Bai Qiurui never expected that this Xiao Mingrui and himself would only meet once. But it seems that he has some other thoughts about himself.

After thinking about it, she was quickly relieved.

If you follow the plot in the original book, the original owner at this time has already suffered from cold after falling into the water, and he has been in poor health and lingering on the sickbed. Except for her mother-in-law Liu and Lan'er, who have always taken care of her with their hearts, even Bai Hong has never looked at her.

Therefore, the original owner in the book did not come to the door of the house to welcome guests like her, let alone the current appearance with Xiao Mingrui.

Therefore, the current situation was not expected by Bai Qiurui in advance.

But fortunately, everyone just simply exchanged pleasantries, and soon his father Bai Hong took a group of people into the house. Bai Qiurui also justifiably ended the awkward conversation with Xiao Mingrui, and both of them restrained their expressions and followed everyone into the mansion.

In the next few days, Baifu was much more lively.

Bai Yueyue assumed her identity as a concubine, and earned enough face in front of the two Miss Cousins and Young Master Xiao Mingrui. In everything, he put on the attitude of his daughter-in-law, which can be said to be a good arrangement.

is also a concubine, Miss Xiao Chuchu and Bai Yueyue quickly got along, and the two could often be seen hanging out side by side in the courtyard. Xiao Mingyu, the third lady who came out, saw that she couldn't talk to the two and couldn't play together, but she preferred to come to chat with Bai Qiurui.

After getting along for a few days, Bai Qiurui found that this cousin was a simple-minded lady who didn't have much of a city government. She spends most of her time in the house, and it's natural to have someone to talk to right now.

On this day, Bai Qiurui was teaching Xiao Mingyu to make seasonal pastries in spring in the small courtyard - Qingtuan.

In this era, people's pursuit of food is too low, and there are no pastries like the Youth League. Bai Qiurui also has nothing to do to eat in season, in addition to passing the time, she wants to do more to her father.

was the first to propose this kind of dim sum, which made Xiao Mingyu, who came to talk to Bai Qiurui, very curious, and the two talked and laughed, so she wanted Bai Qiurui to teach herself how to do it.

"It's very simple to make a Qingtuan, this is glutinous rice flour kneaded with wormwood juice, and the color is cyan."

On the stone table in the small courtyard, there are green glutinous rice dumplings of different sizes, and a small bowl of red bean paste filling next to them.

Bai Qiurui picked up a cyan glutinous rice dumpling, kneaded it and flattened it into a skin, and put it in the palm of her hand. Pick up a small spoon and scoop up a spoonful of sweet red bean paste and pour it on the glutinous rice dough in the palm of your hand, and then the white and tender fingertips are delicately tightened, and a round green ball is ready.

Xiao Mingyu sat beside Bai Qiurui and watched in surprise and admiration: "Sister, you are so amazing, Mingyu has been here for the past few days, and I always feel that sister, you seem to be able to do anything." ”

Bai Qiurui smiled, this is her own good cooking skills in the new era. Seeing Xiao Mingyu's eagerness to try, she also began to teach seriously.

Lan'er and Xiao Mingyu's personal maid Zhu'er were smiling and accompanying on the side, Xiao Mingyu learned quickly, and the two of them wrapped up all the Youth League in a while.

"Put the Qingtuan in the steamer, and steam a stick of incense on high heat, call me when it's okay."

Bai Qiurui instructed Lan'er to take the finished Qingtuan embryo to steam, and was thinking about resting for a while, when a man's voice came from her ears.

"Cousin Qiurui!"

The voice is clear and magnetic, and the tail note is raised, with the joy of a spring breeze. Except for the prodigal cousin Young Master Xiao Mingrui, who else could there be?

When Bai Qiurui heard this voice, she unconsciously frowned. From the day Xiao Mingrui entered the mansion, Bai Qiurui had to deal with him almost every day.

There is no way, Xiao Mingrui will run to the Lanxiang Courtyard every day. Either I came to chat with Bai Qiurui, or I bought a beautiful hairpin from outside and wanted to give it to her.

However, Bai Qiurui would not like a man like Xiao Mingrui at all, and even more so to avoid suspicion. So, all the gifts she gave were politely declined by her without exception.

Therefore, judging from the current situation, Bai Qiurui just doesn't want to admit it anymore and has to admit it: this eldest cousin seems to be a little interesting to herself......

Seeing Xiao Mingrui walking briskly into the courtyard, Bai Qiurui and Xiao Mingyu stood up and saluted.

"Cousin Mingrui is good."

"Second brother."

Today's Xiao Mingrui is wearing a light jade-colored woven brocade robe and brocade boots. In his hand, he still did not leave his folding fan painted with a picture of Hanmei, smiling, shaking it quite chicly and wantonly.

After seeing the cousin Qiu Rui that he was missing, Xiao Mingrui's handsome face smiled even more.

"Cousin Qiurui, you and I don't have to be so polite. Mingyu, it's such a coincidence that you're here. ”

Xiao Mingrui greeted the two with a smile, and Xiao Mingyu on the side took in the smile on his face. Although she is two years old with Bai Qiurui, her brother's naked look could not be more obvious.

It seems that the second brother likes Cousin Qiu Rui very much.

Xiao Mingrui knew the temperament of his third sister, and he didn't shy away from anything. took out a delicate hairpin flower tassel from his arms, and handed it to Bai Qiurui with a smile.

