Chapter 29
Out of the first month, the weather is getting warmer, the trees are budding, the flowers and plants are dyed green, and everything is full of spring.
After eating spring cakes on February 2, Zhao Changqing wore a willow bud yellow skirt and followed Mrs. Zhao to Zhu's house to greet the ancestors.
Old Mrs. Zhu smiled when she saw it, "Miss Qing's clothes are really beautiful." ”
Zhao Changqing saluted and said with a smile, "Thank you for the praise of your ancestors." This is the new skirt that my mother made for me this year, and my ancestors saw that I had embroidered flowers and grass on the sleeves of this shirt. ”
Mrs. Zhu smiled and nodded, "Yes, the embroidery is so beautiful." ”
"Mother said that this dress has no patterns, so it is embroidered with some flowers and plants, and it is beautiful to wear." Zhao Changqing said childishly.
Mrs. Zhu smiled, "Your mother is very good at dressing you up." ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "My mother is also very good at dressing up my little brother and little sister. ”
Mrs. Zhu said to Mrs. Zhao, "As the saying goes, filial piety is not as good as filial piety, and it is good for your daughter-in-law to marry." ”
Mrs. Zhao was already a kind-hearted person, and said with a smile, "Yes, I have left a lot of family affairs in the past few years, and Changqing and her mother are taking care of it." Now that there is Brother Ning and Sister Rong, there are more children in the family, and it is very lively. "Mrs. Zhao is not like an ordinary mother-in-law, who is in charge of the family until she is angry, and she holds the power of the family to death. Since the Ling family entered the door, after the old lady Zhao taught the Ling family to get started, she carefully observed and handed over all the family affairs to the Ling family to take care of for half a year. is the matter of the shop, and Mrs. Zhao no longer cares, so they let the young couple take care of it. Therefore, don't look at the Zhao family is not rich, the Ling family's life as a daughter-in-law is extremely comfortable. Especially after Zhao Changqing figured it out in the past few years, the relationship between mother and daughter has gradually improved, and Ling's gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, which is really a twin child, husband and wife are harmonious, mother-in-law is considerate, and everything goes well.
"That's good." Mrs. Zhu smiled, "When my brother and sister are older, bring them to me to see." ”
"I don't need my mother to say anything, I have to bring them to my mother to say goodbye. Changqing's mother gave birth to two at once, thanks to the old ginseng given by her mother, she was carefully adjusted during the confinement, and the doctor said that she was very good. Mrs. Zhao smiled, "First of all, Changqing is four years old, and her mother's stomach hasn't moved yet, so I don't say it, and I'm a little anxious." ”
Mrs. Zhu smiled, "It can be seen that there is no need to worry, who is as capable as your daughter-in-law, who will give birth to two at once." ”
Mrs. Zhao also laughed, and listened to Mrs. Zhu ask, "Is there a person who gave birth to twins or dragon and phoenix fetuses on her ancestor?" ”
Mrs. Zhao said, "I heard from my daughter-in-law that her aunt gave birth to twins. ”
Mrs. Zhu nodded, "It's no wonder, I can't say that Changqing's mother is reborn, or a dragon and phoenix fetus." ”
Mrs. Zhao smiled, "I hope that my mother's words will be answered." ”
Both old ladies laughed.
As he was talking, Zhu Ling and Zhu Chan came over with Chen's Yuan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Zhao Changqing met with Chen's Yuan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and greeted the sisters. Yuan smiled, "I haven't seen Changqing for a few days, why haven't you come to play with your sisters?" ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Auntie, my mother gave birth to my little brothers and sisters, and I help my mother take care of them at home." ”
Seeing her talking like a little adult, Yuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Changqing is really becoming more and more sensible, in a few days, your eldest sister will hold a banquet and invite the little sisters to visit the garden, Changqing, you will also come, and be lively together." ”
Zhao Changqing asked, "What day is it, I will definitely come." ”
Zhu Ling smiled, "Mother is just fast-talking, and I haven't thought about it yet." A few days later is the prefect's sister Yang's flower-viewing banquet, the middle of the month is the birthday of Miss Li Tongzhi's family, the earliest is the end of the month, then look at the good weather, the garden also has some scenery, I want to invite the sisters who are good friends to visit the garden. When the time comes, I'll send someone to tell my sister. ”
Yuan said, "Don't forget to give a post to the General's Mansion, Miss Chu just came to the border city, you are the same age, and you should come and go more." ”
Zhu Ling hesitated a little and said, "I don't know if Miss Chu likes to participate in such a banquet." ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Sister Chu likes her cousin very much, she also mentioned her cousin to me, saying that her cousin is beautiful and behaves well." Don't worry, cousin, as long as you post in the past, Sister Chu will definitely arrive. ”
Zhu Ling smiled, "Why did you mention me?" ”
"It's Sister Chu who received a post from the prefect's daughter's family, and my cousin told me before that you are good friends with Miss Yang of the prefect's family, so I mentioned it in passing, saying that my cousin will also go, so naturally I mentioned my cousin. Sister Chu also asked me if I would go, I didn't know a few big characters, where would I make poems. Zhao Changqing smiled, the key is that she is not familiar with the prefect or something. Chu Yue herself has only had a few encounters with the prefect's young lady, where is she good to follow.
