Mrs. Ling Er was also calm, no matter what, now that the children are young, there is no one in the eight characters, and she cares about the Zhao family's family, and she is unwilling to offend the Zhao family.

It happened to be the birthday of Second Uncle Ling, and she didn't dare to alarm Mrs. Ling, Mrs. Ling, and Second Mrs. Ling called the eldest sister Ling, the second sister Ling, the third sister Ling, the third sister Ling, and the three sisters and brothers of the Zhao family to come to the house to be lively.

Because they had said hello in advance and it was their uncle's birthday, Zhao Changqing, Zhao Rong and Zhao Changning all dressed up and went smart.

Second Uncle Ling now looked at Zhao Changqing with a thousand pleasing eyes, and said with a smile, "Have a good day with your sisters, don't be restrained, I asked someone to buy delicious snacks." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "With the light of the second uncle, I have a blessing today." ”

Second Uncle Ling saw that Zhao Changqing was wearing a rouge-colored skirt, and the collar and cuffs were inlaid with snow-white hair, which made a white and tender little face particularly beautiful. And Zhao Changqing is tall, neither fat nor thin, with a thin waist and long legs, he shows a little slender. Second Uncle Ling said in his heart that he had to have a character like his niece to not insult his son. Second Uncle Ling saw that Zhao Changqing was becoming more and more pleasant, and smiled, "Just come when you are idle, let you enjoy your mouth every day, and Uncle Ling will be happy." ”

After a few words with the two sisters, he let them go to the back room to talk, leaving Zhao Changning alone to talk for a while.

Sister Ling has already arrived, but Sister Liang is a little bit of an old man in the past life, Zhao Changqing, Zhao Rong and Sister Liang greet each other.

Before meeting Zhao Changqing, Sister Liang had heard Third Sister Ling mention Zhao Changqing many times, of course, there was nothing good to say. Although in the mouth of Third Sister Ling, Zhao Changqing is the girl who is good for nothing but her appearance. Sister Liang didn't expect Zhao Changqing to be so handsome at a young age, with a goose egg face, watery almond eyes, a tall nose bridge, and red lips. Not to mention Zhao Changqing's fine clothes and beautiful hairpin rings. Just talking about her appearance, Sister Liang knew that she was losing to Zhao Changqing.

Sister Liang is the same age as Third Sister Ling, both are twelve years old, but their minds are far more flexible and thoughtful than Third Sister Ling.

Sister Liang smiled, "I've heard my cousin mention my sister earlier, it's really better to be famous than to meet." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I also heard that my sister came to my second uncle's house, but she has been busy with trivial matters, and she didn't have to meet until today." In her previous life, she was cowardly and incompetent, just like that, it was still the Ling Zhao family who married, not the Ling Liang family. In her previous life, Sister Liang, who failed to marry Ling Teng, had the greatest hobby of coming to Ling's house every once in a while to visit her miserable married life.

Zhao Changqing didn't talk to Sister Liang much*, but after a few polite words, he went to talk to Sister Ling. There is a lot of embroidery work to be used to get married, and it stands to reason that it should be the bride's stitch and thread sewing, but such a big project cannot be completed in a year and a half. Therefore, the sisters who know each other will help to make something simple.

Zhao Changqing asked Sister Ling about the progress of her embroidery work, and Sister Ling smiled, "I'm still embroidering clothes, and big items such as curtains haven't started yet." ”

Zhao Changqing weighed it and said, "It would be fast to be able to make clothes a few years ago." Big sister doesn't have to worry, there is still a year to work next year, and there is plenty of time. "The most delicate is an embroidered dress, unless it is really a noble lady, otherwise this must be done by the bride herself.

Sister Ling didn't want to always talk about her own family affairs, and said with a smile, "I baked the persimmon cake to you that day, how do you feel about the taste?" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's delicious, the layer of frosting outside, is the big sister baked?" That's going to take a lot of work. ”

Sister Ling smiled, "It's not all baked, it's not all baked, it will be dried first and then baked, so that it will save trouble, and the frosting can also come out." ”

Then, let's talk about eating.

