Glory all the way

Chapter 291 Enthusiasm
For several days, Du Xuan never mentioned how to arrange Na Duo and A Nuo, and Bai Yingluo didn't care about it.In the first few days, Du Xuan was quite worried, but after seeing that Bai Yingluo really didn't care, Du Xuan was secretly relieved.

Na Duo and A Nuo just stayed in Zhuangyuan's mansion, whether it was Yixinyuan or Luoyanju, all the mothers-in-law, daughters-in-law and maids treated them politely as guests, respectful and alienated.

The two asked to see each other over and over again, but Bai Yingluo refused them all.

After going back and forth, Na Duo and A Nuo both took a rest, but turned their attention to Du Xuan even more.

For Na Duo, coming to the capital of Song Dynasty is the fate of being sent away. The only difference is that they are sent to the family of high-ranking officials and big families, who will endure the oppression and exclusion of the mistress and other concubines in the future, or whether they are sent to In a noble family who needs to be wooed, she is trying her best to climb up the ladder, preferably from a dancer who is used for entertainment to an aunt with a little bit of status.

Of course, there is only a thin line of difference between the two, and the similarity is that these two people are both fat-headed and lewd/evil-eyed people, what will happen to them in the end depends on the degree of that person's desire for beauty.

Therefore, all the way from Xili to the capital, the two of them made countless plans, but they never expected that they would be given to the handsome champion Lang.

When they heard the news from the dancer, Na Duo and A Nuo privately ran to the front yard of the post house to take a peek. They saw Du Xuan smiling and pushing a cup with Mr. Fei Duofan, with a gentle smile on his face like It was the gentle breeze in spring, and his every move showed his good demeanor. Na Duo and Anuo could see the deep joy and anticipation in each other's eyes.

In the next few days, when they practiced dancing again, the two of them no longer complained about suffering, but enjoyed it. They even reduced their three meals a day compared to before. The more attractive gazes and the words of envy or ridicule from the sisters have become the driving force for Na Duo and Anuo to work hard.

Finally arrived at Zhuangyuan Mansion on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, and when she learned that Mrs. Shaoqing accompanied his wife back to her natal home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, when there was only his wife and a mistress and no other concubines in the big mansion, Na Duo's face was flushed with excitement. Li: Even if he takes a concubine again in the future, it seems that he will definitely not be able to surpass him. As long as he wins his heart, is he afraid that he will have no place in the Zhuangyuan Mansion?
Looking back, I saw that the eyes of A Nuo, who was as calm as usual, had a little light in his eyes, which was the same as her expression when she calculated that Yun Duo went to the fat and fat Du Tong's house instead of her, Na Duo felt in her heart , I couldn't help being a little more vigilant.

In the past few days, the two of them have shown their special abilities, and they have inquired about Du Xuan's whereabouts through the coachman's servants and the little maid, thinking that there will be a chance encounter, and something like a smile will happen forever. Unfortunately, Du Xuan left too early. The time of return is also uncertain, Na Duo and Anuo waited several times but returned without success.

Na Duo and Anuo's petty actions, naturally some daughter-in-laws and maidservants who want to take credit will report back to Bai Yingluo, Bai Yingluo just smiled, and only told them to keep an eye on the two of them, and let them do the rest, so as not to make them feel that they are here. Being a guest in Zhuangyuan's Mansion lost his personal freedom.

On the [-]th, the Jing'an Hou Mansion was full of excitement again. Bai Jinlu, who was dressed in a festive groom's attire, came back to welcome his relatives. Deafening firecrackers sounded in the alley in front of the door. After kowtowing with Mrs. Bai, Marquis Jing'an and Mrs. Xue, the banquet tables in the Dahua Hall were already full of guests who came to congratulate her.

Du Xuan was busy with receiving the envoys, so he went there at noon to toast Bai Jinlu with a few books and then left. Bai Yingluo had to take care of Brother Yan, so she didn't go to the banquet hall, and stayed in Qing'an hall to accompany old master Bai and old Bai The wife rested after lunch, Bai Yingluo talked to Jia Shi for a while, and then took Yan Geer back home.

Xili's envoys were still hovering in the capital, negotiating with Da Song on the friendly trade between the two countries and other matters, and the envoys from Da'an and Dawan arrived one after another. It's like a spinning top, leaving early and returning late to get busy.

Bai Yingluo was not idle either.

The envoy from Da'an went to the palace to meet Emperor Jiayuan and the Queen, and then came to the Zhuangyuan Mansion to deliver the Queen's gift to Mrs. Zhuangyuan.

Pointing to the large and small brocade boxes piled up in the middle of the ground, the messenger who came to pass the message said with a smile: "Madam, the queen said that you are her best handkerchief in the capital, so, this time, I will give you a handkerchief." It is my honor to bring you the gift she gave you for the queen, and together with it, there is also the queen's sincere invitation to you, the queen said, if there is a chance, I will invite you to visit Da'an as a guest."

As he said that, the messenger bent down to salute, and solemnly presented the gift list and invitation letter.

Chen Xiang took it and handed it to Bai Yingluo. Bai Yingluo opened the invitation first and read it, and said with a smile: "Thank you. I only represent my husband and myself to welcome you and the Da'an envoys. I hope everything goes smoothly. If you decide to go back to Da'an in the future, please send someone to tell me in advance, reply and the gift I will send to your queen, please help me take it back."

"Honored."

After bowing and saluting, the messenger turned and said goodbye.

All afternoon, Bai Yingluo was busy arranging the presents from the sixth princess, and Xue Shi who came here on business could not help but click her tongue and sigh when she saw it.

"Unexpectedly, among so many ladies in the capital, you are the one who hit it off with the sixth princess. You should cherish it well. When you think about it in the future, you will know that even the previous quarrel was so worth it." people remember."

