Before dawn, Zheng went to the old lady's yard.

Mrs. Chu looked at Zheng's docile appearance, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and chatted with Zheng about Jingting's marriage.

"Zheng, do you know that Jing Ting won a good fortune in the talent competition at the chrysanthemum banquet yesterday?"

While helping the old lady comb her hair in a bun, she replied.

"Back to the old lady, the concubine knows that after the eldest lady returned to the house yesterday, everyone in the house will know. The eldest lady is talented, and it is also appropriate to win a good prize. ”

"You are kind to talk, Jing Ting is not young this year, her marriage was dragged by Jingya, but I didn't expect it to be delayed until now."

"Old lady, there is no urgency in this kind of thing, the eldest lady was so brilliant yesterday, and many people's wives and sons have seen it, so there is no need to worry about our eldest lady's marriage."

The old lady was happy when she thought of it.

"That's right, this girl is a blessed one, yesterday under Mrs. Pang's explanation, I made friends with four other women who won a good fortune together, and the backgrounds of these four young ladies are extraordinary."

Although Zheng wanted to know which four young ladies they were, she knew more about the things she couldn't ask if she couldn't ask more.

"The eldest lady is a blessed person."

The old lady saw in the mirror that Zheng seemed to have something to say, but she stopped talking, and she was even more satisfied with Zheng.

Only by understanding one's own identity and status, what to say and what not to say, is a person who understands current affairs, and it is obvious that Zheng is very knowledgeable about current affairs.

"It's okay to tell you, it's not a big deal. These four young ladies are Zhang Yan'er, the daughter of Zhang Quan, the deputy general of the Peizhou battalion, Wang Mengqi, the daughter of Wencheng in Peizhou, and Pang Jingyi, the daughter of a huge family, and the last one is Miss Rouge of General Weiyuan's mansion. ”

"Miss Rouge, but the Miss Rouge who came to Princess Rongyin's house last time to our Chu family's dignitaries."

"It's her, this girl is eccentric, and she has a lot of background."

As soon as he heard the old lady say it, Zheng knew that Rouge was the Rouge who came to Chu Mansion last time, and he was also the interesting woman he knew in Wushuang's mouth.

"The concubine said, the eldest lady's husband and wife are big, these young ladies are all from excellent backgrounds, and they will become good friends with the eldest lady in the future, and they can also help each other."

The old lady naturally thought the same thing in her heart.

"Yes, the other ladies are all concubines, I'm afraid that Jing Ting thinks she is a concubine, and there is a psychological gap."

"Old lady, although the eldest lady is a concubine, she is also the eldest lady of our Chu Mansion, the second lady is not in good health, and the identity of the eldest lady is naturally no different from that of the concubine."

Chu Changjian has two daughters, the eldest daughter Chu Jingting, and the youngest daughter Chu Jingru was born frail, so he invited a fortune teller, saying that it was inconsistent with the Chu family.

If you want her to survive, you can only send it to the Taoist temple, and when she reaches adulthood, she will return to the Chu family.

This second young lady Chu Jingru is an aunt in the house, and not long after that aunt gave birth to Chu Jingru, she got puerperal disease and went.

Therefore, these two young ladies have been raised in a Taoist temple in Peizhou City all these years, and they have never returned to the Chu family.

Many outsiders only regard Chu Jingting as a daughter of the Chu family, and they don't know that there is a second lady at all.

Zheng chatted with the old lady, and after serving the old lady to freshen up, they went to the Buddhist hall to recite the Buddha together.

Mrs. Chu is a person who believes in Buddhism, and she has to stay in the Buddha hall for two hours every day, and if the Zheng family is fine, she will come with the old lady.

Zhou Jingya was entertaining guests in the hall at this time, and she had been serving and pleasing Chu Changjian for a long time last night, and now when she was entertaining guests, she only felt dizzy.

The person who came was Zeng Hao's mother, who discussed with Chu Wentao yesterday whether Chu Jingting was married or not.

