incense as a medium

Chapter 115
Liu Bailu is very busy every day, so naturally she has no time to take care of others. Her embroidery has sold surprisingly well after being taken to Yuling Pass. A handkerchief has been sold from two taels of silver to five taels of silver.

"Is that store reliable?" Thinking of Kang Yibang's temptation that day, Liu Bailu felt a little uncertain.

Qi Peiyun sat behind her and helped her take care of the silk thread, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, that store is a century-old store in Yuling Pass. I saved their young master's life a few years ago. I gave these things directly to his young master to sell them in the store. No one knows where they came from. As for Kang Yibang, he just thought that in such a remote place, there should be no embroiderers who are no less skilled than you He only spoke out to test you. He really knows you."

Liu Bailu licked her hair with a needle, turned her head and smiled and said, "Could it be that Qingcheng overturned the vinegar jar? Why did such a strong smell of vinegar get in?"

"Hmph." Qi Peiyun turned to give her the back of the head, but the red ears betrayed him.

Liu Bailu pursed his lips and smiled, and was about to tease him, but heard someone knocking on the door outside, the two looked at each other, Qi Peiyun put down the silk thread, straightened his clothes and went out, as soon as he went out, he saw Qingcheng standing at the door of the main room , he scolded in a low voice: "Go back!"

Qingcheng was startled, and quickly retreated.

Qi Peiyun glared at the main room before he raised his voice and asked, "Who is it!"

"Someone is here at my aunt's house." Someone outside responded.

"Grandma?" Qi Peiyun repeated subconsciously, people from the Liu family always sent a letter one day in advance, so who would come without warning?Could it be the grandfather's house?He hurried over and asked, "But the Ding family in the capital?"

"It's my aunt's house." The outsider replied, and urged: "Hurry up and open the door."

Qi Peiyun hurriedly opened the door, looked at the several people standing outside and the two carts behind and asked in confusion: "Who is here?"

The one who knocked on the door was a little girl who had just grown her hair. She looked Qi Peiyun up and down, regarded him as the door, and said: "The one who came is Mama Tian who is next to your master's aunt."

Madam Tian is Madam Ding's personal maid, she is three or five years older than Madam Ding, she can almost be said to have watched Madam Ding grow up, and she is extremely trusted by Madam Ding.

Although the Qi Ding family had contacts with her natal family in the capital in recent years, they were not very frequent after all, and the Ding family seemed to want to avoid suspicion, and did not treat them very warmly.Now Mrs. Ding actually sent Mother Tian over, what is this for?Qi Peiyun was puzzled, but since the person who came was a servant, there was no need for him to entertain him, so he said: "Why don't you get out of the car? Are you still waiting for me to meet you?"

"Hey, how do you talk?" The little girl glared at Qi Peiyun, and said, "This is a capable person around your aunt, so the housekeeper should come out to greet you anyway?"

"Don't be rude!" Tian's mother was waiting in the car, but she felt a little surprised when she heard Qi Peiyun's words at this time, so she lifted the curtain to see, Qi Peiyun has changed a lot these years, and Tian's mother recognized it for a long time Only when she recognized the person from the eyebrows and eyes similar to Qi Zhen, she immediately stopped the little girl, got out of the carriage, walked up to Qi Peiyun and bowed her knees: "This old slave has seen Master Biao."

"Aren't you a disciple? Why are you Biao?" The little girl pointed at Qi Peiyun in surprise and asked.

Qi Peiyun giggled, and said to Tian's mother in an unscrupulous way: "Oh, I'm just a junior, how can I deserve your big gift?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare, I don't know how to teach, don't blame Master Wangbiao, I will teach you a lesson for this blind girl!" Tian's mother's complexion changed slightly, she was Mrs. Ding who was close Of course, she knew Madam Ding's plan, she hurriedly lowered her posture, slapped the little girl, and scolded: "You really blinded your dog's eyes! You can't even recognize Master Biao! What use are you for!"

After Tian's mother scolded, seeing Qi Peiyun smiling at her, she raised her palm and slapped her down again.

Seeing Mother Tian slap her four or five times across the face, Qi Peiyun said slowly: "Come on, come on, I was only nine years old when I left Beijing, and you don't even recognize me, let alone this ten-year-old girl?"

This is to follow Mother Tian's words and call her a dog. If it were the past, Mother Tian would definitely retaliate, but now, she just slapped herself and said: "It's the old slave who is wrong, it's the old man. The slave is wrong, don’t blame Young Master Biao.”

"Come on, come on." Qi Peiyun waved his hand and said: "Our place is small and we can't afford to support so many people. Just tell me what you are here for, and leave as soon as you finish."

Mother Tian was stunned for a moment, he didn't even let anyone in?Seeing the impatience on Qi Peiyun's face, she quickly took out a letter from her sleeve pocket, held it in both hands, and said: "Madam received a letter from Young Master Biao, and was anxious when she learned that my aunt was ill. There are no good doctors in this place, which delayed my aunt's illness, so I managed to go to the palace to visit the imperial concubine, and begged for grace to let my aunt go to Beijing to recuperate, and now this old slave is here to bring my aunt back to Beijing at the order of my wife."

