Chapter 58
Second Mrs. Ling finally realized how powerful Zhao Changqing was.
Why do you say that Zhao Changqing is powerful, not Ling or Zhao Yong's?
After all, Second Mrs. Ling has lived for decades, and although she is an unreasonable shrew, she still has some knowledge. She has been in a relationship with Ling's sister-in-law for many years, and has also dealt with Zhao Yong, so she knows the temper of the husband and wife. Ling's ears are soft, and Zhao Yong is not too calculating. This stack of documents, neat accounting calculations. In the entire old Ling family, the Ling family knows a few words, and it was taught by his mother-in-law after he got married, and Zhao Yong has studied for a few years, which is also limited. It's not that Second Mrs. Ling looks down on these two people, it's true, Ling and Zhao Yong can't do such a thing.
As long as she thought of Zhao Changqing, Second Mrs. Ling was dizzy.
Because there are two house chiefs here, it has always been a man's business to discuss these matters, and it is inconvenient for the female dependents to be present. Zhao Yong said to Ling, "You go and see the tea." ”
Second Uncle Ling also said to Second Mrs. Ling, "Go and see if Miss Qing's body is slightly better." ”
Second Mrs. Ling gritted her teeth and waited with the Ling family. When the matter was settled, Second Mrs. Ling heard her husband say that she would compensate the Zhao family for eighty taels of silver, and suddenly screamed, "Where do you want all this money?" "But I've been in a coma for about ten days!
Zhao Liuye, the head of the sixth room of the Zhao family, looked at the old lady Ling Qi, and the second uncle Ling said in a low voice, "Everything is clear and clear, you can go to see the documents in a while." The elders are here, don't be loud. ”
Second Mrs. Ling endured her bleeding heart, bit her lower lip, and finally fell silent.
Second Uncle Ling's family didn't drag the silver anymore, and sent the silver the next day, Ling took the silver and wanted to leave Second Uncle Ling for dinner, Second Uncle Ling pushed the shop to be busy, said a few words and left.
Ling sighed in his heart and said to Zhao Changqing, "I always feel that it is not a taste in my heart." ”
"What's not a taste, my mother is just too kind-hearted, if she doesn't teach her second aunt a lesson, she will be endless in the future." Zhao Changqing didn't sympathize with Second Uncle Ling at half, smiled and persuaded Ling, and said, "Mother didn't say that I was at my grandmother's house for a few days when I was in a coma, and the money that my grandmother took to boil medicine for the doctor." Now it's time to return my grandmother. Also, the six-room uncle came forward for us, this case can't be saved, and if you move around with the head of the house more, there will be no loss for us. As for the second aunt, she will have to think about it when she spills again in the future, and she can't afford to provoke our family. ”
After getting the silver and giving his daughter such a comfort, the Ling family also wanted to open it. The main reason is that after a woman gets married and has children, her thoughts are different from when she was in her parents' family, and no matter how close her brothers and sisters are, they can't kiss their husbands and children. Ling smiled, "Tomorrow, let's go see your grandmother together." ”
Zhao Changqing said, "There is also my grandfather's Go, since the second uncle's mother's family has repaid the silver owed to me by my third cousin, and I should be reputable, I will let Uncle Laifu return the Go to my third cousin." ”
Ling smiled, "When you have time to go out and take a look, if there is a suitable piano to tell me, we can't buy too good one, it doesn't hurt to buy an ordinary one of your sisters to use together." ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "That's good." "With this money, you will naturally have more money to buy things.
Zhao Rong said, "Mother, buy me and my sister a little girl ring." We went out together, and there was only one Liu Er belt, and sometimes Liu Er didn't care about it. Moreover, if Liu Er follows us out of the city, there will be no one to serve Grandmother. ”
Now that he has the silver, Ling smiled, "It's time to buy you a little girl ring, and ask Liu Er to serve your grandmother." ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "As soon as I moved the house, my mother said to buy me a ring, and it has been delayed until now." ”
Ling smiled, "People live their lives, they can save if they can, how can they be extravagant." Looking at the two daughters who were like flowers and jade, Ling Shi felt indescribably satisfied, and said, "When you call the tooth wife, you can choose yourself." I see that other people's girls have personal rings, so I will buy one for each of you. ”
Putting aside the matter of buying a girl for the time being, the next day, Ling took his two daughters back to his parents' house to visit his father and mother, and sent them together with the New Year's gift, and at the same time prepared a gift for Mrs. Ling.
