Chapter 352: The Outer Room
The people of Wu Mansion knew that Mrs. had lost a sister, she was in a bad mood, she was depressed when she spoke, she walked with her feet, and she didn't dare to make a little extra noise, and she didn't dare to disturb Zheng Lingyi in front of her for small things.
When Zheng Qijun and Zheng Changchang came to the house, the three of them cried behind closed doors, Jiang Sheng eavesdropped through the door panel, very confused, he knew that he didn't have an aunt, but he hadn't seen this aunt at all, and he didn't have any impression, how to make a child squeeze out sadness out of thin air?
Until the Qixi Festival, two months have passed since the news of Zheng Shuangshuang's death.
Zheng Lingyi cheered up and gave a box of snacks and a set of boxes of silver needles and colored threads to the maids in the courtyard, and a long table was set up in the courtyard for them to dry the water and throw needles, and share the fruits, and the courtyard gradually had some joyful sounds in the past.
In the small kitchen, there were all kinds of Qiaoguo, gourd-shaped, peach-heart-shaped, and knocked-in, with a bunch of red threads printed.
Only Xiao Wu'er was stunned and looked at the half-bitten Qiaoguo in his hand, which was printed by this red thread mold, and he didn't understand why these sisters and aunts didn't eat it.
Pei'er stood aside with her hands tied and smiled, she didn't step forward, and suddenly someone behind her gave her a gentle push, she staggered a few steps forward, and stood still on the long table, with a plate of red thread flipping over the mold seal in her hand.
Looking back, I saw Qiu Shuang pursing her lips and laughing, and then leaned in and whispered, "Sister Pei'er should eat this." ”
Pei'er blushed all of a sudden, and Qiushuang wanted to make a few more jokes, but seeing that she didn't say a word, she left in a hurry.
Zheng Lingyi was sitting under the porch watching them laugh, and she also saw the movement between Pei'er and Qiushuang, she shook a fan of Chang'e holding a rabbit, and motioned for Qiushuang to come over and speak, "What's wrong with Pei'er?" ”
Qiushuang was a little uneasy, frowned and said: "I don't know if I'm ashamed, it's also a slave who is fast-talking, and I have seen the Zhen Nursing Institute in the outer courtyard talking with Sister Pei'er for a few days." ”
When she said this, she quickly explained, "They don't have anything else, they just stand together and talk, the slave and maid looked at the Zhen Nursing Home and looked very cautious about Sister Pei'er's appearance, so she wondered if he had moved something, so she made fun of Sister Pei'er, thinking that Sister Pei'er had no intention of Zhen Nursing Home, so the slave maid's words made her unhappy." ”
Zheng Lingyi glanced at Lu Nong, shook the fan in his hand, and did not speak.
"Slave, slave apologize to Sister Pei'er." Qiushuang thought for a moment and said.
"Huh." Lu Nong stopped her and said, "It's not a big deal, don't you want to go, Pei'er is delicate, whether it's shame or annoyance, don't mention it again." For your whole life, Mrs. has a plan in her heart. ”
These words made Qiushuang blush, Zheng Lingyi laughed, and said, "Let's play, everyone is relaxed and relaxed today." ”
Autumn Frost was blessed, and went back to the maid pile to joke.
Zheng Lingyi remembered the past that Pei'er had experienced, sighed, and said, "You pay attention to this matter, if Zhen Xin is a prodigal, immediately beat him, don't disturb Pei'er again!" If, if he is really interested in Pe'er, and seeing how true he is, alas, I'm only afraid that even if he is sincere, Pe'er has a lot of pain in his heart, and it will be difficult to let go of himself. ”
"Yes." Seeing that Zheng Lingyi was a little relieved, Lu Nong was now a little depressed because of Pei'er's matter, and hurriedly smiled: "I don't know what good dishes our adults have ordered in Yueshilou?" The little master knew that he had to go out to eat, and he was alive all morning. ”
Zheng Lingyi laughed, his eyes were as warm as moonlight, and said, "I don't know." ”
Qixi Festival, although it is not as lively as the Lantern Festival, but there are still many stalls on the street, Wu Punishment said yesterday that he would take them to the street for a stroll, and the sauce was naturally very happy, how could Zheng Lingyi sweep the children's interest?
Jiang Sheng is not afraid of losing it, he doesn't want to be hugged much now, but as soon as he goes out, in order to be able to stand tall and see far, he always nests on Wu Zhi's shoulders, hugging Wu Zhi's neck tightly, and he can't see the endless colors at a glance.
Zheng Lingyi was also held in Wu Zheng's arms, and Lu Zhu and Zhen Xin guarded left and right, not letting some reckless or harboring evil intentions get close.
Watching the long fire dragon erupt from the artist's mouth, Jiang Sheng subconsciously covered his eyebrows in amazement, afraid of being burned by the fire, and his movements were funny and cute.
There was a lot of people around, in addition to laughter, there was also the sound of bargaining and shouting, and there was a woman's soft laughter that slipped into Zheng Lingyi's ears inexplicably and clearly, feeling a little familiar.
She looked around, but found no acquaintances, only thought that she was hallucinating.
"Daddy, daddy, why is this guy squirting. Fire? Sauce couldn't stop asking, like a spring sparrow, like a summer cicada, it's always unfinished.
