Glory all the way

Chapter 163 Transformation
"mother……"

In the inner room of Qiu Ranxuan, Bai Yingyun nestled in her mother's arms, crying heartbroken.

Growing up so big, this is the first time that the mother and daughter have been separated for such a long time, and the mother's emaciation made Bai Yingyun feel extremely annoyed by her previous self-willedness.

Weeping, the second wife opened her mouth, but she didn't know where to start, so she put her arms around Bai Yingyun, and the mother and daughter cried for a while.

After a cup of tea, the crying in the inner room gradually disappeared. The maid came in with a copper basin, and the second wife and Bai Yingyun washed and washed themselves before sitting together and talking for a while.

What happened in the yard, when the second wife learned from Bai Yingyun, she was both angry and happy.

What makes her angry is that the man she counts as her reliance has such a face. In the past two months, not only did she not try her best to let her mother-in-law call to pick her up, but she spent her days and nights outside.

The joy is that my daughter, who has always been sane, has finally grown up after all this and knows how to use others to achieve her own goals.

"Remember, don't trust anyone except your mother, otherwise, you will be like your mother in the future, and you won't even be able to trust the person you should rely on the most."

With eyes full of helplessness and a low sigh, the second lady taught Bai Yingyun softly.

Knowing that this time, her father really hurt her mother's heart, Bai Yingyun didn't know how to persuade her, she nodded her head in response, and then talked about the Qing'an Hall. The second lady's thoughts were quickly diverted aside. .

Hastily arranged for the servants to tidy up the interior and exterior of Qiu Ranxuan, and it was already the fifteenth day of August. As in previous years, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the mansion was placed in the big flower hall of Mingya Garden .

There were four tables in total, and even Du Xuan and Xue Zhe were invited to sit with Brother Bai Jinyuan and the others.

There are a lot of happy events in the mansion this year, not to mention that Bai Jinyuan has already been conferred the title of Prince Jing'an Hou and received an errand, but the marriage of Bai Yingyun and Bai Yingluo has been agreed, and Jiji will get married in the next year, and Jing'an Hou's mansion will also be married. We will host this mid-autumn family banquet lively.

Since it was a family banquet, it was not as complicated as usual for entertaining guests. The four large mahogany round tables were placed very close together, and everything such as the screen was removed.

Xue Zhe is Xue's nephew, and he is not considered an outsider because he is related to the Jing'an Houfu. Therefore, from the obvious point of view, Du Xuan is the only outsider.

However, although outsiders don't know about Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo's marriage, it is no longer a secret in Jing'an Hou's mansion. Therefore, after drinking for three rounds, Bai Jinyuan specially raised his glass and looked at Du Xuan. With a playful smile, "After all, no one is as lucky as you kid. What's the matter, you have to drink three cups to show your heart?"

Knowing that Du Xuan was talking about old master Bai's knowledge of him and Bai Yingluo's upcoming marriage to him, Du Xuan quickly stood up and drank the three glasses of wine in front of him with his back.

Sitting back to his original position, his handsome cheeks were slightly blush, making him look more and more like Pan An.

Bai Yingluo was sitting at the adjacent table, looking up, she happened to be able to see Du Xuan, and saw that although he was still as quiet as before, there was infinite joy in the corners of his eyes and brows, and his whole person looked radiant. Bai Yingluo's heart also became happy.

From time to time, Du Xuan's eyes would glance at the table where the girl was, and what he was looking at was naturally Bai Yingluo.

The two looked at each other, and their eyes were full of tenderness and tenderness. When Bai Yingyun, who was sitting beside Bai Yingluo, saw it, she couldn't help feeling sour in her heart.

Before her eyes, she recalled the appearance of Bai Yingluo and Du Xuan whispering affectionately in front of the Hanging Flower Gate at night, and Du Xuan's words "Hold your hand and grow old with you" kept ringing in your ears. Bai Yingyun only felt that the original The sweet and delicious fruit tea and dishes are like Coptis chinensis, not the original taste at all.

After an unknown amount of time, the banquet finally came to an end, and a group of people followed Old Master Bai and Mrs. Bai to the garden to enjoy the moon.

When the breeze blew, Bai Yingyun suddenly woke up.

Now, the deal is done, instead of worrying about these details, let Su Wenyuan beat Du Xuan, this is the most important thing.

One must know that Su Wenyuan has already been selected as a Jinshi. If he had a half-official position, Du Xuan would have already lost from the very beginning. By that time, even if he married at the same time, Bai Yingluo and him would no longer be able to compare.

Thinking of this, Bai Yingyun felt a little more relaxed, but at the same time made up her mind that she would have a good talk with her mother about this matter some other day, and see what her uncle and aunt planned for Su Wenyuan's future.

The night sky is deep, the flowers are full and the moon is full. Walking in the backyard, the fragrance of remnant lotus and autumn chrysanthemum floats faintly, which makes this full moon night more peaceful and beautiful.

After walking around for a while before returning to Qing'an Hall, it was getting late, old master Bai and old lady Bai had a conversation, Marquis Jing'an led everyone to stand up and salute, and exited the main room.

On the second day, when Bai Yingluo finished her grooming and went to Qing'an Hall, the second wife and Bai Yingyun had already arrived.

