Zhao Changqing's praiser did a good job, and he was very well received. Even when the Ling family went out, some people either complimented or inquired about Zhao Changqing, the Ling family was modest in his mouth, and he was really happy in his heart, and he was in a good mood with a smile for several days.

However, Zhao Changqing, because of Mr. Su's teaching, is very calm, very humble to the outside world, and does not show any smugness. Seeing that she was so stable at a young age, the people of the time had a higher evaluation of her.

Even Mrs. Chu said, "It's a pity that she came from a mediocre background, otherwise she would be a good girl." ”

Chu Yue smiled, "I said that Sister Qing was good, but my mother was reluctant to call her a praiser." ”

Mrs. Chu smiled, "Although you often come and go, she is young, what if there is a mistake?" This kid is rarely steady. ”

Chu Yu retorted, "Little girl." ”

Chu Yue smiled, "Who is it easy for our mother to praise, you will demolish Sister Qing." ”

Chu Yu peeled an orange and said idly, "I'm telling the truth, just a little girl, where is it stable or not?" Why can't I see that she is steady? ”

Mrs. Chu smiled, "What do you know?" This person's temperament is natural, he was steady when he was young, and he is naturally stable when he grows up. If you get rid of the naughty when you are a child, you will not be much better when you are older. What, you don't like her? I think every time she comes to our house, you have to join in the fun. ”

Chu Yu ate the orange slowly, disapproving, "I was a beautiful doll when I was a child, but it's okay." The daughters of the rest of my father's subordinates came to look for Ah Yue, where did I get better, it would not be good for people to misunderstand. ”

Mrs. Chu saw that her son had his own measure, so she didn't say more.

Zhao Changqing didn't know that even the Chu family had discussed her, she received Zheng Miaoying's post and was about to go to the appointment.

Ling Shi looked at his daughter and said with a smile, "It's not that there are new good jewelry, and it's too plain to wear some of them." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "The dress is newly cut this year, and the golden hairpin is also newly made for me by my mother, and it is not plain." Mother don't worry, Zheng Yushi has always been honest, Sister Zheng is very plain in dress, and I don't have a good past. ”

The Ling family had seen Zheng Jiaying, thought for a moment, and then smiled, "This also makes sense, go ahead." ”

Zheng Miaoying still greeted her in the atrium, and after seeing Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Zheng, Zheng Miaoying invited Zhao Changqing to talk in her room.

Zhao Changqing brought two small cans of hawthorn sauce made by himself as souvenirs, Zheng Miaoying smiled, "A few days ago, according to the recipe you gave, I made hawthorn tangerine peel pills, and my grandmother eats them on weekdays, which is very good." ”

Yahuan brought refreshments, Zhao Changqing took a sip of flower tea with a smile, and said, "Sister Zheng used to live in the south, and the border city was in the north, so she ate more meat. You have only been here for a short time, and you may not be able to eat and drink. Hawthorn appetizing also helps digestion, so it doesn't hurt to eat some on weekdays. ”

Zheng Miaoying smiled, "Now it's a little doctor's tone." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's still very shallow." ”

Zheng Miaoying said, "It's something to call you this time." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Do you remember Brother Li?" Zheng Miaoying smiled, "He sent someone to send a lot of things to the border city, including two jars of wine and some southern fruits, but they were named and sent to your family, because they were sent to my house together, it just so happened that we may not have seen each other for a long time, so I just called you over, let's play for a day, and I can give you things." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Li Gongzi is really polite, he just did it at that time." ”

Zheng Miaoying smiled, "Anyway, since he sent it, you can take it." Brother Li's father made wine, which is famous in the whole emperor. ”

Zhao Changqing asked, "Isn't Gongzi Li's family an official?" "Is it winemaking?

