Except for the embarrassment when I looked at the gifts before, the rest of the time was better.

Zheng Lingyi also said a few words to Wen Xiangzhi, the two of them haven't seen each other for a while, Wen Xiangzhi is older, and she loves to laugh as before.

It's just that the ladies in the second room of the Wen family always stared at the two of them, for fear that Wen Xiangzhi would tell Zheng Lingyi something about her own family again.

"It's boring!" Wen Xiangzhi was upset by their staring, and some servants kept coming over to let Wen Xiangzhi go back, Wen Xiangzhi was so unbearable that she had to part with Zheng Lingyi in a hurry.

Wen Xiangzhi left, Zheng Lingyi had to bury her head in eating, if others wanted to talk to her, she would cover her mouth and chew, making a look of only listening and not talking.

Everyone has different thoughts, Zheng Lingyi chooses to be low-key and cautious, but Zheng Yangyang is very enthusiastic, talking and laughing with others, which is very natural.

Xue Shi seemed to glance over again, and although he quickly withdrew his gaze, he was still noticed by Zheng Lingyi.

"Big sister's mother-in-law, why are you paying so much attention to us?" Zheng Lingyi felt a little strange, but he couldn't figure it out.

She doesn't have the ability to calculate, even if she pays attention everywhere, she can't really get a glimpse of the minds of others, so she can only think more in her heart and avoid traps carefully.

The chrysanthemum cup at this banquet tastes really good, although it is a pastry, I don't know how to do it, it was made into a chrysanthemum pot with crispy petals and thin cicada wings.

Zheng Lingyi tasted two lamps together, but unfortunately he couldn't take them back for his sister and aunt to taste them.

After returning to the Guogong Mansion, Zheng Lingyi talked to them about this chrysanthemum, and he still showed regret.

"Sister doesn't have to worry, just eat."

Lu Nong twisted the wet pap to wipe Zheng Lingyi's hands, Zheng Changchang was listening to the drool, and when she heard Lu Nong say this, she nodded and agreed: "Yes, maybe I will have a chance to eat it in the future." ”

Zheng Lingyi pretended to wipe the saliva from the corners of Zheng Changchang's lips, Zheng Changchang found out that she was making fun of herself, the two laughed again, and after the lights went out, the sisters fell asleep again.

Zheng Lingyi was sleepy today, so he went to bed early, but Lu Shi hadn't rested at the moment.

"Madam, it seems that Grandpa Guo is going to return late today." Danzhu was arranging the mattress for Lu Shi and taking out the soup woman who had been stuffed into the futon earlier.

When she got up, she saw that Lu Shi was still sitting upright, obviously not planning to go to bed, so she put back the still warm soup woman.

"These few days are the time when the situation is changing, and it is not strange for Grandpa Guo to return late." Lu Shi said very calmly, obviously not sleepless for this matter.

"Is Madame thinking about the Wang family?" Dan Zhu said.

Lu Shi raised his eyes and glanced at her, and said, "Yan Hui told me today that her mother-in-law still seems to think that Lao Jiu is good, and that Fifteen has no scheming. ”

Danzhu still didn't understand what the Lu family was thinking, so he only said the truth, "It's time for the ninth sister to get married." ”

"I'm afraid that Lao Jiu is scheming, if he marries into the Wang family and knows that her husband is a, is, that kind of goods, he is resentful, and secretly makes a stumbling block for Yan Hui, wouldn't that be lifting a stone to hit our own feet?"

Speaking of which, Lu is still worried about his biological daughter.

Dan Zhu was puzzled, and said: "Madam, please forgive the slave and maid for being stupid, the second brother of the Wang family was also born white and tender, but he looked weak." If you really get this marriage, the ninth sister should thank you, why did she still kill the eldest sister? ”

Lu Shi showed a little weakness in a very rare way, and said: "You don't know, the second brother of the Wang family is a good man. In order not to ask him to go to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion to mess around, the Wang family ruined the style. had to condone him to raise a few little people in the house, and the most smoky miasma was the same. ”

Zheng Yangyang is also an innocent daughter, if she marries such a husband, how disgusting will the future be?

Danzhu felt a chill for no reason, although he wanted to say something, he couldn't squeeze out words.

"Why don't you speak?" Lu Shi took a sip of soothing tea, but he hadn't heard Danzhu reply.

Dan Zhuqiang smiled and pondered: "Since the second brother of the Wang family has such an unbearable thing, even if the lady is for the sake of the eldest sister, she should persuade the Wang family to split up earlier." If you break up, you don't have to worry about what the ninth sister will do to the eldest sister. ”

"You're on the point." Lu Shi nodded and said, "Yes, taking advantage of the fact that the Wang family is asking us now, we can plan for Yan Hui." ”

She blew out the oil lamp at hand, and it was dark in the room, and it was another ordinary and unusual night.

The Wang family set up a banquet today, and there were a lot of trivial things, and the Xue family was busy until three o'clock before they could rest.

"The old lady has really worked hard today, and the lights have already been blown out in the Lingbo courtyard." The old mother who had served Xue's side for many years was very distressed and said.

"She will sing the good drama at the front desk, and I will clean up the troubles in the back." Xue laughed at himself.

