The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 141 Li Ling’s Gift

As Ziyun's scissors cut open the thick package layer by layer, when they saw what was inside, both the master and the servant were dumbfounded.

Inside the large buns wrapped in layers were all kinds of food, including various candies wrapped in oil paper, different styles of snacks in boxes, and countless other kinds that they had never seen before, let alone incomprehensible.

A snack with your name on it.

There is so much that I might not be able to finish it in half a year.

Ziyun You was unwilling to toss the large stuffed bun over and over, and kept mumbling: "Such a big stuffed bun is all for food? Isn't there anything else?"

Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief, stopped Ziyun and said, "It seems they are all for food."

The master and servant looked at each other helplessly for a long time, and Ziyun couldn't help complaining: "There are so many business travelers from Gaoshan Country in Nanjun, even if you bring back two pieces of jewelry, it will open our eyes.

OK."

"This uncle is really boring!"

Ziyun was complaining here, and Li Ling stepped into the house.

Ziyun's defiance of Li Ling has nothing to do with the length of time she followed Jing Shu into the Duke's Mansion and had contact with Li Ling. This kind of defiance was caused by an ordinary little woman confronting a man with high authority and dignity.

That kind of timidity that comes from the heart.

As soon as she finished complaining, Li Ling came in. Her unabashed words to her young lady in private were probably overheard by her uncle. Ziyun was so frightened that her face turned pale and she just looked at Jingshu.

Jing Shu naturally knew that the girls around her were jealous of Li Ling. She gave Ziyun a "no problem" look to comfort her, and whispered: "You go down and do your work first."

Ziyun quickly lowered her lapels and lowered her hands, not daring to look at Li Ling, and retreated dejectedly.

There were only the couple left in the room. Li Ling walked up to his wife, glanced at the pile of food on the table, and said to her: "Listen to this girl, you don't like these gifts I brought back?"

Jing Shu smiled and replied: "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that there are a lot of business travelers in Nanjun. Ziyun and I thought you would bring back some Zhu Chai jewelry, but we didn't expect that all you brought back was food.

"

The little girl Ziyun was worried about offending Li Ling with her unobtrusive words, but naturally a grown man like Li Ling would not take the words of a little girl to heart.

Seeing that the gift his wife was looking forward to was pearls and hairpins, he replied calmly: "I also know that your daughter's family likes those pretty things, but I am a grown man and I am too embarrassed to buy these things."

Jingshu guessed that Li Ling couldn't spare his body to buy such things.

She smiled and said, "It's okay. I have so much jewelry that I can never run out of it. I also like these little snacks."

When Li Ling heard what his wife said, he felt a little more submissive. She picked out a small snack from the mountain-like pile of food, opened the oil paper, picked out one and stuffed it into his wife's mouth: "I know you love sweets, this is mine.

I saw Tete buying it for you when I was patrolling the city in Nanjun. Try it, it's very sweet."

Jingshu chewed it twice. It was not very sweet, it was so sweet that it hit her throat.

Naturally, she couldn't dislike the food that Baba brought back for her. Jingshu looked extremely satisfied and praised: "It's really sweet. I really like it."

Seeing that his wife liked them, Li Ling showed a look of joy on his angular face. He hurriedly picked up two more pills, held them up to her mouth, and said like a treasure: "If you like them, eat more."

Just after she ate one piece, her throat started to smoke. Seeing Li Ling bring two more pieces, Jingshu couldn't help but frown.

Li Ling asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Jingshu had no choice but to open her mouth and bite into the sweet food her husband brought to her mouth. She suppressed the sweetness in her throat, forced out a smile, and said to him: "It's nothing, this little snack.

It’s really, really delicious.”

Li Ling simply held the bag of small sweets to his wife and said the same thing as before: "If you like it, just eat more."

Jing Shu glanced at the bulging little sweets and really couldn't laugh anymore.

Fortunately, Ziyun placed breakfast outside. Jingshu quickly said to Li Ling, "Let's eat first. I have to go to my aunt's place later."

Li Ling then put down the bag of small sweets and turned around to head outside.

When he wasn't paying attention, Jing Shu quickly spat out the sweets that he stuffed into his mouth, and quietly threw them together with the package on the table into the trash can under the table, and then hurriedly followed Li Ling.

