Chapter 50: The Chrysanthemum Bush
"That means that the Duchess of Guo may not know all about the Lu family's sisters, otherwise she wouldn't let people spy on them." Wu Rouxiang said self-righteously, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.
Lu Mobai and Wen Xiangzhi enjoyed the flowers and laughed all the way, she was dressed in white, and a silk satin embroidered with purple carrot floated down her temples, revealing a beautiful side face when she turned her head.
Although she is not as beautiful as the princess Song, she is still good enough.
Wu Rouxiang has always been proud of her status as a concubine, but in this realm of concubines, her identity as a concubine is not so conspicuous.
Now, what others value is appearance and bearing.
With a background like the Song family, it is easy to marry a high-ranking family.
Wu Rouxiang couldn't help but feel a little sad, and stepped on the dead leaves, making a little cracking sound.
Lu Mobai and Wen Xianglan didn't care, only Zheng Lingyi seemed to glance at this side from afar, but he reached out to catch a fallen leaf and played with the petiole in his hand.
Wu Rouxiang didn't notice that she had missed a trace, and suddenly saw the three of them leave the place where the flowers bloomed and walked along the path to the west.
Wu Rouxiang followed, and saw that the three of them were led to an elegant hut by a maid from Juyuan, and then another maid brought a bucket and silk paper into the room, and after a while, she left with these things.
Wu Rouxiang covered her nose with a handkerchief, and said in disgust: "It doesn't matter who she is, she doesn't have to eat, drink, and lazar, and pretend not to eat the fireworks in the world." ”
Cuilong happened to be a little anxious at the moment, and when she heard Wu Rouxiang say this, she didn't dare to say it.
It's just that this matter is urgent, and seeing that she looks unbearable, Wu Rouxiang also guessed a few points, and her heart moved, so she said: "Look at you like this, just follow me." ”
Wu Rouxiang was a guest after all, and when she found the maidservant just now, she said a few words, and took Cuilong to another side pavilion.
The master is the master, and the servant girl is the servant, and the identity is different.
Wu Rouxiang was waiting for Cuilong on the surface, but in fact she was always walking back and forth along the corridor, hoping to hear a few broken words in the room, if there was a handle in her hands, it would be the best.
Lu Mobai was waiting for Wen Xianglan to change her shirt in the house at this time, Wen Xianglan had been a little chilly since she gave birth to her daughter.
Today, Juyuan is windy, and she can't stand it anymore, so she takes advantage of this time to change her coat to a thicker one.
Wu Rouxiang didn't hear any movement, suspicious that the two changed rooms, walked around the hut, and just around the corner, suddenly saw Danzhu beside the Lu family walking all the way to the hut along the stone path.
For some reason, Wu Rouxiang subconsciously hid and hid her figure.
Zheng Lingyi hadn't entered the house since Fang Cai, and had been watching Wu Rouxiang's actions in the dark.
When Danzhu came to look for her, Zheng Lingyi came out of the corner, holding a handful of wild chrysanthemums with stamens as yellow as the beak of a chick, and the broken roots were still congealed with juice, which was obviously just broken.
"When is it, my sister still has the heart to pick these miscellaneous flowers and weeds." Dan Zhu said unhappily.
Zheng Lingyi lowered her eyes along her gaze, looked at the wild chrysanthemum in her hand, and explained softly: "Sister Danzhu doesn't know, Sister Lu likes this kind of wild fun." ”
Danzhu knew that these young ladies of the family had always liked to toss something unusual to highlight their differences.
She looked at the bouquet of wild chrysanthemums and said meaningfully: "Sister, you've been getting more and more clever lately. ”
Zheng Lingyi said with difficulty: "Sister Danzhu, in terms of it, I am not as good as you, I just want to earn a living." ”
This statement is true, Danzhu didn't answer, but said, "Where is Sister Lu now?" ”
Zheng Lingyi pointed behind him and led Danzhu away from the room where Lu Mobai was, and at the same time led Wu Rouxiang to the hiding place.
"Sister, is Mrs. Sun still with Sister Lu?" Danzhu's voice vaguely reached Wu Rouxiang's ears.
