With experience, Ning Nianzhi's confinement is not as boring as last time. In addition, Brother Guang comes to have fun from time to time, and time flies quite quickly. The newly-acquired child was given a big name, Hara Yaoming. The nickname is more casual, just call Brother Ming directly.

The child was raised well, and when the full moon was held, it was white and fat, and it made people want to bite twice, because it was still within the national filial piety, and the full moon ceremony did not dare to do it, and only invited close people to eat a banquet that was over.

After the New Year, I will go abroad for filial piety, in addition to national filial piety and maternal filial piety, the marriage of the original Chengzong and the original step-ancestor has to be talked about first, the old lady is not willing to take care of this matter, this person chooses something, and the old man himself decides. Ning Nianzhi is a junior, and it is not easy to interfere in this marriage, so according to what I said before, I invited the third lady and the fourth lady to preside over the whole process from the hiring to the wedding.

Ning Nianzhi only followed Yuan Dongliang to have a banquet on the day of marriage, and then sat with the bride in the wedding room for a while according to custom. Yuan Chengzong's new daughter-in-law is called Zhao Mingzhu, and her father is a former subordinate of the old general, the general of Wupin. Because this future is in the hands of the old man in the future, there is no need to worry that this Zhao girl will be bad to Yuan Weiyang.

Seventeen or eighteen years old, the length can only be considered average, but the temperament is gentle, and the speech is slow and methodical, and he looks like a kind-hearted person. Ning Nianzhi picked up the things on the surface and said: "If you are free, you can go to our side to ask your grandfather and grandmother to say goodbye, grandmother is a person who likes to be lively, if you can go, she will definitely be happy." ”

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, Miss Zhao was new to the door, and she didn't even know the people who served around Yuan Chengzong, so she looked at Ning Nianzhi with some hesitation and confusion at this time, Ning Nianzhi hurriedly got up: "Maybe the group of boys drank too much, and they were making a fuss at this time, I'll take a look." ”

When I went out with Xiuxin, I saw two mothers-in-law at the door blocking Yuan Weiyang, and Yuan Weiyang had to break in with two maids. Seeing Ning Nianzhi, his movements stopped, and in the blink of an eye, his eyes turned red: "Auntie." ”

"What's going on?" is about to be a mother, Ning Nianzhi is also very soft-hearted to the child, and hurriedly pulled Yuan Weiyang: "But what is the matter with the aunt?" Why did you come here now? ”

"They all said that my father married a new daughter-in-law, and he didn't want me in the future, I wanted to come and see." Yuan Weiyang is only eight years old, to be honest, the death of his mother has little impact on him, although Yuan Chengzong is a man's family, not so careful, but now he speaks sharply, and if he wants to sue or something, he has always sued a quasi-child, and no one in the house dares to treat him slowly.

So, the child is still round. At this time, he looks pitiful, and it is really pitiful to look at. Ning Nianzhi pulled the person to his side and rubbed his head: "Who said this?" It can be seen that you can't see your good, your father has married a new daughter-in-law, and you will have more mothers in the future, how can it be that even your father doesn't want you? Your father used to say that he planned to guard your own mother, if it wasn't for taking care of you, where would he be willing to marry a new daughter-in-law. ”

"Think about it, since the death of your grandmother and your mother, has there been a lot of chaos in this house?" Ning Nianzhi asked with a smile, Yuan Chengzong and Yuan Jizu don't know how to take care of the family. As long as you know the approximate number of purchases, let the account room be guarded. But there are all kinds of personal contacts, as well as people's clothes and monthly routines, where will the two of them get these, they will invite the third lady or the fourth lady to come to the door every now and then, Ning Nianzhi knows everything, Yuan Weiyang naturally knows it, and when he heard what Ning Nianzhi said, he lowered his head and didn't speak.

"Did someone tell you that when the new daughter-in-law enters the door, she will give birth to a little brother in the future, and your father only likes the little brother and doesn't like you?" Ning Nianzhi asked with a smile, Yuan Weiyang nodded, and his voice was low: "I have no mother, if I don't have a father again......"

