Zhao Changqing took the things home, but Ling did not know anything about it.

Zhao Changqing said, "It's all my grandfather's. Cousin Teng borrowed it to my cousin. Now my cousin borrowed it to me."
Ling did not believe her nonsense and laughed, "Don't fool me with this. You and the third sister have always been in a state of disagreement. How could she lend you a piano for no reason? Besides, she has long been a person with high hearts. Now your second aunt has also hired her husband for her, hoping that she will make progress. It's so good, how could she lend you things? Don't say that, even your things and valuables, you can't lend them to others just by borrowing them."
Zhao Changqing smiled, "If I borrow it on weekdays, of course I can't borrow it." She said to Ling simply, "My mother doesn't know who my cousin is. Last time she gave her Mid-Autumn Festival gift, she had to hold me to play chess with her. She had to bet on some lottery. At first I lost two silk flowers and asked her to stop. She forced me to play with her. I almost lost to her with my mother's pearl earrings. Fortunately, my ancestors blessed me, and later I won a third cousin's gold collar, gold bracelet, pearl flowers, silk flowers. After all, I had to make up for it, and I had to pay thirty taels of silver."
Ling's teacher Zhao Changqing said, "What a brave man, you dare to bet such a big guy at home?"
"Where did I want to bet?" Zhao Changqing immediately pushed the matter completely and said, "Mother doesn't know that the third cousin is, she wants to win again if she wins, and she will turn over if she loses. I'm not happy to play, so she will not stop."
"Will you win with your piano and chess?" Ling felt funny again.
Zhao Changqing smiled, "She always takes advantage of me to get happy. Am I stupid? She told me earlier that my grandfather borrowed her piano, but I was not convinced. I am also a granddaughter. I had told my grandfather that the piano was too expensive and I didn't have a piano, so I learned the flute first. My grandfather obviously had a piano, so I didn't say I borrowed it. My cousin would lend it to me. My mother thought about it, how partial my grandfather was."
Zhao Changqing pouted and said, "Besides, can I blame me for the first time for gambling? My third cousin insisted on gamble. If I win her, would it be for nothing? Anyway, it was my grandfather's thing, and she lost to me because she was not capable. I want it. I will not save the money to buy a piano? In the future, even if my grandfather wants it, I can't think I will pay it back!"
Ling smiled, "Don't tell me about this. Your father and I don't have the ability to do this. I'm sorry, what do you think of? I think you have already made the idea of playing this piano."
Zhao Changqing raised his eyebrows and said, "There are things that are virtuous and those who have no virtue will lose them. This piano belongs to me, which shows that I am virtuous."
Ling laughed and scolded, "Save me, you don't feel so cruel when you say this. If you cheat someone's piano, you will become a virtuous person? Do your second aunt know about this?"
"My third cousin lost thirty taels of silver. How could she dare to tell her second aunt clearly? Even she asked me to keep this piano and chess secret. She told her second aunt that she borrowed it from me." The piano had already been obtained, and Zhao Changqing no longer cared about the Ling family's mother and daughter, and waved her hand, "Don't care about her. Anyway, this is our thing. Unless she uses real money to redeem it, otherwise, she can't touch the piano for a while."
Ling said, "Okay, if you have a piano, go and learn it, don't pay attention to your second aunt." The ready-made cheapness, my daughter has carried the things back, can we still pay it back? Why not save more than ten taels of silver? Ling is not a fool.
Even Mr. Su praised her for what Zhao Changqing did, and smiled, "I used to see you stupid, but I didn't want to have such wisdom."
Zhao Changqing said modestly, "A little meaning is not a thousandth of a thousandth of a gentleman."
Mr. Su enjoys the land, "A famous teacher produces a high-level disciple, so there is no need to be too humble."
Zhao Changqing smiled happily, and now he realized how cool it feels to take advantage!
Mr. Su said, "Since you have two chess pieces, give me the one you bought before that is not valuable. You just play chess with Abai when you are idle."
Zhao Changqing was very filial, "How can I give the bad to the teacher? I will send my grandfather's set to him. The talented people will live in the world. Don't be polite to me. When will my chess skills be better than my husband, and then I will win back my grandfather's chess."