Ling smiled, "In those days, Miss Qing was recuperating here with my sister-in-law, and I had no master, and my sister-in-law worked hard." It's the New Year, and the sister-in-law of these two horses will cut two new clothes for the big girl. ”
Mrs. Ling smiled and said, "I shouldn't be the right aunt." On my birthday with your eldest brother, every year the young girl has a needle and thread to pay homage, saying that she is a niece, but she is more intimate than the eldest sister. My sister must not be so polite. "Mrs. Ling does have a good relationship with the Ling family, mainly because when her husband was on an errand, the Ling family borrowed a lot of money. Although the money has also been returned to the Ling family in recent years, Uncle Ling has always remembered his sister's goodness. Mrs. Ling naturally knows the Ling family's feelings, plus Zhao Changqing has a mediocre relationship with Third Sister Ling, but she is very happy to associate with Senior Sister Ling, Second Sister Ling, Fourth Sister Ling, and after a few years of getting along, she is naturally closer to Uncle Ling's family.
Ling smiled, "Their little sisters have long been in love, the eldest sister has a good temperament, and the second sister and the fourth sister are all rare sensible." ”
Mrs. Ling was just about to say something, but when she saw that Second Sister Ling grabbed the cake to eat again, she hurriedly drank it, "Second sister, you don't want to eat cake again." ”
Second Sister Ling is thirteen years old, similar to her sister Xiao between her eyebrows, but she has been delicious since she was a child, and now she is called a stout, and Mrs. Ling is simply sad enough. When I was a child, it was nothing if the child was fatter, but if I was still stupid when I was a girl, and I was about to say goodbye to the age when I was about to say goodbye, Mrs. Ling Da controlled the diet of Second Sister Ling without leaving her eyes.
Second Sister Ling complained with a bitter face, "Mother, I'm hungry." ”
"Drink two more cups of tea when you're hungry, and if you don't lose weight, who will marry you in the future." Look at your sister, look at your sister, which one looks like you. "Mrs. Ling can die of sorrow, the eldest daughter's Shui Xiu is quite a bit like Ling's youth, the younger daughter is still young, and she is not fat, only this second daughter, as if she was reincarnated in Bajie, knows how to eat with one mind.
Second Sister Ling pouted and took the tea sullenly to drink.
Ling looked at this niece and was also worried, and said, "It's time to gradually control it." I heard that someone said goodbye to the eldest sister, and in a few years, it will be the second sister's turn. "They are all small families, and the people in the border cities are open, so when it comes to getting married, the elders do not shy away from the girls.
Mrs. Ling smiled, "Isn't it?" The children are so annoying, and when the children grow up, they are reluctant to marry now. ”
Ling followed Mrs. Ling's words and said, "Who said it wasn't. In fact, she still can't understand Mrs. Ling's feelings, her children are all young.
Second Sister Ling watched her sisters eat cakes and swallowed her saliva with envy. Zhao Rong gave Second Sister Ling a slight look, Second Sister Ling was very bright, the two of them went out one after the other, Zhao Rong quietly handed a piece of hibiscus cake to Second Sister Ling, and said with a smile, "Second Sister eat, it's uncomfortable to be hungry." ”
Second Sister Ling took it gratefully and smiled, "Sister Rong, you are so good." ”
Zhao Rong smiled, "Then I'll go in first." ”
Second Sister Ling nodded, and only after eating the cake secretly did she turn around and go back to the house, Zhao Changqing smiled and pointed to the corner of Second Sister Ling's lips, Second Sister Ling touched it, it turned out to be cake crumbs. She stuck out the tip of her tongue, smiled embarrassedly, and whispered, "My sister doesn't know my distress, and the taste of hunger is uncomfortable." ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "You can gradually eat less first, and slowly get used to eating less, and you will naturally lose weight, and you won't feel uncomfortable." ”
Second Sister Ling said, "Now my mother only asks me to eat a bowl of rice at each meal, and she doesn't ask me to eat pastries in the middle, and I can't sleep at night when I'm hungry." ”
Sister Ling said, "Mother is also for your good." Look at your waist, there are two sisters in Dingqing. ”
Second Sister Ling said, "When I was a child, Sister Qing was also round, and somehow she suddenly lost weight. ”
No girl would want to be fat, Second Sister Ling asked Zhao Changqing, "Sister Qing, do you have any tricks?" ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Where is the trick, when you grow taller, you will naturally lose weight." Just eat less dim sum, and when making dim sum, you usually put a lot of oil and powdered sugar, which is easier to gain weight than eating meat. ”
Second Sister Ling sighed, "I don't know why Lu Dao likes to eat so much, and he doesn't ask me to eat, it's uncomfortable." ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "The second sister is white in life, and her facial features are also beautiful, if she can be thinner, she will look better in a skirt." This is not to flatter Second Sister Ling, the four sisters of the Ling family, including the most stinky and beautiful Third Sister Ling, in fact, their facial features are not as beautiful as Second Sister Ling, but Second Sister Ling has been greedy since she was a child, and she can still say that she is mellow and cute when she is young, but now that she is older and still fat, it has nothing to do with cuteness.
