Before Zhao Changqing made a marriage, Ling Teng was safe.

The Ling family prepared a generous gift to thank Xia Wen, but Xia Wen was very polite and couldn't put it off, so he had to accept it.

However, Zhao Rong, because she was concerned about Ling Teng's condition, went to visit every day, not only was she anxious, but she also lost her maintenance. Fortunately, Mr. Su was at home, and it was cheap to prescribe medicine to Zhao Rong.

The youngest daughter's thoughts, even if the Ling family didn't know before, now seeing this situation, what else does not know. Ling whispered to her husband, "You say, how about Ah Rong and Ah Teng?" ”

Zhao Yong didn't understand for a while, and asked, "What's how?" ”

"Relatives." Ling sighed, "Ah Teng's illness, Ah Rong went back and forth to visit, and he was also sick. I thought, two children, not a bad match. ”

Because of speaking in private, Zhao Yong also had a little less scruples and frowned, "How can this be done?" We know that Ah Teng's favorite is Changqing. Ah Teng has no intention of Ah Rong, if he achieves family affairs because of this, how can Ah Rong live a comfortable life. ”

Ling has always pitied her little daughter for being well-behaved, and her husband's words are in her heart, Ling said, "I'm also worried about this." ”

"Just don't know, Liu Qianhu of the health office also asked me about Ah Rong's family affairs." Zhao Yong said, "The second son of Liu Qianhu's family is also a child, two years older than A Rong, and he is preparing for the Xiucai exam. ”

The Ling family also knew Liu Qianhu's wife, and the two doors were quite comparable, so he was a little willing in his heart, and said, "Then you inquire carefully, and if it is a suitable person, you will settle it for Ah Rong first." The family matter is decided, and she can take it away. ”

Zhao Yong said, "This is very true. ”

Zhao Changqing's marriage ceremony is also quite lively, after all, the Zhao family is a native of the border city, and there are many clansmen, not to mention Zhao Yong's colleagues and friends, naturally they all have to come to join in the fun, although everyone has a lot of confusion about the taste of the Zhao family's father and daughter in choosing a son-in-law.

Zhao Changqing just sat in the boudoir and talked to her sisters and friends, many girls were already mothers at her age, so Zhao Changqing pretended to be ashamed, and she couldn't pretend to be big. However, Zhao Changqing has been dating handkerchiefs since he was a child, and as long as he is in the border city, he will come to join in the fun. Zhao Changqing used to be generous to people and courteous, and her good life, whether it was a sister or a friend, was not stingy.

Major General Chen Shan also sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, and well-informed people all secretly said in their hearts: This Zhao Yong is really honest and bright-hearted, and he can stammer to the young general without showing his face.

As everyone knows, Zhao Yong is also confused in his heart, he and Chen Shan have not met a few times at all, and he has never said half a word, how to send him a congratulatory gift. Zhao Yong knew that Zhao Changqing was Yaoyao's special doctor, so he thought about it and asked Zhao Changqing, Zhao Changqing really said, "The young general often asks me to see a doctor for my relatives, so I sent it." ”

Zhao Yong didn't ask anymore, and only ordered the Ling family to send the things sent by Yaoyao to Zhao Changqing to the house.

After Zhao Changqing made a marriage, he talked about Zhao Rong's family affairs. The Ling family said to Zhao Rong in private, "The son of a thousand families is very talented and learned, and this is going to be a talent test, your father has inquired about it, and he has a good character." ”

Zhao Rong bowed her head and was silent, and Ling said, "Your sister's family affairs have been decided, and the Liu family's family background is also good, so it's almost yours to be decided." ”

Zhao Rong couldn't help crying, and said aggrievedly, "They are all the daughters of their parents, and my sister can choose as many people as she wants, but when it is my turn, is it just such a vague marriage." ”

Ling said, "What is this called?" Where is the confusion, Liu Qianhu is a colleague of your father's guard, and his official position is higher than your father's, and he is a good person. My father and mother are all inquiring clearly, clearly, and knowing the roots, and then they want to set it for you. "Especially compared with the Xia family, the Xia family is a thousand times stronger.

