Zhang Fengluan and Third Sister Ling were obviously prepared, as soon as Zhang Fengluan's words landed, Third Sister Ling continued, "Okay, then I'll come over with Sister Luan tomorrow, Sister Qing has a lot of friends, we can help Sister Qing entertain one or two." ”

Second Sister Ling glanced at Third Sister Ling, picked up a piece of cake and ate it silently, without speaking. Fourth Sister Ling is younger, and she has always been a strong person, so she has a little trouble on her face, and the corners of her lips are hooked with a sneer. Senior Sister Ling stopped talking again, and when Third Sister Ling saw her appearance, she asked, "Big Sister, do you want to come over?" ”

Senior Sister Ling shook her head and said softly, "There have been several times when Sister Qing introduced her friends to me, and it is not possible to talk about one place, so it is better to separate like this." When they get together, they don't know what to say. How nice it would be for us to talk affectionately like this. ”

Zhao Changqing is not a stingy person, she rarely interacts with Third Sister Ling, and Sister Ling and sisters often come. Ling Zhao is just a small family, and relatives don't send people to inform or send posts in advance, they all come when they want to. Sometimes when Zhao Changqing has guests, everyone naturally talks together. The real lady of the family, like Chu Yue, she will not embarrass people, but it is impossible for you to ask her to treat the Ling family sisters like Zhao Changqing.

If you can't say one place, you can't say one place. Sister Ling has met a few times, but she feels uncomfortable, and when she meets such a daughter, Sister Ling always has to be a little cautious, and she really feels that it is better to talk happily between sisters like this.

She really didn't understand, Third Sister Ling had to come over tomorrow to do something!

Sister Ling didn't understand, but she didn't know that Third Sister Ling was going to be angry when she heard Sister Ling's words, she had already said that she wanted Zhao Changqing to help her introduce some well-born ladies to know, it had been several years, Zhao Changqing pretended to be stupid, who knew that Zhao Changqing would take care of Sister Ling and them like this! How unreasonable!

If it was the past, Third Sister Ling would have to break out. However, since last year, Third Sister Ling has already cleaned up Zhao Changqing's temper, she raised a stiff smile, and said, "Big sister is a Sven person, and there are people who don't like to be lively. ”

Eldest Sister Ling knew that Third Sister Ling had a strong temper, she had a gentle temperament, so she simply didn't say more, but glanced at Zhao Changqing very worriedly. Zhao Changqing gave Sister Ling a reassuring look, and everyone continued to talk.

The first day of his birthday was lively, and after the sisters said goodbye one by one, Zhao Changqing sent them away affectionately and politely, and went to Mrs. Zhao's house to talk.

Mrs. Zhao asked with a smile, "All sent away?" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Well, they're all gone." Sister Lihuaer also went home, and Lizi Liguo was playing with A-Ning Abai and them. ”

Mrs. Zhao touched her granddaughter's hair, "Are you tired?" If you have a mess in the house, rest on your grandmother's kang for a while. ”

"I don't feel tired, it's just that my mouth is dry." Taking the tea from Liu Er, Zhao Changqing drank most of it and smiled, "There are too many words." ”

Mrs. Zhao smiled with relief, her own granddaughter who was raised single-handedly, the longer she grows, the more she is interested, who doesn't like it. Mrs. Zhao asked, "Sister Luan'er, I don't see much of that child." She is the granddaughter of your third aunt's grandmother's family, and I heard that she also has two older sisters in her family. They are sisters in one room, why do you only invite her, and not her two sisters? "If you just go back and forth on weekdays, and your birthday is like this, it is very rude.

Zhao Changqing said, "Speaking of this, I also made Cousin Luan confused, although our family and her family are relatives, we don't have much contact on weekdays." I don't know her well, but she is familiar with the third cousin of my second uncle's family. The third cousin has always been a person who does things, and he has always had no rules, so he suddenly brought Cousin Luan here, which surprised me. ”

Old Madam Zhao shook her head, "This is really the right person." "Third Sister Ling's temper, Mrs. Zhao doesn't want to say more. It's Zhang Fengluan, who has seen few people in the past, but she doesn't know such a rude girl.

