This voice is particularly familiar, and every time Li reprimands the original body, it is like this. It seems that the pigeon was released and was not happy, so he went directly to the door to find fault.

As everyone knows, Li's move is in Bai Qiurui's arms. She glanced at her father's face, and saw that he had already smiled, and his face was a little cloudy at the moment.

Bai Hong didn't expect his wife, who had always been dignified and virtuous in his eyes, to speak so ugly behind his back. And her humiliation is not someone else, but her own side room.

"Mrs., the concubine didn't know that Rui'er collided with Yueyue, and the concubine only saw Rui'er fall into the water, so I asked people to ask for a doctor."

After the words of Master Li Xing's questioning fell, a woman's soft and humble voice was heard. Bai Qiurui knew from her memory that this was the Liu family.

There was a one-sided crushing in the courtyard, and when Bai Hong heard Liu say that Bai Qiurui fell into the water, he immediately turned his head to look at the person beside him.

I saw that my daughter, who was still smiling and talking, lowered her head, clasped her arms and trembled slightly, as if she remembered some scared scene.

Facing her father's particularly concerned gaze, Bai Qiurui pretended to be strong and weak: "It turned out that my daughter was careless, but it's not a big deal, don't worry." ”

Bai Hong frowned, he really ignored this daughter. At present, this little daughter is sensible and makes him feel distressed, because his father is not competent enough.

Li's words of reprimanding Liu became more and more unpleasant, and Bai Hong couldn't listen to these words anymore, so he immediately strode into the courtyard.

Bai Qiurui followed closely beside her father, and she deliberately made that action to show her father. Such a good opportunity must not be missed, she wants Bai Hong to see how the Li family usually bullies people.

Walking into the courtyard, Bai Qiurui first saw her maid Lan'er kneeling on the ground with her head down, and a woman with a simple dress and a gentle and beautiful face kneeling beside her.

This should be the mother of the heroine of the original book, just from the face of a beautiful embryo, the eyebrows are picturesque, and she has a dignified and elegant charm. Although he knelt on the ground humbly, his expression was still not angry or resentful, and he was quite polite.

Finally, his gaze shifted to a figure with his back to him. Looking at the back alone, there was a woman dressed in luxurious clothes, wearing a precious hairpin, and she was accompanied by the slave maid who had come to deliver the message before. Needless to say, Bai Qiurui also knew that this person was the Li family.

"As a concubine, you should know your identity, no wonder, I remember that you are the daughter of a county in Jiangnan. A small family like you really doesn't know how to respect and humility, and even the daughter who gave birth to her is a lowly concubine, and she doesn't know how to respect and humility! ”

The Li family was impassionedly teaching the Liu family, and the Liu family and the maid Lan'er bowed their heads respectfully. Therefore, no one noticed that Bai Qiurui was already standing in the courtyard with Bai Hong for a while.

"What the eldest lady taught was that it was the concubine's lax discipline that made Rui'er lose her sense of proportion. I also ask for forgiveness from my wife, I will teach Rui'er carefully in the future. ”

Bai Qiurui listened to Liu's words in her ears, and saw that the other party would rather be punished than protect her, and couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in her heart.

Although the Liu family is not her own mother, Bai Qiurui can see that she is a good mother.

Hearing Liu's request, Li sneered: "You yourself are a shameless woman, and the fox master has become a side room." How can a mother like you teach her daughter well? ”

They all say that they are forgiving and forgiving, but judging from the current situation, Li does not understand such a truth at all.

Bai Qiurui secretly shook her head in her heart, and at a glance, her father couldn't bear it anymore.

"Really?"

Bai Hong's face was extremely ugly, and Duansu's face was shrouded in a layer of gloom. The tone of his voice was cold and stiff, even colder than when he thought about the case.

Li Shi was startled when he heard Bai Hong's cold voice behind him, and his legs and feet suddenly became weak. It wasn't until the maid next to her reached out to help her that she realized the blessing of the salute.

"Old ...... Sir, how did you get here? ”

"Why, can't I come here?"

"No, it's not, that's not what concubines mean."

A smile forced into Li's face, and he said a wrong sentence in a panic. It's also strange that Bai Hong came too suddenly, Li usually pretends to be very generous in front of him, but he didn't expect it to be today.

"Tell me, how can Mengyan teach her daughter badly?"

