Iron Kui Extra (152)

Niuniu didn't want to learn any rules and etiquette, so she didn't have to find trouble for herself. Besides, she had to embroider her wedding dress!

Mammy Xie saw the resistance in her eyes and said, "Miss, think it over carefully and give me an answer tomorrow morning. If you don't want to learn, I'll go back to Beijing in two days." She doesn't want to learn, she doesn't want to teach yet !

Mrs. Shizi said that the eldest girl was not taught since she was a child, and she acted straightforwardly and freely. This is too tactful. Look at this appearance, she is really no different from a village girl in the country, she doesn't look like an official girl at all.

Think about the second girl, and then compare the eldest girl, it is really a sky and an earth.

Mother Hua led Nanny Qin out and arranged them in the room where Brother Zhuang and Brother Zhuang lived.

"My girl is ignorant, please don't mind, mama." It's okay to ask her to persuade Niu Niu, but I really don't know how to teach the rules and etiquette. If the teaching is different, it will be even more laughed at. I was still worried about this, but I didn't expect that Sleepy sent me a pillow.

Madam Xie said indifferently: "Girl is willing to learn, I will teach seriously. If you don't want to learn, don't force it."

Ma Shi and Hua's mother want her to learn etiquette, but Niuniu can't do it if she doesn't want to.

Madam Xie said with a straight face, "Since you have agreed to learn, you will have to do whatever I ask you to do from now on. If you are not satisfied, you have to be serious."

From here on, Niu Niu felt that she was in dire straits.

After Brother Zhuang received the letter, he found out that Zeng Chenfu had sent Niu Tajie a foster nun.

Seeing that he was going to find Zeng Chenfu, Yuan Hang asked a little strangely: "Why are you looking for my mother now?"

Squeezing the letter, Brother Zhuang said: "My aunt has found a foster mother for my elder sister, I have to thank my aunt."

"It's better to thank me than to thank my mother." Seeing Brother Zhuang looking at him, Yuanhang smiled and said, "Eldest sister can't even manage a maid. I'm afraid she will suffer after she gets married, so I specially asked my mother to choose a strong one." The foster mother went to teach her."

Brother Zhuang was very moved: "Second brother, thank you. After two days, I will invite you to Fuyunlou to eat roast duck!" Not long ago, Fuyunlou released a dish called roast duck, and the taste is simply amazing. It's brother Zhuang, he likes to eat very much.

Brother Hang feels that Brother Zhuang is really getting better and better now.

In the blink of an eye, it will be September of the next year, and Brother Zhuang is going to Tongcheng to marry Niu Niu.

The girl from the big house gets married,

Erfang will definitely send someone to attend. This person, of course, must be Ning Yuanhang.

Ning Yuanhang's face turned bitter when he heard that he had to go to the military camp after going to Tongcheng.

Zeng Chenfu bought some things for Niu Niu, but Brother Zhuang thought it was too expensive, so he declined.

Zeng Chenfu smiled and said, "This is a wish from your grandmother and I, and it's for Niuniu, not for you."

Brother Zhuang bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, Auntie." Over the years, he has received quite a few Buddha photos from Zeng Chenfu.

"Stupid boy, why are you being so polite?" It was for Brother Zhuang's sake, otherwise she would not bother.

Brother Zhuang not only thanked Zeng Chenfu, but also solemnly thanked Xiao Shi.

Ning Hai also added makeup to Niu Niu, but he was simple and straightforward, and he gave two thousand taels of silver: "Whatever you like, let Niu buy it yourself!"

Before leaving, Ning Yuanhang went to visit Zeng Chenfu: "Mom, you must give me another white and fat girl." Originally, after giving birth to the fourth child, she didn't plan to have another child, but she didn't expect that she would be pregnant again without paying attention. up. The husband and wife have already discussed it, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, they will not give birth after giving birth.

Zeng Chenfu scolded with a smile: "It's up to me to decide whether to have a boy or a girl." There are three sons now, and she also wants to have another daughter. But the son doesn't dislike it either, the Ning family's heirs are weak. With many sons, we can support each other in the future.

In addition to what Xiao Shi and Zeng Chenfu prepared, Brother Zhuang also bought a lot of things for Ma Shi and Niuniu. Including the winter clothes they brought, there are sixteen boxes in total.

Bringing so many things will naturally slow down the itinerary. The two didn't arrive in Tongcheng until mid-October, when it started to snow.

Looking at the heavy snow, Ning Yuanhang said depressedly: "Why is it so cold here in winter?" He really wanted to stay at home and warm up by the fire, and he didn't want to go to the military camp for training at all, it was too much suffering.

Brother Zhuang couldn't explain this question.

When the two arrived at Ning Mansion, they took their things directly to the main room in the backyard.

Mrs. Ma was making clothes when she saw Brother Zhuang and shed tears again.

Ning Yuanhang really didn't understand why his eldest aunt was crying so much! Cry when you are happy, cry when you are unhappy, and cry when you are wronged.

After the mother and son finished expressing their heartfelt feelings, brother Zhuang asked, "Mom, where's eldest sister?" As a newlywed, Niuniu should stay at home during this time and cannot go out.

After wiping away tears, Mrs. Ma said, "Your elder sister asked her about the dowry."

The Tang family was in charge of the family affairs, and everyone expected that Niuniu's dowry would be arranged by her.

Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive.

Seeing the anger on Niuniu's face, Ning Yuanhang knew that the dowry might not be what she wanted.

Seeing the two of them, Niuniu took a deep breath, and then said as calmly as possible: "Ah Zhuang, second brother."

