Chapter 170
Zhao Changqing could no longer imagine that Yaoyao was this identity.
In the world, there is really too much bitterness.
Ru Yaoyao, everyone was born in a beautiful family, and grew up serving gold slaves and silver maids, once the family was defeated, and he came to the border city thousands of miles away, and met and recognized Zhao Changqing in such a way and in such an identity.
"I was still young at home, and I only happened to hear my mother talk about Cousin Yu's family, and then I came to the border city to hear about Sister Zhao. I thought that when I saw Sister Zhao, I would be seeing my relatives. Yaoyao took Zhao Changqing's hand and said a lot of words, until the medicine was decocted, and she was fed the medicine, and Fang fell asleep under the effect of the medicine.
When Major General Chen came, it was already evening, and when he saw that Zhao Changqing's face was almost full of tears, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurried over and called, "Ah Yao-" How much of it was distressed and anxious, it was indescribable.
Zhao Changqing hurriedly said, "Yaoyao just took the medicine, don't argue with her, general." ”
General Chen Shao held Yaoyao's hand, gently brushed away the broken hair on her forehead, revealing a petite and delicate face, and staggered the wound between Yaoyao's neck.
Listening to Zhao Changqing talk about Yaoyao's body, Major General Chen said, "Trouble Dr. Zhao, Yaoyao is careful, she can tell you, the Japanese army has been busy these days, I am not there during the day, and Dr. Zhao has to come to relieve her often." ”
Although he knew about Yaoyao's family affairs, Zhao Changqing didn't say much, but just explained the matter of the good doctor, and got up to leave.
Out of Qingyun Lane, Zhao Changqing couldn't say what he felt in his heart, and he didn't mention Yaoyao when he went home. She is no longer a hot-blooded girl, and she has no ambition to help the world. Yaoyao has Yaoyao's life, in Zhao Changqing's view, it is Yaoyao's luck to be able to follow General Chen Shao and have a place in General Chen's heart.
Could it be that Major General Chen is a sea of bitterness?
Joke!
What's more, Yaoyao can always recognize her position, although there was a disturbance today, but she would rather die than enter the general's mansion, it is not Yaoyao's cleverness. What is it like to live in peace and security outside? What is it like to be a slave and a slave under the hands of the master's mother?
Yaoyao is not stupid, she can still keep her innocence after her family is ruined, don't think that Wanhualou's top card is good, Yaoyao already has her own survival skills, slender people are not necessarily vulnerable, not to mention, Yaoyao has never asked Zhao Changqing for any help from beginning to end.
In the end, Zhao Changqing attributed to the fact that Yaoyao intersected with her, probably just to find someone who could talk.
After Yaoyao reappeared half a month later, Yaoyao invited Zhao Changqing to eat deer tongue, "The general sent someone to eat for me, I don't eat meat, but I tasted it yesterday, and it tasted something." Early this morning, I instructed the kitchen to prepare it and invite my sister to eat. ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Deer tongue is a good thing, you should eat more." ”
Yaoyao smiled, "Use the white spirit mushroom to fry, I'll eat the mushroom inside." There is also deer tendon, which I also asked the kitchen to stew. Sister, let's have two cups in the evening. ”
Zhao Changqing asked, "Isn't the general coming today?" ”
Yaoyao sighed, "He always comes to accompany me these days, so what does the family think." I advised him last night to go home today, and don't blame grandma. changed to another housewife, whether it was life or death with me outside, the eldest grandmother thought about taking me into the house, and it was the eldest grandmother's mercy. It's a little unwary of words, and it has nothing to do with grandma. It's that I'm not blessed, and I can't live in the house. As long as he can think of me once in a while, and remember to come and see me, I will be content. ”
Listening to this set of informed and reasonable words, Zhao Changqing was speechless for a while.