Xue looked at Brother Yan who was already asleep, and said to Bai Yingluo with a smile.

Nodding in response, Bai Yingluo looked at Mrs. Xue and asked, "Is there anything important you want me to do?"

With a smile on her face, Mrs. Xue lowered her voice and said to Bai Yingluo: "Are you going to Zhou Guogong's mansion to see that Mrs. Zhou Young Lady? If you want to go, take sister Huan with you, okay?"

With a twitch in her heart, Bai Yingluo asked excitedly, "Did someone from Duke Zhou's mansion reveal this to you?"

Mrs. Xue nodded, "A few days ago Mrs. Zhou Guogong came to talk to the old lady. It happened that sister Huan was in front of the old lady. Mrs. Zhou Guogong liked it, so she made a joke. When there was no one in front of her, the old lady would I asked, and Mrs. Zhou Guogong gave an accurate statement, saying that as long as her daughter-in-law finds a match, the marriage can be settled."

"Which young master from Duke Zhou's mansion are you talking about?"

Bai Yingluo felt that this matter was very feasible.

"The young master from the second bedroom concubine, if it is really decided, sister Huan and that Mrs. Zhou can be regarded as sisters-in-law."

Xue said with a smile.

Zhou Yunqing was the second son of the second wife of Duke Zhou's mansion. If Bai Yinghuan went to Duke Zhou's mansion this time, the person who would meet her would be Sun Yantong's mother-in-law.

Originally, these few days were very busy, and Bai Yingluo did not plan to visit Sun Yantong. Seeing Mrs. Xue coming to plan a marriage for Bai Yinghuan in person, Bai Yingluo hurriedly agreed, looked up at Liusu and said, "Send a post to Duke Zhou's mansion. , ask Sister Sun when she is free, I will go and see her, and let her know by the way, that I will take Seventh Sister with me."

Wen Xianyin knows the elegance, and Sun Yantong must know how to arrange it.

Mrs. Xue stayed for another hour, and Liusu got Sun Yantong's words and came back, saying that she would invite Bai Yingluo to Duke Zhou's mansion in three days.

It was agreed that Bai Yingluo would go to pick up Bai Yinghuan in the afternoon of that day, and Mrs. Xue left with a smile on her face.

Xu Shi already knew her intention to go to Zhou Guogong's mansion from her aunt. Bai Yinghuan's dress was very refreshing and pleasant that day. In addition, she had a gentle temperament. It's also easy to advance and retreat properly.

Mrs. Zhou thought it was a pity that her concubine had hired a concubine from the Jing'an Houfu, but seeing Bai Yinghuan in person, she felt a little more at ease.

The next thing happened in secret. Although Bai Yingluo didn't go to inquire, she also guessed that Bai Yinghuan's good news was coming, so she couldn't help being happy for her.

Busy day by day, the weather is getting colder day by day, brother Yan is getting fatter and fatter, seeing the slight changes in her son every day, Bai Yingluo is very satisfied in her heart.

Envoys from Xili, Da'an and Dawan came one after another, and the capital seemed to be a little bustling. Although Bai Yingluo didn't go out much, she also learned a lot of interesting things outside from Liu Ying.

Although it is still early for the envoy to leave Beijing, Bai Yingluo has already started preparing the gift that will be brought to the sixth princess.

Especially now that she has a pair of children, the gift should be more meticulous and thoughtful.

It was night, and the weather was cooler than during the day, worried that Du Xuan would catch cold on the way back from drinking, Bai Yingluo also ordered Chen Xiang to warm the soup on the stove, and bring the soup when Du Xuan came back.

As soon as he gave the order, he saw Suiyuan running in in a panic.

"Ma'am, son...Your master was dragged to Luoyan Residence by them, but the younger one didn't stop him."

Sui Yuan's face was as red as cooked shrimp.

"Didn't stop it?"

Repeating Suiyuan's words, Bai Yingluo was a little suspicious, what did she mean by not being stopped.

Sui Yuan murmured and said: "Young master is a little drunk, the younger one helped him and just entered the gate, they entangled him, one on the left and one on the right carried him to Luoyanju. They wore little clothes, The little one couldn't pull them away with his hands, so he just watched helplessly as the young master was carried over by them. There is a servant girl in Luoyanju, so the little one ran over to tell the madam."

Du Xuan never liked to sit in a sedan chair, even if he was drunk, he would always be carried back to Yixinyuan by Suiyuan's arm, so this happened that he was robbed halfway.

A playful sneer appeared on her lips, Bai Yingluo asked Chen Xiang and nurse to take good care of Brother Yan, and took Tassel and Liuying to Luoyanju.

As soon as he approached Luoyanju, he heard the tinkling of bells in the inner courtyard and the sound of drums.

The courtyard door opened, and Na Duo and Arnold were dancing in tube top skirts that were more revealing than that day, with flower crowns made of flowers on their heads, chains made of bells on their wrists and ankles, and holding He was playing a musical instrument that Bai Yingluo and others had never seen before, and it was the source of the drumbeat.

Du Xuan sat on the stone bench in the yard, and Na Duo and A Nuo danced around him, winking from time to time, or bending their soft waists in front of Du Xuan.

The seductive eyes, the bright scarlet lips, and the panting breasts all make people feel a little excited.

And Du Xuan, lying on the stone table drunk, looked at the two beauties dancing in front of him with blurred eyes, and beat the time with his hands like echoing.

Seeing Bai Yingluo come in, the maids and women surrounded by her didn't know what to do and quickly retreated.

The crisp bells on Na Duo and Anuo's body, as well as the beating sound of Du Xuan's hands, became more and more clearly audible.
