Glory all the way

Chapter 74 Perseverance
Snowflakes flew all over the sky like goose feathers, and within half an hour, the outside was completely white.

In the main room of Beiningbo's second entrance, Mrs. Beiningbo looked at Lin Zhimei who had just returned from the palace and asked, "What did the empress say? Did you go to see the empress Lan?"

Smiling, Lin Zhimei took the hot tea from the maid and put it in her mother's hand, Fang obediently replied: "The Empress is always kind to her daughter, and what she said was what she usually said, except If you want to learn the rules and etiquette, what else can you do? As for Concubine Lan..."

Lin Zhimei suppressed her smile, "My daughter went to Chuxiu Pavilion, but the maid said that Concubine Lan is not feeling well and has already rested."

Hearing this, Madam Bei Ning's face also sank.

Thinking of how many times my daughter went to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects, and she always looked lonely when she came back, and hearing about the harsh treatment she received when she was learning the rules from the nuns in Shoukang Palace, both Uncle Beining and his wife knew that this was passed down earlier. He had accumulated grievances, but now he innocently implicated his daughter.

It is obvious to all that Concubine Lan likes Dou Xiuzhu and sisters, but after all her daughter is also the daughter of the Beiningbo Mansion, so Concubine Lan sees people serving food like this, which is really a bit hateful.

Although there was some resentment in her heart, Mrs. Bei Ningbo saw that Lin Zhimei's face was a little apprehensive, so she put her thoughts away and coaxed her into her arms: "The saints have said that no gold is pure, and no one is perfect. Your Majesty It goes without saying that Empress and Empress like you, even the prince's heart is on you, that's the most important thing, we can't expect other people to like you too, you know?"

After hearing what her mother said, Lin Zhimei nodded shyly.

For women, before they get married, they are loved by thousands of people, but once they are married, only their parents-in-law and their husband-in-law should be valued. As long as they are on their side, other people will not like themselves, and they will Why not?
What's more, Prince...

Thinking of the vows they had made before, Lin Zhimei's cheeks became warmer, and all the anxiety caused by Lan Fei's neglect was completely forgotten.

"Where's your brother? I just came here, and I looked at him as if he wasn't very happy. What's the matter?"

When she came back to her senses, thinking of her son's distraught look just now, but pretending nothing happened, Mrs. Beining looked at her daughter suspiciously and asked.

Breathing stagnantly, Lin Zhimei curled her lips and said with a resentful expression: "My brother's temperament, mother, don't you know? In such a cold day, I asked him to ride in a carriage with me. He insisted on Riding a horse, he probably caught a cold from the cold wind, and he was afraid that we would find out and laugh at him, so he pretended to be nonchalant."

"Speak ill of him behind his back, be careful when he finds out and deal with you."

Stretching out her finger and gouging out Lin Zhimei's finger, Mrs. Bei Ningbo said dotingly, but at the same time, she ordered the maid to go to the kitchen to bring a bowl of ginger soup to Lin Zhiyu's room.

"Mom, let me go..."

Excitedly taking up the errand, Lin Zhimei left the main room, the curtain was lowered, and a regretful self-blame immediately appeared on Lin Zhimei's face.

Went to Lin Zhiyu's room, but didn't see anyone else, Lin Zhimei knew that he was in the study as soon as he thought about it, and ordered a few maids not to make a fuss to let his mother know, Lin Zhimei turned to the study.

Pushing open the study door, there was a faint smell of alcohol. Lin Zhiyu was lying on his back on the soft couch, staring blankly at the beams of the room.

"Brother, look at your appearance, mother will be worried when she sees it, get up quickly, don't drink..."

Putting the jug on the kang table aside, and beckoning the maids to put them away, Lin Zhimei shook Lin Zhiyu's arm and said angrily.

Glancing at Lin Zhimei, Lin Zhiyu simply turned over and closed his eyes. Lin Zhimei sat aside helplessly, with an angry look on his face, "If I had known, I shouldn't have come up with such a horrible idea. The bad brother has become like this. Sure enough, Bai Yingluo is not a sensible person..."

The door of the study room had already been closed, and at this moment the brother and sister were talking, but no one heard outside, so Lin Zhiyu immediately sat up and rolled Lin Zhimei's eyes.

Knowing that now is an extraordinary period, whether it is in the palace or in the capital, the words of Bai Yingluo seducing Beining Bo's son are spreading everywhere, if Lin Zhimei's words just got out, it will confirm Bai Yingluo's reputation, Lin Zhimei Zhiyu hurriedly got up and opened the study door to look around.

There was no one around, so Lin Zhiyu let out a sigh of relief, and when he turned around and sat down, he gave Lin Zhimei another white look, "If you don't know, don't talk nonsense, you are also a daughter's family, so naturally you know that such things are unacceptable, don't you still Do you think her situation is more difficult than before?"

Sticking out her tongue playfully, Lin Zhimei showed the cuteness of a little girl, "It's not a big deal yet, my brother feels sorry for the beautiful woman, it's hard to say."

Seeing Lin Zhiyu's face darken, Lin Zhimei didn't dare to say any more, stood up and picked up the teapot on the copper stove, brewed a bowl of hot tea and handed it to Lin Zhiyu.

The siblings sat quietly for a while, and Lin Zhiyu's expression eased a little. Lin Zhimei noticed it, and asked cautiously, "Brother, what did Yingluo say? Just now, Cainiang asked about her appearance, but luckily I was quick-witted and covered it up for you."

