After noon, the group went home with bags full of birds.

For the first time in his life, Zhao Changqing was so relaxed, he could run freely and carefree in the snow, and he would not feel the slightest cold when the north wind swept through his ears. At this time, she really realized that the smoky gray sky was so vast, as if her soul had been cleansed.

For the first time in her life, she was as relaxed and presumptuous as a child.

Even Zhao Lizi felt that Zhao Changqing was a little different from before, although he couldn't feel that feeling, he could feel the joy in Zhao Changqing's heart, smiled and pulled Zhao Changqing's soft little hand and said, "Sister Qing, if you like to catch birds, I'll bring you back tomorrow." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "What's the point of coming every day, as soon as it clears up tomorrow, the snow will melt." ”

Zhao Lizi said, "Then let's come back next time it snows." ”

"Okay." Zhao Changqing is willing to enjoy his childhood, those hurried years have now come back again, there is really no reason not to cherish it. Zhao Changqing turned his head and asked with a smile, "Sir, what's it like outside?" What is the imperial capital like? ”

Mr. Su smiled, "The north and the south have their own customs, if you say that the imperial capital, prosperous and splendid, full of people, far better than the border city." ”

Zhao Lizi asked, "Are there many delicious dim sum fruits?" ”

"That's right." Mr. Su took Su Bai's little hand and said with a smile, "If you want to seek fame and wealth, it is a good place." ”

Zhao Changqing put his hands behind his back, kicked the snow under his feet with his little boots one by one, and said, "Chunyu is in the imperial capital." However, I'm a girl, so I don't need to test my fame, so I don't know when I'll be able to go out and see the world outside. In her previous life, she never stepped out of the border city until she died. At that time, she originally thought that after Ling Teng went to high school, she would go to the imperial capital to live with Ling Teng. In private, he was worried that his native accent would be looked down upon by the people of the imperial capital, Zhao Changqing practiced the imperial capital dialect in private, and he didn't want her to accompany her in the imperial capital in high school, and the Ling family also needed her to be a cow and a horse in her hometown...... Now, she has already let go of Ling Teng's matter, or because she lived too much in her previous life, things will be reversed, Zhao Changqing is so yearning for the sky outside the border city.

Xiao Lihua'er had a different opinion, she said, "Although it's good outside, our family is in the border city." There is no family or friend outside, even if the mountains and rivers are good, it must be lonely. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's just to take a look, it's not that I won't come back." Otherwise, if you are only in the border city all your life, you have never been to the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and you have never seen the wealth of the imperial capital, when you think about it when you die, it will be lonely if you have passed in a hurry for a lifetime. ”

Xiao Lihuaer said, "It will be a long time later, in the border city, it is easy for us to do some small business at our doorstep, if we go to other places, I am afraid it will not be easy to make a living." ”

Zhao Changqing sighed, "Yes." "A capable person like Mr. Su, when he arrives in the border city, he can only be a master to earn living needs, like her, wouldn't it be even more difficult. Sighing, Zhao Changqing smiled, "It doesn't matter if you go or not, let's think about it first, anyway, we don't need money to dream." ”

Zhao Lizi said, "It's not difficult. In the future, I will sell my sister's baskets to all parts of the country, and I will take you wherever you want. Don't talk about the imperial capital of Jiangnan, that is, the Western Barbarians, the North and the South Vietnam, it is all a matter of my Zhao Lizi's words. ”

Xiao Lihua'er smiled, "Although you don't need money to dream, you don't dream during the day." ”

Zhao Lizi pursed her mouth, quite dissatisfied with his sister, and pouted, "Sister, don't you always look down on me, can you succeed?" If you do this again, I won't take you out of the city in the future, I will only take Sister Qing! ”

"Just blow it." Little Pear Blossom didn't believe it at all.

Zhao Lizi snorted angrily, and Zhao Changqing smiled, "Lizi will definitely make a fortune in the future." ”

Zhao Lizi immediately turned her anger into joy and smiled, "Yes, yes!" I know that Lu Daoqing's sister has vision. The little girl's trust made Zhao Lizi's self-confidence unprecedentedly inflated, and he couldn't help but raise his little chest high.

Xiao Lihuaer said, "Sister Qing is comforting you, don't take it seriously." ”

"Sister Qing is obviously telling the truth!"

