Chapter 14: Talented Girls

Luokung Zhuang is the dowry of the Lu family.

If the maid in the house is matched with a small maid, it is ordinary, but if it is matched with a person from Zhuangzi, then there is a story.

If the husband's family is in a Zhuangzi with oil and water and a fine bottom, it is a liter.

On the contrary, if a poor porridge has to scrape the bottom of the pot, and it is full of slaves, it is a depreciation that can no longer be degraded.

Luokung Village is a Zhuangzi that the maid in this house would rather never marry than go.

Aunt Jiang had a nightmare yesterday, and the scene in the dream was Aunt Qiu curled up in a dark room with a bloody face, and her ears were full of Diao Nu's cruel laughter.

I took care of the two children in the morning, and was ready to go to the dining room to ask Lu Shi for peace after eating, but Lu Shi stopped asking for peace today.

Everyone was amnesty, but under Qiaozhu's scrutiny, no one dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

Aunt Jiang also returned to Xiyuan with her two children, and said very suspiciously: "What's wrong with Madame today?" ”

In the past, unless he was busy, Lu would not easily cancel the invitation.

Qiao Luo poured water cup after cup, and when it came to three cups in a row, he said a little relaxedly: "Maybe you have already trained your aunts yesterday, right?" ”

Aunt Jiang nodded, also a little convinced.

Zheng Lingyi looked at Aunt Jiang's blue and black eyes, and knew that she definitely didn't sleep well last night, as for why she didn't sleep well, Zheng Lingyi also knew it in her heart.

That day, I clearly heard Aunt Jiang say that she was pregnant, but Qiao Luo still secretly took her clothes to wash in the middle of the night.

Zheng Lingyi was a little puzzled, so he took advantage of the absence of the two adults to quietly rummage through Aunt Jiang's mattress and makeup box, and sure enough, he found a white porcelain vial containing pigeon blood.

"Sister, what are you thinking?" Qiao Luo looked at Zheng Lingyi's stunned appearance and asked with some concern.

Zheng Lingyi came back to his senses and said, "When I was in Anheju, the third sister said that I would go to her for a while. ”

"Do what?" Aunt Jiang naturally asked.

"The third sister didn't say it." Zheng Lingyi said.

Aunt Jiang was a little worried, but Zheng Yanru has always been kind to them, and there is no reason not to go, so she advised: "Then you have to be careful, don't go to the wrong door." ”

Zheng Lingyi smiled and said, "I know that the third sister's room is inside, and the one outside is the sixth sister's." ”

"Then go ahead." Aunt Jiang touched Zheng Lingyi's face, and after confirming that there was no flaw in the yellow powder on her face, she gently pushed her shoulder.

Zheng Lingyi didn't know what Zheng Yanru asked her to do, but she guessed in her heart that it shouldn't be a bad thing.

As soon as I entered Zheng Yanru's room, I saw that there were many jewels and gemstone earrings scattered on her table, which was really dazzling and dizzying.

Zheng Yangyang and Zheng Yingying were already in the room, and there was a hint of joy on their faces.

Seeing that the distance between the seats between the two was an arm's length, I still felt a little resentful in my heart.

The charcoal fire in Zheng Yanru's house is really warm, and there is a comfortable and pleasant aroma.

"Fifteen, come on, and see if you like it?" Zheng Yanru greeted warmly.

Zheng Lingyi walked over quickly, standing timidly and naturally beside Zheng Yanru, Zheng Yanru took advantage of the situation and affectionately grabbed her shoulder, took a Vermilion Bird with entwined flower branches and shook it, and said to Zheng Lingyi: "Do you like this?" ”

Zheng Lingyi caught a glimpse of Zheng Yangyang's expression out of the corner of his eye, thought about it, and said softly: "Third sister, this hairpin seems to be too gorgeous. ”

Zheng Yanru nodded and said, "Yes." ”

She glanced at Zheng Yangyang and said with a smile: "Jiu Niang, this hairpin will be given to you." You're old now, and you can afford it. ”

Zheng Yangyang took it with both hands, quickly glanced at the hairpin, handed it to Qiao Ran behind him, and said to Zheng Yanru: "Third sister, I like this hairpin very much, but it is useless, but I am also a little panicked in my heart." ”

"Fear what?" Zheng Yanru smiled heartily and said, "I'm just picking up things that are not suitable for me to do favors." I just hope that my sister won't dislike it. ”

"How?!" Zheng Yangyang and Zheng Yingying said in unison.

Zheng Yingying also picked a pair of earrings and a hairpin.

"And what about the rest of the sisters?" Zheng Lingyi obediently raised his head and asked Zheng Yanru.

Zheng Yanru twisted her face and said, "They are still young, let's give them to you first." ”

As soon as she finished saying this, she realized that she had forgotten Zheng Qiuqiu, who was one year older than Zheng Lingyi, and subconsciously said 'Yo', smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "Forget the fourteenth sister, let's go back next time." ”

Zheng Lingyi had a bad premonition in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just stretched out his hand and pointed to a pair of small pearl earrings.

Zheng Yanru took the earrings over and said to Zheng Lingyi: "This? ”

Zheng Lingyi nodded, Zheng Yanru laughed, turned her head to Zhixia and said, "Did I wear these earrings when I was as old as my fifteenth sister?" ”

Zhixia smiled and nodded, Zheng Yanru turned around and said to Zheng Lingyi: "Come, sister help you put it on." ”

Seeing that Zheng Yanru seemed to be much closer to Zheng Lingyi, Zheng Yangyang didn't have anything in her heart, but Zheng Yingying was a little unhappy in her heart.