It has already been spared the morning and evening inspections of each house, and now, it is Mrs. Xue, if there is no important matter, he only comes to Qing'an Hall to pay his respects once in three or two days. Although the second wife's move is a bit of a deadlock, it will hinder the whole family Everyone looked at it, and the old lady Bai didn't want to refute the face of the second lady, so she acquiesced.

For a while, the second wife and Bai Yingyun ran to Qing'an Hall more and more diligently, and Bai Yingluo seemed to be a little bit out of control in front of her grandparents.

No one knew that when the second wife got up early every day to serve the second elder in Qing'an Hall, Qiu Ranxuan was in the room, and Aunt Zhao had to stand for several hours.

However, no matter if you are wronged or helpless, it is the rule for the concubine to set the morning and evening schedules for the wife of the main house, and Aunt Zhao can't just go back to her room to rest just because the second wife is not in the house.

Although Aunt Zhao cried several times in front of the second master, she was helpless, and even the second master was a little timid when he saw the second wife, let alone speak for Aunt Zhao.

In a few days, everything returned to normal in Qiu Ranxuan.

After the Double Ninth Festival, everything seemed to be back to the way it was before, and no one in the manor dared to gossip in private, saying that the second room had lost the favor of the old man and the old lady.

One day, after taking a nap and getting up, Bai Yingluo was drinking tea, when she heard the voice of a maidservant outside asking for her greetings, but it was the second lady who came.

bother you for something.

The number of times the second wife came to Lanxin Pavilion is very few. After the Dragon Boat Festival, the two of them completely tore apart their faces. Today's encounter, but they don't know why.

She muttered in her heart, but Bai Yingluo didn't show anything on her face, she got up and went out to meet her.

The second lady came with a gift.

Turning around, he took a brocade box from the maid, and the second lady placed it in front of Bai Yingluo, "Sister Luo, this is a set of hairstyles that I specially went to the shop to choose a few days ago, and it is the most fashionable pattern in the capital now. , In the past, I was deceived by lard, and I was afraid that someone would spoil your innocence, so I did such a thing. But you must know that I love your heart just as much as I treat your fifth sister .”

Saying that, the second lady's face showed a look of sadness, "I know, I have been too strict with you these years, but I also did it for your own good. Seeing that you have grown up and are going to get married now, you can't Let's break up this blood relationship in the future, shall we? Sister Luo, in the past, it was all the fault of the second uncle and the second aunt. Today, the second aunt apologized to you. From now on, it only depends on how the second aunt treats you, but good?"

from now on?
It's already September now, and I'm afraid it will only be more than half a year for me to be able to live at home. Why is the second lady acting like this?
Doubts suddenly arose in her heart, and Bai Yingluo also took advantage of the situation to be small, "You are too serious, Luo'er also has ignorance. After all these years, if it weren't for you, how could Luo'er be where she is today? Don't mention the past, just Let's look back."

Even my grandfather and grandmother don't care about it. If I still hold grudges in my heart, how can the future be smooth?

On the left and right, there are grandparents who love me, and uncles and aunts who treat me kindly. As for the second wife, if they can maintain a peaceful relationship on the surface, everything will be fine.

Hearing what Bai Yingluo said, the second lady had a joyful expression on her face, and after admonishing Bai Yingluo a lot, she left the Lanxin Pavilion.

But after stepping out of the courtyard gate of Cheng Huan Residence, the second wife didn't go back to Qiu Ranxuan, but went straight to Qing'an Hall.

Wiping her tears, she talked about the hardships she had brought up Bai Yingluo for more than ten years, and said with satisfaction that the two of them had settled their suspicions in Lanxin Pavilion just now. It's my fault, and I will never do it again. Sister Yun and Sister Luo are both young ladies of the Jing'an Hou Mansion. They have face, and if word spreads, the Jing'an Hou Mansion will follow suit. From now on, just look at me Show it off."

The Second Madam's determination was very sincere, Old Madam Bai thought of the peace and harmony in the Yuefu, Lao Huai nodded in relief.

"Old lady, Sister Yun's happy days are approaching, and Sister Luo is also a matter of front and rear. My wife has something to do, and I need you to show me."

Respectfully speaking, the second lady looked at old lady Bai cautiously.

Seeing the old lady Bai nodded, the second lady said softly: "Sister Yun's dowry, these days, my daughter-in-law is about to start preparing. I thought, why don't I take over Sister Luo's dowry as well?" Come over and get some. Although Wen Yuan and Mr. Du have very different family backgrounds, Sister Yun and Sister Luo are both the daughters of the Hou Mansion, and they cannot treat one more favorably than the other. Therefore, the two dowry should be the same. I am a And set it up, I will show you the list when the time comes, if there is anything inappropriate, then change it according to your wishes, what do you think?"

Originally, according to Old Madam Bai's intentions, Bai Yingluo's dowry was arranged by Mrs. Xue, no doubt, she couldn't rest assured of the Second Madam.

But now she said that there are two copies, and the list will be used for her own consideration, even if she wants to do something, it may be difficult.And Mrs. Xue was already taking care of the middle class of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, and there were a lot of trivial matters on a daily basis. If she was asked to buy a dowry for Bai Yingluo, it might be a little hard work.

Thinking so, the old lady Bai nodded in agreement, and at the same time carefully instructed the second lady a lot.

When the news reached Lanxin Pavilion, Bai Yingluo sighed with a wry smile: "Now, I know what she has planned."
