Chapter 32
Zhao Rong was suppressed by Zhao Changqing's words that if the spirit rune was ineffective, he would go to ask the witch, not only did she obediently drink the spirit rune water for five days in a row, but Zhao Rong, who had drunk the spirit rune water, was finally willing to settle down and no longer dared to speak in vain.
Zhao Rong was honest, and Ling's heart also fell back into her stomach.
Zhao Changqing learned needlework from the old lady at the beginning of the year, and now she can use the whole needle to hook the edge, she found some bits and pieces of cloth, practiced hooking a lot of small handkerchiefs, and gave them to Mrs. Zhao, Zhao Yong, and Ling, two for each person.
Although the handkerchief was not embroidered, Zhao Yong was still very moved, praised again and again, and said, "Alas, my daughter is really skillful, look at how beautiful this handkerchief is." I looked at it, and it was better than the ones sold in the shops outside. ”
Ling Shi looked at the stitches carefully, nodded and said, "It's rare for a beginner to be able to do it so neatly. Your grandmother's craft is a serious Suzhou embroidery, there is no second part in the border city, you can learn it, whether it is to make clothes or embroidery patterns in the future, it is a craft. ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Grandmother also said that I learned very well, and my mother used the thread hiding method when I saw that I was collecting needles later, so that I couldn't feel the thread pimples outside." Moreover, this is a handkerchief made of fine yarn, and I can't use too thick thread, so I split the thread and split eight strands. ”
"It's strange that it's so detailed." Ling smiled, "It's much better than when I first started learning embroidery." ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Grandmother told me not to rush, but to do it slowly." ”
Zhao Changqing liked embroidery all her life, although there was endless needlework at that time, she still liked it. Now she doesn't have to work as hard as she did in her previous life, she divides the time evenly, doing up to half an hour of needlework every day, and also changes to the best time in the morning. The rest of the time, I still study in the morning and practice calligraphy in the afternoon.
Letting go of those things in his previous life, Zhao Changqing began to learn to enjoy his life leisurely.
It's just that since Zhao Changqing watched "The Analects", the old lady is not very capable of teaching her. Zhao Yong is busy with the guards now, and he doesn't bother to ask Zhao Changqing for a gentleman. It was still Ling Shi Dao, "You ask someone outside to ask, see if there is a suitable gentleman, invite one for Changqing." The old lady is old, and now she has to teach Changqing needlework, and it is not good to make the old man too tired. I think my daughter is really spiritual, and in the future, Brother Ning will not say that she can go to her grandmother's family to study, that is, Sister Rong, and I also want her to read and write. "Ling is a high-spirited person, especially Zhao Changqing has been very caring and sensible since he was studying, and his every move is also strong with those wild girls outside, and Zhao Changqing has made a few good friends, various reasons are intertwined, Ling is very willing to cultivate his daughter.
Zhao Yong patted his head, "Look at me, I forgot about it." Well, I'm going to ask someone to ask, and I'll also go to the tooth store to inquire. "In these years, the dental industry is not only engaged in human trafficking, but also employment agencies and real estate economy.
"Just keep it in mind."
Ling said, "Second brother, they have bought a new house, and now they have moved over, and today someone came to tell me that this second brother has a warm house wine at home, and asked our family to come over." ”
Zhao Yong hadn't been to Yue's house for some days, and asked in surprise, "Where did you move?" "It's been half a year since the family was divided.
Ling sighed, "There are too many trivial things, isn't it just pulling it out." ”
Zhao Changqing interjected, "The second aunt hates to even pull my grandmother's dowry to my own house, and the eldest aunt came over a few days ago and complained to my mother very much." Originally, the second uncle's family got a shop, and the long house got a hundred acres of land, and the second uncle had to be given 100 taels of silver for the second uncle to use to buy a house. Later, the second aunt was not convinced, saying that it was a long house, and there were several troubles, and the chickens and dogs were restless. That's just to figure it out. In fact, Ling Teng couldn't stand it anymore, and sat on the edge of the stone well in the courtyard and said cruel words: If he tosses like this again, he will jump directly into the well! Then the family was frightened, and Mrs. Ling didn't make any trouble anymore and moved obediently.
