Chapter 225: Unmasked
The medicinal diet is still sent to General Wu every day, and after some time, General Wu's gray hair did not continue to continue, and even the doctor said that Zheng Lingyi was fine, and he changed the method to make medicinal food, so as not to make people tired.
Whether it is medicine or food, what I am afraid of is three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. Once it makes people feel that it is tasteless, it is difficult to eat.
Today is Zheng Rong'an's birthday, Zheng Guogong sent a message, telling his sisters and sisters to go back to Zheng's house, so Zheng Lingyi asked Lu Nong to stay and guard the medicinal food, and then send it to him when the heat is enough.
Zheng Rong'an's birthday gift, Zheng Lingyi will not spend much effort in it, open the treasury and get a decent one, is it difficult to carve things for him as hard as before, and the fingers of the carving hurt?
Zheng Lingyi doesn't have to live such a day.
Zheng Changchang told Zheng Lingyi early that what she prepared was still embroidery, although it was not expensive, and there was nothing to blame.
Wu Zhu never returned to Wu's house yesterday, and he couldn't even see a figure today, so how could he go to Zheng's house to congratulate his brother-in-law on his birthday? There is only one more gift, and as for the one who wants to be ridiculed with this broken mouth, let him go.
The sisters who married outside have really come back, Zheng Lingyi is neither early nor late, Zheng Yingying, Zheng Yanxian, and Zheng Qiuqiu have all returned.
Zheng Yanxian became a lot more silent, and only glanced at Zheng Lingyi with a calm face, without even a 'hum'.
Zheng Qiuqiu did not blindly stick to Zheng Yanxian's side, but sat with Zheng Changchang.
When Zheng Changchang saw Zheng Lingyi, she seemed to be relieved, and she breathed a sigh of relief, as if she wanted to step forward and say something important to her.
Zheng Lingyi was about to walk over, but saw Zheng Yingying coming up, and saw that as soon as Zheng Lingyi entered the door, there were only maids around him and not Wu Zhi, so he deliberately said: "Did your husband not come today or was he late?" ”
"The official duties are heavy, and you can't get out, and I've already told my father in advance."
Zheng Lingyi said as he walked towards Zheng Changchang's side, Zheng Yingying followed closely, and said: "All the trivial things in Dali Temple are really hard. It's still the luck of my family, and it's easy to be idle, but when I come back every day, I smell of books and ink. ”
Zheng Lingyi glanced at Zheng Changchang, and said with a smile: "The twelfth sister is a good housekeeper, and my brother-in-law is naturally relieved to be that idle person." ”
The errands of the Hanlin Academy are idle, the monthly money is not much, and the Xu family's family background is average, even if Zheng Yingying's life is not poor, she will not be able to go anywhere.
Every time Zheng Yingying fights with Zheng Lingyi, she can't get a good time, she hasn't seen her for a long time and has forgotten about it, and today can be regarded as a reminder for her.
Zheng Yingying is indeed tight-haired, and today's congratulatory gift is also full of effort to make a share, and she couldn't help but blush when she heard the words, but she quickly smiled and said: "Also, there is a son in the family who asks him to be concerned, and he wants to see him when he comes back every day." ”
Zheng Yingying became pregnant soon after she got married, and it was indeed good luck to get a man.
Zheng Chuchu still wanted to have fun, but he didn't move when he heard the words.
Zheng Lingyi knew what Zheng Yingying wanted to ridicule, so she simply smiled and said: "Cheng, I won one round on my lips, and you also won one round on my lips, so it can be regarded as a flat." ”
After that, Zheng Lingyi turned sideways and brushed past Zheng Yingying, unwilling to say anything more to her.
Zheng Qiuqiu sat at the round table and had no intention of leaving, so Zheng Changchang got up and walked towards Zheng Lingyi.
The sisters walked to the corner of the cloister, their skirts blown by the breeze, just like the restless hearts of the maiden.
"Sister, the one from the Bai family, that person also came to attend the fifth brother's birthday today."
No wonder Zheng Changchang couldn't wait to talk to Zheng Lingyi, it turned out to be because of this.
Zheng Lingyi's face turned cold, and he comforted the sister and said, "It's okay, act when you have the opportunity." "I have torn Lu's disgusting face countless times in my heart.
"What are the two sisters talking about hiding here? Don't you want to talk to us? Zheng Yanhui's voice sounded from behind Zheng Lingyi.
Zheng Lingyi turned around calmly and said with a slight smile: "The eldest sister is back, and I just felt that the house was stuffy, so I came out to blow the wind." ”
Zheng Yan followed the servant behind him, but there was no trace of Zheng Yangyang.
Seeing that Zheng Lingyi had a look of incomprehension in his eyes, Zheng Yan replied with a 'sneer' and said, "Your ninth sister followed her mother-in-law into the incense, and she won't come back today." ”
Zheng Lingyi didn't say anything superfluous, just smiled lightly.
Zheng Rong'an's birthday banquet was attended by foreign men, and men and women naturally had different seats.
After Wu Rouxiang beckoned a few tables of female guests from relatives and friends to sit down first, the sisters stood at the other main table, just waiting for Lu Shi to come in.
After a while, Zheng Shuangshuang, who had not shown up just now, walked over with the Lu family very affectionately holding each other, but Zheng Yanru fell behind, looking tired.
Zheng Lingyi couldn't help but look at Zheng Shuangshuang, but she only got a blank look.
Zheng Lingyi's heart was sour and tight, and he pretended to look away calmly, but he held Zheng Changchang's hand tightly.
After Lu sat down, Zheng Yanhui and Zheng Yanxian were on the left, Zheng Yanru and Zheng Shuangshuang on the right, and the concubines sat down, just filling a round table.
