Chapter 287: Nail in the coffin
The child's nursing mother was recommended by the Su family, who was the wife of a long-term worker in the cloth shop, and the child in the family was only two months old, and had been living in the Wu house for some time. The tide is rising, just waiting for it to come in handy today.
Wan Yuanyuan and Wu Yan came again later, and Gao Man probably didn't think it was a bit unreasonable not to come to visit, so he also came along. Zheng Lingyi was also very entertained, and said politely for a while, and An An sent the person away.
Sister Mei hadn't seen Zheng Lingyi for a long time, she seemed a little cramped, and she finally got acquainted again, but she was leaving.
And today's arrival of General Wu made her so surprised that she was almost embarrassed.
Zheng Lingyi originally thought that no matter what General Wu said, he would save face and wait for her to take the child to see him after she was out of confinement. Unexpectedly, after about ten days, General Wu came with Wan Yuanyuan and Wu Yan.
That day coincided with Wu Punishment Xiumu, who had just bought Zheng Lingyi a lotus leaf honey roast chicken from the street, and was going to bring it back for her to eat.
Mother Jin's cooking has been too light recently, and Zheng Lingyi has eaten for a few days, and even her appetite has been lost. But Jin's mother is very stubborn about her own truth, saying that greasy meat is not conducive to physical recovery, and she refuses to cook those past meat dishes.
Wu Zhi asked Gansong and said that it was okay to eat some in moderation, and she also secretly came out today and bought Zheng Lingyi her most gluttonous and gluttonous food.
At the door, the Father and the Son met.
Wan Yuanyuan just lifted the car and saw the father and son standing face to face, and subconsciously wanted to hide inside, Wu Yan was originally close behind, but she retreated like this, and then fell back into the carriage, she covered the back of her head in confusion and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" ”
The father and son followed the sound again, Wan Yuanyuan had no choice but to smile dryly, turned to Wu Yan and said, "It's nothing, come, I'll help you." ”
The roast chicken in Wu Zhi's hand was dripping with oil, making him greasy and not easy to salute or anything.
Old General Wu frowned at him and said, "Go out to buy these foods, don't you have them at home?" "She's just hungry for this." Wu punished.
Moving out of Zheng Lingyi, General Wu didn't say anything, took the lead and strode in, and said in a loud voice: "Bring my grandson to me to see." ”
Wu Zhi had no choice but to follow in, the two men took big steps, and threw Wan Yuanyuan and Wu Yan out for a long time, and when the old general Wu was born, the two of them arrived at the main house.
General Wu accepted this nickname very quickly, it seems that men always don't stick to this, Wan Yuanyuan wanted to laugh when he heard this name, he was afraid that Wu Yuan would be unhappy, and hurriedly said: "I'll go into the house and take a look at my brother and sister." ”
After all, it was inconvenient for General Wu to see Zheng Lingyi, so he held the child and didn't let go, nodding to Wan Yuanyuan.
When Wan Yuanyuan came in, Zheng Lingyi was eating chicken, she was afraid that Jin's mother would be verbose, so she didn't dare to take it to the kitchen and chop it into small pieces.
Wan Yuanyuan giggled for a while, laughing so much that Zheng Lingyi's face turned red, and said: "Ah, on weekdays, I look at people who look like immortals, eat pastries, drink tea, it's the first time I've seen you eat like this." ”
"Spare me, sister-in-law, I'm also very greedy." Zheng Lingyi raised his face as he spoke, letting Lu Nong wipe the oil on his mouth, like a child.
In the past few days, there have been no bad people dangling in front of Zheng Lingyi, and the child is taken care of by a large group of nurses and maids, Zheng Lingyi's spirit has recovered most of it, but as soon as she saw Wu Yan, she remembered Zheng Shuangshuang's matter, and the joy in her heart faded a little.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you go to the two of them for me to watch." Zheng Lingyi sat on the bed and couldn't get up, and said with some concern.
Wan Yuanyuan took a sip of tea, glanced at Wu Yan jokingly, and said, "I don't dare, you call my sister to go." ”
Wu Yan hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't go, don't go, it's scary." ”
One by one, it was like seeing a ghost cave, which made Zheng Lingyi very embarrassed, so he had to say to Lu Nong: "Then you go and watch it." ”
Lu Nong took Qiu Shuang and added some snacks to General Wu, Wu Punishment sat with General Wu, but the two didn't say anything, Lu Nong put down the snacks, waited on the side, and let Qiu Shuang go out first.
General Wu is obviously not here to eat, holding the sauce and not letting go, such a little old child, just sleeping every day, can't give a smile, can't be funny, General Wu just can't put his hands away, how to look at how to like it.
"It's exactly the same as when you were a child, it's good that it's a boy, if the girl isn't as white as her mother, I guess you'll be blamed if you can't get married." General Wu finally hugged enough, but he didn't see enough, so he put the child in the cradle and continued to lean over and stare at it.
"If you can't get married, you won't marry, and you will support her for the rest of your life." Wu said bluntly.
"Hmph." Old General Wu glanced at him, looked down at the child again, and said: "It's easy to say, there is no girl at the moment, even if you have a daughter, the girl is older, and it will become an enemy if you stay and stay, and you can't help whether you marry or not." ”
Wu Zhi stopped talking, lest he quarrel without speculation, and making Zheng Lingyi anxious was the last thing he wanted.
