The days of quiet residence were calm, and the undercurrent was turbulent for five days.

In the afternoon, Nanyuan came to the mother-in-law to spread the word, saying that General Wu wanted to see Zheng Lingyi.

Somehow, Zheng Lingyi was not surprised, she even felt that Old General Wu had long wanted to use her mouth to hear the news of Wu Punishment, but she had some scruples, so she delayed it until today.

In South Park, Zheng Lingyi has only been to it twice.

It was still summer, and such a huge yard was almost barren, with no flowers and no grass.

The subordinates are waiting day after day, and naturally there are no dead branches and leaves, gravel and dust, but there is a lack of vitality in this courtyard, and it always shows a bleak color.

"Luzhu, bring the two pots of triangular plums in our yard, I will take them to my father-in-law." Zheng Lingyi remembered the withered trees in the South Garden, so he commanded.

The green bead replied and turned to get it.

Lu Nong waited for Zheng Lingyi to put on his coat, but he was a little hesitant, "Sister, those two pots of triangular plums were found by my brother from outside, you sent the old general, will he not be happy?" ”

Zheng Lingyi also thought about this, she thought about it, and still said: "No, he is not so stingy." ”

Seeing that Zheng Lingyi was determined, Lu Nong had nothing to say, so he asked Mrs. Wang to carry the triangle plum and follow Zheng Lingyi to the South Garden.

Old General Wu seemed to have told Nanyuan's subordinates, so as soon as they saw Zheng Lingyi coming, they greeted them enthusiastically, looked at the triangular plum in Mrs. Wang's hand, and said, "Third young lady, is this for Nanyuan?" ”

"Yes, this flower is easy to feed, water it in the house, and it will bloom in a few days."

Zheng Lingyi didn't let Nanyuan's mothers-in-law take over, and moved straight into the house.

When General Wu arrived, he saw Zheng Lingyi and Lu Zhu discussing where to place the flowers.

"Find two flower stools."

Old General Wu suddenly spoke, and when Zheng Lingyi heard this, he hurriedly turned around and said, "Father-in-law Wan'an." ”

"You don't have to pay so much attention to the courtesy."

General Wu said, pointing to the round stool for Zheng Lingyi to sit down, and a tassel of whiskers was revealed in his clenched fist, as if he was holding something like a string of beads.

The triangular plum stood in the corner of the hall on the left and the right, and these two clusters of hard green made the room have some vitality.

Zheng Lingyi sat at the bottom, nearly a zhang away from General Wu, and the two were speechless for a while, but they were a little embarrassed.

General Wu looked at Zheng Lingyi carefully, and saw that there were no scars or marks on her face, although she knew that it was Lu's handwriting, but she was still a little uncomfortable in her heart, and said: "Taining and I have no good wife, which hurts you and the third child." ”

The gesture of these words was a little low, Zheng Lingyi had never heard such words that were almost apologetic from the mouths of the elders, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart, and hurriedly got up and said, "Father-in-law is serious." ”

"Sit, you sit." Old General Wu waved his hand, and Zheng Lingyi sat down apprehensively.

Old General Wu spoke several times, but stopped stupidly, and Zheng Lingyi didn't speak, just waited patiently.

There was a wooden box on the coffee table in General Wu's hand, and a thick cotton cushion was placed in the wooden box.

He breathed a sigh of relief, first put the string of chanterelle beeswax beads in his hand into the wooden box carefully, and then said to Zheng Lingyi: "I know that you are a smart and beautiful good boy, and I am also a lot relieved that the third child can marry you." ”

"Daddy praised it." Zheng Lingyi is not very familiar with General Wu, and he is always cautious when he speaks, not daring to go beyond Lei Chi by half a step.

Old General Wu looked at her, smiled lightly, his eyes were soft, and said, "You are so timid, you can get along well with the third child." ”

"Well, he's been nice to me." Zheng Lingyi said, with a smile in his eyes.

Old General Wu also laughed with her, but the light in his eyes dimmed, and the lines on his mouth looked old and sad, as if he had thought of something from the past.

"Here's for you." General Wu handed the wooden box to Zheng Lingyi, and Luzhu hurriedly stepped forward to take it and handed it to Zheng Lingyi.

"This is the third child's favorite jewelry before his mother's death, beeswax is fragile, bumpy and bumpy, too wet and too dry will have cracks, I don't have her delicate mind, can't raise this beeswax beads. Now I'll leave it in your hands, even if you can raise it for me. ”

Although General Wu said this, Zheng Lingyi looked at the string of beeswax in his hand, which was smooth and thick, shaped like a small and round goose egg, and he didn't find the slightest flaw when he looked closely, so it can be seen that he was always playing with it and carefully maintained.

is still so precious to a relic of the Lu family, it can be seen that General Wu has long felt that the Lu family is a betrayer.

Old General Wu saw that she looked at her seriously, and said: "This string of beeswax beads is not white honey, and it is not very valuable, you don't have to be too nervous." ”

"Although it is not white honey, this beeswax is close to chanterelle red, white honey is rare in the world, and chanterelle red is already very valuable."

Zheng Lingyi has actually never seen any white honey chicken fat red beeswax, but she has read one or two in books, and today it is really eye-opening.

Zheng Lingyi raised her eyes and saw that General Wu was looking at her in surprise, and it was strange that she had extensive knowledge.

"Third child, how are you doing your homework lately? Autumn is coming soon, what do you lack? General Wu didn't ask Zheng Lingyi, but talked about the side matter.

