Chapter 52: The Aunt's Family's Plans

By the time the apricots in the yard were yellow and peachy, it was already May. The melons in the field also grow to weigh two or three pounds. The lotus leaves in the pond have come out of the water, and there are a few lotus bones scattered here and there, standing in the middle of the water. The breeze is blowing, but it is also full of fun. Some of the fish in the water are half a catty, and they are swinging their tails leisurely. A few rose branches sticking out of the wall from the outside, naughty peeping.

Zheng Qingluan sat in the pavilion and flipped through the book in his hand. I don't know what kind of grass the pestle planted in the garden, but I really don't see a single mosquito. Xiaoba led the big pillar and two pillars, and stuck to it in the orchard, and from time to time there was the sound of children's laughter. She didn't bother to read, so she got up and walked up and down the garden. Although it is planted with melons, fruits and vegetables, there are many people who serve them, and they are also careful, and they are made like a garden, neat and tidy. The cucumbers and eggplants in the vegetable garden are already edible. All of them are fresh and tender hanging from the branches.

"The second lady wants to eat something fresh, and the slave maid will pick it for you. "There is a girl under the bean frame, which is a little delicate and lovely. It is the Fu family of Futuaner. She is responsible for sprinkling and sweeping every day, and when she is free, she spreads in the vegetable garden. Such a girl is much stronger than Zhaodi and Magpie, and it is inevitable that it is a pity to be rough, but helplessly, with Zheng Qingju's heart, she can't recover this girl, her heart is a little big, and it is a disaster to put it around. Gu Fang's grandmother said that she often goes to Erlang Saburo's side. Zheng Qingluan sighed lightly, there are many people and there are many troubles!

She remained silent, smiled lightly and waved her hand, "It's still a little tender! If you take it off now, it's a waste. "Qian will definitely talk about it.

Seeing Zheng Qingluan turn around to leave, Fu Tuan'er was a little anxious, "Second Miss, I heard that Mrs. Gu is coming home." Although his tone was urgent, his face was calm.

This means that Zheng Lufeng's family has arrived at the old mansion! She is well-informed. It seems that Lao Futou's porter is doing a good job, and in the past few days, the affairs of the village have not been able to hide from him. I'm afraid that there are a few mouse holes under someone's kang, and he also inquired clearly.

Something interesting!

And this girl is a very self-motivated girl! I just don't know if she means to say these things herself, or what Lao Futou means.

Zheng Qingluan's eyes dimmed a little more! In the end, he is the son of a big family in the Hou family, and I am afraid that he has seen a lot of backhouse collapse. So the sense of smell is not generally sensitive.

"Oh?" Zheng Qingluan stopped, looking like he was listening carefully.

"Mrs. Gu said to the old lady that the two young ladies are more than enough to match the two young masters of our family. She hung her head, unable to see the look on her face.

Even the private words of the old lady and her daughter can be known immediately!

She beckoned for the girl to come over. "Do you know the identity of Mama Fang next to me?" Zheng Qingluan removed the dead leaves stuck to her hair for her and straightened them out. "That's human sperm from the palace. The people in this courtyard tried to hide their every move from her eyes. ”

Fu Tuan'er's face turned pale, and cold sweat flowed from her head. Kneeling down in panic, waiting for the disposition. She knew that she had committed a taboo! She regretted that she should not have listened to her grandfather's persuasion and underestimated this second young lady.

"Get up. Zheng Qingluan saw that the subordinates working in the courtyard looked over quietly, and didn't want to give her no face, this girl is still somewhat useful.

Seeing that she immediately stood up consciously, she said, "You're a smart one." But the Zheng family is not the Marquis of Wenyuan's mansion, and there are not so many messy rules. Don't make up your mind. Be a good errand, I promise you a good future. ”

Fu Tuan'er's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood. This is the future housewife of the Xiao family, and the girls beside her, those military attachés in the army are rushing to ask for it. The wife of the main house, who was hired back, "The slave and maid dare not have two hearts." ”

Zheng Qingluan looked at this girl and understood, and breathed a sigh of relief, she had planned to reuse this Fu family, but now it is just suppressing their arrogance. "You pay more attention to the things outside, and report them in time, which will have your own benefits. ”

"Yes! "The attitude was very respectful.

Zheng Qingluan didn't stop, and continued to walk forward, under the grape trellis, Zheng Qingju was leading the two girls to do needlework, and the north and south winds passed through the hall, which was indeed extremely cool.

"Why do you sew a belly pocket for Xiao Ba?" Zheng Qingluan rummaged through the material of the red brocade, "How old is he?"

"I'm afraid that I will be cold in summer, and the quilt will be kicked and my stomach will be cold. Zheng Qingju raised his chin and motioned for his sister to sit and speak.

"Don't keep giving us a few to do. Instead, he left his brother-in-law behind. Zheng Qingluan remembered the things sent back from Fucheng every once in a while, and reminded.

Zheng Qingju's face turned red, glared at his sister, and he didn't look at the occasion when he spoke. She sent the two girls to "go to the orchard and have a look, and pick a few yellow apricots." ”

Zhao Di and the magpie hurriedly got up and went.

"Can you still use it?" Zheng Qingluan looked at the backs of the two girls and asked in a low voice.

"It's done!" Zheng Qingju's subordinates kept going, occasionally raising their heads, "He is a diligent and responsible person, and he is not lazy and slippery." I have to help in the kitchen when I am free, chop wood and carry water, and I am very capable! I am used to living a hard life. Not so fancy. Then he asked, "What's wrong with the girl of the Fu family?"

