Before Zheng Lingyi returned home, Teng also prepared a dish for her and asked her to take it back to General Wu, saying that it was his favorite.

Zheng Lingyi waited for a while, and saw the maid coming with a thick burden, wrapped in a large casserole, and a thick hemp rope was tied to the casserole, and a rich aroma of meat seeped out from the cracks, which made people feel the index finger move.

"I thought I would invite you to come today, so I simmered all night last night, stewed mutton in big oil, and your old man can eat this whole pot alone!"

Teng said with a smile, wrapped the burden back with his own hands, and handed it to Luzhu.

Zheng Lingyi tried to raise the corners of her mouth, but she couldn't laugh, fortunately, she was about to leave, and she said that she would meet another day, but she didn't let Teng Shi look worried.

You must know that General Wu can't eat this kind of dish with a lot of oil and meat now.

The mother who was waiting in the South Courtyard quietly said to Zheng Lingyi that General Wu had lost a lot of appetite, and now he eats some clear porridge and side dishes that don't see meat every day, and then Zheng Lingyi's medicinal food, he rarely eats dim sum, and he hasn't called for supper.

Zheng Lingyi understood in his heart, and also asked the doctor to come and see, the doctor is a good person, and said in front of General Wu that he should be old and strong, and praised him as if he was incorruptible, and turned to Zheng Lingyi and said: "The age is coming, make up for it." ”

Zheng Lingyi showed his medicinal diet recipe to the doctor, eliminated a few inappropriate medicinal materials, and asked the doctor for a few prescriptions, so as to change the taste of General Wu.

After all, today's pot of mutton is Teng's heart, and Zheng Lingyi still sent it to General Wu.

Old General Wu said yes in a hurry, sniffed deeply in front of Zheng Lingyi, wrinkled almost invisibly, and quickly smiled: "Go and get a small bowl, you can divide some and eat with the third child." ”

Zheng Lingyi saw it and pretended not to see it, but just responded, and walked away with a small bowl containing mutton with a smile.

As soon as he turned around, the worry and melancholy in his heart rose to his brow.

Wu Punishment's tiredness in the past few days is also written on his face, Zheng Lingyi doesn't want to say these things to add more worries to him, although today is a rest, but he also went to Dali Temple for a long time, and he came back after lunch, and he rested after eating a bowl of vegetable dumplings.

When he fell asleep, his brows were still furrowed, and he didn't know if he was still thinking about the case in a dream.

Zheng Lingyi heard Wu Zhi briefly mention a few words, but for some reason, he didn't say it in detail.

Yan Siqing personally asked Wu Zhi to follow the case, in addition to this case, Sizheng's own errand could not be left behind, plus Bai Sizheng couldn't help, so Rao is Wu Punishment, and his energy was a little reluctant.

Zheng Lingyi tiptoed to close the door of the inner room and beckoned to the green beads.

Lu Zhu listened closely, and Zheng Lingyi said softly: "In half an hour, you will let Mother Jin cook a wolfberry tea." ”

Lu Zhu covered her mouth and smiled: "Mother Jin's wolfberry tea is always boiled and rotten, like making soup, or after a while, the slave will cook it herself." ”

Zheng Lingyi nodded, also bent his eyes, and said, "That's fine." ”

When Lu Nong heard what they said, he suddenly remembered something, patted his head and said: "The slave almost forgot, when I went to deliver something to Sister Qiaoluo a few days ago, I heard Shi her mother say that she didn't want to be a cook in the Guogong Mansion, and asked Mrs. if you would accept her." ”

Lu Nong said Qiao Niang, as soon as Zheng Lingyi heard this, he immediately remembered Qiao Niang's good craftsmanship, and the Wu family's dim sum was really far worse than the Guogong Mansion.

She also said that the stone is now settled in Zhuangzi, and she opened a medical clinic with Gansong in the suburbs of Beijing in her spare time, and she felt at ease, and her wife wanted her to live in the house, not like in the Zheng family, she must live in the outer courtyard.

"That's the best, if she insists on being in the outer court, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect her. Then go and deliver a message, and say that I will agree. ”

Zheng Lingyi misses Qiao Niang's dim sum for two days, Qiao Niang is willing to come to live in peace, she is naturally happy, she can make some soft and delicious dim sum, so that General Wu's appetite can be better.

Zheng Lingyi thought about it, and then thought of General Wu, she lowered her eyelashes to cover her worries.

Lu Nong folded several clothes selected by Zheng Lingyi one by one, and beckoned Pei'er to send them to the embroidery room in the outer courtyard, and when she turned back to the house, she said while walking: "Madam, the second young lady is still avoiding the fifth sister and refuses to see it, when you went to Mi's house yesterday, she also boarded the door of our quiet residence." ”

Zheng Lingyi was not surprised, but said helplessly: "It seems that her marriage can only fall on my shoulders after all." Fortunately, there is nothing to do, if something happens, I am afraid that the second sister-in-law will swallow her alive. ”

"I was also shocked when I saw the fifth sister yesterday." Hearing Lu Nong say this, Zheng Lingyi subconsciously looked at her.

Lu Nong pouted his cheeks, his cheeks were comically sunken, and said: "I was sick, I actually lost weight like this, the slave and maid looked at her pitifully, and persuaded her to leave with kind words, and she should come again in the next few days." ”

"This time I'm sick and scared, and it's not surprising that my face is yellow and thin."

There is no small kitchen in Aunt Yang's courtyard, and Zheng Lingyi heard that she suffered a lot of criticism when she borrowed the big kitchen to decoct medicine for Wu Yan, and I don't know if the silver was not rewarded, or if Gao Man also instructed her.