The two sisters and brothers walked all the way and quarreled all the way, and when they arrived at the door, Xiao Lihuaer said, "Sister Qing, the birds and sparrows will be given to you." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "We didn't eat at noon, so let's come to my house for dinner first." Birds, I asked Sister-in-law Liu to clean up, half of the family. ”

Little Pear Blossom said, "I'll just go home with the pears and eat them." ”

Zhao Lizi cheered, "Sister, then you can go home and eat by yourself." I ate with my sister. ”

Xiao Lihuaer glared at Zhao Lizi, Zhao Changqing took her hand, Xiao Lihuaer also smiled, no longer polite, and followed Zhao Changqing's house.

Zhao Changqing first went to see the old lady and the Ling family, and when the two saw her come back, they hurriedly asked Yahuan to serve tea and dinner.

Zhao Changqing said with a smile, "Pear blossoms and pears, Mr. Su, and Ah Bai didn't eat either." Grandmother, mother, I just have dinner with them in Mr. Su's house. ”

Seeing Zhao Changqing come back happily, Ling Shi advised, "Then go." I asked Sister-in-law Liu to leave food for you, if it is cold, ask her to warm it up, don't hurt your spleen and stomach if you eat it cold. The kitchen boiled brown sugar ginger soup, drank a bowl for one person, and went out for most of the day, and it was freezing and it was medicine money. ”

Zhao Changqing returned to Mr. Su's house and saw that Mr. Su had come back with brown sugar ginger water, so he asked Zhao Changqing to wash his hands and face, and several people drank brown sugar ginger water around the charcoal basin. A bowl of hot brown sugar ginger water went down, and there was an indescribable warmth all over the body.

After a while, Sister-in-law Liu brought a meal, and everyone ate it together.

After the meal, Xiao Lihuaer took Zhao Lizi to say goodbye, Zhao Lizi was quite reluctant, and said, "Sister Qing, I'll go back to weaving baskets with my sister, and I'll play with you again when I'm free tomorrow." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled and sent them to the gate.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Chu Yu sent someone to send a roe deer and two rabbits over, Ling smiled and thanked him, and after sending the people from the General's Mansion away, he summoned Zhao Changqing to him and asked, "Good manner, why did the General's Mansion send us a roe deer?" "Except for Zhao Changqing, no one in the family has a relationship with anyone in the General's Mansion.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "When we caught birds today, we happened to meet Brother Chu and Sister Chu and they went hunting, which is a share of the seekers." ”

Ling smiled, "Who has a share?" It's a shame for what you said. Remember to say thank you to them when you see them. It's so gracious. ”

"I know." Zhao Changqing smiled, "I asked Sister-in-law Liu to pack up the birds and give half to Sister Lihua'er, and give them another rabbit by the way." ”

Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, although Zhao Da is a bad gambler, several children in the family are very sensible, and sister-in-law Xing is a good temperament. Ling smiled, "What I said is that you often play together, take one and give it to them." Hey, Lihua'er is three years older than you, and she's not much taller than you, so it's time to grow up. Ling is also a mother, and when the words came to the end, there was also a little sigh.

Zhao Changqing said with a smile, "Young people are not poor, pear blossoms are capable, pears are clever, after these few years, the good days of sister-in-law Xing will come." ”

Ling touched her daughter's soft face, and suddenly heard Zhao Changqing shout, "Alas, mother, mother, look! Pointing to Zhao Changning on the kang and said, "Brother Ning will leave." Sure enough, I saw Zhao Changning swaying over with his little short legs, and when he saw Zhao Changqing stretching out his hand, he threw himself into his sister's arms with a smile.

Zhao Changqing hurriedly caught him with both hands, hugged him in his arms and kissed him with a smile, and said happily, "Brother Ning will actually leave, it's only been more than ten months." ”

Ling was also pleasantly surprised, "Yes! What a coincidence of legs! ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Mother, I think Brother Ning has a good temper and is very sensible, and my mother hasn't been to see her ancestors for a while." Why don't you take Brother Ning next month, let's go over with our grandmother, and ask the ancestor to take a look at our Brother Ning. ”

Ling smiled, "It's okay." ”

Zhao Rong on the side heard this, climbed to Ling's side and picked it up, Ling hugged Xiangxiang's soft little daughter, and smiled, "Just take Sister Rong with you." ”

Zhao Changqing said, "It stands to reason that this is the best way." It's just that Brother Ning has just been able to walk, and if he can't walk well, he can't be taken care of by his mother. If Sister Rong is brought with her, she won't leave, so she has to be held in her arms all the time. Grandmother is so old, but who hugs Sister Rong. Not to mention that the Zhu family is not at home, Brother Ning and Sister Rong don't go out much, what if they go and cry? Brother Ning is okay with one and sister Rong, how can you stand it? It's better to wait for Sister Rong to be older, at least she will leave, and take her with her. ”

Ling thought about it, but it was reasonable, and smiled, "Then take Brother Ning first." ”

Zhao Rong's eyes breathed fire.

