Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 141 Li Ling’s Gift

As Ziyun's scissors cut open the thick package layer by layer, when they saw what was inside, both the master and the servant were dumbfounded.

Inside the large buns wrapped in layers were all kinds of food, including various candies wrapped in oil paper, different styles of snacks in boxes, and countless other kinds that they had never seen before, let alone incomprehensible. A little snack with your name on it.

There is so much, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it in half a year.

Ziyunyou turned over the big stuffed bun unwillingly, and kept mumbling: "Isn't there anything else in such a big bun that's all for food?"

Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief, stopped Ziyun and said, "It seems they are all for food."

The master and servant looked at each other helplessly for a long time, and Ziyun couldn't help complaining: "There are so many business travelers from Gaoshan Country in Nanjun, even if you bring back two pieces of jewelry, it will open our eyes. OK."

 “This uncle is really boring!”

Ziyun was complaining here, and Li Ling stepped into the house.

Ziyun's defiance of Li Ling has nothing to do with the length of time she followed Jing Shu into the Duke's Mansion and had contact with Li Ling. This kind of defiance was caused by an ordinary little woman confronting a man with high authority and dignity. The kind of timidity that comes from the heart.

As soon as she finished complaining, Li Ling came in. What she said privately to her young lady was probably overheard by her uncle. Ziyun was so frightened that her face turned pale and she just looked at Jingshu.

Jingshu naturally knew that the girls around her were jealous of Li Ling. She gave Ziyun a "good" look to comfort her, and whispered: "You go down and do your work first."

Ziyun quickly lowered her lapels and lowered her hands, not even daring to look at Li Ling, and retreated dejectedly.

With only the couple left in the room, Li Ling walked up to his wife, glanced at the mountain of food piled high on the table, and said to her, "Is this girl saying you don't like the gifts I brought back?"

Jing Shu smiled and replied: "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that there are a lot of business travelers in Nanjun. Ziyun and I thought you would bring back some Zhu Chai jewelry, but we didn't expect that all you brought back was food. "

The little girl Ziyun is worried about offending Li Ling with her unguarded words, but naturally a grown man like Li Ling will not take the words of a little girl to heart.

When he saw that the gift his wife was looking forward to was pearls and hairpins, he replied calmly: "I also know that your daughter's family likes those pretty things, but I am a grown man and I am too embarrassed to buy these things."

Jingshu guessed that Li Ling couldn't spare his dignity to buy such things.

She smiled and said, "It's okay. I have so much jewelry that I can never run out of it. I also like these little snacks."

When Li Ling heard what his wife said, he felt a little more submissive. She picked out a small snack from the mountain-like pile of food, opened the oil paper, picked out one and stuffed it into his wife's mouth: "I know you love sweets, this is mine. I saw Tete buying it for you when I was patrolling the city in Nanjun. Try it, it's very sweet."

Jingshu chewed it twice. It was very sweet. It was so sweet that it hit her throat.

She naturally did not dislike the food that Baba brought back for her. Jing Shu looked extremely satisfied as she wandered around, praising: "It is indeed very sweet. I like it very much."

Li Ling saw that his wife liked it, and his angular face showed a look of joy. He hurriedly picked up two more pills, held them up to her mouth, and said like a treasure: "If you like it, eat more."

Just after she ate one piece, her throat was so hot that her throat was filled with smoke. Seeing Li Ling bring two more pieces, Jing Shu couldn't help but frown.

Li Ling asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Jingshu had no choice but to open her mouth and bite the sweet food her husband brought to her mouth. She suppressed the sweetness in her throat, forced out a smile, and said to him: "It's nothing, this little snack. It’s really, really delicious.”

Li Ling simply held the bag of small sweets in front of his wife and said the same thing as before: "If you like it, just eat more."

Jingshu glanced at the bulging little sweet, and she really couldn't laugh anymore.

Fortunately, Ziyun placed breakfast outside, and Jingshu quickly said to Li Ling: "Let's eat first, I have to go to my aunt's place later." Li Ling then put down the bag of small sweets and turned towards the outside room. And go.

When he wasn't paying attention, Jing Shu quickly spat out the sweets he stuffed into his mouth, and quietly threw them into the trash can under the table together with the package on the table, and then hurriedly followed Li Ling. Go out to eat.

