Chapter 154

After talking for a while, Ling Erjie and Master Xu said goodbye, went back to the medicine shop, and said to Zhao Changqing during lunch, "I only realized that the medicine shop we bought with medicinal materials belonged to my uncle's house."

Zhao Changqing did not laugh at Ling's second sister who had been the wife of the Xu family for several years. She knew nothing about the Xu family's industry and said to her warmly, "The Xu family's medicine shop is famous in the border town. Master Xu is very reputable in business. A small shop like ours has a small amount of medicinal materials. Xu's medicine shop does not dislike it and still does business seriously."

Ling Erjie said, "Today I met my uncle. He told the shopkeeper that the medicinal materials in our shop will be calculated at the price of the big medicine shop. I saw that my uncle was honest and did not refuse." Ling Erjie was not the one who was polite to wait.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "This time I'm getting rich with my second sister."

Ling Erjie laughed, "Don't say this, if you didn't take me in, how could I have today?" Although she didn't have much money every month, this was the money she earned herself. The money she earned was different from what others gave her. She felt tough when she used it, and she didn't have to be careful, she didn't have to be nervous, and she didn't have to look at people's faces.

Zhao Changqing said, "If the second sister can't do it, I'll ask you to walk."

Sister Ling smiled and felt very happy.

She never likes to be pity, and she has seen enough of those pitying eyes.

Mr. Zhao Changqing and Su would rest for an hour at noon, and Ling Erjie didn't go home, so they rested in Zhao Changqing's house together. Ling Erjie whispered to Zhao Changqing, "Sister Qing, I have a head-on."

"What do you think about?"

"Silver is such a good thing." Ling Erjie said seriously.

Zhao Changqing laughed, "This is true."

"Really." Ling Erjie said, "In the past, I was silly and obedient in the Xu family, but I was afraid that I would not know what to do if I came out of Xu family? Now I earn a few taels of money myself, even if it is not much, and I feel tough when I eat at home. Women, say that they are three to four virtues, have to rely on their own ability to make a living. If they eat men's family, they have to look at people's faces. Only by eating their own food can I feel strong. In fact, I have never been afraid of Xu Huan being kind to others. Even if Xu Huan has changed his mind, I only feel sad, not afraid. What I really fear is that I have no way out of Xu Huan, so I have been enduring it. Now I realize that I am stupid."

Zhao Changqing said, "It would be unusual for the second sister to take the initiative to tell the difference between her and her family." Ling Erjie at most did some simple needlework or family affairs when she was at her parents' home, not to mention marrying into the Xu family. There were many servants and she didn't have to do anything. How could Ling Erjie adapt when she first came to the medicine shop? Zhao Changqing often used her waist, rubbing her legs and pinching her arms when she was gritting her teeth and suffering. After suffering those hardships, she also adapted to it. For Ling Erjie, when she adapted to her current life, she had a new way out.

Or, life is about having countless hardships and hardships. If you can survive, you can continue to move on. If you can't suffer, you will be like the one in your previous life.

However, Ling Erjie had always been able to face her weakness and whispered, "Actually, when I was talking about Heli, my heart was trembling, and my back teeth almost broke, so I said it."

After a while of silence, Ling Erjie said, "Sister Qing, do you think there will be a day when women rely on their own hands to make a living without men's food and clothing, and they will live with confidence."

"It's not one day, but it's been like this since ancient times." Zhao Changqing felt deeply and smiled, "We don't say that we are not a wealthy family, and we don't have to worry about food and clothing. The second sister has seen that farmers in the countryside are barely forced to eat and clothing, so where can anyone take concubines? One is not that money, and the other is the farmer family, women are like men, and they still have to work in the fields, give birth to children, cook and cook, so men will not take care of them. To the rich family, the biggest family is the royal princess. Look at which one who married a princess dares to take a house of concubines? If a man takes concubines, it's just that women are not as powerful as men. If a woman is really powerful and capable, even if a man wants to, he will not dare."

The two of them whispered a lot before they fell asleep.

