Chapter 90: A Reluctant Invitation
"You don't have to take that little thing to heart." Qin Li smiled lightly and said.
After hearing this, Qinghe said helplessly:
"Miss, He Chang finally got his fame, and he could have come back to take office. can make Zhai Gongzi's cousin make such a fuss, he thinks that his dignity has been trampled on, and he only thinks about how to take revenge, where is he still in the mood to do things? …… When the servant thinks of them, she feels sorry for them. ”
After hearing this, Qin Li also thought in his heart that He Chang was indeed too unlucky.
If He Chang hadn't been favored by Zhai Gongzi's cousin, he would have sent someone to kidnap him and take him to a pigsty in the mountains and lock him up, and it would take ten days to pass him up. He Chang is afraid that he will all serve in the government.
It's a pity that He Chang met such a nasty person!
Now, He Chang has nothing to do at home. may have to wait until next year's Lantern Festival to see what kind of errand the people in the government will arrange for him.
Aunt Bai's mother and daughter, after being taken back by Zhai Gongzi, have not rented a suitable shop for the time being. It will no longer be able to open a pulp washing room, and there will be no income.
Aunt Bai originally planned to hold a wedding banquet for him and Bai Yunyao when He Chang came back from the capital. After He Chang came back, he was kidnapped and taken away, encountered some difficulties, and was in a bad mood.
In this case, Aunt Bai is not easy to mention the wedding for He Chang and Bai Yunyao.
in the bedroom.
Qin Li was thinking about what happened to Bai Yunyao and them in the past few days, and there were three knocks in his ears.
She stepped forward to open the door, only to see Ziqin standing at the door, holding a tray in her hand with a plate of osmanthus cakes. These days, I work in the pharmacy and when I get home, I can eat delicious pastries.
Just this morning, she ate mung bean cake.
At this moment, when he saw Ziqin coming with osmanthus cake, Qin Li smiled and said, "Come, Ziqin, come in and sit down, let's eat pastries together." ”
The osmanthus cake served on the dinner plate exudes a fragrant aroma, with pale yellow I, white and golden I. Just looking at it like this, Qin Li wanted to taste it.
With the pastries, she was willing to share them with Ziqin.
Zi Qin smiled slightly, walked into the room with a tray, put the pastries on the wooden table for Qin Li, and said:
"Miss, these pastries are made by Miss Yun'er herself, and they are brought to you to eat. Miss's kindness, the maid understands it. Miss, come and taste it, Miss Yun'er's craftsmanship has always been very good. ”
As soon as Qin Li heard that Bai Yunyao had come, he hurriedly asked, "Where is Miss Yun'er?" ”
"Miss, Miss Yun'er brought the pastry and left." When Zi Qin said this, he thought for a moment before he said:
"When Miss Yun'er mentioned Miss to her maidservant before, she stopped talking. The maid guessed that she might want to see the young lady, but she didn't say anything because she was there with the lady and the maidservant......
When Qin Li heard this, he didn't care about eating the pastries, so he hurriedly left the house with some silver taels and went to the Bai family to find Bai Yunyao.
Qinghe and Ziqin are not very relieved, because it is still snowing outside, and Mrs. Bai is very frugal at home on weekdays, and she is reluctant to spend money to buy charcoal to make a fire for heating.
Miss went to the Bai family to find Miss Yun'er, don't be cold.
Qinghe took the hand stove and quickly walked out of the door, wanting to catch up with Qin Li, so that she could take the hand stove to keep her warm. But when he ran out of the door, he didn't see Qin Li's figure at all.
I had to go back to the bedroom and say to Ziqin who was standing at the door: "Just run a little slower, alas." ”
Ziqin comforted Qinghe softly and said, "Madam Bai always has to burn firewood when cooking. The young lady went to their side, and she could go to the kitchen to talk to Miss Yun'er and get warmer. ”
Qinghe nodded slightly, "Yes." ”
At this time, Qin Li had already come to the hall of the Bai family, sitting on the back chair, chatting with Bai Yunyao.
In the hall of the Bai family, there is only one wooden table, eight chairs with backrest, and a coffee table. Apart from that, there is no other furniture.
The last time I came to the Bai family, Qin Li also saw a vase on the wooden table, with some bright plum blossoms inserted in it. But when she came here today, she didn't see the vase again, and when she sat in the living room, she didn't smell the fragrance of plum again.
Bai Yunyao sat in the living room, heard the wind coming from outside the house, and said with some concern: "It has been snowing lightly for several days in a row, and I don't know if it will be sunny before the twentieth day of the lunar month." ”
While speaking, Bai Yunyao moved the plate with pastries to Qin Li's side, so that Qin Li could eat the pastries.
Qin Li smiled at Bai Yunyao gratefully, first took a piece of pastry with chopsticks and gave it to Bai Yunyao, and then ate a small piece. In fact, Bai Yunyao didn't make many pastries, so she left five pieces on the dinner plate, and brought the rest to her.
Bai Yunyao may also know that she is at home and has pastries to eat. But Bai Yunyao is always like this, and will take out good items and share them with them.
She wanted to send some charcoal to Bai Yunyao and them to make a fire to keep warm, but she also knew that Bai Yunyao and they would not accept it, so she didn't send it.
Sitting in the hall at this moment, even though the door is closed, I still feel cold and sore feet. However, with his friend Bai Yunyao by his side, even if it is a little colder, it is nothing.
Although in recent days, she has often come to the Bai family to meet Bai Yunyao and them. But she rarely had the opportunity to sit in the hall of the Bai family and be alone with Bai Yunyao. In this way, it is inconvenient for her to ask if she has anything to say, and in the same way, Bai Yunyao is not easy to tell her.
Qin Li looked at Bai Yunyao's haggard face, thinking that only the two of them were in the hall, and there were some things that could be asked. Concern:
"Sister Yun'er, I don't think you look very good. Have you not been resting lately, or are you having something on your mind? ”
When Bai Yunyao heard this, she said truthfully: "Sister Li'er, I sent you pastries today, I actually want to meet you, please do me a favor." But I ......"
When she went to Qin's Mansion, she only saw Ziqin and Mrs. Qin, but not Qin Li. can only serve the pastries to Ziqin and ask Ziqin to help give them to Qin Li.
As for wanting to meet Qin Li, she didn't mention it.
Qin Li smiled knowingly and said, "Heh, Sister Yun'er, I was resting at home today, and I was going to come over to see you." But it didn't work out, you sent the pastries first. I didn't eat any pastries, so I'm coming to you. ”
As soon as she heard that Qin Li was resting today, Bai Yunyao breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"It's great that you're free today. That's right, Brother Chang'er told me, saying that he wanted to ask you to help save someone. ”
Qin Li looked stunned, "Who to save?" ”
Not long after He Chang came back, who would she let to save?
Bai Yunyao said truthfully: "The person that Brother Chang'er wants you to help save is the hunter who helped us find him last time, rescued him from the mountains of Yuexi County, and sent him home. ”
Qin Li understood that He Chang wanted Bai Yunyao to tell her and help him save his life-saving benefactor. As for the fact that the man had saved him, she had indeed heard them mention it before that.
She nodded slightly and said, "Yes." ”
"You also know that my mother and I have opened a shop over the years, and we have indeed saved some silver taels. But my mother didn't dare to spend money, because she had to save money......"
As soon as Bai Yunyao mentioned this, she quickly blushed with shame.
Qin Li understood that the silver taels saved by Aunt Bai were prepared for Bai Yunyao and He Chang. It costs money to buy them furniture and hold a wedding.
Of course, I was reluctant to spend a penny.
