In the blink of an eye, the summer of June ushered in, the store has been newly decorated, and even Chengxian is busy buying goods, and he is not at home for three days.

Because it is not easy for the people to buy ice, Cheng Ze, who works in the official ice cellar, has a great opportunity to show his face, and he walks around the Ling Mansion very diligently.

Thanks to Cheng Ze, Lingfu is not a problem to buy ice, Zhang likes to make all kinds of iced drinks to cool off, plus it is rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, and thunderstorms from time to time add coolness, and the days are pleasant.

It's just that Cheng Ze walks around a lot, and the Zhang family can't help but be concerned, and one afternoon he sat with Ling Xiang and Lian's family, and Zhang couldn't help but say: "Aunt Ling's tutor is strange. ”

Lian was surprised: "What a strange method?"

Zhang said: "Then Cheng Ze and Cheng Ai are brother and sister, even if the relationship is good, you have to avoid suspicion a little, every time you come, go to Wisteria Xuan to sit for most of the day, and my sister is not out of the cabinet, this is not a word." ”

Lian blamed her: "You are an elder, how can you be so red-mouthed and white-toothed! Brothers and sisters are closer, and they should be, not to mention that the aunt's family is a flat-headed commoner, the house is only so big, and you are nose and face all day long, what do you pay attention to avoiding suspicion?"

Zhang Shiyou was unconvinced: "I don't think it's like that......"

Ling Xiang didn't intervene, and was busy mixing the ground medicine and ointment in a small box, and the fragrance was overflowing nearby.

Zhang Shi couldn't look at it: "What are so many maids doing, they can't adjust in front, and they will always pack the box in the end?"

The kite followed left and right, and immediately sneered, and it was not a helper who came up, nor was it standing.

Ling Makeup kept his hands on his hand, and responded lightly: "The ointment and medicinal powder they added are not to my liking, so it's better to come by yourself." ”

The color fan is a girl bought in the back of Beijing, the original face is yellow and thin, and she quickly developed an apple face in Lingfu, which will be clever and flattering: "The girl's ointment is simply a miracle medicine, mosquito bites, it is not itchy immediately, and some are placed in the room, which not only replaces incense, but also hinders mosquitoes and flies, which is no better." In the future, if you sell it in the hall, you may be able to make a lot of money. ”

"What kind of money can you make? It's just a few pennies of silver, and no matter how much you sell, you can't sell it for a limited amount. Ling Makeup was careless.

Cai Fan blinked and puzzled: "The slaves and maids have a short knowledge, and the ointment made by the girl seems to have not been heard of on the market, although the cost is low, and the goods are scarce and expensive, can't they be sold high?"

Ling Xiang stared at her and said, "The doctor is the most taboo about this, the medicine with low cost should be sold cheaply, otherwise he will have the rest of the medicine hall buy the ointment and analyze the ingredients of the medicine, and we will lose our integrity." ”

The color fan seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but nodded again and again. They are the new subordinates of the Ling Mansion who will be glad to have found a good master in private, but the rules of brocade clothes and jade food are not very big, so they are naturally looking forward to becoming more and more prosperous.

The person on the door reported the sound, and saw Cheng Ai bring a girl to visit the door.

Zhang muttered: "You really can't talk about people during the day." He said that there was something outside, and got up and went.

The fan poured a cup of tea and served it.

Cheng Ai asked the Zhang family for peace, and sat on the circle chair, seemingly bored.

Because of Zhang's words, Ling Xiang couldn't help but pay more attention to her eyes, and saw that something was wrong, so he said, "Cousin, I don't think you have much energy, take a pulse for you?"

Cheng Ai immediately sat up straight and replied dryly: "Thank you cousin for your concern, I'm not sick, no need." ”

Lian glanced at his daughter: "Women's family, the habit of checking people's pulses all day long should be changed, and many families are taboo." ”

Ling Xiang smiled and thought: Isn't that a medical avoidance!

Seeing that Cheng Ai was so bored every day, Lian was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Your mother hasn't been here for a while, I think it's hot on the road, and I asked my aunt to pay attention to it for you, but now I'm not busy, so it's time to worry about your business." ”

Cheng Ai smiled a little reluctantly, and even said that he would rather serve his aunt for the rest of his life than marry.

In the past, she didn't react like this when she mentioned relatives.

After being in contact with Cheng Ai for a while, Ling Makeup roughly figured out her temperament, although she was ambitious for her future husband, she had a strong inferiority complex in her bones, and she was greedy for wealth and wealth. It's okay to be greedy for wealth and wealth, after all, it is a common problem for most people, but as a young lady, it is unheard of to take advantage of the monthly money of the maids.

