Chapter Ninety-Nine

Although Zheng Qiuqiu's temperament is not so steady, he rarely comes back to dinner.

But behind closed doors, no one cares about other people's affairs.

Zheng Lingyi's family is full of food and drink, the charcoal pot is burning, the room is warm, the work is done, the reading is reading, the embroidery is embroidery, and the house is quiet and peaceful.

My eyes were sore, and when I was sleepy, I blew the oil lamp and fell asleep, and I will talk about the affairs of the Ming Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty.

When I woke up that night, two of the people in the house fell ill.

Qiao Luo had a stomach upset in the middle of last night, going in and out of the thatched house, but he contracted the cold and became more sick.

Lu Nong took care of Qiao Luo all night, and it was not until the morning that Qiao Luo recovered a little, but Lu Nong was full of grievances.

"It's so cold on a winter night, didn't I tell you to use the bucket in the house?"

Zheng Lingyi put on his cloak and was about to go to Anhe Ju to ask for peace, looking at the two sick maids, and asked them to stay and rest.

"No! Even the first-class maids of An and Curie don't have this rule! Qiao Luo said very resolutely.

Now that she was about to go out, Zheng Lingyi didn't say much, so she just glanced at her helplessly and went out with Zheng Changchang.

Today's people of An and Curie are cold, the Lu family has not yet come, and Zheng Guogong has gone to the court. The aunts have not called for daily greetings since last month, and I don't know who they mean.

Zheng Yanxian and Zheng Yanhui are not there, and Zheng Qiuqiu is not there, only Zheng Lingyi, Zheng Changchang, Zheng Yingying and Zheng Mianmian.

The four of them looked at each other, and they didn't know what was going on, and when they were hung a pillar of incense, they saw Yuegui and said, "Sisters, go back first." Madame made things stumble today, and she could not see them. ”

Zheng Yingying muttered something in a low voice, she should be complaining.

A few people walked out of Anheju, but saw Aunt Guo wandering not far away, and when they saw Zheng Lingyi coming out, they hurriedly stepped forward and asked eagerly: "Sister, can you see my family fourteen?" ”

Zheng Yingying was going in the opposite direction, glanced at Aunt Guo and Zheng Lingyi, and left without much interest.

"Is the fourteenth sister in Anhe Curie? I didn't see her. Zheng Lingyi was a little surprised, subconsciously glanced in the direction of An Heju, and said to Aunt Guo very frankly.

"She didn't come back last night, I found a maid and asked, saying that I asked Mrs. to take it away, and I don't know why?"

Aunt Guo was at a loss, Zheng Lingyi saw it in her eyes, but she couldn't do anything.

"Why don't you ask Madame in person?" Zheng Lingyi said.

"You think I didn't go? When he arrived at the door, he was pushed out by the servants, and he must have been ordered by the above. ”

Aunt Guo was holding the handkerchief, and the sand under her feet was full of messy and broken footprints, obviously wandering back and forth for a long time.

Zheng Lingyi couldn't help with this kind of thing, Aunt Guo naturally knew this, no longer paid attention to Zheng Lingyi, and left them to go to the servants of Anheju to intercede.

"Sister, Qiaoluo and they are not feeling well, let's go back to accompany our mother earlier." Zheng Changchang said very well-behaved.

"Hmm." Zheng Lingyi turned around and saw Zheng Mianmian standing aside quite awkwardly, as if he wanted to leave, and wanted to wait for the two of them.

Zheng Lingyi smiled gently, stretched out his hand to Zheng Mianmian, and said, "Let's go." ”

She took the two girls and left, glanced at the door of Anheju, and happened to see the maid guarding the door letting Aunt Guo in.

Zheng Lingyi looked back and felt inexplicable, 'What the hell is going on?' ’

She was still wondering at this time, but in a few days, the matter would be known to the whole family.

Lu Congxin actually wanted to accept Zheng Qiuqiu as a concubine, this Lu family actually agreed, Zheng Yanxian didn't make a fuss, both ends were quiet, as simple as sending a plate of pastries to Lu Congxin.

This thing is too new, Aunt Wan is chattering about this thing, but every time she is talking about it, Aunt Jiang listens to it.

The people in Zheng Lingyi's house are even more strange in their hearts, this person who belongs to Lu Congxin has always been Zheng Lingyi.

Not to mention the pink jade jewelry, when Lu Congxin saw Zheng Lingyi that day, he only had one look, and even Lu Nong could see that something was wrong.

"The slave thinks this matter hasn't landed yet." After Aunt Wan left, Lu Nong said softly.

In fact, everyone has this layer of worry in their hearts, but they don't say it.

Qiao Luo also failed to get news from Yan'er, according to Yan'er, the atmosphere of Good Day and Curie these days is very strange, except for those first-class maids who are close to the master, no one else is allowed to approach the master, not even cleaning under the corridor.

This matter is even more strange, not to mention Lu Congxin and Zheng Qiuqiu, no matter how you look at it, there is no fate between husband and wife.

I only said that the concubines under the Lu family were not well married, but they did not fall to the point of being concubines!

What's more, if you marry this kind of kiss, you don't marry a concubine, and you have to give up a concubine to add to your head.

It is much easier to take a concubine than to marry, and after more than a month, Zheng Qiuqiu was taken to the Lu Mansion.

During this period, what makes people feel even more incredible is that Zheng Qiuqiu has never returned to Xiyuan during these days, and it seems that he went directly to Lu Mansion from Anheju.

