Chapter 178 Do you want to go to Bai Qingli's appointment (1)
There was also a table in her room, but it was much quieter than the atmosphere outside. Sitting at this table were sisters Mu Wenhong, brother and sister Bai Qingli, mother and son Ling Muchen, and Shangguan Shijin.

Shangguan Shijin didn't leave!Gu Xiaobei looked at Shangguan Shijin inside in surprise.

"Xiaobei, come quickly, if you don't come we'll eat it up." Mu Wenhong, who was sharp-eyed in the room, greeted Gu Xiaobei immediately when he saw him.

Everyone turned their heads to see that when they saw Gu Xiaobei, they all smiled and beckoned her to come in: "Come and eat, where did you go just now? We couldn't find you when we went looking for you. Waiting for you."

Gu Xiaobei walked in and said with a smile, "I just went to the kitchen to do something." As she said that, she took a small stool from the ground beside her and walked to the table.

"Sit here." "Sit here is fine." Everyone made room for her, even Bai Qingli and Shangguan Shijin, who had been silent all this time, didn't speak, but they all made room for her. .

Gu Xiaobei pointed to the place next to Mu Caixia with a smile, and said with a smile: "I'll just sit here, just in time to feed Xiaobao, I'll bother Miss Caixia all morning."

"Alright." "Where is sitting?" Everyone nodded.

Next to Mu Caixia were Bai Qiaoer and Mu Wenhong, who gave her the same seat as Bai Qingli and Shangguan Shijin. Shangguan Shijin and Bai Qingli sat up straight and ate food in silence.

"It's okay, although Xiaobao likes to move but doesn't like to cry, it's easier to carry." Mu Caixia said with a smile, when she saw Gu Xiaobei just sat down, Xiaobao stretched out her fat and short little hands, moaning and begging Gu Xiaobei to hug her. , she couldn't help teasing: "Look, as soon as Xiaobei sat down, Xiaobao couldn't wait to throw himself into Xiaobei's arms. He really is the younger brother who often follows Xiaobei. His closest relative is Xiaobei. .”

Bai Qingli immediately smiled and said: "Of course, people who are often together are of course closer, not something outsiders can compare."

Hearing this, Shangguan Shijin paused with the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Bai Qingli who was sitting next to him as if nothing, then turned back and continued to eat his own expressionlessly.

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Bai Qiaoer thought that what Bai Qingli said was aimed at Mu Caixia, and immediately gave her brother a dissatisfied look.

"I'm telling the truth." Bai Qingli said flatly, "This is something that no one can avoid."

Bai Qiaoer was about to continue arguing with him but Mu Caixia interrupted her. Mu Caixia smiled and said: "Master Bai is right, which child in the village is not like this? I was just joking about Xiaobao."

Bai Qiaoer stopped talking, turned around and said to Gu Xiaobei with a smile: "Xiaobei, my father is here too, I really appreciate your family's banquet, if it wasn't for your family's banquet, my father probably wouldn't go out all the time .”

"Really? Where is it?" Gu Xiaobei said in surprise.

"Brother Datian took him to the old doctor's table." Bai Qiaoer said with a smile.

"That's good." Gu Xiaobei nodded with a smile, and continued to ask: "Did you send the food to the silly girl?"

In the midst of her busy schedule just now, she saw Bai Qiaoer coming again, so she ordered the kitchen to bring some food for Bai Qiaoer back to the silly aunt and the others, and then walked away. I don't know if the people in the kitchen helped Bai Qiaoer bring the food to Bai Qiaoer. , so there is this question.

"I asked those two maids to send it away." Bai Qiaoer nodded.

"That's good." Gu Xiaobei said with a smile, then looked at Shangguan Shijin who had been silent all this time and asked: "Shangguan, your servant has been here for a long time, and he must be very hungry, did you come in for a banquet?"

Shangguan Shijin was taken aback for a moment, and slowly raised his head to look at Gu Xiaobei, a complex light flashed in his eyes, and he said softly after a long time: "Oh, Brother Datian, go and ask them to come in and eat."

Seeing him talking, Gu Xiaobei finally let go of his nervousness, and said with a smile, "That's good."

"Just eat, don't worry about it, you don't need to worry about those things, someone will do it!"

Gu Xiaobei's hands froze, as if he couldn't hear Bai Qingli's words, he didn't react to his words, and continued talking and laughing with others.

Seeing that Gu Xiaobei was ignoring him, the light in Bai Qingli's eyes dimmed, she pursed her lips, picked up the wine glass and said to Shangguan Shijin with a half-smile: "Eating banquet, eating banquet, how can there be no wine, my master invited Mr. Shangguan Discuss."

Gu Xiaobei frowned, and glanced at Bai Qingli unhappily, this guy is not addicted to alcohol, it was obviously intentional to invite Shangguan Shijin to have a drink with him today, it was clearly a kind of provocation.She looked away and looked at Shangguan Shijin, seeing that Shangguan Shijin was still chewing the food in his mouth methodically, she felt at ease. Invitation, then Bai Qingli has nothing to do with him, at most he can only say a few words of cynicism.

"Okay." Just when Gu Xiaobei thought that Shangguan Shijin didn't answer, Shangguan Shijin swallowed the food in his mouth, looked at Bai Qingli with a half-smile, agreed, raised the cup in his hand and drank it first Had a glass.

"Cheer up!" Bai Qingli's mouth curled up slightly, and he also tilted his head up to drink the glass of wine in his hand.

The two of them didn't talk too much, they came and went and drank in silence.Everyone felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, but they couldn't figure out what was going on. They could only persuade them to eat more vegetables and not drink too much wine from time to time, but the two ignored them. They had no choice but to let them go.

They had just eaten for a while when Bai Qingli's father, Bai Kuotian, walked in.

"Uncle Bai, why don't you go to the banquet?" Gu Xiaobei hurriedly stood up and greeted him.

Bai Kuotian glanced at Bai Qingli who was drinking with Shangguan Shijin, smiled and said to Gu Xiaobei: "I've eaten, I'll go back now, girl, come out for a while, the old man has a few words to tell you."

Gu Xiaobei hurriedly handed Xiaobao over to Mu Caixia for help, and then followed Bai Kuotian out. Bai Kuotian walked out of the courtyard without saying a word and stopped when he saw no one outside. He looked at Gu Xiaobei and said straight to the point: "Thank you for your time The care of our family."

"It's nothing, we all help each other, and Qiao'er and Bai Qingli have also helped our family a lot." Gu Xiaobei said with a smile.

"Well, you are all good boys." Bai Kuotian nodded and continued: "Do you like Bai Qingli?"

Gu Xiaobei was dumbfounded, she really didn't expect Bai Kuotian to ask about this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, she looked around in embarrassment, but she didn't speak.

Bai Kuotian understood a little, smiled and took out a crystal-clear scarlet jade pendant carved with similar phoenix birds and auspicious clouds from his bosom, and stuffed it into Gu Xiaobei's hand: "This is for you."

As soon as Gu Xiaobei came into contact with this warm jade, she didn't need to look carefully to know that it was valuable, so she hurriedly handed it back: "This thing is too expensive, I can't take it."
