Glory all the way

Chapter 119
"Isn't it just that you are angry that Cousin Luo is in the limelight, and she still talks in such a high-sounding way, it's really boring."

Suddenly, Xue Zhe's voice came from behind.

Bai Yingluo looked at Bai Yingyun's back as she went away, seemed to have listened to her words, turned her head and smiled at Xue Zhe, leaned over and said, "It's getting late, cousin Xue has to get up early tomorrow to go to the academy. Let's go back early and rest."

After saying that, Bai Yingluo got up and walked away.

Bai Jinru just joined in the fun of preparing this birthday gift for Mrs. Bai, except that he begged for the congratulatory messages from the fourth master and fourth lady, and he didn't take much part in other things.

From preparing materials to lighting the lanterns, to going to the lotus pond to plan the layout, Xue Zhe and Bai Yingluo did everything.

Putting up lotus lanterns was what Luo Niang of the Bai family was best at in her previous life. Every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the lantern that is the most beautiful in the small river, floats the farthest, and has the longest burning candles, no need to ask, the one standing by the river Everyone knows that Luo Niang of the Bai family did it.

When she arrived at the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, Bai Yingluo had no chance to make lamps by herself after becoming a lady in rich clothes and fine food. Unexpectedly, she used it this time.

Originally, Bai Yingluo was worried that Xue Zhe, who was also pampered, would only make trouble. Unexpectedly, the lotus lantern he made was not bad at all compared to what she made.

After only one rehearsal, the two decided on their respective divisions of labor: Bai Yingluo went to the main house to celebrate her birthday, and led old Mrs. Bai to the backyard, and Xue Zhe took two servants to prepare for a series of things such as lighting. .

Both felt a little apprehensive. After all, it was a lantern that was out of human control, and it was already late autumn. As long as there was a slight breeze, the lantern might be blown away.

Fortunately, with the right time and place, everything went smoothly.

The biggest lantern in his hand floated directly to the feet of Old Master Bai. Xue Zhe, who was standing opposite the lotus pond, finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the movie, the girl's bright face looks more and more quiet and charming, and her pair of eyes are like a star in the night sky, which makes people immersed in it at a glance, unable to extricate themselves.

Standing foolishly for a long time, Xue Zhe didn't come back to his senses until Old Master Bai's comfortable laughter floated on the water.

At this moment, looking at Bai Yingluo's detached politeness instantly because of Bai Yingyun's words, and she seemed to be drifting away with the clever smile a few days ago, Xue Zhe suddenly had a feeling Feeling empty.

"Fifth Miss, if you follow your schedule, I'm afraid I will stay in Jing'an Hou Mansion for more than three months."

Inside Ruishu Pavilion, Madam Hua looked at Bai Yingyun who was progressing slowly, with a helpless expression on her face.

"Let Mammy worry..."

With her face flushed, Bai Yingyun said nastily.

Sister Hua sighed, and continued to teach without further words. When get out of class was about to end at noon, Sister Hua said, "In the afternoon, I will go to Madam Hou to discuss this matter. In two months, I will go to someone else Miss Wu should not delay other people's affairs because of Miss Wu's education at home. Therefore, in the future, I will have a little more content in class every day. Miss Wu can go down and figure it out on her own. I will take the school exam the next day, so maybe I can Hurry up."

After finishing speaking, Nanny Hua turned around and left the gate of Ruishuge, heading towards Mingya Garden.

Bai Yingyun bit her lips tightly, her hands tightly clutching the veil in her hand, as if she wanted to crush the veil.

The two of them were in class at the same time, and Bai Yingluo was always able to quickly grasp the essentials of the movements. After going back and forth a few times, and then doing it again, Bai Yingluo's set of movements was smooth and beautiful like clouds and flowing water. On the other hand, Bai Yingyun always made mistakes.

At first, when Bai Yingyun made a wrong move, Nanny Hua would patiently correct her. After a month passed, Nanny Hua's patience seemed to have worn off. Now, as long as Bai Yingyun can get by, Nanny Hua will just open her eyes. She turned a blind eye and let it go, but even so, it was quite different from what she expected before.

On the second day, Bai Yingyun felt more and more that her two eyes were not enough. Nanny Hua and Bai Yingluo made extremely simple movements, but when they came to her, they looked awkward no matter how they looked.

After class, Bai Yingyun ran back to Qiu Ranxuan with a mournful face, looking for the second wife to complain.

Bai Yingluo walked around the corridor and walked to Qing'an Hall slowly. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard old master Bai's hearty laughter from inside the room.

"Who's here?"

Bai Yingluo looked at Qiu Wen in puzzlement.

"It's Master Xue Biao and Young Master Du."

After Qiu Wen answered softly, she took a few steps forward and opened the curtain.

The old man Bai and the old lady Bai sat side by side on the soft couch at the top, and at the bottom, Du Xuan and Xue Zhe sat on the left and right. Zhe is like the cool autumn rain. At a glance, it looks like a banished fairy coming out of a painting, which is pleasing to the eye.

After greeting the two of them politely, Bai Yingluo lowered her head, walked up to Old Madam Bai and sat down.

"The two of you are both studying at Qingsong Academy, and you are classmates now. You should take care of each other on weekdays, and don't hold any prejudice against each other."

Knowing that Xue Yanzhai and Mrs. Xue originally planned to send Xue Zhe to Jingdu Academy, but because Xue Zhe heard about Du Xuan, he switched to Qingsong Academy, Old Master Bai urged him kindly.

"Yes, I dare not disobey my teacher/grandfather's orders."

The two stood up and responded, and after saying hello, they left Qing'an Hall.

"Is it the day of the academy's rest?"

