Tie Kui Extra Story (68)
When Ruyi gets married, all the invited guests come. The forty-eight tables opened were all full.
After sending Ruyi out of the door, Xiao cried and leaned on Ning Hai. Even Ruhui was tearful.
Seeing Xiao's heartbroken like this, Chunni couldn't help but shed tears. It's not good to have a daughter. When you grow up, you have to go to someone else's house.
In the afternoon of that day, Duan Honglang approached Chunni and asked her to come forward and beg Ning Hai to find him a job in the capital.
Chun Ni shook her head and said, "You can tell your uncle yourself about this matter."
If Ning Hai is willing to come forward, there is no need to look for Chun Ni. Duan Honglang pleaded: "Mother, they all look down on me, don't they even look down on me? Mother, I'm just looking for an errand in the yamen, not a big official. Mother, this is not good for uncle. Difficult."
Chunni was reluctant at first, but Duan Honglang couldn't stop begging her. In the end, motherly love prevailed.
Seeing that Ning Hai was at home, Chun Ni avoided Tie Hu and told him about it: "I know it's a bit embarrassing, but Hong Lang also wants to make progress. Kui Zi, just help me!"
Ning Hai was a little surprised: "Second Sister, I told Hong Lang that if he wants, I can arrange for him to be checked by a scribe in Tongcheng. Didn't he tell you about this?"
Chunni nodded and said: "He said it. It's just that the environment in Tongcheng is too bad, he can bear a few children but he can't bear it."
Ning Hai still refused. The reason for the refusal remained the same, only that he didn't know anyone in the capital, so there was no way to arrange this matter.
Seeing this, Chunni no longer insisted.
Duan Honglang didn't believe this reason at all, and said: "Mother, look at the guests who came on the day my cousin got married two days ago, all of them were either rich or expensive. I heard that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of the Ministry of War came to drink the wedding in person. Mother, It's not that he can't find me an errand, but he has no intention of helping me at all."
Chunni's heart turned cold when she heard this, and she asked incredulously, "Are you blaming your uncle?" If Ning Hai ignored him, he wouldn't say that he was looking for a job for him in the army.
"Mother, if it wasn't for my grandfather, he would have died a long time ago. But now, even asking him to find a job for me is always pushing back and forth. Mother, why are you protecting such an ungrateful person?" Ning Hai made it clear that he didn't want to give him Arrange errands.
Chunni was so angry that she slapped Duan Honglang on the face: "Remember, your uncle doesn't owe us anything. On the contrary, our Tie family has received too much favor from him." Without Kuizi, how would she have a good life now? Most likely dead early.
Duan Honglang left the room with red eyes.
When Duan Dongzi entered the room, he saw Chunni sitting on the bed crying alone. At that moment, Duan Dongzi asked with a dark face, "What did Hong Lang say?" Chunni had a strong temper, and she never cried about even the most difficult things.
Chunni wiped her tears and told what happened: "The head of the family, this child is completely hopeless." The mother always has expectations for the child, but this time Duan Honglang completely chilled her.
Duan Dongzi sighed, held Chunni's hand and said, "He has a house and a shop, and his family of five has enough food and clothing. Don't worry about him in the future, let alone subsidize him secretly." He didn't have much money, but he saved all the precious jewelry that Tie Kui sent home before.
Duan Honglang tells Wei Shi that he needs money to open a shop, and Chunni secretly gives two pieces of precious jewelry. This matter was hidden from Tie Hu, Fu Shi and others, but Duan Dongzi couldn't be hidden from it.
Fearing that Chunni would be soft-hearted again, Duan Dongzi said: "Chunni, Hongbo is capable of doing things now that his eldest daughter-in-law has eaten public meals. We don't need to worry about their husband and wife. But Honglin is not married yet! We have to leave something for him."
Chunni nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
That night Chunni told Tiehu that she wanted to go home, but she really didn't have the face to stay.
Tiehu also missed his two great-grandchildren, and said during breakfast the next day, "Kuizi, we plan to go back in two days."
Ning Hai nodded and said: "Okay, I will go with you then." He still has half a month's leave, which is long enough to escort them home.
Xiao Shi swallowed the words that came to his lips.
In the evening, Xiao Shi said with a smile: "I wanted to spend more time in the capital with my father-in-law and my second sister, but I didn't expect you to get it faster than me."
Ning Hai had no intention of telling Xiao about things about the Tie family: "There are fields and a shop at home, and there is no one to take care of the children, how can the second sister stay for a long time?"
Xiao Shi agreed with this statement.
Ning hesitated, and hoped that she could go to Tongcheng with Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi was stunned.
Seeing that there was no sound for a long time, Ning Hai said, "The environment in Tongcheng is too bad. If you don't want to go, forget it." When Mrs. Xiao went to Tongcheng, he didn't have to stay in the barracks all day like a bachelor. .
As people grow older, people are particularly afraid of being alone. It's nothing when I'm busy, but I always feel empty in the room when I'm free. Especially at night, when I can't sleep, I toss and turn in bed, which is very uncomfortable. If Xiao Shi was by his side, he would be able to accompany him even if he didn't say that food and clothing would be taken care of. Of course, Xiao Shi didn't want to and he didn't force it.
Xiao is a woman who regards her husband as the sky, and she would not refuse when Ning Hai asked, but said: "Master, I'm not afraid of the harsh environment in Tongcheng. It's just that Ruhui's marriage has been settled, but Ah Zhan hasn't been found yet. Wait Ah Zhan's marriage is settled, I'll go to Tongcheng again!"
