incense as a medium

Chapter 30 You Know My Heart
Where did the guest order the host like this?
Bai muttered in her heart that Ying's family was not well-educated, but she couldn't make people look down on Liu's family. She glanced at the east wing with a smile, then at the main room, and said to the two: "Shang Ying's family is really well educated."

The meaning of sarcasm in it is self-evident, the two girls are very angry, but they are clearly praising their family, even if they want to break the sky, I don't care about it, let alone that Qi Peiyun is in the main room If you let Mr. Qi know that his daughter's girl is going to make trouble in someone else's house, and give the miss no face, his end will be very miserable.

There was a precedent for this matter, and the two maids could only watch Bai's swaying away angrily, but they made up their minds in their hearts to ask Miss and the Liu family to look good!

The voices outside brought Liu Bailu back to her senses. She held up the pen and glanced at Ying Mo who came in, pursed her lower lip, and lowered her head to continue drawing on the box.

Ying Mo didn't see anyone in the living room, so he turned his head and walked into the flower hall, stepped a few steps to the desk, looked at the rough cardboard boxes on the table, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Liu Bailu didn't raise his head and said, "Drawing."

"Is there any painting on it?" Ying Mo picked up a box casually, glanced at it and said with a smile: "The painting is not bad, and you can sell it for some money outside."

Such rude words made Liu Bailu frown slightly, she stopped writing and looked up at Ying Mo, and said: "I have to be busy for a while, Miss Ying, please do what you want."

After that, he lowered his head and continued to paint.

Ying Mo walked around the room, and finally stopped in front of the embroidery frame, looking down at the landscape painting on it.

Since Liu Bailu fainted last time, Liu Su asked Shuangjiang to dismantle the embroidery frame, but after all Liu Bailu was at home and had nothing to do, so she asked Shuangjiang to set up the embroidery frame. A few times, so that the embroidery that would have only taken a few days to complete has not been embroidered until today.

Ying Mo looked at it for a while, then walked up to Liu Bailu, and leaned next to her, carefully staring at her face.

Liu Bailu felt uncomfortable being looked at, so he could only stop writing, looked at Ying Mo, and asked, "Miss Ying, what's the matter?"

Ying Mo tilted his head and took a good look at Liu Bailu. He pouted and said, "How do you take care of it? Your skin is so good?"

"Is there?" Liu Bailu touched his face, carefully cleaned the brush in his hand in the brush washer, and said with a smile, "It's just an ordinary maintenance method. It's nothing unusual."

"Then give me a copy." Ying Mo said hastily, as if he had forgotten the unhappiness that happened when the two met last time.

Liu Bailu looked at Ying Mo for a while, and then said, "I'll make a copy for you. But does Miss Ying like some spicy food?"

Ying Mo subconsciously touched a few shiny bumps on her forehead. She applied a lot of powder but couldn't cover them up. Instead, her complexion became even uglier. She simply washed her face, put on light makeup, and put her hair down to cover it: " how do you know?"

Liu Bailu pursed her thin lips and said with a smile, "I smell something."

"Ah!" Ying Mo quickly covered his mouth, then remembered something, and asked, "Is the smell really strong?"

Liu Bailu thought for a while and said, "It's about the same. Why don't I ask someone to bring you some dried mint?"

"Will it work?" Ying Mo tightly covered her mouth, for fear of being smelled that she ate raw garlic and green onions at noon.Ying Da's daughter actually likes to eat this kind of food instead of delicacies from mountains and seas. If she says it, she will be laughed to death.

Liu Bailu smiled and said nothing, saying it was for someone to take it, but everyone is busy now, the eldest sister-in-law Qin is a female family member, and it is not convenient to meet guests, so she stays in her room. I went to get it myself, and brought back the tea by the way.

The slim figure shuttled back and forth in the yard, and the few people in the room became a little absent-minded.

Qi Peiyun squinted lazily and looked outside, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Kang Yibang holding a tea bowl and staring at the door, he couldn't help sitting up straight, and asked: "Brother Yibang, I don't know how much money I have. When will you give it to me?"

Kang Yibang withdrew his gaze, gave Qi Peiyun a very strange look, untied a purse from his waist, threw it upside down to Qi Peiyun: "Look, is it enough?"

Qi Peiyun opened the purse with a smile, and saw that there were dozens of silver locks and twenty or thirty gold locks inside. He picked out a few gold locks and turned them upside down. Kaizi put it back, scratched his head and threw it to Zhang Ting: "I can't figure it out, help me figure it out, how much is this worth?"

Zhang Ting took the purse, and without hesitation, dumped the contents on the table, and a pearl the size of a thumb rolled out of it.

Kang Yibang was stunned when he caught sight of this pearl out of the corner of his eye, and subconsciously stood up.But he didn't want Qi Peiyun to grab the pearl in his hand with quick eyesight, and laughed loudly: "Brother Yibang knows my heart! I am short of money, so you send the pearl, how can it be worth 500 taels of silver? When I go to the west, how can I earn 1000 taels of silver! I already have a wife."

