Chapter 53
Ling Teng does have first-class eloquence and skill.
His vision is much longer than that of his mother and sister, and Ling Teng clearly knows that family affection is more important than a dozen taels of silver.
What's more, Third Sister Ling should have learned a lesson.
Mrs. Ling has always been very fond of this grandson, Zhao Changqing waited in the study for a while, and Ling Teng invited Mrs. Ling over.
Master Ling smiled, "What do you want to tell me, and you are still so mysterious?" He has always liked Zhao Changqing, and when he saw that Zhao Changqing was also there, he couldn't help but smile, "You two brothers and sisters are close." ”
Ling Teng invited his grandfather to sit down, and said with a smile, "There is a small matter, if you want to tell your grandfather, you have to ask your grandfather to do an arbitration." ”
Mrs. Ling was in a good mood and smiled, "Isn't it a brother and sister arguing?" You don't have to ask, it must be Brother Teng, you are not you, you are older than the Qing girl, you should let my sister. ”
Ling Teng smiled, "I got the piano that my grandfather lent me, and I got it back." ”
Mrs. Ling asked, "Don't you need it?" ”
Ling Teng said, "What I want to tell my grandfather is related to the piano. Then, Ling Teng told his grandfather about the matter.
Mrs. Ling's eyes fell on Zhao Changqing, angry and funny, and said, "Miss Qing, where did you come up with such a method, but you got your grandfather's qin and chess to you." I thought Brother Teng had been using it all along? "In Mrs. Ling's opinion, this is not a big deal, but Zhao Changqing is young and eccentric.
Zhao Changqing's face was full of coquettishness, and he said with a hint of disgust, "Grandfather still said it." Where is Cousin Teng using it, it is obvious that Cousin Teng borrowed it for the third cousin. My grandfather didn't know what to say, and my third cousin showed off to me many times. I'm not convinced, am I not my grandfather's granddaughter? I learned the piano earlier than my cousin, and my grandfather also knew that I didn't have a piano? Why did you have a piano and just lend it to your cousin? Isn't my granddaughter a layer away from my granddaughter? It can be seen that my grandfather usually said that he hurt me is false. ”
"I just couldn't get angry, so I got the idea." Zhao Changqing curled his mouth and said, "It's strange to blame the third cousin herself, she proposed to play chess and gamble on the lottery, and she insisted on gambling all the way, and as a result, she lost all the jewelry on her body to me, can she still fail to pay the bill?" Paying off debts is a matter of course! What am I doing wrong? The third cousin didn't have any money, and was willing to take something to settle the account, and I just accepted something at her request, which couldn't be more reasonable. Now the second aunt called the third cousin to my house to make trouble, and kept saying that I had cheated the third cousin. The conscience of heaven and earth, if the debtors are like the second aunt and the third cousin, then the debt collectors simply don't live! ”
"Today, my grandfather simply gave us a critique and returned my reputation."
Mrs. Ling smiled, "What a girl, how much silver did you win your cousin?" The sum of her body is only a few dozen taels, and my piano and chess are more than a few hundred taels. ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "If my grandfather feels sorry for something, I just ask my cousin to settle the account with me first, and I will naturally return my grandfather's things." ”
Mrs. Ling smiled, "If you want to come back, I don't know what kind of eccentric granddaughter doesn't hurt your reputation." ”
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'll give it to my grandfather, and my grandfather will send me again, I will say that my grandfather and mist are kind, and the example of the elders is also." Zhao Changqing quickly answered, and Hui Huang's appearance caused Mrs. Ling to laugh. Mrs. Ling pondered for a moment and sighed, "These things actually make you two juniors worry about it. He also knows a little about his daughter-in-law's temper.
Mrs. Ling had a sour attack and said, "Don't talk about these mundane things in the study, go to my outer hall and talk about them." Brother Teng, call your father and mother and your three sisters together. Changqing, you follow me and make it clear. ”
Mrs. Ling has lived for decades, and he still has some wisdom in life.
Mrs. Ling said to Zhao Changqing, "You girl is a little clever, but don't use it on your relatives in the future." Thirty taels is not a small amount, and it is easy to hurt relatives. ”
Zhao Changqing said, "It's not worth it if relatives are so easy to hurt." ”
Mrs. Ling choked, first annoyed, but seeing Zhao Changqing looking at him calmly, Mrs. Ling's anger disappeared a little, and he said softly, "You are still young and have a fierce temperament. Changqing, in this world, don't talk about kinship, close to husband and wife, father and son, mother and daughter, look indestructible, in fact, they all need to be carefully maintained. If it's time to retreat, take a step back. What should be allowed can be made for a long time. ”
Zhao Changqing said, "I agree with my grandfather's words. However, it is good for both sides to maintain any affection, I take a step back, and the other party takes a step back. I let it for a while, and the other party also let it for a while. In this way, it can last for a long time. If you just blindly ask me to back down, heaven and earth will be unfair. ”
Mrs. Ling said, "Sometimes, temporary concessions can be exchanged for going further in the future. ”
Zhao Changqing said, "The lesser of the two evils and the lesser of the two benefits." It depends on the value and the value. ”
I didn't want a little girl to be so eloquent, so Mrs. Ling asked, "Then do you think it's worth it this time?" ”
Zhao Changqing said, "I am only a few years old, and I am not as long as my grandfather and my second aunt have spent together. My grandfather thinks it's worth it, it's worth it; If you don't think it's worth it, it's not worth it. ”
Mrs. Ling smiled, "I'm not convinced." ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "The saints all say that only women and villains are difficult to raise." It can be seen that the saints do not deceive. ”
Mrs. Ling laughed.
