The fifth princess is not old and has many gentlemen. Some teach her how to study and practice calligraphy, some teach her how to needle and thread, some teach her how to draw, some teach her how to play the flute, and Zhao Changqing teaches the fifth princess to make clay figures.

Although the fifth princess really wanted to learn how to use silver ingots to make flowers, but such skills could not be learned at once, but the clay man was soft and easy to pinch. The fifth princess first started to learn from the easy way, pinching a chicken, duck, and fish.

The fifth princess was young, but she had an anxious temper. Seeing that Zhao Changqing was pinching vividly, she pinched her ugly and stupid, she kept asking, "Zhao Anren, when can I be as good as you?"

Zhao Changqing liked the children very much and smiled and coaxed her, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I pinched a thousand pieces so well, and Your Highness only pinched the first one. When Your Highness pinched a thousand pieces, I will definitely be better than me."

"real?"

"Your Highness keeps all the clay figures. Let's compare them next month to see if they can pinch them better?"

The fifth princess was very good at understanding the truth. She thought about it and nodded, "Then I have to pack up a room alone to put my clay man."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I will teach you how to put it on. Your Highness will keep it in the order of the days, and put it together today. When we have new ones next time, we must open it separately from today's. There is a sequence, so that's better."

The fifth princess pinched her little hand carefully and asked, "An Ren, you said, why don't my brother learn to pinch clay men? Since he learned to study with a group of white-bearded old men, he has no time to play with me."

Zhao Changqing said, "When I was a child, my younger brother was always together when he was not studying. Later, he went to the clan to study. I studied with my husband at home, so I couldn't always be together."

The fifth princess asked, "Anren, do you have a gentleman, too?"

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Of course there is one. I learned from my teacher when I study and practice calligraphy."

"What is Mr. An Ren?" The fifth princess stretched out her neck to see the little duck that Miss Qi pinched, and said, "A Qi, you pinched it so beautifully, better than me."

Miss Qi smiled, "Your Highness, I am older than Your Highness."

The fifth princess pointed at another girl who was accompanying her and smiled happily, "Afang is not as good as me. Afang is older than me."

Miss Fang smiled silently.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Miss Fang was born into a general, so she must know a little martial arts."

The fifth princess said, "Afang is so strong, she can pick me up. Aqi is not as strong as Afang."

Zhao Changqing said, "That's it. In terms of strength, Miss Fang is the biggest, but Miss Fang is not as skillful as Your Highness. Miss Qi's strength is inferior to Miss Fang, and she can learn clay people faster than Miss Fang. It can be seen that everyone has advantages and everyone has shortcomings."

The fifth princess thought for a while and she said, "But, I am not as good as A Qi, and I am not as strong as A Fang in terms of strength."

Zhao Changqing laughed, "Your Highness must have something better than them."

The fifth princess thought about it and said distressedly, "It seems that there is no such thing as Anren."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "This matter is not urgent. Your Highness slowly thinks about it, and you will definitely think of it."

Zhao Changqing said to Mr. Su, "The Fifth Princess is extremely cute." Zhao Changqing would like such a round and cute child, even if he did not have the identity of His Royal Highness.

Zhao Changqing sighed, "I really don't know when I will be pregnant."

Mr. Su asked, "Didn't the Xia family urge you?" With Mrs. Xia's character, it's impossible to shut up on this matter.

Zhao Changqing quietly explained the reason to Mr. Su, and Mr. Su laughed, "It's a good thing that Awen has a good temper, so you can say that."

Zhao Changqing said, "This has nothing to do with a good temper. We all use medical principles. Do you blame women if you are not pregnant? The gentleman has taken my pulse and I have no health problems."

Mr. Su said, "Maybe the fate has not come."

Zhao Changqing longed for, "I want to have a daughter, and I will raise her so well. I will not let her suffer any grievances."

Mr. Su smiled and said, "There is something I thought about and thought about it, but I still want to tell you."

"What's the matter?" The gentleman was so serious.

Mr. Su pursed his lips slightly and said, "I went to Tianqi Temple the day before yesterday and met an old friend. Do you still remember it? That Mr. Ouyang, Ouyang Qingfeng. He is now in the imperial capital."

Zhao Changqing's expression changed slightly, and after a long time, he said, "Oh."

Zhao Changqing said, "I remember Mr. Ouyang had a good piano, which was made by him by the fifteenth prince of the Shu Palace. That piano was made by the winter solstice, which was called the winter solstice. Thinking about it now, it is far less good than Mr. Double Ninth Festival."

Mr. Su said, “That’s natural.”

There was a hint of redness in Zhao Changqing's eyes and his voice was calm, "I don't really want to see Mr. Ouyang."

