Chapter 52

Second Mrs. Ling took Third Sister Ling home.

Ling Teng was swinging chess pieces under the lamp, and when he saw his mother and sister coming back with the qin, he got up to greet him and asked, "Have my mother and sister eaten?" ”

Second Mrs. Ling still had a straight face, "Which one still has the heart to eat, have you eaten?" "I still think about my son.

"I've had it with my dad." Ling Teng instructed the little girl to go to the kitchen to serve the rice, and said, "I asked the girl to leave food for her mother, let's eat some more, it's not worth it for a little thing." ”

Second Mrs. Ling saw a son and a daughter, and said, "Your sister is useless, you have always understood, since you know about this, you should have told me earlier!" If I know the Tao, how can I make your sister suffer such a big loss! ”

Ling Teng closed the chess game, picked up the chess pieces one by one, and asked, "Mother, haven't you seen Sister Qing?" ”

Second Mrs. Ling took two sips of the tea handed by her daughter, pursed her mouth, and said, "It's a shame that your aunt shows off Changqing every day, and she also asked her husband to condition her in every way, thinking that she has made a good girl, who knows that she is out in the middle of the night!" ”

"Mother, don't say this." Ling Teng didn't sound like this, frowned and said, "Our family and my aunt's family just have to talk about one or two things because of some trivial things, mother, you talk about Sister Qing like this, so that others can hear it, what will you think of her?" If a word reaches my aunt's ears, she won't be able to forget it! ”

Putting the teacup on the table, there was a snapping sound, and Mrs. Ling Er snorted coldly, "Don't be afraid of what people say if you dare to do it!" A girl, I don't know where she got such great ability, she hooked up with the General's Mansion! Running wild outside every day! I'd like to see if she can climb the high branches! ”

Ling Teng said lightly, "Sister Qing can't climb the high branches, mother, are you going to offend the General's Mansion?" ”

Second Mrs. Ling's throat tightened, "I'm just saying it casually." ”

"Don't say this casually." Ling Teng said, "Just like my mother said, Sister Qing is a good friend of the girl from the General's Mansion. Your words have spread and ruined her reputation, is she a person who is bullied? She tore her face and stabbed this matter to the governor of the General's Mansion, and the General's Mansion raised her finger, and our family was finished. ”

Second Mrs. Ling hurriedly said, "I won't say anything more, okay." Hey, it's just chattering at home. ”

"Sister Qing is our relative, just because of a few taels of silver, mother, if you casually say that her reputation is bad, her life will be over." Ling Teng said, "It's not that I'm talking badly, how is my sister?" She was three years older, and she was still told to clean up. Mother, you are an elder, if you really go out of your way to create such rumors, your aunt's family will not give up. At that time, the relationship between the two families was over. Because of the separation, our family is still faint with the uncle's family, if we break off the relationship with my aunt's family again, how will others look at our family? ”

Second Mrs. Ling said in a continuous voice, "Okay, okay, I know the way, I will never say a word about Zhao Changqing again, okay?" ”

Second Mrs. Ling was a person of her age, and she was happy, and she said to Ling Teng, "I know that you are a thoughtful person, a hundred times stronger than your sister, tell me, why did you watch your mother suffer such a loss?" Isn't it true that a young girl is closer than your sister? ”

Ling Teng said, "I have eaten at the same table with my sister since I was a child, except for my father and mother, I am my sister." I don't tell my mother because I don't want to be idle anymore. You take advantage of Sister Qing's absence to get the piano back today, she won't give up. This matter is just a joke of the little sister in my mother's mouth, and I thought so at the time. In the past few years, I have grown older, and I think that my sister made a note before, and my sister and I have pressed our fingerprints. She's not kidding. In the end, my sister lost money in chess, and when it comes to it, our family doesn't take care of it. ”

"If she's weaker, like a big sister, it's easy to get things back." Ling Teng was already ten years old, his face gradually revealed a handsome outline, his eyes were calm, and his tone was indifferent, "Sister Qing is not easy to get along with, she was able to get the piano and chess step by step when she was a child." Mother, you ask the piano back, she won't give up. The fuss is nothing more than another anger. "My own family may not really be able to take advantage of Zhao Changqing!

Second Mrs. Ling's thin eyebrows raised, "She won't give up?" I'm not going to give up! She cheated your sister's private room for more than a dozen taels, is that it! No way! ”

Third Sister Ling and Xiao Yahuan put the food on the table, and said with a smile, "Mother, come over for dinner!" He said to Ling Teng again, "It's not as difficult as you think, as soon as I said it, my aunt gave me the piano." The chess pieces were hidden for Zhao Changqing, otherwise, I would have to bring them back. When I get my grandfather's good chess back, Aten, you don't want to use this bargain. ”

Second Mrs. Ling smiled, "Yes, it's our thing." ”

Third Sister Ling smiled at her mother and said, "Mother, I used to be too face-saving to fool Zhao Changqing." Otherwise, I would have told my mother earlier, and I wouldn't have called her a cheat in my private room. ”

Second Mrs. Ling glared at her daughter and took the chopsticks handed by her daughter, "You should have known this reason." ”

"Isn't that small?"

