Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 72 I feel very satisfied

After the lively reunion dinner, everyone went back to their own courtyards to watch the New Year.

 Xu Wanning and Li Xian lived in Xiyuan, which was the farthest away from the banquet hall. It was already late at night. Sister Zhuang couldn't bear the sleepiness and fell asleep on Xu Wanning's shoulder. The ground was slippery with ice and snow. Li Xian was worried that his son would fall, so he also picked up Brother Kun. The two of them held the child in their arms and walked back in a dull manner, one behind the other.

After entering Xiyuan, they first passed Mei Niang’s Chenxi Pavilion. Xu Wanning, who was walking in front, stopped and gestured to the wet nurse following her to bring her son over.

The wet nurse stepped forward, but Brother Kun stayed in Li Xian's arms and shouted, "Daddy is strong, I want daddy to hold him."

Brother Kun will be four years old after this year, and he was born strong. The wet nurse has already struggled to hold him, and he is not as comfortable as his father's firm embrace.

 Seeing that the child was not looking for her, the wet nurse looked at Xu Wanning in embarrassment.

Li Xian said: "Let's go, I will take my brother back." As he said, he weighed the son in his arms and said with a smile: "My son is one year older, and now he is even heavier."

 Brother Kun giggled happily in his father's arms.

Seeing this, Xu Wanning stopped insisting, turned around and continued walking back with her daughter in her arms.

 Back at Bitangju, Xu Wanning first took her daughter to the Baosha where she lived with her wet nurse, while Li Xian took his son directly to the main room.

 Xu Wanning settled her daughter and returned to the main room. When she saw Li Xian was playing football with his son outside, he asked with a cold face: "Why don't you leave?"

Li Xian raised his eyes and glanced at her. He didn't say anything. Instead, he picked up the ball and looked at his son with a smile: "Let's go and eat the fruit."

Kun Ge took his father and ran into the inner room happily, singing a folk song: "Two years in one night, two years in the fifth watch. If you eat the happy fruit, the next year will be even better."

Li Xian picked out three wedding cakes from the Wufu fruit plate on the table, put one in his son's hand, and then took out another one and put it in his other hand. He and his son nuzzled at Xu Wanning, indicating to his son that he would Send the happy fruit to his mother.

Brother Kun ran to Xu Wanning, raised the fruit high, and shouted: "Mom, eat the wedding cake."

Xu Wanning bent down and bit the wedding cake sent by her son. She stood up and touched her son's head and said with a smile, "It's already very late. Mom, let me send you to bed."

Brother Kun shook his head and ran to Li Xian again: "I won't sleep. I want to stay up late with my parents."

Seeing that Xu Wanning still wanted him to go to sleep, Brother Kun hugged Li Xian's thigh and begged: "Dad, I won't sleep, I want to stay up with you."

Li Xian raised his son high and replied with a smile: "Okay, let's not sleep. Brother Kun will watch the New Year with his parents."

 Brother Kun was lifted up high by his father, giggling happily.

After being allowed to watch the New Year's Eve, Kun'er happily sat at the table and counted the happy fruits, while Li Xian looked at his son with a smile.

 But he was still a child after all, and he kept yelling that he wouldn't sleep. After a while, he couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep on the table.

Li Xian put his son on the bed and said to Xu Wanning: "It's cold outside. Don't carry him back. Just let her sleep here."

Although Xu Wanning didn't answer, she agreed with Li Xian's suggestion. She stepped forward and covered her son with a quilt, and said calmly without raising her head: "Let's go, we are going to sleep."

Li Xian took the opportunity to put his arm around her shoulders and said with a smile: "You're celebrating the New Year, do you still want to be awkward with me?"

Xu Wanning rolled her eyes at him and sneered: "Could it be that after the New Year and being one year older, I will be able to make a living?"

Li Xian saw that she was talking with a gun and a stick again, and said patiently: "Okay, okay, this Chinese New Year, we are all doing well."

