Old Mrs. Zhao likes to take Zhao Changqing with her when she goes out. When Zhao Changqing is younger, she often takes her out. In the words of Old Mrs. Zhao, go out more and walk around, so that the girl will not be timid and have a demeanor.

Although the Zhao family is just a small family, Old Mrs. Zhao still guided Zhao Changqing very carefully.

As soon as Mrs. Zhao and Changqing arrived, Grandma Zhu Yuan took it out first and smiled, "Old ancestors were looking forward to my aunt and Changqing early in the morning."

Old Mrs. Zhao asked with a smile, "Is my mother in good health?"

Old Mrs. Zhu was already listening to the voice in the room and laughed, "I'm very good, but you don't come, so I'm so panicked."

Old Mrs. Zhu was covered with the best silver frost and charcoal, which was very warm. Old Mrs. Zhu sat on the soft couch with a smile on her face, with several great-granddaughters chatting and laughing around her.

Old Mrs. Zhao was blessed with a blessing, and Old Mrs. Zhu laughed, "Don't be so polite, sit down."

The little maid was very clear and moved the cushioned chair with a soft-up hand in front of Mrs. Zhu. Old Mrs. Zhao sat down, and Zhao Changqing greeted Mrs. Zhu again.

Old Mrs. Zhu laughed, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and the girl Qing is becoming more and more handsome."

Zhao Changqing laughed, "Thank you for your praise from our ancestors." He went to see the aunt Yuan, the aunt Yang of the Lobby, as well as the eldest daughter of Yuan, Zhu Ling, the second daughter of the concubine, Zhu Xi, and the eldest daughter of the second wife Zhu Chan.

The sisters Zhu Ling are the oldest, and are already eight years old. Zhu Xi is seven years old. Zhu Chan is the youngest, only five years old, and is slightly older than Zhao Changqing.

Zhao Changqing is often here and is familiar with their sisters. Everyone soon started chattering. At this time, the benefits of studying are revealed. The Zhu family is a family of scholars. Boys are going to learn the clan when they are six years old. Girls will also ask female teachers to teach their homework at home, recognize some characters, be influenced by piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and learn some rules and etiquette.

Zhu Changqing also studied since childhood, so he naturally had a common topic at this time, so he talked about reading. The only disadvantage is that Zhao Changqing only learned to read Zhao Yong's old books in the past, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Old Mrs. Zhao couldn't teach her.

Their young sisters were talking, and Yuan held a plate of fruit and asked Old Mrs. Zhao with a smile, "Aunt, our city's general has been replaced, do you know?"

Old Mrs. Zhao smiled, "Why don't you know this? Changqing's father was very leisurely in the garrison. He has not been busy until dark in recent days."

Yuan laughed, "Oh, my aunt hasn't been here for more than a month. On the day my ancestor's birthday, I made a big joke. General Feng went down before. General Chu came to the border town to take over General Feng's position. He was originally a thousand households. He first served as the general, but he was not the same as the general. General Chu was really low-key. The ancestors' birthday party reported the title of Qianhu when they came to pay their birthday. I was thinking, I recognized all the six thousand households in our border town, why did Chuhu come out again? It was also busy that day, and I didn't think much about it, so I fooled it. Now, thinking about it, didn't you neglect Mrs. Chu? A few days ago, I accompanied our wife to the general's house to listen to the opera. Fortunately, Mrs. Chu was generous and said nothing."

Old Mrs. Zhao laughed, "It's not a negligence. My mother didn't think of having a big birthday, but she just came with a lot of people, so she just put a few tables of wine. At that time, General Chu had just arrived and wanted to come and join in the fun. If he really reported to his house, everyone knew that this was the new general, and it would inevitably flatter him. Wouldn't he be the winner? Otherwise, if he was really blamed, he wouldn't invite you to listen to the opera."

Old Mrs. Zhu laughed, "I say that too, she is a careful person."

Yuan smiled, "I'm an old habit, I think more about everything. The twelfth lunar month is the birthday of the young master of the general's house. It's said that the general's wife is really a blessing. She gave birth to such a pair of outstanding twins, and she looks exactly like a tiny figure. This year, she is exactly ten years old. She must do it all year round. I heard that I have to hold two days of drinking, so I have sent a post home. My aunt will not come today, and I will also come to pay my respects in a few days. I will ask Changqing by the way. I heard that Miss Chu is in love with you. Do you know her preferences?"

Old Mrs. Zhao smiled, "You really know how to find someone. How old is Qing's girl? How can she know?"

