Chapter 12 (1/2)

When there are a lot of things in the house, just barely maintain the normal life. Ning Yanting is counting the coming of next month with his fingers in his heart, waiting for his mother to give him pocket money to improve his life.

But after one month, he counted the money every day to give money to a couple of children and two younger brothers. Ning Yanting was also very clear about the details of his expenses. Therefore, he knew more clearly that only by his monthly salary and salary, plus 80 Liang silver given by Ning's mother, compared with his huge expenses, It's just a drop in the bucket. Next month, he still has to pawn his goods.

Before the next month, his heart was full of expectation and anxiety, and he even lost a lot of hair.

Before the end of this month, ningyanwen, the second younger brother, came to the door with a happy face.

”Elder brother, Qing'er has been engaged. She is the son of the Zhou family.” Ning Yan Wen said happily, ”it's the son of Zhou family, the Minister of rites.”

Ning Yanting had heard of it for a long time and was very happy for Ning Qing. Seeing his second brother so happy, he said to him sincerely.

Ningyanwen seems to be really excited, pulling him to chatter for a long time, finally is to say his intention. His face turned from joy to worry. Suddenly he sighed and said, ”Qing'er has been striving for success since childhood. Now she is married to the son of Zhou's family. However, Qing'er is so good, but my father has humiliated her.”

Ning Yanting can't help but wonder: ”second brother, how do you say this?”

”Brother, you know, I've never been as good as you. Now you are the most promising person in our Ning family, and my brother can't catch up with you. Elder brother, you are so powerful. On weekdays, I respect my elder brother very much. But now it's time for Qing'er to get married. Now when I look at elder brother again, I'm envious of him. ” Ningyanwen said, with an envious look at him, and quickly moved away from his eyes, a pair of dare not let him detect his mood appearance.

Ning Yanting's curiosity suddenly raised.

He even said: ”second brother, you can't say so. You've been excellent since you were young. My mother praised you since I was a child. Where can you compare with you? If you don't believe you, ask your mother, are you the best among the three brothers?”

Ningyanwen sighed: ”big brother is joking. If I'm really so powerful, how can I even take out the dowry of Qing'er?”

He said, and a surprise, as if carelessly said something extraordinary, quickly changed his mouth: ”brother, you don't put it in mind, I just speak fast, a moment of wrong words.”

Ning Yanting was more puzzled. He frowned and said, ”second brother, don't hide it from me. What is it that you can't even get Qing'er's dowry? Will our Ning family still lack the dowry of Qing'er? ”

The housekeeper is neither him nor Ning's mother. Therefore, Ning Yanting is not clear about the affairs of the Ning family. However, he also knows that the Ning family has a great career and a beautiful appearance. In any case, he will not be able to take out the dowry of his children.

However, Ning Yanwen sighed again and said: ”Qing'er's dowry can be taken out naturally by the family, but Qing'er is married to the son of Zhou Shilang's family. If the dowry is too small, I'm afraid it will be looked down upon by the Zhou family. Well, I shouldn't worry about it. It's really a joke to my elder brother. But qinger is my only daughter. I've been thinking about it all the time. Since Qing'er's engagement, I've been happy for her, and I've been thinking that if I can be more powerful and as powerful as my elder brother, qinger won't have to be implicated by my useless father. ”

”My mother always likes Qing'er, so she won't treat her badly.” Ning Yan Ting pacified: ”Qing'er married a good family, mother happy, naturally will let her wind scenery light of marriage, you also need not worry about this.”

Ning Yanwen still sighed: ”I understand the truth, but when I think that Qing'er will be looked down upon by others in the future, I feel sorry for her in my heart. If she could have such a powerful father as big brother, she would surely have a better life. My elder brother has been very good since I was a child. If I can't do anything, he can help me do it. I rely too much on him. On the contrary, I let Qing'er suffer. ”

”Second brother, you must not say that.” Ning Yan Ting said in a hurry, ”I'm the first one to refuse to say so. Ning Qing's marriage is a great joy. My mother will help Ning Qing prepare her dowry. Ning Qing was grown up with my third younger brother. As her uncle, I certainly can't bear her being wronged. ”

To achieve today's goal, Ning Yanwen's eyebrows just opened.

He moved to pull ningyanting said a lot of personal words, then Shanshan left.

The younger brother is still as dependent on himself as he was when he was a child. At the thought of being able to help his younger brother again, Ning Yanting's elder brother is mentally troubled and can't be satisfied.

His mood lasted until he went to see Ning's mother.

”No way.” Ning's mother looked at him coldly: ”Ning Qing gets married, what does that have to do with me? Her parents are not dead. When is it my turn to make up for her marriage?”

Ningyanting's eyebrows were deeply wrinkled: ”what can't die? The second younger brother and younger sister are healthy. How can you say such a thing?”

”Since they have nothing, how can they care about you?” Ning mother opened the account book and asked him, ”then I'll ask you, how much silver are you going to give Ning Qing?”Ning Yanting was stunned: ”this...”

He hasn't thought about it yet.
