Chapter 80
"No queen?" The old lady laughed a few times: "I have such a big granddaughter standing here, you can't see it?" ”
"Exactly!" Master Ning San shouted loudly: "It's the granddaughter, she can't inherit the incense, isn't this what a queen?" ”
The old lady frowned and said, "The third cousin has never interacted with my poor relatives, and even when Yongda was funeral, the third cousin didn't come to see it, but even if the third cousin didn't hear it that day, he always heard it just now, right?" Qing'er has vowed to recruit a son-in-law and inherit Yongda's incense. In this case, why does the third cousin have to say that there is no queen? ”
Master Ning San was a little dumbfounded, but he immediately smiled sadly and reprimanded, "I advise Aunt Tang to hand over the title deed as soon as possible." Didn't my aunt think about it, why Ning Yongda died and why he died suddenly, wasn't it because he had occupied the clan property over the years and suffered a curse? ”
The old lady was so angry that she slapped the case: "You...... If you speak so disrespectfully, you will be damned! The old lady coughed heavily a few times, sat back weakly, but glared at the front viciously, and said word by word: "I tell you, even if Yongda is gone, as long as Qing'er is there, Qing'er can recruit a son-in-law to enter the door, and Yongda will not be a queen!" ”
Ning Xia Qing hurriedly patted the old lady's back, comforting the old lady, and seeing that the old lady was calming down, she raised her face and said: "You have also seen it, my grandmother is not in good health, you came to the door today, are you going to force my grandmother to death?" My family has always had little contact with the people in the clan, and I only know that my Ning clan makes a living from textile and clothing, but I don't know that you have already started such a murderous business. ”
Old Man Ning San was extremely angry: "Ning Xia Qing, is this your attitude towards the elders?" ”
Ning Xia Qing sneered and reprimanded: "How Uncle Santang speaks to my grandmother, I will talk to Uncle Santang, if Uncle Santang thinks that I have a bad attitude, it can only be said that Uncle Santang is not right." She looked at the people in front of her coldly: "You have also seen that my grandmother is not in good health, and if anyone makes my grandmother angry, he will be no different from a murderer!" ”
Seeing that the old lady was still holding her chest and panting, Ning Xia Qingwen said, "Grandma, you take a break first, and I'll deal with it." ”
Grandma Ning looked at the old lady who was already angry, and then looked at Ning Ningqing, who was calm and relaxed, obviously the old lady was the soft persimmon that was easy to pinch, so Grandma Ning pretended to be kind and said: "Okay, okay, but for a while, the words collided, and neither of them intended to be angry, and they were all dissipated." ”
Grandma Ning first looked at Master Ning San, and pretended to reprimand: "Third brother, you too, you know that your aunt is not in good health, why are you still so impulsive?" ”
Immediately, Grandma Ning looked at Ning Xia Qing again and said, "Qing'er, you are also wrong, your third cousin is talking to your grandmother about business, how can you, as a junior, interject?" Either way, it's time for adults to speak, so just listen to it. ”
Ning Xia Qing sneered: "Aunt Lobby doesn't have to pretend to be neutral, I don't eat this." I have said many times that I want to recruit a son-in-law, continue the incense, and be the master of the house, so everything about my family is up to me, and there is no need for Aunt Lobby to pretend not to hear me, and there is no need to use my age to seal my mouth several times. ”
Ning Xia Qing looked at everyone and said solemnly: "Since I want to continue the incense for my father, my father is not a queen, and my family's mulberry garden is also surnamed Ning." In this case, the contract made by my grandfather back then has not yet taken effect, and the people of the clan are not qualified to come to ask for my mulberry garden. ”
Master Ning, who has always been high-minded, has never been treated so unceremoniously, and instantly reprimanded: "But the yellow-haired girl, dare to threaten to be the master of the house, and dare to speak out to drive people away?" It's really overwhelming! ”
Master Ning then looked at the person beside him.
The person next to him immediately realized, this person is called Ning Zhiheng, is the cousin of Master Ning, who has always disguised himself as a Sven teenager, Ning Zhiheng smiled and said: "Qing'er, you can be so ambitious, my cousin wants to praise you a few words." It's just that our Ning clan rules once said that the clan property is only passed on to men, so even if you recruit money, it is useless. ”
Ning Xia Qing looked at Ning Zhiheng coldly, and was very disgusted by Ning Zhiheng's "Qing'er".
