Chapter 58(1/2)
Mrs. Ling finally realized how powerful Zhao Changqing is. This book is updated simultaneously on Baidu Sozhaji Novel Network. ()
Why is it said that Zhao Changqing is powerful, not Ling or Zhao Yong is powerful?
After all, Mrs. Ling has lived for decades. Although she is an unreasonable shrew, she still has some knowledge. She has many years of relationship with Ling's sister-in-law and has dealt with Zhao Yong. She knows the temper of the couple. Ling's ears are soft, and Zhao Yong is not too calculating. The stack of documents and neat accounts are calculated. The entire Ling family can tell a few words, but the mother-in-law taught her after getting married. Zhao Yong has been studying for a few years after his marriage. It is not that Mrs. Ling looked down on the couple, but it is really that Ling and Zhao Yong can't do such a thing.
As soon as you think of Zhao Changqing, Mrs. Ling's second wife felt dizzy.
Because there were two house managers, discussing these things was always a man's business, and it was inconvenient for women to be present. Zhao Yong said to Ling, "Go and have a look at the tea."
Uncle Ling also said to Mrs. Ling, "Go and see how good your body is," said Mrs. Ling.
Mrs. Ling gritted her teeth and went out to wait with Ling. After the matter was resolved, Mrs. Ling heard her husband say she wanted to pay the Zhao family 80 taels of silver, and immediately screamed, "Where do you need so much money?" But she was just unconscious for more than ten days!
The head of the Zhao family's sixth house, Mr. Zhao Liu, looked at the old master Ling Qi, and the second uncle Ling whispered, "I can understand everything clearly and clearly. You can go and read the documents later. The elders are here, don't say loudly."
Mrs. Ling Er endured the bloody heart, bit her lower lip, and finally silent.
Ling Er's uncle's family did not drag the money to give it to him. The next day, the silver was sent. Ling took the money and wanted to keep Ling Er's uncle for dinner. Ling Er's uncle refused to work in the shop, and said a few words before leaving.
Ling sighed in his heart and said to Zhao Changqing, "I always feel uncomfortable."
"What's wrong with it? My mother is just too kind-hearted. If she doesn't teach her second aunt a lesson, she will never end in the future." Zhao Changqing disliked Ling's second uncle at all, and smiled and advised Ling, "Didn't my mother say that when I was just unconscious, I was at my grandmother's house. I asked the doctor to boil medicine for the medicine and it was the money I got from my grandmother. Now I should pay my grandmother back. Also, the sixth house uncle came forward for us, and this case cannot be saved. Let's go with the housekeeper's house more, and we will not suffer as much as we suffer. As for my second aunt, she will have to think about it when she makes trouble in the future, and whether she can afford to provoke our family."
After getting the money and giving her daughter this relief, Ling was also excited. The main reason is that women's thoughts after getting married and having children are different from those when they were at their parents' home. No matter how close their brothers and sisters are, they can't kiss their husbands and children. Ling smiled, "Let's go and see your grandmother together."
Zhao Changqing said, "There is also my grandfather's Go. Since my second aunt's family has paid back the money my third cousin owes me, I should be trustworthy. I will ask Uncle Laifu to return the Go to my third cousin."
Ling smiled, "When you have time to go out and have a look, if there is a suitable piano to tell me, we can't buy a very good one, so it's okay to buy an ordinary one, you sisters and use it together."
Zhao Changqing smiled, "That's good." With this money, you will naturally be able to buy things.
Zhao Rong said, "Mom, buy me and my sister a little maid. We went out together, and there was only one Liu'er who took her, and sometimes Liu'er didn't care about it. Moreover, if Liu'er went out with us, no one would serve her grandmother."
Now that he has the money, Ling smiled, "It's time to buy you a little maid, and ask Liu'er to serve your grandmother."
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Just hit me and just moved the house, my mother said she would buy me a maid and drag it to this day."
Ling smiled, "If you can live, you can save as much as you want, how can you be extravagant?" Looking at the two beautiful daughters, Ling felt indescribable satisfaction and said, "When you call the yashi, you can choose it yourself. I see that other girls have close maids, so you can buy one for each of you."
I won’t mention the matter of buying a girl for now. On the next day, Ling took her two daughters back to her parents’ house to visit her father and mother. She gave her annual gifts together and prepared a gift for Mrs. Ling.
