That night, Zheng Guogong stayed in Aunt Qiu's room in Dongyuan.

What is incomprehensible is that Lu Shi did not move a finger of Aunt Qiu, and he did not even reprimand.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and Aunt Jiang didn't regret her choice that day.

In fact, she hopes that Zheng Guogong will never come to her house in the future, and let her and her two daughters live a good life, which is the best thing.

Zheng Lingyi also thinks so, every time Zheng Guogong comes, Qiaoluo has to stay in the side pavilion with the two of her.

Qiao Luo naturally didn't go to bed, just hugged the quilt and leaned on the side of the bed to nap, and had to wait for hot water to scrub in the middle of the night, which can be said to be sleepless all night.

Zheng Lingyi felt very sorry for her.

However, it is obvious that not everyone is as thoughtful as Aunt Jiang's mother and daughter.

Aunt Zhong's daughter Zheng Chuchu is very proud, this biological mother who is honest and wooden in her eyes can be regarded as fighting for her.

She knew that she was not from a high background, but if her aunt could blow more pillow wind in her father's ears, maybe there would be more of this marriage.

Zheng Chuchu thought as he looked up at the bare tree outside the window.

Now that autumn is coming to an end, the cold winter knocks on the door, but the corners of her eyebrows and lips are always lingering with a faint sense of spring.

"Siniang, Siniang, Siniang." Aunt Qiu screamed three times in a row, only to see Zheng Chuchu turn around slowly.

"Auntie, what's wrong?" Zheng Chuchu asked rather leisurely.

Aunt Qiu looked a little bitter, and the corners of her mouth seemed to be falling with something, and she couldn't laugh.

"Why haven't you been talking lately? I embroidered the purse alone, and this input was too little. I bought a lot of rouge gouache, did you use it? ”

She reached out to check Zheng Chuchu's makeup box, and was snatched by Zheng Chuchu and held in her arms.

"What a fight. When I get married, are you still worried that you have no money to spend? Zheng Chuchu stroked his hair and said with a light smile.

A cold hand was placed on Zheng Chuchu's forehead, she impatiently took Aunt Qiu's hand away, and said, "Auntie, what are you doing!" ”

"I don't think you're burned out, are you? Your mother-in-law was chosen by his wife, what can he give you? Aunt Qiu picked up the needle and thread and sat down, and skillfully embroidered a happy purse.

"Don't say it, Madame is really good this time, and the family that looks at me is really good." Zheng Chuchu's eyes flashed with expectation.

Aunt Qiu didn't believe it, but she also hoped that Zheng Chuchu's words were true, and she cautiously asked, "Which family?" ”

"The Wen family. Their master is a doctor, although the official is not as good as his father, but the sister-in-law in the family is very competitive, one is a waiter, and the other is a waiter, which is much more expensive than the errand of the fifth brother. ”

Zheng Chuchu's appearance as a few treasures couldn't help but make Aunt Qiu suspicious, and asked, "How do you know this?" ”

Zheng Chuchu said indifferently: "Naturally, I spent money to inquire." ”

"Who did you ask?"

Aunt Qiu's tight questioning made Zheng Chuchu feel very uncomfortable, and said with a frown: "Auntie, you don't understand anything, why do you ask so much?" Just wait for me to get married, and I will naturally give you decent. ”

When Aunt Qiu wanted to ask again, Zheng Chuchu was already very impatient to go out.

She stood there and sighed, only picked up the purse to embroider, and stabbed it down with a needle, and the silk thread was long and withdrawn, as if she was venting her anger and hating her own incompetence.

These things about the Wen family were asked by Zheng Chuchu to ask Mrs. Tan in the outer courtyard.

This Mrs. Tan has a pile of clothes and laundry in her hands, and she often walks outside, so she is always well-informed.

Zheng Chuchu sold a few pieces of jewelry, exchanged for silver and let Qiaoxin secretly give it to Mrs. Tan, if there is no silver to drive, who will work hard for you?

Zheng Chuchu thought that Mrs. Tan was working in the outer courtyard, and his actions were hidden, so he would definitely not let the Lu family find out.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Tan had just accepted her silver taels, so she went to Lu Shi to find out all about it.

Although the people in the outer courtyard are not in the hands of the Lu family, Mrs. Tan has a daughter named Zhixia.

Zhixia is the eldest maid in front of Zheng Yanru, and her daughter has to rely on the inner courtyard, how dare Mrs. Tan not please the Lu family?

Lu Shi glanced at the ten taels of silver in Tan Pozi's hand, and said with a smile: "Since she gave you this silver, you can accept it." If she asks you to inquire, you just have to inquire, you can't take money and do nothing, so pick up some good things to say, and don't mention those bad ones. ”

Mrs. Tan was a little puzzled, and her triangular eyes secretly raised to peep at Lu's expression.

Contempt, disdain, and a sense of anticipation for the beginning of the show.

She lowered her head again and said respectfully, "The old slave knows." ”

Seeing that Mrs. Tan was gone, Qiao Zhu came to Lu's side and said, "The fourth lady is too self-conscious, and the Wen family is also what she can think of?" And Aunt Zhong, what a slut! Madame is too generous. ”

"Although it is said that men marry low, women marry high. But her vision is too high. Lu Shi played with a string of beads in his hand and said with great interest: "That's it, let's make them happy for a few more days." ”

Three days later, Zheng Chuchu ushered in Qiao Zhu's message.

Tomorrow, Mrs. Wen and her young lady will come to the Guogong Mansion for tea, and invite Zheng Chuchu to accompany her to talk.

