Zhao Changqing and others came home a little late, because it was the Lantern Festival, and fresh lanterns were hung at home. This is not to buy, Zhao Changqing, Mr. Su, and Xiao Lihuaer are three people who work together to make lights, so this year's lights are free.

Ling Shi hadn't slept yet, he was talking with Zhao Yong in the house, and when he heard the sound of talking outside, he knew that the children had returned.

Zhao Changqing, Zhao Rong, Zhao Changning entered the house, and Ling smiled, "I don't know the time to play this time, I thought you wouldn't come back." Seeing that Liu Er was holding a lot of things, Zhao Changning was carrying fresh and delicate lanterns, and Ling asked, "How did you buy these things?" "She's not stingy, especially during the holidays, when the children go out, the Ling family gives them money, just thinking that if there is anything they like in the lamp market, they should buy it themselves.

Zhao Changning was the first to hold the flower basket lamp and said, "I didn't buy it, it was won back by my sister and Ah Rong, Caitou!" Zhao Changning said the ins and outs, and Zhao Changqing added occasionally. Ling Shi saw the gold bracelet and the four treasures of the study that Zhao Rong won back, and there were jade pendants and two brushes obtained by Zhao Changqing, Ling smiled, "It's really good luck." ”

Zhao Yong asked, "Did Brother Teng and Mingbao get something?" ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Cousin Teng also got a set of four treasures in the study, and Brother Li got a new bow. Sister Ling is the second place, and the first person is the daughter of Zheng Yushi's family. Zhao Changqing asked, "I remember that it was Li Yushi before, and I have also seen the girl of Li Yushi's family, so it is possible that I have changed to a new imperial history." ”

Zhao Yong is a military household, and he is not very clear about the appointment and removal of these officials, and said, "This is the case. ”

Zhao Rong took off her cloak, rubbed her hands and said, "There is also an old lady with gray hair, looking at the same age as the old ancestor, it is actually the old lady who does the throne, and the general's wife and the prefect's wife are sitting on the side." ”

Zhao Yong thought for a while and said, "Ah, that should be Mrs. Wang Xiang." ”

Zhao Rong asked curiously, "Daddy, which king?" Could it be that the old man of the Wang family in the south of the city has come back? "The Wang family in the border city, it is said that it is the branch of the Wang family in the "Old Wang Xie Tang Qianyan", and it is actually the first family in the border city. is based on the wealth of the Zhu family, compared with the Wang family, it is a turtle that has just climbed into the threshold of the scholarly fragrance. Of course, a very important reason why the Wang family can shine so brightly in the border city and is regarded as the first family in the border city is that the old man of the Wang family is complementary in the imperial capital.

Zhao Yong nodded slightly, "Yes, Old Master Wang is old, and he resigned and returned to his hometown to recuperate." When I returned to the border city a few years ago, I heard that both the general and the prefect had gone to meet him. If it is our border city, the one whose fate is still above the general's wife is the old lady Wang. ”

Taking the warm water from the white woman, Zhao Rong took a sip and said with a smile, "The old lady looks quite kind, not majestic at all." ”

Zhao Yong smiled, "Do so majestic to you little girls." Have you shown your grandmother all these things? ”

Zhao Rong smiled, "We will go to the grandmother's house first when we come back." She said innocently and obediently, "Mother, father, can I give this set of four treasures of the study room to my brother?" You can use it when my brother goes to school. ”

Ling and Zhao Yong were all pleased with their youngest daughter's sensibility, but Zhao Changning said, "It's not that I don't have it, you can keep it for yourself." He doesn't like to study at all, so naturally he doesn't have any deep feelings for the four treasures of the study.

Zhao Rong held the teacup and smiled, "How is this the same, this is what I gave to my brother." ”

Zhao Changning reluctantly, "Oh, then give it to me." He said to Ling, "Mother, you put it away for me first." ”

The Ling family is very proud of the color of their two daughters, the quality of things is one thing, the key is the long face. Ling smiled and said to his son, "Look, your sisters and sisters have studied a lot of books to win these many things, and you will have to study well in the future." ”

"Brother Mingbao is good at martial arts, and he has also got a new bow. That bow is called a beautiful one! Zhao Changning was very envious.

Ling knew that he was such a character, and he did not force his son, so he smiled and admonished, "Then learn from your father." ”

Zhao Changning responded loudly.

