Chapter 134
Second Mrs. Ling only learned about Zhao Yong's demotion at the beginning of the month, and she was taken aback at the time and asked, "How is this possible?" Your uncle is the in-laws of the General's Mansion. ”
Ling Teng said, "The Chu family has already been escorted to the imperial capital by the family. ”
"It's not that you heard me wrong, are you?" Second Mrs. Ling almost jumped up, "I haven't heard anything about such a big thing!" ”
Where does the General's Mansion live, and where does the Ling family live? Even if it is close to the Zhao family, the Ling family does not know about Zhao Yong's debasement. Ling Teng said, "I heard that it is the secret decree of His Majesty. After all, General Chu is in a high position, and he is escorted to the imperial capital for trial, and if he makes a lot of noise in the border city, it is difficult to ensure that the army is unstable. "The army's unstable spirit or something, it is also Ling Teng's own guess.
Second Mrs. Ling is already a master of the six gods, "What about Changqing?" "At first, although she was very sour about Zhao Changqing's family affairs, after all, it is good for everyone to have the light of the General's Mansion, and now that the General's Mansion has fallen, Zhao Yong's official has also been reduced, which is really ......
Ling Teng said, "Auntie doesn't know how to be sad, when my mother is free, let's go and see my aunt as a family." ”
Second Mrs. Ling looked at her son, still wondering if the matter was true or false, and said, "Why haven't I heard the slightest rumor?" What happened to the slaves and servants of the Chu family? I haven't heard anyone selling people outside? "If it's a big family that is bad, it's lively enough when the population is sold, and Mrs. Ling often goes to see it. So she didn't know anything about the accident in the General's Mansion, and Second Mrs. Ling was deeply suspicious.
"I heard that General Chu knew that something bad was going to happen, so he returned the deeds of the slaves in the family to everyone in advance, and sent away the silver." Ling Teng said, "Now that the General's Mansion has been sealed, the matter is true. At first, he didn't believe it, and went to see it himself.
Second Mrs. Ling asked again, "Isn't it that General Chu still has a daughter who is married?" ”
Ling Teng sighed, "Under the nest, there are no eggs. Miss Chu was originally married to Liang Baihu, and it stands to reason that she can't even get involved in marrying a girl, but she just casually blames Liang Baihu, where can Miss Chu be spared. ”
Second Mrs. Ling stroked her chest and said, "My mother, fortunately, Changqing didn't marry. ”
"It's a bit snobbish, but it's true." Ling Teng said, "If Sister Qing really married into the Chu family, what should I do now?" My aunt and uncle are so distressed that even we are not having a good time. ”
Second Mrs. Ling sighed, "Originally, I said that Changqing was blessed, how could he be so unlucky." ”
Ling Teng said, "What's the use of saying this, I'm afraid Sister Qing is also very sad." I only hate myself for not being well-informed, and I only know now, otherwise I should have gone over to comfort her. ”
Seeing her son's enthusiasm, Second Mrs. Ling stared at her son for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Are you still not dead to Miss Qing?" ”
Ling Teng's face was slightly sudden, and he said, "What did Mother say about this?" My son is still young. ”
Thinking of her son's serious illness at the end of the previous year, Second Mrs. Ling sighed and said in a low voice, "If you are a niece, you can pass no matter what." It's not that I'm snobbish, now the Zhao family is not as good as before, your uncle can descend from a thousand households to the general banner in a few moments, and I don't know what to do in the future. ”
"What's next? My uncle is a soldier of the guard, not a defender of the border city, and now my uncle is just demoted. Ling Teng said, "What's wrong with my uncle, isn't it our relative?" Can we forget the benefits that my aunt gave us in the past? Mother, don't pick these things that you don't have, now my aunt will never mention my sister's family affairs, even if you mention it, it won't be done. ”
Second Mrs. Ling was provoked by her son, and immediately said, "What's wrong?" In the past, he had a hundred households, but we didn't deserve it? Isn't it worthy now? I think Changqing just didn't do the life of the young grandmother of the General's Mansion. ”
"I'll rest tomorrow, my mother will take care of some things, let's go see my aunt."
Second Mrs. Ling responded, and told her husband about the raid of the General's Mansion in the evening, Second Uncle Ling was also startled, and after listening to his wife's detailed explanation, Second Uncle Ling said, "Don't tell your father and mother about this for the time being." "The old man is old, if he knows that Changqing's family has such a bad affair, and Zhao Yong has been demoted one after another, he may not be able to stand it in his heart.
Second Mrs. Ling sighed, "Why do you say my sister's family is so unlucky." ”
Second Uncle Ling said, "Fortunately, Changqing is not married, and now the family house is safe, which is also a blessing in misfortune." What's more, my brother-in-law is young and has worked hard for a few years, so I am not afraid that there will be no chance of promotion. ”
Second Mrs. Ling said, "Now you don't know the way of this world, if you have money, you have to have people, and you can't do anything." ”
Second Uncle Ling's family went in the morning, Zhao Yong is now free, and even half of the entertainment is missing, fortunately, he is not bad on weekdays, but now he has been suddenly demoted, and most of the people who feel sorry for him are the majority. Because it was a day off, the children were all at home and came out to see the elders.
