came to Zhu's house, and I got half a cart back.

Mrs. Zhao smiled, "It's been a long time since I've seen your great-grandmother like this." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "The ancestor is a person who puts his mind to big things. ”

Mrs. Zhao looked at her granddaughter, and Zhao Changqing smiled, "I heard that in the past, the Zhu family was not conspicuous, but the ancestor personally rectified it, and it took decades to have today's reputation." Over the years, whether it is the children of the Zhu family or the primary school students attached to the school, many people have gained fame. This is the foundation of the Zhu family. Zhao Changqing's horizons are getting wider and wider, and he knows more and more about Mrs. Zhu. Mrs. Zhu has always put most of her thoughts on the family's foundation affairs, but she just called her great-granddaughters lively and lively, and she didn't care too much about the little girl.

Mrs. Zhao smiled, "That's why I said, your great-grandmother hasn't liked anyone like this for a long time." "Mrs. Zhao understands her mother's temperament very well. In this world, there is no such thing as liking for no reason. For others to like you, you have to have a reason to like you. Mrs. Zhao has always admired her mother-in-law, and now that she sees that her mother likes her granddaughter, Mrs. Zhao is naturally very happy.

The Ling family was also very happy, and when they went home, they ordered Mrs. Bai and Yongfu to move the things given by Mrs. Zhu to Zhao Changqing's house, and when everything was settled, Ling smiled and said to her mother-in-law, "The ancestor really likes Changqing." "When it comes to gold jewelry, it's not like you can't afford to wear it at home. At first, Ling's worries were gemstone jewelry, gemstones are worth a lot, and a gemstone the size of a soybean grain on the idle jewelry will cost a lot of silver, and Ling is somewhat reluctant. Now that Mrs. Zhu has rewarded these, she has saved a lot of money.

Liu Er brought the tea, and Ling personally took it and gave it to her mother-in-law. Mrs. Zhao smiled, "Mother likes sensible children the most, and Changqing voted for her mother's fate." ”

Ling smiled, "Yes." "In the past, when Zhao Changqing was a child, Mrs. Zhu gave her a very good red gold collar bracelet. Later, I will also give some bits and pieces, but I don't have the big money this time.

Ling thought that the girl was angry, and naturally the ancestors valued her. Sure enough, it is right to invite a husband to teach since she was a child, otherwise, how can her daughter have such a talent.

flattered her mother-in-law for a long time, and in the evening, Ling urged Zhao Changqing to re-select good materials to make clothes, and saw the ruby jewelry given by Mrs. Zhu with her, Rao is Ling also squinted his eyes, needless to say, the craftsmanship is exquisite, and the gems on it are also high-quality gemstones, Ling sighed, "My good boy, this is really a good thing." Then he opened another mahogany box given by Mrs. Zhu, under the candlelight, the pearl gems reflected a brilliant light, Zhao Changqing exclaimed, "This is really too valuable!" "The red box is not big, but it is the size of an adult man's palm. There are three sections in it, and one section is a round pearl, the pearl is as big as a thumb, as small as a grain of rice, and the color is also different, there are some pink beads, and more are milky white beads. Then, one is a ruby, and the other is an emerald mixed with a yellow jade. The shape of the gemstone is irregular, and it can be seen that it is only polished, not used.

This box of jewels must be worth thousands of silver.

Ling's heartbeat was terrible, his heart rhythm was irregular, and his mouth was dry, "My God, the old ancestor can't be the wrong one, right?" "If the Zhao family's family foundation is converted into silver, it may not be worth this box of jewelry.

