Chapter 185: Teng's Birthday
Wu Zhen really did what he said, and arrived in the capital before lunch.
Hearing the news that he went to Dali Temple first, and I don't know how long he will stay, Zheng Lingyi estimated that he was in a hurry to come back, and he must not have eaten, so that the kitchen was kept with fire, and as soon as Wu Zhi's footsteps entered the door, there was a hot steam in the small kitchen.
The young leaves of this locust tree were sent by the Su family, and Mother Jin made locust leaf rice a few days ago, and today she was instructed by Zheng Lingyi to make a bowl of refreshing cold food for Wu Xuan.
When he hurried back to the retreat, the beauty was waiting for him with a smile and a bowl of fresh and lovely locust leaves.
After cleaning his hands, Huai Ye Tao was just in the entrance, so meticulous and proper, full of warmth, it was not in vain that Wu Yan didn't even care about eating lunch and came back.
Wu Zhi was really hungry, so he hurried back to Beijing overnight, and ate dry food along the way, barely satisfied, what is the taste at all.
Although Zheng Lingyi had many questions to ask, he still pressed them for the time being, only lying on the table, watching Wu Zhi eat with a soft smile on his eyebrows.
Rushing under the sun is extremely physically exhausting, although I drank a cup of tea in Dali Temple, but it was very hot again, although I quenched my thirst, but in the end it was not refreshing. It's better than this bowl of cold tao with sour pickles, which comes smoothly.
"Huh." Wu Zhi let out a sigh of relief and smiled at Zheng Lingyi.
Zheng Lingyi tilted his head to look at him, and also smiled, feeling satisfied, as if this bowl of cold tao was for her to eat.
Lu Zhu put away the dishes and chopsticks, closed the door, and asked the two of them to talk.
"How's the case going?" Zheng Lingyi asked curiously.
Wu Zhi was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a warm soft object sticking to his legs, he reached out and grabbed the loose skin on Jiaojiao's neck, regardless of its constant whimpering, he just took it out of the door and handed it to Luzhu.
Now it is summer, although Wu Zhi has eaten a bowl of cold Tao, and his restlessness has dissipated a little, he can't stand this small stove by his side.
After turning around, he said to Zheng Lingyi: "It's already over, the Huang family has sentenced him to exile, but fortunately, the people of my dynasty are a little more tolerant than the previous dynasty, otherwise, I will be beheaded." ”
"Exile is such a felony, and you still say it's 'lucky'? What's the secret behind this? Wu Zhi's words made Zheng Lingyi even more puzzled.
"Gamble, near thief. Rape, close killing. ”
There were a few tea leaves gathered on the clear tea water, Wu Zhi gently blew them open, took a sip, and said to Zheng Lingyi:
Zheng Lingyi blinked, frowned, and said, "The Huang family has an adulterous affair with someone? Who? If this is the case, then a case should also be ordered, how can it be mixed up in this case? ”
Wu Zhi knew that Zheng Lingyi was smart and would definitely be able to figure it out, so he didn't explain.
Sure enough, Zheng Lingyi quickly had an idea in his heart, but it was a little unbelievable,
"Could it be that the adulterer is Tuesday Lang?"
Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Madam is smart. ”
Even if he said this, he still felt a little untrue, "Sister-in-law, uncle, how can this be?" Zheng Lingyi covered his mouth and said.
"Huang's husband died, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law are no longer alive. If she is an ordinary widowed woman, she will eat fasting and recite Buddha when she is old, or go back to her parents' house to remarry. She has no children, and it is not difficult to remarry, but her mother's family does not ask for the name of Nalaoshzi's chastity, and she wants her to die in the Zhou family. ”
Wu Zhi was cold-faced when handling the case, and he didn't show any emotion, and only then did he sigh in front of Zheng Lingyi at this time.
"I think it's not much different in age between the Huang family and Erlang, at first maybe they just got along with their uncle and sister-in-law, but the loneliness of the house breeds affection, and it can't be stopped."
Zheng Lingyi said, lifting the teapot and pouring tea for Wu Yan and himself.
"That's right," Wu Zhi echoed, "but this kind of affection can't see the light of day, and even has to be covered up from time to time." Tuesday Lang's wife, Miao, was found for him by Huang. ”
"How did you find out about this privacy?" Zheng Lingyi said.
When Wu Zhu was about to explain, Lu Zhu outside the door reminded loudly: "Madam, uncle, it's time to get ready." ”
"yes, you haven't showered and changed yet." Although Zheng Lingyi wanted to know the ins and outs of the case, she couldn't get down to business, she called someone in, and it immediately became lively.
Jiaojiao jumped in next to the threshold, trying to find someone to play, but was disgusted by Lu Nong and rushed out of the door.
Wu punished to take a bath, Zheng Lingyi also began to make up, she was celebrating Teng's birthday, naturally she didn't have to be too luxurious, plus the Mi family's preferences, if it was full of pearls, I am afraid it would make people laugh.
She embroidered a pair of landscapes on her clothes, which is the landscape of Wu Zhi's pen, the distant mountains are green, the flowing water is meandering, only in the corner of the skirt, if it is too much, Zheng Lingyi always feels that there is a suspicion of vassal elegance.
Zheng Lingyi believes that the craftsmanship of the embroidery girl is embroidered by himself, although it is not as fine as the craftsmanship of the embroiderer, but wearing this landscape, isn't it a charm?
Luzhu and Pei'er went to remove Wu Zhi's clothes, and when they pushed open the door of the ear room, they saw that the cigarettes were full of cigarettes in the room, and the light smoke slowly overflowed through the holes in the cover, and there was a feeling of entering a fairyland.
