Glory all the way

Chapter 199
In the early morning of the second day, until the third quarter of the hour, Nanny Chang and Nanny Dou hadn't appeared yet.

"Won't there be another moth?"

Liu Ying muttered in a low voice.

Just as Bai Yingluo was about to speak, the little maid outside the door announced that Mother Dou had arrived.

Liu Ying shrank her neck, Bai Yingluo responded with a smile, the curtain was lifted, and Aunt Dou walked in alone.

"Ma'am, Nanny Chang is not feeling well. She had a fever when she got up early. The old slave went to the kitchen and asked for a bowl of ginger soup to feed her. Therefore, I can't serve Madam today. I hope Madam will forgive me."

Aunt Dou said respectfully.

Bai Yingluo raised her eyebrows slightly, and met Nanny Dou's calm gaze, paused for a moment, Bai Yingluo understood a little bit.

The smile became softer, and Bai Yingluo didn't ask the doctor's words, but ordered Liusu and Liuying to prepare some daily supplements, and handed them to Aunt Dou, "Maybe I'm tired from working too hard these days, but it's my fault." That being the case, let Aunt Chang not worry about coming to work, it is important to keep healthy. I will send two little maids there in a while, just to serve Aunt Chang and Aunt Dou. Let them eat whatever they want The kitchen said yes."

Aunt Dou nodded yes, and Bai Yingluo continued: "When people are old, they are most afraid of being lonely. These days when Aunt Chang is not feeling well, Aunt Dou can stay by the side and talk or something. Just treat it as a companion. If there is anything missing, just let the little maid come and go."

"Madam is kindhearted and kind. This old servant thanked Madam Chang on behalf of Mother Chang. This old servant will leave."

After finishing what she had to say, Aunt Dou returned to the narrow courtyard room with two little maids carrying supplements.

In the room, Nanny Chang was a little restless, she would open the door to go out to have a look from time to time, when she heard several people coming this way, Nanny Chang hurriedly walked back to the bed, took off her shoes and lay down Under the quilt, he panted with a look of discomfort.

Bringing the two little maids into the house, Aunt Dou came over and sat on the side of the bed. The two little maids didn't talk too much. After seeing Li, they said their names, and quickly went to the kitchen with a box of supplements. One rolled up his sleeves and went out with a tub in his hand. After a while, the room became quiet.

"How about it, am I right? Mrs. Zhuangyuan is a clever person. There is nothing she can't figure out. You, just feel at ease. You should eat and drink every day, and go back to the palace when the time comes. , maybe we can still get a red envelope, isn't it easier than standing with you all day every day?"

Aunt Dou smiled, and walked up to open the pile of supplements on the table for Aunt Chang to have a look at. In addition to warm things such as white fungus rock candy and pastries, one of the paper bags actually contained dried fruits such as melon seeds and peanuts. It is most suitable for chatting and bickering in leisure time.

Aunt Dou weighed it in her hand and showed it to Aunt Chang, she lowered her head and smiled secretly.

From that day on, Nanny Dou and Nanny Chang did not appear in front of Bai Yingluo for three days. Afterwards, the two of them got up early and went to Yixin Garden to greet Bai Yingluo, thanked her for her sympathy, and retired in a polite manner. After getting off, the two of them came to say hello after Du Xuan came back in the evening. At other times, they stayed in the narrow courtyard room, basking in the sun, drinking tea and chatting.

They don't have to deal with their master cautiously and meticulously, without the care and heaviness of intrigue, and Nanny Chang and Nanny Dou's life has never been more comfortable. They jokingly said that if they can live like this for a lifetime, they will be content.

On Bai Yingluo's side, without Nanny Chang and Mother Dou standing in front of her with slumped faces like wooden stakes, she was much more casual than before when she wanted to sit crookedly, want to chat and laugh with Chen Xiang and the others.

"When I came back from the palace, I didn't expect her to be enlightened, which saved me a lot of effort."

In the evening when Du Xuan came back from the Hanlin Academy, Aunt Chang and Aunt Chang saw the ceremony and withdrew, Bai Yingluo said while helping Du Xuan change his clothes.

"Then Nanny Chang is not knowledgeable, but Nanny Dou is smart only on the face. I have asked, although she is a distant relative of the Dou family, but she has been in the palace for decades, but she is a little I didn't reveal it, but I just did my own errands, and when I was old, I was released from the palace and went back to my hometown to enjoy the blessings. Therefore, she must have persuaded her, otherwise, that old antique would not know how stubborn he is. when."

Said jokingly, Du Xuan turned his head again, and saw Bai Yingluo pursing her lips and smiling happily, like a little mouse who has succeeded in stealing oil, his heart was hot, and he was caught off guard, and hugged her up.

Bai Yingluo cried out softly.

In the inner room, Chen Xiang and the others hurriedly put down their work and turned around to go out.

After a while, the inner room became quiet.

Hearing Du Xuan calling for people, Chen Xiang and the others entered the room, and saw Bai Yingluo sitting in front of the dressing table with blushing cheeks and disheveled hair, while Du Xuan was sitting on the side of the bed watching with a smile on his face.

The four eyes met, Du Xuan smiled openly, while Bai Yingluo gave him a coquettish sideways glance, her eyes rolled, indescribably beautiful and moving.

Pretending not to see, Chen Xiang and the others were busy serving meals, Bai Yingluo and Du Xuan got up to wash their hands, before they picked up the bowl, they heard hurried footsteps in the courtyard.