Ning Yuanhang felt a little strange. But I haven't seen her for more than a year, and the eldest sister has become so beautiful. Not only the complexion is rosy and shiny, but the skin has also become fair and tender.

Brother Zhuang asked: "Sister, what's the matter? Are you so angry?"

Niuniu said angrily, "I told you to use rosewood for the furniture, but that bitch gave me all pine wood."

Hearing this, Brother Zhuang said with an uneasy expression, "Sourwood wood is much more expensive than pine wood."

Ning Zhan and Zeng Chenfu have already started collecting wood for their daughter Xinxin for future use. Ning Yuanhang likes this only younger sister so much, and he also goes to the wood shop when shopping. Brother Zhuang will also follow, and naturally he will understand after going a lot.

Niu Niu said with a livid face: "Father asked her to buy me a dowry of forty-eight lifts, she must have thought it was too much. So, she fiddled with the dowry."

Ning Yuanhang was not surprised by this, and since he is not his own daughter, how could he buy first-class good things. If it was so good, she wouldn't allow the maids around her to bully the mother and daughter.

Brother Zhuang asked: "Aside from furniture, what about other things? Is it the same for all?"

"I haven't seen anything else yet."

Brother Zhuang frowned, and said, "What do you mean you haven't seen it yet? This property shop won't be ready in a short while."

Niuniu shook her head and said, "There is no real estate shop, but I bought a house with two entrances."

Ning Yuanhang asked: "Sister, this girl is married. Usually, she buys property shops, clothes and cloth, furniture, antique calligraphy and paintings, daily necessities and medicinal materials, as well as jewelry and rouge powder. What did she buy for you?"

Niu Niu said: "Except for property shops and antique calligraphy and paintings, there are others."

Ning Yuanhang asked a little strangely: "The situation here in Tongcheng is special, and it makes sense to not have a farm shop. But why are there no antique calligraphy and paintings?" Business in Tongcheng is not easy, and the farmland is even more difficult to sell.

"It's no better than the capital here, and even if you have money, you can't buy antique calligraphy and paintings. Besides, I don't recognize this kind of thing. She wants to buy me a fake, and I can't tell."

Ning Yuanhang looked weird, but he knew that Fang Hui got a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings when the family was separated. Generally, the antique calligraphy and paintings given to girls as dowry are given by the elders in the family, rather than bought. Of course, buying a dowry of forty-eight lifts for Niuniu, even if you don't give her a dowry with antique calligraphy and paintings, it's still unreasonable. Just be afraid, that woman wants to hide these things and not give them to his eldest brother in the future. You know, the eldest brother is the eldest son, and most of these things belong to him.

Thinking of this, Ning Yuanhang asked, "Didn't Uncle say anything?"

Niuniu shook her head and said, "Father has been very busy recently and is rarely at home."

Ning Yuanhang thought for a while, but finally said nothing. If the uncle wants to favor that woman's child, it's useless to make trouble.

Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit dignified, Ning Yuanhang said with a smile: "Eldest sister, my grandmother and mother also bought some things for you. Sister, do you want to open it and have a look?"

Niuniu nodded and said, "Okay."

Xiao Shi and Zeng Chenfu each added makeup to Niuniu's two sets of jewelry. In addition, Zeng Chenfu also bought two sets of rouge gouache produced by Rouge Workshop. In addition, there are two boxes of twelve bolts of silk and satin.

Niuniu looked at these things, her eyes turned red instantly. Although the things haven't been delivered yet, the dowry Tang prepared for her is definitely not as good as these.

Seeing this, Brother Zhuang said: "Sister, I also bought a lot of good things for you, see if you like them."

Seeing that there was still a box of wound medicine in it, Niuniu said, "Why do you still buy this?"

Brother Zhuang said: "My brother-in-law is in the army, so he will inevitably get injured in the future. I just thought, it's better to prepare some high-quality wound medicine at home." The wound medicine here in Tongcheng is not as good as that in Beijing.

Brother Hang said with a smile: "Sister, those boxes of decorations are not as valuable as this box of wound medicine. You have to keep them well and don't give them away casually."

Seeing Brother Zhuang dig something out of his sleeve, Ning Yuanhang shook his head at him. Then, Ning Yuanhang took the small mahogany box from his entourage and handed it to Niu Niu, saying embarrassedly: "Sister, this is a gift from me, don't feel shabby."

Niuniu opened it and saw that it was a pair of Ruyi magpie gold hairpins. Seeing this thing, she was very moved.

Brother Hang smiled and said, "Auntie, sister, is there any hot water? My brother and I haven't bathed for half a month."

While the two were taking a bath, Yuan Hang and Brother Zhuang said, "Brother, the shop and property you bought for Eldest Sister, wait until two days before Eldest Sister gets married!"

"Why?"

Ning Yuanhang asked: "Have you told your aunt and elder sister about getting half of the property?"

Brother Zhuang shook his head: "I didn't say anything." This Ning Hai didn't warn him, but at that time he was still young and the things were not in his hands, so Brother Zhuang didn't feel anything, so he didn't say anything. Later, when he grew up, Ma Shi didn't ask about it, and he wouldn't say it deliberately.

"Eldest aunt and eldest sister don't know, and that woman definitely doesn't know either." After a pause, Ning Yuanhang said: "Brother, people die for money and birds die for food. Let the woman know that you have already acquired half of the family property. I will have evil thoughts."

Brother Zhuang was stunned: "It shouldn't happen, right?"

Ning Yuanhang said: "She is reluctant to give the rosewood to the eldest sister, but replaced it with cheap pine wood. Do you think she will be indifferent when she knows that you have got half of the property? Brother, we have to be careful during this time. After the new year, Come with me to the military camp for training!"

Brother Zhuang nodded.
