Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 130 Is your cousin engaged?

 After dinner, Li Ling and Jiang Youchen drank tea with their uncle. After a tiring journey, Jing Shu first took Ziyun back to Jingnu Garden.

Ziyun couldn't hide his excitement when he looked at the familiar house, and said excitedly: "When I come back here, I feel surprisingly at ease."

Jingshu sat in front of the rhombus mirror, and Ziyun walked up behind her. While helping Jingshu disassemble the jewelry, she said: "Today, the old lady mentioned the matter between you and the third young master at the banquet. Although she was confused, but It’s nonsense, but when I glanced at my uncle, his expression didn’t look good.”

Jingshu was sitting next to Li Ling and naturally noticed this. She laughed sarcastically: "This man is just jealous."

Ziyun smiled and said, "This is because I care about you."

As she said that, she sighed leisurely: "The third son of our family is so handsome, and he is both civilized and martial arts. Besides, you grew up together by my uncle's side. We are really childhood sweethearts. I don't blame my uncle for wanting more." Heart."

Jingshu joked: "That's right. In terms of affection, cousin Chen and I have a much deeper affection than my husband has with the princess cousin."

“Although they are double cousins, we only see each other once every three to five years, but we have grown up together.”

Ziyun quickly advised: "Miss, please don't be so angry with me. My uncle's temper must be taken seriously."

"Besides, you can also see clearly how the Ninth Princess came to the house to treat her before she left home. My uncle was only willing to protect her out of love for my sister-in-law and out of responsibility. As for the rest, I It’s good to see that my uncle is not tired of the Ninth Princess.”

"As for you and the third young master, they are different."

Jingshu turned her head and looked at Ziyun and said: "It is true that the ninth princess is not in my husband's heart, but the ninth princess is thinking about her husband to the point of going crazy."

She said with a little disdain: "Cousin Chen and I are innocent brothers and sisters, but our relationship is more pure than theirs."

 “Wish you all the best, uncle.”

The master and the servant were chatting here, when they heard the voice of the gatekeeper outside and Li Ling's footsteps coming in.

Knowing that Li Ling had returned, Ziyun immediately stopped talking, and whispered in Jingshu's ear with a low voice: "My uncle is leaving tomorrow, you have to speak out tonight, otherwise with my uncle's temper, I'm afraid that This business trip is going to be extremely difficult."

Jingshu suppressed a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm still waiting for him to finish the mission and get the reward. I won't let him leave with worries."

As he spoke, Li Ling raised his legs and walked into the inner room. Ziyun raised his eyebrows and bowed his hands before respectfully retreating.

 The couple were the only ones left in the room. Li Ling sat down at the tea table and poured himself a cup of tea.

Jingshu glanced at him through the crystal mirror and said, "Have you been drinking tea with your uncle and cousin in the front hall for so long, haven't you had enough?"

Li Ling replied: "You are just talking. My uncle is a talkative person."

Jingshu looked in the mirror and replied: "My uncle is not a talkative person. He just likes you as his new son-in-law, so he talks a lot."

Li Ling said "Oh", stood up and walked to Jingshu, looked at her and asked: "How did you know that my uncle likes me?"

Don't look at Li Ling, who always has a cold face on weekdays, with a cold and dignified appearance, and behaves in a paternalistic manner. In fact, in private, he often shows his childish side in front of her.

Jing Shu glanced at his eager look, feeling amused in her heart, but holding it back on her face, she replied seriously: "I grew up with my uncle and aunt since I was a child, can't you see this? Not to mention my uncle, even my aunt and two All my cousins ​​are extremely satisfied with your new son-in-law."

After saying that, Jingshu turned around and took her husband's hand, looked at him with watery eyes, and praised him unstintingly: "My husband is handsome and of noble birth. He has become a successful man with his ability at a young age." A general of the second rank, in charge of such an important task as the city patrol department, is so capable, how can it be achieved by ordinary people?"

"What's even more rare is that you are so outstanding, but you don't have any airs. You are courteous and courteous to others, without any arrogance, and you treat your wife sincerely. In the whole world, I am afraid that there is no such thing as a good man like my husband. Found it."

"You are so good, your uncle and aunt can naturally see it, how can they not like you." His wife would always praise him to the extreme, how could Li Ling not sense the hint of flattery in this.

　　However, even though he understood that his wife had intentions, Li Ling never tired of hearing her praises. Hearing her praise him made him more obedient than receiving a reward from the emperor for his military exploits.

Li Ling's cheeks were slightly red, he scratched his head, grinned at his wife, leaned over and kissed her deeply on the forehead.

Jingshu pushed him and said, "You have to go on a journey tomorrow. Go wash up quickly and settle down early."

Li Ling reluctantly got up and went to the bathroom.

Within a moment, Li Ling's voice came from the bathroom: "Madam, come here."

Jingshu turned her head towards the bathroom and asked, "But did you forget to bring your pajamas?"

Li Ling replied: "Come here for a moment."

There was a hint of pleading with her in his tone.

Jingshu didn't know what he was thinking. She felt helpless, but she had nothing to do with this husband who occasionally acted childishly.

He was leaving tomorrow, and she was willing to make him happy this night.

Jingshu stepped into the bathroom, where Li Ling was leaning on the tub. Jingshu took the bath towel beside him, walked around behind him, and helped him rub it carefully.

Li Ling had a strange habit. He never let his maids come near him when he was bathing. He even never let other women come near his study, with the exception of Jing Shu.

Especially when taking a bath, he always likes to have her by his side.

 It seemed as if the bath was particularly pleasurable after she served him twice.

Jingshu wiped his body carefully and urged: "Come out and go to bed early to rest."

Li Ling refused to come out. He held her hand and said, "I had a few drinks with my uncle today and I have a headache now. Can you please help me press it again."

Jingshu patted his strong back and said softly: "It's not good to soak in the water for a long time. Come out and I'll go to the bed to massage you."

 Li Ling can pamper her, and Jing Shu is also willing to coax him when he is childish. Husband and wife should respect each other, love each other, give to each other, and nourish each other. Only in this way can the relationship last long.

Hearing what his wife said, Li Ling stood up and stepped out of the tub very obediently. He stood in front of her with his hands hanging down, waiting for his wife to come and serve her.

Jingshu took the bath towel and carefully wiped off the water droplets on his body. She unfolded her dry bed clothes and helped the grown man put them on before turning around and leaving the bathroom.

Li Ling touched his nose and followed his wife to bed obediently.

Jingshu leaned on the head of the bed, with Li Ling on her lap.

His wife's soft, boneless and slender hands slowly pressed his two acupoints, and Li Ling's face showed great pleasure.

When Jingshu pressed her until she was about to fall asleep, Li Ling, who was lying on his lap, squinted his eyes and asked, seemingly unintentionally: "Ah Chen is already twenty after this year, has he made an engagement? "
