Chapter 513: Proceedings in the Cafeteria
Today's lunch was relatively dull, and when I heard that Fan Ning wanted to go overseas again, the family was a little dissatisfied, and Zhu Pei and Ouyang Qian's dissatisfaction was not shown on their faces, but Zhang Sanniang fired directly at her son.
"What do you want to do, your son is just over a year old, he just called his father, and his daughter is only three years old, just when he needs his father's love, but you slapped your ass and ran away, leaving a family behind, and going overseas, and when you come back, the grass on my grave is a foot high."
Zhang Sanniang was really angry, the two daughters-in-law were still so young, so they were left at home to be widowed, are you still a qualified husband? Even his father is not as good as him, when his father opened a medical clinic in Mudu Town, and he knew that he rushed home every night, how could this son be irresponsible at all?
Fanning is still counting on the support of his family! As a result, he was first reprimanded by his mother, and he said it so badly that he didn't say a word with a straight face.
Zhu Pei and Ouyang Qian exchanged a look, and Zhu Pei spoke, "Mother-in-law, my husband has ambitions in his chest and wants to make a career, as a family member, we should support it, but I think there is actually a way to solve it, for example, when my husband was in Kunzhou, I also followed, my husband has a career, and his family is also very successful, the best of both worlds!" Of course, there are more people in the family now, but there will always be a solution, what do you think? ”
Zhu Pei was ostensibly persuading her mother-in-law, but in fact she was secretly demonstrating Ning, don't want to fly alone and leave us in the capital.
Ouyang Qian also cooperated in time: "To be honest, we are not inseparable from the capital, we live very well in Jiangnan, Zhen'er was born in Jiangnan, and later in Yingtianfu, everyone also lives happily, I think the key is to be a family together, as for where to live?" It doesn't really matter. ”
Juppey quietly kicked Ado next to him again, and Ado hurriedly said, "I support the two sisters-in-law, the key is to be together as a family, it doesn't matter where you live!" ”
Fan Ning saw them singing and harmonizing, so he had to sigh and said: "The key is that I want to go to Nanyang this time, Nanyang is not like Kunzhou, Nanyang is hot, and there are many dangers, so I can't take you with me when I go to sea, at most the family will move to Quanzhou, and the overseas Jingluo Mansion is there, so even if we are separated for a short time, it will be a month or two, and I will be in Quanzhou most of the time." ”
"Then move to Quanzhou!" Zhang Sanniang, as an elder, has the final word.
Everyone reached a consensus, and the dining table immediately became lively, discussing Quanzhou, Zhu Pei asked Jian Meizi, "Sister Jian, you have been to Quanzhou, how is Quanzhou?" ”
There are actually people here who have been to Quanzhou, everyone's eyes are looking at Jian Meizi, Jian Meizi blushed and said: "I still went with the master when I was a child, and stayed there for a year, I remember that the weather there is very good, neither cold nor hot, especially in winter, it is not hot in summer, the climate is much more comfortable than in Beijing, that is, it is a little more humid, in addition, Quanzhou is very prosperous, it feels much more prosperous than Mingzhou, and all kinds of strange things can be bought." ”
"Are there any monkeys?" Fan Zhen'er interjected and asked.
Everyone laughed all of a sudden, and Ouyang Qian glared at her daughter, "You are not allowed to play with a little monkey, it will scratch your face." ”
Fan Zhen'er's eyes showed a look of fear, and she said timidly: "Little rabbits and little squirrels are okay!" ”
Jian Meizi smiled: "There are a lot of flowers in Quanzhou, and there are also a lot of small animals, you will like it!" ”
"Okay!" Zhen'er clapped her hands with joy, and suddenly she anxiously asked her father again, "Daddy, is there a mountain over there?" ”
Fanning knew that the mountain that her daughter cared about was not the mountains around the city, but the small hill at home, Fanning smiled: "As long as Zhen'er goes, there must be!" ”
I really didn't care about eating, so I ran out excitedly to find the nurse.
Ouyang Qian whispered to her husband: "Don't make a promise to her now, what if you don't?" ”
"If not, let's build one!"
Fanning has always had no bottom line for his daughter's requirements.
Zhang Sanniang suddenly remembered something again, "A Ning, Mingren and Mingli seem to be in Quanzhou!" ”
Fan Ning nodded and smiled: "The two of them are in Quanzhou, and they are already the number one sea merchants in Quanzhou, since the whole family is going to Quanzhou, I will write a letter first and ask them to help keep an eye on the residence first." ”
Zhu Pei also said: "The Zhu family's business in Fuzhou and Quanzhou is also very large, and the Zhu family money shop alone has three branches in Quanzhou, and my second uncle is based in Quanzhou, husband, do you think it is necessary to open a fourth money shop in Quanzhou?" ”
Fan Ning understood what his wife meant, the Zhu money shop in Quanzhou had nothing to do with them, it belonged to the Zhu family, and his wife was referring to the Zhu money shop in the capital to Quanzhou.
Fan Ning thought for a while and said, "There's no need to open a fourth one, you can buy one." ”
Zhu Pei smiled: "Then I will write to my grandfather!" ”
Fan Ning is not worried that Zhu Yuanfu will not agree, he is now a high-ranking official of the third grade, the title is already the prince of the second grade, and he has actually sealed five hundred households, with his current power, let alone buy a Zhu money shop, as long as he opens his mouth, the Zhu family will immediately give it away, not a penny.
The family's lunch started on a dull start and ended happily.
..
Two days later, the New Year of the eighth year of Huangyou arrived in a sad situation, but the arrival of the New Year, the natural festive atmosphere still diluted the sad atmosphere of the death of many emperors, and the business was supposed to stop during the New Year, so the closure of the hundred cities for a few days did not affect the lives of the people.
