Chapter 167

Although Mr. Zhu rarely comes home, he said he would never delay the need for anyone to meet, and he would do it immediately. Therefore, he sent a post to the Zhao family that night. Two pretty stingy wives went to pay their respects to Mrs. Zhao and smiled, "Today, the eldest lady and Mr. Sun are back, and the old man is also at home. The old man asked about the eldest girl and said that he hadn't seen the eldest girl for a long time and was thinking about the eldest girl. The old lady missed the second girl, so he ordered the servants to come over and greet the old lady, and took the two girls over to stay for a few days."

Mrs. Zhao first asked Mrs. Zhu, but Mrs. Zhu, but she was safe. She asked Mrs. Zhu’s body. She said, “Changqing has something to do. Since her father wants to see her, I will pack some clothes for her when she comes back today. Let’s call her over tomorrow.”

The wife in charge laughed, "Yes, I will come to pick up the girl tomorrow."

Old Mrs. Zhao smiled, "It's not that I'm going to the outside world, I just ask the car at home to take them over." The Zhao family was ups and downs, and Zhao Yong had firmly settled in the position of hundreds of households, which was no longer the same as before.

The wife in charge flattered her a few more words, and Mrs. Zhao ordered Cui'er to give her a reward and sent them back.

When the wife in charge left, Ling said, "Mother, the great master hasn't come back for a long time, right?" Basically, the great master is a person who is in the Zhu family. He never cares about the family affairs, and he is not very close to his children and grandchildren. He spends most of his time living in his own courtyard.

"Yes, your uncle passed the Jinshi and went out to be an official. For decades, he went back to the border town and counted it with one hand. Your uncle finally came back, so the great master naturally had to go home." Mrs. Zhao said, "I will pack up two decent clothes for Changqing in a while and live there for a few days. It's rare that the great master likes her like this."

Thinking about the generous rewards from Grandpa Zhu during his daughter and the wedding ceremony, as for Zhao Changqing, he doesn't forget to do some needles and threads to honor his elders every year on Grandpa Zhu's birthday. Ling responded gently.

When Zhao Changqing went home and heard the old lady Zhao tell the story of the Zhu family taking them over to live in a while, Zhao Changqing smiled, "I haven't seen the great master for years and didn't pay my respects to the great master. But the shop has not explained it yet. I have to go to the shop to explain it one or two tomorrow."

Old Mrs. Zhao smiled, "What's the matter with this? Just explain the shop clearly before going."

Zhao Changqing said, "The great master has always been casual. I probably won't live for many days." He also told Cui'er, "You are safe, I have nothing to worry about, but I am not at home, so I'm deserted. You should talk to the old lady more and make the old lady happy. If you are idle, go and invite two storytellers to come and sing a few passages to relieve the old lady's boredom."

Old Mrs. Zhao laughed, "I want you to worry."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I am born with this temper, just follow my grandmother."

Old Mrs. Zhao felt even more considerate and patted Zhao Changqing's handwriting, "The Zhu family is not an outside, but it is a visit to relatives. If you bring both Yongfu and Hong'er with you, you can pack two more bags of clothes and jewelry. Then lock your house and put the keys on me. Ask Cui'er to arrange someone to clean up every day. If you lack something in the Zhu family, just send someone back to get it." What does Mrs. Zhao have to know about her own family? Relatives are real relatives, but if there are too many people in the family, they are not all good. Although the Zhao family is not as good as the Zhu family, Old Mrs. Zhao doesn't want her granddaughter to be underestimated.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Yes, I remember."

Old Mrs. Zhao asked Liu'er to bring a square red lacquer box and hand it to Zhao Changqing, "Take this one too."

Zhao Changqing weighed it and was a little heavy. He looked at his grandmother and saw that the old lady Zhao had a smile in her eyes. The box was not locked. When she opened it, it was a box of scattered silver and two hangings of copper coins. Zhao Changqing smiled, "Grandmother, I don't need money."

Old Mrs. Zhao smiled, "Do you lack it? This is the heart of the elders, please carry it."

Zhao Changqing suddenly felt sad, and his face did not show up, nor did he refuse the money. Old Mrs. Zhao reminded her to say something better, and waited for Zhao Yong to go home. After dinner, the family sent Zhao Changqing to rest.

