The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 244 Letter from home

In the Duke's Mansion, the old lady was lying on the soft couch, feeling very lethargic today.

Jing Shu and Murong Lizhu led Brother Kun and Sister Zhuang from outside. When they entered Anxi Hall, the two children happily threw themselves on the couch when they saw their great-grandmother, chatting and laughing with the old lady.

When the old lady saw the children, her depressed mood improved. She quickly called to Jingshu and Murong Lizhu and said, "You two have been working hard these days. Come sit down and have a sip of tea and some snacks."

The two of them sat down under the old lady. Jingshu glanced at the old lady's slightly haggard face and said with concern: "I see that grandma's face doesn't look very good, but is she feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Do you want a doctor to come over and check your pulse?"

The old lady waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's because I haven't slept well in the past two days."

Since Li Ling led his troops to the south, Jing Shu has not been able to sleep well every night. Murong Lizhu glanced at the two of them and said with relief: "I heard from the second sister-in-law that the second cousin wrote a letter two days ago saying that he had arrived in Gunzhou City.

Besides, if everything goes well, there will be news in the next few days."

After listening to Murong Lizhu's words, the old lady nodded slightly.

Jing Shu didn't want the old man to get angry too quickly, so she comforted herself and said: "Gunzhou is our Daqi territory. Although Wang Ren turned his back and joined the Gaoshan Kingdom, the people there are of the same mind. Moreover, since last year, my husband

Then I was ordered to start preparing for the war. Grandma, don’t worry, my husband will win this battle."

Murong Lizhu also comforted the old lady and said: "Sacking a city is not like a confrontation. There is no danger for my second cousin as the coach. My aunt can rest assured."

The old lady smiled and said, "I'm not worried about Brother Ling. This kid has been going into battle since he was fourteen years old. He has gained experience over the years. He is a safe person and will surely be able to return safely and triumphantly."

The old lady rubbed her eyebrows, sighed slightly and said: "I don't know why, I have been dreaming about your eldest brother and sister-in-law these days. Last night, I dreamed that your eldest brother came back covered in water. My heart was pounding all night long.

I can’t sleep peacefully either.”

After getting along for a while, Jingshu really liked Murong Lizhu, her cousin. When the two of them left Anxi Hall, Jingshu invited her and said, "The betrothal gift has been decided. Now I can breathe a sigh of relief."

Okay, it's still early, so you can go sit at my place."

Jing Shu smiled and replied: "There are so many things going on in the house these days. Thanks to you helping me take care of them, I should have invited you to my place for tea a long time ago."

The old lady looked at her grandniece, smiled and joked: "When your sister-in-law comes back, I have to ask her to make it up to you."

The old lady touched her great-grandson's head and said with a smile: "Silly boy, even if you want to be a general, you have to read well. Your second uncle was good at reading when he was a child. He was often praised by his husband. Only by being good at literature and martial arts can he be successful."

General."

Jing Shu took the letter and looked at Li Ling's powerful font on the envelope, and felt a lot more at ease.

Li Ling was away at war, and Jingshu was looking forward to his letter home as much as she could the stars and the moon. When she heard it was a letter from Li Ling, Jingshu subconsciously stepped up to greet it: "Is it really your husband's letter home?"

The old lady took the gift list, read it carefully page by page, and said with satisfaction: "You are very thoughtful, there is nothing to change, just stick to this and make the offer."

Murong Lizhu echoed: "In a few days, I will receive a safe letter from my eldest cousin and the others. Just relax, my aunt."

Jingshu felt better when she saw the old lady joking with the children, so she got down to business.

This Murong Lizhu is not like the cousins ​​who came to the house before, who always like to sneak into other people's yards. She has been in the house for so long, except for the third girl's yard, she has never set foot in any other yard, but she is a real person.

A person who knows the importance of things.

Jingshu counted with her fingers and murmured: "Counting the days, brother and the others will have to cross Huaiyin in the next few days. It is estimated that they will reach Jiangdong in three to five days."

Brother Kun pouted after hearing the old lady's praise: "Great-grandmother, I want to be a general like my second uncle when I grow up."

The old lady hugged Brother Kun beside her again and asked, "Do you miss your parents?"

After hearing what the adults said, Sister Zhuang got into the old lady's arms and said, "Great-grandmother, I miss my parents."

Brother Zhuang blinked. Although he seemed to understand what his great-grandmother said, he still nodded.

Jing Shu smiled, looked at Murong Lizhu on the side and said: "Although my sister-in-law is not here, cousin Lizhu has been helping me, so she has shared a lot of burdens for me."

The old lady touched Sister Zhuang's head and said comfortingly: "Sister, be good, your parents will be back in a while."

When the old lady heard this, a smile finally appeared on her face, and she said happily: "She is quite good at reading."

With that said, the old lady handed the employment order to Jing Shu again, and said distressedly: "Your sister-in-law is not around these days, so you are busy all by yourself inside and outside, but thank you for the hard work."

Li Ling was not at home either, so Jingshu invited her, and Murong Lizhu happily agreed: "If you don't disturb your cousin, I won't be polite."

Murong Lizhu smiled and said: "I have nothing to do, but I am just helping my second sister-in-law."

After listening to the old lady's words, Murong Lizhu comforted her softly: "It's spring now, and there are no storms and waves in the canal. Even though the Huaiyin area is not very peaceful, my uncle will also order people to help my eldest cousin and the others. There won't be any

What’s the matter?”

Danzhu held the letter in his hand to Jingshu and said happily: "This is what my uncle wrote to you. It was just delivered by the post office."

Everyone was amused by Brother Zhuang's appearance, and Jing Shu said, "Brother is becoming more and more sensible now. Teachers in government schools and family schools often praise him for being smart and motivated."

Brother Kun looked like a grown-up and said cheerfully: "I miss my parents too, but I won't cry. I promised my parents to take care of my sister when they left."

She took the betrothal gift list that had been prepared to be sent to Prince Yong's Mansion, handed it to the old lady and said, "Grandma, do you think there is anything else that needs to be added or subtracted from this betrothal gift?"

The two were walking towards Qingfeng Garden when Danzhu rushed up to them. The little girl was running out of breath. Before she got close, she puffed up her face and shouted: "Miss, there is a letter from my uncle!"

Glancing at Murong Lizhu's faint smile, Jing Shu also realized her gaffe. She quickly adjusted her mood and pretended to be calm and said to Danzhu: "It's just a letter from home, why rush to deliver it."

Danzhu glanced at Jingshu trying to remain calm and stood aside, covering her mouth and laughing quietly.

Murong Lizhu came over and smiled and joked: "It seems that today is not a good time for me to visit my cousin-in-law. Let's make an appointment another day."

Jing Shu gave Murong Lizhu an angry look: "Didn't you agree to go and sit at my place?"

"Sister-in-law, it's better to go back and read cousin's family letters first." With a teasing smile on her face, Murong Lizhu turned around and walked slowly towards her yard.