Zhao Changqing said, "Cousin Luan and Third Cousin said that she will come over tomorrow to help me entertain guests." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao laughed, shook her head and said, "They can come if they like to come, they are all relatives, and there is no reason to go to the door and then go out." Glancing at Zhao Changqing, Mrs. Zhao said softly, "People's hearts all want to run to high places." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Grandmother, don't worry, I know it in my heart." "In fact, people go to high places, water flows to low places, and there is nothing wrong with the truth in the world. Even Zhao Changqing will also make noble friends. However, making friends is also about your affection and my willingness, and you can't force it at all. Not to mention that like Zhang Fengluan, he is simply dead-faced, and the evil guest comes to the door, and his face is ugly.

It's not that Zhao Changqing looks down on Zhang Fengluan, if she is always like this, it will be difficult for her to make the kind of friends she idealizes.

After talking to Mrs. Zhao for a while, Zhao Changqing went to Ling's place again, and Ling's also asked about Zhang Fengluan, Zhao Changqing told the truth, and Ling sighed, "It's really uneducated." Your third cousin has a smart face, and she can speak well on weekdays, but she is the most stupid, and she is fooled by the girl of the Zhang family. Your third cousin asked her to instigate, and she didn't even have a sense of proportion. "The Ling family has long been an eccentric person, and at this time, not to mention that Third Sister Ling acted inappropriately, she immediately put all the matter on Zhang Fengluan's head.

Zhao Changqing then followed his mother's words and said, "The third cousin prefers to associate with these people, and this Zhang Fengluan is said to be the granddaughter of the third aunt's grandmother, but she is a concubine. On weekdays, she loves Ba Gao Xiang on the most, she also has two sisters at home, she never likes to be with her sister, but has a good relationship with her third cousin. If you want me to say, the Zhang family is also an ordinary family now, if Zhang Fengluan's character is really good, it is worth dating, and she is so frivolous and rude. Even if the third cousin wants to make friends, it is only right to make friends with the two girls from his family. Otherwise, the second uncle has now set up his own door, saying that the family is ordinary, and it is also a serious scholarly family, there is a shop outside, there is a girl at home, and the third cousin is a serious eldest daughter, she is now twelve years old, and she will say goodbye in three or two years. Serious and good people are all disciplined, if the third cousin of Zhilu Dao always likes to associate with these concubines, the reputation is not good. ”

The Ling family also hated Zhang Fengluan, a girl who pretended to be smart and used her own house as a ladder, and said, "I have to talk to your second uncle and mother when I have time." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "The second aunt didn't come to our house for more than half a year, and it was only when my father was promoted that he showed his face, and he looked at the affection, but he pretended to be affectionate." When her mother told her this, she was not very happy. ”

Thinking of Ling Er's temperament, Ling said helplessly, "Your second aunt's temper, can I not know the way?" It's just that the third sister is so unsweet-hearted, and the girl of the Zhang family is a scheming person, how can she be reassuring to associate with such a girl? ”

Zhao Changqing said, "We all understand this reason, but I'm afraid that the second aunt won't know about our family." My mother also knew that my third cousin had long wanted me to introduce Sister Chu to her, but because she was always calculating me, I ignored her. In the past, the big sisters came, and when I met Sister Chu and Sister Li, I also helped the big sisters introduce them, and they were still talking together. Sister Chu said that the big sister was Sven. Today, the eldest sister mentioned it vaguely in her words, and when she heard it to the third sister, the third sister's face was black at that time, and she must have been angry in her heart I only introduced the eldest sister to them, not to her. When she returned home, she didn't know what to say to her second aunt. ”

"My mother is a heart that hurts her niece, and she is worried that the third cousin will calculate for Sister Luan. It's just that the second aunt and the third cousin are the mother and daughter, and the second aunt has some disagreements with our family for a long time. If the mother wants to mention Sister Luan's matter, don't mention it now, just mention it later. Zhao Changqing said, "Now that I mention it, I let the second aunt misunderstand my mother's kindness." The third cousin can come over if she wants to, she always blames me for not carrying her, and when she comes, she will know the truth. ”

Ling said, "When your second uncle got married, your grandmother didn't like your second uncle's family, and there was no one in the family who understood. This mother has no mind, and she has mistaken your three cousins. "Sister-in-law's natural enemy, the Ling family finally attributed the unreliability of Third Sister Ling to Second Mrs. Ling. Of course, in the same way, her daughter's outstanding, of course, is her credit, Ling took her head very unceremoniously, and told Zhao Changqing, "Although your third cousin's temperament is not likable, don't embarrass her tomorrow, our family of relatives, even if you look at your uncle and cousin's face, you have to take care of her." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Where did my mother go, this is my birthday, it has to be lively, something really happened, it's still our family that has no face." I mean, the third cousin came wishfully, and there will be many guests tomorrow, but I can't take care of her, for fear that she will be left out in the cold. ”

