Chapter 127(1/2)
In the past, the Zhao family gave New Year gifts to the general's mansion, but now they are all over. It's not a big deal that Mrs. Ling is really envious.
Of course Ling was happy to receive the generous gift. More importantly, this also represents the general's family's attention to his daughter. Thinking of this, Ling looked at Chu Yu and became more and more happy.
Chu Yu also prepared a copy for Mr. Su, saying, "In the past, I often heard from my sister Qing talk about Mr. Xu, who is both talented and virtuous, and is admirable."
"I'm interested." Su Xiansheng Su Bai thanked Chu Yu, and was also happy that Zhao Changqing had this marriage, especially Chu Yu was really a person with heart.
Chu Yu smiled, "I heard that Abai will take the exam for the official school next year, so I asked someone to find a set of test questions for the official school entrance exam. Abai looked at it, maybe there might be something available." His sister, Qing, had a test question for the boy named Ling, hum! It is necessary to compare it so that the world can understand what the gap is!
Su Bai smiled, "Thank you, Brother Chu."
"I thank me for the entrance exam for the official school." Chu Yu actually gave Zhao Changqing a separate gift from the New Year.
Chu Yu had no chance to talk to Zhao Changqing in private for formal New Year ceremony like this. He said goodbye after lunch. Chu Yu said a few words to Zhao Changqing: "Sister Qing, I'm here" and "Sister Qing, I'm leaving."
There is no need to mention all kinds of depression.
After Chu Yu left, Ling gave a gift from Chu Yu to Zhao Changqing to Zhao Changqing in the evening. Now Zhao Changqing and Zhao Rong live in the east and west wing room of the inner house, and the two houses are only separated by the garden in the middle. They are very close, but they don’t visit each other often.
Yihua quietly told Zhao Rong about the inquiry, "Young Master Chu gave the eldest girl a set of jade jewelry and a cloak, pure white like snow, with a slight silver light, which is extremely precious."
Zhao Rong's face was slightly cold, "I understand."
In fact, Yihua said that it is really a happy event for the eldest girl to have such a good marriage. Even if the second girl Zhao Rong and her sister get married well, she may not be able to get rich in the future, so she should be happy.
However, in recent years, Yihua has also known that Zhao Rong is a strong person, and the eldest girl Zhao Changqing has a good temperament, so she is not as lukewarm as Zhao Rong. Therefore, Zhao Changqing had a good marriage and He Huan was happy for her, but Zhao Rong, the servants and maids in the west wing, dare not show their joy.
Looking at Zhao Rong's look of thinking, Yihua sighed secretly, but unfortunately, the eldest girl was not interested in her at the time. That girl Yongfu was really lucky. After following the eldest girl, her future will be in the future.
No one can hide the matter between the maids.
At the same time, Yongfu quietly told Zhao Changqing, "Xiang'er in his wife's house just told me that the second girl's maid Yihua asked her about the things the young master gave her."
Zhao Changqing smiled, "I understand. I've registered all of these in the notebook."
Over the years, Yongfu has learned a few words from Zhao Changqing and said with a smile, "I have already remembered it." She has always been neat in her work.
Zhao Changqing smiled, "That's good." He was fiddling with a ruby ring that Chu Yu gave her in his hand, and Chu Yu also carried one in his hand, but it was bigger than hers, but the style was exactly the same.
Yongfu smiled and said, "This ring is so beautiful, especially under the lamp, it is dazzling."
Zhao Changqing took a look and put it in the jewelry box on the dressing table, laughing, "Remember to remind me to wear it tomorrow."
Yongfu smiled and said "yes" and went out to arrange the washing.
This year, the Zhao family was still very lively. However, I heard that Li Mingbao had a marriage before the New Year. It was Zhang Fengchu, the eldest daughter of his uncle. Zhao Changqing did not know what Li Mingbao was thinking about her. Because the two families often interacted, Zhao Changqing was also very happy for Li Mingbao and smiled, "Ms. Zhang is the most polite person. Sister Chu is the eldest daughter, and she acts well."
Ling smiled, "Yes, although he is not common with Mrs. Zhang, he knows that he is a very law-abiding person. The Zhang family is a family member, and Miss Zhang has no character. We are relatives again. When Brother Bao gets married, he will have to go lively."
Zhao Changqing smiled, "In other years, I will go to the Lantern Festival with Brother Li and Sister Li to watch the Lantern Festival. This year, they each have their own companions, so I will take Aning Abai and the others with my husband."
Zhao Changning asked, "Sister, aren't you going shopping with Brother Chu?"
