Zhao Changqing first discussed the invitation with Mrs. Zhao. Mrs. Zhao was born in a down-and-out scholarly family. She was used to this. She only thought about it when Zhao Changqing knew more and more children. () Furthermore, it is normal for little girls to interact with each other, and Mrs. Zhao had no objection.

Zhao Changqing then went to Ling and said that Ling was sewing small clothes on the head of the kang. He was stunned when he heard this, "Go to treat you? Who do you want to invite?"

"It's my friend." Zhao Changqing counted with his fingers, "Sister Chu, Miss Li, and Sister Ling, Sister Xi, Sister Chan, Sister Feiyun of the clan leader's family. I have met Sister Chu's house several times, and I have also seen Sister Feiyun from Sister Ling's place. We are of the same clan, so it's hard not to invite her." In fact, she knew these people.

Ling smiled, "Oh, why do you think of treating me?"

Zhao Changqing said, "Mr. Tell me, I can't always go to other people's houses, and I should also invite friends to our house. Although our house may not be as wealthy as their family, if they are really friends with me, they wouldn't mind this. As long as we treat them with care, it will be possible. I can't always go to other people's houses to have dinner and play, and don't invite others to our house."

After putting down the needle and thread in his hand, Ling smiled and felt relieved, "I said why did you suddenly get enlightened? Mr. Su is just knowledgeable." She did not object to her daughter's treat, but the friends her daughter wanted to treat were all wealthier than her family, so she could think about how to prepare for a banquet.

Zhao Changqing said, "Mother, the things for the banquet are actually ready to be prepared, it is nothing more than eating snacks. The food is a little more than our usual day. I sleep with my grandmother now. My house is too small, but how can I entertain friends?" You can't go to the old lady's house to entertain guests.

Ling thought for a moment and said, "Seeing that you are getting bigger and more things, I have been trying to move you out this year, but there are so many things that you have to give birth to your younger brother and sister. We forgot for a while. Our family is the courtyard of the mistress. The old lady likes to be quiet and lives in the third place. Your father and I live in the main courtyard in the middle. Mr. Su is in the small courtyard on the east side of the corridor, and the three rooms on the west side of the corridor are houses. The row where the old lady lives is six rooms. Ordinary old ladies take you to live in the east side of the corridor, and the three rooms on the west side of the corridor are empty. I thought, you moved to the west side of the bedroom. In this way, you will not leave the old lady and have your own house. How about it?"

Zhao Changqing was too happy to have her own house, so why couldn't he say it well? She asked with a smile, "Mother, when will the West San Room be cleaned up?"

"It's very simple. It's just a few old furniture in it. Tomorrow I'll ask Bai Po to take you to see what furniture you like, just pack it up. No matter what the rest is, you can move it anywhere." Ling's clever praises Zhao Changqing, and said first, "Don't think that the old furniture is not good, they are all camphor wood, very good."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Mom, don't even think of fooling me. She is obviously from an old elm, but she fooled me into saying it's from a camphor tree."

After being seen through by Zhao Changqing, Ling said "Huh" and laughed, "Where do these ghostly minds come from? Can you recognize the good or bad of wood?"

Zhao Changqing said proudly, "Every year, furniture must also be prevented from insects. My mother asked Madam Bai to go to the house to put deworming medicine every year. I have heard Madam Bai talk about it several times."

Ling smiled and coaxed her, "Elmu is also very elmwood. There is no broken old furniture, you can pick it up. When your younger brother and sister grow up, ask them to pick the remaining things you have."

Zhao Changqing laughed, "Mother is just a fool."

Ling had no choice but to say, "It's not just to clean up your new house, but also to buy one with the little maid to be your company. Otherwise, just one Liu'er, would he serve you or the old lady?"

Zhao Changqing said in a false way, "Oh, oh, I'm not that picky, I'm not that picky, whatever my mother says."

Ling laughed and scolded, "You have taken advantage of you, but you are not picking on it!"

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I took advantage of my own daughter, isn't it our own advantage? Don't be angry quickly, don't be angry, you won't be beautiful if you are angry."

