Glory all the way

Chapter 144 Bullying
Stepping forward and walking to her son, Mrs. Bei Ningbo said in a deep voice, "Yu'er, you are so naive, do you think that just relying on your ability can support the prosperity and replacement of a family? If so, Dou Why did the government want to marry their daughter into the East Palace to be the crown princess? Why did the Anyuanhou government go to great lengths to hire a lady from the empress's mother's family?"

Regardless of her son's livid face, Mrs. Bei Ningbo continued: "Yu'er, in this world, you can rely on your ability to speak for nothing, and the family marriage you dismiss is the most effective and stable way. My grandparents have proven it countless times.”

Seeing that her son's face was getting darker, Mrs. Beining couldn't bear it, she couldn't help slowing down her voice and advised: "Yu'er, you like that girl, and mother likes her too. It is good for you to marry the world concubine and hire her to be your side concubine, but mother went to find out, the old lady Bai loves her like a baby, and she will never agree, Yu'er, you , just die this heart, huh? Mother will definitely give you a look..."

Mrs. Bei Ningbo was interrupted by a shocked Lin Zhiyu before Madam Bei Ning said, "Mother, what are you talking about? You want her to be my side concubine?"

The hands that were hanging powerlessly by his side suddenly clenched into fists, the knuckles of the fingers were faintly white because of anger, Lin Zhiyu said in a hateful voice: "Mother, what you have done, I am now I have to give up, what face do I have to see her in the future? Mother, please, please stop humiliating her. "

After all, Lin Zhiyu went out without looking back.

The door panel was swung open vigorously, shaking back and forth, making a creaking sound, Mrs. Beining looked at the back of her son going away, but felt a chill in her heart.

As if she lost her strength in an instant, Mrs. Bei Ningbo seemed to have lost consciousness, and she returned to the inner room dully. As soon as she entered the room, Mrs. Bei Ningbo waved away the maids serving in the room, and immediately, tears It just rolled and slid down like a broken bead.

"Madam, what's the matter with you? Madam..."

Calling softly, Su Lan, who had been by her side all the time, hurriedly took out her veil, intending to wipe away tears for Mrs. Bei Ningbo.

He stretched out his hand in the air, but Mrs. Bei Ningbo stopped her with her hand.

"Su Lan, I, my heart hurts so much... He said that I humiliated the lady from the Jing'an Hou Mansion, he..."

Unable to cry more and more, Mrs. Bei Ningbo's face was full of grief.

Su Lan froze for a moment, but didn't know how to persuade Mrs. Beining stubbornly. She just stubbornly wiped her tears while thinking about her words, "Ma'am, beauty is in the eyes of lovers. Now, in the eyes of the eldest son, That young lady must be like a fairy, but you are thinking of hiring her to be a child of the prince. After all, the prince is a man with self-respect, how can he tolerate such a thing? The prince was impulsive, and he said this It's a bit heavier, and when you wake up, you must be annoyed again. Just look at it. In a few days, the Shizi will come to apologize to you. This mother and son, there is no overnight hatred. You are about to be angry .”

Crying and choking, Mrs. Bei Ningbo remembered what Lin Zhiyu had just said in the practice room, and felt like a needle pricking her heart, throbbing and throbbing with pain.

Su Lan persuaded for a while, and Mrs. Beiningbo's mood eased a little.

Outside the house, the maids in the yard greeted Uncle Beining. Mrs. Beining wiped the tears on her face in a hurry, went to the bronze mirror and looked at it, turned around and told Su Lan: "Uncle asked , just say that I am not feeling well, don't mention the son's affairs, so as not to make him angry again."

"The servant knows."

Responding in a low voice, Su Lan followed Mrs. Beiningbo and greeted her.

In March, the spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and there is a sense of warmth everywhere, and even the early morning breeze seems to be a little softer. Standing on the edge of the ground, Bai Yingluo looks at the fiery red sky in the distance, and can't help but sigh. He said: "The peach blossoms outside the city must be blooming very well. I don't know if I have a chance to take a look..."

"Miss, why do you like peach blossoms so much?"

Asking curiously, Liuying stood on tiptoe, broke off a winter jasmine branch, put it in front of her nose and sniffed it.

Peach blossoms have a short flowering period, and most of the flowers that bloom are all kinds of pink, so even if the ladies like it in their hearts, they will not announce it.

From a human perspective, the peony is majestic, the chrysanthemum is proud, and the plum blossom and lotus are noble and pure. These flowers have become the flowers that everyone loves, and the peach blossom has become a representative of seductiveness innocently.

But Bai Yingluo never shy away from these things.

Bai Yingluo always remembered that in her previous life, she and Du Xuan would often walk in the peach forest hand in hand, and the falling petals sprinkled on the two of them, for no reason, they were tainted with a layer of dark fragrance. They looked at each other, The eyes of the two seemed to be set off by the pink peach blossoms, adding a bit of deep affection.

And at this moment, the sachet on the skirt still contained the "Peach's Yaoyao, its blazing flowers" written by him, and Bai Yingluo's heart seemed to be like this warm spring day, a little more refreshing and refreshing. .

"Peach Blossom..."

Naturally, the real reason cannot be said. Bai Yingluo pondered for a moment, and smiled: "After the long winter, the common spring flowers are not only peach blossoms, but also winter jasmine and pear blossoms? Pear flowers are white, and winter jasmine flowers are yellow. They are not warm enough, but the pink of peach blossom makes people feel that spring is here, so I like peach blossom.”