"Brother Chu has no time to go on the Lantern Festival, it's the 16th day of the first lunar month." They had already made an appointment!
Zhao Changning asked with his eyes lit up, "Sister, can I go with you?"
"Okay, you and A Bai are here. I'll ask Brother Chu to take us to have delicious food."
"Go to pick stars?"
Zhao Changqing responded generously, "Okay!"
Zhao Changyu raised his short arms and said angrily, "Sister, I want to go together too!"
"Sure, let's all be together."
Zhao Changqing was just silly and generous. When Chu Yu came to Zhao Changqing with a smooth and bright look, his face turned very wonderful when he saw this string of small tails.
Fortunately, Chu Yu is also a generous person. His wife has not yet obtained it, so it is natural that he can't offend these brother-in-laws. Chu Yu took them to the lantern market with great grace and went to Zhaixing to eat delicious food. When the moon was in the middle of the sky, he also sent the little guys home gracefully. If he was not allowed to keep the girl's hands while visiting the lantern market and put the girl's waist several times under the name of more protection, Chu Yu is really a good person.
When he arrived at the door of Zhao's house, Chu Yu didn't want to be lucky and served Zhao Changqing to get off the car. He stood outside the car early, stretched out his hand, looking gentlemanly, "Sister, be careful."
Zhao Changqing first handed Zhao Changyu, who was wrapped in a wool ball. Chu Yu took Zhao Changyu with one hand and hugged him in his arms, while the other hand still reached Zhao Changqing. Zhao Changqing had no choice but to hand him his hand to him, and supported Chu Yu's hand and got out of the car.
Chu Yu glanced at the ruby ring in the same style on the two of them, and quietly pinched Zhao Changqing's palm and said, "It's a bit late, I won't go in. Let's say hello to Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao on my behalf."
Zhao Changqing nodded, feeling that Chu Yu's palm was indescribable warmth, and smiled, "Be careful on the road. Get off early and you will have to work as a job tomorrow."
"Okay." Chu Yu's eyes were warm and he said in a gentle voice, "Go in."
"Well, you go back first."
It was obvious that in just a few words, and it could be clarified in half a minute. Zhao Changning really didn't understand why his sister and Chu Yu stood at the door and looked at him. Zhao Changning couldn't stand his big sweater tightly, and he couldn't stand his sister and his brother-in-law poking at the door so stupidly. He went forward and shook his hand between them and said, "Sister, Brother Chu, why are you not moving? Come to our house! How cold is the station at the door."
Zhao Changqing glanced at Zhao Changning in shame and annoyed. Chu Yu also felt that it was in vain to buy his brother-in-law. Why was he so good at sabotaging him? Su Bai smiled secretly and pursed his lips and refused to speak.
It was Zhao Changqing who went in first, and Chu Yufang got on his horse.
Su Bai was gossiping with his mother, "Brother Chu looked at Sister Qing's eyes, let's not mention it. It's really unnecessary for us to go with him today. Brother Chu must have thought we were so annoying."
Mr. Su admired the lotus lantern brought back by Su Bai, got up and hung it next to the desk, nodded, "That's sure."
"Mom, why do you ask us to go with Sister Qing?" Is it just intentionally annoying and obsessive?
Mr. Su laughed, "Didn't you say that Zhaixing's food is delicious? You can't afford to eat such a high-end place on weekdays? You're asking you to have a free meal."
Su Bai:...
The little maid Yan'er brought hot water and said, "It's late at night, please wash up."
After washing up, Su Bai started soaking his feet and kept saying, "Mom, today we still ate the buns made by Sister Lihuaer on Zhaixing. They were very expensive. For a small trough, eight small buns cost several hundred yuan."
"Is it tasty?"
Su Bai's eyes were curved and there was still some aftertaste, "It's delicious."
“Just delicious.”
Su Bai sighed, "I just feel that there are really people in the world who are the kind of people you mentioned, and you don't look at how much money you spend in your meals." Brother Chu is this kind of person, commonly known as the rich sucker.
Mr. Su laughed, "Do you know now?"
Su Bai soaked two little white feet and asked his mother filially, "Mom, I want to go to the official school to study in the future. Will you feel bored alone?"
Mr. Su laughed, "I heard that your tone is like an official school is already in your pocket. I really blow the cows into the sky. Don't laugh to death."
