Glory all the way

Chapter 172
"I don't have enough money for you on weekdays, so why are you asking Mother for money? Tell me, what do you want to buy, and Mother will buy it for you..."

In Qiu Ranxuan, the second lady carefully checked Bai Yingyun's dowry list, and said without raising her head.

After a long time, seeing Bai Yingyun remained silent, the second wife raised her head and looked at her daughter suspiciously.

"mother……"

Calling softly, Bai Yingyun came over and snuggled up to her mother, and said the words she had already thought up, "Mother, the cousin from the Liu family is about to leave the court, and the sixth younger sister is going to put on makeup for her in a few days, so she invited me to come with her." Well, mother, you also know that now grandpa and grandma hold the sixth sister in the palm of their hands and it hurts. If my courtesy is not good and grandma finds out, she will be unhappy again. But those things in my hand are all your mother It’s for me, I’m not willing to give it to her, so I plan to go to the shop to choose something.”

Seeing that the second lady didn't seem suspicious, Bai Yingyun continued: "Also, Mrs. Yao, who is a boudoir student, has already resigned in front of my aunt. She is leaving after coming to Laba. She teaches her daughter. The relationship between teachers and students is here. , I’m not too shabby as a farewell gift, am I?”

Glancing at her mother out of the corner of her eyes, Bai Yingyun muttered angrily: "It is said that she is the lady of the Professor Hou's residence. I saw that the master seemed to be specially invited for the sixth sister. Mother, otherwise, I will not be with the sixth younger sister." Together with the gift, the left and right grandmothers and eldest aunts will seal it up and give it to her."

"You, there are always a few tendons in your head..."

Angrily gouged out Bai Yingyun's finger, and the second lady scolded, "How much your grandmother and aunt give to Master Yao is for the dignity of our Jing'an Hou Mansion. Besides, they don't take that little money to heart, don't they?" But if you don’t give it, it’s another matter. Master Yao was such a famous person in the past, why has he stayed in our Hou’s mansion for so many years? In the deep house compound of the Hou’s mansion, what she said has some weight , is not much different from that Nanny Hua who came out of the front palace."

Dotingly pinched the tip of Bai Yingyun's nose, the second madam made some calculations in her heart, and estimated, "Master Yao has been in the Hou's residence for many years, but he has not only taught you and the sixth girl, your eldest sister and second sister, don't you all know?" Did she teach it? In the past, before your second sister got married, she prepared a gift of 60 taels of silver for her, so let's do it, you just prepare according to your second sister's specifications."

Bai Yingyun nodded happily, and stretched out her hand in front of the second lady, "Mother, what should I say, you have to give your daughter 100 taels of silver, too? When I go to the jewelry store, maybe I will buy something together." .”

"You, you are the demonic obstacle of my mother's fate..."

With a soft voice, the second lady shook her head helplessly, got up and went to the inner room, took a 100 tael silver note, and handed it to Bai Yingyun when she came back. Go back to Yunshui Pavilion.

The thank you gift for Master Yao is something to be prepared. Adding makeup to Liu Ruomei is also a real thing. Bai Yingyun originally thought that it would be a little bit to beg from her mother, but unexpectedly, it was as much as 100 taels.

Calling the magpie over, Bai Yingyun raised her voice and said: "Go to the second brother and tell me what he asked me for, and I will accept it. When you get to me, he will come to me and take it."

The magpie nodded, and called the happy geese to come in to serve her, then turned around and went to Bai Jinju's house.

After a cup of tea, the magpie came back, said that Bai Jin had won the letter, seemed happy for something, and thanked Bai Yingyun many times.

After replying, Magpie said another thing, "Miss, the Dou Mansion sent a message, please go to the mansion with Miss Six for a banquet."

"Dou Mansion?"

Dazed for a moment, Bai Yingyun immediately thought it was Dou Xiuqiao, looked up at the magpie and asked, "But what's the happy event for the Dou family? Is the post from Mrs. Dou, or Miss Dou?"

"It was sent by Miss Dou."

After answering, Magpie laughed in a low voice and said: "The residence of Dou and the residence of the Great General Zhenyuan have made a marriage agreement. Miss Dou will get married in June next year. No, a small engagement was just made a few days ago. However, the reason for this banquet is that Laba is coming soon, and Ms. Dou invites the young ladies who have been friends with her in the past to go to Dou's mansion to enjoy the plum blossoms."

"The Mansion of General Zhenyuan..."

Sighing in a low voice, Bai Yingyun's face showed a bit of disappointment.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is not as noble as Jing'an Hou's Mansion, but since Dou Xiuzhu married into the East Palace and became a princess, the Dou Mansion has suddenly become popular in the capital.

You know, if it was still the former prime minister's mansion, how could Dou Xiuqiao have such a good marriage and be able to marry into the Zhenyuan General's mansion?

Bai Yingyun couldn't help remembering that when the wives gathered together to talk, when they mentioned the general of Zhenyuan, Fang Qishan, they all looked forward to it, and jokingly said that they don't know whose family's young lady will be lucky enough to marry into Fang's family in the future.

Fang Qishan has the merits of being a dragon. After Emperor Jiayuan ascended the throne, he became the leader of the fourth-rank deputy Xiaoqi, and became the commander of the second-rank guard army. Now the powerful general Zhenyuan is stationed in Monan all the year round.

Fang Qishan has only one son, Fang Congjiang, who is now serving in the army. It is said that although he is young, he is also a fierce general, brave and good at fighting.

Although Fang Congjiang is talented, he has been with Fang Qishan many times through life and death. Last year, the Holy One was sympathetic to Fang Qishan. He was afraid that his only son would die in the battlefield, so he issued an order of kindness to transfer Fang Congjiang to the capital to serve as a It's about commanding.

