"Have you asked Madame about this snack? Have you asked Madame about the dress I am wearing today? Have you asked Madame about the incense I lit before going to bed last night? ”

She was louder than the other, but the two maids were very calm, and Zheng Lingyi felt that they didn't even care about Wen Xiangzhi making such a fuss.

Lu Zhu startled Wen Xiangzhi's anger, but when she saw that Zheng Lingyi was still walking forward at this moment, slowly approaching her, Lu Zhu had no choice but to follow to protect Zheng Lingyi.

"Xiangzhi." Zheng Lingyi called softly.

Wen Xiangzhi turned to look at her, a line of tears flowed from her eyes, and mocked: "Lingyi, do you know, if it weren't for your Lang Junyi's passing in the exam, my mother wouldn't even let me see you at home, although she disdains me to associate with you, but she wants to control me everywhere!" ”

"Xiangzhi." Zheng Lingyi didn't know what to say, and just wanted to get closer to her, but was stopped by another tall servant.

"Mrs. Wu, please come with me, my wife wants to see you." The maid said, her appearance is serious and old-fashioned, that is, she does not frown, and there is a longitudinal line in the center of her eyebrows.

Zheng Lingyi reprimanded: "Nonsense, you just stood here, Wen. When did Madame say she wanted to see me? ”

Wen Xiangzhi sneered coldly, and her laughter was full of absurdity and sadness.

Zheng Lingyi glanced at her worriedly, and saw that the maid was about to reach out and grab her wrist, so she quickly took a step back, and Lu Zhu slapped the other party's hand away, and said, "Take your claws away for me, my wife is here as a guest!" ”

Zheng Lingyi is also an official lady now, although the official of Wu Punishment is not high, but the truth of the sentence Don't bully the young man is poor, I still understand it, so the maid retracted her hand and said: "Madam does have something to say to you, if you don't go this time, you don't have to come to see your sister in the future." ”

Zheng Lingyi looked at the maid who was giving orders in amazement, and then looked at Wen Xiangzhi, who was emotionally broken, and insisted: "I will go to see Madame, but I will accompany Xiangzhi at this time." ”

"Sister has us with you, Mrs. Wu doesn't have to worry about it." The maid's expression did not change at all, and she thought that she was the most old and spicy person in this house.

Zheng Lingyi only felt very embarrassed, and said in his heart, "I really don't know what Xiangzhi has done, called Wen. Madame sent two such men to keep an eye on her. Isn't it over the thunder pool? ’

"Lingyi, you go." Wen Xiangzhi said weakly, as if she was deflated, and she was disappointed in everything.

Zheng Lingyi also wanted to say again, but the two servants were in front of her like King Kong, and there was no other way to go except to push the door out.

"Xiangzhi, I'll come to see you again." After Zheng Lingyi went out, he still said in a loud voice.

The maid in the house closed the door neatly, almost smashing it on Zheng Ling's pasta.

"You!" Lu Zhu was naturally angry, but now that he was in the Wen family, even if it was for Zheng Lingyi's sake, he should endure it.

"Mrs. Wu, come with the old slave." The maid with longitudinal lines between her eyebrows said and walked forward.

Zheng Lingyi glanced at the closed door, and had no choice but to follow.

She only saw Cheng's side when she was young, and at that time she thought she was a gentle and amiable character, but there were more people with two faces in front of her and behind, and she thought the same would be true of this Cheng family.

Zheng Lingyi waited at the door for a while, and only after the maid passed on what had just happened, was he passed in.

