Chapter 937

"Tch, Jinli, did you see your father's smug little eyes just now?"

After grunting, Mrs. Li continued to complain.

"Anyway, at such an old age, why don't you know how to be restrained and reserved at all."

"Isn't it just a friend who came to visit? He was so excited. Those who didn't know thought he was the protagonist today."

"No matter what, I'm still a grandfather, and I'm still so careless."

"Mom, the atmosphere is good today, so I'll let my dad go, just in time for him to help greet some people." Bai Jinli comforted with a smile.

"Well, that's true. As the head of our Bai family, your father should do this."

"Shen Yuan, I'm afraid there will be many people coming today. Your father may not be able to come here, and you will have to go over to help later." Li Pozi looked at Lin Chenyuan again and said.

"Should be."

"Mother, there are us too. Brother and I can also go out to help." Bai Baiqi volunteered to stand up.

"Hmm, why are you still sitting here? Do you have any winks? Hurry up and receive the guests."

"Just sitting here and moving your lips, can the guests be settled?"

"Your father is so old, and his movements and reactions are faster than yours. Can you do it?"

"..." Bai Yi and Bai Qi were disgusted.

Well, they're unresponsive.

Say goodbye, and they will go out to help.

After Lin Chenyuan, Bai Yi and Bai Qi went out, Yan Shi took a look at Bai Meng, and Bai Meng followed her and got up understandingly.

"Mom, I'll go over there to see if everything is ready for the women's seating."

"Yeah, okay, you can go." Mrs. Li nodded.

"Uh, why don't Mo'er go to see Daddy and see if he can help him?"

Seeing that everyone got up and went to work, Bai Mo, who was sitting there, couldn't sit still.

"It's okay, just sit down and rest for a while, in case Xiaohua, Yu Huan and the others come over later, I still need your hospitality."

"Well, okay." Bai Mo nodded.

At this time when almost everyone in the White House was moving, guests kept coming to the door.

In the beginning, the people who came here were all the people who really made good friends with them.

For example, those friends of Mr. Bai.

Friends who have a good relationship with Lin Chenyuan, like Qin Ke, Zhao Yuhai, Chu Mo and others.

And the brothers he met in the [-]th Battalion, headed by Old Xiong.

Even old generals Xu and General Luo were especially generous.

Because Mrs. Li doesn't deal with the noble ladies in the capital very much, she dislikes their hypocrisy and troublesomeness, so she doesn't have many friends here.

But that amount was just right.

That's right, Princess Heshun, who is a friend of Mrs. Li's square dance, is here.

She also brought Princess Mu along by the way.

Although Bai Yi had been in the household department before, he was the kind of person who kept his head down and worked. In the past, he rarely had time to make friends with others.

Even when talking to people, the discussion is about professional things.

However, his focused and dull temperament has attracted the approval of many colleagues.

First of all, during the day, he will not randomly inquire about other people's affairs, nor will he find trouble for nothing, he is very down-to-earth.

It is very easy for everyone to get along with him, and there is no need to worry about anything at all.

Secondly, Bai Yi is a very talkative person, but whenever someone comes to ask him a question, he will never show an impatient look.

He will be very serious about telling the people who come to ask him what he knows.

In the end, everyone in the household department knew that Bai Yi came in from the background at the beginning, but it turned out.

Bai Yi has great strength, and has won His Majesty's favor by virtue of his own ability.

Even in this situation, he still has the same attitude as before, without the slightest bit of arrogance or complacency.

After a long time, many people are willing to regard Bai Yi as their friend.

No, after hearing about Bai Yi's family, many people from the household department came to support him.

In the eyes of those people, such an honest sister as Bai Yi is definitely not bad.

Not to mention that Bai Yi's younger sister is the Lord of Qingping County, who was conferred by His Majesty himself, and the wife of the Marquis Zhongyong.

It has been three days since the incident happened, and during these three days, the Qingping county lord was still the Qingping county lord.

His Majesty even spoke sideways for her in the hall.

What does this mean? It means that His Majesty is on the side of Lord Qingping.

This is naturally an opportunity for those slickers in the Ministry of Finance.

As for Bai Baiqi's side, naturally many friends came.

