Chapter 94(1/2)
Zhao Changqing praised the person who was very good at doing things and received some praise. () Even when Ling went out, some people were compliments or inquire about Zhao Changqing. Ling said that he was modest and was secretly happy. He was smiling for several days.
However, Zhao Changqing was very calm because of Mr. Su's teachings, and was very humble to the outside world and did not show any pride. At that time, people saw that she was so steady at such a young age, and their evaluation of her was even higher.
Even Mrs. Chu said, "It's a pity that she has an ordinary background, otherwise she would be a good girl."
Chu Yue laughed, "I said that Sister Qing is good, and my mother didn't want to call her a praise person at the beginning."
Mrs. Chu smiled, "Although you often come and go, she is young, what if there is a mistake? This child is rarely steady."
Chu Yu said the opposite, "A little girl."
Chu Yue laughed, "Who is my mother very easy to praise? You'll tease your sister Qing."
Chu Yu peeled an orange and said leisurely, "I'm telling the truth. I'm just a little girl. Why can't I see that she's steady and steady?"
Mrs. Chu smiled, "What do you know? This person's temperament is born. He was steady when he was a child, and he was naturally steady when he was a big child. If he was a child, he would not be much better when he was a big child. Why, you don't like her? I see that every time she comes to our house, you will join in the fun."
Chu Yu slowly ate oranges, disagreed, "I was a beautiful baby when I was a child, but it was okay. Yuzhe's father's daughters came to A Yue, and I'm not going to get over there, so it would be a bad idea to make people misunderstand."
When Mrs. Chu saw that her son was in a position of measure, she didn't say much.
Zhao Changqing didn't know that even the Chu family had a discussion with her. She received a post from Zheng Miaoying and was about to go to the appointment.
Ling looked at her daughter and smiled, "It's not that there are new and good jewelry, put it on, it's too simple."
Zhao Changqing smiled, "The dress is newly cut this year, and the golden hairpin is also made by my mother. It is not simple. Don't worry, my mother, Jingshi Zheng has always been honest, and Sister Zheng is dressed very simply, so I can't go through a pearl and jade."
Ling had met Zheng Jiaying, and after thinking for a moment, she smiled and said, "This makes sense, go."
Zheng Miaoying was still greeting her in the atrium and had met Mrs. Zheng, who asked Zhao Changqing to talk to her room.
Zhao Changqing brought two small jars of hawthorn sauce that he made himself as a souvenir. Zheng Miaoying smiled, "A few days ago, I made hawthorn tangerine peel pills. My grandmother ate them on weekdays, which is very good."
The maid brought the tea, and Zhao Changqing smiled and took a sip of flower tea, saying, "Sister Zheng used to live in the south, the border town is in the north, and eat more meat. You have been here for a short time, so you don't have to accept the diet. Hawthorn also helps digestion, so it's okay to eat some on weekdays."
Zheng Miaoying smiled, "Now it's just a little doctor's tone."
Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's very simple."
Zheng Miaoying said, "It's a problem to call you here this time."
"What's up?"
"Do you still remember Brother Li?" Zheng Miaoying smiled. "He sent someone to deliver a lot of things to the border town, including two jars of wine and some southern fruits, but they were given to your house by name. Because we were delivered to my house together, we may have been missing for a long time, so we just called you over. We can still give you some things for a day."
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Young Master Li is so kind. He just did it casually at that time."
Zheng Miaoying smiled, "Since he has given it, you can just take it. The wine brewed by Brother Li's father is famous in the entire imperial capital."
Zhao Changqing asked, "Didn't Mr. Li's family be an official?" Could it be that it was brewing wine?
Zheng Miaoying smiled, "Uncle Li is a Hanlin, so this is considered a slut."
Zhao Changqing admired him very much and said, "Oh, he is a Jinshi like Uncle Zheng!"
Zheng Miaoying smiled, "My father was not better than Uncle Li during the imperial examination. Uncle Li was an official in the Hanlin area and was very noble."
Zhao Changqing exclaimed, "That's great, my grandfather is just a scholar, and he passed the exam for many years."
Zheng Miaoying said, "The imperial examination really depends on knowledge and luck."
The two of them talked for a while, and when they said goodbye, Zhao Changqing called Lai Fu and found another car before he took two jars of wine and two baskets of fresh fruit home.
Cause and fruit are rare, and the Zhao family all felt it was fresh. Ling smiled, "The things in the southern barbarians' realm are strange. It is hard to get so far away. What kind of fruit is this? I don't recognize it."
Old Mrs. Zhao was a little old and knowledgeable, and laughed, "This big ball is called Yuzi, and the smaller one is Huangguo. After dinner, let's try it together."
Now Ling is becoming more and more respectful to the old lady, and smiles and flatters her, "I don't recognize any of them."
Mrs. Zhao said, "I also ate it once or twice when I was young. The south is humid and hot, which is different from ours. It is transported from thousands of miles away and the price is not high. Pick some and give it to my in-laws to try it."
