incense as a medium

Chapter 175
"Liu Bailu!" Qi Ding came in quietly. The servants in the yard were busy and didn't pay attention to her, so no one informed her. Her utterance startled everyone. The maids and women knelt down on the ground.

"Meet the old lady."

"Mother." Liu Bailu was also awakened, blinked her sore eyes, and sat up just now.

"Didn't I ask you to pick up your cousin and third uncle and third aunt? Why did you sleep so much here!" Qi Ding strode into the east room, looking down at Liu Bailu.

Liu Bailu rubbed his sore shoulders, patted his cheeks, and said: "Daughter-in-law still has a lot of things to do here. If I go, I will definitely be busy with things. If I lose my face tomorrow, my daughter-in-law is fine, but the Qi family No face."

"Yo, you're still threatening me, aren't you?" Qi Ding smiled coldly.

Liu Bailu's heart skipped a beat, Qi Ding had been looking for a reason to divorce her, even though Qi Peiyun was protecting her, but if he took advantage of tomorrow's opportunity...

Liu Bailu stood up, bowed her head respectfully: "Yes, my daughter-in-law knows."

"Now that you know, hurry up! Isn't it early?" Qi Ding scolded, turned around and left.

"Daughter-in-law sent mother off respectfully." Liu Bailu slightly bent her knees, and when Qi Ding left, she fell down on the beauty couch exhausted.

Fangmei hurriedly took a cup of tea, touched her forehead, and asked: "Madam, are you okay? Why don't you go out and hide? Find a place to rest for half a day. I'll wait for the third old master and the others to enter the mansion soon. Are you in the past?"

Liu Bailu took the tea, thanked her before taking a sip, and said: "No need, I'll go by myself." She handed the tea to Fangmei and sighed: "You don't know about our family, Hey."

Every family has its cupboard.

Fangmei put the tea on the table, feeling a little sour for no reason in her heart, she imagined that Liu Bailu had so many troubles, but now it's hard to have.

Liu Bailu regained his composure, used a few pieces of snacks, rinsed his mouth, changed into the clothes he had left, and went straight to Ding's mansion.

When the person on the side door saw Liu Bailu, he immediately welcomed them in.

Now that I have come to the house, I naturally want to pay my respects to the master.

Liu Bailu followed the people to the upper room in the main courtyard. Mrs. Ding just got up, and when she saw Liu Bailu, she became energetic: "Why are you here?"

Liu Bailu came forward to pay respects, and said with a smile, "I met my aunt. Yesterday my cousin came back, and today my mother misses her, so I sent me to invite her back."

"Oh?" Madam Ding raised her eyebrows, and smiled reservedly: "But Ruolan went out early this morning, and, I'm showing Xiang Ruolan recently, this... I'm afraid it's not very convenient."

Liu Bailu narrowed his eyebrows, hesitated for a while with embarrassment on his face, and then bit his lips, saying: "Since that's the case, if I force my cousin to go over again, I'm afraid my reputation with my cousin will be damaged. Forget it, even if I'm called unfilial, I will You can't force your cousin, it's not good for her. Auntie, I'm leaving now." Liu Bailu got up apologetically, took two steps, turned around and looked at Madam Ding who was a little stunned, and said with a smile: "By the way, Aunt. Tomorrow, there will be a banquet at home. Please be sure to bring your cousin. Well, it seems that Mrs. Lu Guogong’s wife is coming, and Wu Chengbo’s family is also coming, but I don’t know which one will come. But, Wu Chengbo’s grandson Young Master Sun Qi doesn't seem to be married yet."

Liu Bailu didn't talk much, but she pointed out a few people, which moved Mrs. Ding's heart. According to the family background of the Ding family, although it is difficult to find those powerful families, it is still possible. Wu Chengbo and Lu Guogong's family are both century-old families...

Why hang on a tree?

Although Qi Peiyun is good, compared with those big families, the Qi family still lacks a lot of family background, such as the family's money, such as official connections.

Madam Ding had a slightly more intimate smile on her face than before, she got up and took Liu Bailu's hand, and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely pass by. Ruolan will probably come back at this time, I'll let someone go Look, if I come back, I will go back with you."

With Liu Bailu here, and tomorrow's banquet is related to the face of the Qi family, Qi Ding will definitely not interfere with it, so to hold such a successful banquet, and his daughter contributes to this banquet, no matter what, he will To raise some value for the daughter.

Mrs. Ding's abacus jingled, and immediately asked people to see if Ding Ruolan had "come back", and then pulled Liu Bailu to sit on the Luohan bed together and talked affectionately.

With that three-point smile in her mouth, Liu Bailu put away a little alienation and chatted enthusiastically with Mrs. Ding. It was just those piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings, and trivial matters at home. In other words, he looks like a loving elder.

Ding Ruolan saw this scene when she entered the door. She paused at the door, stepped in, and saluted the two with a smile: "Mother, cousin, what are you talking about? Are you so happy?"

Mrs. Ding beckoned to her and said, "What else can we talk about? Your cousin praises you."

