Chapter 6 Reunion

No message, no happiness~~(x-on:^_^x-on:)~

－－－－－－－－－－－－

In the past three days, Ling Jingshu thought about the scene of meeting Ling again countless times, and imagined the anger and excitement she would have. At this moment, she was as calm as ice and snow.

All the hatred and anger were firmly suppressed in my heart.

Waiting for the day to come and burst out.

Ling Jingshu smiled slightly, stepped forward, and bowed solemnly: "My niece, please give my regards to my aunt."

The sound is like the first cry of an oriole, soft and sweet.

Mrs. Ling secretly praised her in her heart and looked at Ling Jingshu intently. I saw that her eyebrows were beautiful and her expression was as calm as water. What's even more rare is that there is no impetuousness and a bit of impetuousness, which makes people like him.

Surprise and amazement flashed in Mrs. Ling's eyes: "When I got married, you were less than two years old, and you couldn't even be called aunt. In the blink of an eye, you have become a beautiful young lady."

Ling Jingshu lowered her head and responded softly: "Shu'er doesn't dare to praise you so highly as an aunt."

Mrs. Ling smiled and took Ling Jingshu's hand: "You have been sick a few days ago and have not shown up. The meeting gift that my aunt has prepared for you can finally be given away today."

With that said, he turned around and ordered: "Wei Zi, go back to the house and get the brocade box on the dressing table."

The maid in an indigo dress responded, turned around and left.

Mrs. Ling seemed to like Ling Jingshu particularly, so she held her hand and started chatting with Mrs. Ling again: "I have been married to the Lu family for many years and have only given birth to a son like A Qian. I have always wanted a daughter, but unfortunately I couldn't. As expected. Now that I have seen the gentle and well-behaved girl, I am particularly greedy!"

The conversation was humorous and interesting, which made Old Mrs. Ling laugh non-stop: "You girl, you are now a mother, and you are still so naughty. Anyway, you and Sister Shu are so in love, so you can simply leave when you leave. Just take her back."

Knowing that Mrs. Ling was joking, Ling Jingshu still felt chills in her heart.

Mrs. Ling's familiar laughter rang out: "My mother said these words herself. The second sister-in-law, the fourth sister-in-law and the fifth sister-in-law all heard it and testified for me."

Naturally, the sisters-in-law would not be disappointed and deliberately joined in the fun: "Okay, we will all bear witness. Even if the fifth master comes back, there will be no place to reason."

Mrs. Ling returned to her parents' home, feeling quite happy, and immediately took over the conversation with a smile: "Fifth brother is just such a precious daughter. If she is snatched away by me, it would be weird if she doesn't fall out with me."

Ling Jingshu resisted the urge to withdraw her hands with force and lowered her head, showing just the right amount of shyness and joy.

Ling Jingxian, who was standing aside, could hardly stop laughing, jealousy burning in her heart.

It happens every time! As soon as Ling Jingshu appears, everyone's eyes will circle around Ling Jingshu...

Wei Zi quickly brought the brocade box over.

Mrs. Ling opened the brocade box and took out a pair of jade bracelets: "Although these jade bracelets are not the finest Hetian jade, their texture is also of the highest quality. Come, aunt will put it on for you now."

While talking, he personally put on the jade bracelet for Ling Jingshu.

Ling Jingshu showed a grateful and touched smile at the right time, and took advantage of the opportunity to bow and say thank you, and withdrew her hand.

...

After the greetings, Ling Jingshu and Ling Jingxian stood beside Ling Jingwan.

The elders are talking and chatting, and the juniors don't need to be too reserved. They inevitably whisper when they get together.

"Cousin Wan," Ling Jingxian asked quietly, "Where are cousin Hong and cousin Qian? Why didn't they come here with their aunt?"

This time, Mrs. Ling brought back two brothers, Lu Hong and Lu Qian. Lu Hong is the direct descendant of his original wife and the direct grandson of Lu's family. Lu Qian is a child of the Ling family and is twelve years old this year.

When Ling got married at the beginning of the year, she became pregnant as soon as she entered the house, and the child was born prematurely before she was eight months old. Ling almost lost her life due to dystocia, and she never got pregnant again for several years.

Ling Qian was born frail and sickly since childhood. Mrs. Ling worked hard for her son to grow up safely and doted on him.

Thinking of Ling Qian, Ling Jingshu frowned subconsciously, then returned to normal.

Ling Jingwan naturally didn't notice something strange about Ling Jingshu, so she said with a smile: "Cousin Hong stayed in the house for three days and felt it was too boring, so he went to the Ling family's home school with cousin Qian early this morning. Listen in."

"Cousin Hong is really eager to learn and make progress!" When she mentioned Lu Hong, Ling Jingxian's eyes suddenly shone: "I heard that cousin Hong already has the reputation of being a scholar, and he will definitely be on the gold list in the future."

Ling Jingshu glanced at Ling Jingxian funnyly.

Look at her excited look, what does Lu Hong's inclusion in the gold list have to do with her?

Ling Jingwan was very attentive and perceptive, and she obviously noticed something, and smiled: "Cousin Hong looks like he has a lot of potential, and he will definitely not be in the pool in the future. Although we are just cousins, we all hope that he will succeed. day.”

