Chapter 129

The uncle is the real uncle, the aunt is the real aunt, and the cousin is the real cousin—

Zhao Changqing almost wanted to laugh out loud and ask: Why didn't anyone say that in his previous life? This book was updated simultaneously on Baidu Sozhaoji Novel Network.||

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Changqing ordered, "Madam Bai, arrange for a fast-legged boy to go to Guanxue to call Cousin Teng back. Then call Laifu to invite his second uncle over."

Mrs. Ling Er immediately objected, "Your cousin is still in school, wouldn't this delay your homework?"

Zhao Changqing said in a gentle voice, "If there is such a big deal at home, what's the point of delaying it for a day and a half. What's more, this matter is always something that requires uncle or cousin to come forward."

Mrs. Ling Er was red and swollen with tears in her eyes, and gritted her teeth and said, "Changqing, you are the young grandmother of the General's Mansion! Tell the Major General that he would first seize the reputation of the student named Lin, and let him know the few eyes of Prince Ma!"

Zhao Changqing was extremely disgusted and said calmly, "See what my aunt said, I have not yet been engaged to the general's house, so how dare I call myself a young grandmother? Is it a joke to others to hear it? It's the third sister's matter. After all, there is no such thing as a engagement with the Lin family. Is it good to spread it? Tell me, let's discuss a proper way and solve it quietly. After all, the third sister is already at the age of bride. If others know this, what should we do in fame?"

"But--" Mrs. Ling Er wanted to say something, Zhao Changqing interrupted her, "Auntie just listen to me. How can such a big thing be done with my uncle and cousin behind my back?"

Mrs. Ling Er considered that she was asking for help, so she would say nothing else.

Zhao Changqing had nothing to say with Mrs. Ling Er, and she didn't have much interest in comforting Mrs. Ling Er. Such people are the most arduous. They can climb up without a ladder without a ladder, and then they are still very enthusiastic. Mrs. Ling Er doesn't know how many unrestrained words they have to say!

Mrs. Ling's second wife is very flexible in daily life, but now she has suddenly had a bad situation. Seeing that Zhao Changqing looks no longer as intimate as usual, she blamed Zhao Changqing for adding a lot of airs and was too lazy to flatter Zhao Changqing, the two of them fell silent in the west wing.

When Ling's second uncle arrived first, Zhao Changqing stood up to greet him and smiled, "The second uncle is here."

When Ling Erwei saw his wife, he stamped his feet and sighed, "The third sister cried and made a fuss at home. You can't persuade her, why did you come to her sister's house?"

"Why am I here? You are not willing to stand up for your daughter! I'm here to find my niece, and my niece will definitely not sit idly!" Mrs. Ling Er shouted a few times.

Uncle Ling was helpless, "I don't know what's going on, what do you mean by this?"

"Why don't you know what's going on? It's been so many days, and I don't want to make a decision. If I hadn't been asking around, I wouldn't have known that the deceased demon of the Lin family had already made a marriage for Boy Lin!" Mrs. Ling's eyes were blazing, "I think we're dead!"

After all, in front of Zhao Changqing, Ling Erwei didn't want to quarrel with his wife, so she asked Zhao Changqing, "Changqing, you really made a joke. Is your mother not at home?" No matter how this happens, he shouldn't tell Changqing, an unmarried girl.

"Mother went to my uncle's house to see my second sister." Zhao Changqing said, "Uncle, please sit down. Why did I listen to what my uncle said differently from what my aunt said? What's going on?"

The white woman took the tea and left with a clue. Uncle Ling didn't have the heart to drink the tea. She sighed, "This is not because she was afraid of delaying Brother Hao's progress. She also wanted to make a better marriage. Last year, the two families agreed to make a decision after the scholar's trial. Now Brother Hao has won the scholar, and your aunt is also happily preparing a dowry for your cousin. I heard that Brother Hao had made a marriage for him when his father was there. Your aunt didn't believe it, so she went to ask someone else to inquire. This matter was really true. It was not someone else, but the cousin of Brother Hao's aunt's cousin Shao's. This matter was a mess..." Uncle Ling sighed. He finally saw his daughter a promising son-in-law, but in the blink of an eye, the matter turned out to be ruined again.

Zhao Changqing thought for a moment and said, "Then this matter is strange. If Mr. Lin and her aunt's cousin are real. Even if he doesn't know, does Mrs. Lin not know? If Mrs. Lin knows that Mr. Lin has a marriage, why would she still make a third cousin? My uncle thought about it, Mr. Lin and his cousin were classmates, and they had always had a good relationship. Mrs. Lin was sick, and his cousin even specially invited my husband to treat Mrs. Lin. We don't have to repay the kindness of the Lin family, but if Mrs. Lin had a marriage already, was Mrs. Lin deliberately playing tricks on us? No matter how confused a person is, he can't do such a thing?"

