On the second day, Mrs. Ling sent a mother-in-law surnamed Li to send a basket of fruits to Zhao's house, saying that it was for Zhao Changqing to eat, and said some words of apology inside and out.

Zhao Changqing didn't give Mrs. Li the next step, but simply said neatly, "Thank you Second Aunt for thinking about me, and you sent me fruit to eat!" You also go back and say hello to my second aunt on my behalf. As for the matter of the third cousin, don't mention it, I have vowed not to associate with her again! She didn't have anything to be sorry for me, and if it hadn't happened, I wouldn't have known that she was such a person! Speaking of which, I am also grateful to her for giving me the opportunity to see her true colors, so that I can have a longer memory in the future, be less fooled by her, and suffer less from her! After speaking, Zhao Changqing no longer paid attention to Mrs. Li and went directly out of the Ling family's house.

Mrs. Li looked at the Ling family in embarrassment, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Gu, the third sister really knows that she is wrong. Yesterday, our second wife punished the third sister, otherwise today we would have to let the third sister personally come to compensate Miss Qing. ”

Zhao Changqing put down the cruel words and turned to leave, the Ling family was already displeased, but Zhao Changqing was not good in front of Mrs. Li, so he smiled and said, "The children are inevitably noisy, a little thing, don't ask your second wife to take it to heart, and if you give something, it will be a big deal." Changqing is such a temper, she is young, she will turn around in two days, and her cousins will be fine in a few days. ”

Mrs. Li quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said again and again, "That's what Mrs. Gu said." The old lady in the family also thinks about Mrs. Qing and Miss Qing from time to time, and often talks about Miss Qing on weekdays, and Miss Qing is closer than several sisters in the family. ”

Ling's belly was a month old, and her energy was not very good, so she dealt with Mrs. Li a few words, and then sent her back.

After Mrs. Li left, Ling asked Mrs. Bai with a cold face, "What about Changqing?" ”

"I just saw the eldest girl go to the old lady's courtyard." Bai Pozi smiled and persuaded, "The eldest girl is young, her anger has not disappeared for a while, and she is a straight person, so she said a few angry words." After a few days, you don't need to be persuaded by your wife, the big girl will naturally be able to figure it out. ”

Ling sighed, "I really don't know who she has with this temper, she has such a big temperament, and she can't remember a little thing for a lifetime?" ”

Bai Pozi smiled, "This capable person has a bit of temperament when he touches it." Although our eldest girl is young, I always know how to talk and act better than my age. When the three-year-old sees the old, according to the old slave, the eldest girl will be a capable person in the future. "The people of the border city are strong, and the beauty of weak willows and winds is not popular. The Ling family is quite picky about Zhao Changqing, but it is the white mother-in-law, and Zhao Changqing took care of her until she was hugged to the old lady. Therefore, there is a bit of affection.

Ling waved his hand, "What can and can't be done, I just hope that she will be obedient and let me worry less." ”

The Ling family had something in mind, and they had to talk to their husband at night.

Zhao Yong smiled, "If there is a quarrel between children, where is it worth taking it out, her second aunt is also careful." ”

Ling Shi said angrily, "Isn't this because I'm afraid that Changqing will be wronged, so the second sister-in-law sent someone to send the fruit." It's Changqing, and he still doesn't let go. ”

"That's the girl hasn't lost her breath yet, and it will be fine in two days." Zhao Yong leaned on the couch and touched his wife's round belly, he didn't take it seriously, anyway, his children didn't suffer, there was nothing to pay attention to.

Ling Shi pushed him for a moment, "You know that Lu Dao blindly spoils her, in the end, she is a cousin, and she really wants to indulge in her anger?" ”

Zhao Yong finally said, "Oh, then I'll talk to Changqing about it." ”

When Zhao Yong went to the old lady's courtyard to speak, he mentioned to Zhao Changqing, "Your second aunt and uncle have come to deliver things, and the face of the elders can't be ignored. ”

Ling twisted the handkerchief and glared at her husband, "This is also called teaching children?" Said to Zhao Changqing, "Be open-minded, it's not a big deal, between relatives, you are all children, and it's indispensable to snort and bump." If you always think like this, you won't be able to make friends in the future. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "It's not that I don't give face to my second uncle, if I forgive my third cousin too easily, I'm afraid that she will think I'm a bully, and I'll have to make an inch in the future!" ”

Ling couldn't help but laugh and said, "Who dares to bully you!" You are so powerful, I guarantee that your third cousin will not dare to offend you again for the rest of her life. ”

