Grandma knew about the marriage contract between Ning Mansion and Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, so she must have raised Ah Wei to be the mistress of the family.
Ning Yu thought about it and let go of the doubts in his heart. He felt that everything was in line with common sense and stopped overthinking.
"Ah Wei is right in saying that if you move trees, they will die, but if you move people, they will live. If your current business is not doing well, then you should find another business.
It’s just that repairs are not a trivial matter and cost a lot of money. As a result, the purchase cost will be greatly reduced.”
Ning Wei didn't want his brother to worry about trivial matters. He just wanted him to prepare for the exam with peace of mind. He said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry about money matters. Take your time as hard as you can. Brother handed over the shop to Wei'er.
Come on, let Wei'er do the hard work. My brother is concentrating on preparing for the exam, and Wei'er is still waiting for his brother to get the honor and support Wei'er."
Ning Yu smiled and nodded. "Okay. After I return home, I will send you the account book of the shop. Ah Wei will take good care of the shop and earn money. Brother Wei will point Wei'er to give me the money."
Before Ning Wei could reply, shopkeeper Liu came in with three people. He leaned forward and said, "Miss."
Ning Wei looked at the three people beside Shopkeeper Liu and asked, "What's the matter?"
Shopkeeper Liu said: "The three of them are shop assistants. I brought them here to meet the young lady."
After Shopkeeper Liu finished speaking, the three of them stepped forward and bowed to Ning Wei: "Hello, young lady, my dear Shi Guiyi, my younger brother Xu Wu, my younger brother Liu Liangcai."
Shopkeeper Liu stood next to Shi Guiyi and explained: "Shi Guiyi is the son of Shi Hezheng. Shi Hezheng, like Lao Nu, was the wife's original dowry, and Guiyi's mother was the eldest maid Guihua beside the wife.
After the lady left, the old man and his uncle came to the house to make a big fuss, and brought the old slaves out of Ning Mansion. The old man asked the old slaves to guard the shop, while Shi Hezheng and Osmanthus were taking care of the village in the east of the city.
Zhuangzi.
The old slave saw that Guiyi was smart and asked him to come to the shop to help.
This is Xu Wu. He was picked up by the old slave on the outskirts of the city twelve years ago. At that time, Xu Wu was seven years old. He fled to the capital with his mother-in-law. When the old slave met him, his mother-in-law was already hungry.
After his death, the old slave had his mother-in-law buried on the outskirts of the city, and then brought him back. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years had passed, and Xu Wu had grown into a young man.
Liu Liangcai is the nephew of the old slave. His mother-in-law passed away not long after he was born. When he was five years old, his father encountered a robber on his way back from collecting rent and was hacked to death by the robber. The old man pitied his loneliness and asked me to kill him.
Keep it with you and take care of it.
Of the three of them, Xu Wu is the same age as Guiyi. Liu Liangcai is two years younger than them."
Ning Wei nodded, "Okay, I understand. You go and do your work. My brother and I are going back first and will come back in two days."
Shopkeeper Liu leaned forward and said, "Old slave, I'm seeing you and your lady off."
Ning Wei and Ning Yu came out of the shop and on their way back to Ning's Mansion, Ning Yu said: "Sister Wei, I thought about it and told my grandmother about what happened the day before yesterday. What do you think?"
Ning Wei thought about Zhao Yongqing chasing Baoen Temple, and she felt a little more scrupulous. Zhao had missed one after another, was he very annoyed now?
Ning Wei didn't dare to show off, so he said: "Okay, brother, let's decide."
When the brother and sister went to Jing'an Hall to pay their respects, they happened to catch up with Mrs. Qian for dinner.
When Mrs. Qian saw Ning Yu and Ning Wei coming in, she waved to them happily, "Brother Yu, Sister Wei is back? Zhen, ask someone to bring in two more sets of bowls and chopsticks."
Nanny Yang turned around and ordered her servants.
