Chapter five hundred and thirteen restaurant discussions

Today's lunch was quite dull. I heard that Fan Ning wanted to go overseas again, and the whole family was a little dissatisfied. Zhu Pei and Ouyang Qian's dissatisfaction did not show it on their faces, but Zhang Sanniang directly fired her son. m

"What the hell do you want to do? Your son is only over one year old. He just could call him daddy and his daughter was only three years old. When he needed his father's love, you slapped your butt and left the family and went overseas. When you came back, the grass on my grave was one foot high."

Zhang Sanniang was really angry. Her two wives were so young, so she left them at home and stayed at widows. Are you still a qualified husband? Even his father was not as good as his father. Back then, his father opened a clinic in Mudu Town, and he knew that he was irresponsible at all when he rushed home every night.

Fanning still counts on his family to support him! As a result, he was scolded by his mother first and said so badly that he said nothing.

Zhu Pei and Ouyang Qian exchanged a look, and Zhu Pei spoke, "Mother-in-law, my husband has ambitions and wants to do something. As a family, we should support him, but I think there is actually a solution. For example, when my husband worked in Kunzhou, I followed him. My husband got a career and his family was very successful. It's the best of both worlds! Of course, now the family has a large population, but there will always be a solution. What do you think?"

On the surface, Zhu Pei was trying to persuade her mother-in-law, but in fact she was hinting at Fanning, not to go alone and leave us in the capital.

Ouyang Qian also cooperated in time and said, "To be honest, we are not inseparable from the capital. We lived very well in Jiangnan. Zhen'er was born in Jiangnan and later in Yingtian Mansion. Everyone also lived happily. I think the key is that the family should be together. As for where to live? It doesn't matter."

Zhu Pei quietly kicked Adu next to him again, and Adu quickly expressed his opinion, "I support my two sisters-in-law. The key is to have a family together, and it doesn't matter where you live!"

Seeing them singing and reconcile, Fan Ning 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 definitely can't take you with me when I go to sea. At most, the family will move to Quanzhou, and the Overseas Administration is there. In this way, even if we are separated for a short time, it will be one or two months, and I will be in Quanzhou most of the time."

"Then move to Quanzhou!" Zhang Sanniang, as an elder, made the final decision.

Everyone reached a consensus, and the dining table immediately became lively and discussed Quanzhou. Zhu Pei asked Jian Meizi, "Sister Jian, you have been to Quanzhou, how about Quanzhou?"

There are people here who have been to Quanzhou. Everyone's eyes looked at Jian Meizi. Jian Meizi blushed and said, "I was with my master when I was a child. I stayed there for a year. In my memory, the weather is very good, neither lukewarm nor hot, especially in winter, not hot in summer, and the climate is much more comfortable than in Beijing, just a little wet. In addition, Quanzhou is very prosperous, and it feels much more prosperous than Mingzhou. You can buy all kinds of strange things."

"Is there any little monkey?" Fan Zhener interrupted and asked.

Everyone laughed suddenly, Ouyang Qian glared at her daughter, "If there is a little monkey, you won't be allowed to play, it will scratch your face."

Fan Zhener's eyes showed a look of fear and said timidly: "You can do the little rabbit and the little squirrel!"

Jian Meizi smiled and said, "There are many flowers in Quanzhou and many small animals, you will like it!"

"Okay!" Zhen'er clapped her hands with joy. Suddenly she asked her father anxiously again: "Dad, is there any mountain over there?"

Fanning knew that the mountain her daughter was concerned about was not the mountains around the city, but the hills at home. Fanning smiled and said, "As long as you really go, there will be one!"

I really didn't care about eating and ran out excitedly to find the wet nurse.

Ouyang Qian whispered to her husband: "Don't promise her now, what if there is no?"

"If not, let's build one!"

Fanning has always had no bottom line in his request for his daughter.

Zhang Sanniang suddenly remembered something again, "Aning, Mingren and Mingli seem to be in Quanzhou!"

Fanning nodded and smiled, "They are making a fuss in Quanzhou, and they are already the largest maritime businessman in Quanzhou. Since the whole family is going to Quanzhou, I will write a letter first and ask them to help pay attention to the residence first."

Zhu Pei also said: "The Zhu family has a big business in Fuzhou and Quanzhou. The Zhu family's money shop alone has three branches in Quanzhou. 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 his wife's meaning. The Zhu family money shop in Quanzhou had nothing to do with them, it was from the Zhu family. His wife refers to the Zhu family money shop in the capital and went to Quanzhou.

Fanning thought for a while and said, "There is no need to open a fourth one, you can buy one."

Zhu Pei smiled and said, "Then I will write to my grandfather!"

Fan Ning was not worried that Zhu Yuanfu would agree. He is now a third-rank official, and has a second-rank county official. He is also a 500 households. With his current power, not to mention buying a Zhu family money shop, as long as he opens his mouth, the Zhu family will immediately offer it and not pay any money.

The family lunch started with a dull and ended with a happy ending

Two days later, the New Year of Huangyou's eight years came in a sad mood. However, the arrival of the New Year, the natural festive atmosphere still diluted the sad atmosphere of the death of many emperors. In addition, business was about to stop during the New Year, so the closure of business in hundreds of cities did not affect the lives of the people for several days.