Ning Zhiheng had to inch in: "Qing'er, listen to my cousin tell you, this matter is not a child's house, this is a big deal, you are not allowed to make this little girl angry." If you are still so willful, the clansmen can only use the clan rules to do things, if your family is disposed of by the clan rules, it is not just as simple as losing face, and when it spreads, the entire Meigong County will be sideways! ”
Ning Zhiheng heard this "Qing'er" in her heart, and she was taking advantage of her by her relatives. In her previous life, after she got married, Ning Zhiheng also teased her, and later was taught a small lesson by Tan Wenshi, and Ning Zhiheng was at ease. Ning Ningqing was very displeased when she thought of this, and said coldly: "My cousin and I are the same generation, and we don't know each other, so please let my cousin be respectful and don't call my name directly." ”
Ning Zhiheng's expression was a little embarrassed for a moment, and he said curtly: "I know that we don't know each other, but ...... You're younger than me, I'll call you Qing'er if I treat you as a child. ”
"Could it be that my cousin often treats sixteen-year-old girls as children on weekdays and calls each other by their names?"
"This ......" Ning Zhiheng was speechless.
A distant cousin of Master Ning San called Ning Zhihao's person to save the scene and said, "Let's stop talking about this, let's talk about business." Cousin Xia Qing, in fact, you are mistaken, we are not here to rob your family's things this time, we are here to help your family. Our Ning clan has always been harmonious, and it is all about helping each other in the clan to get to where we are today. Now that something has happened to your family, the clan will naturally have to help. ”
Grandma Ning hurriedly echoed: "Exactly." Although my aunt just said that we didn't move around much before, it's not that you are poor, it's just that everyone is too busy, so they just neglect to move around. But no matter what happened in the past, now that Yongda is gone, leaving your family behind, how can the clan look at it? We assure you that as long as there are still people in the Ning clan, we will never leave you alone! ”
Ning Ningqing's heart tightened, and he realized something in an instant, and asked leisurely: "I don't know how the clan plans to help my family?" ”
Ning Zhihao replied with a smile: "That's the case, my cousin passed away suddenly, leaving behind not only the mulberry garden, but also the shop." Xia Qing's cousin is young and immature, thinking that being the master of the house is very simple, but as everyone knows, it is easier said than done, not only to be in charge of family affairs, but also to run the family shop, Xia Qing's cousin is a girl's family, where do you understand this? But if this shop closes for one more day, it will lose one more day's profit, which is really not to be delayed. ”
Ning Xia Qing looked at Ning Zhihao coldly, and had already guessed what Ning Zhihao was going to say next.
Sure enough, "So, the third master has already planned to find an experienced steward to take care of the shop for you." Cousin Xia Qing rest assured, I definitely don't want to rob your shop, and after Cousin Xia Qing learns the way of business and can run the shop alone, we will definitely not interfere. The third master is really selfless, and he really just wants to help you. Ning Zhihao pretended to be kind and said.
Master Ning San also spoke: "Aunt Cousin and Qing'er, don't think too much, I really don't want to be greedy for your shop, to be honest, I have so many shops under my hands, I really don't care about your family's oil and water, I really want to help you." ”
Master Ning San looked at Tan Wenshi and said with a smile: "Aunt Tang, this person's name is Tan Wenshi, you should have heard that when Yongda was still there, Tan Wenshi and Yongda often had dealings. Tan Wenshi is my right-hand man, and he is thoughtful, so let him take care of your shop. He and Yongda are old friends, so you don't have to be wary of him. ”
Tan Wenshi immediately promised: "I have other shops in my hands, and I am busy on weekdays, but since Master Ning San entrusted me with this matter, I will come to help when I have time." Tan Wenshi's tone was calm and unwavering, as if it was really just business.