Third Sister Ling and Sister Liang beckoned the sisters to eat dim sum, and said, "Sister Qing brought dim sum over before, and I just ate it, especially the red bean shortbread, which is not worse than the one sold in the dim sum shop." Sister Qing, how do you make that cake? ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's just the practice of ordinary shortbread, the red bean paste is mixed with sugar and oil, and the ingredients are enough, which is naturally delicious." ”

This is really the same as not saying it, Ling Sanjie knew that Zhao Changqing was unwilling to teach, although she was indignant, she didn't dare to offend Zhao Changqing too much, and she was fooled with a smile.

When Ling Teng came back from his grandfather's house, he was also happy to see his sisters, and invited Zhao Changqing to see the flowers he raised.

Seeing that Ling Teng invited Zhao Changqing to the study, Sister Liang casually pursed the corners of her lips. She has lived in the Ling family for these days, and she knows that Ling Teng has a different temperament, his study has always been cleaned up by himself, and the second wife of Ling is not easy to enter, but now it is so easy to invite Zhao Changqing in.

Zhao Rong smiled and said, "My cousin and sister are the most compatible, they always like to say what books and paintings." ”

Sister Ling smiled, "Yes, they also have similar tempers, and they both like to raise some flowers and grass." What does Sister Liang do at home? ”

Sister Liang smiled, "It's nothing more than making some needlework and eating." I heard that Sister Rong can write poetry at such a young age, she is a great little talent. ”

Zhao Rong smiled, "It's nothing, compared to my sister, I'm far behind." "Sister Liang is like this, Zhao Rong didn't pay attention to it at all, in the previous life, Zhao Changqing was so wretched, and Sister Liang couldn't marry into the Ling family, let alone in this life? Now Zhao Rong puts Zhao Changqing first everywhere, and she can't wait to lift Zhao Changqing to the sky.

Sister Liang is a caring person, she pays attention everywhere, and naturally can sense the difference between Ling Teng's treatment of Zhao Changqing.

Even if he just talked to Zhao Changqing, Ling Teng's handsome face would become extraordinarily soft on weekdays. It was not only Sister Liang who paid attention to this, but Second Mrs. Ling had something in her heart and was also very attentive. Usually only when their cousins have a good relationship, when it comes to marriage, Mrs. Ling is very sensitive: this girl is simply too good at pinching her son!

What's even more infuriating is that the usually smart and clever son seems to have become a fool, and he can only giggle when he looks at that girl.

In fact, it was not as exaggerated as Mrs. Ling said, Ling Teng was just smiling more at Zhao Changqing. Ling Teng didn't know what to do, he was happy when he saw Zhao Changqing, and naturally smiled.

There is even Zhao Rong fanning the flames on the side, "My cousin's birthday is in November, do you want to set up a drink and invite us to come over to play." "The more Zhao Changqing is unwilling to get along with Ling Teng, she has to create opportunities for them. Come to think of it, Ling Teng likes it too. Zhao Rong glanced at Ling Teng's handsome face.

"I can't ask for it." Ling Teng smiled, "I'll talk to my sisters now, and then I'll send a post later, but we all have to come together." ”

Ling Teng has always taken care of his sisters, Sister Ling has the best temperament, Second Sister Ling is delicious, Fourth Sister Ling is a good temper, even if she doesn't like Third Sister Ling very much, she can't find anything wrong with this cousin. Therefore, everyone laughed.

When the sisters said goodbye, Ling Teng personally went outside the door to watch the sisters get into the car, and then turned around and went home.

Contrary to Second Mrs. Ling's feelings, Second Uncle Ling was quite pleased, not only because he liked Zhao Changqing, but also because so many nieces and nephews came to congratulate him on his birthday, and his heart as an elder was naturally happy.

Sister Liang fell into a deep inferiority complex, except that Zhao Changqing was not as old as her, just standing so casually, even if Zhao Changqing didn't say a word, she would lose the bottom. Also, being old doesn't seem to be an advantage! Sister Liang smiled bitterly to herself.

Fortunately, although Sister Liang has low self-esteem, her combat effectiveness is still there. She doesn't mix her hands with making soup now, she just blindly serves her aunt Mrs. Ling Er, while pinching Mrs. Ling's shoulder, she said, "We are happy after a lively day." The aunt is in charge of the inside and out, and the aunt's shoulders and neck are hard. "Sister Liang knows that she can't fight for hardware. However, Zhao Changqing is not without weaknesses. Zhao Changqing's biggest weakness is that Second Mrs. Ling doesn't like her.

