Chapter 61: Lu Yuxin
On the day Wu Rouxiang got married, many people in the outer courtyard saw General Wu, and Zheng Lingyi also heard some rumors, saying that his appearance was really similar to the Wu family brother who lived in the Guogong Mansion before, especially the thick eyebrows, and he didn't believe it if he was not his own child!
I don't know if these words have scratched Wu Rouxiang's ears.
However, Zheng Lingyi didn't have the leisure time to pay attention to her thoughts, and concentrated on being a cautious little girl.
On the day Zheng Yanxian got married, Zheng Lingyi was still hiding in the room to carve incense seals.
Although the Lu family does not allow the aunt to show her face, if the concubines want to join in the fun, they are allowed.
Recently, some rumors have come out from someone that she is mean to the concubine, and the Lu family wants to let the concubine show her face in front of others, which makes her more generous.
Zheng Yangyang, Zheng Yingying, and Zheng Qiuqiu all went, but Zheng Lingyi didn't go, she didn't go out of the door these days, which provoked Brother Qing to enter the house to listen.
Knowing that it was for Zheng Yanru to carve incense seals, Brother Qing stopped talking, twisted his body and left, he should have returned to Anheju as he said.
Since Mama Gu was bedridden, Brother Qing's life in Xiyuan has become more and more moisturized, and the bits and pieces of things that the aunts used to honor Mama Gu are now in Brother Qing's pocket.
Aunt Wan said privately that if Brother Qing saves a private house for a few years, he is not afraid to become an old girl, maybe it is better, he doesn't have to serve his in-laws, and he doesn't have to work hard to manage the housework.
"Phew." Zheng Lingyi gently blew away the sawdust, touched the fine wood, and only felt calm.
It was so lively outside, Zheng Changchang was also a little moved, and wanted to follow and take a look.
It's just that seeing that Zheng Lingyi didn't mention it, she was embarrassed to mention it. Zheng Changchang's temperament is very quiet, and after a few stitches of embroidery, the whole person has no distractions, and no other trivial matters are concerned.
Lu Nong entered the house with the Xiyuan sweet soup that An Heju had enjoyed, and saw one of them sitting at the table, and the other leaning on the embroidery frame. Seeing this, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion, 'Whoever gives birth to such a pair of obedient and dexterous daughters is a blessing in the previous life. ’
Zheng Lingyi looked up at her when she heard the sound, her smile was slightly curved, and she was extremely cute.
"Sister, I've eaten a full breakfast again, let's use some first. Qiao Niang has a lot of work in her hands today, and she must have no snacks. Fortunately, the third sister remembered us and sent the joy to the people in the east and west, and look, there is a poached egg. ”
Lu Nong put the high-legged wedding bowl on the coffee table and beckoned Zheng Lingyi and Zheng Changchang to eat.
Zheng Lingyi and Zheng Changchang sat on the side, and Zheng Lingyi naturally fished out the poached eggs in the bowl to Zheng Changchang.
"Sister, you can eat." Zheng Changchang looked at the poached eggs in the bowl and hesitated.
"You're all about to catch up, and you're talking about this, eat quickly." Zheng Lingyi glanced at Zheng Changchang amusedly and said.
Zheng Changchang puffed out her face angrily, and obediently ate two poached eggs.
Zheng Lingyi's bowl of Xiyuan also divided a few bites of Lu Nong, but Lu Nong just tasted it, and was embarrassed to eat it again, so he deduced that he still had work to do, and hurried out.
After eating, Zheng Changchang felt a little supportive, so Zheng Lingyi took her to Jiaoyuan for a walk.
Today, the vicinity of Anheju is very lively, and there are some children's crisp laughter in the distance in Xiqing Garden.
The sisters walked hand in hand on the mottled turf of the pepper garden, and gently sang a nursery rhyme that Aunt Jiang taught them.
