Qiao Zhu's change was unexpected by Zheng Ling, she thought that the country was easy to change and her nature was difficult to change, but she didn't expect Qiao Zhu to fall into a disaster, and it became a blessing for everyone in Xiyuan.

But after all, she is a member of the Lu family, and her power is still there.

Zheng Qiuqiu was a little noisy during breakfast, and she glanced at it. Although Zheng Qiuqiu had also seen her embarrassment that day, she was immediately silenced.

Zheng Lingyi still couldn't figure out Zhu's temperament, and wanted to avoid running into her as much as possible.

She didn't have to avoid it, anyway, in the past few days, as long as others don't come to the pavilion, it will be difficult to see her.

Mama Gu has a pantry in the West Garden, and now it has naturally become the place where Qiao Zhu stays the most.

When Midorino and Choro went to ask her for a cup of tea or charcoal, she didn't even say anything, and took it directly from the cupboard and gave it to them.

Lu Nong came late, and he was not impressed by Qiao Zhu's past style, and after getting along with Qiao Zhu for half a month, he couldn't help but secretly ask them, "Is Qiao Zhu's original temperament really so unkind?" ”

"It's not enough." Qiao Luo said with palpitations.

Qiao Luo wanted to say a few more words, but remembering Qiao Zhu's appearance now, she waved her hand again and said, "That's it, no matter how bad she is, she is still at the disposal of the messenger to do things, and now she is not embarrassed by us, what are you doing with those things?" ”

Aunt Jiang was teaching Zheng Changchang to embroider tiger's eyes, and nodded silently when she heard this. Qiao Luo and Aunt Jiang's master and servant are of the same mind, and their thoughts are almost inseparable.

Zheng Changchang's sachet has been embroidered for ten days, and it is good everywhere, only a pair of eyes are not well embroidered, and after thinking and meditating for a long time, I still came to ask Aunt Jiang for guidance.

Aunt Jiang said with some concern: "The fifth brother is a tiger, we can't send expensive gifts, we can only send some that are in line with our hearts, I just hope that Mrs. will not pick on the thorns." ”

Zheng Changchang snorted at the pavilion and said, "The gift that my sister wants to give is even more of a headache." ”

The worry in Aunt Jiang's eyes was even worse, and Lu Nong comforted: "Sister has an idea, look at her appetite these days, she used a plate of crisp cheese for lunch, there should be a way to solve it." ”

Lu Nong's words of comfort took a different path, but they were unexpectedly very convincing, causing everyone to laugh.

The Lu family has already ordered that Zheng Rong'an's birthday banquet this year will be grander, and the concubines will also give gifts to show their brotherly affection.

Zheng Lingyi was bold, saying that the time was urgent, and he had another job in his hand, and asked if he could use the iron chestnut wood carving to offset the gift. Lu Shi really agreed, and asked Lu Nong to breathe a long sigh of relief.

The size of the birthday banquet was pinched in Lu's hands, but on the bright side, Wu Rouxiang's instructions were turned around, as if Wu Rouxiang had taken care of everything, and doing well was the credit of Lu's strategizing, and if she didn't do well, Wu Rouxiang was useless.

She took all the benefits, and the disadvantages were all pushed to Wu Rouxiang, which was really powerful.

Qiao Zhu came to knock on the door yesterday, and it was Qiao Luo who opened the door, and she saw Qiao Zhu take the initiative to come forward, thinking that she was going to make trouble, and she was so frightened that she stammered.

However, Qiao Zhu just came to pass on Lu's words, asking the sisters to dress more delicately, so as not to embarrass her.

Although I have made some money in the past few months, it is too eye-catching if it is used on clothes and jewelry, and it will make people suspicious.

Zheng Lingyi finally fooled the past last time, but he couldn't mess it up again.

"How's this?" Midori took out a pair of small green jade earrings from the box.

The jade is old-fashioned, but the pair of earrings are like the size of soybeans, emerald and dripping, and they look very clever and lovely.

"Well, it's appropriate for Chang Chang to wear it." Aunt Jiang pulled her little daughter in front of her, carefully put it on for her, and looked at it carefully, which matched her goose yellow dress.

"Sister, can you lend this to Mianmian?" Aunt Wan was too familiar with Aunt Jiang, so she opened the small drawer at the bottom of the box and rummaged through the jewelry suitable for Zheng Mianmian.

Aunt Jiang still had a smile on the corner of her mouth, and when her eyes fell on the pink jade rabbit in Aunt Wan's hand, her smile froze.

This jade pendant was secretly given to Zheng Lingyi by Lu Congxin, and the rest were sold, leaving only this pendant.

Seeing that Aunt Jiang's face was a little strange, Aunt Wan looked at the jade pendant again, and didn't think that this was a particularly unusual or extraordinarily valuable jewelry.

"Sister, what's wrong? What's wrong with this jewelry? ”

Hearing Aunt Wan say this, Aunt Jiang didn't know what to say to explain, and she couldn't truthfully explain the origin of this jade pendant, and heard Zheng Mianmian say happily next to her: "Rabbit, Rabbit." ”

Aunt Wan had a hard time riding a tiger, so she had to say: "No, it's not any important jewelry, uh, Chang Chang just wear it." ”

Zheng Changchang is wearing a hibiscus-colored shirt today, otherwise Aunt Wan would not have chosen this jade pendant.

Zheng Lingyi was still studying the etiquette for Zheng Rong'an, and it wasn't until the time when she had to leave that she hurriedly changed her clothes and chose a pair of wisteria earrings and bracelets, and the decorations on her body were neither more nor less.

The wood carving was put into a box by her, and no one could see what the final product looked like.