"No, you are the eldest son, as long as you are obedient, study hard, and practice martial arts well, your father must like you the most, if your father treats you badly, you can find your grandfather, grandfather will definitely stand out for you." Seven or eight-year-old children are prone to accidents, but the fourteenth or eight-year-old can be fixed.

The old man's body will definitely be able to live for another seven or eight years. At that time, even if the second master is really picked up and doesn't like this eldest son, the old man can also give Yuan Weiyang a share of the family property and let the child come out alone.

"But the person who picked you up is not kind to you, think about it, today is your father's good day, you came to make this scene, if I didn't show up, shouldn't I have attracted others to see it? If you make your father lose face in front of outsiders, will your father still like you? Ning Nianzhi raised his eyebrows and said, the Miao family used the excuse that the Miao family and the Xiao Miao family were not there, for fear that someone would abuse Yuan Weiyang, so they forced Xiao Miao's grandmother to Yuan Weiyang.

When this new lady enters the door, it is very likely that she will take the people left by the original Xiao Miao clan to open the knife, and they are purging the little master to come out first, and then test the attitude of the new lady. Ning Nianzhi didn't need to ask about this at all, he just turned around in his heart and understood.

There are people like the Miao family and the Xiao Miao family, Ning Nianzhi doesn't think that there will be any good people in the Miao family, and he hacks the people of the Miao family without any burden: "If your father is angry, will he beat you?" The new daughter-in-law is unhappy, will she be annoyed when she sees you in the future? In this way, will your father and mother still like you? ”

Yuan Weiyang is not stupid, he is just a little naïve at the age of seven or eight, pursed his lips and nodded in response: "I know what the eldest aunt said, but I was too reckless, then the eldest aunt, if I have anything to do in the future, can I go to you and the uncle?" ”

"Nature can." Ning Nianzhi nodded in response, and stuffed a jade pendant for Yuan Weiyang: "Take it, when you are free, go and ask your grandfather and grandmother to say goodbye, please their old people more, and study hard by yourself, so that your father will like you more." ”

comforted the child, Ning Nianzhi calculated that the time was almost up, went around the new house, comforted the bride again, and then Yuan Dongliang asked people to call.

The family affairs of the original step-ancestor are some twists and turns, although they are all continuations, but the original heir-on-father is the eldest son and can inherit the family property. The original step-ancestor was the second son, and he broke his legs, and his temper was a little bad after he was not good at walking. Too good to look down on him, too bad old man can't look down on him.

So, I put it down for the time being.

At the beginning of May, Yuan Xiu got married. In June, Yuan Min held a ceremony, and there was such a girl in the fourth room, even if she was a concubine, this ceremony was also very grand. As soon as the ceremony ended, many matchmakers came to the door.

It's just a little difficult to do, Yuan Min herself is a concubine, but she is the only daughter in the fourth room. Those who ask for the door, if they are concubines, they can't look down on the four rooms. If it is a son-in-law, and some of them have too low status, and the status of the fourth master is equivalent, they will never let their own sister-in-law marry a concubine, even if Yuan Min is raised by the fourth lady. Yuan Min's background is quite embarrassing.

After dragging on for more than a year, seeing that Yuan Min was about to be seventeen years old, the fourth lady couldn't make up her mind, so she came to beg the old lady.

"I'm old, I can't see clearly, these things, you have to be your father's decision." Mrs. God waved her hand, unwilling to look at it, but she still liked the little girl Yuan Min, and pointed to Ning Nianzhi beside her: "What is going on in this mansion now, it is your nephew and daughter-in-law who have the idea, and she has a lot of people coming and going, you ask her to see if there are any good ideas." ”

The fourth lady hurriedly asked Ning Nianzhi, Ning Nianzhi thought about it for a while, and there was really a good candidate: "Master Cheng, do you know?" The county order of Musha County, Yuncheng, although it is only a seven-grade official, but it is a clear family style, Lord Cheng has a son, is a son-in-law, last time the old lady was too old, Mrs. Cheng brought her son to celebrate her birthday, that Cheng Gongzi I also took a few looks, handsome, eighteen this year, and will participate in the autumn festival in two months. ”

Now this status is a bit low. But the victory is that he is a son-in-law, the family is simple and innocent, and the person is also motivated, if he is out of luck in the future, he is not afraid that he will treat Yuan Min badly.

