Noble Lady Jing Zhao

Chapter 144 An excuse to give gifts
When his mother asked about it, Ye Jingzhao naturally couldn't hide it from his mother anymore.

"Mother, today at Zhaohua Temple, my daughter rescued a woman. She needs someone to take care of her now. There is no suitable person in Zhaohua Temple."

"Therefore, my daughter kept Xiangyuan."

Ye Jingzhao said.

The third lady Xie heard this, but her heart was pounding.

"Zhaozhao, you must never hide such things from your mother again in the future."

Her daughter is doing good deeds, so naturally it’s hard for her to say too much.

Ye Jingzhao agreed.

Several days passed.

Mrs. Lin entered Kyoto.

The third lady, Mrs. Xie, got the letter early.

He took his daughter to the Lin residence, and originally wanted to call his son to the Lin residence as well.

But the son couldn't get away.

Therefore, the third lady Xie prepared some gifts and dressed up.

He took his daughter and went to Lin's house.

Mrs. Lin's carriage and horses have not arrived yet.

Mrs. Lin will be there around lunch time.

After waiting for half a cup of tea, the servant came to report that Mrs. Lin's carriage and horse had entered the city.

Mrs. Xie took her daughter Ye Jingzhao to the door to greet her.

Lin Yunrong, her brother, sister-in-law and nephew, accompanied Mrs. Ye San, Mrs. Xie, went to the main entrance to greet her.

The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of Lin Mansion.

The nanny next to Mrs. Lin got out of the carriage first and blessed everyone.

Then he turned around and lifted the curtain, and helped Mrs. Lin out of the carriage.

"Mrs. Ye San, I haven't seen her for a long time, but now that I have seen her, she looks even younger."

Madam Ye San, Mrs. Xie, stepped forward. Mrs. Lin stretched out her hand and held Mrs. Ye San's, Mrs. Xie's hand.

The two of them nodded to each other as a courtesy.

"Girl Jing Zhao, it's becoming more and more obvious that you are good at giving birth to children. The ones I gave birth to are really not as cute as the two you gave birth to."

Mrs. Lin held the arm of Mrs. Xie, the third wife of Ye, and stretched out her hand to hold Ye Jingzhao and praised her.

"Mrs. Lin, stop praising me. This girl should be proud. I really like the two children Mrs. Lin raised. I only regret that I was not lucky enough to have two well-behaved children."

Mrs. Lin let go of Ye Jingzhao's hand.

Chatting and laughing with Mrs. Ye San, they walked into the gate of Lin Mansion.

Mr. Lin, his wife, children and sister bowed down to meet his mother.

Mrs. Lin smiled and nodded.

He motioned for everyone to come into the house to talk.

After Mrs. Lin freshened up, everyone was already waiting at the banquet.

Mrs. Lin and Ms. Xie, Mrs. Ye San, were sitting together.

Mr. Lin, his wife and children were sitting next to Mrs. Lin.

Lin Yunrong was sitting with Ye Jingzhao chatting.

The atmosphere during the dinner was particularly cheerful.

Mr. Lin also knew that his parents intended to marry the third wife of the uncle's house.

As for Ye Chen, he has watched him grow up since childhood.

He was only a few years older than Ye Chen, and he was extremely satisfied with his future brother-in-law.

After lunch, Mrs. Lin sent her daughter and Ye Jingzhao back to the house to talk.

This is because he intends to talk to Mr. Xie, Mrs. Ye San.

Lin Yunrong agreed and took Ye Jingzhao back to her yard.

Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Ye San discussed the engagement.

The sixth day of the lunar new year is a good day.

After a rough discussion.

After leaving Lin Mansion, Mrs. Ye San went to Qian Mansion.

In Kyoto, she didn't know many ladies.

The Lin family didn't want to be too public, so Ms. Xie had no plans to invite her sister-in-law Ms. Liang to come and propose marriage.

Instead, he chose Mrs. Qian, whom he had some slight friendship with.

Mrs. Qian happily agreed and told Mrs. Xie not to worry.

"In my mother's heart, something big has finally happened."

When returning home, the third lady Xie said to her daughter.

