Since the Zhu family came back, the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony has come to an end for the time being, and Zhao Changqing has resumed his daily routine of attending classes every day.

Unexpectedly, Ling's second uncle's family visited and sent a Mid-Autumn Festival gift.

After greeting Mrs. Zhao, the group went to the main courtyard of the Ling family, and Mrs. Ling laughed loudly, "Sister, don't dislike simplicity, let's separate the family in the first year, just some dirt to eat." ”

Ling smiled, "What does the second sister-in-law say, she is not an outsider, if the second sister-in-law has a tight life, she still has to make any Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony, that is, she treats me as an outsider, how can I feel good in my heart?" If it's rude to walk around, we're not close? The second sister-in-law saw this outside, I can't accept this thing. "The Ling family is never easy to mess with, I don't think Mrs. Ling is used to yin and yang, as a sister-in-law, the Ling family has never been used to her stinky problems, so I want Mrs. Ling to carry things back immediately.

Second Mrs. Ling took a breath and said with a smile, "I can't speak, but I tell my sister to be more hearty." That's not the first time I've dealt with these trivialities since the separation, for fear that something will be lost, my sister don't blame me. "Zhao Changqing went that day, and Second Mrs. Ling persuaded her son for a long time, and she also came out with a good deal of good and bad. Especially when the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, since Zhao Changqing left, no one from the Zhao family has been there, and there is no intention of going to the Mid-Autumn Festival with his family at all. Mrs. Ling's second wife is also strange in her heart, how many years has she been with Ling's sister-in-law, and she also knows the temper of her sister-in-law, and it is not easy to get along when she is angry, she really provokes Ling's family, and she can't get it well. So, this party took the initiative to give Zhao Jialing a Mid-Autumn Festival Elixir.

Ling smiled at this, "The second brother and sister-in-law don't know that my family is simple, and I am happy to remember my younger sister." ”

Second Mrs. Ling smiled, "I want to come every day, but I'm afraid that my sister will be annoying." ”

Ling Shi was too lazy to take Mrs. Ling's words, she looked at Ling Teng's neat royal blue silk robe, with an inch-wide soap-colored belt around his waist, and soap-colored boots under his waist. Ling Shi smiled and asked, "Is Brother Teng resting today?" I heard your sister say that you have now changed to a new master to teach, and you have gone to study in a better class, and your homework is okay? Is it difficult? ”

Ling Teng nodded, "Because my nephew learned some Mongolian studies first, Mr. asked my nephew to study in the summer class after taking the exam." Now the homework is still shallow, but the nephew is still at ease. ”

Ling smiled, "That's good." Then he asked, "Have you ever been to see your grandfather?" ”

Ling Teng said, "My nephew often goes, and my grandfather will leave me to do my homework." If I don't understand something, my grandfather will explain it to me. "Second Uncle Ling's house is also a strange scene, the husband and wife and Uncle Ling's family are simply a sign of incompatibility, but Ling Teng is in contact with the uncle's family as usual.

"What a good boy, your grandfather loves you the most, and when he has time, he will go to see the old man more, he thinks about you in his heart." Ling said.

Ling Teng responded obediently.

When Third Sister Ling saw Zhao Changqing helping Zhao Changning play, she couldn't help asking, "Auntie, why don't you see Sister Rong?" ”

Ling smiled, "Sister Rong is in the cubicle." ”

Third Sister Ling said, "Then I'll go and see her." He asked again, "Ah Teng, do you want to come with me to see Sister Rong." ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Sister Rong can't see a man with a foreign surname now, cousin, let's go and play in my house in a while." ”

