Chapter 5 Watching the Theater

Zheng Chuchu's face was completely lost in one sentence, her face was flushed, but she didn't dare to bow her head, so she could only stiffen her neck and let people see the jokes.

Everyone else knew that she was embarrassed, and lowered their eyes and didn't look at her, only Zheng Qiuqiu and Zheng Yanxian blinked and watched the excitement.

"Okay, after the banquet, when I ask the third sister to come over and talk to the ladies, you can come over too." Lu's words are like gold ingots that fell from the past, which makes people unbelievable.

Zheng Chuchu was overjoyed and almost didn't cry, but Zheng Yanru just frowned, looking reluctant.

Although Zheng Lingyi lowered his head humbly, he could collect the changes in their expressions in his eyes.

She suddenly remembered Aunt Jiang's common rebuke to herself, 'Don't be in the middle of not knowing the blessings!' ’

Aunt Jiang often said to Zheng Lingyi that there are some poor women outside who have a big belly and have to work on the ridges under the scorching sun!

Zheng Lingyi knew that she was not the most bitter person in the world, but she looked at Zheng Chuchu and Zheng Yanru's completely different reactions, and suddenly wanted to ask Zheng Yanru.

'Third sister, do you know how blessed you are? ’

After the opening of the banquet, the east side hall was also lively.

The Lu family didn't want the concubine to be too unpresent, but he didn't like the concubine to be too public.

After greeting each other, it is best to eat quietly.

Zheng Lingyi and Zheng Changchang sat between Zheng Yangyang and Zheng Chuchu.

After Dan Zhu came to pass the word, Zheng Chuchu went to the West Hall with Zheng Yanru, and Zheng Yangyang was not willing to speak. Zheng Lingyi just happened to be quiet, just take care of Zheng Changchang.

She sandwiched a piece of fish with prickly into Zheng Changchang's bowl, and also sandwiched a small piece of crispy meat herself, and ate it slowly.

If the little girl on the table is beautiful, there is only that one.

Zheng Lingyi looked at this beautiful sister with some curiosity, listening to her talk to others, she was the daughter of General Song, and she listened to the young lady next to her call her, childish.

This Miss Song smiled even better, and Zheng Lingyi kept secretly looking at her until Zheng Chuchu sat down again.

Zheng Chuchu's eyebrows and eyes were full of spring, as if there was some great joy, and he also gave Zheng Lingyi a bowl of meatballs quite enthusiastically.

Between the concubines, they have always taken care of themselves, and Zheng Lingyi was a little flattered and whispered thanks to Zheng Chuchu.

Zheng Chuchu hummed a minor tune gently, her biological mother, Aunt Qiu, was originally the first to sing a minor tune in the teahouse, although she was a performer and not a person, but it was not a decent thing in the end.

Since entering the mansion, he has been repaired a few times by the Lu family, and he has never sung in front of people again.

Although Zheng Chuchu's minor tune was only heard by Zheng Lingyi alone, she still felt that it was inappropriate, hesitated again and again, and remembered the reason that Aunt Jiang wanted her to be alone, but she still did not open her mouth to dissuade her.

The chicken soup and dumplings on this table taste really good, and if the maid and aunt want to eat this dish on weekdays, there is only one way to dream.

Zheng Lingyi spooned one into Zheng Changchang's bowl, and Zheng Changchang whispered to her: "Sister, look, there is my aunt's favorite golden cake." ”

Zheng Lingyi looked up and saw that the plate of golden cakes was resting on the corner of the table farthest away from them, so he turned to Qiao Luo and said, "Qiao Luo, give me two pieces of gold cakes." ”

Qiao Luo smiled, revealing the two small nests on her cheeks, she knew that Zheng Lingyi didn't like to eat golden cakes, she must be thinking about her aunt!

So he took a small white porcelain dish and got two pieces for Zheng Lingyi.

Zheng Lingyi was about to wrap the clean cloth and take it back to Aunt Jiang to eat, but she saw Zheng Qiuqiu looking at herself with compassion, as long as she hid the golden cake, she would have trouble!

Zheng Lingyi knew that Zheng Qiuqiu was a brainless prick! Aunt Jiang often told her not to conflict with Zheng Qiuqiu.

It's just that this golden cake can't be brought back.

This Zheng Qiuqiu and Aunt Guo, regardless of their appearance or temperament, are poured out of that mold.

The same hanging tips and long eyes, willow leaves and curved eyebrows, I can't say how beautiful they are, but the style at the corners of the eyebrows and eyes is like a fox becoming a fine!

With this look, there is no third person in the courtyard except for their mother and daughter.

It's just because this Aunt Guo was picked by the Lu family.

Look at the other aunts, all the ones that Zheng Guogong picked back by himself are all gentle and gentle, tender and water-like appearance and charm.

After the Lu family gave birth to the thirteenth master Zheng Rongli, he injured his body and could no longer serve the grandfather of the country.

The Lu family was reluctant in every way, and she had to pick a little beautiful one from the maids under her, but she didn't want to obey Grandpa Zheng Guo's wishes, so she chose Aunt Guo.

Speaking of which, Grandpa Guo still looked at Lu's face, so he spoiled Aunt Guo for the first time.

Aunt Guo does have some skills, and Zheng Guogong has stayed in her room for several days, but although she is fresh, she can't stand Zheng Guogong's nostalgia!

If this Aunt Guo is compared to the elbow of the oily meat, then the other aunts are the white grains of rice.

Even eating elbows for a few days is a pleasure, but I can't stand it if I don't stick to my favorite rice.

Turning his head, Zheng Guogong still ate the white rice he liked.

The Lu family also disliked Aunt Guo's uselessness, so he abandoned her.

Zheng Lingyi knew these things very well in his heart.