Although he holds a position as Xiao Luo Luo in the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of War knows him well.

His Majesty appreciates everything that Bai Qi creates, which shows that this kid has a bright future.

Moreover, the Ministry of War Minister likes this kind of powerful subordinates.

Therefore, the Minister of the Ministry of War also came.

In addition, several real friends in the business field that Bai Qi knew were also invited.

As for Bai Jinli, she has more friends.

For most of the day, the people in Baifu were receiving all kinds of guests.

Until it was almost noon, the sixth prince sent a special gift.

Not long after that, His Majesty Qi Heng also sent small clothes, gold bracelets, toys and other things from the imperial court to the three children of the Qingping County Lord.

The news that His Majesty also gave a gift to Bai Jinli's child at this juncture instantly spread to the upper circles in the capital.

Then, in the following time, those ministers or dignitaries who had kept a wait-and-see attitude also sent people to give congratulatory gifts.

Even many people who followed the wind and spoke ill of Bai Jinli in the Baifu regretted it, and even became anxious.

For these individuals, Bai Jinli ordered their housekeepers to receive them.

When the dinner was about to start at noon, Princess Heshun smiled and said, "Jinli, it's already here, hurry up and take your three little babies out for everyone to see."

"Yeah, we've always been curious about the three babies of the county head's family."

"Who says it's not? Now who in the capital doesn't envy the county master, it's a natural blessing to be able to get three babies at once."

"Lingjiao, go and ask Mama Guo and the others to bring pancakes, steamed stuffed buns and watermelon over."

"Yes, master." Ling Jiao turned around and left.

Bai Jinli sat there talking with the female guests, with a faint smile on her face.

After waiting for a while, Bai Jinli couldn't help feeling a little uneasy in his heart before Lingjiao brought the three mothers over with their children.

Calculating according to the time, Mother Guo and the others should be here by now.

I don't know why, but it has been delayed until now and has not yet appeared.

Bai Jinli didn't change anything on the surface, but her heart began to feel anxious.

It was at this time that Lingjiao finally appeared with Mother Guo and the others.

However, the sharp-eyed Bai Jinli noticed that the only people who came were Mama Guo and Mama Gu who were holding the baby, that is, the two women who were responsible for taking care of pancakes and steamed stuffed buns.

Mother Li and Little Watermelon did not appear.

Looking at Ling Jiao's expression again, although she looked the same as usual, there was a trace of uneasiness and worry deliberately suppressed in her eyes.

The irritability in Bai Jinli's heart became more and more intense.

"Old madam, master, ladies and gentlemen, servants first ask the two mothers to bring the eldest and second young masters.

Because the young lady had accumulated food when she was eating before, the doctor just said that she has a fever and needs to be dealt with, so it is not convenient to come out now, I hope all the ladies and ladies will forgive me. "

Hearing Lingjiao's words, Mrs. Li immediately stood up anxiously and asked.

"What? My good little granddaughter has a fever? Is it serious? How could this happen?"

"The old lady doesn't need to be too nervous, it's not a serious problem."

"The master's medical skills are so superb, why don't you let the master and the servant go over to help the young lady take a look?" Ling Jiao said.

"Mother, ladies and gentlemen, I'll go and see the little watermelon first, and if I'm all right, I'll bring the little watermelon out to see everyone."

Seeing Bai Jinli get up and say this, everyone nodded in a very reasonable way, expressing their understanding.

When she completely left the reception area and walked to her own yard, Bai Jinli asked anxiously.

"Caltrop, what's wrong?"

"Master, I just found out when I went over that Miss Watermelon is gone."

"What? Why didn't you disappear? Where's Mama Li who took care of her?"

As soon as he heard Lingjiao's words, Bai Jinli suddenly felt that his eyes were darkened, and his chest felt a sudden pain.

But this is not the time to be sad at all, she has to find the little watermelon as soon as possible.

"When we found Li's mother, she had passed out in the kitchen, and she didn't wake up after calling several times."

"The servant asked the government doctor to look at it, but before I had time to inquire about it, I went to the master first."

"Besides, the servant girl also asked Da Huo to call Master Shen Yuan over."

"Well, water chestnut, well done." Bai Jinli couldn't help but praise her.