Yuan smiled, "What are you polite to me? If other gifts are ready, only children should prepare something that their children like for their birthdays. I heard that Miss Chu has invited Changqing to play. Changqing is a smart person. If she knows that Miss Chu has any preferences, she will tell her aunt, but she will help her a lot."

Old Mrs. Zhao laughed, "It was a few days ago that Miss Chu asked Changqing to go out for fun. She was so stupid and stupid, so thanks to the fact that she didn't dislike her."

Yuan smiled, "Look at what my aunt said, Changqing is not stupid. No matter how stupid a smart girl is, there is no stupid in this world. Come, Changqing, let me tell my aunt."

Zhao Changqing blinked and asked in confusion, "Auntie, how do you know that Sister Chu invited me? I haven't told you yet?"

Yuan smiled, "It's not what outsiders said. Your uncle's cousin said when he was playing with Sister Luan from the third aunt's house. Sister Luan came to find Sister Ling again, and I happened to hear it."

Zhao Changqing said "Oh" and said honestly, "Sister Chu likes to eat fruits from the south. She praised oranges for their deliciousness during the birthday party of our ancestors."

She knew this, and Yuan asked with a smile, "Changqing, is the General's Mansion beautiful?"

Zhao Changqing tilted his head and smiled, "It's not as beautiful as the house of our ancestors."

Old Mrs. Zhu laughed, "You are just sweet-mouthed. Since you are in love with Miss Chu, this is your fate. You must have a good relationship." Being able to invite Zhao Changqing alone means that Miss Chu likes Zhao Changqing very much. Everyone has a relationship with each other and cannot be forced.

Yuan smiled, "Then Miss Chu must have posted a post to Changqing too. Go back and take a look. If your car is inconvenient, you can go with your aunt's car and your sisters at that time."

Zhao Changqing said, "My father is just a general flag. According to the rules, he doesn't even have the qualifications to give gifts to the general's mansion. If I can know Sister Chu, it's all because of the ancestors' birthday. I think she may not invite me to celebrate her birthday."

In fact, Yuan was always a little jealous in his heart at first. Last time, she didn't know how to treat Mrs. Chu well, and even when she was waiting for Chu Yue, she didn't tell her daughter to treat her well. However, Zhao Changqing had some luck and turned to the Chu family's attention. Although she knew that she was a little angry, Yuan always felt uncomfortable. Now that he heard Zhao Changqing say this, Yuan also thought about the Zhao family's family and couldn't help but smile, "You kid, at such a young age, think too much." Then he put aside this matter and stopped mentioning it.

Old Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Changqing accompanied Old Mrs. Zhu to say goodbye after lunch. Old Mrs. Zhao went home and sent Zhao Yong back to her yard to rest, and then changed her clothes under Liu'er's service. After Zhao Changqing also changed into a cotton robe, Liu'er brought tea. Old Mrs. Zhao took a sip of hot tea and couldn't help but sigh. Zhao Changqing asked with a smile, "Grandma, why did you sigh?"

Old Mrs. Zhao sent Liu'er down and said, "Looking at your Aunt Yuan's appearance, it's really hard to say what to say."

Zhao Changqing pursed her lips and smiled, "She is nothing more than a sceptical act of Sister Chu and I have a good relationship with me. How can I blame me for this? There were too many ladies at that time, and Sister Ling and Sister Xi could not handle it at all. Even if I knew Sister Chu's identity, could Sister Ling leave other ladies behind and talk to Sister Chu that day?"

"Besides, if Sister Chu was talking to the daughter of the prefect, Aunt Yuan would probably not be so sour and unstoppable. She just felt that our family was a bit lower and was not worthy of dealing with the general's mansion, which was a big advantage for her family." Zhao Changqing smiled, "Grandmother doesn't have to be angry. After all, everyone is benefiting from the ancestors, what does it have to do with her? Now that the ancestors are here, everyone is walking around. If the ancestors are gone, she will always be ashamed of others and are too lazy to walk around with her."

Old Mrs. Zhao hugged Zhao Changqing in her arms and said with a smile, "You are young, you are used to speaking adults. You are sensible, but you are always childish."

Old Mrs. Zhao said softly to Zhao Changqing, "When relatives and friends get along, how can they never interact with each other if they are disagreeable? Think about it, who doesn't have his own temper? Even a child like you is a sensible person, you can't do a little at home. People are nothing more than being in harmony with their temper and having more contact. If you don't match your temper, you just have less contact."

"Besides, even if we have fewer contacts, we can't make trouble. As long as we are not distant, it's enough."

Zhao Changqing said, "Sometimes I understand, but I am so angry. I'm just talking to Aunt Yuan, but I'm always a junior. Even if my grandmother is not her relative's aunt, she is also an elder. Seeing Aunt Yuan's appearance, she looks like we are poor relatives who have gone to Qiufeng, and I don't know how to respect my grandmother at all."

