Life is the same everywhere, and people are similar everywhere.

What Northwest people, Shu people, not all people.

If it is a human being, the mind is inseparable.

When Xia Wen visited Uncle Zhao and the others and returned to the room, Zhao Changqing had already washed up and sat under the lamp to read. Xia Wen said, "Don't read at night, waste your eyes." ”

Zhao Changqing looked at him with a smile and quipped, "I thought you had to rest in the fifth uncle's room." ”

Xia Wen went over and took the book in Zhao Changqing's hand, and Zhao Changqing called Yahuan to come in and serve Xia Wen to freshen up. After the two of them rested between the beds, Xia Wen hugged Zhao Changqing's waist and said, "When you come back on the first day, it's also a mess, don't worry." ”

Zhao Changqing didn't mean to be angry, if he was angry because of such a trivial matter, there would be angry days in the future. Zhao Changqing said, "What's so annoying about this." It is said that each courtyard has its own kitchen, and my aunt is in a hurry, and she wants water urgently, so she uses some water in our kitchen, but it's just a trivial matter, where is there anyone who is annoyed by this, you also underestimate me. ”

"It's just that now I can see that as soon as we came back, and I brought these many people with me, not to mention that manpower is tight, even this kitchen is also tight. Today is the first day, and it can be said that I just came back to the house and is busy. If Ming'er does this again, where will her face go? Zhao Changqing said, "This matter is easy to solve, tomorrow I will go to tell my grandmother and mother, the kitchen is tight, let's set up a separate kitchen in this house." There is no need for anything else, two empty rooms are vacant, and the rest is now available. Save on the little things, don't you say? ”

Xia Wen pondered for a moment and said, "This is also reasonable, not to mention that you are not used to eating things in Shu." It's not good for people who have never eaten spicy food to always eat spicy. Don't talk about it, I'll talk to my mother and grandmother tomorrow. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Okay." ”

"Changqing."

"Huh?"

"Do you think our family is not as good as you think?"

Zhao Changqing sighed, "In these years, they all live in a cluster, and everyone has these things, which is nothing." In the first day, I listened to what the elders said, but my natural temper was not unreasonable. Just reason with me, and you don't have to pay much attention to it. We are our days, and you should not be distracted by these trivial matters. As long as we live our lives well, who can not smile at us. Even those who have other thoughts, nothing more than that. ”

Xia Wen said, "If you have anything on your mind, you must tell me, don't keep it in your heart." ”

"I don't tell you, who I want to say." Zhao Changqing smiled, "When you finish meeting your relatives, you can take me to the county seat to have a good life." The friends, classmates, and teachers you have made in the past should also move around. This is the foundation of your future. What's interesting about the inner house, it's nothing more than three melons and two dates, you and I have one heart, and no one can give me any anger. ”

The young couple talked a lot of things, and they hugged each other and fell asleep late at night.

The Xia family is a scholarly family, and the years are also far away, and the rules are naturally trivial. On the morning of the second day, I worshiped the tablet at home, sacrificed the stove, and sacrificed to the gods, which was the time to officially meet the elders. Zhao Changqing presented the needle and thread, Mrs. Xia gave a pair of red gold bracelets, Mrs. Xia gave a pair of golden butterfly hairpins, and Aunt Xia gave a pair of silver bracelets with leek leaves. Next, Xia Jing Zhao Lian gave Zhao Changqing a gift, and Zhao Changqing gave them what he prepared yesterday.

While everyone was in one place, Xia Wen said about cleaning up the kitchen, and he said, "I went to Uncle Zhao's house to talk last night, and I just finished eating, and there was no hot water in the teapot. When I found Ping'an and asked, the kitchen only cared about cooking, and the hot water naturally had to be used only by the elders first. I went to the kitchen and was a little nervous. Later, when I was studying, I had to ask for a soup dish at night, and I thought, the row of rooms in the back cover room is also spacious, and we will clean up two rooms, and we will set up a separate kitchen. If there is an empty room, we will buy everything ourselves. ”

As soon as Xia Wen's words came out, everyone looked at Xia Wen first, and then at Zhao Changqing. The heart said, this little daughter-in-law is really capable, and she has to eat and drink in a separate kitchen the next day when she comes to her mother-in-law's house.

Mrs. Xia coughed and said first, "How did Ping An Pinggui serve, so that the in-laws didn't even have water to drink." ”

Xia Wen smiled, "Look at what my grandmother said, they are all newcomers, and the hot water in the kitchen can't be supplied, what can they do, but they are in a hurry and want to go to the kitchen to cook it themselves, but it is not their errand, and the kitchen can't ask them to cook it themselves, right?" There are so many things to do in the kitchen, even if each person has eight more hands, they are not busy enough, so it is no wonder that they are not busy. In the past few years outside, Xia Wen has not been without experience, and he intercepted Mrs. Xia's words in one sentence.

