Glory all the way

Chapter 8 Uneasy
"From now on, you will change your name to Xiangzhu."

Looking at the little girl in front of her with bright eyes and a pleasant face, Bai Yingluo said softly.

"Miss Xie for the name."

Xu Shi had already learned the rules, Xiangzhu bowed and bowed, got up and stood obliquely in front of Bai Yingluo, with his head slightly lowered, with an obedient appearance of not looking sideways.

"Mother Zhao's granddaughter is really cute. Don't worry, Yi'an Pavilion is full of good-natured people. She can't stand being wronged here."

Liuying moved Xiaozhuzi to ask Mama Zhao to sit down, looked at Xiangzhu a few times, and said to Mama Zhao with a pursed smile.

"Miss Six, Xiu'er, I'm wrong, it's Xiangzhu. It's not that the old servant praised his granddaughter for being good. Xiangzhu's temper is the best. Now that she is still young, she has been put in the yard for a few years of experience. Miss Six can be trained and trained, if it is useful in a few years, you can assign errands as well."

Zhao's mother looked at Xiangzhu lovingly, then turned her head and said to Bai Yingluo.

"Okay, don't worry, see you next time, Xiangzhu will definitely grow taller and fatter, and she will never lose a little bit of meat."

Bai Yingluo said jokingly.

"Then the old slave will not delay, and will go back now."

"Xiangzhu, take Mother Zhao out."

After receiving the order, Xiangzhu held Mother Zhao's hand, and the grandparents and grandchildren went out.

After taking a nap and getting up, Bai Yingluo was about to go to Qing'an Hall to talk to Old Madam Bai. Before she went out, the curtain was raised, and Liu Ying came in with wind under her feet, and said, "Miss, the eldest lady is back, and now she is in Qing'an Hall. Ma'am, please hurry up, ladies."

"Miss is back?"

Saying happily, Bai Yingluo didn't stay any longer, and brought Liuying and Xiangzhu to Qing'an Hall.

As soon as she entered the courtyard gate, she could hear the sound of laughter in the main room, and a happy smile appeared on Bai Yingluo's lips involuntarily.

Entering the house, beside the old lady Bai, there was a pretty woman in her twenties.

The woman was wearing a water-red slanted skirt, and a plain white pleated skirt on her lower body. She had a melon-seeded face with red phoenix eyes, and a fair complexion, which set off her black hair like ink.

There were not many pearl hairpins on her head, but at a glance, the bright smile on her face made her look radiant.

"big sister……"

After paying respects to Old Madam Bai, Mrs. Xue and others, Bai Yingluo called that woman with a smile.

This woman is Bai Yingping, the eldest lady of Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Bai Yingping is the eldest daughter of the Xue family. She was loved by the old master Bai and the old lady Bai like a pearl in Jing'an Houfu.

"It's only been a few months since we saw each other, and the sixth younger sister is getting more and more charming."

Bai Yingping boasted.

"Big sister made fun of me as soon as she came back..."

Shyly hiding beside the old lady Bai, Bai Yingluo took advantage of the surprise and winked at Bai Yingping. Immediately, the smile on Bai Yingping's face became deeper and deeper.

While speaking, all the ladies in the mansion arrived.

In the fourth house of the Hou Mansion, apart from the third house where Bai Yingluo is the only one left, the children from the first house, the second house and the fourth house now have nine young ladies and eight young masters.

Among the nine young ladies, the oldest is naturally Bai Yingping, and the youngest is only four years old.

At this moment, except for the married second lady Bai Yingqiao and the third lady Bai Yingxiu, the other seven girls were sitting around the old lady Bai. For a while, the main room of Qing'an Hall was full of singing and laughter.

After receiving six brocade bags from the maid, and handing them to the younger sisters one by one in order of size, Bai Yingping said with a playful smile: "The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is so beautiful that it can't be described in the paintings. They are all small things, my sister." Let's take it to play. There are still some big objects, I will ask the servant girls to send you to the house later."

"Thank you big sister..."

There was a chorus of thanks from the girls in the room.

Taking the brocade bag from Bai Yingping's hand, the tentacle felt like a horn comb and a small vanity mirror. Bai Yingluo turned her head and handed it to Liuying to put it away. Turning her head to look, everyone else had already opened it to look at it. Get up, from time to time exultantly shout a few times, whispering to each other for comparison.

When Bai Yingping saw it, her gaze slid past Bai Yingluo's body calmly and landed on her mother Xue Shi.

After the Chinese New Year, Elder Yan retired to Jiangnan, and Bai Yingping and her husband-in-law sent their grandparents there according to their parents-in-law's wishes. After this trip, they stayed in Jiangnan for a few months.

Now that she came back, when Bai Yingping talked about the customs and customs in the south of the Yangtze River, she was full of vivid excitement, and even the listeners seemed to be in it, full of longing.

Until dinner was approaching, the men from the yamen and the school returned, and the Qing'an hall became more and more joyous.

After dinner, Bai Yingluo bowed to her grandparents and all the elders, and returned to Yi'an Pavilion with Liuying and Xiangzhu.

Sitting on the soft couch drinking tea, seeing Xiangzhu walking out and looking back at her at the same time, Bai Yingluo immediately knew that Xiangzhu might have something to say to herself.

"Xiangzhu?"

Bai Yingluo called her back and asked, "What's wrong?"

After hesitating for a while, Xiangzhu came over and said in a low voice: "Miss, when you were at the old lady's place, the servant girl went to talk to her grandmother. The servant girl's grandmother said that the eldest lady came back this time because of someone's entrustment."

