The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 81 Why are you so stingy
In Qingfengyuan, when the mother-in-law came to tell the reception banquet for the nine princesses at night, Jingshu was leaning on the couch and looking at the travel notes Liu Yunzhi had given her. Any other orders?"

The nanny replied: "There is nothing special. The old lady just said that the second lady can invite some singers and storytellers to add to the fun at the banquet according to what you young people like."

Jing Shu nodded in agreement, and Mammy bowed and retreated.

Most of the wealthy and aristocratic mansions keep concubines for entertainment.However, the government of Zhen Guo has never had this tradition. It is afraid that the children will be addicted to it and delay their progress.Every time there are distinguished guests, if you need entertainment, you will go outside to invite them.

In the west city of Chang'an, there is a Qin Lou Chu Pavilion that raises actors. As long as the money is spent in place, it is natural that there will be no worries about not being able to hire highly skilled actors.

After the nanny left, Jingshu called the manager of Laifu to explain: "Take two young men and go to Xicheng to invite some actors. Don't be afraid to spend money. You have to be good at art."

After Manager Fu took the order to go down, Jing Shu stretched for a long time, and buried her head in her book again.

She was reading with gusto, when the book in her hand was snatched suddenly, Jing Shu raised her head dumbly, it was Li Ling.

She was so absorbed in watching that she didn't notice when he came back, Jing Shu glanced at him and said: "You came back early today."

Li Ling glanced at the book in his hand, and saw that it was Liu Yunzhi's travel notes again. He looked at his little wife and said, "A while ago, when I first took charge of the house, it was as if I had been beaten with blood. You are busy day and night, but now you seem to be very free."

Didn't she always misunderstand that Li Ling had other people in his heart and was worried that his position would not be stable?Now the truth has come to light, since her position as mistress is secure, she no longer has to do everything herself and be that desperate third mother.

Jing Shu stretched out her hand to grab the book: "I just fell in love with it, don't bother me."

Li Ling dodged her hand and snorted coldly, "I think you've been slack since you got this book."

Li Ling weighed the book in his hand, glanced at the three characters "Liu Yunzhi" on the cover, and said disdainfully: "It can be seen that this book has misled people a lot."

As he spoke, he casually threw the book in his hand out.

There was a small table next to the imperial concubine's bed. He thought he had thrown the book on the table, but he wondered if the book had spirituality. He knew Li Ling didn't want to see it, but he pointed straight at the golden beast incense burner behind the table. go.

The book landed firmly on the golden beast, and incense powder was burning in the stove.After a while, the inside of the incense burner secretly licked up the little sparks.

Jing Shu was startled by his sudden series of actions, and when she realized and got up, there was already a faint smell of paste coming from the incense burner.

"What are you doing?" Jing Shu glared at Li Ling, intending to rush over to save the book.

Li Ling held her back, and within a short while, white smoke rose from the books on the incense burner.

Jing Shu broke free from Li Ling's strong hand, and shouted at him: "Why are you still standing there? If you don't take it down, it will be burned."

Li Ling stared at the book on the censer, saw the right moment, stepped forward, took the book down with two fingers, and threw it on the ground until it was so hot.

Jing Shu hurried forward and picked up the book with a handkerchief on.

Fortunately, it was not burned, but because the cover of the book was facing down when it fell on the incense burner just now, the cover is now so smoky that it looks terrible.

Jing Shu's apricot eyes were slightly annoyed, she stepped forward to beat Li Ling and said, "Did you do it on purpose?"

Li Ling argued: "How could I do it on purpose, I wanted to throw it on the table."

He took the book from Jingshu's hand, read the seal with the words "Liu Yunzhi", and it was so smoked that he couldn't see it, Li Ling couldn't help but let out a "puchi" laugh.

Jing Shu was so angry that she lifted her jade foot and kicked him, and said angrily, "You did it on purpose, why are you like this, you are both petty and unreasonable."

Li Ling quickly stepped forward and hugged his young wife's waist, coaxing: "I really didn't do it on purpose. It's a good book, how could I throw it on the stove on purpose?"

