incense as a medium

Chapter 151

When he was about to reach the house, Liu Bailu picked up the two crazy children who had already played and adjusted their clothes, and the door of the house was already faintly visible.

The freshly painted vermilion gate is wide open, and there are two couplets hanging on the porch pillars at the gate, and another couplet on both sides of the gate.The plaque of the Qi Mansion hangs high on the door, which makes people feel inexplicably close.

In the open space in front of the door, dozens of servants stood there together. When they saw Qi Peiyun approaching, they knelt down to welcome him under the leadership of the housekeeper: "The old servant welcomes the master back to the house."

"Get up." Qi Peiyun jumped off the horse, looking at the door in front of him, his eyes were wet, he left home when he was young, and now seeing this home that has hardly changed is full of emotion.

The housekeeper stepped forward and said: "The old slave's surname is Ding, and he came here with the old lady to help with the affairs of the house. The old slave was originally working in Ding's house. If the master thinks highly of the old slave, he will leave the old slave to serve you at home."

Hearing this, Qi Peiyun glanced at Steward Ding, nodded without any other choice, and said, "Hurry up and take your wife into the house."

Butler Ding glanced at the carriage behind, wondering: "Master, the old lady said that women always go in and out through the side door, there is no reason to go through the front door."

"What? The mistress can't go through the main entrance anymore?" Qi Peiyun sneered, turned around and walked to the back to drive the coachman into the door by himself.

Butler Ding looked at the rickety carriage and followed it with difficulty.

At the second gate, Qi Peiyun lifted the curtain and carried the two children down, then reached out to help Liu Bailu get off the car.

After getting the news, Qi Ding came quickly, and seeing the harmony of this family from a distance, he felt angry.

Ding Ruolan looked at the two people who were carrying each other from a distance, and said enviously: "My cousin and sister-in-law are so close."

"Hmph." Ying Mo hummed twice to express his dissatisfaction.

After a serious illness, Qi Ding's body was not as good as before, and she couldn't walk quickly even with a cane. Hearing this, she patted Ding Ruolan's hand and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely let Pei Yun divorce her!"

Ding Ruolan lowered her head with a bright red face, and said, "What did my aunt say, Miss Ying is here."

Ying Mo Qi Peiyun's thoughts can be said to be Sima Zhaozhi's heart, everyone knows, when Qi Ding said this, his complexion couldn't help changing, he took Ding Ruolan's arm and took two steps back and said in a low voice: "Aren't you right? Is Brother Pei Yun boring?"

Ding Ruolan looked at Ying Mo with a smile and said sincerely: "I don't think so, it's just my aunt talking casually. You also know Brother Pei Yun's temperament. Although he is very filial, he doesn't listen to his aunt in everything. How can it be so easy to divorce a wife? Am I the kind of person who makes little friends with others?"

In fact, the last sentence is the key point, Ying Mo nodded his head reassuringly, although the Ding family is not considered the most noble in the capital, but the daughter of their family is not a petty lady.

Ying Mo figured it out, left Ding Ruolan behind and happily chased after Qi Dingshi.

Liu Bailu held Le Yan's hand and watched Qi Ding approaching step by step from a distance. Then he bowed his knees and saluted: "My daughter-in-law has seen her mother."

"My son has seen his mother." Qi Peiyun bowed and bowed, and quickly stepped forward to help Qi Ding, saying: "How is mother? How come you have to use crutches after only a few years?"

Qi Ding looked at his longing son with a smile, stretched out his hand to touch his face, and sighed: "I'm thin, I guess it's because I can't eat well and sleep well? Alas, I don't have a caring person around me to take care of me." No. Come, come, go to mother's yard, mother cooks your favorite dishes for you. By the way, your cousin has helped me a lot during this time. You are not at home, so I rely on her to take care of me .This house was also taken care of by her, do you agree with it?"

"Your cousin has worked hard." Qi Peiyun nodded to Ding Ruolan.

Ding Ruolan bowed and saluted unusually, and then said with a smile: "They are all from my own family, so they should come to help. Ruolan has seen my cousin."

Liu Bailu smiled and nodded, and showed her the two children: "This is the eldest, Le Yan, and this is the second child, Le Ru. This is Miss Zhu."

She didn't introduce much to Miss Zhu, but Ding Ruolan took a second look.

With drooping eyelids, Qi Ding said, "Two girls, what can I introduce. My son and mother are here, and we're going to eat."

"Mother, those are my two daughters, your direct granddaughter!" Qi Peiyun was dissatisfied with Qi Ding's neglect of the pair of daughters, so he stopped and let Qi Ding hold him no matter what.

"It's just two losers." Qi Ding glanced at Liu Bailu, and said with a snort, "I haven't even had a son after six or seven years!"

"That's what mother taught me." Liu Bailu bowed his knees and answered these words with incomparable obedience.

Looking at the top of Liu Bailu's hair, Qi Peiyun's heart felt numb. He hurriedly recruited the two children and said, "Come quickly and meet your grandmother."

Children's hearts are extremely sensitive. They know who treats them well and who treats them badly.

Leyan and Leru looked at each other, and went forward to salute politely: "Leyan, Leru has met grandma."

