Glory all the way

Chapter 76
Back at Jing'anhou Mansion, everyone in the family knew about it, and even the old man at the porter had a beaming face, as if he had received a big face.

In Qing'an Hall, Qiuwen and Qiuyue opened the scroll, Old Master Bai and Mrs. Bai looked at it, their faces were filled with satisfaction, and when they looked at Bai Yingluo, their eyes softened a bit.

"I originally thought that it would be fine as long as it doesn't cause any trouble when entering the palace, but now, it's a pleasant surprise. Our sister Luo is indeed a good child."

As if Bai Yingluo was a young child, the old lady Bai dotingly wrapped her in her words and shook her.

On the side, Old Master Bai's eyes lingered on the word "Lan Xin", and sighed with emotion: "Shiming named the Lan Xin Pavilion for that courtyard that day. I think it's because I hope that my daughter Hui will have a beautiful heart and grow up in the future." She has become a dignified and gentle girl, and now, Sister Luo has lived up to her parents' expectations."

When mentioning her son who died young, the old lady Bai also suppressed her smile, nodding her head again and again, her eyes full of pain.

Feeling disappointed, Bai Yingluo shook her grandmother's arm and said, "Grandmother, starting tomorrow, I won't have to get up early to enter the palace. Then, I will be able to talk with grandma every day. Grandmother, let's erase the cards tomorrow." Okay, okay? Last time my sister-in-law won two dice from me, so grandma has to help me win it back."

Knowing that Bai Yingluo was changing the subject and not wanting to immerse herself in sadness, the old lady Bai took a few deep breaths, calmed down and complied, while ordering Qiuwen and the others to keep the rewards that Bai Yingluo had received intact. He hurriedly sent it back to Lanxin Pavilion, especially for the calligraphy inscribed by the empress himself, he carefully reminded him a little bit.

For Mrs. Bai, the preciousness of that calligraphy is needless to say, and it may be helpful for Bai Yingluo to talk about her marriage in the future.

During dinner, everyone looked at Bai Yingluo in different ways.

Jing'anhou and Xue's faces were full of joy, and they were happy that Bai Yingluo had earned face for Jing'anhou's mansion so obediently, while the second master and second wife seemed to have been slapped in public, He lowered his head and stuffed the rice into his mouth, not daring to make a sound.

What was lost from Bai Yingyun's hand, Bai Yingluo picked it up, not only picked up the lost face, but also added a lot of brilliance, which made them feel ashamed and uncomfortable more than anything else.

On the other hand, Bai Yingyun didn't seem to feel anything wrong at all, instead she glared at Bai Yingluo angrily, as if Bai Yingluo had snatched the job to accompany her.

Adults and children have different thoughts, old master Bai and old lady Bai saw it, and shook their heads helplessly, but they didn't say anything after all.

After the meal, everyone in each room went back, and in the main room of Qing'an Hall, there were only old master Bai, old lady Bai, and the second master left.

"Your father and I both think that the marriage in Uncle Zhongshan's mansion is very good. Why, is your wife dissatisfied?"

The second lady is a very powerful person, she will rush to get close to anyone or something that is helpful to the second room, if nothing good happens, she will walk away as soon as possible.

At this moment, seeing her son's embarrassed face, he cowered and didn't know how to speak, the old lady Bai asked with a sneer on her face, and immediately, the second master's face swelled like a purple eggplant.

"Mother, it's... it's Yun'er who doesn't want to. After all, it's about our daughter's lifelong happiness. As parents, we can't force it. After all, the son of Uncle Zhongshan doesn't have a good reputation in the capital."

I just feel the bitterness in my heart, when the second master speaks, he feels the pain like Coptis chinensis in his mouth.

In his opinion, being able to get married to Uncle Zhongshan's mansion is a blessing in his previous life. Once Bai Yingyun marries, she will be a concubine. up.

But helplessly, Bai Yingyun has been spoiled since she was a child. A few days ago, seeing that she was a little loose, she went to Qiu Ranxuan with a pair of scissors sideways, and said that if she really ended up with this marriage, she would immediately go back to the house and hang herself from the beam.

What about the second master and the second lady?

Even if it can be defended for a while now, but there are still two years away from Bai Yingyun and Ji, so can they still send people to watch them all the time?

Although I get angry when I think about it, it is my daughter after all, and the second master has no choice but to give up this marriage.

"Fortunately, Uncle Zhongshan's mansion just has this intention. Send someone to find out, and just use any excuse to resist it. If someone sends a middleman to propose a marriage, this time, our Jing'an Hou Mansion will not take it. People are offended to death..."

Not without complaining, the old lady Bai gave the second master a sideways look, "Since it's about your second wife, then you should refuse it yourself, lest your elder brother and sister-in-law follow suit."

Without the expected reprimand, the second master heaved a sigh of relief and sat for a while. Seeing that the old master Bai and the old lady Bai had no more instruction, he got up and went back to Qiu Ranxuan.

After entering the room, seeing the happy expression on the second wife's face counting the bank notes, the second master's expression suddenly turned pale.

After reprimanding the second wife sharply, still feeling pain like a missing piece in his heart, the second master turned around and went out, and went straight to the study.

