Chapter Seventy-Two: Regret
The flowing water banquet in Ning Yongchuan lasted for a total of three days and cost twenty taels of silver, which was the most beautiful banquet in the entire Dayang Village.
Not only the people from Dayang Village came to eat the banquet, but even the people from several surrounding villages also came to eat the banquet, after all, they had not eaten a few pieces of meat all year round, and they could eat a lot of meat here in the Ning family.
The Ning family is very generous, the food is sufficient, and there is a lot of meat, and the people who come to the banquet are full of oil, they want to eat more meat, but their stomachs can't hold so much meat.
The day after Ning Yongchuan's flowing water banquet was completed, the Xu clan launched.
Wen Po came quickly, when Wen Po saw that Xu was born a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, she let go of her uneasiness, you know, in Dayang Village, the family that gave birth to twins would send one of the children away, so as not to anger the ancestors and send heavenly punishment.
The fact that the Xu family gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses spread in Dayang Village, and when everyone heard it, they all said that the ancestral tomb of the Ning family was smoking, and some people also deliberately went to the ancestral tomb of the Ning family to walk around, just to get lucky.
When it was time to harvest the crops in the field, Ning Yongchuan took the red deed to the Ning family patriarch, took the Ning family patriarch to visit the land under his name, and said with a smile: "Patriarch, these are my land, and I shouldn't have to pay taxes." ”
The patriarch of the Ning family listened to Ning Yongchuan's words, his face turned green, you know, his son bought thirty acres of land, which was more than four hundred taels of silver.
"Patriarch, when I'm not at home, I want you to help take care of my family's fields." Ning Yongchuan looked at the Ning family patriarch with a look of trust and said, "Hey, I originally wanted to make more contributions to the clan, but I heard that there are many places to go to the capital." ”
The head of the Ning family was so ruined that his intestines were about to turn green, he was so full that he bought some land with Ning Zeren, this Ning family was obviously Ning Yongchuan's house, why was he blinded by lard at that time?
"It should be, it should be, don't worry, I will definitely let our people look good on this land, and I will sell it for money and let people send it to you." No matter how brainless the head of the Ning family is, he will not take the initiative to ask Ning Yongchuan for money, and he also knows in his heart that if Ning Yongchuan can get an official position in the capital in the future, the career of the children of the Ning family will be easy in the future.
Ning Yongchuan said a few more good words, and then he separated from the Ning family patriarch.
In fact, this is not the worst, the most devastating thing for the head of the Ning family, the recipe for the signature dish of the small restaurant opened by Ning Yongchuan's family was actually announced, saying that it was to celebrate Ning Yongchuan's entrance examination.
After hearing this, the patriarch of the Ning family almost didn't get angry, and hurriedly found his son and asked him to ask Ning Zeren for money.
The head of the Ning family is smoky here, but the Ning family is harmonious and thriving.
At night.
Ning Yongchuan and An Manyue took a shower and sat on the edge of the bed to wipe their hair.
"How's the Boss doing?" An Manyue looked at Ning Yongchuan with a smile, because the old daughter-in-law was going to be confined, she couldn't hear the gossip in the village.
"It shouldn't be good, listen to Lao Er, he is borrowing money everywhere now." Ning Yongchuan saw that his hair couldn't be dried, so he threw the towel aside, sat there reading a book and waited for his hair to dry naturally, "The hair is too long." ”
An Manyue's hair had already been wiped half-dry, and seeing that Ning Yongchuan's hair was still wet, he helped him wipe it and said, "If you don't wipe your hair dry, it will not be good for people's health." ”
Ning Yongchuan enjoyed An Manyue helping him wipe his hair, the corners of his mouth hooked up where she couldn't see, and his heart was warm.
The atmosphere of the two people is very good, and the three houses are not calm.
Because Ning Lao Er disliked the two children arguing, he went to sleep in Ning Lao's third room.
During the time that Ning Laoer was in the village, he didn't dare to say anything about Fucheng, and now he slept with the third child, and finally had the opportunity to tell what happened to his father and mother in Fucheng.
Ning Laosan was stunned and listened to what Ning Laosan said, his mouth pursed, and he said: "Second brother, you don't have to lie to me, who is not losing money, how can our mother be so powerful?" ”
"Hey, the third child, what you said is wrong, our mother is amazing, she treats people in the hospital, and she goes to the gambling house to earn a few thousand taels of silver casually, and our family also bought a yard in Fucheng!" Ning Lao Er saw that the third child still didn't believe it, so he raised his hand directly and swore an oath.
Countrymen generally don't dare to swear nonsense, Ning Laosan finally believed it this time, his eyes were about to pop out, and he said in disbelief: "Our family is so rich, big brother he ......"
"The third child, don't be like our eldest brother, he thinks he is very capable, fart, he is just a broken child, our father is a person, he took the first place in the exam, can the eldest brother be smarter than our father?" Ning Lao Er remembered that Ning Lao Er was stupid~forced~ look, snorted coldly, saw that the third child was frightened, and said, "Look at your little interest, this little thing is scared, you, you should learn from your second brother and me, look at me, unswervingly follow the footsteps of our father, you will never go wrong!" ”
Ning Laosan finally eased up, nodded vigorously, and said, "Yes!" ”
Of course, the second room is also very lively.
