Pang Yan agreed, and Bai Guo took Yu Die back to Bai's house.
On the fourth day, Gingguo asked Yu Die to go out and decide on a shop in the opposite direction to the first shop, far away from the busy city. The shop had a backyard, and the city wall went out from the back door of the backyard. It could be described as inaccessible.
During the rest of the time, Bai Guo let the two of them learn to read and read as usual, until Pang Yang forcibly brought Yan Ren back in the name of the county master on the day of rest.
Bai Guo chose an octagonal pavilion in the front yard to entertain guests. There was no obstruction around the octagonal pavilion. People walking by could see the people inside clearly, but could not hear the sounds inside.
Ginguo also asked people to place gauze around the octagonal pavilion to block the interference of mosquitoes, and placed the refreshments she had tasted in the teahouse that day. The waiters left Bie Xia and Pang Yan.
The most important thing is that he invited Bai Minghong to accompany him, so he can't fault it.
Yan Ren's face was extremely ugly when he came to Bai's house.
But when he saw such a formal scene in the small pavilion, he reluctantly softened his expression. He shook his arms twice without shaking off Pang Yang, who had dragged him along the way, and his expression turned ugly again.
Pang Yang also saw the scene of the octagonal pavilion, and let go of his hand. Yan Ren was able to straighten his clothes, walked into the pavilion amid the gauze opened by Bie Xia and Pang Yan, and said to Ging Guo: " I’ve met the county lord.”
Bai Guo nodded, motioned to the person opposite him and said, "Sit down."
This scene was too formal, so Yan Ren took his seat after thinking for a while.
"Brother Pang Yang, sit down." Bai Guo did not speak to Yan Ren directly, but gestured to the seat next to him, opposite Bai Minghong.
Pang Yang glanced at Yan Ren and sat down.
Four positions, all seated.
Bie Xia and Pang Yan poured tea for the four of them respectively, took two steps back and stood behind Ging Guo.
Yan Ren didn't know why Bai Guo asked him to come here. He glanced at the veiled man opposite and asked, "I wonder why the county master asked Yan Ren to come here?"
Yan Ren specially emphasized his surname Yan.
Bai Guo heard it and chuckled: "Master Yan, don't be nervous. Although Kang Le has only been back to Kyoto for a few months, he has heard of Mrs. Yan's name."
Mrs. Yan, Yan Ren’s mother.
Mrs. Yan's family was full of loyalists, and she was the only woman left. But in order to keep this honor, she resolutely went to the battlefield.
The General's Mansion was preserved because of Madam Yan, and Madam Yan was also a first-class wife personally named by the Emperor.
As for why he didn't directly seal the general, Bai Guo didn't know.
Yan Ren was even more confused. Since he knew his identity, why did he have to be forcefully brought here today?
"County Lord, the second young master is here." Bie Xia reminded him warmly.
Pang Yan had been staring at her brother, whom she had not seen for a few days, and felt that the county boss treated her brother with great respect.
With all the emotions in my heart, I suddenly came back to my senses when I heard the voice. I saw that the person was coming from my direction, but I was distracted and didn't see it. I couldn't help but feel a little red on my cheeks.
Bai Guo raised his eyes and saw two people walking towards him on the winding path. It was Bai Mingshao and the boy beside him.
Bai Minghong held his forehead with a headache, but he was obviously used to Bai Mingshao's approach.
Not to mention Bai Guo, who directly ordered: "Add a chair next to cousin Minghong."
Bai Mingshao happened to walk in. When he heard this, he glanced at the four people in a circle. He was a little dissatisfied that Ging Guo would not let Pang Yang, a servant, give up his position to him. However, thinking that this was Ging Guo's banker, he could only bear it.
"Brother." Bai Mingshao handed over to Bai Minghong.
Bai Minghong nodded lightly, motioned to sit on the newly added chair next to him, and said, "Let Le Nei guard outside."
Le Nei is the guard trained with Fu Nai, Pang Yang and others, and follows Bai Mingshao.
The person next to Bai Minghong is called Wenhei, and the person next to Bai Mingzheng is called Liu Zuo.
Bai Mingshao saw that only the two maids beside Bai Guo were present, so he waved his hand to signal Le Nei.
Le Nei took the order, glanced at Pang Yang who was sitting, turned and left.
Bai Guo stood up and saluted Bai Mingshao, "Cousin."
Bai Mingshao nodded, and then they both sat down.
Yan Ren picked up the tea cup and drank tea, wondering what the fuss was about.
"Kangle invited Mr. Yan here today because he has some issues and wants to hear Mr. Yan's opinion." Bai Guo's words were very polite, but his eyes were very sharp.
Yan Ren didn't know if his mother had any issues with this person, but he was already sitting here.
Seeing that the other party left Pang Yang behind, he knew that he would never let him leave like this today.
"Yan Ren is not talented. I don't know what the county leader wants to ask." Yan Ren became a little cautious.
"Young Master Yan must have been in the army for more than a year, and he has not been able to return to Kyoto to see Mrs. Yan for more than a year. So Kang Le's first question is, how does Young Master Yan view the affairs of his family and country?"
No one else can see Ginkgo's expression under the veil, but those eyes are serious and calm.
Yan Ren was a little puzzled.
What kind of problem is this?
With this in mind, I was a little embarrassed when I answered, "Without a home, there is no country, and vice versa. The country is everyone's home, the country is also a home, and the home is also a country. Without a country, there is no home."
"Well, this is Confucianism. Country and family are closely related and inseparable." Bai Guo stared at Yan Ren, "But Kang Le asked Mr. Yan his own opinion."
Yan Ren looked at Bai Guo's eyes and began to think about what kind of situation this was, to be so unforgiving.
