Chapter 94

Zhao Changqing didn't take Second Mrs. Ling to heart, at first she hated Second Mrs. Ling so much that she gritted her teeth, but now she was just tired of it. She really couldn't figure out that there were people like Second Mrs. Ling in the world, wishful thinking who treated others as fools.

Zhao Changqing laughed at Mrs. Ling in front of Ling and Zhao Yong, and let her parents know what to do.

She had other things to do.

One day after dinner, Zhao Changqing went over to discuss with his parents, "Because of Sister Chu's courtesy, my ancestor gave me a lot of good materials. The material is brightly colored, which is very suitable for girls. I thought it would be better to send it everywhere while I was walking for the New Year's gift. ”

Ling Shi was suddenly reluctant and said, "I have shown it to Shopkeeper Feng, they are all extremely rare and good materials, and there is nowhere to buy them if you have money." Let's just keep it for ourselves, who are you going to send it to? It's really born without money. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Our family is doing this business, the clothes are not ordinary, and there are new flowers every year." I can't wear a lot of materials alone, but it's better to share a share of relatives and friends. I thought about it, the eldest sister is buying a dowry and setting aside two horses for the eldest sister. The rest, Sister Chu, Sister Li, Sister Zheng, Sister Feiyun of the patriarch's family, Sister Xiu of Song Qianhu's family, and Sister Zhuo and Sister Ran of the fifth master's family of the head of the house, each divided into two horses. ”

The Ling family was a little distressed, and felt that there was a human relationship, but it was nothing more, and gritted his teeth and emphasized, "Ten taels of silver can't buy a good horse!" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "They are all sisters who make good friends on weekdays, and if I have good things for them, they will naturally miss me." Even if you don't miss me, it's for the sake of friendship between the two families. ”

Zhao Yong has always been a warm-hearted person, and he has always wanted to open up, and said to Ling's family, "Okay, if she wants to send it, she will send it away, and the left and right will be in vain." ”

Ling sighed, "There are wealthy boys like your father and daughter in the family, and our family is not sure which life will be able to save the family foundation." Even if the pattern is renovated every year, this material is also very good, it is a good material for a few years, and now it is given away, and there is nowhere to buy it in the future, you don't regret it. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Mother, don't worry, even if each family sends some, I still have more than a dozen horses left." "It was Mrs. Zhu's generosity that Zhao Changqing could take it to do his favor.

Ling didn't have the heart to speak when he thought of Zhao Changqing's big money, so he simply sent her back to the house, rubbed her temples, and worried at Zhao Yongzhi, "I used to see that she was very good at saving money, why did she suddenly be so extravagant!" How can I be born in the future! ”

Zhao Yong touched his newly grown beard and smiled, "Miss Chu has always taken good care of our daughter, Miss Li is a relative, not to mention, Li Baihu is my old Shangfeng, that Miss Zheng, don't you still expect to ask your brother about the examiner." It's the girls of the patriarch and the head of the house, isn't it good for the family to befriend these two families, let alone Song Qianhu. ”

Ling's heart eased slightly, and sighed, "It's not that I don't know the way, but I really feel distressed when I want to give away this silver." This girl is getting more and more generous. ”

Zhao Yong smiled, "Changqing is willing, don't be reluctant." When the fruit harvest at home is abundant, you have to walk among relatives, which is a white thing. ”

Ling Shi didn't have a good breath and said, "If you ask the old ancestor to know that she is so stupid and generous, you can't give her these good things in the future." ”

Zhao Yong smiled, "Look at what you said, just say that Changqing is stupid and generous." The old ancestor gave her these things all at once, which is not stupid and generous. ”

Ling Shi hurriedly covered her husband's mouth with her hand and said angrily, "It's good to be disrespectful to the elders." "I won't say much more.

Years ago, Little Pear Blossom also brought good news.

