The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 203 The old lady’s comfort

Jing Shu came to Anxi Hall and Xu Wanning had already arrived.

The old lady has been in good health these days and seems to be in good spirits. When she saw Jingshu, she quickly greeted her and said, "I just heard about the winter hunting. Shu'er has been wronged. Come here and let grandma see."

look."

The granddaughter-in-law suffered this fright and injustice just to protect her granddaughter, so the old lady was naturally grateful.

Jingshu slowly entered the room and sat down under the old lady. She had a warm smile on her face, as if the violent storm yesterday had not happened to her. She said gently to the old lady: "It's all over. I

It's okay. Fortunately, the Holy Spirit didn't punish us. Grandma is in good health, so don't take it to heart."

The old lady sighed and said, "Even if grandma is old and useless, you shouldn't hide everything from me."

Jingshu quickly explained: "We didn't mean to hide it from grandma, it's just that you have been in poor health these days, and we really can't bear to have you get angry in a hurry."

The old lady patted Jingshu's hand and said, "Grandma also knows your filial piety."

He looked at his grandson's daughter-in-law's thin face and said distressedly: "Look at how thin you have become these days."

Jingshu smiled and comforted the old lady and said, "My granddaughter-in-law gained weight a while ago. She should eat less this time. It would be better for a woman to eat less to gain acceptance."

This year, there were a lot of unsatisfactory things for the Duke of Zhenguo. First, there were accidents in the eldest grandson's house one after another, the couple separated, and the grandson became seriously ill and became paralyzed. The younger grandson and his wife have always been very affectionate, but unfortunately, the younger grandson's wife was investigated again.

Out of infertility.

The old lady looked at Xu Wanning, then at Jing Shu, and said earnestly: "You are all still young, how can you have smooth sailing in your life? There are still many days to come, and you have to look forward to everything, you know?

"

Xu Wanning comforted the old man readily and said: "Don't worry, grandma. I am just looking forward every day. Brother Kun has made great progress since he entered the official school. The teachers in the official school always praise him to me. I don't expect anyone else to do it now."

I just hope that my son will be able to make a living."

The old lady smiled and nodded, and said jokingly: "When Brother Kun becomes a Marquis and Prime Minister in the future, just wait and enjoy the blessings."

Xu Wanning smiled and said, "I'll lend you my good advice."

The old lady took Jingshu's hand again and said, "You are still young and your body has not yet grown up. Don't be anxious about everything. Just take good care of yourself."

Although the old lady has never said anything to complain since Jingshu became infertile, this is the first time she has said such heartfelt words of comfort.

Jingshu is not a narrow-minded person. Standing in the old lady's position and position, she can understand the old lady's mood.

Li Ling is the crown prince, and the birth of an heir is not only a matter for the couple, but also for the entire government.

Jing Shu smiled gently and said: "Don't worry, grandma, I will take care of you well. Ever since I married into the family, my elders have loved me and my husband loves me. I look forward to more than anyone else being able to flourish the Li family."

What Jingshu said was true, but when people heard it, they couldn't help but feel pity.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the old lady's eyes became slightly moist, and she sighed in her heart: What a good child, I really can't find anything wrong with him.

Even if she couldn't help the Li family, the old lady couldn't bear to make her life unhappy. She had completely given up her plan to take concubines for Li Ling at this moment.

Xu Wanning said cheerfully: "It doesn't matter even if you can't have children. My Brother Kun and Sister Zhuang have always loved my aunt. From now on, I will just let them recognize you as their godmother. But raising children is a hard job. Don't educate them when the time comes."

Just a few days and you’ll feel bored.”

Xu Wanning's words made the old lady and Jing Shu laugh.

The old lady got to the point and said to her two grandsons-in-law: "This year is the tribute year, and my mother's family in Jiangdong will have people coming over in a while."

The old lady’s natal family is the famous heterosexual vassal king Murong, who lords over the east of the Yangtze River and controls thirty-six counties in five provinces.

They are the most powerful clan among all the vassal kings in Da Qi.

The old lady said: "My mother's family also has a house in Beijing, but no one has lived in it for many years. Although there are many servants and housekeepers to look after it, it is inevitable that it lacks popularity. My body and bones are getting worse every year. It is rare for my mother's family to have three houses.

We only have to go to Beijing once a year, so we want them to live in our house."

Jing Shu replied: "There are many houses in the courtyard of the mansion. It is rare for my uncle's family to come to Beijing once. Naturally, we can be closer to each other by living in our mansion. My sister-in-law and I will tidy up the houses as soon as possible and take care of them so that the guests can live comfortably."

Jingshu is a smart person, and she understands people's hearts well. She understands that she cannot do anything for the Li family. If she wants to stabilize her position, Li Ling's protection is the most important, but it is also inseparable from her own self-reliance.

Except for your biological parents, no one in this world will be willing to treat you well without any reason, regardless of your own interests.

Take the old lady as an example. The reason why she can care about her is because she is good enough and can gain the respect of the old lady.

If she was someone who could not be picked up, or was as narrow-minded and selfish as Mrs. Guo, the old lady would not care about her, and would definitely give Li Ling a concubine to breed heirs, or even worse, simply abandon her.

It's not impossible. Therefore, she will have to work harder in the future to take care of the mansion so that she can gain a better foothold.

What the old lady likes most is this little granddaughter-in-law's meticulousness and good understanding of people's hearts.

In this world, women are not like men who can go out and fight for the world. A woman's world is just one-third of an acre at home. Especially for a wealthy family like theirs, if the hostess of the family does not have extraordinary determination, she will not be able to survive.

I started this family.

The old lady looked at the two grandsons-in-law with a bright smile and said, "I invite you here today because I want to discuss this matter with you."

Xu Wanning said cheerfully: "Since you gave the order, grandma, let's do it with all our heart. My younger siblings are the most attentive and considerate in their work. She is in charge of the overall situation. I will give her a good start and ensure that the Brigadier General and uncle's family are properly entertained."

The old lady nodded and replied: "I just received the letter from over there. As the vassal king, it is impossible for your uncle to come. He ordered your third uncle to take your uncle's two sons and one son with him.

Daughter, and a daughter left by your deceased brother-in-law are here. Counting the accompanying servants, wives and guards, there are about 120 or 30 people."

The respective servants follow their respective masters, and the guards can be placed in the outer courtyard. These are not problems. What needs to be taken care of is the collapse of these masters.

The old lady has been in charge of the family all her life, so of course she knows this. She emphasized to Jingshu: "It's better to say that the others are the orphan girl left by your uncle. She was originally a concubine. As soon as the child was born, her mother

Because the postpartum hemorrhage is gone. Your aunt has never had a child. This child has

He was raised under the knees of your little aunt. Unfortunately, a few years ago, your uncle and aunt met again on the river, and the child became a complete orphan. Now he has been living in the Mu Palace. This child is not comparable to the others.

She is a junior, her life experience is really pitiful, you should pay more attention to everything."

People with such embarrassing status are generally sensitive, so they naturally need to think more about arrangements.

Jingshu agreed: "My granddaughter-in-law understands, grandma can rest assured."

After listening to the old woman's explanation, Jingshu and Xu Wanning had just left Anxi Hall. Jingshu was pulled over by the messenger, and said with a face: "Second Madam, it's good that you came out, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to do it."

Dare to go in and report this."

Seeing her like this, Jing Shu hurriedly asked: "What happened again?"

Grandma replied: "It's not good. The Fourth Master suddenly fainted while studying at home. His breath was weak. He looked like he was in trouble."
