Although he still smiled and welcomed people in order not to let others see the jokes, he wanted to hide in the room and ignore these excitements that did not belong to him.

However, Bai Shizu's little melancholy was quickly diluted, because there were a few people from the family who would not easily talk to him on weekdays took the initiative to come to him, and they seemed to be very modest.

What surprised him the most was that his boss, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, also came to the door in person, and said a few words of compliment to him, faintly revealing that he wanted to cultivate him as his successor.

Bai Shizu finally felt that he had benefited from his daughter's promotion, and after a turn of thought, he felt that he should make good use of his daughter's status as the county lord to seek benefits for himself and the Bai family.

The situation on the old lady's side is roughly like this, of course, because the county lord is holding a banquet, and there are more female guests who come, so the situation on the old lady's side is far better than that of Bai Shizu, and the old sisters in her early years were all better married than her, which made her lose face, but this time they all coincidentally picked herself up.

This made the old lady a little fluttering, feeling that although Bai Muhibiscus was disobedient, she could still be used, after all, no matter how old she was, she was also her granddaughter, even if she was the county lord, could she still disrespect her father and grandmother?

In contrast, Lu's situation is much worse, and she herself can't understand why the old lady is sought after, why her mother is treated coldly.

Of course she didn't know that these people who deliberately held the old lady were all married ideas, some for their own families, some for other families with related interests, which of these is not a human spirit. all know that now Lu's stepmother is a dispensable ornament in the eyes of the lord of Anping County, and there is no room for meddle in family affairs.

Lu was very depressed for a while, and it wasn't until Lu Zhaoan came with Hu that she felt better. hurriedly greeted her, and Hu Shi gave her a reassuring look.

After a while, I saw Hu's sister-in-law Zhou come up with a smile, Hu's brother is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, but he is a five-grade pen poster, not a big official, and her edict is far inferior to the Lu family. So when they met, they also gave Lu a big gift.

Lu hurriedly raised his hand to help him up, and said, "Sister-in-law is polite, it's all my own family!" ”

Zhou didn't pretend to be a gesture, but just said with a smile: "Thank you Duchess Guo, it's the first time that the concubine can participate in the royal banquet, this must be the lord of Anping, right?" ”

Zhou looked at Bai Yunxi beside Lu, and asked with a smile, she was about to salute, but she was helped by Hu, and she was shocked to realize that she had recognized the wrong person.

Lu's face was a little unpleasant, but he still smiled and said, "Where, that's my little daughter, Yunxi!" ”

"Oops...... It turned out to be the second lady, I looked at the birth of such a peugeot, and thought it was the county lord, this all-round bearing, really extraordinary, the concubine does not often come to the Guogong Mansion to walk around, the last time I saw the second miss was when she was six or seven years old, she became a big girl in a blink of an eye! ”

Zhou is a delicate person, and he doesn't seem to care about recognizing the wrong person, but praises Bai Yunxi very flatteringly, which makes Lu's embarrassed face suddenly brighten.

Lu said happily: "Xi'er, this is your aunt's sister-in-law, call Aunt Zhou!" ”

"Hello Aunt Zhou!" Bai Yunxi was also a little unhappy because Zhou recognized the wrong person, but when she praised herself like a flower, she was immediately happy, it seems that she is no worse than Bai Mujian, but she lacks some luck, and she can't say that she can become a county lord or something in the future.

"Don't stand and talk, take a seat, the county lord just walked away for a while, I'll introduce you later!" Lu glanced at Zhou meaningfully.

Hu and Zhou also nodded in response, and several people tacitly kept silent.

Lu Zhaoan was invited to the men's seat by Bai Shizu, and Hu and Zhou turned into the flower hall where the female guests were, and after entering, they found that there were really a lot of people who came today, and identities like Hu and Zhou could only sit in the corner.

After a while, Bai Mu Hibiscus came dressed in full costume, with a little fat powder on his face, but he looked like ice muscles and jade bones, looking forward to Shenfei, and for a while the female guests in the flower hall who were talking were a little stunned.

Several princesses and county lords even glanced at each other, and there was a strange color in each other's eyes. Among them, only Tinglan and Jinse have been in contact with Bai Hibiscus, and the others do not know about Bai Hibiscus.

Jin Se greeted him with a gentle smile and said, "Sister Anping, how are you doing lately?" ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus was slightly surprised, she didn't seem to have such a good relationship with this county lord, right? When she came up, she called her title, and added her sister, as if they had a good friendship in the past, but she clearly remembered that when the Hundred Flowers Feast, the Lord of Jinse should be on the side of Feng Ziling.

This county lord really can't be underestimated, and being able to be commensurate with his sisters without embarrassment can be seen, compared to the county lord of Tinglan, who makes many noble girls jealous, is not afraid.

Bai Mu Hibiscus also returned with a gentle smile and said, "Everything is fine, thank you Lord for your concern!" ”

Jin Se didn't have any dissatisfaction when he heard her address, but smiled and took Bai Hibiscus's hand and said, "Come, let me introduce you to the sisters, they have listened to your wonderful performance at the Hundred Flowers Feast, but they have always wanted to know you!" ”

Bai Mujian didn't mean to shake her off, and very meekly led herself to the place where the princesses and county lords gathered.