After Wu Zhi explained this problem and the next question, he was really dry, and when he went to the upstairs compartment of Yue Shi Lou to sit down, before the food was served, he drank two bowls of water first.
Jiang Sheng looked at him with blinked eyes and said, "Dad, are you thirsty?" ”
Zheng Lingyi couldn't help laughing, and Wu Zhu was helpless.
Fortunately, a bowl of brown sugar pine nut tea was served first, and the mouth of the sauce was fed, so that Wu Zhi and Zheng Lingyi could gossip a few words, knowing that Zheng Lingyi liked the compartment facing the street, he deliberately made it early, looked down from downstairs, and looked at the pedestrians on the street, and the traffic was busy.
There is one person in the crowd who is very top-notch, even if he is not wearing an official uniform, he has his hair tied up in a regular manner, and he is wearing regular clothes, but his body momentum is still different from that of the people.
"Huh? Isn't that Marquis Shen? Zheng Lingyi punished Wu.
Wu Zhizheng ripped open a persimmon, the persimmon meat was silky, half soft and half crystalline, he gave half to Zheng Lingyi, and then glanced at Zheng Lingyi's line of sight, and said, "It's really him." ”
Shen Gui is not alone, there is also a woman wearing a hat beside him, looking graceful and delicate, not like Yan's.
There was a string of children cheering all the way from the crowd and squeezing over, they were holding sugar gourds with bamboo skewers in their hands, Shen Gui stretched out his hand to wrap around the woman's waist, and the woman's skirt swayed, like a lotus leaf edge, which was firmly protected by Shen Gui behind him, and never touched the slightest.
Zheng Lingyi knew that Shen Gui had always had a bit of a romantic name, and he had a lot of confidants, so when he saw this scene, he only lowered his eyes to eat tea, and said with a little disapproval: "No matter how husband and wife are not harmonious, it's not good to take an outer room out for a visit during the Qixi Festival." ”
"What is an outer chamber?" Jiang Sheng pricked up his ears again and asked curiously.
Zheng Lingyi didn't pay attention to what Jiang Sheng heard, and said with some embarrassment: "You can't stop your mouth after eating?" ”
Jiang Sheng pursed his mouth aggrievedly, but he was not convinced, poked his head and glanced around, and when Zheng Lingyi pressed it, he also said: "They buy rattles for the little dolls!" ”
Zheng Lingyi turned his head to look and saw that the woman picked a red rattle wrapped in a circle of copper nails on the stall, and was shaking it for Shen Gui to see, revealing a slender white wrist and hanging a string of plain silver bells.
Jiang Sheng said well, the rattle can only be bought for the child, look at the woman's narrow waist, even if she is pregnant, I am afraid that the month is still young, and there is no reason to go out to squeeze.
Counting the days, the aunt in Shen Gui's room is about to give birth, Zheng Lingyi thought wonderingly, "This outer room is a good skill, and it actually buys things for Shen Gui's aunt." ’
She thought about it again, "People's hearts are not necessarily bad, in the end, they are also Shen Gui's children, and there are also love houses and Wu." ’
Youchan was born here, Zheng Lingyi didn't dare to say her thoughts anymore, lest this clever little ghost learn to say something 'outer room' in front of others, then she really wants to get into a crack in the ground.
At this time, the food was also served one after another, Zheng Lingyi was not good at spying on Shen Gui's peach blossom affairs, took chopsticks to eat vegetables, and when he was full of wine and food, he glanced at the street again, and there was no Shen Gui and the woman anymore.
Because of this incident, Zheng Lingyi was reminded that a few days after the Chinese Valentine's Day, Shen Qin came to play at home, and Zheng Lingyi asked her to help pick a gift for Shen Gui's child.
This gift is not easy to give, it is not good if it is heavy, it is not a slap in the face of the Yan family, it is not good if it is light, this is Shen Gui's first child, and Shen Gui and Wu Zhi have always had a friendship.
Shen Qin took a look at the few gifts that Zheng Lingyi had selected, pointed to a green jade lotus handle lotus pendant, and said, "This is interesting, give it to me." ”
Zheng Lingyi scolded with a smile: "I asked you to pick a gift for your nephew, why did you pick it up for yourself?" ”
Shen Qin put his hand on his lower abdomen, raised his eyes and looked at Zheng Lingyi without speaking.
"Ahh Zheng Lingyi screamed in surprise, hurriedly covered his mouth, and said, "How long has it been?" How are you doing today? Just tell me to go! ”
"It's been three months, I've been holding back in the courtyard for so long, just waiting for you to breathe today!" Shen Qin's cheeks were red, as if he was drunk.
Zheng Lingyi asked Lu Nong to take the gem box, held the collar in his hand, rummaged in the box, and said: "This lotus pendant is interesting, it is simpler, I will give you a few more gemstone beads, and then build a gold collar, tsk, the gold ware is more vulgar, Lu Nong, you go to the warehouse to bring the jade collar." ”
Shen Qin changed into a circle chair covered with thick cushions and sat down, watched Zheng Lingyi choose gems, and said with a smile: "You treat me so well, I will give you a gift for my brother's child, as soon as I know men and women, I will choose a gift for you and go." ”
Zheng Lingyi was not polite to Shen Qin, and responded well.
