Zhao Changqing burned a lot of clothes and paper money for the Chu family, paid for the enjoyment, and said a lot of words to Chu Yu in a nagging manner. He waited until the evening and told the old man who was looking at the house before leaving.

I went home to meet Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Zhao laughed, "Why did you come back late?"

Zhao Changqing smiled, "The shop is not big, but there are many things. I always have to look at it from time to time, so that the people under me will be careful when doing things. Otherwise, if I can't see it at first, I will be lazy and slippery. When I came back, I felt that it was cold and my grandmother should change to a thicker cotton coat."

Old Mrs. Zhao smiled, "It's colder at night, it's okay during the day, it's okay to change it in a few days."

Zhao Changqing ordered his maid Cui'er, "Prepare the old lady's thick cotton clothes in advance, take them out and dry them more when the weather is good, and dry them frequently. Don't talk about it warmth, and you will also be soft when you fall asleep."

Cui'er smiled, "No need to say that the old lady has taken out all the old lady's thick cotton clothes and has been sunburned. The old lady is now impatient to change into thick cotton. I have found two small sweaters to come out. If the day is not good or in the evening, I will serve the old lady to put it on."

Zhao Changqing nodded with a smile and said to his grandmother, "Cuier is the most secure and meticulous girl."

"Yes." Old Mrs. Zhao asked with a smile, "Have you eaten tonight?"

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I'm not hungry after using snacks."

"The snacks are worth the meal. I have left some food under the kitchen and eat some before sleeping." After Zhao Changqing responded, the old lady Zhao smiled, "Go and see your mother, she cares about you too."

Zhao Changqing went to Ling's house again, and Ling took her to sit beside her and said, "Didn't you take a day off in the shop? Your aunt is here today and you won't see you. Where have you been?"

Zhao Changqing said, "The medicine shop is on the pharmacy for a day, and the rouge shop is on the vermicelli. I discussed something with Sister Lin. Is there something wrong with my aunt?"

Ling smiled, "It's the fourth sister's dowry."

"Didn't the day be set on the eighth day of the eighth month? It's coming soon. Could it be that the dowry has not been fully prepared?" Zhao Changqing asked.

Ling smiled, "There are all other things, and ordinary things are easy to buy in advance, just rouge powder, which is not easy to buy in advance. Your aunt heard that the shop is very good and wants to buy a few boxes of good rouge powder from you."

Zhao Changqing asked, "There are many kinds of rouge powder. The same color is not less than ten. There are also various flavor powders, flower oil, mouth fat, facial fat, flower water, and a hundred samples. Moreover, I don't sell that bargain, so how can my aunt be willing to spend money?"

Ling said hurriedly, "Your aunt is a real relative of our family, so you want to give her some cheaper."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I know, so I will scare my eldest aunt. When will the fourth sister want it? I will ask her to go to the shop to find me. I will take her over and pick some."

Ling smiled, "Sad, I'll send someone a letter to your aunt tomorrow." He asked again, "Have you had dinner?"

Zhao Changqing said, "I used some snacks and didn't feel hungry."

"How does the snack work? Others will gain weight when they fall into autumn. You will lose weight. I ask the kitchen to keep mutton soup for you. It's cold, so drink two more bowls." Ling reminded him and asked Zhao Changqing to go back to the house to rest.

Zhao Changqing had no appetite, so Yongfu served her and went to the big clothes outside and advised, "Old lady, the lady cares about the girl, she doesn't eat any other girls, and calls the old lady. If the lady knows, she will not be relieved. I will go to the kitchen and take a look. There are some light side dishes and ask them to bring some of them."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "You run around with me every day, and you will have a meal like this."

Yongfu smiled and said, "What's the matter with the girl? It's my blessing to be able to serve with her. No one in the house envies me. The snacks I brought today were originally prepared for the girl to eat. If the girl didn't eat them, she asked me to eat a lot and she would be hungry."

The maid Hong'er brought the tea in and smiled, "It's late, girl, don't drink Longjing, or it will be bad if you lose your sleep at night. This is the red date and longan tea, girl taste it?" Lu'er was not strict in front of her, and Zhao Changqing sent her away. This Hong'er was selected from the village. However, she was eleven or twelve years old, and she was diligent and smart, so she became a little maid in Zhao Changqing's house. Hong'er smiled, "Sister Fu, take a break, I will go to the kitchen and go to the kitchen for a trip."

Zhao Changqing said, "After the meal, I have to beg for soup and eat. I will work for them and give them five hundred dollars to reward them." Because Zhao Liangdong and Xia Wen's food in the pharmacy are cooked together under the kitchen, Zhao Changqing often rewards them.

Hong'erqing responded crisply and went busy.