Go out to eat.

Li Ling was on official business. After finishing his errands in Nanjun, he had to rush back to resume his duties with the Holy Emperor. Naturally, he could not stay in Chaozhou for a long time.

The uncle's family knew that their niece would go back with Li Ling tomorrow, so they were naturally reluctant to part with her. But how could a married daughter live permanently in her parents' family?

Tian couldn't help but shed tears again. She pulled Jingshu and said, "When you go back this time, you still don't know what year or month we will see each other."

Jiang Zhao saw that his wife was her mother-in-law in front of her son-in-law, so he angrily said to her: "Shu'er will naturally come back when I have free time in the future. Why are you crying and wiping away your tears?"

Mrs. Tian sniffed and rolled her eyes at her husband: "Now that the Gunzhou side is all lost, the journey is difficult. How can we come back so easily?"

As she said this, she couldn't help but shed tears.

Seeing his mother's sadness, Jiang Youchen comforted him and said: "Although Gunzhou is lost, it is our Daqi territory and will be recovered sooner or later. Mother, don't be sad. When the road to recover Gunzhou is clear, my cousin can come back at any time. If my cousin has no time, she can come back at any time."

The child can also take his mother to Beijing to visit his cousin and uncle's family."

Jiang Youchen, who was so gentle and gentle, could always say thoughtful words and make people listen to him. After listening to his son's advice, Tian gradually stopped crying and told Li Ling again: "Shu'er is young, so I have to trouble the general to treat her more."

Just take care of it."

Li Ling naturally agreed wholeheartedly, but for a person like him, he couldn't say anything fancy. He only replied solemnly: "Don't worry, aunt, I won't let her be wronged."

Mrs. Tian ordered people to put sumptuous food and wine in the front yard to see off her niece and son-in-law. After dinner, Li Ling took Jing Shu to bid farewell to everyone early and returned to the courtyard where they were staying because they were on their way on the next day.

As soon as the two of them entered the house, the little girl who called outside came in and said, "Jiang Youchen is asking for a meeting outside the yard."

Li Ling hurriedly went out again. Jiang Youchen was standing outside the courtyard waiting. When he saw Li Ling coming out, he stepped forward to greet Li Ling and said with a smile: "The general and his cousin are going back tomorrow. I will give you a gift here."

As he spoke, he put two fingers to his mouth, and with the sound of a whistle, a red-headed and golden falcon dived down from the sky, hovering and landing on Jiang Youchen's arm.

Jiang Youchen raised his hand and stroked the falcon's wings, and said to Li Ling: "It's called 'Golden Winged Slave'. I've been raising it for many years, and I'm giving it to General Li today."

Ordinary falcons are mostly brown or black, but this falcon is red-gold. It has rounded nostrils, a long and sharp beak, long wings and plump feathers. It is the best among falcons.

Even a thousand pieces of gold are hard to find.

Such precious falcons are rare even among the dignitaries in Beijing.

Li Ling hurriedly postponed and said: "This eagle is really valuable, and Li will definitely not be able to accept it."

Jiang Youchen insisted: "The general is taking his cousin to cross the Gobi Desert. The desert is difficult to travel and wild animals often appear. This thing can fly high and see far, and it is very humane. If there is danger, it can alert the general early."

When Jing Shu saw that Li Ling hadn't returned for a long time, she opened the door and went out of the yard to look for him. She saw the "gold-winged slave" hovering on Jiang Youchen's shoulder. She hurriedly hid behind Li Ling, quietly glanced at the falcon and said, "This falcon was that year."

The business traveler from Gaoshan Country whom my cousin rescued, is that the one he gave you?"

Without waiting for Jiang Youchen to reply, the "Golden Winged Slave" flapped his wings and called out "Quack" twice towards Jingshu.

Jing Shu was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Li Ling, clutching Li Ling's clothes tightly, and said in a hurry: "Cousin, watch it quickly, don't let it peck me."

Jiang Youchen replied: "Don't be afraid, cousin, it won't hurt anyone. This thing is very spiritual. It recognized you and was greeting you just now."

He looked at his cousin hiding behind Li Ling and said with a smile: "I will give it to you and General Li so that it can guide you in the desert."
