incense as a medium

Chapter 40
Liu Bailu stared at Qi Peiyun in a daze, her mind was always slow, she understood what he meant in an instant!I only heard Qi Peiyun slowly say: "That day I got the news that there was a traitor in Xiongtang County, so I went to the county government to find out the news, not wanting to scare the thief and cause people to chase and kill him. You must have remembered where it was. It happened in one day. That’s right, that was the day when I broke into Miss Liu’s boudoir. I originally left, but the patrolmen and guards in the yamen searched for me, and I had no choice but to hide back. Hidden well, you broke in. I saw Miss Liu's bravery, calmness, and unyielding. Such a beautiful woman should be married home and loved, not to mention being a concubine, just look at her in the future I would feel that I have wronged her. From then on, I often came to see her secretly, lest she would annoy me, so I hid on the wall and did not dare to make a sound. I thought I was "

Qi Peiyun looked at Liu Bailu devoutly, with a serious and firm tone. He glanced at Qi Ding, then turned to Qi Zhen, and Liu Junge, and said, "Father, uncle, please agree to our marriage. After we get married, I will marry you." It will definitely be good to the egret!"

Qi Peiyun's sincere words made Liu Junge and Liu Sushi hesitate, how long can mother-in-law stay with Liu Bailu?The most important thing is to have a good husband to protect her. Even if she suffers in Qi Ding's hands, it will only be temporary. What's more, it seems that Qi Ding has been deceived.

Kang Yibang stared at Qi Peiyun with a gloomy expression, arched his hand at Liu Junge, and was about to speak, but there was a burst of applause outside the courtyard.

The sister-in-law of the Lin family felt strange, the excitement of the Liu family was not in vain today, there were so many people who came here and there, and now another person came, could it be that they also wanted to marry Liu Bailu?She couldn't help but took a few glances at Liu Bailu, she was a beautiful girl, with a good figure and a pretty face, not to mention, I heard that she loved cleaning very much, and she washed her own clothes, which was extremely difficult for a person who was born as a young lady.

What's more, there is such a good skill.The most profitable merchants in Lihua Lane, Zhang Ting and Li’s, can’t earn 50 taels a year, but Liu Bailu can earn 100 taels for a piece of embroidery!

Thinking in this way, the sister-in-law of the Lin family looked out, and saw a person wearing a luxurious brocade dress that she had never seen before, followed by two extremely beautiful maidservants in bright and delicate clothes, and four brocade-clothed guards with naked eyes and long swords on their waists Stepping towards the main room, the sister-in-law of the Lin family noticed with sharp eyes that the brocade box held by the two maids was also of great value, not to mention the contents inside.

"Five..." Liu Junge's reaction was extremely fast, and he got up to straighten his clothes and was about to bow down.

Kang Yibang was also obviously taken aback, apparently not knowing that the man would come here.

Qi Peiyun was not surprised at all, and stopped Liu Junge who was about to salute, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, you don't need to be too polite, Fifth Master just passed by here to have a look."

How could Liu Junge not know what Qi Peiyun meant?The movement of bowing down stopped, but he still bowed his hands when Fifth Master came in.

With Qi Ding's support, Qi Zhen tried his best to stand up and salute.

Kang Yibang also reacted, and stepped forward to salute.

Because Liu Bailu was kneeling, he was spared the trouble of presenting the ceremony, and Liu Su and the others also got up to present the ceremony. Although Lin's sister-in-law and the others were rough people, they also knew that this "Fifth Master" probably had a strong background, otherwise they wouldn't let him Kang Yibang greeted him.The people in Lihua Lane who came to watch followed Liu Su's nondescript greetings, and then retreated obediently. If you don't retreat, you can't do it. The aura of this fifth master is extraordinary, and Kang Yibang's murderous aura and they can still stand up to it One, but the majesty of the superior in this fifth master made them extremely uncomfortable, and it was better to leave.

The Liu family became quiet in an instant, Fifth Master sat down first, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so polite, I'm here on a private matter, so you don't have to be so cautious."

Everyone got down and sat down at the signal of the fifth master, but Qi Peiyun just dragged Liu Bailu to kneel in front of Liu Junge and couldn't get up. Liu Bailu had no choice but to kneel with him, but in this way, it was like her She already has an affair with Qi Peiyun, and it's like asking her parents to help her.Liu Bailu felt extremely awkward.

Seeing Qi Zhen's frail appearance, the fifth master couldn't help but asked with concern: "How is Master Qi's health? I brought the imperial physician here this time, and asked the imperial physician to diagnose and treat Master Qi." He turned to Qi Peiyun again, Complaining: "Master Qi is so seriously ill, you don't even tell me, you can earn more money if you run out of money, just go next time if you don't have this opportunity. Master Qi's illness can't be delayed."

With Fifth Master's words, Qi Peiyun felt relieved, turned around on his knees and kowtowed to Fifth Master, "Thank you Fifth Master."

Fifth Master waved his hand, seeing that he was still kneeling, he couldn't help laughing and said, "I said, what are you doing?"

Qi Peiyun was a little helpless, looked at Fifth Master with a little expectation, and said: "Isn't I falling in love with her lady? Besides, my maid came here to make trouble for a while, and it also ruined Miss Liu's reputation. Can't you just marry someone else?"