Zhao Changqing is the eldest daughter. She is capable and has generous hands. No servants and maids in the yard don’t flatter her, and even the maids in her room are particularly handsome. The person in charge of the kitchen is Sister Liu. When she saw Hong'er, she smiled, “Miss Hong is here, but is the eldest girl back?”

Hong'er smiled, "Sister-in-law hasn't stopped yet?"

Sister Liu laughed, "I thought the eldest girl didn't come back to eat in the evening, so the old lady and the wife ordered the eldest girl to leave food, waiting for the order." As she said that, Hong'er asked her to take a look at the food left on the steamer, and saw that it was the same as meat, tofu, chickens stewed mushrooms, and duck cubes, and the soup was mutton soup.

Hong'er smiled, "Miss said that you were still in the kitchen and you were still supporting yourself in the evening, and you were rewarded with wine." Then she gave half of the money to Sister Liu.

Sister Liu hurriedly took it with her hands and said with a smile, "It's our duty, thank you for the great girl." The whole mansion knew that Zhao Changqing was generous and kind to others. Therefore, Sister Liu knew that she was coming back late and waited under the kitchen. She said, "Miss Hong, look, these are appropriate. If there is anything wrong, Miss Hong just said that the stove is hot and all kinds of ingredients are complete, and I can make it now."

Hong'er smiled, "These are all good, but I see that the girl has no appetite when she comes back. There is fresh spinach under the kitchen. If there is, it's better for Sister Liu to add another spinach and hibiscus soup. Don't add oil to the hot pan. When the soup is ready, add a few drops of grinding oil and add a pinch of salt to season it."

Sister Liu and the two mothers were busy doing it.

When Zhao Changqing saw this spinach hibiscus soup, green vegetables, tender yellow egg flowers, and a scent of fragrance, he really had a big appetite and smiled, "I felt that I was not hungry at first, but I was hungry when I saw this soup."

Yongfu smiled, "If the soup was left in advance, there would be no color, it would be made by the girl Hong'er named Sister Liu."

Hong'er helped to set the food on the table and smiled, "Old lady, the wife has ordered to keep the food, and Sister Liu is waiting under the kitchen. I just heard from Sister Fu that the girl has no big meal during the day, and she can't accept it even if she eats too greasy stomach, so she asked Sister Liu to make this soup. The vegetables are picked in the vegetable field outside the kitchen, and they are very fresh." Hong'er wanted to say that Zhao Changqing was so generous to his servants and had rewards from time to time. All the servants in the house were looking forward to calling Zhao Changqing to order him. Not to mention asking Sister Liu to make a new soup, she would be very happy even if she asked her to cook four dishes and one soup again.

Zhao Changqing said, "I can't eat these many dishes alone, so you can eat them with me." The Zhao family has just been developed for a few years, and the rules are not too strict.

Hong'er smiled, "I have eaten in the evening and am not hungry. Sister Fu is sitting down quickly, I will serve my sister."

Yongfu is the big girl, and Hong'er naturally has to be the leader of her later. Because Hong'er is smart and likable, Yongfu likes her very much, and smiled, "Don't joke with me, it's serious to serve the girl." After thanking her, she sat down.

Hong'er is not as shallow as Lu'er, who was the first to be the first. Since she replaced Lu'er's seat, Yihua often gave her some small things to buy her. Hong'er had to show her things to Yongfu first. If Yihua asked her what happened, she would learn from Changqing. Sometimes, she would say innocently, "Sister Yihua, why do you always ask about the big girl? Do you also want to serve us big girl?" Yihua asked with embarrassment. The key point was that she not only did this in private, but she just said to everyone, "Sister Yihua always asked about the big girl about me. She must have wanted to serve us girl. It's really strange. Is the second girl not good to her? She is not very good to her."

Even Ling heard the news and said to Zhao Rong privately, "What's going on with Yihua in your house? You always ask your sister what's doing in your house? Did you ask her to inquire?" The family business is booming and the family's population is increasing. Ling has been taught by Mrs. Zhao, so she naturally pays great attention to the affairs of her family. What's more, how many years have passed for Lu'er in the first place? Ling has no Alzheimer's disease.

Zhao Rong hurriedly said, "Their little maids are not careful when they speak. My sister is at home every day. I will ask my sister directly if I have any questions. Even if I ask, I also ask Yongfu. What do young maids like Honger know? There is someone who doesn't care about Yihua, so how could I ask about my sister specifically?"

"It's better not to ask her to keep more careful with you in the future. Don't ask her if she has something to do or not. Just be serious if she serves you well. You know your sister's temper. When is your sister so unstable, when your sister is annoyed and sent her down? What's your face?" Ling said, "Yihua is old and finds a kid for her in two years to marry her. Don't always rely on her and lift the little maid up. When she leaves, she won't be able to serve her carefully."

