Chapter 216: Qiao Shuqing
Zheng Lingyi knew that he was a little sick, and he was worried, first, he was worried about his body, and second, he was worried that he invited Gao Manyi in the afternoon, which made the people below neglect to take care of him.
She didn't show it when Wu was punished, as soon as he went to Dali Temple to be on duty, Zheng Lingyi sat at the table, holding his cheeks and was stunned.
"Madam, don't worry, Lingxi Yuan handed over the news, saying that Brother Dian'er's fever had subsided at night." As soon as Lu Zhu got the news, he hurried to tell Zheng Lingyi.
"Really? That's great. Zheng Lingyi was a little more relaxed now, and he also had the heart to eat pastries.
Lu Zhu also stuffed a piece of white sugar cake in her mouth, she puffed out her cheeks and chewed it, and said, "The slave maid just heard that Aunt Yang went to the Lingxi Courtyard last night to ask the doctor to see the fourth sister. Lingxi Yuan refused, and only at dawn did another doctor come in. ”
"Really? It seems that the fourth sister is really dyed a little, not only did she apologize, but she actually covered it up, which can be regarded as a grudge. Zheng Lingyi put himself in his shoes and felt that it was difficult to forgive Wu Yan.
Zheng Lingyi asked Luzhu to go to Lingxi Courtyard to find out, saying that Gao Man still refused everyone's good intentions to visit.
Zheng Lingyi understood very well, she actually asked, today she was going to visit Zheng Qijun in the county lord's mansion and send her spring shirt over. In this way, I plan to go out early.
Zheng Lingyi also chose a piece of jade pendant and used it to line this dress to buy things for her own brother, she was never stingy.
It's just that there is a stingy guy who has to compare, and his clothes also need jade pendants to match.
Zheng Lingyi took out a belt buckle from the box again, she couldn't find a jade pendant with the right style and color, but she saw this belt buckle in the jewelry shop, saying that the jade was variegated and not expensive.
However, Zheng Lingyi felt that the white jade was entwined with wisps of ink, and his attitude was leisurely, like the ink marks of a brush in the inkstone pool, which was not interesting, anyway, it was bought for his husband, as long as he liked it, it didn't matter if it was expensive or not.
"Green beads, pack up, take Jiaojiao with you."
Zheng Lingyi put on her coat and was about to go out, but when she heard that Aunt Yang was visiting, Luzhu glanced at her, and felt bad.
Aunt Yang seems to be a straightforward person, but at this moment, she seems to be extremely twisted, and there is an urgent matter behind her, so she has to speak: "Third Young Lady, I invited the doctor outside to see Yan'er, and I have already prescribed medicine, but there is a precious medicinal material, you, can you go and persuade the second young lady, ask her to hand over the key, and open the warehouse so that the doctor can catch the medicine?" ”
Zheng Lingyi didn't drink a sip of the tea in his hand, and put it back on the tea table, "Go buy it outside." Send a fast-legged little guy out, it's very fast to come and go, why bother to provoke the second young lady on this inch? You also understand the feeling of motherhood. ”
"But, isn't my brother feverish? Can't the second young lady not remember the villain? ”
Aunt Yang is not stupid, she can hear that Zheng Lingyi is not on her side, and her voice is getting lower and lower.