Liu Bailu looked at Ding Ruolan with a smile, and seeing her homely clothes, she knew that she hadn't gone out just now, and when she looked at her eyes, they were slightly blurred and swollen, as if she had just woken up from sleep.

Liu Bailu nodded following Mrs. Ding, and said: "My cousin has been away for such a day, and my mother is almost reading my ears out of the calluses. No, I'm free now, I'll come pick you up and go with mother Let's talk, and there will be a banquet at home tomorrow, I really can't handle it, I want my cousin to help me."

Ding Ruolan didn't answer right away, but glanced at Madam Ding, saw her nodding slightly to herself, and then said with a smile: "If that's the case, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient, I'll go back and pack my clothes."

"Cousin, hurry up, I'm waiting for you." Liu Bailu smiled and nodded.

Liu Bailu took Ding Ruolan back to Qi's house almost smoothly, she sent Ding Ruolan through the side door without even entering the door, and turned the carriage around.

Lan Mo worriedly glanced at the orange sky, and said, "Ma'am, it's getting late."

Later, no gift-giver came over, so Lan Mo also freed her hand, and she and the four little girls accompanied Liu Bailu to go out.

Liu Bailu leaned against the large pillow with Lan Mo's hand, closed his eyes slightly, and said, "Let's go find Master and Le Yan Le Ru."

"Ah?" Lan Mo obviously didn't keep up with Liu Bailu's leap of thought.

Liu Bailu glanced at her, and said with a smile: "We will definitely not be able to return to the city if we go out at this time, and I seldom accompany the two children when I return to Beijing, and I always feel sorry for it, so we might as well call the master and The children go together. The right is to play with them."

Lan Mo was stunned for a moment, no wonder they were asked to pack the two children's clothes and men's clothes when they went out, but...she hesitated: "But, we don't know where the master has gone."

When Qi Peiyun went out, he said that he was taking the two children out to play, but Liu Bailu was not at ease, so he sent someone to follow, sending news back every half an hour.But just after lunch, the girl who followed them came back and said that after the lunch break, Qi Peiyun left a note and took the child to nowhere.

Liu Bailu rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "I know."

"What?" Lan Mo, who has always been steady, couldn't help turning pale and asked, "Where did you go?"

Liu Bailu pretended to be unpredictable and smiled, closing his eyes again.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, Liu Bailu suddenly said, "Turn left."

After a while: "Turn right."

In this way, he turned seventeen or eighteen turns in the streets and alleys of the capital, and the sunset followed the carriage and covered the entire capital.

When Liu Bailu found Qi Peiyun, the three of them, their father, daughter, and a boy were sitting on the side of the street eating wonton noodles. The female doll carved with jade has attracted the attention of many people on the street.

"Mother!" Le Yan, with sharp eyes, called out the moment Liu Bailu got off the car.

Liu Bailu walked forward with a smile and hugged Le Yan, glanced at the bowl that was about to bottom out, and asked, "But are you full?"

"En!" Le Yan nodded vigorously.

Qi Peiyun wiped Leru's mouth with a handkerchief, fed her a spoonful of noodles, and said, "Why did you come out at this time?"

Liu Bailu smiled helplessly, and said: "Not yet mother-in-law, let me pick up my third uncle, third aunt, and thirteenth and sixteenth cousins."

Qi Peiyun glanced at the sky subconsciously: "This sky, even if you go out, you can't come back."

Liu Bailu hugged Le Yan, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "Third Uncle lives in Fushui Town. I heard that the scenery there is pleasant. Now we can catch up to watch the sunset, and then go to Third Uncle's for dinner and overnight. Tomorrow I can leave early in the morning and go back to Beijing in time, everything that needs to be done has been ordered today, and it will be good to follow the steps tomorrow, not to mention there are two aunts Fangmei Qiuchun watching at home, so there will be no mistakes."

Qi Peiyun thought about it, so he put down the bowl, wiped Leru's mouth and hugged her: "Shall we go and play with the third grandfather?"

"Okay." Although I don't know who the third grandfather is, Le Ru nodded excitedly when she heard the play.

Seeing it, Liu Bailu lamented in her heart, and the well-behaved Leru was also driven crazy by Qi Peiyun.

The family happily boarded the carriage, and Qi Peiyun specially sent someone to call Shi Ce and Wu Zeng over, but no one seemed to notice that they had to send someone back to speak to Qi Ding, and Qi Ding sent someone to come over. The person who was looking for Pei Yun to go home just found it after the carriage left the street...

Now that Qi Peiyun's status is different, Qi San's old man's family will naturally not be cold-hearted towards them. Qi San's old lady even flattered Liu Bailu, and once wanted to give her room to Liu Bailu and his wife.It was Liu Bailu who declined repeatedly before staying in the guest room.

The next day, before arriving at Maoshi, Liu Bailu packed up and was ready to go. The old lady Qi San, who had heard the news earlier, rushed over: "Why is it so early?"

Liu Bailu said with a smile: "There are many dignitaries and dignitaries visiting today, so I can't be negligent, so I have to go back earlier. I just agreed to pick up my uncle and aunt and go back together, but I have to go first."
