Tie Kui's Extra Story (146)

Ma Shi was talking to Niu Niu about her marriage in the room. Niu Niu is sixteen years old this year, but she is not engaged yet, which has become Ma Shi's heart disease.

Niu Niu's ears were almost callused.

The more she talked, the more anxious Ma became: "No, I have to tell your father about this. We can't delay any longer. If we delay any longer, we won't be able to find a good family."

Niu Niu said helplessly: "Mother, there are a lot of sixteen-year-old girls in Tongcheng who are not engaged, let's not worry."

After Zao Zao arrived in Tongcheng, she set up a women's school here. When Mrs. Ma got the news, he asked someone to tell Fang Hui that he would send Niuniu to study in a women's school. She was looked down upon because she didn't go to school, but she didn't want her daughter to make the same mistakes again.

Niu Niu was reluctant to go at first, but finally succumbed to the offensive of Ma Shi's tears. After studying in school for four years, Niu Niu never went back.

"Don't fool me. Which girl didn't start seeing each other at the age of sixteen?" After finishing speaking, Mrs. Ma said sadly: "It's all my fault, it's useless for me to be a mother. If you can't go out, you can't do anything now I'll show you someone's family."

Niuniu was tired of hearing these words: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely find you a son-in-law that suits you well." There are so many good men in Tongcheng, it is not difficult to find one he likes.

Four years ago, Niuniu made a big fuss on the grounds that the kitchen sent her bad food. In order to avoid similar incidents from happening again, Fang Hui asked them to fire by themselves. But not long after, Niuniu quarreled with Fang Hui again because the food delivered by the shopping place was not fresh. Fang Hui had no choice but to give them one hundred taels of silver every month and let them send people to buy food and vegetables.

Even so, Niu Niu would still make troubles from time to time because of clothes and jewelry that didn't suit her. Fang Hui felt dizzy when he saw her now.

Mrs. Ma is not so optimistic: "I can't go out, and your father doesn't care about your marriage, where can I find a good son-in-law for me?" As for handing over Niuniu's marriage to Mrs. Tang, she never thought about it.

Niuniu felt that her marriage should be finalized as soon as possible! Otherwise, she would go crazy if she was told so much every day.

At this time, the servant girl shouted loudly from outside: "Grandma, girl, the young master is back."

Ma Shi was stunned for three seconds, and it was Niuniu who held her hand and said excitedly that Adi was back, and she came back to her senses.

Brother Zhuang walked in quickly, looked at Mashi who was sitting on the chair with red eyes and shouted: "Mother..."

Hearing this, Mrs. Ma hugged Brother Zhuang in his arms and cried loudly: "My son, my son, you are finally back.

Mom misses you so much. "

When Niuniu saw her, she couldn't help but shed tears. These years, her mother yearned day and night, and even once wanted to go to the capital. Now my brother is finally back.

When Brother Hang entered the room, he saw the mother and son hugging each other and crying. At the moment, I couldn't help reaching out and touching my nose.

Mrs. Ma cried for a long time before she stopped her tears. He pulled Brother Zhuang and asked, "Son, do you eat well and dress warmly in the capital? Has anyone bullied you?"

Brother Zhuang said patiently: "Don't worry, mother, I eat well and dress well in the capital. With my grandfather and second uncle around, no one dares to bully me."

Niu Niu wiped her tears and said, "Mother, Brother has a rosy complexion, he is half a head taller than his peers, and the material of the clothes on his body is better than that of Ning Yuanhe. Just by looking at these, you can tell that he is doing well in the capital."

Mrs. Ma took a serious look at Brother Zhuang, and saw that he was really as Niuniu said, so he was really relieved.

Niu Niu asked: "Ah Zhuang, will you return to Beijing after the Chinese New Year?"

"What is going back to Beijing? No going back to Beijing. Brother Zhuang will stay in Tongcheng and not go anywhere."

Niu Niu knew Ma Shi's temperament, but she didn't want to go along with her: "Mother, the gentleman my grandfather hired for Brother Zhuang and the others is famous for raising others. The gentleman in the family is not even a scholar. You let Brother Zhuang stay. , Do you want to waste him?"

Brother Zhuang said: "Mother, my grandfather asked me to return to Beijing after the spring. This time, I can stay in Tongcheng for five months."

Mrs. Ma still doesn't want Brother Zhuang to return to Beijing.

Niu Niu knew where Mrs. Ma was concerned: "Mother, the surname Tang Ke has always wanted to send Ning Yuanhe back to Beijing to study. If you want Brother Zhuang to return to Tongcheng, maybe Ning Yuanhe will be able to return to Beijing to study. Mom, do you want Ning Yuan and Brother Zhuang to be together?"

In Niuniu's heart, only Brother Zhuang is her brother. She didn't recognize Ning Yuan and Qianqian.

Hearing this, Mrs. Ma didn't say anything more about letting Brother Zhuang stay. How could her child be suppressed by that vixen.

Brother Hang, who was completely ignored, could only cough twice in desperation.

It was only then that Ma Shi and Niu Niu noticed him.

Brother Zhuang glanced at Brother Zhuang apologetically, and then introduced to the two of them: "Mother, eldest sister, this is Yuanhang."

Only then did Ning Yuanhang walk over, and gave a junior salute: "Yuanhang has met my aunt."

In the past few years, Niuniu has corresponded with Brother Zhuang, and Brother Hang has been mentioned many times in the letters. Ma Shi and Niu Niu are relatively familiar with Brother Hang.

Niuniu looked at Ning Yuanhang and said in amazement: "He is really more beautiful than a girl!" Anyway, in Tongcheng, she has never seen a boy who is more beautiful than Ning Yuanhang.

