Chapter 256
The brother and sister were talking so enthusiastically that they didn't notice anyone standing in the dark.
After they finished chattering, Dabao took the soup on the tray and carefully avoided the Qin family and walked to the new house.
Qin Xiaoxiao followed closely like a tail, looking around with her big eyes, for fear that someone would find her. After all, she pretended to be sleepy just a moment ago and was sent back to the old house to sleep by Lin Qiuniang. Now she ran out and wandered around to cause trouble.
.
Jing Heng listened confusedly and didn't know what they were going to do, so he followed them quietly with light steps.
In the new house, the bride Li Yingran was sitting on the wedding bed, and through her hijab she said to the two busy maids: "You two go find something to eat first. I'm afraid I'll have to help clean up after the banquet is over."
.”
Among the two maids, the oval-faced one is called Jimei and the round-faced one is called Jilan. They are both sixteen or seventeen years old and have been serving Li Yingran for several years.
"Girl, you haven't eaten yet. I'll go to the kitchen and bring you some food first." Jimei took out a set of red uniforms and hung them on the shelf beside the bed. He smoothed out the wrinkles on the corners of the clothes and responded.
"Girl, what do you want to eat? I will go to the kitchen right now." Jilan said cheerfully. She had not eaten much this day and she was also very hungry.
"After riding in the carriage all day, I really don't have the appetite to eat. Let's talk about it later." Li Yingran moved her stiff neck, and the tassels on her phoenix crown made a slight sound.
Just as Ji Lan was about to persuade, she suddenly heard a knock on the door. She looked over subconsciously and saw the ajar door being pushed open, and a young man with a smile on his face came in.
"Third Aunt, I brought you a bowl of fermented glutinous rice dumplings, do you want to try it?" Dabao nodded to Jilan, then placed the fermented fermented glutinous rice dumplings exuding a faint aroma of wine next to the bed, burning dragon and phoenix joy.
candle on a small square table.
"Are you the eldest master? I was going to the kitchen to get some food, but I didn't expect that the eldest master brought it first!" Jimei spoke to Dabao respectfully and enthusiastically, and at the same time explained Dabao's identity to Li Yingran.
After the Qin and Li families officially got married, the Li family inquired about the personnel of the Qin family. As a dowry maid, Jimei Jilan naturally had to know, so as not to make a joke and lose the face of her master.
There are only five children in the Qin family, and the age difference is huge. So when Dabao called Li Yingran, Jimei knew who he was.
This was the first time for Dabao to be called young master in his life. He blushed and felt a little uncomfortable, but he also knew that wealthy families had many rules, so he didn't worry about the title.
He pointed at the rice dumplings and said to Li Yingran: "Third aunt, this is made by the aunt who is the best at making rice dumplings in the village. There are also osmanthus flowers in it. It is fragrant and sweet and not greasy at all."
Li Yingran didn't expect that a boy like him would be so considerate. He brought her food and said warmly: "It tastes delicious as soon as you smell it. Thank you Dabao."
Dabao waved his hands repeatedly: "You are my third aunt. I can't thank you for bringing you some food. Third aunt, please eat it while it's hot. It won't taste like this when it's cold."
Li Yingran smiled and stretched out her hand towards Jilan who was standing aside: "I will listen to you. Third Aunt will eat it now."
She had a poor appetite and didn't want to eat. It's just that these fermented glutinous rice dumplings were Dabao's favorite, so even if she didn't want to eat them, she had to make a show of it.
Seeing that her girl was willing to eat, Jilan was so happy that she quickly took out a handkerchief and put it on Li Yingran's hand, then carefully picked up the rice dumplings and said, "Girl, be careful not to burn it."
Li Yingran didn't particularly like sweets, so she naturally didn't expect much from this bowl of fermented glutinous rice dumplings. Unexpectedly, as soon as she took a bite, her appetite was miraculously stimulated and she couldn't help but drink several sips in succession.
It's just that it's inconvenient to cover the head with a hijab. You have to poke your head slightly to avoid getting stains on the hijab. Even so, Li Yingran's every move is still pleasing to the eye, and she doesn't look embarrassed at all.
Seeing this, Jimei Guillen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he felt even hungrier and couldn't wait to have a bowl to fill his stomach.
Dabao glanced at the door and said with concern: "Are you two sisters hungry too? There is a lot of food in the kitchen. You guys eat some quickly. I'll stay here with Third Aunt."
Jimei Guilan looked at each other and felt a little moved.
Li Yingran gently stirred the glutinous rice dumplings and said through her hijab: "Go quickly and wait after you finish eating."
"Yes, girl." Jimei Jilan responded and walked out one after another, without closing the door tightly and not noticing Qin Xiaoxiao who was hiding behind the pile of dowry in the outer room.
Hearing their footsteps walking away, Qin Xiaoxiao walked out quietly. She came to the door of the room and was about to squeeze in when a hand suddenly covered her mouth, scaring her soul.
It's almost flying.
Dabao was talking to Li Yingran when the door was pushed open with a creak.
Li Yingran subconsciously looked at the door, but because her hijab blocked her view, she could only see the stone tile floor in front of her: "Who came in?"
Dabao turned his head and looked, his eyes widened in shock. After he realized what he was doing, he hurriedly said to Li Yingran: "Third Aunt, it was the wind that blew the door open. I'm going to close it right now."
After saying that, he glared at Jing Heng fiercely, and then his eyes fell on Qin Xiaoxiao, who was like a little quail, obviously thinking that she was the one who brought him here.
Jingheng ignored Dabao's attitude, and when Dabao deliberately closed the door forcefully, he took Qin Xiaoxiao and hid in the largest cabinet.
This cabinet is as tall as one person and is specially used to hang clothes. It is more than enough to hide two and a half-year-old children without feeling stuffy at all.
The material used is high-quality huanghuali, and the craftsmanship of the carpenter is not to mention. It only makes an inconspicuous sound when it is opened and closed.
Just at this time, the sound of firecrackers dispersing was heard in the yard again, completely covering up the strange noise. Li Yingran, who was sitting in front of the bed, had no idea that there were two more people in the room.
Dabao was uneasy. He always felt that something bad would happen if Jingheng was a variable. He began to regret that he should not have encouraged his little cousin to do such a thing, let alone help her and Jingheng cover up. Now he is riding a tiger.
