Glory all the way

Chapter 184 Glory
"By God's fortune, the emperor ordered that Bai Yingluo, the daughter of the Marquis of Jing'an, is knowledgeable, sensible, and gentle, and has won the hearts of me and the queen. On this golden opportunity, I will marry Du Xuan, the champion of Jinke, and choose an auspicious day to get married. Yiying Etiquette is handled by the Ministry of Etiquette, hereby."

In the residence of the Marquis of Jing'an, a large group of people knelt down, and the eunuch Zhou Fu, the chief eunuch of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, announced the decree. Immediately, the Marquis of Jing'an took his family and thanked him for his kindness.

In the crowd, Bai Yingluo's expression was numb, as if she hadn't recovered.

Even old master Bai and old lady Bai looked at each other with puzzlement in their eyes.

After receiving the decree and respectfully placing it on the incense table, the Marquis of Jing'an stepped forward and stuffed the red envelope calmly, after a few rounds of circles, he led the people from the palace back to the palace.

Standing up and sitting down again, Bai Yingluo's eyes were already filled with tears, and the old lady Bai patted her hand lovingly and said, "My good boy, it's finally come to an end. Now, I can be considered worthy of your parents."

As he spoke, two lines of tears rolled down the old man's face, but he turned around and greeted Qiuwen and Qiuyue to prepare sacrifices, she was going to sit in Chenghuanju for a while.

Bai Yingyun's return home was originally a happy event in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, but at the end of the day, there was another big happy event of Bai Yingluo being given a marriage. Immediately, everyone in the whole house smiled, except for Bai Ying. The two sisters, Bai Yingyun and Bai Yingyun, had embarrassing expressions on their faces.

In order not to let Bai Yingluo overwhelm her in the marriage, she and her mother had to pay a lot of money before allowing her grandparents to betroth her to Du Xuan.I thought, that poor scholar is poor and poor, and the two of them can only rely on Bai Yingluo's dowry when they get married, how embarrassing it will be.

Who would have imagined that the poor scholar would have such a good fortune to win the first prize after leaping into the dragon's gate?
On the day when the list was announced, Bai Yingyun was nestled in the room, and she felt uncomfortable everywhere she looked. When it was announced that Du Xuan was going to be recruited as a son-in-law, Bai Yingyun was a little happy again.

In this way, it will be even more difficult for Bai Yingluo to say goodbye, right?

A 15-year-old lady with such a background, what kind of good family can she promise?
Imagining her grandfather and grandmother's worried and distressed faces, and Bai Yingluo's tears of grievance and self-pity, Bai Yingyun only felt that she could not express her hatred.

But this happiness has not lasted for a few days, how did things take such a turn for the worse?

Even his limelight was taken away by that dead girl and that poor marriage for no reason?

The anger and aggrievedness in her heart made Bai Yingyun wish to lift the round table in front of her with dishes, but she knew that if she did this, it would take less than a quarter of an hour for the ugly words to fly away as if they had grown wings. At that time, not to mention the Jingan Hou Mansion, even other families in the capital will know about it. At that time, not to mention the Second Household, even the Su Mansion will lose face.

Holding back the anger in her heart, Bai Yingyun's body trembled slightly, but no one noticed her, not even her husband-in-law Su Wenyuan.

Su Wenyuan leaned over excitedly and whispered in Bai Yingyun's ear, "With such a brother-in-law, I will make good friends in the future."

Looking up at Su Wenyuan's happy face, Bai Yingyun felt an indescribable disgust in her heart.

They are also literati, shouldn't they be a little bit arrogant?
Shouting that she was not feeling well, Bai Yingyun almost ran away, dragging Su Wenyuan out of the house.

On the second day, two adults from the Ministry of Rituals came over with the gift list.

In Qing'an Hall, Old Master Bai handed the booklet in his hand to Old Madam Bai, raised his head and said to the two adults: "Master Su, Mr. Liu, isn't the wedding date a little rushed?"

The Ministry of Rites also sent the dates selected by Qin Tianjian, one on the eighth day of May and the other on the twelfth day of May. Although they were both good days, it took less than two months to marry a daughter like this. A little hasty.

Old Mrs. Bai had another doubt in his heart.

For a while, it was rumored in the capital that Du Xuan wanted to marry Princess Shang. The sudden decree from Emperor Jiayuan made everyone puzzled, and the wedding date was so close, Old Master Bai was naturally a little nervous.

Master Su smiled, "Yesterday, the sage issued an order, and the official went to ask Zhuang Yuangong what he meant. He said, if your two elders agree, he naturally hopes that the sooner the better. Therefore, the official then went to Qintian The prison invited the fastest two good days, if you and the old lady feel that it is a bit rushed, you can say that in a month, I will go back and ask the Lord Qin Tianjian to count the good days."

Seeing that it was Du Xuan's intention, Old Master Bai was relieved, but he became more and more suspicious in his heart.

Another Mr. Liu saw it and guessed what the old man was thinking, and praised him like he was puzzled: "It's really courageous to say that this champion is so brave. I knelt in the imperial study room for noon yesterday, if it wasn't for the empress With a kind heart, he may have already been dragged out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded for public display for the crime of 'offending the superior and deceiving the superior'."

The following offense, of course, is Du Xuan's unwillingness to Shang Princess.

