After Manager Li left, Ling asked Zhao Changqing, "What did you say to Manager Li?"

Zhao Changqing said, "Business.||"

"He is doing business in Ximan. What kind of business can he do with you?" Thinking of his own shop, Ling was worried. "Even big businesses like Manager Li will close their business. I don't know what our shop will do next year?"

Zhao Changqing said, "Since you are not allowed to trade in the Western Barbarians, just use some household materials and do business slowly. People always have to wear clothes for food, clothing, housing and transportation. The business may be worse, as long as you don't lose money."

Ling sighed and cheered up again, "Anyway, your father's official has come up, and our family doesn't have to worry about food and clothing." He asked again, "What business does with Manager Li do? Is it a seller of buns?"

"It's not a bun, it's the seasoning powder I made with my husband a few days ago. I want to sell this."

"How much money can this be sold?" Ling disagreed and said, "If you want to sell this, we can sell it as well."

Zhao Changqing sent his maid to explain to Ling family, "Last time the bun shop was plotted, our family was still shallow. As soon as my father's official was surrendered, he immediately took action with jealousy. I thought about these days and wanted to start a business, but it would be impossible to do it without a backer. My mother also heard from Manager Li that Miss Song was named the county lord, and even Lord Song was named a viscount. This backer is strong enough. No one dared to stretch out his hands when the business is done in the future. There is another thing, our family is very likely to have these connections with the Song family. If the business can be started, the two families will be constantly involved, and it will be no harm to get familiar with each other. Isn't it?"

Ling smiled and said, "Your father and I are both the masters of the same intestines. I don't know how you are such a clever ghost!"

Zhao Changqing reminded, "I will only tell my mother about this. Just tell my father. Don't talk between relatives, otherwise the shopkeeper Li will be more careful when he hears us clamoring everywhere. First, start the business quietly and get out the relationship, and there will naturally be benefits."

"I know this." Ling said with gratitude, "In the future, Aning will have half of your cleverness, so I won't worry about his life."

Zhao Changqing said, "I'm just doing some small business. Aning will be a martial arts practitioner in the future. Knowing that crops are hard, it's enough not to cheat people in the future. Don't let him worry about these trivial matters. In the future, he will be able to get one or two fame and one family will be decent."

Ling nodded, "This is very true."

When her husband came home in the evening, Ling's side told the secret of the matter with her husband. Zhao Yong said, "This business is done."

Ling said, "Our daughter is really smart. She doesn't care whether she makes money or not, she can achieve success." Ling did not take Zhao Changqing's business seriously. What she valued more was that she could indirectly have a little relationship with the family of Song. As Zhao Changqing said, good business would not be of great use in the future. As the mother-in-law told her, Zhu's investment in Old Prime Minister Peng was a typical example of great success. Ling was not very ambitious, and she did not expect her husband to achieve the achievements of Uncle Zhu's third-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue. If she could benefit from it in the future, Ling would be satisfied. After fantasizing about the beautiful life of the wife of Qianhou in the future, Ling was quite satisfied and laughed out loud.

There is nothing to say about Double Ninth Festival, but Yuan asked Ling about Zhao Changqing's marriage and praised how his nephew made a fortune. Ling would not respond at once, so he used Zhao Yong as a statement, and only went back to discuss. Yuan looked confident, "I'm not boasting about it. The child is indeed very good, otherwise I can't open my mouth."

Ling smiled, "What my sister-in-law said is naturally not bad."

After Zhao Changqing and Zhu Xi and Zhu Chan came back after seeing the chrysanthemums in the garden, Yuan joked, "Changqing, you are old now. What kind of in-laws want to talk about? Do you have any ideas?"

Zhao Changqing was slightly stunned and came to his senses. There was no shame on his face. He just said, "As long as he has a good character and a fair age, he is determined not to take a concubine."

Ling smiled and said, "Look at this girl, you are not allowed to speak like this."

Zhao Changqing smiled slightly, "Just now, Uncle Yuan specially sent me out to see the flowers. I think I was talking about my husband's family. I wonder which one was talking about?"

Yuan smiled, "I'm not an outsider, my nephew, I wonder if you are willing?"

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I'm willing to do it or not, the eldest uncle sincerely talks with me. I'll give the eldest uncle a correct word, and I have to go back and ask for a few questions. Even the eldest uncle's family members don't ask me. If this matter is successful, it is the fate of the two families. If it fails, it's not the fate. Don't be angry at that time."

"Look at what you said." Zhao Changqing said it straightforwardly. Yuan felt a little displeased and smiled, "We Changqing are generous and have ideas."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "The girls in our border town are not as cumbersome as the Central Plains, so they always say whatever they want. If I have no opinion, I can't look at me, my aunt."

Everyone joked and said, after lunch, the Zhao family left. Yuan complained to her husband in the evening, "A little girl from a family of 100 families must not be allowed to take concubines before she can marry her! I'm afraid even the emperor's princess would not have such a big tone!"

Zhu Mingtang said, "What's wrong? The marriage has not been completed."

"I probably won't be able to do it before the Zhao family said it. Brother Tong was old, so my mother gave him two girls!" Yuan looked unlucky, "Don't say she was unhappy, even if my mother heard that the Zhao family's daughter was so jealous!"

