Chapter Eighty-Eight: Eventful Tonight
"Aunt Tang! Madame, Madame had never had such a request before. This is not only Aunt Wan's suspicions, but also what everyone wants to ask.
"What are you to think you know Madame's mind? The children in this house are all the children of the lady, but they were born through your belly, and they are embarrassed to ask me questions. ”
Aunt Tang saw that the child had been taken away by Qiao Zhu, so she was idle and had a sharp fight with Aunt Wan.
A few words made Aunt Wan embarrassed and angry, but she didn't dare to refute half a word.
Aunt Tang blocked the door, and Qiao Zhu had already gone away, and there was no way to chase it, even if it was a hard break......
Zheng Lingyi looked at Aunt Tang's belly like she was pregnant in August, and only felt that there was little hope.
Everyone was blocked in the room, full of doubts and fears, so they had to go to the inner room to see Aunt Jiang's situation first.
Qiao Luo had secretly fed Aunt Jiang pain-relieving pills, and now she was so tired that she fell asleep.
Qiao Luo was worried that the child would be taken away by Aunt Tang, but she didn't dare to leave Aunt Jiang, but now seeing Zheng Lingyi coming in, she hurriedly said, "Sister, where is your sister?" ”
Before Zheng Lingyi could speak, Aunt Wan, who came in after her, said, "Tell Qiao Zhu to take it to Madame." ”
"It's a daughter, how can Madame care?" Qiao Luo also heard some of the noises outside, and after asking Aunt Wan to affirm it, her heart was even heavier.
When the child was born, Qiaoluo was very happy when she saw that it was a girl, thinking that her life could go on in peace, but unexpectedly, it changed in vain.
Zheng Lingyi lay on the side of the bed and looked at Aunt Wan's face, and then put his hand into the quilt and secretly gave Aunt Jiang a pulse.
Although she had read so many books, she still knew nothing about the number and pulse, and the people in this room had been called by her, and she did not dare to say that she knew everything.
only used the most stupid method to compare Aunt Jiang's pulse with her own, but she was only slightly weaker, thinking that Aunt Jiang's body was probably fine.
When he was most attentive, he was suddenly called "Sister." I couldn't help but look a little surprised.
Zheng Lingyi's eyes widened when he looked back, and Qiao Luo thought that something had happened to Aunt Jiang.
"What can I do now?" Aunt Wan is also anxious for them.
Everyone was helpless, so they couldn't come up with any ideas.
The muffled thunder rolled in, and this time it was not just thunder, the raindrops fell quickly, and the moment they fell on the bricks and tiles, it was like the sound of war drums.
The sound of rain is always strange, no matter how heavy the rain is, it can make people sleep soundly.
Zheng Lingyi was shrouded by the sound of the rain, thinking of the Lu family's unusually lenient indulgence towards Aunt Jiang these days, a very bad premonition rose in his heart, and he always felt that his little sister was afraid that she would not come back.
If she is tough, she really doesn't know what to do.
"If Grandpa Guo can come back today, maybe he can come to visit his aunt, and then he will know Madame's thoughts." Qiao Luo said optimistically, and Aunt Wan echoed again and again.
It's useless to guard here now, and Aunt Wan left.
"It's time, isn't it? It's time for the servants to change shifts and eat. Zheng Lingyi stood by the window, his eyes fell on the night rain, and he didn't know who he was talking to.
"yes." Lu Nong didn't understand what Zheng Lingyi was doing when he suddenly said this, but he just echoed.
Qiaoluo stretched out as he looked tired, and the joints at his shoulder blades made a terrible crunch.
Although she had heard it many times, Lu Nong was still startled and hurriedly rubbed it for her.
"It's okay, I'll go back to the house and put a plaster on it." Qiao Luo said casually.
When it rains, Qiaoluo's body seems to be rusty, and it is common to delay medical medicine.
She naturally glanced at Zheng Lingyi, and when she saw that Zheng Lingyi also nodded, Qiaoluo gave another instruction to Lu Nong, and then went out.
Lu Nong didn't notice anything unusual, but said, "Sister, do you want to use some cakes?" ”
Lu Nong knew that Zheng Lingyi was stubborn, and wanted to coax her back from the window with food.
Zheng Lingyi shook his head, saw a bamboo windmill on the table, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
This windmill was made by Zheng Lingyi and Zheng Changchang, and the whole body was made of bamboo, and the thin pieces of bamboo like paper were cut out with a knife and fixed with bamboo nails to make a bamboo windmill.
The bamboo windmill made two together, secretly sent someone to the county lord's mansion to send one, and kept the rest, just waiting to tease the little sister.
Lu Nong saw that where she looked, he smiled and put away the bamboo windmill so that Zheng Lingyi would not think about things.
The wind and rain tonight are really big, and the sound of wind and rain is all over the ears, which is not good for Zheng Lingyi.
Zheng Lingyi glanced at Zheng Changchang, this child couldn't sleep, but he was still coaxed by Zheng Lingyi to drink a bowl of soothing tea, so he fell asleep now, but he didn't sleep very peacefully, and he always whispered in his dreams.
Lu Nong also looked like he was yawning, Zheng Ling thought about it, and said, "Lu Nong, you can sleep by Chang Chang's bed for a while." I'll see my aunt go. ”
Lu Nong's trapped prisoner's head was wooden, and he took a small futon and rested on the side of the bed, lying on the head of Zheng Changchang's bed.
When Zheng Lingyi closed the door, he glanced at Lu Nong again, and saw that her eyes were empty, and she was about to fall asleep.
Aunt Jiang was still asleep, but her brows were frowning.