Zheng Miaoying smiled, "Uncle Li is Hanlin, this is also a yuppie." ”

Zhao Changqing admired it very much, and said, "Oh, that's the same as Uncle Zheng, it's the same as Uncle Zheng's master Jinshi!" ”

Zheng Miaoying smiled, "My father's ranking in the imperial examination is not better than Uncle Li's, Uncle Li is an official in Hanlin, and he is very noble." ”

Zhao Changqing praised, "That's also amazing, my grandfather is just a showman, and he took many years to pass the exam." ”

Zheng Miaoying said, "The imperial examination is really half based on knowledge, and half on luck. ”

The two talked for a while, and when they said goodbye, Zhao Changqing called Laifu to find a car again to bring two jars of wine and two baskets of fresh fruits home.

Because the fruit is rare, the Zhao family feels fresh, and the Ling family smiled, "The things in the realm of the Southern Barbarians are strange, it is difficult to transport them from so far away, what kind of fruit is this, I don't even recognize it." ”

Mrs. Zhao is a little old, well-informed, and smiled, "This big round ball is called grapefruit, and the smaller one is Huangguo, and when we have dinner, let's try it together." ”

Now the Ling family has more and more respect for the old lady, and flattered with a smile, "It's still an old lady, I don't recognize any of them." ”

Mrs. Zhao said, "I also ate it once or twice when I was young, the south is hot and humid, which is different from ours here, and it is shipped all the way, and the price is not cheap." Pick some and send them to your in-laws' wives to taste. ”

Zhao Changqing changed into homely clothes and came over, and said with a smile, "This fruit is rare, and there are two jars of wine, don't look at the jar is not big, but it is seriously brewed by Brother Li's father." Brother Li's father is Master Hanlin. ”

"Oh, Gongzi Li turned out to be the son of the old man of Hanlin!" Ling Shi praised again and again, and asked, "Does Master Hanlin still make wine?" ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Sister Zheng said that this is a yuppie, like the old men of Hanlin, some love flowers and some love wine, how elegant." ”

There are many wineries in the border city to make wine, where will the Ling family feel that they are elegant. Only this happened to Master Hanlin, Ling Shi agreed with his daughter's point of view, and said solemnly, "Then this wine can't be drunk easily, send it to your cousin in two pots, the wine brewed by Master Hanlin, let him taste it, dip some luck with Wenqu Xing, and be admitted to Master Jinshi in the future!" ”

Zhao Changqing couldn't help laughing, "My cousin must thank his mother for winning the Jinshi." ”

Ling smiled, "Thank you for me, I also hope that he is well." It's a good draw. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "We don't see many fruits in the south, and although the border cities are sold, they are also very expensive." Just now it's time to start giving New Year's gifts, put a few in the middle, relatives and friends to taste. ”

Ling knew that Zhao Changqing had always been a generous temper, and smiled, "That's good." ”

Before the Zhao family could send a New Year's gift to Second Uncle Ling's house, it was Second Uncle Ling's family who came over to give the New Year's gift first.

Since Zhao Changqing became the praiser of Chu Yue and the ceremony, the second Mrs. Ling sent her niece back home a few years ago, prepared the New Year's gift early, and when Ling Teng rested in school, she rushed to Zhao's house with her family.

Now, Second Mrs. Ling's attitude towards Zhao Changqing is a big change of 360 degrees, and she doesn't say much good things about Zhao Changqing at home, and she said to her husband in private, "You still have vision, Miss Qing is really getting more and more promising." Now that I'm out of the road, when I hear people talk about her, they are full of praise. ”

The niece has a future, and Second Uncle Ling is naturally happy, and teases, "It's rare." ”

Second Mrs. Ling glanced at her husband, "I'm not blind. Now I've turned around, and it's all a misunderstanding, hey, I'm an elder, don't I even have this kind of open-mindedness. I figured it out, our Aten doesn't even have a brother, and in the future, he will have to pick up two rooms on his shoulders, and the burden on his body is heavy, so I have to find him a daughter-in-law who knows the roots and is capable. ”

Second Uncle Ling smiled, "Don't mention this in your heart, the children are still young, and Ah Teng is also the time when it is important to study, don't let him be distracted by these things." ”

Mrs. Ling Er responded positively, and she was extra careful to prepare the New Year's gift for the Zhao family.

