Chapter 28

When it comes to family division, wealthy families pay attention to the fact that as long as the elderly are mostly not divided.

However, this kind of restriction is not obvious in the homes of ordinary people.

However, in the Ling family, which claims to be a scholarly family, Grandpa Ling and Old Lady Ling may feel very uncomfortable. In addition to Uncle Ling's family, Uncle Ling and Mrs. Ling also have cold and sad faces.

Although I don’t want to admit it, I just looked at the stinky face of Grandpa Ling, Ling’s second uncle, who seemed to have just crawled out of the pit, and I felt that it was unreasonable for the father and son to achieve nothing. In contrast, the gentle and quiet Ling Teng is even more commendable.

The Ling family does not have many industries. A small farmhouse is 200 acres of land and a shop sells some groceries. It is divided into three parts. Master Ling and the old lady, one long house, one second house, one second house. If the second house moves out, you will definitely buy another house, which will be sold into silver, and then you will be able to replenish the second house with dozens of taels.

This way of separation is the most fair.

As a result, Grandpa Ling actually made a weird statement, "According to four portions, there should be one for Brother Teng."

The second uncle Ling's face immediately felt uncontrollable and looked at his son naturally.

Fortunately, he was probably the only one in the house who was happy. Zhao Yong was just here to testify and didn't speak. The clan elder who was in charge of the separation was stunned. What is the method of separation? Ling Teng was originally the son of the second wife, so how could he take it alone to calculate a part? Mrs. Ling's brother Xu Dafu smiled and said, "If the in-laws love grandson, he just needs to use private subsidies, and no one will say anything. Just take out Brother Teng to take one, wouldn't he ask the child to bear the reputation of competing for birth with his uncle, or would he make the child embarrassed." As he said that, he glanced at Ling Teng.

Ling Teng didn't realize anything on his face. He had neither the surprise of his father nor the ridicule of great blessings, nor the head was confused like the clan elders. He directly advised his grandfather in a gentle voice, "I know my grandfather prefers me. Now there is a little birth in the family. My uncle and his father are both the sons of his grandfather. Think about it, the uncle's family has three sisters to raise, and my father only has me and my sister. Moreover, the eldest sister will be ten years old next year, so you must prepare for the dowry and other things when you get married. I am a brother, so I should have

Take care of my sisters. How can we fight for the family's property now based on our grandfather's preference? Men should be self-reliant. If I have a promising prospect, I will always have a promising prospect, and it is not bad. If my grandfather is biased against me, I am afraid that I will not be able to manage it in the future. Now that the separation of the family is imminent, I feel that although the family is divided, my bloodline is constant. My father is only a brother, a brother, and it is better to have a family relationship. In the future, we must always come and go and watch over each other to help each other. "

These things should have been said by Grand Master Ling, but the child asked him to say them. Not only did he feel embarrassed, but he looked moved and red with his eyes. He hugged his grandson and said repeatedly, "Everyone said I am partial. Look, how sensible this child is."

Originally, Xu Dafu and Zhao Yong, who had originally thought that Ling Teng was sensible, all called Grandpa Ling to make a fuss and didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Grandpa Ling is a weird guy, who is willing to listen to his grandson, and sighed, "Since A Teng doesn't want it, let's divide it into three parts."

Ling Teng sighed in his heart and said seriously, "Grandfather, I should have divided it into three parts."

The separation was actually very smooth. The strange-minded Mr. Ling solved the problem. He then divided the 200 acres of land into two, took up one of the grocery stores, and then grabbed each other.

Men split up in the main hall, and women talked in the old lady's room. Because this matter was caused directly or indirectly by Zhao Changqing, even Mrs. Ling was careless to her, and Mrs. Ling was too lazy to pay attention to her. Therefore, Zhao Changqing simply said nothing and just focused on having snacks with Sister Ling, Sister Ling, and Sister Ling. After lunch, Zhao Changqing sat for a while and went back with her parents.

After Zhao Yong returned home, he praised, "Brother Teng is such a good child." He said the words of Ling Teng to persuade his grandfather. He thought to himself that his daughter said that his grandfather had no knowledge was really good at all!

Ling sighed, "My father has been studying for many years, and the worldly ways are almost the same."

This is definitely not a matter of human relationships. Zhao Changqing couldn't say that Grandpa Ling had a problem with his mind, so he talked about Ling Teng and said, "Dad, this only says that Cousin Teng is a sensible person. Look at Cousin Teng, it's because grandfather is too confused."

