Chapter 383: Hiring
"Say it now." Zheng Lingyi put away the list, and instructed Luzhu to deal with trivial matters.
She didn't think that she would be able to sort out the dowry in this afternoon, but after a cursory thought, there were still a lot of things she wanted to add.
Qin Erniang's gaze couldn't help but follow the gift list handed over to Lu Zhu by Zheng Lingyi, red paper and gold powder, and it was brilliant.
When she came back to her senses, facing Zheng Lingyi's smiling face, Qin Erniang pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, and said, "Madame is going to marry her daughter-in-law, and I haven't congratulated Madame yet." ”
Zheng Lingyi's smile was a little bigger, his eyes were bent, and he said, "Speaking of this, it reminds me of another thing." The red peony you bred is excellent, the flowering period is two months later than the ordinary peony, but it is just the wedding date I engaged with the county lord, the red peony is bright and festive, I think about the time of marriage, put it in the brother's yard, and put it up and down the house, and it is more aura than red silk. ”
This is Qin Erniang's business, she has nothing to do, and nodded again and again: "Yes, the villain will raise more seedlings." ”
The flowering period of this red peony is in July, Qin Erniang is thinking about the day in her heart, and she only feels that her words are even more unspeakable.
"What's wrong with you today?" Qin Erniang has always been cheerful, and today's hesitant appearance is really different from her life, Zheng Lingyi smiled: "Is it for Xiao Wu'er's business?" ”
Qin Erniang nodded subconsciously, it was too late to deny it.
Zheng Lingyi pursed the corners of her mouth and smiled, and said softly: "She, is she a little tempted?" ”
Qin Erniang looked at Zheng Lingyi and opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say for a while.
Zheng Lingyi speculated according to his own thoughts, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid, it will bloom when the flowering period is up, and it will bear fruit when the fruit period is up, which is all natural." I have watched Xiao Wu'er grow up since I was a child, and I will choose a good marriage for her. What are her qualifications? Just say it. ”
Qin Erniang had to follow Zheng Lingyi's words and said, "She, she has no conditions. She, she's only ......
The next word was to point a knife at Qin Erniang's neck, and it was difficult for her to speak.
Mrs. values the Chen family so much, loves the Chen family's sisters, and has a deep friendship with the county lord, even if there is any change in the relationship between this young couple in the future, what if, the Chen Mansion is strong after all, even if it doesn't look at the background of the mother's family, just with the friendship of the two families, Zheng Lingyi can't arrange a close-knit maid for Jiang Sheng to make a room.
The more Qin Erniang thought about it, the more she felt that the path that Xiao Wu'er wanted to take was simply wishful thinking.
"It's up to the lady to decide." Qin Erniang turned her heart sideways, and bowed down as she spoke.
"That's good, I'll let Lu Nong and Lu Zhu pay attention to good candidates, and you have to nod your head in the end."
Zheng Lingyi's words made people feel like a spring breeze, and Qin Erniang was grateful from the bottom of her heart, but she was really not happy at this moment, and barely showed a smile.
"How did Erniang look weird today." Lu Nong also felt a little unusual, and after Qin Erniang left, he said to Zheng Lingyi.
Zheng Lingyi couldn't guess the thoughts of others accurately, and let others live by himself, and said: "I don't think I'm willing to let my daughter marry." Xiao Wu'er's marriage, you and Luzhu pay more attention. ”
Lu Nong laughed, and there were some fine lines at the end of his eyes, and said: "This is not a difficult matter, Lu Zhu said before, Sister Qiaoluo's eldest son Gan Lin is commensurate with Xiao Wu'er's age, and he can be regarded as knowing the roots, if this marriage can be completed, Mrs. has nothing to worry about." ”
"Really, I can't remember him all of a sudden!"
Qiaoluo's son often comes and goes, Zheng Ling has commented on him many times, he is pleasing to the eye, and he is down-to-earth and capable.
"However, Sister Qiaoluo's family has been freed from slavery, and if Xiao Wu'er marries, it will be difficult for us to be a companion." Lu Nong was thinking about Zheng Lingyi in the end, and even mentioned this layer.
"Well, if they have this fate, why should I be locked up here?" Zheng Lingyi said to Lu Nong.
Lu Nong smiled, she knew that Zheng Lingyi was such a character, otherwise she would not have willingly followed her for so many years.
Now that there is a candidate, it is natural to look at each other, Qiao Luo heard that it was the person next to Yun Tuan'er, where was there anything unwilling, so he hurriedly made two new clothes for Gan Lin, and pushed him into the city to deliver things to the master's family.
Xiao Wu'er was inexplicably instructed by Luzhu to go to the side door to check, and saw a square-looking man gossiping with the little guy guarding the door.
She had seen him in her memory, when she was still a teenager, she knew who he was in her heart, and she didn't take it to heart, seeing that only a few pumpkins were sent this time, she felt a little funny, and with his identity, he didn't have to do these things, so she couldn't help but say: "A few pumpkins also run this way?" ”
Gan Lin also seemed to be strange about this, and had no clue, so he laughed helplessly, and said, "Who made my mother remember Mrs. in her heart?" 33 Listen to the book
He looked at Xiao Wu'er as he spoke, thought for a while, and said, "I remember that girl, you are serving in the inner courtyard, right?" Why is it your turn to check things today? ”
It's really a word to wake up the dreamer, Xiao Wu'er thought of these strange tricks, her face turned white, and she almost couldn't stand.
