Chapter 106

The Zhao family was also very happy to know that Ouyang Qingfeng came to the border town. In particular, Zhao Changqing repeatedly praised Ouyang Qingfeng for his outstanding character and said, "As close to Mr. Su, he is very knowledgeable. Not to mention martial arts, even from the perspective of character, Aning can make more contact with such elders, it will be beneficial and harmless."

Ling was worried about his son's apprenticeship and raised his eyebrows and asked Zhao Changqing, "Then is the matter of your brother's apprenticeship accurate?"

Zhao Changqing took the tea handed over by Yongfu and said with a smile, "Master Ouyang came to the border town the first day, and was covered in dust and tired faces. How could he speak at this time? If he asked Master Ouyang to reject it, wouldn't there be room for turning around?"

Ling knew that he was too anxious and smiled, "This is a great reason. It's a matter of time. You have always been smart. When will you speak up when you look at the other person's mood? Even if they don't want to accept disciples, as you said, it's good to ask your brother to listen to the elders' teachings more."

After talking about Master Ouyang, Ling said, "Let's go to my ancestors to pay my respects tomorrow, don't forget to dress brightly."

Zhao Changqing responded and said, "Mother, I see the fur in the shop has arrived. Can the eldest aunt choose the eldest sister's dowry?"

Ling smiled, "I asked your aunt to choose from first. She has picked a lot of bad things, not just to prepare for your elder sister. Your second sister will be in the forefront next year, and the marriage will be soon."

"Yes, I feel it's just a blink of an eye." Zhao Changqing smiled, "The second sister has lost weight in the past two years. They have three sisters. The second sister has the best eyebrows and eyes, so she will definitely not worry about marriage."

Ling also said, "Yes, your second sister has been fat since childhood, and she can't see good eyebrows on weekdays. After losing weight, she is really a beauty. Now she is just a little fat, but she is lucky. Now someone is asking your aunt for your second sister." She was also very happy for her niece.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I remember Sister Ling is the same age as the second sister, so Sister Ling will be in the same age next year. Uncle Yuan has always been very angry, and I wonder what kind of marriage to Sister Ling?" Because she was going to pay her respects tomorrow, Zhao Changqing just asked casually.

Ling smiled, "Based on the Zhu family's family background, your sister Ling is another outstanding person. It is not difficult to find a good family in the border town."

The mother and daughter said a lot, and when they had dinner in the evening, they went to Mrs. Zhao's house together.

The next day, the family of women went to Zhu's house to pay tribute to Mrs. Zhu.

Since the incident of Zhao Changning being almost abducted, Yuan has become more enthusiastic about the Zhao family. She heard from her husband Zhu Mingtang that the Zhao family could not find a son that day, and later the eldest son of the General's family came forward to find Zhao Changning back. Thinking of Zhao Yong's smooth sailing over the past few years and now he has been promoted to a hundred households, I think he must have taken the line to the General's Mansion. He is really not showing off and has such skills.

Even the Zhao sisters are much more pretty now.

Even Mrs. Zhu liked the sisters as she saw that Zhao Changqing made a warm hat to honor Mrs. Zhu. Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's cold in autumn. When I made a warm hat for my grandmother, I thought it was a good material, thick and warm, so I made one for my ancestors."

Seeing the old lady coaxing Zhao Changqing, Yuan thought to himself that ordinary people can't compare with Zhao Changqing's ability to climb up. The Zhu family believes that everyone is a scholar, Zhu Ling and others are all grown up like daughters. If they say that girls are popular, they are also connected, but occasionally they make scented bags and purses, which is very good. No matter how many, one is that they can't make it, the other is that they are not as good as daughters. After all, there are some people in the family who are skillful in needlework or skilled girls, and ordinary girls who want to do it.

Zhao Changqing had no such concern. The Zhao family was originally a normal family, and even Zhao Changqing's clothes were mostly made by himself. She was beautiful and could do it. To be honest, Zhao Changqing's needlework was no worse than the most skillful maid of the Zhao family. The things she made were really in line with the wishes of Mrs. Zhu. Since Mrs. Zhu gave Zhao Changqing a lot of things last year, Zhao Changqing was obviously closer to Mrs. Zhu. Although the Zhao family was already a family of officials, it was still far from being compared with a large family like the Zhu family. Therefore, Zhao Changqing started from details and often made needlework for Mrs. Zhu.

Old Mrs. Zhu liked her already, and after seeing the warm hat, she praised her a few words and asked her what she was doing at home. Zhao Changqing smiled, "In addition to doing needlework, she still studied with her husband. My mother is teaching me to see the accounts in the shop."

