Chapter 172
Two days later, Xia Wen gave Zhao Changqing another jar of pickles, and even wrote a copy of the method of making pickles and gave it to Zhao Changqing, and said with a smile, "If you are interested, give it a try, if you feel that the taste is wrong, tell me again, I will ask my mother." ”
Zhao Changqing thanked Xia Wen for the pickles first, and smiled, "Okay." But it takes June to make pickles, and melons and vegetables are cheap at that time. ”
"yes." Xia Wen smiled, "If you buy vegetables to pickle pickles now, it is better to buy ready-made cost-effective." "Spring vegetables are the most expensive, especially in border towns. Xia Wen smiled, "Last time, I told my family about the method of removing the smell of milk, and I tried it, and it was really good." ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "That's good." ”
A few days later, Zhao Changqing met the servants of the Zheng family.
It was Zheng Miaojia's personal entourage Zheng Fu, Zheng Fu first asked Zhao Changqing to say goodbye, Zhao Changqing smiled, "Why do you have time to come to the border city?" Next year is the year of spring, I thought you would have to follow Brother Zheng to the imperial capital in advance. ”
Zheng Fu smiled, "The eldest girl guessed that she originally planned to go to the imperial capital with her uncle in the next few days. It just so happened that the emperor came to the holy decree, and our lord was promoted to the imperial history of the left capital, and he was going to the imperial capital to take office. The uncle sent the little one over to tell the big girl, in the past few years, the big girl's business has gone to the south, and we have taken advantage of the convenience of the big girl to communicate with the big girl. Now that the family is going to the imperial capital, the little one is ordered to talk to the big girl. There are also a few letters, which were written by the old lady to my eldest girl, and if it is convenient at any time, I have to trouble the eldest girl to bring it and ask someone to send it to my eldest girl. ”
Yongfu stepped forward to answer the letter, Zhao Changqing smiled, "What's this, it's just a matter of incident, and I often write to Sister Zheng myself." Now that the business is convenient, when Sister Zheng replies to the letter, when they go to the imperial capital, I will ask someone to send it to your house. ”
Zheng Fu hurriedly bowed again, "The eldest girl did it easily, but it solved the big trouble of my old lady." The uncle said that he originally wanted to come in person, but the family affairs were cumbersome, and he couldn't get away, so he sent the little one over, and he had to see the eldest girl in person. ”
Zhao Changqing smiled and asked everyone in the Zheng family how they were doing, said a few words, and then sent Zheng Fu down to rest.
The Ling clan also rejoiced, and said with a smile, "A good official like Lord Zheng deserves to be promoted." It's just that Lord Zheng was the imperial history before, and he was only a seven-rank official. Now that he is going to do the imperial history again, why does Zheng Fu still say that his master is promoted? ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "The imperial history is also divided into grades, and the imperial history of Zuodu is the head of all imperial histories, and the central government is a high-ranking official." In the past, when there was a big case, it was said that the three divisions would be tried, and the three divisions referred to the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai. ”
Ling Shi exclaimed, "This is really amazing. ”
"yes."
Ling said, "Do we want to prepare something for Zheng Fu to bring, and it is also to congratulate Lord Zheng on his promotion." ”
Zhao Changqing said with a smile, "Lord Zheng has such a clear temper, he must be unhappy to send valuable things, not to mention that the Zheng family is about to go to the imperial capital, this trip is similar to moving, just prepare some ordinary things to carry." ”
Mrs. Zhao smiled, "That's true." ”
When Mrs. Zhao Changqing and Mrs. Zhao said this, the Ling family made a difficulty, and chatted with her husband at night, "You say, what is not expensive and easy to carry, and the Zheng family still likes it when they see it?" I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't come up with a good object. ”
Zhao Yong smiled, "You just ask Changqing, maybe she has an idea." Lord Zheng is the most incorruptible, and he really can't give valuables. Ah Yu is going to be an examiner in the next few days, how are you preparing? ”
Ling said, "A-Ning said that there is no big problem. A-Ning said that he wanted to take the show next year before giving it a try. ”
Zhao Yong said, "He will only be sixteen next year, will he succeed?" Ah Bai was the head of the sixteenth exam, and Ah Ning was still not as good as Ah Bai in his studies. ”
"If he wanted to take the test, he told him to try it. It doesn't matter if he is the first person in the case, the child is motivated, let's not stop him. ”
Zhao Yong smiled, "This also makes sense." Isn't it a break in school today, why don't you see A-Ning's shadow? ”
Ling sighed, "Don't mention it, since I met that Master Ji, Ah Ning often runs to other people's houses, either to run horses and hunt, or to boil his muscles." It's just sad. He also said that he would take the exam next year, although it was not easy to stop him from progressing, but it was not a problem to always be so crazy, and I would have to talk about him when he came back in a while. ”
Zhao Yong smiled, "Agen is not very old, and his temperament is free and easy, so it doesn't hurt for Aningduo to play with him." Boys, you have to make friends. ”
"That's when the score is also due." Ling said, "If you want to take the test, you have to study hard, and if you run crazy, what else can you do!" ”
The couple spoke for a while, and then stopped.
On the second day, Zhao Yong went to the guard house as usual. The Ling family called Zhao Changqing to discuss the gift to the Zheng family, and Zhao Changqing said, "I prepared a painting for Mrs. Zheng, so don't prepare it, the Zheng family's temper is not good to prepare gifts." ”
Ling asked, "What painting?" ”
"I used to paint the scenery of our border city. Master Zheng has been an official in the border city for a few years, and I don't know if there will be a chance to come to the border city again in the future. Zhao Changqing smiled, "Moreover, as soon as the painting is put in the painting tube, Zheng Fu can also take it." Let's ask someone to prepare the food that Zheng Zhang brought on his return trip, and he rode fast all the way, and it was hard enough. ”
"You can rest assured that I have already asked someone to prepare, and now that it is not hot, bring some cooked food for him to eat on the road, which is affordable and anti-hunger."