Second Uncle Ling went to talk to Zhao Yong, Second Mrs. Ling talked to the Ling family, Ling Teng and Zhao Changning went to Zhao Changning's house, and Zhao Changqing took Ling's third sister Zhao Rong to his house.
Ling Teng touched Zhao Changning's head and said, "You are the eldest son in the family, you have to learn to give relief to your parents at this time." ”
Zhao Changning's eyes were slightly red, "Brother Chu is such a good person, I am very uncomfortable, and my sister is also very uncomfortable." ”
Ling Teng said softly, "There is no difficulty in this world that cannot be overcome, just get through it, you have to comfort your parents and sisters, and you have to be more motivated, this is what a man should do." ”
Zhao Changning choked up.
Third Sister Ling looked at Zhao Changqing's house, Yongfu brought tea, Third Sister Ling took it, and sighed lightly, "I just heard my mother talk about my sister, it's really unexpected, it's a good family affair, it's really ...... Why is it so unfortunate? ”
When Zhao Rong heard this, she burst out laughing, this is really what Third Sister Ling would say.
Zhao Changqing ignored her.
Third Sister Ling endured it for a long time, but she couldn't hold back the indifferent smile at the corner of her eyebrows. used to say how Zhao Changqing was better than her, and she was not angry from the bottom of her heart when she thought of that! It's just the light of the Chu family, so what's going on now! Third Sister Ling smiled, "Sister, let's open it a little, think about it, fortunately, my sister didn't get married, otherwise what would happen now." That's all in misfortune. Fortunately, my sister didn't marry, and the Chu family should have a short life. ”
Zhao Changqing said coldly, "I heard that Mrs. Lin gave the ancestral jade bracelet to the third cousin, why haven't I seen the third cousin wear it?" ”
With this sentence, Ling Sanjie's color suddenly changed, and she hurriedly covered it up, "That's a valuable object, it's good to wear it properly." Besides, I'm impatient to wear those hairpin rings and jade chuan, our girls' family should still take the hairpin cloth skirt as the beauty. ”
Zhao Changqing's eyes were scorching, and when he saw that Third Sister Ling had a weak face, he had already counted it in his heart, and said, "It's the first time I know that Third Cousin is a beautiful person with a Jing Hai cloth skirt." It's a shame that I still have a few good horses and want to add makeup to my third cousin, but now it seems that it's just that. ”
Third Sister Ling's face was embarrassed, and she felt speechless.
Zhao Rong cleverly said, "What you don't give is my sister's intention, and no one can be stronger." If you want me to say, the eldest cousin has always been gentle and frugal, and the elder sister is different from the eldest cousin. My sister is just joking with my third cousin, and my cousin should not be serious. ”
Third Sister Ling smiled and smiled, but Zhao Changqing refused to let the two of them take advantage of the situation and sneered, "Jokes or not jokes, the things are mine, and naturally I am in charge." I'm worried about the jade bracelet of the third cousin, I only heard its name and didn't see its face, I don't know if it was broken and broken? Seeing that Ling Sanjie's face changed greatly, Zhao Changqing smiled coldly and said, "Look at me, I'm in a bad mood, and what I say is not pleasant." Saying that, he grabbed Third Sister Ling's hand, and Zhao Changqing smiled brightly, "Third cousin, don't worry, even if you are not careful, even if we know about this matter, we can only help my sister hide it." I won't say it to the outside, Ah Rong, will you publicize it to your third cousin? ”
Zhao Rong was greatly embarrassed, and hated Zhao Changqing even more in her heart, but she could only say, "How could it be." ”
"No, it's for the best." Zhao Changqing looked at Third Sister Ling's bracelet and said, "Third cousin, this bracelet is really beautiful, this is just gold, I'm not afraid of smashing it, I'm not afraid of falling, and it's safe to wear, right?" ”
Third Sister Ling didn't have the schadenfreude she had earlier, her face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and asked, "Sister, is this a threat to me?" ”
"What is the truth? What did I threaten my cousin for? My cousin came to see me so kindly and persuaded me with kindness, and I can't thank my cousin enough. Zhao Changqing hooked the corners of his lips, "It's a pity for my cousin, Mrs. Lin's bracelet, I heard that it has been passed down for thousands of eight hundred years, and when Lin Gongzi was so anxious to sell his land, he didn't become the ancestral treasure." It's okay, don't worry about the third cousin, as the saying goes, the jade is broken, this is a good sign, a good omen. I look forward to the third cousin getting married next year, and the husband and wife will be harmonious, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will be harmonious. ”
"I'm not blessed, Lin Gongzi is blessed, otherwise how could I marry my third cousin. With my cousin's appearance and temperament, the unblessed can't afford it. Zhao Changqing smiled at the corner of his lips and his eyes were cold, "With Lin Gongzi's talent, I can't say that in a year or two, I will earn a life for my cousin in the gold list, and in the future, my cousin will have no good bracelets, gold, jade, jade, agate, what do you want, where do you care about an ancestral jade bracelet, right?" ”
Third Sister Ling's face was swollen and red, which made Zhao Changqing ashamed and angry, and her eyes were about to erupt with fire.
