"Oh, then I'll go over and take a look. This old woman Qian is used to extorting money from the Ning family. Is she doing this again?"
When Ning Xiaotang arrived at Luo Xiangqin's yard, Mrs. Qian and Xu Danggui had already left.
"Grandma, what did Mrs. Qian ask of you?" Ning Xiaotang bowed as soon as she came in, but went straight to the point.
"She wants to promise Qian Fangchun to your third brother, and ask him to agree to marry her as his legal wife in the future. She also wants to arrange a marriage for her as a child first!"
"She's so arrogant! How dare she make such a request?" Ning Xiaotang immediately became angry.
"This is also a solution, Tangtang. Otherwise, the Qian family would keep harping on the matter of Qian Fangcao's death, which would make you unhappy."
Luo Xiangqin said softly.
"Grandma, you can't let Third Brother suffer just to make things easier for me, right?"
"But this~ is also what Mrs. Qian meant when she came here just now."
"What if we don't agree?" Ning Xiaotang immediately raised her face and stared at Luo Xiangqin.
At this time, Ning Zhenyu, the old man from Ning County, said from the side: "Alas, I'm afraid you'll have to endure this injustice."
Ning Xiaotang only then understood that her grandparents' idea was to handle the matter as peacefully as possible. If Tangtang lived in fear all day long, she would not be able to live a happy life.
"Everything is because I want her to grow up happily!" Ning Xiaotang said secretly.
The next day, Mrs. Qian packed up Qian Fangchun and sent her to Ning's house.
Under the pretext of being nice, spend more time with Ning Zike so that the two of you can develop feelings of mutual affection.
Ning Zike was so angry that his liver hurt, but Old Man Ning said privately that he should be polite to the newcomer Qian Fangchun and avoid any major conflicts. It would not affect anything else.
Ning Zike had to endure Mrs. Qian's kindness.
On this day, Qian Fangchun wore a nice light green skirt and her hair was styled in a nice willow-like bun.
"Fangchun greets the third young master!" Qian Fangchun immediately learned all the rules that Liu Ayuan taught her.
Ning Zike, along with his two brothers, glanced at Qian Fangchun and said unhappily, "If you ever stir up trouble in my Ning residence again like your sister did, I will definitely kick you out! And I'll kick you out to a sparsely populated area!"
Ning Zike also said hatefully.
"Fangchun will not do anything that would harm the Ning residence, following the Third Young Master's orders."
Qian Fangchun's small body was as weak as a willow, but Ning Zike didn't show any affection for her at all.
On the contrary, boys of this age simply find it annoying to have a child marriage.
"Third brother, she is the marriage that grandpa and grandma arranged for you?"
Ningzi also said.
"Well, she will be a member of the Ning family from now on. If you find that she is disobedient or dishonest, just tell me. I will punish her by not allowing her to eat or sleep, and make her kneel in the ancestral hall!"
Ning Zike spoke slowly and calmly, not taking Qian Fangchun's face seriously at all.
After Ning Zike and the others left, Qian Fangchun secretly bit her lip and asked, "Can't I have a maid to serve me?"
"Miss Qian, this servant is Yan'er, and I used to serve Miss Qian's elder sister."
"You unlucky thing! Don't get so close to me!" Qian Fangchun cursed immediately.
"Miss Qian, I deserve to die. Please spare me for the sake of the deceased Concubine Qian!"
Yan'er was really afraid of living alone in the Ning family's old house. It was very scary to be alone there at night. And because of Qian Fangcao's death, no one was willing to hire Yan'er.
Qian Fangchun glanced at Yan'er, and thought about how she was now in Ning's residence and no one would buy her a maid. After thinking about it, she said, "Then you should follow me first!"
Yan'er said happily, "Yes, Miss Qian!"
At this time, the matchmaker who went to Shuihe Town to mediate between the Liu family came again and met Luo Xiangqin with a warm smile on her face.
"Replying to Old Lady Ning, the Liu family's mistress has agreed to the exchange of engagement letters. We only need to wait for the six ceremonies to be completed before we can welcome the bride home."
Ning Xiaotang immediately smiled and sat aside quietly like a good little boy.
Her eldest brother was very thoughtful. He arranged for Fourth Uncle and Liu He to meet on the same street. After a quick glance, he asked Liu He to agree to the marriage.
After sending the matchmaker away, Luo Xiangqin said, "I originally thought Liu He wouldn't agree. After all, there are many families in Shuihe Town willing to marry her. How could she be willing to marry to our Ningxiahe Village? That's really something!"
Ning Xiaotang immediately said softly, "Grandma, that's because Miss Liu has really good taste. Fourth Uncle is also a good talent in the private school in the eyes of the teacher. The teacher intends to pass on his teachings to him. This Fourth Uncle may soon become a teacher!"
"I hope so. Leguo has been studying this book every day for these years, and this can be considered a good way out."
It turned out that Ning Leguo was a student in Shuixiahe Village, but after failing to achieve any new results in the exams several times, he began to study teaching under his teacher seriously.
At this time, I am already teaching the new students and leading them to read the "Rules for Disciples".
This is also the reason why Liu He agreed at first sight, simply because scholars all have some gentle feelings. Ning Leguo only asked her name after meeting her, and the two of them had already imprinted their feelings in their hearts after a quick glance.
Ning Xiaotang got up and prepared to go back to her own courtyard, when she happened to meet Qian Fangchun leading Yan'er in.
"Fangchun has met you, Grandma. I beg you to assign Yan'er to Fangchun as a servant so that I can take care of her."
Ning Xiaotang stood there and saw Yan'er kneeling beside her. Qian Fangchun was the future third sister-in-law? The thought of this made Ning Xiaotang feel like grinding her teeth.
He was so angry that his teeth were itching and he wanted to bite off Qian Fangchun's thin neck.
"My sister is here too!" Qian Fangchun smiled slightly.
"Humph! I don't want to admit that you are my third brother's childhood sweetheart!"
"Tangtang is still young, you should understand what she means. If you want to gain the approval of Zike and Tangtang, you must always maintain your status and dignity as a member of the Ning family and always consider the interests of your husband's family. Although you are still young, once you enter the Ning family, you are a member of the Ning family, don't you understand?"
Luo Xiangqin taught earnestly.
"Yes, following your teachings, I will pray for you every day, wishing you good health and longevity!" Qian Fangchun immediately bowed deeply.
Ning Xiaotang saw Qian Fangchun kneeling down and thought to herself that Qian Fangchun was smarter than Qian Fangcao. She knew how to please her grandmother, which was like finding a backer for herself.
"If you like this Yan'er, you can keep her by your side and serve her."
"Fangchun thanks you for your gift!"
Luo Xiangqin nodded, turned around and touched Ning Xiaotang's little head, saying lovingly, "Tangtang, do you want some crispy pork for lunch? Let me make it for you."
"Grandma, I want to eat sweet and sour spare ribs!" Ning Xiaotang immediately raised her chin and smiled at Luo Xiangqin.
"Baji! Grandma, I want sweet and sour spareribs!"
"Okay, sweet and sour spareribs, I'll prepare them now!"
