Chapter XXVIII
Qiao Zhu is sick, and it seems to be quite serious.
Zheng Lingyi was very suspicious, in this Guogong Mansion, would anyone feel sad and worried because she was sick?
Regardless of whether there is it elsewhere or not, there will never be one in this East and West Garden anyway.
Although the daily greetings are still so uncomfortable, it is much better without the humiliation of Qiaozhu's mean mouth.
Danzhu promoted two maids, one named Yuezhi and the other Yuegui.
Yuezhi doesn't like to talk much, but if An He waits outside, she talks to others a few more words, and her slender eyes will scan over and look straight at you.
Yuegui is like another pretty Zhu, but her mouth is richer, and her temperament is more cautious.
Zheng Yangyang appeared in front of Zheng Lingyi every day, and he was the same as before, looking noble and silent.
The gaffe in the carriage that day seemed to be just a false bubble.
Aunt Wan's procrastinating days are finally clear, and Aunt Jiang doesn't like to take care of Aunt Ai anymore, every time she comes, Aunt Jiang always immediately 'feels uncomfortable' and wants to close the door.
The more this is the case, the more diligent Aunt Ai comes, and the more diligent she comes, the more suspicious Aunt Jiang becomes.
Although Aunt Jiang is pregnant and can't sleep, Zheng Guogong still comes to Xiyuan more, and before going to Aunt Wan's room, he will always come to Aunt Jiang's room to sit down.
The best pine mountain hair tip, the first bubble washes away the floating dust, mercilessly pours out, the second bubble in the white porcelain tea cup exudes a faint and secret fragrance.
Such a good tea, only when Zheng Guogong came, Qiao Luo could go to Brother Qing to ask for half a tael.
"Although the sister-in-law is expensive, I still look forward to the child in your belly, the fifth child is quite passable, but it is still difficult to support the brand of the Guogong Mansion. I won't mention Lao Shi's body, and the rest of it, I don't say you know. ”
Zheng Guogong probably drank a few more glasses at dinner, and when he came to Aunt Jiang's house, he still had some alcohol on his body, and he looked quite sober.
Qiao Luo smiled and said, "The slave maid went to get a plate of snacks." When he opened the door and saw that there was no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief, took a snack and hurried back.
Zheng Lingyi poured the chess pieces he was holding back into the chess box with a bang, and thought a little angrily, "Fortunately, this is Qiaoluo waiting, if what he said today reaches Lu's ears, how can we still live?" ’
She and Zheng Changchang sat on the futon and played chess pieces, Zheng Guogong originally thought that the two of them were playing Go, but he was shocked, but later learned that the two were playing 'a catch'.
Grab a chess piece, guess how many pieces there are, and whoever guesses the closest will get a jelly bean.
Zheng Guogong saw that the jelly beans in Zheng Lingyi's small bowl were one knuckle higher than Zheng Changchang's, and couldn't help but say, "Why don't you let my sister?" ”
"How boring is that?" Zheng Lingyi said without looking back, and Zheng Changchang also shook her head.
Touching a nail that was neither soft nor hard, Zheng Guogong was not annoyed at all, but looked at the back of the bulging head and laughed.
Aunt Jiang looked coquettish, but in fact, she called out nervously, "Fifteen! ”
Zheng Guogong waved his hand, signaling that Aunt Jiang didn't have to care.
His deepest impression of this daughter is that on the day she was born, he received a holy reward and allowed him to inherit the title of the grandfather of the country.
Zheng Guogong had good luck when he was young, bet on the right treasure, and won a dragon without much effort. But over the years, in addition to teaching several princes, he has not made any achievements.
The title of the Duke of Guo has not been determined for a long time, and his heart is as anxious as cooking oil.
When I heard about this reward that day, I was overjoyed, and I happened to hear Zheng Yanru say that Xiyuan had a new sister, so I was rarely interested in asking a few more words, and gave a name - 'Zheng Lingyi'.
Ling, is the meaning of good character.
Meaning, the perception of people in all things is the meaning, and the attitude of people in all things is the meaning.
The name Lingyi is enough for the boy.
Zheng Guogong still remembered that after he asked people to go to Xiyuan to spread the word, the Lu family was obviously not happy.
Originally, the names of those concubines were taken by the aunts themselves, and they knew that the Lu family didn't like the concubines to be too showy, and the names were also rustic, what Chuchu, seedlings, and Yingying, which sounded no different from the daughters of the farmers outside.
In the end, it doesn't matter what it is, Zheng Guogong doesn't care, but he is in a good mood, so what's wrong with appreciating a name?
Although he thought so in his heart, Zheng Guogong didn't dare to say that, so he had to coax: "Lingyi, Lingyi, let it fit your heart, okay?" ”
Zheng Guogong rarely coaxed the Lu family so gently and carelessly, and the Lu family was overjoyed, so he didn't hold on to the name and refused to let it go.
Zheng Guogong named his daughter, why did he have to look at Lu's face?
Just because of the will of the saints, if half of it is said to be for the sake of Zheng Guogong's diligence and rules, then the other half is for the sake of Lu Weiyin's face.
Lu Weiyin's credit is neither in the court nor on the battlefield, but in a place where the light is not visible, and there can be many rewards in secret, but the rewards on the surface have no reason, so they can only be given to Zheng Guogong.
Zheng Guogong only knew that he was working for the saint, but the others didn't dare to ask more, but he couldn't be vigilant in front of Lu Weiyin, and even turned a blind eye to what Lu did in the back house.