Although Second Uncle Ling's family was earlier than in previous years, the Ling family was also very happy, and went to meet Mrs. Zhao first, and the group went to the Ling family's house to talk.

Second Uncle Ling asked, "Isn't my brother-in-law at home?" ”

Ling smiled, "I've been busy all day, and I've given Song Qianhu a New Year's gift today, and I guess it will take a while to come back." ”

Second Mrs. Ling smiled, "It's a good thing to be busy. ”

Yahuan brought the refreshments, and Ling smiled, "He is busy with something, and he is busy when he has nothing to do." Aten's school is about to take the exam, why didn't he review his homework at home? ”

Ling Teng smiled, "I study more solidly on weekdays, but if I don't spend half a day on this day, my grandfather also calls me to combine work and rest on weekdays." Auntie, don't worry, I know it. ”

Ling has always been pleased with this nephew, and smiled, "That's good." After asking Third Sister Ling a few more words, she asked Second Mrs. Ling with a smile, "I heard Changqing say that Miss Liang is a guest at the second sister-in-law's house, why didn't the second sister-in-law bring Miss Liang over?" I'm not out of here. ”

Second Mrs. Ling smiled, "This is in Layue, and seeing that the New Year is coming, her mother sent a letter asking her to go back, and I can't keep her anymore, so I will send your second brother to send her back." ”

Ling smiled, "This is also how it should be." ”

Second Mrs. Ling obviously didn't say anything more about Sister Liang's interest, she praised the Zhao family sisters, especially Zhao Changqing, who was called a kind and warm, and took Zhao Changqing's hand and praised him from head to toe, "The more you breathe, I thought you were a little doll at first, and you were a big girl in a blink of an eye." "Said to Ling's family, "My sister was a handsome person when she was young, and when she came to Changqing, she added a more word than her sister back then." "This is not exactly a praise for Zhao Changqing, Zhao Changqing is indeed outstanding.

Ling smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law Mo praises her so much, she is very ordinary, and many people's ladies are better than her." "Of course, his daughter is still much stronger than Third Sister Ling, even if Zhao Changqing is not dressed up with makeup, just such a homely skirt will compare the well-dressed Third Sister Ling to three streets.

"Ouch, I often hear people mention Miss Qing when I go out now, and they all praise her. My second aunt also had a light on her face. Second Mrs. Ling smiled, "I heard that Miss General Mansion and Lu Li are the praisers made by our Qing girl, aren't they?" "Due to the different classes, Mrs. Ling's news is much slower. This is also one of the reasons why Second Mrs. Ling immediately decided to abandon Sister Liang, Sister Liang can cook again, and she is not familiar with these official eunuchs! Zhao Changqing is different, he has a friendship with Miss General's Mansion, and he will be able to help his son in the future!

Ling smiled, "It's just a coincidence." ”

Second Mrs. Ling gossiped and asked, "Changqing, what is Miss General's etiquette, is it lively?" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I haven't been a praiser before, and I can't be nervous, where can I care about whether it's hot or not, but I've been afraid in my heart, for fear that something will go wrong." Fortunately, God blessed, she didn't live up to Sister Chu's trust. ”

Second Mrs. Ling smiled and sighed, "You are a capable child when you are young, better than your sisters." In the year after tomorrow, your third sister and Lu, although we can't compare with the general's mansion, we also have to do a ceremony, and then I invite you to be a praiser, okay? ”

Zhao Changqing smiled and dealt with Second Mrs. Ling, "This is the second aunt who likes me, of course it's good." ”

Zhao Rong knew that Mrs. Ling was snobbish, and when she saw this situation, she added fuel to the fire, "Mother, don't we have fresh fruits from the south in our family, why don't you take it out and ask your uncle, aunt, cousin and cousin to taste it together." ”