Bai Hong opened his mouth coldly, and this sentence directly shocked the Li family.

Bai Qiurui was secretly happy in her heart, she had long known that the Li family was narrow-minded and difficult to deal with, and she released her pigeon, she would definitely make some trouble.

Now this meeting is simply tailor-made for her, and it would be a waste if she didn't do something.

So, before everyone could react, Bai Qiurui's body moved and knelt down between the Liu family and Lan'er.

"Mother, it's all Rui'er's fault, please don't punish my mother."

Bai Qiurui looked at Li's luxurious clothes, and his appearance was much worse than that of his mother-in-law Liu, but he could be regarded as a Peugeot person.

However, her eyes were dark, and her eyebrows revealed a calculating look before. Bai Qiurui also probably understands that this housewife is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Mengyan, Rui'er, all get up, what are you doing on your knees?"

As soon as Bai Qiurui finished looking at the Li family, she heard Bai Hong's voice. She quietly reached behind Liu and Lan'er and grabbed their clothes, preventing them from getting up.

The two people next to him didn't understand what was going on, Bai Qiurui had already acted. She first wanted to speak, then stopped glancing at Bai Hong, and then looked at Li Shi with a shrunken look. The eyes were clearly saying: The mistress didn't speak, and we didn't dare to get up.

"Get up, don't you hear what I say?"

Bai Hong's voice rose a degree, and after finishing speaking, he glanced at Li Shi coldly.

Bitter Li, she had the impression that Bai Hong should not be waiting to see the mother and daughter, today is the sun coming out of the west, and the master actually took the initiative to come to the courtyard to see them.

There are also Bai Qiurui and Liu's family, I usually don't see them so obedient, but when they meet the master, they rush to sell and pretend to be pitiful.

"Mother, Rui'er didn't know that you called me to the front hall, it was my fault, and I asked my mother not to punish my mother."

Bai Qiurui bowed, and said with a look of grievance under Li's gloomy face: "I don't know what happened when my mother called me to the front hall?" ”

Li's face was ugly: "I asked Qiu Chan to pass a message to you, she saw you and the maid in the same room, how could you not know?" ”

Bai Qiurui looked confused: "I haven't seen it, Lan'er, have you seen it?" ”

The hand hidden behind her back patted Lan'er gently, the little girl was quite clever, and immediately understood what Bai Qiurui meant.

"The slave maid has been with the young lady, and I really haven't seen Sister Qiu Chan."

At that time, there were only three people: Bai Qiurui, Lan'er and Qiu Chan. At this moment, Bai Qiurui deliberately said that she didn't see Qiu Chan talking, and she still had Lan'er to testify, so that Qiu Chan was stunned.

"Second Miss, the slave clearly conveyed Madame's words, how can you tell a lie?"

At this moment, Bai Qiurui's eyes were full of tears, and she wanted to cry. It's like being wronged, showing helpless eyes. The innocent eyes turned and fell on Bai Hong.

"Daddy, my daughter didn't lie......"

Bai Qiurui's operation distorted the original matter. Bai Hong saw that the momentum of Qiu Chan and the slave maids had overwhelmed his daughter, and immediately scolded him.

"Presumptuous, Qiu Cicada, you are becoming more and more unruly, is this the attitude that your slave should have?"

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Cicada hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy. She has always been used to bullying Bai Qiurui and her party, and now that she heard that she was being slandered, she forgot her sense of proportion when she was in a hurry.

Qiu Chan was originally the Li family's dowry girl, and her status was naturally higher than that of ordinary maidservants. At this moment, Li saw that his dowry was reprimanded, so he simply knelt down and admitted his mistake.

"Master, it's my fault that the concubine is wrong, and I didn't discipline my subordinates well."

Bai Hong looked at the kneeling Li family, and in the end, he didn't care about her identity as the cousin of the official department, and he didn't want to ask too much.

He knew that Bai Qiurui and the Liu family had been wronged today, and he didn't want to study the details in between, so he had to let the Li family get up and go back to his room.

After Li took the autumn cicada away, Bai Hong asked with concern: "Rui'er, I just heard your mother say that you fell into the water, what's going on?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's okay, it's really my daughter who accidentally ...... herself."

Bai Qiurui didn't mention that she was not broad-minded because she fell into the water, and the main purpose of using Bai Hong's routine to Lanxiang Courtyard this time was to let him know the situation of himself and the Liu family over the years.