"Changqing is no smaller than you." Mrs. Ling gave her daughter a fish stew with chopsticks and taught, "What is face worth, people live a life, and it is more practical to have a lining." ”

Third Sister Ling smiled, "I remember." He added, "Zhao Changqing's girl is tricky and eccentric, Sister Rong is very good, delicate and weak, and she is willing to listen to what I say." ”

"You can see everyone." Second Mrs. Ling sneered, "I'm surprised, you are older than her, and you are not uglier than her, how can that girl even make friends with the General's Mansion, and you can't catch up with it." ”

Third Sister Ling said indignantly, "I want to make friends, but I have to have a chance?" If no one introduces you, what do you want to make friends with? Zhao Changqing knew that she introduced her poor neighbor, the daughter of a hundred families, to me. Slightly better friends never refer me to each other. She often invites people to play at home, when has she ever invited me? ”

"When I was a child, I knew that girl had no conscience." Second Mrs. Ling snorted, "Kill my brother's girl." ”

Ling Teng couldn't help but interject and said, "It's just that my sister has no ability, if I am Sister Qing, I know that you are talking about her like this at home, so I have to be glad that I didn't bring my sister." ”

Third Sister Ling was dissatisfied, "Are you my brother, why do you always favor that girl?" ”

"I'm not biased towards Sister Qing, but I'm just fair." Ling Teng said, "You also think about yourself, the eldest sister, the second sister and the fourth sister celebrate their birthdays, and the younger sister Qing all have needlework and thread exchanges." What about you? On your birthday, several sisters were not invited, only Sister Luan and Sister Feng were called. You don't have a relationship with Sister Qing, how can she carry you. ”

Third Sister Ling said, "In the past few years, as soon as I see her, I think of my private room, that girl is like a monster. ”

Ling Teng said, "If you lose, you will lose, even if you feel a little distressed, but you have already lost." You should grit your teeth and pretend to be graceful, why bother alienating your relatives because of some lost silver taels. If you do this, you are just losing more completely. ”

Third Sister Ling rolled her eyes and said, "I don't understand, I don't understand!" I don't have your ability to grit your teeth and pretend to be graceful! ”

Third Sister Ling clenched her chopsticks and said, "Anyway, this time I must get my private money back!" ”

It's really rotten wood that can't be carved!

Ling Teng simply stopped foaming.

Mrs. Ling's birthday is coming in a blink of an eye.

In fact, a few days have passed since Mrs. Ling's birthday. Because Zhao Yong and Uncle Ling were in the guard and the other in the yamen, they moved to Xiu Muri, just for the family reunion, and had a lively meal.

As soon as the Zhao family arrived, the house was even more lively.

Everyone saw each other lively.

As soon as Zhao Changning came, he said, "Sister, I'm going to find Cousin Teng." "He's never liked to mess with girls.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Go ahead." ”

Before Zhao Changning passed, Ling Teng had already come over and said with a smile, "I haven't seen my sister for a few days." ”

Zhao Changqing's combed hair was divided into a bun, and a bun of begonia flowers was pinned to her hair, lined with her begonia-colored skirt, and on her flower-like face, a pair of eyes were extremely smart, as if she could speak. Most of the girls in the border city are tall, and Zhao Changqing already feels a little girly.

Ling Tengxin said, if it were me, I would also like such a beautiful and smart sister.

"Yes, Sister Rong often talks about her cousin at home." Zhao Changqing beckoned Zhao Rong to come to him and said with a smile, "Cousin doesn't know Lu Dao, my sister Rong will make poems now." I thought, my cousin likes to be a talented person, and Sister Rong is so talented that even my husband at home said that she is not a talent for a hundred years. My cousin is a learned person, why don't you talk to Sister Rong, and see her as knowledgeable? ”

Zhao Rong originally wanted to find an opportunity to say a few more words to Ling Teng, but she didn't want Zhao Changqing to push her out. Zhao Rong was also calm and said with a smile, "It's just a few casual nonsense words, and a few words are recognized randomly, how can you dare to claim to be knowledgeable?" She smiled generously, "I haven't seen you for a long time, good cousin." ”

