The villains seem to be intimidated by me
Chapter 26 Waiting For The Good Show To Begin
001.
Since the rain that day, the weather has become even hotter, and the sun is even hotter at noon.
A few days passed, and the originally deserted courtyard began to become lively after Mrs. Dashan also moved in.
The crowd in this yard is not only because of one more person, but also because Bai Chulu has been running to this yard more diligently recently.
In the past, Bai Chulu ran to this yard every day, and it was all for Shan Yucheng, but now she is no longer going for Shan Yucheng, but for Mrs. Shan.
Not to mention taking care of the three meals a day, I don’t forget to personally deliver snacks and afternoon tea on weekdays, and I run extraordinarily hard.
As the time for the previously set banquet approached, Mrs. Shan had asked people to pack things in advance, and was going to go home immediately after the banquet.
She made a plan to go to the temple next month to fulfill her vows. Originally, she had more than enough time to go directly after coming down from the mountain, but because Shan Yucheng left midway and she turned back, it was delayed for some time.
After Mrs. Shan asked the servant girls around her to pack up all the things, she found Shan Yucheng.
The two were sitting in the gazebo, Madam Shan said straight to the point: "You have been out to play for a while this time, it's time to go back with me. My side is ready, you ask Chu Wu to pack your luggage, Give them a ride."
Hearing Mrs. Shan's words, Shan Yucheng's somewhat translucent eyes moved, but he didn't respond.
Mrs. Shan saw it and said: "We agreed before, I asked you to come here and you accompany me to fulfill your wish."
When Shan Yucheng heard that Mrs. Shan was looking aside with alienated and indifferent eyes, he struggled a little.
He didn't want to leave, and he wanted to spend some time here.
Thinking of Bai Moru, Shan Yucheng's amber eyes couldn't help but glow.
Mrs. Shan saw his intentions and didn't point it out. She just said: "The two of us have been away from home for a while, and it's about time to go back to see your father and grandfather. I just received a message from my family two days ago. The message came, saying that it was your grandfather who wanted to see you because he didn't eat."
Hearing his words, the expression on Shan Yucheng's face softened a little, but the nostalgia in his eyes was still there.
"Besides, you should know, your master also told you not to stay in one place for a long time..." Mrs. Shan's faint words came, "And what if something happens to Mr. Bai?"
The days she lived in the White Mansion, she could tell that Shan Yucheng was really different from Bai Moru, that was something that even her own mother couldn't get.But she also saw some other things at the same time, and because she saw it, she rushed to take Shan Yucheng back.
Some things, strangled in the cradle is the best choice for everyone.
And although Shan Yuzhu's incident back then could not be completely blamed on him, but Shan Yucheng's fate of being hit with evil spirits by the lonely star that day was the real thing, not fake at all.
Since Shan Yuzhu fell into the water and died of wind and cold at the age of seven, many changes have occurred in Shan's family in these years.
First, Shan Tianze, the original head of the Shan family, Shan Yucheng's grandfather Shan Tianze, suffered a sudden stroke and lay in the hospital bed for nearly two years. After seeing many famous doctors, big and small, he was finally able to get up and walk around, but his brain began to feel a little abnormal. .
Nowadays, he is always sober and sometimes crazy. When he is sober, he is like a normal person. When he is crazy, he is like a seven or eight-year-old child, naughty and irritating.
After Shan Tianze's accident, it was Shan Yucheng's father Shan Hao who had the accident immediately.
After Shan Tianze's accident, the burden of the Shan family fell on Shan Hao's shoulders. In order to take care of the business, he began to run around, but unexpectedly met bandits on the road and was robbed of money, not to mention pushed off the cliff.Although he eventually regained his life, he limped a leg.
Even she was insane for two years after Shan Yuzhu's death before being cured...
It would be fine if these things only happened to Shan's family, but over the years, many people who were a little close to him have also had troubles.Coupled with Shan Yucheng's already deserted and alienated personality, gradually everyone began to avoid him, and his temperament became more and more alienated.
If Shan Yucheng stays, it will be a disaster for him and others.
Over the years, she took Shan Yucheng around to pray for blessings. While praying for blessings, she wondered if she could meet an expert to change Shan Yucheng's life, but she tried countless methods, but nothing worked.
Hearing this, Shan Yucheng swallowed the words that were already on his lips, and his sharp and delicate facial features gradually became cold under these words.
When he looked up again, his amber eyes were already as cold as ice, and the alienation and indifference between his brows and eyes was like the morning frost in winter, a little heavier.
"You don't want him to have an accident, do you?" Seeing that Shan Yucheng was like this, she was a little cautious when she spoke again, and she said: "If you like this place, mother will accompany you to pray for blessings after a while?"
For a while, the house was eerily silent.
After a while, Shan Yucheng got up and stood up. He walked towards the door, and when he came to the door, he stopped and said, "I'm going out for a walk."
Seeing Shan Yucheng leave, Mrs. Shan, who was left alone in the house, stared at the direction of his departure, and then sighed helplessly after a long time.
Shan Yucheng left the yard and walked towards the outside of the Baifu, but accidentally bumped into Baiford on the way.
Bai Fude was also surprised to meet Shan Yucheng. Although Shan Yucheng lives in the Baifu, he spends most of his time in the courtyard and rarely goes out.
During this period of time, he has been preparing funds to make enough preparations for the business with Shanjia.He has gathered all the funds of some shops and firms under his name, and is going to take this opportunity to gamble and give it a go!
Now meeting Shan Yucheng who is alone, Bai Fude hastily greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Shan, where are you going?"
Shan Yucheng turned a blind eye and just continued to walk forward casually.
Baiford was rejected, but he was not angry about it. On the contrary, he was a little excited. It was the first time since Shan Yucheng lived in the White House that he had the opportunity to contact him alone. This was a good opportunity.
"Are you still used to living in that yard?" Bai Furu rubbed his hands and asked, "I heard that Bai Moru often runs to the kitchen recently, does the dim sum he makes meet Mr. Shan's wishes?"
Hearing Bai Fude mentioning Bai Moru, Shan Yucheng finally reacted, he turned his head and glanced at Bai Fude with cold eyes.
"Sir Shan, to tell you the truth, I have something to ask for, and I ask Mr. Shan to fulfill it for the sake of my son." Byford said nervously.
While talking, the two had walked along the corridor to the gate of the White Mansion, Shan Yucheng did not stop, he continued to walk towards the door.
"I heard that there is a stockpile of grain in the good family's treasury that is going to be transported to the disaster area. It just so happens that some people in my hands have some time. I wonder if Mr. Shan can give some of it to me?" Baiford explained the purpose of his visit.
The guard at the side saw Byford and was about to come forward, but was waved back by Byford.
After leaving the White Mansion, Shan Yucheng walked straight forward on the road under his feet, and after passing a section of residential buildings, he turned a corner and came to the street where he met Bai Moru before.
Today is not the day to go to the market, so the streets are deserted, the roadside vendors look lazy and listless, and the pedestrians on the road are only in twos and threes.
Walking down the road, Byford dutifully pointed at the surrounding streets and introduced carefully, but Shan Yucheng, who wanted to be quiet, was a little annoyed by what he heard.
After walking for half a street, Shan Yucheng said: "We'll talk about this after the banquet, you can go."
Seeing Shan Yucheng's cold eyes, Bai Fude stopped in embarrassment and did not follow.
After separating from Na Shanyu, Bai Fude turned back to the mansion.
After entering the White Mansion, he recruited the servants around him to inquire about Lin Xuecui's whereabouts, and after learning of Lin Xuecui's whereabouts, he rushed straight there.
