Chapter 161: Separation of powers

"Yong'an's expression is to celebrate the New Year, she has to call it Mu Nian, and she will be disgusting when she chooses a name!"

It was the first time for Zheng Lingyi to see Gao Manyi, who was so excited that he was a little out of shape. The more she talked, the more angry she became, obviously being extremely upset by that Mu Nian.

"What kind of love did you just say about this room and the second brother? Since it's a small love, why not take it early and do it today? Zheng Lingyi didn't understand, and asked very strangely.

Gao Man's eyes turned red for some reason, she blinked and pretended to be fine, turned her head to glance at the door, and saw that the door was closed, so she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said softly: "Grandma told me that this Tongfang was no longer a virgin when she came, and she thought that she was with Yong'an when she was young, and she was sent out to look better when she married me." ”

Zheng Lingyi knew that Gao Man was also an infatuated person, and he showed a sincere heart to treat Wu Yongjun, and his heart must have been as uncomfortable as fried in oil these days.

"Second sister-in-law." Zheng Lingyi didn't know what to say to comfort him, so he had to hold Gao Manyi's hand.

Gao Man also smiled reluctantly, frowned again, and said: "It's not that I can't tolerate people, just looking at her bewitching appearance makes me uncomfortable, even if I am a concubine and a room, I have never done this in Qinlou Chuguan." ”

"Does my mother-in-law have any concubines to give to the eldest brother's courtyard?" Zheng Lingyi said.

"The eldest brother still needs to be sent by his mother-in-law, but the maids in the courtyard who are a little flatter and have a better face have almost been harmed by him, and it is also a sin to say, I heard that there is a maid in his yard who was promised to others, and he was forced to let him be abused."

Whether life is good or bad can probably be compared.

After Gao Man also told Wu Yongjun about his bad things, he felt that he was not too miserable, and his mood improved a little.

"Sister-in-law's courtyard is naturally the sister-in-law in charge, if there is a misconduct in front of you, just deal with it justifiably, don't wronged yourself."

Although Zheng Lingyi was born to a concubine and has endured all the hardships of his mother-in-law all his life, he also knows that this Mu Nian is not a good person, so he naturally will not favor her to speak.

Gao Man also looked at Zheng Lingyi with some emotion, and said, "Brother and sister, you can say this, I know it's not easy." ”

Zheng Lingyi smiled helplessly, shook his head, and said: "There are thousands of people in this world, there are evil deeds of mothers, and naturally there are also improper bodies of concubines, how can it be generalized?" ”

Gao Man also nodded in agreement, and the two gossiped for a while, and seeing that Wu Zhi came back from outside, Gao Man also left.

Hearing that he was going to have dinner with the Wu family tomorrow, Wu Zhu didn't have much reaction, but Zheng Lingyi had already cultivated a pair of fiery eyes, and he could find the slightest hint of unhappiness on his seemingly expressionless face.

If you are not happy, you are not happy, since General Wu is in charge, Zheng Lingyi and Wu Punishment should also go.

Wu Zhi has been closed for many years, and he has already cultivated a cold face, only when Zheng Lingyi signaled him, he followed the glass and drank, and the rest of the time he only cared about eating with vegetables, and he didn't bother to say half a word.

Zheng Lingyi is wearing a white satin and red plum embroidered jacket today, with a circle of snow-white rabbit down, although it looks plain from a distance, it is also a little joyful up close.

Qiao Shi glanced at her several times, probably trying to use this to count down Zheng Lingyi, but he couldn't find a complete excuse. Even during the New Year's Festival, not everyone may wear red.

Wu Yongan was dressed in turquoise, green as if he had just been fished out of a pile full of greasy moss, although his lips were red and his teeth were white, but in Zheng Lingyi's eyes, he was not as handsome as Wu Xuanyi's black clothes.

The dishes on the table were rich and elegant, which made Zheng Lingyi feel a little strange.

It is naturally not difficult for Qiao's to make the silver put the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table, but this plum blossom-flavored soup bait and kumquat lantern fruit are really not like things that Qiao's can come up with.

Zheng Lingyi was thinking like this, and saw that General Wu looked at Gao Man and praised: "Sure enough, it is a good blue heart, and even the dishes are so elegant, pleasing to the eye, and have a unique taste." ”

Gao Man also got up elegantly and said with a light smile: "Thank you father-in-law for complimenting, you entrusted me with this banquet, I don't dare not be unsatisfied, but my daughter-in-law is doing it for the first time, and I always feel that I am inexperienced, and I am afraid that I will make a mistake. ”

"You don't have to be modest, everything is delicious." Old General Wu waved his hand and said.

His old man said so, and everyone hurriedly agreed, this dish is indeed a good taste, and everyone is not against their will.

Zheng Lingyi secretly glanced at Gao Manyi, and the two looked at each other, and then moved away to raise their glasses.

"Although it looks good, it's too formal, and it's all like a stuff that can't be eaten."

Listening to General Wu's praise and praise, Qiao's family was very displeased, and after brewing for a long time, he couldn't help but stab his mouth.

Gao Man also blushed, and hurriedly got up and said: "Mother-in-law atoned for her sins, and there is soup and rice porridge at the back, I thought that everyone always needs to eat some wine, so I let them serve more accompaniment first......

