Glory all the way

Chapter 150 The Incident
On April [-]th, the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to deliver the decree, Bai Jinyuan was named the Prince of Jing'an, and he was the leader of the five-rank guard battalion forward.

For this reason, the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion hosted another three-day feast for the guests, and the lanes were full of traffic, very lively.

Before the excitement is over, April 25th is Brother Kun's first birthday.

This is the first great-grandson of Old Master Bai, and Bai Jinyuan has just been conferred, which is when he is proud of his spring breeze. Therefore, when Old Master Bai speaks, Brother Kun's Zhou Banquet should be more grand.

Posts were spread out early in the morning, and the sound of firecrackers rang out outside just after dawn. After a while, visitors came to the door.

When Bai Yingluo arrived at Qing'an Hall, the old lady Bai was hugging Brother Kun and calling "Grandmother". Although the little guy is already one year old, he is still not good at talking, and now he can barely call "Daddy and Mother", a word "mother" , and often shouted "cool", which made Xu Hexuan always burst into laughter.

"Brother Kun, I am great-grandmother, grand-grandmother."

Recited word by word, the old lady Bai held Brother Kun's hand and taught.

"Too, ma'am..."

After being confused for a long time, Brother Kun only yelled out two double words. Even so, the old lady Bai still smiled happily.

The banquet was held in the big flower hall of Mingya Garden, and at noon, a maid came over and asked Jia Shi to hold Brother Kun to show her face in front of the guests.

Mrs. Jia greeted Old Madam Bai, and walked out of Qing'an Hall holding Brother Kun who was still holding on to her great-grandmother's sleeve.

The liveliness in the front yard flew all the way to Qing'an Hall under the warm sunshine. The old lady Bai looked at Bai Yingluo who was sitting beside her quietly doing embroidery work and said, "Sister Luo, why don't you go to see the excitement? What did my brother catch, you go and see, and you can tell grandma when you come back."

Bai Yingluo smiled, but the movements of her hands didn't stop, "Grandmother, just watch, in a while, there will be some busy little maids coming to ask for rewards. Even if I go, I won't necessarily be better than them." runs fast."

When she was close to Jiji, she was considered a big girl, there were many people in the banquet hall, and it was inconvenient for a girl named Bai Yingluo to appear there, so even Bai Yinghuan and Bai Yinglan came to pull her, but Bai Yingluo didn't go.

Seeing that her heart was like a mirror, the old lady Bai felt more and more relieved, and thinking that when the marriage was settled, she would be able to get married with peace of mind, and the old lady Bai felt that something on her mind was finally coming to an end.

Sure enough, within a cup of tea, there were footsteps in the yard, the curtain was lifted, and a pretty little maid came in and replied, "Old lady, the young master has grabbed Lord Hou's seal. For Lord Hou, the young master is holding on tight and won't let go, Lord Hou is very happy."

"Then the future is not his? Little guy, you really know how to catch."

The smile was overflowing, and it seemed that his face was full of wrinkles. The old lady Bai happily called Qiuwen to reward the little girl with reward money, and sighed softly: "In another ten days, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival again. This happy event is a happy event. It’s nice to have one attached.”

Bai Yingluo also laughed, but she never thought that the happy event that grandma talked about would have anything to do with her.

As for the old lady Bai, seeing Bai Yingluo's calm and calm appearance, she liked it a little more in her heart, but at the same time, she still imagined her shy appearance after learning that the marriage was negotiated.

"Grandma, why are you looking at me like that?"

Finally realized something was wrong, Bai Yingluo looked suspiciously at old lady Bai and asked, old lady Bai shook her head with a smile, casually talked about something else, and changed the topic.

Within a few days, Mrs. Xue arranged for his servants to clean the courtyards everywhere, sprinkle realgar powder along the way, and someone from Baijiazhuang also came to deliver the zongzi wrapped in Zhuangzi, but the person who came was Zhuangzi. The most important patriarch.

When she found out, Bai Yingluo had just come out of Mingcuiju, she stopped, she turned her head and asked Liusu, "You see clearly, is it really the old Patriarch Bai?"

Tassel nodded.

The position of patriarch had been handed down to the village head of Baijiazhuang a few years ago, but the previous patriarch, the villagers would still respectfully call him Bai Lao Patriarch when they saw him.

Today, the old patriarch Bai is over 70 years old, but he is in good spirits. Even when he lived in the village last year, the old man Bai often went to chat with the old patriarch Bai and played chess. The two old people got along very well.

Thinking that Xu, the old patriarch, came to visit her grandfather, Bai Yingluo didn't say anything more, but she still had a strange feeling in her heart.

At lunch time, there were only old lady Bai and Bai Yingluo in Qing'an Hall. I heard that it was old lady Bai who took the old patriarch out. Bai Yingluo asked curiously if old patriarch Bai had something to ask for. Smiling, but shaking her head again and again, for a moment, the strange feeling in Bai Yingluo's heart became more and more obvious.

In May, the weather gradually heats up. In the afternoon, if there is not a trace of breeze in the air, it will even make people feel a little hot in midsummer.

In the Qiuran Pavilion, Bai Yingyun was sitting next to the second lady, a little excited, "Mother, tell me, will the poor scholar fall into the trap? I usually come to the Hou's mansion, and I see that he is still very disciplined." , if he doesn't drink that day, what should we do?"

The second lady smiled strangely, "So what if you don't drink, the lunch is over, he must rest, right? At that time, as long as he can steal his personal things, the result will be the same. At that time, they will be hard to tell If it gets out, Liu Yatou's reputation will be damaged after all, the old man and the old lady must not want to see such a thing happen, and in the end, they can only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis."

