Chapter 101: To Tongzhou

This kind of matter of accepting and choosing a servant is a happy event in some people's homes, but in Baifu, it is really not a happy event, and it even makes people feel a little depressed in it. Therefore, Bai Yuntang spoke very seriously, and Mrs. Bai was also indifferent.

Bai Qiyu and the others listened obediently, and when they went to the study in Baiyun Hall, Mrs. Bai returned to Graceland, and the sisters said a few more happy words to Bai Liuyun before they were ready to go back.

Bai Jiuxiang asked Bai Qiyu, "Seventh sister, do you want to make incense today?"

And Bai Baozhu, who was about to leave on the other side, also stopped and looked at it when he heard it, looking curious, Bai Liuyun frowned.

Bai Qiyu said, "It's to make incense, I saw that the cloves in the courtyard were blooming these days, so I planned to pick some and make some perfume and balsam," and joked to her with a smile, "If you want to go, you can't be lazy, you have to help me pick them." ”

Bai Jiuxiang took Bai Qiyu's arm and grinned.

Bai Liuyun on the other side pretended to laugh jokingly, "No matter when, the seventh sister is thinking about making incense, but she is really relieved." ”

Listening to her sarcastic tone, Bai Qiyu smiled slightly, "It's just a little hobby, hasn't the sixth sister always liked to use perfume balm, and when I make a new one here, you can choose, speaking of which, although I and the sixth sister are siblings, there are many differences." ”

Bai Baozhu smiled at the right time, "I heard that the sixth sister is doing embroidery these days, and she has always wanted to ask for advice, I don't know if the sixth sister has free time?"

Bai Jiuxiang didn't wait for Bai Liuyun to speak, and said, "I and the eighth sister also have different hobbies, like I can't bear to embroider all the time, I still like some interesting ones, then you follow the sixth sister to learn the girl, I'll go to the seventh sister!"

After saying goodbye to Bai Liuyun, Bai Qiyu took Bai Jiuxiang back to Evian Pavilion.

Along the way, Bai Jiuxiang was chattering, chatting about the gonzo in Beijing that he heard from the maid woman, and then mentioning Li Xin'er, pouting and asking Bai Qiyu to want to meet Li Xin'er.

Bai Qiyu let her laugh, she hid her active and joyful temperament, she is usually very demure in front of outsiders, but she likes Bai Jiuxiang has always been lively and cute, although she will be a little careful, but compared with her peers here, it is also rare innocence, and it is no wonder that she can get along with Li Xin'er.

Wen Ying looked interesting and smiled and said, "Miss Nine is embarrassed by Miss Seven, Miss Seven has been in Beijing for so long, and it is difficult to get out once, how can there be a way to take you to see the eldest lady of the Li family? ”

Bai Jiuxiang smiled and clapped her hands, nodded straight and said, "Yes, yes, I'll write to her first, I also made some small puppets and other things before, and I can also take them to her to play with by the way later, this is what the Seventh Sister taught me to do!"

After returning to Evian Pavilion, Bai Qiyu took Wen Ying to pick cloves, while Bai Jiuxiang stayed at the banquet and spread out the letterhead and wrote a letter.

After noon, Bai Qiyu sent Qiu Xing out of the house to deliver a letter, and by the way, he also took a look at the recent business of the raider, and also asked if the house in Sixian Hutong was ready.

In the quiet afternoon of Evian Pavilion, Bai Qiyu was busy making incense and fragrance, Wen Ying took a hand, Bai Jiuxiang watched curiously on the side, and saw that the juice extracted from the clove flower grinding was filled with several glass bottles, and couldn't help but wonder, "Seventh sister, why do you make so many fragrances just for cloves?"

"This is not a fragrance dew, it has to go through several processes and then mix and blend, this clove can be combined with other fragrances to form different fragrances, and the fragrance will also have different ......changes," Bai Qiyu patiently explained to her one by one.

Qiu Xing returned home, opened the maid, and reported to Bai Qiyu in the banquet room about the business and the house.