Fen Niang was actually inside, pinching the long hem of her clothes above the incense burner to fumigate.
"Who let you in?" Lu Zhu reprimanded anxiously.
Fen Niang hurriedly let go of her hand and shrank into the corner of the wall to stand, looking like she was about to cry.
"I, I just think my sisters are busy and want to help."
Pei'er was soft-hearted and already sympathized with her.
"Don't be self-righteous here, why do you want to call the shots without orders? Uncle has always disliked the excessive fragrance on his body, and the incense has always been just a thin dip in this room, where is he pulling his clothes to bake like you. Can you be a little self-aware!? If I see that Jin's mother is busy, can I still take charge of her for her? ”
Lu Zhu stripped Fen Niang's disguise in three or two sentences, and Pei'er didn't care about her, only moved the incense burner farther away, and opened the window sash to ventilate.
"Pe'er, you take that head." Green Zhu glanced at Fen Niang and said to Pei'er.
Pell walked over quickly, picked up the other end of the stick, lifted the whole set of clothes directly, and walked away.
Fen Niang didn't dare to look up, and after the two of them went out, she glanced at the place where the hanger had been placed, and touched her face again.
There was still a cold feeling of silk satin on her face, and Fen Niang closed her eyes, thinking that her face was held by those thick palms.
She herself knew that it was delusional, and even a servant was so wary of her, let alone the master above.
Lu Zhu was temporarily cramming at the moment, holding a small iron to sort out a wisp of wrinkles on the hem of his clothes, and whispered to Lu Nong: "I can't smell it." ”
Midori took another deep breath, shook his head, and said, "Unless you bury your face in it and sniff." ”
Unexpectedly, when Wu Zhi put on his clothes, his next action was to raise his sleeves and ask, "The aroma on this sleeve is heavier, if you can't estimate the thickness of the incense in the future, you don't need to smoke it, just have some soaphorn aroma." ”
Lu Nong wanted to open his mouth to take responsibility for Lu Zhu, but Lu Zhu reacted faster and immediately said, "The slave will never let this happen again." ”
Wu Zhu also mentioned it casually, and since Lu Zhu said so, he also nodded.
Zheng Lingyi teased him and said, "Do the new clothes look good?" It's the fabric of my uncle's house. ”
Wu Yan looks good in everything, but he is a little awkward to put away the wide sleeves and said, "It looks good." ”
He used a belt to close the cuffs when he went out on weekdays, and the sleeves of his clothes when he went to Dali Temple were not so wide.
Speaking of which, only those of them who are not diligent and enjoy their achievements will wear these clothes that make people unable to move.
I thought of this, but I couldn't say it.
Today, it is not Wang Dou's turn to drive, just because General Wu is also going together, although it is two carriages, but the people driving are all the old general's subordinates.
Seeing Wu Zhi striding out in a dark gold silk wide-sleeved robe, General Wu put down the curtain instead, and only muttered in his heart: "I really have a little bit of my demeanor back then." ”
"Daddy, give you food on the road." Zheng Lingyi said, stuffing two orange cakes into the curtain of the car.
General Wu took it with a smile and a smile, he is an old man, where would he like to eat these boudoir snacks.
Having said that, when he felt weak on the way, General Wu still ate one, and no one saw it anyway.
When he got out of the carriage, he threw another one to Zhao Huyuan.
Zhao Huyuan thought that General Wu was testing his kung fu, so he threw a stone over, so he pinched it hard, and as a result, his hand was soft and rotten.
"Father-in-law, let's go in first. I'll wait for Chang. Zheng Lingyi had already asked Teng's if he could let his sister come with him, and Teng's would naturally have nothing to do.
"Okay. When she comes, you will let the carriage of the Guogong Mansion go back, and you will send it off when you go back, and it will be late at night, so that people may be worried. ”
Even if General Wu didn't say it, Zheng Lingyi thought so, but General Wu could think of this, which made people even more grateful.
After a while, Zheng Changchang arrived, with a blue hairband and blue clothes, looking clean and delicate.
Although Zheng Changchang was a little cramped in a strange place, when she saw Zheng Lingyi, she was still as happy as a little bird.
Although she has a quiet temperament, Zheng Lingyi is by her side, and she can give birth to a lot of courage out of thin air.
Zheng Lingyi introduced all the ladies and ladies to her one by one, and some sisters of similar age deliberately pushed Zheng Changchang to socialize.
Zheng Changchang knew that Zheng Lingyi had good intentions, and although she was apprehensive, she still did what she said.
And as soon as Wu Yan entered the door, he was targeted by Mi Xiaohui, the cousin of the Mi family, although he was separated by a generation and had no blood relatives, but this cousin was much more pleasing to the eye than those surnamed Qiao.
A baby face, always doesn't look big, Mi Xiaohui is the youngest son in the family, enlightened by Mi Dingwen, but this time he only got the second class of Jinshi, it is not as good as Wu Punishment, a halfway monk, the young man is popular, and he is somewhat dissatisfied in his heart, and he has saved a lot of problems this time, which disturbs Wu Punishment headache.
"Cousin, in fact, this ranking round also has the examiner's own preferences, and if you judge it by another person, your essay may not be as good as your cousin." Zheng Lingyi said to Mi Xiaohui.
Mi Xiaohui smiled, revealing two pointed tiger teeth, looking even more childish. "Cousin-in-law, this is coaxing me."
"Xiaohui, don't be rude." A gentle male voice sounded, and Mi Xiaohui was honest in an instant.
Zheng Lingyi followed the sound and saw a gray-clothed man holding a little boy standing behind the three of them.
The man in gray has a mediocre appearance, only a pair of eyes that shoot cold stars, which makes people feel good.
