Chapter 105

The Zhao family was also very happy to know the news that Ouyang Qingfeng came to the border city, especially Zhao Changqing repeatedly praised Ouyang Qingfeng's outstanding character, and said, "Like Mr. Su, he is approachable and very knowledgeable, not to mention martial arts, even from the perspective of character, it is also harmless to be able to ask Aningdo to contact such elders." ”

The Ling family was anxious about his son's apprenticeship, and raised his eyebrows and asked Zhao Changqing, "Then is your brother's apprenticeship accurate?" ”

Zhao Changqing took the tea handed by Yongfu and said with a smile, "Master Ouyang came to the border city on the first day, and his face was full of dust, how can he speak at this time." If you open your mouth and ask Master Ouyang to dismiss it, wouldn't there be no room for reversal. ”

Ling knew that he was too anxious, and said with a smile, "That's very reasonable. It's time to ask someone else's master to rest for a few days, you have always been a clever man, when will you see that others are in a good mood before you speak? Even if people don't want to accept apprentices, as you said, it's good to ask your brother to listen to the teachings of the elders. ”

After talking about Master Ouyang, Ling said, "Tomorrow we will go to the ancestor to say goodbye, don't forget to dress brightly." ”

Zhao Changqing responded and said, "Mother, I see that the leather goods in the shop have arrived, and the eldest aunt can choose the dowry of the eldest sister?" ”

Ling smiled, "I invited your eldest aunt to pick it first, she picked a lot of skins, not just for your eldest sister, next year your second sister will be in time, and the family affairs will be soon." ”

"yes, it's a blink of an eye." Zhao Changqing smiled, "The second sister has also lost weight in the past two years, there are three sisters, and the second sister has the best eyebrows and eyes, and she will definitely not worry about family affairs." ”

Ling Shi also said, "Yes, your second sister has been fat since she was a child, and she can't see good eyebrows and eyes on weekdays. Now it's just a little rich, but people look blessed, and now someone asks your aunt about your second sister. "I'm also very happy for my niece.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I remember that Sister Ling is the same age as the second sister, and Sister Ling will be in time next year. Because he was going to Zhu's house tomorrow to ask for peace, Zhao Changqing asked casually.

Ling smiled, "With the Zhu family's family background, your sister Ling is a prominent child, and it is not difficult to find a good family in the border city." ”

The mother and daughter talked a lot, and when it was time to eat in the evening, they went to Mrs. Zhao's house together.

On the second day, the children of the family went to Zhu's house to greet Mrs. Zhu.

Since Zhao Changning was almost abducted, the Yuan family has been more enthusiastic about the Zhao family, she heard her husband Zhu Mingtang say that the Zhao family couldn't find their son that day, and later the eldest son of the general's family came forward to find Zhao Changning back. Thinking of Zhao Yong's smooth sailing in the past few years, and now he has been promoted to 100 households, I think he must have caught the line of the General's Mansion. It's really inconspicuous, and he has such a skill.

is the sisters of the Zhao family, and now they are much more beautiful.

Even Mrs. Zhu liked the two sisters when she looked at them, and Zhao Changqing made a warm hat to honor Mrs. Zhu. Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's cold in autumn, when I made a warm hat for my grandmother, I thought it was a good material, thick and warm, so I made one for my ancestors." ”

Seeing that the old lady smiled at Zhao Changqing, Yuan said in his heart, this ability to climb up the pole, ordinary people really can't compare to Zhao Changqing. The Zhu family thinks that everyone is scholarly, Zhu Ling and others are all daughters who grew up, if you say that women are popular, they are also popular, but occasionally make a sachet and purse, it is very good. No matter how many things are, one is that it can't be done, and the other is not the style of Miss Qianjin. After all, there are needlework people or skillful girls in the family, and it is common for the girl to do it.

Zhao Changqing has no worries, the Zhao family is already ordinary, even Zhao Changqing's own clothes are mostly made by himself. She is a good woman, she can take out her hand, and to put it mildly, Zhao Changqing's needlework is no worse than the most ingenious girl ring of the Zhao family. What she made really fit Mrs. Zhu's heart. Since Mrs. Zhu gave Zhao Changqing a lot of things last year, Zhao Changqing has obviously become closer to Mrs. Zhu. Although the Zhao family is already a family of eunuchs, it is still far from being compared with a big family like the Zhu family, so Zhao Changqing started from the details and often sent needlework to Mrs. Zhu.

