After a few more comfortable days, Bai Qiurui heard Lan'er say that Xiao Mingrui had come twice, and she directly excused herself on the grounds that she was unwell.

Later, I heard the little girl say that Xiao Mingrui saw that she avoided her, so he turned to find his mother-in-law Liu.

But several times in a row, he was still in high spirits when he came, but when he came out of Liu's house, he looked depressed.

After a few days, Xiao Mingrui seemed to give up in spite of the difficulties, and he didn't come back to the Bamboo Branch Courtyard.

This is what Bai Qiurui likes to see, she was always stuffy in the house to avoid Xiao Mingrui at first, and when he didn't run over, she lay down leisurely on the chaise longue in the courtyard to breathe.

It's already summer season, and it's a great pleasure to read a book and eat chilled fruit in the gazebo.

However, within a few days of such days, Bai Qiurui felt a little tired.

On this day, she was in the gazebo looking at the new materials and patterns on the street, and she felt bored after flipping through two or three pages.

I was about to take out a piece of watermelon that had been cooled in the well water from the ice bowl next to me, but I casually raised my eyes and glanced at it, and I happened to see a picture of the hollow valley orchid.

Somehow, just at this glance, Bai Qiurui suddenly thought of the handkerchief that Shen Yuan gave her.

Shen Yuan's handkerchief was embroidered with green bamboo, and now Bai Qiurui wanted to embroider an orchid handkerchief in her heart.

The patterns of the materials in her hands are the latest styles in the capital, so looking at her, she wants to go out and choose a good material in the clothing store in the capital in person.

And now she hasn't seen her father for a long time, although her marriage contract with Ning Wangfu is ten out of ten years, but she still has to care about the follow-up development.

Shen Yuan said at the beginning that he asked Sui Hong to come into the mansion to look for her when things progressed, but after several days, there was still no movement at all.

So, Bai Qiurui decided to make some novel dishes for her father to taste first, and by the way, see if she could inquire about the follow-up case from him.

She asked Lan'er to see if her father was in the study, and the little girl answered.

It didn't take long to see Lan'er running back with a smile: "Miss, the slave maid has been to see it, and the master is in the study." ”

"Great."

Bai Qiurui nodded with satisfaction, and then she immediately began to think about what kind of dish would be better.

Thinking about it, she couldn't think of the best thing to do for a while.

Until she paced back and forth around the stone table aimlessly, and inadvertently kicked a small pebble.

"Miss has been always concerned about where the master is lately, and she has to ask the slave every day or two."

Lan'er watched Bai Qiurui chase a small pebble that she kicked in, and she laughed and joked about Bai Qiurui.

"Miss, are you bored in the house every day these days?"

Bai Qiurui sighed lazily, but her eyes flashed at the moment when she followed the pebble to the ground.

Pregnant!

Let's make a dish called Flower Chicken today!

If the matter of King Ning and Zhenbei Hou is shaken out, I am afraid that the fate in the future will be better than Huazi.

Thinking like this, Bai Qiurui suddenly laughed.

Lan'er was used to her young lady's sudden silence and laughter, and silently prayed in her heart that the young lady would not go insane, no matter how much she couldn't do.

Just do it, it's not difficult to call it a flower chicken, and it's also very interesting.

If you make this dish as if you were a homemaker, you can do it.

Thinking about it like this, Bai Qiurui felt more and more that her idea was better.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Qiurui said: "Lan'er, let someone dig up some clean soil, and then move a pile of firewood and put it in the open space outside the small kitchen." ”

Lan'er looked confused and stammered, "Miss, what do you want to do...... Clean mud? ”

Is the mud clean?

Lan'er didn't understand what her young lady was going to do, so she stood stupidly in place.

Bai Qiurui came to her senses at this time, so she changed her words: "I don't want to have the mud of branches, leaves, stones, and other things." ”

"Miss, what are you going to do here?"

Lan'er, who was still blessing her young lady not to go insane at the last moment, now finds that her young lady seems to have suddenly gone insane.

Bai Qiurui said with a smile: "Your young lady hasn't cooked for a long time, and I want to roast a chicken today." ”

The little girl was stunned for a moment when she heard this: "Miss, why do you want to prepare mud for roast chicken?" ”

It's right to use firewood to roast chicken, but what does the young lady want mud for?

"The roast chicken made by your young lady is different from the ordinary roast chicken, you will know in a while."

Bai Qiurui instructed the little girl to work, and then she sneaked to the lotus pond at home by herself, intending to pick a big and fresh lotus leaf to take back.

Who knows, the road is narrow, and sometimes things are often so coincidental.

As soon as Bai Qiurui arrived at the lotus pond, she saw Xiao Chuchu coming from somewhere.

"Yo, isn't this Sister Qiurui?"

Xiao Chuchu walked to Bai Qiurui's side and opened his mouth with a smile.

Bai Qiurui raised a business-style smile, embarrassed and polite: "Yo, isn't this Cousin Chu Chu?" ”

"You ......"

