Dividing the family, big families pay attention to as long as the elderly are in the majority, they will not be separated.

However, this restriction is not evident in the homes of ordinary people.

It's just that in the Ling family, which prides itself on being a scholarly family, Mrs. Ling and Mrs. Ling are probably very uncomfortable in their hearts. In addition to Uncle Ling's family, Second Uncle Ling and Second Mrs. Ling also have cold and complaining faces.

Although I don't want to admit it, just looking at the stinky face of Mrs. Ling and Second Uncle Ling, who seems to have just crawled out of the pit, I feel that it is not unreasonable for the father and son to achieve nothing. In contrast, it was the gentle and quiet Ling Teng who was even more commendable.

The Ling family does not have many industries, a small village is two hundred acres of land, and a shop sells some groceries, which is logically divided into three parts, one for Mrs. Ling and the old lady, one for the long house, and one for the second room. If the second room moves out, it will inevitably buy another house, fold it into silver, and then supply the second room with dozens of taels.

This way of separation is the fairest.

As a result, Mrs. Ling unexpectedly proposed, "According to four parts, there should be a share of Brother Teng." ”

Second Uncle Ling's face was immediately overjoyed, and he looked at his son naturally.

Fortunately, he was the only one in the room, and Zhao Yong just came to testify and didn't speak. The patriarch who presided over the division of the family was stunned, what is this called the method of separation, Ling Teng was originally the son of the second room, how could he be a part of it alone? Mrs. Ling's maiden brother Xu Dafu said with a smile, "If the in-laws love their grandson, they just take a private subsidy and don't say anything." Just taking out Brother Teng'er for a share like this doesn't make the child bear the reputation of competing with his uncle for property, but it makes the child embarrassed. As he spoke, he glanced at Ling Teng.

Ling Teng didn't feel anything on his face, he didn't have his father's surprise, nor Xu Dafu's ridicule, and his head didn't look like a clan elder in a daze. He directly persuaded his grandfather warmly, "I know that my grandfather prefers me. Now the family has a little money, the uncle and the father are the sons of the grandfather, the grandfather thinks about it, the uncle's family has three sisters to support, the father only has me and my sister, and the eldest sister will be ten years old next year, and the dowry or something when she gets married must be prepared a few years in advance. As a brother, I should have taken care of my sisters. How can you rely on your grandfather's preference to compete for the family property now? Men should be self-reliant, if I have a chance, there will always be a chance, not bad. If I don't have any interest, my grandfather will favor me again, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to take care of it well in the future. Now that the family is about to be separated, I feel that although this family is divided, the blood is continuous. 's father is only a sibling brother of the uncle, and the family is not weak. In the future, if you live separately, you must come and go often, watch and help each other, so as to be a family in vain. ”

These words should have been said by Mrs. Ling, but a child was asked to say it. Mrs. Ling not only did not feel very embarrassed, but was moved with red eyes, hugged his grandson and did not let go, and said again and again, "They all say that I am biased, you see, how sensible this child is." ”

Xu Dafu and Zhao Yong, who originally thought that Ling Teng was sensible, told Ling Taiye to make trouble at this time, and he didn't know what to say, but fortunately, Ling Taiye was very willing to listen to his grandson, and sighed, "Since Ah Teng doesn't want it, let's divide it into three parts." ”

Ling Teng sighed secretly in his heart, and said seriously, "Grandfather, it should have been divided into three parts. ”

The division actually went very smoothly, and Mrs. Ling, who had a strange head, then divided the 200 acres of land into two, and the grocery store took a share, and then each grabbed it.

The men were divided in the hall, and the women were talking in the old lady's house. Because this matter was directly or indirectly caused by Zhao Changqing, even Mrs. Ling was indifferent to her, and Mrs. Ling was too lazy to pay attention to her. Therefore, Zhao Changqing simply didn't say a word, and just concentrated on eating snacks with Sister Ling, Second Sister Ling, and Fourth Sister Ling. After eating at noon, Zhao Changqing sat down for a while and went back with his parents.