If you bully the emperor, it means that Du Xuan disrespects the emperor's order.

The old master Bai and the old lady Bai looked at each other, and now they were completely relieved.

Instructing Qiu Wen to go to the study to bring his old almanac, the old master Bai looked through and compared the two days, and finally decided to say: "In that case, let's fix the twelfth of May. Please both adults It's..."

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

With refusals in their mouths, the two discussed some details with Old Master Bai for a while, then got up and left Qing'an Hall.

Later, Bai Yingluo learned the reason for this.

She thought that he didn't care about her at all when he got rich. She didn't know that he made such a shocking move under tremendous pressure. Didn't he know that if he was not careful, he would take his own life?

what a fool...

Thinking coquettishly, Bai Yingluo burst into tears. The grievances and bitterness accumulated in her heart these days can be regarded as exhausted, and she has no more complaints towards him.

After crying to her heart's content, after washing and washing, even though her makeup was exquisite, she could still see her red and swollen eyelids. Bai Yingluo dawdled for a long time before heading to Qing'an Hall.

Still failed to escape the eyes of old master Bai and old lady Bai.

"Silly boy, if you feel wronged in your heart, naturally you should come and tell us, why don't you just put it in your stomach and let yourself be wronged like this?"

The old lady Bai said lovingly, and told her the date set by the old master Bai and the Ministry of Rites, "It's been less than two months, although your dowry is ready, but this time, Du Xuan is the number one scholar." Now, it is the marriage bestowed by the Holy God, so naturally I need to buy some more. Don't worry, your grandparents will let you get married in a good manner. You, just be obedient, eat and sleep, and look good , to be your bride with peace of mind, do you understand?"

Bai Yingluo nodded shyly.

Back at Lanxin Pavilion, Liusu and Liuying had prepared things according to Bai Yingluo's instructions before leaving, and the master and servant went to the main room of Chenghuan's residence.

Kneeling there and chattering, smiling when happy, tears like beads when sad, Bai Yingluo acted like a little girl in front of them.

The days that followed were as peaceful as before.

After the Qingming Festival, it was approaching the Dragon Boat Festival, and since it was the New Year's Eve and Bai Yingluo was about to get married, the residence of the Marquis of Jing'an was full of hustle and bustle.

With the gift of marriage first, the standard of Bai Yingluo's marriage has to be raised, even surpassing the extravagance of Bai Yingping's marriage in the past.

Mrs. Xue handled it personally, and took over the dowry prepared by the second wife and checked it carefully. If there was something inappropriate, Mrs. Xue didn't bother to argue with the second wife, so she simply went out of the big room and made up all of it. , Can be ready before the Dragon Boat Festival.

In a few days, several old stewards from several villages in the suburbs of Beijing came back, and at the wish of the old lady, they brought over the dowry she secretly prepared for Bai Yingluo.

Old lady Bai is the most careless person, even when Bai Yingping got married, she ignored the dowry prepared by Marquis Jing'an and Mrs. Xue for her daughter, and before she got married, old lady Bai also gave a share with her own body, which was heavy and luxurious and not inferior at all. Yu Jing'an Hou and Xue Shi.

Therefore, when the dowry that old lady Bai had prepared for Bai Yingluo was brought out, the second room was envious and jealous, and the fourth room was planning to make Miss Jiu get closer to old lady Bai and old lady Bai, while the eldest room remained indifferent, as if It feels normal, not stingy at all.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Jing'an Marquis Mansion was full of guests. During the luncheon, the Empress took advantage of the festival to give Bai Yingluo a generous gift. At that time, everyone in the capital knew that Du Xuan fell into the eyes of Emperor Jiayuan, and Bai Yingluo is the celebrity in front of the empress.

Everyone was extremely envious of the encounter between these two people.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, there are only a few days left before leaving the pavilion, and these days, Bai Yingluo is especially clinging to old lady Bai.

When she got up early, before the old lady Bai got up, Bai Yingluo arrived, helped her change her clothes, had breakfast, and then accompanied the elders to the backyard for a walk.

Only when she was not in Qing'an Hall during lunch break and sleeping at night, at other times, Bai Yingluo never left her side for a moment. The old master Bai and the old lady Bai watched, feeling relieved and helpless.

If the third son and daughter-in-law are still there, right now, Bai Yingluo is obsessing over the two of them?

However, she was reluctant to give up, why was there not endless sadness in the hearts of the two old people?
"There are no elders in Du Xuan's family, so there are not so many rules. Zhuangyuan's mansion is very close to the mansion. If you miss us, just come back and live for a few days, huh?"

Holding Bai Yingluo in her arms, the old lady Bai whispered in her ear.

There was a layer of warmth in her eyes in an instant, and Bai Yingluo buried her head in her grandmother's arms, smelling the familiar and kind sandalwood scent on her body, and nodded heavily.

The always cheerful old man Bai saw this scene, his eyes became moist immediately. Hearing that someone outside had heard that Du Xuan was coming, the old man Bai coughed lightly, got up and went out, "I have to teach this brat a lesson. , if you dare to bully Sister Luo, see how I deal with him."

The old lady Bai's words immediately made the old lady Bai and Bai Yingluo, who were immersed in a sentimental atmosphere, laugh.

In a blink of an eye, it was the right day.
