The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 31 Get rich overnight

After the beginning of autumn, the summer heat dissipated and the old lady's illness also improved.

During these days, Jingshu spent most of her time waiting in the Anxi Hall. Seeing that the old lady gradually regained her energy, she felt relieved.

On this day, she had dinner with the old lady at Anxi Hall, and was persuaded by the old lady to come back. The first thing Jing Shu did when she returned to Qingfeng Garden was to call Ziyun to prepare water for bathing.

For several days, she was busy taking care of the old lady, and it had been a long time since she had taken a good bath.

After Jingshu took a comfortable bath and saw that it was still early, she took a few little girls out of the house. They had transplanted some peonies from the flower house a while ago. In the past few days, they had heard Ziyun talking about the little peonies.

The flower buds are already contained, and they must be in full bloom now.

What woman doesn’t love flowers?

Jingshu and the girls planted many flowers and plants in the back yard and often tended to them in her spare time. Due to the old lady's illness, she hadn't visited them in a long time.

As soon as she left the door, she saw Mrs. Chuan leading Aunt Ju who was beside the eldest princess to come towards her.

Jing Shu hurriedly came forward and said with a smile: "When did grandma come here?"

Jingshu had just taken a bath. Her smooth hair was held sideways by a jade hairpin. She was wearing a moon-white soft gauze smoked skirt with orchids printed on it. Her slender waist was tied with Xiangfei-colored skirt straps.

Tingting curls up like a hibiscus flower just emerging from the water.

Even Grandma Ju, who was used to seeing the world, couldn't help but be amazed.

She smiled brightly and said to Jing Shu: "I came to visit the old lady on the order of the princess, and I will give a gift to the lady by the way."

Jingshu replied: "Grandma's body is fine. Grandma should go back and tell her mother so that she doesn't have to worry."

Grandma Ju said: "I just came from Anxi Hall. I drank a cup of tea with the old lady and saw that the old lady is indeed much better."

Jingshu made a gesture of invitation and said, "Sit down in Grandma's room."

Aunt Ju followed Jing Shu into the main room, and Li Ling happened to return. He was a little surprised to see Aunt Ju, and asked: "Mom, come here, but mother has something to say?"

Aunt Ju smiled and said, "It's the princess who has a gift for Madam."

Just now, Grandma Ju mentioned outside that it was her mother-in-law who wanted to give her a gift, but Jingshu didn't take it too seriously. Since she married into the Zhenguo Duke's mansion, the old lady has also showered her with various jewelry and silk satins every now and then. The eldest princess

Since they don't live in the mansion, they don't get along with each other much, so they haven't rewarded her with anything. It's not unusual to ask Aunt Ju to come over and reward her with a few things today.

After all, not to mention the high-ranking gentry, but also ordinary people's homes, the mother-in-law will give some bottom-of-the-line items to the daughter-in-law when she comes into the house.

Aunt Ju took out a few deeds from the box she brought with her, held them to Jingshu, and said, "Last time my wife went to Luyuan, the princess saw that you liked the garden, so she ordered the supervisor to transfer the garden to your name.

"

What? Mother-in-law is giving her the Luyuan?

Not only Jing Shu was surprised, but Li Ling was also surprised.

Although his mother, who was a princess, was extremely wealthy and had numerous estates and estates under her name, the Deer Park was her favorite, and her mother would live there for a large part of every year.

Aunt Ju continued: "Not only the garden, but also the 1,000 acres of fields and 600 acres of woods next to the garden are also in your name. Here are the garden deeds and land deeds. Madam has collected them.

"

Jing Shu hesitated, but didn't dare to reach out to take it. She said anxiously: "My mother's gift is too expensive. How can I dare to accept it?"

Aunt Ju simply took Jingshu's hand, put the deeds in her hands, and said with a smile: "You are the princess's direct daughter-in-law. There is nothing you can't bear. If you refuse, the princess will be unhappy.

You can just keep it safely."

Aunt Ju looked at Jingshu and then at Li Ling: "The princess said that if you have some free time, you can go stay in the garden for a few days and relax."

Even after what Grandma Ju had said, Jingshu still hesitated. She looked at Li Ling aside hesitantly.

Li Ling said: "Since it is a gift from my mother, just keep it."

After that, he took the deeds from Jingshu and put them back into the box. He called Ziyun and said, "Put them away for you miss."

Ziyun happily agreed, holding the box and going down happily.

Jingshu looked at Grandma Ju and said, "I will accept it now. I will go and thank my mother in person someday."

Aunt Ju smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have a long time to come, so I'll go back first."

When Aunt Ju walked out of the gate of Qingfeng Garden and disappeared, Jingshu still couldn't believe it. Such a luxurious royal garden was hers?

