Chapter 90: Li Ling is jealous



Chapter 90 Li Ling is jealous

The two of them went out in the carriage. Li Ling was disturbed by Qingluan, and his original good mood was gone.

Jing Shu glanced at Li Ling's cold face and said, "Although my cousin is a bit ridiculous, I have made some progress after living here for the past two days."

Li Ling was sitting in the car, snorted coldly, and replied in a tone of hatred: "What improvement has she made? Why didn't I see it?"

"How brave you are!" Jing Shu leaned in front of Li Ling and said seriously: "You yelled at her that day, and she was so frightened that her face turned green. If you look at her just now, I can see that her face is not red, and her heart is not beating. It's much better than that day. From now on, if you bully her a few more times, maybe your cousin will develop her courage and won't be able to be so coquettish and cry all the time."

She held Li Ling's sleeve and said, "If you really pull her over, maybe the emperor will reward you."

Li Ling couldn't help but burst into laughter. She turned her head and looked at her little wife, stretched out her hand and tugged her ears: "I think you are getting bolder and bolder, and you dare to tease me."

Jingshu took advantage of the situation and held his face with both hands, rubbed it vigorously, and asked with a bad smile: "Have you ever asked your parents if you were born with a cold face?"

 “My face is cold to begin with, but when I get angry it becomes even more bluffing.”

Li Ling took advantage of the situation and took his young wife into his arms: "That's why I never get angry with you, just for fear of scaring you."

“That means that no matter what I do wrong, you will never be really angry with me.” Jing Shu murmured as she snuggled into Li Ling’s arms.

Li Ling stared at his little wife in his arms without saying anything, but his face was no longer as cold and solemn as before, and his eyes were full of gentleness.

Even he himself doesn’t understand that no matter how angry he is, his wife can calm down his anger silently with just a few words.

 As long as he is with her, he is always relaxed and happy.

The carriage arrived at Long Street. It was just dark and the streets and alleys were already busy.

The streets on both sides of Chang'an Street are filled with colorful lanterns, the enthusiastic shouts of street vendors come and go, and the streets are crowded with people.

 It’s like a human being.

 The driver stopped the carriage on the side of the road. Li Ling jumped out of the car and reached out to his wife in the car.

Jingshu bowed out of the car and was hugged by Li Ling. Li Ling did not put her down directly, but held her until she walked to the street before putting her down.

He looked at his little wife and joked: "You should eat less in the future. She seems to have gained a lot of weight recently. It's hard for me to hold her."

Jing Shu glared at her: "Just throw me away if you think I'm fat. Humph! There are many young talents here. If anyone doesn't dislike me, I'll go with him." As she said that, she twisted The body blended into the endless flow of people.

Li Lingsan caught up with her in two steps and held her little hand: "How dare you have such thoughts? See how I deal with you when I get back."

Jingshu squinted at him and said, "Perhaps you don't want me to have second thoughts if you dislike me?"

 Li Ling put his arm around her shoulders: "You are not allowed to have any second thoughts. You are mine in this life, the next life, and the next life."

 The two of them were chatting and laughing while walking along the crowd. Chang'an Street Square was the busiest place.

The full moon rises into the sky, and thousands of lanterns light up. Under each lantern hangs a set of lantern riddles. Those who guess different numbers of lantern riddles can win corresponding prizes. The one who guesses ninety-nine lantern riddles is the winner. Being named the "Lamp Chief" can win the first prize of the Lantern Festival - a lotus crystal lantern.

Many people who guessed lantern riddles gathered here. Li Ling and Jing Shu also stopped here. They admired the lanterns and competed in guessing lantern riddles.

“It has legs but cannot walk, has a mouth but cannot speak, and has a face that cannot be washed. Once washed, it becomes ugly.”

Li Ling scratched his head and muttered: "What the **** is this?"

Jing Shu raised her hand and took off the lantern riddle, and said calmly: "It's a clay doll." Li Ling suddenly understood and said "oh", glanced at his wife's proud look, he refused to admit defeat and said: "This thing is for girls to play with. , it’s no big deal if you guessed it.”

Jing Shu glanced at him and said, "How about we compete and accept defeat?"

Li Ling said happily: "Okay, tell me what to use as a lottery ticket."

Jingshu pointed to a tall building not far away: "The loser, please go to Fuyun Restaurant for a drink."

Li Ling geared up: "Okay." After saying that, he couldn't wait to turn to another lamp and read the lantern riddles seriously.

“It has a face but no mouth, feet but no hands. Although it has four legs, it cannot walk on its own.” Just as Li Ling finished reading in a low voice, Jing Shu on the side rushed over and said, “This is the table.”

Li Ling replied dejectedly: "Why is it a 'table'? I think it is a 'frog'"

Jingshu scolded him and argued, "Can't the frog walk?"

Li Ling retorted: "Of course frogs can't walk, they can only jump."

"The frog also has a mouth." After saying that, Jing Shu took off the riddle again, waved it in front of Li Ling's eyes, and said proudly: "I won again."

Li Ling's face darkened, he glared at Jing Shu, then turned around to guess something else.

  "Don't fall into a beauty trap." This time, Li Ling did not read it out. She silently calculated it in her heart and said excitedly: "I know this, it is the virtue of a gentleman."

Jing Shu snorted and said, "It's time to be careful about sex." She took off the lantern riddle, looked at the dumbfounded Li Ling, and added with a hint of sympathy: "'When you are young, your blood is not stable, so be careful. It’s all about color. This is what the Analects of Confucius says.”

 She patted Li Ling on the shoulder and said earnestly: "My husband has read too few books."

Li Ling replied disdainfully: "I can memorize this at the age of five. I was just confused for a moment and didn't remember it."

The two of them were guessing while walking. After half a circle, Jing Shu had already collected more than thirty lantern riddles in her hand, while Li Ling only had four or five in his hand.

Jingshu glanced at Li Ling, whose face was getting darker and darker, and teased him with a smile: "Isn't it just a matter of a drink? Why can't the dignified commander of the city patrol department seem like he can't afford to lose?"

Li Ling glared at his young wife and said, "We're not sure who will win until the end."

The two of them were shouting and guessing lantern riddles here. A man came from a distance and bowed deeply to Jingshu: "Mrs. Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"

Jingshu raised her eyes and saw that the person coming was Liu Yunzhi. She smiled and said in return, "What a coincidence. I never expected to meet Mr. Liu here."

 Li Ling, who was concentrating on guessing lantern riddles not far away, heard the sound, walked over in a few steps, stood in front of Jing Shu, and said to Liu Yunzhi lightly: "It turns out to be Mr. Liu."

Liu Yunzhi glanced at Li Ling, who was tightly blocking Jing Shu, twitched the corner of his mouth, and replied: "The last time I visited the house, I was rejected by General Li, but I never thought that the general would still remember Liu. "

Liu Yunzhi saw the lantern riddle in Li Ling's hand, a trace of disdain flashed across his face, and he sneered: "I never thought the general would be so elegant."

Li Ling weighed the pitiful lantern riddles in his hand and replied coldly: "These things are just tricks for coaxing children." As he said that, he glanced at the thick lantern riddles Liu Yunzhi was holding in his hand. After a stack of pages, he said disdainfully: "Mr. Liu is quite good at this."

Jing Shu saw that the two of them were not talking to each other, so she held Li Ling's sleeve, smiled at Liu Yunzhi and said, "My husband and I are going to have a drink at Fuyun Restaurant. Let's go ahead and see you later."
