Glory all the way

Chapter 125
When Bai Xiu is by her side, she can always know the situation of the two elders of the Bai family. Bai Yingluo is very satisfied with the current situation.

Hearing that Bai Jue was working hard in Dongtian Academy and that she was among the best in the previous monthly exam, Bai Yingluo felt even more joyful in her heart.

The weather is getting colder and colder, but Bai Yingluo's heart is warm. Now, counting the days every day, she only hopes that her uncle Liu Tinghuai will return to the capital as soon as possible. Even though they only received vague news such as ten days, seven or eight days, as the days approached, Bai Yingluo still showed joy and joy.

The old lady Bai noticed, and felt a little more pity in her heart.

The girls entered the house together, and the youngest Miss Jiu, Bai Yinghui, was still held in the arms of the wet nurse.

Greeting Old Madam Bai and calling them up, the maids were busy making tea and preparing pastries. Old Madam Bai waved and asked Seventh Miss Bai Yinghuan, Eighth Miss Bai Yinglan and Ninth Miss Bai Yinghui to come over and sit with her.

Touching their cool little hands, the old lady Bai scratched Bai Yinghuan and Bai Yinglan's noses, "Why don't you hold the hand stove? You don't listen to the nurse..."

Looking at each other and smiling, the two stuck out their tongues, and flirted coquettishly with their grandmother's arms in their arms.

Bai Yingyun drank tea quietly, looked up at Bai Yingluo from time to time, trying to see something on her face, but apart from the joyful smile on Bai Yingluo's face when she looked at her grandmother and three younger sisters, she was always Demure and gentle, there is nothing unusual.

They sent someone to inquire, and they said that Bai Xiu and Du Xuan had nothing to do with each other, but they both came from Baijiazhuang, so they were considered fellow villagers, other than that, there was nothing unusual.

Hearing the magpie's reply, Bai Yingyun was full of suspicion, but now seeing Bai Yingluo's calm appearance, Bai Yingyun was a little uncertain.

After a while, it was snowing outside, Bai Yinghuan and Bai Yinglan happily jumped off the heated kang, ran to the porch eaves at the door and looked at it, dancing and clapping their hands while watching, crisp laughter flying in the snow, adding a few more Very warm.

After waving to the maids and wives to take care of her, the old lady Bai turned her head to look at the obedient Bai Yinghui who was sitting beside her and praised, "My sister Hui is still the most obedient..."

Bai Yinghui looked up at her grandmother with a kind face, and said with a sweet smile: "Sixth sister said that if you are sick, you have to take bitter medicine, and your grandmother and mother will feel sorry for you. Therefore, Hui'er must listen to your mother and nurse and not get sick."

Bai Yinghui was only five years old, and she was usually the most shy. When she left the Chenxi Pavilion, she always pursed her lips and smiled, and rarely said so much.

Immediately, Old Madam Bai's smile deepened, "Your Sixth Sister is right, Grandmother will feel sorry for Sister Hui when she is ill, so I can't be like your Seventh Sister and Eighth Sister..."

Both Bai Yinghuan and Bai Yinglan were concubines.

Half understanding, Bai Yinghui only knew that she had been praised by her grandmother, and she immediately smiled with crooked eyebrows, like a lucky baby in a New Year painting.

When Bai Yingyun heard this, she felt more and more that Bai Yingluo would do anything to please her grandmother and the Xue family. She glanced at Bai Yingluo and curled her lips in disdain.

The snow was getting bigger and bigger, and the road became slippery after a while, and it was not easy to walk on, plus the old lady Bai didn't like it at all, so Bai Yingyun sat for a while, and then left first with an excuse.

Bai Yinghuan and Bai Yinglan clamored to play in the snow, and they ran towards the yard holding hands. The nurse was shocked, and came in to salute the old lady Bai before leaving. After a while, only the old lady Bai, Bai Yingluo and Bai Yinghui were left in the room. people.

"Is Xiu Niang used to it?"

Taking a piece of fruit from the table and handing it to Bai Yingluo, the old lady Bai looked up at Bai Yingluo and asked.