Zhao Rong wiped away her tears and said, "What am I thinking in my heart, my father doesn't know, doesn't my mother know?" ”

Ling Shi pressed the table table and said sharply, "What do you know!" You are a boudoir girl, you have been studying since childhood, what should you think and what you shouldn't think, do you still want me to teach you? Since marriage, the life of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, you are an understanding person, don't think about what you shouldn't think! Okay, let's go to your house and figure it out! That's it! After Zhao Changqing's family affairs, the Ling family selfishly thought that Zhao Changqing was spoiled for her husband. When he got to the younger daughter, he must not follow the old path of the eldest daughter, so he reprimanded Zhao Rong quite harshly.

Zhao Rong returned to the house in tears, and she didn't eat that day, and the Ling family only treated her temper and ignored it.

Zhao Rong went on a hunger strike for two days in a row, and the Ling family couldn't sit still, so he went over to persuade him, "Are you stupid, Ah Teng's favorite is your sister, you are going to join in this excitement." He doesn't have you in his heart, even if you die and beg to marry in vain, how will you live? It's your second aunt's temper, who wants to let his daughter be her daughter-in-law, you are my own child, what am I not doing for your good? Tell me, what are you going to do here? Why don't you stab me to death with a knife! It also saves me from doing my best, and you treat me as an enemy. ”

Zhao Rong sobbed, "Whoever marries is Mother-in-law, I just see that my cousin is affectionate and righteous, and he is better than everyone in the world." ”

Seeing his daughter's elm head, Ling said hatefully, "He is affectionate and righteous to your sister, I watched you grow up, Ah Teng only treats you as a sister, you don't want to be so infatuated, but ask for your own hardship." ”

Zhao Rong choked up and said, "My mother didn't even ask, but I didn't want to know my cousin?" Although I am not as good as my sister, I don't think I am such a good-for-nothing girl. ”

Ling said that Zhao Rong wanted to marry Ling Teng with an iron heart, and the worried Ling family hated to hang herself, so she asked Yahuan to stew bird's nest and send it, but Zhao Rong didn't eat it. Ling discussed with her husband, "What can I do?" ”

As soon as the eldest daughter's family affairs settled down, Zhao Yong began to worry about the younger daughter's family affairs again, and sighed, "You call her to eat first, this family affair is not something that can be done by touching the skin of the mouth." If Ateng is willing, she wants to marry again, just marry. If Ah Teng is unwilling, the stupid girl can also die of heart. ”

Ling said, "It's okay." ”

Zhao Yong has been an official for many years, he can see that Ling Teng has a future, but he is not very reluctant to do this family matter, if nothing else, Ling Teng has always been on Zhao Changqing. If Ling Teng was willing to do this family matter, then what was his previous intention and affection for Zhao Changqing to live or die? Don't talk about others, Zhao Yong has to say that Ling Teng is just three and four. If Ling Teng uses the second daughter as a stand-in for the eldest daughter, how will the second daughter live after marriage? is the same daughter, even if Zhao Yong prefers the eldest daughter, it is not that he does not love the younger daughter, he is reluctant.

After Zhao Yong discussed with the Ling family, he asked the Ling family to go back to his mother's house to find out what the Ling family meant. If the Ling family is willing to speak for themselves, even if they are unwilling, it will not hurt Zhao Rong's reputation.

Ling went to her mother's house, but the old lady Ling was quite moved, and Ling said, "Ah Teng, this child, I grew up watching." At first, the mess was not mentioned at first, but I just took a fancy to Aten's affection. Changqing's family affairs have already been decided, although the Xia family is now in the border city, I don't know if I want to return to Shuzhong in the future. When I arrived at Ah Rong, she was the youngest daughter, and she was pampered since she was a child, and I couldn't rest assured about the relatives I was looking for outside. ”

Old Lady Ling said, "Ah Rong, this child has always been sensible, and I like her very much." After going through so many things, even if it wasn't Zhao Changqing's fault, Old Lady Ling's heart for Zhao Changqing was also lightened. Now that I heard my daughter mention Zhao Rong, thinking that Zhao Rong came to visit Ling Teng a few days ago, Mrs. Ling's heart softened by three points, and said, "It's just that I can't do this alone, so I have to discuss it with your father, and then ask your second brother and sister-in-law what they mean." Speaking of Second Mrs. Ling, Old Lady Ling sighed, "Ah Teng is well, she is sick again, you can't just throw her into the temple like this." It's nothing if she dies, I'm just worried that Ah Teng will take on the name of unfilial piety, and if she keeps filial piety for another three years, she will even have to delay the next branch of the spring, so I will temporarily ask her mother-in-law to live at home for a few days, and then call her back to the temple when she is well. ”

Ling smiled and didn't say anything.

