Zheng Jia looked at Zhao Changqing and crushed Liang Qingyuan's tablet to shake the bones and ashes. For some reason, he felt a stuttering in his heart and swallowed in a very unreliable way. Zhao Changqing's eyes seemed to have quenched the snow and ice in winter, and said earnestly, "Thank you, Brother Zheng, for telling me these things. Brother Zheng is more informed than me. If there is any inside story of the Chu family in the future, please tell me."

Zheng Jiayuan wanted to persuade Zhao Changqing, but he didn't say anything to comfort him. Zhao Changqing said, "It's very cold here, there is no tea, so I won't keep Brother Zheng."

Zheng Jia said dryly, "Take care, don't be too sad." He sighed secretly and said goodbye. There are countless sad things in this world, some people are happy to cry, some are happy to cry, and some are silent to tears, but when they are sad to the extreme, there is no tears to shed. For example, Zhao Changqing, Zhao Changqing doesn't have a tear, but Zheng Jia feels sad when she sees her.

After Zheng Jia left, Zhao Changqing sat for a while and left.

Mrs. Ling happened to talk to her house. Mrs. Zheng was very happy when she saw Zhao Changqing and smiled, "I heard your mother say you went to see the business in the shop. Oh, there is no girl in our family who is more capable than Changqing. My sister can handle people." The last two sentences obviously complimented Ling.

Ling smiled, "Look at where my second sister-in-law has gone, don't praise her like this, she is just an ordinary child."

Zhao Changqing was in a bad mood, so he perfunctorily said to Mrs. Ling Er, and stood up and said, "Second aunt, I just came back from outside, and I will come over after changing my clothes."

Mrs. Ling Er smiled and looked kind, "Go and go."

Zhao Changqing went back to his house.

Mrs. Ling continued to tell Ling, "The incense in Ping'an Temple is the most powerful. I go there every day on the first day of the day to burn incense and pray for blessings. My family is a normal life. If my sister has time, it is better to go with her this year. I will go there to ask about A Teng's future."

Ling smiled, "That's good." She wanted to ask her daughter's future.

Mrs. Ling Er laughed, "It's better to call Changqing. The girl is older, so go and relax more."

Ling did not respond immediately and said, "I'll ask her before talking."

Mrs. Ling Er laughed, "Okay, the third sister's day is set at the 12th day of the twelfth lunar month. Don't ask your sister to come over and have fun."

Ling smiled, "Even if my second sister-in-law doesn't come, I'll go too."

Just when Mrs. Ling said goodbye, Zhao Changqing showed up and gave Mrs. Ling. Ling asked Zhao Changqing, "Why did you see your second aunt so cold?"

Zhao Changqing said lazyly, "The second aunt looked at me like a snake staring at a frog, and she wished she could swallow me in one bite."

Ling's "Puchi" made her amused and scolded, "No one can say that elders like this."

Zhao Changqing knew Mrs. Ling very well, and knew Mrs. Ling's temperament of not getting up early without profit. Besides, she also understood Ling's thoughts. Zhao Changqing smiled and said, "I don't know why, since the second sister got married to the Xu family, I wanted to stay away from my second aunt as soon as I saw my second aunt, so that she would think too much. What's more, I'm getting older, and my cousin will be a scholar next year. He is also aged at the age of starting a family and starting a career. Cousins ​​should be farther away, so don't let anyone misunderstand it."

Ling's heart sank slightly, and there was something in his words, "Your cousin has always been very nice to you. If you want to stay away from him, he will feel uncomfortable."

How could Zhao Changqing not see what Ling was thinking? He said to Ling intimately, "It's not a big deal now. Our family is a cousin, and we are still blood relatives. We are not far from being married these days. Nowadays, we are not a couple. How can we have a misunderstanding for our future cousin's wife?"

When Ling heard Zhao Changqing's words, he knew that Zhao Changqing had no intention of Ling Teng at all. Ling said, "If your cousin says he is close, he will have to wait for the scholar."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I understand my cousin's character very well. It's just that my second aunt's temper. Which daughter-in-law has such a mother-in-law, I really have to think carefully. Besides, my cousin has to share two families with her. I said this to my mother, don't be angry. Although my cousin is good, the burden on his shoulders is not light. It's fine if other daughters-in-law serve their first-class parents-in-law. When they arrive at their cousin, their uncles and aunts will have to count on their cousin, grandfather, grandmother, and a daughter-in-law to deal with their third-class parents-in-law. How can this life be easy? No matter how good the cousin is, his marriage is not easy. If I want me, it's better to be the best cousin to be a juren, and then talk about marriage. If there are those families who think he has a good future, they may be willing to make a beloved daughter."

