The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 142 Taking Back Second Aunt Guo

Because of the warmer weather, the journey back was smoother than the journey back.

It was already May when Li Ling Jingshu returned, and it was the most beautiful season in Chang'an City.

As soon as Li Ling entered the city, he ordered people to report to his home. As soon as the horses and chariots entered the alley, they saw the old lady and her family waiting outside the door. The third girl couldn't wait to run away when she saw her brother and sister-in-law. He came over and took the second sister-in-law's arm affectionately.

Zhou Jin followed Li Ling on horseback. Seeing the beautiful third girl, the boy's eyes lit up, and he asked Li Ling, "Is this girl Jin Yan? I haven't seen this girl for a long time. I can't believe it." She's a big girl now."

Children grow up fast, and the third girl has turned fourteen, and at the age of a spring onion, she looks like a slim little girl.

After listening to Zhou Jin's words, Jinyan held Jingshu's arm, looked up at him with a smile and said, "As the saying goes, women's colleges have changed eighteen times, and it's only because Cousin Zhou's old eyes are dim that I can't recognize me." .”

A slight smile appeared on Zhou Jinjun's face, and he replied, "It's just that this powerful temperament has not changed."

After walking outside the house, the whole family exchanged pleasantries, the old lady brought her grandson and daughter-in-law into the mansion lively, and the reception banquet had been set up for the two of them in the front hall.

Jing Shu followed Li Ling back to Qingfengyuan to change clothes and take a rest for a while, then the two rushed to the front hall together to have dinner with their families.

It took two or three months for the grandson and the granddaughter-in-law to leave, how could the old lady not think about it, as soon as the two of them entered the hall, the old lady greeted the granddaughter-in-law and said, "Shu'er, come sit next to grandma, let I'll take a good look at it."

Jing Shu obediently sat down beside the old lady, Xu Wanning hurriedly sat down next to Jing Shu, the third girl took a step away from her sister-in-law, and had to sit under her grandmother.

For the first time today, fourth master Li Yu is not too late.Uncle Li Xian, on the other hand, waited for him for a long time before arriving late.

During the dinner, Jing Shu glanced at Li Xian's gloomy look, and quietly asked Xu Wanning who was beside her: "Brother, what's wrong? You don't seem very happy, but what happened?"

Xu Wanning glanced at Li Xianbai, leaned into Jing Shu's ear and said, "What could be the matter, isn't it my mother-in-law, she's been acting like a monster these days."

Jingshu pressed her voice and asked, "Did Second Aunt make things difficult for you again?"

Xu Wanning groaned, and replied quietly: "This morning, someone came from the family temple to spread the word, saying that my mother-in-law was very ill. Why didn't she do it like this? She just wanted to come back. I don't know." Didn't try to get in trouble."

She glanced at Li Xian: "He went by himself."

Such a mother at the booth is enough for Li Xian, but he is also a foolish and filial person who can't understand clearly. As long as his mother cries and makes trouble, he will lose his sense of proportion.

When the banquet was halfway through, Li Xian knelt down in front of the old lady in front of everyone, and said with a sigh: "Grandmother, my mother has been thinking about it for seven or eight months at the family temple. Mother is old and weak, and she has been a widow for father for so many years, please forgive mother."

"I beg my grandmother to let my grandson bring my mother back to fulfill my filial piety as a son of man."

As he spoke, he shed tears.

Now, in front of the whole family, the grandson is already begging so much, if the old lady refuses to do so, it will appear that she is mean.

No matter how confused the Guo family is, she is the righteous daughter-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo, the widow of his late son, and the biological mother of her eldest grandson.If the old lady doesn't want to see her again, she won't leave her in the family temple forever.

It's just that the grandson's daughter-in-law just took charge of the family a while ago, and the old lady has been the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Guo Shi for decades, so she knows her daughter-in-law's temperament best.If she was released early, there might be some troubles. The Guo family has taken root in this mansion for decades, and the young granddaughter-in-law has just taken charge of the family, so how can she beat her, so she has been delaying.

