The news of Su Bai's promotion was first transmitted to the border city, Zhao Changqing was very happy for Su Bai, but what he missed the most was Mr. Su, and discussed with the Ling family, "Ah Bai was lifted, it's not good not to tell Li Baihu's family." "After all, Mr. Su is such a distant cousin in the border city, although he is not very close on weekdays, he also has courtesy exchanges.

Ling smiled, "Very much." Call the blessings, such a great joy. ”

Zhao Changning said, "I'll go outside the city to greet Mr. Bai and Mr. Ming'er." ”

Zhao Yong smiled, "This section, there are eight masters in our border city, and I heard that the prefect is also very happy, and a colorful shed has been set up at the city gate, so it's good to go and greet him." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "If A-Ning goes, he will be with Ayu, Pear, and Liguo, and then call Brother Li, and you will be lively in one place." "Li Mingbao is generous, and the relationship between the Zhao and Li families is not bad, so it seems intimate to go together at this time.

Zhao Changning said, "This is very true, if my sister doesn't remind me, I will forget Brother Mingbao." ”

Mrs. Zhao sighed, "It's not in vain Mr. Su's hard work over the years." "When a woman with a child leaves her hometown, how much hard work does it take to train her son.

Zhao Changyu smiled, "I haven't seen you for two years, I don't know what Brother Bai looks like." ”

The family was gossiping, but Zhao Rong was silent: My cousin was also hit.

Listening to what everyone said, Zhao Rong smiled and said to Zhao Changyu, "Ah Bai can still be changed, and he has two eyes and one mouth when he is lifted." But you go to greet Ah Bai, don't forget to congratulate Cousin He Teng. ”

Everyone has no opinion on Cousin Teng, the key is that Cousin Teng's mother is too troubled. However, Zhao Changning is fifteen years old after all, and the person who often goes out on weekdays is the eldest son in the family, and he also has some eyes. Therefore, when he heard the words, he only said, "You don't need to say it, cousin Abai and they will definitely come back together, can you still turn around and leave when you see your cousin, so naturally you want to congratulate your cousin." "Zhao Changning deeply dislikes Zhao Rong for being a waste, becoming a daytime poet and lyrics, thinking that she is the most talented woman in the world, not doing a little serious thing, making a demonic personal ring, causing trouble.

Zhao Rong was wholeheartedly immersed in Ling Tengzhongju's thoughts, and she had no time to refute Zhao Changning's words, and her thoughts had already flown away.

Ling ordered Mrs. Bai to take the ring to clean Mr. Su's house.

The excitement of the return of the people is not mentioned, the pomp is not as good as the spring house, but, the location of the spring is the imperial capital, even if you know which person in the hometown is the title of the gold list, at that time the master of Jinshi was already in the imperial capital, how can it be like now, the newly baked glory of lifting people back to their hometown. The people who look lively outside are not worse than the temple fair.

Zhao Changqing didn't go to the medicine hall, just waited at home, and when he heard the news that Mr. Su had arrived home, Zhao Changqing hurriedly went out to greet him. Mr. Su is still the same, peaceful and tranquil, but Su Bai is really startled at first glance, Zhao Changqing exclaimed, "Why did Ah Bai grow so tall?" "I jumped on my head in two years.

Mr. Su smiled, "It's like a bamboo pole." ”

Zhao Changqing saluted Mr. Su, and Mr. Su held her hand and smiled, "Let's go in." The old lady and the lady must be waiting. ”

Everyone went directly to the old lady's house, and the Ling family was also in the old lady's house, and when they saw Mr. Su, they had a lively story to say. After greeting each other, Mr. Su smiled and talked about the affairs of Gansu Mansion, "Because the big guys went together, Gansu Mansion also has another courtyard of the Zhu family, so we lived in the courtyard together, seven or eight talents, and they discussed their homework together." I took care of the chores for them, and this time they lived together with eight talents, and four of them were hit. There are also two lifters, one is the Chen family's Sanlang, who should be the eldest niece of the wife's mother's family, the brother-in-law of the third room. The other is the child of the Zhu family, named Zhu Tang, who is Chen Sanlang's aunt and cousin. It's a pity that Brother Qing'er, otherwise, with his talent, there will be a place. Mr. Su's voice changed and he smiled, "However, it's not a pity, Brother Qing is only here, and if he ends up in three years, he will be ranked well." ”

Ling smiled, "That's what Mr. said. He looked at Su Bai like a bright moon and stars, and praised, "I haven't seen each other for the past two years, and Ah Bai has become more and more promising." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's like you've grown up." ”

Ling Shi said angrily, "What do you mean by growing up, you are already an adult." There are not many children in the entire border city who are more talented than Ah Bai. "This child was born really well, and he has this kind of talent to learn, and he was lifted at a young age, he is really a good son!

