Chapter 42

Approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, all kinds of social exchanges are coming.

Zhao Changqing remembered that in the previous life, Zhao Rong would always complain to the Ling family, "I always have to go out, I'm tired, mother, can I not go?" The tone was full of pampering and helpless self-satisfaction, which was an indescribable superiority.

In this life, Zhao Changqing cherishes the opportunity to go out to socialize, she doesn't feel tired at all, on the contrary, she is always in high spirits. Because she often goes out, the Ling family is not stingy with her, the shop at home sells silk and satin in summer and fur in winter, under Ling's deliberate dress, Zhao Changqing can always have a few bright skirts. She used to make needlework for people in her last life, and she had her own experience in matching colors with clothes, and now she has Mr. Su to guide her, so even if the material is ordinary, Zhao Changqing can always dress up beautifully.

Mrs. Zhu smiled, "Miss Qing is getting more and more lovely." "The elders like the mellow and lovely juniors, not to mention that Zhao Changqing often comes.

Zhao Changqing said with a smile, "Today, I am wearing new clothes for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I specially wore them to show my ancestors, and I also congratulated my ancestors on the Mid-Autumn Festival in advance." He bowed again.

Mrs. Zhu saw that her behavior was more beautiful than before, and her words were likeable, so she couldn't help but smile, "I'm getting better and better." He beckoned her to come forward. Today, Zhao Changqing didn't comb her hair, her hair gradually increased, and she barely combed a double flat bun, with a small cluster of big red silk flowers on each hairpin, and the hair behind her was braided into two small braids to the front of her neck, and the tips of the braids were also tied with small silk flowers, with rouge between her eyebrows, a gold collar around her neck, and a big red dress.

Mrs. Zhu smiled and asked, "I heard that you had a treat a few days ago?" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Because I am getting older, my mother cleaned up another house and asked me to live by myself, and now I also have my own house, so I want to invite my friends and sisters to come over to play." In the past, when I was young, I always went to my friends' houses as guests, and I never invited them back, but fortunately, they saw that I was young and didn't care about me, otherwise, wouldn't they have lost a small reputation. ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled when she heard this, "When you are older, it is time to learn to socialize with the little sisters." Tell me, what's in reserve? He asked Zhao Changqing carefully.

Zhao Changqing said 1510, even the fruits she bought in Nanxiangyuan, what kind of tea she drank that day, what kind of fresh fruits she put on the table, a few cold dishes and a few hot dishes for lunch, and what she sent after the last time, everything was clearly understood.

Mrs. Zhu bowed her head and said to Mrs. Zhao, "This girl is well educated." ”

Mrs. Zhao smiled, "The first time Qing girl invited a friend to come to the house to play, she was about to grow up, most of these are what she thought about first, if there is something not thorough, I will mention her with her mother a little more, and it is also the meaning of asking her to learn to take care of some small things." ”

Mrs. Zhu is also from a large family, and the benefits in it are naturally known as soon as she smells it, and she laughs, "The girls in the family should be taught like this." He said to Zhao Changqing again, "Sister Ling and they didn't go over that day, don't blame them." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "What's the matter, I will come to my ancestors every month to say goodbye, and it is common to be with Sister Ling Xi and Sister Cicada." The sisters have something to do, and the next time they play together, it's just that. Then he asked, "Ancestor, why don't you see your sisters today?" ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled, "They followed your eldest aunt to her grandfather's house." Obviously, as the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the Zhu family is more social, and it is not just adults who are busy at this time.

After a while, the maid brought three small cups of steamed cheese with sugar.

People in the border city often eat cow and goat milk, Mrs. Zhu smiled, "If it is cold today, I will ask them to make some hot food to eat, you all taste it, this is freshly milked to steam, with almonds to go fishy, the taste is not bad." ”

Peel off the thin bowl lid, the palm-sized blue and white porcelain bowl is still perched with crisp cheese like grease, just looking at the appearance can be indescribably delicate and exquisite, Zhao Changqing will also eat sugar steamed cheese at home, and the appearance is less than half of the Zhu family. The maid stepped forward, the thick ** sweetness and white heat escaped together, Zhao Changqing thanked her, she is now very polite with Mr. Su, and her posture of eating is casual and beautiful, and there will be no sound of spoons and bowls. Zhao Changqing has a good appetite, and in a blink of an eye, a bowl of sugar steamed cheese is all in his stomach, and Zhao Changqing wipes the corners of his mouth with a small handkerchief.

Mrs. Zhu liked her sweet and lovely appearance, and she also took a few more bites, and asked with a smile, "Is it delicious?" ”

Zhao Changqing nodded, "It's delicious." ”

Mrs. Zhu instructed the maid, "Bring another bowl to Changqing." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Ancestor, this bowl is enough, if you don't eat it too much, you will feel like you can hold it up if you eat it again." She learned a lot of rules and etiquette from Mr. Su, but Mr. Su also told her, "Rules and etiquette are learned to make you look more cute and elegant, not to make you pretentious, and nature is naturally more important than any rules and etiquette." Therefore, Zhao Changqing knows etiquette, but he is not bound by etiquette, and he looks quite generous.

Mrs. Zhu smiled, "That's it, when you come next time, I'll ask the chef to cook steamed cheese for you to eat." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled.

The Yuan family and the Zhu sisters were not there, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhu talked very freely, chattered a lot of trivial things, and after lunch, Mrs. Zhao took Zhao Changqing to leave.

As soon as he got home, Ling told Zhao Changqing, "Miss Li is here, you go to Mr. Su to have a look." "There is a gentleman who is familiar with her husband's top officials, and Ling Shi is more and more aware of Mr. Su's invitation.

