The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 185 A Wife Is A Man's Taste
Li Ling clumsily placed the big red flower on Jingshu's temple.For a woman as beautiful as Jingshu, even the incomparably gaudy flowers on the hairpin have a special charm.

It's not that the flower complements her, but that her beauty complements the gaudy flower, giving it a national beauty and heavenly fragrance.

Li Ling said with a satisfied smile: "Madam is beautiful, and this flower on the hairpin will be even more beautiful like a fairy."

Jing Shu looked at the mirror, glanced at the huge silk flowers on her temples, and said with a wry smile: "It's not my beauty, but the beauty of your husband's flowers."

Seeing that his wife liked it, Li Ling was delighted. He picked up another purple silk flower, walked up to his wife, and said solemnly, "Why don't you put another one here."

As he spoke, he put the purple silk hairpin on Jing Shu's other temple.

Jing Shu looked at herself in the mirror with two hairpins full of flowers, really dumbfounded.

Li Ling was very satisfied, and said repeatedly: "My wife is really a beauty."

Except for a wry smile, Jing Shu really didn't know how to respond, she said modestly: "My husband is really ridiculous, but it's because the flowers of my husband make my body more attractive."

Li Ling smiled brightly: "Madam, wear it if you like it."

Anyway, it was just the two of them in the room, Jing Shu replied with a smile: "This flower is so beautiful, how can I be willing to take it off."

Li Ling said: "I know you like the gadgets in the antique shop on West Street. Today I came home early on purpose just to take you shopping there."

As he spoke, Li Ling took his wife's velvet cape: "Let's go, let's go right away."

Jingshu heard that Li Ling was going to take her out, so she hurriedly went to pick off the silk flowers on her head, but Li Ling stopped her and said, "Take it off carefully, it looks so good wearing it."

Jing Shu smiled wryly and said: "Since you are going out, one hairpin is enough, two hairpins will be cold when you come back at night, you can't wear a hood."

Hearing what Jingshu said, Li Ling gave up. He stretched out his hand and gently picked off the purple silk flower on his wife's temple. On this day, my wife can make hairpin flowers as she likes."

Ziyun, who was arranging dinner in the small kitchen, heard that Li Ling was going to take Jingshu out, so she hurried in to listen to the instructions. When she saw the silk flower on Jingshu's hairpin, she asked in surprise, "Miss, where did you get this silk flower? It looks good."

In the middle of Ziyun's words, she caught a glimpse of Jingshu's wink at her, because she just told Li Ling about Jingshu's preferences yesterday, Ziyun immediately realized that the flower should be bought by my uncle, and she quickly stopped talking , smiled awkwardly and said: "This servant is talking about this flower. This flower is different from the flowers you usually wear."

Jingshu blinked at Ziyun, intentionally showing a satisfied look, and replied: "My husband just bought this from outside. Of course, you haven't seen me wearing it before."

Ziyun hurriedly echoed: "I mean, it's really strange to look at. You wear this flower, it's really pretty, pretty."

The two masters and servants had a tacit understanding, and Li Ling was immersed in the joy of pleasing his wife, so he naturally couldn't perceive the mystery of it.

Ziyun glanced at Li Ling's smug face, and really regretted telling him yesterday about her girl's preferences.

This is thanks to my young lady's good looks, no matter how she dresses up, she is good-looking, if she is not as good-looking, wearing this silk flower hand-picked by my uncle will be completely ruined.

The two arrived at West Street in a carriage, and Li Ling ordered the driver to stop the carriage. He helped Jing Shu out of the carriage, and planned to take her into the alley on foot, so that his wife could go into the shop to pick things out as she pleased.

Li Ling was just about to take Jingshu away, when Cai Lun and his wife came out from the Jade Tower after choosing jewelry, Li Ling greeted him, "What a coincidence, I ran into you couple again."

Cai Lun replied: "My wife and I have just finished choosing jewelry."

When Li Ling was buying silk flowers for Jingshu, he saw his wife here. How many hours have passed, Cai Lun just accompanied his wife to choose jewelry?

Li Ling secretly admired Cai Lun's patience.

The two men greeted each other, and Jing Shu and Mrs. Cai also chatted a few words. They were not very familiar with each other, because they were talking about clothes and jewelry in front of the Cuiyu Tower.

Jing Shu saw that Mrs. Cai was wearing a brand-new jadeite peacock hairpin on her head, and said pleasantly, "This hairpin, madam, is very exquisite. Judging by the craftsmanship, it must have just been bought from the Jade Building."

Mrs. Cai glanced at her husband at the side, and replied with a smile: "Madam has good eyesight, this is what my humble husband chose for me upstairs."

Look at the aesthetics of my husband!
Hearing what Mrs. Cai said, Jing Shu remembered that she was still wearing the ugly silk flower that Li Ling had chosen for her on her head, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Cai asked Jingshu: "My humble husband and I just saw that General Li came to choose jewelry. I wonder what the general chose for his wife?"

It was originally a greeting between two people who did not know each other very well, but Mrs. Cai did not mean to embarrass Jingshu, let alone that the silk flower on her head was made by Li Ling.

Jing Shu faltered and really didn't know how to answer, so she just said perfunctorily: "I didn't buy anything, but some commonly used things."

Li Ling saw Mrs. Cai showing off the hairpin her husband had chosen, but his daughter-in-law didn't mention it. He felt a little disappointed. He couldn't help pointing to the hairpin on Jingshu's head and replied: "I just chose this silk flower for my wife. Mrs. Cai." Do you think it is suitable for my wife?"

The first time Mrs. Cai saw Jing Shu, she was always amazed by her beauty, because this person is absolutely beautiful, but the flower on the sideburns is a failure, and her flaws are not concealed.

After listening to Li Ling's words, Mrs. Cai looked intently at the hairpin, and Cai Lun followed suit.

Mrs. Cai covered her mouth slightly, and Cai Lun also smiled slightly.

Jing Shu glanced at the two of them, and made amends for Li Ling: "My husband is not good at picking things, I really make you laugh."

Mrs. Cai hurriedly said: "Madam is beautiful, even if she wears anything, she can't hide her beauty."

This is true.

Cai Lun, who was on the side, said angrily to his wife, "Whether the things are selected well or not is the second. The most important thing is Bo Yue's intentions."

After several people exchanged greetings and parted, Mrs. Cai shook her head and murmured: "General Li's wife really deserves her reputation for beauty, even with such gaudy flowers on her hairpin, there is nothing wrong with it."

As she spoke, she looked at Cai Lun with a smile and said, "Are military officers like General Li lack aesthetics?"

Cai Lun tapped the jade bone fan lightly on the palm of his hand and said to his wife, "Who says he has no aesthetics? If he doesn't know beauty, how could he marry such a beautiful wife."

"Wife, that's the best way to describe a man's aesthetic taste."

Li Ling, who was praised by Cai Lun for his taste, was not very happy at the moment. After walking away, he asked Jing Shu: "What did Cai Lun and his wife mean just now? Did you dislike the unsightly silk flowers I chose for you?"
