Glory all the way

Chapter 135
In the previous life, Du Xuan was a person who was gentle and refined at all times, while Luo Niang at that time was the most naughty.

After the two got acquainted, Luo Niang had teased Du Xuan several times with sharp teeth, and Du Xuan always looked indifferent, as if he didn't take it seriously at all. After a few times, Luo Niang became a little embarrassing. Du Xuan also treated each other with courtesy.

It wasn't until later that the two got married that Luo Niang knew that when she was being teased by herself, Du Xuan was already extremely embarrassed in his heart, and the indifference on his face was all pretended by himself.

Later, Luo Niang discovered that Du Xuan would always do some small things clumsily to make her happy, and when she found out, there would be a blush behind her ears, although it was not obvious, but if she paid attention, it was not difficult to find.

Du Xuan's shyness only appeared when facing Luo Niang. In front of others, Du Xuan would always be the gentle, modest and polite Mr. Du.

In this life, although she has become Bai Yingluo, the young lady of the Jingan Hou Mansion, Du Xuan doesn't seem to have changed much, especially after seeing the blush behind his ear, Bai Yingluo becomes more and more sure that Du Xuan is still the same. Same as previous life.

The same modesty, the same gentleness, and the same, secretly shy.

"cough……"

A light cough sounded next to her ear, Bai Yingluo raised her head, and saw Bai Yingyun looking at herself thoughtfully, "Sixth sister, what's the matter? Mr. Du didn't get the first name, my sister feels uncomfortable?"

Pretending to be innocent, Bai Yingluo looked back at the group of people who were commenting on the poems, and said with a smile, "Fifth sister speaks like this, but it is very easy for my younger sister to misunderstand."

"Misunderstanding? What did you misunderstand?"

Unable to understand Bai Yingluo's words, Bai Yingyun asked angrily.

"Brother invited so many people today, even Beiningbo Mansion and Zhongshan Bo Mansion have posted posts. It's just that the two eldest sons have something to do with their families and it's inconvenient to come. Only Cousin Su didn't get a post and couldn't come. Join in the fun, let me see, I'm afraid Fifth Sister is not feeling well?"

Originally, she didn't expect to go to Su Wenyuan, but after being reminded by Bai Yingluo, Bai Yingyun lowered her head and thought for a while, only to realize that Su Wenyuan hadn't come, and she had never heard her mother and elder brother talk about the poetry meeting. It can be seen that it was exactly as Bai Yingluo said , Su Wenyuan did not receive the invitation post.

Thinking about it, there was a trace of unhappiness in her eyes. Bai Yingyun raised her eyes to look at Bai Jinyuan, but saw that he was talking happily with Xue Zhe and Du Xuan. She held the hand stove in her hand, but she grabbed it fiercely, wishing she could crush it.

In the middle of the afternoon, they wrote poems, wrote lyrics, and told the past and present. A group of people had a great time, until the poetry meeting ended and everyone left Xu Hexuan's house, they were still discussing in groups. A funny thing just now.

Bai Yingluo took a step behind, went to the inner room to see Jia Shi, and played with Brother Kun for a while, the aunt and nephew were chatting happily, the maid next to Jia Shi came in and whispered something to her.

The smile on her face gradually faded, Jia Shi waved her hand, motioning for her to back off, and walked to Bai Yingluo's side and asked, "Yingluo, are you and that Mr. Du okay?"

Surprised, Bai Yingluo stopped waving her little hand while holding Brother Kun, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"

Covering her small thoughts with embarrassment, Bai Yingluo lowered her head, Jia Shi sighed lightly, and told Bai Yingluo about the servant girl's back and forth just now.

"The maid in my courtyard saw Fifth Younger Sister talking to Young Master Du. I don't know what she said, but look, Fifth Younger Sister is very proud and seems to have mentioned your name. Yingluo, Fifth Younger Sister has always been at odds with you. Deal with it, and now everything is against you, you should be more careful in your actions, don't be caught by her. She is now a person who has promised others, you are different from her..."

The implication is, don't lose your life because of your petty quarrel with Bai Yingyun.

"My sister-in-law still loves me, I know, don't worry."

Nodding her head in response, Bai Yingluo put the matter behind her and started playing with Brother Kun instead. Seeing the smiles on the faces of one big and one small, Jia sighed inaudibly.

On the other side, Bai Yingyun returned to the Yunshui Pavilion with an even more smug expression.

Just now, taking advantage of Bai Yingluo's opportunity, he ridiculed the poor scholar. Although he tried his best to conceal it, Bai Yingyun could still see that his heart was full of anger.

However, thinking about talking about him a few times, Bai Yingluo's face would change a little, and Bai Yingyun's heart felt a little impatiently excited: If the two of them had any problems, how could Bai Yingluo pretend to be so cute in front of her grandparents? Come in a pleasant appearance.

Thinking to herself, Bai Yingyun quickly calculated in her heart.

After leaving Xu Hexuan, Bai Yingluo and Liusu walked towards Qing'an Hall while talking. As soon as they entered the courtyard gate, they saw Du Xuan walking out of the main room and coming towards them.

Thinking of what Jia Shi said, seeing Du Xuan cast a evasive look at herself, lowered her head and quickened her pace, Bai Yingluo made a very bold move.

Taking a step across, Bai Yingluo blocked Du Xuan's way.

For a moment, not only Du Xuan, but even Tassel, who had been following Bai Yingluo, couldn't help but change their expressions.

"Miss Six..."

Cupping his hands and bowing to Bai Yingluo, Du Xuan hesitated and stopped, looking at Bai Yingluo with a questioning face.