Zhao Rong responded in a low voice and coaxed Ling's countless good words.

Yihua knew about this and wanted to eat Hong'er.

Hong'er is still fine. Zhao Changqing naturally likes her cleverness. Even Yongfu said, "This time, Madam Bai has some vision and has chosen Hong'er to use her."

Zhao Changqing said that Zhao Rong was just too careful, and she was just using these secret methods, and she would never be able to get into a big platform. For example, Zhao Rong gave all her private houses to Ling. This certainly made Ling happy, but now Zhao Rong is also a girl in the thirteenth and fourteen years old. As she grows older, wouldn’t she have to use her own money? Not to mention that the number of people in her family is growing, and those servants and maids are not loyal and honest? Even if the Zhao family has a simple population, they are all brothers and sisters, but they are all divided into high and low levels among the servants. Zhao Changqing rewards a lot, so these people naturally rely on them without her helping them. Some things don’t need Zhao.

Changqing asked, someone told Yongfu, and Hong'er that Zhao Rong gave all her private houses to Ling. If she wanted to be a good person, what would she do? She was kind to her servants, and Zhao Changqing was not the one who was not kind to her; she would say something worthless, and Zhao Changqing had no time to tell her servants this, but the servants who followed her were obviously more promising. Conspiracy and conspiracy are everything. Zhao Changqing had several businesses outside, and she had a lot of money in her hands. Hong'er, a little maid, was not worse than a big maid like Yihua. Others were jealous, and they were all rewarded by Zhao Changqing in private. Zhao Rong also wanted to give the money casually, but unfortunately she gave the money to Ling.

Zhao Changqing had already figured it out. She wouldn't put Zhao Rong as an opponent. Zhao Rong might be unwilling to accept, jealous, despised, noble, and fearless. In this life, she has long lived a better life than Zhao Rong!

The next day, Zhao Changqing still went to the shop for a medical treatment. However, Mrs. Ling got the accurate letter from Ling, and brought Ling Sijie to Zhao Changqing that afternoon.

Zhao Changqing gave Xia Wen the matter about the medicine shop, called Ling Erjie, and went to the Rouge Shop with Mrs. Ling and Ling Fourth Sister.

There are three spacious rooms on Paifang Street, not to mention the decoration inside, the rosewood carved counter, the large-scale glass on the counter, and the walls are inlaid with huge mirrors. People will be dressed clearly in the future, and even the girls selling rouge and water powder are dressed cleanly and beautifully.

Grandma Ling and Sister Ling are all in a new style, but they are still a little cramped when they arrive at Rouge Shop. The shopkeeper of Rouge Shop is a woman, surnamed Cao, and Zhao Changqing calls her Miss Cao. When Miss Cao saw Zhao Changqing, she smiled and greeted her, "Miss Qing, why are you here for free?" She recognized Ling Erjie and said with a smile to Ling Erjie.

Zhao Changqing smiled and introduced Mrs. Ling Sijie to Shopkeeper Cao, and said, "My sister's good days are approaching, so come and pick some rouge powder for her." The group went to the inner room to talk.

Manager Cao first said goodbye to Mrs. Ling Sijie. A maid served tea and drank the tea. Manager Cao asked with a smile, "I wonder what makeup the fourth girl likes on weekdays?"

Sister Ling Si said, "Rouge is usually made of rosy, and the same is true for mouth fat. The rest is just a little brow and brow. I don't like to apply a big white face like others. In the past, I felt that I was not good at dressing up, but when I saw you, I felt that I was far from being apart."

Manager Cao smiled, "We are here to eat, and we think about these things every day, so we understand a little bit. Why not do this? The girl comes out and check it out, I will introduce it to the girl, and then serve the girl and choose something suitable for the girl."

Sister Ling Si glanced at Mrs. Ling and said, "Okay, I'll bother you."

Manager Cao laughed, "My duty is my responsibility."

Seeing that Mrs. Ling was a little worried, Zhao Changqing smiled and said, "It's okay for my aunt to accompany the fourth sister to take a look, it's not an outside."

Mrs. Ling whispered, "Changqing, I think you are very particular here. You're okay to walk around casually."

"What's wrong with this?" He ordered Yongfu, "Take your aunt over there."

Yongfu took Mrs. Ling to the lobby. Sister Ling took the account book of the rouge shop to show Zhao Changqing. It was time to wait until the evening was approaching, and Mrs. Ling and Sister Ling came in. Boss Lin once said that women are almost the same as they look, and beauty and ugliness are mostly made by dressing up. Sister Ling is just pretty in appearance, but when she dresses up with rouge and water powder, she immediately becomes a pretty little beauties. Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's so beautiful."

