Glory all the way

Chapter 7 Mind

"Liusu, if you were Chen Xiang, would you choose to go back to Qing'an Hall, or stay with Miss?"

Looking up at the tassels embroidered with handkerchiefs, Liu Ying kicked her with her elbow.

After a pause, Liusu thought about it seriously, "If I were Chen Xiang, I would do my best as I do now, and make a few more trips to Qing'an Hall diligently all day long, trying to return to the old lady's side sooner."

"why?"

Seemingly guessing the wrong answer to Liusu, Liuying asked with some puzzlement.

Gazing at her, Liusu said softly: "The big maid next to the old lady, how beautiful is that? Besides, Chen Xiang is still a son of the Hou's family, and he will have a promising future."

She curled her lips in disdain, and Liuying had another way of saying, "If it were me, I would rather stay with Miss. In the future, as Miss's dowry, she will be Miss's right-hand man, isn't it better than being in the Hou's mansion?"

"Then what if the young lady does not marry well? Who can tell what will happen in the future?"

Liu Su's indifferent words stunned Liu Ying.

And Bai Yingluo, who was quietly listening to the two maids, sat up on the soft couch, "So, everything depends on herself. Who can tell what will happen in the future?"

After all, Bai Yingluo blinked playfully.

Yesterday, after tentatively asking Chen Xiang a few words, she hesitated a little, Bai Yingluo didn't urge her, but only told her to think slowly, and then reply when she thinks about it.

If she only wanted to go back to the old lady of Qing'an Hall to serve her, then she would not have to worry about the affairs of Yi'an Pavilion in the future.

The implication is that Chen Xiang has nothing to do with Yi'an Pavilion whether it is good or bad in the future.

But, is it really that good when you are by Old Madam Bai's side?

It is no longer a matter of a day or two for the second master to miss Chen Xiang. For this reason, the second master begged in front of the old lady Bai several times with a shy face, but thinking that Chen Xiang was still young and caring on weekdays, so the old lady Bai I didn't answer him.

And this is no secret in the Jing'an Hou Mansion. Now, only the second wife is kept in the dark. When other people see Chen Xiang, they all have mysterious smiles on their faces, as if Chen Xiang will definitely be by the second master's side in the future. A concubine is average.

Not to mention how many years old lady Bai can live, as long as Chen Xiang stays in Qing'an Hall for one day, every time the second master sees her, he will miss it in his heart, how long can Chen Xiang last with the old lady's love for her?
Although the servant girl is only married after 20 years old, if the second master keeps begging, the old lady Bai will never make the second master unhappy just because of a maid.

This is also the reason why Bai Yingluo is sure that Chen Xiang will not put all his thoughts on Qing'an Hall.

"Miss is awake?"

He got up and went to the brocade table to make a cup of tea, and Tassel brought it to Bai Yingluo.

"Get up and go to Qing'an Hall to greet grandma."

After taking a few sips of tea, she handed the tea bowl back to Liu Su, and Bai Yingluo lifted off the thin quilt on her body, put on her shoes and got off the ground.

After cleaning her face and getting dressed again, Bai Yingluo got up and was about to go out when she heard outsiders' voices in the yard.

The curtain of the house was raised, it was Wang Hui's house, the daughter-in-law who was in charge of Mrs. Xue's side.

"My servant has seen Miss Six."

After bowing down and saluting, Wang Hui's family member cut to the chase and said: "My maidservant, come and ask, how many maidservants do you want Miss Six to have here? If so, when Miss Six is ​​free, this servant will bring someone here."

According to the rules of the Hou Mansion, there is one first-class maid, two second-class maids, four third-class maids, and four more who do menial work in the yard.

And the Yan Hong who betrayed the water before was the third-class maid in Yi'an Pavilion. Because of Yan Hong, several young maids in Yi'an Pavilion were dragged for interrogation, and those who were finally sold were sold, and those who were expelled were expelled. Let's go, now, Yi'an Pavilion seems much deserted.

Frowning slightly and thinking for a while, Bai Yingluo smiled at Wang Hui's family and said, "Auntie Lao is thinking about it. Now, although there are a few vacancies for maidservants in my room, it's not a big deal after all. , Wait until the mansion is filled with people before the year before, and add them together, so don't waste a lot of trouble for me alone."

Wishing to act like this, Wang Hui's family didn't show it at all, and nodded respectfully in response, Wang Hui's family said with an apologetic smile: "After all, it is Miss Six, who knows that our wife is very busy on weekdays, and also sympathizes with us servants. The servant girl will go back and answer, if Miss Six wants to employ someone, the servant girl will immediately bring someone to choose for the young lady."

Nodding her head, Bai Yingluo turned her head to look at Tassel, who handed over a pouch containing broken silver, and sent Wang Hui's family out with a smile on her face.

"Miss, there are already three vacancies in our house compared to the other ladies. If you don't choose your own person, they will enter the house again later. Our Yi'an Pavilion, but a little There are no more secrets."

Probing her head to see that Wang Hui's family had gone far away, Liuying hurried back to Bai Yingluo and muttered.

Smiling and shaking her head, Bai Yingluo looked back at Liuying, "People who care about themselves? I only care about myself, only you and Liusu. And this Yi'an Pavilion has never had any secrets, never before, and never in the future." There will be."

