Bai Guo came from Kyoto, and he went to the palace again the day before he came, and now that he was talking to him about this just after he arrived, it was hard not to make Bai Yujing think too much.
Bai Guo chuckled, "I can't hide anything from my second uncle."
Pang Yang's joining the army was well known to the emperor, so it was naturally the emperor's wish.
Bai Yujing was shocked and asked again: "But there is a war going to happen?"
Bai Guo shook his head, "Not now. Second uncle can just listen to the orders from above."
Bai Yujing understood in his heart that this was what it meant, but the time would not go so fast.
"Do you want Pang Yang to replace the above people?" Bai Yujing asked again.
Bai Guo continued to shake his head, "It's not for the people above, it's for Yan Ren. I can't tell you the specific niece."
Bai Yujing was surprised. He had never heard of the name Yan Ren. He was just a small soldier at most. Why was it necessary to send Pang Yang there specially?
"Second uncle can't say more when asking my niece again. Regarding Pang Yang, second uncle can just throw Ren Ren and Yan Ren together without taking too much care of her."
Pang Yang has the strength to convince the people in the army, but if he pays more attention to him, he will make the people in the army unhappy.
Bai Yujing naturally knew how strong Pang Yang was, so he nodded and said, "But, someone will come over on my second uncle's birthday. I just need to mention it then."
Most of the officials in the same state are there to facilitate each other, not to mention just adding an ordinary soldier to the army, which is not difficult.
"Second uncle, I want to ask one more thing. Are you here because of Pang Yang, or is there something else?" Bai Yujing felt that it didn't look like Bai Guo came to Fengzhou from Kyoto for this matter.
"There are other things." Bai Guo thought for a moment and then said: "If it is convenient for my second uncle, I can get some female businessmen identities for my niece."
"This..." Bai Yujing was startled, and immediately wanted to ask if it was the emperor's intention, but Bai Guo said, "Second uncle, don't ask."
Bai Yujing only felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to understand her niece after not seeing her for several months.
It was just a trip back to Kyoto to meet the emperor a few times, but why did I feel suddenly enlightened?
These were just a few words, but they actually made him have to cheer up.
"Then tell my second uncle, does your grandmother know about this?"
Gingguo was raised by the old lady. If the old lady didn't know these things...
"Grandma lets her niece go to celebrate her second uncle's birthday."
Bai Yujing was silent, which meant knowing.
Thinking of his stubborn elder brother, he couldn't figure out how Bai Guo persuaded him.
"Okay, my second uncle will get it for you." Bai Yujing agreed.
The one who can convince his eldest brother is afraid that this matter is what the emperor means.
But what is the purpose of letting Ginkgo do business?
Thinking of the war he had mentioned before, Bai Yujing couldn't help but wonder.
Could it be that the treasury is empty? Is it not a good time to increase taxes?
But how much can a businessman earn? She is still his niece.
Not understanding, and unable to ask any more questions, Bai Yujing agreed in a daze.
At this moment, Bai Yujing's young man's voice sounded outside the door, "Master, the second young master is here."
Bai Yujing had a headache when he heard the name. Bai Guo stood up and saluted, "Now that we have finished talking about my niece, my niece will leave first."
Baiyu nodded.
When Bai Guo walked out of the study, he saw Bai Mingshao waiting very humbly. When he saw her walking out, he smiled gently, "My cousin came to see my father, but what can I do?"
Bai Guo nodded, "It's about Brother Pang Yang entering the military camp."
Bai Mingshao looked slightly relieved, but it was not obvious, "My cousin really takes care of the servants."
Bai Guo smiled and said, "I won't bother my cousin to find my second uncle. My cousin is resigning."
Bai Mingshao watched Bai Guo leave before entering the study.
…
On the day of Bai Yujing's birthday, most officials came to congratulate her. He Mei asked people to use a screen to separate the middle of the courtyard, and men and women were seated on the left and right.
Ging Guo wore a veil and showed herself at the men's table. Everyone who was not higher in rank than her stood up and saluted her and said, "See the Lord of Kangle County!"
Bai Guo leaned forward and returned the salute, "My lords, you're welcome."
It showed that he, the head of Kangle County, valued his second uncle, and gave his second uncle face, and Bai Guo received a lot of flattery from the female relatives of the screen.
It wasn't until lunch time that He Mei brought the ginkgo into the house to use alone, "You don't have to worry about the things outside. After dinner, go back and rest for a while."
Bai Guo shook his head, "I'll show up later."
Only if she takes it seriously, those officials will feel that the emperor also takes it seriously, and the second uncle can avoid some stumbling blocks in the future.
Now that she only has this identity, she can still bring some benefits, so she naturally wants to take advantage of it.
He Mei stopped trying to persuade her and carefully touched Ging Guo's face before going out again.
Ging Guo quietly finished his meal, and only showed up to the female family members again after they had finished eating outside.
Naturally, her status as the county head meant that she did not have to accompany them to dine with them, and these people already knew about her face, so they naturally understood why she did not show her face in front of others.
"Speaking of which, does the county master know that King Dingxi of Kyoto requested from the emperor to train troops to suppress bandits?" A lady talked to Ginkgo.
Bai Guo said truthfully: "I don't know. It's just that the area around Kyoto is very safe. Where are the bandits suppressed?"
