Chapter 14 Invitation
The next day, Mrs. Ling Er sent an old lady named Li from her family to the Zhao family, saying that she was for Zhao Changqing to eat, and said something apologized inside and out.
Zhao Changqing did not give Li Po’s steps according to his feelings, but simply said tactfully, "Thank you, my second aunt for thinking about me, and I'll give me fruits to eat! You'll go back and say hello to my second aunt on my behalf. As for the third cousin, don't mention it. I have already vowed not to deal with her again! She has nothing to do with me. If I don't do this, I don't know that she is such a person! Speaking of which, I have to thank her for giving me the opportunity to see her true face so that I can gain a memory in the future, less fooling her, and less suffer her losses!" After saying that, Zhao Changqing ignored Li Po’s and left Ling's house directly.
Mrs. Li looked at Ling in embarrassment and smiled apologized, "Mrs., the third sister really knows that she is wrong. Yesterday our second wife punished the third sister, otherwise we would have to let the third sister come to apologize to Miss Qing in person today."
Zhao Changqing said harsh words and turned around and left. Ling was already displeased, but Zhao Changqing was not good at the face of Mrs. Li, and then smiled and said, "Every child is inseparable from noisy. Don't ask your second wife to take care of the little things. If you give something, it's obvious that Changqing has such a temper. She is young and will turn around in two days. Her relatives' cousin will be fine in a few days."
Mrs. Li quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said repeatedly, "What the aunt is saying is that the old lady in the family is always thinking about her and Miss Qing. She often talks about Miss Qing, and treats Miss Qing even more with her sisters at home."
Ling's belly is getting older and has little energy. After dealing with Mrs. Li, she sent her back.
When Mrs. Li left, Ling asked the white woman coldly, "Where is Changqing?"
"I just saw the eldest girl go to the old lady's yard." Bai Woman smiled and persuaded, "The eldest girl is young and has not yet calmed down. She is a straightforward person, so she said a few angry words. After a few days, the eldest girl can figure it out without the wife's persuasion."
Ling sighed, "I really don't know who she has followed her temper. She has such a big temper and will never remember any trivial matters for the rest of her life?"
Bai Woman smiled, "This capable person is a bit arrogant when he meets. Although our eldest girl is young, I always see that she is better at speaking and doing things than me. When I saw the old man at the age of three, I told Lao Nu that the eldest girl will definitely be a capable person in the future." The people in the border town are strong, and the beauty of weak Liu Fufeng is not popular. Ling is quite picky about Zhao Changqing, but Bai Woman. Until Zhao Changqing held her to the old lady, she always took care of her. Therefore, she was quite affectionate.
Ling waved his hand, "What can I do or not? I just hope she is obedient and let me worry less."
Ling had something to do in his mind, so he would never talk to her husband at night.
Zhao Yong laughed, "Where is the reason for quarrel between children? When it comes to telling her, her second aunt is too careful."
Ling said angrily, "Isn't this because my second sister-in-law sent someone to deliver fruits because she was afraid that Changqing would be wronged? But Changqing still insisted on her reluctance."
"That's because the girl hasn't calmed down yet, it will be fine in two days." Zhao Yong leaned on the couch and touched his wife's round belly. He didn't take it seriously. Anyway, his children were not at a disadvantage, so there was nothing to pay attention to.
Ling pushed him for a moment, "You know that if you just spoil her, you are a cousin. Do you really want to indulge her to be angry?"
Zhao Yong finally said, "Oh, then I'll talk to Changqing after searching for the flood."
When Zhao Yong went to the old lady's yard to talk, he mentioned to Zhao Changqing, "Your second aunt is here to deliver things, and you must not ignore the face of the elders. From now on, you can say a few good words and fool them."
Ling shook her husband with a veil, "Is this also called teaching children?" He said to Zhao Changqing, "Being open-minded is not a big deal. You are all children among relatives, and you must be flirted with them. If you always care about this, you will not be able to make friends in the future."
Zhao Changqing said, "I am not not not giving my second aunt a face. If I forgive my third cousin too easily, I am afraid that she will think I am easy to bully and will gain a better future!"
Ling couldn't help but smile and said, "Who dares to bully you? You are so powerful, even if your third cousin dares not offend you again in the rest of your life."