In Bai Chulu's courtyard, Lin Xuecui, who was sitting in the living room, saw Bai Fude enter, she quickly stood up and greeted her with a smile, "Master."
She led Baiford into the room and pressed him on the stool, then served tea and water, and finally stood behind Baiford, stretching out her slender hands to rub his shoulders to relieve his fatigue.
"How about the dessert?" Byford asked.
People from this good family have lived in the mansion for more than ten days, but his business still hasn't made any progress, so he is a little anxious.
"Master, don't worry, with me watching, there will be absolutely no problems." The smile on Lin Xuecui's face froze imperceptibly after hearing Baiford's question.
"That's good. You have to keep an eye on it. If something goes wrong, I'll ask you." Byford pretended to be fierce.
He could see what Shan Yucheng meant, and he would not let go of the business until the banquet was over.
Standing behind Baiford, Lin Xuecui's face was a bit ugly, but she smiled and said coquettishly: "Master, are you still worried about me? I have been with you for decades, and you are still not at ease when I do things. ?"
After Lin Xuecui said this, Bai Fude finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he asked Lin Xuecui about some big and small things in the mansion before leaving.
After Baiford left, the smile on Lin Xuecui's face couldn't hold back, she was not sure about this snack at all.
Lin Xuecui, who had given up on making dim sum by herself and was about to use a strong one, still felt uneasy after thinking about it, so she quickly walked towards the yard next to her.
After entering the courtyard, she was relieved to see that the two members of Shan's family were not in the courtyard, and her arrogance also became arrogant.
Seeing Liu Ru in the yard, Lin Xuecui stepped forward and asked bluntly, "What about the sick child?"
After Lin Xuecui was beaten half to death by Baiford before, she calmed down for a while, and she spoke more politely. Seeing Lin Xuecui's arrogant appearance again, Liu Ru immediately became alert.
"What do you want from him?"
"Where is the person?" Lin Xuecui frowned impatiently, "You'd better tell me where the sick child is quickly, and you will feel better if the matter of the master is delayed."
Liu Ru heard that it was related to Byford, and thought it should be about the banquet. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "You wait here, I'll call him."
After speaking, Liu Ru walked towards the house where Bai Moru lived.
At noon, Bai Moru was a little tired, so he took a nap.
Lin Xuecui saw Liu Ru knocking on the door for a long time, but no one in the room responded, she quickly ran out of patience, stepped forward and kicked open the door and walked in.
"What time is it and you are still lying on the bed, have you prepared the snacks that the master asked for?" Lin Xuecui stared at Bai Moru who was awakened on the bed.
Now that she has made up her mind to use force, Lin Xuecui is no longer in the mood of pretending to be a snake with the mother and son.
While speaking, Lin Xuecui stepped forward and wanted to drag Bai Moru up from the bed, "Don't hang around here, hurry up and make something for me, it will be time for the banquet in two days."
Bai Moru dodged to the side, avoiding Lin Xuecui's hand, he was not surprised by Lin Xuecui's attitude changed drastically, and probably guessed Lin Xuecui's current plan after stealing.
But after Lin Xuecui's reminder, Bai Moru really remembered that the time for the banquet was approaching.
Bai Moru looked at the sky outside the window, since the time for the banquet was approaching, it was about time for him to close the net.
He was a little tired of living in this White Mansion.
002.
"Since the time for the banquet is approaching, why does Mrs. Bai still have time to come here? Or is Mrs. Bai really generous and not in a hurry at all." Bai Moru looked at Lin Xuecui in front of him.
Lin Xuecui, who was about to make a move, stopped when she heard the words, and looked at Bai Moru suspiciously, "What do you mean?"
"What do I mean?" Bai Moru got off the bed while speaking, he took the clothes from the side and put them on his body, and then turned to look at her.
During this period of time living in the White Mansion, Bai Moru didn't just bask in the sun leisurely all day and only went to the kitchen occasionally to walk around. He inquired about some interesting things.
Seeing Bai Moru pretending to be a ghost, Lin Xuecui frowned deeply, "Don't play such petty tricks, let me tell you, now obediently let me go to the kitchen to make things, if the master's business is delayed, you will feel better."
"Hahaha... It seems that Mrs. Bai is really forgiving. She still thinks about Master Bai at this moment." Bai Moru chuckled and shook his head while pulling his hair. Because he didn't sleep well, his eyebrows The sadness in the room is even worse.
Bai Moru walked towards the door, as if he really responded to Lin Xuecui's words and prepared to go to the kitchen.
Bai Moru walked swiftly, but Lin Xuecui started scratching her ears and cheeks when she heard what he said just now.
Why is she so relieved?
Seeing that Bai Moru was about to walk out of the yard, Lin Xuecui hurriedly stopped him, "Please tell me clearly what you mean by what you said just now, what does it mean to be lenient, and you are not allowed to leave unless you explain clearly."
Hearing this, Bai Moru stopped and looked back at Lin Xuecui, his dark eyes were full of teasing, and his voice was full of laughter when he spoke, "Madam Bai, it's this time, don't you really take it seriously? Master Bai did all this with great fanfare for the sake of your mother and son, right?"
Just as Bai Moru finished speaking, Lin Xuecui's expression on the opposite side changed several times.
"When I ask more questions." Bai Moru said: "In the past twenty years, Mr. Bai has been away for a long time, and occasionally only stayed for half a month when he came back. Could it be that Mrs. Bai really didn't get up at all? Suspicious?"
Lin Xuecui was originally a suspicious woman, his words fell into Lin Xuecui's ears, it was really harsh.
"What nonsense are you talking about, don't sow discord here." Lin Xuecui shouted immediately.
"Madam Bai, you're so excited, it seems you know what's in your mind, so I won't say anything more." Bai Moru jokingly glanced at Lin Xuecui, whose face was getting uglier, and he turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
The moment he turned his head, the smile in his eyes gradually turned cold, and that sinister look made his entire face even more sickly and pale.
He has a bad temper, he only gives him a chance once, and Lin Xuecui keeps offending him again and again, just apologize and it's over?
That is impossible!
He offered to live in this Baifu compound, not just to let her, Lin Xuecui, serve him tea and water.
Bai Moru left the courtyard and walked towards the kitchen casually. He didn't walk fast, and only waited for Lin Xuecui to catch up behind him.
Sure enough, he hadn't gone far when Lin Xuecui rushed over and stopped in front of him domineeringly.
"You just said that the master did all this not for us or for this family, so what did you say it was for?" Lin Xuecui asked pantingly.
Bai Moru took a step to the right, bypassed her and continued to walk forward.
"Stop!" Lin Xuecui chased after her again.
"Is there something else for Mrs. Bai?" Bai Moru looked at Lin Xuecui's dark face and smiled lightly.
"Do you know something?" Lin Xuecui's heart was in a mess, all because of Bai Moru's question of 'I've never been suspicious' just now.
After she got married to Baiford, Baiford traveled around all year round because of business matters, and he didn't go home a few times a year, and each time he stayed for at most half a month.
Now she is used to this kind of life, but when she was newlyweds, she also lost her temper in the face of such gatherings and separations, but Byford persuaded her that it was all for her and the children, and he really loved her. She also endured it silently.
The two have been getting together less often, and Baiford is a mature man, at the age of a wolf and a tiger, Lin Xuecui is somewhat calculating in her heart.
But after all these years, she had never seen Bai Fude enjoying flowers and grass outside, and she brought Bai Ruanfeng by her side later, so she gradually lost this precaution.
Now that Bai Moru casually said something ambiguously, the seed of suspicion immediately germinated in her heart.
Lin Xuecui didn't trust Bai Moru at first, but she was out of control in this matter. Although she warned herself not to believe it, she couldn't help but want to listen.