Second Sister Ling was very worried, "Which of you has ever tried the taste of starvation." "Who knows her troubles?
Zhao Changqing said, "Second sister first control not to eat dim sum, eat enough when eating, you can slowly lose weight, you are growing taller now, as long as you don't eat too much, it's not easy to get fat." ”
Zhao Rong said, "Seeing the second sister so uncomfortable, she is not too big, and it doesn't hurt to control her food after two years." ”
Zhao Changqing said, "The second sister will be fifteen in two years, how can I get in time?" In these days, people judge people by their appearance, to be honest, who can see people's virtues at first sight? It's not that if you look beautiful, you want to say a few more words, and if you are ugly, you will have the heart to retreat. We are all like this ourselves, and if you think about it, so are others. The second sister is slowly controlling it now, and she will look good when she is fifteen years old, and she will not delay saying goodbye. If you control your diet at the fifteenth, I'm afraid you'll have to go hungry and lose weight. Slowly become thinner, less likely to get sick. If you lose weight for a while, it's not good for your body. Even if the second sister wants to eat again, after thinking about it, she has to be more restrained. ”
Eldest Sister Ling followed, "Second sister, what Sister Qing said is reasonable, you have to eat less." ”
The little sisters were talking, and the Ling family came in and called Zhao Changqing, "Your grandfather called you, you go and talk to your grandfather." ”
Zhao Changqing got up and straightened his dress.
Mrs. Ling was dressed in a sauce-colored cotton robe, sitting in a chair holding a scroll and reading, with a wolfskin blanket on his lap.
Zhao Changqing came in, and Mrs. Ling put down the book and said with a smile, "But it's so neat." Pointing to a chair next to him, "Sit." ”
Zhao Changqing sat down, stroked the skirt on his knees, and said with a smile, "Grandfather Xie is worried, it's already good." ”
Mrs. Ling had a piano and a chess piece in his hand, and said, "Brother Teng sent me the piano and chess pieces yesterday. ”
Zhao Changqing said, "After settling the account, I returned the chess to my third cousin." ”
Mrs. Ling nodded and sighed, "Your second aunt must have learned a lesson. ”
"Love is not the way, and it is suitable for harm." Zhao Changqing said, "Our family has a small population, it is nothing more than the eldest uncle and my family, these elders in the family, no one is unreasonable anymore and the second aunt is no longer unreasonable." It is better to learn a lesson now than to offend someone who cannot afford to offend in the future. Besides, if the elders don't care about her, do they still let her bully the juniors? Cousin Teng apologized everywhere because of her temper, when was it a head. Everyone says that Cousin Teng will be a person with great prospects in the future, my grandfather will forgive me, Cousin Teng will have a future again, and there is such a mother who blindly dismantles the stage for him, and his family does not care, if it falls on the head of outsiders, don't outsiders care? ”
"Besides, it's not a lesson, I'm just going to follow it. I was bullied, so I naturally want to be fair, human nature. ”
As soon as Zhao Changqing talked about his precious grandson, Mrs. Ling felt that what Zhao Changqing said was reasonable, and sighed, "I don't want to take care of these things of you." They are all my children and grandchildren, and the palms and backs of my hands are full of meat, and I want you to complain if I don't favor anyone. ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "I'm not stupid or deaf, but I'm a family." It's okay for my grandfather to pretend to be confused. ”
Mrs. Ling smiled, straightened up and touched Zhao Changqing's head, and said, "Don't be so angry in the future, a little thing, what can I do if something goes wrong?" ”
"I know." Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's also that I'm young and too strong." ”
Mrs. Ling pointed to the piano and chess, "I'm old, and now I don't have the heart to play the piano, these things will be yours sooner or later." Your eldest cousin doesn't understand this, and the younger generations in the family have a lot of books with Brother Teng. It's not a waste to give it to you, you pick one to go. ”
Zhao Changqing was not polite and said, "Then grandfather will give me this piece of Go." ”
Mrs. Ling's eyebrows raised slightly, "The piano is more valuable." A cheap Go game can be bought for a few dozen dollars. The cheapest piano has to be more than a dozen taels, right? ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "I have been learning the piano for three years, and my talent is not outstanding, but I play the flute well." What's more, I used to see Cousin Teng playing chess at home, and if he had a piano, I couldn't say that he would dabble in it a little. He is a man who wants to be a talented man, and this piano is given to him, so that he may be able to use it. Zhao Changqing's words sounded good, in fact, there was only one reason why he wanted to play, Mr. Su cherished this Go very much, and wiped the clouds one by one when he gave it to the Ling family. Come to think of it, Mr. Su loves this game of Go very much. Talking about Ling Teng is just a pretense. Being able to take advantage of Ling Teng, Zhao Changqing didn't mind at all.