The master and servant talked for a while, and suddenly heard something from Wu in the inner room.

Before Lu Nong and Lu Zhu could react, they saw Zheng Lingyi get up and walk to the back room.

The two Midori glanced at each other puzzled, and Midori wondered, "What did my uncle say, 'itchy'?" ”

Lu Nong shook his head again and again, and said with a tangled face: "Uncle's temperament, do you think he might say something like 'itching'?" ”

The two of them thought for a while, and Lu Nong suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly told Lu Zhu: "Don't talk about this." ”

Lu Zhu felt inexplicable and said, "What's the matter?" What does my uncle want my wife to tickle her? ”

Lu Nong couldn't cry or laugh, glanced out of the door, and saw that there was no one nearby, so he lowered his voice and said to her: "What my uncle said is not itchy, it's Yangyang, it's Madame's nickname." ”

"No wonder I said that Madame's name was very different from her sister's, and that it was a nickname."

Lu Zhu covered her mouth, her eyes were about to smile, Lu Nong poked her head with a smile, and told her again.

…………

Qiao's matter of giving Wu Yongan a concubine was progressing rapidly, and yesterday two young women with thin waists and wide discs entered the Lingxi Courtyard.

I heard that they are all daughters of farmers outside, and one of them is the daughter of a neighbor of Gan Pozi in the courtyard. However, Gan Pozi has not been back to the old house for a long time, so Qiao's family has not found this floor.

Gan Pozi has been thinking about it for the past few days, and she is very puzzled. "How did you make your own girl someone else's little wife?"

Mrs. Wang laughed at her and said, "You are really old and confused, do you really think that whose courtyard is as clean as ours?" There are more people climbing the bed! Whether the heart of the people outside looks different, or the liver looks different, there are always willing people! ”

Gan Pozi argued: "No, that family is a student. ”

"Don't you have to eat when you study?" Mrs. Yin said.

Gan Pozi sighed and said, "I only remember that the girl was a little girl with a red face and big eyes, and she was also at the age of giving birth to a child." ”

Lu Zhu listened to all the news in the mother-in-law's pile, and went back to the house to tell Zheng Lingyi.

"I heard that there is a surname Qiu and a surname Xia, which is also a coincidence." Lu Zhu said, and saw Lu Nong shaking his head at her, and snorting at the soft couch again.

Sister Mei took a nap for a while, and was waking up leisurely at this time.

Zheng Lingyi coaxed her to drink half a cup of milk, she leaned on Zheng Lingyi's arms and didn't speak, looking very cute.

Pei'er came in to spread the word, saying that Xiangyang was here and wanted to take Sister Mei back.

"It's so urgent, but what's going on in the Lingxi Academy?" Green Bead Road.

Pei'er felt that Xiangyang's expression was not very good, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only nod and shake her head again.

Luzhu led Sister Mei out and wanted to explore it herself.

When she returned, she was disgraced, as if she had been reprimanded.

Zheng Lingyi glanced at her and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Zhu hesitated: "Aunt Du found out that she was pregnant. ”

Zheng Lingyi was silent, and he didn't say a word for a long time, which made Lu Zhu panic, and hurriedly pulled Lu Nong into the house to see the situation.

Zheng Lingyi had already returned to the inner room, and he didn't ask the two of them to come in, so Lu Zhu Lunong could only be anxious outside the door.

If Zheng Lingyi hadn't come up with this idea at that time, and Gao Man would have died, maybe he would have been able to get to the day when Aunt Du found out that she was pregnant, and there would not be two more aunts in the Lingxi Courtyard.

Gao Man also asked Xiangyang to bring Sister Mei back, just to let Zheng Lingyi understand that in her heart, Zheng Lingyi had to account for more than half of the fault in this matter.

Since coming out of Lingge that day, the aunt and sister-in-law haven't even seen each other, and it seems that today Sister Mei will not come in the future.

Although they are all in the same house, as long as the courtyard door is closed, those who don't want to see it don't have to see it.

Zheng Lingyi locked himself alone until the evening, and when Wu came back, Lu Zhu and Lu Nong looked at him like saviors.

As soon as Wu Yan pushed the room open, Zheng Lingyi changed his sluggish state, instantly became energetic, and Zhang Luo said, "What do you want to eat today?" ”

"Let's eat noodles." Wu Zhi said indifferently, and dragged Zheng Lingyi to his side and sat down.

Zheng Lingyi waved his hand at the green beads, and looked at Wu Zhu with a smile.

Wu Zhi stared at her, and didn't mention anything that made her unhappy, but said, "I may be promoted." ”

Zheng Lingyi blinked, the joy in his eyes became warm, and said, "Really? ”

Wu Zhi nodded and said, "There is a Si Cheng who is very dissatisfied with Lord Siqing's recent performance, and the position is probably going to be vacant. ”

"But Gong Sicheng?" Zheng Lingyi said.

Wu Zhi didn't expect that she still remembered Gong Sicheng, shook her head and said: "Although Gong Sicheng is not outstanding, it is not so much, it is another." ”

"How long will it take to know if I can get promoted?" Zheng Lingyi said again.

Wu Zhi pinched her nose and said: "This official position is still a duck who can only fly, there are many people in Dali Temple who don't want me to be promoted, I said it early today, just to make your heart more relaxed." ”

Zheng Lingyi knew that he had good intentions, and pursed his lips and smiled bitterly.

Jiaojiao came in again at this time to make a fuss, and I don't know if she noticed that the owner was in a bad mood, and she was more coquettish than before.