Mr. Su smiled, "The child is good for his own family, and his wife looks at him naturally." ”

After everyone said a few words, Zhao Yong took the boys to the West Chamber to speak.

Mr. Su added, "At that time, I knew about the old lady and old lady of the Zhu family in Gansu, although it was inevitable that the world would have the joys and sorrows of life and death, it was still sad. In this city, there is really a kind of broad-minded old man like Mrs. Zhu, and at the beginning, Ah Bai was attached to the family study, and Mrs. Zhu took many photos. I wondered when I would call Bai to pay a memorial service. ”

Not long after the death of her parents, Mrs. Zhao's eyes were slightly astringent, and she wiped her tears and said, "It's okay, my mother was still not at ease about the clan study before she died, so she deliberately set aside 10,000 taels of silver for the clan study." ”

"The old lady's vision is far-reaching, beyond the reach of ordinary people." Sighing back to Mrs. Zhu, Mr. Su persuaded Mrs. Zhao, "The old lady and the old lady have a deep mother-daughter relationship, and they are naturally sad." It's just that if the old lady knows and knows that you are sad, I'm afraid you will be worried. ”

Zhao Changqing also persuaded, "Yes." Grandmother, now that Ah Bai has just come back, let's be happy. Mr. I'm afraid I don't know yet, and next year Aning and Liguo will also want to give it a try. "Use other words to lead away from the Zhu family's affairs.

Mr. Su smiled, "It seems that they have worked hard in the past two years." They'll be sixteen next year, and it's time to give it a try. ”

Ling smiled, "That child in Liguo has always been good at studying, and A-Ning goes out to run horses and play with people when he has time, and he doesn't know if he can succeed?" ”

Mr. Su is the most understanding person, and said with a smile, "A-Ning is open-minded and works hard to study. If the wife is worried, Ah Bai will come back anyway and ask Ah Bai to help them read the article. I can't say that I can advise, but I can make progress together. ”

Ling Shi closed his mouth happily.

Zhao Changqing asked, "Next year's spring, sir, does Abai want to end?" ”

Mr. Su smiled, "If you prepare for the Spring Festival, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back to the border city, and you have to rush to the imperial capital in a hurry." Ah Bai's article, the autumn move can still get one or two places, and it is common to put it in the imperial capital. I thought about it, and told him to study for a few more years, and it would not be too late for him to get off the course. ”

Zhao Changqing also said, "This is so stable." "Su Baiqiu's ranking is very good, but, the quality of reading in the northwest has always been inferior to Jiangnan and the imperial capital, rather than worrying about next year's spring, it is better to wait another three years, lay a solid foundation, if you can win a good ranking in one fell swoop, there is a foundation for a lifetime of future. Otherwise, if you are between the two and you, you will just fall off the list, and if you get a fellow jinshi, you will be disgusted and disgusting.

Everyone said that if they met again, two seats were opened in the evening, and it was lively for a long time.

Next, Su Bai was busy as if he were a dhara. The prefect set up a banquet to invite the new imperial examination people, and he also had to visit the gentlemen of the official school and the gentleman of the clan school, and the entertainment between the classmates was also very small. Moreover, Su Bai, Ling Teng, Chen Sanlang, and Zhu Tang took the time to go to the Zhu family, Zhu Tang was originally a member of the Zhu clan, and the remaining three of them all studied in the Zhu clan, and they had a good relationship with Zhu Qing.

Zhu Qing first congratulated the four of them, Ling Teng had the best relationship with Zhu Qing, and said, "We are lucky to win this subject, and we don't know the bottom of our hearts in the spring next year, so we simply wait for another subject." When the old lady is alive, she cares most about your schoolwork. Aqing, in the spring, waiting for you. ”

Zhu Qing smiled, "Okay." ”

Because the four of them are from the new imperial examination, Uncle Zhu Liu rarely wants to see them, especially all of them are young and talented, Uncle Zhu Liu likes them more and more, asked them a lot of words, and said, "Brother Zhu is not very neat, otherwise, Brother Zhu has always loved talents, and he will definitely see you." "Since Mrs. Zhu passed away, Uncle Zhu has also fallen ill, and Uncle Zhu is very worried about his brother's health.

