Chapter 324: Snow Peach
Although Brother Sheng knows Zheng Lingyi, after all, each doll has a different temperament, if Jiang Sheng can't see Zheng Lingyi for a while, as long as there is a familiar person around him, he will not cry to find Zheng Lingyi.
But Brother Sheng is not like this, that is, when Shen Qin took him to Wu's house to play, he still had to look at Shen Qin from time to time, and when he saw that she was staying there in a good manner, Brother Sheng was willing to continue to play with peace of mind.
Zheng Lingyi tried his best to play with Brother Sheng for a while, Brother Sheng covered his face and giggled for a while, then looked out the door, "Mother?" ”
"Mother will be back in a while, soon."
Zheng Lingyi is afraid that the child will make trouble for his mother, and he is just a little sick now, what if he cries and chokes on the air conditioner?
Brother Sheng went to the couch and picked up his small cloak and handed it to Zheng Lingyi, and said seriously: "Find your mother!" ”
There was a kind of momentum in his tone, Zheng Lingyi persuaded a few more words, Brother Sheng just couldn't listen, after all, he was still a child, and when he saw Zheng Lingyi's refusal, he ran to the door.
"Okay, good brother, wait for my aunt for a while."
Zheng Lingyi could only compromise, and when Brother Sheng saw that she agreed, she put on a cloak for herself and a hat for him.
Seeing that Zheng Lingyi stretched out his hand, he said, "Bury your face in your aunt's arms, and don't poke your head out to eat the cold wind, otherwise your aunt will be beaten." ”
Brother Sheng subconsciously covered his buttocks, nodded hurriedly, and as soon as he was picked up by Zheng Lingyi, he obediently buried his head in Zheng Lingyi's neck socket.
Zheng Lingyi walked along the corridor with Brother Sheng in his arms, he wanted to walk slowly, if he met Shen Qin coming back on the way, it would be better.
It's a pity that it backfired, her broken steps moved slowly, and she was still led by the maid to the gate of the Chen family's ancestor's courtyard, only to hear that Shen Qin was still inside, Zheng Lingyi turned around and wanted to leave, but Brother Sheng twisted his body in her arms to probe inside.
"This is Mrs. Wu." A slim girl came out of the courtyard, blessed Zheng Lingyi, and said, "I'm tired of bringing my brother along the way, so it's okay to come in and sit in the side hall." ”
This girl smiled before speaking, spoke decently, and her appearance was delicate and graceful, but her thick eyebrows were black without description, which made her feel a little more powerful.
Zheng Lingyi's heart moved, thinking of the Cai family's sister who the county lord asked her to pay attention to, nine times out of ten it was the one in front of her. A few days ago, she was embarrassed to ask Shen Qin, but she didn't expect to meet her today.
The Cai family is not a big family, although there are a few salt quotations in their hands, the family background is not thin, but they can be released all the year round, and in addition to the Chen family, there is no attachment in Beijing.
Although the county lord loves Zheng Qijun, he is not confused, he has to match him with a fairy-like character, and this Cai family sister is a good and safe choice.
Like Zheng Qijun, they have been fostered in a relative's house since childhood, the difference is that the Cai family's sister is still pampered in the Cai family, and it is not the Chen family who came to the Chen family when she can't go on, and she is also respected in the Chen family because she accompanies Mrs. Chen. From this point of view, Zheng Qijun is not as much as the Cai family's sister.
There were some arguments floating from inside the door, and Zheng Lingyi looked at the Cai family sister with some embarrassment, feeling that it was really not a good time for her to bring her child in at this time.
Sister Cai smiled again, the corners of her lips were raised, but her eyes were not bent, and she said generously: "Lips and teeth depend on each other, but it is inevitable to bump." ”
As she spoke, she took Brother Sheng over and hugged her, Brother Sheng knew that Shen Qin was inside, and a hundred of them were willing to ask her to hug her.
Zheng Lingyi had no choice but to follow in. Although she was arranged in the side hall, the noise in the main hall was louder, and if she wanted to listen to it, she could still listen to it for five or six minutes.
Zheng Lingyi had no choice but to peel peanuts, swallow melon seeds, and deliberately make some noise to cover up.
Seeing her like this, the Cai family's sister bent her eyes and smiled, and said to Brother Sheng, "Is it okay for my brother and cousin to go to see my grandmother and mother." ”
Brother Sheng didn't see Shen Qin, he was already pouting and making trouble, so he naturally said yes.
"Well, don't mix it with your children." Zheng Lingyi said hesitantly, after all, it was someone else's family matter, and she always felt a little lacking in confidence when she opened her mouth.
Sister Cai looked at Zheng Lingyi and blinked, her tone was gentle, but her attitude was very tough, and she said, "It's okay." ”
She also took care of Brother Sheng carefully, and then led him to the front hall.
Zheng Lingyi leaned against the door and watched them walk into the front hall, unable to guess what the Cai family sister wanted to do.
The peanuts and melon seeds were no longer in the mood to eat, so Zheng Lingyi simply went back to Shen Qin's yard to wait for her.
After waiting for about half an hour, Shen Qin came back with Brother Sheng, both of them were full beards and tails, and Shen Qin's face was fine, not like he had been subjected to any criticism. Chen Zhu seemed to have gone to the outer courtyard and was not by their side.
