The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 141 Li Ling's Gift

As Ziyun's scissors cut open the thick package layer by layer, both master and servant were dumbfounded when they saw what was inside.

Inside the big bun wrapped in layers, there are all kinds of food, there are all kinds of candies wrapped in oil paper, different styles of snacks in boxes, and countless kinds of things that they have never seen before. A small snack with a name.

It's really a lot, I'm afraid I can't finish it in the first half of the year.

Unwillingly, Ziyunyou tossed the big stuffed bun over and over, and kept muttering, "Such a big bun is full of food? Is there nothing else?"

Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief, stopped Ziyun and said, "It seems they are all for food."

The master and servant looked at each other helplessly for a long time, and Ziyun couldn't help complaining: "There are so many business travelers from the high mountain country in Nanjun, even if we just bring back two pieces of jewelry, let's open our eyes." OK."

"This uncle, it's really boring!"

Ziyun was complaining here, and Li Ling stepped into the room.

Ziyun came to flirt with Li Ling, and this had nothing to do with the length of time she had been in contact with Li Ling following Jingshu into the Duke's Mansion of the Town. This kind of flirtation was caused by an ordinary little girl confronting a high-ranking man with majesty. The kind of timidity that comes from the heart.

As soon as she finished complaining, Li Ling came in. My son-in-law might have listened to what she had said in private to her young lady. Ziyun was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he just looked at Jingshu dumbfounded.

Jingshu naturally knew that the girls around her hated Li Ling, so she gave Ziyun a "no problem" wink to comfort her, and said in a low voice, "Go down and do your work first."

Ziyun hurriedly folded her lapels and lowered her hands, not even daring to look at Li Ling, and retreated despondently.

Only the husband and wife were left in the room. Li Ling walked up to his wife, glanced at the food piled high on the table, and said to her, "Listen to this girl, you don't like the presents I brought back?"

Jing Shu replied with a smile: "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that there are many business travelers in Nanjun, Ziyun and I thought you would bring back some Zhuchai jewelry, but we didn't expect that all you brought back were food. "

The little girl Ziyun was worried that she would offend Li Ling with her outspoken words, but a big man like Li Ling would naturally not remember what a little girl said.

Seeing that the gift his wife was looking forward to was pearl and hairpin jewelry, he replied calmly: "I also know that your daughter's family likes those flowers and pinks, but I am too embarrassed to buy these things as a grown man."

Jing Shu guessed that Li Ling couldn't let go of his figure to buy such things.

She smiled and said: "It's okay, I have so much jewelry that I can't use it up, I also like these little snacks."

Hearing what his wife said, Li Ling felt a little more docile. She chose a small snack from the pile of food, opened the oiled paper, picked out one, and stuffed it into his wife's mouth: "I know you like sweets, this is my snack. When I was patrolling the city in South County, I met Tete and bought it for you, try it, it's very sweet."

Jing Shu chewed a couple of mouthfuls, but it was very sweet, it was so sweet that her throat was choked.

Naturally, she didn't want to dislike the food he brought back for her. Jing Shuyou looked extremely satisfied, and praised: "It's really delicious and sweet, I really like it."

Seeing that his wife liked it, Li Ling showed joy on his sharp-edged face. He hurriedly picked up two more, held them to her mouth, and said like a treasure: "If you like it, eat more."

After eating one piece just now, her throat was smoldering. Seeing that Li Ling sent two more pieces, Jing Shu couldn't help but frowned.

Li Ling wondered, "What's wrong?"

Jing Shu had no choice but to open her mouth, and bit into her mouth the sweets that her husband brought to her mouth, suppressing the sweet taste in her throat, forced a smile, and said to him: "It's nothing, this little snack, It's really, really delicious."

Li Ling simply brought the package of sweets to his wife, and said the same thing: "If you like it, eat more."

Jing Shu glanced at the bulging little sweet, and couldn't laugh anymore.

Fortunately, Ziyun served breakfast in the outside room, Jingshu hurriedly said to Li Ling: "Let's eat first, I have to go to my aunt's place later."

Only then did Li Ling put down the bag of sweets, turned around and walked outside.

