The more Pang Yan looked at him, the more she felt that the head of her county was really strange.
Even though I don’t like it, I still want to learn it.
This change of attitude continued until lunch time, when Ging Guo threw down the chess pieces in his hand and happily let Pang Yan help him to the dining room.
Bai Yujing was not busy today, so he came back very early.
When Ging Guo was having lunch, she saw Bai Ming next to her coquettishly.
"What's wrong?" Bai Guo put down his chopsticks and looked at Bai Mingzheng.
"Cousin..." Bai Mingzheng's round eyes were full of grievances, "You said you should give me a reward."
Ging Guo suddenly remembered that there was such a thing.
And her rabbit is still in her yard.
"After dinner, you go to my yard and pick one." As soon as Bai Guo finished speaking, he saw Bai Mingzheng's eyes were bright like something, and then he pulled her sleeve and asked: "Cousin, can I Can’t I have one more?”
Bai Guo nodded, it was nothing.
Give him the rest.
Bai Mingzheng was even happier. The meal he ate was the same as what he had stolen.
Bai Yujing knocked Bai Mingzheng hard twice, and Bai Mingzheng slowed down aggrievedly.
After dinner, Ging Guo took Bai Mingzheng to the yard, pointed to the cage in the corner and said, "Pick whatever you want, there are gray ones, white gray ones, white ones, gray ones."
Bai Mingzheng's face froze. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Bai Guo: "Is this...a reward?"
Bai Guo asked strangely: "Isn't it the plaything you want?"
This bunny is soft and cute.
Bai Mingzheng curled his lips in grievance, and then couldn't hold back the cry of 'Wow', "I don't want a rabbit!"
Bai Guo was silent for a moment, suddenly feeling that the child was not easy to coax.
"Cousin." Bai Mingzheng looked at Ginkgo with tears in his eyes: "I want crickets, grasshoppers, pricked mouths, oil gourds, golden bells..."
Bai Guo responded with silence, then replied after a while: "My cousin doesn't know these things."
Bai Mingzheng didn't expect this to be the reason, and couldn't cry for a while. He looked at Bai Guo stupidly: "Haven't my cousin played with me before?"
Bai Guo calculated carefully for Bai Mingzheng, "My cousin needs to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, medicine, flower arranging, incense making, housekeeping, and accounting..."
Bai Mingzheng was even more dumbfounded, "Does my cousin want to learn so many things?"
Bai Guo nodded, "All women have to learn this."
The noble women in front of others are all those who have spent a lot of effort to learn from others.
Bai Mingzheng wiped his own tears, "Do women have to learn so much?"
Bai Guo nodded, "You don't have to learn, but if you don't learn, it won't be easy for you to be accepted by other noble ladies, and you won't be able to play with others."
Bai Mingzheng said blankly: "I just need to practice calligraphy and study."
Ging Guo chuckled and tugged Bai Mingzheng's cheek, "You have to learn it when you are older. I feel sorry for you if I don't let you learn it now."
Bai Mingzheng wrinkled his face when he heard this, "But I don't like it. I don't like reading, and I don't like practicing calligraphy. I like crickets and grasshoppers, and I want to play with those people outside."
"Why do you like it?"
Bai Guo wiped away the tears on Bai Mingzheng's face with a handkerchief, but Bai Mingzheng was stopped by Bai Guo's question. He paused for a moment before asking, "Shouldn't you be learning after you like it?"
Bai Guo looked at Bai Mingzheng strangely, "Do you have to like something to learn?"
Bai Ming was about to say 'of course', but when he thought that Ging Guo had to learn so many things, he definitely wouldn't like them all, he couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded.
Bai Guo thought for a while and replied: "When I was learning something, no one asked me if I liked it. My grandmother told me that this is what I must learn, and these are what I must know. Some things must be mastered, and some things must be understood. , there are some things you should always remember.”
Bai Mingzheng stared at Ginguo blankly for a long time before saying, "You are such an amazing cousin."
Bai Guo laughed and touched Bai Mingzheng's head, "Maybe it's because I have never questioned why I need to learn, and I also know that these are necessary to learn, so I never feel anything or any resistance when learning, and I learn like this. It’s faster.”
Bai Mingzheng's eyes suddenly lit up, "Can you learn quickly like this?"
"It should be." Ging Guo was not sure, "How about you give it a try?"
Bai Mingzheng nodded vigorously, "Tomorrow I will read and practice calligraphy seriously. I won't contradict, won't contradict, won't contradict..."
Bai Guo touched Bai Mingzheng's little head again.
"Cousin, there are only rabbits here, do you want more?" Bai Guo said, "If you don't like it, just ask the kitchen to cook it for you."
Bai Mingzheng's eyes brightened, "Eat!"
It was indeed a child.
Finally, all the rabbits in Ginkgo's yard were cleared.
After getting up from a nap, Ging Guo continued to play chess and did not put down the chess pieces again until dinner time.
Pang Yan carefully suggested from the side: "The eldest son has been praised for his chess skills. Will the county master let the eldest son accompany you to play tomorrow?"
Bai Guo shook his head.
Bai Minghong was very busy, reading, practicing calligraphy, memorizing things, studying medicine, and playing chess and painting.
Bai Guo stayed in his house for two days. Except for greeting Bai Yujing and He Mei in the morning, he never went out except for three meals a day.