Mrs. Ling was very relieved and said with a smile, "Okay, good." Between brothers and sisters, it should be like this. Yesterday, I asked Brother Teng to pick, and he insisted on asking you to choose first. ”
Zhao Changqing was funny, and said in his heart that the old man was really stupid and stupid in reading, and complained with disgust in his mouth, "Just now my grandfather said that he was not biased, and now he told me that Cousin Teng picked it first." Fortunately, Cousin Teng knew that he would let me, otherwise I would have to be at the bottom of the line. ”
Mrs. Ling was helpless and shook her head, "How can a little girl be born so tricky." ”
"It's not that I complain about my grandfather, I have an eccentricity." Zhao Changqing knocked on the old man's heart, and Mrs. Ling laughed.
It was a great meeting.
The Ling family privately gave Mrs. Ling twenty taels of silver, but Mrs. Ling didn't want it at first, and then after her daughter's persuasion, she accepted the silver with a smile, and she didn't sympathize with Mrs. Ling anymore. Mrs. Ling also got fresh clothes, even if Fourth Sister Ling muttered to her mother after the Zhao family left, "Grandfather gave Go to Sister Qing." ”
Mrs. Ling didn't care about it in her heart, and said, "Just give it, Changqing will study early, and he will play those things." ”
Fourth Sister Ling was born a small money fan, took a look at her mother, and said, "That Go must be worth a lot of money." ”
Mrs. Ling was accustomed to her father-in-law's eccentricity, and said casually, "It's better to give Changqing than to the third sister." ”
Fourth Sister Ling said, "It's better for my mother to hire a gentleman for me, and I'm not willing to be blind." ”
"Go, go." Mrs. Ling said to Fourth Sister Ling, "I want to learn words and learn from your grandfather." Look at Changqing, every time you come, you coax your grandfather to be happy, you guard your grandfather every day, and you can learn to be smarter. Don't keep your eyes on things, you please your grandfather, and your grandfather will give it to you. "Summoned Sister Ling, "The new material sent by your aunt is still silk, you see how bright this color is, and you will cut two new clothes for the New Year." ”
Sister Ling is very polite, and said, "Mother, let's cut the second sister and the fourth sister too." ”
"Just cut the second sister, don't the fourth sister still have changed clothes." In these years, most of my sister wore my sister's old clothes. As for Second Sister Ling, because of her size, she couldn't wear Sister Ling's clothes, and she had to make new dresses every time.
Fourth Sister Ling said unhappily, "I don't always want to wear old clothes, I want new clothes too!" ”
"What's the trouble, your sister's clothes are not old, and if they are changed, they will be new."
