The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 35 Let her accompany his sweetheart to relieve boredom?
When Li Ling came back, he saw that the house was empty, so he turned back to the courtyard and asked the woman sweeping the porch, "Where is Madam?"

The mother-in-law replied respectfully: "Madam and girl Ziyun are making snacks in the small kitchen."

Li Ling went back to the house, took off his official uniform and changed into clothes.

Tired all day, but happy in my heart.

For a while, her little wife seemed to have been worrying about the affairs in the garden, and she was perfunctory and impatient with him, but today she personally cooked for him and made some snacks for him.

He likes her to be docile to him, Li Ling's mouth curled up, and he sat down and poured tea to drink.

After a while, I saw the little wife came back, and the girl following behind was holding a small bamboo basket specially used for dim sum.

Li Ling was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He asked knowingly, "I didn't see you when I came back. What did you do?"

Jingshu raised her eyes and glanced at him, and replied: "Go to the small kitchen to make some snacks." Then, she turned her head and told Ziyun: "Put the snacks on the table to dry for a while, otherwise the taste will be spoiled if you put them in a box." Worse."

Ziyun agreed to put the dim sum in the small bamboo basket on the table. Seeing Li Ling staring at the dim sum, Ziyun smiled and said, "Madam made it by herself, my son, please try a piece." She picked up a piece Handed it to Li Ling.

The dim sum is shaped like a lotus flower, and the layers of meringue are as thin as paper, wrapped in layers of red bean paste. It looks extremely delicate, because it is just out of the pan, and it still exudes a strong frankincense.

Li Ling took it and said casually, "What's this called?"

Ziyun smiled and replied: "This dessert, Madam calls it 'Lotus Crisp'."

Li Ling was about to open his mouth to try something new, but was snatched away by Jing Shu who came from the inner room.

"This is for my mother."

She moved very quickly, with a slight anger on her face, and her tone also meant to blame him.

Li Ling was stunned.

Ziyun hurriedly persuaded and said: "My lord sees that Madam's dim sum is exquisitely made, and I want to try a piece. Madam, there are still a lot here, enough for the princess tomorrow."

Jing Shu also realized her gaffe, she explained: "My son doesn't like sweets, so there is honey in this dessert."

Li Ling smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not averse to sweets."

He looked up at Jingshu, and then at the dim sum that she had taken away.

But Jingshu put the dim sum back into the bamboo basket, and said to Ziyun without paying attention, "Go and see if Danzhu and the others have brought the dim sum box? I think it's almost cold now, let's put it in a box."

Ziyun glanced at Li Ling's expression with trepidation, and said falteringly: "Your servant, go and urge me now."

After a while, a few little girls brought the snack boxes, and Jing Shu packed them carefully one by one.

There are five boxes in total.

I made five boxes of dim sum, and I was reluctant to give him a taste of any of them.

Li Ling's heart sank, but when he turned to look at his little wife's sullen face, he couldn't bear to be angry with her.

She was still young, and he, a big man, couldn't afford to get angry with a little woman for a little thing.

Li Ling got up, walked to the bed, saw the stack of ledgers, flipped through them twice, and asked, "I heard that grandma let you run the house."

Jing Shu was wrapping the snack box intently, nodding and saying yes, her face still calm.

Li Ling walked up to her and said with a smile: "If you take charge of the house, you will be the head of the house, the mistress of the house."

Jing Shu raised her head and said, "I'm just afraid that my ability is limited and I can't do well."

She was just talking in a perfunctory manner, but Li Ling opened up after hearing what she said.

He said: "You have been in the mansion for a short time and you are still young, so you don't need to have any psychological burden. If you don't do well, grandma won't blame you."

"Besides, there are Uncle Xiang and Uncle Fu below. In the past, the second aunt was in charge of the house, and she didn't worry about everything. When it came to dealing with affairs, the two housekeepers took care of the affairs before reporting to her. I don't have to do everything myself. of."

"Uncle Xiang is mainly in charge of external affairs. Like Zhuangzi, he is in charge of the affairs of the shop, and Uncle Fu is in charge of the affairs of the house. If you don't understand anything, just go to them and ask. Or, you are worried that you are young and can't handle it. If anyone who lives below dares to disobey you, just come and tell me, and I will take care of it for you, and "

Jing Shu wrapped up the snack box without distraction, smiled at Li Ling, and interrupted him: "I see, thank you, my son, for your advice."

She was interrupting Li Ling's eloquent narration, and then he closed his mouth resentfully, and stared at her with lowered eyes.

Jing Shu raised her head and asked, "Why is Shizi looking at my concubine like this?"

Li Ling took her hand, looked at her and said, "Why are you calling me like that again?"

Jingshu replied: "I'm used to it, I can't change it for a while."

Li Ling's eyes dimmed, and he said in a low voice, "Have you been mad at me for what happened that day?"

Jing Shu asked: "What is the son of the world referring to? I don't understand."

Knowing that she was pretending to be confused, Li Ling took her hand and hurriedly explained: "It was really an emergency that day, I..."

What's urgent?Are you a miracle doctor?Can you save lives by rushing over?

Just like in his previous life, when Qingluan was forced to marry, he was also desperate for her.

She is his weakness.

He just cared too much about her!
In her previous life, Jing Shu had been troubled by this matter and could not resolve it.Now, he looked away, he cared about other women, so let him go.

Now that she is married to him, she will gain a foothold in this mansion and be the head of the house.

It's fine if you don't get your true love, and she will try her best to defend her position.

"I told you a long time ago that I didn't mind what happened that day. It's the son who worried too much." Jing Shu said.

Li Ling said sullenly, "I see that you don't treat me like you used to."

Jing Shu sat down at the table, took out an account, and said casually: "There are too many things these days. First, my grandmother is sick, and now I have to learn to be in charge of the house." The ledger like a hill continued: "Look, these ledgers are enough for me to read for a few days."

Li Ling stood next to Jing Shu, patted the ledgers carelessly, and said, "Just read these things slowly when you have time, and don't rush them for a while."

"A few days ago, I handed over a sign to the palace to ask my grandmother to come into the palace to see Qingluan. This morning, people in the palace called back, saying that I can allow the two female relatives to go to the palace tomorrow."

After listening to Li Ling's words, Jing Shu's eyes moved from the ledger to his face.

Li Ling looked at Jingshu and said, "I've made up my mind, you can go with grandma in the future."

"You think I'm suitable?" Jing Shu asked blankly after hearing what he said.

Li Ling replied: "There's nothing inappropriate about this. According to the etiquette, wives are not allowed to enter the palace without an order, but since the palace has kindly granted you, you can go with grandma."

He looked at Jingshu and said with a smile: "You haven't been in the palace yet, it's good to go and see it, there are many rare things in the palace, let Qingluan accompany you and grandma to go shopping, she is alone in the palace Also boring."

Let her accompany his sweetheart to relieve boredom?
How did he come up with it!

"I'm not going!" Jing Shu replied.

No emotion could be heard in the tone, but Li Ling clearly felt her displeasure.

"Why?" he blurted out.

"I don't like to go." After that, she lowered her head and continued to look at the account book.