Zhao Changqing's vision was not wide, and he was a little confused for a while, and said, "Or, let's ask grandmother?" ”

Ling said, "That's right. ”

The mother and daughter passed over with the jewelry box in fear, and after Mrs. Zhao saw it, she was silent for a moment and said, "Changqing go to sleep first." ”

Zhao Changqing actually wanted to hear what Mrs. Zhao had to say, but Mrs. Zhao sent her away so clearly, and she had to go to sleep first. Old Lady Zhao stroked the mahogany box containing the jewels and said to the Ling family, "For no reason, my mother would not give Changqing such a valuable thing. ”

Ling asked, "Mother, is it the grandmother who took it wrong?" ”

Old Madam Zhao shook her head, "Who would take such a valuable jewel wrong?" Your grandmother wasn't a fool. ”

Ling said, "If you are worried that Miss Chu and Changqing do not have good jewelry, that set of ruby heads is enough." She was a little child, and she needed so many good things. ”

Mrs. Zhao glanced at her daughter-in-law, the Ling family was a little smart, but she was not a bold person, which was also the reason why she fell in love with the Ling family for her son in the first place. Mrs. Zhao said, "Miss Chu's courtesy, your grandmother will go, and Mrs. Wang is the guest, so the ladies and wives of the people with heads and faces in the border city will go." Changqing is a praiser, and there are naturally many people who see her. She will be ten years old in the New Year, and she will be a big girl in two years. In these years, if you marry low and marry high, what chance is there? ”

Ling's heartbeat was even stronger, "Chance? ”

Old Mrs. Zhao smiled, "Mr. Su has taught Changqing in the past few years, don't you think that Changqing is not inferior to the daughters of those official eunuchs at all?" Don't say anything about other people's families, the Zhu family is long, do you think Changqing is inferior to Sister Ling? ”

Ling said very honestly, "I'm not afraid of my mother's jokes, I think my own children are naturally the best." It's just that sometimes I praise other people's children, mostly duplicity and face-saving feelings. ”

Mrs. Zhao couldn't help laughing, "This is also human nature." ”

After a pause, Mrs. Zhao said, "Your grandmother is a wake-up call for us, our Changqing, appearance, character, and demeanor are already very good." Changqing's father, his current official position has also gone up. This is to let us teach Changqing well, and there will be no further opportunity for Changqing's family affairs in the future. "No matter how difficult the world is, people who have gone through the world will not be hypocritical, if there is a better family affair, Mrs. Zhao will not refuse.

Ling didn't quite understand for a moment, "Go further?" ”

Mrs. Zhao said, "Changqing is still young, there are still six years before Ji Lu, and the future is uncertain now." However, your grandmother liked her for a certain amount, otherwise she would not have given her so many jewels. These things were given to Changqing, and she asked her to look at them herself. Don't worry she's young, since your grandmother gave it to her, she can afford it. ”

Ling Shi was confused when he heard this, but still nodded in response.

At night, Ling couldn't help but talk to her husband.

Zhao Yong thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it that my grandmother fell in love with our girl and planned to be a daughter-in-law for the Zhu family?" ”

Ling Shi hurriedly asked, "Then who do you want to tell it to?" ”

Zhao Yong smiled, "There are more children in the Zhu family, our Changqing is still young, and we can't talk about family affairs, so don't worry." Since he gave so many good things, he asked Changqing to take them. My grandmother's behavior has always been incomprehensible, just like our silk shop, she gave it when she said it, and the shop plus the inventory in it was worth thousands of silver. Maybe her grandmother liked Changqing, so she gave it to her. ”

Ling's heart was like a cat, and he couldn't sit still, and said, "I have to ask someone to go to the street to lock it well, that box of treasures, how can I make a mistake?" ”

Zhao Yong smiled, "Okay, and rest assured." Let's take a look, my grandmother is just a reward. ”

How could the Ling family feel at ease and asked, "You say, if my grandmother really likes our girl, who will she tell it to?" Brother Qing'er? ”

"No, it won't. Brother Qing is the eldest son of Yuan's sister-in-law, and as far as Yuan's sister-in-law's temperament is concerned, she must hope that Brother Qing will marry a helpful Yue family. Because the girl is still young, Zhao Yong is very relieved, and said, "Look at it slowly, the girl is so promising, and she is still worried about her mother-in-law's family?" My grandmother's family, the family is big, the wealth is rich, and the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family is the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, and the wives and concubines of the elders of these clansmen are a lot of troubles. I would rather choose a simple family for my daughter, preferably close to it, and it is convenient to come and go. ”

A good girl doesn't worry about getting married, not to mention, Zhao Yong is the eldest daughter who is most proud of her life, so she naturally has to slowly choose someone for her daughter. There are many complicated people in big families, and small families are worried that they will be wronged by their daughters, if there is a family with a clear family style and a solid life, it is the best choice. Zhao Yong thought silently.

