Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 99 Returning to Jingshu’s parents’ home

Before going to Nanjun, Li Lingjingshu not only went to Princess Mansion to say goodbye to her mother, but also went back to Shen Mansion.

Although Jingshu’s mother passed away many years ago, Shen De’an has always maintained close ties with Jingshu’s maternal clan.

 A few years ago, when the road was open, Father Shen would go back to visit his father-in-law and his family almost every year.

It was rare for Jingshu to go back with Li Ling this time, so she naturally wanted to tell her father.

At the family banquet of Shen Mansion, when Shen De'an heard that his eldest daughter was going to follow his son-in-law back to Chaozhou, he was also worried. After the five cities of Gunzhou were lost, this journey would be very difficult.

Although Father Shen also thought about his father-in-law's family, he was still worried about his eldest daughter's long journey. He couldn't help but persuade him: "Why don't you let Bo Yue pass by Chaozhou to visit your grandfather's family on your behalf? You go with me, as your father is worried." , this journey is very difficult.”

Before Jing Shu could speak, Li Ling agreed with his father-in-law and said, "I tried to persuade her the same way, but Shu'er didn't listen."

Jingshu finally persuaded Li Ling to get this opportunity, but she didn't expect her father to block it just like Li Ling. She lightly kicked Li Ling under the table to signal him to shut up.

Li Ling caught a glimpse of his wife's glare and said nothing, but Father Shen still advised him: "It's difficult to travel on the road, and it's cold now, so you'd better not follow."

Although Li Ling agreed with his father-in-law's words, he did not dare to say anything due to his wife's power. He only glanced at Father Shen to express his approval of his father-in-law's decision to become famous.

　　Until he caught a glimpse of the knife his wife handed him again, Li Ling shut up angrily, not daring to make any more small moves.

Jingshu replied to her father: "Don't worry, Dad, I will be careful. Besides, my husband is here and he will take good care of me."

 Speaking, Jing Shu glanced at Li Ling again, her sharp little eyes forcing him to express his stance.

Li Ling had no choice but to agree with him and said, "My son-in-law will take good care of Shu'er. Father-in-law doesn't have to worry, just let her follow."

Before Shen's father could speak, Shen Xing said at the side: "Since my brother-in-law is here, he will be able to protect my eldest sister. Father doesn't have to worry too much."

Father Shen replied: "I'm just afraid that the road will be difficult and your brother-in-law won't be able to take care of me. I'm also worried that I'm dragging down your brother-in-law."

Shen Xing smiled and said, "My brother-in-law is a great general who can protect all the people in the world. Why can't he protect an eldest sister? Father, don't worry."

Shen Jingxuan on the side knocked her younger brother on the head and said with a smile to the big guy: "My brother-in-law just came in and quietly gave this boy a big red envelope. After looking at it, he finally coaxed him and wiped his mouth with honey." Similar."

Jingshu didn't know about Li Ling giving her brother a red envelope. After hearing what her third sister said, she couldn't help but look at Li Ling.

Hearing this, Shen Jinglan also looked at Li Ling and joked with a smile: "Brother-in-law is really partial, we are both younger siblings, why only give it to Xing'er and not to us." After saying that, she stretched out her hand towards Li Ling through her eldest sister. Go and shout, "I want it too, I want it too."

When her younger brother took the red envelope from her brother-in-law, Shen Jingxuan took a look at it quietly. It was a thousand taels of silver. How could someone not be jealous of such a generous offer?

Although Shen Jingxuan also coveted her brother's red envelope, she was a little jealous of this cold brother-in-law. She didn't dare to make trouble with her second sister. She only looked at her brother-in-law eagerly, hoping to have a ride with her second sister. car.

Faced with Shen Jinglan's coquettishness, Li Ling just smiled faintly and replied: "Just go with your sister, she will take care of the money."

Seeing Li Ling's indifferent expression, Shen Jinglan retracted her hand knowingly. Taking advantage of the gap, she quietly leaned into the eldest sister's ear and said, "Am I annoying my brother-in-law?"

Jingshu knew that her second sister was used to being lively, so she didn't blame her. She patted her sister's hand and comforted her: "Your brother-in-law is cold-tempered and doesn't like to play. It's not because of you. Don't worry about it."

Shen Jinglan breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Li Ling and said, "That's good. I thought my brother-in-law was angry with me?"

