After spending most of the day in contact with Aunt An, Bai Yanqing intuitively felt that Aunt An would be qualified for the position of housekeeper of the White House. Seeing that she gets along well with everyone in the Bai family, treats people well, and is considerate, she is better than Bai Yanqing.
Bai Yanqing secretly appreciated it in her heart, but didn't show much on her face.
After lunch, Bai Yanqing was about to take a nap when she heard the concierge announcing that Bai Shiheng's family was about to arrive.
"Auntie is coming soon? Cai Xing, hurry up, hurry up, change my clothes for me!"
As soon as she heard that her aunt was about to arrive, Bai Yanqing hurriedly called Cai Xing and asked her to help her dress up.
"Let me do it!"
Caixing ran over in a hurry, wiped her hands, and was about to help Bai Yanqing dress up, but was stopped by Aunt An.
Seeing this, Cai Xing silently stepped aside. For some reason, Cai Xing had an inexplicable sense of trust in Aunt An. She intuitively felt that Aunt An's craftsmanship must be as good as hers!
I saw Aunt An divide a few strands of Bai Yanqing's hair into strands and tie them on the top of her head so that they can hang down naturally. She also tied the ends and let them hang on her shoulders. Leave two strands of black hair behind the ears, embed them with ribbons, and braid them into two strands, hanging down on the chest. Finally, put a few red hairpins on the top of the hairpin, which makes the person even more agile and charming!
"Choose this one for your clothes!"
A goose-yellow skirt and coat embroidered with chrysanthemums perfectly complements the autumn mood. Wearing it on Bai Yanqing, it is both elegant and pretty.
"Aunt An's craftsmanship is indeed much better than Caixing!"
Bai Yanqing stood up and walked around in front of the bronze mirror several times. Even she couldn't help but praise Aunt An's craftsmanship.
"Young lady is so beautiful, these... are just the icing on the cake!"
Aunt An said modestly, looking at the beautiful girl in front of her, her eyes were full of joy.
"You two come with me to see my little aunt!"
Bai Yanqing straightened her clothes and felt very good, so she happily said to Aunt An and Cai Xing.
Aunt An nodded in response, looking neither humble nor arrogant. Naturally, Cai Xing was so happy that she wanted to jump up and down!
After Bai Yanqing ordered someone to notify Bai Shiheng and his son, he took Cai Xing and Aunt An to meet her little aunt at the gate of Bai Mansion.
When Bai Yanqing arrived, Bai Shiheng and his son also trotted over.
"Auntie is here!"
Bai Yanqing looked at the approaching carriage and shouted happily to Bai Shiheng and his son.
Finally, the carriage stopped, but Bai Shiheng couldn't wait. He stepped forward, lifted the curtain of the carriage, raised his hand to support the woman in the carriage, and told the other party to be careful. With that posture, he was afraid that the people in the carriage would bump into each other. Touch.
When Bai Shiheng supported the people in the carriage and landed on the ground, Bai Yanqing could finally see the true face of this legendary aunt.
"My little aunt is exactly what my uncle said, she is gentle, elegant and beautiful."
Bai Yanqing stepped forward quickly and reached out to steady the woman in front of her. There was no trace of displeasure on her face.
"With such a sweet little mouth, it must be Yan Qing! Your little uncle has already praised you thousands of times in his letters!"
The woman held Bai Yanqing's hand, her face full of joy.
"This is my wife, Li Qinru."
Bai Shiheng took Li Qinru's hand and introduced him happily to everyone.
Bai Yanqing looked at Bai Shiheng and his wife. They were very harmonious and felt happy. No wonder Bai Junzhi had such a good temper. It turned out to be because he had such a pair of gentle and kind parents!
"My aunt was not in a good mood, so I didn't call her over. When she feels better, I will send someone to invite her over to meet my little aunt. I hope my little aunt won't mind her!"
