Lu Mobai took two steps back, staggered Zheng Lingyi a few steps with him, and almost fell. Fortunately, Lu Mobai helped her and didn't let Zheng Lingyi fall to the ground.

The lady who came to enjoy the flowers was also the wife of a five-grade official, and she spoke softly, Zheng Lingyi only heard it, and Wu Rouxiang and Zheng Rong'an were far away, so they naturally couldn't hear it.

Lu Mobai glanced at Zheng Lingyi at a loss, and said, "Sister, what should I do next?" ”

"Let's watch the show." Zheng Lingyi grabbed Lu Mobai's hand and said, "I have always been by your sister's side, and your reputation is naturally fine." ”

Zheng Lingyi's hand was thin and soft, like pinching a cotton cloud.

This is very similar to the impression she left on Lu Mobai at the beginning, weak, humble, and submissive.

But at the time of the incense just now, Lu Mobai's opinion of her was completely different.

This is a white cloud with muscles and bones, and it does not disperse as soon as the wind blows.

Behind the shadow wall, the female family's voice came to an abrupt end, "Xiang'er? Qiao's surprised voice rang out.

Zheng Lingyi smiled slightly, led Lu Mobai out, and said lightly: "It's time to start the gong." ”

Lu Shi looked at ten zhang away in shock, Zheng Rong'an and Wu Rouxiang were together, although both of them were well-dressed, but their movements were ambiguous and reverie.

Zheng Rong'an was half-squatting, holding Wu Rouxiang's feet in his hands. Wu Rouxiang's face was full of shyness, and when she saw these many people coming, she retracted her feet in a panic.

This behavior makes people even more sure that the two are selfish.

Zheng Rong'an had never experienced so many ladies staring at him dumbfounded, so he quickly stood up and explained, "Mrs. Wu, Sister Wu sprained her foot, I'll help her take a look." ”

"Brother, you're not a doctor, what are you looking at?" I don't know who it is among the female dependents, so she sneered lightly.

Lu Shi's face was a little unbearable, and he forced a smile, wanting to say something, but he heard Mrs. Chen's wife say: "Brother Lu, this is Xiju Garden, you are a man, how can you come here?" ”

Mrs. Chen Fu was not interested in appreciating chrysanthemums, and walked most of the way to appreciate this chrysanthemum, but she had to come because she was coerced by the flow of people.

Now that she saw this good show, Mrs. Chen didn't know what Lu's idea was, but she felt that it was very unsightly, so she said something.

Zheng Rong'an was secretly summoned by Danzhu, so naturally he couldn't answer, but he reacted quite quickly, and hurriedly pointed to a small door behind him, and said, "I was drunk just now, and I wanted to dissipate the wine, so I didn't pay attention and went the wrong way." ”

This excuse was barely reasonable, and Mrs. Chen was not aggressive, so she didn't ask again.

Zheng Lingyi and Lu Mobai walked over hesitantly, she looked at Wu Rouxiang in surprise, and then looked at Lu Shi in horror.

Lu Mobai was full of confusion, Mrs. Lu saw Lu Mobai, saw her standing on the side of the pair of people with poor personal morality, and hurriedly said, "Why are you there?" ”

Lu Mobai led Zheng Lingyi towards the room and explained, "Mother, my sister and I came to appreciate Moju. ”

She glanced at Wu Rouxiang and Zheng Rong'an with some strange eyes, then at Qiao's and Lu's, and said softly: "But when I saw that the Wu family's sister and the Zheng family's son were here, I didn't know what was going on, so I didn't come forward to say hello." ”

Lu Mobai's voice was neither high nor low, but it made everyone hear it clearly.

Mrs. Lu pulled Lu Mobai to her side and said in a low voice: "Don't pay attention to the gossip of others, let's go first." ”

Lu Mobai asked Mrs. Lu to pull her away, she glanced at Zheng Lingyi with some concern, and saw her standing beside Lu, her hands tightly grasping her apricot red dress, and her fingertips lost all their blood color because of the force, white and transparent.