Zhao Changqing changed into homely clothes and smiled, "This fruit is rare, there are two jars of wine. Although the jar is not big, it is brewed by Brother Li's father. Brother Li's father is Hanlin Master."
"Oh, Mr. Li turns out to be the son of Mr. Hanlin!" Ling exclaimed repeatedly and asked, "Master Hanlin can still make wine?"
Zhao Changqing said, "Sister Zheng said this is a cheesy, like the Hanlin men, some love flowers and some love wine, so elegant."
There are many wine shops in the border town brewing wine, so how could Ling feel that they are elegant? Only when this happened to Master Hanlin, Ling agreed with his daughter's point of view and said solemnly, "Then you can't drink this wine easily. I will send it to your cousin in two pots. I'll ask him to taste the wine brewed by Master Hanlin to get some luck with Wenquxing, so that he can get the Jinshi master in the future!"
Zhao Changqing couldn't help laughing, "My cousin must be grateful to his mother if he passed the Jinshi."
Ling smiled, "Do you thank me or not, I also hope that he will be well. This is a good start."
Zhao Changqing smiled, "We don't see many fruits in the south. Although they are sold in the border town, they are very expensive. Just now, we are about to start giving New Year gifts. We put a few of them in the introduction time and try them all from relatives and friends."
Ling knew that Zhao Changqing had always been a generous temper and laughed, "That's good."
Before the Zhao family could send New Year gifts to Ling Er uncle Ling’s house, Ling Er uncle’s family came to give New Year gifts first.
Since Zhao Changqing was the praise of Chu Yue and the wedding ceremony, Mrs. Ling Er sent her niece Li home a little before the New Year, prepared the New Year gift early, and waited for Ling Teng to rest in school, so she rushed to the Zhao family.
Now, Mrs. Ling's attitude towards Zhao Changqing has changed a lot. She has said many good things about Zhao Changqing at home, and said to her husband privately, "You have a good vision, and the girl Qing is really getting more and more promising. Now when I go out and hear people mention her, I praise you."
The niece is promising, so Ling Er's uncle is naturally happy and teased, "It's rare."
Mrs. Ling Er looked at her husband, "I'm not blind. Now I've turned around, and it's all a misunderstanding. Alas, I'm an elder, don't even have such a mind? I figured it out. We Asen don't even have a brother, and we will have to carry two houses on one shoulder in the future. The burden is heavy. We must find him a wife who knows the foundation and is capable."
Ling Erwei smiled, "Please keep this in mind. The children are still young and Aseng is the time when studying is important. Don't let him be distracted by these things."
Mrs. Ling agreed seriously and prepared the New Year gift for the Zhao family with great care.
Although Ling Erwei's family came earlier than in previous years, Ling was also very happy. He went to see Mrs. Zhao first, and the group went to Ling's house to talk.
Uncle Ling asked, “Isn’t my brother-in-law at home?”
Ling smiled, "I'm busy all day long. I'm going to send the New Year gift to Song Qianhu today. I guess I'll be back in the afternoon."
Mrs. Ling Er laughed, "It's a good thing to be busy."
The maid brought the tea and Ling smiled, "He is busy with something, and he is busy with nothing. Aseng's school exam is about to take the exam, why haven't he studied his homework at home?"
Ling Teng smiled, "I learn more on weekdays. If I don't spend this day and half, my grandfather also asks me to combine work and rest on weekdays. Don't worry, aunt, I know what I know."
Ling had always been pleased with this nephew and smiled, "That's good." He asked Ling Sanjie a few more words and asked Ling Er's second wife a smile, "I heard Changqing say that Miss Liang is visiting the second sister-in-law's house. Why didn't Sister Liang come with me? I'm not an outsider here."
Mrs. Ling Er laughed, "It's the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year is coming. Her mother asked her to go back. I can't keep her anymore, so I'll send your second brother to her back."
Ling smiled, "This is also what it should be."
Mrs. Ling obviously did not talk about Sister Liang's interest. She praised the Zhao sisters, especially Zhao Changqing, who was so kind and warm. She held Zhao Changqing's hand and praised him from head to toe. "I became more and more promising. At first, I thought you were a little baby, and I was a big girl in a blink of an eye." She said to Ling, "My sister was a handsome guy when she was young. When she arrived at Changqing, she would add a more word than her sister back then." This was not entirely a compliment to Zhao Changqing, Zhao Changqing was indeed outstanding.
Ling said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't praise her like this. She is very ordinary. Many ladies in other families are better than her." Of course, her daughter is much better than Ling Sanjie. Even if Zhao Changqing does not dress up, she will compare the carefully decorated Ling Sanjie three streets with just a home-style skirt.
"Oh, now when I go out, I often hear people mention Qing's girl, and they praise her. My second aunt also has a gleam on her face." Mrs. Ling smiled and said, "I heard that the lady of the General's Mansion and the hairpin are the ones who praise us Qing's mansion, right?" Due to the different classes, Mrs. Ling's news was much slower. This is also one of the reasons why Mrs. Ling immediately decided to abandon Sister Liang. Sister Liang knows how to cook and cook again, and is not familiar with these official families! Zhao Changqing is different. She has a friendship with the lady of the General's Mansion, and she can't help her son in the future!