"This is Princess Chang'an, this is Princess Ning'an, and this is Princess Tai'an, they have always regretted not participating in the Hundred Flowers Feast and missed the opportunity to get acquainted with Sister Anping!" Jin Se first introduced the three princesses.

Bai Mujin hurriedly curtsied and saluted, "The minister has seen three princesses!" ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and the eldest princess Chang'an spoke: "No need to be polite, I have heard that my sister is talented, and I found that she is still a rare beauty when I see it today!" ”

When the county lord Tinglan heard this, he smiled sarcastically: "It's not just a name, hehe......"

The others also looked at each other, snickered, and whispered a few words from time to time, but the voice was just right for Bai Mu Hibiscus to hear, and what he said was nothing more than how Bai Mu Hibiscus made a fuss without regard for decency to get the title of county lord.

Bai Hibiscus always wore a tepid smile, and did not pay attention to the provocation of these people, staring at them silently, as if listening to something interesting.

The county lord of Jinse coughed lightly twice, and then said: "Tinglan, you have seen it, the sister next to her is the county lord of Yulou, the one in purple is the county lord of Lingxi, and the one in Qingyi is the county lord of Xiaomeng!" ”

Bai Hibiscus raised his eyebrows slightly and bent his knees slightly, which was considered a courtesy. A few people still sat still, as if they hadn't seen it, and they didn't intend to return the salute.

Jin Se chuckled and said, "Sister Anping, don't be polite, they are all sisters, why bother to see outside!" It's been a long time since we've been together, and it's a blessing to you! ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled lightly and said: "A few distinguished guests can enjoy the light, it is really puffy, I hope you have a good time!" ”

"It's not such a way to have fun, adults have adult play, we have our fun, what's the fun of holding it here?" The Lord of Tinglan said lazily.

Several other people also nodded in agreement: "That's it, it's weird and boring!" ”

Bai Muhibiscus hadn't spoken yet, but he saw Bai Yunxi licking his face and coming up, saluting several princesses, pretending to be innocent and cute, and said, "The courtiers have asked for peace to all the nobles!" ”

"Yo...... Who is this? Why did you come to our table by yourself, are the people in the Anping County Lord's family so unruly? "Lord Tinglan doesn't have a good impression of Bai Yunxi.

The others also snickered, and the county lord of Yulou said with a very understanding look: "You can't blame others, the county lord of Anping is a newcomer, and unlike us, it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes in the rules!" ”

These two sang and harmonized, not only turned Bai Yunxi's face red, but also deliberately used their eyes to see Bai Hibiscus's reaction, what they wanted to target was not Bai Yunxi, but this woman who was inexplicably named the county lord and overshadowed their proud women these days.

Bai Mujian glanced at Bai Yunxi and asked, "Is there something wrong with my sister coming here?" ”

Bai Yunxi originally planned to take this opportunity to meet a few real royal princesses and county lords, but he didn't expect to be so humiliated by someone just after taking a look.

Seeing that Bai Muhibiscus didn't mean to help himself, he was even more embarrassed and angry, and said: "What can I do for you, you are the lord of the county, how dare I work for you!" ”

"Lord Anping, your family is really not good, even your own sister doesn't accept you, haha...... No wonder there will be a scene of slapping your sister in Changchun Garden, which is really exciting! "The first time Princess Tai'an spoke, she went straight to the point.

Bai Mujin saw that Bai Yunxi didn't know each other, so he didn't bother to pay attention to her, and said: "If it's okay, my sister should go and help my mother greet other guests, just have this palace here!" ”

A trace of annoyance flashed in Bai Yunxi's eyes, it must be Bai Mujian who just said bad things about her, these nobles refused to take care of themselves, and now they want to drive her away, they must be afraid that they have befriended nobles and threatened her status.

Then he said unwillingly: "Mother doesn't need me there, but my sister is busy greeting all the nobles alone, and I'm afraid of being slack, so my sister came to see if there is anything that can help you!" ”

"I see, it's no wonder, it seems that the Lord of Anping is holding a banquet for the first time! The previous rumors are probably true, the eldest daughter is not as good as the younger daughter from the steproom, and she has to ask her sister to help her, hey...... It seems that I have to enter the palace and ask the queen mother to give the county lord a few powerful grandmothers to teach the county lord the etiquette of the royal family! Princess Ning'an looked like she was thinking about Bai Hibiscus.

Bai Yunxi finally understood that these people were not targeting her at all, but at Bai Hibiscus, and each of them was here to provoke Bai Hibiscus. This realization made her even more happy.

"Princess Ning'an is reasonable, my sister didn't like to see guests before, she hid in the room all day long, her mother couldn't call out, she couldn't call out when she participated in the banquet or something, and she couldn't avoid it, and many rules were learned later!" Bai Yunxi said with a smile.
