Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 138 Lovesickness

The group of people returned to Jiang Mansion. As soon as Ziyun helped Jingshu get out of the carriage, the doorman came up to him and handed a letter to Jingshu: "Miss Cousin, your letter."

Jingshu quickly took it, and when she saw the words "My wife, Shu'er, personally express" on the envelope, a sweet smile appeared on her face.

When everyone entered the courtyard, Mrs. Tian called to the juniors and said, "You have been tired for most of the day. Let's go to my place and have some snacks before going back. Yesterday I ordered the kitchen to steam glutinous rice cakes."

Everyone agreed, but Jing Shu politely refused: "I'm a little tired and not hungry. I'll go back and rest for a while, and then come back in the evening."

She had just received a letter from Li Ling and was in a hurry to go back and read it. She had no time to eat glutinous rice cakes.

Ms. Tian didn't understand what Jingshu was thinking, so she advised, "Go to my place and then come back after eating. I specifically asked them to make your favorite red date bean paste for you."

Jiang Youchen, who was standing next to Tian, ​​saw this and said to his mother: "Since my cousin is tired, let her go back to rest. If my mother feels sorry for her cousin that she can't eat the glutinous rice cake, she can just order someone to send it to her house later." .”

Hearing what his son said, Mrs. Tian stopped insisting and said, "Then you go back and rest first. I will order someone to send it to you later."

Seeing that Jingshu was about to leave, she couldn't help but remind her: "Our family is having a reunion dinner tonight, so you should come over to my aunt early."

Jingshu agreed and said goodbye to everyone, turned around and hurried back to the yard.

 When she entered the house, she didn't even bother to take off her coat, so she hurriedly opened the letter.

　　　 Still so few words.

 The errand went well. You will arrive in Chaozhou in five days and wait for me.

Ziyun helped Jingshu undress, glanced at the few words on the letter, and couldn't help but look disgusted.

It has been half a month since we were separated, and there are two letters in total. Each time there are only a few words, and I don’t know how much I thought or read them.

It’s so boring!

Jingshu noticed Ziyun's disdain and said the same thing as before: "It's not like you don't know. My husband is a slow-talking person."

 The kindness her husband treats her is all in his actions, so how can others understand it?

After saying this, Jingshu ran to the inner couch again, holding the letter like a treasure and reading it over and over again.

 The smile on his face is so sweet that it can be soaked with honey.

　　After looking at it for a while and laughing for a while, she put the letter on her chest again, pouted and murmured to herself: "I still have to wait five days, so long."

She has been separated from Li Ling for less than half a month. During this period, she has really realized that one day without seeing her is like three autumns, and that one day is like a year.

 She really missed him.

In her previous life, Li Ling often had to go out. Sometimes he would go on an expedition and it would take a year and a half to return. She didn't think about him like this.

She missed the sense of solidity brought by him holding her tightly, and his hot chest. Even if he looked silly occasionally, or teased her childishly from time to time, she found it cute.

As she thought about it, the corners of her mouth showed a graceful curve again, and her face was filled with sweetness.

Ziyun, who was busy cleaning up at the side, saw his young lady lying there with a sad face for a while, and a sweet face for the next. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This time I took back my uncle's letter, I was even more stupid than last time. sick.

Ziyun was secretly laughing at Jingshu here. He raised his head and saw the big girl beside Tian from a distance, walking into the yard with a food box.

Ziyun hurriedly put down her work, opened the door and went out.

The eldest girl saw Ziyun and said with a smile: "I am sending glutinous rice cakes to my cousin as ordered by my wife."

Ziyun took the glutinous rice cake, and the girl subconsciously glanced into the room and whispered: "Is my cousin asleep?" How could Ziyun have the nerve to tell people that her master was holding a letter from her uncle and was feeling lovesick inside? , just said perfunctorily: "Yes, the lady fell asleep when she came back from exhaustion."

Hearing what Ziyun said, the girl didn't doubt that he was there, and whispered: "Then I'll go back first. After my cousin has rested, you can go to the front to eat early in the evening."

Ziyun agreed and returned to the house with the glutinous rice cake. Seeing Jingshu still lying on the couch and looking at the letter, she really couldn't help it. She stepped forward and took the letter from her hand: "The last letter was still ten There are six words, but this time there are four missing, and you are even more fascinated by it."

Jing Shu was not annoyed, she looked at Ziyun with a smile on her face and said, "He said he will return after five more days."

Ziyun gave her an angry look: "It's just a few words, and I can see it at a glance."

She pushed Jingshu and said, "My uncle has ordered someone to deliver glutinous rice cakes to you. After walking on the mountain road for half a day, you haven't eaten anything in the afternoon, so hurry up and take a few bites to fill your stomach."

Jingshu then got off the ground, walked to the table, sat down and ate glutinous rice cake, and then she felt tired.

She put on her pajamas and went to bed, intending to take a nap. As soon as she closed her eyes, she couldn't help but take out Li Ling's letter from under the pillow. She read it over and over before closing her eyes and falling asleep with satisfaction.

After taking a nap, Jingshu got up and tidied up, then rushed to her aunt's place in the front yard.

She and Ziyun had just left the courtyard gate when they happened to meet Jiang Youchen who was coming out of the courtyard.

 When he was a child, in order to make it easier for him to take care of his two young children, Tian moved their courtyards next to each other.

Jiang Youchen saw Jingshu, with a warm smile on his face: "I have been walking on the mountain road for most of the day, have you rested my cousin?"

Jingshu also had a warm smile on her face and replied: "I just slept for a while and feel much better."

 The two of them stopped talking and walked to the front yard together, one behind the other.

After a few days of nursing, Mr. Jiang, who had been ill, has recovered. At this family dinner, the Jiang family is the best.

During the Cold Food Festival, although you can only eat cold food, it is also lively when the whole family gathers together.

At the table, Mrs. Tian glanced at Jing Shu and said, "Since I came back from the mountain, how can I see Shu'er so happy? But is there any happy event?"

As soon as these words came out, Jingshu's cheeks turned slightly red and she hesitated: "What's the happy event? Maybe I went out for a walk with everyone in the morning and my heart became brighter."

Ziyun, who was standing beside Jingshu, heard this and covered his mouth and snickered.

Seeing the appearance of the master and servant, Mrs. Zhang asked, "I saw that Shu'er had received the letter when she came back, but is it my uncle who is here?"

Jingshu lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "It's him."

 Zhang smiled and asked, "But my uncle is coming back?"

Jingshu's cheeks were slightly red and she replied like a mosquito: "I said I'll be back in five days."

When Jiang Zhao heard that his niece-in-law was coming back, he told his youngest son, "Sanlang, you will accompany your cousin to the city to welcome my uncle in the next few days."

Jiang Youchen replied "Okay".

His face still had a calm look, making it impossible to see any flaw. Jiang Youchen picked up the wine bottle on the table, filled a glass of sake, and drank it all in one gulp.

This wine is green plum wine drunk during the cold food festival. The wine has a light taste and is not strong. As the wine slowly enters his stomach, Jiang Youchen feels his throat is burning.