Second Mrs. Ling didn't come to Zhao's house for a long time, and she didn't know why, so she hurriedly asked what it was.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Before my mother gave birth to Sister Rong's son, she had a dream on the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and she dreamed of a pool of hibiscus flowers, which bloomed beautifully. Sister Rong was born with the birthmark of hibiscus flowers, which shows that she is not an ordinary child. Later, my father and I went to Ping'an Temple to tell Sister Rong'er's fortunes, and even the senior monks of Ping'an Temple said that Sister Rong had some origins and couldn't be taken lightly. If you can't see a man with a foreign surname before the first birthday, it is also what the master said, who knows what the reason for the Tao is? It's better to believe it than to believe it. ”

Second Mrs. Ling sighed, "It turns out that Sister Rong has such a strange origin. ”

Ling was very satisfied with what Zhao Changqing said, and smiled, "It's a coincidence." However, the master has said that you must always obey it. ”

"That's right." Ling's people are spicy, but they believe in the way of God and Buddha, "The incense in Ping'an Temple is the most spiritual, I have to take their sisters and brothers to burn incense every year, and they will be safe and sound every year." ”

Zhao Changqing is happy to say good things about Zhao Rong in front of the Ling family's mother and son, if Zhao Rong is still interested in this life, why not fulfill Zhao Rong? The so-called honey of mine and arsenic of the other, the Ling family is a big fire pit in Zhao Changqing's eyes, or Yu Zhao Rong said that it is a honey pit. What's more, how much did Ling Teng and Zhao Rong appreciate and love in their previous lives...... Now it seems that Zhao Changqing really feels that they are indeed the most suitable match, from appearance to character.

Zhao Changqing really let go, Mr. Su made her see the world outside, and let her understand that as long as she studied hard and lived a life, she was never worse than Zhao Rong.

She's just that, in her previous life, she never had the opportunity to learn.

This is true from dealing with people to reading and learning words.

There was never anyone to guide her.

Because he has nothing, he envies Zhao Rong who has everything.

It's a pity, it's just a lifetime of chaos and grievances.

For a while, Third Sister Ling came out, her eyebrows fluttering, and she said, "Auntie, mother, Sister Rong is obedient and has been smiling at me." She looks better than her sister. These words were definitely deliberately aimed at Zhao Changqing.

Zhao Changqing didn't care, and smiled, "Sister Rong is indeed beautiful, and she will definitely be a little beauty in the future." He also comforted Ling Teng, "Cousin Teng, don't worry, when you come to visit the New Year on the third day of the Lunar New Year, you can see the little beauty of our family." ”

Ling Teng made fun of her and said with a smile, "I don't believe there are any girls who are more beautiful than Sister Qing." ”

"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and a mountain is higher than a mountain." Zhao Changqing winked at Ling Teng, "Cousin Teng will definitely like her when he sees Sister Rong." ”

Ling Teng smiled, "It's all sisters, I like them all." However, I prefer Sister Qing. ”

Slut, it's strange that Zhao Rong was dead set on him in his last life! Zhao Changqing could already imagine how Ling Teng had spoken sweetly to Zhao Rong, she just smiled, "Second aunt often says that I can talk on weekdays, just look at Cousin Teng's mouth, you can know that there are people outside the Daoist people." ”

Third Sister Ling was dissatisfied, and said secretly: Ah Teng can say a fart thing, and when he saw Zhao Changqing, he smiled like a stupid eggplant, he has always grown the ambition of others and destroyed his own prestige!

Ling and Second Mrs. Ling were already amused by the children's smiles, and Ling smiled and said to Zhao Changqing, "Give me Brother Ning, you just moved to a new house, take your cousin and cousin over to have a look." They haven't seen your new house yet. ”

Third Sister Ling was very envious of Zhao Changqing's house.

The Zhao family is a junior in the courtyard, Zhao Changqing occupies two rooms alone, and she only has one room at home.

Moreover, Zhao Changqing's house is better cleaned up than hers. Although the furniture is also old elm, and it is impossible to say where it is good for a while, but Ling Sanjie just feels that this house is better than hers, and every flower and tree is different, and it seems that even the old peach tree outside Zhao Changqing's window whose leaves are about to fall is also extraordinarily energetic.