Mr. Su laughed constantly and pointed at Zhao Changqing and said, "You are now open to your spiritual orifice, and you have learned to be slick and slutty so quickly."
"Every word is honest, I am not so slick." Zhao Changqing said seriously, "In the past, I have always been respectful and filial to my husband. However, in the past, students were shy in their nature, and some words were not allowed to say in their hearts. Now after the teacher adjusted them, they suddenly felt refreshed and embarrassed to say something. Now students know that honesty is an amazing virtue."
Mr. Su patted Zhao Changqing on the shoulder and praised, "A good word warms three winters, and a bad word hurts people in June. Everyone in the world doesn't like to listen to good words, be sure to keep it."
Zhao Changqing agreed seriously.
Zhao Changqing has never been a stupid person. In her previous life, she only learned the old lady's first-hand embroidery skills. Her needlework and threading are all first-class, although they are all used to serve people. However, it is definitely not something that a stupid person can do to learn a skill that makes others unable to find fault.
She was just used to being a transparent person, and she was trembling with the worldly style and lacked confidence. She was even used to living a frustrated life, and she was depressed for decades until her death.
Now, she is already fearless.
Although Qin was a little too big for Zhao Changqing, she didn't mind at all, and the fat man was very excited.
When the birthday of the ancestor of the Zhu family was approaching, Zhao Changqing put the scriptures he had copied in a box and said to Mrs. Zhao, "I have learned a few words now and copied a few pages of scriptures for my ancestors to celebrate my birthday."
Old Mrs. Zhao laughed, "It's rare that you have this intention. You have to learn some things every day and take time to copy this, are you tired?"
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Mr. taught me that if people have no future plans, they must have immediate worries. Everything must be planned early. This was started early in the morning. I copied one page every day, and it is not tiring. Now I have copied it. I always go to pay my respects to my ancestors. My ancestors treat me well, and I have nothing to repay her, so I copied some scriptures to bless her wealth and longevity." In fact, she didn't specifically give her to Mrs. Zhu. Next month is Mr. Zhu's birthday. She made socks and gave her to Mrs. Zhu, so she should naturally give her some things to Mrs. Zhu. Otherwise, I would be sorry for Mrs. Zhu's kindness to her.
Old Mrs. Zhao laughed, "This is very good." She didn't have such a clever mind when she was Zhao Changqing's age, but Zhao Changqing was extremely smart since childhood, so Old Mrs. Zhao didn't feel strange.
The birthday of the old lady of the Zhu family is coming soon, and the Ling family came to the Zhao family early in the morning to meet. When Ling Sanjie saw that Zhao Changqing had returned to her previous intimacy, Zhao Changqing also greeted the Ling family with a smile.
Mrs. Ling also smiled at Ling, "Now the two sisters are getting better and better. I heard that Changqing has no piano envoy, so the third sister also lent the piano to Changqing."
Ling didn't know what to say, so she just held back her laughter in her stomach and said to Mrs. Ling Er, "Yes. Sisters, I shouldn't be so kind."
Mrs. Ling Er had a unique purpose and asked with a smile, "Girl Qing, how are you learning piano now?"
Zhao Changqing said, "Just start learning."
Mrs. Ling Er laughed, "Your cousin hasn't learned yet. Her husband told me several times that he would teach your cousin to play the piano. Otherwise, let's ask your cousin to learn for a while, okay?"
Zhao Changqing didn't even move a single eyebrow, but turned to look at Ling Sanjie with a discomfortable face and asked with a smile, "What are you saying about cousin?"
Sister Ling was most worried about dealing with Zhao Changqing now, and hurriedly said, "Mom, I said I didn't want to learn anything about the piano or not. It's very boring! Let me learn it with my sister! I'm not the material for playing the piano and flute. I'm learning poetry with my husband. Where can I play the piano? Sister Qing, you can study hard. I won't learn the piano anymore!" The implication was that she didn't plan to pay back the money.
Mrs. Ling's second wife's face darkened, thinking that her daughter was stupid. She said at home that she was not easy to ask for the things she had lent out. Now that she was a mother, she didn't want to learn it anymore. It's really...