A heavy snowfall on the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve soon turned the entire capital into a world of snow, and the laughter of children added a bit of joy to the New Year, and from Chinese New Year's Eve, firecrackers began to be abandoned in various parts of the capital.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Fanning stayed at home to accompany his family, he took his daughter to climb the hills in the house, carrying a big bag in his hand, which contained all kinds of dried fruits, chestnuts, hazelnuts, pine cones, wheat cakes, etc., although Fanning explained to his daughter for a long time that the little squirrel, the little rabbit and the little hedgehog would have food for the winter, but he still couldn't resist his daughter's tears, and personally came to bring food to the small animals.
"Really, let's put the food in the pavilion, it can't be covered by snow, they will eat it themselves."
"Are they cold or not, do you want to put two pieces of clothing?" Zhen'er asked with red eyes.
Fanning smiled dumbly, and patiently explained, "Are they all wearing leather jackets? You see that the little squirrel is covered in hair, and the little rabbit is, the hair is very long, and it will not be cold in winter. ”
"What about the little hedgehog? It has no hair. ”
"The little hedgehog is hiding at home and sleeping warmly! They have to sleep for a winter and wake up in the spring, and we have a lot of food here, and they can't go hungry. ”
Fanning pointed to a chestnut tree and a walnut tree, which had been transplanted a few months ago, and five fruit trees had been transplanted, but in the end only these two fruit trees survived, and there were still a lot of unfinished fruits hanging on the chestnut trees.
Fanning was under the chestnut tree, and in a moment she picked up a large number of chestnuts, and now Zi Zhen'er was finally relieved, she put the food she brought in the pavilion, and followed her father back.
Her mother Ouyang Qian is busy packing up her things, she is going to visit her father tomorrow, it is the first time her husband has come to the door, she knows that tomorrow the house will definitely be lively, her father's large group of students will come to the door to pay New Year's greetings, the eldest brother's family will also come, and the two younger sisters and three younger brothers who have been married, she will prepare gifts.
Ouyang Qian is now worth a lot of money, when she got married, she had five hundred taels of gold and twenty pearls that Fan Ning gave her as a dowry, and then the monthly money was the same as Zhu Pei, all of which were three hundred yuan, and later after she gave birth to Fan Zhen'er, Fan Ning gave her 30,000 yuan and thousands of acres of land, and there were two other houses, one of which she handed over to her father and handed over to her eldest brother, and she kept the big house for herself, she felt that she would give birth to a son and was ready to leave it to her son.
Of course, Ouyang Qian couldn't be as generous as the first time she came to the door, giving her father 3,000 yuan at a time, and this time she was mainly giving a small gift.
At this time, Fanning took his daughter back to the courtyard, Ah Zhen handed it over to the nurse, and he himself went into his wife's room.
"Finally convinced the little one!"
Fan Ning entered the door and smiled: "She wanted to bring squirrels and rabbits to Quanzhou, and I explained to her that there are peach trees, pear trees, apricot trees, pine trees, chestnut trees, walnut trees at home, and there are so many mushrooms on the hills, enough for these small animals to eat, and she finally figured it out." ”
Ouyang Qian sighed and said: "You are too doting on her, even pampered, you are not so good to Jing'er, Ah Pei will feel uncomfortable." ”
"You don't understand this, the daughter has to be spoiled, the son has to be beaten, when she grows up, the daughter will not be tempted by the money outside, and the son will be more energetic, or you have another son, I will definitely not spoil him like Zhen'er."
"I want to give birth!"
Fanning's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Since you want to live, you have to act, and it's useless to talk about it." ”
"Go! Go! Go! ”
Ouyang Qian pushed her husband away and complained to him, "It's broad daylight, what are you thinking?" ”
Fanning was just joking, his daughter would rush in at any moment, he sat next to him and asked, "Have you chosen all the gifts?" ”
Ouyang Qian said with a distressed face: "I plan to give each of my children and several younger siblings a pearl, but I haven't thought of the gifts for my father and eldest brother yet." ”
Fan Ning smiled slightly, "I will prepare the gift of my father-in-law, and your eldest brother will also be considered by me, as for the Xue family, my mother plans to give her ten pieces of lake silk and a set of gold jewelry, I think it's about the same." ”
"I don't want to give her anything about that woman." Ouyang Qian said hatefully.
Fanning comforted her: "I hate her too, but the etiquette can't be abolished, according to the rules of my hometown, my mother just gives her a gift." ”
"Then what are you going to give my dad a gift?"
"Of course, it is Tian Huangshi and the official kiln tea set, I have three of the best Tian Huangshi in my study, not even Zhang Yaozuo, I will send one to your father as a seal, a set of official kiln Ru porcelain, plus ten catties of dragon tea, your eldest brother I also gave him a piece of high-grade Tian Huangshi and a set of official kiln Jun porcelain tea cup."
This time, the Zhang Yaozuo brothers were killed, and the Zhang brothers were investigated for the crime of rebellion, and all the family properties of Zhang Yaozuo and Zhang Yaocheng were confiscated into the inner treasury, and the inner treasury was recorded with more than one million yuan of money, making a big fortune.
In recognition of Fan Ning's meritorious service, Empress Dowager Cao and Empress Dowager Gao rewarded Fan Ning with 50,000 taels of silver, ten sets of official kiln porcelain, 200 catties of dragon tea, and a large number of jewelry and Zhang Yaozuo's Chengxi Manor, which covers an area of 100 hectares.
Ouyang Qian was happy in her heart, these baby fathers liked them, but unfortunately he didn't have any of them.
