Glory all the way

Chapter 120 Uncle
After two or three days, Bai Yingluo received several books from Xue Zhe's servant.

Xue Zhe's servant said respectfully: "Miss Six, my young master said that I should thank you in person, but these days the academy is busy with studies, so I come back very late every day, for fear of disturbing the lady, so it's just a matter of time." The little one is here, I hope Miss will not mind."

She always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't realize it. Only now did Bai Yingluo realize it after hearing what the boy said. For several days, Xue Zhe didn't come to Qing'an Hall to have dinner together.

"Everything is mainly based on studies. Don't worry about such a trivial matter. Go back and tell your young master that if you have any books you want to read, you can borrow them at any time."

Bai Yingluo said easy-going, but a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on the boy's face, he scratched his head in response, turned around and left.

It wasn't until she turned around and entered the room that Bai Yingluo realized where the embarrassment on the boy's face came from.

Perhaps, Xue Zhe didn't come to Qing'an Hall for dinner and sent a servant to return the books just to avoid meeting him, but he was so stupid that he didn't see it.

"Miss, tell me, what does Master Xue Biao mean?"

Taking the book from Bai Yingluo's hand, Liusu asked a little puzzled.

Smiling disapprovingly, Bai Yingluo shook her head, "What's the point? Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, don't care about the frost on others' roofs."

A few days later, it was rumored that Xue Zhe had asked for accommodation in front of Mrs. Xue, and moved all the luggage that had been placed in the Jing'an Hou Mansion to the academy. He planned to live in the academy, so that he could spend more time quietly Set your mind to reading a book.

Before leaving, Xue Zhe also specially came to Qing'an Hall to bid farewell to old master Bai and old lady Bai, saying that there is no limit to learning, and now that he has entered the academy, he should study hard so as not to waste his parents' efforts for him.

Old Mrs. Bai always liked such motivated young people, so he immediately encouraged him a lot, while Mrs. Bai looked at Xue Zhe's lonely back, showing a thoughtful expression on her face.

By the time Bai Yingluo found out, it was already noon, and Xue Zhe had already been out of the residence for noon.

Confirming her guess in her heart, Bai Yingluo laughed at herself and put the matter behind her.

On the next school holiday, Du Xuan came to the door alone.

"Why didn't Xue Zhe come with you?"

They come and go often, and they are very familiar with each other. The maid served tea, and the old lady Bai asked with concern.

"Xue Xuedi went to the master's house yesterday to ask for homework. He didn't come back until Zishi. When he came, he said he had a headache and wanted to rest for a while. Let me come first. Maybe he will come in the afternoon."

Du Xuan answered truthfully.

The old lady Bai nodded and smiled, but said kindly: "Academics are important, but the body is more important. If you don't have a good body, you will get fame in the future, so you will be dragged down by your body? Remember this, Tell Xue Zhe when you go back. You two, not only should study hard, but also take good care of your own body, remember?"

This kind of concern is not fake at all, it sounds warm in the heart and body, Du Xuan got up and bowed, and solemnly agreed.

In the Lanxin Pavilion, Bai Yingluo got up after taking a nap, and headed towards Xiao Yazhai. After walking a few steps, she met Du Xuan who came out of Qing'an Hall and was about to go back.

"Miss Six..."

Du Xuan called politely.

Nodding her head and smiling slightly, Bai Yingluo and Du Xuan passed by, and after walking a few steps, a name popped up in her mind, Bai Yingluo turned her head and called Du Xuan, "Mr. A master whose surname is Zhuge?"

Turning around, Du Xuan nodded, and asked hesitantly: "There are two masters in the academy named Zhuge, they are a father and son. I wonder which one Miss Six is ​​asking?"

"This……"

I only vaguely remember that in the previous life, Du Xuan said that he met a Master Zhuge in a stationery shop in the capital, and he mentioned a few words during the conversation, which benefited him a lot. Out.

"I just heard people say that Mr. Zhuge's knowledge is very good. If I can get some advice from him, I will be able to get twice the result with half the effort. As for who it is, I don't know so clearly. Now, I just casually tell Du Young Master, as a reference, Young Master Du just listen to it, don't take it too seriously."

Bai Yingluo said while hiding.

"Since this is the case, what Miss Six must be talking about is Master Zhugeqing. He is the most rigorous and serious person who teaches us arithmetic now, and the students have benefited a lot. Master Zhugeqing's father, Old Master Zhuge Nan, does not teach much now. , I only study knowledge and write books in Zangshu Pavilion every day."

When mentioning the master in the academy, Du Xuan immediately exuded a respectful spirit.

Listening to Du Xuan's description, Bai Yingluo was generally certain that the person who called Du Xuan in the previous life should be the old master Zhuge who no longer taught.

However, after all, she is living in the daughter's house in a deep boudoir. If she knows this clearly about the master of Qingsong Academy, it will arouse suspicion. , perhaps it is more worthy of advice, Mr. Du, what do you think?"

