Chapter 34: The Visitor

Madame Bai came back from the General's Mansion and came to see Bai Qiyu as usual. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your eldest sister is pregnant now, and a lot of spices are useless, so I didn't bring them...... But what are the spices that soothe the nerves and protect the fetus?"

Bai Qiyu naturally knew that pregnant people were not suitable for many incense, so she didn't propose to let Mrs. Bai bring it yesterday, but since she asked, she still had to talk about it.

"The mother also knows that pregnant people have a special constitution, and it is best not to touch spices and the like, but if you want to get rid of turbidity, you can use a little mint lotion. ”

Madame Bai nodded secretly, and said, "I see that you are much better today......

After a few more gossips, Madame Bai went back to Graceland.

Qiushui clutched his chest and sighed, "It's scared to death!"

"What's the matter? Now you're getting less daring, and when you go to do something, don't you be afraid?" Bai Qiyu teased her.

Qiushui took Bai Qiyu's arm and sat down on the kang with an "oops", "Miss, what else do you say, I almost can't come back today!"

Bai Qiyu patted her arm funny, "Okay, okay, I know you were frightened today, isn't this someone heroically saving beauty, you should be happy!"

"Oops!"

Qiushui jumped up and said with a look of surprise on his face to Bai Qiyu, "Miss, I suddenly remembered that it was him!"

"Who's him?"

"Oh, miss, it's the one who saved me, he seems to be acting on orders, I guess it's the son of everyone who saved you. ”

Qiushui guessed, "When I saw that person from afar, I felt as if I had seen him somewhere, and he should be right." ”

Bai Qiyu couldn't help but smile when he saw her extremely determined appearance, "There are so many coincidences in this world, do you see dazzling?"

"The slave's eyes are good, how could she be wrong!" Qiushui pouted.

Wen Ying sent Mrs. Bai back to the house, and several people laughed for a while before stopping.

After two more days of rest, my body has also improved.

Early in the morning, Bai Qiyu called Qiushui to serve her to dress and comb her hair, "Today is almost fine, I should go and ask my mother for peace." ”

Of course, the most important point -- Xu Suxin will come over today.

After cleaning up, he used a little gruel for side dishes, and then tied a thin cloak with white edges of rabbit fur and took Wenying out.

Mrs. Bai was also having breakfast, and Bai Shihua and Bai Liuyun were also there.

Seeing Bai Qiyu coming, several people were slightly surprised.

Mrs. Bai hurriedly said with concern, "Even if it's good, you should cultivate for two more days, how good would it be if the cold wind blows again when you rush over like this!"

Bai Qiyu smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, it's not so cold these days, I've been lazy these days, and now that it's okay, I should naturally come to my mother to say goodbye." ”

"Is it time for breakfast? Let's sit down and eat some together." ”

Bai Qiyu was not easy to refuse, so he sat down like a stream, Wen Hui saw her look and knew that she had used breakfast, and was very careful and only served a small half bowl of porridge to her.

Bai Qiyu quietly showed a grateful look.

Maybe it's because of Wen Ying, is this "someone in the court who is good to be an official"? Bai Qiyu couldn't help but smile when he thought about it.

After finishing breakfast quietly, the three sisters accompanied Mrs. Bai to have tea for a while.

"Xiao Qi looks good, it looks really good. ”

Madam Bai nodded with relief and smiled, "Then I will send someone to talk to your second sister today, and let's go see her together tomorrow." ”

"But it's up to my mother. ”

Bai Shihua and Bai Liuyun were naturally happy, but Bai Qiyu didn't care much.

said that he was going to see the second sister, but in fact, he asked the second sister to see them, and several people knew the reason.

A few people talked and laughed, and Mrs. Bai talked about some anecdotes in Beijing in the past, but it was a happy scene.

A maid came to say that a guest had come to visit, claiming to be the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Li Mansion in Linfeng City.

Madame Bai was surprised, Xu Suxin came at this time, and unconsciously glanced at Bai Qiyu.

saw that Bai Qiyu also looked surprised.

Originally, I didn't treat the young grandmother of the Li Mansion very much, but people came to visit, and the visitor was a guest, so I couldn't see it.

Mrs. Bai smiled and instructed Mother Wang, "Go and welcome you in, this can be regarded as meeting an old friend in another country." ”

Bai Shihua's eyebrows turned slightly, and he said, "No, I often move around in Linfeng City, I remember that the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Li family also sent a lot of tweed to our seventh sister." ”

Saying that, he looked at Bai Qiyu with a smile, "Seventh sister?"

Bai Qiyu said to Mrs. Bai with a smile, "Speaking of which, my daughter hasn't thanked her properly." ”

Yayuan is not far from the front hall, but after a cup of tea, Mother Wang greeted a woman with a brisk step and a little vitality to come in, it was Xu Suxin who Bai Qiyu had always wanted to see.

The thick black hair combed through the Lingyun bun, the hairpin with two delicately engraved golden flower hairpins and a phoenix ruby golden step swaying, the pendant jade in her ears shook lightly, which made her more lively and refreshing.

Steadily gave a blessing to Mrs. Bai, and greeted Bai Qiyu and the three of them, Xu Suxin smiled and said, "I heard that my aunt brought a few sisters to Beijing, and I should have come to see my aunt a long time ago, but the family has been busy with affairs recently, and I have to be free until today, so please don't blame my aunt." ”

As for "busy affairs", Mrs. Bai naturally knows what the affairs are, the Li family has moved to the capital for less than a month, and the Xu family and the Li family have entered the government, so they have to be busy for a while.