Old Mrs. Zhu laughed, "It's very much. When your sister Ling was at your age, she also learned to manage the family and manage the affairs with your uncle. For girls, they can learn to learn to learn to cultivate their temperaments, and managers can understand the world."

Zhao Changqing said, "Especially some things seem simple. Only when you take over it can you realize the difficulties. You have to pay more attention to the details."

Old Mrs. Zhu smiled, "As long as you work hard, there is nothing difficult in the world."

After saying a few words to Mrs. Zhu, Zhao Changqing went to talk to the Zhu sisters.

Zhao Changqing didn't see Zhu Xi, so he couldn't help asking. Zhu Ling sighed, "My second sister did needlework at night, and she was not careful about the wind and became sick again."

Zhao Changqing felt strange and said, "These maids and mothers in your mansion are just the sisters who do needles and threads, but they just pass the time. Sister Xi is not very neat, so why do you stay up late at night to do needles and threads?" Besides, Zhu Xi is not the one who often does needles and threads, so he usually finds time for the time. Why do you need Zhu Xishen to do needles and threads in the middle of the night?

Zhu Ling didn't mention it much, saying, "She is already delicate and her maid is confused. She doesn't even know how to persuade her, so she will get sick."

Zhao Changqing stopped talking about Zhu Xi's illness and said, "Sister Xi has always been a little delicate, and it is too late to take good care of her. Don't be so impatient."

Zhu Ling said, "Yes, I advised her like this too. As she looked like a day, her body was always bad. It would not be normal to continue like this."

After talking about Zhu Xi's body, everyone started talking about other gossips, and Zhu Ling said, "Sister Zhao is engaged, do you know?"

Zhao Changqing had not attended the poetry meeting for a long time. If it weren't for Zhu Lingt, she wouldn't have remembered the girl from the Zhao family and laughed, "I haven't heard of this."

"It's been the past two days. She and the wedding ceremony were decided in June and after the wedding ceremony."

Zhao Changqing asked, "Is it the Wang family of Shangshu Mansion?" Old Shangshu resigned from his post and returned to his hometown's border town, and he has always had prestige in the city.

"Yes, it's still the big mediator who was the prefect."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "That's a great marriage. My sister will be in the middle of next year."

Zhu Ling smiled, "You're going to make fun of me?"

"Don't joke, my sister will be in the hairpin next year."

A girl, and a hairpin, means she can get married. Zhu Ling felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, she has always been a generous person, so she let go with a smile and said, "In a few years, you will still have this happen."

The wedding ceremony is easy to handle. With the decentness of the Zhu family, and the eldest granddaughter of Master Zhu Liu, he can always handle it with decent and comprehensiveness. However, Zhu Ling's marriage is simply a worrying thing for Yuan.

In the evening, he told her husband about the Zhao family coming to pay tribute. Yuan was worried about his daughter's lifelong affairs. "Madam Zhao is very meaningful. His second son is one year older than our A Ling. I heard that he is studying well. In addition, the eldest wife of the Wang family also seems to have that meaning, and has praised our sister Ling for being generous and sensible several times."

"Didn't the Wang family marry the Zhao family?"

"The one who married the Zhao family was Fang Shu, the third son of the Wang family, who was the legitimate son."

Zhu Mingtang raised his eyebrows, "A polite eldest son married the eldest daughter of the Zhao family?"

"What you said is just to remember it in the name of your mother and to be fooled. Otherwise, how could you marry the third son of the Wang family?" Yuan said, "If you have time, look at these two young people, which one is better."

"Okay." Zhu Mingtang responded and asked, "Is Sister Xi'er's body better?"

Yuan sighed, "You know what happened to Sister Xi when she is good. Today, she invited the doctor to come over and said that she had made a move. She always made people worried when she couldn't eat. It happened that there was a bird's nest sent by my mother's house. I took someone to deliver it to her and asked her aunt to send her food every day."

"Xi'er is getting older, so she's always so sick that she's not going to be able to do this. I'll ask a good doctor to take care of her."

Yuan's heart was a little sad, and he still said, "That's the reason. The girl's family always needs to be healthy and healthy. Look at the clerk of Yong's cousin, she is really smart. She has done a good job of needlework at a young age. Today, she followed her second aunt to pay her respects and made a warm hat for her ancestors. It's not that the ancestor likes her, but I like her too. Xi'er is older than Qingjie, but I think she is not as tall as Qingjie. It's really worrying."