None of this concubine was born, and Zheng Guogong is not a fool, so he naturally knows what the reason is.
In the past, when I saw that the sons-in-law had grown up one by one, whether the concubine had or not, Zheng Guogong pretended not to see it.
But among these sons-in-law, none of them are outstanding, and Zheng Guogong has to look forward to his son-in-law.
Although Zheng Rong'an said that it was okay, you must know that the only descendant who can enter the eyes of Zheng Guogong in this Manchu Dynasty is the saint's own nephew, Shen Baiyan, the son of the world.
Shen Baiyan grew up under the watchful eye of Zheng Guogong since he was a child, Wen Taowu is slightly refined, and even his appearance and bearing are far better than his three relatives.
If he can make his son and Shen Baiyan fall off one by one, Zheng Guogong will burn incense and worship the Buddha for the rest of his life, and he will be a vegetarian every day!
Thinking about it, Zheng Guogong sighed again, and without waiting for Aunt Jiang to ask, he touched Aunt Jiang's belly, got up and planned to go to Aunt Wan's house.
Qiao Luo lightly opened the door for Zheng Guo, only to see the green at the door.
She took a few steps back in a panic, leaned her back against the pillar of Zhu, and hurriedly saluted Zheng Guogong.
Zheng Guogong straightened up, frowned, and said, "It's just presumptuous!" ”
Brother Qing and Mama Gu in Xiyuan, Mama Bu and Yin Niang in Dongyuan are all Lu's eyeliner, and Zheng Guogong knows this.
But now, this half-old maid dares to come to listen to her corner, how can Zheng Guogong bear it?
He saw that Qiao Luo looked like he wanted to reprimand but didn't dare to reprimand, so he said, "Call your big girl in charge." ”
Brother Qing learned that Zheng Guogong was coming today, so he stayed in the dark early, waiting to see whose house he went to, so that he could report it to the Lu family.
Although the green behavior was a little reckless, Brother Qing also acquiesced.
Seeing that the gaffe was becoming more and more out of control, Brother Qing made a look of passing by, and walked over from the corridor with a surprised face.
"Guogong......
"Fifty boards, you don't have to wait here." Before Brother Qing finished speaking, Zheng Guogong had already given an order.
"Guogong......
"Aren't you going to suffer for her?" Zheng Guogong glanced at Brother Qing, and walked towards Aunt Wan's house.
The door of the room was opened, and everyone could hear Zheng Guogong's words clearly, although the back house was the territory of the Lu family, but Zheng Guogong personally threw away the punishment, and no one dared not listen to it!
Green Yi trembled, frightened by this sudden change and even forgot to beg for mercy, she suddenly pointed at Qiaoluo, and said hoarsely: "You hurt me, you hurt me!" ”
Brother Qing was afraid that she would quarrel with Zheng Guogong again, so he quickly slapped her and said, "Do you still think that Grandpa Guo has less punishment?" ”
Luyi stumbled and fell to the ground, covering her face and crying.
Qiao Luo knelt down in front of Brother Qing, pressed his chest with his hand, and said eagerly: "Sister Brother Qing, I don't know where to start with Luyi, can I still let her listen to the corner?" ”
Aunt Jiang was a little anxious and surprised and stood against the door frame, but she didn't open her mouth to help Qiaoluo.
Brother Qing was annoyed when he saw her stomach, and staggered his eyes to Lu Yi and said, "What's going on?" ”
Lu Yi pointed at Qiao Luo and said, "She, she just deliberately told my grandfather that she would come today and talk to her aunt." ”
Qiao Luo didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and said very embarrassedly: "Auntie is pregnant, Grandpa Guo is naturally here to talk to her, otherwise, what else would you do?" ”
Lu Yi was speechless, and even Brother Qing shook his head and said, "After receiving the punishment, go back to your mother." Grandpa Guo spoke, and I couldn't do it. ”
"Brother Qing, now that I'm pregnant and there is no one to serve, let's let the green stay for a few more days." Aunt Jiang smiled carefully and said.
Lu Yi looked at Aunt Jiang in disbelief, Brother Qing laughed without emotion, and said, "Aunt is very self-aware, but are you qualified to refute Grandpa Guo's words?" ”
Before Aunt Jiang spoke, Brother Qing still had a gap in his heart, thinking that maybe he could ask the Lu family to open his mouth and leave greenery.
As soon as Aunt Jiang spoke, Brother Qing felt that Lu Yi's reckless temperament would do more harm than good to stay here, so it was better to send it back to the outer courtyard and be quieter.
This idea in her heart was so hidden that she didn't even notice it.
Lu Yi asked Brother Qing to take it to receive the punishment, and Aunt Jiang saw that the two of them were drifting apart, so she hurriedly glanced at Qiaoluo, who was still kneeling on the ground.
The master and servant quietly returned to the house and closed the door, and they leaned their backs against the door and looked at each other quietly.
Zheng Lingyi was still sitting on the futon, but he pulled the stool on the side, his arm was across the stool, his chin rested on his arm, his eyes flashed, he looked innocent and innocent, and said softly: "Luyi is solved, what about Aunt Ai?" ”
Aunt Jiang didn't seem to be at ease, and said: "Actually, Luyi's intentions are obvious, and it's not a bad thing, if Mrs. changes her thoughts, how can it be good?" ”
"She dares to conspire with Aunt Ai and wants to push you into the pool, how can she endure it anymore?" Zheng Lingyi said coldly.
This happened two days ago.
