Mosquito's eyes suddenly brightened. She cheered, "Long live my brother-in-law!" and rushed to him happily. Huzi was so shocked that he hurriedly pulled her. "Slow down, slow down. Don't hurt the baby." p
Mosquito got rid of his hand indifferently. "What are you afraid of? Brother-in-law, a miracle-working doctor, is here. Even if the baby is hurt, it doesn't matter." p
"That's true, but it's better to be careful." p
Ding Ning shook his head helplessly. Why did Mosquito's eyes light up when she saw the supreme beauty? It was the same as Ling Yun's feeling when he saw a pile of money. p
"Huzi, hurry up. Pack up all these cosmetics and take them away. These days, I was almost annoyed to death by those who wanted goods. Brother-in-law has helped me a lot." p
Mosquito happily took a set of cosmetics and caressed it lovingly. She gave orders very casually. p
"Okay, I'll find a few big bags to put them in. It's easy to carry them." p
Huzi ran to the waiter to ask for plastic bags. It seemed that he had been eaten by Mosquito in this life. p
Seeing this scene, Ding Ning was in a trance for a moment. Mosquito had been in love with Dai Zhefeng for many years, but there was no result. p
Now, she finally found her home. Maybe Huzi could not bring her a passionate love like Dai Zhefeng, but ordinary love might be more suitable for her. Even the smile on her face seemed so happy. p
"Brother-in-law, what are you looking at? Is there something on my face? Or have you fallen in love with someone else and fallen in love with me? Why don't you elope with me when Huzi is not here? Buy one and get one free! " p
Mosquito saw Ding Ning looking at her in a trance, so she made fun of him fiercely and touched her belly, which was not obvious, and winked at him. p
Ding Ning was speechless. "Don't make fun of me. If Huzi hears it, he will be angry with you." p
"How dare he!" p
Mosquito raised her eyebrows and said shrewdly, "If he dares to be fierce to me, I will kill his son." p
Then she clenched her small fist and gestured on her belly, as if she was thinking about where to start. p
"Well, I'm convinced!" p
Ding Ning covered his face and felt defeated. This woman was too ruthless. p
It was really strange. How could such a lovely woman like Xiao Nuo be called a witch by them? That lass wouldn't pretend to be a virtuous lady in front of me, but she's actually this fierce behind my back, right? p
Mosquito smiled proudly. She found that Ding Ning was actually very thin-skinned. It was fun to tease him, which was good for prenatal education! p
Huzi went upstairs and downstairs several times and finally put 300 sets of cosmetics into the trunk of the car. Then, like a little eunuch helping the Empress Dowager to go on a trip, he carefully waited on Mosquito to go downstairs. His servile look made Ding Ning sigh that the husband was not strong enough. p
Babao Mountain was located in the western hills of Yan Jing, the burial place of revolutionary martyrs. It was indeed the last honor of some officials in their lives to be able to enter Babao Mountain after death. It was also an affirmation of their identity and status. p
Early this morning, before the sun had even risen, the majestic fleet of carriages had already entered Babaoshan Public Cemetery. p
The fleet of carriages slowly stopped, and Bai Qing, who was sitting in the first car, hurriedly got off. He came to the second extended Hongqi car in the fleet, opened the door, and helped an old man with white hair and beard in a Tang suit get off. p
Bai Jing, the master of the Bai Family, got off the third car, and the following cars were followed by the members of the Bai Family. p
It was Master Bai's 100th birthday. The first thing he did after getting up was to come to Babao Mountain to pay homage to the souls of those comrades who had sacrificed their lives. p
He said that if it were not for the sacrifice of these comrades, there would be no New Shenzhou today. If it were not for these comrades who used their lives and flesh to build the Great Wall of Steel to resist the long guns and short cannons of the invaders, he would not have fought for nothing today. p
Although the Bai Family felt that it was a bit unlucky for the old master to come to the cemetery so early in the morning on his 100th birthday, the old master always kept his words, so no matter how much the Bai Family did not want to come, they could only accompany him. If the old man was unhappy, then no one would be happy. p
Master Bai refused everyone's company and let Bai Qing follow him alone with a box of Maotai and a wine glass in his hand. He stayed in front of the tombstones of his old comrades for a while, toasted a glass of wine, and talked for a while. p
Bai Jing's face was a little unsightly. He, the master of the Bai Family, was not qualified to follow the old master, but only brought Bai Qing. The signal he wanted to send was too obvious. p
There were five brothers in the second generation of the Bai Family, and Bai Jing was the second eldest. The eldest Bai Juhao died early, so he took advantage of the opportunity to become the master of the Bai Family. He thought that he had been conscientious for the Bai Family over the years and always hoped to keep the position of the master in the hands of the second branch. p
Unfortunately, Master Bai was old and wise, and he had always favored Bai Qing, the most outstanding person in the fourth generation of the Bai Family, so it was gradually clear who would be the master of the family. p
How could Bai Jing feel happy? He glared at Bai Yuan, who was yawning beside him, and asked in a low voice, "How's the thing I asked you to do?" p
"What's the matter? Grandpa. " p
Bai Yuan asked with a dumbfounded expression, causing Bai Juran to fume from his seven orifices. His entire body was trembling. He was truly a hopeless fool. p
Seeing that his grandpa's face was red with anger, Bai Yuan patted his forehead and said with annoyance, "Grandpa, it's not that I don't want to do it, but that little magic doctor always appears and disappears mysteriously. I went to the Yan Jing Hotel for two days in a row, but the receptionist said that he went out early in the morning." p
"He went out. Won't you wait for him?" p
Bai Jing scolded in a low voice with disappointment. p
"I … It's already night when he comes back. What's the use of waiting for him?" p
Bai Yuan lowered his head guiltily and muttered. He had been indulging in pleasure these two days, and it was almost noon when he arrived at the Yan Jing Hotel. It would be strange if he could find Ding Ning. p
"Alas!" p