"If the fever is gone, does it mean that the fourth sister is not wrong? It was not prudent for her to go to visit her because she was in a strange shape, but then she concealed and lied, if it wasn't for her body not being able to stand it, she would inevitably shirk her responsibility. ”
Aunt Yang opened her mouth to argue, Zheng Lingyi waved her hand and said, "The current sufferer is not me, I don't have the power to be generous to others." ”
"Third young lady, the doctor said that this medicinal herb is not commonly available in pharmacies, and the lady also said that it would be delayed if she ordered someone to go out to buy it. And we have it at home, just, it's convenient, Yan'er is wrong, but you can't watch her boil on the oil pot. ”
Zheng Lingyi also admitted that what Aunt Yang said made some sense, plus she was in tears, so she naturally softened her heart, but she suddenly felt that Aunt Yang's behavior was a little strange, and when she heard her mention Qiao's words, she had some doubts, so she said: "Either go to the second sister-in-law or ask the two elders for this matter, what are you looking for me for?" ”
Aunt Yang also looked a little puzzled, and said: "I went to find Mrs., but Mrs. said that you and the second young lady are the best, let me use your mouth to persuade the second young lady." ”
Zheng Lingyi bit his lip, quickly let go, and smiled at Aunt Yang: "Thank you for telling me honestly." ”
Aunt Yang looked at her with some confusion, and then heard Zheng Lingyi ask, "What kind of medicine is missing?" ”
"Peony." Aunt Yang said dumbfounded.
Zheng Lingyi almost laughed and said, "How can peony be a precious medicinal material?" ”
"It's said that it's going to be aged with double-petaled peonies." Aunt Yang argued.
"The fourth sister is young and strong, and a pair of cinnamon soup is almost inseparable, so why ask for any double-petaled peony. The doctor who treated the fourth sister was introduced by his mother-in-law, right? ”
The last sentence is Zheng Lingyi's blessing as good as his heart, and he said it in passing, but he didn't expect Aunt Yang to actually nod, Rao is Aunt Yang is straightforward, and now she probably has come back to her senses.
She got up and paced a few steps with her handkerchief, and then made up her mind: "In this case, then I will let people buy medicine first." ”
Zheng Lingyi nodded and said, "Go quickly." ”
Seeing that Aunt Yang was gone, Zheng Lingyi took a sip of tea and said to Lu Zhu: "Look, I almost didn't pay attention to it, and I fell into a plan to divide myself." I also can't figure it out, why is this Qiao's spirit so full? ”
Lu Zhu didn't want her to think about these unhappy things, so she coaxed her to go out to see Zheng Qijun quickly.
As soon as Zheng Lingyi went out, he happened to pass by the carriage of the Qiao family.
Qiao's carriage has always been extravagant, but now it has become very simple, if it weren't for the coachman who still hasn't changed, the gatekeeper probably won't be recognizable.
As soon as the car door opened, a man and a woman came down, and the girl was born a little like Qiao's, but her eyes were bigger than hers, and her forehead was a little higher, and she had a dignified attitude at a young age.
The boy was a little younger, he looked like he was only seven or eight years old, his small face was round, and he looked very innocent.
As soon as he saw their outfits, the housekeeper glanced at the little servants, and the two little servants took a few steps back, one to the south courtyard and the other to the Ling Pavilion
The housekeeper knew that the girl was Qiao Guanying's daughter-in-law, Qiao Shuqing, but he didn't know who the boy was.
Qiao Shuqing took the boy straight to the south courtyard, but it was not the Ling Pavilion that he went to first.
Zheng Lingyi went back to Wu's house before dinner, Wu Punishment came back earlier than her, and sat on the edge of the soft collapse early to read a book, what was on his side was the new clothes, the stacking of the new clothes was a little messy, Wu Punishment should have tried it himself.
"Is the right dress?" Zheng Lingyi smiled deliberately.
Wu Zhi nodded, glanced at her again, and said, "The waist buckle is very good-looking, and it complements each other." ”
His own thoughts let him see at a glance, Zheng Lingyi was happy in his heart, and he also felt hungry, and was ordering someone to pass the meal, but he heard Wu punish him: "Today, the Qiao family is here, and I have to go to the South Courtyard to eat." ”
Zheng Lingyi raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Someone from the Qiao family is here, tell us to go?" ”
"The old wife of the Qiao family went, and there was really no one in the Qiao family, so let the two children report it." Wu Zhi said lightly, unable to see likes and dislikes.
The implication is that there are just two children, and there is no need to worry about it.
