Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 91 Three years ago on the Lantern Festival, I met a beautiful woman

Jingshu took Li Ling to the Fuyun Restaurant, which was the tallest building on Chang'an Street. Sitting upstairs and leaning on the railing, she had a panoramic view of the brightly lit street.

The two of them asked for a seat with the best seat and sat down. The waiter who ran around diligently presented the menu.

Jingshu took the menu and ordered a few flavored side dishes, two bowls of dumplings and a pot of wine.

After a while, the food and wine were served hot. Jingshu picked up the chopsticks, took a sip, and praised: "It tastes good."

Seeing that Li Ling, who was sitting across from him, was gloomy all the time, Jingshu took a bite and put it in his bowl: "What? It's just a meal of food and drinks, you really can't afford to lose?"

Hearing this, Li Ling took out the lantern riddle banner from his sleeve pocket and said disdainfully: "These fancy things are just to coax those who are too busy. Will I take it to heart?"

Obviously, when she was just guessing the lantern riddles with her, she was still a cheerful look. Now she said that she turned her face and turned her face.

Jingshu asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Who provoked you again?"

Li Ling picked up the jug and poured a cup for Jingshu, then poured a cup for himself. He snorted and said, "Who else can be there besides the one named Liu?"

Jingshu glanced at her husband and replied: "Mr. Liu has not provoked you, why do you always have trouble with him?"

Li Ling suddenly raised his head and replied coldly: "Don't you think this offended me?" Seeing his wife's stunned expression, Li Ling was worried that his gaffe had frightened her, so he suppressed his anger and softened his tone and continued: "He Can’t you see that I’m so passionate about you?”

Li Ling is now jealous of Liu Yunzhi again.

Jingshu glanced at her childish husband and couldn't help but smile and said, "Why are you so stingy? Why is Mr. Liu so enthusiastic about me? We have only met a few times. You are overthinking it."

Li Ling replied with a cold face: "In short, you are not allowed to see him again in the future."

 This is really unreasonable.

Jingshu replied: "Wherever I have seen him on my own initiative, it's just by chance."

Li Ling retorted: "Then wasn't he the one who came to the door last time?"

"If he dares to come to the door again from now on, I will order someone to beat him out." As he said, he warned his wife: "Especially since I am going out now, if he comes to the door shamelessly, you are not allowed to let him in. You’re not even allowed to see him.”

Jingshu's almond-shaped eyes moved slightly: "Then I can't promise you. I can't stay away all day. Just like today, we bumped into each other while walking."

He tilted his head towards Li Ling and continued: "Besides, if it's as you said, Mr. Liu comes to visit again, I can't do anything to turn people away without any reason. Even if I want to do this, they are three times. My younger sister admires my mentor, and even my third younger sister can’t agree.”

Jingshu smiled and said to Li Ling: "So, I really can't guarantee that you won't see Mr. Liu while you are away from home."

Li Ling's face turned red with shock, his eyebrows raised, he glared at Jing Shu and said, "How dare you!"

Jingshu saw that Li Ling was really annoyed. She stood up slowly, sat down next to him, and said slyly: "If my husband doesn't want me to see Mr. Liu, there is nothing I can do."

 Li Ling asked: "What can I do?"

Jingshu replied: "Then you take me with you when you go to Nanjun. This way, I won't meet anyone my husband doesn't like."

Hearing this, Li Ling looked at his cunning little wife and said, "You haven't stopped thinking about it yet?"

Jingshu held Li Ling's sleeves and said coquettishly, "Just take me with you, okay?"

Li Ling still said the same thing: "No, if you say you can't take her with you, you can't take her with you." Seeing his wife's disappointed look, he held her in his arms and said, "I've told you the truth countless times, no more nonsense. "

Jingshu pouted her face and said angrily: "You have been away for so long, are you really not afraid that I will be taken away by Zhang Yunzhi or Wang Yunzhi?"

Li Ling was angry at his little wife in his arms: "How dare you mention him?"