"Now I've learned to be naughty again." Ling smiled and poked her forehead and said, "Carry the house first in the next few days, and you can think about what you need to prepare for guests. Then you can make a list, and I'll ask Bai Pozi to prepare it all, and you can invite someone again."

Zhao Changqing should all answer.

Ling has a neat temper, not to mention that her daughter is about to make progress, and she has a thousand supporters.

Zhao Changqing followed the white woman to clean up her new house, saying that she was given three, but in fact only two, because the westernmost house was still used to store furniture that had no place to store. Therefore, Zhao Changqing occupied two houses adjacent to the old lady's three houses, one was tidying up into a bedroom and the other was tidying up into a small hall.

There are not many expensive things in the Zhao family, but there are definitely many ordinary things. Zhao Changqing also found a small bookshelves, and it is said that it was passed down by ancestors.

Zhao Changqing used it to put a few of his limited books, and the rest of the space was used to put some valuable little things, such as small wood carvings, small lanterns, small baskets, small bamboo tubes, etc. Knowing that she had moved a new house, Mr. Su gave her two pots of flowers and plants.

Zhao Changqing said politely, "I've made money for you."

Mr. Su waved his hand and smiled leisurely, "The flower pot belongs to your home, and the flowers were dug from your home. If you don't have a big son, you will be a favourite. Don't thank you."

Zhao Changqing looked at two pots of small green leaves and flowers: he dug it from her home and took it to her for her.

Mr. Su walked around Zhao Changqing's house, adjusted several seats for her, placed two pots of small flowers and plants, and touched her little head, "Girls have to learn to clean up the house by themselves." He picked up half-embedded strips from Zhao Changqing's small needlework basket and asked with a smile, "What are you going to do?"

"I want to make socks." Zhao Changqing said, "My great-grandfather's birthday is October, and he never dies. However, when he saw me last time, he gave me a good piece of jade. I thought about making pairs of socks to give him a birthday gift."

"This flower embroidery is very good." Mr. Su looked carefully and said, "Well, I use a needle. Are you learning Su embroidery?"

"Mr. I have such a good eye." Although Mr. Su also understands the girl's needlework, Zhao Changqing's needlework is still learning from the old lady. Zhao Changqing smiled, "My grandmother's embroidery work is authentic Su embroidery, and it is a masterpiece of border towns."

"I have only been studying for a few months and I can embroider this way." Mr. Su said to himself, "It seems that I have to teach you how to draw well."

Zhao Changqing muttered to himself: Did you teach me casually before?

He complained about Mr. Su's teaching insincerely, and Zhao Changqing discussed with Mr. Su how to prepare snacks for treats and lunch. Mr. Su is obviously an expert in the inner world and asked, "Are you going out to buy ready-made ones or prepare them at home?"

Zhao Changqing said, "I want to go out to buy ready-made snacks and prepare the food at home. If all of them are made by myself, Sister Liu would not have time."

Mr. Su laughed, "There is no need to bother to dim sum. You can go out and buy six or eight kinds. Just prepare the plates for the snacks in advance and prepare a few fruits. As for lunch, meat is nothing more than chicken, duck, fish, fish, beef, beef, sheep, pigs and rabbits. It depends on the seasonal vegetables on the market. The key is, what kind of specialty are Liu's specialty, and don't make food that is not good for a comprehensive picture. For example, the carp cooked by Liu is really hard to swallow. The crispy fish she fried with noodles is delicious. Don't ask for new things, as long as it is well cooked, the fried fried is also outstanding."

Zhao Changqing said while it was hot, "Then I'll call Sister Liu over here, let's discuss it together." As she said that, she went out and called Liu'er to call people.

In fact, Zhao Yong often invites people to eat wine at home, and Sister Liu has made a lot of preparations under the kitchen. After several years of training, she is also of medium-sized cooking standards. Zhao Changqing set the number of soups for six cold and eight hot according to the number of people he invited.

Sister Liu was shocked, "Miss, do you want to cook so many dishes?"

