Rebirth of First Daughter

Time flies, three years in a flash.

Ning Zhan looked at Ruhui and asked with a smile, "second sister, what's the matter with you?"

Ruhui sighed and said, "in three months, mengranxi will get rid of filial piety." A filial piety, will certainly come to discuss the date of marriage. She will be married by the end of this year at the latest.

"Second sister, you are 20 years old after the new year. Don't you want to marry?" At this age, she is already an old girl. If it is not for Ruhui's engagement, it's just that filial piety has been delayed, and people will laugh at her when she goes out.

Ruhui said, "it's more comfortable to be a girl at home. Why get married?" It's a lot of trouble to get married, and there are so many people in the Meng family. There are many people, many right and wrong. Although she has not married yet, Ruhui has realized it.

Ning Zhan said with a smile: "the court has a law. If a girl is over 20 years old and doesn't get married, she will get a tax." In the previous dynasty, when they were 18 years old and did not marry, their parents would be punished. In the Ming Dynasty, this law was changed, the age was extended by two years, and then the war responsibility was changed to the punishment of money.

Not to mention Anyang Bofu, even she can afford the money herself. But the problem is that she would have to cry to death if she didn't marry Xiao. Of course, it's not that Ruhui doesn't want to get married. She just feels uncomfortable getting married.

Ning Zhan looked at her sad face and said with a smile, "if you don't live well in Meng's house, you will come back to live for a few days."

Ruhui said angrily, "I want to come back. My mother can't talk about me! Some time ago, the elder sister came back to live for two more days, and she was driven back by her mother. "

Xiao left the capital for more than five years. Ruyi missed her so much that she brought her two sons to live for a while. After living for three days, I was persuaded to go back by Xiao.

Ning Zhan said with a smile: "nonsense. I'm willing to drive my elder sister away. I wish she could live more days. " It's just that Ruyi's two sons are Mrs. Peng's lifeblood. It's not good not to see them for a day. In the past few days, Mrs. Peng has made her confidants run to Ning's home four or five times a day. She is afraid that there is something wrong with his two good grandchildren. Xiao Shi sees this, can only let Ruyi go back.

Ruyi married Peng family, and Peng Kangshun husband and wife love, and gave birth to two sons and mother-in-law love. I don't know how happy my life is. The only trouble is that Mrs. Peng dotes on her two children too much.

Ruhui waved her hand and said, "forget it. Ah Zhan, I'm going to the East Street tomorrow. I'll buy you what you want. " Ruhui is in charge of the shop at home, but the income from the shop is directly paid into the public account, and she doesn't touch it. However, the government allocates a sum of money to the inner court every year to meet the expenses of the inner court. She and Ning Zhan are the two masters in the back yard. Ning Zhan is not at home most of the time, and the expenses are not high. As for the extra money, Ruhui will not have any money left in the account by the end of the year, either buying new jewelry or beautiful clothes.

Ning Zhan shook his head and said, "I have nothing to buy." Ning Zhan was admitted to Qianwei camp at the beginning of the year. He came back only after two days off. But tomorrow he wants to get together with Qiyou and Xu Chengze, so he has no time to go shopping with Ruhui.

In fact, the richest man in Anyang Bofu is Ning Zhan, not Ruhui. Because he can go to the cashier to pay, and there is no upper limit.

The next day, Ruhui takes her maid to the East Street to buy things. Xiao had a lot to do, so he didn't go with him.

To the East Street, the first stop of Ruhui is the gold and silver jewelry shop opened by Qiyou. Now this jewelry shop has become the first choice for ladies in Beijing to buy jewelry. Because the jewelry inside is not only novel in style, diverse in variety, but also excellent in workmanship. Of course, these jewelry prices are not cheap.

Ruhui will patronize her every three to five times. My friend is very familiar with her. Soon, she was led to the box.

After a while, the shopkeeper sent more than ten kinds of jewelry.

Ruhui picked out a pair of flower pattern Blue Earrings and an emerald bracelet.

The shopkeeper praised Ruhui's good taste, and then said, "two girls, the earrings are thirty taels of silver, and the bracelets are five hundred and fifty taels of silver." This is the price after 20% discount, otherwise it will cost more than 700 taels of silver.

After paying, Ruhui goes out with her maid. As soon as I got out of the box, I saw the great grandmother of the Meng family and three girls of the Meng family choosing jewelry.

There are ten men and twelve girls in the Meng family. Now, the third generation has been born one after another. The Ning family can't compete with Ding Zhiwang.

As the new year approaches, every family will buy new jewelry and clothes for their girls. Qiyou jewelry shop doesn't provide door-to-door service because of the short supply of things. If you want to buy jewelry, you must come to the shop.

Seeing Ruhui, Granny Meng walked up to her with a smile and said, "I didn't expect you to buy brothers today. I knew I would have asked you out."

Ruhui is from the second room and has no conflict of interest with her. In addition, Ruhui is a girl from Anyang Bofu, and she is famous for her money. Naturally, she has a good heart.

Ruhui said with a smile: "I also feel bored at home this morning, so I came out to have a look."

The five girls of the Meng family said with a smile, "I really envy my third sister-in-law. If you want to come out, you can come out." Meng Wu is the first girl of the third room. The girl in the second room is still filial, so she won't go shopping.