Liu Er brought the tea fruit, Ling Sanguo took a piece of mung bean cake, took a bite and said, "My sister's mung bean cake is delicious, it has the taste of milk, isn't it added with milk?" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "If there is leftover milk, let the kitchen try to make it, and my cousin likes it." Zhao Changning and Zhao Rong are getting older, and Ling's breast milk is not enough, so they buy outside milk every day and cook porridge and feed it, so as not to eat together. Zhao Changqing also followed suit.

Ling Teng first handed a piece of almond cake to Zhao Changqing, and he also took the almond cake to eat, and said with a smile, "My sister also raised Yueji flowers." ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Mr. gave me, this flower is easy to feed, two or three days to water back, the flowering period is long, the flowers are gorgeous, the fragrance is strong, it is the best to use it to smoke the house." ”

Ling Teng looked at a small pot of half-budding red moon season next to Zhao Changqing's bed, and smiled, "Yes, my sister's flower is well taken care of, and there are still flower buds, and they can still bloom again, and only the flower branches and leaves are left in my house, and I have to wait for next year to bloom again." ”

Third Sister Ling said, "Sister Qing, I also invited a gentleman at home." Despite her best restraint, Third Sister Ling also had a bit of uncontrollable show-off between her words.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Congratulations to the third sister." "Third Sister Ling, please don't ask Mr. to have anything to do with her, as long as she doesn't come to her house to study noisily.

Without waiting for Zhao Changqing to ask, Third Sister Ling said, "Is it the young grandmother of the Xin family in the past, the Xin family, and the younger sister of the Qing family?" Alas, speaking of which, his family is also a scholarly family, and the grandfather of the young master of the Xin family is the master of Jinshi, and he doesn't want this young master of the Xin family to be a loser, and his father and ancestor died of illness within a few years after his death. Grandma Xin had no children under her knees, and she was determined to keep the festival, so she came out to find a living. Like Qing's sister's husband, it is also a tael of silver a month, just food and shelter, and there is no need for clothes for all seasons. ”

Zhao Changqing had no choice but to cheer for Third Sister Ling, "That's really good, the gentleman my cousin found is more affordable." ”

"I said yes. It's just that studying is really expensive. Third Sister Ling was melancholy, "Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, everything is expensive, fortunately, my grandfather has a piano and chess, and he is willing to lend it to me." Just the paint for painting was bought, and it cost a tael of silver. The new clothes for this Mid-Autumn Festival are gone. ”

Zhao Changqing was amused in his heart, and explained the intention of the third sister Ling, "Why doesn't my cousin know how to be cheap?" I want to know that my grandfather has a piano, and I went to borrow it earlier, where will it be my cousin's turn? A piano, the cheapest outside, costs a dozen taels. Now he sighed for the two silver paints. ”

Seeing Zhao Changqing say this, Third Sister Ling's vanity was greatly satisfied, and she smiled, "I don't have new clothes to wear, of course I'm sad." Which one is like a sister, there is always a new dress. ”

Zhao Changqing had no choice but to say, "I'm just the ones who go out to meet guests, who still wears the golden wall at home." You see, I'm not an old dress yet. ”

Third Sister Ling smiled, "Actually, it's still an idea that Ah Teng came up with, otherwise, with my face, where can I borrow something from my grandfather?" ”

Ling Teng was really speechless for his sister's low-level show-off, and asked with a smile while flipping through a chess book, "Is Sister Qing also learning Go?" After eating snacks and drinking tea, Ling Teng wiped his hands and looked at the books on Zhao Changqing's shelf.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I just learned, but it's not good yet." ”

Third Sister Ling immediately became interested, "I'm also just learning, Sister Qing, why don't we play chess?" "People who have just learned chess are always very addicted to chess, and Zhao Changqing is often killed by Mr. Su without leaving a piece of armor, hiding his face and running away.