Mrs. Zhao cleaved her hair and said with a smile, "You are a child who is very arrogant. In fact, it's not bad to fight the autumn wind. We have already gone to fight the autumn wind." The old lady said slowly, "Your grandfather went there early. When he passed away, your father was as big as you. The women in our border town were not willing to keep their integrity. But I was thinking about your grandfather's goodness and were unwilling to find a stepfather for the child. It was so difficult at that time. I was a woman who couldn't farm and plant anything but embroidery. Your father was young and he was not as smart as you when he was a child. I wanted to take care of him and couldn't do much embroidery work.

I can only live by pawning a dowry. My dowry is limited. When one item is less, I feel strong in my heart when your father is older, and I am willing to ask him to study and learn. But there is no money for studying at home. After two years of hardship, no one cares about the shameless ones. I bit the bullet and take your father to the door to pay my respects to his mother. When she saw me, she sighed and talked for a while, leaving us mother and son to have a meal, gave me fifty taels of silver, and asked your father to go to the clan to study. Think about it, this is how my relatives can do this. If there were unhappy things in the past, the bloodline was still there."

Zhao Changqing nodded, "I heard that our fur shop was also bought by our ancestors?"

"Yes." said Mrs. Zhao, "I remember clearly that your father was only fifteen years old at that time and had just gone to the garrison. I used to pay my respects to your great-grandmother every month. Your father had a job and always earned a job, and he was sensible and filial to me. I mentioned to your great-grandmother, and after hearing this, she said that your father had grown up and we had no possessions at home, so he gave me the fur shop. Even your father asked your sixth uncle to ask someone to find a job as a small banner."

Zhao Changqing asked in confusion, "Did my ancestors want to give it to my grandmother for a long time? But if I wanted to give it to me earlier, why didn't I give it to me at the most difficult time in our family? This is also a timely help. After my father is on the job, life should be slower. Besides, it can also give it to me when my father gets married, which is considered a joy to me."

Old Mrs. Zhao smiled quietly, thinking that her granddaughter was indeed spiritual, and then said, "When is the most difficult time for our family? That is, I am asking for a visit. However, at that time, a concubine daughter who was estranged from my stepmother, I was desperate and wanted to come. She gave me fifty taels of silver and asked your father to join the clan to study. It was already kind and righteous. If you say it was for the shop or something, the affection had not yet come. In fact, even if I received the help of your great-grandmother and had a little relaxed in my hands, I would not have worked hard for a day. I have no other skills, but my biological mother passed it on to me before, and my father went to school to study, so I was much freer at home. I could do a lot of embroidery work, which was enough for us, mother and son to spend."

"This is the duty of being a human being. It's really hard to do it anymore. Let's talk to relatives. For the sake of blood, relatives usually don't stand by. However, if they are in urgent need of help, they will recover for a while and earn what they should earn by themselves. After all, they can't rely on others for their lives." Mrs. Zhao said, "I'll have to spend that time fifty taels. The main reason is that your father can go to the clan to study, so he helped me a lot. Later, I got along more and more harmoniously with your great-grandmother. She gave our shop and said that it was still the best place for your sixth uncle."

"How do you say this?" Zhao Changqing said, "If the sixth uncle is willing to take care of our family, he will not wait for his grandmother to come to the house. Besides, if the shop is taken out by the sixth uncle, it should not be spoken by the great-grandmother." The brothers and sisters of the Zhu family's legitimate and illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illeg

Old Mrs. Zhao whispered, "Oh, every family has a difficult sutra. Your great-grandfather is the most unpredictable person. Your great-grandmother asked him to live in his hometown. The three uncles who were born in your great-grandmother were all officials in other places. It was absolutely inappropriate for them to live in their ancestral homes alone. Later, your great-grandmother saw that your sixth uncle was honest, so she appointed your sixth uncle to live together. Now you have also met you, and the family is so grand.

It's better than a day. Today you said that the General's house is not as beautiful as your great-grandmother's house. Your Aunt Yuan was happy to hear this, but your great-grandmother might not be happy. She is the person who understands the most. In those years, it was a bit unreasonable to ask your sixth uncle to be outside. Your great-grandmother gave me a shop and then found a small position for your father. After all, it was to ask your sixth uncle. Of course, it was also me who had a crush on her, otherwise this shop would not fall on us."

Zhao Changqing suddenly realized, "It turns out that there is such an inside story."