Zhao Changqing smiled, "I'll take the painting to frame it in a while." ”
"Where to use you to go in person, there are idlers in our family, you bring the painting, I will ask Laifu to take it to the frame, Zheng Fu will go back tomorrow."
"Okay."
Zhao Changqing also wrote a letter, and Zhao Yong also wrote a letter and asked Zheng Fu to bring it back.
Zhao Changqing really didn't expect Zheng Miaojia to come to the border city, Zheng Miaojia directly found Zhao Changqing's pharmacy, Zhao Changqing was both surprised and happy, got up and said, "Brother Zheng, why are you here?" ”
Zheng Miaojia smiled, "I heard that you became a miracle doctor, I came to see you." ”
Zhao Changqing invited Zheng Miaojia into the inner room to speak, Zheng Miaojia smiled, "I'm going to the imperial capital, let's take a walk outside, I haven't been to the border city for a long time, and I miss it." ”
Zhao Changqing explained the matter of the medicine hall to Xia Wen, and Xia Wen smiled in response, and looked at Zheng Miaojia a few more times.
Zheng Fu looked for a carriage outside, Zheng Miaojia invited Zhao Changqing to get into the carriage, rode a horse by himself, and arrived at Chu Yu's original courtyard in a short time. There was only an old man in the small courtyard who was looking at the house, and when he saw Zhao Changqing, he hurriedly invited the two of them to come in and talk.
Zheng Miaojia looked at the small courtyard where the scenery was the same as it was at the beginning, and said, "I'm leaving, I don't know when I will go back to the border city in the future, and I want to come back to give Brother Chu a pillar of incense." ”
"It's fine." Zhao Changqing led Zheng Miaojia to the main hall, and it can be seen that the old man who watched the house was very conscientious, not only the courtyard was neat, but the hall was also very clean, and the fruits on the offering were fresh. Zheng Miaojia took the incense and bowed three times, and inserted the incense into the incense burner.
Zheng Miaojia asked, "Do you still come here often?" ”
Zhao Changqing said, "I don't come often." ”
If you don't come often, how can the old man who looks at the house clean so seriously? Zheng Miaojia's heart was slightly sour, and she asked, "Sister Qing, are you willing to marry me?" ”
Zhao Changqing was startled for a moment, looking at Zheng Miaojia speechless. Zheng Miaojia looked at Zhao Changqing's dark pupils, and said softly, "In the past few years, we have not cut off communication, and your letter says that it is very good." I didn't come to the border city, and I didn't know about the border city, Zheng Fu went back, and I knew that you were not doing well at all. I know that you can't let go of Brother Chu in your heart. A person who is affectionate and righteous is affectionate and righteous to everyone. If you are forced to forget Brother Chu, it will not be you. Sister Qing, I may have many things that are not as good as Brother Chu, but I respect you, appreciate you, and will treat you seriously. I thought, can you let me take care of you instead of Brother Chu? ”
Zhao Changqing's eyes flashed, but he smiled slightly, "Zheng Fu just listened to some gossip, not so strict, if I wanted to marry, I would have been able to marry a long time ago, but I just wanted to wait two more years." ”
Zheng Miaojia sighed lightly, "Chu Yu has passed away, Sister Qing." ”
"I know." Zhao Changqing turned his back to Zheng Miaojia, gently wiped Chu Yu's tablet with a handkerchief, and said softly, "At the beginning, he waited for me to be twenty years old, and I also waited for him to be twenty years old. He has a deep affection for me, and his affection is not over yet, how can I get married. ”
Zheng Miaojia has never been so sorry for a girl from the bottom of her heart, Zhao Changqing is thoughtful in everything, convenient for people everywhere, soft-hearted, first-class character, even if Zheng Miaojia is a man, he is also very respectful. But I don't know why the fate is so bad, Zheng Miaojia heard Zheng Fu say those things in the border city, thought about it all night, and decided to go to the imperial capital to come to the border city for a trip. As soon as he was about to say something, he heard Zhao Changqing say, "Brother Zheng doesn't have to pity me, it has always been my luck to have someone like Brother Chu in my life." Now I am sad, but it is only because there was too much happiness in the first place that is unforgettable. This is the way it is in this world, how much happiness God gives you, and how much pain it gives you. How much toil you give will give you as much wealth. ”
Zheng Miaojia was slightly sad, "Then you also have to cherish yourself, how cherished Chu Yu treated you during his lifetime, if he has a spirit in the sky, knowing that you have suffered so many grievances, I don't know how to feel distressed." ”
Zhao Changqing took a deep breath, "I know. I know. ”
"You will be twenty years old next year, if you want to marry, send me a letter, and I will marry you." Zheng Miaojia said softly, "Even if you don't want to marry, don't let those bastards ruin your reputation." is to marry someone else, but also marry a worthy person, don't just marry a man who is not worthy of you. I treat you far less affectionately than Chu Yu, I think so. I think that even Chu Yu must think the same way. ”
The author has something to say: all day long is about marriage, as if a woman does not get married when she reaches the age and immediately degenerates to worthless, it has become a living suffering, all kinds of people must first inquire about your marital status when they meet, and they must meddle in your life can not be happy! It's so annoying, I feel completely unfree, as if my life is not my life, and I am not living for myself, I am living for someone else.
