Chapter 226: Knife Holder

Such words, Zheng Lingyi said many times in front of Lu, although Lu showed a look of disdain, in fact, he also understood in his heart that Zheng Lingyi has been more paranoid since Aunt Jiang died, and now she cares most about Zheng Changchang, if she really forces her in this matter, even if she loses her breath and goes into the ground, she has to break it out of the grave and gnaw a piece of flesh and blood on the enemy before she will give up.

The mother and daughter in the name, the actual enemies are so deadlocked, one gritted his teeth angrily, the other squinted and stared coldly, whether it was a concubine or a concubine, whether it was schadenfreude or apprehension, no one dared to speak at the table.

In the end, it was the appearance of Wu Rouxiang that broke this strange silence.

The mother-in-law and mother fight for power on weekdays, and when they meet, they are like flints and sparks, but they can barely be regarded as a family, and in front of these concubines, even if they pretend to be harmonious.

Wu Rouxiang naturally noticed the unusual silence of everyone, so she said in a low voice: "Mother-in-law, what's wrong with this Bai family sister?" As soon as he returned to the table, he said that he was not feeling well, and he had already gone back. ”

Before Lu Shi could answer, Zheng Yanru said: "Don't ask, sister-in-law, go back and preside." ”

When she said this, she frowned, didn't look at Lu Shi, let alone Zheng Lingyi, only stared at the empty porcelain bowl in front of her, although she tried her best to calm her tone, but still revealed a faint disgust.

Zheng Yanru's tone and attitude should have made Wu Rouxiang unhappy, but now, I am afraid that something has happened.

Wu Rouxiang saw that the Lu clan didn't seem to have the upper hand, and she wanted to get involved, but she felt that everyone was a little avoiding Zheng Lingyi, afraid that this little slut had gained momentum, and felt very boring, so she said a few words and left.

Right now, this is in the Zheng Mansion, in front of a large table of people, it is impossible for the Lu family to let Zheng Lingyi play a set of prestige and leave, although Zheng Changchang is climbing Zheng Guogong at the moment, and he is being protected by Zheng Lingyi who has painstakingly arranged Dong Ni, but after all, he is in the inner house.

Lu snorted lightly to start, and was about to sneer and beat the two sisters, but saw a messenger walking quickly from the corridor.

The servant said to the Lu family, but turned to Zheng Lingyi and said, "Sister, Grandpa Guo asked the slave to invite you to the study, saying that there is something to discuss." ”

Zheng Lingyi didn't expect this turn of events, Zheng Guogong asked himself to say something during the banquet?

She was also confused, so she said, "What did you say?" ”

The servant shook her head to show that she didn't know.

Zheng Lingyi got up, tilted his body casually towards the Lu family, reached out and dragged Zheng Changchang again, and took his sister away.

Zheng Mianmian glanced at it from the corner of her eye, looking at the back of the two sisters leaving wantonly, her eyes were very envious.

Lu Shi was so angry by Zheng Lingyi's frivolous attitude that his mouth and eyes were crooked, but he couldn't show it in front of everyone.

She was holding back the fire in her heart, and suddenly a pair of small hands put on her arm, Lu Shi glanced at it, and saw that Zheng Shuangshuang was looking at her cautiously, trying to squeeze out a flattering smile, and said: "Mother, don't be angry with such a person, it's not worth it." ”

Lu Shi looked at this little face who had learned flattery at a young age, and suddenly calmed down.

She smirked and scratched her fingernails across Zheng Shuangshuang's face, watching her shrink involuntarily, and laughing desperately, thinking happily in her heart, "This face really looks like her unlucky mother." ’

Yingying's eyes, upturned petal lips, and smooth skin are a little less clear and more humble and squeamish compared with her two sisters.

Zheng Yanru watched all this, and a huge sense of sadness surged in her heart.

"Or is Shuangshuang right, what's the use of trying to be happy? People have grown up in this life, there are no goods in their stomachs, they lose face in their husband's family, and they actually come back and run rampant in their parents' sisters, which is also ridiculous. Lu's mood turned cloudy to sunny, and he glanced at the remaining concubines and said.

"Madame is very right." Zheng Yingying responded dryly, and for some reason, she lost the strength she had when she was ridiculing Zheng Lingyi.

Zheng Lingyi took Zheng Changchang to the study of Zheng Guogong's outer courtyard, and when he saw the two sisters coming together, a vague smile appeared on Zheng Guogong's somewhat drunk face, "You might as well keep your sister under your armpits, and you don't feel at ease after being away for a while?" ”

"Don't worry." Zheng Lingyi didn't mean to speak so coldly, but Fang Cai's anger was still in her throat, and she couldn't go up or down, so she couldn't hold back her soft tone.

Seeing that Zheng Guogong frowned slightly, Zheng Changchang greeted him with a smile, skillfully poured tea and water for Zheng Guogong, waited for Zheng Guogong to take a sip with both hands, and said angrily: "Daddy eats wine again, and the Ming Dynasty has a headache." ”

She stretched out her hand again. Get into the hot tub and twist a roll. The hot handkerchief wiped Zheng Guogong's face, and the hot and wet air baked on his face, and Zheng Guogong sighed comfortably.

In the gap when Zheng Guogong enjoyed Zheng Changchang's smooth service, the two sisters glanced at each other, Zheng Changchang's little hands were hot and red, Zheng Lingyi glanced at it, lowered his eyes and raised it again, quickly adjusted his emotions, and said to Zheng Guogong with a little crying: "Dad, I'm really scared." ”

'Afraid? Afraid of what? ’

When Zheng Guogong heard this, he took off the handkerchief and looked at Zheng Lingyi, he was comforted by Zheng Changchang's service, his eyes softened a lot, and he glanced at Zheng Changchang again, and saw that she was also smiling, and thought about it: "Did Mrs. say something again?" ”

Zheng Changchang walked around behind Zheng Guogong and gently rubbed his shoulders for him.

