The maid of Xiyuan was punished for kneeling for an afternoon, and Qiaomo and Qiaoran of Dongyuan walked around them, for fear of being contaminated with bad luck, and even brought it with it called laurel punishment.

Their luck was bad, but it wasn't too bad. The sun had shifted a little, and they were not allowed to bask in the bitter sun.

Yuegui left a second-class maid who lived in peace and watched them, and only knelt for two hours before she was allowed to get up.

Qiao Luo was desperate in her heart, she knelt numbly, and when she was finally helped up by Lu Nong, her knees were unconscious, if it weren't for Zi Xin and Lu Nong to follow and help, I was afraid that she would be planted on the ground.

Although they are all maids in Xiyuan, they don't look up on weekdays.

But Qiaoxiu said that everyone suffered together, and the big guy was a little angry in his heart, and no one talked to Qiaoxiu, so he limped back to Xiyuan with each other.

Aunt Jiang waited for them for a long time and didn't return, but she had already quietly gone to see what was going on, and she knew what was going on.

So I prepared ointment to reduce swelling and stasis early, and when they came back, they pulled up their trouser legs and painted the two red and swollen knees shiny.

The room was filled with the cool smell of mint chips, and Qiao Luo felt less uncomfortable, she had just sat on the group bench for a moment, and then got up to go out.

When I got up, I felt a painful feeling of soreness in my knees, like soaking my knee bones in old vinegar overnight and then stuffing them back into my knees.

Zheng Lingyi held her down and said, "If you go out at this hour, you won't be able to come back before the curfew." ”

Qiao Luo wanted to say more, and listened to Zheng Lingyi say earnestly: "If others find out, then a big disaster is coming." ”

"What's that going on?" Qiao Luo felt that he had failed to do his errand, and his face was full of self-blame.

Zheng Lingyi stroked her shoulder and said calmly: "Let's take a step and see a step." Tomorrow you will go out again in search of Jataman. If you can get any good ideas, let Gan Song think of a son to tell me. But if he can't act in secrecy, and he will be exposed in front of his wife, I still ask him not to meddle in this matter, and I will think of it myself. ”

Qiao Luo nodded, so far, it can only be like this.

Zheng Lingyi was left behind by the Lu family after inviting An on the second day, waiting to go to Dongyangpo with Zheng Yanxian, and the jealousy of others was particularly ironic at this moment.

Zheng Yanru also felt a little strange, glanced at Zheng Lingyi, who was sitting obediently on the side, and glanced at Zheng Yanxian, who was tired from getting up early, and said, "Mother, don't you ask me to go with me?" ”

Lu Shi glanced at her, his expression a little complicated.

Zheng Yanxian seemed to think her words were funny, and said, "Sister, what are you going to do?" After staying with my mother for less than a while, I was going to quarrel again. ”

Listening to Zheng Yanxian's words to rush customers, Zheng Ling thought that she must also know what she was going to do on this trip.

Zheng Yanru was gagged, it was hard to say anything, she glanced at Zheng Lingyi with a blank look, and left without saying a word.

"Xian'er, you are not allowed to talk to your sister like this, you are sisters."

The Lu family didn't want to see Zheng Yanru and Zheng Lingyi close, nor did he want to see that Zheng Yanxian and Zheng Yanru had a bad relationship.

Zheng Yanxian was dissatisfied: "Mother, how can you blame me? It's the third sister herself who is getting more and more eccentric. My eldest sister and I have always talked and laughed, and a few days ago she brought her brother-in-law to Lufu as a guest. ”

What she said is also a little reasonable, in terms of temperament and heart, Zheng Yanru always seems out of place with them.

Lu Shi glanced at Zheng Lingyi and asked curiously, "What did you talk about when you were with your third sister?" ”

Zheng Lingyi was stunned for a while, and said stupidly: "I can talk about food, and I will also talk about my sister's friends." ”

Lu Shi was dissatisfied with this answer, and was about to reprimand, when he saw Aunt Hua walking in from behind, leaning into Lu's ear and saying, "Madam, everything is ready, we should go." ”

Today, Lu Nong is going to go with Zheng Lingyi, their master and servant are sitting alone in the carriage, and after feeling the carriage start to move, Lu Nong whispered: "Sister, why is this carriage not the carriage we use on weekdays." ”

Just now they came out of the side door, and the green thick already felt strange, and saw that the carriage was the simple appearance of ordinary people, with brown frames and blue cloths, which could be seen everywhere.

"The Fox Immortal Temple on Dongyang Slope is probably a strange one, if others recognize it, it will hinder the reputation of the Guogong Mansion."

Zheng Lingyi opened a small bag handed to her by Danzhu, only to see that there was a veil for covering her face, and she was even more sure that this fox immortal temple was probably not as simple as looking at it on her face, otherwise why would the Lu clan act so secretively?

She lifted the curtain with her fingertips, and vaguely saw that there was a blessing bag swaying in the corner of the carriage in front of Lu, and for some reason, her heart suddenly beat like a drum, making her inexplicably frightened.

Dongyangpo is not in the city, but the Guogong Mansion is close, and the spire of Dongyangpi can be seen in some high places in the mansion, but it is only for the eyes, Zheng Lingyi has never been there.

It is a small hillside in front of the West Mountain, many places on the West Mountain are the territory of the family, and most of the rest of the places are steep and difficult to climb, so in the early years, the people gather firewood to go to the Dongyang slope.

However, there were many monks and few porridges, and a mountain fire destroyed all the trees, so the people turned to the hillside outside the eastern city to look for firewood.

