Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

The moon was bright and clear. Jingshu felt so tired that her neck ached after looking through the various field deeds, land deeds and various paving deeds sent by the housekeeper Xiang Shu. Since the old lady completely handed over the power to Jing Shu, Jing Shu spent several days just checking various properties. The wealth of the property of this century-old prominent family in the Duke's mansion far exceeded Jing Shu's imagination.

The old lady has let go and handed over all the power in her hands to Jingshu, and naturally this huge family fortune has also been handed over to her.

Qingluan made such trouble twice, although it added a lot of gambling to Jingshu, as the saying goes, good fortune depends on misfortune, so she was granted the title of first-class official. The old lady did not hesitate to break the rules and hand over the power early, Jingshu On the contrary, I got a lot of benefits from it by mistake.

When Li Ling returned, he saw a mountain of various deeds piled up in front of Jingshu. He smiled and said jokingly, "Grandma really trusts you. She actually handed over all the property of the government to you."

Jingshu smiled and replied: "What? Do you think I don't have the ability to take care of it?"

Li Ling sat down next to his wife and replied with a smile: "That's not true, I'm just but you will be busier in the future?"

Jingshu poured a cup of tea for Li Ling, handed it to him, and replied: "You are right, I am afraid I really won't have the energy to take care of you in the future."

Hearing this, Li Ling scolded Jing Shu and teased: "This is not okay. You have to understand that you are my wife first, and then the mistress of the palace. No matter when, you must naturally put your husband first." Seriously, the errands in the house can be perfunctory, but serving your husband cannot be perfunctory at all."

Jingshu raised her eyes and glared at Li Ling, and said with a smile: "I don't have three heads and six arms. I'm afraid that when I get busy in the future, I will need the prince to take more care of me."

As she spoke, she called to Li Ling: "I was so tired from looking at the deed just now that my neck was sore. Please come over and squeeze it for me."

Li Ling was very pleased with his wife's coquettish behavior towards him. He stood up and walked to his side, leaned over and picked her up, and whispered: "It's not good to squeeze her here, why don't you go to the bed and give her a good rub?" ?”

Jingshu's face was slightly red, she beat Li Ling and said angrily: "It's broad daylight, can you be more serious?"

Li Ling lowered his head and put his wife's lips in his mouth. Just as he was about to take her to the inner room, the door outside was pushed open with a "bang".

“Dad, mother, what are you doing?”

 Sister Bao'er came in from outside and saw the two of them looking like this. Sister Bao's almond-shaped eyes were wide open and she asked in surprise.

Jingshu quickly slipped out of Li Ling's arms and hurriedly arranged her clothes. However, Li Ling's face was calm and he replied perfunctorily: "Your mother's feet hurt just now and she can't walk, so daddy has to hold her."

Hearing this, Sister Bao hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What happened to my mother's feet?"

Jingshu glared at Li Ling, who had deceived the child into not blushing and not panicking, and quickly replied: "Mother, I accidentally sprained my ankle just now. Now I'm fine. Sister Bao, don't worry."

Sister Bao felt relieved after hearing what her mother said. The little guy raised his head and warned Jingshu, "Mother, you should be more careful in the future."

Jingshu hurriedly replied that she knew.

Li Ling leaned over and held his daughter in his arms, and asked, "Didn't you go to Xiyuan to play with your eldest sister? Why are you back so soon?"

Sister Bao replied: "Eldest sister is going to practice the piano, so I came back. Eldest sister said tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and she will play the piano for everyone."

Mentioning this issue, Sister Bao asked Jingshu, "Mother, are we going to watch the dragon boats on the river tomorrow during the Dragon Boat Festival?" The Dragon Boat Festival is a big festival. On the Dragon Boat Festival, nobles will go outside the city to watch dragon boats, cruise boats, and put out river lanterns to pray for blessings. .

Jingshu smiled and replied: "Of course we are going. This year during the Dragon Boat Festival, our whole family will go to the river to watch the dragon boats."

 Sister Bao loves liveliness the most. After hearing the news, she immediately cheered.

Jingshu ordered the little girls to carry the deed down and put it away, and then asked Ziyun to prepare dinner. The family was about to have dinner when the mother-in-law at the door came and reported: "In reply to Madam, General Zhou just sent someone to deliver the message. It was said that my eldest aunt wanted to watch the dragon boats with us and asked if the location of our pavilion was sufficient."

Ever since Zhou Jiangning got the old lady's letter and rushed back in time to save the Zhou family's only son, the relationship between General Zhou's Mansion and the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion has become closer. Zhou Jiangning even regarded the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion as his benefactor and often interacted with him. The female relatives in the house come and go.

Because of Empress Cao's intervention, Zhao Yuan'er has now been sent to the royal temple. The general's residence has no mistress, and there are few female dependents in the residence. She wanted to watch the Dragon Boat Festival at Dragon Boat Festival and join in the fun with the Zhenguo Duke's residence.

Jingshu replied cheerfully: "Go and tell the people in the general's mansion that there is a place in the pavilion and ask the eldest aunt of the Zhou family to come. It will be lively when there are many people."

The mother-in-law took the order and left. At the dinner table, Li Ling asked casually: "The eldest aunt of the Zhou family has been in Beijing for a long time. Could it be that her husband has been transferred to Beijing?"

Jing Shu replied: "Originally, I was going to be transferred, but Zhou Jiangning offended Prince Jian because of Zhao Yuan'er's matter. This matter may be delayed. However, there is no mistress in the General's Mansion. The eldest aunt of the Zhou family is thinking I helped my mother-in-law's family sort out their household affairs, so I stayed in Beijing longer."

Li Ling sighed: "It's a pity that a hero like Uncle Zhou should end up with such a poisonous woman."

Zhou Yi repelled the Xiongnu, which was a great achievement, but he rejected Emperor Ming's invitation to continue serving as an official, and still chose to become an official.

Seeing Li Ling mention Zhou Yi, Jing Shu puzzled and said, "Looking at Uncle Zhou, he has no intention of pursuing an official career for a long time. Is this sudden request to fight against the Huns really a sudden passion?"

It is really hard for people to understand that a man who has been a general for most of his life, now that he has been discharged and returned to his field, suddenly asks for orders to go to war regardless of Ding You's presence, and then is willing to return to peace after the victory.

After listening to Jing Shu's words, Li Ling frowned, thought for a moment, and replied: "Uncle Zhou is a reserved person, and he is definitely not the kind of person who makes decisions based on whims. What he said this time is indeed difficult to understand."

“Perhaps, I couldn’t bear to see Qingluan being sent away to get married.”

It is well known that Zhou Yi was in love with the second girl of the Li family back then, but after all the changes, the beauty has long been buried. Did Zhou Yi really choose to go to war because he couldn't bear to see his sweetheart's flesh and blood suffer?

This matter is indeed puzzling, but if you think about it deeply, you can’t help but feel sad.

After dinner, Jingshu was busy packing things with the maids to prepare for the Dragon Boat Festival cruise tomorrow.

Jingshu is very attentive. In addition to preparing clothes for the children that will be purchased in the morning and evening, she also takes the time to make some pastries with her own hands during the day to satisfy the children's hunger.

Jingshu and Ziyun packed the clothes and carefully packed the cakes into the boxes. After everything was ready, Jingshu went to take a bath and rest. As soon as she got into bed, she was scooped into Li Ling's arms.

If you are disturbed during the day, you should naturally release it to your heart's content at night.
