Chen Qian looked at the sky with tears in his eyes, resigned himself to taking the wooden board nailed with the countdown, and silently turned to leave, leaving only Xiao Se's back. Chen Gong looked at Chen Qian, then at Ting Fang, and felt that Ting Fang was still a little scary, so he ran away with Chen Qian.
Ting Fang smiled and waved her handkerchief, sure enough, the lethality of the moves that every school would make to Hina was huge. Children in later generations may be used to being abused when they are young, but they don't feel it when they get to the college entrance examination. And the child at this moment...... It's the first time I've seen such a ruthless method, so it's strange not to be scared! Chen Qian has never been out of the field, and the brocade clothes and jade food have no distractions, and he will guide him to not have enough bearing. It's good for him to start resisting pressure now, after all, it is Chen's mother's family, and the more developed he is, the more he can restrain the eldest master from being stupid. There's no reason why Ting Fang shouldn't push. What's more, the Ye family still has a large group of candidates, from now on, until they are numb, so that they can compete with the world's scholars when thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge. Ting Fang gave herself 10,000 likes in her heart, she is really a good sister in China!
After teasing Chen Qian, Ting Fang turned back to making toys for Xiaoba. Neatly comb through the toys you are going to make, and make sure that you don't miss them. Because Wei Qiang knows words, he can rely on bad pen heads. Tingfang made a piece of graphite as chalk and wrote a work plan on the board. On the left is the current plan, in the middle is the day plan, and on the right is the second half plan. Take two days off every ten days. The middle day plan is updated daily, and Ting Fang will check the progress of completion one by one. There is no need for theory for what has been done, and what is not done will need to be studied in detail. What is the reason for the incompleteness? How many days do I need to postpone? How can it be improved? How can I make a more reasonable plan? These are all questions that Tingfang needs to think about. Most of the so-called management does this kind of thing. You can't expect the people who do the work to have the energy and energy to do time management, that would be very unproductive. In addition to writing on a wooden board, there is also a copy of the booklet that is transcribed with a brush, so that the change of the plan will leave an imprint, rather than being wiped off like on the board. It is used to ensure that Tingfang's thinking is stable and clear, and the adjustment plan is traceable. By the way, I assumed it to practice calligraphy.
Ting Fang learns everything, as if she has learned a lot of miscellaneous, but she can take everything for a very simple reason. She tries her best to find ways to do more with less. A clear schedule is one, and doing several things without interfering with each other is another. No matter how much training there is concentration, it is not enough for outsiders, anyway, few people will believe it, and few people can do it. Except for Tingwu, who took over personally, the rest of them only occasionally muttered a few words, and they would never help them with training again. Wei Qiang is born with good concentration, so the things he makes are exquisite. The eighth-level mechanic is a good seedling, if only his body was better.
Wei Qiang naturally has never been exposed to Ting Fang's way of working, but he has the advantage of following the principle of collecting money โกโก people. Despite some inexplicable self-righteousness, obedience to work is still high. Of course, the Ye family's use of money to smash people is a very important reason. He needs money, a lot of money. He wants not to look for Tingfang next time he is sick, he wants his son to buy the paper for his writing, and he also wants to save some money for his son to save his wife's book and pension money in the future. Wei Qiang is a person who is twisted and at the same time a dignified person. If you don't want to live by charity, you can only redouble your efforts.
Ting Fang tolerated Wei Qiang's awkwardness, and also had basic respect for his pride. Just like her usual attitude towards her relatives, she will play more if she comes, and if she can't play it, we are still relatives. Wei Qiang is her uncle, no matter what, he has to take care of it, and it is still much better to take care of an old awkward than to take care of an old scoundrel! At least I'm happy! As for the strange sense of guilt, it's even more cloudy, just explain that you are not a bitter cauliflower. It's not a good person's temper! I think that when she first worked, the inherent stinky problems of the technical party that wanted to strangle people to death were almost changed in three or four years. Since the boss back then could tolerate her, of course she can also endure it without pressure now. To put it bluntly, everyone eats technical food, and the stinky temper in the bones is not the same! Understand!
Unexpectedly, after explaining the matter, Wei Qiang did not start work as usual, but stopped talking.
Ting Fang hurriedly asked, "Is there anything else?" Just say it. โ
Wei Qiang sorted out his thoughts for a while before he said, "My Hun family is coming over and wants to meet the girl." โ
Ting Fang said happily: "Okay, when are you coming to send the girl to sue me." I don't have much time these days, so I may have to sit down first before I can talk to her. โ
Wei Qiang scratched his head: "The girl's girl promised the Yue family in our village." โ
Ting Fang said: "But what's the problem? โ
Wei Qiang hesitated for a moment before he said, "That...... The Yue family wants to ask for a favor, can the dowry be less? They really can't take that much! โ
Ting Fang was stunned: "What dowry?" โ
Wei Qiang said with a smile: "I'm afraid the girl doesn't know yet, and she always has to give a dowry when she marries." The Yue family is very willing to marry, but the Yuan family wants twenty taels of gold, and their family can't take it out. If you have to sell the land, you can naturally make up it, but you are afraid that if you lose the land, Miss Yuan will marry and suffer. The truth is far less euphemistic than Wei Qiang said. Previously, the Yue family heard that they could marry the girl in the old mansion, and almost thought that the Wei family would entertain them. Wei Niangzi said it again and again, and they believed it. After combining the eight characters, and hearing that the girl was literate, the family was crazy with joy, thinking that they had climbed the big tree. really talked about marriage, and the Yuan family opened their mouths for twenty taels of gold. The Yue family ran back and forth several times without cutting the price. It is said that twenty taels of gold is not a great loss, and it is not a loss to take the line of Ye Ge's hometown, and there is no need for men to fight for water in the dry water period - who dares to fight with the old mansion of Ge? The prime minister's porter is a seven-rank official, there is something wrong with the Yuan family running back to the old mansion and crying, and the other party simply can't eat and walk. Therefore, the Yue-in-law family borrowed money from door to door. The clan also sincerely wants to help, but the countryside can't make up so much.
