Chapter 153
Lucky star or disaster star, Zhao Changqing really doesn't care now, she feels that although she can't control fate, she can actually know how to live, and she has lived in vain.
Zhao Changqing listened to Ling's chatter, "There is a matchmaker who tells your second sister that she is a matchmaker who is engaged in a small grocery business, and there are still a few acres of thin land at home, although she is not very rich, she can live a good life." The man was not very old this year, he was thirty years old, and the woman in front of him died of illness, leaving behind a son and a daughter. Your uncle also recognized the man, and said that he was a sincere man. That man doesn't think your second sister is fat. ”
Zhao Changqing said, "Second sister is much thinner now. ”
"yes. The appearance is marked. "Although Second Sister Ling is much thinner than before, she does look good, but compared with before, it is not much off with Peugeot. Because she is a niece, the Ling family naturally looked at the second sister and smiled, "You have time to persuade your second sister." Your eldest uncle and aunt all say that they are reliable people, although your second sister is divorced, she can't stay in her mother's house for the rest of her life, she always has to get married. ”
As soon as Zhao Changqing heard it, he knew that Second Sister Ling was unwilling to do this family business, and smiled, "What's so good about persuading this, no matter how good a male family is, the second sister must be willing to be a parent." The second sister is unwilling, so it's good to push it first for the time being, so why force her. ”
"What is this called, if you don't care about the future, you will get married sooner or later, while you are young now, you can still pick a good family, and if you delay it for a few more years, your second sister will really be difficult to pick someone." Ling patted Zhao Changqing's hand and said, "It's you, I have to tell you about my family in two years." It's not that the family hates you, but girls, where is there a lifetime of living in your mother's house without marrying. Even if you live in your mother's house, now that you are guarded by your father and mother, you will not suffer hardship. Can it be done later? Father and mother will always go first, will they guard their brothers and brothers-in-law in the future? ”
"Brothers are relatives, brothers' daughters-in-law are not relatives, and nephews are only half relatives. I don't like what I say, but I tell the truth. Ling Shi said softly, "Look at Mr. Su, although he doesn't have a man, at least he has a son." Ah Bai is also promising, and in a few years, when Ah Bai has taken the test and earned his future, Mr. Su's good days will come. ”
Zhao Changqing said, "Otherwise, I'll also pick up a son and come back." ”
Ling was so angry that he slapped her for a moment, and he laughed angrily again, "Don't talk nonsense, how can my son pick it up, it's not my own talent." Other people's children can't be raised. It's your second sister, if she is willing to do this, she has to give birth to her own children when she gets married, so that she can really be settled. ”
After chattering for a while, Ling said, "You tell your second sister, don't ask her to come to the pharmacy, it matters to think about family affairs at home first." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Changqing really understood Ling's intentions, and smiled, "I said that my mother, who was so good, asked me to persuade the second sister, it turned out that it was for this." It must have been the eldest aunt who told her mother, don't you want me to let my second sister come to the pharmacy to help, right? ”
Ling smiled, "What a clever ghost, I can't hide anything from you." ”
"That's not good, now the shop is busier than before, and my mother doesn't know my shop, except for me and Mr. Su, it's Zhao Liangdong and the second sister. Zhao Liangdong is an apprentice, and he is also young, so he is not very useful now. However, the second sister is now in charge of the medicine warehouse, and she is in charge of the bookkeeping of medicines. It's easy for my aunt to say, where can I find such a credible person to replace my second sister for a while. It's not easier to do business now than before, and many shops have closed, even the garment shop next to my pharmacy, which was closed a few days ago. Zhao Changqing said, "Don't say that the second sister's family affairs have not been decided, but they have been decided, and she has to allow me to find someone to take over and resign." The eldest aunt is too, the second sister is obviously unwilling, why force the second sister like this? If a woman wants to get married, she can marry at any time. There is no woman in the world who can't get married, but there are many singles who can't marry a daughter-in-law. Mother, don't listen to my aunt and uncle, the wind is the rain, I will give the second sister a salary increase next month, and the second sister will not leave. ”
Ling Shi smiled, "Let your eldest aunt know, I have to scold you." ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Don't pay attention to the eldest aunt, she will be fine by herself in a few days." Now why are you in a hurry to say goodbye to the second sister, isn't the fourth sister's family matter still undecided? ”
Ling smiled, "Your fourth sister's family affairs are already ready, and Layue will make up her mind." Otherwise, why is your eldest aunt so anxious about your second sister. ”
"The second sister is not the first time she gets married, or the fourth sister is decided, so there is no need to rush to marry the second sister." Zhao Changqing asked again, "Mother, which family is the fourth sister set?" ”
"Speaking of which, it's your eldest brother-in-law's third uncle who made the matchmaker, and it's the younger son of Lord Liu, the prefect's yamen secretary." Ling's face was full of smiles, "That family's surname is Li, the Li family is such a son, the family has three or five hectares of fertile land, and there is a silk shop outside." This Li Gongzi's family contracted the canteen of the Yamen, which was quite oily and watery. Mrs. Li also took a look at your fourth sister in person, and she was very satisfied. I have already seen the days, and I will get married in November. ”
Zhao Changqing asked, "It sounds like a wealthy family, how is Li Gongzi a person?" ”
Ling said, "I heard your eldest aunt say that he is a child who knows etiquette. Your aunt is overjoyed. ”
Zhao Changqing really can't say what Mrs. Ling's vision is, if it weren't for Mrs. Ling's insistence on marrying Second Sister Ling to her parents' family, Second Sister Ling might not have ended up with the result of reconciliation and separation. Of course, if you lose the east, you will reap the mulberry. Second Sister Ling is happy to know her fate and is very open-minded, even now, Second Sister Ling also told Zhao Changqing in private that if it weren't for Heli, she wouldn't know how to live such a good life.