Zhao Yong praised after returning home, "Brother Teng is really a good boy." He said how his father-in-law fainted and how Ling Teng persuaded his grandfather. I thought to myself that the words of my daughter who said that my grandfather didn't have much knowledge were really not bad at all!

Ling sighed, "My father has been studying for many years, and his feelings are a little bit sophisticated. ”

This is definitely not a matter of human feelings, Zhao Changqing is not good at saying that Mrs. Ling has a problem with his head, so he talked about Ling Teng and said, "Dad, this only says that Cousin Nengteng is an understanding person." You look at Cousin Teng because your grandfather is too confused. ”

Ling scolded slightly, "You kid, don't talk about your grandfather like that." ”

"Today's matter, in addition to my father, there are outsiders who I see, if we don't talk about it, outsiders will also say it." Zhao Changqing took the tea from the white woman's hand, one warm one for his father, one hot one for his mother, and his own was ginger honey water. Zhao Changqing said, "Mother, haven't you noticed how cold my second aunt is to me." ”

"That's because your second aunt is in a bad mood, and you don't want to be picky about everything."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Mother doesn't have to comfort me. Mother thinks about it, my grandmother came over that day, and when I accompanied my grandmother to dinner, she still talked and laughed with me, and she also treated me lightly today. This shows that my grandmother herself didn't feel what was wrong with me, but someone said that I was not by my grandmother's side, and my grandmother felt that it was my fault that caused my aunt to break up, and she blamed me in her heart, so she was cold to me. In fact, there was something wrong with me, it was nothing more than a few words of truth. What's more, if the third cousin doesn't provoke me, I don't bother to say this. The second aunt didn't find the root cause and said that the third cousin was not, but was angry with me and asked me to top the third cousin, otherwise why didn't the third cousin show her face today? ”

"Mother, you see, the old lady personally went to tell the ancestor of the Zhu family about Cousin Teng's study, my mother treats my third cousin like her own daughter, and she has always persuaded us to be good in front of me, where did you say a bad word about your third cousin? Now it's far and near, it's inside and out! "Don't say she didn't say it on purpose, even if she said it on purpose, how old is she! Really, to take such a thing out of anger on a doll? Zhao Changqing sneered in his heart, it seems that the Ling family is still like this, if there is a fault, it is the bad of others, and if there is a good, it will all go to his own family.

After Zhao Changqing finished speaking, he teased Zhao Changning again, and went to the old lady's house.

It is very good to have a smart and clever daughter, who is sensible and solves worries on weekdays, and the key is to help come up with ideas. But the daughter is too smart, and it is difficult to fool. Ling sighed and said to her husband, "Father and mother are really unhappy to separate the family, and it is normal for the two old people to be in a bad mood until now. Changqing is a doll, who would really be angry with her. ”

Zhao Yong gave his wife a lot of face, and didn't say much, just sighed. Ling Shi whispered, "Let's just talk about this. Changqing is our daughter, and no matter how close I am to my niece, I can't kiss my daughter. Mother and sister-in-law, after all, they are Changqing's elders, Changqing has always been clever to think so much, we can't help her to share with other families like this. Close as the eldest brother and the second brother can make trouble to this point, between relatives, there is no friction, and I understand it in my heart. ”

"That's right." Zhao Yong smiled, "You have time to enlighten Changqing, don't call her a little person, she has something in her heart." ”

"I don't know what to do." Ling looked at his son on the kang with a smile, "I sometimes think that the dream that Chang Qing had before was obviously a girl, but he dreamed of a big tree that went straight up to the sky. I remember that the tree was so tall that it was almost as high as it could see, and its branches and leaves towered into the clouds. She has been smart and capable since she was a child, and she may really have great achievements in the future. ”

"Anyway, it's a good dream, what do you want to do so much, as long as the children are safe, our family is fine now."

