Chapter 219: The Outer Courtyard Chief
Since that night rain, there has been no snow in the city, but the Wu family is white from top to bottom, even like snow.
Wu Yongan and Wu Punishment both took leave in Dali Temple, Wu Yongan's eyes were fascinated by incense ash last night, and he cried too hard, so he was swollen like a longevity peach, and he still didn't get good after applying a hot cloth for a long time.
The doctor prescribed medicine for his eyes, and let him apply it for a day, and he would be able to see well, but he would not be able to show his face.
Wu Zhi had no choice but to take up the burden, preside over the overall situation with Zheng Lingyi, and greet relatives and friends who came to mourn.
is both an in-law and a world friend, Zheng Guogong came in time, in addition to Wu Rouxiang, he also brought Zheng Changchang with him.
Wu Rouxiang cried so much that everyone softened, and she had to rely on two maidservants to support her all the way.
Zheng Guogong sighed and said, "How can a white-haired person send a black-haired person?" A good eldest son, why did he suddenly go. β
"Who would have expected an emergency at night?"
Wu Zhi was silent, Zheng Lingyi was afraid that Zheng Guogong would be suspicious, so he had to say this, could he tell the truth, even Wu Yongjun's face after his death was torn apart, Zheng Lingyi was not disgusted with him so far.
"I'll go see your father." Zheng Guogong patted Wu Zhi's shoulder, and said to Zheng Changchang: "Accompany your sister here." β
Wu Zhi clenched his fists and bowed and said, "Dad, go slowly." β
Zheng Guogong looked at Wu Zhuyingwu's figure and nodded with satisfaction.
After Zheng Guogong left, the Qiao family and the Wan family also came, Cuilong greeted him, and after the incense, he led the female dependents to the inner courtyard.
Zheng Lingyi also stood all morning, instructed his subordinates to deliver the news, and bought the sundries that were missing from the white wedding, and Qiao's made a fuss to do things again, in fact, there was no need to rush this matter, but Cuilong kept staring at the side, as if Zheng Lingyi didn't care, it was really thankless.
She settled the monks in charge of the excess, walked to the lobby, and saw that Wu Zhengzheng ordered Zhen Xin to drag a small servant away, and the little servant begged for mercy again and again, and was stunned by Zhen Xin's very impatient hand knife.
The subordinates on the side secretly watched, and Wu Zhi raised his eyes, and hurriedly buried his head in work.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Ling looked puzzled as Zhen Xin dragged people away and asked.
Wu Zhi frowned and said coldly: "Mr. Zhong in the account room of the outer courtyard received the Dian Yi in the morning, and just left for a while, and when he came back, he found that two taels of silver were missing. The thief thought that he would not find out if he was missing......
"As everyone knows, the old man is stupid and dull by nature, and he is the only one who is most sensitive to this silver. Feel. Mr. Zhong interjected playfully.
Zheng Lingyi looked at him and saw that he was middle-aged, and it was tiring to sit hard all morning, so he said to Luzhu: "Go and make a cup of red date and ginseng soup for Mr. Zhong." β
"Some more pastries, I'm hungry." The young man beside Mr. Zhong said.
This person Zheng Lingyi also just met, and he is Mr. Zhong's youngest son, named Zhong Lin.
Lu Zhu thought for a while and said, "Then just make some red date longan soup, and then lie down an egg, and eat it hot, okay?" β
Zhong Lin said yes repeatedly, grinned at the green beads, and was immediately knocked on the head by Mr. Zhong.
"It's rude." Mr. Zhong said to Zheng Lingyi.
Zhong Lin touched her head stupidly, Zheng Lingyi smiled kindly, and sat down in the hall with Wu Punishment, she was busy for a long time, although she was not tired, but she also felt that her legs were sore.
Wu Xian just sat down for a while, and then asked Zhen Xin to call him away, Zheng Lingyi couldn't help but sigh, who would have thought that it would be the couple who would come out today?
Zheng Lingyi just got free to drink half a cup of tea, the Gao family came again, if a friend came to the door, he could still ask the steward to lead, but such a close relative, Zheng Lingyi couldn't turn a blind eye, and hurriedly greeted him.
She accompanied Mrs. Gao to wipe a few tears of the faΓ§ade, and greeted her hypocritically, Mrs. Gao wiped her face with good makeup, and wondered, "Why did you let you be alone here, your sister-in-law was lazy?" β
Zheng Lingyi smiled and said: "Sister-in-law is naturally child-oriented now, my father-in-law doesn't want her to work, I don't understand anything, I temporarily 'put on armor' to go into battle, and I rely on the old people in this courtyard to take care of it for me." β
Zheng Lingyi said, glanced at Mr. Zhong, and then looked at the housekeeper who was busy with his work.
Hearing her being so modest, Mrs. Gao could only smile and say, "It's already very appropriate." β
She sat down a little again, and said that she was going to see Gao Manyi, and Zheng Lingyi also smiled and said yes.
Lu Zhu was coming back with two bowls of sweet soup to replenish her body, she was greedy for a while, both bowls were full, she didn't dare to walk fast, and she walked slowly.
She concentrated on holding the sweet soup, and when she noticed that a few people were coming in front of her, she hurriedly stepped aside.
The maid walked past her with the woman in her arms, not paying attention to the green beads standing against the wall with her head bowed.
The maid kept talking, and she was still saying: "Even if the old lady and the young lady of the Wu family are too sad and difficult to manage, how can they be the young lady of our family." Why is it the turn of the third room of the concubine to come out and take charge of the court? β
"Don't talk about it." As the lady spoke, she noticed the green bead and glanced at her.
Lu Zhu had already turned around calmly at this time, and walked calmly.