"Then don't go to see you," said Mr. Su, "I'll go and tell him not to disturb you."

"Okay." Zhao Changqing said, "I came here to tell the gentleman that the twelve months next month is the birthday of our old lady. I don't plan to do it at home. Even the relatives and friends I know are lively. There is nothing wrong with the gentleman at home, so don't forget to go there."

Mr. Su said warmly, "Okay."

Zhao Changqing said a few more words and said goodbye.

Zhao Changqing went home and received a post from Zheng Miaoying, asking her to go to Xishan to warm her house. Zheng Miaoying bought a small villa in Xishan, because she lived in the mountains in summer, which was cool and quiet. She had just finished cleaning up and asked Zhao Changqing to warm her house.

Lord Zheng is a selfless and dedicated person who serves the public and the people. The salary of third-rank officials is not low, but the Zheng family has no money because Lord Zheng always donates money other than life. However, the brother and sister Zheng Miaojia and Zheng Miaoying have completely different attitudes to life than their father. They are not extravagant, but they are not as hard as their father.

Zheng Miaoying has some money in her hands, so she won’t feel wronged.

Zhao Changqing and Zheng Miaoying also bought some land, but not much, only a dozen acres of small villages, which were cheaper to eat at home.

After reading the post, Zhao Changqing smiled and told Hong'er, "You go to Zheng's house and tell Sister Zheng that I will definitely go."

Hong'er took the order and Zhao Changqing asked Yongfu, "Is there anything wrong with the family?"

Yongfu said, "Miss Yang sent someone to bring his wife a pair of shoes, but he didn't come. Also, the lady went to Shaoqing's mansion and came back early. She sighed for half a day and said that something happened in Shaoqing's mansion."

Zhao Changqing said, "What's the matter with Shaoqing's Mansion?" Aunt Xia, for some reason, was very close to Xia Gongren and often went to Shaoqing's Mansion.

Yongfu said, "I heard that it was the matter of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion. I don't know what happened, but my aunt didn't know."

Xia Gongren's eldest daughter married the Marquis of Yong'an, and Xia Gongren was quite proud of this. Zhao Changqing knew about these things. It seemed that it was indeed the matter of the Marquis of Yong'an. Zhao Changqing nodded and did not ask again.

After hearing the latest news, Aunt Xia came back, but she couldn't stop talking and kept saying to Old Lady Xia, "Mom, what do you think can be? The face of the clan sister-in-law changed color after brushing. She told me that if there is something wrong at home, I had to come out. I thought it must be a big deal."

Old Mrs. Xia said, "Inquiry about what others are doing. Don't always go out and do some serious things."

Aunt Xia pinched a few rose-flavored sunflower seeds and ate them and spit out the melon seed shells, saying, "What can you do at home? If you don't take charge of the family, you will just live one day."

Old Mrs. Xia said, "I heard that Brother Wen's daughter-in-law bought land."

As soon as he talked about this, Aunt Xia immediately became interested, narrowed her eyes and whispered, "No, it's enough for ten acres of land! Oh my god, the land price in the imperial capital is not the land price in our Qingcheng, which costs several thousand silvers. Mother, how rich is the niece-in-law!"

Old Mrs. Xia sighed, "I don't have to worry about their life. Seeing that Sister Lian is getting bigger and bigger every day, Brother Wen and the others don't have to worry about me. I still have some old money here. Sister Lian is settled for her. I will add a few more to her and let her marry decently."

Aunt Xia was overjoyed and worried, and said, "Mom just thinks I'm not in a hurry. This must be done with a suitable family."

Old Mrs. Xia said, "It's better to call the official media and ask if there is a suitable family."

Aunt Xia stopped talking. Old Mrs. Xia knew her eldest daughter's temper best and said, "Or, do you have other ideas?"

Aunt Xia whispered, "I dare not stoke my sister's family. I am the daughter of Sister Lian. I have to rely on her for the rest of my life. If someone who doesn't know the roots, I can't feel at ease after marrying me."

Old Mrs. Xia didn't understand the meaning of the eldest daughter for a moment and advised her, "We are not in the imperial capital, as if we were in Qingcheng, so it is not easy to find someone who knows the roots. If the matchmaker mentioned which one, and asked Wen Ge'er's father to go and inquire carefully, it would be the same."

In front of me, there is no need to cover it up. Aunt Xia simply said bluntly, "There is a marriage in front of me, and I don't know if my sister-in-law wants it."

Old Mrs. Xia's eyebrows moved, "Are you talking about Brother Wu?"

