Chapter Forty-Nine: Green Lychee

Zheng Lingyi only glanced at Qiao's family, then stopped looking at her, and turned his head to look for Lu Mobai's figure.

Lu Mobai and Wen Xianglan stood not far away, admiring an independent green chrysanthemum.

Wen Xiangzhi didn't seem to be here today, Zheng Lingyi glanced sideways at the Lu family, and Dan Zhu's gaze pierced through the overlapping crowd.

Zheng Lingyi looked away and said lightly to Yuegui: "Sister Yuegui, I saw two sisters from other families, I met them in the county lord's mansion, I went to say hello." ”

Today, Yuegui should know a little about what the Lu family is planning today, so she said very well: "Sister, go." ”

Zheng Lingyi calmly walked towards Lu Mobai's place, Zheng Qiuqiu and Zheng Yingying were both curious about his actions.

Although Zheng Qiuqiu's temperament is reckless, since he saw Qiaoluo's incident, he seems to have a rope tied to his head, and a bell is hanging from the rope, as long as there is something wrong, the bell in his head will ring non-stop.

Therefore, Zheng Qiuqiu honestly stayed by Yuegui's side, just leaning on the railing, and very boringly hooked a nine-fold chrysanthemum with his index finger and sniffed it under his nose.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the figure on his side flashing, and when he turned around, Zheng Yingying took advantage of Yuegui's ignorance for a while and followed Zheng Lingyi.

Yuegui was trying to follow up and drag Zheng Yingying back, but Juyuan's maidservant brought in a new wave of female dependents, which happened to be blocked in the middle of the road, Yuegui didn't want her actions to be too revealing, so she had to forget it.

Zheng Lingyi was not surprised to see Zheng Yingying follow, she glanced at Zheng Yingying, and said, "Twelfth sister, what are you doing?" ”

"Why, the fifteenth sister only cares about climbing the high branches by herself, and she doesn't introduce us?" Zheng Yingying said sarcastically.

Zheng Lingyi stopped talking, and only walked slowly towards Lu Mobai.

The green chrysanthemum is in full bloom, like a flower like a leaf, like a branch like a vein.

"Sister Lu, Sister Wen." Zheng Lingyi blessed the two of them, showed a bright and shy smile, and said.

"Little sister of the Zheng family, you are wearing it today, and you are wearing it very brightly." Lu Mobai said, and glanced at Zheng Yanxian not far away.

Zheng Lingyi saw the traces of her eye waves, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, 'How can the fifth brother be worthy of such a smart girl?' ’

Zheng Yingying also hurriedly followed Zheng Lingyi to salute, her movements were awkward and clumsy.

Zheng Lingyi glanced at Zheng Yingying, her face showed helplessness, and she still said generously: "This is my twelfth sister." ”

It was the first time they had met each other, and Lu Mobai and Wen Xiangzhi just nodded to Zheng Yingying.

"What about Sister Xiangzhi? Didn't you come today? Zheng Lingyi looked at Wen Xianglan and asked with great concern.

Wen Xianglan saw that Zheng Lingyi was so concerned about her little sister, and said gently: "Xu is autumn breeze is rising, and my sister has been a little discordant recently, so I won't ask her to join in the fun." ”

Zheng Lingyi nodded regretfully, blessed again, and said, "I see, I'm still looking forward to seeing her today." Since this is the case, then I won't bother the two sisters to appreciate this green lychee. ”

As soon as she said this, Lu Mobai's eyes lit up, and she said to her: "Do you know that this flower is a green lychee?" ”

Zheng Lingyi smiled with a smile, and while admiring the green chrysanthemum, he said: "This kind of green chrysanthemum is small, and the receptacle is gradually tightened, and it is hugged to the center of the flower, which is similar to a lychee." Originally, it was Lingnan who first discovered this kind of green chrysanthemum. Hence the name green lychee. ”

The more Zheng Lingyi said, the more strange Zheng Yingying's face became, she didn't notice Lu Mobai's approving look, and wanted to frustrate Zheng Lingyi's pride, so she said, "How do you know so much?" Isn't that nonsense? ”