Xu because he couldn't see the child, so he asked the third daughter-in-law Su to come over to help take care of it, she was watched closely by An Manyue a few days ago, and no one spoke when she didn't go out.
Su Shi was really frightened at this moment, and it took a night to recover, and both eyes were black.
Morning.
An Manyue looked at Su's two panda eyes, and said to Ning Yongchuan on the side: "I'll go back to the town to buy a nurse to help my second daughter-in-law take care of the child." ”
It's a pity that Xu Shi is not here at this time, otherwise he would definitely jump up happily.
Li was a little envious of the old daughter-in-law, but she didn't dare to speak, for fear that her father would kick her and the child out of the house again.
"Well, that's up to you." Ning Yongchuan rarely manages these trivial matters, thanks to the fact that many people have sent silver over now, and the family will not be without silver.
"Okay." After An Manyue said, her eyes fell on the Li family and the Su family, and finally said, "Third daughter-in-law, you will go to the town with me in a while." ”
"Yes." Su responded timidly.
After the meal, the matter of washing the dishes was naturally done by the Li family, and An Manyue kicked the silver and went out with the Su family.
When she got to Renyazi, An Manyue began to pick people slowly, and finally selected four mothers-in-law, one to stay by her side, two of them took care of the children in the big room and the second room respectively, and the last mother-in-law took care of Ning Xueyu, Ning Zezhi and Zhang Zhiyuan's daily life.
An Manyue bought four more maids, two of them stayed by her side, and the remaining two younger ones were placed by Ning Xueyu's side.
She also bought two small servants to follow Ning Yongchuan, and also bought two younger scholars, one to follow Ning Zezhi and the other to follow Zhang Zhiyuan.
These people spent a total of one hundred taels of silver on An Manyue, she paid the money, and took them to buy some cloth and cotton, and then went back with the big stride.
On the way back to the village, the villagers saw that An Manyue had bought so many people, and their eyes were red with envy, and they couldn't even say words of jealousy, after all, Ning Yongchuan can be an official even if he doesn't participate in the Spring Festival.
The official must have a few subordinates waiting by his side.
An Manyue returned home, and after dividing the subordinates, let them name their subordinates, and took their own mother-in-law and two maids back to the house.
An Manyue is directly called Mama Zhou according to the surname of the mother-in-law, and as for the two maids, the older and more calm maid is called Agarwood, and the smaller and more lively maid is called Sanqi.
"Mama Zhou, you used to be a grandma in a big family?" These were all heard by An Manyue from Renyazi, and she was afraid that she would remember it wrong, so she asked again.
"Yes, the old slave used to be an errand boy in the capital, and when the master's family made a mistake, we were sold." Mama Zhou said respectfully.
At the beginning, An Manyue bought Mama Zhou because she was the mother of a big family, thinking that there must be a lot of things she didn't understand when she came here, so she could ask Mama Zhou a lot when the time came.
"In this case, please help Mama to pick these subordinates in the family well, we will go to Fucheng in half a month, I don't want them to make mistakes." An Manyue looked at Mama Zhou and said thoughtfully.
The kitchen is done by the maids and grandmothers in turns, which is quite fair.
An Manyue is much lighter now, and there is also time to take the third child's medical book.
Because there are many people in the Ning family, it is not a trivial matter to move the family, so everyone in the room began to pack up their things, take away what they can, and stay here if they can't.
In the second room, because of Xu's confinement, An Manyue told her to wait for the child to leave for two months, so as not to scare the child.
Xu knew that he was the only one left in the family, and there were people around him to serve him, so naturally he was not dissatisfied.
It didn't take half an hour for the news in the village to spread from the head of the village to the end of the village, and Ning Zeren learned that the Ning family was going to move to Fucheng, so he hurried back to Ning's house.
"Daddy!" Ning Zeren knelt down without saying a word when he saw Ning Yongchuan, all the silver he earned before was wanted back by the patriarch's son, and he still owed thirty taels of silver, and now he was penniless in his hand, "Dad, I am also your son, I ......"
What made Ning Zeren even more painful was that Liu Guawoman scolded him every day and disliked him, and said that he grew up eating soft rice.
Ning Zeren never thought that Liu Gua, who was gentle as water to him before, would become a shrew, and she was even less gentle and understanding than the Li family.
"Really?"
Ning Yongchuan looked at Ning Zeren coldly, and Ning Zeren's face turned pale with fright.
"Dad, you just spare me this time, I changed it, I really changed it, I won't dare to do it again!" Ning Zeren realized at this moment that his father knew everything he did, and the reason why he was so unlucky was just that his father casually moved a finger.
Thinking of this, Ning Zeren's back was cold and his scalp was numb, and he who had always been able to speak well was stuck at this moment.
Dad, it's terrible!
