Glory all the way

Chapter 38 Oriole
At dinner time, both Mrs. Xue and the second wife could clearly feel that the old lady Bai seemed to relax a lot all of a sudden, holding the youngest sister Hui in a good mood, talking and laughing, completely different from the one who was frowning and frowning during the day. Looks worried.

But he turned around and asked someone secretly, but learned that apart from Bai Yingluo's arrival half an hour earlier than usual, nothing unusual happened during that time, the eyes of Mrs. Xue and the second lady fell on Bai Yingluo calmly.

Seeing that she was just snuggling to the side, and playing with Sister Hui together with Old Madam Bai, there was nothing special about it, the two looked away and looked at each other involuntarily.

When their gazes met halfway, Mrs. Xue glared at the second lady, then glanced aside.

Among the women in this mansion, apart from Old Madam Bai, naturally the wife of Mrs. Xue is the most honorable. Mrs. Xue can stare at the second wife, but the second wife has no courage to stare at Mrs. Xue.

What's more, she plotted against Mrs. Xue that day, even if Mrs. Xue said it, she couldn't find any trace of herself, but after all, there was a guilty conscience at work, so the second lady cleaned her hands silently, and prepared to serve Mrs. Bai to dinner Sit at the table.

The group of people finished their dinner, and the men went to their study rooms. Mrs. Xue, the second wife and the fourth wife sat around the old lady Bai, drinking Xiaoshi tea and talking, but did not mention what happened last night at all.

Bai Yingluo and Bai Yingyun, the two gathered together and whispered together, discussing what to give when Bai Yingying was going to get married after the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and Xue Shi picked up a few things from the house The most important thing is talking to Mrs. Bai, and the house is full of harmony.

Just as she was thinking of getting everyone in the room to disperse, the old lady Bai glanced at the bracelet on Bai Yingyun's wrist.

Mrs. Xue and the second wife followed Mrs. Bai's gaze, and they were immediately surprised and delighted.

The pair of emerald jade bracelets were given to Bai Yingluo by Mrs. Zhou from the Governor's Mansion of Hedong when she came to visit Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Xue in Hou's Mansion during the Chinese New Year.

The reason why I was so impressed was because the pair of bracelets were of excellent water quality, it was a bit expensive to give to a younger generation, but Mrs. Zhou didn't even say that it was nothing serious, and insisted on putting them on Bai Yingluo's wrists.

Afterwards, the old lady Bai looked at it and said that the pair of bracelets was heavier than the annual gift that Governor Zhou brought to the Hou's Mansion. Perhaps, Governor Zhou had originally planned to give gifts and wanted to send the pair of bracelets to the Hou's Mansion.

After hearing what Old Madam Bai had said, Bai Yingluo was really terrified, and was eager to take it off to give to Old Madam Bai, but was stopped by Old Madam Bai.

"It's supposed to be yours, it's always yours, it shouldn't be yours, sooner or later it will fall into someone else's hands. So, since it's given to you, it means that you are destined for this pair of bracelets, so wear them."

These are the original words of old lady Bai that day.

Now, this pair of bracelets was actually seen on Bai Yingyun's wrists. The old lady Bai's eyes flashed, and something seemed to flash in her mind.

Xue was secretly delighted, thinking that the second wife, mother and daughter usually kept Bai Yingluo under control, although he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but now that it has finally fallen into the hands of the old lady Bai, there is no way to end it well. As a result, he finally let out the bad breath he swallowed for nothing the day before yesterday.

But the second madam's heart skipped a beat, secretly regretting that she had not beaten Bai Yingyun recently, which made her bring out Bai Yingluo's things in a grandiose manner.On the one hand, he secretly made up his mind that after returning home, he must take the red gold hair mask that Bai Yingyun got from Bai Yingluo a few days ago and lock it in the cabinet, lest she look at it every day and get carried away wearing it one day. When he went out, he was verbally abused again for no reason.