The Yue family doesn't want to get married anymore, and no matter how golden it is, there is no cash to exchange. But I didn't dare to withdraw from my relatives again. After thinking about it, I still begged the Wei family to see if I could reduce it a little. If you can cut sixteen taels, you can barely make it up; It would be even better if it could reach twelve taels.
There are still jokers in the clan, and the common people don't understand big families, so they rely on blind guessing for everything. Zhenyu has not entered the door yet, and some people guess whether she asked the master to accept the house and was sent out by his wife, otherwise why could such a golden and precious girl be cheaper than the Yue family? Even if it's an ugly girl, Kyori doesn't line up to get it. If it falls into the Yue family, there must be fraud. actually joked that on the day of marriage, he would see the red.
Wei Qiang saw that Tingfang's face sank inch by inch, and said with a smile: "It's really not good, it's okay to do two or two less." Eighteen taels, everyone can always get together. โ
Ting Fang suppressed her anger and said to Wei Qiang: "Let's go and sue the Yue family, I haven't said anything about the dowry yet." Since she is my girl, she must come according to my rules. Who is so big in charge of me? Call Zhenyu's mother-in-law with you. The lady came to talk to me. The dowry is self-wanting, whose girl doesn't want a dowry when she gets married? It's just that you worship the wrong temple gate, and when I come to her in person, she will go and prepare. "The dowry is to sell women for money, and Tingfang hates this word quite a lot. However, she can't go against the times, no matter what, she has to accept the dowry first, and then use the dowry to press her husband's family. It means that we are not selling our daughters, your daughter-in-law has a mother's family, but you are not allowed to bully people. But it doesn't mean that the dowry can be collected indiscriminately. I also want to know that the Yue family invests in the family's wealth, and the return is also huge. Tingfang gave it, but she didn't want to give it. She doesn't want to play with the return on investment, she just wants the girl to have a good home.
Wei Qiang said embarrassedly: "Girl, eighteen taels of gold, it's really the limit." โ
Ting Fang said depressedly: "Do you look at me like a person who lacks eighteen taels of gold?"
"Uh......"
Ting Fang was angry and funny, pointing to his earrings and said, "Pigeon blood ruby, rewarded by His Royal Highness King Fu." The gem is small and not worth much, so it is only a dozen taels of gold. โ
Wei Qiang had only heard of gems at all, and had never seen them. It's a man again, and he doesn't pay more attention to jewelry. When I heard Tingfang's offer, I was stupid.
Ting Fang continued: "Of course, I can earn it, so I have a lot of jewelry. When I was younger, I would go out as a guest and have more than 100 taels of head collars. Most of the things used in daily use are gold and silverware, which are not as valuable as precious stones. โ
Wei Qiang: "......" gold and silverware are already very valuable, girl!
Ting Fang smiled: "Are you still afraid that I will pit the Yue family for dozens of taels of gold?" โ
Wei Qiang shook his head.
Ting Fang nodded: "Very good, just call the lady of the Yue family to see me." With that, he turned around and left.
Ting Fang returned home with a dark face, and the first thing he did was to invite Zhenyu to ask, "You. Do you know about the bride price of your mother's family? โ
Zhenyu blushed and said in a low voice, "I know a little." โ
Ting Fang's face was even more ugly: "How much is a little?" โ
Zhen Yu looked at Ting Fang's face and said cautiously: "Twenty taels...... Gold ......"
Ting Fang looked at Zhenyu fixedly, and didn't speak for a long time.
Zhenyu panicked for no reason, and couldn't hold on to a cup of tea, his knees weakened, and he fell to the ground. Ting Fang still just looked at her.
Zhenyu trembled nervously: "Girl......"
Ting Fang finally had enough of staring, looked away, and looked out the window in contemplation. According to the rules, let alone the girl, the girl's parents are all slaves and maids of her family, and they have no human rights. The simplest, if Zhenyu follows her, there is no need to keep filial piety when her parents die. Instead, it's her Ye. Tingfang is dead, and Zhenyu has to keep filial piety for at least 100 days. It's like the Ye family meets the royal family, and all the rules have to be according to the royal family. When Ting Yao marries her grandson, it is the old lady of the Ye family who meets Ting Yao, and she wants to kowtow. The order of the monarch and the minister, not the father and the son, must not be disordered. It's just that Tingfang comes from an era when everyone is equal, and she is tolerant if she can be tolerant. So I never stick to my parents and brothers. But now Zhenyu can hide herself in the dark for the sake of her parents.
Yes, Chen Gongfei hurt Zhenyu with a blow, but she also helped Zhenyu solve her worries as much as possible. It's not that you have to put her before her parents, but if there is something to tell her about it, right? She could guess what Zhenyu would explain to the dowry, it was nothing more than that it was not easy for her parents to raise her, so she should be happy with her parents. Hehe, in this world, there is no need to repay the grace of nurturing is the slave maid, because they are simply raised by the master! Otherwise, how can loyalty to slaves be filial piety? No parents, of course, no children, but without the main family, their parents are starving to death, okay!
Foolishness, filial piety and disloyalty, right and wrong are not distinguished! Ting Fang's gaze turned back from the window, sat on the kang, and looked condescendingly at the man kneeling on the ground: "Zhenyu, you disappointed me too much!" โ
