After Shopkeeper Li left, Ling asked Zhao Changqing, "What did you say to Shopkeeper Li?" ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Doing business." ”

"He's going to the West to do business, what kind of business can he do with you." Thinking of his own shop, Ling Shi was worried, "Even a big business like Shopkeeper Li is going to close down, and we don't know what to do with our shop next year?" ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Since you are not allowed to trade with the West, you can buy some materials for home-style wear and do business slowly." Food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, people must always wear clothes. Business may be worse, as long as you don't lose money. ”

Ling sighed and cheered up, "Anyway, your father's official is here, and our family doesn't have to worry about food and clothing." Then he asked, "What kind of business do you do with Shopkeeper Li, isn't it selling steamed buns?" ”

"It's not a bun, it's a seasoning powder I made with my husband a few days ago, and I want to sell this."

"This can sell for a few bucks." Ling disagreed, and said, "If you want to sell this, we can sell it ourselves." ”

Zhao Changqing sent Yahuan down to explain to the Ling family, "The last time the bun shop was calculated, the root cause is still our family's shallow foundation, and as soon as Daddy's official was demoted, he immediately made a red shot." I've been thinking about it these days, and if I want to start a business, I can't do it without a backer. Mother also heard from the shopkeeper Li that Miss Song was named the county king, and even Lord Song was also named a viscount, this backer is hard enough, and no one dares to stretch out his hand when the business is done in the future. There is one more thing, our family and the Song family are easy to have these connections, if we can do business, the two families are constantly fighting, and it doesn't hurt to be familiar, my mother said yes? ”

Ling Shi smirked, "Your father and I are both masters of the same intestines, and I don't know how to give birth to such a clever ghost as you!" ”

Zhao Changqing advised, "I only told my mother about this, and my mother told my father." Don't talk about it among relatives, otherwise Shopkeeper Li will be too worried when he hears us shouting everywhere. Start the business quietly and make friends first, and the benefits will naturally be there. ”

"I know that." Ling Shi was relieved, "In the future, Ah Ning has half of your cleverness, so I won't worry about him living." ”

Zhao Changqing said, "I'm just doing some small business, Ah Ning will be a person who will take the martial arts exam in the future, knowing that the crops are hard, it's enough not to cheat people in the future." Don't ask him to worry about these trivial matters, he can really get one or two merits in the future, and the dignity of the family. ”

Ling nodded, "That's true. ”

When her husband came home in the evening, Ling told her husband about the matter secretly, and Zhao Yong said, "This business is done." ”

Ling said, "Our girl is really clever, whether she makes money or not, she can do it." The Ling family didn't take Zhao Changqing's business seriously, what she valued more was that she could indirectly have a relationship with Song Shilang's family. As Zhao Changqing said, it is good to make a living, and it will not be of great use in the future. As her mother-in-law said to her, Mrs. Zhu's investment in Mr. Peng is really a typical example of great success. Ling's ambition is not big, she didn't expect her husband to have the achievements of Uncle Zhu's three-grade household servant, if she can ask her husband to be a thousand households in the future, Ling's will be satisfied. Fantasizing about the beautiful life of the thousands of wives in the future, the Ling family was quite satisfied and laughed out loud.

There was nothing to say about the Double Ninth Festival, but the Yuan family and the Ling family inquired about Zhao Changqing's family affairs, and praised how his nephew was born. The Ling family would not respond in one bite, and made an argument with Zhao Yong, but only said that he would go back to discuss. Yuan Shi looked confident, "Go back with my sister to inquire, it's not that I'm boasting, that kid is indeed excellent, otherwise I wouldn't be able to open this mouth." ”

Ling smiled, "What my sister-in-law said, naturally it's not bad." ”

After Zhao Changqing and Zhu Xi and Zhu Cicada came back from seeing the chrysanthemums in the garden, Yuan quipped, "Changqing, you are old now, what kind of in-laws do you want to talk about, do you have an idea?" ”

Zhao Changqing was slightly stunned, came back to his senses, there was no shame on his face, and only said, "As long as you have a good character and are of the same age, you can be determined not to accept concubines." ”

Ling Shi smiled, "Look at this girl, don't talk like this." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled lightly, "Just now, Aunt Yuan specially supported me to go out to see the flowers, I think she came to tell me about my mother-in-law's family, I don't know which one I was talking about?" ”

Yuan smiled, "It's not an outsider, my nephew, I don't know if you're still willing?" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "If you are willing or not, the eldest aunt will sincerely talk to the matchmaker, and I will also give the eldest aunt a quasi-word, I have to go back and inquire about one or two." Even the eldest aunt's family didn't inquire about me. If this matter is successful, it is the fate of the two families, if it is not successful, it is not this fate, don't be angry when the aunt arrives. ”

"Look at what you say." Zhao Changqing said it like this, and Yuan was a little unhappy in his heart, and smiled, "Our Changqing is generous, and people also have ideas." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "The girls in our border city are not as cumbersome as the Central Plains, and they have never said anything." If I shrink back and don't have an opinion, you can't look at me well, uncle. ”

Everyone laughed and laughed, and after eating at noon, the Zhao family said goodbye. Yuan complained to her husband at night, "The daughter of a small hundred families wants the male family not to take concubines before she is willing to marry!" I'm afraid even the princess of the emperor doesn't have such a big breath! ”

Zhu Mingtang said, "What's wrong?" The family affair did not work out. ”

"The Zhao family hasn't said it yet, I guess it won't work. When Brother Tong reached his age, my mother gave him two girls! Yuan's face was gloomy, "Don't say she's unhappy, even if my mother hears that the daughter of the Zhao family is so jealous, she can't be happy!" ”

