Ning Weiguo took a sharp look at his youngest son who refused to pick up the pot.
Still buying souvenirs?
Do you think I look like a souvenir?
Originally, he was still thinking about stirring things up and thinking about the money that was gone once he got it, but now he was just worried about his wife settling an old score with him.
"It's okay. It's not like you don't know your father's character. It's harder to get money from him than to pick the moon from the sky. If you want money, mom has it here."
Ning Zhang was no longer like before, telling Ning Weiguo not to waste money when encountering such a trivial matter.
A low-ranking clerk in a government office is naturally different from a Zhaomo official in charge of hundreds of government officials.
Most of the time, officials in such positions may actually have to pay out of their own pockets to work in government offices if they are honest and honest.
Ning Zhang didn't want to shortchange Ning Weiguo's money and let him be deceived and tainted outside, so he casually took out two silver notes from his wallet and handed them to Ning Wuzhen across the table.
It is given by the elders and cannot be turned away.
What's more, Ning Wuyu asked for it himself.
Ning Wuyi hadn't taken it yet, but Ning Weiguo picked it up and put it into Ning Wuyi's outstretched palm.
"Madam, just think of these banknotes as borrowed from me, and I will pay you back slowly in the future."
Ning Wuyu took a look at the face value of the bank note.
I don’t know how long it will take to pay back the 20,000 taels of banknotes based on my father’s 10 taels of Dai silver every month.
That’s all.
So what if his father returns to his mother for the rest of his life?
Anyway, he just thought it was given to him by his father.
"Thank you dad."
Ning Wuzhen was not polite, folded the banknotes, stuffed them into his purse, and put them close to his body.
In this way, when you are shopping for souvenirs on the road, you can buy a few more to give to your friends in the city.
For example, Brother Zhang from the east of the city, Brother Li from the north of the city, and... Miss Xirou from the west of the city.
Thinking that Miss Xirou likes music scores, and there are many great composers in the capital, I might be able to ask for advice and get a piece of music for Miss Xirou.
"It's okay, what are you doing standing around? It's your turn to drink."
Ning Weiguo had already had a drink with Ning Wushuang.
Unexpectedly, when he was about to drink with his son, he was ignored by the other party. Seeing Ning Wuzhen looking towards the west as if he was in a daze, he smiled helplessly: "Your uncle, eldest brother, second brother and fourth brother can't come back. But the last time they sent a letter, they learned that you were going to the capital, and your fourth brother was very mysterious in the letter, saying that he wanted to give you a surprise. Does your sister-in-law know about this? "
Ning Yang, who was named, thought for a moment and shook her head firmly.
Her younger son liked to play charades and talk in different ways, which she couldn't handle at ordinary times, and there was almost no unnecessary communication when writing letters.
Want money.
Give money.
Compared to her mother, the men of the Ning family have a better relationship in private, and the younger son is more willing to play with his third brother Ning Wuyi, who is similar in age.
After hearing this reply, Ning Weiguo smiled mysteriously at Ning Wuyi.
"It seems that we have something to look forward to tonight. I don't know what kind of ceremony they have prepared. They didn't bother to go all the way to deliver it."
Ning Weiguo was complaining like this, but the expression on his face showed that he was the one who was looking forward to it the most.
on the contrary.
Although Ning Wuyan was looking forward to seeing what kind of gifts his uncles would give him, he probably didn't take it to heart because he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
If you have him, accept it, and if you don't have him, don't complain.
Anyway, as long as everyone can get along well with each other and can put unity with the Ning family as the priority when getting along, that means one family will not speak the same language as the two families.
Otherwise, there will only be a separation of families, and he will not join in the mud that cannot support the wall.
"Second Master, Fifth Young Master, and Supervisor Tong sent a jar of new wine."
The old housekeeper trotted over, followed by the boy who was holding a five-pound jar of wine in a small plaster jar.
I saw red paper on it, and the word "Ping An" was written on it. It was obviously a wine made from steamed wine, just like Ping An wine.
Ning Wuyan knew that Brother Tong had not figured out how to save grain, but directly brewed high-concentration spirits from grain.
He took the wine with his own hands and asked Ning Zhang suspiciously: "Second aunt, is the steamed wine sent by Zhuangzi not enough for the family?"
As the weather gets colder, flower sales decrease in many northern regions, but perfume sales increase.
In recent days, perfume orders have indeed increased sharply due to this.
Ning Wuyang was worried that the supply of drinks at the perfume workshop would not be enough for his own consumption. As a result, the disabled veterans staying in the house might be in trouble during the cold wave in late autumn.
If that was the case, he would have to ask the wine distiller to increase the budget.
"No, because there are many places at home where we can use this steamed wine, I specially stored a lot of it. Last time you hosted a banquet for everyone at Xiaoxiang Pavilion, you moved so much and still didn't empty it, not to mention that I immediately made up for it later. ”
Ning Zhang looked curiously at the jar of new clay wine in his hand, and said casually: "Maybe this jar of new wine, old boy, is different?"
Speaking of being different, Ning Wuyang thought that there would be a jar of fine wines among the thousands of jars in Yujiu Winery.
Although he was not good at drinking, he glanced at his second uncle who was already staring at the wine jar and swallowing his saliva, and opened the lid of the wine with a smile.
A mellow smell spurted out instantly, making people feel ecstatic.
“Good wine!”
Ning Wuyan blurted out a word of praise.
Ning Weiguo, who was sitting next to him and smelled the smell, quickly asked someone to change the cup and moved to the wine jar.
Without waiting for Ning Wuyan to take action, he was self-sufficient, picked up the wine jar and poured a full glass first.
"Second uncle, although this wine does not smell intoxicating, the liquor has great stamina. Please take it easy."
Ning Weiguo specially changed to a slightly larger wine glass, and this one was half a catty.
Even those who practice martial arts can't help but have a few drinks like this.
Ning Weiguo, however, patted his chest disapprovingly and said confidently: "It's okay, don't worry. Although this Ping'an wine is good, it can't defeat me."
After saying that, he put the wine glass not far under his nose and smelled it carefully. When Ning Wuyang poured the new wine to the third brother and others, Ning Weiguo took a sip and sighed comfortably. .
"It's such a good wine. It's soft in the mouth and offsets a lot of the original strongness. It's worthy of being a wine sent by Lao Tong himself...it's amazing!"
Ning Weiguo searched his guts and couldn't think of any more words of praise, so he could only say "Absolutely amazing", and after saying that, he couldn't wait to take a sip.
Cool!
Ning Wuyan also took a sip, and it felt different in the mouth, and there was no heady feeling after drinking it.
In addition, now that Yunxi Gong has reached the peak of the first level, the blood circulation in the body is very fast, so he drank more while everyone was happy.
After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are gone.
Until the family banquet was about to end amidst laughter and a little loneliness, the housekeeper trotted over again, this time holding four iron boxes of different sizes in his hands. There was a clanging sound inside, which sounded strange. It's like there are heavy objects, but there are a lot of gadgets.
On the first box, there are three words "Ning Huxing" stuck on it.
This is exactly the uncle's name.
The remaining ones are the eldest brother "Ning Wuwu", the second brother "Ning Wuwu", and the fourth brother "Ning Wujia".
The boxes vary in size, the largest is only two feet long and the smallest is one foot square.
Ning Weiguo was a little drunk. When he saw these boxes, he put down his wine glass and frowned.
"The practical gifts given by the eldest brother and the children are somewhat different from what I imagined."
How much surprise can such a small box contain?