Intentionally or unintentionally, the two cousins ​​were bitten a little harder.

Calling cousin is actually a bit reluctant. Lu Hong was the son of his original wife and had no blood relationship with the Ling family at all.

Ling Jingxian stopped talking in a sarcastic manner.

Ling Jingwan turned to look at Ling Jingshu and smiled happily: "My cousin Shu is finally in good health. I have been worried about her these days, but now I can finally feel relieved."

If you really care about her, why have you never visited Qiushui Pavilion in the past few days?

Ling Jingshu pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you very much, Cousin Wan, for your concern."

There are many female relatives in the inner house, and there is also a lot of right and wrong. There is a large population in Ling Mansion, and everyone is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Ling Jingwan looks beautiful and quiet, but in fact she has a sharp mind.

Old Lady Ling values ​​and dotes on Ling Jingshu the most. Ling Jingxian is jealous in her heart. Ling Jingwan is not a saint either, so how could she not be secretly jealous in her heart? It's just that Ling Jingwan is better at superficial work and hides it better than Ling Jingxian. Moreover, Ling Jingwan's marriage was decided at the beginning of the year. Now she is determined to get married, and the idea of ​​competing with Ling Jingshu has faded a lot.

......

Old Lady Ling is old and likes lively places the most. At noon, she invited everyone to have lunch.

They are all female relatives, so there is no need to separate the seats. They sit around the big table.

Ling Jingshu happened to sit opposite Ling. Occasionally, when she raised her eyes, Ling's smiling face would hit her eyes.

The familiar smile hurts people's eyes.

Ling Jingshu has never hated her powerlessness more than now. Obviously, the enemy is sitting in front of her, within reach. But she can't do anything!

To take revenge, do I have to marry into the Lu family like in my previous life?

As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, Ling Jingshu threw it away without hesitation. In this life, she no longer wanted to be involved with Lu Hong. If she wanted to take revenge, she had to find another way. What's more, her enemies were far more than just Ling...

"Sister Shu, why haven't you touched your chopsticks? Is the food not to your taste?" Li looked over with pretended concern, acting like a hypocritical mother.

Everyone's eyes immediately looked over. The food in Ling Jingshu's bowl was indeed not touched.

Sitting opposite Ling, it would be strange for her to eat.

Ling Jingshu replied indifferently: "There is no reason why the food in Yonghe Hall is not good. It's just that I'm in good health and my appetite is not good. I'm sorry to trouble my mother."

The lukewarm response made Li hit a soft nail.

Li was secretly angry in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face: "Illness comes like a mountain falling, and it goes away like a thread. Girls' bodies are delicate. You have to take care of them slowly in the future, and don't leave any roots of illness."

Old Lady Ling took over the conversation with a grudge: "You girl, you have a poor appetite, why didn't you tell me in advance. Just ask the kitchen to prepare some light food."

As she said, she ordered Mo Kui: "Go to the kitchen now and ask the kitchen to stew a bowl of bird's nest for Sister Shu."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Jingshu received four jealous eyes. Two of them were of course from Ling Jingxian, and the other was from Ling Jingwan.

Bird's nest is expensive, and only Old Lady Ling in the Ling Mansion eats a bowl every day.

In fact, at this time, let alone bird's nest, even if it was dragon liver and phoenix gall, Ling Jingshu had no interest at all. However, this represents the favor of Old Lady Ling, and it cannot and cannot be refused.

Ling Jingshu smiled gratefully: "Grandma treats Shu'er so well. Shu'er must have done good deeds in her previous life, so she is lucky enough to be your granddaughter in this life."

This flattery is so disgusting that she wants to vomit.

Old Mrs. Ling was quite pleased. Her wrinkled face stretched out, and she turned her head and said to Ling with a smile: "Ahui, when you were not married before, you were the best at making me happy. I am not lonely these years with my daughter-in-law and granddaughter."

Of course, the weight of the daughter-in-law in Old Mrs. Ling's heart is far from being comparable to that of her daughter. Even a group of granddaughters cannot compare to Ling.

In the past few days since Ling came back, Old Mrs. Ling was in a very good mood, and the smile on her face almost never stopped.

"I don't like to hear what mother said. I was filial back then, but I didn't mean to make you happy." Ling's skill in making people happy is indeed first-class. Just two sentences made Old Mrs. Ling smile.

......

Bird's nest needs to be simmered over low heat, and the stewed bird's nest will be served when the banquet is about to end.

Ling Jingshu pretended to be full of joy, and ate a bowl of bird's nest without tasting it in the eyes of everyone who was envious, jealous or covetous.

After lunch, Mrs. Ling was used to taking a nap. Everyone left tactfully.

Before leaving, Ling Jingxian looked at Ling Jingshu with a complicated look.

Ling Jingshu pretended not to see it and led Bai Yu to leave.

"Miss has been staying in Qiushui Pavilion these days, she must be very bored." Bai Yu smiled and suggested: "Today the weather is fine, why not go to the peony garden to take a look. The pots of peonies that Miss planted last year should bloom in a few days."

Ling Jingshu's heart moved and nodded.

Since her rebirth, she has been depressed in Qiushui Pavilion. The dark and painful past has been surging in her heart all day long. She has to face the Ling family, so she is inevitably depressed. It would be good to go to the peony garden to relax.
