Chapter 152
After talking for a while, Second Sister Ling said goodbye to Master Xu, went back to the pharmacy, and said to Zhao Changqing at noon, "I just learned that the medicine store where we buy medicinal materials belongs to my uncle's family." โ
Zhao Changqing didn't laugh at Second Sister Ling, who had been the daughter-in-law of the Xu family for several years, but she didn't know anything about the Xu family's industry, so she only said to her gently, "The Xu family's medicine store is famous in the border city. Master Xu is very reputable in business, a small shop like ours has a small amount of medicinal materials, and the Xu family medicine store does not dislike it, and still takes business seriously. โ
Second Sister Ling said, "I met my uncle today, and he told the shopkeeper that in the future, the medicinal materials in our shop will be calculated according to the price of the big pharmacy." I saw that my uncle said this honestly, so he didn't refuse. "Second Sister Ling is not the kind of person who can be polite.
Zhao Changqing smiled, "This time I'm stained with the light of my second sister." โ
Second Sister Ling smiled, "Don't say this, if you hadn't taken me in, how would I be where I am today?" "She doesn't have much money a month, but it's the money she earns. The money you earn is different from what others give, and you don't need to be cautious, you don't have to be anxious, and you don't need to look at people's faces.
Zhao Changqing said, "If the second sister can't come, I would have asked you to walk." โ
Second Sister Ling smiled, and she was very happy in her heart.
She never liked to be pied on, and she had seen enough of those pitying eyes.
Mr. Zhao Changqing and Mr. Su would rest for an hour at noon, and Second Sister Ling would not go home, so they would rest in Zhao Changqing's house together. Second Sister Ling whispered to Zhao Changqing, "Sister Qing, I have a thought. โ
"What's the head?"
"Silver is a good thing." Second Sister Ling said seriously.
Zhao Changqing smiled, "This is true. โ
"Really." Second Sister Ling said, "In the past, I was in the Xu family, but I was afraid that I didn't know what to do when I came out of the Xu family? Now I earn a few taels of silver by myself, even if it is not much, I feel hard when I eat at home. Women, it is said that there are three obedience and four virtues, but in the end, they also have to rely on their own skills to eat. If you eat a man's house, you have to look at people's faces, and only when you eat your own food can you feel that your waist is hard. Actually, I have never been afraid that Xu Jian will be good with others, even if Xu Jian has changed his mind, I only feel sad, not afraid. What I'm really afraid of is that I have no way out without Xu Lian, so I have endured it. Now I know that I am stupid. โ
Zhao Changqing said, "It's not unusual for the second sister to take the initiative to speak out and leave." "Second Sister Ling did some simple needlework or housework at most when she was in her mother's house, not to mention marrying into the Xu family, there were many slaves and maids, and she didn't have to do anything. How could Second Sister Ling adapt when she first came to the pharmacy, Zhao Changqing often saw her secretly beating her waist and rubbing her legs and pinching her arms, but she just gritted her teeth and suffered. After all those hardships, I got used to it. For Second Sister Ling, adapting to the current life means that she has a new way out.
Or, life is to have these countless hardships and tribulations, and if you can endure them, you can continue to walk. can't stand it, just like yourself in the previous life.
Second Sister Ling has always been able to face her weakness, and whispered, "Actually, when I said that I was leaving, my heart and liver trembled, and my back molars almost collapsed, so I said it." โ
After being silent for a long time, Second Sister Ling said, "Sister Qing, did you say that there is a day when a woman eats with her own hands and lives a reasonable life without a man's food and clothing. โ
"It's not one day, it's from ancient times to the present." Zhao Changqing had a deep understanding and smiled, "Let's say that it is not a big family, and it is not worrying about food and clothing." The second sister has seen a farmer's house in the countryside, and her food and clothing are still reluctant, where can anyone take a concubine? One is that there is no money, and the other is that in a village family, women are the same as men, they still have to work in the fields, and the family has children, cooks, so men will not accept small amounts. To the big family, the biggest household is the royal princess, which one dares to take a room of concubines who marries a princess? If you want me to say, a man's concubine is nothing more than a woman who is inferior to a man. If a woman is really powerful and capable, a man will not dare to be afraid even if he wants to. โ
The two whispered a lot, and Fang gradually fell asleep.
