Chapter 6: Reunion
No message is not happy~~(^_^)~
-------------
In the past three days, Ling Jingshu has thought about the scene of reuniting with the Ling family countless times, and imagined the anger and excitement she will have. When it really came to this moment, she was as calm as ice and snow.
All the hatred and anger were tightly pressed into the bottom of my heart.
Waiting for the coming day, gushing out.
Ling Jingshu let out a light smile, stepped forward, and saluted dignifiedly: "Niece to say hello to my aunt." ”
The voice is like the first cry of a yellow warbler, soft and pleasant.
Ling secretly praised in his heart, and looked at Ling Jingshu a few times. I saw that her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, and her expression was as calm as water. What's even more rare is that there is no impetuousness and jumping, which makes people look forward to giving birth to a good feeling.
Ling's eyes flashed with surprise and amazement: "When I got married, you were less than two years old, and you couldn't even call your aunt clearly. In the blink of an eye, she has become a big girl with a water spirit. ”
Ling Jingshu lowered her head and responded softly: "Shu'er doesn't dare to be an aunt like this. ”
Ling Shi smiled and took Ling Jingshu's hand: "You have been sick and didn't show up a few days ago, and the meeting gift that your aunt prepared for you can finally be sent out today." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head and ordered, "Wei Zi, go back to the house and get the brocade box on the dresser." ”
The maid in the indigo dress answered, turned around and retreated.
The Ling family seemed to like Ling Jingshu very much, so they held her hand like this, and gossiped with Mrs. Ling again: "I have been married to the Lu family for many years, and I only gave birth to a son like A Qian. I've always wanted a daughter, but unfortunately I couldn't get my wish. Now that I see the gentle and well-behaved girl's house, I am particularly greedy! ”
The words were witty and funny, and the old lady Ling couldn't stop laughing: "You girl, now you are also a mother, and you are still so naughty." Maybe you and Sister Shu fell in love like this, so you just took her back when you left. ”
Knowing that Old Lady Ling was joking, Ling Jingshu still felt a chill in her heart.
Ling's familiar laughter rang out: "This is what my mother said herself. The second sister-in-law, the fourth sister-in-law, and the fifth sister-in-law all heard it, and they also testified to me. ”
Naturally, a few concubines will not be disappointed, and they will have fun: "Okay, let's all testify." Even if the fifth master comes back, there is no place to reason. ”
When Ling returned to his parents' house, he was in a very comfortable mood, and immediately took over the conversation with a smile: "Fifth brother is such a precious daughter, if I snatch it away, it will be strange if you don't turn your face with me." ”
Ling Jingshu resisted the urge to withdraw her hands forcefully, and hung her head, revealing just the right amount of shyness and joy.
Ling Jingxian, who was standing on the side, couldn't laugh anymore, and the jealousy in her heart was blazing.
It's always like this every time! As soon as Ling Jingshu appeared, everyone's eyes would revolve around Ling Jingshu
Wei Zi quickly came over with the brocade box.
Ling Shi opened the brocade box and took out a pair of jade bracelets: "Although this jade bracelet is not the best Hetian jade, the texture is also excellent. Come, auntie, put it on for you now. ”
As he spoke, he personally put on the jade bracelet for Ling Jingshu.
Ling Jingshu showed a grateful and touching smile at the right time, took advantage of the salute to thank her, and withdrew her hand
After saluting, Ling Jingshu and Ling Jingxian stood beside Ling Jingwan together.
The elders are talking and chatting, and the juniors don't have to be too restrained, and they will inevitably whisper when they get together.
"Cousin Wan," Ling Jingxian asked quietly, "What about Cousin Hong and Cousin Qian, why didn't you come with your aunt?" ”
The Ling family brought Lu Hong and Lu Qian's brothers back this time. Lu Hong is the original concubine and the grandson of the Lu family. Lu Qian is from the Ling family and is twelve years old this year.
When Ling got married at the beginning of the year, she was pregnant when she entered the door, and the child was born prematurely before she was eight months old. Ling's dystocia almost cost her life, and she never became pregnant again for several years.
Ling Qian was born weak and sickly since he was a child, and the Ling family worked hard to grow up safely for this son, and he was also very spoiled.
Thinking of Ling Qian, Ling Jingshu subconsciously frowned, and immediately returned to normal.
Ling Jingwan didn't notice the slightest strangeness of Ling Jingshu, and said with a smile: "Cousin Hong has been in the mansion for three days, and he thinks it's too boring, so he went to the Ling family's home school with Cousin Qian early this morning to audit. ”
"Cousin Hong is really studious and motivated!" As soon as Lu Hong was mentioned, Ling Jingxian's eyes suddenly shining: "I heard that Cousin Hong has already made a name for himself, and he will definitely be able to be named on the gold list in the future." ”
Ling Jingshu glanced at Ling Jingxian amusedly.
Look at her excited look, what does Lu Hong's title have to do with her?
Ling Jingwan was very careful and keen, obviously sensing 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 are all looking forward to the day when he will get ahead. ”
Intentionally or unintentionally, the two cousins bit harder.
It's actually a bit reluctant to say cousins. Lu Hong is the original match, and he has no blood relationship with the Ling family at all.