In fact, Uncle Zhu is not in good health, on the one hand, he is sad that his parents have passed away, and on the other hand, he is tired from the funeral. Uncle Zhu Liu was even more annoyed that Mrs. Zhu Liu was not virtuous, if it weren't for Mrs. Zhu's deathbed, Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu Liu's matter would be difficult to get right, that's it, the other brothers are not without opinions, but the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, after the rod killed the scourge called the lotus girl, the rest of them were also closed, and everyone turned a blind eye. Uncle Zhu Liu handed over all the family affairs to the hands of his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, and no longer asked Mrs. Zhu Liu to interfere for half a minute, and he felt that he was getting old and rarely saw people. Now that these are four new imperial examination people coming to the door, Uncle Zhu Liu's eyes have seen it, especially Ling Teng, Su Bai, and Chen Sanlang have all studied in the Zhu family, and when they think of the family study, they can't help but think of their mother-in-law, and Uncle Zhu's eyes are slightly wet. When his grandmother was alive, he didn't dislike his grandmother, but now that his grandmother has gone and seen these people again, Uncle Zhu Liufang understands his mother's good intentions for many years, and his heart is even more sour.

It was Yuan who privately said to her husband, "This is all the old lady's accumulated virtue." "People are thinking about the Zhu family, and the children of the Zhu family will become famous in the future, which is the relationship between people. Incense, candles, and paper money were prepared, and Zhu Qing took a few people to the ancestral tomb of the Zhu family.

After sacrificing the two elders of the Zhu family, they said goodbye to the Zhu family, and several people broke up. Ling Teng and Su Bai went all the way, Ling Teng said, "I should go and ask my aunt and uncle for peace, but today's clothes are not suitable, I will come to my aunt and uncle tomorrow to say goodbye." "When you come to pay tribute to your elders, you naturally have to change into plain clothes. It's not good to go to someone else's house in plain clothes.

Both of them are smart people, they have eaten and lived in the past two years, studied in one place, and both have talents and learning, and they really have a bit of sympathy for each other. Su Bai said, "Are you still thinking about Sister Qing?" ”

Ling Teng smiled bitterly and sighed, "It's just what I can do if I read it." Zhao Changqing's decision that day, he saw it with his own eyes and experienced it himself. Zhao Changqing said a long time ago that even if he was promoted to a jinshi, an official as a slaughterer, and a marquis to worship the prime minister, he would not marry her. Every time Ling Teng thought about it, he couldn't help but feel sad.

Su Bai said, "If you still miss her, you always muttered something in front of me?" I don't dare to ask her, I'll ask my mother, but you'd better be prepared. Sister Qing's idea is not easy to change. ”

Ling Teng was silent for a moment and arched his hand, "Ah Bai, thank you." ”

Su Bai went home and found a time to talk to his mother, "I think Ah Teng is really sincere to Sister Qing." ”

Mr. Su was sitting in a rocking chair reading a book, and when he heard this, he held the book and knocked Su Bai's head, "There are many people who are sincere to Changqing, and they want to marry all of them, can Changqing marry?" ”

Su Bai asked, "Who else?" ”

Mr. Su didn't answer and asked, "Do you think that someone is sincere to Changqing, and Changqing should marry him?" ”

Su Bai was immediately dumbfounded.

Mr. Su asked, "Did you grow up with Ling Teng since you were a child?" When you were a child, it was Ling Teng who took you to play, made you snacks to eat, and listened to your nagging troubles? ”

Su Bai was ashamed and argued forcefully, "I just feel that Ah Teng's conditions are quite good." ”

Mr. Su showed no mercy, "The honey of A, the arsenic of B." ”

Su Bai fled.

Mr. Su's opinion on Zhao Changqing is, "You are not short of money now, you have your mother's family and brothers, and you have the good causes you have planted over the years, so you don't need to let others arrange your marriage." Changqing, whether it is the future path or the future man, you can already make your own choice. ”