Xiao Lihuaer smiled, "Because of the shop again, although the pear has some income, it has just returned to its capital, and it will be next year to really make money." There is still some money left in the shop, and I have counted it. This New Year, each family is not much, Mr. and sister are fifty taels, Lizi himself looks at a shop, he is not a big shopkeeper, but also a small shopkeeper, and he counts two taels a month. If the business is good, there will be rewards. This is not only for pears, the sisters-in-law who help in the shop are the same, when the business is good, everyone is busy, and at the end of the month, the surplus is calculated, if the income is extraordinarily large, I will take out a few taels to give them points. In this way, it can be regarded as more work and more rewards, and there will be energy to do the work. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Not only does it return to its original cost in a year, but it also makes money, not to mention that a new shop has been opened, Sister Lihuaer is really capable." ”

Xiao Lihua'er raised her head and smiled, "I also planted a few little heels to learn to be good, but I want to save face and don't tell you." Otherwise, it's more than that. ”

"There's one more thing I'd like to discuss with you." Xiao Lihuaer said, "In the first year of this year, I didn't have enough experience. However, after this year, I have also practiced. Now our shops are all small shops, one in the east and one in the west, and the shops are rented. People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries. I think so, it will not be difficult to do business in the future, we will allocate a part of the silver every year to save, and strive to buy a shop of our own in three years. In this way, it would be good if we could make the steamed bun shop into a decades-old brand like the Zhu family's steamed bun shop. ”

Little Pear Blossom's eyes are bright and ambitious. Mr. Su and Zhao Changqing are both good.

Not only is the income in the shop good, because Zhao Yong has been promoted to 100 households, he is already kind-hearted, and ordinary people can't find anything wrong, and now with his higher official position, his status in the clan has gradually risen. When the New Year was held in the middle of the clan, Zhao Yong also held a small assistant position, and even the old lady of the patriarch's family also talked a lot with Mrs. Zhao, and asked Mrs. Zhao to have time to talk.

Moreover, this year, Zhao Changqing received several red envelopes more generously than in the past, and when he counted the red envelopes on the fifth night of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Changqing was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth, and he also rewarded Yongfu with an extra tael of silver.

Yongfu smiled, "During the Chinese New Year, the girl had already rewarded me." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "In a few days, everyone will go out to play together." You have been with me for more than half a year, and you have worked hard everywhere to take care of the house properly. When you stay in the metaverse, you can buy what you like if you see it. ”

Yongfu solemnly thanked for the reward.

On this year's Shangyuan Festival, the government still arranges flower buildings.

Ling Teng had already come to ask, and he knew that Zhao Changqing was going to join in the fun, Ling Teng smiled, "That's just right, why don't we go shopping together, there are many people and it will be lively." There are also big sisters, second sisters, and fourth sisters who also go together. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I have already responded to Sister Li and Brother Li." ”

Ling Teng smiled, "What's the matter, it's fun to be lively during the holidays, I don't see Brother Li much on weekdays, so I just take this opportunity to get together." ”

Zhao Changqing had no choice but to respond.

The people of the border city were open, and when they got the archway street, Zhao Changqing was a little stunned when he saw the two men with their faces, and Ling Teng said in a low voice, "Brother-in-law Chen and his brothers and sisters. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Don't tell me earlier." ”

Ling Teng smiled, "It's not too late to say now." ”

When two people meet, it is inevitable that the brothers and sisters will see each other.

There are really more than 20 mouths of the master and servants, but fortunately, the Chen family has already been prepared, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhilu Dao Teng is going to the Denglou to join in the fun, I don't have such talent, but San Lang is also going to the Denglou, I booked a box in a nearby restaurant." If you are willing to go to the Lamp Tower, you can go to the Lamp Tower, and if you don't go, you can play in the box. ”

This arrangement......

Except for Chen Dalang, who has a ghost in his heart, who wants to stay in the box for the holidays.

Zhao Changning spoke very truthfully first, and he asked, "Brother Chen, aren't you going to the Lantern Tower?" Although we don't know how to do poetry riddles, we can also go up with my sister, there are delicious Lantern Festivals and banquets in the Lantern Tower. ”

Chen Dalang coughed lightly, "I won't go." ”

Chen Sanlang smiled and said to his brother, "The eldest brother is already on an errand in the yamen, and he is an adult, so he won't join in the fun." ”

Zhao Changning didn't say anything anymore, he turned to beg Li Mingbao and said, "Brother Li, I won't follow my sister to guess the poem this time, I'll follow you to see the martial arts archery competition, okay?" ”

Li Mingbao smiled, "Of course it's good." ”

Zhao Changning asked Su Bai, "Ah Bai, do you want to be together?" ”

Su Bai said, "I'm with Brother Ateng, Brother Ateng got the Four Treasures of the Study last year, and I also went to open my eyes." ”

After the last, Fourth Sister Ling was not worried about her eldest sister, so she stayed in the restaurant to make a light bulb, and the rest of the people, either civil or martial arts or followers, all went to the lighthouse to join in the fun. This time, Zhao Rong's poems are still among the top three, but Zhao Changqing has no luck last year, she only won a set of four treasures of the study consolation prize. However, Su Bai also got two ink ingots at a young age, although he didn't get a lot more than Ling Teng Chen Sanlang, but thinking about his age, it was also very good.