Mrs. Xia said, "I'm old, let's discuss with your mother." ”

Xia Wen smiled, "The old lady loves me, and my mother doesn't hurt me, so I bother the old lady's grandmother to make room for us, and in the afternoon I went to find a mason and set a few stoves." ”

Aunt Xia smiled in a shrill voice, "Alas, Brother Wen couldn't see it before, she really loves her daughter-in-law." ”

Xia Wen smiled, "Isn't it painful for a daughter-in-law to marry home?" Capable men love their daughters-in-law. ”

When Mrs. Xia saw that her eldest sister-in-law was deflated, she was extremely satisfied, and said to Zhao Changqing with a smile, "My nephew and daughter-in-law are blessed." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled shyly, not at all modest, "I will laugh at the words of the second aunt." This is just the beginning, and the great blessings are yet to come. ”

Aunt Xia didn't smile, "I heard that the girls in the northwest are generous, but when I see them today, it's not like that." Especially when I spoke, I said nephew and daughter-in-law, we can't be so real, your second aunt is your own person. If you go outside and do this, you're going to make people laugh. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "My aunt just understands us Northwest people, and we Northwest people are not only generous, but also straight-minded." Who will laugh at me when I go outside, who will laugh at me for having the ability to say it in front of me, and let me see how I laugh at me. I've never been laughed at in my life, and if someone laughs at me, I'll be able to open my eyes. ”

Zhao Lian has been pampered since she was a child, and she has pressed Xia Yu on weekdays, but at this time, she couldn't hold it back, pointed to Zhao Changqing's nose and said, "My cousin-in-law talks to my mother like this, it's a joke!" ”

Zhao Changqing didn't move a single eyebrow, and said, "Cousin Zhao, in terms of seniority, I am your cousin-in-law." From far and near, you are a girl from your cousin's family. I have never been pointed at my nose and said a word of weight before. Old lady, you are the most just, you give me an explanation! ”

Old Mrs. Xia frowned and said, "Okay, it's noisy early in the morning, I'm tired." Let's disperse. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "I heard that my name hasn't been added to the noble tree yet, so I don't think it's necessary." It just so happens that my mother's brother is here, and the cages are all neat, so I'll go back to the border city. "Get up and go out.

Xia Wen hurriedly went to stop Zhao Changqing, Mrs. Xia was also panicked, Mrs. Xia Second dragged her by one arm, and then said, "Niece and daughter-in-law, what do you say, the child is not sensible, don't worry about her!" ”

Old Mrs. Xia immediately made a decision, slapped Zhao Lian in the face, and scolded, "Ignorant little hoof, how did I teach you on weekdays, and I didn't go to apologize to your cousin!" ”

Mrs. Xia said, "Daughter-in-law, you have always been open-minded, don't be angry with the ignorant girl Lian." She is young, and she has this reckless temper, and she still bumps into the old lady from time to time. She's not good, your sister-in-law's teaching to her is, so many elders love you, come, let's sit and talk. ”

Zhao Changqing sat back and looked at Zhao Lian coldly. Zhao Lian has never been angry since she hit the Xia family, and she ran out with a loud cry, Zhao Changqing smiled at the corner of her lips, and said, "Yesterday, I heard the old lady talk about the scholarly family of the Xia family in Qingcheng after three dynasties, and I don't know how much the prince and prime minister have. Looking at my cousin now, I was born in a martial arts family, and I have never seen such an innocent and lively child. "In fact, the Zhao family's little martial arts were the last generation when they were passed on to Zhao Changqing's short-lived grandfather, and Zhao Changqing and his father did not enjoy the glory of this ancestor. It's just that Zhao Changqing has no shortage of skills in pasting gold on his face. Especially in front of someone like Mrs. Xia, if you don't put two taels of gold on your face, she will treat you as a food.

Old Mrs. Xia's face was very ugly, "Daughter-in-law Sun, don't worry, I will not let you be wronged." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I don't have anything to worry about." Old lady, you are the old lady of our Xia family, after all, Miss Zhao is not surnamed Xia, and I don't know the rules of the Xia family. ”

Aunt Xia said, "Ah Lian is young and speaks straight, why do you have to be so unforgiving, niece and daughter-in-law, aren't you?" ”

Xia Wen couldn't listen to it, and said, "Auntie, my daughter-in-law just flattered you with two jokes, and when she asked if there was any rudeness, my cousin jumped out to accuse her, and now in my aunt's mouth, it has become my daughter-in-law's unforgiving, I can't understand what my aunt means." ”

Aunt Xia slapped herself and howled when she opened her mouth, "I'll slap your mouth, you can't speak like this, and you don't offend people." ”

Zhao Changqing immediately stood up from his chair and left without saying a word. Mrs. Xia was close, and she was going to stop her again, but she didn't know how to be brushed by Zhao Changqing, but Mrs. Xia didn't touch a piece of her clothes, and Zhao Changqing had already gone out.

Xia Wen was so angry that he said to Aunt Xia, "My daughter-in-law came back on the first day, and my aunt bullied people like this, it seems that she is really close!" Hurriedly chased Zhao Changqing.

