"Yes, my sister asked her what she was doing?" Qiao Luo took a few steps back, puzzled.

Zheng Lingyi didn't answer, but continued to ask: "She was originally a maid in the house, or did she buy it from outside in order to serve the fifth brother?" ”

"Naturally, I bought it from outside, how can there be a beautiful maid in our house? The most beautiful is Liyan next to Brother Shi'er. ”

Although Qiao Luo is not the maid by Lu's side, she always knows more about the things in the maid's pile than Zheng Lingyi.

"Sister, have you encountered something?" Lu Nong looked at the hesitation between Zheng Lingyi's eyebrows, and couldn't help but ask.

In fact, Lu Nong didn't say this, and Qiao Luo also faintly noticed the strangeness of Zheng Lingyi.

At this time, Aunt Jiang, who was in the middle, called Qiaoluo and said, maybe she wanted to get rid of it. Qiao Luo was distracted, glanced at Zheng Lingyi in a hurry, and then walked inside.

Zheng Lingyi picked up a pine egg on the plate, knocked it crisply on the table, and then pressed his fingertips against the egg, pushing the egg back and forth on the table, and the sound of the eggshell breaking sounded one after another, which made people inexplicably happy.

"Sister." Seeing that Zheng Lingyi was silent and only cared about peeling eggs, Lu Nong couldn't help but call again.

She is not the kind of person who is curious, but she is worried that Zheng Lingyi will have to carry everything by herself, and she may not be able to bear it.

The egg coat was carefully peeled off, and the dark green egg skin did not tear the nails for half a minute, Zheng Lingyi was thinking about things, but he could still take care of the delicate movements in his hands.

She put the preserved eggs into the marinade on the plate, and suddenly heard Lu Nong say very aggrievedly: "Sister, don't you still believe me?" After all, my deed is still with Madame. ”

Zheng Lingyi looked up at Lu Nong in amazement, and saw that she wiped away the tears on her cheeks with her sleeves, and didn't care if her face was red, it was really sad.

"My sister made Sister Midori cry." Zheng Changchang said on the side, saying that Zheng Lingyi was like a negative man who started to give up.

"You, how can you be so cranky? I didn't think of you that way. Zheng Lingyi said busily.

Although Zheng Lingyi said this, there was a lack of heart in her words.

Although she believes in Lu Nong's character, she is not the kind of ungrateful person who is so-called 'picking up the bowl to eat, putting down the bowl and scolding the mother'.

But compared with Qiao Luo and Lu Nong, Zheng Lingyi felt that Qiao Luo was closer to her.

Lu Nong was very coaxing, Zheng Lingyi just said a word and made her burst into laughter, and all her doubts dissipated.

Seeing her smiling face, Zheng Lingyi felt a little more sorry.

After lunch, Zheng Changchang and Aunt Jiang chatted a few words, then became sleepy and fell asleep.

Seeing that they were properly settled, Qiao Luo put down the curtain and walked outside to talk to Lu Nong.

Zheng Lingyi watched the colored lines between their fingers fly through, and a cool autumn breeze entered the room outside the door, and two or three dead leaves were swept into the wind with the wind.

"The poor always think that autumn comes early." Zheng Lingyi said suddenly.

Lu Nong thought she was worried about the charcoal fire, and said, "We have silver this year, but we are not afraid of freezing." ”

"Even if you have money, you don't dare to be arrogant, what if others find out?" Qiaoluo saw it more far-reaching.

Lu Nong is not stupid, he figured it out a little, thought about it, and said: "Since you can't burn charcoal blatantly, let's prepare a few more hand stoves." The charcoal fire is hidden inside, and it is not so easy for others to find out. ”

There are always more ways to have silver than no silver, Zheng Lingyi smiled slightly, leaned over and picked up a bundle of silk threads, tied them with silk threads of the same color, and put them in the box for preservation.

Autumn is coming, and everyone has to worry about their charcoal fire.

Although Ding Jiaoru, the aunt of Qinghui Pavilion, is loved by Zheng Rongan, she also has to worry about these trivial matters.

The first-class and second-class maids around Wu Rouxiang have already received this month's charcoal, but Ding Jiaoru's charcoal fire has not yet had a shadow.

The current weather is just cold, not cold.

But autumn to winter is just a blink of an eye, should be divided into charcoal fire early, do you have to wait for people's frozen hands and feet to stiffen, willing to give up a pot of charcoal?

Ding Jiaoru didn't dare to complain to Zheng Rongan, and she didn't want to open this mouth.

First, Wu Rouxiang is not stupid.

Whenever Zheng Rong'an rested here with Ding Jiaoru, she always sent someone to burn charcoal early to bake the house just right, but when Zheng Rong'an left the yard, the charcoal basin was immediately withdrawn, and even the embers were not left for Ding Jiaoru.

Second, the charcoal fire in the east and west gardens was only sent to the concubines.

is also an aunt, and the old aunts of Grandpa Guo are still rubbing their daughter's charcoal, how can she Ding Jiaoru open this mouth?

Today's weather is even colder, and the windows and doors in Ding Rujiao's room are closed, for fear that the cool breeze will come in and pour out this last bit of heating.

"It's all this day, and she really doesn't dare to send me charcoal?" Ding Jiaoru wrapped her best satin robe around her body, changed her obedient appearance in front of Zheng Rong'an, and said indignantly.

