Chapter 5 Husband and wife quarrel

 In July, the weather is getting hotter day by day. After dinner, Zhu Dan and Bilu brought the watermelon up from the well, removed the rind and cut it into small pieces, and served it to Jingshu and Li Ling.

The two of them were sitting together eating melon, and Li Ling said, "On the second day of the Lunar New Year, General Xuexianna will be engaged. You come with me to the General's Mansion to watch the ceremony."

This General Zhou is Zhou Yi who failed in the battle against the Xiongnu in his previous life. He is now over forty years old. His first wife passed away due to illness, and he was ordered to remarry. The person he accepted was the one who wanted to embarrass her in public at the old lady's birthday banquet that day, Zhao Yuan'er, the princess of Jian County.

Jingshu was really annoyed with her.

 “I have something to do on the second day of the Lunar New Year, so I can’t go with you.”

Li Ling did not expect his wife to refuse and asked, "What are you doing that day?"

“I made an appointment with my sister-in-law to go to Princess Lanling’s flower viewing party that day.” She did have an appointment with Xu Wanning.

It was also a coincidence that we happened to meet together.

"I'll tell my sister-in-law tomorrow and I'll just push it back." Li Ling had already made the decision for his wife, and he didn't mean to discuss it with her again.

“I have already made an agreement with my sister-in-law, how can I break the agreement?”

Li Ling never expected that his wife would contradict him. He put down the melon he was eating, looked at Jing Shu and said, "It's just a flower viewing party, so what if I don't go?"

 The implication is that she must obey his words.

Seeing Li Ling's cold face, Jing Shu felt unhappy and replied: "I made an appointment with my sister-in-law the day before yesterday. You just came to make an appointment with me today. Everything naturally comes first, doesn't it? Besides, I am in the boudoir. I am familiar with Princess Lanling. She has a cheerful temperament and I like to get along with her. I don’t know General Zhou, and as for his Gangna bride, I don’t like it even more. Why do you have to force me to go? "

The little wife said with a stern face and said something like a thunderbolt, which really calmed Li Ling.

 A few days ago, he had seen how unruly she was in her speech and behavior. He was considerate of her young age and being a bride, so he simply turned a blind eye and let it go. Unexpectedly, she indulged her even more, and now she was getting bolder and bolder.

He actually didn’t take his husband seriously at all!

“I’ve postponed the flower viewing party and come with me to General Zhou’s Mansion.” Li Ling stared at her and his tone turned cold.

He has a cold face, which usually makes people stay away from him, but now he is even more bluffing when he is angry.

The two of them were having a bad time here, and the girl who was calling outside stood at the door and asked someone in charge to reply.

Jing Shu didn't know how to deal with Li Ling, so she quickly replied: "Bring the people in."

Within a moment, Mrs. Wang, the steward of the mansion, took Mrs. Li from the third master’s yard. The two of them walked into the back of the house and respectfully greeted Li Ling and Jing Shu: “My slave, please give your regards to the prince and his wife.”

Jing Shu saw that the two of them looked unhappy and asked, "Do you have anything to report?"

Although she is the mistress, she has just been married and is not yet a formal housekeeper. However, she has gained the favor of the old lady since hosting the birthday banquet, and everyone in the house naturally treats her as the mistress of the house.

The two women looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces. Finally, it was Wang Po who spoke up and said, "Madam, something happened in the third master's yard."

The third master, Li Xiang, is Li Ling's younger brother. The Duke of Zhen is in poor health and the eldest princess is away from the house all the year round. Therefore, the responsibility of raising the younger brother naturally falls on Li Ling, the elder brother.

Li Ling heard that it was his younger brother and asked, "What's wrong with the third child?"

Mrs. Wang secretly poked Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li hesitated and replied: "As for the Master, it's a little girl named Xing'er in the third master's yard. Today, this servant went to clean the third master's house and happened to bump into her by chance. She With Third Master. With Third Master."

Mr. Li glanced at Li Ling's face, which was gradually turning cold. She was frightened and hesitated, not daring to say any more.