Zhao Changqing ignored her, looked for another thing to say, and said, "Mother, my socks are almost ready." I made two pairs, one for my ancestors and one for my great-grandfather. My great-grandfather's birthday is next month, and I'll bring it with me, Mother, do you say okay? ”

Ling Shi was extremely relieved and said with a smile, "You are so sensible, there is nothing bad about it." ”

In fact, Zhao Changqing's biggest advantage is not that he is smart and sensible, but that he is patient.

When Zhao Changqing moved to a new house, she wanted to get a calligraphy and painting to fill the façade, but she didn't want to spend too much money, so she couldn't get her own words, so she simply asked Mr. Su for words. Mr. Su sent her a couplet: If there is continuity, why do you need to sleep in the middle of the night; The most useless thing is to be exposed to the cold for ten days a day.

Zhao Changqing hung on the wall, looking at it once a day, and seemed to have something in his heart.

*****

Time flies, when Mrs. Zhu received the needlework from Zhao Changqing in the third year, she instructed Yahuan to take crystal glasses and put on the needlework and embroidery on the cotton socks, and couldn't help but praise, "Miss Qing is really a pair of skillful hands, she is only a few years old, and she does such a good needlework." ”

Zhao Changqing is eight years old, and the baby fat of his childhood has gradually faded, and his beautiful little face is like a flower bud. Her eyes were crooked, the corners of her lips pursed a shallow smile, her voice was crisp and beautiful, with a sense of coolness, "My great-grandfather's birthday is in November, and my ancestors have always treated me well, and I always want to pay tribute." I also felt that my ancestors were blessed and long-lived, and I didn't lack anything, so I did some needlework. Although there may not be a needlework room, the sisters are good, but in the end, it is my heart. ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled, "That's good." Your grandmother's handiwork is a successor. ”

Mrs. Zhao smiled, "Yes, when the young girl was younger than me, I didn't have as good skills as her when I was as old as her." ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled at Zhao Changqing and said, "Your great-grandfather is not at home, when he comes back, I will ask someone to send him things, and he likes them one by one." At the beginning, Mrs. Zhu only thought that Zhao Changqing was grateful to the old man for giving her Yujue, and she didn't want Zhao Changqing to have needlework and filial piety every year after that, all of which were made by herself, which was not very valuable, but it made people feel intimate. Mrs. Zhu sighed secretly, this is a girl with a conscience, if you treat her well, she will remember it in her heart.

How rare.

Zhu Ling is twelve years old, and she is already a slim girl, and she smiled on the side, "Although Sister Qing is young, the needlework is far better than ours. There are also people who ask me for tricks. ”

Zhao Changqing said with a smile, "I'm a little better at this, every time my sister's poetry meeting, I must be at the bottom, but fortunately, my sister is always willing to take care of me." If my sister likes it, I will ask Liu Er to send the pattern to my sister. ”

Zhu Ling smiled, "It's so good, I thanked my sister first." ”

Zhao Rong is also four years old, and her eyebrows are somewhat similar to Zhao Changqing, but they are not as mellow as Zhao Changqing when he was young. Zhao Rong was the most dressed up, and her small face was as beautiful as morning dewdrops, and she said in a milky voice, "Sister Ling, I'm also learning poetry from my husband." In the future, Sister Ling will have a poetry meeting, can I come with my sister? ”

Zhu Ling smiled, "You can just come." I'll have someone ready for you to eat. ”

Zhao Rong smiled sweetly, "Sister Xie Ling." ”

Yuan said to Ling, "Rong girl is so young, can she start studying?" "The Zhu family is a scholarly family, and the children are all enlightened at the age of six. Of course, before enlightenment, Yuan would also teach his children some simple Mongolian books. This matter is common in the book. The Zhao family is just the door of the military household, but they are willing to take care of their daughter like this, and the Yuan family is really impressed.

Ling wiped the pastry crumbs from the corners of his lips and smiled, "This girl has nothing to do at home, her sister is studying with her husband, so she listens to it." A few days ago, I had to learn to read and write when I wanted paper and pen, and I didn't want to cry again, so I went with her. Once Changqing followed Mr. to learn poetry, she read four sentences in a similar way, and listened to Mr. say that it was better than Changqing. ”

Yuan Shi was deeply surprised, "There is such a thing? ”

Ling smiled, "I don't understand these poems either, Mr. said that, who knows the way." "I was very proud in my heart, I thought that the eldest daughter was outstanding enough, and I didn't want the younger daughter to be as talented as the eldest daughter.

