The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 82 Brothers and sisters are still good at charioteing

With the gurgling sound of the guqin coming from behind the screen, the banquet for Qingluan Jiefeng officially began.

Jing Shu sat beside Li Ling and glanced at Qingluan beside the old lady.

Her eyes were always glued to Li Ling. Even if the old lady and Xu Wanning chatted with her from time to time, she had finished dealing with it and cast her naked gaze over again.

Any woman would not be happy to see another woman thinking of her man like this, and Jingshu was naturally not immune to this.

Jingshu was disgusted, she put down her chopsticks and looked at Qingluan. Although she was disgusted with her lack of self-respect, she had a polite smile on her face: "Cousin, the piano player we invited today is playing.

Yale, do you still like me?"

Qingluan had a dull look on his face and only replied with two words: "Not bad."

Jing Shu saw that she looked indifferent to her, so she smiled and said nothing.

She turned her head to look at Li Ling who was sitting next to her, and saw that he was sitting upright, drinking wine by himself, his fingers tapping lightly on his legs casually to the rhythm of elegant music, listening intently to his wife and Qingluan's conversation.

This simple conversation didn't seem to reach his ears, and he never glanced up at his cousin who was secretly looking up at him from beginning to end.

"Cousin." Qingluan finally couldn't hold back anymore and looked at Li Ling and called.

Li Ling was still immersed in the beautiful music and couldn't extricate himself. Qingluan's soft call did not pull him back.

"Cousin." Qingluan called him with a louder voice.

This time, everyone in the banquet hall heard Qingluan's voice, and Li Ling could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.

He put down the wine cup, stopped tapping his fingers, but his eyes fell on his wife beside him, and asked: "What's the matter?"

When she came to the banquet, she did warn him to talk to Qingluan less and look at her less, but it was not such a "little" method. Jingshu was really helpless against this straight husband who would act stupid from time to time.

Seeing Li Ling looking at Jing Shu and asking questions, everyone's eyes fell on Jing Shu involuntarily.

Jing Shu glared at Li Ling: "It's my cousin calling you."

Qingluan's eyes dimmed, she smiled awkwardly, looked at Li Ling and said: "I remember that my cousin has never been very fond of music, singing and dancing. Today's music is just ordinary. How come my cousin is so fascinated by it?"

Li Ling was silent for a moment. His eyes moved from Jingshu, but did not fall on Qingluan. Instead, he looked blankly ahead and said lightly: "Your sister-in-law loves Yale, but I just love the house and the bird."

After saying that, he turned his head, picked up the wine cup, and started tapping his fingers to the rhythm of the music in a decent manner.

He looked infinitely intoxicated and had an attitude of not being disturbed by others.

Seeing Li Ling like this, Qingluan's originally wet eyes were almost flooded now. She bit her lips tightly, fearing that the tears would fall down and she would no longer have the courage to talk to the cousin she longed for.

The third girl sitting next to the old lady was stunned by Li Ling's words.

It's really incredible that such a cold and serious man like his second brother can actually say something like "love the house and the bird" in public.

Her second sister-in-law is really amazing!

Not only the three girls, Li Xian and Xu Wanning were also surprised when they heard Li Ling's words.

Li Xian looked at his second brother and thought angrily: No wonder he had to ignore his own future in order to please his wife a while ago. Now it seems that he is really fascinated by this Shen family, even for such a romantic scholar like him

, even if you are obsessed with beauty like Mei Niang, you can never say the words "love the house and the bird" in public.

Good-for-nothing! I never imagined that this younger brother would be so good-for-nothing after marrying a wife.

Xu Wanning is an outspoken person. After listening to Li Ling's words, she smiled and joked: "I didn't expect that our 'Bing Pupa' would change so much after marrying a wife."

Li Ling smiled sheepishly at the eldest sister-in-law: "If there are any changes, eldest sister-in-law should not make fun of them."

Xu Wanning covered her mouth and smiled, then moved her gaze from Li Ling to Jingshu beside him, and then joked: "My younger siblings are still good at charioteers."

Before Jingshu could reply, the third girl sitting at the top asked in surprise: "Cousin, what's wrong with you? Why are you still crying?"

Everyone looked at Qingluan. Qingluan quickly covered his veil and said perfunctorily: "Okay, why should I cry?"

She frowned and grinned awkwardly at everyone: "It's this wine. This wine is too strong and it chokes me."

The old lady caressed her granddaughter's back distressedly and told the woman serving the banquet: "Go and get a pot of light fruit wine for the princess."

The mother-in-law quickly agreed and left. The old lady continued: "Let the music players stop as well. Listening to such music makes people feel uncomfortable. Let's change it to something festive."

The old lady gave an order, and the slow music suddenly stopped. After a moment, the sound of chirping gongs and drums sounded. Accompanied by the drum beats, a man in green clothes walked from behind the screen to the stand, his hairpin trembling on his head, his hands

The water sleeves turned over and started singing babblingly.

The old lady loves her granddaughter. Naturally, no amount of pain is enough. As for what to listen to and what to watch, no one will care about these trivial matters. Anyway, the royal cousin is a guest and will go back after staying for a few days.

As long as they can make grandma happy, no one cares about following along.

Seeing that things had changed, Li Ling naturally couldn't pretend to have a wide range of interests, so he simply turned sideways and drank by himself.

When Jingshu was listening to Yale just now, she took the initiative to talk to Qingluan, but she was treated with a cold face, so naturally she had no time to ask for trouble.

Furthermore, seeing that she was so annoyed by Li Ling that she shed tears just now, he didn't dare to provoke her anymore. If she couldn't restrain herself and started crying in public, the old lady would naturally blame her.

Jingshu didn't like drinking, so she only focused on eating. The waiter knew that she liked roasted chicken, so he served a plate in front of her.

The roasted golden meat is lightly glistened with oil and sprinkled with sesame and peanut crumbs, making it mouth-watering just to look at.

Jingshu picked up the knife on the plate, cut off a piece, and tasted it. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was really delicious. She couldn't help but use the knife to cut it again. Li Ling saw this and took the knife from her hand.

, skillfully cut off thin slices of roasted meat from the chicken, and placed each piece on the small plate in front of her.

Jing Shu ate deliciously and looked up at Li Ling with a smile.

Seeing his young wife's greedy appearance, Li Ling also arched his eyebrows and asked in a low voice, "Is it delicious?"

Jing Shu nodded towards her, but before she could say the word "delicious", she heard the old lady above her say in shock: "Okay, what's going on?"

Then came the third girl's sarcastic teasing voice: "Yale makes you sad, and listening to the opera also makes you cry. Cousin, aren't your tears too valuable?"
