Tie Kui's Extra Story (161)

As soon as Ning Hai's 70th birthday was over, Fang Hui was going to take his brother and sister back home.

Unexpectedly, Qianqian didn't want to go back, she took Fang Hui's arm and said, "Father, can I stay in the capital?"

"Why?"

Sissy thought for a while and said, "Father, I want to stay in the capital to study." During this time, she found that Sister Huan knew a lot. And those things were things she had only heard of but never touched before.

After getting in touch with girls of the same age, Cici finally believed what Tang said that the teaching conditions in Beijing were more than ten times better than those in Tongcheng. So, she wanted to stay here to study.

Fang Hui said: "Not now, it will take two years." It is a good thing for her daughter to make progress, but it is not possible now.

Qianqian hesitated and asked: "Then, can I live in the Anyang Marquis's Mansion?" She quite likes her cousin, Sister Huan.

Fang Hui's heart was blocked, but he still said: "Father and your second uncle have separated, you can't live in the Hou Mansion anymore."

Qianqian didn't understand, and asked, "Then why can elder brother rent it in the Anyang Marquis Mansion?"

He Ge'er interjected, "That's because grandfather likes eldest brother and doesn't like us." The grandfather's attitude obviously regarded eldest brother as a treasure and treated them as grass.

Thinking of this, Brother He couldn't help clenching his fists. He must let those who look down on him know that he is more promising than Ning Yuanyu.

Sissy was very sad when she heard this.

Fang Hui couldn't see his daughter like this, and comforted him: "Grandfather doesn't dislike you, but he is too old to take care of you. Well, you pack up your things quickly, and we will go back the day after tomorrow."

Brother Zhuang sent them out of the city, and sat on horseback at the gate of the city without saying a word.

Fang Hui looked at him like this, and felt indescribably sad: "Ah Zhuang, write to me if you have anything to do."

Brother Zhuang nodded and said, "Okay."

Sissy asked very unhappy: "Why can eldest sister stay, we must go back to Tongcheng now?" She has been in the capital for so long, and she hasn't visited yet. Those are delicious and fun, and I have never experienced them myself.

Brother He said: "We will return to Beijing in two years, and I will accompany you wherever you want to go."

The look on Sissy's face,

That's better.

Lu Fei and Gao Rushan heard that Yuxi gave Ning Hai a calligraphy, and they met to appreciate the calligraphy together.

It is said to be a reward, but it is actually an excuse for everyone to get together. They have many children and grandchildren at this age, and most of them are very filial, but after all, they still have common topics with their peers.

After looking at it for a long time, Lu Fei said: "The queen mother's writing is really flamboyant." As for saying this character is good, he really doesn't know what is so good about it.

Gao Rushan smiled and said, "How about we also ask the Queen Mother to give me a calligraphy painting to hang in the study."

Lu Fei thanked Bumin: "Let's forget it! If you are rejected, it would be shameless." I would rather have gold, silver and jewelry than this ghostly talisman, because I can't appreciate it.

The three of them chatted together, and couldn't help talking about their children and grandchildren. Gao Rushan asked: "I heard that your eldest grandson will take the entrance examination for Qianwei Camp next year, are you sure?"

"Without accidents, I should be able to pass the exam." Brother Zhuang began to practice basic skills at the age of four, and his foundation was very solid. It's no problem to test the Qianwei camp, but if you rely on the pro-barracks, it's a bit hanging.

Lu Fei smiled and said, "The children in your family can endure hardships and stand hard work. Unlike the few below my family, who can't endure a little hardship." The first grandson and second grandson are both pretty good, and he looks down on the other four grandchildren.

Gao Rushan thought about it, and asked, "I heard that your daughter-in-law was looking after Mrs. Ah Zhuang two years ago? Whose girl are you looking for?"

Ning Hai shook his head and said, "If you've already met, I won't worry about it."

Every family has a lot of bad things, and so does his family. However, Lu Fei didn't care. As long as the eldest grandson and the second grandson are promising, the next few grandchildren will tell him that he can't see it for nothing: "The children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so what to worry about so much."

Ning Hai said: "I'm afraid that if I kick my legs, his father will randomly marry him a wife in the future. Marrying a wife is not a disaster for three generations. I don't want Ah Zhuang to be a disaster for him. If so, I will not be at peace when I die! So I wanted to get engaged to him quickly, and it would be best to let him marry his wife before closing my eyes."

Hearing this, Lu Fei patted Gao Rushan on the back and said, "I remember that your second child has two daughters. Are you married? If you don't, let's marry Lao Ning!" There is no girl of the right age with Ah Zhuang, if not, I will recommend my own.

Gao Rushan said: "The two children didn't talk about others. Ah Zhuang is a good boy, but his father is so confused, my daughter-in-law is afraid that he will not like it." He really likes brother Zhuang, but the granddaughter's marriage still depends on her parents. call the shots.

Ning Hai didn't know the temperament of Gao Rushan's two granddaughters, so he couldn't say much: "For things like marriage, we have to let nature take its course."

That is to say, after the two returned, Ning Hai called Zeng Chenfu over: "You have seen the two girls from Uncle Yongyi's second room?"

Bo Yongyi is as tall as a mountain, and his two sons both hold important positions in the army and are quite promising. The only daughter was married to Prince Rui, speaking of which, the two families were also close relatives.

