As the night darkens, the guests disperse.

The small courtyard, which had been noisy all day, finally quieted down slowly.

Mo Dye intimately called hot water and asked Bai Yanqing to wash and go to bed. Bai Yanqing took the hot handkerchief handed over by Mo Dye, and carefully wiped the back of his palm and back of his hand.

"What about Your Highness?"

Bai Yanqing turned around and asked Yuan Quinoa.

"Your Highness and my brother have just left."

Yuan Quinoa replied honestly.

"Alas, it's hard for him!"

It's late at night now, Yun Qi and them, rush back to the Great Prince's Mansion at this hour, I'm afraid that they won't be able to rest for a few hours, so they will enter the palace to say goodbye, right?

"For the sake of the White Maiden, His Highness thinks it is worth it."

Yuan Quinoa followed behind Yun Qi, not for a day or two, although he didn't know much about Yun Qi, but Yun Qi's intentions for Bai Yanqing were well known.

"Miss, are you going to bed now?"

Mo Ran picked up the basin of water and walked out, turning back to talk to Bai Yanqing.

"Don't worry, there will be guests later."

Bai Yanqing's words, the ink dye and Yuan Quinoa were confused.

And guests? It's time to come, aren't they all coming? Who else can come to this remote countryside under the dark wind of this night?

Bai Yanqing smiled and continued to instruct Mo Ran: "Mo Ran, go and prepare some tea and pastries." The tea should be brought by His Royal Highness, Wuyi Rock Tea. Rinse and pour out the first time with hot water, and take the tea from the second time. Remember to prepare some dim sum, it's not sweet and greasy, and the crab roe crisp brought by the little aunt is very good. You go to the heat, remember, never steam! Bake over low heat, otherwise it won't be crispy enough. ”

"White girl, what the hell ...... Who's coming? ”

Yuan Quinoa asked with some curiosity.

Bai Yanqing actually had to tell the tea and snacks so carefully, so presumably, the person who came must have a great background!

"Yuan Quinoa, you go to the gate of the courtyard to keep an eye on, if you see someone approaching, you can come back quickly and tell me!"

Bai Yanqing did not answer Yuan Quinoa directly, but only asked her to keep an eye on the gate of the courtyard.

Yuan Quinoa was ordered to retreat.

The night wind outside blew the faces of the people who blew cold. It's just that Yuan Quinoa has long been used to it. No matter the cold winter wax moon, or the hot summer, there is nothing she has not experienced.

Yuan Quinoa raised his hand, rubbed it, rubbed his palm hot, and covered his face. The warmth of the palm warms the cheeks. Yuan Quinoa sniffed his nose: It's so cold!

I really don't know what kind of person is worthy of Bai Yanqing's hospitality on such a cold night!

Yuan Quinoa was guarding the gate of the courtyard, a little bored, she leaned against the door frame, and kicked the stones by the door in boredom.

A night breeze blew, mixed with a strange smell.

Yuan Quinoa stepped forward violently, and subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to pull out the saber at his waist.

"Yuan Quinoa! Stop, it's your own people! ”

At that time, Bai Yanqing couldn't wait for anyone to come for a long time, so he ran out a little anxiously. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw that Yuan Quinoa was on alert!

"Your own people?"

Yuan Quinoa was stunned for a moment, and her hand with the sword was drawn and hesitated slightly.

Before the person arrived, why did Bai Yanqing confirm it so much, and the person who came was not an enemy?

Bai Yanqing stepped forward, gently pressed Yuan Quino's hand to draw his sword, and then shook his head at her. Yuan Quinoa was stunned, and bowed down and retreated behind Bai Yanqing.

"Let's sit in the house! It's windy at night, so don't freeze. ”

Bai Yanqing said such a sentence to the dark night, with unknown meaning. If you were someone else, you must have thought that she was talking to Yuan Quinoa!

After saying that, Bai Yanqing walked towards the house by himself, and when Yuan Quinoa saw this, although he had doubts in his heart, he still raised his heel! Yuan Quinoa's task is to protect Bai Yanqing, now, the enemy is in the dark, she is in the light, no matter whether the person who comes is friend or foe, she does not dare to take the risk, let Bai Yanqing meet with outsiders alone!

