The marriage between Zheng Lingyi and Wu Zhi was hurriedly decided by the two families.

Although it was decided, the Wu family didn't even have a word for it, when to be hired, when to pass the door, the Lu family and the Qiao family didn't even discuss it.

Zheng Lingyi's marriage was ahead of Zheng Yingying again, and she was uncomfortable in her heart, but because Zheng Lingyi's marriage did not look very good, Zheng Yingying didn't bother to say anything sour and vinegary.

Everyone in this house knows that Zheng Lingyi is now planted in the pit, covered with sludge, and he can't get up in this life.

Zhiqiu came back from the outer courtyard with snacks, and happened to catch a few gossiping little maids, although she didn't stop her, but those maids saw her coming, and scattered as birds and beasts, and swept away the pretending shower.

Even if he didn't hear what they were saying, Zhiqiu could guess with a guess.

"Sister, what are you looking for?"

Zhiqiu walked into the house with a snack and saw Zheng Yanru spreading a furoshiki on the tea table, with a two-palm-wide box on the furoshi, and she was looking for those private objects with her back again.

Zheng Yanru poured a small bowl of golden beans on the bottom layer of the box, and poured another layer of silver buns.

Zhiqiu put the peach cake aside and came to Zheng Yanru's side to watch her busy work.

"When I take care of it, you secretly send it to the fifteenth sister, and say that I used it to add makeup to her."

Zheng Yanru said in a hoarse voice, opened the second layer, stuffed a stack of thick silk brocade into it, and then put a pair of jade bracelets on the brocade, the transparent jade color was faintly blue, like the blue sky behind the white clouds.

There is a pair of blue and jade earrings on the side of the jade bracelet, which can be matched with the bracelet.

Zhiqiu heard Zheng Yanru's crying, and knew that she must have been wronged in front of the Lu family when she just asked for peace, but she didn't say anything, just looked at Zheng Yanru distressedly.

"Do you want to give this pair of Fujin Pig sisters too?" Zhiqiu saw Zheng Yanru put the golden pig in the box and asked.

Zheng Yanru was not reluctant at all, and put a few hairpins that she hadn't worn for a long time, "I have more things like this in my hand, what's the point of giving some out?" The fifteenth sister is afraid that she can't even save two golden melon seeds. ”

Everyone in the house knows that Zheng Lingyi's family business is very good, and even if Zheng Yanru helps her, it is just a drop in the bucket, and it is better than nothing.

Zheng Yanru stood at the table for a while, turned around and took out two land deeds from the dark compartment of the bookcase.

"Sister, isn't this too expensive?" It's not that Zhiqiu is stingy, if Zheng Yanru marries, and the Zhuangzi and fields that accompany the dowry are all in her hands, she naturally won't care about this one or two children.

But half of the bankers that Zheng Yanru is holding in her hand are obtained on her birthday, and half are bought by her rent and savings in recent years.

"It's just the other thing. It's just that this Zhuangzi and the land are adjacent to the Wu family's land, I asked Huang Xing to inquire yesterday, and the land is the Wu family's, not Qiao's. I thought about giving it to the fifteenth sister, but it would be more suitable. ”

Zheng Yanru said, a little unable to hold back her tears, hurriedly stuffed Tian Qi into the box, and took out a silk handkerchief to wipe her tears, thinking that all the busy work just now was to hold back her tears.

Zhiqiu squatted down on her knees, looked up at her with great distress and said, "Sister, did Madame say something ugly again?" ”

Zheng Yanru sobbed for a while, and said sadly and incomprehensibly: "The third sister has misbehaved, the thirteenth brother has been beaten by the board in the palace, and all the disasters are bigger than mine, I just didn't get married, but in her eyes, I can't compare to the two of them!" ”

Zhiqiu felt very uncomfortable when she heard this, but she was not a person with a lotus tongue, and after a while, she only squeezed out one sentence, "If my sister can't help it, the slave will accompany you to twist her hair and be a sister-in-law." ”

Pu's loyalty was overflowing, and Zheng Yanru burst into laughter.

She stroked Zhiqiu's face, and said as if she had some feelings: "One thing is that I and the fifteenth sister are the same, we both have a good maid who is like a sister. ”

When it came to Lu Nong, Zhiqiu also said with feelings: "The fifteenth sister must treat her very well, otherwise Lu Nong would not be so heart-wrenching, but now she is out, and Mrs. has sent the government to look for her, thinking that it must be very difficult to sleep in the open air." ”

Lu Nong did not return to the National Mansion, and at a glance, he knew that it was Zheng Lingyi's idea, how could the Lu family not take any action.

In addition to being a little harsh on the diet, she also punished Zheng Lingyi for copying scriptures, and asked the moon branch to get it for inspection every day, and Zheng Lingyi almost had to sleep time.

As for Lu Nong, the Lu family even informed the government to arrest her. But a few days have passed, and there is still no news.

"I really don't know how my mother's mind turned, a few years ago, the little maid and the steward in the outer courtyard escaped a lot, she checked for a long time and didn't find out why, and finally it was gone. Now it's just the maid in the back house who has escaped, why did she escape, she knows it in her heart! Don't you feel sorry for letting the people of the government look for it with such fanfare? ”

Zheng Yanru could only say this to Zhiqiu, probably holding it in her heart for a long time, so she was so excited that her face turned red.

