Chapter 163: Pastry
The beginning of spring belongs to wood, but the wood must be water, so the rain that follows the spring, and the east wind is thawed, then scattered and rained.
At present, this spring rain is just the spring spirit sneaking in with the wind.
After a night, the mountains are green, the lakes are green, and spring has taken over the land.
"I don't know the news of your promotion, did my aunt know about it at that time?"
Zheng Lingyi stood on the edge of the north window, looking at the continuous spring rain like mist and wind, and he didn't know what the past had come to mind, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, but his eyes were extremely lonely.
Wu Zhi sat on the rocking chair and pulled Zheng Lingyi into his arms and hugged him, Zheng Lingyi only felt that the whole person fell into a strong and warm arm.
She sat on Wu Punishment's lap and leaned on his chest, and the two were close to each other, very ambiguous and intimate.
Although Zheng Lingyi was a little embarrassed, he was really greedy for gentleness and was reluctant to get up.
"Even if I didn't know it then, I should know now, isn't my aunt guarding us by our side?" Wu Zhi said firmly.
After Aunt Jiang entered the soil for peace, they brought back Aunt Jiang's tablet, specially sorted out the West Pavilion, and burned incense every day.
Zheng Lingyi looked up at him, his eyes were wet, but the haze was dispelled by a smile.
Wu Zhi looked at her quietly, and finally waited for a soft . A soft and active kiss.
Midorino pushed open a crack in the door, and saw two vague figures next to each other, and shrank back in an instant, and it was hard for her to react so quickly and not make a single movement.
Zheng Lingyi didn't realize it, although Wu Zhi saw it, he would never disturb the charm at this moment.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Huan'er saw that Lu Nong had retreated from the door of the inner room, and asked puzzled.
Lu Nong was still steady, and said with a normal face: "It's nothing, the masters don't want us to disturb and serve, you can send this pastry to the small kitchen first." β
Huan'er blinked, smiled strangely, said a local word of unknown meaning to herself, and went out on her feet.
Midori looked at her undignified appearance and shook her head, thinking very worriedly, "It's really hard to change. β
The spring rain outside is endless, if there is leisure, you will only feel that the rain scene is picturesque, if you are pinching the work at hand, you will only think that the rain is endless, annoying very.
Mother Jin asked the mother-in-law on the Zhuangzi outside to pick a lot of tender wild vegetables, in addition to eating them while they were fresh, the rest wanted to be saved, or dried or pickled, but the heavens were not beautiful, so they could only spend some salt.
Outside the door, an oil-paper umbrella with green mist from the distant mountains floated in first, and Green Beads came back with an empty food box.
She looked at Lu Nong standing by the door of the main house, and she didn't know how long she had been out of her mind, she bent her eyes and smiled, and said, "Sister, what's wrong, why is it standing by the door, be careful to let the moisture chill you." β
"As for me, I don't want to think that I'm the one who just came back from outside."
Lu Nong took the food box from Lu Zhu's hand, dragged her to the edge of the brazier, and dusted off the moisture from her clothes.
She saw Luzhu holding a little finger and carefully wiping the little silver pig hanging from her waist with a handkerchief.
This little silver bead is cute and cute, it is a gift from Zheng Lingyi on her birthday last year, and the green bead has always cherished it.
Lu Nong looked up at the little silver pig, and saw that she was wearing a string of colorful beads of the right size on her wrist, so that it would be easier to do things, so the sleeves of her dress were shortened by half an inch, and a circle of brown cloth was inlaid with a circle.
There is a flat jade ring hanging on the button on her chest, which she bought on the street when she went out to buy, although it is not very expensive, but it just sets off her freshwater-colored clothes, Zheng Lingyi also praised her for her increasingly sophisticated vision.
Lu Zhu learned to decorate herself, her face was slightly powdered, her cheeks were smeared with rouge, and a pair of small earrings were pasted on her earlobes.
Compared with the hairy girl with a double bun at the beginning, the green beads are now much more graceful.
Lu Nong hopes that Huan'er can also have such an improvement, not only externally, but also internally with temperament and self-cultivation.
Green Bead's naΓ―ve and enthusiastic temperament has never changed, but the aura is a little calmer, but it is difficult to draw the skin of the tiger, and Huan'er is afraid that he will not be able to transform like Green Bead.
Midori sighed inwardly and picked up a rotting leaf that had fallen on Midorizu's shoulder.
Zheng Lingyi called in the house, and the two servants responded in unison, and Lu Nong said to Lu Zhu: "You just came back from outside, go and rest." β
Lu Zhu shook his head, walked to the inner room, and said with a smile: "I was in a carriage all the way, what is there to be tired?" β
Zheng Lingyi and Wu Zhu were both holding the book and reading, one sitting on a rocking chair and the other sitting on a futon, always.
"Luzhu is back, how is Chang Chang today?" Zheng Lingyi said, and said coquettishly to Lu Nong: "I'm a little hungry." β
Lu Nong replied first: "There are ready-made jujube cakes in the kitchen, and the slave maid will bring you some." β
Lu Zhu's gaze moved down with Lu Nong, and quickly turned back to Zheng Lingyi and said: "Sister Chang'er is very good, she has a quiet temperament, accompanied by Qiaoluo and Dongni, staying in the room to embroider and write, it won't suffocate her, but Sister Qiaoluo can't accompany her for a few days." β
Zheng Lingyi frowned slightly, nodded, and said to Lu Zhu: "Today. Can you show Aunt Cao the dowry list? β
"This is natural, the slave maid has no bottom in her heart, you still don't teach me, seize this opportunity, the slave and maid will naturally not let it go." Lu Zhu puffed out her cheeks slightly, and said coquettishly.