Zhao Changqing is busy with the pharmacy, Zhao Rong is busy socializing with the daughter of the Xu Governor's family, Miss Xu, they are really in love, they love poetry and lyrics, love makeup, love elegance, love Chinese clothes, love poetry and painting, like-minded, like sisters.
When Zhao Rong came back from the poetry meeting, she was full of interest and talked to her mother about the interesting things in the poetry meeting, what rare food snacks she ate, what rare flowers, birds, insects and fish she saw, what good poems she made, and how she was praised by others. Ling was full of pride and listened to Zhao Rong, "Today, Sister Xu wore a butterfly hairpin, a silk butterfly golden hairpin, which is very beautiful, and the butterfly's wings can move." โ
Ling smiled, "What should I be, your sister also has a butterfly hairpin, don't say that the wings can move, the butterfly whiskers can move, and the wings are full of bright diamonds, not to mention how beautiful it looks in the sun." โ
Zhao Rong said, "Sister Xu's butterfly hairpin was bought on the silver building on the archway street, of course, it can't be compared with my sister's." โ
Ling Shi smiled when he heard this, and asked, "Do you want that butterfly hairpin too?" "A hairpin is worth muttering for so long.
Zhao Rong's eyes were shining, and she smiled and was tired of being coquettish beside her mother, "Mother, you buy it for me?" โ
"What's this, now that you're old, it's time to dress up, not to mention that when you go out and walk around, you must always have a few decent outfits, and you can't be underestimated." The husband's six products and hundreds of households are doing steadily, the youngest daughter is thirteen, and the Ling family is also in the mood to dress up her daughter.
Zhao Rong bent her eyes happily.
When Zhao Yong went home in the evening, Zhao Rong was not in the main house, and Ling was instructing Bai Pozi, "Ming'er will go to the silver building on the archway street and ask how much silver the butterfly hairpin is, buy one back." โ
The white woman responded.
Seeing her husband come back, Ling Shi hurriedly got up and smiled, "I'll come back early today." He personally poured a cup of warm tea and handed it to her husband, and sent the white woman down. Zhao Yong asked casually, "What hairpin?" โ
"It's Ah Rong who came back from the poetry meeting, saying that the prefect Miss Xu wore a butterfly hairpin, which is the new style of the silver building on the archway street, and I asked Bai Pozi to buy it back tomorrow for her to wear." Ling smiled, "When the child is older, it's time to dress up." โ
Zhao Yong said, "Since it's good, buy two, one for Changqing and one for Ah Rong." โ
Ling smiled, "Changqing has it, Changqing's butterfly hairpin was given to her when Mr. Ouyang was there before, it is very beautiful, and there is nowhere to buy it." โ
Zhao Yong drank all the tea in two sips, put the celadon cup on the table, and said, "Then buy something else for Changqing, they are all our daughters, Changqing is sensible, although she doesn't fight for this, we parents can't ignore it." โ
"That's fine." It's nothing more than buying two more pieces of jewelry, Ling doesn't care, she has other important things in her heart to discuss with her husband. Ling whispered to her husband, "Do you want to ask someone to watch feng shui?" โ
Zhao Yong was surprised and asked, "What feng shui do you see?" โ
"Our family has never been bad on weekdays, why is Changqing's marriage always so unsmooth?" Ling Shi said worriedly, "Last time, I went to the Yuelao Temple with my sister-in-law to burn incense, and I also specially asked Changqing for a signature. โ
"Didn't you ask for a signature?" I remember that my wife was happy for a while, why is she sad now?
"Yes, you said that I don't know where this marriage is, what's the use of signing it?" Ling's heart was anxious, "The girl's youth has only been in the past few years, and if it is delayed, the young men of the same age have all married, what else can Changqing marry." โ
Zhao Yong was actually anxious, and thought about it, "It's better to wait for things to fade down before talking about family affairs." โ
The Ling family sighed, and was about to say something, when he heard the girl ring outside, it was Zhao Changqing who came back. When Zhao Changqing entered the house, Ling smiled, "You are busier than your father's errand." โ
Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's a bit delayed." Yongfu was holding a black soft armor in his hand, Zhao Changqing took it and handed it to Ling's family, and said, "This is what I asked the shopkeeper Li to find, soft gold woven armor, which my father wears on his body on weekdays, and it is lighter than iron armor." "If you don't fight in the army, Zhao Yong is not used to always wearing iron armor.