Second Mrs. Ling's family came in.
Greeting Mrs. Ling in turn, Second Uncle Ling smiled, "I heard my father's laughter outside, why was my father happy." Say it and tell your son to follow suit. ”
Mrs. Ling glanced at Third Sister Ling and said, "It's a pleasure to hear." said that the third sister gambled with the Qing girl, and the jewelry on her body was lost, and the IOUs were all typed, and now she has to pay the bill! The girl asked me to judge, I don't know if there is such a thing! ”
Second Mrs. Ling hurriedly said, "But a child's joke, where can it be true?" ”
Mrs. Ling was immediately furious and shouted, "This can't be true! What to do! In the past, I saw that you understood everything and how to discipline the child! I told her to play chess with her sister! It's just a matter of winning or losing! How I teach you! What is sincerity! What is faith! Now I have learned the villainous behavior of the outside! I don't even dare to admit it if I lose! What have I done? Raise these unscrupulous descendants! ”
The old man was suddenly furious, and all the children and grandchildren got up from their chairs. Second Mrs. Ling was even more sweaty on her forehead, and said again and again, "Father, father...... This...... I really can't complain about the third sister! ”
"It's really funny, don't blame her, then take the IOU and go to the yamen to ask the prefect, who is to blame!" Mrs. Ling's voice turned low, and a pair of old eyes swept over his son and daughter-in-law, "I don't know even more, who gave you the courage to take the ancestral things to settle the bill!" You have me in your eyes! There are ancestors! ”
There was a row of people standing below, Ling Second Uncle, Ling Second Wife, Ling Third Sister, all of them had panicked faces, but Zhao Changqing and Ling Teng had the same faces.
There was silence in the room for a while, and the pin drop could be heard.
Second Uncle Ling couldn't help it first, and said, "It's all the children's, and you shouldn't disturb your father." Girl, how much money does the third sister still owe you? I paid you back for her. ”
Zhao Changqing said, "It was originally thirty taels, but later my cousin bought flowers, but the money was not enough, so I advanced two hundred yuan for her." Therefore, a total of thirty taels and two pieces of silver, and she repaid me twelve taels and three denarii, and I still owe seventeen taels and nine denarii. Later, the qin chess was used to offset the seventeen taels and nine dollars, and at that time, it was said that the chess pieces were worth seven taels and nine dollars, and the qin was worth ten taels. A few days ago, my second aunt took my cousin to my house to get the piano and came back, and now my uncle only needs to give me ten taels of silver. If the second aunt and cousin want chess pieces again, then they have to give me seventeen taels and nine dollars. ”
Second Uncle Ling didn't know much about this matter, he thought it was just a few taels of silver, and he didn't want his daughter to owe his niece so much money. Second Uncle Ling immediately scolded Third Sister Ling angrily, "Evil beast, how do you owe your sister these silvers!" ”
Third Sister Ling's eyes were red with fright, she cried with a whimper, shook her head and said, "I don't know what to do." said that it was good to have fun casually, who knew that Sister Qing would take it seriously. ”
Zhao Changqing sneered, "It's nice to say, just have fun!" I didn't just lose to my cousin! My cousin saw it at the time! On the IOU that my sister wrote to me, there is also my cousin's handprint! Uncle didn't believe it, just ask my cousin! Save your cousin from grievances! ”
Third Sister Ling had already prepared for the quality of splashing talent, she wiped the tears on her face, and said loudly, "They are all sisters, aren't they just having fun!" How can you be so unreasonable! The piano and chess have called you to do it for three years! I've got all the private rooms for you! What else are you going to do! ”
Zhao Changqing didn't let him go, his eyes widened and he said, "What should I do!" There is no justice today, let's see you at the yamen! Don't spill with me! I, Zhao Changqing, am really not afraid of this! If you want to rely on my account, you go out and inquire about it! ”
"I'm so good at saying it, you don't know how to lift up like this! Just tear your face! Who's afraid of whom! Zhao Changqing sneered, "I don't believe it, I can't cure you shrew!" ”
Third Sister Ling had already given Zhao Changqing a long time ago, and when she saw that Zhao Changqing was even more open-minded than her, her aura suddenly weakened, and she pressed Zhao Changqing down. Second Mrs. Ling was born in a serious manner, and couldn't help but step forward to support her daughter, and said, "You are a younger sister, and you actually accuse your cousin like this!" You are also a literate person, and your mother is a reasonable person, how did she teach you! Yes! How to teach you! How dare you be so presumptuous in front of your elders! Who gave you the guts! You little girl, I really have to teach you a good job today! ”
Second Mrs. Ling's thin and cold lips closed rapidly, and time seemed to go back in an instant, Zhao Changqing seemed to see the mean mother-in-law and the picky sister-in-law in her previous life, even if she took out her heart, liver and lungs, she couldn't teach this family to be satisfied. With endless ridicule, there is no end to the life of eternal grievances. The uncontrollable anger engulfed Zhao Changqing, the pain in his head that seemed to be about to explode, and an uncontrollable force gushed out, and Zhao Changqing suddenly let out a long roar.
Second Mrs. Ling's voice stopped abruptly, no, she was still talking, her mouth was still opening and closing, but she couldn't hear her own voice anymore.