Regarding Fourth Sister Ling's family affairs, Zhao Changqing still said, "Actually, as long as the man's family can live, the key depends on the man's character." ”
"Doesn't your aunt know better than you do?" After saying this, Ling Shi whispered again, "Don't worry, after your second sister's matter, your eldest aunt has never inquired about it without bother." An honest boy indeed. ”
Zhao Changqing didn't say anything about Mrs. Ling in front of Second Sister Ling at all, but Second Sister Ling was very uneasy, and when she was idle one afternoon, she quietly asked Zhao Changqing, "Sister Qing, you won't call me home, will you?" ”
"If the second sister goes home, who cares about it? Who counts the account? I heard that my aunt is asking you to go back, and I want to give my sister a salary increase this month. "Since Second Sister Ling started to manage the accounts, Zhao Changqing has given her a salary of two taels per month.
Second Sister Ling was straight, "The salary doesn't need to rise, don't ask me to leave." "I just continued to make medicine with peace of mind.
Zhao Liangdong came in from outside and said, "Sister Changqing, the shop next door to us has been taken down." ”
To be honest, Zhao Changqing's position in the pharmacy is not very good, especially now that the border city and Xiban trade are banned, and many businesses in the border city are depressed. Zhao Changqing's pharmacy was originally a silk shop, but it was closed due to poor business, and it was only a few days before someone took it down.
Zhao Changqing asked, "What kind of shop?" ”
"Fur sellers." Zhao Liangdong and Zhao Changqing are of the same family, and their original family background is acceptable, and there are one or two acres of land in the family, so they will not come to the shop to be an apprentice. Because of Zhao Liangdong's bad death, his parents died of illness one after another, leaving him to jump alone. In the past, in order to treat his parents, the family's land was sold and deserved. Although he has an uncle, he is not young, and it will be a sum of money to marry a wife and have children in the future, and his uncle is not willing to take him away. Zhao Liangdong's family business is gone, and the clan can't see that he has no livelihood, so after discussing with his uncle, they thought about arranging for him to be an apprentice in someone's shop, and he also has a place to take care of food. Just in time for Zhao Changqing to open a pharmacy, I don't know where Zhao Liangdong heard the news, so he recommended himself. Fortunately, he also learned a few words in the family science when he was young, he was clever and clever, and his hands and feet were also neat, Zhao Changqing lacked a janitor in this shop, so he accepted him as an apprentice. On weekdays, Zhao Liangdong lives in the pharmacy.
Hearing that it was a fur seller, Zhao Changqing said without thinking, "Now that you can't trade with the Xiban, where is there still fur to sell?" ”
Zhao Liangdong smiled, "It's not to go to Xiban to buy fur, it's to come to the border city to do fur trading, we can't trade with Xiban here, it's very cold in autumn and winter, and people have to wear leather jackets to survive the winter." They bought furs elsewhere and came to do business. ”
Zhao Changqing nodded slightly, and said, "Go out and have a look, you should say hello to your neighbors." ”
When Zhao Changqing went out, he saw several big cars blocking the door, and said in his heart, "It's strange that my shop has no business today."
There was a woman in a big red shirt standing at the door of the shop next to her, who was coldly shouting and commanding, "Be careful, lift it gently!" ”
The men who drove the car helped carry boxes and boxes of things into the shop, and a man in a green shirt came out, holding a celadon cup of tea in his hand and handing it to the woman in red shirts, saying, "Sister Lin, drink tea." ”
From Zhao Changqing's point of view, he could only see half of the man's face, but that half of his face was indescribably handsome and elegant. Zhao Changqing sincerely felt that even if Su Bai grew up, it would be like this.
The man in the green shirt felt Zhao Changqing's gaze, turned around slightly, and clasped his fist at Zhao Changqing, "We first came to Guibaodi to do business, and we heard that the doctor of Sanren Pharmacy is a girl surnamed Zhao, is the girl Dr. Zhao?" "I made a shop here, so I naturally inquired.
Zhao Changqing has always been a generous person, and smiled back, "Exactly." I heard that there was a new neighbor, so I came over to take a look. If there's anything you can do to help, just ask. ”
The man in the green shirt was very kind and smiled, "My surname is Ji, this is the owner of our shop, surnamed Lin." Even Miss Lin, who was watching the guy moving things, introduced it.
Miss Lin had already turned around and squinted at Zhao Changqing. Zhao Changqing clearly heard Zhao Liangdong's gasp, it was really not that Zhao Liangdong was young and uneducated, or Zhao Changqing was also startled, with her appearance, she was also middle-class, but when she saw this Lin girl, she understood what it was amazing.
Miss Lin is completely the size of a northern woman, half a head taller than Zhao Changqing, on par with Ji Gongzi, with snow-white skin and extremely gorgeous facial features, especially a pair of peach blossom eyes, cold like ice and snow with rippling waves, very different. Zhao Changqing's appearance was lined by Miss Lin, and he was suddenly reduced to a passer-by. As for Zhao Liangdong, whose appearance belonged to passer-by A, he was compared with Miss Lin, and immediately became potato B.
Zhao Changqing sincerely felt that in terms of appearance, only people like Ji Gongzi could stand side by side with Miss Lin.
Miss Lin looked at Zhao Changqing for a moment, her cold expression was slightly gentle, "My surname is Lin, Arnold is my family's bookkeeper, and Dr. Zhao can call him Arnold or Xiao Ji." When I first came to Guibao Land, I couldn't help but take care of Dr. Zhao. ”
