Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 136 Men and women in love are stupid

On the fifth day after Li Ling left, Jingshu received his first letter home.

Jingshu was having breakfast. When she saw Ziyun coming in with a letter from the doorman, she was so happy that she didn't even bother to eat. She quickly put down her jade chopsticks and took the letter.

When she saw Li Ling's powerful handwriting on the envelope, a sweet smile appeared on Jing Shu's face.

 She couldn't wait to open the letter.

 There are only a few words on the thin letter paper.

We have arrived at Fancheng and will reach Nanjun in three days. Everything is going well, don’t miss it.

Ziyun glanced at the letter and said with a slightly disgusted smile, "Just a few words?"

Jingshu raised her eyes and glared at her: "It's not like you don't know that your husband is not a good talker."

After saying that, she happily held the letter and went to the inner room. She lay on the couch and turned over the words with crooked eyebrows.

 It was as if seeing these words was like seeing Li Ling himself, making Jingshu feel very at ease.

While Ziyun was clearing away the dishes, he craned his neck to look inward at his young lady, and couldn't help but laugh at her in his heart.

 Just these few words, are they worthy of success?

She has been with Jingshu since she was a child and is also literate. Just now she only glanced at it and saw those few words clearly.

It’s so easy to wait for a letter, without even a word of missing you, if it were the third young master.

Thinking of this, Ziyun quickly stopped.

For some reason, ever since she returned to Chaozhou, she has always unknowingly compared her uncle with the third son.

Ziyun quickly put away the dishes and chopsticks, tidied the outside carefully, and then came to the yard to sit in the warm sunlight with the girls in Jiang's mansion, chatting for a long time.

A long time passed without her master calling her. Ziyun pushed the door open and entered the house, where she saw Jingshu still lying on the couch, looking at the letter with a sweet look on her face.

These men and women who are deeply in love are really stupid.

Ziyun shook his head slightly, walked quietly into the room, took the letter from Jingshu's hand, put it aside, and said angrily: "It's just a few words, you've been reading it over and over all morning."

Jingshu smiled and picked up the letter again, and couldn't help but defend Li Ling: "It's not that you don't know, my husband is a slow-talking person."

Ziyun smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I know my uncle is a man of few words. He doesn't say anything with his mouth, but keeps it all in his heart. Okay."

As she said that, she pulled Jingshu up: "It's just a few words. I can't see any flowers after turning them over and over. The sun is just right outside, so you can go out for a walk."

Jingshu then carefully put the letter in the envelope, placed it under her pillow with care, and said to Ziyun: "Let's go, take the piano with you, and let's go play the piano in the garden."

Ziyun happily agreed. She hugged Qin and followed Jingshu to the back garden.

Although the garden of Jiang Mansion is not as spacious as Zhen Guogong Mansion, it is still very large. Ziyun placed the piano on the stone table, spread cushions on the stone bench, and then let Jing Shu sit down.

 It’s April, the weather in Chaozhou is warm and humid, the garden is already full of willows and flowers are in bud, creating a vibrant scene.

Jingshu moved her slender hands slightly, and in an instant, the sound of nature like gurgling water filled the air.

Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister Fu were sunbathing in the yard with their mother-in-law. When they heard the gurgling sound of the piano coming from the garden, Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "It must be Shu'er playing the piano."

Sister Fu clapped her hands and said, "I thought only my third uncle could play such a beautiful piano, but I never thought my cousin could play the piano like this." Mrs. Tian patted her granddaughter's head and said, "Let's go to the garden too. Let’s take a walk.”

Jingshu saw her aunt and others coming this way, she stopped and hurriedly came over to greet them.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "We were attracted by the sound of your piano, so we won't disturb your enjoyment, right?"

Jingshu smiled and replied: "I just play randomly when I have nothing to do."

As soon as Ms. Tian and her daughter-in-law sat down, Mr. Zhang’s youngest son ran over. When he saw Jingshu, he asked in surprise, “Is it my aunt playing the piano?”

Mrs. Zhang took out her handkerchief to wipe her son's sweat, and said angrily: "You three brothers are learning kung fu with your third uncle in the front yard. Why are you not paying attention to the study? When you hear some noise, you come over to join in the fun."

Mrs. Tian hugged her grandson and said distressedly: "That's all, the weather is nice today, so just take a rest."

With that said, she told her grandson: "Go and call your third uncle and two brothers here, have a sip of tea and have a rest."

 Brother got his grandmother's life, so he ran to the front yard. After a while, the other two brothers ran over.

Jiang Youchen followed behind and saw his mother and sister-in-law from a distance, so he walked towards this side.

With a warm smile still on his face, he said hello to his mother, sister-in-law and Jingshu, and then sat down aside.

Ziyun served him tea, and Jiang Youchen looked at the piano on the table and asked, "Will this piano still be usable after repairing it?"

Jingshu replied: "It's easy to use, thank you cousin."

Mr. Zhang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The spring is very beautiful today. Shu'er will play another song for us."

Several nieces and nephews also clapped their hands and clamored to hear their cousin play the piano. Since the death of the Zhou family girl who had not yet passed away, the Jiang family has also become gloomy and gloomy. It is rare for Jing Shu to see her relatives in such good spirits today, so she does not postpone it. Sit down in front of the piano and start playing.

This time she played the most appropriate song "Spring and White Snow".

 As winter passes and spring comes, the earth revives and everything flourishes.

The whole family was intoxicated by the sound of this beautiful music. After the song, Jingshu looked at Jiang Youchen who was listening raptly, and said with a smile: "Cousin Chen, did I play this piece wrong?"

Although she had never met the girl from the Zhou family, Jing Shu knew that Jiang Youchen was a kind-hearted person. After his fiancée passed away, Jing Shu could see that her cousin was still extremely sad. It was rare for her family to gather together to enjoy the spring today. She also wanted to take the opportunity to lead him to chat a few more words to express her feelings.

Jiang Youchen turned his head, smiled faintly, and replied: "Only in the second verse, the third sound is wrong. My cousin did it on purpose, right? Are you here to test my ear?"

Jingshu smiled slightly and was noncommittal.

As the eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang naturally did not want to see her brother-in-law immersed in pain because of the Zhou girl. She also came over to tease Jiang Youchen and said: "If the song is wrong, Zhou Lang will take care of it." Even better than Zhou Lang."

Jiang Youchen smiled slightly, which made people feel like they were bathing in spring breeze: "Sister-in-law, please stop making fun of me."

Seeing this, Brother Xuan gave his uncle a thumbs up and praised: "In Xuan'er's heart, my third uncle is the best."

Sister Fu also joined in the fun, grabbed Jiang Youchen's clothes, looked up at him and said with a smile: "Uncle San is good at everything, and I also like Uncle San the most."

Jiang Youchen looked at his lovely nephews with a bright smile on his face, and laughed at himself: "Look, now I have become a hot potato."
