Chapter 489: Profound
Yingying fireflies either fly among the trees, or perch on the green moss at the foot of the trees, and the cicadas chirp, making it quiet and warm.
Bai Qingyan changed into aqua-green clothes embroidered with camellias and silver silk lotus patterns, and a lotus-colored skirt, and walked along the illuminated corridor to Qingheyuan.
In the upper room, Dong Tingzhen was sitting in front of the soft couch by the window, fiddling with the three-legged gilt auspicious animal incense burner, and replaced it with the calming incense she specially mixed for Dong Shi today, and carefully explained to Dong Shi which spices she used.
Bai Qingyan stood in the courtyard, looked into the half-opened window, and saw Dong Tingzhen sitting under the lamp, holding a small copper spoon in her hand, adding incense to the incense burner with elegant movements, closing the lid of the incense burner, and smilingly letting Dong smell it.
Dong lowered her head and approached, lightly wrapped her sleeves with one hand, and gently slapped her in her direction with her hands, and praised with a smile: "Well, the fragrance is deep and light, and it smells very good."
"If my aunt likes it, I'll write down the prescription later. If my aunt doesn't want to do it, Tingzhen can do it for me..." Dong Tingzhen put the silver spoon aside and said with a smile.
"The eldest girl is here!" Seeing Bai Qingyan, Mother Qin hurriedly opened the curtain to welcome her out, and said with a smile, "Madam is discussing incense with my cousin. Back then, Madam was also a master at making incense. When she met our cousin, she would only It’s better to be ashamed!”
Mother Qin's words were meant to praise Dong Tingzhen, after all...Since the accident in the Bai family, Dong has rarely smiled. This time Dong Tingzhen came to Shuoyang to accompany Dong, which made Dong very happy. Some interesting things about being a girl in Dong's house.
Mother is good at and likes these elegant things, but since she started housekeeping, she has no time to do them.
Now back to Shuoyang, it is not as busy as when it was in the capital city, it is also great for Ting Zhen to accompany her mother to mix incense and play the piano.
Nanny Qin closed the curtain for Bai Qingyan with a smile, and entered the door to salute Mrs. Dong. Dong Tingzhen hurriedly got up and called her cousin cheerfully.
Mrs. Dong seemed to be still thinking about the incense, and raised her finger to point to the snacks and fresh fruits on the small table: "If Bao is hungry, please fill up the mat first, Mother Qin is going to give us some delicate dishes today, and we have to wait a while Woolen cloth!"
"Exactly!" Mother Qin picked up tea from the black lacquer and gold square plate brought in by the maidservant, and served tea to Bai Qingyan. There are such a few dishes, although the recipes are trivial and troublesome, but they are still fresh, and I want to give my wife and the two girls a taste of new ones!"
"The elders of the third generation know how to be served, and the elders of the fifth generation know how to eat. Grandmother is the best at it." Bai Qingyan sat down on the twig, smiled and took the tea handed by Qin Nanny, "Qin Nanny Being by my grandmother's side since I was a child, I'm naturally amazing..."
Nanny Qin is the dowry of the Dong family and the son of the Dong family.
The Dong family also has a very deep family background in Dengzhou.
"Cousin, whether you're praising grandma and the Dong family, or praising Mother Qin! Tingzhen will be honored by you... so proud!" Dong Tingzhen smiled straight with her lips covered with a handkerchief.
As soon as we mentioned Dong's family, there was a servant woman outside Qinghe courtyard who came to deliver a letter, saying it was from Dong's family in Dengzhou.
Nanny Qin went out to receive the letter, and handed it back to Mrs. Dong. While reading it, she said to Bai Qingyan: "Your uncle sent a letter saying that Chang Lan is coming to Shuoyang, and your grandmother asked Chang Lan to send some things."
"It's my aunt's birthday in a few days, and my grandmother and uncle must have sent Brother Changlan to see my aunt!" Dong Tingzhen immediately guessed the intention of the Dong family to send Dong Changlan to Shuoyang.
This year the Bai family has a filial piety, and Dong's birthday is not going to be celebrated, as long as her daughter can accompany her to have a meal, but as a mother, Mrs. Dong is naturally thinking about her daughter.
There was a smile between Mrs. Dong's eyebrows, and she read Dong Qingyue's handwritten letter several times. After counting the date, she was sure that Dong Changlan would arrive on July 21. Mrs. Dong raised her eyes and looked at Mother Qin: "Changlan and his wife are going to be together soon. Here, Mother Qin, you will order someone to tidy up Junzixuan tomorrow, and let Changlan live in Junzixuan when Changlan arrives."
Now that the Bai family is full of female relatives, Dong is thinking about who will accompany Dong Changlan. Bai Qingyan put down the teacup and said, "I will tell Bai Qingping to come over early to accompany Changlan. Mother wants to call more Clan brothers come over?"
"Brother Changlan is not an outsider, so why bother to find someone to accompany you when you see outsiders like that." Dong Tingzhen didn't mind at all, after all, the Dong family didn't know the situation of the Bai family, and the Dong family had heard about the behavior of the Bai family.
Mrs. Dong felt uncomfortable when she thought of the members of the Bai clan. At present, she only saw that Bai Qingping was still a good boy, so she waved her hand: "Ting Zhen is right, Changlan is not an outsider, so ask Qingping to come over here." That's it."
Mother Qin served the local Wufu tofu in Shuoyang today. The method is quite cumbersome. Boil the tender tofu in gravy for a while, soak it for a while, drain it and let it cool. The mouth is neat, coated with rose honey paste, smoked with fruit wood, dipped in sour plum sauce, the outside is burnt and the inside is tender, the entrance is fragrant with fruit wood, it melts when you sip your lips, and the taste is endless.
There are quite a few famous local dishes in Shuoyang, maybe there are not many that caught Qin Nanny's eyes, this Wufu tofu... Qin Nanny tasted it well, so she dared to arrange it at the master's table.
Dong Tingzhen and Bai Qingyan walked side by side after eating in Dong's Qinghe courtyard. After stepping out of the Qinghe courtyard and entering the corridor, Dong Tingzhen bowed her knees to Bai Qingyan in a serious manner.
"Tingzhen, why are you doing this?" Bai Qingyan thought that Dong Tingzhen had something to ask for, so she raised her hand to support Dong Tingzhen, "If you have something to do, just let me know."
Dong Tingzhen shook her head, looked up at Bai Qing with reddened eyes and said, "Thanks to my cousin for taking the lead in what happened to the king of Liang! Tingzhen also treats my cousin's belly with a villain's heart. If it wasn't for my cousin, I would definitely be in deep trouble." Knowing that, I was taken advantage of and thought that he had true feelings for me."
"You and I are sisters from our own family. Although we have different surnames, the bond of blood is the deepest bond in the world. I am your cousin...I will protect you!" Bai Qingyan smiled at Dong Tingzhen.
The love of blood is the deepest bond in the world...
Listening to Bai Qingyan's words, Dong Tingzhen remembered her father's words that she wanted to be with King Liang, but she didn't stop her father at that time, so where did she put her blood?
The more Dong Tingzhen thought about it, the more guilty she felt, and the tears burst out of her eyes. She didn't know how disappointed her father and mother should be with her at that time.
"Okay!" Bai Qingyan handed the handkerchief to Dong Tingzhen, "As long as you can turn around, uncle and aunt won't blame you! During this period, let's relax in Shuoyang. When the weather cools down, where do you want to let Xiao Wu and Xiaoliu will go with you, they like playing around with you the most!"
Dong Tingzhen nodded, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and changed the subject: "I heard that Jinzhi went out today."