Zhu Mingtang sighed, "Yong's cousin Ning Ge'er is also a terrifying person. You said this is strange. Our children, maids and mothers, are surrounded by delicacies, and eat them with delicacies. Why is it not as healthy as ordinary children?"

Yuan smiled, "Don't say that, look at Sister Ling, Sister Chan, who is not healthy? It's just that Sister Xi is worried. Just hire a good doctor for her and just condition it."

Zhu Mingtang still frowned slightly, and Yuan smiled, "What's wrong with you today?"

Zhu Mingtang gently patted the armrest of the Taishi Chair with one hand and sighed, "It's useless."

Yuan raised his eyebrows and poured a cup of tea to her husband, "You don't understand what you said."

The couple had a good relationship. Zhu Mingtang pulled Yuan down and whispered, "You are a housekeeper on weekdays. Your grandfather and grandmother are old and are now eighty. The ancestors are very clear. We are sincere and filial, but our grandfather has always been romantic. The ten uncles and uncles have hundreds of descendants, but none of them have the eyes of their grandfather. Our sixth house lives with our grandparents, which is close to the water. Finally, Sister Xi received a grandfather's praise, asking her to respect the elderly, which is also the intention of a great granddaughter. Who knows that her body is useless, and it's not done with needlework, but she is tired and sick. Fortunately, this matter has not been spread, otherwise wouldn't it be a joke?"

After many years of couples, Yuan had also considered this before, but now he was helpless and said, "This is impossible. Who knows that she is sick?"

Zhu Mingtang waved his hand, "I look smart on weekdays, but I feel so stupid at critical moments that I don't know what to say. Do you have to do needlework and thread to respect your elders? Why are you not filial to those who learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting on weekdays? Her great-grandfather praised her for her good piano, but she didn't say that she was good at needlework? Why bother doing needlework and thread like this? Could it be that the family still lacks needlework and thread people?"

Yuan smiled, "Don't say that, there are girls who are spoiled at home. If this time doesn't work, isn't it because my grandfather doesn't go home? When my grandfather comes home, I'll ask their sisters to come over to pay their respects. It's the same."

Zhu Mingtang sighed and laughed, "The opportunity must not be missed, you will never come again. It is useless to say this now. Let Sister Xier take a good rest. Let me first talk about Sister Ling'er's in-laws' family is serious."

"This is very true." The couple discussed for half a day, and waited until late at night and didn't mention it.

Each family has its own troubles, and Master Zhu is still alive, and his descendants have planned to distribute his inheritance for him. The Zhao family has no such worries, but the hero Ouyang Qingfeng arrived in the border town, and Zhao Changning's appointment as a disciple has not been accurate, which also made Ling anxious.

Zhao Changqing was not in a hurry. The grapes were ripe in a blink of an eye, and Ouyang Qingfeng asked her to make wine.

Chu Yu had a great opinion on this and went to Ouyang Qingfeng's house early and surrounded Ouyang Qingfeng and said, "Master, if you have something to do, come to Sister Qing, and tell me, it's the same if I call her."

Ouyang Qingfeng didn't even look at him and said leisurely, "I just sent someone to call Changqing, why do you want to tell you? By the way, what are you doing? I didn't invite you. I'm here to come without invitation, it's a bad guest."

"The evil guest" Chu Yu twitched his lips again and again, and he was so depressed that he asked casually, "I'll pay my respects to Master."

Ouyang Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, "Please, please? I didn't see you kowtow to me."

Chu Yu had to knock one, and Ouyang Qingfeng smiled, "Okay, you have asked An, too. Just go back if you have nothing to do. I don't need you to serve here."

Chu Yu got up from the ground and refused to leave, saying, "Didn't Master say you want to make wine? I'll give you a blow to Master, which is also a way to share your worries."

"You are a bad boy, how can I use you to share your worries? Changqing is enough." Just as he didn't see Chu Yu's sour face, Ouyang Qingfeng dusted his clothes and asked, "How about my clothes?"

Chu Yu knew that Ouyang Qingfeng had some bad habits and complimented, "Good clothes, the master's character is better. This good clothes are matched with the master's character, which is better and better."

Ouyang Qingfeng said with satisfaction, "You have the eyesight, Changqing made it to me. Changqing is so clever. Not only is the snacks good, but the clothes are made perfect without measuring them. Not only is they meticulous, I like the embroidery patterns."

Chu Yu almost squirted out a mouthful of blood and said nervously, "Master, Moduo thinks, Sister Qing treats you as an elder!"

"How much do I want to?"