Ling couldn't help but call Zhao Changqing and Zhao Rong to the house to remind him, "Don't be cautious and polite when you get to your relatives' house. Be respectful to your elders and be kind to your servants. Arong is young, so if you have anything to do, he will listen to your sister's words." The eldest daughter has always been capable, and Ling has always relied on Zhao Changqing more. He told Zhao Changqing, "It's rare for the great master to go home. Your uncle, grandma, and a cousin also came back. The children in the clan have never been to come over to pay their respects. The ancestors must be lively. You should be sensible when you go, just have fun with Sister Chan. Sister Rong is young and is not as steady as you, so take care of her more."

Zhao Changqing agreed.

Ling said something for a long time and laughed at Zhao Yong, "The Zhu family is often there and is close to you. In a few days, my grandmother's house will definitely serve wine, so we have to get over it. You are talking like they are traveling far away."

Ling smiled, "I said I went there often, but in the past I was just going to pay my respects. I went there that day and went back that day. Where did I really stay?"

Zhao Yong said to his two daughters, "Even if you are your own relatives, don't be nervous. If you live comfortably, stay for a few more days. If you are uncomfortable, send someone to your house to deliver a letter and I will pick you up. Okay, it's getting late, so let's take a break soon."

Zhao Changqing and Zhao Rong went back to their own houses. Ling blamed her husband, "What are you saying? How can you feel uncomfortable when you go to the ancestor's house?"

After Zhuzhuang incident, Zhao Yong was not as enthusiastic about the Zhu family as before, saying, "Their sisters are not those ignorant children. But the grandfather's family has too many people. Now that the uncle and aunt and others are back, the family will be even more lively. In such a mess, if my grandmother hadn't sent someone to pick her up, I really wouldn't want them to come."

Ling said, "Our family population is simple. Although I often take them out, they are not the children who are reluctant to take them out. They are not as powerful families as my grandmother. How many days will they be influenced by them? Besides, I heard from the two housekeepers who came to pay their respects today that my uncle brought a grandson back, named Lu Geer. Lu Geer passed the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination and was one year older than our Changqing. What if I have a fate."

Zhao Yong was not very excited and said, "Depending on what Changqing means, at least she will be able to get along with her."

Ling smiled, "Your father-in-law's tone is really bigger than the sky."

Zhao Yong said, "What's the big deal about this? Getting married is a lifelong event. I don't want my son-in-law to have a great cause. As long as he has a good character, Changqing will be able to like it."

Ling's face darkened and said, "Do you still remember what Zhuzhuang is doing?"

Zhao Yong patted his wife's hand, "Let's rest too. Remember to prepare some scattered silver for them tomorrow. If you are poor and rich, don't let the children spend money when they go out."

Ling agreed.

The head of the Zhu family sent a car to pick it up. Old Mrs. Zhao smiled, "Didn't you say you're here again?"

The wife in charge laughed and said, "When I went back yesterday, my servants said that the wife scolded me for being rude, saying that my aunt and wife's house was not as good as other places, and the girls were also gummy guests, so how could they be so arrogant? I told me to come and pick up the two girls."

Old Mrs. Zhao smiled, "Your wife has always been careful. You have come here early, so let's have a cup of tea. Their sisters have not been packed yet." The main reason is that Zhao Changqing has not come back to the medicine shop.

Not only is Xia Wen good at medical skills, he is also very safe. Zhao Changqing told the matter, and Xia Wen laughed, "Doctor Zhao just go. If there is really something wrong, I will take someone to the Zhu family to tell you."

Zhao Changqing said, "There are not much raw Rehmannia, Coptis chinensis, and Tianqi. The silver is right at my second sister. When I put the medicinal materials, you can help me with my palms."

Xia Wen smiled and Zhao Changqing said to Ling's second sister, Zhao Liangdong, "I'm not in the shop, I've heard from Doctor Xia."

Ling Erjie smiled, "Don't worry, it's just about treating patients. If you don't have enough staff, you can call Xiao Ji's accountant to make up the numbers. But you'd better go and tell Boss Lin."

Zhao Changqing laughed, "This is natural."

Boss Lin only said one thing, "The amount of Shenxian Yangrong Pills is probably not enough, and several wives and wives sent people to buy them."