Even when Mrs. Ling went to Zhao's house to talk to Ling, she said, "If it weren't for the fact that Brother Teng'er was really sensible, I really hated not to be in contact with him for the rest of my life." ”
Ling Shi smiled, "As long as your mouth is fast, you can't hold anything in your heart, and you have to talk to your father before you stop." ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Mother is from our old Zhao family, in front of my father, my son and daughter are all around, what else is there to say." ”
Zhao Yong smiled and said to the Ling family, "You see how knowledgeable our daughter is. ”
"I don't know where I learned to be so tricky." Ling's face was slightly red, and she said to her husband, "You can go with us on the day you take a nap." The second brother is a good person, that is, the second sister-in-law, and her temper is never pleasant. But what's the solution, they're all real relatives. ”
Zhao Yong smiled.
In any case, the second room took half a year to move out after the separation, and there must be a cheap one, for example, the furniture is quite familiar. Of course, when dividing the family, in addition to the big heads of the acres of shops, small pieces such as furniture should also be divided. Although the Ling family has nothing of value, there are also some broken copper and iron. Obviously, the second room of the big house was divided into these broken copper and iron again, and it is said that Mrs. Ling even moved the broom to sweep the floor to the house.
Zhao Yong went to talk to Ling's second uncle, and Ling took Zhao Changqing to the inner house.
It is not easy for Xiao Erjin to divide the inner house and the outer house, but Mrs. Ling Er also divided the male and female guest rooms.
Ling Teng's rest time in school is the same as the rest day of officialdom, so Ling Teng is also at home, but there is still a small bruise at the corner of his lips, looking like he has been beaten.
When the Ling clan saw that there was no one who didn't ask, he said, "Brother Teng, why is this hurt?" ”
Before Second Mrs. Ling could speak, Third Sister Ling said quickly, "If you are disobedient, you will jump into the well, which frightened my father and grandfather, and my father was so angry that my father beat him." ”
Ling Teng smiled slightly, and said calmly, "Auntie, don't worry about me, it's okay." ”
Ling Shi said softly, "That's good." You are a sensible child, you should talk to your parents slowly about something, and you must not risk yourself to make your parents worry. ”
"I remember." Ling Teng handed a piece of chestnut cake to Zhao Changqing and said, "I haven't seen my sister for a while, and my sister has grown taller again." ”
Zhao Changqing thanked him, then held it in his hand with a handkerchief, and said, "My cousin looks like he's lost weight, is he too tired from studying?" That's a lot of food. ”
Ling Teng smiled, "Okay." What is my sister studying now, and is she still reading the Analects? ”
"I have memorized the Analects, and now I am reading Mencius." Zhao Changqing said, "I think "Mencius" is better than "Analects". ”
"Why did my sister say that?"
"Confucius" is to ask people to be saints, and "Mencius" is more approachable and makes people be mortals."