Inside the room, although the second wife also had some regrets, she comforted herself and said: "The son of Uncle Zhongshan has a romantic nature, so let's not end this marriage, so as not to harm Yun'er's life."

The maidservants knew that their wife was temperamental, so they didn't dare to answer, so they just let her talk for a while.

On the second day, Bai Yingluo slept comfortably, and when she got up, the room was already bright, and the room exuded a faint fragrance of plum, which was indescribably peaceful.

In the yard, a few maidservants had finished their tasks, kicking shuttlecock together, counting ten to five happily, Bai Yingluo heard it in the house, and her heart itch.

After washing and grooming, she went to the courtyard without makeup and played with the maids for a while. Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Bai Yingluo changed her clothes and went to Qing'an Hall.

In the afternoon, the old lady Bai took Bai Yingluo, together with the fourth wife and the eldest wife Jia Shi, they played the leaf card.

Finally, she didn't have to get up early and go to bed late every day. Bai Yingluo was very happy for a while, but looking back, there was no sixth princess by her side, so it was a bit less fun. Bai Yingluo couldn't help but miss the beauty of the past six months Time to come.

In a blink of an eye, the footsteps of the New Year's Eve are getting closer.

On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, Emperor Jiayuan sealed it, and all civil and military officials no longer had to go to court to discuss matters. The hawkers on the street were even more enthusiastic about selling. The whole capital was filled with deep joy. Everyone was looking forward to Jiayuan. The arrival of 17 years.

After taking a nap and getting up, Xiangzhu came back and said that there was a guest in Qing'an hall, and it was old lady Bai who was on good terms with her on weekdays, and they were sitting and talking together.

Thinking it would be inconvenient to disturb her, Bai Yingluo didn't get up, and was about to lie down for a while, but she heard Chen Xiang say beside her: "Miss, it's been a long time since you stopped entering the palace, and Fifth Miss didn't come to look for you either. Talk. You know, it’s Miss Wu’s embarrassment to come to find Miss. I don’t know, I think Miss has won the respect of the nobles in the palace, and she doesn’t want to talk to Miss Fifth. It seems that the Chinese New Year is almost here, and the sisters have a close relationship. It’s better to be peaceful.”

Chen Xiang has been by Old Madam Bai's side for so many years, and she looks at people and things from the perspective of the overall situation, so what she said is reasonable, Bai Yingluo thought for a while, got up and washed, took Liuying to Yunshui Court.

As soon as he entered the courtyard of Yunshui Pavilion, he heard a burst of mournful crying in the inner room, which was also mixed with the angry curse of the second lady.

Seeing that the little maid next to Bai Yingyun had already opened the curtain and whispered inside, Bai Yingluo stood where she was, but was a little embarrassed.

"Liu girl is here? Come in and sit down..."

The second madam went out angrily, and when she saw Bai Yingluo, she greeted her angrily, "Since you're here, go in and sit down, and have a chat with your fifth sister."

After finishing speaking, the second lady turned and went out.

Liuying's eyes were sharp, and she saw that the second lady was clutching the purple pattern pendant in her hand, and she winked at Bai Yingluo, who nodded invisibly, and walked into the room.

"Get out, get out of here..."

Bai Yingyun sat in front of the dressing table, her face paled from crying, and seeing Xiyan and others gathered in the distance from the bronze mirror, Bai Yingyun picked up the rouge and gouache box on the dressing table and threw it at the crowd.

One couldn't dodge in time, and a gorgeous rainbow was painted with rouge on Bai Yingluo's skirt.

"What are you doing here? Are you here to see my joke? Get lost..."

Seeing that Bai Yingluo's expression was calm, but she had an elegant and indifferent temperament, while she was in an unspeakable embarrassment with tears all over her face, Bai Yingyun turned her head and yelled at Bai Yingluo from embarrassment.

If it was possible, Bai Yingluo really wanted to turn around and leave.

But Jindu came in, once he turned his head and went out, starting tomorrow, there would definitely be a lot of unbearable rumors coming out of this mansion, it seems that it is the Chinese New Year, why bother?

Filled with helplessness, Bai Yingluo couldn't see anything on her face, she turned around and ordered in an orderly manner.

After a while, the maids turned around and became busy, some went to bring hot water to serve Bai Yingyun's clean face, and some squatted down to pick up bottles and jars to clean the house, and the chaos in the inner room was gone.

Dwarfed by the comparison, Bai Yingyun felt more and more useless, and seeing that there was no one in the room, she fell down on the dressing table and cried loudly.

"Fifth Sister, it's almost New Year's Eve, not to mention there are guests in the grandmother's house right now, spreading the word will damage my sister's reputation, and the loss outweighs the gain. Fifth Sister, don't cry, think about it. The way is, what do you think?"

Walking to her side, and handing her the handkerchief in her hand to wipe her tears, Bai Yingluo persuaded softly.

"Solution? How to solve it? My parents made up their minds to betroth me to my eldest cousin. Could it be that I really twisted my hair to be a sister-in-law?"

After glaring at Bai Yingluo fiercely, Bai Yingyun choked up and said.
