Chapter 72
As soon as Chu Yu entered Zhao Changqing's house, he smiled, "What a fragrant house, it turns out that Sister Qing likes roses..." Not only did she plant many outside the porch, but the potted plants in the small pots in the house are still roses. Zhao Changqing's house is different from the ordinary lady's house. She never cuts branches to put them in a vase, but instead placed fresh potted flowers in a scattered manner. There is no need to incense in the whole room, and the fragrance of flowers is already fragrant.
Zhao Changqing smiled, "This flower is easy to feed, so it doesn't need to be taken care of, and it can bloom for a long time. In winter, I always raise daffodils, which is also very fragrant." Chu Yu asked him to sit down and ordered Yongfu to pour tea.
Zhao Changning said, "The daffodils start to look like garlic, and they will bloom slowly. I soaked the garlic in water and will also emit garlic sprouts. They will scramble eggs with garlic sprouts. It is delicious. Brother Chu, have you eaten it?"
Chu Yu smiled, "It's delicious, but the mouth is super smelly after eating. You have to use the toothbrush well."
Zhao Changning felt quite a sense of soulmate about this, "Yes, after rubbing it with green salt, I have to paint it with my teeth. My sister also wants me to hold the tea leaves in my mouth." It's so annoying.
Su Bai smiled, "This is the case with garlic and green onion. It tastes delicious when you eat it, but the smell doesn't taste good after eating it."
"It's better than stinky tofu," said Zhao Changning. "I think a man should be a real man."
When Zhao Changqing saw that Liu'er had given her snacks, she asked Liu'er to put it on the table in the small living room and said to Zhao Changning, "Not care about the details and being sloppy are different."
Zhao Changning said, "Pear fruit didn't take a shower last half a month."
"Yes, why did Sister Li Huaer swollen his butt?" Li Guo, a year older than Zhao Changning, is slow to do anything, and doesn't like washing your hair, taking a shower and changing clothes. If no one cares, he will be bad. Li Huaer often teaches him for this, but the teaching method is not very gentle. Li Guo also negotiates with his sister for this. The negotiation content is as follows, "Or, beat me and don't force me to take a shower."
Xiao Lihuaer rolled up her sleeves and beat Liguo without hesitation, and then pressed him into the bathtub to wash. Later, Liguo felt that he could not avoid taking a shower after being beaten. It was a bit unprofitable, so he had to take good care of his personal hygiene. But occasionally, sometimes I forgot, accidentally got rid of something, and asked Xiao Lihuaer to touch him, and he would definitely beat him up.
Zhao Changqing patted Zhao Changning's hand to get the cake and said, "Go and wash your hands first. You guys are both guns and good, and you don't think they are dirty just now."
"It's so long-winded." Zhao Changning muttered and pulled Su Bai out to wash his hands.
Yongfu brought tea and Zhao Changqing called Chu Yu, "Brother Chu, come here to have tea and snacks."
Chu Yu was looking through Zhao Changqing's small bookshelf. The books on it were all copied and bound into books by Zhao Changqing himself. Chu Yu asked, "Why don't you buy books?"
Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's such a fool. There are not many book shops in the entire border town. It costs one or two taels of silver to buy a few books. This is still an ordinary book. If it is a large number, it is even more expensive. In fact, my grandfather's family has many books, so I often borrow them to copy them. This way, save money, deepen memory, and practice calligraphy, killing three birds with one stone."
Zhao Changqing went over and took out a book called "Three Character Classic", "This is the first book I copied, look at the words at that time." He took out another page of the newly copied "Lu Yu Tea Classic", pointed to the words above and said, "Growing up a lot."
Chu Yu also had to admit, "The characters now look a bit."
Zhao Changqing said, "I am not a very talented person. Sometimes I feel discouraged when I see others doing this and that. However, every time I read these copied books, I still feel that as long as I grit my teeth and persevere, I will always make progress."
On the first day Zhao Changqing was working as a teacher at Mr. Su, Mr. Su deliberately cultivated her orderliness. Until now, Zhao Changqing can still draw the fine brushwork he had just learned to paint. Like those copied books, she collected a lot of them, so she bound it into a picture album page by page. Take it out from the bookshelf for Chu Yu to see, "Last year I learned to draw flowers and trees, these pictures are peach blossoms, huh, roses, and jasmine. Jasmine is the flowers raised in Mr. Su's house. This is a daffodil, it is a bit cold in winter, and the pigment is
It is difficult to melt, so I didn't draw a few pages. I learned about fish this year. The goldfish I raised in the small fish tank outside was just bought. The gentleman said that I had to observe more to draw well." Zhao Changqing said to Chu Yu in detail that she was just a chess and was pretty good at painting. Although Zhao Changqing always thought it was because of the way she drew flowers in her previous life, even Mr. Su said that she was very spiritual in painting, which was true. In her previous life, the flowers she embroidered were better than those of ordinary embroidery girls.
Chu Yu said, "How old are you? You are now very good."
Zhao Changqing laughed, "I can draw better in the future."
Chu Yu said, "When you draw the fish, you will just embroider a Pisces purse for me."
Zhao Changqing smiled, "I have booked your birthday gift in just a few months? What did you give me to my birthday in April?"
"It's really a lampstand. You can take photos of others and you can't see yourself. What do you want?"
"Who would take the initiative to ask for anything except Brother Chu? I am a girl, so I should be more reserved. I will want whatever Brother Chu gives me." Zhao Changqing smiled, "Brother Chu isn't someone who often claims to know five thousand years ago and five hundred years ago. Can't he give the same suitable birthday gift?"
