Chapter 199(1/2)

Life is the same everywhere, and people are similar everywhere.

People from the northwest and Shu are not all humans.

If you are a person, your mind will be the same.

When Xia Wen visited Uncle Zhao Wu and others back to the room, Zhao Changqing had already washed up and sat under the lamp to read. Xia Wen said, "Don't read books at night, it's not enough."

Zhao Changqing looked at him and joked, "I thought you had to rest in Uncle Wu's room."

Xia Wen went over and took the book from Zhao Changqing's hand. Zhao Changqing called his maid in to serve Xia Wen to wash. When the two of them were resting in the bed, Xia Wen held Zhao Changqing's waist and said, "It's a mess when I come back on the first day, so don't be upset."

Zhao Changqing had no intention of being angry. If he was angry because of such a small matter, there would be some angry days in the future. Zhao Changqing said, "What's wrong with this? It's said that each courtyard has its kitchens. My aunt was anxious for a moment. If you want water, use some water in our kitchen. It's just a trivial matter. How can you be upset about this? You underestimate me too much."

"But now I can see that as soon as we came back, and I brought so many people, let alone the staff, even the kitchen is nervous. Today is the first day, and it can be said that the house was busy just now. If you do this tomorrow, where will you put your face?" Zhao Changqing said, "This matter is easy to solve. I will go to my grandmother and mother tomorrow and tell my grandmother that the kitchen is tight, so let's set up a kitchen in this room. No need for anything else. There are two empty rooms in the empty room, and the rest will be done now. It will save you from being hurt for some small matters, don't you?"

Xia Wen thought for a moment and said, "This makes sense, let alone you can't eat anything from Shu. People who have never eaten spicy food are always spicy. Don't open this, I'll talk to my mother and grandmother tomorrow."

Zhao Changqing laughed, "Okay."

"Changqing."

"Um?"

"Do you think our family is not as good as you thought?"

Zhao Changqing sighed, "As these days, we live together in tribes. Everyone has these things, which is nothing. On this day, I will listen to whatever the elders say, but my natural temper is not unreasonable. Just be reasonable with me, and there is no need to pay attention to a lot. We are our days, so don't be distracted from these trivial matters. As long as we live a good life, who can't smile at us? Even those who have no intention of being careful are just like this."

Xia Wen said, "If you have any worries, you must tell me not to be in your heart."

"I won't tell you whom." Zhao Changqing smiled, "After meeting the relatives and clansmen, you will take me to the county town for a good time. The friends, classmates, and teachers you made in the past must also move around. This is your future foundation. What's the fun of the inner house? It's just three melons and two dates. If you have the same heart as me, no one can be angry with me."

The young couple said a lot and hugged each other and fell asleep late at night.

The Xia family is a family of scholars, and it is a bit older, so the rules are naturally trivial. The next morning, I paid homage to the house, worshiped the stove, and sacrificed the gods, and the time to officially meet the elders. Zhao Changqing presented needles and threads, and Mrs. Xia gave a pair of red gold bracelets, Mrs. Xia gave a pair of gold butterfly hairpins, and Aunt Xia gave a pair of leek leaf silver bracelets. Next, Xia Jing and Zhao Lian gave Zhao Changqing, and Zhao Changqing gave them the things prepared yesterday.

While everyone was in the same place, Xia Wen asked about cleaning up the kitchen. He said, "Last night, I went to Uncle Zhao Wu's house to talk. I just finished the wine, and there was no hot water in the teapot. When I found Ping An Pinggui, I asked. The kitchen was only concerned about cooking, so the hot water was naturally only for the elders. I went to the kitchen to see it, and I was really nervous. In the future, I would like to study and I would have to ask for soup dishes at night. I thought, the row of houses in the back room was also spacious. I would pack two rooms and we would set up a kitchen alone. As long as there was an empty room, we would buy everything ourselves."

As soon as Xia Wen said this, everyone first looked at Xia Wen and Zhao Changqing. They thought to themselves that this young wife is really capable. She will have to stand alone in the kitchen the next day when she comes to her husband's house.

Old Mrs. Xia coughed and said first, "How did Ping'an Pinggui serve? Let the in-laws drink water."