Ling smiled, "Yes, you children still have a good memory." If you don't mention it, I forgot about it. Busy asking Bai Pozi to cut the grapefruit, and explained the reason to the Zhao family, Ling smiled, "This fruit is just rare, is there still two jars of wine, it is said that the master of Hanlin in the imperial capital personally brewed it." As soon as I heard it, no one shouted, and I was thinking about giving some to Brother Teng first, and after drinking it during the New Year, I would also get some of the gentleman of Master Hanlin, and I would take the lead in the imperial examination in the future. ”

Second Mrs. Ling sighed in amazement, "When did my sister recognize such a great person, if it is convenient, can you ask Brother Teng to come over and ask for peace or something." ”

Ling smiled, "People are in the imperial capital, Hanlin Academy is the yamen of the imperial capital, and the officials in it are all Jinshi masters." ”

Ling Teng explained to his mother, "After the announcement of the Spring Festival, in addition to the top three, the rest of the Jinshi will also take the exam, and those with the highest grades will enter Hanlin. If the grades are not good, they will be directly released as officials. Those who can enter Hanlin are all well-educated people. ”

Second Mrs. Ling understood a little more at this time, and became more and more happy, and said, "That's really amazing, the wine brewed by Wenqu Xing." Thank you sister for thinking about Ateng, the title of Ateng's gold list in the future, I asked him to kowtow to my sister. ”

Ling smiled, "Just such a nephew, I naturally think of Ah Teng." ”

The Ling family was absolutely sincere to Ling Teng, she thought of something, so she said to Zhao Changqing, "Didn't you say that the son of the Zheng Yushi family was also studying in the official school. You are familiar with Miss Zheng, you have met Miss Zheng, and you have asked Miss Zheng about it, what are the tricks of the official examination? Your cousin is going to take the exam next year. ”

Zhao Changqing really didn't expect Ling to mention this, even if she was reluctant, she didn't refuse, and said with a smile, "Okay, when I see Sister Zheng again, I'll ask her to ask Gongzi Zheng." ”

Second Mrs. Ling was overjoyed, and at this time, she couldn't care about the past festival with Zhao Changqing, held Zhao Changqing's hand, and said with a happy eyebrow, "That's really good, Changqing, my aunt will entrust you with this matter!" ”

Zhao Changqing's face remained unchanged, and he still smiled calmly, "I didn't expect it before, otherwise I wouldn't have to say it to my aunt, I would have inquired with Sister Zheng a long time ago." With my cousin's talent, there will be no problem in enrolling. However, if you can be familiar with some exam procedures, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Hearing Zhao Changqing say this, Second Mrs. Ling's eyes were definitely closer to Zhao Changqing than at her own daughter, Third Sister Ling, and her laughter was high-pitched, and she said, "If you don't say that people who study are knowledgeable, this is true!" Look at your niece and you'll know the way! ”

Second Mrs. Ling praised Zhao Changqing more and more in heaven and on earth, and the Ling family really couldn't listen to it anymore, and said with a smile, "Changqing will take your sisters to your house to play." ”

Second Mrs. Ling smiled, "Ah Teng let's go together, I have something to say to your aunt." In fact, she didn't have anything to say to the Ling family, and sent her son over together, just to make the two closer. Of course, when the children were gone, she had to ask the Ling family about the situation of Zheng Yushi's family.

Second Uncle Ling's family had lunch at Zhao's house, and Fang Huan left happily.

Second Mrs. Ling couldn't help but say to her husband in the car, "You still have a vision, and the young lady is really capable." ”

Second Uncle Ling chuckled, "Be quiet." ”

Second Mrs. Ling pursed her lips and smiled, full of planning, "Let's talk about it when we go home." ”

When she got home, Mrs. Ling didn't tell her husband how Zhao Changqing was, she pulled her son first and asked, "How are you playing with your sisters?" You, as a brother, let them go. ”

A smart person like Ling Teng would not be able to feel the earth-shaking changes his mother had in Zhao Changqing, he smiled, "Mother doesn't know that my sisters and I are the best." Don't say that Sister Qing's sister Rong is young, even if it's the big sister and the second sister, I will take care of them. ”

Second Mrs. Ling also knew that her son had always been sensible, so she pursed her lips and smiled, "I'll rest assured." I couldn't help but ask, "So what are you all playing?" ”

"Just talking for a while, look at Sister Qing's newly painted fish, which is better than before."

