The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 73 Qingluan Came for Li Ling

Because of New Year's Eve and the New Year's Eve, everyone got up late on the first day of the new year. By the time Jing Shu and Li Ling cleaned up, the winter sun was already hanging high.The young couple walked side by side to the Anxi Hall to greet the old lady. Halfway there, they happened to meet Li Xian and his wife with Brother Kun and Sister Zhuang.

Brother Kun and Sister Zhuang happily paid New Year's greetings to their second uncle and aunt. Jing Shu took out the red envelopes they had prepared and distributed them to the children. Seeing that the two-year-old Sister Zhuang was really cute, she bent down and hugged her In his arms, talking and laughing with Xu Wanning, he followed Li Ling and Li Xian to An Xi Tang.

After entering the Anxi Hall, only Lord Zhen Guo arrived, and everyone sat down after paying respects to the old lady and Lord Zhen Guo.After a while, the third girl and the third master also came to Anxi Hall one after another. The whole family chatted and laughed around the old lady until noon before leaving, but the fourth master never came over.

Mr. Zhen Guo couldn't hold back on his face, and before leaving, he said to Li Xiang: "You can go to see Lao Si later."

After everyone went out, Li Xian and Li Ling naturally had other entertainments, and the three girls had to go out after they had an appointment with their girlfriends. Only Jing Shu and Xu Wanning took Brother Heng's sister Zhuang to the inner courtyard.

Xu Wanning asked, "Do you have anything else to do this afternoon?"

Jing Shu said: "Let's have a family dinner tonight, and tomorrow we will be busy arranging the reciprocity of gifts and gifts from various prefectures."

Xu Wanning sighed: "Oh! Then I'm afraid I won't be free until the first month is out." She looked at Jingshu and said, "When you are free in the second half of the afternoon, you can go to my place for tea."

Jing Shu said yes.

The two were walking and chatting, when Li Xiang chased after them.

The two stood still, looking at the changed third master, Xu Wanning joked: "Third brother is different now that he joined the army, he looks like an adult, and he is more manly."

Li Xiang scratched his head, smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't make fun of me, I'm just trying to catch ducks on the shelves."

Xu Wanning asked with a smile, "How is it? In your second brother's army, you must be quite tired."

Li Xiang glanced at Jingshu, didn't speak to Xu Wanning, and just gave Xu Wanning a "do you still need to ask?" look.

Xu Wanning looked at Jingshu and covered her mouth and smiled: "Go back and tell your second brother not to be so strict with the third brother. It will scare the third brother. Seeing him is like a mouse meeting a cat."

Before Jingshu could agree, Li Xiang waved his hands and said, "Don't, don't, don't, second sister-in-law, you must never tell the second brother about this. Otherwise, he must think that I complained about him in front of you." He scratched his head, He laughed and said, "You're going to train me again."

Xu Wanning smiled and comforted, "Your second brother is strict with you, and it's for your own good."

Li Xiang agreed: "I know." Then, he glanced at Jing Shu and whispered: "Second Sister-in-law, I have something to do with you."

Xu Wanning looked at Jingshu with a smile and said: "You are very popular, one or two are willing to find you." Then, she hugged Sister Zhuang: "Then I will go back first, and you can go to my place in the next half an hour. "

After Xu Wanning left, Jing Shu asked Li Xiang, "Is the third brother looking for me because of Jiao Xing?"

Li Xiang didn't know how to speak at first, but when he saw Jing Shu directly mentioning it, his face turned red, and he didn't dare to look at Jing Shu, he hung his head and hesitated: "I don't know her, how is she doing now? "

It's rare that he still misses that girl, she's not a heartless person.

Jingshu said to him: "I put her in the Zhuangzi, and allocated a separate yard for her. I only said to the outside world that she is a distant relative who is in charge of the house. She has everything she needs to eat, drink and wear. Naturally, no one will embarrass her. She, you can rest assured."

Li Xiang raised his head, cast a grateful look at Jingshu, and said in a low voice: "Second sister-in-law, can you tell me where she is, and can you allow me to go and see her?"

According to the family rules of the Zhen Guogong Mansion, the children are not allowed to accept the house before they are married.Logically speaking, Jiao Xing broke the rules and would be kicked out of the mansion, and now Jingshu is doing this extrajudicially.

She replied to Li Xiang: "Of course the rules of our family are clearer than mine. I can't allow you to visit her."

Hearing this, the third master's eyes dimmed.

Jing Shu comforted: "But don't worry, since I promised to take care of her for you, I will definitely fulfill my promise."

She paused, and then said: "When you get married in the future, if you still remember her, and if your wife can tolerate her, you can take her back in a fair manner. But if you don't After thinking about her, I will also find a suitable person to marry her."