This is just seeing the girl kneeling. Zheng Qingluan didn't hide it, "My heart is a little big! ”

Zheng Qingju put down the work in his hand, and didn't understand what he meant for a while, "Want to serve San Lang?" Seeing that my sister had an expression that you were a fool, she understood, "Quite an aunt?"

Zheng Qingluan nodded, "I've already disposed of it." Don't worry! "It's sad.

"That's why you didn't give her to me, and found two stupid girls who didn't care, I'm afraid I won't be able to control it. Zheng Qingju looked at her sister and asked.

Zheng Qingluan's face said, 'You just understood', very helpless, "That girl has too many eyes and eyes, and she is also lively." Ten you are not her one. Behind it, there is such a family of people in the Fu family, fooling you as if they were playing. Zhao Di and Magpie are both from poor peasant families, even if they are selfish, they can't hide it from you. In addition, the Bai family, when you go out in the future, the two parties will not have much conflict of interest, and they can supervise and balance each other, so there will be no big mistakes. "This is a confession with Zheng Qingju.

Zheng Qingju nodded, her sister had thought about everything for her, and she just obeyed her orders.

Zheng Qingluan suddenly felt that this sister's life was really a blessing. Don't worry about everything! When she gets married in the future, she doesn't have to worry about it, Wang Xinghua is full of heart and eyes, and she doesn't need her.

It seems that he is the most miserable one. Secretly embarrassed! Changing the subject, "I said that my aunt's family is here." Zheng Qingju spoke, looking at the magpie standing not far away with a fruit basket, and beckoned.

The magpie put down the fruit basket, and there were a dozen yellow-orange-orange apricots that had been washed.

"I didn't have much fruit this year, just enough for my own food. Zheng Qingju put away the needle and thread, picked a soft one, and instructed the magpie, "If you find the second uncle of the Fu family, just say my words, let people pick the ripe fruit quickly, and leave it for gifting, and each of you will share a few." If he stayed in the tree, he brought the finches and wasted things. Seeing the magpie leaving, he said to Zheng Qingluan, "Now there are many people in the family, and the gardens are just self-sufficient, and there is no superfluity at all." ”

"I know what to do. Zheng Qingluan sucked the juice in the soft apricot, "After the autumn harvest, I will slowly buy the fields." At that time, if my father could show off his talents, our family's land would not have to pay taxes. ”

Zheng Qingju nodded, as long as her sister had a plan, she didn't say much, and when she saw that the magpie was far away, she turned the topic back, "I expected my sister-in-law to come back." Can you not take advantage of it? I'm afraid that the old lady will ask someone to take it. ”

"The old lady is a person who loves her daughter. Zheng Qingluan praised it objectively.

"Hmph! Most of them are coming for Gorou and Hachi. Zheng Qingju pursed his lips, very disdainful.

Zheng Qingluan was stunned, what did you say? Don't you want to give your daughter to San Lang?

Seeing her sister's look of solution, Zheng Qingju smiled slightly, "My sister-in-law married into the Zhao family and gave birth to two daughters. Zhao Fandie and Zhao Zizhu, one eleven, the other nine. Our family Wulang, thirteen years old, is two years older than Zhao Fandie. Xiaoba is eight years old this year, one year younger than Zhao Zizhu, and it is only two months old if he says he is one year old. Age comparable. This is a son-in-law who is planning to recruit a good person!" She put the apricot kernels into the fruit basket as well, and continued, "San Lang is the eldest son, and she will never beat San Lang's idea." ”

Zheng Qingluan suddenly realized that there was really such a possibility. I'm afraid that the old lady and the old man are also in favor. What a strange brain circuit this is, Zheng Qingluan can't imagine it even if he lives two more lives.

"Mother can slap her out!" Zheng Qingluan was really bored, "I have to think of a fold, once and for all." ”

"Pull it down! unless you don't recognize this family, otherwise—" Zheng Qingju wiped his hands with a handkerchief, "If you want to get rid of it, it's even more difficult." ”

Zheng Qingluan nodded, she kept planning the gains and losses in her heart, this thing is not impossible to operate, she ate the apricots in her hand in two bites, threw the kernel, stood up and ran towards the main entrance.

"What is this damn girl, doing so much so much?" she packed up her things, and thought, it's almost noon, what should I have for lunch?

Zheng Qingluan was outside the gate, looking at the old fortune who was pruning the flower branches. His little grandson was gathering the branches. I heard the old fortune explain, "Don't throw it around, this thing is wild, and you can live by inserting it." Insert a few more wastelands to raise two more boxes of bees. ”

Zheng Qingluan nodded secretly, it's good to be able to put down his body.

"Second Miss, do you have something to order?" Seeing Zheng Qingluan standing at the door, Lao Futou hurriedly put down the scissors and walked over quickly.

Zheng Qingluan nodded, "Let the rest of the work go, you just have to ask me one thing in the past two days, more than 20 years ago, what Taoist priests have been in this village, who have counted hexagrams, seen the appearance, and approved the fate." ”

Lao Futou nodded, "Miss, come back, this matter is not difficult, and you will be able to ask it clearly." ”

Zheng Qingluan glanced at Lao Futou meaningfully, "You have to ask carefully, ask carefully." ”

Lao Futou was a little uncertain by that glance