The fourth lady went back to inquire and felt that this candidate was really good, so she asked someone to hand over the message. The Cheng family was probably also worried about Cheng Gongzi's relatives, and after listening to the rumors from the original family, they immediately brought their son to see each other.

Yuan Minchang is beautiful and beautiful, and Cheng Gongzi is also tall and handsome, and the two of them immediately looked at each other.

So, this family affair is settled, and it is agreed that they will get married after the autumn.

The original step-ancestor who has not been able to find a suitable partner for more than two years here, has finally relented. Since Yuan Dongliang took over the affairs of the military camp, the old man has regarded the matter of marrying his daughter-in-law as his most important task.

The little girl who is not married in Yuncheng, he knows better than the old lady and Ning Nianzhi, whose girl is handsome, whose girl has a good character, whose girl has a big temper, and whose girl has good literary talents, that is a number of treasures.

But I can't stand the disagreement of others, or the disagreement of the original step-ancestor himself. One and two, seeing that the original Chengzong's stepfamily had given birth, the original stepfather was finally appointed, and he should be favored by the old man and married a merchant girl.

But this merchant girl is different from He's, He is gentle and petty, a little afraid of the power of the original family, and finally becomes cowardly and timid. This girl has no mother since she was a child, and she has to deal with a vicious stepmother and a young brother, she is very strong-minded and has a somewhat pungent temperament.

Less than a month after getting married, he sent away the two maids in the original step-ancestral house. The original step-ancestor was angry, but unfortunately, he was not good at doing things, he couldn't even beat women in a fight, and he couldn't scold people's mouths, so he had to endure it.

Then, endure and endure, it becomes a habit.

When Yuan Yaohui was six years old, the old man and the old lady, as well as Yuan Dongliang and Ning Nianzhi, the four elders of the family sat together and discussed the matter of Yuan Yaohui's schooling. The old man thinks that he is idle at home anyway and can help teach. The old lady thinks that the old man is good at fighting, but he is a little worse in literature, and he has to ask a gentleman to come back.

Ning Nianzhi felt that Yuan Yaohui was always in his own house, and he didn't have any school-age friends at home, so it was better to go out to school.

Yuan Dongliang unconditionally supported Ning Nianzhi, but the old lady was unwilling: "Who knows who the people are outside, what if they bump into my baby?" Just ask a gentleman to be at home, so that whether Brother Guang'er is hungry or thirsty, we have a maid to immediately send tea and snacks, Brother Guang'er is still growing up, then in the academy, but you are not allowed to eat for half an hour, what should I do if I don't grow tall in the future? ”

Ning Nianzhi couldn't cry or laugh: "How can you do it without rules?" My husband is in class, and he stops to eat a snack or drink a saliva, how can he concentrate on studying? It's better to go out, so that you can make friends, and when you grow up in the future, you will have a few good brothers. Second, it also sharpens his temperament, our own family treats him as a baby, but out of our house, who knows who he is? If you develop the character of that little overlord and go to the capital in the future, won't you offend people everywhere? ”

"Yes, grandmother, listen to it." Yuan Dongliang hurriedly said, the old lady glared at him, and he didn't dare to say the rest, the old man sighed: "If you want me to say, Mr. doesn't need to invite, and the academy doesn't need to go to ......."