Zheng Chuchu was overjoyed, but he was very overwhelmed, and said to Aunt Qiu: "Auntie, what jewelry and clothes do we have?" When that day comes, I can't wear these things that I can't handle, right? ”

Aunt Qiu was still stunned, she couldn't believe that the Lu family would be so kind, and when she heard Zheng Chuchu say it again impatiently, she got up and went to find a hairpin under her mattress.

This hairpin is pure gold and red gold, smooth throughout, but a handful of peaches are carved on the top.

This hairpin is obviously different from the kind of inferior goods that Aunt Qiu wore in the past.

Zheng Chuchu's eyes lit up at first, and then he said dejectedly: "Auntie! Such an old-fashioned atmosphere, when I celebrate my 80th birthday, I will not be able to wear it! Why didn't you take it out earlier? If we take it out earlier, we can go outside and get another one. ”

Aunt Qiu touched the hairpin and said timidly: "This is what the master gave me a few years ago." ”

This hairpin is so old-fashioned, Zheng Guogong is afraid that he picked it up casually and sent it to Aunt Qiu, and he didn't spend any thought.

Zheng Chuchu sighed and said, "Forget it, it's better for me to think of it myself." ”

On the day of the Wen family, six female dependents came.

In addition to Mrs. Wen's Cheng family, there is also her concubine Bao, a concubine, and three concubines.

The Lu family only let Zheng Yanru, Zheng Yanxian and Zheng Chuchu come.

Seeing that the Wen family's concubine's dress and appearance were not inferior to their concubine's, Lu Shi felt a little embarrassed, so he asked Qiao Zhu to call Zheng Yangyang and Zheng Lingyi again.

Among the older group of concubines, Zheng Yangyang's appearance is the most outstanding.

Although Zheng Lingyi is younger, his facial features are pretty, and it is difficult to hide it even if he wears yellow powder every day.

Aunt Jiang couldn't say the first half of the admonition, and Zheng Lingyi was dragged away by Qiao Zhu.

Qiao Zhu's hand was very strong, Zheng Lingyi was dragged by her like a prisoner, her wrist was sore, but Qiao Zhu still didn't listen to the urging, "Hurry up!" ”

She was very annoyed in her heart, and she just wanted to shake off a few ear scrapers, but she was small and weak, so she could only endure it.

Seeing that she was about to arrive at the gate of the courtyard, Qiao Zhu stopped, and squatted down to sort out Zheng Lingyi's somewhat wrinkled dress, and re-tightened her belt for her, which was unprecedented.

Zheng Lingyi was tossed by her, anyway, in the eyes of these people, he was just an object.

It is no different from the jade Ruyi on the flower table in the main hall of Na'an and Juju, or the glazed flower bottle placed in the corner of the wall.

Zheng Lingyi combed a double bun today, with goose yellow silk satin wrapped around her sideburns, which looks really childish, with a pretty goose yellow long skirt, it is also very suitable, and it will also make people think that she is still a child.

Although Aunt Jiang uses yellow powder to cover up Zheng Lingyi's snow skin every day, her eyebrows are already outstanding, her nose is small, her lips are angular and angular, and her chin is pointed.

At this point, if others don't have eye diseases, they can see that she is a little beauty.

"Okay, sister, go in with me." Qiao Zhu looked Zheng Lingyi up and down, and then advised: "If the Wen family asks something, my sister will answer it well." If she didn't ask, her sister wouldn't have to speak, so as not to make too many mistakes and make Mrs. unhappy. ”

As soon as he spoke, Danzhu also came with Zheng Yangyang.

Zheng Yangyang saw that Zheng Lingyi was the only one there, and he was still a little strange in his heart.

As soon as I entered the door and saw that the Wen family, whether it was a concubine or a concubine, she looked good, and then she understood the Lu family's intentions.

"Who are these two little beauties?" As soon as Bao saw them come in, he put down the teacup and asked with great interest.

Zheng Chuchu's heart suddenly lifted, and he looked at Zheng Yangyang with some jealousy.

"This is my ninth and fifteenth child." Lu said with a smile, a gentle and kind attitude.

Zheng Yangyang and Zheng Lingyi saluted the Wen family's daughters together, and then saluted the Lu family.

Lu Shi smiled: "Sit down." As he spoke, he pointed to the two vacant seats beside Zheng Chuchu.

Zheng Lingyi was still young and was soon ignored, and the two ladies opposite asked the newcomer Zheng Yangyang.

When asked about her age, Zheng Chuchu hurriedly answered for her: "I'm three years younger." ”

In fact, there is only a few days of difference between Zheng Chuchu and Zheng Yangyang.

Bao and Mrs. Wen glanced at each other, and whispered while serving the teacup: "This is really too small." ”

And Jiu Niang is slender and slender, wearing a duck shell green gown and a moss-green pleated skirt, which looks very plain, and the plain ones are a little thin.

is still Zheng Chuchu's body is plump, and it is easy to give birth to when he looks at it.

"Mother, I want to go out and play." Cheng's concubine is the youngest of them, named Wen Xiangzhi.

She was about the same age as Zheng Lingyi, and after only sitting for half an hour, she couldn't sit still, she was coquettish to Cheng's family, and wanted to go out to play.

Cheng coaxed her a few words, and then listened to Lu Shi's gentle words: "Fifteen, you go out to play with Sister Wen." It's right in the yard, but don't go far. ”

Zheng Lingyi slid down from the chair, bowed to Lu, and said, "Yes, madam." ”

Cheng pushed the boat down the river and said, "Then let's go." But be obedient. ”