Second Mrs. Ling smiled with relief, "Good boy, you don't need to do this, you help greet the sisters, you are also tired, go and rest." ”

"I'm just talking with tea and I'm not tired."

I have to say that even Second Mrs. Ling's daughter, Third Sister Ling, has never served her mother like this. Sister Liang obediently served and flattered Mrs. Ling, and Mrs. Ling's heart was as soft as a pool of spring water, and she felt that her niece was even more intimate.

What is the picture for his son to marry a daughter-in-law, is it a picture of longevity? It's not to loosen the burden on your shoulders, someone will share it for you. This candidate must be in line with his own wishes.

Although the niece is intimate, it is ordinary in her mother's family. Zhao Changqing's girl is a fox reincarnated, and now she can hook half of her son's soul, if she gets married in the future, who else can there be in her son's eyes? It's just that thinking of what Zhao Changqing is wearing, if there is such a rich Yue family, his son will indeed benefit a lot.

Second Mrs. Ling silently pondered the question of the choice of her daughter-in-law, and the eldest sister Ling also went home, first greeted her grandparents, and then went to her parents' house. Mrs. Ling smiled and asked, "Is it still lively?" ”

Sister Ling smiled, "It's to celebrate the birthday of the second uncle, and our sisters get together, we didn't invite outsiders, we are all sisters in one place." Brother Teng rested today, and A-Ning also went. ”

Mrs. Ling asked, "Can you see the eldest sister of the Liang family?" ”

"See, a girl who likes to laugh, she is the same age as the third sister, and she looks two months older than the third sister." Sister Ling said truthfully.

A smile tugged at the corner of Mrs. Ling's lips and said, "Okay, you guys can also go back to the house and rest." So he sent his daughters.

As soon as the daughters left, Mrs. Ling couldn't help but snort coldly, and Uncle Ling asked, "Good and decent, what's wrong?" "Yin and yang weird.

Mrs. Ling whispered to her husband, "The eldest sister of the Liang family is a girl from Brother Teng'er's uncle's family, so she lives in Brother Teng'er's house, and she knows that Brother Teng loves to eat mutton, so she cooks it for Brother Teng three times a day." Why this girl came, even the blind man knows the way. ”

Uncle Ling intuitively felt that his wife was talking in her sleep, and reprimanded, "Don't talk nonsense, how old is Brother Teng, and it is rumored that Brother Teng'er's reputation has been ruined!" ”

"Where am I going to go out and say?" Mrs. Ling and Mrs. Ling are not at eye to eye, and they are still a little awkward. However, Ling Teng has been a man since he was a child, so Mrs. Ling Da likes this nephew very much. Mrs. Ling said in a low voice, "Brother Teng, what her mother is thinking, I can guess it with my eyes closed." It's just that I want to help my mother's family, if I want to say, if you want to help, you can generously take some silver out, how can you take Brother Teng'er's lifelong event and toss it blindly! Brother Teng is a promising child, don't delay her. ”

Uncle Ling frowned, "You don't have to say anything about the shadow." ”

Mrs. Ling patted her husband's arm and said, "If there is no shadow, will I chew the root of my nephew's tongue!" You also use your brains, Brother Teng's marriage is not just a matter of the second room! ”

Uncle Ling was silent for a moment and said, "Brother Teng'er's affairs, the second family can't be the master, there is a father." ”

Mrs. Ling said, "In short, you pay attention to it, Brother Teng will definitely pick up two rooms in the future, if the niece and daughter-in-law are the niece of the second family, where is our way to live?" ”

Uncle Ling said, "Okay, Brother Teng is still young, and he can't talk about family affairs." "He had no sons, but he had daughters. Besides, whether the niece and daughter-in-law are good or not depends largely on Ling Teng's attitude. Ling Teng is not the kind of person who is disobedient.

