Glory all the way

Chapter 284
At dawn the next day, when Du Xuan was sent out, Bai Yingluo took Brother Yan in a carriage and left the city. Liusu and Liuying also went with her.

"Ma'am, look at me, you seem to like Baijiazhuang very much."

Brother Yan fell asleep, and the three master and servant chatted softly. Seeing the joy on Bai Yingluo's face, Liuying couldn't help saying it a little funny.

"is it?"

Bai Yingluo was taken aback for a moment.

Liuying nodded, but Liusu seemed to know the answer, she leaned into Liuying's ear with a smile and said something, suddenly, Liuying's face suddenly realized.

Bai Yingluo knew it without guessing, Liusu definitely said that Bai Yingluo met Du Xuan in Baijiazhuang, so she had a different kind of deep affection for Baijiazhuang.

Smiling, Bai Yingluo didn't make any excuses.

After leaving the city gate, the air seemed to be a little bit fresher, and Brother Yan, who was asleep, kicked his legs and woke up.

Bai Yingluo felt that her son was caring even more, she hugged him in her arms, kissed his face and stretched out her hand, the mother and son played wordlessly.

After more than two hours, they arrived at Baijiazhuang.

At the head of the village there were playful half-children who entered the village and shouted as soon as they saw the carriage. After a while, all the people in the village surrounded them. came out.

Knowing that it was Bai Yingluo who came, Li Dazhuang secretly rejoiced that he did not go to the Zhuangzi so early today, otherwise, it would be their negligence if no one received Bai Yingluo when she came.

"Ma'am, I'm here to drive the car, go sit in the house for a while, Xiuniang is in the house."

After saluting respectfully, Li Dazhuang greeted the steward, took the whip in his hand familiarly, jumped into the cart and drove the horse forward.

After a while, the carriage stopped at the entrance of a rather ancient house.

"The humble house is simple, madam, don't dislike it."

He opened the curtain of the car attentively, and when Liu Su and Liu Ying helped Bai Yingluo off, Li Dazhuang said with some embarrassment.

To Li Dazhuang, this small house of his own is already considered a mansion in several nearby Zhuangzi, but in the capital, such a house is really nothing, so, thinking that Bai Yingluo might Resting here, Li Dazhuang felt a little embarrassed.

Entering the courtyard of the main house the second time, Bai Xiu spoke seriously to the women and daughters-in-law. He heard Bai Yingluo wave her hand outside the courtyard door, and the people behind her stopped in good time. .

It wasn't until the women had dispersed and filed out of the courtyard that Bai Yingluo entered the room with a smile on her face.

The people behind all looked back suspiciously, but they didn't dare to delay at all, they walked out quickly, and after a while, only Bai Xiu and the others were left in the yard.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Bai Xiu frowned subconsciously, looked up and saw that it was Bai Yingluo, Bai Xiu was surprised, "Ma'am, why are you here?"

"My lord has been busy receiving Xili's envoy these days. I don't have anything important to do in the mansion, so I will come out to relax."

Talking with a casual smile, Bai Yingluo looked around at the scenery in the courtyard.

The courtyard is only a quarter of the size of Yixinyuan, but it is midsummer, and by the courtyard wall at the corner, there are several pear trees with luxuriant branches and leaves. The pears on the branches are almost ripe and ready to eat, and the pears growing on the top The ones with the most sunshine have already revealed a golden yellow color, just looking at them makes people salivate.

"Da Zhuang, go to Zhuangzi quickly, I'm here with Madam."

Maybe there was something urgent in Zhuangzi, Bai Xiu said to Li Dazhuang while greeting Bai Yingluo.

In front of his own daughter-in-law, Li Dazhuang lost his shrewd look in front of outsiders. He smiled honestly, saluted Bai Yingluo, turned around and strode out of the yard.

After entering the room, she ate two pieces of snacks and drank a bowl of tea. When she turned her head and saw that the sun was shining in the yard, Bai Yingluo smiled and said, "Let's sit in the yard and talk."

Xiao Shitou and Yan Geer lay side by side on the kang and slept soundly, with nurses and maids looking after them, there was nothing to worry about. Bai Xiu smiled and ordered the little maid to carry the small round table and reclining chair out, and followed Bai Yingluo left the room.

"I was worried that you were having a bad life, but now that I see it with my own eyes, I feel relieved."

Drinking the mellow soy milk and eating the dim sum that she knew was made by the Bai family aunt herself, Bai Yingluo sighed quite satisfied.

Bai Yingluo still remembers that in her previous life, as the eldest sister, Bai Xiu took care of family affairs in obscurity. Even if there was only one foot of cloth, she would save it until the Chinese New Year to sew a waistcoat for Mrs. Bai's family. Make a new coat for Bai Luo.

At that time, Bai Xiu was reluctant to eat and wear, as if she regarded herself as a man.

Therefore, after Bai Xiu and Li Dazhuang arrived in Zhuangzi, Bai Yingluo was worried for a while, in order to repay her kindness as soon as possible, they were so frugal and reluctant to eat.

After all, they were relatives in the previous life, but now they are master and servant. If Bai Xiu is timid, those people in Zhuangzi who are good at observing words and expressions will guess Bai Yingluo based on Bai Xiu. At that time, it should be regarded as an advantage for Bai Xiu. All turned into shortcomings.

Fortunately, Bai Xiu is far better than Bai Yingluo could have imagined. Today, she seems to have become a daughter-in-law who can take care of herself. She is good at farm work in the farm. The full display of majesty made Bai Yingluo feel a little surprised by the three days.

"Xiu Niang, it's no wonder Madam always looks at you with high regard. Now that we can see it with our own eyes, we are convinced."

