Glory all the way

Chapter 260 Interrogation
The efficiency of the staff department was far faster than Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo imagined. In just one night, all the appointments were completed, and Du Xuan received the letter of appointment early the next morning.

Rather than saying it was a transfer, it was better to say it was a promotion. Du Xuan was transferred to Honglu Temple, where he served as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and the official residence was from the fifth rank.

When Suiyuan took the lead to come back to announce the good news, Bai Yingluo couldn't help but smile, and then said with a broken smile: "I met Dou Xiuqiao when I went to the palace the day before yesterday, and she said that the young master is going to be promoted, so I answered the question casually." She said auspiciously, and now, it really has come true."

After the transfer document from the Ministry of Officials came out, there was a lot of traffic in front of Zhuangyuan's mansion. Du Xuan's former classmates and colleagues all came to congratulate in groups. Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo originally decided to return to Jing'anhou's mansion It had to be postponed, and with this push, it was March.

The day when Du Xuan reported to Honglu Temple was the sixth day of March, and after the second day of March, the number of people who came to congratulate him gradually decreased. Taking advantage of the free afternoon of this day, Du Xuan hurried to the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

In Qing'an Hall, the old lady Bai was playing with Brother Kun. The little guy who was almost three years old was running around all over the room when he was naughty. Mother Zhao was afraid that he would fall and knock, so she hurriedly ordered the little maid to follow behind her. Then, for a while, the room seemed extremely lively.

After the maidservant passed the message, Du Xuan walked across the threshold with his head down along the raised curtain, and was running to meet Brother Kun who was rushing up happily. lock up.

The feeling of being suspended in the air made the little guy giggle, until he fell to the ground, Brother Kun still grabbed Du Xuan's arm and yelled: "Sixth Uncle, more, more..."

Du Xuan politely greeted the old lady Bai, followed the old lady's loving eyes and sat down on the armchair, turned around and hugged Brother Kun in his arms, and whispered a few words into his ear. Suddenly, the little guy So he stopped making trouble obediently.

The old lady Bai has always liked Du Xuan, what's more, now that he is her grandson-in-law, the old lady looks at him more and more pleasingly, seeing Du Xuan and Brother Kun whispering, thinking about Bai Yingluo's pregnancy and birth in October , Du Xuan will definitely be a qualified good father, and the old lady feels more and more relieved.

Brother Chong Kun beckoned, and when he came to him and sat down obediently, the old lady Bai smiled at Du Xuan: "Go, the old man is waiting for you in the study, if you don't come, I will annoy you .”

Nodding his head with shame on his face, Du Xuan got up and went out, while Brother Kun insisted on chasing after him, until the old lady said that the sixth uncle would come back to find him later, the little guy calmed down, with a pair of eyes, but Keep looking at the hidden curtain.

When Du Xuan entered the study, the old man Bai was standing behind the desk, carrying a large handwritten character on his back. Du Xuan walked lightly to the desk and stood there, waiting until the old man Bai wrote the pen, and then saluted respectfully.

"Come and see how I write this handwriting."

Old Master Bai looked up at Du Xuandao.

Nodding his head in response, Du Xuan walked around the desk and stood behind Old Master Bai, looked at the words on the table,
"It's not intentional to go or stay, just look at the clouds and clouds in the sky."

The pen is powerful, and it is written in twelve big characters, but Du Xuan sees a different meaning.

"Don't be surprised by favor or disgrace, the flowers bloom and fall in the idle court. The teacher's meaning, the student understands."

Du Xuan replied seriously.

With a smile on his face, Old Master Bai patted Du Xuan's shoulder appreciatively, pointed to the seat of the teahouse and said, "Your uncle brought good tea a few days ago, let's talk while drinking tea."

Du Xuan nodded and said yes, Xu helped Old Master Bai walk around the desk and walked forward.

In Yixin Garden, Bai Yingluo was entertaining two young guests.

Ruozhen and Ruozhu have been to the Zhuangyuan Mansion many times, and now they are very familiar with Yixinyuan. After entering the room, talking and laughing for a while, and eating some pastries, Ruozhu got up and walked to Bai Yingluo's side, pulling Her arms shook.

Naturally, Bai Yingluo understood what she meant. She scratched her nose dotingly, got up and led her and Ruozhen to the outside, and said softly, "Then, you can only play for half an hour, okay?"

Ruozhen smiled shyly, and Ruozhu nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice.

A group of three walked in front, Liusu took a few little maids, along with the two sisters' nurses and maids, followed behind and headed towards the backyard.

The two sisters were swinging on the swing, with bright smiles on their faces, but at such a moment, the yard was quiet, Bai Yingluo looked at the picture in front of her, even though she thought in her heart that this was the best situation, she still Involuntarily sighed a few times.

After playing for a few times, the two sisters gradually became more courageous. Seeing that the maid behind her was not pushing vigorously, Ruozhu simply pushed the maid away, and pushed herself vigorously.

Ruozhen swayed higher and higher, and the dimples on her cheeks became deeper and deeper, her little face was flushed with excitement, like a red apple on an autumn tree, very cute to look at.

Bai Yingluo glanced at Liusu, and asked her to take the little maids to protect the two sisters. When she looked away, she saw the wet nurse standing by the flowerbed, her eyes fixed on the two sisters, holding hands together, They held each other tightly, and the anxiety in their eyes was clearly visible.

Bai Yingluo's heart skipped a beat.