When Zhao Changqing went out, he ordered Yongfu Hong'er beside him, "Call A-Ning Abai over!" ”

Xia Wen caught up with Zhao Changqing, held his wife's hand, pulled her back to the room, asked Xiaoyahuan to bring tea, and said, "You drink a cup of tea first to dissipate your anger, I will not let you be wronged." ”

Zhao Changning and Su Bai have already heard the letter, the new daughter-in-law recognizes her relatives and salutes and other things, it is the Xia family's business, they are not easy to mix, they are discussing going out for a walk, as soon as they heard this, Zhao Changning first stinked his face, clenched his fists and asked Xia Wen, "You give me the right words, what is your family going to do?" coaxed my sister to come back with you thousands of miles away, and you just made her feel wronged! Xia Wen dared to say a word that he didn't like, Zhao Changning was already planning to smash him all over the face.

Su Bai has never been the temperament to turn around and leave without saying a word, and said, "Even if you go back to the border city, you can't go back like this." The Xia family has to give us an explanation of this matter first! ”

Xia Wen had to say good things to the two brothers-in-law first, and said, "A-Ning Abai, you go to the inner room to sit with your sister for a while, and I will go and seek justice for her." ”

The two rooms of the Xia family came over, and the second uncle Xia said, "This nephew and daughter-in-law just came, no wonder the two younger brothers are angry, I am also angry, the family spoiled the child, and asked her to collide with the nephew and daughter-in-law." ”

Zhao Changning didn't appreciate it at all, and said, "I heard that your Xia family is all scholars, and your cousin is spoiled, and your aunt's wife is still slapping herself like this, I am also a showman, but it is the first time I have seen this Western scene." She didn't smoke herself, she knew that my sister married far away in your Qingcheng County, and her mother's family was far away, so she bullied her! Fortunately, I'm still here, and if I go back to the border city, I don't know how much my sister has been wronged! ”

Su Bai continued, "You don't have to say these words here, I have asked Fifth Uncle Zhao to go to your patriarch's house to ask for an explanation." If you raise it, you will teach it, the cousin girl is raised in your Xia family, and she doesn't know how to be polite, so don't ask her to come out to meet people! In the past, in the border city, I only knew that the lord and wife of the in-laws were good, and the martial brothers also got along with us, so my family agreed to the family affairs. What is the picture, it is the character of Tuxia's brother-in-law. I came to Qingcheng here, and I heard about the reputation of the Xia family in Qingcheng, I thought it was a family that knew etiquette and was kind, and I didn't want to be a mean daughter-in-law like this. Tell your patriarch to come over and comment on this theory! ”

Zhao Changning continued, "I just don't know that your patriarch is unfair, Yongshou, take my sister's post and call the county lord over!" Even the emperor's holy decree said that my sister has meritorious service in defending the country, and she is virtuous and virtuous, and you despise and bully her like this in front of me, and you also deceive people too much! Do you think that there is no one in our Zhao family! ”

Master Xia and Second Uncle Xia took turns to say good things to Zhao Changning and Su Bai, but they didn't want to make things bigger. Second Uncle Xia said, "Awen, you also persuade the two younger brothers." ”

Xia Wen sank his face and said, "What A-Ning Abai said is right, when I was in the border city, although the days were hard, the family was harmonious and beautiful, and my daughter-in-law and I had been married for more than half a year, and my face never turned red." What kind of person she is, the second uncle and aunt don't know, but the father and mother do. How could he have been a little sorry for our family. Now that I have just returned to my hometown, I have given birth to so many things. I know my aunt's thoughts, nothing more than to see that my daughter-in-law has a fate, so I want to pinch her. These things in the house should not be taken care of by the masters. Now that I'm also married, do I see my daughter-in-law getting angry? Although my aunt is of high seniority, there is always a clear distinction between right and wrong. My daughter-in-law is in a border city, she has an inheritance, her mother's family, her relatives and her old days, and she has come back with me all the way, if I can't protect her even this little thing, I will be a man in vain. Right is right, wrong is wrong, today don't invite the patriarch to make it clear, others only think that the cousin ran out when he saw his cousin on the first day, and the aunt slapped herself like this, if you don't say right or wrong in front of the clan, the daughter-in-law will not know how to be talked about in the future. My father's second uncle also saw it, and it was right to persuade A-Ning and Abai not to be annoyed, but I shouldn't be persuaded to swallow my anger, I can't bear this anger, and I can't bear it! I can't ask my daughter-in-law to carry this ready-made black cauldron! Xia Wu, you go to the clan to take a look, if Uncle Zhao has anything unclear, you follow the description and make up on the side, and be sure to ask the person in charge of the clan to come over. Xia Wen not only did not persuade Zhao Changning and Su Bai, but he also sent Xia Wu out.

Second Uncle Xia wanted to stop him, but Xia Wu ran away.

