Chapter 183: New Clothes for the Banquet
Cheng only thought that Zheng Lingyi and Wu were not a big couple. Harmony, the emotion caused by this, how could he think of Zheng Guogong for no reason, after all, this is old, what kind of love and love do you mention, and make people laugh.
Zheng Guogong was not convinced of the old age, when Zheng Lingyi and Zheng Changchang went out to drink tea, they heard that there was an extra aunt in Xiyuan.
used to be serving tea maids by Zheng Guogong's side, and she also had skin to skin, but Zheng Guogong kept her in the outer courtyard.
A few days ago, Lu Shi found out, raised her as an aunt, and moved to Xiyuan, rather than living in the outer courtyard without a name and no point, it is better to move to the bottom of your nose to feel more at ease.
Zheng Lingyi wanted to laugh when she heard it, thinking that if the Lu family found that the maid was crawling on the bed, if Zheng Guogong didn't protect a few points, she would buy the maid if she found an opportunity, because she was not a yellow flower girl, and it was possible to sell it to any dirty person.
Aunt Jiang was Zheng Guogong who insisted on being raised to be an aunt back then, so she escaped. Now, the Lu family is actually rushing to carry his aunt, which is really a moment and a moment.
Zheng Changchang said that the aunt's surname is Niu, although the surname is honest, she is born gentle, and there is still a little shadow of Aunt Jiang in her eyebrows.
Zheng Lingyi didn't say anything after hearing it, she didn't believe that Zheng Guogong was because she missed Aunt Jiang, and in the final analysis, it wasn't because he liked this kind of gentle woman.
That night, Zheng Lingyi saw Aunt Jiang in a dream.
The mother and daughter sat on a swing behind the ashram, which swayed as if it were blown by the wind.
Zheng Lingyi told Aunt Jiang about this as a joke, and there were only the two of them in her dream, so she laughed uncontrollably.
When I woke up, I felt that the pillow was wet, and my heart was empty, as if I was asking people to dig out a piece of life.
I was going to go to Gao's house today, and I also sent a message to Gao Man early.
When he was about to go out, he got a message from Gao Manyi, saying that there was a thief in the Gao family's house, and in order to arrest people, he closed the courtyard door and was investigating.
What was lost was a bag of broken silver from Mrs. Gao, about fifty taels, although the money was not much, but there were thieves in the inner house, how could it be found out, so I won't call Zheng Lingyi today.
Zheng Lingyi has been empty for a day, but in fact, he is not idle, and he has not read the account books of the previous month. There is Qiaoluo who interacts between Zhuangzi and Jingju, and if there is anything wrong with the accounts, it can be immediately investigated.
Lu Nong said that he would no longer pay attention to Huan'er, but he still couldn't bear it in private, and quietly asked Qiao Luo Huan'er about the current situation.
Qiaoluo and Huan'er are not related, so they naturally have to go to the hand training, and ask the two mothers-in-law to take her to do some sprinkling and sweeping work to sharpen her temperament.
As soon as Lu Nong said a few words, Qiao Luo knew her thoughts.
"Don't worry, in a few days, if she is obedient, I will transfer her to the pharmacy to dry the herbs or something, always clean and idle."
As she spoke, she poured the mung beans into the cloth bag, handed the heavy cloth bag to Lu Nong, and said, "This is enough to make a small pillow for Madame." Add some honeysuckle to it, it can protect the eyes and clear the liver. ”
Lu Nong hugged the small cloth bag and said in a low voice: "Probably because my uncle is not there, Mrs. has always slept badly in the past two days, her heart is hot and strong, and her throat is dry." ”
"I'm not here at night, so be careful." Qiao Luo admonished.
"Yes." Lu Nong nodded, and said with some excitement: "Uncle asked people to quickly send a message back, saying that they can arrive tomorrow afternoon." The Mi family set a dinner party, and it should be in time. ”
Qiao Luo thought for a while and said, "If my uncle is a little late on the way, he must be in a hurry when he comes back, you say that the clothes he wears to the banquet are ironed properly, and then put them on the hanger, and then he will not be afraid of hurry." ”
"Madame's garment is occupied. I'm afraid I can't put it down. Lu Nong thought for a moment and said, "There seems to be an elm in the storeroom, I'll look for it." ”
The warehouse was sorted out a few days ago, and the valuable ones were put in one place, and the daily ones were put in another place, and they were divided into two warehouses refreshingly.
The key to storing valuables is in Zheng Lingyi's makeup box, and the other one is hung on the green waist, which is convenient for the maidservants to take some sundries on weekdays.
Midori had a vague impression of the elm stick hanger, and soon found it.
This hanger is larger than the Huanghuali phoenix pattern hanger used today, it is a double-layer double-rod system, the two ends are cocked, and there is no varnish at all, revealing the original simple brown of elm.
Lu Nong thought that this hanger was not very beautiful, so she planned to put it in the side pavilion, she went out and wanted to call Zhu Yu to move, but she saw Fen Niang standing outside the door at some point, and said crampedly: "Sister Lu Nong, do you want to move things?" ”
Fen Niang has been honest recently, even if Qiao Luo came to live in peace, she didn't see her go to ask about Mama Zhu's current situation.
However, Zheng Lingyi cared about them being mother and daughter after all, and they had been separated for a long time, so he asked Qiao Luo to say a word, saying that Mama Zhu has been in good health recently, as long as she is honest, Zheng Lingyi will not be mean to their mother and daughter.
Fen Niang listened to Qiaoluo's words, and responded with a thousand thanks, and it seemed that she was at peace.
At this time, Lu Nong glanced at Fen Niang, looked away and ordered, "Move to the west ear room and set it up." ”
"Yes, yes." Fen Niang said again and again.