Pursing his lips and remaining silent, another layer of smoke accumulated in Lin Zhiyu's eyes, and there was some unresolved melancholy.

"Brother, tell me quickly, I'm really anxious... If you don't say anything, I won't say anything to you in the future..."

The two brothers and sisters have been close since they were young, and they would share any whispers with each other. Seeing Lin Zhiyu's appearance of doing everything by himself, Lin Zhimei threatened in a hurry.

Shaking his head helplessly, Lin Zhiyu looked up at his sister, and said with a wry smile, "She said, she... already has someone she likes."

"what?"

Calling out without a sound, Lin Zhimei looked surprised, but immediately muttered in disbelief: "Since she was young, Yingluo has a weak body and has never appeared in front of people. Now that she is older, it is even more difficult to see her." She's a foreigner, and she can actually have someone in her heart? Brother, haven't you been fooled by her?"

With a dazed expression, Lin Zhiyu froze on the spot.

After a while, infinite joy burst out of his eyes, Lin Zhiyu said excitedly: "I knew that she lied to me, I knew..."

"Brother, in fact, what Yingluo is thinking, I am also a daughter, so I can probably think of it. In fact, I think she is right. Otherwise, you should give up. Not to mention others, neither father nor mother will agree. This is a family matter."

With Bai Yingluo's current status, although her appearance is bright and glamorous, she is the daughter of the Jing'an Hou's mansion, but when the old master Bai and the old lady Bai passed away, Bai Yingluo lost even the last layer of support. Her uncle, brothers and sisters in the family are not direct relatives, once something happens, she has no support behind her.

Thinking so, Lin Zhimei carefully looked at Lin Zhiyu's face and said.

Unhappy, Lin Zhimei gave Lin Zhimei a sideways glance, and Lin Zhiyu lazily lay back on the soft couch, but there was an unquestionable determination in his words, "A man stands upright, so he naturally wants to shelter his relatives from the wind and rain. What kind of skill is it if you only want to use the strength of others to strengthen yourself?"

After that, as if talking to himself, a gentle smile appeared on Lin Zhiyu's lips, "If she is willing, I will protect her well and not let her suffer any more grievances..."

One sentence was so plain that even Lin Zhimei was sitting beside her, and she couldn't hear it clearly.

On the other side, Bai Yingluo returned to Yunrou Hall, and saw that the sixth princess was still asleep, with a warm and contented smile on her face, Bai Yingluo told Lihua a few words, and waited until the servant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to pass the palace car After getting ready, Bai Yingluo stood up and left the Yunrou Palace, and returned to Jing'anhou Mansion by car.

After changing clothes and freshening up, I went to Qing'an Hall, and I saw that Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Xue both looked beaming.

After saying a few words, Mrs. Xue left. Bai Yingluo got up and leaned next to the old lady Bai and asked, "Grandmother, what's the big deal? Are the eldest aunt and second aunt coming back for the New Year?"

The old lady Bai's two daughters have both married out of town, and it is rare to come back.

The old lady Bai shook her head, caressing Bai Yingluo's head and said, "I don't know what kind of marriage my grandma's sister Luo will find in the future."

For no reason, her own marriage was involved, and Bai Yingluo couldn't help blushing. At the side, the old lady Bai sighed softly, and Fang Youyou said: "In the daytime, someone came to propose a marriage. It's your fifth sister."

With a dark breath in her heart, Bai Yingluo smiled and said, "Then grandma agrees?"

"Silly girl……"

The old lady Bai said angrily: "She has an old man and a mother, and her parents have to decide about the marriage. How can there be any reason for grandma to take it over?"

After finishing speaking, she seemed to feel that these words were inappropriate, and for fear of making Bai Yingluo sad, the old lady Bai held her in her arms and said, "Good boy, don't worry, grandpa and grandma will definitely protect you and find you It is a good marriage, otherwise, we will not feel at ease even if we come to the underground in the future."

"grandmother……"

The old man is like a child, he has mood swings, afraid of making her sad again, Bai Yingluo said with a smile: "Grandfather and grandmother will live a long life, Luo'er will be well, and will be happy in the future. You have to wait to hug your grandson."

After speaking, the old lady Bai laughed again, and the topic of the grandparents and grandchildren turned to the upcoming New Year's Eve.

In Qiu Ranxuan, there was no such harmony. The second master looked at Bai Yingyun who was shivering in the arms of the second lady with a livid face, and became more and more angry. He lifted the tea bowl on the table and smashed it hard. on the ground.

"Children's marriage has been the order of parents and matchmakers since ancient times. If you are a daughter, you can't be a female celebrity in the inner house, and come here to say whether you will marry or not. How decent is it? If you are so unruly, you will be punished from now on." From now on, you will be banned from Yunshui Pavilion, and you are not allowed to step out of the courtyard door before leaving the pavilion..."

The second master's words are naturally a bit heavy, but after all, he is out of anger, so there are so many scruples.

On the side, Bai Yingyun's expression changed instantly.

Standing up and staring angrily at the second master, Bai Yingyun said sharply: "You don't want to cling to his family so that you can find a good official position for you. Have you ever thought about your daughter's happiness? If you don't marry, I won't even marry if you die. If you force me, I will twist my hair and become my sister-in-law..."

"Yun'er..."

As soon as the second lady stopped her words, there was a "pop" in her ear.

Looking up again, Bai Yingyun's face already had a clear slap print with five fingers all red.
