Glory all the way

Chapter 47 Lively
After a few days, the Jing'an Marquis Mansion became lively again, because on August 29, Bai Yingying, a concubine from the second house, was going to marry into the Xiao family in Luzhou.

Luzhou is more than three hundred miles away from the capital city, and the carriage will drive all the way, and it will be within ten days. Therefore, when the Xiao Mansion and Jing'an Hou Mansion were discussing their marriage two years ago, they agreed to let Bai Yingying spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at home, on August 29. The Xiao Mansion came to welcome the relatives, and arrived in Luzhou before the auspicious September [-]th, and held the wedding ceremony in the Xiao Mansion.

After returning from the palace on the 26th, Bai Yingluo called Chen Xiang and asked her to bring the gift she had prepared, and the master and servant went to Bai Yingying's place.

"Sixth sister, you are here."

Hearing that the little maid had heard that Bai Yingluo was coming, Bai Yingying stood up to welcome her out.

Since the last time in Qing'an Hall, when Bai Yingluo gave up the water-red twined lotus brocade to Bai Yingying, Bai Yingying has grown fond of Bai Yingluo, and now that Bai Yingluo is very much loved by Lord Bai and Mrs. Bai, Bai Yingying became more and more careful, the two of them talked and laughed freely when they were together, they were more like sisters than Bai Yingyun.

"Fourth sister, the day after tomorrow is the day when you will leave the cabinet. My sister is here to add makeup to my sister."

There is a custom in the middle school, when all the sisters in the family want to leave the court, on the day three days before the wedding, the other sisters have to give gifts and make-up to show the sisterhood, no matter where they are in the future, they will never forget this sisterhood.

Two shy red clouds appeared on Bai Yingying's face, and she thanked softly, "Sister Lao Liu remembers."

Bai Yingluo smiled, turned around and took the brocade box from Chen Xiang's hand and handed it to Bai Yingying.

The box was opened, and there was a pair of emerald jade bracelets, and a bat flower hairpin inlaid with silver and gold-plated jewels.

What is even more surprising is the bat flower hairpin. It looks like a big bat spreading its wings to fly, but when you look closely, you find that there are layers of large and small crawling on the bat's back and wings. There are a lot of them, counting carefully, exactly nine.

Bats are homophonic, which means many children and many blessings, and nine bats naturally have an additional layer of long-lasting meaning, and this bat flower hairpin is immediately exquisite.

Bai Yingying looked at it, and the smile on her face became softer and softer, "Sixth Sister, I'm sorry to bother you, I will remember your kindness in my heart, and in the future, whenever there is... useful to me, my sister can just speak up."

Thinking that even if Bai Yingluo is an orphan, she is the daughter of the Jingan Hou Mansion, and her future wealth will definitely be higher than her own, Bai Yingying hesitated for a while, but she still said it out, although looking at it now, she There is nothing she can do for Bai Yingluo, but who can say what will happen in the future?

Bai Yingluo appreciates this favor very much.

Stepping forward to hold Bai Yingying's hand affectionately, Bai Yingluo said playfully: "Fourth sister's words, my sister listens to the truth, and in the future, when there is a need for fourth sister, fourth sister must not shirk."

"Mmm. Definitely, definitely."

Bai Yingying nodded affirmatively.

While the two were talking, there was another communication sound outside, and Bai Yingyun came.

Immediately, Bai Yingying frantically put away the makeup gift that Bai Yingluo sent, it can be seen that she was often exploited by Bai Yingyun in the past.

Following the raised curtain and entering the door, Bai Yingyun smiled and said, "Yo, the sixth younger sister is also here. Lan Xin Pavilion is far away from here, unexpectedly, the sixth younger sister walks rather quickly."

Seeing that Bai Yingluo bowed her head and remained silent, Bai Yingyun didn't say anything more, turned her head to look at Magpie, pointed to the box she was holding in her hand and said to Bai Yingying, "Fourth sister, this is a makeup gift from my sister. Fourth sister accepts it with a smile." .”

"Fifth Sister, you're being polite."

The makeup gift cannot be refused, Bai Yingying smiled and thanked, and took the box from the magpie.

The box was heavy, and it seemed to be quite heavy.

But when I opened it and took a look, apart from a pair of pearl hairpins and an almost new gold bracelet, the others were small trinkets like sachets and fan pendants, which were not worth much, and it was obvious that Bai Yingyun was tired of playing and didn't want it. of.

Bai Yingying glanced at it, with a gentle expression on her face, closed the lid, and handed the box to the maid to put it away.

Seeing Bai Yingying's expression, she knew that the gift she sent was much lighter than Bai Yingluo's. The expression on Bai Yingyun's face was a little embarrassing, but she pretended not to know, and sat in the room talking for a while , then got up and said goodbye.

Guessing that Bai Yingyun had already returned to the Yunshui Pavilion, Bai Yingluo got up and went straight back to the Lanxin Pavilion.

Entering the palace again on the second day, after the etiquette class was over, Bai Yingluo went to Ninghua Palace and asked for a day off in front of the queen, saying that she would marry Bai Yingying on the 29th.

Early in the morning on the 29th, just after dawn, there was a loud sound of firecrackers outside.

After Bai Yingluo got up, washed and washed, she rushed to Qing'an Hall, had breakfast with Lord Bai and Mrs. Bai, and then followed Bai Yingyun and the others to Bai Yingying's room.

Bai Yingying got up several hours earlier than Bai Yingluo. When Bai Yingluo and her party entered the room, Bai Yingying was already sitting in front of the dressing table in a red wedding dress. Her makeup was exquisite and beautiful, and she was a little more gorgeous than usual.