When Cheng saw her, he smiled, seeing that Zheng Lingyi was only blessed, and he was not angry, and still said in a harmonious voice: "I haven't congratulated Wu Jia Saburo High School yet." ”

"The Wen family's gift has already been given." Zheng Lingyi said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Cheng Shi saw her displeasure, and said with a very good-tempered smile: "Fang Cai is the two servants behaved rudely and rudely, I also saw you when you were young, and there are in-laws between you and me, how can you say that they are also your elders, so don't take it to heart, okay?" ”

Her words were so decent and beautiful, Zheng Lingyi looked at her in confusion, just looked at her quietly for a while, and saw that Cheng Shi was a little uneasy, and said with a smile: "What are you doing to look at me like this?" ”

Zheng Lingyi thought in his heart, "It is said that this has its master and must have its servant, although the Cheng family is kind on the face, in fact, he looks down on me." ’

Thinking so, she just shook her head and said, "I won't say a word about this today." ”

Cheng was a little surprised by Zheng Lingyi's transparency, thinking that she knew the inside story completely, so he nodded.

"But not for the sake of warmth. Madame you. Zheng Lingyi took a step back and waved his hand, as if he didn't want to be contaminated with the breath on Cheng's body.

Cheng's smile was slightly retracted, and Zheng Lingyi continued: "It's for Xiangzhi." I have known her since childhood, she has a pure temperament, she has always treated me as an equal, not like Mrs. you, not like most people, saying one thing on her lips and thinking another thing in her heart. ”

The smile had disappeared from Cheng's face, and she said coldly: "Pure nature? You clinging to her naturally say this, but it seems to me that it is nothing but stupidity! ”

"Climbing? Then may I ask Madame, have I gained any benefits from Xiangzhi? Zheng Lingyi didn't get the slightest benefit, so he dared to ask like this.

Cheng looked away weakly, quickly looked at Zheng Lingyi, and said, "You have not, otherwise you would not have been in contact for many years." But just because you don't have it doesn't mean others won't do it! ”

"Madame!" Zheng Lingyi said earnestly: "The love of parents is as soft as spring rain, and some pain is like whipping, but you can't always take care of Xiangzhi as a prisoner!" ”

"Or else? Did you know that she was going to kill herself? I don't know what kind of psychic medicine that that gave her, and let her seek death and life! ”

Cheng got up excitedly, but after speaking, he fell down on the soft collapse.

"What Madame means by Lan Gongzi?" Zheng Ling was so sad that Cheng felt a little hostile in his heart.

Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at Zheng Lingyi, Zheng Lingyi knew what she meant, and said, "I won't talk nonsense." In fact, Xiang Zhi didn't talk much to me about this matter, I don't know what the background of this Lan Gongzi is? Madam, tell me the reason, I can persuade Xiangzhi? ”

The needle drop in the room could be heard, and Cheng was silent for a long time before he spoke: "What kind of Lan Gongzi, it's just a sour Confucian who has been reading for a few years, and he is a little whiter when he is born, so he actually makes the heartless girl fall in love with it." ”

"If so, if it's somehow to learn......

Before Zheng Lingyi could say a few words, Cheng interrupted, "Grandpa Guo has a good vision, so your husband won't mention it, even if you pick that Xu Gongzi, it's not bad, and now he has entered Hanlin, right?" ”

Zheng Lingyi was about to nod, but he felt that something was wrong, and explained: "My brother-in-law is the top three in Jinshi, and he needs to take the test again, he has already passed the test, and now he is a Jishi, and he will have to ...... in the future

Cheng waved his hand and said indifferently: "I don't know much about these, I just know that they are all on the list." has an errand that he earns himself, if the person surnamed Lan had such ability, he would not have taken the exam for many years, but he couldn't even get into the lift. ”

Listening to Cheng's words, it is not completely short-sighted.

"Then how did Lan Gongzi be able to meet Xiangzhi in the Wen family many times?"

If this person is so unremarkable, then why is there a connection with the Lan family?

Cheng Shi was silent for a moment, and the corners of her lips drooped when she was silent, making her look ten years older in an instant, "Do you know about Xianglan's remarriage?" ”

"I've heard a little."

Although it is said that it is disgraceful to remarry with Heli, Zheng Lingyi only knows about Wen Xianglan's remarriage, but he doesn't know what the specific situation is.

