Iron Kui Extra (148)
Brother Zhuang and Brother Hang went out the next day with a little tail like Brother Hang.
When going out, Ning Yuanhang said to Brother He: "Brother and I are going to visit the city wall today, are you sure you want to follow?"
He Ge'er is also clever: "You all promise that Dad will take me with you, and what you can't say is nothing."
Ning Yuanhang laughed and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't take you there, but I'm afraid you'll regret it later."
He and his brother didn't understand what it meant.
The city wall was built very long, but Brother Zhuang has practiced martial arts with Ning Yuanhang for several years, so it is no problem to walk these roads. But he and his brother couldn't do it anymore, they walked out of breath.
Looking at the endless prairie, Ning Yuanhang said: "When the imperial court wipes out the Donghu people, we can ride horses on the prairie." Riding a horse galloping on the prairie must be more comfortable than riding on your own horse farm.
When going back, the same is walking. Brother He didn't want to leave, so he said to Brother Zhuang, "Brother, my leg hurts so much, you can carry me on your back!"
Hearing this tone made Ning Yuanhang very unhappy. So before Brother Zhuang could speak, Ning Yuanhang said to a guard: "You, go and carry the Fourth Young Master."
The guard immediately walked up to Brother He and knelt down.
Seeing that Brother Zhuang didn't speak, he couldn't help but glared at Ning Yuanhang, and then reluctantly lay on the guard's back.
Ning Yuanhang sneered and said, "After walking a few steps, my legs hurt from exhaustion. I don't know if you are so delicate, I thought you were a little girl."
"I'm still young."
Ning Yuanhang smiled and said, "Since you know you are young, you should stay at home and play, why do you have to come out with us?"
It can't be said that his mother asked for it! He brother didn't say a word, but his mouth swelled into a toad.
The next day, Hegeer couldn't resist Tang and went out with the two of them again. And today, the two went to the military camp.
After returning home, Brother He told Tang that he would not go out with the two of them.
It was useless for Tang to say anything, and he was so angry: "You child, why are you so unbelievable?"
But no matter how much you scold, it's useless.
Also this night,
Brother Zhuang told Ning Yuanhang and Fang Hui that they were going to live in the military camp for a while to experience life in the military.
Fang Hui said with a look of embarrassment: "This matter is not easy to handle." If you go to the barracks to see, it will be no problem. But it is a bit troublesome to let two and a half-year-old children live in the military camp.
Yuan Hang smiled and said: "Uncle, my father has already arranged this matter. Tomorrow, we can go directly to the military camp." Ning Zhan wrote directly to Zao Zao, hoping that she would let her two children live in the army for a while, Let them suffer.
It's winter now, and it's the time of the truce. There is no problem for the two children to live in the military camp. So Zao Zao readily agreed.
Fang Hui paused, and asked, "How long will it take?" He bypassed him and asked the princess directly, which showed that in Ning Zhan's eyes, the princess was closer than his brother.
"Let's go back to Beijing!" He wondered why his father agreed to come to Tongcheng so readily this time. It turned out that he was waiting here!
But he dared to be lazy and play tricks under Ning Hai's nose, but he didn't dare to obey Ning Zhan's orders. If not, I will definitely not be able to eat after I go back.
When Ma knew about it, he was very reluctant and didn't want Brother Zhuang to go. It's a pity that brother Zhuang didn't follow her. It's a fool's thing to push such a good experience opportunity.
In the evening, Fang Hui and Tang Shi talked about this matter: "The two children are wearing relatively thin clothes, you send them two sets of thick clothes! The province got a military camp, and they were froze."
Tang said softly: "It's already being done. Husband, what are they going to the military camp for?"
Hearing that the two boys were going to live in the military camp, Tang said with disapproval: "Ah Zhuang and his grandson are still so young, how can they go to the military camp? Husband, you hope that Ah Zhuang will grow up to be successful, but you can't discourage him!" The conditions in the middle school were very difficult, how could the two children bear it. .
Fang Hui smiled and said, "That's what Ah Zhan meant." He could stop Brother Zhuang from going. But Yuanhang can endure this hardship, and so can Brother Zhuang. Furthermore, if he dared to stop him, his father might know that he would scold him.
Tang sighed a little: "Your Majesty is really cruel!"
"It is only through hardships that one can become a master. When a child suffers more when he is young, he has to be good to him." Spoiled and spoiled, it is difficult to grow into a talent.
Hearing this, Tang hesitated and said: "Husband, why not let Yuanhe also practice martial arts in the next year!"
Fang Hui was a little surprised, and asked, "Didn't you say you want to let Brother and I go to school? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Tang shook his head and said, "Yuanhe's health is too bad, and he complains endlessly after walking for a few miles. You need to be in good health even for the scientific examination." The provincial and general examinations take nine days. If the body is too poor, I am afraid that I will faint directly in the examination room.
Fang Hui smiled and said: "After that year, I will teach him." I am afraid that this child will not want to learn by then.
After some time, Tang sent someone to send clothes to the barracks. As a result, things were returned intact.
The person who sent the clothes was A Qiang. When he came back, he said, "Second Mistress, the young master said they have clothes to keep out the cold, so they don't need to send them from home."
"Where did they get the clothes?" When the two came, they didn't bring thick clothes. And as far as she knew, Mrs. Ma did not send any thick clothes.