Zhao Changqing nodded, "That's the best." As soon as her voice changed, she said wittily without waiting for Ling Shi to get angry, "Besides, I'm not just doing this for myself. Seeing that my mother is about to give birth to a little brother, if I am always bullied by others, and my younger brother is younger than me in the future, wouldn't it be easier to be bullied! Could it be that our sister and brother will be bullied in the future! Mother don't care, I just have to teach my third cousin a lesson, didn't my mother forget, she pinched my arm last time! ”

Ling thought that he was not a stupid person, and he was speechless to Zhao Changqing, Zhao Yong laughed, patted his wife's hand and said, "It's originally a matter of the children, you see how far our daughter thinks, even her brother's affairs have been thought of, and the sisters and brothers will be close to each other in the future." ”

Zhao Changqing said proudly, "This makes people have no long-term worries, and there must be near-term worries." ”

Zhao Yong praised, "The book is not in vain, I will buy you a snack from Nanxiangyuan tomorrow, okay?" ”

"Good!" Zhao Changqing responded loudly, leaned on his father's side affectionately, and asked, "Dad, why do you always come back so late now?" Are the messengers of the guard very busy? ”

Zhao Yong touched his daughter's head and smiled, "The new General Chu wants to reorganize the guards, and the new official has three fires in office, so he has to pretend to be busy if he is not busy." ”

Zhao Changqing asked keenly, "General Chu?" Is the new general's surname Chu? ”

"Ask what this is for."

Zhao Changqing said honestly, "During the birthday banquet of the ancestor of the Zhu family, I met a sister who was also surnamed Chu. Sister Chu said that her father was a Chu Qianhu who was newly transferred from the south. ”

Zhao Yong smiled, "Oh, Chu Qianhu is the position of a temporary acting general, in fact, it is the same as a general, and this code can be removed in a short period of time." ”

Ling Shi was originally dissatisfied with her husband and daughter, and when she heard this, she immediately became interested and said, "Yo, have you seen the daughter of General Chu's family?" ”

"We met."

Ling smiled, "You are slowly growing up now, it is better to go out and make a few more friends." You see, you always don't like your third cousin, I heard that she met a lot of ladies at the Zhu family's birthday banquet. ”

Zhao Changqing covered his mouth and snickered, Ling frowned, "What the hell are you doing?" ”

"I'm afraid that if I say it, my mother will not be happy."

Ling sighed, "Raising one of you is really more brain-consuming than raising three in other people's homes." Talk to your mother-in-law, don't beat around the bush. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "The third cousin told me yesterday that Sister Chu is a stupid girl!" ”

Ling Shi choked for a moment and said, "These three girls are really ......."

Zhao Yong smiled, "Children, it's okay to be straightforward." ”

Ling Shi hurriedly said, "Yes." Your cousin has such a straightforward temper. ”

Speaking of adopted daughters and aunts, Ling Sanjie and the Ling family are indeed very similar in some ways.

Especially when the Zhao family received a post from the Chu family, the Chu family sent a daughter-in-law over, and the daughter-in-law was quite polite and said with a smile, "My girl said that since the last time the old lady of the Zhu family had a banquet, she missed the eldest girl of your mansion very much. I've always wanted to invite the eldest girl to talk, but my family has just arrived in the border city, and the house is busy chattering and has not yet been cleaned up, so it's not good to rashly invite the eldest girl. Now everything is in the house, my girl and the slave maid come to ask, tomorrow the big girl will have free, my girl wants to invite the big girl of your house to talk. ”

Ling smiled and said, "Her child is at home, and she just plays every day, and there is nothing wrong. ”

The daughter-in-law smiled and said, "So, the slave will come to pick up the eldest girl of your mansion tomorrow morning, and I will send the eldest girl back in the afternoon, I don't know if the wife can allow it?" ”

The Ling clan was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth and eyes, and there was nothing that he didn't allow.

After sending the servants and maids of the Chu family away, the Ling family was busy calling Zhao Changqing to him, looking at her with a smile and not speaking. This is definitely the most cordial and pleasing time that the Ling family has seen her since Zhao Changqing was born. Zhao Changqing was a little frightened when he saw Ling, and couldn't help asking, "Mother, is there something wrong with you calling me?" ”

Ling smiled and pulled Zhao Changqing to him, handed her the post sent by the Chu family, and couldn't hide the smile on his face, "The eldest girl of General Chu's Mansion will ask you to speak tomorrow." Since you've known each other for a long time, why do you still tell your mother that you've only met once? You can make friends, and it's too late for your mother to be happy. ”

Zhao Changqing opened the post and glanced at it, the corners of his lips curled slightly, "I just said a few words in the house, maybe many people only speak the local dialect of our border city, Sister Chu doesn't understand our local dialect, I can speak the official dialect of the imperial capital, so she came to talk to me." I didn't expect her to ask me to go to her house. "She also likes Chu Yue a lot.

