The happy life of the embroidered girl in space

Chapter 133: Wishing to win someone’s heart (1)
The head of the Ning family hurriedly sent someone to invite other clan elders who were not present.Many clansmen heard that Ning Shuhao's family had sent money to the temple, and they all crowded over to watch and join in the fun.

The head of the Ning family is indeed a person who has seen big scenes, and he speaks and salutes very aura: "The little nephew of the Ning family has already said that the money will be entrusted to the head of the clan and the clan elders to arrange for use. Today's court advocates frugality, and our Ning family also It is not a big family, and the ancestral hall does not need to be too extravagant. Most of the remaining money is used to re-run the ethnology. To revitalize the family, the most important thing is to cultivate the children of the family. In addition to repairing the houses of the ethnology, buying tables and chairs, Buy some more fertile fields, and the production of the fertile fields will be used to pay for my husband’s expenses and the daily expenses of the ethnology.”

Before the patriarch's father, the former patriarch, passed away, he wanted to give 500 taels of silver to the family school that was on the verge of closing. At that time, the patriarch's family was against it.Now Ning Shuhao took the lead in donating 500 taels, and also proposed such a good idea as buying land to raise the clan. The patriarch naturally thought of his father's last wish, and added another 3000 taels.

Several clan elders present and members of the clan with better conditions at home responded more or less. The patriarch appointed a child from a poor clan who had just passed the examination to be a scholar to be in charge of keeping the accounts, and agreed that the clan would give him monthly The monthly money of half taels of silver.

As for the servants in the capital, Father Ning only brought Dong Hao, his two brothers and sisters, Shanwen and two personal servants back to Guning County.The house in the capital was settled by Jing Xuyuan, and it is time to return it, but Jing Xuyuan sent two land deeds, one is the deed of the house he lives in now, and the other is the deed of a nearby three-bedroom house. The deed to enter the courtyard, if the two places are added together and directly repaired, it will be a very grand residence, which is completely enough for the Ning family to live in.

Originally, Ning's father didn't want to accept it. After all, there is no reason, and the house price in the capital is very expensive. However, Ning's father declined several times. The big cart is said to be for Aunt Hui and her younger brothers.

This trip was much faster than the last trip to Beijing. In less than three days, the group arrived in Guning County.

Those who had been waiting at the intersection hurried back to report, and soon, the magistrate Zhang Minghua led his colleagues from the county government, and the head of the Ning family and the elders rushed to the door of the Ning family's house to greet them.

People related to the Ning family also rushed over after hearing the news.Get off the horse, and first salute to the magistrates, county magistrates and other local officials. Although Father Ning has not yet taken office, under the imperial decree, Father Ning is now safe and secure from the fourth-rank official position, not only the attitude of the seventh-rank county magistrate like Zhang Minghua Respectful and respectful, even the magistrate who is higher than Father Ning's official position is respectful and respectful. After meeting with the officials and colleagues, Father Ning took his two children to meet the patriarch and the elders.

The creases on the patriarch's face were as bright as old blooming chrysanthemums: "Brother Hao, you are so good, you are really a good son of our Ning family! Although your branch is small, the few members of your family are the pride of our clan. "

Anticipating that there would be a lot of people welcoming and watching today, before getting off the carriage, Mother Wei deliberately took out a half-cut hat for Ning Yuyao to put on.Ning Yuyao is only ten years old, and Yunzhen does not have as strict rules as the capital city. Wearing a curtain hat with long cloud gauze will feel a bit repulsive, so Mother Wei simply cut off the cloud gauze on the curtain hat Cut a large section, and cut out the wavy edges at the bottom.The veil only covered most of her face, and she could faintly see her cute little chin, which not only did not show her face, but also highlighted the delicate and playful nature of this age.

In this era, identity and family status are a gap that is difficult to bridge in the eyes of ordinary people.

In the eyes of these Lihua villagers, being admitted to Juren and becoming an official is already a great thing, something they dare not hope for.But what they didn't expect was that the Ning family would also have a champion.

Seeing Father Ning and the others walking towards them, except for Ning Yuyao who couldn't see her face clearly with the veiled hat, the rest of the Ning family were all smiling, just like before, nothing changed.On the other hand, Father Ning said a few words to Hui Niang first, and then he took his wife and children together to bow to everyone: "Fellow folks, Shuhao would like to thank you for taking care of me when I was young."

All the villagers rushed to return gifts in various ways, or shook their heads and waved their hands in embarrassment: "Where is there? How can there be? We didn't do anything, but we got credit from you." Back then, although they had He helped Ning's father who was in poverty, but now the Ning family has selflessly passed on the methods of cotton planting and rice field fish farming to everyone, and now he is also enjoying a bumper harvest and earning a comfortable income.

The head of the Ning family smiled and said: "Okay, everyone, don't push it around, everyone is surnamed Ning, so it is what it is, the child is promising, and he is still a child of our Ning family."

Ning Zhihai smiled innocently: "Hey, that's it, that's it. Hui Niang said that you will come today, and your aunt steamed peanut red bean cake early in the morning, saying that you all like to eat this stuff, and... It’s also an auspicious omen.”

Ning's father said happily: "This is thanks to Second Aunt. We have been away for more than half a year, and I miss the peanut red bean cake made by Second Aunt." Ning Yuyao also whispered happily: "Okay. I can eat Second Grandma again. Made peanut red bean cake."

Peanut and red bean cake symbolizes the birth of flowers, good luck, and rising every step of the way. Generally, it is only made during the Chinese New Year.For ordinary people, glutinous rice, peanuts, red dates, red beans, and white sugar are all expensive ingredients. Even if they make it once a year, they are reluctant to add more ingredients. Most of them mix the much cheaper indica rice flour with glutinous rice flour to make cakes. The taste is naturally much worse.

Even Mrs. Li, who has tasted countless delicious cakes, is full of praise for He's craftsmanship in making peanut and red bean cakes. To make delicious peanut and red bean cakes requires not only materials, but also a lot of effort.Ingenuity is also required.Because the two families are close, the peanut and red bean cakes made every year during the Chinese New Year are full of ingredients and taste. People can't put it down.

As a food eater, what I hope most is that the eater will like it. Seeing that Ning's father and the others are still thinking about eating the peanut red bean cake they made, the joy and joy on their faces are not fake, and He's face is full of excitement. Is gratified and satisfied.

After Father Ning led a few people to complete a series of complicated ancestor worship, and the people gradually dispersed, he hurried back home first. He was really tired from the busy work these days, so he should go home early to resettle. I haven't been home for so long, and I brought a lot of things back, and I have to work for a while.
