incense as a medium

Chapter 167 Banquet
Qingcheng cautiously walked into the East Room, cast a glance at Qi Dingshi who was looking gloomy, and said in a low voice: "Old lady, the doctor is here."

"Let him go!" Qi Ding swept the cup off the table with his palm, "I'll take a good look at the doctor!"

Qingcheng retreated two steps before avoiding the broken tiles. Seeing her like this, Qi Ding became even more angry: "You still have the guts to retreat! Are you with that little bitch! I knew She has no good intentions! She made me sick back then, and after leaving Yongkang Pass, she was going back to Beijing, so she had to let me get better so that she could achieve her good reputation! Ah! Pooh! What a beautiful idea! Kneel down! "

Qi Dingshi pointed at Qingcheng, asking her to kneel on the broken porcelain.

Qingcheng bit his lip and glanced at Qi Dingshi, took a step back to avoid the broken porcelain and knelt down.

"I let you kneel here!" With a bang, Qi Ding shook his hand and threw the beauty hammer on the broken porcelain in front of Qingcheng.

"Auntie, what are you doing?" Ding Ruolan came slowly, turning a blind eye to the mess on the ground, but waved her hand to signal Qingcheng to step back, and sat on Qi Ding's side, holding her arm and said softly, "Auntie, be careful. Broken body."

"I just want to see my granddaughter, she looks so closely! Can I eat them! They are the blood of my Qi family!" Qi Ding slapped the table and howled.

Ding Ruolan smiled lightly and said, "It's not easy to meet them? Cousin has always served you filially, so why don't you just ask cousin to bring the child while cousin-in-law is not at home?"

"That's right, you're smart and well-behaved." Qi Ding touched Ding Ruolan's cheek and smiled.

Ding Ruolan lowered her head and smiled, and sighed softly: "It's a pity that I can't stay with my aunt for long, and I'll be back tomorrow."

"Why?" Qi Ding asked, and before Ding Ruolan could answer, he continued, "But that little bitch Liu Bailu? Don't worry, this is our Qi family. You can live as long as you like! It doesn't matter if you live forever! Let's see what a little bitch can do to you!"

Ding Ruolan blushed, she didn't seem to understand the meaning of Qi Ding's words, she just said: "Mother told me to go back for something, auntie don't worry, I'll come and stay with auntie in a few days?"

"This..." Qi Ding suddenly felt reluctance, hesitated for a while before saying: "If that's the case, you can go back, alas, without you, who am I talking to here?"

Ding Ruolan said: "Isn't there Miss Ying? She values ​​her cousin so much, so she will definitely come to talk to my aunt every day."

When Qi Ding heard this, she became even more irritable: "Miss Ying was kicked out by that woman."

Ding Ruolan's eyes flickered, and she said: "Miss Ying will definitely come again. Today, my cousin was awarded by the emperor. I heard that many people were moved by the news, and sent a lot of posts to invite her to come to the house to talk about it." But according to my opinion, how about if my aunt gave my cousin a banquet?"

"I'll throw a banquet for her? Why?" How could Qi Ding be willing?Rebuttal without thinking.

Ding Ruolan smiled all over her face and said, "Surely let everyone see how filial my sister-in-law is to you?"

When she mentioned this point, Qi Ding thought it through, and laughed too, pointing to Ding Ruolan and saying: "You, you, you are really a clever ghost."

Not to mention Qi Ding's plan, when Liu Bailu opened his eyes early the next morning, he found that he was still sleeping in the warm pavilion, and his two daughters were sleeping soundly, one on the left and the other on the right. She came in and said in a low voice, "Madam, are you awake? It's [-]:[-], do you want to get up?"

Liu Bailu nodded and asked, "Where is the master?"

Lan Mo helped Liu Bailu to get up, and by the way, pressed the corners of the two children's quilts, and said: "Yesterday, the master and grandson talked all night, and they rested in the study together."

Liu Bailu moved her sore arms pressed by the two children and sat down in front of the dressing table. Huang Shan hurriedly came up to help her hold her shoulders. Zi Yan brought hot water to help her wash. After washing, Liu Bailu The bones of her body were also a lot looser, so she got up and dressed, and after breakfast, she wanted to go to the main courtyard.

Lan Mo disagreed and said: "The old lady treats the wife like that, why does the wife still respect her?"

I have seen a lot of Lan Mo living in the countryside in the past few years. It is not uncommon to see Lan Mo pointing at his nose and yelling at his mother-in-law when he disagrees with his mother-in-law, and then being affectionate after scolding. Egret couldn't help muttering.

Liu Bailu sighed: "Rumors and rumors are driving people to death, even if I don't value my reputation, Le Yan Le Ru can't let it go, it's just that I can't make it through."

Lan Mo has followed Liu Bailu for more than ten years, knowing that his young lady is not a master who is willing to suffer, so she also nodded, leaving the purple smoke and yellow shirt to guard Le Yan and Le Ru, and went out to order four little girls The four women followed to the main courtyard.

Liu Bailu knew about Qi Ding's kicking out the doctor yesterday, and when he saw Qi Ding, he didn't ask any more questions.

