120. Signs

Although I feel very face-saving, but taking into account Nala's feelings, the Tong family still restrained a little, and no longer showed off her daughter's ability.

Shuning has been following Tong's orders these days, listening more and watching more, and talking less. After watching the process of these three wives, she really learned a lot of things. Although there are usually Tong's teachings, a "small household" of thirty or forty people, compared with a large mansion of several hundred people, things are of course not so complicated, and if the usual housekeeping management is compared to the administrative, personnel and logistics work in modern enterprise management, the housework before and after the Chinese New Year is more public relations.

This happens to be what Shuning is not good at. In the past, listening to my mother's housekeeper and giving gifts to friends or my father's bosses and colleagues during the New Year and holidays were actually trivial. In carrying out public relations activities, this big family should not only pay attention to the different gifts, but also pay attention to the relationship between the people who receive the gifts. For example, if the wife of a certain country is weak and the concubine is strong, when giving gifts, the concubine must be satisfied, but it must not go beyond the main wife; Another example is that two adults have a similar relationship with Jin Bao, but there are contradictions between each other, and the gifts given to the two families must not make the two of them feel favoritism. Etcetera.

Shuning felt that this was too a headache, where did she remember the situation of living in so many households, so she could only sit and watch the situation of the chief manager Wu Xindeng carrying the various mansions in Beijing very strongly. She kind of understood, she didn't seem to have any special skills when she looked at this housekeeper before, but in fact, she had great skills, and sure enough, the people who could sit in such an important position were not ordinary people.

Tong probably also saw that his daughter didn't understand these things, and frowned. Thinking that she was still young, he was no longer reluctant and let her retreat first. Shuning secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He bowed and retired.

Wan Ning ran away yesterday, and the Nala clan saw that she really couldn't help. I release people cheerfully, too.

Shuning was about to go back to the courtyard, before turning onto the path, after thinking about it, she turned to the bamboo courtyard. She went to see Fang Ning the day after she returned, and the other party received her happily. It's just that these days she found that Fang Ning seemed to have something on her mind, and she often started to be in a daze when she spoke, asking her what was wrong, and she only said that it was okay.

But how could Shuning not see that Sister Lobby was troubled? It's just that although Aunt Chen is sick again, she has gotten a lot better, so what else does Fang Ning have to worry about? But since the other party didn't want to say, she didn't ask questions, but just went to talk with her when she had time, so that Fang Ning could be relieved.

When I was about to walk to the bamboo courtyard. She found that a few girls were hiding behind the bushes and whispering, it seemed that Fang Ning's girl was talking to others about her girl's thoughts, and her heart moved. She sat down on a stone chair beside the road to rest, and a bush beside her obscured her figure. The girls didn't find out.

Listen, listen, listen. Shuning couldn't help but be taken aback.

It turned out that at the end of November, the second sister-in-law, the family of the Hitara clan, came to visit. It was once mentioned that a relative of her family intended to remarry a wife, and inquired about Fang Ning's affairs, knowing that the girl was actually innocent and of good character, so she wanted to explore the Earl's Palace.

Fang Ning is about to be seventeen years old, it is the time to get married, and when she finishes her filial piety, she will be too old, if she can book it as soon as possible, of course it is good. However, Nala considered that she was not her own child, and she had to ask Jin Bao what he meant, so she found a way to diverge, thinking that she would tell her husband first and send someone to inquire about the other party's situation.

Who knew that the result of the inquiry was not very good. That was originally the son of an aunt of the Hitara family, surnamed Shu Mulu, who was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, although he was the son of everyone, but because of the early death of his father, the family was not as good as before. His mother pawned the dowry jewelry, so he got a small position in the cabinet classics (Qipin), but this person has no ambitions, and he can't drill camps, and he hasn't been promoted to a higher level for five or six years.

He used to marry a wife, but he was the right person in Yemen, and he was quite beautiful, but he was more spicy. Seeing that her husband was unproductive, she always scolded him, and even her mother-in-law didn't pay attention to her, making the family unhappy. Later, the wife's maiden brother was promoted to the fourth grade, so he found some people out of nowhere to make trouble and forced his brother-in-law to divorce his wife. After arguing for several months, in the end, the mother sent a message and asked the man to write a letter of resignation.

Three months later, the ex-wife married a local magistrate to fill the house, and on the day of the wedding, she sat in a sedan chair and passed by her ex-husband with gongs and drums. The neighbors said that she had gone too far, but the man persuaded others not to speak ill of her, and everyone said that he was a soft egg, bullied by a woman to the head, and did not even let out a fart.

