Glory all the way

Chapter 6
Caressing the purple pattern jade in her hand, Bai Yingluo's thoughts drifted away to nowhere.

Bai Yingluo didn't have the slightest impression of the young and promising third master and the virtuous and virtuous third wife who were praised by the whole family. After all, they had already gone when she was born.

Over the years, although she could hear a few words from other people, Bai Yingluo believed from the bottom of her heart that she was the Luo mother of the Bai family from the remote mountain village.

Miss Six of the Jing'an Hou Mansion only got used to it when she grew up.

father, mother...

Silently calling out from the bottom of her heart, what emerged in Bai Yingluo's mind was a pair of old-looking middle-aged men and women. Their clothes were shabby but tidy, and the smiles on their faces were always so kind and warm. When she was a child, she , no matter what grievances you suffer, as long as you see them, you will never feel sad again.

Father would hug the autumn pears she picked from branches, and mother would take out the crispy pastries bought in the market for her to eat, and the brothers and sisters would pretend to be jealous and say that she was the one in the hands of their parents. Bao, turned around, but loved her and protected her even more.

Can't think anymore, can't think anymore...

There was a layer of warmth in her eyes, Bai Yingluo took a few deep breaths, and pretended to drink the warm tea in her hand, while she raised her head and told Liu Su and Liu Ying, "Did you ever hear me tell you when you were watching the night? Have you ever talked in your sleep?"

Looking at each other, Liusu nodded, "Miss has been in poor health since she was a child, and nightmares are a common occurrence. When I was young, I often called my parents to wake up. In recent years, it has become less and less. However, Yanhong said Yes, it seems to be the same thing, but the servant didn't listen very clearly, I don't know what the lady called."

She pursed her lips in embarrassment, and Bai Yingluo instructed softly: "From now on, you should be more vigilant during the night watch. If you hear me talking in your dreams, wake me up as soon as possible. Also, for the night watch, you two will come in rotation from now on. People who are not caring, don't arrange them in the outhouse, lest the partition walls have ears."

"Yes, slaves obey."

The two agreed in unison, and Liuying said with concern: "Miss, this servant feels that neither vigil and waking the lady are the key. This shows that the lady's body has not been well nourished. If it is well, how can these things happen? ? So, the most urgent thing is for the young lady to relax and take good care of her health."

Feeling warm in her heart, Bai Yingluo nodded docilely, "I've made it down, not for anything else, even if it's just for my own size, I should have a good body."

In the past, my young lady was always submissive, like a sick child. This time, it can be seen that she has come to understand.

Immediately, Liusu and Liuying looked at each other and smiled, with some relief in their eyes.

Near noon, Chen Xiang came back from Qing'an Hall.

"Miss Six, the old lady said that a month of self-punishment is really too long. Even if the young lady has such a heart, the old lady can't bear it. She hasn't seen you for several days, so the punishment ends here."

Chen Xiang stood in front of Bai Yingluo and said respectfully.

Bai Yingluo has only been in confinement for six days, although it is still far from a month, but she has already finished copying the one hundred times of "Rules for Women".

Thinking of this, Bai Yingluo replied softly: "Okay, I will go to pay my respects to grandma in the afternoon."

"The servant girl is going down to prepare lunch now."

Bowing down, Chen Xiang made a gesture to go out, but Bai Yingluo raised her voice to stop her, "Sister Chen Xiang stay..."

"Miss Six..."

Chen Xiang turned around and looked at Bai Yingluo.

Standing up, she bowed solemnly to Chen Xiang, but she saw that Chen Xiang's complexion changed slightly and she dodged away, Bai Yingluo stood in front of her and said: "Thank you, sister Chen Xiang, for what happened that day, if not, Yingluo will definitely not Stand here well, if there is something wrong with Yingluo in the future, I hope sister Chen Xiang will point it out."

It has been six days since the incident of framing and framing, and it has been six days since Bai Yingluo punished herself and grounded herself, but these six days, Bai Yingluo seemed to have forgotten it and never mentioned it again, but secretly, she observed Chen Xiang carefully.

It has been more than a year since Chen Xiang came here from Qing'an Hall. She has always treated Bai Yingluo with the same respect as she did to the other young ladies, and even addressed her as "Miss Six" with a touch of alienation.

Bai Yingluo couldn't understand Chen Xiang's actions.

After all, the first-class maids around the old lady are different from the first-class maids around the ladies.

And the first-class maids around the ladies are also different, they are both concubine daughters, and the maids around Bai Yingyun and Bai Yingluo are the same on the surface, but in reality they are quite different.

Taking the present as an example, Chen Xiang is regarded as the first-class maid in Qing'an Hall, and her monthly allowance is one or two taels of silver.

The magpies and pleasant geese around Bai Yingyun, and the tassels and liuyings around Bai Yingluo are also first-class maids. Magpies and pleasurable geese can get a dime, while tassels and liuyings only have [-] coins.

Where did the [-] Wen that was secretly withheld go? For so many years, Bai Yingluo also turned a blind eye and never mentioned it, just pretending not to know.

This is also the real reason why Chen Xiang always regards herself as a maid in Qing'an Hall.

Sometimes, Bai Yingluo would even laugh at herself and think, if Chen Xiang was assigned to be next to other young ladies, maybe she would not be so indifferent and respectful now, would she?