Ling Shi waved his hand, "You don't care about this, she has to come by herself, she doesn't know anyone, you can help her introduce her." The rest, it's up to her. She has the ability to make friends; If it's not this piece of material, don't force it. After Zhao Changqing fainted, the Ling family's heart for Ling Sanjie gradually faded. The Ling family is not a fool, in fact, the best social occasion is not Zhao Changqing's birthday, how many people does Zhao Changqing know? There are only three or five people who are really acquainted. The best social occasion is actually Mrs. Zhu's birthday banquet, and Third Sister Ling follows them to Zhu's house every year to celebrate her birthday. Third Sister Ruoling is really a smart person, she has already met a good friend, but she only has a relationship with someone like Zhang Fengluan. In this way, he was still bent on the truth, and the Ling family didn't know what to say to this niece.

After two lifetimes of contacts, Zhao Changqing really saw through Third Sister Ling.

Now that Zhao Yong has been promoted to 100 households, Mrs. Ling's attitude towards the Zhao family has changed 180 degrees, and when she saw her daughter coming back, Mrs. Ling asked with a smile, "Miss Qing's birthday is still lively, who have you invited?" ”

Ling Teng had just come home and was washing his face, took the soft cloth towel handed by the girl to wipe his hands and face, and smiled, "It must be lively." ”

Third Sister Ling said, "Sister Qing invited the eldest sister, the second sister, the fourth sister, and me, and her neighbor's little pear flower sister and brother, which was very lively." Lunch is also good, the soup of Shou Mian is boiled in old chicken soup, and the taste is very good. ”

"Especially my sister Qing wore a peach-colored skirt today, I look like a leno material, light and light. It is paired with a white undergarment, and the undergarment is embroidered with a petal of peach blossoms, not to mention how beautiful it is. Despite her sour tone, Third Sister Ling was still very envious.

Second Mrs. Ling said with sincere emotion, "Your aunt's family is considered to be developed. "This sister-in-law is really lucky, she was favored by her in-laws when she was at home, she was originally just married to a military household, but Zhao Yong rose all the way, and now she is a hundred households.

Ling Teng smiled, "Mother, don't be in a hurry to envy your aunt, when your son comes out, she will earn a life for her mother." ”

Second Mrs. Ling was very happy, her eyes were crooked with a smile, she looked at her son's handsome face with satisfaction, and said, "I'm counting on you." ”

Ling Teng asked, "Did you give my gift to Sister Qing?" ”

"How can you not give it, Sister Qing said thank you for thinking." Third Sister Ling said, "Sister Qing, please ask me to come back tomorrow." ”

Second Mrs. Ling was puzzled, "Today is her birthday, what are you going to do tomorrow?" ”

Telling this kind of lie, Third Sister Ling was also a little embarrassed, and said, "Sister Qing has a lot of friends, so I will invite you for two days, one day for relatives and one day for friends." ”

"What did you do then?" Second Mrs. Ling asked.

Third Sister Ling really couldn't make up the words that she was close to Zhao Changqing, so she only said vaguely, "Tomorrow, Sister Qing will invite all close friends, Sister Rong is still young, where can she take care of her alone, ask me to help her take care of it." ”

Ling Teng felt that something was wrong when she heard it, and said, "I'm afraid it's not just close friends, the high-ranking ladies she knows will probably be invited tomorrow." Sister Qing is a calculating person, you have a general relationship with her, she can't call you over, what are you going to do? ”

Third Sister Ling really couldn't do anything, so she told the truth. Second Mrs. Ling didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her daughter, but she was displeased, "Miss Qing is good at everything, it's the same, and it's snobbish!" Why, poor relatives put one day, rich friends put another day? Do you want to be treated differently like this? Don't you go, but follow as if you're in a hurry. "I know those friends, but I don't introduce them to my cousins, and Mrs. Ling is not angry when she thinks about it. A few days ago, she had already talked to her husband in private, Zhao Changqing, this girl is a little ghost, and she became good friends with the girl in the General's Mansion at a young age. This year, Zhao Yong has risen to 100 households, and it is impossible to say that this official is related to the General's Mansion.

