incense as a medium

Chapter 69
Liu Bailu looked up at Yuniang, who kowtowed gratefully to Liu Bailu, stopped the carriage, and Shuang Jiang rolled and crawled up.

"Your servant is guilty." As soon as he got into the car, Shuang Jiang knelt down on the shaft of the car.

Liu Bailu raised his eyelids, leaned back on the carriage and closed his eyes without saying a word.

Shuang Jiang and Yu Niang knelt inside and out, except for the exchange of glances at Chu Chu, neither of them dared to move.

The coachman was hired on a temporary basis, not from the Qi family, so naturally he would not obediently obey Liu Bailu's orders. When he saw someone go up, he would quickly catch up with the carriage in front with a flick of his whip. He could go out and run again after finishing his work earlier. Make some money.

The carriage stopped at the door of Qi's house, and before Liu Bailu got up, Shuang Jiang had already climbed down, kneeling humblely on the cold ground with his back as a pedal.

Yu Niang felt sorry for her daughter, but she could only reach out to help Liu Bailu by the side of the car as she got off the station.

Liu Bailu stood on the shaft of the car, looking at Shuangjiang's stubborn back with cold eyes. Grandma Zhou and others, who had never seen such a posture, gathered around and stared at Liu Bailu.

Liu Bailu lowered her eyelids, supported Yuniang's hand, her jade feet wrapped in straw sandals lightly protruded and stepped on Shuangjiang's back, and got off the carriage. As soon as she stood still, she flicked her wide sleeves and said: "Follow me to welcome mother to get off the car."

Even though he was dressed in coarse linen, Liu Bailu also showed a graceful and luxurious aura, with a straight back, a slightly raised jaw, and a pair of eyes that were calm, just like that kind of honor, that kind of nobleman who should use servants as footsteps .

Shuang Jiang got up, bowed his waist, followed Liu Bailu in small steps, walked to the front of Qi Ding's carriage and knelt down.

Liu Bailu cast a glance at Shuang Jiang, bowed slightly, and said, "Mother, please get out of the car."

Qi Ding was waiting for Liu Bailu to come and asked her to help him get out of the car. There was no sound outside, and she didn't show her head to look at it. When she lifted the curtain of the car, she suddenly saw Shuang Jiang kneeling below, and then He was taken aback for a while, but the Qi Ding family had a good time after all, even if he had never used such a battle, he had seen it before, but he returned to normal in the blink of an eye, and got out of the car with Liu Bailu's men. Glancing at Shuangjiang, remembering what Mrs. Yuan had reported just now, she rolled her eyes and said, "Bai Lu, this slave is also a human being, you have gone too far."

Grandma Zhou followed and said, "Yes, how can this person be used as an object?"

Qi Ding echoed: "Grandma Zhou said that if this girl did something wrong, it's fine if you beat her up, humiliating her in public is not what everyone did."

Liu Bailu looked at Qi Ding's eyes without blinking, and as expected, when Grandma Zhou said "Huh" and asked, "What big mistake did she make, she wanted to hit the board?", the corner of Qi Ding's mouth It bends almost imperceptibly.

Liu Bailu flicked the hem of his clothes, and said a few words slowly before Qi Ding could speak: "Disrespect to my late father."

Just after Qi Zhen was buried, Shuang Jiang disrespected him. It stands to reason that such a fault was enough to kill Shuang Jiang's stick. The mere five words made Qi Ding hold his breath in his chest, his face flushed. The son said that Shuang Jiang had a very happy conversation with Kang Yibang, and looking at Shuang Jiang's appearance, he seemed to be interested in Kang Yibang.

Qi Ding wanted to take advantage of Shuangjiang's mistake, accusing Liu Bailu of being at fault in his family education, so he managed to take advantage of Liu Bailu in the future, but he was robbed by Liu Bailu.

Grandma Zhou let out an "ah" and fell silent.

Liu Bailu glanced at Qi Dingshi, then looked at Shuang Jiang on the ground shrugging his shoulders, squinted his eyes, this person can no longer stay!

I thought that when she came back, she would change her mind, but who would have thought that she would set a trap for herself as soon as she came back.The father-in-law has just died, and his bones are still cold, yet the daughter-in-law uses servants wantonly and walks on her back. Even in Beijing, only princes, nobles and others would behave like this!This is to let yourself leave the name of arrogance and domineering in Yongkangguan, right?

Liu Bailu greeted Grandma Zhou farewell, turned around and supported Qi Ding's arm, and said calmly, "Mother, it's time to go back."

Looking at Liu Bailu's face without waves in the ancient well, Qi Ding was angry for no reason in his heart, but now is not the time to be angry, let's see how to deal with her in the future!
***
In the east wing, Liu Bailu slept on a large pillow with her eyes closed. Although there are not many guests these days, and she does not need to take care of funerals, it takes a lot of energy and energy to watch and cry every day, and the mourning can only eat light food After that, she was obviously tired a lot.

The door curtain was raised by someone, and then lowered carefully, only a gust of wind was brought in by the person who came.

Liu Bailu closed his eyes and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

Qi Peiyun stood in front of her and said condescendingly: "You want to drive Shuang Jiang out?"

"Huh?" Liu Bailu opened his eyes and looked at him calmly, but his mind turned quickly, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a few words: "What do you mean?"

If it was in the past, Qi Peiyun must have felt that Liu Bailu hadn't reacted yet, but now he felt that the woman in front of him was no longer the little girl he had known many years ago. , made him affirm one thing even more: "Shuangjiang can't leave."

"Oh?" Liu Bailu raised her brows and pursed her thin lips lightly: "What if I insist on sending her away?"

