After all, no one has much spare money in their pocket.
The housekeepers would receive a monthly allowance, and the masters of each courtyard would receive another monthly allowance. The maids and servants under them would work very hard and try their best to keep the Ning residence in good order inside and out.
As soon as Ning Xiaotang mentioned the issue of distributing monthly allowance to Ning Zilin, Ning Zilin agreed.
At this time, Ning Xiaotang stared at Ning Zilin and said, "Brother, how is your soap shop doing recently?"
"Everything is the same as before. There is some income coming in every day, sometimes more, sometimes less, it's normal."
"That's good. I wonder if there's any further news about Big Brother and Sister Ge?"
"Sister, this is not something a little kid like you should be asking about. Go back and practice your calligraphy."
Ning Zilin immediately felt embarrassed by the question and quickly asked Ning Xiaotang to do the work.
"Wow, big brother doesn't care about his sister anymore!" Ning Xiaotang just started pretending to cry.
Ning Zilin surrendered immediately when he saw Ning Xiaotang's face, which looked like it was about to cry. "Alright, alright, I'm telling you, I was planning to tell grandma today that I want Ge Yuyuan to be my legal wife!"
"Wow, big brother is really amazing! He got Sister Ge to agree so quickly?"
"She and I are like-minded and have similar interests. Her current life is what she has always pursued."
"What kind of life does Sister Ge pursue?"
"She hoped her husband would not object to her running the shop. Although she would be in the spotlight, she really enjoyed selling her soap with other ladies.
I also feel that although it is a bit tiring for her to worry about the soap business, she said that only in this way can she feel valued. "
"That's because Sister Ge is a hard worker by nature and can't sit still!"
"Exactly. If I marry her, I won't confine her at home. I'll let her live freely."
Ning Zilin said with a dazed smile.
Ge Yuyuan happened to be outside and heard it clearly.
Qingle immediately said, "Miss, now you can put your mind at ease."
Ge Yuyuan immediately said, "Hurry up and report and pay the monthly bill."
Qingle immediately said, "Yes, young lady."
Qingle then stepped forward and said, "Bai Liu, Miss Ge is here to pay her monthly bill."
Bai Liu immediately smiled and bowed: "Miss Ge, please wait a moment!"
Bai Liu immediately went inside: "Master, Miss Ge is here."
Ning Zilin and Ning Xiaotang looked towards the door at the same time.
"Please ask her to come in!" Ning Zilin said.
"Brother, should I step aside for a moment?"
"You're my sister, why would I ask you to stay away? Just sit there and listen."
"Well, that's fine!" Ning Xiaotang also wanted to see her future sister-in-law.
"Yuyuan has met the master of the house and has specially sent this month's account for your verification."
"How much silver?"
"Returning to the owner, the total net profit is 673 taels of silver, and the cost has been deducted from the shop."
Bai Liu immediately stepped forward, took the banknote and handed it to Ning Zilin.
Ning Zilin took the banknote and looked at Ge Yuyuan tenderly, saying, "You've worked hard. Stay and have lunch with Tangtang before you leave."
"Yes, Master," Ge Yuyuan bowed politely.
"Sister Ge, come and sit down. I'm dazzled by your blessing."
Ning Xiaotang immediately stepped forward and took Ge Yuyuan's hand, and the two of them sat on the chair next to each other.
"Quanyue, prepare some tea quickly. I think Sister Ge is thirsty."
"Thank you so much, Sister Tangtang. Fortunately, I'm not that thirsty."
Quan Yue immediately poured a cup of tea and placed it on the table.
"Sister, drink quickly!" Ning Xiao said sweetly.
Ge Yuyuan had no choice but to pick up the teacup and take a sip slowly.
Then Ning Zilin took the silver note and calculated how to buy another shop in a short time so that he could return this shop to Tangtang.
Although Tangtang doesn’t know yet, I believe Ning Xiaotang would be happier if she knew Ning Zilin’s feelings.
Ning Xiaotang and Ning Zilin prepared a sumptuous lunch and ate with Ge Yuyuan.
Only then did they send Ge Yuyuan away.
The brother and sister both said to each other, "Sister Ge is really nice. She kept picking up delicious dishes for me!"
"It shows that she likes her sister very much."
Luo Xiangqin's courtyard
"Grandma, I want to marry Ge Yuyuan as my wife." Ning Zilin said while sitting on a chair.
Luo Xiangqin asked in surprise, "But will Miss Ge's family agree?"
"Grandma, I don't care whether her family agrees or not. I have made up my mind to marry her. Please officiate our wedding."
Luo Xiangqin glanced at Old Man Ning who was sitting next to her.
"What do you think?" Luo Xiangqin asked.
"I think as long as Miss Ge is determined to marry our Zilin, then the marriage can take place. Although Miss Ge's family can't come, our Ning family will not treat her unfairly. We will definitely hold a grand wedding banquet and let her become Zilin's legal wife in a grand manner."
Ning Zilin immediately stood up and said to Old Man Ning, "Thank you for your support, Master. Zilin will definitely manage the Ning family well and handle everything properly."
"Good boy, the Ning family is doing very well under your leadership."
Old man Ning was very happy.
Because at noon today, the kitchen staff distributed the monthly allowance to each courtyard, including the monthly allowance of the masters of each courtyard, all of which were in place.
Old Man Ning finally understood why Ning Xiaotang insisted on skipping over him, Old Man Ning, and then skipping over his uncles and aunts, and directly letting Ning Zilin be the head of the family.
It now seems that Ning Zilin does have certain abilities, enough to allow the Ning family to live a relatively affluent life in Ningxiahe Village.
That afternoon, the Ning family's servants began to happily paste wedding characters and hang red silks in the Ning family's house, creating a joyous atmosphere.
The Ning family's Buddhist hall could also hear the lively sounds outside.
Qian Fangcao immediately asked, "Yan'er, go out and see what's going on outside? Why is it so bustling everywhere?"
Yan'er immediately put down the feather duster and said, "Yes, Aunt Qian."
After a while, Yan'er came back in a panic: "Madam Qian, it's bad. People outside say that the master of the family is going to marry that soap seller Ge Yuyuan as his wife in a few days!"
Qian Fangcao's eyes suddenly widened: "What? Is this true?"
"To Aunt Qian, it's absolutely true. I heard that the old lady personally agreed to it and has already sent a matchmaker to exchange Miss Ge's engagement letter. All that's missing is the marriage certificate!"
Qian Fangcao immediately frowned, "You actually forgot about me? Ning Zilin, how could you do this to me?"
"Yan'er, go and tell the head of the family that I'm about to die!" Qian Fangcao said angrily.
"Don't do that, Aunt Qian. Aren't you just cursing yourself to death?"
"Then say I'm pregnant!" Qian Fangcao wished she could give her a baby from a stone.
"Miss, why don't you just say you're sick and ask the master to let you out early?"
"So what if I go out? Can it compare to Ge Yuyuan's wedding joy?"