Zhao Changqing asked, "Is Sister Li here to find Mr. Su?" ”

Ling smiled, "It's coming after noon, you haven't gone home yet, I said a few words to her, and she went to Mr. Su's courtyard." We are the master's family, since you are back, go and say a few words. ”

Zhao Changqing nodded and went.

Li Mingzhu has always had a cheerful temper, and he couldn't sit still, so he sat on the side and watched Mr. Su sew clothes. The Zhao family packs the four seasons clothes of Mr. Su's mother and son, Mr. Su has his own craftsmanship, and he does not need the main family to give ready-to-wear, and directly brings the materials, and she and Su Bai's clothes are sewn by themselves.

Mr. Su smiled when he saw Zhao Changqing, seeing that her clothes were still the same as when he went out in the morning, and said with a smile, "I just came back." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I heard from my mother that Sister Li is here, I'll come and take a look." I greeted Li Mingzhu again.

Li Mingzhu smiled and pulled her to sit on the kang, "My sister's outfit is really good-looking." You dot such a big red dot between your eyebrows, it's really like a doll on a New Year's painting. ”

Zhao Changqing blinked, "Is the doll on the New Year's painting as beautiful as me?" ”

Li Mingzhu smiled, Mr. Su brought a cup of warm water for Zhao Changqing to drink, looked at Li Mingzhu, and said helplessly, "You see Changqing knows how to dress up, Mingzhu, you are eight years old, and you should also learn to dress up." ”

Li Mingzhu combed her hair into a women's bun all the year round, with a few beaded flowers on the side of the bun, and bead pendants hanging down her ears, no matter the color or style, it didn't match at all. She herself is just delicate in appearance, and she doesn't pay attention to makeup, so she is as ordinary as a passerby. Li Mingzhu didn't care, and said lazily, "Everyone has their own ambitions, and this is not interesting at all." ”

"What's interesting?"

Li Mingzhu smiled, "A few days ago, I went hunting with Sister Chu, and although I didn't hunt anything, I thought it was very interesting. ”

Mr. Su touched her head, "Men draw bows and arrows, women teach husbands and children, and most people live like this." You are different from others, and it will be very hard in the future. ”

Li Mingzhu was melancholy, "Cousin, even if I am the same as others, it will be very hard. I haven't met anyone who hasn't worked hard, and I'm working hard right now. Her eyes flashed, revealing a few hints of wisdom, and she leaned in front of Mr. Su and said, "Cousin, do you want me to work harder?" ”

Mr. Su smiled and straightened her bun beads, and his gentle tone carried a hint of decisiveness, "Mingzhu, who is your closest person?" Not me, but your father, mother, brothers and sisters of your compatriots. In contrast, I am just an outsider, and I should never hurt the hearts of my loved ones for an outsider. ”

Li Mingzhu pursed her lips, which gave her a solemn look on her delicate face, and Li Mingzhu said, "I have never regarded you as an outsider. ”

Mr. Su smiled, "I know." However, family affairs are not something you cut first like this. You should try to talk to your parents first, rather than just doing it rashly. You've grown up, and you're sophisticated. You like me, I like you, you have time to come and see me, it's enough. ”

Li Mingzhu sighed and said earnestly, "I don't do it rashly, I really admire your character." I always feel that my family's neglect of you will be my family's greatest loss. ”

Zhao Changqing sighed secretly, she never knew that Li Mingzhu could speak like this.

Mr. Su smiled, "Pearl, the world's affairs, just follow the fate." ”

Li Mingzhu sighed, "I always feel that things are man-made." ”

Mr. Su stopped talking, just showed a meaningful smile. Zhao Changqing got along with her for a long time, and immediately understood Mr. Su's meaning: It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen, and you can't force them.

Li Mingzhu failed to convince Mr. Su in the end, in fact, Zhao Changqing felt that not to mention one Li Mingzhu, that is, eight Li Mingzhu combined, it was delusional to say that Mr. Su was moved. Mr. Su is the kind of person who seems to be very gentle, but is actually extremely assertive, and it is difficult to change her opinion.

This made Li Mingzhu a little depressed when she said goodbye, Zhao Changqing sent her out, and Li Mingzhu complained in a low voice, "You don't help me speak." ”

Zhao Changqing shouted injustice, "Sister Li, I haven't even figured out what you're going to say now, how can I help you speak." ”

Li Mingzhu raised his eyebrows and said, "Where do you still need to know the causes and consequences of the Dao, you just need to tell your cousin, a family, don't give birth, it's enough." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I thought Sister Li had already said these words." ”

Li Mingzhu choked, and immediately smiled, pinched her little fat hand, and regained her former confidence and calmness, "You guy, you are getting better and better at talking." I'll leave first, sister, and I'll come back to you later. ”

Zhao Changqing sent her to the door and watched her get into the car until the carriage was far away, and then turned back.

When Mr. Su saw Zhao Changqing coming back, he sighed, "Mingzhu really lives up to her name." ”

Zhao Changqing said in his heart, isn't it the reason why Sister Li patted Mr. Ass, it seems that everyone loves to hear good words, and she will have to pat Mr. Sycophants more in the future.

Mr. Su gave Zhao Changqing an angry smile and said, "You should have slapped me on the back a long time ago, and after making me physically and mentally comfortable, I will naturally have your benefits." ”

Zhao Changqing let out a "huh" and asked cheekily, "Sir, how can you see what I'm thinking?" ”

Mr. Su touched her head with a sympathetic expression, "Changqing, this is the difference between being smart and being stupid." ”

Zhao Changqing sighed, "It's really a blow to me." ”