Half an hour soon came, when she was pulling Ruozhen and Ruozhu to Yixin Garden, Ruozhen obediently held Bai Yingluo's hand, while Ruozhu turned her head to look at the slightly shaking swing frame, A look of nostalgia.

After entering the house, Liusu and Liuying led the sisters to clean their hands.

Sitting down again, Ruozhen and Ruozhu both looked like quiet and good girls.

Bai Yingluo pursed her lips and smiled, and while asking the maid to serve the two sisters' favorite pastry, she said softly, "I've ordered the small kitchen to make an extra portion, and you can take it home to eat when you leave later."

Ordinary families seldom give food to each other, because they are afraid that if something happens, they will not be able to explain it at the time, but every time Bai Yingluo sees the two sisters acting like greedy cats, she can't help feeling sorry for her.

In fact, what kind of cakes does Jiamin Wengzhu Mansion have?What Ruozhen and Ruozhu like is nothing more than Bai Yingluo's relaxed and cozy feeling here, so even the pastries from Zhuangyuan Mansion seem to be much sweeter and more delicious.

Ruozhu smiled with crooked eyebrows, and Ruozhen gestured to thank her, but Bai Yingluo didn't understand the last sentence.

Beside her, a clever little maid explained: "Mrs. Du, miss said that you made her and her sister feel like a mother, so they like you and like to come to Zhuangyuan's mansion to play."

With hot eyes, Bai Yingluo nodded, and repeated what she said before: "I also like Ruozhen and Ruozhu, so you are welcome to come and play often."

Looking up, she saw that the wet nurse was staring at Ruozhen closely, with a bit of bitterness on her face, Bai Yingluo's heart became clearer.

Hardening her heart slightly, Bai Yingluo looked at Ruozhen and asked, "You guys, do you miss your mother?"

Stunned for a moment, Ruozhen shook her head with a smile, and said with gestures: "Mother will watch us from the sky, she will always be by my side to accompany us, so we will be obedient. Besides, grandpa and mother-in-law love us very much. , aunt and uncle too, Ruozhen and Ruozhu feel very happy."

After finishing speaking, Ruozhen raised her eyes to look at the wet nurse with a happy expression on her face.

With a slight smile on Bai Yingluo's face, she met the nurse's gaze, and the nurse immediately lowered her head in a little panic.

Even if you are an adult, when you mention the elders who have passed away in your family, you will definitely have a trace of nostalgia on your face, let alone a child who has never seen his parents since birth. Ruozhen's words must be told by someone secretly. passed.

Bai Yingluo knew it well, looked back at the weather outside, and asked in a deliberative way: "It's still early, how about letting Liu Su and Liu Ying accompany you to play hide-and-seek in the courtyard?"

Hearing that they could go out to play again, the two sisters got up happily, and affectionately led Tassel and Liuying to the outside.

Seeing that the wet nurse wanted to follow, Bai Yingluo called softly: "Mother Shen, stay a while."

With a pause in her footsteps, Shen's mother leaned over and gave a blessing. On the one hand, she looked back at the door with some anxiety, but the curtain had already fallen, so there was nothing else to be seen.

"I don't know where Shen's mother is from? Ruozhen and Ruozhu are two cute children. I like them very much. You serve with so much heart. I should thank you."

Bai Yingluo said politely.

Women's intuition is extremely accurate, Shen's mother already knew in her heart that Bai Yingluo was suspicious of her.

Looking up, Bai Yingluo's face was full of smiles, but there was a trace of determination in her eyes. Mother Shen simply stopped hiding it and told the truth, "This servant is from Qingquan Town."

Qingquan is close to Bangcheng.

"Oh? Speaking of which, we are still from the same hometown as my husband. My husband grew up in Bengcheng since he was a child."

Bai Yingluo laughed.

Mother Shen's hands were tightly held together again.

For so many years in the Nanyang Palace, because she served the two sisters with all her heart, the King of Nanyang and the Princess of Nanyang trusted her very much. For so many years, not only did they not send anyone to trace her origin, but they entrusted Ruozhen and Ruozhu to her with confidence. She serves.

But the woman in her twenties in front of her had a pair of penetrating eyes. Being looked at so tenderly by her, Mother Shen felt nervous for no reason.

"Madam, but what's wrong with this servant? Tell me, this servant will definitely change."

Mother Shen said somewhat cautiously.

Bai Yingluo smiled and shook her head, "Don't dare, even the concubine has praised you in front of me several times. Let me see, treating your own daughter is nothing more than that. You have done a great job."

Speaking of the four words of biological daughter, Shen's mother couldn't help holding her breath.

But when she looked up again, Bai Yingluo had already turned her head to look out of the half-closed window. Mother Shen exhaled a few breaths, and the heart that almost jumped out of her mouth gradually fell back down.

In the yard, Ruozhu was blindfolded and was waving her hands around. Seeing that Xiangzhu was about to be caught by her, beside her, Ruozhen naughtily tugged at the corner of her clothes behind her. Turned around, but missed again.

A group of people were having fun, Bai Yingluo looked at it, and a layer of warmth surged in her heart.

Turning around, seeing Shen's mother bowing her head in trepidation, Bai Yingluo said softly, "As long as you treat her like a pearl, no one will get into the details of who you are. I just want to know what happened in Bangcheng back then. Just find a few more relatives for my husband, don’t worry. After all, it happened many years ago, you should think about it when you go back, and if you think of anything, remember to tell me.”

Mother Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly nodded her head in response.