When I came back to my senses, I heard the old lady Bai ask in a cold voice: "Sister Yun, if I remember correctly, the pair of bracelets on your wrist were given to Sister Luo by the governor's wife last year, right?"

With a tense face, Bai Yingyun raised her head with a stiff neck, first glanced at the second lady, then at the old lady Bai, nodded and said: "Grandmother, it belongs to the sixth sister. I praised her for looking good, and the sixth sister said Lend me to wear it for a few days."

Taking a deep look at Bai Yingyun, the old lady remained silent.

When the second lady saw her, she scolded Bai Yingyun with a smile, "You've been wearing it for a few days, now, isn't the freshness gone? Why don't you return it to your sister soon?"

As early as when Mrs. Zhou gave the bracelet to Bai Yingluo, everyone in the whole family knew that Miss Six had obtained a rare and expensive treasure. Therefore, when Bai Yingyun got it from Bai Yingluo, Second Madam was very happy. .

At this moment, the flesh was about to spit out, the second wife felt like a knife was piercing her heart, and Bai Yingyun was not much better.

Reluctantly, she took it off her wrist, and Bai Yingyun clasped it on the brocade table next to Bai Yingluo as if exasperated, and said calmly, "Sixth sister, I will return it to you now."

In this way, even if the old lady Bai is a fool, she can be sure of what happened, and all the speculations that flashed in her mind just now are all taken seriously.

"Sister Luo, my grandmother told you that day that this pair of bracelets is priceless and really rare. Since you don't wear them, put them here with my grandmother, who will keep them for you and give them to you when you get married. "

Said softly, with an unquestionable affirmation in the words, the old lady Bai looked up at Qiu Wen, Qiu Wen pulled out a silk handkerchief from her waist, stepped forward and wrapped the pair of bracelets in the silk handkerchief, turned and entered the inner room , Come to think of it, it was put in old lady Bai's dowry box.

"Let's go away..."

The old lady Bai waved her hand.

Sighing a little dejectedly, the second lady stood up behind Xue Shi, and walked out with Bai Yingyun.

After walking a few steps, the old lady Bai called Bai Yingluo and said: "Sister Luo, I remember that the sixth princess gave you a lot of jewelry a few days ago, which is so eye-catching. You little girls usually bring a gauze Silk flowers, emerald jade hairpins and so on are very good, those gold and silver jewels are tacky to wear, let Chen Xiang carry them over in a while, and grandma will keep them for you."

Immediately, the second lady and Bai Yingyun's hearts sank.

"Yes, Chen Xiang will send it in a while."

Bai Yingluo glanced at the second lady and Bai Yingyun cautiously, seeing that they glanced away to avoid suspicion, Fang pretended to shrink back and responded in a low voice.

The second lady and Bai Yingyun escaped out of the gate of Qing'an Hall.

After Bai Yingluo returned to Yi'an Pavilion and sat there for a while, Magpie came to the door with a little maid. They each held a brocade box in their arms, which were valuable jewelry that Bai Yingyun had stripped from Bai Yingluo's hands in the past few years.

It was originally given to Bai Yingyun, but she never thought that there would be a day when she would come back. At this moment, these things are clearly shining in front of her eyes, and Bai Yingluo's face seems to be shining with a layer of golden joy from those dazzling jewelry. .

On the side, Chen Xiang and Liusu Liuying saw it, and their eyes were full of joy.

Carefully put it away, took the brocade box and put it in the hands of Chen Xiang and Liu Ying, Bai Yingluo said jokingly: "It's getting dark, watch your step carefully, if this box is smashed, if you cry, don't worry?" People coax you to go."

Nodding her head and answering repeatedly, Chen Xiang and Liu Ying went out, Liu Su leaned over and said with emotion: "Miss said a word that day, what should be ours is ours, and others can't take it away, it shouldn't be ours." Yes, if you stick to it, there will be a day when you will lose it. Now, Miss and Fifth Miss, they really obeyed this sentence."

Playfully scratching her tasseled nose, Bai Yingluo stood up and walked towards the bed and said, "Second Aunt and Fifth Sister may not be able to sleep tonight."