"Mrs. Chu, I'm here today to see the eldest lady of your mansion. Yesterday, Miss Liguifu's singing voice shocked me. After I inquired, I learned that Miss Chu had not yet been allowed to marry someone, so she came to the door to disturb her, this is the dog Zeng Hao, and I have not seen Mrs. Chu yet. ”

Zeng Hao, who was mentioned by name, gave a salute to Zhou Jingya.

"Xiaosheng Zeng Hao, meet Mrs. Chu."

Looking at the mother and son in front of her, Zhou Jingya only felt that her head was big.

I came to Chu Mansion early in the morning just to see Chu Jingting, what kind of net worth is this Zeng family, and he is also worthy of being married to Chu Mansion.

Zhou Jingya didn't have much interest, but just lightly ordered her subordinates to serve tea.

Seeing that Zhou Jingya didn't speak, Mrs. Zeng didn't have anything to say, and the three people in the room just drank tea quietly.

After the time of a cup of tea passed, Zhou Jingya had not yet opened her mouth to speak, and Mrs. Zeng couldn't bear it.

"Mrs. Chu, I wonder if you can ask Miss Chu to come out and see you?"

If this Chu Jingting came out, she would have to stay here for a while, Zhou Jingya, as her mother-in-law, naturally had to watch from the side, but now Zhou Jingya is sleepy, where can she accompany them to chat.

"Oh, Mrs. Zeng, I'm really embarrassed, I don't know what Jing Ting means, if she rashly asks her to come out to meet, it will damage the reputation of the girl's family, do you say it."

It was also in the past few days that Chu Changjian slept in Zhou Jingya's room, and he also knew that the old lady didn't like him a little, and Zhou Jingya's temper was now much more restrained.

If it was in the past, Zhou Jingya was afraid that she would let them out directly, where would she order her subordinates to serve tea.

Zeng Hao, who was anxious to see Chu Jingting, stood up.

"Mrs. Chu, at yesterday's chrysanthemum banquet, I saw Miss Jing Ting, and I was attracted by her, and I asked Mrs. Chu to fulfill it."

Zhou Jingya smiled, and as soon as she was concerned, she was attracted and asked herself to fulfill it. No matter how you say it, Chu Jingting is also the daughter of the Chu family, her own nominal daughter, the person in front of her is unreliable at first glance, how can she agree.

"Zeng Gongzi, you don't think about what you said, please take it back."

Mrs. Zeng also saw that Zhou Jingya was a little unhappy, stood up and dragged Zeng Hao to the side of the stool and pressed him down.

"Mrs. Chu smiled, my son is such an adult, and he doesn't have any sense of proportion, and I also ask Mrs. Chu, adults don't care about villains, don't care about him."

Zhou Jingya is very comfortable in this sentence, and those who are familiar with Zhou Jingya know that she is a master who eats soft and does not eat hard, if she talks to her well, she is not the kind of person who loses her temper.

"I see, Madame Zeng, please take a seat. Ling Gongzi is a junior, we are elders, where are the elders who care about the juniors, you say yes. ”

"Yes, Mrs. Chu said so."

Mrs. Zeng dared to say that it was not at this time, but she regretted listening to her son's words, although this Miss Chu is not married and is older, but no matter how you say it, this Miss Chu is the young lady of the Chu family, and she is still the only young lady, she is really blinded by lard, so she will come to this Chu Mansion.

"Mrs. Zeng, I really can't call my family Jing Ting out, this reason, you and I are the same woman, naturally I also understand."

"Yes, yes, we owe it to us, and please forgive Mrs. Chu."

"It's okay, if Ling Gongzi really admires Jing Ting, it's not a good thing. Jing Ting is also not allowed to be married, and it is okay for a man to be unmarried and a woman to be unmarried. ”

When Zeng Hao heard this, there was a play.

The mother and son of the Zeng family did it for a while and left.

Zhou Jingya was finally able to go back to her room and sleep for a while, and sent the grandmother who was waiting next to her to inform the old lady that someone had come to see Chu Jingting.