"There is only one thing I can say about this matter." Bai Moru looked at Lin Xuecui with pitiful eyes, "This time, Master Bai's personality changed drastically after he came back. Beating and scolding, haven't you thought about why?"
Lin Xuecui pursed her lips and stared, the expressions in her eyes changing repeatedly.
She really didn't notice before Bai Moru didn't say it, but now that she thinks about it carefully, after Bai Fude's return this time, his personality really changed as Bai Moru said.
Before, she tried every means to sow dissension and wanted Bai Fude to sever ties with that little bitch Liu Ru. Bai Fude kept saying that Bai Moru and Bai Xueming were his flesh and blood, and that blood was thicker than water, so he was unwilling to agree.
But within two days after returning this time, Bai Fude came to the door by himself and severed ties with that little bitch Liu Ru.
At that time, she just went there to be happy, and didn't think much about it at all.
Later, she was beaten and scolded by Byford, and she thought it was because of something she did wrong. Now that I think about it, if Byford used to dote on her, even if she did something wrong, she would never be willing to touch half of her finger .
Baiford's personality has changed drastically since he came back this time. Could it be that there is really something hidden from her?
Or, did Byford really have other women outside?
When he came back this time, he severed ties with Liu Ru and beat her. Could it be that he wanted to take that woman back to live with her? !
Don't think about it, that's impossible, she will never allow it!
This White Mansion can only have her as the mistress, she will never allow a second woman to live in, besides, who knows what that woman is thinking.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuecui's face turned pale, and she remembered the things between herself and Liu Ru.
Thinking of Liu Ru, Lin Xuecui's unwavering heart was shaken again. If that woman is after the position of Mrs. Bai, then she...
Lin Xuecui stood in the same place with a face that was cloudy and sometimes sunny. Seeing this, Bai Moru kindly added another sentence, "About this matter, the three of us, the mother and the child, don't really care. For the sake of calling you aunt, after all, we didn’t spend much on Master Bai, did we? But you, don’t end up making wedding dresses for others.”
After finishing speaking, Bai Moru turned and left heartlessly, this time he didn't stay any longer.
He has already planted the seed in Lin Xuecui's heart, and watered it, it depends on when it will germinate and bloom.He didn't ask Lin Xuecui to really believe what he said, as long as she couldn't stifle the suspicion in her heart these days.
The snake does not die, but suffers from it.
He will not give this woman Lin Xuecui a second chance to push him to the ground and beat him until he has no power to fight back and can only lie on the ground convulsing and lingering.It wouldn't give her another chance to rush into his house with someone arrogance, clamoring for beating and killing.
Besides, Lin Xuecui still owes him a life!
The original owner of this body, Bai Moru, died!
The reason why Bai Moru was replaced by him was because of Lin Xuecui's anger, he was so depressed that he couldn't afford it, and then he was tortured to death by a small wind and cold.
The reason why Bai Moru was angry was because Lin Xuecui smashed a small bowl of sugar cake that he secretly bought on the street.
He bought the bowl of sugar cake secretly to save money on medicine, and secretly went to the street to buy it as a gift for Liu Ru to celebrate his birthday, but when he was shopping, he happened to be blocked by Lin Xuecui, who was shopping.
Because Lin Xuecui guessed that he was saving money on medicine, she felt that he didn't know how to be grateful, and instead used Byford's hard-earned money to buy these snacks and wanted to beat people.
As a result, Liu Ru's birthday that day started when she was beaten by Lin Xuecui, and then ended with being locked up in a firewood house for the night.
Afterwards, the more Bai Moru thought about it, the more angry he became, the more unwilling he became, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became.
He was not in good health, and after being depressed, he almost lay in bed and couldn't get up.
Not long after he caught the cold, Liu Ru went to the compound to collect the monthly payment for that month. As a result, Lin Xuecui kept delaying and refusing to pay the money on the grounds that they had money to buy snacks and must have hidden a lot of money, which eventually led to Bai Moru couldn't make it through.
Although no one else knew about it except him, Bai Moru didn't think it was something that could be ignored.
This life, he counted on her, Lin Xuecui.
However, according to his original thinking, he thought it would take more effort, but he didn't expect that things would develop more smoothly than he imagined.
Especially that Bai Chulu, before he had time to do anything, she made a net to trap herself, then sharpened her head and forced her way in.
After Bai Moru left in a happy mood, Lin Xuecui stood alone in the corridor for a long time in a daze.
Bai Moru had been busy in the kitchen for a long time when he accidentally heard about it from other servants.
Regarding this matter, Bai Moru just smiled, although there was no smile in his eyes.
After living in the White Mansion, he intentionally inquired about the relationship between Bai Fude and Lin Xuecui.
It is well known that Bai Fude spends less time with Lin Xuecui all year round, but some things are hidden deeply, such as Lin Xuecui and Bai Fude sleeping in separate rooms.
Logically speaking, Lin Xuecui and Bai Fude usually get together less and leave more, and Bai Fude usually dotes on Lin Xuecui so much. After he came back, the two of them should be like glue, but in fact it is not the case.
Just like this time, after he occupied Lin Xuecui's yard, Lin Xuecui did not move into Baiford's yard, but lived in his daughter Bai Chulu's yard.
It would be fine if Baiford was not at the house at the moment, but Baiford had obviously returned, so it would be a little strange if he was still like this.
003.
In the evening, the atmosphere in the Baifu courtyard was completely different from before.
At dinner time, this feeling is even more obvious.
After the whole meal, Lin Xuecui's face was cloudy and sunny, and she would look at Baiford next to her and grit her teeth from time to time.
Bai Chulu was still the same as before, her whole mind was devoted to Mrs. Shan, she took care of her in every possible way, and she even didn't mean to mention that she 'personally' cooked two vegetarian dishes.
Bai Fude kept his eyes on Shan Yucheng, and he remembered which dish Shan Yucheng had two extra chopsticks in.
I don't know if it was because of the influence of Lin Xuecui and Bai Fude, Mrs. Na Shan and Shan Yucheng at the dinner table also had their own concerns and looked depressed.
Sensing the weird atmosphere at the table, both Liu Ru and Bai Xueming ate without saying a word.
Among the people at the whole table, Bai Moru was the only one who was really in a good mood, with a strong appetite.
The next day, there was a tense atmosphere in the lower world of the Baifu, because tomorrow was the time for the banquet, so Baiford personally gave an order to let them start preparing in advance.
At this time, Shan Yucheng had already packed his things and was going to leave after the luncheon the next day.
Lin Xuecui still looked out of her mind, wandering around the yard all day long, but now the servants in the yard are busy, and no one cares about her.
In the evening, Lin Xuecui suddenly hugged her stomach and complained of pain.Byford was too busy with the matter at hand, so he only asked his servants to hire a doctor, and then plunged in again.
Knowing that Shan Yucheng was leaving, Bai Chulu was sitting next to Mrs. Shan crying with red eyes and wiping tears. Cherry's little mouth was full of reluctance for Mrs. Shan.
She fell in love with Mrs. Shan, she and Mrs. Shan are as close as friends, she and Mrs. Shan met each other late, and she and Mrs. Shan are the mother and daughter who have been separated for many years.
Hearing that Mrs. Shan was leaving, she was so heartbroken that her heart ached and she wanted to collect her things and go with Mrs. Shan.
Feeling the inexplicable tense atmosphere in the White Mansion, both Liu Ru and Bai Xueming couldn't help becoming tense.
In the small courtyard, after Bai Moru leisurely washed and ate breakfast, he wandered to the kitchen to fetch well water, and then went back to the courtyard to soak rice, making little preparations for tomorrow's dessert.
This night, many people in the White House are doomed to sleepless.