Bai Furong was not in a happy mood because of Ren's incident, and Bai Yanqing knew it. Therefore, when Li Qinru entered the house today, she only asked someone to deliver a message to Lai Bizhi, but did not force Bai Furong to come over.
Li Qinru naturally expressed her understanding. Although she didn't know much about the Bai family, since she married Bai Shiheng, she had heard some things about the Bai family from his mouth. Therefore, she did not force Bai Shiheng, the second sister, to come.
Welcome her! Bai Shiheng was originally a concubine. It was said that it was a great benefit for the head of the Bai family to treat their family with such courtesy! It was too late for Li Qinru to be moved, how could he think of anything else?
When Bai Yanqing looked at this little aunt, she felt that she was a well-educated and courteous person, so she treated her with extra courtesy. If it were those ungrateful people, she wouldn't be so polite!
Bai Jingxuan was busy with official duties and was not in the palace. The matter of welcoming Li Qinru naturally fell on Bai Yanqing. Therefore, Bai Yanqing had people prepare it two days earlier. All the basic necessities of life including food, clothing, housing and transportation have been thought of for Li Qinru! Therefore, after Li Qinru entered the house, there was nothing uncomfortable about it.
"My aunt and uncle are here today. How about... Junzhi will discuss his own affairs with them?"
Since Bai Junzhi's parents are here, Bai Yanqing of course wants Bai Junzhi to talk to them about his thoughts. After all, if Bai Junzhi wants to join the army, he must obtain the consent of Bai Shiheng and his wife.
"He has already told me about Junzhi. I don't quite agree with him taking risks."
Bai Shiheng frowned slightly, seemingly reluctantly.
Bai Yanqing understood that most families who had no worries about food and clothing would not want their children to take risks on the battlefield. These were within Bai Yanqing's expectations.
"Father, I have no interest in your business! This is not my ambition, so just let me go and find my own future!"
It was rare for Bai Junzhi to muster up the courage to refute Bai Shiheng. Before, he was huddled behind Bai Shiheng every day.
Seeing the argument between his father and son, Bai Yanqing felt a little sorry for Bai Shiheng.
"Uncle, please stop arguing. I blame me for not thinking carefully about this matter! I thought that my younger brother Junzhi liked it, so I agreed to recommend him to the military camp! I didn't consider the situation of your two elders! If you , If you really can’t let go of your brother Zhi, then let’s drop this matter!”
Bai Yanqing stepped forward, took Bai Junzhi's hand, and patted it gently to express comfort. At this time, she didn't want Bai Junzhi to get into trouble with his parents.
"When Junzhi grows up, it is up to him to decide his future. As parents, we are only giving you a reference!"
Li Qinru, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, and everyone present was stunned.
Li Qinru means, does he agree with Bai Junzhi joining the army?
"Qinru, you..."
Bai Shiheng obviously did not expect that Li Qinru, who had always loved his son the most, would choose a different stance from him at this time.
"To tell you the truth, our family Junzhi has been dull and talkative since he was a child. When he was a child, even the kids from the neighbor's house next door bullied him, but he didn't say a word! As a mother, I have always felt that he should be left alone by the two of us. Only by protecting him can he grow up! But now, he has only been in the White House for just a few days, but his temperament has changed greatly! This change is what I, as a mother, are most happy to see!"
Li Qinru stepped forward, holding Bai Yanqing's hand with one hand and Bai Junzhi's hand with the other, with a look of relief on his face. She could feel that Bai Junzhi was different from before!
In the past, when Bai Junzhi was in his hometown in Huzhou, he was taciturn and dull-tempered. He didn't like to talk to others, let alone dare to speak against his father! His submissive temperament often worries Li Qinru. I'm afraid that when he grows up, he will be so easy to be bullied! But now it seems that her Junzhi is not such a weak person. He is brave and courageous, dares to think and do, and dares to find a future for himself. This is something that even Li Qinru finds incredible!
"Junzhi, mother is very happy, you have finally grown up!"
Li Qinru looked at the twelve-year-old boy in front of her with smiles in her eyes and had mixed feelings in her heart.