The family rules of the town government are very strict. Men are not allowed to take concubines before marrying a wife. They are afraid that their children and grandchildren will be addicted to women when they are young, which will delay their progress. Of course, you can accept it after you get married. At that time, the house is under the control of the mistress, so naturally you are not afraid of those charming men pestering the men.

 So, before she married Li Ling, Li Ling's house was very clean. Even though she had been with him for five years in the previous life, he didn't take a concubine. It was also because of this that although she was later angry with Li Ling for doing such an outrageous thing for Qingluan, she still had a glimmer of hope in him.

 “Insolent!” Li Ling was the most disciplined person, and now he was completely angry. Mrs. Li was so frightened that she still had the courage to continue speaking.

Mrs. Wang is the steward of the house, so she naturally has more ideas than Mrs. Li. Seeing that the prince was angry, she quickly added: "The third master has always done his duty, and it must have been seduced by that little hoof. Don't be upset, prince. I will take care of that hoof tomorrow." Get out of the house."

After the eldest princess had a falling out with the Duke, she simply ignored her two young children, the third master and the third girl, and returned to the princess's residence.

The younger grandson of the third grandfather was big with a big wife. The baby was like a babies. The third grandfather committed the family rules. It just so happens that the old lady has been ill these past few days. Who dares to mention this and upset the old lady. It's just that people didn't dare to report such a thing, so they came to report it to the prince and his wife.

The prince has always been strict, and Aunt Li was worried that her young master would be punished, so naturally she wanted to throw dirty water on the restless little girl.

 “Go and call the third child.” Li Ling replied with a cold face.

After a while, the third master, Li Xiang, came in with a drooping head. He saw that his brother was very angry and just stood aside with his head lowered. He was so bluffed that he did not dare to express his anger.

 “You are becoming more and more promising.” Li Ling reprimanded him harshly when he opened his mouth.

“The gentleman in the mansion has told me many times that you are cheating and cheating, but you can’t make progress in studies, and your martial arts skills are also mediocre. For such a grown-up person, if you are not good at literature or martial arts, you should learn from the ways of those playboys.”

The third master, Li Xiang, lowered his head and did not dare to look at his brother. He mumbled and replied, "It was my fault."

Seeing that he admitted his mistake, Li Ling couldn't blame him any more in front of his wife. He glared at him and said, "I'll go to the ancestral hall to get thirty boards later."

 “Yes.” Li Xiang agreed happily.

Li Ling continued: "Next month, you can join the army with me."

  It is not a discussion tone.

Li Xiang was shocked when he heard this, and raised his head and looked at his brother in confusion.

Li Ling explained: "You are not young anymore. Since you are not good at reading, it is better to go to the army and get some experience."

Although it hurts to get hit, it will be fine if you get over it. Go to the military? Or go to your brother's army? That is endless suffering.

Li Ling was very strict in running the army. Although he was Li Ling's younger brother, Li Xiang knew very well that his brother would not open a back door for him. On the contrary, with his brother's temperament, he will definitely be pushed wherever he is tired.

 This is no fun!

 He doesn't want to suffer that.

"Second brother, I'm not like you. I was born to be a general. I'd better study hard. This time I really know that I was wrong. I promise not to mess around in the future and work hard to make progress. From now on, you will study martial arts and I will study literature. We brothers are united and will shine on our family." Li Xiang was really scared this time. He raised his head and looked at his brother anxiously expressing his determination to make progress.

Li Ling picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and replied: "When you are in the army, your studies cannot be neglected. Just come to my camp after practicing every day and I will teach you personally."

ah? ? !

 Li Xiang wants to cry.

“Second brother, you are so busy, how can I bother you? I can just learn from my husband at home.”

"This matter is settled. Go ahead, get the board, recover from your injuries, and then follow me to the army." Li Ling was too lazy to listen to his brother's nagging and made the final decision.

Li Xiang really cried. He glanced at his brother's face but didn't dare to say anything more.

Li Ling: Is it so difficult for you to accompany me just once?

Jingshu: Sorry, I have something to do, so I won’t accompany you.

Li Ling: I would be very upset if I don’t take such a beautiful daughter-in-law out to show off.