For the sake of Brother Zhuang, Zeng Chenfu had a thorough understanding of meritorious service and the age-appropriate girls from the general's family and Brother Zhuang's family over the past year: "I have. Dad, the third girl of the Gao family is fifteen years old this year, and the fourth girl is only ten years old. .” As for the two girls in the Gao family’s eldest house, they are already married.

"How is this girl's character?"

Zeng Chenfu said with a smile: "I heard that this girl is impatient and very aggressive. By the way, she seems to say she is very strong." She wanted to find a gentle and virtuous wife for Brother Zhuang, so this girl was not in her consideration within.

"Have you studied yet?"

Zeng Chenfu nodded and said, "I studied in the Beijing Girls' School, and I heard that I did well."

"How is the character? How is the ability to manage the family?" This is the most important thing.

Zeng Chenfu smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with character and housekeeping. Dad, but I'm afraid Brother Zhuang won't be able to keep this girl down!"

Ning Hai said: "It's painful for a daughter-in-law to come back from marriage, and it's not about comparing herself with others. As long as she has good conduct and manages the house, it's fine. As for her being strong-tempered, these are not a problem. Ruhui didn't worry about it before. I told her Even a mother can't control her. But look, after she marries Ran Xi, she can only be harmonious and beautiful? I believe that as long as Ah Zhuang treats her well, she will naturally treat Brother Zhuang wholeheartedly." It doesn't matter if you have a bad temper, Just be smart and capable. Don't be like Ma Shi, who is just stupid and doesn't have self-knowledge.

Zeng Chenfu still didn't quite agree with this matter, but she couldn't refute Ning Hai, so she could only say: "Father, the daughter-in-law is what Ah Zhuang wants to marry, and she will spend the rest of her life with him. We also have to ask Ah Zhuang about this matter." Opinion." Therefore, it is still up to his preference.

This made sense, Ning Hai immediately sent someone to call Brother Zhuang.

Ah Zhuang just said: "I listen to my grandfather."

"Ah Zhuang, this is a lifelong event, so don't be careless." After finishing speaking, Zeng Chenfu asked, "Tell auntie, what kind of girl do you like?"

After asking half a sentence, Brother Zhuang only said a word, he listened to his grandfather. Zeng Chenfu had no choice but to call Ning Yuanhang to ask: "You stay with Ah Zhuang every day, you should know what kind of girl Ah Zhuang likes?" If you don't know, let Ning Yuanhang ask.

The two have talked about this topic before. Ning Yuanhang said: "Brother likes strong and capable girls, and doesn't like to cry." Good character is basic, there is no need to say it.

"anything else?"

Ning Yuanhang smiled and said: "No more. Of course, it would be better if she is beautiful."

Zeng Chenfu rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are also fourteen, and it will be your turn when Brother Zhuang's marriage is finalized. Tell mother, what do you like?"

Ning Yuanhang smiled and said: "Both talented and beautiful, gentle and virtuous, able to manage the family and manage the board."

Zeng Chenfu laughed and said, "You have quite a lot to ask for." In fact, she also asked the same for her daughter-in-law. With Ning Yuanhang's status and conditions, it is not difficult to marry such a girl.

After discussing with Ning Zhan, Zeng Chenfu found an opportunity to speak to the second wife of the Gao family. It is necessary for the elders to come forward. If one fails, it will affect the friendship of the elders. It doesn't matter if their peers say this, even if it fails.

Due to the friendship between the two families, the second wife of the Gao family did not refuse, but only said that she would discuss with her husband.

In the end, when her husband Gao Hairan heard about this, he said: "A few days ago, Dad also told me that the eldest young master of the Ning family can endure hardships and has a good temperament. He matches Yuliu very well."

After finishing speaking, Gao Hairan hurriedly said again: "Father just thinks this child is good, so he mentioned this to me. I still have to decide the marriage of Yuliu and the others."

Mrs. Gao Er laughed and said, "Am I so narrow-minded?" The old man didn't interfere in the life-long affairs of his grandsons, let alone his granddaughter's marriage.

"If that child is really nice, this relationship can also be married."

Mrs. Gao Er shook her head and said, "No matter how good the child is, this marriage can't be married. You think Ning Fanghui favors the concubine, but the concubine has the final say in this inner house. Yuliu married, and he should not be angry."

Gao Hairan felt that his wife was thinking too much: "Even if Ning Fanghui favors the concubine, she is still a concubine. With the laws of the country and family rules, she can still surpass the eldest daughter-in-law. Besides, we Yuliu's temperament is not a submissive one. Daughter-in-law The reason why Dad told me this is because Ning Yuanyu is sincere and generous." His daughter Yuliu has a hot temper, which perfectly complements Ning Yuanyu's temperament.

Mrs. Gao Er still disagreed: "Ning Fanghui is partial to the concubine's room. The concubine's room has two sons and one daughter. How much property do you think Ning Yuanyu will get in the future?" These are all matters of personal interest.

A man's thinking is different from a woman's: "Anyang Hou Shizi regards this child as his own son, and he will definitely take care of him in the future. I believe this child's future is not bad. But as long as he has the ability, he is afraid that he will not be able to earn a fortune in the future. "

That being said, Mrs. Gao Er is still not happy to make this marriage: "Yu Liu is still young, let's talk about it in two years!"

Seeing that she was really not happy, Gao Hairan didn't force it: "Even if you don't want to, don't ruin the friendship between the two families."

Mrs. Gao Er gave him a blank look, and said, "It's up to you to say that."
