Zheng Lingyi wanted to go to the outer courtyard to have dinner with Zheng Guogong, but he couldn't hide the news, and he didn't deliberately hide it.

Aunt Cao seemed to have inquired about Zheng Lingyi's taste, but she usually ate all the dishes, so naturally she couldn't inquire about anything, so she only asked the kitchen in the outer courtyard to prepare some delicious side dishes, and also ordered to make a few exquisite dim sum.

Zheng Yingying cheekily came to Zheng Lingyi's room to sit in the afternoon, just to know the reason why Zheng Guogong was suddenly so close to Zheng Lingyi.

In fact, it's not just her, just now, the Lu family also sent Danzhu to send Zheng Lingyi a set of clothes, and Zheng Yingying, who vomited, was sour.

Although Dan Zhu didn't say it explicitly, looking at that posture, Zheng Lingyi had to wear it to see Zheng Guogong.

Today is a rare sunny day, the sun is full of sunshine, and the charcoal fire in the house has been saved.

Lu Nong took Zheng Changchang out to play, and Qiao Luo and Aunt Jiang went to bask in the sun under the porch at the behest of Zheng Lingyi.

Zheng Yingying sat upright, glanced at Zheng Lingyi from time to time, and saw her very calm appearance, only to feel more and more annoyed.

"What do you have to say?"

"Say what?"

The two sentences were tightly adhered to, like a confrontation and fighting.

"Say your means! Say how you curry favor with Daddy! Don't play dumb with me, we all know it's useless to please Madame! ”

Zheng Yingying really hates Zheng Lingyi, why does she always look careless, not fighting or grabbing, but all the good things fall on her?

"My sister is not stupid." Zheng Lingyi put the embroidery bandage aside, and just looked at Zheng Yingying in time.

"You don't ridicule me, do you say yes?" Zheng Yingying stood up, staring at Zheng Lingyi tightly with a pair of eyes, as if she could see the key from her face.

"Sister, you're scared, I understand." Zheng Lingyi is actually very impatient, but she is used to suppressing her emotions, and she can still say in a soft tone, "Don't say that I really didn't deliberately please, even if I have, sister, if you draw a gourd like this, is it really useful?" ”

Zheng Yingying took a few breaths and said, "You don't care if it's useful or not, you just tell me first." ”

After chatting with her for a long time, Zheng Lingyi suddenly felt extremely tired, and said a little scoundrel: "I told you, what good do I have?" If you don't tell you, what will you do to me? ”

Zheng Yingying saw her smiling look, and felt even more unhappy, and for a while all the taste came to her heart, she stood for a while, and then lay on the table and cried loudly.

One or two love to lie on this table and cry, this table must be very salty. Zheng Lingyi thought indifferently.

She doesn't like Zheng Yingying, and she doesn't feel anything special when she cries like this, if she insists on saying what she thinks, she may feel noisy.

Zheng Yingying can't hide things in her heart, it's nothing, but she always has to vent the emotions in her heart inappropriately, so that others will also be uncomfortable, which is very annoying.

The panic, fear, depression, and pain in her heart, Zheng Lingyi has never tasted anything, or rather, which concubine has not tasted it.

Not to mention the bitter water in his heart, he has to bear the catharsis of other people's heads and faces, and he is inevitably anxious, as if the sky above his head is about to collapse.

Zheng Yingying cried and had to have half a cup of tea, Qiao Luo came in to take a look, saw Zheng Lingyi waved his hand, and went out again.

After crying for so long, my crying voice became hoarse.

"Twelfth sister, do you want to drink a glass of water to moisten your throat and cry again?" Zheng Lingyi said half-seriously and half-jokingly.

Zheng Yingying raised her head sharply and glared at Zheng Lingyi, her face was full of fat powder, and there was a large patch of red, red and white, which looked really ridiculous.

She wiped her face with a handkerchief, looked at the tears that were wiped off, and knew that her face was unbearable, and she turned around angrily to leave.

"Twelfth sister." Zheng Lingyi stopped her.

"What to do?! You've had enough of my jokes. Her voice was calmer, and it seemed that there was some use in crying.

"I really don't have any way to please Daddy, but I have a piece of advice for you, do you want it?"

"Just say it, what else are you selling?" Although Zheng Yingying said this, her tone was obviously much softer.

Zheng Lingyi was not unfamiliar with her gentle and soft words, smiled indifferently, and said: "If Madame shows you someone, you will definitely send someone to inquire outside, Aunt Ai has many relatives outside, and it will not be difficult to inquire about things." If there is still a way to enter the stream, don't scruple about it, and the more you ask, the better. If you find something wrong, you must tell your father and ask him to make decisions for you. ”

Zheng Yingying thought for a while, and said quite lost: "Is this all?" ”

"Sister, do you really think I have some three-headed and six-armed skills? My life is not in my own hands in the end. Zheng Lingyi laughed dumbly and laughed at himself.

Zheng Yingying was silent for a while, and then went out without saying anything.

When Qiao Luo and Aunt Jiang returned to the room in the sun, Zheng Lingyi had already returned to the side pavilion.

Qiao Luo went to take a look, and saw that she was curled up on a soft pillow to watch the account, her socks were kicked off at some point, and her shiny toes stepped on the brown and black soft cushion, like snow falling on the muddy ground.

Qiao Luo said helplessly: "Why doesn't my sister wear socks, the cotton cloth we use now is much better than before, and it can be used as a belly pocket, do you still feel uncomfortable wearing socks?" ”

Zheng Lingyi was mentally calculating a few numbers, and he didn't hear what Qiao Luo said at all, but just responded casually.