Ling smiled, "Those days, my sister-in-law was recuperating from my sister-in-law. I was so ignorant that my sister-in-law worked hard. It was the Chinese New Year, so my sister-in-law would cut two new clothes for my girls and the girls."
Mrs. Ling smiled and said, "I should be my eldest aunt. My eldest brother's birthday, and every year my girl has needles and threads to respect her niece. She is more considerate than her elder sisters. Sister should not be so polite." Mrs. Ling did have a good relationship with Ling, mainly because when her husband was planning a mission, Ling borrowed money. Although the money was paid back to the Ling family in recent years, uncle Ling has always remembered her sister's goodness. Mrs. Ling naturally knew the relationship between Ling and Ling. In addition, Zhao Changqing had an ordinary relationship with the third sister of Ling, but she was very happy to interact with Ling and Ling's second sister, and after a few years of getting along, she naturally became closer to Ling's uncle Ling's family.
Ling smiled, "They little sisters have been dating for a long time. The eldest sister has a good temperament, and the second sister and the fourth sister are all rare to be sensible."
Mrs. Ling was about to say something, but when she saw that Ling Erjie had grabbed the cake and wanted to eat it, she hurriedly drank it, "Second sister, don't eat cake again."
Ling Erjie is thirteen years old, and her eyebrows are similar to her sister. However, she has tasted delicious since she was a child. Now she is so thick. Mrs. Ling is so worried. It’s nothing to be fat when she was a child. If she is still stupid when she is a girl, she is about to say that she is about to kiss her. Mrs. Ling never leaves her eyes to control her second sister’s diet.
Sister Ling complained with a bitter face, "Mom, I'm hungry."
"Drink two more cups of tea when you are hungry. Who will marry you if you don't lose weight? Look at your sister, look at your sister, who is like you." Mrs. Ling can die of worry. The eldest daughter's water look is quite like Ling when she was young. The younger daughter is still young and not fat. She only has this two daughter, as if Bajie was reincarnated and she knows how to eat with her mind.
Ling's second sister, bajiba, moaned her lips and took the tea to drink in a depressed manner.
Ling looked at the niece and was worried, saying, "It's time to control it gradually. I heard that someone told her to kiss her elder sister. In a few years, it will be her second sister's turn." They are all small families, and the people in the border town are open, so when it comes to getting married, the elders do not avoid the girls.
Mrs. Ling smiled, "That's not the case. The children are so annoying. In the blink of an eye, the children are growing up, and now they are reluctant to let them get married."
Ling followed Mrs. Ling and said, "Who said no?" In fact, she still couldn't understand Mrs. Ling's mood now, and her children were all young.
Ling Erjie watched the sisters eat cake and swallowed in envy. Zhao Rong gave Ling Erjie a little wink. Ling Erjie was very enlightened. The two of them went out one after another. Zhao Rong quietly handed a piece of furong cake to Ling Erjie and smiled, "Second sister, it's so uncomfortable to be hungry."
Sister Ling took it with gratitude and smiled, "Sister Rong, you are so nice."
Zhao Rong smiled, "Then I'll go in first."
Ling Erjie nodded, and after secretly ate the cake, he turned back into the house. Zhao Changqing smiled and pointed to the corner of Ling Erjie's lips. Ling Erjie touched it and found that it was cake crumbs. She stuck out her tongue, smiled embarrassedly, and whispered, "Sister doesn't know my troubles, and the feeling of hunger is so uncomfortable."
Zhao Changqing smiled, "You can eat less gradually first, and gradually get used to eating less, so you will naturally lose weight and don't feel uncomfortable."
Ling Erjie said, "Now my mother only asks me to eat a bowl of rice every time she eats, but she doesn't ask me to eat pastries in the middle. I'm so hungry that I can't sleep at night."
Sister Ling said, "Mom is also for your own good. Look at your waist, there are two sisters in Dingqing."
Ling Erjie said, "When I was a child, Sister Qing was also round and somehow she suddenly lost weight."
No girl would be willing to be fat. Ling Erjie asked Zhao Changqing, "Sister Qing, do you have any tricks?"
Zhao Changqing smiled, "There is no trick? When you grow up, you will naturally lose weight. Just eat less snacks. When making snacks, you usually add a lot of oil and powdered sugar, which is easier to gain weight than eating meat."
