Tetsukai Extra (153)
The matter of furniture materials finally came to Fang Hui. As a result, Fang Hui said he knew about it.
"Your second mother sent someone to buy sour branch wood that day, but she didn't expect the other party to pass it off as a good one. Your second mother returned the goods in a fit of anger and changed it to pine wood." Tang returned the goods and went I told Fang Hui.
Niuniu obviously didn't believe it: "I returned the goods from that person, and I can buy it from someone else."
Fang Hui said helplessly: "It's not easy to buy suitable rosewood wood. In addition, it took a long time to pay the furniture fee, so I asked the steward to buy pine wood instead. I'm afraid you won't be happy if you know it, so you didn't tell me Tell me." Fang Hui was afraid that Niu Niu would make trouble if she found out, so she kept it secret.
Niuniu didn't believe it, but she could only accept the result.
When Tang Shi and Fang Hui talked about this, they were very aggrieved and cried: "Master, before the eldest girl scolded me, I didn't say anything. But this time, she went too far this time."
Shi Cui said resentfully from the side: "Master, the second grandma worked so hard to buy the dowry for the eldest girl. But the eldest girl is not only not grateful at all, but always thinks that the things she bought are not good enough to quarrel with grandma. This time, it is even more so. In front of the fourth young master, he scolded grandma, a vixen and a slut. The fourth young master was so angry that his eyes were red."
Fang Hui was also very angry, he didn't expect Niu Niu to be so ignorant. But thinking that she was going to get married soon, she had no choice but to suppress her anger: "You have been wronged. But she will go out in two months, so you should follow her more during this time!"
Tang's complexion paused, and finally nodded in response.
Brother Zhuang was disappointed to see Fang Hui's inaction. But he knew that it was meaningless to continue entanglement with this matter.
After thinking for a long time, Brother Zhuang went to Fang Hui and said that he was going to train with Yuanhang in the military camp, and that the eldest sister would come back before she got married.
If his son is motivated, he will naturally not object.
Niu Niu knew that Brother Zhuang was going to the military camp, and she was indescribably disappointed: "I still thought about you coming back, I have support, I didn't expect you to go to the military camp?" it can not be helped. But mainly because Brother Zhuang is here, Niu Niu feels that she has the backbone.
Ning Yuanhang said: "Sister, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
"you say."
Ning Yuanhang said: "If other things are just shoddy, don't go looking for that woman anymore, it's pointless." It's useless except to make yourself half dead. That being the case, why waste time!
hear this,
Niuniu immediately looked at Brother Zhuang and said, "Ah Zhuang, you must not think so. You are the eldest son, and most of the family's property is yours. If you don't fight or grab it, it will all be cheaper in the end. A bastard."
Ning Yuanhang said: "Eldest sister, you don't have to worry about this. It should belong to elder brother, and no one can take it away"
Brother Zhuang also said: "Sister, there's no need to argue with her. From now on, you and your mother will just get along well." It doesn't matter if Tang wants to give them those properties.
Niu Niu hated iron for being weak, but no matter what she said, Brother Zhuang always said the same thing, and she was so angry that she refused to eat dinner that day.
Mama Hua had no choice but to ask Nanny Xie for help.
Seeing Madam Xie, Niu Niu said, "Mommy, grandfather is such a wise person, why did he teach Brother Zhuang to be like a lump of elm?" Money is a good thing, without money, it is difficult to move a single step in this world. And in the future, she will marry a wife and have children. These are all money!
Xie Momo said: "As long as the Eldest Young Master becomes a talent, he will also be able to earn tens of thousands of money in the future. If he can't become a talent, it will be a disaster if he has too much money. Eldest Miss, think carefully about what the Eldest Son told you!"
Niu Niu asked: "Is Tang's so cheap?"
Xie Momo said: "A set of rosewood furniture is only a few hundred taels of silver. The few hundred taels of silver made the young master wary of her, you should be happy."
Niuniu cried and said with a mournful face: "Mommy, Ah Zhuang is completely indifferent to this matter, how could he be on guard!"
The corner of Xie Momo's mouth twitched, and said: "Do you think the young master should go to the uncle to make a fuss like you, so as to take this matter to heart?" When encountering something unsatisfactory, making a fuss is the most stupid way . But Niuniu's temperament has been developed, and she can't break it. Fortunately, I can listen to the persuasion, and I am not married to an official family. Otherwise, with this temperament, he would be cheated to death in minutes.
Niuniu hesitated for a while, and asked, "Nurse, Ah Zhuang is really wary of that woman?"
Xie Momo said: "Young master looks simple and simple, but he is a man with a plan." As for the grandson, although he is young, he is a fine person.
After some days, the dowry jewelry was packed and delivered. This time, they are not shoddy, they are all gold jewelry. But with the make-up gifted by Xiao Shi and Zeng Chenfu in front, Niu Niu thinks these jewelry look ugly.
Within a few days, the purchased cloth and satin arrived. Niuniu saw it and almost exploded again. But this time she didn't go to the Herb Garden, but went directly to Fang Hui.