When Shi Ce heard a word, he immediately began to gossip: "Do you have a goal? Which girl? Later, I will take you over the wall for a tryst!"

"Why are you meddling in my tryst?" Qi Peiyun stretched out his foot to kick Shi Ce across Zhang Ting, but he couldn't reach it for a while, so he withdrew his foot resentfully.

Shi Ce chuckled and said, "Brother, didn't you check it out for me? See how good Miss Biying is? Otherwise, how could you be willing to give up this golden mountain and silver mountain?"

"Cut!" Qi Peiyun made an obscene gesture and ignored Shi Ce, only squinting at the pearl in his hand.

Let Qi Peiyun tell what should be said and what should not be said, and Kang Yibang only reluctantly glanced at Pearl and sat back, turning his head and explaining to Liu Junge who was looking at these people: "A few days ago Brother Pei Yun accidentally learned about it, and he just told me. Speaking of which, because of this time, he was hunted down by the government and was injured. So let me ask for some money to make up for it."

Liu Junge looked at Qi Peiyun in surprise, and couldn't help but think of the last search by officers and soldiers. He suppressed the urge to grab Qi Peiyun and ask for clarification, looked at Kang Yibang in surprise, and asked, "Tartars They actually bribed the government? Who was it? Who else was bribed? Since Xiongtang County has installed people, if they can’t keep Yongkang Pass, there will be Kangding Pass, and they must be uprooted! To avoid future troubles!”

Kang Yibang nodded and said, "Don't worry Shibo, I have my own measure."

With Kang Yibang's scheming and ability, he can naturally handle this matter well, but he is a little unfounded.Liu Junge smiled and nodded.

Zhang Ting had already counted the silver coins on the table, and he said to Qi Peiyun, "There are 30 taels of silver, ten gold coins for five coins, ten coins for one tael, and five coins for two taels. They are worth about 250 taels of silver."

Qi Peiyun rubbed the pearl fondly, and said casually: "You divide the money and see if you take it home or do business with me."

Zhang Ting glanced at Shi Ce and Wu Zeng, Shi Ce waved his hands indifferently, and said, "I can eat enough for one person and the whole family is not hungry, so it's fine as usual."

Wu Zeng said with a simple and honest smile: "My mother asked me to bring some money home."

Zhang Ting packed up all the gold, divided the silver into three parts and took one part for himself, and gave the other two parts to Shi Ce and Wu Zeng, saying: "Then we will share one part of the 30 taels of silver, and you can do the rest That's business."

"Okay." Qi Peiyun stuffed the purse into his bosom, looked at the pearl in his hand, and smiled at Kang Yibang: "You are really willing, such a good thing is packed with silver, and you are not afraid of scratching it." spent."

Kang Yibang said indifferently: "This was originally ground into powder for Miss Liu to apply to her face, so naturally she is not afraid of getting scratched."

Qi Peiyun sneered, threw the pearl up and down and said with a smile: "You are really willing, but I don't know that the imperial concubine is reluctant to grind this pearl into powder."

Kang Yibang smiled and refused to answer, but Liu Junge frowned at the pearl in Qi Peiyun's hand.

"Use the best pearls to grind them into powder?" Even Ying Mo, who is rich and powerful, couldn't help but be speechless in front of this prescription.

The items on this recipe are actually nothing more ordinary, but Ying Mo felt very distressed by this pearl, so she took off the pearl bracelet on her wrist and showed it to Liu Bailu, asking: "Can such pearls be ground into powder? "

Ying Mo is wearing freshwater pearls from the north. This string of bracelets is a rice bead bracelet. Each pearl is as long and slender as rice, full of luster and lustrous, and the small bracelet is wrapped around the wrist five times.

Liu Bailu glanced at the bracelet, smiled and shook his head: "It's just a freshwater pearl, not delicate and smooth enough. What's more, it's not old enough, and its efficacy is not as good as Dongzhu."

"Isn't Dongzhu also a freshwater pearl?" Ying Mo asked unconvinced.

Liu Bailu explained patiently: "The pearls in your hand are artificially bred mussels, and the pearls inside are also artificially implanted. After only a few years, such pearls will be formed. Even if they are ground into powder, they will not be too much. It is too delicate. But Dongzhu grows naturally, at least it takes more than ten years to form a pearl of this size, and those pearls that are really as big as fingers are naturally more effective than pearls like this."

"Pearls the size of a finger!" Ying Mo whispered, she had only seen such pearls once or twice in her aunt's room. What do you mean, you often put these things on your face?
Liu Bailu smiled and nodded.

Ying Mo couldn't help muttering: "What a waste."

But Liu Bailu said: "Miss Ying doesn't know something. The pearls used to be ground into powder are flawed, such as scratches, or not round enough, and the luster is not good enough, so they are ground into powder. Really good pearls They are all used to make jewelry, who would be willing to grind them into powder?"

Ying Mo disagreed: "That's worth a lot of money."