Zhao Changqing smiled, "There are more types and the portion is smaller. Just half of the usual dish. Put it on a small plate. Can cold dishes be prepared in advance? It won't be broken now."

Only then did Sister Liu nodded with lingering fear and asked, "Who are you hiring a girl?" That is, the chef of a small family dared to inquire about the owner like this.

"Just some friends." Zhao Changqing smiled, "Sister-in-law Liu just prepares it all the time. For example, beef sauce, cut chicken with white, and roasted mutton, it's nothing to make the cold ones. After breakfast, my sister-in-law can make some small stir-fry first. Just look at the time to prepare." In her previous life, she rarely attended banquets, but she had rich experience in preparing banquets. Because of her good skills, she was often sent to the kitchen to make cows and horses.

Zhao Changqing said, "I will tell you first. I will draft the order at that time. Just buy and prepare according to the things on the order. Let Madam Bai go to help you, so you can rest assured."

When Mrs. Liu heard Zhao Changqing say this, she felt relieved and laughed, "Okay, I will prepare for the girl on time."

Zhao Changqing planned the order before discussing with Ling. Ling saw that the products were only of many types and not large in quantity, and the total amount was only four or five hundred yuan. He smiled and said, "It can be seen that he really knows how to live. He will do things like this in the future. He must know how much to buy things. He must know how to buy them in his heart. For example, stir-fry a plate of cucumbers, which can last for a pound, so there is no need to buy more at this time. The same is true for family life. He cooks a few dishes every day, and buys each dish, whether it is too much or less. The family members must know how much they have to live in order to make life more refined. For example, if an egg costs 50 yuan for his family, he really doesn't know whether it is spent on chickens or people."

Ling took the opportunity to instill some concept of family management in Zhao Changqing, so as not to be deceived by his servants in the future. When it comes to the matter of the Zhu family, Ling shook his head and said very disagreement, "Our ancestors treat us well, we know it in our hearts. However, the manager of his family is far from it. Your aunt Yuan looked at a person who is good at Hua Tuanjincuo. Isn't this a fool for the servants? Even the emperor's eggs are not that expensive."

Zhao Changqing said, "Maybe this was the case before his family."

Ling lowered his voice and said, "What are the examples? Sixth house only became prominent when it lived in his ancestral home. I don't believe it. Did he have this example in his family before? You are stupid. Although some servants and maids in the family will have some oil and water in their hands, no mistress will be so stupid that she can give them food? If you know that the servant is greedy for the owner's money, the owner has not responded, unless you are not greedy for your own money, otherwise the owner is a fool."

Ling said, "If you are the master of your family in the future, you cannot learn from his family. Everything needs to be clear in your heart. If you let your servants spend your money heartlessly, you will not be able to afford it."

Zhao Changqing nodded and asked quietly, "Mother, our shop can make a lot of money by relying on the Zhu family's fur business every year. Do you think that the sixth uncle's family can't have a mountain of gold or silver?"

Ling's fingertips gently tapped her eyebrows, "Mo is stupid. Any good things you have from your ancestors, you Aunt Yuan will be so sore. If you really have a sea of ​​gold and silver, can you still be so unhappy? Besides, even if you have a sea of ​​gold and silver, can you spend too much?"

Zhao Changqing was stunned when Ling said that. She always regarded Ling as a snobbish person, and did not want Ling to be so knowledgeable. How could Ling know that Zhao Changqing was in his heart and only taught his own experience to his daughter, saying, "Although I am not the one who has studied and said a lot of truths, you have to remember a sentence: outside, you can't hide it when you should show off, and you can't show off when you should hide it."

Zhao Changqing asked, "Mother, please tell me in detail."

"Like your father, he always shows off his face. He lent out three taels of silver. I don't know when to pay it back? This is a waste of money! He is heartless!" Ling Shi shook her majesty and criticized her husband bluntly, and said to Zhao Changqing, "Like you, walk around at home, and go out like a quail, and you don't know how to show off at all! This is called being arrogant! Incompetent!"