"I say the same, but I ask someone to inquire. It is indeed Mr. Lin who is close to his aunt's cousin." Uncle Ling was a little uncertain again.

Zhao Changqing asked, "Did the second uncle go and ask Mr. Lin?"

Uncle Ling sighed, "Just after I got inquired about this, your aunt started to make trouble. Where can I let me go to the Lin family to ask if I understand?"

Mrs. Ling Er interrupted with a fierce look, "It's not that I want to make trouble! If there is no shadow, who will talk about him!"

Zhao Changqing was impatient to reason with such a shrew and said directly, "I just asked my aunt one thing, what if the Lin family had any difficulties? What if the Lin family had a broken marriage first, and now seeing Mr. Lin's future, he would talk about the previous marriage? What if the Lin family was willing to marry my aunt? If the aunt refused to recognize the Lin family's marriage because of listening to some incidents, it would be simple. There was no matchmaker or hire, and he would start to get rid of it. If the aunt still wanted to marry the Lin family, why bother to turn against me now? It should be sat firmly to see if the Lin family really wanted to marry our family. If the Lin family was willing to do this marriage, it would be necessary to solve the problem on the other side by themselves; if the Lin family had no intention, it would not be too late to think about it."

Mrs. Ling Er had a natural agility in choosing interests. She seemed to have completely forgotten the harsh words she had made before and asked, "What can this be a problem? My niece doesn't know that Mr. Lin's aunt's family is a famous wealthy family in the border town. There is no wind and waves. Is it okay if someone uses his innocent daughter to pay him a poor boy?"

Zhao Changqing said, "This is even more strange. I heard that when Mrs. Lin was seriously ill, her cousin gave Mrs. Lin two ginseng to replenish Mrs. Lin. I have been to the Lin family. If Mrs. Lin's aunt's family is a famous wealthy family, and the two families had in-laws before, how could they watch the Lin family be so difficult?"

Mrs. Ling Er is not a fool. According to her intention, Lin Hao was a scholar on the first day and was hired on the next day. Lin had a lot of family affairs, and he delayed it for more than a month, but he still didn't see any movement in the Lin family. Mrs. Ling Er himself was a snobbish person who seeks profit and avoids harm, and he inevitably judges others by himself. The Lin family has been delayed in recruiting. After thinking about it, Mrs. Ling Er turned himself into a frightened bird. He listened to the wind and rain, and was ruthless. This was a terrible fight.

However, when Zhao Changqing said this, Mrs. Ling also felt suspicious. She glanced at her sleeve and said seriously, "It's still my niece who is smart. Why didn't I expect it before?"

Uncle Ling didn't know what to say, but fortunately he was always a face-to-face person, so he was speechless.

Mrs. Ling Er pushed him and said, "You go to the Lin family to take a look. If you bring some things, you will tell the Lin family that you heard some rumors. I wonder what the Lin family means? If the Lin family had a marriage already, we were not the ones who fought for a son-in-law with others. If this matter is false..." Mrs. Ling Er's eyes rolled, her lips curled up, and she sniffed a pair of swollen eyes. She snorted coldly, "If this matter is false, I would like to remind the Lin family. Brother Hao is a scholar after all, and she is always so rumored. Don't say that it will damage the reputation of other girls, it will not be good for Brother Hao's reputation."

It’s really hard for Mrs. Ling to come up with this kind of tentative trick in a while. Uncle Ling sighed, “Okay, there’s no reason to just come to the door if you don’t send a post. I’ve sent someone to send a post and just go to the door if you choose a date. Don’t make such a shocking mess, it’s not good to let people know. And the third sister, you should also take your temper. Look at Changqing, you are two years younger than her, you know everything and understand everything.”

Mrs. Ling Er got the idea, felt relaxed, and was happy to say something good to Zhao Changqing, laughing, "Who said no? If my niece hadn't reminded me, I almost did something wrong. My niece was smart, and this person who studied had a different mind."

Zhao Changqing said lightly, "Uncle, auntie has been awarded."

After a while, Mrs. Ling Er was thinking about her daughter at home, so she was about to get up to say goodbye. As soon as Ling Teng rushed over from school, she asked anxiously as soon as she entered the house, "Mom, what happened to her family?"