Ling Teng also met a friend and classmate, not an outsider, they were all surnamed Zhu, Zhu Qing was the eldest son of the Yuan family, and he was Zhao Changqing's cousin. There is also a clansman surnamed Zhu, named Zhu Tang, who is similar in age to Zhu Qing Lingteng, and is the same generation as Zhu Qing, so he is called a cousin.

Zhu Qing and Zhu Tang also came with their sisters, everyone said hello, and the Zhu family said goodbye and left.

Ling Teng, Zhao Changqing and his entourage waited for a while, and after Li Mingbao, Li Mingzhu, and Zhao Changning came out, everyone went to the restaurant to meet Chen Dalang. Sister Ling's face was slightly red, with a touch of shame, Fourth Sister Ling was bored making light bulbs, and when she saw the sisters coming back, she asked with a smile, "How is it, what did you get?" ”

Everyone laughed again, and when it was too late, they went back to their respective homes.

When Ling heard that Chen Dalang had also gone to the Lamp Market, he just smiled, "These children." "Everyone has been young, not to mention that the people in the border city are not strict in terms of male and female defense. Both of them have already made a marriage, and it is not a bad thing to get to know each other better.

Zhao Changning said, "Brother Li got another treasure bow today, but it is majestic." ”

Ling smiled, "You hurry up and go to bed, you have to go to school early tomorrow morning." ”

Zhao Changning was not very happy to go to school, and said, "Mother, can't I go a few days later?" Tomorrow, I want to go to the Lantern Festival with Brother Chu. ”

Ling said, "The Lantern Festival is also a matter of the night, besides, it was Miss Chu who invited your sister to go, but she didn't invite you." ”

Zhao Changning said, "Brother Chu will be there anyway." ”

"That's also at night, you go to school during the day, and you don't have to go to school at night, go to sleep quickly, otherwise you won't have the energy tomorrow morning." After Ling sent Zhao Changning to sleep, he asked Bai Pozi to bring Zhao Changning's schoolbag and read it again, several books of Mongolian studies were in it, and even the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were also put aside.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Mother, don't worry, the rules in the family science are strict, and A-Ning will naturally make great progress if she goes." ”

Ling said, "I feel that I was still a little doll yesterday, and I went to school in a blink of an eye." ”

Zhao Yong smiled, "It's late, Changqing Arong should also go and rest." ”

So the sisters went back to their houses, and went to rest.

On the second day, Zhao Changqing went out to enjoy the lanterns again, Zhao Changning really wanted to follow, and he also pulled Su Bai with him, so Zhao Changqing had to take them. Fortunately, he was very familiar with Chu Yue, and Chu Yue had also seen them, and smiled, "A-Ning and Abai have grown so big." ”

Zhao Changning said seriously, "Sister Chu, Brother A Bai and I both go to school, of course we are adults." ”

Chu Yue smiled, "Yes, you've grown so tall." ”

Zhao Changning saw that Chu Yue praised him for growing taller, so he hurriedly straightened his small chest and made a tall and serious appearance, which made Chu Yue smile again. In contrast, Su Bai was extremely quiet, and his speech was not as childish as Zhao Changning.

Chu Yue just let them play by themselves, and talked to Zhao Changqing, "The materials you gave me a few years ago are all very good, you can keep them for yourself, and give me so much." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "It was given to me by my great-grandmother, and it was sent by my uncle from the imperial capital." I've never seen such good material before, and my sister doesn't forget me when she has good things on weekdays, and I rarely have these rare things. Because it was clothing, I thought it would be good to wear it at the right time, so I divided each of them. Actually, I don't wear such good clothes except when I go to my great-grandmother's house or my sister's house. However, I saw that it was similar to what my sister wears on weekdays, so I gave my sister a few. ”

Chu Yue smiled, "Although I wear good clothes on weekdays, I don't have a few horses to enter the material, among the four horses you gave me, two of them are the materials to enter, do you know the way?" ”

Zhao Changqing chuckled, "The materials my great-grandmother gave me are all very good, only four of them are exceptionally good, I guessed it." I made two of the horses, and the other two for my sister. ”

Chu Yue smiled and pinched Zhao Changqing's face. It is very comfortable to communicate with Zhao Changqing, the Zhao family is ordinary, Zhao Changqing never shy back when he goes to the general's mansion, he is inferior and cowardly, he usually makes snacks and has fresh fruits, so he does some ordinary contacts with Chu Yue. When she has good things, she is not a small person.

