Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 133 How could the Third Young Master not care about my cousin?

Jingshu hugged her little niece lovingly and looked around. She really couldn't get enough of her.

The little girl blinked her big watery eyes and looked at this beautiful cousin, and said innocently: "Auntie, I often hear my grandmother and mother talk about you, but I have never seen you until I am so old."

Jingshu touched her niece's head and said with a smile, "How come you haven't seen your aunt? My aunt was as old as you when you were born. As soon as you landed, your aunt rushed over to see you."

Sister Fu asked: "Auntie, did you look good when you saw me as a newborn?"

Jingshu kissed her niece's cheek and replied with a smile: "Sister Fu was born as a snow doll with pink makeup and beautiful jade. She is extremely beautiful."

My eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, came over, pulled her daughter with a smile and said, "You were only three years old when my cousin left Chaozhou, so I don't remember. When my aunt was at home, she came to coax you to play every day. You liked your cousin when you were a child. .”

Speaking of old things, Jingshu sighed: "Yes! Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, even my youngest niece is so old."

Mrs. Zhang also sighed: "That's right. You were only ten years old when you left home, and now you are married."

Mrs. Zhang is one year older than Jingshu. When she married into the Jiang Mansion, her cousin Jingshu was still a little baby. As the eldest sister-in-law, she also watched this beautiful and well-behaved sister-in-law grow up, and she also has feelings for this cousin. Extremely profound.

　　When mentioning Jingshu's marriage, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but ask: "I think my uncle is quite talented, but he comes from a wealthy family. Are you living a good life in the house?"

Although a family like theirs is one of the best in Chaozhou, it is really far behind the Zhenguo Gongfu.

It is not easy to be the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family. Moreover, the sister-in-law is marrying into a high family, so Mrs. Zhang will inevitably be worried.

Jingshu smiled and replied: "Although their family is from a high-ranking family, the female relatives are all kind, and they don't have anything to worry about."

Hearing what her sister-in-law said, Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief: "I heard from your eldest cousin that when my uncle wrote, he said that you are now a householder in the Zhenguo Palace?"

Jingshu nodded.

Mrs. Zhang was pleased and said: "It can be seen that their family still likes you very much. It's just that it's not easy to be in charge of such a large duke's mansion."

In front of her mother-in-law's family, Jingshu was naturally unrestrained and replied: "That's right. There are endless things to do every day. It's very tiring and worrying."

Hearing what Jingshu said, her cousin Zhang and her aunt Tian couldn't help but feel distressed. Mrs. Zhang was from the past and tried to say: "You are so young, sometimes it is inevitable that you can't stand up. My uncle is the head of the family, so he can help." you do not?"

 Since she took charge of the family, Li Ling has indeed helped her establish her prestige. Take that time when the mother-in-law had a night out, for example, after Li Ling rebuked her with a cold face, no one below her would dare to take her words seriously.

Li Ling is a cold and solemn person, and the people in the mansion are naturally jealous of him. If he is determined to help his daughter-in-law establish her authority, they will naturally be able to capture him.

Remembering that time Li Ling was so angry with her that he rushed back in the middle of the night to accompany her on night patrol to establish his authority, Jing Shu's cheeks turned slightly red, her head was half lowered, and she hesitated: "He can also help me. , and also knows how to protect me."

Li Ling always looked serious in front of outsiders, but he would never show his tenderness towards his wife in front of outsiders. But when Mrs. Zhang saw Jingshu's demeanor when she mentioned her uncle, she realized that the couple had a good relationship in private. of.

Zhang was happy and at the same time couldn't help but feel sorry for her family.

My cousin and her brother-in-law were childhood sweethearts, a talented and beautiful couple. It would have been great if they could have gotten married in the first place.

Why! It's a pity that the falling flowers are intentional and the flowing water is unintentional. Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang asked her mother-in-law Tian, ​​"I heard that Sanlang really went to Hengshan early in the morning?"

 Tian sighed and nodded.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law naturally didn't want to complain too much in front of Jingshu, but they sighed silently at each other for a long time.

 After coming out of her aunt's place, Jingshu headed towards her grandfather and grandmother's yard.

Grandfather is much better today and can already stand up. Although he is very weak in body due to his age, his mind is not foggy. Although he has not seen his granddaughter for many years, he recognized her at a glance.

Grandma also understood it for a while this morning. The two old people were very happy to see their granddaughter. They took her and started chatting with her.

It’s just that the old man was old and easily depressed. Jing Shu saw her grandfather coughing slightly after talking for a while. She hurriedly fed the old man some anti-cough decoction with the serving nun, and then helped the old man lie down to rest.

It was almost noon when they returned to the cave. As soon as they entered the house, the little girl Xia He from Jiang Youchen's yard came in holding a thick stack of story books. Ziyun quickly took the book she was holding. He smiled and said, "Sorry to trouble you."

Xia He smiled and replied: "When the Third Young Master went out this morning, he specifically asked the servant to bring these words to the cousin to relieve her boredom. The servant has been waiting at the door for a long time, and just saw that the cousin came back, so she was very busy. Sent over."

Jingshu casually opened the notebooks that Xia He brought and said with a smile, "Cousin Chen is such a careful person. Remember that I like to read this."

Xia He said casually: "There is nothing about my cousin that the Third Young Master doesn't care about."

As soon as these words came out of her mouth, Xia He realized her gaffe. She quickly changed the subject and said, "The third young master has set up a swing in the back garden. My cousin can go there for a stroll if she has time."

 “There is something else to do in the yard, so I will take my leave.”

After seeing off Xia He, Jingshu leaned on the couch and read the storybook with relish.

Before leaving the imperial court, she often devoted her leisurely time to poetry, calligraphy, music, and painting. Now that she is married and has become the mistress of the Duke's palace, such leisurely time is very rare.

Ziyun has not seen her young lady so relaxed for a long time. While she was reading her storybook, she went outside to dig out a guqin that Jingshu used to play when she lived here.

“Miss, you haven’t played this piano for many years, and the strings are all loose.”

Jingshu raised her eyes and saw Ziyun walking in with Qin in her arms. She put down the small book in her hand and said hurriedly: "Bring it here quickly and let me see it."

Ziyun handed the guqin to Jingshu. Jingshu fiddled with the guqin carefully and said distressedly, "That's right. Not only are the strings loose, but the axis is also broken and there is no way to play the piano."

Ziyun sighed and said, "What a pity. This piano was given to you by the Third Young Master back then."

This time in Chaozhou, the shadow of the Third Young Master is everywhere.

It’s no wonder that children who grow up together will always have deep traces of each other in their past lives.

Jingshu replied: "No problem, you can ask the steward in the house and find a piano shop on the street one day, take this piano over and repair it."