Now that the person is already in the courtyard, the purpose of this matter has basically been achieved. If it is the first time to make a lot of things in front of his father, it will inevitably make him feel uncomfortable and leave a bad impression, which will not be good.

In a few words, he revealed that he had fallen into the water, and by the way, he asked the doctor who invited him to the door to send him out, and Bai Qiurui began to lead his father in the direction he wanted.

"Daddy, it's not too early to look at the hour. Why don't you cook with your daughter, can you stay with your mother and have lunch with your daughter? ”

Bai Hong was naturally willing to hear this, but before he could speak, he didn't want the Liu family to take a step ahead of him and said: "Rui'er, there are no fresh vegetables in the courtyard today, I'm afraid it's inconvenient." ”

Although Liu didn't know why the old man suddenly came to the courtyard with his daughter, when she heard that the other party was going to stay for dinner, her face was a little embarrassed.

Bai Qiurui smiled: "Don't worry, my daughter knows." ”

It was because I knew that it was inconvenient, so I brought it up and asked my father to solve it for Bao Yuan......

The reason for the inconvenience is nothing more than that there is a separate kitchenette in the small courtyard next to it, and the kitchen in this orchid courtyard has long been abandoned. In addition, they don't eat good dishes on weekdays, and they can't get anything to cook at all.

"Mother, I know that the small kitchen in our yard has long been abandoned. I can go to the back kitchen at home and cook, that's fine. ”

Bai Qiurui deliberately said it plainly, but when Bai Hong on the side heard this, his face was stunned for a while, and then turned into guilt.

As far as the eye can see, the Lanxiang Courtyard is located in a remote and narrow area, there is no view in the courtyard, and the inner room has been built many years ago. Over the years, the wind and rain have been blowing, and it has become mottled.

"Mengyan, Rui'er, this Lanxiang Courtyard has been dilapidated for so many years. You will clean up later, and I will have a new yard cleaned for you to live in. ”

Bai Hong wanted to make up for his mistakes, and these were exactly what Bai Qiurui wanted. She glanced at the smile on Liu's face and invited herself to cook.

dragged the maid Lan'er to the back kitchen, and the little girl was asking questions along the way, Bai Qiurui asked her to help herself obediently first, so she could cook a meal first.

The vegetables in the back kitchen are not particularly good, and my father's diet is made by Li's small kitchen on weekdays.

However, Bai Qiurui is very confident in her cooking skills, and she can make delicious food with a full range of colors and flavors even if she uses not particularly good ingredients.

For this meal, Bai Qiurui took local materials and did something. I was thinking about making a few seasonal stir-fries, and then making a special kung pao chicken.

Fortunately, there is ready-made chicken in the back kitchen, and Bai Qiurui asked Lan'er to prepare some dried chili, green onions, and ginger slices, and then wash the cucumbers. She used a knife to cut off the best chicken breast.

Pat the back of the knife to relax, then cut the chicken breast into square cubes. Add cooking wine, pepper, salt and oil to marinate to taste, and finally mix well with the starch mixed with water.

Heat the pot, pour oil into the hot pan, then put the peppercorns and chopped dried chili peppers in it, stir-fry carefully until fragrant, and then add the green onions.

Stir-fry for a while, add the diced chicken, and then add some cooking wine to remove the fishy flavor. Wait until the diced chicken is fried until it changes color, then add some water starch and pour it in.

Finally, take advantage of the time, add the previous condiments with soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, less salt and trace sugar, and pour the all-purpose sauce into the pot.

Seeing that there were just some peanuts at hand, I grabbed a small handful of them and smashed them in. Drop in sesame oil, add some coriander to add flavor, and you're done!

It didn't take much effort, and in Lan'er's stunned expression, Bai Qiurui made a few plates of stir-fried vegetables, plus a plate of kung pao chicken that smelled and made people drool.

"Miss, Lan'er doesn't know, when did you cook so well?"

Lan'er knew that Bai Qiurui could cook, but cooking on weekdays was not as full of color and flavor as it is now, it was simply too appetizing.

"This is my new idea, doesn't it smell good?"

Bai Qiurui laughed at Lan'er twice, disrupting the little girl's words. In the state of the other party's nodding like pounding garlic, he smiled and put the dishes on the plate and walked towards the Lanxiang Courtyard.
