Chapter 22 Lu Congxin
"It's been a long time since you've caught up today, haven't you seen your sisters? Let's see now, if you meet at the table in the future, you can open your mouth and call. ”
Lu smiled kindly and kindly, her face was the posture of an elder in terms of Lu Congxin, but it was a real picture of a painting skin for these concubines.
She didn't want Lu Congxin to be too close to these concubines, but Lu Congxin said that she had prepared a gift for them, so it was not good not to give it away.
If it is blocked again, I am afraid that Lu Congxin will be suspicious, and Lu has no choice but to agree.
This boy is really good and good-natured. ’
Lu looked at Lu Congxin with a smile, not only to see his nephew, but also to see his future son-in-law, how to look at it, how pleasing to the eye.
Lu Congxin noticed Lu's gaze and smiled at it, his big eyes were like Lu's, but they were different from Lu's dirty and complex.
His eyes were bright and pure, as if he had never been contaminated with the ugliness of this world, and he treated all beings equally, and he smiled gently.
"I arrived yesterday, and I only saw my six sisters, and I made up for them one by one today. By the way, what about the third sister? ”
"I'm coming." As soon as Lu Congxin's words fell, he saw Zheng Yanru stepping in from outside the door.
She was followed by Zhixia and Zhiqiu, and at first glance she was a concubine, not like a few concubines, and there was no one behind her.
Zheng Lingyi looked at Zheng Yanru with some concern, only to see that her expression was bleak, not sad or happy, and she had an indescribable taste in her heart.
Lu Congxin's gaze swept quickly over Zhiyue and Zhizhu behind Zheng Yanxian, and it happened that Lu Shi found out, her smile was slightly condensed, and she was soon at ease again.
"Third sister, I thought you weren't happy to see me." Lu Congxin smiled and gave the first gift to the third sister.
The third sister thanked her and sat down in her place, without looking at Lu.
Lu Shi was naturally displeased, but he still pretended not to care.
The third sister's gift is packed in a red brocade box, and the maids' gifts are all packed in a pink brocade box, Lu Shi nodded secretly with satisfaction, and said in his heart, "Although this child is kind-hearted, he still has rules." ’
Lu Congxin then gave the gift to Zheng Yingying and Zheng Qiuqiu, and when he held up the next gift, he felt a small bump at the bottom of the brocade box.
He was overjoyed, but quietly walked up to Zheng Lingyi with the gift, and said with a smile: "Fifteenth sister, this is for you." ”
I haven't seen this little sister for a long time, Lu Congxin still remembers that when I saw her by the pool last year, her little face seemed to be round, why did she lose a lot after a year?
Now the jaw is pointy, like a lotus flower waiting to bloom in the pool.
Zheng Lingyi was decently blessed, took it, and said lightly: "Thank you, second cousin." ”
I don't know if it's Zheng Lingyi's illusion, Lu Congxin seems to be more happy with his smile.
Zheng Changchang and Zheng Mianmian also took the gift, Lu Congxin saw that everyone had a copy, and thought it was finished, but turned around to see that his maid Huang Que was still holding two copies in her hand.
"Huh? Which two sisters didn't come? Lu Congxin asked a little puzzled.
Lu Shi was suddenly embarrassed, Lu Cong's heart came suddenly, and he didn't have time to explain it to him.
Danzhu showed regret on his face, walked quickly to Lu Congxin and whispered a few words in his ear.
Only then did Lu Congxin know that Banniang had gone, and Jiuniang was unwell.
"How so?" Lu Congxin sat down, looking stunned and sad.
Zheng Lingyi could see that the sadness on his face was not fake, but sincere, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "This Lu family can produce a vicious woman like the Lu family, but it can also produce a good-hearted person like Lu Congxin." ’
"Then please give this gift to the ninth sister for me, and as for the eighth sister, burn it for me." Lu Cong pondered for a moment and said to Lu Shi.
Lu Shi also had a sad look on his face, and nodded slowly.
When Lu Congxin withdrew his gaze, he saw Zheng Yanxian pouting, his eyes were extremely disdainful, and he felt a little displeased in his heart.
Lu Weiyin once vaguely mentioned the idea that the Lu family wanted to kiss, and Lu Congxin did not refuse at the moment, but he didn't have any thoughts about Zheng Yanxian's sister.
When I was a child, I had a good impression because of her beautiful appearance, but in recent years, I really don't like it, not to mention arrogant and willful, and from childhood to adulthood, she has a dust-free appearance, if she becomes a husband and wife in the future, she must often have quarrels when getting along.
'It would be nice if the fifteenth sister was a concubine. Lu Congxin quietly glanced at the little girl sitting opposite him.
She always hangs her head, obedient and quiet, like a magnolia leaning against a tree, and needs to be carefully cared for.
When she turned her head to say something to Zheng Changchang, a small pearl jumped out and dangled in her ear.
Such simple jewelry, but people can't take their eyes off, Lu Cong couldn't help but think of some things with her in the past, and sighed: "I also hugged her when I was young, and I don't know if she still remembers." ’
Zheng Lingyi noticed that Lu Congxin's eyes fell on him from time to time, and his heart was a little strange, but more uneasy and annoyed.
She calculated in her heart that the hour was almost gone, so she stood up cautiously, standing on tiptoe against tiptoe, and blessed the Lu family, and said, "Big lady, fifteen is a little uncomfortable, I want to go back and lie down for a while." ”
Everyone looked at her, and Lu Congxin's gaze was not so abrupt.
