Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 40 It’s important to live your own life well

As he spoke, Xu Wanning couldn't help but choked up.

Jingshu advised: "If you feel it's not worth it, don't get angry."

After saying that, she pulled Xu Wanning and said, "I haven't seen you dance with a sword yet. Come on, let's go to the garden and you can practice for me."

Xu Wanning turned her attention to the long sword beside her again. She picked it up and weighed it in her hand, saying: "When I was in the boudoir, I didn't learn any of the things that women should learn about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I just like playing swords. My mother He always scolded me for this, but my father kept indulging me and teaching me moves every now and then."

Jingshu smiled and said, "No wonder your move was unusual just now. It turns out it was passed down by General Xu."

 Xu Wanning burst into tears and said with a smile: "Don't make fun of me."

Jingshu urged: "Come on, let's go to the garden. You can dance a little more to open my eyes."

Xu Wanning said coyly: "Oh, I haven't played for many years. Now I'm married, and I still wield swords and guns. What does it look like?"

Jingshu suppressed her laughter and joked, "Ouch! Didn't you just want to kill people? Now you are pretending to be a lady again?"

Xu Wanning came over and pushed Jingshu and said, "I'm so angry and you're still laughing at me."

Jingshu pulled her and walked out: "Let's go, sword dancing is more important, why are you angry with those people?"

The two pulled each other out of the house, and happened to bump into Aunt Qiu, who was guarding the door. She saw Xu Wanning striding out of the door with a sword in hand. Aunt Qiu bluffed, hurriedly approached Jingshu, and pointed quietly Pointing at Xu Wanning, he whispered: "Didn't you even try to persuade me? Madam, do you really want to kill that concubine with a knife?"

Jingshu smiled and said, "Don't worry, mama, my sister-in-law won't do stupid things just for the sake of a concubine."

Aunt Qiu asked: "Is Madam okay?"

Jingshu said: "Okay, okay, it's okay, mama, don't worry."

Mother Qiu looked at Jingshu doubtfully and asked, "Then what is she doing with the knife?"

Jingshu smiled and replied: "Let's go to the garden to dance the sword."

Only then did Aunt Qiu feel relieved. She looked at Jingshu with a smile and said: "In this whole house, apart from the old lady, we, the ladies, are the ones who listen to your advice the most. Thank you very much for this. If it weren't for your persuasion, , I think our wife is so angry that she is planning to stab that **** with a knife."

Jingshu pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Mommy, the one my sister-in-law is holding is called a sword, not a knife."

Aunt Xu laughed: "It doesn't matter what kind of sword or sword it is, it's all something that can kill people anyway." As she said that, she pursed her lips towards Xu Wanning who was walking away: "Second Madam, please follow me quickly. I'll watch. Madam was frightened when she held that thing."

Jingshu agreed, lifted her skirt and went down the steps, and followed Xu Wanning to the garden.

Xu Wanning is worthy of being a general, and her sword skills are very impressive.

Her body was light, her wrists turned lightly, her sword flashed, and her moves were fierce. The more she danced, the more she enjoyed herself. Wherever the sword flashed, grass and trees flew around, and sparrows flew away in fright.

 At the end of this sword dance, Xu Wanning was already sweating all over.

She walked towards Jingshu with light and vigorous steps. The melancholy look on her face was no longer there, and she said cheerfully: "I haven't played with a sword in many years. It's so happy!"

Jingshu smiled and applauded her, and said happily: "Sister-in-law is really good at swordsmanship, it opened my eyes!"

Xu Wanning tried the hot sweat on her forehead with her handkerchief, and waved her hands and said, "Oh, it won't work anymore. After throwing it away for so many years, I have almost forgotten all the moves, and my strength is not as good as it used to be."

Jingshu praised: "'In the past there was a beautiful lady Gongsun who moved all directions with her sword.' In my opinion, my sister-in-law's swordsmanship is not inferior to Gongsun's."

Xu Wanning smiled and said, "Don't try to make me happy."

Jing Shu said: "I'm not coaxing you, but your swordsmanship is really good."

While the two were talking, Ziyun came over. After saying hello to Xu Wanning, he said to Jingshu: "Madam, the prince is back and asked you to go back."

Xu Wanning looked at Ziyun and said, "I've only been away for a while and I came to look for him." After that, she urged Jingshu and said, "Come back quickly, or my second brother will blame me."

Jingshu replied: "He must have come to see me for something." After that, she said to Ziyun: "You go back first, I will go back soon."

After Ziyun left, Jingshu took Xu Wanning's hand and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you still angry with that Gong Ji now?"