"Go and call the ink dye, let her serve tea!"

Walking to the door of the house, Bai Yanqing suddenly stopped, and then spoke leisurely and commanded Yuan Quinoa.

"But...... White girl, your subordinates' mission is to protect you! Now ......"

Yuan Quinoa was still not worried that Bai Yanqing would enter the house alone, and hurriedly spoke.

"It's okay, you go and call the ink dye!"

Bai Yanqing still insisted. Yuan Quinoa had no choice but to raise his feet and run to the kitchen. At this moment, what Yuan Quinoa thought in her heart was to go and return quickly, lest Bai Yanqing really encounter danger, and she would not have time to save Bai Yanqing herself!

"Brother Jing, you're here, what are you doing hiding your head and brain?"

After Bai Yanqing entered the house, he called out with a smile to the empty room.

After a while, I saw Ji Nanjing, who walked out from behind the screen!

"You girl, you're very weird, how do you know I'm here?"

Ji Nanjing strode to Bai Yanqing's side, and then sat down with a big bang.

"Get out of the way! This is the upper seat, reserved for my grandfather to sit on! ”

Bai Yanqing grabbed Ji Nanjing's back collar and insisted that he would not sit there.

"What grandfather? There is no grandfather here, only your good brother and me! ”

Ji Nanjing's eyes flashed, and then he stiffened his mouth and said a little unconvinced.

Bai Yanqing didn't pay attention to him, only looked at the screen, and said again: "Grandfather, come and take care of Brother Jing, he is becoming more and more unruly now!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a man with a heroic posture and a tall figure like a pine, taking big steps, crossing the screen, and walking towards Bai Yanqing!

"Grandfather!"

The moment he saw the man, Bai Yanqing pounced happily!

That's right, this older man is Bai Yanqing's maternal grandfather, Ji Nanjing's grandfather, and General Ji Zhengji!

General Ji looked at the girl who threw herself in his arms, and his face was full of wrinkles with a smile! He couldn't help but raise his hand and gently stroked Bai Yanqing's head, between his eyebrows and eyes, there was joy that couldn't be hidden!

"Qing'er has grown up! My grandfather is old, too! ”

General Ji looked at Bai Yanqing, who was lying coquettish in his arms, and couldn't help but sigh at the moment!

"Where is my grandfather old? My grandfather is heroic! The heroism of the year is not diminished! Whoever dares to say that you are old, Qing'er will find someone to go desperately! ”

Bai Yanqing took General Ji's arm and said coquettishly. Only in front of General Ji Lao will Bai Yanqing reveal such a delicate little daughter's family!

"Okay, okay, in your eyes, there is only your grandfather, you can't see me, a good brother who is hungry, isn't it?"

Ji Nanjing pouted, a little dissatisfied.

Because he was worried about the bumps in the road, his grandfather's body would be unbearable. Therefore, Ji Nanjing deliberately accompanied his old man in the carriage, the carriage was slower, isn't it? He had traveled with his grandfather for most of the day to get here, and now he was hungry!

"Hungry, starving won't kill you!"

General Ji glared at Ji Nanjing, which was different from the way he looked at Bai Yanqing before, at this moment, General Ji's eyes when he looked at Ji Nanjing were full of sternness!

Seeing this, Ji Nanjing pouted, a little aggrieved! I thought to myself, this old man is really crossing the river and demolishing the bridge!

"My grandfather has been on the road for a few hours, and he must be hungry, so Qing'er has already asked people to prepare food!"

Bai Yanqing said that, and ran to the door to see if the ink dye had come! As soon as I went out, I saw the ink dye coming to eat! Bai Yanqing didn't care about it, hurriedly took the tray in Mo Ran's hand, turned around and walked towards the house! Leave behind a sluggish face of ink dye and quinoa!

How important is it that makes Bai Yanqing so anxious?

The two of them, Mo Ran and Yuan Quinoa, looked at each other!

Bai Yanqing cautiously put the things on the tray on the table, and then as if inviting merit, the old general opened his mouth and said: "I know that my grandfather is coming today, Qing'er specially asked someone to prepare it for you, I don't know if it suits your appetite!" ”

"How did you know grandfather was coming today?"