Mrs. Ling rarely had a heart-to-heart relationship with Mrs. Ling, and said, "You should always look at some candidates in advance, the child will grow up in the blink of an eye, and it will be too late to think about it when the matter comes." Let me say, there are very good candidates right now. ”

Uncle Ling didn't speak, and Mrs. Ling said, "What do you think of Miss Qing?" ”

Uncle Ling's eyelids jumped, and Mrs. Ling had already crossed her fingers to tell her husband about Zhao Changqing's benefits, "Brother Teng is only two years old, and he is our family's niece." My sister and I have always been good, and we are young girls, and we are filial to me. You are her own uncle, and you have watched her grow up since she was a child. The appearance of the young girl is better than that of her sister back then, and she is so handsome now, and she will have to add a more word when she grows up in the future. is also a person who has studied since childhood, and she is familiar with poetry and books, and Brother Teng treats her well. What's more, my brother-in-law is already a hundred households in the health center. This family business is categorically wronged by Brother Teng. ”

Uncle Ling said slowly, "You like her as an uncle, can I not like my niece as an uncle?" Changqing is indeed good, her benefits, you can see it, others can also see it. What's more, she is still young, and it's really hard to say what will happen in the future. ”

Mrs. Ling was puzzled and said, "What else can I do in the future?" ”

Uncle Ling sighed slowly, took a sip of the tea in his hand, and said, "My sister and brother-in-law have invited her husband since she was a child, and she has cultivated her so hard. Changqing himself is also angry. If there is a better candidate, won't my sister and brother-in-law choose a better person for Changqing. ”

Mrs. Ling opened her mouth and said, "Brother Teng, is it bad?" "Changfang has no children, so the bloodline of Changfang still has to be inherited by Ling Teng, in the eyes of Mrs. Ling, half of Ling Teng belongs to Changfang. What's more, Ling Teng has always respected her as an eldest uncle. Ling Teng would come over to greet his grandparents every day after school, and according to Ling Teng's intelligence, he was naturally close to Mrs. Ling.

"Brother Teng is not bad, but fame is hard to find." Uncle Ling himself took a lot of effort to take the test before he came out, and he knew the hardships and tortures, and said, "Brother Teng'er is still young, Changqing is even younger, and their marriage will not be talked about for a while." You better worry about the eldest sister's family affairs first, the dowry or something, but it's all ready? ”

The matter of the girl is in front of her, naturally it is more important, Mrs. Ling Da said busily, "We have already stored the wood for the furniture, although it is not a precious wood, it is also a high-quality pine wood, and it will be unsealed at the beginning of spring." Then there is the material, these are now bought on the line, I am thinking of going to my sister's house for a trip, and asking my sister's shop to help us buy it, which is both affordable and knows the roots. ”

Uncle Ling said, "Well, that's fine. ”

Mrs. Ling sighed, "Speaking of the eldest sister, it's time for the second sister, I'm very reluctant." ”

Uncle Ling smiled, "It's not for the girl to find any distant people, let's just find the girl locally, not for anything else, stay in one place, it's also convenient to come and go." ”

Mrs. Ling smiled, "Yes." ”

Mrs. Ling went to Zhao's house the next day and told the Ling family about buying clothes and materials for Sister Ling.

Mrs. Ling said, "Although our family is thrifty, this girl will marry this for the rest of her life." According to my meaning, it is better to buy more seasonal materials, pick out some clothes for the eldest sister to make and bring them over, and put the rest for the time being, after all, the style of this dress is not very different from year to year. With the material, it can be made at any time. ”

"That's what my sister-in-law said." Ling asked with a smile, "What kind of look does sister-in-law want to choose?" ”

Mrs. Ling smiled, "When you asked me, I was a little confused. I don't know much about those good materials. It's just that I think about it, the eldest sister is not married to a wealthy family, but she is still based on benefits. Buy some soft Songjiang cloth, pick some fresh satin, and the rest, when you have a good leather next year, my sister remember to leave me a few pieces. ”

Ling smiled, "Okay." In this way, this year's New Year is about to begin, and there are some materials in the library, which are all in stock this year. When there is a new material in the spring of next year, I asked the shopkeeper to pay attention to my sister-in-law, and if there is a suitable one, I will go to the shop with my sister-in-law to choose. ”

Mrs. Ling smiled, "This dare is good, I have to trouble my sister to help me choose together." ”

