Chapter 16 (1/2)

He gave his son pocket money again. After he had left, Ning Yanting ordered his only silver and sighed.

In addition to subsidizing his two younger brothers and buying things for his children, he has recently had a new worry about how to raise a dowry for Ningqing.

He should not worry about this, but he has promised Ning Yanwen. He has always been a man who does what he says. Even though his wife has taught him a lesson, he still thinks about it.

It's just that the dowry is not an ordinary trinket. If he can take it out, it's not a common thing to ask Ning Yanwen to come to him. If you have the support of his wife, you can easily take it out with her great wealth, but those are ah Nuan's

At the thought of his daughter, Ning Yanting has some bitterness in his heart.

Of course, he also listened to what his wife said.

It is because of this that he can not help but think of ah Nuan and the words his wife said to him when he saw the jubilant appearance of his wife's marriage for Ning Qing.

If it wasn't for Ning Qing, a Nuan's reputation would not be bad. A Nuan is a few months older than Ning Qing. She is the eldest daughter of Ning family, and her conditions are even better than Ning Qing. If a Nuan's reputation is not bad, she will marry better than Ning Qing. But now

Ning Yanting sighed in his heart.

Now, none of the people who have come to propose a marriage can satisfy him. How can he marry a man like that? Even he didn't look down on him. Ah Nuan was always arrogant. How could he look up to him?

Although he also loves his niece, but after all, his daughter is his own. Thinking of his daughter's future being returned by Ning Qing, he still has to find a way to prepare for Ning Qing's dowry. Ning Yanting is not comfortable in his heart.

But he has promised Ning Yanwen, this promised good things, there is no regret. He could only apologize to a'nuan in his heart, thinking that he would make more compensation for her in the future. Soon, he began to worry about how to raise the huge dowry.

Ning Yanting thought about things in his heart, until a servant girl knocked on the door outside, he finally came back to God.

”Master, I'm calling for you.”

Hearing that the old woman had something to call him, Ning Yanting stood up in a hurry. He answered and went outside in a hurry. He followed the servant girl to the old lady's yard. He stepped into the door and wandered around the room. Seeing no one else was there, he took a long breath and relaxed completely.

I don't know why, he was afraid that his brother would appear here.

Ningyanting raised a smiling face and walked toward the old lady: ”Niang, I heard you called me?”

”Sit down.” The old lady pointed to the position next to it.

When he sat down, the old man said, ”Qing'er has made a marriage, and you already know it. What she is going to marry is the son of Zhou's family, a servant of the Ministry of rites. You know what kind of family the Zhou family is. It's a very rare condition.”

”Of course I know that.” Ningyanting full of joy said: ”I have congratulated the second younger brother, Ning Qing can find such a good family, of which the mother must have made a lot of efforts.”

”The old lady's face shows a smile:” is also fine son outstanding, can let Zhou Gongzi take a fancy to. ”

Ning Yanting nodded: ”that's nature.”

”Qing'er is going to get married. Do you want to show something as well The old man said: ”we Ning family, she is still the first daughter to marry, married to the Zhou family, but absolutely can't treat her badly. If Qing'er Fengguang is married, the remaining girls can find a good family.”

Ning Yanting then nodded: ”the son knows that the mother will not treat Ning Qing badly. The family affairs are all in the charge of the mother. Everything is up to the mother.”

Listening to him, the old lady looked at him, and then quickly moved away from her eyes.

On weekdays, the eldest son always looks at his face. Today, she says so clearly. How can she not understand her meaning?

Ning Yanting did not understand, she can only point out: ”on weekdays, your second brother also helped you a lot, now he has difficulties, you can help, also should extend your hand to help him. I always ask your brothers to help each other on weekdays. Don't you forget? ”

Rather Yan ting a fluster, hastily way: ”son certainly did not forget.”

He paused and wondered, ”what's the trouble with the second brother? Did you come directly to your mother? ”

”It's not qinger's business yet.”

”Ning Qing? Didn't she just give her permission? It's still the Zhou family. When the second younger brother is most happy, how can he have trouble? ”

The old lady accentuated her voice and said, ”we only have the highest official position in our family. Although Yan Wen is striving for success, his salary is lower than that of you, and he supports so many people. In terms of money, he is somewhat incompetent...”

Ning Yanting understood.

This is to ask him to help prepare Ning Qing's dowry.

Ning Yanting nodded his head and said, ”mother, don't worry. The second younger brother has already told me about it. Both my third brother and I are Ning Qing's uncles, and we will naturally give her face.”The old lady was even more cautious: ”the third brother's salary is lower, and he has to support so many people. Why don't you give him more consideration? On weekdays, your two brothers have helped you a lot. Now that they are in trouble, do you just leave it alone? ”

”Mother, what are you talking about? Do I look like that? The second brother and the third brother are good. I always remember that on weekdays, they have any needs, and I have promised them as much as possible. How can I get to your mouth? I am such a cold-blooded person? ” Ning felt aggrieved.