This family matter, the Ling family looks good. Mrs. Yu Ling, Mrs. Ling, and Zhao Rong are their granddaughters; Yu Ling's family has two rooms, and Zhao Rong is a niece. At the beginning, Zhao Changqing was in the Ling family, and a big reason was this. What's more, Zhao Rong is known for his talents, and Zhao Yong is also a member of a hundred households, a serious six-rank military attaché, and now his family is wealthy, and he lives in a house with five entrances before and after, which is considered a first-class among the relatives of the Ling family. Even if Ling Teng was promoted, Zhao Rong would marry Ling Teng, and she would never be wronged by Ling Teng.

It was Mrs. Ling, who was pretending to be sick at home, and she was a little complacent when she knew about it, and said to her husband in private, "Changqing's hooves, picked up and picked up, I thought she had to marry a unique family, I don't want to marry a criminal official family willingly, I want to see how long she is proud!" Seeing that her husband's face was a little dark, Second Mrs. Ling raised her eyebrows and said coldly, "Don't think I'm talking badly, let's Ah Teng, how did I raise him without blinking since I was a child." Since I was a child, I haven't sneezed a single sneeze. Just because of Changqing, his life was almost gone, and you still complained about me! ”

Second Uncle Ling said in a sullen voice, "Ah Teng is sick, and he can't blame Changqing, or Doctor Xia has cured Ah Teng, you don't have to be blind and angry." Let's just talk about Ah Rong's family matter, are you happy or not. If you don't like it, I'll go and say goodbye to Aten. ”

Second Mrs. Ling glared, "Are you stupid?" How can this not be pleased. My brother-in-law is a serious hundred, and my sister's family has had a good life in the past few years, and the marriage is not young or old! Why shouldn't it, this family affair should be answered, and I don't have to pretend to be sick in the house all the time. ”

Second Uncle Ling said, "I also think that Ah Rong's child is supple and very good. ”

Second Mrs. Ling said firmly, "A thousand times stronger than Changqing's hooves." ”

However, Second Sister Ling heard her mother talk about Ling Teng and Zhao Rong's family affair, "There is no need to shy away from it at home, we all know that Brother Teng's heart is in Sister Qing, although he owes some fate, but what is the matter with Brother Teng marrying Sister Rong?" I don't think it's good. ”

Mrs. Ling said, "Do you know what's going on?" You have to know what is good, you won't call me anxious like that. "Second Sister Ling has been away for several years, and now she is already slim, her beauty has reappeared, she is dignified and generous, and there are often people who come to match, but Second Sister Ling is unwilling, she can simply kill Mrs. Ling in a hurry.

Second Sister Ling smiled, "I think so myself, and I don't know what Brother Teng means, it's better to ask Brother Teng, he has always had an idea." ”

"Naturally, I have to ask Aten." Mrs. Ling couldn't help but be a little sarcastic in her words, and said, "If nothing else, if this matter can be done, your second aunt will also save yourself from lying in the room every day and pretending to be bad." ”

Second Sister Ling smiled, "My aunt has always been soft-hearted, even if my aunt doesn't pretend to be sick, she lives at home, and she won't say anything if she wants to come." ”

Mrs. Ling sighed, too lazy to evaluate Mrs. Ling.

To the family's surprise, Ling Teng refused this family affair, and Ling Teng said it clearly, "I have always taken Sister Rong as my sister, and I have no other thoughts." What's more, the fame has not been achieved, and it is necessary to prepare for the next branch of the spring school, and there is no intention for men and women. ”

Second Mrs. Ling wanted to make trouble, Ling Teng had already seen through his mother's thoughts, and said, "If my mother doesn't want to go to the temple, I will ask my aunt for it, and my aunt will not necessarily ask my mother to go to the temple to recite the scriptures." ”

Second Mrs. Ling raised her eyebrows, "Could it be that I'm for myself, think about Sister Rong, where is not worthy of you?" What's more, isn't it easy to take the spring exam, if you don't get through, you won't be married for the rest of your life? The future matters, so doesn't my grandson matter! Don't be dizzy, you can't tell the difference! ”

What else did Mrs. Ling have to say, Ling Teng has already picked up the book and read it without hearing what is going on outside the window. Although Mrs. Ling's second wife has a hot temperament, there is another benefit, as long as her son reads and learns calligraphy, she will not bother with a word. Seeing her son studying, Second Mrs. Ling pursed her mouth, and finally held back the words full of words, and went back to the house to complain to her husband, "My son can't help it, he can't listen to what I say." A left-minded kid is born unblessed! "Such a good family affair with one stone, and Zhao Rong has a good dowry, I really don't know where Ling Teng is unhappy, why is he so blind and falls in love with Zhao Changqing!