Seeing that the two came together, Bai Yingluo guessed.

The old lady Bai nodded and said: "Yes, the two hit it off very well now. They attend classes together in the academy, and go to Zangshu Pavilion to copy books together after class. They are making out."

Knowing that Du Xuan and Xue Zhe had a friendship, Bai Yingluo also became happy.

In the previous life, Du Xuan had only Luo Niang by his side, but now, with the old man Bai and others who took care of him a lot, as well as his classmates who went to school together, Du Xuan was finally not alone.

Walking around a lot, Du Xuan is no longer as cautious as when he first came to Jing'anhou's mansion during the Dragon Boat Festival. Now that he is in Jing'anhou's mansion again, he sees the kind old man like Bai, the majesty like Jing'anhou, and ghosts. Du Xuan was able to deal with Bai Jinrui properly, even when he treated the servants he met when he came in and out, he was also humble and courteous. Made a comparison.

"Miss, Young Master Xue Biao and Young Master Du will definitely take part in the next year's examination. Tell me, who is better at learning between the two of them?"

Following Bai Yingluo towards Xiao Ya Zhai, Liu Ying asked curiously.

Bai Yingluo gave Liuying an angry look, "Cousin Xue met Yuan at the age of 14, and Mr. Du was praised by his grandfather. I am afraid that only the grandfather knows who is better between the two. But After all, knowledge is not the only condition for judging whether a person is good or not, and in the future, such words can no longer be said.”

A while ago, because of Old Master Bai's birthday gift, Bai Yingluo and Xue Zhe got closer, and after the birthday, some servants in the mansion began to chew their tongues, and Bai Yingluo went to Mingya Garden to present to Jing'anhou and Xue Zhe. Greetings, Mrs. Xue's complexion is not as gentle as before, she seems to be worried about what the two of them will do.

Knowing Xue's attitude, now that Bai Yingluo sees Xue Zhe again, she is afraid to avoid it. At such a time, if Liu Ying is heard to compare Xue Zhe and Du Xuan again, then the biography will be taken out of context. After all, Bai Yingluo would be more easily offended.

Liu Ying shrank her neck, nodded her head in agreement, and said nothing more.

After the afternoon class ended, Bai Yingluo went back to Lanxin Pavilion to change clothes and rested for a while, then rushed to Qing'an Hall, seeing Du Xuan and Xue Zhe were still there, she couldn't help showing a look of surprise on her face.

Glancing at Bai Yingluo slightly angrily, the old lady Bai greeted Du Xuan affectionately and said, "Du Xuan, since you have a good relationship with Zhe'er, you will often come to the mansion in the future. The old lady likes young people like you very much. People, chat and play chess together, even if he eats, he can add half a bowl, so come here often in the future, huh?"

Every time he came back to Jing'an Hou's Mansion, he left with big bags and small bags. Du Xuan was a little embarrassed, but the old man Bai had the kindness to support him. Very contradictory.

Now, after listening to old lady Bai say this, when he raised his eyes, he was facing the happy smile of old master Bai who was nodding again and again, surrounded by the warm feeling like a family, Du Xuan couldn't help nodding his head in response.

After listening to her grandmother's words, Bai Yingluo felt a little secretly happy.

While talking, Qiuwen and Qiuyue brought a few little maids to set up the dinner. Xue Zhe often had dinner in Qing'an Hall, so he cleaned his hands with ease. In contrast, Du Xuan felt a little embarrassed .

After several refusals, old master Bai couldn't hold back his enthusiasm, so Du Xuan got up and followed to the side room.

Sitting down one after another, Du Xuan happened to be next to Bai Yingluo. For a moment, let alone Du Xuan, even Bai Yingluo's heart jumped wildly.

After the meal, the old lady Bai took Du Xuan and Xue Zhe to the study, and Bai Yingluo snuggled up to the old lady Bai and talked.

After a while, the boy in the study came to spread the word, saying that old master Bai asked on which shelf Bai Yingluo put the set of ancient books brought from the south last year.

With the collection of books owned by her father Bai Shiming, Bai Yingluo is now a book fan, but later she didn’t have enough books to read. Bai Yingluo coquettishly pestered her grandfather, and got the right to enter and leave her grandfather’s study room. Now, Bai Yingluo always sneaks in to find books look.

After going there many times, Bai Yingluo acted as the maid in Old Master Bai's study. The entire row of bookshelves is now kept clean and tidy by her. If Old Master Bai is looking for any books, just ask Bai Yingluo.

Bai Yingluo said it carefully, and then heard the boy repeat it a few times, but it was all in a mess. Bai Yingluo turned to look at the old lady Bai, and seeing that she agreed, she got up and took the boy to the study.

In the Mingya Garden, when she learned that Bai Yingluo had entered the study, Xue's face was a little worried. Beside her, Wang Hui's family saw it, and persuaded her softly, "Ma'am, the old lady is here, and Mr. Du is also there. Even if Miss Six and Master Biao are together, they won't be able to say a few words, don't worry."

His thoughts were seen through, Xue was a little embarrassed, and explained, "Sister Luo, that child is a lovely one, why don't I treat her like my own daughter in my heart? But Zhe'er..."

Sighing, Mrs. Xue seemed to have made up her mind, looked up at Wang Hui's family's instructions and said, "In a while, you ask Zhe'er to come over, and I will tell him personally."

Wang Hui's family raised their feet to the outside, and went out to call the little maid to tell them. Xue lowered her head and murmured to herself: "Brother and sister-in-law entrusted him to me, so I naturally want to take good care of him. How can I let him go?" Did he have a relationship with others before he gained fame? Besides, Sister Luo... hey..."

Please sigh, there is a slight remorse on Xue's face.