Second Mrs. Ling smiled and said, "Your aunt has asked her husband to teach her since she was a child, and she is smart and clever, not only can she read calligraphy and painting, but she also interacts with the daughters of official eunuchs on weekdays. I inquired with your aunt, and the Zheng Gongzi I talked about today who is studying official studies is the son of the Zheng Yushi family. Zheng Yushi is a serious Jinshi background, and then ask Changqing to introduce you to each other, if you can get the Yushi master to love you, what are you worried about in the future? ”

Ling Teng was full of helplessness and said, "Sister Qing is just a girl, and she is familiar with Miss Zheng, so just help me ask." Where would she recognize Zheng Gongzi? ”

Second Mrs. Ling raised her thin eyebrows, and said as a matter of course, "Anyway, Changqing is familiar with the Yushi girl, so what does it matter if you have the cheekiness to say something to Zheng Gongzi, when you get ahead in the future, she will also have a glow on her face." ”

Ling Teng is by no means a dead-skinned pattern, he said with a straight face, "Being cheeky may not be able to make friends, my mother doesn't have to worry about me, I know it in my heart." With Ling Teng's arrogance, he would not let Zhao Changqing do this.

Mrs. Ling's second index finger poked her son's forehead hard, "I don't know what to do." ”

Ling Teng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and said expressionlessly, "I'm going to read a book." ”

"Go, go, go." Second Mrs. Ling saw Ling Teng go to the study, and complained to her husband angrily, "I'm also worried about it in vain." ”

Second Uncle Ling has always believed in his son's wisdom and said, "Anyway, Brother Teng has his own ideas, let him deal with it himself." The wine I drank at noon was really a little tired, so I went to lie down. After speaking, Second Uncle Ling rubbed his forehead and went back to the house to rest.

The father and son left one after the other, and Third Sister Ling took a sip of tea, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "What's wrong with my mother, but I stammered at that girl?" ”

Second Mrs. Ling disagreed, "If you have the ability to praise Miss General's Mansion and Lu Li, I will also scold you." ”

Third Sister Ling muttered a few words, and finally shut up.

After sending away Ling's second uncle's family, Ling was also tired and rested in the house. In the evening, Zhao Yongfang went home slightly drunk, and when the family of the second uncle of Daoling came to visit, Zhao Yong asked a few words. Zhao Changqing handed over the sobering tea and smiled, "Daddy is not at home today, otherwise Daddy will know what is a compliment when he sees the second aunt." ”

Ling scolded, "What is this called?" ”

Zhao Changqing told Zhao Yong about the abnormality of Second Mrs. Ling today, she was already eloquent, and what she said was also funny, and said with a smile, "In the past, the second aunt was lukewarm when she saw me, but today I am more affectionate than my third cousin." ”

Ling Shi thought about the abnormality of Second Mrs. Ling, and couldn't help laughing, "Just know it in your heart." Your second aunt thinks that you can help your cousin and be a mother, and for the sake of your own children, you can't care about losing face. ”

Zhao Changqing sighed, "I can help now, if I can't help in the future, it is estimated that the second aunt will change her face." ”

Zhao Yong has always been kind, and he is also speechless for people like Mrs. Ling, so he can only say, "They are all relatives, what can I do." If you look at her, you won't be in contact for a long time, isn't it to see the face of your second uncle and your cousin. ”

"Yes, she's always confused, everyone doesn't care." Ling smiled and said to Zhao Changqing, "Just talk about it from your own family, don't talk about it outside, look at your uncle and cousin." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I know the way." ”