"The feet of the donkey are spotted, and the feet are in the South Mountain. Nanshan Beidou, raising domestic dogs. The house dog grinds flour, thirty bows and arrows. On the horse lute, off the horse lute. The donkey's hooves and horses' hooves shrank by one. ”
Although the nursery rhymes in the market are innocent, there are always some people who like to make a fuss about words, and there are many people who died in these things in the past.
Although Aunt Jiang is a woman and a child, she has heard some of them, and she also knows a few words, so she teaches nursery rhymes, but she just chooses some catchy but meaningless nursery rhymes.
The two of them finished singing, looked at each other and smiled, and then planned to open their mouths to sing again, when they suddenly heard a male voice from behind the big stone in the pepper garden, and sang very sarcastically: "I will cry again, I will laugh again, and the two yellow dogs will carry the sedan chair." ”
Zheng Changchang subconsciously hid behind Zheng Lingyi, and the two took a few steps back, and saw a head poking out of the stone.
Zheng Lingyi was slightly stunned, blessed, and said, "Second cousin." ”
Zheng Changchang looked at this thin-eyed young man in surprise, only to feel that he was not at all similar to Lu Congxin, and he didn't look like Qi's.
Seeing Zheng Lingyi saluting, Zheng Changchang still hesitated to follow Fu Fu and said, "Second cousin." ”
The young man jumped down from the stone, bowed to the two of them, and said, "My cousin has a good memory, and she still remembers me." ”
His right hand was wrapped in a white cloth, and I don't know if he was injured.
He is the son of the Lu family, called Lu Yuxin.
"You're here to be a sedan chair boy today?" Zheng Lingyi said subconsciously.
Lu Yuxin waved his right hand at her, smiled dumbly, and said, "Is my cousin joking?" ”
He loosened the white cloth on his hand little by little, and Zheng Changchang saw that there was a short bald finger next to the little finger of his right hand, which turned out to be six fingers.
Zheng Lingyi was a little embarrassed when he rarely said the wrong thing, and explained: "What is this, I don't even remember that you are six fingers." ”
Zheng Changchang swallowed her saliva, for fear that she would show some bad behavior at this time, which would make the other party sad and unhappy.
Lu Yuxin didn't regard this strange thing on his body as a matter of importance for a long time, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Zheng Changchang seemed to be very nervous observing his expression, so he started to tease her, revealing a look of resignation.
Sure enough, Zheng Changchang was even more at a loss, stumbling to learn her sister's words, and said, "Yes, yes, what is this." ”
Lu Yu nodded sadly, and smiled at Zheng Changchang again, he would subconsciously squint his eyes when he smiled, as if a beast had spied on his prey.
He slowly wrapped the white cloth back and knotted it with one hand, which was extremely skillful, and he looked like he was used to it.
Zheng Lingyi didn't ask him why he came here, and there were some things that he still didn't know much about.
Although no one came here, and the three of them were cousins and brothers, in order to avoid suspicion, Lu Yuxin still left first.
"Sister, it turns out that he is the second cousin." Zheng Changchang looked suddenly enlightened.
Lu Congxin and Lu Xiaoyan were born in the Qi family, and the Lu family also has two concubines and two concubines, but the number of times they met was too small, and some people's appearances and names Zheng Lingyi didn't remember much, but they could still remember when they met.
I heard that Lu Yuxin was brought back by Lu Weiyin from outside, and she was already pregnant when she raised her aunt, with a fox-like bewitching face, Lu Yuxin's slightly raised eyes were like her.
However, he was thin and tall, and his appearance was cold, and these fine eyes added to the solemn atmosphere, making people feel that they were difficult to approach, and there was no flattery.
"The children who came out of the concubine really don't have a good life to live." Zheng Changchang suddenly said in a low voice.
These words made Zheng Lingyi think of himself, of the other sisters, and of Wu Punishment.
They are all concubines.
After Zheng Lingyi and Zheng Changchang left the pepper garden, a servant came out from behind the big stone.
