Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 139: Being able to protect her is happiness

 The ninth day of April is an ordinary day, but this day has been remembered by Jingshu for a long time.

 Early in the morning that day, she did not lie down in bed. Instead, she got up early and called Ziyun to help clean up.

Ziyun yawned and entered the room, glanced at the clock on the wall, and sighed: "From the inn in front to Chaozhou, even if I spread my wings, I won't be able to come back early in the morning. Why don't you go more Get some sleep."

Jingshu was burying her head in the closet and rummaging through clothes. When she heard this, she replied without raising her head: "I haven't seen him for half a month, so I have to dress up brightly."

As she spoke, she picked out a pink skirt, put it on her body, measured it, and asked Ziyun, "What do you think I think of wearing this?"

Without waiting for Ziyun's answer, she shook her head dissatisfied: "This one seems too bright and seems kitsch." As she said that, she picked out another sky blue one with brown embroidered phoenix birds, and asked, "What about this one?" Sample?"

Ziyun looked at her young lady's excited expression, smiled and joked: "You are a commoner Jingchai, and in my uncle's eyes you are also a fairy."

Jingshu pushed Ziyun and said, "Oh, I asked you to make a decision, but you made fun of me instead."

Remembering how dignified and solemn my young lady looked all day long when she first married her uncle, and now I look at this little woman, she is even more playful and lively than before she came out of the cabinet.

After Ziyun helped Jingshu choose clothes and dress neatly, Jingshu sat on the dressing table and carefully applied her makeup and selected jewelry.

The two of them packed up carefully. Ziyun looked at Jingshu with a hibiscus-like face in the mirror, and said with a smile: "I dress up so brightly, my uncle's eyes will be glued to his eyes again when he sees it."

Jingshu glared at Ziyun: "Even if I don't dress up, he won't dare to look at others."

Ziyun naturally believes that his uncle is no longer the same as when he just got married. Now, as long as his young lady frowns, the majestic and solemn prince will sweat with anxiety.

Thinking of this, Ziyun couldn't help but praise: "This is not because you are a charioteer. If you call someone else, you may not be able to subdue someone like my uncle."

Jingshu looked slightly proud and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go outside the city and wait for my husband."

The two of them walked out of the yard. Ziyun glanced at Jiang Youchen's yard and asked, "My uncle asked the third son to accompany you to pick him up. Should we call him?"

Jingshu hesitated for a moment and replied, "Let's forget it. It's so early and it's not easy to disturb my cousin."

Ziyun nodded, and as Jingshu left Jiang Mansion, Hua Yinzi called a carriage and headed out of the city.

When the two of them arrived at the city gate, the sun had just risen. Standing on the city tower and looking into the distance, it was still misty.

Ziyun sat on the city tower, looking at Jingshu who had been standing on the observation deck of the city gate, and kept admonishing: "It's still early, I can't arrive so early. You can sit down and have a rest."

 “Can you come over and have a drink of water?”

 “Are you tired of standing there all the time?”

 “You are about to become a watchman’s stone.”

No matter how much Ziyun tried to persuade her, Jingshu still stood persistently on the observation deck and stretched her neck to look around, waiting for the man she longed for.

"Why did you come out so early? Why didn't you call me?"

Just when Ziyun had nothing to do with his stubborn young lady, Jiang Youchen climbed onto the tower and walked slowly towards them.

When Jing Shu saw her cousin coming, she came down from the observation deck and replied: "I came out too early, I don't have the nerve to disturb my cousin." Jiang Youchen still had a warm smile on his face, not at all disturbed by Jing Shu's surprise. The slightest hint of displeasure arose.

 In fact, he has never been angry with her once since he was a child. No matter how willful she is or how she treats him, he always treats her with the same gentleness.

 It was as if his tolerance and love for her were natural and justified.

Jing Shu, on the other hand, saw that she and her cousin had met each other, but he did not complain at all, which made her feel a little sorry: "Cousin, is he busy today? If he is busy with something, Ziyun and I can just wait here."

Jiang Youchen just replied lightly: "I'm not busy" and sat down quietly.

Jiang Youchen naturally knew that it would take until evening to get here from the inn in front, even if he rode hard, but he did not mention this and just waited quietly with Jing Shu.

The three of them waited until noon. Jingshu and Ziyun had not eaten even a drop of rice in the morning, and now they were hungry.

Jiang Youchen then said: "I'll take you down to eat something first."

He looked at Jingshu who was tired of waiting, and gently comforted her: "Don't be anxious, cousin. I am familiar with the defender here. If my cousin is worried, I will go and tell the defender. If I see General Li coming, Just call us and we will not delay my cousin's arrival from General Li."

Jingshu naturally knew that Li Ling would not be back soon, so she just asked her to wait at home peacefully. She really couldn't sit still, so she would rather stay here.

  Men and women in love are stupid.

Jingshu is no exception.

Hearing what Jiang Youchen said, Jing Shu replied: "No need to bother guarding the city. Let's just go to eat first. He won't be back for a while."

The three of them got off the city tower. Jiang Youchen thoughtfully chose a restaurant not far from the city tower. The area was remote, and the few restaurants there were were simple and simple. They were only set up to provide a quick meal for passers-by entering and leaving the city.

The three of them sat down in front of the window. Jiang Youchen ordered three bowls of plain noodles and a few side dishes.

During the meal, he saw that Jingshu was always depressed, so he tried to cheer her up and said, "Cousin, don't be anxious, just eat well. Only after you fill your stomach will you have the strength to climb the tower."

Ziyun was amused by these words and laughed, and also joked: "Yes, we have to wait for another afternoon. If the young lady misses this meal and becomes hungry and thin, my uncle will feel bad when he sees her later."

Jingshu glared at them both: "If I had known you two were laughing at me like this, I wouldn't have brought you here."

Jiang Youchen teased Jing Shu with a smile and said, "You didn't bring me here, I followed you here."

The three of them finished their lunch and went up to the tower again. It was already mid-April, the weather was warm and the spring breeze was gentle. Ziyun sat down and took a nap.

  Accompanying the beloved woman here waiting for her husband to return is undoubtedly a huge torture for ordinary men, but for Jiang Youchen, he did not show any anxiety at all.

He stood quietly on the tower, his clothes fluttering in the spring breeze, and his jade-like face still had a calm look.

He has always liked his cousin, but she didn't have any feelings for him. He didn't resent her because of this. He was also happy for her when he saw that she met a man who could make her happy.

At this moment, being able to quietly guard her and accompany her as an elder brother is the greatest happiness for Jiang Youchen.