Zhao Rong took out the gold bracelet she won again and said, "This bracelet is very big, I can't wear it now, so I'll give it to my sister to wear." ”

"I have the bracelet, keep it yourself. Besides, I already have jade. "Where would Zhao Changqing ask for Zhao Rong's things, as long as Zhao Rong doesn't count her things, she will be thankful.

Sure enough, Zhao Rong continued, "I don't have a jade pendant, can I exchange the bracelet with my sister?" ”

Zhao Changqing roasted his hands on the charcoal basin and said with a smile, "If you wait for idle things, my sister likes it, and it doesn't hurt to give it to you." It's just that this jade pendant was specially given to me by Mrs. Wang, how can I give it to my sister? If Mrs. Wang is told that I don't value her mind so much, and transfer it to others, wouldn't it be a matter of life? What we have in our family is jade, mother, you give your sister two pieces, Ah Ning and I are not greedy, whoever calls her young, we will let her. "What a dream! No matter how delicate a bracelet is, it is also an ordinary thing. Her jade is an object that Mrs. Wang carries with her, and there is a difference in weight in front of Mrs. Wang. Zhao Rongmo didn't treat her as a big fool!

Ling stroked his youngest daughter's hair and said softly, "Okay, I'll find two pieces of jade for you to wear tomorrow." Your sister's jade pendant is really not good for you to play with. ”

Zhao Rong gritted her teeth and responded obediently.

Seeing that it was late at night, Ling sent his children to sleep.

Li Mingbao and Li Mingzhu's brothers and sisters also returned home.

When Mrs. Li saw that her son had a new bow, she asked the reason, and she was also full of joy, and asked Li Mingzhu, "Doesn't it mean that there are also ladies who can compare poetry?" You didn't check it out? ”

Li Mingbao looked at his new bow under the lamp and said with a smile, "She went with me to see the arrow competition, and Sister Qing and her sisters won the lottery." ”

Li Mingzhu complained, "My mother doesn't know what to do, as soon as my brother sees Sister Qing, my own sister has to stand aside." asked him to buy a string of sugar gourds, he had to ask his sister if he liked it first, he was so angry! ”

Mrs. Li smiled, "Brother Bao, you are the elder brother, let your sister be better." It's just that I want you to buy some food for her, and you don't buy her less on weekdays, and outside, you have to give your sister face. ”

"I give her face, and she has to give me face. beat me in front of Sister Qing, Sister Qing had promised to make hawthorn sauce for me, and she quietly told Sister Qing not to ask her to give it to me. Li Mingbao said, "My mother also said that I used to hurt her in vain." Other people's girls are all Sven, you look at Mingzhu, she is like a wild man, where can she marry in the future. Li Mingbao is very worried about his sister's life.

"Mingzhu is playing around with you." Mrs. Li smiled, "Don't always run to the Zhao family, Changqing is three years younger than your sister." "My son's heart, no one who is a mother knows what to do. Zhao Changqing is good friends with Li Mingzhu and often comes to Li's house. Speaking from the heart, Zhao Changqing is really getting bigger and more promising, not to mention his appearance, even if he talks and acts, he is also likable. is also a relationship between two girls, and Mrs. Li often sees gifts from Zhao Changqing to her daughter, what purse, handkerchief, and sometimes food snacks. It's not a very valuable thing, many of them are made by Zhao Changqing himself, and the craftsmanship is very good. Such a girl is naturally likable. Especially his son seemed to have suddenly opened his mind last year, although the Zhao family's family background was slightly inferior to his own. However, in these years, the Zhao family pays attention to "marrying a woman from a high door and marrying a woman from a low door", and Mrs. Li is not very opposed to it.

Li Mingzhu drank half a cup of honey water and said with a smile, "I think my brother is blind and enthusiastic, and my sister is still young, so she doesn't mean anything at all." ”

Mrs. Li said angrily, "Don't say such things. You and Changqing are good friends, and now your brother is only thirteen, and Changqing is even younger, so naturally it's nothing. Our two families are good friends, and they are relatives, brothers and sisters, and there are closers. "Speaking of relatives with the Zhao family, it's really not far away. Mrs. Li's mother-in-law is also surnamed Zhu, and she is a half-sister with Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Li and Zhao Yong are serious cousins. It's just that Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li's mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, had a mediocre relationship when they were in the boudoir, so they rarely moved around after marriage. After Zhao Yong made the general banner, the two families really talked about it slowly.