Of course, Mrs. Ling's second wife's vinegar is also white vinegar, especially when Zhao Yong was promoted, she didn't dare to offend the Zhao family.

However, today made her more angry.

Ling Teng said in a deep voice, "Mother doesn't need to say such things, how can you invite them together?" It's not a kind of person, we are used to it at home, and there are many rules for rich and noble people. Even the birthday of the old lady of the Zhu family is also invited separately, and different people sit at different tables during the banquet, which is a self-imposed rule, and it has nothing to do with snobbery. Mother thought about it, and her sister was not suitable in the past. I don't know each other, I have to make friends with people, it's not a business to catch up, why bother to make up this fun, I'm afraid it's boring to make it around. ”

"Also, that Zhang Fengluan is not very kind, and my sister rarely interacts with her." Ling Teng said, "Big sister, second sister, fourth sister, plus sister, these are all relatives of the family, how can Sister Qing despise her own relatives." It's just that you're worried that you're not comfortable in one place. Sister Qing had already posted a post to her sister, didn't Zhang Fengluan know that her sister went out today, and she came over early, just to beat Sister Qing's idea. She is using her sister as a ladder, thinking that by taking advantage of her sister's birthday, she will meet some of the ladies. Sister don't fall for her! I will have less contact with her in the future! ”

"Look at what you said, I have always been good friends with Sister Luan, and she is definitely not such a person. She was dragged by her grandmother yesterday, and she really had nowhere to go, so she just came to talk to me today, and she had no other intentions. Third Sister Ling also defended Zhang Fengluan a few words.

Ling Teng sneered, "Sister, don't be stupid, that Zhang family is also a scholarly family, could it be that she doesn't even understand the rules of being a guest, and people haven't invited her at all, so how can she come to the door by herself?" Now that you're gone, you should stay honestly, and you'll be there tomorrow? Love treats others as fools, she just uses her sister to cling. ”

Third Sister Ling said angrily, "Don't always say to Zhao Changqing, who doesn't know that she has many friends, I wanted to ask her to help me introduce a few friends to each other, but she pushed left and right, and there was no truth." Who knew that she had already helped her big sister introduce them, the same cousins, and she was also eccentric. ”

Second Mrs. Ling raised her eyebrows, "There is such a thing!" ”

"No, I heard what my big sister said today." Third Sister Ling was also indignant.

Second Mrs. Ling saw that there was an outbreak, Ling Teng pressed her mother's hand and sighed, "Mother, think about it, my sister has this thought, and she should have befriended her sister a long time ago, but you see what she did." He said to Third Sister Ling, "You have a mediocre relationship with her, how can you blame her for not helping you introduce you." You said that Sister Qing is biased towards the big sisters, have you thought about it, every year at Mrs. Zhu's birthday banquet, you still go with your aunt's house, they are all sisters, big sisters, have they been there once? ”

Ling Teng said, "In the past, my aunt's family was not much stronger than ours, and my uncle was just a general banner. You went to Zhu's house with Sister Qing to attend the birthday banquet, and you are the girl from General Chu's family that you particularly envy, and you met Sister Qing at the birthday banquet of Mrs. Zhu. You've been there for a few years, if you're smarter, you stay by Sister Qing's side, then, the people she knows, you can naturally know them, where will she introduce you to know? However, you are always competing with her, and you are asking for her, think about it yourself, if you change the two of you, will you help her introduce you? ”

"My sister is like a year old, and the eldest sister's family affairs are about to be settled, and then the second sister will be the second sister, and in another three or two years, it will be my sister's turn." Ling Teng said softly, "Sister, don't always think about making friends with those ladies, it's useless to make friends, you have time to play with the big sisters and them, go to see your grandfather and grandmother, and do some needlework for the elderly, which is also your filial piety." ”

"Needless to say, the eldest sister is guarding her grandfather and grandmother, the eldest sister is gentle and obedient, and often does needlework to honor her grandfather and grandmother. Even when Sister Qing went with her aunt, she often had needlework and filial piety. These things should not be said by others, I see that my sister is always busy outside, but she neglects the family. Ling Teng sighed, "It's just that my sister has always been on bad terms with my sister, and she doesn't have a good temper with you, but we are my aunt's uncle, if there is something wrong, will my aunt's family sit idly by?" You are good with Zhang Fengluan, think about it, if you have something, can she help you, or will Sister Qing help you. I don't need to say how far or near this is, my sister should also understand. ”

