incense as a medium

Chapter 33 The things of the older generation (1)

As mentioned earlier, Liu Bailu loves cleanliness very much, not because she is so clean, but because her nose is so sharp that she can smell even the slightest smell.Therefore, the smell of ordinary rouge powder is extremely strong in her place.

Since Liu Bailu didn't like the smell of those spices and powders outside, he could only make his own.Fortunately, the most important thing that the aristocratic family lacks is all kinds of spice recipes. She just needs to pick out the recipes she likes and let the servant girl develop them.What's more, a scholarly family like the Liu family?There are some ancient books and classics at home.Liu Bailu is also a lover of reading, so he dug up some methods of making spices, and only picked up a few flavors he liked to develop.

There used to be a lot of people in the family, so of course she didn't need to do these things by herself, but now she only has a girl called Shuangjiang, so she can only make incense by herself. Fortunately, she has studied the medicinal properties of various spices in order to make incense, otherwise I really dare not touch such things as musk.

Shuangjiang went to move stools for the three of them and placed them on the porch with great winking, and said: "Madam, Young Mistress, Miss, the sun is just right today, why don't you just sit here and bask in the sun?"

Mrs. Qin looked at the position between this side and the other side, she was really jealous, helped Mrs. Liu to sit down, and said: "Mother, my daughter-in-law is not feeling well and should go back to her room first."

The physical discomfort was just an excuse. Liu Su didn't take it seriously, but she also said a few words of concern: "If there is something wrong, tell me as soon as possible. Now it's different from the past, so you have to be more careful about it. Don't worry, I will look for it from now on." Reliable stable woman, to ensure that your future delivery will be smooth."

"Yes, thank you mother for caring." Qin knelt and retreated under Liu Bailu's curtsy.

Liu Bailu watched Mrs. Qin go back to the room, and just sat down beside Mrs. Liu Su, when she just sat down, she heard a knock on the door.

Xiang Bo was fumbling for things in the alley, Yuniang was preparing lunch, and Shuang Jiang ran to open the door.

Liu Bailu looked at the sky and said, "Why is the coachman so early today?"

As criminal ministers, Liu Junge and the others worked all year round. They enjoyed the special lunch provided by Kang Yibang during the Chinese New Year. After the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, they continued to pick up and deliver meals by car.

The carriage to pick up Liu Bailu always arrives at the first quarter of noon, but now there are still two quarters of an hour before noon, so it's too early, isn't it?

While thinking about it, Shuang Jiang brought in a person, but it was a thin and thin woman in her thirties. There are even more Liu Su's.

"Ma'am, Miss, please see the girl of the Qi family." Shuang Jiang led the people to the front and said after seeing the ceremony.

Liu Su stared at the person coming, and it took him a long time to recognize him: "You are Xiaoyou?"

Fang Xiaoyou was obviously very surprised and grateful that Liu Su could still remember and recognize herself. She kowtowed with tears in her eyes, "It's the slave, it's the slave, Miss still remembers the slave! The slave is really happy !"

Liu Su hurriedly pointed to Shuangjiang and asked her to help Fang Xiaoyou up, and sighed: "What kind of lady is it? Now that so many years have passed, she is no longer a lady."

"It's my servant's fault, it's my servant's fault." Fang Xiaoyou stood up with Shuangjiang's support, wiped his tears with his sleeve, looked at Liu Sushi with his eyes, and looked her over: "Madam is doing well, servant girl Don't worry."

But Liu Su grasped the meaning of her words very sensitively, frowned and said: "What? Your daughter is already thirteen, and she hasn't been helped to become a concubine yet?"

The tears that Fang Xiaoyou had finally stopped fell again, she quickly lowered her head, and wiped away the tears with her left hand holding the sleeve of her right hand.The sleeves, which were so washed that they were frayed, were rolled up during the movement, revealing the deep and shallow scars on the arms, old and new.

Surprised, Liu Su didn't care much, got up and walked in front of Fang Xiaoyou, grabbed her left arm and rolled up her sleeve.Fang Xiaoyou didn't even have time to hide, so he exposed the wound on his arm.

Liu Su's eyes were full of distress: "How did you get hurt like this? Why is there more than one wound? Who hit it?"

Fang Xiaoyou forced himself to free his arm from Liu Su's grasp, hid his hands in his sleeves, and said with a forced smile, "What did you hit? It's not like you don't know that the servant beats the clumsy and clumsy. If you touch this, you touch that. The servant fell, fell."

Such a big person, still bumping into each other?Who will believe it?
Knowing that Fang Xiaoyou was hiding something for someone, Liu Su couldn't help but sighed. No matter how the mistress punished the concubine's room, it was reasonable and legal. The dirty clothes, took her by the arm and walked to the veranda, pressed her on the stool, and couldn't help sighing: "What a smart person at the beginning, he was tortured into such a state. I hate her When you let so many people go out, why didn't you let go alone?"

Fang Xiaoyou smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, took out a plain invitation card from his bosom, talked about him from left to right, and said: "This servant is here today to send the invitation for the master. The master wants to invite Mrs. Liu over to the house A story."

Qi Zhen wants to see himself?

