The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 71 This year, the government of Zhen Guo has many happy events
Cypress green pepper red everything new.This year, there were many happy events in Zhen Guogong's mansion. The 22-year-old son got married, the 30-year-old uncle nominated the cabinet, the 15-year-old third master joined the army, and the 17-year-old son's wife was granted the imperial order.

It is the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, and the whole family will naturally sit around a table.

The maidservants with their hair in a cloudy bun and red plums came in one file at a time, and plates of delicacies gradually filled the huge round table.

The old lady is in the main seat, Zhen Guogong sits next to the old lady on the left side, and Li Xian sits next to the old lady on the right side.

Li Xian glanced at the still vacant seat next to Jingshu, and asked, "Why hasn't the second brother come back yet?"

Jing Shu smiled and said, "I ordered someone to come back just now, and I'll be right back."

The third girl joked with a smile: "Those who celebrate Chinese New Year are still so diligent."

Brother Kun, who was sitting beside Xu Wanning, was careful and couldn't hear the little aunt's jokes. He thought she was speaking ill of the second uncle, so he pouted and said, "Little aunt, don't say that about the second uncle. If the second uncle doesn't Diligence, how can you bring out such a mighty army."

Xu Wanning smiled and patted her son's head: "Since watching the military parade a few days ago, my second brother has become a hero in my son's heart."

After listening to Mother's words, Brother Kun smiled and said, "When I grow up, I want to be like Second Uncle, to be a majestic general and command thousands of troops."

After hearing what the great-grandson said, the old lady turned into a flower with a smile on her face: "Yes! Good! He is promising!"

On Li Xian's face, it was indifferent: his son was talented and intelligent, he was originally a student, so it can be seen that Xu Wanning, a vulgar person who likes to wield swords, has led him astray.

Taking advantage of the time when Xu Wanning was concentrating on joking with everyone, Li Xian gave her a dissatisfied look.

"Second brother and third brother are back." The third girl was sitting at the door and saw Li Ling's figure from a distance.

As soon as the words were finished, Li Ling and Li Xiang entered the banquet hall one after the other. They stood at the door and took off their cloaks and handed them to the serving woman.

"It's snowing outside, and it's quite heavy." Li Xiang said while brushing the snow on his body.

Since Li Xiang was dragged into the army by Li Ling, it has been more than half a year since the old lady suddenly saw Yaosun and said anxiously: "Xiang'er, come quickly to grandma."

Li Xiang smiled and walked towards his grandmother, the old lady pulled him to look left and right.

He was darker and thinner, but he looked stronger than before, and his height was also a lot taller.

At first, the old lady was worried that her little grandson would not be able to endure hardships and might be exhausted, but now that she saw him like this, she relaxed her heart, patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "It's grown strong, how is it? In the army Can you still eat it?"

Li Xiang subconsciously glanced at his elder brother Li Ling, of course he didn't dare to complain, he just replied with a smile: "It's okay, I'm getting used to it now."

The Lord Zhen Guo looked at the youngest son and said earnestly: "There is no one who does not suffer in the army. If you suffer more now, you will have more security when you go to the battlefield in the future."

Elder brother has said this to him countless times, Li Xiang nodded and replied: "Son understands."

"I must study hard."

When he said the last sentence, he glanced at Li Ling quietly, as if he said it specially for his elder brother.

Li Ling didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't lift his eyelids. He sat down next to Jing Shu, with a still serious expression on his face, but the big hand hidden under the table quietly took the little wife's plain hand.

Seeing that Li Ling and Li Xiang had also returned, the old lady told Mother Tong Chuan: "Go and see the fourth child, tell him to come here quickly, just wait for him."

The third girl quietly glanced at Jingshu.Usually, in such a situation, she couldn't help complaining about Li Yu, but today she couldn't help it.

It is said that as soon as the mother-in-law promised to open the door and go out, she turned back and said to the crowd with a smile, "fourth master is here."

After saying that, Fourth Master Li Yu came in, and the mother-in-law took the cloak he took off, and said with a smile: "Fourth Master, hurry up and take a seat, I'll be waiting for you."

After the Chinese New Year, Li Yu was still dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, the only difference was that there was an extra circle of scarlet piping on the cuffs.

He walked to the table, still only greeted the old lady, and then calmly entered the table.

Everyone was also used to his usual eccentricity, and no one cared.

Seeing that everyone was present, the old lady smiled and said, "Let's have a feast."

Three or five maidservants came forward to pour the wine with pots, and in an instant, the huge banquet hall was filled with the mellow aroma of fine wine.

Everyone first raised their glasses together to toast the old lady, and then the whole family ate, drank, chatted and laughed happily.

Naturally, the old lady knew about the eunuch's coming to the mansion to announce the decree.She thought it was Li Ling's will to be promoted. After all, he had just made meritorious service, and the Holy Majesty would naturally reward him, but she didn't expect that it was his granddaughter-in-law who received the imperial order.

The old lady was a little surprised, but she was not lost because of it. Today's Zhen Guogong's mansion is already a raging fire.

The daughter-in-law is the eldest princess, the eldest grandson is elected to the cabinet, and the first-in-law is in charge of the important job of inspecting the city. Although she is a woman, she is not unaware of the affairs in the court.

In this sensitive period of the battle for the reserve position, people like them should keep a low profile. The last time her granddaughter Qingluan was poisoned was a wake-up call for her. The eldest princess understands things, and it is natural for a transparent person like the old lady Can also see clearly.

Therefore, for Li Ling's meritorious service, he was not promoted, but his daughter-in-law was conferred, and the old lady secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The old lady picked up the wine glass and purposely put it off first: "This is a double happiness."

Those who have been in the mansion today naturally also know about the fact that the palace came to announce the decree today. After all, such a big event is also a sensation in the mansion.It's just that Li Xian, Li Ling and the others who just arrived home on errands don't know about it.

Li Xian couldn't help but asked, "Oh? What other happy event is there today? Grandma tell me quickly."

The old lady smiled slightly: "You men who are away don't know, but today the Xiangwu Palace came to announce the decree."

She looked at Jing Shu who was sitting there quietly, and continued: "The wife of our family's family has been granted a third-rank imperial order."

Li Ling subconsciously looked at his wife beside him, his face was still cold and serious, but there was a smile in his eyes.

Li Xiang, who was sitting next to Li Ling, also looked at the new sister-in-law whom he had only met a few times when he heard the words. Seeing the second elder brother and his wife sitting together intimately, he couldn't help thinking of his little lover, the maid who was driven away. Jiao Xing comes.

I don't know how she is now.

He looked at the new sister-in-law anxiously, and couldn't wait to ask her about the situation of his little lover. When he finally saw her glance at him, she hurriedly gave her a look of "I have something to say to you later".

Hearing this, Li Xian glanced at Jing Shu lightly, but his eyes were full of disappointment and doubt.He thought it was the intention of him being elected to the cabinet, but then he thought about it, the cabinet was just nominated a while ago, how could he not get the letter so quickly, alas!Still a little impatient.

He calmed down his anxious mind, and then he couldn't help but wonder, it stands to reason that the second younger brother should be promoted just after he became famous, but why is it that his daughter-in-law is rewarded instead.This bride has just entered the door, if the qualifications are not enough to be awarded, could it be that the second brother asked the Holy One?
Li Xian thought about it, and looked at Li Ling with a "really worthless" look.

He was blaming Li Ling for doing such a foolish thing to please his wife instead of his future, but Xu Wanning who was at the side coldly threw him a resentful knife of "Look at the man".
