It is reasonable to say that there is no need to make such a fuss about the birthday of Dingbei Hou Shizi, and it is not a coming-of-age ceremony, but whoever let the status and status be placed there, it is inevitable to take the opportunity to come to the door to curry favor.Except for the well-connected family friends of the Zhao family, those who really post invitations are only Zhao Shizi's own interpersonal network, and most of the others come uninvited.
Ji Ran arrived at the Dingbei Hou Mansion almost at the same time as Bai Muyan, but at the same time, there was also Mrs. Lu's family who bumped into each other at the door.
When Granny Lu saw Ji Ran, she couldn't help but want to say something mean, but before she could speak, her son-in-law first saw Bai Muyan warmly greet him.
"Your official has seen Prime Minister Bai."
To Ji Ran's surprise, this Mrs. Lu's son-in-law was actually Gao Yi who had been arguing with him in the early court. Really, it wasn't that the enemies didn't get together, they didn't know each other before, so they tied the knot first.
But not necessarily.
Ji Ran looked at Mrs. Lu's mother and daughter, and met two hostile and vicious eyes. He was not annoyed, but smiled at that side instead.
Lu's mother-in-law and her daughter thought he was provocative, and almost turned their noses in anger.
There are mother-in-law Lu, mother-in-law and daughter, and it is not necessarily a coincidence that Gao Yi and Zhang Qizhong are looking for trouble for him, and it is not ruled out that Gao Yi is doing something secretly.And he also remembered that when he met Zhao Yu, it was very intriguing to use such a roundabout tactic to try to kill someone with a knife!
Ji Ran originally thought that Gao Yi would just ignore him, but he was about to go in first, but the other party turned around, clasped his hands together, "Master Ji."
Ji Ran had no choice but to return the salute, "Master Gao."
Compared to Gao Yi's enthusiasm, Bai Muyan's attitude was very cold, she just hummed from the beginning to the end, and didn't give Gao Yi a glance out of the corner of her eye.In fact, not only Gao Yi, but also Ji Ran was a bit indifferent to him, so Ji Ran guessed that there was some element of disdain for his aloofness, but most of it must be attributed to his bad mood.
As for why Bai Xiangye is in a bad mood, others don't know, but Ji Ran still remembers it fresh, like a mirror in his heart.
One after another, many descendants of officials from aristocratic families arrived. After Gao Yi, many people came to say hello to Bai Muyan, and a group of people surrounded the door, talking and walking towards the door. The matter of the moon actually stole the limelight from the master's family.
Ji Ran originally didn't want to be mixed into such an atmosphere, but he was forced to be trapped in it when no one surrounded him.Fortunately, he didn't know any of these people, so he saved himself the trouble of exchanging greetings, and just acted as the background and moved with the crowd.On the contrary, Gao Yi remembered his family, and Bai Muyan liked to ignore them, so he went in with his family after saying hello, which saved him the embarrassment of being surrounded.
Originally, only the servants of the manor were received at the door, and it is estimated that the main family was notified that Prime Minister Bai was coming, so Dingbeihou Zhao Gang and Zhao Yu both went out to greet them in person. All the officials, big and small, can be regarded as honored by Lord Bai, so they can get this honor .
Although he was an official in the same dynasty, Ji Ran was not familiar with all the ministers and officials, including Zhao Gang, so the two sides met just to congratulate, so they went in with Bai Muyan and Zhao Yu.Theoretically, it is true, Ji Ran was invited by Zhao Yu, so naturally he entertained him.
Ji Ran felt very good about this, but the only thing he had to do was, once he stood beside Bai Xiang, in the eyes of Zhao Yu, who only had Brother Bai, he became a transparent person.However, Ji Ran didn't feel bored because of being ignored, instead, he couldn't help but think about Bai Muyan's aggrieved face being entangled by Zhao Yu.
"Brother Bai, this is my favorite walnut cake, try it, it's delicious!"
"Don't eat."
"Then little white brother, you can eat this, this red bean cake is delicious!"
"Don't eat."
"Brother Bai, then this..."
"Don't eat! What is unpalatable to you?"
"I don't even like it, so let's eat roasted whole lamb later, this roasted whole lamb... Hey, yes, Master Ji!"
Speaking of roasted whole lamb, Zhao Yu finally remembered Ji Ran's existence.
Ji Ran was originally sitting on the sidelines watching the two of them secretly having fun, but now he got up and walked over when his name was called.
"Master Ji Roasted Whole Lamb is the best, and you will be the only one in a while..."
"Master Ji is a guest." Before Zhao Yu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Muyan with a cold face.
"Uh..." Zhao Yu scratched his head, "Then let the chef bake it. I've tried it before, and the taste is similar to the one baked at Master Ji's house."
As soon as Zhao Yu finished speaking, the servant who was in charge of the reception brought a few more people of the same age he had invited over.With just his temperament, he looked like a descendant of a family with similar wealth as Zhao Yu.
Among these people, the only boy who looked about thirteen or fourteen looked a little out of place.
It's not that this person's appearance is shabby, just looking at the clothes and accessories, he is not much worse than a person, but his temperament is a bit petty.But this is not the reason why Ji Ran noticed this person, but because this person has three points similar eyebrows and eyes to Lu Changyuan.
Sure enough, when the person came to him, he heard the servant say, "His Royal Highness, this is the young master of Gao Shilang's family. The adults are all bored over there. Master Hou asked the younger one to bring him here, saying that your peers are more talkative." .”
Except for Mr. Bai Xiangye, Zhao Shizi still had his eyes high on everyone else. Hearing that it was a young master from the servant's family, he didn't even glance at the corner of his eyes, but just nodded coldly.