Now this fox fairy temple is gradually getting bigger, and there are some arrogant rules, and people who are not pilgrims are not allowed to go up the mountain.

"I heard that there is an auspicious atmosphere brought by flying stars on the Dongyang slope, and now the vegetation is dense, far better than before."

Zheng Lingyi didn't believe this, but just mentioned it casually, but Lu Nong also looked unbelieving, and said disdainfully: "I burned all the grass and trees all over the mountain, where can I find a better fertilizer than this?" ”

After the farmers finish picking up the ears of wheat in autumn, they will always put a handful of fire to burn the remaining straw, and the grass ash is the best nourishment for fertilizing the fields.

Although Zheng Lingyi was detained in the inner house, when he occasionally went out, he also smelled the smell of straw burning.

"I think the people know that the flying star auspicious rui is a nonsense, and the fox fairy is also a nonsense when he comes to Dongyangpo to practice?"

Zheng Lingyi was talking, and suddenly Lu Nong lightly covered her mouth with her hand, she was still disdainful just now, but her face was full of solemnity at this time, "Sister, you can't talk nonsense, if you offend the fox fairy, it will not be good if you cause a curse." ”

Zheng Lingyi really couldn't cry or laugh, Lu Nong didn't believe in Flying Star Xiangrui, but he believed that there were fox fairies in the world.

Lu Nong knew that Zheng Lingyi didn't believe it, so he said seriously: "Sister, don't laugh, the fox fairy's magical powers, the slave maid has heard of it before." Actually, I wanted to tell you yesterday, but I was afraid that my aunt would worry, so I didn't say it. ”

Zheng Lingyi was infected by her serious look, and also restrained his smile, and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Lu Nong's face showed hesitation, if it weren't for Zheng Lingyi being involved in this matter today, Lu Nong would never mention this past incident again.

At that time, she had not sold her teeth to anyone, and she was immersed in needlework all day long, hoping to earn more money to supplement the family.

Lu Nong's family is poor, and the most precious thing is an old hen that has been raised for several years, and she lays eggs diligently, at least one a day, and most of them are sold to the family at the entrance of the alley.

Lang Jun on the other side of the door is a merchant who does business, he is not at home for half a year, his wife is called Jing Niang, only at home with two maids, lonely all year round.

I heard that she has a daughter, but she just follows her mother-in-law.

Every time Lu Nong goes to deliver eggs, she always has to be surrounded by her and gossip for a long time. Later, I gradually got acquainted, and I realized that Lang Jun of this family did not leave home because of business, but because Jing Niang was actually just one of his outer rooms.

Lang Jun's head lady gave birth to a boy, and he was also restrained, and gradually disliked coming here.

One day, Lu Nong went to deliver eggs again, but was called by Jing Niang and asked her if she wanted to make a few more silver dollars.

Although Lu Nong wanted to make money, he was also cautious, so he asked a few more questions.

At that time, it was already dark, but Jing Niang was dressed in plain clothes, sitting by the window to comb her makeup, turned to Lu Nong and smiled, her lips were red and charming, and said, "Just a drop of blood from your fingertips." ”

When Lu Nong said this, Zheng Lingyi was shocked and said, "She wants to use your blood to sacrifice the fox immortal?" ”

Lu Nong nodded, and Zheng Lingyi couldn't help but ask, "Did you agree?" ”

Lu Nong looked at Zheng Lingyi deeply, and nodded slowly.

She sighed again and said, "The slaves and maids were barely able to make ends meet at that time, and there were no taboos. He smeared the blood on a white silk cloth and left it to her. Later, a few days later, I heard that Lang Jun's lady died of a sudden illness, although Jing Niang could not be raised as a wife, but because of the birth of an heir, she was carried into the house and became a concubine. ”

"So coincidentally?" Zheng Lingyi muttered.

"My sister said it was a coincidence, but it can be seen that I still don't believe it." Lu Nong lowered his eyes slightly, but he still couldn't hide the remorse in his eyes.

"The death of the head lady of Lang Jun, if it is really in response to Jing Niang's request, wouldn't the slave maid also have three points of sin? The slave and maid only gave a drop of blood, but the lady asked the sister to give a wine cup, thinking that she wanted more! ”

"Don't think nonsense, ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Zheng Lingyi slapped Lu Nong's knee twice, causing her to scream in pain, Zheng Lingyi forgot for a moment that her knee was swollen yesterday, how could it dissipate so quickly.

Midorino shook her head to show that she was fine.

For some reason, Zheng Lingyi always thought about Lu Nong's words.

"There is money for the outer room, but there are rules that prevent the outer room from entering the door."

She frowned and pondered, and said, "I always think that Lang Jun is not an ordinary rich man, he should be an official." ”

Lu Nong thought about Zheng Lingyi's words, and said uncertainly: "Maybe." But Jing Niang never told me this. If it weren't for the fact that she drank a few glasses of thin wine, I probably wouldn't know that she was an outsider. ”

Lu Nong's past is gone, and the carriage has also driven out of the West City Gate.

She was a little nervous inexplicably, and saw Zheng Lingyi take out two red dates from her purse, and said, "The last two, let's share one with you." ”

This jujube is very large, but the taste is not good enough, and there is always some astringency in the mouth after eating.

Lu Nong was originally strange, how could An Heju be so generously distributed.

Lu Nong said in his heart, "No wonder my aunt almost vomited last time." ’

Aunt Jiang stroked her chest and retched suddenly appeared in Lu Nong's mind, she was stunned suddenly, her teeth accidentally bit the soft flesh on the tip of her tongue, and her mouth was suddenly filled with a rusty smell.
