Chapter 234: Take your life
"The red rope of this jade pendant has long been finely sharpened, and the slaves and maids are lazy, and they didn't change it for Mrs. in time." Midorino hurriedly said, squatting down and putting all the pieces into the veil.
"What does it have to do with you?" Zheng Lingyi pulled out the lonely red rope and frowned at the bag of broken jade hidden in the palm of his palm.
She suddenly turned to look at the empty Dao Tan at the door of Wu's house, and her heart jumped suddenly, "Little brother came on a horse alone today, I should send someone to send him back." ”
"Madame really talks more and more heart, my brother rides a horse back quickly, all the way is the avenue, what is there to worry about, and it is not my daughter's house."
Lu Nong's words are not all to relax Zheng Lingyi's heart, the sky is long in the summer, and it is still bright, and at a glance, the finches falling on the treetops in the distance are clearly visible.
"Madam, don't worry about it, let's go back." Lu Nong persuaded, holding Zheng Lingyi, who was still turning his head to look outside, and entered the door of the house.
The jade pendant that fell suddenly always made Zheng Lingyi feel uncomfortable, and he looked restless when he returned to Jingju.
"Go to the outer courtyard to find Wang Dou, and let him go to the county lord's mansion to see if Qijun has returned." Wu Zhi didn't say anything more, and said to Lu Nong.
Zheng Lingyi actually wanted to do this, but she was afraid that it would be too much, or Wu Zhi would be decisive and simple, saving her a lot of unnecessary worries.
She grabbed Wu Punishment's hand and shook it, and looked at him with blinking eyes, Wu Punishment's eyes were gentle and infinite, and said, "Is it available?" ”
Zheng Lingyi nodded, and Luzhu gestured to Pei'er outside the door, Pei'er Yifu went to the small kitchen to pass the word.
The summer night breeze is cool, blowing refreshing people's hearts, and now on this day, melons, fruits and vegetables are rushing up, cucumbers stuffed with vinegar, eggplant roasted in sauce, everything has been raced over meat dishes.
"What are you going to have for dinner tonight?" Zheng Lingyi asked Green Bead.
The dishes of the people below are all set by green, and they are not more than a portion of silver.
"It seems that there is a sour pickled melon, surimi croquettes, and a small cut of meat, and the mothers who keep vigil don't have croquettes, but add a mung bean porridge." Lu Zhu remembered the fragrance of Jin's mother fried surimi balls before, and she was about to say that she was hungry.
Wu Zhi put a chopsticks of shredded chicken into Zheng Lingyi's bowl, and motioned for her to drink winter melon and shrimp soup.
After Luzhu finished serving his master's meal, he instructed Pei'er to remove the cups, plates, dishes and chopsticks.
Zheng Lingyi said that he wanted to go for a walk, and Lu Zhu wanted to accompany him, but Lu Nong walked in with the hour, grabbed Zheng Lingyi's wrist and said, "Tell me to catch up." ”
She said to Luzhu again, "Go eat it." I'll just do it. ”
Luzhu was indeed hungry, and she smiled and retreated.
The dishes of her, Lu Nong, Mother Jin and Qiao Niang are the same, Lu Nong and Lu Zhu have to eat separately, so as not to have no one to serve in front of Zheng Lingyi, Mother Jin makes four portions a day, and she will keep one copy.
When Lu Zhu went to the dining room of the next person, Mother Jin and Qiao Niang had only eaten half of it.
"The green bead girl is here," Qiao Niang lifted the plate of white gauze and pushed it to her.
There is also a small plate of mung bean cake on the dinner plate, which is as green as jade, and a bamboo leaf is burned on it.
"Aunt Qiao." Lu Zhu cautiously pointed to the mung bean cake and said.
Qiao Niang pulled her hair for the green beads and said, "I made it for my wife, make a few more pieces, if it is hot today, it will be bad if you don't eat it." It's okay, I've got it all in my account. You and I both know Madame's temperament, she is generous, let's not hide it, it's okay. ”
Luzhu nodded, and then happily ate it.
As soon as she finished eating, she only went back to her lodging to wash up and then went back to the main house to serve, and she stayed in front of her master like her, and no one was lazy.
Who knew that when she went back, she ran into Wu Zhi and Zheng Lingyi and hurriedly walked out of the house with anxious expressions, and Lu Nong followed behind her, also with a worried face.
"What, what's wrong? Didn't you go for a walk? Before she could finish speaking, the three of them had already blown past her like the wind.
Pei'er knew, and stepped forward and whispered to Luzhu: "It was said that Madame's younger brother had an accident on the way home, and Madame was so anxious that she wanted to rush over to take a look." ”
Luzhu wanted to catch up, but he felt that he couldn't help if he went, so he might as well stay here and guard the yard.
Jiaojiao sensed Luzhu's restlessness, raised her wet nose and touched Luzhu's palm.
Lu Zhu touched its face with her backhand, and said to Pei'er: "I'm here to do it, you can take advantage of this time to go to dinner." When I came back, I went to the small kitchen and brought Jiaojiao's rice. ”
Pei'er obediently retreated, and walked to the dining room at the back, there was no one in the dining room, Pei'er took her own dish, and when she opened it, she saw a refreshing variety of side dishes, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Does that make you laugh? Green beads and green thick can have croquettes. It's like our dish, and it can't float a trace of oil splash when thrown into the water. ”
Fen Niang's ghost lingered, and she came out of nowhere and sat down beside Pei'er.
