No message, no happiness~~(@^_^@)~
－－－－－－－－－－－－
In the past three days, Ling Jingshu thought about the scene of meeting Ling again countless times, and imagined the anger and excitement she would have. At this moment, she was as calm as ice and snow.
All the hatred and anger were firmly suppressed in my heart.
Waiting for the day to come and burst out.
Ling Jingshu smiled slightly, stepped forward, and bowed solemnly: "My niece, please give my regards to my aunt."
The sound is like the first cry of an oriole, soft and sweet.
Mrs. Ling secretly praised her in her heart and looked at Ling Jingshu intently. I saw that her eyebrows were beautiful and her expression was as calm as water. What's even more rare is that there is no impetuousness and a bit of impetuousness, which makes people like him.
Surprise and amazement flashed in Mrs. Ling's eyes: "When I got married, you were less than two years old, and you couldn't even be called aunt. In the blink of an eye, you have become a beautiful young lady."
Ling Jingshu lowered her head and responded softly: "Shu'er doesn't dare to praise you so highly as an aunt."
Mrs. Ling smiled and took Ling Jingshu's hand: "**** has been ill for the past few days and has not shown up. The meeting gift that my aunt has prepared for you can finally be given away today."
With that said, he turned around and ordered: "Wei Zi, go back to the house and get the brocade box on the dressing table."
The maid in an indigo dress responded, turned around and left.
Mrs. Ling seemed to like Ling Jingshu particularly, so she held her hand and started chatting with Mrs. Ling again: "I have been married to the Lu family for many years and have only given birth to a son like A Qian. I have always wanted a daughter, but unfortunately I couldn't. As expected. Now that I have seen the gentle and well-behaved girl, I am particularly greedy!"
The conversation was humorous and interesting, which made Old Mrs. Ling laugh non-stop: "You girl, you are now a mother, and you are still so naughty. Anyway, you and Sister Shu are so in love, so you can simply leave when you leave. Just take her back."
Knowing that Mrs. Ling was joking, Ling Jingshu still felt chills in her heart.
Mrs. Ling's familiar laughter rang out: "My mother said these words herself. The second sister-in-law, the fourth sister-in-law and the fifth sister-in-law all heard it and testified for me."
Naturally, the sisters-in-law would not be disappointed and deliberately joined in the fun: "Okay, we will all bear witness. Even if the fifth master comes back, there will be no place to reason."
Mrs. Ling returned to her parents' home, feeling quite happy, and immediately took over the conversation with a smile: "Fifth brother is such a precious daughter. If she is snatched away by me, it would be strange if she doesn't fall out with me."
Ling Jingshu resisted the urge to withdraw her hands with force and lowered her head, showing just the right amount of shyness and joy.
Ling Jingxian, who was standing aside, could hardly stop laughing, jealousy burning in her heart.
It happens every time! As soon as Ling Jingshu appears, everyone's eyes will circle around Ling Jingshu...
Wei Zi quickly brought the brocade box over.
Mrs. Ling opened the brocade box and took out a pair of jade bracelets: "Although these jade bracelets are not the finest Hetian jade, their texture is also of the highest quality. Come, aunt will put it on for you now."
While talking, he personally put on the jade bracelet for Ling Jingshu.
Ling Jingshu showed a grateful and touched smile at the right time, and took advantage of the opportunity to bow and say thank you, and withdrew her hand.
... ...
After the greetings, Ling Jingshu and Ling Jingxian stood beside Ling Jingwan.
The elders are talking and chatting, and the juniors don't need to be too reserved. They inevitably whisper when they get together.
"Cousin Wan," Ling Jingxian asked quietly, "Where are cousin Hong and cousin Qian? Why didn't they come here with their aunt?"
This time, Mrs. Ling brought back two brothers, Lu Hong and Lu Qian. Lu Hong is the direct descendant of his original wife and the direct grandson of Lu's family. Lu Qian is a child of the Ling family and is twelve years old this year.
When Ling got married at the beginning of the year, she became pregnant as soon as she entered the house, and the child was born prematurely before she was eight months old. Ling almost lost her life due to dystocia, and she never got pregnant again for several years.
Ling Qian was born frail and sickly since childhood. Mrs. Ling worked hard for her son to grow up safely and doted on him.
Thinking of Ling Qian, Ling Jingshu frowned subconsciously, then returned to normal.
Ling Jingwan naturally didn't notice something strange about Ling Jingshu, so she said with a smile: "Cousin Hong stayed in the house for three days and felt it was too boring, so he went to the Ling family's home school with cousin Qian early this morning. Listen in.”
"Cousin Hong is really eager to learn and make progress!" When she mentioned Lu Hong, Ling Jingxian's eyes suddenly shone: "I heard that cousin Hong already has the reputation of being a scholar, and he will definitely be on the gold list in the future."
Ling Jingshu glanced at Ling Jingxian funnyly.
Look at her excited look, what does Lu Hong's inclusion in the gold medal have to do with her
Ling Jingwan was very attentive and perceptive, and she obviously noticed something, and smiled: "Cousin Hong looks like he has a lot of potential, and he will definitely not be in the pool in the future. Although we are just cousins, we all hope that he will succeed. day."
Intentionally or unintentionally, the two cousins were bitten a little harder.