Pointing to the two boxes on both sides, Niuniu said, "The one on the left is the silk she bought for me, and the one on the right is the makeup that my aunt gave me. Father, you can see for yourself how big the difference is." The silk and satin gifted by Zeng Chenfu , bright colors and rich colors are suitable for young women to wear. Among the silks and satins purchased by Tang's, there are few regular colors, and the gloss is not enough, which looks a bit old-fashioned.
Fang Hui looked at it and said: "The Marquis of Anyang has its own silk and satin shop, and they buy the most fashionable and best materials. The cloth and satin bought in Tongcheng must not compare with the ones she gave. Niuniu, your second mother I have been busy with your marriage for a while, and I was tired and sick in the middle. Niuniu, don't want you to be grateful to her, at least you have to be considerate!"
When Niu Niu heard this, she stared at Fang Hui in a daze.
Fang Hui thought she had listened to his words, and said, "Niuniu, you are going to marry soon. Now that you are married, you have to restrain your temper. If not, you will definitely suffer."
Niuniu came back to her senses and asked, "Father, that day Ah Zhuang asked you to give him money, and he bought me silk jewelry in Beijing, why didn't you agree?"
Fang Hui frowned and said: "How old is your brother, how can he do these things? Besides, he wants to study and practice martial arts, so how can he have time to do these things."
"What about the antique calligraphy and painting? Why don't I have any of them? I heard from the servants in the mansion that when the family was separated, my grandfather gave you 30% of the antique calligraphy and painting."
Fang Hui didn't deny it, but just said: "These will be left to Ah Zhuang and brother in the future." It means that the antique calligraphy and painting are only passed on to sons, not to daughters.
Niu Niu heard the words and said sneeringly: "After Ah Zhuang, can he really inherit these things?"
The conversation between the father and daughter broke up again.
But after this time, Niu Niu didn't make a fuss about the dowry anymore. Fang Hui was very relieved, he felt that what he said last time was useful, and Niuniu began to restrain his temper.
Tang doesn't believe that Niu Niu will change her temper. You said that it is easy to change the country, but it is difficult to change the nature. However, the two people who were placed in the main courtyard did not find anything unusual, so she let it go.
Five days before Niu Niu got married, Brother Zhuang and Ning Yuanhang came back from the military camp.
After staying in the army for more than a month, the two of them were dark and thin, and Ma Shi was so distressed when he saw it that he couldn't help but shed tears.
The day before sending the dowry list, Brother Zhuang gave Niuniu the deeds of the shop and land he bought.
Niuniu saw that her name was on the house deed and field deed, she was very moved and said: "Ah Zhuang, I always thought that my grandfather didn't like me. Unexpectedly, I misunderstood his old man." Buy such a thick dowry.
Brother Zhuang handed her two thousand taels of silver bills and said, "This is what your grandfather added to your makeup. I bought the shop and the two hundred acres of fertile land for you." Two hundred taels of silver. The money is not much, but Niu Niu is not a big spender, it is enough for her daily expenses.
Niuniu's eyes widened in an instant: "Where did you get so much money?"
Brother Zhuang said in a low voice: "When the family was separated, my grandfather was worried that I would be wronged in the future when my father married the Tang family, so he decided to transfer half of the property directly to my name. Now my grandfather is keeping the property for me. After I get married, my grandfather will will hand over the estate to me."
Niuniu was so excited that she almost jumped up, her grandfather was so wise. His father is not strict now, only Tang and those bastards, how can there be their siblings.
After a long time, Niuniu finally calmed down: "Why didn't you tell me and mother about such a big matter?"
"Eldest sister, don't let mother know about this. Also, if the woman asks, you can say that these things were given to you by your grandfather." Yuanhang is right, and you must be on guard against others. Although it is impossible to hide it all the time, it is better not to tell the truth now.
Niuniu was astonished: "You mean, that bitch doesn't know about this?"
"I guess I don't know."
Niu Niu was very happy. This shows that his father doesn't fully trust that bitch anymore.
In fact, Niu Niu thought too much. It's not that Fang Hui doesn't believe Tang, but that he can't say this. How to say? Can he say that Ning Hai doesn't believe him, and thinks that he will favor Tang's child with her in the future and wrong brother Zhuang. He couldn't say such a faceless thing.
Both the shop and the property had to be added to the dowry list, so naturally Tang couldn't hide this matter.
Hearing that these are Ning Hai's additions to Niu Niu's make-up, Tang Shi has no doubts: "This is really a big deal." The shop and the property add up to three or four thousand taels of silver. The dowry she bought for Niuniu was only about six thousand taels.
Shi Cui said: "Grandma, Master Hou is too partial." Master Hou took the young master over to teach him personally, and now the eldest girl is married and gives the shop property as a dowry. On the other hand, my young master and girl have never had a gift since they were young.
Ning Hai valued concubines over concubines, and it was impossible for him to treat Brother Zhuang the same way as Brother Zhuang.
Tang Shi sighed and said: "I have dragged Hegeer down." If she were the main wife, Hegeer would not be looked down upon.
Fang Hui also understood Ning Hai's temperament, since the family was separated, it was impossible to add makeup to Niu Niu so generously. Thinking of the properties Zhuang got, Fang Hui's expression was a little complicated. Finally, he sighed softly.
