Chapter 25: Missing
After a busy day, it was not until half an hour before dinner that a part of agarwood, sandalwood, and rui incense were simply extracted from essential oils, although it did not reach the ideal quality of Bai Qiyu, but in this era, it was not bad in the end. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As soon as they were cleaned up, Bai Jiuxiang and Bai Liuyun came to visit the door one after another.
"How can it be so coincidental today?, Ninth Sister is also there?" Bai Liuyun smiled and glanced at Bai Jiuxiang sitting on the kang.
Bai Jiuxiang got up and saluted, "Sixth Sister is here rarely, and I don't know that I often come to Seventh Sister? If it weren't for the fear of disturbing Seventh Sister's incense making, I would like to move in with Seventh Sister." ”
"You guys have ......a good relationship," Bai Liuyun raised her eyebrows with a smile.
Bai Qiyu ordered Qiu Shui to have refreshments, and then he simply freshened up and sat down on the kang for a long time, and said with a smile, "I'm done just now, so I'll keep you waiting." ”
"The seventh sister has always been a busy person, and even her mother has always tolerated this matter, what does it matter if we wait. ”
Bai Jiuxiang pursed her lips secretly, turned to Bai Qiyu and called "Seventh Sister" affectionately, "I originally wanted to come in the afternoon, but it happened that Mother Wang went over to send spring clothes, saying that Seventh Sister was busy making incense, so I would come over later." ”
"You can come whenever you want in the future, anyway, it won't interfere with my incense making. Bai Qiyu smiled kindly.
Bai Liuyun looked at the end and said in a sour tone, "I don't know what kind of spring clothes my mother made for my seventh sister......?
This is also a brainless person, what else can he do besides competing for favor? Bai Qiyu scolded secretly in his heart, even treating his own sister like this, and thinking that how majestic he was, it was not a joke in the eyes of others.
"Mother treats everyone equally, and the spring clothes of the sisters are naturally the same...... Since the sixth sister wants to see it, the younger sister naturally doesn't mind. Then he called Qiuling, "Go and bring the clothes sent by Wang's mother in the morning to the sixth sister to see." ”
Qiu Ling went to the room to get the clothes, and Bai Jiuxiang said happily, "My spring clothes are goose yellow, blue, red, and a bright pink placket with a small jacket with moire yarn skirt......"
Bai Qiyu said, "Mother's vision is excellent, these colors are suitable for you." ”
Qiu Ling brought a few clothes, put them on the kang table, and retreated to Bai Qiyu to stand.
Bai Liuyun lifted her clothes and looked at them, Bai Jiuxiang looked at the unfolded skirt, and said in surprise, "Seventh sister, your body is really beautiful, much better than mine, mine is too childish." ”
Bai Qiyu smiled, "You are originally a child, of course you have to wear clothes of the right age." ”
Bai Liuyun's eyes flashed with a hint of jealousy, "Mother really loves you, we don't have any material for this genius, and this style, I'm afraid it's also the latest style." ”
"Sixth sister is really good at laughing, when has my mother ever been partial? Didn't she just give you a set of excellent heads?" Bai Qiyu naturally wouldn't be jealous with her, but just said it to remind her that she also had a unique thing, lest her jealousy become heavier and heavier, and give birth to some unnecessary rights and wrongs.
Bai Liuyun chuckled casually, "Are you getting smarter and sleeker, not as well-behaved as before......" didn't say anything more radically, just pulled those clothes and looked at them casually.
Bai Jiuxiang looked at the fresh and elegant clothes and said, "Seventh sister, I got a green jade hairpin carved with a flat head before, the appearance is simple and generous, I think you must look good when you wear it, I will find it for you to bring it to you when I go back." ”
"Xiao Jiu has a heart...... Bai Qiyu touched Bai Jiuxiang's head and smiled.
Bai Jiuxiang just wanted to say something, and suddenly there was a "clang" sound, and the blue and white porcelain tea cup in Bai Liuyun's hand fell on the kang table and shattered, and the tea soup splashed all over the kang, especially the few clothes on the kang, most of which were soaked in brown tea stains in the tea soup......
Bai Liuyun suddenly exclaimed, "I didn't mean to...... Seventh sister, I really didn't mean it, but the teacup slipped a little...... I'm ......."
Once such a very fine material is stained with tea stains, it is not easy to clean off, that is, it is clean, but this is a new garment, and it is ...... before it is worn It's not a good thing after all, the people here are very particular about these, Bai Qiyu doesn't care about it, because in the previous life, when he bought new clothes, he had to wash them before he wore them, but at this time, when he saw that the skirt with a novel style was dirty and thorough, he suddenly felt happy in his heart...... That's a good excuse......
Immediately said indifferently, "It's okay, maybe the tea is a little hot...... Qiushui, clean up the kang table, Qiuling, take your clothes and wash them......"
asked Bai Liuyun and Bai Jiuxiang to go to the wing room to sit, but Bai Liuyun excused herself, "I'm really sorry to make trouble for the seventh sister this time, I'll go back first......"
Bai Qiyu smiled slightly, and didn't bother to keep her, so he called Qiu Ju to send her out.