Zhao Changqing gave Boss Lin a large bag of medicine powder, handed over another prescription, and said with a smile, "The rest will be mixed with the medicine on the prescription, and the pills will be Shenxian Yangrong Pills."

Boss Lin smiled and took the medicine powder and the prescription, "It's nothing more, just stay here."

Zhao Changqing was about to say goodbye, and Boss Lin grabbed her and said in his ears, "I heard that Master Zhu brought back a grandson of your age. Zhu Lu was an imperial examination student and was considered a young talent. You know it yourself."

Zhao Changqing frowned slightly and stopped the trail, "If I was about the same age as me, I was an imperial examination student and my uncle's grandson, how could I like me?" It's not that she was self-righteous, Zhu Lu had his grandfather as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Although Zhu Lao Lao had retired, even in the imperial capital, the Zhu family was a good official family. Moreover, Zhu Lu was able to pass the imperial examination at a young age and had the protection of his father and grandfather, so there was no need to talk about his future future. How could he marry her a daughter of a hundred households in the border town?

Boss Lin whispered, "It's so stupid. Don't you know that the Empress gave birth to a pair of twins. Although the legitimate prince was young, he was a serious legitimate child in the central palace. Zhao Baihu was very helpful to Queen Song. You have business dealings with Manager Lin. Don't tell me that you don't know that the business in Manager Li's hands is the capital of Queen Song? You should consider it yourself."

Zhao Changqing knew that Boss Lin often traveled to and from a high-ranking official's family, but she didn't know that she was so well-informed. Zhao Changqing said, "If the Zhu family was willing to marry my family, then why did Zhuzhuang go back to the time..."

Boss Lin sneered, "What is Zhuzhuang? He can't think of this step in his pig head. Master Zhu has been an official in the imperial capital for many years and has been planning for his descendants, so it is difficult to guarantee that this idea will not be possible."

Zhao Changqing is also a clever person. She smiled and said, "I think my uncle hasn't made up his mind yet."

Boss Lin smiled and said, "Who knows this? It's true that you keep some mind."

"Thank you for your reminder, sister."

Zhao Changqing and Zhao Rong both wore new clothes and went to the Zhu family in the luxurious and spacious carriage.

Old Mrs. Zhu was in a very good mood. She smiled as soon as she saw the Zhao sisters, "You sister Ling and Sister Xi are back, and I miss you very much. I come here to stay for a few days and talk to me, the old woman, to relieve my boredom and lively."

The sisters bowed and Zhao Changqing smiled, "As long as our ancestors don't mind our noise, I have a lot of things to say to our ancestors. I heard that my uncle and grandma have also come back. Before coming, my grandma told us to greet the elders. I said that my uncle and grandma have returned from afar and want to be exhausted. Now I come to meet each other, which makes my uncle and grandma tired, and they are close relatives, so there is no need to care about some red tape. When my uncle and grandma are tired, my grandma will be tired, and my grandma will be tired again. When my uncle and grandma are tired, my grandma will come over to meet my brothers, sisters, sisters and sisters-in-law again."

Old Mrs. Zhu smiled, "Your grandmother has always been careful."

Zhao Changqing is tall, with a slender waist and a long jade dress, with a rose-red robe with a long jade skirt, with a dense rose flower embroidered on her skirt, a piece of mutton fat jade stroll hanging around her waist, a cloud bun on her head, a bird-titled pearl hairpin, and a pair of lotus-sized pearl pendants on her ears. Zhao Rong is fourteen years old this year and is already a graceful little girl. Both sisters are beautiful children, but Zhao Rong is more childish and less calm to Zhao Changqing. Mrs. Zhu looked at the two sisters without any trace, and finally her eyes fell on Zhao Changqing and smiled, "This is what my mother said, sister Qing, she is such a smart and well-behaved child."

Old Mrs. Zhu pointed to the Zhao sisters and said to Mrs. Zhu, "Your second sister is also a grandmother, two grandsons and two granddaughters, Changqing is a sister. This child is always considerate. Arong is a few years younger and is also a good child."

Zhu Ling led the Zhao sister to pay tribute to Mrs. Zhu. Mrs. Zhu returned to her hometown and prepared countless meeting gifts. The same ones given to the Zhao sisters were the same as those of the Zhu Ling sisters, both of which were red gold hairpins, which were extremely exquisite and beautiful.

