Tie Kui's Extra Story (144)
Tiehu died of illness, and the descendants of the Tie family rushed back one after another.
A fat woman with a child in her arms saw Xiao Shi, walked up to her and called out: "Auntie." After calling, she asked the child in her arms to be called Auntie.
The voice sounded familiar, but the person didn't recognize her. Xiao Shizhixi looked at her and asked in surprise, "Who are you?"
The woman said with some embarrassment: "Auntie, I'm Caixia." It's not Xiao Shi's fault, it's because she has changed too much.
Xiao's eyes widened. She remembered Caixia's oval face back then with fair skin and a very slender figure, a standard beauty. It is incredible that the chubby woman in front of her is Caixia.
Seeing her appearance, Duan Caixia knew why she was so surprised: "I ate so well when breastfeeding the child, and I became so fat if I didn't pay attention." In fact, she didn't want to breastfeed the child back then, but was forced by Catcher Li of. During the period of breastfeeding, I ate a lot of things that produced milk, and I gained a lot of weight. I was about to lose weight after weaning, but I got pregnant again before I started. The second child was a son, and Li Butou, not to mention the baby, asked her to feed her until she was two years old before allowing her to be weaned.
After being shocked, Xiao quickly calmed down, and said insincerely: "It's better to be fatter, it looks like a blessing."
For example, after Hui gave birth to Primary Four, she clamored to lose weight, and was scolded by her. Afterwards, Ruhui followed Meng Ranxi to work abroad. But later I heard from Zeng Chenfu that Ruhui succeeded in losing weight, and she was back to before she gave birth to Primary Four. The old clothes can also be worn.
At that time, Xiao Shi also whispered to Ning Hai that Ruhui was full and was supporting herself. What kind of fat does such an adult lose, a little flesh on his body makes him richer. But seeing Duan Caixia now, I feel glad that Ruhui lost weight after weaning. Otherwise, if she accidentally became fat like Duan Caixia, it would be too eye-catching. She couldn't stand it, let alone Meng Ranxi.
This man, there are a few who don't like to be pretty.
In fact, Mrs. Xiao was thinking too much. The reason why Duan Caixia became so fat was due to Li Butou. He knew that putting Duan Caixia under house arrest would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, so he came up with such a way to draw fire from the bottom.
Duan Caixia has become such a big fat man now, even if she wanted to seduce someone, no one would pay any attention to her.
And since she became a fat person, Catcher Li no longer restricted her freedom, and Duan Caixia was able to take her children shopping.
Just as he was talking, he saw a man in his forties approaching, and called Xiao Shi respectfully: "Auntie."
Duan Caixia hurriedly said to Xiao Shi: "Auntie, I am the head of the house."
Mrs. Xiao nodded towards Li Butou: "You guys are busy,
I still have to take care of your uncle. "
Duan Caixia asked in a low voice: "Head of the house, should I take the children with me?" House arrests are all up to Li Butou, and she dare not make her own decisions.
"No, just take Ruyi with you." He wanted to cling to the Anyang Marquis Mansion. But now it is the funeral of Mr. Tie, if it is too obvious to annoy Anyang Hou, it will be self-defeating.
In the evening, Hong Bo asked Ning Hai: "Uncle, will Fang Hui and Ah Zhan come?" If the two of them came, he would postpone the funeral for a few days. As for Hong Lin, he was not prepared to wait, it was too far away, and he couldn't wait.
Ning Hai shook his head and said, "You don't need to wait for them, let father be buried in peace as soon as possible!" Now in August, the weather is still relatively hot. If you don't bury it as soon as possible, even if you use ice, it will be smelly.
After hearing this, Hongbo knew it in his heart.
Tie Hu's funeral was very decent. Not only the county magistrate and the chief secretary and other officials in the county came to express their condolences, but even the prefect and other officials in the prefecture city sent people to send the funeral ceremony.
When the coffin went up the mountain, villagers from all over the world came to deliver the coffin. Standing in a long line looks particularly spectacular.
During the burial, Chunni passed out because she was too sad. Ning Hai was also distraught, but somehow he held on. But after the funeral was over, he also fell ill.
Although Xiao was worried, she didn't blame Ning Hai this time, she just took care of him more carefully.
After bringing the medicine to Ning Hai, Xiao couldn't help muttering, "The doctors here are really bad. After drinking this medicine for three days, it still has no effect."
Ning Hai drank the medicine and rinsed his mouth, then smiled and said, "Doctors in the county can't compare with imperial doctors." If they could, they would be able to enter the imperial hospital.
"We'll go back to Beijing when Dad's July is over!" Ning Hai looked like this, she didn't feel at ease staying here for the New Year.
Ning Hai nodded and said, "Okay."
Fang Hui got the news of Tie Hu's death, and immediately went to ask for leave. After asking for leave, he went home to pack his things and prepare to go to Tiejia Village.
Not long after Tang's confinement, the child is so young, he can't go even if he wants to. Therefore, she wanted Fang Hui to take her eldest son and elder brother there.
Fang Hui shook his head and said, "I have to go to Tiejia Village as soon as possible, and I can't take my brother and I." Now I have to go back to the funeral, there is no delay, it takes too much time to take a child. But if you take a ride with your brother, you are afraid that the child will not be able to bear it physically.
Tang didn't insist either, but just said to Fang Hui: "Husband, how did you think about what I told you last time?" She wanted to send her and her brother back to the capital to study.