Hearing his wife's complaints, Second Uncle Ling just drank tea with his head bored and did not speak.

Second Mrs. Ling complained to her daughter who returned to her parents' house, but Third Sister Ling disagreed, and said, "Ah Teng is now a lifter, except for his aunt's family, is there no good family?" Mother doesn't have to hang herself from a tree! ”

Second Mrs. Ling said, "How do you know that your aunt and uncle are so powerful, I had to go to the temple for ten years, but it has only been more than three years, if your aunt cares, I have to go to the temple again." What's more, your uncle is a six-rank official, and his family is also rich, and when Rong Yatou marries, he can't get a good makeup. ”

Second Mrs. Ling sighed and asked her daughter again, "The eldest girl is five years old, you should also think about having another one, in the end, you have a son, your heart is solid, why is there no movement, you and your son-in-law have to work hard." ”

Third Sister Ling's face was cold, "It's easy for my mother to say, work harder?" How do I add it? I know all day long that I can read and study, but I can't read it for a reason! I've been to Fucheng twice, and I haven't come back with a single bird feather test! Those few acres of thin fields, the total income of a year is not two or three hundred taels, is it enough to eat or drink? Still not dependent on my shop subsidy? I'll say a little more, the mother and son give me a look with one heart! As if I was going to hurt him! ”

Second Mrs. Ling persuaded, "The son-in-law is still young, and it is understandable that he wants to study for a few more years, what are you doing." Even if you are persuasive, you have to persuade you softly, like you, how can your mother-in-law like you? ”

"My mother doesn't know, my mother-in-law only thinks I am a thief, what is there at home, just less than 300 acres of thin fields, never asked me to take care of it, and all the money I earn is hidden in my belt. At home, I have one meat dish a day, and I talk about scrambled eggs with shallots, and I talk about frugality every day, as if I am a loser. Third Sister Ling didn't have a good breath, "When I gave birth to a big girl, how hard it was, I didn't want to drink chicken soup, and I knew how to eat eggs and eat eggs all day long." also said that I was born, I just gave birth to hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren to their Lao Lin family, and no one knew my feelings! ”

Second Mrs. Ling said, "You Mo always said that your mother-in-law's family was poor, when I married your father, we hadn't separated yet, and the family only had 300 acres of land and a shop, and we didn't live slowly." You are young now, don't be anxious, look at your eldest sister, where did she have the money to accompany her to the shop when she got married, and now your eldest sister has saved two shops, her son gave birth to three, and her daughter also gave birth to one, and the Chen family looks at her like a baby. You are a hundred times stronger than her, and Son-in-law Lin is also a hundred times stronger than your brother-in-law Chen, why can't you live. ”

"Brother-in-law Chen has at least two taels of silver a month, what does he have? Buy paper, buy ink, write poems and essays, you don't need money! Earn nothing, only spend money! Third Sister Ling came back angrily and said, "Anyway, mother, you are sick, I have already told my mother-in-law, come back for a few days, and serve my mother." ”

Second Mrs. Ling sighed, in the past few years in the temple, she has seen her daughter only a lot, and she really misses her daughter, so she let her stay, and asked, "Why didn't you bring it?" ”

Ling Sanjie said, "My mother-in-law is fine at home, she looks at me unpleasantly all day long, ask her to take the children, and she can understand my hard work." ”

Second Mrs. Ling didn't say much, thinking about when she would enlighten her daughter again.

