Chapter 115: Master?
The size of the Ling family present also saw the relationship between Ling Zixuan and Jiang Jingwen, and Jiang Tiefeng was the newly promoted secretary of the military department, and envy and jealousy suddenly appeared in his eyes. With the in-laws of the Ministry of War, Ling Buyi's family status is completely different, and it is obviously a lot more important. Especially the third aunt and the fourth aunt, they are inevitably depressed for a while.
Only Ling Buregret and Ling Shuangshuang's father and daughter were not surprised at all, Ling Shuangshuang had long known that her cousin and Jiang Jingwen were childhood sweethearts, and she had been jealous of Jiang Jingwen for a long time when she was a child, but as she grew older, she slowly accepted the relationship between Jiang Jingwen and Ling Zixuan. Ling Buregret had long known that Jiang Tiefeng had held the position of secretary of the Ministry of War, so the two of them were the most calm.
After Jiang Tiefeng finished congratulating, he hurriedly left the Ling Mansion after a few polite words with the old man and Ling Buregret and his wife, just took office, and there were many official affairs waiting for him to deal with, but what was surprising was that he actually left his daughter in the Ling family and accompanied Ling Zixuan. Seeing Jiang Tiefeng handing over his daughter to Ling Zixuan so reassuringly, the old man smiled even more happily, staring at Jiang Jingwen, the future granddaughter-in-law, from time to time, which made Jiang Jingwen so shy that her face turned red, and she hid behind Ling Zixuan's back and was embarrassed to come out.
It was Ling Shuangshuang who generously pulled her to the edge of Ling Zixuan's seat and sat down and chatted with her to relieve Jiang Jingwen's embarrassment. Ling Zixuan looked at the two girls with a wicked smile on the side, and was directly glared at by Ling Shuangshuang.
However, the old man's butt was not yet hot, and a voice came from the door: "Jiangnan Ji's family came to congratulate the old man!" ”
I saw a middle-aged couple walking into the Ling Mansion in military uniforms, followed by a long-legged girl in a cyan dress, young and beautiful, with a smile on her face. The three of them came to the old man and bowed down and said, "Ji Changgeng and his wife came to congratulate Lao Shangshu with their daughter, my father is old because of his age, and I wish Lao Shangshu good health and a full house of children and grandchildren in Donghai City. ”
"Brother Ji has a heart, Chang Geng's nephew has not been guarding the territory at the southern border pass, why did he return to the capital?" When the old man heard that it was Ji Fusu's eldest son, he was happy for a while, after all, Ji Fusu was a highly respected general in their generation, and he was almost the idol that everyone worshipped in that era. I didn't expect to send my eldest son thousands of miles to Ling Mansion to celebrate his birthday today, so how could he not be happy. ”
"The little nephew happened to return to Beijing to perform official business, so he brought the little girl Lingshan to celebrate the old man's birthday." Ji Changgeng said with a smile.
"Grandpa Ling, this is a gift specially prepared for you by the little girl, and I hope that Grandpa Ling will smile and accept it, and wish Grandpa Ling happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan!" Ji Lingshan obediently gave the carefully prepared gift to the old man. The old man's heart moved, could it be that this girl was also related to Ling Zixuan.
Sure enough, as soon as Ji Lingshan's words fell, Ling Zixuan came to Ji Changgeng and his wife under the urging of Ling Buyi and his wife.
"Uncle Ji and aunt are good!" Ji Changgeng and his wife looked at Ling Zixuan and smiled meaningfully. It was also the first time for me to see this future son-in-law of Chenglong, and I only listened to my old father talk about this child to heaven, how excellent and amazing. Now it seems that he is indeed calm, not shocked, and does not lose his true character as a man.
Ji Lingshan looked at her mother looking at her with a mocking expression, her face immediately flushed, and she lowered her head and became shy.
How could the old man not be able to guess the relationship between the two at this time, and he was wondering if Jiang Jingwen was also on the side, wouldn't there be a conflict. I saw that Jiang Jingwen had already happily run to Ji Lingshan's side, hooked Ji Lingshan's arm with one hand, and whispered in her ear, and then the two girls looked at Ling Zixuan with a coquettish smile. Ling Zixuan was also uncomfortable with the two of them, and he twisted it rarely.
When the old man saw that Ji Lingshan and Jiang Jingwen were as close as sisters, he could only sigh that the young people now really made him unable to understand, he couldn't understand!
Ji Changgeng and his wife sat down under the guidance of Ling Buyi, and then Ji Lingshan and Jiang Jingwen followed Ling Zixuan to Ling Shuangshuang's table and sat down, Ling Shuangshuang and Ji Lingshan were not familiar with each other, but I had heard that this woman had suffered a lot of grievances in order to save Ling Buyi and his wife. So I had a good impression of her, so after taking the initiative to get to know Ji Lingshan, the three girls chatted happily. As for the other juniors of the Ling family, they didn't dare to come to their table at all, so they could only watch the three girls talk happily from a distance, but their hearts were full of jealousy towards Ling Zixuan.
"Zixuan, my father may have something to find you alone in a while, and he asked me to say hello to you first, I hope you don't refuse." Ji Lingshan whispered in Ling Zixuan's ear.
Ling Zixuan was stunned, this is the first time the future father-in-law meets, is there something to ask for?
Seeing that Ling Zixuan didn't react, Ji Lingshan lightly bumped his waist, staring at Ling Zixuan, as if asking Did you hear it?
"Are you forcing me to marry you quickly?" Ling Zixuan suddenly said something nonsensical. provoked Ji Lingshan's delicate face to blush instantly. Jiang Jingwen laughed directly when she heard this, "Zixuan, you seem to have become bad!" ”
The flirtatious laughter of the three made the juniors of the Ling family at the table feel like they were sitting on pins and needles, and they looked jealous.
"The Ninth Princess has arrived!"
Suddenly, there was another voice at the door. When all the people in the Ling Mansion heard that it was the Ninth Princess who had arrived, they all stood up, facing the gate with nervous expressions.
The old man also stood up from his chair at once, and accompanied by Ling Buyi and his wife, came to the main gate to prepare to greet him.
A pale yellow plain skirt slowly walked into the Ling Mansion, and everyone immediately bowed down and said in unison, "Welcome to Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess!" ”
"Lao Shangshu's ninetieth birthday, Wen Ting came to celebrate his birthday, specially prepared a thin gift, and hoped that Lao Shangshu would accept it with a smile." As soon as the ninth princess entered the door, she bowed to Weiwei to congratulate the old man on his birthday and gave a gift.
The old man expressed his gratitude to the ninth princess, but he couldn't understand why the ninth princess would come to the door to celebrate her birthday, which was completely unreasonable! He is just a retired Shangshu, and it is not worth the ninth princess to give up her birthday in person, at most it is already great to send someone to send a congratulatory gift.
Just when he was puzzled, the Ninth Princess walked quickly to the side of the only man who was still sitting and drinking tea, and called out to him respectfully: "Master! Wen Ting is here! ”
"Master?" The people at the scene were all dumbfounded, the dignified Ninth Princess actually called Ling Zixuan Master? What's going on? Even the old man was stunned, looking at the Ninth Princess and Ling Zixuan, and couldn't calm down the surprise in his heart for a long time.
The ninth princess is the only daughter of the emperor today, and in the emperor's mind, her status is second only to the crown prince. Moreover, the ninth princess has an excellent reputation and has won the hearts of officials in the DPRK and China. With such a noble identity and status, it turned out ...
