Chapter 271: Birthday Banquet
Because it was Zheng Guogong's birthday, General Wu also attended. Qiao's family also seemed to reveal the intention of going, and asked Wu Rouxiang to say good things in front of General Wu, but General Wu did not agree.
There were some rumors in the south courtyard, and there were bursts of news that were not in the climate, but there were some clues, and gradually, everyone was sure in their hearts.
Zheng Lingyi didn't want to pay too much attention to General Wu's private affairs, but since she heard about it, she was always a little curious.
When General Wu came out of the house, Zhou Niang followed behind with her head down, and although Zheng Lingyi restrained herself, she still couldn't help but glance at her.
The clothes on her body are not like newly-made, the color is plain, her face is not greased and powdered, and there is a bamboo hairpin on her sideburns, which seems to have been this bamboo hairpin since Zheng Ling's first glance.
If it is really as the rumors say, what does General Wu have with Zhou Niang, then why is Zhou Niang still dressed as before?
But then again, Zhou Niang's years in the South Courtyard have indeed approached General Wu step by step.
"Let's go." This sentence is very light, so light that Zheng Lingyi can't tell whether it was said by General Wu or Wu Punishment.
The moment Zheng Lingyi turned around, he saw Zhou Niang's eyes looking at the back of General Wu, very gentle, with a little admiration.
This look was fleeting, but somehow, it was very powerful, which made Zheng Lingyi's heart tremble slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Love." ’
Zhou Niang's age is not young, if she is outside, the children are estimated to be running around the alleys, but compared with General Wu, she is a generation younger.
But then again, in a family like theirs, there is such a thing as a pear tree pressing a begonia, but what is the matter? It can even be used as a beautiful talk.
To be honest, Zheng Lingyi felt a little strange in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it.
One thing, everyone doesn't care about, but you jump out and say it, isn't it embarrassing to become a heart.
Second, Zheng Lingyi respects General Wu, and he is a junior, so he feels that he does not have this identity and position to discipline his private affairs.
Three, look at Zhou Niang's eyes, it is clearly deep-rooted, although she is much younger than General Wu, but she is not a young and ignorant child after all, with General Wu's character, she will never do coercive bastards.
With all these thoughts, Zheng Lingyi still chose to pretend not to see that look and left with Wu Punishment.
General Wu has always been in his own carriage, and when the three of them arrived at the Zheng Mansion, they were with the Wang family's carriage and horses.
Zheng Yangyang and Zheng Yanhui got off the carriage of the same system, and from the way they dressed, they could no longer see the clear distinction between the past and the bad.
Wang Jiru naturally went to pick up Zheng Yangyang, but the two also touched their hands, and after Zheng Yangyang stood still, his hand was withdrawn.
Zheng Yanhui originally wanted to pretend that he hadn't seen the Wu family, but after all, Wang Liye was mixed up with the official face, and greeted the old general Wu politely and politely, let the old general Wu take the first step, and greeted Wu Xian.
Zheng Yangyang took Brother Amber and stood aside and beckoned to Zheng Lingyi.
Zheng Yan glanced back, turned her head and left, to show that she disdained to be in the company of these two sisters.
Brother Amber is already a little adult, and he looks very energetic, not like the Wang family, but like the Zheng family.
"You came with Brother Amber, why didn't Brother Jue come?" Zheng Lingyi touched Brother Amber's head and said to Zheng Yangyang.
Zheng Yangyang smiled a little, licked her lower lip again, endured it, and said, "Brother Jue'er works hard, and he can't be empty." ”
The two walked towards the house, Wu Zhi saw this, and also moved his steps, and the two brothers of the Wang family subconsciously followed him.
"It's not bad to work hard, this is two days a day?" Zheng Lingyi was a little strange, after all, it was his grandfather's birthday.
Zheng Yangyang pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "Isn't this a race to be the first in everything, unwilling to ask others to get ahead of you?" ”
As she spoke, the hand on Brother Amber's shoulder lifted her finger happily.
Zheng Lingyi lowered his eyelashes and covered his expression. Mother is a sister, father is a brother, born to be compared, but also bitter.
She thought about the child in her belly, she didn't know if it was a boy or a girl, and before she landed, there were a bunch of brothers and sisters waiting in front of her, but fortunately, her husband had a strange temper on the outside, and no one would provoke him recklessly.
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but smile, and Zheng Yangyang joked: "I see, your life is really good, and you can laugh in a daze." ”
Zheng Lingyi smiled again and didn't speak, seeing Zheng Changyi walking briskly towards her with her skirt, the ripples on Zheng Lingyi's face became even more obvious.
"Sister!" Zheng Changchang jumped in front of Zheng Lingyi on tiptoe, her steps were light, needless to say, she was living a good life.
Mi Jiyue's gaze followed, and then she looked away when she saw Wu Zhi come forward to talk to him.
Zheng Yangyang saw it in his eyes, and his heart was slightly sour.
"Ninth Sister." Zheng Changchang added another sentence.
Zheng Yangyang nodded, and was also very interested in finding a few words and left, not hindering the two sisters from talking.
On today's birthday, most of the people who come are relatives, so there are fewer scruples, and the banquet is all in one place.