Liusu and Liuying thought for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case, and they nodded with sudden understanding.

Bai Yingluo pursed her lips and laughed.

After walking for a while, and then returning to Qing'an Hall, Old Master Bai and Old Lady Bai had already got up, the three of them had breakfast, and Bai Yingluo went to Mingcui Residence.

In the past few days, Erfang didn't know what happy event happened, Bai Yingyun had a happy smile every day, and when talking to Bai Yingluo, they were not as tit-for-tat as before.

Seeing Bai Yingluo arrived, Bai Yingyun greeted her kindly: "Sixth Sister, the Dou Mansion sent a message, please let's go to their mansion to enjoy the flowers, sister agree?"

With a dazed expression, Bai Yingluo shook her head, "I haven't received the post yet."

She was secretly happy in her heart, but Bai Yingyun complained annoyedly on her face, "Miss Dou's move is really deceiving people too much. Since it is an invitation, and we are all acquaintances, isn't this a shame for my sister? Go back and spread the word Going out, I thought my sister did something wrong and offended Ms. Dou, really."

Putting on a gentle smile, Bai Yingyun stepped forward and took Bai Yingluo's hand, "Sixth sister, don't worry, go to the Dou mansion to see Miss Dou, and I will ask carefully to see if there is anything wrong with it." Misunderstanding, it would be great if there is no misunderstanding, if there is, I will definitely say a few words for you, so that Miss Dou will no longer annoy you."

Knowing that Bai Yingyun deliberately put on this appearance to embarrass herself, Bai Yingluo didn't care, she nodded and smiled, neither nodded nor shook her head.

Behind him, Master Yao came into the room and coughed lightly, Bai Yingluo naturally withdrew her hand and walked to her seat.

Bai Yingyun curled her lips, but after a moment, a comfortable smile appeared on her face, and even her eyes were full of deep smiles.

In Qiuranxuan, the second lady's natal family came, and the second lady asked about her parents' health with concern. She knew that everything was fine at home, and her second uncle who had been released outside was promoted to an official position. After a few more years, Entering Beijing as an official is also an uncompromising member of the court, so the second wife is a little excited.

Asking about the nephews and nieces at home, and listening to the mother-in-law's details, how many of them have reached the age of marriage, the second lady's heart can't help but move.

After asking each one clearly, the second lady ordered the servant girl to reward the old woman generously and let her go out.

Leaning on the soft couch, calculating the property in Bai Yingluo's hands, the second lady's eyes gradually narrowed.

Today's Bai Yingluo is no longer comparable to what it used to be. The things in her hands will be her dowry in the future. Although it is only a drop in the bucket in a house like the Jing'an Hou Mansion, it will be a drop in the bucket when it comes to other people's houses. It's a lot of wealth, if I can give this golden mountain to my natal family...

The more I thought about it, the more feasible it became. The second lady thought about it for a long time, then sat up, washed and dressed.

I went all the way to Qing'an Hall, entered the house, and saw Mrs. Xue was there. The second lady invited Ann and sat at Mrs. Xue's lower seat.

Hearing Mrs. Xue's non-painful talk about the trivial matters in the house, but the old lady Bai seemed to be listening seriously, and the second lady frowned involuntarily.

The old lady Bai noticed, and took advantage of the time when Xue's words were finished, she asked the second lady: "But what's the matter?"

"It's indeed a good thing, but I don't know whether to say it or not."

The second lady pretended to be hesitant and said.

"Tell me..."

Annoyed by the appearance of the Second Madam the most, Old Madam Bai waved her hand.

The second lady pursed her lips and smiled, and said with some joy: "Just now, someone from my natal family came to announce the good news, saying that my second uncle did a good job in his errands. A few days ago, he was awarded by the emperor and promoted to another level. My lobby The nephew of my brother's family has been smart since he was a child, and my second aunt has always raised her like a sweetheart. I met him the year before last, and he is really a good-looking talent, so I was thinking just now, maybe we can still kiss each other Let’s get married again. Now, my second uncle is the governor of Xu Ning. Speaking of which, the two families can be regarded as a match, and it’s not considered wronged sister Luo, so the daughter-in-law thought, taking advantage of my nephew If the marriage is not settled, I can help to negotiate and make peace, if it is possible, the daughter-in-law can get a red envelope from the matchmaker, which is considered a merit, old lady, what do you think?"

If Mrs. Xue were to talk about such a matter, Mrs. Bai might really think about it.

But after all these years, the old lady Bai knows better than anyone what kind of person her second daughter-in-law is. Now, when she suddenly wanted to propose marriage to Bai Yingluo, the first thing that the old lady thought of was that Bai Yingluo had just arrived and hadn't covered her. Hot industries.

Not wanting to give her hope, lest there be any rumors after a long time, the old lady Bai refused: "Xu Ning is so far away, I am not willing to let sister Luo marry so far away, this marriage should be arranged in the capital. The old man and I will decide about Sister Luo's marriage, so don't worry about it."

It's been a month since Bai Yingluo's 14th birthday. If it's someone else's family, the 14-year-old girl hasn't made an appointment yet, so she must think that she has some hidden disease and will be laughed at.

But the second lady raised her eyes, where could she see any anxiety on Old Madam Bai's face?

Could it be that these two very independent elders in my family have already made up their minds?

The second lady's heart skipped a beat.