Chu Yu tapped her forehead and said, "If it's something you like."
"I don't have anything amazing to like at all."
"I will definitely like you when you meet me."
Zhao Changqing finally became a little curious and asked, "What is it?"
Chu Yu smiled and was ridiculous, "I won't tell you."
Zhao Changqing looked at Chu Yu, and saw that his face was already very good. Fang pursed his lips and said, "There is something I want to ask you."
"What's the matter? Is your father's promotion?" Chu Yu was completely right away.
Zhao Changqing was no longer surprised by his ability, and nodded honestly, "Although my father has been happy these days, he is also very nervous."
Chu Yu did not sway Zhao Changqing's appetite. "The garrison is different from the border troops under my father. The border troops are recruited soldiers and are all local. The garrison is a guard team drawn by local military households. Whether it is the chief flag, the hundred households, or the thousand households, they are all from the border towns. Therefore, the border troops and the garrison are different from the hills of the garrison. But the hundred households are sixth ranks, and the official ranks are neither high nor low. If there are no flaws, they will report them layer by layer. Qingyuan works by my father, and you are familiar with us, so we also know your family's style. Uncle Zhao is a real person and has been a general flag for some years. It is not an exaggeration to be diligent when he is a staff member. When Qingyuan saw the document, he asked me. Just ask Uncle Zhao to be a staff member seriously."
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Anyway, thank you for your kind words. My father has no ambitions. We only found out about Zhu Baihu's lack of problems later. He didn't move up at all, and he turned his head. He was really surprised and happy." Her family felt that something was so big, and Yu Chuyu and Liang Qingyuan were just a word. However, she did not expect that Liang Qingyuan would speak for her family. After all, she and Liang Qingyuan were just familiar with each other.
"If you really want to thank me, why not make me a sachet and spend some time wearing it?"
Zhao Changqing laughed, "Then you must be careful of being cheated by me in the future." She became a sachet and her father was promoted to the sixth rank, so how many more would she give her? Of course, this is just a joke.
Chu Yu smiled and said to Zhao Changqing, "The lack of Zhu Baihu left behind is Song Qianhu's subordinates. Uncle Zhao was always with Zhao Qianhu before. The lack of these hundred households has now fallen on Uncle Zhao. However, you still have to go to Song Qianhu to make some reservations, don't make him feel uncomfortable."
Zhao Changqing quietly said to Chu Yu, "I have already given a large sum of silver, and half of my savings have been left." A few days ago, I actually received a lot of gifts, which were several hundred taels in total, and it was not a loss.
Chu Yu smiled, "Don't be so short-sighted. Uncle Zhao has firmly settled the position of a hundred households. These silver coins are nothing."
"I know that my father is the one who should take, and he never reaches out." Zhao Changqing smiled, "I only know the ways of being an official. Not to mention my father, I am the uncle in my family. He is a clerk in the prefect's office, and he is also a little bit rich every year. In the past, my uncle was idle at home, and my grandfather wanted face, but he didn't want his uncle to be an official. Now his uncle is doing well. He is honest and does not have many twists and turns, but his life is much more spacious than before."
"The traitors are so desperate to go to the future of officialdom. Their salary is limited, and the benefits are all beyond their salary." Zhao Changqing concluded.
“There are benefits, but there are naturally disadvantages.”
Zhao Changqing pursed his lips and said for a while, "Everything is the same, otherwise there would be no such thing as Sai Wengzhi. Being an official has both advantages and disadvantages, and being a people is even more uncomfortable. If everything goes well, I am afraid that the gods in the sky will not succeed."
Chu Yu couldn't help but smile, "You little girl, you say such unvigorous words."
Zhao Changqing glanced at him, "I am a young man."
Chu Yu closed the album and put it back in place. Seeing Zhao Changning and Su Bai running back, he went out with Zhao Changqing to have tea.
Chu Yu has a very good temper and said a lot to the two little guys. After staying for a while, Chu Yu said goodbye.
In the evening, Zhao Changqing said Chu Yu's words to Zhao Yong, saying, "It's true that we guessed. General Chu knew some of our family. Brother Chu said that the garrison was the land of the border towns, and the border towns were the territory of foreign soldiers, and they were different. General Chu had inquired about his father's character with Brother Chu, and later he ordered his father to make up for the shortage. Brother Chu said that as long as our family handled Song Qianhu properly, there would be no problem."
Zhao Yong touched Zhao Changqing's head and smiled, "Dad is the treasure of my daughter."
"Look at what my father said, I am not the only one I know about Sister Chu." Zhao Changqing smiled, "Dad still remembers that my mother had just given birth to Aning and Arong. My father and I went to Ping'an Temple to tell fortunes for them. That day I met General Chu. Dad was neither humble nor arrogant at that time, but he had a demeanor. I can't say that General Chu still remembers his father."
"This has been a long history."
"If the two families don't interact, they may forget it. Our two families have a lot of interactions, so General Chu is unlikely to forget it. Besides, if my father looks like Zhao Da next door on weekdays, it would be useless for me to know Sister Chu." Zhao Changqing smiled, "Anyway, this is Dad's fortune. Dad is born with a hundred households' fate! My mother was born with a wife, and I am a hundred girl."
As soon as he was promoted, Zhao Yong was already happy, and he couldn't help but laugh when he flattered Zhao Changqing like this.