Bai Jing sighed in disappointment and said nothing. The third generation of the Bai Family had their own development in the three fields of politics, military, and business. They had made great achievements and had no desire for the position of the master. p
Therefore, the position of the master of the Bai Family must be directly passed on to the top figures in the fourth generation. Unfortunately, his most promising grandson, Bai Yuan, was much worse than Bai Qing. p
Was the first branch, which had the least number of people, really going to rise again and take over the power of the Bai Family? A gloomy light flashed across Bai Jing's eyes, and he secretly regretted that he had not made up his mind to eliminate Bai Qing. p
The Old Master of the Bai Family was so shrewd that he might have seen through his thoughts. When Bai Qing was still very young, he sent him to his hometown, Ninghai, and sent special people to protect him, which made him paranoid and never dared to act rashly. p
Now, Bai Qing had grown up, showed outstanding business talent, and was quite popular in the family. Since the Old Master of the Bai Family had shown his intention to let him take over, it showed that Bai Qing had been fully prepared and had enough confidence to deal with any danger. It would not be so easy to deal with him again. p
Thinking of this, Bai Jing regretted so much that his intestines turned green. If he had known that Bai Qing could pose such a big threat to the second branch, he would not have been so hesitant to take chances and missed the best opportunity. p
Bai Qing, since you want to seize power from the second branch, don't blame me for being cruel and merciless. Bai Jing's drooping eyes actually flashed with a frightening cold killing intent. p
At eleven o 'clock, the Bai Family's courtyard was already full of voices. The Bai Family members were all in a happy mood, eagerly greeting the people who came to congratulate them. p
Perhaps the older generation had the tradition of hard work and plain living. The Old Master of the Bai Family only wanted to have a small gathering with his family and friends, and he did not want to be so ostentatious. However, the Bai Family members were unwilling and said that the 100th birthday must be a big one. p
It was difficult to disobey the wishes of the public, and it was all the children's filial piety, so the Old Master of the Bai Family could only let them do what they wanted. But he proposed that they would not hold a banquet in a five-star hotel, but simply hold it at home. p
Although Bai Jing readily agreed, if the 100th birthday banquet of the Old Master of the Bai Family was shabby, where would the Bai Family put their face? p
Therefore, although the birthday banquet was held at home, the chefs were all famous chefs invited by a five-star hotel. Even if the guest list was repeatedly reduced, there were still 500 tables in the Bai Family's courtyard. p
At this moment, celebrities from all walks of life swarmed in, and the disciples and old friends of the Bai Family came from thousands of miles away. It could be said to be the most sensational event in Yan Jing in recent years. p
Every guest was proud of being able to get an invitation from the Bai Family, which was a symbol of status and power. p
It was only eleven o 'clock, but the five hundred tables were already filled with people. The guests were either high-ranking officials, tycoons in the business world, or high-end talents who had made outstanding achievements in various industries. There were also quite a number of people who had stars on their shoulders and were shuttling back and forth among the crowd to greet their friends. p
Uncle Zhong, the housekeeper of the Bai Family, was wearing a well-ironed suit. His gray hair was meticulously combed, and his face was full of joy. He stood at the gate of the Bai Family's courtyard as a greeter, greeting all the guests who came to congratulate him. p
Because the Old Master of the Bai Family refused to accept gifts, there were several strong young men standing beside Uncle Zhong, who were responsible for registering the gifts sent by the guests and moving them to the warehouse. p
Of course, this was only done by ordinary guests. For the precious gifts sent by some guests with high enough status, the Bai Family would register them in a separate booklet, and before the banquet began, the Bai Family would publicly announce the names of the gifts. p
This was a traditional habit of the aristocratic families. First, it was to show gratitude to the person who sent the expensive gifts. After all, they couldn't let the person who sent them a gift worth 50 million yuan just to have a meal without any benefits. Some people deliberately came to the birthday banquet and sent generous gifts because they wanted to make a name for themselves on this occasion. They wanted to take the opportunity to make more connections, so the host had to satisfy them. Second, they couldn't just let the person who sent them the gift get face, because the host also wanted face. Look, how many gifts have been sent to our old master's birthday? People supported each other, and this was called mutual support. You gave me face and sent me a big gift, and I gave you face and expressed in public that I liked your gift very much. This was an unwritten rule among the aristocratic families. Courtesy demands reciprocity! p
Of course, in modern times, this way was no longer advocated. Generally, it was the children of the Bai Family who sent gifts to the old master of the birthday banquet, which meant that they competed with each other and fought for favor in front of the elders. Only some guests with particularly distinguished identities or whose gifts were particularly valuable would be specially named by the host to show respect and glory. p
Ding Ning didn't have an invitation card. Huzi and his wife were still parking the car, so he planned to go in to find Bai Qing first, but was stopped by Granddad Zhong, who said very politely, "Sir, because the seats are limited, please show me your invitation card." p
"I don't have an invitation card!" p
Ding Ning didn't expect that there would be such a thing, so he said a little embarrassedly. p
"Sorry, sir, you can't go in without an invitation card." p
Granddad Zhong said apologetically, but felt strange in his heart. "Judging from his clothes and bearing, this young man doesn't look like an ordinary person. Which family does he come from? Why haven't I seen him before? What's more, we need an invitation card to attend the banquet. Doesn't he even know this rule?" p
Ding Ning frowned and was about to call Bai Qing when a sarcastic voice came from the side, "What? You dare to come to the birthday banquet without an invitation card? Don't you know the rule? " p