After getting off the carriage, Liu Ying changed from her former livelyness and watched everything in front of her quietly. At this moment, she saw Bai Xiu entertaining Bai Yingluo in a generous manner, like two people from when she first entered the Marquis' mansion to pay her respects to Bai Yingluo. Liuying glanced at Liusu, and couldn't stop praising her.

Bai Xiu smiled generously, and gave Bai Yingluo a grateful look. Fang turned her head to Liu Ying and said, "That's because Madam gave this opportunity to this servant. From now on, you will only do better than me."

While speaking, a small head appeared outside the courtyard gate, with a delicate face and faint dimples, it was Bai Xiu's eight-year-old daughter Li Juan.

"Juan'er, come quickly and kowtow to Madam."

Bai Xiu raised her voice, Juan'er stuck out her tongue playfully, and walked in.

After kowtowing to Bai Yingluo, Juan'er got up and looked at Bai Xiu and said softly, "Grandma asked me to come, she said to see if there is anyone here, if not, she will take care of Xiao Shitou."

Glancing at Bai Yingluo and seeing her nodding her head, Bai Xiu touched her daughter's face and said, "Go and tell grandpa and grandma that the wife of Zhuangyuan's mansion is here, please come and see me."

Juan'er nodded in response, turned around and ran out quickly.

After a cup of tea, an old couple nervously walked in behind Juan'er.

Knowing that they are noblemen from the capital city and the masters of their son and daughter-in-law, the two knelt down and kowtowed tremblingly, until they stood up, they kept looking at Bai Xiu, and acted according to Bai Xiu's eyes.

"Father, mother, go in and take care of Little Shitou. Also, the young master of the Du Mansion is here, and the wet nurse is taking care of him. Don't feed him carelessly."

During the years when Bai Xiu was not pregnant, Li's parents-in-law treated her very badly, and even her own son Li Dazhuang was kicked out of the house because of protecting Bai Xiu. Seeing Bai Yingluo groaning silently, Bai Xiu knew Bai Yingluo I had a bad impression of them, so I hurriedly sent a message.

The two kowtowed their heads in fear and went into the house. Bai Xiu said shyly: "Now, they treat me very well. When the field is short of life, they are here all day long to help me take care of the little stone. Thinking of the past Although I feel a bit chilled, they are the parents of Da Zhuang, and the grandparents of Juan'er and Xiaoshitou, so the servants have left the past behind. The servants always remember what Madam said , people have to look forward.”

Bai Yingluo smiled relievedly: "If you think it's good, that's enough."

After a while, the second elder of the Bai family who got the news also came.

"Luo Niang, why don't you say hello and ask your godfather to pick you up."

Said resentfully, the aunt of the Bai family glanced behind Bai Yingluo, and asked a little nervously: "Brother Xuan is not here? Are you quarreling?"

With a small smile on her lips, Bai Yingluo shook her head, "He has been busy with errands for the past few days, and I happen to have something to come to see some shopkeepers in Tao Town, so I will stop by to see you and Eldest Sister, we are doing well, you and Godfather don’t worry."

Suspiciously looking at Liusu and Liuying, seeing that they both had uncontrollable smiles on their faces, Mrs. Bai was relieved and called Uncle Bai to come into the house to see Brother Yan.

In the afternoon, Tao Jianming got the news and rushed over, saying that the message had been sent out, and the shopkeepers surnamed Tao would be able to gather early the next morning.

Bai Xiu and Li Dazhuang knew that Bai Yingluo was here for business, so they decided to discuss the matter in the meeting room in the courtyard when they entered.

Tao Jianming said that he was still writing a document about the idea of ​​this business, met Bai Yingluo, made an appointment to meet the next day, and left in a hurry.

In the afternoon, Bai Yingluo hugged Brother Yan and followed the elders of the Bai family to the small courtyard of the Bai family.

The yard has been renovated and the area is more than double the size of the previous one. Mrs. Bai planted a lot of eggplants and beans in the yard. On several rows of neat bamboo racks, the green cucumbers are fresh and pleasant.

Looking at the east wing room where she lived in her previous life, Bai Yingluo felt as if she was in a dream for a moment.

In the ears, it seemed that the silver bells and laughter of the three sisters playing and chasing around the three-legged table sounded again.

After standing at the door of the house for a long time, Bai Yingluo came back to her senses. Looking at the lush courtyard, Bai Yingluo pointed to the place under the kitchen window and smiled at Aunt Bai: "I remember there is a well there..."

The aunt of the Bai family nodded with a smile and said: "Now that there are more children, Xiuniang's father was afraid that the children would trip up or have any accidents while playing in the yard, so he sealed the well and dug a new one in the backyard. .”

"Then the chicken coop in the backyard was demolished?"

Bai Yingluo continued to ask.

The chickens and ducks in the farmhouse, except when they go back to sleep in the shack at night, are raised in the yard during the day, but chickens fly and ducks jump, and they will inevitably get a lot of filth into the well.

Thinking that it was Du Xuan who told Bai Yingluo that there was a chicken coop in the backyard, Aunt Bai became more and more happy, and said in response to Bai Yingluo's words: "The backyard has more than doubled in size, and Xiuniang's father specially built a fence to separate it. Yes, I raised a lot of chickens and ducks."

Even though she was no longer the same as she was in her previous life, Bai Yingluo still felt that this place was extremely friendly, she turned her head and told the wet nurse to take good care of her elder brother, and Bai Yingluo walked into the small kitchen with her skirt, and walked through the back door to the backyard.

Seeing that Bai Yingluo was so familiar with her small courtyard, the two elders of the Bai family were slightly surprised.