Zhao Changqing was busy with the pharmacy, and Zhao Rong was busy socializing with Miss Xu, the daughter of the Xu family. They really got along, liked to play poetry and lyrics, dress up, elegance, gorgeous clothes, poetry and painting, like-mindedness, like-mindedness, like-mindedness, like-mindedness, like-mindedness, like-mindedness, like-mindedness, like-mindedness, like-mindedness, like-mindedness, like-mindedness, like-mindedness, like-mindedness.

Zhao Rong came back from the poetry meeting and was enthusiastic about the interesting things in the poetry meeting. She ate some rare food and snacks, saw some rare flowers, birds, insects and fish, and made some good poems, and how to be praised by others. Ling was full of pride and heard Zhao Rong say, "Today, Sister Xu wore a butterfly hairpin, and was exhausted butterfly gold hairpin. She was so beautiful that the butterfly wings would move."

Ling smiled, "What do I think of it? Your sister also has a butterfly hairpin. Don't say that her wings can move, butterfly whiskers can move, and her wings are covered with shiny diamonds. It's so beautiful in the sun."

Zhao Rong said, "Sister Xu's butterfly hairpin was bought on the silver building on Paifang Street. Of course, it is incomparable to my sister's."

When Ling heard this, she smiled and asked, "Do you want that butterfly hairpin too?" A hairpin is worth muttering for so long.

Zhao Rong's eyes were shining, and she smiled and acted coquettishly beside her mother, "Mom, buy it for me?"

"What's the matter? Now that you are old, you should dress up. Besides, when you go out, you always have a few decent outfits, and you can't be underestimated." Her husband's sixth-rank 100-household family is doing a steady job, and his youngest daughter is already thirteen, and Ling is in the mood to dress up her daughter.

Zhao Rong bent her eyes happily.

When Zhao Yong returned home in the evening, Zhao Rong was not in the main room. Ling was asking the white woman, "Tomorrow, go to the Yinlou on Paifang Street to ask how much money the tired butterfly hairpin cost, buy one and get it back."

The white woman agreed.

Seeing her husband come back, Ling quickly got up and smiled, "It's early to come back today." He poured out a cup of warm tea and handed it to her husband, and sent the white woman down. Zhao Yong asked casually, "What hairpin?"

"It was Arong who came back from the poetry meeting and said that the prefect Xu had worn a butterfly hairpin. It was the new style of the silver building on Paifang Street. Seeing that she liked it tightly, I asked Bai Po to buy it tomorrow and wear it for her." Ling smiled, "The child is old, and it is the time to dress up."

Zhao Yong said, "Since it's good, buy two, one Changqing and one Arong."

Ling smiled, "What about Changqing? Changqing's butterfly hairpin was given to her by Mr. Ouyang when he was there. It was so beautiful that there was no place to buy it."

Zhao Yong drank all the tea and put the celadon cup on the table, saying, "Then buy some other things for Changqing. They are all our daughters. Changqing is also sensible. Although she doesn't fight for this, we parents cannot ignore it."

"That's fine." It's just to buy two more pieces of jewelry. Ling didn't care. She had something else in her mind to discuss with her husband. Ling whispered to her husband, "Do you want to ask someone to see Feng Shui?"

Zhao Yong asked in surprise, "What Feng Shui is it?"

"Our family has never been in trouble on weekdays, why is Changqing's marriage always so unhappy?" Ling said worriedly, "Last time, my sister-in-law and I went to Yue Lao Temple to burn incense, and I even asked Changqing for signature."

"Didn't you ask for a sign?" I remember that my wife was happy for a while, but why is she now frowning again?

"Yes, you said that you don't know where the marriage is. What's the use of signing?" Ling was anxious. "Girls have only been young for a few years. If they delay their youth, they will be delayed. All the young men of the same age have married. What kind of promising people can Changqing marry?"

Zhao Yong was actually anxious and thought for a while and said, "It's better to wait until things go down before talking about marriage."