Ling Teng's refusal to deal with his relatives brought a great blow to Zhao Rong, and Zhao Rong fell ill after that, but with Mr. Su at home, it was not easy to get seriously ill. After Zhao Rong was very well, he was catching up with the uncle of the Ji family, and personally came to the door to invite Mr. Su to teach at home earlier, and learned that Mr. Su wanted to wait for Zhao Changqing to leave the cabinet, Uncle Ji smiled and said, "Mr. has passed, and he will be neighbors with Dr. Zhao in the future." It is Dr. Zhao's great joy, and Mr. can come back to send Dr. Zhao to Dr. Zhao. It's not that I don't know the reason, it's really that the inner child is pregnant and will be in July, and the younger brother at home goes out to work every day, only Sister Fu is by the side of the inner child, and Sister Fu is still young, so I really don't feel at ease. I wanted to invite my husband over in advance, but I was also selfish, thinking that my husband could be a companion with Uchiko. What's more, my husband's medical skills are exquisite, and with my husband at home, I can also feel at ease in the army. ”

Uncle Ji said it so clearly, Mr. Su couldn't excuse himself, and after talking to Mrs. Zhao and Ling, he moved over on a certain day. Mrs. Zhao Ling was quite reluctant, Ling said, "We have been together for more than ten years, my mother's family has no sisters, we are like sisters, and Ah Bai is also sensible. ”

Mr. Su smiled, "Look at what Sister Ling said, won't I come back?" You don't dislike me, I come over every once in a while, let's talk to the old lady together, this is lively. ”

Ling smiled, "If you don't come, I will go to find you." ”

Mrs. Zhao smiled, "The house is still reserved for Mr. and Ah Bai, and it is the same as a maiden home here." Hearing this, Mr. Su's heart was slightly sour, and he still smiled and talked to the Zhao family: What a wonderful family, she was born in wealth and grew up in glory, and most of her life, after careful calculation, she has only lived more than ten years of peace.

Uncle Ji sent Xiao Ji's account room and steward to pick up with a carriage and horse, Zhao Changning, Zhao Changyu, Su Bai rode a horse, Zhao Changqing and Mr. Su took a car, and everyone sent Mr. Su's mother and son to Ji's house.

When Mr. Su settled in the Ji family and the autumn breeze rose, Zhao Changqing had something else to discuss with his father, "Daddy, it is the anniversary of the grandfather and the ancestor." ”

Zhao Yong said, "When the time comes, we will also go to worship and worship." ”

Yongfu brought the tea, Zhao Changqing took it, held one and gave it to his father, and said, "Daddy, the ancestor and the grandfather favored it at the beginning, and they also gave me a copy when they divided things." At that time, I was only sad and didn't have the energy to think about it, but now that I think about it, I always feel that it is not appropriate. The elders of the grandmother's generation all got the things of the ancestors and the grandfather, and when they were counted to the grandchildren, only the eldest son of the eldest uncle's family got a share, and the great-grandchildren were counted, and only the Qing Xiaoye of the sixth uncle's family got a share. If my surname is Zhu, it's okay, but it's a foreign surname, a big family like the Zhu family, there are countless children and grandchildren, I have got so many things, I don't know how many people are red-eyed. If I was reluctant to do so when I was short of money in the past, I thought that now our family's life is smooth, and the money is enough to spend. These things, my father and mother don't ask, only I dispose of them, I take one or two pieces as a memorial, and the rest, I want to take advantage of the anniversary of my grandfather and ancestors to donate it. ”

Zhao Yong was very surprised, "Donate? This is not a small amount, although he and his wife let Zhao Changqing dispose of it by himself, it is his selfishness, thinking that the fate of the eldest daughter is bumpy, and it is good to leave more money to live by. He had seen these things, and he couldn't hold them for 30,000 taels of silver. At first glance, when he heard that Zhao Changqing was going to donate it, Zhao Yong was also stunned and asked, "Who to donate to?" ”

Zhao Changqing said softly, "Daddy, A Ning, and A Yu have all studied in the Zhu family, and this silver, I want to donate it to the Zhu family, which is considered public property, and the silver money has been realized in the clan and placed into sacrificial fields. ”

Zhao Yong asked, "Have you discussed it with your son-in-law?" ”

Zhao Changqing said, "I naturally discussed with my father first, and my father felt good, so I will tell him later." ”

Zhao Yong said, "If you want to donate, donate now." Otherwise, these will be counted in your dowry, and if you donate it after getting married, your in-laws will not be willing. "Although the daughter-in-law's dowry is the daughter-in-law's private property, it can be argued that the daughter-in-law's dowry must be left to her own children, and the in-law's family cannot interfere, but it does not mean that the in-law's family cannot express their opinions, let alone such a large amount of property.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I understand, so I discussed it with my father." ”

