incense as a medium

Chapter 29 Timely
Shuang Jiang watched from the side, aware of Liu Bailu's purpose, and couldn't help saying: "Miss, these are purses made from leftovers from the dowry clothes of the miss. I don't know how much thought the miss has spent making them for the Zhou family. What about the people who live here. Now give it to these vulgar neighbors, do they know how to appreciate it? Isn't it a waste of good things?"

Liu Bailu stroked his purse, picked out one by one, and said: "A lot of thought has gone into these things, but didn't these neighbors also put a lot of thought into us? It's very pleasing, but it is the most honest person after all. I believe they will also appreciate my things. What's more, they probably have never seen such a good thing in their life, and they will definitely treasure it after taking it back. It’s so precious and important to store, don’t you have to give it to others to spoil it at will? Besides, I don’t have anything to do with the Zhou family now.”

There are a total of 20 to [-] purses of various kinds in this box. Liu Bailu carefully skipped the elegant ones, and specially selected more than [-] palm-sized purses of various colors that symbolize auspiciousness, good luck, longevity, and so on.

Shuang Jiang found hard straw paper to prepare the origami box, but this kind of straw paper has a rough surface and is not very beautiful. She frowned and said, "Miss, do you want to find some sackcloth to wrap it on?"

Liu Bailu looked at the prototype of the box folded by Shuangjiang, shook his head and said: "No need. I don't have that kind of cloth at home, and the price of coarse cloth is probably not cheap, so it's not worth it. Why don't you draw some flowers and plants on the box?" .”

Shuangjiang has been with Liu Bailu for many years, and I dare not say anything else, but she can draw two strokes, and she has a bit of aura. Hearing what Liu Bailu said, she can also show off her painting skills, and nodded in agreement in a hurry , The speed of folding the box in the hand is much faster.

Liu Bailu picked up another color-matched purse and told Shuangjiang: "This is for the girl from Mrs. Lin's family, please pack it carefully. Well, I heard that the girl is called Lin Lin, so you can draw a clump of bamboo."

"Yes."

Shuang Jiang answered quickly.

There was a noisy sound outside, Liu Bailu raised his head and looked out of the window, and it was Kang Yibang who came with his own soldiers.More than a dozen soldiers, each holding four or five boxes in their hands, stacked more than two feet high. Lin's sister-in-law's loud voice echoed in the alley, presumably such a mighty force attracted the attention of the neighbors .

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Liu Bailu always felt that Kang Yibang seemed to be looking at her side while walking, she quietly shrank back, leaned on the armrest of the Arhat bed, and after a while After a while, when she heard the voice of her father Liu Junge and Kang Yibang talking, she couldn't help turning her head to look out again. She couldn't prevent Kang Yibang from turning his head, and his gaze seemed to be fixed on him through the tulle on the window. her face.

Liu Bailu's heart tightened for no reason, and she jumped up thumpingly. She lowered her head and clutched her heart with a pale face.

"Hey, we really have a good understanding!" Qi Peiyun's sloppy voice suddenly appeared, and suddenly hooked Kang Yibang's neck.

Liu Bailu suddenly raised his head and looked out, Qi Peiyun's airy appearance hooked the juanxiu and slender Kang Yibang's neck, the latter had a cold face, bursting out with a strong killing intent.

"Murderous!" Shi Ce jumped out of the room with Wu Zeng in his arms.

The two are about the same height, but Wu Zeng is much bigger than Shi Ce.These two people stood beside Qi Peiyun and Kang Yibang, who were even more weird. The combination of these two pairs made Liu Bailu burst out laughing, and his pale complexion gradually returned to rosy.

As if they heard her laughter, Kang Yibang and Qi Peiyun looked at the east wing at the same time, Qi Peiyun clamped Kang Yibang's neck and laughed and said: "You are hardworking, boy."

Kang Yibang snorted: "You are not bad."

Qi Peiyun hooked his neck and bit his ear: "Is it all out of the interrogation?"

A sneer appeared on Kang Yibang's lips: "It's all explained, I'll come over here, and send people to arrest people over there."

"You're deceiving people." Qi Peiyun patted Kang Yibang's face, loosened his neck, turned his head and cupped his hands at Liu Junge, and said, "Shibo, I'm really sorry, we're used to laughing like this." , don't be offended."

"It's okay, it's okay." Liu Junge had already adjusted his mood, and stepped aside to make way: "General Kang, Nephew Qi, please."

Watching the figure disappear outside the window, Liu Bailu just covered the smile on his lips and lowered his head to arrange the purse in the box.

Sensing that something was wrong with Liu Bailu, Shuang Jiang looked at the soldiers who came in and out of the main room, and smiled ambiguously at Liu Bailu: "Miss, what's wrong?"

Liu Bailu asked without raising his head, "What's wrong?"

Shuang Jiang covered his mouth with a smile and said, "Miss was staring at the window in a daze just now, but did she miss General Kang? General Li Kang came here just in time yesterday, just in time to save Miss. Only a hero like General Kang is worthy of Miss Woolen cloth."

