Glory all the way

Chapter 127 Inquiry
With the breeze rustling in her ears and the fragrance of plum blossoms on the tip of her nose, Bai Yingluo looked at the three people chasing and frolicking in front of her, and then turned her head to look at her aunt Wang who had been looking at her softly. .

After nearly ten years, I have changed, and they have all changed, right?
Lost in thought, Bai Yingluo sighed in disappointment.

Countless times, I have thought about what my uncle and aunt will look like when they come back. When the uncle sees him, he will definitely look relieved that there is a new girl in the Liu family, while the aunt will hold herself in her arms and cry sadly. Cousins ​​are unfamiliar at first, and then they will be very friendly.

But now, except for his uncle, everyone else looked at him as if they were looking at a stranger.

"Luo'er, your aunt's cousin, have you seen it?"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mrs. Wang spoke again, and Bai Yingluo was a little confused by what she said.

"Cousin? Which cousin of the Xue family is Auntie asking?"

After a long while before she could react, Bai Yingluo asked.

Dazed, Mrs. Wang smiled, and took Bai Yingluo's hand affectionately, "Your uncle returns to Beijing this time, and from now on, the Liu Mansion will be your natal home. If you feel happy or sad Remember to look for your aunt, or your two cousins ​​said, you know, we are all standing behind you."

After entering the mansion at noon, first went to Mingya Garden to meet Mrs. Xue, after chatting for a while, Mrs. Xue led Liu Tinghuai and Mrs. Wang to Qing'an Hall to meet Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai.

Wang Shi and Xue Shi had known each other since they were in their boudoirs, but the relationship was not that close, but now, because of Bai Yingluo's relationship, the two of them can even exchange a few words.

Seeing that Bai Yingluo remained silent, Wang raised her eyes and saw a pair of clear eyes, as if she had already understood everything, as if she was only watching how she performed, for no reason, Wang's expression became a little embarrassing of.

"Auntie is talking about the Xue family cousin who is studying in Qingsong Academy?"

Bai Yingluo broke free from Wang's hand without showing any signs and asked.

"I just asked casually..."

Wang said with a concealed smile: "At your aunt's place earlier, she mentioned a few words, because I didn't see anyone else, so I asked you if you have seen Xie Yuan, who is thirteen or fourteen years old. What a talented young man."

Although she didn't know why Wang Shi brought up Xue Zhe, but she couldn't find out from herself, she would definitely ask from other places, instead it seemed that something was wrong with her, Bai Yingluo smiled, "Yes, cousin Xue's family is handsome. , the article is also very good, and my grandfather and uncle are full of praise every time they mention it. Some days ago, cousin Xue's family went to and from the academy and the Hou's mansion every day, but recently the homework is tight, and the year of the academy is approaching. So I stayed in the academy's dormitory. Next time my aunt comes, maybe I can see him."

While Bai Yingluo was speaking, Wang Shi looked at her intently.

Nodding in response, Mrs. Wang raised her eyes and glanced at the three children who had gone far away, and said in a low voice, "Luo'er, don't blame my aunt for being abrupt, it is true that we are all worried about this all the way here. You, you Is your marriage settled?"

As soon as Wang's words came out, Bai Yingluo was startled.

Bai Yingluo remembered clearly that Liu Tinghuai sent a letter last year, and specifically asked about her own marriage. However, the servants of Liu's mansion personally delivered that letter to Old Master Bai and Old Lady Bai. Although Bai Yingluo didn't know , but after all, I heard a little from what old lady Bai said.

What Liu Tinghuai meant was that the younger sister, Liu Shi, only had one daughter, so I asked Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai to confirm the candidate, and they must inform him.

Although this kind of behavior was a bit abrupt, knowing that Liu Tinghuai cared about Bai Yingluo, the two elders were relieved, and because there was no suitable candidate, they never mentioned this matter again.

But Wang's words made Bai Yingluo suddenly doubt their relationship as husband and wife.

For Bai Yingluo, marriage is naturally a very important matter, but for Liu Tinghuai and Wang Shi, it may be just a sentence in daily chat. Liu Tinghuai has plans for Bai Yingluo's marriage, but Wang Shi knows all about it. Now, There was nowhere to ask, but the question came in front of Bai Yingluo?

Seeing Bai Yingluo's shy face, Mrs. Wang patted Bai Yingluo's shoulder reassuringly, "Good boy, Auntie knows it's inappropriate to ask such questions, but this is the most important thing in my daughter's life. No matter what, uncle and aunt want to Know what you mean first, so that uncle and aunt can make decisions for you."

Wang's behavior filled Bai Yingluo with suspicion.

This was the first time the two met, but Wang was extremely enthusiastic about Bai Yingluo's marriage. Could it be that there was something he didn't know about it?
Bai Yingluo lowered her head and said in a voice like a mosquito: "The marriage of Yingluo is decided by grandparents, Yingluo didn't ask too much."

Although the answer was expected, Wang's face was still somewhat disappointed.

After being silent for a long while, Mrs. Wang turned to ask about some interesting things in the capital, and said that after a few days when the mansion was tidied up, she would invite Bai Yingluo to play.