The teaching conditions here in Tongcheng are too poor, sir is not even a scholar. At the beginning of the year, she accidentally saw a letter written by Brother Zhuang to Fang Hui. The powerful words made her want to send her son back to Beijing.
Fang Hui was silent for a while and asked: "You and brother are still so young, are you willing?"
Tang naturally couldn't bear it, but he still said: "My brother is so smart, he will learn what I teach him. After going to the capital, I believe that there will be a famous teacher to teach him, and he will definitely make great achievements in the imperial examination in the future." .”
As a mother, we all want the best for our children. In addition, there have been no major battles in Tongcheng in the past few years, but small battles have continued, and there have been many casualties. Every time Fang Hui went to war, she was terrified. So she didn't want her son to inherit Fang Hui's mantle, but wanted her son to take the imperial examination and become an official.
Fang Hui sighed, and said: "I will tell dad about this, but don't expect too much. I'm afraid dad won't agree to this." Ning Hai is old, and his health is not good enough to be tired. I don't have so much time and energy to take care of a child. And Ning Zhan had a bad relationship with him, and they separated again, so he would most likely not agree to this matter.
Tang said softly: "I have to give it a try." If you don't try, how do you know it won't work!
In fact, Tang wanted to go to the funeral with her brother because she wanted Ning Hai to know that her son was outstanding. As a grandfather, I definitely hope that my children and grandchildren will be successful. Seeing that Hegeer is a talent to be made, he will definitely agree to let Hegeer stay in the capital to study!
Ten days later, Fang Hui hurried back to Tiejia Village. He was not surprised to hear that Tie Hu had been buried. For such a long time, the Tie family would not wait for him.
Hearing that Ning Hai was ill, Fang Hui entered the house very anxiously. Seeing the haggard looking Ning Hai, Fang Hui called out with some guilt: "Father..." It's just that I haven't seen him for three years, and his father has aged so much.
Ning Hai thought that he was worried about his illness, and said with a smile, "I'm pretty much better. It's your mother who made a big fuss and asked me to rest for two more days."
After saying a few words, Ning Hai said, "Are you hungry? If you are, let the kitchen get you something to eat. After eating, go up the mountain to kowtow to your grandfather."
After grabbing two mouthfuls of rice casually, Fang Hui took it to the mountain. When he came to Tiehu's grave, Fang Hui saw Ning Zhan and Brother Zhuang.
Brother Zhuang was overjoyed when he saw Fang Hui. But Brother Hang stopped him in time and reminded him: "Brother, this is the grave of great-grandfather." So, even if he was happy, he couldn't show it.
"Father." When he said this, he was already in front of Fang Hui.
Fang Hui patted Brother Zhuang on the shoulder and said softly, "I'll visit your grandfather's grave first. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later." He cared about Brother Zhuang very much, and no matter how busy he was, he would write letters to Brother Zhuang. So even if the father and son are not together, the relationship is very good.
After visiting the grave, Fang Hui asked Ning Zhan, "You also arrived today?"
Ning Zhan nodded and said, "I'm away on business, so I've been delayed for a while."
The two went down the mountain together, and Ning Zhan asked about the situation in Tongcheng. And Fang Hui also asked Brother Zhuang about something.
In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between the two brothers is still good, and it is not as hot as water according to the rumors.
Because Fang Hui and Ning Zhan are not Tiehu's grandsons, they don't need to be filial. So after staying for a few days, the two will go back.
Brother Zhuang said to Ning Hai: "Grandfather, I want to go back to Tongcheng with my father."
Ning Hai naturally had no objection: "When I go to Tongcheng, I can't fail in my homework and martial arts. If not, I will be punished severely after returning to Beijing."
Before Brother Zhuang could speak, Xiao smiled and said, "Brother Zhuang is so diligent, how can he be slack. But Brother Hang, I am worried that without Brother Zhuang to supervise, he will be lazy at that time."
Brother Hang did not refute Xiao, but said: "Grandfather, I have always heard you mention Tongcheng, but I have never been there. Grandfather, I want to take this opportunity to see what Tongcheng is like."
Ning Hai smiled and said: "You have to ask your father about this matter." He can't decide what happened to Brother Hang.
Ning Zhan is a very open-minded father, knowing that Brother Hang is going to Tongcheng, he immediately agreed.
Xiao's complained a little bit about Brother Hang's son Ning Zhan: "You are too spoiled with the child!" She didn't want Brother Hang to go to Tongcheng at all, not to mention the danger, and the environment is not good.
Ning Zhan said with a smile: "Mother, the Queen Mother often says that boys should go out more to see people and things outside, so as to increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons."
Anyway, Brother Hang doesn't need the imperial examination, and he has more experience outside to know the world and the world, so he has nothing to do with it.
Even the queen mother has moved out, so Xiao can't complain anymore: "Tongcheng is in a mess, give more guards to Brother Hang and Brother Zhuang."
Since he was going to go to Tongcheng with Fang Hui, he naturally got his consent. Ning Zhan personally told Fang Hui about it: "In the past few months, I will trouble you to take care of him."
Fang Hui said: "Brother Zhuang has been in the Hou Mansion for several years, and he depends on you and his younger siblings to take care of him. If it is troublesome, it is I who trouble you and your younger siblings."
Ning Zhan smiled and said, "Ah Zhuang is very sensible. Not only his parents, but also Afu and I like him very much." have.
He also knew that Brother Zhuang was doing well in the capital, otherwise Fang Hui would have sent someone to pick Brother Zhuang back to Tongcheng.