Fifth Master laughed and said angrily: "Since you've taken a fancy to it, why are you so embarrassed?"

Qi Peiyun said innocently: "I originally thought that when the time was ripe, I would come to propose marriage in a serious manner. Today, if there is such a commotion, I am afraid that my future father-in-law will annoy me, so why not embarrass me?"

"Then you don't have to resign yourself to it!" Fifth Master said with hatred for iron and steel: "I told you to study more, but you don't want to, look at what you said! 'Reluctant to do it', it's no wonder Master Liu would marry his daughter to you!"

Qi Peiyun said with a playful smile: "Then please trouble Fifth Master to say something nice for me."

"Fifth Master." As soon as Qi Peiyun finished speaking, Kang Yibang called out forcefully.

Fifth Master turned to look at him: "What's the matter?" Before Kang Yibang could answer, he said "Yeah" and said, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot it. When I came, my mother asked me to tell you You, your marriage has been settled. It is the second young lady from Fu Bogong's mansion. This second young lady is famous for her talent and looks. She was also the No.3 of the famous ladies in Beijing last year. My mother said that the marriage is set for this year At the end of September, you hurry up and go back to make an appointment, then get married early and let your uncle and aunt have grandchildren."

"Thank you fifth master." The fifth master's words blocked Kang Yibang's words to death. How can there be a concubine just after getting married?This is too ridiculous, isn't it?Kang Yibang got up and thanked, but his cold eyes glanced at Qi Peiyun.

Liu Bailu felt inexplicably cold, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Kang Yibang's stern face. Her heart sank, she quickly lowered her head, and continued to act like a transparent person with lowered eyebrows.

Liu Bailu was afraid of Kang Yibang, but it didn't mean Qi Peiyun was afraid. He congratulated Kang Yibang unconsciously, and then turned his head to look at Fifth Master earnestly.

This look of a pug made Wu Ye really want to kick him, he sneered and said, "You look like you, do you want me to talk?"

Qi Peiyun nodded fiercely, any more force would have broken his neck.

The fifth master shook his head and laughed: "You, you! Are you really planning to be a rascal to the end? Forget it, forget it, I will beg for you. Master Liu, look, Pei Yun has a deep love for Miss Liu, and you still agreed to this door Let's get married. Otherwise, this scoundrel will have to put the whole pot of shit on Miss Liu."

Shit pot?Is her Liu Bailu's reputation still good now?Shit pot?This is really unnecessary.

Liu Bailu secretly slandered, and peeked out of the corner of his eyes at Fifth Master's smile, which was so appropriate no matter how he smiled, it was really infuriating. Liu Bailu had learned such a smile for more than ten years, but he could only maintain a smile that he could always look at. A very indifferent smile, but it can't be like the fifth master. Whether it's helplessness, laughter, disdain or seriousness, it's just the right face.

Such a person, to put it nicely, is to rest and recuperate, and to put it bluntly, to live with a mask on. The difference is that Liu Bailu's mask is too simple, while the fifth master is obviously much more advanced, and he has also practiced well. Come at your fingertips, and it will make you feel like a spring breeze, just right from the heart to the body.

Liu Junge looked at Liu Su's helplessly, if the fifth master hadn't come today, no matter how much Qi Peiyun made a fuss, he would never marry his daughter to him, but now that the fifth master asked, then naturally Very different.

While the Liu family was hesitating, another person entered the gate of the Liu family. This time, it was the eldest son of the Liu family, Liu Zixuan and Liu Zimo, and a frail scholar in his thirties.

This is the real scholar. Unlike Kang Yibang, who has a handsome face, a strong body and a vigorous walk, this scholar is thin and thin. When the wind blows, the thin gown sticks to his body, as if he will turn into a feather at any time. like a fairy.

Because there was such a frail scholar by his side, Liu Zixuan came back in a carriage today, and the carriage went directly to the door of Liu's house. They got off the carriage and entered the house without listening to the real discussions of the neighbors outside.

Therefore, when Liu Zixuan saw the property owner who was sitting upright, he was puzzled for a while, and then he came forward to greet him, but when he saw Qi Peiyun and Liu Bailu kneeling in front of Liu Junge, he gasped. Qi, he has been away all year round, so he knows what kind of person Qi Peiyun is rumored to be, and his current posture...

"I'll meet Fifth Master soon!" Liu Junge reminded, fearing that Liu Zixuan would expose Fifth Master's identity in front of outsiders.

Liu Zixuan hurriedly pulled Liu Zimo to salute the fifth master: "I have met the fifth master, I have met my father, my mother, Qi Shibo, and my aunt."

Liu Zimo and Liu Zixuan met each other one by one. He hadn't had a good time in the academy for the past few months, and the sale of the Han family had hit him hard, so he was uncharacteristically quiet during this time.

After seeing everyone, Liu Zixuan pulled the scholar to him, and introduced him to Master Wu: "Master Wu, this is Mr. Chenghui Academy, my colleague, Feng Xiucai. Brother Feng, this is Master Wu, this is my father , mother, Qi Shibo, auntie. This is my wife."

Liu Zixuan introduced Qiqi all around, but in the end, he didn't know if it was intentional or not, and the two kneeling on the ground fell behind.