Zhao Yong is a man in the end, with a big heart, and said, "You have this pen, although it is inevitable that some people will be red, but our family is not bullied, if you want to stay, just stay, don't worry about this." If you really want to donate, it doesn't hurt to donate it. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Daddy, don't worry, it's good if you have enough money, and it's useless to keep too much." ”

Zhao Yong smiled and sighed, "I really don't know who you look like, your mother often complains that I am stupid and generous, you are more generous than me, and your mother knows and has to make noise about me." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "The mother is in charge of the small things in the family, and the big things still have to be listened to by the father, right?" He also patted Zhao Yong's ass.

Zhao Yong smiled, "Yes, Daddy is the head of the family." "In the end, he has to listen to his wife's nagging.

After thinking about it, it is not without benefit for Zhao Changqing to donate this money. The grandfather and ancestor of the Zhu family have passed away, but there are many children and grandchildren who are officials, even if there are no high-ranking officials, they are also prominent families in the border city, and they are Zhao Yong's foreign family. Zhao Changqing took this money, there are not a few people who are red-eyed, she donated it for ethnography, even if the Zhu family doesn't get anything, their hearts can be calm. It's a bit strange to say this, but it's in most people's minds.

Zhao Yong said to Ling, Ling's really looked like digging her heart and liver, and said angrily, "That girl doesn't know her head, there are so many things, she is not happy to ask for them, just give them to me!" What to donate! Could it be that our family is some kind of rich man! Seeing that Ah Rong, Aning, and Ah Yu are all older, the money for marriage is tight! She gave me a ruined family like this! A girl who was born with no financial luck! I'll move those boxes of things to me tomorrow! Save her from thinking about going out every day! ”

Zhao Yong is worthy of being the head of the family, I don't know what to do, I talked with the Ling family in the middle of the night, although the Ling family was still not very happy, but no longer objected.

After Mrs. Zhao heard about this, although she was a little embarrassed, she was getting older, and said softly, "You can dispose of your things yourself." It is good to donate it for ethnography, and before her mother died, she specially allocated 10,000 taels of silver for ethnography. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Yes." ”

When Zhao Changqing mentioned this matter to Xia Wen, Xia Wen had no opinion, and said happily, "It's good if you're happy." "I am very proud in my heart, he used to have classmates, married a stingy mother-in-law, and there was no money for the classmates to eat and drink together, save a few private money like a thief, see how generous his daughter-in-law is!

When Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu celebrate their anniversaries and burn the anniversary paper, the grandchildren will be filial, that is, the sons, and after the first year, the remaining two years do not have to be as strict as the first year. The Zhu family invited guests according to custom, and all the married daughters in the city went, and Mrs. Zhao took the family there.

There are ten brothers in the older generation of the Zhu family, and the youngest tenth uncle is also at the age of slightly frosty corners, Zhao Yong told Uncle Zhu about donating silver, and the other nine uncles and several old and virtuous clan elders are also there, and they all listened to it, and suddenly felt a little bad in their hearts: Without him, Zhao Changqing's life is also good, why is this, you are a girl, a granddaughter, you will get a share, and we will be on a par.

Today, when I heard that people were going to donate this money, everyone had some other thoughts, Uncle Zhu first said, "It was given to Changqing by my father and mother, she can stand it, I heard that her family affairs are also decided, and she took it to make a dowry for the girl, and her father and mother are also happy." ”

Zhao Yong smiled, "Her dowry, I saved it for her when she was a child, I dare not compare it with what my grandfather and grandmother gave her, don't hide it from my uncles, I am used to living a small life." It's Changqing, and I also thought in my heart, not to mention that I have been attached to school since I was a child, but her two younger brothers have also been attached to school since childhood. Moreover, this is not for others, but for the clan, Changqing said, if you can realize the silver money, put it into acres, as a sacrificial field, but this part of the sacrificial field, all of it is used for clan studies. ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Uncle Zhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but also everyone else was convinced. If this money belongs to the clan, there must be no unfair distribution, or the filling of private pockets, and now the money is turned into money and placed as a sacrificial field, even if it can only be used for clan studies, it is also a matter of benefiting the clan. Uncle Zhu is the patriarch and has been a high-ranking official for many years, although he knows that this amount of silver is a lot, and he will not be inferior to this silver, but he doesn't want to bear other reputations because of this silver. At this point, an old man of the clan praised, "Hey, my old brother has always been high-eyed, and he can't look down on idlers. ”