Ling smiled, "Yes, the eldest sister is also my niece." Sister-in-law just rest assured, to pick a dowry for our own children, naturally to pick the affordable, I will calculate the purchase price to the sister-in-law, and ensure that the sister-in-law saves a sum of money on this. The sister-in-law's silver just buys more jewelry for the eldest sister, this child has been sensible since he was a child, and he has always been considerate of his parents, which makes people feel distressed. ”

Mrs. Ling sighed, "Who said no, she has done the most work at home, what is delicious, either for my sister, or for my father." She wasn't married yet, and my heart was empty. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled and persuaded, "I heard that the Chen family and the eldest uncle's family live not far away, even if the eldest sister gets married, it is cheap to go back to her parents' house, it is nothing more than a change of place to live." ”

Mrs. Ling smiled, "I often comfort myself like this. I just hope that she will have a smooth life in the future, and I will be relieved. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Big sister has such a good temperament, who will treat her badly?" ”

Mrs. Ling said, "She is just too good-natured, she is our own people at home, and she is willing to protect her." got married, went to my mother-in-law's house, and became someone's daughter-in-law, so I was worried that she was too soft to hold up. At this time, Mrs. Ling was envious of Zhao Changqing's power. Thinking that her daughter is half as powerful as Zhao Changqing, she doesn't have to worry about her being bullied in her in-law's house.

Ling smiled, "Sister-in-law thinks too much, our children, when they are reasonable, they are naturally good-tempered, even if they are unreasonable, they don't have to be afraid, their mother's family is so close, will they still make the child be bullied?" ”

"yes." When the Ling family mentioned this, Mrs. Ling realized more and more that Ling Teng's marriage to a desirable daughter-in-law was too important for their long house. Not to mention anything else, his three daughters will have to count on Ling Teng to take care of them in the future. If Ling Teng marries someone who has the same heart as Mrs. Ling's second wife, it will be difficult to say the facts in the future.

Thinking like this, when Zhao Changqing went out to Zhang Luo for lunch, Mrs. Ling privately told the Ling family about Sister Liang. Although the Ling family treats Ling Teng close to him on weekdays, he does not regard Ling Teng as a son-in-law. Ling Teng is good, but his own daughter is not bad. With Zhao Yong's ascension, Ling's horizons have also broadened a lot.

A girl like Zhao Changqing, who has studied since childhood, has a good manner, and has good looks, even if her lintel is not high and she can't climb the real family, it is not difficult to tell her daughter that she is rich.

However, because of Zhao Changqing's young age, the Ling family has not yet thought about family affairs. Hearing Mrs. Ling say this, Ling raised her eyebrows, "There is such a thing?" The second sister-in-law is not confused. It's not that I'm snobbish, Brother Teng, this child has been sensible since he was a child, and he is my own nephew, so I hope he will be good. With Brother Teng'er's conditions, if he is angry, he can take the exam in 20 before he comes out, and when he says kiss, he will definitely be able to say that he is a good family. ”

Mrs. Ling saw that the Ling family didn't mean to think about it at home, so she just said, "Who said it wasn't." Brother Teng'er and her mother want to help her mother's family, and according to me, no matter how much she helps, there is no reason to take her own son to help. Let's not say that the character of the portal is not a good match, let's say Brother Teng, let's see how hard he has grown up since he was a child, how hard he reads, he can get rewards in school every year, he doesn't ask people to worry about the slightest snack in reading, and he understands the world, but he is not as dull as ordinary scholars. A good boy like Brother Teng will definitely have a great future in the future, and if he is told that a girl who can't read a single word, it will really insult him. ”

Ling said, "Brother Teng is still young, I think the second sister-in-law is also moving thoughts, and the family has Brother Teng'er's roots, Brother Teng'er's relatives, and there is a father." ”

Mrs. Ling said, "If this is not the case, I really can't rest assured." ”

Ling's heart said, everything is fine with the nephew, but there is such a fearless old lady, it really delays the child! With the character of Mrs. Ling's second wife, who knows the roots is willing to marry a good girl, no matter how good Ling Teng is, her mother-in-law is unbearable!