Qi Ding's today is uncharacteristically, especially amiable: "I also thought about what you said yesterday. You are right. It is really inconvenient for your cousin to live here. I will let her go back today."

"I'm really sorry for causing trouble to my cousin." Ding Ruolan stood up and said apologetically.

People respect me one foot, I respect others ten feet, Liu Bailu also smiled and said: "These days I have troubled my cousin to take care of my mother. In a few days, your cousin and I will come to the door to thank you in person."

"Biao sister-in-law is too famous." Ding Ruolan saluted again.

Liu Bailu smiled more and more kindly: "You did a good job."

Qi Ding looked at the two of them and said with a smile on his face: "You two, don't be too polite, come on, Bai Lu, come and use some with us."

If you don't have anything to show your courtesy, you can either rape or steal.She still doesn't know Ding Ruolan's temper, but she knows Qi Ding's too well. Liu Bailu's expression moved slightly, and he still stood, saying: "How can there be a place for a daughter-in-law in front of mother? Daughter-in-law should take care of mother for dinner."

Qi Ding didn't stop her, and she sat at the table with Ding Ruolan, and while the meal was being set, she said: "I heard that many people posted posts for Pei Yun and you yesterday?"

"Yes." Liu Bailu replied, placing Qi Ding's favorite dish in front of her.

"Have you replied?" Qi Ding asked.

Liu Bailu said: "Not yet, this matter should be discussed with the master before replying to the letter, but yesterday the master was busy, and the date on the post said today's invitation, so my daughter-in-law felt embarrassed."

Mrs. Qi Ding pondered for a moment and said, "It is our Qi family's blessing to be rewarded by the sage, and our Qi family is now re-elected. What do you think if I want to have a banquet at home?"

Asking for your own opinion?

Liu Bailu's mind was slightly confused, and Qi Ding didn't give her a chance to straighten it out, and said in a voice: "Your father-in-law had many close friends and friends, and they helped us a lot when our Qi family was down. It is reasonable to visit them one by one when I return to Beijing, but now our family’s situation cannot be separated for a while, so I thought it would be better to have a banquet at home. First, I can also meet those old friends, and second, I can also serve Pei Yun Pave the way for the future, come three times, it is considered as a reward for you to celebrate the Holy Majesty, and the families who invited you have also been invited, so you don’t have to worry about which one to go to.”

"This..." Liu Bailu was still digesting Qi Ding's words, but unexpectedly she spoke again.

I saw Mrs. Qi Ding counting which family to invite and how many tables to set down with his fingers, and then said: "It is reasonable to say that we, Pei Yun, have made such great contributions, so we can have an official to sit in no matter what, but we only have to return." Lord, oh..."

Qi Dingshi looked at Liu Bailu and let out a long sigh, which made her heart flutter, Qi Dingshi looked at her and said: "Okay, it's settled, I'll let someone send out the post! "

Qi Ding's words brought Liu Bailu back to his senses, and he even prepared the post!Unexpectedly, this is just a notification to myself, the post has already been sent out!She threw away the messy thread and cut the mess straight away, saying: "Mother, there is no money for a banquet at home!"

Qi Dingshi took off the twisted gold thread bracelet on his wrist with a smile and said: "Take this as a pawn, it is worth three or fifty taels of silver, this banquet is enough."

Liu Bailu frowned, and took the bracelet reluctantly, that's all, and regardless of Qi Ding's purpose, just finish the banquet by himself, let's see what happens when the time comes.Even though he was thinking like this, Liu Bailu couldn't help but deduce things one by one in his heart, and asked: "I wonder when mother plans to hold a banquet?"

"This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later, I think it will be the day after tomorrow." Qi Ding said.

"Yes. Daughter-in-law knows." Liu Bailu knelt and answered, served Qi Ding's dinner, and was driven back to Xiaoxiang courtyard by Qi Ding.

Probably because I was tired from playing yesterday, the two children were still sleeping, after seeing the children, Liu Bailu arranged everything in the mansion properly, and looked at Qi Ding's bracelet, what is she going to do?

Before Liu Bailu could figure it out, Lan Mo came forward and said in a low voice, "Ma'am, someone has come from Uncle's house."

"Uncle?" Liu Bailu frowned, "Didn't my mother send someone here?"

"No, it's the mother next to my uncle." Lan Mo said.

Liu Bailu looked at the bracelet, but he really couldn't see anything special about it, so he found a box and carefully put the bracelet in, and let someone put it on the top of the Baibao Pavilion, and asked, "But why did you say it?"

Lan Mo said: "Uncle Madam said, the master has got the vacancy of Fengyang County Magistrate, and he will leave tomorrow. Please come to the house today to get together."

The name of the Liu family has not been changed yet, Liu Junge and Liu Su are still the master and wife, and Liu Zixuan and Qin are the young master and young mistress.When it comes to people from the two families, the old man and the wife don't understand at all if they are not from their own family.

"So fast!" Liu Bailu was startled, and quickly got up and said, "You go back to her, I'll go right away."

The daughter-in-law wanted to inform her mother-in-law when she returned to her natal home, but Liu Bailu stepped out of the door and asked again, "Is the master up yet?"