The two people walked their own way, and after walking around the corner, Lu Zhu stopped, went out and took a sneak look, confirming that it was Mrs. Gao, and then walked to where Zheng Lingyi was.
After giving the two bowls of sweet soup to Mr. Zhong and Zhong Lin, Lu Zhu told Zheng Lingyi what he had heard.
Zheng Lingyi couldn't help but stroke his forehead and sighed: "I'll tell you that this is the case." β
Those who are lazy are looking forward to taking power, and those who are holding power are eager to be lazy.
Wu Yongan's eyes were a little better, and he was pushed to the front of the stage by Qiao Shi and Gao Manyi one by one, Wu Yan couldn't wait to drop the errand in his hand and let Wu Yongan take charge of everything.
Zheng Lingyi is really envious, General Wu sent a message to Gao Man to take care of the child, no matter what Gao Man himself thinks, Zheng Lingyi can't take the initiative to pick a child.
This has been busy for three whole days, people have lost a small circle, Wu Zhi is very distressed, all the things in the outer courtyard have been arranged by Zheng Lingyi, and the people who are busy have added rewards, and they are very slow to do their best, only a person in charge of the name.
Seeing that Wan Yuanyuan had recovered some of his spirits in the past few days, he cried less in front of the spirit, but was silent, so Wu Zhi took Zheng Lingyi to General Wu to 'step down'.
When he saw General Wu, Zheng Lingyi was startled, his hair was nearly half white, gray and white, like snow falling on a bare mountain ridge.
Wu Zhi's tone was almost unconsciously calmer, and Old General Wu didn't seem to care very much, and his reaction was a little sluggish.
After Zheng Lingyi handed over all the affairs of the outer courtyard to Wan Yuanyuan, he personally sent a cup of medicinal food to General Wu every day.
Mother Jin has always had a feeling of 'big opening and closing' when cooking, the heat required for medicinal food is delicate and subtle, Mother Jin can't touch the method for the time being, Zheng Lingyi is not embarrassed by her, let Mother Jin handle the ingredients and bring it over, she personally added medicinal materials into it, and then put it on the small stove under the corridor, and instructed Pei'er to take care of the fire.
Pei'er wanted to learn more, tried to remember what Zheng Lingyi taught her, and kept the fire all the time.
As soon as the Wu family's coupling fell, Pei'er also baked a pair of fiery eyes.
Lu Zhu was anxious and angry, "Don't keep staring at the stove!" Make yourself like this! β
At the end, he added, "Is it uncomfortable?" β
Pei'er lowered her head and smiled stupidly: "It's not uncomfortable, it's just a little itchy." As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and rub it, but was slapped off by the green beads, "Don't rub it!" β
Zheng Lingyi let Pei'er rest for a few days, gave her a hat, and asked Pei'er to go out of the house to see Dr. Xiao Yang.
The medicinal diet still couldn't be stopped, so the green beads and green nongs took turns watching.
Fen Niang didn't dare to hang in front of the hospital during the day, and she didn't know the reason for Pei'er's sudden disappearance, Pei'er came back in the afternoon, she hurriedly pulled Pei'er to the corner, close like a close friend, "Where have you been?" Why don't you see anyone in the morning? β
Pei'er wanted to pull her sleeve back, but she couldn't earn Pei'er, so she could only say, "I went out to see the doctor, and I had a fire." β
Fen Niang lifted Pei'er's hat and screamed in fuss, "Oh, what a chore, pitiful." β
A person with such a good temperament as Pei'er also felt a little impatient, and just saw Zhu Yu coming with two buckets of water, and hurriedly waved away Fen Niang's pair of paws that were climbing around, and ran towards Zhu Yu, "Zhu Yu, I'll help you." β
Zhu Yu had a lot of strength, and he didn't need Pei'er to carry water at all, so the two of them talked and left Fen Niang.
Zheng Lingyi has nothing to do in the past few days except for serving this cup of medicinal food, and the meat that fell from his body has gradually returned.
She stretched comfortably, put a handkerchief on her face to block the sun, and said in her heart, "It's better to be idle, why bother with yourself." β
After Lu Zhu told Zheng Lingyi about Mrs. Gao's dissatisfaction that day, Zheng Lingyi thought about it very seriously, why is there such a big difference in thinking between people?
Come to think of it, it should still be the heart that has been cultivated since childhood. Gao Man is also a descendant, and has always been raised as a lady, presiding over family affairs, managing the accounts of the director as an obligation, but also as a power.
Isn't it the same for Wu Rouxiang, the Lu family is a little weaker, so she took the opportunity to divide power.
Zheng Lingyi has been cautious and cautious since she was a child, and now she has to live quietly in this small world, she just hopes to be able to live comfortably and easily, Gao Man is not bad-hearted, and she will not be treated badly, Zheng Lingyi really didn't want to fight for power with her.
She has expressed her stance many times, but she is really tired, so she simply lives in the snail, and proves it with her actions.
She didn't care about everything, but there was one thing that she still figured out through the few days in the outer courtyard.
Zheng Lingyi was about to sleep when he heard the voice of Lu Zhu, "Madam, someone from the Guogong Mansion came to report the good news, saying that your sister gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses last night, which is very auspicious." β
Zheng Lingyi lifted the veil on his face and quickly ordered: "Let Lu Nong open the small warehouse to prepare for the gift, you go to the small kitchen to get some pastries for Chang Chang, and tell her to be careful to avoid the Lu family these days, don't provoke her." β
Zheng Yangyang now has two men and a woman, one is Longfeng Chengxiang, and the other is Xue Shi's like, if Zheng Yanxian doesn't make any moves, Zheng Lingyi will wonder if she is the Lu family's biological heir.
