Chapter 236: The Marriage of the Stone
Although the county lord handed over a message to Zheng Lingyi, saying that Zheng Guogong promised to dispose of the Lu family, Zheng Lingyi didn't want to go to Wan'er's birthday banquet, but he was also worried about seeing Zheng Changchang, thinking about it, and decided to go on a trip.
She spit out a few mouthfuls in the mirror, feeling that she could hide her emotions, before handing her hand to Luzhu and saying, "Let's go." ”
Midori bowed her away slightly, turning around and walking towards the corner of the cloister.
Pei'er was baking medicinal food there, and the pu fan was fanning one after another, stealing a few wisps of cool breeze to offset the heat brought by the charcoal fire.
Her eyes opened for a moment, looking at the people who called Coke, who called the summer heat, and made people sleep.
"I'll do it." Lu Zhu patted Pei'er, and when she saw that she was staring at her in a daze, she was about to fall asleep, and couldn't help but smile: "Madam is discussing adding some people to the courtyard, and when the time comes, I will mention you, so you don't have to wear multiple hats." ”
Pei'er was naturally happy, and took a puff fan to fan Lu Nong, "Is it the original old man who has been promoted?" ”
"How can there be such a good thing, thinking that it is good to live with your fingers crossed and become a mother-in-law? It is also necessary for the lady to be able to see and do things effectively. ”
Pei'er tapped her chin with a fan, and said uncertainly: "I'm so clumsy, can Madame look down on me?" ”
She looked worried, obviously really feeling that she was not worthy, Lu Zhu felt a little pity in her heart, and thought of her uncompetitive sister, and said with some hatred: "You are down-to-earth and hardworking, you have your benefits, why do you look down on yourself like this?" Huan'er is really unsightly. ”
When she talked about Huan'er, Pei'er didn't dare to answer.
Lu Nong threw a handful of soaked lilies into the medicinal diet, and said to Pei'er: "When you first met Huan'er, was she such a lazy and hard-working person?" ”
"What is good and bad?" Pei asked puzzled.
"It's just lazy to do it, thinking of the stupid things she did, I don't have a face in front of my wife." Every time Lu Nong thinks about it, he can still embarrass a layer of goosebumps.
Pei'er never said bad things about people behind her back, but since Lu Nong asked, she didn't want to answer, but just said euphemistically: "Huan'er has a clever mouth, and the master likes it, so she has to live a more leisurely life." It's just that when I met the old lady who was in charge of the back house, I still suffered a little. ”
Sensing that Lu Nong seemed to want to ask again, Pei'er hurriedly said, "How is she doing in Zhuangzi now?" It's a good time. ”
As soon as he said this, Lu Nong's face sank slightly.
Pei'er was too frightened to speak, so she took a pu fan and fanned the stove vigorously, but the fire was too fierce and some soup was put out.
Lu Nong pulled her up and said, "Why are you so small, I just think of that girl, and I feel a little unhappy." She is still the same in the Zhuangzi, and she thinks that the work is heavy and boring, and Luzhu asks her to pester her every time she goes, asking her to pass on a message to me. ”
What Lu Nong didn't say was that seeing that Lu Zhu was very annoyed by Huan'er, Lu Nong was thinking about her sister in her heart, and she went to see Huan'er a few days ago.
Huan'er didn't say a few words to ask for warmth, but when she came up, she inquired about Zhang Qishi's family background.
After learning that his mother was making snacks in the quiet house, Huan'er pursed her lips and said in a tone that she was inexplicably aggrieved: "It's a little worse, but it's okay." ”
Lu Nong was dizzy when he heard it, and he didn't know why, but he heard Huan'er say quite reasonably: "Sister, didn't Mrs. say that she would give me the deed before?" Is it still a word to talk now? ”
Lu Nong couldn't understand what was in her head, and said angrily: "Why are you so thick-skinned?" Even if Mrs. gives you the deed, how can you gain a foothold in the capital as a woman? ”
"Wouldn't it be nice to get married?" Huan'er said without shame, and when she heard it, her ears were red, and she couldn't stop saying a word when she pointed at her for a long time.
Huan'er held Lu Nong's hand absentmindedly, and said with great interest: "Sister, I look at that stone is good, but the skin is a little blacker." But I inquired, and the lady gave him a lot of monthly silver, and there were dividends and rewards at the end of the year! I heard that it's not just our Zhuangzi, he is also in charge of the two Zhuangzi next to his wife! ”
Only then did Lu Nong understand that Huan'er was planning to marry someone and be an idle young grandmother.
She is really not stupid, she knows that her slavery is an obstacle, so she came to find Lu Nong, I am afraid that she still wants to ask Lu Nong to deliver a message to Zheng Lingyi, and she wants to point out this marriage to the two of them.
Lu Nong was annoyed by Huan'er's shamelessness, but felt that this was really a good way for her, and if it could really be done, it would be a matter of her heart.
After getting married and having children, maybe Huan'er will be able to stabilize and no longer think about being so ignorant now.
Although Lu Nong planned to do so in his heart, he didn't want to rashly go to Zheng Lingyi to talk about it, after all, getting married is a major event in life, and it is always good to have wishful thinking.
She thought, first probe Qiao Niang's tone.
"Huan'er, the fire is almost inseparable, let's send it to South Park." Midorino commanded, and then walked to the small kitchen.