Third Sister Ling listened boredly and asked, "My sister has read the Four Books and Five Classics?" ”
"It's just a matter of thinking." Zhao Changqing said, "I heard that my sister is also studying last time, I don't know which article my sister read?" ”
Ling San rolled his eyes, pointed at Ling Teng and said, "The eldest young master doesn't know what kind of tone Lu Dao gambles, and he said that he taught me to read and write, and now he won't teach me." ”
Ling Teng said lightly, "Nowadays, the schoolwork in the home school is getting tighter, my sister either goes to the shop with my mother, or goes out to visit relatives and friends, when I have free time, I often can't see my sister, how to teach you." ”
Third Sister Ling sighed and complained, "Anyway, you always have a reason. ”
Ling Teng said, "My sister can always find a reason if she is not satisfied." ”
Seeing that Ling Sanjie's face changed slightly, Ling Teng didn't wait for her to have a seizure, so he smiled and said to Zhao Changqing, "There are two pots of moon season in my room, and they are blooming in the past two days, so I will take my sister over to take a look." ”
There are two sisters and brothers in the Ling family, Zhao Changqing doesn't like it, Ling Sanjie is a snobbish fool, and Ling Teng is quite scheming. However, Zhao Changqing really didn't bother to listen to Ling Sanjie's yin and yang weirdness, and said to Ling, "Mother, I went to see the flowers with my cousin." ”
Ling was talking to Second Mrs. Ling, and smiled when she heard this, "Go ahead." ”
Third Sister Ling immediately said, "I'll go too." ”
Second Mrs. Ling didn't care, and admonished, "You are an older sister, take care of your younger brothers and sisters." ”
Zhao Changqing had seen that Ling Teng was tired of his eyebrows, but Ling Teng was a very patient person, he didn't have a seizure, he didn't say a word of objection, he took Zhao Changqing and Ling Sanjie over, and Ling Sanjie didn't forget to hold the plate of dim sum.
The population of the second room is not large, even if the house is not large, it is enough for children to have a room.
Ling Teng's house was very simple, there was a pot of half-opened moon flowers on the bookcase, this flower was very spicy, a kind of flower that could live anywhere. In a small flower pot, a small plant, only three or five flower buds, lined with green branches and leaves, cleaned up neatly, there is a faint fragrance of flowers lingering in front of the nose.
Ling Teng invited Zhao Changqing to sit in the chair in front of the case, and pulled a round stool to sit on himself.
Ling Sanjie put the dim sum on the table, and moved another stool herself, Ling Teng had already poured three cups of white water, and said warmly, "It's not good to drink tea when you're young, this dim sum is sweet, so my sister will drink white water." ”
Zhao Changqing thanked him, and Third Sister Ling couldn't wait to talk about Sister Ling, and said, "Sister Qing, you don't know what to do, now the eldest sister, the second sister, and the fourth sister are bright!" Last time, I followed my mother to greet my grandfather and grandmother, and I saw that they all had new jewelry on their heads, and silk flowers were also the freshest patterns, and my eldest cousin is now learning to use rouge. In the past, it was always a poor and sour picture of less clothing, but as soon as my family moved, wouldn't it be rich immediately? ”
Zhao Changqing didn't speak, Ling Teng had already taken a copy of "Mencius" from his case, and asked directly, "Which article did my sister read?" ”
Zhao Changqing pointed to an article casually, and Ling Teng said, "If you have nothing to do, I'll teach my sister to read it." ”
"Okay, I'm sorry for my cousin."
Next, Ling Teng talked about "Mencius" at length, Zhao Changqing could still say two sentences, Ling Sanjie couldn't understand a word, yawned straight to listen, and took the initiative to say, "I'll go and see if my mother has anything to help, you can play by yourself first." "I still didn't forget to take the snack plate when I left.
Ling Teng let out a long sigh, closed the book casually, and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, "Tell my sister to see a joke." ”
Zhao Changqing said, "The third cousin is such a straightforward character. ”
Ling Teng was still young, and no matter how deep his scheming was, he sighed in a low voice, "In order to divide the family, I have tossed all the love of the family, and three pots and two bowls can make a scene." Blood relatives are no more than a little silver taels. ”
Zhao Changqing said in his heart: The blood relatives and enemies are only a little silver taels, and the love between husband and wife is no match for the newcomers.
Ling Teng sighed for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Why doesn't my sister comfort me?" ”
Zhao Changqing said, "Does my cousin need comfort?" "A strong person cannot be a sudden change in adulthood, it must be that this person has been strong since childhood. Looking at Ling Teng, you can know that Ling Teng's future success is an inevitable result, this is a naturally strong person.
Even if Ling Teng eventually grows into a generation of sluts, he will still be a tough slut.