Yahuan brought the tea, Yaoyao handed one to Zhao Changqing, and smiled bitterly, "Although I say so, in fact, I hate him to come to see me every day, to accompany me every day, and I am the only one in my eyes." It's just that I don't have a name, his grandmother is marrying a famous matchmaker, and because I am restless, I am even more worthy of the name of the fox spirit. Besides, he's a man who does big things, and I don't have anything to worry about here. If there is no peace in the house, it will also distract him. He treats me well, and I can't be too selfish to always think about myself. ”
Zhao Changqing sipped his tea and said, "You understand everything, so I don't have to worry." ”
Yaoyao smiled, "Sister, don't worry, I've come here alone all these years." When I told my sister about my life experience, I didn't want my sister to worry about me, but I was worried that my sister would think that I was undignified here and didn't want to associate with me, so I really didn't even have a person who could talk. ”
"No, it won't." Zhao Changqing said, "When are you bored, just ask someone to find me, I don't have any other skills, it's okay to talk to you." ”
Yaoyao showed Zhao Changqing the sachet she made for General Chen Shao, and asked Zhao Changqing what medicinal herbs to put in it.
The two talked and laughed until the evening, and Zhao Changqing said goodbye after dinner.
Before leaving, Yaoyao also gave Zhao Changqing a few red materials, which were woven with gold and yaocai, which were very gorgeous. Zhao Changqing smiled, "I don't have anywhere to wear such good materials, you can keep it yourself." ”
Yaoyao stroked this gorgeous and incomparable material, and her smile was like a mist surrounding Spring Mountain, "What the young general gave me, I was reluctant to give it away." Actually, when I'm outside, no one cares about me when I wear red, it's just that it's not suitable in the end. I left two horses for a thought, this is for my sister, sister Mo is polite to me. ”
Zhao Changqing no longer shirked, ordered Yongfu to take it, whispered a few words to Yaoyao, and left.
When Zhao Changqing arrived home, Ling was looking at the gem hairpin newly sent by Zhenbao Zhai with Zhao Rong, and Ling smiled and said, "It's just right to come back, come and take a look, it's already ready, for your sister and the ceremony, do you think it's good?" ”
Zhao Changqing took a look at Ling's hand and smiled, "It is worthy of the craftsmanship of Zhenbao Zhai, and it is worthy of its name." A good hairpin can be used for a ceremony. "Zhao Rong is the birthday of the second day of the Lunar New Year, and it is not good to hold a ceremony on the second day of the Lunar New Year, so she went to the temple to vote for a good day, and it is scheduled to be held on the sixth day of the first month of March. The Ling family specially took Zhao Rong to the jewel hairpin of Zhenbao Zhaiding, and it was also decent to use it in the ceremony.
In fact, the Ling family has a careful eye, Mrs. Zhu gave Zhao Changqing a box of gems with excellent color, these days, no matter how valuable gold and silver are, they are limited, and the gems are far more valuable than gold and silver. The Ling family wanted to use Zhao Changqing's gem to give Zhao Rong a hairpin, but she explicitly hinted in front of Zhao Changqing several times, Zhao Changqing just pretended to be stupid and didn't accept the stubble, so the Ling family had to do it. said to her husband in private that her eldest daughter was stingy, "I am not more generous than when I was a child, and I save things by myself." ”
Zhao Yong said, "It's not good to live?" Changqing has a business outside, and she hires those people to partner with others, and the expenses are also large, has she ever asked you for silver? Take more money for Ah Rong to go to the shop to pay for it, and the child will pay the gift once in his life. ”
The Ling clan didn't say anything anymore, and spent five hundred taels of silver to give Zhao Rong this jewel hairpin.
Seeing that Zhao Changqing said yes, Ling smiled, "You and Lu have the hairpin that the master rewarded you with, and that is a good treasure that is hard to find." Ah Rong doesn't have your luck, and she also gives her a good foundation. ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Yes, Ah Rong is also a big girl." She usually doesn't have any good jewelry, and it's time to dress up when she looks at the person she wants to kiss. Are the garments of the Rite ready? ”
"Not yet, in two days, the Thousand Needles Workshop will be delivered. The embroidery of this one piece of clothing is simply amazing, and it costs dozens of taels of silver, and I don't think it's necessarily better than your work. "Zhao Changqing's clothes were made by himself.
Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's a pity that I don't have time at home now, otherwise I would have to take it out and do it." ”
Zhao Rong smiled, "Even if my sister is at home, I can't trouble my sister with this needlework." I'm not smarter than my sister, otherwise I'd have done it myself. ”
"You have your benefits." Zhao Changqing coped with a few words, and then went back to the house to change his clothes.
Before Zhao Rong's ceremony arrived, something happened to Fourth Sister Ling's in-laws.
