Chapter 37

Zhao Changqing's hospitality was undoubtedly quite successful, just watching the Chu family brothers and sisters play with Li Mingzhu until the evening, they knew that their friendship with Zhao Changqing was very good.

Ling encouraged his daughter, "In the future, we will be like this, our family is not a stingy family, you just have to invite your friends to play." The more children move around each other, the closer they can be. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I know the truth, the older I will be in the future, the more friends I will know, mother, don't be annoying." ”

Ling smiled at Zhao Changqing's small beads in his hair, and smiled, "My daughter has a future, which one of the mothers can be annoying, it's too late to be happy." The brothers and sisters of the Chu family are really similar. ”

"Yes, if you wear the same clothes and comb the same hair, it will be difficult for ordinary people to tell the difference." Zhao Changqing said, "I used to go to find Sister Chu, and Brother Chu would talk to us if he was there." ”

Ling smiled, "The character is also good." Originally, the Ling family thought that once her daughter was treated, and others didn't come, the Zhu sisters would at least have to give her daughter a face. I don't want to, the Zhu sisters didn't come either! It's the young lady of the General's Mansion who doesn't have a frame at all, this is the upbringing of a high-ranking family! A hundred times stronger than those fake scholars!

At this time, the mother and daughter turned out to have a strange heart, and Zhao Changqing thought the same, the three Zhu Ling sisters and Zhao Feiyun did not come, but the brothers and sisters of the Chu family came. What Mr. Su said is really good. Zhao Changqing smiled, "I have a very good relationship with Sister Chu and Brother Chu, and I am also very good with Sister Li." ”

Ling smiled, "They are all good children, it is rare to make such good friends, you have to get along well." As he spoke, Ling took out a small box from the makeup box, and when he opened it was a pair of small pink pearl earrings, Ling smiled, "As you grow older in the future, these small jewelry will also be worn." ”

Zhao Changqing took it and said with a smile, "It's so good-looking." "The pearl is not big, it is rare to be a small pink bead, teardrop-shaped, silver tray, not very expensive, but very lively and suitable for children to wear.

Ling Shi replaced the thin jade earplugs that Zhao Changqing was wearing now, took a mirror to show her, and said, "When I went to the shop, I saw that there were some sold on the street, and I thought at that time, my daughter must look good when she wears it." I wanted to give it to you a long time ago, but I forgot it for a while, and I wore this when I went to Zhu's house with the old lady in a few days. ”

Zhao Changqing looked at himself in the mirror, his little fat hand touched the small pearl pendant, Zhao Changqing raised his eyes to look at his mother, and smiled, "Mother, I think this pearl is more beautiful than a gold pendant." ”

Ling smiled, "You little girls, you are at a lively age, one or two gold collars and gold bracelets are enough, what does it mean to be full of gold and silver?" There was no significant outbreak. When you are older, you have to add a few good pieces of jewelry at a slim age like Miss Chu. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled in response.

Ling also instructed and taught her many words.

On the second day, Mrs. Ling brought her three daughters to visit, first greeted Mrs. Zhao, and then went to the main courtyard with the Ling family to speak, and Zhao Changqing also followed to accompany her.

Ling asked with a smile, "I haven't seen my sister-in-law for a few days, how are my father and mother at home?" ”

Mrs. Ling smiled, "It's all good." Now looking at August 15, I know that my sister's family is not short of this, so I packed up some melons and fruits and sent them to my sister. Originally, I said that I would call your eldest brother to come, but it happened that the government office recruited books, and he went to take the exam, so I brought my eldest sister and them here. ”

Zhao Changqing took his sisters to eat dim sum and fruits, and then heard Ling ask, "Big brother went to take the exam?" I've just heard about it. ”

Mrs. Ling smiled, "He said that he was not sure, and it was not good for me to talk outside, for fear that I would lose face if I failed the exam." ”

Ling smiled, "What's so shameless about this, the eldest brother has been studying since he was a child, and he has the fame of showing talent, and his stupid work is not easy." If you can do a book in the yamen, copy and write, etc., it is against the temperament of the eldest brother. ”

"Sister, this really speaks to my heart." Since the separation of the family, Mrs. Ling's mental outlook has been rapidly improving, and she has evolved from a taciturn woman to a somewhat violent housewife. Seeing that the Ling family also agreed with her husband to go to the book examination, Mrs. Ling's face was a little more smug and smiled, "Hey, it's a long story, in fact, I already asked your eldest brother to take the exam as a small official." At first, my father always held his anger and asked your eldest brother to take the exam, and I was afraid that rashly opening up would ruin your eldest brother's future. Now I want to open it, this is not lifting, or eating is the most real. Our family's aura was not born in your eldest brother, nor in your brother-in-law, it was all in Brother Teng'er. My sister didn't know anything, and Brother Teng had only been studying for a year. At first, he was studying in Mengtong's class, but now the master has transferred Teng Ge'er to a better class. This kid is really angry. Compared with the resentment of the second wife Ling and the third sister Ling and the mother and daughter of the long room, Mrs. Ling rarely said that the second room was not, she preferred to pick the thorns of the old room outside the words.