'Everyone is already in Lu Mansion, and now the dust should have settled. Although the people in Zheng Lingyi's house didn't say anything, they all thought so in their hearts.

Now is the coldest time, last night, when Zheng Lingyi curled up in the quilt, he was half-asleep and half-awake and thought dimly, "Tomorrow, will it snow?" ’

She had a vague premonition that it would snow tomorrow and something bad would happen.

Zheng Lingyi's hunch is right and wrong.

In the middle of the night, there was a lot of snow, but when the morning came, the snow stopped, and the snow was almost up to people's ankles.

Zheng Changchang put on a middle coat made of velvet satin and couldn't wait to go to the courtyard to throw snowballs and play.

Zheng Qiuqiu was not there, and Zheng Mianmian played with the two sisters again, and they had a tacit understanding with each other not to mention the old discord.

It's just playing in the snow, and it's not really a snowball fight, so the snowball is so soft that it shatters when it touches a person, and the splashed snow droplets fly, as if it is snowing again.

A snowball touched Zheng Changchang's head, and the snow foam was finely stuck to the thin hair in front of her forehead, Zheng Changchang patted her hair with a smile, and her smile was as beautiful as a flower.

Zheng Lingyi sat under the porch with a hand stove, looking at Zheng Changchang's happy playfulness, and couldn't help but smile.

The black cat lay lazily by the door, looking at the two girls in the yard as if looking at a fool, the cat's tail wagged, and rubbed the charcoal basin tightly, although there were no eyes on the tip of the tail, but it never touched the charcoal basin.

It's a pity that this beautiful scene didn't last long, Zheng Lingyi saw Yuezhi appear from the gate of the courtyard out of the corner of his eye, the two looked at each other, strangely, Yuezhi didn't seem to want to disturb others, and stood far away and waved to Zheng Lingyi.

Zheng Lingyi's heart sank, but there was an inexplicable feeling of relaxation, and he walked towards the moon branch.

"Madame invites my sister to Anheju." Wolzhi Road.

Zheng Lingyi glanced back at Zheng Changchang in the courtyard, and she also looked at Zheng Lingyi, her eyes full of worry and incomprehension.

"Sister, don't you ask Madame what is your sister asking her to do?" Zheng Lingyi was silent all the way, but Yuezhi said it first.

"Shall we find out when we go? If Sister Yuezhi is willing to say it, it will be good. Zheng Lingyi said softly.

Yuezhi is the one who has been guarding Zheng Qiuqiu for the past few days, first listening to her crying in the room, and then being threatened by the Lu family, she was gagged again, and she could only cry for half a night, crying so much that she fainted.

She originally looked down on these concubines, but now this matter made Yuezhi really feel a little sorry for them, thinking of this, Yuezhi struggled for a long time, and said, "Uncle and Fourteenth Sister are back together." ”

"I just passed the house yesterday, and I haven't arrived in three days, what are you going to do when you come back?" Zheng Lingyi quickly reacted, and said: "Although there is no rule for concubines to return to the door in three dynasties, there is no reason why they passed through the door yesterday and returned to their parents' house today, right?" ”

Tsukizhi didn't speak, it seemed that he was talking about it.

Zheng Ling commented on her deliberately stiff face, knowing that she couldn't ask anything, thought about it, and whispered: "Is Daddy in Anhe Curie?" ”

Yuezhi glanced at her and said, "Grandpa Guo is resting today, and he happens to be here." ”

Zheng Lingyi breathed a sigh of relief, and the remaining half was still in his chest.

Yuezhi did not lead Zheng Lingyi to the front hall, but to a warm pavilion at the back.

Zheng Lingyi only came when he was serving the Lu family, and he was a little strange.

As soon as the door of the warm pavilion opened, everyone in the room turned their heads to look at Zheng Lingyi. As soon as she entered, Tsukizhi closed the door, as if she was afraid that the secret in the house would fly out.

Lu Congxin's eyes were red when he saw her, and his whole body was burning.

Zheng Lingyi was about to salute Zheng Guogong, when Lu Congxin suddenly rushed over, grabbed her shoulders and shouted: "You tell them that you were the one who talked to me in the courtyard that day!" You're the one I'm going to take! ”

Last night, he was full of anticipation, thinking that he had finally got what he wanted, and when he lifted his hijab, his heart suddenly felt like ashes, and he was about to collapse after a day of life.

Zheng Lingyi was in pain, pushed him away, ran behind Zheng Guogong to avoid Lu Congxin, put his trembling hand on his shoulder, and cried: "Daddy, daddy." ”

If Zheng Guogong hadn't been at a loss because of the ugly things Zheng Yanxian had done, even if he didn't value his concubine anymore, he would never tolerate Lu Congxin doing such rude things in front of his eyes!

Zheng Guogong patted Zheng Lingyi's hand to appease, turned his head to look at Zheng Lingyi and said to her: "The person who talked to your cousin in Dongqing Garden that day, is it you or your fourteenth sister?" ”

A tear in Zheng Lingyi's eyes happened to fall, she wiped it away very simply, did not put on a pitiful appearance, but looked at Lu Congxin with angry eyes, and said in a sonorous tone: "No! Cousin is ridiculous! ”

These days, Zheng Guogong was very aggrieved in front of Lu Congxin, but Zheng Lingyi's attitude made him satisfied.

"Did you hear what Fifteen said?"

Lu Congxin looked at Zheng Lingyi in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "It's clearly the same silver-red jacket, how can you say it's not you?" ”