Mrs. Zhu already liked her, and after seeing the warm hat, she praised her a few words, and asked her what she was doing at home. Zhao Changqing smiled, "In addition to doing needlework, I still study with my husband, and my mother is teaching me to read the accounts in the shop." ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled, "It's very deserved." When your sister Ling was your age, she also followed your aunt to learn to manage the house. The girl's family, reading and literacy cultivates temperament, and the housekeeper director can understand the sophistication of people. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Especially some things look simple, and you really know the difficulties as soon as you take over, so you have to pay more attention to the details." ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled, "As long as you are careful and attentive, there is nothing difficult in the world." ”

After saying a few words with Mrs. Zhu, Zhao Changqing went to talk to the Zhu sisters.

Zhao Changqing didn't see Zhu Xi, so he inevitably asked, Zhu Ling sighed, "The second sister was doing needlework at night, and she didn't pay attention to the wind and got sick again." ”

Zhao Changqing felt strange and said, "There are so many maids and sisters in your house, just sisters and sisters usually do needlework, but to pass the time, Sister Xi's body is not very neat, why do you stay up late at night to do needlework?" "What's more, Zhu Xi is not the one who often does needlework, he usually looks for hair time, what needlework does Zhu Xi want to do in the middle of the night?

Zhu Ling didn't mention much, and said, "Her body is already delicate, and her maid ring is also confused, so she doesn't know how to persuade her, but she will be sick." ”

Zhao Changqing didn't talk much about Zhu Xi's illness, but said, "Sister Xi has been a little delicate since she was born, and it's too late to take care of her." But don't be like that. ”

Zhu Ling said, "Yes, I also persuaded her like this." Seeing that every day is like a day, her body is always bad, and it is not the norm to go on like this. ”

After talking about Zhu Xi's body, everyone talked about some other gossip, and Zhu Ling said, "Sister Zhao is married, do you know?" ”

Zhao Changqing didn't participate in the poetry meeting for a long time, if it weren't for Zhu Lingti, she really couldn't think of the Zhao family girl coming, and smiled, "I haven't heard of this." ”

"It's also a matter of the past two days, she and the ceremony were in June, and the royal family was decided after the ceremony."

Zhao Changqing asked, "Is it the royal family of Shangshu Mansion?" Wang Laoshangshu resigned and returned to his hometown in the border city, where he had a lot of prestige.

"Yes, it's still a big medium made by the prefect's wife."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "That's really an excellent marriage." Speaking of which, my sister will be in time for next year. ”

Zhu Ling smiled, "Are you joking of me?" ”

"It's fun or not, my sister will be in time next year."

Girls, and Lu means that you can get married. Zhu Ling was a little ashamed in her heart, but fortunately, she had always been a generous person, so she let go with a smile and said, "In a few years, you will still have this experience." ”

According to the dignity of the Zhu family, and the eldest granddaughter of Master Zhu Liu's eldest family, she can always do it decently and thoughtfully. It's just that Zhu Ling's family affair can simply worry about the Yuan family.

In the evening, I told my husband about the Zhao family's coming to ask for peace, and the Yuan family was worried about the daughter's lifelong affairs, "Mrs. Zhao is very interesting, his second son is one year older than our Ah Ling, and I heard that he reads well." And then there is the eldest wife of the Wang family, as if she has that meaning, and has praised our sister Ling several times for being generous and sensible. ”

"Didn't the Wang family marry the Zhao family?"

"The one who married the Zhao family is the third son of the royal family, and this is the son-in-law."

Zhu Mingtang raised his eyebrows, "The eldest son of a concubine married the eldest daughter of the Zhao family?" ”

"Look at what you said, it's just recorded in the name of your mother-in-law, just bluffing, otherwise how could you marry the third son of the Wang family?" Yuan said, "You have time to take a look at these two descendants and see which one is better." ”

"Okay." Zhu Mingtang responded and asked, "Sister Xi'er's body is better?" ”

Yuan sighed, "You also know what Sister Xi'er was like when she was good. Today I invited the doctor to come over, saying that it was better, she always couldn't eat to make people worried, there happened to be a bird's nest sent by my mother's family, I sent it to her, and asked her aunt to send her to eat every day. ”

"Sister Xi is also older, she is always sick and crooked like this, so I will hire a good doctor to recuperate and recuperate for her."