He said it seriously, but there was a smirk in his eyes.

Jing Shu broke away from him, gave him a hard look, and turned around to leave.

Li Ling stretched out his hand to grab her again, hugged her in his arms, picked up the book and put it in her hand: "Neng, read it this time, I'm sure I won't stop you again."

Jing Shu gave him another hard look, took the book, turned around and went to the inner room.

She changed her clothes and came out, and cast a glance at Li Ling, who was still holding back a smirk while sitting on the chair comfortably: "What are you still doing? Grandma is going to invite us to a banquet tonight, why don't you change your clothes quickly."

Li Ling suppressed the little complacency in his heart, and asked, "It's not the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, why are you throwing a banquet?"

Jingshu raised her eyes and looked at him: "Didn't Qingluan come here yesterday and haven't given the banquet yet? Grandma will make up for it today."

Li Ling said "Oh", got up and was about to change clothes, when Jing Shu stopped him and looked at Li Ling meaningfully: "You have to pay attention to me at the banquet."

Li Ling lowered his eyes and looked at his little wife in doubt, obviously not understanding what she meant.

Jing Shu shot him a look, and warned: "Don't forget what you promised me, don't talk to her."

Only then did Li Ling understand, nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't worry, madam, I will remember."

Seeing that he had a good attitude, Jing Shu smiled at him with satisfaction. Li Ling leaned in and kissed her on the lips, and repeated: "I just don't talk to her."

Jing Shu hugged his neck, and said coquettishly: "At the banquet, you are not allowed to look at her."

Li Ling nodded: "My wife is so pretty, I can't get enough of it, let's see what other people do."

It was rare to be able to say such love words from Li Ling's mouth. Jing Shu returned his kiss as if rewarding him. She brushed over Li Ling's lips like a dragonfly, but Li Ling's lips actually pressed down. He embraced her. The soft waist became more and more eager to kiss, and finally he simply hugged the person horizontally and strode towards the inner room.

Jing Shu's clothes were changed for nothing.

After some cloud and rain, when the curtain of the bed was lifted, it was already willow shoots on the moon, and the two of them hurriedly got up and dressed.

When the two rushed to the banquet hall of An Xi Tang, besides the fourth master Li Yu, even the third girl who had always been late to love had arrived.

Jingshu took off her cloak, and secretly adjusted the dress inside, for fear that people would see her flaws in a hurry when she went out.

Li Ling was calm, and apologized to everyone without changing his face: "There are too many things in the camp today, and I am late."

As soon as she finished speaking, the third girl on the side asked suspiciously: "When I came back from the outside in the next half an hour, I saw Mr. Liang walking out. Didn't he come back with you?"

Hearing this, Li Ling raised his eyes and glanced at his sister, and didn't bother to explain, just pulled Jingshu to sit down on the seat.

The entertainment was prepared today, so there was no round table set up, but separate seats, the old lady was at the top, Qingluan and the third girl were at the same table with the old lady, next to her on the left and right.Li Xian and Xu Wanning brought their two children to the table, located at the bottom left of the old lady.Duke Zhen was upset and didn't come.Li Ling sat with Jing Shu, at the lower right of the old lady.The third master sat by himself, at the bottom of Li Ling.

After Li Ling Jingshu entered the table, the passerby replied: "Si Ye ordered someone to pass the message early in the morning, saying that he has something to do and can't come here today."

The old lady nodded faintly, and then smiled at everyone: "Qingluan was a little tired yesterday, so I didn't ask you to come over, let's get together today. In a flash, Qingluan hasn't come to the house for five or six years Yes, every time I go to see her in the palace, she always talks about you."

As she said that, she turned to look at her granddaughter and said, "You brothers and sisters are thinking about you, so you also think about them in the palace?"

After the old lady finished talking, she saw that her granddaughter didn't respond in a daze, so the old lady pulled her skirt and said with a pleasant smile, "Silly boy, what are you thinking?"

It wasn't until being summoned by her grandmother that Qingluan came back to her senses, quickly turned her gaze away from Li Ling, and looked at the old lady from the side in a ignorant way: "Grandma, what did you just say?"
