"This is not to mention that it is extremely difficult to plant, and there are many shipwrecks in Hongliang's vassal state Fengguo, and Yifeng lives on the grasslands by robbing."
Bai Guo looked at Pang Yang who was confused and asked, "Brother Pang Yang, do you think Chengzhou's food is enough?"
Pang Yang hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
Chengzhou was a big country with the best land and the most plantings, but it was impossible for one country to save so many people.
"Yes, if Chengzhou's food is not enough, it will no longer be sold to outsiders. But what should they do if they want to live?"
Ging Guo looked at Pang Yang, and Pang Yang suddenly reacted and looked at Ging Guo with eyes full of shock.
Bai Guo did not continue, but instead said: "Brother Pang Yang, you don't have to think about yourself as a member of the Bai family. You are in the military camp now. You are a soldier of the Chengzhou Kingdom and the hope and salvation of the people of the Chengzhou Kingdom." .”
Bai Guo was serious and resolute, "So, what I hope Brother Pang Yang can do is to protect these people, so that the people of Chengzhou Kingdom feel the same as I do behind you."
The same feeling of security.
The same feeling of stability.
This is the kind of Zhou Kingdom that the emperor wants.
Pang Yang lowered his eyes, then slowly lowered his head. After a few breaths passed, he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Pang Yang will do his duty and do his best to protect the people of Zhou Kingdom."
Some people care about the common people, but some people only want to protect one person... follow this person.
Bai Guo didn't see the look in Pang Yang's eyes, he just nodded and said, "Does Brother Pang Yang still want to receive the punishment?"
"...Yes." Pang Yang raised his head and looked at Bai Guo and said, "It's different."
Go beyond and protect others...
The two things are different.
Bai Guo was dumbfounded by Pang Yang's serious look, and felt that she had said so much in vain.
His fingers involuntarily curled up and pressed on his left forehead, feeling helpless and sighing.
It's hard to find another such a simple and sincere person in the world.
There was no other person who would protect her even if he died.
"...Then let's punish it." Bai Guo looked at Pang Yang, "But I have to go out these days. Are you sure that Brother Pang Yang can protect me if I get injured?"
Pang Yang was silent for a second, wanting to say yes.
But he couldn't be sure that nothing would happen.
It was like King Dingxi's group of people suddenly came to chase and intercept him.
Bai Guo smiled and said, "Just remember it for now. I won't go out anymore. Brother Pang Yang is here to receive the punishment."
Pang Yang knew that Bai Guo did this on purpose, but he still nodded and said, "Pang Yang accepts the order."
On that day, when Bai Guo got up early in the morning, he asked Pang Yan to take out the birthday gift that he had prepared long ago.
When Bai Mingzheng was a child's mind, birthday gifts could not wait until later, so everyone in the family gave them in the early morning.
When they arrived at the dining room, they saw Bai Mingzheng looking forward to it. At least he didn't ask for a birthday gift as soon as he opened his mouth. Instead, he said hello first: "Good morning, cousin!"
Bai Guo laughed, deliberately not bringing out the birthday gift, and replied, "Good morning."
Bai Ming was looking at Ging Guo eagerly, and followed Ging Guo like a little tail. It wasn't until Ging Guo sat down that he sat down next to Bai Minghong in disappointment.
After finishing breakfast, the servants took away the things and brought fresh fruit snacks and tea.
At this time, He Mei took a box from the mother-in-law behind her, handed it to Bai Mingzheng and said, "Your birthday gift."
Bai Mingzheng wasn't really looking forward to it. After opening it, he saw a wolf hair brush inside.
"Thank you, mother." Bai Mingzheng said his thanks obediently.
At this moment, Bai Yujing took out a small square box from his sleeve and handed it to Bai Mingzheng, "It's from Zheng'er."
Bai Mingzheng was a little happy, and he opened it happily with excitement. Inside was a piece of warm jade pendant made of clear jade. On the jade pendant was an extremely beautiful and majestic Chinese character "正".
Bai Mingzheng was also shocked
For a moment, he couldn't stop touching it.
Bai Minghong laughed, "I haven't given out this gift yet, so why don't you expect me?"
Bai Mingzheng quickly shifted his gaze, looked at Bai Minghong expectantly and said coquettishly: "Brother, my good brother, you will never give your biological brother boring things, right?"
Bai Minghong smiled without saying a word, took the box from behind and handed it over.
Bai Mingzheng took it and opened it. Inside was a gold and jade hairpin.
"I've been to several stores, but this one is the only one that's not tacky." Bai Minghong said with a smile: "From now on, you have to study hard and practice calligraphy, and you have to look good."
Bai Mingzheng closed the box without even looking at it for a second time. Instead, he turned directly to Ging Guo, his round eyes shining brightly, "Cousin, what have you prepared for cousin's gift?"
Bai Guo smiled and said, "You won't be happy."
Bai Mingzheng didn't believe it.
Bai Guo took the two boxes from Pang Yan, and Bai Mingzheng's eyes lit up even more.
"This is the birthday gift that my grandmother asked me to give you. I have been stressing about it for a long time, so I will give it to you now." Bai Guo handed it to him, and Bai Mingming saluted him seriously and said, "Then please go back and thank my cousin. grandmother."
Ginkgo nodded.
Bai Mingzheng opened it and saw a land deed and some other papers inside.