Lu Mobai was on the rise, and when he heard this unappetizing words, he was naturally displeased, so he took Zheng Lingyi's hand and walked to the depths of the chrysanthemum garden, and instructed the maid beside him: "You go and tell the Duchess that the fifteenth sister of her family asked me to borrow it to enjoy the flowers, but don't suspect that it was lost." ”

Zheng Yingying told the three of them to leave where they were, no matter how thick-skinned they were, they were embarrassed to follow, so they had to return to their original places and receive a reprimand from Yuegui for no reason.

The Lu family has been busy maneuvering between the various female dependents, Danzhu has been her eyes, has been observing Zheng Lingyi, and naturally has taken Zheng Yingying's ignorant actions into her eyes.

At this time, Lu Mobai's maidservant came over and explained to Danzhu.

Danzhu smiled and said, "Then I have to ask your sister to take care of it." ”

"Sister is polite, it should be." The handmaid said politely.

"Where are the ladies going? If there's anything, I'll look for it. Danzhu said very naturally.

"There is a piece of ink chrysanthemum in the chrysanthemum garden, and my sister is going to appreciate that." The servant girl replied.

Yuezhi waited beside the Lu family, suddenly called someone to pat her on the shoulder, and when she turned around and saw that it was Wu Rouxiang, she was slightly blessed, and said, "Sister Wu, what's wrong?" ”

"I want to find your third sister, why did she disappear in a blink of an eye?"

Wu Rouxiang seems to have been carefully decorated today, a heavy silk gold bead bracelet hangs on her wrist, and the pearl tassel earrings are wrapped around her hair, looking cumbersome and old-fashioned.

Yuezhi was a little puzzled, pointed to Zheng Yanru not far away, and said, "Sister Wu, the third sister of our family is talking to the princess there." ”

Wu Rouxiang looked in the direction of her finger, and saw a woman with a superb appearance standing beside Zheng Yanru, and saw that the two were talking happily, and the woman smiled skillfully, adding a bit of smart beauty.

Wu Rouxiang couldn't help but feel astringent, and said, "That woman is the princess?" ”

Yuezhi had never seen the princess, but she heard Zheng Yanru say that the princess Song was very beautiful and her temperament was also in agreement with her, so she said, "It should be." ”

Wu Rouxiang snorted coldly, seemingly disdainful.

She said as if unintentionally, "Concubine De also invited a few sons of the family this time." I heard that the princess came with the princess, but the demon king of your family didn't come, right? If there is something indecent and bumps into the prince, it will be bad. ”

Yuezhi glanced at Wu Rouxiang, and saw a little weakness and expectation from the bottom of her eyes, and deliberately said slowly: "Sister Wu said that she laughed, and the thirteenth brother didn't come this time." ”

Obviously, there is another sentence, but Yuezhi swallows it raw.

Wu Rouxiang is not a stupid person, she took out a handful of golden beans from her purse, took Yuezhi's hand, and said: "Duchess Guozhi really hurts, Yuezhi's hands are delicate like a pampered young lady." ”

Yuezhi shook the golden beans in his palm, and said to Wu Rouxiang with satisfaction: "It's the fifth brother who came today." ”

Wu Rouxiang's face was a smirk, but her heart was full of joy.

This chrysanthemum garden is divided into two gardens, east and west, the main family mostly entertains guests in the east garden, and appreciates chrysanthemums in the west garden.

The male guests came to talk a lot this time, so they had some tea in the East Garden.

Female guests love to enjoy chrysanthemums, so they set up a table under the West Garden Pavilion to facilitate chrysanthemum appreciation.

"Xiang'er, what are you doing standing here stupidly?" Qiao Shi found Wu Rouxiang and said to her.

Wu Rouxiang turned around and saw Qiao's face dark, and said puzzledly: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Qiao's led Wu Rouxiang to a secluded place, snorted in the direction of the Lu family, and said, "The Duchess of Guo and the Lu family Dai had a very happy conversation, and I couldn't even interject into the conversation. ”

Wu Rouxiang saw that Lu's body leaned towards the Lu family's wife, and seemed to be a little warm.

