Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 278 Li Xiang’s thoughts are hard to figure out

Not long after Yuzhu went out, Li Xiang came in from the outside. He glanced at the honey-fried cherries on the table that were mostly eaten by Pingyang, and asked with a smile: "If you like this, I will buy you some more tomorrow. "

Pingyang happily said yes.

 She came over to hug Li Ling, looked at him and said, "My husband treats me so well."

Li Xiang smiled and replied: "You are my wife, so of course I will treat you well."

Pingyang was not very satisfied with Li Xiang's statement. She couldn't help but pouted and said, "Just because I am your wife, do you treat me well?"

Li Xiang saw that Pingyang seemed unhappy, and he quickly asked: "Why, is there anything I haven't done well enough?"

Pingyang looked at Li Xiang and replied: "I didn't say you didn't do well, but if you married someone else instead of me, would you treat that person like this?"

After Li Xiang heard this, he smiled lightly: "We are married by the Holy Spirit, so there are no what-ifs."

“Tell me, if you married another noble daughter, would you be so doting on her?” Pingyang grabbed Li Xiang’s lapel and coquettishly said.

Li Xiang saw that she kept asking questions, and the smile on his face slowly faded, and he just said perfunctorily: "Isn't it a good idea for us to do this? What are we doing bothering those invisible people?"

Even if Li Xiang is unhappy, he still has that gentle look. In Pingyang's eyes, it seems that nothing in the world can make him lose his dignity, and that elegance seems to be engraved in his bones.

Although Li Xiang did not show any impatience in the face of his entanglement, Pingyang could still feel that her husband was not happy about her being tired of him, so Pingyang also shut up.

 The huge room immediately fell into silence.

Li Xiang sat down, poured a cup of tea, took two sips, and spoke lightly, breaking the silence in the room: "When I came in just now, I saw Yuzhu with two little girls, and Zuo Shi with a lot of things. Went to the West Courtyard."

After Pingyang heard this, she sat next to him and replied: "Today is Aunt Xing's birthday, don't you know?"

Li Xiang said "Oh" and then put down the tea cup in his hand. He turned his head and looked at Pingyang and said, "I don't remember it a long time ago. It's hard for you to still care about these things."

Pingyang smiled and replied: "It is my responsibility as a wife to help my husband take care of his wife and take care of his concubine."

Li Xiang stretched out his hand and pinched Pingyang's round little face, a smile appeared on his face again, and he praised: "I have such a virtuous wife at home, what should I ask for from my husband."

It was the first time Pingyang heard such praise from Li Xiang. She smiled straight into her eyes. She looked at Li Xiang and said sagely: "Aunt Xing has been back for a while, and you haven't come to see her yet. Today is her birthday. How about you go over there."

After hearing this, Li Xiang squeezed the hand under Guangxiu slightly and said hesitantly: "Let's forget it. I haven't prepared anything for her, so I still can't get through."

Pingyang saw that her husband was just talking about Jiao Xing indifferently. She obeyed in her heart, but said: "I have already ordered someone to give her a birthday gift. We are husband and wife, so what I give will naturally represent your feelings. .

Li Xiang smiled at Pingyang and said, "In that case, I'll go over and take a look at her."

Li Xiang left the main room, walked around Huaxie, walked through the corridor, and opened Jiao Xing's courtyard door.

The yard was quiet except for an old woman who was busy sweeping at the door. The old woman was very surprised to see Li Xiang and hurriedly came over to greet her. Li Xiang replied: "You can just go and do your work. There is no need to go in to communicate."

The old woman agreed and went down. Li Xiang stood in the yard and looked around. Although the yard was not big, it was fresh and elegant. A satisfied smile gradually appeared on his face.

Li Xiang raised his legs and walked lightly inside. He caught a glimpse of a few red plum branches on the south corner extending from the main courtyard. The plum branches were pressed against the top of the wall and bloomed in a fiery red.

He walked to the foot of the wall with light steps and looked up at the plum blossoms that were blooming just right. Li Xiang tried to jump to pick the plum blossoms, but the plum blossom branches were too high and he couldn't even touch them with his fingers. Li Xiang was particularly unwilling. He walked to the bottom of the wall and wanted to climb to the top of the wall with his bare hands to break the plum blossoms. However, the wall was high and smooth, but there was no place to put effort. As a result, Li Xiang failed to climb up several times. .

After struggling a few times, Li Xiang still didn't give up. In the end, he simply took off his cloak and threw it aside. He rolled up his cuffs and continued to gallop a few feet away from the wall. Climbed the wall.

Li Xiang sat on the wall, raised his arm to test the beads of sweat on his forehead, reached out and picked out a few plum branches among the branches.

 “You have to be careful!”

Li Xiang, who was standing on the wall, heard this familiar call. He quickly opened the plum branches and grinned from the bottom of his heart at Jiao Xing standing on the ground.

“Let me pick some plum blossoms for you.” Li Xiang shook the plum blossoms in his hand and said to the delicate apricots on the ground.

Jiao Xing smiled at Li Xiang and replied: "The wall is so high, I will ask them to get you a ladder."

Li Xiang greeted him hurriedly: "No, no, it's just a wall, just watch me jump down easily."

With that said, he jumped down from the high wall without waiting for Jiao Xing's reaction.

Although his body was light, there was a lot of residual snow piled up under the wall. Li Xiang couldn't help but slip when his feet landed on the ground. Because his center of gravity was unstable, his body fell down. Fortunately, he subconsciously used his free hand to support the ground. Only then did he narrowly avoid ending up like a dog chewing on mud.

Xiaomei, the little girl that Jiao Xing brought from the village, exclaimed in fright. Jiao Xing seemed not to be surprised. She leaned over to help Li Xiang up, blaming him and saying, "After all these years, why can't you be steady?" some."

 The two of them had been separated for several years, but when they saw each other today, they felt no strangeness at all, as if they had never left each other.

Li Xiang stood up and stood in front of Jiao Xing, grinning at her and reaching out to take Jiao Xing's hand. The moment he touched her, he suddenly realized that he had touched his hand with snow when he fell. , Li Xiang hurriedly retracted, and rubbed his clothes casually, then he pulled her and said with a silly smile: "If it weren't for the snow on the ground, I would be able to stand firm."

Jiao Xing was speechless and gave him a slightly angry look. She took out her handkerchief and helped him pat the snow foam still remaining on her body.

Li Xiang lowered his eyes and looked at her, just grinning stupidly. Although his face was childish, his eyes were filled with indescribable tenderness.

Xiaomei, the little girl that Jiao Xing brought from Zhuangzi, met Li Xiang for the first time. When she was at Zhuangzi, she heard from the old people in Zhuangzi who had met several young masters of Zhenguo Gongfu that the eldest son of the Gongfu was from Yushu Linfeng. The second son is a handsome and solemn general. Although the third son is not as talented as his two brothers, he is a beautiful man with a handsome face, gentle and graceful.

Today I finally got to meet the third young master who was rumored to be graceful and handsome. He was indeed handsome, but he was climbing a wall and wrestling. Oh my, such an embarrassing appearance really made Xiaomei, a girl from the countryside, a little bit embarrassed. Surprised.