Ling smiled, "Brother Teng is indeed sensitive, and he was born to be a seedling of studying. ”

Mrs. Ling smiled, "Yes, I said that I asked your eldest brother to go to the book examination office, but my father was not happy to come." He is an old man of learning, and he is a low-level storyteller, not very decent. In addition, there is Brother Teng'er in the future imperial examination, I always feel that Brother Teng will gain fame in the future, if there is an uncle who is a small official, I am afraid that his face will not look good. I still entrusted Brother Teng, Brother Teng persuaded his father a few words, and his father agreed. ”

Ling's heart was quite speechless, so he had to laugh, "There are tenants in charge of the family's land to clean up the rent and seeds, and it is good for the eldest brother to find an errand messenger." ”

"yes." Mrs. Ling sighed, "If your eldest brother is familiar with farming, I would like to take back the fields. Our family has 300 acres of land, and the family guards the field and builds a large farm, and lives in the countryside very spacious, and hires people to farm when the farm is busy, and the harvest is more than 20% more than what we give to tenants. ”

Ling asked with a smile, "Isn't it that my sister-in-law intends to move the family to the countryside to live?" ”

Mrs. Ling smiled, "It's just a thought, don't say that your father is unwilling, even your eldest brother is afraid that he is unwilling." ”

Ling smiled, "Seeing that the eldest sister and their sisters are also older, they will reach the age of kissing in a few years." In the city, in the future, I always find a person who is the right person in the city, and if I go back to the countryside, it will not be cheap. ”

Mrs. Ling smiled, "Yes, alas, I'm used to living in the city." ”

Mrs. Ling chattered a lot, and only after lunch did she take her three daughters to leave.

The relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law is generally not too harmonious.

The Ling clan endured it for a long time, but still couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and complained, "It's only been a few days since I took charge of the house, and I see that your eldest aunt can't turn her family upside down." ”

Zhao Changqing felt something else, "The second sister is so good at eating, she ate two plates of dim sum alone." ”

Ling Shi even said, "If you have the leisure to take care of a few girls, you have the idea of just hitting the old house!" Look at your second sister who is fat, now she is young, and people still say that she is blessed, and if she can't lose weight when she gets older in the future, it will be difficult to talk about her in-laws. "Actually, Zhao Changqing is also round and chubby, but Zhao Changqing is only five years old, and it is nothing to be mellow; Second, his own children always look pleasing to the eye, not to mention that Zhao Changqing is already very pleasing to the eye.

Zhao Changqing smiled and persuaded, "Mother, don't be angry, my eldest aunt has just taken care of the house, and it is inevitable that I will think a lot, and I will prevent my grandfather from passing on all the private property to Cousin Teng." "I came up with this idea of moving to the countryside.

"But she doesn't have a son, who will the family business pass on to Brother Teng?" Ling Shi was upset when he thought about it, and sighed, "When I was at home before, I said that your eldest aunt was a childish child, and for your eldest uncle's book examination, I also asked Brother Tuo Teng to intercede with your grandfather. Is...... It's a shame that she did it. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Mother, don't worry, Cousin Teng is not a good stubble." Don't look at the eldest aunt jumping up and down now, there are ten eldest aunts who are not enough to play a fingernail for my cousin. ”

Ling laughed angrily, "Shut up for me, I'll just talk about it, you're not allowed to talk about elders like this." ”

"Am I not right?" The corners of Zhao Changqing's lips pursed, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he had a pleasing little appearance, "The eldest aunt is just a little bit of a small profit now, but she doesn't want to think about it, Cousin Teng has a good reputation, and the elders in the family, who doesn't say that he is promising." It's the eldest aunt, I don't know if she is confused or understood, while saying that Cousin Teng has a future, she is still calculating him. She acted like this, and dared to shout everywhere, and I don't know how many people laughed at her behind her back. Cousin Teng is just because of the difference in generations, so it's not easy to have a seizure. really annoyed him, and he got up and ensured that his aunt couldn't eat and walked around. "Mrs. Ling is simply an old birthday star who eats arsenic and has a long life, and dares to provoke Ling Teng.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Mother think about it, Cousin Ling has a good reputation, and with such a bright light as studying, he will only get ahead in a few years." The eldest aunt didn't try to win him over, and she was smart in front of him and used him as a gunman, could he not know what to do? ”

