Chapter 72
Chu Yu smiled as soon as he entered Zhao Changqing's room, "It's a fragrant house, it turns out that Sister Qing likes roses." "Not only are there many plants planted outside the porch, but the small potted plants in the house are still roses. Zhao Changqing's house is different from the ordinary lady's house, she never cuts flower branches for vase, but scatters fresh potted flowers, the whole room does not need to smoke incense, there is already a fragrant fragrance of flowers.
Zhao Changqing smiled, "This flower is easy to feed, you don't have to take care of it, and it can bloom for a long time." In winter, I raise narcissus, and it is also very fragrant. "Ask Chu Yu to sit down, and tell Yongfu to pour tea.
Zhao Changning said, "The narcissus began to look like garlic, and slowly it will bloom." When I soak garlic in water, garlic sprouts will also come out, and I will scramble eggs with garlic sprouts, which is delicious. Brother Chu, have you eaten it? ”
Chu Yu smiled, "It's delicious, it's delicious, but your mouth is super stinky after eating, so you have to brush your toothbrush well." ”
Zhao Changning had a sense of acquaintance with this, "Yes, after wiping it with green salt, I have to brush it with tooth powder, and my sister also wants me to hold tea leaves." "It's so annoying, isn't it?
Su Bai smiled, "Garlic and green onions are like this, they are delicious when you eat them, but they don't smell very good after eating." ”
"It's better than stinky tofu." Zhao Changning said, "I feel that a manly husband should be informal." ”
Zhao Changqing saw that Liu Er had sent a snack, asked Liu Er to put it on the table in the small living room, and said to Zhao Changning, "Informality and sloppiness are two different things. ”
Zhao Changning said, "Liguo didn't take a bath for half a month last time." ”
"Yes, otherwise why would Sister Lihua'er beat his ass and swollen." Liguo, this kid, is one year older than Zhao Changning, he is slow to do anything, and he doesn't like to wash his hair, take a shower and change clothes, if no one cares, he can be ranciful. Little Pear Blossom often teaches him about this, but the means of teaching are not very gentle. Liguo also negotiated with his sister because of this, and the negotiation content was as follows, "Otherwise, you beat me, don't force me to take a bath." ”
Xiao Lihuaer unceremoniously rolled up her sleeves and beat the pear fruit, and then brushed him in the bathtub. Later, Liguo felt that she couldn't avoid not taking a bath after being beaten, and it was really not cost-effective, so she had to take care of her personal hygiene obediently. It's just that occasionally I forget it, and if I accidentally spoil it or something, I will definitely beat him up if I touch it.
Zhao Changqing patted Zhao Changning's hand to get the cake and said, "Go wash your hands first." Just now you have guns and sticks, and you don't feel dirty. ”
"It's really long-winded." Zhao Changning muttered, pulled Su Bai out of the hall to wash his hands.
Yongfu brought tea, and Zhao Changqing called Chu Yu, "Brother Chu, come over for tea and snacks." ”
Chu Yu was looking through Zhao Changqing's small bookshelf, the books on it were all copied and bound by Zhao Changqing himself, Chu Yu asked, "Why don't you buy books?" ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's really stupid, there are few bookstores in the entire border city, and it costs one or two taels of silver to buy a few books, this is still an ordinary book." If it's a tome, it's more expensive. In fact, my grandfather had a lot of books in his house, so I often borrowed them and copied them. In this way, you can save money, you can also deepen your memory, and you can also practice calligraphy, killing three birds with one stone. ”
Zhao Changqing took out a copy of the "Three Character Classic" in the past, "This is the first book I copied, you can see the words at that time." He took out a newly copied page of "Lu Yu Tea Sutra", pointed to the words on it, and said, "It's a big growth." ”
Chu Yu also had to admit, "The characters are very similar now." ”
Zhao Changqing said, "I'm not a very talented person, and sometimes when I look at others who are so good and so good, I will feel deflated." However, every time I look at these copied books, I still feel that as long as you grit your teeth and persevere, there will always be progress. ”
On the first day of Zhao Changqing's study with Mr. Su, Mr. Su was deliberately cultivating her organization, and now, Zhao Changqing can still turn out the brushwork that she just learned to paint. took it out from the bookshelf and showed it to Chu Yu, "Last year, I learned to paint flowers and trees, these are peach blossoms, na, roses, and jasmine, jasmine is the flower raised in Mr. Su's house." This is a daffodil, it is a little cold in winter, and the paint is not easy to dissolve, so I didn't paint a few pages. This year, I learned fish, and the goldfish I raised in the small fish tank outside was just bought, and my husband said that I needed to observe more to draw well. Zhao Changqing said to Chu Yu carefully, she was mediocre in piano and chess, and she was good at painting. Although Zhao Changqing has always felt that it is because of the patterns in her previous life, even Mr. Su said that she is very spiritual in painting, and it is true to think about it. In her previous life, the flowers she embroidered were better than those embroidered by ordinary embroiderers.
Chu Yu said, "You are only a few years old, and you are painting very well now." ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "I can draw better in the future." ”
Chu Yu said, "When you finish painting the fish, it's time to embroider a Pisces purse for me." ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's only been a few months, and your birthday gift has been set?" I'm born in April, what do you give me? ”
"It's really a lampstand, you can shine on others, but you can't see yourself. What do you want? ”
"Except for Brother Chu, how can anyone take the initiative to ask for anything? I'm a girl, I have to be reserved, whatever Brother Chu gives, I want. Zhao Changqing smiled, "Brother Chu is not a person who often claims to have known for 5,000 years and 500 years below, can't he give a suitable birthday gift?" ”
Chu Yu slapped the corner of her forehead, "Guarantee is a great thing you like." ”
"I don't have anything great to like."