Xu Wanning pushed him away and went to bed: "Come on, if you are not here, I will be fine."

Li Xian was pushed sideways. He watched Xu Wanning sigh helplessly. After being silent for a while, he walked to the candlestick and extinguished the light, but then turned back and went to bed.

Seeing that he was not leaving, Xu Wanning sat up and said bitterly, "What are you doing?"

Li Xian was already lying down. He pulled the quilt to cover him and replied: "I'll come back to sleep." Xu Wanning stretched out her legs and kicked him: "This is my place. If you want to sleep, go to Chenxi Pavilion and sleep."

Li Xian smiled and said, "This Bitangju was built when my great-grandfather was still alive. Seriously, when did the assets of my Li family become yours?"

Xu Wanning pulled off the quilt on his body, pushed him and said, "Since I married here, it is naturally mine."

Li Xian hugged her and said with a smile: "So, since you are married in, it is also mine."

Xu Wanning pushed him and cursed: "Go away, don't say such nonsense to me here. If you are not ashamed, I am too."

The two of them were bickering here. Brother Kun, who was already asleep, was so noisy that he rolled over while rubbing his eyes.

Li Xian hurriedly hissed: "Stop making noise, and don't wake the child up."

Xu Wanning was naturally worried about her child. She angrily hugged the quilt and went to the bed to lie down next to her son. Li Xian went to get another quilt and lay down next to her son.

The couple slept on the same bed, with their son between them, and slept peacefully together.

 In Qingfeng Garden, the lights are still bright at this moment.

Jingshu returned to the main room and showed Li Ling the Lai Die sent by the **** who announced the decree today. Li Ling opened it and looked at it, then looked at the happy look of his little wife sitting opposite him, and said with a smile: "My husband personally requested this for you from Your Majesty. How do you want to thank me?"

Jingshu picked up a piece of wedding cake on the table and brought it to Li Ling's mouth. Li Ling opened his mouth and ate it. Jingshu asked, "Is it delicious?"

Li Ling nodded, looked at his young wife and asked, "You haven't answered me yet, how can you thank me?"

Jingshu took a bite of the wedding cake and said to him, "I made this wedding cake for you myself."

Li Ling said "Oh", picked up a piece and took another bite. He looked at the little wife in front of him and said slyly: "Is it really the lady who made it for me with her own hands? Didn't she pretend to be someone else's hand?"

Jingshu scolded him: "This happened eight hundred years ago, why are you so stingy and still mentioning it?"

Li Ling finished eating a piece of wedding cake, patted the residue on his hands, and praised: "Madam's craftsmanship is really good."

“Dong dong dong—” I remembered the sound of the clock, followed by the sound of crackling firecrackers.

 The new year has arrived.

Li Ling held Jingshu's hand and stood on the corridor looking up at the gorgeous fireworks blooming in the sky. He murmured and asked: "On this day last year, I was still standing here alone watching the fireworks. Did you know that I What are you thinking about?"

Jingshu looked sideways at him and said jokingly: "A person like my husband must have an ambitious future."

 Li Ling turned around and tugged at her ears: "At this time last year, we had already paid six rites and made an engagement. Didn't you think of me, your future husband?"

Jingshu smiled: "We only met once when we were in such a mess in the water. I didn't even see you clearly. What did I miss you?"

Li Ling gave her an angry look: "Even if you don't remember my appearance, since I saved you, you should still be a little grateful to me at this time."

Jingshu shook her head and replied frankly: "No."

Li Ling gently grabbed her ears again and gritted his teeth and said, "What a heartless little thing."

Jingshu stood up on tiptoes and put her arms around his shoulders, and said to him: "What I was thinking at that time was that I would marry into such a wealthy family in the next year. What would my life be like? Will my husband be like that?" Will you treat me sincerely?"

Li Ling kissed her lips gently and asked, "What do you think of the current situation?"

 “I feel very satisfied.”

Jingshu's eyes were shining brightly, brighter than the fireworks in the sky.