"Ma'am, Master Yao has arrived. She said it was too late and she insisted not to come to Zhuangyuan's mansion, so I put her in the Yongfu Inn on the street in front of the alley. Master Yao said that tomorrow morning I will come to the mansion to see Madam."

Outside the curtain, the steward raised his voice and replied.

"How does this work?"

Putting down the bowl quickly, Bai Yingluo was about to change clothes and go out, Du Xuan patted her hand, "You ask the kitchen to add some food, wait at home, I will pick it up in person, be sure to bring Master Yao back, okay? "

After all, Du Xuan got up and went out.

Master Yao went back to his hometown after the end of Laba last year. Based on this calculation, the two have not seen each other for half a year. However, in Bai Yingluo's cage, there is a set of bright red double-sided embroidered pillow towel and quilt cover, which was handmade by Master Yao himself. It was embroidered and sent by someone.

After so long, Bai Yingluo was not willing to use it, and kept it there.

He ordered Liusu to go to the kitchen to add some dishes, and asked Xiuniang to take someone to the backyard to tidy up a small yard. After half an hour, Du Xuan and Master Yao came back together.

"Master..."

Stepping up to meet the teacher respectfully, Bai Yingluo got up, affectionately took Master Yao's arm and entered the room, just like the previous appearance in Xiaoyazhai.

While eating, they chatted about the half-year separation, the indescribable beauty of a meal, and it didn't seem awkward at all because of one more person.

Seeing that Master Yao only talked about her recent situation, but didn't mention anything about her family, Bai Yingluo knew that it might not be all smooth sailing for her after returning to her hometown.

The tactful person didn't mention it much, and after talking for a while after the meal, Bai Yingluo personally sent Master Yao back to the courtyard to rest.

Woke up early the next day, just as Du Xuan went out, Master Yao came over.

Not polite at all, Master Yao said straight to the point: "I was worrying about how to find an excuse to go out, so you sent someone to invite me, and it was a name like Nanyang Prince's Mansion, so my family happily sent me out. But , From now on, I don't want to go back again, so as not to suffer for nothing, I don't have a place to talk to anyone."

The world is difficult and human relations are weak. Although Mrs. Yao is a widow, for so many years, whether she sits in the lecture hall or teaches in the deep house compound, Shu Xiu's income is also a considerable sum.

Even so, she only kept a small part of the money, and most of it went to subsidize her husband's family. Who knew that she would end up like this.

Talking about the family affairs, Master Yao was filled with bitterness, while Bai Yingluo was also very sad when he heard it.

"Fortunately, it's all over..."

Holding Master Yao's hand tightly, Bai Yingluo persuaded her consolingly: "Go back, they think you are idle and they are supporting you, so why don't you go back, since you have many acquaintances in the capital, why don't you They all respect you, in the future, you can live in the capital with peace of mind, even if you are old, I will take care of you until the end of your life."

Master Yao has no children. After so many years, the closest person around him is probably Bai Yingluo.

Touched in his heart, Master Yao didn't say any more, and instead asked about the errand he was going to accept in the Nanyang Palace.

"You don't need to do it yourself, just watch them embroider and point out from the side. When the time comes, you can combine the embroidery works of several people into one, which looks natural."

Bai Yingluo explained playfully.

It's easy to say, but it's difficult to do it. Otherwise, how could the Nanyang Palace spend so much time looking for capable people?

However, Master Yao is not afraid of these things, thinking that he can get rid of those relatives at home who have piercing eyes, as well as idle gossip pouring in like a tide, and now he can return to the busy, fulfilling but extremely comfortable life in the past , she was very grateful.

The message sent to Nanyang Prince's Mansion received a reply before lunch time.

In the afternoon, Bai Yingluo took Master Yao to Nanyang Palace in person.

Nanyang Prince's Mansion is located in the secluded Wutong Lane in the south of the city. It is very convenient to leave the city from here. It takes only a cup of tea to reach the city gate, but if you go to the palace, you have to go far. Fortunately, Nanyang King no longer has to go to court, otherwise , I'm afraid I have to go out before Mao's hour, and get up earlier.

I heard that in the past, there lived a powerful general in Wutong Lane. He went to the palace every day, and when the guards who escorted him into the palace galloped past, the loud sound of horseshoes could wake up the people around him who were still sleeping. , is often said to be a nuisance to the people.

Later, the general was convicted and his home was ransacked and exiled, so the house in Wutong Lane was vacant, but there were often haunted things nearby, and gradually, Wutong Lane became quiet.

After the King of Nanyang returned to Beijing with his concubine and children, Emperor Jiayuan wanted to reward the house. King Nanyang wrote a booklet and asked for Wutong Lane, and Emperor Jiayuan agreed.

The House of Internal Affairs was repaired, and King Nanyang moved into a new house.

Strange to say, since the Nanyang Prince's Mansion moved into Wutong Lane, those messy things never happened again, and the rumors of haunting are not self-defeating.

It was the end of June, when the carriage drove into the alley, the sycamore trees on both sides of the street looked lush and lush, and the spacious street was covered with many fallen leaves, mixed with the sunlight that leaked from the stars, as if they were colorfully colored It's just like in the ink painting, beautiful and timeless, it makes people feel offended even to speak loudly.

After getting out of the carriage, looking back at the beautiful alleyways in the painting, and then looking up at the introverted and low-key plaques in the Nanyang Palace, Bai Yingluo smiled and said, "It's really a good place."

Master Yao nodded in agreement.
