Glory all the way

Chapter 316 Warmth
"What do you think?"

On the candlestick in the corner, the candle was burning quietly, and the moving flames painted agile light and shadow on the wall, which was unusually enchanting and dazzling. Seeing Du Xuan staring at the wall in a daze, Bai Yingluo shook his arm and asked.

Du Xuan thought for a while, but finally said nothing.

"So, do you want to hear my thoughts?"

Bai Yingluo blinked.

Du Xuan was stunned, thinking that Bai Yingluo was always full of whimsical ideas, so he simply sat up, not forgetting to take the jacket and put it on Bai Yingluo.

"Do you remember our previous imagination?"

Bai Yingluo asked with a smile.

Without waiting for Du Xuan to ask questions, Bai Yingluo recalled with a smile on her face and said, "You said, we are going to have two sons and two daughters, and we need brothers to fight a tiger. In this way, let the two brothers help each other, and they can live a happy life in the future." Good day. Then, when your sons and daughters are married, you will take me out to play in the mountains and rivers, just like Nanyang King and Princess."

Thinking of what he said before, a little smile appeared on Du Xuan's face.

In a blink of an eye, Du Xuan became more and more puzzled, wondering what Bai Yingluo's intention was when she said this.

Bai Yingluo looked back at Du Xuan, stared into his eyes and said, "So I was thinking, can we advance this beautiful plan."

"in advance?"

Seemingly understanding what Bai Yingluo meant, Du Xuan's heart trembled.

Bai Yingluo nodded affirmatively, "I don't think Du Yuan would propose an interview for no reason. Besides, he knows you. You have your own errands and your own family. How can you go around like him? Move around? Even so, he still wrote to you and wanted to have an interview with you. It can be seen that he felt that the matter was extremely important to both you and him. Moreover, it could not be resolved in Song Dynasty, just in Beijing. So, I was thinking, if that’s the case, why don’t we go to him? Anyway, sooner or later, these problems will have to be faced and resolved.”

As she spoke, Bai Yingluo breathed a sigh of relief, "We always have to go out for sightseeing, this time, we don't want to carry that heavy burden in our hearts, just treat it as a trip to visit the mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty, stop and go along the way Stop and take a look at the scenery along the way, won't you? The ancients often said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books."

Du Xuan seemed to be stunned.

When he saw the two words of interview, Du Xuan could even feel the contradiction and struggle of Du Yuan when he wrote those two words. Everything, go to Loulan to find Du Yuan, and then find the truth with him.

But that impulse was only for a moment.

The family is here, the errands are here, and there are so many missions, how can he abandon everything irresponsibly, just for his own private affairs?

Looking at Bai Yingluo with fixed eyebrows, Du Xuan only felt that there were thousands of words in his chest, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Mother Luo..."

At this moment, only his mother Luo understood him.

Life is alive, and if you get a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?

Holding Bai Yingluo in his arms, he lowered his head and kissed her between her brows. Du Xuan said with some regret, "I've thought about it, but I dare not take action."

"Once I leave, my future, my fame and fortune will be considered as the end. These are things outside of me, and I naturally don't care, but I can't be so selfish and ignore you. Give up all that, and you will go out in the future , those wives will look down on you, and our children will be criticized for it when they grow up, so I can't."

"Besides, there is also the Hou's Mansion... Grandfather, grandmother and uncle are all sincere to me. If I ignore all these, then I will let them down and lose my original intention."

Muttering the thoughts in his heart, Du Xuan felt that his heart was getting more and more chaotic, and he still couldn't figure it out.

"But that's just your idea."

Bai Yingluo sat up and looked at Du Xuan and said, "You think of the worst scenario, but I don't think God will arrange it like this. Even if there is any change in it, the result of the matter will not be what you imagined. So, we shouldn’t be so pessimistic, at least we should give it a try, what do you think?”

The bright eyes were full of affirmative encouragement, Du Xuan looked at Bai Yingluo, and his heart that was originally firm began to soften and shake little by little.

"Luo Niang, can I really fight for this? Can I really?"

Lowering his head, Du Xuan spoke softly, rather than asking Bai Yingluo, it would be better to say he was asking himself.

"Don't you respect your grandfather the most and trust him the most? When you return home the day after tomorrow, you will tell your grandfather the whole story in detail, listen to his opinion, and make a decision at that time, how about it?"

Bai Yingluo came up with an idea.

Thinking of Old Master Bai's hale and hearty eyes, and thinking of Jing'anhou's steady gaze, Du Xuan suddenly felt a little confidence in his heart.

Although he didn't know what kind of advice they would give, Du Xuan seemed to already have support, not as dazed as when he just read the letter.

Almost fidgeting after the second year of junior high school, and early in the morning of the third junior high school, Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo brought the prepared congratulatory gifts and returned to the Jing'an Hou Mansion with brother Yan in their arms.

The third day of junior high school is the day when married girls return to their natal homes for New Year greetings.

Accompanying old master Bai and old lady Bai to have breakfast, the three sisters Bai Yingping, Bai Yingqiao and Bai Yingyun came back one after another, gathered in the main room of Qing'an hall, and Yingyingyanyan was very lively.