Sister Ling sighed, "I don't know why I like eating so much. I don't ask me to eat, so I feel so greedy."
Zhao Changqing smiled, "The second sister is white in life, and her facial features are also beautiful. If she can be thinner, she will look better in a skirt." This is not to flatter Ling Erjie, the four sisters of the Ling family, including the most beautiful Ling Sanjie, actually her facial features are not as beautiful as Ling Erjie. However, Ling Erjie has been greedy since childhood, and she can say that she is round and cute when she was young. Now she is big and still fat, so it has nothing to do with cuteness.
Ling Erjie was very worried, "Who did you try to feel hungry?" Who knew her troubles?
Zhao Changqing said, "Second sister first controls her and doesn't eat snacks. She can slowly lose weight when eating. You are growing now, as long as you don't eat too much, you won't be very likely to get fat."
Zhao Rong said, "Seeing that the second sister is so uncomfortable, she is not very old. It doesn't matter if she stays for two years before controlling her food."
Zhao Changqing said, "In two years, the second sister will be fifteen. How can it be too late? Nowadays, people judge people by their appearance. To be honest, who can see people's virtues at first glance? You don't look beautiful, but you want to say a few more words. If you are ugly, you will develop a desire to retreat. We are all like this. Think about it, others are the same. The second sister is slowly controlling her figure and will look good at the age of fifteen, and will not delay the marriage. If you control your diet at the age of fifteen, you will probably lose weight. You will gradually become thinner and will not easily get sick. If you become thinner for a while, it will not be good for your health. Even if the second sister wants to eat, she will have to be more modest after thinking about it."
Sister Ling followed, "Second sister, Sister Qing is right, you have to eat less."
The little sisters were talking, and Ling came in and called Zhao Changqing, "Your grandfather asked you to talk to you, go and talk to your grandfather."
Zhao Changqing got up and went to make up his dress.
Grandpa Ling was wearing a soy-colored cotton robe, sitting in a chair with a book in his arms, and a wolf-skin blanket on his knees.
Zhao Changqing came in, Grandpa Ling put down the book and smiled, "But it's so neat." He pointed to the chair beside him and "sit."
Zhao Changqing sat down, stroked the skirt on his knees, and smiled, "Thank you grandfather to be concerned about it, it's already great."
Grandpa Ling had a piano and a chess hand in his hand and said, "Yesterday, Brother Teng brought the piano and chess pieces to me."
Zhao Changqing said, "After clearing the account, I took the help of my family to return the chess to my third cousin."
Grandpa Ling nodded and sighed, "Your second aunt must have learned a lesson."
"Love it without the truth, so it is harmful to it." Zhao Changqing said, "Our family is not very crowded, it is nothing more than my uncle and second uncle and my family. None of the elders in the family are unreasonable anymore. Now, it is better to learn a lesson than to offend people who can't afford to offend in the future. Besides, the elders don't care about her, so would she still bully the younger generation? Because of her temper, Cousin Teng apologizes everywhere. When will it be? Everyone says that Cousin Teng will be a promising person in the future. Grandfather said bluntly that Cousin Teng has a promising future. If he has such a promising mother, his family will not care about it. If it falls on the outsider, will the outsider not care about it?"
"Besides, this is not a lesson. I just do it according to reason. I am bullied, so I naturally have to say justice, which is normal."
As soon as Zhao Changqing talked about his precious grandson, Grandpa Ling felt that what Zhao Changqing said was reasonable and sighed, "I don't want to care about all of you. They are all my children and grandchildren, and their palms and backs are all flesh. Whoever is not biased, and you will complain."
Zhao Changqing laughed, "It's not stupid or deaf, but Ah Weng, a grandfather, is good to pretend to be confused."
Grandpa Ling smiled, straightened his upper body and touched Zhao Changqing's head, and said, "Don't be so angry in the future. What should I do if there is a small matter if there is a problem with my true qi?"
"I understand." Zhao Changqing smiled, "I am also young and very strong."
Grandpa Ling pointed at the piano and chess and said, "I am old and I have no intention of playing piano and playing chess. These things will sooner or later be yours. Your cousin and the others don't understand this. The juniors at home, you and Brother Teng have studied a lot of books. It's not a waste to you. You can choose the same one."