Liu Bailu, whose mind has always been a little slow, grasped the words "timely" and "coincidentally" extremely sensitively, and she couldn't help wondering, could it be that Kang Yibang had some purpose for her family?The timing is so good, is it because he wants his family to be grateful to Dade, and then let his father vote for the fifth prince's camp?But now that the father has no official position and is a criminal minister, how can he be of any help to the fifth prince?The father was implicated in the case of the prince again.The crown prince is guilty of treason, the chance of his father overturning the case is very slim, the fifth prince's qualifications are mediocre, and Concubine Kang is an extremely smart woman. Would such a smart woman do such useless work?

Liu Bailu frowned and fell into deep thought for a while, but Shuang Jiang thought that her young lady was shy, and secretly remembered that she would tell her mother later, and let her tell his wife, maybe it would really lead to this incident What about marriage?

When the young lady gets married, she is a dowry girl, so she will get out of such a hard life in the future, right?
Liu Bailu didn't expect that his momentary distraction actually planted a huge hidden danger for him.

The Liu family had been quiet for many years, but today it became lively again. Shuang Jiang hadn't been busy here for long, and was called by Yuniang to help cook in the kitchen, leaving Liu Bailu alone in the room to fold paper boxes.

Fortunately, this thing is simple, and it was folded in less than half an hour. She went to grind the ink by herself, and picked up the thinnest wolf hair brush to start drawing on the box.The tiny pen tip is drawn across the box, but with a few strokes, a clump of orchids or a rhododendron, or a peony emerges.Either graceful, or enchanting, or tall and straight like a pine, or supporting a willow in the wind, the small and rough box has a bit of aura because of these few paintings.

Main room.

Kang Yibang always intentionally or unintentionally brought the topic to the current political situation, but Liu Junge was slippery like a snake, and he could always bring the topic back to the daily drills in the barracks or the raising of horses.Qi Peiyun sat on the side bored, and occasionally received Kang Yibang's eyes asking for help, interjected a few words, brought the topic to Kang Yibang's side, and then continued to keep silent.

On the other hand, Zhang Ting had a pleasant chat with Liu Junge. No matter what aspect it was, he was able to insert a few words, and occasionally he could refute Kang Yibang's words, and occasionally he could also support a few words. In short, in the living room of the main room It was a lively chat.

Bai Shi brewed one after another of the tea leaves that Kang Yibang brought, but Kang Yibang still failed to bring the topic to the point.

"Brother Qi! Brother Qi!" The girl's clear and enthusiastic voice sounded, but in the blink of an eye, a ball of fire rushed in.

Qi Peiyun didn't bother to lift his head.But Wu Zeng stood up and said with a smile, "Miss Ying."

It was Ying Mo who came. She looked around the room, and after bowing to Kang Yibang, she ran up to Qi Peiyun and bent down to look at him. She said angrily, "Brother Qi is here." Xiongtang County didn’t even tell me, I didn’t know you were here until I went to deliver a gift to my aunt today, and I worked hard to get here before dark.”

Ying Mo yelled like no one else, which gave Qi Peiyun a headache. He patted her hand holding his arm, and said, "Go and meet the master here, Liu Shibo."

If it was normal, Ying Mo would definitely not have looked at the old man more than once, let alone pay a visit to him, but she wanted to come to Qi Pei Yun's words and obeyed, she answered with a smile, went to Liu Junge and knelt down and said, "Little girl Ying Don't ever see Liu Shibo."

It was called along with Qi Peiyun's address, Liu Junge frowned slightly, seeing that Qi Peiyun didn't express anything, he tentatively said: "Get up quickly. Nephew Qi, which lady is this?"

Qi Peiyun lazily leaned on the chair with his head on his hands, nodded his chin at Ying Mo, and said: "She is the daughter of Ying Da merchant. I do some small business with Ying Da merchant, and that's how I got to know each other. "

Qi Peiyun's words were simple and clear, but he raised himself to the level of a big businessman in Genying, and directly drew a clear line with the ambiguous Yingmo.

Ying Mo didn't agree, turned around and pulled Qi Peiyun's sleeves and acted like a baby: "Brother Qi, what are you talking about? My father, you can just call him uncle, what is Yingda businessman? Is it possible that you still look down on me?" Is my parentage wrong?"

Qi Peiyun smiled lazily, but didn't answer, and let Ying Mo shake his arm here.

Listening to the movement outside, Mrs. Liu Su in the inner room was silent for a moment and called Mrs. Bai to come to him and give some instructions.

Bai Shi nodded, went out and said a few words to Ying Mo, but Ying Mo agreed, and followed Bai briskly out of the main room and towards the east wing.

At the door of the East Wing, Mrs. Bai said to Mo Xiao with a smile: "Miss Ying, please wait a moment, wait for the concubine to come in and let me know."

"Where is it so troublesome?" Ying Mo gouged out Bai Shi's eyes, and pushed the door straight in. Her two maids spontaneously stayed at the door, and one of them told Bai Shi: "Go and pour tea for our young lady."
