Chapter Forty-Eight: The Chess Pieces of the Chrysanthemum Garden

Lu Shi, this person, everything has to try and earn.

Zheng Lingyi also admires her for this.

When she herself became a chess piece on Lu's chessboard, this admiration turned into resentment helplessly.

Yesterday was able to return to Xiyuan safe and sound, Zheng Lingyi already felt strange.

Lu Shi called Zheng Lingyi to come to Anheju alone today, but her heart seemed to have settled on a stone.

"The chrysanthemum garden is owned by Concubine De, she will return to the palace for three days after seven days, and a chrysanthemum party will be held at that time. On that day, I presided over the chrysanthemum viewing party, and the ladies of the noble families in the capital would come. Sister Lu is no exception, when the time comes, you listen to Danzhu's instructions and lead Sister Lu to meet your fifth brother. ”

Zheng Lingyi kept his head down and knelt, raised his head slightly and glanced at the Lu family, and said, "Madam, in this case, if someone bumps into it, will it be bad for the reputation of the fifth brother?" ”

The private meeting between men and women is naturally detrimental to the reputation of the Lu family's sisters.

The Lu family intends to marry the Lu family's sister as a daughter-in-law, how could he do such a self-destructive thing.

Zheng Lingyi was talking about Zheng Rongan's banner, and Lu Shi didn't feel unhappy when he heard it, but explained in a very rare way: "If you want to let people bump into you, then Sister Lu will be your fifth sister-in-law." Afterwards, the rumor was released, saying that the two families had already started to discuss marriage, and even if others had two gossips, they would not be able to hurt your fifth brother's reputation. ”

This meticulous mind really made Zheng Lingyi have to be convinced, she knew that she had been too eye-catching recently, and she was lucky that she didn't let Lu Shi kill it with a finger.

Now that he has made up for Zheng Yangyang's lack and wants to work for the Lu family, Zheng Lingyi doesn't know the blessings and disasters in the future, so he can only take one step at a time.

Seeing that Zheng Lingyi was speechless, Lu Shi frowned and said, "After saying so much, do you understand?" ”

Zheng Lingyi glanced at Danzhu timidly, and said, "Listen to what Sister Danzhu commands, and do what you do at fifteen, right?" ”

Stupidity is a bit stupid, but this stupidity can deceive people.

Lu nodded with satisfaction and asked Zheng Lingyi to go back to Xiyuan.

Seeing that Zheng Lingyi was gone, Dan Zhu half-knelt down and beat Lu Shi's legs, and said, "Why did Madam let the fifteenth sister do this?" Wouldn't it be more secure for the ninth sister to be older? ”

"When you are young, the drama is real." Lu Shi said with great confidence, "I also want Lao Jiu to know that she is in my position, and I can find someone else to replace her at any time." ”

Danzhu covered his lips and smiled, and said, "Recently, the maidservants of Anheju have been very idle, and the errands have been robbed by the ninth sister." ”

"It's most beneficial to do cheap things." Lu Shi smiled very comfortably, and said to Danzhu: "That day, Aunt Hua will stay in the mansion and watch Dongyuan for me. ”

The smile lines on Danzhu's face seemed to have grown in the flesh, and he said to Lu: "Yes, don't worry, madam." ”

When she saw Lu waving her hand, she helped her up and went back to the back room to check the roster of the banquet in a few days.

Concubine De and the Lu family have been close friends since they were boudoirs, and this time Concubine De is willing to use this territory to lay out the Lu family, which should also be angry with each other.

Lu asked Yuegui and Yuezhi to go to the East and West Gardens to spread the word, in addition to Zheng Ling's accident, Zheng Qiuqiu and Zheng Yingying also went together.

Zheng Changchang and Zheng Mianmian are just fine, they are young, and it makes sense not to let them go, but Zheng Yangyang also asked the Lu family to leave it behind, so he had to ask people to think more.

"Twelve too? Aunt Ai's birth date is in these two days. When Aunt Jiang and Aunt Wan were gossiping in the room, they couldn't get around this matter.

