The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 185 A wife is a man’s taste

Li Ling clumsily tied the big red flower on Jingshu's temple. For a beautiful woman like Jingshu, even the extremely gaudy flowers on the hairpin had a unique charm.

It's not that the flower complements her, but her beauty complements the originally gaudy flower, giving it a kind of national beauty and heavenly fragrance.

Li Ling smiled with satisfaction and said: "Madam is beautiful, and the flowers on the hairpin are even more beautiful as if they were immortals."

Jing Shu looked in the rhombus mirror, glanced at the huge silk flower on her temples, and said with a wry smile: "It's not that I'm beautiful, but that my husband's flower is beautiful."

When Li Ling saw that his wife liked it, his heart blossomed with joy. He picked up another purple silk flower, walked to his wife, and said seriously: "Why don't you put another one here?"

With that said, he tied the purple silk flower on the other side of Jingshu's temple.

Jing Shu looked at herself in the mirror with her hairpins full of flowers, and she really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

However, Li Ling was very satisfied and said repeatedly: "My wife is really the most beautiful person in the country."

Jingshu didn't know how to respond other than a forced smile. She said humbly: "My husband is really ridiculous. It's your flowers that add color to my body."

Li Ling smiled brightly: "Madam, just wear it if you like it."

Anyway, it was just the two of them in the house. Jingshu smiled and replied: "This flower is so beautiful, how can I be willing to pick it off."

Li Ling said: "I know you like the gadgets in the antique shop on West Street. I came back early today just to take you shopping there."

With that said, Li Ling took his wife's mink velvet cloak and said, "Let's go, let's go now."

When Jingshu heard that Li Ling was going to take her out, she hurriedly went to pick the silk flowers on her head. Li Ling stopped her and said, "Pick it off properly. It looks great wearing it like this."

Jingshu smiled bitterly and said: "Since I have to go out, one hairpin is enough. Two hairpins will be worn later. It will be cold when I come back at night and I can't wear a hood."

After hearing what Jing Shu said, Li Ling gave up. He stretched out his hand and gently picked off the purple silk flower on his wife's temples. He still said regretfully: "Winter is really bad. You have to wear a hood. If it's summer,

On that day, my wife can wear the hairpin as she pleases."

Ziyun, who was arranging dinner in the small kitchen, heard that Li Ling was going to take Jingshu out and quickly came in to listen to the instructions. She saw the silk flower on Jingshu's temples and was surprised: "Miss, where did you get this silk flower?"

It looks lovely.”

Halfway through Ziyun's words, she caught a glimpse of the look Jingshu gave her. Because she had just told Li Ling about Jingshu's preferences yesterday, Ziyun immediately realized that her uncle should have bought these flowers, and she quickly stopped talking.

, smiled awkwardly and said: "My slave is talking about this flower. This flower is different from the flowers you usually wear."

Jing Shu blinked at Ziyun, deliberately showing a satisfied look, and replied: "My husband just bought this from outside. Of course you have never seen me wearing it before."

Ziyun quickly echoed: "Seriously, it looks strange. You are wearing this flower, it's really pretty."

There was a tacit understanding between the master and the servant. Li Ling was so immersed in the joy of pleasing his wife that he was naturally unaware of the mystery behind it. Seeing that Ziyun also praised her beauty, his face became even more proud.

Ziyun glanced at Li Ling's proud look and secretly regretted telling him about his girl's preferences yesterday.

It's thanks to my young lady's good looks that she always looks good no matter how she dresses up. If she were a little less beautiful, she would be completely ruined by wearing this silk flower handpicked by my uncle.

The two of them arrived at West Street in a carriage. Li Ling ordered the driver to stop the carriage. He helped Jingshu get out of the carriage and planned to take her on foot into the alley so that his wife could enter the shop and pick things as she pleased.

Just as Li Ling was about to take Jing Shu away, Cai Lun and his wife happened to come out from Cuiyu Building after selecting jewelry. Li Ling said in greeting, "What a coincidence, I met you and your wife again."

Cai Lun replied: "My wife and I have just finished selecting jewelry."

Li Ling saw his wife here when he was buying silk flowers for Jing Shu. How many hours had passed and Cai Lun had just finished selecting jewelry with his wife?

Li Ling secretly admired Cai Lun's patience.

The two men exchanged greetings, and Jingshu and Mrs. Cai also chatted a few words. The two of them were not familiar with each other, because they were in front of the Jade Tower, and they were talking about clothes and jewelry.

Jing Shu saw Mrs. Cai wearing a brand-new jade peacock hairpin on her head, and greeted her: "Madam, this hairpin is very exquisite. Judging from the craftsmanship, it must have just been bought from this jade shop."

Mrs. Cai glanced at her husband beside her and replied with a smile: "Madam, you have good eyesight. My husband just chose this for me upstairs."

Look at my husband’s aesthetics!

Hearing what Mrs. Cai said, Jing Shu remembered that she was still wearing the ugly silk tweed that Li Ling had chosen for her, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Cai asked Jingshu: "My husband and I just saw General Li come to choose jewelry. I wonder what the general chose for his wife?"

It was originally a greeting between two people who didn't know each other very well. Mrs. Cai had no intention of embarrassing Jingshu, and she didn't know that the silk flower in her hairpin was made by Li Ling.

Jingshu hesitated and really didn't know how to answer, so she just said perfunctorily: "I didn't buy anything, just some commonly used things."

Li Ling felt a little disappointed when he saw Mrs. Cai showing off the hairpin chosen by her husband, but his daughter-in-law didn't mention it. He couldn't help pointing to the hairpin on Jingshu's head and replied: "This silk flower is what I just chose for my wife. Mrs. Cai

Do you think you are worthy of my wife?"

Mrs. Cai met Jingshu for the first time and was always amazed by her beauty, because this person is absolutely beautiful overall, but the flower on her temples is a failure, and her flaws cannot be concealed.

After hearing Li Ling's words, Mrs. Cai looked at the hairpin attentively, and Cai Lun also looked over.

Mrs. Cai covered her mouth slightly, and Cai Lun also smiled slightly.

Jing Shu glanced at the two of them and complemented Li Ling: "My husband is not good at choosing things. It really makes you laugh."

Mrs. Cai said hurriedly: "Madam is beautiful, but it's hard to hide her beauty no matter what she wears."

This is quite true.

Cai Lun, who was standing aside, said angrily to his wife: "Whether the items are chosen well or not is secondary, the most important thing is Bo Yue's wishes."

After everyone said goodbye, Mrs. Cai shook her head and murmured: "General Li's wife's beauty is indeed well-deserved. Even with such a gaudy flower in her hair, no one can tell there is anything wrong with her."

As she said that, she looked at Cai Lun and said with a smile: "Do military attachés like General Li have no sense of aesthetics?"

Cai Lun gently tapped the palm of his hand with the jade bone fan and said back to his wife: "Who said he has no aesthetic sense? If he doesn't know beauty, how could he marry such a beautiful wife."

"A wife can best explain a man's aesthetic taste."

Li Ling, who was praised by Cai Lun for his taste, felt unhappy at the moment. After walking away, he asked Jing Shu: "What did Cai Lun and his wife mean just now? Do you think the silk flowers I chose for you don't look good?"