Zhao Changqing gracefully picked up the tea, took a sip slowly, and said, "It's still so clean and clean." In the past few days, my heart has not been smooth, and I have been crowing for a long time in the morning, and now it is quiet. ”
Third Sister Ling was annoyed, her hands trembled, but she didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that Zhao Changqing would poke out the matter of her jade bracelet.
Seeing Third Sister Ling's appearance, Zhao Rong smiled at Zhao Changqing and said, "I see that my sister looks a little tired, why don't you ask my third cousin to sit in my house for a while." ”
"Where will I be tired, as soon as I see my third cousin, it is like eating ginseng fruit, and my whole spirit is better." Zhao Changqing smiled, "I have good tea and snacks here, so the sisters just have to sit." ”
What is called sitting on pins and needles.
Third Sister Ling can be regarded as having a tangible experience.
When it came to lunch, Zhao Changqing took Ling Sanjie's hand and went out affectionately, and Ling Erjie smiled and said to Ling, "The little sisters are becoming more and more harmonious. "Looking at the appearance, I know that my daughter's appearance today is not bad, and Mrs. Ling is quite pleased.
Without waiting for the Ling clan to speak, Zhao Changqing said, "Isn't it." My aunt didn't know, thanks to the kind words that the third cousin persuaded me, the third cousin said that the Chu family's life should be short. ”
The Ling family was immediately displeased, and Second Mrs. Ling laughed dryly, "Yes, it's all the Chu family's bad fate, and the niece wants to open it." ”
Zhao Changqing smiled more and more, "Because of the third cousin's persuasion of me for this kind word, I am very grateful in my heart, and I also persuaded the third cousin to say that although I dropped the ancestral bracelet that Mrs. Lin gave her, there is no need to be too sad, maybe this bracelet is not good." ”
"Mother-" Third Sister Ling shouted, tears falling down.
Zhao Changqing hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "Seeing that the third cousin is in a hurry, it can be seen that she really likes the bracelet, it doesn't matter, this is that the bracelet has nothing to do with you." It's just an object, so why bother with it. ”
Second Mrs. Ling was startled for a moment, then she reacted, and hurriedly asked, "Miss Qing, how do you know-"
Zhao Changqing pursed his lips and smiled, innocent and innocent, "It's when the third cousin is married, I see that the third cousin didn't wear the bracelet that Mrs. Lin gave her, so I guessed it." It's just that I haven't said it, but now that my third cousin is so considerate of me, our sisterhood is deep and meaningful, what else can't be said. Even my aunt isn't an outsider, right? ”
Second Mrs. Ling's face ......
Zhao Changqing got up, walked to Mrs. Ling's second wife, and said with a smile, "These days, my family has been doing a lot of things, and I am busy in the next year, so I didn't go to my uncle and aunt to say goodbye." Now my aunt and uncle know that something happened to my family and came to see us, and I am very grateful. We have two families, my mother and my second uncle are brothers and sisters of the same mother, and we are cousins and cousins, and we are also uncles and cousins of our in-laws. I'm really happy in my heart today, as the saying goes, aunt cousin, break bones and tendons. Who is in our family, isn't it our brothers and sisters? ”
"Today, my cousin came and persuaded me, and I also know that my cousin is sincere to me, but in front of my uncle and aunt, father, mother, cousin, sister, A-Ning, A-Yu, I still have to say a fair word. Although the Chu family is bad, we can't control the affairs of the imperial court, and we don't know it. But I thought about it, the Chu family has no fault for my family, and now that his family has failed, my family affairs are over. But there will always be a public opinion on right and wrong, and people have accounts in their hearts, even in my family, I can't say that the Chu family should have a short life. If nothing else, people can't live without conscience. Zhao Changqing said, "Long before the Chu family's accident, my Geng post was returned. When something happened to his family, he didn't want to affect my family at all. What's more, I did take a lot of care of my family before, and I can't hide this from others, and I don't have to hide it. Therefore, now whoever says that the Chu family is not good, my family can't say it, but anyone who says a word is ungrateful. If the Chu family treated my family so thoughtfully first, my family would repay virtue with grievances, asking who would dare to deal with my family in the future? Even uncles and aunts must not want to be relatives with such a red and white family. ”
"Also, since my uncle and aunt are here today, and they care about us so much, I will also give my uncle and aunt a quasi-letter, and the matter of the Chu family will end here. My family can no longer stand the involvement of the Chu family. It's my father, although the official has come down now, but this officialdom has not been smooth sailing, who can really go all the way? There are ups and downs, officialdom is normal. Today, my family is like this, and in the future, when my cousin wins the imperial examination and becomes an official, I hope that my cousin will also be indomitable, persevering, and eventually become a great weapon. ”
She didn't need these inconsistent, gloating people to persuade and comfort! When Chu Yu was there, they were together. Chu Yu is gone, and she will not forget him in this life!