Zhao Changqing was not interested in Ling San, and said, "I'm not good." ”

Third Sister Ling was even more interested, "I'm not the same, don't grind, come, Sister Qing, let's have fun." ”

Zhao Changqing's heart moved, and he said with a smile, "That cousin let me do something, at least don't let me lose too ugly." ”

Third Sister Ling was simply overjoyed, "Zhilu Dao, Zhilu Dao, when will I not let you." Zhang Luo told Liu Er to get the chess pieces and chessboard.

In order to save money, Zhao Changqing bought the cheapest ceramic chess pieces, but it was fifty big dollars, and the store even sent a thick kraft paper with a chessboard drawn, so Zhao Changqing even saved the chess table. Spread out the chessboard directly, and the two of them started to play chess after guessing.

Zhao Changqing's chess skills are indeed clumsy, he always loses two games in three sets, Ling Sanjie wins and loses, and she loses less and wins more, and she is not happy. After a while, he said, "It's always like this to win or lose, and no lottery is bad." ”

Zhao Changqing said, "What else do you want, cousin, why don't you ask me to give it to you for nothing?" ”

Third Sister Ling said, "How can you say that it was given away for nothing, haven't you won?" As he spoke, he plucked the beaded flowers on his head and said, "My sister also takes one to make a color head, just for fun." ”

Zhao Changqing was only willing to pick a cluster of small silk flowers, and said repeatedly, "I can't bear to give up expensive things, cousin can also use the silk flowers on your head as a colorful head, the beads are valuable, cousin take them back." ”

Ling Teng also said, "Sister, what Sister Qing said is this, it's just a joke. ”

Third Sister Ling had no choice but to change the silk flower to gamble with Zhao Changqing, muttering, "I've never seen such a stingy person like you again." Because of the lottery, Third Sister Ling even came up with a twelve-point approach, and Zhao Changqing also paid special attention, as a result, it was still Third Sister Ling who won the game, and Zhao Changqing's silk flower returned to Third Sister Ling.

Zhao Changqing said, "Okay, okay, my cousin won my flowers, forget it." ”

"No, I came to you as a guest, why don't you make me happy." Third Sister Ling smiled, "Sister's double flat bun, isn't there a cluster of silk flowers, come, let's continue to play." ”

Zhao Changqing didn't seem very happy, but Third Sister Ling repeatedly urged, so she had to continue gambling. Unfortunately, Zhao Changqing lost another game. The two clusters of small silk flowers belonged to Third Sister Ling.

Third Sister Ling was even more interested, and hurriedly urged Zhao Changqing to place a bet with the small gold bracelet on her wrist, Zhao Changqing touched her chubby wrist like a snow-white lotus root and said, "The bracelet on my hand is golden, how can I give it up?" Pulling down a pair of pearl earrings, Ling Sanjie made a note of the small silk flowers she won and the silk flowers on her head.

Zhao Changqing had good luck and turned the tables.

Zhao Changqing hurriedly hung the pearl pendant back on his ear, patted his chest, and smiled happily, "But I'm nervous, but fortunately, my ancestors blessed." Alright, cousin, let's stop it. ”

Third Sister Ling lost the flowers, how could she give up.

Zhao Changqing had to accompany him, and Third Sister Ling put the delicate bead flowers on again.

When it was time to eat at noon, Ling Sanjie put a gold bracelet, a gold collar, a bead flower, and a silk flower, and finally lost all the jewelry on her body to Zhao Changqing, and Ling Sanjie, who was directly lost, had a bloodless face and red eyes.

Hearing Yahuan call for dinner, Ling Sanjie trembled, her face turned white, and she looked at Zhao Changqing and Ling Teng without a master, "Mother sees that I have nothing on me, but what should I do?" ”

Ling Teng didn't sympathize with his sister at all, how many times did he persuade him to tell Third Sister Ling to stop. However, Third Sister Ling still wants to win again if she wins, and if she loses, she has to turn the tables, so she should have some calamity, so she said, "To be honest, it is to lose to Sister Qing anyway, and it is not an outsider." "Zhao Changqing may not really want Ling Sanjie's jewelry, but Ling Sanjie really owes some lessons.