The children now are really amazing, and they have all become fine. Ling smiled, "You can understand, there's nothing Brother Teng doesn't understand?" ”

Zhao Changqing said again, "Mother doesn't have to worry about the eldest aunt, I think you still have to prepare the eldest aunt to borrow silver." ”

Ling Shi was puzzled, "Where did this come from?" ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Uncle wants to be a bookkeeper, but just now my aunt said that he has to take an exam to make a number, which shows that he is not the only one who wants to do a book. In these years, there is no one who does not use money. The eldest aunt doesn't have to be stupid and happy, thinking that the eldest uncle is a show talent and passed the exam, there is no such good thing! If there is no silver, no matter how good Rao is uncle does in the exam, it will be in vain! "These ways are boring, she still understands.

"My grandmother's family has just been separated, and my uncle's family doesn't have much savings, I think now my eldest cousin and they have begun to learn to dress up, and my grandfather doesn't want my uncle to go to the book exam, how can he give him this silver? The place where the eldest aunt can weigh the silver, except for her own mother's house, is our family. Zhao Changqing smiled, "I don't believe my mother will wait for two days, and my aunt will have to speak if she can't say it." ”

The Ling family actually believed what Zhao Changqing said, and sighed, "Our family just bought a few acres of land, and now we are tight." ”

Zhao Changqing said, "It's nothing to lend to the eldest uncle's family, but if the mother lends it to the eldest uncle, you have to prevent the second aunt from opening up." I look at my aunt's appearance, it really doesn't look like she can keep it secret. Mother, you lend it to your eldest uncle's house, even if the second uncle doesn't say anything, the second aunt's temperament is no longer indifferent. ”

Ling sighed, "Your eldest uncle and your second uncle are both very good people, but they are not very good in family affairs. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled secretly and did not argue. If the two uncles were really competitive, they would not marry such two wives. The Ling family favored his brother, never said that his brother was not, and habitually buckled the heads of the two sisters-in-law.

Ling felt that his daughter was really smart, and he guessed that it was only three or two days before Uncle Ling came to the door and asked to borrow fifty taels. Ling's family didn't scare her eldest brother out of a heart attack, it's not that she doesn't have fifty taels at home, it's just that under the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are many places to go to the family to give gifts, and her own family has to live. On weekdays, her husband borrowed a couple of two or five taels, and the Ling family didn't talk about it less. Now that my brother has come to borrow money, he is still such a big deal, even if it is his own brother, Ling's heart is beating in shock.

Uncle Ling is not good at words, he is definitely an honest man, it is really the first time he has spoken to his sister, and before he finished speaking, his face swelled red. Compared with his brother, Ling was particularly alert, Ling asked, "A few days ago, I heard my sister-in-law talk about my eldest brother's book exam." The eldest brother has a lot of silver, and if it is ten or eight taels, the younger sister will have it on hand. I'm not shirking my eldest brother, most of the family's money is pressed in the shop. If the eldest brother is doing it for the purpose of the activity, let me think of a way to tell the eldest brother again, and I will ask the eldest brother to take down this mission. ”

Uncle Ling's face turned red, and he stammered, "Yes, yes, yes, if you are tight on money, just forget it." ”

"Big brother tell me, how much silver will it cost to run the book office?"

Uncle Ling said, "If you don't say a hundred taels, your sister-in-law has fifty taels that she has saved over the years, and there is still a gap of fifty taels." ”

Ling nodded, "When will the eldest brother ask for this silver?" ”

Uncle Ling said, "That's it, these two days." ”

Ling said, "Cheng, eldest brother will give me two days to work, and I will raise funds to see how much silver I can collect." ”

Uncle Ling's eyes were full of gratitude, and Ling smiled, "Our dear brothers and sisters, the eldest brother has difficulties to talk to his sister, but he doesn't treat his sister as an outsider." If I have a problem, will my eldest brother leave it alone? As a family, it's not about helping each other. ”

After Uncle Ling finished speaking, he saw the two children again, and was about to leave. Ling smiled, "Big brother sit for a while, your brother-in-law will come back after seeing it, and you will get together less on weekdays." It's easy for big brother to come, you can drink two cups in a while. ”

Uncle Ling smiled, "Okay." ”

Ling sent his brother to drink with her husband and went to Zhao Changqing's room to discuss with her daughter about borrowing money.