Mrs. Ling Er smiled so much that she pulled her son over and said, "My son, it's okay, I'm so anxious that I sweated in my forehead." As she said that, she was about to use a veil to wipe her son's sweat, but her veil was already wet. Ling Teng wiped the sweat himself. Seeing that her mother's eyes were red and swollen, she smiled relaxedly, and she was even more suspicious, "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Ling Er laughed, "I didn't understand the little thing at that time. Fortunately, your cousin reminded me, so I figured it out. Okay, since I came back, I'll have lunch at home and go to school. Are your sister still at home? Just go home with me."

Zhao Changqing knew that Ling Erwei and his family were going home and decided to discuss the matter again, so he did not leave any money and politely sent the person out.

Ling Teng hurriedly called the servant of the Zhao family home, thinking that something big happened at home. When he got home, he heard his mother say this, Ling Teng sighed, "Mom, why are you so impatient? Even if the Lin family really wants to break the marriage, our family will go to his house to reason with him openly. What's the matter with you looking for Sister Qing?"

Mrs. Ling Er said, "Changqing is now the young grandmother of the General's Mansion. I'll ask her to make the decision for your sister!"

"Mom, don't say that. Sister Qing and Mr. Chu have not yet been engaged. There are many grandmas who are grandmas. When people hear it, they will say that our family is frivolous." Ling Teng said, "Even if you are aunt, you won't say that outside. If you say this, you will make your aunt angry when you hear it."

"Okay, okay, I'm also anxious for a moment." Mrs. Ling Er said perfunctorily to her son and said with a smile, "Don't say, Changqing is really wise. When I heard about this, I was so angry that my eyes turned black. I wish I could chop Lin Hao with a kitchen knife! It's a good thing that didn't go to the Lin family was your aunt's house. Changqing reminded me that this matter must be inexplicable."

Ling Teng said, "This matter must not be simple. I know Lin Hao's character very well. He is not the villain who dislikes the poor and loves the rich. Mom just worry. I will go to the Lin family tonight and ask them openly. Mom, don't cry out. If you really get to the ears of others, it will make people laugh."

Mrs. Ling Er said, "This is related to your sister's reputation. How could I tell others! You have to ask clearly today. If the Lin family really has a different intention, we need to ask an explanation!"

"I know." Ling Teng sighed in his heart.

When Ling came back from his brother's house, he learned about Mrs. Ling's second wife coming to the house. Because he had not had a meal at his brother's house, Ling's return was quite early. Zhao Changqing had no intention of covering up Mrs. Ling. While serving his mother, he changed into homely clothes, and said, "But don't mention it. Fortunately, I didn't ask my grandmother to see it, otherwise I would have to scare my grandmother. Before my second aunt could figure it out, I asked me to tell Brother Chu that he had taken away Mr. Lin's student entitlement. I really don't know what to say?"

"Mr. Lin doesn't see much. Mrs. Lin often comes to our family to visit her. I don't believe Mrs. Lin can do such a thing. Later, I asked my second aunt in detail and realized that she had heard some gossips from others, and she started making trouble without hesitation." She turned to hold a cup of warm tea to Ling, and Zhao Changqing said, "What's going on is still unclear. The second aunt persuaded the third sister without saying anything, but the mother and daughter made a fuss together, asking the Lin family to know, but they have a long face."

Ling sighed a long time, sent out the maid in the room, and said to Zhao Changqing, "Your second aunt has been out of tune. Now she is old, and she is even more confused if she lives a peaceful life."

Zhao Changqing complained, "My mother didn't know the second aunt's tone. She was so angry that she even said to the young lady of the General's Mansion in front of me. Brother Chu and I have not yet been engaged, so she just told Mrs. Chu to know, and she had to think that our relatives are like the second aunt."

Ling's face darkened and he touched his daughter's delicate cheeks, "When I see your second aunt, I will definitely remind her! Even if I go out, when others talk about your marriage, I have to be humble. I have never seen her like this before, I just think I have little to do with it!"

Zhao Changqing asked, "Mother, what's wrong with the second sister?"

Ling sighed, "What can it be done? It's just to raise it at home. I see that she is so depressed that your eldest aunt always shed tears behind her back, and she doesn't dare to let your second sister see it, which makes her sad. It's still your fourth sister capable, and you can help your eldest aunt with housework at this age and comfort your second sister. It's better to live a few days."

Zhao Changqing didn't ask any more questions.

However, Mrs. Ling Er had a big fuss in the morning, and at night she got her son's letter and immediately turned sad to joy.