Thinking about it this way, Bai Yingluo trusted Chen Xiang from the bottom of her heart. After all, she was appointed by the old lady Bai, and she has served her with all her heart and soul for more than a year.

"Your servant is just telling the truth, Miss Six is ​​serious."

Although the young ladies in the mansion called her "Sister Chen Xiang", but Chen Xiang knew her identity was different and never dared to take it to heart, but Bai Yingluo's upright salute just now really made her a little embarrassed.

"Sister Chen Xiang, come and sit down, let's talk together, okay?"

Turning around and walking to the side of the soft couch to sit down, Bai Yingluo spoke softly to Chen Xiang.

Knowing that he might not be able to finish talking for a while, Chen Xiang didn't refuse, and directly moved a small bamboo from the side of the screen, and sat at Bai Yingluo's feet not too far away.

"Are you the son of the house?"

Taking a sip of tea to moisten her throat, Bai Yingluo asked softly.

Chen Xiang smiled and nodded, "Yes, the parents of the servants are all in the village of the old lady in the western suburbs of the capital, and the servants have entered the mansion to serve since they were young, and there is also a younger sister who is also in the mansion, working as an errand in the second tea room .”

Something flashed in her heart, Bai Yingluo glanced at Chen Xiang calmly, and then asked: "Aside from saving me from being grounded, what else can grandma say?"

Chen Xiang shook his head and said: "The servant only stayed in front of the old lady for less than a cup of tea, and came out after answering. It was Qiaohui who was next to the old lady looking for the servant, and said that she wanted to make a warm hat for the old lady, so that the servant Help her choose several kinds of silk threads and choose a fancy style, so I was delayed for a while."

Nodding her head and smiling slightly, Bai Yingluo didn't make another sound. After a while, she looked up at Chen Xiang and said, "Sister Chen Xiang, are you 16 years old this year?"

Sure enough, Chen Xiang's expression froze when he heard the words, and all his smiles were suppressed just now, "Yes, this servant is seventeen years old."

No matter whether they have children at home or bought them from outside, they are all slaves after all, and after the age of 20, they will be pulled out to be married, even if Chen Xiang is the first-class maid beside the old lady, there is no exception.

And Chen Xiang still has two years to plan for herself. In the past two years, if she is still the maidservant of the old lady's side, then the old lady will naturally take the lead in her marriage, and she will definitely be the best among the maidservants. .

But if she is still by the side of Bai Yingluo, an unfavored orphan girl, if the old lady forgets, or puts her directly in Bai Yingluo's courtyard, Chen Xiang's future will be in jeopardy.

This is also the reason why Chen Xiang walked to Qing'an Hall diligently, she was always inexplicably worried that one day, she would fall into an unbearable situation, and the sense of detachment that once stood out among the maidservants would be gone forever.

"Sister Chen Xiang, have you thought about the future?"

Asking softly, Bai Yingluo looked at Chen Xiang's pretty face, and her words conveyed the deep concern of master and servant, but she knew that to Chen Xiang's ears, these words must be somewhat ironic.

With a gloomy expression, Chen Xiang shook her head, "The servant girl is a maidservant of the Marquis Mansion, how can she have her own ideas? By the old lady's side, the servant girl will do her best to serve the old lady well. Now that she has come to Yi'an Pavilion, the servant girl will do her duty. Take good care of Miss Six, that's all."

The answer was impeccable, Bai Yingluo sighed inwardly, and she couldn't help showing a bit of sternness when she said it, "Then what if three years later, no, during these three years, the old lady forgot I lost you, or gave you to me, have you ever thought about what will happen in the future?"

Chen Xiang was a little embarrassed when Bai Yingluo uttered the worries in her heart.

But before she could reply, Bai Yingluo continued: "Choose an honest and dutiful servant from the mansion to match you, or let you be my dowry and marry to someone else's house, what do you think? Which one is better? I'm afraid it's not your choice, right?"

At that time, as far as the first-class maids around Bai Yingluo are concerned, what a good husband-in-law Chen Xiang will be able to pick, and in the end it will be nothing more than being honest.

If she was to be the dowry of Bai Yingluo, given the current situation of Bai Yingluo in the Marquis's Mansion, she might not be a good family, so if she followed her, what good would she have to do?

Originally thinking that there were still a few years to go before he could make good plans for himself, but now that Bai Yingluo said so, it seemed that these two possibilities could be realized at any time, Chen Xiang's heart suddenly became a little confused.

After being silent for a while, a gleam of light flashed in Chen Xiang's heart.

Boldly raising her head, Chen Xiang looked at Bai Yingluo and said with a smile: "Then what Miss Six means, which way would it be better for slaves to take?"

The master said that the friendship between people is based on sincerity, and sincerity is exchanged for sincerity, only in exchange for sincere treatment.

Thinking of this, Bai Yingluo slightly opened her red lips, "If I were you, I would either be full of plans for myself, thinking about getting out of the current situation as soon as possible, returning to Qing'an Hall, and being the most beautiful maid beside the old lady. Or , just help, let the people I serve gain a firm foothold in the mansion, and also win some bargaining chips for myself."

Looking at the handsome Bai Yingluo in front of her with a hint of cunning in her eyes, Chen Xiang hesitated.