Li Ling was on official business. After finishing his errands in Nanjun, he had to rush back to resume his duties with the Holy Emperor. Naturally, he could not stay in Chaozhou for a long time.

The uncle's family knew that their niece would go back with Li Ling tomorrow, so they were naturally reluctant to part with her. But how could a married daughter live permanently in her natal family?

Tian couldn't help but shed tears again. She pulled Jingshu and said, "When you go back this time, you still don't know what year or month we will see each other."

Jiang Zhao saw that his wife was his mother-in-law in front of his son-in-law, so he angrily said to her, "Shu'er will naturally come back when I have some free time in the future. Why are you crying and wiping away your tears?"

Ms. Tian sniffed and rolled her eyes at her husband: "Now that the Gunzhou side is all lost, the journey is difficult. How can we get back so easily?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but shed tears.

Seeing his mother's sadness, Jiang Youchen comforted him and said: "Although Gunzhou is lost, it is our Daqi land and will be recovered sooner or later. Mother, don't be sad. When the road to recover Gunzhou is clear, my cousin can come back at any time. If my cousin has no time, she can come back at any time." The child can also take his mother to Beijing to visit his cousin and uncle's family."

Jiang Youchen, who was so gentle and gentle, could always say thoughtful words and make people obey him. After listening to his son's advice, Tian gradually stopped crying and told Li Ling again: "Shu'er is young, so I have to trouble the general to treat her more." It’s Zhaofu.”

Li Ling naturally agreed, but for a person like him, he couldn't say anything fancy. He only replied solemnly: "Don't worry, aunt, I won't let her be wronged."

 Tian ordered people to put sumptuous food and wine in the front yard to see off her niece and son-in-law. After dinner, Li Ling took Jing Shu to say goodbye to everyone early and returned to the courtyard where they were staying because they were on their way on the next day.

As soon as the two of them entered the house, the little girl who called outside came in and said, "The third young master is outside the yard asking to see you."

Li Ling hurriedly went out again. Jiang Youchen was standing outside the courtyard waiting. When he saw Li Ling coming out, he stepped forward to greet Li Ling and said with a smile: "The general and his cousin will go back tomorrow. I will give you a gift here."

As he spoke, he put **** to his mouth, and with the sound of a whistle, a red-headed and golden-bodied falcon rushed down from the sky, hovering and landing on Jiang Youchen's arm.

Jiang Youchen raised his hand and stroked the falcon's wings, and said to Li Ling: "It's called 'Golden Winged Slave'. I've been raising it for many years, and I'm giving it to General Li today."

Ordinary falcons are mostly brown or black, but this falcon is red-gold. It has rounded nostrils, a long and sharp beak, and long wings with plump feathers. It is the best among falcons.

 It is hard to get even a thousand pieces of gold.

 Such precious falcons are rare even among the dignitaries in the capital.

Li Ling hurriedly postponed and said: "This eagle is really valuable, and Li will definitely not be able to accept it."

Jiang Youchen insisted: "The general and his cousin are going to cross the Gobi. The desert is difficult to navigate and wild animals often appear. This thing can fly high and see far, and it is very humane. If there is danger, it can alert the general early."

Seeing that Li Ling hadn't returned for a long time, Jing Shu opened the door and went out of the yard to look for her. She saw the "gold-winged slave" hovering on Jiang Youchen's shoulder. She hurriedly hid behind Li Ling, quietly glanced at the falcon and said, "This falcon was that year." The business traveler from Gaoshan Country whom my cousin rescued, is that the one he gave you?"

Without waiting for Jiang Youchen to reply, the "gold-winged slave" flapped his wings and called "quack" twice towards Jing Shu.

Jingshu was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Li Ling, clutching Li Ling's clothes tightly, and said in a hurry: "Cousin, watch it quickly, don't let it peck me."

Jiang Youchen replied: "Don't be afraid, cousin, it won't hurt anyone. This thing is very spiritual. It recognized you and was greeting you just now."

He looked at his cousin hiding behind Li Ling and said with a smile: "I will give it to you and General Li, so that it can guide you in the desert."
