Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

At dinner time, when Bai Xing was dining with Mrs. Bai, the concierge came to report that Prince Pingyang was visiting.

While he was talking, Li Yiwei had already lifted up his robe and stepped into the old lady's courtyard. He had just seen someone and said with a smile, "How are you doing, grandma?" His laughter was bright, and his eyebrows were gentle and suave.

Mrs. Bai raised her hand and said, "Come on, come on, you're here by chance... Today the kitchen has made your favorite sauce elbow, and it's still hot!"

"I just came here because of the smell!" Li Yiwei smiled and asked his entourage to wait outside the hospital, then quickly walked over and sat next to Mrs. Bai, then nodded to Bai Xing, "My cousin is here too. , I’m afraid uncle has been very busy these past two days, right?”

Bai Xing held his chopsticks in an awkward position and shrugged indifferently when he heard the words, "He is a minister of the Ministry of Industry, and there has been no major construction work recently. What is there to be busy with? No, yesterday I went to have a drink with someone. He was so drunk that he was unconscious and was carried back."

The old lady who was drinking soup was slightly startled and looked up in surprise. How could she remember yesterday...

But in a flash, she lowered her head and smiled, took a slow sip of the soup, and then said, "Don't talk to him, you just had dinner with me today, and I don't usually see you. I look at the sun not rising in the west today, why do you two kids think of me, an old woman?"

Li Yiwei took the bowl and chopsticks handed over by the servant. He didn't reach for the pork elbow that had been brought to him. He only scooped up a spoonful of soup, took a sip, and then said with a smile, "I happened to be running errands nearby. I was hungry, so I wanted to Come and have a meal with grandma."

Mrs. Bai glanced at the sauced elbow and said with a kind smile, "It's a rare time for you to come here, but you didn't send someone to tell me in advance so that I could prepare some of your favorite food. I'll wait for you to be free in a few days. Let me cook you a delicious meal... Are you busy these days? Is your mother okay? "

Li Yiwei put down the soup bowl and then sat upright to answer the old lady's question, "My mother has been working hard and contracted a cold, but she has recovered... I am not picky about food, and today's meal is very good, so there is no need to bother the kitchen. The ground is specially prepared... It's nice to come here with the smell like today, isn't it?" After saying that, he winked playfully, as if the person sitting here was not the current prince, but just an ordinary young man. , came to my grandfather’s house to take a look at the family members and relatives I missed.

The old lady squinted her eyes and smiled, watching Li Yiwei eat with kind eyes. She turned around and caught a glimpse of the white chopsticks reaching for the sauced elbow. With a flash of eyes, she knocked over with the chopsticks and scolded angrily, "Eat, eat, eat! You know how to eat!" It's a rare visit for your cousin, and you still don't know how to give in. Since when did our family lose you?"

The corner of Bai Xing's mouth twitched, and he whispered unconvincedly, "Grandma is really partial... Whenever my cousin comes over, even the good things in our family won't be my turn..."

"Look, what are you talking about?" Li Yiwei shook his head and laughed. He put the elbow in front of Bai Xing again and joked, "Eat for you, eat for you, eat for you... I've been eating it since I was a child. You don’t care about these things with me. Now that you are about to get married, you still care about these things. My cousin and I can’t come here a few times throughout the year and we can’t have a few meals. Even if my grandmother is partial to the sky, she will only be partial every year. So many times...childish temper!"

The old lady nodded and said, "That's right! A child's temper!"

Li Yiwei put down the bowl and chopsticks, stopped eating, and continued to joke with a smile, "We should find him a wife who can take care of the house and take care of him! Does grandma have a girl he likes?" When he mentioned this, Mr. Bai The lady was so angry that she looked at Bai Xing again and said with disdain, "What's the use of my match? Even if I win the match, the old woman wouldn't dare to find a matchmaker to come to her door to propose a marriage." Old lady, I want face! Look at this boy, does he have any kind of person? Which girl can fall in love with such a girl? And you still control him... Can anyone control this naughty monkey? "

"Hey, hey, hey... you can eat as much as you want!" Bai Xing glanced at Li Yiwei lazily, "You have to pick up which pot you don't open, right?"

Li Yiwei smiled good-naturedly and waved his hand, indicating that the topic would end there. He only paused and sighed, "I met Miss Ji in the teahouse two days ago... I didn't expect that Chuji Drug Store turned out to belong to Miss Ji. Now. All the pharmacies in Yanjing City are raising prices and making shady money, but Chuji Pharmacy... I didn't expect that the little girl's family is very righteous. When I saw my grandmother liking her so much, I thought she would become the future white lady. The young lady's, unexpectedly, was taken over by the third master..."

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and smiled, "That kid... Bai Xing is not good enough." It was obvious that she really liked him from the bottom of her heart.

Even Bai Xing became a little more serious, "Wuyan is my sister, a real sister. You can't say nonsense like this about your cousin. It's not good if someone who cares hears it and spreads rumors."

Li Yiwei nodded and said yes, picked up the rice bowl and ate with chopsticks. Then, as if he suddenly remembered, he turned to ask Mrs. Bai, "Grandma, I remember a few years ago, when I was still young, you always told me about the past. An old friend said that she is a woman who is not inferior to men. Now, grandma likes Miss Ji so much, but how similar does she think she is to her old friend? "

Mrs. Bai was about to nod her head in agreement when she was lightly kicked under the table. She was distracted, and then she half-rised up to scoop out a bowl of soup as if nothing had happened. She handed it to Li Yiwei and then said, "Well... I still have it." Did I tell you about that old guy? It’s nothing. The little girl is pretty and cute, with a sweet mouth. Everyone would like her, but when it comes to the charm of an old friend, it’s hard to compare.”

Two completely different people, one is heroic and vigorous, the other is gentle, noble and graceful.

Of course it's hard to compare.

Li Yiwei drank the soup slowly, nodded to himself, and asked suddenly, "Grandma's old friend, is his surname also Ji?" After asking, he turned his head and looked.

But Mrs. Bai happened to be eating the food with her eyebrows downcast. She didn't react strangely when she heard the words. She just chewed her food slowly and then slowly raised her eyelids and looked over, "Huh? Why do you think her surname is Ji? What are you doing today?" Why do you think of her?"

"It's nothing, I just brought it up suddenly and asked casually."

It was obviously a careful test, but he pretended to mention it casually. How could the old lady not see through it? But he didn’t explicitly break it, he just said, “Although we are old friends, we haven’t heard from each other for many years... People, it’s always like this. The good feelings we had in the past will just go away... It’s gone... Oh! I won’t mention it anymore... It’ll be sad if I mention it! Eat quickly, the dishes are already cold."
