"Calling people boys, as if they are how old they are." Jasson muttered quietly.

Qiao Luo is a little strange, although Gan Song is a few years older than Wu Punishment, and usually takes care of him like a brother, but in fact, Qiao Luo always feels that Gan Song seems to be a little afraid of Wu Punishment, maybe it is more appropriate to use the word respect to describe it?

I don't know how these two people met, and how they got together in this alley.

Qiao Luo was curious, but he didn't dare to ask.

Wu Zhi was now only wearing a dark cloth robe, and in this old room, he leaned back on a maple chair and ate pastries.

This chair was bought by Gansong from the old goods market for fifteen yuan, and it is the newest item in this house.

It's just that he always has a kind of relaxed temperament when he gestures, and even if he is humiliated, he will not lose a penny.

That made Qiao Luo involuntarily think of Zheng Lingyi, I don't know why.

Qiao Luo didn't want to sit and wait for Zhang Qishi to come back, so he simply went to the kitchen to steam a pot of broad bean rice and make dinner for the three of them.

When Zhang Qishi came back with an empty plate, Qiao Luo also happened to extinguish the firewood, leaving a little ember to warm his meal.

"What do you know?" Qiao Luo hurriedly asked, it was a little darker outside, and she had to go back.

Zhang Qishi was covered with the strange smell of incense, and Gan Song couldn't help but sneeze fiercely.

"That sister-in-law went to Mrs. Cai in the West Lane." Zhang Qishi poured saliva, moistened his throat, and continued: "I heard Mrs. Cai say that that sister-in-law is a very generous person, and she used a silver ingot, just to buy a piece of news. ”

"What's the news?" Qiao Luo hurriedly asked.

"I said that I was asking if there was anything special about the fox fairy temple in Dongyangpo." Zhang Qishi didn't know much about these gods and ghosts, so he just recounted them truthfully.

"Fox Immortal Temple? It's not enough to bring enough sesame oil money, what else can you pay attention to? Gansong also said very puzzled.

Wu Punishment sat silently on the side, with a thoughtful look on his gloomy and handsome face.

Zhang Qishi continued: "The goddess said that most people think that it is enough to take a chicken to the Fox Immortal Temple, but if you want to make a wish that will be fulfilled, you need the blood of the fingertips of a beautiful girl who is more than ten years old to worship. ”

"The fox immortals in Dongyangpo are becoming more and more greedy now, and they have to fill a wine cup." Wu Zhi suddenly spoke.

No one knew how Wu Zhi knew about these things, but Gan Song looked accustomed to it and didn't ask.

Zhang Qishi was young, and his temperament was cheerful, and he only felt weird and interesting when he heard these bad things, and a pair of bull's eyes the size of copper bells were round, as if they could drive away all the gloom.

Qiao Luo seemed to be a little chilled, and involuntarily hugged his arm, and said, "What did you say about Aunt Hua's request?" ”

"I only said that I asked for reconciliation between husband and wife, but I didn't say which couple I asked for."

Zhang Qishi finished talking about the news he had inquired about, wrinkled his nose and sniffed it, jumped up and down with joy, and shouted loudly: "Broad bean rice?!" So he went to the back kitchen.

Choro was amused by his words, but the smile quickly dissipated.

"I'll go back first, there's something wrong with this."

Although I don't know the whole picture of the matter now, when I think about it, I know that this is not a good thing, and it may be planted on Zheng Lingyi's head, Qiao Luo is very worried.

Gan Song sent Qiaoluo all the way out of Ziyu Alley, and when he saw her hurried appearance, he also knew how anxious she was.

He slowly returned to his small room, and saw Zhang Qishi and Wu Punishment eating broad bean rice with a big heart.

Zhang Qishi also served him a bowl, but Gansong had no appetite, and used chopsticks to pick up a few grains of rice, and wondered: "What is Miss Qiaoluo so worried about?" Even if the Duchess of the Republic of China wants to choose a girl to worship the blood of the fingertips, how can she choose the blood of the Duchess of the Kingdom. ”

Wu Yan chewed the oily and fragrant broad bean rice, glanced at the sweet pine, and said a long list of rare words.

"It's easy to control, it's the right age, and it needs to be beautiful. This kind of girl is not everywhere on the street. Duchess Guo is even more difficult to deal with than my mother-in-law, do you know that the only surviving concubine of Grandpa Guo is now raised in his sister's mansion. ”

When Zhang Qiaoniang occasionally went out of the house to visit Zhang Qishi, she also said some things in the house in bits and pieces.

It's just that he was punished by Wu like this, and he felt even more shocked.

Gan Song has a compassionate and bitter face, he is always like this, he can't listen to other people's difficulties, and when he hears it, he will empathize, otherwise he will not re-pay all the money he earns for medicine to the poor to see a doctor.

Zhang Qishi's mouth was full of oil, and the corners of his mouth were still sticky with rice grains, he patted Gansong's shoulder and said, "Let's eat." It hasn't happened yet, so why should you worry so early? ”

Recently, Gansong has more money in his hand, and he can afford to buy meat oil for stir-frying.

Qiaoluo's bowl of broad bean rice is fried in lard, the rice grains are all oily and moist, and it smells extremely fragrant, Zhang Qishi is already eating the second bowl.

Not counting Wu Punishment, who disappears from time to time, Gan Song and Zhang Qishi's previous monthly expenses on food are indeed too small.

Zhang Qishi once got up in the middle of the night to steal the hawthorn pills of Jatamansong to eat, but the more he ate, the more hungry he became, and he shouted bitterly to Gansong to get up and cook for him.

Although it can't be called surplus now, it won't make Zhang Qishi starve.