, the official residence is the fourth grade, it can be regarded as young and promising.

I can't blame Bai Yingyun for being so unfair.

"Miss, after a while, Da Furen should send someone to ask, do you want to go?"

Immersed in her own thoughts and did not come back to her senses, Bai Yingyun heard the inquiry of a magpie.

Hearing this, Bai Yingyun showed a self-deprecating wry smile on her face, "In the eyes of my aunt, Sixth Sister is sensible and well-behaved. Naturally, she would send someone to ask Sixth Sister first. Why would she ask me first?"

As soon as the words were finished, the voices of little maidservants greeting Gu Xiang came from the courtyard.

Bai Yingyun smiled, got up and walked out from the back room.

"Fifth Miss, the Second Miss of the Dou Mansion has sent an invitation. Please go to the mansion with Fifth Miss to enjoy the plum blossoms. Madam sent me to ask what you mean."

Gu Xiang saluted, got up and said.

"Can the sixth sister go?"

Bai Yingyun didn't answer the question instead.

Gu Xiang was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said: "Ding Lan went to Lanxin Pavilion to deliver a message, and she went out at the same time as the maidservant. As for Miss Six's response, I won't know until the maidservant returns."

Seeing that she had guessed wrong, Bai Yingyun's face was a little embarrassing.

Bowing her head and pondering for a while, Bai Yingyun thought that she had a good conversation with Dou Xiuqiao when she went to Dou Mansion last time, and the marriage between Bai Yingluo and that poor scholar was such a good topic, she would definitely be able to chat with Dou Xiuqiao. Thinking of this, Bai Yingyun He raised his head and replied: "After all, it was an invitation from the Prime Minister's Office. Now that the Prime Minister's Office is in the limelight, it would look bad if I refused. Well, I'll go, and I'll trouble Sister Gu Xiang to report back."

"Yes, the servant girl will go back and return."

Gu Xiang went away in response.

Early the next morning, Bai Yingyun went to Dou Mansion alone with her mother-in-law and maidservants.

Seeing Dou Xiuqiao, and seeing that she really treated her a little more kindly than others, Bai Yingyun was secretly proud of herself, and she became even more enthusiastic, and she brought out all the embarrassing things that happened to Bai Yingluo when she was a child. Over and over again, coaxing Dou Xiuqiao to be extremely happy.

In the backyard of Dou’s mansion, plum blossoms are fragrant. The girls found a good friend. They were in groups of three and five, chatting and laughing happily. Dou Xiuqiao dragged Bai Yingyun to a secluded place and asked curiously: “ I heard that Miss Bai Liu's marriage has already been decided, but she didn't announce it in front of outsiders, is there such a thing?"

Before she could say anything, Dou Xiuqiao asked, which caught Bai Yingyun's heart.

After looking around for a few times, Bai Yingyun turned her head and nodded, and told Dou Xiuqiao about Du Xuan.

Concealing Du Xuan's handsome appearance and real talents, and exaggerating his poor background and embarrassing situation, Bai Yingyun sighed with some regret: "I don't know what my grandparents like about him. Sixth Sister is anyway. The daughter of the concubine of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, betrothed to him, isn't that putting flowers in..."

Feeling that the words were a bit indecent, Bai Yingyun stopped her mouth suddenly, and peeped to see that Dou Xiuqiao had an uncontrollable joy on her face.

From reading with the six princesses together, to being inferior to Bai Yingluo in everything, to spreading the reputation of "Shuangshu in the capital", Dou Xiuqiao has always kept a comparison in her heart.

Now knowing that Bai Yingluo has obtained such a marriage, the two of them will have the opportunity to appear in front of people together in the future, and Bai Yingluo cannot be compared with herself.

Thinking of this, Dou Xiuqiao couldn't help feeling complacent.

Looking back, Dou Xiuqiao felt that Du Xuan's name seemed very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere, and after thinking about it for a long time, she asked in amazement: "It's the Du Xuan who is famous for his writing and has been praised by the Holy Spirit, Qingsong Academy that?"

With an embarrassing expression on her face, Bai Yingyun tried to make amends by saying, "That person is used to playing tricks on the surface, even my grandfather and uncle are coaxed by him. God knows, I'll try next year, will he be on the list?"

Thinking about it, Dou Xiuqiao left Du Xuan behind, covered the smug smile on her face, and sighed softly: "So, Miss Bai Liu's future situation is really like what you said. so pathetic."

After finishing speaking, Dou Xiuqiao turned her head to look at Bai Yingyun and said, "She didn't come today, and I didn't have a chance to talk to her, so I will trouble you to bring me a word for her."

"Miss Dou, please tell me."

Knowing that it must not be a good word, Bai Yingyun was very happy to see Bai Yingluo make a fool of herself, and even showed a little bit of joy.

"After all, I used to be a classmate. Now, she has such a marriage. I feel sorry for her. If there is any difficulty in the future, let her come to me. As long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse."

Dou Xiuqiao said in a considerate manner, the corners of her eyes and brows were full of joy and joy.

When hearing Dou Xiuqiao's words, it was already afternoon, and Bai Yingluo was planning to take a nap.

Seeing that Bai Yingyun's eyes were full of pity, Bai Yingluo didn't care.

"Oh, I see. I'll see Miss Dou next time. Fifth sister, help me thank her for her kindness."

As Bai Yingluo spoke, she yawned sleepily, and looked at Bai Yingyun bewilderedly, as if asking her when she was leaving, so don't delay her nap.

The original passion for watching the show was immediately quenched by Bai Yingluo's indifferent appearance, and Bai Yingyun rolled her eyes angrily.