"I'm sure you'll like it when you see it."
Zhao Changqing finally became a little curious and asked, "What is it?" ”
Chu Yu smiled, pretending to be mysterious, "I won't tell you." ”
Zhao Changqing glanced at Bai Chuyu, seeing that his face was already very good, Fang pursed his lips and said, "There is something I want to ask you." ”
"What's the matter? Is there anything about your father's promotion? Chu Yu simply guessed it.
Zhao Changqing was already surprised by his ability, and nodded honestly, "Although my father is happy these days, he is also very nervous. ”
Chu Yu did not whet Zhao Changqing's appetite, "The guard is different from the border army under my father, the border army is a conscripted soldier, and there are them everywhere. The guard is a guard team composed of local military households, and in it, whether it is the general flag, a hundred households, or a thousand households, they are all from the border city. Therefore, the mountains of the border army and the guard army are different. However, 100 households are six products, and the official rank is neither high nor low, and if there is a vacancy, of course, it will be reported layer by layer. Qingyuan works beside my father, you are familiar with us, and we know a little bit about your family's family style. Uncle Zhao is a real person, and he has been the general flag for some years, and he is diligent on errands, and it is not an exaggeration to take another step. When Qingyuan saw the paperwork, he mentioned it in passing. My father asked me too. You just have to ask Uncle Zhao to be serious about his errands. ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Anyway, thank you for your kind words." My father has no ambitions, and we only learned about Zhu Baihu's vacancy later. He didn't move up at all, and there was a pie that turned on top of his head, and he was really surprised and delighted. "Her family feels that it is a big thing, and Yu Chuyu and Liang Qingyuan are just a word. It's just that she didn't expect Liang Qingyuan to speak for her family, after all, she and Liang Qingyuan are just familiar with each other.
"If you really want to thank me, why don't you make me a sachet to wear in a few days?"
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Then you have to be careful of being falsely accused by me in the future." "Make a sachet and her father will be promoted to the sixth grade, so how many more will she give? Of course, this is just a joke.
Chu Yu smiled and said to Zhao Changqing, "The vacancy left by Zhu Baihu is Song Qianhu's subordinates, and Uncle Zhao was on Zhao Qianhu's side before, and the shortage of these hundred households is now falling on Uncle Zhao's head." However, you still have to ask Song Qianhu a little bit or two, don't make him feel uncomfortable. ”
Zhao Changqing whispered to Chu Yu, "I have already sent a large sum of silver, and half of my family's savings have been gone." "A few days ago, I invited guests to eat and drink, and in fact, I received a lot of gifts, which was converted into a few hundred taels, which is not a big loss.
Chu Yu smiled, "Don't be so short-sighted, Uncle Zhao has secured the seat of the hundred households, these silver taels are nothing." ”
"My father, I know that he takes what he should take, and he never stretches out his hand when he shouldn't." Zhao Changqing smiled, "I also only know now that I am an official, not to mention my father, it is my uncle in the family, who is a scribe in the prefect's yamen, and there is some oil and water every year." In the past, my uncle was idle at home, and my grandfather wanted to save face, and he didn't want my uncle to be a clerk, but now my uncle is doing smoothly, he is honest, and he will not have so many twists and turns, but his life is much more spacious than before. ”
"It's strange that people are desperately running for the future of officialdom like this, and the benefits are limited on the surface, and the benefits are outside the money." Zhao Changqing concluded.
"There are good, but naturally there are disadvantages."
Zhao Changqing pursed his lips and said for a while, "Everything you do is the same, or there will be no Sai Weng." There are pros and cons to being an official, and it is even more uncomfortable to be a citizen, if everything goes well, I am afraid that the gods in the sky will not be able to do it. ”
Chu Yu couldn't help but smile, "You little girl, you say such an invigorating thing." ”
Zhao Changqing glanced at him, "I'm a young man." ”
Chu Yu closed the album, put it back in its original position, and when he saw Zhao Changning and Su Bai running back, he went out with Zhao Changqing to drink tea.
Chu Yu had a very good temper, and he talked a lot with the two little guys, and after a while, Chu Yu left.
In the evening, Zhao Changqing said Chu Yu's words to Zhao Yong, and said, "Sure enough, we guessed it, General Chu still knows a little bit about our family." Brother Chu said that the guard is the land of the border city people, and the border city army is the territory of foreign soldiers, which is different. General Chu asked Brother Chu about his father's character, and later ordered his father to make up for this shortage. Brother Chu said that as long as our family takes care of Song Qianhu properly, there will be no problem. ”
Zhao Yong touched Zhao Changqing's head and smiled, "Dad is touching my daughter's light." ”
"Look at what my father said, I'm not the only one who knows Sister Chu." Zhao Changqing smiled, "Daddy still remembers, my mother just gave birth to A-Ning A-Rong, and my father and I went to Ping'an Temple to tell them hexagrams, and I met General Chu that day." Daddy spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly at that time, but he had a bearing. I can't say, General Chu still remembers his father. ”
"It's been a matter of many years."
"If you don't have a relationship with each other, you might forget. Our two families have been in contact with each other a lot, and General Chu is unlikely to forget it. Besides, if my father is like Zhao Da next door on weekdays, it would be useless for me to know Sister Chu again. Zhao Changqing smiled, "In short, this is Daddy's luck, Daddy was born with the life of a hundred households!" My mother was born to be the wife of a hundred households, and I am a girl from a hundred households. ”
As soon as he was promoted, Zhao Yong was already happy, and when he gave Zhao Changqing such a flattery, he couldn't help but laugh.
