Glory all the way

Chapter 188
She was dressed in water-red double-breasted skirts, a moon-white pleated skirt, and only a few simple and elegant hairpins on her head. In the bronze mirror, such a white wreath was indescribably elegant and refined.

Du Xuan nodded in admiration, and stretched out his hand to Bai Yingluo.

The big hand held the small hand, and a heart seemed to be wrapped in his heart, and Bai Yingluo was very happy.

The two left the main room and walked slowly all the way, Liusu and Liuying who followed behind them smiled more and more happily, and the little maids were all full of joy.

After leaving the courtyard, Bai Yingluo stopped and turned her head.

On the plaque at the gate of the courtyard, there are three calm and introverted characters, "Yixin Garden".

"Yi Xin, Tong Yi Xin."

Du Xuan explained softly.

Do you mean wholeheartedly?

Bai Yingluo thought to herself, and her heart couldn't stop being sweet again.

Walking slowly along the way, the entrance is small and exquisite, the veranda is gentle and quiet, and there are many mountains and rocks. It looks like a small garden in the south of the Yangtze River, which makes Bai Yingluo feel slightly shocked.

"It was originally a mansion built for the eldest princess, but after the princess got married, she went to the fiefdom with her son-in-law, and the mansion was vacant. The emperor's grace is so great. The Holy Majesty rewarded me with this mansion, and I was really terrified. Ministry of Rites When I showed it to me with the blueprint, I was also taken aback, and entered the palace without any delay, but the emperor said, since the reward was given to me, I just want to live in it. If I can't refuse, I will Take it."

Du Xuan said as he walked.

"Thinking about it, the emperor is going to use you a lot, so if you get an errand in the future, you should do your duty and be loyal to the country with all your heart, which is not in vain of the emperor's love for you."

Bai Yingluo said in a soft voice.

Du Xuan smiled and nodded.

It was noon, and the group of people walked for a quarter of an hour before reaching the main hall of the front yard. There was already a thin layer of sweat on Bai Yingluo's forehead.

Entering the main hall, all the people who were sitting upright in the hall stood up, with a bit of panic on their faces.

For the folks in Baijiazhuang, Du Xuan won the first prize in the exam and has achieved today's achievements, and they are also honorable. Therefore, Du Xuan respects them and treats them as his relatives and elders, and they are not affected by it. too much.

But Bai Yingluo is the young lady of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, she has nothing to do with Baijiazhuang, and now she is the mistress of this mansion, with such a high status, when these country people see it, they can't help but feel humbled to the point of dirt When looking at Du Xuan, they were a little cowardly and nervous.

They got up early and wanted to say goodbye, but Du Xuan insisted on refusing, saying that they were all his elders, who had taken care of him for so many years, and when the bride came in, she should follow the Song Dynasty's custom and come to offer tea and recognize relatives.

The old Patriarch Bai hurriedly waved his hands, and the rest of the people shook their heads in disapproval.

How can the lady of the Jing'an Hou Mansion recognize them as relatives?If it is spread, people will not only laugh at the Jing'an Hou Mansion, but also laugh at them farmers who are not doing their duty.

But Du Xuan's attitude was very firm, he had inexplicable confidence in Bai Yingluo.He always felt that Bai Yingluo would respect the elders of Baijiazhuang just like him.

On the seats at the front of the two hands are the patriarchs of the old and young generations of Baijiazhuang. Beside them are old wives with stiff smiles. Their slightly bent backs reveal the innermost feelings of their hearts. panic.

Looking around, Bai Yingluo was stunned when she saw the second elder of the Bai family appearing behind her.

Bai Yingluo never dreamed that her parents from her previous life would appear here.

They also attended their own wedding reception?
She was so excited that she wanted to cry, but a trace of tears filled Bai Yingluo's eyes.

"Mother Luo..."

Noticing Bai Yingluo's abnormal state, Du Xuan whispered with some concern.

Bai Yingluo came back to her senses, suppressed the thin tears in her eyes, put on a bright smile, and said softly to everyone in the hall: "All uncles and aunts, sit down quickly."

Seeing everyone sitting down in trepidation, Bai Yingluo turned her head to look at Tassel, who nodded in response, then turned and went to the tea room next to the main hall.

Listening to Du Xuan and the folks in Baijiazhuang chatting about the field, Bai Yingluo looked at the two elders of the Bai family calmly, and saw that the complexion of the two was a little fairer than when they met on Dongdajie that winter. It also improved a lot, Bai Yingluo felt very relieved.

After a short while, Liu Su and Liu Ying came back, each holding a tray in their hands, on which were neatly placed a dozen or twenty teacups.

Bai Yingluo actually wanted to offer tea to them.

Although they are countrymen, they are all polite. When the son of the family marries a daughter-in-law, he has to serve tea to recognize his relatives the next day, but the people he waits for are not Du Xuan's relatives after all.

"Brother Xuan, this, this is against the rules, forget it. Let's talk and drink tea in a friendly manner, and treat it as seeing us off, okay?"

Patriarch Bai had been to the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, at the invitation of Old Master Bai, to discuss the marriage between Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo.

The old master Bai called Bai Yingluo to make tea, only then did the old master Bai really see that young lady clearly, she behaved well, advanced and retreated generously, Du Xuan was able to marry her, it was a blessing from his previous life.

