Chapter 168 Finding an Alliance

Aunt Shen said with satisfaction when she heard this: "Lingzhu, your female celebrity specially invited Su Niangzi to teach, and the calligraphy and painting were also taught by the master, all of which are good. It's just that the embroidery of the Baishou diagram takes a lot of effort, and I'm afraid you have to start preparing now. ”

Hao Lingzhu nodded lightly and said, "Auntie, don't worry, the time is in time, and there are nearly three months to go." ”

Aunt Shen smiled: "Then you really have to bother, if the ancestors know about it, they may be so happy." After praising Hao Lingzhu's filial piety here, Aunt Shen raised her eyebrows and glared at Hao Lingwei again, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Lingwei, listen, Lingzhu is so attentive to prepare for the birth of the ancestors, why don't you have any ideas at all?" Could it be that the ancestors have hurt you in vain? ”

Hao Lingwei pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice: "I haven't seen the old ancestor before, what does it hurt." ”

Ding Page was stunned, but he didn't expect that Hao Lingwei had never seen the face of the ancestor since she was born. It is also possible to think about it, it is said that the ancestor went to the capital more than ten years ago and has been with the eldest son Hao Zhongguo's family. Hao Zhongguo is currently the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he is in power for a while, and his ancestors are also quite face-saving in the capital. I can't help but think of what Hao Ling said last night, Hao Lingzhu's marriage was also set in the capital, probably the ancestor was also very kind to her when Hao Lingzhu went to the capital, otherwise with her current age, I am afraid that she has only seen the ancestor in infancy, and she will not have any impression.

Hearing Hao Lingwei's words, Aunt Shen's face sank again, "Lingwei, how do you speak?" How did your mother teach you? Where did you put filial piety? The 60th birthday of your ancestor is the time for you to show filial piety, how can you say such a rebellious thing? ”

Even if Aunt Shen spoke so fiercely at the moment, Hao Lingwei didn't look annoyed at all, as if she was used to being told by Aunt Shen, but it was very strange to call Ding Page. She heard that Aunt Shen has always been very pampered by Hao Lingwei, and there is no reason to be trained in front of them now, Hao Lingwei actually didn't react at all, right?

Unless...... Aunt Shen's words have other meanings.

Ding Yezi glanced at everyone in the room, except for Hao Lingzhu and Hao Lingwei, she was the only young lady, could it be that she was talking to her?

After Aunt Shen finished training Hao Lingwei, her cold face changed, and in an instant, she looked at Ding Page with a smile on her face, and asked with a smile: "Page Page, have you thought of what to prepare for the old ancestor?" ”

Ding Page was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Auntie, I just learned that the first month of next year is the birthday of my ancestors, and I haven't had time to think about what to prepare." After Hao Ling comes back in the evening, I will ask him again to see what he is going to do, anyway, it will be a long time, so I don't have to worry for a while. ”

Aunt Shen nodded with satisfaction, and said: "This is the best, now that you are a family, everything is naturally the best to be discussed, if you come up with a good idea in the future, just tell me." ”

Ding Yezi smiled lightly and accepted Aunt Shen's words.

As for how to prepare, she still didn't have an idea, so she could only wait for Hao Ling to come back in the evening and ask him. Think about the identity of the old lady, a son is a high-ranking official, a son is a huge rich, the family does not worry about food and clothing, nor does it worry about the filial piety of children, think about what you should want. Such a person, she won't care about ordinary things, but things made by herself can make her happy for a while, like Hao Lingzhu said that the Baishou map to prepare is the best gift.

But she doesn't know anything, except for making tofu, she doesn't have the ability to do anything, what handmade objects do you take to honor?

Not...... In fact, she thinks that as long as it is a heart, there is no need for any handicrafts, right?

Then Aunt Shen told her something, probably meaning that if Hao Lingzhu lacked anything, just tell her, and if she lacked help, she would take care of it. As soon as Aunt Shen's words came out, a flash of inspiration flashed in Ding Page's mind, and she suddenly came up with an idea.

Although Zishuang's temper is not very good, but I heard that her embroidery is very good, and she has embroidered two handkerchiefs for her before, according to her unprofessional eyes, it is indeed okay, but I don't know if it can reach the level required by Hao Lingzhu.

As soon as the idea came out, Ding Yezi decided to discuss it with Hao Lingzhu later, if it was feasible, it would naturally be the best. If Zishuang can be sent out, Qinglian will be easy to deal with, she is already softer, not too bold like Zishuang.

After coming out of Aunt Shen's place, Ding Page walked by Hao Lingzhu's side, staying away from the South Courtyard, Ding Page sent Dong'er back first, Hao Lingzhu was not a stupid person, seeing Ding Page doing this, he knew that she must have something to tell her, so he simply sent his personal maid Xiaoxi back first.