Ling tentatively said, "Your uncle and your second uncle are separated. It's just that your uncle is offering sacrifices when he gets old. Even your second aunt has always been used to being speechless and not being a bad person."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "What kind of person is my second aunt? This has nothing to do with our family. Anyway, I'll stay away from her for the time being, so that she won't have any idea of ​​me."

Ling sighed, "Don't say this too much, your cousin will definitely have a great future in the future."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "It is a blessing for his second uncle and second aunt who have a future. Let's be happy for him. After all, it has nothing to do with our family. I hope Aning will have a future in the future. This is my serious brother."

Ling finally had nothing to say and said, "Your third cousin is the day of the twelfth lunar month. I will add makeup later. What do you want to give her? Prepare it first."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I understand."

Ling said this to her husband at night, "What should I do? I think Changqing has no intention of Aseng."

Zhao Yong didn't feel a pity, but instead said, "It can be seen that our daughter has vision."

Ling was a little unhappy, "Can Ah Teng just enter your eyes like this?"

Zhao Yong said, "Look at what you said, don't you know how I am with Aseng? Aseng is a good person, but this is different from being a son-in-law. Since Changqing doesn't want to, don't mention it anymore. If you have time, tell the old man tactfully, so as not to delay Aseng."

Ling said, "There are perfect people everywhere."

Zhao Yong said, "That's up to my daughter."

Ling didn't say anything else, and the couple rested.

However, Zhao Rong saw that Ling seemed unhappy when she observed her face. She asked, "What's wrong with you, do you feel uncomfortable?"

Ling sighed, "It's okay."

Zhao Rong asked deliberately, "Are you worried about your cousin's exam for a scholar next year? If this is the case, you don't have to worry, your cousin will definitely win."

Ling smiled, "If you say this to your second aunt, she will definitely be happy."

Zhao Rong smiled, "If I say no, my cousin will win. He has always been good at studying, and scholars will definitely not be able to defeat him. If I ask me, my cousin may be able to pass the imperial examination and the Jinshi exam in one go. At that time, I wonder how many people will propose marriage to my second aunt."

Ling was a little moved by Zhao Rong's words, and Zhao Rong whispered, "Mom, don't miss the opportunity."

“What opportunity?”

"Of course it's the opportunity for our two families to get married." Zhao Rong showed a naive and pride. "Every time my second aunt comes, I ask about her sister. I've guessed it! Mom, is the second aunt interested in her sister and wants to tell her sister to her cousin!"

At the child's house, one or two of them are like a sperm.

Ling pulled down her face and said, "Don't just talk." She just thought about it in her stomach, and she couldn't take it out and say this anymore.

Zhao Rong raised her mouth and said, "Where is a mess? I am very happy for my sister. My mother doesn't know yet. My sister is actually a person with high hearts. She has been studying and literate since she was a child. She will never be able to marry a rough man. My cousin is so good to her. What's the best for her to give her sister. Besides, my cousin is so promising and has no character. Isn't it a good match?"

Ling sighed, "It is not something that people say whether they are worthy or not. It depends on whether they have this fate."

Zhao Rong smiled, "My sister used to discuss marriage with the Chu family, but she was not destined to be together. But where can there be another Chu family now? My sister always doesn't want to do this and that doesn't want to do it. My mother is the one who is good at tutoring and guiding my sister."

Zhao Rong's words really came to Ling's heart. Ling said, "It's your third sister who is married again, and it's the New Year again. She can't get busy yet. Now there is no time left. Let's talk about it after the New Year." She was actually a little worried about enlightening Zhao Changqing. In Ling's opinion, Zhao Changqing is the kind of person who has made up his mind and never looks back. Ordinary people really can't enlighten her.

Zhao Rong smiled, "The third sister comes out. Although I am a sister, I have prepared some small things for the third sister."

Ling smiled, "It should be."

Zhao Rong smiled, "I don't know what my sister has prepared?"

Ling smiled, "It's just jewelry and clothing. How did you give it to your elder sister, second sister, and your third sister are the same."

Ling thought it was the same, but Zhao Changqing was really different. She didn't give anything, so she followed Ling over for a while. When she put on makeup, she was all relatives. As an aunt, Ling treated her nieces equally. She followed the example of adding makeup to Ling Sister Ling and Ling Second Sister, and putting on makeup to Ling Third Sister. Needless to say, Ling Second Sister, they all came to put on makeup to Ling Third Sister. Although Ling Fourth Sister did not like Ling Third Sister, and she was a sister, she didn't need to put on makeup to her sister, due to Ling Teng's face, Ling Fourth Sister gave Ling Third Sister a pair of silver hairpins. Zhao Rong's face was even more generous, and she prepared a pair of silk gold bracelets. The rest of the relatives all had their own makeup.

