The Lu family has already arrived in Dingzhou?
Old Lady Ling was surprised and delighted, and Huo Di stood up: "Hurry up, hurry up, let someone prepare a carriage to pick them up." โ
"Mother-in-law is so happy that she forgot that there is a carriage waiting at the dock?" Li took over the conversation with a smile.
Old Lady Ling smiled dumbly: "Look at me, I'm so happy and confused, I even forgot about it." โ
Seeing that the Li family had stolen the limelight, the Yue clan was unwilling, and immediately said with a smile: "The dock is half a day's journey away from our Ling Mansion, and the steward will come back to deliver the letter, it seems that the carriage has already reached the halfway point, maybe it will arrive in a moment." โ
Wang also said with a smile: "The guest room has been prepared for a long time. Before they arrived, let the maids clean the guest room again. The daughter-in-law remembered that her sister-in-law liked to be clean before she got married. โ
This last sentence won the favor of Mrs. Ling.
Old Lady Ling glanced at Wang approvingly: "It's still the most thoughtful you think." The fourth child has been in charge of the shop grange in the past few years, and you have learned a lot after following the fourth child. โ
Wang pursed his lips and smiled, and replied respectfully: "Thank you mother-in-law for complimenting." The fourth master often said that being able to share some trivial tasks for his mother-in-law is a matter for the son of man. If he knew that his mother-in-law praised him like this, he would not know how happy he was. โ
The Yue clan and the Li clan each sneered in their hearts, and they invariably glanced at the Wang clan.
This Wang family doesn't talk much on weekdays, and he is not weaker than the two of them in the slightest when he coaxes the old lady to come.
The Wang family didn't seem to notice the hidden jealousy in the eyes of the Yue family and the Li family, and weakly hugged the old lady Ling's arm: "The Lu family is almost here, mother-in-law might as well go back to the bedroom to rest for a while, change into new clothes, and refresh, and look more energetic." โ
Old Lady Ling nodded happily.
Li reacted very quickly, and immediately hugged the other arm of Old Lady Ling: "The fourth sister-in-law is right, the daughter-in-law will wait for her mother-in-law to rest." โ
The Yue clan couldn't grab it, and saw that he missed the opportunity to please him, and secretly gritted his teeth with hatred.
Ling Jingshu looked at this familiar scene and sneered in her heart.
The Ling family has never been separated. Except for the long house that has been living in the capital Luoyang, the other three rooms live in the ancestral house.
The trivial matters in the house were distributed to her son and daughter-in-law, but the keys to the treasury were in the hands of Mrs. Ling. In addition to the fixed monthly routine for each room, if you want to add more things or extra expenses, you have to go through the approval of Mrs. Ling.
Among the several daughters-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law, Sun, was born in a famous family and married quite richly. and lived with her husband in Luoyang, with a transcendent status. The Yue family and the Wang family are both from concubines, and the Li family is not obvious, and the private marriage is not rich. I want to do my best to coax Mrs. Ling to please and fight for more benefits.
It's a pity that although Mrs. Ling is old, she is not confused at all. Enjoy the welcome and service of my daughters-in-law with peace of mind, and never take any benefits lightly.
All in all, a few daughters-in-law want to play tricks with Mrs. Ling, but it's still far away!
Yue retracted his gaze angrily, and just happened to meet Ling Jingshu's perceptive eyes.
The Yue family was a little embarrassed and wolf bรจi who was seen through, but he refused to lose the reserve of his elders, and coughed and said: "Sister Shu, the Lu family has arrived today, and there will definitely be a reception banquet in the evening." You're just right, but don't stand for a long time and hurt your vitality. โ
Ling Jingxian said with a smile: "Cousin Shu, you go back to Qiushui Pavilion to rest first, and I will call you when the time comes." โ
"Don't bother Cousin Xian." Ling Jingshu said lightly: "My body has not healed yet, so I won't come out of the reception banquet tonight." so as not to disturb the interest of your guests. โ
Ling Jingxian's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and she said, "My aunt led her cousins from afar, how could you not attend this reception." Grandmother would be upset if she found out. You'd better hold on and show up! โ
Bear two faces under one hood!
Ling Jingshu tugged at the corners of her lips: "If you lose your manners in front of distinguished guests, wouldn't you lose your grandmother's face." Besides, with my cousin Xian here, I'm afraid that no one will pay attention if I don't show up. โ
Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear.
Not to mention, such words still came from the mouth of Ling Jingshu, who had always pressed her.
A hint of smugness flashed on Ling Jingxian's face, and she smiled fakely: "How can this be." Cousin Shu is the most outstanding of the cousins, and if the family banquet is without you, it will be a great disgrace. โ
Ling Jingshu was not in the mood to deal with her, so she saluted their mother and daughter, and then retreated
As soon as he returned to Qiushui Pavilion, Ling Xiao couldn't wait to ask, "Ashu, my aunt's family is a guest, why don't you want to go out to meet them?" โ
Bai Yu also looked puzzled.
Although the young lady's body is weaker, she still has the strength to show her face at the reception banquet, and what she said just now is a pretext.