Zhu Ling was also a little curious when she heard this, she took Zhao Rong's hand and asked, "Sister Rong, what good poems do you make, read them with my sister." ”

Zhao Rong said, "It's not a bewitching view of the world, and you are born arrogant and cold. The heart follows the public will of the sauker, all in the thousands of mountains. ”

Zhu Ling was startled, looked Zhao Rong up and down for a moment, and praised repeatedly, "Sister Rong can do such good poetry at such a young age, compared with my sister, my sister has really read all these years in vain." Next time I have a poetry meeting, I will definitely invite my sister to come. ”

Yuan smiled, "I think, how many boys can't write poetry when they are as old as Sister Rong." Sister Rong, you have only been studying for a long time, and you will be able to make poems. ”

Zhu Ling tilted his head, his eyes showed confusion, and said, "I don't know what's going on with Lu Dao, as soon as Mr. said it, I seemed to understand." The gentleman is called poetry, and you can come up with it when you think about it. ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled, "I remember your aunt said that when Rong girl grabbed Zhou, she grabbed the pen and ink, and she may have this tendon." ”

Mrs. Zhao smiled, "Yes, I said the same too." Qing Yatou was like this when she was a child, she wanted to learn to study and study, and later saw that she really liked it, so she invited her husband. Now Rong girl also likes to study, hey, children like it, girls' families, study reasonably, miss them with them, nothing more than waste some pen and ink. Be frugal at home, and have everything. ”

Yuan didn't like to hear Mrs. Zhao say anything thrifty or anything like that, as if she was crying poor. Yuan smiled and said, "Sister Ruorong is a son, and my aunt and younger siblings just have to wait for the fate." ”

Ling smiled, "Sister Rong and Brother Ning'er are brothers and sisters, but Brother Ning has no interest in books. asked him to study with his sisters, but he ran out of the city every day to play crazy, and there was no quiet time for playing with knives and guns. ”

Zhao Changning said humbly, "Mother, I am very bored from studying, and I sit for a long time." ”

Yuan smiled, "With such two daughters who are so clever and smart, even I envy my younger siblings." Brother Ning'er is a boy, he is going to pick up his father's messenger in the future, and he likes to play with knives and guns. ”

"Hey, sister-in-law doesn't know my difficulties." Ling smiled and flattered Yuan, "I heard that Brother Qing'er is studying very well, and I heard my nephew say that Brother Qing is going to take the Xiucai exam." ”

Yuan's smile grew, "It's no such thing. It's just a few Qingke touting him, he has only been studying for a few years, how dare he compare with Mr. Xiucai. It's the younger brother and sister's nephew, named Brother Teng, and the child is very well-behaved. A few times Brother Teng and Brother Qing came to Wen Shu together, very polite, Brother Qing often told me that there are so many children in the class, Brother Teng'er homework is very good. ”

Ling smiled, "It's rare for them to fall in love like this, this classmate relationship is rare, if they can get fame together in the future, it's really an elegant thing." ”

Yuan smiled, "Who said it wasn't." ”

After talking for a long time, after having dinner at noon, the Zhao family said goodbye and left.

Yuan sighed, "The two granddaughters of my aunt's family are really difficult for ordinary people to reach. It is rare that the younger siblings are willing to ask their husband to recuperate, and the children who have studied are so generous in their words and actions. "Watching Zhao Changqing grow up, now Zhao Rong is young and has a talent for poetry. People like them are not patriarchal like small families, so Yuan has a lot of emotion. has such two outstanding daughters, although the real high-ranking family can't climb it, but it's easy to marry two good relatives.

Zhu Ling smiled, "Yes, I originally thought that Sister Qing was already very good, but now Sister Rong has learned poetry at such a young age, which is even more rare." ”

Old Mrs. Zhu smiled silently, "You are all sisters, so you can get along with each other." ”

Zhu Ling smiled.

On the return trip, Zhao Changqing was in a car with Mrs. Zhao, and Zhao Rong and Zhao Changning were in a car with Ling's.

Zhao Rong discussed with the Ling family, "Mother, I will be five years old next year, and I also want to live by myself, like my sister." "How many times have I fallen since I was reborn, Zhao Rong finally learned to be obedient, and she endured it until she was four years old to show her genius.