The old lady gave him a roll of his eyes, Ning Nianzhi didn't answer at all, Yuan Dongliang coughed lightly: "What, the art of war or something, I believe that my grandfather is the best, but this kind of thing is enlightenment, let's leave it to a special gentleman." ”

couldn't argue, so he simply called Yuan Yaohui and said how he wanted to study. Yuan Yaohui was white and chubby, his eyes were particularly like Ning Nianzhi, big and beautiful, listening to his great-grandmother's question, leaning on the old lady's side and coquettishly: "I really want to be with my great-grandmother, it would be great if I could see my great-grandmother as soon as I get out of school, but I want to grow up and have the ability to protect my great-grandmother in the future. If I were studying at home, my great-grandmother would definitely be reluctant to let me suffer, and my husband wouldn't dare to discipline me harshly, wouldn't he? ”

The old lady couldn't cry or laugh: "It's hard for you to come up with such a reason at your young age, isn't it because you don't think there is anyone at home to play with you?" Forget it, since you want to go out to study, go out and study. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Ning Nianzhi: "The child is going out to study, this coachman, and the scholar, but they are all carefully selected, and the most important thing is to be stable, you know?" ”

Ning Nianzhi hurriedly smiled: "Grandmother, don't worry, I will choose carefully when I go back." It's just that I have to talk to Brother Ming carefully about this matter for fear that his children will make trouble, and he will not be willing to give up his brother. ”

The brothers are more than two or two years apart, less than three years old, and they have been sticking to Brother Guang'er since Brother Ming can walk, and as soon as Brother Guang'er goes to school, no one plays with Brother Ming, and he must be unwilling.

"What's this, send Brother Ming to me, and I'll play with him." The old lady said busily, and the old man pouted: "With your body, you can be tired after taking care of it for a long time." ”

Taking care of the child is not just staring at him, you have to deal with all kinds of questions from him, you have to follow him around, the old lady is old, and she really can't cope with it. But if you can't cope with it and tell others that you can't do it, the more the old man says this, the more the old lady has to prove herself: "I'm in good health, don't interrupt me, I will definitely be able to take care of Brother Ming." ”

"Then I'm going to thank my grandmother first." Ning Nianzhi hurriedly smiled, and the old lady waved her hand: "It's okay, it's okay, speaking of which, Brother Ming is almost three years old, when are you going to have another one?" ”

Ning Nianzhi is thick-skinned now, but there are still children here, so he hurriedly stuffed Brother Guang into the old lady's arms: "Grandmother, there are Brother Guang'er and Brother Ming'er, it's not enough for you to take care of it." ”

"The more children, the better, Brother Guang'er said himself, do you want to have another little brother?" The old lady asked with a smile, Brother Guang'er shook his head and looked at Ning Nianzhi: "I want a little sister, my mother has to give me a sister." ”

Yuan Dongliang touched his chin and looked at Ning Nianzhi's belly, girl, a girl who is as good-looking as Nianzhi. I have to work hard to get back, and I have to have a girl.

After talking for a while, leaving Brother Guang and Brother Ming on the old lady's side, Yuan Dongliang took Ning Nianzhi back to his yard, and wanted to hug people when he entered the door, Ning Nianzhi pushed him away: "In broad daylight, what are you doing?" Hurry up and sit down, isn't there a letter from the capital early this morning? I haven't had time to see what they said. ”

"Four things, my father has been promoted again, An Cheng has a daughter-in-law again, An Yue is also going to marry a daughter-in-law, Baozhu's son has caught the official seal at the age of one, and he will definitely have a great future in the future." After a pause, he said again: "Second aunt, I'm afraid it's ......."

Ning Nianzhi was stunned, and couldn't help sighing: "It's not easy to survive for so many years, but now, Baozhu has given birth to a son, and he has finally gained a firm foothold in the Zhao family, and Ann and cousin also have their own daughter, so they don't have to worry about the future, the younger brother has his own An and cousin to take care of, and the second aunt will vent out this breath." ”

Originally, my health was not good, but I held on in my heart and waited for my children to come out. Now, this breath is released, and the body collapses.

"Life and death are fate, the second aunt can see it herself, don't be too sad." Yuan Dongliang comforted, and Ning Nianzhi patted him: "Now that the second aunt hasn't passed away yet, don't say such frustrating words, maybe you can encounter some turnaround?" Bring me the letter, and I will read it myself. ”

Yuan Dongliang stretched out his hand and pulled out a letter from a drawer on the side, seeing that Ning Nianzhi was about to get up and look at it to the side, he quickly tied the person into his arms, and had to let people sit on his lap, Ning Nianzhi was helpless: "It's been a few years since you got married, and you are not too tired." ”

"Even if you have been married for fifty or sixty years, you won't be tired of it, and you have to do it like this for the rest of your life." Yuan Dongliang said with a smile, resting his head on Ning Nianzhi's shoulder, Ning Nianzhi read the letter, he looked at Ning Nianzhi.