Ling took it and looked at it, touched the soft one, some of the weight was not too heavy, and there was an ordinary layer of black material sewn on the outside, Ling asked, "Is it really golden?" โ
Zhao Changqing said, "The gold silk is densely woven, and there are two layers of rhinoceros leather inside and outside, and the black cotton cloth on the outside is coaxing, and my father remembers to wear it on his body." I heard from the shopkeeper that many medicinal materials had to be supplied to the army camp first, and now the doctors in several large pharmacies have been requisitioned. I guess there's a fight going on outside. โ
Ling's face changed, and he hurriedly asked her husband, "Is there really a fight?" โ
Zhao Yong said, "Even if it is a war, it is a small battle, and the guard has not heard of it, so we are still some distance away from the pass after all." โ
Ling stroked his chest, "Fortunately, our family has some food that we haven't sold. โ
Zhao Changqing saw that the Ling clan was scared, and persuaded, "Mother, don't worry, unless you hit outside the city, you don't need your father and them." โ
Ling sighed, "I just hope for peace as soon as possible." Hurriedly put away the gold weaving soft armor that Zhao Changqing brought back, and asked her, "This costs a lot of silver, right?" โ
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Mother just took it, and I naturally told my mother when I didn't have enough money." โ
Ling didn't ask anymore.
The border city only heard that there were several small battles outside, and each had a victory or defeat, so the barbarians retreated.
Old Lady Zhao and the Ling family gave the Bodhisattva a few sticks of incense, but with such news, the prices of firewood, rice, oil and salt in the border cities have risen in different ranges. In addition to grain, there are many salted meats, hams, dried vegetables and the like in the kiln of the Zhao family.
Summer went to autumn, the war gradually passed, and a great joy came from the imperial court, and the emperor was registered.
In layman's terms, the emperor married a daughter-in-law.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with the Zhao family's petty officials, but the emperor took advantage of marrying his daughter-in-law to reward the three armies, and the guard office was also rewarded, and Zhao Yong got an extra month. What really surprised the Zhao family was the news that Mrs. Zhu said when she went to Zhu's house, "Queen Song is really blessed, when she was exiled to the border city, she died nine times for a lifetime, and she can still turn the crisis into safety, which shows that it is really a blessing and a great life, and the sky blesses her." โ
Old Lady Zhao didn't understand it yet, so she asked suspiciously, "Mother, when did Empress Song come to the border city?" โ
Yuan smiled, "Aunt doesn't know yet, it's the Song girl who was saved by Cousin Yong, and now she is married by the current Majesty Xiร Ming Media, and the three media are appointed as the queen of the Middle Palace." โ
Old Lady Zhao turned a corner, nodded and smiled, "Oh, it turned out to be that Song County Jun." "The Zhao family only knew that Miss Song was given the title of noble lady when she returned to the emperor, and they didn't know that Queen Song was originally this Song girl. That's a ...... That's great! Old Mrs. Zhao showed joy in her heart, "I heard Ah Yong say a few days ago that after His Majesty set up, he rewarded the three armies, and the guard was also stained, and he got an extra month. If I hadn't heard my mother talk about it today, I would still be confused. โ
Mrs. Zhu smiled, "I'm afraid you don't know, so I'll tell you." "Who would have thought that Miss Song would be able to do this? Zhao Yong caught up, and Mrs. Zhu was also very happy. Originally, Song Shilang of the household department was young and strong, and he won the heart of the emperor, and tightly pressed the head of Master Zhu, who was also the head of the household waiter. Now that the Song family has established itself, the Song family has been promoted to a relative, and Song Shilang has resigned from the position of Hubu Shilang with interest. Song Shilang walked away with his buttocks, and Master Zhu was promoted from the third-in-command of the household department to the second-in-command of the household, even if someone was promoted to the waiter, he would also be under the old man Zhu.
