Chapter 15: Zheng Qiuqiu
After Zheng Lingyi came back from Yihuan Pavilion, he always looked preoccupied.
Aunt Jiang suspected that she was being bullied, and after careful questioning, Zheng Lingyi said no, and took out the jewelry to show her.
Aunt Jiang was puzzled, so she had to comfort herself and said that her sister was older and had something to worry about.
Zheng Lingyi has been looking at the book "Dietary Therapy Materia Medica" in the room for the past few days, and he said that reading a hundred times is true to himself.
It's just that she has been reading this chapter in her hand for a morning, and she doesn't know what flowers she sees in it?
Hearing a rude and reckless sound at the door, Zheng Lingyi happily threw the book under the tea table covered by the tablecloth and stepped on it with his foot.
Sure enough, I saw Zheng Qiuqiu walking in angrily.
"Did you say anything bad about me in front of the third sister, why did you ask you to go, but you didn't call me."
Before Zheng Qiuqiu opened her mouth, Zheng Lingyi knew that she would make a fuss because of this.
"That day in Anheju, I was close to the third sister, and when she saw me, she said casually, my sister is lucky." Zheng Lingyi wrung his fingers and said timidly.
Zheng Qiuqiu remembered that she was indeed a little far away from Zheng Yanru that day, no wonder Zheng Yanru couldn't remember herself for a while.
Thinking of this, her complexion softened slightly, but her tone was still stiff, and said, "What jewelry did you get, bring it to me and see." ”
Zheng Lingyi casually took out a small box from the dresser behind him and took out the three pieces of jewelry.
The pearl earring, Zheng Qiuqiu only glanced at it and showed disgust.
Lily holds sideburns, and the white jade picks the heart and is too plain, Zheng Qiuqiu can't look at it.
She frowned and said angrily, "Are you looking at me? You have four pieces of jewelry, more than anyone else! ”
Zheng Lingyi said in his heart, Zheng Qiuqiu knew that it was not strange that he had jewelry, but who deliberately said it in such detail? And deliberately picked yourself out?
Zheng Lingyi took out the eyebrow from under the mattress again, and the agate gem side down, said, "Nu, isn't this it." The third sister knew that I had been sick for a few days, and specially instructed me to wear it to protect me from the cold. ”
I thought that Zheng Lingyi would have something good here, and he was complacent when he came back with such a poor and sour goods, Zheng Qiuqiu pursed his lips.
Today, she accompanied her aunt to serve the Lu family, she was arranged to wait in the side hall, and heard Zhixia outside the door say a few words of gossip to Danzhu.
is talking about Zheng Yangyang, Zheng Yingying and Zheng Lingyi getting jewelry, so she came in a hurry.
Returning empty-handed, looking a little faceless, Zheng Qiuqiu simply sat down, picked up the fried pumpkin and red bean cake on Zheng Yanru's table and ate it.
"That's ......
It was what Aunt Jiang exchanged for embroidery and the big kitchen, Zheng Lingyi ate one, and the rest was left for Zheng Changchang and Zheng Mianmian.
Aunt Wan and Aunt Jiang took them to the pepper garden to play, just waiting to come back to eat.
Zheng Lingyi was very angry in his heart, but he had to swallow it, pretending to be pitiful that he didn't dare to resist.
Zheng Qiuqiu was very proud, and deliberately raised his head and said, "What's wrong?" Isn't it okay for my sister to eat a cake from you? Be careful, I sue you before the eldest lady. ”
"Isn't the eldest lady feeling well these days?" Zheng Lingyi asked softly.
Zheng Qiuqiu glanced at her and said in a fuss: "You don't even know this? ”
Zheng Lingyi pursed his lips and did not speak.
Zheng Qiuqiu saw Zheng Lingyi's timid appearance, her heart was very comfortable, and she said compassionately: "Madame doesn't sleep very well, she always dreams at night, and she has no energy during the day, my aunt has been serving the sick for the past two days!" ”
Serving the sick has always been something that only trusted people can do, and it is precisely this that Zheng Qiuqiu is proud of.
'Lu's sick?' Zheng Lingyi's heart jumped, but his face was very wooden, lowered his eyes, and said: "Aunt Guo is from Anhe, so she is naturally closer to the eldest lady." ”
When Zheng Qiuqiu's heart was struck, she smiled and said, "I can't see it, you still have some eyesight." ”
Zheng Lingyi didn't say anything, just put the jewelry on the table back into the box one by one.
Zheng Qiuqiu came here to make a fuss, ate and drank to his heart's content, and took the remaining pumpkin and red bean cake away when he left.
Zheng Lingyi couldn't stop her, and held it for a long time before he let out a long breath of turbidity.
Zheng Lingyi bent down and took out the book of "Dietary Therapy Materia Medica" from under the table, turned to the chapter where she had been staying, and muttered very softly: "If you are sick, you have to take medicine." ”
Lu's disease is actually not very serious.
The doctor said that it was just that he had been worried too much recently, and he had suffered some cold, which would lead to weakness and sleeplessness, so he could rest for a few days.
Qiao Zhu was serving the right decoction to dry this time, serving Lu Shi to drink, and just drank half a bowl of shallow bowls, when he saw Danzhu come in happily and said, "Madam, the eldest sister is back." ”
Lu Shi was overjoyed, but complained in his mouth: "Didn't you tell her?" ”
Danzhu smiled: "Madam, we didn't say it. Xu is where the eldest sister herself knew. ”
Zheng Yanhui was wearing a peony-colored cloak, and it was pear blossoms who came in crying like rain, and as soon as she entered the door, she ran to the Lu family, fell on her knees and cried: "Mother, my daughter is so bitter!" ”
Lu Shi was anxious and afraid, for fear that something would happen to his daughter, and there was a sudden throbbing pain in his heart.