Ling smiled, "It's almost the New Year this day, let's talk about it when the spring is warm." There's another one next to your sister, so you might as well pack up and move in. It was three rooms, you lived in the westernmost one, and you shared the middle hall with your sister, and the two sisters were close. ”

"Mother, I want to live with my mother." Zhao Rongcai was not happy to live in the opposite room with Zhao Changqing.

The children were angry, and Ling's temper became softer and softer, and he asked with a smile, "Then where are you fancy?" ”

"A-Ning lives in my mother's east ear room, how about I live in the west ear room?" Zhao Rong smiled, "I want to live with my mother." "Since she was one year old, Zhao Rong has been moved to the old lady's cubicle, which is where Zhao Changqing lived before. She wanted to live closer to the Ling family, this home, after all, was the Ling family. Before she was reborn, she was so close to her mother, but now all this has been taken away by Zhao Changqing, how willing Zhao Rong is.

Zhao Changning said, "Mother, is it okay for me to live with my sister?" "He's been nice to his sister since he was a child.

Ling Shi smiled, "I haven't heard that the kid lives in the opposite room with his daughter, you give me an honest place to live in the east ear room." "Now my son is still young, and when my son is older, the house is not enough to live in.

Zhao Changning was discouraged, and Zhao Rong said to him, "I talk a lot at home on weekdays, why don't you say a word in front of your ancestors, just know how to listen to the cake, see that you eat most of the plate of cake alone, and you are not afraid to hold on." ”

"You poems and paintings every day, and I don't understand them." Zhao Changning rolled his eyes and said, "That cake is not very delicious, and the fresh milk sticks that my sister fried for me last time are delicious." ”

Zhao Rong has always been so strong, and said, "I mean you want to eat at home, don't show such a greedy face in others, it's embarrassing." ”

Zhao Changning said, "It's embarrassing to eat two cakes!" The cake was placed there, and it was meant to be eaten! The ancestors didn't say that I was ashamed, and it wasn't your turn to say it! In the future, you will be called Ah Ning, you want to call me big brother, do you know it? ”

Zhao Rong said, "You have to be like a big brother!" ”

Zhao Changning didn't care if he was a big brother or not, he waved his fist and said, "If you call me by my name again, I have to beat you!" ”

Zhao Rong immediately complained, "Mother, look at him!" ”

"A-Ning, you are the elder brother, you have to let the younger sister."

Zhao Changning glared at Zhao Rong and said, "Whoever told her not to call me my brother, whose sister is like her." If she doesn't obey, I'll teach her a lesson! ”

Ling smiled, "Okay, it's also worth arguing about." Rong'er, in the future, you will call Brother A-Ning, don't call him by his name. Your brother is just trying to save face. A-Ning, since you are an elder brother, you can't bully your sister, do you know it? ”

Zhao Changning snorted, "Look if she listens or not!" ”

Zhao Rong didn't give an inch, and said, "It's good for you to act like a brother." I only know that Lu Dao said that others are not. ”

Zhao Changning stinked and didn't speak.

Zhao Rong glanced at her mother, and Ling smiled quietly when she saw her son's little stinky face.

Zhao Rong leaned her cheek on her mother's arm, full of dependence.

Since Zhao Rong turned one year old, the Ling family has a heartfelt pity for her well-behaved little daughter. Zhao Rong's small face leaned on Ling's arm, and Ling smiled, "Okay, then live with my mother." Then he asked her, "Where is the book?" ”

""Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Text" have been memorized, and Mr. wants to teach me the Four Books and Five Classics, I think, I don't need to learn to take the imperial examination. Mother, I like poetry, so I asked Mr. to explain poetry to me, and Mr. has already responded. ”

The Ling family didn't ask much about the university itself, but after Zhao Changqing's inaccessibility, the Ling family knew a little more, and said, "Your sister learned all the four books and five classics at that time. ”

Zhao Rong smiled, "I see that my sister often participates in poetry meetings or something, so it can be seen that learning poetry is more important." Besides, I don't really like the Four Books and the Five Classics. Mother, I want to learn good poetry, and I make good poems outside for my mother. I felt that if my sister had devoted herself to learning poetry at the beginning, she would definitely be able to make good poems now. ”

Ling thought about it, it made sense, touched Zhao Rong's little face and said, "Just as smart as your sister when she was a child." ”

Zhao Rong smiled lightly, "Compared to my sister, I'm still far behind." ”

"You're still young, take your time, what's the hurry."

Zhao Rong smiled, "I listen to my mother." "Those lost favors, those lost time, she will regain them little by little.

Zhao Changqing, are you ready?

The author has something to say: good night, my heart and soul ~~~~~~~