Confused, Liu Ying didn't ask any further questions, followed her lady out the door, and went straight to Qing'an Hall.

"Your Yi'an Pavilion is really deserted. It's time to pick a few people. It's not as shabby as the lady around you. There are only a few servants serving and messing around..."

Although the words were resentful, the corners of the eyes and brows of the old lady Bai were full of doting, and Bai Yingluo's heart was full of warmth, but she lowered her head and replied softly: "Grandmother and eldest aunt are good to Luo'er, Luo'er understands in her heart Yes. It's just that I'm used to being quiet on weekdays, and I'm not used to having a few more people suddenly, so let's just let it go and wait until a year ago."

"The little girl comes from every family, but she likes to be quiet like an old woman like grandmother..."

Smiling cheerfully, the old lady Bai raised her voice and asked Mother Zhao to come in and asked: "A few days ago, didn't you ask for a favor and wanted to bring your little granddaughter into the house? Bring me back to see if it is a You're smart and lovable, so I'll serve Sister Luo next to her from now on."

"Thank you, old lady, for your kindness."

She bowed down and bowed to Old Madam Bai, Mother Zhao stood up and smiled at Bai Yingluo, "The old slave's little granddaughter is called Xiaoxiu, she is ten years old this year, and she can do things quickly. Miss kowtow."

Mother Zhao is the dowry maid of Mrs. Bai, and she is the most calm and kind person. However, hearing that she is her granddaughter, Bai Yingluo was already somewhat satisfied, and immediately nodded with a smile.

After staying in Qing'an Hall for dinner, Bai Yingluo returned to Yi'an Pavilion.

When they entered the courtyard, they saw two maidservants with embarrassing faces standing timidly under the eaves of the verandah. Seeing Bai Yingluo come in, the two hurriedly knelt down, "My servant Bi Mo/Lan Yan has seen Miss Six."

After looking suspiciously at the two of them, Bai Yingluo stepped into the room, "Come in and talk."

Sitting on the edge of the soft couch, drinking the digesting tea that Liu Su handed over, Bai Yingluo looked at the two and asked, "Who are you?"

"The servant, Bi Mo, is the servant girl in the study of the young master. The young mistress ordered the servant to come to Yi'an Pavilion to serve Miss Six."

A tall maidservant in green clothes whispered back.

Raising her eyebrows, Bai Yingluo's eyes slid across her face calmly, looking at the round-faced girl in pink beside Bimo.

"The servant, Lan Yan, is Ruo Huaxuan's sweeping maid. The second lady said that Miss Six lacked a maid, so she sent a servant."

The maid in pink said loudly.

Everyone has been sent here, so it's not easy to send them back, Bai Yingluo waved her hands, "From now on, you will serve outside, if you have anything to do, just come and look for tassels and warblers, go down and have a rest."

Bi Mo and Lan Yan followed Tassel down and settled down.

Originally thinking that the courtyard would be quieter with fewer people, but now it is full again, Bai Yingluo shook her head helplessly, and leaned back on the soft couch.

Just when she was about to close her eyes, Chen Xiang's voice sounded from outside the screen, "Miss, my servant Chen Xiang."

Hearing that her address was different from the past, Bai Yingluo's lips curled into a faint smile, which disappeared in an instant, "Come in."

"Bi Mo and Lan Yan, have you seen them? Tomorrow, Mother Zhao's granddaughter will also come to Yi'an Pavilion. By then, these three maidservants will be considered to be in our yard. What's the matter with running errands? You tell them to do it."

Bai Yingluo ordered softly.

"Yes, the slave has written it down."

After Chen Xiang finished speaking, the inner room suddenly became quiet, it seemed that even the whirling of leaves outside the window could be heard.

Seeing that Bai Yingluo did not make a sound, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Chen Xiang's face.

"Miss, this servant has figured it out."

Looking up at Bai Yingluo steadily, Chen Xiang's face showed a trace of apprehension.

"Oh? Come and listen..."

Bai Yingluo sat up straight.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, it is the greatest honor for a slave to serve beside the old lady of Qing'an Hall. I will not miss it, slave..."

While speaking, Chen Xiang looked at Bai Yingluo, and saw that there was no anger or anger on her face, Chen Xiang's breath was a little disordered, and gradually settled down, "People go to high places, and water flows to low places. One day in Ange, he will regard Miss Six as his only master and plan everything for Miss Six. But, once, once..."

"Once you find out that I am not a good lord, you will choose a tree to live in, right?"

Bai Yingluo took Chen Xiang's words and said.

Biting her lips tightly, Chen Xiang looked at Bai Yingluo with complicated eyes and nodded.

"Chen Xiang, thank you for your frankness."

Feeling emotional in her heart, Bai Yingluo let out a long sigh.

As Chen Xiang, no matter who she said this in front of, she would not get any favors, but no matter how hesitant or nervous, she finally said it in front of Bai Yingluo.

Regardless of what will happen in the future, Chen Xiang's open and honest trust is enough to prove that this is a good start.

Thinking like this, Bai Yingluo responded straightforwardly: "Okay, I agree."

Seeing that Chen Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, Bai Yingluo said confidently: "Chen Xiang, I promise, you will not be disappointed."