Zhao Rong really wants to show her beauty and style, but her current age and appearance are not compatible with these two, no matter how she dresses up, she is still a beautiful doll. Ling Teng took his eyes off Zhao Rong and looked at Zhao Changqing with a smile, "Listening to Sister Rong's little adult-like talk, it reminds me of my sister's childhood." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "My cousin is only two years older than me, when I was a little adult, wasn't my cousin a little adult?" ”

"Relying on being two years older, I will be an adult." Ling Teng smiled, "My sister is free, I want to say a few words to my sister alone." ”

Zhao Rong held her breath in her heart, acting innocent, "Cousin has something to tell my sister alone, can't we listen?" ”

Sister Ling is fifteen years old, a serious fair lady, and she smiled when she heard this, "As soon as the two of them meet, they are poems and paintings, and idlers can't understand them." Sister Rong, come over and give you a snack, it's delicious. ”

Zhao Changning saw that his brother and sister had something to say, but he was very sensible and didn't make trouble.

Zhao Changqing and Ling Teng went to the study.

In Master Ling's study, the people who can enter at will are except for Ling Teng, that is, Zhao Changqing.

Time is short, Ling Teng is not a procrastinator, he said softly, "The family hasn't been together like this for a long time, and my grandparents are getting older and older year by year, so it's really rare to have such a happy day." After foreshadowing, Ling Teng said, "I have something to ask for my sister." ”

Just listening to these few words, I knew that it was not unreasonable for Ling Teng to rise to the top in the future.

Zhao Changqing knew what he was going to say, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "My cousin shouldn't come to tell me, I'm just an outsider to my cousin." ”

"My sister is a person who understands. If you have something, you don't discuss it with someone who understands, and you can't explain it clearly with a confused person. Ling Teng smiled bitterly, "Sister Qing, I have brought the qin, and I can return to my sister's hand immediately." ”

Zhao Changqing's apricot eyes widened, "What does this mean?" Didn't you tell me to sneak it back? That's not good, it's originally mine, and I take it openly. ”

Ling Teng looked at her strong appearance, not only was he not angry, but he felt funny, his voice involuntarily softened by three points, and he said, "How can you ask my sister to sneak it back?" Rest assured, sister, I won't let my sister be wronged. It's just that today is my grandmother's birthday, and if the family is unhappy because of some trivial things, even if my sister wins, it's just a miserable victory. In the end, it makes the old man sad. What's more, there is also the love of the two families. It's a relative, even if there is something, it's good to solve it quietly in private, and there is no need to make a fuss. My sister said, isn't this the reason? ”

Zhao Changqing said in his heart, she is just smarter as a second-generation person. Ling Teng, this kid, is really jealous of his talent.

Zhao Changqing remained silent, and only said, "If Cousin Teng has a good way, just tell me." I'm not trying to make a fuss, but the second aunt and the third cousin must be the ones that the cousin also knows, and the good things in the world are not exclusive to any family. I have my own reason, and I only want my own things. "She's not unreasonable, but she's never easy to bully anymore. Even if the second wife of Ling and the third sister Ling are a pair of big and small shrews. Since Zhao Changqing dared to come, he was not afraid of them.

"My sister just rest assured. Grandfather's piano was handed down from his ancestors, and it was good, and it was worth three hundred taels. Go is an authentic Yunzi, and it is also worth hundreds of taels. Ling Teng's smile remained unchanged, and he said warmly, "It's not the first day that I know the value of those two things, and I told my sister this, not that my sister took advantage." In the past few years, our brother and sister have gotten along, and I know that my sister is a person who can study at ease. My grandfather's books are only for my sister except for me. ”

"My sister is different, she learns piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, just to show off. In the past few years, I have followed my husband at home, learning everything and being ordinary. Ling Teng said, "Such a good thing, given to my sister, is not a waste." ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Treasures are treasures, and those who are virtuous live in them." Although I dare not call myself virtuous, things are not wronged in my hands. ”

Ling Teng said softly, "In this way, I don't know if I can bother my sister to explain this matter in front of my grandfather with me." ”

It turned out that Ling Teng thought so. Zhao Changqing pondered for a moment and said, "It's not bad to ask my grandfather to be a middleman to tear it up." It's just that the cousin did this without telling the second aunt, wouldn't he be blamed by the second aunt? As soon as the words came out, Zhao Changqing regretted it, regardless of whether he Ling Teng was dead or alive, anyway, it would be good not to make her suffer.

Sure enough, Ling Teng smiled, "My sister is worried about me? ”

Zhao Changqing hated to slap himself and said, "You don't hear it." ”

Ling Teng smiled, "I've heard it, how can I deceive myself?" ”

Seeing that Zhao Changqing's face seemed to be displeased, Ling Teng accepted it when he saw it, and said no more, "I went to invite my grandfather to come, and my sister will wait for a while." ”

Zhao Changqing's jaw.

The author has something to say: Good afternoon~~~~
