Zheng Lingyi didn't go to Lingge for three days, Qiao's got noticed, saying that he went to Chen's house, went to the county lord's mansion, and asked his sister to have tea.

It's all the places Zheng Lingyi goes to on weekdays, and the things he does, so he doesn't think it's weird.

"Does she really want to be so vague about this?" Qiao always felt that Zheng Lingyi was not such a simple-minded person.

The wooden fish and Buddhist scriptures were set aside, and the lard snacks were served.

Grandma Sun glanced at the plate of dim sum, and said to Qiao's flatteringly: "Madam, what else do you say she can do?" After all, he is young, and he has never tasted the trouble of the people below. ”

"You don't know, she was born as a concubine, and she is used to seeing the eyes of her subordinates, so she won't be scared."

Qiao's and Zheng Lingyi clashed several times, and they didn't dare to underestimate her too much.

Grandma Sun comforted her a few more words, but Qiao didn't want to listen anymore, so she said, "Does your daughter have any news to hand over?" ”

Grandma Sun had the news that she could invite merit, and hurriedly said: "The second young lady has been living a good life these days, and everyone in the courtyard listens to her, and even the second brother asks her to turn around." ”

Qiao's hearing was very unhappy, and the grandmother-in-law added fuel and vinegar and said: "The young lady doesn't ask the old slave's daughter to serve her brother closely, she can only pay close attention, and the others don't find anything, but I feel that the second young lady doesn't seem to be enthusiastic about the third young lady when she comes in." ”

"Huh." Qiao Shi smiled contemptuously and said: "I know, don't look at the second daughter-in-law who seems to be very knowledgeable, but after all, she is a woman, and if she can't say it well, her sisters may have a dislike, not to mention the concubine." ”

Grandma Sun echoed and said a few words, and Cuilong saw that Qiao's was a little annoyed with her, so she drove her out.

Qiao Shi was still immersed in the pleasure of provoking the relationship between Gao Zheng and the two, and only after a while did he say: "Ask the people below to do things, and you can still ask her to drag this matter away like this?" ”

"Naturally, it won't." Cuilong smiled: "Madame, just wait to watch the show." ”

At noon, Wang Er's family took a few mothers-in-law to the quiet residence.

Hearing the report, Zheng Lingyi was not surprised at all, but just glanced at Lu Nong.

Lu Nong was blessed and went out of the courtyard.

The mothers-in-law were strung together, staring at her, and the green eyes walked away without squinting.

Zheng Lingyi let the group of people in and listened to them chatter and cry about how miserable their family's little year was.

"Young lady, you can't drag us people to give an explanation. We are all lowly and cheap, and if you leak between your fingers, you can call our family an old snack for three years and five years. ”

Wang Er's family didn't know if they were thieves, and they were afraid that Zheng Lingyi would simply tear their faces to make a fuss because they threw mud on the road, so this opening was to vomit bitterness and make a pitiful appearance.

Zheng Lingyi looked at her with interest with a handful of tears and snot, and turned his head to Lu Zhu and said, "Then settle the account." ”

Yesterday, Lu Nong came back and brought the news of Mrs. Qiu's son, and the three of them calculated the accounts last night, and their hearts were already clear, and now they are just making a show for these people.

Lu Zhu sat down and fiddled with the abacus like a female account room, this ability to calculate accounts and read was taught by Zheng Lingyi with one hand and one foot.

Fen Niang stood far away, looking at it with envy.

"In this year's festival, the pig fat is more expensive, which is 50 yuan, and the multigrain noodles have also risen a little, which is 20 yuan. In this way, each person is seventy words. ”

Lu Zhu said, looking up at Wang Er's family, Wang Er's family nodded again and again, very happy.

They knew that Zheng Lingyi didn't get a favor in front of Qiao's family, thinking that she was going to use her own private room to fill the gap, no matter what she used to fill the gap, as long as she gave silver, it was a good thing.

Lu Zhu smiled, looked down at the account book and said: "The price of charcoal during the New Year Festival is also expensive, and the charcoal used in your house is cheaper, but it will cost fifteen yuan a catty." This year, it was cold early, so the charcoal was started from Meng Dongyue, and it was calculated that sixty catties had been used in your house, and if it was counted on each of your heads, it was six catties, and each person was ninety catties. ”

"What do you do with charcoal money? This has always been a case, which head of the family does not give some charcoal to warm his body in winter, and he will not be able to die? Wang Erjia sensed that something was wrong and argued.

Zheng Lingyi smiled: "You can burn mud cakes." ”

The mother-in-law was instantly silent.

Lu Zhu continued: "Count it up, you still owe twenty wen to the house, come, if you have money today, you will pay it today, if you don't have it, it doesn't matter, just deduct it from the monthly money." ”

She closed the account book with a 'snap' and smiled slyly at the mothers-in-law.

I don't know who poked Wang Er's family, she came back to her senses and defended: "Madam, what do you mean by this, the charcoal fire is not enough, can't we dry some mud cakes?" You have to deduct the money backwards, what kind of statement is this? ”

"Not enough charcoal? The number of mothers-in-law who keep vigil in my courtyard is about the same. ”

"The charcoal of the dwelling has always been better and resistant to burning." Wang Erjia was quick to talk for a while and argued.

