Glory all the way

Chapter 192 Portal
When he got up again the next day, Du Xuan was no longer awkward as yesterday, Bai Yingluo looked at her and felt a little happy.

In the yard of Yixinyuan, there is a moon gate near the right hand side. After the moon gate, there is a small open space. After a long walk, it is the place where Bai Yingluo plans to build grape trellises and swings.

There was nothing left or right, Bai Yingluo and Du Xuan were discussing about planting vegetables in that small open space.

After hearing this, Du Xuan felt that Bai Yingluo was talking about it for fun, how could she grow any vegetables, but she was very happy on the face, the two of them found a pair of old clothes to change into, rolled up their sleeves and went to work .

Du Xuan insisted not to let Bai Yingluo do the heavy work. He picked up the hoe and plowed the ground, creating five fine rows of ridges.

The weather in mid-May was already very hot. After a while, sweat oozed from Du Xuan's forehead and slid down his neck, even his collar was wet.

Seeing him sweating profusely but with a down-to-earth smile on his face, Bai Yingluo stood on the edge of the ground and watched, feeling very satisfied.

After making all the preparations, it was time for lunch, but Bai Yingluo didn't do anything.

Annoyed and dragged back to the house by Du Xuan, Bai Yingluo muttered, "Obviously I came up with the solution."

"Your hands should be delicate and tender. Just do embroidery or something. How can I let you dig the ground with a hoe? I'll teach you when you get up early to sow seeds tomorrow. Let's..."

Du Xuan said with a bright smile.

Bai Yingluo pursed her lips and smiled, nodding in response.

After entering the room to wash and wash, Bai Yingluo had just ordered the servant girl to serve meals when she saw Suiyuan striding towards her from the courtyard gate.

Suiyuan was brought by Bai Yingluo from the Marquis Mansion. It was the son of one of the housekeepers given to her by the old lady Bai. After observing him for a few days, I saw that he was very smart in doing things, and he didn't like to talk too much. After the palace, Bai Yingluo gave him to Du Xuan to be Du Xuan's servant.

"Young master, madam, a senior official from the official department came to the front yard and said that he came to deliver the appointment papers to the young master."

Suiyuan entered the room and saw clearly where Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo were, and bowed his head before meeting Li and answering.

Du Xuan waved his hand and took Suiyuan out.

It took half an hour for Du Xuan to come back.

Compiled by the Imperial Academy, from the sixth rank.

After reading the document handed over by Du Xuan, Bai Yingluo put it away with a smile, and turned to ask him, "Have you finished? When will you report to the Imperial Academy?"

Du Xuan smiled and said: "The boss is kind, knowing that I am newly married, he gave me a seven-day vacation, and I will report on May [-]."

I can still stay at home with Bai Yingluo for two days.

Bai Yingluo tilted her head and pondered for a moment, then said solemnly: "Before you go to the yamen, I have ordered the seeds for all the vegetables to be planted. From now on, I will cook by myself."

I really want to grow vegetables, not just talking about it on a whim.

Seeing Du Xuan was stunned for a moment, Bai Yingluo immediately knew what he was thinking, and gave him an angry look, "When I was in the Hou Mansion, I often planted flowers and weeds with the old man in the greenhouse, planting some cucumbers, radishes, etc. It's not a difficult task, no matter how bad it is, there is still a woman who is good at these things in the mansion, can it still make it difficult for me?"

"as long as you are happy."

Smiling and scratching her nose, Du Xuan got up and held her hand, and the two went to have lunch.

On the morning of the [-]th, thinking that this was Du Xuan's first day to report, he always wanted to impress his superiors and colleagues, and Bai Yingluo would wake him up before dawn.

But the night before Du Xuan dragged her into trouble until very late, now Du Xuan is refreshed, but Bai Yingluo is sleepy and yawning.

With a chuckle, Du Xuan stopped her and pecked her on the lips, "There are not so many rules, as long as you fall asleep. I get up and have breakfast to go to the yamen by myself, and I don't need you to accompany me."

Bai Yingluo only remembered muttering to herself, "I want to set rules for the house, otherwise how about following me and becoming lazy?"

But the next moment, she lost consciousness.

It's time to get up again.

Staring at Chen Xiang and the others resentfully, Bai Yingluo was angry all morning, while Chen Xiang and the others lowered their heads and held back their laughter.

Bai Yingluo had given them instructions the day before, and from the second day onwards she was going to establish rules in the mansion, and told them to wake her up earlier.

But after Du Xuan got up early, he ordered her not to be called. Du Xuan is the son-in-law and the master of the Zhuangyuan Mansion, so the maids must obey his words.

Bai Yingluo knew that if she asked, Chen Xiang and the others would definitely bring Du Xuan out without fear, so she could only sulk secretly like this, but her heart was sweet.

After breakfast, Bai Yingluo calmed down, and when she went for a walk in the courtyard, Bai Yingluo instructed Chen Xiang: "Order, all the stewards and maidservants, except for the gatekeepers everywhere, will be there tomorrow morning. Click on Shu Yuxuan."

"Yes, servant girl, remember, I will definitely not miss my wife's business tomorrow morning."

Chen Xiang replied seriously.

When she was resting at night, Bai Yingluo solemnly ordered Liusu to fetch two quilts and spread them on the bed, while Du Xuan watched from the side and laughed in a muffled voice.