“...... The goods in the shop are still not available, and the business has been affected somewhat...... There are several wives of the adult family who want to buy shares, and Aunt Ruan Qing said that it depends on what you mean, but if you agree, what will the grandmother of the Li family say......"

Bai Qiyu also expected these situations, and thought for a while, "Has the house set up a workshop according to my requirements?" If it is set up, the goods will be available immediately, just wait for Qiuling and them to enter Beijing in the next few days, as for the matter of buying shares, forget it, I don't want to mix it so complicated, and there is no shortage of that bit of silver, but the people who should be befriended are still good, after all, these ladies are more involved in the official face. ”

He also said, "Qiuling and they will definitely go to the raider workshop first when they enter Beijing, and then I will directly arrange for them to go to the house, and I will find time to leave the house......"

Qiu Xing promised one by one, and went to the raider to spread the message.

After two days, when several new incense sticks were burned, Bai Yuntang left the capital and set off for Tongzhou, and Mrs. Bai led everyone to send him to the main gate and got into the carriage, and waited until the carriage disappeared at the turn of the alley, and then returned to Graceland.

Bai Qiyu didn't seem surprised, thinking about it, if it weren't for the matter of choosing a waiter, he would have gone to the coast to be busy with sea trade.

Coincidentally, Bai Yuntang had just left for less than half an hour, and Li Xin'er sent someone to send a post, which was sent directly to Graceland.

Wen Ying heard that Li Xin'er was going to come to visit tomorrow, but Mrs. Bai didn't care, and only asked Wang's mother to arrange it, and didn't say anything.

Bai Jiuxiang was very happy to know it, pestering Bai Qiyu to discuss how to play tomorrow, Bai Qiyu told Qiushui to prepare to bring some things to Xu Suxin, and replied to Bai Jiuxiang, which made her happy.

The next day, Li Xin'er passed the house, but Bai Qiyu received the news that Qiu Ling and several people had arrived in Beijing at the same time, and couldn't help but want to leave the house immediately, but because Li Xin'er was still in the house, Xiao Jiu also asked her to accompany her, so she had to give up and instructed Qiu Xing to make good arrangements.

Qiu Xing quietly went out of the house, picked up Qiu Ling and Xu Zhixing's mother and son, and arranged them in the newly purchased house, and Aunt Ruan Qing went over to see a few people.

When Li Xin'er left Baifu, Bai Qiyu went back to his yard, and after dinner, he took advantage of the beginning of the night, and Qiu Xing sneaked out of Baifu with him, and went straight to the house in Sanxian Hutong not far away.

In the quiet alley, there was only the sound of two people walking, and in front of an ordinary courtyard gate, Qiu Xing stopped and knocked on the door.

The one who opened the door was an old man in his fifties, and when he saw Qiu Xing, he hurriedly stepped aside, "Miss Qiu Xing is here, please come in." ”

Qiu Xing helped Bai Qiyu's arm and entered the door, "This is Uncle Wu of the porter, who used to work in Aunt Ruan Qing's courtyard, and now he is here to take care of things in the front yard." He said to Wu Bo again, "This is Miss Seven, and this yard is the property under Miss Seven's name." ”

Bai Qiyu smiled and called "Uncle Wu" and said, "I will trouble Uncle Wu to take care of it in the future." ”

Uncle Wu hurriedly said, "Miss Seventh is polite, please come in." ”

There was already a maid to pass the word, and before Bai Qiyu entered the second door, he saw Qiu Ling and Xu Zhixing's mother and son coming out, and Qiu Ling knelt down at Bai Qiyu with teary eyes, "Miss, the slave can be regarded as seeing you!"

Bai Qiyu didn't like this rule, and deliberately said with a tiger face, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and even the rules around me have forgotten?"

Qiu Ling cried and laughed and called "Miss", and quickly wiped her tears and stood up, "Isn't it nice to see you, slave and maid, slave and maid have not forgotten the rules." ”
