The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 56

After a while, the two little girls came out with a set of thick quilts.

Ziyun took the quilt, folded it up neatly and tied it with cloth tape, Danzhu asked: "Sister, where do you want to send this quilt?"

Ziyun was busy with his hands, and replied, "I will send it to my uncle in a while."

As soon as the words fell, Bi Li waved her hands and said, "Sister, don't ask me to deliver it this time."

Ziyun gave her an angry look: "You can't go even if you want to go this time."

Bilu looked at Danzhu subconsciously, only to hear Ziyun continue: "We can enter the important military camp." Saying that, she greeted the two little girls: "Let's go, come with me."

Dan Zhu Bilu carried the wrapped quilt and followed Ziyun all the way to the front yard. Ziyun and the steward inquired about Ling Xiao's residence, and knocked on the door with them.

Ling Xiao used to be the little eunuch who served the eldest princess. Seeing that he was quick-witted, the eldest princess ordered him to work beside Li Ling. Today Li Ling is not in the mansion, so Ling Xiao naturally does not need to go to the study to serve him. He is about to lie down and sleep. Ziyun was a little surprised.

"Why did sister call me?"

Ziyun smiled and said: "My son has been busy with errands for the past two days, and he has to sleep in the camp at night. My wife was worried that he would catch cold at night, so she ordered me to bring a thick quilt, and trouble my father-in-law to run over and send it to my son." .”

Ling Xiao smiled and said: "Madam really cares about our son."

Ziyun smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.

Ling Xiao took the quilt from Dan Zhu Bilu's hand: "The little one will ride a horse and send the quilt to the eldest son."

Ziyun said with a smile: "In this way, there will be Mr. Lao."

Holding the quilt in his arms, Ling Xiao walked out, then turned to Ziyun and said, "Girl, do you have anything else to say to the eldest son?"

Ziyun lowered her eyes and said to him, "Just tell Shi Ziye that Madam hopes that he will finish his business and come back soon."

"Okay!" Ling Xiao hugged the quilt and disappeared in a moment.

Xu Shi slept too much in the second half of the day, and after finishing the accounts, seeing that it was getting late, Jing Shu still didn't feel sleepy.

She put on a shawl and pushed open the door. There were scattered snowflakes outside, and a thin layer had already accumulated on the ground.

Ziyun was about to check the night, when she saw Jingshu coming out, she stepped forward and said: "It's cold at night, Miss, go back to the house."

Jingshu gathered the shawl on her body, and replied: "I'm not sleepy yet, I'll go with you to check around."

Ziyun brought the glazed cup, and the master and servant left Qingfengyuan.

From a distance, I saw a tall figure walking towards this side against the wind and snow.

"It's uncle!" Ziyun glanced at Jingshu and whispered joyfully.

Jing Shu naturally recognized Li Ling, and she stopped in her tracks.

Li Ling walked closer, his eyes swept over Jing Shu, and he lowered his eyes and asked, "It's so late, what are you doing?"

Jing Shu stood there silently, not intending to talk to him.

Ziyun hurriedly replied: "Recently, my mother-in-law who went to the night often slacked off drinking and playing cards. Madam should go and check in person."

Li Ling nodded slightly and said nothing.

Jing Shu took Ziyun and continued towards the front yard. After walking for a while, Ziyun turned around and saw Li Ling still standing there. After a while, he actually followed them over.

Ziyun secretly rejoiced, and leaned into Jingshu's ear and whispered: "Young master is following behind."

Although Jing Shu didn't know why he came back suddenly and why he followed them, she could see that he was still angry with her.

Jing Shu turned her head and glanced at Li Ling who was following far behind, and it was exactly as he said.

He will stay away from her from now on.

When we got to the door of the second room, we heard the voice of the mother-in-law Xu Xu coming from inside. If you listen carefully, it means that you are playing cards.

Jingshu stood on the porch, Ziyun stepped forward and knocked on the door.

There were five or six women gathered in the side room, and the stove was burning warmly with charcoal, and they were drinking and playing cards around the stove.

Seeing that it was Ziyun next to the mistress, they looked at each other for a while, and the woman in charge of the door stepped forward and took Ziyun's hand and said with a smile on her face: "Good girl, it's cold today, let's get together to kill time." Work hard, good girl, don't tell your superiors."

Ziyun sneered, "I'm afraid I can't take charge of this matter."

The woman didn't see Jingshu standing outside the door, but seeing Ziyun's reticent appearance, she said embarrassingly: "It's a great fortune for the girl to be able to work with the mistress, but we are all slaves." Yes, when anyone has not been in trouble, the girl can guarantee that she will be protected by the mistress, and she will be able to work smoothly in this mansion from now on. Although I am a rough maid, I have stayed in this mansion for most of my life Don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, don't say that the girl will sue the second lady, she will sue the old lady. If you say something big, the old lady can't bear to treat us old people who have worked hard in the mansion for most of their lives. what."

These people rely on the old to sell the old, aren't they just bullying their own young ladies so that they can't save face?Ziyun was about to speak to her, but Jing Shu who was standing on the porch said leisurely: "Mama's words are wrong!"

The woman didn't know that the mistress was here, so she hurriedly came out of the room, and said in a hurry: "I am old and talk nonsense, please don't worry about it, madam."

The other women in the room were startled when they saw that the mistress came to check the post in person, and they all came out of the room with their heads shrunk, and stood neatly on the porch.

Jing Shu's eyes swept over the faces of these women one by one, and said lightly: "Since you are old people in the mansion, you should understand the rules even more. I will not condone breaking the rules."

When the women heard the words, they quickly knelt down and begged: "I was just confused for a while, so please raise your hand high."

Ziyun snorted coldly and pointed to the woman on the ground, "There were three people on duty at the two gates, but now there are five." She pointed to the other two women and asked, "Where are you two from?" of?"

The mother-in-law faltered and said: "We are from the bamboo Xuantang."

It's in the fourth master's yard, no wonder he's so unruly, he dared to leave his post and come here to gather people to play cards.

Jing Shu looked at the crowd and said: "Since you have violated the rules, each person will be fined one month's salary according to the rules."

Although it hurts to be fined with money, but at least the little mistress was lenient and didn't make an example of them. They were about to kowtow to thank them when Li Ling walked over.

Although everyone in the mansion feared the always cold and serious elder son, fortunately he never interfered with the affairs of the inner house.

Unexpectedly, when Li Ling walked up to him, he said, "The mansion expressly forbids drinking and playing cards at night. If you commit a crime knowingly, you will be fined one month's salary according to what Madam said. In addition, you don't have to stay in the mansion anymore, you will all go to Beijing." Let’s go to the Zhuangzi in the suburbs as an errand.”

After hearing Li Ling's words, several people almost fainted. They went to Zhuangzi to do menial work, how could it be better than this prosperous and wealthy Zhen Guogong's mansion.

Several people looked at the little mistress and wanted to intercede, but they were too frightened to open their mouths when they glanced at Shizi's icy cold face.

Manager Fu rushed over after hearing the news. Li Ling met with Manager Fu and confessed: "Tell me, if anyone refuses to obey Madam's order in the future, they will all go to Zhuangzi."

　Li Ling: Madam, I will support you for my husband.

　　Jingshu: Get the hell out of here, aren't you trying to get angry with me?

　　Li Ling: Although I'm angry with you, I don't allow others to bully you.