But farmers are honest all their lives, and they should cherish their blessings. How can they do such a thing that is so insatiable?
After the old patriarch finished speaking, Bai Yingluo got up gracefully, smiled at him and said, "Old patriarch, since Yingluo has married Xuan Lang, she should respect and respect what he respects, and this cup of tea must be respected." .”

After finishing speaking, Bai Yingluo walked up to the old Patriarch Bai, and beside him, Tassel came over holding a tray.

Looking back at Du Xuan, Du Xuan hurriedly came over and introduced: "This is the old patriarch of Baijiazhuang. When I was in Baijiazhuang, I always called him 'Grandpa Bai'."

"Grandpa, please drink tea."

Bai Yingluo performed the blessing first, then got up, picked up a tea bowl, and handed it to him respectfully.

"I can't stand it..."

As early as when Bai Yingluo walked in front of him, the old patriarch Bai stood up in fear, took the tea, and kept talking, but Du Xuan helped him sit down with a gentle smile, "Grandpa Bai, you don't plan to admit My grandson?"

With a helpless smile, the old patriarch Bai sat down steadily, and while watching Bai Yingluo serving tea to the others, he repeatedly praised: "Wow, wow, brother Xuan married a good wife."

Pretending to be ignorant, she waited for Du Xuan to introduce them one by one. In fact, why did Bai Yingluo not remember them in her heart?

In the previous life, how could they treat themselves with unusual kindness?

Even the patriarch Bai, when he passed by the house on crutches and saw the young Luo Niang washing rice and cooking, would jokingly say: "Luo Niang, God's eyes are bright, not like your grandpa of the Bai family. I can’t even see clearly, you are a good boy, God will give you a good husband.”

At that time, Luo Niang always blushed and hid behind her mother, but whenever she picked sweet, delicious and overripe peaches and apricots from the tree, she would always take them to Grandpa Bai to taste. .

These people in front of him are relatives of Du Xuan, but they are all closer to him.

Thinking this way in her heart, Bai Yingluo respected her tea with [-]% respect. People who were full of fear saw that she was not pretending at all, it was all sincere from the heart, and immediately praised her full of praise. .

For a while, Bai Yingluo became a good daughter-in-law that is rare in the sky and even rarer in the earth, and Du Xuan, who was listening to it, was even sweeter to the bottom of her heart.

Soon, Du Xuan was in front of the second elder of the Bai family, but he hesitated, as if he didn't know how to introduce him.

Meeting Bai Yingluo's urging gaze, Du Xuan's heart sank, and he introduced, "Luo Niang, this is godfather, godmother."

"I dare not, I dare not..."

The old couple hurriedly stood up and shook their heads repeatedly. The aunt of the Bai family even pulled Bai Yingluo's sleeves and said, "Mother Luo, right? You can just call us uncle and aunt, but don't listen to brother Xuan's nonsense."

Feeling a little unruly, the aunt of the Bai family withdrew her hands, and there was nowhere to put her hands for a while, so she just swayed them in such a random way. On the side, the uncle of the Bai family echoed: "Yes, yes, just call me uncle and aunt. Dare to bark..."

"Xuan Lang?"

With some inexplicable excitement in her heart, Bai Yingluo looked at Du Xuan eagerly.

Du Xuan hesitated in embarrassment, and said in an explanatory way: "When I was in Baijiazhuang, my godfather and godmother took good care of me. Every time I went to rest at home and school, I stayed at his house. Later, they When I came to the capital, I was afraid that I would be ridiculed in the academy, so I often sewed and mended new clothes for me, so even Brother Jue called my brother affectionately. Luo Niang, I..."

Talking ramblingly, Du Xuan didn't know what exactly he wanted to say, and when he thought of what to say, there was a little panic in his eyes.

When he was in the house before, his anxiety was also because of the second elder of the Bai family, right?

Some were pleasantly surprised, but also some were complaining. In Bai Yingluo's heart, there were many things she wanted to say to him, and there were also some small accounts that she wanted to settle with him.

Pursing her lips and smiling, Bai Yingluo solemnly bowed to the elders of the Bai family, and handed the tea to the uncle of the Bai family: "Godfather, you use tea."

"Godmother, you use tea. From now on, Xuan Lang and I will honor our elders well."

Said softly, Bai Yingluo looked up at them and smiled sweetly at them.

The two seemed to be stunned, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time. Du Xuan gently tugged their sleeves, and the two of them came to their senses.

They seemed to be taken aback, they were supposed to take a sip of tea, but the two of them never drank it, they didn't even take off the lid of the tea bowl, they just held it tightly with both hands, as if they were afraid of accidentally falling to the ground and breaking it.

Going back to the first place to sit down again, the eyes of everyone looking at Bai Yingluo were not as frightened as before, and their smiles were more natural and easy-going.

"It's the time when the fields are busy, so Xuanlang and I won't stay with you any longer. We've prepared lunch, and after we've had a rest, we'll send the servants to take you back. We welcome you after the autumn harvest or when you're free." Come and play anytime, this is your home in the capital, treat it as if you were home, don't be polite to us."

Said politely, Bai Yingluo gave Du Xuan a sideways look like a demonstration: How dare you underestimate me?Hmph, wait and see how I deal with you when I get back to the house.

In Du Xuan's heart, he was very happy.
