Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 32 Any rewards from now on will be yours

Jingshu has not been close to Li Ling since she returned from Lu Park a while ago. Every time he approaches her and wants to do something, she can't help but recall the experience on the boat that day.

It happened that she was attending to the old lady's illness, but she didn't want to, so she excused herself and avoided it even though she was tired.

Li Ling understood that she was working day and night for her grandmother, so he tolerated not touching her.

Today, it is obvious that there is no way to escape.

Perhaps it was because she was in a good mood today. Although she was not as happy as before, she was not that disgusted with him and dealt with it patiently.

Afterwards, Li Ling hugged her and whispered in her ear: "Is it because you haven't practiced for a long time? Why are you absent-minded?"

Jingshu remained silent for a long time. She slowly moved out of his arms and lay back quietly on her pillow.

Li Ling thought she was tired from being busy these days, so he said, "Tomorrow, ask them to stew a bowl of bird's nest for you every day to replenish your body." After saying that, she stretched out her hand and pinched her little face gently: "Look at you. Lean."

Jingshu remained silent for a long time, then she murmured: "Tell me, isn't it good that I just accepted the garden?"

She is still worried about the garden?

Li Ling said casually: "What's wrong? Since it's mother's wish, just accept it. If you don't accept it, mother won't be happy."

Same, it is normal for a mother-in-law to give gifts to her daughter-in-law, but she is too rich and the gift she gives is too big.

 It made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Li Ling also thought of this and said with relief: "There are so many gardens under my mother's name, you don't have to worry, just keep them with peace of mind."

After listening to Li Ling's words, Jingshu's originally anxious heart finally calmed down. She turned sideways and hugged Li Ling's waist.

 Li Ling naturally took advantage of it.

At a young age, and newly married, after so many days, and now with the warm and fragrant soft jade in his arms, he naturally doesn't have enough.

Li Ling was about to bully him again when he heard the little woman lying in his arms and saying leisurely: "My mother treats me so well."

 It turned out that she was not entangled with him because of him.

Li Ling's heart suddenly cooled down.

He twitched his lips, was silent for a while, patted her hand and said, "Every time I perform meritorious deeds, I receive a reward from the Holy Father. When I was not married, I returned to the father-in-law. If I receive any reward from now on, I will give it to you."

How many can there be? How can it be compared with the garden given by my mother-in-law and the more than one thousand acres of fertile land.

 Now that she has such a rich net worth, she doesn’t even bother to care about trivial things.

"It's autumn now, and those dry and paddy fields will be harvested in a while. I have to go to the farm to take a look when I have time." Jing Shu was thinking about those properties, murmuring to herself, letting go of Li Ling again, and lying down Returned to the pillow.

She lay on her back and muttered to herself: "I see that last year's harvest recorded in the account book was good. This year's rain is good, so the harvest should be stronger than last year."

Li Ling couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his head, raised his hand and pinched her ears. He gritted his teeth secretly and said angrily: "Look at your achievements."

Jingshu's heart was filled with the garden. She impatiently took away Li Ling's hand and simply turned away, leaving only her back to him.

On the second day, just after breakfast, the messenger at Anxi Hall came over to tell the old lady that she wanted Jingshu to come over.

The old lady is considerate of the hard work of her children and grandchildren. She does not require her children and grandchildren to go there every day to pay their respects, except for the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.

Jingshu quickly packed up after agreeing. The old lady was in good health, so she originally wanted to go over and have a look.

After walking a short distance out of Qingfeng Garden, I saw Xu Wanning coming from the Xiyuan side from a distance. Jing Shu guessed that she must also be visiting the old lady, so she stood there and waited for her to go with her. Xu Wanning walked up to you and said first, "I was just going to look for you. What a coincidence, we happened to meet you."

Jingshu replied: "Sister-in-law is also going to go to grandma's place."

Xu Wanning nodded, and while walking forward side by side with Jing Shu, she asked, "Did grandma send someone specifically to let you go just now?"

Jingshu said yes and said casually: "What? Grandma also sent someone to your place?"

Xu Wanning nodded and whispered in Jingshu's ear: "Why do you think grandma specially called us here?"

 If nothing happened, the old lady would not specially send someone to invite her. Jingshu hesitated and said, "Is it because of the second aunt?"

Xu Wanning snorted and said flatly, "For her! Grandma wouldn't bother with this."

When mentioning Mrs. Guo, Jingshu asked with concern: "She hasn't called you to the family temple again this time, has she?"

"My good mother-in-law was sent to that place where no one can shit. Now she has no place to vent her anger. How can she not 'think' about me." Xu Wanning gritted her teeth and continued: "These few days have changed. People came and called me several times, but I refused every time.”

Jingshu asked: "Eldest brother didn't say anything to you, right?"

Xu Wanning sneered and said: "How can he have the nerve to talk to me?" As she said that, she pursed her lips towards the west and said: "The emperor just rewarded the beauty, and I helped her with delicious food and drinks. He has been Happy to be alive.”

“Hmph! If he makes trouble with me about his mother again, don’t blame me for being intolerant!”

Jingshu then remembered that when the Holy Emperor rewarded Li Xian that day, he sent a palace concubine as a gift.

Jingshu advised: "Just don't go to the Second Aunt to be scolded. Let's take some time to go out for a walk some other time."

Xu Wanning smiled and said, "I'm afraid you'll be busy and won't have time to hang out with me."

Looking at Jing Shu's confused eyes, Xu Wanning raised her eyebrows slightly and said mysteriously: "I guess, grandma invited us over this time just to ask you to take care of the house."

Jingshu really didn't expect this. She was surprised and said: "No way, I have only been here for three months."

Xu Wanning said with a smile: "As long as grandma takes a fancy to you, it's fine. What does this have to do with the length of time in the family? Humph! Some people are married and have grandchildren running around for most of their lives, so they still can't be trusted by the old lady. .”

 As long as you have ears, you can tell that she is talking about Guo.

Jingshu said: "Don't say that, it's not good for others to hear."

"Okay, don't mention her. I'll get angry if I mention her." After saying that, she looked at Jingshu and continued: "If you don't believe me, let's make a bet."

Jingshu smiled and said, "What are you betting on?"

Xu Wanning replied: "If grandma didn't invite us over to ask you to take care of the house, I would invite you to Fuyun Restaurant for a drink tomorrow. If so, then you can go to my place and drink tea with me to relieve boredom."

Jingshu smiled: "After all, it's you who invited me. This is a sure-profit deal for me, but you've lost money."

Xu Wanning laughed: "Oh, that's right." After saying that, she held Jingshu's arm and said, "I have good tea at my place. You can go to my place tomorrow."

Li Xiangang took a beautiful concubine. No matter how generous Xu Wanning was, she was still a woman. She was inevitably depressed. When she invited her over, she wanted to talk to her.

Jingshu said happily: "In this case, I would rather obey your order than I am respectful. If there is nothing to do from grandma, I will go to your place to taste tea tomorrow."