Ling Chi scolded slightly, "You child, you are not allowed to say that to your grandfather."

"Today, in addition to dad, there are outsiders who see this. If we don't talk about it, outsiders will also talk about it." Zhao Changqing took the tea from the white woman, gave it to his father a cup of warmth and a cup of hotness to his mother. Zhao Changqing said, "Mother, haven't you noticed that my second aunt is so cold to me."

"That's because your second aunt is in a bad mood. You don't have to pick on everything."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Mother doesn't have to comfort me. Mother think about it, when my grandmother came over that day, she was talking and laughing with me when I was having dinner with her grandmother, and she was also indifferent to me today. Could it be that she pretended to be talking and laughing that day? This means that my grandmother herself didn't think about me. As a result, someone said my fault was wrong, and my grandmother felt that it was my fault that caused the eldest aunt to split up. She blamed me in her heart and was cold to me. In fact, there was something wrong with me, just saying a few truths. Besides, if my third cousin didn't provoke me, I wouldn't bother to say this. My second aunt didn't trace the roots and said that my third cousin was wrong, but instead took her anger on me and asked me to push the third cousin's jam. Otherwise, why wouldn't the third cousin show her face today?"

"Mother, look, the old lady went to tell the Zhu family's ancestors in person. Mother treats the third cousin like a biological daughter. He always advises us to be good in front of me. How could he say a bad thing about the third cousin? Now it's different from the inside and outside!" Don't say that she didn't say it on purpose, even if she said it on purpose, she was only a few years old! Really, she actually took such anger at a baby? Zhao Changqing sneered in his heart. It seems that the Ling family is still like this. If there is a mistake, it is bad for others. If there is a good one, they all belong to their own home.

After Zhao Changqing said that, he teased Zhao Changning again and went to the old lady's house.

It is great to have a smart daughter who is sensible and can help with worries on weekdays. But it is difficult to fool her daughter because she is too smart. Ling sighed and said to her husband, "The father and mother are really unhappy to separate. Until now, it is normal for the two old men to be in a bad mood. Changqing is a baby, who would really be angry with her?"

Zhao Yong gave his wife a lot of face and didn't say much, but just sighed. Ling whispered, "It's enough for us to say this. Changqing is our own daughter. No matter how close I am to my niece, I can't kiss my daughter. After all, my mother and second sister-in-law are Changqing's elders. Changqing has always been smart and can think so much. We can't help her to be in a relationship with the outside world. As close as the elder brother and the second brother can make trouble to this point. There is no less friction between relatives, and I understand it in my heart."

"That's the reason." Zhao Yong laughed, "If you have time to enlighten Changqing, don't tell her little man that something is wrong in his heart."

"I can't know this." Ling looked at her son on the kang with a smile. "Sometimes I think that the dream I had before Shengchangqing was obviously a girl, but she dreamed of a big tree that was straight up to the sky. I remember that the tree was so tall that it was so high that it was so high that it was so high that it was all over the sky. She had been smart and capable since she was a child, and maybe she had great luck in the future."

"Anyway, it's a good dream. What do you want to do so much? As long as your children are safe, our family will be very good now."

Ling also felt that life was enjoyable and laughed, "It was because it was a good dream that I was happy to think about it."

A few days later, Zhao Changqing went to the General's Mansion again.

Chu Yue asked Zhao Changqing, "Sister Qing, did your mother give birth to a pair of twins for you?"

"Yes, the full moon wine was only last month."

“Is it beautiful?”

"It looks pretty good. My brother looks like me, and my sister doesn't look like me. They don't look as much like Sister Chu and Brother Chu."

Chu Yue smiled and said, "You went to the temple to ask for divination after spending the New Year with your father. Are you just asking your brother and sister?"

Zhao Changqing said honestly, "My sister always cried when she was born. It was not good to invite the doctor to see her, so her father took me to the temple to ask the master. The master gave me a talisman and said that he would not see a man from another surname within a year. After a year, he would be fine. That day, the master even named my brother. Sister Chu also went there. Is that master very effective?"

Chu Yue took a bite of the snack brought by Zhao Changqing and said, "It looks like a monk with a Taoist practice. However, the great monk has rules. He only counts three hexagrams a day, and two hexagrams are left for your family. I left one hexagram. I originally wanted to calculate, but Chu Yu wanted to compete with me again. I haven't competed for him, so I'll have a trip in vain!"