Ling Shi also felt that life was having a good time, and smiled, "Because it is a good dream, I am happy when I think about it." ”

A few days later, Zhao Changqing went to the General's Mansion again.

Chu Yue inquired with Zhao Changqing, "Sister Qing, your mother gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix siblings for you?" ”

"yes, I only finished the full moon wine last month."

"Isn't it pretty?"

"It's good-looking, my brother is like me, my sister is not like me, they don't look like Sister Chu and Brother Chu."

Chu Yue said with a smile, "When you go to the temple with your father to ask for a hexagram during the New Year, is it just for your younger siblings?" ”

Zhao Changqing said honestly, "My sister was born always crying endlessly, and it was not good to ask the doctor to see it, so my father took me to the temple to ask the master." The master gave the spirit talisman and said that he would not be able to see a man with a foreign surname for a year, and after a year, it would be fine. On that day, the master also gave my brother a name. Sister Chu also went, that master is very spiritual, right? ”

Chu Yue took a bite of the dim sum brought by Zhao Changqing and said, "It looks like a monk who has Taoism, but that great monk has rules, only three hexagrams a day are counted, and two hexagrams are counted for your family." Leaving a hexagram, it was originally what I wanted to calculate, Chu Yu wanted to fight with me again, I didn't fight him, I ran for nothing! ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "If my sister wants to count, just go to Ping'an Temple again." It's not far from there. ”

"I've already been there." Chu Yue was depressed, "As a result, the master said that he was out of the customs and Yunyou, and he had already left." Although there is a master of Xingyuan, I heard that he is also extremely spiritual. I didn't call the great monk to count it twice, and now I don't have the heart to calculate. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Sister and Brother Chu are dragon and phoenix twins, and they were born at the same time, and their lives are probably about the same." ”

"How is this the same, the slightest mistake, the loss of a thousand miles. Chu Yu will make contributions in the future, how can I succeed? Chu Yue said and sighed.

Zhao Changqing joked, "What does that sister want to count?" Isn't it a marriage? ”

Chu Yue laughed and pinched her little round face, "You are young, do you know what the marriage is?" Don't talk nonsense. ”

The two talked for a long time, and at noon Chu Yu came home to take a look at Zhao Changqing, and quipped, "Yo, the beautiful crying sister Qing is here, do you miss your brother?" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Brother Chu is the worst, he laughs at me every time." ”

Chu Yu sat beside Chu Yue with a grin, still holding a horsewhip in his hand, and teased her with a smile, "Where is the joke for you, you look good today." ”

Zhao Changqing blinked beautifully, "Really? I looked in the mirror for a long time when I went out. ”

Chu Yu laughed loudly.

Zhu'er brought fragrant tea, Chu Yu put the horsewhip in his hand, took a sip of tea, and said, "Today I came back from hunting a lot of rabbits and pheasants, and I also caught a few live ones, and I will send two to Sister Qing in a while, and you can take them back to eat." ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Where is the reason to eat and still carry, how embarrassing." ”

Chu Yue smiled, "At a young age, I have learned to be polite." ”

"It's not polite, it's that I'm really thin-skinned." Zhao Changqing teased the brothers and sisters of the Chu family, and asked puzzledly, "Brother Chu, don't you all use bows and arrows to beat rabbits?" Even if you use a bow and arrow, how can you catch it alive? Did you catch it while running? ”

The brothers and sisters of the Chu family almost gave her this stupid thing and laughed, Chu Yu smiled evilly, "Then you start practicing from now on, when you run fast, I will take you to run to catch rabbits." ”

Zhao Changqing knew that he must have said stupid things again, and he was afraid that he would say anything layman's words to make people laugh, so he didn't match Chu Yu's tone, and said, "I asked before I saw it!" I don't believe that Brother Chu and Sister Chu have no teacher! What's so funny! ”

