Chapter 165: Spring Shirt
When Gao Man first entered the door, the two got along harmoniously for a while, but unfortunately this disagreement is incompatible, and they can't pretend to be incompatible.
Now, there is only politeness left between the two.
And Gao Man's friendship with Zheng Lingyi was almost a gesture of kindness, but now, the two are equal.
Gao Man also came back to his senses and said busily: "Sister-in-law, we are a coincidence today. β
Zheng Lingyi only moved his body, glanced at Wan Yuanyuan, and casually said 'sister-in-law', and then ate tea by himself.
Gao Man was also a little stunned, but he didn't say anything rashly, but the smile on his face became more and more embarrassing, and he didn't know what to say.
Wan Yuanyuan originally wanted to say a few words to Sister Mei to ease the atmosphere, but Sister Mei was not very enthusiastic, she just blessed her, so she hid behind Zheng Lingyi and played with clay dolls.
Zheng Lingyi knew that Wan Yuanyuan was used to bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, so she couldn't give her a good look, otherwise she would still be flattering her, and she would be rampant again.
Wan Yuanyuan was out of place here, so he had to find an excuse and leave quickly.
The servant beside her was called Feng'er, and when she saw that she had eaten a mouthful of ashes here, she trembled with fright, and was afraid that she would be beaten and scolded.
But Wan Yuanyuan just walked briskly without saying a word.
She paused for a moment, turned her head to Feng'er and said, "How is the matter of the order?" β
It was so vague, but Feng'er immediately knew what she was referring to, and replied: "Those people pay attention, except for the cherry jelly that day, I haven't seen the pastries in the past few days, and I think they have eaten them all." β
"Will it be given to the servant?" Wan Yuanyuan was much more difficult to see, and asked again.
Feng'er said: "If you ask the servant to eat it, Xu also let the servant try to be poisonous or not." Seeing that the maid was safe and sound, she naturally ate it herself. Those pastries are so expensive, who will call them a servant to eat? β
It's not surprising that Feng'er would think like this, Wan Yuanyuan is the most angry master, but whenever there is any pastry, even if he can't eat it, he always deliberately spoils it, and doesn't let the people under him steal it, only when he is in a good mood will he reward it like a gift.
Wan Yuanyuan nodded and said, "Then it's nine out of ten, but I'm afraid that I can't figure out the preferences of the third child, what pastries will I prepare tomorrow?" β
"Steamed bird's nest and crab roe crisp, as well as red bean soup and jade pearl gnocchi." This matter has been planned for a few days, and Feng'er has long been familiar with it.
"The medicine took two days to come out, and there was a full amount of every pastry, and it happened to be in the exam when the attack occurred, and the custody made him suffer a lot, I see if he can still be named on the gold list!"
Wan Yuanyuan hated and hated, wait for this matter to be completed, and see if Gao Man and Zheng Lingyi can still be so friendly when he sees it.
"Yes." Feng'er saw that Wan Yuanyuan didn't throw fire at herself, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past few days, Qiao's heart has been holding her breath, Wan Yuanyuan naturally has to bear it, and when she is angry, she will find it unhappy in Feng'er.
After such a layer of peeling, Wan Yuanyuan's entire courtyard was filled with a suffocating and gloomy atmosphere.
"The second brother and sister are too naΓ―ve, thinking that these courtyards are under her control, so they are really under her control? In the end, it's still in the hands of my mother-in-law. has gained such a little bit of power, and it is not to carry the black pot when it is poured. β
Wan Yuanyuan said disdainfully, with sour pleasure in his heart.
She has returned to the courtyard, Feng'er went out to run errands, and the rest of the maids were guarding outside the door, and she was the only one in the house.
Self-portrait in the mirror, or a plump and charming face, but unfortunately, who will you show your makeup?
Wu Yongan has been staying at his aunt's place for several days, and he originally heard that Qiao's family had stuffed a room for Gao Man, and Wan Yuanyuan was still gloating about something, his own courtyard was burning his eyebrows, but he saw that other people's stoves were choking on smoke, and he still squeezed his head to see the excitement, pitiful, sad and hateful.
Women have no love, and they have to have something else to fill in.
Although Gao Manyi's relationship with Wu Yongan is a little cold, the original heat is still there after all, and the two have Sister Mei, and now she has part of the power of the family, and her life is extremely fulfilling.
Although Wan Yuanyuan is also naΓ―ve and stupid, who doesn't want the power to be in charge?
When General Wu helped Gao Manyi seize power at the table, although it was mainly to punish Qiao's family, he helped Gao Manyi in the end.
Wan Yuanyuan has always been afraid of General Wu, she is terrible, she hopes that General Wu can also protect herself behind her back, but that day, General Wu didn't even look at Wan Yuanyuan.
Gao Manyi and Zheng Lingyi have all been protected by him, but only Wan Yuanyuan has always been disliked by General Wu because he was born in Qiao's mother's family, coupled with his stupid and frivolous temperament.
People's hearts are always biased, and saints can't make a bowl of water even.
Wan Yuanyuan has hatred and jealousy in his heart, he only thinks that other people's disasters are coming, and he doesn't dare to think that he is just a tool that is driven and degraded by others.
The night before marrying into the Wu family, Wan Yuanyuan's mother cried all night, Wan Yuanyuan didn't understand why she was crying so sadly, she was going to marry her eldest son.
Now I understand, it's too late.
Wan Yuanyuan wiped away a tear in the mirror, and covered it up with a puff.
Feng'er pushed the door and walked in quickly, blessed Wan Yuanyuan, and said in a low voice: "Madam, it's okay." β
Wan Yuanyuan didn't speak, just nodded, and the person in the mirror had a pair of big eyes that hooked the soul, but the look in his eyes was boring like bagasse.