Aunt Xia said, "Their cousin, when they grow up together, Brother Wu is a step smaller than Sister Lian. When Sister Lian married someone else, I can't live in the in-laws. I'm used to living with my elder brother and sister-in-law, but I still have a comfortable relationship with my family. I don't have to worry about Sister Lian being wronged. Besides, Sister Lian looks good, and I ask myself that my daughter can afford to show off her nephew." The key is that Xia Wen and Zhao Changqing cannot give birth to children in this long house, and in the future, they will definitely be adopted. The first choice for adoption is Xia Wu's house. With Zhao Changqing's wealth of family business, they will not be all her daughters in the future. Aunt Xia has been thinking too much, but because of face, she has never had the chance to speak.

Old Mrs. Xia reminded her daughter, "Go to kiss, this marriage can be done."

Aunt Xia laughed, "I have a clear idea of ​​saying this to me. No matter what else, I think about it, now it is not like when I was apart, and I have never had children in the family. This is not the norm. As the second son, Awu should have had a branch and a leaf sooner."

Old Mrs. Xia smiled and glanced at her eldest daughter, and spat lightly, "Everyone in this world has made up for you." Yes, Zhao Changqing has many private houses, and the eldest house always needs a descendant. Since Changsun is inappropriate and adopts an inheritance in the future, it is better to be cheaper than to be a foreigner. In this way, Old Mrs. Xia is not worried about Xia Wu's house, and can also solve the marriage of her granddaughter together. It is really a good idea to not let the outsiders go to the outsiders' fields.

Aunt Xia said angrily, "What are you talking about? I thought of this when my children are really compatible."

Old Mrs. Xia said, "This matter is not urgent. When I look for an opportunity, I will first find out your elder brother's words."

Aunt Xia smiled, "Sister Lian relies on her mother to make the decision."

Old Mrs. Xia took this matter in her heart, discussed it secretly with her eldest daughter for a long time, and told Aunt Xia not to leave and reveal the news. It was related to her daughter's lifelong life, and Aunt Xia responded.

Since she had such a plan, Mrs. Xia had always been an action-oriented person, saying, "I didn't buy some peaches in the morning, but I'm fine. Take some for your sister-in-law and ask your sister-in-law to try it."

Aunt Xia muttered, "The marriage has not yet been completed, so I will shorten my sister-in-law first."

Old Mrs. Xia said, "I also told Sister Lian to send some to her cousin's wife. If you two are so hard, don't mention anything. Don't think about which daughter-in-law doesn't set rules for her mother-in-law. If you want Sister Lian to enjoy her future, you have to lower your head today." Zhao Changqing is not stupid, and if she doesn't coax her first, would she give you money for nothing? Isn't this a daydream!

Aunt Xia smiled, "I just said that my mother took it seriously. I wonder if my niece-in-law is back?"

Old Mrs. Xia said, "Do you want to send some to me?"

"I see."

Zhao Changqing was reading a book in the room, and when he heard the maid report that Zhao Lian was coming to deliver fruits. Zhao Changqing was slightly surprised and ordered someone to invite Zhao Lian in. Zhao Lian was not close to Zhao Changqing. She was actually a little afraid of Zhao Changqing. Those domineering people who had been a child since childhood could not be used by Zhao Changqing at all. Moreover, these days, Zhao Lian learned a little about the rules and etiquette with the female husband these days. Although she didn't like Zhao Changqing, she was still able to live up to her face and said in a slight voice, "My grandmother sent me to send some peaches to my cousin's wife, saying that they were peaches from Zhili, which were very sweet. Please try it."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Just tell the maid to send it. This hot day makes my cousin warm."

Yongfu brought herbal tea, Zhao Lian bowed to answer, laughing, "I'm idle and it's nothing to walk around, and I'm worried that my cousin's wife will not be at home."

Zhao Changqing said, "I just came back."

The two said something neither salty nor light, and after a while, Zhao Lian said goodbye.

Zhao Changqing ordered Yongfu to send her out.

However, Hong'er came back and brought back fresh news. In the Great Heat, Hong'er was willing to run around. She wiped her sweat slightly and said with a smile, "Miss Zheng said that she only invited grandma and Mr. Su. In the world, there were old lady Zheng. Mrs. Zheng went there, not outsiders, and they were lively. I passed by Qian's shop and thought that his plum soup was counted in the emperor. Grandma had praised the taste of it, so she bought some. Should grandma try a bowl?"

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Pour a few more bowls and you all try them. Then send some to the old lady and the wife." He can also cook black plum soup in his own kitchen, but it is not as good as the other shop.

The maids went to Zhang Luo Mei Tang, and Hong'er also held a cup to drink, and said with a smile, "I have good luck today, but I encountered something very new. I came back after asking for it."

Zhao Changqing laughed, "Tell me quickly."