After this year, Shen Jinglan turned sixteen. Seeing that his second daughter was still rude, Father Shen said angrily: "You are so old, how can you be so rude?"

Mrs. Bai advised from the side: "My uncle is not an outsider, we are all a family member. Why should I keep Lan'er under restraint?"

After hearing what her mother said, Shen Jinglan muttered, "That's right, my brother-in-law is not an outsider."

Seeing that her parents and sister were unhappy, Jingshu quickly changed the subject and said, "Did you go to enjoy the lanterns during the Lantern Festival the day before yesterday?"

Shen Jingxuan replied cheerfully: "Of course I went. Except for my father who doesn't like the excitement, my mother, my second sister, and Xing'er all went."

Shen Xing continued: "This year is a bit more interesting than last year. At least the crystal lotus lantern was taken away by someone. Unlike last year, when there was a sea of ​​people, no one could win the jackpot."

Speaking of the Shangyuan Festival last year, Shen Jinglan looked at Jingshu aside and said, "Sister, do you still remember what happened on the Shangyuan Festival three years ago?" "The Shangyuan Festival three years ago?" Jingshu turned her head in confusion. Said: "What's new?"

Shen Jinglan quietly pointed at Li Ling beside her eldest sister, and said in Jingshu's ear: "We met my brother-in-law that year, don't you remember?"

Although Shen Jinglan's voice was soft, Li Ling was very sensitive. After hearing this, she turned her head and looked at her wife.

 Look at you! Even your sister remembers this, but you have forgotten all about it.

Jingshu smiled placatingly at Li Ling, picked up the wine bottle, and filled the wine for him: "Husband, drink and drink."

Before the two left, Mrs. Wang brought two jars of fragrant tea and said to Jingshu: "Miss, I asked someone to bring these from my hometown years ago. I know you like to drink this, so I gave you special instructions." Saved for you."

Jingshu took the tea and said with a smile: "Thank you, father and mother, for remembering that I like to drink this."

On the way back, when Jingshu learned that Li Ling had given her brother a thousand taels of silver notes, she was surprised and said, "Jiajia, why did you give him so much money?"

Li Ling replied: "Now that Xing'er has gone to official school, he is surrounded by children of noble families. It would be good to have more money in his pocket."

Jingshu retorted: "What's the point of comparing this? It's serious to be knowledgeable."

 It is naturally important to be well educated, but children also have self-esteem. If you see that the classmates around you are spending money like water, but you are the only one who has little money, it will inevitably hurt your self-esteem.

  Can a man’s self-esteem be hurt?

 Li Ling did not refute his wife, but replied carelessly: "You should stay out of the business of the gentlemen."

Jingshu saw that he was making a manly mistake again, so she went up and pinched his ears hard, gritted her teeth and said, "If I don't care about you for three days, you will go to the house and unveil the tiles, right?"

Li Ling protected his ears and said unyieldingly: "Don't be so arrogant with me at all times. Let's see how I deal with you when I get back."

Jingshu let him go, glanced angrily, and complained: "You wrapped so many banknotes for Xing'er and didn't even tell me. You also have two younger sisters, which makes me so passive."

Li Ling glanced at his wife and said, "During the first month of the year, don't you know you should prepare red envelopes for them?"

Jingshu sighed and replied: "I'm prepared, but compared with what you gave to your brother, it seems a bit short."

Li Ling asked: "How much did you pack for them?"

Jingshu held out five fingers towards Li Ling. Li Ling looked at her and guessed: "Five hundred taels?"

Jingshu said leisurely: "It's five taels."

Li Ling was surprised and said: "As a sister, you are really stingy."

Comparing five taels with one thousand taels, Li Ling couldn't imagine how big the gap would be after the two wives and sisters opened the red envelopes.

Jingshu explained: "Before I left the cabinet, my father would only give us this much during the Chinese New Year. I just followed my old practice."

Five taels of silver is enough for an official family like Shen Mansion to feed and drink for half a month. In fact, it is already quite a lot.

She glanced at Li Ling and said angrily: "We, from a small family, are really no match for a noble man like you."

Li Ling took his wife in his arms and said jokingly: "It's good that you have this awareness. So, you must behave well in front of me from now on."

　　"It's better to be like you did when you first got married, to be in front of me all day long and serve me comfortably."

After hearing this, Jingshu couldn't help but go up and pinch Li Ling's ears hard.
