Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 128 The Jade-Faced Man

Li Ling asked quickly: "Then why didn't you go down and call him just now?"

Jing Shu replied: "My cousin must have received the letter and came to pick us up. Judging from the direction he is going, he should be heading to Guanyi to wait for us. There are many people on the street, and we are taking so many people with us. There’s no rush at this moment, it’s not too late to see you again at Guanyi.”

Li Ling was impatient. After hearing this, he ordered Liang Jin to take everyone behind him. Li Ling crossed his legs and ran toward the posthouse with his wife first.

Jiang Youchen really arrived at the post house first to wait for Jingshu Li Ling.

He arrived in front of the post gate and just got off his horse when Li Ling and Jing Shu came over.

Jing Shu saw Jiang Youchen leading his horse to the post house and called out hurriedly: "Cousin."

Hearing the familiar business, Jiang Youchen turned around sharply.

 Li Ling got off the horse and took his wife off the horse. Jing Shu looked at Jiang Youchen who was stunned and said with a smile: "Cousin Chen, don't you recognize me? I'm Shu'er."

Jiang Youchen looked at the imposing man standing next to Jing Shu, and then he came back to his senses.

 My cousin is already married.

Jiang Youchen hurriedly greeted her with a smile on his face: "I almost don't recognize my cousin after seeing her for several years."

Jingshu introduced him hurriedly: "This is your husband." Then she formally introduced to Li Ling: "This is my uncle's third son, cousin Chen."

Jiang Youchen is two years older than Jing Shu, and Li Ling is five years older than Jing Shu. Speaking of which, Li Ling is the elder of Jiang Youchen. Although they have never met, they know each other's situation from letters written home.

Li Ling naturally couldn't follow Jing Shu and call Jiang Youchen's cousin, so he only called him Ah Chen.

He smiled and greeted, "Did Ah Chen receive a letter from me and Shu'er and come here to wait for us?"

Jiang Chen naturally couldn't call Li Ling's sister-in-law, who was older than him, so he only replied: "My family just received a letter from General Li and Shu'er five days ago. I heard that you are coming. I am so happy. My father has ordered me to I have been waiting for you here for three days."

He looked at the two people who were tired of the journey and said with concern: "This journey is very difficult."

Li Ling replied: "It's really difficult. I didn't want Shu'er to follow me, but she was worried about her family and insisted on following her."

He glared at his wife and said in a half-hearted way: "Looking at her suffering along the way, I'm afraid she may have lost more than three to five kilograms."

Jiang Youchen looked at his cousin with gentleness in his eyes, and replied to Li Ling: "When I get to Chaozhou, I will ask my mother to give my cousin a good meal. Shu'er grew up in Chaozhou and likes to eat the food cooked by her mother the most. Li Don’t worry, General, it will be made up for in a few days.”

Jingshu asked: "How are your grandparents, aunts, and cousins?"

Jiang Youchen replied: "Everything is fine, but everyone misses you very much, especially grandma, who talks about you all day long."

The three of them walked towards the post house while talking. When they reached the cave, Jiang Youchen called the post house and said to Jingshu and Li Ling: "I have already ordered them to tidy up the room for you. You can go with the post house first." Let’s take a rest and we’ll talk more about it during dinner tonight.”

Li Lingjingshu and Jiang Youchen said goodbye and followed Guanyi to the house where they were staying.

This post house is much better than the one in Xiaochun City, and the room Jiang Youchen arranged for them is also the best room here. The house is spacious, kept spotlessly clean, and has a bathroom, which makes people feel comfortable just looking at it.

After Jingshu looked at the room with satisfaction, she sat down on the chair and looked at the fresh fruits and snacks on the table. She took one and praised the postmaster: "You are so considerate in this posthouse." .”

Yi Cheng pointed to the fruits on the table and replied with a smile: "Master Jiang specially ordered his subordinates to prepare this. They change it every day. This plate of fruits was picked early in the morning and is the freshest." Li Ling replied; "I didn't expect Ah Chen to be so attentive."

Yi Cheng continued Li Ling's words and continued: "What the general said is absolutely true. Mr. Jiang is really a careful man. Even when you are staying in this house, he looked through all the rooms in our post house. When we booked this room, we were also told carefully to keep it clean and tidy, just waiting for the two nobles to come and stay."

Jingshu smiled and said: "Cousin Chen has such a temperament, he treats others with humility and meticulousness."

 After breakfast on the second day, they were about to go on their way. Li Ling took Jing Shu out of the post house. Jiang Youchen was already waiting for them outside, and even the carriage and horse had been prepared for Jing Shu early.

Li Ling helped Jingshu get into the car. Although the car was not as spacious and luxurious as the carriage and horses Li Ling borrowed from the old lady, it was still very comfortable.

Ever since they left Xiaochun City, they have been riding horses. Now that they can sit in the car, Jingshu and Ziyun feel doubly happy.

Ziyun and Jingshu were sitting on the car couch, glancing at the snacks placed on the small table in the car, and also praised Jiang Youchen: "It has been six or seven years since we left Chaozhou, and the third young master has not changed at all, he is still the same. Careful."

As she spoke, she twisted up a bag of halva and brought it to Jingshu: "Miss, do you remember this pine nut candy? This was your favorite in Chaozhou."

Jingshu picked up a piece, put it in her mouth, and said with satisfaction: "Well, it's so sweet."

As she spoke, she picked a piece and put it into Ziyun's mouth: "Try it, it still tastes the same, it hasn't changed at all."

Ziyun took a bite and agreed: "Isn't it? It's so delicious. Hey, I've been craving this since I left Chaozhou."

Chariots and horses drove along, leaving Yuncheng for dozens of miles before entering Chaozhou.

Jingshu opened the car curtain and looked at the familiar mountains and rivers, and couldn't help but sigh: "I feel more timid when I'm close to my hometown. Before I returned, I was thinking about it. Now that I'm in my hometown, I feel a little uncomfortable."

 Ziyun also looked out the window: "This is because you are too homesick."

Li Ling and Jiang Youchen rode beside the car to protect them. When Li Ling saw his wife sticking her head out, she turned her head and asked, "Are you tired? Do you want to stop and take a rest."

Jingshu replied hurriedly: "I'm not tired, I'm not tired, just hurry up and get on your way."

Jiang Youchen looked at Jingshu's impatient expression, looked at her with crooked eyebrows and said, "It seems that my cousin is really homesick."

Li Ling replied: "That's right. I have never seen her in such a hurry after traveling for so long."

Ziyun glanced at the gentle and elegant Jiang Youchen who was riding on the horse, and whispered in Jingshu's ear: "The third son of our family was praised as the 'Jade-faced Man' when he was young. After not seeing each other for so many years, he is becoming more and more handsome." .”

After hearing Ziyun’s words, Jingshu glanced at her cousin and replied in a low voice: “Cousin Chen has been handsome since he was a child. Now that he has experienced both civil and military skills, his temperament is naturally better than when he was a child.”

 “What are you talking about?”

Jing Shu and Ziyun were whispering in the car. Li Ling, who was riding a horse, bent down and glanced at his wife in the car and asked.

How can a man like Li Ling tolerate his wife praising other men?

Jingshu glanced at him and replied: "I told Ziyun that we haven't seen each other for many years, and the scenery in Chaozhou seems to be better than before."
