After a group of people finished their lunch, Ni Dairou arranged for them to rest first. They were tired all the way.
He Mei did not refuse, and went to the backyard to rest. Before going to bed, she was still a little envious of Ni Dairou for having both children.
The old lady's birthday was three days later, and Ni Dairou had confirmed her purchase of some things that night. The housekeeper below spent another day running through the things and having them delivered to her door.
The remaining time is for Ni Dairou to confirm whether the invitations have been sent out, how to place things, the menu, and taboos, etc.
The maids and servants below were busy.
Pang Yang also found Ging Guo on this day and asked, "What gift should Pang Yang prepare for the old lady?"
Pang Yang is half a retainer and needs to prepare gifts.
"The medicine shop collected a five-hundred-year-old ginseng a few days ago. Brother Pang Yang can just give this to you." Ge Yin understood after Ging Guo said this and quickly asked the little maid to get it.
Pang Yang paused and said, "Pang Yang will return the money to the third lady later."
The salary of military generals is higher than that of civilian officials, even military officials.
Bai Guo did not refuse, nodded and said, "Grandma's birthday banquet may require Brother Pang Yang to entertain the generals."
This group of newly promoted military generals, the Bai family, were also invited, along with the previous military general families, and Bai Yutang was a civil servant, so there would be no mistakes in etiquette, but this was somewhat deliberate for these new generals.
But if Pang Yang comes to entertain, there won't be those problems. It shows the importance the Bai family attaches to military generals, and also gives Pang Yang a chance to reminisce with these people.
Pang Yang didn't think so much. He would only reply seriously after listening to Bai Guo's words: "Pang Yang will do it."
After the little maid brought the ginseng to Pang Yang, Pang Yang left.
And Gingguo also returned to the backyard.
On the day of the old lady's birthday, men and women were seated separately. There was an endless stream of people coming and the seats were packed.
After handing the military attache to Pang Yang, Bai Yutang instantly saved a lot of worry. He only had to show his face, and these military generals were also very happy. General Chizhong personally entertained them, which was a face-saving thing.
Gingo Guo followed Ni Dairou and He Mei to entertain her at the ladies' table. At nearly noon, Gingo Guo was quietly pulled down by Bai Mingzhi to use some pastries. Bai Mingzhi watched Gingo finish a cup of tea and suddenly felt distressed: "Third sister, are you going to come over soon?"
She followed Ni Dairou in a circle at the earliest, and later she went to play with the little sisters.
"The banquet will be held later." Bai Guo didn't feel very tired, not to mention that with Ni Dairou blocking her, she, the princess, was very leisurely.
The banquet had already started when Bai Guo went out, and Ni Dairou whispered that people had almost arrived.
There are very few flowers in the north this season, and there are only a few that can be seen.
There are a lot of things to play, but most of the people who came today were the royal ladies, and few of them actually went to play.
Bai Guo followed him to the table. Ni Dairou had already arranged everything, so she didn't need to worry.
It was the first time for Bai Mingzheng to see so many people at the table. There were more people than his father and his cousin did!
Bai Mingzheng didn't want to stay at the men's table, so he always wanted to go find Bai Guo. Bai Minghong pinned him on the chair, "If you dare to go there, don't even think about going out in the future!"
At the same time, Bai Minghong felt melancholy in his heart.
Bai Mingzheng is not young anymore, why can't he learn from his other brothers? !
Just like...
Bai Minghong looked at Bai Minglei. At such a young age, he was able to chat happily with his classmates who were brought here, and later he was led by Bai Mingtang to greet his colleagues from his father's generation.
His posture is respectful and his words are appropriate. At first glance, you can tell he is a steady and self-possessed person.
Bai Minghong, who was thinking this way, looked at Bai Mingsong and Bai Minghui.
Bai Mingsong is extremely mature, and he entertains everyone without making any mistakes. His etiquette is gentle and elegant, which makes people feel good at the first glance, and they are filled with admiration in their hearts.
Bai Minghui rarely speaks, but when he smiles, people can't ignore him. Asked among classmates
When asking about knowledge, he can also use extremely short words to make people understand. If he is refuted, he can listen carefully and understand it.
Bai Mingshao felt Bai Minghong's gaze, looked over, and then slowly moved back.
He once thought that his status was unique. Only when the news from Kyoto came out did he know what it meant to be between life and death.
Later, he kept thinking, if it was not his identity that day, would Pang Yang have already made it impossible for him to speak?
It was also at that time that he realized that identity was nothing but a trivial thing. It might be able to protect him once or twice, but it could not always be protected.
And if he continues to be like that, he will cause big trouble sooner or later.
In the first two days when I met Bai Mingshao in Kyoto, I realized that identity was nothing.
Here, everyone can make you bow your head, and also make it impossible for you to open your mouth again.
The people here are more powerful than those in Fengzhou, and he needs to be more careful.
In the past, he was afraid that he would offend people if he opened his mouth, but now, Bai Mingshao knew that he would not.
He learned about humility and what life is impermanent.
Likewise, he understands what it means to be a gentleman, gentle as jade, and what it means to stand out.
While he was still complacent about his own status, people who were more outstanding than him were already outstanding and out of reach.
