Chapter 90: Little Sister
The pepper garden in summer is a little more emerald, although there is no beautiful scenery of the warbler song and swallow dance, but occasionally you can see colorful butterflies.
The master and servant were not welcome in Dongyuan, so they naturally left early.
After leaving Dongyuan, Lu Nong's heart was still panicked, and the colorful butterfly flew in front of her eyes, but she didn't move at all, but reached out to drive away the butterfly, which showed that she was still upset.
Zheng Lingyi saw it, and then persuaded: "The pain of losing a daughter is like a knife stirring like cutting meat, and it will naturally be much better to pass on the mistake to others." ”
Just across the door of the inner room, Lu Nong also faintly heard Aunt Ai's cry, and felt that she was very pitiful, and said, "I just feel wronged for my sister and aunt." Besides, when I look at the appearance of the twelfth sister, it doesn't look like she is a sister, but she is just worried about her marriage. ”
During the state funeral period, where there is a lord's house, stop music and worship for 100 days, stop marrying officials for 100 days, do not have sexual affairs, do not hang door charms, do not put up lights, do not have fun, and do not feast.
All of the above are subject to a one-month ban for military and civilian personnel.
The Guogong Mansion is naturally a family of lords, although the law is to stop marrying for 100 days, but in order to be safe, so as not to settle the truth, Zheng Yingying's marriage has to be delayed for a year, to say the least.
Zheng Lingyi brushed away a grass seed stained on the back of his hand and said, "Don't tell your aunt." ”
"I know." Lu Nong looked around and said, "Sister, let's go back." Now is the national mourning, so it's better not to let people grab the handle. ”
Although he was just strolling in his backyard, he had a soft tongue and a sharp knife, and Lu Nong heard that An Heju didn't dare to ask for meat dishes for lunch today, and he didn't even dare to use meat oil, for fear that people would pull his pigtails.
"Okay." Zheng Lingyi was originally very indifferent, so he agreed obediently.
But after thinking about it again, she really wanted to meet her little sister.
Zheng Yingying's little sister died, and Zheng Lingyi's little sister was raised elsewhere, and she didn't even look at her little sister.
I don't know if my little sister looks like herself? Like Chang Chang? Like an aunt?
"Madame is not in Anhe Curie, and I don't know if I can see both." Zheng Lingyi said with a gloomy expression.
How could Lu Nong not know Zheng Lingyi's intentions, and said: "Although Mrs. is not there, her eyeliner is all over the courtyard, and the maid is only afraid that Mrs. will settle accounts after the autumn." ”
Lu Nong's worries were also very reasonable, Zheng Lingyi couldn't think of a way for a while, and he knew that he would go back to Xiyuan first.
Qiao Luo saw that these two people were depressed, thinking that they had asked Zheng Yingying to give a beating, although there was also this reason, but in order not to make Qiao Luo worry, Zheng Lingyi said that he wanted to see Zheng Shuangshuang and was unlawful, so he thought about it.
Qiao Luo was a little dissatisfied and said: "It would be good if the third sister was willing to help us, the maid listened to Luo He, and the third sister has more and more business in her hands." Speaking of which, it's because of your original order, sister. ”
Zheng Lingyi disagreed with her words, and said: "Even so, the third sister sold Luo He's favor to us, and it would have been clean long ago." We still owe a debt to others. ”
Hearing Zheng Lingyi say this, Qiao Luo thought of his injury, and he still relied on being able to go out to see Gansong from time to time, so he was so fast, so he was embarrassed to say: "It's still a sister's atmosphere, and talking can always wake up the maid." ”
Qiao Luo saw that Zheng Lingyi was still worried about taking a look at Zheng Shuangshuang's affairs, so he said: "Although the third sister doesn't care about idle things, if we come to the door to see it generously, she may not allow it." Today, there are many things in the house, as long as we pass the gate, no one may notice us. ”
Zheng Ling thought about it for a while, and said, "Then clean up the clothes, shoes and socks we made for my sister, and go later!" ”
The maidservants I met on the road were all silent, bowing their heads when they walked, for fear of making any noise.
The journey was quite smooth, but as soon as I came to the door of Anheju, I hit a nail.
Yuegui happened to come out, and when she saw Zheng Lingyi and a few people coming, she said angrily: "I didn't call you here today, but my sister came, what are you doing?" ”
Zheng Lingyi bit his lower lip lightly and said softly: "Sister Yuegui, I took some clothes, shoes and socks that I prepared earlier, and I want to give them to my sisters." ”
Yuegui smiled disdainfully and said, "Sister, your life is not as good as your own sister-in-law, the two sisters are now raised in the lady's courtyard, what do you want?" Where do you still need these shabby clothes? ”
Her speech was really ugly, but she was the servant of the Lu family, and if she offended her words, she had to give Zheng Lingyi eye medicine openly and secretly, so she had to endure it.
"That's not what I said." Someone Shi Shiran said.
Zheng Lingyi glanced at it, but it was Wu Rouxiang who came, she didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing, so she had to be blessed, and said, "Sister-in-law is here." ”
"I remember the fifteenth sister's craftsmanship, but the eldest sister and the lady have praised it, could it be that Yuezhi thinks that his eyesight is better than that of his master?" Wu Rouxiang walked up the steps step by step, forcing Yuegui to retreat to the side.
"That's not what the slave meant." Today, the Lu family is not here, Yuegui is somewhat unconfident, and she can't be angry with Wu Rouxiang, "Why is the little lady here?" ”
"Oh." Wu Rouxiang seemed to suddenly come back to her senses and said, "I heard that there is an extra little sister, so I came to take a look." ”
The eldest sister-in-law looks at her sister, isn't it possible?