Zhu Ling smiled, "Sister Qing is only a few years old, and I haven't learned to read and write at your age." Even now at home, I just learned some poetry and rhyme with my female husband, but everyone is just having fun. ”
Yuan smiled, "The little sisters haven't seen each other for a few days, today is a good day, when I passed by the garden, I saw that the spring flowers were blooming, and the wind was warm, not cold at all." Why don't you take your sisters to the garden? ”
Saying that, Yuan said to Mrs. Zhu again, "Ancestor, simply set up the meal in the warm pavilion in the garden at noon, although the charcoal fire is extinguished in the warm pavilion, it is not cold today." In this way, you can not only use the food, but also enjoy the scenery, wouldn't it be both? ”
Mrs. Zhu smiled, "You can arrange it." Their little sisters visited the garden and sent a few more proper maids to serve. ”
"Ancestor, don't worry."
Zhao Changqing often comes to Zhufu, but there are not many times when he visits the garden.
Zhufu is one of the best families in the border city, the garden is naturally well maintained, especially in the spring warming, the flowers and trees in the garden spit out green warblers and birds, and there are already some scenery to enjoy. It should be more beautiful at the end of the month, and it is no wonder that Zhu Ling will set the time for visiting the garden at the end of the month.
After coming for half a day, I didn't see Zhu Xi. Zhao Changqing watched the beautiful scenery in the garden and asked, "Sister Ling, why don't you see Sister Xi?" ”
Zhu Ling sighed, "The second sister is weak, and she gets sick a few times every winter. It's easy to start spring, a few days ago, I read a book and boiled up, and I had a little fever, not very comfortable. She was sick, and her aunt was tired and tired, and she was also sick. ”
This is the end of not being able to eat raw! Zhao Changqing sighed in his heart, and said with concern in his mouth, "I was supposed to visit Cousin Xi, but I thought that people who were recuperating were afraid of making noise, so I went rashly, but asked Cousin Xi to bother to talk to me, if she was tired and sick again, I would be at ease." Cousin Xi, Cousin Lao Ling will help me greet you. ”
Zhu Ling smiled, "Sister, don't worry, when she gets better, I'll tell her." ”
Zhao Changqing looked at some flowers, birds, insects and fish, pavilions and pavilions, and saw beads of sweat between Zhu Chan's foreheads, so he said, "Sister Ling, let's go to the pavilion and sit and talk for a while." ”
Zhu Ling glanced at Zhu Chan and said with a smile, "It's okay." As he spoke, he leaned over and asked Zhu Chan, "My sister is tired, my sister will carry you away." ”
Zhu Chan shook his head, "Big sister, I'm not tired yet." ”
The grandmother beside Zhu Chan smiled, "How dare you work the big girl, the slave and maid are holding the third girl." ”
Zhu Chan insisted, "I'm not tired, I don't need to be hugged by my grandmother." ”
Zhu Ling took her little hand and went to the pavilion together, and after a while, Yahuan brought refreshments and fruits, and the three of them talked while eating snacks.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, the pavilion simply opens the window, the sunlight shines in, it is very bright, and from time to time there is a soft spring breeze to send a faint fragrance of grass and trees, and there is an indescribable comfort. Outside the window is a pool of clear water, several weeping willows are planted near the water, and now the willow branches are sprouting, stretching and hanging softly in the pool water. There is little rain in the border city, and Zhao Changqing doesn't know how the pool of water in the Zhu family is stored.
She often heard Chu Yue say that there was a lot of water in the south, and she could also sail on the lake or the sea, it was really an unimaginable scene, Zhao Changqing only felt that this pool of water was already very beautiful.
