Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 50 It’s not good for you to deal with my uncle like this

Shen Jinglan asked: "Isn't my brother-in-law at home?"

Jingshu replied: "He went to work in the camp."

Shen Jingxuan was eating the fruit and said, "Sister, tomorrow is my father's birthday, can you go home?"

Hearing what Shen Jingxuan said, Jingshu remembered that tomorrow was her father's birthday. She was the first to run the family and was so busy these days that she really forgot about it.

Since returning home from Sanchao, she has not been back for half a year. She is usually too busy to think about it, but when she suddenly heard her sister mention it, she felt like returning home.

Jingshu replied: "It's my father's birthday, so I naturally want to go home."

Shen Jinglan asked: "Can my brother-in-law also go with me?"

Jingshu said: "He is busy these days, let me ask him."

While the others were talking, the third girl came in from outside. Before anyone entered the room, the sound came in: "Second sister-in-law, I heard that you have a sister here?"

Jingshu stood up and came over to greet her, and asked with a smile: "Shouldn't you go to the official school today?"

“School ends early today.” She said, looking at the two girls in the room.

She looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a face like a peach blossom. She is as slender as her second sister-in-law, but far less beautiful than her second sister-in-law. The other one was only twelve or thirteen years old, with **** eyes and a pretty face. She was just a green cucumber and couldn't tell much. But even when she grew up, she would definitely not be as good-looking as her second sister-in-law.

Jingshu took the third girl's hand and introduced: "These are the second and third sisters of my natal family." Then she said to the two of them: "This is your brother-in-law's biological sister, the third girl in the house."

Sister Shen Jinglan smiled and said hello to the third girl, but the third girl had a calm look on her face.

Why didn't Jing Shu understand her sister-in-law's thoughts? The third girl was jealous of her two younger sisters again. She greeted her hurriedly and enthusiastically: "Sit down quickly. If you want to eat something, I'll ask Ziyun to give it to you." Bring it."

As expected, the third girl glanced at the two sisters Shen Jinglan, then looked at Jingshu and said calmly: "Since the second sister-in-law's sister is here, I can't disturb you, no need to work, I'm leaving now."

If you really don’t want to disturb me, why do you come here after school?

Jingshu really felt sorry for this frank and lovely sister-in-law. She was no different from her own sister, and she couldn't bear to see her feeling aggrieved.

Jingshu pulled her over and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for several days, and I was just thinking. We finally got together today, why don't you spend some time with me?"

Hearing Jingshu's thoughtful words, the third girl felt very beautiful. She glanced at Sister Shen Jinglan from the corner of her eyes, her face still concealed, and she said coyly: "I'm afraid it will affect the second sister-in-law's get-together with my sister."

Seeing her little appearance, Jing Shu held back a smile and said, "They are my sisters, aren't you my sister? We happened to meet each other today, so you can have dinner at my place tonight."

The third girl was secretly happy, but still hesitated for a while before replying: "I can't bear to live up to my second sister-in-law's kindness, so I'll stay here with you today."

Jingshu told Ziyun: "In a moment, tell the little kitchen to make a roast pigeon that the three girls like." After saying that, she looked at Sister Shen Jinglan, and then told Ziyun: "Make a few more things. Here’s what you two like to eat.”

Shen Jingxuan smiled and said to Ziyun: "Sister Ziyun, do you still remember what I like to eat?"

Ziyun smiled and replied: "Miss Third likes to eat braised pig's trotters the most. How dare this slave forget it? I'm going to tell the little kitchen that you can try the braised pig's trotters in our town's Duke's Mansion tonight. It's delicious. It’s over.”

After setting the meal, Jingshu invited her sister-in-law and two younger sisters to serve the table together. After everyone sat down, Shen Jinglan looked out the door and said, "Would you like to wait for your brother-in-law to come back?" Jingshu said, "He is like this I've been busy for a while and won't be home until very late. Let's use it first instead of waiting for him."

Shen Jinglan said: "Yes, it gets dark early after winter, so we have to go back in a hurry after eating."

Once they heard that they had finished eating and left, the three girls became really happy.

What about my biological sister? It's not that they have to be separated after just one day, but she and her second sister-in-law have been in this house for a long time. They can see each other whenever they want, and get as close as they want.

The third girl was happy in her heart and could not hide it on her face. She chattered along with Jing Shu while eating.

Shen Jinglan couldn't stand her, and took advantage of the gap between her and Jingshu's conversation to give her a hard look.

Shen Jingxuan was a simple and honest person. She only gnawed on the pig's trotters at the table. She gnawed most of the pig's trotters, opened her two oily little hands, and praised: "The braised pig's trotters here are indeed better than ours."

　　It was already the west end of Wujin after dinner. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Jing Shu couldn’t leave her sisters any longer, so she led the three girls to send them to the car.

After sending the Shen sisters away, when the third girl and Jing Shu were walking back, the third girl casually asked Jing Shu: "Second sister-in-law, have you ever heard of Liu Yunzhi from Jiangnan?"

Jingshu asked: "Are you talking about Liu Yunzhi, who was born in the Jiangnan gentry and was known as Liu Qilang?"

 The third girl said excitedly: "Second sister-in-law, you have heard of him."

Jingshu smiled faintly and replied: "It is said among the people that 'where there is a well, everyone can sing Liu Ci'. How could I not have heard of such a famous Jiangnan talent?"

The third girl said mysteriously: "I heard that the official school is going to invite Liu Qilang to teach."

The third girl kept talking to Jingshu about Liu Yunzhi. It was not until she arrived in front of Lanyaxuan that she reluctantly separated from Jingshu. Before leaving, she said to Jingshu: "If Liu Qilang really comes to the official school to teach, I will I must ask him for a book of poetry."

Back at Qingfeng Garden, Jingshu took Danzhu to the small warehouse. The day after tomorrow was her father’s birthday, so she had to carefully choose some decent gifts for him.

She spent a lot of time choosing the gifts. When she left the small warehouse, the full moon was already rising. She and Danzhu had just returned to the house with the gifts they had chosen, when they saw Ziyun coming in from outside carrying a food box. .

Jingshu concentrated on playing with the things she wanted to give to her father, and asked without raising her head: "Is the prince back?"

Ziyun replied angrily: "I'm back, I'm busy in the study, and my maid has also sent over the midnight snack."

Hearing Ziyun's calm tone, Jingshu looked up at her and asked, "What's wrong? He doesn't like the late-night snack he sent?"

Ziyun muttered: "How could I not like it? I followed your instructions and told my uncle that you made it for him. My uncle was so happy that he ate it all in one go."

Jingshu lowered her head, fiddled with the objects in her hands again, and said calmly: "As long as he is happy."

Ziyun walked to Jingshu's side, took the object from her hand, looked at her and said: "Miss, I think it's not good for you to deal with your uncle like this. I look at you coldly and see that your uncle treats you sincerely. Why do you have to do it for me?" I still remember what happened that day."

Jingshu picked up an inkstone that she wanted to give to her father. She played with it and changed the subject: "Go and pack all these things. You will take them with you when you return to your parents' home tomorrow."