Ah Qiang shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. But the young master and the third young master are wearing brand new down jackets." He actually knew that the clothes worn by Brother Zhuang were bought with money. However, he did not want to tell Tang.
Tang Shi nodded and said: "Since they have thick clothes to wear and don't want to take them home, then send these clothes to the sales home!" Putting them at home also takes up space.
Ah Qiang nodded.
In fact, Tang Shi was not mentioned at first, even Fang Hui felt that the two children would not be able to stay in the military camp for long. As a result, the two of them didn't come back until the Chinese New Year. After saying the Lantern Festival, they had to return to the barracks.
As soon as Niuniu saw Brother Zhuang and Yuanhang, she said, "Why are you wearing so little? You're not afraid of freezing."
Brother Zhuang smiled and said, "Sister, I'm not cold." He was wearing a thin padded jacket and a thicker down jacket, which made him very warm.
Holding Brother Zhuang's hand, she found it was warmer than her own, and Niuniu believed his words.
Yuan Hang looked at Ma Shi with joy in his eyes, and asked with a smile, "Auntie, but is there any happy event at home?"
Mrs. Ma said with a smile on her face, "Mrs. Chen's family sent a matchmaker to propose a marriage yesterday."
Now Niuniu is the only one who is eligible for marriage in the family. Therefore, the object of marriage proposal is self-evident.
Hearing that it was his eldest sister's lifelong event, Brother Zhuang naturally became concerned: "Mother, which Chen family is it?"
Hearing that he was the second son of General Chen in the army, Brother Zhuang kept his name in his heart.
Yuanhang asked: "Auntie, is the marriage allowed?"
Ma said with a smile: "No! You have to find out the details of the other party first." Niuniu has something to say first, and the marriage must be approved by her. Therefore, Ma told the matchmaker to think about it. Otherwise, after listening to the matchmaker's words, I'm afraid she would have agreed on the spot.
Brother Zhuang and Ning Yuanhang said: "Second Brother, let's find a chance to meet the Second Young Master of the Chen family?"
Ning Yuanhang gave him a blank look, and said, "What's the hurry, check out the details of this person first. No problem, let's go see him again." If there is a problem, there is no need to see him.
The day before the new year, Tang and Fang Hui said, "Husband, where shall we have New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow?"
Fang Hui asked inexplicably: "Of course I ate here, what's wrong?"
Tang said with a sad expression: "I'm afraid that the young master and grandson won't come to my place to eat." This is more tactful, and the grandson's attitude is that he will never come to the Herb Garden for New Year's Eve dinner.
No matter how slow Fang Hui was, he could already sense that Brother Zhuang and Yuanhang were not happy with Tang. The two of them have been in Tongcheng for such a long time, and they haven't stepped into the Herb Garden. It's just that Tang's status is embarrassing, and the two of them can't make a difference even if they don't see each other.
After hesitating for a while, Fang Hui said: "Tomorrow's New Year's Eve dinner, let's use it in the main hall of the front yard!"
In the evening, Fang Hui asked Brother Zhuang and Yuan Hang to talk about it.
Brother Zhuang heard that Fang Hui wanted to leave Mrs. Ma alone in the main courtyard. Very angry: "My eldest sister and I want to have a New Year's Eve dinner with my mother."
Yuanhang also felt that Fang Hui's actions were too much. Ma Shi was confused and did many wrong things. It is understandable that Fang Hui hates her and doesn't want to see her. But brother Zhuang rarely came back after five years in Beijing, and he still didn't let their mother and son celebrate the New Year together, which is too indifferent.
Fang Hui had no choice but to change his mind: "Then let your mother have the New Year's Eve dinner with us!"
It's a pity that brother Zhuang is unwilling now: "Father, let's eat separately! In case mother and eldest sister see them, they won't be able to eat." Even he is very responsive now.
Yuanhang said empathetically: "Uncle, I also think it's better to eat separately. You should know better than us the elder sister's temper. We should eat together, I'm afraid everyone won't be able to enjoy this New Year's Eve dinner." Stayed here After such a long time, he had already seen that Tang was the actual hostess of the family. As for the eldest aunt Ma Shi, she just has a false name as a wife. But the matter of the big house is a muddled account, and I can't figure it out.
Thinking about Niu Niu's temperament, Fang Hui finally sighed and said: "Since you want to eat separately, then eat separately!" It was annoying to Ma Shi, but it was a headache to Niu Niu. Fortunately, Niu Niu is old enough to get married in two years. Another two years will be fine.
The two of them wrote big characters at night, but brother Zhuang couldn't calm down, and it took a lot of paper.
Yuanhang put down his brush and said, "Brother, don't be angry." He couldn't be seen by anyone else, let alone his son Zhuang.
"Ahang, how could he treat my mother like this." Brother Zhuang's eyes were red when he said this.
Yuanhang didn't know what to say. This kind of thing is really beyond their control.
Brother Zhuang clenched his fists and said, "Ahang, I want to pick up my mother and go to the capital."
Yuanhang shook his head and said, "Grandpa won't agree." Not to mention grandparents, even his parents would not agree.
Brother Zhuang was very frustrated. Watching his mother suffer and being helpless as a son made him feel like a sucker.
Yuanhang couldn't see him like this, and said, "Brother, wait a few years for you to get married, and then you can pick up your eldest aunt." Brother Zhuang will definitely move out when he gets married. When the time comes, he will bring his eldest aunt to Beijing to fulfill his filial piety, and the elders will not bother him anymore.