When Ning Yuanhang heard this, he gave Brother Zhuang a slap in the face. Keep this account in mind and wait until you return to Beijing to settle it.

"How can you talk?" After finishing speaking, Mrs. Ma said to Brother Hang: "Your elder sister is a little outspoken and has no malicious intentions. Don't worry about it." Although he doesn't like Mrs. Xiao and Zeng Chenfu, it is not that Make faces at Brother Hang, a child.

Yuanhang smiled and said, "It's okay." He used to be a little annoyed by being praised for his beauty, but he got used to it after a long time.

Niu Niu asked with a smile: "Second brother, what do you want to eat, I will make it for you."

Ning Yuanhang said: "I'm not picky about food, I can do whatever I want."

Brother Zhuang immediately exposed him: "Who said before that the food in Tiejia Village is like pig food?" The big pot rice that was eaten at that time was naturally not delicious.

Ning Yuanhang was also speechless for this big brother who was always making trouble: "The food in Tiejia Village is too greasy." Anyway, he firmly refused to admit that he was a picky eater.

In fact, Ning Yuanhang's family education is very good, even if the food he ate in Tiejia Village was not to his liking, he never said anything about it. Just in private, I complained to Brother Zhuang.

Niu Niu smiled and said: "So, the second brother doesn't like to eat greasy food anymore? I know this, what else?"

"Also, he likes to eat meat, not vegetables."

Seeing Niuniu enter the kitchen, Ning Yuanhang asked in disbelief: "Is the elder sister really cooking?" She thought Niuniu was just being polite and let the cook do it!

Brother Zhuang said: "Sister's cooking skills are very good, let's try it later."

Ning Yuanhang hurriedly asked Mrs. Ma: "Auntie, does eldest sister often cook?" Don't make any terrible things for them to eat when you bring them back.

Ma said with a smile, "Your eldest sister's cooking skills are not bad." In fact, Niuniu likes to cook very much. The food is better than the cook's.

Ning Yuanhang was dubious.

Niuniu made five dishes, braised pork in brown sauce, steamed fish, fried yam with fungus, fried cabbage, and a plate of sauced beef and mushroom chicken soup. Five dishes and one soup are enough for four people.

The presentation of this dish is not bad, Ning Yuanhang thinks that his eldest sister's cooking skills are not sure.

As soon as the bowls and chopsticks were placed, a maid came outside, and the maid saluted Ma Shi. But this courtesy is a bit perfunctory.

Brother Zhuang and Ning Yuanhang couldn't help but frown at the same time.

Niu Niu looked at her with unkind eyes: "What are you doing here?"

This servant girl is Tang Shi's confidant Shi Cui: "Miss, the master asked the servants to come over and invite the young master and grandchildren to go to the Herb Garden for dinner."

Niu Niu was angry, she was trying to scare her so much that she couldn't eat anymore: "Get lost."

It's a pity that Shi Cui ignored her at all, but said to Brother Zhuang and Brother Hang: "Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, Second Mistress has prepared a table of delicious dishes for you."

Niuniu often wrote letters saying that Tang's cut their food and clothing expenses, so Brother Zhuang also hated Tang's very much. It's just that he has a simple and honest nature, so he can't say anything harsh: "No need, I'll stay here to eat with my mother and eldest sister."

Brother Hang glanced at Shi Cui, and asked, "Where is the Fragrant Herb Garden?" In fact, he asked knowingly.

A smile appeared on Shi Cui's face: "It's the yard where my second grandmother lives."

Brother Hang looked at Shi Cui, with a look of coldness on his face: "It's the first time I've met the nephew who asked the eldest son who has returned home to accompany his nephew who is a guest, to eat in the yard of a concubine's room." Even if Tang Shi prepared He is not interested in dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder.

Shi Cui's complexion instantly became difficult to look at.

Brother Hang glanced at Shi Cui coldly: "If it was in our Hou's mansion, a servant like you who knows no respect and inferiority would not be too much to be beaten to death." Women take it seriously. This Tang family's arrogance is not ordinary arrogance.

Hearing this, Shi Cui's face turned pale immediately.

Niuniu slapped her hands happily: "Second brother, you are really amazing, but you scared her with just a few words." In the past few years, she didn't know how much she was angry with Shi Cui. Unexpectedly, Brother Hang cured him with a few words.

Brother Hang looked a little weird, and said: "Sister, I didn't mean to scare her. If it was in the Hou's mansion, such a presumptuous maid would either be killed or sold." To tolerate such a tricky slave in the mansion, the uncle's house is really a bit of a rule None.

Niuniu was a little stunned.

Brother Zhuang saw that the atmosphere was not right, and said, "Sister, go on a long voyage and eat. If you don't eat, the food will be cold."

Brother Hang took a bite of braised pork first. Although it was not as delicious as Aunt Li's cooking, the taste was not bad.

After eating, Mrs. Ma and Brother Zhuang said: "Zhuang, you and Niuniu will visit your grandfather tomorrow."

Niuniu flatly refused: "I won't go." The most annoying thing is to go to Ma's house.

Brother Zhuang nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Brother Hang asked: "Brother, I'm going to visit the Eldest Princess Mansion tomorrow, do you want to go with me?"

Brother Zhuang hurriedly said: "Go, go, go, how can you not go. I have been to my grandfather's house tomorrow, so I will go to the princess mansion with you!"

Seeing that Mrs. Ma was about to speak again, Niu Niu immediately said: "Mother, how many people want to get in touch with the eldest princess's mansion, but they can't do it!"

The corner of Mashi's mouth twitched twice, but he didn't speak.