Except for Zheng Yanhui and Zheng Shuangshuang and Lu Shi chatting a few words from time to time, the rest of the people were quietly eating, Zheng Lingyi and Zheng Changchang didn't talk much, but occasionally served each other a dish.
On the other hand, Wu Rouxiang's table next door is mostly the female relatives of Zheng Rongan's colleagues or friends, who are of the same age, led by Wu Rouxiang, and always talk and laugh.
"I've always been a sharp-toothed person, why do you pretend to be honest today?" Lu Shi glanced at Zheng Lingyi and mocked.
Zheng Lingyi didn't care about the eyes of those who planned to watch a good show, and only raised his head and said to Lu Shi: "Madam, today's fifth brother's birthday, the male guest is not good to pass, so I wish my brother good health and a bright future here." ”
After that, he poured a full glass of wine and drank it all.
As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit people with smiling faces, even if the Lu family is not uncommon with Zheng Lingyi's good words, she has to worry about today, it is her baby son's birthday, and she doesn't want to make any trouble.
It's just that Lu Shi felt uncomfortable when she saw Zheng Lingyi, and always wanted to stab her a few words, she listened to Zheng Lingyi's kind words, drank again, and only lifted her eyelids, looking disdainful.
The table had just been calm for a while, Zheng Ling asked a few sisters at the next table to come and say hello to Lu, Lu smiled kindly, praised the past one by one, and specially pulled out a white-flour-lipped sister, and added a seat beside her, leaving her to sit down.
After saying a few words, Zheng Lingyi knew that this one was the sister of the Bai family.
She and Zheng Changchang looked at each other quietly, only caring about eating vegetables, and didn't answer half a word.
Zheng Yanhui didn't know if he had been instructed by the Lu family in advance, and asked the Bai family's sister about the east and west, and seemed very positive.
Zheng Lingyi slowly felt a hint of taste, and the war drums beat in his heart.
"It's seventeen years old, and it's the age of getting married." Zheng Yan glanced back at Zheng Changchang and said.
The sister of the Bai family blushed, and was pressed on the chair by the Lu family and couldn't move, she was embarrassed for a while, but a few gusts of wind blew in her ears early, and she knew that she might join the Zheng family in the future, and the Zheng family would also marry a daughter into the Bai family and marry her brother......
Sister Bai didn't speak, only subconsciously glanced at Zheng Changchang.
Zheng Changchang's temperament has always been soft and gentle like a handful of pond water in spring, but now it has become like an ice ridge under the eaves of winter.
She didn't care that Lu Shi was still staring at herself, and slapped the Bai family sister fiercely.
The Bai family's sister hurriedly looked away, but the Lu family glared at Zheng Changchang.
She moved her gaze to Zheng Lingyi again, obviously thinking that Zheng Changyi had changed because of what Zheng Lingyi said or did.
"Men should get married, women should get married, let's tell the truth from our own family, we don't have to twist three or four." Lu Shi glanced at the two sisters, full of dissatisfaction and threat.
Zheng Changchang pretended to be calm, but her palms were already soaked.
Zheng Lingyi was silent, and the two sisters looked like they didn't care about themselves.
After the Bai family's sister was frightened away by Zheng Changchang's glance, she remembered that this was just a little girl in front of her, and she was actually pretending to be in front of her, so she was naturally a little dissatisfied, and she thought that Zheng Changchang didn't know anything about the Bai family's privacy, so she said: "There is still a brother in my family who is not married, but he is wanton by nature, so he has to choose one that suits his eyes." ”
Lu Shi smiled at her slightly, and then knocked Zheng Changchang again, and said: "Grandpa Guo loves his daughter very much, and the girl in my family is stubborn, and I don't know if there is such fate." ”
Zheng Lingyi drank a few glasses of wine, her eyes were dyed red, she glanced at the Bai family sister, suddenly smiled at her evilly, and said: "Brother Ling's eyes are also traceable. ”
The Bai family's sister was inexplicably frightened, but she felt that it was impossible for Zheng Lingyi to know such secrets, so she forced herself to calm down and said with a smile: "Oh? What is it? ”
Zheng Lingyi smiled again, glanced at Lu's family, and then looked at the Bai family's sister and said, "Naturally, the younger the better." ”
Since the undercurrent on the table surged, the other maids did not dare to speak, and at this time they lowered their heads one by one, unable to believe what they had heard.
Zheng Yanhui moved her body unnaturally, turning her back to Zheng Lingyi.
Zheng Yanxian was still wooden and didn't care about anything, but Zheng Yanru looked at Lu Shi dumbfounded.
Zheng Shuangshuang frowned, innocent and stupid: "What do you mean by this, drunk talk, don't lose face in front of the guests." ”
Her words only gave Zheng Lingyi a frustrated glance.
Zheng Shuangshuang really didn't understand, but it was impossible for the Bai family sister not to understand, the dirtiest and ugly things in her family were exposed like this, she was as uncomfortable as being punished, and left in a hurry after finding a reason.
"Very capable." Lu Shi looked at Zheng Lingyi, but he looked calm.
"Madame's subordinates have grown up, and I don't dare not learn a little." Zheng Lingyi lowered his eyes and looked at the wine cup. Laughed.
She weighed the amount of wine she had, put down the wine cup, and immediately changed her look, looking at Lu Shi coldly.
Lu Shi's calm face sank instantly, and he snorted coldly: "What can you do to me?" ”
Zheng Lingyi made a look of hard thought, and said with a smile: "I haven't thought of it for the time being, Madam is going to force me?" I'm a fool, and I think it's worth killing 800 enemies and losing 1,000 myself. ”