Yuan's heart was slightly sour, and he still said in his mouth, "That's the reason." The little girl's family must always be healthy to be liked. You see Cousin Yong's sister, she is really clever, she did a good needlework at a young age, and today she followed her second aunt to ask for peace, and made a warm hat for the ancestor, no wonder the ancestor likes her, I like her too. Sister Xi is older than Sister Qing'er, but I don't think I'm as tall as Sister Qing'er. It's really worrying. ”

Zhu Mingtang sighed, "Brother Ning, cousin Yong, was also born with a tiger's brain, you say this is also strange, our children are surrounded by mother-in-law, eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, why is it not as healthy as ordinary children?" ”

Yuan smiled, "Don't you say that, look at Sister Ling'er Sister Cicada, which one is not healthy?" It's just that Sister Xi is worrying. Hurry up and hire a good doctor for her, and it will be good to recuperate. ”

Zhu Mingtang still frowned slightly, and Yuan smiled, "What's wrong with you today?" ”

Zhu Mingtang gently patted the armrest of the Taishi chair with one hand and sighed lightly, "It's useless." ”

Yuan raised her eyebrows, poured a cup of tea and held it to her husband, "What you say is incomprehensible." ”

The relationship between the husband and wife is good, Zhu Mingtang pulled Yuan to sit down, and said softly, "You are still a housekeeper on weekdays, your grandfather and grandmother are old, and now they are all about to be eighty." The ancestor is a very clear one, we sincerely respect it, but my grandfather has always been a romantic temperament. Uncle has ten rooms, and the children and grandchildren add up to hundreds, but none of them have the blue eyes of their grandfathers. We live with our grandparents in the sixth room, which is close to the water, and it is easy for Sister Xi to get a praise from her grandfather, telling her to honor the old man something, which is also the heart of her great-granddaughter. Who knew that her body was useless, and the needlework was not done, but she was tired and sick. It's a shame that this thing didn't get out, otherwise wouldn't it make people laugh? ”

After many years of husband and wife, Yuan also thought about this earlier, but now he is helpless, and said, "This is also a helpless thing, who knew that she would be sick." ”

Zhu Mingtang waved his hand, "On weekdays, I look quite clever, but I am stupid and don't know how to say it when it is critical." Is it true that filial piety to elders must be done needlework, and learning those piano, chess, calligraphy and painting on weekdays is not filial piety? Her great-grandfather praised her for her piano, but didn't say that she was good at needlework? Why bother to do needlework like this, is it possible that there is still a shortage of needlework at home? ”

Yuan smiled, "Don't say that, there are girls who are pampered at home." If it doesn't work this time, isn't my grandfather not going home? When the grandfather came home, he called the sisters over to say goodbye, and it was the same. ”

Zhu Mingtang sighed and smiled, "Don't miss the opportunity, you won't lose it again." It's useless to say this now, let's tell Sister Xi to recuperate. Let's talk about Sister Ling's in-laws first. ”

"That's true." The husband and wife discussed it for a long time, and did not mention it until they rested late at night.

Each family has its own troubles, and Mrs. Zhu is still alive, and his descendants have planned for him to distribute the inheritance after his death. The Zhao family has no such worries, but the hero Ouyang Qingfeng has arrived in the border city, and Zhao Changning's apprenticeship has not been accurate, which also makes the Ling family anxious.

Zhao Changqing was not in a hurry, the grapes were ripe in a blink of an eye, and Ouyang Qingfeng asked her to make wine.

Chu Yu had a lot of opinions about this, and went to Ouyang Qingfeng's house early, and chattered around Ouyang Qingfeng, "Master has something to find Sister Qing, tell me, it's the same for me to call her here." ”

Ouyang Qingfeng didn't even glance at him, and said idly, "I'll send someone to call Changqing directly, why do you want to tell you?" By the way, what are you going to do? I didn't invite you. Uninvited, it's for the wicked too. ”

The corners of Chu Yu's lips twitched and twitched, and he casually pulled out a reason in a depressed manner, and said, "I'll come to say hello to Master." ”

Ouyang Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, "Please?" I didn't see you kowtow to me. ”

Chu Yu had to knock one, Ouyang Qingfeng smiled, "Okay, you also asked for peace, go back if it's okay." I don't need you to serve here. ”

Chu Yu got up from the ground, didn't leave, and said, "Didn't Master say that he wanted to make wine?" I gave Master a hand, and I also shared Master's worries. ”

"You stinky boy, where can I use you to share your worries, it's enough to have Changqing." When he didn't see Chu Yu's sour face, Ouyang Qingfeng dusted off his clothes and asked, "How is my clothes?" ”

Chu Yu knew that Ouyang Qingfeng had some stinky and beautiful problems, and complimented, "The clothes are good, the master's character is better, and this good clothes match the master's good character, it is better than better, excellent." ”

Ouyang Qingfeng said with satisfaction, "Even if you have eyesight, Changqing did it to give it to me." Changqing's hands are so skillful, not only are the snacks good, but the clothes don't need to be measured. Not only is it delicate, but I like the embroidery in this color. ”

Chu Yu almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, and said nervously, "Master, don't think much about it, Sister Qing is treating you as an elder!" ”

"How much do I think?"