"The villain Gao Qinglin has met His Royal Highness, I wish His Royal Highness..."
Before Gao Qinglin finished speaking, Zhao Yu interrupted impatiently, "It's alright, alright, get up."
Gao Qinglin choked, and didn't speak any more, and retreated to the side in embarrassment, shrinking behind a few people with him.
Those people obviously had a good friendship with Zhao Yu on weekdays, and they got along relatively casually now, and they sat down around without saluting and congratulating them.
However, Zhao Yu's attention was not on these people, and he stared at Bai Muyan like an eyeball from the beginning to the end. These people seemed to know something, and they always brought the topic to the two of them intentionally or unintentionally.
Ji Ran was originally focused on Gao Qinglin, but now he couldn't help being aroused, so he listened to the gossip for a long time, and then he was sure that he really didn't think too much before, and that Zhao Yu was really interested in Bai Muyan , and listened to a few people who revealed that Zhao Yu likes Bai Muyan, even Dingbei Hou Zhao Gang knows.But the most surprising thing is that Zhao Gang's doting on his son has no bottom line. Not only did he raise a good son into a crooked melon, but he also ignored his masculinity and admiration for Bai Muyan. From the perspective of attitude, it seems that as long as If his son likes it, he will support him unconditionally.
Such an open-minded father is rare even in modern times. I didn't expect Zhao Gang's thinking to be so avant-garde.
But thinking of Zhao Gang, Ji Ran was puzzled again.Even though Zhao Gang is over fifty years old, he is still a handsome man. He looked like a handsome and handsome man when he was young. How could he be so virtuous when he gave birth to a son?Is it inherited from the mother?
Thinking of this, Ji Ran couldn't help asking someone beside him, who is the mistress of the Zhao family, but in the end she found out that she was the number one beauty who was once popular in the capital. Even now, Zhao Gang is looking at it like a baby. Yes, the husband and wife have walked all the way, and they have been loving each other for decades, which makes others envious.The Zhao family has only one mistress, and Zhao Gang has never taken a concubine, because his wife hurt her body after giving birth, and she has no extra children. Parents dote on their children, and they are always spoiled.
"His Royal Highness looks like his mother. She was also a beauty carved in powder and jade when she was a child. Otherwise, Master Bai would not have said childishly that he wanted to marry someone back home as a wife." As soon as the man opened the gossip box, I can't help it, seeing that no one pays attention to this place anyway, even Bai Muyan is gossiping, "It's just that after so many years, Bai Xiang has long forgotten the child's words back then, but the son remembers it now, and all he wants to do is give Bai Muyan Quite a daughter-in-law."
Ji Ran was glad that he didn't drink any water at the moment, otherwise he would have sprayed it.I really didn't expect, ah, I didn't expect that these two people still have such a past, but was Zhao Yu a beautiful woman carved in jade when he was a child?I really didn't see the five big and three rough.
Thinking of this, Ji Ran couldn't help laughing.
"Really, I didn't lie to you." Seeing Ji Ran's smothered smile, the man thought he didn't believe him, "Zhao Shizi's appearance is not bad, but he was ruined by obesity, but he is still a foodie. Don't look at Baixiang I really dislike him, but in fact, I often indulge in it, otherwise the situation today would not be appreciated at all, and how could I let the prince pester me, Bai Xiang is so beautiful, that is well known, and the childhood love is still there, I guess I can't accept it The son of the world is full of flesh."
Hearing this, Ji Ran couldn't help but looked at Zhao Yu carefully, the facial features were indeed squeezed and deformed by the fat, even though his eyes were twitching, he couldn't see the so-called good foundation.
Ji Ran looked at it for a while, then withdrew his gaze, and when he turned his head to look elsewhere, he accidentally met Gao Qinglin's gaze.
The moment their eyes met, Gao Qinglin gave Ji Ran a hard look.
Ji Ran was taken aback for a moment, then raised his eyebrows with a half-smile.Even Gao Qinglin hated him very much, it seems that the previous guess was the latter.
If you hate him, just hate him, he's just a cowardly brat, Ji Ran doesn't take him seriously at all.
Ji Ran didn't pay attention to the little brat, but he almost got him wrong because of it.
Things have to start with roasted whole lamb.
Roasted whole lamb is the main banquet of the Dingbei Hou Mansion today. Originally, the cook was in charge of the roast, but Zhao Yu guessed that he was a little excited to see the little white brother, so he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to show off his skills. While calling out Brother Xiaobai, Brother Xiaobai felt ashamed, snorted angrily, shook his sleeves and walked away.It's okay for Xiaobai to leave when he's angry. Zhao Shizi became anxious when he saw it.
Ji Ran guessed that Zhao Yu should be pulling the cook, but in the end he made a mistake and pulled himself who was standing closest to him.It was almost time for the duck to go on the shelf, so he couldn't shake his hands, so he subconsciously roasted it, but after a while, the cook came back to his senses and stepped forward to take over the job.
However, Ji Ran never imagined that it was the skill of taking over that actually gave someone who cared about him an opportunity to take advantage of it, and put him in a big stumbling block.Or it can be said that it is a coincidence that created the reason for some people to act as monsters.
Roasted whole lamb is still a very novel way of eating for these people. It tastes good and is fresh enough. Everyone was full of praise for eating it, but when there was a lot of applause, suddenly someone fell to the ground foaming at the mouth .
Ji Ran arrived at the Dingbei Hou Mansion almost at the same time as Bai Muyan, but at the same time, there was also Mrs. Lu's family who bumped into each other at the door.