Chu Yue thought, Chu Yu has always had a good vision, but not to mention that Zhao Changqing is too young and Chu Yu is too young, and the difference between the families is troublesome. Liang Qingyuan's father is so good that his father has the grace to save his life, not to mention, Liang Qingyuan has grown up together in his own family since he was a child, and he has a lot of friendship. Zhao Changqing's own conditions are not good, he said, he is literate in reading, female celebrity cooking, and he is also familiar with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. There is only one son of Chu Yu in the family, and depending on his mother's intentions, he must be willing to marry Chu Yu to a daughter of a high family.

Moreover, from Zhao Changqing's own point of view, it can be seen that Zhao Changqing has no intention of being male or female towards Chu Yu at all.

Of course, this may also have something to do with Zhao Changqing's age.

Chu Yu is a big bastard, Sister Qing is only a few years old, I really don't know when he moved the thief's heart!

Chu Yue was thinking wildly in her head, and when she arrived at the archway street, she got out of the car and went to the lamp market with Liang Qingyuan, Chu Yu invited Zhao Changqing, Zhao Changning, and Su Bai to pick up the star pavilion to eat delicious food. After eating a good meal, everyone will go to the lamp market together.

This time, the wine I drank was not rosedew, but pear blossom white.

Chu Yu found that Zhao Changqing was a little drunkard, as long as he tasted it, he could know the beauty of different wines. Chu Yu sighed, "Mo is not the womb of a drunkard." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Reincarnation is also a wine fairy, how can you say that you are an alcoholic?" ”

Chu Yu gave her two jars of pear blossom white, and Zhao Changqing said, "I have the wine sent by Li Gongzi at home, it is Tusu wine, it tastes very good, and I have to taste at least five years old wine." ”

Chu Yu asked quietly, "Li Mingbao sent you?" He often corresponded with Zhao Changqing, and he has always been attentive, and he also knows the several families with whom Zhao Changqing interacts. What's more, Li Mingbao saw Zhao Changqing's stupid appearance, Chu Yu had seen it, unless he was a blind man, otherwise, it was really difficult to pretend that he didn't know what to do!

"No, it's Li Gongzi of the imperial capital, Li Gongzi's family and Sister Zheng's family are world friends, he came to the border city to do business, he is not familiar with the place, doesn't my family have a silk shop, it just so happens that Li Gongzi also wants to do a clothing business, so I will introduce my shopkeeper to him." Zhao Changqing tasted the pear blossom white, clear and fragrant, and it was really not ordinary.

As soon as Chu Yu heard it, he sensed the difference inside, and said with a smile, "This thing is unusual, how prosperous the imperial capital is, what kind of business is not easy to do?" Instead, he had to travel thousands of miles from the imperial capital to the border city, which shows that he is not doing small business. Since you are doing a big business, your shop is limited, how can I ask you about it? ”

In terms of pattern, Zhao Changqing can't compare with Chu Yu, she thought about it, but still didn't understand what Chu Yu meant, and said, "Li Gongzi is in the fur business, of course it's better to come to the border city." He must have found my family without acquaintances in the border city, it is Zheng Yushi, and his family does not do business. Don't look at Zheng Yushi as a serious imperial history, speaking of which, his understanding of the border city is not necessarily better than that of us who live in the border city. ”

Chu Yu smiled, "You only know the practice of small business, the big business in the border city, you haven't touched the door yet." ”

Zhao Changqing was curious, "What kind of business is considered big business?" ”

Chu Yu smiled, "Let's not talk about this first, it is Li Gongzi, who has not only traveled from the imperial capital to the border city, but also is familiar with Zheng Yushi." Zheng Yushi's hometown of Shanxi, from an ordinary background, Zheng Yushi has been in Jiangnan all these years, even if he has a world friend, he is not in the imperial capital, and Li Gongzi is most likely the son of his colleagues. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "If you don't hit it, it's not far away." I heard Sister Zheng say that Li Gongzi's father served as Hanlin in the court. I also wonder that Master Hanlin can also make wine, Sister Zheng said that this is called yuppie. ”

Chu Yu smiled, "Hanlin is a place to compile books, and those who can enter Hanlin are extremely knowledgeable people. In addition to compiling books and doing knowledge, the officials in it usually do poems, enjoy flowers, drink wine and play the piano, which is an elegant thing. If you want to say that you like to make wine, ......" Chu Yu pondered for a moment, sandwiched a chopstick to Zhao Changqing to steam fish, and said, "There is one who is very famous for making wine, and even His Majesty has praised it." ”

