Chapter 142 A Day of Disappointment (Asking for Support, Collection, Tickets, Subscriptions)
"Hmph, you're useless, slower than my young lady."
Liang Huiru was angry and could only take the girl out of anger.
The maid beside Liang Huiru could only bow her head, she was often scolded by the side of the second lady, she was used to it.
The second lady often thinks that one is one play, and her maid's head can't keep up with her pace.
Young Master Li Biao doesn't know how these two days? didn't come to the house again, and the second lady was not nervous, but went to chase a strange son.
******
Li Mingrui was on the side of Chancheng, and he had been fighting with that Feng Gongzi.
The two of them invite different martial arts halls every morning, and these two martial arts halls happen to be rivals, often robbing business, disciples, and lottery heads.
On the first day, the second day was such a fight, Li Mingrui was not convinced at all, that was only the son of a rich family who was born in Chancheng, why did he say that he was not qualified?
He is not inferior to others, why should he look down on him?
While Li Mingrui was not convinced, he was a little anxious, seeing that it had passed the New Year, the door of the Ding Mansion had not yet entered, and there was a-stirring stick beside him.
"Childe, let's go home first, and then plan this after the New Year, right?"
Steward Li actually wants to go back early, if he comes by Gongzi's Hu, maybe the New Year will also be here.
He couldn't make a difference, and even more importantly, the money he brought was almost the same.
If you invite the people of the martial arts hall again, stay in the guest house every day, eat and drink, and consume it, their pockets will be empty in two days.
"Let's go again tomorrow morning! If it doesn't work again, let's go back. ”
Li Mingrui felt that after spending so much money, there had to be a result.
In the past, he wasted money on the top girl in the Red Pavilion, but he was not as distressed as he is now, and the top girl would smile at him.
Drink with him and even play pipa tunes for him.
Now spending so much money in this strange land, but no benefit can be gained.
"Done, right?"
Steward Li had no choice but to listen to the princess's orders, and he personally went to invite the people from the martial arts hall.
……
Ding Ningmo has been in the room for the past two days, she is sitting on the windowsill of the room, and she can also hear the lively sound outside, and also hear the cheers of many people.
When the maids around them saw the unhappy face of the young lady, they walked quietly.
Ding Ningmo couldn't go out, couldn't calm down to do other things, and had nothing to do all day, she picked up a book and looked at the book of female rings.
This book was sent by her mother, and it was just to pass her time, and a young lady from a wealthy family like them would have been taught by her husband since she was a child, writing, drawing, and reading.
Their Ding family is also the same as other families, the teacher invited is a woman, and they are taught piano, poetry, calligraphy and painting, as well as female red.
As the daughter of the Ding family, she is very capricious, she only chooses piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the female celebrity is only a little, and she is born in a wealthy family and does not need to make her own clothes, but learns to make underwear, and some women will also learn to make wedding dresses and embroidery.
Ding Ningmo's favorite qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, if it weren't for her daughter's body, she would still want to take the road of the imperial examination.
I believe that her talent is not worse than that of men, but she gave birth to the wrong daughter.
"Miss, today is Xiao Nian, Madame ordered, as in previous years, all the people in the family will gather together for dinner."
"It's done!" Ding Ningmo doesn't care, where to eat, anyway, she doesn't eat much, but she can imagine that today's dinner is different from previous years, maybe she was laughed at by others when she was eating!
"It's cold outside, Miss, put on a cloak."
"Good"
Ding Ningmo was quiet beside the new maid beside her, and felt that such a person might not betray her like Chun'er.
Ding Ningmo dressed her at the maid, took her a hand stove, and walked gently to the large dining room of the main house, where the visiting family gathered.
When Ding Ningmo entered the dining room, many people in the family were already here, except for the side branches, all of them here were from his grandfather's generation, his grandfather's brothers, and their sons and grandchildren.
The sons born to my grandfather, the brothers of my father, and her brothers and sisters.
The grandfather sat at the same table as the men, and the men sat at several tables.
From the old to the young, it is suitable for their women to sit separately.
Ding Ningmo glanced at the side and found that his grandfather's face was dark, and his brothers, except for his father's serious expression, the others were all smiling.
Ding Ningmo found it, sat down in the place that belonged to her, and sat at the table with her, the concubines of the same generation, and the granddaughters born to the brothers of her grandfather.
When they saw Ding Ningmo, their faces that were whispering and laughing loudly just now paused, and they started chatting mysteriously again.
Ding Ningmo didn't care about them, she could already imagine when she came here, and some things would happen during the dinner, such as others laughing at her.
……
An old man, in this young age, she was like those old men of the same age, dressed more festively, and there was sarcasm in her eyes.
"Brother, you are enjoying your old age in peace, and the affairs of the family are handed over to your son, and you can't let the head of the family teach your children just for the sake of outside affairs."
It was Ding Ningmo's grandfather's brother who spoke, and they were secretly watching jokes these days.
His brother-in-law is old, and he also let them catch the handle, and they have the fun of watching the play.
"Hmph, our tutor is very good, it's just that some people are fanning the flames on the side, and the children in our family are so good.
It would have been a blessing for someone to come and ask for a kiss, but some people, his grandchildren didn't ask. ”
Ding Ningmo's grandfather, the former head of the family, will not joke to his brothers when he reaches the age of retirement.
"Hmph, if such a person asks for a kiss, it's better not to ask for it."
"That is, what kind of family are we? It will actually make a storm in the city, and give others after-dinner conversations. ”
These are all fifty or sixty-year-old people, their white hair and white beard are firm, and they are angry and bickering.
Ding's father is also a brother here, and he speaks some sarcastic language to him, as a member of the family, there have always been people who want to sit in this position.
"My daughter is so good, those people are not qualified to ask for marriage, it's just a little trick, then they will rest in a few days, as long as the people in the family don't fan the flames."
"What do you say? We are all people with children, and we just hope that everyone is well. ”
These people have never been able to get the position of the family, they are very selfish to save private money, and some of them spend all their time drinking and dare not offend the head of the family.
……
Ding's mother sat together with some of her colleagues' women, although these people were not sarcastic, their eyes and expressions were laughing at her.
She didn't see it, who has no children? Look at who laughs at whom?
Those women have actually been envious and jealous of the housewife for so many years, and they have a lot of money and water, and they still have the right to speak.
It's not like they don't have any right to speak, they are like invisible rice worms at home, and the husband at home still spends all day drinking, and they can't manage it if they don't go home for a day.
How can you really be lucky for Ding's mother, she married a more dedicated man, although there are concubines in the family, and the head of the family is very good to the housemother.
