The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 99 Returning to Jingshu’s parents’ home

Before going to Nanjun, Li Lingjingshu not only went to Princess Mansion to say goodbye to her mother, but also went back to Shen Mansion.

Although Jingshu's mother passed away many years ago, Shen De'an has always maintained close ties with Jingshu's maternal clan.

A few years ago, when the roads were open, Father Shen would go back to visit his father-in-law and his family almost every year.

It was rare for Jing Shu to go back with Li Ling this time, so she naturally wanted to tell her father.

At the family banquet of Shen Mansion, when Shen De'an heard that his eldest daughter was going to follow his son-in-law back to Chaozhou, he was also worried. After the five cities of Gunzhou were lost, the journey would be very difficult.

Although Father Shen also thought about his father-in-law and his family, he was still worried about his eldest daughter's long journey. He couldn't help but persuade him: "Why don't you let Bo Yue pass by Chaozhou to visit your grandfather's family on your behalf? You go with me, because your father is worried." , this journey is very difficult.”

Before Jing Shu could speak, Li Ling agreed with his father-in-law and said, "I tried to persuade her the same way, but Shu'er just didn't listen."

Jingshu finally persuaded Li Ling to get this opportunity, but she didn't expect her father to block it just like Li Ling. She lightly kicked Li Ling under the table to signal him to shut up.

Li Ling caught a glimpse of his wife's glare and said nothing, but Father Shen still advised him: "It's difficult to travel on the road, and it's cold now, so you'd better not follow."

Although Li Ling agreed with his father-in-law's words, he did not dare to say anything due to his wife's power. He only glanced at Father Shen to express his approval of his father-in-law's decision to become famous.

It wasn't until he caught a glimpse of the knife that his wife handed him again that Li Ling shut up angrily, not daring to make any more small moves.

Jingshu replied to her father: "Don't worry, Dad, I will be careful. Besides, my husband is here and he will take good care of me."

Saying that, Jing Shu glanced at Li Ling again, her sharp little eyes forcing him to express his stance.

Li Ling had no choice but to agree with him: "My son-in-law will take good care of Shu'er. Father-in-law doesn't have to worry, just let her follow."

Before Shen's father could speak, Shen Xing said at the side: "Since my brother-in-law is here, he will definitely be able to protect my eldest sister. Father doesn't have to worry too much."

Father Shen replied: "I'm just afraid that the road will be difficult and your brother-in-law won't be able to take care of me. I'm also worried that I'm dragging down your brother-in-law."

Shen Xing smiled and said: "My brother-in-law is a great general who can protect all the people in the world. How can he not protect an eldest sister? Father, don't worry."

Shen Jingxuan on the side knocked her younger brother on the head and said with a smile to the big guy: "My brother-in-law just came in and quietly gave this boy a big red envelope. After looking at it, he finally coaxed him and wiped his mouth with honey." Similar."

Jing Shu didn't know about Li Ling giving her brother a red envelope. After hearing what her third sister said, she couldn't help but look at Li Ling who was standing aside.

Hearing this, Shen Jinglan also looked at Li Ling and joked with a smile: "Brother-in-law is really partial, we are both younger siblings, why only give it to Xing'er and not to us." After saying that, she stretched out her hand towards Li Ling through her eldest sister. Go, shouting: "I want it too, I want it too."

When her brother took the red envelope from her brother-in-law, Shen Jingxuan took a look at it quietly. It was a thousand taels of silver. How could he not be jealous if he was so generous?

Although Shen Jingxuan also coveted her brother's red envelope, she was a little jealous of this cold and solemn brother-in-law. She did not dare to make trouble with her second sister. She only looked at her brother-in-law eagerly, hoping to have a ride with her second sister. car.

Faced with Shen Jinglan's coquettish showmanship, Li Ling just smiled faintly and replied: "Just go with your sister, she will take care of the money."

Seeing Li Ling's indifferent expression, Shen Jinglan retracted her hand knowingly. Taking advantage of the gap, she quietly whispered in the eldest sister's ear: "Am I annoying my brother-in-law?"

Jing Shu knew that her second sister was used to being lively, so she didn't blame her. She patted her sister's hand and comforted her: "Your brother-in-law has a cold temper and never likes to play. It's not because of you, so don't worry about it."

Shen Jinglan breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Li Ling and said, "That's good. I thought my brother-in-law was angry with me?"