He Mei next to her also saw it, and her eyes widened. She took it from Bai Mingzheng and opened it. Inside was the deed of a shop!
"Grandma said that this shop is the largest in Guwu County, Fengzhou. I thought that Mingzheng would go to school in the future and would have to have money around, so she asked me to deliver it to my cousin on my behalf."
Even if Bai Guo didn't say anything, He Mei could guess what the old lady was thinking.
The old lady is the most polite person and the most particular person.
It is precisely because of the old lady's kindness that she can teach Ging Guo to be such an outstanding person.
Bai Mingzheng's eyes were shining.
You can buy candies, you can buy golden bells, you can buy...
"Don't even think about it, I'll keep it for you." He Mei couldn't understand her son's thoughts and kept the house deed and other things directly.
Bai Mingzheng was immediately disappointed.
But there was no noise.
The second box of ginkgo was handed over, "My mother and father asked me to bring this when I left Kyoto."
Bai Mingzheng bowed once more before taking the box. Inside was a pair of fist-sized gold dolls.
Bai Mingzheng had never seen such a large piece of gold at once, and his eyes almost turned to gold. However, he knew He Mei's actions earlier, handed the golden doll over, and said pitifully: "Mother, please collect it first." ”
He Mei gave Bai Mingzheng a funny look, but her hands were not polite at all.
Bai Guo then took the third box from behind and handed it over and said, "This is the birthday gift prepared by my cousin for you."
Bai Mingzheng became happy again. He took the heavy box and opened it with all his expectations. Then his whole face froze.
Bai Guo laughed: "Second aunt just gave me a wolf hair, so my inkstone can be put to use."
Bai Minghong suddenly laughed happily.
Bai Mingzheng took out the inkstone and looked around carefully, and couldn't help but feel disappointed.
This is an inkstone.
However, Bai Minghong was attracted by the inkstone that Bai Ming was flipping, and he couldn't help but said: "This inkstone is really a good thing."
Bai Yujing also looked at the inkstone and slowly said, "My colleagues have been looking for this inkstone for a long time, but they didn't expect it to be in our own home."
This inkstone was the last one used by a great master of the previous dynasty, but it was also the ink ground from this inkstone that produced the final masterpiece.
"I got it by chance." Bai Guo smiled and looked at Bai Mingzheng, who was not very happy. "If you don't like it, I have other shapes."
Bai Mingzheng curled his lips.
It was like this last time too
He was asked to choose rabbits, but in the end, all the dinner was rabbits.
"Where is the second brother?" Bai Mingzheng placed his hope on the last person, "Is the second brother still busy? Will he not come back on my birthday?"
Although Bai Mingshao had many arguments with Bai Minghongming, he really loved and cared for this little brother.
Bai Yujing and He Mei couldn't help but look at Bai Guo.
In any case, Bai Mingshao is also Bai Yujing's son, and he was the one whom He Mei spent many years teaching.
I still hope he can come out on this day.
Bai Guo shook his head under the gaze of several people and said, "Cousin Ming Shao is very busy, but he should have prepared a birthday gift for Ming Zheng, which should be delivered to him later."
Ging Guo's expression was too natural, as if this was the case.
Bai Mingzheng had no doubts at all. He nodded obediently and said, "I won't bother the second brother. I won't bother the second brother."
Bai Guo smiled and touched Bai Mingzheng's head, "Mingzheng is really getting better and better."
Finally, everyone talked for a while before they dispersed.
As soon as Bai Guo walked out of the dining hall, Bai Yujing called out: "Zhenzhen, please keep it."
Bai Minghong took Bai Mingzheng away, and all the maids and women around him also retreated.
"Zhenzhen, my second uncle wants to ask you..."
"Second uncle and niece have nothing to ask for. As long as it's not Ming Shao's cousin's business, niece is willing to do her part for other matters." Bai Guo interrupted Bai Yujing with a smile.
Bai Yujing paused before saying, "Today is..."
"Cousin Mingshao is willing to come after thinking about it." The corners of Bai Guo's eyes were already raised, "What does the second uncle say?"
Bai Yujing nodded immediately and said, "Of course I am willing!"
When Bai Guo left, Bai Yujing couldn't help but sigh again.
Can you say you don't want to?
If he opens his mouth, he will die outside. How dare he respond? !
He Mei hesitated and said, "Maybe I'm trying to persuade Zhenzhen. It's been a few days, so I should be angry..."
She didn't even say this herself.
If you just vent your anger at the beginning, it won't be about wanting the person to die, but rather a beating or torture.
Bai Yujing said: "Look for Pang Yang."
The source of this incident was Pang Yang.
He Mei hesitated even more, how to find it?
Is it okay to use a strong tone, or to use a soft tone? A master talking to a servant like this?
Bai Yujing stood up and said, "I'll go."
He Mei nodded immediately.
After Gingguo woke up from her nap, someone outside said that Pang Yang was looking for her.
Bai Guo was a little confused. He sat up from the couch and watched Jian Xiu put on her shoes before standing up and saying, "Please come in."
When Pang Yang was led in with big strides, Bai Guo had been sitting on a chair outside for a while. Pang Yang did not raise his head to look at Bai Guo. He bowed his head and saluted, and then said, "Pang Yang needs to go back to the army for something. This time I may not be able to come back for a few days..."
After the third lady leaves, she will not come back.
Bai Guo wondered, "What's important in the army?"
If news of the war in the army spread, her second uncle should know about it first.