However, Bai Moru was not included here. Unlike those nights when his chest always hurt and made him sweat all night and had nightmares, he slept very comfortably this night.
In the early morning of midsummer, the sun shines through the thin clouds and falls in the courtyard that still has some morning light and mist.
Bai Moru, who had a particularly comfortable sleep this time, stretched his arms lazily, smiling and looking at the warm golden sunlight in the yard, feeling very good.
It seemed to suit Bai Moru's mood, the sun today was exceptionally good.
In the courtyard, other people are already busy.
Because the banquet was held at noon, the kitchen was already bustling with activity. The servants in the mansion helped, and those who were not in the kitchen were all energized and ready to fight.
The gate of the Baifu is also busy at the moment, the people from the Shan family have already set up the carriage and are loading things on it, just waiting to go.
In the small courtyard, seeing Bai Moru getting up, Liu Ru hurriedly took out the breakfast that had been prepared from the basket on the table in the living room, set it up early, and invited Bai Moru to eat.
"The house is busy today, so I went earlier to order some porridge. Your brother and I have eaten it. These are reserved for you."
Bai Moru sat down at the table, drank in small sips, and his eyes fell on the light and shadow swaying with the morning wind in the courtyard.
Before he finished his bowl of porridge, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard door, and Byford rushed in nervously.
Seeing that Bai Moru was still drinking a bowl of porridge at this moment, he suddenly became angry, and immediately blushed and shouted: "What are you doing at this hour, don't hurry!"
When Liu Ru saw her, he wanted to go forward and say a few words, but Bai Fude gave her a hard look in the blink of an eye. His nerves were too tense, and he wished he could rush up and slap Liu Ru twice.
When is this all?
Everyone in the courtyard was busy, and Bai Moru was still eating here. Doesn't he know how important today is to him? !
The same goes for Liu Ru, who didn't know how to help.
Bai Moru, who was rare for Baiford's ferocity, didn't mind. After gulping down the porridge in the bowl, he stood up.
"Don't worry, I still have plenty of time here, I have a sense of proportion, and I won't delay your business." Bai Moru said in a good mood.
Seeing what Bai Moru said, Bai Ford left in a hurry.
After a while, Baiford's roar came from not far away, as if some servant had misplaced his things.
When Bai Moru came to the yard, he rolled up his sleeves and looked at the stove and some kitchen utensils that had been moved in last night.
The banquet was held at noon, so of course it was impossible to just eat snacks, so the main event was the food on this table before the snacks after the meal, and his snacks were just an embellishment.
Since he has already received Baiford's money, he will naturally fulfill his promise with Baiford, and he will not lose any of this meatball.
But whether they can eat it depends on their own good fortune.
Bai Moru washed his hands, and drained the rice soaked last night with a sieve for later use.
After draining the rice, Bai Moru walked aside, and from the pile of ingredients that Lin Xuecui sent earlier, he found a few other things he wanted, yeast, high-quality white sugar, and some that can be used later for dyeing and flavoring seasonal vegetables.
Liu Ru didn't go outside, but stayed to help. Seeing Bai Moru start, she quickly rolled up her sleeves and came over to help Bai Moru grind the soaked rice on the small stone mill in the yard, and then helped prepare it. some other things.
The making of hair cake is actually not difficult. Compared with other dim sum, it can be regarded as an extremely simple and common food. Even Lin Xuecui probably knows how to operate it.
But the hair cake made by Bai Moru is similar to but different from other people's. It has a different texture, a different taste, and a particularly pleasing appearance.
After the preparations were done, Liu Ru went to the side to watch the fire, and Bai Moru would do the rest by himself.
After adding some water to the pot, Bai Moru took the rice milk that Liu Ru helped to grind, took a clean basin, added an appropriate amount of sugar and some oil, and stirred it carefully.
After a while, the rice milk in his basin became viscous.
At this time, the water in the pot was also boiling, and the transparent water was bubbling, making continuous noises.
Bai Moru took the iron basin on the side and placed it in it, then poured the prepared rice milk into it and kept stirring until the rice milk became thick.
After letting it cool down, add the melted yeast water, stir evenly, cover the lid, and place it near the stove to ferment.The fermentation process is more cumbersome and takes the most time.
By the time Bai Moru got these things ready for steaming, it was already two hours later.
And over there, the preparations for the White House are almost over.
When the sun climbed overhead, Byford over there was making dinner.
In the courtyard, Liu Ru and Bai Xueming repeatedly confirmed with Bai Moru that there was nothing that needed help before walking towards the hall.
The benevolent family was invited to accompany this time, and they were among the people invited to accompany them. Now that the banquet is open, they naturally need to go to accompany them early.
Bai Moru was supposed to go too, but the dim sum in his hands still needed some time, so he asked Liu Ru and Bai Xueming to go there first, and he would arrive after the dim sum was cooked.
At the dinner table, Bai Fude was displeased to see Bai Moru's vacant seat, but the person sent replied that Bai Moru would definitely be able to catch up, so he didn't go to Bai Moru to urge him.
After everyone entered the table, Bai Fude, whose face was flushed and excited, stood up and offered wine to Shan Yucheng, poured another cup of tea for Mrs. Shan, and then said: "You two are able to condescend and condescend, it really makes the humble house shine. , the old man is here to offer a toast to the two of you."
Although this is not the first time that everyone has gathered for a meal, and it is not the first time that this has been said, the etiquette that should be done is still required.
Byford made a toast, and the person toasting on the table was still only Mrs. Shan.Shan Yucheng only moved his amber eyes with cold light, and then touched the cup on the table to express his affection.
Lin Xuecui was still a little distracted, she was obviously absent-minded after eating a meal, and Bai Fude's face was ashen.
It's fine if Bai Moru doesn't come for a long time, why even Lin Xuecui embarrasses him?
How important this banquet is to him, don't these two people know? !
While suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, Byford took the initiative to lead the topic to the batch of food stored by the Shan family after drinking for three rounds.
"Ru'er and Mr. Shan can become friends, which really makes me feel honored and blessed by my ancestors. So I also ask Mrs. Shan to take care of this business matter, and it will be convenient." Baiford said drunkenly. Looking at Mrs. Shan.
This good family member has been shirking since he moved in. Today is his last chance, and he is bound to win this business.
Mrs. Shan smiled without changing her face when she heard the words, but her eyes fell on Shan Yucheng, who had been silent since the conversation that day.
After a while, she looked back at the vacant place on the table, and said with a smile: "I heard people say that Cheng'er came here because Mr. Bai is good at making dim sum. Didn't have the luck to try it."
Mrs. Shan's words made Bai Fude, who was rejected again, look cloudy and uncertain, but Lin Xuecui, who was next to him, gritted his teeth and made up his mind, and Bai Chulu's eyes lit up and he had an idea in his heart.
Bai Moru, who was mentioned by everyone, was currently carrying a basket and walking leisurely on the way to the living room like a stroll in the courtyard.He was not fast, on the contrary he was a little slow, as if he was waiting for someone.
After suddenly seeing Bai Chulu and Lin Xuecui walking towards him in the distance, he quickened his pace and took two steps to the bridge of the artificially carved lake in the White Mansion.
This lake was chiseled out by Lin Xuecui's arty people. It's called Yue'er Lake. It cost a lot of money at the beginning, but it's only fresh for about a month. I haven't seen her stay here for a while.
This bridge is the only way to go to the living room, and it is also a bright place that is easy to be found.
As soon as Bai Moru got on the bridge, the two people in the distance immediately spotted him, and they both quickened their pace and walked towards the bridge.
From a distance, Bai Moru looked at Lin Xuecui, who had dark eyes, and Bai Chulu, who was full of excitement. He stopped and waited with great interest, waiting for the good show to begin.