Bai Yingyun hesitated for a moment and said: "Mother, the sixth younger sister has managed the top and bottom of the Lanxin Pavilion like an iron bucket. If that thing can't be put in, the show won't be able to continue."

"Just wait and see. Although my mother doesn't care about things, she is not a vegetarian."

The words were inscrutable, and the second lady's face was determined, as if she had seen the old lady Bai beating her cane and glaring at Bai Yingluo angrily.

Seeing that her mother was so confident, Bai Yingyun also became happy, "Hmph, when the time comes, the raw rice will be cooked, and the sixth younger sister and that poor scholar will really be a match made in heaven, haha..."

Laughing out loud, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, Bai Yingyun hurriedly raised her hand to cover her mouth, while looking around, seeing that there was no one in the room, Bai Yingyun let out a soft breath, smugly patted her chest and laughed.

Dragon Boat Festival, can there be a good show to watch?

Bai Yingyun secretly looked forward to it.

In a blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of May.

Xu was considering that the students had to go home for the festival. The day before, the academy had informed everyone that they would have a day off for the Dragon Boat Festival, and in Jing'an Hou Mansion, the Xue family also sent someone to send a post to Xue Zhe and Du Xuan , invite them to Jing'anhou Mansion for the Dragon Boat Festival.

Xue Zhe didn't want to go back to his grandfather's house, so he couldn't help but agree, but Du Xuan was a little hesitant, but after being told by Bai Jinju and Bai Jinxiao, he had no choice but to agree, and moved into Jing'an Hou's mansion on the fourth night of the fourth day. .

In the early morning of the next day, a few young people went out to the suburbs to relax. Bai Yingluo went to Qing'an Hall to talk with her grandparents for a while, and went to Xiaoyazhai when she had time, and chatted with Master Yao for a while.

Near noon, a large family gathered in the big flower hall of Mingya Garden, having a banquet filled with laughter.

The old master Bai was already on his mind, and looking back at Du Xuan, who he admired very much, he felt more and more pleasing to the eye. Thinking of the happy event to be announced at the dinner party, there was a bit of old-fashioned joy in his eyes.

Bai Jinyuan and his brothers sat at the same table with Xue Zhe and Du Xuan. During the banquet, they mingled with each other. Du Xuan, who seldom drank alcohol, was also persuaded to drink several cups.

Bai Yingyun has been secretly paying attention to the movement at the table next to her. Seeing that Du Xuan's face showed a little bit of alcohol, her face became more and more peaceful, and then she looked back at Bai Yingluo, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart, but when she thought of Bai Yingluo again Knowing that she was about to marry that poor scholar in astonishment, Bai Yingyun felt a little relieved.

At the end of the luncheon, everyone filed out of the big flower hall, and went to their own rooms. Du Xuan was overwhelmed with alcohol and was afraid of losing his composure in front of others, so he fell to the end. Seeing that there were only servants left in the flower hall, he got up He walked slowly towards the wing room where he usually lived when he came to Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Du Xuan was walking in front, passed through the hanging flower gate for a while, and was supported by a young servant passing by.

"Master Du, let me take you back to your room."

The boy was talking, and sent Du Xuan back with his arm.

After a cup of tea, the door opened, the young man poked his head out and looked around for a few times, seeing that no one was paying attention, he quickly came out to close the door, and ran towards the backyard quickly.

After taking a nap and getting up, Bai Yingluo still felt her head was a little groggy. Thinking of being teased by Bai Yingyun to drink two glasses of fruit wine during the luncheon, Bai Yingluo felt a little dark.

After staggering for a while, she got up and washed her face again, and Bai Yingluo felt better. She was about to go to Qing'an Hall, when she heard rumors that Bai Yingyun had come.

"I heard that there are several magnolias blooming in the greenhouse. Sixth sister, let's go and have a look."

Regardless of Bai Yingluo's willingness or not, Bai Yingyun stepped forward and grabbed her arm affectionately, and dragged her out the door to the backyard.

In the flower room, there were indeed a few pots of magnolias that had bloomed, and a few pots that had buds. They thought they would bloom early tomorrow morning. Looking at the buds that were as white as jade, the boredom in Bai Yingluo's heart was swept away. , turned his head and told the old man in the greenhouse to pick two pots and send them to Qing'an Hall.

After talking for a while, Bai Yingluo and Bai Yingyun left the conservatory, guessing that grandma had already got up.

Entering the main room of Qing'an Hall, I saw Old Madam Bai's complexion was slightly gloomy. In the first place, Mrs. Xue and the second wife were sitting on both sides, looking at Bai Yingluo who entered the room, one pityed the other, although they had the same expression, but their eyes were clear. It means something different, Bai Yingluo's heart sank.

"Sister Luo, how many maidservants are there in your courtyard now?"

Mrs. Xue glanced at the old lady Bai, and asked Bai Yingluo softly.

"There are Chen Xiang, Liu Su and Liu Ying in the house, and six other maidservants who don't usually enter the house. Auntie, what's wrong?"

After Bai Yingluo answered carefully, she looked at Mrs. Xue with a puzzled expression.

Mrs. Xue didn't answer, but turned to look at old lady Bai with a questioning face.

The old lady Bai glanced at Bai Yingluo, her gaze casually swept over the second lady and Bai Yingyun, and said in a deep voice: "Go, go to Chenghuanju, search for me inside and out, I don't believe it, there really is such a A lowly maidservant can hide in Cheng Huan's residence."

After all, the old lady Bai got up and got off the couch.

For a moment, Bai Yingluo seemed to understand something.