General Wu was really in a good mood, and he looked up at Wu Xian again, and said, "You are not dark now, why did you look like a briquette when you were a child, and this kid is too, I don't know if you will be better when you grow up." ”
Lu Nong saw that Wu Zhi was still too lazy to speak, for fear that the atmosphere would be too stiff, so he smiled and said: "No matter who you look like, the little young master will always be handsome when he grows up." ”
Old General Wu also laughed, looking at Jiang Sheng, it was like seeing Wu Zhi when he was a child, and gradually, he fell into memories.
Zheng Lingyi said a few words of gossip with Wan Yuanyuan and Wu Yan, and asked Wu Yan about her marriage, although the woman needs to be shy and reserved, but Wu Yan's age is not young, but it is also very attentive to the Lu family, and this family business should be nine out of ten.
"Did you tell me the news about my sister that day?" Zheng Lingyi hesitated, but asked again.
Wu Yan nodded for a while, and said, "After I went home, I thought about it again, and I told my sister-in-law everything I heard." ”
Zheng Lingyi didn't force her anymore, Wan Yuanyuan asked cautiously: "Brother and sister, won't your mother's family come to see you?" ”
Zheng Lingyi sighed, smiled tiredly, and said, "Needless to say, Chang Chang can't wait to come every day." It's just a person in the house, the tenth sister-in-law handed over the post, saying that she would come the day after tomorrow, and since she came, she either didn't know anything about Shuangshuang, or the matter was already ironclad and could not be changed. ”
Zheng Lingyi has already thought so thoroughly, no wonder he is not in a hurry, because it is useless to be anxious.
Several women were worried, for fear that the old general Wu would quarrel with Wu Zhiyi, but thanks to this snooze little bit, the Wu family was sent back safely and securely.
Before getting into the car, General Wu seemed to have something to say, and Wu Xuan seemed to know what he wanted to say, so he avoided his gaze.
The old general Wu left in silence, and almost as soon as he got into the carriage, Wu Zhi turned around and went in, and he saw through the gap in the curtain of the carriage that was raised by the wind, but he was silent, silent.
sent away the Wu family, and as Zheng Lingyi said, ushered in the Miao family again.
Miao did receive the news from Brother and Sister Yuezhi in twists and turns, and it was precisely because of this that she came to see Zheng Lingyi with a little embarrassment.
Zheng Lingyi got straight to the point, only gave two words of greeting, Miao looked at the child, and when he was about to say a few pleasing words, Zheng Lingyi spoke, "Shuangshuang wants to enter the palace?" True or fake? ”
Miao barely dared to look up, only moving his gaze from the cradle to his knees.
Seeing that Miao was so cramped and uneasy, Zheng Lingyi already knew the answer in his heart.
"Sister, how did you find out? Actually, I, I only heard some rumors, but there was no evidence, since the last time, as soon as I entered the door of Anheju, I was cold-eyed, and your tenth brother didn't call me to go. ”
"Did she send her two sisters into the palace through the relationship of Empress Dowager de Jong?" Zheng Lingyi asked again, but only saw Miao's incomprehensible face.
"What? Eh, I don't know, yes, your tenth brother mentioned it slightly, it seems to be the relationship between the Queen Mother, is it the Queen Mother De Jong? ”
Zheng Lingyi stroked his forehead speechlessly, and said in his heart: "As the Empress Dowager de Jong, how can the two sisters still have good fruits to eat, a queen mother in the twilight of the West Mountain, what are you fighting for?" Her biological mother, the Empress Dowager Jia'an, was almost unable to hold on to power, and she still wanted to bury a stake beside the emperor. ’
Miao looked at Zheng Lingyi's gloomy face worriedly, and said hesitantly: "Sister, you should be relaxed now, but don't, don't hurt your spirit." ”
Zheng Lingyi raised his head, pulled the corners of his mouth contemptuously, and said: "Naturally, it won't hurt the spirit, in this matter, no matter how hard I plan, I'm afraid it will be difficult to change the facts, my father should agree with this matter, right?" ”
Miao smiled and said: "Dad, alas, isn't this emperor also a young man?" It's not an old man again, our two sisters enter the palace, maybe they can have a future better than us? ”
This was not only to persuade Zheng Lingyi, in fact, Miao himself thought so in his heart, but as soon as he saw Zheng Lingyi's calm and cold gaze, Miao felt inexplicably ashamed.
"What are you doing these days? Has my sister-in-law ever seen her? Zheng Lingyi retracted his gaze and said lightly.
"It seems that I invited an old grandmother, teaching her the rules, rushing to enter the palace after the emperor's wedding, she was also too busy to keep her feet on the ground, I haven't seen her with my own eyes, but when I passed by, I heard Mama's reprimand, no, no, it's the sound of teaching."
"Grandma is coming to the palace? But hasn't the will not yet be made? "If there is a will, why should Zheng Lingyi get a little news from the Miao family.
Miao laughed dryly twice and said, "Nine times out of ten." ”
Zheng Lingyi thought that she was probably sent by the relationship of the Empress Dowager de Jong, but in fact, she did guess correctly.