Zheng Lingyi averted his gaze, as if he remembered something disgusting, turned his head to look at Zheng Guogong again, and said with tears in his eyes: "Madame invited the brothers and sisters of the Bai family today, does Daddy know?" ”

Zheng Guogong didn't pay much attention to the brother of the Bai family, but said: "I haven't paid attention to the trivial matters of these banquet guests, Bai family?" Isn't it......

He didn't see it through, but just glanced at Zheng Changchang.

Zheng Changchang lowered her head, her eyes watery.

Zheng Guogong frowned and said: "The Bai family is not bad, why bother......

"Daddy." Zheng Lingyi walked quickly to Zheng Guogong's knees and knelt down, and briefly talked about the filthy things that the Bai family was hiding.

Zheng Guogong was surprised and said, "How do you know about this?" You, you just poked on the table? ”

Zheng Lingyi had a deep understanding of Zheng Guogong's conduct, and was even too lazy to be disappointed, so he said directly: "The Bai family plays with us as fools, even if the tenth brother is a little stubborn, in the end, he has sound hands and feet and a bright brain, why bother to climb with the Bai family, who is a family in the West Mountain." ”

Zheng Guogong looked at Zheng Lingyi for a long time, then nodded slowly, and said: "The Lu family deceived me again, and only reported good news and not bad news. ”

Zheng Lingyi nodded again and again, as for the facts, how much Zheng Guogong knows, Zheng Lingyi doesn't want to investigate deeply, it is meaningless.

"The Wu family kid didn't come today." Zheng Guogong suddenly opened his mouth and asked knowingly.

Zheng Lingyi nodded, and said a little inexplicably: "He is entangled in official business, didn't he greet his father before?" ”

Zheng Guogong nodded thoughtfully, and said seemingly casually: "What kind of official business?" ”

Zheng Lingyi's eyes widened slightly, and she said in confusion: "This, how does my daughter know clearly?" ”

Zheng Guogong was not surprised by Zheng Lingyi's answer, after all, it was official business, and coupled with his son-in-law's quiet temperament, he was too lazy to say it.

"But what did Daddy hear in the court? Is there anything wrong? Zheng Lingyi actually heard some things about Wu Zhi, it seemed to be about a cult, but she didn't know what Zheng Guogong was doing when he suddenly mentioned this, so she didn't leak it.

"What are you doing with something frustrating?" Zheng Guogong said unhappily, and his face showed a slight joy that he couldn't hold, and said, "I just heard some rumors." ”

Although Zheng Guogong hinted that if this matter was successful, it would be a great achievement, but Zheng Lingyi was not very happy in his heart, after all, the duck was still fluttering in the pool, and when it was time to eat it on the table, it would be too late to be happy.

However, Zheng Guogong seemed to have high hopes for Wu Punishment, that is, Zheng Lingyi proposed to take Zheng Changchang back to Wu's house to live for a few days, and he also readily agreed, and said that he had prepared a gift for General Wu, and asked someone to clean it up and send it to Wu's house.

This is not a New Year's Day and there is no reason to give a gift, Zheng Guogong only said that it is a friendship between old friends, and the gift is not deliberate, it is a knife holder that he got by chance.

Zheng Lingyi and Zheng Changchang never returned, and they didn't come back until the end of the banquet, when Zheng Yingying and Zheng Chuchu went out together, they couldn't help muttering: "The fifteenth sister's temperament is really not at all, I see that although her husband is a disgusting face that does not smile, she also looks like a heroic figure, why hasn't she given birth to a boy and a half girl until now?" I don't know if it's because the fifteenth sister's belly is not angry, or if her husband is actually an embroidered pillow? ”

The more she talked, the more outrageous it became, her original intention was to make fun of Zheng Lingyi, but this sentence poked Zheng Chuchu's heart.

Zheng Yingying didn't hear Zheng Chuchu's response for half a sentence, only then did she realize that her expression was not good, she knew that she was speechless, and she was about to make up a few words, but when she saw Zheng Chuchu nodding coldly, she got into the Wen family's carriage.

She is now a widow, with only a beaded hairpin on her body, and today she rarely wears a dress with flowers, which is still approved by her mother-in-law.

Since the child was enlightened with the Wen family's elder brother, Zheng Chuchu's courtyard was quiet like a Buddhist hall, except for occasionally returning to his parents' house, he would not go out easily, but he also won a little respect from the Wen family, and his life was better than before.

Zheng Yingying was faceless and 'snorted', she felt that Zheng Chuchu was pitiful, so she didn't care about the cold treatment this time.

After Zheng Chuchu's carriage left, in addition to Zheng Yingying's carriage, there was also a carriage at the gate of the Guogong Mansion. ”

The little servant replied: "No one went out, but the carriage of the fifteenth lady couldn't put the gift given by Grandpa Guo, so we asked us to arrange another one to send to the Wu family." ”

Zheng Yingying's complacent mood suddenly faded a lot, and said, "What kind of etiquette?" ”

The little guy hesitated and said, "This little man doesn't know much, it's very heavy, what kind of good wood should it be?" ”

Zheng Yingying was even more unhappy when she heard this, and walked towards her carriage, annoyed: "She doesn't know how to be proportionate, and she actually got her father's courtesy, it's really incomprehensible." ”

Although her husband was personally chosen by Zheng Guogong, these days, it seems that he is not as important as the rebel son of the Wu family in the fifteenth.
