incense as a medium

Chapter 17

When Liu Bailu woke up slowly, it was already late at night, and Liu Sushi was sitting on the bedside crying and her eyes were swollen.

"Mother." Liu Bailu opened his mouth and called, and he was startled when he opened his mouth. His throat hurt so badly that he couldn't tell if it was his own voice.

"Stop talking," Liu Su hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "Shuangjiang! Bring the medicine in! Yuniang, hurry up! Porridge! You can't take medicine on an empty stomach!"

The birth of Liu Su was heard by everyone in the courtyard. Qin stepped into the door wrapped in a white fox cloak, looked at Liu Bailu's face, and said, "My sister is awake. Go to the capital and ask the Zhou family for an explanation."

With Liu Su's support, Liu Bailu sat up and looked at Qin indifferently: "What do you mean by sister-in-law?"

Qin's face showed worry, but his eyes were full of hopeful expressions, and said: "My sister was divorced by the Zhou family. My sister-in-law knew that my sister was unhappy, so she kept it in her heart. Today I met you on the street. Miss Fang and Mr. Zhou just fainted in a fit of rage. It’s just that my younger sister vomited blood at a young age. If the root is injured, why don’t I ask the Zhou family for an explanation?”

Liu Su's tears fell again from Qin's words, Liu Bailu took up the handkerchief to wipe Liu Su's tears, and said angrily: "Sister-in-law, please be careful when you speak! How can I be good if I frighten my mother? What Vomiting blood? I just bitten my lip in a fit of anger. The doctor who was invited didn’t take a closer look, so how would he know that my mouth was bitten?"

As Liu Bailu said, she turned her lips to show Liu Su, and Liu Su hurriedly stopped crying, and when she saw the bloody piece of blood on the inside of Liu Bailu's lower lip, she shed tears again, and hurriedly told Shuang Jiang : "Go and get the golden sore medicine! Go! The yellow gourd bottle in my box is that bottle!"

Shuang Jiang had just entered the house to put down the medicine, and then ran out in a hurry. Last time Liu Bailu used the golden sore medicine for his hand injury, so Shuang Jiang found the golden sore medicine easily.

When Qin looked at the golden sore medicine, she couldn't help feeling sour: "Mother really loves my younger sister more. Last year, Sui Zongze's forehead was injured, and my mother was not willing to take out this bottle of medicine."

Mrs. Liu Su personally brought water for Liu Bailu to rinse her mouth. Seeing that so much time had passed and there was still so much blood in her mouth, she felt very distressed. When she heard Mrs. Qin's yin and yang words again, she would not be angry Come: "This golden sore medicine does not leave scars after being used. Bailu is a girl, so gold is more expensive. What's the point of having a scar for a boy in Zongze? Didn't your mother-in-law hold you in the palm of your hand when you were unmarried?"

The Qin family can also be considered to be from a famous family. In this powerful family, the daughters are all pampered, and even the concubine daughters are raised with rich clothes and good food.

Liu Su's words were speechless when Qin's said, she glared at Liu Bailu angrily, turned and walked out, met Liu Zimo at the door who was looking into the house, reluctantly stopped Stepping back to the bedroom, he said, "Mother, third brother, please see me."

"What is he here for?" Liu Su frowned, glanced at Shi Chen, and said, "Your father is coming back soon, let him talk to your father later."

"Yes." Qin Shi saluted, and went to the door to talk to Liu Zimo.

But Liu Zimo didn't dare to bargain with Liu Junge, and beat Qin Shi at the door: "Sister-in-law, please help me pass the message again."

Qin Shi went out from the other side of the door impatiently, and said: "Mother has already said, and I have something to talk to my father about. Are you also allowed to enter the boudoir of your daughter's house?"

Liu Zimo said unconvinced: "Didn't Zhang San and the others go in when my sister was taking a bath a few days ago? They also saw her arm, why? Now that my sister is lying on the bed, I can't see her?"

"Third brother!" Even though Qin Shi doesn't like Liu Bailu, she understands the truth of this family's prosperity. study!"

Liu Zimo, however, turned his head away and looked into the inner room, gloating in his mouth: "My sister vomited blood and fell ill today. If I go to the academy, who will bring food to my father? Can't father eat cold steamed buns? I'd rather not go, and wait until my sister recovers."

Qin cast a glance at Liu Zimo, and said coldly: "I don't care whether you go to the academy or not, but don't talk nonsense outside, what good will the Liu family do if you ruin your sister's reputation? Marry your own daughter in? Can you still get a daughter-in-law?"

After Qin finished speaking, she flicked her sleeves and turned around to leave, but saw two people standing in the yard, Qin's complexion changed, and then she walked quickly to the middle of the yard and knelt down and said, "My daughter-in-law has seen my father and General Kang. "

Kang Yibang nodded, and turned his face away from Qin's.

Liu Junge glared at Liu Zimo with a cold face, and asked Qin: "What's wrong with the egret? How did the third brother say that the egret vomited blood?"

Mrs. Qin leaned back and said, "My sister went out once today, and she was sent back by sister-in-law of the Lin family. My daughter-in-law doesn't know the specific situation, but Xiang Bo went out with my sister, so I think he knows what happened. As for my sister vomiting blood, but It was my sister who was angry and bit her lip."

Liu Junge nodded, but he didn't ask Mrs. Qin to call Xiang Bolai for questioning, he just said: "General Kang is here to send the gift, you go and check it and put it in the warehouse."