Chu Yue smiled, "Wait until next time we go hunting, I'll call you along, and you can go play with us." However, you have to change into the clothes that boys wear. ”

Zhao Changqing nodded hurriedly, "When I go home, I'll ask my grandmother to help me sew, and I'm learning from my father now." When I'm older, Sister Chu, I'll borrow your horse, and you can teach me to ride a horse, okay? ”

Chu Yu smiled, "You didn't borrow a horse, you even borrowed it with your master." If you want us to teach you how to ride a horse, why don't you come and learn from it. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "I don't learn now, even if I have Sister Chu to teach me, I don't have to worship you as a teacher." ”

Chu Yu drank most of the tea, put the tea cup on the kang table, and smiled, "I haven't thanked you for giving us a birthday gift." You see, I've got it all with me. As he spoke, he pointed it out to Zhao Changqing.

Zhao Changqing said in his heart, I didn't send you. However, since Chu Yu was already narcissistic and thought that he had one of the two purses, Chu Changqing didn't say much.

Chu Yue sneered, "This is the first time a girl has given him a purse, and Chu Yu often wears it." ”

Yue Changqing smiled, "I don't believe it, aren't there any other sisters to give to Brother Chu?" ”

Chu Yu pointed at Chu Yue, "She doesn't even know what needlework is, where can she make a purse?" My sister is so skillful, she was able to make such a good purse last year. ”

Chu Yue smiled, "You don't admit that you are stupid, the embroidery of the purse is so good, how can it be done by Changqing." ”

Chu Yu was surprised, "Didn't Sister Qing do it?" ”

"Of course not." Zhao Changqing said, "I just started to learn needle money now, and I just started to learn to recognize materials. This purse is the material I chose, I picked the pattern, my grandmother made it, and her needlework is also very good. If Brother Chu doesn't dislike it, I'll give you a new one when you celebrate your birthday this year, and then I'll make such a small object by appointment. My grandmother's embroidery is even better than this, and now that she is old and her eyes are not good, she has long since stopped embroidering. However, she will definitely pass on her skill of pressing the bottom of the box to me. ”

Chu Yu was still depressed, and said to Chu Yue, "I originally thought it was made by a fragrant sister, but it turned out to be an old mother's craft." ”

Zhao Changqing crossed his mouth and stretched out his little fat hand like a bun, "If you dislike it, pay me back!" ”

"Say you're a child, where are you going to ask for anything you sent away?" Chu Yu smiled, "Then you can make a good one for me this year." In this way, our birthday gift this year, Sister Qing doesn't have to worry. The second half of the sentence was obviously said to Chu Yue.

Chu Yue smiled, "It's really cheap and good." Asked Zhao Changqing, "Sister Qing, the daughter of the prefect's family gave me a post, inviting me to enjoy the flowers and make poems, will you go?" I'll take you with me. ”

Zhao Changqing didn't want to shake his head directly, "I only know three and a half words, where can I make poems?" ”

Chu Yue was worried, "I'm not good either." ”

Zhao Changqing thought about it and had an idea, "This sister doesn't have to worry, my cousin's sister Ling is very good at making poems, and you saw her last time." Sister Ling is good friends with the prefect's daughter, and in two days my grandmother will take me to Zhu's house to ask for peace to my ancestors, Sister Ling will be there, I will talk to her, and ask her to help you make two songs to deal with when the time comes. She has a good temper, and there is no refusal. ”

Chu Yue said, "Isn't this too troublesome Sister Ling?" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "What's the trouble with this?" Everyone is in the border city, Sister Chu has been here for a short time, and there are not many people who are familiar with her, I entrusted her, and it looks as if you owe her a favor, but in fact, it is easy to get acquainted with it. Cousin Ling is very familiar with the ladies in the city, as long as Sister Chu is good friends with Cousin Ling and asks her to take you, everyone else will be familiar with her. Besides, I quietly told her that I didn't tell Cousin Ling that this was what Sister Chu meant. She also wants to be close to her sister, and besides, even if Cousin Suzu guesses something, she is not a person who can chew her tongue. ”