Chu Yu blamed Zhao Changqing for not having a score in his heart, how could he give the old bachelor's clothes? What's more, it's an old bachelor who doesn't have any discipline! Chu Yu was so jealous that he couldn't speak in his mouth, and said vinegarily, "Sister Qing's character is like spring flowers, Master is already an old pumpkin in autumn, and now the status of master and apprentice is undecided, how can Master accept Sister Qing's clothes?" ”

"Autumn old pumpkin!" Ouyang Qingfeng chewed it several times, and Wei An's charming face hooked up an unkind smile, and kicked Chu Yu out.

Chu Yu was still muttering a pot of old vinegar in his heart, and said in his heart, this is going to turn his face? I haven't said you're an old cucumber or grasshopper in autumn!

So, when Zhao Changqing arrived at Master Ouyang's place, as soon as he got out of the car, he saw Chu Yu coming out of the gatehouse, Zhao Changqing was both surprised and happy, and asked, "Brother Chu, why are you in the gatehouse, could it be that you specially picked me up?" ”

Chu Yu smiled, "Master said that he would accept you as an apprentice today, and I will welcome you." ”

"Take me as an apprentice?"

"Yes, the master said that you have extraordinary qualifications, good materials and beautiful jade, so he started to accept apprentices." Chu Yu couldn't wait to confirm the master-apprenticeship status of Ouyang Qingfeng and Zhao Changqing.

Zhao Changqing looked embarrassed, "However, I don't mean to practice martial arts at all." Brother Chu, can the master accept A-Ning instead? ”

Chu Yu smiled, "Why are you stupid, you worshiped the teacher first, and it won't be too late for us to mention A-Ning's matter in the future." "He brought Ouyang Qingfeng here, originally to ask Zhao Changqing to apprentice. It doesn't matter whether you learn martial arts or not, the status of master and apprentice is the most important, as long as you worship the teacher, he and Zhao Changqing will have the status of brother and sister.

Zhao Changqing tugged on Chu Yu's arm and stopped. Chu Yu asked her, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhao Changqing pulled his sleeve, Chu Yu approached, Zhao Changqing leaned over to his ear and asked, "Will it become a rice bucket?" "After practicing martial arts, what if you are like Chu Yu, how about eating a table of dishes at a meal?

Chu Yu burst out laughing and said, "The status of master and apprentice will be determined first, and we will talk about it later if we practice martial arts." "Anyway, he doesn't want Zhao Changqing to practice martial arts. The girl is a little heroic, but she can't become a savage.

Zhao Changqing was worried again, "I didn't bring an apprenticeship?" ”

"Why not? The clothes were not delivered in advance. That's the apprenticeship. Chu Yu said sourly, "I said that my sister is really good at doing things, and now she will give gifts." ”

"What is this called gift-giving?" Zhao Changqing said, "The border city is colder than the Central Plains, the master came that day, I saw that the master was wearing a single clothes, and now that it is autumn, how can it be so thin?" What if it freezes? You have a serious messenger to be busy, and besides, such a trivial matter is not worth making a fuss, so I rushed to make thick clothes and let people send them to the master. Later, I learned that there was no shortage of people to serve here, and I was relieved. ”

Chu Yu smiled, "You are careful, the master is quite industrial, not the kind of artists who run the rivers and lakes for a living." The reason why there was only a house and no servants and maids was because the master had his own people to serve. ”

The two went in as they spoke, and Ouyang Qingfeng sat under the acacia tree in the atrium, his voice was loud and beautiful, "I have lived for more than thirty years, and it is the first time that I have worn a needle and thread made by an apprentice." ”

Chu Yu gave his master a sour look, hurried over a few steps to pour a new cup of tea and handed it to Zhao Changqing, and said, "Sister Qing, apprentice." ”

Ouyang Qingfeng is the most unscrupulous master Zhao Changqing has ever seen, and a cup of tea is an apprenticeship. Chu Yu quietly comforted her, "It's much more solemn than when I was almost forced to apprentice at that time."

Ouyang Qingfeng glared at Chu Yu, Zhao Changqing pursed his lips and smiled, Chu Yu took her hand, "Sister Qing, we will be serious brothers and sisters in the future." ”

Ouyang Qingfeng drank tea leisurely, and slowly beat the mandarin ducks with a stick, "Even if you are a senior brother and sister, don't move your hands and feet." Changqing is a big girl, you have to be dignified as a senior brother. ”

"Master has always been well-informed, when did he care about those useless red tape?" Chu Yu smiled, "You're not a sour and rotten person." ”

Ouyang Qingfeng smiled, "It can be seen that you don't know Master at all, Master is naturally sour and rotten." ”

Chu Yu finally choked Ouyang Qingfeng to death.