This Mrs. Sun is Wen Xianglan, she married Dr. Sun Bo last year, and now everyone calls her Mrs. Sun.
"Yes." Zheng Lingyi's timid voice was easy for Wu Rouxiang to hear.
"Wait a minute, I'll let Mrs. Sun take her away, isn't Sister Lu going to see Moju? Just let her go. When the time comes, if you see your fifth brother, you must act at the opportunity and delay it for a while. When the lady arrives with the other ladies, don't let anyone bump into you. ”
Dan Zhu gave a careful command, and a word got into Wu Rouxiang's ears, she grabbed the handkerchief tightly, and almost didn't bite a mouthful of silver teeth.
I am close at hand, but I don't want to, I will do everything possible to calculate a sister of the Lu family!
Cuilong cleaned her hands, looking for Wu Rouxiang everywhere, at first glance when she saw her, she subconsciously wanted to call her, and when she saw her leaning over as if she was listening to something, she quickly covered her mouth and walked over quietly.
Wu Rouxiang heard the footsteps of Danzhu leaving, turned around and bumped into Cuilong, and couldn't help but exclaim.
Zheng Lingyi obviously heard it, but he just hooked the corners of his mouth and walked into the room with the crisp and tender wild chrysanthemum.
Cuilong is the maid next to Qiao's side, Wu Rouxiang will not beat and scold at will, but just lowered her voice and reprimanded: "Walking silently, you are a dead man!" ”
Cuilong was very aggrieved, but she couldn't refute it, she just said, "Sister, what are you listening to?" ”
Wu Rouxiang was reminded by Cuilong's words, and hurriedly said, "Let's go quickly!" ”
Cuilong didn't know where Wu Rouxiang was going, so she only dragged her to the depths of the chrysanthemum garden.
After the two of them left, after a while, Zheng Lingyi walked out with Lu Mobai.
Wen Xianglan just drank a cup of hot tea in the room, and the coolness on her body faded a little, but her head was dizzy, as if she was drunk.
The maidservant hurriedly ordered to prepare a sedan chair and take Wen Xianglan back to rest.
Lu Mobai saw that Wen Xianglan was helped out by her own maidservant, and she was relieved, so she took Zheng Lingyi out to continue to enjoy the flowers.
Mo Ju is in the depths of the chrysanthemum garden, and there are fewer and fewer people walking, but it is not completely absent.
Across a half-zhang wide stream, Lu Mobai also saw Chen Rao standing on the opposite bank, and smiled at Zheng Lingyi.
Lu Mobai knew Chen Rao, but he never really said a few words to her.
Although Zheng Yanru has the reputation of a talented woman and is also good friends with Lu Mobai, she recited half a sentence of poetry on a whim, and Zheng Yanru always praised a few words, never echoing one or two.
Over time, although Lu Mobai did not say anything, he also had doubts in his heart.
But Chen Rao's talent, Lu Mobai has really felt it, so he admires him very much.
Seeing that she was familiar with Zheng Lingyi, Lu Mobai was a little surprised, and said to Zheng Lingyi: "Do you know Sister Chen?" ”
"It's just a one-sided relationship." Zheng Lingyi said lightly, there was something on his mind hovering in his eyes.
Her words fell on Lu Mobai's ears, and she felt that the little maid in front of her, who was always talking in a low voice, seemed to be a little more mysterious.
Lu Mobai didn't know where Mo Ju was, and he only knew after asking the maid along the way.
Zheng Lingyi's steps became slower and slower, and Lu Mobai noticed it and asked, "What's wrong?" But what's uncomfortable? ”
Zheng Lingyi looked around, raised his eyes and said to Lu Mobai: "Sister Lu, let's wait for a while, and then go to the Moju Cong." ”
At the moment, the sun is in full bloom, and it is just a bright state.
Lu Mobai was puzzled: "What's wrong?" The color of the black chrysanthemum is black in the blood, and it has to be seen under the bright sun. ”
Zheng Lingyi pretended that a small pebble fell into the sole of his shoe, and half-squatted down to dig it out with his fingers.
