Reborn Concubine's Wife

Chapter 51: Nickname Phoenix (2)
"Huh?" Zheng Ruo was puzzled.

"You can call me Big Brother Li, Hero and Hero, I sound awkward. Or, you can call me by my nickname, Phoenix." At this moment, Li Yun was smiling, no longer unapproachable.

Zheng Ruo opened her small mouth slightly, a little surprised, "Huh?" She still couldn't believe that she could call this strange person in front of her who was praised or belittled by countless people later by her nickname.

A few days after Li Yun left, Zheng Ruo still couldn't believe that he could call him by his nickname.

"Phoenix..." She chewed the name carefully, thinking of those unruly and flamboyant eyes under the broken hair, wondering what kind of person could be called Phoenix?What kind of demeanor should the king of birds have?
She was sitting in front of the window, playing the lyre, and the melodious sound of the lyre resounded over the small courtyard.After Zheng Jinxiao drank the medicine, she was in a deep sleep.Sure enough, as the doctor said, under the careful care of her and Liu Xu, his body is slowly recovering.This made the heart that she had been carrying all along finally let go.

She thought that no matter how tough fate was, as long as she was not afraid and went forward, she would always be able to kill a piece of the sky.

"Girl..." Yang Zhi called out from outside, "The Patriarch sent someone here."

"What's the matter?" The sound of the piano didn't stop, she closed her eyes, as if she was still immersed in the sound of the piano.

"It is said that the girl will go to the owner's place."

With a hook of her little finger, she ended the last note.Stand up and walk outside.It was a maid who came and saw her strolling out.The maid gave her a somewhat haughty look, revealing a look that was almost contemptuous.From her point of view, she has always been by the Patriarch's side.The Patriarch is also a celebrity in the entire Phoenix City. Under his personal guidance, he not only has a rough knowledge of writing, but also has a little knowledge of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.Apart from her status, how could she be inferior to those unfavorable offspring concubines?
Indeed, even the sister-in-law of an ordinary family may not be able to possess silk and satin all over her body.

"The Patriarch needs you, come with me." Seeing her coming out, the maid Xiao Wan didn't salute, she raised her head and walked forward like a proud peacock.

Pingyu came over and said with some joy: "Girl, the owner must know that Wang Jiulang values ​​you. I want to invite you to ask questions. Girl, maybe your marriage with Wang Jiulang will be finalized." She was infinite Looking forward to it, the more I said it, the more I felt it was so, and at the end I nodded affirmatively.

Yang Zhi kept his head down and did not speak, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a hint of sarcasm.

It was Liu Xu who came over and cried out worriedly, "Girl..."

Knowing what she was worried about, Zheng Ruo smiled at her reassuringly, "It's okay, just come with me."

Liu Xu nodded.Xiao Wan, who was walking in front, saw that they were delayed in following, turned around impatiently, and shouted: "Follow up quickly." Liu Xu's face was a little sullen, but she also knew that Xiao Wan was favored by the Patriarch's side. Yes, but she can't.She was afraid that Zheng Ruo would be wronged, so she glanced at her worriedly.

Zheng Ruo smiled slightly, she didn't care about Xiaowan's attitude just now, this Xiaowan was ruined by a group of barbarians when the city was broken later, and even made military rations, the end was not bad.Why bother with such a poor man, she thought?With catkins on her back, she smiled and followed behind Xiaowan.

Xiao Wan glanced back at her, seeing her neither humble nor overbearing, for some reason, she saw Zheng Ruo's sympathy for herself in her eyes.Why?Then it occurred to her that maybe she thought she was a maid to be pitied.She snorted angrily, thinking to herself, where is she a concubine who is more noble than herself?In the future, I don't know who will be allocated by the head of the family?
Thinking of this, she disdains Zheng Ruo even more.

Seeing Zheng Ruo gradually walking away, Ping Ruo smiled and said to Yang Zhi: "The girl married Wang Jiulang this time, which has won the family a great deal of face. The dowry given to her by the owner must be generous. I'm afraid even concubine Teng won't." Less than five."

Yang Zhi also looked at the figure on the other side, showing a mocking smile, and didn't answer.Back in the room, only Pingruo was left alone, still looking forward to it infinitely.

The yard where the owner lives is in the center of Wubao.Zheng Ruo and Liu Xu sat in the carriage and arrived after walking for about an hour.

Watching her get off the carriage, Xiao Wan led the way impatiently.Looking at the carved beams and painted buildings, verandas, waterside pavilions, rockery and flowing water in front of you.Zheng Ruo was in a trance for a while, seeing this scene unexpectedly after a whole life, who would believe it?But even though this place looks extremely exquisite to outsiders, it is nothing compared to the Xie Mansion. Even after Shi Yue took a high position in the previous life, the residence she lived in was more unique than this place.

After going round and round, he finally stood still in front of an attic.The attic is built near the water. In western Liaoning, there are very few residences built near the water, which represents a certain identity and status.This is also the place where Zheng Yuanshun, the Patriarch of the Zheng Mansion, is most proud of.

The rain in Phoenix City has been intermittent for the past few days. Just before Zheng Ruo came, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and now it started to rain in big raindrops.Standing outside, the slanting wind blew, and the raindrops wetted her dress.Nearly half an hour has passed since arriving here, but the Patriarch still has no intention of summoning her.

Xiao Wan, who had just led her here, stood under the eaves of the corridor, from time to time cast a disdainful glance at Zheng Ruo outside, with no abnormality on her face, as if she had already expected the current situation.

Liu Xu leaned towards her, and said worriedly again: "Girl, Patriarch...will you make things difficult for you?" Although she was just a maid, she also knew that Patriarch was more willing to send his two direct twins to Wang Jiulang. Daughter married.Now, the girl is deliberately releasing rumors that she and Wang Jiulang are enjoying each other, and she also faintly feels that the Patriarch is extremely displeased with this.No matter how stupid, it can be seen from the fact that the girl was deliberately standing outside in the wind and rain at this moment, the Patriarch wanted to kill the girl for the limelight these days.

Zheng Ruo patted her hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, we will go in after a while."

Sure enough, after another quarter of an hour, the owner Zheng Yuanshun finally asked Xiaowan to call them in.

Zheng Yuanshun was waving his brush, writing on a piece of bamboo slips.Hearing footsteps, he put down the brush in his hand.Looking at Zheng Ruo standing tall and graceful in the room, he stroked the three goat beard on his chin, and narrowed his inverted triangular eyes slightly.