Zhao Changqing smiled, "I heard from my cousin. Do you know how to write poetry now? Sister Ling also likes to write poetry."
Sister Ling asked with a smile, "Are you talking about Zhu Ling?"
"Yes, Sister Ling and the magistrate have the best daughters, and they often write poetry lessons. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do it, otherwise I can join in the fun." Zhao Changqing also learned to fool people.
Sister Ling immediately said with envy, "Is there anything important? If there is fun in the future, just go there, just act as an eye-opener."
Zhao Changqing smiled but said nothing.
Ling Sanjie had another purpose this time, but she was also a little scheming person. She didn't speak for the time being, but instead looked at the silk flower on Zhao Changqing's head and asked, "Sister Qing didn't wear the new flower we bought at Wanhuafang." She is wearing the plum blossoms of the new flower that day. She dressed up early in the morning, but Ling Sanjie looked in the mirror for a long time.
Zhao Changqing smiled, "The hair I combed today is not suitable, I want to wait for the New Year before wearing it."
Sister Ling smiled, "My sister's hair looks good today."
It seems that Ling Sanjie has something to ask for inquiries. Zhao Changqing knew it, his eyes were curled, "You can only combed it with too much hair now. Unlike my cousin, she is already a graceful girl. She looks good when she wears any kind of hair and flowers." This is not Zhao Changqing flattered Ling Sanjie. Ling Sanjie is indeed a bit handsome, but her eyes are shining, which really destroys her temperament.
Sister Ling smiled like a flower, "Sister is really good at talking."
"It's not as much as my cousin."
Ling Teng looked at Ling Sanjie talking and laughing with Zhao Changqing, sighing deep down. The gap in his head was really not something that age could make up for.
In fact, there was nothing to say about the Zhu family's banquet. The flowers were still lively. The Ling family siblings followed Zhao Changqing and Ling's third sister went in. After paying birthday, Zhao Changqing and Ling's third sister went to a special room to entertain girls. Zhu Ling and Zhu Xi and Zhu Chan were still entertaining guests. This year, the girls from the imperial capital did not come. It is said that the eldest grandson of Mrs. Zhu came to pay their birthday to her grandmother in person. Zhao Changqing only heard it and did not see it seriously.
Now, Zhao Changqing also has a few familiar friends. She first greeted Zhao Feiyun, the elder sister of the clan leader's family. Zhao Feiyun smiled, "I haven't seen Sister Qing for a long time, how good is my sister?"
Zhao Changqing smiled, "I'm very good, but it's cold now, so I'm mostly lazy and staying at home. How about my sister?"
Zhao Feiyun smiled, "I'm fine too. I didn't catch up with my sister's last treat. Later, I kept thinking about it, but my sister didn't invite her anymore, and I felt very sorry."
Zhao Changqing said, "This is not easy. I will post a separate post tomorrow to invite my sister to come to my house for fun."
Zhao Feiyun smiled, "That's great. But I'll invite you first. It's October 28th birthday, and my family doesn't do it very well. I want to use this reason to invite my familiar sisters to come and have a gathering together. Now I'll tell my sister first, and I'll send someone a post to my sister tomorrow. My sister must come.
"Don't worry, sister, I'll be there."
As the two were talking, Chu Yue arrived. In the border town, the general's office had the highest official position. When Chu Yue appeared, he naturally looked like stars holding the moon. Fortunately, she was used to this kind of occasion and was able to talk and chat easily. Zhao Changqing and Zhao Feiyun were about to go over to say hello, but Ling Sanjie and another girl came over. Ling Sanjie smiled and said, "Sister Qing, I'll introduce you to you. This is Luanjie. You are still relatives. Luanjie's grandmother is a sister and your old lady are sisters."
Zhao Changqing smiled and said hello, "Sister Luan. I was very young when I came out, but I didn't recognize my sister."
Zhang Fengluan smiled and held Zhao Changqing's hand and said intimately, "My sister is young. It's important to not recognize her before. Isn't it okay to recognize her?"