"It's fine." Qiao Shi pretended to smile lovingly, and said: "I didn't say anything about you, after all, you are young and inexperienced, so you know the cumbersomeness of all the things in charge of the family, although we want to serve wine and dishes, but we are not good at drinking, and if we don't have some food to cushion our stomachs, won't we hurt our stomachs?" ”

Zheng Lingyi glanced at the bowl of plum blossom fragrant soup bait, listening to Qiao's nonsense, who didn't know that she wanted to call Gao Man in person.

Old General Wu's face remained unchanged, as if he had expected that Qiao's would toss this experience.

He calmly put down his wine glass and said, "Since everything in charge of the family is complicated, then you will hand over the power of dispatching the Zhonggong in a few small courtyards to the second daughter-in-law, and let her have more experience." ”

Qiao's 'horn' shook off the spoon, Cuilong hurriedly bent down to pick it up, she secretly said bad in her heart, and hurriedly said: "This, this is not necessary." I am still in the prime of life, and I have a capable manager by my side, so why do I have to work for Manyi. ”

Since General Wu handed over the matter of presiding over the middle feed to Qiao's family, he only occasionally turned over the account book at the end of the year, and never checked it carefully.

Zheng Lingyi had been to Lingge a lot of times before, and when he returned, he could see Qiao's extravagance and waste on the table.

Although General Wu never went to Lingge, he knew a thing or two.

I used to think that she also had two sons of her own, so she would not lose her family business.

But since the last time he learned that Qiao's helped Wu Rouxiang take power in the Guogong Mansion, General Wu suddenly felt that Qiao's leniency was really ridiculous, and he thought about why he couldn't draw a gourd the same?

"How can this be considered labor? You just said that Man is also inexperienced, if you refuse to let go of power, where does she have experience? ”

Old General Wu said, looking at Gao Manyi, and Qiao Shi also stared at her with wide eyes.

Wu Yongan pretended to raise his hand to scratch his head, covered his face and whispered to her: "You are pampered at home, where can you take care of tedious family affairs, and don't make your mother unhappy, or ......

"What my father-in-law said is that, as my mother-in-law said, my daughter-in-law lacks experience, and now that I have this opportunity, I should do my best."

Gao Man also didn't seem to hear what Wu Yongan said, so he blessed General Wu and Qiao's family with a blessing and took over the errand.

Wu Yongan was very caught off guard, he looked at Gao Manyi suspiciously, and then he didn't know what he had figured out, showing a look of anger and deplication, but he quickly reined in.

"Even so, this round circle hasn't taken over yet, so it can't be the turn of the little one." Qiao Shi said, glancing sideways.

Wan Yuanyuan is a character who can only bully the soft and fear the hard, where can he dare to be presumptuous in front of General Wu, he was forced to come out and express his position by Qiao's family, stumbling nervously, and didn't say a whole sentence for a long time, how can he be in power with such a character?

Old General Wu looked at her pitiful, and gave up a little face to let her cover up a thing or two, "Yuanyuan, you have always been biased, take it with you and teach it, or let the second daughter-in-law experience it." ”

"This, what is this for? Is the general going to take my power as a director in front of the children? ”

Qiao Shi saw that Wan Yuanyuan was so useless, she couldn't help but be anxious, she was not as good as Lu Shi, and she was a little speechless when she was in a hurry.

"Eh, why is that so ugly?" General Wu was in a good mood and ate a piece of braised pork, and said with a smile: "The duchess of the country is so generous to give up the power of the family to Rouxiang, I just let you share some small things for your daughter-in-law to do, and the right is just an experience, how can it come to your mouth, it is actually the intention of seizing power?" ”

Zheng Lingyi never thought that General Wu would have such a narrow side, and he really couldn't get used to this Qiao's style, and was forced out by her.

She couldn't bear to laugh at this time, and she didn't dare to eat now, so she could only pretend to be quails with her head down like everyone else.

Wu Zhi secretly caught Zheng Lingyi's hand under the table, and the two of them hid under the table with their fingers, and the table was noisy and spitting, which were really two completely different scenes.

When Qiao Shi was about to say something more, her arm was pulled by Cuilong, so she endured it, glanced at Gao Manyi, gritted her teeth and said, "Since the general said this, he feels sorry for me." Man, you can take it well, but don't let it down. ”

"The third, fourth, and fifth, in the future, your second sister-in-law will take care of the scheduling of the middle father, if there is any shortage, just ask her."

When Zheng Lingyi heard this, he hurriedly agreed in unison.

General Wu easily put the yards of several concubines under Gao Manyi's hands, obviously very sure of her character.

Before Qiao Shi could say a word, General Wu said again: "You also take care of your own Lingxi Courtyard, you have always taken Mei Yatou with you, and you have heard about these things in charge of the account, and you will have to know it in the future." ”

Gao Man also hurriedly responded, and Zheng Lingyi saw that she seemed to have red eyes again.

If he had pinched the Lingxi Courtyard in his hands early, the Qiao clan would not have been so arrogant when he used the power of Zhonggong's dispatch to come over.

But everything has a cause and an effect, if Qiao's didn't stop people, Gao Man might not have the courage to go against her like this today.

Although this banquet is a sideways branch and there are constant turmoil, Zheng Lingyi eats very happily.