The letter, as ever, was written in a particularly thick way. First of all, I talked about the situation of the old man, he is getting older and older, and now he doesn't like to run around very much, so he grows flowers and plants at home to see his great-grandson or something.

Then there is the old lady, Ning Wangfu wants to take Ning Fei home because of the matter of seizing the heir. But Ning Fei could also see that there was no good person in Ning Wangfu, so he begged Ning Zhen to be the master and leave, and Ning Zhen exchanged his own merits for Ning Fei and left Ning Wangfu with the child. This is also the reason why after the last time the crown prince succeeded to the throne, it was clear that Ning Zhen had made great contributions, but in the end he only received some rewards and was not promoted to the rank of knight.

But it's not all for Ning Fei, Ning Fei is just a good excuse. First, let the new emperor know that the soft-hearted pair of the family will not be out of control. Second, it will not be a high achievement.

Of course, the Ning family has always been □□, and the new emperor will not treat Ning Zhen badly, although he has not been promoted, but the title can be passed down for three generations.

Now Ning Fei follows the old lady, often eats fasting and recites Buddha, and the whole person is quiet and settled. As for the children, the Ning family does not lack one person's rations, and furthermore, Ning Fei's original dowry was very rich, and the two of them did not eat and drink for nothing.

Then, there was a big house. Ning Zhen and Ma Xinrong are in good health, Ning Ancheng is about to have a second son, Ning Anyue is also going to get married, the eldest daughter of the Hubu Shangshu has been on a blind date, and the two of them are also very willing. The small one, Ma Xinrong is also picking it up, and it is estimated that in two more years, it will also be changed to a parent.

The second room is still like that, Ning Xiao doesn't care much about things, but now that she is older, she doesn't like to pamper her aunt as much as before, since she beat Ning An and got married, the affairs of the second room are under the care of the daughter-in-law here, and the second lady is happy to let go, just take care of her own body.

All in all, everything was fine.

Ning Nianzhi folded the letter with a smile, stuffed it into the envelope, and then put it in a box and put it away, turning his head to look at Yuan Dongliang: "When will we be free, we have to go back to Beijing to see, it's been seven years, and I don't know what the capital has become now." ”

"Probably getting better?" Yuan Dongliang said with a smile: "The emperor is a saint, and his temperament is very kind, that is, our Cloud City is much more prosperous than before, and the capital must be more prosperous." ”

"If you want to go back and have a look, when I arrange things here, in another two or three years, we will be able to free up our hands." After thinking about it, he said, "You are not allowed to go alone and leave me here." ”

Ning Nianzhi couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, I won't leave you." ”

"When are we going to have a daughter?" Yuan Dongliang touched Ning Nianzhi's stomach and asked, Ning Nianzhi rolled his eyes: "You are too much for only two sons?" Everyone is eager to have seventeen or eighteen sons. ”

"It's too painful for you to have a baby, you can have fewer children." Yuan Dongliang looked at Ning Nianzhi very seriously: "When we have another daughter, let's throw the original family into a light brother, and then, take our daughter around, go back to the capital first, then go to the north to see, and then go to Jiangnan, haven't you always wanted to go to Jiangnan to see?" ”

Ning Nianzhi raised his eyebrows: "If Brother Guang knew this, he would definitely go to his grandmother to complain." ”

"Let him go, the stinky boy is always sticking to you, and he has already seen that he is not pleasing to the eye, so he can find a reason to beat him." Yuan Dongliang said with a smile, and then said that when Cao Cao Cao arrived, Yuan Yaohui's voice sounded outside the door: "I must tell my grandfather and let my grandmother beat you first!" ”

Yuan Dongliang held his forehead, and Ning Nianzhi couldn't help laughing.
