Glory all the way

Chapter 123

When the second heavy snow fell, Li Dazhuang and Bai Xiu signed a contract of sale and moved into the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

In the main room of Mingya Garden, Mrs. Xue carefully sized up Bai Xiu and Li Dazhuang standing in front of her, with some scrutiny in her eyes.

Mrs. Xue still remembers that day, Bai Yingluo followed Qiu Wen to come and talk back. Although her words were understated, Mrs. Xue, who is good at knowing people, couldn't see what kind of eagerness was hidden under Bai Yingluo's indifferent face. heart of.

If she shirks a few words, she will act coquettishly, cry and beg, right?

Mrs. Xue smiled, she is a child after all, no matter what the reason is, let her go, after all, it will only be a year or two before she can do whatever she wants. Pay attention to the eyes of so many people, how can you be as comfortable as you are in your mother's house?

"Since it is Miss Six's kindness to you, then you should always remember in your hearts that your errands will be arranged by the steward who will take you to arrange them. From today onwards, you will be servants of the Jing'an Hou Mansion. What do you do? You must abide by the rules, and don't bring in all the lazy habits you used to have when you were in the country."

Said in a deep voice, Xue's eyes swept over Bai Xiu's face again, looked directly at her and said: "You have never done anything to serve others, from now on, let's start with the rough envoy of Lanxin Pavilion, if If you do well, Miss Six will naturally promote you, and if you don’t do well, you’ll be sent to the backyard to do laundry and cut firewood, so as not to ruin Miss Six’s support and love for you.”

In this way, every time when she taught her servants, Xue would say, Bai Xiu listened, although she felt a little hurt to her self-esteem, but after thinking about it, she had already sold herself into Jing'anhou's mansion, and her master would give her face in the future , if you can't even listen to such words, it will be even more difficult to stay in the future.

Looking at her husband and son-in-law comfortingly from the side, Bai Xiu pursed her lips, knelt down on the ground and said: "Madam's instruction, this servant has memorized it."

With a slightly relaxed face, Xue looked up at Gu Xiang and said, "Take them out."

"Yes."

Responding softly, Gu Xiang took a few steps forward and said gently: "Come with me, I'll take you to Miss Six. As for you, wait in the yard. Manager Wang will come later, and you can go with him." yes."

Promising in a low voice, Bai Xiu and Li Dazhuang turned around and followed Gu Xiang out of the yard.

"I'm going, be careful yourself, don't be reckless in everything."

When going down the steps, Bai Xiu quickly explained a few words to Li Dazhuang, seeing that he nodded affirmatively, Fang speeded up a few steps and followed Gu Xiang.

"Miss Six, the servants brought her here. The madam wants to teach her in the courtyard for a while. If there is no problem, she will be allowed to enter the house."

In the main room of Lanxin Pavilion, Gu Xiang said gently.

"Sister Lao Guxiang is here..."

Bai Yingluo stood up, took a purse from Liu Ying, stepped forward to take Gu Xiang's hand, and put it in her palm.

With a frank face, Gu Xiangfu saluted and thanked him, then turned and left the main room.

"Xiu Niang, come in..."

Passing by Bai Xiu, Liuying's call came from behind her, Gu Xiang couldn't help but glanced back, just in time to see Bai Xiu's nervous side face.

Slightly taken aback, Gu Xiang sighed softly in her heart: This Baixiu, just looking at the profile, really looks a bit like Miss Six, no wonder Miss Six fell in love with her, maybe it was a blessing from her previous life.

Squeezing the purse in her hand, Gu Xiang quickened her pace and stepped out of Chenghuan Residence, she couldn't help but looked up at the hanging plaque.

Cheng Huan...

The third master and the third wife were not able to accept Huan's knees. Now, the old master and the old lady will definitely double their love for the third master to the sixth lady. If I do this, it can be regarded as a good relationship.

Gu Xiang muttered silently in her heart.

"Miss Six's great kindness, I will never forget it."

Looking up at Bai Yingluo, Bai Xiu hurriedly fell to her knees on the ground, and the tears she had been holding back since entering Jing'an Hou's mansion slipped down unexpectedly.

After a few days of hard work, Bai Yingluo didn't do nothing.

The land originally cultivated by Li Dazhuang's family belonged to the Sun Mansion. Since he didn't want to be angry with the Sun Mansion, there was no reason to return those acres of land.

But the small courtyard of the Bai family is unavoidable.

After making it clear that she wanted Bai Xiu, Bai Yingluo went to find Bai Jinyuan, just like what she said in front of the old lady Bai, Bai Jinyuan believed in this sister's words.

Although she jokingly said that her heart is too kind, there are so many poor people in this world, how can they be saved, but Bai Jinyuan still readily agreed.

After this incident, Bai Yingluo felt that making some small items for Bai Jinyuan, talking with Jia Shi often, and making small clothes and socks for Brother Kun all seemed trivial things, but in fact, they might not be unhelpful.

Bai Jinyuan was quick to do things, and the next day, he handed over the land deed of the small courtyard of the Bai family to Bai Yingluo, along with the 500 taels of silver notes for compensation from the Sun House.

Come to think of it, the Sun family also knew that they had offended someone who shouldn't be offended, and this bank note was for avoiding disasters.

500 taels is not a small amount, but Bai Jinyuan didn't pay attention to it. Although he knew that it was from the Sun Fu's filial piety to him, or from someone who went to work, he still put it together with the land deed and gave it to Bai Jinyuan. Wreaths.