Ling smiled, "It's just a coincidence."
Mrs. Ling Er asked gossip, "Changqing, what is the general's and the wedding ceremony? Is it lively?"
Zhao Changqing smiled, "I have never been a praise person before, and I can't be nervous. I can't care whether it's lively or not. I just keep afraid of something wrong. Fortunately, God blessed me and I haven't let down Sister Chu's trust."
Mrs. Ling Er smiled and sighed, "You have been a capable child since childhood, and you are better than your sisters. When your third sister and your hairpin are in the next year, we cannot compete with the general's mansion, and we still have to hold a hairpin ceremony. Is it good to ask you to be the praise then?"
Zhao Changqing smiled and dealt with Mrs. Ling Er, "This is my second aunt who likes me, of course."
Zhao Rong knew that Mrs. Ling Er was snobbish, and when she saw this situation, she added fuel to the fire, "Mom, don't we have fresh fruits from the south? Why not take them out and ask my uncle, aunt, cousin and cousin to taste them together."
Ling smiled, "Yes, it's your children who have a good memory. If you don't mention it, I forgot." He hurriedly asked Bai Woman to cut the grapefruit, and explained the reason to the Zhao family. Ling smiled, "This fruit is just rare. Is there two jars of wine that were brewed by the Hanlin Master of the Hanlin Academy in the imperial capital? When I heard that, no one called to drink it. I was thinking of giving some to Brother Teng first. After drinking it during the Chinese New Year, I would get some of the Hanlin Master's literary talent, so I can take the lead in the imperial examination in the future."
Mrs. Ling Er was amazed, "When did my sister recognize such an amazing person? If it is convenient, can I ask Brother Teng to come and invite me to have an appointment?"
Ling smiled, "Where are people in the imperial capital, the Hanlin Academy is the imperial capital yamen, and those who serve as officials in it are all Jinshi masters."
Ling Teng explained to his mother, "After the spring exam, in addition to the top three, the rest of the Jinshi will also take the exam, and those with the best grades will be admitted to the Hanlin. If the grades are not good, they will be directly sent to the outside world. Those who can enter the Hanlin are all well-educated people."
Mrs. Ling then understood a little, and became more and more happy, saying, "That's really amazing, the wine brewed by Wenquxing. Thank you for thinking about Aseng. Ah Teng will be on the list of gold tomorrow. I'll ask him to kowtow to my sister."
Ling smiled, "I'm just such a nephew, so I naturally think of Aseng."
Ling was definitely treating Ling Teng sincerely. When she thought of something, she said to Zhao Changqing, "Didn't you say that the young master of the Zheng Censor's family was also studying in the official school? You are familiar with Miss Zheng, and you like Miss Zheng, and ask Miss Zheng. Are there any tricks for the official school exam? Your cousin is about to take the official school exam next year."
Zhao Changqing really didn't expect that Ling's name would be mentioned. Even if she was reluctant, she did not refuse. She smiled and said, "Okay, when I see Sister Zheng again, I will ask her to ask Mr. Zheng."
Mrs. Ling Er was very happy. At this time, she no longer cared about the holiday with Zhao Changqing in the past. She held Zhao Changqing's hand and said happily, "That's great. Changqing, my aunt will give you this matter!"
Zhao Changqing's expression remained unchanged, and he still smiled calmly, "I didn't expect it in the past, otherwise my aunt would have no need to say that I would have asked Sister Zheng long ago. With my cousin's talent, there would be no problem in entering school. However, if you can be familiar with some exam procedures, you will naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort."
After hearing what Zhao Changqing said, the second wife Ling looked at Zhao Changqing with a look closer than her own daughter Ling Sanjie. She laughed loudly and said, "If you don't say that those who are studying are knowledgeable, this is true! You will know when you look at your niece!"
Mrs. Ling became more and more praised by Zhao Changqing as nothing in the sky. Ling couldn't bear to listen anymore and smiled, "Changqing will take your sisters to your house to play."
Mrs. Ling Er laughed, "Go together, I'll tell your aunt something." In fact, she had nothing to do with her seriousness and had to tell Ling that she would send her son to her, just to make the two closer. Of course, when the children went out, she could inquire about the situation of Zheng Jingshi's family with Ling.
Ling Erwei's family had lunch at Zhao's family, and Fang Huan said goodbye happily and left.
Mrs. Ling Er couldn't help but say to her husband in the car, "You are still visionary, and you are really capable."
Uncle Ling chuckled, "Worry to be quiet."
Mrs. Ling Er smiled and planned, "Let's talk about it when you go home."
When she got home, Mrs. Ling Er didn't tell her husband about Zhao Changqing's experience. She pulled her son first and asked, "How are you playing with your sisters? You are the brothers, please give in to them."
A smart person like Ling Teng would not feel that his mother had changed dramatically with Zhao Changqing. He smiled and said, "Don't mother know that my sisters and I are the best. Don't say that Qing's sister Rong is young, even if she is the eldest, second and younger sisters, I will take care of her."