"Get up." Qi Ding said casually, and pulled Qi Peiyun to leave: "Your cousin has cooked several dishes for you, try to see if it suits your taste."

Ying Mo saw the opportunity and interjected: "Brother Pei Yun, I also cooked two dishes."

Ding Ruolan hugged Ying Mo and stood by Qi Peiyun's side, Qi Ding said with a smile: "Auntie used me as a pawn again, and it was just two home-cooked dishes for you, why did it become for my cousin? Well? Fortunately, this is our own home, so it’s fine to talk casually, if outsiders listen to it, will my niece marry? "

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault, let's go, let's go eat." Qi Ding looked at Ding Ruolan with a smile, and then at his own son, feeling that the two were a good match.

The few people talking and laughing there actually forgot Liu Bailu.

Liu Bailu didn't care, and gave the two children to Miss Zhu to take care of: "Please take care of them for me, they are all messy when I came back, and the children are not familiar with anyone, after I find a wet nurse, you can rest." caught."

"It's okay, I'm used to it. If you really want us to separate, I don't think there's anything else to do." Miss Zhu agreed with a smile, and took the children to play.

Liu Bailu turned around and directed people to bring the luggage in, and Lan Mo and others took over and took it to his yard.

Upon questioning, the main house in the main courtyard was not the residence of the two of them, but the Xiaoxiang Courtyard next to the main house. Liu Bailu didn't care, and asked someone to send their luggage there.

Qi Peiyun turned his head and saw that Liu Bailu was busy with work, so he followed Qi Ding's away with confidence. His mother had been ill for many years, and he had been away for many years, so he had a lot to say.

Liu Bailu glanced at Butler Ding standing outside the second gate, and said to Zi Yan: "Master Zhang and others who came back with the master are not servants, but friends of the master for many years. Let Steward Ding treat you well, and don't neglect it."

"Yes." Zi Yan responded and went to the door to give instructions.

Liu Bailu took another look at Qi Peiyun and the others who were going away, and said to Huang Shan: "I'm afraid there are not many of us eating today, you go to the big kitchen to see what there is to eat and drink, and make some yourself. "

"Okay." Huang Shan also took the order and went.

Only then did Liu Bailu recruit Le Yan and Le Ru who were on the side, bent down to hug Le Yan, and said, "Why don't you go play?"

Le Yan lowered her head, looked at Liu Bailu and said, "I don't like grandma."

Liu Bailu scratched the tip of his nose with a smile, and said, "Mother doesn't like it either, but she is an elder, we have to respect her."

"Oh." Le Yan pursed her lips, and after a while, she said again: "Aunt Fang already gave a gift, but Grandma didn't."

Liu Bailu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then mother will make it up for you?"

"No." Le Yan grunted, touched her belly and said, "Mother, I'm hungry."

"Okay, let's go back now." Liu Bailu said with a smile, and greeted Miss Zhu to go to Xiaoxiang courtyard together.

Xiaoxiang courtyard is next to the main courtyard, separated by a clump of bamboo groves, the voices of joyful laughter are constantly coming from there.

Liu Bailu took a long look at the main courtyard before stepping in.

The Xiaoxiang Courtyard is quite big, even though Qi Ding was dissatisfied with Liu Bailu, he was unwilling to wrong his son, so the Xiaoxiang Courtyard was repaired very neatly, and all the furniture used were of the highest quality.

Liu Bailu didn't bring many things and put them away in a short while, but the bed in the bedroom hadn't been made yet.

Lan Mo asked: "The quilts on the bed are all new, do you want to change them, Miss?"

Liu Bailu put Le Yan on the ground for her to play by herself, followed Lan Mo into the bedroom, the curtains in the bedroom were all bright red and pink, and the quilt on the bed was also bright red, Liu Bailu couldn't help frowning: "Let's change the bed curtains and bedding first, and put the rest back."

Liu Bailu sat down on the Arhat bed, and when he got up, he noticed the difference here. This is the style of the Arhat bed, but the bottom is a kang, which is warm in winter.

Liu Bailu was used to sleeping on kangs in Yongkang Pass in winter. At that time, there were few charcoal fires, and they would not burn very well. The warmth made people very comfortable. In this capital, the kangs used to be used for burning people. It's so hot up there that you need to go to bed to sleep at night.

Liu Bailu sat on the Arhat's bed in a daze for a while, watching Lan Mo instructing the girls to change the bedding and bed curtains, called her over, and asked, "Where do you live these few days? Go out and bring your luggage in later, I will I saw it just now, and the inverted room is spacious, but facing the outside, it is noisy and uncomfortable, so you should live in the back room, next to the storeroom."

Lan Mo also understood Liu Bailu's concerns, nodded in agreement, and said: "After a few days, I will send a letter to ask my mother and husband to come over after I have settled down."

"I've wronged you." It's hard for Liu Bailu to become a grandma from a maidservant. Although she's a small householder, she has the final say, and now she has to come here to serve others. Liu Bailu really feels ashamed.

"What did the lady say? It's a slave's blessing to serve her." Lan Mo laughed.

"Ma'am, Miss Qingcheng is here." The girl on the porch called loudly, the voice could be heard three miles away.
