Tie Kui's Extra Story (164)

As we get older, our body's resistance decreases. Not long after winter, the weather turned cold, and Ning Hai fell ill again.

When you are sick, it is easy to think wildly. No, Ning Hai said to Xiao Shi: "This time, I don't know if it will be good. Cough, I'm afraid I won't see Brother Zhuang get married."

Xiao didn't like to hear his words the most, and said: "The imperial doctor said that as long as you take good care of it, you will be cured soon. You are thinking like this every day, how can this disease be cured?"

Ning Hai frowned and said, "Who knows if he's lying, it's been half a month and he hasn't healed yet." When he was young, he would have been sweating from the cold and practiced swords for a long time.

Hearing Ning Hai talking like this all day long, Xiao Shi was also very worried.

After thinking for a while, Xiao went to Zeng Chenfu and said, "Afu, go to Gao's house to discuss and see if you can arrange Ah Zhuang's marriage in the spring of next year. Maybe the wedding date will be next year. Enough."

Zeng Chenfu said, "Isn't this too urgent?" It's only been four months since I left Chun, so the Gao family may not be willing.

Xiao said: "I'm a little anxious, but isn't this a special situation? I hope the Gao family can understand."

It's about the old man, Zeng Chenfu can't refuse. However, she said to Ning Zhan with a look of embarrassment: "I think Mrs. Gao Er will definitely not agree."

Ning Zhan said: "I will discuss this matter with Master Gao Er." The person in charge of the second room of the Gao family is Master Gao Er, as long as he agrees, the matter will be settled.

On the second day, Ning Zhan posted a message to the senior high school master. Without beating around the bush, Ning Zhan told the story directly.

Ning Zhan said: "The only thing my father is worried about is Brother Zhuang. He has been talking about it a few years ago, worrying that he won't see Brother Zhuang get married. This time he got sick and worried about it again."

The second-year-old master hurriedly asked with concern: "How is the old man's illness? Does it matter?"

Ning Zhan said with a smile: "It's not a serious problem, it's mainly a heart disease. Brother Gao, can you see if you can arrange the marriage of the two children in early spring. The old man is happy and feels at ease. It's okay if the disease is uncertain. "

In order to make the elderly in the family happy and to relieve his heart disease, he hoped to advance the marriage, which was an irresistible reason.

The senior high school master didn't refuse, but said: "There are only four months left before Chun, and the time is too fast, and the wedding dress can't be embroidered well. But if the wedding is scheduled for the second half of next year, it should be in time." His daughter's dowry The preparations are not complete, the wedding is too hasty and insufficiently prepared,

There will definitely be regrets. .

Second Master Gao backed down a step, and Ning Zhan would not be so blank: "Thank you Brother Gao for your compassion, I will ask Qin Tianjian to count the auspicious days for the auspicious day in these two days."

Mrs. Gao Er originally planned to set the wedding date in the next year, and she was very upset when she knew this.

The Second Senior Master said: "Yuan Yu was brought up by the Marquis of Anyang. Now that the old man is sick and wants to advance the marriage, we can't refuse because of love and reason. Otherwise, the Marquis of Anyang has something wrong, and Yuan Yu has a pimple about it. Yuliu is the one who suffers." Ning Yuanyu is Ah Zhuang's name.

"You agree, how can I refuse?" If you do this, where will the face of the head of the family be placed. Furthermore, the senior high school master has the final say on major matters.

Xiao told Ning Hai the good news: "The Gao family agreed to set the wedding date in the second half of next year."

Ning Hai was a little surprised: "The wedding date has been set?" The second wife of the Gao family said that the two children are too young, and the proposed wedding date has not been fixed yet.

Shaking her head, Xiao said: "The wedding date hasn't been set yet, but Ah Zhan personally interceded with the second senior high school master, and they agreed to set the wedding date in the second half of next year. Ah Zhan has already gone to Qin Tianjian to ask them to count it as an auspicious day. In a few days, the wedding date will be fixed."

After finishing speaking, Xiao said: "Ah Zhan is so worried about your illness these days that he can't eat or sleep, so don't think about it and get well soon, so as not to make Ah Zhan worry."

Ning Hai has black lines all over his head, he said this as if he didn't want to recover from his illness.

Qin Tianjian calculated three auspicious days for the zodiac, one at the end of September, one at the beginning of October, and one in December.

Without even thinking about Ning Hai, he chose this day at the end of September. The sooner Ah Zhuang gets married, the sooner he will be at ease.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Ning Hai's illness will be cured within a few days after the wedding date is set.

The wedding date is set, and many things are also put on the agenda. Zeng Chenfu asked: "Father, where will Ah Zhuang's wedding banquet be held?" It is going to be held in the Hou's Mansion, so now we have to start arranging the wedding room.

Even if it doesn't have to be repaired, it should be necessary to paint the walls.

Ning Hai glanced at Zeng Chenfu, this question was too much to ask: "Of course it will be done in the Hou's Mansion."

Zeng Chenfu said: "Father, do you think you should ask your eldest brother about this matter first. After all, he is Ah Zhuang's biological father." She didn't mind letting Brother Zhuang get married in the Hou's mansion, but she felt that Still have to get Fang Hui's consent. Save time, and everyone will be unhappy about this matter.

Speaking of Fang Hui, Ning Hai couldn't help frowning. After returning to Tongcheng last time, Fang Hui would write to him every now and then, but there were very few letters to Brother Zhuang: "It will be done in the Hou's mansion. I will write to him and tell him about it."

