Chapter 2222 (1/2)
In mid May, Xiao and Ninghai returned to Beijing. Ninghai is very happy to see two grandchildren.
Xiao's face is distressed: ”black, also thin.” Even if the food is delicious and delicious for more than half a month, the two brothers haven't recovered their appearance before leaving Beijing.
”This proves that they are really suffering,” Ninghai said If he comes back, he will be punished.
On this day, the whole family gathered for dinner.
After supper, Zhuang Ge'er said one thing to Ninghai: ”Grandpa, elder sister is engaged.”
Ninghai knew this, and nodded: ”your father wrote to me, and said that the wedding date is next December.”
”Grandpa, I want to buy some silk jewelry for my elder sister. The silk, satin and jewelry on the other side of Tongcheng are not only expensive, but also ugly. ” Ningyuanhang didn't say that he didn't pay attention. But when he said that, he was firm. These silk and satin jewelry must be bought in the capital. If his father doesn't give him money, he will buy them himself.
Ninghai heard the meaning of his words and asked, ”how much is it?” In the right way, he will give.
After thinking about it, Zhuang said, ”five thousand Liang!”
Ninghai is rich and Fang Hui's industry is worth more than 300000 Liang. Zhuang Ge'er's income is also good industry, and the annual rent alone is more than 5000 Liang. With five thousand liang of silver, Ninghai will buy some dowry for Niuniu. Naturally, Ninghai is not against
”it's better to buy some industries than to buy those flashy things.” Jewelry is also for people to see, can't eat can't wear. After buying the industry, there will be interest every year, which is the real benefit.
”Grandfather, what do you suggest?”
Ninghai said, ”Liu Gen is all from Shengjing, so I will buy two shops in Shengjing to make nuniu a dowry.” It's cheaper to send a shop than jewelry, silk and satin.
After all, Liu Genquan will return to Shengjing sooner or later. Buying property there is the most comprehensive.
Brother Zhuang looks at Ninghai. The idea is very good, but he can't do it!
Ninghai said jokingly, ”I'll send someone to Shengjing to have a look and buy some when I meet the right shops and farm produce.”
Zhuang Ge'er is very happy: ”Grandpa, jewelry and satin are still to be bought.”
Ning Hai said with a smile, ”let your grandmother and aunt take care of these things.”
The wife and daughter-in-law have a lot of jewelry. Take out two sets of make-up for Niuniu, it's very decent. As for silk and satin, we have opened a silk and satin shop, which needs buying.
Zhuang Ge'er thinks that this is taking advantage of Xiao and Zeng Chenfu.
Ninghai jokingly said: ”it's a custom to take advantage of anything. Girls should add makeup when they marry their elders. Those things are your grandmother and aunt's makeup for Niu Niu. ”
”Then I have to take the place of elder sister. Thank you grandma and aunt very much.”
Zeng Chenfu was not a mean person either. The next day she was ordered by Ninghai, she went to the shop and picked five red ones, embroidered with jade hall rich or pomegranate and other meaningful silks. Then I picked a red satin from my warehouse.
I'd rather sail in and see the materials on the table. Needless to ask, he knew that these were for Niu Niu: ”Niang, you picked these satins to celebrate.”
”It's natural to use red for marriage. Can you use pink? ” A very fastidious family, the bride will wear new clothes every day of the first month of marriage. Moreover, all the clothes must be made of red materials.
Ning Yuanhang smiled, and then said: ”Niang, the elder sister in the lobby is very good. It's just that she can't do anything with a servant girl. ”
Put down the color line, Zeng Chenfu asked, ”what's the matter?” If it's said that Niu Niu can't do Tang's job, she won't ask more. It's not right to be a servant girl.
After talking about their first visit to Ning's mansion, Ning Yuanhang said angrily, ”it's nothing to do with me that my uncle dotes on that woman, but he asked me and my brother to eat in that woman's yard, which is too much. What does he think of me and big brother? ” This is clearly to belittle him and elder brother, and elevate Tang.
Zeng Chenfu was speechless for a long time, and said, ”your uncle is raised by his aunt. He doesn't think there is any legitimate division in his eyes. Hang'er, don't tell your grandparents about it. They will be very angry if they know it. ”
”I know.” He knew what to say and what not to say.
In the evening, Zeng Chenfu and Ning Zhan said this: ”big brother looks like this, and then the strong brother will definitely accept the grievance.”
Ning Zhan also couldn't help frowning: ”that Tang Shi, at the beginning looked very good.” But did not expect, unexpectedly allows nearby servant girl to bully Di eldest daughter..
”Don't you see what happened then? Ning family was willing to marry her at that time to help her out of the fire pit. But now there are children and women, and the eldest brother likes her, so naturally, this heart will grow. ” These, completely in their own anticipation. Once the woman has children, she plans for them. We can't say wrong, we can only take different positions.
Ning Zhan didn't want to comment on Fang Hui's family affairs: ”in the future, we will do more according to Buddha Zhuang.” As for Niu Niu, there's nothing to worry about since she's about to get married.