Recently, his life is getting worse and worse. His two younger brothers and he are the happiest when they reach out, and his wife has cut off his economy. Although he is going out now, outsiders still think that he is the life officer of the imperial court and the head of Ning family, but only he knows that everything in his house is regarded as almost the same. Finally, most of the money was put into the pockets of his two brothers.

If it is said that he is most sorry for who, also did not apologize to the two younger brothers.

Can suddenly be his most respected mother such accusations, Ning Yan Ting only feel in the heart than eat Huanglian also bitter.

The old woman looked at him and said softly, ”I know that you are the most filial. Do you remember that when you were a child, you fell into the lake in the cold winter. It was Yanwen who jumped into the lake to save you. He was shorter than you at that time, and finally had a high fever, which was more dangerous. He tried his best to save you. Although you are brothers, you should remember this kindness

”I remember, of course I do.”

”My mother doesn't want to force you. You are brothers. If you don't support each other, who can help you? Isn't it? ”

Ningyanting deeply felt the same and nodded.

Over the years, he has been remembering the kindness of his second brother, and he has not forgotten it. He has also been thinking about his brother's need to support each other, so that he can have such a good relationship with his two younger brothers. Their three brothers of Ning family have strong feelings, and they are the strong backing of others. If there is anything, it must be everyone's concerted efforts, so the Ning family is growing stronger and stronger.

The old lady just showed a smile: ”Yan Wen is not willing to tell you, but the mother sees in the eye, also feel distressed. As you know, although Yan Wen is striving for success, there are some things that are not as good as you. If it wasn't for saving you that he fell ill, and later he gave up his husband to you. He has always been smart, and he may have been higher than you now, and he will never be in delay now. ”

Ning Yanting's eyes are full of tears.

Yes, my second younger brother has always been excellent. Since I was a child, he has been praised by his mother everywhere. In comparison, although he is better at school, it is also because he has a good teacher. If he is also taught by his husband, he will be much better than he is now.

It was he who delayed his brother!

”Mother, you can take it easy. My second brother is very kind to me. How can I forget these things? Don't worry too much. The second younger brother told me about Ningqing's dowry. As you often say, everything I have now is given to me by my second younger brother. If my second younger brother has difficulties, I will help him. I will certainly care about Ningqing. ”

Although the words did not die, but linked to his previous actions, the old lady's face also showed satisfaction.

”In that case, there is one more thing I want to tell you.”

”Mother, say it.”

”Before Qing'er's engagement, Jiang Yunlan made a scene in her yard and took away all her jewelry. Do you remember that?”

Ningyanting expression a stiff, hesitant nodded: ”Niang, did not take all, Yunlan and I said, she only took half.”

The old lady frowned: ”if it had been before, it would have passed in the past, but now Qing'er's identity is not the same. She will marry to the Zhou family in the future. If she doesn't have any good jewelry on her head, isn't it a joke to let people see it?”

”Mother, do you mean...”

”In the final analysis, this is also caused by Jiang Yunlan. If you ask her to return the jewelry, you can make up for it. When Qing'er is relieved, she will naturally forgive you.”

”This...” Ning Yanting hesitated and always felt that something was wrong.

”What? Can't you? ”

”No, mother, I don't mean that, just...” Ning Yanting stammered: ”it's just that Yunlan has sold all those jewelry...”

Even if I want to return it, I still can't come out.

The old lady widened her eyes: ”what?! How dare she? ”

Ning Yanting, I dare not say a word.

The old lady's chest heaved violently. Then she said angrily, ”those are Qing'er's jewelry. She, as a big aunt, would like to take them away and sell them. Where would we rather be sorry for her? She did such a thing?”

Ningyanting even busy way: ”Niang, you eliminate the spirit, I will go back to say with her.”

”You?” The old lady squinted at him and said, ”do you dare to say a heavy word in front of her?”

Ning Yanting:

”Well, since she has sold them, there is no way.” The old lady calmed her breath and said faintly, ”it's just that Qing'er will marry the Zhou family in the future, which represents our Ning family. If she doesn't carry any valuable jewelry on her head, she wants to make people laugh. Although those jewelry are sold, Qing'er can't get married empty on her head, don't you”My mother said so.”

”Since this is caused by Jiang Yunlan, she has to return Qing'er's jewelry. If she sells it, she can buy it back. When Qing'er gets married, she can't be wronged.”

Ning Yanting opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the old lady's eyes suddenly let him forget what he wanted to say, so he only nodded and agreed.
