Chapter 122: Eyes
Aunt Jiang's temperament has always been steady, and after listening to Zheng Lingyi's guesses and judgments, she didn't show the slightest abnormality in front of Aunt Wan, but she was more cautious in her conversation and kept her secrets.
Zheng Mianmian has become more enthusiastic these days, and there seems to be a hint of spying in her words, and Zixin is still singing and harmonizing beside her, which makes Aunt Wan very puzzled.
Zheng Changchang was still a little awkward at the beginning, and she was always a little uncomfortable talking to Zheng Mianmian.
However, she also grew up with Zheng Lingyi, and she has seen her sister's ability to talk nonsense with her eyes open, and with the increase in the number of responses, she has become more and more familiar, dispelling Zheng Mianmian's many thoughts, which can be said to have made a lot of progress.
Zheng Lingyi felt that she should feel more at ease, but the colder the weather and the closer the divorce date, the more worried she became.
Zheng Yanxian gave birth to a daughter, and the Lu family ran to her mother's house almost every day, although the blood test was also successful, but the moment the granddaughter opened her eyes, the Lu family was relieved.
The baby's eyes as pure as water are really exactly the same as Lu Congxin. Even though his heart was still in his heart, Lu Congxin still hugged his daughter and took a nickname, called Shuang'er.
It's just that the day she opened her eyes happened to be frost, and in a few days, it would soon be the season of 'green ants brewing new wine, red clay small stove'.
After the frost fell, the weather suddenly cooled down.
Because he was afraid of revealing the stuffing, Qiaoluo was well-behaved when he went out to buy, and naturally he couldn't buy those things that he couldn't afford to provide.
Although the charcoal fire was not broken, this charcoal fire was really enough, if it burned for a day, at night, just one face could wash a basin of gray water.
Qiao Luo had no choice but to move the charcoal basin farther away and add a bird cage to the charcoal basin.
She was busy for a while, she was so smoked that her face was gray and white, and she was really embarrassed.
Qiaoluo was about to go to the basin to wash it, and when he opened the door, he saw Cui Tao standing outside.
Cui Tao was stunned for a moment, then looked at the dirty part of Qiao Luo's face, snorted disdainfully, and said, "Let your sister go to Qinghui Pavilion with me, the young lady has something to do with her." ”
Qiao Luo was a little reluctant, and turned around sullenly to pass the word to Zheng Lingyi.
Cui Tao shouted behind her, "Give you face!" Dare to throw your face at me?! ”
An elegant female voice soon came from the room, "Sister Cui Tao don't be surprised, Qiaoluo called the charcoal fire to smoke her throat, the voice was terrifying, I was afraid that she would startle everyone, so I told her to rest her throat." ”
Zheng Lingyi walked out wrapped in an ink-patterned cloak of swimming fish and shrimp, and said to Cui Tao:
Knowing that this was mostly an excuse, but it was a step at all, Cui Tao reluctantly blessed Zheng Lingyi and said, "Sister said yes." Let's go with the slaves. ”
In this posture, he didn't even let him ask a word.
Qiao Luo was a little worried, and involuntarily followed a few steps, and asked Zheng Lingyi to stop him with a look.
Wu Rouxiang sent a servant to make such a high posture, very much like following Lu's style of acting.
It seems that the method that Zheng Lingyi gave her at the beginning, Wu Rouxiang has used it more and more perfectly.
'I don't know what you are going to do when you come to me today?' ’
Along the way, Zheng Lingyi thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered that day in the Pingwang Mansion, Lu Nong said that he saw Wu Rouxiang stop Wu Rouxiang's carriage, and later Wu Rouxiang returned to the house, so he helped himself talk everywhere.
In an instant, it can make a person change his mind, either coercion or temptation.
Zheng Lingyi thought that coercion was obviously more in line with Wu Punishment's style.
This pimple has probably been pressed in Wu Rouxiang's heart for a long time, and pus is coming out today, and it seems that it has to be broken.
When I arrived at the door of Qinghui Pavilion, the doubts in my heart were almost sorted out.
Zheng Lingyi followed Cui Tao inside, and looked at everything in this courtyard very naturally, there was nothing strange in the courtyard, but a thick cloth curtain was hung at the door of the east wing, but the door of the west wing was bare.
"Sister, let's go in." Cui Tao stood still at the door and said to Zheng Lingyi.
The room was very warm, Wu Rouxiang sat on the soft floor and ate melon seeds, and the charcoal basin was drying at her feet.
After Zheng Lingyi entered the house, no maid came forward to widen her clothes for her, Zheng Lingyi did not show timidity, and after blessing Wu Rouxiang, she untied her cloak and hugged her in her arms.
Wu Rouxiang glanced at her, took a melon seed shell to Zheng Lingyi's feet, and then said, "Sit down." ”
Zheng Lingyi didn't see anger, but bent down and wrapped his fingers in a handkerchief, picked up the melon seed shell, and put it in the shallow bowl held by Cuizhi, and then sat down with a light smile, as if he was in a good mood and said, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" ”
Wu Rouxiang glanced at her sideways, and said in her heart, "I didn't plan to pay attention to her so quickly, but Fang Cai's low-eyed humble appearance is still pleasing to the eye." ’
She was in a better mood, but at the thought of what she had to say, she frowned again, like a walnut between her brows.
"An Heju has come back from helping the slut live, and he is low and small in front of your fifth brother, blowing the pillow wind in the shade."