Right now, since the grandson is begging her on his knees in front of the whole family, the old lady will naturally not lose face to her grandson. She put down the jade chopsticks and said to her eldest grandson, "Grandmother knows you are filial, let me let you go." It's fine for her to come back, but you have to know it in your heart, it's right to be filial to your elders, but if you're filial to the point where you can't tell right from wrong, then it's too much, that's foolish filial piety."

Seeing that his grandmother finally agreed to let his mother come back, Li Xian agreed with tears in his eyes: "Grandmother teaches, grandson will always take it to heart."

He bowed his head deeply towards the old lady: "Grandson thanks grandma."

The old lady replied: "Forget it, if you can arrange the backyard well, and don't disturb the house, that would be the best thank you to grandma."

The old lady waved her hand: "Tomorrow, go to the family temple and bring your mother back."

Li Xian got up, wiped away his tears, and sat back down again. His face was no longer as ugly as before, but this time it was Xu Wanning's serious face.

Xu Wanning rolled her eyes at her husband, and muttered in a low voice: "It's only been a few days of comfort, but there will be trouble again in the future."

As expected, what she said was true, Li Xian happily went to pick up his mother from the family temple early the next morning, and before Xiangwu, Mrs. Guo returned to the Songle Hall in Xiyuan.

Guo's mind is narrow, he is the kind of person who forgets to eat but not beats.

She had just entered the Songle Hall, and before she could sit firmly on the couch, she asked her son with a sullen face, "You went to pick me up early in the morning, but your daughter-in-law didn't go either. Now that I'm back, why don't you see me?" Her half figure?"

He gave his son a blank look: "Does she still have me as a mother-in-law in her eyes? Do you want me to go over and greet her?"

Li Xian hurriedly comforted his mother and said: "Sister Zhuang is going to take a nap at the moment, so she has to put the child to sleep before she can come here free."

Mrs. Guo snorted coldly, and said angrily: "You are really promising, so you know how to protect her."

As she said that, Mrs. Guo greeted Madam Xu, who came to serve by her side, and ordered: "Go to Bitangju and call my good daughter-in-law, I want to ask her why I didn't see her come to say hello after I entered the house. "

She spat, and said bitterly: "This is the rule of the Duke of the Town. How dare a daughter-in-law not keep her mother-in-law out of sight. Such a daughter-in-law should be disciplined."

As she said that, she glared at Nanny Xu: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you go!"

Nanny Xu hastily agreed and went out.

Mrs. Guo glanced at her son standing aside: "Today, I have to set good rules for your unseemly daughter-in-law."

Li Xian stood aside with drooping shoulders and drooping face, not daring to say a word.

Xu Wanning was sitting on the couch coaxing Sister Zhuang to take a nap, when she looked up and saw Madam Xu entering the yard, there was one head and two big ones.

Worried about waking her daughter up, she got off the ground and put on soft shoes to welcome her out.

When Mother Xu saw Xu Wanning, she sighed and said, "The second wife is back, waiting for you in Songle Hall."

Now that the troublesome mother-in-law was picked up by her husband, she had nowhere to hide even if she wanted to. Xu Wanning said helplessly, "Come here after I change clothes."

Nanny Xu agreed: "Hurry up, don't make the second wife wait in a hurry."

When Xu Wanning changed her clothes and came to Songle Hall, Mrs. Guo became impatient and pointed at her son and scolded: "I said, are you a daughter-in-law who is sincerely playing tricks on me? She is someone else's daughter-in-law, and she still has to do it!" Is my mother-in-law waiting for her to come back here? It’s really unreasonable! Is there any etiquette in this dignified Duke’s Mansion?"

Seeing that Xu Wanning had finally entered the courtyard, Mother Xu hurriedly advised, "Second Madam, Madam is here."

Only then did Mrs. Guo stop talking, straightened her clothes, sat in the first place, and put on her mother-in-law's score.
