incense as a medium

Chapter 53
"Sister!" Liu Zixuan rushed into the yard with a tired face, and when he saw Liu Bailu, he called out first, turned his eyes around her a few times, and asked with concern, "Are you injured? Where are your parents?"

Liu Bailu smiled and shook his head.

The sister-in-law of the Lin family glanced behind Liu Zixuan, and opened her mouth in surprise, but this was not something she could interrupt, and seeing that everything in the yard was almost packed, she said a few words and left.

Liu Bailu said with tears in his eyes at this time: "Everything is fine at home. My parents have gone to Yongkang Pass. My sister-in-law gave birth to a niece. Today is the third day of my marriage. I am waiting for my elder brother to name her."

Even though Liu Zixuan wanted to see his wife and children again at this moment, he could not hold back his temper and asked: "Xiang Bo said that all the things in the house have been stolen. I am afraid that my father and mother went to Yongkangguan for the dowry of my sister. The sister's marriage cannot be neglected. , not to mention what happened during the engagement that day, my sister doesn't have a generous dowry, I'm afraid people will look down on her if she gets married. This is some money I've saved in the past few years, you can use it."

Liu Zixuan untied the purse from his waist and stuffed it into Liu Bailu's hand.

As soon as she got it, Liu Bailu knew that the money might be as much as 50 taels. She sniffed, stuffed her purse back, and said, "Brother, my sister-in-law's dystocia is hurting her body, so I'd better give my sister-in-law some money."

Liu Zixuan shook his head, pushed back Liu Bailu's hand, and said, "Don't worry about your sister-in-law's body. My mother-in-law wrote a letter earlier saying that she will take her back to the capital for a while after giving birth. Mother-in-law will definitely take care of you." Your sister-in-law is taking care of her body. At present, it is still your business that matters."

"Brother..." Liu Bailu's face was sad. His wife had to go back and forth to give birth to children for him, and now he has to rely on his mother's family to take care of his body. It can be done...

Liu Zixuan smiled, patted Liu Bailu on the shoulder, turned and entered the west wing.

Liu Bailu looked down at the purse in her hand and tears were falling down, especially when Liu Zixuan and Qin's quarrel came from the west wing, she cried even harder, but there was a determination in her eyes, unprecedented Resolute!
***
In the evening, Liu Sushi and Liu Junge, who looked tired, came back and learned that the neighbors had helped a lot in today's baptism. The couple who had neglected this matter immediately dragged their tired bodies from house to house to thank them.

When the Liu family was busy, no one noticed that there was a delicate and weak figure standing timidly in the corner of the yard.

When everyone was free, dinner was being set in the flower hall, Liu Bailu stood in the east wing and took a look outside, only then did he realize that there was such a person in the yard.

She fixed her eyes, walked to Shuang Jiang who was washing clothes by the well, and asked, "Who is this person?"

Shuang Jiang had been busy for a whole day without touching the ground, and at this moment, washing clothes was considered a moment of respite. Hearing this, he only looked up and said, "I heard from my father that this slave girl seems to be the girl rescued by the young master on the way back. I can go home, so I brought it back."

Liu Bailu nodded slightly, then frowned and said, "Why bring her back? Our family is like this now..."

Liu Bailu sighed, but she couldn't let it go, she turned her eyes to look, and there was no room left on the other side, so she went in and told Liu Sushi and Liu Junge.

The two of them hadn't had time to meet their son when they came back, so naturally they didn't know about this person in the yard, and hearing what Liu Bailu said at this time, they couldn't help but feel troubled.

But Liu Bailu said: "In any case, the person was brought back by the elder brother, so it is up to the elder brother to decide. It is getting late now, and according to the elder brother's opinion, the sister-in-law's mother is coming soon. Why don't you clean up the warehouse and the ancestor tablet Put it in the warm pavilion of the main house. The warehouse is for that girl. Waiting for the sister-in-law's mother to send someone over, there is also a place to live."

Everything in the warehouse has been emptied, and now there is only one ancestral memorial tablet left, and the Nuan Pavilion in the main house is Han's residence, and it is empty now, that room cannot be used by that girl, nor is it suitable for entertaining guests, so that's the only way to go .

Liu Junge nodded and agreed after thinking for a while.

Liu Bailu stepped back and personally invited the ancestral tablet over.

The dinner was quickly set, and Liu Zixuan, who hadn't been out of the West Wing, had just pulled out to meet his parents at this moment.

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Zixuan knelt down in front of Liu Junge, kowtowed and said: "My son is not filial, he has not been at home for the past few days, and has frightened his mother and sister."

Liu Sushi hurriedly got up to help Liu Zixuan, and said with tears in his eyes, "Even if you are here, the other party has an imperial edict, and it won't be of much use."

Liu Zixuan insisted on not being able to get up. If he had been there that day, although he could not change anything, but there was a man under the support of a group of women in the family, so he would not suffer so much psychologically. Even the Qin family, I am afraid that he would not be scared Fetal gas and premature birth.

Liu Junge waved his hand and said: "If you really feel ashamed, in the future, you will be more filial to your mother, better to your sister, and more respectful to your daughter-in-law, then I will be satisfied."