Li Mingzhu smiled, "I know the way, I know the way." Mother, my brother and I met Sister Luan today. ”

Mrs. Li asked, "Didn't you run into your cousin and cousin?" ”

"It's not. Sister Luan was alone with the Ling family sisters and brothers. Li Mingzhu explained, "The sisters and brothers of the Ling family are the cousins of the uncle's sister, how strange you say, it's a big holiday, Sister Luan is not with her own family, but with outsiders." ”

Mrs. Li sighed, "Sister Luan's heart is high. ”

Li Mingzhu smiled, "Don't pay attention to her." There is also a rare thing to tell Niang Zhiludao, Sister Qing's sister, called Sister Rong, Niang Zhilu Dao? ”

"Of course, I know it."

"In the past, I only thought that Sister Qing was a smart person like no other, and Sister Rong was so young that she could write poetry." Li Mingzhu said, "Sister Rong won the third place, and when she waits for an idle child, she just knows a few words at her age." ”

Mrs. Li asked, "Didn't Changqing do it for her?" ”

"No, Sister Qing's poetry is ordinary, and her own poems are not hit." Li Mingzhu sighed, "Their sisters are really amazing, one or two are so smart." ”

Mrs. Li smiled, "This is also innate." It's not that the family hasn't hired a husband for you, you don't study at all, and you waste my money in vain. ”

"There is no smoke on our ancestral grave, and my brother and I are not reading materials." Li Mingzhu blinked, "Sister Qing has learned everything from the subset of scripture and history, and there are half of the books copied in her house." Speaking of which, my brother still really has some vision, it's not that I'm talking big, how many literate girls like Sister Qing can there be? Moreover, she is not only proficient in poetry and books, but also has a good needlework and thread, and she has no sour frame for a person who reads at all. "The girl governor is early, Li Mingzhu has a good relationship with Zhao Changqing, although Zhao Changqing is a few years younger, but if Zhao Changqing can really marry into her family in the future, it is much better than an outsider.

Li Mingbao immediately said, "Isn't it." Sister Qing is a serious Sven. ”

Mrs. Li Mingzhu laughed, and Mrs. Li laughed, "Then you can also keep some." You are learning some skills now, as long as you are promising, our two families have such a good friendship, and when Changqing is older, I can talk to others. ”

"Huh!" Li Mingbao's heart was overjoyed, and he responded loudly, wiping his new bow, the corners of his lips curled, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my martial arts are not learned in vain." ”

When her husband came home, Mrs. Li told her husband about her son's new bow, Li Baihu touched his short beard and smiled to himself, "I haven't learned martial arts in vain in the past few years." ”

Mrs. Li handed her husband a cup of warm water, and then talked about the Zhao family, Li Baihu almost choked on the water, crying and laughing, "Don't talk crazy, the children of the Zhao family are all young, and her daughter is still a doll, let's talk about marriage in two years." ”

Mrs. Li glanced at him, "Changqing is nine years old this year, and he is only four years younger than our son. I think that kid is really good, and Brother Bao is also very interesting. ”

"What?" Li Baihu's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "The two of them are getting better?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mrs. Li hated to block her husband's boundless mouth, and said angrily, "The daughter of the Zhao family has been studying since she was a child, and she knows the rules and etiquette. It's your son who follows Mingzhu to Zhao's house if he has something to do, and his ideas and thoughts can be seen by anyone with long eyes. Changqing is still young, just like Mingbao's brother. Actually, it doesn't matter, it's a relative, so I'll call my brother and sister like this, and I'll see it later. ”

Li Baihu disagreed, "Mingbao, what kind of vision is this, in terms of Zhao Yong's appearance, he is not as good as me, how good-looking can his daughter be?" I remember seeing it once when I was a child, round and round, white and fat. Could it be that our son likes fat people? "Li Baihu doesn't have to ask his son to marry some fairy beauty, but he can't be decent, the face of the family.

Mrs. Li sighed twice, "Your son has a good eye!" ”

Li Baihu said, "When the girl of the Zhao family comes, you tell me, and I will see you too." "It's impossible for such a son, as a father, not to worry about his son's family affairs.

"It's easy, it's just that Changqing is still young, and she's my cousin's niece, so our family can't surprise her."

"Look at what you say. We are serious relatives, and in theory, she has to call you a cousin, and I am my cousin-in-law. Li Baihu smiled, "I'm like her father and brother." It's just that I've never seen it because I've been busy in the past. On our girl's birthday at the end of the first month, invite her to play for a day, I will take a break, simply don't go out, and take a look at her. ”

The husband and wife agreed and then rested.