Sister Ling Si was slightly embarrassed, "Sister Qing is here to joke with me too."

Zhao Changqing measured her for a moment, cut off a pink camellia that was as big as a bowl on the table, took off the small plum blossom hairpin between Ling Sijie's hair, and put a camellia on it. Manager Cao smiled, "This is even more beautiful. Miss Qing is really good."

"You should stop flattering me." Zhao Changqing asked with a smile, "What have the fourth sisters picked?"

Manager Cao told Zhao Changqing, and Zhao Changqing said, "Why are there only one box of rouge and one mouth fat?"

Sister Ling Si has always been a generous person and smiled, "I often hear people talk about my sister's reputation. I want to come and see it. Just buy a combo, where can I buy a lot?" She knew that the things in Zhao Changqing's shop were expensive, but they were just girls' homes. Which one doesn't love beauty? She just wanted to use it, even if it was a good one.

Zhao Changqing smiled and said to Shopkeeper Cao, "Look at giving the fourth sister a set." Shopkeeper Cao smiled and smiled. Zhao Changqing patted Ling Sijie's hand, "Don't worry, you're about getting up, so these rouge powder are just to add makeup to you. Just leave my account. Even if you really want money, you don't have to worry about the fourth sister. I'll go to my aunt to ask for it."

Mrs. Ling laughed, "Sister Qing is sincere. Who are you sisters? Don't be fooled by others."

Sister Ling smiled and thanked Zhao Changqing.

Because it was late, Mrs. Ling wanted to ask Zhao Changqing's house to have dinner, but Zhao Changqing politely refused. After saying a few words, Ling Erjie went home with her mother and sister. Ling Sijie held a box of rouge and powder in the car and looked at it, and sighed, "This box is also exquisitely carved. Second sister, Sister Qing has made a lot of money for me?"

Ling Erjie nodded, "There is always a hundred and ten taels."

Sister Ling Si almost didn't throw the rouge, and was shocked, "It's so expensive."

Ling Erjie said, "The things are good, of course they are expensive. Don't think too much, sister will give it to you only if she treats you well."

Sister Ling Si pinched the rouge box and said, "As he said that, Sister Qing is generous, we shouldn't take advantage of it. If you know that it's so expensive, I really shouldn't have come."

Ling Erjie smiled, "You are sensible, so Changqing treats you differently. Don't worry, you are in a good time. If you weren't for getting married, Changqing wouldn't have given you any more. Otherwise, we sisters would have been so many, and we can't afford to give her a gift. You'll be happy to accept it, otherwise it would have been in vain for her."

Mrs. Ling smiled, "Yes, just let it go. In the future, the sisters will be more harmonious, and it will be more useless to treat your heart."

Sister Ling nodded and said, "Sister Qing is really a big prospect." As she said that, she looked at Sister Ling, and Sister Ling enviously said, "It's Sister Second, who is so decent in the rouge shop. I feel like a country bumpkin when I go in, and I don't dare to say anything. Sister Second, she is so comfortable inside, and it can be seen that she has seen the world more than me."

Ling Erjie smiled, "I occasionally go to work inside, what is the world?"

"Sister Qing now has to go to the clinic to see a doctor, and he is also working. If he doesn't work, how can he get money?" Ling Si said to his mother, "My mother looks at her second sister. She is now slim and doesn't speak, and her words and actions are not comparable to those before. If I hadn't been getting married now, I would have found a job with Sister Qing, which is better than being stuck at home."

Mrs. Ling sighed, "It's enough to have your second sister tell me to worry. Come on, don't come, and get married to me honestly!"

Both sisters laughed.

Ling Sijie's marriage was lively and her husband's family was quite rich. Because Ling's uncle got married, he also accompanied him more because he was the youngest daughter. After Ling Sijie's marriage, he lived in the imperial capital for a long time on the tenth day of August. Uncle Zhu, who was appointed as the Minister of Revenue, returned to his long-distance hometown, Border Town.

Uncle Zhu did not come back alone, but took his wife and grandson back to the border town.

Because his son was about to come back, Mrs. Zhu asked someone to invite Mr. Zhu back from a separate courtyard. The mother and son had not seen each other for many years, so they cried and talked. Mr. Zhu was most disgusted with this. He touched the neat and beautiful beard on his lips and said, "Look at the boss's beard, it looks like I am your father, but you are my father."

Mr. Zhu said, Mrs. Zhu and uncle Zhu's sadness and joy immediately disappeared. The mother and son slapped the corners of their lips. Uncle Zhu Liu touched the forehead and asked, "Is the road going smoothly?"