Someone started, and everyone praised Zhao Changqing. Zhao Yong paved the steps for Uncle Zhu again, and said, "I hope that my uncles will fulfill my girl's infatuation." ”

Uncle Zhu nodded, thinking that Zhao Changqing was indeed a little different, this large sum of money, he said that he would donate it. Thinking about the mention of Zhao Changqing in several letters when his mother was alive, he always felt that the Zhao family was lowly and unsatisfactory because of his high heart, so he politely rejected his mother's suggestion. When he went home last year, the family affair was not completed, but because of a girl who didn't know what to do, he turned his eyes against him, and then caused his parents to pass away, and Uncle Zhu was sad again. He has been an official for many years, but he is no more poisonous than his father, and his father treats people differently, although he is a girl, it seems that he is indeed outstanding. Uncle Zhu thought about it in his heart, after a while, it will be the day when Zhao Changqing will leave the cabinet, even if he can't go, he has to ask his son and daughter-in-law's good life to add makeup to ease the relationship between the two families, and it will be lively and lively.

Zhao Changqing's donation of good popularity is directly expressed that on the day she added makeup, the uncles of the Zhu family had no way to pass, so they all sent their daughters-in-law to add makeup to Zhao Changqing, and there were a few valuable things in the makeup, that is, everyone was closer to Zhao Yong, and they were particularly respectful in front of Mrs. Zhao.

Acquaintances such as the Yuan family flattered Mrs. Zhao very much.

Yuan thinks that he is not a stupid person, but he can't understand Zhao Changqing. Zhao Changqing donated all the gifts of Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu at once, and the couple of Zhu Mingtang and Yuan didn't have any sour words, and Yuan also asked her husband, "Is this Qing girl stupid?" "I made a marriage with the son of a criminal official before, and now I donate this large amount of money to the clan to buy sacrificial fields. Zhu Qingde's share, which the Yuan family kept for his son, was all precious things, and it cost tens of thousands of silver, where could he use it. What's more, donate to the clan like Zhao Changqing? Stupid?

Zhu Mingtang thought for a moment, but couldn't think of the reason why Zhao Changqing did charity so much, so he just said, "She can't be stupid if you are stupid." ”

Now looking at the Zhu clan who came to add makeup to Zhao Changqing, the Yuan family suddenly understood that not only did the ten families of the older generation come, but also several clan elders who were in the clan also wore the younger generation to add makeup. Yuan sighed lightly, it's really not that Zhao Changqing is stupid, it's that she is stupid.

Such a shrewd girl, how can she be underestimated because she is married to an unremarkable boy?

Thinking about it like this, the Yuan family added a little more sincerity, stayed in Zhao's house for most of the day, used the banquet at noon, and resigned in front of Mrs. Zhao in the afternoon, and then went to see Zhao Changqing, took Zhao Changqing's hand and said a few words of concern, Fang and the concubines said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he made an appointment with the Ling family, and he would definitely come to have a lively day when Zhao Changqing left the pavilion.

Ling was busy from morning to night, taking care of this day, and by the evening he was too tired to do so. Zhao Changqing and Zhao Rong watched the maids clean up in the inner house, and outside were Zhao Changning, Zhao Changyu, pears, pears, fruits, and Su Bai, and Zhao Yong had gone to the house to sober up.

On the second day, Ling looked at the list of relatives and friends who added makeup to Zhao Changqing, and added a smile to his face, and said to his husband, "The friends and relatives we have made over the years have finally not been in vain, and these many things can be combined into six more sets."