Li Ling said anxiously: "Of course I won't forget her."

Jing Shu smiled and said: "If the third brother is really able to do this, it is not in vain for that girl to fight with you. Then you can follow your second brother to make progress in the army and strive to get ahead as soon as possible. At that time, everything will be done on your own." It's up to you, isn't it?"

To Li Xiang, these few words are far more realistic than his father and brother's words of advice all day long, and they can also be said into his heart.

Li Xiang made a deep bow to Jing Shu: "So, I will leave her to my sister-in-law to take care of her for the time being, and trouble my second sister-in-law to tell Jiao Xing that I, Li Xiang, will definitely live up to her in this life and let her wait for me."

Jing Shu nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, I will tell her what you said."

In the second half of the day, Jingshu knocked down Xu Wanning's Qingfengyuan.The two of them hadn't finished their cup of tea yet, the mother of An Xi Tang came back and said that the old lady came to them to discuss matters.

The two returned to An Xi Tang together.

As soon as they entered the door, the old lady happily greeted the two of them and said, "Come here quickly, I have something happy to tell you."

Before the two of them sat down, the old lady couldn't wait to say: "Someone came from the palace just now, saying that the Holy Majesty is merciful, and Qingluan will be allowed to live here for a while in a few days."

After hearing the old lady's words, Jing Shu's heart sank, but before she could respond, Xu Wanning hurriedly asked: "The imperial cousin is coming to our house? This, is this not in compliance with the rules?"

The rules of the inner palace are naturally strict. According to etiquette, unmarried princesses are not allowed to leave the palace.The last time the old lady celebrated her birthday, it was because of the kindness of the Holy One that Qingluan came to celebrate her grandmother's birthday, but it was a pity that she couldn't make it due to illness.

This time, it is even more against the rules to say that they want to come here for a short stay.

The old lady saw the doubts of the two granddaughter-in-laws, and said with a smile: "Qingluan will be sixteen in March. Her rite of passage is to ask the Holy Majesty and the Empress to allow her to return to her mother's family for a few days. It is rare for this child to have such filial piety, so the Holy One and the Empress agreed."

Xu Wanning replied: "So that's the case."

There was no enthusiasm in his tone.

The old lady was having a good time, so she naturally didn't care about the mood of the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law. She continued: "Someone said that the sage allowed Qingluan to come over on the tenth day of the lunar new year. It is a big deal for the princess to stay here, so I will leave this matter to you two. .”

The old lady was making arrangements with great interest, and the third girl was also invited, and she asked as soon as she entered the door: "Xiangwu just left from grandma's place, and I just packed up and was about to go out, when I was called back by the messenger. "

Seeing that the two sister-in-laws were also there, she asked suspiciously, "Grandmother called us, what's the big deal?"

The old lady smiled and said: "I was talking with your two sister-in-laws, your imperial cousin is coming on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year"

Before the old speaker finished speaking, the third girl turned her almond eyes round and annoyed, and asked coldly, "What is she here for?"

The old lady chatted with her granddaughter impatiently again, and at the end, she repeatedly told the little granddaughter: "Grandmother knows that you and her are not getting along, but your imperial cousin is a guest, so it's rare to come to live like this once. You don't care about everything." Just let her go."

The third girl snorted coldly: "She is older than me, she should let me go."

The old lady said angrily: "This child, the older he gets, the less sensible he is." As she spoke, she looked at the two granddaughters-in-law and said, "The place where Qingluan is staying, you two should go back and make arrangements. She has also been here before. I have been in the mansion a few times, and I am familiar with this place, so you choose a few suitable courtyards and ask someone to draw them, and I will find a way to send them into the palace tomorrow, and let Qingluan choose by herself."

The old lady sighed: "I have never stayed by my side since I grew up. It's a rare time, but I must let her live comfortably."

Jingshu and Xu Wanning naturally had no reason not to agree, and after hearing the old lady's instructions, the three were released.

Ever since she heard that Qingluan was coming, the third girl's face remained calm, and as soon as she left the Anxi Hall, she couldn't help complaining: "It's the Chinese New Year, it's rare for our family to get together, why is she here to join in the fun. "Speaking, she said to her two sister-in-laws: "You arrange a place for her, but stay away from my Lan Yaxuan, I can't stand her crying when she has nothing to do."

Hearing what the third girl said, the outspoken Xu Wanning couldn't help but said: "During the first lunar month, I hope she won't cry here, it's unlucky."

Jing Shu stood aside and silently listened to the complaints of the two.Naturally, she was the person who disliked her coming the least, but what she was thinking at the moment was: Qingluan came here suddenly, what was the reason?Is it really to enjoy a few days of family happiness with the mother's relatives?

Probably not.

Her real goal must be Li Ling.