Zheng Lingyi said slowly: "The market is very familiar?" ”

Wang Erjia choked again, and said forcefully: "We are lowly and coarse people, and we only understand these things." ”

Zheng Lingyi was a little tired of arguing with your words and my words, and only glanced at Wang Erjia.

At this time, a person suddenly fell in the courtyard, followed by Lu Nong and Zhen Xin, Zhen Xin pulled the man's hair bun and told him to raise his head so that everyone could see it clearly.

This man was selling charcoal for these women in the side door.

The mother-in-law instantly went limp, and the Wang Er's family was also shocked.

Zhen Xin bowed to Zheng Lingyi again, and quickly dragged the man out.

Zheng Lingyi looked at Wang Erjia and said with a smile: "Actually, these ninety texts are really not a lot of money, but there is collusion here and outside, but the old general can't tolerate it. ”

Wang Erjia's reasoning was speechless, and Zhou Zhong's family took the lead and knelt down and kowtowed to Zheng Lingyi and begged for mercy.

Wang Erjia stood for a moment, but he still couldn't bear it, and he wanted to kneel down, Zheng Lingyi glanced at Lu Zhu, and Lu Zhu stepped forward and set her up.

Wang Erjia didn't want to kneel, but now that Luzhu didn't tell her to kneel, she was a little flustered.

"The young lady thinks that she is smart and capable? The old lady doesn't pursue it, what pomp and circumstance to show to whom! Wang Erjia broke free of the green bead's pincers and simply attacked.

"Wang! Woof! Woof! Jiaojiao barked loudly, which frightened the Wang Erjia and silenced him.

Zheng Lingyi called 'Jiaojiao', Jiaojiao stopped, she bared her teeth again, and returned to Zheng Lingyi's feet.

Zheng Lingyi was not frightened by her crazy appearance, and said methodically: "The mud cake dares to be spread on the ground to dry like this, you say that your mother-in-law doesn't know, and I don't believe it." ”

Zheng Lingyi touched Jiaojiao's head again and said: "Some things, as long as they are not pierced, they don't matter, even if they are left under the moment, you can pretend not to see them, but if you open this opening, you can't say anything if you don't deal with it." ”

Wang Erjia was really a little flustered at this time, and he couldn't kneel down, so he stood upright.

"I have reported this matter to the old general yesterday, if you are serving in the outer court, I am afraid that you have already played the board now, but after all, you are serving in the inner court, and you are in this mansion, but you can't do it if you don't punish it. How to punish it, you can tell for yourselves. ”

Zhou Zhong's family resignedly said: "Fine, fine the monthly money." ”

"Isn't that light?" Zheng Lingyi said very gently.

"Then, shave your ears." And humane.

Zheng Lingyi shook his head and said disapprovingly: "Hurt your face." ”

The person below stopped talking, Zheng Lingyi blinked, and said to Wang Erjia: "I heard that you have to use it in front of your mother-in-law, and you are in charge of the big and small gardens, and you can't do without you." ”

Wang Erjia sighed, not knowing whether to vomit or swallow,

The mother-in-law looked at her with wide eyes, hoping that she would forgive them with her golden words.

"Everyone else, all go to the outer courtyard, and it can be regarded as a family reunion. As for the deed, the bookkeeper in the outer courtyard will naturally take care of what his mother-in-law wants, don't worry. ”

The mother-in-law suddenly cried with a sad face, and one wanted to cry, but he was glanced at by the green beads and closed his mouth.

"What's wrong? If you don't deduct your monthly money and don't play the board, are you still not satisfied? Zheng Lingyi looked at the mothers-in-law who were kneeling on the ground and refused to leave, and pretended to be surprised.

Zheng Lingyi glanced at the green beads and raised his fingers.

Lu Zhu said, "What are you still waiting to do?" Pack up your baggage and go to the outer courtyard, still lying here, do you want to live quietly and take care of your meal? ”

Zhou Zhong's family was about to speak, but he was blocked by Lu Zhu's glance, and he turned around step by step, and the last glance fell on Wang Erjia's body.

Wang Er's family was still standing, Zheng Lingyi ignored it and beckoned Jiaojiao into the house.

Lu Zhu hugged his arms to his chest and looked at Wang Er's family, Wang Er's family seemed to want to say something, but let Lu Zhu stare at him alive.

"Madam, why did you let go of the Wang Er's family? It's just that she leads the most trouble. Green beads said incomprehensibly.

Zheng Lingyi and Lu Nong looked at each other and smiled, and Lu Nong answered on his behalf, "Do you think that the Wang Er family looks happy because of Mrs. Wang's favoritism?" ”

Lu Zhu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's not like I'm happy, but I'm a little confused." ”

Lu Nong pursed her lips and smiled: "In the next few days, she has to be scared." ”

Lu Zhu still didn't understand, and said, "Why?" ”

Lu Nong explained: "If you are just a follower, and you make a mistake, and you have suffered a lot, but the main culprit is not injured at all, what will you think? ”

"What do you think? I must have blown up, and I was not convinced. Luzhu said immediately.

Her eyes rolled, and the ignorant look on her face instantly changed to a sudden realization, "The slave understands." ”

Zheng Lingyi's shirt in her hand was almost done, she knitted buttons of different colors, rested on the shirt to see which color was suitable, she said while comparing them: "How can such a guy who is dedicated to his mother-in-law be reassured by only being relegated to the outer courtyard?" ”
