After Zhao Changqing returned home, he happily said to the Ling family and Mrs. Zhao, "The old lady and Mrs. Zheng are all kinder people. Brother Zheng and Sister Zheng are also knowledgeable people, we talked for a long time, and I also learned a new dish. Then Zhao Changqing babbled about the practice of cutting chicken.

Ling smiled, "When will I ask Sister-in-law Liu to try to make it, this is the way of eating in the south, let's try it too." ”

Zhao Changqing nodded and smiled, "Mother has never seen the elder brother of the Zheng family, but this time I have opened my eyes, and I am really handsome." ”

Ling smiled and asked, "Is it better than your cousin?" "The Zhao family is not too particular about people, not to mention that the customs of the border city are already open, so the Ling family didn't care about Zhao Changqing's appearance when he talked about Zheng Miaojia, but asked a funny question.

Zhao Changqing smiled when he heard this, "Although Cousin Teng is also born well, he is a big step behind the Zheng family's elder brother." In my opinion, only Ah Bai can seem to have that kind of description when he grows up, which is better than Cousin Teng and Brother Chu. ”

Ling Shi smiled, "You don't always pay attention to these useless things. ”

"I'll just go home and talk about it, do you want to go outside?" Zhao Changqing asked with a smile, "Ah Rong hasn't come back yet?" ”

Ling smiled, "Maybe your second uncle's house is lively, and you forget the hour when you play." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled and drank saliva, "Ah Rong is very close to her third cousin and cousin Teng. ”

Ling smiled, "Your third cousin is not very stable, but your cousin has always been very good to you." "The Ling family is speechless for the mother and daughter of Ling Er's wife and Ling Sanjie, but for his brother and nephew, Ling has always been good.

"I know, am I wrong with him? Cousin Teng is a person who understands, and this alone is very good. "When a person's horizons are broadened, so is his heart. Even if there were so many grievances in his previous life, now that he thinks about it, it is not just Ling Teng's reason. She and Ling Teng are actually incompatible. If the wife of the chaff does not go to court, how many wives of the chaff can not go to court? What's more, Ling Teng has never liked her. For a person like Ling Teng, when he has a better choice, you can't expect him to remember the old friendship. Such a person can go far and climb high, but it is not suitable for her.

Zhao Rong only went home in the evening, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

The next day, a tooth woman brought a row of girls to pick for Ling's family, and Ling's called the two sisters over and said, "You learn to pick and choose?" ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Sister pick first, right?" ”

Zhao Rongxiang conceded, "It's better for my sister to go first." ”

Mrs. Liu praised with a smile, "The two girls are really polite, and the wife is so blessed, there are two girls who are both talented and sensible." ”

Ling Shi smiled, "Where is it as good as you say." Now that their sisters are getting older, asking them to pick a close-fitting ring, it is better for them to cast their eyes. ”

"yes, yes." Mrs. Liu flattered the Ling family a few words by the way, and said, "Mrs. Do you want to choose a companion for the master." "Why else would you tell her to bring some boys?

"That's what I think, it's just a matter of whether it's suitable or not." Ling smiled, "Changqing is my sister, Changqing will pick first." ”

Zhao Changqing saw that although these little girls were just coarse linen clothes, they were all cleaned up. Since the Ling family also said so, Zhao Changqing was no longer polite, asked the little girls in this row with a smile, and asked, "How many of you, who will cook?" ”

A few little girls stepped forward.

Zhao Changqing asked again, "Who else can do needlework in the cooking?" ”

In the end, five little girls stood up, and Mrs. Liu carefully told Zhao Changqing about the origin of a few little girls. In fact, it is not necessarily that all poor families sell their sons and daughters, Mrs. Liu pointed to one of them and said, "Taohua'er was originally a maid of a large family, and she did very well in needlework, and she knew a few words." He pointed to another way, "Huaihua'er was sold at home in a famine year, and she can cook rice and needlework, and her hands and feet are numb, but she is not very meticulous." ”

Zhao Changqing saw that the peach blossom girl was indeed a little beautiful, and the acacia flower was more ordinary. Zhao Changqing said, "Stretch out your hand, I'll take a look." ”