Mrs. Ling sighed, "It's also unlucky, her mother-in-law's uncle is a good official of the prefect's yamen, and the official rank is not high, but he is poor." The fourth sister's in-law's family followed the light, contracted a canteen in the prefect's yamen, and lived a prosperous life. Her mother-in-law's uncle was unlucky, and he met the pomp of the quartermaster on the road, and accidentally startled the horse, and he fell unconscious at that time. In this yamen, the tea is cold as soon as people leave. The canteen didn't ask her in-laws to contract, so she asked someone to come back. ”
Ling comforted, "This is also a helpless thing, isn't it that her mother-in-law's family still has two shops outside, so she can live a good life and live." ”
Mrs. Ling sighed, "I have to think like this." After taking a sip of tea, Mrs. Ling said again, "There is no smooth sailing in people's lives. I'm not too worried about the affairs of the fourth sister's in-laws. It's the second sister, it's really anxious. Someone told the second sister before, it is a merchant, the man is not big, Chinese New Year's Eve this year, there are three shops at home, there is only one daughter under the knee, and there is a big mansion with four entrances in Hawthorn Alley. I looked very good, and your eldest brother didn't say anything, but when I told the dead girl, I wasn't happy to live or die. I'm really angry, I won't stop. ”
Ling's heart is related, "Changqing is the same as attracting people's hatred, there were also people who came to the matchmaker a year ago, he is a showman, and he has been delayed in studying and taking the show, and he is twenty-three this year." The door also made it, I inquired that it was also an honest person, she just couldn't look down on it, and she could kill people in a hurry. ”
The two sisters-in-law complained about the bitter water for a long time, and Mrs. Ling had dinner at noon, and Mrs. Ling said goodbye in the afternoon.
When Zhao Changqing went home, he listened to Ling's chatter, "What a life, I heard your eldest aunt say that the quartermaster didn't even have a penny of silver, and the fourth sister and her mother-in-law and aunt wanted to sue the official." ”
Zhao Changqing said, "The quartermaster is a fat man in the army, and he can't sit in that position if he has no relationship." But after all, because he died, it was too mean to not give out a penny. ”
"Whoever says no, wait for retribution. The dog officer who thundered and struck in the sky! Ling cursed viciously, and sighed again, "Your second sister's matter has not yet been settled, I originally watched the fourth sister marry a good in-law, but it turned out that such a thing happened, and your eldest aunt was worried." ”
Zhao Changqing said, "The fourth sister's family doesn't just rely on the contracted canteen to make a living, there are still other businesses outside, and if they take care of those businesses, they can live a good life." ”
"That's what I told your eldest aunt, it's just that parents are born to worry about their lives." Ling sighed.
Zhao Changqing knew that the Ling family was talking about her family affairs, so she was really impatient to listen to the Ling family's nagging, and hurriedly looked for an excuse to go out. The Ling family chatted with the white woman, "This little clever idea has been used on me, and I knew that I was going to talk about her, so I ran away first." ”
Mrs. Bai smiled and persuaded, "Don't worry, Mrs., we are such talents as the eldest girl, are we still afraid that we won't be able to get married, it's just that we just want to find someone to love." After all, this marriage is a lifelong thing, and it is better to lack than to abuse. ”
Ling Shi said worriedly, "I am her mother, can I not think about her." Now these girls don't know what's going on, one by one they see that they are getting older, and they are not in a hurry, and they are still picking. ”
Zhao Changqing took Yongfu everywhere, but there was actually nowhere to go, it was evening, and the shop was closed.
Walking along the street, I heard someone call her name, and Zhao Changqing looked back and saw that it was Xia Wen. Xia Wen walked over a few steps and smiled, "Doctor Zhao hasn't gone home yet." "Things are not busy these days, Zhao Changqing has left early.
"I'll go out and walk around." Seeing Xia Wen holding an oily paper bag in his hand, Zhao Changqing glanced at the side of the street and asked with a smile, "Did you just line up to buy pig's head meat?" ”
Xia Wen smiled, "Lao Liu's pig's head meat is stewed, fragrant but not greasy, crispy but not rotten, my father loves this bite, I will buy some and go back to give him wine." There's still a fire burning here, you haven't eaten yet, so make up for it first. As he spoke, he took one to Zhao Changqing and handed another to Yongfu.