Danzhu hurriedly said, "Eldest sister, don't cry!" Madame is sick these days! ”
Zheng Yanhui raised his head suddenly, and saw Lu Shi leaning back, his face full of pain, and he panicked all of a sudden, and hurriedly said: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”
"No, it's fine. My mother just saw that you were crying uncomfortably, and she didn't know what happened to you, so she was very anxious. Lu Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said.
Zheng Yan wiped her tears, cried with a sad face, and said, "Wang Liye, this bastard, dares to take a concubine." ”
Lu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, just now Zheng Yan was crying like this, she thought that the Wang family had made some kind of lawsuit.
"Take a concubine, take a concubine. The deed of this concubine's room is pinched in your hand, and there is something unpleasant, just send it away. Lu Shi took the medicine bowl in Qiao Zhu's hand and drank it all.
Zheng Yanhui didn't see Lu's action of drinking medicine, and said excitedly: "Wang Liye wants to accept his cousin!" I grew up with childhood sweethearts! My mother-in-law is her own aunt! Is this a general concubine? He also said that he would accept him as a concubine! ”
Only then did Lu Shi wake up and said, "Really? ”
"What am I lying to you about?" Zheng Yanhui said anxiously: "I hold all those concubines in my hands, what am I afraid of?" It's just this one, it's really hard to deal with! ”
Lu Shi held Zheng Yanhui's hand and said, "Have you found out your cousin's net worth?" ”
"That slut's name is Zhu Jiaojiao, her mother is from the Xue family in Fuyang, and she is a sibling to my mother-in-law. This Zhu Jiaojiao lived in the Wang family for a period of time when she was young, and at that time my mother-in-law had the idea of kissing each other. It's just that the Zhu family is in the middle of the road, and now there is only one son-in-law who is an eight-grade sesame petty official in the court. Zhu Jiaojiao failed to be the housewife of the Wang family! ”
Zheng Yanhui said clearly, obviously finding out the details early in the morning.
Lu nodded approvingly, and said angrily: "The Wang family is too ignorant. ”
Zheng Yanhui began to shed tears again, and said, "Mother, what should I do?" ”
"You didn't show any flaws in front of your uncle, did you?" Lu asked.
Zheng Yanhui shook her head and said, "I just cried, and I didn't make a fuss." Wang Liye felt guilty in his heart, and gave me a shop, a Zhuangzi. ”
Lu Shi said 'um' and said, "It's not a loss to the daughter I taught!" You don't care about this matter, just make a generous appearance and coax your uncle to feel guilty. As for the side, my mother will cook it for you. ”
Zheng Yanhui burst into tears and laughed, hugged Lu's coquettish idiot, and said: "My mother is so good, I feel at ease when my mother is here." ”
Lu Shi hugged Zheng Yanhui lovingly, but his eyes fell elsewhere, but he was cold.
Dan Zhu peeked at Lu's expression, and said in his heart that Zhu Jiaojiao's life was about to change.
After sending Zheng Yan back, Lu Shi felt dizzy, and just wanted to get up and go back to the inner room, but he couldn't stand on his feet and fell heavily on Danzhu.
Danzhu hurriedly called for help, attracting Qiao Zhu, who had just gone to see Zheng Yan back, and she endured the pain and helped Lu up with Qiao Zhu.
Lu Shi was not injured, but Dan Zhu broke his foot, but when he sent Lu Shi back to the room, his ankle was already swollen like a big steamed bun.
I don't know if it's a blessing in disguise, Danzhu got a few days of rest, and got the reward of the Lu family, but it made Qiao Zhu a little unhappy, and his speech was also yin and yang.
Although Danzhu and Qiaozhu are the big girls in front of the Lu family, there are some things that they still can't meet.
Look at the past few days, Aunt Hua often walks around the door of Anheju, and always stays in the house with the Lu family for half a day, and only Qiao Zhu goes in to serve tea.
After a little and a half of this scene, Danzhu's feet were almost fine, so he went to Lu Shi to serve again.
Danzhu and Qiaozhu are two maids, and the Lu family values Danzhu a little more.
Qiao Zhu's temperament is irritable, let it out to reprimand the subordinates, and it is very pleasant to beat and scold the aunt and concubine, but when she talks, she is not as good as Dan Zhu Shun'er.
"You don't have a few days off." Lu Shi drank the medicine from Danzhu's hand, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said.
"The slave misses Madame." Danzhu smiled and said.
Lu Shi glanced at her and said, "After drinking bitter medicine for a few days, why is your mouth sweet?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Aunt Hua walking in in a crow pigment suit.
She wears a lotus crown on her head, dressed as a homely aunt.
Danzhu was a little afraid of Aunt Hua, so she stood aside with her eyes down, cleaning up the medicine bowl.
Aunt Hua walked to Lu's side very neatly and said softly, "Madam, the matter is over." ”
Lu said: "I didn't leave any tails, did I?" ”
"No, that person is from out of town, and he can't get along in the capital, and he is about to go back. The silver I sealed was enough for his journey. Aunt Hua said.
I saw Lu Shi nodding and said to Aunt Hua: "Hua Sui, fortunately, my mother gave you to me." ”
Danzhu didn't listen to the rest of the words, she took the medicine bowl and went out without hesitation.