Zheng Lingyi was quietly reading to Zheng Changchang, and Lu Nong was sewing some sundries on the side, and there were also people who didn't have a match.

A little maid came to An Heju, put down a set of matching clothes and jewelry and left.

Aunt Jiang called Lu Nong out and asked her to take things in and give them to Zheng Lingyi to try.

Aunt Wan was puzzled: "Madam, is this a change of character?" not only asked my sister to go, but also gave my sister new clothes. Do you feel guilty that you did too much last time? ”

Aunt Wan said, glanced at Aunt Jiang, and the two laughed mockingly, and felt that this idea was too ridiculous.

Aunt Jiang's smile gradually converged and disappeared, and she glanced at the side pavilion, with some vague worry in her eyes.

The set of clothes sent to Zheng Lingyi is a set of clothes that Zheng Yanxian looked down on a few years ago.

Zheng Yanxian has never worn it, so it can be regarded as new clothes.

Zheng Lingyi was worried about this matter, and he didn't want to try on new clothes, so he asked Lu Nong to try it out after half coaxing and half persuading.

"The needlework is exquisite, but I always feel that it hides a little bit of my sister's color." Midori said very honestly.

The bright colored large-sleeved blouse and the apricot-red long skirt are clothes for bright-looking girls at a glance.

Zheng Lingyi took off her dress and said, "The clothes for the sixth sister have never been suitable for me. ”

Although her appearance is charming, there is always a hint of hazy clarity between her eyebrows, and she should wear some narrow-sleeved and light dresses.

originally thought that the Lu family just didn't want to spend money on Zheng Lingyi to make new clothes, but on that day, when Lu Nong saw the dress on Zheng Yanxian with a similar color but a different standard, he realized in his heart that Zheng Lingyi still had the task of making green leaves to set off safflower today.

Among the concubines, only Zheng Lingyi got the new clothes rewarded by the Lu family, Zheng Qiuqiu and Zheng Yingying didn't look at whether the clothes were lined or not, they only felt that Zheng Lingyi was now in front of the Lu family, and the benefits continued.

Zheng Qiuqiu was okay, she saw Qiaoluo's tragic situation that day, and she still felt a relative, but she just glanced at Zheng Lingyi up and down.

Zheng Yingying gritted her teeth with jealousy, and hated to pull the pair of topaz earrings given by the Lu family from Zheng Lingyi's earlobe.

The three concubines were crowded in the same carriage again, and Zheng Yingying's cynicism, Zheng Lingyi could only bear it.

Zheng Qiuqiu couldn't listen to it anymore, and covered his ears and said to Zheng Yangyang: "Why are you so verbose, noisy to death." ”

I don't know if it was scared that day, the anger in Zheng Qiuqiu's body disappeared a little, and he didn't have acne much, but the acne scars were still there, but after applying powder, he couldn't see anything.

Zheng Yingying saw that Zheng Qiuqiu was not standing in the same boat with her, and couldn't help but provoke: "She is used to flattering people like her, the fourteenth sister should be careful, lest you have anything to hinder her in the future, she stabbed her in the back, but she couldn't prevent it." ”

Zheng Qiuqiu rolled her eyes disdainfully and said, "She? Save it. ”

"She can even be confused by the county lord, not to mention that we people are definitely not her opponents!" Zheng Yingying glared at Zheng Lingyi who was leaning in the corner viciously and said.

The grievances between Aunt Jiang and Aunt Ai were originally provoked by the Lu family.

Zheng Yingying didn't dare to sprinkle fire on the Lu family, so she could only blindly resent Zheng Lingyi and the Jiang family, which was really naΓ―ve and cowardly.

Zheng Qiuqiu glanced at Zheng Yingying amusedly, and said, "The twelfth sister said that the county bishop raised the fifteenth sister's own brother, and the fifteenth sister deliberately planned it?" Maybe you look down on her too much, right? ”

Zheng Lingyi still looked timid, and didn't dare to argue with Zheng Yingying for a word.