Calling cousin is actually a bit reluctant. Lu Hong was the son of his original wife and had no blood relationship with the Ling family at all.
Ling Jingxian stopped talking with some embarrassment.
Ling Jingwan turned to look at Ling Jingshu and smiled happily: "My cousin Shu is finally in good health. I have been worried about her these days, but now I can finally feel relieved."
If you really care about her, why have you never visited Qiushui Pavilion in the past few days
Ling Jingshu pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you very much, Cousin Wan, for your concern."
There are many female relatives in the inner house, and there are many right and wrongs. There is a large population in Ling Mansion, and everyone is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Ling Jingwan looks beautiful and quiet, but she is actually very smart.
Mrs. Ling cherished and doted on Ling Jingshu the most, but Ling Jingxian felt jealous in her heart. Ling Jingwan was not a saint, so how could she not be secretly jealous in her heart? It's just that Ling Jingwan is better at superficial skills and can hide things better than Ling Jingxian. Moreover, Ling Jingwan's marriage was decided at the beginning of the year. Now that she is getting married, her thoughts of competing with Ling Jingshu have faded a lot.
... ...
Old Mrs. Ling is old and likes fun the most. At noon, everyone was left for lunch.
They were all women, so there was no need to separate seats, so they sat down around the big table.
Ling Jingshu happened to be sitting opposite Ling. Occasionally, when he raised his eyes, Ling's smiling face came into his eyes.
The familiar smile makes people's eyes hurt.
Ling Jingshu has never hated her powerlessness more than now. The enemy is clearly sitting right in front of you, within easy reach. But she can't do anything!
If you want to take revenge, do you have to marry into the Lu family like in your previous life
As soon as this thought passed through her mind, Ling Jingshu threw it away without hesitation. In this life, she no longer wants to have anything to do with Lu Hong. If she wanted to take revenge, she had to find another way. What's more, her enemies are far more than just the Ling family...
"Sister Shu, why haven't you used your chopsticks? Is the food not to your liking?" Ms. Li looked over with feigned concern, acting like a hypocritical and loving mother.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned over. As expected, the food in Ling Jingshu's bowl had not been touched much.
Sitting opposite Ling, it was strange that she could eat.
Ling Jingshu responded calmly: "There is nothing wrong with the food in Yonghe Hall. It's just that I am in good health and have a poor appetite. Let mother worry about it."
Being lukewarm gave Li a soft thumb.
Mrs. Li was secretly angry in her heart, but she didn't show any trace of it on her face: "Sickness comes like a mountain falling, and sickness goes away like a thread. My daughter's body is inherently more delicate. We need to take care of it slowly in the future to avoid causing any disease."
Old Mrs. Ling took over the conversation angrily: "You girl, you have a bad appetite, why didn't you tell me in advance. Just ask the kitchen to prepare some light food."
Then, he told Mo Kui: "Go to the kitchen now and let the kitchen stew a bowl of bird's nest for Sister Shu."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Jingshu received four looks that contained jealousy. Of course two of them belong to Ling Jingxian, and the other one belongs to Ling Jingwan.
Bird's nests are expensive, and only Mrs. Ling in the Ling family eats a bowl of them every day.
In fact, at this time, let alone bird's nest, even dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder, Ling Jingshu was not interested at all. However, this represents Mrs. Ling's favor, which cannot and cannot be denied.
Ling Jingshu smiled gratefully: "Grandma treats Shu'er so well. Shu'er must have done good deeds in her previous life, and she is lucky enough to be my grandma's granddaughter in this life."
This flattery makes me want to vomit.
Old Mrs. Ling was quite pleased. Her wrinkled old face stretched out, she turned to Mrs. Ling with a smile and said, "Ah Hui, you were the best at making me happy when you were not married. These years, you have a daughter-in-law and a granddaughter. If you stay with me, I won’t be lonely.”
Of course, the importance of the daughter-in-law in Mrs. Ling's heart is far from being comparable to that of her daughter. Even the granddaughters are not as good as the Ling family.
In the past few days since Mrs. Ling came back, Mrs. Ling was in a very comfortable mood, and the smile on her face almost never stopped.
"I don't like to hear what my mother said. I was very filial back then, and I didn't mean to make you happy." Ling's coaxing skills were indeed top-notch. In just two sentences, Mrs. Ling was able to smile.
... ...
The bird's nest needs to be stewed slowly over low heat, and the stewed bird's nest will not be delivered until the banquet is over.
Ling Jingshu pretended to be full of joy, and ate a bowl of bird's nest without knowing the taste while everyone looked at her with envy, jealousy, or eager eyes.
After lunch, Mrs. Ling was used to taking a nap. Everyone resigned in a sensible manner.
Before Ling Jingxian left, she glanced at Ling Jingshu with complicated eyes.
Ling Jingshu pretended not to see him and led Bai Yu back.
"Young lady has been staying in Qiushui Pavilion these days, she must be very bored." Bai Yu suggested with a smile: "The weather is fine today, why not go to the peony garden to have a look. The few pots of peonies that young lady planted last year will be better in a few days. Flowering."
Ling Jingshu's heart moved and she nodded.
Since her rebirth, she has been bored in Qiushui Pavilion. The dark and painful past has been surging in her heart all day long. She has to face the Ling family again, which inevitably makes her depressed and depressed. It might as well go to the peony garden to relax. (To be continued)