Zhao Changqing was not polite and said, "Then grandfather will give me this Go painting."
Grandpa Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, "What is the more valuable piano? You can buy a cheap Go outside for dozens of dollars. The cheapest piano is worth more than ten taels, right?"
Zhao Changqing laughed, "I have been studying qin for three years. I am not very talented, but I play the flute well. What's more, I saw my cousin placing Go pieces at home. If there is a qin, he might have a little bit of it. He wants to be a talented man. Maybe he can use this qin for him." Zhao Changqing said it nicely, but in fact he only needs one reason for him to want chess. Mr. Su cherishes this chess piece and wipes Yunzi one by one when he gave it to the Ling family. I think Mr. Su loves this chess piece very much. He talks about Ling Teng, but it's just a guise. Zhao Changqing doesn't mind at all if he can use Ling Teng.
Grandpa Ling was very pleased and smiled, "Okay, okay. It should be like this between brother and sister. Yesterday I asked Brother Teng to choose, and he insisted on asking you to choose first."
Zhao Changqing was funny, thinking that the old man was really stupid in his study, and he complained, "My grandfather said he was not biased just now, but now he told me that he asked his cousin Teng to choose first. Fortunately, cousin Teng knew to give in to me, otherwise I would have to be the last one."
Grandpa Ling was helpless and shook his head, "How could a little girl be born so tricky?"
"Isn't it because my grandfather is still blamed for his decent appearance?" Zhao Changqing knocked on the old man's heart, and Grandpa Ling laughed.
The party was very pleasant.
Ling gave Mrs. Ling privately twenty taels of silver. Mrs. Ling first refused, but later after her daughter advised her, she smiled and took the silver. She didn't feel sympathy for Mrs. Ling Er. Mrs. Ling also got fresh clothes, even though Sister Ling muttered to her mother after the Zhao family left, "Grandfather gave Go to Sister Qing."
Mrs. Ling didn't care, and said, "Just give it to me. Changqing will study early and will also play with those things."
Sister Ling Si was born to be a little wealthy fan. She glanced at her mother and said, "That Go is worth a lot of money."
Mrs. Ling had long been accustomed to her father-in-law's partiality and said casually, "It's better to give it to Changqing than to give it to her third sister."
Sister Ling Si said, "It's better for my mother to invite me a gentleman, and I'm not happy to be blind."
"Go." Mrs. Ling chased Sister Ling Si, "I want to learn calligraphy from your grandfather. Look at Changqing, I will make your grandfather happy every time I come. You guard your grandfather every day and learn more cleverly. Don't always stare at things. If you make your grandfather happy, your grandfather will give you the same." She called Sister Ling, "The new material sent by your aunt is still silk. Look at how bright the color is, you can cut two new clothes for the New Year."
Sister Ling was very polite and said, "Mom, let's cut all the clothes for the second and fourth sisters."
"Just cut off a piece of clothing for the second sister. Isn't the fourth sister still having modified clothes?" These days, most of her sisters wear her sister's old clothes. As for Ling Erjie, due to her figure, she can't wear Sister Ling's clothes and always has to make new clothes.
Sister Ling Si said unhappily, "I don't want to always wear old clothes, I want new clothes too!"
"What's the matter? Your sister's clothes are not old, and it's just new clothes to change."
Sister Ling Si pouted and said, "Sister Rong never wears Sister Qing's old clothes! It's enough for me to wear my eldest sister's old clothes! Do you have no new clothes during the Chinese New Year? I want to wear new clothes!"
"Okay, okay, I'll cut it all for you." Mrs. Ling said, "You can learn to be sensible as well. Look at your sisters' needlework, how neat."
Sister Ling took a box of silk flowers piled up for her mother to show her. Mrs. Ling asked, "What did your aunt give it to me?"
"My sister Qing gave it to me and said it was my own." Sister Ling sighed, "Mom said that I have good needlework. Sister Qing is born with a pair of skilled hands. Look at the flowers she has laid out more beautiful than those sold outside. There are six branches in total, and we are two branches each."
Mrs. Ling laughed, "This child Changqing has a conscience."
"Today she also advised her second sister to say a lot, asking her to control her food." Sister Ling is gentle by nature and likes Zhao Changqing very much.