"Brother-in-law Xia's words are quite reasonable." Su Bai took a breath and said, "The character of Mrs. Guifu is really eye-opening. You don't have to rush to persuade us, your aunt and wife can slap herself, I heard that your old lady is also old, or go and look at the old lady, for a while, it will become a ready-made basin and buckle it on our heads! ”

Zhao Changning said, "One crying, two troubles, three hangings, we are younger, we have only heard of it in the past, but we have never seen it, this time it is really a long experience." It's still you scholarly people, but you have many means. If you're as honest as my sister, she can't do it if you ask her to do this, it's disgusting! ”

Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia persuaded Zhao Changqing in the back room, which was nothing more than saying some gossip. Mrs. Xia Er sighed, "My arm is folded in my sleeve, Mrs. Gu is such a temper, you are a person who has studied and has a temper, this matter is not right between Mrs. Gu and the cousin, but it is a big trouble, others still have to say that your new daughter-in-law is not." Niece and daughter-in-law, although I don't like this, but it is my sincere words for my second aunt. I'm also from here, my aunt is so strong, you ask your mother-in-law, we have two concubines, which one won't let her. She just has a weird temper, just don't see it. ”

Mrs. Xia sighed, "This day, it's better for us to be happy in the border city." ”

Second Mrs. Xia said, "Sister-in-law, I'm persuading my nephew and daughter-in-law, why do you say such a thing." "I came to tear down her platform.

"It's also true." Mrs. Xia said, "I have also seen it in the border city in the past few years, and in the past, at home, there were also maids and mothers-in-law, but they were born every day, and they were not peaceful." It was more difficult to make a living in the border city, so I also went outside to do some work, I washed clothes, Sister Yu'er did some handicrafts, Wu'er and his father copied books in other people's bookstores, and Awen went outside to collect medicine. There are no delicacies from the mountains and seas, the family has coarse tea and light rice, and the people in the border city are straightforward, and they all get along very well. Later, Ah Wen became a doctor, married a daughter-in-law, and the family lived with one heart, which was particularly delicious. ”

"His aunt, we have been concubines for so many years, and we have never choked in the past, but there are some words and some things, and we still know what it feels like. Over the years of giving birth to the Lao Xia family, there has been no credit and hard work, and I am also tired when I see that the children are older. Mrs. Xia sighed tiredly and said, "I asked my daughter-in-law to endure it today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, where is there still a head?" We are sisters-in-law, there is no way, Mrs. Gu is a distinguished guest, and she is just a good person. My daughter-in-law is her nephew-in-law, she doesn't count if she pinches me, but does she have to pinch my daughter-in-law? In the future, Brother Jing will not be married, we have lived like this for most of our lives, and we still ask our daughter-in-law to endure it. The daughter-in-law endured it, and the granddaughter-in-law continued to endure it, what is the fun. "Mrs. Xia is not a fool, her daughter-in-law is not a person who can't stand up, she understands her sister-in-law's temperament too well, and she is the most skilled. At this time, she can't ask her daughter-in-law to endure it.

There was no less friction between the two of them when they were together, but now they haven't seen each other in the past few years, Mrs. Xia's words made Mrs. Xia's eyes red, and she wiped her tears and said, "My sister-in-law has not been at home in the past few years, and I haven't talked to my sister-in-law about how many things I have in my heart." "As far as Aunt Xia's temper is concerned, she dares to find fault with Zhao Changqing now, and the two sisters-in-law never take it seriously.

While everyone was talking, a bunch of people from the patriarch's family came. The patriarch is the same generation as the old man Xia's brothers, but he is older, with a white beard, and his life is also rich. What surprised the Xia family was that the patriarch and the old lady also came. This is not unusual, the patriarch has not been outstanding, he has a reputation for lifting people, and the patriarch's wife has no fate. Zhao Changqing is a native of Liupin'an, and the patriarch and the old lady have been awarded the edict of the Sipin lady because her second son is the Shaoqing of the Sipin Dali Temple.

Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia both went out to greet each other, and let the patriarch and lady go to the main house, and the patriarch said, "Where is the new daughter-in-law, I'll go and see the new daughter-in-law." Yesterday, I heard that you came back and Brother Wen married a daughter-in-law, and I was happy. Why is it that this is only the first day, and you are slow to lazy your daughter-in-law? "I came to Zhao Changqing's house. Waving his hand, he didn't ask his sons to follow, and said, "You men go elsewhere, don't neglect your in-laws." Tell us girls to say a few words quietly. ”

The Xia family is also a big family in the world, and the patriarch and the old lady have a little eyesight, and she will stop at the new house, and she will know whether this thing is good or bad. The Zhao family is actually not a strong family, but Zhao Changqing is not a person who will wronged herself, not to mention that there are a few good relatives in the family, so she also has some good treasures in her hands. The patriarch and the old lady nodded slightly, she was a family with a family background.

Zhao Changqing heard someone come in, got up from the chair, Mrs. Xia was busy introducing the origins of everyone to her daughter-in-law, Zhao Changqing saw the salute and said, "I originally thought that there was a reasonable person in the clan who came to talk to me." It alarmed the old lady, and I was really uneasy. Please come and sit on this couch. ”

When Mrs. Xia heard that the patriarch and the old lady were coming, she hurriedly brought her daughter to meet her.

The patriarch and lady were full of silver hair, with a round bun, a white jade finch's hairpin, and a lake silk dress on her body, which was not gorgeous, but extremely poor. Sitting on the couch, the patriarch and the old lady looked at Zhao Changqing and said, "I thought that you just arrived yesterday and rested for a day, and you are going to my place today." I don't want to make you feel wronged. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "If you are wronged or not, there must always be an explanation for right and wrong." I'm afraid that the fifth uncle and the younger uncle are in a hurry, and they didn't say it too clearly. Hong'er, you tell the old lady again. "Yongfu has always been in charge of the affairs of her house, but when it comes to articulate, she is not as clever as Hong'er.