A heavy snow fell on the morning of New Year's Eve, which soon turned the entire capital into a world covered with silver. The children's laughter added a bit of joy to the New Year. From New Year's Eve, firecrackers began to be abandoned in all 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 mansion, carrying a big bag in his hand, which contained various dried fruits, chestnuts, hazelnuts, pine cones, wheat cakes, etc. Although Fanning explained to his daughter for a long time that the little squirrel, rabbit and hedgehog would have food to spend the winter, he still couldn't resist his daughter's tears and came to deliver food to the little animals in person.

"Really, can we keep the food in the pavilion? It can't be covered even if it snows. They will eat it themselves."

"Then are they cold? Do you want to put two clothes on?" Zhen'er asked with red eyes.

Fan Ning laughed silently and explained patiently: "Are they all wearing fur coats? Look at the little squirrels are covered with fur, and the little rabbit is the one with long hair, so it won't be cold in winter."

"Where is that little hedgehog? It has no hair."

"The little hedgehog is hiding at home to warm up and sleep! He has to sleep for a winter before he wakes up in spring, and we have a lot of food here, so they can't be hungry."

Fanning pointed to a chestnut tree and a walnut tree again. This was transplanted a few months ago. Five fruit trees were transplanted, but in the end, only these two fruit trees survived. Now there are still many fruits that have not fallen off the chestnut tree.

Fanning picked up a big chestnut under the chestnut tree in a moment. Now she was finally relieved. She put the food she brought in the pavilion and followed her father back.

However, her mother Ouyang Qian was busy packing her things and going to pay New Year's greetings to her father tomorrow. This was her husband's first time. She knew that the mansion would be lively tomorrow. A large group of students from her father were going to pay New Year's greetings to her, and her eldest brother's family was coming. She also had two married sisters and three younger brothers, and she had to prepare gifts.

Ouyang Qian is also very valuable now. When she got married, Fan Ning gave her five hundred taels of gold and twenty pearls to do her dowry. Then the monthly money was the same as Zhu Pei, which was 300 guan. Later, after she gave birth to Fan Zhen'er, Fan Ning gave her 300 guan and thousands of acres of land. There were two houses. She gave the small one to her father to pass it to her elder brother. She kept the big one herself. She felt that she would have a son and was going to keep it for her son.

Of course, Ouyang Qian could not be as generous as she was when she came to her house for the first time. She gave her father three thousand guan at a time, and this time she mainly gave her small gifts.

At this time, Fanning took his daughter back to the yard, Azhen handed it to the wet nurse, and he himself entered his wife's room.

"Finally convinced the little guy!"

Fan Ning entered the door and smiled, "She wanted to take all the squirrels and rabbits to Quanzhou. I explained to her that there were peach trees, pear trees, apricot trees, pine trees, chestnut trees, walnut trees, and so many mushrooms on the hills. It was enough for these little animals to eat, and she finally figured it out."

Ouyang Qian sighed and said, "You spoiled her too much, even pampered her. You are not so good to Jing'er, and Ape will feel uncomfortable."

"You don't understand this. My daughter needs to spoil her and her son needs to be beaten. When she grows up, her daughter will not be tempted by the money outside and will be more motivated. Otherwise, if you have another son, I will definitely not spoil him like Zhen'er."

"I want to give birth!"

Fanning's eyes lit up and leaned forward and smiled, "Since you want to have a child, you have to act, it's useless to say it."

"Go! Go! Go!"

Ouyang Qian pushed her husband away and complained to him: "It's broad daylight now, what are you thinking?"

Fanning was just a joke, and his daughter would rush in at any time. He sat next to him and asked, "Have you chosen all the gifts?"

Ouyang Qian said with an upset look: "I plan to give each of my child and my younger siblings a pearl, but I haven't thought about the gift from my father and elder brother yet."

Fan Ning smiled slightly, "I will prepare my father-in-law's gift, and I will consider your elder brother. As for Xue's side, my mother plans to give her ten pieces of lake silk and a set of gold jewelry, which I think is almost the same."

"I don't want to give her anything to that woman." Ouyang Qian said hatefully.

Fan Ning comforted her and said, "I hate her too, but the gifts should not be abandoned. According to the rules of my hometown, my mother can just give her a gift."

"Then what gift are you going to give to my dad?"

"Of course it's Tianhuangshi and the official kiln tea set. I have three of the best Tianhuangshi in my study, and I don't even have Zhang Yaozuo. I'll give you one to make a seal for your father, a set of official kiln Ru porcelain, and a set of ten kilograms of dragon tea. I'll give him a top-quality Tianhuangshi and a set of official kiln Jun porcelain teacup on your elder brother."

This time, the Zhang Yaozuo brothers were killed, and the Zhang brothers were investigated for rebellion. All the property of Zhang Yaozuo and Zhang Yaocheng was not included in the inner treasury, and the inner treasury recorded more than one million chunks of money, making a fortune.

In order to commend Fan Ning for his achievements in protecting the emperor, Empress Dowager Cao and Empress Dowager Gao rewarded Fan Ning with 50,000 taels of silver, ten sets of official kiln porcelain, 200 kilograms of dragon tea, and also gave Fan Ning a large amount of jewelry and Zhang Yaozuo's city-west manor covering an area of ​​100 hectares.
