Glory all the way

Chapter 313 Joy
After seeing off the Loulan envoy, it was approaching the Chinese New Year, so Bai Yingluo put all her thoughts on the New Year's banquet, but every time Du Xuan went out, Bai Yingluo always carried her heart.

It was noon, and the bright sunlight came in through the window, and Bai Yingluo, who was sitting by the soft couch, was covered with a layer of fine golden light. Brother Yan was sitting on the soft couch and playing sideways, as if he saw something It's just as funny as anything, staring blankly at the golden hairpin on Bai Yingluo's head without moving her eyes.

Bai Yingluo turned her head to look at her son's stupid look, and pinched his nose affectionately.

Holding a stack of thick gift lists in her hand, Bai Yingluo considered them one by one, turning her head from time to time to tell Tassel and Liu Ying a few words, and before she knew it, the sun was setting towards the west.

Turning his head and moving his neck, he saw Du Xuan holding a windmill in his hand and stepping through the gate of the courtyard. The colorful windmill whirled, which was indescribably beautiful.

"Brother Yan, see what good things Daddy is holding?"

Bai Yingluo picked up Brother Yan and let him put his hands on the half-open window to look out.

Kicking his legs excitedly, Brother Yan stretched out his hand to Du Xuan. Du Xuan smiled and strode into the room.

Pass the windmill to Brother Yan and hold it tightly, but the windmill is not as happy as when it was in the yard just now, Brother Yan raised his head to look at Du Xuan with a puzzled face, babbling and asking questions in his unique way of speaking .

Du Xuan laughed loudly, called the wet nurse to dress Brother Yan thickly, put his son on his neck and went out.

After a while, the happy laughter of the father and son came from the yard. Bai Yingluo was sitting in the room watching, with a happy smile on her face.

"Should we book a few plays in advance, and invite the family to have a lively time when the Chinese New Year banquet is held?"

After dinner and coaxing Brother Yan to sleep, Bai Yingluo took Du Xuan's arm for a walk in the courtyard.

During the Chinese New Year last year, Du Xuan was only a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and the excitement of being named on the gold list had long since passed. Thinking that Du Xuan had no relatives by his side, Old Master Bai and Mrs. Bai had handed over a message early in the morning to let them go back to celebrate the New Year. , Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo spent most of their time in Jing'an Hou Mansion.

And this year, he has become the young minister of Honglu Temple from the Imperial Academy, and has received envoys from the four kingdoms of Xili. Everyone can see Du Xuan's own ability, and how favored he is by Emperor Jiayuan and the Crown Prince. Therefore, This year's Chinese New Year, although the Zhuangyuan Mansion is not full of visitors, it must be much more lively than last year.

Bai Yingluo's move can be regarded as a precautionary measure, so as not to be in a hurry and cause gossip.

"It's fine as long as you feel good, as long as you don't feel too tired, you have the final say."

Du Xuan replied with a smile.

Du Xuan's palm was dry and warm, and he held Bai Yingluo's hand tightly, making her feel a little warm in her heart, Bai Yingluo joked, "If it goes wrong then, don't blame me for hurting your face. "

"The face is all for outsiders to see. As long as I think you are good, even if you don't do anything, I will be happy."

Du Xuan laughed more and more heartily.

Bai Yingluo leaned on Du Xuan's shoulder with crooked eyebrows, her heart was full of tenderness, and Du Xuan's murmured words sounded in her ear, "Mother Luo, we've only known each other for four years, and we've only been married for a year and a half, but I But it feels like we've been together for decades."

Xuan Lang, we were husband and wife in our previous life...

Talking softly in her heart, Bai Yingluo looked up at Du Xuan and said, "Maybe, we were husband and wife in our previous life?"

"How can there be reincarnation in this world?"

Du Xuan shook his head with a smile, but in an instant, he held Bai Yingluo's hand even tighter, "If that's the case, then we will be husband and wife for life and life, and never separate."

When the envoy came to Beijing, Du Xuan had been busy for more than half a year, and suddenly he was free. With these affectionate words, even in the night, Bai Yingluo's face was still flushed, and the cool wind blew through her, and she always felt her face was hot.

After entering the room, against the backdrop of the lights, she became more and more charming. Du Xuan's eyes couldn't help being tinged with a bit of fiery heat.

Unlimited tenderness overnight.

On the second day, when Bai Yingluo opened her eyes, it was already bright outside, thinking that today she had summoned all the stewards and daughter-in-laws to meet at Shu Yuxuan, Bai Yingluo resentfully said, "Why didn't you call me earlier? "

Surprised on Liusu's face, he looked back at the clock on the antique stand, and at the sky lit up by the window paper, and said suddenly: "Ma'am, it's only two o'clock now. Outside It's snowing, so look at the bright hall."

Seeing that it was still early, and her body was very lazy, Bai Yingluo sneaked back into the bed and squinted for a quarter of an hour.

After washing up and having breakfast, Bai Yingluo went to Shuyuxuan.

Ever since Bai Yingluo decided on the method of dividends, the more you work, the less you work, the less you get, and someone supervises from the sidelines to prevent them from filling their own pockets. , there are very few things that bother Bai Yingluo.

In an hour's time, all the errands were assigned. Looking at the earnest eyes of the stewardess and daughters-in-law, Bai Yingluo smiled and said, "Everyone has worked hard this year, and the rewards are divided into silver. On the morning of the New Year's Eve, you all I know, I will definitely not disappoint you."

