Chapter 221: Teng's Clan
Gao Man also looked at the tear that fell on the back of his hand in a daze, and raised his eyes to look at Zheng Lingyi again.
Zheng Lingyi didn't have any emotion in her eyes, she just looked at Gao Manyi and asked her to make up her own mind.
Gao Man lowered his eyes, and when he raised them again, his eyes were gray and gloomy.
"You can give Yong'an a few more concubines. I don't have a problem with the children born to both men and women going to the long house. My eldest brother's step-son is also the concubine of the second room. ”
Qiao Shi knew that it was Zheng Lingyi's idea, so he glanced at her in disgust, but he also felt that this was a compromise in his heart.
"So be it. It's good to stay in the second room, and no one is allowed to beat his idea in the future. ”
General Wu slapped the board, and everyone had nothing to say.
Qiao's mind flew to the matter of choosing a few good concubines for Wu Yongan, and Gao Man also said hello and left without twisting his face, and she didn't care.
Only Zheng Lingyi hurriedly chased after him, and said to Gao Man: "Sister-in-law, don't be sad. ”
Gao Man stopped without warning, Zheng Lingyi almost bumped into her, and quickly staggered to a stop.
"Thank you brother and sister for the idea." Gao Man also said in a strange tone, she seemed to want to be generous and thankful, but her heart was really reciprocal, so it sounded very unpleasant.
After she finished speaking, she left, leaving Zheng Lingyi in place for a long time and couldn't come back to her senses.
Lu Zhu didn't know what was going on, but she also heard that Gao Man's tone was not good, and asked worriedly: "Is the old lady provoking?" ”
Zheng Lingyi laughed self-deprecatingly, shook his head, and said, "It's really not her who provoked it, it's me who has a lot of tongues." ”
Her tone was full of disappointment, and it was distressing to hear.
After Wu Zhi returned to the quiet residence in the evening, although Zheng Lingyi cheered up and pretended to be fine, he was still a little sluggish.
Wu Zhi thought that Chen Rao was going to marry someone that made her melancholy, but later Lu Zhu said that she knew that she was also a little unhappy with Gao Man.
Wu Zhi understood Gao Manyi early, and he didn't ask the reason, he only pestered Zheng Lingyi behind the bed, and he didn't have time to think about it, and after a night, this unhappiness faded a lot.
When he woke up in the morning, Wu Zhi had disappeared, and Zheng Lingyi touched the place where he had been lying, quite stunned.
He has been very busy these days, and the errands that should have been shared by the two of them are all on him, just because the little girl in Baisizheng's family is unwell, so he can't give up, and he sits at the table every day, but the errand in his hand can't be solved.
This child is also strange, when the weather is cold, it is good, when the weather is warm, when the grass grows and the warbler flies, he has a cough.
It was his daughter who was sick, but Bai Sizheng lost a lot of weight, and if he said that the flesh in his heart could cure the disease, Bai Sizheng would probably not hesitate to stab his heart with a knife.
Seeing that he was so worried, Wu Zhi couldn't say anything, so he had to take on more responsibilities himself.
In my spare time, I will look at the old tree in the courtyard outside the window and think, if I have a daughter, will I also become like this?
Wu Zhengzheng was puzzled, and when he saw Wu Yongan walking in, he thought of Sister Mei when he saw him.
His niece is also well-behaved and intelligent, but he doesn't think that Wu Yongan likes her much, at least not like Bai Sizheng, who regards his daughter more seriously than his son, Wu Zhi lowered his eyes and said in his heart, "Isn't the Wu family cold-blooded?" ’
He began to worry inexplicably again, what if Zheng Lingyi gave birth to a little bit for himself, but he didn't like it that much, what should he do?
Wu Zhi frowned, keenly aware that this worrying behavior was really not like himself, and he didn't know what was wrong.
Zheng Lingyi is going to Mi's house to accompany Teng's family to drink tea today, Teng's own daughter has no in-laws, and when Gong was in the past, he loved her like a daughter.
Now that she has followed her son, Teng Shi easily does not dare to think about her, and it hurts to think about it.
Thinking that Zheng Lingyi was still in line with his eyes, and remembered a joke from General Wu, he invited her to Mi's house as a guest.
Zheng Lingyi has a good impression of the Mi family, so she naturally accepted the invitation, and the Teng family also set a table of tea to entertain her.
The Gong family has gone, the second son and the third son have not yet married a wife, the Mi family's house is empty, and the Teng family is really bored at home, which is also the reason why she often comes to the Mi family with Gong Xinyu.
However, recently, she also felt that Gong Xinyu's move was becoming more and more inappropriate, and it was impossible for the Mi family and the Gong family to marry again, and Teng saw that Mi Jiyue had no intention of Gong Xinyu.
Gong Xinyu changed her tricks to find an excuse to get close to Mi Jiyue, but in the end, it was all in vain, and it was not good for her reputation. So during this period of time, Gong Xinyu said that she was coming, and Teng found an excuse to refuse.
Zheng Lingyi could actually guess what Teng wanted to say when he invited him, but he didn't expect Teng to just discuss poetry and painting with her.
Zheng Lingyi said a lot of opinions, which surprised Teng's family, and asked the maid to go to Master Mi's study to get treasures for Zheng Lingyi to see.
After all, it is a family with a scholarly style, and these leisure and elegant tastes are the main tone of their lives.
