Chapter 6 Good mood
On the day of Ling's birthday, the three of them changed into new clothes. Zhao Yong rented a carriage early and asked his servant Lai Fu to drive the car. The family took the birthday gift to his father-in-law to celebrate his father-in-law's birthday.--Zaji Bookstore-
After Ling had body, Zhao Changqing was unwilling to be with Ling, and smiled and said, "Dad, I'll sit on the side, you sit next to your mother in the middle, and support your mother more, the road is a bit bumpy."
Zhao Yong smiled, "Okay, hold your father's belt tightly. If you feel like Huang tell me, it's the same for me to hold you." He also told Lai Fu to walk slowly, and don't be anxious.
Zhao Changqing sat down next to the carriage and laughed, "No, no, I can sit firmly by myself."
Zhao Yong touched the two little wands with golden bells hanging on Zhao Changqing's head and smiled, "If you want to be your sister, you are becoming more and more sensible."
Ling asked worriedly, "Do you still remember the birthday greeting you taught you?"
Zhao Changqing said, "Blessings are as good as the East Sea and longevity is as long as the South Mountain."
Ling nodded, "Yes, these two sentences are just these, don't forget. When you go, you have to pay your grandfather's birthday this way. You should be respectful to your grandmother and aunt, and be humble to your cousins. Do you know?"
Zhao Changqing responded softly.
The two families have similar conditions and live not far away.
In fact, the conditions of the Ling family are slightly worse than those of the Zhao family. Otherwise, the Ling family would have claimed to be a scholarly family and would never marry their daughter to a military household with the nobleness of the scholars.
Zhao Changqing will never embarrass his family when he comes out. It is a matter for her to not like Ling. However, the person she goes out does not represent Ling, but the face of the Zhao family’s daughter. Zhao Changqing obediently celebrated his grandfather’s birthday. After meeting two uncles, Grandpa Ling was happy and said to Ling, “Okay, okay, take the girl Qing to the back and talk to your mother. Your mother has always cared about you. The son-in-law talks with me.”
So, Ling took Zhao Changqing to the place where the women stayed behind.
In the house of Mrs. Ling, Zhao Changqing met two aunts, cousin Ling Teng, three cousins and one cousin.
Ling Teng is only six years old, two years older than Zhao Changqing, and is about to go to school. He is the only boy in the two rooms. Moreover, Ling Teng's appearance is a likable one, so it is inevitable that he is more precious.
In fact, just look at the children's dress, you will know their own situation. The girls in the Ling family are covered with cloth skirts, with only one or two silver jewelry on their heads except silk flowers. Ling Teng is wearing a big red silk shirt, a gold collar and a gold bracelet, and even the hairband combs have a gold pendant. Just look at the wear, you can tell how Ling Teng has an extraordinary status in the Ling family.
Old Mrs. Ling smiled, "Sister Qing came here and showed it to my grandmother. She grew taller and became more handsome."
The eldest aunt, Mrs. Ling, smiled, "Isn't it? Especially this big red dress, standing with our brother Teng'er's big red outfit, isn't it like the golden boy and jade girl in that year's painting?"
Old Mrs. Ling smiled, "You are just sharp-eyed." She rubbed Zhao Changqing's round face with her rough palms, and she was extremely loving, "Sister Qing'er is rare to come back, Brother Teng, do you still remember your cousin?"
Ling Teng took a serious look at the white and tender cousin in front of him, and smiled, "Why don't you recognize me? I remember less of my cousin. I heard that my cousin has started studying, but it's really amazing. Where did my cousin go?"
After her rebirth, Zhao Changqing had been to Ling's house several times. Now, even when facing Ling Teng, she could control herself from slapping Ling Teng in the face like she did for the first time. Of course, she was still in her infancy at that time, and even when she slapped Ling Teng twice, the adults just smiled and no one really cared.
He was able to control his temper, but Zhao Changqing was still unwilling to pay attention to Ling Teng.
Seeing that Zhao Changqing didn't speak, Ling knew that she had always been strange, and this was not the time to teach her daughter, so she smiled and said, "She was just having fun at home. Brother Teng was going to go to school, are you ready? I packed up a set of four treasures in the study and brought them to you to go to school. When you get to school, don't work hard, don't play with those naughty guys."
Ling Teng listened quietly and thanked Ling first. Fang Qi said in a proper manner, "Don't worry, aunt, my nephew must study hard and dare not let down the expectations of his elders."
Old Mrs. Ling also loved her only grandson very much and smiled, "Your father said that Brother Teng is a spiritual person, and he doesn't know whether he can succeed. However, it is always good to read and recognize a few more words in your stomach."