Zhao Changqing exclaimed, "Brother Chu doesn't even know about the imperial capital? ”

"This is not an uncommon thing, you think, Your Majesty has praised the wine made by Li Hanlin, that is a beautiful talk." Chu Yu didn't talk much about the Li family with Zhao Changqing, but quipped, "Alas, Gongzi Li specially sent you wine, you are quite familiar with him, right?" ”

"What is familiar, I have met once, I don't understand business, and he is also familiar with my shopkeeper." Zhao Changqing smiled, "I was also surprised that Gongzi Li gave me wine this time." Actually, he mainly gave New Year's gifts to Sister Zheng's family, and I took it by the way. ”

Chu Yu smiled, "Li Gongzi didn't forget to give you wine, but he hasn't forgotten you, does he have a shop in the border city?" ”

Zhao Changqing said, "I heard that the shop was opened." ”

Chu Yu asked, "Do you know where the Dao is?" ”

"I don't know what to do."

Chu Yu smiled, "Then you go back and ask, and give me a letter then." ”

Zhao Changqing was a very shrewd person, and she couldn't help asking, "You don't recognize Li Gongzi, why do you ask this?" ”

Chu Yu sold a pass, "I'll tell you later." ”

Zhao Changqing pouted, if you don't say it, you won't say it! Hearing a bang, Zhao Changqing hurriedly turned around, Zhao Changning stabbed his head on the table, the wine in his hand spilled, Su Bai's little face flushed, and he hurriedly helped Zhao Changning's head.

Zhao Changqing was shocked, "A-Ning, ouch, you kid!" How much alcohol have you drunk! She was already very strong, and in a hurry, she directly lifted Zhao Changning out of the chair with one hand. Chu Yu hurriedly said, "Hold it down, hold it down, don't drag it like this." Rescued Zhao Changning from mid-air, and called someone to send sobering soup.

Su Bai also drank a lot, and was poured two bowls of sobering soup, Su Bai's sour teeth were all poured, and he had a bitter face, "Sister Qing, I'm really not drunk." ”

Zhao Changqing said with a straight face, "If you drink so much wine without seeing it, you will have to be spanked for a while!" ”

Su Bai's face turned even redder, this time he was ashamed. He's only two years younger than Sister Qing, okay!

Because Zhao Changning was greedy for cups, the lamp market couldn't be browsed, so Zhao Changqing had to take Zhao Changning and Su Bai home in advance. Zhao Changning was so drunk that he even relied on someone to hug him downstairs, Chu Yu was extremely careful, even if Zhao Changqing was strong, he didn't ask Zhao Changqing to hug him, he held Zhao Changning in one hand, and said good things to Zhao Changqing for Zhao Changning, "Children, there are a few people who are not greedy for alcohol, and it will be fine in the future." ”

Zhao Changqing snorted, his eyes were white, "It's okay to drink a few more glasses of that amount of alcohol, and if you don't drink enough and get drunk, you just don't have to smoke!" ”

Chu Yu smiled, "It can be seen that it is really the eldest sister, and the younger sister controls A-Ning Abai's appearance, which is so majestic." ”

"Okay, I don't blame you, don't flatter." Zhao Changqing is not angry.

Chu Yu smiled, "It's just that I'm not good, I didn't pay attention to the two little guys." "I don't know if Zhao Changqing is intentional or unintentional, when he comes out of this big festival, he always has a little heel. Although he is the future brother-in-law, Chu Yu doesn't say it on his lips, and he can't show it on his face, so he still has some complaints in his heart. On weekdays, I think Zhao Changqing is very smart, why is he stupid now? Although he prides himself on meeting Zhao Changqing's marriage conditions: ordinary people (of course, his family is slightly better, but it is better than a broken family), the family is reasonable (anyway, Chu Yu feels confident that he can handle his parents), and he is also diligent (no doubt). He also wanted to poke the window paper, and he was worried about scaring Zhao Changqing, after all, the girl was still young, but she seemed to be starting to grow up. According to Chu Yu's meticulous visual inspection, there was a little bulging in front of him! Oh, I'm really anxious, like a small sapling, guarding for many years and finally coming to the harvest!

While the two were talking, when they arrived at the entrance of the archway, Chu Yu sent a few of them home first.