Zhao Changqing has nothing.

Originally, there was no more makeup. This kind of makeup was voluntarily based on others' voluntary. Zhao Rong said more, "Sister, what did you give to the third sister? Didn't you bring it?"

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I am a sister, and I haven't been there anyway. Where is my turn to add makeup to my third sister? Although I had prepared a few things, my third sister later taught me that our boudoir girls should be beautiful with thorn hairpins and cloth skirts, so I didn't bring those common things, but I just brought blessings. I hope that the third sister and Mr. Lin will grow old together and be in love."

She said this with a smile, thanks to Ling Sanjie's thick pink, otherwise her face would have turned green. Ling Sanjie gritted her teeth and smiled, "Thank you, sister."

Zhao Changqing laughed, "We sisters, how can we be so polite?" Later, he was lazy and went to find Sister Ling, and Ling second sister spoke. Sister Ling became richer than before, and her expression was as usual. Sister Ling's belly bulged again, and the month was quite big, so it was really hard for her to come out. Zhao Changqing asked about the days, and Sister Ling laughed, "The doctor said that it was about the tenth day of the second month."

Ling Erjie smiled, "I said it's a good time, it's lukewarm. If you're on a hot and hot day, you don't dare to use ice and don't dare to get a trace of wind in the window, you'll be really suffering."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Yes. Moreover, in February, birthday is also great. It's spring again, everything is revived, and the signs are all good."

Sister Ling is a gentle person, let alone a mother. When she heard this, she was no longer unhappy and laughed, "I'll borrow my sister from the words."

After lunch, the relatives said goodbye one after another.

Naturally, Uncle Ling's family stayed until the end. Ling Sijie said to her mother in the car, "I don't know why the third sister offended Sister Qing, but Sister Qing didn't give anything to the third sister."

Mrs. Ling was slightly surprised, "Isn't this possible?" Before her eldest daughter and second daughter came out, Zhao Changqing was also a little sister. She was very generous and well-behaved, and gave her very good gifts. Logically, Ling Sanjie was still the cousin of her uncle's family, let alone Zhao Changqing's considerate person, how could she fall behind Ling Sanjie?

Ling Sijie said, "Why can't it be? It must be that the third sister did something embarrassing. The third sister is so easy to dress up. She used to say to Sister Qing, 'Girls should be beautiful for their thorn hairpins and cloth skirts'. Because of her saying this, Sister Qing said that she would not give the third sister a vulgar thing. The third sister was so angry that her face changed."

Mrs. Ling sighed, "A little thing. Changqing is a sister, but she has not yet made her debut. She is willing to give it to her. It is the love between you sisters. If you don't want to give it, no one can say anything."

Sister Ling Si laughed secretly, "Mom, if you think so, my aunt and third cousin must not think so."

Mrs. Ling poked her daughter's forehead and said angrily, "What are you doing with gloating?"

Sister Ling hit the nail on the head.

Ling Sanjie trembled with anger at Zhao Changqing. She was already eighteen this year, not as careless as she used to be when she was a child, let alone her good days. If she turned against each other, she would make people laugh. Therefore, even though Ling Sanjie was so angry that she forced her to get angry, she just pretended to be shy. She pretended until Uncle Ling's family said goodbye. Then Ling Sanjie didn't have to pretend anymore. She clapped her hand and shouted, "Mom--"

Mrs. Ling got up and worked hard at the fifth day. She was just breathing and was drinking tea. Seeing Sister Ling twisting her handkerchief and jumping around with Mars, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? On a happy day, who would make you angry?" My daughter was about to get married, and Mrs. Ling added three points to her heart that she had already loved her daughter, and was busy asking why.

Ling Sanjie couldn't bear it anymore, so she said that Zhao Changqing didn't add makeup to her and how to mock her. After holding her anger for most of the day, Ling Sanjie was sobbing that she cried and said, "Big sister, the second sister put on makeup before she came out. She was only a few years old, so she knew how to give them materials and jewelry. Am I greedy for those things? They are all cousins, big sisters, and second sisters, but there aren't me. I don't know how many people secretly laugh at me."

When Mrs. Ling Er heard that her eyebrows were hanging, she pinched the teacup and asked, "What? I didn't give you half of the item?"

"Yes." Ling Sanjie wiped her tears and said, "Even Arong gave me a pair of bracelets, Zhao Changqing came empty-handed."

Mrs. Ling Er slapped the teacup onto the table and cursed coldly, "This bad-hearted girl! Only my uncle is kissing, but this second uncle is not kissing, right? No, this matter is not over! I'll go to your aunt's house and ask, what's the feeling she has!"