Madame Bai hurriedly beckoned her to sit down beside her, shook her hand and said with a smile, "We have just arrived in the capital and settled down, so we haven't had time to congratulate you yet." It's really a double happiness! It's also right to be busy, but don't tire yourself out. ”

Xu Suxin smiled, "I'm a busy person. ”

I took out the prepared gift, which was a handkerchief embroidered on both sides, "This is a little caution for a few sisters, and it is also a popular appearance in Beijing, so I can use it if I like it, and it is good to give it away if I am not used to it." ”

Bai Shihua is good at embroidery, I have long heard how delicate and rare double-sided embroidery has not had the opportunity to see, I didn't expect to get a double-sided embroidery today, I was a little surprised at the same time, this double-sided embroidery is now prevalent, but it is very precious!

couldn't help but glance at Xu Suxin a few times.

Several people thanked each other.

Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "I heard that this double-sided embroidery is a new embroidery method developed by an embroiderer last year, and it has not been spread for long, and the works of double-sided embroidery are also difficult to find. ”

Xu Suxin said modestly, "An embroidery girl in the Xu family and that embroidery girl used to be old acquaintances, and I was fortunate to learn a few points, but in the end I can't compare to the real skills of others......"

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised and envious when they heard this, and Mrs. Bai nodded and praised, "This is really a rare fate!"

And said, "It's a pity that my daughters are not ready, and they usually embroider some ordinary looks, and now they see this double-sided embroidered treasure, which can be regarded as an eye-opener and a little more knowledgeable, and it is good to know that there are people outside the world." ”

Bai Qiyu secretly slandered himself, this is getting farther and farther, he just listened carefully, and slowly tasted the tea......

After chatting a few words, Xu Suxin talked about his grandmother, "...... I'm old, I have a headache and brain fever, and I can't sleep well, I heard that lily incense can calm the nerves and promote sleep, but those spices are a little rough, and they can't compare to the seventh sister's fragrance, so I cheekily want to ask the seventh sister if she has lily fragrance?"

Madame Bai said, "I couldn't sleep well a few days ago, so Xiao Qi specially mixed the lily fragrance for me to use, but it was quite effective...... Xiao Qi, do you still have lily dew there? If not, take mine and use it. ”

Bai Qiyu nodded and said, "There are still two bottles, if they are combined, it doesn't hurt if my sister takes them all." ”

"Just send a maid over. Madame Bai said.

Xu Suxin took Mrs. Bai's arm and smiled a little playfully, "Don't be so troublesome, I'll go with the seventh sister to get it, and I happen to be walking around the garden to see the new courtyard of the seventh sister." ”

Madame Bai instructed Bai Qiyu, "You three sisters should accompany Su Xin to play for a while, just leave it in your yard for lunch, remember to let the mother-in-law prepare a little more attentive......

After several people left, Mrs. Bai and Wang's mother talked about the Li family, which was nothing more than a family background and promotion, and they couldn't help but sigh for a while.

After all, there is still a good wife.

The main thing, of course, is to have a good son......

Xu Suxin followed the three sisters out of the Graceland and went to Evian Pavilion.

Because Bai Shihua and Bai Liuyun were there, Xu Suxin and Bai Qiyu didn't say anything about the tacit understanding, but Bai Shihua had been chatting with Xu Suxin about embroidery, and it seemed that he was interested in the double-sided embroidery.

Xu Suxin has always been polite and polite to Bai Shihua and Bai Liuyun, but he will not take the initiative to set it up, and not long after sitting in Evian Pavilion, the two of them left one after another.

Bai Qiyu smiled and said, "It's hard for them to sit here with me for so long today, and they never exceed half an hour on weekdays." ”

After retiring the maid, Xu Suxin talked about Bai Qiyu's most concerned things without any scruples.

Hearing that she had already found a store, as soon as the goods opened on an auspicious day, Bai Qiyu jumped up with joy, "Sister Su, you are so good!

"That's! Don't look at who did it!" Xu Suxin slanted at her proudly, "Say, how are you going to thank me?"

Bai Qiyu hugged her arm and grinned, "I'll give you whatever you want!"

"You're generous!"

After laughing for a while, Xu Suxin talked about the relevant matters of the store, "...... The contract is ten years, and it is also a priority to renew it in the future, on the main street of the east city, the location is very good, and the shop is also large...... According to your needs, there is a small courtyard at the back, with two main rooms, four wing rooms, and two small ear rooms...... The annual rent is two hundred and sixty taels of silver, the deposit is one hundred taels, and the rent is paid once a year......"

Bai Qiyu nodded while listening carefully.

"What do you think of this?" Xu Suxin asked her.

"Such conditions are naturally better, and the rent is not expensive......" Bai Qiyu said and frowned slightly, "The inventory I prepared will arrive at the end of the month, but there are not many goods now, and I can't always be in Beijing, so many recipes can't be used directly, so I have to think of a way to ......."

Xu Suxin also felt that this was the biggest problem, and came up with an idea, "Why don't I think about introducing you to the right person, you can marry directly to the capital." ”

Bai Qiyu's face was slightly pale, "What is your idea, I don't want to get married so early." ”

Xu Suxin couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Yes, I forgot that you are still young......

Xu Suxin stayed here with Bai Qiyu for a day, and did not go to say goodbye to Mrs. Bai until the afternoon.