Bai Jiuxiang was dissatisfied, "At first glance, it is deliberate, the sixth sister has always been cautious, she must have been jealous of your good clothes and deliberately soiled!"
Is it intentional or not, anyway, it can't have any impact on Bai Qiyu, if Mrs. will not like it, it is not for her, but I think Mrs. is happy to see this situation of fighting with each other and not getting along......
"Forget it, it's not a big deal, everyone has a time when they are not careful, just wash their clothes. ”
Bai Jiuxiang said hurriedly, "Oh, Seventh Sister, do you really not know or are you not worried at all? You don't know that Tianfang's materials are not only precious, but also can't be washed clean if they are stained with tea! What can I do now? If my mother knows about it, I will definitely be scolded!"
Bai Qiyu was stunned for a moment, can't she wash it off? Although I don't know what Mrs. Bai meant by preparing such a brilliant dress for her alone, but it must not be a good intention, and it doesn't hurt if it gets dirty, anyway, she doesn't have much interest in these clothes...... Just in time, you can also see Madame Bai's reaction.
Then he frowned and said, "Can't you wash it clean? What should I do? Forget it, let's see Qiu Ling wash it first, anyway, there are still a few days to go to the capital...... Don't let my mother know, lest I be scolded. Bai Qiyu said and winked at Bai Jiuxiang again.
Bai Jiuxiang couldn't help but smile and said, "Seventh sister, it turns out that you are also afraid of being scolded!"
And Bai Liuyun looked happy when she left the courtyard gate, Bihe smiled, "Miss, you are smart, Miss Seventh has never seen Tianfang, I don't know if Tianfang can't be stained with tea stains......"
"What do you know, this is just a small punishment, seeing that she still dares to be proud, and wants to steal the limelight from me? Hmph! What about making incense? It's not as brainless as before. ”
Bihe laughed with her, and finally stopped talking.
"Let's go, since you're out, let's go to the fourth sister. ”

"Wen Ying, go and call Mother Wu and Steward Zhou. "Mother Wu is in charge of the daily turnover of the house, and Steward Zhou is in charge of the entry and exit of several Zhuangzi, and the two of them, like Mother Wang, are the most powerful by Mrs. Bai's side.
Mother Wang had a plan in her heart, "Do you want to leave the affairs of the house to them?" Mother Wu is in charge of the inner courtyard, and Steward Zhou is in charge of the outer courtyard...... We're going to be going to be there for months......"
Madame Bai nodded, "I've thought about what you said, the fourth and sixth and seventh are all following us, and the house is also the fifth and the eighth, and the nine are much simpler, let them watch the arrangement, isn't there your nephew Donghai helping, you also explain what you have under your jurisdiction, and it will only take three or five months, what can be the problem." ”
Mother Wang nodded, "It's the slave who is too worried." ”
"Besides, those few are also silent, even if they have this opportunity, what can they do?" Madame Bai sneered, "I still want to go to Tongzhou with the master, I would rather give him a new concubine, I just want them to stay in Baifu well!"
Mother Wang's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, as soon as she left this time, there were only three young ladies and four aunts in the house, what could she do...... In the end, Madame still has a lot of resentment in her heart, but this resentment is never to the master, but all transferred to a few aunts......
Thinking of this, Mother Wang couldn't help but secretly rejoice that she had fortunately not asked her wife to make a child for her master, otherwise how could she still stand here at this time......
When Mother Wu and Steward Zhou came, Mrs. Bai said with a kind face, "Sit down, while you are still idle today, I will first learn about the situation in the house during and outside the year......
What Mother Wu said is nothing more than some daily expenses, and the amount of food and clothing up and down the house is no different from previous years, but Mrs. Bai frowned slightly when she heard it, "Why is it so much?" The cost of food and clothing is too great, you look at it a little more restrained, and those who are independent and detached are all small stoves, but there must be a limit...... In addition, the harvest on this village is not as good as in previous years, but the cost has increased a lot...... What's going on here?"
Mother Wu wiped her forehead again and again after hearing this, and responded, "Yes, madam, don't worry, the slave maid will go down and check carefully......
Mother Wang sighed secretly in her heart, although she didn't know what was wrong with Baifu's business, she had never seen Mrs. care so much about these details, and even limited her daily expenses...... Doesn't Baifu have so much business? Why does this silver seem to be decreasing instead of increasing?
Immediately, I heard Steward Zhou talk about some things in the outer courtyard, and then said, "Before the master left, he temporarily allocated 50,000 taels of silver by his side......
Madam Bai's face was even more ugly, but she didn't have a seizure in the end, she only waved her hand and said, "Let's arrange according to what I said first......
As soon as the two of them left, Madame Bai couldn't help but scold, "Look, he looks like a man who lacks silver? Who knows where he raised the little one! I don't think I should have brought too much silver to see Shuang'er, but I actually took the silver first and went to live happily......"
"Madam, it's not that you don't know the temperament of the master, in the end, it's still the Gu family," Wang's mother persuaded, "Isn't it for business to go to Tongzhou this time, maybe it's because of the lack of money in business......"
Mrs. Bai complained for a while, but even if it was, she sent someone to call Wang's mother's nephew Liu Donghai to explain carefully.