Ji Nanjing was a little puzzled, obviously he had never revealed it to Bai Yanqing. How could Bai Yanqing know that General Ji would come today?

"Because...... I'm smart! ”

Bai Yanqing grimaced at Ji Nanjing, and then helped General Ji to sit down.

"Grandfather, this is crab roe cake, which is made by Qing'er's little aunt! The crab roe here is all made of the freshest live crab roe! It's fresh! Try it! ”

Bai Yanqing didn't bother to greet Ji Nanjing, she was so busy that she picked out the biggest piece of crab roe cake and handed it to General Ji's eyes, asking him to taste it first!

General Ji took the crab roe crisp with a smile and took a bite gently, it was salty and fragrant, crispy and slaggy, it was indeed a rare delicacy!

"How?"

Bai Yanqing stared at General Ji nervously, for fear that he would not like to eat.

"Not bad, not bad! It's delicious! ”

General Ji's brows stretched, his eyes were full of love, seeing him like this, Bai Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief! She's afraid, her grandfather doesn't like it!

"Grandfather, this tea, you drink it, can you still drink it?"

Bai Yanqing poured the tea again and handed it to General Ji. Seeing this, General Ji hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it.

"The brown color is oily, the tea fragrance is rich, and there is a faint fragrance of flowers. The entrance is sweet, the tip of the tongue is sweet, and it will not disperse for a long time. It's the best Wuyi rock tea! ”

General Ji took a sip of tea soup and couldn't help but praise!

"It's worthy of my grandfather, you can drink it!"

Bai Yanqing praised with a smile, and then raised his hand again and filled a cup of tea for General Ji.

"This is the second time of tea, the tea flavor is neither too strong, nor too light, with this crab roe crisp, just to relieve greasy! It's hard for Qing'er to bother so much! ”

Old General Ji couldn't help but open his mouth and praised Bai Yanqing. He could see that what Bai Yanqing had prepared had been carefully considered.

"You can't drink too much if it's good! This tea, if you drink too much, you will feel less! If your grandfather likes it, Qing'er will ask you to pack more tea and take it home! ”

Bai Yanqing held down the teapot and didn't let General Ji drink any more, although this tea is good, but if you drink too much, you can't sleep, it's also true!

"Hey, just your two ancestors and grandchildren, my grandson seems to have picked it up!"

Ji Nanjing pretended to wipe his eyes aggrievedly, and others looked at him as if he was shedding tears!

Bai Yanqing didn't bother to pay attention to him, she finally saw her grandfather once, where was she willing to talk nonsense with Ji Nanjing?

……

Outside the house, Yuan quinoa and ink dye, silently guarded the door. The people in the room, although they deliberately lowered their voices, they could still hear and understand! It turned out that the person Bai Yanqing had been waiting for all night was actually General Ji! No wonder she has to be so cautious and meticulous!

The wind in the middle of the night blows on people's bodies, and it is cold to the bone. Even through the thick clothes, it is difficult to hide the overwhelming cold.

"Qing'er, go back! It's cold outside, get inside! ”

Old General Ji waved his hand at Bai Yanqing and motioned for her to enter the house, but Bai Yanqing shook his head stubbornly and refused to leave.

After all, it was still time to separate, and the dark night couldn't hide Bai Yanqing's reluctance.

"My grandfather came in a hurry, and I left in a hurry, and Qing'er didn't have any good things to give my grandfather, these ...... Just take it as Qing'er's intention, don't dislike your grandfather! ”

Bai Yanqing ordered ink dyeing, packed a lot of crab roe cakes, and General Ji's favorite tea! All of them were stuffed to Ji Nanjing, so that he could carry them on his back!

Old General Ji was reluctant to bear it, turned his head away, and the cold wind wet his eyes. He was ruthless and flew away, and in the distance, an unmanned carriage had been waiting for a long time......

"Take care grandfather! Brother Jing, take care! ”

Bai Yanqing looked at the two who flew away, and muttered to himself towards their backs. She didn't dare to shout, she was afraid...... Those who hide in the shadows will suddenly come out again! will go up tomorrow morning, embarrassing the Ji family!

The small courtyard quickly regained its tranquility, and the wind did not have that familiar smell. It's as if no one has ever visited here in the middle of the night.