"It is said that a woman should marry highly, but when she remarries, this is not the case. Piles of dowries are sent to other people's homes, and daughters are still disliked. It was not enough to get one, but now he is greedy for another. ”

Cheng said, his eyes revealing a sad hatred.

"Lan Gongzi is Sister Xianglan's uncle? Sister Xianglan knows this. Zheng Lingyi was shocked, but he also completely figured out some tricks.

"She didn't know, she only knew that my sister had caused trouble and asked me to be detained. Hmph, Lan Jiaerlang said that my brother is good at learning and wants to stay for a while so that he can inquire often, so I agreed, but I didn't expect to attract a scourge. Cheng regretted it.

"Lan family, why haven't you heard of it, what kind of official position is it?" Zheng Lingyi said.

"Little medical officer family, it's not surprising that you don't know. The old father in the family is a sixth-grade medical officer, and now he is nearly old, and Xianglan's husband is a seventh-grade doctor. ”

When Cheng remarried his daughter, he was afraid that his daughter would be wronged, and the dowry was only too much or too little, Zheng Lingyi counted the monthly salary of the medical officer in his heart, which was indeed less.

Moreover, in addition, Lan Erlang does not have a half-official position, how can there be any progress, and it makes sense to seduce Wen Xiangzhi because of his greed for dowry.

"After Sister Xianglan got married, how are you doing?" Zheng Lingyi pondered for a long time and said suddenly.

Cheng seemed to be a little entangled, and he didn't know how to speak, so he said after a long time: "It's okay, the Wen family is an honest man, and Xianglan has the final say in the house." It's not good, it's not good, the friendship in the past is all faded, there is a banquet or something to invite her to a banquet, others always look like they look at jokes, or they don't take her in their eyes at all, how can there be the scenery of the Wen family's sister in the past. ”

Although Wu Punishment is only a small official at the moment, and General Wu is only a false name in the court, he still has some connections, and he was also a general who worshiped the official back then, so he was naturally much better than a mere medical official family.

Even so, Zheng Lingyi has been ridiculed a lot of times, just look at the faces of those old slaves today, you can imagine Wen Xianglan's situation.

"These, Xiang Zhi can see in his eyes?" Zheng Lingyi said.

Cheng looked at the slender woman standing in the hall, frowned, and said, "I didn't let Xiangzhi know that my sister was difficult, and she didn't want to. ”

"Maybe you should do that?" Zheng Lingyi said.

"Expose Xianglan's scar to alert Xiangzhi?" Cheng said in a trembling voice.

Zheng Lingyi was silent, and it was difficult to speak.

After a long time, Zheng Lingyi said: "In a few days, if I come up with a way to make Xiangzhi change her mind, is my wife willing to let me take Xiangzhi out?" ”

Cheng Shi looked up at her, did not immediately agree, only said, "Will you take her to see Lan Erlang?" ”

Zheng Ling thought for a moment and said, "Maybe." ”

Cheng Shi had a little anger on his face and said, "Are you making a joke about me?!" ”

"Madam, if you block it like this, it will only make Xiang Zhi feel that her feelings are more difficult and difficult, as graceful and beautiful as in that script, it is better to let her see her true face and break her illusions, and it will be good." Zheng Lingyi said calmly.

Cheng Shi couldn't turn around a little at the beginning, but after thinking about it, he understood what Zheng Lingyi meant, but he was puzzled: "You and Xiangzhi are close in age, why are you thinking completely different?" ”

Zheng Lingyi remembered Zheng Guogong's style of being a husband, and only smiled and said, "Lord Wen should treat you very well." ”

This question made Cheng a little at a loss, but he still nodded.

"Seeing that your husband and wife are harmonious, how can Xiang Zhi know that most men in this world have iron-like hearts?"

Zheng Lingyi said calmly, and there was a sourness flowing from the bottom of her heart, only she knew.