Wearing the earrings, Zheng Lingyi looked in the mirror and smiled shyly and shyly.

Zheng Yanru is not a shy person, and her two sisters have no shy side.

Most of her sisters-in-law are shy, Zheng Changchang's shyness is a little immature, and Zheng Mianmian's shyness is a little cowardly.

Zheng Lingyi's shy but calm character, Zheng Yanru likes it very much.

Zheng Yanru took it upon herself to choose a chicken blood red bracelet for Zheng Yingying, a coral bracelet for Zheng Yangyang, a pair of lily sideburns for Zheng Lingyi, and a white jade heart.

Three pieces per person, which should be extremely fair.

It's just that Zheng Yanru suddenly remembered that Zheng Lingyi had just recovered from a serious illness, so she picked a rabbit velvet agate eyebrow for her, saying that she was allowed to wear it so as not to get cold on her forehead.

The eyebrows are a little big, Zheng Yanru asked Zhixia to quickly change a few stitches, and helped Zheng Lingyi put them on.

Zheng Lingyi touched the eyebrows on his forehead, looked at the jewelry in his hand, and said softly: "Third sister, thank you." ”

Zheng Yangyang smiled slightly and said, "Fifteenth sister, you are wearing it well." ”

This eyebrow is nothing rare, and anyone who knows how to do needlework can do it themselves, but the huge agate stone on it is worth a lot of silver.

Zheng Yingying's heart was a little sour, so she was silent.

She can't hide things in her heart, and something is written on her face.

Fortunately, Zheng Yangyang took the initiative to say that he had delayed Zheng Yanru's efforts and was going back.

Zheng Yingying also hurriedly thanked her and left, otherwise how could it be good for others to see her thoughts?

Both of them left, Zheng Lingyi naturally had no reason to stay, and left with the two sisters.

After Zhixia sent the three of them away, he turned back to the house, looked at Zheng Yanru who was packing up his jewelry, and said quite distressedly: "Third sister, why bother to take the real thing out for them?" They don't have the grace to wear those jewelry. ”

Zheng Yanru glanced at her and said, "I can't wear a lot of jewelry, what's wrong with sending a few pieces to my sister?" Besides, I didn't take out a single one of my favorites. ”

Zhixia sighed, stepped forward to clean up for Zheng Yanru, and said, "I know my sister's thoughts. ”

"What do you know and what are you saying this?" Zheng Yanru got up and pushed open the window a little angrily.

Zheng Chuchu married a dying husband, and Aunt Qiu was sent to Luokung Village.

Zheng Yanru disagreed with Lu's approach, went to Lu's to talk about it, and was punished for cutting off the pastries for January.

She thought about it, and always felt that she owed these sisters and aunts. That's why I took my jewelry out to give it away, and the younger sisters gave it away when they grew up.

She also asked people to quietly inquire about Aunt Qiu's situation, saying that she was locked up, and her daily meals were rancid, and she didn't know how long she could survive.

"And the fourth brother of the Wu family, who are the people in our family! What are you doing? Zheng Yanru said dejectedly and helplessly.

"Sister, the slave knows that you have a good heart. You don't have to worry about other people's affairs anymore, you also have to think about your own marriage. Zhixia said earnestly.

Zheng Yanru laughed at herself and said, "My reputation has been ruined by Zheng Rongxing's bastard, who else wants to marry me?" ”

Zheng Guogong has a brother named Zheng Qu, and for some reason, their brothers separated early.

Zheng Rongxing is Zheng Qu's sister-in-law, that is, Zheng Yanru's cousin, she has been pampered since she was a child, and her stinky mouth is famous in the capital.

The year before last, the two families had a very rare New Year, Zheng Rongxing and Zheng Yanru had some quarrels, and the Lu family was famous for protecting his shortcomings, so this kid swallowed his anger on his face, and turned his face to the outside to depict Zheng Yanru's appearance extremely ugly.

was so angry that the Lu family shouted a few words at Zheng Guogong rarely, and Zheng Guogong didn't give her a look, after all, this is related to Zheng Yanru's reputation.

Zheng Yanru's reputation as a saltless woman has already spread, and the Lu family's desperate efforts to make up for it have little effect.

If Zheng Yan is like a fairy, someone will naturally defend her.

It's a pity that her appearance is not beautiful, so it is difficult for people to go around and say, "The young lady of Zheng Guogong's Mansion is only slightly ugly, not extremely ugly." ”

It's no wonder that it doesn't make people laugh off their big teeth!

The Lu family had no choice but to spend money and effort to spread the news that Zheng Yanru was a talented woman and talented.

It's just that this girl is not so easy to be, Zheng Yanru is mediocre in poetry books, and there is a bit of fun in painting, but there is no fun, no talent.

Lu Shi found a pile of poems out of nowhere, and asked Zheng Yanru to read and memorize them by heart, pretending that she wrote them.

Zheng Yanru refused at first, and couldn't help Lu Shi crying and scolding, and refused to tell Zheng Yanru who this poem came from.

The mother and daughter were in a stalemate for a long time, until Lu Shi scattered these poems without authorization, saying that they were written by Zheng Yanru, and she was powerless to maneuver, so she took the poems as her own with a clear conscience.
