Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it’s the annual Mid-Autumn Festival.
Early that morning, the entire White House was busy! Now, Bai Yanqing is in charge of the internal affairs of the Bai Mansion for the time being, so she has to work harder than usual! On the Mid-Autumn Festival, I have to get up earlier than usual in order to deal with matters in the house!
"Miss, someone came to the door of the house, saying they were sending crabs from Huzhou!"
Cai Xing's busy footsteps touched the ground, and he was sweating profusely while running.
"Crab?"
Bai Yanqing was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Li Qinru had said before that people would send more crabs from Huzhou to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival!
So, Bai Yanqing hurriedly took Cai Xing and ran to Bai Shiheng's courtyard to find Li Qinru.
"Little aunt, someone is coming from Huzhou. Come with me and have a look to see if they are the people you sent."
After Bai Yanqing found Li Qinru, she pulled her and ran towards the door of the house. After the two of them saw the person delivering crabs at the door of the house, they confirmed that Li Qinru recognized him, and then unloaded a carriage full of crabs!
"Little aunt...can I ask you for a reward? Can you give me a box of crabs? I want to give it away..."
Bai Yanqing took Li Qinru's arm and said coquettishly.
"You girl! There are so many crabs, how can we all eat them all in the White House? If you want, take a few more boxes! Leave a few boxes and I will make crab roe cakes for you!"
Li Qinru smiled and tapped Bai Yanqing's forehead, but she was no longer as lively as before. Now, her relationship with Bai Yanqing is quite harmonious.
Li Qinru only had a son and no daughter in Bai Junzhi, but now she really treats Bai Yanqing as her own daughter! Not to mention a few boxes of crabs, on weekdays, if she has anything delicious, fun, or useful, she will stick to Bai Yanqing first! Sometimes even Bai Junzhi would joke, saying that now his mother only loves her cousin!
Bai Yanqing was overjoyed to receive Li Qinru's approval! She hurriedly asked Cai Xing to fill a large food box full of crabs and take them back to her yard!
"Why do you want so many crabs, Miss? We can't finish them all!"
Caixing was carrying the heavy food box, feeling very puzzled. Her young lady has a weak spleen and stomach, so naturally she cannot eat so many crabs. There are only four people left in the courtyard: herself, Aunt An, Aunt Li, and Aunt Zhao. How can she eat so many crabs?
"Who said we were left to eat alone?"
Bai Yanqing rolled her eyes at Cai Xing, "This girl knows how to eat!"
The two of them ran back to Nianchu Xiaozhu quickly, and then Bai Yanqing called Aunt An over!
"Aunt An, please send this box of crabs to the Ji family immediately!"
Bai Yanqing pulled Aunt An and whispered to her.
Aunt An was stunned: Send it to the Ji family?
"The crabs from Huzhou are rare! We rarely see them in the capital. Today, Huzhou sent many. I picked a box of the biggest and most abundant ones. You can send them to the General's Mansion for me! You are new here He is from the Bai Mansion. Others may look at him as unfamiliar and not eye-catching. You can send him there when you leave the house, so he won’t attract anyone’s attention!”
Bai Yanqing took the food box from Cai Xing and hurriedly stuffed it into Aunt An's hand!
The crabs that Li Qinru brought over before were not in large quantities, and Bai Yanqing was too shy to ask for them out of shame. Now, dozens of boxes of crabs have arrived from Huzhou, and Bai Yanqing has to give some to her grandfather and family no matter what. Uncle, try something new!
Over the years, thanks to the help of the Ji family, Bai Yanqing was able to grow up safely and smoothly. Bai Yanqing will always remember this kindness in her heart.
Previously, Ji Nanjing teased Bai Yanqing that she would not think about her grandfather's family when she returned to the Bai Mansion. In fact, this was not the case. Bai Yanqing never forgot her grandfather and uncle's family! However, the relationship between the Bai family and the Ji family was sensitive, so she couldn't mention it in front of others, so she could only whisper to Cai Xing in private!
Not to mention that the Bai family was originally a noble family, and Bai Yanqing didn't have anything rare to give to the Ji family. Let's talk about Ji Jinxiu, who has been in business for many years and has a strong family background. What kind of treasure has he not seen? Where can there be anything that can make him look into his heart?
But this crab is different
, although it is not a rare treasure, it is Bai Yanqing’s true heart! This thing is not common in the capital, and it coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival. Who doesn’t want to take a bite of the plump, tender, meaty, delicious crabs in autumn? Bai Yanqing is not a greedy person, but even she thinks that if she is full of praise, it must be the best! Being able to give this best to her most respected grandfather and uncle, as well as her favorite cousin, is what makes her happiest!
Aunt An took the food box from Bai Yanqing's hand, opened it and took a look. The food box was full of crabs, stuffed tightly! After careful counting, there are more than dozens of them! Then she sighed in her heart, how could this little girl ask for a box of crabs from her little aunt? Is she... maybe she put several boxes of crabs into one box?
"Miss! You... why did you carry so much weight just now! How can this be a box of crabs? How many crabs did you take from the third lady?"
Cai Xing was also stunned by the box full of crabs in front of him! When she was carrying it, she felt something was wrong. Why was the food box she was carrying seemed so heavy?
Caixing carefully recalled what Bai Yanqing was doing next to the carriage just now! At that time, Li Qinru was talking to the person who delivered the crabs, while Bai Yanqing was alone, leaving the mining star behind, and stepped forward to pick the crabs! Cai Xing was not too close, and she watched Bai Yanqing bend over and pick and choose for a long time. She only thought that her young lady was going to pick a box of the best ones, but she never expected that her young lady, I actually picked up several boxes of crabs into one food box! There are several thick layers! I really don’t know what the third lady will think when she checks the food box!
