Chapter 22: Temptation

Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm so busy today that my mother doesn't recognize it, I owe a change first, and I will make up for it tomorrow, and I'll bow to Xiaowei!

In the hibiscus garden, Bai Qiyu took a sip of tea, looked at Aunt Lan, who was sitting quietly opposite and her eyebrows were not moving, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, this is the first time I have come to Aunt Auntie's place to drink tea."

Aunt Lan straightened the trim of the navy blue placket with Buddha beads with her right hand, and said lightly, "You two are also smart......

The implication is that the two of them did not come to please Mrs. Bai.

Bai Qiyu smiled disappreciably, "Auntie is really generous...... No wonder Madame has always been partial to ......"

Seeing that Aunt Lan still looked steady, she said, "I came here today, first, to see my aunt, and second, I want to ask my aunt for advice--other sisters have their own aunts to guide and help with it...... The old lady has a big birthday, and the aunt must know the mother's arrangement, so the aunt thinks that the capital is better, or is this Linfeng City better?

The subtext is that it is better to be the son of the Shunping Mansion or the second son of the Wei family.

Aunt Lan pretended to be confused and replied, "The capital is an imperial city, and the prosperity and liveliness are incomparable......

After a pause, he said, "This Linfeng City has your home, and of course it is irreplaceable....... In the final analysis, a woman's family is a grass seed life, and if it falls in a good place, it will grow well, and if it falls in a bad place, it will not grow well. ”

Bai Qiyu only looked at her and smiled, "Aunt can see it clearly, much more transparent than that Aunt Xia who can't think of looking for death......"

Aunt Lan's eyebrows drooped slightly, but Bai Qiyu still didn't miss the fluctuation that flashed in those eyes.

continued, "It's funny to say, the last time I met Aunt Wu at Xiao Jiu's place, she suddenly muttered when she looked at me, 'It's really getting more and more beautiful, it's not like Yunqing (Aunt Lan's name)...... When I think about it, it's the same thing, I'm more like my father, and I really don't have anything like my aunt......"

Having said that, it was very clear that it was the most important secret of the year, and Bai Qiyu was looking forward to her reaction.

When Aunt Lan heard this, she raised her eyes and glanced at her, and said coldly with an inquiring look in her eyes, "Isn't this also true? Isn't it that Mrs. is too generous, and everyone in the house is used to being lazy and has nothing to say?"

Good hand Tai Chi......

Bai Qiyu smiled, "Auntie thinks too much, Aunt Wu just said it casually, what's more, this is also the truth -- I really don't have any similarities with my sixth sister and my aunt in appearance." ”

Aunt Lan looked at her carefully for a long time, as if she was inquiring, as if she was thinking, she lowered her eyebrows for a long time, and then slowly said, "It's better to be cautious when you go to the capital, don't be blinded by Ronghua." ”

Although the words were so subtle, Bai Qiyu finally heard the answer he wanted, and nodded with a little excitement at the moment, "Thank you aunt for the warning, Xiao Qi must remember it." ”

When Qiu Shui under the porch of the door saw her come out, she looked relaxed and happy, and she knew that things were going well.

"Miss. Qiushui called her happily.

Bai Qiyu showed a reassuring look and said with a smile, "It's freezing, let's go back quickly." ”

"It's not cold, isn't there a hand stove for you, Miss. Qiushui smiled and patted the hand stove in his arms, and handed it to Bai Qiyu.

Bai Qiyu didn't reach out to pick it up, "You take it first, I'm not cold." ”

That is to say, in fact, it is also for the good of Qiushui, this weather, standing outside the corridor for so long, it is strange that it is not cold, Qiushui naturally knows Bai Qiyu's thoughts, and his heart is full of emotion at the moment, he nodded in response with the hand stove, and quickly followed Bai Qiyu's steps.

When I passed by the flower stand in the garden, I came to Aunt Yang and two maids.

Seeing that it was Bai Qiyu, Aunt Yang said with a smile, "Miss Seven, where are you busy?" Then she glanced at the direction behind Bai Qiyu, and said, "But you went to see Aunt Lan......?"

As soon as Bai Qiyu heard her pretending to be enchanting voice, he suddenly felt unappetizing, and only replied lightly at the moment, "I heard that my aunt likes Changming incense, so I will send her some seeds to use, is it better than the incense outside." ”

"Yes, she is also a devout Buddha...... Aunt Yang replied with a smile.

Bai Qiyu ignored it, only nodded lightly and continued to leave.

After walking a short distance, Aunt Yang's disdainful voice faintly came from behind her, "Look at that heat......?

Qiushui glanced at Bai Qiyu worriedly, and saw that her face was indifferent, as if she hadn't heard it, but she was a little relieved......

To say that Bai Qiyu didn't hear it, of course it couldn't be, but he was just too lazy to pay attention to it, whether he was born or not already knew it, why bother with these people's gossip, he was not happy.

When I went back, Qiu Ju and Yao's mother were taking care of the residual snow in the courtyard, and Qiu Ling greeted her and said, "Miss, you are back, not long after you went out, Miss Nine came to look for you, and when she saw that you were not there, she went back." ”

"But what's the matter?" Bai Qiyu untied his cloak and handed it to her.