Chu Yue smiled when she thought about it, she just came, and she was indeed not familiar with the circle of ladies of the civil officials in the border city, so it was good to have such a person to take her around, so she said, "Okay, it's going to trouble Sister Qing." ”

Chu Yu smiled, "I want to thank her for getting some more delicious food for this girl." Girl, how do I think you are fat again after the New Year? ”

Zhao Changqing pointed at Chu Yu, and consciously changed the topic, "Brother Chu's belly is also protruding." ”

Chu Yu was not fooled at all, "Nonsense, I'm just too thin now, and I have to eat two catties of meat every day to replenish my body." If your stomach is not good, let you see, show you my hands and you will know how thin I am. As he spoke, he also stretched out his hand and said, "Chu Yue, your hand is also for Sister Qing to see." ”

Both of them are slender and clean hands, Chu Yu said, "Girl, where are your hands?" ”

Zhao Changqing emphasized, "I'm still young, my grandmother said that children's hands are like this." Bai Chubby Bai Chubby also reached out with a little chubby hand with five meat nests.

The brothers and sisters of the Chu family laughed, Chu Yu quickly pinched it and smiled, "It's so soft that you can't touch the bones." ”

Zhao Changqing waved his small fist angrily and said ruthlessly, "Villain! I'm going to beat you to death someday! ”

Zhao Changqing had lunch at Chu's house, played until the evening and went home, and took the two rabbits and two pheasants that Chu Yu gave her.

Ling laughed at her, "It's just a matter of going to someone else's house to bring some things, and it's the first time I saw you like this, I took it back." ”

"Sister Chu has to give it to me, and she can't refuse. Just tomorrow I will eat stewed rabbit meat, soak some mushrooms and stew together, it is very delicious. Pheasants are raised for two days to cook and drink chicken soup. Zhao Changqing just craved braised rabbit meat and pheasant soup, and asked Ling, "Mother, am I fat?" ”

Ling Shi smiled, "What is this for?" ”

"Brother Chu laughs at me for being fat." Now Zhao Changqing does not shy away from Chu Yu's affairs, and said, "Brother Chu and Sister Chu are also dragon and phoenix twins, and they look very similar, and this time I also asked about my younger brothers and sisters." My younger siblings don't look like each other at all. ”

"That's a coincidence." Ling smiled again, "You are still young, you can only look good when you are fat, and when you are seven or eight years old, you will naturally lose weight." At a young age, don't be hungry like Zhu Xi. ”

"Sister Xi can't eat at all, she is naturally thin, where is she hungry?"

Ling said casually, "Listen to her." Her aunt is like the wind blows down, where anyone is born like this, it is all from starvation. Renyazi bought a girl from a good family, and since she was a child, she didn't let the girl eat enough, and when she was fifteen or sixteen years old, she was as thin as a bamboo pole. "The people of the border city are fierce and never think that thinness is beautiful. Ling said, "Her aunt is also strange, she couldn't suffer this kind of crime in the hands of human teeth, and now she has a daughter." Your sister Xi said that she was a concubine, and she was also a scholarly family, and she had her own future in the future. Why does her aunt still raise her in this way, doesn't she want to raise a good child like herself? ”

For the first time in Zhao Changqing's two lives, he heard that there was such a thing, and he suddenly felt that he had seen and heard, and said, "It's really the biggest in the world, and there are no surprises." ”

The brothers and sisters of the Chu family were also talking about Zhao Changqing, Chu Yue smiled, "In the past, you said that Sister Qing was smart, but I only thought she was innocent and cute. I don't want to be that smart. ”

Chu Yu took a sip of tea and expressed his disapproval of Chu Yue's suspicion of his judgment, "She is a big ghost." ”
