Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

When the conversation got to this point, Li Yiwei naturally didn't want to ask any more questions, so he just smiled and drank the soup with his head down.

During this period, he raised his head several times, ready to introduce the topic with pleasantries, but every time before he opened his mouth, the old lady quickly picked up the food and persuaded him to eat it. After doing this several times, even Li Yiwei was not sure whether it was his previous probing words and deeds. Being noticed by her grandmother made her unhappy, so she didn't dare to speak rashly again. After eating, he sat with the old lady for a while, had a cup of tea, and said some personal remarks about family affairs, before Li Yiwei stood up and left.

Mrs. Bai repeatedly told him to "pay attention to your body and don't overwork yourself." She took his hand and led him to the door of the courtyard before stopping at Li Yiwei's repeated efforts. Li Yiwei took a few steps and turned around to see the old lady still holding the door frame and looking around. Then he smiled and waved his hand to let people in quickly. Grandma looked the same as usual, so maybe she just persuaded him to eat more... He thought like this, and then his slightly uneasy mood slowly calmed down.

When he walked to the door, he saw the Ji family's carriage. Li Yiwei paused slightly. The boy leading the way had already said with a smile, "That's the maid next to Miss Ji. It was also at this time yesterday that I gave some gifts." When the soup came over, it was said that it was prepared by Divine Doctor Chen. Every master has some, and there are many more. I heard that the old lady gave them to the stewards..."

Li Yiwei stood there, watching the little girl hand the food box to the concierge very familiarly, then waved her hands with a smile, turned around, got into the carriage and left without stopping for a moment.

This thing seems quite ordinary.

Grandma liked Ji Wuyan and recognized her granddaughter. Although she didn't have much contact with her on weekdays, at this juncture, she boiled some soup and sent it to the house to express her feelings. There was nothing wrong with her, and she was considered a good person. What's more, the Ji family does have a miracle doctor. His medical skills are unknown, but his reputation is quite famous. This caused the Chen family to travel thousands of miles to ask for someone, and caused one farce after another... The father seems to be interested in it these days. Li Yiwei naturally knew about having people come into the palace to treat him, but for some reason, when he saw the maid smiling and waving goodbye, he felt indescribably weird.

Li Yiwei waved to the oncoming concierge, who trotted over to say hello. He opened the lid of the food box and took a look. It was a multi-layered food box. Only the first layer was visible, a white porcelain bowl with gold rim. , the decoction was about 70% full. Li Yiwei didn’t understand pharmacology and couldn’t tell what was in it. He just put the lid back on and asked the concierge, “Don’t you want someone to test it?”

The concierge bowed again and said respectfully, "The old lady told me that when people from the Ji family come, they don't need to pass the news. They can just invite them in. There is no need to check the things sent by the Ji family. They can be given to whichever master they should be given to." go."

That weird feeling came again.

Li Yiwei frowned, pointed at the food box, and reminded, "But this is a soup, how can we be negligent?"

The porter knelt down suddenly, without begging for mercy or explaining. He just lowered his head and knelt in silence, still holding the food box firmly in his hand. The boy who was leading the way was relatively smart, and he came to the rescue with a smile, "It'll be okay. The county prince doesn't know anything. Yesterday, Mr. Chen checked the pulses of all the masters in our house. I heard that the old lady The decoction is dispensed separately and is on the bottom layer of the food box. It is different from other people’s decoctions and it can also prolong life!”

Li Yiwei was slightly stunned, and subconsciously wanted to lift the lid of the food box. After thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't understand either side, so he gave up and waved his hand to let people go down.

When the concierge delivered the decoction to the old lady's yard, it was the grandma who took it. He did not deliberately mention the scene of being stopped by Li Yiwei at the door - the county prince and the Bai family have always been close, and caring about the decoction that the old lady took would have been a problem. There is nothing wrong with it. If you mention it deliberately, it will seem like you are complaining. When grandma went in with the soup, Bai Xing was happily gnawing on the soy elbow that Li Yiwei had never touched. Grandma smiled with her eyes narrowed, put the old lady's soup down, and then gave it to Bai Xing too. After a bowl, he said with a smile, "Two days ago, the kitchen chef was still saying that after so many years, I have been tired of eating the other dishes for several rounds. Just this sauce pork elbow, the young master will never get tired of it..."

Mrs. Bai took the soup and raised her eyebrows with a faint smile. She pursed her lips towards Bai Xing and said with disdain, "It's just a way of eating like this. It's been years since I've made any progress... Go and get him a handkerchief and some hot water."

Grandma nodded and agreed with a smile, and then listened to the old lady's instructions, "Don't be in a hurry, just walk slowly." Grandma was stunned for a moment, the smile on her face faded a little, and she nodded slightly cautiously and said - I am This person had something to say. When grandma left, she took away all the maids in the yard.

Mrs. Bai lowered her head and took a sip of the decoction. It was a bit bitter. She pursed her lips and looked at her grandson who was enjoying the meal. Sauced pork elbow is not only Bai Xing's favorite dish, but also Yiwei's favorite. At that time, the two children would always compete to eat it. Even if they made two plates, they would have to grab the other's before their own plate was finished.

They were anxious, as if the Bai family couldn't afford the food for their two children, as if they could grab something more delicious.

But obviously, today's Yiwei doesn't like this dish anymore... There are many royal rules, and the food is exquisite and beautiful, but it is often flashy. Dishes like braised pork ribs with sauce cannot be served on the royal table. When Yiwei was a child, he would come here to eat every time he served this dish... When did he gradually stop coming? Even if he came over, he would not let anyone inform him in advance. He would eat his meal in a polite manner, drink a cup of tea, and then stand up to leave. Everything he said seemed to be similar to polite.

Bai Xing finished chewing the sauced elbow, then licked the fingertips stained with sauce, and sat down on the chair with his belly puffed out, smiling at his grandmother, looking satisfied after eating and drinking.

Even my mother would be disgusted when she saw him.

Even the old lady felt that no girl would like this stupid kid with such a silly and bad-brained look... She shook her head, but the words of disgust were stuck in her throat and she suddenly felt like saying no. He came out, and after a long while, he asked, "Just now... why did you tell your cousin that your father came back after he went out to eat and drink and was very drunk yesterday?" His father had been in the house discussing matters with his subordinates yesterday. !

Bai Xing changed his position and lay down. When he heard this, he said "huh?" and wondered, "Didn't he go out for a drink yesterday? Did his grandson miss a note?... Hey, if he didn't go out yesterday, he went out the day before yesterday. Doesn’t the old man just go out every now and then and get drunk and be carried back home?”

fart! Mrs. Bai looked at her grandson's free attitude, gritted her teeth, and asked, "Then why did you kick me before?"