Bai Qiurui's ineffective words made Xiao Chuchu eat a closed door.

But then she quickly changed her face again: "My sister is still angry with my sister?" The last thing was that my sister was wrong, and I apologize to my sister here. ”

Xiao Chuchu said that he actually bowed quite properly, which made Bai Qiurui's heart beat a drum.

This is obviously a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken, and he is not well-intentioned.

Xiao Chuchu, who is usually on weekdays, wishes that something had happened to her, and the more miserable and unlucky she is, the happier she is.

Today's abnormal behavior reminded Bai Qiurui of going to Nanyue Temple for the first time, they had just entered the backyard room, and Xiao Chuchu was also so flattering.

In the end, she came to the conclusion that she wanted to deliberately lead herself to a no-man's place in the back mountain, so as to take the opportunity to let the arranger do it to her.

And now......

Bai Qiurui turned her head to look around, and she found that the lotus pond in this mansion was really a good place to frame others and kill people.

The location is remote and secluded, and few people come.

Thinking of her original body, wasn't it because she came to the lotus pond by chance, and then met Bai Yueyue, that she was pushed into the lotus pond and lost her life.

Today, this is really a repetition of the old thing, she is still Bai Qiurui in name, but the eldest lady opposite has been replaced by the current Miss Biao.

It's just that I don't know, this young lady deliberately pinched a little bit to come to her today, did she want to push her off the lotus pond like Bai Yueyue, or did she want to jump into the lotus pond herself to frame herself and deliberately hurt her?

Whatever it was, she couldn't do it today.

After thinking about it, Bai Qiurui decided to strike first.

Facing Xiao Chuchupi's smiling expression, she asked rhetorically as if she didn't know anything.

"When was the last time my sister said it? What is it? ”

Bai Qiurui opened her mouth and threw out two propositions, which directly made Xiao Chuchu speechless.

Whatever she said, it was a mistake.

Seeing this, Bai Qiurui immediately hit the railway while it was hot: "What my sister said last time, was it the first time we went to the lake, or the last time we went to Nanyue Temple, or did you do something wrong behind your back that my sister didn't know?" ”

While speaking, Bai Qiurui was not idle, she searched for a long time by the lotus pond beside her, and finally let her find a big and fresh lotus leaf.

She immediately walked over, leaned over and reached for it.

And at this moment, Xiao Chuchu's figure moved, and he quickly came to Bai Qiurui's side.

"Sister, are you going to pick lotus leaves?" She had a smile on her face, but there was a cold glint in her eyes.

The palm in the wide-sleeved robe slowly stretched out, and it was about to reach out to Bai Qiurui's back, and the little girl who was almost able to pick the lotus leaf suddenly withdrew her hand.

Bai Qiurui suddenly withdrew her hand and turned back, startling Xiao Chuchu, and the hand she was about to stretch out suddenly retracted.

Keeping her eyes fixed on Xiao Chuchu, Bai Qiurui looked at her fixedly, and her heart was furious when she looked at her straight eyes.

After a long time, Xiao Chuchu pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was more ugly than crying.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? What are you staring at me like that? ”

After she finished speaking, seeing that Bai Qiurui hadn't answered yet, her fixed eyes seemed to be about to see all the little abacus in her heart clearly.

It wasn't until Xiao Chuchu was on the verge of going berserk that Bai Qiurui slowly withdrew her gaze.

"I'm looking to see if my cousin Chu Chu has an eye disease, is it because my action of picking lotus leaves is not obvious enough, and I have to bother my sister You stand beside me, and ask me if I am picking lotus leaves?"

Xiao Chuchu: "......"

Before Xiao Chuchu could think of a good statement, Bai Qiurui looked Xiao Chuchu and her own position up and down again.

"Cousin Chu Chu also asked you to stand farther away, you are standing behind me like this, if I accidentally stumble and fall into the lotus pond, maybe I will have to rely on my cousin It was you who pushed me down."

This was a joke, and Xiao Chuchu didn't know how to answer for a while.

After a moment, she reluctantly smiled and said, "My sister is really good at joking." ”

Bai Qiurui raised her signature smile that was not smiling, and then said meaningfully: "If my sister is laughing, then my sister is laughing, it depends on what my sister thinks in her heart." ”

The meaning in these words was too naked, and Xiao Chuchu unconsciously clenched his palms.

"Nature...... It's a joke. ”

Bai Qiurui looked like she suddenly realized when she heard this, she nodded exaggeratedly, and then suddenly said unintentionally.

"Oh yes, yesterday I went to the Criminal Department on the order of my father, but I heard that Wei Yingshu, the eldest lady of the Beihou Mansion in Tangtang Town, disappeared for seven days without seeing anyone dead or dead."

As he didn't intend to speak, Bai Qiurui secretly looked at Xiao Chuchu's face as she spoke.

Sure enough, when the other party heard her last words, his eyes flickered involuntarily for a moment.

When it comes to emotional management ability, Bai Yueyue is several times worse than Xiao Chuchu.

