Zheng Guogong didn't know how to face Zheng Lingyi.

He originally had high hopes for her, hoping that she would make the Zeng Mansion Xie family feel satisfied, so that she would marry the Zeng family.

But she didn't do it, although the Lu family accounted for most of the reasons for it, Zheng Guogong still felt that Zheng Lingyi did not make much progress, in the final analysis, it was Zheng Lingyi who disappointed him.

Zheng Lingyi fell into the water last night, and he heard from Wu Rouxiang that this matter was done by the Qi family, and Zheng Lingyi was indeed difficult to prevent, but Zheng Guogong still complained a little about Zheng Lingyi, probably because she was incompetent and unlucky.

Zheng Guogong only thought about this kind of thing in his head, and he was not so cheeky, and he really used this rhetoric to reprimand Zheng Lingyi.

So when he saw Zheng Lingyi, Zheng Guogong was a little short of words, and comforted her a few words, and then asked her to go back to Xiyuan to stay.

Zheng Lingyi knows very well in her heart that she has become a chess piece in the hands of Zheng Guogong from an idle chess, and now, she has become an outcast.

Because she didn't have much expectations for Zheng Guogong, Zheng Lingyi didn't have much loss in her heart, but others always refused to believe it, always thinking that she was holding on so as not to worry about it.

Aunt Jiang already knew about it, and when she saw Zheng Lingyi, she couldn't hold back her tears, but she still comforted Zheng Lingyi with force, and she choked up after a few words of comfort, and Zheng Lingyi had to comfort her in turn.

Lu Nong didn't come back, Qiao Luo and Aunt Jiang naturally asked, after Zheng Lingyi explained, Qiao Luo wiped away his tears with his thumb, and said with some hesitation: "Madame may not be so sharp." ”

As soon as she had finished saying this, she heard a noise outside.

The three of them glanced at each other, Qiao Luo hurriedly walked outside, saw Yuezhi standing at the door, pulled out the handkerchief held in the palm of his right hand, wiped the thin sweat on his neck, and said as if he was a little uncomfortable: "What about Lunong?" Madame wants to see her and let her out. ”

Qiaoluo seemed to have been slapped on the spot, and he couldn't come back to his senses.

Seeing her like this, Yuezhi frowned a little impatiently, and then saw Zheng Lingyi walking out of the back room.

Zheng Lingyi had heard her words earlier, but he didn't answer, just looked at her for a while.

Yuezhi had already heard about Zheng Lingyi's skin color covering up all these years, but when she suddenly saw her, she was still amazed for a moment.

The peach blossom noodles in April in the world are probably the face in front of you.

Yuezhi came back to her senses and said to Zheng Lingyi: "Sister, why didn't Lu Nong come back with him?" ”

Yuezhi knew that Lu Nong must have no good fruit to eat, so his tone was a little unbearable.

Zheng Guogong went to the front yard to discuss the matter, and the Lu family couldn't wait to settle the account, she swallowed her anger in front of Zheng Guogong for so long, and was about to find someone to vent her anger.

Zheng Lingyi is engaged, Zheng Guogong is not allowed to move her with his face, and Lu doesn't want to be happy if she has a scar.

Sister can't fight, the servant can always be bad.

Lu Nong's heartfelt attitude by the lake was simply moving, Lu had already heard the version of adding oil and vinegar from Lu Xiaoyan, how could he let her go.

Just now he was only concerned about dealing with Zheng Lingyi in the carriage, and the Lu family didn't pay attention to whether Lu Nong had returned.

I only feel that the maid is like a sister's shadow, where Zheng Lingyi is, she is there.

Lu didn't expect Zheng Lingyi to be decisive, so he didn't let Lu Nong return home directly.

"She's gone." Zheng Lingyi said with a smile.

Qiao Luo and Aunt Jiang didn't even dare to come out, and looked at Yuezhi nervously.

Yuezhi showed a puzzled expression, frowned slightly, and said, "Sister, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Speaking of which, I have to discuss this matter with my wife, after all, Lu Nong is the person in her hands, probably yesterday I fell into the water, she was worried that she would fall into a crime of poor care, so she secretly ran away. I was in a daze last night, and I don't know when she ran away. ”

Zheng Lingyi said with a serious face, but Yuezhi didn't even believe half a word, even she didn't believe it, can this Lu Shi believe it?

Yuezhi struggled very much in her heart, and finally took a step into the house, and said to Zheng Lingyi earnestly: "Sister, it is too presumptuous to go against Madame at this juncture, and your dowry has to be passed from her." ”

Hearing her say something bright with the skylight open like this, Zheng Lingyi put away her hypocritical composure, smiled bitterly, and said, "Sister Yuezhi, do you want me to watch Lu Nong die?" ”

These words made Qiao Luo recall the past, and he involuntarily shrank for a moment.

Yuezhi looked at Zheng Lingyi's expression, feeling inexplicably relieved but very uncomfortable.

Zheng Lingyi has always treated his servants very well, and he didn't pretend to be in front of people.

Since receiving Zheng Lingyi's favor, this intentionally or unintentionally, Yuezhi's eyes always fall on Zheng Lingyi, and occasionally see her relaxed smile and gentle care in front of Lu Nong and Qiaoluo, somehow, Yuezhi is very shocked.

"It won't make it difficult for you to do it, I'll go with you to Madame." Zheng Lingyi walked to the door and stopped to wait for Yuezhi.

Aunt Jiang and Qiao Luo naturally wanted to stop her, but if this matter was over, would they have to wait for the Lu family to drag people in person?

The figure of the moon branch swayed, but did not move.