Ruhui didn't even look at her. She said to granny Meng, "Granny, I have to take a step in advance. You look at it slowly."

After waiting for Ruhui to leave, Granny Meng looked at Miss Meng Wu and didn't say much.

Until she picked out the jewelry and got on the carriage, Granny Meng said to her in a soft voice: "Miss Ning Er hasn't passed the door yet. It's not too late for the third sister-in-law to wait for her to pass the door."

Meng Wu said unhappily, "she will have to go through in a few months. What does it matter now?"

Granny Meng took a look at her. She was really not worldly. You'll be called the third sister-in-law before you get through. I don't know. I thought Ning Er hated to marry! However, Granny Meng didn't elaborate. She just said, "the second room hasn't removed filial piety, and miss Ning Er hasn't come through. It's not proper for you to call her that way."

Meng Wu sipped her mouth and didn't speak.

Ruhui went out of the jewelry shop and went to the silk shop. Unfortunately, she didn't see the right material.

Xiao just received the post of Zhongyong Hou Fu, thinking about what gift to give, he saw Ruhui come back.

"Why did you come back so early today?" Ruhui has an extraordinary passion for shopping. Every time I go out, I always come back in the afternoon. And I'm not tired after wandering for so long. This will go out for more than an hour to come back, no wonder Xiao feels strange.

Ruhui said with a smile: "it's boring to walk alone, so I'll come back. By the way, mother, I bought you a bracelet. It's very beautiful. You'll look good on it. "

Xiao's wrist only wore a string of Buddhist beads, and did not wear other accessories. If not, Ruhui would not buy her a bracelet.

Looking at the bracelet, Xiao asked, "it's not cheap. How much did it cost?" Xiao has a lot of jewelry, the best Jade also has several sets. She only wears jewelry when she goes out to socialize. She doesn't wear jewelry at home on weekdays.

Hearing the 552 silver bracelet, Xiao poked Ruhui's forehead and said, "Ruhui, you can't be so extravagant after you get married."

Seeing that Xiao wanted to return the money to her, Ruhui held Xiao's arm and said, "Niang, my shop has made a lot of money in recent years. This bracelet is your daughter's filial piety. " The two shops have earned nearly ten thousand taels of silver in the past three years.

In fact, Ruhui is good to enjoy, but it's not a person without success. Half of the money she earned was spent, and the other half was used by her to buy land and mountains.

Xiao said with a smile, "OK, I'll take this bracelet. However, we can't spend money indiscriminately in the future. "

Mother daughter chats, chats, chats and then turns to Ning Zhan's body. Xiao said: "ah Zhan is seventeen years old after his new year's end, and his marriage has not yet been settled."

In fact, as soon as Xiao came back, many people inquired about her. Although Xiao said that the marriage of Ning Zhan and a Zhan had to be decided by the queen, Xiao was his mother. As long as she falls in love, she will ask the queen to marry her, and the result will be the same.

Ruhui said with a smile: "Niang, ah Zhan won't be sixteen until the middle of next year. Don't worry."

"I'm afraid the queen is too busy to forget it."

"Niang, how can the empress forget such a big thing. Besides, there is the fourth prince, who will remind the empress. " If the empress's memory is so poor, how to manage such a big country? Ruhui thinks that Xiao is completely worrying about it. In fact, Xiao is not worrying about it, but eager to have a grandson.

Ruhui looked at Xiao's languid appearance, then thought about the more invitation recently. For the sake of safety, she said: "mother, I tell you, you should not interfere in ah Zhan's marriage, let alone look at other people's girls."

Xiao said angrily, "I'm ah Zhan's mother. What's wrong with the girl? If the empress forgets, I will not delay ah Zhan if I fall in love with her. "

Ruhui rolled her eyes: "Niang, have you forgotten the Mao family and the Chen family? Your eyes, not to mention me and my elder sister, even my father and ah Zhan can't believe it. If not, my father will not ask the empress to find a daughter-in-law for ah Zhan. "

"I'll make a good inquiry this time."

Ruhui said: "Niang, don't blame me for not reminding you. If you marry a home stirring spirit for ah Zhan. At that time, not only father, but also ah Zhan will blame you. "

Xiao said, "if I don't go to see each other, it's not possible." When he said this, he was very sad. She has three children, and as a result, she is not in charge of any marriage.

Unfortunately, although Xiao said so, Ruhui was not at ease. When Ning Zhan comes home from a holiday, Ruhui tells him: "ah Zhan, I have to ask the empress to decide your marriage. If you don't, your mother will be red eyed and confused, and you will be married. That's bad. " That's the shadow of what happened in those years. Some people do nothing to climb high branches.

Of course, they are not made of clay. They will be calculated by others. But if you destroy your relatives, it will do harm to Ning Zhan's reputation.

Ning Zhan also knew Xiao's temperament and nodded: "when I go to the palace to see the empress next time, I'll tell her about it."

"It's not appropriate to talk to the queen like this? It's better to ask the fourth prince to speak for you. "

Ning Zhan shook his head and said: "my own life is natural. How can I let the fourth Prince say it. Moreover, the fourth Prince doesn't know what kind of girl I want to marry. " You can't be careless when you marry a daughter-in-law. If you don't marry a wife, it will bring disaster to three generations!