"Being a person and doing things should be upright. What you yearn for today may not be available tomorrow. Therefore, no matter what others think, as long as you work hard towards the direction you want in your heart, it may not come true. Mr. Du, What do you say?"

After talking nonchalantly, Bai Yingluo looked directly into Du Xuan's eyes, didn't wait for him to answer, she walked away and walked forward, after walking a few steps, Bai Yingluo turned her head suddenly, and saw Du Xuan was turning back Looking at themselves, the two looked at each other, Du Xuan turned his head excitedly, but the blush behind his ears, under the cover of his jade-like cheeks and the pine and cypress blue clothes, became more and more abrupt and eye-catching.

It proved that Du Xuan also had a good impression of her, Bai Yingluo was extremely happy in her heart, until she entered the main room and sat next to the old lady Bai, Bai Yingluo still had unconcealable joy on her face.

"A poetry meeting, so happy to play?"

Seeing her granddaughter smiling happily, the old lady Bai also became happy.

Bai Yingluo pursed her lips and smiled, "They compose poems, and I still have to work hard to make tea for them. It's not fun at all, but grandma, Brother Kun is getting more and more fun, with that little arm in my hand It's soft, but strong, and when you smile, your eyes are like crescent moons, so cute..."

Speaking of Brother Kun, the old lady Bai couldn't help turning her attention.

The next day was the day when Bai Yingluo summoned the shopkeepers.

Early in the morning, Bai Yingluo washed up and went to the main room of Qing'an Hall. The old lady Bai was also very dignified, wearing a dark red thick coat with blessing patterns, and sitting on the soft couch with a serious complexion.

Seeing Bai Yingluo come in, the old lady Bai pulled her to sit beside her, and said in a deep voice: "In a moment, when I'm talking, don't make a sound, listen quietly, and try to remember which shops each of them runs. If you have any questions, you can ask them when I let you speak, huh?"

Nodding her head in response, Bai Yingluo got up and sat down in the armchair next to the soft couch. Immediately afterwards, a servant girl's voice came from outside the door, and a group of people filed into the room.

"The little ones have met the old lady and Miss Six. May the old lady be as lucky as the East China Sea and live longer than Nanshan, and may the sixth lady be as successful as Hua."

There were eight people in a group, the older ones were in their 60s with gray hair, and the youngest was a middle-aged man in his 40s. Bai Yingluo looked around calmly, and her gaze fell on the leader. On the old man with white beard.

"This is shopkeeper Hu. There are six big shopkeepers in the grandmother's dowry shop. Shopkeeper Hu is the oldest one. All the properties under your name will be managed by shopkeeper Hu. In the future, there will be big and small things. Why don't you understand? Yes, you should ask shopkeeper Hu Da, he will definitely explain it to you."

After glancing at the old man with the white beard, the old lady Bai turned to introduce Bai Yingluo.

Shopkeeper Hu Da kowtowed to the ground again, kowtowed to Bai Yingluo and said, "Young lady has met Miss Six. From now on, Miss will be my master. If you have anything to do, you can send me anytime."

"Shopkeeper Hu, get up quickly, you are considered an old man in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, Yingluo can't stand it."

Standing up to avoid the salute from shopkeeper Hu Da, Bai Yingluo said softly.

After everyone got up and sat down, the old lady Bai asked about the situation in the shop. Several shopkeepers got up together and explained the shops they were running, or the situation in the village in detail.

After finishing speaking, it was almost noon, the old lady Bai turned her head to look at Bai Yingluo, and saw that although her face was calm, but there were some waves of thought in her eyes, she asked with a smile: "Sister Luo, what do you not understand?" The place?"

Looking up at the shopkeepers, seeing that although their faces were respectful, there was a bit of disapproving contempt in their eyes, Bai Yingluo couldn't help straightening her face.

Turning around again, the grandmother smiled at herself with an encouraging face, and Bai Yingluo put on a pose of asking for advice, looked at Shopkeeper Hu and asked, "Shopkeeper Hu, Yingluo has something that I don't understand, please ask Shopkeeper Hu to clarify."

Being called the shopkeeper by Bai Yingluo, the shopkeeper Hu Da felt a little uncomfortable, but after all, he was over 60 years old, no matter how unhappy he was, he didn't show it on his face.

Shopkeeper Hu got up and bowed to Bai Yingluo, "I don't dare, just ask the lady to ask, I don't think I can teach you."

After pondering for a while, Bai Yingluo asked, "According to what my grandmother just introduced, Shopkeeper Hu is very familiar with the operating conditions of the various stores and the managers involved, so I have two doubts: First, what is the situation in the east of the city?" I have a thousand mu of paddy fields, and the annual harvest is 2000 shi. Excluding all expenses, the income is 500 taels of silver. In the past few years, the weather has been smooth, and there has not been any major famine. How come this year’s income has become one [-] taels of silver?"

Ignoring the cold sweat of the shopkeeper sitting at the end, Bai Yingluo continued to ask: "Nowadays, not to mention the other places, I own fifteen shops in the capital. There are five shops in each of the third class, but why, the income of the three upper-class shops is not as good as the three shops with the best income in the middle class? Shopkeeper Hu, can you tell me in detail?"

Seeing that shopkeeper Hu's face had changed, Bai Yingluo sneered, lowered her head, and for a moment, she returned to the ignorant and delicate girl she was just now.

The old lady Bai turned cold, and then looked at the old shopkeepers in the room who she was sure would be loyal, and a hint of deep thought suddenly appeared in her eyes.