Knowing this, Nala frowned. Although the other party has a good temper, if Fang Ning really marries, he will not be angry, but this person's official position is too low, his temperament is too soft, and his family background is not good. However, thinking that it would be difficult for Fang Ning to marry into a good family, the Nala clan didn't know what to do, so he asked Jin Bao what he meant.

Jin Bao didn't have anything, but he felt that the other party's official position was lower, and after the two couples discussed, they decided to wait and see for a while, after all, they were still in filial piety.

This was the private calculation of the husband and wife, and I don't know which girl was talkative, and revealed to Aunt Chen that someone had come to propose marriage, but as soon as Aunt Chen heard that she was a man with no future and no use, she immediately fainted, and when she woke up, she cried in front of Nala, begging her not to marry her daughter into such a family, and knelt down and kowtowed several times. Nala was so angry that he scolded the mouthy Yahuan mother-in-law, and then comforted Aunt Chen and said that she would never let Fang Ning indiscriminately.

After Wan Ning heard about it, she also vigorously objected, and she also inquired about a lot of news that was unfavorable to that person from her second sister-in-law. Seeing that there were so many people who objected, when he came back to be a guest at his in-laws' house, he deduced that the family was still keeping filial piety and didn't want to mention it, so he shirked the matter. It's just that she spoke very carefully, Shunning had just received help from the Yue family, and she got a position in the Arsenal, and she took office in a few years, and now she must not offend their family.

I heard that the aunt of the Hitara clan was a little disappointed with the result, so she had to find another candidate for a mild-mannered daughter-in-law.

Fang Ning had heard about these things a long time ago, but it was not easy to ask more. Aunt Chen's illness was almost well, but this trouble recurred, and Fang Ning was busy taking care of her mother. He also worries about his marriage, and is often depressed.

When Shuning heard this, she sighed. It alarmed the maids behind the bushes. She pretended to be casual and said, "The shoes are a little narrow, so I only walked a few steps." I feel tired. Big sister can be found in Dream Control full text reading home? I was about to gossip with her. ”

The girls whispered that Fang Ning was there, and Shu Ning went to the courtyard with a smile.

Fang Ning was indeed in the house, but Wan Ning was also there. She has been coming to see her sister a lot recently, and she probably knows that Fan Jinchun and Fang Ning are impossible, so she didn't mention it again. It's just that after the previous events, she really knew the difficulties of the eldest sister's marriage, the family background was too poor and she was unwilling, and the family background was too good but she wouldn't marry, so she found another way to ask Qiaoyun to buy the little guy who went out with money, and went to inquire about the children of the middle aristocracy who were not in Beijing.

Recently, as the New Year approaches, many of the children of many families will return to Beijing for the New Year, which just gives Wanning a chance. I know a lot about young men. She told Aunt Chen and Fang Ning about these things, Fang Ning was nothing, and Aunt Chen was very happy to hear it. It's just that she's still sick. I don't have a good spirit, I can't talk for too long. So Wan Ning spoke to the object. It's usually Fangning.

Fang Ning was a little restless when she heard this, and Shu Ning saw that she was uncomfortable. looked for an opportunity to divert the topic, turned around, and went around to the female red needlework. Fang Ning is actually not good at needlework, but she is much better than Wan Ning, as soon as she heard Shu Ning's words, she knew that she was solving the siege for herself, and she hurriedly took out her sewing basket and echoed.

Wan Ning didn't run away this time, and asked Yahuan to take her latest work with some pride. When Shuning saw it, it turned out that she used various colors of fabric to cut into different shapes, put together the patterns and then sew the hem with needle and thread, which seemed to be a popular practice in the modern 80s for a while.

These things are indeed more beautiful, and Wan Ning is decorated with all kinds of ribbon lace, the whole needlework looks very visible, but it is a bit tricky, but Wan Ning herself is very proud.

Shuning praised a few words, and also made a suggestion: "I returned to Beijing for the first time that year and gave my second sister a pillow. Since my sister knows, why don't you try to do more? "She hasn't done ribbon embroidery for a long time, and not many people know about it, so this gorgeous embroidery method should be of help to Wanning in terms of female redness, right? After all, female popularity is not something that can be made quickly in a short period of time. Wanning's eyes lit up: "You reminded me, there are so many ribbons anyway, and they can be used." I'm going to try it, and I'm going to make sure it's better than you. ”

Fang Ning glanced up at her, then at Shuning, and saw that Shuning didn't mean anything dissatisfied, so she bowed her head silently and ate tea.

