Chapter 249: Showing Favor (3)
In the pavilion building, there is a small lake dug out by hand in the small courtyard in front of the pavilion, and dozens of large and small koi fish are raised in the crystal clear lake water.
Bai Qingting was basking in the sun by the small lake, reclining on the concubine's bed, letting the interlocking and warm and energetic sunlight of the afternoon penetrate every part of her body like a silk thread.
There was no wind or snow, and it was a sunny and sunny afternoon.
In such a comfortable afternoon, she half listened to the rumors that Xiao Qi heard from outside about Bai Hongjuan and Li, and half looked at the red carp that swam to the lake.
They are large and small in groups, one will chase each other and play, and then see a slender fish, and the little girl in the pavilion is raised to be fat and tender The big red carp suddenly flew and jumped, and it was actually in front of her to play a good show of "the sky is high and the bird flies, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps".
Unfortunately, she is not a sea, just a small lake.
On the surface of the small lake, there are no birds flying in the sky, only the nostalgia for the braised carp and red carp porridge made by Aunt Wu is aroused by this scene, and it is a real foodie.
She's drooling!
After enduring it for a long time, Bai Qingting pointed to the little red carp that swam in front of her and had a lot of fun, and it seemed that they were deliberately showing off to her, she grinded her teeth lightly and said:
"It's so arrogant! Little Er, go get me a fishing rod! See if I don't boil them! ”
Just as she was talking about how the three aunts and six mothers-in-law outside criticized Li Xiaosheng with righteous indignation, and how Xiao Qi, who was upset for Bai Hongjuan, was suddenly choked by Bai Qingting.
It's like you're eating black beans. Then a guy suddenly came up to you and said, "That's sheep bleating", and I got stuck in my throat and couldn't swallow or spit it out.
Xiao Qi wanted to say: Girl, I'm talking about business, you didn't listen to the complete information I spent a few hours collecting, how could you still hear that the braised carp has gone!
Xiao Er was used to Bai Qingting being very reliable when he was reliable, and very unreliable when he was unreliable, so she responded lightly and calmly went to find a fishing rod.
When he came back, Xiao Qi had finally finished talking about the rumors outside, and Bai Qingting was commenting:
"This third aunt is very reasonable. These six women are also an old-fashioned and warm-hearted. ”
He said strangely: "Why don't you have four feet and five dukes?" What do they think of the big girl and the separation? ”
Xiao Er approached with a fishing rod made of thin bamboo. In her other hand, she also held a small fish, which was made of rattan and was newly clustered, and it seemed that it was the first time that she had carried out the great task of loading fish.
Put the rod and the fish down. Xiao Er thought in his heart. What is four feet and five males?
Seeing this, Bai Qingting hurriedly got up from the chaise longue. Xing hurriedly took the fishing rod and stood on the edge of the small lake, just wanted to play the fishing rod to show his skills, and found a very important problem:
"Little two. What about bait? ”
She is not Mrs. Jiang, where can she fish with a straight hook, and the wisher will take the bait!
Xiao Er replied: "Ma's mother went to the outer courtyard to find two little girls, and went to the small garden of the front yard together, saying that there were earthworms in the small garden of the entire Baifu. ”
When Bai Qingting heard that he had to wait before he could fish for the little red carp to come up and braise it, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and he didn't even have the strength to make a sound:
"How long will that take?"
Xiao Er replied: "Soon, Ma's mother said that the last time the fifth son's little girl was also dug in the small garden, she will definitely be able to dig it soon, saying that she will come back immediately." ”
Bai Qingting silently returned to the chaise longue and lay down on his side, thinking that Ma's mother was really so attentive to her, no matter how big or small, delicate and rude, she did it herself.
She was quite moved.
Looking back, Bai Qingting thought that Xiao Qi hadn't replied to her words yet, so he asked again:
"Xiao Qi, how did those four and five princes spread the matter of the eldest girl and the separation?"
Although Xiao Qi and Xiao San are generally a little smart, when the two of them encounter a smiling gentleman with a black belly like Jun Ziheng, and a weird person like Bai Qingting who doesn't play cards according to the rules from time to time, the two of them are confused most of the time.
That's it.
Xiao Qi was slightly stunned: "Girl, who are these four men and five princes?" ”
Listening to Xiao Qi's shameless question, Bai Qingting asked very seriously:
"The third aunt and the sixth wife know who it is, right?"
Xiao Qi nodded, I know, it's those women and Taoists outside who have nothing to do and love to listen to the wind and rain, but she still doesn't understand.
Xiao Er understands that she belongs to the type that can be explained at a glance.
Bai Qingting has always been very satisfied and relieved about Xiao Er's point, just imagine, if she is surrounded by a helper who can't explain everything, then she will have to hit her head into the tofu just thinking about it.
And for Xiao Qi, who can't make sense at the moment, Bai Qingting always feels that Xiao Qi is half a gentleman Heng person, and last time he sent her two delicate little dragonflies through Xiao Qi's hands, so she rarely has a little patience with Xiao Qi.
She continued to persuade Xiao Qi: "Zhang-to-aunt, father-in-law to mother-in-law, aunt and mother-in-law refer to those women outside, that is, it refers to women in general, so tell me, who are these father-in-law and father-in-law referring to?" ”
Xiao Qi reacted almost subconsciously: "Man? ”
Bai Qingting pursed his lips and snapped his fingers: "Bingo!" ”
Guessed right?
Xiao Qi was stunned, but she didn't stay stunned for long before she thought of another question.
Last time, she also heard the word that her girl Fang Jiang said, but she and Xiao Er didn't understand what it meant, and they didn't want to ask at that time, but this is the second time, she thought that she had to ask, so Xiao Qi asked shamelessly again:
"What does Ice Dog mean? Is it a puppy covered in ice? ”
Xiao Ertong looked at Bai Qingting, she also guessed like this, but she felt that it shouldn't be, where in this world is there a dog covered in ice?
"Poof-haha-ha-"
Bai Qingting couldn't help but burst out laughing, followed by a series of long laughs looking up to the sky.
Xiao Er was stunned, Xiao Qi was stunned, two by two looked at each other, and they all knew that they had guessed wrong, but if they guessed wrong, they guessed wrong, and their own girls didn't have to laugh so ...... That's an exaggeration, right?
She hadn't finished laughing, and she hadn't heard Xiao Qi say the broken words of the four zhang and five dukes, and a second-class maid came to her:
"Girl, big girl is here."
When Bai Qingting heard this, she slowly stopped laughing, and when the second-class maid Huan went down and led Bai Hongjuan and Yingyu's master and servant to the courtyard, she got up and greeted Bai Hongjuan:
"The eldest sister is bored, came to Yingting Tower to chat with me?"
Xiao Qi didn't care about any more ice dogs and four princes and five zhangs, she saw her own girl leading Bai Hongjuan's master and servant to sit down on the chaise longue by the lake, and walked into the pavilion with Xiao Er and moved out two braziers, both of which were placed at Bai Hongjuan's feet.
Bai Hongjuan held Bai Qingting's hard hand stove, and motioned to Yingyu to give her the ebony box she was holding in her hand, she opened it and said:
"Third sister, this is what my grandmother asked Mother Guan to send to my Chanjuan Building in the afternoon, tell me, what does grandmother mean by this?"
Bai Qingting looked at Bai Hongjuan's hand, and the ebony box contained a pair of valuable heads, pearl jade heads!
Looking at this delicate and ingenious workmanship, not only pearls, but also a lot of rubies, she only had two words in her heart-
Show goodwill! (To be continued.) )