"I heard that it was from Sanxian County of Jinning Prefecture. Five hundred troops were dispatched last time, but they were all wiped out. King Dingxi felt embarrassed..." The voice suddenly paused and changed: "King Dingxi was furious. That’s when I decided to ask the emperor to train troops to suppress bandits.”
Bai Guo smiled slightly, "I see. Speaking of which, when I arrived in Fengzhou, I went to De'an County, which is next to Zisan County. I didn't hear any movement."
The lady saw that Ging Guo didn't look like he was telling lies, so she continued: "I heard that the emperor did not agree, and frankly said that this is not a matter that King Dingxi should deal with."
Ging Guo chuckled.
I am afraid that what happened on Wangyuan Mountain in Kyoto has already reached the ears of these ladies. Now I am confirming the relationship between the two with her, so that I can avoid being taboo in front of her in the future.
After all, King Dingxi is not here, but she, the emperor's beloved daughter of Kangle County, is really here.
"I have never heard of this, but the emperor certainly has his own reasons for doing this."
They all reprimanded King Dingxi, how could it be justified?
But everyone got the answer they wanted.
The Lord of Kangle County really liked hearing about King Dingxi's bad luck.
I originally thought that for the emperor to like Ging Guo so much at such a young age, he must have an unusual mind, but now everyone is no longer wary of Ging Guo at the beginning.
She's just a little girl.
It seems that the emperor was not worried about the governor of Fengzhou, so he sent an inconspicuous little daughter to watch.
"Yes, the emperor has handed over this matter to Colonel Ni Zhiyong Zhenwei. I heard that troops are being ordered to suppress the bandits these days." The lady said with a smile.
Ni Zhiyong was the third remaining son of Bai Guo's grandfather. Originally, Zhenwei Captain was a military official, but he didn't expect that the emperor would let him do this.
It is also possible that the emperor has the intention of letting him succeed General Ni as an officer.
After all, General Ni is now fifty-five years old, and it's time to replace him.
What's more important is that countless people in Kyoto had guessed about countless people before, but they didn't expect to fall into this humble sixth-grade official position.
Ging Guo smiled, "This is a happy event."
It was naturally a happy event that his uncle was remembered by the emperor and used in important positions.
Several ladies around him immediately laughed in agreement.
Sure enough, the emperor doted on the county lord, otherwise he would not have let the county lord leave the capital, and then supported the county lord's uncle. This was the emperor telling the officials in Fengzhou to treat him well!
A meal where both guest and host enjoy themselves.
Pang Yang was thrown directly into the military camp the next day.
When leaving, Bai Guo took Pang Yan to deliver it, but it was only delivered to the door of the house.
Bai Guo smiled very gently, "Brother Pang Yang, go slowly. Remember to invite the man named Yan Ren back in five days."
Pang Yang's face was stiff and he nodded slowly.
"Pang Yan, help me see off Brother Pang Yang." Bai Guo smiled at Pang Yang again, turned around and returned to the house.
Pang Yang followed Ginkgo in with his eyes.
Pang Yan looked at Pang Yang with such a wild look in her eyes, and coughed slightly in displeasure. She blamed her mother in her heart for not teaching her younger brother, so...
"The county master has found such a good job for my brother. My brother should do it well and not let the county master down." Pang Yan lectured with a straight face: "The things arranged by the county master must be done well..."
Pang Yang's face became even more ugly when he heard this, and turned around and left.
Pang Yan was so angry that she wished she could take off her shoes and slap him on the head like her mother!
But even on the street, a woman's etiquette did not allow her to do such an indecent thing.
That afternoon, after Ging Guo woke up, she put on her veil and asked Bie Xia and Pang Yan to go shopping with her.
She wants to go into business, but needs a store to cover herself first.
The shop must belong to the owner of Kangle County, so that she won't be afraid of being suspected when she often runs outside.
After walking slowly around the street, Gingguo bought some pastries and snacks, but couldn't find a store he liked.
Bai Guo was not in a hurry and took the two of them back to Bai's house.
The next day, Gingguo continued shopping, and fell in love with a house. She went in and walked around, and then came back again leisurely.
On the third day, when Bai Guo came out, he took Yu Die with him, and then he saw the shop he liked was marked with the word "Business".
Pang Yan was so shocked that her eyes almost fell off.
This is the best shop in the area. When I came in yesterday, there were no people coming and going outside without holding something in their hands.
Can you buy or sell today? !
Everyone under the ginkgo veil was satisfied, and he raised his chin to Die and said, "Buy it."
Yu Die went in obediently.
Bai Guo chose a teahouse and asked for a box by the window. When she went upstairs, many scholars downstairs couldn't help but look at the graceful and luxurious figure, and were forced to quickly look away due to the arrogant aura.
Ging Guo entered the box so wildly and wantonly.
The waiter served a few snacks and a pot of good tea with a wink, and was extremely cautious in every move, fearing to offend this woman whose temperament was obviously higher than that of the other ladies here.
Pang Yan poured tea for Ginkgo cautiously.
For the first time, I realized that many times there is no need to speak in front of power. Some people will try their best to guess and then willingly please others.
But if Ging Guo doesn't want them anymore, she doesn't need to ask. There are plenty of people to deal with them for her.
Ging Guo took a sip of tea and tasted the snacks here. After sitting for a while, he saw Yu Die coming out, holding the land deed in his hand.
Gingguo raised his chin and said, "Find someone to re-arrange the furnishings inside."