Tonight is still a lonely pillow and sleepless, the mattress on his side is empty and cold, the high bed is soft pillows, and the floor is drawn as a prison.
Wan Yuanyuan opened her eyes in the dark, although it was late at night, she was not tired.
Qiao Shi turned over and over with a few humiliating words, and Wan Yuanyuan was now numb to listening.
One is disgusted with Wan Yuanyuan's background, and the other is that she is not pregnant with a child.
Wan Yuanyuan just lowered his head and listened most of the time, but in his heart he also felt that Qiao's was ridiculous.
I don't like my background, why I married myself in the first place, and I don't look at the virtue of my son.
Moreover, Wu Yongan is not by Wan Yuanyuan's side most of the time, so how can she conceive a child by herself?
The hand resting on his lower abdomen was clenched tightly, Wan Yuanyuan closed his eyes, and forced himself to sleep in this lonely silence.
β¦β¦
The sun spread in the yard, drying everything dry, Lu Nong and Lu Zhu were busy moving books out to dry, Zheng Lingyi was a little worried about the weather, but a few books have been flooded with musty smell, and it is really not possible to dry them.
Zhu Yu worked really well, Lu Nong and Lu Zhu only took out the book, let her spread it out and put it on the bamboo mat to dry, and after a while, it was the fragrance of books in the courtyard.
Lu Zhu and Lu Nong are busy inside and outside, and when someone from the outer courtyard delivers pastries today, it is Huan'er who should have taken away the food box.
She glanced at Pei'er, and she slidly went away. Pei'er didn't want to pay attention to her, and stood under the porch without squinting, taking care of her own errand.
"Pe'er, where's Huan'er?" Lu Nong handed over the last few books to Zhu Yu, saw that there was an empty person under the corridor, wiped the sweat from the corner of his forehead, and said.
Since she asked, Pei'er replied: "The pastries were sent from the outer courtyard just now, and Huan'er took them and I don't know where they went, so maybe I went to deal with them." β
Lu Nong nodded, and listened to Zheng Ling's intention to call himself, so he hurriedly walked in with Lu Zhu.
"It's almost time, Luzhu, you stay and watch the yard for me, and Lunong will go with me."
The two servants answered in unison, one stayed, and the other went out with their masters.
Wu Zhi's bookcase had already been prepared, and it was properly placed in the inner room, just to bring it with you.
None of the bookcases were sent in from the outer courtyard, and she didn't dare to ask Wu to touch the food sent from the outer courtyard, and even the objects next to her were extra careful.
This is not that Zheng Lingyi is suspicious, a few days ago, Gao Man still felt that it was inappropriate not to prepare spring clothes for Jingju, so he asked the embroidery girl in the house to put aside the work of Lingxi Courtyard, and made two thin cotton spring shirts for Wu Xuan, one Xuan and one blue, there was nothing wrong with it, and it seemed to be from Zheng Changchang's hands, the workmanship was exquisite, and he couldn't find out the slightest mistake, and even the satin used good satin.
Zheng Lingyi had a little more precaution in his heart, so he touched it inch by inch with his fingers, and actually felt a hard poke at the seam inside the clothes, and when he opened it, it was actually an article made with a fly's head, tightly rolled into a thin stick.
The cold sweat on her body came down immediately, and Wu Zhi said that this article was done in general, but the spring test was much stricter than that of the autumn one, but if any entrained objects were found on the body, especially those with words, they would be counted as cheating, and they would be beaten with a cane on the spot, and they would not be allowed to take the test again for ten years.
Zheng Lingyi didn't suspect Gao Manyi, but just spied a few words vaguely.
Gao Man also told her with a smile that this was specially ordered by General Wu to do it, and he also sent these two satin horses to the temple to worship, and there would be the power of the gods to bless her, and told Zheng Lingyi to let Wu Zhi wear them to the exam.
General Wu will naturally not cut off Wu's scientific expedition, it may only be that this embroidery girl made a mistake when she was doing it.
Zheng Lingyi first thought of Qiao's body, but this matter involved Gao Manyi and General Wu, and it hurt his muscles and bones to find out, and he ruined the situation, so Zheng Lingyi wanted to put it aside first, and Wu Zhi also agreed.
She stayed up with Lu Nong for two all-nighters, dismantled all the two clothes, and after repeated inspections that there was no problem, she sewed them up again, and today Wu Punishment is wearing the blue shirt.
The couple walked to the outer courtyard together, and the green fell behind them, and suddenly they heard a slight movement behind them.
She subconsciously opened her lips and wanted to say something to Zheng Lingyi, but remembering Zheng Lingyi's instructions yesterday, she closed her mouth and didn't even glance back.
After a few people left, the shrubs and grass on the edge of the quiet house trembled, and then gradually returned to calm.
As soon as the masters left, the door was closed, and the servants and mothers-in-law were more relaxed.
What is left today is the green beads, sitting on the stone pier and talking and laughing with the mothers-in-law, and the sunshine is full of joy.
"Our young master has so many books, the words are the same as ants, can you understand them?"
Mrs. Wang squatted on the edge of the pile of books, squinting her eyes and looking at the old man for a long time, but only saw a complex cloud of ink spots.
"The book you read is only a lady's, and the book that the young master reads is even more difficult and obscure." Luzhu smiled.
Mrs. Yin quipped: "You still want to read and write?" I'm afraid that my old eyes will be dizzy, and I can't tell the difference between cow dung and horse dung. β
Mrs. Wang scolded back with a smile, waved her hand to describe, and said: "What do you say, how can you tell the difference, cow dung is a stall, and horse dung is a grain!" I'm afraid you can't tell the difference, treat cow dung as a bean flour cake, and horse dung as a frying hammer! β
Everyone laughed, and Pell stood under the porch, smiling secretly.