Zheng Yingying hated her fake and weak appearance the most, so she pulled the sachet on the carriage and threw it over.

Zheng Lingyi's sachet smashed out of the corner of her eye, and the sachet rolled down on her lap, revealing a dilapidated corner, and a few incense bait pills fell out of the hole, dripping and spinning on the ground.

Because it was the carriage that the maid rode in, the people didn't pay much attention to it, and the aroma of this sachet had long since evaporated.

"Aunt Ai is about to give birth, why doesn't the twelfth sister accompany her in Dongyuan?" Zheng Lingyi was not angry, but just casually lifted the corner of the curtain and threw the broken sachet out.

"My aunt is not the first child again. Besides, my aunt has always kept to herself, and she will never be like you and the Jiang family, who have many thieves! Madame will send someone to take care of her! Zheng Yingying deliberately straightened her waist when she spoke, but it seemed that she was a little lacking in confidence.

Zheng Lingyi looked at her directly and said flatly, "Really? ”

Zheng Yingying frowned and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

Zheng Lingyi shook his head again and said, "Sister doesn't have anything to say, just ask." ”

She lowered her head again, and looked intently at the delicate cloud pattern on her skirt.

Zheng Qiuqiu asked with some curiosity: "You won the reward from your wife, is it because of the Lu family's sister?" ”

Zheng Lingyi's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Zheng Qiuqiu with some surprise.

Zheng Qiuqiu was a little proud, and said: "My aunt often walks in front of her wife, and the news is always better-informed. ”

Zheng Yingying was confused, and said to Zheng Qiuqiu: "What Miss Lu, what is going on?" ”

"Miss Lu is the daughter-in-law that Madame looks down on. Hey, I told you that you don't understand, so you know what to do. "As soon as Zheng Qiuqiu gets proud, he will always lose his sense of proportion, and he will offend people in just a few words.

Zheng Yingying couldn't see one more person, and when she was about to say something to Zheng Qiuqiu, she heard Zheng Lingyi's deliberately lowered voice sound.

"So, the two sisters still avoid me today, so as not to cause trouble."

Zheng Qiuqiu covered her mouth and said softly: "What are you going to do?" ”

Zheng Lingyi shook his head and said in embarrassment: "It's good that my sisters still don't know." ”

Zheng Qiuqiu pursed his lips, a little disdainful, but he didn't continue to ask.

Zheng Yingying strained her face and frowned tightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

None of the maids of the concubines came today, and the Lu family was afraid that the concubines would show their cowardice in front of people, so they specially asked Yuegui to come and watch the three of them.

Lu Shi arrived at Concubine De's chrysanthemum garden as early as two hours ago, greeted the guests, and was thoughtful everywhere, so warm.

Today, the county lord is also there, Zheng Lingyi gestured to him with his eyes, and then avoided it.

As soon as he saw Zheng Yanxian and Zheng Yanru, Lu raised a sincere and loving smile, beckoned them to come over, and introduced them to the guests who knew each other or not.

If Zheng Yanxian is quiet, she still looks quite coaxing, and several ladies took her hand and asked her age.

She smiled shyly and said in a voice, "Madam, I'm still young." ”

This behavior really doesn't look like her, and I don't know how many benefits Lu Shi promised her and told her to pretend to be like this.

"Still young? It's only a year old from my family's Xiang'er, right? The Qiao family of the Wu family also came over with Wu Rouxiang.

Zheng Lingyi glanced at her seemingly casually, I don't know if it was because of Wu Punishment, I always felt that even if this woman was covered in Huacui, she could block a roe deer and a mouse's obscene and flattering appearance.

If Zheng Lingyi thinks about it carefully, he will probably know that his perception of Qiao's is not wrong.

If the husband wins face in the court, the woman who is full of confidence in her family always chooses a few pieces of heavy jewelry to decorate one or two, where will it be full of pressure and neck pain?

General Wu is almost 50 years old this year, and he seems to be a transparent person in the DPRK. Qiao's heart was not confident, so he made a fuss about this jewelry.