The people who waited at Wisteria Xuan didn't regard her as a serious lady, and almost all of them deviated from morality and complained to the Zhang family many times. In addition, Cheng Ai often asks for this and that in front of the Lian family, and when he enters the warehouse, he can't wait to move the good things away, and he may be worried that he won't be able to live in Ling's Mansion in the future, so he secretly transports all kinds of things to his own house, and his daily use is three times that of Ling's makeup, so the Zhang family doesn't want to see Cheng Ai, and now it has developed to the point of not talking to her.

It is not a way to do this in the long run, so Ling Makeup wants to talk to Cheng Ai, find out her thoughts, settle down early, and give an explanation to Ling Chunniang.

Lian thought that Cheng Ai's eldest girl had a tender face, and told with a smile: "I have to embroider more things, and I will have to pack more cages in the future." ”

Cheng Ai sat up straight, with a flattering look: "Uncle, I also want to make more things, even to make a pair of shoes for you and your father, but I sent the maid to the warehouse to get something, not to say that this is lacking or that, and there is no time to dial it to Wisteria Xuan." I also know that my uncle's wife doesn't like it, but don't they live in my uncle's house?

Ling Xiang sighed on the side.

Cheng Ai relied on his mother's feelings for his father to be arrogant, but the Zhang couple was the closest person to his mother, no matter what, the status of the two parties in Lian's mind was not the same, Cheng Ai's arrangement of the Zhang family was really incorrigibly stupid.

Sure enough, although Lian did not have a seizure on the spot, his face was no longer kind, and he only cared about drinking tea with his head down.

Cheng Ai was very eyeless, and she was still going to be coquettish, Ling Makeup wanted to stop it, but it happened that Jade Cicada came in with a fruit bowl and said, "Madam, the Ruan family has come to ask to see you." ”

Lian frowned and looked at his daughter, but he couldn't see it, so he said, "Invite someone in." ”

It was still the first time that the woman who was very good at talking to the door, and when she entered the bamboo curtain, she inserted two seedlings in a row: "Give a gift to the wife and girls, the house is so cool and comfortable, I don't know what kind of incense to use, the slave and maid smell it, and the spirit is suddenly a lot better." ”

Ling Xiang tugged at the corners of his lips and didn't speak.

Lian Shi already had a headache for the Ruan family, so he only said lightly: "There is no incense, and there is not too much ice in the house, I don't know what Ruan Lao Junjun sent you for?"

The woman smiled and said: "No, the house has invited a singer and a hundred operas, the sky is good today, tomorrow is the fifteenth day, and you can also enjoy the moon, the old lady wants to invite the ladies and girls to eat and drink in the garden, and talk." ”

When Lian heard this, he asked: "Since you have invited a hundred operas, isn't there any reason?"

The woman replied, "It's just that the lord is filial to the old lady, and said that there has been no amusement since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. ”

Cheng Ai pouted and said, "Didn't the dragon boat race of the Dragon Boat Festival just pass?" Brother Su from the county lord's mansion still invited us to watch it in the building under the palace of Yuyang." ”

Ling Xiang glanced at her, stopped her from talking, and asked, "I don't know if you only invite our family or if there are other guests?"

The woman was still smiling: "Because it is night, I have never invited other guests, but the meaning of a small gathering of women in the house, the old lady often says that the people in the house are thin, and I want to interact with the wives and girls often." ”

Lian felt that people specially sent someone to invite, that is, he didn't care about the meaning of refusing to kiss, and it was not easy to refuse, so he agreed, rewarded the errand woman with a penny, and sent her back. Because he saw that Cheng Ai was a little troubled, he went to find the gift that Zhang was preparing to be a guest.

Cheng Ai was bored and nervous, and was about to go back to the room, but Ling Xiang stopped her: "Seeing that my cousin has nothing to do, why don't I accompany you to play Shuanglu?"

At this time, playing Shuanglu is also known as playing horses, it is very popular, up to the emperor and general, down to the disciples of the market, basically will, although Go chess is also very popular, but Cheng Hao is not through.

Cheng Ai was not very interested, so he agreed.

The two sat on the couch for a while and fought for a few rounds, Cheng Ai lost a mess, his face was unhappy, he pushed the plate, and said, "Don't play, it's boring." ”

Ling Xiang smiled faintly: "If my cousin has nothing to say to me, I will go back to the room first." ”

Cheng Ai was a little flustered, slipped his eyes left and right, and said, "I'll go sit in my sister's room." ”

In view of her strange performance, Ling Xiang trusted her judgment even more, and her brain hurt, so she nodded, and she followed.

Cheng Ai obviously had something to say, so he dragged Ling makeup to the boudoir all the way, and didn't want tea, and sent the maids away.

Ling Xiang waited for the following.

Cheng Ai's mouth flattened, his face turned even yellower, he took two steps forward, knelt down, and cried: "Sister save me!"

Ling Xiang helped her up and put her hand on her pulse, fortunately, it was a married woman, otherwise she would have been frightened to death at this time-Cheng Ai, who was waiting for the boudoir, was really pregnant! Her voice couldn't help but be stern: "Who is it? What are you going to do?"