She didn't feel distracted, so she heard a voice outside laugh and asked, "You little girl, you always stare at a certain look, don't you look at a certain beauty, and your spring heart is pounding?" ”
Zhao Changqing looked around and saw which bastard dared to say such a thing! It's just that from Zhao Changqing's point of view, he can only see a lilac-colored robe in the corner of the green willows.
Outside, Yahuan was already smiling and saluting, and her speech was very casual, "The maid has seen the old lady, the old lady is not joking, this is Miss Sun of the second old aunt's family, your great-granddaughter, Miss Qing." ”
"My God, this is such a long list of names, and I hear that a certain mind is dizzy. I told you not to call me the old lady, I feel that I have become a scumbag when I call the master, you add an old word, I always feel sad for no reason every time I hear it. As he spoke, the old lady came leisurely.
Zhu Ling and Zhu Chan got up to greet each other at the door of the pavilion, and Zhao Changqing naturally had to follow, she looked at her for a moment, and said in her heart, my good girl, where is her great-grandfather, who looks a little less than her grandmother, not to mention the old lady Zhu who is full of wrinkles and has been worrying about it for decades. To put it mildly, Mrs. Zhu's current appearance is not like Mrs. Zhu's wife, but like his wife. It's strange that this old gentleman still dares to wear such a sassy bag color at his age, and people do have such capital.
Mrs. Zhu put one hand behind his back, with a jade ribbon around his waist, and his figure is still tall, even if he is an old man, he is by no means short of charm. He waved his hand casually, "No need to be polite." The eyes that were still beautiful glanced at Zhao Changqing's face and smiled, "I often sigh that I was born with such a peerless beauty, but none of the ten sons and five daughters inherited it, which is really unfair." Now it seems that the way of heaven is not negative to me, you girl is very good. ”
Although Mrs. Zhu lives at home, Zhu Ling doesn't see much, in fact, even Mrs. Zhu rarely sees her husband. Mrs. Zhu doesn't need his children and grandchildren to wake up in the morning, most of the time, he likes to stay in his yard, or go out to visit friends and have fun, and often disappear for ten days and a half months. Once Mrs. Zhu went out and didn't show up for two months, so anxious that Master Zhu Liu almost hanged himself, after all, his brother was an official outside, and his parents were supported by him. From then on, Master Zhu Liu strongly demanded that his father must say hello to him wherever he goes, otherwise he will be unfilial and force him to die. Master Zhu Zhu put forward this reasonable filial piety request, who knew that Master Zhu simply twisted his face, wolf-hearted dog lungs, "If you want to die, please die early, just don't die in front of me." Therefore, everyone thought that Master Zhu Liu's ability to support his parents was a big advantage, and the person who said this really didn't have a backache when he stood and spoke.
Zhu Ling is very unfamiliar with this unobtrusive great-grandfather, she is still young, and she doesn't know what to say for a while, Zhu Chan is even more silent, but Zhao Changqing has recovered from the old man's remaining beauty, looking at the face of Mrs. Zhu who has been treated very well by the years, she smiled slightly, "How dare the light of the fireflies compete with the bright moon." My great-grandfather is now elegant and handsome, but it's a pity that I was born many years later, and I didn't have the opportunity to see my great-grandfather when he was young. ”
Mrs. Zhu laughed, "You are much more interesting than your grandmother, she is a very rigid person." ”
Zhao Changqing didn't judge much, only smiled, "Thank you great-grandfather." ”
Mrs. Zhu seemed to really like her, and leaned over to hug her, and said with a smile, "There is a smell of milk, and the fragrance of osmanthus candy." ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "I just ate osmanthus cake." "You've got a good old nose.
Mrs. Zhu put her on the stool and sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that I have something to do today, so I can't play with you more." Come, this jade pendant will be a gift for you. He took out a piece of jade from his sleeve and stuffed it to Zhao Changqing, swept his eyes to the table, and pinched a piece of osmanthus cake on the table, Mrs. Zhu took a bite and shook his head, "The kitchen is lazy, there is frost sugar in it, not honey." "Tell Yahuan," told the cook to make a new plate. Put the missing osmanthus cake back on the plate, and Mrs. Zhu walked away.
Zhao Changqing lowered his eyes and glanced at the newly obtained jade jue in his hand, which was as smooth as mutton fat, and said in his heart: It's another small fortune.