As soon as Zheng Lingyi heard this, he knew that this was his focus today.

"There is nothing missing, father-in-law can rest assured." Zheng Lingyi carefully put away the bead string and said to General Wu: "Fujun is not a dead scholar, he is very smart and thoughtful. As long as no one deliberately stumbles, I'm sure he'll be on the list. ”

There was something in her words.

Old General Wu looked at Zheng Lingyi silently for a while, and suddenly stroked his forehead and smiled, his smile was both lost and happy.

"Don't pay attention to the people in Lingge, if she does anything, just come and tell me, in the future, Nanyuan, you can come if you want, you don't have to pass it on in advance."

It is expected that General Wu is willing to support Zheng Lingyi, but Zheng Lingyi thinks that there are more places where Qiao's can do his hands and feet, and it is better to prevent it before it happens than to remedy it afterwards.

But she rarely asked her father to seek refuge, she never mentioned it to Zheng Guogong before, and now she is a little unspeakable to General Wu.

General Wu saw that Zheng Lingyi seemed to have something to say, so he waited patiently, but Zheng Lingyi was very hesitant and didn't know what he was hesitating.

Zheng Lingyi had a plate of bean cake with tea at hand, she picked up the bean cake and tasted it, and said to General Wu: "Father-in-law, is your food here made by the small kitchen in Nanyuan?" ”

General Wu didn't know what she was doing when she suddenly asked this, but said truthfully: "The three meals are made in the small kitchen, I don't often eat pastries, and I only take some from the big kitchen when I have visitors." What's wrong, it doesn't taste good? ”

Zheng Lingyi shook his head and said, "It's not that it tastes bad, but it's not made by people under your hands, and it's always scary to eat some." ”

General Wu understood what she meant, thought for a while, and said, "If you live quietly, why worry about this?" Besides, didn't you allow Mother Jin's right to buy? ”

Wu Xian had already said that General Wu did not allow him to live in another house, and staying in Wu's house was also the only condition for General Wu to help him marry Zheng Lingyi.

Therefore, General Wu's face is slightly unkind at the moment, after all, he is a general who conquered the battlefield in the early years, and once he shows a slight displeasure, it looks a little terrifying.

Zheng Lingyi was used to seeing people's faces, and with a glance at General Wu, she noticed it, and said with a smile: "The autumn season is only more than ten days, and my mother-in-law has recently sent supplements to Jingju and the fourth brother every day, but my husband always doesn't eat it." ”

Hearing that Zheng Lingyi had come to complain, not that he wanted to live in another mansion, General Wu's face softened slightly, and said, "If you don't eat, don't eat." She won't be so kind-hearted, looking forward to the titles of the third and fourth gold lists. ”

Hearing General Wu taunt Qiao's face-to-face, Zheng Lingyi was not embarrassed at all, but smiled slightly.

General Wu felt more and more that his daughter-in-law here was not simple, and when he looked obedient, he always felt like a thorny flower bone.

He thought about Zheng Lingyi's words again, and suddenly got up and said, "You wait." So he got up and went into the inner room.

Zheng Lingyi didn't know what he was going to do, but when he came out, he held a handful of deeds in his hand.

Zhang Zhang's deed book was pinched in his hand like waste paper, and then looking at the layout of the South Garden, he knew that General Wu was really a person who didn't know how to spend money.

"You don't have to worry about what Zhonggong gave, spend your own money to buy some things." Old General Wu said, and handed a handful of the deed to Zheng Lingyi very richly, and he was stunned when he saw the green beads.

Zheng Lingyi didn't take it, and it didn't take it, so he shrunk his hand and said, "No, no, you gave it on the day you got married, so it's really unnecessary." ”

"Take it, the third child is definitely not wanted, you can take it. The furniture under the base belongs to you, don't look at it now, it seems to be enough, and in the future, there will be a man and a woman, and there will be more places to use the money. ”

General Wu's words seemed to be euphemistically urging Zheng Lingyi to have a child, he was a man in the end, and he was embarrassed to say it too clearly, so he stopped at the point.

Since entering the house, Zheng Lingyi has really become a little nervous and cramped, and he didn't even dare to say more, so he responded and accepted the stack of deeds.

It's also a little strange to say, this Wu Yongjun has been married for many years, and there has been no sound yet.

Wu Yongan had a daughter last year, but it was not smooth when Gao Man was born, and he is still taking medicine to recuperate, so he will have to have another child next year.

Qiao's was not very satisfied with this, she didn't know what kind of attitude Zheng Lingyi had towards Goldman, but Zheng Lingyi was waiting in front of her, and she had to listen to her beat Wan Yuanyuan almost every day.

In fact, there are a lot of concubines in Wu Yongjun's room, except for a child who died early in the early years, after all these years, there has been no sound.

Although Zheng Lingyi didn't have a good impression of Wan Yuanyuan, he also thought about it in private, maybe it was Wu Yongjun's fault.

After all, he had harmed a lot of servants when he was young, and his body had already been exhausted, and it was normal for him to have sexual intercourse.

"Okay, it's not too early, you should go back early." General Wu said, "You must take care of the third child these days, if it is the title of the gold list, you can also raise your eyebrows in front of your sisters." ”

Zheng Lingyi smiled slightly, and boldly teased: "Father-in-law knows women's temperament. ”

General Wu snorted and said: "Actually, this is not true, whether it is a man or a woman, a person, it is to worship the high and the low." ”

Two jokes eased the atmosphere.