"Your father still doesn't want to wrong Miss Lin. It just so happens that Mr. Qian's family has an unused house. He said that he would give it to your father temporarily. When we have enough money in the future, we will give Mr. Qian the money to buy the house."

"That's a one-entry house, which can be regarded as a guarantee for Miss Lin." The third wife, Mrs. Xie, said to herself, not wanting her future daughter-in-law to follow her and suffer in the uncle's house.

It would be great if the son and daughter-in-law could be separated earlier.

Mrs. Lin naturally knows the situation of Uncle Chengen's Mansion.

She is naturally satisfied with what Mrs. Ye San, Mrs. Xie, mentioned today.

"Mom, my brother may not be able to stay at home every day. If Sister Lin lives there alone in the future, will she be lonely?"

Lin Yunrong is gentle and reserved, and has an extremely quiet temperament.

Although there are quite a few women, maids, servants and servants in attendance.

But it was nothing compared to being with her every day and having someone to talk to to relieve boredom.

"Let's not move there for now. That house can be regarded as a guarantee for Miss Lin in the future."

As for what was guaranteed, the third lady Xie did not say it directly.

The mother and daughter knew it well.

"Third Madam, Mr. Mu is here. He has been waiting for a long time."

As soon as the carriage stopped in front of the uncle's house, the servant stepped forward and replied.

In the carriage, the third lady Xie looked at her daughter suspiciously.

Ye Jingzhao was shocked and didn't know why Mu Yanzong suddenly came to visit today.

He shook his head blankly.

I heard that Mu Yanzong waited in the third room for an hour.

The third wife, Mrs. Xie, and her daughter unconsciously quickened their pace.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Mu Yanzong sitting quietly on a bluestone chair in the courtyard.

Today he was wearing a dark robe and his dark hair was tied high.

"Third lady."

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Mu Yanzong stood up and bowed with his hands.

Then he looked at Ye Jingzhao and said, "Sister Jingzhao."

The third lady, Mrs. Xie, nodded slightly.

Ye Jingzhao returned the gift.

"Master Mu, please go inside and talk quickly. It's cold outside."

The third wife, Mrs. Xie, was inevitably distressed. Although she knew he was in the army, these cold winds were nothing to him.

"Third Madam, no need, I will leave as soon as I finish speaking."

Mu Yanzong picked up a box from the table and brought it to Mrs. Ye San, Mrs. Xie.

Ye Jingzhao stepped forward to take it suspiciously.

"This is a century-old ginseng that my mother recently got. She specifically asked me to deliver it in person."

"My mother also made a special statement, saying that it is cold in winter, but this ginseng is warm and tonic, so please don't dislike it, just make the soup and eat it."

"It's such a big expense for Mrs. Mu."

The third lady, Mrs. Xie, did not decline politely. She thought to herself that Mu Yanzong came to see her off in person despite his busy schedule. If she refused, wouldn't it be chilling?

"Third Madam, I will take my leave now. There are still matters to be dealt with in the army."

Mu Yanzong saluted again.

The third lady, Mrs. Xie, took the box containing ginseng from her daughter and said to her, "Zhaozhao, go see Mr. Mu off."

Ye Jingzhao nodded slightly.

Mu Yanzong said goodbye to his third wife, Mrs. Xie, and walked out.

Ye Jingzhao followed behind.

As they walked, Mu Yanzong slowed down and walked side by side with her.

This was the first time that the two of them were so close.

There was a faint smell of sunshine coming from the tip of Ye Jingzhao's nose.

"Sister Jing Zhao, the purse you embroidered is very good. I like it very much."

There was a bit of embarrassment in Mu Yanzong's voice.

This was the first time he received sewing items from a woman besides his mother.

"Master Mu, there is no need to be so polite."

Ye Jingzhao raised his eyes, looked at Mu Yanzong, and smiled.

The smile is pure.

Mu Yanzong looked at the girl with a smile, and his heart stopped for a moment.

After coming back to his senses, he smiled to ease his embarrassment.

"I came today because I have something to tell sister Jing Zhao."

Mu Yanzong mentioned the reason for coming today.
