Glory all the way

Chapter 157 Anxiety
For several days, Bai Yingluo felt restless.

If it was true as I guessed, the old patriarch of Baijiazhuang came to the Marquis Mansion twice and talked with his grandfather about his marriage with Du Xuan, then once the marriage was negotiated, his grandfather and grandmother would tell him no matter what.

No matter how bad it is, there will be rumors from the Marquis of Jing'an and the Xue family, and because of the love that my aunt has for me, they will definitely make fun of me in a subtle way.

But now, everything is calm, as if nothing happened.

Could it be that he was not talking about his own marriage, or that Du Xuan didn't agree?

If it was the former, Bai Yingluo didn't have to worry, after all, even if she was Jiji, her grandparents wouldn't hastily choose an unsatisfactory marriage for her to marry.

But if it's the latter...

Bai Yingluo didn't dare to think about it.

When they went to Mingcui Residence for class, Bai Yingluo was quite absent-minded. Although Master Yao didn't go out with people in the mansion much, there were still rumors about what happened these days.

The class was over calmly, watching Miss Seven and Miss Eight being taken away by their respective wet nurses, Bai Yingyun also left sadly, Master Yao took Bai Yingluo back to Xiaoya Zhai.

"what happened?"

After brewing tea himself and serving it to Bai Yingluo, Master Yao sat beside her and asked with concern.

After hesitating for a while, Bai Yingluo shook her head, and said in a somewhat dejected way: "There is nothing in the world, and nothing disturbs people. Maybe I think too much, it's okay, it will be fine in a few days."

This kind of thing often happened in the past, Bai Yingluo didn't want to talk about it, Master Yao didn't ask too much, the two sat quietly facing each other, chatting about other things, Bai Yingluo got up and went back to the room.

Laying on the soft couch with a lot of preoccupations, looking at the sunlight through the half-opened window, Bai Yingluo felt a thousand melancholy indescribable.

After sighing a few words, Bai Yingluo turned over and gradually fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was almost lunch time.

When they arrived at Qing'an Hall, they saw an old lady with gray hair sitting next to her grandmother. Bai Yingluo stepped forward and saluted respectfully and said, "Yingluo has met Mrs. Zhou, is the old lady all right?"

Pulling up Bai Yingluo with a smile, Mrs. Zhou replied with bent eyes, "Okay, everything is fine."

As she was talking, Mrs. Zhou turned her head and boasted to Mrs. Bai: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and this child is a little more slick. You still know how to take care of others, whether it's Sister Ping before or Sister Luo today. I was taught very well by you. The day before yesterday, I was a guest at Sister Yan’s house, and she praised Sister Ping very much when she mentioned Sun’s wife.”

This Mrs. Zhou is the old lady of Duke Hui's family. She used to be close friends with Mrs. Bai. When she was free, she would often come to talk to Mrs. Bai, and the two were most acquainted.

Whenever someone praises Bai Yingluo, the old lady Bai is as happy as if she is boasting herself. When she hears it now, her face is wrinkled, "Sister Luo is raised by my side, so naturally I have to raise her well." .”

Old Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhou were talking, and Bai Yingluo sat quietly and listened. After a while, Mrs. Bai came back from the study, and they had dinner together. After the meal, Mrs. Bai affectionately held Zhou The old lady went for a walk in the backyard, while coaxing Bai Yingluo to go back to the house and rest.

As Bai Yingluo walked towards the Lanxin Pavilion, she began to speculate suspiciously.

In the past, when Mrs. Zhou came to Jing'an Hou's Mansion, she also joked with Mrs. Bai, saying that she would propose a marriage for her grandson and ask to marry Bai Yingluo. However, considering that the children of both families were still young, the two of them took it as a joke. Generally speaking, it has passed, but since then, Mrs. Zhou has never mentioned this matter again.

When Bai Yingluo was twelve or thirteen years old and reached the age to discuss marriage, there were a lot of gossip in the capital, picking and choosing Bai Shiming and Liu's early death, and coming and going, Bai Yingluo was delayed until now .

Thinking of the fact that she hadn't heard from her grandmother that Mrs. Zhou was coming to the mansion the day before, Bai Yingluo knew that maybe it was her grandmother who had posted a post to invite Mrs. Zhou to come over. At this moment, the two of them went for a walk in the backyard mysteriously , Bai Yingluo couldn't help feeling that this matter had something to do with her.

Could it be that grandma wants to bring up the old things again?

The young master of Duke Hui's mansion is the second son of Duke Hui. Bai Yingluo has never seen him before, but now that she thinks about it carefully, she has never heard anything related to him. Thinking about it, she must not be very outstanding. of.

I can't complain, Mrs. Zhou would have such thoughts that day.

Thinking wildly all the way back to Lanxin Pavilion, Bai Yingluo felt as impatient as claws scratching her heart.

The chess class in the afternoon was over, and Bai Yingluo rushed back to Qing'an Hall. Mrs. Zhou had already left, and Mrs. Bai was lying on the soft couch to doze off, with her foot resting on the edge, and Qiu Wen was squatting there and beating her legs for Mrs. Bai.

Bai Yingluo made a gesture of silence, waved Qiu Wen to get up, and served the old lady Bai instead of her.