Liu Sushi accepted the post full of doubts, and subconsciously muttered: "She actually let you over to deliver the post..."

Liu Su's hand froze, and the post in his hand slipped to the ground before it was fully opened.

Seeing that something was wrong with Liu Su, Liu Bailu grabbed her hand and called repeatedly: "Mother, mother?"

"Ah?" Liu Su came back to look at Liu Bailu.

Liu Bailu asked with concern: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine." Liu Sushi shook her head, bent down to pick up the invitation, and opened it to see that it was Qi Zhen's handwriting, but the vigorous brushwork in the past was now a little old and feeble. After reading and reading the post, his lips parted and closed, but he didn't say a word.

Fang Xiaoyou, however, saw Liu Su's concerns and hesitated. She shrank her neck subconsciously, trying to reduce her sense of existence, but then remembered that this was not her home, so she straightened her sitting posture and pulled her sleeves uneasy. He said in a low voice: "Master has been ill for a long time, so I just want to see Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu. Our wife is not at home during this time, so the servants came to invite us."

Liu Su let out a long sigh of relief, and said with a sneer, "You didn't finish your sentence, you scared me. By the way, why are you here at this time? Qi's family is in Yongkang Pass, so why not come over?" It takes a day's work."

Fang Xiaoyou lowered his head, looked at his dusty shoes and said nothing.

Liu Bailu noticed something, looked down at Fang Xiaoyou's shoes and skirt, gently pulled Liu Sushi down, and whispered in her ear: "Mother, I'm afraid she came here."

Following Liu Bailu's gaze, Liu Sushi saw Fang Xiaoyou's worn-out shoes and muddy skirt, and instantly understood. She said in surprise, "Didn't you hire a car?"

Fang Xiaoyou shook his head, nana said: "Master is seriously ill, he spent all the money in the family."

"How could it be?" Liu Bailu whispered, obviously remembering the pearl Qi Peiyun gave her. Later, Liu Su returned the pearl to Qi Peiyun, and Lin's sister-in-law also said that Qi Peiyun took a lot of money to make it. Is the business gone?How can there be no money to see a doctor?
Liu Su obviously thought about it too, she moved to Fang Xiaoyou's side and asked, "Is it true that your family has no money?"

Fang Xiaoyou shook his head: "There is no more money. This time, my wife went to a relative's house in Kangdingguan to borrow money."

Liu Su was astonished that such a proud person as Qi Ding would borrow money!Is the Qi family already in such a state of embarrassment?So where did Qi Peiyun get the money to do business?

Liu Bailu took a deep breath and asked, "I heard that Mr. Qi is doing business with Ying Da merchant? Doesn't he have any money?"

Fang Xiaoyou's body trembled suddenly, and he immediately stood up in a panic, saying: "Well, I have delivered the post. Our wife will come back in the future. Please be sure to visit the house in the next few days for my wife to talk about it. Slave, servant will leave."

Fang Xiaoyou curtly bowed his knees, turned around and was about to leave, how could Liu Su, who had already sensed something was wrong, let her go?Holding Fang Xiaoyou's arm with only a few bones in his hands, he asked repeatedly: "What's going on with your family? The son has money to do business but no money to see a doctor for his father? When did the Qi family die?" Such an unfilial son!"

Liu Su's questioning words were a little trembling.Liu Bailu looked at Liu Sushi in amazement, her mother was rarely so angry, she was always naughty and ignorant when she was a child, and her mother had never been so angry.What exactly is going on?

Fang Xiaoyou yanked his arm desperately, and wept softly: "Miss, you should let the servant go! The master didn't let the servant say it, miss, the servant is begging you, because of our years of affection, Let the servants go!"

Fang Xiaoyou's skinny fingers were desperately trying to break Liu Su's fingers, Liu Su put in all his strength, how could she allow her to break them easily?Liu Su said bitterly: "I only want to take care of it because of the many years of love! You explain it clearly to me! What's going on!"

"Miss! Don't ask me any more! The servants are here to deliver posts! The master is running out of time, so he just wants to see the young lady. The young lady just goes there. Just ask the master if you have anything to say. Don't embarrass the servants." Fang Xiaoyou couldn't break free from Liusu's restraint, so he simply knelt down and begged.

The sound insulation on this side of Lihua Lane is not very good. There is only one wall between the neighbors. The previous movement here was not too loud. As soon as Fang Xiaoyou was about to leave, Liu Sushi was nervous and forgot to control the volume. Then she paid two shares, and the sister-in-law of the Lin family next door rushed in grabbing a handful of vegetables, and was stunned when she saw the situation: "Big girl, what's wrong?"

Look at this mess of names...

Liu Bailu called her sister-in-law, she was Liu Su's eldest sister, and her daughter Lin Lin was also called Liu Bailu's sister. I don't know if you are messed up, but I am messed up...

The door of Zhang's house diagonally opposite opened, and Qi Peiyun frowned as he looked in the direction of Liu's house.

Zhang Ting picked out his ears and asked, "If I hear you right, it's your aunt's voice, right?"

"She's not my aunt." Qi Peiyun stepped out with a cold face.
