Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 249 Talented man and beautiful woman

July has entered in the blink of an eye, and Li Xian and his wife finally returned to Beijing.

 The two of them returned home more than a month later than expected. After returning, they went straight to the old lady to report that they were safe.

When Li Xian and Xu Wanning returned, Jing Shu and Murong Lizhu were discussing preparations for Li Xiang's marriage in the front hall. When they heard that Li Xian and his wife had returned, they quickly put down what they were busy with and hurried to Anxi Hall.

Because they were worried that their family would be anxious, the two of them arrived in Jiangdong and did not mention anything about the dangers on the way in the letters they sent home. Now that they had returned safely, Li Xiancai told them about the dangers on the way.

Everyone was frightened after hearing this, but Li Xian spoke with great joy, as if he had experienced a blessing worthy of celebration.

"Those water bandits are all extremely vicious people. They not only want money, but also are ruthless and don't want to be left alive. I dealt with them for a long time before the water bandit leader was persuaded by me."

 “I’m going to chop you with a machete after you persuade me?” Li Xian was beaming here, but Xu Wanning interrupted him with a sneer.

The old lady clasped her hands together and muttered: "I felt uneasy just a few days after you left. I didn't expect you to encounter such a disaster. Oh my, it's my ancestor's blessing to be able to come back safely."

Li Xian said to the old lady with a smile on his face: "Grandma, this is all thanks to Wan Ning. If she hadn't had the martial arts to hold back the water bandits, we wouldn't have been able to wait for Brother Xuan who came to rescue us."

 Speaking, Li Xian looked at Xu Wanning, his eyes full of endearment: "Madam, you have great swordsmanship, and you can kill those gangsters to their death."

Xu Wanning glared at Li Xian and muttered, "If you weren't in the way, I would have killed him more happily."

It can be seen that Li Xian and his wife experienced this life and death accident, but they healed all the previous rifts between them.

Jingshu looked at the two of them and smiled: "Brother, you won't stop my sister-in-law from wielding the sword this time."

"I won't stop you anymore, I won't stop you any more." Li Xian flicked the jade bone fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Not only will I not stop your sister-in-law from practicing martial arts, I also want to practice martial arts with her this time. .”

With that said, Li Xian poked his wife beside him and asked, "Your sword skills are so majestic. From now on, you can also teach me how to dance with the sword."

Xu Wanning scolded Li Xian and said, "With how clumsy you are, I don't even bother to teach you."

The old lady saw that her grandson and daughter-in-law were no longer as black-eyed as before when they came back from this trip. The old lady felt very relieved and urged with a smile: "Grandma will be relieved to see you come back safely. Just go back and see the children."

Li Xian and his wife said goodbye to their old grandmother, and Jingshu and Murong Lizhu followed them out of Anxi Hall.

The four of them were chatting and laughing and were about to walk to the backyard when they happened to bump into Jiang Youchen who was coming to Anxi Hall.

After Jiang Youchen entered the capital, Li Lingjingshu kept him living in the mansion. The Holy Emperor's decree came down a few days ago, appointing Jiang Youchen as the deputy guard of the fourth rank. Jiang Youchen had just finished his duties in the past few days, so he brought The fruit gifts came to Anxitang to greet the old lady.

Jiang Youchen is a very polite person. Although he is Jingshu's cousin, he has been causing trouble in the house for several days. Now that everything is settled, he naturally wants to be the first to pay a visit to the old lady.

Jingshu hurriedly introduced several people.

Li Xian calmly looked at this extraordinary young man. From Jiang Youchen's demeanor and demeanor, he could see that this man would be successful in the future, so he warmly greeted Jiang Youchen and said, "I just came back. I'll be patient." Sora, let’s talk about it.”

Jiang Youchen had a warm smile on his face and agreed happily.

Everyone exchanged a few words and then headed towards their respective destinations. Li Xian and his wife were traveling the same way as Jing Shu. Xu Wanning saw Jiang Youchen's demeanor and secretly admired her in her heart. She couldn't help but ask Jing Shu: "How do you behave?" Brother, is there a marriage contract?" After hearing what his wife said, Li Xian couldn't help but said: "We just met her once, why do you want to ask her what she does?"

Xu Wanning said displeasedly: "I'm not an outsider, so I want to ask what's wrong."

Jingshu smiled and replied: "My cousin is not engaged at the moment."

Xu Wanning glanced around and whispered to Jingshu: "I think your cousin is very talented, and he is quite suitable for cousin Lizhu."

Jiang Youchen is gentle and elegant, and Murong Lizhu is dignified and beautiful, but judging from their appearance and personality, they are indeed a talented man and a beautiful woman.

Jingshu nodded slightly, and when Xu Wanning saw this, she said, "Grandma doesn't want cousin Lizhu to marry outside, and your cousin just came to Beijing as a businessman, so you might as well mention it to grandma some other time."

Jingshu thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "It's just that my cousin is only a fourth-grade military attache now. I'm afraid my grandmother will feel wronged by cousin Lizhu."

Jiang Youchen had just turned 10, and when he first entered the capital, he had to take the fourth-rank official position. This starting point was already very high, but although Murong Lizhu was a commoner, she was from the famous Murong family. The Chaozhou Jiang family and Jiang Youchen, who were from the fourth rank, were completely different from the Murong family.

This time, before Xu Wanning could speak, Li Xian on the side couldn't help but speak for Jiang Youchen: "In terms of family status, it is naturally a little worse, but since ancient times, heroes have not asked where they came from. As the saying goes, the future is formidable. This young man's future future cannot be determined now. Conclusive.”

Xu Wanning glared at Li Xian: "I just asked someone if they were married, and you were still talking about me. Now you're talking too much."

A few people were walking and joking here when Mrs. Guo rushed up with her personal nanny. Li Xian hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "How is my mother?"

Mrs. Guo had a sullen face and spat: "How are you doing? You haven't come to see me for so long since you came back. It's hard for you to still remember me as an old lady."

Jingshu saw that Mrs. Guo was making trouble again. She was afraid that her presence would embarrass Li Xian, so she made an excuse and went back to Qingfeng Garden first.

Seeing Jingshu leave, Xu Wanning said with a dull face: "The children are waiting for me, I'll go back first."

With that said, she left Li Xian, mother and son, and headed straight towards Bitangju.

Mrs. Guo glanced at her daughter-in-law's retreating back, pointed and cursed: "Look, your daughter-in-law is so rude to me, do you just open your eyes and watch?"

Li Xian looked at Mrs. Guo and said helplessly: "We just came back from my grandmother's place and were about to see you. Why don't you come here if you can't just wait in Songlet Hall. You are always so sarcastic to me." Wan Ning, how can you make others respect you?"

When Mrs. Guo heard this, her face turned pale with anger. She beat her son in front of the public and cursed: "You treacherous son, I think you are obsessed with your wife. You actually protect her like this and learn to teach her a lesson." I'm here, oh my! Second Master, if you have a spirit in heaven, just open your eyes and take a look."

Li Xian had had enough of his mother's unreasonable troubles. When he saw his mother acting recklessly in public, he impatiently flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "If mother doesn't feel embarrassed, just leave the trouble here."

After saying that, Li Xian left Guo behind and strode away.