Taohua'er's hands are white and cute, and Huaihua'er's hands are much rougher, Zhao Changqing nodded slightly, and said to Ling, "Mother, I think Huaihua'er is good." Seeing a hint of hesitation flashing in Huaihua'er's eyes, Zhao Changqing asked with a smile, "What, don't you want to?" ”

Huaihua'er glanced at Zhao Changqing cautiously, lowered her head again, and said, "Can the girl buy it with my brother?" ”

Zhao Changqing squinted his eyes and looked into the row of boys, and he already knew in his heart, and asked, "Which is your younger brother?" ”

Don't look at Huaihua'er's ordinary, really a little clever, she hurriedly pulled out a little boy from the row of boys, knelt down together, and said, "The slave maid and the younger brother have given the lady and the girl a bean cake." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled and said to the Ling family, "I don't think her brother is big, but she can be a companion with A Ning." ”

Ling nodded, and felt a little more willing in his heart, and said, "Sister Rong'er will also pick one." ”

Zhao Rong already had a calculation in her heart, and said directly, "Mother, I want peach blossoms." ”

Ling saw that the peach blossoms were born well, so they responded.

In this way, I bought a total of three, because they were all young, but it was not expensive, and it cost a total of twenty-five taels. Mrs. Liu flattered the Ling family a few more words, and then happily carried the silver and left with a group of girls and boys.

"Peach Blossom's name is not very elegant." Zhao Rong said casually, "The peach is dying, scorching its bloom; The son is home, and it is appropriate for him to live in his room. It's better to call it Yihua. ”

Peach Blossom, no, Yihua was really clever, and hurriedly greeted Zhao Rong with a slight blessing, "Slave and maid thank the girl for her name." ”

Zhao Changqing didn't think that the flowers were not good, mainly because most of the girls took the name of flowers and grasses, but she was familiar with Xiao Lihua, and it was a little inappropriate for the girl to call the flowers again. Zhao Changqing nodded, "Huaihua'er is called Yongfu, and your brother shouldn't be called bean cake, let's call it Yongshou." ”

The Yongfu Yongshou sisters and brothers also saluted, and the Ling family instructed the white mother-in-law, "Take them down to teach some rules, take a bath and change into clean clothes, and then clean up a set of bedding by themselves." ”

After a few people went, Ling said to the two sisters, "If you have your own girl in the future, you will also come up with the style of being the master." If they are disobedient, they just come and tell me. "She is not worried about her eldest daughter, after all, Yongfu is only ten years old, only one year older than Zhao Changqing. It's Yihua, life is good, and she looks clever, her youngest daughter is only five years old, and the Ling family is worried about the slave bullying the master. After thinking about it again, I felt that I was worried too much, and my children guarded it every day, where could I allow a maid to bully my daughter. Ling smiled and let go.

When he told Zhao Changning that he had another companion at night, Zhao Changning was also very happy, and pulled Yongshou to ask east and west.

Yongshou is only one year older than Zhao Changning, he is shorter than Zhao Changning, and he is also thin, although he is a little timid, he has to answer questions. After dinner, Zhao Changqing took the three of them to meet Mr. Su.

Yongfu doesn't talk much, but doing work is very neat, there is no need for Zhao Changqing to say, she has taken the initiative to find Liu Er to inquire about Zhao Changqing's habits, when to get up, when to go to bed, when to be a female celebrity, when to study, and under the leadership of Liu Er, she is familiar with the things in the house. In the evening, she prepared hot water to serve and wash, and got up early in the morning, combed her hair to bring water to serve, but there was one thing, Yongfu was not good at combing her hair, she herself was a big braid to comb the back of her head. Zhao Changqing's habitual comb of double flat buns and the like, she is not very good.

