Chapter 4: The Daughter's Birthday Banquet

Jiuniang nodded, but there was no smug look between her eyebrows, and she only said: "The eighth sister is a brainless like her aunt, and it is strange not to make trouble when she encounters the reckless nature of the sixth sister." I just didn't expect to call her dead. ”

At the end of the sentence, there was a little remorse.

"Seedlings." Aunt Cai didn't know what to say, so she only called Jiuniang's name.

Zheng Yangyang smiled reluctantly, remorse and anger mixed on her brow.

"Mother, I'm fine. Who told Aunt Zhong to leak the fact that you are pregnant in front of Lu's? If she hadn't said it so early, the Lu clan wouldn't have used such a vicious method to calculate you! You are constantly red, and it is always good to be unlucky, and you have suffered a lot. ”

"Aunt Zhong is indeed a brainless," Aunt Cai has indeed planted a lot of heels on Aunt Zhong over the years, "In the past, Grandpa Guo gave me a hairpin flower, and asked her to tell it in front of Mrs., so I knelt on the bluestone slab of Anheju for two hours, and now that I think about it, my knees are still sore for a while!" ”

Aunt Cai thought for a while, and then said: "You and Eighth Sister are only a few months apart, she likes to take advantage of you since she was a child, but whenever you have something passable, she will always find a way to take it away." ”

Zheng Yangyang listened to Aunt Cai's words, and knew that she was trying to ease her heart, so she also made a relieved look.

But in her heart, there was an idea quietly popping up.

I just wanted to make Banniang suffer, but now I killed their mother and daughter.

These two lives were just because of a sentence she said to Shi Lan, intentionally or unintentionally.

This method of killing people with a knife and pushing the boat down the river is really wonderful.

Knowing that this matter was related to Zheng Yangyang, Aunt Cai was worried for a while.

But Banniang, Aunt Qiu and Qiaojuan, the three of them, have lived in this Zheng Guogong Mansion for so many years, and they don't see anyone if they don't see anyone, and no one asks the first half of the sentence.

'Aunt Qiu' still lives in Dongyuan, but no one has seen her again, and no one has spoken to her.

Some people don't care, and some people don't dare to ask.

Aunt Cai gradually put her mind at ease, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival immediately after Zheng Yanxian's birthday, and the Lu family was busy planning, so she avoided the morning greeting.

This allowed Aunt Cai to recuperate for a few days, and her body gradually improved.

It seems that this concubine's birthday is also of some benefit to her aunt and concubine.

Zheng Lingyi is looking forward to her sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law celebrating their birthdays.

Without the morning greetings, coupled with Aunt Jiang's 'tribute' from five mountains away, she could sleep late, and Aunt Jiang could bring breakfast back from the dining room, and then let the two of them get up unhurriedly.

Zheng Lingyi felt that this day was more comfortable than the New Year.

It's just that after these few days of comfort, there is a day when it will be difficult.

It was my birthday.

The daughter's birthday has always been lively.

Lu is a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing and dancing in all directions, and the wives of the important ministers in the court, even if they don't make friends with her, they can still talk.

As long as she posts a post, most people will give her this face, and keep it to make this birthday banquet lively.

It is only at these times that the maids of the two courtyards of the West Garden and the East Garden can show their faces in front of people.

If he doesn't show his face again, I'm afraid that the Lu family will have a reputation for being mean in the backyard.

You must know that the three sons of Zheng Guogong are all sons-in-law, and there are no concubines.

If you don't have the slightest suspicion, that's impossible.

Except for those who are no longer in the world, he has seven concubines, and none of them have concubines.

How can it not make people suspicious?

Although the Lu family is mean to the concubine, but attaches great importance to her reputation, under her painstaking management, so many years have passed, her ruthless methods, although some people doubt, sporadic discussions, but in the end did not become any waves.

Some ladies also say that she is 'well-governed', and ask her for a lesson or two!

No, the Qiao family of the Wu family, who came to the Guogong Mansion two hours before the banquet, didn't they have such an idea?

Qiao's family has two biological sons-in-law, a concubine, and two concubines and a concubine.

In the past, when her sister-in-law was not born, she also kept the stomachs of the concubines tightly in check, and when the two sisters-in-law grew up, she felt that no one could shake her status, so she didn't care a little.

The two concubines fell to the ground quietly at that time.

Although Qiao's family hated the concubines for secretly Chen Cang, she was full of confidence, and she just let her mother-in-law slap her mouth every day when they were confined, but she didn't touch the child's life.

After all, it's a boy, and General Wu still cares.

There is a child named Wu Zhun among these concubines, and the more he grows up, the more similar his appearance is to General Wu when he was young, and a pair of thick eyebrows are poured out of a mold.

He is not very old now, but between his eyebrows and eyes, he can also see the posture of the jade tree in the wind in the future.

General Wu has paid more and more attention to it, and recently he has been taking it with him in and out with him, and Wu Yongjun and Wu Yongan, who are from Qiao's family, have never had such treatment.

"Sister. What should I do, sister, do you? Qiao Shi complained bitterly, and really shed a few tears.

"I mean, you shouldn't have been soft then!" When Lu Shi heard Qiao's words, he admired his foresight over the years.