When she got up early, she was still under the same quilt, and Bai Yingluo was helpless.

After sending Du Xuan to the second gate, Bai Yingluo turned back and went straight to Shu Yuxuan.

After Bai Yingluo got married, Xue Shi gave some extra money, but didn't give it to the companion. Presumably, it was because she was afraid that the person who gave it would not suit Bai Yingluo's wishes.

For this, Bai Yingluo was very grateful.

When they entered Shu Yuxuan, there were already crowds of people inside, but it was rare that there was no disturbance. Bai Yingluo glanced over, and everyone fell silent.

Those unfamiliar people were probably sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the palace.

Hesitating in her heart when those people would go back, Bai Yingluo calmly called a group of people to ask about their respective errands. The details were extremely detailed. Mark a few words.

Feeling uneasy, after a while, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who spoke again became more respectful.

It took more than an hour to count the servants in the mansion. Except for the 38 people sent by the House of Internal Affairs and the palace, there were a total of 120 people on errands from the Zhuangyuan Mansion.

120 for six people, the monthly expenses for these servants are probably more than a hundred taels.

Thinking secretly in her heart, Bai Yingluo looked up at the crowd and said, "Today is our first official meeting in the Zhuangyuan's mansion. The population in the mansion is simple, so how can we handle the errands well after taking over these few days? You also know it in your heart. If you have any questions, you can bring them up now. If you don’t have any, you will click here every three days. If anyone has any questions during these three days, you can go to Yixinyuan to find me. But still Is there a problem?"

Thinking of Bai Yingluo's delicate inner house lady, her parents died young, and no one taught her how to deal with trivial matters, everyone was a little hesitant in their hearts, but seeing her calm and composed at this moment, they divided everything up. All the doubts that followed disappeared, and he promised in a deep voice.

Bai Yingluo waved her hand, and those people all filed out of Shu Yuxuan.

The hall suddenly brightened up, Bai Yingluo sized up the 30 people in front of her, and asked hesitantly, "Among you, is there anyone in charge?"

Immediately, the two took a step forward.

The middle-aged man knelt down and kowtowed, stood up and answered, "Little Raoping brought a total of 26 people from the House of Internal Affairs to serve as errands. Eunuch Zhao said that when everything is in order in the house, the younger ones can go back and report to you."

Bai Yingluo nodded, her face softened, "In that case, you can go back to the palace tomorrow, and when you see Eunuch Zhao, please thank him for me."

After finishing speaking, Bai Yingluo looked back at Chen Xiang, Chen Xiang stepped forward and handed two brocade bags containing silver ingots to Rao Ping.

After Rao Ping retreated with those 25 people, there were only twelve people left in Shuyuxuan. The old woman who just took a step forward replied with a lifeless expression on her face: "The old slave's surname Chang, it belongs to Jingren Palace, and the maids and eunuchs in the palace call this old slave "Nurse Chang."

Jingren Palace is the palace of Concubine Hui.

I thought it was someone sent by the empress, but I didn't know that it was from Jingren Palace. Bai Yingluo didn't realize it for a while, and Mother Chang said again: "The empress Hui has the right to assist the six palaces. There are a lot of chores in the harem, and the empress can't take care of such trivial matters, so the concubine Hui will do it for her. That's why the old slave and others came to help. If Madam allows, the old slave wants to go back to the palace today, please Concubine Hui shows me to see when the old servant and others will return to Jingren Palace to return to their orders."

"That being the case, then I will order someone to prepare a carriage for you."

Seeing her old face without a trace of a smile on her face, Bai Yingluo knew that they might have been treated with contempt in the past few days since they were married, and these people, who believed that they were honored by their master, had never received such a cold treatment before. , This time when I go back, I am afraid that I will sue in front of Concubine Hui and give myself eye drops.

After saying that, Bai Yingluo got up and went out.

Nanny Chang stood there calmly, but the anger in her heart became even stronger.

In Bai Yingluo's heart, since they were sent by Concubine Hui, they should do what servants should do and just return to the palace honestly.

But in the eyes of Nanny Chang and others, Bai Yingluo avoided seeing them these days, but she deliberately showed her face to them and didn't take them seriously.

Bai Yingluo's back gradually faded away, and the Shuyu Pavilion immediately became buzzing with chatter, and Nanny Chang glanced at her, and those people immediately fell silent.

Nanny Chang glanced back at Bai Yingluo's graceful figure, sneered, turned and went out the door.

In the afternoon, a black horse-drawn carriage drove out from the back door of Zhuangyuan's mansion and arrived at the gate of the palace. The curtain of the carriage was raised, and the guards guarding the gate saw that Nanny Chang had shown the palace badge of Jingren Palace, so they quickly moved out of the way.

In Jingren Palace, Concubine Hui, who was dressed in a lake-green palace attire and had a weak complexion, smiled instead of anger after hearing Nanny Chang's angry words, "You mean, a wild girl with no skills and no rules, Just relying on the love of the old master and the old lady of the Bai family, you forcibly snatched the good marriage of the seventh princess?"

Nanny Chang lowered her head and replied respectfully: "Master, that's exactly the case. Ever since she married into the Zhuangyuan's Mansion, the young lady in Jing'an Hou's Mansion has slept until the sun rises every day."

The smile on Concubine Hui's face became softer, and Nanny Chang felt elated when she saw it.