Bai Yingqiao is already seven months pregnant and has a big belly. Xu has already learned from Mrs. Wen that the baby is a boy. Bai Yingqiao has a very good complexion and even has a smile in her eyes.

Bai Yingyun, on the other hand, looked at her with a forced smile.

After giving birth to Sister Ting, Bai Yingyun's body became a bit plumper than before, and the youthful and nasty look between her brows and eyes has receded. Now at a glance, she gives people the impression of being shrewd and aggressive and not easy to get along with.

Seeing that Brother Yan is so lively and cute that Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Xue like her, and Sister Ting, who is still a baby, is not cared much about. Bai Yingyun feels more and more that she has given birth to a daughter. of shelter.

Thinking this way, Bai Yingyun's nose was not her nose, and her eyes were not her eyes. After sitting for a while, she carried Sister Ting to Qiu Ranxuan.

The whole family gathered together for lunch, and the table where Bai Jinyuan and other brothers and sisters-in-law sat was particularly lively.

After experiencing the assassination that night with Du Xuan, among the brothers-in-law, Bai Jinyuan felt more and more that Du Xuan was a good person. In addition, Du Xuan could drink a lot, so Bai Jinyuan kept shouting to drink with Du Xuan.

Yan Bingqing entered the Hanlin Academy after passing the Jinshi examination. With the blessing of his family, it took seven or eight years before he became a fifth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Rites. Among his peers, he was already considered a leader. It took less than two years to become a doctor in the Ministry.

Therefore, headed by Yan Bingqing, He Zhen, Su Wenyuan and others chased after him to ask Du Xuan the secret of his promotion, jokingly telling him not to hide his secrets.

When old master Bai and old lady Bai heard this, they giggled and let them make trouble.

For a moment, the room was full of laughter.

After lunch, everyone went back to the house to rest. After taking a nap, Bai Yingping, Bai Yingluo and Jia Shi accompanied the old lady Bai to play leaf cards. Du Xuan got up and respectfully invited the old lady to the study.

Looking at Du Xuan's back, Xue's eyes revealed a hint of thoughtfulness.

After a stick of incense, the door of the inner study room opened, and the servant who usually served Old Master Bai's pen and ink rushed to Mingya Garden and invited the Marquis of Jing'an to the study room.

Listening to Du Xuan's original account of everything that happened after Princess Qingcheng entered Beijing, and knowing that Du Yuan is the third son Bai Yi who is loved by Princess Qingcheng in the Princess Mansion, there is no surprise on the faces of Old Master Bai and Marquis Jing'an .

After hearing Du Yuan's letter on New Year's Eve and Du Xuan's rough guess, Jing'an Hou's face was a little moved. Come to think of it, he didn't expect that Du Xuan really had something to do with the Loulan royal family. .

"Then do you have an idea yourself?"

Old Master Bai took a sip of tea, Fang looked at Du Xuan and asked.

After hesitating for a while, Du Xuan presented his hesitation and Bai Yingluo's analysis one by one, and said with a guilty face: "Go, or not, I have been struggling these days, and my heart is full of contradictions. So, I want to hear the opinions of my grandfather and uncle, after all, the authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear."

"If I say that it is very difficult to get all this now, and I don't agree with you giving up these things, I think, with your temperament, you will definitely obey. But you ask yourself, after a few years, when you are very old, you will think about it. Wake up, do you regret today's decision? Young people, naturally have an impulsive side, but sometimes, impulsiveness is not necessarily a bad thing..."

The old man Bai thought about it.

At first glance, it seems that a suggestion has been given, but after careful consideration, it does not mean what he heard at all. Du Xuan was surprised at first, and then pleased, as if he couldn't believe it.

On the side, Jing'an Hou analyzed the current situation: "Yu Shi, this is your life experience, no matter who you are, you have to figure it out clearly, so no matter what decision you make, we will support it. Even if you There will be rumors and gossips in the future, they will all be guessed by others, as long as you don't care and don't take it to heart, why bother what they say?"

Seeing Old Master Bai nodding his head, Marquis Jing'an continued: "For Yu Gong, if you are really a member of the Loulan royal family, whether you recognize your ancestors and return to the clan in the future, or stay in the capital, you will definitely be respected in the officialdom." There is a place for you, so you don’t have to worry about the decision you make will ruin everything you have gained through hard work. You recognize your ancestors and return to the clan, and you will be rich in the future. If you stay in the capital, Da Song will have a relationship with Loulan A slight connection is even more beneficial and harmless to your Qingyun Road, so, no matter what the situation is, what the future will be like may not be what we can guess today."

Seeing Du Xuan's face became more and more happy, Jing'an Hou said with a gentle smile: "So, whether you go or stay, it's all in your heart. Outside, you are the number one scholar of the scenery, and you are in front of the emperor and His Royal Highness. Red man, close the door, you are just the sixth son-in-law of Jing'an Houfu, we are all your family, even if you do something wrong, as long as your heart is good, we will find a way to help you, It’s not about standing idly by. So just be bold and do what you think is right.”

It was quite different from what I expected, looking at the kind old Mrs. Bai and the kind Marquis of Jing'an in front of him, carefully pondering what they said just now, a warm current flowed through Du Xuan's heart.