Fortunately, Zhao Changqing didn't have to be served by others, she could comb it in front of the mirror herself, and picked a branch of silk flowers to wear, and by the way, she chose two old silk flowers for Yongfu, and said with a smile, "You can take this and wear it." ”

Yongfu hurriedly said, "Thank you, girl." ”

Zhao Changqing looked at Yongfu with a smile, "This dress is from last year, seeing that you are wearing a little big, you also know the needlework basket in the house, you can needle and thread, and it doesn't hurt to change it when you steal the air." "Of course it's not silk clothes, she also makes silk clothes every year, but most of them are worn when she goes out to meet guests, and more of them are Songjiang cloth clothes. Zhao Changqing took out a small box from the bookshelf and gave it to Yongfu, "Use it to put silk flowers." ”

Yongfu took it with a smile and thanked him repeatedly.

Zhao Changqing sat in an old elm's Taishi chair near the table, and said, "I have asked Liu'er about what I want to do every day. Usually when I'm at home, I don't have to be served much in the morning and evening, so you just clean up the house. Take advantage of these two days to get acquainted with the people at home. He added, "I saw Mr. Su yesterday, at home, you should treat Mr. Su like me, and treat Bai like Changning." ”

Yongfu hurriedly said, "The slave has written it down. ”

"There is another thing, except for grandmother, mother, and father in this house, don't talk about anyone who asks you, and keep your mouth shut."

"Yes."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "That's basically it." He got up and went to Mrs. Zhao's house for breakfast, and said to Yongfu, "If there is anything you don't understand, just ask Liu'er." ”

"Yes, the slave maid wrote it down, and Sister Liu'er taught the slave and maid a lot yesterday."

Zhao Changqing went to Ling's place to ask for peace after breakfast, and saw that Yihua was serving on the side in her old clothes from last year, and a silver hairpin was inserted into her neatly combed double bun, thinking that Zhao Rong gave it to her.

Ling smiled and asked, "Where's your Yahuan?" ”

"Yongfu is cleaning up the house." Zhao Changqing smiled, "I let her be familiar with the things in my house." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "In the past few years, the roses outside my house have grown bigger and bigger, and the ones planted on the wall in the west are okay, and those planted along the corridor are higher than the windows." I thought about tying them along the pillars under the porch and telling them to be more regular. Otherwise, it will grow into a tree. ”

"That's good."

After a few words of gossip, Zhao Changqing took Zhao Changning Yongshou to Mr. Su for class.

Influenced by Mr. Su, Zhao Changqing likes to tidy up the house and tidy up the yard. Now Zhao Changning and Zhao Rong each have their own houses, and the idle furniture that was originally locked in the westernmost room has been taken out and used, especially Zhao Rong moved from Mrs. Zhao's cubicle to Ling's west ear room this year, and moved a lot of things, Zhao Changqing simply took the opportunity to clean up the westernmost room and make a study.

Zhao Changqing first just raised flowers in the house, and then simply planted roses under the verandah of the house, this kind of flower is best to feed, as long as the water is poured back every few days, and the flowers are gorgeous and fragrant, the flowering period is from April to September, there is half a year, it is a very practical flower. Zhao Changqing planted a row in front of his house and in front of the old lady's house, and in a few years, he raised a lot of branches. It's just that the roses grow too fast, and now they are about to grow into trees, and they are pruned several times a year, so Zhao Changqing had this idea.

By the end of the afternoon class, Zhao Changqing took Liu Er and Changfu to tie the branches of the rose along the corridor. Changfu smiled, "When the weather is warmer, the roses will bloom along the porch, and they will definitely be beautiful." ”

Liu Erzui said quickly, "When it comes to April and May, the peach tree in front of the girl's window blooms, and it is beautiful with these roses." The girl's birthday is also in April, and people who come every year praise our girl's yard for being well tied. "Liu Er is actually quite regretful, originally she went out with the two girls, but now the girls have their own personal rings, and she just concentrates on serving the old lady. Although the workload is lightened, I feel a little lost.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "That's just others complimenting me, don't take it seriously." ”

Liu Er smiled, "The slave maid also knows that people deliberately say that the girl is good, but the slave maid and the girl have also been to other people's homes." Although the girl's house is not necessarily as gorgeous as others, the slave maid thinks that the girl's house is also very good. Liu Er couldn't describe it, and thought for a long time and said, "It's the kind of good that can't be said." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, and Liu Er said, "Yongfu went to fetch water to serve the girl to wash her hands, and I should clean up these branches and leaves that fell on the ground and have dinner." ”

Yongfu was busy.