"Sister Qiurui, Ming'er and everyone will go out to swim in the lake together, and you can accept this step. I asked the shopkeeper to carefully help me build it, and you will look good when you wear it for a trip tomorrow. ”

At present, Bai Qiurui has experienced too many times these days, and at this moment, she opened her mouth politely and politely: "Cousin Mingrui, I can't accept such a valuable step." Qiu Rui is not short of jewelry, and I ask my cousin not to spend so much. ”

If you refuse, you will open your mouth, with that pure and beautiful face, it will not be stained with dust, and it will make others angry.

The business can be described as quite skilled.

Going out to visit the lake is the proposal of the eldest lady Li, and she can't let the few young ladies and young masters who live in the house be bored in the house every day. Young Master Xiao Mingrui can go out of the house from time to time, and the two young ladies are in the boudoir, where can they go out of the house at will.

Therefore, the Li family chose a day to let the juniors in the family go out for a walk together.

Xiao Mingrui looked at his innocent and lovely little cousin, reluctant to say a heavy word, and felt a little depressed in his heart.

He has been giving things in different ways these days, just to please Qiurui's cousin. But the jewelry fat powder that he had no choice but to send was all returned, which made him extremely depressed.

finally caught a good excuse to go out to the lake, and carefully built a step shake, but it was rejected again.

Xiao Mingrui was a little depressed, and looked at Bai Qiurui in front of him: "Cousin, you don't accept anything I give me these days." Tomorrow I will go out to visit the lake, I really think this step is beautiful and I want to give it to you, so you can accept this time. ”

Bai Qiurui really had a headache, and she also knew that it was easy to offend Xiao Mingrui by always rejecting him. However, if she accepts it all, what should others think of her?

What's more, there is a difference between men and women, and this era attaches great importance to etiquette. As the daughter of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, she is more or less a lady, and she must not do anything that damages her reputation.

After thinking about it again, Bai Qiurui still said with a heart: "Cousin, your heart Qiurui understands." It's just that there is a difference between men and women, and this step of shaking Qiurui really can't be accepted. ”

After these words, Xiao Mingrui was like a deflated ball, wilting.

Xiao Mingyu couldn't stand it anymore, and felt that he had to help his second brother somewhat. Not to mention anything else, it can make her brother accept her heart, and Bai Qiurui is still the first to be desperate for so many days.

So, she tugged Bai Qiurui's sleeve slightly: "Sister Qiurui, my brother is also kind." My sister has rejected so many gifts from my brother, so let's just accept this one. ”

Xiao Mingrui immediately echoed: "Yes, cousin Qiurui." You see, Mingyu doesn't think it's anything, so you can take it this time. ”

Bai Qiurui was entangled, she really didn't want to have anything to do with Xiao Mingrui. After thinking about it, she finally accepted the step shake, but repeatedly emphasized that she should not send herself anything else in the future.

Xiao Mingrui naturally responded, watching his gift being accepted, and his previous gloomy mood was swept away.

Bai Qiurui was not very happy, she held a hot potato and smiled bitterly in her heart. I hope this is just what Xiao Mingrui bought for himself because he thought it was good-looking, and there was no other meaning.

As a thank you, Bai Qiurui asked Xiao Mingrui to taste the Youth League she had made, and asked Lan'er to send some to her father Bai Hong.

Xiao Mingrui was eating Qingtuan, and at the same time praised Bai Qiurui's good craftsmanship, and his mind was full of thinking about how Bai Qiurui would wear it tomorrow.

However, Bai Qiurui would not wear it to swim in the lake, and when the person left, he pressed the step shake to the bottom of the jewelry box to eat ashes.

Early the next morning, all the people in the house got up early to wash.

Bai Qiurui wore a lotus-colored embroidered skirt, her long hair was simply combed into a bun at the waist, and a gold-woven hollow begonia flower was swayed between her hairpins.

No matter how simple the dress is, it sets off her temperament and complexion just right. This is thanks to her mother-in-law Liu, who gave birth to a good face, and Bai Qiurui's appearance inherited most of her appearance.

After breakfast, everyone gathered outside the mansion. Xiao Mingrui had been waiting in the place early, just to see Bai Qiurui's appearance.

However, when Bai Qiurui walked out behind Bai Yueyue and Xiao Chuchu, Xiao Mingrui looked at her hair for the first time, and there was nothing else except for the swaying of a begonia flower.

At this moment, Xiao Mingrui was hit, and there was a deep sense of loss in his eyes.

Bai Qiurui naturally noticed Xiao Mingrui, she didn't look at each other as much as possible, and got into the carriage with Xiao Mingyu.

Due to the large number of people in the house, three carriages were arranged. The three sons took one, Bai Yueyue and Xiao Chuchu, and the last one was Bai Qiurui and Xiao Mingyu.

With such an arrangement, Bai Qiurui is happy. She was reluctant to ride with Bai Yueyue, and she wanted to come to Bai Yueyue the same.

Chatting along the way, I didn't realize that I had arrived at the place. The place I went to today was Lake Senba on the outskirts of Kyoto.

In spring, the shores of Qianbo Lake are green, and the tender green grass stretches out. Bai Qiurui followed everyone to stand on the shore of the lake, the surface of the lake was sparkling, and a gust of wind was blowing, with a fresh and moist earthy smell.

This is the second time Bai Qiurui has come out of this world, and she was looking around curiously, when her eyes suddenly fell on a figure not far away.

This figure seems to be very familiar......

Much like ...... Shen Yuan?