Seeing him feasting, Gansong also regained some appetite and finished the broad bean rice in a few bites.

When he packed up the dishes and chopsticks to wash, there was rain outside the eaves, and Gansong regarded the medicine as his life, and suddenly screamed strangely, and almost fell off the dishes and chopsticks.

His mind was on Qiao Luo again, so he couldn't tell for a moment whether it was rain clouds or the sky was about to get dark.

Gan Song and Zhang Qishi rushed out to clean up the medicinal herbs in the courtyard, and even Wu Punishment, who had always stood by and watched, reached out and took a dustpan with psyllium drying.

"I don't know if Miss Luo has arrived in the house." Gansong wiped the rain from his face with his sleeve and said worriedly.

As soon as Qiaoluo's front foot stepped into the house, it rained on his back foot. She was an hour later than usual, and Luo He was worried that she had missed the time to lock the door, and she was so worried.

Qiao Luo was worried about things, so he casually said an excuse and hurriedly walked towards Xiyuan.

Zheng Lingyi and the others had just finished dinner, and Lu Nong and Aunt Jiang were cleaning up the table.

Zheng Changchang and Zheng Lingyi were next to each other at the desk, looking at the butterfly in Zheng Lingyi's hand.

"Qiaoluo, are you back? Why did you come back so late today? Aunt Jiang put the dishes and chopsticks in the food box and looked at Qiaoluo at the door with a smile.

Seeing that Qiaoluo's face was not very good, she showed a puzzled look, dragged Qiaoluo to the table and sat down, and poured Qiaoluo another cup of hot tea.

Lu Nong was about to return the dishes and chopsticks, so he glanced at Qiao Luo with concern and went out first.

Zheng Lingyi and Zheng Changchang also walked out of the side pavilion according to the sound, Qiao Luo turned around and glanced at Zheng Lingyi, there was a light flickering in his eyes, I don't know if it was the reflection of the candle flame, or the anxiety of being overwhelmed.

Qiao Luo stretched out his hand to her, and said in a dumb voice, "Sister, come to my side." ”

Zheng Lingyi walked over and asked Qiaoluo to half-hug him.

After listening to what she said today, Aunt Jiang's eyes gradually became solemn, and she frowned and said: "The sixth sister stayed in the mansion for a day yesterday, and today the lady personally sent it back to the Lu Mansion, and I don't know if the lady wants to worship the fox fairy, whether it is for the marriage between the sixth sister and the uncle." ”

Zheng Lingyi was still very calm, seeing that Zheng Changchang's lips were peeling, he picked up the teacup and fed her two sips, and said: "Madame doesn't believe in ghosts and gods on weekdays, maybe it's just a false alarm." ”

The misty rain unconsciously has some traces of hustle and bustle, hitting the bluestone slab brick floor bit by bit, which is comfortable like massaging people's ears.

Zheng Lingyi wasn't thinking about the Fox Immortal Temple, but he was just glad that Lu Nong had brought an umbrella with him, otherwise he would have to worry for a while.

After washing up as usual, she told Zheng Changchang the story of two mountain spirits, and fell asleep.

Zheng Changchang closed her eyes and was sleepy, and after a while, she slowly moved towards Zheng Lingyi, hugged her body, and said, "Sister, aren't you worried that Madame will hit you with her idea?" ”

Zheng Lingyi laughed very gently, turned over in the dark, rubbed Zheng Changchang's little face, and said, "My sister's appearance is also good, aren't you afraid that Mrs. will take a fancy to you?" ”

Zheng Changchang snorted like a kitten, I don't know if it's a little proud.

After the sisters said this, their hearts somehow calmed down, and they soon fell asleep cuddled together.

In the next few days, there was no movement in An Heju, and Qiao Luo thought it was a false alarm and was greatly comforted.

When she sat with Midori under the porch to sort out the silk thread, the wind was already a little hot.

Lu Nong has always been a little afraid of heat, so she changed into a thin summer coat early, but she still sweats more than others, and her hair sticks to her neck, which makes her always feel a little itchy.

She was about to pick up the teapot at her feet and pour herself a cup of tea to quench her thirst, but found that the teapot was empty.

"My sister went to the fifth brother to deliver something, why didn't she come back?" Midorino asked worriedly.

Since Zheng Rong'an received the gift from Zheng Lingyi, he has been placed in the study of the outer courtyard.

A colleague came to his study to discuss matters before, and he liked the paperweight when he saw it, but after all, this was from the hands of the ladies in the inner court, and others did not dare to ask for it rashly, they just wanted a pattern.

Zheng Lingyi quickly drew the pattern, and when he was about to send it to Zheng Rongan, he was called by Lu Shi in the middle of the road, saying that Lu Shi wanted to look at it first.

Zheng Lingyi felt strange at that time, just a picture, the Lu family is suspicious, and it will not be like this.

Thinking that Zheng Yanxian came back the day before yesterday, Zheng Lingyi sighed in his heart and felt bad.

She turned her head and said to Zheng Changchang, who came with her: "Changchang, you go back to Xiyuan first." ”

Zheng Lingyi blinked his left eye quickly, Zheng Changchang saw it clearly, took a step back timidly, and nodded.

Yuezhi glanced at Zheng Lingyi and walked in front of her, and Zheng Lingyi consciously followed.

At this hour, the sun illuminates the entire corridor, but in some places, there is still a thick shade of plants falling.

Yuezhi's complexion is not white, so he deliberately hides from the sun.

Zheng Lingyi walked staggered in the shadows and sunlight, thinking about countermeasures in her heart, only to feel that there were too many things that she couldn't control, and her mood was flickering.