Ling sighed and was about to say something, but when he heard the maid outside report that it was Zhao Changqing who was back. When Zhao Changqing came into the house, Ling smiled, "You are more busy than your father, who is the one who is the one who is in trouble."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I've been delayed." Yongfu held a black soft armor in his hand. Zhao Changqing took it and handed it to Ling, saying, "This is what I asked Manager Li to find. It is soft gold woven armor. My father wears it on weekdays, which is lighter than iron armor." Zhao Yong is not used to wearing iron armor if he doesn't marching or fighting.

Ling took it and looked at it. When he touched it, he couldn't say that it was too heavy. There was a layer of ordinary black material sewn outside. Ling asked, "Is it really golden?"

Zhao Changqing said, "The golden silk is tightly woven, and there are two layers of rhinoceros leather inside and outside. The black cotton cloth outside is a coaxing person. Dad remembers to wear it on his body. These days, it is not easy to get medicine in the shop. I heard from the shopkeeper of the medicine shop that many medicinal materials must be supplied to the military camp first. Today, the doctors in several large medicine shops have been conscripted. I guess they have started fighting outside."

Ling's face changed and she hurriedly asked her husband, "Is it really a fight?"

Zhao Yong said, "Even if you fight, it's a small battle. The garrison hasn't heard of it yet. We still have a distance away from the pass here."

Ling stroked her chest, "Fortunately, our family has saved some food but it has not been sold."

Seeing Ling's fear, Zhao Changqing advised, "Don't worry, mother, unless you hit the outside of the city, you won't need Dad and the others."

Ling sighed, "I just hope that peace will come soon." He quickly put away the soft gold armor that Zhao Changqing brought back and asked her, "Is this a lot of money?"

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Mother is just collecting it. I will tell my mother when I don't have enough money."

Ling didn't ask anymore.

The border town just heard that there were several small battles outside, and each had its own victory or defeat, so the barbarians retreated.

Old Mrs. Zhao and Ling gave the Bodhisattva a few incense sticks, but with this news, the prices of firewood, rice, oil and salt in the border town have increased to varying degrees. In addition to grain, the Zhao family's ground kilns store a lot of bacon, ham, and vegetables.

As summer goes and autumn comes, the war gradually passes, and a great joy comes from the court, the emperor enthrones the queen.

In layman's terms, the emperor married his wife.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with a small official family like the Zhao family, but the emperor took advantage of marrying his wife to reward the three armies, and the garrison also received a reward. Zhao Yong received an extra monthly salary. What really surprised the Zhao family was that when he went to the Zhu family, he heard the news that Mrs. Zhu said, "Empress Song was really blessed. When she was captured in the border town, she could still turn danger into safety after death. It can be seen that she was really blessed and blessed by God."

Before Mrs. Zhao could understand her mind, she asked in confusion, "Mother, when did Empress Song come to the border town?"

Yuan smiled, "I don't know yet. It's the girl Song who was saved by Yong's cousin. She is now married by His Majesty's current media, and the three media and six recruits are appointed as the Empress of the Central Palace."

Old Mrs. Zhao turned around and nodded and smiled, "Oh, it turned out to be the king of Song County." The Zhao family only knew that Miss Song was given a noble baron when she returned to the imperial capital, but she didn't know that Queen Song was the one who turned out to be this Miss Song. This is really... great! Old Mrs. Zhao showed joy in her heart, "I heard A few days ago that His Majesty had rewarded the three armies, and the garrison also benefited from it, and received an extra month's salary. If I hadn't heard from my mother today, I would have been confused."

Mrs. Zhu laughed, "I'll tell you just because I'm afraid you don't know." Who would have expected Miss Song to have such a good fortune? She caught up with Zhao Yong, and Mrs. Zhu was also very happy. Originally, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Song was young and strong and deeply loved the emperor's heart, so she tightly suppressed Mr. Zhu, who was also the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Now that the Song family has become the queen, the Song family has been named Cheng'en Marquis and promoted to a relative of the foreign affairs. Mr. Song has tactfully resigned from the position of Minister of Revenue. Mr. Song has lifted his butt and left, and Mr. Zhu has been promoted from the third in charge of the Ministry of Revenue to the second in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. Even if someone is promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he will be under Mr. Zhu.