Xia Wen laughed, "Seeing what my grandmother said, they are all new and there is no supply of hot water in the kitchen. What can they do? They are so anxious that they want to go to the kitchen to cook by themselves, but that is not their mission, and they can't ask them to cook by themselves, right? There are too many things in the kitchen, and even if each person has more eight hands, it's not enough to say that they can't blame them." In the past few years, Xia Wen has not had no experience, but stopped Mrs. Xia in one sentence.

Old Mrs. Xia said, "I am old, let's discuss with your mother."

Xia Wen smiled, "The old lady loves me, and my mother doesn't care about me. Since this is the case, I'll bother Liu Ma, who is beside the old lady, to see her free house for us. In the afternoon, I went to find a bricklayer and set a few stoves."

Aunt Xia smiled in a sharp voice, "Oh, Brother Wen couldn't see it before, he really loved his wife."

Xia Wen laughed, "Doesn't it just hurt when his wife gets married? Men with abilities love their daughter-in-law."

When Mrs. Xia saw that her sister-in-law was defeated, she felt extremely satisfied and smiled at Zhao Changqing and said, "The niece-in-law is lucky."

Zhao Changqing smiled shyly, not humble at all, "I will accept the words of Second Auntie. It's just that I'll start, and the great blessing is still here."

Aunt Xia smiled slightly and said, "I heard that the daughter in the Northwest is generous. When I saw her today, it wasn't that true. Especially when I talked, I said that my niece-in-law, we can't be like this. Your second aunt is my own family. If you want to go outside, you will still be like this, but you will make people laugh at me."

Zhao Changqing laughed, "Auntie understands us people in the northwest. We people in the northwest are not only generous, but also straightforward. Who would laugh at me when I go outside? Who would laugh at me for being able to say in front of me, and ask me to see how I laugh at me. I have never been laughed at in my life. If someone really laughs at me, I would be able to open my eyes."

Zhao Lian has been spoiled since childhood and always suppresses Xia Yu. At this time, she can no longer hold back and points to Zhao Changqing's nose and says, "It's a joke to talk to my mother like this!"

Zhao Changqing didn't even move a single eyebrows and said, "Cousin Zhao, from the perspective of seniority, I am your cousin's sister-in-law. From the perspective of distance, you are the girl from the cousin's family. I went to see Shangfu Speaker and General's wife before, but no one pointed at the nose like this and said a harsh word. Old lady, you are the most fair, please give me an explanation!"

Old Mrs. Xia frowned and said, "Okay, it's so much that I'm so tired early in the morning. Let's break up."

Zhao Changqing said, "I heard that my name has not been added to the noble genealogy yet, so I don't think it's necessary. It just so happens that my mother's brothers are here, and the boxes and cages are all neat. I'll go back to the border town now." He got up and walked out.

Xia Wen hurriedly stopped Zhao Changqing, and Mrs. Xia was also panicked. Mrs. Xia Er grabbed one of her arms and said, "Niece-in-law, what is this saying? A child is just ignorant. Don't bother with her!"

Old Mrs. Xia immediately made a decision, slapped Zhao Lian on the face, and cursed, "Ignorance Little Hoof, how did I teach you on weekdays? I won't go to apologize to your cousin's wife!"

Mrs. Xia said, "My wife, you have always been in a state of mind. Don't get angry about the ignorant girl Lian. She is young and has a reckless temper. She also hits the old lady from time to time. She is not good, but your sister-in-law teaches her that so many elders love you. Come, let's sit here and talk."

Zhao Changqing sat back and looked at Zhao Lian coldly. However, Zhao Lian had never been so angry since she arrived at the Xia family. She ran out with a loud cry. Zhao Changqing smiled and said, "Yesterday, I heard the old lady talk about the scholarly family that the Xia family in Qingcheng had experienced in three dynasties. I don't know how many of them were from the Duke, Marquis and Prime Ministers. Now, looking at my cousin, even if I came from the Wuxun family, I have never seen such innocent and lively children." In fact, when the little Wuxun of the Zhao family was passed on to Zhao Changqing's short-lived grandfather, it was the last generation. Zhao Changqing's father had not enjoyed the glory of this ancestor. However, Zhao Changqing also lacked the skills of sticking gold to his face. Especially when it was placed in front of someone like Mrs. Xia, if you don't put two taels of gold on your face, she would think you were begging for food.