It's not that she is a big ghost and asks around, but from Aunt Wan and Aunt Jiang.

According to the temperament of these two people, they will never pass this gossip to the ears of the children, but sometimes after the children fall asleep, they will do some needlework together to make up for it.

The needlework is boring, and the night is quiet and grinding, the two will inevitably gossip to pass the time, where do they know that Zheng Lingyi is sober?

Zheng Lingyi knew that Aunt Guo's mother and daughter were in a good situation, and their situation was no better than that of herself and Aunt Jiang.

It's just that their own eyes are blackened and they can't see clearly!

There was a sound of withdrawal in his ears, Zheng Lingyi looked at the two golden cakes on the table, and his heart was sour.

After the feast, it's time for the play.

The stage is set up on the edge of the theater building behind the east side hall, the male guests and female relatives sit on both sides, and the middle of the aisle is separated by several screens, and no one can see anyone.

When the guests all sat down next to each other, it was their turn to sit behind the official wives.

This is Zheng Yanxian's birthday, and the first play was naturally ordered by her. She was a girl's family, and she actually ordered a "Luo Cheng Called Guan".

Zheng Lingyi was still a little confused at the beginning, and when he saw the little student who played Luo Cheng, he felt a little familiar.

Coincidentally, sitting next to her was Zheng Yingying, the twelfth mother, who was a real drama fan.

"Twelfth sister, why do I think this little student is a little familiar?" Zheng Lingyi gently knocked open a melon seed and asked.

Zheng Yingying's long, pointed eyes stared straight at the singing and playing on the stage, and she was reluctant to let go for a moment.

She didn't eat as elegantly as Zheng Lingyi, her teeth snapped open the melon seeds, her tongue took away the melon seeds, and the skin of the melon seeds was removed.

If she knocks for a long time, she can knock off half of the jar.

"Fifteen, what kind of eyes do you have? Isn't the third sister's birthday "Catch and Release Cao" sung by him? and the "Luoshen" on the birthday of the sixth sister last year, which he also sang. ”

Zheng Yingying spit out the skin of melon seeds as she spoke, her teeth were not beautiful, and they were crooked, but now they are all knocking out of the gap.

"Why is he singing it all back? It's not a famous character. Zheng Lingyi was puzzled.

Zheng Yingying laughed, shook her head, and pretended to be deep: "You." Too young. Some people watch plays, just watch plays, such as me. Some people watch a play, but it's not a play, it's a little white face! ”

In the second half of the sentence, Zheng Yingying said it in Zheng Lingyi's ear, and her tone was extremely contemptuous.

Zheng Yingying didn't break it, but Zheng Lingyi couldn't help but glance at Zheng Yanxian.

Zheng Yanxian sat next to Lu's, and could only see her focused and excited side face, her eyes full of spring, and she gave a good call to the stage from time to time.

Zheng Lingyi didn't say anything, only silently stuffed a green olive into her mouth, and the veil blocked the ups and downs of her cheeks, and also blocked the sneer at the corner of her mouth.

She grew up in the back house when she was a child, and except for a few brothers, she has seen only a handful of men.

Zheng Guogong is a little older, his face is full of wrinkles, and he can't see anything that looks good or not.

When Lu's brother Lu Weiyin came to the Guogong Mansion, these concubines also went to see the ceremony.

His eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Lu's, but he has a square face, which is full of manliness, but Zheng Lingyi doesn't think he looks good or bad.

There is also Lu Weiyin's sister-in-law, Lu Congxin, who looks good, has a gentle temperament, and when he comes, he will bring a little sweet snack to the concubines, which always makes Zheng Yanxian unhappy.

In addition, there are the actors on the stage with oil paint on their faces.

These are all 'white faces', but the white ones can't see their original appearance.

Zheng Lingyi lacked interest in watching the play, and fell asleep after a while.

Zheng Changchang even fell asleep on her shoulder.

This play will be lively until the second half of the night.

In the second half of the night, all the people on the stage were apprentices, and those who watched the play were all subordinates, which can be regarded as Lu's grace.

Seeing that Zheng Chuchu and Zheng Yangyang were gone, Qiaoluo saw that the sleepy eyes of the two little masters were empty, so he also led the two back to Xiyuan.

From a distance, I saw Aunt Jiang looking forward to it at the gate of Xiyuan.

Seeing that her two daughters came back, Aunt Jiang let go of her hanging heart.

Every time she went back to the front yard, she always had to be afraid, for fear that they would say something wrong or do something wrong, and always give them a thousand instructions, which made the two children nervous and unpresentable, and fell asleep as soon as they entered the door.

Aunt Jiang and Qiao Luo fetched water to scrub the two children, and suddenly heard Zheng Lingyi muttering in his sleep: "Auntie, I haven't eaten." ”

Aunt Jiang smiled: "What did this kid say? ”

Qiao Luo understood in his heart, so he told Aunt Jiang about the golden cake.

Aunt Jiang threw the dirty handkerchief into the copper basin with some vigor, splashing some water beads, she was silent for a while, then lowered her head and rubbed the handkerchief, and washed a basin of water floating with yellow powder.

"My daughters are all good, but Aunt Guo, I don't know how to teach the children. Obviously, they are all the same difficulties, but she has to give us a look, and she just has such a temperament, and she also teaches her children to be virtuous. ”

Qiao Luo covered the two children with quilts, got up and said to Aunt Jiang: "How can you guess the thoughts of others?" Let's just keep our two children alive. Auntie, it's late at night. You should go to bed early, too. ”

When Qiao Luo went out with dirty water, he looked up and saw the moon in the night sky plump like a girl's face.

She lowered her head and saw the moon swaying in the basin of water, and thought to herself a little gloomily, "It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days." ’
