Glory all the way

Chapter 25
I don't know how I got back to Yi'an Pavilion, Bai Yingluo's ears were filled with the words of those women at the corner door just now.

She reminded herself over and over again that it was they who had nothing to do to gossip, but when she thought of such a possibility, Bai Yingluo couldn't stop trembling.

Today's Jing'anhou Mansion is the eldest son's wife, Mrs. Xue, who is in charge. Mrs. Bai has been out of charge for a long time, and she is just an orphan in the third room. Once Mrs. Xue thinks about it, she is afraid that she will really fall into a situation that cannot be redeemed.

What's more, there is also the second wife on the side.

Stretched on the bed, Bai Yingluo's complexion was pale, her eyes were lifeless, her mind became more and more confused, and her heart became more and more uncomfortable.

With a worried look on her face, Liu Su came over to touch her, and immediately called Liu Ying in a pale voice, "Go to the kitchen and bring another bowl of the day's medicine. Miss has a fever."

Chen Xiang knew the inside story, but at such a time, she couldn't say anything to comfort her, so she could only comfort Bai Yingluo with soft words, saying that the old lady Bai would not easily agree to marry her own granddaughter to such a family.

I don't know if I heard it or not. Bai Yingluo took the medicine in a daze and fell asleep. This sleep lasted for a day and a night. Yingluo's face was flushed from burning, and she murmured "Daddy, mother, father, mother, don't leave Luoniang behind", but she didn't wake up at all.

The old lady Bai was sitting on the side of the couch, looking at Bai Yingluo's appearance, thinking of her son and daughter-in-law who died young, she couldn't help but shed a lot of tears. At the same time, she ordered Mrs. Xue to take her name card and go to Mrs. Du's house, invited him here.

Mrs. Du is the medical administrator of the Imperial Hospital in the palace. Now, except for the diagnosis and pulse of the Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager, no one else can invite him. After getting the name card of Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Du came to give it to Bai Yingluo Shaking his head, he said to the old lady Bai with a regretful face: "Miss is born with a weak disease from her mother's womb, fortunately she was born in the Hou's mansion, and there are good things to take care of it, otherwise, I'm afraid it would have been long ago..."

Xu felt that those words were too ominous, so Mrs. Du paused and did not continue. He changed the topic and said, "My mind has been stagnant all year round, so I feel a little out of tune, and it will be fine after a while. This time, it is mostly because Caused by wind and cold, the old man prescribes a prescription, and within three days it will definitely get better."

"Thank you, my lord."

Seeing that Bai Yingluo was fine, the old lady Bai felt relieved, thanked her repeatedly, got up and sent Mrs. Du out of the Yi'an Pavilion in person.

Back in the house, Bai Yingluo was still in a coma. The old lady Bai looked at her granddaughter's peaceful sleeping face and thought of something. She was deeply saddened by tears for a while, and then she called Mother Zhao and said, "Sister Luo! Besides Chen Xiang, only Liu Su and Liu Ying are there. Now that Sister Luo is sick, how can the three of them take care of them? I sent two of them from my yard to deliver them quickly and safely. Be sure to take good care of them. Sister Luo."

"Yes, the old slave will arrange it now."

Mother Zhao bowed her head and went out to Qing'an Hall.

When Bai Yingluo woke up, the sun was high and the room was quiet and empty.

There is a hint of cool mint aroma floating in the air, which makes people feel refreshed when they smell it, and the original chaos gradually becomes clear.

After waking up for a while, Bai Yingluo sat up and felt a pain like Coptis chinensis in her mouth.

"tassel……"

Calling softly, Bai Yingluo lifted the brocade quilt and sat up. The next moment, Liusu came in from the outer room, poured water for Bai Yingluo to drink, and sighed: "Thank God, Miss is finally awake. , These days, not to mention the people in our house, even the old lady is worried. Miss, what's wrong with you? Is your head still hurting? Do you want to eat? "

Liusu has always been calm, but now she looks a bit like a warbler. Bai Yingluo took a sip of water and said with a smile: "It's much better, not as uncomfortable as it was a few days ago."

Sighing a few times, Liusu touched Bai Yingluo's forehead, and seeing that it was no longer hot, she said in a nonchalant manner, "The old lady has come to see her in person every day, but the young lady has fallen asleep. The daughter-in-law who is in charge is sent to greet us every day, and the people in our yard are now trembling, for fear that something inappropriate will be dismissed."

It was already July, and the light outside was very bright. Bai Yingluo stood up and walked a few steps in the room, then stopped abruptly, turned around and asked, "Liusu, what day is it today?"

Liusu's expression darkened, "Miss, it's the sixth day of the seventh lunar month."

The sixth day of July is the anniversary of the death of Bai Yingluo's father, Bai Shiming.

"Get ready, after lunch, I'm going to Chenghuanju to pay homage to my father."

Bai Yingluo said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Thinking that Bai Yingluo should not be sad and tired when recovering from a serious illness, Liusu looked a little hesitant, but every year on this day, Bai Yingluo would go to Chenghuanju to pay homage to Bai Shiming. And the fruit cakes to be used for memorial service.

