Chapter 227: Opportunity
Until the second day, Wu Zhi had not returned home, Zheng Lingyi was a little worried, but she still did what she had to do as usual, thinking that General Wu was afraid that he would be a little tired of eating medicinal food, so today he packed a cup of sweet soup and sent someone to the South Courtyard with a knife holder.
General Wu likes this ebony knife holder, so he doesn't live on the knife holder to pat and touch it. The wood of this knife holder is hard and delicate, the texture is clear and the texture is smooth, even if it is placed there to enjoy it, it is also good.
"Although this knife holder is good, it is not necessary for me, so let's take it to your courtyard and use it for the third child." Old General Wu stroked the gentle arc of the knife holder, turned to Zheng Lingyi and said.
Zheng Lingyi was scooping the soup, the clear amber sugar water, a few red wolfberries and dried longan that had absorbed the water fell at the bottom of the bowl.
"But this is what Daddy gave you." Zheng Lingyi said and handed the sweet soup to General Wu.
General Wu took the sweet soup and said with a smile: "Then I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and the knife holder is given to my son-in-law, and your father will not say anything." ”
There are a lot of weapons in General Wu's courtyard, and the knife holder is naturally indispensable, but Wu Punishment has no accumulation, and the sword is described by himself, so that the blacksmith shop in the bazaar fights, and there is no serious knife holder.
Zheng Lingyi thought of this, so he no longer shirked and accepted it for Wu Xuan.
Today, Zheng Lingyi went back to Zheng's house for dinner, and missed General Wu's request for pulse, so he asked people to take a look at the pulse.
Originally, she listened directly to the doctor's explanation, but it was the first time she looked at the pulse case in front of General Wu, and General Wu asked with some curiosity: "Can you understand this pulse case?" ”
Zheng Lingyi nodded embarrassedly and said: "It's a bit of a show, I saw a lot of medical skills when I was in the boudoir, and I once consulted a doctor, although I don't know how to take the pulse to see a doctor, but I still understand a little bit of pharmacology." Father-in-law, your body has been watched by this doctor, I have listened to it a lot, and I often discuss medicinal diet prescriptions with him, and I can see that this pulse case is quite transparent. ”
General Wu nodded approvingly and said, "Don't talk about it, I have indeed slept soundly at night recently, and I have your share of credit here." ”
Zheng Lingyi said with a smile: "This is the daughter-in-law's duty, and I don't dare to take credit." ”
She accompanied General Wu for a while, and then she said goodbye.
When I returned to the quiet house, I saw Luzhu rushing back from the Zhuangzi, happily holding a basket full of red eggs.
The previous one, Qiao Luo gave birth to a male doll!
Zheng Lingyi had long wanted to visit Qiaoluo, but Qiaoluo asked Guo'er to bring a message and asked Zheng Lingyi not to come, Zhuangzi has not been able to live in peace these days!
It's not that there is anything in the Zhuangzi, but the road outside the Zhuangzi is full of pits dug overnight, and the carriage can't go at all.
But on the second day, there were still potholes all the way, and the work in the field was not delayed, so I took a hoe and walked to the field. It's just that the wagons can't get in, and the fruits and vegetables can't be transported.
This road is connected to the Zhuangzi of several families, and for a while it is not clear who this matter is aimed at, so I can only fill in the road again, and send people to patrol in turn at night.
But the person who did this didn't find out, and it rained again last night, and the newly filled pit was not real, it was like a swamp nest, and it was strange that Qiao Luo could let Zheng Lingyi come.
Lu Zhu went this time, and the carriage was also parked far away, Zhang Qishi led a few people, paved a path for Lu Zhu with long slats all the way, and slowly led her in.
Zheng Lingyi kept a few of the basket of red-skinned eggs, and the rest were distributed to the people in the courtyard.
Zheng Changchang peeled two and ate them, the tips of the fingers were red, and she wiped her green face, and the green condensed her shoulders to avoid her, and Zheng Changchang leaned in to chase her.
Zheng Lingyi looked at the two of them laughing under the porch, smiling with his cheeks raised.
Luzhu not only brought back red eggs, but also a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits from the Zhuangzi, and entered the small kitchen directly from the side door.
Zheng Lingyi is placing a plate of plums in his hand, the skin is purple and shiny, it is extremely sweet at first glance, a bite of the skin and flesh, the sweet and clear juice suddenly gushes into the mouth, the meat is thick and small, and it is really pleasant to eat.
Zheng Changchang and Zheng Lingyi were a little restrained, and they ate two in a row before stopping.
"This plum is excellent, how many are there?"
Zheng Lingyi wanted to reach out and take another one, but he was afraid that eating too much would hurt his stomach, so he pinched the plum in his hand, handed it to Lu Nong, and stuffed another one for Lu Zhu.
The stone said, although there are many plum trees on this village, only two old trees have the best fruits, but unfortunately there are not many fruits, so they are picked and picked together, and there is only a small basket, but there are always seventy or eighty. In a few days, another one will be harvested. ”
Lu Zhu actually tasted two plums on Zhuangzi, so he quietly put the plums away and did not eat them immediately.
Zheng Lingyi said to Lu Nong: "Send some to the South Courtyard and Lingxi Courtyard, and then reward some to the people in the courtyard, how to reward it, you know in your heart." ”
Lu Nong promised, this is not a difficult errand, Mother Jin and Qiao Niang naturally want a few, the rest of the mothers are less, each person has a taste, and the rest of the people don't have to give, when the day is hotter, there are more fruits on the Zhuangzi, and then reward.
