Chapter 867 Acquaintance

"Dad, I have other things to be busy with. Of course I have to run around for these little things." Bai Lixia said with a smile, "There are some goods to be delivered in the afternoon, but they are not far from our place. They are from Zhuangzi in the west. It’s just a side trip, so I thought I’d come back for lunch first.”

“I just made tofu ball soup at noon. I put some spinach in it. It has the peppery flavor you like. I don’t think you should wait for your father to come back for dinner at this time. You can eat it first.”

Su Mulan called Li and Xu to make the soup first, while she baked the water chestnut patties.

The water chestnuts are crunchy and mixed with the rich gravy. The skin of the meatloaf is grilled to a crispy texture. When you take a bite, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the gravy overflows in your mouth.

At this moment, having a sip of hot tofu ball soup is a great enjoyment.

Bai Lixia drank two bowls of tofu soup and ate two water chestnut meat cakes, then put down the bowl and chopsticks.

With his body completely warmed up, Bai Lixia went to tease the two little guys, Bai Zhiyi and Bai Yuling.

It has not yet reached the stage of adding complementary food. At the moment, the two little guys are just sucking milk in Su Mulan's arms. When Gudong Gudong is full, they also start to yawn.

The two little guys usually have a very regular schedule, but now they need to take a nap.

The two small wooden beds were made into cradle styles. After finishing burping the babies, they placed the two children on top of the small beds and rocked them gently. The two of them quickly closed their eyes and fell asleep.

Bai Lixia kissed the cheeks of the two little guys again, then put on the coat and the hot cloak that Su Mu Lan had placed near the stove to make the goods, and went to deliver the goods.

The snow is still falling outside, but the wind has become much lighter now, and the snow has changed from morning flakes to tiny snow particles.

It snowed lightly this time, and it was a sunny day yesterday. The snow that fell on the ground did not stay, and it did not affect Bai Lixia's carriage trip.

Bai Lixia drove the carriage skillfully and headed west.

After a brief inquiry, I finally found the Jiang family house mentioned on the list.

When the concierge learned that Linglong Pavilion was delivering the goods, he asked Bai Lixia to wait for a moment while the steward came to count the goods and settle the payment.

Seeing that Bai Lixia was a little girl, although the wind and snow had stopped, it was still very cold, so he asked Bai Lixia to rest for a while in the concierge and drink a cup of hot tea.

Bai Lixia obeyed her words and thanked the porter, and just waited for the steward to come by warming the charcoal fire in the porter's room.

After a while, the cotton curtain shook, and a figure came in.

Bai Lixia stood up in a hurry. When she saw that the person in front of her was Mo Shu, she was quite surprised, "Is it you?"

"Second Miss Bai?" Mo Shu was also very surprised to see Bai Lixia here. Then he looked at the concierge and saw that there was no one else, and laughed, "Just now the concierge said that the cloth and ready-made clothes from Linglong Pavilion have arrived, so I will come." Take a look, I never thought it was you."

"The shop was busy with business and the guys couldn't handle it, so I begged my parents to come to the shop to help." Bai Lixia pursed her lips and smiled, "You want to order some of these things?"

"You don't have to see the things in Linglong Pavilion." Mo Shu just handed the money he had prepared to Bai Lixia, "This is the remaining money. Second Miss Bai keeps it."

Bai Lixia accepted the money with a smile, "Thank you for your patronage. If you go to Linglong Pavilion to buy something again, mention my name and let shopkeeper Guo calculate the price."

“Sure.” Mo Shu nodded hurriedly.

After delivering the goods and collecting the money, Bai Lixia had other things to be busy with, so she didn't stay long and said goodbye first. Mo Shu sent him out the door.

"Please stay." Bai Lixia got on the carriage, gathered up her cloak, and threw off the reins. The horse neighed and the carriage moved forward slowly.

Mo Shumu sent the carriage away, then took those things and went to Jiang Huanrun's yard.

Jiang Huanrun was writing in the study. When he saw Mo Shu approaching, he didn't even raise his head. "Why did it take so long to get something? Is there something wrong with the things in Linglong Pavilion?"

It was the end of the year, and it happened to be Jiang Huanrun’s mother’s birthday.

Jiang Huanrun didn't know what to give, but I heard that people's mothers liked the cloth and ready-made clothes in Linglong Pavilion in the county. They thought the quality was good and the embroidery was excellent. When he happened to go shopping in the county, he heard the clerk from Linglong Pavilion said something new. Embroidered pictures and chose two outfits.

Jiang's mother often buys ready-made clothes in Linglong Pavilion, which are also in her size. Jiang Huanrun explained it and hurriedly made two pairs of clothes. Seeing that there were new styles of cloth, she also selected some and told Linglong Pavilion to wait for the ready-made clothes to be made. After that, they were sent together.

Someone from Linglong Pavilion sent a message yesterday, saying that the clothes and fabrics have been prepared and are expected to be delivered this afternoon to see if they are suitable.

Just now someone from the concierge sent word that someone from Linglong Pavilion was here. Jiang Huanrun didn't want others to know about these things, so he just called Mo Shu to get them.

Seeing Jiang Huanrun asking this question, Mo Shu pursed his lips and smiled, "It's not that the things in Linglong Pavilion are inappropriate, it's just that I met an acquaintance."

“An acquaintance? Who is it?” Jiang Huanrun put down the brush in his hand.

“Ms. Bai Er.” Mo Shu replied with a smile.

"Is it her?" Jiang Huanrun was immediately surprised, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the kite hanging on the wall of the study room.

The kite has become a little worn out over time, and even its color looks a little dark.

However, because it was hung in the most conspicuous place, and the wind and snow had stopped at this time, the light of the sun faintly penetrated the clouds and fell in front of the window, adding a bit of bright luster to the kite.

"Where is she? Why didn't you invite her to come in and sit for a while?" Jiang Huanrun raised his feet and was about to walk out.

"Master." Mo Shu stopped Jiang Huanrun, "I originally wanted to let the second lady sit for a while, but the second lady Bai said that the shop at home is busy and she still has a lot of work to do and a lot of goods to deliver. She really can't do more. delay."

"I saw that Second Miss Bai still had a lot of things on the carriage. I thought she was really busy and it was not just a random excuse, so she didn't force herself."

"Speaking of which, I really didn't expect that this Linglong Pavilion is actually the business of Miss Bai's family. Just now I saw Miss Bai, dressed in a cloak, bright clothes and angry horses, quite heroic and valiant, and she looked a bit like the young master's family. Woolen cloth."

Bai Lixia has an outgoing temperament, and she was friendly to them last time. When Mo Shu went to the Bai family to thank him, the other party was also very polite. Afterwards, he didn't say too much about the Jiang family. The impression of Li Xia is really good.

Mo Shu praised him a lot, and when he saw Jiang Huanrun looking gloomy, he knew that he was probably unhappy because he didn't meet Bai Lixia, so he just comforted him.

“Don’t feel sorry, young master. Since we know that Miss Bai works at Linglong Pavilion on weekdays to help the family, we will have the opportunity to meet her from time to time in the future.”

After all, it’s a bit presumptuous to go to someone else’s house, but if you go to Linglong Pavilion, it’s different. It’s justifiable, and it doesn’t seem so deliberate.
