A huge round table, with plates of exquisite and steaming dishes neatly placed on it! Even though it was snowing outside, the food on the table was still steaming hot and not cold at all!
"dinner time!"
Following Li Qinru's shout, Bai Jingxuan's thoughts came back to his senses! He glanced at Bai Yanqing silently, and then glanced lightly at Yun Qi. The sadness in his heart was beyond words!
"It's all my favorite food! Auntie's cooking is getting better and better!"
As soon as Bai Yanqing sat down, the aroma of vegetables hit her nostrils, and she was tempted to move.
"Yan Qing's words really offend me. These dishes were not prepared by me, but by Aunt An! At best, I'm just doing the cooking for her!"
Li Qinru did not hide the fact that Aunt An had prepared all the dishes on today's table!
Aunt An?
When Bai Yanqing heard this familiar yet unfamiliar title, she suddenly remembered that they had not seen Aunt An until now when they returned home!
"The credit is not all mine, I am just responsible for preparing the food! The one who cooks in the pot and is steamed by the oil smoke is all you, madam!"
At that time, Aunt An walked in with a plate of dishes and a smile!
It's sweet and sour pork ribs. Bai Yanqing's favorite dish before. The sweet and sour taste can make Bai Yanqing eat half a bowl of rice more!
When Li Qinru heard this, she blushed with embarrassment! Indeed, the person cooking today is Li Qinru! When cooking, one must pay attention to the heat, and the other is to pay attention to the proportion of seasonings. These things are what Li Qinru is best at! What's more, with so many distinguished guests in the house today, Li Qinru would not be at ease if he rashly handed over the matter to the cook in the house!
"Auntie is very tired today!"
While Bai Yanqing was smiling and talking to Li Qinru, she smoothly took the plate of sweet and sour pork ribs from Aunt An!
Everyone sat down around the round table. The hot food on the table had already made everyone hungry!
These days, I have been bumpy on the road, and I rarely get to eat such a sumptuous meal! Now, seeing the table full of delicacies, even Yun Qi, who had always been cold and cool, couldn't help but move his index finger!
"Madam, eat more! Thank you for your hard work these days!"
Yun Qi picked up a dish with chopsticks and put it directly on the plate in front of Bai Yanqing!
"Ah, yes, yes! Miss Bai, eat more! Look how thin you are! It must be our Star-Moon Kingdom's food, which is not to your liking! Now that you are back, eat more!"
Luo Sheng picked up a chicken leg and put it directly into the empty bowl in front of Bai Yanqing.
Seeing this, Yunqi, not to be outdone, continued to pick up a piece of braised pork, and thoughtfully placed it on the plate in front of Bai Yanqing again!
Yun Qi and Luo Sheng, who were going back and forth with each other, filled all the dishes in front of Bai Yanqing with vegetables in full view of everyone!
"Okay, okay! Come on, you two! Why do you have any hatred against me? Do you want to keep me alive? Whoever pinches it will eat it!"
Seeing this, Bai Yanqing put down her chopsticks angrily and glared at Luo Sheng and Yun Qi fiercely!
When Yun Qi saw this, he quickly brought the plate of vegetables in front of him with quick eyes and quick hands! Not to be outdone, Luo Sheng hurriedly reached out and brought the bowl of vegetables in front of Bai Yanqing in front of him!
When the servants of the Bai family saw this, they were very discerning and gave Bai Yanqing a new set of tableware!
No one around the table spoke at this moment! They all looked at Yun Qi silently, and then quietly glanced at Luo Sheng, as if they were watching a play, and they were all secretly puzzled! I wonder what kind of drama these two gentlemen are singing in!
"Caixing, eat more! Now that you're back at home, don't be restrained! You're not the same as before!"
Bai Yanqing noticed with sharp eyes that Cai Xing was lowering her head and silently biting a piece of green vegetables. She felt a little sorry for her at the moment! I quickly got her a big chicken drumstick!