Ling Teng heard the noise inside and came out and said, "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Ling Er was even more furious, "Isn't that girl yet? What does she mean? Your elder sister, second sister put on makeup, she has all the good things to give her. Why did she lose even a chicken feather when she arrived at your sister? She clearly didn't have the aunt like me! She didn't have the uncle like your father! I'll go to your aunt now and talk to you!"

Ling Teng stopped his mother first and sighed, "What is Mom doing? It's just that. The relatives, who want to give him as much as he wants, is voluntary. What can you ask me if you go? Why don't you give my sister to my sister? Is that too much more? My sister Qing is young and is a sister, and she has not given her a gift, so why should I give her? She gives her, but others can't say anything, but she doesn't give her, and she can't say anything. Mom, go to my aunt's house to start a crime. I asked my mother if she has put on makeup for her sister? Compared to the previous example of the eldest and second sisters, is there less?"

Mrs. Ling Er widened her eyes and said, "Your aunt has always been a great deal to me. She treats you siblings well, but she is just a snobbish girl that makes people angry!"

Ling Teng sighed, "Well, do you go through this, are you asking Sister Qing why she didn't add makeup to her sister? Think about it yourself, can you say this? Let others laugh at you? Do you say that your aunt is happy to you, and if you go through this, where will you put your face on?"

Mrs. Ling Er said in a disgusting manner, "Then what do you think? It's so angry that your sister is. It's your sister's happy day. If you don't ask her to add some joy, you'll come here to add bad luck."

Ling Teng advised, "Mom, you think too much, it won't be unlucky. My sister and Qing sister are already in common relationships. The things belong to others, and they will give them to whoever they want."

Mrs. Ling Er said angrily, "That's a bowl of water."

Ling Teng smiled bitterly, "Stop talking about this. There has never been a sister who adds makeup to her sister. The little sister just wants to do that, why bother being angry about this? But my mother cleaned up the gifts given to my sister today, and brought her all the gifts she gave to her. She added two more dowry, so it would look good when she went out." It doesn't matter if you think about it, you must know that Zhao Changqing must be disgusted with Ling's third sister, otherwise, with Zhao Changqing's temper, there would be no reason to give anything.

Mrs. Ling Er was angry and could not really go to the Zhao family to question Zhao Changqing, so she had to comfort her daughter with countless good words. The mother and daughter sorted out the makeup gifts sent by their relatives. Seeing that the wealth was abundant, and with the dowry prepared by the family at the beginning, a total of thirty pieces were made. This prescription became happy again.

Ling also felt a little blamed for Zhao Changqing's empty hand, "You have always been a generous person. If your elder sister and second sister come out, you have given it all. Why did you leave your third sister alone and not give it to you? You asked someone to pick you up."

Zhao Changqing raised his eyebrows and said, "Sisters are the most annoying to her. I am the sister. I am the one who gives it to me. If I don't give it to me, no one will say that I am. Sisters are kind to me, so I naturally want to express my feelings. My third sister has been asking me for trouble since she was a child. Why do I have to give it to others for free? Even if I give it to me, she doesn't know what I am good about, so she just takes it for granted. Why should I be that sucker? Our family's money is not blown by the strong wind."

Ling sighed, "What's the point of your third sister? In the future, you each have a family in-laws. If you get married, you will walk more and those who can't get married, you will walk less and those who can't get married. I'm afraid that your uncle and aunt will think more."

Zhao Changqing brought a cup of tea to his mother and smiled, "My second uncle has always been a good old man with no temper, and his cousin is a smart person who knows the eloquence of Wen Xiange. What he thinks more is just his second aunt. As an aunt, she is a little sincere to her niece, so I am not afraid that she will think too much. I heard that Lord Zheng is going to be promoted to the prefect of Gansu." This sentence diverted Ling's attention.

Ling was surprised and happy, "That's a great thing. The prefect is a fourth-rank official, right? Lord Zheng has been promoted from the seventh-rank to the fourth-rank, and has been promoted from the third-rank, but it's amazing. I don't know when?"

"Li Zi said yesterday, and he also heard from others." Zhao Changqing said, "It's better to back up the gift and send it to him. I don't know when will Lord Zheng see you when he leaves."

Ling sighed, "Yes." He was filled with spirits again, "It is always a great joy to be promoted. Lord Zheng went to Gansu Prefecture to take office. It is difficult to send some heavy and difficult things to carry. It is expensive. Lord Zheng's temper is a clean official, but he may not accept it." This is another worry.

Zhao Changqing laughed, "There is no need to be too expensive. Just wait for my father to come back and say to him and ask him to go over and walk around." Zhao Yong was intercepted by his colleagues on the way home, and he didn't know what was going on.

"This is very true." Ling smiled, "Your news is faster than your father."
