Glory all the way

Chapter 15 Proud
"Sixth sister, there's no need. I've already chosen the material I like. This is grandma's wish. You can save it to make a new dress."

After hearing Bai Yingluo's words, Bai Yingying was very grateful in her heart, but she insisted on declining.

"Yes, my sisters have them, but you don't. It seems that grandma has treated you poorly, so keep it. Master Ming'er will come to your door for a measurement, and I'll show you to grandma when I'm ready to wear it..."

The old lady Bai patted Bai Yingluo's hand in relief.

Blinking her eyes and thinking for a while, Bai Yingluo smiled slyly and said, "Grandmother, Fourth Sister is going to get married in August, this piece of satin is embroidered with Bingdi lotus, it's a great prize, how about I change it with Fourth Sister ?”

Saying so, Bai Yingluo ignored Bai Yingying's refusal, got up and called Xiangzhu, and handed the water-red brocade she was holding to Bai Yingying's maid.

The sisters are friendly, seeing the old lady Bai, she was very relieved and nodded repeatedly to express her joy.

Bai Yingyun lowered her head calmly, but she kept scolding a lot of unpleasant words in her heart.

In fact, a good horse is just a piece of clothing material, it doesn't matter if it's gone, but it's Bai Yingluo's resistance that makes Bai Yingyun even more angry.

From childhood to adulthood, Bai Yingluo dared not resist what Bai Yingyun said, but at some point, Bai Yingluo changed, she became not as obedient and docile as before, nor as easy to bully as before.

Looking up again, Bai Yingyun's face was already calm, and she softly persuaded Bai Yingying, "Fourth sister, there are grandmother's love on both sides, and sixth sister's kindness of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, sister should accept it, and then refuse, don't you?" It's going to chill Sixth Sister's heart."

Seeing Bai Yingluo nod her head, Bai Yingying didn't refuse anymore, and thanked her with a smile.

After leaving the Qing'an Hall, the three young ladies had already been taken away by the nurses and maids in their respective rooms, and Bai Yingluo and the three were left last.

After thanking Bai Yingluo several times, Bai Yingying walked away quickly, and in front of the hanging flower door, only Bai Yingyun was left looking at Bai Yingluo with a probing look.

"Sixth sister is becoming more and more good at being a favor now. It is obviously something belonging to grandma, but you use it as a favor. Not only has she gained a good reputation in front of grandma, but she also has a good reputation in front of fourth sister. Sixth sister is really good. grown up……"

Lukewarm, Bai Yingyun carefully examined Bai Yingluo, as if she wanted to see exactly where she had changed.

But after a long while, Bai Yingyun was annoyed and found out: Bai Yingluo seemed to be more beautiful, her eyes were watery as if she could speak, but she looked at her quietly, and she could see the disdain in it.

Qiong's nose was straight, her lips were bright red, she used the leftover rouge and powder she chose, but when it came to Bai Yingluo's body, it seemed like a good thing made by the imperial court, adding a bit of color to her.

"Why, isn't Fifth Sister looking for the bamboo-leaf-green gauze satin?"

With a look of surprise on her face, Bai Yingluo whispered, "Just now I clearly saw that Fifth Sister's eyes were lingering on the water-red brocade, but after I chose it, Fifth Sister frequently looked at the piece that Fourth Sister chose. I thought I made a wrong choice, and I was afraid that my fifth sister would be angry, so I asked my grandmother to change it back."

With an unfeigned sincerity on her face, it seems that she changed it for Bai Yingyun from the bottom of her heart, but looking back at the bamboo-leaf green satin, Bai Yingyun seemed a little speechless and melancholy, full of complaints that could not be vented in an instant. up.

"you……"

After muttering for a while, Bai Yingyun gave Bai Yingluo an anxious look, then turned and walked forward, but she didn't mention the bamboo-leaf green gauze again.

There was a faint smile on Bai Yingluo's lips.

If he had chosen the water-red brocade, he would end up with nothing in his hands, at most a piece of old satin that the second lady had plucked out.

But now, it is still the satin that the grandmother rewarded, and even gave Bai Yingying a favor for nothing, why not do it?
Sighing in satisfaction, Bai Yingluo followed Bai Yingyun from a distance, and the two went back to their own rooms.

"Hey, I don't know when Master Yao will come back. I'm almost suffocated due to the repeated delays..."

In Yi'an Pavilion, Bai Yingluo complained for the [-]th time.

Master Yao is a female master invited by the Jing'an Hou Mansion for the young ladies. This person knows everything from astronomy to geography, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and Fu.

Even old Mrs. Bai expressed emotion, saying that it is a pity that she was born as a daughter. If it were a man, she must be a capable minister who can sweep the battlefield with both literary and literary skills.

Since the eldest lady was five years old, Master Yao has been teaching in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion. After so many years, he has become an indispensable person in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

Years ago, Master Yao's mother was seriously ill, so Master Yao asked for leave and returned home. Before he left, he said he would be back in three months, but this was postponed again and again, and now, boudoir school has stopped for more than half a year.

"Miss Four and Miss Fifth were overjoyed when they found out that they had stopped their boudoir studies, but Miss Yao, when you mentioned Mrs. Yao, your face almost wrinkled into a bun."