"Well...I, I'm not restrained! I am...I can't hold anything in my mouth!"
Cai Xing raised his head, and a chicken leg bone was exposed at the corner of his shiny mouth!
"Ha ha ha ha……"
When Bai Yanqing saw this, she couldn't help laughing! She thought Cai Xing was too embarrassed to pick up the food! Who would have expected that Cai Xing was silent, secretly gnawing on chicken legs alone!
With this little episode between Bai Yanqing and Cai Xing, everyone at the table breathed a sigh of relief silently! The atmosphere became lively and everyone became less reserved!
"Yan Qing! Eat more! Your aunt has been busy all afternoon!"
Bai Jingxuan picked up a chopstick and placed it gently in front of Bai Yanqing!
"That's right, that's right! I can't help you much, I can only give you some extra food!"
Bai Furong smiled and picked up a fish for each of Bai Yanqing and Lai Bizhi. The love in her eyes was even greater than before!
"That's right! Don't let me and Aunt An's hard work go down!"
As Li Qinru said this, she stood up and brought a lot more dishes to Bai Yanqing and Lai Bizhi!
Looking at the dishes piled high in front of her, Bai Yanqing's eyes felt slightly sour!
It's great to be home!
Since entering the palace after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Bai Yanqing has never had the chance to return to the Bai Mansion! This was the first time in the past few months that she had eaten in the Bai family as a daughter of the Bai family!
"Eat more! I've lost a lot of weight in the past few months!"
Aunt An added a bowl of rice to Bai Yanqing and whispered to her in her ear!
Bai Yanqing was slightly startled. Aunt An's words were still lingering in her ears! This is the first time that Aunt An has said these words of concern to herself without any concealment!
Bai Yanqing has a lot to say and wants to ask Aunt An, but now is really not the right time!
Thinking of this, Bai Yanqing lowered her head silently and used chopsticks to gently fiddle with the rice in the bowl! The fragrant and hot white rice is something Bai Yanqing hasn't been able to eat for several days!
"Master Luo, eat more too!"
Aunt An suddenly walked up behind Luo Sheng and added a bowl of rice for Luo Sheng.
When Bai Yanqing heard this, she was instantly shocked!
Aunt An called Luo Sheng "Master Luo"! There is nothing wrong with this, but it is wrong. Since Luo Sheng entered the house until now, Aunt An has never met Luo Sheng!
Aunt An was also serving the dishes at this moment, and she was the first to see Luo Sheng! Then how did she know that the person sitting next to Bai Yanqing was named Luo?
Thinking back to before, Aunt An said that someone would pick up Bai Yanqing and the others at the border of Xingyue Kingdom! Then, Luo Sheng appeared! He also volunteered that he himself was the one who was arranged to meet Bai Yanqing and the others! ap.
After all, where did Luo Sheng meet Aunt An?
Why does even Yunqi seem to know the details of Aunt An, but Bai Yanqing is the only one who doesn't know where Aunt An comes from?
What are they hiding from Bai Yanqing?
Thinking of this, Bai Yanqing instantly lost her appetite for the dishes on the table!
After the meal, it was getting late, and Yun Qi couldn't stay any longer, so he took Yuan Ziyue and left first! Luo Sheng, however, shamelessly got the chance to stay!
The Bai family can neither afford nor afford such a distinguished guest as Luo Sheng! We can only treat him as an ordinary guest and place him in the guest room!
"Yuan Ji, this is reserved for you! Eat more!"
Bai Yanqing and Cai Xing quietly pulled Yuan Li into the kitchen, and then served the prepared meals to Yuan Li! When it comes to food, Bai Yanqing has never treated Yuan Jun poorly!
Yuan Li picked up the bowl and looked at the large pot of vegetables in front of him, his eyes sparkling!
"Eat slowly, there is not enough!"
Bai Yanqing brought a cup of tea to Yuan Li and patted her back to calm her down, lest she would choke again after devouring it like this!