The Yuan family naturally knows the reason, she is already a person who is good at flattery, and she is more enthusiastic about the Zhao family. Zhao Changqing is a shrewd person, she couldn't help asking, "Ancestor, think about it, the draft was the year before last, Queen Song broke her leg in the border city, so she had to raise it for three months, how to enter the palace draft?" โ
Mrs. Zhu sent the girl in the house and said, "It's okay for us to talk at home, this Queen Song herself has not been drafted, originally the Queen Mother gave her to her niece and nephew, for some reason, Queen Song and Her Majesty Xiร had a personal affair outside the palace, and now there is a dragon heir, and the ministers were originally strongly opposed to the establishment of Queen Song as the main palace." Helplessly, His Majesty insisted on going his own way, so he set up the queen. โ
This news is definitely much more exciting than 'Zhao Yong's shit luck saved a girl, and this girl became the queen, and then Zhao Yong became the queen's life-saving benefactor', the Zhao family all stared wide, their eyes fell to the ground, and they didn't know what to say.
Cow!
What a cow!
It is quite good to be able to get the emperor outside the palace, and what is even more awesome is that Queen Song can still get the emperor in the palace even if she is married, and after getting it, she can also conceive a dragon heir, so that the emperor can make her the queen!
This is no ordinary cow man!
With Queen Song Zhuyu in front, those concubines in the harem who can sleep with the emperor can vomit their hearts, livers and lungs depressed!
When the Zhao family said goodbye to the Zhu family, their legs were floating.
For a small family like the Zhao family, Empress Song's existence has definitely broken their outlook on life and worldview.
To Zhao Changqing's surprise, Zhao Rong's legs were also floating. She didn't know anything about the world in her previous life, looking at Zhao Rong's expression, could it be that Queen Song didn't become an emperor in her previous life, or what?
Zhao Changqing ignored Zhao Rong's unexpected look as if she had thundered, she was actually shocked by Queen Song's strong path to the throne, but after all, Zhao Changqing was a person who had studied for more than ten years in her life, and it was not surprising that she thought about it. Wu Zetian didn't sleep with Tang Taizong yet, but also with Tang Gaozong. Tang Xuanzong still picked up ashes. Not to mention Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and his wife, she was originally a second marriage. The matter of Empress Song, at first glance, was extremely shocking, and it was not uncommon in the history books of the past dynasties.
Song Jiayan quickly accepted the persuasion of the history books, and after returning home, he also helped Mrs. Zhao and the Ling family to do a popularization of historical ideology and politics.
When Zhao Yong learned about this at night, it was also very difficult to digest. Ling persuaded him, "This is the ability of Empress Song." "If in the market and countryside, whoever steals a man, whether it is a hardship or not, whether it is the woman's fault or not, it is always the woman's fault in people's mouths. But, it's time for Queen Song! A woman stole a man and stole it to the emperor's head, and the emperor married her to a famous matchmaker, and the bullying in human nature naturally attacked, and it boiled down to this sentence in Ling's mouth: This is the ability of Queen Song!
Yang Guifei was picked up by her father-in-law Tang Xuanzong, and Bai Juyi had to sigh in the poem: So the hearts of parents all over the world will not be reborn male and female.
This is the people of the time and the people of the world.
Or, that's the human โกโก.
Zhao Yong had a cup of tea to digest the news and said, "Yes." Fu sighed again, "I can't think of it again." At that time, he was just listening to his daughter's persuasion, thinking that everyone else was rushing to save Prince Rende, and it was not his turn to take the credit. Then, half providential, half man-made, he saved Miss Song. At that time, she was only the daughter of a high-ranking official, and she never imagined that she was where she is today.
Zhao Yong sighed very, "It's really unthinkable." โ
Seeing her husband like this, Ling couldn't help but smile, "If everyone wants to get today, where will it be your turn to save Miss Song." โ
Zhao Yong smiled and was relieved, "This is too." โ
Zhao Yong confirmed again and said, "Changqing is really a lucky star for our family!" โ
The author has something to say: Good night, I'm a little tired today, and it's even more late~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From a hard-hitting guy who killed his younger brother, he has evolved to Fuxing, which should be the result of more than ten years of hard work since Changqing's rebirth~
