Chapter 284: Purple Jasmine
Lu Xiang didn't know what his brother and mother were talking about with his cousin and sister-in-law in the room, but when they came out again, the mood of the adults seemed to be better.
Zheng Lingyi asked Lu Nong to divide half of the fragrant pears for Su Shi to take back, Lu Xiang touched those fragrant pears as big as goose eggs, and then raised his head and asked, "Can Jiaojiao also take it back?" ”
Wu Zhi glanced at her and said, "Don't get an inch." ”
Everyone laughed, only Lu Xiang didn't look very happy. Zheng Lingyi scratched her neck, and Lu Xiang still held back and refused to laugh.
"This kid, why is it that the older he gets, the more ignorant he becomes." Su Shi said with some embarrassment.
Zheng Ling thought for a while and said to Lu Xiang: "Jiaojiao was given to me by my aunt, if the dog goes back to her house and gives birth again, I'll go and ask you for one, okay?" ”
"Really?" Lu Xiang suddenly became happy.
Zheng Lingyi nodded, and said rigorously: "But I can't guarantee when this puppy will be born." ”
It is rare for an adult to be willing to say such a thing to a child seriously, and Lu Xiang has an expectation in his heart and has already met it.
Su Shi looked at Zheng Lingyi's stomach and said with emotion: "I will be able to see this little guy in a few months." ”
Zheng Lingyi stroked her stomach with a light smile, and said, "I also want to thank my aunt for selling this face for me, I know that her old man has not been a stable wife for a long time." ”
Su's aunt only worked as a stable wife for a few years when the family was down, and in recent years, no one has invited her except for relatives and friends.
Su Shi waved his hand again and again, and said: "What is this, my aunt has loved me since she was a child, and my three children were delivered by her, and each of them is smooth." Don't be afraid, in a few months, I will come with Xiang'er to stay with you for a few days. ”
"Thank you, aunt." Wu Zhi was deeply moved, and he was framed by Lu Zhi halfway through his waist.
Wu Zhi looked down at Lu Zhi's hand resting on his waist, and the expression on his face was very indescribable.
"Brother, I'm still worried." Lu Zhi frowned.
Wu Yan broke his hand away and said, "Worried about being useful? Let's go home and rest. ”
Su Shi dragged Lu Zhi and said, "Your brother said so, what are you talking about, come, Xiang'er, let's go back." ”
When the three of them walked to the door, Su suddenly turned his head to look at Wu Punishment, but he just pretended to be relaxed, and his worries were still in his eyes.
Wu Yan nodded at her, although it was just such a simple action, it made Su Shi feel a lot more relieved.
"Are you sure the bookstore is fine?" After the two returned to the inner room, Zheng Lingyi said softly.
"There are no absolutes in the world, but," Wu Zhi took a sip of tea, it seemed that he was really not in a hurry, "nine times out of ten it will be fine, maybe......
"Maybe what?" Zheng Lingyi asked curiously.
Wu Zhi changed his mind again, shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, although I do some small errands for the emperor, I never delve into the holy will, although sometimes it seems dull, but at the critical time, it is the way to save my life." ”
Zheng Lingyi's hand shrank abruptly in Wu Zhi's palm, Wu Zhi shook it tightly, and said: "Don't worry, I think you first, my own life is the most important, and Ronghua will go to the back row." I will inquire about the affairs of my aunt's family, but I will wait and see what happens, and the current emperor's mind is not shallower than that of the old emperor. ”
Zheng Lingyi stared at Wu Zhi firmly, as if he was afraid that he would suddenly disappear. Wu Zhi doesn't like to talk about what he does outside, but as long as Zheng Lingyi asks, he will always say it, but Zheng Lingyi also feels his dislike, and rarely asks questions, just know a little bit about it.
As the days passed, the begonias in the courtyard were grateful, and the gardener came to dig up two surplus trees, wrapped them under the guidance of Qin Erniang, and sent them all the way to the Wu family.
The bare gap was only empty for half a day, and it was filled by Qin Erniang with clumps of mint.
Zheng Lingyi sat under the porch and watched her busy work, and said, "Can you live by planting mint at this time?" ”
Qin Erniang squatted in the mud, wiped the beads of sweat that rolled into a string of pearl chains on her chin, and said, "The villain can live when he looks at the cold weather this year!" It's no problem for everyone to take a refreshing shower. ”
Peppermint grows for a season, and at the end of summer it is replaced with purple jasmine, this flower only blooms for one season, but it is very leathery, easy to feed, the flowers are small, tender, and you have to look closely to appreciate the charm.
In addition to the flowers and plants on the edge of the main house, the garden is Qin Erniang's world.
Her shy little daughter doesn't often appear in front of people, but Zheng Lingyi has recently followed the instructions of the aunt of the Su family, and every day she walks for an hour, and she can always meet this cowardly little girl in the garden.
"Ma'am." She saluted in a very regular manner, but she bent down and quickly disappeared into the flowers.
"Why is this kid so afraid of seeing people?" Zheng Lingyi also wanted to pick a weed off her head, but she didn't have a chance.
"Erniang told me that this girl was left in the wasteland by her father and waited for death, and she survived a night, and when Erniang found her, the girl was so scared that she didn't speak for several months, and I don't know if it's because of this." Lu Nong explained for Zheng Lingyi.