However, Teng's family was also entrusted by others after all, and he gave Zheng Lingyi a painting with a painting full of peach forests, a large area of red and pink powder, and a pavilion on the mountainside, and a family of three in the pavilion.
Seeing Zheng Lingyi looking at the painting and smiling slightly, Teng understood that she wanted a child, so he said softly: "But what's the difficulty?" ”
Zheng Lingyi shook his head, his cheeks were slightly red, and said, "Originally, I thought that the grade was young, and I had been conditioning for half a year, but we had seen the doctor earlier and said that everything was fine. ”
Teng Shi was relieved, patted Zheng Lingyi's hand, and said: "That's chance, it's okay, I'll look at the third child's fierce appearance, it's almost there." ”
Although Teng's temperament is elegant, in the end, he gave birth to three sons, and when it comes to these things, he is always unrestrained.
Zheng Lingyi's face was so hot that she could almost make a cake, she rolled up the picture and handed it to Luzhu Haosheng to collect.
The two talked happily, and suddenly saw a maid coming in a hurry, and said, "Madam, Sister Gong is here." ”
Teng Shi lost his smile and said, "This girl is becoming more and more reckless." ”
Listening to his words and looking at his appearance, Teng obviously didn't know that Sister Gong was coming today.
Teng glanced at Zheng Lingyi, thought for a while, and said, "I know that you guys have been unhappy before, but today I am here, and I am not afraid that this girl will be rude." ”
These words are to let Gong Xinyu in. Zheng Lingyi nodded and said, "Naturally." ”
The only person in this world who can make Gong Xinyu hold her breath is Teng's family, after all, she is still looking forward to being Teng's daughter-in-law.
When Gong Xinyu walked in, she pouted, with a look of disgust, and after seeing Zheng Lingyi next to Teng's side, her face suddenly couldn't hold back, as if she had seen something dirty.
"Madam, you have always refused to see me these days, is it just to see her?" Gong Xinyu leaned on Teng's side delicately, and glared at Zheng Lingyi with slanted eyes.
She was afraid that she thought that Zheng Lingyi was here to sue today, so her eyes were extremely unkind, Zheng Lingyi looked away indifferently and ate a plum.
"What is this called? Dare I only talk to you? Teng's shoulders made her lean on sore, and gave her maid a look.
The maid stepped forward and hugged Gong Xinyu and asked her to sit down on the other side of Teng's family.
"No, Xinyu doesn't mean that, it's just that I haven't seen Mrs. for a long time, I miss you, and I miss Midou'er."
Gong Xinyu looked at Teng's expression as she spoke, wondering if Zheng Lingyi had said anything bad about her.
"Mi Dou'er let your second brother take enlightenment, don't say it's you, even if it's me, I won't see him at this hour."
Teng's words made Gong Xinyu jump up, "Then I'll go to the second brother!" ”
Gong Xinyu said, about to go out.
Teng's dissatisfaction with Gong Xinyu was a little pent-up, seeing that she was so unruly and bent on going her own way, he didn't care that Zheng Lingyi was still there, so he stopped her and said: "Men's residence, how can you just go, in the past, you were young and unrestrained, and with your sister present, it is not a lonely man and a widow, it is not very different at this time." ”
Gong Xinyu turned around with red eyes, looked at Teng with tears in her eyes, and said in disbelief: "Madam." ”
Teng Shi avoided her gaze, didn't make himself soft-hearted, and said in a hard voice: "I haven't seen you for the past few days, and it's also for the sake of your reputation, Xinyu, you are a big girl, you have to see everything clearly, it's not yours, don't ask for it." ”
Gong Xinyu understood, she was desperate in her heart, Teng had never spoken to herself like this, could it be that she was provoked by the Zheng family and looked down on herself?
Zheng Lingyi even lowered his breathing, for fear that Gong Xinyu would be angry with him, but he couldn't hide from it.
Gong Xinyu glanced at Zheng Lingyi, pointed at her, and said angrily: "Did you say something!" You slander me! ”
Zheng Lingyi was so innocent, she only had time to wave her hand, and before she could speak to explain, Gong Xinyu said earnestly to Teng's family: "Madam, don't listen to her, it was the cheap servant who treated me first that day." ”
Teng Shi was simply inexplicable and said, "What are you talking about?" Mrs. Wu didn't mention you a word. ”
Gong Xinyu herself was stunned, she froze for a long time, Zheng Lingyi was here, she really couldn't put aside this face to be coquettish at Teng's family, and ran away crying.
Zheng Lingyi and Teng looked at each other, as if the two of them had teamed up to bully Gong Xinyu.
"What the hell was she talking about?" Teng's Road.
As soon as Gong Xinyu left, Zheng Lingyi didn't want to say what she was right and wrong right and wrong right away, so she hesitated.
Teng said: "She has lost her temper with you left and right, you just say it, and you don't wronged her." ”
Zheng Lingyi smiled dumbly, and briefly talked about the vegetarian restaurant, even if it was brief, it could be heard that Gong Xinyu was quite unreasonable.
Teng sighed and said: "I have always known her temper, she is well-behaved in front of me, but it is not like this in front of others, my son is even more poisonous, he doesn't like it if he doesn't like it, and there is such a quarrel between our two families, I really didn't want her to enter my house, although it was embarrassing today, if I could make her break her mind, it would be fine." ”