"I'll go back and talk to Madame first. Let's see how Madame reacts, if she can drag Grandpa Guo back from the outer courtyard for dinner, she will be over tonight. ”

This is the first time that she has helped Zheng Lingyi so obviously, which made Zheng Lingyi a little surprised.

Yuezhi glanced at Zheng Lingyi deeply again, and said, "Your dowry may be difficult, my sister must be prepared." ”

Zheng Lingyi lowered his eyes and smiled, and said lightly: "I know." ”

Yuezhi wanted to speak and stopped, probably because she felt that it was meaningless for her to say more, and she was only on the way back to Anheju, always thinking about it in her heart.

I'm afraid my sister never looked forward to how much dowry her wife could give her, but she is still young now, and she doesn't know how much she will suffer in her in-law's family without a dowry. ’

In fact, no matter whether Zheng Lingyi's dowry is large or small, as long as this Qiao family is her mother-in-law, her life in Wu Mansion will not be much better.

Wu Yongjun's wife Wan Yuanyuan is still Qiao's niece, and she is not reprimanded at every turn, and she has to set rules in front of her every day before dawn.

Gao Man also originally had his mother's family to support him, but the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces repeatedly clashed, and the Queen Mother De Jong always lost more and won less, and gradually the Gao family was somewhat excluded in this court.

The Qiao family has not yet tasted this way, if the Gao family is really weaker in the future, I am afraid that this Gao Man will not be happy.

With these two people as an example in front of them, Qiao's attitude towards Zheng Lingyi will only be worse.

Not to mention that Wu Zhi has a grudge against her for killing her mother, that is, Zheng Lingyi himself and Qiao's are also not in the right place.

Aunt Jiang and Qiao Luo couldn't sleep sadly, and in the middle of the night, the master and servant got up and chatted, and counted the silver and silver tickets in their hands over and over again, and the more they counted, the more worried they became.

"Sister's temperament, she will definitely not take the money she saved for you." Qiao Luo pushed the box under the bed again, sat down next to the bed, and said to Aunt Jiang.

Aunt Jiang's eyes were swollen and swollen, and her voice was very hoarse, and she said: "Although Fifteen also holds two Zhuangzi fields in his hands, we are not ordinary people outside, how can we see this idea?" ”

This marriage that fell from the sky really made Aunt Jiang unhappy.

It's not that he looks down on the Wu family, nor does he look down on Wu Punishment, but after all, he has a big burden on his back, and there is a mother-in-law like the Lu family on top, Zheng Lingyi is equivalent to getting out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den, so he is really not a good candidate.

She even felt that Qiao's would give Zheng Lingyi a little embarrassment and discomfort in the matter of proposing.

Zheng Lingyi's reputation was damaged, Zheng Guogong made up for it overnight, at best, he was indeed a loving father, as for him, some of him was a father's heart, and some of it was for the façade of the family, Aunt Jiang was unwilling to do this useless deep thought.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and Zheng Lingyi's somewhat confused voice came in, "Why don't you sleep yet?" ”

Qiao Luo hurriedly went to open the door for her, and saw her walking in in a thin undershirt and crawling into Aunt Jiang's bed.

"Are you thinking about my dowry?" Zheng Lingyi lay beside Aunt Jiang, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

"I'm a little worried." Aunt Jiang touched the delicate skin on her forehead and said.

Zheng Lingyi lay on the bed for a while, opened his eyes and glanced at Aunt Jiang, gradually regained some clarity, and said: "Even if Mrs. doesn't have half a child, the share that Zhonggong should give, Daddy will give it." We and the Wu family are families in the end, and now we are in-laws, and the dowry box is empty, and it is not good-looking. ”

"I'm just afraid that your father is like a fish in his throat about this marriage, and he deliberately ignores it."

I have to say that when it comes to Zheng Guogong's thoughts, Aunt Jiang is more sophisticated than Zheng Lingyi.

Hearing Aunt Jiang say this, Zheng Lingyi suddenly got up from the bed, ran to the side pavilion without saying a word, and walked back from the side pavilion after a while, holding a box of sachets in his hand.

"Isn't this the Double Ninth Festival gift that my sister prepared for Aunt Cao? There is still half a moon, what do you do when you take it out early? ”

There are four sachets in total, embroidered with all kinds of dogwood fruits, although the embroidery pattern is cute, but the sachet uses red, brown, blue, indigo these colors, but it is also in line with Aunt Cao's age.

"I'll send it to Aunt Cao tomorrow, and I'll say that the changes in this world are too unexpected, and it would be better to give it to her earlier so that I can feel more at ease."

As for whether this Aunt Cao will say a good word for Zheng Lingyi in front of Zheng Guogong after receiving the ceremony, and what is the weight of this good word, she can only resign herself to fate.

Zheng Lingyi stayed in Aunt Jiang's room, Qiao Luo blew out the candles, and went out lightly.

Zheng Lingyi rolled over and hugged Aunt Jiang's arm.

"Yangyang, are you a little scared?" Aunt Jiang noticed her movements and asked softly.

She thought that Zheng Lingyi must be a little afraid of this marriage, after all, the shadow that Zheng Guogong left on Aunt Jiang was not small.

After a while, I didn't hear Zheng Lingyi's reply, only her slow and regular breathing, and occasionally a short murmur like a kitten.

Aunt Jiang smiled dumbly, thinking that Zheng Lingyi was very big-hearted, and she fell asleep so quickly.

No matter how unstable people's hearts are today, the moonlight is no different from usual, it is still the courtyard and the moon, and the breeze between the windows.