Yuan naturally knew the reason. She was a good person who was good at greeting and was more enthusiastic about the Zhao family. Zhao Changqing was a clever person. She couldn't help but ask, "Old ancestor, I think about it. The talent show was the last two years ago. Queen Song broke her leg in the border town and had to be raised for three months. How can she enter the palace talent show?"

Old Mrs. Zhu sent Fang to the girl in the house, "It's okay to talk at home. This Empress Song has no talent show. Originally, the Empress Dowager gave her to her nephew. For some reason, Empress Song and Your Majesty had an affair outside the palace. Now they have a dragon heir. The ministers were strongly opposed to making Empress Song the main palace. Unfortunately, Your Majesty insisted on his own and established the queen."

This news is definitely much more exciting than "Zhao Yong's lucky luck saved a girl, and this girl became the queen's queen's savior," and Zhao Yong became the queen's savior. The Zhao family all had wide eyes, their eyes fell all over the ground, and they didn't know what to say.

Awesome!

So awesome!

It would be quite awesome to be able to get the emperor outside the palace. What's even more awesome is that Empress Song is married and can get the emperor in the palace. After getting it, she can still get the dragon heir and let the emperor hire her as her queen!

This is definitely not an ordinary talent!

With Empress Song in front of her, the concubines who were legitimate and able to sleep with the emperor in the harem could vomit their hearts and lungs in depression!

When the Zhao family said goodbye from the Zhu family, their legs were floating.

For small families like the Zhao family, the existence of Queen Song definitely broke their outlook on life and world.

What surprised Zhao Changqing was that Zhao Rong's legs were also floating. She was cowardly in her previous life and didn't know the world. Looking at Zhao Rong's expression, could it be that Empress Song did not become an emperor in her previous life or what?

Zhao Changqing ignored Zhao Rong's unexpected look as if she was thunderous. She was actually shocked by Empress Song's strong path to the throne. However, after all, Zhao Changqing had been studying for more than ten years in her life. When she thought about it, it was not surprising. Wu Zetian had slept with Emperor Taizong of Tang, and Emperor Gaozong of Tang. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was still peeling off the ashes. Not to mention that Emperor Wu of Han was a second-married woman. Empress Song felt extremely shocked at first, and it was not unusual in history books of history.

Song Jiayan quickly accepted the persuasion of history books, and after returning home, he also helped Mrs. Zhao and Ling to popularize historical ideological and political aspects.

When Zhao Yong knew about this at night, it was also very difficult to digest. Ling advised him, "This is the ability of Empress Song." If anyone in the city and countryside, whether he has difficulties or not, whether it is the woman's fault, it is always the fault of the woman when people say it. But when it comes to the step of Empress Song, a woman steals the man and the emperor marries her famous matchmaker. The bullying in human nature will naturally occur, and when Ling's mouth comes to this sentence: This is the ability of Empress Song!

Yang Guifei was stripped of ashes by her father-in-law, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and Bai Juyi would sigh in the poem: So that the parents in the world will not be reborn as a boy or a girl.

This is the man of the time and the world.

Or, this is human.

Zhao Yongzu had a cup of tea before he digested the news and said, "Yes." He sighed again, "I never thought of it." At that time, he was just listening to his daughter's advice, thinking that others were rushing to save Prince Rende, and that credit was not his turn. Then, half of it was God's will and half of it was man-made, and he saved Miss Song. At that time, he only thought that she was the daughter of a high-ranking official, but never thought that she would have today.

Zhao Yong sighed very much, "I really couldn't imagine it."

Seeing her husband like this, Ling couldn't help but smile, "If everyone wanted to get today, how could it be your turn to save Miss Song?"

Zhao Yong smiled and felt relieved, "That's the same."

Zhao Yong confirmed again, saying, "Changqing is really a lucky star in our family!"