Master Ning San said sincerely: "In the future, with Tan Wenshi's help, the shop left by Yongda will be able to continue to operate." Speaking of which, Yongda and I are cousins, but this is the only thing I can do for Yongda, and I'm really ashamed. This is my heart for Yongda, and my aunt agreed. ”
Grandma Ning smiled and said, "The third brother is really kind, Aunt Cousin and Qing'er agreed." ”
Before Ning Xia Qing could speak, Master Ning San took matters into his own hands and said, "Okay, let's decide the matter of the shop!" As for the mulberry garden...... To be honest, this mulberry garden is under the control of my eldest brother, and it is not under my control, even if I help my eldest brother to return to the mulberry garden, I will not get benefits, so I don't need to help my eldest brother speak at all, what I said is completely fair. ”
Master Ning San said as he took out the contract of the year: "Yongda rented the mulberry garden to my eldest brother before his death, and there are five years left in the lease. According to what is written in this contract, the cousin should hand over the mulberry garden immediately and not get a penny. But my eldest brother took care of his relatives, and specially prepared a year's rent, as long as you hand over the title deed, the silver will be given to you immediately, and it should be used to help you subsidize your family. ”
Master Ning San clapped his hands with emotion and smiled hypocritically: "To be fair, my eldest brother is really benevolent!" ”
Ning Xia Qing looked at these faces in front of him coldly.
In her previous life, Ning Yongda had not yet lost her breath, and this group of people broke into her house just like today, and they kept saying that they were clansmen who helped each other, but they coerced and lured Ning Yongda, making Ning Yongda angry day by day.
Thinking of the tragedy of Ning Yongda in her previous life, the hatred for these people in her heart cannot disappear!
And in addition to persecuting Ning Yongda, this group of people also used this to place Tan Wenshi next to Ning Ningqing, thus completely swallowing Ning Yongda's family property!
These people didn't want to leave Ning Yongda's family alive at all, they completely smashed their bones and sucked the blood. Not to mention that they are relatives by blood, even if they are strangers, they will not force people to a dead end like this! How vicious this is!
Looking at the hypocritical Master Ning San, Ning Xia Qing said coldly: "This is my family's business, please don't make your own opinions, and don't judge yourself." I don't need the help of Uncle Santang's people, and I won't hand over the mulberry garden. The contract said that the condition for handing over the mulberry garden was that my grandfather had no queen, and I had already made it clear that I would pass the incense for my family, so there was no need to hand over the mulberry garden at all. ”
Master Ning immediately shouted angrily: "You girl don't want to get an inch!" It's already an adult's tolerance to let you speak, and after telling you so much, why don't you understand! ”
Ning Xia Qing glanced at it calmly, and said leisurely: "Uncle Lobby doesn't need to scare me with a loud shout, this trick won't work for me." ”
"You ......" Master Ning was stunned.
"That's right!" Ning Xia Qing suddenly shouted: "To Cousin Heng!" ”
Ning Zhiheng, who was suddenly called, was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Ning Xia Qing smiled and asked, "What should you call me?" ”
Ning Zhiheng's face turned red and he whispered, "...... It's called Xia Qing's cousin. ”
"That's right." Ning Xia Qing showed a satisfied expression: "It seems that Cousin Zhiheng also thinks that the sixteen-year-old girl is no longer a child, so she can't be called by her name." Since my cousin Zhiheng has admitted it, please don't always deliberately treat me as a child, thus trying to deprive me of my qualification to be in charge of the family. ”
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Ning Zhiheng with angry faces, and Ning Zhiheng looked embarrassed.
Second Master Ning, who had been sitting quietly in the corner drinking tea, suddenly said impatiently: "When will this quarrel end?" Just let my aunt give me a happy word, just say yes or no. ”
Master Ning San glanced sideways: "What does the matter between Mulberry Garden and the shop have to do with you?" What are you interjecting? Besides, you've never been keen on taking care of the affairs of the clan on weekdays, so why did you come here today? Master Ning San deliberately said loudly: "Don't you want to take advantage of Yongda's death to rob and divide Yongda's family property?" I can tell you, my eldest brother and I will never allow anyone to take away what should belong to Yongda! ”
Second Master Ning sneered disdainfully, ignored Third Master Ning, and said to the old lady, "Auntie, just give me a happy word." Don't let the child die here, look at what these people have bullied the child into. ”
The old lady sighed, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Such a big matter, I have to think about it for a few days." ”
Second Master Ning said: "Yes, you have to think about it for a few days." ”
Seeing this, Master Ning San also knew that there was no hope of success today, so he had to say, "Auntie, just think about it." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Master Ning didn't even look at the old lady, didn't even say hello, got up and left, and Grandma Ning didn't say hello to the old lady, but blamed Ning Ningqing for saying "The child's family, why are you so ignorant", and then left.
