Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 65: Such a good son can only be matched by the daughter of the Shen family

When Li Ling returned, Jing Shu had just finished settling the accounts for the day. She handed the accounts to Ziyun and took them to the meeting hall, then walked to Li Ling's side and changed his clothes herself.

Li Ling was unbuttoning his clothes. When he saw Jing Shu coming to serve him in person, he immediately lowered his hands and stood upright with a look of enjoyment on his face: "Did you send Xing'er to the official school today?"

Jingshu took off his official uniform, put it on the clothes rack, and said with a smile: "I went, and I brought Xing'er to see Mr. Cai."

As she said that, she reached over to untie his belt. Li Ling glanced at his little wife who was surrounding him, and felt soft in his heart. He stretched out his hand to hold her and asked, "Can Cai Lun promise to take more care of Xing'er?"

Jing Shu stood tall and graceful in front of him, looked up at him and said, "Even for your sake, Mr. Cai will be attentive to Xing'er." As she said that, she stood on tiptoes and stood on his shoulder. She kissed him gently on her thin lips, winked at him mischievously and said, "Thank you."

Li Ling looked straight at his young wife and asked with a smile: "Then how are you going to thank me?"

Seeing his young wife's pink face, Li Ling hugged her soft waist tightly, then kissed her lips passionately. He moved straight in, and the kiss became more intense, as if he wanted to rub the little wife in his arms into his body.

Jingshu finally broke away from his passionate kiss and said angrily: "Don't make trouble. I'm sure someone in charge will reply after a while. Be careful of being seen."

Li Ling stretched his neck and glanced outside. Seeing that the door was closed, he pulled his young wife into his arms: "Even if someone is coming, don't you have to announce it outside? Who has the guts to barge in directly?" he said. After that, he kissed the watery red lips again.

The two of them were cozying up here when they heard the door to the outer room being pushed open with a bang. Jingshu was so frightened that she quickly pushed Li Ling away.

 Then the third girl’s voice came: “Second sister-in-law, are you there?”

Jingshu agreed and quickly arranged her clothes. Unexpectedly, the third girl ran in after hearing the news. She is now ten years old and knows a little about men and women. Seeing the two of them, the third girl smiled awkwardly: "I, I didn't hinder you. "

Li Ling rolled his eyes at his sister and went outside with a cold face.

The third girl looked at her brother's dark face, stuck out her tongue at Jingshu, shrugged her shoulders and explained, "I didn't see anyone at the door just now. I thought the serving girls were outside, so I went in on my own. ”

Jingshu said: "Ziyun just went to the front hall to deliver the account books." After saying that, she led the third girl to the outside room and asked: "It's so late, what do you want to see me for?"

The third girl replied: "Mr. Liu taught us how to write poems in class today, but I wrote a few poems, but I didn't like them. I know that the second sister-in-law has quite a few poetry collections here, and I want to borrow a few to go back and ponder them." "

Jing Shu smiled and said: "As the saying goes, if you read three hundred poems by heart, you can recite them even if you don't know how to compose them. If you read more, it will naturally be of great help." As she said that, she led the three girls to the outside room. In front of the bookshelf: "These are the ones I often look at when I have nothing to do. If you like them, take them back and read them."

The third girl said thank you, took out a book and opened it, only to see a piece of thin paper falling out of the book. The third girl picked up the piece of paper and unfolded it, and saw that it was a short poem.

 It was the song "Like a Dream" that Jing Shu composed when she and Li Ling visited the lake in the summer.

 “Always remember that the sun sets at the creek pavilion, and I am so drunk that I don’t know the way back.”

The third girl read it without hesitation. After reading it, she looked at Jingshu beside her in surprise: "This is the calligraphy of the second brother, did he make it?"

As she spoke, she looked inquiringly at Li Ling, who was sitting not far away drinking tea.

Li Ling raised his eyes, cast a helpless look at his sister, and said, "With your taste, you still want to learn how to write poetry like others?"

As soon as the words came out, the third girl also realized that she had made a mistake: how could a cold and serious man like the second brother create such a beautiful boudoir.

She looked at Jingshu again: "Second sister-in-law, did you do this?" Jingshu smiled and nodded: "I did it randomly when I had nothing to do, and it made you laugh."

The third girl looked at Jingshu with admiration: "Second sister-in-law, you are really amazing, you can do everything." After saying that, she pulled Jingshu's sleeve and begged: "Hey, second sister-in-law, please help me compose two songs." Come on, I'll show it to Mr. Liu, he will definitely be satisfied."

Jingshu smiled and said, "How can you let others do this for you?" After that, she picked out a few more poetry books and said, "Take these books back together and think about them more. Only when you have learned them can you be considered competent."

The third girl nodded in agreement, holding the piece of paper with "Ru Meng Ling" written on it in front of Jing Shu's eyes and shaking it: "Then, the second sister-in-law will give this to me."

Jingshu smiled and nodded.

The third girl glanced at her brother while holding the collection of poems, and then said happily: "Then I won't bother you here anymore, and I will go back and learn to write poems."

Jing Shu smiled and sent her to the door. The third girl took Jing Shu's arm and whispered: "Second sister-in-law, I have ordered someone to tell Xia Cai, the girl in the fourth brother's yard, so that she does not have to pay attention to his every move in the future. If you move, you don’t have to tell me anymore.”

Jing Shu felt warm in her heart, put her arms around her small shoulders, and replied gently: "What a good child."

The third girl looked up at Jingshu and smiled slightly.

Hearing the third girl mentioning the fourth master Li Yu again, Jingshu thought of the thin and bookish young man. She returned to the main room and asked Li Ling: "I see that the fourth brother is also a scholar, why don't you make accommodations with Mr. Cai? Let him also study in a government school?"

Li Ling put down the tea cup and replied: "I told Cai Lun earlier that it was my fourth brother who didn't want to go."

Hearing what Li Ling said, Jing Shu was surprised at first, but when she thought of the gloominess on the young man's eyebrows, she understood the reason why he did not want to enter the official school.

It must be because of his own status and his youthful self-esteem that he doesn't want to be with those noble disciples.

“The fourth brother is a troubled child.” When Li Yu was mentioned, Li Ling also had a sad look on his face.

Li Ling sighed: "The fourth brother is extremely intelligent, but he is paranoid. Even he has a grudge against his father. As the elder brother, I don't know how to guide him. I only hope that he can figure it out when he grows up. Be happy."

Jingshu nodded and asked, "My third brother has been in the army for more than half a year. How is he doing now?"

Li Ling replied: "There has been some progress, but it is still immature."

Jingshu said: "The third brother is only fourteen or fifteen years old. He is still a child. You should not rush into anything."

Li Ling smiled and said: "You are still a child at the age of fourteen or five? When I was this old, I followed General Zhou into battle to kill the enemy."

Jing Shu teased: "Who can compare with you? Today in the official school, Mr. Cai praised you for your academic performance." After saying that, Jing Shu stood up and walked around behind him, and put her arms around his broad shoulders. On his shoulder, she put her face close to his ear and said, "My husband is a master of both civil and military skills. No other man can compare with me."

It was the first time that Li Ling heard his wife praise him so much. Although it seemed like teasing and flattering, he felt indescribably relieved after hearing it.

 He put his big hand on his wife's bare hand, turned his head and smiled and replied: "Only a daughter of the Shen family can match such a good son."
