Glory all the way

Chapter 165
"Mother, tell me, will the old lady and the eldest aunt find the problem?"

In the Qiuran Pavilion, Bai Yingyun listened to the extremely generous dowry her mother had prepared for her, with a face full of satisfaction, but thinking of Bai Yingluo, Bai Yingyun suddenly felt a little worried.

That dead girl, looking at her gentle and well-behaved appearance, seemed to have done nothing, but for more than a year, what happened to her, in the end, could always have the slightest relationship with her, even if it was just some With all the clues, Bai Yingyun can be sure that she and Bai Yingluo must not escape the relationship.

This time, with such an important matter as the dowry, Bai Yingyun couldn't help but feel anxious, for fear that Bai Yingluo would find out something and make a fuss that would make it difficult for her to even get married.

"will not."

Speaking affirmatively, the second lady was full of calculations, "Exactly the same dowry list, exactly the same dowry, unless the old lady and your aunt send more than a dozen experienced women to check, otherwise, on the face of it, Can't find anything."

The same is silk and satin, the workmanship of Jiangnan Weaving Division is much more gorgeous and dense than other places.

Even if it is exactly the same plain white brocade, Jiangnan Oriji's is like the white snow in the cold winter, exuding dazzling brilliance under the sun, if it is made into a plain brocade dress and worn on the body, it will also shine when walking Yicai is indescribably beautiful.Even after three or five years, it still looks like new.

As for the Su brocade from the silk and satin shop in the capital, when it is made into new clothes, Xu and the Su brocade from the Jiangnan weaving department look no different, but they can be taken out of the cage in the next year, and the original dazzling plain white will appear stale. The beige color is full of decadence.

However, at first glance, who can see the difference if it is not a servant who has been impregnated in the inner house for decades?
And this is just a piece of plain brocade, there are more ways to do other things.

At that time, Bai Yingluo's dowry of 2 taels will only be 1 taels at best, maybe not even 1 taels.

And Bai Yingyun's dowry of 2 taels was the real thing, just a lot more.

At that time, even Mrs. Su might not be able to find the slightest fault.

Thinking that these dowries would make her daughter feel proud in the Su family, the second lady felt infinite confidence in her heart.

Patting Bai Yingyun's shoulder affectionately, the second wife said softly, "Yun'er, getting married is the most important event in my daughter's life. Don't worry, your mother will let you marry in a prosperous and prosperous way."

Although I don't know how much dowry those first-born daughters in the next-door Hou's mansion have when they get married, but when my first-in-law Bai Ying happened to get married, she only had more than 1 taels of silver. Are you just like her sister?

Touched in her heart, Bai Yingyun snuggled into her mother's arms and said softly: "Mother, I know you love me, don't worry, my uncle and cousin will have a bright future, I will definitely think of you first in everything, and let you enjoy the blessings too." .”

As a parent, what you are happy to see is the happiness of your children?

When Bai Yingyun said this, the second wife was very pleased, "You are doing well, and if you can help your brother in the future, father and mother will be satisfied."

The second wife was in a hurry to arrange dowry for Bai Yingyun and Bai Yingluo, Mrs. Xue began to prepare for Mrs. Bai's birthday banquet, and Mrs. Bai, just like before, gave birth to her grandchildren every day. Everywhere in Jing'an Hou's mansion was in order, and life resumed. To the former Yiran.

Just after October, there is a faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus floating everywhere in the capital, and the alleys in front of Jing'an Hou's Mansion are already crowded with people.

"Grandma, you also said that this year's grandfather's birthday will definitely be quieter, and you are suggesting that you and your grandfather go to the village in the suburbs of Beijing to stay for a few days. You said that if you and grandfather leave, the people who come to celebrate the birthday will not be happy." All the trip for nothing?"

Bai Yingluo smiled while holding Old Madam Bai's arm.

People are afraid of being lonely when they get old. As early as in the Double Ninth Festival, the old lady Bai whispered to Bai Yingluo, saying that people would take tea to cool down. The wife came up with an idea to live in a village in the suburbs of Beijing for a while, but Bai Yingluo rejected it.

"Grandfather is indifferent by nature, even if no one comes, he won't take it to heart. What's more, in these years, not to mention when grandfather was in office, even if he was idle at home, grandfather also supported many people. In the middle, it shows that the characters are also good, so can you stop respecting him because your grandfather has retired? I think this year may be more lively than previous years, grandma, just wait and see."

At that time, Bai Yingluo said so.

Now, she is telling her that it is true. It is not yet the right day. The alley in front of Jing'an Hou's mansion is full of traffic every day. If it comes to the sixth day of the lunar new year, it may be even more crowded. up.

The old lady Bai narrowed her eyes with a smile, "As long as your grandfather is happy, I will do whatever I want."