Ning Wei walked to Mrs. Qian's left and sat down. She looked around the room and didn't see Mrs. Zhao. "What? Madam didn't come here today?"
Mrs. Qian is an open-minded and easy-going person, and she does not require Mrs. Zhao to greet her every morning and dusk.
Mrs. Xiao Zhao was secretly thinking that Mrs. Qian looked down on her as a merchant girl and did not recognize her as her daughter-in-law. She had been married to the Ning Mansion for more than ten years, and people from all over the country came to pay her respects in the morning and dusk.
Mr. Qian glanced at Ning Wei and said, "People from Qinglian Lane sent over to report that Sister He and her grandmother had caught a cold last night. After receiving the letter, Mrs. Zhao went back to visit Sister He and her grandmother."
Ranfenghan? Ha! Let’s go back and discuss how to deal with her!
Perhaps she had a guilty conscience, but when Ning Wei asked about Mrs. Zhao, Grandma Yang's heart started to rise, and her attention fell on Ning Wei.
Ning Wei looked at Grandma Yang seemingly casually. Grandma Yang was staring at Ning Wei. When she saw her looking over, she hurriedly avoided her eyes.
Sure enough, Ning Wei lowered the corner of her mouth, looked away, and replied: "You were fine the day before yesterday, why did you fall ill?"
Mr. Qian said: "As I get older, my body and bones are not as good as before, so I will get sick just as I say."
"Oh." Ning Wei took the bowl and chopsticks from Grandma Yang. "Grandma, please be careful and don't fall ill. Otherwise, Wei'er and brother will have nothing to rely on!"
Mrs. Qian was stunned and whispered: "You girl, don't talk nonsense!" Although the words were reproachful, they were filled with deep affection.
Ning Wei pretended to be annoyed and clapped her mouth, "Oh, I said the wrong thing."
Mrs. Qian smiled and said: "Okay, okay, be careful next time. Are you hungry? Eat quickly."
After Ning Wei thanked him, he first placed the bowl in front of Ning Yu, and then took his own bowl and placed it in front of him.
After the meal, the brother and sister drank tea with Mrs. Qian.
Ning Yu raised his head and looked at Nanny Yang and said, "Nanny, my grandmother and I have something to say. You and everyone should retreat first."
After hearing Ning Yu's words, everyone was stunned. Who in the Ning Mansion didn't know that Aunt Yang was Mrs. Qian's confidant? Is there anything that Aunt Yang couldn't know?
Mrs. Qian always consults with Aunt Yang when doing things. Aunt Yang is like Mrs. Qian's right and left hand.
If Nanny Yang is not in front of Mrs. Qian for a while, Mrs. Qian will feel uncomfortable all over.
Aunt Yang turned to look at Mrs. Qian.
Mrs. Qian waved her hand to Nanny Yang and said, "Take them and retreat first."
Aunt Yang bent her knees and responded: "Yes, I understand."
Nanny Yang was angry in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She led everyone back with a sullen face.
After the servants left, Mrs. Qian looked at Ning Yu and asked, "What happened to Brother Yu? Why do you want Mother Yang to avoid it?"
Ning Yu stood up, bowed his hands and told Mrs. Qian one by one about the drugged meal delivered by Nanny Yang to Ning Wei, as well as about Zhao Yongqing chasing him to Baoen Temple."
At the end, Ning Yu said: "Grandma, you stay in the house all day and don't know much about the outside world.
Zhao Yongqing is an uneducated person who is arrogant and licentious. He is full of food, drink, prostitution and gambling. Before they get married, the women who are brought back to the house can sit at two tables. Such a person has his mind set on Sister Wei, and the grandson thinks more and more.
Get angry.
Grandma, you raised Sister Wei by yourself, you wouldn’t promise Sister Wei to such a person, would you?”
After hearing this, Mrs. Qian was so angry that she trembled all over and looked at Ning Wei: "Is this serious?"
Ning Wei met Mrs. Qian's gaze. She knew that her grandmother had believed her brother's words.