Hong'er said the matter from beginning to end, and she expressed her own opinions, this is not Hong'er's guts, because some words are inconvenient for Zhao Changqing to say, she said for the lord, said, "The cousin girl is really magnificent, our girl, in the past with the general's wife, Mrs. Shangshu, and the prefect's wife, who doesn't praise her for knowing books and etiquette." Now just one day after arriving in Guibao Land, my cousin first said that my girl was rude. It's really incomprehensible. ”

"Then there is my aunt's wife, my aunt told her a reason, there is no disrespectful sentence, she chirped and smacked her mouth, I am a slave, even if I have no knowledge, I have followed the girl since childhood to know some rules and etiquette. Where did she hit herself, did she hit our girl and aunt in the face? Hong'er said sharply, "Who doesn't know this, it's all because my girl came from afar, so she will say what is wrong and what she will do wrong, and she will be given a horse as soon as she comes." These ruthless methods of the inner house, the outsiders don't know, my girls don't know, but I know what I do. Now when I see that my girl is not so weak, I cry and cry, and I can't say that I will find a dead and jump into a well for a while, and we can't tell a hundred mouths! ”

"The old lady and the lady are all knowledgeable people, first commented on us, told us right and wrong, and we didn't dare to stay in the precious land. We girls, since childhood, have been studying with female gentlemen, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and etiquette, what we don't know, what we don't understand. Our old man, that is also the body of six products and hundreds of households, our old lady and wife hold the same love as our girl's eyes, and they have never said anything heavy on weekdays. It's our ancestor, and that's also the honor of General Wupin Weilie! If it weren't for my uncle's character, how could I be willing to let her marry to this far place! In the past, everything was fine in the border city, but when I first arrived in Qingcheng County, I couldn't live for half a day! Hong'er said, "Old ladies and ladies, don't think I'm straight-talking, we Northwest people are all straight-tempered, what do you have to say." Nowadays, everyone in the world is like red and white, and some people feel that they can be bullied. Those who know etiquette will feel weak. So, kick your nose on your face, full of scheming, step by step! In our family, the uncle is younger, and he won the show at the seventeenth year! Our Uncle Bai, sixteen on the show, eighteen is to lift people, the year after tomorrow will go to the imperial capital Chunfu! It's the cousin of the uncle's family, and now he's the same! Even if you don't dare to compare with a family like the aristocracy, there are ten uncles and grandfathers in the family, all of whom are officials, not to mention uncles and brothers. The year before last, the grandfather passed away, and the imperial capital Peng Xiangye sent his grandson to pay tribute! Our girl came to your land, everything is respected, everything is complete, because she is shy and does not like words, some people regard her as a person from a poor family, and despise and bully her, even if the girl can bear it, we as girls can't see the girl being bullied like this! ”

"Fortunately, the two uncles followed, the uncles in the clan escorted them all the way, and the mother's family was there, this is the situation, I really dare not think about the future, and I don't have to think about it."

The patriarch's wife smiled, "Alas, what a faithful protector of the Lord." This girl is so well conditioned. Hey, no wonder you're angry, and I feel rude when I listen. Turning his head, he said Aunt Xia, "You are the daughter who went back to her parents' house, and at this age, I thought that you should understand some of the principles of the world, but you don't understand." Your girl, the Zhao family didn't let go at that time, you had to take it with you alive or dead, or did the clan come forward to let her follow you. Since you can't teach her well, she is not surnamed Xia after all, so it's not good to delay, let her go back to Zhao's house. ”

The patriarch's wife is the patriarch's wife, and she poked Aunt Xia's life with one sentence. Aunt Xia knelt down and was about to cry, but the patriarch's wife sneered, "It seems that this girl is right, you are really addicted to crying, making trouble and hanging yourself!" That's it, our Xia family doesn't dare to keep you, you are a widow, you are a widow, you are guarding everywhere, go back to your husband's house to guard. When the words were suppressed, Aunt Xia was like having her tongue cut out, and she only dared to cry, but she didn't dare to howl for half a voice.

Old Mrs. Xia couldn't sit still, and said with the patriarch and the old lady, "Sister-in-law, it turned out that the child was ignorant and collided with her cousin-in-law." My daughter said that she had lived for decades, but she couldn't be more confused. I'll just call Sister Lian over and compensate her sister-in-law. As the saying goes, when the upper teeth are still knocked on the lower teeth, not to mention that the life of a family is inevitable. Saying that, he hurriedly sent Mrs. Ling to find Zhao Lian, and said, "My daughter's life is very miserable, if she is asked to go back to her mother-in-law's house, she will not be given a way to live." ”

The patriarch lady said, "I heard that the eldest girl's mother-in-law can't be more polite, and you think too much." "The old lady didn't remember Aunt Xia's name, but she knew that she was the eldest daughter, so she called her a big girl.

