Bai Lu's sedan chair came out of the door of the long room, and took Aunt Duan to turn left and right into a quiet and uninhabited winding path.

Under the dark purple curtain, people's hearts can't suppress their anger and anxiety. The sedan bearer put down the sedan chair and turned to wait elsewhere. The maid lifted the sedan curtain, only to see Bai Lu's gloomy face glaring at the person in front of her, Aunt Duan immediately knelt on the ground, her eyes were dripping and thinking about how to defend herself, and the sweat on her back was like rain: "Madam, the slave is guilty!" ”

"How?" Bai Lushi hooked the corners of his mouth and sneered, and asked softly, "Did I wronged you?" Need you to make a living by selling out messages from the inner courtyard? ”

"No...... Madame treats slaves and maids very well, and it is the slaves and maids who are hungry for profit! But it's not been a year or two since the slave maid made a living, and no one has ever found out after so many years, who knows how the master mother found out......"

Looking at the person in front of him, Bai Lu only felt that she was extremely stupid, and he didn't know how he chose such a person to send to Zhuyuan back then. Seeing that the success fell short, Bai Lushi was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes to his hairline: "Even if you want to sell the news, you should ask who the other party is?" It's good for you to sell it to the prince of the Marquis of Baining Mansion impartially! It was you who sent yourself to Rong Changning! My more than 20 years of hard work have been ruined in your hands! ”

"The slave is guilty!"

"What's the use of conviction?!" Bai Lushi raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and let out a long sigh of relief: "Now that you have been kicked out, you can't go back...... I will think of another way to send people inside, but it's a pity that it has been more than 20 years of hard work! It's a pity that it's easy to get the trust of Nagafang! ”

“……”

Looking at the people on the ground, Bai Lushi rolled his eyes, suddenly faded his tone and changed his tone: "You are also unlucky to meet such a shrewd housewife." But I think this Rong Changning is also easy to talk to, smart is smart, but he lacks some skills to govern the family. ”

"Yes." Aunt Duan hurriedly echoed: "The matter of purchasing in the house is still in the hands of Yu Ya, and this time I have not punished the slaves and maids, and it is clear that I am selling your face to Mrs. and intends to be close to you." Thinking that this housewife also knows how to practice and knows how to gain a foothold in the Bai family. ”

Bai Lu's heart was a mess, and he didn't have the heart to listen to her compliment: "You go to the other courtyard to live first, and ask someone to send you back to your hometown tomorrow morning." Don't go back to the Imperial City in the future, if someone suddenly comes to your hometown to look for you, do you know what you should do? ”

"The slave knows."

Then Bai Lushi nodded, waved his hand and called the maid next to him, and the maid called the sedan chair man back again, lifted the sedan chair and left first.

Aunt Duan kept her head and didn't dare to say a word, and only slowly raised her eyes when she heard people walking away.

It seems that Bai Lu's family really doesn't care about himself anymore, and Aunt Duan also relaxed and followed.

……

In the past, Bai Chuxi seemed to have grown up in the General's Mansion every day, either handling official business or taking Jiang An to patrol the camp, and people always praised him for his diligence. But after getting married, this general is no longer the same person he used to be.

After pinching the official document in his hand and approving the last volume, he hurriedly threw the pen in his hand aside, as if it was so hot. ran out of the door in high spirits, took Jiang An and went straight to Honglongpu.

The people of Honglongpu saw that it was the owner and hurriedly rushed forward to greet him: "Master Hou is here?!" Want to choose some snacks and refreshments for your wife? ”

"Ahh Bai Chuxi grinned: "What did you do again?" ”

"Master Hou, wait, a new pot of chestnut candy will be released soon, you can bring it back to taste fresh for Madame." The little servant let Bai Chuxi inside: "Master Hou, take a look, our newly made boat lotus cake." Do you want to taste it? ”

Bai Chuxi glanced down, and the shortbread in the shape of a small boat was very interesting. Holding it in his hand and looking at it, it was only a finger long.

The little girl in the ear continued: "This is made of egg yolk with crispy puree, fried and dried and ground into powder, the taste is sweet, crispy and delicious, and the fragrance of the lips and teeth after chewing is the taste that Mrs. likes." The chestnut sugar is on the soft side, and it's good to change it to crispy refreshments once in a while. ”

Bai Chuxi didn't believe what others said, so he had to throw it in his mouth and eat it before he nodded, and pointed to the boat lotus crisp in his hand: "Then take some back." ”

"Huh! Okay. Candied fruit or something, do you want to pick up a few things? ”

"Pick up, pick the expensive one!"

"Done!"

Every time Bai Chuxi arrived at Honglong Shop, Jiang An teased him and said: Sooner or later, this shop will be eaten by Rong Changning until it closes.

And every time at this time, Bai Chuxi is that arrogant look: "Didn't I sell Honglongpu just to give it to my wife?" Otherwise, what do I want it for? Pointless! ”

And Jiang An and Liang Tao have long been accustomed to Bai Chuxi's long and short mouths all day long, as long as Rong Changning sees a little smile on his face, Bai Chuxi will be happy all day, and the people under his hands are also better.

So compared to releasing the monthly money, Jiang An was more eager to see Rong Changning's smiling face.