The grandparents and grandson talked for a while, the old lady Bai seemed to remember something, she turned her head and asked softly: "That Bai Xiu has been in the mansion for almost a year, you can take care of her, she is honest and reliable? "

Knowing the reason for old lady Bai's question, Bai Yingluo nodded affirmatively, "Grandma, nowadays, most of the things in my house are taken care of by Chen Xiang and Liu Su, and Liu Ying and Xiu Niang are helping. Although Xiuniang is not as meticulous as the three of them, she has only been by my side for a year, and this is already very rare. Besides, I didn't let her come to my side because of the trivial things in my house. There are other uses as well."

Mrs. Bai also asked Mrs. Xue about Bai Xiu, and Mrs. Xue also praised that woman very much. It can be seen that Bai Yingluo's begging to let her enter the mansion was not impulsive.

Now, the old lady Bai is very relieved to see the master and servant getting along very happily. After all, this is the first time Bai Yingluo sees a servant, so it can be seen that she has a good understanding of people. Is this more stable and reliable than Bai Xiu? The old lady Bai valued it even more.

On this side, the old lady Bai was talking about Bai Xiu with Bai Yingluo, while on the other side, Bai Xiu was talking about Bai Yingluo with an old woman.

"Aunt Nian, what you just said, is it true?"

Holding the sole of the shoe with flying stitches in her hand, Bai Xiu looked at the woman sitting on the kang with disbelief and asked.

This is the tea room at the second gate. If there are visitors on weekdays, they will wait here, waiting for the servants to go in and communicate, and then follow them in.

The woman called Aunt Nian served tea every day.

It was the time of the lunch break, and everything was quiet, and the voices of the two became more and more audible. The old lady got up cautiously and walked to the door, looked around for a while, and then came back to sit in the white room. Xiu murmured to her side, "It's a hard life to talk about Miss Six. It's been a long time since I was able to get married and live a peaceful life for a few days. When this is coming to an end, I have to be counted on the dowry, ah ..."

Saying that, Nian Pozi shook her head and sighed.

"Aunt Nian, tell me, even if such big hands and feet can be made on the silk and satin that are used to make clothes, isn't it the same on other things? If you calculate it this way, doesn't our Sixth Miss suffer a lot? ?”

Bai Xiu stopped moving, and asked Nian Pozi in a low voice.

The young woman nodded, "That's right. I used to serve in the inner house, but now that I am old and my legs and feet are not good, my daughter-in-law begged for grace in front of the eldest lady and found me this leisure." Poor. I know the doorway in this inner house very well. Not to mention that the silk and satin can be shoddy, or other antique furniture. If the old man hadn’t become a master, you young women would There are those maids who are determined not to see anything with only a pair of eyes. Fortunately, the man is not from a noble family, otherwise, the dowry that the second wife bought for Miss Six will be laughed at by the in-laws Toothless."

If Bai Yingluo really married such an honorable family, the second wife would not dare to tamper with her dowry, right?
Thinking of this in her heart, Bai Xiu's face suddenly became a little angry.

She has been married before, so she naturally knows the importance of dowry to her daughter's family. It's really too much for the second wife to do this.

Holding the sole of the shoe in her hand, Bai Xiu's heart turned rapidly, only thinking about how to bring this matter to the light, and let Mrs. Xue or Mrs. Bai decide for her own lady.

Bai Xiu's expression fell into the eyes of the old woman Nian, and she immediately yelled in a low voice as if being pricked by a needle, "Xiu Niang, you have only been with Miss Six for less than a year, and I just casually talked with you." Said, don't talk nonsense outside, poke some troubles. At that time, not to mention you, even me and my wife there will not be able to get rid of it. "

Having already made up her mind, Bai Xiu hurriedly comforted Mrs. Nian and said, "Aunt Nian, Xiu Niang appreciates your love. But Miss Six is ​​very kind to me. I can't just sit and watch her being plotted against. Don't worry, no matter how troublesome this matter is, I will never drag you out. In the future, not to mention slaves, even my young lady will definitely remember your kindness. If I tell a lie, let me After death, you will go to the eighteen levels of hell, and you will suffer unbearable suffering."

The old man is most afraid of these swearing, not to mention Nian Pozi and Bai Xiu have known each other for so long, if Bai Xiu hadn't always respected Nian Pozi, Nian Poko wouldn't have said these things to her.Because of this, Nian Pozi immediately turned pale, stretched out her hand to cover Baixiu's mouth, and replied in a low voice: "Okay, okay, I believe it. If this is the case, don't say it again."

After deliberately establishing friendship with Mrs. Nian for so long, now that she finally got some useful news, Bai Xiu was very happy in her heart.

But when she came out of the waiter, Bai Xiu felt heavier than ever before.

The dowry matter is no small matter, Bai Yingluo knew that not only could she not do anything, she also had to worry about it, this time, even if she risked her life, she couldn't let the second wife get what she wanted.

Calculating in her mind, Bai Xiu walked slowly towards the direction of Sanjin. In the veranda, a few maidservants came towards her, and they passed by in the air. Listening to them talking about Qiu Ranxuan, Bai Xiu's heart suddenly I have an idea.