The two of them thanked him, and the old lady Zhu asked Yuan, "Have your sisters' yard been cleaned up?"

Yuan smiled, "I cleaned it up yesterday. It was in the Lanyuan next to A Lingyuan. The little sisters lived close to each other and were happy to talk."

Old Mrs. Zhu nodded, and the two sisters thanked Yuan.

Zhu Lu was just having fun in the house, and his cousins ​​met each other. During lunch, Master Zhu called Zhao Changqing over.

In fact, except for meeting Mr. Zhu at the age of six, Zhao Changqing never saw him again. When he met again, she really felt that Mr. Zhu had spent more than ten years of work on maintaining his face. No different from the handsome old man she remembered. Mr. Zhu kept muttering, "As soon as he saw you children, I felt that I was old."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "The great master is the same as he was more than ten years ago."

Old Master Zhu sighed, "I'm old."

Zhao Changqing smiled pursed his lips, "When people get old, they know what it is like to be young. Young people have no experience as old people. Just like the streams in the mountains, they are as clear as the shallow as they are, how can they have the demeanor of the sea to accommodate all rivers?"

Mr. Zhu laughed loudly, asked Zhao Changqing to sit beside him, and said happily, "Sure enough, he has grown into a little beauty."

Zhao Changqing laughed, "How dare the light of fireflies compete with the bright moon?"

"I just don't know how to dress up yet, so I can look better." Mr. Zhu smiled, "I'll have dinner with me first."

There are no strange rules for Master Zhu to use rice. It’s just that his demeanor is more elegant and his meals are more particular. At least he is more particular than Mrs. Zhu. He has not made cold dishes in the cold weather, and there are also ten dishes, four soups and two fruit orders. Master Zhu ate green rice, and he used rouge rice for Zhao Changqing.

Master Zhu did not use gold and silver ware. All the rains were raining over the sky, the blue thin porcelain was elegant in color, and the bowls and dishes were only the size of a palm, which was extremely exquisite. Therefore, the dishes were rich, but they would never be as delicious as nouveau riche. The table was filled with big fish and meat.

Zhao Changqing's etiquette was trained by Mr. Su. Over the years, it has been melted into the bones and blood. After lunch and rinsing his mouth, Master Zhu got up and took Zhao Changqing to the flower room to play. He was very grateful and said, "Your grandmother always smacks her lips when eating, but fortunately you are not like her."

Zhao Changqing laughed, "Grandmother never smacks her lips."

Master Zhu said, "I asked her to change that, otherwise I'd be afraid that she won't get married. Who did you learn this rule from?"

"Mr. Su." Zhao Changqing said, "The female teacher who teaches me to study at home."

Master Zhu nodded, "Did you learn medical skills from her?"

"The great master also knows about me taking the clinic?"

"Why don't you know? I asked someone to buy Shenxian Yangrong Pills and eat them every day, which is indeed a good thing."

Zhao Changqing and Master Zhu sat in the flower room with warm fragrance of flowers floating, and smiled, "Most of the masters are not at home and the fairy trail is hard to find, so I only respect my ancestors."

Master Zhu curled his lips and muttered, "I'm not that old woman, I still take advantage of you younger generations when I'm old."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "This is not called taking advantage. If we respect our elders and refuse to accept it, we will be sad."

Master Zhu's peach blossom eyes, which were still graceful, glanced at him, squinted his eyes, smiled at the corner of his lips, and said to Zhao Changqing in a low voice, "Actually, I have too much money. I thought, if I can't spend it before I die, my children and grandchildren will beat the dog's face for this money, which is not beautiful. So, I have been spending money desperately over the years."

Zhao Changqing laughed out loud, his eyes curled, and he didn't know what to say. Master Zhu said, "Look, the truth always makes it difficult to answer."

Zhao Changqing had no choice but to say, "The great man is very healthy, why bother to say such things?"

Master Zhu said, "Who in the world can survive? I will eat, drink, have fun, have both children and countless descendants, and have no loss in everything. Girl, are you still taboo about life and death for those who study medicine?"

"I think I should live well when I am alive."

Master Zhu said, "This is depressing. You should be at the extreme when you are alive."