"Entrusted by others? What do you mean?"

With a dazed expression, Bai Yingluo looked at Xiangzhu hesitantly.

When Bai Yingluo asked, Xiangzhu became more and more hesitant for a moment, and Bai Yingluo suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Tell me, I can bear it..."

Bai Yingluo said in a deep voice.

"The eldest son of Zhongyonghou's family was seriously ill. Even the imperial doctor shook his head when he saw it. I'm afraid he won't be able to survive this winter. Later, I don't know where Zhongyonghou's mansion found a wandering eminent monk. The monk said, give it to the son. Marry a daughter-in-law to celebrate the joy, and the son's illness will be cured within three years, so, so..."

Xiangzhu thought of the embarrassment in her grandmother's words when she said these words to him, and looked into the eyes of his young lady, and couldn't help showing a little bit of pity and sympathy.

Bai Yingluo suddenly felt as if she had fallen into a deep well in the twelfth lunar month, and her heart trembled from the cold.

"Mrs. Zhongyonghou, entrusted Mrs. Yan, the eldest sister came back after receiving the letter, right?"

Bai Yingluo tightly grasped the edge of the Kang table, and asked calmly.

Xiangzhu shook his head, "Mrs. Beining went to various banquets these days, and wanted to meet her favorite daughter-in-law. Mrs. Zhongyonghou entrusted this matter to Mrs. Beining. The eldest lady learned about it from Mrs. Yan's mouth." , taking advantage of the time when I just came back from Jiangnan to pay my respects to the old lady and the eldest lady, I said this."

"Madam Bei Ningbo has a crush on me?"

Thinking of the meeting that day, although Mrs. Bei Ningbo was very happy with herself, her words were quite tentative, a trace of self-mockery appeared on Bai Yingluo's lips.

Mrs. Beining was running around in the capital, seeing her daughter-in-law in person, it was no secret among the wealthy families.

After she left Jing'an Hou's Mansion, the maids in the Hou's Mansion privately speculated that if the third master and the third wife were still there, the one Mrs. Bei Ning fell in love with might be Miss Six.

Hearing such words, although Bai Yingluo was not complacent, she was not unhappy.

But at this moment, knowing that Mrs. Bei Ningbo has other plans, Bai Yingluo suddenly felt that the previous self-indulgence was too serious.

What's even more unworthy is that after that day, for Mrs. Beining's compliments, Bai Yingyun made a lot of arrangements for criticizing Sang and scolding Huai. Even though Mrs. Beining gave a purple pattern pendant in the end, Bai Yingyun was a little proud, but she still didn't let it go. Pass Bai Yingluo, otherwise, how could there be that time when she framed herself.

If Bai Yingyun knew the inside story, she might not be happy in time, right?

Heartbroken, Bai Yingluo looked at Xiangzhu anxiously, "Have you heard any other news?"

She lowered her head and pondered for a while, Xiangzhu shook her head, Bai Yingluo waved her hand, signaling her to back down, and at the same time, raised her voice to call Chenxiang in.

After telling Chen Xiang all the news from Xiangzhu, Bai Yingluo said in a slightly flustered way: "In the past few days, when you have nothing to do, you often go to Qing'an Hall. Ask about it and see what else we don't know."

Unexpectedly, Chen Xiang disapproved.

"Miss, we don't know anything now. If we act rashly, the old lady and the eldest lady will definitely be displeased when they find out. This servant feels that it is better to wait and see what happens."

Said, Chen Xiang comforted softly: "What's more, even if this matter is true, with the old lady's love for you, you will never be wronged like this."

Chen Xiang's words made Bai Yingluo feel inexplicably relieved.

After calming down and thinking about it, what Chen Xiang said made sense, Bai Yingluo nodded, and said with a wry smile: "The authorities are confused, just now, I was really panicked."

Turning around, made a bowl of tea, came over and handed it to Bai Yingluo. Chen Xiang said in a low voice, "The Zhongyonghou Mansion's way of handling things, a good family, would never marry their daughter. The happiness of a girl's life is nothing, so even if there is, she will definitely not be a prostitute like Miss."

"However, they won't marry a concubine to be their concubine."

Bai Yingluo shook her head and said.

As the two talked and talked, they felt that their minds were becoming more and more chaotic.

Drinking the cold tea in one gulp, letting the cool tea spread through her internal organs, Bai Yingluo calmed down and said, "We said these things in private, so remember to keep your mouth shut when you go out. Knowing that we openly talk about our marriage, the people of Yi'an Pavilion will feel even more ashamed in this mansion."

"Miss, don't worry, this servant knows well, so I won't even tell Liusu and Liuying, this servant will not tell them."

Chen Xiang solemnly replied.

With regard to Qing'an Hall, only if you are as steady as Chen Xiang, can you find out what Bai Yingluo wants without being noticed by others. The others are Tassel and Liuying. Bai Yingluo trusts him so much, but still dare not take this risk.

Turning around and about to exit the inner room, Chen Xiang paused, turned her head to look at Bai Yingluo and said, "Miss, because of Mother Zhao, I think it's a bit inappropriate for you to believe in Xiangzhu's words like this. You can't be defensive. none……"

Bai Yingluo looked up, Chen Xiang hesitated for a moment and continued: "Mother Zhao is the old lady's companion, but Xiangzhu's mother has a very good relationship with Wang Hui's family."

With a dazed expression, Bai Yingluo nodded slowly.