Wu Rouxiang straightened up and glared at Zheng Lingyi angrily, and then pointed in the direction of An Heju and said angrily: "She resents me for helping you in front of my father-in-law that day!" At the end of the day, it's all up to you! ”
Zheng Ling looked at the little foam that spewed out of her mouth, and was extremely glad that she chose this position that was a little farther away from her.
After Wu Rouxiang finished speaking, Zheng Lingyi made a melancholy attitude, got up and blessed her, and said, "Sister-in-law, I really should thank you." If it weren't for you that day, I'm afraid I would have more dirty water on my body. ”
In fact, Wu Rouxiang's confidence was not very sufficient, seeing that Zheng Lingyi's gesture of gratitude was so humble, she only thought that Wu Punishment and her had not yet communicated, and then relaxed a lot.
The curvature of her body changed from tight to leisurely, Zheng Lingyi saw it in her eyes, and only said in distress: "However, the reason why Madame helped Aunt Ding go back to Qinghui Pavilion." My business is just an introduction at best. ”
Wu Rouxiang's heart was just a little relieved, and Zheng Lingyi arched the fire again, and reprimanded: "You still can't shirk it?" ”
"It's not shirking." Zheng Lingyi seemed to be a little flustered, and hurriedly said earnestly: "Sister-in-law, think about it, who will be in charge of this house in the future?" ”
Wu Rouxiang's eyes were angry, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Naturally, it's your fifth brother, is there anyone else?!" Who is left to use it? ”
Zheng Lingyi said patiently: "Isn't this it, everyone knows that in the future, this national mansion will be the fifth brother in charge, if the sister-in-law is appreciated by the fifth brother as she is now, and the husband and wife are harmonious, sooner or later the power of the back house will also come to the hands of the sister-in-law, how could Mrs. not think of this layer?" Aunt Ding is her person, and sooner or later she has to move her back in, otherwise wouldn't she be blind? How can anyone willingly hand over the power of the back house in their hands? ”
The voice is soft, and every sentence is igniting.
"Even if Aunt Ding is useless, then there are Aunt Zhao and Aunt Liu. The life of a woman outside is cheap, and a few taels of silver can get a sign of appearance, this thing is constantly rooted. ”
Zheng Lingyi said, sighing and shaking his head.
Wu Rouxiang was greatly frightened and uneasy by these words, and hurriedly said, "Then what do you say?" ”
Zheng Lingyi pursed her lips, looked at Wu Rouxiang with sincere eyes, and said, "There is a woman next to my brother who is favored, how much can my sister-in-law endure?" ”
This question made Wu Rouxiang stunned, staggered her gaze to hide a trace of discomfort in her eyes, and said: "As long as my position is stable, and the heirs are all in my hands, who cares about him so much." ”
Zheng Lingyi smiled approvingly and said, "Sister-in-law is so knowledgeable, and she still asks me what to do?" And generously leave Aunt Ding, whether it is to take advantage of the situation or set up a bureau, as long as my brother knows, this Aunt Ding is doing things for Mrs. from beginning to end, in order to check and balance your husband and wife. The fifth brother has seen a lot of these tricks, and he knows how to do it. ”
Wu Rouxiang nodded and said, "That's right." ”
Before Zheng Lingyi could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Wu Rouxiang say: "Are you really planning for me?" ”
"True or false, it's all spread out in front of my sister-in-law's eyes, and my sister-in-law can see it clearly." Zheng Lingyi didn't argue too much, just said lightly.
Wu Rouxiang was silent for a while, and suddenly spied: "Have you and Wu Punishment ever known each other before?" ”
"Wu punishment?" Zheng Lingyi pretended to be puzzled.
"It is the third son of the Wu family who is married to you." Ei Ori explained beside her.
Zheng Lingyi turned his face and frowned, and said: "How can I know, it's just that I met in the pepper garden by chance, and I heard a few words from the servants, and I knew that he lived in the Guogong Mansion for a while, and was bullied by the thirteenth brother very badly." ”
Listening to Zheng Lingyi's unwilling tone, Wu Rouxiang smiled proudly, and said in her heart: "It turned out that the mongrel was interested in unrequited love." ’
She breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "You are so high-spirited, you don't want to marry such a person." ”
"What else can be done?! In the end, it can't fly out of the palm of Madame's hand, sister-in-law, you have to be more careful of her in the future. ”
Zheng Lingyi looked sad and resigned to fate, holding the tea cup in both hands and reluctant to put it down, as if his heart was cold and his hands were cold.
A casual sentence dragged Wu Rouxiang into an upset mood.
She sprinkled the melon seeds in her hand and said to Zheng Lingyi: "We can be regarded as having some friendship, is it good to make a deal that is beneficial to you and me?" ”
Zheng Lingyi couldn't guess what she said, and she was confused: "What does sister-in-law mean?" ”
"When you get married, I'm afraid that my aunt and sister will not be taken care of."
Zheng Lingyi quickly understood what Wu Rouxiang meant, and said in disbelief: "This is natural, does my sister-in-law want to help me take care of it?" ”
"Naturally, I don't have the strength to take care of it, but at a critical juncture, I can still help, after all, you have to have a connection, right?"
Wu Rouxiang is a young lady after all, which is a breeze for her.
And this 'easy' is indeed what Zheng Lingyi needs.
"So, what does my sister-in-law need me to do?" Zheng Lingyi hesitated.
As he spoke, he already had a bad premonition in his heart.
"It's like that slut is the eyes of An Heju. I want you, be a pair of eyes I put next to Wu Punishment. ”