Back at Lanxin Pavilion, everyone sat quietly and drank a few sips of tea, then Liu Tinghuai came, gave Bai Yingluo a few gentle words, and took Mrs. Wang and the three children to Qing'an Hall to kowtow to Old Master Bai and Old Lady Bai. Head back to Liu Mansion.

When I went to Qing'an Hall in the evening, I saw old lady Bai with a kind smile on her face, "Your uncle and aunt came back, and there are two more cousins ​​who are like angels. From now on, our sister Luo will also have relatives who can walk around."

Even Bai Yinghui often went out with her mother, while Bai Yingluo rarely went out except for those days when she accompanied her in school. Every time the old lady Bai thought about it, she would feel pity for Bai Yingluo again.

Bai Yingluo smiled and nodded.

Qiu Wen and the others were busy preparing dinner. Seeing that there was no one around, the old lady Bai hugged Bai Yingluo and laughed in a low voice: "Your uncle followed your grandfather to the study. Guess what the first sentence is?"

How could Bai Yingluo not guess the old lady Bai's jokes?

Immediately, Bai Yingluo blushed, and the old lady Bai said with a smile: "My sister Luo is also a big girl, it's time for a good marriage."

"grandmother……"

Bai Yingluo called out softly, but she became more and more puzzled in her heart.

On the first day Liu Tinghuai and Wang Shi arrived in the capital, they both asked about their marriage at the same time?

Even though Bai Yingluo is the daughter of the Liu family, she is still the young lady of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion. Her marriage is decided by Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai. One day, he couldn't wait to ask the question, as if he was afraid that the Marquis of Jing'an would find Bai Yingluo an unsuitable husband-in-law.

"Uncle is also concerned about Yingluo, after all we haven't seen each other for so many years."

Bai Yingluo said softly.

Caressing Bai Yingluo's back, the old lady Bai nodded, "Your grandfather said that it is a pity that your uncle returned to the capital this time. However, he is a down-to-earth person and willing to work, so maybe he will follow a different path."

"The sky is high for birds to fly, and the sea is wide for fish to leap. I also hope that my uncle can practice outside for a few more years, just like my grandfather said."

Thinking of Old Master Bai's evaluation of Liu Tinghuai, Bai Yingluo echoed.

Pursing her lips and smiling, as if remembering something else, the old lady Bai said mysteriously: "Your uncle said that your mother left something for you that day, and he will bring it to you in a few days."

Pausing in her heart, Bai Yingluo turned her head to look at the old lady Bai and asked, "Did uncle tell grandma?"

"I told your grandfather. Your uncle asked if there was any trustworthy steward around you. That's why your grandfather asked."

Then, the old lady Bai said jokingly: "Your uncle and your mother are very close, no matter what is given to you, your uncle will definitely add an extra, and our sister Luo will also become Little rich woman."

Bai Yingluo lowered her head shyly, but in her heart, she basically understood.

It is not known whether Liu Tinghuai left the item that Liu Tinghuai said that day, or whether he prepared it for Bai Yingluo over the years.

But now, Bai Yingluo was at the age of Linji and Ji to get married, so these things should naturally be given to Bai Yingluo in advance to let her get familiar with it, so Liu Tinghuai was anxious to care about Bai Yingluo's marriage.

As for Mrs. Wang, Xu also knew it, but only God knew how sincere her concern was.

Although she didn't know what it was, Bai Yingluo's heart was still warm.

Sure enough, within a few days, Liu Tinghuai came again, this time alone, with a bookcase in his hand.

Old Mrs. Bai left the mansion, and there was only Mrs. Bai in Qing'an Hall. After talking for a while, Bai Yingluo followed Qiuwen after the class at Rui Shuge was over.

After seeing the ceremony and waiting for Bai Yingluo to get up, Liu Tinghuai handed the box on the table to Bai Yingluo, "Luo'er, here are the land deeds and bank notes. Those shops were signed to you when your grandfather passed away. Mother's, at that time your mother was still in my place to take care of it for her before she was old enough, and those banknotes are the income from these years, they have been stored in the Yinzhuang, and I want to give you as a dowry when you get married."

After all, Liu Tinghuai said sadly: "When your mother got married, she originally wanted to give it to her, but she said that after getting married, she would probably go to work with your father, and she didn't have the time to take care of it. Leave it to her. It turned out that it was only a year, and then...after giving birth to you, your mother wrote to me, saying that I would take care of it, and when you grow up, I will hand it over to you. "

Seemingly thinking of the Liu family, Liu Tinghuai's face showed nostalgia.

Looking up and seeing that Bai Yingluo didn't speak, she took the box silently, Liu Tinghuai said in a low voice, "Although it's not much, it's what your mother left you."

"Luo'er thanked uncle..."

After bowing down and bowing to Liu Tinghuai, Bai Yingluo's words were full of sobs.

Liu Tinghuai nodded, seeing Bai Yingluo standing in front of her, looking at the box in her arms with tears in her eyes, and let out a sigh of relief.