Liu Zixuan didn't understand what Liu Junge meant, but he made a note to be filial to his mother and treat his younger sister better. He immediately said: "My son knows that this accident happened in the family. I'm afraid my younger sister will be wronged in the future. There is a shop, my mother said she would leave it to me. Now I don’t want it, let’s give it to my sister as a dowry!”

Liu Junge stared at Liu Zixuan's face, seeing that he sincerely wanted to give the shop to Liu Bailu, he smiled in relief.

But Liu Su let out a long sigh of relief. Yesterday she and Liu Junge rushed to Yongkang Pass non-stop for the dowry matter. It would be fine if the dowry list had not been sent over, but now that it has been sent over, you have to know if you want to change the dowry. Will be in-laws.

Originally, the mother-in-law's family had no room for pecking at how many things the mother-in-law's family gave, but in the end it was related to Liu Bailu's life in the Qi family in the future, and the dowry had already been set. It was a good excuse for Qi Ding's family to deal with Liu Bailu in the future.

As expected, Qi Ding was not so easy to talk to. When he first heard that the dowry was reduced, he was about to divorce immediately. It was Qi Zhen who came out with a sick body and sternly said that he wanted to divorce his wife. shop.

How could Liu Bailu not know the current situation of the Liu family?She shook her head like a splashing drum, and kept refusing: "How can this be possible! Now the only valuable thing in the family is this shop, and now it has a small surplus under the management of the sister-in-law. Now that the family is so difficult, how can I keep the money?" This shop was given to me? What's more, will sister-in-law agree?"

Liu Su looked at her daughter and then at her son. After all, she felt sorry for her more. She said, "Bailu, you can accept it, otherwise your elder brother will not feel at ease. As for your sister-in-law, you don't have to worry, mother." I'll try to convince her."

She still couldn't say what Qi Ding said, and it was fine if her daughter didn't know.

Looking at her mother's miserable face, Liu Bailu suddenly understood something, and she asked, "But what did the Qi family say?"

Liu Su's body trembled, she shook her head and said: "You can rest assured that you are ready to marry, you don't have to worry about these little things."

However, Liu Bailu looked at Liu Su stubbornly. Knowing her daughter's temper, she almost blurted out Qi Ding's words, but Xiang Bo hurried in and said, "Master, madam, the Qi family sent someone here." .”

Someone from the Qi family?

A look of determination appeared in Liu Bailu's eyes. If the Qi family was aggressive, she would rather be divorced again than her parents suffer any grievances for her!
Liu Zixuan glanced at Liu Junge, saw him nodding, got up and stood behind Liu Junge, and said to Xiang Bo, "Let her in."

Soon, a thin figure appeared outside the door, and Liu Bailu's eyes were fixed. Is this person Qi Pei'an?Qi Peiyun's concubine sister, Fang Xiaoyou's daughter Qi Pei'an.

Liu Bailu frowned, looked at Qi Pei'an who was timid and bowed his knees to salute, and then said tremblingly: "Mother, mother asked me to say, say, that the marriage is ahead of schedule."

"In advance?" Liu Sushi and Liu Junge looked at each other, Liu Sushi asked in surprise, "Why is it so hasty?"

During the fierce debate between the two parties in the Qi family, Qi Ding pressed her every step of the way, and did not say that she would advance the marriage. However, when they went home, Qi Pei'an chased after them and said that the marriage should be advanced. What is going on? ?Is the Qi family going to make things difficult for the Liu family again?
Liu Bailu stared at Qi Pei'an coldly, and said slowly: "Is this what you mean or what auntie means?"

Qi Pei'an trembled, and said cowardly: "Yes, it's what mother meant."

Liu Bailu's brows did not relax: "Why are you talking about such an important matter? Even if Auntie hires someone to talk about it, it is better than you."

Liu Bailu really doubted Qi Pei'an's purpose, but in Qi Pei'an's ears, she felt that Liu Bailu looked down on her as a concubine. Tears quickly gathered in her eyes, and she choked up and said, "Father, father is not in good health. So, mother said to get married early."

"What?" Liu Su stood up abruptly. She and Qi Zhen were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship was naturally extraordinary: "Tell me, what's going on?"

Qi Pei'an shook his head, tears rolling down like broken beads: "I, I don't know... After you left today, my father and mother had a quarrel, and I hid out in fear. When I came back, Mom let me come here."

Liu Bailu's eyes fell on Qi Pei'an's hand, a bright red bloodstain was exposed from the sleeve, she stepped forward and took Qi Pei'an's hand and rolled up her sleeve, only to see the thin The arm with the remaining bones was covered with deep and shallow scars, new and old scars criss-crossing.

Looking at Qi Pei'an's hand, it was much rougher than Shuang Jiang's hand, Liu Bailu's heart softened instantly.

Liu Sushi and Liu Junge discussed in a low voice, because he has already asked for two days off, he can't guarantee that he will be able to accompany Liu Sushi to Yongkang Pass tomorrow, but fortunately Liu Zixuan is back, tomorrow will be taken by Liu Zixuan It's also okay to take Liu Su's family to Yongkang Pass.
