This sentence can be regarded as stuck in Bai Hong's heart, but now that his nephew is visiting, he has to postpone it no matter how urgent he is.

"My daughter asked someone to make snacks, and my father should use some, and it just so happened that my daughter hadn't seen her father for several days."

Bai Yueyue opened her mouth in a coquettish voice, her bright and fair face was smart and moving, pulling Bai Hong's sleeves and swaying from side to side.

In the end, it is the pearl of the palm that has been spoiled for many years, from the moment Bai Yueyue opened her mouth in the front yard, Bai Qiurui saw the smile on her father's face and never stopped.

Through the usually serious and upright face, she saw the love in her father's eyes.

"Okay, okay." Bai Hong smiled and agreed.

It wasn't until Bai Hong was pulled away by Bai Yueyue that Bai Qiurui walked towards the Lanxiang Courtyard alone.

At this time, it is still spring, the season of recovery. The peach blossoms planted in the courtyard are in full bloom, and the crimson petals dance gently with the slender and delicate branches. The breeze blows, and the petals fall onto the bluestone path, which is beautiful.

Bai Qiurui was stunned for a while before remembering where she was, gathered her mind, and returned to the small courtyard.

As soon as I entered the small courtyard, the depressed and old courtyard was empty. I didn't see my mother-in-law Liu, nor did I see my personal girl.

After looking around, Bai Qiurui was about to walk into the inner room, but suddenly heard a suppressed sobbing in her ears.

After taking a few steps, she turned around and followed the intermittent sound, and found Lan'er with tears on her face at the corner of the small courtyard.

The little girl was wearing a blue shirt, and there were tears on her delicate little face. Hearing footsteps, he looked up and found Bai Qiurui standing beside him.

"Lan'er, what's wrong with you? What are you crying about? ”

After Bai Qiurui finished speaking, she found that the little girl in front of her paused for a moment, and then lowered her head as if she was cowering.

"Miss, the slave is fine......"

Lan'er's voice was hoarse, and she had obviously been crying for a while.

Bai Qiurui saw that she kept her head down and didn't say anything, a little displeased.

She frowned, her white and tender fingers pulled over Lan'er's shoulder, and hooked the little girl's chin to make her raise her head.

"What the hell is wrong, talk well, don't cry."

It doesn't matter if she lifts it, after seeing Lan'er's face clearly, Bai Qiurui suddenly found that the left cheek of the little girl was high and swollen, and it was red at the moment, obviously she was slapped by someone.

Bai Qiurui's gaze turned cold all of a sudden: "Lan'er, what's wrong with your face?" Who hit it?! ”

was seen through by his own master at a glance, and Lan'erdou's big tears fell down with a click, and he replied intermittently.

"Miss...... Yes, it's Sister Autumn Cicada next to the eldest lady......"

Lan'er has followed her original body since she was a child, and she is loyal, and the two have naturally been in love for many years. At this moment, she was very aggrieved, and her speech was stumbling.

Bai Qiurui was patient, and after reassuring her for a while, she learned the specific ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that after having lunch and going out with Bai Hong and Shen Yuan, Lan'er went to get this month's monthly money. When she arrived at the account room, she happened to meet Qiu Cicada.

In the past, the eldest lady had already said hello to the account room, and the monthly monthly money of the Lanxiang Courtyard was only half of the original amount, and it has been like this for so many years.

This is because the eldest lady Li Xinlan dislikes the Liu family, and her own father broke the example of marrying the side room because of her mother's beautiful appearance and gentle temperament.

In other words, the reason why my father had a side room and an aunt after the eldest lady Li was because of the precedent opened by his mother. In such a situation, how can Li Xinlan, who is the main room, not hate?

Relying on the fact that he is the cousin of the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and the main room in this mansion, Li Xinlan is in charge of the affairs of the family, and the monthly money is naturally among them.

has been bullied for so many years, and only Liu's soft and glutinous temperament can endure it.

"Today, the slave maid went to receive the monthly money, and the account office gave less than usual. As soon as the slave asked, Qiu Cicada said that there was a distinguished guest at home who was coming, and the family wanted to increase expenses, so she ...... It deducted our monthly money. ”

Lan'er lowered her head, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito fly: "Miss, you know, the bookkeeper is clearly from the eldest lady's side." The slave and maid just argued angrily, and Qiu Chan relied on the fact that she was the eldest lady's dowry and beat the slave and maid......"

The little girl's voice was almost inaudible to the back, but every time she said a word, Bai Qiurui's face turned cold. It wasn't until Lan'er finished speaking that Bai Qiurui's face was already cold and terrifying, and her clear eyes were already frozen.

It's just that the dowry maid in the main room dares to be so presumptuous, and her own people will beat them when they say they, and they are really used to bullying themselves on weekdays, and a little maid dares to kick her nose in the face.

I don't know if this matter was secretly instructed by the Li family, or if Qiu Chan hated her in her heart, so she deliberately retaliated back.

"Okay, stop crying. You don't have to worry about this, I have my own plans. Let Lan'er wipe away her tears, Bai Qiurui said softly.

This little girl's temperament is with the original owner and the Liu family, the same soft and easy to handle.