Yuan Li nodded hurriedly. At this moment, she had no chance to speak.
say! Because her mouth has long been filled with food!
"Sister... I feel like Mr. Luo and Aunt An... seem to know each other!"
Caixing suddenly spoke and said to Bai Yanqing.
Bai Yanqing nodded and expressed that she indeed felt so!
Previously, when Luo Sheng was in Star-Moon Kingdom, he was a little vague about why he became the coordinator! His words at the time showed that he and Aunt An did not know each other personally, and the reason why he took this job was entirely because his father, Prince Luo, was an old acquaintance of Aunt An!
But today, it seems that things are not as Luo Sheng said! Obviously, Aunt An knows Luo Sheng!
So, what is the relationship between Aunt An and Luo Sheng?
Bai Yanqing is puzzled by this question!
The people who were happiest when they heard that Bai Yanqing had returned home, apart from the elders of the Bai family, were of course the old ladies from Nianchu Xiaozhu!
When Bai Yanqing and Cai Xing walked back to read Chu Xiaozhu, the courtyard was still brightly lit! As if he had already lit the lamp, just to wait for Bai Yanqing and the others to return!
"Sister, the floor is slippery! Walk slower!"
Cai Xing supported Bai Yanqing, and the two of them walked towards Nian Chu Xiaozhu!
It's still snowing outside, and the darker the sky gets, the more frequently the snow falls! At this time, Bai Yanqing and Cai Xing, who had just had dinner, walked slowly towards Nianchu Xiaozhu on the thin snow. And behind them, Yuan Li was following!
It was Yuan Li's first time to come to Baifu. She was not familiar with the road to Baifu, so she had to follow Bai Yanqing and Caixing closely! I’m afraid I’ve gone astray!
Wherever the feet stepped on, there was a "crunching" sound! The thin snow on the ground is already a bit slippery!
"Sister, we're here!"
Cai Xing took the lead and stepped forward, about to reach out and push open the courtyard door.
At that time, the courtyard door suddenly made a "squeaking" sound, and someone opened the courtyard door from inside!
"Miss! Miss is back!"
It was the excited voice of Aunt Zhao!
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of rapid footsteps, and Grandma Li also came out!
"Miss!"
Grandma Li was so anxious that she lost her footing and almost slipped! Thanks to Yuan Li's quick eyesight and quick hands, he raised his arms to stop Nanny Li. Otherwise, Nanny Li would not only fall down herself, but would also cause Bai Yanqing to fall down!
"It's cold outside. Miss, hurry up and come inside to talk!"
After all, Aunt Zhao was more thoughtful. She hurriedly stepped aside and led Bai Yanqing and Cai Xing into the house together.
The house has been neatly tidied up and clean! The room was filled with candles, illuminating the room brightly!
"It's so warm in this room!"
Caixing couldn't help but praise.
"Isn't that right? Knowing that the young lady will return to the house today, Lao Nu and Grandma Li specially lit a charcoal fire in advance to warm the house!"
Aunt Zhao said with a smile.
"My young lady is weak and is most afraid of the cold in winter." This sentence was what Cai Xing often said in the past! In the entire White House, no one knows about it!
It is precisely because of these words that Nanny Zhao and Nanny Li never let Bai Yanqing's room suffer from the cold!
The warm room made some hot sweat break out on Bai Yanqing's forehead!
"Miss, it's hot? Let's change into a thin waistcoat!"
After saying that, Grandma Li hurriedly rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find a thin waistcoat for Bai Yanqing.
"Mother Li, let me do it!"
Looking at Nanny Li who was sweating profusely but couldn't find Bai Yanqing's clothes, Cai Xing hurriedly stepped forward and took her place! It seems that Cai Xing feels sorry for Nanny Li, but in fact, Cai Xing feels sorry for Bai Yanqing's clothes! Aunt Li is so rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and her hands are not heavy. If she is not careful, she will scratch Bai Yanqing's silk and thin velvet clothes!