Old Mrs. Zhao sighed, "Your sixth uncle is a very destined person. He has three sons. His son has another grandson. With more families, he will inevitably have more thoughts. Look at how many of the people coming and going in the mansion are sincere. Your aunt Yuan has seen many people. The reason why she underestimates us is simply because our family is lower, and if you really have to rely on the Zhu family."

"I don't think so. You kids feel awkward when they hear this." Old Mrs. Zhao smiled.

Zhao Changqing was not a stupid person. She shook her head and said, "Grandma, I'm not awkward. Although we were supported by our ancestors, we had to talk to our ancestors because we had no choice but to talk to our ancestors. Later, our ancestors gave us a shop, but there were more people in the city with Zhu's surname, and there were ten great-grandfathers and sons. With the daughters, we couldn't count them. The ancestors gave them to our family without giving them any of them. She depends on the family's duties and grandmother's affection. We naturally have to remember her kindness to our family."

Old Mrs. Zhao smiled, "Yes. This family is full of ups and downs, and it is unsure. The Zhu family is our relatives. We go around on weekdays not to make the autumn wind or something. Your great-grandmother is old, and I am also at this age. I want to take advantage of the fact that she can still walk around now. However, my grandmother also has her own little plan and doesn't want anything to do on weekdays. If there is really something or a critical moment, and the foundation laid before, it is always easy to speak."

Zhao Changqing laughed, "I will be successful in the future and just ask my grandmother to sit at home and listen to what others flatter you."

Old Mrs. Zhao laughed, "That's great." She also told her, "Don't mention the matters in the Zhu family today to your father. He is filial and I feel uncomfortable after hearing this."

"I remember."

After a while, Ling came over and said with a smile, "The old lady came back early today."

Old Mrs. Zhao smiled, "When I went out, I felt cloudy. It was the twelfth lunar month again. The cold wind was irritating. You are young and I didn't want to eat. Your grandmother kept it, so I came back early." The old lady asked again, "Is Changqing's father resting? When she came back, she saw that he was full of alcohol and didn't ask him to take the car outside, for fear that the cold wind would be rotten."

Ling smiled, "Stop, I asked him to drink two bowls of sobering soup. I came here after seeing him sleep."

The old lady reminded him worriedly, "Prepare a bowl of honey water for him, and wake up and drink it when she wakes up."

Ling smiled, "Don't worry, mother, everything is ready."

Old Mrs. Zhao smiled, "You have always been thorough." She asked again, "Is the family good for most of the day we have gone out?"

Ling looked at Zhao Changqing with a smile, "It's nothing, it's just that the old lady and Changqing left, and the general's mansion sent a post saying that it was the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month that was the birthday of Miss Chu, so please go there."

Old Mrs. Zhao laughed, "This is a good thing. I said it to your grandfather's house before, and they also received the post. I will call Laifu to say it tomorrow and let Changqing go with their car at that time, it will be very cheap."

Ling smiled, "That's good. But how can I prepare a birthday gift for Miss Chu?"

Old Mrs. Zhao looked at Zhao Changqing and asked, "Girl Qing, what do you think?"

Zhao Changqing thought for a moment and said, "Girls' etiquette are nothing more than needlework and thread. Just bring a few pieces at that time."

Ling always felt that it was inappropriate and said, "This is not the time to snag the ropes." It was very simple to bring snacks last time, not to mention that if she could really establish a good relationship with the general's mansion, her husband's position would probably be promoted.

"There is no place to pick the line. The snacks I brought last time, Sister Chu said they were delicious."

Ling smiled, "I'm so kind, how can I take it seriously?"

"She didn't dislike us for eating together."

Old Mrs. Zhao smiled, "That's fine, let Changqing watch and prepare. She grows older in the future, and she knows more friends, and in the future, she will have to interact with the younger sisters on birthdays and tea. Bai Woman is good at needlework, what do you want to do? Let Bai Woman do it. You will be five years old next year, and while my eyes are still fine, it's time to teach you some needlework."

Zhao Changqing's thoughts have changed a lot at this moment. She is also reading the books she wants to read. Now she has met new friends. Everything is completely different from the previous life. Now, thinking about it carefully, it is not just the reason why she died of depression in her previous life. There are many virtuous people in the world, and they are not all like her living a frustrated life and a cowardly life. After all, her short life of failure is not that she is too virtuous, but that she is too weak. Zhao Changqing smiled slightly, "Okay, grandma just passes on all her skills to me."

Ling smiled, "You always like to say these big words."

It was Ling, who had never given her such a good face in her previous life. Zhao Changqing smiled, "I am afraid that my grandmother's good skills will be lost."

Since both mother-in-law and Zhao Changqing insisted so much, Ling stopped talking about anything.