The Zhao family has a simple population, so there has not been a problem between the subordinates, Zhao Changqing often has to go out, and Liu Er also explained to Yongfu the things to pay attention to when going out. Last time, Zheng Miaoying posted a post to invite her, Zhao Rong went to Ling's house, but didn't go to Zheng's house. This time the Chu family's post, Zhao Rong wanted to go, but the post indicated that only Zhao Changqing was invited, and the loss in Zhao Rong's heart was mentioned.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Maybe it's going out to ride a horse, and Sister Chu specially asked me to wear men's clothes." ”

Ling laughed, "Don't be too crazy." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Mother, don't worry, Sister Chu is a measured person." I just follow her and don't worry. ”

Zhao Changning wanted to go very much, and asked, "Sister, can you take me to ride a horse?" ”

Ling Shi immediately said, "How old are you and you want to ride a horse?" Be careful of falling and falling. ”

Zhao Changning was not convinced, "Mother, I'm five years old, why can't I ride." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "When you are older, you must be at least eight years old before I can take you on horseback." You have to master the fists and feet that your father taught you. ”

Zhao Changning said, "I'm not good at practicing." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Then can you beat Daddy?" ”

"Daddy's strength. How can this be beaten. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "If you think about it, you have to work a lot of strength when riding a horse." When you have more strength, I'll teach you how to ride a horse, okay? ”

Zhao Changning responded.

Ling Shi felt strange and asked Zhao Changqing, "Where did you learn to ride a horse?" "The Zhao family doesn't have horses, regardless of the price of horses these years, the cost of raising horses alone is not a lot of money, and other idlers will definitely not be able to raise horses. Like the Zhao family, I really want to raise it and can afford it, but it's not cost-effective to raise horses, and it's not as good as going out to rent a car.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Sister Chu taught me, she has a foal at home, and she has ridden it for me before, but it is actually very easy to learn, and I will become familiar with it after riding it a few times." ”

Ling smiled, "Even if you're out to play, don't come back too late." ”

"Mother, don't worry, I know it in my heart."

Yongfu thought about Liu Er's explanation, it was easiest to go to the General's Mansion, and she generally didn't need to serve when she went out, she just had to stay in the General's Mansion honestly.

Zhao Changqing also found a men's dress for Yongfu to wear, he was wearing a lotus-colored men's spring shirt, with an inch-wide black belt around his waist, a jade purse hanging, and a simple ponytail tied up with colored ribbons on his head. Old Lady Zhao and the Ling family both laughed, "Which young man is this?" "Zhao Changqing's life is beautiful, from head to toe, bursting with a kind of vitality, even if he is a kid, he is very likable. Zhao Changqing clenched his fists to cover his lips and coughed lightly, and arched his hand, "I've seen the old lady and the wife." ”

Old Lady Zhao and Ling couldn't laugh. Today, Xiu Mu, Zhao Yong is also at home, and he can't help laughing, "Changning may not be handsome when he grows up." ”

Ling smiled, "How can a boy be like a girl." "The Ling family does not have high requirements for the appearance of their sons, men mainly look at their abilities, as long as they have skills, they are not afraid of having a good wife if they are mediocre in appearance.

Zhao Rong secretly rolled her eyes, and a flash of envy flashed in Yihua's eyes.

At one time, the carriage of the General's Mansion came, and Zhao Changqing resigned from his parents and took Yongfu with him.

Sure enough, the carriage didn't go to the General's Mansion at all, and after going directly to the street to meet with another carriage in the General's Mansion, Chu Yue called Zhao Changqing to get into her car, and changed his personal maid Huanzhu'er to Zhao Changqing's car. Zhao Changqing didn't leave behind Liang Qingyuan, who was riding a horse with Chu Yu on the side, and knew that he had made Chu Yue Liang Qingyuan's shield again.

Zhao Changqing's face didn't show any concern, and asked Chu Yue with a smile, "Sister Chu, where are we going to play this time?" ”

"It's rare for Ayu to take a break, now that the weather is just right, let's go out of the city."
