Chapter 21: The Clouds

Everyone didn't understand why the Lu family suddenly mentioned Xiayun's marriage, Xiayun was a first-class maid in her small kitchen, specializing in serving medicinal soup, and she had never had a relationship with these aunts and concubines.

Zheng Lingyi quickly lowered his eyes and raised them again, timidly grabbing Aunt Jiang's clothes and not daring to speak.

Originally, at this time, it should have been the time for Aunt Guo to come out and talk obediently, but the atmosphere was too frightened, that is, Aunt Guo, a person who had no body, was also frightened, and she didn't dare to beg for goodness anymore, for fear that Lu would be angry and come to sit down indiscriminately.

Aunt Guo found that Lu's eyes fell on her, and she was suspicious and afraid, thinking that Lu was dissatisfied with her not expressing, so she had to say: "Xiayun got married, and the concubine set a thin ceremony to watch the ceremony and bless." ”

As soon as she said this, everyone immediately agreed.

Lu Shi looked at them silently, leaned sideways and elegantly picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

"Still not going out yet?" Qiao Zhu raised her face, with an arrogant tone.

Aunt Jiang grabbed the hands of her two daughters and walked out behind Aunt Cai.

Her palms were cold and slippery, and cold sweat was sticky.

'Auntie, you're scared, aren't you?' Zheng Lingyi looked up at Aunt Jiang, and it wasn't until she returned to the room that there was a little blood on her face.

I don't know how she gave birth to herself and her sister under Lu's nose in the past.

Aunt Jiang drank two glasses of water in a row, and her beating heart gradually calmed down.

Qiao Luo said with a scared face: "Fortunately, Aunt Ai is also pregnant, otherwise Madame's eyes are always on you, which is really scary." ”

"She didn't think the same way, she heard her aunt say that she was pregnant, so she jumped out, otherwise she didn't know when she would hide it."

Zheng Lingyi said while rubbing her hands for Aunt Jiang.

Aunt Jiang is glad to have Aunt Ai to share Lu's attention for herself, why doesn't Aunt Ai want Aunt Jiang to be her shield?

"Tomorrow the clouds will go out, and my aunt will not go. I'll just go. Qiao Luo said.

Aunt Jiang shook her head and said, "No, at this time, is it difficult to nod in front of Madame?" ”

Qiao Luo nodded helplessly, and said, "Madam's behavior is really incomprehensible, what does Xiayun have to do with us when he goes out?" ”

When Qiao Luo said this, Zheng Lingyi took Zheng Changchang's hand and returned to the side pavilion.

Why did Xiayun suddenly get married, Zheng Ling thought that he probably knew.

Xiayun's temperament is simple and has no scheming, so he asked the Lu family to specially serve Anheju medicine soup.

Although it is a top important errand, there is no oil and water to fish, and it is not close to Lu's body.

Although the name of this kind of maid is good, it is not as good as those second-class maids who really serve in Anhe.

This day has no taste, Xiayun got up with the idea of getting married, her mother is the head of the Zhuangzi outside, and she found a family for her early, it is the family of the Zhuangzi who sent vegetables to the Guogong Mansion, and secretly said that the family matter, just waiting for Xiayun to ask for grace from the Lu family, and let her go out to marry.

But no matter what Xia Yunming said or secretly said, this Lu family always did not allow it.

The man couldn't wait, and leaked some intention to withdraw from the marriage, Xiayun was naturally anxious, so he took advantage of the time when his fiancΓ© Daoguo Mansion sent something, and coaxed him with some intimate sweetness.

Every few days in the afternoon, this man would wait for the maid in the inner courtyard at the side gate to collect it, and Xiayun bought the maid and exchanged errands with her.

Xiayun thought she was hidden, but she didn't know that she had already been seen a few times by Qiao Mo next to Aunt Ai, and as soon as the maid was publicized, Qiao Luo took it as a joke and talked to Aunt Jiang.

When adults talk about these things, they always hide it, but Zheng Lingyi understands it all.

In the afternoon, there were few people in the kitchen, and the maids and maids in charge of the meals had rested, and they were going to prepare dinner in two hours.

Only the small medicine stove was still fluttering, Zheng Lingyi saw Xia Yun happily going out of the side door of the small kitchen, so he took the opportunity to get in, and added blazing grass to the medicine, and no one noticed.

In this way, Xiayun was sent out to marry, but it is not that the Lu family wronged her.

But the family she wants to marry is a domestic slave on the basket village.

Zheng Lingyi lay upright on the bed, unable to sleep.

At this moment, she is safe and sound, but this safe and sound is not in vain.

Zheng Yangyang and Xia Yun are all sins for her.

Zheng Lingyi closed his eyes, but his ears were full of Zheng Yangyang's vain wails.

The night was dark, but the lights were still bright in Aunt Cai's room in Dongyuan, and Yin Niang, the eldest girl in Dongyuan, was on duty here, slammed the door, and said: "What time is it now, and you still spend this idea candle flame, do you really think you are some kind of master?" ”

The candle flame was extinguished in an instant, Yin Niang took a sip, and then left satisfied.

Qiaoran covered Aunt Cai's mouth to cover her sad and desolate whimper.

After Yin Niang left, Qiao Ran let go of her hand, and Aunt Cai fell to the ground, unable to cry anymore.

Suddenly, a pair of cold and soft hands helped Aunt Cai up.

Aunt Cai turned around and saw that Zheng Yangyang, who had been in bed for many days, had been silent.