At noon on the third day, a little maid quickly walked into the courtyard and said to Pang Yan: "There is a man outside who claims to be Bian Yifan looking for my sister."
Pang Yan's eyes lit up, she went into the house and rescued Ging Guo who was torturing each other with the chessboard, "County Lord, Bian Yifan is here."
Bai Guo threw down the chess pieces, stood up and said, "Let's go together."
Pang Yan quickly took out the gauze and put it on Ging Guo.
Bian Yifan stood straight at the back door.
If it weren't for Bai Guo and Pang Yan who knew him well, others would have thought he was a scholar at first glance.
"Master." When he saw Bai Guo come out, Bian Yifan clasped his fists towards Bai Guo, and then said, "The villain has found a craftsman who can create such a good appearance."
Bai Guo glanced at Bian Yifan in surprise. She thought the first one to come must be Ge Gao.
"Where is he?" Bai Guo looked at Bian Yifan.
"We are already waiting in the store." Bian Yifan said: "Brother Ge Gao also found two people, both of whom are waiting in the store."
Bai Guo smiled knowingly, this was for Bian Yifan to run errands.
"Let's go." Gingo was supported by Pang Yan, walking as slowly and leisurely as he wanted.
Bian Yifan really experienced it. The whole process was one step at a time, but he couldn't go past Ging Guo, and he couldn't open the distance too far.
When he arrived at the store, Bian Yifan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally understood why Ge Gao didn't sell it in front of Ging Guo.
Ge Gao quickly greeted Bai Guo in the store today, "My boss."
Bai Guo nodded, sat down and looked at the three people who were found, "What kind of heads and faces can be made by three people?"
Fang Wenrui said: "The villain Fang Wenrui can do it."
"The villain Ping Jingshan can do it." Ping Jingshan was equally straightforward.
"Shang Chengtian did it too." Shang Chengtian was more confident than the other two.
Bai Guo nodded, "In that case, let's go to the shop on the other side to show it off tomorrow."
The three of them nodded in agreement.
Bai Guo looked at Bian Yifan and Ge Gao and said, "You three, go buy whatever you need and ask her to raise the money. I don't have anything there."
Ge Gao immediately agreed.
Bai Guo asked Pang Yan to stay and take them to the store on the other side, and walked slowly back to Bai's house.
What she didn't expect was that Bai Mingshu was at the door of her yard.
"County Lord." Bai Mingshu and Bai Guo saw the gift and said, "Ming Zheng's birthday will be in a few days. I came here to ask the County Lord what to give."
The little maid at the courtyard gate was originally blocking Bai Mingshu from entering, but when she saw Bai Guo coming back, she stopped her fierce look and saluted Bai Guo.
"What does it have to do with you what I give you?!" Bai Guo withdrew his eyes and was about to enter the yard.
"I just came to ask the county master. If the county master doesn't want to answer, there is no need to say so." Bai Ming Shuduan looked at Ging Guo with a pitiful look.
Gingo glanced at it and entered the yard.
Bai Mingshu was furious.
This is how it used to be.
As if they are nothing!
Bai Mingshu raised her voice and said, "Speaking of which, Mingzheng hasn't seen his second brother for several days. I wonder if Mingzheng would recognize his current second brother if he met him."
Bai Guo entered the house step by step without stopping.
"Hey!" Bai Mingshu took a step forward and wanted to follow, but was stopped again by the little maid with a cold face, "The county master is missing, please come back."
Bai Mingshu was furious, "You little bitch, how dare you talk to me like this?! I'm the third lady! The third lady in the second room of the Bai family!"
She was only one year old when Ging Guo came here. As she grew older, she realized that people here called Ging Guo 'Miss San' or 'Miss', but no one knew her!
The little maid's face was still so cold, "I would like to ask the third lady to go back, please don't make a big noise outside the county master's yard and affect the county master's rest."
The ladies are all useless, they all have to be obedient in front of the county lord.
Bai Mingshu was furious and was about to raise her hands, but she heard the little maid continue: "The second young master is still kneeling because he punished the county master. Does the third lady also want to accompany the second young master?"
Bai Mingshu couldn't hold her breath in her heart, and her raised hand couldn't fall down.
Of course she knows.
She also knew that even her father could not save her second brother.
No one can even enter that courtyard now, even if the second young master inside is dead or not.
Finally, Bai Mingshu left with a lot of anger.
Gingguo was nestled on the soft couch and slowly flipping through the books. In front of him was a half-game chessboard.
Pang Yan came back in the middle of the afternoon and reported back: "Those masters all have their own set of things that they are used to, so there is no need to prepare them. The other slaves have already prepared them, so we can let them do it tomorrow."
Bai Guo nodded and turned the page in the book in his hand, "I won't go tomorrow."
Pang Yan was a little confused. Tomorrow is the time to test the skills of those masters. Why not go?
"You go and guard it tomorrow. If there are really skilled people, stay and let them start working directly. We don't even have a finished product."
Bai Guo turned over a page of the book in his hand, "This book is actually a good book. I will teach Brother Pang Yang about it tomorrow."
Pang Yan was a little silent.
Is it because her brother is coming back that she doesn't plan to go out tomorrow?
Then...is there really nothing between the county lord and her brother?
It was obvious that both of them abided by etiquette and did not do anything transgressive.
But why do two people get along so weirdly?
"...Yes." Pang Yan said hesitantly: "Slave, please arrange for a little maid to follow the county master tomorrow?"
