Chapter 23: The Second Sister

Aunt Ai has always liked to run to Aunt Jiang recently, and there is nothing to do when she comes, just gossip.

The friendship between Aunt Ai and Aunt Jiang is only the red cloak.

Her enthusiastic look made Aunt Wan a little surprised, as if she was the best sister who had the most friendship with Aunt Jiang.

In the afternoon of this day, Aunt Ai came again, with a plate of brown sugar rice cakes.

This is Aunt Wan's favorite snack, and for the sake of the pastry, she is also a little polite to Aunt Ai.

"Sister Jiang, you can eat a piece too." Seeing that Aunt Wan had eaten a lot in a row, Aunt Ai seemed to be a little displeased and said.

"Just eat a few pieces of your snack, I'm stingy." Aunt Wan whispered.

Her voice was very small, only Aunt Jiang heard it, she smiled gently, and as soon as she picked up the brown sugar rice cake and took a bite, she saw Brother Qing appear at the door, followed by four little maids.

Brother Qing was just a maid, but a few aunts and sisters still quickly stood up.

Brother Qing reluctantly bent his knees, still with a dead fish face, glanced at Zheng Lingyi and Zheng Changchang, and said, "Madame is kind and has given a few little maids to serve the sisters." Green, green, come to see the sister you will serve in the future. ”

Two little maids who looked four or five years older than Zheng Lingyi stepped forward, one with a round face and big eyes, who seemed to be nervous, and there were beads of sweat on their foreheads.

The other is a small face with a sharp and narrow face, and the eyes are rolling around, looking like a troublesome person.

"The slave has seen the sisters." The two maids said in unison, and stood behind Zheng Lingyi and Zheng Changchang.

Behind Zheng Lingyi is the green with a round face, and Zheng Changchang is the green with a narrow face.

Brother Qing saw that Aunt Wan was also here, so he ordered a little maid called Purple Heart and stood behind Zheng Mianmian.

The rest of the little maid is probably Zheng Qiuqiu's personal maid.

These maids stood behind the sisters, with an extra pair of eyes staring at them, and an extra pair of arms that shackled them.

The sisters of Xiyuan have a new maid, and the sisters of Dongyuan are also indispensable.

Aunt Ai obviously couldn't sit still, so she hurriedly said goodbye, leaving everyone in the room to look at each other.

"You guys come out with me, and you need to tell me a few words about something." Qiao Luo said to these little maids.

"Qiaoluo, Zixin is also bothering you to give me a few words." Aunt Wan said.

The other two maids didn't say anything, but Lu Yi looked disdainful, as if she wanted to say something, but seeing that she was a newcomer, she put up with it first.

As soon as the three little maids left, everyone was relieved.

Aunt Wan said, "Why is Madam so kind? ”

"Sisters, in the end, it's too big, there are no maids around, so others have seen the jokes." Although Aunt Jiang said this, her face didn't seem to be so relaxed.

Aunt Wan leaned closer and said lightly, "Why didn't you give us the deed?" Qiaoxiu and Qiaoluo were still given. ”

The corners of Aunt Jiang's mouth twitched slightly, and she whispered: "The deeds of these maids are not in our hands." At that time, the old lady was still a director, and there was a matter of the second sister, so it was the old lady who came forward to help us get the maid deed. You just got in the door, so you caught up too. Now that the old lady has gone, who has pressed the lady? ”

Only then did Aunt Wan know that there was still this kind of talk, so she said: "Sister, you also mentioned the second sister last time, why didn't the second sister have it?" ”

Seeing Aunt Jiang's hesitant look, Zheng Lingyi went to close the door.

Aunt Jiang was silent for a moment and said, "That's it." Listen to it, and learn a lesson. ”

The second sister and the eldest sister Zheng Yanhui are only one year apart, and when it comes to their appearance and figure, although the second sister is a little less plump, she has a little more bones.

When Zheng Yan returned to discuss her relatives, the old lady also asked the Lu family to take the second sister out to meet more people.

The old lady spoke, and Lu didn't dare to disobey.

At that time, the Lu family looked down on the grandson of Chen University, the Chen Mansion was full of clear streams, and all generations were civil officials, and there were many in-laws.

The daughter-in-law of Scholar Chen also became the daughter-in-law of Prime Minister Lin, and Prime Minister Lin's son-in-law was Song Ling, the general of Zhenxi.

Although the name of the Guogong Mansion is loud, but in real terms, there is no stable Chen Mansion that has come.

When he was discussing marriage with the Chen Mansion, his grandson actually fell in love with the second sister!

Seeing that the Lu family did not allow it, Chen Gongzi thought that the Lu family was afraid that he would let the second sister be a concubine, so he asked his mother to bring a message, saying that he would marry the second sister as his wife.

As soon as these words came out, the Lu mother and daughter were even more furious, and Zheng Yan also ordered the maid to hit the second sister's face with a bamboo piece, so that she had to be disfigured.

As soon as the old lady left, she waterboarded the second sister, forcing the second sister to commit suicide in shame.

The old lady found out about it, but it was the hand of the second sister's maid, and it had nothing to do with An Heju.

But everyone knows who wrote it, and the old lady forced the Lu family to hand over the maid's deed to her aunt for safekeeping.

"The second sister and aunt went early, and there were two years left to grow up next to the old lady, but with the favor of the old lady, she couldn't get a good marriage, and even died because of it."

After Aunt Jiang finished talking about the second sister, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

"Chen Gongzi, he didn't marry the eldest sister in the end." Aunt Wan said suddenly.