Xiao Chuchu is a smart woman with a city government, and she is good at hiding her opinions.

If it weren't for Bai Qiurui's inner core, who was not a native of this era, she had lived in the era of rapid development in her previous life for more than 20 years, and after countless social lashes, it would be difficult for her to see through Xiao Chuchu.

I saw Xiao Chuchu panic for a moment, and then immediately picked up: "Ah...... Yes, is it? ”

Bai Qiurui hooked her lips and smiled: "Yes, Mrs. Zhenbei Hou hurriedly went to the Criminal Department in person to ask Lord Shen to help find someone." ”

"yes, that's a real hurry." Xiao Chuchu calmed down after the initial panic, she looked at Bai Qiurui's words and smiled to pick them up.

With such a two-sentence effort, if it weren't for Bai Qiurui's insight, she would really have been deceived.

Then, Bai Qiurui smiled and didn't speak again, she estimated that Lan'er had already prepared the materials to be called Huaji.

She looked at the lotus leaf in full bloom in front of her, and reached out to pick it again.

Unbeknownst to her, as soon as she moved, Xiao Chuchu behind her also moved, and she reached out again to push Bai Qiurui into the pool.

However, Bai Qiurui is not stupid, how can she not guard against her.

Seeing Xiao Chuchu's small movements, Bai Qiurui spoke: "But before I returned to the house, it is said that the eldest lady of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion had already been found by Lord Shen, and it seemed that two people had been arrested. ”

At these words, Xiao Chuchu panicked all of a sudden, her outstretched hand trembled violently, and her eyes were full of fear.

And at this time, Bai Qiurui successfully picked the lotus leaf she wanted.

I played with the jade lotus leaf in my hand twice, and the unique fragrance of the fresh lotus leaf emanated, and I felt peaceful when I smelled it.

Bai Qiurui had already seen that something was wrong with Xiao Chuchu in the corner of her eyes, and as soon as she saw that her situation was wrong, she immediately pretended to be surprised.

"Yo, Sister Chu Chu, what's wrong? Do you look sick? ”

With this series of questions, Xiao Chuchu's face was already dark.

She prevaricated indiscriminately: "Yes, I've been sick for the past two days." ”

"Heart disease, right?"

Bai Qiurui opened her mouth lightly, and before she finished speaking, Xiao Chuchu's eyes widened and she stared up at her suddenly.

The venomous look in her eyes was like a poisonous snake hiding in the shadows, ready to bite her at any moment.

"My sister still has something to do, so I'll leave first."

Bai Qiurui leisurely put down a sentence, hummed a brisk tune and returned to the Bamboo Branch Courtyard, leaving Xiao Chuchu alone in the same place.

She wanted to ask Bai Qiurui about the specific situation of the two people who were caught in the future, but after thinking about it, if she asked so, she would not confess and admit that she arranged it herself.

In this case, she had to force herself not to ask.

By the time Bai Qiurui returned to the Bamboo Branch Courtyard, Lan'er had already prepared all the materials, including the 'clean soil' that Bai Qiurui wanted.

"Miss, where have you been, the slave maid has prepared everything, but she hasn't found Miss."

Bai Qiurui simply said that it was okay, and then washed the lotus leaf in her hand with water.

Lan'er saw the lotus leaf in her hand and immediately thought, "Miss, did you go to the lotus pond?" ”

Bai Qiurui nodded, and was just about to speak, but when the little girl heard it, she immediately began to chatter.

"Miss, you forgot, you fell into the lotus pond before, and Madame can tell you a thousand times, saying that you must not be allowed to go to the lotus pond alone."

Bai Qiurui stopped the little girl's rambling words, and instructed her to clean the old hen that had been treated.

When Lan'er washed the hen with a bitter face, Bai Qiurui asked her to put the chicken on the washed lotus leaf.

Let the little girl find a rope to wrap the lotus leaf wrapped in the chicken, and Bai Qiurui lit the fire with the firewood prepared on the ground.

"Miss, this chicken is wrapped in lotus leaves, wait a moment and roast it on the fire, the lotus leaves will be bad, and besides, don't you need to find a stick to skewer the chicken?"

Lan'er held the bundled flower chicken in her hand, and looked at Bai Qiurui busy with a confused expression.

The latter didn't bother with her question at all, so he found clean water and sprinkled the soil directly on the ground to make it thick.

"Bring me the chicken."

Bai Qiurui reached out to take the chicken in her hand in Lan'er's surprised, puzzled, and puzzled eyes.

Then she smeared the mixed soil evenly on the surface of the lotus leaf.

"Little ...... Miss, can this still be eaten? ”

Lan'er looked at this mysterious operation, and her brows furrowed.

Bai Qiurui ignored her and put the mud-smeared chicken on the burning firewood pile by herself.

"When has your young lady ever failed to cook?" After doing all this, Bai Qiurui washed her hands and was busy knocking the little girl on the chestnut.

Lan'er covered her forehead and nodded aggrievedly.