Shuning didn't have any ideas, even if Wanning made ribbon embroidery, her attainments in female celebrity were still not as good as herself, but if she continued to be so deflated, she would be very blind. I am the dividing line between heaven and earth for the sacrifice

On the day of the festival, many relatives and clansmen came. The three couples of the large, third and fourth rooms are busy greeting guests and are very busy.

Jin Bao had already sent someone to send a letter to Xingbao's family, and after urging him two or three times, Xingbao finally determined the date to come. They will stay in the Earl's Court for a few days, and they will still live in the Peach Courtyard. After the family moved out, this courtyard was originally arranged for Qingning and his wife and concubines to live in, but it didn't move in until the new year, so it is still empty.

Xingbao arrived at the Earl's Court with his family, but he was wearing the official uniform of Cong Wupin. Zhang Bao and Rong Bao stood in front of the door to greet them, they were a little surprised when they saw them, and then looked at the female dependents who got off the car behind, although Suo Xue Luo was wearing dark blue clothes, he was dressed luxuriously, and his head was full of delicate silver jewelry; Even the white cheongsam worn by Yuanning is covered with embroidery on the cuffs and hem; Looking at those little concubines or something, as if they were afraid that others would not know that their family was rich.

Zhang Bao and Rong Bao glanced at each other, and they both frowned slightly, but they soon put on a smiling face again, welcomed the elder brother's family into the inner courtyard, and finally reported to the eldest brother, when they talked about Xingbao's abnormal appearance, they were puzzled. Rong Bao said: "The second brother, who has always valued the most important status, would actually wear the title of the fourth grade, but go to wear the official uniform of the fifth grade, it is really strange." ”

Jin Bao sighed and said, "I just heard some rumors before, but now I can finally confirm it." Rong Bao hurriedly asked what was going on, and Jin Bao said: "I heard that the second child climbed to the crown prince and made a vacancy in the Internal Affairs Office. He came in an official uniform today, presumably to show off, right? Rong Bao frowned, Zhang Bao said: "No matter what he plans, there are so many people today, presumably he won't make trouble, let's treat each other well first, and see what he says." ”

Jin Bao and Rong Bao nodded, their faces a little solemn.

However, Xingbao spoke kindly, and there was a smile on his face, but there was a faint smugness in his words, which made people uncomfortable to listen to. But the three brothers were not stunned, so they followed his meaning and praised two sentences, and secretly showed Jin Bao's prestige as the head of the family and a high-ranking official.

Suo Xue Luo has probably been in the position of the main mother for several months, and has increased some self-cultivation, although there are still some engraved books in his speech, but he has not done anything out of the ordinary. Cheng Ning had been separated from his cousins for a long time, and he had already dragged people away, leaving Wei Ning in the hall to accompany his father in a daze.

But Yuan Ning's side is a little different. She is now very prodigious in her every move, and she is not shy about the maids, and she often unconsciously raises her chin in the face of her cousins. Others are nothing, Wan Ning was extremely uncomfortable when she saw it, and sarcastically and secretly sarcastically said a few words to her, Yuan Ning was annoyed by her, and was about to scold, but for some reason she stopped and smiled a little weirdly: "Second sister doesn't seem to be in a good mood?" I heard that the fifth elder brother is not here recently? The second sister must be very unhappy, right? ”

Shu Ning sighed secretly, the two sisters' P started again, she got up and sat down next to Fang Ning, the two glanced at each other, and both silently bowed their heads and drank tea.

Wan Ning frowned and said, "He has to prepare for the training of joining the army, he is very busy, and it is normal not to come." Besides, what does it matter if he doesn't come or not? ”

Yuan Ning hooked the corners of her mouth: "Is he busy?" But I obviously heard from the two elder brothers that he only went to the camp in Jingxi with a few noble children a few days ago, and he was quite idle, but he didn't have time to come to you. Second sister, you seem to have fallen out of favor. ”

Wan Ning's brows furrowed even tighter, and she snorted lightly, "Nonsense", and turned her head away. Yuan Ning continued: "But sister, I've been quite busy recently, and I have been in the palace to play once with the grace of the prince." ”

Wan Ning tugged at the corners of her mouth and said, "Oh? So you climbed up to the crown prince? What a stroke of luck. There was a hint of disdain in his words. Yuan Ning didn't care, but continued: "And I'm very lucky, I also met Concubine Yi and Concubine De. Aren't the two of them the biological mothers of the fourth and fifth elder brothers? ”