The outer courtyard is now very lively, and these girls still can't meet the male guests rashly, but the male guests in the world friends are all in the west hall of the outer courtyard, and Zheng Guogong and a few brothers and cousins are also there, so it doesn't hurt to see them.

Several young concubines were led by Zheng Qiuqiu, and were led by Yuezhi to give gifts to Zheng Rongan.

Zheng Lingyi kept his head down, even if the iron chestnut wood was missing most of it, it was still very heavy.

After seeing the Lu family, he walked all the way over with the box, Zheng Lingyi was a little struggling, so he had to grit his teeth and bury his head in walking.

Zheng Qiuqiu turned a corner silently, Zheng Lingyi didn't notice it, and the small water-red embroidered shoes stepped on a leather boot.

She paused, and Zheng Changchang and Zheng Mianmian behind her collided with each other one after another, like a bag of loose taro.

Zheng Guogong laughed, one in one hand, and hugged his two little daughters, which was really a rare scene of family fun.

Zheng Ling raised his head apprehensively and saw a pair of familiar and unfamiliar eyebrows.

It's like, it's like, the eyebrows and eyes that Wu punished thirty years later. Thinking of this, Zheng Lingyi blinked in confusion.

The beautiful eyes of this little girl seem to have been carefully traced with the tip of a pen, and the widening appearance is even more agile and lovely.

Wu Zhao couldn't help but smile and said to Zheng Guogong: "How old is this?" Is it okay to be a daughter-in-law to my family when you grow up? ”

Zheng Guogong laughed again and said, "What? After marrying a girl from your family, you remember to make up for it? It's really a grudge. ”

Zheng Lingyi retracted his feet stupidly, blessed Wu Zhao very shyly, and walked towards Zheng Rong'an.

Everyone's eyes naturally fell on Zheng Lingyi, and so did Lu Congxin, he was finally able to stare at her brightly.

Among the many sights, there was one gaze that made Zheng Lingyi particularly uncomfortable, and that was Wu Yongjun.

asked him to look up and down, he felt disgusting inexplicably, and he couldn't wait to go back to Xiyuan to bathe.

When Zheng Lingyi stepped forward, Zheng Qiuqiu had just finished handing over the gift, and his face seemed to be relieved.

Zheng Rong'an happened to sit in a moment's time, opened the box and took a look, and said, "Thank you, Fourteenth Sister." So he handed the box to his attendants, thinking that the gift was mediocre, and he was not satisfied.

His salty and indifferent style made Zheng Guogong a little dissatisfied, and when it was Zheng Lingyi's turn to come forward to give gifts, he paid special attention to it.

Zheng Ling blessed Zheng Rong'an and said, "I wish my brother a long life......

She deliberately said the wrong thing, which made everyone laugh, and then changed her words in a panic: "I wish my brother a long and happy life." ”

Zheng Rongan also laughed, and when he opened the box, he thought that what he saw would be something like a purse incense wrapper, but he didn't expect it to be a paperweight with a different color.

"This is the waterfront?" Zheng Rong'an looked at the lily in his hand in surprise and felt very amazing.

The rocks on the shore are so lifelike, the waves struggling to hit the waterfront are so vivid and vivid, and the dark wood gives it a sense of 'thousands of miles of rolling tides'.

Zheng Rong'an couldn't believe that this piece of paperweight came from the hand of the sister in front of him, who had no impression of himself.

"Yes." Zheng Lingyi pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled shyly, and said, "The fifth brother has good eyesight, I'm afraid that my skills are not good, and the fifth brother can't see it." ”

Zheng Rong'an picked up the pen mountain with great interest and took a closer look.

The pen mountain is the most ordinary, but it can be carved into a concave character, but I didn't expect Zheng Lingyi to carve it out in the shape of a mountain.

Lu Congxin looked at the shape of the mountain a little familiar, and said uncertainly: "Is this Dongyang Slope?" ”

The boundary where the Zheng Guogong Mansion is located happens to be able to see the gentle top of the Dongyang Slope.

Zheng Lingyi glanced at him at this time, which made Lu Congxin a little nervous.

The dress she went out today was picked out by Zheng Yanxian for her, a jujube red round-neck pleated shirt, embroidered with Fulu Shouxi green pattern dark characters, old-fashioned like the clothes he wore on his 60th birthday.

He didn't want to wear it, but Zheng Yanxian ordered the maid to wash and iron it early, and stared at him to put it on.

I didn't feel anything, but after being glanced at by Zheng Lingyi, Lu Congxin only felt uncomfortable, as if he had written the word 'ugly' on his body.

Zheng Lingyi didn't know that her casual glance made Lu Congxin think so much, she only said, "Yes, cousin has good eyesight." He quickly withdrew his gaze

These two gifts are very much in line with Zheng Rong'an's mind, and if he is picky, he can't help nodding frequently, and said, "Okay." ”

Everyone stepped forward to admire it, although the carving was not superb, but it was indeed a delicate work that took a lot of effort, and Zheng Lingyi was a young girl, everyone was even more surprised.

Zheng Guogong was quite proud, and said to Zheng Lingyi with a pleasant face: "How can you be so concerned about your fifth brother, and you have never had it for your father." ”

Zheng Rongli, who had been silent, snorted very disdainfully, causing Zheng Guogong's face to change, just afraid that he would say something rude in front of so many people.

He really wanted to open his mouth to speak, but Zheng Lingyi's reaction was faster than him, and he said to him shyly and cheerfully: "Thirteenth brother, don't be jealous, the wood given by Mrs. is enough for you and the fifth brother, but the fifth brother is older and it is his birthday, so I did his share first." ”