The husband and wife chatted for a while, and then they also rested.

Zhao Changqing got the right to keep the jewelry, although the Ling family was a little worried, he still told Zhao Changqing according to the meaning of his mother-in-law and husband, "I have discussed it with your grandmother and father, this is given to you by the ancestors, you just have to keep it and use it." When you want to make jewelry, just tell me, and I'll ask someone to call you. ”

Zhao Changqing took it, and Ling said repeatedly, "You have to watch for it." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Mother, don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”

Zhao Changqing knew it because she had consulted Mr. Su.

Zhao Changqing was more convinced of Mr. Su than Ling's, and she privately told Mr. Su about the valuable jewelry that Mrs. Zhu gave her. Mr. Su pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that this old lady has finally treated you differently." ”

"Is it because of being a praiser for Sister Chu?"

Mr. Su neither nodded nor shook his head, just glanced at Zhao Changqing up and down, and said softly, "Changqing, only impulsive young people can make judgments about a person because of a certain matter. It is important to know that people are complex, and it is rash to judge a person by only one thing. A character like Mrs. Zhu, she will never judge you because of a certain thing, but from the accumulation of knowledge of you for several years. ”

Zhao Changqing thought about it carefully, and didn't think of anything special about himself, and said frankly, "Sir, to be honest, although I have followed my grandmother to greet my ancestors since I was a child, I haven't done anything particularly outstanding. ”

Mr. Su smiled, "You are a girl, and you can't suddenly open the world, so naturally there is nothing particularly outstanding." Even, maybe in the beginning, you're the same as all little dolls, ordinary. But, after all, you are gradually growing up. After studying, reading and writing, learning needlework, and understanding the truth, there is no wasted homework in the world. You serve your grandmother to filial piety, let's start with the small things, since you are familiar with needlework, I see that the old lady will always wear the needlework you made. You learn some medical skills from me, so I will diagnose the old lady's pulse and dispense medicine, and massage the old lady every day. Even if he is friendly with the girls in the General's Mansion and talks in his manners, he is never arrogant and frivolous. These are all small things. But who in this world can persist in doing these little things for many years? Those who can persevere are the ones who stand out. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "However, even if the old ancestor knew the Dao, he wouldn't know the Dao so clearly, right?" She doesn't live with us, and my grandmother and I only go once a month. Could it be that someone specifically said good things about me by the side of my ancestors? ”

Mr. Su smiled, "Why are you stupid?" Mrs. Zhu is not a fool, she will not only listen to people, but also see with her own eyes. Go once a month, but if you see the old lady wearing the needlework you did every time, if you behave elegantly and talk moderately. She will have her own judgment. You were invited by Miss Chu to be a praiser, which is just one of the reasons why Old Madam Zhu made a judgment. ”

Mr. Su took a sip of tea and said, "Don't think that the praiser is easy to do, and don't think that Miss Chu's invitation to you to be a praiser is just because of the reason why you are good friends." Think about it, Miss Chu is not a stupid person, if you can't get on the stage, no matter how good your friendship is, will she ask you to be a praiser? Even if she was willing, Mrs. Chu couldn't agree! ”

"She will ask you to be a praiser, friendship is one reason, and the other reason is that your etiquette is passable." Mr. Su was quite relieved that "my family has a girl who has just grown up", and she said softly, "You have worked hard since you were a child, and the things you have taught you will be meticulously completed without being urged." Changqing, years of hard work are not without reward. ”

A child must read and write, be a female celebrity cook, be a good etiquette, know a little about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, respect his elders, and socialize with friends.

The most important thing is that this is not the end of Zhao Changqing, but another beginning of Zhao Changqing.

Zhao Changqing's most beautiful season is coming.