Beside her, Aunt Qiu, Bai Yingying's biological mother, kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief, her eyes were as red and swollen as walnuts.

"I wish the fourth sister and the fourth brother-in-law live a happy life together and have a precious son early."

"I wish the fourth sister good health, and the husband and wife of the fourth brother sing and sing in harmony with the qin and harp, and have many children and blessings."

"I wish fourth sister..."

After entering the room, several older girls stepped forward and said auspicious words, Bai Yingying nodded her head in thanks, but there were always tears in her eyes.

After chatting and joking for a while, it was noon, and the sound of firecrackers and drums outside became louder and louder, presumably it was people from the Xiao residence who came to welcome their relatives.

The noise was getting closer and closer, and in the yard, the men headed by the young master shouted "close the door" and "hold it hard", thinking that the other party had already brought someone here, and sure enough, the next moment, the other party came from outside the courtyard door. The shouts of people and horses.

For those who were talking about poetry, and those who were talking about moves and martial arts, for a while, the men were fighting with high spirits. After a while, the gate of the courtyard fell, and the young master of Xiao's mansion rushed in with people.

Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, Bai Yingluo hurriedly pulled Bai Yingyun's sleeves and fled to the inner room, while several young ladies, without avoiding suspicion, clapped their hands and clapped their hands and shouted for a red envelope from the new brother-in-law.

The noise stopped abruptly, and the outside suddenly became quiet. Bai Yingyun and Bai Yingluo looked out along the gap in the screen, and saw a man in a red robe striding in.

With a straight face and a slight embarrassment on his cheeks, the man's eyes locked on the newlyweds who had already covered the red hijab as soon as they entered the door.

This man is Xiao Yuan, the eldest son of the second wife of the Xiao family in Luzhou.

There was a sound of "puchi", but no one knew who saw the appearance of the groom and laughed. Everyone in the room laughed, and from time to time, the bold woman made fun of the groom.

Amidst the laughter, Xiao Yuan blushed, leaned over and bowed to the women around him, and under the guidance of Xi Niang, Fang walked out the door with Bai Yingying on the other end of the red ribbon.

Arriving at Qiuranxuan, the second master and the second wife gave a big gift, and the second master and the second wife each spoke a lesson, and then, the couple went to Qing'an Hall to say goodbye to Bai Laohou and Bai Laomaid, and the procession to welcome the bride came out. Passed the gate of Jing'an Hou Mansion.

The sound of blowing and blowing disappeared from the alley, and in the Hou's mansion, the banquet officially kicked off.

"Sixth sister, where are you going?"

Pulling Bai Yingluo's sleeves, Bai Yingyun said with a smile: "The banquet is in the big flower hall in the second entrance, and the ladies' side is the eldest aunt who greets you, why don't you go and see the excitement?"

Thinking of the critical eyes of those ladies looking at her during the Dragon Boat Festival, as if she was not a person, but a Chinese cabbage in a vegetable vendor's basket, Bai Yingluo felt a little guilty in her heart.

Shaking her head, Bai Yingluo raised her hand to break away from Bai Yingyun's grip and said, "Fifth Sister, I won't go there. Grandma feels a little uncomfortable. I'll go to have lunch with her. Fifth Sister, won't you come with me?"

Hearing this, Bai Yingyun curled her lips, as if she was a bit dismissive of Bai Yingluo's behavior of blindly flattering Lord Bai and Mrs. Bai, and when she thought of the whispered warning from the second lady who woke up early, Bai Yingyun let go, turned around and took the maid to Mingming Graceland is gone.

Maybe it's because the weather has changed a bit in the past few days. When she got up early, the old lady Bai's spirit was a little sluggish, and she waited until the couple kowtowed their heads and left the house, the old lady Bai collapsed on the soft couch.

When Bai Yingluo entered the room, Zhao's mother was softly persuading the old lady Bai to eat a little food. Bai Yingluo came forward with a smile, talked and laughed and coaxed the old lady to eat something together.

After dinner, I talked with the old lady for a while, waited until the old lady Bai took the medicine, and seeing that she was not in good spirits, Bai Yingluo got up and went back to the house.

It's the bustling time at Mingya Garden.

The main hall of the Dahua hall is for the male guests who come to the banquet, and the side hall is for the female relatives who came together, the eldest lady and the second lady greeted warmly.

Bai Yingyun sat together with a few ladies who were close friends on weekdays, commenting on each other's new clothes and jewelry, and occasionally talking about other people's right and wrong, and there was a lot of excitement.

After talking and laughing for a while, when Bai Yingyun raised her eyes, she saw a tall and straight young man standing outside the door, who was talking to a servant girl, who nodded, and went into the side hall to run towards Madam Beining , whispered a few words in her ear.

Madam Bei Ningbo nodded, got up and walked outside.

Sitting at Bai Yingyun's angle, she happened to be able to see the man talking to Mrs. Beining with an impatient expression on her face, while Mrs. Beining ordered something with a resentful face. Bai Yingyun suddenly realized that the young man might be the son of Mrs. Beining .

Feeling her heart beating wildly, Bai Yingyun lowered her head in embarrassment, while quietly looking at the ladies beside her, seeing that they didn't notice her at all, Bai Yingyun let out a sigh of relief.

Looking back, the man had disappeared, and Mrs. Bei Ningbo was turning around and walking back.

Thinking of the purple-patterned pendant lying quietly in her dowry box, Bai Yingyun suddenly felt an inexplicable excitement in her heart.

Looking back at her mother who was greeting a group of female relatives behind Xue Shi, Bai Yingyun greeted the ladies around her, stood up and went straight out of the side hall.
