Glory all the way

Chapter 37
"The old lady really said that?"

When she learned about Old Madam Bai's attitude, it was already the second day since she came back from the palace. Bai Yingluo changed her clothes and sat on the side of the soft couch, took a few sips of tea from Liusu and asked.

Liusu nodded, "Miss, it's absolutely true, the maid asked about it from sister Qiuwen. When discussing this matter in the room last night, it was sister Qiuwen who was serving, so there must be no mistake."

Bai Yingluo let out a sigh of relief.

"Although grandfather is not in the mansion, if there is only one person who can make decisions about the affairs of the Marquis Mansion, then only grandfather will be the only one. This move by the old lady can be regarded as temporarily quieting the ears."

Talking softly, Bai Yingluo counted the days and said, "So, grandfather should be back in another month?"

Liusu thought for a while, and said, "It's the seventeenth day of July now, and I feel that the old Hou Ye will definitely come back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it probably won't take more than a month."

Bai Yingluo took it for granted, but on the other hand, she said worriedly: "But I don't know who Grandfather will let move into Chenghuan Residence."

In a word, the three Chen Xiang in the room became silent.

Whether it's the second room or the fourth room, no matter who moves into Cheng Huan Ju, it's not what Bai Yingluo wants to see. After all, it's still a longing for her to have Cheng Huan Ju empty there. You can go and sit there for a while, but once one of them moves in, from then on, the third room will disappear from the memory of everyone in Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Taking a few deep breaths, Bai Yingluo said resolutely: "Do your best and obey the destiny. In the end, if I can win, I will give it a go."

Chen Xiang and the three of them naturally understood the meaning implied in Bai Yingluo's words.

"Miss, this servant feels that it seems that the old Hou Ye holds the right to make the decision now, but we might as well pay more attention to the eldest son and the eldest lady. If they are willing to say a word, the old Hou Ye and the old lady will definitely consider it." One or two."

Chen Xiang has served by Old Madam Bai's side for many years, and naturally knows the temperament of Old Master Bai and Old Madam Bai.

Immediately, Bai Yingluo nodded at Chen Xiang with eyes full of approval, "I think so too. The second uncle and the fourth uncle and the eldest uncle are brothers, and if they don't help each other, no one will be offended. It's because of such a friendly attitude. However, I heard that my aunt gave birth to a freshman yesterday?"

I didn't know why at first, but after last night's turbulent appearance of Mrs. Xue and the second wife in the main room of Qing'an Hall, today, those things have already been spread in the Hou's mansion. How could Chen Xiang and the others fail to find out?

Immediately, Liuying quickly said that Mrs. Xue invited the Taoist priest to enter the mansion, but Erfang used the Taoist priest's mouth to express her thoughts, so the second wife made a decision.

Bai Yingluo's eyes lit up, "Since that's the case, Eldest Aunt has made an appearance of not helping each other, and there must be a knot in her heart, and she definitely doesn't want the second room to live in Cheng Huan Residence?"

Chen Xiang and the three nodded.

Resting her chin and thinking hard for a while, Bai Yingluo frowned tightly, but there was nothing good to do for a while, so she said sadly, "Let's take one step at a time", then got up and took the maid to celebrate. Andang.

"Sister Luo, come and sit next to grandma."

After entering the house, it was still early for dinner, only the old lady Bai was reclining on the soft couch in the inner room, and Mother Zhao was sitting on the twig by her feet to talk with her, the old lady Bai waved to Bai Yingluo.

"Grandmother, I see that your complexion is not good. Did you not sleep last night?"

Taking a careful look at old lady Bai's dark yellow complexion, Bai Yingluo asked with a wrinkled face.

As for the old lady Bai, who obviously liked her granddaughter's expression very much, she immediately showed a smile and sighed softly: "When I get old, I don't sleep as much as you children, just take care of it for a few days and it will be fine. "

"Grandma, let me pinch your head."

Bai Yingluo rolled up her sleeves and took off the bracelet on her wrist, wrapped it in a silk parchment and pressed it under the soft pillow of old lady Bai, while kneeling on the soft couch with her legs up.

At first glance, it is what I often do on weekdays, and I look like I am familiar with it.

The smile on Old Madam Bai's face became softer, she turned over and adjusted a comfortable posture, and gently closed her eyes.

On the other side, Bai Yingluo gently took off the mop on the old lady Bai's forehead, and took off a few pearl hairpins on her head, then found a few acupuncture points, and slowly massaged them.

After a while, the old lady Bai breathed out evenly and long, and a comfortable smile appeared on Bai Yingluo's face.

When the old lady Bai woke up again, on one side of her body, Bai Yingluo was holding an embroidery frame in her left hand, and she was embroidering with flying needles and threads in her right hand. The girl lowered her head slightly, and the soft light of the setting sun poured in from the window. On her body, a touch of elegance and tranquility is projected/exposed.

"Grandma, are you awake?"

Looking back and seeing the old lady Bai staring at her, Bai Yingluo put down the embroidery in her hand, helped her to sit up, turned around and walked to the brocade table, made a bowl of warm tea and brought it over.