Su Bai earns excellent scholarships every year at the Zhu family school, fifty taels a year, which makes more money than his mother being a husband. Of course, he shouldn't count like this. However, in Chu Bai's little heart, he is still quite confident. Chu Bai was used to being hit by his mother, and he is still full of confidence. "I dare not say what I have in my pocket, at least I won't lose my mother's face."
Mr. Su laughed, "When you take the exam for the top scorer, just tell me like this. Sitting in the well to be the king is worth showing off?"
Su Bai grew up and was no longer as easy to fool as he was when he was a child. He strongly asked, "Mom, you should encourage me." Even if the official school exam is not a big deal, you can't always criticize him like this!
Mr. Su clapped his hands and laughed, "Encouragement."
Su Bai turned his face away from his anger and hummed twice to show his dissatisfaction. Mr. Su went over to touch his little head and smiled, "Okay, why don't you sleep with me today, I'll encourage you to stay overnight."
Thinking of his mother trying to encourage him all night, Su Bai still said wisely, "I'm already old, I want to sleep by myself."
Mr. Su was very sorry and sighed, "I just read this ghost story and am going to tell you."
Su Bai almost shook his head into a rattle, took his feet out of the basin, fucked them with his foot cloth, and ran on his shoes like a ghost chase and went to sleep in his house: Oh my God, his mother was actually reading ghost stories again!
At the same time, Su Bai secretly made up his mind: from tomorrow onwards, he must study his homework desperately, and must not give his mother any time and reason to tell ghost stories!
After the Chinese New Year, Su Bai refused to go to school and insisted on preparing for the exam at home.
Ling was free to talk to her husband, "A Bai, this child is promising at first sight. He is studying hard in the house every day. I heard Bai's wife say that even when she is eating, she is memorizing the article."
Zhao Yong nodded, "He is a promising child."
Ling said, "Mr. Su said that he would let Abai go to the official school to live in the official school. These days he has been doing Abai's bows and bedding. This year, it's only twelve years, and I'm a little reluctant to let it go, thanks to Mr. Su's willingness."
Zhao Yong said, "If Mr. Su is worried that no one will go to the official school to pick up Abai, let Lai Fu arrange someone."
"I said the same thing. Mr. Su had plans to tell me that he asked Abai to train and do not beautify me." Ling smiled, "Although Yan'er came to serve, Abai would even beat the wash water in the morning. Mr. Su never asked Yan'er to serve Abai, and Abait also combed his own hair. Mr. Su had free time and taught him to make a fire and cook."
Zhao Yong took a few sips of tea and praised, "This child has a good heart."
"Isn't that?" Ling smiled, picking up the fancy style, "I just said Mr. Su is a blessing. I said before that A Teng is good at studying, but there are still people in the clan school who are better than him. A Bai is really unique in the clan school. Several juren in the school like him. This time he quit the school to prepare for the exam. The teacher who taught him knew that he was living with his widowed mother, and gave him twenty taels of silver, so he asked him to take the exam with peace of mind."
Although Ling envied Su Bai's success, she laughed, "With Abai taking care of her for the past few years, Aning will be able to study hard. It is said that in two or three years, Aning will be able to study at the examiner."
Zhao Yong has always been content and joy, "Aning is better than me when she was younger."
While chanting the scriptures of children with his wife, Zhao Yong couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you see your daughters?"
"Changqing and Yu Ge'er went out, Arong went to the poetry meeting, but she hasn't come back yet."
Zhao Yong sighed, "It's even busier than what I'm going out to work every day."
Ling smiled, "They are a good time. If no one cares, I will be anxious."
Zhao Changqing actually had a little bit of care, but he didn't know how to talk to Chu Yu. Moreover, he had been holding it in for half a year. Today Chu Yu asked her to come out to play. She specially brought the purse handkerchief made for Chu Yu and said, "Brother Chu, most of your clothes are blue in the lake, blue in the sky, blue in the sky, blue in the sky, and blue in the sky. The ones I chose for my purse are also simple and steady in the color. Do you like it?"
Chu Yu pointed to one of them and said, "Change it for me."
Zhao Changqing said, "You might as well go back and change it yourself."
"There are no outsiders here." The servant had already sent it out, so Chu Yu dared to make some excessive demands.
Zhao Changqing had something to do, so he followed Chu Yu, replaced the old purse for him, and replaced the new one again. After talking for a while, Chu Yu had already seen that Zhao Changqing was absent-minded and thought to himself, could this silly girl have something to do to tell me?
Chu Yu was thinking about it, and Zhao Changqing spoke. Because it was not easy to talk about, Zhao Changqing did not directly talk about his worries, but instead said, "Now, February is in full bloom."