Zhao Changqing smiled, "If you want to calculate, just go to Ping'an Temple again. It's not far away."

"I've been there." Chu Yue was depressed, "As a result, the master said he was out of Guan Yunyou and had already left. Although Master Xingyuan was also very spiritual. I didn't ask the monk to calculate it after two times, and now I have no intention of calculating it."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Sister and Brother Chu are twins of dragons and phoenixes. They were born at the same time, and probably had a similar fate."

"How is this the same? A slight mistake can lead to a thousand miles of losses. Chu Yu will make achievements in the future, how can I succeed?" Chu Yue sighed.

Zhao Changqing joked, "What does sister want to be considered? Could it be that marriage?"

Chu Yue burst into laughter and pinched her round face, "You are young and still know what marriage is? Don't talk nonsense."

The two of them talked for half a day. At noon, Chu Yu came home and saw Zhao Changqing and joked, "Oh, the beautiful sister Qing is here, do you miss your brother?"

Zhao Changqing laughed, "Brother Chu is the worst, and he always laughs at me."

Chu Yu sat beside Chu Yue casually, holding a erotic horse whip in his hand, and teasing her with a smile, "It's not a joke about you, you're dressing up very well today."

Zhao Changqing blinked in a pretentious manner, "Is that right? I looked in the mirror for a long time when I went out."

Chu Yu laughed loudly.

Zhu'er brought incense tea. Chu Yu let go of the horse whip, took a sip of the tea, and said, "Today I got a lot of rabbits and pheasants, and caught a few living ones. I'll send two sisters Qing to eat."

Zhao Changqing said, "There is no reason to bring it with you after eating. How embarrassed I am."

Chu Yue smiled, "At a young age, I have learned to be polite."

"It's not politeness, it's because I'm really thin-skinned." Zhao Changqing's funny Chu brothers and sisters asked in confusion, "Brother Chu, don't you use bows and arrows to beat rabbits? Since you use bows and arrows, how can you catch them alive? Did you run and catch them?"

The Chu brother and sister almost fainted when she said this stupid joke. Chu Yu smirked, "Then you start practicing steps from now on. When you run faster, I will take you to catch the rabbit."

Zhao Changqing knew that he must have said stupid things again, afraid that he would say something outsider to laugh at, so he didn't match Chu Yu's voice, and said instead, "I asked me before! I don't believe that Brother Chu and Sister Chu will learn to themselves without a teacher! What's so funny!"

Chu Yue laughed, "I'll ask you to go with us next time when we go hunting next time. You have to change the clothes that boys wear."

Zhao Changqing nodded hurriedly, "When I get home, I ask the nanny to help me sew. I am learning fists and feet from my father now. When I get older, Sister Chu, I will lend your horse, can you teach me riding a horse?"

Chu Yu smiled, "You are not lent horses. You borrowed it with your master. If you want us to teach you how to ride a horse, why don't you come over and become a disciple quickly."

Zhao Changqing said, "I don't learn now. Even if I get to be a disciple and Sister Chu teaches me, I don't have to worship you as my teacher."

Chu Yu drank most of the cup of tea, put the cup on the kang table and smiled, "I have never thanked you for the birthday gift you gave us yet. Look, I have all brought it with me." Then he pointed it at Zhao Changqing.

Zhao Changqing thought to himself, I didn't give it to you. But since Chu Yu had already narcissistically thought that one of his in the two purses, Chu Changqing didn't say much.

Chu Yue laughed, "This is the first time a girl gave him a purse, which Chu Yu often wears."

Yue Changqing smiled, "I don't believe it. Are there no other sisters who give it to Brother Chu?"

Chu Yu pointed at Chu Yue, "She didn't even know what needlework was. Where could she make purses? My sister was so good at hand. She could make such a good purses last year."

Chu Yue laughed, "You said you are stupid but you don't admit it. How could Changqing do it?"

Chu Yu was surprised, "Isn't it done by Sister Qing?"

"Of course not." Zhao Changqing said, "I'm just starting to learn needle money now, and I'm just learning to recognize materials. This purse is the trick I chose. It's made by my nanny. Her needle and thread are also very good. If Brother Chu doesn't dislike you, I'll give you a new one when you celebrate your birthday this year. Then I'll make such small items. My grandmother's embroidery work is better than this. She is old now and her eyes are not good enough, so she has stopped embroidery for a long time. However, she will definitely pass on her craftsmanship to me."

