The Lu family has arrived in Dingzhou
Old Mrs. Ling was surprised and happy. She stood up and said, "Hurry, hurry, hurry, let someone prepare a carriage to pick them up."
"When mother-in-law was so happy, did she forget that there was a carriage waiting at the pier?" Ms. Li took over the conversation with a smile.
Old Mrs. Ling laughed dumbly: "Look at me, I'm so happy and confused that I even forgot about this."
Seeing that Li had stolen the limelight, Mrs. Yue felt unwilling and immediately said with a smile: "The dock is half a day's journey from our Ling Mansion. Just now the steward came back to deliver the letter. It seems that the carriage is already halfway there, and it might arrive in a moment."
Mrs. Wang also said with a smile: "The guest room has been prepared a long time ago. Before they arrive, let the maids and women clean the guest room again. My daughter-in-law remembers that my sister-in-law likes to be clean best before she gets married."
This last sentence won the favor of Mrs. Ling.
Old Mrs. Ling glanced at Mr. Wang approvingly: "You are the most thoughtful. The fourth child has been in charge of the shop and farm in the past few years, and you have learned a lot from following the fourth child."
Mrs. Wang pursed her lips and smiled and responded respectfully: "Thank you for the compliment, mother-in-law. The fourth master often said that it is a son's duty to share some trivial matters with his mother-in-law. If he knew that his mother-in-law praised him like this, he would be very happy. "
Yue and Li both sneered in their hearts and glanced at Wang at the same time.
This Wang family doesn't seem to talk much on weekdays, but he is no weaker than the two of them when it comes to coaxing the old lady.
Wang didn't seem to notice the jealous looks in Mrs. Yue's and Mrs. Li's eyes, and weakly supported Mrs. Ling's arm: "The Lu family will be here soon. Why don't mother-in-law go back to the bedroom to rest for a while, change into new clothes, and then Freshen up and look more energetic.”
Mrs. Ling nodded happily.
Mrs. Li reacted very quickly and immediately supported Mrs. Ling's other arm: "The fourth sister-in-law is right. My daughter-in-law will wait for her mother-in-law to rest."
The Yue family couldn't grab it in time, and they missed the opportunity to please him, and secretly gritted their teeth in hatred.
Ling Jingshu looked at this familiar scene and sneered in her heart.
The Ling family has never been separated. Except for the eldest family member who has been living in Luoyang, the capital, the other three families all live in the ancestral house.
The chores in the house were divided between his son and daughter-in-law, but the keys to the warehouse were all in the hands of Mrs. Ling. In addition to the fixed monthly schedule for each room, any additional purchases or additional expenses must be approved by Mrs. Ling.
Among the several daughters-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law, Sun, came from a well-known family and had a very generous dowry. She also lived with her husband in Luoyang, enjoying a detached status. Both the Yue family and the Wang family were born as concubines, and the Li family was not well-established and could not afford a dowry or a private house. He must try his best to make Mrs. Ling happy and get more benefits.
It's a pity that although Mrs. Ling is old, she is not confused at all. She enjoys the gratifying service of her daughters-in-law with peace of mind and never easily asks for any benefits.
All in all, the daughter-in-laws are still far from being able to play tricks on Mrs. Ling!
Yue Shi looked away angrily, and met Ling Jingshu's insightful eyes.
Mrs. Yue was a little embarrassed and embarrassed after being seen through, but she refused to lose her elder's reserve. She coughed and said, "Sister Shu, the Lu family is here today, and there will definitely be a reception banquet in the evening. You are in good shape, but don't stand for too long. It hurts the spirit.”
Ling Jingxian smiled and replied: "Cousin Shu, you go back to Qiushui Pavilion to rest first. I will call you then."
"There's no need to trouble Cousin Xian." Ling Jingshu said calmly: "I haven't recovered yet, so I won't come out to the Fengfeng Banquet tonight. So as not to disturb the interest of our distinguished guests."
Ling Jingxian's eyes quickly flashed with joy and she said: "My aunt has brought my cousins all the way here. How can you not attend this reception banquet? If grandma knows about it, she will definitely be unhappy. You'd better show it off." Let’s meet!”
Duplicity!
Ling Jingshu twitched the corners of her lips: "If I lose my etiquette in front of distinguished guests, wouldn't it be a disgrace to my grandmother? Besides, with Cousin Xian here, I'm afraid no one will notice whether I show up or not."
Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.
Not to mention, such words came from the mouth of Ling Jingshu, who had always suppressed her.
A trace of complacency flashed across Ling Jingxian's face, and she smiled hypocritically: "How could this be possible? My cousin Shu is the most outstanding among all the cousins. If the family banquet is without you, wouldn't it be greatly eclipsed?"
Ling Jingshu was not in the mood to deal with her, so she bowed to the mother and daughter and then withdrew.
... ...
As soon as he returned to Qiushui Pavilion, Ling Xiao couldn't wait to ask: "Ah Shu, my aunt and her family are here to visit, why don't you want to go out to see them?"
Bai Yu also looked puzzled.
Although the young lady is weaker, she still has the strength to show up at the wedding banquet. What she said just now is an excuse.