"People often say that a daughter is a mother's caring little padded jacket. The ancients never deceived me."

Talking with a smile, the old lady Bai drank a few sips of tea, put down the tea bowl and picked up the half-embroidered work that Bai Yingluo had embroidered, "Is this your handkerchief?"

There is a pair of twin lotuses embroidered on the handkerchief. Although it is the favorite pattern of girls, there are often girls in the middle of the boudoir who embroider it for fun, but if they are not out of the cabinet, no one dares to show it to others.

With a slightly blushed face, Bai Yingluo smiled and said, "Sister Qiuwen embroidered it, and wanted to add makeup to Fourth Sister. Grandma just fell asleep, and Luo'er had nothing to do, so she used it to embroider a few stitches."

The stitches are fine and tight, although only one leaf has been embroidered, but the stretched bright green has already made people look forward to the delicate and charming Bingdilian. The old lady Bai's eyes became softer, and she put the embroidery stretcher back into the embroidery basket beside her. , patted the soft couch and said: "Come and sit next to grandma, let's talk."

"Grandmother is tired of sleeping, right? You turn around, and while we're talking, Luo'er rubs your back..."

Bai Yingluo touched Old Madam Bai's shoulder and said.

With such a caring granddaughter by her side all the time, old lady Bai felt that since yesterday's annoyance had been blocked, it seemed nothing now.

Thinking so, the old lady Bai took a few deep breaths, and let out all the breath that she felt suffocated.

"Grandmother, when will grandfather come back? Luo'er misses his old man a little bit. It rained a few times a while ago, and I don't know if grandfather's leg hurts."

Bai Yingluo asked old lady Bai as she thumped her back with her small fists.

"I guess it's coming soon. The Mid-Autumn Festival will be a family reunion in two decades. He will definitely come back before then."

The old lady Bai laughed.

Old Lord Bai's close friend, Mr. Qi, has passed away. The two were classmates, and they had served in the same court for dozens of years. Their personal friendship is quite deep. letter.

In April, I received a funeral letter from Mr. Qi's home. Regardless of the dissuasion of his wife and children, Mr. Bai insisted on taking someone to Mr. Qi's hometown to see him off. Now, it has been more than three months since he left .

"After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be cold, so I'll make another pair of knee pads for my grandfather. Grandma, do you have a good fox fur there? Would you like to give one to Luo'er?"

Pursing her lips and smiling, Bai Yingluo put her arms around Old Madam Bai's neck, leaned on her shoulders and chuckled.

"If you want fox fur, grandma will give it to you, but it's fine to make knee pads for your grandfather. You have done well in the past few years. Besides, it's not the same as before. You go to the palace every day to accompany the sixth princess to read. It’s almost time for dinner, and when I go back to the house, it will be dark, and doing needlework is the most eye-catching, and grandma won’t allow it.”

The old lady Bai took Bai Yingluo by the hand, and wrapped her in her arms, shaking her like when she was a child.

"It's okay, grandma. I'm coming back earlier this afternoon. I'm still idle. I might as well do something. When my grandfather comes back, I will be happy when I know that grandma has donated the fox fur and Luo'er has brought out her craftsmanship. In case he thinks that no one in the mansion cares about him after leaving the mansion for a few months."

Bai Yingluo's childish words made the old lady Bai laugh heartily.

Ordinary people, 12-year-old children, how can they understand this, but Bai Yingluo will always remember that in the previous life, her father rushed to the market to sell the prey, which only took three to five days, but when he came back, he muttered that there was no one at home. Miss him.

People in the village often say that when people get old, they are like children who need to be coaxed by those around them. Therefore, at this moment when Bai Yingluo spoke like this, the old lady Bai felt very warm in her heart, as if she had gotten that foxy look better than herself. The leather knee pads are generally happy.

After being quiet for a while, the old lady Bai thought about it, she lowered her head and looked at Bai Yingluo who was playing with her sleeves, and asked, "Sister Luo, your second uncle and your fourth uncle are vying to move into Cheng Huan Residence, what are you doing?" Who do you want to move in?"

Cheng Huan's residence also offered tablets of Bai Shiming and Liu Shi, and those two were Bai Yingluo's parents. It was only natural for old lady Bai to ask such a question, but Bai Yingluo's heart suddenly became tense.

If it was said that he hoped that the second room would move into Cheng Huanju, the fourth uncle and fourth aunt would know about it in the future, and they might not feel jealous.

But if you answer the fourth room, the second room has raised her for more than ten years, and if it is spread, people outside will not think that she is innocent, but will think that she is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.

Bai Yingluo suppressed the smile on her face, and asked in a low voice: "Grandmother, what will my father and mother do when they move in? Then there is no room for them in the huge Marquis Mansion?"

The voice was sobbing softly, with a hint of humble fear. When the old lady Bai heard it, her heart twitched slightly.

"That's right, such a big Hou Mansion can't even accommodate a pair of dead people?"

While saying that, the old lady Bai gently stroked Bai Yingluo's back, but there was an inexplicable anger in her eyes.