Zheng Lingyi's eyes showed pity, and he sighed: "A woman's life is miserable. ”
"When I met Erniang, and I met Mrs. You, this girl's life is not bitter. Look at how much we have grown taller in the past few months, and our little faces are round. Seeing that Zheng Lingyi was a little depressed, Luzhu hurriedly quipped.
By the time Zi Jasmine also thanked her, Zheng Lingyi's belly was already bulging high.
Su took Lu Xiang to live in Wu's house, Zheng Changchang also came more and more diligently, but Shen Qin couldn't come, she was also pregnant, but she was still young, so she didn't dare to say it categorically.
The Su family has been worried about the affairs of her mother's family for many months, and she has only heard the thunder loudly, and she has not seen the raindrops, and she has not been able to let go of her heart and endure hardship, Zheng Lingyi saw that she was a lot haggard.
In the previous month, a business in the palace suddenly came to the door, and the Su family was so frightened that they didn't have time to pass the Su family, so they came to find Wu Punishment.
Wu punished them to take over the business, and the Su family hesitated for a long time before they accepted it with fear, and with the reputation of this royal service, the business suddenly improved a lot, and the little grandson who was quietly taken out of the house was also brought back.
Even if the king's heart is like an abyss, the people in this capital also understand the emperor's meaning, the young dragon has long grown into a dragon roaring for nine days, and even the regent can't tolerate it, so there is still room for the old phoenix to spread its wings?
Princess Song Zhi because of the contact with the Chen family, intermittently and Zheng Ling also had a few opinions, she is easy-going, people talk interestingly, except for the first time in front of her to touch a nail, Zheng Lingyi actually likes her very much, has the heart to be close to her, and is afraid that others will say that she is flattering, so she does not dare to say too much.
After learning that Zheng Lingyi was pregnant, Song Zhi gave her some gadgets, which were not valuable, and because of this, Zheng Lingyi felt close. I don't know if it's because of Wu Zhi's current identity, Song Zhi borrowed Shen Qin's hand and gave it away.
Zheng Lingyi liked it in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she quietly thanked her and gave her a pair of hand-carved incense seals.
Wu Zhi watched her fiddling with the things Song Zhi had given him, and suddenly said, "The fourth brother is coming back." ”
Zheng Lingyi suddenly looked up at him and said, "People in the army, there must always be an explanation when they come back, why is he?" ”
"The emperor's wedding Zhao family is the queen's foreign family, although the queen's father, General Zhao Ci, will not come back, but her brother Zhao Yan will come back, and the fourth brother is now working under him." Wu Zhi said, and he couldn't see any special emotions.
probably don't know that Wu Congjing's military career in the past few years has broken his temperament? Or is it the same? Or is it even more off-track?
"I heard that the princess's sister is deeply loved by the emperor, and her background is on par with the queen, why is she just a concubine and not the queen?" Zheng Lingyi couldn't do many things during her pregnancy, and she also had a little more mind to listen to the gossip of others.
"The relationship between the prince and the emperor is so stiff now, and the princess's father has been in the west for many years, although the queen's mother's family is also in the army, but the place where Zhao Ci garrisoned the army is always chaotic, far less than the peace in the west for many years. In the western realm, it can be said that he only knows the Song family's army, but he doesn't know who the emperor is. Do you think the princess's sister can get rid of these obstacles and still be close to the emperor? ”
Wu Zhi's words made Zheng Lingyi stunned, she slightly brought into the situation of the woman in the deep palace, only to feel a chill all over her body, and she couldn't help but shiver.
Wu Zhi looked around, the windows and doors were all tight, I don't know where this cold came from, and I can only add a coat to Zheng Lingyi.
The scene of Song Zhi's sister in the deep palace somehow made Zheng Lingyi think of Zheng Shuangshuang, she hadn't heard from this sister for a long time, so she took a snack to see her, but she was also turned away.
Every time Zheng Lingyi thinks about it, his heart is about to break into pieces.
It is precisely because of this that she doesn't want to touch this nail again before giving birth, so as not to feel uncomfortable and move the fetus.
Zheng Changchang should have tried it, but it must not be good, otherwise, she would have shared the news with Zheng Lingyi a long time ago.
In the past few months, Miao's has been here twice, Zheng Lingyi always wants to ask her about Zheng Shuangshuang's news, but Miao's can't say anything, just say it's all right, and then ask Lu if he has shown Zheng Shuangshuang people's family, Miao said that he has this meaning, and then asked which households, but Miao didn't know.
It's not that the Miao family doesn't listen to what is going on outside the window, but after the last time, the Lu family has long been guarding against her, where can she still hear the news?
From Song Zhi's sister thinking of Zheng Shuangshuang, and then thinking of Miao's family, Zheng Lingyi couldn't help muttering: "Why hasn't my sister-in-law come recently?" ”
Zheng Lingyi's sister-in-law in private is not the Wu family, but the Miao family.
Gao Man has never been here, Wan Yuanyuan just came a few days ago, so what she said must be Miao's.
"If you want to see her, you might as well ask the maid on the Zhuangzi to deliver the news to her brother and sister-in-law, and spend some silver. When the gambler saw the money, there was nothing he refused to do. Wu punished Zheng Lingyi with an idea.
Zheng Lingyi hooked his lips and smiled, and said: "Treat the other in the other way, Lord Wu is really cunning enough."
Yikes. ”