Ling smiled, "Yo, do you still speak official language?" ”

Zhao Changqing put on an innocent face, "When I go out, I often see merchants from the imperial capital coming to the border city, they just speak official language, and it is not difficult to learn, who knows that they will use it." ”

"yes, that's fate." Ling told Zhao Changqing softly, "Tomorrow, ask Mrs. Bai to accompany you, she knows more." In the end, it is the general's house, you must be cautious when you go, don't be rude. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Mama Bai is used to being by her mother's side, and her mother has a body, so she can't do without her in everything." Just let Liu'er follow me, and when I go to Zhu's house, Liu'er often follows me, and I never make a mistake. Mother rest assured, there will be more times when I go out in the future, and it is also called Liu'er refining and refining, and I will have more knowledge. ”

The Ling clan didn't follow it anymore, and was worried about another incident, and said, "What should you bring with you when you go to the General's Mansion for the first time?" "You can't ask your daughter to go to the door empty-handed, some are too cheap to take, too valuable, the Zhao family doesn't have it. To say that the Ling family is also a person who is used to being in charge, just because the general's mansion is too high, he lost his sense of proportion for a while.

It was Zhao Changqing who said, "Since Sister Chu invited me, if I really took the gold and silver treasures to her house, I would lose my closeness, and besides, our family would not have it." Ask the cook to steam two plates of dim sum, and I'll just bring them. ”

Ling Shi hesitated, "Could it be too simple?" ”

"Mother don't worry, her family is already a general's mansion, what do you want? Besides, if you have to be generous every time you walk around, it is not the intention of a friend. Zhao Changqing said, "I told her about the situation of our family a long time ago, and her servant woman also came to send an invitation, since even the carriage is ready to pick me up, naturally we know the conditions of our family, and we don't have to slap our faces and become fat." ”

Ling stared at Zhao Changqing for a long time, and suddenly sighed, "In the past, I always felt that you were still young, but now that I look at it, you are really sensible." He also told Zhao Changqing, "Tomorrow I will wear a new dress, that is, a skirt with wind hair on the collar and cuffs, if it is cold today, it is most appropriate to wear a sweater." "My daughter is so competitive, I can know the girl in the General's Mansion, and the Ling family has already planned to make two more beautiful clothes for Zhao Changqing to wear.

Ling is such a character, and he is never stingy with capable people.

Probably Ling never thought that her daughter would climb the big tree one day, and when her husband came back in the evening, she talked to her husband again. Zhao Yong was also slightly surprised, and then smiled, "It seems that our daughter is quite compatible with Miss Chu." ”

"Isn't it?" Ling smiled, "I'm always worried that she's too quiet and doesn't have any friends." ”

"What's there to worry about, the girl knows it. She and Little Pear Blossom are very good. ”

Ling raised his eyebrows, "How is this the same?" ”

Zhao Yong smiled, "How can this family be rich or decayed, Zhao Da is not angry, and the children in the family are not bad." It is not for nothing to stay up for a few years and wait for a few children to grow up. It's General Chu's family, after all, the high door is the first, although I am also happy that my daughter and Miss Chu fell in love, in the end, the gap between the door is too big, in case the girl suffers any grievances, I am incompetent as Lao Tzu, don't you just look at it. Alas, I'm really worried. ”

Ling Shi disagreed, "You just said that she knew it in her heart, and now she is saying such things again." Don't worry, it's rare for someone to make her suffer. I think that the third girl is such a clever person, and she has already given your daughter two times, but in the end, the third girl is still dumb and can't say what she suffers from. "The Ling family is not a fool, although he often fools Zhao Changqing with his articulate words, he can always understand it when he thinks about it afterwards.

Zhao Yong couldn't help laughing, "It stands to reason that I'm not an uncle to say this kind of thing, but the three girls are too, what do you always do to provoke Changqing?" ”

"That's why I said that you don't have to worry about this unnecessary heart, Changqing just looks at people and has an idea in his heart." The Ling family had already attributed Zhao Changqing to a capable class of people in his heart, after all, in the eyes of the Ling family, Zhao Changqing was of course very capable when he caught the ladies of the General's Mansion as friends. The Ling family was already thinking about when to tell Zhao Changqing a few words, if there was a chance, let Zhao Changqing know a few more noble ladies.

The Ling family thought about it and made up for it, but it was the old lady Zhao who privately told Zhao Changqing two useful sentences, "Act according to etiquette, not arrogant, not impatient, not humble or cowardly." Not only at the General's Mansion, but also at other people's homes. ”