"Mo no, don't you want to marry the Lu family?" Wu Rouxiang's lips opened and closed slightly, and she said very quietly.

Qiao Shi didn't speak, just sighed.

Wu Rouxiang said unhappily: "The Duchess of the Kingdom is really eyeless, our such a good family is close at hand, she is willing to seek the near and far!" ”

Qiao's looked at her daughter's plain face, and she was already a little hopeless about the marriage of the Guogong Mansion.

She didn't want her daughter to marry low, but she also knew that her family was empty now, and she couldn't even compare with a five-grade civil official.

I thought that I was good friends with the Guogong Mansion, but Wu Rouxiang and Zheng Rong'an have known each other since childhood, and there will always be some benefits of being close to the water and getting the moon first.

Unexpectedly, this Lu Shi didn't move half of his mind.

Previously, the Lu family wanted to marry Zheng Rongshang, Zheng Rongshang was a well-known medicine jar, and Qiao's thought that it would be almost the same to marry a concubine, but the Lu family refuted.

At that time, she still remembered that Wu Rouxiang could marry Zheng Rongan, and she didn't take this matter to heart.

Now that I think about it, the Lu family not only looks down on a concubine, but also looks down on the entire Wu family!

"Which daughter of the Lu family is the Duchess of Guo looking down on?" Wu Rouxiang asked reluctantly.

Qiao's side was just shocked, and she was too lazy to answer, and the eldest girl beside her, Cuilong, said, "Second sister of the Lu family." I just looked, and it seemed that I went to the depths of the chrysanthemum garden with a little maiden from Lu Mansion. ”

"It's really shameless, I actually came to please the Lu family early." Wu Rouxiang said indignantly.

Although she was very disgusted, after a while, she still pretended to say, "Mother, I'll go around." ”

is the so-called knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, Qiao's seeing this, how could she not know what she was thinking, she raised a little spirit, and said to Cuilong: "You know the way, take my sister to take a look." ”

Wu Rouxiang smiled at Qiao's and said coquettishly: "Mother, look at it." I don't know, it's mine, it's mine. ”

"Okay." Wu Rouxiang just went to see who Lu Mobai was, and nothing would happen if she thought about it, so Qiao's should go.

She looked at Wu Rouxiang's distant back, and suddenly felt a trace of inexplicable panic in her heart.

Lu's scheming is deep, and Xiang'er may not be able to have a good life if she marries in the past. It's better to marry lower......

As soon as this thought came out, Qiao's mind came up with the mocking look of her mother's sister-in-law, her mother-in-law was not from a high background, and she used to make things difficult for her when she was in the boudoir.

But since she had a pair of good-looking daughters, one entered the palace, and the other became a side concubine to the tenth prince, her sister-in-law has raised her eyebrows since then, and even Qiao's dare to be sarcastic and ridiculed.

Qiao Shi knows the importance of a good family affair to a woman, and she can't count on her husband to earn a future, so she gritted her teeth and said in her heart: "Even if you vomit to death, you have to fight for a good family affair!" ”

Wu Rouxiang walked to the depths of the chrysanthemum garden with Cuilong, she didn't have the heart to enjoy the flowers, she walked in a hurry along the way, and soon caught up with Zheng Lingyi and the three of them who were strolling leisurely.

She saw that Lu Mobai had an intimate attitude towards Zheng Lingyi, and laughed from time to time, and said to Cuilong in a strange way: "This Lu family sister is too strange, right?" For a concubine, or a concubine from another family, why be so good. ”

Cuilong's eyes were sharp, and she recognized that Zheng Lingyi was the little maid who had been sticking to Zheng Yanru's side at the Flying Flower Banquet, so she mentioned it.

Wu Rouxiang suddenly realized, and said to herself: "This little concubine, isn't it sent by the Duchess of the State to spy on the Lu family's sister?" ”