Zhu Mingtang didn't take it to heart, and said, "If you're not happy, you're not happy, what's a big deal." ”

Yuan glanced at her husband, "You don't know how big the girl is today, when I told her mother about my family, I specially supported her to go out to the garden to enjoy the flowers." That girl is a ghost and a ghost, I have already guessed it, and when I came back from the garden, I asked me directly if I was kissing her, she was thick-skinned, rare in the world! It's so crazy that I don't know who my last name is! Who can stand such a daughter-in-law! It's good if it doesn't work! ”

Ling endured all the way, and only when he went home did he say Zhao Changqing, "Who taught you these boundless words?" Yes? Just think about it in your own heart, if you have something to say, you just say it to me, how can you say it outside? What do you think of you? ”

Zhao Changqing took a cup of tea and handed it to Ling, saying, "Mother drinks tea to dissipate her anger, what's not to say." Our family has a ready-made position, what is the fate of the second sister marrying the third child of the Xu family, saying that there is no concubine room now, but if it was not for Xu Laosan's indiscretion, the second sister could not have a miscarriage. What's more, where is it now, and the difficult days of the second sister are still to come. When I see my second sister like this, of course I have to say ugly things first. ”

"Mother thinks Uncle Yuan is so kind, what a high-minded and arrogant person she is, if her nephew is as she said, how can she tell our family. As soon as I said that I couldn't take a concubine, her face changed, I put the words here, and my mother didn't believe it, so I went to inquire about the family affairs she told me, and I couldn't say that this kid would have a concubine room now. Zhao Changqing said, "I'll say it first, and then I can speak when my mother refuses." ”

Ling took a sip of tea and sighed, "Then you shouldn't say anything about not taking concubines, but let others say that you are jealous." ”

Zhao Changqing said softly, "I don't want to marry a big family, as long as the character is good, it's nothing worse than our family, and whose life is not lived little by little." When my mother married my father, what did we have in our family? Until now, it is no worse than others. Daddy is also a six-grade official now, don't you usually socialize, and you don't see Daddy so you take a small one back. I don't want to have any wealth in the future, just like my mother and father in the future. ”

Ling's face turned red, and he scolded Bo, "It's getting more and more boundless, it's okay, let's go back to your house quickly, don't make me angry." ”

Ling Shi was worried with her husband at night, "What do you say?" Our daughter said that she didn't want to be rich, but how could I be willing to marry my daughter to a poor family. ”

"If you don't want to be rich, you don't have to marry a poor family." Zhao Yong said, "What the girl said is not bad, as long as the family background is acceptable, the key is to have a good character and know how to be motivated." The days pass slowly, and when the youth is poor, it is not called poor. It's right not to take concubines, we are used to living a simple life, such a day when there are groups of wives and concubines, no matter how rich and noble we are, in the end, it is better to live some ordinary days. Which family is sister-in-law Yuan talking about, I will ask someone to inquire. ”

Ling said to her husband, and Zhao Yong said, "There is no urgency about this, I will tell you after I inquire." Our daughters want to look good, and they want talents, but they are worried about getting married? ”

Ling smiled, "When I went back to my parents' house before the Double Ninth Festival, my mother had something to tell me. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Aten's family business." Ling and her husband said, "Ah Teng is going to take the Xiucai exam next year, I look at my mother like that, it seems that she intends for us to be Changqing." ”

Zhao Yong frowned, "Ah Teng himself didn't say it, the child is also sensible, and he comes to greet us every month." It's just that there are two things that make people feel uneasy, one is that Ateng's mother is too difficult, I don't think Changqing likes his second aunt either, is it easy to be a daughter-in-law for such a mother-in-law? No need to say it to others, just look at the second sister's in-law's family, that is the eldest aunt, Mrs. Xu's reputation in the past is much better than that of Ateng and his mother, what is the result now? Second, it's a bit stingy to say this, but Changqing is our daughter, and I have to say it. The eldest brother has no children, Ah Teng will be a contemporaneous in the future, and it will be hard enough to serve the in-laws in one room, so how hard it will be to ask Changqing to serve the in-laws in the two rooms in the future. ”

Ling sighed, "I've thought about these things too, and what my mother said is really sincere. Mother's words also make sense, although Ah Teng wants to have both, but for the sake of the long house, there will be a son in the future, and after a hundred years of the long house, he will give the long house an heir and a grandson to have a person who burns paper. The eldest brother and sister-in-law have a house and land, and now the family is divided early, and they don't live together. Second, Ah Teng sees that he does have a future, and if he can earn a future in the future, it will not be a loss to Changqing. Three, I think Ah Teng is really attentive to Changqing, he will always come over as long as he is free. He categorically can't take a concubine. ”

Zhao Yong said, "Changqing is mediocre to Ah Teng. "I can't see intimacy at all.

Ling sighed, "After the Chu family's affairs, I know that she is also uncomfortable, but she just doesn't say it to make us worry." You don't know, she quietly bought a small courtyard that Chu Yu had set up before, often went there, and set up a tablet for the Chu family to worship in that courtyard. Ling burst into tears as he spoke, "After I know this, my heart is like a needle prick, and I can't sleep well for a few days." She is such a affectionate girl, you say, if you don't know the inside story, how can other people's families tolerate this. That's why I thought that I must find someone for her who knows the roots and knows how to be considerate of her. ”

Zhao Yong looked at his wife in tears, and sighed for a long time, "It's better to ask Changqing, it's better if she is willing." ”

"I know this, she's always assertive, and I've always asked her what she means."