Mrs. Ling said goodbye after eating at noon, and Zhao Changqing said, "Actually, if you want me to say, the eldest aunt doesn't have to prepare those clothes and jewelry for the eldest sister, she really has silver, she would rather marry less, buy a shop for the eldest sister, or buy a hundred and ten acres of land, there is always some interest every year." ”

Ling said, "It's easy for you to say, the shop in a good location is a few hundred taels larger, and more than a thousand silver." It's a field, it's not that you can buy it, ordinary fields, five taels of silver per mu, and a hundred acres will cost five hundred taels. If it's good land, ten taels of silver and one acre won't necessarily get you. Although your uncle's family has been much more prosperous in recent years, there are three sisters in the family, and it will be your second sister's turn after your eldest sister gets married. Shop the field, give it to the eldest and give it to the second, who is happy to be missing. ”

Zhao Changqing nodded, "This is also." "If you only marry Sister Ling, you can naturally afford to marry, and you have three daughters, so you have to think about it more.

Ling smiled, "Don't worry about your eldest sister, these days, it's not about marrying or marrying many ancestral properties, when I first married your father, there was only a small shop at home, and your father was just a small flag." As long as you live your life with your heart, you can always live well. "When it comes to his own family, the Ling family is always a little complacent.

Ling asked again, "You went to celebrate your second uncle's birthday that day, and you can see the eldest sister of the Liang family?" ”

"Why didn't you see it?" Zhao Changqing smiled, "Sister Liang is the niece of the second aunt's mother's family, and she is very compatible with the third cousin, and I think the second aunt also likes her." ”

Ling asked, "How is the girl of the Liang family born?" ”

Zhao Changqing didn't know why the Ling family inquired about Sister Liang, and told the truth, "It's just an ordinary person, born not as good-looking as the third cousin, eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to the second aunt, and the conversation is also like the second aunt, very familiar." ”

Zhao Changqing inquired with the Ling family, "Mother asked the girl of the Liang family what she was doing?" ”

"It's nothing, just ask."

Zhao Changqing thought for a moment and whispered to the Ling family, "Mother, I see that the second aunt likes her very much, maybe she wants to marry a girl from the Liang family for her cousin as a daughter-in-law, right?" ”

Ling Shi was startled and reprimanded, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

Zhao Changqing covered his lips and smiled, "As soon as I cheat, my mother will recruit me." ”

Ling couldn't cry or laugh, and slapped Zhao Changqing, "Where did these thieves come from, and they are dedicated to your mother." ”

Zhao Changqing is a person with ideas, she took this opportunity to say, "Mother doesn't need to ask Sister Liang to worry about her cousin, not to mention that this is the wishful thinking of the second aunt, it is Cousin Teng, how high is his vision, can he look down on Sister Liang?" Even my grandfather couldn't agree with it. ”

Ling said, "I don't know the way, but now that I know the way, I want to ask." Your second aunt has always been confused, and she delayed your cousin. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "As far as the temper of the second aunt, Cousin Teng is outstanding, and his daughter-in-law is not easy to do." Mother-in-law is tricky, not to mention, Cousin Teng has two rooms on one shoulder, and there will be countless rights and wrongs in the future. But anyone who feels sorry for his daughter can't get married. ”

Ling glared at Zhao Changqing and said, "What a girl with no conscience, your cousin treats you best on weekdays, but you say this about him?" This marriage is not marrying a mother-in-law, as long as your cousin has a future interest, you are not afraid of a good life. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Mother is biased to cousin to say this." Don't talk about others, it's the eldest sister who is married, and the eldest aunt doesn't don't inquire about the in-laws. "When a woman marries, it is better to marry a mother-in-law than to marry a man. The Ling family was lucky to meet an old lady Zhao as a mother-in-law, which was really cultivated in the previous life. How did she know the suffering of her mother-in-law, Zhao Changqing's heart was slightly gloomy.

The Ling clan didn't notice Zhao Changqing's mood, but said to Zhao Changqing with a smile, "We are relatives, so I naturally favor your cousin." You are not allowed to say those nonsense words, no matter how bad your second aunt is, she is also a family, so we can only help her hide it. Maybe your cousin will have a good life in the future, and marrying a daughter-in-law who is good in everything will be a blessing for a lifetime. ”

Zhao Changqing saw that the Ling clan had no intention of diverting her and Ling Teng into a pile at all, so he calmed down for the time being.

The author has something to say: Good night ~~~ Do you have this feeling, you die when you hold on, and starve to death when you are hungry~~~