This is the situation in the White Mansion today, if the news of Little Watermelon's disappearance is announced rashly in front of everyone, it will definitely cause huge waves.

This is not a big problem, she is currently most worried about Little Watermelon's movements.

If the little watermelon is still in the mansion, if the disturbance is too great, it will give the people who do it secretly a chance to sneak away.

But if Little Watermelon has already...

No, it's impossible, she doesn't believe that something will happen to her little watermelon.

"Second fire, come out."

"Master, this subordinate is here." Er Huo, who had been hiding in the White Mansion, hurriedly appeared.

"Immediately notify the secret guards in the White Mansion to block all the entrances to the White Mansion."

"Bring me the people who were guarding the gate just now. I have something to ask them."

"Yes, master."

After Er Huo left in a hurry, Bai Jinli quickened his steps and spoke to Ling Jiao.

"Come on, let's go see Li's mother first."

"Yes."

The two quickly reached the room next to Bai Jinli's room.

Because they have to take care of three babies every day, the three mothers who take care of them also rest in that room.

To be precise, that room was very big, and Bai Jinli specially asked someone to separate three small spaces in that room for the three of them to rest.

When they got there, the government doctor who had just seen Li's mother hurriedly got up and saluted Bai Jinli.

"County Lord."

"Waiting, how is she?" Bai Jinli asked.

"Her condition is not very good, it seems that she was drunk for five days."

"The five-day drunk is an extremely powerful drug. It is almost impossible for people who have taken this drug to wake up within five days."

"In addition, the little one also found that she had several injuries on her body, which seemed to be caused by conflicts with others before, and were caused by mutual pushing."

"Including trauma to the head, the smaller one has been bandaged for her."

"Let me see." Bai Jinli couldn't help pinching Mama Li's pulse.

"Okay, you go down and get busy first. You know what to say about what happened today, right?" Bai Jinli winked at Lingjiao after finishing speaking.

Ling Jiao understood, immediately took out a piece of silver and handed it to the doctor.

The mansion doctor was originally a servant of the White Mansion, and signed an agreement with the White Mansion.

Even if Bai Jinli didn't open his mouth to order, he wouldn't talk casually after he went out.

"Master, there's no need for that. The younger one is from the White Mansion, so he should abide by the rules of the White Mansion."

"The little one was summoned by the water chestnut girl today to help the little lady treat the fever caused by food accumulation."

"However, there is a person with superb medical skills, the county lord, so I am ashamed of myself, so I went back first."

"Well, good, let's go." Bai Jinli nodded.

After the doctor left, Bai Jinli asked Ling Jiao again.

"Have you asked the other two mothers before, is there anything unusual about Li's mother today?"

"Return to the master, I asked, and both Guo's mother and Gu's mother said that there is nothing particularly wrong."

"They are very familiar with Mama Li, and in the past, they would also exchange ideas about taking care of young masters and young ladies."

"Besides, the servants can tell from what they said that Mama Li still loves the young miss very much."

"It was about half an hour ago. They said that Mama Li seemed to have eaten up her stomach and went to the toilet. During this period, they asked them to help take care of the little lady."

"Then after Mother Li came back, she seemed to talk less."

"Not long after, the little lady suddenly cried, and Li's mother carried the little lady and walked out."

"It is said that the young lady may have slept a lot. She took the young lady to the yard for a walk to relax and do some activities."

"Then, the little lady disappeared. They were about to call for someone when the slaves came over."

"Where did you find Mama Li when she passed out?" Bai Jinli continued to ask.

"It's near the back door."

"..."

"Well, water chestnut, go and get my little medicine chest."

"Yes."

After Bai Jinli took the medicine box from Lingjiao, he opened his mouth to give instructions again.

"Lingjiao, you go outside and guard for me, no one can come in."

"Yes."

When there were only Bai Jinli and Mama Li left in the room, Bai Jinli hurriedly prepared to wake Mama Li up.

If she could wake up Mama Li in the shortest possible time, and hear from her what happened and who stole the little watermelon, it would save a lot of investigation time.

Presumably by now Lin Chenyuan has also received the news of Little Watermelon's disappearance and started to investigate.

So she didn't care about that issue for now.