Zheng Lingyi and Zheng Changchang thought, looking for a clean table to sit down, Zheng Chuchu didn't come today, but the old lady in the second room of the Wen family came with her stepson. When Mrs. sat down beside her, she heard Wu Rouxiang's annoying voice, "Sister, come and sit here!" ”
There are so many sisters, why should Zheng Lingyi pull this sister on herself, she didn't plan to pay attention to it, fart. When the stock was close to the chair, he suddenly called Tsui Sakura and Tsui Ori to stand up.
"Sister!" Zheng Changchang dragged her, Zheng Lingyi pressed her in place with her backhand, and looked at Cui Zhi coldly.
"What is the matter with you sitting at that table, hiding at this table?" Ei said with a smile.
Her words can be said to be a joke, but when it falls on Zheng Lingyi's ears, it can only be vicious sarcasm.
Lu Zhu tore off her hand very hard, and Cui Ying also asked Lu Nong to squeeze it away.
Wu Rouxiang walked briskly, passing by the path deliberately separated by potted plants, and also came over.
Zheng Lingyi smelled the scent on her body, and before she could speak, she turned around suddenly.
The eyes of the two were straight to each other, Wu Rouxiang lost her confidence first, and her eyes flashed.
Zheng Lingyi took the initiative to take a few steps forward, seemingly affectionately holding her, and walked towards her table step by step.
At the same time, Zheng Lingyi whispered in her ear: "In the past few days, your mother-in-law's family has been going back and forth, and today she appeared at the birthday banquet again, ushering in the send-off, calling this, beating that." Want......
Zheng Lingyi paused and laughed, she saw her smiling face reflected in Wu Rouxiang's worried eyes.
"I guess it's the fifth brother's reckless behavior towards you, and the anger that didn't succeed in the end has finally dissipated, right?"
Wu Rouxiang gasped briefly, and the frightened breath was in her throat, making her speechless, only her pupils trembling slightly.
Zheng Lingyi's gaze crossed her and saw Zheng Qijun who came with the county lord, he pretended to be good, he didn't show a reluctant look, but he didn't care and was careless.
Zheng Qijun saw Zheng Lingyi, and beckoned to her happily, the county lord breathed a sigh of relief, at least he looked like he had come to attend his father's birthday banquet.
Zheng Lingyi naturally smiled with crooked eyes and curled lips.
Wu Rouxiang felt inexplicable, turned her face to look, and saw Zheng Qijun, a well, living him.
She was so shocked that she almost couldn't stand on her feet, plus Zheng Qijun raised her chin at Wu Rouxiang, and then smiled coldly, which was completely different from Fang Cai's innocent and enthusiastic smile on Zheng Lingyi.
"Sister-in-law, what bad things do you do if you are so daring?" Zheng Lingyi said with a smile.
"You, you nonsense......
"What are you?" Zheng Lingyi pretended to ask in a good voice.
"I, I didn't ......
"I didn't? Well? Do you want to say that you didn't do it yourself? ”
Zheng Lingyi reached out and pulled off a fluffy silk thread on her shoulder, leaving a small hole in the silk garment.
"Oh, sister-in-law, this kind of self-deception, when you can't sleep at night, say it to yourself."
Wu Rouxiang came with a strong momentum, and was carried back to the table by Zheng Lingyi, she originally wanted to sit next to Zheng Lingyi, so the position she left was now self-defeating, and she couldn't avoid her if she wanted to.
At this table sat Zheng Yanru, Zheng Yanhui, Zheng Shuangshuang and Zheng Yangyang, and their eyes were fixed on Wu Rouxiang and Zheng Lingyi.
Seeing that Wu Rouxiang and Zheng Lingyi were just a back and forth, the looks and momentum of the two fell, Zheng Shuangshuang's eyes turned directly on the two, and finally fell on Wu Rouxiang's pale face, and said, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It's okay." Wu Rouxiang pretended to be calm and said, but her body subconsciously leaned to the other side, as if she was afraid of Zheng Lingyi.
Zheng Shuangshuang glanced at Zheng Lingyi, peeled a peanut and ate it, looked at her again, and said in his heart, "What a goblin." ’
Zheng Shuangshuang looked at Zheng Lingyi twice, she was aware of it, and when Zheng Shuangshuang peeked at her for the third time, Zheng Lingyi steadily grabbed her gaze and smiled slightly.
Zheng Shuangshuang glared at her viciously as if he had been slapped by her, not knowing whether he was angry or ashamed.
Wu Rouxiang was like sitting on pins and needles, she was supposed to embarrass Zheng Lingyi today, in front of the sisters at this table, ask her why she was so stingy, and sent the aunt carefully selected for her by the elders of the family to Zhuangzi.
Wu Rouxiang has thought about it, how happy it will be.
But Zheng Lingyi had the upper hand first, and then asked her to speak at this time, but she didn't dare, she was really afraid of Zheng Lingyi, and she didn't know what handle she was holding in her hand.
Zheng Yangyang sat next to Zheng Lingyi and gossiped with her.
Zheng Lingyi heard her say that Brother Amber made a joke when he first opened his mind, and felt quite funny, and couldn't help but think about what kind of character this child would be in his belly.
Zheng Yanhui looked at Zheng Yangyang and Zheng Lingyi talking happily, and the words were all her children, and her heart was very responsive, and she didn't even like Zheng Lingyi, and said: "Fifteenth sister, how did I hear that Yuezhi was sent to Zhuangzi by you?" ”