What was written in her heart was the same as what Tian's mother said, Qi Peiyun was surprised, that Mrs. Ding has such a kind heart?He looked at Mama Tian: "Auntie is worried about my mother?"

Mrs. Qi Ding and Mrs. Ding have a mediocre relationship. Mrs. Ding suddenly made such a decision, which is really suspicious. Fortunately, she had an excuse. Mother Tian smiled and said: "The old lady at home also talks about my aunt all the time. Last month, the doctor Come here to ask for peace of mind, and said that the old lady's memory is not very good now, and after a while, she may not even remember the people around her. Madam is afraid that her aunt will be sad when she hears about it in the future, so she wants to take back her aunt to accompany the old man On the other hand, it is also good for treating my aunt."

This makes sense, Qi Peiyun listened, and kept thinking in his heart, after a while he suddenly said: "My aunt didn't come when I got married, now that you have come here, have you brought a meeting gift for my wife?"

Tian's mother was startled when she heard the words, and then laughed, and said: "Look at this old slave's memory, I brought it with me, and it's in the car. I'll go get it now, I'll get it now."

Mother Tian bent her knees and returned to the car, took out her jewelry box, and looked at the things inside, not knowing which one to pick out.

How could Mrs. Ding prepare a meeting ceremony for Liu Bailu?She didn't say it, so Mother Tian naturally forgot it. Now that Qi Peiyun mentioned it, she had to use a piece of jewelry of her own to make up for it.Every piece of her jewelry was rewarded by Mrs. Ding. Although it was not top-grade, it was still an excellent item, and she felt sorry for any piece of jewelry she gave away.

Suddenly, the curtain of the car was lifted, and Qi Peiyun lay on the window looking at the jewelry box in Tian's mother's hand and said with a smile: "Auntie really has a heart, this jewelry box is really good, come and give it to me."

Before Tian's mother could react, Qi Peiyun stretched out his hand and took the jewelry box. He rummaged through the jewelry in the box and shook his head again and again: "Auntie is really stingy. This box looks like a lot of jewelry, but it can't match her twisted gold wire." The inlaid jewel bracelet, I remember it clearly when I was a child, my aunt was so precious. But, forget it, who made us poor relatives now? She can crush us to death by pulling out a root hair." He murmured Disgusted, waved away people: "Let me think about it for a few days, you should find a place to live first, so that you can leave!"

The door closed with a bang, and the people outside looked at each other in shock. Is this the way of hospitality?Don't say anything about the stolen things, and don't even let in the door!

Mama Tian was trembling with anger, and even her breathing felt extremely painful. Those things were treasures she had accumulated!I have always carried it with me and never dared to leave my body!Unexpectedly, it was snatched away by Qi Peiyun!Her eyes flickered, and finally suppressed her anger and shouted: "Hurry up and leave! You can't wait until someone keeps you drinking tea!"

Liu Bailu looked at Qi Peiyun, who was presenting treasures, glanced at the shining golden jewelry, and frowned, "Are they going to take their mother to Beijing?"

"You don't want to?" Qi Peiyun asked back.

Liu Bailu pondered for a moment, and said: "When I was in Beijing, I heard that the relationship between my mother and my aunt was not harmonious. Although we were short on time when we got married, my aunt could send someone to congratulate me, but apart from my father's seven On the seventh day, I have never seen them come to the door again. I have never even had a boxing ceremony. With such a relationship, it is really strange to take my mother to Beijing now."

Qi Peiyun breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's because my grandmother is sick."

"Then what do you mean?" Liu Bailu glanced at Qi Peiyun and asked.

Qi Peiyun scratched his head and said: "I would rather keep my mother by my side, but once you are pregnant, and mother is in the same situation now, one is afraid that we will not be able to take care of her, and the other is also afraid that mother will be hurt. You. Secondly, there are really no good doctors in the customs here, and no antidote can be found for my mother. If I go to Beijing, it may be better."

Liu Bailu sighed, and said: "Why don't I sell the tea house, at least I can get a few hundred taels of silver for my mother's living expenses."

Qi Peiyun thought for a while and said: "That's fine, I'll ask Zhang Ting, Shi Ce and Wu Zeng to escort my mother to Beijing later."

Zhang Ting is a ghostly guy, he is very good at attacking lightly, Wu Zeng is good at kung fu, the three of them will be safe on the way to Beijing together, and they still have a task to give the silver to Mr. Ding .A few hundred taels of silver is more or less, but after all, it is all their property. If Zhang Ting manages it, these hundreds of taels of silver will achieve miraculous effects, and it may not be possible to achieve the effect of tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Liu Bailu pondered for a moment, glanced at Qi Peiyun, and said: "Why don't you go there yourself? After all, if you don't go to such a big event, it will be bad for your reputation in the future."

"I'm not an official, so what's the use of reputation?" Qi Peiyun smiled nonchalantly, but deep in his eyes, there was a hint of thought.

Liu Bailu saw it in his eyes and kept silent, but turned around and was ready to write to his mother to ask her to come and take care of him.