Ling Jingshu was silent for a moment before she said lightly: "When my body is completely healed, it's not too late to see them again." โ
In his previous life, the Ling family returned to the door and lived in the Ling family for three months. She couldn't stay away from it. However, she is not ready to face the Lu family now.
In her state at this time, when she saw the enemy in her previous life, she was afraid that she would be unstable and would not be able to control her feelings at all, and she would show her feet and arouse suspicion.
Without waiting for Ling Xiao to ask, Ling Jingshu changed her tone of pleading and pleading: "Ah Xiao, if my grandmother asks about me, can you explain a few words for me?" Otherwise, my grandmother would be angry with me. โ
Ling Xiao immediately softened, and no longer asked the bottom line, nodded and said hello: "Then you have a good rest, and I will accompany you when I am free." โ
Jingyu, the maid who was standing on the side, walked over and carefully helped Ling Xiao to leave.
Bai Yu quietly stepped forward and said softly: "Miss, your body has not healed yet, it is not appropriate to work hard, it is better to lie down on the bed and rest!" โ
is reluctant to go out on the grounds of illness and weakness, so he simply does a full set of plays.
Ling Jingshu nodded
Shen Shizheng, the Lu family finally arrived at the Ling Mansion.
"When my aunt and grandmother got married, the slave maid had just been born and had never seen my aunt and grandmother. However, I have heard the housekeeper's mother mention it many times. The old lady gave birth to her aunt and grandmother in her forties, and she loves like a pearl in her palm. It's a pity that my aunt and grandmother married far away in Jizhou and haven't returned to their parents' home for so many years. The old lady and her aunt and mother and daughter reunited, not to mention how excited. โ
The little maid Xuancao stood on the edge of the bed, and her eyebrows fluttered to report the news she had inquired about: "The slave didn't dare to come forward to take a closer look, but only peeked a few times from a distance. These are all things that I heard from other maids. โ
"It was so exciting. The old lady and her aunt and grandmother cried and laughed, the fourth and fifth masters shed tears, and several wives all cried and their eyes red. The young masters and ladies also wiped their tears and cried into a pot of porridge. โ
Daylily is only twelve years old, with a slick mouth and a smart temperament, and she specializes in running errands and passing on words on weekdays. Today, she was entrusted with a "heavy task", and she was overjoyed in her heart, and she worked hard to find out the news.
Ling Jingshu sat on the bed, covered with a soft silk quilt, leaning on the thick pillows, listening casually.
It was nearly evening, and the candlesticks had not yet been lit in the room, and the light was somewhat dim.
Ling Jingshu's delicate and flawless pretty face seemed to be covered with a light veil, obviously close at hand, but also a little strangely strange and distant.
Bai Yu quietly looked at his master, thinking secretly in his heart.
After the young lady woke up today, it seems to be different from the past!
When she was ten years old, she was sold into the Ling Mansion. Standing tremblingly with the other little maids, nervous and unable to even speak. The six-year-old lady picked her and gave her the name Baiyu.
From that moment on, her fate and that of the young lady were closely linked.
The maids' deeds of sale are all in the hands of the master, and when they encounter a bad-tempered master, it is common for them to be scolded and beaten. What I am most afraid of is that the master will marry him out at will, or he will be sold out of the house and reduced to a pickled place. As a slave, fate is in the hands of the master.
The master and servant have been with each other for eight years, and the young lady treats her with kindness and tolerance. In her heart, she has long regarded Miss as the closest and most important person.
No matter what becomes of the young lady, she will follow her faithfully as always.
Xuancao continued to say with great interest: "Later, the descendants of the Lu family were busy settling down with their luggage, and my aunt and grandmother led the two cousins to Yonghetang. The slave was too short, and she couldn't see the appearance of the young master on tiptoe. I only heard that there is a young master who has a face like a crown and a jade, and looks like Pan An is handsome and dignified, but it's a pity that the slave maid couldn't see it with her own eyes."
"Daylily," Ling Jingshu suddenly opened her mouth to interrupt Daylily's gushing, "You did a good job." Now go to Yonghetang again, if there is any latest news, come back and report to me at any time. โ
The daylily was praised, and her heart was full of beauty, and she responded crisply, and retreated happily.
Ling Jingshu, the cousin of the Lu family, whose face was like a crown and jade, and her handsome appearance was like Pan An, and she pulled the corners of her lips sarcastically.
The lover who fell in love at first sight in her previous life, and the lover who married her and promised each other for life!
No one knows him better than she does!
She had thought that he would be her lifelong support and future. But the ruthless reality gave her a fatal blow.
After just two years of love and sweetness in the newlywed, he went to Luoyang for scientific research. After the good news of the high school champion, she was happy and didn't sleep for several nights. He muttered to his son, who was only two months old: "Your father has won the top prize in the examination and is going to stay in the capital as an official." He will be back soon to pick up our mother and son and go to Luoyang together."
However, for several years, he never returned.
Handsome, talented and ambitious, he won the favor of the most noble princess of the Great Zhou. He wanted to climb the dragon and the phoenix to enjoy a lifetime of wealth, so he abandoned his wife and children who were looking forward to his return in Jizhou.
He threw her in the filthy Lu family, suffered humiliation and hatred, and died
Until the moment she closed her eyes in pain, she had never seen him again