Zheng Lingyi smiled and said, "How can you learn by heart?" β
Lu Zhu also pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "The slave knows your thoughts, and today I asked Aunt Cao to take a look, she helped the slave and maid make up a few things, it should be appropriate." And Sister Chang said that her aunt was born...... The aunt saved a lot of silver for Sister Qiaoluo as a dowry, even if the face is not beautiful, the inside must be full. β
At the mention of Aunt Jiang, Lu Zhu still stumbled, but quickly covered it up.
Zheng Lingyi pretended not to care, and Lu Zhu took the revised dowry list to Zheng Lingyi to see, and then took it to the warehouse, looking at what was ready-made, so there was no need to buy it.
When Lu Nong brought the pastry, he also brought a plate of salty fried oil fruit to Wu Xuan.
"The slave maid is also forgetful, and when she arrived in the small kitchen, she found that the second young lady had sent lotus cakes and cherry blossoms today. Peach jelly. Midorino said, putting down the pastries full of tea trays.
Wu punished and swept that Sakura. Peach Jelly glanced at it and seemed thoughtful.
Zheng Lingyi thought he wanted to eat the cherry blossoms. Peach Jelly, a little hesitantly said, "You better not eat the things sent from the kitchen outside." β
Wu Zhi said very simply: "Okay." β
Since Gao Man was also in charge of the house, there have been many more things sent to the retreat.
The satin of the spring coat was too late to be sent, so Gao Man also folded it into silver and gave it to Zheng Lingyi.
Gao Man also asked if he wanted a few slaves to come over, but Zheng Ling politely refused without thinking about it.
Zhonggong is a slave, although the monthly money does not have to be paid by himself, but the body deed cannot be pinched in his own hands, and it is always unstable.
Gao Man is really not afraid of annoying Qiao's family, and has sent a lot of silver to the quiet house in the past few days, and Qiao's heart is only afraid that his heart is bleeding.
Although they are all making up for the previous deductions, Zheng Lingyi still feels that the silver is a little hot, but he can't send it back to others, so he can only tell Lu Nong to put the silver into the account.
It's just silver, what annoys Zheng Lingyi is the pastries in the portions, she doesn't covet these things, but she has a headache.
She was not so suspicious, and felt that Gao Man would also have any bad intentions, but she was afraid that Qiao's would take the opportunity to make trouble.
"So, the slave and maid went to the bottom?" Lu Nong looked at these two plates of pastries with pity, and asked Zheng Lingyi for his meaning.
Zheng Lingyi also felt a pity, especially that Sakura. Peach jelly, she really wants to eat it, but this suspicion is annoying, and it always lingers.
"Pour it, don't bring any pastries to us in the future, no matter how you say it, you have to wait until the exam is over."
Zheng Lingyi closed his eyes and waved his hand, motioning for Lu Nong to take the pastry out.
Seeing her cute appearance of reluctance to cut love, Wu Zhi couldn't help but purse the corners of her mouth and smile secretly, and at the same time a little annoyed. It takes at least three years for a peach tree to bear fruit, so it's still a long time.
Zheng Lingyi ate the jujube mud cake, the taste of the jujube mud cake was warm and sweet, but it gradually soothed the regret, and fed Wu Zhi half a piece, and then took an oil fruit from his hand to eat, although there was it on the plate, but I always felt that it tasted better to eat it.
Midorino watched the couple frolicking, and walked out of the inner room with a smile on his face, all the way to the small kitchen.
Kim's mother was not in the kitchenette, probably off.
The door of the small kitchen was hidden, and Midori pushed the door in, not expecting to see a sneaky figure on the edge of the cupboard.
Lu Nong screamed in fright, startling the man too, and turned around in horror, it turned out to be Huan'er.
"Huan'er?" Midori breathed a sigh of relief and said puzzledly, "What are you doing here?" No wonder I can't find you anywhere, why don't you stay outside Madame's house? β
"Isn't Pell there?" Huan'er wiped the corners of her mouth and tilted her head and said.
"What is this called? Pell is there to keep watch, so you don't have to be there? You two are on the same errand. β
Midori put the pastry on the stove and stepped forward with a frown.
Huan'er muttered: "I was a little hungry, so I came to the small kitchen to find some food, and I ate two bites, sister, you came." β
Midori looked behind her, and the bowl of chicken soup left over from lunch in the cupboard was bottomed out, and said that she had only eaten two bites.
She shook her head helplessly and said, "Okay, when you're full, go on an errand." Don't always bully Pelle, you're a second-class maid like her. β
Huan'er replied unconvinced, and saw Lu Nong picking up the plate of cherries. The peach jelly was poured into the swill bucket, and he hurriedly screamed, and hurriedly rushed over to grab the plate of lotus cake.
"Sister, how can you be willing to fall!"
Huan'er just came to this small kitchen, just to find these pastries, when she went all the way to the main house, she was already very coveted, thinking that there are dozens of lotus cakes, and eating one will not arouse suspicion, but she can't find it, so she retreated and drank a bowl of chicken soup.
Lu Nong actually felt a pity, but she also had to follow Zheng Lingyi's instructions, so she said, "This can't be eaten." β