Mrs. Xia covered her tears and said, "Zhili is just a bright face, and she is mean to death Sister Lian and her mother." ”

The patriarch said lightly, "Yo, it turns out that you still know what mean mean." ”

Mrs. Xia was suddenly ashamed, so she had to ask the bitter master for help, and said, "Sister Lian'er is spoiled by me, Sister Lian'er and her mother's temper, I will talk about her." In the future, the family will live happily, isn't it, granddaughter-in-law? ”

Mrs. Xia was used to being an old Fengjun at home, and she had enough of her two daughters-in-law, so she thought that Zhao Changqing was also a good talker. Zhao Changqing said, "I first came to the Xia family, and I don't know the rules and regulations of the Xia family. It's just how the elders say it and how I listen. ”

Mrs. Xia almost fainted, and when Mrs. Xia came with Zhao Lian, Aunt Xia gave Zhao Lian two slaps, crying and scolding, "You don't know how to be rude, how dare you be rude to your cousin!" Come here! Kowtow to your cousin and apologize! "Actually, Aunt Xia herself also wanted to kowtow to Zhao Changqing, but just now the patriarch's wife's words scared her, and she didn't dare to force Zhao Changqing as an elder.

Zhao Lian is only thirteen years old, an adult with a calm face in a room, she was beaten by her mother as soon as she entered the house, and she was so scared, her violent temper in the past was gone, even if she was dissatisfied, she didn't dare to say a word, so she had to kneel in front of Zhao Changqing in a proper manner, and sobbed quietly, "Cousin-in-law, I was wrong in the morning, don't be like me, I know it's wrong." ”

Zhao Changqing said lightly, "It's good to know that it's wrong." You're wrong, I'll teach you. Now, you can't point to my nose and speak. In the future, one day, when your father is stronger than my father, your husband is stronger than my husband, and you are stronger than me, when you do one of these three, then point to my nose and speak. Now, no. ”

Aunt Xia choked up and said, "You beg your cousin-in-law again, please don't worry about you, our family has a good life, and you don't want to go back to the Zhao family, do you?" Tell your cousin! ”

Zhao Lian sobbed and said, little girl, look at how pitiful it is. Zhao Changqing didn't move a single eyebrow, how could Hong'er let Zhao Lian kneel on the ground to fight for sympathy, directly dragged Zhao Lian to get up, wiped her tears, and smiled, "Don't be like this, it seems that someone is bullying her cousin." ”

Aunt Xia had no choice but to say to Zhao Changqing herself, "Niece and daughter-in-law, your cousin is rude to me, you are broad-minded, don't worry about her." In the future, I will discipline her. You just pity her for being a fatherless, if she really returns to the Zhao family, she will be ruined for the rest of her life. Even me, it's just a few days of peace at my eldest brother's house. You are a learned man, I don't know a single word, and I am in a hurry, which frightens you. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "My aunt and I are just joking at first, what is not frightening, it is scaring me, you are an elder, and I don't have a word of no." ”

"When I first came to your land, I didn't know the rules and regulations of the nobility, and I was very frightened, but now I understand that everyone in all parts of the country is a family of goodness." Zhao Changqing said, "My aunt loves my cousin's heart, how can I not be considerate?" It's like an old lady loves her aunt with the same heart. I also have parents at home, and my parents love me as much. Parents have the same heart for their children. My family is an ordinary martial arts family, and now that I see my aunt and cousin, I understand more and more that my father and mother gave birth to me and raised me, not to make me angry. Auntie, I can withstand such a thing, and I have seen such a world, but my temper is different from ordinary people. My father-in-law is a person who wants to take the imperial examination, and I don't want him to be distracted by these internal affairs. I don't like these things myself. If you have something to say, say it openly. If there is something, do it openly. I have to be considerate of my in-laws, father-in-law, younger siblings and myself before I can be considerate of you. Don't be surprised, cousin, this is the first time, I don't care. The patriarch and grandmother told you according to the clan rules, and you came to me to say these things, what can I do? I have to show me the way, auntie. ”

Aunt Xia actually has a good heart, and she is not stupid, but her eyesight is poor, and she feels that Zhao Changqing is soft yesterday, so she feels that she is easy to bully, but she doesn't want to touch hard stubble. Aunt Xia regretted not being at the beginning, and said busily, "I know that you are a heart-minded, don't worry, there will be a next time, you don't need to say it, I don't have the face to live anymore." ”

"This is my aunt's maiden family, my brother's family, aunt don't say that. I can't afford it, aunt's lord, and I can't do it either. What's more, I don't want to tell my cousin about right and wrong, and one more time, my aunt will do whatever she wants, and I'll be the one who wants to leave. There is another old saying, you can't afford to hide. Like my aunt feels comfortable living in her mother's house, I also feel comfortable living in my mother's house. Zhao Changqing looked at the patriarch's wife and said politely, "The old lady is old, so it's not good to worry about these mundane things, so I have to give me an idea." ”

The patriarch's wife didn't want to say more about Aunt Xia in front of the juniors, but this person really didn't open her eyes. This is your nephew and daughter-in-law, not your daughter-in-law, the serious mother-in-law hasn't said anything, the mother's brothers are all there, you are like this, and the face of the family is lost! The patriarch's wife was so angry! The patriarch's wife said, "Since your nephew and daughter-in-law plead for you like this, it's okay." At your age, you should know something. Your mother is at this age, if you don't ask how to be filial to her, won't you live a quiet life? ”

Aunt Xia no longer has the yin and yang weirdness and domineering appearance of before, she is as supple as a middle-aged sheep, docile and compliant, and she doesn't dare to say a word, for fear that the clan will really ask her to go back to her mother-in-law's house.