Ling Teng said, "I asked Brother Lin. Brother Lin said that when Uncle Lin was alive, he did make this marriage for him. At that time, Brother Lin's aunt's family, the Shao family, was not as rich as this. Later, Uncle Lin passed away, and the Lin family gradually became narrow-minded, but the Shao family got better and better and made a fortune. The Shao family had long been unhappy with this marriage. When Mrs. Lin was sick the previous year, Brother Lin came to borrow money and took ten taels of silver like a beggar. Brother Lin was so angry that he quit the Shao family. However, the Shao family did not expect that Brother Lin would become a scholar at this time, and thought he had a future and wanted to continue this marriage. Brother Lin told me that he was not a traitor. Mrs. Lin had already started to prepare betrothal gifts, but I was afraid it was not very generous, so I would ask our family not to mind. We should ask the matchmaker to come to propose marriage."

"There is such a shameless thing in the Shao family!" Mrs. Ling Er cursed first, and then said happily, "I knew that Brother Hao was not that villain, but Mrs. Lin's character, and I could trust her. It would be better to get engaged earlier, so that those villains would not let rumors spread again, which would delay Brother Hao's future."

Ling Teng smiled and asked, "My sister is okay?"

"Okay, okay, what else can I do? It's just a misunderstanding." Mrs. Ling's second wife was full of joy. She was embarrassed when she thought of her previous life, and said, "I heard that the Shao family is a famous wealthy family. After all, our family and the Lin family have no media or hired. Brother Hao can still stick to their promises, which shows that he is the best character!"

"Don't be anxious if you have any problems in the future. Just ask someone to come back to discuss it."

Mrs. Ling Er agreed with a smile.

I thought the matter had just passed like this, and on the eve of the Lin family's begging for the betrothal gift, Mrs. Ling was so angry that she was dizzy when Sister Ling San was so angry that she slapped Ling Sanjie twice, and said hatefully, "Why did I give birth to such a villain!"

Sister Ling lowered her head and muttered, "I was so angry that day."

"You're so angry that you can't throw that thing!" Mrs. Ling Er cursed.

Uncle Ling was trying out the newly made robe. He heard this and said, "What's wrong? Don't scold the third sister if you have anything to do." He will get engaged tomorrow.

"I can't do anything!" Mrs. Ling Er called her husband angrily, "Come and see the good things your daughter has done!"

Not only did Ling Er uncle go to Ling Sanjie's house, Ling Teng also went there. Mrs. Ling Er took a box containing broken jade and said, "Look! Look! This dead girl threw the ancestral jade bracelet given by Mrs. Lin!" At that time, Mrs. Lin gave it to her, and Mrs. Ling Er was originally holding it herself. Later, Lin Hao became a scholar, and Mrs. Ling Er gave the bracelet to her daughter to collect it properly.

Ling Erwei was also shocked and asked quickly, "Why did you fall?"

Ling Sanjie'er whispered, "That day, I heard from my mother that the Lin family had a marriage already, and she fell down when she was angry."

Mrs. Ling Er slapped her twice on the body and said angrily, "Even if the marriage is not done, this thing should be given to her! How dare you throw it!"

"I, I..." Ling Sanjie was speechless. She was so angry that she couldn't say anything. She was so angry that she could not think so much. She had already fallen anyway!

"You might as well just get angry and forget me!" Mrs. Ling Er rubbed her forehead and asked her husband weakly, "Can you find a similar one to make do with it first."

Uncle Ling was worried and said, "If it was gold, it would be possible to get a piece of money. It was jade. Where is the same jade in the world? What's more, it's something heirloom of others, and you can tell the truth at a glance."

Ling Teng felt deeply that he shouldn't have colluded with this marriage and said angrily, "It's time to get married yet, it's time to part with one beat."

Mrs. Ling Er jumped and shouted loudly, "What a bullshit! You are so depressed by the trivial matter! Okay, you both have your own way out! I have your own way!"

Ling Er’s uncle and his son went out. Ling Er’s uncle had no desire to try new clothes anymore. He called his son to the room and sighed, “Your sister has such a temper. You said, our family is not tolerant, who can tolerate her?”

Ling Teng said, "It's easy to get married, but it's time to live here..."

"There is always a way to live. Your mother's temper has not been through our whole life." Ling Erwei patted his son on the shoulder and smiled, "I will know when you live in the future. How can there be such perfect people? Everyone makes do with it, and they will make do with it in their whole life."

Listening to his father's words, Ling Teng felt: He didn't want to make do with this, he didn't want to make do with it at all.