"I handed her over to Liusu, and now she is in charge of cleaning the yard. Every day when I get up, she has finished the work in her hand and helped those people tidy up the small warehouse. Liusu praised her several times in front of me. This time..."

Smiling and nodding, Bai Yingluo got up, walked to the heated kang and sat down, picked up a pear, called Qiu Wen to get a knife, and began to peel it by herself.

The hand holding the pear rotated slowly, and a slender peel slipped out from under the knife. Bai Yinghui, who was nestled in the old lady's arms, looked at it seriously, and stretched out her hand involuntarily, grabbing the peel.

It seemed that the peel broke just as soon as it was touched, and Bai Yinghui said "ah", as if she had done something bad, she threw away the peel, turned her head and buried her in the old lady Bai's arms.

The little man's mischievous behavior made the old lady Bai laugh. At the side, Bai Yingluo took a small gold-painted porcelain plate, cut out a few pieces of pear meat, inserted a silver pick, and pushed it in front of the old lady, "Grandmother, Pears reduce phlegm and moisten the lungs, you should eat them often."

Nodding her head, the old lady Bai started to eat, and from time to time, she lowered her head to feed Bai Yinghui a few mouthfuls. The three of them, grandparents and grandchildren, enjoyed the rare tranquility and leisure in this busy afternoon of university.

In the evening, the snow was getting heavier and heavier. Worried that Bai Yinghui would catch the cold wind when she went out, the old lady Bai asked Qiu Wen to pass the message to Chenxi Pavilion, saying that Bai Yinghui would rest in the warm pavilion of Qing'an Hall tonight, and let the Fourth Madam Pick it up tomorrow morning.

The old master Bai and the old lady Bai loved their grandchildren very much, and it was common for them to keep their children to eat overnight, not to mention that they were worried that the children would catch cold and get sick. Bai Yinghui brought a few small dolls that she often played with with her.

After dinner, she talked with old lady Bai for a while, and played with Bai Yinghui for a while, before Bai Yingluo got up and went back to the room.

Voices were heard from the study room, thinking that Old Master Bai had finished speaking with his children and grandchildren, so Old Lady Bai called Qiu Wen, and took an umbrella to fetch Old Master Bai back.

After entering the door and taking a few sips of hot tea, the old master Bai said briskly: "Just now, Shi Zhong and I mentioned the matter of Sister Luo, and he has no objection. He said that the Jing'an Hou Mansion originally had four One-half is what Shi Ming deserves. If Shi Ming is not around, even if Sister Luo is only a girl, she is still the blood of Jing'an Hou Mansion, so she should give it to Sister Luo without discrimination. He also said that the second child and For the fourth one, let him go and talk about it, it seems like it’s not a big problem.”

Originally, he was worried about this, but now, he thought about it too much, and Old Master Bai's heart suddenly relaxed.

On the side, the old lady Bai also smiled kindly, "Among the four sons, the eldest is the most loyal, the third is the most imitative, and the two of them are also the most like you. Now, brothers and friends are respectful, that is the best. Otherwise, if it really gets to the face, no one will look good."

Nodding in response, Old Master Bai said with a smile: "Then let's wait, the second and fourth place, let Shi Zhong talk about it, if there is no objection, when the shopkeepers from various places came back to hand over the account years ago Let them think about it, so that they can draw up a charter. It would be great if it could be finalized years ago. When the ancestors are worshiped during the Chinese New Year, they can also have an explanation to the ancestors. What are the children and grandchildren of our Bai family? There is still some open-mindedness."

As if he had seen the harmony and humility of his brothers, the old lady Bai smiled comfortably. On the side, the old lady Bai gently patted Bai Yinghui, who was already sleepy due to eyelid fights, and nodded in agreement.

In the middle of the night, the snow stopped. When I got up early in the morning, I opened the curtain, and the outside was completely white, which made people's eyes hurt.

Mrs. Xue brought the second and fourth wives to greet Mrs. Bai, talked with them for a while, and then went down. The fourth lady waited for a long time before Bai Yinghui woke up. Wearing a golden necklace.

