Glory all the way

Chapter 169 Sweetness
"Really? Is that what people say outside?"

In the Yunshui Pavilion, Bai Yingyun was peeling an orange, while listening to the magpie talking about the outside world, before she finished listening, she paused in astonishment.

Magpie nodded, "I heard that what happened after Mr. Du returned to Qingsong Academy after leaving the Hou's Mansion yesterday. Several masters from Jingdu Academy took their disciples to Qingsong Academy to debate. I never thought that the private visit of Shengshang Weifu would also happen." Went to Qingsong Academy. Everyone said that Mr. Du was a tongue-in-cheek, with extraordinary demeanor, and he was praised by the Holy One in the end."

Turning the corner of her mouth, Bai Yingyun angrily tore off the orange peel, raised her hand and threw it into the charcoal brazier in front of her feet.

There was a "hissing" sound, and the flames in the charcoal brazier flickered for a moment. Then, black smoke lingered, and a refreshing faint orange fragrance filled the room, but Bai Yingyun became more and more irritable, "That poor scholar , besides flattering others, what else can he do? It just so happens that he has such a coincidence, what a piece of shit luck..."

It was really inappropriate to say such rude words from a young lady of the Hou family like Bai Yingyun. Magpie and Xiyan showed a bit of embarrassment, and then they persuaded them softly.

Du Xuan was praised by Emperor Jiayuan in the academy, and spread all over the capital overnight. For a while, those who knew Du Xuan were envious and jealous, but those who didn't know him , they all whispered to each other, thinking that he was a newly promoted noble son.

When they learned that Du Xuan was just a poor student with no background, and was recommended by the old man Bai of the Jing'an Hou Mansion to study hard at Qingsong Academy, everyone speculated that the Jing'an Hou Mansion played an important role in this incident. What kind of role did you play.

In Qing'an Hall, Old Master Bai had an expression of uncontrollable joy.

"Who would have expected that the Holy One would go to Qingsong Academy in disguise? Let me tell you, Du Xuan is a gifted child. Now the Holy One has paid attention to it. As long as Du Xuan doesn't make any big mistakes during the test, it seems that he wants to fail the exam." It's not easy, haha..."

Smiling happily, Old Master Bai looked at his wife with a proud expression on his face.

The old lady Bai saw it in her eyes, but she really sighed several times in her heart.

That year, the third son Bai Shiming passed the Jinshi examination, and the old man Bai was also very happy. This situation is so consistent with that time.

The two were chatting and laughing, and the voice of Bai Yingluo talking to the maid came from the yard. The old lady Bai pursed her lips and patted the back of the old master Bai's hand, telling him to stop talking, so as not to bring it up to Bai Yingluo, she would be shy again stand up.

Bai Yingluo had already learned about this from Liu Ying, and the smile on her face hadn't faded since she got up in the morning, but she restrained herself a little when she went to Qing'an Hall to pay her respects, for fear of being teased again by her grandparents.

After entering the room, Bai Yingluo snuggled up to the old lady Bai and started talking. The old lady sat for a while, then got up and went outside.

While there was no one around, the old lady Bai whispered to Bai Yingluo, "In a few days, it will be the twelfth lunar month, and those shopkeepers will come to pay their respects again. What does the shop in your hand look like now? Is it clear?"

Tao Jianming would send a letter to Bai Yingluo every two months. Tao Jianming could clearly analyze the situation of the shops in various places and the future development prospects one by one. I have a clear grasp of all the shops in the city.

Seeing her grandmother's question, Bai Yingluo answered confidently: "Grandmother, don't worry, I will deal with it properly when the time comes. If there is anything I don't understand, you are still here, so Luo'er won't worry."

The old lady Bai smiled, stretched out her hand and scratched the tip of Bai Yingluo's nose, "You are just a clever ghost, even more eccentric than your elder sister."

After joking for a while, the old lady Bai couldn't help but think about Bai Yingluo's dowry again, "Yesterday, your second aunt came back and said that the dowry I bought for you is almost ready. I asked Mama Zhao to check it out for you. Probably there will be no problem. When the date of marriage is fixed, grandma will add some farm shops for you, and our sister Luo will be able to get married in a good manner."

Bai Yingluo blushed, but there were crystal tears in her eyes.

Holding Old Madam Bai's arm, Bai Yingluo leaned her head on her shoulder as she did when she was a child, and whispered, "Grandpa and grandma are so tired that they bother Luo'er."

"Silly boy, what is this?"

In a low voice, the old lady Bai stroked Bai Yingluo's temple hair and said: "Good boy, remember what grandma said, the hardships or glory at this moment are just in front of you. When you are proud, don't lose your sense of proportion. When you are frustrated, don't hurt yourself." Heart and mind. Avoid arrogance and impetuosity, don't be surprised by favors or disgraces, when you get old, you will find that you have tasted all the ups and downs in your life, and it is not a waste of time to walk in this world."

Knowing that it was her own marriage, which made old lady Bai worry about herself, Bai Yingluo nodded and said, "Grandmother, don't worry. Luo'er doesn't think he came from a poor background, and he won't be blinded by the short-lived joys now. There is still a long way to go, Luo'er will earnestly live every day."