After this year, Shen Jinglan turned sixteen. When Father Shen saw that his second daughter was still disrespectful, he said angrily: "You are so old, how can you be so disrespectful?"

Mrs. Bai advised from the side: "My uncle is not an outsider, we are all a family member. Why should I keep Lan'er under restraint?"

After hearing her mother's words, Shen Jinglan muttered, "That's right, my brother-in-law is not an outsider."

Seeing that her parents and sister were unhappy, Jing Shu quickly changed the subject and smoothed things over: "Did you go to enjoy the lanterns during the Lantern Festival the day before yesterday?"

Shen Jingxuan replied cheerfully: "Of course I went. Except for my father who doesn't like fun, my mother, my second sister, and Xing'er all went."

Shen Xing continued: "This year is a bit more interesting than last year. At least the crystal lotus lantern was taken away by someone. Unlike last year, when there was a sea of ​​people, no one could win the jackpot."

Speaking of last year's Shangyuan Festival, Shen Jinglan looked at Jingshu aside and said, "Sister, do you still remember what happened at the Shangyuan Festival three years ago?"

"Three years ago on the Lantern Festival?" Jingshu turned her head and asked in confusion, "Is there anything new?"

Shen Jinglan quietly pointed at Li Ling beside her eldest sister, and said in Jingshu's ear: "We met my brother-in-law that year, don't you remember?"

Although Shen Jinglan's voice was soft, Li Ling was very sensitive. After hearing this, she turned her head and looked at her wife.

Look at you! Even your sister remembers this, but you have completely forgotten it.

Jingshu smiled innocently at Li Ling, picked up the wine bottle, and filled the wine for him: "Husband, drink and drink."

Before the two left, Mrs. Wang brought two jars of fragrant tea and said to Jingshu: "Miss, my grandpa asked someone to bring this from my hometown years ago. I know you like to drink this, so I gave you special instructions." Saved for you."

Jingshu took the tea and said with a smile: "Thank you, father and mother, for remembering that I like to drink this."

On the way back, when Jingshu learned that Li Ling had given her brother a thousand taels of silver notes, she was surprised and said, "Jiajia, why did you give him so much money?"

Li Ling replied: "Now that Xing'er has gone to an official school and is surrounded by children of prominent families, it would be good to have more money in his pocket."

Jingshu retorted: "Why are you comparing yourself to this? It is serious to be knowledgeable."

It is important to be well educated, but children also have self-esteem. If you see that the classmates around you are spending money like water, but you are the only one with little money, it will inevitably hurt your self-esteem.

Can a man's self-esteem be hurt?

Li Ling did not refute his wife, but replied carelessly: "You should stay out of my business."

Jingshu saw that he was making a big man's mistake again, so she went up and pinched his ears hard, gritted her teeth and said, "If I don't care about you for three days, you will go to the house and unveil the tiles, right?"

Li Ling protected his ears and said unyieldingly: "Don't be so arrogant with me. Let's see how I deal with you when I get back."

Jingshu let him go, glanced angrily, and complained: "You wrapped so many banknotes for Xing'er and didn't even tell me. You also have two younger sisters, which makes me so passive."

Li Ling glanced at his wife and said, "During the New Year, don't you know you should prepare red envelopes for them?"

Jingshu sighed and replied: "I'm prepared, but compared with what you gave to your brother, it seems a bit short."

Li Ling asked: "How much did you pack for them?"

Jing Shu stretched out five fingers towards Li Ling. Li Ling looked at her and guessed: "Five hundred taels?"

Jingshu said leisurely: "It's five taels."

Li Ling said in surprise: "As a sister, you are really stingy."

Compared with five taels and one thousand taels, Li Ling really couldn't imagine how big the gap would be in the hearts of the two wives and sisters after opening the red envelopes.

Jingshu explained: "Before I left the cabinet, my father would only give us so much during the Chinese New Year. I just followed my old practice."

Five taels of silver is enough for an official family like the Shen family to feed and drink for half a month. In fact, it is already quite a lot.

She glanced at Li Ling and said angrily: "We, from a small family, are really no match for a noble man like you."

Li Ling took his wife in his arms and said jokingly: "It's good that you have this consciousness. So, you must behave well in front of me from now on."

"It's best to be like you did when you first got married, to bow your eyebrows in front of me all day long and serve me comfortably."

After hearing this, Jingshu couldn't help but go up and pinch Li Ling's ears hard.