She didn't look nervous at all, if she changed to another sister, she was afraid that she would be restless.

Qiao Luo took the dress that Lu Shi had awarded, looked at the golden silk peony on the red satin, and sighed: "This dress is so lively and festive, and no matter how bright the material is, it can be used as a wedding dress." My sister doesn't like such a bright and powerful color, and Mrs. must be deliberately unpleasant. ”

"Where will Madame pay attention to what color I like, it's just that she thinks it's precious, and she wants to make up for it in front of Daddy." Zheng Lingyi glanced at the clothes, and indeed felt that the color was dazzling.

"Sister, it's almost time, let's change it first. Yo, that's new. As he spoke, Qiao Luo rubbed his wide sleeves on his face, and said uncertainly, "You shouldn't have done anything, right?" ”

has been by Zheng Lingyi's side for a long time, and even Qiaoluo has become a suspicious and thoughtful character.

Zheng Ling couldn't help but smile when she saw her cautious appearance.

There is indeed nothing wrong with the clothes, and I don't think Lu Shi will be stupid enough to do things so blatantly.

Aunt Cao was very punctual, she had never been to this West Garden, and when she was waiting at the door, she glanced left and right, although her eyes turned badly, she didn't say a word.

Aunt Guo seemed to be waiting for Aunt Cao early, and wanted to ask Aunt Cao to borrow a step to speak, but Aunt Cao was stunned and refused to move, so Aunt Guo had to stand outside Aunt Jiang's house with her.

After Aunt Guo slapped a few sycophants, she secretly took a purse and tried to stuff it in Aunt Cao's palm, and asked Aunt Cao to throw it out at once.

Lu Nong happened to see this scene, and hurriedly turned his back, and it was obviously Aunt Guo who was embarrassed at the moment, but Lu Nong was even more panicked and embarrassed than her.

Although Zheng Lingyi saw what Aunt Guo had done, when she saw Lu Nong's expression, she understood seven or eight points at the moment.

Zheng Lingyi walked up to them lightly, smiled at Aunt Guo, and said to Aunt Cao: "Aunt Cao, I'm sorry to wait for a long time, we can go." ”

Aunt Guo's face was full of words and stops, but she could only stand in place and watch Zheng Lingyi and Aunt Cao leave together.

Zheng Lingyi had never felt that the distance from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard was so far, especially when passing by Anheju, there was a feeling of thorns in his back.

Aunt Cao also seemed to be aware, and turned her head to take a look, I don't know if it was an illusion, after Aunt Cao looked at it, Zheng Lingyi seemed to feel that the feeling of being secretly watched by others was a little lighter.

Zheng Guogong's courtyard in the outer courtyard is called Qingju. In fact, there are rooms for him to rest in the inner courtyard and outer courtyard, and he asked Zheng Lingyi to go to the outer courtyard this time, obviously to avoid Lu's ears and eyes, Zheng Lingyi understands this reason, how can Lu not know it?

The little guy at the door of Qingju saw Zheng Lingyi coming, so he ran back to report the news, so as soon as Zheng Lingyi walked into the room, the food on this table was complete.

Curly raw dragon whiskers, pickled fish sausage sauce, quail soup, roasted kidneys, braised muntjac hair, mixed squid, rough look, either river fresh or meat, poured a plate of cabbage and sweet and sour eggplant on his hand.

Zheng Guogong was wearing a light robe at home, and he was already sitting in his position, he pointed to the empty seat on his side, and said to Zheng Lingyi quite kindly: "Come, Yangyang, come and sit down." ”

As soon as he heard Zheng Guogong call himself by this little-known nickname, Zheng Lingyi suddenly felt that his scalp was numb, and his heart was mixed.

The name Zheng Lingyi was given by Zheng Guogong, in fact, when Aunt Jiang was pregnant with her, she also secretly thought of a name, that is, Yangyang.

The name Yangyang, only when Zheng Lingyi was unwell when she was young, Aunt Jiang would call her lightly to coax her, and now that she is getting older, she has not heard others call herself like this for many years.

Zheng Lingyi didn't feel good in his heart, but his face looked stunned, and he walked to Zheng Guogong and sat down, and said, "Thank you, Daddy." ”

Zheng Guogong glanced at her with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and saw that she was a little unaccustomed to pulling up the sleeves of this dress, and said, "This dress is a new reward, right?" ”

"Madame is lenient." Zheng Lingyi said naturally.

She raised her eyes to look at Zheng Guogong, and saw that he seemed to be smiling rather than smiling, with a clever look of insight into the world, and for some reason, she suddenly felt unhappy.

The dishes on this table are delicious, although Zheng Lingyi eats elegantly, he has never put down his chopsticks at all.

Zheng Guogong is used to eating, only occasionally sandwiching a chopstick dish, taking a sip of the wine cup, and looking at Zheng Lingyi meaningfully.

"When your fifth brother's first child lands safely, I will seal a bag of silver for you." Zheng Guogong said.

The movements of chewing and picking vegetables slowed down, and Zheng Lingyi turned his head to look at Zheng Guogong, his eyes slanting and sharp.

Zheng Guogong also looked at her, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and drank all the wine in the wine cup.

Aunt Cao stood in the corner, only glanced at it, then withdrew her gaze, and said in her heart, "The eyes of this father and daughter are really exactly the same." ’