Lan'er has followed Bai Qiurui since she was a child, and at this moment, she only feels that her own young lady seems to be a little different. In the past, when she was bullied, she could only sigh silently, but now she always feels that Miss seems to be a paying attention.

followed his father out to handle a case, it was not early at the moment, Bai Qiurui was tired for a day, and rested early.

It wasn't until two days later that the two sons of the White Mansion returned home and brought a few young masters and young ladies to the house.

Bai Qiurui got up early in the morning and followed the crowd in the house to greet the guests.

Today, she wore a jade-colored embroidered lotus pattern dress, her long hair was combed with a snake bun, and a white magnolia hairpin was inserted obliquely in her hair. Every move is dignified and elegant, gentle and modest.

After a short while, two carriages slowly stopped in front of the door. A white hand lifted the sedan curtain, and saw a handsome man in an ink-colored embroidered dark gold brocade robe get out of the first carriage, followed by a man in a jade-white Confucian robe.

Bai Qiurui knew from the memories in his mind that these two people were the two sons of the Li family, that is, the eldest son and the second son of the house, Bai Shaofeng and Bai Shaoyun. When it comes to the respect of the elders and the young, I have to shout brother.

The last person to come out of the carriage was a strange young man, and Bai Qiurui didn't find any useful information from his memory. The other party was dressed in a lake-blue brocade robe, wearing a jade crown, holding a folding fan, with a handsome and chic face, and a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes.

On the second carriage, two young and beautiful girls came down in front and back, and Bai Qiurui looked about as old as herself.

Father Bai Hong led the way, and the group of people who rushed back from the dust stepped forward in turn to salute.

Bai Qiurui understood it from the sidelines, and also knew the identities of several people.

Except for the two sons in the house, the strange man named Xiao Mingrui was the second son born to Bai Hong's sister, who was Bai Qiurui's nominal aunt.

One of the two girls who got off the carriage at the back was wearing a scarlet hundred butterfly skirt, with outstanding temperament and moving appearance, Xiao Mingrui's own sister, Xiao Chuchu. The other is wearing a light blue satin skirt, and her appearance is also marked, and she is Xiao Mingyu, the third girl from the concubine.

Everyone greeted Bai Hong well, and then the juniors of the same age were polite to each other.

Bai Yueyue also put in a lot of effort to dress up today, wearing a pink silver silk embroidered rose dress, long hair in a hibiscus bun, and several hollow carved gold silk begonia hairpins inserted in her hair. Originally, her complexion was inferior to Bai Qiurui, but when she was dressed up, she stiffly lined her overall image without falling behind.

It can be seen from the expression of the young master Xiao Mingrui, when he greeted Bai Yueyue, his eyes were obviously amazed for a moment.

Speaking of Xiao Mingrui, Bai Qiurui suddenly remembered the plot relationship in the book.

According to the description in the book, this cousin young master Xiao Mingrui is a free boy who is in love, and he has always liked to spend time drinking and lingering in flowers. There is never a shortage of girls around him, and he himself is a man who is used to rhetoric.

After thinking about it in my heart and reading the description in the book, I knew that this person was not a safe person. Bai Qiurui subconsciously felt that she should stay away from this kind of person.

"Hello cousin Qiurui."

Thinking about it, a man's clear and pleasant voice sounded in his ears, and Bai Qiurui suddenly came back to his senses.

looked at it again, it was Xiao Mingrui who was greeting him.

After settling down, Bai Qiurui bent and saluted shallowly: "I've seen Cousin Mingrui." ”

The girl's voice was gentle and gentle, like a soft feather that touched people's hearts, and Xiao Mingrui was immediately amazed by the temperament and complexion of his cousin.

Slightly bowed, smooth as jade forehead, a pair of clear eyes like a summer spring, pure and flawless. The beautiful and delicate face makes people can't help but want to possess it.

"Cousin doesn't have to be polite, don't be polite......"

Facing Bai Qiurui's symbolic return gift, Xiao Mingrui hurriedly stopped him, not wanting such a beauty to be affected at all.

There were so many people present that no one noticed Bai Qiurui, and they were all chatting. Only Bai Yueyue, who saw that Bai Qiurui was not dealing with, had been paying attention to her movements.

Seeing that Xiao Mingrui was more concerned and enthusiastic about Bai Qiurui than herself, Bai Yueyue couldn't help but get angry in her heart.

is obviously a lowly concubine, how can she seduce people's hearts like this, and she is a natural fox like her mother. As soon as people came, they looked up.

In fact, Bai Qiurui was really a little overwhelmed in the face of this second cousin's "enthusiasm". She didn't want to have anything to do with such a person at all, but the other party had been chasing her and chatting since she said hello.

Xiao Mingrui saw that his cousin was delicate, soft and soft, and had a pair of eyes that made him pity when he saw it, so he couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know...... Does Qiurui's cousin have a marriage match? ”

Bai Qiurui was directly stunned, she never expected Xiao Mingrui to ask such a question so abruptly.

Even if it is a relative of the same generation in the family, in the end, there is a difference between men and women, how can this kind of lifelong event of a daughter's family be recklessly mentioned.

It was about Xiao Mingrui who said it, and he felt a little offended, so he immediately apologized.

"Ah, it's me who is abrupt and offended my cousin, and please don't mind my cousin."

Bai Qiurui: "It's okay......"

It's no wonder that it's okay!