Ling Jingxian was a little sneering.
Ling Jingwan turned her head to look at Ling Jingshu and smiled quite happily: "Cousin Shu's body is finally getting better, I have been worried about it these days, and now I can finally rest assured." ”
If you really care about her, why haven't you visited Qiushui Pavilion once in the past few days?
Ling Jingshu pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you Cousin Wan for your concern." ”
There are many women in the house, and there are many rights and wrongs. Lingfuli has a large population, and everyone is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Ling Jingwan looked at the beauty and quietness, but she was actually smart.
Old Lady Ling loves Ling Jingshu the most, Ling Jingxian is jealous in her heart, Ling Jingwan is not a saint, how can she not be secretly jealous in her heart? It's just that Ling Jingwan is better at superficial kung fu and better hidden than Ling Jingxian. Moreover, Ling Jingwan's family affairs were decided at the beginning of the year, and now that she is ready to marry, her mind to compete with Ling Jingshu has also faded a lot
Mrs. Ling is old and likes to be lively. At noon, everyone was left for lunch.
They were all women, and they didn't need to be separated, so they sat down around the big table.
Ling Jingshu sat opposite the Ling clan impartially. Occasionally, as soon as he raised his eyes, Ling's smiling face full of spring breeze crashed into his eyes.
A familiar smile, a stinging eye ache.
Ling Jingshu has never hated her powerlessness more than she does now. Obviously, the enemy is sitting in front of him, right within reach. But she couldn't do anything!
If you want to take revenge, do you want to marry into the Lu family like in your previous life?
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Ling Jingshu threw it away without hesitation. In this life, she no longer wants to have anything to do with Lu Hong. If she wants revenge, she has to find another way. What's more, her enemies are far more than the Ling family
"Why hasn't Sister Shu moved her chopsticks all the time, isn't the food to your liking?" Li pretended to look at it with concern, a pretending motherly style.
Everyone's eyes suddenly looked over. The food in Ling Jingshu's bowl really hadn't been touched much.
Sitting across from Ling, it was strange that she could eat.
Ling Jingshu replied lightly: "There is no bad reason for the food in Yonghetang. It's just that I'm just in good shape and don't have a good appetite. It bothered the mother. ”
lukewarm, let Li touch a soft nail.
Li was secretly annoyed in his heart, but his face did not show half a point: "Illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread." The body of the daughter's family is already delicate. In the future, you have to raise it slowly, so as not to fall into any disease. ”
Old Lady Ling took over the conversation with disgust: "You girl, you don't have a good appetite, why don't you say it in advance." Just let the kitchen prepare some light food. ”
As he spoke, he instructed Mo Kui: "You go to the kitchen now and let the kitchen stew a bowl of bird's nest for Sister Shu'er." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ling Jingshu received four eyes of hidden jealousy. Of course, two of them belonged to Ling Jingxian, and the other was Ling Jingwan.
Bird's nest is expensive, and only Mrs. Ling eats a bowl every day in Ling's house.
In fact, not to mention bird's nest at this time, even if it is dragon liver and phoenix gall, Ling Jingshu is not interested in it at all. However, this represents Mrs. Ling's favor, which cannot and cannot be shirked.
Ling Jingshu smiled gratefully: "Grandmother treats Shu'er really well. Shu'er must have accumulated virtue and done good deeds in her previous life, and she was fortunate to be her grandmother's granddaughter in this life. ”
This sycophant slap, I want to vomit numbly.
Old Lady Ling was quite useful, her wrinkled old face stretched out, and she turned her head to Ling with a smile and said, "Ah Hui, when you weren't married before, you would make me happy the most. With my daughter-in-law and granddaughter by my side all these years, I am not lonely. ”
Of course, the weight of her daughter-in-law in Mrs. Ling's heart is far from being comparable to that of her daughter. Even if it is a group of granddaughters, it is not as good as the Ling family.
In the past few days since Ling's return, Mrs. Ling was in a very comfortable mood, and the smile on her face hardly stopped.
"I don't like to hear my mother say that. I was filial piety back then, but I didn't want to make you happy. Ling's coaxing skills were really first-class, and just two sentences made Old Lady Ling smile
Bird's nest needs to be simmered slowly over low heat, and the stewed bird's nest will be delivered when the feast is almost over.
Ling Jingshu pretended to be full of joy, and in the eyes of everyone who were either envious or jealous or eyeing each other, she ate a bowl of bird's nest without knowing the taste.
After lunch, Mrs. Ling got used to taking a nap. Everyone quit with interest.
Before Ling Jingxian left, she glanced at Ling Jingshu with a complicated gaze.
Ling Jingshu just didn't see it, and led Bai Yu to retreat.
"Miss has been staying in the Qiushui Pavilion these days, she must be very stuffy." Bai Yu smiled and said, "The weather is sunny today, why don't you go to the peony garden and have a look." The pots of peonies that Miss planted last year should bloom in a few days. ”
Ling Jingshu's heart moved, and she nodded.
Since she was reborn, she has been stuffy in the Qiushui Pavilion, and the dark and painful past is surging in her heart all day long, and she has to face the Ling family, which is inevitably gloomy and depressed. It's good to go to the peony garden to relax.