"Old lady, why bother. It's not like we don't have a sister who knows the roots. ”

The old mother is Xue's confidant, whether she can see the light or not, she knows everything in her heart.

"Those sisters who know their roots, even if they are not my mother's juniors, are all related to each other. You and I both know in our hearts that this family business is not a marriage but a feud. I don't dare to gamble with my relatives and relatives, since the willingness in Lingbo Courtyard to ask her sister to marry in, it is worth it for me to endure her for a few days. ”

Xue is a thoughtful person, and he thinks clearly about the importance of the stakes.

"Bring me the embroidered picture."

The embroidered picture in Xue's mouth was taken by Zheng Yanxian from Zheng Yangyang, and Xue said that he wanted to enjoy it, so Zheng Yanhui gave it to her very generously.

The old mother sent the little maid to get the embroidered photo, unfolded it under the oil lamp, and handed it over to the Xue family.

"Although this sister's craftsmanship is still passable, the old slave thinks that it is not worth staying up all night to enjoy under the lamp."

It must be an old lady who has been serving for many years, and she can speak so frankly.

The lines at the corners of Xue's mouth were deep, and he stroked a thick green in the lower right corner of the embroidered photo, and said, "You, you are really old now, and your eyes are not good." ”

The old mother bent down to stare at the thick green that Xue Shi was referring to, her cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, and said, "It turns out that the sister-in-law of Lingbo Courtyard has such a poor character, and she takes the objects made by the concubine herself as her own. ”

Xue smiled softly and said, "Just look at her eldest sister, you can see that it is a family history." ”

"This maid secretly branded the mark, and it seems that she is also a person who refuses to suffer." Seeing Xue's contemplation, the old mother thought about it for a while, and said, "Could it be that this concubine is what you fancy old lady?" ”

"It's good if you don't want to suffer, although Jiru doesn't grow, it's also a piece of meat that fell from me. Lingbo Courtyard is the most calculating, if you marry someone who only thinks about everything, and listen to the concubine she sends to be a concubine, Jiru really has no hope in this life, even if she is a concubine, she has to have a powerful concubine. ”

The heart of the Xue family's fist and the love of the son can really be compared with the Lu family.

"It's still the old lady who is thoughtful." Although the old mother said this, she couldn't help but add, "No matter what our brother says, he is also a concubine, and marrying a concubine of her family should be grateful." ”

Xue Shi glanced at her and said very bluntly: "The matter in the Confucian courtyard is still something you and I have seen with our own eyes and done it with our own hands." In all fairness, his pro-fact is not good. ”

"Old lady, brother, that's because he's young and ignorant, his temperament is, it's a little ridiculous, but he may not be able to break it."

When the old mother heard Xue's confession like this, she had to persuade a few more words, which showed that she was also weak-hearted.

"Although those little guys in his yard are delicate, are they comparable to the maids I picked? I asked, those maids are still Yunying's body! ”

It's good not to mention this matter, the Xue family is really getting angrier and angrier the more he mentions it.

But even if it is qi, it has just made its start now, and after a few days, when the Lu family arrives under the pretense of visiting his grandson, the Xue family is really holding his breath.

What the Lu family said and did when they went to Wang's house, Zheng Lingyi naturally didn't know.

It's just that after she came back, there was a faint rumor that the Wang family felt that Zheng Yanhui was pure and kind, and she was generous and serious, so she wanted to choose a good daughter-in-law from the Zheng family's daughters.

"Auntie, don't you think it's strange?"

Aunt Wan was talking happily to Aunt Jiang about this matter, obviously thinking that this was a good marriage.

Aunt Jiang didn't have any extra joy, and she thought that this news was a little strange.

Aunt Wan looked at Zheng Lingyi, the confusion on her eyebrows and the joy on the corners of her lips bloomed on her face at the same time, looking a little ridiculous.

"What's so strange?" Aunt Wan was puzzled.

Zheng Lingyi suddenly hesitated, feeling that he was too talkative.

Zheng Changchang's mouth was too sour, she wrinkled her face sourly, but she still struggled to say: "Sister thinks that the Wang family is so satisfied with the eldest sister, it's a little strange." ”

These words have passed, and Aunt Wan 'shhh ”

Zheng Lingyi smiled and nodded, as if she agreed, but what she thought in her heart was, 'The Wang family and the Guogong Mansion have already tied a rope, why add another one?' And the Lu family, will you really ask the concubine to marry her? ’

In addition to confusing Zheng Lingyi, this family affair also made Zheng Guogong not very satisfied, after all, the Wang family was gradually weakening, and it was not beneficial for him to marry.

However, I heard that Lu Shi just wanted to choose a concubine to marry, and Zheng Guogong didn't want to care about it.

"Okay. The ninth year old has also arrived, she is a concubine, not like the third child who has a mother's attachment, and it is really not decent to keep her unmarried. ”

Zheng Guogong has been exhausted these days, and he is very busy, and occasionally comes back, which is another marriage that is not quite in line with his heart.

I thought what I said was logical, but when I saw that Lu Shi was still a little hesitant on his face, he said angrily: "What? ”

Lu Shi smiled awkwardly, planted the uncertainty in his heart to the Wang family, and said, "The Wang family doesn't seem to have a candidate yet." ”
