The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 244 Family Letter
In Zhen Guogong's mansion, the old lady was lying on the soft couch, very listless today.

Jingshu and Murong Lizhu led Kun's brother and sister Zhuang and walked together from outside, and when they entered the Anxi Hall, the two children threw themselves on the couch happily when they saw their great-grandmother, chatting and laughing with the old lady.

Seeing the children, the old lady felt better. She quickly greeted Jingshu and Murong Lizhu and said, "It's been hard work for you two, sit down and have some tea and some snacks."

The two sat down under the old lady. Jing Shu glanced at the old lady's slightly haggard face, and said with concern: "I saw that grandma's complexion doesn't seem to be very good, but is there any discomfort? Do you want to ask the doctor to come over and feel the pulse."

The old lady waved her hand and said, "No problem, it's because I haven't slept well in the past two days."

Ever since Li Ling led the troops to march south, Jingshu has been unable to sleep peacefully every night. Murong Lizhu who was on the side glanced at the expressions of the two of them and said comfortingly: "I heard from my second sister-in-law that my second cousin wrote a letter two days ago saying that he had arrived in Gunzhou City. Besides, if it goes well, there will be news in the next few days."

After hearing Murong Lizhu's words, the old lady nodded slightly.

Jing Shu also didn't want the old man to get angry, so she also comforted her and said, "Gunzhou is my land of Daqi. Although Wang Ren turned against the water and threw himself into Gaoshan Kingdom, the people there are all of the same mind. So I was ordered to start preparing for the battle. Don't worry, grandma, this battle, my husband will definitely win."

Murong Lizhu also followed to comfort the old lady and said: "Siege is not like confrontation, second cousin is not in any danger as the coach, auntie can rest assured."

The old lady smiled and said: "I'm not worried about Brother Ling, this kid has been in battle since he was 14 years old, and he has experienced it all these years. He is a safe person, and he will be able to return safely and triumphantly."

The old lady rubbed her brows, sighed slightly, and said, "I don't know why, I have been dreaming about your elder brother and sister-in-law for the past few days, and last night I dreamed that your elder brother came back covered in water. I can't sleep well either."

Murong Lizhu listened to the old lady's words, and comforted her softly: "It's spring now, and there is no storm in the canal, even if the area around Huaiyin is not very peaceful, uncle will send people to take care of big cousin and the others. What's the matter?"

Jing Shu pinched her fingers and murmured: "Calculate the days, big brother and the others will pass Huaiyin in a few days, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Jiangdong in three to five days."

Murong Lizhu echoed: "Then in a few days, I will be able to receive the safety letter from my eldest cousin and the others. Auntie, just relax."

After hearing what the lord said, sister Zhuang slipped into the old lady's arms and said, "Great-grandmother, I miss my parents."

The old lady patted Sister Zhuang's head, comfortingly said: "Sister, be good, father and mother will be back in a while."

The old lady hugged Brother Kun in her arms again, and asked, "Do you miss your parents?"

Brother Kun acted like a young adult, and said straightforwardly: "I miss my parents too, but I won't cry. When my parents left, I promised them that I would take care of my sister."

Everyone was amused by Zhuang Ge'er's appearance, Jing Shu said: "My brother is getting more and more sensible now, and the teachers in the government school and family school often praise him for being smart and motivated."

After hearing this, the old lady finally showed a smile on her face, and said with relief, "It's a material for reading."

After hearing the old lady's praise, Brother Kun pouted: "Great-grandmother, I want to be a general like my second uncle when I grow up."

The old lady touched her great-grandson's head and said with a smile: "Even if a silly boy wants to be a general, he must read well. Your second uncle was good at reading when he was a child. Mr. Chang often praised him. He can only become successful if he is capable of literature and martial arts." General."

Brother Zhuang blinked, and although he half-understood what great-grandmother said, he still nodded.

Seeing that the old lady was in a better mood talking and joking with the children, Jing Shu brought up the matter.

She took the dowry list that she had prepared to send to Prince Yong's Mansion, handed it to the old lady and said, "Grandmother, do you think there is any addition or subtraction to this dowry?"

The old lady took the gift list, read it carefully page by page, and said with satisfaction: "You are very thoughtful, there is nothing to change, just follow this."

As she said that, the old lady handed the employment form to Jingshu again, and said distressedly: "Your sister-in-law is not here for a while, and you are busy working alone inside and out, but thank you for your hard work."

Jingshu smiled, looked at Murong Lizhu at the side and said: "Even though my sister-in-law is not here, my cousin Lizhu has been helping me, and she has shared a lot for me."

The old lady looked at her grandniece, smiled and joked: "When your sister-in-law comes back, I have to ask her to make up for you."

Murong Lizhu smiled and said: "I'm free and have nothing to do, but I'm just helping the second sister-in-law."

After getting along for a while, Jing Shu liked Murong Lizhu from the bottom of her heart. When the two of them left the Anxi Hall, Jing Shu invited her and said, "The dowry has been decided, so I can breathe a sigh of relief for a while now." Alright, it's still early, so you can sit at my place."

This Murong Lizhu is not like those cousins ​​who used to come to the mansion, who like to sneak into other people's yards at every turn. She has been in the mansion for so long, except for the third girl's yard, she never set foot in other yards, but she is really A person who knows the importance.

Left and right Li Ling was not at home, Jing Shu invited her, and Murong Lizhu readily agreed: "If you don't disturb my cousin, then I will not be polite."

Jing Shu replied with a smile: "There are so many things going on in the mansion these days, thanks to you helping me take care of them, I should have invited you to my place for a drink of tea."

The two of them were walking towards Qingfengyuan, Dan Zhu caught up with them, the little girl was out of breath, before she got close, she puffed her face and yelled: "Miss, uncle has written!"

Li Ling was away at war, but Jing Shu was looking forward to the stars and the moon, looking forward to his family letter. When she heard that it was Li Ling's letter, Jing Shu subconsciously stepped up to meet her: "Is it really your husband's family letter?"

Dan Zhu brought the letter in front of Jing Shu, and said happily: "It's from my uncle, the post office just sent it to you."

Jing Shu took the letter and looked at Li Ling's powerful handwriting on the envelope, and she felt more at ease.

Glancing at Murong Lizhu's smile, Jing Shu also realized her gaffe, she quickly adjusted her mood, pretended to calmly annoy Dan Zhu and said, "It's just a letter from home, why rush to deliver it."

Dan Zhu glanced at Jing Shu's forced calm appearance, stood aside and quietly covered her mouth and smiled.

Murong Lizhu came over and joked with a smile: "Looks like today is not a good time for me to visit my cousin's house, let's make an appointment another day."

Jing Shu took a look at Murong Lizhu: "Didn't you agree to go to my place?"

"Cousin sister-in-law should go back and read cousin's family letter first." Murong Lizhu turned and walked slowly towards her yard with a teasing smile on her face.
