Glory all the way

Chapter 87
For a long time after the sixth princess got married, Bai Yingluo felt a little lost.

In the past, we were together every day, even in those days when we didn’t have to read with him, Bai Yingluo would enter the palace every three days, and from time to time, the sixth princess would send the servant of Yunrou Hall to deliver some notes, or Gifts or something, so even if the two haven't met, they probably know what the other is doing all the time.

But now that the sixth princess left the capital, Bai Yingluo's sense of loss was far stronger than expected.

No one has ever treated himself as pure and true as the sixth princess, and there has never been anyone who has no reason to believe in himself like the sixth princess.

In this life, I am afraid that there is only such a sincere friend as the sixth princess, right?

In the Lanxin Pavilion, Bai Yingluo was lazily leaning against the soft couch, staring at the bright spring light outside the window in a daze. After an unknown amount of time, Chen Xiang came over and said with a smile, "Miss, you can't help but sigh for such a short time." After taking a few breaths, people who don't know see it and think that something great has happened in Lanxin Pavilion. How about letting Liuying accompany you to take a walk in the woods in the backyard?"

Taking a deep breath, Bai Yingluo nodded and sat up. Before she could speak, Qiu Wen's voice sounded in the yard, "Is Miss Six here? The old lady asked Miss Six to come over and talk."

Bai Yingluo's heart skipped a beat, and Qiu Wen who rushed in asked, "What's wrong with grandma?"

When I got up early and went to Qing'an Hall to say hello, the old lady Bai's spirit was not very good. Even if she wanted to be by the side, the old lady Bai didn't coax her kindly like before, but waved her hands impatiently. Dare to stay longer, secretly asked Qiuwen and Qiuyue a few words, and then withdrew from Qing'an Hall.

Seeing Qiuwen approaching at this moment, Bai Yingluo immediately felt a little bad.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Wen had a smile on her face, "You will know when Miss Six goes, it's sure to be a good thing."

Feeling relieved, Bai Yingluo got up and followed Qiu Wen to Qing'an Hall. Once she entered the main room, she saw old lady Bai lying on the soft couch, listening to Mrs. Xue's words.

She bowed silently, followed her grandmother's gestures and sat beside her, Bai Yingluo quietly listened to Xue's words, the more she listened, the happier she felt.

During the Double Ninth Festival last year, Old Master Bai and Mrs. Bai took Bai Yingluo to Zhuangzi in the outskirts of the capital. Looking at a forest in the distance below the mountain, the old lady Bai described to Bai Yingluo the peach grove with longing eyes. Yaoyao's gorgeous appearance, at that time, Bai Yingluo also had her own little thoughts, so she said smoothly that when the sixth princess in Kaichun got married and she didn't have to accompany her every day, she would accompany her grandparents to live in Zhuangzi some time.

But now, what Old Madam Bai and Mrs. Xue are discussing is precisely this matter.

"Old lady, it's going to be March now. People say that the spring is cold. According to what the Marquis and his wife think, why don't you two wait another month until the weather is warmer in April? How about you?"

Mrs. Xue roughly talked about the situation in several villages in the suburbs of Beijing, and Fang Xianhui persuaded her.

Shaking her head, the old lady Bai caressed the silky lines on the brocade quilt, coughed and said, "Since years ago, there seems to be a smell of fireworks in this capital all the time, making me dizzy. Now It's spring, and the villages in the suburbs of Beijing are plowing the fields. Although it's colder there, it's the most suitable for old people like us, so it's better to go there, and you can have a quiet time. You and I Although father-in-law is old, his body is not as weak as you think, maybe he will be more energetic after going. So, just follow my instructions, and when you are ready, we will set off to go back to Zhuangzi."

The old lady Bai has always been one-sided, and she rarely changes what she has decided. She has been married to the Jing'an Hou Mansion for so many years, so there is nothing she doesn't know.

Seeing what she said, Mrs. Xue didn't say any more, but nodded meekly, saying that she would get ready as soon as possible.

"We're going to Zhuangzi this time. We're going to stay for a while longer. If there's anything important, you and Shi Zhong can make up your mind. After all, we're all old, and it's time for us to take care of ourselves. Don't worry about anything." Bother us."

When Mrs. Xue was about to leave the house, Old Madam Bai told her not to worry about it, and Mrs. Xue hurriedly responded, pursed her lips and smiled and replied, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious, my daughter-in-law will never dare to disturb your quietness." However, at the end of April, the eldest and youngest mistress will give birth, and the old man and the old lady will become great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers. It is a great joy for the four generations to live together. At that time, the daughter-in-law will order someone to pick up your two elders."

With a satisfied smile on her face, the old lady Bai smiled and nodded in response, turned her head to look at Bai Yingluo and said kindly: "Sister Luo, grandma said that she would take you to see the peach blossoms, but she didn't lie to you. Make a good picture so that grandpa and grandma can see your progress over the years."

I have been looking forward to returning to that Zhuangzi countless times in my heart, and now my wish has finally come true. The excitement in Bai Yingluo's heart cannot be expressed in words, she just nodded in agreement, and she couldn't wait to fly to the peach forest in the suburbs. , and in the yard of the Bai family.