Ling gritted his teeth and said, "When your eldest aunt didn't have a real time, she and your uncle have been married for more than ten years, can't she take out a hundred taels of silver?" There is also your aunt's mother's family, on weekdays, your aunt and her mother's family only think of us when they borrow money. ”

Zhao Changqing poured tea for Ling's family, and persuaded with a smile, "Mother is not angry, this matter is simple and simple. It's a good thing that the uncle wants to make a mistake, there are many relatives, and the brothers and sisters don't have to just borrow from our family. If you want me to say, ask my uncle to set the table and drink at home, and tomorrow my mother and father will come over, and then call my second uncle, as well as my uncle's mother and brothers, how much silver is missing, and each family will give some money, and it will be enough. In this way, the silver will be in the open, and I am not afraid that the second uncle and mother will not be happy when they know it. ”

Zhao Changqing was a little bit, and the Ling clan immediately understood, pursed his lips and smiled, "What a clever ghost." I originally thought about it, your uncle borrowed at most ten taels or twenty taels, brother and sister, your uncle has never opened a mouth with me, and I can still prepare this silver. It's just that I didn't expect your aunt to be ruthless, opening her mouth is fifty taels, and your father is only a few taels a month? The old lady in the family is getting older and older, and you have to study and improve, what is not money for Brother Ning and Sister Rong? These fifty taels really have to grit your teeth. Now that you have this method, as long as they can spread it evenly, even if our family takes a few more, I am willing. ”

Gu Dong drank a cup of tea, Ling touched Zhao Changqing's head, and praised, "Sure enough, studying is to make people smart, you used to be clever, and after reading with Mr. Su for a few days, you have grown even more." "The silver is not in vain!

The Ling family told Zhao Changqing to rest earlier, and she had to go over to discuss the idea with her eldest brother, so she hurriedly went.

In the evening, after Ling served her husband to wash, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her daughter was far smarter than ordinary people, and sighed again and again, "Our daughter is really smart!" The small brain melon seeds are not fast! It's all for the sake of studying. ”

Zhao Yong smiled, "The eldest brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law are also scholars. ”

Ling smiled, "If you don't say such sour words, Brother Teng will be very bright when he studies." If our girl is a boy, I don't think it's worse than Brother Teng. When Brother Ning is older, it is enough to have his sister so smart. ”

Zhao Yong was extremely confident and said, "The sister and brother of a sibling mother, where can they go!" ”

"If you want me to say the same." Ling smiled, "You are busy these days, you will go to the eldest brother early in the evening, I will go over tomorrow, this time I will give you the bottom, and the second brother I think it would be good to be able to pay ten taels." The sister-in-law's mother's family survived twenty taels, this time the eldest brother opened his mouth, he is an honest man, let's pay twenty taels at most, what do you say? ”

Zhao Yong held Ling's somewhat plump waist with one hand, rubbing it slowly, a little moved in his heart, and his mouth was not allowed, "Cheng, you just look at it." The eldest brother is doing serious things, we can afford it, and a few more is nothing. ”

Even though he was an old husband and wife, Ling's cheeks were still slightly hot, and one hand slowly pushed her husband's chest, but she was strangled by Zhao Yong's arm, and the two hot bodies fit together intimately...... After a while, there was a sound of rapid breathing and coquettish moans in the room. Moaning.

Zhao Rong was noisy in the cubicle for most of the night, and it was difficult to fall asleep after tossing and turning, and she couldn't bear to howl in her throat. Ling's was woken up by Zhao Rong's crying, and he wanted to push her husband away to see the child, how could Zhao Yong stop at this time, hold down Ling's fierceness, Fang Fu said lazily under the quilt, "Changqing already has his own house, why don't you talk to your mother, let Sister Rong be raised by her mother." "Anyway, according to the master's words, no matter where the little girl is, he won't be able to see him this year. If you see less, your feelings will be much colder before you know it.

Ling took a sip of her husband's mouth, her face was still spicy, her back was sore and her legs were weak, she lit the candlestick with a jacket and went to the cubicle, and asked, "But my sister is hungry?" ”

"My sister never made trouble at night before." The white woman coaxed Zhao Rong, got up and handed Zhao Rong to the Ling family, Zhao Rong just lazily ate a few mouthfuls of milk and stopped eating. Ling touched her little face and said to Mrs. Bai, "In the future, I will ask her to sleep less during the day." ”

The white lady responded, and the Ling family went back to her house, but she didn't want to be pressed into the quilt as soon as she blew out the lamp and put it on the kang. Ling angrily slapped Zhao Yong's sturdy shoulders and whispered, "You're not done yet?" ”

In the blurred night, Zhao Yong's eyes were bright, and he said, "It's just endless." ”

"Give me a little lighter."

"Yes, yes."

Zhao Rong: I'd better go to the old lady's house.