After finishing speaking, Shu Yuxuan was filled with voices of servants thanking Dade.

Before noon, Du Xuan came back.

Seeing the surprised look on Bai Yingluo's face, Du Xuan sighed softly and said: "Just now when I arrived at Honglu Temple, Master Chen told me to go to the Ministry of Officials. The Ministry of Officials issued a new letter of appointment, asking me to work in the Ministry of Household Affairs in the next year .”

Mr. Chen is Du Xuan's immediate boss, and now it is the day of the evaluation of hundreds of officials, and this time Du Xuan was transferred to the household department, it can be seen that it is the prince's handwriting.

Bai Yingluo pursed her lips and muttered for a while, before she muttered, "Didn't the crown prince say that you have to think it through? Why is the letter of appointment just issued like this?"

Such a good thing as being promoted, others can't ask for it, but when they came to Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo, not only did they not look happy, but they were a little nervous.

Du Xuan sighed, but still shook his head.

"Upgraded to a level?"

The Ministry of Officials has already issued a letter of appointment, and this matter is settled, no matter what the inside story is, it cannot be changed, and it is useless to think about it, Bai Yingluo looked down at Du Xuan and smiled.

"Zhengwupin, Hubu doctor."

Du Xuan replied with a smile.

"Then this year will be another good year. Grandfather and grandmother will be happy when they go back to the Marquis Mansion. As for what will happen in the future, it will still be the same sentence. Soldiers will come to cover the water and earth, so don't think too much about it. Thunder, rain and dew It's Jun'en, just do a good job and serve the court."

Bai Yingluo was more thoughtful than Du Xuan.

Nodding in response, Du Xuan seemed to hear something suddenly, looked up at Bai Yingluo and said: "There is a banquet in the palace on New Year's Eve, and I am also going to the banquet. At that time, you will also enter the palace, so this It will take a few days to get ready. Brother Yan..."

What happened in the palace last time, Du Xuan also had grudges, hesitated for a moment, and said firmly: "Anyway, we will go back to the Hou's mansion to watch the new year after leaving the palace, and brother Yan will be sent to my sister-in-law. Let's take care of it together for a day."

Not only Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Xue, but Mrs. Jia also likes Brother Yan very much. Whenever he returns to the Hou Mansion, he puts Brother Yan and Sister Ru together, and the two brothers and sisters are very happy.

Bai Yingluo nodded meekly in agreement.

On the early morning of the 100th, when Bai Yingluo got up and went to Shuyuxuan, all the servants of the Zhuangyuan Mansion were already waiting neatly in the hall. At a glance, although there were more than [-] people, they were completely silent.

Seeing Bai Yingluo nod her head, Tassel took out the booklets that had already been calculated from the box, and read the names of the people and this year's dividends and rewards one by one. From time to time, there would be cheers and exclamations from the crowd.

Looking at the excited smiling faces of the servants, Bai Yingluo suddenly felt a little secretly happy.

On the way back to Yixinyuan, Bai Yingluo rushed to Liusu and Liuying who were following behind, "If you have money in your hands, you can worry about everything. No wonder everyone is scrambling for it. They sharpen their heads and want to be rich."

This year, Bai Yingluo didn't know how much the shops in Bai Yingluo's hands earned, but only the 5000 taels that Du Xuan invested in medicinal materials gave him 1 taels.

A [-]% profit, in the past, Du Xuan never dared to think about it, but now, it seems to be within easy reach.

The masters were in a good mood, and the servants below followed suit. For a whole day, the servants in Zhuangyuan's mansion even walked with floating footsteps, obviously extremely happy.

In the afternoon, Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo carried brother Yan in their arms, and took their nurse to Jing'an Hou Mansion.

When they entered the palace for the banquet, it was already dark, and the brightly lit palace looked taller and more solemn in the night.

The banquet was held in Baohe Hall not far from Taihe Hall. It was still early before the banquet started, so Bai Yingluo went to the side hall and successfully found Sun Yantong.

When talking about Duke Zhou's mansion, he had to mention Liu Ruomei, who was about to marry. Sun Yantong winked and whispered in Bai Yingluo's ear, "I never thought that your cousin is a clever girl, and she got her husband before she even entered the house." Happy."

Liu Ruomei and Zhou Yunpeng met in private, and they agreed on a lifelong promise. If it is accidentally spread in the future, it will be a joke.

Bai Yingluo smiled, but her eyes looked back and forth at Sun Yantong, "I don't know who won the favor of the husband-in-law, but came here to imply showing off?"

Hearing this, Sun Yantong's face suddenly glowed like a red glow.

They have been married for half a year, and Sun Yantong and her husband-in-law are always as sweet as newlyweds. The last time Sun Yantong came to see Bai Yingluo in the Zhuangyuan Mansion, Zhou Yunqing rushed to pick her up, but Bai Yingluo gave Sun Yantong a hard laugh.

Smiling shyly, Sun Yantong couldn't help but her face darkened. Presumably, she felt that she and her husband-in-law were so sweet but had no body yet.

Knowing what she was thinking, Bai Yingluo persuaded softly: "There are many people who have been married for a year or two and have no body. Your mother-in-law didn't urge you, and brother-in-law Zhou loves you again. Why are you so anxious?"

What Bai Yingluo said was also true. Sun Yantong's complexion was a little slow, and she was about to speak, but just as she opened her mouth, she felt a greasy feeling in her throat, and a foul breath was eager to spit out.