At lunch time, after some rough use, Bai Yingluo went to Chenghuanju with Tassel and Liuying.

Cheng Huan Ju is located in the east chamber of the third entrance of Jing'an Hou Mansion. It takes only a cup of tea to walk along the Jiuqu Corridor, and you will find the Qing'an Hall where the old lady Bai lives.

Speaking of which, Cheng Huan Ju is the largest courtyard in the Jing'an Hou Mansion besides Mingya Garden and Qing'an Hall. The old lady Bai pointed out this courtyard to Bai Shiming that day, which shows her love for her third son.

However, for so many years, Chenghuan Residence has always been vacant. The second room and the fourth room tried their best to move in, but they were all rejected by the old lady Bai.

After coming down several times, the Fourth Master and the Fourth Madam simply took a rest, but the Second Master and the Second Madam would look unwilling and helpless every time they went to Qing'an Hall to greet Old Madam Bai, and returned to their own Qiu Ranxuan and passed by Cheng Huan Residence.

Bai Yingluo seldom set foot in Chenghuan Residence on weekdays, and only on the two days of Bai Shiming's and Liu's death days every year, she would come to pay respects to her parents. Now that she stepped into the courtyard, she saw that everything was as clean and tidy as before. Be safe.

Entering the main room, a quiet sandalwood scent hits the face, which makes people have a slight illusion that they have entered a Buddhist hall.

The layout of the house is the same as when Bai Shiming and Liu Shi lived there before, except that the dressing table in the inner room has been replaced by a red sandalwood high-leg table, on which there are tablets of Bai Shiming and Liu Shiming. In the incense burner in front of me, the few incense sticks lit early in the morning have been burned into powder, but the melons, fruits and pastries next to me are all fresh.

After looking around the room for a few times, Bai Yingluo rolled up her sleeves, took the handkerchief from Tassel, wiped the high-leg table carefully from front to back, from top to bottom, and wiped the melon again. After removing the snacks and replacing the dishes he brought, Fang lit three sticks of incense and put them in the incense burner.

Turning around and walking to a table, Bai Yingluo knelt on the futon, looked up at the two purple-black tablets, and the sadness in her heart spread so uncontrollably.

When Liusu and Liuying saw it, they knelt down and kowtowed three times silently, got up and quietly exited the inner room.

For Bai Shiming and Liu Shi, apart from the gift of childbirth, Bai Yingluo didn't have much affection. At this moment, all Bai Yingluo thought of was the middle-aged couple in the remote mountain village.

Today, Luo Niang of the Bai family has changed her body and identity, but her heart is still that simple and simple mountain village girl who longs for family affection.

She couldn't help but recalled the events of her previous life. After a while, Bai Yingluo's face was full of tears. In the tears, she seemed to see the kind faces of the pair, and Bai Yingluo cried even more uncontrollably.

I don't know how long I knelt, maybe the sun from the west came into the room, I just felt that the room was getting brighter, Bai Yingluo took out the handkerchief and wiped her face, stood up with her hands on the ground, and respectfully kowtowed three times , turned around and wanted to leave.

As soon as the footsteps moved, she heard soft footsteps coming from the yard. When Bai Yingluo walked to the window, she saw the old lady Bai walking towards the house on crutches, and only Madam Zhao followed behind her.

Seeing Liusu and Liuying leaning over to pay their respects, the old lady Bai waved her hand to signal them to keep quiet, and she turned her head to look at Zhao's mother. When Zhao's mother stopped, the old lady Bai entered the room alone.

Flashing past the screen, I saw Bai Yingluo kneeling on the futon. Although there were no tears on her face, the mottled tears showed that she had been crying for a long time. Then she raised her eyes and saw the two tablet tablets on the first place, thinking that she had been given black hair by a white-haired person. The pain of human beings, the eye sockets of the old lady Bai couldn't help getting a little moist.

"Sister Luo..."

With a loving voice, the old lady Bai stepped into the inner room.

Bai Yingluo came back to her senses, she hurriedly got up and helped the old lady sit in the armchair beside the table.

"Grandmother, why are you here? If father and mother see you so sad, they will not be relieved."

Seeing the tears in old lady Bai's eyes, Bai Yingluo choked up and said.

After a few days, Bai Yingluo, who had a ruddy complexion, has become thin and pointed, showing her pointed chin. The old lady Bai raised her hand to caress her face, and sighed: "Good boy, grandma has already been buried in half. But you, still sick, shouldn't be so sad, your parents will be relieved when they see you in the sky, you know?"

Thinking of the words she heard a few days ago, Bai Yingluo's complexion turned pale, and she knelt down in front of the old lady Bai and begged, "Grandmother, Luo'er originally wanted to take the place of her parents to perform filial piety by her side, but now, she is sick and crooked. Grandmother is so tired that she feels sad for Luo'er, because Luo'er is not filial. Grandmother, Luo'er would like to eat fast and chant Buddha in the family nunnery, pray for the parents who died young, and grandmother, and I hope grandma will allow it."

"Nonsense, what are you talking about?"

Angry in her heart, the old lady Bai scolded with a stern face, but in a flash, she seemed to think of something, and the grief in her eyes became more intense.