Zhu Mingtang didn't take it seriously and said, "If you don't want to be happy, you won't be happy, what a big deal."

Yuan glanced at her husband, "You don't know how pretty you are today. When I talked to her mother about marriage, I specially sent her out to the garden to enjoy the flowers. That girl was so sensible that she had guessed it. When she came back from the garden, she asked me directly if she told her about kissing. She was thick-skinned and rare in the world! She was so crazy that she didn't know whose name she was! Who can stand such a daughter-in-law! It would be better if she couldn't succeed!"

Ling's side was tolerated all the way, and when he got home, he said to Zhao Changqing, "Who taught you these boundless words? Ah? Just think about it in your heart. If you have something, just tell me. Why do you go out and say it? How do you ask others to see you?"

Zhao Changqing brought a cup of tea to Ling and said, "Mother drinks tea to calm her breath. What's wrong with this? Our family is ready to put it in. What would happen if the second sister married the third son of the Xu family? She said she had no concubine now. But if it weren't for Xu Lao San's inappropriateness, the second sister would not have miscarriage. What's more, where are they now? The difficult days for the second sister are still coming. When I see the second sister like this, of course I have to say ugly words in the front."

"Mom, don't think that Uncle Yuan has a good intention. What a arrogant person she is. If her nephew is as good as she said, how could she say it to our family? When I said I could not take a concubine, her face changed. I put it here. If my mother doesn't believe it, she will go and ask about the marriage she told me. She may not have a concubine now." Zhao Changqing said, "I will talk to you first, and it will be easier to speak when my mother refuses."

Ling took a sip of tea and sighed, "Then you shouldn't say anything you don't take a concubine outside, but you'll tell others that you're jealous."

Zhao Changqing said in a gentle voice, "I didn't want to marry a high-ranking family. As long as I have a good character, it's nothing worse than ours. Whose life is not a little bit by bit. When my mother married my father, what was there in our family? It's not worse than others. My father is now a sixth-rank official. Didn't he usually have social engagements or meet his father and just come back? I don't want to have any wealth in the future, just like my mother and father in the future."

Ling's face turned red and she scolded, "It's getting more and more irrelevant. OK, okay, hurry back to your house, don't make me angry."

Ling was worried with her husband at night, "What do you think? Our daughter said she didn't want to be rich, but why would I be willing to marry her daughter to a poor family?"

"I don't want to be rich, but I don't have to marry a poor family." Zhao Yong said, "What my daughter said is not bad. As long as the family is well-off, the key is that she has a good character and knows how to be ambitious. Life is always a slow life. When a young man is poor, it is not called poor. It is also right to not be able to take concubines. We are used to living a simple life with a population of people. Even if we are rich and noble, it is better to live some ordinary days. Sister Yuan is talking about which family, I will go and inquire about it."

Ling and her husband said, Zhao Yong said, "No hurry to do this. I will tell you after I inquire. Our daughter should look good and have talents, but she is worried about marrying her?"

Ling smiled, "I went back to my parents' home before Double Ninth Festival, but my mother told me something."

"What's up?"

"Ateng's marriage." Ling said to her husband, "Ateng will be taking the exam for scholar next year. I think my mother looks like she seems to be interested in our Changqing."

Zhao Yong frowned, "Ateng himself said nothing, the child is sensible, and he comes to pay tribute to us every month. There are two things that make people feel worried. First, Asteng's mother is too difficult. I think Changqing doesn't like his second aunt either. Isn's wife easy to be a wife for such a mother-in-law? No need to say anything, just look at the second sister's family, who is the eldest aunt, and Mrs. Xu's reputation in the past was much better than Asteng's mother. What's the result now? Second, this is a bit stingy, but Changqing is our daughter, so I have to say. The eldest brother has no children, and Asteng will be a part-time wife in the future. It's hard to serve a family in-laws in the future. "

Ling sighed, "I have thought about these things too. What my mother said is really sincere. My mother's words make sense. Although Asteng wants to be a disciple, it is just for the sake of the eldest son to be the eldest son. After the eldest son, he will adopt the eldest son as the eldest son and a child who burns paper. The eldest son and sister-in-law have a house and land. Now the family has been separated early and they do not live in the same place. Second, Asteng looks like he is indeed promising. If he can make a future in the future, it will not be considered a loss to Changqing. Third, I think Asteng is really dedicated to Changqing. Asteng always comes over as long as he has time. He absolutely cannot take a concubine."

Zhao Yong said, "Changqing is mediocre to Aseng." There is no sign of intimacy at all.

Ling sighed, "I know that she felt uncomfortable after the Chu family's affairs, but she just didn't say it and told us to worry. You don't know, she quietly bought a small courtyard that Chu Yu used to buy, often travel there, and set up tablets for the Chu family in that courtyard to worship." Ling said, "After I knew this, my heart was like a needle, and I couldn't sleep well for a few days. She was such a kind girl. You said, if someone who didn't know the inside story, how could other people tolerate it? That's why I thought about it, I must find someone who knows the truth and cares about her."

Zhao Yong looked at his wife crying and sighed for a long time, "I'd better ask Changqing before talking, I'd always ask her to be willing."

"I know this, she has always had his own opinions and always asked her what she meant."