Zhao Changqing introduced Zhao Feiyun to the two of them again. She had known the purpose of the two, but now Chu Yue is surrounded by people, and it is not a good time to say hello. Seeing Ling Sanjie and Zhang Fengluan always pay attention to Chu Yue, Zhao Changqing neither pointed out nor was impatient, and he spoke slowly with Zhao Feiyun.
Just when the people around Chu Yue gradually became fewer, Ling Sanjie was about to sweat quickly on his forehead. Zhao Changqing said, "Sister Feiyun, cousin, Luan, Sister Chu is here, let's go over and say hello together."
Zhao Feiyun smiled, "I'm about to tell my sister too."
When Chu Yue saw them, he was also happy and said with a smile, "I had seen you sit far away and laughing. If you didn't come, I would have gone."
Miss Ling from the prefect's family smiled and said, "I recognize Sister Yun, but these girls only think they are interested in life."
Chu Yue pulled Zhao Changqing and said, "This is Sister Qing. I have known Sister Qing for a long time. But I don't recognize these two sisters very much."
Zhao Changqing naturally introduced Ling Sanjie and Zhang Fengluan to Chu Yue and Miss Ling to recognize him. Everyone joked casually. Zhao Changqing took Ling Sanjie and the others to sit somewhere else. Chu Yue smiled and said, "You come here later, I have something to ask you."
Zhao Changqing blinked, "What's the matter?"
Chu Yue laughed, "Let's talk about it later."
Ling Sanjie sighed in her heart. It seemed that Zhao Changqing and Miss Chu were really familiar.
Of course, it is definitely not just Ling Sanjie who thinks about this. Zhang Fengluan's two legitimate sisters came with each other and smiled, "Jess Luan is here to recognize her relatives alone, but I forgot about us."
Zhang Fengluan hurriedly said, "I followed my third sister to get a chance." He introduced his sister Zhang Fengchu and Zhang Fengxiao to Zhao Changqing. Zhang Fengchu laughed, "It's all a family of sisters. If you have time, I'll ask my sister to come to my house to play. Sister Qing must come."
Regarding these relatives who emerged for no reason, Zhao Changqing said repeatedly, "It must be certain, sister, don't forget that I am."
Next, there were really not a complete relative of the aunts and aunts. How could Mr. Zhu have children? When it comes to grandchildren, great-grandchildren, these ladies are not all very good, and some of them cannot match Chu Yue. Seeing that Zhao Changqing is familiar with Chu Yue’s words, he found out that Zhao Changqing’s background and then came to recognize him, so he could save the country in a straight line.
Zhao Changqing wanted to sit down and eat a snack without any time. He spent most of the day on his relatives and talking. After most of the day, his face was frozen.
After lunch, Chu Yue did not tell Zhao Changqing what was going on. The Zhao family said goodbye, and Zhao Changqing and Mrs. Zhao were in a car and said to Mrs. Zhao, "Grandma, I only then did I realize that our family has so many relatives."
Old Mrs. Zhao laughed, "Your great-grandfather has ten sons and five daughters, grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren, and granddaughter. There are more than a hundred people. What kind of limelight are you today? They didn't pay attention to you in the past."
Zhao Changqing said, "I said a few words to Sister Chu. Maybe they misunderstood that I am familiar with Sister Chu."
Old Mrs. Zhao laughed, "Don't think it's strange if everyone is like this."
After returning home, Ling asked Zhao Changqing to enter his house to entertain Ling Sanjie and Ling Teng.
When Ling Sanjie saw that her Qin An was placing her zither safely in Zhao Changqing's house, there was no need to mention the feeling in her heart. Ling Sanjie suppressed her sadness and took the ginger honey tea sent by Liu'er to inquire with Zhao Changqing, "Sister Qing, what's the matter with you?"
Zhao Changqing said, "I don't know, Sister Chu didn't say it later, maybe she forgot."
Sister Ling San asked again, "Who is that Miss Zhao?"
Zhao Changqing underestimated, "It's the elder sister of the clan leader. But the third sister is familiar with Sister Luan, so why are Sister Xiao unfamiliar with Sister Chu?"