Now is the time to be idle in the small kitchen, Qiao Niang and Mother Jin are enjoying the shade under the thick shade at the door of the small kitchen, and there is a cool breeze here, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Mother Jin was lying on the chaise longue with a fan in her hand, already asleep.
Qiao Niang saw that Lu Nong was coming, pointed to the small stool beside her, and sprinkled a handful of freshly peeled soybeans into the bowl.
Lu Nong sat down beside Qiao Niang and listened to her whisper: "Make soy milk tomorrow morning to drink." ”
Midori nodded, thinking in his heart, but his mouth seemed to be muddled, and it was difficult to speak.
She herself is still in the boudoir, although she only sees Zhang Qishi as her younger brother, but she really wants to inquire about the news, she is still a little embarrassed.
"What's wrong? Blushing like this and not talking? Qiao Niang asked strangely.
"I just fried the medicinal food." It's not a lie, Midori pursed her lips, thinking.
Qiao Niang noticed that Lu Nong had been staring at herself, touched her face, and said, "What's wrong?" Got dirt on my face? ”
"No, no, no." Midori smiled: "I just thought that you are still so young, and you have a child as big as a stone." ”
There is no woman who doesn't like to hear people praise her, Qiao Niang's eyes smiled with some fine lines, and said: "I sometimes look at him and think it's strange, obviously it's still such a big little person, why is it so tall?" ”
"At this age, it's time to talk about family affairs." Lu Nong's words were a little anxious, which made Qiao Niang stunned.
Seeing the surprise in Qiao Niang's eyes, Lu Nong secretly said in her heart that something was wrong, Qiao Niang suddenly smiled, approached her and asked, "Did you inquire about your sister-in-law?" ”
Lu Nong was both surprised and delighted, thinking that Huan'er actually had such a blessing, and he couldn't care about being embarrassed, so he nodded.
Qiao Niang patted her thigh and said very excitedly: "Okay! You know how scared I am of the green beads, I don't mean that! I've had my eye on her for a long time! It's just that I'm worried that Mrs. still wants to keep the green beads for a few years, but it doesn't matter, the stone can afford to wait. ”
Qiao Niang broke a long string, but she didn't see the look on Lu Nong's face turn from joy to confusion, and pretended to be in touch with emotion.
"I, I also think the two of them are suitable, but I haven't, I haven't asked Green Beads seriously." Midori stumbled and said.
Qiao Niang was on the rise, and the strange appearance of Lu Nong was ignored in her eyes, "It's good for you to be like this, find an opportunity to ask for me, if the matter is done, I will give you a big matchmaker red envelope!" ”
"Okay, okay." Midori responded embarrassedly.
Lu Nong fidgeted and accompanied Qiao Niang, heard her say how much she liked Lu Zhu, endured it for a while, and found an excuse to leave.
Qiao Niang hummed a little song, and coldly heard Mother Jin speak: "You really can't hear it?" ”
"So you're always pretending to be asleep." Qiao Niang smiled, handed over a fruit plate in her hand, and said, "Can't hear anything?" ”
Mother Jin took a grape to eat, spit out the skin under the roots, and scolded with a smile: "You are a fool, you can't hear that Lu Nong is asking from your own family?" ”
Qiao Niang frowned and looked at a grape stuffed into her mouth, thinking about Mother Jin's words, and said, "Lunong? She's bigger than a stone, and it's not bad if a woman is older and knows how to hurt people, but I've just praised the green beads like that in front of her, I'm afraid it won't work. ”
Mother Jin choked on her words, coughed for a long time, and poured out a small piece of pulp.
"You always eat slowly, there are all the things in the lady's reward." Qiao Niang hurriedly patted her on the back and fed her water.
Mother Jin eased up, slapped Qiao Niang's cheek with tears and laughter, and said, "She is inquiring about her own sister-in-law!" ”
The smile on Qiao Niang's face disappeared, and she remembered the awkwardness in Lu Nong's words, which was indeed what she meant.
Qiao Niang snorted and said with some disdain: "She? I really can't look at that. ”
"Huh? You didn't come when the girl was in retreat? How do you know her character? Kim's mother asked.
"Isn't the stone on the Zhuangzi? I took food to see him in my spare time, and I met him once or twice, relying on the fact that she was Lu Nong's sister, and she was instructed by the Zhuang household, and I couldn't believe that she and Lu Nong were sisters. ”
Qiao Niang said: "But when the stone went to stop her, she looked obedient and obedient, and she actually had this thought." I saw that Lu Nong was also forced by this girl to probe my mouth today.,Fortunately, I heard the meaning.,Otherwise, it's embarrassing to refuse Lu Nong in person.。 ”
Mother Jin nodded approvingly, and said with a smile: "It's also a mistake, Lu Nong will probably go to explore the meaning of the green beads, and your cup of daughter-in-law tea seems to be a little hopeful." ”
Qiao Niang pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, her smile was quickly covered by worry, and she whispered: "Lu Nong shouldn't be messing up the water for his own sister, right?" ”
Mother Jin yawned and said calmly: "If she has this kind of heart, I am afraid she will not stay in front of Mrs. for long." You've known our lady for a long time, so you should know her intelligence. ”
Qiao Niang recalled the little girl who jumped off the wall and looked at her vigilantly, she was already smart at a young age.
Although Qiao Niang didn't think that Lu Nong was that kind of person, but with Zheng Lingyi's layer as a guarantor, she was immediately relieved.