Seeing Zeng Chenfu's embarrassed face, Mrs. Xiao said, "Let Ah Zhan write him a letter and tell him what the old man wants. If he disagrees, ask him what the rules are."

"good."

Only when Brother Zhuang came back did he know that his wedding date had been set.

Ning Yuanhang looked at him in a daze, and said with a smile, "Brother, are you so happy?" Ning Zhan wanted Ning Yuanhang to directly take the entrance examination for the pro-barracks, and the assessment for the pro-barracks is in May every year.

Ning Zhan's arrangement for him was to wait until he passed the entrance examination, to stay in the military camp for three years, and then enter the palace as a job for a few years, and then go outside to accumulate qualifications.

It is much more difficult to take the test in the Biqianwei Battalion, so Ning Yuanhang has been exhausted recently.

Brother Zhuang came back to his senses and said, "I just feel very surprised, I thought the wedding date would be set in the next year!"

"Grandfather said every day that he was afraid that he would not see you get married, so father went to ask the Gao family, and they agreed to advance the wedding date." Ning Yuanhang said: "For these two days, you should spend more time with him at home. Old man!"

Needless to say, Ning Yuanhang didn't plan to go out either.

A few days later, Ning Zhan's letter arrived in Fang Hui's hands. After reading the letter, Fang Hui immediately wrote back the letter, saying that he agreed to let Brother Zhuang meet his relatives in the Anyang Hou Mansion.

Tang knew that he was shocked, but he didn't expect the old man to love the young master so much. And Shizi and Shizi's wife also condoned the old man to do this: "Husband, you and Shizi have separated. Let Brother Zhuang greet you in the Hou's mansion, what will others think of you then?"

Fang Hui smiled wryly and said: "Father is getting old, since he wants brother Zhuang to greet his relatives in the Hou's mansion, he will go along with him to make him happy. As for what others say, there will be no loss of meat anyway. Let them talk!"

Ning Zhan said in the letter that Ning Hai was ill some time ago, and he kept talking about that he would not live long enough to see Brother Zhuang. For this reason, he specially approached the second master of the Gao family, and asked the other party to let go and advance the wedding date to September next year. When the old man is happy, he will recover from his illness.

Although Ning Zhan didn't say it clearly in the letter, Fang Hui understood what he meant, and now everything should be based on the old man's wishes.

Ning Hai taught him carefully for several years, and devoted much more time and energy to him than Ning Zhan. It turned out that Ning Zhan was Cheng Huan's knee, and he didn't spend a day of filial piety except to make the old man worry about him. Now, what does he want to be like the old man again!

Tang tentatively said: "Master, it's not like we don't have a house in the capital. Besides, let the eldest and young master greet the relatives in the Hou's mansion, is it possible that the eldest and young master will also live in the Hou's mansion after getting married?"

Fang Hui hummed and said: "After Ah Zhuang gets married, the young couple will definitely live in the Hou Mansion." With Ning Hai's love for Brother Zhuang, he will definitely not let Brother Zhuang move out of the Hou Mansion. And he also wanted Brother Zhuang to stay in front of Ning Hai and do his filial piety for him.

Tang is very smart and knows that it is pointless to dwell on this topic: "Husband, have you mentioned the matter of being transferred back to the capital?" It doesn't make sense.

Fang Hui shook his head and said, "No." His father has long since ignored the business, and it is useless to find him. But he couldn't speak to Ning Zhan.

Tang was a little anxious: "Husband, we really can't delay any longer. Besides, Sissy has been clamoring to go to the capital to study. For the sake of the children's future, we have to go back to Beijing earlier."

Fang Hui said, "Let's talk about this matter when I return to Beijing!"

To return to Beijing, there must be a suitable vacancy. If you don't make plans early, you may not be able to return to Beijing within two years. But Tang also knew Fang Hui's temperament, and knew that it was useless to continue talking. But she asked Brother He and Sissy to come forward to complain to Fang Hui, saying that the teachers here are not good with the school.

Once or twice, Fang Hui could still stretch himself, but after more times, he became softer. For the sake of his children's future, Fang Hui finally put down his face and wrote a letter to Ning Zhan.

This is not a trivial matter, Ning Zhan directly asked Ning Hai: "Father, elder brother said he wants to be transferred back to the capital. Father, how do I reply to him?" Ning Hai gave Ning Zhan all his network resources.

"The capital is where he can come back if he wants?" In the last battle, Fang Hui was promoted to a level by virtue of his military exploits, and now he is the capital of the fourth rank.

Whether it is a civil servant or a military officer, this official position has always been a carrot and a pit. If you want to go back to Beijing, you have to wait for a suitable vacancy.

Ning Zhan said: "If Dad wants Eldest Brother to come back, then when there is a suitable vacancy, I will help Elder Brother take care of it."

Ning Hai said without even thinking about it: "It's really meaningless to stay in Tongcheng. But don't let him go back to Beijing. With his muddled temper and a restless Tang family, who knows what will happen when he returns to Beijing. I don't have many days, I just want to live in An An, and I don't want to be troubled by them anymore." From a distance, he can't see it, if he is right in front of his eyes, he will never have an An An life.

"I see." In fact, he was not very willing to let Fang Hui stay in the capital. As the prince grows up, there are some signs of taking exams, and the capital may not be peaceful in a few years. But Fang Hui is not firm in his will and has no principles in his actions. Coupled with Tang's short-sightedness, if there is a prince competing for the crown prince, he will most likely stand in line.

Competing for reserves should never be done unless it is absolutely necessary. Because of failure, it is beyond redemption.