Since the rain that day, the weather has become even hotter, and the sun is even hotter at noon.
A few days passed, and the originally deserted courtyard began to become lively after Mrs. Dashan also moved in.
The crowd in this yard is not only because of one more person, but also because Bai Chulu has been running to this yard more diligently recently.
In the past, Bai Chulu ran to this yard every day, and it was all for Shan Yucheng, but now she is no longer going for Shan Yucheng, but for Mrs. Shan.
Not to mention taking care of the three meals a day, I don’t forget to personally deliver snacks and afternoon tea on weekdays, and I run extraordinarily hard.
As the time for the previously set banquet approached, Mrs. Shan had asked people to pack things in advance, and was going to go home immediately after the banquet.
She made a plan to go to the temple next month to fulfill her vows. Originally, she had more than enough time to go directly after coming down from the mountain, but because Shan Yucheng left midway and she turned back, it was delayed for some time.
After Mrs. Shan asked the servant girls around her to pack up all the things, she found Shan Yucheng.
The two were sitting in the gazebo, Madam Shan said straight to the point: "You have been out to play for a while this time, it's time to go back with me. My side is ready, you ask Chu Wu to pack your luggage, Give them a ride."
Hearing Mrs. Shan's words, Shan Yucheng's somewhat translucent eyes moved, but he didn't respond.
Mrs. Shan saw it and said: "We agreed before, I asked you to come here and you accompany me to fulfill your wish."
When Shan Yucheng heard that Mrs. Shan was looking aside with alienated and indifferent eyes, he struggled a little.
He didn't want to leave, and he wanted to spend some time here.
Thinking of Bai Moru, Shan Yucheng's amber eyes couldn't help but glow.
Mrs. Shan saw his intentions and didn't point it out. She just said: "The two of us have been away from home for a while, and it's about time to go back to see your father and grandfather. I just received a message from my family two days ago. The message came, saying that it was your grandfather who wanted to see you because he didn't eat."
Hearing his words, the expression on Shan Yucheng's face softened a little, but the nostalgia in his eyes was still there.
"Besides, you should know, your master also told you not to stay in one place for a long time..." Mrs. Shan's faint words came, "And what if something happens to Mr. Bai?"
The days she lived in the White Mansion, she could tell that Shan Yucheng was really different from Bai Moru, that was something that even her own mother couldn't get.But she also saw some other things at the same time, and because she saw it, she rushed to take Shan Yucheng back.
Some things, strangled in the cradle is the best choice for everyone.
And although Shan Yuzhu's incident back then could not be completely blamed on him, but Shan Yucheng's fate of being hit with evil spirits by the lonely star that day was the real thing, not fake at all.
Since Shan Yuzhu fell into the water and died of wind and cold at the age of seven, many changes have occurred in Shan's family in these years.
First, Shan Tianze, the original head of the Shan family, Shan Yucheng's grandfather Shan Tianze, suffered a sudden stroke and lay in the hospital bed for nearly two years. After seeing many famous doctors, big and small, he was finally able to get up and walk around, but his brain began to feel a little abnormal. .
Nowadays, he is always sober and sometimes crazy. When he is sober, he is like a normal person. When he is crazy, he is like a seven or eight-year-old child, naughty and irritating.
After Shan Tianze's accident, it was Shan Yucheng's father Shan Hao who had the accident immediately.
After Shan Tianze's accident, the burden of the Shan family fell on Shan Hao's shoulders. In order to take care of the business, he began to run around, but unexpectedly met bandits on the road and was robbed of money, not to mention pushed off the cliff.Although he eventually regained his life, he limped a leg.
Even she was insane for two years after Shan Yuzhu's death before being cured...
It would be fine if these things only happened to Shan's family, but over the years, many people who were a little close to him have also had troubles.Coupled with Shan Yucheng's already deserted and alienated personality, gradually everyone began to avoid him, and his temperament became more and more alienated.
If Shan Yucheng stays, it will be a disaster for him and others.
Over the years, she took Shan Yucheng around to pray for blessings. While praying for blessings, she wondered if she could meet an expert to change Shan Yucheng's life, but she tried countless methods, but nothing worked.
Hearing this, Shan Yucheng swallowed the words that were already on his lips, and his sharp and delicate facial features gradually became cold under these words.
When he looked up again, his amber eyes were already as cold as ice, and the alienation and indifference between his brows and eyes was like the morning frost in winter, a little heavier.
"You don't want him to have an accident, do you?" Seeing that Shan Yucheng was like this, she was a little cautious when she spoke again, and she said: "If you like this place, mother will accompany you to pray for blessings after a while?"
For a while, the house was eerily silent.
After a while, Shan Yucheng got up and stood up. He walked towards the door, and when he came to the door, he stopped and said, "I'm going out for a walk."
Seeing Shan Yucheng leave, Mrs. Shan, who was left alone in the house, stared at the direction of his departure, and then sighed helplessly after a long time.
Shan Yucheng left the yard and walked towards the outside of the Baifu, but accidentally bumped into Baiford on the way.
Bai Fude was also surprised to meet Shan Yucheng. Although Shan Yucheng lives in the Baifu, he spends most of his time in the courtyard and rarely goes out.
During this period of time, he has been preparing funds to make enough preparations for the business with Shanjia.He has gathered all the funds of some shops and firms under his name, and is going to take this opportunity to gamble and give it a go!
Now meeting Shan Yucheng who is alone, Bai Fude hastily greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Shan, where are you going?"
Shan Yucheng turned a blind eye and just continued to walk forward casually.
Baiford was rejected, but he was not angry about it. On the contrary, he was a little excited. It was the first time since Shan Yucheng lived in the White House that he had the opportunity to contact him alone. This was a good opportunity.
"Are you still used to living in that yard?" Bai Furu rubbed his hands and asked, "I heard that Bai Moru often runs to the kitchen recently, does the dim sum he makes meet Mr. Shan's wishes?"
Hearing Bai Fude mentioning Bai Moru, Shan Yucheng finally reacted, he turned his head and glanced at Bai Fude with cold eyes.
"Sir Shan, to tell you the truth, I have something to ask for, and I ask Mr. Shan to fulfill it for the sake of my son." Byford said nervously.
While talking, the two had walked along the corridor to the gate of the White Mansion, Shan Yucheng did not stop, he continued to walk towards the door.
"I heard that there is a stockpile of grain in the good family's treasury that is going to be transported to the disaster area. It just so happens that some people in my hands have some time. I wonder if Mr. Shan can give some of it to me?" Baiford explained the purpose of his visit.
The guard at the side saw Byford and was about to come forward, but was waved back by Byford.
After leaving the White Mansion, Shan Yucheng walked straight forward on the road under his feet, and after passing a section of residential buildings, he turned a corner and came to the street where he met Bai Moru before.
Today is not the day to go to the market, so the streets are deserted, the roadside vendors look lazy and listless, and the pedestrians on the road are only in twos and threes.
Walking down the road, Byford dutifully pointed at the surrounding streets and introduced carefully, but Shan Yucheng, who wanted to be quiet, was a little annoyed by what he heard.
After walking for half a street, Shan Yucheng said: "We'll talk about this after the banquet, you can go."
Seeing Shan Yucheng's cold eyes, Bai Fude stopped in embarrassment and did not follow.
After separating from Na Shanyu, Bai Fude turned back to the mansion.
After entering the White Mansion, he recruited the servants around him to inquire about Lin Xuecui's whereabouts, and after learning of Lin Xuecui's whereabouts, he rushed straight there.
In Bai Chulu's courtyard, Lin Xuecui, who was sitting in the living room, saw Bai Fude enter, she quickly stood up and greeted her with a smile, "Master."