Jokingly speaking, Chen Xiang came over and handed the handkerchief for cleaning hands to Bai Yingluo, and said comfortingly: "Master Yao said before returning home from leave, that the old mother was seriously ill. How can such a matter be handled so quickly?" Maybe it’s because of the delay in family affairs, the young lady is waiting patiently, I just hope everything goes well.”

If Master Yao's mother dies of illness, with Master Yao's pure and filial nature, it will be another year of filial piety, and Bai Yingluo does not need to expect her to come back at all.

It was also for this reason that Chen Xiang didn't continue after half a sentence.

"Miss, the masters of Jinxiufang have brought new dresses, you can try them on quickly, and if they are not suitable, let them take them back and change them."

Walking towards the inner room with a small bundle in her hand, Liu Ying said cheerfully: "The old lady also said that if it fits well, I can wear it for her to have a look at lunch."

That piece of gauze satin with green bamboo leaves was too plain for a girl to wear, so Bai Yingluo asked Chen Xiang to put it away.

On the second day, the master from Jinxiu Workshop came to have a measurement, and Bai Yingluo asked Tassel to take out a piece of pale pink silk from previous years, and made an elegant pleated skirt.

Putting on a new dress and walking out, even Chen Xiang, who has always been prudent, praised happily: "Miss, this is exactly in line with the poem you read a few days ago. Clear water comes out of hibiscus, and it is really beautiful to carve and decorate naturally." gone."

"It's early in the morning, did you put honey on your mouth?"

With a coquettish voice, Bai Yingluo looked in the mirror and was also extremely satisfied.

Arriving at Qing'an Hall before lunch, sure enough, the six young ladies were all wearing new dresses, shuttling around the room like flowers and butterflies, not only the old lady Bai, but even the eldest son Bai Shizhong, changed from the seriousness of the past, and smiled very happily. It's a few words of praise.

Bai Yingyun has a fair complexion, and lake green is the most suitable color for her. When trying on clothes in the Yunshui Pavilion, Bai Yingyun was very proud when she thought that Bai Yingluo got the dull bamboo leaf green gauze satin. Seeing that she actually chose her The materials she had saved turned out to be more refined and outstanding. Bai Yingyun suddenly felt that her new clothes were like rags in a kitchen, making her like a green frog by the lake, which was extremely embarrassing.

After a meal, the children in new clothes were happy, and the adults were also happy, but Bai Yingyun remained silent.

After lunch, Bai Shizhong rarely left early, knowing that he had something to say, the second wife and the fourth wife restrained their children, followed the second and fourth masters, and sat in their respective seats, waiting to listen to Bai Shizhong. say.

"The sixth princess in the palace is going to marry and become the queen of the neighboring Da'an Kingdom. The auspicious date is set to be in the spring of next year. Therefore, the queen mother said that she would choose six young ladies from the capital to learn etiquette in the palace with the sixth princess. Be a companion for the sixth princess."

Looking back at Bai Yingyun and Bai Yingluo, Bai Shizhong's eyes fell on his wife, Xue Shi, "Although there is no word from the palace yet, the imperial concubine's imperial edict is only a few days away, so, you first Get ready and consider who you want to report. Although it is not certain whether you will be selected or not, but if you are selected, if you are in a hurry, wouldn't you lose the face of the Houfu?"

After finishing speaking, Bai Yingluo clearly felt that Bai Yingyun beside her was a little excited.

Since it is for the princess as companions, naturally the age should not be too young. The only suitable age for the Jing'an Hou Mansion is Bai Yingyun and Bai Yingluo.

"What Shi Zhong said is exactly the reason..."

The old lady Bai nodded in response, and looked at Bai Yingluo calmly.

In fact, there is nothing to consider in this matter. The age-appropriate Bai Yingyun and Bai Yingluo have been raised in the second room since they were young, and there is no conflict with the first room and the fourth room. As long as the second room decides who to choose, this matter is considered so. It's settled.

But now that Bai Shizhong has brought it up, it can be seen that he has already considered it in detail beforehand, but the candidate he selected is not very suitable, so someone needs to get an idea from the side.

"Brother, I don't think there is any choice in this matter. If the third brother and the third younger siblings are here, the candidate is naturally Sister Luo. I have no opinion at all, but now, even ordinary people still taboo Luo My sister's background, let alone the royal family."

It was a matter of long face, the second master was not ambiguous at all, he went straight to fight for it without waiting for the second wife to signal.

As if he felt that he was too eager, the second master gave Bai Yingluo a pityful look, then turned his head and continued, "It is a great joy for the sixth princess to marry and become the queen of the Da'an Kingdom. Dozens of pairs of eyes are staring at us, our Hou Mansion can't be careless about such a matter, we would rather not be selected than let Sister Luo go."

Bai Yingluo's parents died young, kindhearted people will feel sorry for her and shed a few tears of sympathy.However, there are also those who have a bad heart and secretly say that Bai Yingluo's fate is too hard, so they killed their parents early.

It is also fortunate that there has not been any funeral in Jing'an Hou Mansion for so many years, otherwise, Bai Yingluo would be even more confused.

At this moment, although what the second master said was true, the old lady Bai still had a dark face.

After waving her hands, the old lady Bai said softly, "Don't worry about it, let's settle on Sister Yun. I'll be ready in the next few days."

Immediately, Bai Yingyun's eyes burst out with joyful light.