Zhao Changqing muttered, "It can be seen that I am my father's biological child."

Ling laughed at her and said angrily, "I'll just say that these useless things are all sets. Now you finally understand that you can't live a whole life and you have to walk with your friends." He pointed to the things on the list, Ling smiled, "I'll ask Sister Liu to prepare these in advance. Go and find Mr. Su and discuss writing the invitation. I see that wealthy families will send invitations first. Although our family is mediocre, we have a scholarly family, so don't be rash."

Zhao Changqing wailed, "Mother, our family is just a military household, where did we get a scholarly family?" You are so bragging that you are really boasting.

Ling's eyebrows were raised, and he forced the words to scatter, "The old lady came from the scholarly family, and your father has half the blood of the scholarly family in his body. I also came from the scholarly family. Do you think you are considered a scholarly family?"

It turns out that this is how Zhao Changqing's background is, and everything Zhao Changqing told her mother was stupid.

Ling glanced at Zhao Changqing's stupid look, picked up the tea and took a sip, and sent her, "This unpromising energy is coming again, hurry up and write an invitation." He also called Bai Wu to bring red paper to Zhao Changqing.

Zhao Changqing looked at Mr. Su in a daze with a red paper soul. In her previous life, she had never received any satisfactory look from her mother, so naturally she had no way of hearing such teachings... Now her mother likes her so much and teaches her with all her heart. If Zhao Rong had grown up like this, then it would be really a very happy thing.

Zhao Changqing asked Mr. Su, "A very poor man fell in love with a pearl, but he was too poor to get such a treasure in his entire life. Later, this poor man finally gave up the pearl, but suddenly a huge amount of money came from the sky, making him a rich man. The pearl in the past was within his control. Sir, do you think this pearl is worth cherishing?"

Mr. Su thought about it and asked first, "Changqing, do you know the desert?"

Zhao Changqing nodded, "I heard that after leaving the border town, you can see the desert by passing through the grasslands of the Western Barbarians."

Mr. Su said, "It is difficult to find water in the desert. Many people will die of thirst in the desert. For example, a person who crosses the desert is very thirsty and thirsty. He feels that he is almost thirsty. Then, he suddenly encounters an oasis. There is an inexhaustible sweet spring. Do you think this person will cherish the water in the sweet spring after quenching his thirst?"

Zhao Changqing said, "Yes, this person was almost thirsty at the beginning, so of course he knew the preciousness of water."

Mr. Su laughed, "So Changqing, that poor man has been poor, even if he suddenly has huge wealth, he has been poor. As long as he is a normal poor person, he will know the preciousness of wealth. Does it mean that the pearls become dispensable because of a lot of money? If you have the ability to get something that you have longed for but cannot get, no one will refuse to get such a treasure. Perhaps this treasure is no longer as strong as before for this poor man, but treasures are always treasures, and since they are at your fingertips, why not?"

Zhao Changqing was not a stupid person. She was silent for a while and asked again, "If one day, I suddenly realized that the bead I bought was actually fake, but it was coated with a layer of light powder on the outside and covered with stones. The bead was actually worthless."

Mr. Su said, "If a rich man bought a fake pearl, this pearl would not have much impact on the lives of the rich. Or there is a disappointment, but rich people have countless wealth, and if they lose this, there is better."

"What if it is a poor person? A poor person has saved money and bought a pearl, but the pearl is fake," Zhao Changqing asked.

Mr. Su's voice was gentle and cold, "The poor will be very sad, but sadness has no effect."

Zhao Changqing sighed softly, "Yes, but I feel pitiful when I think about it."

"In this world, countless pitiful things happen every day. Changqing, there are some things that we can decide to choose and give up, but more so, we are powerless." Mr. Su sighed and smiled, "What we can do is not let down our lives easily and try to live our own life as well. If you have something difficult to choose, you just need to make a choice based on your own heart. Don't be afraid of wolves in front of you and tigers in the back. Even if a poor person buys fake pearls, the poor have actually gotten happiness from the pearls."