The patriarch's wife here was talking to Zhao Changqing, and on the other side, the clansmen were also persuading Zhao Changning, Su Bai, and Fifth Uncle Zhao, and at noon, a banquet was set up and a banquet was eaten, and this matter was resolved.

The patriarch's wife served her mother-in-law to get into the car, returned home and served her mother-in-law into the house, changed into her home-style clothes, served tea, and the patriarch's wife asked, "Would the old lady want to take a break?" ”

The patriarch and the old lady sighed, and the patriarch's wife knew that the old man was a little uncomfortable in his heart, so she persuaded, "The little husband and wife are coming back for the first time, and it is inevitable." ”

The patriarch lady said, "If you don't open your eyes, you really don't open your eyes." "If you want to pinch your nephew and daughter-in-law, you can also think clearly and understand, what kind of person can handle it, what kind of person can't handle it, I don't know this bit of proportion, and I dare to pinch people! The claws were almost chopped off!

The patriarch's wife smiled, "Brother Wen's daughter-in-law is also really powerful, and what she said is very good to hear." ”

The patriarch and the old lady were reclining in the arhat couch of the old Huanghuali, and the patriarch's wife was busy unfolding a thin silk quilt embroidered with peony flowers on a green bottom for the old lady, so she listened to the old lady and said, "It's not good, can you do six pin'an?" That's the person who has seen blood in Xipingguan, and it's just a matter of being idle and angry, and going to tease her? "There are a few women in the world who can earn their own lives, and Zhao Changqing's calm and leisurely appearance without saying a word is not easy to mess with at first glance.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was not sleepy, the patriarch's wife smiled and said, "I heard that she killed the barbarian general and was given the title by the emperor." I thought she was a stronger woman, but I didn't want to see it, she was really beautiful and thin, and she didn't look like a martial artist at all. If you don't know it, you have to look away. ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked without a match.

In fact, Zhao Changning was not very satisfied with the result, he hated to directly drive Miss Xia's mother and daughter out, Su Bai privately persuaded him, "Don't be stupid, Sister Qing came back the first day, it was really good, and the reputation was not very good, which was enough for the blindless An Sheng for a while." Next year, my brother-in-law will be in autumn, if the title of the laurel list is named, I have no need to go to the imperial capital to prepare for the spring festival, and my sister will go together, where to stay in Qingcheng County for a lifetime. ”

Zhao Changning said, "It's hateful to think about." ”

Su Bai said, "That's the case among relatives, there are few hateful people in anyone's family, just out of sight and out of mind." ”

Zhao Changning immediately thought of his second aunt, well, this one is also annoying.

Zhao Changqing has always been a matter of time, she has no energy to worry about some trivial things. In fact, she was very grateful to Aunt Xia for being mean to her once, and she was done once and for all. Aunt Xia herself was embarrassed, and she didn't dare to make a fuss, and even a few girls in this old mansion were a little more cautious, and privately said that the new grandmother was powerful, and she should be careful when she was on errands.

The kitchen that Zhao Changqing asked for was cleaned up in two days, and Zi'er brought people over to buy things and cook food. Well organized inside and out. Xia Wen took Zhao Changqing to the flower market and bought a lot of roses that climbed the wall and came back. Zhao Changqing smiled, "A few bushes of plantains outside your study are fine." ”

"This one could say it blooms along the porch, like your old boudoir." Xia Wen felt very happy in his heart, his aunt had long been a finger-pointing temper, and he hated her to be the Xia family's home. Xia Wen actually understood her aunt's thoughts, she didn't have a son, and she relied on her brother to live. The eldest sister-in-law was born in a businessman, and she was fine when she first got married, but later as the eldest brother passed the exam, she was a little insufficient. What's more, Aunt Xia is the eldest sister-in-law, and she has the support of her mother-in-law, and the two sisters-in-law have to give her three points. Now that Zhao Changqing is newly married, he naturally wants to take control of Zhao Changqing, and continue to have the final say in the inner house in the future! What a pipe dream! Look for death without picking the hour! Xia Wen is the eldest son, he will be the master of the house in the future, and he naturally has some thoughts about family affairs. He is different from his father, no matter how close the relatives are, there must be a degree, and the guest of honor must be distinguished. What's more, when he married Zhao Changqing, he secretly swore that as long as he could, he would not be able to suffer any grievances from his daughter-in-law.

Zhao Changqing also bought a handful of fresh lotus flowers, which are also available in this border city, but they are rare, so there are even fewer fresh ones. Zhao Changqing said, "It's just right to boil a pot of white fungus lotus seed soup, you smell it, how fresh it is." "It's fragrant.