Zhiqiu hurriedly brought her a cup of hot tea, and coaxed her to eat some pastries, and then said: "Sister, you can't always think so badly about your wife, you won't be able to live like this, you have to think about how good she is to you." ”

Zheng Yanru just nodded, and she didn't know if she had listened to this.

Zhiqiu deliberately looked for some side words to say, and when he entered the courtyard, he caught a glimpse of the lady in the front hall who was full of the smell of books, and said casually: "The Mi family is a rare guest, and that lady has been sitting for almost an hour." I don't know what I'm here for. ”

There was a slight itch on her neck, Zheng Yanru reached out and scratched it, thinking, "The wife of the Mi family? She doesn't have any friendship with her mother, so something should happen again, right? ”

This Mi family is now low-key and can no longer be low-key, three generations ago it was prosperous, a university scholar, a household servant is from the Mi family.

It's a pity that the descendants don't have the mind to be an official, and they study and compile books all day long, and the head of the Mi family is just a nominal doctor in the court, and he doesn't have any real power, but the most important thing in the house is the reputation of the Qing noble, and others can't even ask for it.

"How can my sister think about the worst? I see that Aunt Cao is also in it, maybe Grandpa Guo has something to do with the Mi family. Zhiqiu said angrily, "Besides, aren't the Mi family and the little lady still related to each other?" ”

After Zhiqiu mentioned this, Zheng Yanru remembered that the Mi family was not Wu Rouxiang's grandmother's mother's house?

That is, the maiden family of General Wu's mother-in-law, but because General Wu is a concubine, this relationship is somewhat diluted in the eyes of outsiders.

"If you don't say it, I'm afraid my brother and sister will forget about it." Zheng Yanru also said a joke, and her mood was a little relieved.

The master and servant stayed in the house for an afternoon, and after Zhiqiu served Zheng Yanru for dinner, he took advantage of the handover of the maids in the courtyard to cover up the heavy small box with a food box, and walked to Xiyuan without hurrying.

But when she arrived in Xiyuan, she didn't see Zheng Lingyi at all, and then she knew that she was inexplicably dragged to the Buddhist hall by the Lu family to punish her for kneeling.

I don't know if it's for Lu Nong, or for something else, or if it's a whim of the Lu family, in short, it will take an hour to come back.

An hour later, probably when Zheng Guogong came back, Lu's calculations were really accurate, and he wanted Zheng Lingyi to suffer every moment of suffering.

Zhiqiu also felt sorry for them, but she couldn't do anything, she put down the box and told her a few words before leaving, but Aunt Jiang and Qiaoluo held her and said a lot of thanks.

Zhiqiu was even more reluctant in his heart, brushed Aunt Jiang's hand, and left in a hurry.

Qiao Zhu saw Zhiqiu coming and going from the pantry, but he didn't move, hiding behind the crack of the window, although it was a little sneaky, but it was also a compromise.

said that it was a compromise, but she didn't ask, and she didn't bother to report it to Lu's, in fact, she was already very biased towards Zheng Lingyi.

Although the slit in this window is narrow, it also accommodates the passage of time.

Qiao Zhu saw Zheng Lingyi walking back slowly, as if he didn't want to limp because of knee pain, so his steps were broken very much.

The girl's slender figure flashed into the door, disappeared from Qiaozhu's sight, and was reflected in Qiaoluo's pupils.

"Sister! You're back!? Qiao Luo hurriedly stepped forward to support her and carefully sat her down.

Before Zheng Lingyi could speak, a hungry cry sounded in his stomach, Qiao Luo hurriedly took out a few plates of pastries, and said: "Today's dinner is very unpalatable, the slave maid simply doesn't ask my sister to eat, let's eat some pastries." ”

Zheng Lingyi picked up a piece of soft rice cake and stuffed it into her mouth, Aunt Jiang walked out of the side pavilion, she just coaxed the sick Zheng Changchang to rest, she saw Zheng Lingyi coming back, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Does it hurt in your knees, do you want to rub the medicine." ”

Zheng Lingyi shook his head, swallowed it and said, "How is Chang Chang?" ”

"It's not hot anymore, it's just that people are still a little soft." Aunt Jiang sat down beside Zheng Lingyi, her eyes full of pity.

"Change my flowered lotus cloak for her to wear."

Zheng Lingyi pinched the pastry and paused for a moment, obviously holding back what he really wanted to say.

Zheng Mianmian and Zheng Changchang squatted on the corridor to play with sandbags, and I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Zheng Mianmian was clearly wrapped in a shirt, but Zheng Changchang, who was wearing a single coat, had to change positions with her.

Zheng Changchang had a thin sweat on her body, and suddenly blew a cold wind at the tuyere for half an hour, and as soon as she came back, she was groggy and confused.

Zheng Mianmian can't be said to be an ignorant child now, but in the end, she can't be blamed for this matter alone, Zheng Changchang's temperament is so soft, which really worries Zheng Lingyi.

She is very worried now, after thinking about Zheng Changchang's affairs and remembering the indignant look of the Lu family today, Zheng Lingyi sighed, but she was relieved.