Pei Er didn't speak, just picked up a long strip of shredded meat from the mixed vegetables.
Fen Niang silently 'sighed', and when she saw that there was still an orange on Pei'er's plate, she couldn't help but tighten her cheeks, thinking that she and Pei'er were the same portion, but in the end they were still different.
She didn't want to think about it, Pei'er stood all day long, and she had to go and go back quickly, so naturally it was much harder than her.
"Why are you eating at this hour, I remember you have to be a little late." Fen Niang said again.
Pei'er has a kind temperament, and she can't completely ignore Fenniang, so she said: "There is no one in the front yard for the time being, so Sister Luzhu asked me to eat first." ”
Fen Niang approached Pei'er and said narrowly, "Madame, young master, rested so early?" ”
Pei'er heard the overtone in her words, frowned, and said, "What nonsense, the masters have something to do." ”
Fen Niang squinted at Pei'er and said, "It's not strange to rest earlier, I haven't had a child for so long, and everyone is in a hurry." ”
Pei'er was used to eating slowly, but she was forced to eat too fast by Fen Niang, and she choked up accidentally.
Fen Niang served tea and patted her back, which made it even more difficult for Pei'er to drive her away, she coughed and blushed, finally calmed down, and said to her: "Let's not talk about the master, the master knows it himself." ”
Fen Niang remembered Wu Zhi's indifference that day, and took Pei'er's words as a wind in her ears, and the warm air blew on Pei'er's ears, "You say, could it be that our young master can't do it?" ”
Pei'er's face was as red as a persimmon, and when she remembered the broken whispers she had accidentally heard at night, she felt that Fen Niang's words were presumptuous, and she felt ridiculous and ridiculous.
"You, you, you don't talk nonsense! Carefully misfortune comes out of the mouth! Pell blushed and stammered.
Such a reaction just proved that Fen Niang's idea was wrong, she was a little discouraged, but she was quiet.
Until Pei'er left after eating, Fen Niang didn't say anything, just thinking, 'This road, I probably can't earn anything.' ’
Pei'er returned to the main house, and saw Luzhu leaning on the vermilion pillar under the porch in a daze, Jiaojiao smelled the fragrance of the food in her hand, and couldn't wait to arch her.
Pei'er put down the food bowl and stood quietly aside.
I don't know how long it took, but Pell remembered that she seemed to have taken two naps, and the mothers-in-law who were keeping vigil also turned on the lights and patrolled from them twice.
It wasn't until the two watches that the masters returned.
Zheng Lingyi's expression was a little better than when she went, but she was a little more tired, and she also brought Jiaojiao a straw juju, saying that Sister Luo made it for it.
Luzhu woke up at once, wondering in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask rashly.
After sending the masters into the room, and waiting for supper and washing, Zheng Lingyi said that he wanted to be quiet and quiet, and Lu Zhu and Lu Nong retreated.
"What the hell is going on?" Green Bead couldn't hold back.
Lu Nong yawned, wrapped his arms around his arms quite fearfully, and said: "Brother almost let the gangster kill him on the way home, but fortunately, the gangster didn't know that he had a short sword hidden in his body, so he coldly asked his brother to draw a sword, and then escaped." The brother lay on the horseback and went all the way back to the county lord's mansion, slid off the horse in blood, and the little guy guarding the door was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he ran all the way to pass the word, almost scaring the county lord. ”
"What?!" Lu Zhu was so shocked that his eyes were about to jump out, and he said in his heart: "Then it's okay now." ”
"Although the wound is long, it is not deep, but fortunately, during this time, my brother learned some kung fu from the young master, avoided the fatal place, and his body bones have also grown a little. The doctor looked at the injury and said that it would be good to give birth for two days. Midorino said, still frowning.
"Madame guarded her brother until the second watch before coming back?" Midori asked again.
Lu Nong shook his head and said, "Not really, Madam is waiting for news from the young master." As soon as this matter came out, the young master went to check with Lord Qiu, the gangsters didn't come out of thin air, and the brother said that the two gangsters went straight to the door as soon as they came up, and they didn't want money, but they wanted to die. ”
Lu Zhu's eyes lit up, he grabbed Lu Nong's hand, and said categorically: "Old lady! It must be the old witch! ”
Midori smiled dejectedly, not much at all.
"You and I have guessed, how could Madame not think that as soon as the county lord saw that his brother was injured like that, he summoned the nursing home to go to the Zheng family to ask for an explanation, so Lord Qiu stopped him. This empty talk has no evidence, even if you are very sure, you can't stand the bite of people and deny it. The young master seems to have found some clues, but I don't know very well. ”
Lu Nong glanced at the door of the main house, and said in a low voice: "Brother is our wife who has worked hard to keep it, if she is raised to such a big age, she can still make the Lu family harm, and Mrs. will fight with her." ”
When Zheng Ling commented on Zheng Qijun, she softly soothed, and her eyes turned red as soon as she turned her head, she didn't have a single tear, and the red in her eyes was anger.
Since Zheng Guogong first proposed to take Zheng Qijun back, Zheng Lingyi had hidden worries in his heart, and today Zheng Qijun has suffered a lot, but the stone in Zheng Lingyi's heart can be regarded as falling to the ground.
Anyway, if Lu Shi makes a move, there will be an account.