Xia Wen leaned over to smell it and asked, "The jasmine incense you used today?" ”

Zhao Changqing patted him, smiled lightly, and ignored it. I took a Xuanhong porcelain plate and peeled the lotus seeds, the white lotus seeds were lined with a red plate, the sun was setting, and the lotus seeds were dyed with a layer of gold edges, which was particularly beautiful. Xia Wen was fiddling with the newly planted roses, and Zhao Changqing said, "Ask Yongfu to give you deerskin gloves, and prick your hands carefully." ”

"It's okay, I'll watch it." After half an hour of speaking, Xia Wen shouted Yongfu, "Get me gloves." ”

Zhao Changqing glanced at him helplessly, Xia Wen hehehe.

Since turning her face, Zhao Changqing's life has been extremely comfortable, and she doesn't have to go to Mrs. Xia's house every day to listen to some weird, basically she has nothing to do with it. Zhao Changqing went back to his house, what should he do. Since her small kitchen sent two dishes, Mrs. Xia didn't eat them, and Zhao Changqing didn't send them either. There are rare things, and they are only given to Mrs. Xia for food.

However, Master Xia, although he has not returned to the yamen on an errand, the yamen is now full, and besides, the daughter-in-law of the family is already a six-grade ordinary, and the county master is only a seven-grade official, and Mr. Xia just wants to go on an errand, which is no longer in line with the current etiquette system. In the end, Master Xia is an old fritter who has been working in the yamen for more than ten years, and he didn't go to ask for errands, he got a thousand catties of salt, borrowed people from his younger brother, rented a shop, and he began to sell salt.

Zhao Changqing also put his mind at ease, Master Xia is actually a very self-respecting person, and Changfang's family foundation has almost lost because of the original lawsuit. Zhao Changqing has her own money, so she can't watch her in-laws suffer, and now her in-laws have a shop and family business, and she has income, she doesn't have to subsidize here, even her in-laws themselves are happy.

After the relatives and clansmen have seen it, and the raised roses that have been moved have also gained spirit, Xia Wen has already taken Su Bai and Zhao Changning to meet the famous elders in Shuzhong, the old master Wang who opened a women's school, Wang Fang.

Don't look at Wang Fang's women's school, there are a lot of criticisms, but Wang Fang himself dares to open a women's school and accept female students, and he himself is a person of insight with both ability and political integrity. Xia Wen had asked Mr. Wang for advice in the past, and this time Su Bai and Zhao Changning came, and they also wanted to open their eyes and receive some edification, and he also brought Zhao Changqing and his younger siblings, and said, "There are many female students in Mr. Wang's school, and it doesn't hurt you to go." ”

Zhao Changqing and Xia Yu had already begun to discuss what clothes to wear and what jewelry to wear, as soon as Su Bai heard that he was going to meet Mrs. Wang, he immediately said a car of words expressing his deep admiration for Mr. Wang, and asked Xia Wen about Mr. Wang's interesting stories.

Mrs. Xia wanted to pretend to be sick and add to Zhao Changqing's troubles, but she didn't dare, she already knew that Zhao Changqing was proficient in medical skills. has just lost a big face, if she pretends to be sick and is exposed, her old face will not be a face. Mrs. Xia was very happy, and prepared a few local products, and smiled, "Go, you are all learned people." Ah Bai is still a person. Ah Wu followed his brothers to listen to it, and it was also beneficial. My daughter-in-law watched Xiaoyu for me, don't tell her to run around. It doesn't hurt to stay a few more days. "She is not highly educated, and she also knows that the old master Wang was born as the champion of the first emperor, and her career is not smooth, her knowledge is first-class, and she is very famous in the entire Shu. When his son was young, in order to visit Mr. Wang, he waited for several days before he got in line, and he fell into the eyes of Mr. Wang, and Mrs. Xia felt deeply honored. The son has to take the exam, and it is no bad to associate with such people. Even Su Bai and the others are all motivated children, and they are real relatives, so they should be close. She is not an old lady who only runs rampant in the inner house, and her intestines and stomach are only swirling on trivial matters.

Originally, Mrs. Xia had been in the northwest for several years, and when she returned to the border city to see her mother-in-law, she was actually a little excited, after all, the family had been suffering together. The previous contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xia didn't plan to care about it. As a result, Mrs. Xia was fed up with such a partiality. She accompanied her husband to eat sand for three years, and how difficult it was to take care of the housework, and she felt meritorious. It's that her mother-in-law used to be sick of her background, and now she can straighten her waist when she asks herself!

A group of people went to Qingcheng Mountain to visit teachers and friends, the autumn breeze in July was cool, the weather was excellent, Zhao Changqing also rode a horse, Xia Yu didn't know how to ride a horse, so he asked the second brother to take him, Xia Wumian barely refused. The horse is not fast or slow on the road in the countryside, Xia Wen's riding skills are not bad, he has been following Zhao Changqing, he looked at his wife being blown by the autumn wind, under the broad forehead, a pair of eyes are soft and bright.

"Changqing."

"Huh?"

That's the life I want to give you.

I know why you chose me for your marriage, and I will give you more freedom and love than you ever imagined for the freedom you desire.

The author has something to say: Good night~~~~~~~~~~ it seems to have been written wrong before, saying that Changqing is a six-pin congested person, but now I know that the four-pin flattering person and the sixth-grade ann person are checked out. Let's correct the previous mistake later!