Old Mrs. Xia's face looked very ugly, "Don't worry, grandson-daughter-in-law, I will not let you suffer any grievances."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I have nothing to worry about. Old lady, you are the old lady of our Xia family. After all, Miss Zhao is not surnamed Xia, so she doesn't know the rules of the Xia family."

Aunt Xia said, "A Lian is young and speaks straightforwardly. Why do you have to be so reasonable and unforgivable, right?"

Xia Wen couldn't listen and said, "Aunt, my wife just flattered you for a few jokes. She asked herself that she had no rudeness, so her cousin jumped out to criticize her. Now, in my aunt's mouth, my wife is unreasonable. I'm sorry I can't understand what my aunt means."

Aunt Xia slapped herself, opened her mouth and howled, "I'll suck your mouth, you can't speak like this, and you can't offend people."

Zhao Changqing immediately stood up from the chair and left without saying a word. Mrs. Xia was close to her and wanted to stop her again. I wonder how Zhao Changqing brushed her, but she didn't even touch the corner of her clothes. Zhao Changqing had already left the door.

Xia Wen was so angry that he said to Aunt Xia, "My wife has come back the first day, and Aunt bullies people like this. It seems that she is so close!" He hurriedly chased Zhao Changqing.

When Zhao Changqing went out, he ordered Yongfu Honger beside him, "Call Aning Bai over!"

Xia Wen caught up with Zhao Changqing, held his wife's hand, and kept pulling her back to the room. He asked the little maid to bring the tea and said, "You have a cup of tea first to calm down. I will definitely not let you suffer any grievances."

Zhao Changning and Su Bai had already heard the news. Things like the new wife accepting her relatives and performing ceremonies are the Xia family's affairs. They are not easy to get involved. They are discussing going out for a walk. When they heard about this, Zhao Changning stinked his face first and asked Xia Wen with his fists, "You give me the right words, what are your family's plans? I have coaxed my sister to come back with you, and you just want her to be wronged!" Xia Wen dared to say something unpleasant, and Zhao Changning was already planning to smash him with a flowery face.

Su Bai never turned around and left without saying a word, "Even if you go back to the border town, you can't go back in vain. The Xia family must first explain this matter!"

Xia Wende first said kind words to his two brothers, "A Ning, Bai, you go to the inner room to sit with your sister for a while, Kuan Jie Kuan Jie, I will go and seek justice for her."

Both houses of the Xia family came over, and Uncle Xia said, "This niece-in-law just came, so no wonder the two uncles were angry. I was also angry. The family spoiled the child and asked her to hit her niece-in-law."

Zhao Changning didn't appreciate it at all and said, "I heard that your Xia family is all students, and the cousin has been spoiled. Your aunt still slapped herself in the face without making a fuss. I am also a scholar, but it was the first time I saw this Western scenery. She didn't slap herself, but she knew that my sister married far away to your Qingcheng County, and her family was far away, so she bullied her! Fortunately, I am still there. If I go back to the border town, I don't know how much grievances my sister suffered!"

Su Bai continued, "There is no need to say these words here. I have asked Uncle Zhao Wu to go to your patriarch's house to ask for an explanation. Since I raised it, I will teach it. The cousin raised it in your Xia family. Since she didn't know the etiquette, don't ask her to come out to meet people! In the past, I only knew that the in-laws and the in-laws were good, and Brother Wu also got along with us, so my family agreed to the marriage. What is the purpose of my brother-in-law Xia's character. When I came to Qingcheng, I heard about the reputation of the Xia family in Qingcheng. I thought it was a family who knew etiquette and was kind, but I didn't want to be mean to my daughter-in-law like this. I asked your patriarch to come over and comment on this principle!"

Zhao Changning continued, "I just don't know if your patriarch is not fair. Yongshou, I called the county magistrate over with my sister's post! Even the emperor's imperial edict said that my sister has made merits in defending the country and is virtuous and virtuous. You just despise her in front of me, and you bully her too much! Do you think there is no one in our Zhao family?"