"Yes." Mrs. Qin bowed her knees to agree, then bowed her knees to Kang Yibang to leave, and then asked Mrs. Bai to accompany her before going to the door.

The gates of the houses in Lihua Lane are relatively narrow, and larger cars cannot get in. Kang Yibang sent a lot of ritual gifts, so Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Bai began to count the rituals under the envious eyes of the neighbors, and then let Xiang Bo Move all the things in the car into the house with Yu Niang. .

The sister-in-law of the Lin family stood at the door, looking at the succulent green vegetables with envy: "General Kang is really kind to your family. Not to mention the festival gifts every year, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival also often send things."

Mrs. Qin smiled, grabbed a large handful of vegetables and stuffed them into the hands of Lin's sister-in-law, saying: "Today, more sister-in-laws will help and send my sister back. These trivial things are not respect, so I hope you don't dislike them."

"How come, how come, it's a rare thing in this cold weather." How could the sister-in-law of the Lin family not understand Qin's meaning?This is to ask her not to tell the story about Qi Peiyun hugging Liu Bailu, but everyone has seen it, even if she doesn't talk too much, people will know, but if she has advantages, don't take advantage of the bastard, she Smiling, he hurriedly wrapped the vegetables in his jacket, then patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I won't talk too much."

Qin shi was relieved, and gave another gift to Lin's sister-in-law before turning around and continuing to count things with Bai shi.

The sister-in-law of the Lin family got a good deal, and the sister-in-law of the Li family over there said jealously: "I don't know where there are so many vegetables in this military camp."

Mrs. Bai glanced at Li's sister-in-law, and said with a sneer: "If sister-in-law wants to eat, just say so. After all, we are also in the hands of the master. The master has always had a good reputation in the court, and he has old friends with the Kang family. That's why General Kang sends gifts here every year, it's just some duty exchanges between the aristocratic families."

As Bai Shi said, she grabbed a large handful of leeks and stuffed them to Li's sister-in-law, and then said to Qin Shi: "Grandma, why don't you give some to every family?"

This is the usual practice in previous years. When the Liu family got a gift, they would take some rare and not expensive things and scatter them with the neighbors. Qin Shi nodded, and Bai Shi turned around and went to the kitchen to get a vegetable basket. Neighbors in Lihua Lane delivered food door to door.

Here Liu Junge heard that his precious daughter was injured, so it is not good to stay in Kang Yibang, he cupped his hands and said: "General, I have something to do at home, it is inconvenient to entertain the general today, please forgive me for being rude."

Kang Yibang looked at the east wing, then turned back his gaze calmly, and said with a smile: "Miss Liu is also considered to be the one I grew up with. She is injured, so I should greet her."

"This..." Liu Junge glanced at Kang Yibang with an uncertain expression, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Then please wait for a while, general."

"It's okay." Kang Yibang nodded with a smile.

Liu Junge pleaded guilty, and invited Kang Yibang to drink tea in the main room, changed his clothes, and then went to the east room to visit Liu Bailu.

Liu Bailu didn't want to say some things, but Shuangjiang told Liu Junge exactly what he had heard from his father Xiang Bo without any scruples, and finally said angrily, "Master, Miss Fang and Young Master Zhou are really serious. It's too deceiving!"

Liu Junge was stunned for a while, and sighed: "I'm the one who made you tired."

Liu Bailu quickly glared at Shuangjiang, sat up straight, and said with a smile: "What did the father say? We are a family, why is it troublesome? The daughter is fine, but the father should relax. The doctor said everything It's a bluff, the daughter didn't take the divorce matter to heart, she just got angry after hearing Fang Yu's words today. Doesn't the father know about the daughter's temper?"

Hearing what she said, Liu Junge felt relieved. Remembering that Kang Yibang was still waiting in the living room, he said, "General Kang heard that you were injured and wanted to come and see you. Would you like to see me?"

Kang Yibang?
Liu Bailu frowned slightly. She was very familiar with this name, but her impression of this person was extremely weak. She wondered, "Why does General Kang want to see me?"

Liu Junge stroked his beard, shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but General Kang suddenly mentioned that you are also regarded as the one he watched growing up, so it's not easy for people to refuse."

General Kang is only five years older than Liu Bailu. He said that he watched him grow up. Another subtext is that the two are "childhood sweethearts". Liu Bailu was slightly displeased, but he also knew why Liu Junge came in and asked himself There was a sound.

She stood up and said, "In that case, it's better for my daughter to go see her. I also ask my father to tell General Kang, and I will take my daughter with me for a while."

It would be great to be able to go out to meet guests, but Liu Junge was still worried about his daughter's health: "Is your body okay?"

Liu Bailu: "It's just a moment of anger and passed out. It's not a serious illness. It will recover soon. Besides, my daughter just drank the medicine. Father, don't worry."

Liu Junge carefully looked at Liu Bailu's face, seeing that she was in good spirits and her complexion was much ruddy, so he went out with peace of mind.

Liu Su helped her daughter get off the bed, and said: "If you are weak, don't force yourself."

"I'm fine, mother." Liu Bailu's eyes swept around the room, but he didn't see his brocade box, and thought something was wrong in his heart. When Shuang Jiang brought her clothes and came to dress, she fell in love with it. There was something strange in the skirt of the clothes, she frowned slightly, suppressed the doubts in her heart, and let Liu Sushi and Shuangjiang dress herself up.
