The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 183 Inquiring About His Wife
Li Ling, who was being used by Xu Wanning to intimidate Guo Cuiyan, had just returned from the camp.

He strode back to Qingfengyuan, and as soon as he entered the gate, he caught a glimpse of Ziyun coming out of the main room. Li Ling waved towards Ziyun.

Ziyun knew that this was the uncle who was going to interrogate her young lady again this day, so she walked up to Li Ling tacitly.

Sure enough, Li Ling spoke the old saying that he would ask every day when he came back: "How is Madam today?"

Ziyun replied truthfully: "Madam has been managing affairs in the front hall for the first half hour, and took a nap after coming back in the second half hour, and now she is reading a book in the room."

Li Ling asked again: "Was there anyone who dissatisfied with Madam when you were a council member in the front yard?"

Ziyun thought for a while, shook his head, and replied truthfully: "No one dared to disobey Madam. In the past, the second wife, Mrs. Guo, always came here to ask for this and that. Since the uncle fell ill, the second wife has rarely I ordered people to come over to bother Madam, but today I ordered people to come back to Madam, saying that if we go to the female relatives in our mansion for winter hunting, Second Wife wants Guo Biao girl to follow, Madam did not respond, and Second Wife will not be very happy."

Hearing this, Li Ling's face darkened, and he asked again: "How is Madam's diet today?"

Ziyun told Li Ling about Jingshu's diet today.

After listening to Ziyun's words, Li Ling saw that his wife was indeed much better these days than before. He nodded slightly, handed the big steamed stuffed bun snacks to Ziyun, and said, "This is Zhen Cake that Madam likes to eat." , you take it and cut it up."

Ziyun took the big steamed stuffed bun, Zhen Cake, and it was heavy in his hand, weighing three to four catties.

She couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and said to herself: This uncle is really stubborn, if you want to please the lady, you can't just buy food and coax him, and you always buy so much, my lady is not really a glutton of.

Seeing how straightforward my uncle is, Ziyun finally couldn't help but suggested: "Madam has a delicate heart and prefers novelty things. If the son wants to make Madam happy, why not use some other methods."

These days, Li Ling is racking his brains to comfort his wife, but he is really not good at coaxing women, so all he can think of is buying her favorite food to coax her.Now, he has bought all the snacks in Chang'an City, and he is also worried about it. After hearing Ziyun's suggestion, Li Ling asked quickly: "Ziyun, you have been following Madam, so you know her better than me." Please tell me quickly what Madam likes."

Ziyun replied: "Madam likes such elegant things as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and also likes the exquisite and rare gadgets in the antique shop on West Street. She also likes shopping, and also likes to go to the Rouge jewelry store to pick out things she likes."

Li Ling scratched his head and said to himself, "So that's how it is."

Ziyun glanced at the uncle's foolish appearance, and was really worried for him.

Li Ling pondered for a while, then asked Ziyun, "A while ago I took my wife to play in the ice, and I took her to the camp to watch the soldiers practice. Doesn't she like it?"

Although Ziyun never heard Jingshu complain about this to her, but that day her young lady went to the camp with the eldest son for a day, and when she came back, she had to bathe several times before giving up.Those soldiers in the barracks practiced in a dusty sky, and my daughter has always liked cleanliness, so how could she bear it.Besides, Miss has a gentle and demure temperament, only loves red makeup, and she is not as martial-minded as Da Furen.Take her to the barracks to watch those rough guys practice, thanks to how this uncle thought of it.

Ziyun smiled wryly, she also knew that my uncle was trying so hard to please his young lady, it would be hard to tell the truth to disappoint him.

Ziyun only hesitated and said: "I didn't hear Madam say I like it, but I didn't hear her say I don't like it either."

Li Ling scratched his head and pondered for a while, then replied to Ziyun, "I see."

Ziyun gave a slight blessing to Li Ling, and was about to step back and cut cakes for Jingshu, only to hear Li Ling say again: "Thank you for telling me this, if you think about what else Madam likes, tell me anytime you think of it. "

Ziyun readily agreed, and Li Ling strode towards the main room.

When he reached the door, Li Ling didn't rush in. He leaned on the window next to the door and looked into the room, wondering if his little wife was feeling sad again when she was alone.

Seeing her just leaning on the couch and reading a book, Li Ling's heart finally settled down a little. He opened the door and entered the room, showing a hearty smile to his wife: "I'm back, it's really cold today."

Jing Shu raised her eyes to see Li Ling's return, she quickly got up and went to the ground to help her husband change his clothes, just as she reached out her hand, Li Ling grabbed her, and then he leaned over and kissed her on the forehead.

Jing Shu smiled and helped him take off the cloak, Li Ling leaned over and carried her back to the warm couch.He was sitting beside her, chattering with his wife about what happened to him in the camp that day.

Although Jing Shu was not very interested in these things, she also knew that Li Ling, who was originally reserved, was deliberately looking for something to talk to her. Knowing his painstaking efforts, Jing Shu leaned on the couch and listened quietly.

The two were chatting here, when Ziyun came in with the cut cake, put it on the small table on the side of the slump, smiled and said to Jingshu: "This is the cake that the son of heaven bought for you when he came back. Wrapped in layers of oil paper, it’s still warm.”

Li Ling tied a piece with a small bamboo stick, handed it to Jingshu's mouth, and said with a smile: "I know you like sweets, eat some while it's hot."

Jing Shu took a sip and praised: "This tastes very good."

As she spoke, she said to Li Ling, "Take a bite too."

Although Li Ling doesn't like sweets, after hearing what his wife said, he obediently accompanied Jing Shu to eat.

Before they knew it, the two ate up a plate of Zhen Cake.

Ziyun, who was standing aside, asked: "My son bought a lot back, I'll cut some more."

Jingshu replied: "No need, I can't eat anymore."

Li Ling remembered that just before entering the house, Ziyun mentioned to him that Mrs. Guo begged Jingshu to let Guo Cuiyan follow her to Dongwei, and he said to Ziyun, "You will let the passer-by go to Songle Hall to return to Second Aunt. , It’s just what I mean, our family can only go to three female relatives in winter hunting, and we can’t bring Miss Biao.”

Ziyun glanced at Jingshu, and readily agreed to go on.

Jing Shu smiled and said to Li Ling: "I can handle this trivial matter, so why do you have to be a villain for me?"

With a sullen face, Li Ling said angrily, "I didn't know that my second aunt would trouble you again and again. This second aunt is getting more and more confused as she gets older. It's nothing more than bullying her own daughter-in-law, but she dared to bully you."

Guo Shi is indeed difficult to deal with, but she dares her daughter-in-law Xu Wanning to be true, and she still has a lot of scruples about Jing Shu, but she just comes to ask her for some benefits and privileges from time to time based on her status.

Not to mention bullying her.

As he said that, Li Ling patted Jingshu and said, "Don't be afraid of her. If she comes to trouble you again in the future, just tell me and I'll deal with her."

Ever since she suffered this setback, Li Ling was always worried that someone would bully her, and he really wanted to put her in his mouth to be at ease.

Jing Shu was submissive in her heart, and said to Li Ling: "Don't worry, I'm not that useless. I can handle these trivial matters at home."