Seeing her thinking clearly, the old lady Bai was relieved, and asked with concern: "How is your embroidery work?"

When a girl gets married, the sheets and bedding she will use next to her body, as well as the new clothes that both men and women will wear within a month after they get married, are all made before the girl gets married. So many trivialities.

In addition to these, it is the wedding clothes to be worn on the big day.

Bai Yingluo nodded, and said shyly, "In addition to Luo'er's wedding dress, there are also his clothes. Wait until...it's settled, and then ask someone to ask him the size. When the time comes, it will be made in a few days, and then it will be ready." It can be done."

The old lady Bai smiled, raised her head and called Qiuwen to come in and ordered: "Tomorrow, you take someone to my small storeroom, take out all the bright red brocade fabrics, and send them to Miss Six."

Knowing that it was the old lady Bai's wedding dress for her, Bai Yingluo did not refuse, and thanked her grandmother tenderly.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but I got the news from Qing'an Hall. As soon as Old Madam Bai's cloth was delivered, Wang Hui's family brought the cloth for the wedding dress prepared by Mrs. Xue for Bai Yingluo.

Wang Hui's family spread the word: "Miss Six, this is the cloth prepared by the madam when the eldest lady got married. Although it is leftover, it was bought from Jiangnan by Tete. It is a real rare thing. You can buy it." Don't be disgusted."

Bai Yingluo took the tea from Tassel, handed it to Wang Hui's family affectionately, and replied with a smile, "It's too late to be grateful, so why would I hate it? My uncle and aunt love me, and I remember it in my heart."

After seeing off Wang Hui's family, Bai Yingluo returned to the house, and Liusu and the others had already spread the cloth on the table and looked closely.

They are also in vermilion color, on the pieces of brocade that the old lady Bai sent, embroidered with birds and phoenixes, it is perfect for wedding dresses.

And the brocade sent by Mrs. Xue is better than the fine pattern, one side is full of flowers and the other side is pomegranate flowers, the meaning is very good, for a while, the master and the servants feel a little difficult to choose.

"Let's put it away first, don't worry about it these few days, after choosing the style of the wedding dress, it won't be too late to choose the fabric."

Her face blushed against the beaming red, Bai Yingluo smiled and instructed Liusu.

It's not yet the twelfth lunar month, but the weather in the capital is getting colder every day.

Woke up early this day, opened the curtain of the house, and saw that the sky was full of frost outside, and the place where the eyes entered was even more snowy.

After exhaling lightly, a white mist appeared in front of him, and the fresh air blowing towards his face made people feel as if their hearts had opened up a bit.

When they arrived at Mingcuiju, Master Yao had already arrived.

"I have already gone to the Da Furen to answer the phone. After Laba, I will go back to my hometown. These days, I am afraid it will be the last time we can be together."

Said with some sentimentality, Master Yao looked at Bai Yingluo with some reluctance.

"Master, you..."

Although Master Yao had already told her about this matter, Bai Yingluo was still a little surprised when she mentioned it suddenly.

"There is always a banquet in the world. If there is fate, we will naturally have a chance to be together again in the future. And I firmly believe that we are destined, what do you think?"

Talking relaxedly, Master Yao deliberately eased the somewhat sad atmosphere.

Bai Yingluo nodded, and was about to speak when the sound of Bai Yinghuan and Bai Yinglan chasing and frolicking came from the yard, so Bai Yingluo stopped talking.

The feeling of reluctance lasted until Bai Yingluo returned to Lanxin Pavilion, and then it faded away.

There was a box in front of the brocade table, it looked brand new, one could tell it had just been bought, and Chen Xiang and Liu Su all had joyful surprises in their eyes, Bai Yingluo sized them up with some hesitation, stepped forward to reveal Opened the box.

Inside the box are neatly stacked silk and satin, pink and lake green, everything you need.

And on top, there are several bolts of scarlet silk.

Open it, the most common color of lovebirds.

"Who brought it?"

Bai Yingluo asked in surprise.

Chen Xiang, Bai Xiu and Liu Su Liu Ying looked at me, I looked at her, but no one answered, all of them looked at Bai Yingluo with smiles.

Bai Yingluo immediately came to her senses.

Her cheeks were warm, and Bai Yingluo looked at those clothes unnaturally, but her heart suddenly became sweet.

"Miss, Mr. Du sent someone to deliver this box, and there is a letter along with it."

Liuying said as she walked to the desk, took the envelope and handed it to Bai Yingluo.

Can't wait to open it and look at it, Bai Yingluo's face is full of surprise and joy, and her whole person suddenly becomes a little brighter.

After reading the letter, Bai Yingluo smiled and said, "These fabrics were given to him by His Highness the Crown Prince when he went to the Prince's Courtyard for a banquet today."

If it was a gift from the royal family, then this box of silks and satins was far more valuable than it actually was. Immediately, even the four of Chen Xiang showed joy.

"Miss, Mr. Du really has a heart..."

Chen Xiang praised.

Bai Yingluo nodded sweetly, and was about to answer when she heard the curtain of the room lifted, and Bai Yingyun's words came in so unexpectedly.

"Who cares?"

Looking around at the furnishings in the room and the expressions of the master and servants, Bai Yingyun raised her voice and asked.