The heart is tight, and the posture is calm and unhurried when speaking, "In ancient times, if you want to show your virtue to the world, you must first rule your country; if you want to rule your country, you must first regulate your family; if you want to regulate your family, you must first cultivate your body. "Those who wish to cultivate their body must first rectify their mind. If their mind is rectified, then their body will be rectified. If their body is rectified, then their family will be in order. If their family is in order, then the country will be in order. If the country is in order, then the world will be peaceful."
Bai Guo chuckled, "The "Book of Rites·University" in the Four Books. But this view is from a time of war, when there were many vassal states and wars continued."
Yan Ren's heart sank. This was just the first question and this person was so well prepared. Who knew what would follow? !
"This is what Yan Ren has read since he was a child, and it is what Yan Ren must abide by. Naturally, it is also Yan Ren's opinion." Yan Ren looked directly at Bai Guo, "Yan Ren really doesn't know what kind of answer the county master wants."
It's about what kind of answer you want, not what his answer is.
Bai Minghong drank tea quietly, he was just keeping company today.
Bai Mingshao had doubts, but he didn't say anything in front of outsiders, imitating Bai Minghong to drink tea.
When Bai Guo heard this, his eyes slightly raised, and then he said, "Brother Pang Yang has offended Mr. Yan? Why is Mr. Yan so guarded against me?"
Pang Yang's face was tense, and he spoke stiffly: "Pang Yang used some brute force... to bring it here by force."
The corners of Ging Guo's mouth rose up under the veil, and because it was never good to laugh out loud, Ging Guo still endured it.
"Brother Pang Yang said that, I'm a little curious." Bai Guo's eyes turned to Yan Ren with a smile, "I wonder what urgent matter Master Yan is?"
Even if the county lord is summoned, not everyone can have the position of county lord, even if he has no real power.
But no matter what, Yan Ren himself was given some face by others because of Mrs. Yan's son, and because a county leader should not have intervened in the army, so the rejection was not a big deal.
But one thing is that the county lord is not favored by the emperor.
Ginkgo obviously has no connection with this premise.
Yan Ren's face turned purple with anger at such arrogant words.
He's not in a hurry, he just doesn't want to come over, right? !
"Kang Le treats each other with courtesy, but I didn't expect Mr. Yan to be so hostile to Kang Le. In this case..." Bai Guo's eyes revealed his wantonness, "It's better to use Brother Pang Yang's method to be more effective."
"Cough cough cough cough..." Bai Minghong choked on a mouthful of tea, his eyes full of horror.
Is this still his gentle and peaceful cousin who has been quiet for ten years? !
Bai Mingshao couldn't help but look at Ging Guo frequently.
This... is really a bit... arrogant.
Yan Ren's face turned pale.
He shouldn't think these people have any manners!
Pang Yang also realized that Bai Guo had no intention of blaming him at all, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then forced his way towards Yan Ren with a chilling coldness!
This man is really troublesome, he can't even say a few words properly!
Secretly, Yan Ren almost gritted his teeth, "It's not Yan Ren's fault, Yan Ren... please atone for your sins, the county master."
The words were spoken with gritted teeth.
Ging Guo didn't care, because it was rare to be able to control himself from laughing out loud.
I really didn't expect that Yan Ren would be so magnanimous when I saw him in my last life, but it turned out that he was so... two years ago today...it's unbearable.
Bai Guo's eyes were moist and bright because of the smile she had been suppressing, and because of this brightness, the fake affection in her eyes seemed to become true.
Pang Yang's eyes hurt when Bai Guo looked at Yan Ren, his eyelids trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes for a while.
This time Yan Ren was no longer perfunctory. After thinking deeply, he said: "The situation in Yan Ren's family is different, but Yan Ren is for the country. He joins the army to protect the country. Protecting the country is important for the people to live and work in peace and contentment and for the prosperity of the world to be stable. Yan Ren wants this scene It reappeared in the Chengzhou Kingdom, so in Yan Ren's place, the country is put before the family, and the family can be sacrificed for the country."
You can sacrifice your family for the country...
The smile in Bai Guo's eyes was mocking.
In the previous life, Yan Ren did not serve the country, but his own selfish desires.
"Master Yan's views are somewhat different from Mrs. Yan's." Bai Guo said bluntly: "Mrs. Yan is patriotic, but she must ensure the glory of the Yan family. The glory of the Yan family must occupy a position in the country, that is, the family must be placed above the country."
The glory of the Yan family was built over generations, and was built through the loyalty of the whole family.
Madam Yan couldn't understand what the Yan family was doing for generations, but Madam Yan insisted on holding on to this honor.
Because as long as this honor is still there, everyone in the Yan family will be there.
Yan Ren was shocked and his face turned a little pale.
No matter how brave Mrs. Yan was, she would never tell anyone else, so how did Ging Guo know? !
"As far as Kang Le knows, Mr. Yan joined the army because of Mrs. Yan. Mrs. Yan wanted to add the word "Zhenguo" in front of the general's mansion."
Gingo naturally knows this, because she met Madam Yan once after her face was ruined in her previous life. Madam Yan said this bluntly and asked her not to appear in front of Yan Ren again, so that he could work for the Yan family with peace of mind.
Yan Ren's heart was beating wildly, and he looked at Ging Guo without blinking, unable to see clearly the origin of the woman in front of him.
How do you know how to be so detailed? !
"Where did the County Lord hear these arrogant words?" Yan Ren could barely maintain his expression, "The Yan family has been loyal to the country for generations. It would be better for the County Lord not to slander the Yan family at will, otherwise the other soldiers will be chilled."