Chu Yu was still depressed and said to Chu Yue, "I originally thought it was made by a fragrant sister, but it turned out to be the craftsmanship of an old nanny."

Zhao Changqing raised his mouth and stretched out his fat little hand like a bun, "I'll give it back to me if I dislike it!"

"You are a child, and you can ask for anything you give away." Chu Yu smiled, "Then you can make a good one for me this year. After saying that, Sister Qing doesn't have to worry about our birthday gift this year." The second half of the sentence was obviously said to Chu Yue.

Chu Yue laughed, "I'm really good at getting a bargain." He asked Zhao Changqing, "Sister Qing, the daughter of the prefect's family, sent me a post, asked me to appreciate the flowers, and write poems. Will you go? I'll take you with me."

Zhao Changqing shook his head without thinking, "I only recognize three and a half words, so how can I write poetry?"

Chu Yue was worried, "I won't know much, either."

Zhao Changqing thought about it and had an idea, "Don't worry about this sister. Sister Ling from my cousin's family is very good at writing poetry. You have seen her last time. Sister Ling has a good relationship with the prefect's daughter. In two days, my grandmother will take me to the Zhu family to pay my respects to the ancestors. Sister Ling will be here. I will tell her and ask her to help you with two poems to deal with you. She has a good temper and will never refuse."

Chu Yue said, "Isn't this too troublesome sister Ling?"

Zhao Changqing smiled, "What's the trouble with this? Everyone is in the border town. Sister Chu has been here for a short time and there are not many people familiar with her. I asked her to look like you owe her a favor. In fact, it's easy to get familiar with it. Cousin Ling is very familiar with the ladies in the city. As long as Sister Chu gets along with Cousin Ling and asks her to take you with you, everyone else will be familiar with them. Besides, I told her quietly that if you don't tell Cousin Ling, this is what Sister Chu means. She also wants to get close to her sister. Besides, even if Cousin Ling guesses something, she is not a gossip."

Chu Yue laughed when he thought about it. She had just arrived and was indeed not familiar with the circle of ladies of civil servants in the border town. It would be better if there was such a person who could take her around. Then he said, "Okay, I'll bother Sister Qing."

Chu Yu smiled, "I'll thank her for making more delicious food for this girl. Girl, why do I think you're fatter again during the New Year?"

Zhao Changqing pointed at Chu Yu and changed the topic cleverly, "Brother Chu's belly also protruded."

Chu Yu was not fooled at all, "Nonsense, I am just too thin now. I have to eat two kilograms of meat every day to nourish my body. I'm not good at belly fat. I'll tell you how thin I'm getting." As he said that, he stretched out his hand and said, "Chu Yue, your hand is also called Sister Qing."

Both of them had slender and clean hands, Chu Yu said, "Girl, where are your hands?"

Zhao Changqing emphasized, "I am still young, and my grandmother said that the children's hands are like this." Baifa Bai and Fatty, who also had five meat nests, reached out.

The Chu brothers and sisters laughed loudly, and Chu Yu quickly pinched his hands, laughing, "It's so soft that I can't touch the bones."

Zhao Changqing waved his fist angrily and said harshly, "Bad guy! I will beat you to death one day!"

Zhao Changqing had lunch at the Chu family and played until evening before returning home. He also brought her two rabbits and two pheasants that Chu Yu gave her.

Ling smiled at her, "It's just a matter of going to someone else's house to bring some things. The first time I saw you like this, I still took them back."

"Sister Chu insisted on giving it to me, but she couldn't refuse. It's just right to eat stewed rabbit meat tomorrow, soak some mushrooms and stew it together. It's very delicious. It's better to keep pheasant for two days to cook chicken soup." Zhao Changqing just got hungry and returned to braised rabbit meat and pheasant soup and asked Ling, "Mother, am I very fat?"

Ling smiled, "What do you want to do?"

"Brother Chu joked about me for being fat." Now Zhao Changqing is not shy away from Chu Yu's affairs and said, "Brother Chu and Sister Chu are also twins of dragons and phoenixes, and they look very similar. This time they ask about their younger brothers and sisters. They don't look like each other at all."

"This is really a coincidence." Ling laughed again, "You are still young, you will look better if you are fatter. When you grow up at the age of seven or eight, you will naturally lose weight. At a young age, don't be hungry like Zhu Xi."

"Sister Xi can't eat at all. She is born thin, so why are you hungry?"
