Chapter 45
Who was staring at her?
Ling Jingshu seemed to feel something and glanced back suspiciously
The triangular-eyed man was very alert and turned around almost the instant Ling Jingshu turned her head
Ling Jingshu’s eyes quickly swept around, and as far as she could see, there were the usual laborers and traders at the pier, as well as the boat passengers, nothing unusual
That strange discomfort of being watched closely disappeared as wellAh Shu, what’s wrong?”
Ling Xiao senses Ling Jingshu’s tightness and strangeness
Ling Jingshu settled down and smiled, “Nothing, just now it seems that someone was staring at our group
It’s probably because I was too paranoid”
Ling Jingyan interjected with a smile, “Originally, it was you who was paranoid
In broad daylight, we are traveling on an official ship, and we have so many family members with us
What else would those ungrateful bandits dare to think?”
Jiang also laughed and said, “Cousin Shu is as beautiful as she is, and you can tell she’s a stunning beauty even with her hat on
The people on the pier will inevitably look at her a few times when they see her”
Being teased by Jiang, the hint of doubt in Ling Jingshu’s heart was no longer good enough to show, and she laughed and laughed at herself, “It seems that I’m too nervous, I always feel that someone is staring at us”
Ling Ji laughed dumbly, “Even if there are those ill-intentioned people, they definitely wouldn’t dare to hit the official ship
You can rest assured”
The river transportation was convenient and developed, which also created a group of water bandits
These bandits not only have a boat, but also a strong hand and know how to use the water
Specialized in the middle of the night in the secluded place of the river to take action
However, the water bandits are bold, see the official boat also have to retreat three times around the way
Thieves do not fight with the government!
There is no reason for a bandit to rob an official ship
Ling Jingshu pursed her lips and smiled, not saying anything more
The people went back to the ship and each went into their cabins to rest
The cooks came back soon
The cooks had bought fresh ingredients, and the noon meal was exceptionally delicious
Especially a steamed white fish, it was even more flavorful
Ling Xiao likes fish the most, and this steamed white fish was very much to his liking, and he almost ate most of it by himself
Ling Jingshu carefully removes the fish thorns for Ling Xiao and puts the tender and flavorful fish meat into Ling Xiao’s bowl
Sun watched Ling Jingshu’s every move in her eyes, adding a few more points to this gentle and quiet niece
The word care could not just be put in verbalization, everyone could see Ling Jingshu’s care and love and unfailing concern for Ling XiaoAh Shu, don’t always pick the fish spines for me”
Ling Xiao whispers, “I’m almost full, and you’re still hungry until now!”
Ling Jingshu responded perfunctorily, but the movements of her hands did not stop at all
Other people watching her tending to Ling Xiao would definitely praise her in their hearts for being a gentle and careful older sister
But to her, this was the most natural thing
She also never viewed taking care of Ling Xiao as a burden
It was because of Ling Xiao that she had become stronger
After lunch, the group sat down to gossip as usual
Ling Jingyan smiled ingratiatingly and said, “Mother, I was wandering around the pier today and saw a rouge store that had a lot of good rouge, so I specially bought some for you!”
Sun’s eyes clearly had a smile in them, but her mouth teased, “I think you bought too much, so share some of it with me, so that I can be coaxed into being the wrongdoer, and make up for all the silver you spent!”
Ling Jingyan was told through the intention, also not ashamed, smiling frankly admitted: “The one who gave birth to me is my mother, and the one who knows me is also my mother
So, will you make up for the silver you spent today or not!”
The crowd was amused
Sun’s guffawed, “It’s just that, you have the cheek to ask for a trip, how could I not agree”
There was intimacy in the teasing
Ling Jingshu listened with a smile, but her heart was slightly saddened
Only a young girl who has a mother who loves and favors her has the right to be arrogant and capricious
She lost her own mother early, her own father was only concerned about eating, drinking and indulging in sex, indifferent to her
Seemingly love her grandmother, but also face Mercy heart cold
Compared to the pampered Ling Jingyan, it’s really far worse
The good thing is that there is also A Xiao and she is dependent on each other
Ling Ji deliberately coughed: “Mother can not favor one over the other
Today bought rouge and pollen can be more than just a sister”
Jiang’s daughter-in-law’s thin skin, his son has nothing to be ashamed to open his mouth
Besides, these days Jiang’s in front of her mother-in-law suffered a lot of aggression
Ling Ji opened his mouth at this time, not without Jiang’s meaning of pleasing
Ling Ji’s mind, how can Sun not see
Half-true, half-false, scolded a few words: “Married daughter-in-law forgetting mother, this saying is not true at all
Only know heartache daughter-in-law, I really white birth white pain you”
Ling Ji did not refute, just smile and let Sun count
Jiang’s heart is warm and melting, imploring to look at her husband
When she had not yet out of the cabinet, the family is outstanding, talent and appearance are good, the door to propose marriage is not a few
The Ling family was just one of them
She hid behind the screen, and at a glance, she fell in love with Ling Ji
Facts proved that she really did not marry the wrong person
After marriage, Ling Ji has been treating her warmly and considerately
Her in-laws were also quite generous
Although not married to a noble family’s scenery and prominence, the day is also comfortable and smooth
It would be better if she could conceive an heir earlier!
Ling Jingshu, who had been smiling and silent, sighed softly in an envious tone, “Cousin Yan and cousin sister-in-law can both report public accounts, it’s really enviable”
Sun immediately laughed, “That’s just it, how much silver you and A Xiao spent on the things you bought, count it all on my account”
Ling Jingshu said, “How can this be a good thing”, but her face was smiling happily
Thus, the generous Sun Clan became even happier
In fact, this amount of silver was nothing
The younger generation this kind of behavior, just to coax her happy
This intention is the most happy Sun
Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite cordial
Ling Jingyan also told Sun about the scene at the pier as an anecdote: ”
At that time, I don’t know which Menglang’s lout was staring at Cousin Shu all the time
It scared Cousin Shu so much that she didn’t dare to move
Thought she was being targeted by some bandit!”
Sun lost her smile, “In broad daylight and a clear sky, which bandit would dare to hit an official ship
Sister Shu doesn’t have to scare herself”
Ling Jingshu, who had been teased again, smiled helplessly, “Is cousin Yan going to make fun of me all the way to the capital?”
Ling Jingshu was not one to be unforgiving of reason, and at her words, she raised her right fist in a serious manner and swore, “In the future, I will only mention it once a day to make everyone laugh, and I will never mention it a second time”
When this statement came out, all the people laughed
In the sound of jokes and laughter, the official ship left the pier and sailed forward gently