There was no one left and right, and when he looked at Ding Page, Hao Lingzhu's always indifferent face pulled out a smile, and asked, "Sister-in-law, but you have something to tell me?" ”

Ding Yezi nodded busily, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Lingzhu, I do have something to ask you." ”

"Oh?" Hao Lingzhu was surprised and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Ding Yezi clenched his hands, struggled for a while, and sneered: "Lingzhu, it's too cold outside, why don't we go into the house and talk?" ”

Hao Lingzhu didn't pay much attention to it, anyway, Ding Page was her sister-in-law, so naturally she wouldn't hurt her, so she nodded and said yes, and asked again: "Is that going to the East Courtyard, or going to my room to talk?" ”

Ding Yezi hurriedly said: "Let's go to your house, it's not too convenient to talk in the east courtyard." ”

Hao Lingzhu grew up in an environment like Hao Mansion since she was a child, and she has heard a lot of things, so she naturally quickly understood what the reason why Ding Yezi said that it was not convenient, and said with a smile: "Cheng, then sister-in-law, please first." ”

After saying that, Hao Lingzhu moved away slightly and motioned for Ding Page to go first.

Ding Yezi generously stepped forward and hugged Hao Lingzhu's arm, and said with a smile: "Let's go together." ”

Hao Lingzhu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to break away from Ding Page's hand, after all, in terms of the upbringing she received since she was a child, she has always paid great attention to women's appearance and morality, even with women, she also pays great attention to behavior, and now Ding Page's hand in hand with her in public, it can't help but make her a little unaccustomed.

Ding Yezi felt her movements, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "What?" But not used to it? ”

Hao Lingzhu's embarrassed chin head.

Ding Yezi said: "It's okay, I'm your sister-in-law, so it's okay to think that our sister-in-law has a good relationship." Let's go, I still have something to discuss with you. ”

As he spoke, Ding Page pulled Hao Lingzhu's arm and left.

I don't know why, Hao Lingzhu, who has always been cold, couldn't say anything against it at this time, obviously she didn't like this kind of hooking up her shoulders and backs, and her reaction was too ordinary, as if it should be so. Obviously, I should think that she is domineering and rude, but there is a faint feeling of warmth in my heart, and I can't help but follow her movements and move forward.

When they arrived in Hao Lingzhu's courtyard in the north courtyard, the two went directly to the warm pavilion, Xiaoxi had already prepared refreshments, and when Ding Page and Hao Lingzhu came in, Xiao Xi also retreated with interest, but Ding Page couldn't help but glance at her, this maid seemed to be silent, but she was actually very clever.

The two of them sat down on the chairs covered with warm cushions, and each took a sip of hot tea from the teacup, warming up their bodies, and then Ding Yezi said: "Lingzhu, I think you know a little bit about the situation in the East Courtyard, right?" There were no maids around your brother to serve, everything was done by An Xin, and now that I am married, Aunt Shen sent four maids to the East Courtyard, even if I don't talk about it, you should understand a little bit, right? I won't tell you anything, Qinglian and Zishuang are the maids that Aunt Shen gave to your brother as elders. ”

"You also know what happened before, Aunt Shen has been thinking about letting Shen Yan marry your brother, and even resorted to such a bad method."

"By what means?" Hao Lingzhu suddenly interrupted Ding Page's words and asked puzzled.

Ding Page was stunned, and then he remembered that Shen Yan's drug did not spread outside, and it was also for the sake of Shen Yan's reputation, if it was spread out, Shen Yan's reputation would be ruined, and Hao Ling would have to marry her, which would not be what Ding Page wanted.

Ding Yezi snorted lightly and pondered for a long time, still considering whether to tell Hao Lingzhu the truth.

Hao Lingzhu saw her embarrassment, and was also very interested in what she said before, after all, she only has one brother, and her father is still a father shared with others, so naturally she is most concerned about Hao Ling's affairs. Then he said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law, if there is anything, I hope you will tell me the truth, I am also very concerned about my brother's affairs, don't hide it from me, okay?" ”

Hao Lingzhu said so, and after thinking about it twice, Ding Yezi also felt that he could talk to Hao Lingzhu. According to her current understanding of Hao Lingzhu, Hao Lingzhu is definitely not the kind of person who acts rashly, and after knowing about that incident, she should also know all their intentions to hide it.

"Lingzhu, here's the thing, you still remember your brother's illness before, right?" Ding Page Masse said.

Hao Lingzhu bowed, "I remember that my brother didn't go out to drink and socialize that day, and he fell into the lake somehow, if he hadn't found it in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable." ”

Speaking of the end, Hao Lingzhu also faintly felt that something was wrong, that day she was very puzzled by the reason why Hao Ling fell into the lake, but there were no bystanders, and no one could find a reason to ask, and finally Dad said that his brother was just walking carelessly, so he fooled the matter.

"Could it be another reason?" Hao Lingzhu twisted his eyebrows and asked in astonishment.