When I came yesterday, there was none.

He was stunned for a moment, seeing Bai Yinghui running towards him, the Fourth Madam took her hand, looked at Old Madam Bai and said, "Sister Hui, why don't you thank grandma for the reward?"

"Mother, I have already thanked my grandmother when I woke up this morning..."

Bai Yinghui said childishly.

"I found this when I was packing things a few days ago. Sister Hui is the youngest, so I gave it to her."

The old lady Bai said with a smile.

The gold collar was made of pure gold at first glance, as thick as a baby's finger, the fourth lady was very happy, and she talked sweetly for a long time, which made old lady Bai laugh a few times before leaving the Qing'an Hall with her daughter in her arms.

Back at Chenxi Pavilion, took off the gold collar and looked it up and down a few times. The fourth lady praised her daughter and kissed her, "Mother's precious daughter is the most obedient..."

After receiving the compliment, Bai Yinghui grinned happily, and immediately got up and snuggled into her mother's arms and asked, "Mother, who is Shiming? Grandfather and grandmother said that they would give to Sixth Sister what was given to him."

With a dazed expression, the Fourth Madam opened her mouth in astonishment, raised her head and kicked out all the maids and women in the room. The Fourth Madam held Bai Yinghui in her arms and asked softly, "Hui'er, grandfather and grandmother, What else did you say? You tell Mother, Mother’s Hui’er is the smartest, Mother has a look, Hui’er has memorized a few words?”

After a cup of tea, the fourth lady ran out of Chenxi Pavilion anxiously and went to Qiuranxuan.

In the evening, the second master came back with a look of surprise.

My heart was already in a mess, but the second lady deliberately pretended not to know anything, went up to her and asked about the second master's daytime errands with concern.

"Men's affairs, what are you so concerned about every day? You just take care of the family affairs. Why are there so many words?"

Feeling angry in his heart, the second master naturally vented his anger on the second lady.

"Family matters? The sky at home is about to collapse, I take care of it? Is it my turn to take care of it?"

All of a sudden, the hair was blown up, and the second lady yelled out in a bad mood.

His face turned pale, and the second master raised his eyes to look at the second wife and asked in a deep voice: "You know?"

Sure enough, the second master also knew, but he didn't know if he didn't have time to tell him, or he didn't intend to tell him at all. The second lady complained angrily: "How can I not know about such a big thing? If I I don’t know, maybe one day I will be betrayed by someone and I don’t even know it. How can I suffer so much? After suffering with you for so many years, I feed a white-eyed wolf, my poor Yun’er... "

In such a mess, the second lady just howled at the top of her voice.

With a "bang", the second master put the tea bowl in his hand on the table, "I haven't even flipped my horoscope yet, why are you howling?"

The second lady's dry howling stopped abruptly, and she asked with some expectation on her face, "So, the old man and the old lady haven't settled down yet, and they just asked for our opinion?"

The second master shook his head, "Father and mother, of course it's settled, but I hope we can settle the matter peacefully, so as not to make everyone unhappy."

The second lady rolled her eyes, "I want to give something from the Bai family to others, and I want to settle this matter peacefully, just dreaming."

"But we can't take advantage of it. The share that was given out should belong to the third brother. The third brother only has sister Luo as a child. Naturally, this thing is for her. We just don't want it. There's no legitimate reason, is there?"

The second master muttered dejectedly.

"People say that being kind is not as good as raising one. The third younger brother gave birth to Sister Luo, but the old man and the old lady didn't think about it. In the past ten years, who has worked so hard to raise Sister Luo. Now, She patted her butt and married with a generous dowry, and our second wife made a wedding dress for nothing?"

Said in a hateful voice, the second lady gave the second master a sideways look, "This matter, you are vague, and when the old man and the old lady bring it up, everything is up to me. If you cry, make trouble and hang yourself, I will take care of you." Believe it or not, I can't take a layer of skin from her..."

The second lady had a hostile look on her face that she was determined to win.