After several refusals, Bai Jinyuan deliberately sullen, "And my brother, are you still so polite?"

Bai Jinyuan said so, but Bai Yingluo couldn't give in anymore, thanked her generously, and said playfully: "Brother's study room has a pair of calligraphy and paintings of lay people on the Lunar New Year Festival. My sister thinks it's very good. I found it from my father's bookcase a few days ago. One, it seems to be a painting made by Liuxi Layman before he became famous, and my sister can't see any good ones, if the elder brother doesn't dislike it, I will give it to you, if it is good, the elder brother will keep it, okay?"

Laymen on the Sixth Festival are proud and arrogant, and most of the calligraphy and paintings that can be found on the market are fakes.And his calligraphy and paintings after he became famous, although they are priceless, but they are a little more impetuous. On the contrary, those before becoming famous, not for fame and wealth, but indifferent to heart, are really good ones.

Hearing this, Bai Jinyuan's eyes lit up.

Bai Xiu got the title deed of the small courtyard, and also got 500 taels of silver notes for nothing, she was stunned like a stone statue, but what Bai Yingluo said after that surprised her even more.

Bai Yingluo said, a small courtyard, 500 taels of silver, if she returns to the countryside to be a small landlord, or if the two of them do some small business, they don't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, so if she doesn't If you want, you don't have to go to the Jing'an Hou Mansion to sell yourself as a slave.

Being poor all their lives is undoubtedly a huge temptation for Bai Xiu and Li Dazhuang.

The husband and wife contemplated head-to-head for two days and two nights, but they still made up their minds to enter the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

They have no power or power, they obtained these things for nothing, and they have no ability. If the Sun Mansion takes the opportunity to clean up themselves, how can they have the ability to protect themselves?Would it be impossible to look for Bai Yingluo again at that time?

Don't let this windfall turn into a disaster instead.

Bai Yingluo's ability to do this shows that she is a good master, and following her, even if the two of them have some experience, they will be able to keep this wealth in the future, which is considered a skill.

Thinking this way, Bai Xiu and Li Dazhuang settled down in the small house and deposited the banknotes in Yinzhuang. The next morning, the two of them entered the gate of Jing'an Hou Mansion with their bags.

All the worries of the future have been resolved. At this moment, Bai Xiu looks at Bai Yingluo with a grateful face.

Perhaps, from the day she met Bai Yingluo in Xiaoshan Temple, her fate has changed. Bai Yingluo is the noble person she was destined for.

Thinking silently in her heart, Bai Xiu became more sincere when she kowtowed, which made Bai Yingluo's heart ache.

"Get up quickly..."

Asking Liu Ying to help her up, Bai Yingluo said solemnly: "Now, you are just a maidservant in my yard. If I am not here, you can't even enter the door. And what is the purpose of asking you to come?" , you also know it in your heart, so if you really want to repay me, you should do things well and strive to be brought up to the house to serve you as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you don’t have the ability, I will just assign you to the house to do fine work , sooner or later you will bring yourself into trouble."

The bigger the family, the stricter the rules. If you do something wrong, you will be fined or killed. Although Bai Xiu has not seen it with her own eyes, she has heard a lot of things. Immediately, she straightened her face and nodded solemnly. .

After Bai Yingluo gave a few more instructions, Bai Xiu carefully memorized them in her heart, and then followed Tassel to go out to the wing she lived in.

"Where's Li Dazhuang?"

When Bai Xiu went out, Bai Yingluo looked back at Liu Ying and asked.

"Steward Wang took him to the stables and told him to chop fodder for a few days to see how he is. If he is practical and capable, he will be assigned to work in the backyard."

Liuying replied.

Bai Yingluo nodded to indicate that she understood, and she let out a sigh of relief.

After sitting for a while, Bai Yingluo changed her clothes and went to Qing'an Hall, snuggled up to old lady Bai's side for a while, which made old lady Bai very happy.

In the Yunshui Pavilion, listening to the magpies reporting the inquiring news, Bai Yingyun murmured suspiciously: "If you are so aggressive, why do you bring in a married village girl from outside the mansion to be a maid?"

Puzzled, Bai Yingyun raised her eyes and glared at Magpie, "I asked you to inquire about the news, but you just asked me so many questions without end? What is the origin of the village girl? When did the sixth sister meet her? Did any unknown things happen in it, and you didn't inquire more about it?"

Magpie shook his head in a bit of embarrassment, "Miss, don't talk about slaves, even the old lady and the eldest lady, I'm afraid they don't even know about it."

With an angry sideways glance at the magpie, Bai Yingyun raised her hand and tapped on the table lightly, lost in thought.

"Bai Xiu, it's the sixth younger sister who must have met Kaichun when she went to Zhuangzili in the suburbs of Beijing with her grandparents... Zhuangzili..."

Muttering, Bai Yingyun analyzed according to her own thinking, "That poor scholar is also from Baijiazhuang, there must be something we don't know about it."

Now, Du Xuan is studying in Qingsong Academy, and he often goes in and out of Jing'an Marquis Mansion on weekdays, and Bai Xiu is also tied to Bai Yingluo by his side, what does this mean?
"Go and find out if there is any relationship between that village girl and that poor scholar."

With a guess in her heart, Bai Yingyun raised her eyes and looked at the magpie and ordered.
