The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 3
Zhen Guo Gongfu is the head of the Daqi gentry.Today's old lady's birthday banquet is naturally full of distinguished guests, and most of the street is lined up with fragrant cars and BMWs.

Li Ling and his cousin Li Xian greeted the male guests at the front door, while Jing Shu followed Xu Wanning to meet the female guests at the side door.

Xu Wanning is the second daughter of Duke Jing's mansion.She was wearing a luxurious dress made of Sichuan brocade today, and she looked magnificent and luxurious, but she was still compared to the unparalleled beauty of Jingshu who stood aside.

When the guests entering the mansion see the wife of the eldest son, they always have to subconsciously take a few more glances.

The bride of the Duke's Mansion was not only extremely beautiful, but also treated people with courtesy, stability and prudence, without the shyness of a bride.All the distinguished guests secretly admired Jing Shu, even if there were those who were jealous, they could only swallow the sour water in their stomachs after seeing such a radiant Jing Shu.

If it was the previous life, she would hide in front of the old lady and be a little transparent as Li Ling arranged.

It's not that she has a reserved temper and is not good at socializing, she is the eldest daughter at home.The biological mother passed away early, and the stepmother came from a humble background and was not good at socializing.Therefore, there are banquets in the mansion, and she is in charge of welcoming and sending them off.

At that time, no one in the aristocratic circle praised her for being dignified, dignified, smart and capable.

It was only later that she accidentally fell into the water while on a boat cruise with her family during the Dragon Boat Festival, and was rescued by Li Ling and lost her boudoir.This is like a perfect diamond, with a little flaw, it will be more conspicuous, and those with dark hearts will never tire of catching it.

At that time, she seemed to have fallen from the clouds to the ground, and she couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart.

After starting over, she understood: if she couldn't treat herself kindly, she would also imagine that others would treat her kindly.

Just like the current her, as the wife of the eldest son of the Duke of Zhen, standing in front of everyone glamorously, who would dare to underestimate her.

Xu Wanning was born as a general, and she is a straightforward person.Seeing Jing Shu's graceful demeanor, she likes it in her heart, taking advantage of the interval between receiving guests, she leans into Jing Shu's ear and asks: "You are still used to it when you first arrive in the mansion."

For this cousin sister-in-law, Jing Shu was grateful to her because she had been taken care of by her in the Zhen Guogong's mansion in her previous life. I haven't had time to visit my sister-in-law yet."

"Don't worry about this moment, we will have a long time together in the future. In the past, I was the only daughter-in-law in the mansion, and I was very lonely. This time it's okay. I have a companion when you come."

Xu Wanning saw that Jing Shu's complexion was much stronger than when she first entered the door. She is a person who has been here, so she naturally understands the difficulty of being a bride, but she didn't expect Jing Shu to adapt so quickly. Presumably the young couple must get along very well: "Second pair are you OK?"

Jingshu thought about Li Ling's cold temper, but couldn't think of anything good to praise him, and said, "He, is he alright?"

"The second child is cold-tempered, you should be more patient." Xu Wanning looked like a sister-in-law.

Just as the two were talking, the luan chariot of Li Ling's mother, Princess Fuxi, came from afar.

The eldest princess has been at odds with the Duke for many years.She is alone, has been living in the princess mansion, and rarely comes back.

Although they are close relatives, etiquette cannot be discarded.When everyone saw the eldest princess Luanjia, they immediately knelt down and knelt together.

Princess Fuxi has been well maintained. Although she is over forty years old, she still has charm and grace.She got out of the car slowly with the help of the maidservant, and ordered everyone to get behind her, and then headed inside without looking sideways.

When passing by Jing Shu, Fu Xi's expression was slightly restrained, he stopped slowly, nodded in approval, and said: "Today's outfit is quite suitable for you."

Jing Shu hurriedly replied: "Thank you mother-in-law for your compliment."

The eldest princess nodded slightly, and said nothing more, she was slowly entered the mansion with the help of the palace maid.

Her princess mother-in-law is not generally noble, and she is at odds with Zhen Guogong.Not to mention others, but to Li Ling, the third master and the third girl, her own children, every time she came back, she didn't say a word.

Seeing that the eldest princess praised Jingshu, Xu Wanning was surprised, but couldn't help envious of her.

It's great that the princess doesn't live in the mansion, and there is no mother-in-law to control and suppress her!

After welcoming the distinguished guests, Jing Shu followed Xu Wanning to the old lady's side to entertain them before leaving the banquet for a while.

The old lady was wearing a bright red Baifu character Di Yi, and she was in good spirits.

When everyone saw her two granddaughters-in-law, one was straightforward and capable, the other was quiet and generous, they couldn't help flattering the old man one after another: "You are really lucky, not all the top girls in Chang'an City have been suppressed. The Duke's Mansion has married. With such a good granddaughter-in-law, even the old birthday star in Antarctica is jealous."

The old lady smiled and said modestly to everyone: "How can they be as good as you boast, they are still young, and they have to practice in the future."

"The elder sister-in-law is born in the Hou family, so she is capable and knowledgeable. The second sister-in-law is just entering the house. It is really rare to have such a style of etiquette. It is still the uncle who can teach people."

The person who spoke was Zhao Yuaner, a cousin of the Duke of Zhen's mansion, the youngest daughter of the Duke of Jian's mansion.

As soon as she said this, everyone shut their mouths, and the originally bustling hall suddenly fell into an embarrassing silence.

These words are obviously a compliment to the old lady, but no one can tell that they are mocking Jingshu's low background.

Some people looked down on Zhao Yuaner's bitterness, while others secretly glanced at Jing Shu as if they were watching a show, waiting to see Mrs. Xin Shizi's joke.