Lu Mobai's words, Lu Shi heard word for word.

Zheng Lingyi is not without doing things, Lu Mobai is clearly close at hand, and he can get it at his fingertips. It's hateful that Wu Rouxiang, a cheap billet, stuck a bar sideways and stirred up this matter.

Lu Shi didn't believe that this was a coincidence, but now was not the time to settle accounts, she forced a laugh, and motioned for Danzhu to step forward to help Wu Rouxiang, and she said loudly: "I will ask the doctor to take a look for your Wu sister-in-law, you go back to Dongju Garden, your father in the province can't find you, so you have to worry." ”

The four words of the Wu family's sister sounded not far or close, Qiao swallowed nervously, if he couldn't ask the Lu family to admit this matter, Wu Rouxiang's reputation would be damaged, and it would be even more difficult to marry a good family.

How could Wu Rouxiang not think of such a simple thing, she pretended to stand up from the stone pier with difficulty, and said to Zheng Rong'an pitifully: "Thank you, Brother Zheng." ”

Brother Zheng is much more ambiguous than Brother Zheng, and Lu's face trembled, but he was still tense.

Cuilong, who was originally following Wu Rouxiang's side, didn't know what happened to Qiao's side, and she hurried to help.

Although Danzhu was angry in his heart, he couldn't do anything in front of everyone, so he steadily supported Wu Rouxiang and took her away from Zheng Rongan's side.

Zheng Rongan clenched his fists and turned to leave.

The Lu family wanted to keep this matter in their own hands before, so the ladies who came to appreciate the chrysanthemums were carefully selected.

Don't be too talkative, don't be too lonely, and the rest of these are either friends with the Lu family in Su Ri, or people like Mrs. Chen who don't like to gossip, and the county lord.

Fortunately, this thing will not ferment too much.

Lu Shi turned around and said to everyone: "The two children are good, but the son of my family is worried about the injury of the sister of the Wu family for a while, and he is a little rude, and I hope that the ladies Haihan." ”

Before everyone could say anything, they heard Qiao's say: "It's okay, it's okay, our two families are families, and the children have known each other since they were young, so let's not talk about these fictitious things." ”

When everyone saw this, they were already a little embarrassed, and they all looked for an excuse to leave.

Lu Shi opened his mouth to keep people, and his loud explanation added to the suspicion.

The county lord stayed, let out a meaningful 'oh', and said lightly to the Lu family: "Brother and sister, why didn't you talk to me earlier, if you have a candidate, why do you ask me to plan for you?" ”

"County Lord, isn't it......

The Lu family was really speechless, and when they saw Qiao's mother and daughter standing aside, there seemed to be a look of pride on their faces, and they were even more annoyed.

This anger couldn't be released, and she was about to lose her breath.

At the next banquet, they were all careless, with a smirk on their faces, thinking about how to round the field for Zheng Rong'an, and they didn't have time to pay attention to Zheng Lingyi.

When Zheng Lingyi returned to the tea banquet in the chrysanthemum garden, he saw Zheng Yanru and Lu Mobai sitting together, Lu Mobai nodded at Zheng Lingyi, and saw Zheng Yanru glancing at Wu Rouxiang, and there seemed to be disgust in her eyes.

Zheng Lingyi guessed that Lu Mobai told Zheng Yanru about Wu Rouxiang and Zheng Rongan.

Cuilong was not by Qiao's side, and I don't know what to do.

Zheng Lingyi inexplicably had an intuition that this matter would finally follow Wu Rouxiang's wishes.

Lu's mind was not in this chrysanthemum garden, the second half of the banquet was cold and indifferent, and in the end, when Concubine De Niangniang came out, everyone was a little lively, and after she left, they all quieted down.

On the way home, Zheng Lingyi was summoned by the Lu family to her carriage, and she knew that she had to fight with twelve points of spirit.