Back at the house, Bai Chuxi couldn't wait for a moment, jumped off the horse and ran inside. Before entering the bamboo garden, he shouted like a child who had just got something new: "Changning! Changning?! ”

Listening to the shouts of the people outside as if they were calling for a soul, those who didn't know thought it was a fire. Xiao Dong looked out of the window: "Mastermother, it's Master Hou who is back." "Beans Book City

"I hear you." Rong Changning covered the lid of the incense burner: "Shouting like a life, of course I heard it was him." ”

Then he slowly got up, put on his robe and went outside. As soon as he went out, Bai Chuxi stepped up the steps and took Rong Changning's hand and walked towards the house: "Let me tell you, it was a good time to go to Honglongpu today, and just arrived and there was just the right chestnut candy." Thinking that I can make you eat fresh, it's really about to break the whip! ”

After that, Rong Changning sat down on the side of the desk, and quickly put the food box on and opened it: "Look, it's still hot!" ”

Raising his eyes again, Rong Changning looked at himself with strange eyes, which made Bai Chuxi can't help but lift his heart: "What's the matter?" Did the people in the house upset you? ”

Seeing his nervous appearance, Rong Changning hurriedly shook his head: "I'm thinking, can that horse stand it?" ”

Bai Chuxi suddenly realized at this time, and laughed: "I'm exaggerating, just how far did I whip the horse?" The horse won't be any better! ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly waved his hand and called Xiaoqiu on the side: "Go and make tea for the master's mother." ”

Xiaoqiu Xiaodong glanced at each other and saluted: "Yes." ”

The two hurriedly ran out of the house as if they were fleeing, and in a blink of an eye, only Bai Chuxi and Rong Changning were left in the huge room, Bai Chuxi picked up the boat lotus cake and handed it to Rong Changning's mouth: "You taste it!" ”

Seeing Rong Changning take a bite, he hurriedly asked, "How does it taste?" If they don't like it, I won't ask them to do it! ”

"How can you be like this?" Rong Changning covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and finally swallowed the boat lotus crisp before continuing to say to Bai Chuxi: "Opening a shop is to take care of business, how can there be a reason why your family doesn't like to eat anything and don't do anything?" If you are the shopkeeper, I am afraid that you will lose nothing. ”

Seeing that Rong Changning was not an outsider at all at the moment, Bai Chuxi didn't want to be happy, and reached out to pick her cheek: "Fortunately, there is a lady here, otherwise I really can't get used to these things." ”

Then he took the opportunity to remove the crumbs that Rong Changning had eaten to his mouth, and heard her ask: "I took a look, why do we have so many fat powder shops?" There are also some gold, silver and jade shops? ”

"Ah......" Bai Chuxi thought for a while, and suddenly took out a flat box half the size of a palm from his arms and handed it to Rong Changning: "If you don't say it, I forgot it, you see." ”

"What?" Rong Changning opened it in his hand with a suspicious face, and before he reached his nose, there was a faint fragrance: "It's so fragrant." ”

"This is the incense box of southern Xinjiang tribute, last year's winter solstice palace banquet queen mother rewarded the princess of Jin. I heard that this mutton fat-like balm was applied to the wrist, and every gesture was full of this fragrance. I became friendly with the King of Jin, and cheekily begged him to go and ask his princess for a box. Do you like it or not? If you like, I'll get you more. ”

Rong Changning was playing with such a delicate gadget in his hand, and slowly put it on the table and tilted his head to look at Bai Chuxi: "Does Master Hou still have something to say?" ”

"What can I say?" Bai Chuxi looked at Rong Changning with a confused expression: "You don't like it?" ”

Rong Changning shook his head lightly, raised his hand and dragged his chin: "I just think that nothing to do is to be a traitor or a thief." ”

"Oh." Bai Chuxi lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "That...... Then I won't bring good things next time. ”

Rong Changning stretched out his hand and grabbed Bai Chuxi's face: "You dare?!" ”

Bai Chuxi took down the little hand that was pinched on his face and clenched it tightly in the palm of his hand: "How dare you?" In the future, tell me what you want to eat and want, and I'll bring it back to you. If you want to go out for a walk, wait for Hugh Mu and I will take you to the northern suburbs...... Speaking of the northern suburbs, the saint said that I must take you with me if I want the spring hunt. I also told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that the Crown Princess will definitely go when the time comes, and you will be able to see the eldest sister. ”

"Really?!" Rong Changning was really overjoyed, he hadn't seen the eldest sister since he got married: "I'm still worried that I won't have a chance to enter the palace to see the eldest sister." ”

"I'll choose a good horse for you when the time comes."

Rong Changning nodded, and couldn't help but clench Bai Chuxi's hand. Fortunately, in the past few days, he has been paying attention everywhere and taking good care of himself, so that he will not think much about the former Baining Hou Mansion.

It seems that the finger in his hand back then really pointed at the right person.

With nothing to do, he took her backyard fishing. He studied the book of soldiers, and she silently embroidered the fan on the side. When the night was quiet, the two went on a night tour with candles and went to the garden to admire the moon.

Rong Changning never remembered the time when Yue Chu'er went to the house a few days ago to make trouble.

At night, under the shadow of the lamp, the person lay down in his middle coat. Bai Chuxi saw that she had fallen asleep first, and tiptoed to lift the curtain. Just as he was about to turn off the lights, Rong Changning opened his eyes and turned his head to look at Bai Chuxi: "You're back?" ”

"Ah, I read to my grandmother, and she fell asleep. Am I getting louder? ”

Rong Changning sat up and shook his head, his black hair hanging down the side of his face on the red quilt: "No, I'm waiting for you." ”

"Wait for me?" Bai Chuxi sat aside and thought about it: "Then I'll come back early next time, and you can rest well." ”

was about to lie down, but saw Rong Changning shaking his head.