"Auntie, don't cry, I'm fine." Zheng Yangyang said softly.

There was no candle flame in the room, only a little moonlight, and there was no blood on Zheng Yangyang's face, like a ghost about to melt in the moonlight.

"Kid." Aunt Cai muttered, reaching out in disbelief to touch Zheng Yangyang's face.

She entered the house quite early, and she still remembers the second sister's affairs vividly, and she also knows the final fate of the second sister, so she has been guarding Zheng Yangyang in the past few days, for fear that she will also follow the old path of the second sister.

Now that he saw Zheng Yangyang willing to cheer up, he was naturally overjoyed, just smiling and laughing, and tears fell again.

Zheng Yangyang wiped away Aunt Cai's tears, she was no different from the past, but there was a little indescribable change, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes seemed to become sharper.

"I heard from you today that Xiayun married to Luokung Village?" Her tone was light, as if she was talking about homely things.

"My sister asked her what she was doing? Maybe she was not careful on an errand, and she brought her sister. Aunt Cai frowned and touched Zheng Yangyang's face distressedly.

Zheng Yangyang didn't answer, and said to Qiao Ran with a light smile: "I heard you say before, this Xia Yun has an affair with the little guy in the outer courtyard, and there will be a tryst every afternoon?" Who are you listening to about this? ”

Her smile made Qiao Ran a little inexplicably afraid, and subconsciously replied: "It was Aunt Ai's side Qiao Mo who said it."

"Oh?" Zheng Yangyang's eyes moved slightly, and he seemed to be very interested and said: "Today, our house is happy, Aunt Jiang and Aunt Ai are pregnant, aren't they?" ”

"Sister, the most important thing now is to take care of your body, we don't have to take care of other people's affairs." Aunt Cai said as she helped Zheng Yangyang to lie down on the bed.

Zheng Yangyang obediently lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, her long ink-colored hair was spread on the soft pillow of silver satin, she looked pure and innocent.

Qiao Ran was about to pour her a glass of water, when she suddenly heard Zheng Yangyang say to Aunt Cai: "The purpose of letting Mrs. have nightmares is to make Mrs. afraid of retribution, why should Mrs. be afraid of retribution?" ”

Qiao Ran couldn't help but stop, and heard Zheng Yang's ethereal and ethereal voice sound, "She wants Madame to let her go, or, the child in her belly?" ”

When she came back with tea, she saw Aunt Cai carefully retreat from Zheng Yangyang's room, turned around and saw Qiao Ran, and said, "Let her sleep peacefully for a while." ”

Qiao Ran nodded as usual and said, "Auntie, you can sleep too." I went out first. ”

The night is long, if you fall asleep, it will be dawn when you open your eyes, and if you can't sleep, I am afraid that it will be difficult to endure tightly.

I don't know if it's because the two concubines are pregnant one after another, Zheng Guogong only feels indebted, or with a sense of appeasement, he stayed in Anheju last night.

The morning was also done by Lu Shi himself before going to the court.

Lu's mood was naturally good, but Zheng Yanxian was the only one who came during breakfast, and Zheng Yanru was obviously still thinking about Lu's hurtful words that day.

Lu Shi looked at the empty position and said, "As I get older, my temperament is also getting bigger. ”

"Madame, the third sister will figure it out." Qiao Zhu persuaded dryly, she is good at slapping horses, but such tactful persuasion is not her strong point.

Danzhu walked in at this time, and saw that Zheng Yanru still hadn't come, so he first served a bowl of abalone and shredded chicken porridge for the Lu family, and said with a smile: "Mrs. and the third sister are really mother and daughter, and what the third sister asked for in the small kitchen today is also abalone and shredded chicken porridge." ”

"Will she eat it? I thought it was tough! Lu's heart is wide, but his mouth is unforgiving.

Danzhu smiled gently again and said, "Madame is really a knife-mouthed tofu heart." ”

Lu's expression seemed to ease, and he took a bite of porridge.

Qiao Zhu pursed her lips disdainfully, and heard Dan Zhu say, "Qiao Zhu, you go out first." ”

Qiao Zhu and Dan Zhu are both big girls, naturally there is no reason to be called, she is not happy, so she stood still, until Lu Shi glanced at it lightly, she hurriedly went out.

"This girl." Lu shook his head, but didn't say anything more.

Danzhu bent down and said to the Lu family: "Madam, Qiaoran came to report......

Danzhu said carefully, and Lu Shi could hear it clearly.

"She thinks thoroughly, such a thought, that is, I wronged her, and it is not wronged!" Lu Shi used the porridge slowly, smiled, and said.

"However, the ninth sister did not admit it in the end." Dan Zhu said.

"Hmph, this kind of heart, even if it is used by me at the moment, I may have to fight back in the future."

Lu Shi sneered, wiped the corners of his mouth, got up and handed his hand to Danzhu, and said, "If it weren't for the fact that she still had to make poems for the third sister, I wouldn't dare to keep her life." ”

Danzhu carefully supported her and said, "That ninth sister suspects Aunt Ai for a reason, should we check?" ”

"Don't bother with that idea, please be happy today, you can leave Aunt Ai behind." The smile lines at the corners of Lu's eyes became deeper and deeper, as if a good show was about to start.

"Auntie!"

Lu Congxin's voice came from outside, and the smile on Lu's face became a little more sincere, and he hurriedly walked outside, just as he met the young man's sunny smile.