When Fen Niang first came to live in peace, Lu Nong sighed a few times.
In the past, when he was in the Guogong Mansion, Lu Nong sometimes accompanied Zheng Lingyi to live together or ask for peace or be scolded, and occasionally saw Fen Niang a few times.
She is a second-class maid, although she can't go into the house to serve all the time, but she can show her face in front of the Lu family when she brings tea and water or something.
Lu Nong stood in the courtyard most of the time and waited, not knowing what kind of situation Zheng Lingyi was facing in the house.
Once Fen Niang and another maid brought tea and pastries in, and when they came out, they talked and laughed, and Fen Niang talked about how embarrassing Zheng Lingyi was when she was abused.
They smiled and walked past Midorino, not feeling anything wrong in the slightest.
Lu Nong remembered this face at that time, but she didn't say anything about it to anyone, nor did she humiliate Fen Niang extraordinarily, but whenever she saw her, she always remembered it.
Therefore, Lu Nong never thought that Fen Niang would change her nature, but she was more honest because of the situation.
Fen Niang wanted to behave in front of others, but she underestimated her strength, she wanted to ask Pei'er for help, but she gave Jin's mother a hand, Fen Niang didn't dare to rob Jin's mother, so she went to find Zhu Yu again.
But Zhu Yu was sent by Luzhu to fetch water again, Jiaojiao got mud all over her body somewhere, and now she is struggling to enter the house, as soon as she lets it in, isn't it a house full of plum blossom prints?
Fen Niang has always been unable to get along with her mother-in-law, and it is even more difficult to speak. The errand she wanted to come to herself, she could only grit her teeth and do it herself.
Fen Niang laboriously dismantled the hanger, moved it one by one, and put it up one by one, making it full of sweat and sour smell, and happened to meet Lu Nong into the house.
Lu Nong didn't mean to humiliate Fen Niang, but when he smelled the smell, he subconsciously covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
Fen Niang's face flushed, but she didn't dare to say anything.
"It's done, you go out." Lu Nong glanced at Fen Niang's back, and then looked at the clothes hanger that had been placed properly.
Seeing her go out, Lu Nong muttered a little incomprehensibly: "Even if Zhu Yu sweats, he doesn't have such a big smell." ”
If she wanted to humiliate Fen Niang, she would say it to her face, but Lu Nong didn't, she just felt strange.
But the world is such a coincidence, Fen Niang was standing under the window at this time, picking up one of her earrings that was suddenly broken, and taking in the words of Lu Nong.
Fen Niang's eyes widened suddenly, and her lips tightened, trying to stop herself from crying.
She has always known what is wrong with her, and she used to serve in Anheju with Mama Zhu, who was easy to enter and exit, and could bring her soaphorn perfume every month.
She scrubbed herself clean, and poured incense powder on her armpits and neck, a secret that no one knew.
But how can there be such a good thing now, this secret can't be hidden in the summer.
A resentment rose in Fen Niang's heart, and she trotted away with hatred.
Lu Nong heard a slight noise, pushed the window to look, but there was no one around, thinking that he was suspicious, so he didn't think much about it.
Although the two have different hearts, how similar this scene is, Lu Nong herself doesn't know that her unintentional words can be regarded as revenge.
The clothes that Wu Zhi had to wear to the banquet were newly made, cloth bought from the Lu family.
Zheng Lingyi took care of the Lu family's business, except for the Zhonggong's share, and the extra clothes and fabrics purchased in the quiet house were all provided by the Lu family.
Lu Xian also deliberately bought a batch of good clothes, in addition to letting Zheng Lingyi choose a few horses, but by mistake, he started the business of the rich and noble again.
Since the embroidery girl in the outer courtyard knew that although Zheng Lingyi was not easy to provoke, she was generous, the clothes of Jingju have become a hot commodity.
Once the embroidery girl has made the clothes, she will be busy sending them, even if it is just a sewing job, Zheng Lingyi will also reward a plate of pastries.
The vacant house and shop space that the couple had on hand were rented out, and they made a lot of money every month and accumulated some money.
Zheng Lingyi showed off his money bag in front of the embroidery girl, and even the attitude of the other minions was a lot more eager.
It's just a small profit, but it saves a lot of trouble, but a small trouble is saved, but there is a big one. Trouble awaits.
Listening to a few mothers-in-law in the courtyard, the mothers-in-law of Lingge are always spying between words, wanting to know how many catties and taels Zheng Lingyi's money bag has.
The mothers-in-law were unscrupulous, but they really didn't understand the truth, so they were asked for a long time and didn't reveal anything.
When I came back and thought about it, I had a little bit of a taste, and hurriedly went to Zheng Lingyi to report it.
Since Goldman was also pregnant, Qiao Shi used the excuse of asking her to take care of her body and let Wan Yuanyuan take care of her affairs.
What is the difference between Wan Yuanyuan's management and Qiao's own management? Anyone can see it.
Zheng Lingyi went directly to General Wu and said that Wan Yuanyuan was not allowed to interfere in the matter of Jingju.
Qiao's was surprisingly cheerful this time, and even the power to take care of Wu Cong and Wu Yan's courtyard was pushed to Zheng Lingyi, and he smiled and asked Zheng Lingyi to take good care of his sister.
There is no one in Wu Cong Courtyard, it is a virtual existence, but in this Wu Yan Courtyard, it is really annoying.
Wu Yan was a little smarter, and Wu Yan didn't dare to make more trouble when he was there, as soon as Wu Yan was not there these days, she came to live quietly every day to annoy Zheng Lingyi.
I was all down the air a few days ago, and today I was caught by her.