Lu Mobai asked her to tug lightly and squatted down.
After a while, two people, one big and one young, stood up, and Lu Mobai's body shook slightly, as if he couldn't stand steadily because of a long squat.
A woman's name is the most important thing, so how can a man not be afraid?
Lu Mobai had palpitations in her heart, and stumbled and said, "Good girl, you tell me this, I don't know how to thank you." But how can you explain to your mother-in-law? ”
"Sister Lu, can you still believe me?" Zheng Lingyi already had a plan in his heart, and said to Lu Mobai.
Zheng Lingyi was willing to tell Lu Mobai about this, which shows that she is pure-minded and unwilling to be a sharp blade in the hands of the wicked.
Lu Mobai said earnestly: "Call me Mobai." I believe in you. ”
"Sister Mobai, look, there is a fairy lingzhi there, let's go and take a look first, and then it's not too late to go around to see Moju." Zheng Lingyi pointed to a cluster of lilac chrysanthemums not far away, and said.
The petals of this fairy reishi are slender, the tips are yellow, and the ends are dark purple, and the form is extremely beautiful.
It's just very delicate, a small bush in this chrysanthemum garden, I don't know how much effort it takes.
And this kind of chrysanthemum is very strange, very dislike the heat on the human body, so keep it in this secluded place, just wait for the people who love flowers to come and see it, and will never welcome it to everyone's eyes for everyone to enjoy.
"Sister Lingyi, how do you know so much about flowers?" Lu Mobai was puzzled.
Although she knew about the green lychee, she didn't know about this fairy lingzhi.
Zheng Lingyi not only knew that this flower was called fairy lingzhi, but also knew that this flower could be used in medicine to treat women's postpartum impurity of blood, which was the best.
But as long as Zheng Lingyi has read the medical books, she can memorize them like a stream.
There is a special book on the medical technique that talks about chrysanthemums, and the use of fairy lingzhi as medicine, which is too expensive, and the author of the book wrote a stroke casually.
"Look at it in the book." Zheng Lingyi said to Lu Mobai, "Sister Mobai, if someone else asks, can you say that you want to come to see the fairy lingzhi?" ”
Lu Mobai couldn't see through Zheng Lingyi more and more, and was muttering in her heart, but she saw her smiling at herself, her smile was clear and clean.
Lu Mobai couldn't help but say in his heart: "That's it, the Lu family's character is so unbearable, living under her hands, you have to have some scheming, as long as your heart is still good." ’
Lu Mobai nodded and said, "I know, I won't make it difficult for you." ”
The two of them slowly admired the fairy lingzhi for a while, and then went in the direction of the ink chrysanthemum.
Before leaving, Zheng Lingyi stretched out his hand towards the fairy lingzhi, simply tore off a handful, crumpled it casually, and stuffed it into the purse around his waist.
They walked around from behind, and through a shadow wall, they heard the woman's delicate or crisp voice, it should be Lu Shi who came with the other ladies.
Zheng Lingyi took Lu Mobai's hand and said solemnly: "Sister Mobai, believe me!" ”
Although she wanted to help Lu Mobai, she couldn't ruin her own life.
Lu Mobai was trotted up by Zheng Lingyi, leaving everyone's laughter behind, and she was inevitably a little nervous.
Pieces of black-red ink chrysanthemum appeared in front of Lu Mobai's eyes, although the ink chrysanthemum was a black chrysanthemum, but the petals were not thick black like ink, but mixed with blood.
Lu Mobai had also seen ink chrysanthemums elsewhere before, but somehow, the color of the ink chrysanthemums here was not luxurious black and red, but like stale internal organs, showing a disgusting dark blood color.
Lu Mobai's brother has a little leopard, and he eats pig and cow offal every day, and when she sees it once, she feels disgusted.
She stroked her chest and retched twice, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that behind a sharp horn on the edge of the rockery, there was a man and a woman next to a clump of black chrysanthemums.
The woman sat on a big rock, lowered her eyes and smiled, clearly Wu Rouxiang. The man half-crouched beside her, not knowing what he was doing.