Zheng Lingyi took ginger powder and brown sugar from the cabinet, and there was a slight bump between the porcelain jar and the spoon
"Fifteen." Aunt Jiang's weak voice sounded.
Zheng Lingyi turned his head to look at her, smiled slightly, and said, "Auntie, are you awake?" Does it still hurt? ”
Aunt Jiang nodded, and Zheng Lingyi took the painkiller pill under her pillow and fed her another pill.
"Thirsty? Do you want to drink brown sugar water? Zheng Lingyi moved the bowl mixed with ginger powder aside, and when he saw Aunt Jiang's head, she took out a few spoonfuls of brown sugar.
Zheng Lingyi stirred the brown sugar water with a small spoon, and carefully fed Aunt Jiang a few spoonfuls, and Aunt Jiang stretched out her hand to block it, signaling that she would not drink it anymore.
"Fifteen, is my little sister back?" Aunt Jiang's eyebrows and eyes were soft, and she was still immersed in the joy of mother and daughter.
"Nope." Zheng Lingyi didn't hide anything, put the brown sugar water aside, and wiped the corners of Aunt Jiang's lips.
Aunt Jiang was naturally very anxious, and just as she wanted to get up, she was immediately pressed back to the bed by Zheng Lingyi involuntarily.
"Auntie, wait for Qiaoluo to come back, let's listen to the news." Zheng Lingyi's composure also infected Aunt Jiang's emotions to some extent, plus she gave birth to a daughter this time, so there is no need for the Lu family to be unfavorable to her.
Aunt Jiang lay down again, Zheng Lingyi sat sideways in front of her bed, the candlelight depicted her side face hazy, half of her face was bright and half of her face was dark.
Aunt Jiang inexplicably wanted to reach out and touch half of Zheng Lingyi's face hidden in the dark, but she was caught by Zheng Lingyi halfway through her hand.
"Auntie?" Zheng Lingyi thought that Aunt Jiang still insisted on touching her face, so Zheng Lingyi leaned down and sent her face to her palm.
"You're just less than three years older than Chang Chang." Aunt Jiang looked at Zheng Lingyi in a daze and said.
Zheng Lingyi knew very well what she wanted to say, so she quickly smiled and said, "That's also my sister." ”
Aunt Jiang wanted to say more, but Zheng Lingyi covered her mouth, and only heard her say softly: "Auntie, let's sleep again." ”
The sound of rain outside was dripping, the candlelight inside was soft, and Aunt Jiang couldn't sleep although she was sleepy, and she was born when Qiaoluo came back.
Before Qiao Luo could speak, Zheng Lingyi brewed a bowl of ginger soup with hot water in the pot and said, "Drink ginger soup first before talking." Then he took a dry handkerchief from the cupboard and wiped it for Choro.
This ginger soup is not very hot, but it warms up when you drink it.
Qiao Luo wiped her face and said, "Yan'er told me that she saw Danzhu asking people to go to Changxiang Pavilion to clean up the room, which seems to be the one on the edge of the eldest sister's old residence, as if she wanted to leave the child in Anheju." ”
Her tone was anxious and puzzled, Zheng Ling thought for a while, and said, "Isn't it strange that this An and Curie people?" Why did Madame keep her little sister by her side? ”
"No one dares to ask even if it's strange!" Qiao Luo said, as if he suddenly remembered something, he patted Zheng Lingyi's hand anxiously, and said: "Previously, Yan'er overheard Madame and Aunt Hua talking, saying that Sixth Sister Er has always been happy in recent days, and although it was weird, it did have its effect. It can be seen that there are really ghosts and supernatural powers in this world, and so on. The slave and maid speculated, is the lady weak-hearted? Want to raise our sister for peace of mind? ”
"If that's the case, it's a blessing." Aunt Jiang said lightly.
Zheng Lingyi turned his head to look at her, and saw that she hurriedly wiped away the reluctant tears from the corners of her eyes, and her heart was also very distressed, so she followed her words and said: "Yes, if this is the case, it is a blessing for my sister." ”
Aunt Jiang smiled reluctantly for a moment, but twisted her head to the other side to hide her uncontrollable tears.
Qiao Luo was a little worried, and heard Zheng Lingyi ask, "Is Daddy back?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden light outside the window, as bright as day, but fortunately, the bed was half-covered, which did not surprise Aunt Jiang.
"Ahh Qiao Luo was frightened, stroked his chest and said, "This lightning is inevitably too close. ”
She swallowed her mouthful of foam, and said to Zheng Lingyi: "Grandpa Guo hasn't come back yet, Madame seems to be very worried, when Yan'er handed over the shift, she saw the maids and maids in her house coming in and out, the candles were bright, Aunt Hua and Danzhu were waiting beside her, and it seemed that she didn't plan to sleep." Oh yes, Danzhu also instructed the maid who passed the word, saying that he would give a supper to the little maid in the outer courtyard today. ”
"Late night supper?"
Zheng Ling thought for a moment, thinking that Zheng Guogong had not seen the beginning and the end of Shenlong in the past six months, and he had heard that he had not praised the Lu family for the marriage of the ninth sister, and his attitude towards the Lu family did not seem to be so indulgent recently.
Once the spirit rhino was transparent, Zheng Lingyi's eyes lit up, and the corners of his lips faintly brought out some smiles, and said lightly: "I'm afraid something big is going to happen today." ”
"What's the big deal?" Qiao Luo asked, but saw Zheng Lingyi smile incomprehensibly.
"It's not a big thing we can manage, and it's not a big thing we can discuss, but it's a big thing that will be useful to us."
Zheng Lingyi said vaguely, but he didn't mean to explain, so he casually took the half-made fox fur on the side and continued to sew it carefully.