Mr. Xia, Uncle Xia took turns to talk nice things to Zhao Changning and Su Bai, but he didn't want to make things worse. Uncle Xia said, "Awen, you can persuade two uncles."

Xia Wen shook his face and said, "A Ning Abai said it was right. When he was in the border town, life was hard, but the family was harmonious. My wife and I had a long time together for half a year, and my face never blushed. What kind of person is she? My second uncle and second aunt don't know, and my father and mother know about it. I have never been sorry for our family. Now that I just returned to my hometown, I have so many things that I have to take care of. I know that my aunt's thoughts are nothing more than seeing her decree, so I have to control her. These things in the inner house should not be taken care of by men. Now I am also a married person. Do you think that my wife is angry? Although my aunt has a high seniority, there is always a clear distinction between right and wrong. My wife is in the border town, with industries, parents' families, relatives, and old friends. I have given up these things from me who have traveled thousands of miles away from me.

If I can't even protect her in such a small matter, I will be a man. Right or wrong is wrong. Today I won't tell you clearly. Others just think of my cousin's cousin's wife the day before, and my aunt slapped herself in the face. If I don't say it right or wrong in front of the clan members, my wife will not know what to say in the future. My father's second uncle also saw it. It is appropriate to persuade Aning and Abai not to be bothered, but I shouldn't persuade me to swallow my anger. I can't bear it, either! I can't ask my wife to take the blame for this ready-made one! Xia Wu, go to the clan to see. If Uncle Zhao Wu doesn't know anything, please follow the clan to make up for it. Be sure to ask the clan manager to come over." Xia Wen did not persuade Zhao Changning and Su Bai, but he also sent Xia Wu out.

Uncle Xia was about to stop him, but Xia Wu ran away with his waist.

"Brother Xia's words are quite reasonable." Su Bai took a breath and said, "The character of the aunt of the noble family is really eye-opening. You don't have to rush to persuade us. The aunt of the noble family can slap himself. I heard that your old lady is old, so I'd better look at the old lady. At the moment, after all, it's all ready-made shit and slap us!"

Zhao Changning said, "We are younger. We have only heard of it before, but have never seen it. This time we have gained insight. You are the scholarly family, but you have many methods. You are so honest like my sister, and she can't even make her do this, and she feels disgusting!"

Mrs. Xia, Mrs. Xia, advised Zhao Changqing in the inner room, just to say something about the wheels. Mrs. Xia sighed, "Mrs. Broken her arm in her sleeve. Her aunt has such a temper. You have been studying and have a good education. This is a matter of the matter between the aunt and the cousin. But when it gets a big deal, others still have to say that your new wife is not. Niece-in-law, although this is not a good word, it is my second aunt's truth. I am also a veteran. My aunt is so strong. Ask your mother-in-law, who is not allowed to let her down. She has a sarcastic temper, just pretend that she didn't see it."

Mrs. Xia sighed, "This day is not as good as ours in the border town."

Mrs. Xia Er said, "Sister-in-law, I am trying to persuade my niece-in-law, why do you say such things?" She came to tear her down.

"This is also the truth." Mrs. Xia said, "I have been open to the border town in the past few years. In the past, there were also maids and mothers at home, but they had troubles every day and could not be peaceful. When I went to the border town, I also took care of work outside. I washed clothes, and Sister Yu did some handicrafts. Wuer and his father copied books for other people's bookshops, and Awen went to collect herbs outside. Even if there were no delicacies, the whole family would be simple and simple, and the people in the border town were straightforward and easy to get along. Later, Awen became a doctor, married a wife, and lived a life of one heart. It was particularly interesting."

"Old aunt, we have never been irritated in the past for so many years, but we know the taste of some words and things. We have been giving birth to the old Xia family for so many years, and we have worked hard without any contribution. Seeing that our children are older, I am tired." Mrs. Xia sighed tiredly and said, "I'll ask my wife to bear it today. I'll have a future tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? We are sisters-in-law, and there's no way. My aunt is a distinguished guest, so it's better to be controlled by her.

. My wife is her niece-in-law. If she controls me, she will still control my wife? In the future, will Brother Jinger not get married? We have been living like this for most of our lives and still call my wife to endure it. After the wife is to endure it, the granddaughter-in-law will continue to endure it. What is the fun of it? "Mrs. Xia is not a fool, and her daughter-in-law is not a fool. She understands her sister-in-law's temperament too well, and that is the most greedy person. At this time, she cannot call her daughter-in-law to endure it.