Gan Lin subconsciously wanted to reach out to help her, but was knocked off by her palm.
"Sss Gan Lin retracted his hand in pain, and couldn't help but stare at Xiao Wu'er, only to feel that this girl was really inexplicable.
Before he could say anything, Xiao Wu'er left a few rough servants who were carrying things, and stumbled back against the wall.
The rest of the group looked at each other, but Gan Lin said, "Is that girl demoted?" Why did I ask this sentence and make her react so much? ”
"No, I've always served by my sister's side, and it's very decent."
Hearing this answer, Gan Lin was even more confused, and when he returned to Zhuangzi, Qiao Luo couldn't wait to ask him how he felt about the girl he saw today.
Gan Lin reacted at this time, and also understood Xiao Wu'er's strange appearance, he extinguished Qiaoluo's enthusiasm with a word, "Mother, you better change to a girl Zhang Luo." This girl definitely doesn't look down on me. ”
Qiao Luo was still a little unconvinced, and after listening to Gan Lin talk about Xiao Wu'er's strange reaction, he frowned and said, "How come?" Madame has always been meticulous in her work, how could she choose a girl who doesn't want to marry? ”
"It doesn't have to be that I don't want to get married, so I don't allow people to look down on me?" Gan Lin said.
Qiaoluo slapped him, although she looked at her son everywhere, she couldn't stop the radish greens from having their own love, so she only sighed and said, "Okay." Let's take a look. ”
Gan Lin easily turned the page, but Xiao Wu'er was not so good, she ran back to the house and cried on the bed, she really couldn't help it, and she couldn't hide it, just for a while, Yun Tuan'er knew, and Zheng Lingyi also knew.
Yun Tuan'er came to see her, and Xiao Wu'er buried her face in the futon and refused to see anyone.
Seeing Xiao Wu'er's reluctance to act like this, Yun Tuan'er felt a little uncomfortable, and said strangely: "I have also seen the son of the Gan family, the eldest son is studying medicine, and the younger son is studying literature, and he is not an unbearable person. If you don't want to, forget it, why do you cry like this? The mother is not a person who does not drink water and presses his head. I can't even see through your thoughts lately, obviously you are a little looking forward to getting married, why are you so hypocritical, if you can't look down on others to refuse, why bother? But there is someone in my heart? ”
Although Yun Tuan'er is young, she can't be fooled when she speaks, Xiao Wu'er was blushing by what she said, and raised her face, her face was like a soaked dried jujube, red and swollen.
Yun Tuan'er waited for her to speak, but she pursed her lips and didn't say a word, Yun Tuan'er didn't have the patience to coax people, sighed, and said, "That's it, I made an appointment to go to the theater with Sister Qingyang in the afternoon, there is no time to delay, you better rest." ”
Xiao Wu'er suddenly heard this name again, and her heart seemed to be spit on with contempt, after Yun Tuan'er left, she couldn't help but be sad, and fell on the quilt and cried, and was listening to the green beads.
Lily was standing at the door with a cup of hot tea, either in or out.
Lu Zhu thought that she had chosen a good candidate for her, but she never thought that Xiao Wu'er had been wronged like this, no matter how good her temperament was, she was a little dissatisfied: "It's so ugly!" No one forced her to get on the sedan chair! ”
Lily didn't dare to speak, so Lu Zhu glanced at her and said, "Whose maid are you, what kind of tea do you pour her?" ”
She was frightened, and hurriedly went back to the Yuntuan Children's Courtyard on an errand, and Luzhu didn't plan to enter the house, leaving only Xiao Wu'er's crying high or low, I don't know how long it lasted.
Two days later, Qin Erniang went to Zheng Lingyi to make amends, saying that she had mistaken her daughter's mind and that she didn't want to get married.
Although Zheng Lingyi was a little confused, she didn't believe her, and she was not interested in this matter, so she just said that she would let Xiao Wu'er be on an errand with peace of mind.
Qin Erniang heard the coldness in her tone, and she was very uneasy. However, Zheng Lingyi and Yun Tuan'er didn't pursue anything more about this matter, and Xiao Wu'er still did her errand in the courtyard as usual.
After the autumn leaves, there are snowflakes, and the Wu family, which has always been clean, is lively, and Zheng Changchang and Cai Qiran both came to help add joy to the courtyard. Although it is only a lower hiring, it can be seen that the battle of the main family is more important than the wedding day of ordinary people.
Jiang Sheng didn't know what he was doing in the morning, and Huanxi's head was confused, and he couldn't go out before the auspicious time came, so he scurried around the courtyards, and he couldn't be stable for a moment.
When the auspicious time came, as soon as the firecrackers went off, even the figure was gone, and Brother Jue was still eating rose gnocchi in the hall a moment ago, and was pulled away by Jiang Sheng as a companion.
The gnocchi took half a bite, and the rose sauce fell into the bowl, blurring a pink red, and Jue Ge'er couldn't finish this bite, so angry that he remembered it all the way.
The festive firecrackers rang out for a long time, and every corner of the Wu family was full of joy, and everyone in the mansion got a new dress, who was not smiling. Xiao Wu'er is pretending to be happy today, but she still can't resist being sad and lonely.
