Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

The three masters and servants were chatting here. Danzhu came in from the outside and replied to Jingshu: "Miss, I just heard that the third lady really sent someone to bring back the delicate apricots from the village yesterday."

After Jing Shu heard this, he slowly sat down on the soft couch and frowned: "Didn't I say that I went to pick her up a while ago, but Jiao Xing didn't come back? Why did I go to pick her up again?"

Jingshu knew that Pingyang ordered Yuzhu to pick up Jiaoxing a while ago. This was what Pingyang told her personally when she came to visit her in Qingfengyuan. Although Jingshu disagreed in her heart, she couldn't bear the things that happened in the couple's house. Although she is the eldest sister-in-law, she is not very talkative.

 Unexpectedly, it was only two months before Pingyang went to pick her up again. Jing Shu could see clearly that this little girl insisted on doing this, but she was just a kid, and she just wanted to gain a reputation as a virtuous person when she got married.

Eminem, who has experienced the world, naturally saw Pingyang's thoughts. She sighed slightly and said: "You are still young and it doesn't matter. It's just for fame. It doesn't matter if you wait a year or two before we get married." Half a year, why be in such a hurry."

Since Jingshu became pregnant, Ziyun was mainly responsible for taking care of Jingshu. Jingshu left the outside matters to Danzhu and learned how to cook. Although Danzhu is not as careful and good-tempered as Ziyun, he is also quick and capable. Keep an eye on everything outside.

Jingshu asked Danzhu: "Can you see that delicate apricot?"

This Jiao Xing was just a second-class maid in Li Xiang's house. Jing Shu didn't recognize her at first. Later, after she was sent to the village, she was even more invisible.

Danzhu replied: "My servant only heard that Miss Yuzhu from Xianglin Garden personally picked her up yesterday. After she came back, she placed her directly in the cross-yard. Even the servant girl from Xianglin Garden didn't see anyone."

"By the way, I heard that the third master was at home when Jiao Xing came back yesterday, but the third master didn't go there, and he didn't even spend the night."

Hearing what Danzhu said, Ziyun said in confusion: "This is strange. Since the third master broke the family rules for such a girl, after she was sent to Zhuangzi, he begged our wife again and again to take his place. He took care of it, so why didn’t he even take a look at it now that he had brought it back?”

Emma muttered: "In the beginning, it was just a house for children, and it was not certain yet. It was normal to have a temporary liking for her for a while. Now that I have married a lovely wife, it is completely normal for her to fade away."

As the matron of the house, Jingshu naturally hopes for stability in the house. When the eldest son, Li Xian, doted on his concubines and killed his wife, it caused unrest in the family and even caused a lot of trouble. He was originally worried that Li Xiang would never forget his first love and that the young couple would cause any unpleasant things after he brought this sweet girl back. Now that Danzhu and Amu said this, she felt a lot more at ease.

“Pingyang is a simple-minded person, but I hope this Jiao Xing can abide by his duty.”

Amu advised: "Don't worry, young lady. The third lady is from a high family. Now the third master has become indifferent to that girl. Even if she has eight hundred courages, she would not dare to act recklessly."

At this moment, the Xianglin Garden that Jing Shu was thinking about was a picture of a loving wife and a happy husband.

Li Xiang took a bath today. After breakfast, the couple went to Anxi Hall to say hello to the old lady. After returning from the old lady, they passed by the courtyard where Jiao Xing stayed. Pingyang said to Li Xiang magnanimously: "Yesterday Aunt Xing is back. You have nothing to do today, so why not go over and take a look."

After hearing this, Li Xiang smiled faintly and replied: "I've been busy a while ago and couldn't spare any time to accompany you. It's rare that I have a free day today. I also want to take you out for a walk later."

Although Pingyang and Li Xiang have been married for almost half a year, they have never gone out alone. When Li Xiang proposed to take him out, Pingyang had a cheerful smile on his face and said hurriedly: "That's great. Now, I’m going to change my clothes.”

Li Xiang glanced at Pingyang's cheerful look and said with a smile: "I'll go out to do some errands in a moment. You go back and wait for me. When I come back from doing errands in a while, we'll go out."

Pingyang naturally had no objection. She took Li Xiang's arm and said happily like a bird just wanting to get out of its cage: "My husband treats me so well." The couple returned to the main room, and Li Xiang changed his clothes and took the boy out. After leaving the door, he stopped when he passed by Jiao Xing's small courtyard again.

Changsui Xiaoxi, who had been following him, asked, "Sir, would you like to go in first and see Aunt Xing?"

"No need." Li Xiang said, but he, who was always gentle, gave Xiao Xi a cold look.

Xiao Xi quickly stopped talking and followed Li Xiang out of the house.

When Pingyang returned to the main room, he started to wash up and dress up, preparing to go out with Li Xiang in a glamorous manner later. As soon as Yuzhu Lantian served Pingyang and dressed up, the woman who passed the news outside came in and replied: "Madam, Aunt Xing wants to see you. "

Pingyang glanced at Yuzhu subconsciously, and Yuzhu whispered: "When I brought her back yesterday, she should have paid your respects, but the servant saw that she didn't even have any decent clothes, so she didn't let her come over. This slave sent her some clothes and jewelry according to your instructions this morning, thinking that she is here to thank you."

Although Pingyang has never seen this charming girl, he has already learned from Yuzhu Lantian that she is just an extremely ordinary woman, and she is not very pretty. Now that he has taken her back, Li Xiang doesn't even look at her. , her heart that was still a little hung up was completely let go.

 “Let her come in.” Pingyang said.

 After a while, the mother-in-law led Jiao Xing in. Pingyang raised his eyes and saw that she was indeed a thin, small and ordinary woman. Even the lowest maids of her father and brothers in her palace were more beautiful than her. Pingyang felt even more at ease.

"I have met the eldest lady." Jiao Xing stepped forward and bowed to Pingyang respectfully.

Pingyang said: "Get up."

Jiao Xing stood up and stood aside with her eyes lowered respectfully. Although she looked cautious, she did not have the usual groveling posture of a maid. Her whole person looked indifferent and without any pretense.

Pingyang asked in a pleasant manner: "I asked them to place you in the Xikuo Courtyard. Are you still used to living there?"

Jiao Xing lowered her eyes and replied: "I like that yard very much. Thank you madam for taking me back. Madam is so kind. I will never forget it."

She spoke sincerely, not in a pretentious manner. After hearing this, Pingyang replied politely: "Since you have served the third master before, you should do your duty well in the future. You have just come back. If there is anything missing, there is nothing missing." Yes, don’t open your mouth, just ask Yuzhu to speak.”

Pingyang felt at ease when he saw that this woman and Yuzhu were talking about the same thing. With their relationship, it was just a formality to meet each other. Li Xiang would be coming back later, so it would be awkward for the three of them to meet. Pingyang was The words meant to see off the guests.

Jiao Xing is a discerning person. After hearing this, she respectfully replied: "I will take my leave now. I will pay my respects to my wife tomorrow."

With that said, she slowly followed the maid and retreated.