She led Baiford into the room and pressed him on the stool, then served tea and water, and finally stood behind Baiford, stretching out her slender hands to rub his shoulders to relieve his fatigue.
"How about the dessert?" Byford asked.
People from this good family have lived in the mansion for more than ten days, but his business still hasn't made any progress, so he is a little anxious.
"Master, don't worry, with me watching, there will be absolutely no problems." The smile on Lin Xuecui's face froze imperceptibly after hearing Baiford's question.
"That's good. You have to keep an eye on it. If something goes wrong, I'll ask you." Byford pretended to be fierce.
He could see what Shan Yucheng meant, and he would not let go of the business until the banquet was over.
Standing behind Baiford, Lin Xuecui's face was a bit ugly, but she smiled and said coquettishly: "Master, are you still worried about me? I have been with you for decades, and you are still not at ease when I do things. ?"
After Lin Xuecui said this, Bai Fude finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he asked Lin Xuecui about some big and small things in the mansion before leaving.
After Baiford left, the smile on Lin Xuecui's face couldn't hold back, she was not sure about this snack at all.
Lin Xuecui, who had given up on making dim sum by herself and was about to use a strong one, still felt uneasy after thinking about it, so she quickly walked towards the yard next to her.
After entering the courtyard, she was relieved to see that the two members of Shan's family were not in the courtyard, and her arrogance also became arrogant.
Seeing Liu Ru in the yard, Lin Xuecui stepped forward and asked bluntly, "What about the sick child?"
After Lin Xuecui was beaten half to death by Baiford before, she calmed down for a while, and she spoke more politely. Seeing Lin Xuecui's arrogant appearance again, Liu Ru immediately became alert.
"What do you want from him?"
"Where is the person?" Lin Xuecui frowned impatiently, "You'd better tell me where the sick child is quickly, and you will feel better if the matter of the master is delayed."
Liu Ru heard that it was related to Byford, and thought it should be about the banquet. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "You wait here, I'll call him."
After speaking, Liu Ru walked towards the house where Bai Moru lived.
At noon, Bai Moru was a little tired, so he took a nap.
Lin Xuecui saw Liu Ru knocking on the door for a long time, but no one in the room responded, she quickly ran out of patience, stepped forward and kicked open the door and walked in.
"What time is it and you are still lying on the bed, have you prepared the snacks that the master asked for?" Lin Xuecui stared at Bai Moru who was awakened on the bed.
Now that she has made up her mind to use force, Lin Xuecui is no longer in the mood of pretending to be a snake with the mother and son.
While speaking, Lin Xuecui stepped forward and wanted to drag Bai Moru up from the bed, "Don't hang around here, hurry up and make something for me, it will be time for the banquet in two days."
Bai Moru dodged to the side, avoiding Lin Xuecui's hand, he was not surprised by Lin Xuecui's attitude changed drastically, and probably guessed Lin Xuecui's current plan after stealing.
But after Lin Xuecui's reminder, Bai Moru really remembered that the time for the banquet was approaching.
Bai Moru looked at the sky outside the window, since the time for the banquet was approaching, it was about time for him to close the net.
He was a little tired of living in this White Mansion.
002.
"Since the time for the banquet is approaching, why does Mrs. Bai still have time to come here? Or is Mrs. Bai really generous and not in a hurry at all." Bai Moru looked at Lin Xuecui in front of him.
Lin Xuecui, who was about to make a move, stopped when she heard the words, and looked at Bai Moru suspiciously, "What do you mean?"
"What do I mean?" Bai Moru got off the bed while speaking, he took the clothes from the side and put them on his body, and then turned to look at her.
During this period of time living in the White Mansion, Bai Moru didn't just bask in the sun leisurely all day and only went to the kitchen occasionally to walk around. He inquired about some interesting things.
Seeing Bai Moru pretending to be a ghost, Lin Xuecui frowned deeply, "Don't play such petty tricks, let me tell you, now obediently let me go to the kitchen to make things, if the master's business is delayed, you will feel better."
"Hahaha... It seems that Mrs. Bai is really forgiving. She still thinks about Master Bai at this moment." Bai Moru chuckled and shook his head while pulling his hair. Because he didn't sleep well, his eyebrows The sadness in the room is even worse.
Bai Moru walked towards the door, as if he really responded to Lin Xuecui's words and prepared to go to the kitchen.
Bai Moru walked swiftly, but Lin Xuecui started scratching her ears and cheeks when she heard what he said just now.
Why is she so relieved?
Seeing that Bai Moru was about to walk out of the yard, Lin Xuecui hurriedly stopped him, "Please tell me clearly what you mean by what you said just now, what does it mean to be lenient, and you are not allowed to leave unless you explain clearly."
Hearing this, Bai Moru stopped and looked back at Lin Xuecui, his dark eyes were full of teasing, and his voice was full of laughter when he spoke, "Madam Bai, it's this time, don't you really take it seriously? Master Bai did all this with great fanfare for the sake of your mother and son, right?"
Just as Bai Moru finished speaking, Lin Xuecui's expression on the opposite side changed several times.
"When I ask more questions." Bai Moru said: "In the past twenty years, Mr. Bai has been away for a long time, and occasionally only stayed for half a month when he came back. Could it be that Mrs. Bai really didn't get up at all? Suspicious?"
Lin Xuecui was originally a suspicious woman, his words fell into Lin Xuecui's ears, it was really harsh.
"What nonsense are you talking about, don't sow discord here." Lin Xuecui shouted immediately.
"Madam Bai, you're so excited, it seems you know what's in your mind, so I won't say anything more." Bai Moru jokingly glanced at Lin Xuecui, whose face was getting uglier, and he turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
The moment he turned his head, the smile in his eyes gradually turned cold, and that sinister look made his entire face even more sickly and pale.
He has a bad temper, he only gives him a chance once, and Lin Xuecui keeps offending him again and again, just apologize and it's over?
That is impossible!
He offered to live in this Baifu compound, not just to let her, Lin Xuecui, serve him tea and water.
Bai Moru left the courtyard and walked towards the kitchen casually. He didn't walk fast, and only waited for Lin Xuecui to catch up behind him.
Sure enough, he hadn't gone far when Lin Xuecui rushed over and stopped in front of him domineeringly.
"You just said that the master did all this not for us or for this family, so what did you say it was for?" Lin Xuecui asked pantingly.
Bai Moru took a step to the right, bypassed her and continued to walk forward.
"Stop!" Lin Xuecui chased after her again.
"Is there something else for Mrs. Bai?" Bai Moru looked at Lin Xuecui's dark face and smiled lightly.
"Do you know something?" Lin Xuecui's heart was in a mess, all because of Bai Moru's question of 'I've never been suspicious' just now.
After she got married to Baiford, Baiford traveled around all year round because of business matters, and he didn't go home a few times a year, and each time he stayed for at most half a month.
Now she is used to this kind of life, but when she was newlyweds, she also lost her temper in the face of such gatherings and separations, but Byford persuaded her that it was all for her and the children, and he really loved her. She also endured it silently.
The two have been getting together less often, and Baiford is a mature man, at the age of a wolf and a tiger, Lin Xuecui is somewhat calculating in her heart.
But after all these years, she had never seen Bai Fude enjoying flowers and grass outside, and she brought Bai Ruanfeng by her side later, so she gradually lost this precaution.
Now that Bai Moru casually said something ambiguously, the seed of suspicion immediately germinated in her heart.
Lin Xuecui didn't trust Bai Moru at first, but she was out of control in this matter. Although she warned herself not to believe it, she couldn't help but want to listen.