Ling smiled, "At first glance, Brother Teng was smart. Last time I heard from my second sister-in-law that Brother Teng had finished reading all the books he had learned. He was a few years old and had such intelligence at a young age. He was born with materials for studying and would definitely have a great future."
Mrs. Ling Er laughed, "I just borrowed my sister's auspicious words, I just hope that this evil man will succeed."
The adults here talked, and soon, Grandpa Ling sent someone to call Ling Teng to meet the guests in front of him. Ling Teng said, "Then I will come to talk to my aunt and cousin later."
Seeing that he was very disciplined at a young age, Ling was also a nephew of his parents' family. Naturally, the more he looked at him, he loved him more and more. He smiled and said, "Go."
After his daughter finally returned home, Old Lady Ling wanted to ask Ling some private words, and smiled and sent the girls, "Big girl, take your sisters to the compartment to play. You are young, you have to give in to your sister."
Zhao Changqing went to have a snack with his cousins and sisters to talk.
The Ling family claimed to be a scholarly family, but the girl did not have a formal name, so she called her elder sister, second sister, third sister and fourth sister. Ling's elder sister was eight years old and was already sensible. She picked up the snack plate and asked Zhao Changqing, "Sister Qing, you try steamed cakes. I just learned from my mother, so you can see how good it is."
Zhao Changqing took a piece and said, "Thank you, cousin." After taking a small bite, Zhao Changqing whispered, "It's delicious."
Sister Ling laughed, "That sister eats more."
Then, a group of girls chattered about snacks and food. Ling Sanjie leaned on the low table of old elm trees with one arm, raised her eyebrows and said mysteriously, "Today, Mrs. Liu went to buy snacks from Nanxiangyuan. I went quietly to see them. It smelled so fragrant. Unfortunately, my grandmother wanted to keep them for guests." As she said that, Ling Sanjie's eyes rolled and she came up with a plan. She quietly poked Zhao Changqing, her almond eyes shining, and said, "Sister Changqing, you are a guest from afar. You told my grandmother that she would definitely give you food. Can you go and ask for some to come and eat?"
Zhao Changqing looked at Ling Sanjie and nodded, "Okay."
Sister Ling grabbed Zhao Changqing and glared at Sister Ling, "Don't use Changqing, she is young and knows nothing. If you want to eat, go and speak yourself."
Ling Sanjie curled her lips and snorted, "If I could come, I wouldn't have Changqing to go. She was only young, so she asked her to go. The steamed cake made by the eldest sister has less oil and salt, which is no different from cooking cakes. Just ask Changqing to go. The old lady likes her granddaughter. Changqing said one thing, and we should say ten words." As she said that, she kept pushing Zhao Changqing, "Changqing, go. Don't say that the third sister wants to eat, just say you want to eat it yourself, do you know?"
Sister Ling has always been a good temper. She didn't stop Ling Sanjie. Zhao Changqing pushed her up for Sister Ling, put half of the steamed cake in her hand back into the dim sum plate, and tidied her dress casually. She left the compartment to find Mrs. Ling, pulling the collar of her old lady Ling, and said with a slight slight voice, "Grandma, the third sister said that my grandmother has delicious Nanxiangyuan dim sum. The third sister wanted to eat it. She said she came to ask her grandmother not to give it to me, so she asked me to say it to her grandmother."
Fortunately, Grandpa Ling’s birthday party was not held, but the whole family was reunited for a meal. Zhao Changqing said it so innocently. Old Mrs. Ling felt embarrassed, and her face was fine, and she smiled, "These three girls have always been tricky. If she doesn’t come by herself, she will ask you to come because she knows that my grandmother’s good things are only for our sister Qing to eat."
Ling Sanjie's mother, Mrs. Ling Er, laughed, "These girls are not at ease. If you make fun of Changqing like this, I will take Changqing over."
Old Mrs. Ling laughed, "Okay, since the girls want to eat, put a plate of snacks from Nanxiangyuan for them to taste. Today, there are no outsiders at home, so don't be restricted. Let the girls just joke."
Mrs. Ling smiled and took Zhao Changqing to the compartment.
Ling Sanjie was smart and was called outside by her mother, Mrs. Ling Er, and scolded her. When Zhao Changqing and others were happily eating Nanxiangyuan dim sum, Ling Sanjie came back dejectedly.
Sister Ling San glared at Zhao Changqing fiercely, "I have taught you what to say, why did you even tell me!"