Wu Rouxiang is not as supportive as Zheng Lingyi, after all, she is Zheng Rongan's leading lady. Yuegui can't stop it anymore, and if it spreads, it's really not good.
"Whatever clothes, shoes and socks, bring them in." Wu Rouxiang is not stupid, she just made a look of betraying her personal favor by the way.
Although he knew that this love would have to be repaid in the future, Zheng Lingyi was still overjoyed at the moment and hurriedly followed.
Zheng Shuangshuang's house is in Changxiang Pavilion, because she was still young when Zheng Yanhui got married, so she didn't have much chance to come, Changxiang Pavilion is more gorgeous and atmospheric than Yihuan Pavilion, which is more in line with Zheng Yanhui's preferences.
The Lu family was willing to let Zheng Shuangshuang live here, is it really to accumulate virtue?
Before Zheng Lingyi entered the door, he heard Zheng Yanru's laughter, and walked into the house again, and saw Zheng Yanru standing on the edge of the cradle, leaning over to look at Zheng Shuangshuang's little face, with a very gentle and amiable expression.
Wu Rouxiang came, Zheng Yanru was not surprised, but when she saw Zheng Lingyi, she showed a few crampedness, as if she had robbed Zheng Lingyi's treasure.
"Brother and sister, fifteenth sister. You're here, and you're both asleep. Zheng Yanru glanced at Zheng Lingyi hurriedly and laughed with Wu Rouxiang.
Zheng Lingyi stepped forward behind Wu Rouxiang and saw Zheng Shuangshuang sleeping in the cradle.
She is still so small, white and soft, although her facial features are still unclear, but the three of them have the appearance of this small nose and small mouth, Zheng Shuangshuang's appearance will definitely not be ugly.
Zheng Yanru and Wu Rouxiang were talking, and glanced at Zheng Lingyi casually.
Her eyes were full of pity for her young sister, and the concealment was about to overflow, Zheng Yanru suddenly felt that her affection was like a fake.
Zheng Yanru cares about Zheng Shuangshuang, mostly because the baby looks cute, and at the same time, she also feels fresh, so naturally she can't compare to Zheng Lingyi's affection born from the blood.
Lu Nong handed over the small burden of clothes to the nurse who was serving Zheng Shuangshuang, and the nurse was a woman named Liu Ma, about thirty years old, who was picked back from Zhuangzi by the Lu family.
Mother Liu first glanced at Zheng Yanru and saw that she did not object, so she took it.
The few eyes of these two people, either disdainful or arrogant, even Lu Nong, who was a servant, felt very uncomfortable, and said secretly: "Why are you doing this? I don't know whose children the two sisters are, whose sisters are they? ’
She glanced at Zheng Lingyi slightly, and when she saw her lowering her eyes and looking at Zheng Shuangshuang's little face, she seemed to be very satisfied.
Wu Rouxiang and Zheng Yanru went outside to talk, and Liu's mother hugged Zheng Shuangshuang in front of Zheng Lingyi under the pretext of breastfeeding.
"But the two sisters are still asleep." Lu Nong always said very little in front of outsiders, but at this moment just now, he couldn't help it.
Liu's mother glared at Lu Nong, and she didn't know what to do, which made Zheng Shuangshuang wake up, and she cried.
"Aren't the two sisters crying to drink milk?"
Mother Liu saw that the green condensed her neck, and Zheng Lingyi's eyes turned red in an instant, she smiled proudly and disdainfully, and took Zheng Shuangshuang away.
Liu's mother is used to being a master who can watch people put down dishes, although this one in front of her is her own sister, but at a glance, she knows that she is not an important master, and she endures the humiliation to look at her sister, if she just takes a look, but if she wants to take her sister back, won't her errand be gone?
It was not easy for Mother Liu to be promoted from Zhuangzi to the house by taking advantage of this nurse's errand, so she naturally wanted to firmly grasp this errand.
Only Lu Nong and Zheng Lingyi were left in the room, and she called out with some worry, "Sister, don't be sad." She also knew that her comfort was useless.
Zheng Lingyi turned her eyes to look at her, she blinked quickly, and her eyes were not so red.
She was indeed sad, but more angry, and her anger was not restrained, and her eyes turned red.
"Let's get out." When Zheng Lingyi spoke again, his emotions were already well hidden.
When I went out, I heard Wu Rouxiang say: "Now is the national funeral, it's okay for those of us who can endure loneliness, but the sixth sister will be bitter." ”
Seeing that Zheng Yanru seemed to have some scruples, Wu Rouxiang said: "They are all people in their own house, what are you afraid of?" ”
Zheng Yanru said softly: "The sixth sister is really a drama idiot, and the Qiuxi class is about to live in her house." My mother said that she had told her several times, but she always didn't listen to her, but it was better for her to stay at home and watch the drama more, and she would always feel more comfortable, and she didn't always come back to vent her anger at her mother like before. ”
Zheng Lingyi listened silently, Zheng Yanru saw that she had been standing on the side for a long time, and she really couldn't go, so she said, "Fifteen, sit down and talk." ”
Zheng Lingyi shook his head and said, "I've already seen my sister, I'll go back now." ”
Since she said that she was going back, Wu Rouxiang and Zheng Yanru would not open their mouths to keep her.
On the way back, it was quiet as if passing by a cemetery.
Zheng Lingyi didn't speak, Lu Nong wanted to tease her, so he said, "Sister, are you tired?" Do you want me to carry it? ”
Zheng Lingyi is not fat, but he has grown a lot taller, and it is good to say that Lu Nong has a few steps on his back, but if he carries it all the way, he is afraid that he will not be able to bear it.
Zheng Lingyi's eyes were crooked, and he smiled very face-savingly, but he still didn't speak, and he still had a heavy heart in his heart.