It took only a cup of tea for the old lady Bai to wake up. When she opened her eyes, she saw that it was Bai Yingluo. gone?"

Bai Yingluo smiled, took the handkerchief from Qiuwen, and said with a flattering smile, "Grandmother is Luo'er's grandmother, so naturally I should be filial, how can Qiuwen and Qiuyue replace me?" ?”

As she spoke, Bai Yingluo took a pear from the fruit plate and peeled it, and asked seemingly unintentionally, "Grandmother, is there any happy event in Duke Hui's mansion? I saw that Mrs. Zhou looks very good, better than the Dragon Boat Festival." When we meet, there is still energy."

With a pursed smile, the old lady Bai took the silver stick from Bai Yingluo, tied a piece of pear and ate it, and said, "Grandmother is looking at a marriage and wants to keep a matchmaker, so I invited her to find out. It’s done, and it’s a merit.”

Hearing this, the boulder that was pressing on Bai Yingluo's heart was instantly emptied.

If the marriage had something to do with her, grandma would definitely not say it so calmly.

Sighing lightly, Bai Yingluo's complexion couldn't help but relax a little bit, the old lady Bai rolled her eyes, and couldn't help laughing, "Silly girl, don't you think that grandma wants to marry you to Duke Hui's mansion?" go?"

Her careful thinking was exposed, Bai Yingluo lowered her head in embarrassment and did not speak.

The old lady Bai chuckled, put down the silver sign and explained: "It's your cousin Xue's family. She is already dead and hasn't been engaged yet, but you have seen that it would be a pity if such a neat and good girl is delayed. It was the Dragon Boat Festival chat, and I heard Mrs. Zhou mention his grandson. I just remembered it. Although your cousin Xue is two years older than him, but everyone said that the younger husband and the older daughter-in-law will hurt people when they are older. Their family may Don't care about it. No, I just invited Mrs. Zhou to find out, if it works, your aunt will be happy too, if grandma gets the red envelope of thanking the matchmaker, she will put makeup on our sister Luo."

She was listening carefully before, but when she heard that she was mentioned at the end, Bai Yingluo blushed instantly, twisted her handkerchief and said, "Grandmother, I was just curious for a while, you just came to make fun of me."

Seeing Bai Yingluo showing such a rare and charming posture, the old lady Bai smiled more and more.

Thinking of what Old Master Bai said to herself a few days ago, Old Madam Bai looked at Bai Yingluo lovingly and asked, "Sister Luo, what do you think of Mr. Du from Baijiazhuang?"

There was a pause in her heart, and suddenly she jumped up like a deer. Bai Yingluo said calmly: "My grandfather and uncle praised him very much. I think he is very talented. As the name suggests, it is like a warm and moist jade, given time, it will surely shine brightly."

The old lady Bai nodded with a smile, but said nothing more. Bai Yingluo wanted to ask but dared not ask. For a moment, her heart hung in the air like that.

After chatting idly for a while, the old lady Bai sighed lightly, stroked Bai Yingluo's hair and said, "Sister Luo, whether a person is good or not can't be judged on the surface. And whether that person's family background is good or not, Whether he is talented or not is just one aspect of him. To live life, the most important thing is to see if that person treats you well. If he treats you well, even if you follow him to eat chaff and swallow vegetables, your heart will be as warm and sweet as honey If he treats you badly, even if he wears gold, wears silver, and eats hot food, you will feel unspeakable pain in your heart. So, this life has nothing to do with your family background, it only has to do with that person, you do you know?"

Half understanding, Bai Yingluo nodded obediently, and next to her ear, old lady Bai sighed inaudibly, "I hope I didn't hurt you."

In an instant, Bai Yingluo became transparent like a divine enlightenment.

For the Jing'an Hou Mansion, Du Xuan was not a good match for Bai Yingluo, and when these two were together, anyone would feel that Du Xuan was the one who had the upper hand.

However, just like what the old lady Bai said just now, all the external conditions in life are illusory and ungraspable, and only the sincerity of that person is the most rare.

If Du Xuan really treats Bai Yingluo as he promised, this marriage, which is not favored by anyone now, may not be a blessing for Bai Yingluo. Live life, see people's hearts for a long time, and a lifetime is still very long.

But if Du Xuan broke his promise, he would have no family background, no family background, no wealth, and Bai Yingluo, who married him, would have many hardships in the future, everyone can imagine.

So, looking at it now, this marriage that has been decided in the hearts of Old Master Bai and Old Madam Bai is like a big gamble. If you win the bet, everyone is happy. The old man Bai and the old lady Bai have endless remorse and self-blame in the years since then.

But even at that time, when the two of them were about to go west, everything would be over when death was like a lamp being extinguished, and Bai Yingluo still had a long life to spend slowly.

Compared to Mrs. Bai's inexplicable confidence in Du Xuan, Mrs. Bai was full of worries. Therefore, seeing such a well-behaved and sensible Bai Yingluo, Mrs. Bai felt an indescribable heaviness in her heart.

After coming out of Qing'an Hall, looking at the gray and gloomy sky that seemed to be about to rain again, Bai Yingluo's heart was brighter than ever before.