The sister-in-law used to be together and there were quite a few frictions. Now that I haven't seen each other in recent years, Mrs. Xia's words made Mrs. Xia's eyes red and she wiped her tears. "My sister-in-law has not been at home in the past few years. I have been holding back so many things I have never talked to my sister-in-law." With Aunt Xia's temper, she dares to criticize Zhao Changqing now, and her two sister-in-law never take them seriously.

As everyone was talking, a bunch of people came to the clan leader's family. The clan leader was the same generation as Mr. Xia, but he was older and had a white beard and had a rich life. What surprised the Xia family was that the clan elder and the clan elder also came. This was not surprising. The clan leader had not been an official, and he had the fame of a juren, and the clan leader's wife had no imperial decree. Zhao Changqing was from the sixth rank, and the clan elder was awarded the imperial decree of a fourth rank, because his second son was a fourth rank, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and both of them were imperial decree, which was easier to talk to.

Mrs. Xia and the second wife of Xia went out to greet each other and told the clan elder to the main house. The clan elder said, "Where is the new wife? I'll go see the new wife. I heard yesterday that you came back and Brother Wen married my wife. I was happy. Why did you just the first day, you were lazy in your wife?" He came to Zhao Changqing's house. He waved his hand and did not ask his sons to follow him, and said, "You men go elsewhere, don't neglect your in-laws. Let us women say a few words quietly."

The Xia family is also a master of the world. The clan elder has a little bit of vision. When she stops in the new house, she will know whether this thing is good or bad. The Zhao family is actually not a good family, but Zhao Changqing is not a person who will be wronged. Moreover, there are several good relatives at home, so she has quite a good treasure. The clan elder nods slightly, and is a family with family background.

When Zhao Changqing heard someone coming in, she stood up from the chair. Mrs. Xia hurriedly introduced the origins of the people to her daughter-in-law. When Zhao Changqing saw the court, she said, "I originally thought that a reasonable person from the clan came to talk to me and talk to me. It alarmed the old lady. I was really uneasy. Please sit on this couch."

When Mrs. Xia heard that the clan elder was coming, she hurriedly brought her daughter to meet her.

The elder of the clan was covered in silver hair, tied a bun, and put a white jade bird's hairpin. He was wearing a silk dress. It was not gorgeous, but it was extremely poor. Sitting on the upper couch, the elder of the clan looked at Zhao Changqing and said, "It turns out that I thought, you just arrived yesterday, have a day off, and you are going to my place today. I don't want to make you feel wronged."

Zhao Changqing said, "If you are wronged or not, you must have a statement right or wrong. I am afraid that the fifth uncle and my brother-in-law are anxious and don't say it very clearly. Hong'er, tell the old lady again." Yongfu has always been in charge of the affairs in her room, but if you talk about it, you are not as smart as Hong'er.

Hong'er said things from beginning to end, and she expressed her own opinions. This was not because Hong'er was brave. Because Zhao Changqing said something inconvenient, she said to the Lord, "Miss Cousin is really a big-name. Our girl, in the past, met with the wife of the General's Mansion, the Lady of the Shangshu, and the Magistrate, who did not praise her for knowledge and etiquette. Now that she has just arrived at the precious land, she will first say that my girl is rude. This is really hard to understand."

"Another lady, my son-in-law told her a reason. There was no disrespect for her. She slapped her mouth. I, a slave, even if I don't have any knowledge, have followed the girl to know some rules and etiquette since I was a child. She didn't hit herself? She was slapping our girl. How could she hit me in the face?" Hong'er said tactfully, "No one knows this. It's because my girl came from afar, so she's wrong with what she says and what she does. She's right when she comes. The man outside doesn't know these vicious methods in the inner house, but my girl doesn't know, but I know that I am a maid. Now seeing that my girl is not that weak, I cry. I can't say that I can jump into a well after a while. We can't even tell a hundred mouths!"