Ling Teng is known for her eloquence, even if Third Sister Ling is not convinced, when she tells Ling Teng this, Third Sister Ling's mind is also a little relaxed, and she mutters, "I just can't get used to her snobbery." ”

Ling Teng waved his hand, "Don't always say that others are snobbish, if my sister is not snobbish, what will you do tomorrow?" ”

Third Sister Ling choked her younger brother and said angrily, "If you don't go, you won't go, it's done!" You've never stopped speaking for that girl! ”

Ling Teng said sarcastically, "Yes, you are not my own sister, I went to favor my uncle's cousin." After speaking, he ignored Third Sister Ling, and got up and went into the house by himself. Second Mrs. Ling has always relied on this son, and patted her daughter's arm gently, "You, just don't forgive people with one mouth, your brother is not for your good." I think Sister Luan's girl is also a little inauthentic. If you don't go tomorrow, she will ask her to go by herself if she wants to, and always take you with you. My silly girl, I'm using you as a gunman. ”

Third Sister Ling was silent for a long time and said, "Sister Luan is very sad at home, and her eldest lady looks down on her." ”

Second Mrs. Ling sneered, "Raised by my aunt, do you still want to be comparable to the sisters in the main house!" She's dreaming during the day! "Xun Ling Third Sister again, "You don't say this kind of thing in the future, it's a joke!" There are no concubines in our family, but you should also know the clear truth of the difference between the Tao and the Tao! Whose concubine can climb to the head of the main room! Raised by a little wife, it's a thing that is inherently inferior! It's not good now, complain about her mother, what is not good, I want to be small! ”

Zhang Fengluan obviously gave Ling Sanjie a preventive vaccination, Ling Sanjie said, "Sister Luan's mother is also helpless, originally her mother was the niece of her old lady's sibling sister's family, and it was also a hard life, she married early, and she was widowed within two years, and her mother's family was already ruined. There is no way, at that time, Sister Luan's father had already married a wife, and her mother was a child, in fact, she was the same as her eldest mother at home. ”

"Listen, what kind of person is this, the Zhang family still has the face to claim to be a scholarly family, and blame Sister Luan's scheming girl!" Second Mrs. Ling has a shrewd temperament, but she herself is a flat-headed main room, so naturally she can't see these concubines in the room. Second Mrs. Ling said, "Don't have any more dealings with that Sister Luan in the future!" Don't go to your aunt's house tomorrow, your brother is right, it's not a deal. In the past, you and the girl were a little discordant, but now that your uncle has been promoted to a hundred households, you should have a good relationship with her the most, don't rush to make her unhappy. ”

Second Mrs. Ling gave her daughter a hairpin in her hair, and said, "We are relatives, I am afraid of the cow temper of the girl, so don't come with him, otherwise, if something really happens, it will depend on you." Your eldest sister is going to get married, you go over and talk to her tomorrow, don't be with that sister Luan anymore. "In recent years, the relationship between the big house and the second room has also eased a lot.

Third Sister Ling had no choice but to respond.

Second Mrs. Ling called Sister Yahuan Fu in again, and said, "Go and put a basket of mulberries you got today and send them to Mrs. Gu's house, and tell Mrs. Gu that the third sister is a sincere person, and today Miss Zhang wants to go with the third sister alive or dead, and the third sister is kind-hearted, so she took her there." Today, the third sister went to congratulate the Qing girl's birthday, and tomorrow the third sister went to greet her grandparents, so she won't go. ”

The rich sister hurriedly went, and brought back four packs of snacks in the evening, and the rich sister replied, "Mrs. Gu said, our eldest girl is going to ask her grandparents to say goodbye, naturally this is important, Miss Qing also asked our eldest girl to ask the old lady to say goodbye to the old lady on her behalf, saying that in the future, our girl will be free, just go over and laugh, and the sisters will be affectionate." Please try these snacks for my wife, uncle and girl. ”

Second Mrs. Ling smiled, "It must be left over from Changqing's birthday banquet." Take a look, it was an unopened dim sum bag, tied tightly outside, and Mrs. Ling Er changed her words again, "It's Nanxiangyuan's dim sum, it's all fresh, your aunt's mind, open two packs and try it." He also said that the rich sister, "Put a plate and send it to Brother Teng first." ”

Zhao family.

Ling smiled and said to Zhao Changqing, "It's rare for your second aunt to understand once. ”

"Needless to say, it must have been persuaded by Cousin Teng."
