Reborn Concubine's Wife

Chapter 81
For dinner and breakfast the next day, she pretended to be sick and unable to cook.Liu Xu didn't say anything else, and made a meal.Zheng Jinxiao went to Bailu Academy and hasn't come back yet, so Zheng Ruo's meals are simple.

Seeing that there was a lot less food on the food table brought out, Yang Zhi was secretly happy.She knew that Zheng Ruo was inexplicably wary of herself, but she didn't expect that she would put that packet of medicine powder in the water tank and eat the boiled rice in the water tank. How could she not be poisoned?
The sound of "tap, tap, tap" sounded, and Zheng Ruo went downstairs wearing wooden clogs and that dark purple costume.She only used a silver hairpin to tie up a loose pony bun, and the rest of her waist-length hair flowed behind her back like water, and water drop pearl earrings were hung on her round earlobes.There are not many accessories, but this outfit highlights her temperament.Especially her eyes are now indifferent like autumn frost, Yang Zhi looked at it, and suddenly felt that the girl in front of her had a slight sense of alienation, but she was noble and mysterious.

When those penetrating eyes looked at her, she lowered her head a little guilty.When Zheng Ruo passed by her, she stopped.I don't know if it's his own illusion, Yang Zhi seems to have heard the girl's disdainful snort.Why?
Zheng Jinxiao took away the only carriage, and Xu Yi was sent outside by her to buy food.Mrs. Liu sent her a carriage.After Zheng Ruo left the courtyard, when he saw the carriage, he was stunned for a moment.Without him, this is Mrs. Liu's own car.But now it was assigned to her.

She thought it was a bit weird at first, but she hesitated even more.

Just when she wanted to refuse to go, the curtain of the car was pulled open, revealing Zheng Qi's petite face.

"Let's go, Seventh Sister. Mrs. Liu and the others are waiting for us at the door."

Seeing Zheng Qi sitting in the carriage, Zheng Ruo walked over and said, "Is it just you?"

"No, there's also Zheng Yu." As she spoke, she stepped aside so that Zheng Ruo could see what was going on inside.

"Seventh Sister." Zheng Yu, like Zheng Ruo, is also a concubine. She has a weak temperament, and after calling her, she shrank back like a frightened rabbit.

Zheng Yu was one year younger than Zheng Ruo, seeing that she was invited by Mrs. Liu, Zheng Ruo dispelled her doubts and helped Liu Xu's hand to get into the carriage.

She thought that Mrs. Liu really spent a lot of money today, and looking at the clothes on the two of them, she knew that they were also made of high-quality materials.Could it be that the Patriarch had some happy event, or how could she, who was always stingy, suddenly be so generous?

After meeting Mrs. Liu, Zheng Wan and Zheng Ru outside the gate, the carriage drove forward.

After walking for about half an hour, the carriage stopped.Zheng Ruo lifted the curtain, and the carriage stopped outside General Zuo's mansion.She thought of the domineering sister-in-law Zhang Yuan she met in the busy market that day.

"Ah... I really didn't expect that we would come to the Zuo General's residence for a banquet." Zheng Qi exclaimed in surprise, "I heard that Zuo General is a Confucian general, and his sons are also among the dragons and phoenixes."

Zheng Yu timidly glanced outside, and she didn't dare to move until she heard Mrs. Liu say to get off the car.Zheng Ruo also knew that the carriage would not stop until it reached the second gate.

Seeing that the two of them didn't answer the conversation, Zheng Qi also felt bored, so he stopped talking, opened his round eyes, and looked outside curiously.After a while, the carriage started to move.Before the second entrance, stop again.The servants of the general's mansion raised the curtains, helped them get out of the carriage, and then got into the bamboo sedan chair carried by two people.

Zheng Ruo was surprised that in her last life, she also went to a banquet with Mrs. Liu, but it seemed that she was not in the general's mansion, but in a mansion similar to Zheng's mansion.How did you arrive at General Zuo's mansion now?
After entering here, I realized how big General Zuo was. Compared with the Xie Mansion she had been to last time, it can be said that he was evenly matched.Not to mention Zheng Qi and Zheng Yu, even Zheng Wan and Zheng Ru watched with wide-eyed curiosity, even Madam Liu was a little envious.General Zuo's mansion, with its beautiful scenery and exquisite layout, is really ingenious.

From a distance, the sound of silk and bamboo wind music can be heard.The bamboo sedan chair also stopped.Zheng Ruo followed behind Zheng Qi, followed Mrs. Liu and the others, turned around corridors, walked through a garden, and stopped in front of a two-story house.There was constant laughter inside, the sound of warblers and swallows, it seemed that there were quite a few people.

He took off his clogs, went to the front of the hall, and saluted with Mrs. Liu.

"Mrs. Liu is a rare guest, please hurry up." The person who spoke was a round-faced woman sitting on the upper right, a mid-aged woman with a charming charm.Zheng Ruo vaguely remembered that she was General Zuo's wife, Mrs. Li.

Sitting opposite her was a woman who was slightly younger than her. Her phoenix eyes were full of charm, and her palm-sized melon-seeded face was even more delicate.She is a beauty.

Who is this woman?

After seeing the ceremony, Mrs. Liu sat with the wives, and the sister-in-laws were brought down by a maid to sit with the other sister-in-laws who came first.

In a short while, Zheng Wan, Zheng Ru and Zheng Qi had already chatted and laughed with others, only Zheng Yu was the same as her, who was not talkative, lowered her head, looked at the things on the food table, and swallowed fiercely.

It was this cowardly-looking cousin who finally married a petty official.Later, after the Hu people invaded and rebelled, her husband-in-law took her and fled to the south of the Yangtze River. It is said that her husband-in-law was favored by a nobleman, and then his career went straight up.What is commendable is that even after her husband became rich, he still never left her. She was always the only wife, and he never took concubines or concubines.Zheng Yu can be said to be the happiest among their sisters.

Women, marrying a good husband is the foundation of happiness.

she thinks.

Perhaps feeling Zheng Ruo's gaze on her, Zheng Yu timidly raised his head, smiled shyly at her, and lowered his head again.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the gate.

Zheng Ruo looked over, and a tall woman walked in surrounded by everyone.In the May weather, she was dressed in pink silk, and her long skirt was like flowing clouds as she walked, approaching from far away.It's not an exaggeration to describe the face with a light smile as "a country and a city".

The fourth aunt of the Xie family, Xie Wanying.
