Glory all the way

Chapter 95 Calling
Du Xuan said that he was running around in his youth, and he didn't settle down until he arrived at Baijiazhuang.Without the support of the villagers and their help for so many years, he would not be where he is today, maybe he would still be wandering somewhere.

It is precisely because of this that he has always held a grateful heart, so he does not want to be that ungrateful person. In this life, he only wants to be safe and secure, even if he is only a teacher in the school, he can serve the people of Baijiazhuang. It is also good for the villagers to do what they can.

Everyone has their own aspirations, although Old Master Bai is full of persuasive words, but looking at his firm and clear eyes, he can't say anything.

"The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. It is a good thing for the younger generation to know how to repay the kindness..."

Although Old Master Bai praised her, Bai Yingluo could hear that her grandfather's words were full of regret.

After dinner, he took the two elderly people for a walk in the backyard. Old Master Bai was still rambling on about the advantages he had discovered from playing chess with Du Xuan in the past few days.

The seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy is at the time when he is proud and arrogant, and Du Xuan can't see these things. What's even more commendable is that his calmness and restraint make him more like a man who has experienced vicissitudes. Middle-aged people, it is precisely this disposition that Old Master Bai values ​​even more.

"I reckon that this may have something to do with his wandering around when he was young. However, these things may involve his inner pain, so I don't want to ask too much."

Talking like gossiping, old master Bai shook his head, and old lady Bai at the side saw this and patted his hand comfortingly, "You are just a worrying life, and the next generation is contented and happy. If someone else, Seeing that you have developed a heart of appreciation, maybe you will sway in front of your eyes in a different way, thinking that you will find a future for you..."

Old Mrs. Bai has an upright temper, and even his own sons have earned their fame through studying hard in the cold window. It is absolutely impossible for him to say hello and arrange errands casually.

Now, for Du Xuan, Old Master Bai only suggested that he go to Beijing to study in order to take part in the examination in the future, but Du Xuan didn't take it seriously at all. Heartbroken.

"Then will the youngest come back tomorrow?"

old lady Bai asked.

Old Master Bai nodded, "Today's chess game is not over yet, and when it's hard to tell, he will definitely come tomorrow."

As he said that, Old Master Bai made the calculations, "After this game of chess is over, we should pack up and go back to Beijing. I hope he can change his mind..."

The old lady Bai said with a smile: "Tomorrow, you can keep him for dinner. Let me see what an outstanding young man he is, and you can't let him go."

After being bored in the garden for a few days, the old lady Bai also felt a little bored. Seeing that the old man Bai talked about Du Xuan every day, the old lady Bai also became a little curious.

Old Master Bai smiled and nodded, while Bai Yingluo was thinking silently in her heart.

This garden on the outskirts of Beijing has always been empty on weekdays, and now there are only three masters, Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Bai, and Bai Yingluo. Apart from the servants brought from Jing'an Hou's mansion, there are only three people in the garden on weekdays. The few servants who cleaned up the courtyards seemed a little empty.

If Bai Yingluo wanted to meet Du Xuan alone, it would not be difficult, but Bai Yingluo did not want to hide it from her grandparents.

After breakfast, Old Master Bai went out for a walk in the garden, and Bai Yingluo snuggled up to her grandmother and whispered.

"What, you want to see that young man?"

After hearing Bai Yingluo's words, the old lady Bai looked at her suspiciously, with disapproval in her eyes.

After all, men and women are different.

"Grandmother, Luo'er doesn't want to meet him in private..."

Bai Yingluo said with an upright face: "Seeing that my grandfather now has a heart of love for talents and talks about Du Xuan all day long, my granddaughter thought, if she can persuade Du Xuan to obey her grandfather's wishes together with her grandmother, the future will be better. Wouldn't it be a good thing to serve the imperial court? In this way, it can be regarded as a solution to my grandfather's immediate worries, and it is the best of both worlds."

Thinking about Bai Yingluo's words, the old lady Bai hesitated and said, "You are a little girl, can he listen to what you say?"

"The person who can make my grandfather fall in love with me is also a person with a heart and a measure. Isn't it enough for Luo'er to reason with him? There are a lot of things that my grandfather says are inappropriate to him. If Luo'er talks about it, it will be fine. When the time comes , even if it is inappropriate, Du Xuan thinks that I am a woman and a child, so I will definitely not think too much about it and cause any unnecessary misunderstandings."

Bai Yingluo said plausibly.

There are some things that Old Master Bai really can't say easily, just like persuading him to study in Beijing, he can only go so far. If he can figure it out by himself, that would be great.But if Old Master Bai insisted on persuading, Du Xuan would feel that Old Master Bai was plotting against him. After all, the two met through a game of chess, not to mention that they hadn't known each other for long.

Thinking like this, the old lady Bai seemed to be convinced, and nodded slightly.

After taking a nap and getting up, Bai Yingluo changed her clothes and went to the main room with tassels.