Aunt Jiang nodded and said, "Gongzi Chen, it seems that he only got married last year. In fact, this deed is not of much use, and our own deed is not in the hands of Mrs.? If the ladies still refuse to give the deed when the sisters get married, then it will be true. ”

After hearing this past incident, Zheng Changchang and Zheng Mianmian were both a little scared, only Zheng Lingyi lowered his eyes and thought a little mockingly, "There is still a little sincerity in this story, but it is this sincerity that forced the second sister to die." ’

She thought of Lu Congxin again, she knew that he was not the kind of prodigal son, and she was also confused by the Lu family, and she didn't know that she was in a difficult situation.

But if he harms himself, he will pay for it with ten true hearts, and he doesn't want it!

Lu Congxin lived in the house for more than ten days, and his mother's relatives missed him very much, but Lu Congxin showed a little intention to go back, and Lu Congxin sighed for a long time, making it difficult for Lu Congxin to speak.

The Qi family came to ask for someone in person, and was sneered at by the Lu family, just because this Qi family was selected by the Lu family's mother-in-law for Lu Weiyin, and his talent was average, and his family background was not obvious, so he was of no help to Lu Weiyin.

In recent years, relying on Lu Congxin's struggle, he has some status in the Lu Mansion, but in front of the Lu family, he still doesn't even dare to come out.

Lu's is like this, the wind wants the wind to be the wind and the rain to be rainy.

However, there is still one person who can cure her, Zheng Guogong's sister Ruiyang County Lord.

Every year in late summer and early autumn, the lord of Ruiyang County will come to the Guogong Mansion to stay for a few days.

Those days were the most difficult time of the year for the Lu family.

And those days were also Aunt Jiang's delivery period.

When Aunt Jiang thought of this, she was extremely happy in her heart, and secretly asked Qiaoluo to prepare a pair of inducing decoctions, and she must let the child be born when the county lord of Ruiyang was in the house, so that it would be more vigorous.

While the master and servant were whispering, Lu Yi suddenly pushed open the door, walked in with a big grin, and walked in with a stack of clothes, and walked towards the side pavilion.

"Why are you so unruly?" Qiao Luo was startled and immediately reprimanded.

Lu Yi turned around, smiled ambiguously and disdainfully, and said, "What are aunts and sisters Qiaoluo talking about unsightly whispers?" Do you want to close the door in the middle of the day? ”

"You!" Qiaoluo was so angry with her that she was speechless.

Green Yi pushed the door to the side pavilion freely, but saw that the door was also locked.

"Yo, that's a lot of unsightly things." Green Yin and Yang said weirdly.

As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened.

Zheng Ling's opinion was green, and he smiled very brightly, and said, "Sister Fang Cai is relieving her hands, and it is inconvenient to open the door." You go in and put down your clothes, and take Gong Bucket out by the way, right? ”

"Shall I pour a bucket?" Green said incredibly.

Zheng Lingyi tilted his head, looked at Qiao Luo with some confusion, and then looked at Luyi, and said, "Me? ”

Luyi's face was a little ugly, and he was reluctant to be blessed, and changed his words: "Slave." ”

Zheng Lingyi smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, it's okay to be quick for a while, just change it slowly." ”

Lu Yi froze and didn't move, Zheng Lingyi was a little puzzled and gentle, "Huh? With a sigh, he bit his lower lip, approached Luyi and said softly: "Sister Luyi, if you don't want to serve in Xiyuan, I can go and tell Madame, I have self-knowledge, and I really don't have a good errand here." ”

Zheng Lingyi's tone was extremely gentle, even with a little humble flattery, but when it fell into Lu Yi's ears, it was inexplicably like a threat.

Lu Yi didn't know why, so he subconsciously said: "No, no, the slave is willing to serve here." ”

Zheng Lingyi laughed sincerely and said, "Then it's troublesome Sister Luyi." ”

When Lu Yi walked out of the door with a bucket, he realized that the purpose of his coming here was not to serve people! It's a pair of eyes that come to be an Anheju!

She thought with fighting spirit, and couldn't help but be a little louder when she walked, and saw Mama Gu and Brother Qing coming over from a distance, completely forgetting the gong bucket she was holding in her hand, and hurriedly walked over.

The two people on the opposite side saw Lu Yi walking with Gong Bucket in his arms, and they were naturally extremely disgusted, and immediately walked from the porch to the courtyard, not wanting to touch her.

Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt aggrieved.

This scene made Lu Nong see clearly, she didn't say anything, just entered the house with a teapot.

Aunt Jiang and Qiao Luo were doing their work, and when they saw Lu Nong enter the house, they put down the tea and stood by the door, standing quietly with their eyes down, like a peaceful and self-conscious person.

However, this made Aunt Jiang more worried, who knows what kind of heart is buried under the honest skin?

She never entered the house without permission, and she didn't talk too much and listen too much.

I just love to sweat, and I have to change two or three of my veils every day, which is often called a green joke.

"Green." Qiao Luo beckoned to her and said with a smile: "Accompany me to play the rope." ”

Lu Nong was stunned for a moment, then he also moved a small pestle and sat down, his fingers flying very familiarly.

Seeing Qiao Luo and Aunt Jiang looking at her, she smiled embarrassedly and said, "In the past, when I was at home, I also had to do these copper plates, and I would do it." ”

She looked very silly when she laughed, and Qiao Luo couldn't help but feel a little good, and said, "Cheng, I will save all the money for you as a dowry." ”

Green blushed, lowered his head and didn't speak, but he couldn't help but be funny.