Zhao Changqing slowly adjusted his meal and said, "It was what my third sister wanted to eat."
Ling Sanjie was scolded by her mother. Thinking of her own ideas, she was scolded. Now she asked others to eat ready-made good snacks. There is no need to mention her grievance and anger. Ling Sanjie ranks third among sisters, but she is the eldest daughter of the second wife. Because she was handsome, she gave birth to a clever mouth and was smart. She is very popular even in the Ling family, where there are many girls. Therefore, Ling Sanjie dares to contradict Sister Ling's words on weekdays.
This was the biggest loss she suffered when she was born. Ling Sanjie was young and her qi cultivation skills were not yet in place. She glared at Zhao Changqing and found that Zhao Changqing didn't glance at him at all. So Ling Sanjie was even more angry. She suddenly reached out and pinched Zhao Changqing's arm, scolding Zhao Changqing, "Are you stupid?"
Zhao Changqing wanted to slap Ling Sanjie back on the face at that time, but she was not a real child after all. So Zhao Changqing didn't pause for a second, and she immediately pulled her throat open, and with a wow, the crying sounded loud.
Ling Sanjie was immediately stunned. She bullied her sisters on weekdays, but no one dared to cry like this. I have to say that Ling Sanjie is a quick-responsive child. She jumped over and covered Zhao Changqing's mouth and said anxiously, "Don't cry! Don't cry!"
Zhao Changqing pushed her away, still grinning and howling.
They were already talking in the compartment, but now the adults had already heard the sound and rushed over. When Sister Ling San was seeing this situation, she was panicked, and then she curled her lips and started crying.
Sister Ling is the youngest, but only three years old. When she saw her sisters crying, she joined in the fun and cried. Sister Ling persuaded this and that, but no one listened to her advice. Sister Ling was the most realistic. She kept talking about pastries in her mouth and had a round belly.
Ling hugged Zhao Changqing who was crying from the chair and frowned and asked her, "What's wrong? Why are you crying so hard?"
Zhao Changqing shouted loudly, "The third sister called me stupid, asked me why I told her out, and pinched me... She pinched me so much!" While saying that, Zhao Changqing rolled up his sleeves and showed it to Ling. Ling's third sister was quite dark, and she pinched a small piece of it.
Ling hurriedly touched Zhao Changqing's arm and coaxed her, "It's okay, it's okay, today is your grandfather's birthday, don't cry."
After Zhao Changqing finished complaining, he saw that even though Ling Sanjie cried, he could not escape the beating. Zhao Changqing changed from crying to thrusting, and whispered aggrieved. He waited for Mrs. Ling to come over and laugh and coax her, "Sister Qing, you are a sensible child, don't be as knowledgeable as your third sister. I have already punished her. Come on, don't cry, can you go wash your face with your aunt? Look, your little face is so weeping."
Ling said hurriedly, "Second Sister-in-law, I'll just wash Changqing's face."
Mrs. Ling went out to call someone to fetch water, turned around and told Sister Ling, "You are the elder sisters, you must take care of your sisters, keep them in prison, and don't make them noisy."
Zhao Changqing interrupted with a naive look on his face, "Yes, my second aunt, why don't the third sister listen to the eldest sister?"
Mrs. Ling Er's face was slightly stiff and she smiled, "It's all your elder sister who has a good temper. I have taught your third sister a lesson. She dares not ignore her in the future."
After Zhao Changqing was cleansing up, she was comforted by Old Lady Ling and returned to the compartment. Sister Ling was full of apology and took Zhao Changqing's hand to sit on the couch, "Sister Qing, I've told you to be wronged."
Sister Ling originally wanted to get a snack for Zhao Changqing. When she looked up the table, she found that the Nanxiangyuan pastries that were originally half a plate were already eaten by Sister Ling.
Sister Ling withdrew her gaze awkwardly, Zhao Changqing pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister, I'm fine." Although the pastries in Nandeyuan are rare, she hasn't eaten them before, and she won't really greed for those cakes like a child.
Even if Ling Sanjie didn't take the initiative to provoke and find trouble, she wouldn't even go to trouble Ling Sanjie.
She lived a new life, but she didn't know where to put the resentment and hatred in her heart. Because she had already discovered that those who had failed and hurt her were now just ignorant naughty boys, innocent and innocent.
Do you want to regain those resentments to these children?
No, even if she lives again, even if Zhao Changqing is determined not to be a pitiful person like her previous life, she still can't do anything to attack the child for no reason.
It was like a river, everyone else was on the side, but she had already wade through the river and stood on the other side.