Ling Jingshu was silent for a moment, then said lightly: "It won't be too late to see them again when I'm completely recovered."
In the previous life, Mrs. Ling came back and lived in the Ling family for three months. She couldn't stay away from him forever. However, she is not ready to face the Lu family yet.
In her current state, after meeting the enemy from her previous life, she was afraid that her mind would be unstable and she would not be able to control her emotions at all, which would expose her flaws and arouse suspicion.
Before Ling Xiao could ask further questions, Ling Jingshu changed her tone to a soft and pleading tone: "Axiao, if grandma asks about me, can you explain a few words for me? Otherwise, grandma will definitely be angry with me."
Ling Xiao immediately softened his heart and stopped asking for the truth. He nodded and said, "Then you have a good rest. I will come with you when I am free."
The maid Jingyu who was standing aside came over and carefully helped Ling Xiao to leave.
Bai Yu quietly walked forward and said softly: "Miss, you haven't recovered yet, so you shouldn't work hard. You'd better lie down on the bed and rest!"
Since he didn't want to go out because he was sick and weak, he simply put on a full show.
Ling Jingshu nodded.
... ...
At Shen Shizheng, the Lu family finally arrived at Ling Mansion.
"When my aunt got married, my aunt was just born and I have never met my aunt. However, I heard my mother, who is in charge of the house, mention it many times. The old lady did not give birth to my aunt until she was forty years old. She loves her like the apple of her eye. It is a pity that my aunt married far away. After arriving in Jizhou, I haven’t been back to my parents’ home for so many years. It’s so exciting to see the old lady and my aunt and daughter reunited.”
The little maid Hemerocallis stood beside the bed, happily reporting the news she had learned: "This slave did not dare to come forward to take a closer look, but only took a few peeks from a distance. I heard all this from other maids."
"The situation at that time was really exciting. The old lady and my aunt were crying and laughing, the fourth and fifth masters shed tears, and several ladies had their eyes red from crying. The young masters and ladies also wiped away their tears and cried. A pot of porridge.”
Hemerocallis is only twelve years old. She is smooth-talking and smart. She specializes in running errands and spreading news. Being entrusted with an "important task" today, Hemerocallis was very happy and ran around to find out the news.
Ling Jingshu sat on the bed, covered with a soft silk quilt, leaning against the thick pillow, listening casually.
It was almost evening, the candlesticks had not yet been lit in the room, and the light was a bit dim.
Ling Jingshu's flawless and pretty face seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze. She was clearly close at hand, but also felt strangely strange and distant.
Bai Yu quietly looked at his master, thinking secretly in his heart.
After the young lady woke up today, she seemed to be different from before!
When she was ten years old, she was sold into the Ling Mansion. She stood tremblingly with the other little maids, so nervous that she couldn't even speak. The young lady, who was only six years old, chose her and gave her the name Baiyu.
From that moment on, her fate was closely linked to that of the young lady.
The slave girl's contract of sale is in the hands of the master. When encountering a bad-tempered master, it is common for them to be scolded and beaten. The most fearful thing is that the master will marry him off at will, or that he will be sold out of the house and reduced to a dirty place. As a slave, your fate is controlled by your master's thoughts.
The master and servant have been together for eight years, and the lady treats her kindly and tolerantly. In her heart, she has long regarded the young lady as the closest and most important person.
No matter what the young lady becomes, she will always follow her loyally.
Hemerocallis continued to talk enthusiastically: "Later, the servants of the Lu family were busy moving their luggage and settling in. My aunt led the two young cousins to the Lama Temple. The servant was too short, and she couldn't see the young cousin even when she stood on tiptoes. Appearance. I only heard that there was a young cousin who was as handsome and handsome as Pan An, but it’s a pity that I couldn’t see it with my own eyes... "
"Hemerocallis," Ling Jingshu suddenly opened her mouth to interrupt Hemerocallis's rambling: "You did a good job. Now go to Yonghe Hall again. If you have any latest news, come back and report to me at any time."
Hemerocallis was pleased with the compliment, so he agreed and left happily.
The Lu family's cousin, who was as handsome as Pan An and as handsome as Pan An... Ling Jingshu twitched the corners of her lips sarcastically.
The lover who fell in love at first sight in her previous life, and the husband who married her and promised each other a lifetime!
No one knows his appearance better than her!
She once thought that he would be her lifelong support and future. But the ruthless reality gave her a fatal blow.
After just two years of sweet love after their wedding, he went to Luoyang for scientific research. After the good news came that she was the top pick in high school, she was so happy that she didn't sleep for several nights. He muttered to his son who was only two months old: "Your father has won the first prize and will stay in the capital as an official. He will come back soon and take us two mothers to Luoyang together... "
However, he never came back for several years.
Handsome, talented and successful at a young age, he won the favor of the most noble princess of the Zhou Dynasty. He wanted to climb a dragon and a phoenix to enjoy life's wealth, so he abandoned his wife and children who were far away in Jizhou and were looking forward to his return.
He left her in the filthy Lu family and died of humiliation and hatred...
Until the moment she closed her eyes filled with resentment and unwilling to accept the pain, she never saw him again.