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. By the end of July, several ice sculptures have been placed in Xinlan Pavilion. However, before the course is over, all the ice sculptures have turned into a puddle of water in a copper basin, making people sweat profusely It's greasy and uncomfortable.

As a result, in the embroidery class and chess class in the afternoon, the girls were a little sleepy.

Perhaps the sixth princess complained in front of the queen, but the queen softened, thinking that the sixth princess was married to Da'an country to be the queen, and her chess skills are decent, and it is good to be able to spend time with the king of Da'an country. Embroidery has its own embroidery skills Mother, there is no need for the sixth princess to do anything, the queen issued an order to skip the afternoon class, and wait until the weather is cooler before continuing.

Upon hearing the news, the girls all cheered.

From the beginning of August, Bai Yingluo could return to Yi'an Pavilion before lunch.

After resting for a while, went to Qing'an Hall to accompany old lady Bai to have lunch, and returned to Yi'an Pavilion to take a nap and get up, Bai Yingluo had a whole afternoon to spend freely.

Taking a break, he made a bijia for Mrs. Xue, and Bai Yingluo went to Mingya Garden with her.

Just when she was waking up and changing clothes, Xue Shi called her servant girl to serve her and tried it on. She was not too big or too small. It's not so suitable, you child, you didn't come out of my belly, but it seems to be more caring than the one from my belly."

Instructed the servant girl to fetch some pieces of brightly colored material, and took them back for Bai Yingluo to make some new dresses for herself. Xue Shi led Bai Yingluo to sit down, and said with a sighing face: "Accordingly, it is not appropriate for my aunt to say that. If you say otherwise, you might be suspected of provoking. However, when you think that you are the only one left in the third room, and your uncles and uncles are still thinking about the yard that should belong to you, the eldest aunt feels very uncomfortable for you. "

On the way before coming here, Bai Yingluo was still thinking about how to bring the topic to Cheng Huanju, but she couldn't think of it. At this moment, Mrs. Xue had spontaneously opened her mouth. Bai Yingluo was happy in her heart, but her face was covered with a layer of sadness "Eldest aunt's sympathy for Yingluo, Yingluo knows. But now, there's nothing I can do. I just ask my grandfather to come back and make the decision. Whether it's the second uncle's family or the fourth uncle's family moving into Chenghuanju, the tablet of father and mother can have a good life." Where to go, Yingluo can also comfort their spirits in heaven."

As she spoke, it seemed that the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, Bai Yingluo burst into tears.

Xue took out the veil to wipe away Bai Yingluo's tears, and sighed one after another.

Suddenly remembered something, the expression on Bai Yingluo's face paused.

When Xue saw it, she asked with concern: "Sister Luo, what's the matter?"

Bai Yingluo said with hesitation, "It's a disrespectful sentence, Yingluo dare not say it."

"You child, we mother and daughter, and there are no outsiders, what can't we say?"

Said resentfully, Xue Shi affectionately squeezed Bai Yingluo's face.

Bai Yingluo's eyes flickered, and she lowered her voice and said, "Whoever the second uncle or fourth uncle moves into Chenghuanju, it may be troublesome in the future."

Bai Shizhong, the prince of Jing'an Hou, has been in office for more than 20 years. When the old Marquis returns, it will not be long before he will go to heaven to ask for the title to be passed on to Bai Shizhong.

At that time, Bai Shizhong will be the Marquis of Jing'an, and Bai Jinyuan, the eldest son of Bai Shizhong and Xue's son, will be the heir of the Marquis of Jing'an as a matter of course.

When Lord Bai and Mrs. Bai go back, one of Bai Shizhong and Bai Jinyuan will move into Qing'an Hall. At that time, the dignified Lord Hou, or the son of Jing'an Hou, will he be with the second wife or the second wife? Is it people with four houses crowded in one yard?

Wouldn't it be ridiculous to spread this out?

For a while, it was Xue's turn to be stunned.