"Who's to say it isn't? But in this world, how can there be regret medicine! Qiao Shi stroked his chest, as if he was sad.

"Sister Qiao, don't be too sad. That kid is still a kid after all. Isn't his mother still in your hands? ”

Lu Shi took a grain of sugar cinnamon pickled plum, spit out the clean kernel in the veil, and said: "You think of a way to make General Wu tired of the child's mother, and he will have some children with him." ”

Qiao Shi wiped his tears, his eyes lit up, and he smiled: "It's very simple, it's just, is it useful?" ”

"Is it useful, you have to look at my sister herself? If you can't do it with a soft heart, the strength is not enough, and you don't hurt the child if you hurt the mother, but I'm afraid that the child will fight back in the future! ”

Lu Shi smiled and glanced at Qiao Shi, seeing that she showed a thoughtful look, he knew that this matter was half done, so he said lightly: "Sister, I'm waiting for your good news." ”

Qiao Shi already had some plans in his heart, and now he was in a good mood, so he politely pulled Lu Shi and said, "Thank you sister for planning for me, let's go, and accompany you to welcome guests." ”

When a raccoon dog gets together, it is naturally incomparable.

The two walked affectionately to the west hall in the front yard.

The west hall is a place for the ladies to eat, and the east hall is for the girls who have not left the cabinet.

If you want to sit with your family, just go to the back of the main hall.

Don't pass through the main hall, which is for male guests.

If you are reckless, it will be a loss of face for the whole family.

At the moment, there were not a few people here, and the Lu family came to the east hall, and Danzhu walked in front to open the way.

Zheng Yanru was playing with Zheng Yanxian with the flower rope, and when she saw that Lu was coming, she shouted to her mother and continued to play.

Zheng Yanru doesn't like to dress up, so she tosses around herself by the maid and mother-in-law, who is decent and has the style of a concubine.

Zheng Yanxian is today's birthday star, she wears the most lively, she looks a little delicate, and her face is like a peach blossom in a pink dress.

The sisters in the side hall were already quiet, but as soon as the Lu family came, the concubines were even more cautious about panting.

The fifteenth, eighteenth and nineteenth mothers sat together, and the fourth, nineth, twelfth, and fourteenth mothers were also lined up in turn.

Their behavior is all in line with the rules, and they are not shabby.

It's just that as soon as the clothes on Zheng Mianmian's body entered Lu's eyes, Lu glanced at Danzhu.

Danzhu immediately stepped forward and looked at the clothes on Zheng Mianmian's body, "Is this a new dress?" When the eldest sister was not out of the cabinet in the past, didn't you wear it once at the birthday banquet? ”

Zheng Mianmian was already frightened, shook her body and said, "I made new clothes, but just now, just now......

"What just now? Can't even reply? ”

Her cowering appearance failed to arouse the slightest trace of pity from Danzhu.

"The nineteenth sister's clothes just made the sixth sister careless and spilled a glass of water, so I asked her to change it." Zheng Yanru said impatiently.

Lu Shi looked at her in disbelief, Zheng Yanru laughed helplessly, and said, "Mother, why should I take such a small thing from myself?" I don't believe you ask my sister. ”

"yes. Who told her to walk so slowly, like a lame mother-in-law? Zheng Yanxian glanced at Zheng Mianmian angrily and said.

Zheng Mianmian is a very timid character, not very beautiful, with a small nose, small mouth and small eyes, and his facial features are so light that they can be gently wiped off with his fingertips.

So she has always been very inferior, and when she walks in a crowded place, she is used to bending over and bowing, she already minds, and when she asks Zheng Yanxian to say this, it is extremely sad.

"That's it. Mother, let's just say that the nineteenth sister is sick, let her rest. There are so many sisters in our family, and one or two others will not ask about it. Zheng Yanru played with the flower rope and said casually.

Looking at Zheng Mianmian's appearance, showing timidity would only embarrass himself in front of others, so Lu Shi said: "Go back to Xiyuan and stay in peace, don't come out." ”

Lu's words made Zheng Mianmian change from the object of everyone's pity to everyone's envy.

The Lu clan knocked a few more words, just telling them to be cautious in their words and deeds, not to embarrass the Guogong Mansion, and looked around again before leaving, but their eyes fell on Zheng Chuchu, who had not been able to see for a long time.

Zheng Chuchu combed a rather elegant high bun today, her hair was already good, thick and dark, and it was even more outstanding to comb such a bun.

She only wore a long, curved red gold hairpin at the base of her bun, which loomed as she lowered her head.

A peach-colored skirt is already a bit eye-catching, and the cuffs are embellished with pearls.

Lu Shi looked at Zheng Chuchu's lowered head and said, "Fourth, look up." ”

Zheng Chuchu didn't dare to disobey, raised his head, a soft and tender face, like a jade disc, most of the facial features were inconspicuous, only a pair of round eyes could be seen, adding two or three points of color.

Although this appearance is comparable to Zheng Yanru, it is not comparable to Zheng Yanhui and Zheng Yanxian.

Lu Shi snorted coldly and said, "The girl has grown up and has the intention of getting married." ”