"Shiheng, Junzhi has grown up, we should let him go and let him find his own future!"
Li Qinru turned her head, looked at Bai Shiheng who was a little unhappy, and comforted her softly.
Bai Yanqing admired Li Qinru's openness. She originally thought that the first person to oppose Bai Junzhi joining the army would be Li Qinru, a mother! After all, what mother in the world would be willing to let her son join the army and endure hardships? Especially after joining the army, if you don't pay attention, you may even lose your life.
danger!
"Thank you, mother!"
Bai Junzhi suddenly knelt down again and kowtowed to Li Qinru. Even Bai Yanqing was shocked. Why does this child love kowtowing to others so much?
"Sister Yan Qing said that there is gold under a man's knees. Kneel down to heaven, kneel to the ground, kneel to the king, and kneel to your parents. Today's son will not be considered an insult to his sister!"
Bai Junzhi's respectful look is a bit childish, but people can still feel his firmness and determination!
Hearing this, Li Qin and his wife couldn't help but look back at Bai Yanqing. It can be seen that Bai Junzhi's changes in the past few days are inseparable from Bai Yanqing!
"Get up quickly! I didn't tell you to kneel down at every turn? Uncle and aunt should blame me later!"
Bai Yanqing teased Bai Junzhi while reaching out to pull him up. This kid, Bai Junzhi, is still honest and has a good heart. This is rare! It was precisely because of this that Bai Yanqing was willing to help him!
"Mom, look, this is what Sister Yan Qing gave me!"
As if offering a treasure, Bai Junzhi took out the dagger from his waist!
Li Qinru and his wife have been in business for many years and have seen countless rare objects of all kinds. But when Bai Junzhi took out the dagger, both of them could see that this dagger was really a rare treasure! Not to mention that the dagger is in the shape of a dragon, just the gems on the dagger can be seen. It is a priceless treasure!
"It would be a waste to give such a valuable thing to Jun Zhike!"
Li Qinru took the dagger and carefully wiped it with a silk handkerchief. The shiny dagger made her unable to take her eyes away!
"No matter how good a thing is, there must be someone worthy of it, right? How can I, a daughter of a family, carry a sharp blade like a dagger with me? Isn't that going to scare away those good men?"
Bai Yanqing joked with a smile.
As for whether the dagger was rare or not, she naturally knew it very well. She took it out and gave it to Bai Junzhi. Firstly, it was because she liked this cousin and it was regarded as a meeting gift. Secondly, it can be considered that I am grateful to Bai Shiheng for solving the problem for Bai Mansion this time.
"Yan Qing is very thoughtful, but we, as elders, have been negligent. We don't have a good greeting gift... right now!"
Li Qinru's face flashed with embarrassment. The couple really didn't expect this. Ordinarily, as uncle and aunt, they should be given some greeting gifts as uncle and aunt when they meet Bai Yanqing, their niece, whom they haven't seen for so many years. But not only did they forget, but they also let Bai Yanqing take the initiative and give Bai Junzhi such a great gift. No matter how you say it, it can't be justified, and they can't help but feel a little ashamed.
"Auntie said this, but she is out of touch. We are all a family, so why should we talk about being polite? I like my brother Junzhi. As a sister, if you give your brother a small thing, why should you value it so much? "
Bai Yanqing held Li Qinru's hand enthusiastically and spoke softly to ease her embarrassment.
"If Auntie really thinks that the gift I gave Jun Zhi is valuable, how about... Auntie also gives me a greeting gift? I have long heard from my uncle that Auntie's Huzhou cuisine is excellent. How about I ask Auntie to cook some of her specialty dishes for us?"
Bai Yanqing knew that if she didn't put this matter aside, according to the temperament of Bai Shiheng and his wife, they would be so worried that they couldn't sleep, and they would also think about giving themselves a big gift, so she took the initiative to ask Li Qin for help.
When Li Qinru heard this, she smiled again and responded repeatedly.