"Old ladies and wives are all knowledgeable people. First, we judge us and tell us a right or wrong. We dare not stay there. We girls have been studying with our female husband since childhood, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, etiquette, and not knowing what. Our master is also a sixth-rank 100 household. Our old ladies and wives hold our girl's eyes as much as they are, and they have never said a single verbal word on weekdays. Even our ancestors are also the title of the fifth-rank stout general! If it weren't for the character of my son-in-law, how could she be willing to marry into this faraway place! In the past, everything was fine in the border town, but I just arrived in Qingcheng County, and I couldn't live there for half a day!" Hong'er said, "Old ladies, don't think I'm straightforward. We people in the northwest have a straight temper and say anything. Now everyone in the world is with the red head and white

Some virtuous people think they can be deceived. Some people who know polite people think they are weak. So they are arrogant and scheming, and they work step by step! Our uncle is younger, and he will be a scholar on the seventeenth day! Our uncle is a scholar on the sixteenth day, and he will be a scholar on the imperial capital in the next year! He is the cousin of his uncle, and he is still a scholar now! Even if he dares not compare with aristocratic families like aristocrats, his family

There are ten uncles and grandpas in the country, all of whom are officials, not to mention uncles and brothers. Those who have served in official positions do not know ordinary people! Two years ago, the great master passed away, and the imperial capital Peng Xiangye sent his grandson to pay tribute! Our girls came to noble places and respected everything, and everything was complete. Because she was shy and did not like words, some people regarded her as a poor family and despised her and bullied her. Even if a girl could tolerate it, we girls could not see girls being bullied like this!"

"Fortunately, the two old men followed, and the uncles in the clan escorted them all the way, and their mother's family was there. In this situation, I really dare not think about what happened in the future, and there is no need to think about it."

The patriarch's wife laughed, "Oh, what a loyal girl who protects the master. This girl has been very well conditioned. Oh, no wonder you are angry. I also feel rude when I listen." She turned around and said to Aunt Xia, "You are the daughter who returns to your parents' home, and you are also at this age. I thought that you should understand the worldly principles in the world, but you didn't understand. Your girl was not allowed at the time when the Zhao family refused to let go, so you should take her with you. Since you couldn't teach her well, she was not surnamed Xia after all, so it was difficult for her to delay. Let her go back to the Zhao family."

The patriarch's wife is the patriarch's wife, and she poked Aunt Xia's life in one sentence. Aunt Xia knelt down and was about to cry, but the patriarch's wife sneered, "It seems that this girl is right. You are really addicted to crying, making trouble and hanging! Forget it, our Xia family dare not keep you. You are widowed and guard everywhere. Go back to your husband's family." After a sentence, Aunt Xia felt like her tongue was cut off, and she dared to cry and didn't dare to die.

Old Mrs. Xia couldn't sit still and smiled with the clan elder, "Sister-in-law, it was because the child was ignorant, and he hit her cousin's sister-in-law. My daughter said she had lived for decades, but she was so confused. I just asked Sister Lian to come over and apologize to her sister-in-law. As the saying goes, when the upper teeth are still pounding, not to mention that the family lives, it is inevitable that the bumps and bumps will be bumped." As she said that, she hurriedly sent Mrs. Ling to find Zhao Lian, and said, "My daughter is very miserable. If she asks her to go back to her in-laws' house, she will not give her a way out."

The clan elder said, "I heard that Da Niu's family is so polite, you think too much." The old lady didn't remember Aunt Xia's name, but only knew that she was the eldest daughter, so she called Da Niu.

Old Mrs. Xia covered her tears and said, "You know the etiquette is just a polite person. She is harsh on Sister Lian'er's mother."

The elder of the clan said lightly, "Oh, so you still know what meant to be mean."

Old Mrs. Xia was ashamed and had to bite the bullet and ask for help from the victim, saying, "I spoiled Sister Lian. Sister Lian'er's mother's temper, I will talk about her. In the future, the family will live happily, right? My grandson-in-law?"

Old Mrs. Xia was used to being Lao Fengjun at home, and after she had enough of her two daughters-in-law, she thought Zhao Changqing was also a good talker. Zhao Changqing said, "I first came to the Xia family, but I don't know the rules and regulations of the Xia family. It's just how the elders say it and how I listen."
To be continued...