In her previous life, this Zhao Yuan'er humiliated her in public like this.Not only this time, but every time they met later, she would run on her inside and out, embarrassing her.

In this life, she has to let her have a long memory.

Seeing that Zhao Yuan'er was disrespectful to her granddaughter-in-law, the old lady felt very unhappy: disrespecting her daughter-in-law is disrespecting the Zhen Guo government.

But it's not easy for her to be as knowledgeable as a child, so she looked at Xu Wanning and signaled her eldest grandson-in-law to come forward.

But before Xu Wanning could speak, Jing Shu replied: "Sister Yuan is right. As girls, we are blessed by our parents to raise us, and we study hard in our boudoirs. Isn't it just that we hope that one day we can marry into an innocent family and respect our parents-in-law? , to assist your husband, and to be loved by your in-laws. It is indeed my blessing that I can marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and have a grandmother like the old lady who teaches and cares for me.

Jing Shu paused for a moment, then continued: "This is really something that no one else can ask for."

Zhao Yuan'er was plain-looking and dark-skinned, but because she was the princess of the county, she wanted to marry Li Ling as the wife of the eldest son.How could Mrs. Li fall in love with such an immoral and ugly woman? As soon as the princess of the county confided in her, the old lady immediately refused.

Jing Shu looked at Zhao Yuan'er with a smile on her face, but the last sentence was meaningful.

The people present were all good people, although they didn't know the inside story, but seeing Zhao Yuan'er embarrassing Jing Shu in public, and Jing Shu said these words implicitly, she guessed eight or nine in her mind.

Li Ling was versatile in both civil and military affairs, and was born handsome and handsome. Back then, he was recognized as a good match among the rich and powerful in Chang'an City.

In terms of family status, the daughter of the Shen family is indeed a high-ranking girl.But in terms of appearance, talent, virtue and mind, a hundred Zhao Yuan'er can't compare with one Shen's daughter.

With Zhao Yuan'er's virtue, she dared to take the idea of ​​the son of the Duke of Zhen's family.

Really overwhelmed.

Everyone didn't show it on the face, but they looked down on Zhao Yuan'er in their eyes and hearts.

Zhao Yuan'er was so stunned that she couldn't say a word, and her already dark face became even uglier because of the blushing.

At the old lady's birthday banquet, in front of all the ladies and ladies, Jing Shu didn't want to make it too ugly.

After she finished speaking, she saw Zhao Yuan'er's face was embarrassed, so she changed the subject and said, "Sister Yuan is a noble princess, and she is straightforward by nature. From now on, she must be better than me as a sister-in-law."

Slap and give a sweet date, this is the real generosity!

Although she is a bride, she is the future headed mistress of the Zhen Guo Duke's Mansion. She has a small stomach and small intestines, and vengeance is not the demeanor that a headed family should have.

There are many distinguished guests.At least, save face.

The concubine of Jian County, Mrs. Zhao, was sitting on the sidelines embarrassing her daughter for not being able to live up to expectations. Hearing Jingshu give the steps, she immediately continued: "My mysterious girl was spoiled by our prince." She looked at her daughter and said angrily: "You should learn more from your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law in the future. If you have such a temper, what will happen if you come to your husband's house?"

Jing Shu smiled and said: "I just entered the mansion, and I am worried that I have no companion to talk to. Naturally, my sister is welcome to come and go frequently."

Mrs. Zhao pushed her daughter secretly, and Zhao Yuan'er hesitated awkwardly: "If the second sister-in-law says so, then I will often come to the house to disturb you from now on."

Without waiting for Jingshu to answer, Xu Wanning rushed to say: "I also like sister Yuan's straightforwardness, oops! It's just that this frequent coming and going is no closer than a family. If my sister can marry our Zhen Guogong, we will live together every day." How nice it is to be in one place."

When Mrs. Zhao heard Xu Wanning mentioning this again, she couldn't hold back, and Zhao Yuan'er's face became even more embarrassing.

Xu Wanning looked down on Zhao Yuan'er's defiant demeanor just because of her birth, and continued persistently: "It's a pity that our second master has already married a beautiful wife, and the remaining third and fourth masters are not yet weak. If The age is the same, the younger sister can marry here, wouldn't everyone be happy."

No matter how rampant Zhao Yuan'er was, she was still a girl who hadn't left the court. Xu Wanning was the first to marry her, and if she married her again, she was so ashamed that she almost burst into tears.

Mrs. Li hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Boss, don't make trouble with your sister anymore."

Only then did Xu Wanning stop talking.

The old lady smiled and said to the left and right: "These children, they still think about it if they don't meet each other, and they will mess around when they meet. Tell me, you won't be afraid that outsiders will laugh at you."

Everyone echoed: "No matter how old you are in front of the elderly, you are still a child, and only those who are lively and lively are like a family."

"That's right, the sisters are getting closer as they fight."

"Someone is making a fuss, it's hard for you to keep thinking about not being young."

Talking and laughing resumed in the hall, and this time it was over.

Zhao Yuan'er was so ashamed that she dared not speak again, Princess Jianjun Li was so angry with her daughter that she lost her mood, and the two found excuses to go back before the banquet started.

Mrs. Li didn't stay too long.After going through this scene, I have plans for these two granddaughters-in-law: Although the eldest grandson-in-law is straightforward and capable, she is too clear about right and wrong, and her temperament is impetuous.But this little granddaughter-in-law, seeing her coy behavior when she first entered the door, she was worried that she would be incompetent and might not be able to provoke the burden of the mistress in the future.Today, in front of everyone, I saw that she was calm and calm in dealing with things, but she was able to leave room for others at such a young age, knowing how to advance and retreat, she seemed to be a caring and energetic person.

Mrs. Li is very satisfied with this grandson-in-law.

Of course, the fact that the two daughters-in-law can share the same spirit made her even more satisfied.