Zhao Changqing hurriedly said, "No need, no need, I'll go home in a while." ”
Xia Wen forced the fire into Zhao Changqing's hand and smiled, "I was just queuing, and I saw that you had no place to go for a long time." You come to my house for dinner, I sit in your shop, my mother wanted to ask me to invite you to dinner several times, I am shy, you are also busy, and you haven't opened your mouth for a year. ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "I really didn't see where you were shy." ”
Xia Wen warmly invited and smiled, "Let's go, let's go, it's easy for me to open my mouth, don't refute my face." Without waiting for Zhao Changqing to excuse himself, Xia Wen said again, "Either I don't think I told the family in advance to prepare a banquet, and you don't think I'm grand." ”
Zhao Changqing stuffed the fire into a paper bag for him, and said with a smile, "A big man, how can he say these choking words." ”
Xia Wen smiled, "I'm a radical general." ”
Zhao Changqing despised Xia Wen once, sent Yongfu home to say a word, and went to have dinner with Xia Wen. Xia Wenji said to Yongfu very cleverly, "Miss Fu doesn't need to bring a car to pick up Dr. Zhao, I'll send Dr. Zhao back after eating in a while." ”
Yongfu went home first.
Usually in the shop, I don't feel it, but walking on the road, Zhao Changqing realized that Xia Wen is a nagging person, talking about the shops on the street for a while, and talking about the customs of the border city for a while, "There are a lot of milk and goat milk sold here, but this thing is very good for the human body, but the taste is not very good." ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "When you cook it, you can put some almonds to get rid of some milky smell, but you can't completely remove it." You can drink it with tea, and it would be much better with some sugar. ”
"Wait until I go back and call my mother to try."
Walking to a dim sum shop, Zhao Changqing stopped and said, "Wait a minute." As he spoke, he walked to the dim sum shop, and went to Xia's house for the first time, so it was not good not to bring some things. Xia Wen dragged her out and stopped her, "Don't buy it, you buy some things, my mother feels embarrassed." ”
"If you have something to say, don't pull and pull." Zhao Changqing opened Xia Wen's book.
Xia Wen hurriedly bowed his hand, "Momentary urgency, momentary urgency, Doctor Zhao is not surprised." ”
Zhao Changqing said, "I'm so embarrassed to go empty-handed." ”
"I don't have a banquet at home, it's just that you go and catch up with what to eat. If you bring a lot of things, my mother must be in a hurry to send my brother out to buy wine and food, and you will definitely not be comfortable. Xia Wen smiled, "We have been together for so long, we are not outsiders." The next time you come to my house, you can bring some more fruits. ”
The people in the border city are straightforward, and Zhao Changqing didn't be polite to Xia Wen, and smiled, "That's fine." ”
After leaving for a while, Xia Wen inquired again, "Doctor Zhao, let me guess the reason why you are wandering on the road, do you see it?" ”
Zhao Changqing squinted, "What are you going to guess?" ”
Xia Wen smiled, "Nothing, nothing." After saying it for a while, I was afraid of upsetting Zhao Changqing, so I didn't say it again.
Zhao Changqing snorted lightly, and Xia Wen turned to ask Zhao Changqing, "Is the pickle last time delicious?" To your taste, isn't it? ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's delicious, my grandmother likes it too, saying that your pickles picked by the Shu people are good." In the morning, it is served with white porridge, which is very refreshing. How is this pickled, my family has pickled pickles a few times, but the taste is always not very good, so I mostly buy them outside. ”
Xia Wen smiled, "The key is the reason for the water, the alley we live in now is called Tianjing Hutong, and the water quality is good." However, I compared it, and although the well water is good, it is still not as good as the spring water in the mountains. I took my second brother to push the cart to Wanmei Temple to get water. When the water is retrieved, the pickle is half of it, and with my family's unique secret recipe, it naturally tastes good. ”
"It's the same as not saying."
Xia Wen smiled, "I really don't know how to pickle, it's all pickled by my mother, I'll help you ask when the time comes." ”
Zhao Changqing laughed angrily, "Then you said you didn't know." ”
Xia Wen smirked, "yes, yes." "If someone asks, I'm sure they don't know. I don't know why, Zhao Changqing asked, and his mouth was like a doorless, nagging endlessly.
Not only did Xia Wen talk a lot, but he also felt that the distance from Lion Street to his Tianjing Hutong was too close, and he didn't even walk a few steps before he arrived home.