Zhao Changqing nodded, "It's best." She changed her voice and said extremely cleverly without waiting for Ling to get angry, "Besides, I'm not just for myself. My mother is about to give birth to a younger brother. If I'm always bullied by others, my younger brother will be younger than me in the future, then wouldn't it be easier to be bullied! Will we siblings be bullied in the future? Mother, I just have to teach my third cousin a lesson? Did my mother forget that she pinched my arm last time!"
Ling thought she was not a stupid person, so she said to Zhao Changqing in silence. Zhao Yong laughed and patted his wife's hand, "It's the children's business. Look at how long our daughter thinks, even her brother's business, and the siblings will get close to each other in the future."
Zhao Changqing said proudly, "This means that people have no long-term plans, they will have immediate worries."
Zhao Yong praised, "I didn't read the book in vain. Is it good to buy you snacks from Nanxiangyuan tomorrow?"
"Okay!" Zhao Changqing responded loudly, leaned intimately beside his father, and asked, "Dad, why are you always coming back so late now? Are you very busy at the ward station?"
Zhao Yong touched his daughter's head and smiled, "The new General Chu needs to rectify the garrison. The new official takes office for three fires. If he is not busy, he has to pretend to be busy."
Zhao Changqing asked keenly, "General Chu? Is the new general's surname Chu?"
"Inquiry what this does."
Zhao Changqing said honestly, "During the birthday party of the ancestors of the Zhu family, I met an older sister, who was also surnamed Chu. Sister Chu said that her father was Chu Qianhu, who was newly transferred from the south."
Zhao Yong smiled, "Oh, Chu Qianhu is the temporary position of general, but it is actually the same as general. This word "dai" can be removed in a short time."
Ling Shiyuan was dissatisfied with her husband and daughter. He heard this and immediately became interested and said, "Oh, have you seen the daughter of General Chu's family?"
"Just meet once."
Ling smiled, "You are growing up now, so you can make more friends when you go out. Look, you always don't like your third cousin. I heard that she met many ladies at the Zhu family's birthday party."
Zhao Changqing covered his mouth and laughed secretly. Ling frowned, "What the hell are you doing?"
"I'm afraid that my mother will be unhappy if I say it."
Ling sighed, "It's really hard to raise one of you than to raise three in other people's homes. Don't beat around the bush when talking to your mother."
Zhao Changqing said, "My third cousin told me yesterday that Sister Chu is a silly girl!"
Ling choked and said, "These three girls are really..."
Zhao Yong laughed, "Children, there are also some straightforward things."
Ling said hurriedly, "Yes. Your cousin has such a straightforward temper."
When it comes to the adoptive daughter, Ling Sanjie and Ling are indeed very similar in some aspects.
Especially when the Zhao family received a post from the Chu family, the Chu family sent a wife over. The wife was quite polite and said with a smile, "My girl said that since the last time the old lady of the Zhu family parted, she missed the eldest girl of the noble family very much. She always wanted to invite the eldest girl over to talk, but she was born to my elders who had just arrived at the border town. The mansion was busy and had not been cleaned up yet, so it was difficult to invite the eldest girl rashly. Now the mansion is complete, and my girl comes to ask, "My daughter will have free time tomorrow, and my girl wants to invite the eldest girl of the noble family over to talk."
Ling smiled and said, "She is a child at home and she just plays every day, and nothing is wrong."
The wife smiled and said, "So, I will come to pick up the eldest girl of the noble mansion tomorrow morning and ask to send the eldest girl back in the afternoon. I wonder if my wife will allow it?"
Ling was so happy that she was so scared that she saw her teeth and there was nothing she could not agree.
After sending the Chu family's maids away, Ling was busy calling Zhao Changqing to the front, looking at her with a smile and not talking. This was definitely the most intimate and pleasing time since Zhao Changqing was born. However, Zhao Changqing showed Ling a little scared and couldn't help but ask, "Mother, is there anything wrong with you to ask me?"
Ling smiled and pulled Zhao Changqing to her and handed her the post sent by the Chu family. The smile on her face could not be hidden. "The eldest girl from General Chu's mansion sent you a post and asked you to talk tomorrow. Since you have known each other for a long time, why did you tell your mother that she had only met once? It's too late for your mother to be happy if you can make friends."
Zhao Changqing opened the post and looked at the corners of his lips slightly raised, "I just said a few words in the house. Perhaps many people only speak the local dialect of our border towns. Sister Chu doesn't understand our local dialect very much. I can speak the official dialect of the imperial capital, so she talked to me. I didn't expect her to ask me to go to her house to play." She also likes Chu Yue very much.