"Oh?" Lu Shi was worried that he didn't know how to send this group of concubines, and when he heard Zheng Lingyi say this, he hurriedly made a caring look and said, "When did it freeze?" ”
Zheng Lingyi blinked and hesitated: "Xu was hot and cold last day, and I wore too few clothes." ”
"What a kid." Lu Shi smiled kindly and said, "Danzhu, send fifteen out." ”
Zheng Changchang and Zheng Mianmian also quickly stood up, hurriedly grabbed Zheng Lingyi's clothes, and whispered, "Madam......
"Okay, okay, I know that the three of you have always been anxious about Meng, so let's go back together." Lu Shi waved his handkerchief, revealing a doting and helpless smile.
When Zheng Lingyi walked out of the door with his two younger sisters, he heard that Zheng Yingying had also found an excuse and was about to go back, only Zheng Qiuqiu, who had little eyesight, was still sitting with a dead face.
Zheng Lingyi didn't bother to care about her, and saw Qiao Luo waiting for a few of them at the gate of the courtyard, if it weren't for Danzhu being by her side, she really wanted to rush over.
"Sisters, go back by yourself." When he arrived at the door, Danzhu was crooked, which was considered a salute.
Qiao Luo saw the gift box in the hands of the three of them, and was about to reach out to help them get it, so he heard Zheng Lingyi say, "Sister Qiao Luo, take it for the two younger sisters." It's not very heavy. ”
Qiao Luo smiled and nodded, and returned to Xiyuan with the three children.
Today is Aunt Wan's birthday, and she is full of longing for her relatives at this time, and she is uncomfortable. didn't come to Aunt Jiang to sit here, so Qiaoxiu took Zheng Mianmian and went back.
"I don't know what kind of gift the eldest brother of the Lu family prepared for the sisters." Qiao Luo was a little curious and put the gift box on the table.
Aunt Jiang stretched out her hand and opened it, looked at a box of white, white, yellow, yellow, red and red snacks, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a pastry from Tangerine Xiangzhai outside." ”
Zheng Lingyi was looking at the new book that Qiao Luo smuggled back, but he just glanced at it, and looked at Zheng Changchang's happy appearance and slightly hooked his lower lip.
"Are both sisters the same?" Qiao Luo also opened Zheng Lingyi's ceremony, but she was a little stunned when she saw it, and glanced at Aunt Jiang in a panic.
Aunt Jiang also looked at the gift box, and said a little overwhelmed: "This, what's the matter?" ”
This gift box was obviously rearranged later, and the pastries of Tangerine Xiangzhai were densely arranged on the left side, a lot, but there was a set of delicate and elegant pink jade jewelry on the right side.
Pink jade hairpins, pink jade ear pendants, pink jade bracelets, and a pink jade rabbit pendant tied to the red rope, Zheng Lingyi belongs to rabbits.
"Fifteen, did you take it by mistake?" Aunt Jiang asked.
Zheng Lingyi also got up and took a look, frowned and said, "I don't know what to say." ”
Zheng Changchang was excited to play with the jewelry, but seeing that her aunt and sister were not very happy, she put it back in the gift box at a loss.
"Look, the eldest brother of the Lu family seems to be interested in our sister." Qiao Luo looked at the jewelry, and then at the mother and daughter, not knowing whether this was a blessing or a curse.
"Madame didn't notice anything, did she?"
Aunt Jiang is most concerned about this, her pregnancy is already very unhappy, if Zheng Lingyi has something to do with the Lu family's brother, their mother and daughter are afraid that they will die today.
"Probably not."
With a click, Zheng Lingyi reached out and closed the box, with a faint look of disgust on his eyebrows.
"Sister, don't you like Brother Lu so much?" Qiao Luo looked at her and asked thoughtfully.
"What do you like or dislike, Sister Qiaoluo, let's stay alive first." In Zheng Lingyi's tone, I couldn't hear the slightest nostalgia.
It is clearly the warm spring season, but this girl is like a handful of snow, which looks fluffy and soft, but in fact it is composed of countless ice beads.
"Let's sell it." Zheng Ling thought for a while, and then said, "It's not appropriate to put it here after all." ”
"Fifteen......
Aunt Jiang called, not knowing what to say.
"Auntie, it's not too hard to be pregnant, this jewelry can be exchanged for a few silver, so you don't have to work so hard."
Zheng Lingyi smiled lightly, and said to Qiao Luo: "Please Sister Qiao Luo be careful." ”
After saying that, she went back to the house to practice calligraphy.
The two adults looked at each other and were speechless for a while.
In the middle of the night, Qiao Luo opened the gift box, packed all the jewelry with a small cloth bag of plain noodles, and prepared to use it when he went out to buy.
"Wait." Aunt Jiang stretched out her hand and picked up the pink jade rabbit pendant, held it in her palm and said to Qiao Luo as if she had made up her mind: "This, just keep it for Fifteen." Say it's my old thing. ”
Qiao Luo nodded, as if he was a little worried, and said, "Sister is not reluctant at all. ”
Although Aunt Jiang didn't speak, she understood Zheng Lingyi's thoughts very well in her heart, if Lu Congxin's thoughts were discovered, it would be a catastrophe.