Zheng Lingyi originally wanted to send some to the Mi family, but there are not many plums, and they are sent over in small shapes, which will inevitably make people laugh, so it is better to wait for the next batch of harvests to be more, and it is not too late to send them.
"Sister, what are we going to eat at night?" Zheng Changchang was aroused by a few plums, and asked Zheng Lingyi with a wink.
Dong Ni looked at Zheng Changchang's squeamish appearance when she was by Zheng Lingyi's side, on weekdays in the Zheng family's back house, she rarely did this, she was always like a little beast who was always alert, even when she was sleeping, her ears were erect high.
Zheng Lingyi looked at Lu Zhu, Lu Zhu was very bright-eyed, and said, "Slave and maid, let's take a look." ”
She walked with a light step to the kitchen, passed by Pell and gave her the plum in her sleeve.
As long as it was given by the green beads, Pei'er didn't look at it carefully, so she quickly hid it in her arms, and when she looked at the back of the green beads, her eyes seemed to be shining.
Although Wu Zhi is not in the quiet residence, after all, the inner room is the most private residence of the husband and wife, not to mention the mattress.
Although Zheng Changchang really wants to stick together with her sister, she is a big girl after all, and she is a little embarrassed to occupy her brother-in-law's bed.
Zheng Lingyi gossiped with her until midnight, and she was still unsatisfied, so she simply accompanied Zheng Changchang and rested in the guest room.
Green beads also stayed in the guest room to keep vigil, the door of the main house was rarely empty, the doorkeeper of the door occasionally carried a lantern around the circle, saw that the lantern under the eaves went out, so he went to the bamboo pole to pick up, added lamp oil, and re-ignited a halo.
One turned around, but saw a black shadow standing in front of him, so frightened that Mrs. Wang almost fainted, but fortunately the corridor was bright, she looked up and saw her master's face, so she took a long breath and said, "Young, young master, why did you come back at this time?" ”
When Wu Zhu came back, he didn't go to the main gate of Wu's house, and he climbed in directly from the wall, but when he arrived at the door of Jingju, because he was afraid of startling the people in Jingju, he also knocked on the door and asked the doorkeeper to open it, but Wang Pozi was too attentive to the lantern and didn't notice it, which scared her.
Wu Zhi looked tired, only nodded and walked into the house, Mrs. Wang remembered that Zheng Lingyi was not in the main house at this time, and hurriedly said: "Young master, the in-laws are here today, and the lady is sleeping in the guest room with her." ”
Wu punished his steps for a moment, and only said: "I know, get some water and food, it's good to be simple." ”
Mrs. Wang couldn't hear what his mood was, and since Wu Zhi had ordered it, although it was not her usual errand, she hurried to do it.
Mrs. Wang was used to being rude, and she didn't realize that it was the dead of night, and there was still the sound of rushing water.
On the edge of the well are a few subordinate rooms, in the house Fen Niang is sitting sleepily on the gong bucket, Zhu Yu snoring in the house is like thunder, day after day, it is simply a kind of torture.
There was a sound of water outside the house, and Fen Niang felt that she had no luck in sleeping tonight, so she put on her coat and went out to investigate.
"Mother Wang? In the middle of the night, what are you doing fetching water? "Fen Niang has always been flattering in front of these mothers, and she helped carry water by screwing the buttons.
"Hey, the young master came back suddenly in the middle of the night, and there was no one in the main house, so he wanted water and food."
Mrs. Wang was tired at this time, and as soon as Fenniang came up, she said good things and helped, she inevitably unloaded her heart and told the truth.
Fen Niang's heart suddenly jumped wildly, and she secretly thought, 'Didn't God open his eyes and give me a chance?' ’
She suppressed her excitement and said as calmly as possible: "It's okay for you to boil water, but what about eating?" Now I call Mother Jin up, I'm afraid it's also verbose, so it's better to let me make something simple and send it, our young master is not a nitpicker. ”
Mrs. Wang hesitated slightly, thinking that she was in a hurry, so she said: "Then you should be quicker, don't tell the young master to wait." ”
Fen Niang replied with a smile, and after sending Mrs. Wang away, she trotted to the kitchen, and saw that there were ready-made small dumplings in the cupboard, so she ordered a bowl.
She worked hard to make a bowl of delicious and charming gnocchi, but she was not a good cook, and she put a foot of white sugar and lard, and saw that there were still sugar osmanthus, so she also poured a spoonful.
She went to the main house with the soup balls, and Mrs. Wang was beating her waist and coming out of the house, and when she saw Fen Niang going to the house with her head bored, she quickly pulled her sleeve and said: "Come out if you send it, we are not people who can enter the house to serve." ”
Fen Niang responded with a smirk and said, "Mom, let's go and rest, I'm also tired." ”
Mrs. Wang thought she knew what she knew, so she rubbed her waist and left.
Fen Niang stayed where she was, until she couldn't see the figure of Mrs. Wang, and then walked lightly to the house.
As soon as she entered the room, her eyes were restless, the door of the inner room was not closed tightly, and Fen Niang saw that Wu Niang was wiping her naked upper body, with broad shoulders and a thin waist, she could see Fen Niang's face red and her heart beating.