If Zheng Lingyi is still here, he will definitely be able to recognize that this maid is a second-class maid beside Zheng Yanxian, named Hong Li, she is going to go to Lu Mansion with Zheng Yanxian this time, but she will stay and clean up the pieces, and she will go the next day.
It seems that in Lu Mansion, there are also people who have woven a net, waiting for Zheng Yanxian to jump inside.
Zheng Lingyi took his sister back to Xiyuan, and An An stayed until the excitement outside dissipated little by little.
Lu Nong came back with dinner, Zheng Yanxian got married today, it was rare to have a bowl of braised pork for dinner, Zheng Changchang had a great appetite, and used braised meat juice to bibimbap, and ate happily, Zheng Lingyi and Aunt Jiang shared a bite of rice with her.
Lu Nong squatted down and wiped the sauce from the corners of Zheng Changchang's mouth with a handkerchief, and said to everyone: "I heard that the third sister ran back from the outer courtyard crying all the way earlier, and I don't know why. ”
"Crying all the way?" Zheng Ling repeated it puzzled.
Lu Nong nodded, hesitant and uncertain, "It seems to be because of a few words from my cousin." ”
Zheng Lingyi continued to eat with a clear face, and said: "It must be Zheng Rongxing's stinky mouth that caused the trouble, maybe he said something about the third sister in front of the big guy." If the two families are dirty, let's have less contact. Whenever I see their family, something will happen. ”
Aunt Jiang answered, and said with some disapproval: "How can you talk like this, after all, it is also your uncle and your cousin." ”
"Madame doesn't treat them as relatives anymore." Zheng Lingyi said softly.
Aunt Jiang retorted softly: "But Grandpa Guo still recognizes this family business, otherwise he wouldn't have invited their family here today." ”
Zheng Lingyi deliberately approached Aunt Jiang, tilted his head and said playfully: "Then if I see Zheng Rongxing next time, should I step forward, or stay away?" ”
Aunt Jiang was speechless for a while, but still said, "Then it's better to stay away." ”
Zheng Lingyi was as proud as if she had pinched Aunt Jiang's handle, but she was bounced by her.
"Don't be the one who sees the wind and steers the rudder, although Grandpa Guo ignores the back house, there are some things in his heart, which still have a lot of weight."
Aunt Jiang looked at Zheng Lingyi worriedly, for fear that she would follow the Lu family in everything and offend Zheng Guogong when the time came.
Zheng Ling commented on Aunt Jiang's solemn face, and also listened to her words, and said, "Auntie, I know." ”
Aunt Jiang was relieved at this time, and put a piece of ruddy meat in Zheng Lingyi's bowl.
Zheng Changchang said coquettishly: "I want it too." ”
A bowl of braised pork can make the three of them happy for a long time.
Yihuan Pavilion was full of delicacies at the moment, Zheng Yanru locked herself in the room alone, Lu persuaded and scolded at the door, and she still refused to open the door.
Just now, Zheng Yanru ran back crying, so that many people saw it, and the Lu family had the best face, so he was naturally angry.
"Today is your sister's big day, you are crying and howling here, you have to make the happy event a joke!"
Danzhu helped her by the side and said, "Madam, you better go back first." Wait until my sister calms down and can listen to the words. ”
Lu Shi was also angry at this time, he couldn't listen to Danzhu's persuasion, he opened his mouth and was about to scold, when the door suddenly opened, and Zheng Yanru's calm face appeared in front of Lu Shi's eyes.
"Mother, my family affairs are difficult to settle, if you think my daughter is embarrassed, I will twist my hair and become a sister-in-law, if I think I am embarrassed to be a sister-in-law outside, you can build a Taoist temple at home for me." Zheng Yanru had no expression and said coldly.
"You wicked obstacle, you're going to me off!" Lu Shi pointed at Zheng Yanru, a little incoherent.
Zheng Yanru smiled indifferently, closed the door again, and shut Lu's scolding out of the door.