Hearing that Mrs. Xiao was willing to go to Tongcheng, Ning Hai immediately felt better: "We don't need to worry about Ah Zhan's marriage. The emperor and queen will propose marriage to him."
It is an honor to be married by the emperor and the queen. But Xiao Shi said in disbelief: "The Queen is so busy, does she have time to show Ning Zhan the girl?"
"Don't worry, the queen will definitely choose a daughter-in-law for Ah Zhan who is both talented and good-looking and can manage the family." From Xiao's eyes, Ning Hai really couldn't believe it. Take a look at the families that Ruyi and Ruhui sisters are looking at. Let the Xiao family find a wife for Ning Zhan, rather than asking Yuxi to ask her to find a good wife for Ning Zhan.
Both Ruhui and Ruyi's marriages have gone through twists and turns, which makes Xiao Shi feel a little embarrassed. Now that she entrusted her son's marriage to the queen, she was secretly relieved.
Xiao said: "Master, I have to make arrangements for the family affairs before I can go to Tongcheng."
Xiao came to Tongcheng to accompany him, and Ning Hai was very satisfied: "Don't worry, it's still cold over there now, and the road is not easy to walk. I'll send someone to pick you up in April."
On the second day, Ning Hai entered the palace and Yun Qing told Yuxi about returning to Tongcheng. Then, she also entrusted Ning Zhan's marriage to Yuxi.
Yuxi didn't refuse either, but just smiled and said: "Uncle, don't complain that the wife I found for Ning Zhan is not good."
If Ning Hai was worried, he would not have specifically mentioned this matter: "Your Majesty's eyes, I don't worry." As long as Yuxi is willing to put her mind to it, she will definitely find a good wife for Ning Zhan.
"That's fine, I'll help Ah Zhan pay attention." Ning Zhan is still young, so there is no rush.
Ruyi returns home with a cart full of gifts.
Looking at her shy appearance, she knew that she had a good time at Peng's house these few days.
Ruhui asked: "Sister, I heard that many families will set rules for the bride. Sister, Mrs. Gong Changhou didn't set rules for you, did she?" Setting rules is completely a way for a mother-in-law to torment her daughter-in-law.
Ruyi shook her head with a smile and said, "No. My mother-in-law is very kind. Seeing that I am not used to Peng's food, she said that she will build a small kitchen in our yard in a few days." The first month of marriage is not suitable for breaking ground.
Ruhui asked unexpectedly: "Is the food at Peng's family difficult to eat?"
"No. It's just that their food tastes heavy, and I'm not used to it." People in the Peng family like big fish and meat, and the dishes are very greasy. But Ruyi ate relatively lightly, and lost her appetite after looking at those meals.
Xiao frowned and said, "If you're not used to eating, you have to get used to it slowly." How can you let the people of your husband's family accept you!
Ruhui retorted, "Mother, if you were asked to eat greasy fish every day, would you be able to eat it?"
After finishing speaking, Ruhui turned her head and said to Ruyi: "Sister, since Mrs. Peng said to build a small kitchen for you, I will build it next month. By the way, is the cook ready? Do you want to put Mrs. Li first?" Take it with you."
Ruyi smiled and said: "Don't worry about this, I'll take my time!" She just can't get used to big fish and big meat, she doesn't want the food to be as delicious as the chef in the restaurant. As long as the cooking skills are decent, there is no such person in the dowry, so look for it in Peng's house.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xiao said: "Your mother-in-law is generous, so you should be more filial to her." Fortunately, the mother-in-law is easy to talk, otherwise, the daughter's temperament will make her worry to death.
Knowing that everything was fine with Ruyi in Peng's house, Xiao told her sister that she was going to Tongcheng in two months.
Both sisters were surprised. Ruhui was the first to ask: "Mother, why do you want to go to Tongcheng?"
Xiao said: "Your father is alone in Tongcheng and has no one to serve me, so I don't feel relieved. Originally, I wanted to wait for Ah Zhan to get married before going, but your father said that we don't need to worry about Ah Zhan's marriage. The emperor said to the queen. A marriage will be granted in time. Since I don't need to worry about Ah Zhan's marriage, I want to go to Tongcheng with your father to take care of him." Besides, she was also worried that if she didn't go to Tongcheng, Ning Hai would take a concubine. Although Ning Hai is fifty years old, he is in good health, and his needs are no less than when he was young.
Although Xiao Shi is not a jealous person, no wife is willing to share her husband with other women, and Xiao Shi is no exception.
Ruhui asked with a smile: "Mother, are you willing to leave me and Ah Zhan?" In fact, Xiao's going to Tongcheng is very good, so there is no need to worry about her father making a little mother and younger siblings.
Xiao said: "If you want, you can go to Tongcheng with me." Ruhui has always been upright since she was a child, so whether to go to Tongcheng depends on Ruhui's own wishes, and she doesn't force it.
Ruhui was indeed a little moved, but quickly shook her head and said: "I still don't want to go. I want to go to Tongcheng too. Ah Zhan is alone in the capital, how pitiful."
Ruyi poked Ruhui's forehead and scolded with a smile: "In your eyes, I'm not a human anymore."
Ruhui hurriedly bowed and apologized: "I made a mistake, big sister, big sister, just bypass me this time!"
Ruyi rolled her eyes, but her face was full of smiles.