Mrs. Qiao really experienced great grief and pain, and when she returned to Qiao's house, she was sick for a long time, and she only left yesterday.
Zheng Lingyi and Wu Zhi did not gloat, and they did not have to make a sad attitude of a rabbit dying and a fox, people died like lights going out, and the future and past that were tied to her were also cut off.
Zheng Lingyi changed her clothes, put a painting that Zheng Qijun gave her in place, and then went to the South Courtyard with Wu Punishment.
Zheng Lingyi and Wu Punishment both saw Qiao Shuqing for the first time, not to mention the boy next to her.
Qiao Shuqing took the initiative to get up and greet the two, and then took the boy and said to him: "Stool, this is your third cousin and third cousin." ”
In this way, Zheng Lingyi knew that this boy was the heir of the successor, and he was Qiao Shuqing's younger brother.
A few people are considered equals, Zheng Lingyi returned the half courtesy, and asked Luzhu to present a gift, and said to the two of them: "When we meet for the first time, be careful." ”
Qiao Shuqing seemed to be a little flattered, but quickly smiled, accepted the gift, and asked her brother to thank her.
Although the boy is not very clever, he is very sensible, Qiao Shuqing asked him to say and do anything, he was obedient, and always followed Qiao Shuqing obediently.
Zheng Lingyi had an idea inexplicably, now this Qiao family, I'm afraid that Mrs. Qiao has the final say, no, without Mrs. Qiao, she is the only Mrs. Qiao.
Although Zheng Lingyi and Wu punished their faces, there were actually few people at the table, Wu Yongjun said that he was sick, and Gao Man also had to take care of the children, so he never came.
In fact, the most reason not to appear is Qiao's, after all, it was her biological mother who died, and she was so sad that she didn't have the heart to show up in front of others.
Zheng Ling's opinion that although Qiao's is a little sad, it is also very limited, and her mind is still resting on Zheng Lingyi.
Every time Qiao Shuqing said a word to Zheng Lingyi, Qiao's gaze followed him, making Qiao Shuqing embarrassed to speak anymore.
After the banquet was dismissed, Zheng Lingyi and Wu Zhi naturally walked quickly, but unexpectedly, Qiao Shuqing followed from behind, and said to Zheng Lingyi and Wu Zhi: "Cousin and sister-in-law, my mother asked me to give this to you, which is a little bit of a thought." ”
She handed over a box as she spoke, but Wu Zhi didn't stretch out his hand, Zheng Lingyi glanced at him, and didn't move.
Seeing this, Qiao Shuqing said: "It was all secretly given by my aunt in the early years, and today it can be regarded as the return of the goods to the original owner." ”
Wu Zhi frowned slightly, and looked into the distance with some disgust, Zheng Lingyi knew that he disdained Qiao's actions, so he reached out and took the wooden box.
Qiao Shuqing was blessed and said very lightly, "Thank you." ”
Seeing her leaving, Zheng Lingyi was a little stunned, Wu Zhi took her hand and led her to the quiet residence.
After returning to the quiet residence, Zheng Lingyi opened the box and saw that there was a stack of deeds and a letter inside.
Wu Yan glanced at it, not very interested.
The letter was written by Mrs. Qiao, no wonder her daughter came to deliver the letter, the letter was full of gratitude, and it must be suspicious if it fell into the hands of others, Zheng Lingyi lit a candle on the letter paper as soon as it was finished, and turned into wisps of green smoke in the water bowl.
The couple didn't care much about this matter, and Wu Zhiqi said, "How is my brother?" ”
Zheng Lingyi smiled before saying a word, and said: "Seeing him again this time, I feel like a little adult, the county lord really loves him, and he also invited a gentleman in the house to teach him." It's just that......
Seeing that she was silent, Wu Zhi said, "Just how? ”
"Daddy wanted his younger brother to go back to Zheng's house, and quarreled with the county lord." Zheng Lingyi sighed.