Xu Wanning glanced at Gong Ji's residence and said disdainfully: "I don't have time to vent my anger on her. Not to mention her, even that **** Li Xian, I don't take it seriously. Dog man and cat woman Yes, let them be, what matters is that I live my own life."

Jingshu smiled and said, "That's right! I'll go back first. Just look away. Don't hold yourself back any longer."

Xu Wanning agreed: "Don't worry."

She was really angry with Li Xian and Gong Ji early in the morning. She really wanted to kill them both with a sword and fight to the death with this couple. But after spending the whole morning with Jing Shu, she didn't know how angry she was. Unconsciously Jingshu resolved.

 Jingshu, what a rare and good woman!

Looking at Jingshu's leaving figure, Xu Wanning sighed, but she had mixed feelings in her heart: If she was as considerate and talented as Jingshu, would Li Xian treat her better? Back to Qingfeng Garden, Jing Shu saw Li Ling leaning on the couch outside and reading a book.

His slender legs were placed on the couch, and he held the scroll in one hand. His eyes focused on the scroll in his hand. The autumn sunshine shone on his face through the window lattice, coating his resolute facial features with a layer of warmth. .

Jingshu said: "You came back early today."

Li Ling then raised his head and asked, "Go to Xiyuan?"

Jingshu nodded, walked to the tea table, poured a cup of tea, and drank it in one gulp.

Li Ling stood up, walked towards her, and asked, "Why are you so thirsty? Didn't my sister-in-law make tea for you?"

He had taken off his official uniform and was wearing a dark green brocade robe embroidered with dark patterns. A half-foot-wide rhinoceros horn belt stretched out his strong and straight waist. He stood in front of her, looking down at her with a little fondness in his eyes. The taste of drowning.

Jingshu smiled at him and asked: "Why are you back so early? Didn't you say that the Holy Father will have a military parade at the end of the year? How can you still hide and relax?"

Li Ling said: "Where can I hide in peace and quiet? Aren't you going to mother's place? I will go to the camp early in the morning to finish the important things beforehand, and I will do the rest after I come back from mother's place."

Jingshu said in surprise: "You want to go too?"

Li Ling half-smiled and said, "My mother likes the gift so much that I, the son, should go and say thank you in person."

In his last life, Li Ling never talked in front of her.

Jingshu likes the way he is now. It's better than keeping a straight face and being serious all day long. At least she won't feel depressed when she's with him.

Jingshu replied: "Then let's go now and come back early so as not to delay the prince's errand."

Hearing her calling him like this again, Li Ling gave him a serious look and said calmly: "Then I will order them to prepare the car."

Jingshu agreed and called Ziyun to come and freshen up.

She hastily went to Xu Wanning's place early in the morning and didn't have time to clean up properly. Now she went out and had to clean up.

The groom prepared the carriage, and Li Ling sat in the carriage and waited for a moment before he saw his young wife walking towards this side.

That graceful figure is softer and lighter than a willow, making people unable to take their eyes away after looking at it.

Li Ling jumped out of the carriage and stood quietly under the carriage waiting for her.

Jingshu walked up to Li Ling and said, "Wait a while, I'll send someone to call the third sister to see if she wants to go with her."

Li Ling's expression remained the same, but his tone changed, and he asked: "Did you order someone to call the third girl again?"

Jingshu nodded.

Li Ling said: "Shouldn't she go to official school today?"

 The official school was a school set up by the royal family of the Qi Dynasty with huge sums of money. The famous scholars of the time were invited to teach. Those who could enter the official school were all the children of princes, generals and prime ministers. Women from prominent families can also study in official schools, but they are not required to go there every day like men. There are only three or five days of classes every month.

 Seeing Li Ling frown slightly, she explained: "At this time, the third sister should have returned from the official school. Let's wait for her."

Li Ling turned to the horseman and said, "Go and prepare another car."

Jingshu asked: "Your Majesty, aren't you going to ride a horse today? It's just right for me and my third sister to ride in the same car."

Before Li Ling could answer, the third girl ran over from a distance. When she saw Jingshu, she smiled and held her arm and said, "Second sister-in-law, please wait a little longer."

Jingshu smiled and said, "No, I just waited for a while."

The third girl stepped on the car stool and got into the car. She stretched out her hand and called Jingshu: "Come on, second sister-in-law."

Jingshu took the third girl's hand and stepped on the footstool to get into the car.

The aunt and sister-in-law got into the car closely next to each other. The third girl stuck her head out and said to Li Ling outside: "This car can only seat two people. Second brother, you can ride a horse."

Li Ling lowered his eyes and his face sank.

　　Li Ling@三女: You’re here to steal someone from me again!

The third girl is wronged: it was the second sister-in-law who called me this time.