Qi Peiyun lifted his clothes and sat down on the edge of the kang, said: "My father just passed away, and you let the dowry maid get married, isn't it appropriate?"

Liu Bailu sneered, went through several answers in his head, and finally chose a mild answer: "Shuangjiang made a mistake and was kicked out. Her family took money to redeem her, and she will not be a member of the Qi family in the future." Of course, the funeral of the Qi family has nothing to do with her."

Qi Peiyun didn't speak, just squinted at her.

Liu Bailu didn't know why, so he blinked at Qi Peiyun with innocent peach blossom eyes.

After watching like this for less than half a cup of tea, Qi Peiyun fled with his helmet and armor removed.

The room fell silent for a while, and Liu Bailu propped his chin and stared at the direction of the door, lost in thought for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sneeze from outside.

Liu Bailu frowned slightly, the funeral was over, as soon as she entered the door, Yuniang asked to leave, and hurried away without waiting for Liu Bailu to nod in agreement.Qi Zheng and the others even packed up their salutes early on and ordered their carriages to stop outside the city. Qi Zhen had just been buried, and there would be an anti-crying ceremony afterward. up.

Now the Qi family's family is just Qi Peiyun, Qi Pei'an, Qi Dingshi and Shuang Jiang, who will sneeze at her door at this moment, except for Shuang Jiang, there are really no other candidates.

"Why are you kneeling here? It's very cold, go into the house quickly." It was Qi Peiyun's voice.

Liu Bailu sat up straight suddenly, gently opened a line of windows and looked out.I saw Shuang Jiang kneeling in the middle of the courtyard in thin clothes, and Qi Peiyun in white filial piety standing beside her with a concerned look on his face.

It is now the beginning of November, and the snow will fall in a few days, and the cold outside can be imagined.

As if aware of someone peeping, Qi Peiyun quickly took off his coat and put it on Shuangjiang. He was wearing a filial piety dress, and the thin linen clothes were not very useful, but it made Shuangjiang blush.

Liu Bailu pursed her lips tightly and suddenly lowered the window, the air seemed to be drawn away with the lowering of the window, and she felt severe chest tightness for a while.

Shuang Jiang took off the clothes on his shoulders, held his hands high, and said: "Young master, the posture of the servant girl Pu Liu, whose life is as cheap as dirt, should not be treated so dearly by my uncle."

Qi Peiyun didn't force her to wear it, he took the clothes casually in his hand, and asked casually: "General Kang often visits your house?"

Shuang Jiang looked at Qi Peiyun suspiciously, and said: "Young Master and General Kang are old friends, don't you know that General Kang already has a heart?"

This is how people feel that everything is fine when no one reminds them, but once someone says something and sticks a needle in your heart, then all kinds of things in the past, so that some things are nothing at all. The matter of meaning has also become mysterious, coupled with my own speculation, an answer that I think is correct has surfaced.

Kang Yibang used to give gifts to a family every year. At first, Qi Peiyun didn't know it was the Liu family, but when he found out later, he just thought that Kang Jia was an old friend of the Liu family, so he followed the orders of his parents to act like this, but Now that I think about it, I'm afraid Kang Yibang has already taken a fancy to Liu Bailu, right?

At that time, Liu Bailu was still engaged, but why did Kang Yibang come to her door frequently?

Kang Yibang had been at the border all the time before, and rarely returned to Beijing, even during the Chinese New Year, he almost never went back. Could it be love at first sight?
Seeing the sullen look on Qi Peiyun's face, a gleam of joy flashed in Shuang Jiang's eyes, and he said persistently: "Our young lady has always been arrogant."

At the end of the words, Shuang Jiang linked Kang Yibang and Liu Bailu together, Qi Peiyun put away his unruly look and stared at Shuang Jiang closely, his eyes were like sharp knives trying to cut her open, let's see what she said True or false.

Shuang Jiang's heart skipped a beat, he lowered his head, held his breath to make his face blush, and said: "I have been in love with my uncle for a long time, and I can't bear to see my uncle kept in the dark. In fact, in fact, our lady and General Kang have long been in love. Yue, but the family background of the Liu family is not good, so General Kang can't accept the position of wife, and our young lady refuses to be humble, so I deliberately lured you and Feng Xiucai to come to propose marriage, just to make General Kang anxious, so Xu Take the position of wife."

Shuang Jiang spoke quickly and anxiously, as if worried that Qi Peiyun would be deceived by Liu Bailu.

Qi Peiyun paced back and forth, his complexion changed suddenly, he stopped suddenly, stared at Shuang Jiang, and burst out laughing.

Shuang lowered his head down, and now, Qi Peiyun laughed even louder. He flicked his sleeves and strode into the east wing.

Liu Bailu could see clearly, seeing Qi Peiyun turned around, with that carefree expression on his face, he couldn't help curling the corners of his lips, turned around and watched Qi Peiyun come in, and sat down on the kang.

Liu Bailu came over with a cup of tea, put the tea in his hand silently, then opened the closet and slowly took out the clothes and jewelry.

Qi Peiyun looked at it very curiously: "What are you doing?"

Liu Bailu didn't speak.

Qi Peiyun became a little uneasy, and ran to Liu Bailu's side, bowing and apologizing: "I'm sorry, I was wrong just now, and I got angry at you without asking clearly."

Liu Bailu remained silent, just holding the clothes back and forth, she was also just married, and she didn't have time to tidy up the clothes, which saved her from rummaging, back and forth a few times, but only took out three or five sets of clothes, and she Go to the corner and open the box.