And the more than a thousand acres of fields and woods!

Her father was just a fourth-rank official and a Qingshui Yamen official, so her mother's family could only

She could barely be considered a wealthy family. Naturally, her dowry was incomparable to that of noble ladies from generals, ministers, and noble families. Not to mention Xu Wanning, who was born in a noble family, her dowry was more than ten times higher than hers.

Now her mother-in-law suddenly gave her such a big gift.

Among all the noble ladies in the capital, I am afraid she can also be ranked as the richest man.

This is the legendary overnight wealth!!!

Wealth! Who doesn’t love that?

Jingshu held her cheeks in her hands and sat in a daze for a long time on the chair before her mood gradually calmed down. She smacked her lips gently, poured a cup of tea and drank it before she really came back to her senses.

.

She is also a person with a substantial net worth.

She called outside: "Ziyun, come here."

Ziyun came in and asked, "What are your orders, Miss?"

Jing Shu said: "Go and get the deed that Aunt Ju just brought over."

Ziyun agreed and brought the box containing the deed.

Jingshu opened the box and took out the garden deed first: a bright red cover and a bright yellow lining.

Her name was clearly written on it, and the royal eunuch's seal was stamped below.

After reading it carefully, she put the garden deed aside and picked up the field deed. This field deed was thicker than the other garden deed, and it recorded in detail the number and location of paddy fields, dry fields and woods.

After reading the deed, Jingshu opened the account books of the farm and Linzhuang. Last year, the farm received nearly 600 taels of silver from various accounts, and the Linzhuang received more than 400 taels.

Jingshu suppressed the joy in her heart and looked carefully at each item, page by page.

The dusk was getting darker, and a bright candle made her vision clear.

Jingshu raised her head and saw that it was Li Ling who helped her light the candle on the table.

"Thank you." She thanked her hurriedly and went to check Zhuangzi's accounts in detail.

Li Ling sat across from her, and all the behavior of his young wife after she became rich fell under his eyes.

This little wife usually looks dignified and solemn when in front of others, but she is only seventeen years old after all, and she is still a child who has not yet shed all her childishness. Suddenly receiving such a big gift, she unconsciously showed her naivety.

So cute!

Li Ling's eyebrows stretched and he stared at his little wife's greedy appearance, with a smile gradually forming on his lips.

Jing Shu finally felt the burning gaze from the opposite side. She raised her head, with the confusion of sudden wealth in her eyes, and looked at Li Ling with a puzzled look on her face.

Li Ling couldn't hold back any longer, and burst out laughing.

Jingshu finally realized: he had been laughing at her here.

Only then did she realize her gaffe, and she felt ashamed and annoyed for a moment. Her almond-shaped eyes, which had been confused by the sudden wealth, immediately overflowed with light. She glared at Li Ling with a stern face and asked, "Why are you laughing?"

At this time, Li Ling no longer held back, and burst out laughing heartily. He laughed so much that he bent down, leaned forward and backward, and even cried.

Seeing him laughing at her like this, Jing Shu angrily stood up and took the deed and greeted him, saying bitterly: "I asked you to laugh at me! I asked you to laugh at me!"

Li Ling suppressed his laughter. He grabbed her hand and said, "Be careful. If you break this deed, the garden will no longer be yours."

Jingshu struggled but couldn't free her hand. She raised her foot to kick him angrily, her face flushed and she yelled: "You're still laughing at me! You're still laughing! Let me laugh again!"

Li Ling continued to laugh, and in the end he simply picked up the noisy little wife and strode towards the bed.

I have received many messages from book friends recently. Here are a few questions that everyone is concerned about:

1. Did Li Ling love Jing Shu in his previous life?

Answer: Love! He has always loved the heroine, very much. In his previous life, he was indifferent to the heroine because the heroine felt that she owed Li Ling, so she obeyed everywhere and lost herself. Li Ling was a straight man and ignored his wife's feelings.

.

2. What is Li Ling’s feeling for Qingluan?

Answer: Li Ling has affection for Qingluan, but there is also a reason for his affection. Let’s take a look at this and it will be revealed later.

3. Duke Zhen Guo (Li Ling’s father) betrayed the eldest princess. Is his character defective?

Answer: There was also a misunderstanding between the Duke of Zhen and the eldest princess. The two were in trouble because of the misunderstanding. The misunderstanding will be solved later. The character of Duke Zhen is not a problem and he will give everyone an explanation.

4. Why is Jing Shu so spineless and falls in love with Li Ling so easily in this life?

Answer: In her previous life, Li Ling was indifferent to her, but she had always loved him. Moreover, in this life, Li Ling's attitude changed, and it is normal for her to have feelings for him again.