Bai Mingshao lowered his eyes, and couldn't help but look at the figure that had grown taller.
The aura is chilling and the chill is overwhelming.
It was so sharp that it felt like you were facing a sharp blade.
Among military generals, his etiquette is just right and will not make people feel weak, but he does not dare to look down on this person.
He rarely spoke, but people couldn't feel the contempt on him. Instead, they felt that this person should be so cold.
But Bai Mingshao knew that this person was not.
In front of Ging Guo, the coldness all over his body disappeared, leaving only all the softness.
That is the unknown side, which belongs to one person alone.
Only that person could make him do this.
Except for this man, he is as cold as iron, decisive in killing, and his sword is so full of blood that it is impossible for him to be soft-hearted.
Bai Mingshao's eyes were a little complicated.
He couldn't understand why he wanted to trouble such a person in the first place.
He also couldn't understand how Bai Guo made this man obey him wholeheartedly.
Pang Yang felt a lot of eyes on him tonight, but there was only one that was particularly complicated.
Pang Yang looked back, bringing the distracted Bai Mingshao back to his senses, and smiled gently.
Pang Yang nodded in return, and then listened to the military commander at the same table again saying that Kyoto's rules are troublesome for everyone.
Some people say that after learning the rules, they want to kill people, and they want to hit civil servants when they see them.
Pang Yang did not answer the call.
He is a relatively special being. He has learned a lot and understands a lot.
"Where are General Chizhong's clothes made?" someone suddenly asked.
Others also looked at Pang Yang. They were new to the capital and most of them were strangers.
For them, clothes are not clothes, but civil servants insist on talking about clothes that are harmful and inconsistent with regulations.
Not long after they entered Beijing, the civil servants were already driving them crazy.
Pang Yang reported the name of the store, looked around the people present, and understood something in his heart.
The Bai family helped him take care of everything, and except for going to court, his life was no different from his previous life.
So he actually couldn't understand the difficulty these people had when they first arrived in Beijing.
But he could see now that these people were not doing well.
The people present were also aware of this problem, and looked at Pang Yang with special envy.
Some people find it a lot more convenient in Kyoto, that is, they can find a suitable shop to make clothes very quickly.
"I heard that General Pang is from Kyoto?" someone asked.
Pang
Yang shook his head and said, "When I was six years old, I followed the old lady to Fengzhou."
Someone knew something and couldn't help but ask: "Did Princess Kangle almost die of illness back then?!"
Military generals don't have much scruples about what they say, but Pang Yang couldn't hear the word recently, so he chased after him with sharp eyes almost instantly, as if he wanted to kill someone.
The man also reacted suddenly, and quickly said with a smile: "General, don't be angry, the general is quick to speak!"
Others also rushed to smooth things over, and at the same time they were not happy with the person who was speaking.
They don't know how to behave, but they don't understand. They can't do such a thing when asking someone's granddaughter during her old lady's birthday party if she almost died of illness.
Someone at the table was outspoken and said directly: "Don't you just want to curry favor with General Yan?"
General Yan is Yan Ren, who was awarded the fifth rank in this incident.
After experiencing the prosperity and rules of Kyoto, some people learned how to survive in Kyoto, and naturally they set their sights on a high-ranking place like the General's Mansion.
The whole family is loyal and loyal, and the whole world knows it.
This kind of influence is not something that ordinary places can have.
Pang Yang glanced around the table, and everyone fell silent.
It was supposed to be a moment of quarrel, but suddenly there seemed to be a disconnect.
That look was full of warning, oppression and shock.
At this time, no one will challenge the majesty of "General Chi Zhong", and no one dares to challenge Pang Yang's strength.
There was a maid at the ladies' table who informed Princess Dingxi that Princess Dingxi was here.
Ni Dairou and Gingguo came to the door to greet them, and they saw the very gentle Princess Dingxi coming out of the carriage. After seeing Gingguo and Ni Dairou, Princess Dingxi also smiled and said: "Princess Kangle, Mrs. Bai, I am here to give you Happy birthday to the old lady."
The maid behind him handed over a gift box, and Bai Guo took it with his own hands. He smiled and replied in a dignified manner: "Princess, please come in."
Princess Dingxi's visit today to celebrate her birthday was just to break the rumors in Kyoto that King Dingxi and Gingo were at odds. Naturally, Gingo would not have any opinions on this matter.
After all, whether it is Jinlin Prefecture or several other prefectures, there is still a difference between the prestige of King Dingxi and the non-prestige of King Dingxi.
Princess Dingxi did not refuse and walked in front of Ging Guo and Ni Dairou.
The old lady had already left when she heard the news. She happened to meet her in the front yard. She saluted Princess Dingxi and said, "I have met Princess Dingxi."
Princess Dingxi did not support her. She helped the old lady up and said with a smile: "Today, I am here to congratulate the old lady on her birthday. The old lady must not be so polite."
These words praised the Bai family and also said that she had a good relationship with the Bai family.
The old lady naturally heard it, and did not embarrass Princess Dingxi. She smiled and said: "Princess, please take a seat."
Princess Dingxi declined, and finally sat on the throne.