After the old lady knew Zhou Jingya's way of handling things, her opinion of Zhou Jingya changed.

"This week Jingya is not so useless, I also know that my Chu family girl is looking for someone, no matter how much she needs to be a good person, which branch of this Zeng family is the shares, it is really a toad who wants to eat swan meat, and wants to marry my family Jing Ting, don't you look at yourself for it?"

Old Mrs. Chu didn't want the Chu family to have anything to do with such a small family, and she still appreciated Zhou Jingya's approach.

How did she know that Zhou Jingya was just too tired and wanted to go back to sleep, so she hurriedly sent them away.

Zheng returned to the courtyard of his courtyard and told Wushuang the news that Chu Jingting's good friend had rouge and Zhou Jingya's dispatch of the Zeng family.

Chu Wushuang, who was studying, was happy after knowing that Chu Jingting and Rouge had a relationship.

But in front of Zheng, it was not revealed.

"I know, mother, then we will have a good relationship with the Hu family and Chu Jingting in the future."

Looking at Wushuang's faint expression, Zheng originally guessed if his son liked rouge, but for so many years, the girl Wushuang mentioned for the first time was rouge.

But Wushuang's expression was too bland, and Zheng didn't know what he was thinking.

"Mother, why are you looking at me? Do I have something on my face? ”

Wushuang noticed that Zheng's expression was wrong, but he didn't ask anything.

"Nothing, nothing."

After Zheng left, Wushuang put down the book in his hand, walked to the painting bucket next to the table, and took out a painting.

Unfold the scroll, and what is drawn on the paper is rouge.

It was Wushuang at the back door of the Chu family, when he talked to Rouge for the first time, that Rouge was dressed as a man.

Looking at the rouge on the painting, Wushuang smiled slightly.

Zhao Zijun is very busy now, there is no good painter in the painting boat, for the sake of his own lady said dimly, save more furniture for the child before the child is born, Zhao Zijun personally went into battle.

When many people heard that the owner of the painting boat had started painting, they all went to the painting boat and asked Zhao Zijun to paint for them.

After half a day, Zhao Zijun, who had drawn several pictures, rubbed his sore wrist and wanted to strike.

But for the sake of a good income, I gritted my teeth and endured it.

He took the silver taels he earned in the morning, carried them in his arms, and went home.

As soon as I entered the house, I was busy asking for merit with the hazy.

He took the silver from his bosom and handed it to Hazy.

"Lady, this is the money I earned from painting this morning, and it is the furniture I saved for my son."

After hearing this, Rouge, who was talking with Hazy on the side, looked at Zhao Zijun's eyes with some ill intentions.

Zhao Zijun was looked at by Rouge, and he only felt a chill in his back, and he had a bad premonition.

"Sister, this cousin is really amazing, it's only been a morning, there is so much silver, if there is no day and night, no rest without interruption, or it won't be long before our family will have so much silver that the account room can't pile up."

Listening to Rouge's words, Hazy nodded.

"yes, you have a point."

Zhao Zijun, who was extremely frightened by Rouge's words, thought that his favorite lady would help him speak, but he didn't expect to agree to Rouge's unscrupulous request.

"Lady, how can you bear it? Wouldn't it be good for me to go up and paint and come back in the afternoon to accompany you, could it be that you want to be someone who can't see me all day? ”

Pretending to be an aggrieved voice, Zhao Zijun was not ashamed to be coquettish in the face, and he didn't care about rouge beside him.

Fortunately, Rouge had long been accustomed to it, glanced at Zhao Zijun, got up and walked away.

Zhao Zijun, who saw Rouge gone, quickly reached Hazy's side, put Hazy Lou in his arms, and put his hand on Hazy's stomach.

Hazy couldn't help but glance at Zhao Zijun, but Zhao Zijun didn't care at all, but hugged Hazy tighter and tighter.

Rouge didn't go far, and when he saw Zhao Zijun's behavior, he snickered.