Back at Mingya Garden, discussed with the Marquis of Jing'an, and went to Qing'an Hall for dinner in the evening, Mrs. Xue replied that February 26 is a good day to go out, and everything can be prepared by then, Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai Old lady Bai can travel that day.

Knowing that the second elder was only bringing Bai Yingluo with her, the second wife glanced at the second master, and the husband and wife nodded tacitly. The second wife immediately said with a smile: "Old master, old lady, Sister Yun is better than Sister Luo." Well, it’s time to go with Sister Luo and fulfill your filial piety by your elders’ side, if not, let Sister Yun go too.”

Uncompromising, the old lady Bai turned her head to look at Bai Yingyun, and saw that although she did not speak, but her face was full of reluctance, the old lady Bai asked kindly: "Sister Yun, would you like to live in Zhuangzi with your grandparents for a while? "

Glancing at the second lady with resentful eyes, Bai Yingyun lowered her head and whispered back: "Sister Yun is naturally willing to be able to be filial to my grandparents."

But no one can see how reluctant she is.

The old lady Bai smiled, "Of course we understand your filial piety. However, life in Zhuangzi is not as lively as in the capital. Your little girl's house likes to be lively, so I don't force you. Your sixth younger sister is quiet, so let her Stay with us two old antiques."

As soon as the hammer was finalized, it was settled like this, and the old lady Bai gave Xue Shi a few more words, and then waved away the crowd.

Back at Qiu Ranxuan, Bai Yingyun would inevitably be reprimanded by the second wife, blaming her for not being as lovable as Bai Yingluo, but thinking about it again, Bai Yingluo's life experience can only be seen in front of the old master Bai and the old lady Bai Only by tricking and selling well can we make more plans for the future, but there is no need for Bai Yingyun.After all, life in the countryside in the suburbs of Beijing is indeed more boring than in the capital. If Bai Yingyun really went, the second lady might not know what to worry about.

Thinking like this, the second lady gradually felt relieved.

On February 26, at lunchtime, the whole family gathered in Qing'an Hall and had a meal in harmony.

After the meal, Old Master Bai kindly told his grandchildren to study hard and not to be mischievous, while Old Mrs. Bai hugged several young granddaughters affectionately, and they whispered for a while.

At a moment's notice, several carriages drove out from the alleyway of Jing'an Hou's Mansion, and went straight out of the city gate towards the outer suburbs.

The curtain of the car was blown by the breeze, occasionally you could hear old master Bai's hearty laughter, looking at the fleeting scenery outside the window, Bai Yingluo let out a few breaths of comfort, and the smile on her face became softer and softer.

Liusu beside him said with a smile: "It seems that as long as you leave the capital, the young lady will be in a good mood."

Smiling, Bai Yingluo blinked at Liusu and Liuying, and said poetically: "The sky is big and the earth is big, and the scenery outside is unique."

The carriage galloped for more than two hours and arrived at Zhuangzi just in time for dinner. The steward who got the news was waiting at the entrance of the village early. The old master Bai and the old lady took Bai Yingluo into the soft sedan chair and entered the garden.

Just like when they came during the Double Ninth Festival, Old Master Bai and Old Lady Bai lived in the main room in the second entrance, and Bai Yingluo lived in the east wing. Although it was much simpler than the Jing'an Hou Mansion, Bai Yingluo's heart was extremely at ease.

Standing in the courtyard, looking up at the pitch-black sky, thinking that not far away is the courtyard of the second elder of the Bai family, Bai Yingluo felt that even the air was a little more intimate.

For several days in succession, Bai Yingluo got up early and accompanied Old Master Bai and Mrs. Bai to go for a walk along the ridge of the field. Seeing that there were already surrounding tenants plowing the field with their oxen, and there was a look of vitality everywhere, Old Mrs. Bai Fu Xu smiled and said: "But some years have not been so carefree..."

The steward talked back and forth, saying that when the peach groves were in full bloom, Bai Yingluo was sitting beside the old lady, holding a small dress in her hand. This dress was naturally for the child in the belly of the young mistress Jia. made.

After hearing what the steward said, the old lady Bai was overjoyed, and repeatedly ordered the steward to prepare a soft sedan chair, and to take Bai Yingluo to enjoy the peach blossoms.

The old lady Bai went to find an old acquaintance to play chess, so the old lady Bai and Bai Yingluo went to Taolin.

It was the beginning of March, and the peach blossoms on the tree only bloomed a little, and most of them still showed a little light pink flower buds. Even so, the face of the old lady Bai still showed infinite memories of the past.

"In a few days, it will look even better..."

Said softly, the old lady Bai took Bai Yingluo's hand and walked forward. The grandparents and grandchildren strolled in the peach forest, breathing the faint fragrance, and their moods were lifted.

Near noon, the manager of the village came to pick up old lady Bai and Bai Yingluo back to the garden, and Bai Yingluo obediently helped old lady Bai into the carriage.

The sound of children playing could be heard in the distance, Bai Yingluo turned her head to look, and saw a group of lively children chattering around a man beside the ridge.

Looking at that figure from behind, Bai Yingluo's breathing stopped for an instant.