Fourth Sister Ling pouted and said, "Sister Rong never wears Sister Qing's old clothes!" It's enough for me to wear my eldest sister's old clothes! Don't you have new clothes for the New Year! I'm going to wear new clothes! ”
"Okay, okay, I'll cut you too." Mrs. Ling said, "You should also learn from your sisters' sensibility." Look at your sister's needlework, how neat it is. ”
Sister Ling took a box of silk flowers with piles of yarn to show her mother, and Mrs. Ling asked, "Your aunt gave it?" ”
"Sister Qing gave it to me, saying that she pierced it herself." Sister Ling sighed with a smile, "My mother said that I am good at needlework, and Sister Qing was born with a pair of skillful hands, and the flowers she tied are better than those sold outside." There are six branches in total, and we have two branches per person. ”
Mrs. Ling smiled, "Changqing, this kid has a conscience. ”
"Today, she also persuaded her second sister a lot, telling her second sister to control her eating." Sister Ling is soft by nature and likes Zhao Changqing very much.
Second Sister Ling said, "Sister Rong is also very good." "Secretly give her cakes to eat.
Fourth Sister Ling sneered, "It's good to secretly give you cakes to eat!" Our mother doesn't call for food, this is good for you! Sister Qing advises you to eat less, which is also good for you! Zhao Rong is a white favor to please you, where is it for your good! Don't fall for her! ”
Sister Ling smiled, "Look at what the fourth sister said, Sister Rong is only a few years old, she saw that the second sister was hungry and uncomfortable, so she secretly gave the second sister cakes to eat." ”
Fourth Sister Ling rolled her eyes, "You see everyone is a good person." ”
Senior Sister Ling pursed her lips and smiled, "Fourth Sister looks at everyone as bad." ”
Ling said to Zhao Changqing in the car, "Your grandfather told you to choose, you should choose the piano, why are you stupid?" "The piano is worth a lot, and there is a shortage of pianos at home. Though there was money to buy, wouldn't it be better if they could get it for free?
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Of the two things, my grandfather only told me to choose one." I just want the piano, but I can't choose the piano. The piano is much more valuable than chess, my mother thinks about the story of Kong Rong making pears, originally there were two things, my grandfather didn't want to give them all to me, only to pick one for me, I knew that the other one must be given to Cousin Teng. My grandfather said that he would treat everyone equally, but he must be biased towards his grandson in his heart. If I had taken the piano, my grandfather would have felt awkward. At the age of the old man, it is necessary to follow the thoughts of his grandfather. What's more, my grandfather was very good to me, although he valued Cousin Teng more, which is also human nature. I took the chess, and we already took advantage. I don't have much talent for the piano, and if my sister learns the piano, it won't cost much money to buy a small piano. ”
Thinking about his father's temper, Ling also smiled and patted the eldest daughter's hand, "I really don't know how the stomach and intestines grow, so dexterous." ”
Zhao Rong innocently asked, "Sister, can you give me this chess?" ”
It's really an old trick from the previous life...... Zhao Changqing said, "If you want to learn chess, I still have a cheap one in the house, just use it for you." This chess piece is a good cloud, so I have to keep it for myself. ”
Zhao Rong was coquettish, "Sister, just give me this one to use." Didn't my sister still say that Kong Rong made pears? ”
Zhao Changqing couldn't remember how many things she had to give up with such a delicate appearance in her previous life, and since she didn't want to be reborn, Zhao Rong was still the same. The corners of Zhao Changqing's lips curled, "Kong Rong is the younger brother and let the elder brother, you are the younger sister, you don't need to let the elder sister." My sister will give you a picture for free, and you know that you are happy, Ah Rong. ”
Zhao Rong held her mother's sleeve and still didn't give up, "Mother, do I want my grandfather's chess." I'll use it first, and then I'll return it to my sister later. ”
Without waiting for the Ling clan to speak, Zhao Changqing said, "You can dream!" This is a treasure given to me by my grandfather, and it is worth more than a hundred taels of silver. Don't say borrow, I don't ask anyone to touch it. In the future, you will learn more brightly, please your grandfather, and he will give you things. If you don't have a good spirit, who can you blame? ”
The thing didn't get her hand, and she was said that her head was not bright, Zhao Rong's eyes couldn't breathe fire, and she turned to cry, Ling patted her back and said to Zhao Changqing, "Okay, you don't have to say a few words." ”
Zhao Changqing learned from Zhao Rong's disgusting appearance, took Ling's other sleeve, and then followed Zhao Rong's appearance and sharpened his voice to be coquettish, "I don't want it, I don't want it." After that, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed.
The Ling family also made Zhao Changqing laugh, and the mother and daughter laughed together.
Only Zhao Rong's face was red with shame, and her eyes were full of fire: This bastard!