Chu Yu blamed Zhao Changqing for not having any idea of ​​doing things, so how could he give old bachelor clothes? Besides, he is an old bachelor who has no moral integrity! Chu Yu was so jealous that he had no idea of ​​speaking in his mouth. He said jealously, "Sister Qing has a flower-like character in spring. Master is already an old pumpkin in autumn. Now the master and apprenticeship is not yet determined. How can Master take your baby's clothes?"

"Old pumpkin in autumn!" Ouyang Qingfeng chewed it several times, and a bad smile appeared on his handsome and charming face, and kicked Chu Yu out.

Chu Yu was still gurgling with a pot of old vinegar in his heart, thinking, "I'm turning aside?" I haven't said you are an old cucumber and grasshopper in autumn yet!

So, when Zhao Changqing arrived at Master Ouyang's place, he saw Chu Yu coming out of the doorman as soon as he got off the car. Zhao Changqing was surprised and happy and asked, "Brother Chu, why are you in the doorman? Could it be that you took me out on purpose?"

Chu Yu smiled, "Master said that I would accept you as my disciple today, and I will welcome you."

"Take me as your disciple?"

"Yes, the master said that you have extraordinary qualifications and good materials and beautiful jade, so you became interested in accepting disciples." Chu Yu couldn't wait to confirm the master-disciple status of Ouyang Qingfeng and Zhao Changqing.

Zhao Changqing looked embarrassed, "But, I have no intention of practicing martial arts at all. Brother Chu, can Master change it to Aning?"

Chu Yu smiled, "Why are you stupid? You first become a master. It's not too late for us to mention Aning's affairs in the future." He brought Ouyang Qingfeng to ask Zhao Changqing to become a master. It's nothing to learn martial arts or not. The master-apprentice status is the most important. As long as he becomes a master, he and Zhao Changqing will have the status of a senior brother and sister.

Zhao Changqing pulled Chu Yu's arm and stopped him. Chu Yu asked her, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Changqing pulled his sleeve, Chu Yu approached, Zhao Changqing leaned over to his ear and asked, "Will it become a rice bucket?" After practicing martial arts, what if you eat a table of dishes like Chu Yu?

Chu Yu laughed a little and said, "The master and apprentice's title will be decided first, and you will talk about whether to practice martial arts or not." Anyway, he didn't want Zhao Changqing to practice martial arts. The girl is a little heroic, but she can't become a savage.

Zhao Changqing was worried again, "I didn't bring the apprenticeship ceremony?"

"Why didn't there be any? The clothes were not delivered earlier. That was the gift of apprenticeship." Chu Yu said sourly, "I said my sister is really good at doing things, and now she can give gifts."

"What is this called giving gifts?" Zhao Changqing said, "The border town was colder than the Central Plains. When my master came that day, I saw that my master was wearing single clothes. Now it is the beginning of autumn. How can it be so thin? What if it is frozen? What if it is frozen? You have a serious job to be busy. Besides, such a small matter is not worth it. I hurried to make thick clothes and have someone send them to my master. Later, I learned that the master is not short of people to serve here, so I felt relieved."

Chu Yu smiled, "You are careful, and your master has a lot of property. You are not the artist who is waiting to make a living in the world. Why did you only prepare a house but not a servant or a maid? It is because the master has his own service."

The two of them went in as they spoke. Ouyang Qingfeng sat under the atrium tree, his voice clear and pleasant, "I have lived for more than thirty years, and this is the first time I have been through the needlework and thread made by my disciple."

Chu Yu was so sad for his master, and rushed over and poured a cup of new tea to Zhao Changqing, saying, "Sister Qing, come to be a disciple."

Ouyang Qingfeng is the most unpretentious master Zhao Changqing has ever seen. Toasting a cup of tea is to become a disciple. Chu Yu quietly comforted her, "It's much more solemn than when I was almost stolen and forced to become a disciple."

Ouyang Qingfeng glared at Chu Yu, Zhao Changqing pursed his lips and smiled, Chu Yu held her hand, "Sister Qing, we will be serious brothers and sisters from now on."

Ouyang Qingfeng was drinking tea leisurely and slowly scheming the couple. "Even if you are a senior brother and sister, don't touch each other. Changqing is a big girl, solemnly, you should be a senior brother."

"Master has always been very knowledgeable. When have you ever cared about those useless red tape?" Chu Yu smiled, "You are not like a stingy scholar."

Ouyang Qingfeng smiled and said, "It can be seen that you don't understand Master at all. Master is born sour and rotten."

Chu Yu finally choked Ouyang Qingfeng to death.