Cold sweat broke out on Third Sister Ling's forehead, her father and mother were strict, if she told her mother to know that she lost something like Zhao Changqing, she would not have to beat her to death with a stick. Third Sister Ling looked at Zhao Changqing pitifully, "Sister Qing, Sister Qing, you can save me." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's better for my cousin to write an IOU, I can return these things to my cousin for the time being, and then I don't let Cousin Teng reveal the news, how can the second aunt know about this." My cousin can only pay back these silver slowly, and pay me back three or five hundred dollars a month, and I will be able to pay it off in a few years. ”

Third Sister Ling only wanted to pass the test temporarily, and there was nothing that should not be done, so she said without thinking, "Sister, just write it." "If she wants to get things back, she won't come to Zhao's house from now on to see how Zhao Changqing collects debts.

Zhao Changqing then spread out the blank paper and wrote an IOU, which was very clear:

The third sister of the Ling family lost a pair of gold bracelets of the Zhao family Changqing in the eighth month of the tenth year of Emperor Zhaoren, a gold collar, a bead flower, and a silk flower, a total of thirty taels of silver, as evidenced by his brother Ling Teng.

Zhao Changqing took the rouge box and asked their sister and brother to press the handprint and sign their names.

After the third sister Ling finished her makeup in the mirror, Zhao Changqing put the IOU in her arms, and the group happily went to the main courtyard for dinner.

Of course, only Zhao Changqing and Ling Teng were happy, and Ling Sanjie was depressed and uneasy, like a wilted eggplant beaten by frost, and there was no longer the previous high-spiritedness.

After eating, Third Sister Ling sat with the Ling family for a while, and the second Mrs. Ling took their sister and brother to say goodbye, Zhao Changqing said, "Mother is looking at Brother Ning in the house, I'll go and send the second aunt and cousin the same." ”

Ling smiled, "Okay, then you can give your aunt and cousin a ride." He said to Third Sister Ling and Ling Teng, "If you are free, just come and play with Miss Qing." ”

The two of them were very polite and said goodbye to their mother.

Zhao Changqing sent the mother and children to the door, and suddenly said, "Uncle, I still have some whispers to say to my cousin." ”

Second Mrs. Ling smiled, "You two are really, don't you have anything to say just now?" Go ahead, it's getting weirder, and whispering. ”

Second Mrs. Ling didn't understand the reluctance in her daughter's eyes at all, Zhao Changqing had already pulled Third Sister Ling into the concierge, looked at Third Sister Ling with a smile for a moment, and looked at Third Sister Ling all over her body, Zhao Changqing said softly, "Cousin, don't make up your mind about not paying your debts." Do you know how your husband's man died? It is the one who does not repay the debt and is beaten to death by the debt collector. If my cousin has the idea of not paying off the debt and not showing up from now on, I advise you to accept it for the time being. There were ruffians in the city, and as long as they gave them fifty percent of the debts they had collected, they would be willing to collect the debts on behalf of the lord's house. It's not that I'm rare for thirty taels of silver, but if someone plays with me like a monkey, I'll do anything. ”

Zhao Changqing suddenly became ruthless, and Third Sister Ling was already in a trance, so she scared Zhao Changqing into a hurry, and hurriedly whispered, "I didn't say no, you have to give me some leeway, thirty taels, even if you sell me now, I can't take it." ”

Zhao Changqing's sweet smile fell in Ling Sanjie's eyes but he was as frightened as a demon, Zhao Changqing held Ling Sanjie's cold hand and said softly, "I just told my cousin my temper, cousin don't live up to my trust." With that, he sent Third Sister Ling out of Lu to get in the car.