After finishing speaking, Bai Yingluo smiled slightly, said "goodbye", and entered the courtyard gate of Xiao Ya Zhai.

Du Xuan pondered for a while in a daze, then turned around and walked away slowly.

In the embroidery class in the afternoon, Bai Yingluo took out one side of the double-sided embroidery that she had carefully embroidered and handed it to Master Yao. I feel complacent.

When it was time to finish class, Bai Yingluo planned to pester Master Yao and teach her some acupuncture techniques, but when she turned around, she saw Qiuyue standing outside the door, stretching her neck and looking into the room, knowing that Qiuyue must be looking for her. Bai Yingluo bowed to Master Yao and left Mingcuiju.

"Miss Six, Master Liu and his wife have just received a letter. The old lady invites you to take a look."

Qiuyue replied with a happy face.

"A letter from uncle?"

With an uncontrollable joy on her face, Bai Yingluo lifted her skirt and rushed towards Qing'an Hall.

In the main room of Qing'an Hall, the table was covered with many brocade boxes, and even in the center of the floor, there were several large boxes. After hearing the person's report, Old Madam Bai waved him to go down, and her eyes could not help but look at the table. There was a twist on the envelope above.

There was a sound of footsteps in the yard, the curtain was lifted, and Bai Yingluo rushed in cheerfully, "Grandma, did my uncle write?"

It's rare to see such a pretty little girl as Bai Yingluo, and the old lady Bai smiled, pointing to the cowhide envelope on the table, "Hey, open it and see for yourself."

Opening the envelope a few times, she read it word by word, and saw that it was all good news, so Bai Yingluo felt relieved, walked to Old Madam Bai and sat down, and began to read in a crisp voice.

Bai Yingluo's biological mother, Liu Shi, is the youngest daughter in the family. She has five brothers and sisters, but only one elder brother, Liu Tinghuai, who ranks fourth.

Mrs. Liu died young in the second year of her marriage to the Marquis of Jing'an. In the first few years, the three elder sisters often sent people to greet her. Alienated, only when the New Year will send someone to bring some gifts.

Bai Yingluo has no feelings for those three aunts whom she has never met.But the only uncle is the only warmth left in Bai Yingluo's heart.

Liu Tinghuai and Bai Yingluo's mother, Liu Shi, are the closest in age. Therefore, the relationship between the two is closer than that of the other three sisters. Although he is only a seventh-rank official, he is considered outstanding among his peers.

Uneasy about the comfortable life in the capital, in the second year, Liu Tinghuai recruited a sixth-rank magistrate who was released outside, and took his family to the barren land in the southernmost part of the Song Dynasty. Liu Tinghuai said that he would definitely make some achievements. .

When Bai Yingluo was six years old, Liu Tinghuai became the fifth-rank official and was already the local magistrate.

When returning to Beijing to report on her duties, Liu Tinghuai came to see Bai Yingluo in Jing'an Hou Mansion. It was the first time Bai Yingluo saw her uncle since she could remember.

That day, she was sent to Liu Tinghuai dressed up in Bai Yingyun's new clothes by the woman beside her at the order of the second lady.

Holding his sister's only flesh and blood in his arms, Liu Tinghuai's eyes were full of tears. He asked this and that with concern, and even quietly asked Bai Yingluo when the woman beside him was not paying attention, would he go to the south of the Yangtze River with him? The population is simple, and it will definitely not be as complicated as the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

She was six years old, but inside her body was a 17-year-old soul. Bai Yingluo remembered clearly that the second wife secretly told her mother-in-law that Liu Tinghuai wanted to use the opportunity of raising Bai Yingluo to ask for Liu's dowry back, saying that Liu Tinghuai had no intentions. Chun, you must keep an eye on Liu Tinghuai, and don't let him have the opportunity to seduce/coax Bai Yingluo in private.

Turning around, the second lady said bitterly, if Liu Tinghuai dared to have such thoughts, the goal he wanted to achieve in this trip to Beijing would be in vain. It is guaranteed that he will come with hope and leave with disappointment. go.

The second lady's calculating face made Bai Yingluo really worried about the only uncle who cared about her, so when Liu Tinghuai asked her in a low voice if she wanted to go to Jiangnan, Bai Yingluo shook her head resolutely.

At that moment, Liu Tinghuai's eyes were full of disappointment and loneliness. When Bai Yingluo saw it, her heart felt like being stabbed by a knife. However, thinking that it was for her uncle's benefit, Bai Yingluo was relieved.

But after that, Bai Yingluo regretted it countless times.

If I had gone to Jiangnan with my uncle early on, wouldn't the things that happened later not happen, and now I wouldn't have so many conflicts with Erfang, right?
But fortunately, God has eyes, and finally let her meet the second elder of the Bai family, met the elder sister, knew that the Bai family had the Bai Jue to inherit the incense, and met Du Xuan.

Bai Yingluo let out a long sigh, gain only when there is loss, all Bodhisattvas are fair.

At this moment, looking at the letter in her hand, Bai Yingluo couldn't stop being joyful.