Her maid was randomly assigned to her by the Lu family from An He Curie, named Cao'er, the most wooden and rarely spoken, and what often hangs on her lips is a sentence, "Auntie, bear with it." ”

Wu Rouxiang and the Lu clan fell behind in several confrontations, and then they got a little bit of allocation, and then they thought of the key point.

How did the Lu family control her aunt, Wu Rouxiang just learned, the ready-made precedent was in front of her, what else did she think about herself?

The previous one said that he was going to cut winter clothes for his aunts and concubines, but Lu Shi said that he was saving money, so he used the old materials in the warehouse to top it, saving a lot of money.

As soon as Wu Rouxiang saw her style, she planned to do the same.

But she is a newly married girl, and her private library is full of new clothes, where is the old material?

She was disgusted with Ding Jiaoru, so she went back to her parents' house to find a batch of them, all of which were unfashionable tricks, and some of them were still smelling musty.

Wu Rouxiang used these clothes to cut a few clothes for the people in the courtyard and Ding Jiaoru, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, no matter how old this material is, it is not something that ordinary people can afford to wear, they are naturally grateful to Dade.

But Ding Jiaoru regarded herself as superior, so she naturally felt unhappy.

Although the material of her winter clothes is not bad, it is either the same material as Cui Tao, or the same style as Cui Ying, and they are all Wu Rouxiang's second-class maids!

This style is clearly to disgust Ding Jiaoru!

Ding Jiaoru whispered softly to Zheng Rong'an, but was inexplicably reprimanded by Zheng Rong'an.

"The vision is low, and it is useless!" Zheng Rongan's reprimand for Ding Jiaoru's words reached Wu Rouxiang's ears, but she was very happy.

After the reprimand, Zheng Rongan also praised Wu Rouxiang rarely, saying that she was thrifty and used the money she saved to increase the public income, and even the Lu family had nothing to say.

Ding Jiaoru knew that she was drilling into Wu Rouxiang's trap, and she only hated herself for being thoughtless, and Wu Rouxiang was cunning and insidious.

"I don't know what acupoints she has opened, but she is much more shrewd." Ding Jiaoru was puzzled, but she had to cheer up to deal with it, and she didn't dare to despise Wu Rouxiang as much as before.

Ding Rujiao is not happy, Wu Rouxiang is naturally refreshed, Zheng Rongan has come to her room more often, as long as she does not make stupid and say the wrong thing, Zheng Rongan and her occasionally talk about their hearts, not to mention that the friendship between husband and wife has grown completely, and it is always much more harmonious.

Winter is getting closer, and Wu Rouxiang is becoming more and more springy.

"Speaking of which, that little girl's eyes are really poisonous, and her mouth is also poisonous, and she got to the point in a few words."

When Zheng Rong'an was sent to the court, the two talked for a while, and now Wu Rouxiang was leaning on the soft pillow, her cheeks were pink, and she was in a good mood.

"She should have planned for Mrs. You, if it wasn't for the time when you helped her in the Buddha Hall, how could her aunt's belly be alive and well until now?" Ei Ori was on the side.

Wu Rouxiang snorted, obviously agreeing with Cui's words.

"But it's really weird, my mother-in-law and husband's temperament are so clear that she can feel them clearly."

Wu Rouxiang thought of those bright eyes, and for some reason, there was a little fear that she hadn't even noticed.

"A concubine is used to seeing people's eyes, how can she not be good at guessing people's hearts?" Cui's tone was full of disdain, which made Wu Rouxiang laugh again.

"I didn't know that my mother-in-law believed in Buddhism like this, and the matter of the Buddha Hall made her so jealous. I see that the fetal appearance of that aunt in Xiyuan is stable, right? She didn't even react at all, didn't she really condone the birth of this child? ”

Wu Rouxiang was refreshed and didn't have any worries, so she was curious about other people's things.

Cuiweaving has never served in front of the Lu family, how do you know her character? can only echo a few sentences.

The two masters and servants were talking in the room, but they saw the shadow of Cui Tao reflected in the door, "Madam, the ninth sister of Dongyuan is here, and she wants to talk to you." ”

Wu Rouxiang was a little puzzled, "Ninth sister? What is she coming to for? ”

Cui Weaving laughed and said, "I must know that Madame, you are going to Gao's house for dinner the day after tomorrow, and you are cheeky to come and beg you to take her with you." ”

Wu Rouxiang suddenly realized, sneered and said with disdain: "She really hates to marry and hate, An Heju is really ruthless, the ninth sister is weak, and she has delayed her for another year, and now she is really an old girl." I don't have to find any way out, just be a practicing sister-in-law in the Buddha Hall, and accumulate blessings for Anheju, it's the best. ”

Wu Rouxiang's words are very mean, but they are all the truth.

Cui Tao was still standing at the door waiting for a reply, and Cui Weaving said, "Send it away." ”

Cui Tao took the order to leave, and saw Zheng Yangyang still standing at the door, his thin body, like a tissue paper kite in the cold wind of late autumn.

Whether it is the Guogong Mansion or the Wu Mansion, the sisters who come out of the concubines are all counted, Cui Tao has long been used to it, and there is no pity, so she only said: "Our wife has something to do, and she can't see her sister in the air." ”

Zheng Yangyang didn't have much hope, but after being rejected, his heart was still as uncomfortable as if he had been poured bitter medicine.

She clutched a jade lock in her hand that she wanted to give to Wu Rouxiang, barely maintained her dignity, and left in the autumn wind.