After a while, a steward brought Du Xuan over.

"Wansheng Du Xuan, met the old lady, met the young lady, Wansheng came to ask Old Master Bai to teach Zhenlong."

After saluting respectfully, he stood up again, and seeing Bai Yingluo standing beside the old lady Bai, Du Xuan's face suddenly became hot, and he sat in the armchair, feeling a little unnatural in his heart.

"The old man went out and left a message. He will be back after a while. Mr. Du will wait for a while."

Said in a kind voice, the old lady Bai signaled Qiu Wen and the others to serve tea and cakes, while chatting with Du Xuan in an easy-going way.

He greeted the old people in Baijiazhuang who had chatted with him, and asked the children in the school. After a while, Du Xuan's sense of embarrassment subsided a little, not as nervous as when he entered the house.

"I don't know how old Mr. Du is?"

Du Xuan has delicate features, and is polite when he speaks. This kind of young man is the favorite of the elders. After a while, the old lady Bai has a little more affection for Du Xuan, and when she asks questions, she is even more kind.

"It's fine for the old lady to call Wansheng by his first name. I can't call you Mr. Wansheng. Wansheng is eighteen this year."

Du Xuan nodded in agreement.

"Eighteen, I'm still a child..."

Sighing faintly, as if feeling pity for him who has been traveling around since he was a child, the old lady Bai said softly: "The old lady said that you have learned from others, so why don't you go to the exam and get a good name, which can be regarded as a glory for the family. Could it be that in this life, you are going to be a teacher in a small school?"

Gently put down the tea bowl in his hand, Du Xuan raised his eyes to look at the old lady Bai and replied in a deep voice: "Wansheng has been traveling around since childhood, and I don't know how much he has suffered. I went to Baijiazhuang two years ago, if it weren't for the folks Ladies and gentlemen, late life may have already died in Huangquan. Therefore, the folks in Baijiazhuang are all late life's benefactors. Now, teaching the children in Zhuangzi and letting them learn more knowledge will become talents in the future. This is the only thing late life can do. Yes, so, the old man's expectation, Wansheng is really hard to realize."

At the end, Du Xuan got up and bowed to the old lady Bai, and made a big salute.

"Hey……"

With an inaudible sigh, the old lady Bai turned her head to look at Bai Yingluo, and shook her head in disappointment.

When Du Xuan sat down again, Bai Yingluo got up and walked aside, picked up the teapot and filled Du Xuan with tea.

Seeing that it was Bai Yingluo, Du Xuan stood up with some trepidation, and kept saying "No, no, how can I bother Miss to pour tea for me".

Bai Yingluo smiled, poured tea swiftly, put down the teapot and backed behind old lady Bai.

"This bowl of tea is Yingluo's thanks to Mr. Du on behalf of the folks in Baijiazhuang. Mr. Du knows what he has learned and teaches the children in the school without reservation. He is a well-deserved gentleman."

Bai Yingluo said in admiration.

"Miss is absurd..."

Xu felt a little ashamed, and Du Xuan's face turned red.

When the subject changed, Bai Yingluo asked in a deep voice, "But Yingluo has a doubt, and I hope that Mr. Du can help Yingluo resolve it."

"I don't dare to answer my doubts, miss, but I say it's okay, we can discuss the details together."

Du Xuan replied politely.

"Nowadays, sir, it's okay to teach those children in the countryside with the fame of raising people, and be their first mentor. But, do you plan to continue like this for the rest of your life, sir?"

Bai Yingluo asked.

Old Madam Bai had asked this question just now, and Du Xuan also made it clear that he was willing to repay his kindness in this way, and wishing was enough.

Therefore, upon hearing this question again, Du Xuan looked at Bai Yingluo in confusion.

Bai Yingluo continued: "Yingluo, let's change the way. With Mr.'s talent and learning, if you take part in the general examination, you may not be able to win the gold list. If you have an official position, you can truly benefit the people. Compared with today's only a school In terms of teaching and educating people, sir, which one is more affordable and can benefit the people of Baijiazhuang?"

"Being an official is not making decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes... Naturally, being an official can do more practical things for the people."

Du Xuan said realistically.

"Actually, Mr. refused my grandfather's kindness, but his own heart knot was not solved. Mr. blindly wanted to repay his kindness, but he didn't know that perhaps in the hearts of the folks in Baijiazhuang, you were already a neighbor of them. A member, not what you said, they are all your benefactors, so, sir, you might as well ask yourself what you really want, not what you can do."

Raising her voice, noticing Du Xuan's pensive expression, Bai Yingluo came to the final conclusion, "So, sir, you should really think about it, and don't let down the love of the folks for you just because of your own erroneous thoughts. "

After talking on the phone for a long time, Bai Yingluo suddenly felt a little thirsty. She drank a few sips of tea, then turned around, facing the admiring gaze of the old lady Shang Bai, Bai Yingluo blinked playfully and smiled.