Taking advantage of his inattention, Jing Shu quickly spit out the little sweets he stuffed into her mouth, and quietly threw the bag of sweets on the table into the waste bin under the table, and then hurriedly followed Li Ling Go outside to eat.

Li Ling was on business, and after completing his errands in Nanjun, he had to rush back to report to the Holy Master, so naturally he couldn't stay in Chaozhou for a long time.

The uncle's family knew that their niece would go back with Li Ling tomorrow, so they were naturally reluctant, but how could a married daughter live in her mother's house forever.

Tian couldn't help crying again, pulled Jing Shu and said: "You don't know when you will meet again when you go back this time."

Seeing that his wife was a mother-in-law in front of his son-in-law, Jiang Zhao said angrily, "Shu'er will come back when I have time to spare in the future. Why are you crying to wipe away your tears?"

Tian sniffed, and rolled her eyes at her husband: "Now Gunzhou is completely lost, and the road is difficult. How can it be so easy to come back."

As she spoke, she couldn't help shedding tears again.

Seeing his mother's sadness, Jiang Youchen comforted him and said, "Although Gunzhou is lost, it is my land in Daqi, and I will recover it sooner or later. Mother, don't be sad. When the road back to Gunzhou is clear, my cousin can come back at any time. If my cousin is not free, The boy can also bring his mother to Beijing to visit his cousin and uncle's family."

Jiang Youchen, who is as gentle as he is, can always say caring words to make people obey. After listening to her son's persuasion, Tian gradually stopped crying, and then told Li Ling: "Shu'er is young, and I have to trouble the general to treat her more." Taking care of it is."

Li Ling naturally agreed, but a person like him can't say any extravagant words, so he just replied solemnly: "Don't worry, Auntie, I won't let her be wronged."

Tian ordered someone to set up a sumptuous meal in the front yard to see off the niece and son-in-law. After eating, they had to leave for the next day, so Li Ling took Jingshu to say goodbye to everyone early and went back to the courtyard where he was staying.

As soon as the two of them entered the house, the little girl who was passing by outside came in and said, "Jiang Youchen is asking to see you outside the courtyard."

Li Ling hurried out of the door again, Jiang Youchen was waiting outside the courtyard, when he saw Li Ling coming out, he greeted Li Ling and smiled, "The general and his cousin are going back tomorrow, I will give you a present here."

As he spoke, he put his two fingers by his mouth, and with the sound of a whistle, a golden falcon with a red head bent down from the sky, hovered and landed on Jiang Youchen's arm.

Jiang Youchen raised his hand to caress the falcon's wings, and said to Li Ling, "It's called 'Golden Winged Slave'. I have raised it for many years, and I will give it to General Li today."

Ordinary falcons are mostly brown or black, but this falcon is reddish gold, with round nostrils, long and sharp beaks, long and plumage wings, and is the best among falcons.

Even a thousand pieces of gold are hard to come by.

This kind of precious falcon is rare even among the dignitaries in Beijing.

Li Ling hurriedly postponed: "This eagle is really precious, and Li will definitely not accept it."

Jiang Youchen insisted: "The general and his cousin are going to cross the Gobi. The desert is difficult to travel and there are often wild animals. This thing flies high and sees far, and it is very human. If it encounters danger, it can alert the general early."

Seeing that Li Ling hadn't returned for a long time, Jing Shu opened the door and went out of the yard to look for it. Seeing the "Golden Winged Slave" hovering over Jiang Youchen's shoulders, she hurriedly hid behind Li Ling, quietly glanced at the falcon and said, "This falcon is from that year. The business traveler from Gaoshan Kingdom that my cousin rescued, the one that was given to you?"

Before Jiang Youchen could answer, the "Golden Winged Slave" flapped its wings and yelled twice at Jingshu.

Jing Shu was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind Li Ling, clutching Li Ling's clothes tightly, and hurriedly said: "Cousin, watch it quickly, don't let it peck me."

Jiang Youchen replied: "Cousin, don't be afraid, it doesn't hurt anyone. This thing is very spiritual. It recognized you and greeted you just now."

He looked at his cousin hiding behind Li Ling, and said with a smile, "I will give it to you and General Li, and let it guide you in the desert."