Zheng Lingyi greeted him and said, "What's the matter, what is going on with this one?" ”
Shen Qin asked the nurse to hold Brother Sheng in, hugged Zheng Lingyi and said: "It's okay, Chen Zhi's mother has felt very wronged in the past few days, and she has been crying and crying for no time, and her ancestors knew about it, and she was punished and knelt in the ancestral hall for a few days." The husband saw that she was getting old, and today she went to the ancestor to plead, but she didn't expect to be said to be ......
The words were a little ugly, Shen Qin was vague, and continued: "I don't know if other women are made of water, but she must be, the tears never stopped, and said that Sheng'er was raised by me, thinking that she must not be close to her, and talked to herself, saying that she would never see her grandson in the future." ”
Zheng Lingyi didn't want to say anything about Mrs. Chen, but said: "I didn't think Mrs. Chen was like this, eh, sentimental." ”
Shen Qin snorted and said, "It's that life is too good, she is indeed a very painful child, I heard people say that when she gave birth to her sister, she wanted to feed her." But I don't want to think about it, now this is a grandson, not a son! ”
"Then after the Cai family's sister took her brother in, nothing happened to the side, right?" Zheng Lingyi still felt a little weird.
Brother Sheng took a crumpled paper ball and ran over to show Shen Qin, Shen Qin coaxed him a few words, and said, "Even if you don't bring Sheng Er, the ancestor also mentioned him."
Mrs. Chen said to Mrs. Chen: "Since you are so relieved that the county lord can't take care of the child, then this child will be used by me every day for lunch and evening, and the county lord will also come to accompany my old woman who is half of her body in the ground." If you want to come, come. I didn't serve in the early years, but now I'm making up for it! ”
This was said very seriously, and Mrs. Chen was immediately silenced.
Shen Qin listened happily, so he agreed, and Mrs. Chen called Brother Sheng to the side and asked him if he would like to come here for dinner every day, and Brother Sheng agreed.
"What's the name of Sister Cai?" Zheng Lingyi asked again.
"It's called Juran, why do you keep asking her?" Shen Qin asked puzzled.
"But people are as good as their name suggests." Although Zheng Lingyi said this, he lowered his eyes and thought.
Zheng Lingyi said half a sentence and half a sentence, Shen Qin also tasted a little, and said: "I haven't seen much of that girl, but I can see that she is really dedicated to the old ancestor, and it was also her idea to ask Brother Sheng to come to the courtyard to ask him if he would like to stay in front of the old ancestor." I don't know if I'm getting married now, and I want to leave some popularity in the ancestral courtyard? That's it, two meals a day, let her be. ”
Shen Qin is generous, he never cares about the details, Zheng Lingyi can also understand Cai Qiran's filial piety, but there is always something awkward in his heart. Is such a smart and thoughtful personality compatible with Zheng Qijun? Can you make friends with each other?
Zheng Lingyi told Zheng Changchang about this long string of reasons, but Zheng Changchang looked at Zheng Lingyi with a smile in her eyes and joked: "I think this Cai family sister is very good, and it is very rare to have that filial piety that thinks about my grandmother." My sister shouldn't treat herself as a mother-in-law to pick her daughter-in-law, and she has some eggs and bones. ”
was said by Zheng Changchang like this, Zheng Lingyi was slightly stunned, and did not refute it immediately, but said: "The girl with a bad mouth actually said this about me." ”
However, being treated like this by Zheng Changchang, Zheng Lingyi also understood that he was a little preconceived, so he went to the county lord's mansion and told the county lord about this incident and Cai Qiran's appearance.
"It's a thoughtful one." The county lord seemed to be hesitating, but soon said: "One thinks more, and the other is more sparse, but it is worthy." ”
The county lord is already seven or eight points sure, but I am afraid that the Cai family will be a little reluctant because of Zheng Qijun's unexplained background. It is the two of them who will speak so bluntly about this matter.
"It's useless for us to sit here and think about it, or I'll find an opportunity to explore the Cai family's temperament, the housemother of the Cai family didn't go out with her, but she didn't come out and walk around much on weekdays, and she couldn't meet it easily." The county lord was worried about Zheng Qijun's marriage, but it was not sad, it was joyful.
Zheng Qijun came back from nowhere, saw Lu Nong outside the door, and knew that Zheng Lingyi was coming, so he called in all the way "sister" and "sister".
He took out two fresh peaches from his arms and put one in the hands of the county lord and Zheng Lingyi.
"This, where did you get the peaches on this cold day?"
The county lord and Zheng Lingyi were both confused by him, as if he was a powerful Sun Monkey who stole from the Jade Emperor's peach forest.
"This is a freshly bred species from the south, and it's called Snow Peach. This one peach sells for five taels! The men in my trading house brought them back from the south, and I rewarded the boss with some bumps, and these two were intact. ”
Zheng Qijun has just come back from the trading house, and there are a lot of goods on this trip, and he feels that he can sell them well, and he is in a good mood.
Looking at the two of them holding peaches as treasures, Zheng Qijun said, "Tsk, eat!" Isn't it rotten if you don't eat it? They washed the peaches. ”
Although this snow peach is expensive, it has not yet reached the point where it can't afford to eat, cut it into small pieces to expose the red and tender peach flesh inside, taste a mouthful of peach fragrance, crisp and refreshing, but it is really not a look that you can't eat. Zheng Lingyi nodded and said, "Some people buy this peach." ”
What about five taels of silver, there are many people in the capital who can afford to eat.