"If you dare to see him again, I will drive him out of Chang'an City." Just as he was talking, the waiter knocked on the door, holding the biggest prize at the lantern festival in his hand, and the crystal lotus lantern entered the private room. , smiled and said: "Two distinguished guests, a gentleman named Liu just came over and asked me to hand over this lotus lantern to Mrs. Shen."

As he said that, he looked at Jing Shu: "Are you Mrs. Shen?"

Jingshu looked surprised and replied: "I am indeed Mrs. Shen." She pointed to the lotus lantern held in the waiter's hand: "This lantern."

Without waiting for Jingshu to finish speaking, the wanderer smiled and said: "This is the biggest prize during the Lantern Festival every year. You have to guess ninety-nine lantern riddles correctly. Last year, the best one could only guess more than sixty." It’s a lantern riddle, so during last year’s Lantern Festival, the ‘lantern chief’ was not found, and the lantern was not taken away.”

The waiter looked at the lamp in his hand and continued with a look of reverence: "This year has been great. The famous Jiangnan talent Liu Yunzhi came to the capital, and the lamp was taken away by him." As he said, he would wait. He placed it in front of Jing Shu and said, "Mr. Liu gave this lantern to Madam again. This lotus lantern is meant to ensure peace. It is fitting that Madam is destined to have this lamp."

Jingshu smiled awkwardly and said to the waiter, "Thank you."

Li Ling sat on the chair without saying a word, his face was shockingly cold, and he looked like he was really angry.

Jingshu looked at Li Ling and hesitated: "I will send this lamp back to Mr. Liu tomorrow."

 “I won’t accept it.”

Li Ling stood up and said coldly: "He is really a frivolous person who doesn't know the heights of the world."

With that said, he took the lamp and walked to the window.

Jingshu guessed that this guy was going to throw the lamp down. The lamp was indeed a first-class gift. It was exquisitely crafted, beautiful, and very beautiful and exquisite. She liked it very much.

It is a pity to see him being ruthlessly destroyed by Li Ling. But when Jing Shu glanced at Li Ling's cold face, she felt a little embarrassed and didn't dare to stop him.

Liu Yunzhi was indeed more attentive. How could she tolerate someone as proud as Li Ling? She was really worried that if she blocked the lamp, Liu Yunzhi would really be driven out of the capital by the patrolmen tomorrow.

Li Ling took the lamp and walked to the window, leaned on the railing and looked down. Among the bustling crowd downstairs, he immediately saw Liu Yunzhi walking from Fuyun Tower to the street.

What a coincidence!

 Li Ling threw the crystal lamp in his hand towards him without thinking.

 He was worthy of being a general who could cross the Yangtze River at a hundred steps. The crystal lotus lamp just brushed the tip of Liu Yunzhi's nose, and landed firmly at his feet with a "snap" and shattered to pieces.

The lamp was made of solid crystal and had a heavy head. If it were tilted even a little further, Liu Yunzhi's blood would be splashed on the spot, and even if he was not killed, he would be maimed.

Li Ling just wanted to teach him a lesson.

Liu Yunzhi was startled by this sudden turn of events and sweat broke out on his forehead. He looked up in fear and saw the angry eyes of the man leaning over the railing on top of the tall building.

When Li Ling sat down again, her face had softened. She glanced at the young wife opposite and looked at the young men and women walking hand in hand on Chang'an Street. Under the bright lights, those pairs of beautiful figures can always arouse people's hearts.

Li Ling said leisurely: "The Lantern Festival is indeed a good day."

He looked at his wife with a slight smile on his face: "Three years ago, it was also the Lantern Festival, and I met a beautiful little woman on Chang'an Street."

Jingshu put down the jade chopsticks in her hand, looked at her husband seriously, and rolled her eyes at him: "I didn't expect you to have such a past."

She stared at him and asked: "What is so beautiful about that woman that you still can't forget her."

Li Ling replied: "Anyway, he is just a beautiful person."
