Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 149 Palace Rewards

Jin Yan got out of the carriage and walked towards the Shen sisters. Shen Jingxuan saw Jin Yan and said with a smile: "We just arrived and were about to ask the doorman to go inside to communicate, but we didn't expect to meet the third lady."

Jin Yan smiled and replied: "Let's go, my second sister-in-law happens to be at home today."

Jin Yan led the Shen family into the house. After hearing from the manager that Jing Shu was sitting in the front yard as a director, Jin Yan took the people directly to the front yard.

When Jingshu heard that her sister was coming, she quickly put down the accounts she was checking and went out with Ziyun. From a distance, I saw the third girl walking towards here with her two younger sisters and a nanny.

When Jingshu saw the nanny clearly, she couldn't help but blurted out: "Amu?"

There was surprise on her face, and she walked towards the nanny in three steps at a time. When she got there, Jingshu said in surprise: "Emma, ​​it's really you. When did you come back?"

This grandma was Jingshu's wet nurse. The old man was very happy to see Jingshu. She pulled Jingshu and looked her up and down. She hadn't seen her for many years. The girl she raised by herself turned out to be a married woman after she got married. So dignified and noble.

It was so dazzling that he almost didn't dare to recognize him.

Amu patted Jingshu's hand and said with a smile: "My mother-in-law died half a year ago, and there is no longer anything to worry about at home, so the master ordered someone to take me back to Shen Mansion."

Jingshu took Eminem and her two younger sisters back to Qingfeng Garden and said happily: "It's been three years since Eminem left. I don't know how much I miss you and miss you."

Amu looked at the extremely elegant furniture and furnishings in the majestic palace and replied with a smile: "Amu heard that the eldest lady married a noble man in the countryside. I never thought that she was from such a wealthy family."

She pulled Jingshu and asked, "How are you living your life? Are you considerate to me?"

Without waiting for Jingshu to reply, Ziyun, who was serving tea at the side, smiled and said to Eminem, "Our eldest lady is now the mistress of the house, and my uncle treats our lady extremely well."

Amu saw Jingshu's majestic appearance and her good complexion, and knew that what Ziyun said was true.

 How well a woman lives is written on her face.

Eminem said happily: "The eldest daughter of our family is good-looking and gentle. When we were ten years old, when we were still in Chaozhou, a fortune teller came to the house and told her that she would have a good fortune. She would marry into a noble family in the future. .”

Jingshu smiled and replied: "Fortune tellers are just saying things that sound nice. Eminem actually takes it seriously. I still remember this after so many years."

Jingshu asked her two younger sisters about the situation at home. Shen Jinglan replied that they were fine, and gave Ziyun the tea her parents ordered her to bring.

Jingshu ordered Ziyun to put away the tea, got up and went to the inner room to take out a box of jewelry.

When Sister Shen Jinglan saw the box of jewelry, she could hardly open her eyes. Shen Jingxuan was so shocked that she could put an egg in her mouth. She timidly touched the pieces of jewelry that glowed with brilliance and said curiously: "Sister Where did you get so many expensive jewelry?”

Jingshu replied: "These are the rewards your brother-in-law received from the Holy Father last time he went on a mission. They were just delivered from the palace in the morning. You just happened to catch up. Each of you can choose two that you like and wear them."

Shen Jingxuan couldn't put it down, looking at this piece and then that piece, and couldn't help but praise: "It turns out to be a royal item from the palace, no wonder it is so exquisite."

She picked up a hairpin inlaid with precious stones and chattered to Shen Jinglan: "Second sister, look at how big this jadeite is and how good the color is. I'm afraid it might be worth platinum."

Shen Jinglan rolled her eyes at her sister and scolded her in a low voice: "Don't make a fool of yourself, don't show off your little family airs that have never seen the world."

When Shen Jingxuan saw Shen Jinglan criticizing her again, she turned back angrily, holding the hairpin and asked Jingshu: "Sister, can I choose this?" Jingshu nodded and said, "It's just that the hairpin is too ostentatious, and you are still young. , put it away first when you go back, and then take it out for use after two years."

As she said that, she picked out a bright jasper bracelet from the box and put it on her younger sister's wrist: "This color is tender and suits your age, so just keep it with you."

 After sisters Shen Jinglan each selected their jewelry, Jingshu asked Shen Jinglan to choose two pieces for her stepmother Wang, and then ordered Ziyun to put away the remaining jewelry.

It was already dark when Li Ling returned in the evening. He stepped into the inner room. Jingshu was taking off her makeup at the dressing table. Her silky hair hung like a waterfall on her waist. When she saw him returning, she stood up and walked towards him. With a sweet smile on her face, she called him: "My husband is home."

Hearing his wife's smile, all the fatigue caused by his day's running seemed to disappear.

Li Ling took off his official uniform and asked with a smile on his face: "I heard that your two sisters came today and brought your wet nurse with them."

Jingshu hung up the official uniform that he had taken off and replied: "Amu's husband passed away when she was young. Three years ago, her mother-in-law was paralyzed in bed and had no one to take care of her. So Amu went back to the countryside to take care of the elderly. Her mother-in-law passed away a while ago, so my father ordered someone to take her back."

She walked up to Li Ling, hugged his waist, looked at him with full eyes and said, "Amu is half my mother. She has no relatives now. I want to keep her by my side, is that okay?"

Li Ling replied: "Of course it's good. I often have to lead troops on expeditions and I'm away from home. You have many close people around you to take care of you, so I feel more at ease."

With that said, Li Ling looked at his wife and said, "Where did you place Ammu? Why don't you take me over to pay a visit to the old man before it's too late?"

Jingshu knew that Li Ling was a well-mannered person and treated his elders with respect. She replied: "I have placed Amu in the side hall. She is tired today, so she has been placed there. I'll see you tomorrow."

With that said, Jingshu pulled Li Ling to the table, pointed to the rewards on the table that were sent by the palace in the morning, and said: "These were rewarded by the palace in the morning."

Ever since Emperor Ming saw Li Ling personally begging for a royal title for his daughter-in-law, he knew that his nephew was a lover of his wife, and every time he was given a reward, he would always give him what he wanted, most of which were fabrics and jewelery that women loved, such as hairpins and other fabrics.

Li Ling saw that this was no exception. He picked it up twice and asked, "Are these things still to your liking?"

These gifts from the emperor were all treasures, and Jing Shu also loved them. She picked up the box of precious luozidai and said to Li Ling: "Of course I like it very much. Look at this luozidai. It is said to be a tribute from the Western Regions. Only a few small boxes are paid as tribute a year, and there are only a handful of concubines in the palace who can use this."

Li Ling naturally didn't understand what these women were using. Seeing that his wife loved this little thing, he picked out a snail from the box.

This snail daisy is extremely precious. It is made of pure gold on the outside and contains a thin wick inside. When using it, gently turn the mechanism to twist out a small section and lightly apply it on the eyebrows to outline the extremely beautiful look. Nice eyebrow shape.

Li Ling took Luo Zidai in his hand and twisted out his eyebrows. Seeing that the little brown thing was nothing special, he stretched out his hand and pinched it curiously. How could the eyebrows withstand the rough hands, and it suddenly became two sections? .

“Why can’t I touch this thing so much?” Li Ling raised his eyes and looked at his wife with an innocent look on his face.

This small box contains only six snails in total, and this guy accidentally broke one.

Jingshu took a breath of heartache and quickly took the small box containing Luozidai from Li Ling's hand, covered it tightly, and put it in her dowry.