Bai Yanqing pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at Caixing: This is just a box! Where is the second food box? We say just take one box, and never take the second box!
"Aunt An, send it over quickly! The crabs are still alive right now! If it's too late, they'll all be dead! It will affect the taste!"
Bai Yanqing didn't care about it anymore, urging Aunt An and pushing her out. Aunt An had no choice but to pick up the food box and speed up her pace!
Aunt An hurriedly hurried and finally fulfilled her mission. She delivered the crabs to Ji's house before the crabs had a chance to catch their breath.
"Thankfully, sister Yan Qing can still think of me as my cousin! I'm really touched!"
Ji Nanjing took the food box from Aunt An's hand and was so excited that tears filled her eyes.
"You're overthinking it, Yan Qing said, these are specially left for my grandfather and uncle!"
Aunt An handed over the food box and couldn't help but add this sentence. This sentence was originally what Bai Yanqing asked her to bring to the Ji family! Most likely, she still remembered Ji Nanjing's previous hatred of avoiding him.
"This girl is quite vindictive!"
Of course Ji Nanjing knew what Aunt An meant by these words. It was probably the little girl who specifically told her. With her vengeful temperament, how could Ji Nanjing not know her? However, Ji Nanjing didn't bother to argue with her. Who made her the apple of the eye of the two old men in the family?
"She also said that if you were injured a while ago, you shouldn't touch these cold things. In the future, when your body recovers and you want to eat, she will ask someone to bring it to you!"
Seeing Ji Nanjing's face full of anger, Aunt An covered her mouth and chuckled, and then said the second half of the sentence.
"Can you stop gasping when you speak? I know that our Yan Qing is not the heartless one. She still feels sorry for my brother!"
Hearing this, Ji Nanjing's handsome face finally showed a smug expression!
Afterwards, Aunt An handed Ji Nanjing a small porcelain vase, saying that it was given to him by Bai Yanqing. Ji Nanjing took the small porcelain bottle, uncorked it, and smelled it. It was the familiar smell of medicinal materials. It was the same as the bottle of medicine that Bai Yanqing gave him earlier! It can be seen that Bai Yanqing still feels sorry for Ji Nanjing. She knows that he is injured and is afraid that he will be greedy and eat too much, so she asks Aunt An to give him words and medicine, so that he can be taken care of in peace and don't get out of trouble again. A moth!
After accepting the things Bai Yanqing sent, Ji Nanjing ordered someone to secretly escort Aunt An back to the Bai family!
"Master, do you want to find out the background of Aunt An?"
In the darkness of the street corner, there are two figures hiding. One of them is facing the other.
The taller man said.
"No need, she is not a threat to the Bai family and Ji family. Besides, Bai Jingxuan is already checking her out, so we don't have to work hard! Just sit back and enjoy the results!"
Another one, the old god responded on the ground. He was not uncurious about Aunt An's identity, but since someone was checking it out, why did he need to bother? It’s just a waste of manpower!
As for the Ji family, when General Ji and Ji Jinxiu learned that Bai Yanqing personally sent so many crabs to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, they were so excited that they burst into tears. Their words and deeds were no more exaggerated than Ji Nanjing's. Difference! I wish I could hold Bai Yanqing around three times in my arms!
Ji Nanjing really didn't have the eyes to look at them. Together, the two old men were almost a hundred years old. How could they be so excited over a few crabs? While Ji Nanjing carefully protected the small porcelain vase in his hand, he ordered his servants to quickly steam the crabs, lest his father, his grandfather, would not let go of the food box and cover up the delicious fresh crabs. It stinks!
"Young Master, do you want to put this medicine bottle back into the medicine box?"
The little maid on the side ran over and saw that Ji Nanjing was holding on to a small medicine bottle like a treasure and refused to let go, so she kindly reminded her.
"No! If the medicine box gets damaged, can you afford to pay for it? My sister gave it to me!"
Ji Nanjing didn't want to let go for a moment, holding the small medicine bottle tightly to his chest, as if he was afraid that the maid would snatch the medicine bottle away from him.
If you don't put the medicine bottle in the medicine box, but put it in your arms and cover it, can you stop knocking it? The maid had no choice but to turn and leave. She really couldn't see it. Her master, young master, and young master were all crazy. One is holding the medicine bottle without blocking his hands, and the other two are holding the crab box and fighting to keep it from letting go. Are these all crazy?
"Master, would you like to bring some steamed crabs to your house?"
Ji Nanjing's entourage asked casually.
"No! My sister said that I shouldn't eat cold things now! When I get better in the future, she will give it to me again!"
Ji Nanjing patted his chest, looking extremely proud!
younger sister? Who doesn't have a little sister?
The attendant lowered his head and rolled his eyes silently. Although he has long been accustomed to the three generations of the Ji family doting on the eldest daughter of the Bai family, but... the eldest daughter of the Bai family just gave them some ordinary things. Are they so happy?
If they really want to eat these crabs, they can just have people go to Huzhou to buy some and bring them back. It won’t be a waste of effort! Besides, this medicine bottle is just some medicine for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and it is not a very rare medicinal material. How can the dignified General's Mansion be short of these ordinary medicines? He really couldn't understand where his masters' excitement came from!
But how would outsiders know the blood and affection the Ji family has for Bai Yanqing! The Ji family is a family of military commanders and has always had a lot of boys. When the old lady gave birth to Ji Jinchu in the past, the whole Ji family was as excited as they are now! Ji Jinxiu hurt his sister to the core! General Ji couldn't wait to pluck the moon out of the sky and give it to his precious daughter to play with!
Later, Ji Jinchu passed away, and the entire Ji family fell into despair. Mrs. Ji became ill because of longing for her daughter, and finally died in depression. This matter is also a scar that no one in the Ji family dares to expose!