"There is only one thing I can say about this matter." Bai Moru looked at Lin Xuecui with pitiful eyes, "This time, Master Bai's personality changed drastically after he came back. Beating and scolding, haven't you thought about why?"
Lin Xuecui pursed her lips and stared, the expressions in her eyes changing repeatedly.
She really didn't notice before Bai Moru didn't say it, but now that she thinks about it carefully, after Bai Fude's return this time, his personality really changed as Bai Moru said.
Before, she tried every means to sow dissension and wanted Bai Fude to sever ties with that little bitch Liu Ru. Bai Fude kept saying that Bai Moru and Bai Xueming were his flesh and blood, and that blood was thicker than water, so he was unwilling to agree.
But within two days after returning this time, Bai Fude came to the door by himself and severed ties with that little bitch Liu Ru.
At that time, she just went there to be happy, and didn't think much about it at all.
Later, she was beaten and scolded by Byford, and she thought it was because of something she did wrong. Now that I think about it, if Byford used to dote on her, even if she did something wrong, she would never be willing to touch half of her finger .
Baiford's personality has changed drastically since he came back this time. Could it be that there is really something hidden from her?
Or, did Byford really have other women outside?
When he came back this time, he severed ties with Liu Ru and beat her. Could it be that he wanted to take that woman back to live with her? !
Don't think about it, that's impossible, she will never allow it!
This White Mansion can only have her as the mistress, she will never allow a second woman to live in, besides, who knows what that woman is thinking.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuecui's face turned pale, and she remembered the things between herself and Liu Ru.
Thinking of Liu Ru, Lin Xuecui's unwavering heart was shaken again. If that woman is after the position of Mrs. Bai, then she...
Lin Xuecui stood in the same place with a face that was cloudy and sometimes sunny. Seeing this, Bai Moru kindly added another sentence, "About this matter, the three of us, the mother and the child, don't really care. For the sake of calling you aunt, after all, we didn’t spend much on Master Bai, did we? But you, don’t end up making wedding dresses for others.”
After finishing speaking, Bai Moru turned and left heartlessly, this time he didn't stay any longer.
He has already planted the seed in Lin Xuecui's heart, and watered it, it depends on when it will germinate and bloom.He didn't ask Lin Xuecui to really believe what he said, as long as she couldn't stifle the suspicion in her heart these days.
The snake does not die, but suffers from it.
He will not give this woman Lin Xuecui a second chance to push him to the ground and beat him until he has no power to fight back and can only lie on the ground convulsing and lingering.It wouldn't give her another chance to rush into his house with someone arrogance, clamoring for beating and killing.
Besides, Lin Xuecui still owes him a life!
The original owner of this body, Bai Moru, died!
The reason why Bai Moru was replaced by him was because of Lin Xuecui's anger, he was so depressed that he couldn't afford it, and then he was tortured to death by a small wind and cold.
The reason why Bai Moru was angry was because Lin Xuecui smashed a small bowl of sugar cake that he secretly bought on the street.
He bought the bowl of sugar cake secretly to save money on medicine, and secretly went to the street to buy it as a gift for Liu Ru to celebrate his birthday, but when he was shopping, he happened to be blocked by Lin Xuecui, who was shopping.
Because Lin Xuecui guessed that he was saving money on medicine, she felt that he didn't know how to be grateful, and instead used Byford's hard-earned money to buy these snacks and wanted to beat people.
As a result, Liu Ru's birthday that day started when she was beaten by Lin Xuecui, and then ended with being locked up in a firewood house for the night.
Afterwards, the more Bai Moru thought about it, the more angry he became, the more unwilling he became, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became.
He was not in good health, and after being depressed, he almost lay in bed and couldn't get up.
Not long after he caught the cold, Liu Ru went to the compound to collect the monthly payment for that month. As a result, Lin Xuecui kept delaying and refusing to pay the money on the grounds that they had money to buy snacks and must have hidden a lot of money, which eventually led to Bai Moru couldn't make it through.
Although no one else knew about it except him, Bai Moru didn't think it was something that could be ignored.
This life, he counted on her, Lin Xuecui.
However, according to his original thinking, he thought it would take more effort, but he didn't expect that things would develop more smoothly than he imagined.
Especially that Bai Chulu, before he had time to do anything, she made a net to trap herself, then sharpened her head and forced her way in.
After Bai Moru left in a happy mood, Lin Xuecui stood alone in the corridor for a long time in a daze.
Bai Moru had been busy in the kitchen for a long time when he accidentally heard about it from other servants.
Regarding this matter, Bai Moru just smiled, although there was no smile in his eyes.
After living in the White Mansion, he intentionally inquired about the relationship between Bai Fude and Lin Xuecui.
It is well known that Bai Fude spends less time with Lin Xuecui all year round, but some things are hidden deeply, such as Lin Xuecui and Bai Fude sleeping in separate rooms.
Logically speaking, Lin Xuecui and Bai Fude usually get together less and leave more, and Bai Fude usually dotes on Lin Xuecui so much. After he came back, the two of them should be like glue, but in fact it is not the case.
Just like this time, after he occupied Lin Xuecui's yard, Lin Xuecui did not move into Baiford's yard, but lived in his daughter Bai Chulu's yard.
It would be fine if Baiford was not at the house at the moment, but Baiford had obviously returned, so it would be a little strange if he was still like this.
003.
In the evening, the atmosphere in the Baifu courtyard was completely different from before.
At dinner time, this feeling is even more obvious.
After the whole meal, Lin Xuecui's face was cloudy and sunny, and she would look at Baiford next to her and grit her teeth from time to time.
Bai Chulu was still the same as before, her whole mind was devoted to Mrs. Shan, she took care of her in every possible way, and she even didn't mean to mention that she 'personally' cooked two vegetarian dishes.
Bai Fude kept his eyes on Shan Yucheng, and he remembered which dish Shan Yucheng had two extra chopsticks in.
I don't know if it was because of the influence of Lin Xuecui and Bai Fude, Mrs. Na Shan and Shan Yucheng at the dinner table also had their own concerns and looked depressed.
Sensing the weird atmosphere at the table, both Liu Ru and Bai Xueming ate without saying a word.
Among the people at the whole table, Bai Moru was the only one who was really in a good mood, with a strong appetite.
The next day, there was a tense atmosphere in the lower world of the Baifu, because tomorrow was the time for the banquet, so Baiford personally gave an order to let them start preparing in advance.
At this time, Shan Yucheng had already packed his things and was going to leave after the luncheon the next day.
Lin Xuecui still looked out of her mind, wandering around the yard all day long, but now the servants in the yard are busy, and no one cares about her.
In the evening, Lin Xuecui suddenly hugged her stomach and complained of pain.Byford was too busy with the matter at hand, so he only asked his servants to hire a doctor, and then plunged in again.
Knowing that Shan Yucheng was leaving, Bai Chulu was sitting next to Mrs. Shan crying with red eyes and wiping tears. Cherry's little mouth was full of reluctance for Mrs. Shan.
She fell in love with Mrs. Shan, she and Mrs. Shan are as close as friends, she and Mrs. Shan met each other late, and she and Mrs. Shan are the mother and daughter who have been separated for many years.
Hearing that Mrs. Shan was leaving, she was so heartbroken that her heart ached and she wanted to collect her things and go with Mrs. Shan.
Feeling the inexplicable tense atmosphere in the White Mansion, both Liu Ru and Bai Xueming couldn't help becoming tense.
In the small courtyard, after Bai Moru leisurely washed and ate breakfast, he wandered to the kitchen to fetch well water, and then went back to the courtyard to soak rice, making little preparations for tomorrow's dessert.
This night, many people in the White House are doomed to sleepless.