Subsequently, many young people also left, including Ning Zhiheng, who had been looking at Ningxia Qing with a sinister eyebrow. Only Tan Wenshi stayed at the end.
Tan Wenshi walked up to her, frowned and said, "Don't worry, I will help you make some connections in the clan and try to make them less difficult for you." In fact, after Shopkeeper Ning left, I always wanted to come and have a look, but I never had the time to come, and I didn't have anything to do, I just wanted to come and see if you were okay. ”
"Thank you Tan Ye, we're fine." Ning Xia Qing raised his face and said with a smile: "I heard that Tan Ye's wedding date has been set, I am congratulating Tan Ye." ”
Tan Wenshi was stunned, his eyes gradually dimmed, he hesitated, opened his mouth slightly, but Ning Ningqing interrupted: "My grandma is not well, I helped my grandma to rest, I will not be far away." ”
Ning Xia Qing helped the old lady back to the house and sat down, helping the old lady to breathe.
"Grandma, take your breath."
"Alas......" the old lady lamented for a long time, "this is only the beginning ......"
Ning Xia Qing poured a cup of tea for the old lady, frowned and said: "Although I knew that the clan would come to force us, I didn't expect it to be such a big battle today, to be honest, I was really a little surprised when I saw them." ”
The old lady took the tea and said distressedly, "Qing'er, I have wronged you today." The old lady said angrily: "That group of people are also members of the clan, but they gang up to bully us, the old and the young, it's really shameless!" ”
Ning Xia Qing couldn't help but wonder: "Yes, they all have such identities, why do they have to join forces and force the door menacingly?" Our mulberry garden shouldn't be a fat meat for them, why did they force the door so shamelessly? ”
The old lady took a sip of tea and did not speak.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
Then she asked tentatively, "Grandma, is there any secret in our mulberry garden?" ”
She suddenly remembered that when she was killed in her previous life, she had mentioned to Tan Wenshi that she wanted to give Mulberry Garden to Zi'er as a dowry. Could it be that she was killed because of this mulberry garden?
She remembered that in her previous life, after she took the mulberry garden to marry Tan Wenshi, Tan Wenshi had handed over a lot of business in the shop to her, but never let her take care of the affairs of the mulberry garden.
Tan Wenshi said that the Mulberry Garden is located in a remote area, and there are few people around, so in order to avoid her hard work, she is only responsible for the business of the store. At that time, she regarded Tan Wenshi as a great benefactor, and she never questioned what Tan Wenshi said, so she really never asked about Sang Yuan.
In those ten years, she only vaguely heard Tan Wenshi accidentally mention a few words about the mulberry garden, saying that the mulberry garden is located in a lonely mountain, surrounded by rivers, and the climate is relatively special, so it can produce some special silk, as for what kind of silk it is, Tan Wenshi has not said, so she has always thought that it is just a slightly rare silk.
She only knew this, whether it was in her previous life or in her rebirth, she had never heard of any mystery in the Mulberry Garden.
She asked: "Grandma, is there a secret in our mulberry garden?" ”
The old lady sighed and said slowly, "Actually, I really don't know very well. I think the reason why the people of the clan came to ask for the mulberry garden with such fanfare may be because the mulberry garden is the foundation of the Ning clan, or because the mulberry garden once produced every inch of holy silk many years ago. ”
Ningxia Qing was puzzled: "Sacred silk? What is that? I've never heard of it. ”
"In your grandfather's generation, there were many differences between the brothers in the clan, so the mulberry garden was divided, and your grandfather got the mulberry garden that our family has now. Your grandfather's mulberry garden is in an excellent location, and hundreds of years ago, it was on that mulberry garden that the world-shocking holy silk was produced. The so-called holy silk color is nearly transparent, and it can emit different lusters under different lights, also known as glass silk. ”