Zhao Yong asked, "How many dowries are there?" ”

Ling said, "The Xia family is not spacious, and Changqing doesn't need much furniture, and there are not many furniture, twelve sets." There are also fine and soft jewelry, rouge gouache, silk and satin, clothes of the four seasons, bedding and fur, and there are forty of these. There are six makeup additives, a total of fifty-eight. ”

Zhao Yong nodded, "That's a lot." ”

Ling raised his eyebrows, "It's not a lot, I married you at that time, and there were only twenty-four dowries in total." What's more, these things are still on the surface, there are two houses and a mountain outside Changqing, as well as her medicine hall, a business in partnership with Shopkeeper Li, and a rouge shop in partnership with Boss Lin. It's not that I'm saying sour things, even if the girl of the prefect's family gets married, she may not have such a rich dowry as our daughter. Thinking about the Xia family's poor family and settling down, the Ling family couldn't help but block their hearts and said, "The Xia family has really accumulated virtue for eight lifetimes. ”

Zhao Yong held Ling's hand and said with a smile, "It's a big deal." ”

Ling pointed to the gift list and said, "Other people's dowries are nothing more than to make a face, and our family is more affordable." Changqing will save herself, she has a lot of good materials and good things. Even if the Xia family is poor, they won't be able to suffer from her in the future. "The Ling family actually spent a total of two thousand taels, and the big heads she said were all earned by Zhao Changqing himself.

Ling also told the truth and said, "This child, I originally thought that although she had a lot of private rooms, she would have to take out three thousand taels for her anyway. She didn't want to show off, so she only spent two thousand taels. The remaining 1,000 taels, add another 1,000 taels, give her a silver ticket, and ask her to be a private room. ”

Zhao Yong nodded, "It's okay." "The daughter has it, and it belongs to the daughter. The dowry is the will of the parents, how much it should be, and the parents should not be able to pull out a dime because the eldest daughter is capable.

Ling sighed, "It's just the same, Changqing's rich dowry, when he comes to Ah Rong, I'm afraid there won't be so much." ”

Zhao Yong smiled, "It's not comparable, most of the heads were purchased by Changqing herself, I don't know when she bought the house, why did she buy a mountain?" ”

Ling said, "The apricot blossoms produced on that mountain are just right for rouge shops." ”

The husband and wife talked a lot about their children, the eldest daughter couldn't get married, and the husband and wife were anxious, so they saw that they were going to get married, and they were reluctant.

The night before Zhao Changqing's wedding, Ling took a copy of the Spring Palace to popularize the knowledge of husband and wife to Zhao Changqing, and sent Yahuan and Zhao Changqing to say, "These things, the son-in-law is a doctor, and he understands it." But if you don't understand, don't make jokes. You see, it's good to have a number in mind. ”

Zhao Changqing looked at it and asked, "Mother, do you usually watch it with your father?" ”

Ling Shi blushed in shame and said lightly, "Nonsense, just take a look, and if you want to see it, you can sneak it yourself." Put it at the bottom of the box, and don't let outsiders see it. It means that he didn't say anything, so he asked Zhao Changqing to put it up.

"I know."

Ling looked at Zhao Changqing's beautiful face, stroked her hair, and sighed lightly, "You have been different from other children since you were a child, you are extraordinarily capable, and you also have ideas in your heart. If you don't get married, I'm anxious to look forward to your marriage. You are looking at this to get married, and I am very reluctant in my heart. As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he wiped his tears with a handkerchief, "When I go to someone else's house, I can't be the same as my mother's house, I can do whatever I want." Especially in front of your mother-in-law, you just have to respond to whatever she says. If you feel bad in your heart, don't tell your mother-in-law directly, ask Xia Wen to tell his mother. Mother and son are close, and it doesn't hurt to say good or bad. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are different, so you have to pay extra attention. It's better to be polite than to be too casual. As the saying goes, many people are not to blame, that's the truth. Although the Xia family is poorer, I think Xia Wen is also considerate and honest to you, just live a good life, stay for two years, ask your father to go to the activity for a while, and atone for your father-in-law, and the family will be peaceful......"

Ling said a lot in a word, and tears fell as he spoke. Zhao Changqing held Ling's hand and said softly, "Mother, don't worry, I will live a good life." ”

"That's good, that's good." Ling wiped away his tears and said with a smile, "It's strange to say that people are patriarchal, what's the use of having a daughter, I have been so pampered for twenty years, I myself am reluctant to let you go, and when you reach the age, you will go to someone else's family to be a daughter-in-law." "How hard.

Ling Shi cried and wet a handkerchief, Zhao Changqing stroked her back, and said again, "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely live a good life." ”

My life will always be my life.

Whoever I left and who I lost is still my life.

Come to think of it, this is life.