"It was said that the eldest lady of the Li family came to visit, but she didn't stay for a while and left in a hurry, and the eldest young grandmother had something to bring to you, and Miss Nine said that she would come to you later. Qiu Ling said as she went to pour hot tea and brought it over.

Bai Qiyu nodded, "Why don't you go and invite Xiao Jiu over to have dinner together." ”

Qiu Ling responded.

Qiu Shui then said, "Miss, have you figured out that matter?"

"It's so fast," Bai Qiyu glanced at her and smiled, "You're more anxious than me." ”

Qiushui said angrily, "Isn't the slave also worried?" ”

Bai Qiyu smiled, "Although I didn't say it myself, I also got what I wanted to know." ”

In the face of such an obvious temptation, Aunt Lan had no way to avoid it, but she was also smart and did not respond positively, but just put on her attitude and stated her position.

Bai Qiyu found out her calmness and calmness from her obscure words, calm and unashamed.

Only from this, Bai Qiyu knew that Aunt Xia's matter was related to her, but she should not have harmed her, so she was so calm. Although this is clear, it is still far from the truth of the matter, and it seems that it will take some more thought.

Qiushui hesitated, "Aunt Nalan......"

"It's about her, but she seems to be cleaner...... Let's talk about this later, don't worry, with Miss Ben here, these are not problems. Bai Qiyu said with a playful smile, and Qiu Shui and Qiu Ling were also a lot more relieved.

"By the way, Qiu Ling, didn't you go out to see the shop in the morning?

Qiu Ling quipped, "Miss, you can just be a hands-off shopkeeper, and you still have to worry about this?"

Bai Qiyu pretended to look at her and nodded, "Well, the complexion is very good, the mood is good, it seems that the inspection results are quite good!"

Laughing, Qiu Ling said, "It's still Miss, what you said is right, Xu Zhixing and Aunt Xu are really capable, the two of them have a very good little shop, clean inside and out, and the goods are also placed according to your requirements, Miss, although I haven't made any money yet, but I have already started to have a business, and if it goes on like this, it will definitely get better and better!"

There is joy between his eyebrows and eyes, and he looks full of confidence.

Bai Qiyu smiled, these were all in her expectation, but it was not a surprise, she only nodded, "Our Qiuling is also very capable, and she is also a little shopkeeper!"

The two talked about the things in the shop, and not long after, Qiushui replied that Miss Nine was here, and Bai Qiyu stopped the topic.

"Seventh sister, where have you been, why did you come back?"

Before the person could enter the door, the sound had already entered the house through the curtain.

Bai Qiyu teased, "Why do you still look like you're babbling, didn't I send someone to invite you as soon as I came back." ”

Bai Jiuxiang entered the house and sat down next to Bai Qiyu with a smile, "I came to you in the morning, Sister Qiu Ju said that you went out, and she didn't say where you went, but you still have to hide it from me?"

"It's just to send some Changming incense to Aunt Lan, why don't I hide it from you!" Bai Qiyu patted her head, "What is the matter with you coming to me?"

Bai Jiuxiang sat down on the kang at this time, and became a little serious, "Seventh sister, Xin'er came here early in the morning, saying that their family was going to the capital the day after tomorrow, and they didn't know if they would come back in the future, so they came to see me before leaving...... There is also Xin'er's sister-in-law, who said that her mother likes your fragrance very much, I hope you can take the time to prepare some and have the opportunity to give it to her......"

Bai Qiyu understood that Xu Suxin was telling her vaguely that when she went to the capital, with the strength of the Xu family, it would not be a problem to get a shop at all. That's fine, and she's a lot more relieved.

"Well, I'll have some more...... But you, why do you look depressed when you talk about it?"

Bai Jiuxiang's face wrinkled, "Xin'er went to the capital, and it will be difficult to see her in the future...... After a while, you have to leave, so how boring I should be!"

"What should I do!" Bai Qiyu smiled, "If you are bored, you can embroider, read books, practice calligraphy, the best time to pass the time, besides, we will be back in a few months at most." ”

Bai Jiuxiang still looked depressed, so Bai Qiyu told her jokes, searched her brains and brought out some jokes she knew in her previous life, and told them after simple modifications, which immediately made Bai Jiuxiang laugh.

In the end, it is the heart of a child, Bai Qiyu smiled helplessly and shook his head.

Qiushui on the side couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss is really weird, she told so many jokes, and I don't know where I knew it!"

Bai Jiuxiang also shouted, "Yes, yes, where did Seventh Sister know so many funny things?"

How do you answer this? Could it be that you heard it in your previous life? Bai Qiyu was helpless for a while, so he had to say vaguely, "Zuo is just an idle book that knows a lot about this." ”

"Haha, that's interesting! I'm going to listen to it!"

said casually, but people who listened to him did not suspect him, so naturally they would not ask.

After dinner, Bai Jiuxiang was sent away, Bai Qiyu and Qiushui Qiuling sat on the kang together to mix the fragrance, and not long after, Qiu Ju came to say that the tea fragrance around Aunt Lan came.