Ling smiled, "Oh, where do you still speak official words?"
Zhao Changqing looked innocent, "When I go out, I often see merchants from the imperial capital coming to the border town. They just speak official language and it is not difficult to learn. Who knows it will use it?"
"Yes, this is fate." Ling told Zhao Changqing softly, "I'll ask Mrs. Bai to accompany you tomorrow. She knows a lot. After all, it's the general's house. Be cautious when you go there, don't be rude."
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Madam Bai is used to being with her mother. She has a body and can't live without her in everything. Just let Liu'er follow me. When you go to the Zhu family, Liu'er often follows you, and you never make any mistakes. Don't worry, mother, you will have more time to go out in the future. It's also called Liu'er to train and gain some knowledge."
Ling's family was no longer irresponsible, and worried about another matter, saying, "What should you bring when you go to the general's mansion for the first time?" You can't ask your daughter to visit the family empty-handedly. It's too cheap and too expensive, the Zhao family didn't. If it were said that Ling's family was also a person who was used to being a family, but because the general's mansion was too high, he lost his mind for a moment.
Zhao Changqing said, "Since Sister Chu invited me, if I really brought Jinzhu Yinbao to her house, I would lose my touch, and our house didn't have it. I just asked the kitchen to steam two plates of snacks, I'll take it there."
Ling was a little hesitant, "Will it be too simple?"
"Mom, don't worry, her family is already in the general's house, what are you going to have? Besides, if you have to prepare generous gifts every time you walk around, it's not the intention of a friend." Zhao Changqing said, "I've told her about our family's situation, and her maid has also come to deliver invitations. Since even the carriage is ready to pick me up, we naturally know the conditions of our family, so we don't have to pretend to be fat."
Ling stared at Zhao Changqing for a long time, and suddenly sighed, "I used to think you were still young, but now I look at you, I am really sensible." He also reminded Zhao Changqing, "Tomorrow, I will wear a new dress, the skirt with a furry collar and cuffs. It's cold today, and it's most suitable to wear sweaters." Her daughter is so dedicated and able to know the girl from the General's Mansion. Ling is already planning to make more beautiful clothes for Zhao Changqing.
Ling's personality is like this and he is never stingy towards capable people.
Perhaps Ling never expected that his daughter would climb a big tree one day, and when her husband came back in the evening, he would talk to her husband. Zhao Yong was also slightly surprised and then smiled, "It seems that our daughter is quite close to Miss Chu."
"Not that." Ling smiled, "I'm always worried that she is too quiet and has no friends."
"What are you worried about? My daughter is aware of it. She and Li Huaer are good."
Ling raised her eyebrows, "How is this the same?"
Zhao Yong laughed, "This family is not always rich or declining. Zhao Da is a bad guy. A few children at home are good. It is not without a chance to make a comeback after a few years. However, General Chu's family is a high-ranking family. Although I am happy that my daughter is in love with Miss Chu, the gap between the family is too big. If my daughter suffers some grievances, I am not going to be incompetent as a child. Oh, I am really worried."
Ling disagreed, "You just said that she knew what she said, and now she said this again. Don't worry, who can tell her to suffer a loss is rare. I see that a smart person like Sanya has already made trouble for your daughter twice. In the end, Sanya still has a mute and can't say that she has suffered." Ling is not a fool, although she often fools Zhao Changqing with verbal confusion, she can always understand after thinking about it.
Zhao Yong couldn't help laughing, "Realistically, it's hard for me to say such things as a uncle, but the third girl is the same. Why do you always come to tease Changqing?"
"That's why I said you don't have to worry about this unnecessary heart. Changqing just looks small and has a lot of ideas in his heart." Ling's heart has already attributed Zhao Changqing to a capable person. After all, in Ling's eyes, Zhao Changqing is of course very capable when he catches a lady from the General's Mansion to be friends. Ling's family is already thinking about when to remind Zhao Changqing that if he has the chance, it would be better to let Zhao Changqing know more noble ladies from the family.
Ling thought about it and made up countless things, but Old Mrs. Zhao privately told Zhao Changqing that two words were useful, "Walking according to etiquette, not being arrogant or impatient, not being humble or timid. Not only when you go to the general's house, but you will go to other people's houses, the same is true."