There were Zheng Yanru and Zheng Yanxian in this carriage, as well as Danzhu.

Zheng Lingyi walked around and sat timidly beside Danzhu.

"How could Wu Rouxiang go to that ink chrysanthemum bush?" Lu Shi was persuaded by Zheng Yanru to be in a better mood.

Zheng Lingyi first glanced at Danzhu, then looked at Lu, and said lightly: "Madam, I don't know." I only knew that I was going to take Sister Lu there, but I didn't know why Sister Wu was there. ”

Lu Shi followed her gaze and looked at Danzhu, Danzhu thought for a while, and said, "Madam, could it be that Sister Wu heard that we wanted to marry the Lu family, so she secretly followed Sister Lu to calculate our brother?" ”

"Why did she rush to the front when she was following behind?" Lu asked suspiciously.

Zheng Lingyi said very calmly: "When I was about to arrive at the Moju Cong, Sister Lu saw a clump of fairy lingzhi, she wanted to enjoy it, but I couldn't stop it too obviously, so I was late for a while." When I arrived at Mo Jucong, I saw the fifth brother......

For the rest of the rest, don't say it.

Zheng Yanru had already heard Lu Mobai say it once, so she said a few words.

"Cheap billet!" Lu Shi hated and hated, and it seemed that he believed it.

"At the end of the day, it's not that you're useless." Zheng Yanxian glanced at Zheng Lingyi mockingly and sneered.

Zheng Lingyi trembled and did not speak.

Zheng Yanru pursed her lips, Lu Mobai is her friend, and she naturally likes to be her younger sister.

But this method is so unacceptable, Zheng Yanru feels embarrassed.

But in order not to annoy the Lu family, she still said tactfully: "Mother, my sister did her best." This may be, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind, right? ”

Lu Shi frowned, and seemed to have a headache.

I thought that this matter would end here today, but I didn't expect that the Lu family would return to Anheju, and was waiting for Zheng Guogong to bathe, listening to him talk about how outstanding the son of the world Shen Baiyan was.

Lu Shi responded casually, without listening carefully, but listened to Zheng Guogong's tone and talked about Zheng Rongan.

"Rong An's marriage, how did you fall in love with the Wu family? And don't say a word to me. Zheng Guogong wet the handkerchief and rubbed some soap on his neck.

Lu Shi was very surprised, and for a moment he fell unsteadily and threw the whole basin of rolling stones into the bathtub, and the whole bathtub made a loud noise.

Zheng Guogong was burned half to death, crawled out of the bathtub in embarrassment, and said, "Nonsense, what are you doing!" ”

Lu Shi took a handkerchief and wiped it for Zheng Guogong indiscriminately, and said hurriedly: "Who said nonsense!" Rong An is the eldest son, how can I look down on the Wu family!? ”

"I listened to a few words from General Wu, and it seemed that I heard from his wife's maidservant. said that Rong An helped Sister Wu rub her feet today, so that many people saw it. Because the two families were originally intended, others didn't say anything. ”

Zheng Guogong didn't know much about the inside story, and when he saw that Lu's face was difficult to see, he said, "What? Nothing like that? ”

Lu Shi didn't know how to explain it, so he hurriedly turned around and said, "There is such a thing, but it's not what Grandpa Guo thinks." That sister of the Wu family, I really don't like it! ”

"What can I look down on, General Wu asked me personally, and the prince listened to it on the side. How can it be changed now? ”

Zheng Guogong and General Wu are the same group of senior ministers, General Wu still had the grace of Zheng Guogong back then, although the two did not have much contact in private, but the friendship in the early years was very good, and it is still so.

Seeing that his husband was not on his side, Lu Shi was really anxious, and said angrily: "What does Grandpa Guo mean by this?" Do you have to force our son to marry the Wu family's sister? The Wu family? How long ago was the old yellow calendar! What are the benefits of marrying his daughter? ”