However, Bai Moru was not included here. Unlike those nights when his chest always hurt and made him sweat all night and had nightmares, he slept very comfortably this night.
In the early morning of midsummer, the sun shines through the thin clouds and falls in the courtyard that still has some morning light and mist.
Bai Moru, who had a particularly comfortable sleep this time, stretched his arms lazily, smiling and looking at the warm golden sunlight in the yard, feeling very good.
It seemed to suit Bai Moru's mood, the sun today was exceptionally good.
In the courtyard, other people are already busy.
Because the banquet was held at noon, the kitchen was already bustling with activity. The servants in the mansion helped, and those who were not in the kitchen were all energized and ready to fight.
The gate of the Baifu is also busy at the moment, the people from the Shan family have already set up the carriage and are loading things on it, just waiting to go.
In the small courtyard, seeing Bai Moru getting up, Liu Ru hurriedly took out the breakfast that had been prepared from the basket on the table in the living room, set it up early, and invited Bai Moru to eat.
"The house is busy today, so I went earlier to order some porridge. Your brother and I have eaten it. These are reserved for you."
Bai Moru sat down at the table, drank in small sips, and his eyes fell on the light and shadow swaying with the morning wind in the courtyard.
Before he finished his bowl of porridge, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard door, and Byford rushed in nervously.
Seeing that Bai Moru was still drinking a bowl of porridge at this moment, he suddenly became angry, and immediately blushed and shouted: "What are you doing at this hour, don't hurry!"
When Liu Ru saw her, he wanted to go forward and say a few words, but Bai Fude gave her a hard look in the blink of an eye. His nerves were too tense, and he wished he could rush up and slap Liu Ru twice.
When is this all?
Everyone in the courtyard was busy, and Bai Moru was still eating here. Doesn't he know how important today is to him? !
The same goes for Liu Ru, who didn't know how to help.
Bai Moru, who was rare for Baiford's ferocity, didn't mind. After gulping down the porridge in the bowl, he stood up.
"Don't worry, I still have plenty of time here, I have a sense of proportion, and I won't delay your business." Bai Moru said in a good mood.
Seeing what Bai Moru said, Bai Ford left in a hurry.
After a while, Baiford's roar came from not far away, as if some servant had misplaced his things.
When Bai Moru came to the yard, he rolled up his sleeves and looked at the stove and some kitchen utensils that had been moved in last night.
The banquet was held at noon, so of course it was impossible to just eat snacks, so the main event was the food on this table before the snacks after the meal, and his snacks were just an embellishment.
Since he has already received Baiford's money, he will naturally fulfill his promise with Baiford, and he will not lose any of this meatball.
But whether they can eat it depends on their own good fortune.
Bai Moru washed his hands, and drained the rice soaked last night with a sieve for later use.
After draining the rice, Bai Moru walked aside, and from the pile of ingredients that Lin Xuecui sent earlier, he found a few other things he wanted, yeast, high-quality white sugar, and some that can be used later for dyeing and flavoring seasonal vegetables.
Liu Ru didn't go outside, but stayed to help. Seeing Bai Moru start, she quickly rolled up her sleeves and came over to help Bai Moru grind the soaked rice on the small stone mill in the yard, and then helped prepare it. some other things.
The making of hair cake is actually not difficult. Compared with other dim sum, it can be regarded as an extremely simple and common food. Even Lin Xuecui probably knows how to operate it.
But the hair cake made by Bai Moru is similar to but different from other people's. It has a different texture, a different taste, and a particularly pleasing appearance.
After the preparations were done, Liu Ru went to the side to watch the fire, and Bai Moru would do the rest by himself.
After adding some water to the pot, Bai Moru took the rice milk that Liu Ru helped to grind, took a clean basin, added an appropriate amount of sugar and some oil, and stirred it carefully.
After a while, the rice milk in his basin became viscous.
At this time, the water in the pot was also boiling, and the transparent water was bubbling, making continuous noises.
Bai Moru took the iron basin on the side and placed it in it, then poured the prepared rice milk into it and kept stirring until the rice milk became thick.
After letting it cool down, add the melted yeast water, stir evenly, cover the lid, and place it near the stove to ferment.The fermentation process is more cumbersome and takes the most time.
By the time Bai Moru got these things ready for steaming, it was already two hours later.
And over there, the preparations for the White House are almost over.
When the sun climbed overhead, Byford over there was making dinner.
In the courtyard, Liu Ru and Bai Xueming repeatedly confirmed with Bai Moru that there was nothing that needed help before walking towards the hall.
The benevolent family was invited to accompany this time, and they were among the people invited to accompany them. Now that the banquet is open, they naturally need to go to accompany them early.
Bai Moru was supposed to go too, but the dim sum in his hands still needed some time, so he asked Liu Ru and Bai Xueming to go there first, and he would arrive after the dim sum was cooked.
At the dinner table, Bai Fude was displeased to see Bai Moru's vacant seat, but the person sent replied that Bai Moru would definitely be able to catch up, so he didn't go to Bai Moru to urge him.
After everyone entered the table, Bai Fude, whose face was flushed and excited, stood up and offered wine to Shan Yucheng, poured another cup of tea for Mrs. Shan, and then said: "You two are able to condescend and condescend, it really makes the humble house shine. , the old man is here to offer a toast to the two of you."
Although this is not the first time that everyone has gathered for a meal, and it is not the first time that this has been said, the etiquette that should be done is still required.
Byford made a toast, and the person toasting on the table was still only Mrs. Shan.Shan Yucheng only moved his amber eyes with cold light, and then touched the cup on the table to express his affection.
Lin Xuecui was still a little distracted, she was obviously absent-minded after eating a meal, and Bai Fude's face was ashen.
It's fine if Bai Moru doesn't come for a long time, why even Lin Xuecui embarrasses him?
How important this banquet is to him, don't these two people know? !
While suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, Byford took the initiative to lead the topic to the batch of food stored by the Shan family after drinking for three rounds.
"Ru'er and Mr. Shan can become friends, which really makes me feel honored and blessed by my ancestors. So I also ask Mrs. Shan to take care of this business matter, and it will be convenient." Baiford said drunkenly. Looking at Mrs. Shan.
This good family member has been shirking since he moved in. Today is his last chance, and he is bound to win this business.
Mrs. Shan smiled without changing her face when she heard the words, but her eyes fell on Shan Yucheng, who had been silent since the conversation that day.
After a while, she looked back at the vacant place on the table, and said with a smile: "I heard people say that Cheng'er came here because Mr. Bai is good at making dim sum. Didn't have the luck to try it."
Mrs. Shan's words made Bai Fude, who was rejected again, look cloudy and uncertain, but Lin Xuecui, who was next to him, gritted his teeth and made up his mind, and Bai Chulu's eyes lit up and he had an idea in his heart.
Bai Moru, who was mentioned by everyone, was currently carrying a basket and walking leisurely on the way to the living room like a stroll in the courtyard.He was not fast, on the contrary he was a little slow, as if he was waiting for someone.
After suddenly seeing Bai Chulu and Lin Xuecui walking towards him in the distance, he quickened his pace and took two steps to the bridge of the artificially carved lake in the White Mansion.
This lake was chiseled out by Lin Xuecui's arty people. It's called Yue'er Lake. It cost a lot of money at the beginning, but it's only fresh for about a month. I haven't seen her stay here for a while.
This bridge is the only way to go to the living room, and it is also a bright place that is easy to be found.
As soon as Bai Moru got on the bridge, the two people in the distance immediately spotted him, and they both quickened their pace and walked towards the bridge.
From a distance, Bai Moru looked at Lin Xuecui, who had dark eyes, and Bai Chulu, who was full of excitement. He stopped and waited with great interest, waiting for the good show to begin.
