Bai Shan raised his head and met Man Bao's eyes, who was standing behind Zheng. He smiled brightly and looked at her with crooked eyes.
Man Bao was bewildered by his beauty and looked at him blankly. After he realized what he was doing, he pursed his lips and smiled back at him.
Many people were fascinated by Bai Shan's bright smile. Even Zhao Guogong couldn't help but admire his beauty in his heart. He didn't pay much attention to it before.
Many ladies and wives who were standing on the corridor looking over couldn't help but peek at him again and again, their faces turning slightly red.
Mrs. Cheng Cheng sighed regretfully: "I didn't realize it before, but now I realize that Master Bai and Mr. Yang are equally handsome. It's a pity that they were not born together, otherwise we would still be competing to see who is more outstanding."
Someone immediately said: "Although Mr. Xiaobai is not bad, he is still far behind Mr. Yang."
"That's right, that's right."
"I haven't seen Mr. Yang for a long time. I wonder how he is doing in Xiazhou?"
Everyone around Mrs. Tang became sad and lost the desire to speak for a while.
Company Commander Yu touched his belly and sighed, "It would be great if Mr. Yang was in the capital. I go to the street to see him every day. I heard that if a woman looks at good-looking people when she is pregnant, the child she will give birth to will also be good-looking.
And they will look like each other."
Mingda: "...whose nonsense is this? Don't let your brother-in-law hear such nonsense."
Wei Yu, who was standing not far away: ...If you don’t want him to hear, you should speak softly.
He held his forehead helplessly and wanted to turn around to help Chang Yu go down to rest, but he heard the lady on the side holding back a smile and said: "Although Mr. Yang is not here, there is a handsome young man now. What do you think of Mr. Bai, princess?"
Chang Yu frowned and glanced at the speaker, "Not very good, far worse than Mr. Yang. I might as well be like a prince-in-law like him."
She doesn't want her child to look like Bai Shan. Otherwise, what if after Zhou Man gives birth to a child, their children will look similar?
This book is nothing, but she doesn't think her child is as smart as Zhou Man's child. After all, in terms of reading, Wei Yu may be able to compare with Bai Shan, but she cannot compare with Zhou Man.
Thinking of this, Changyu became worried and turned to Mingda and said, "What should I do? I feel that the children from our two families are not as good as Shang Man's children."
She said: "I was the one holding back my family, and Bai Erlang was the one holding us back. Alas, why don't we tell Zhou Man and let her wait four or five years to have children, so that the children of our three families don't have to
Put them together to compare.”
The most important thing is that their children are older and are stronger than the other in terms of physical strength and intelligence, so they shouldn't be bullied, right?
Mingda reached out and touched Chang Yu's forehead, "Sister, what have you been thinking about all day?"
Wei Yu froze, fearing that Chang Yu would say more inappropriate things, so she quickly stepped forward to help Chang Yu.
When Chang Yu saw him, he felt aggrieved suddenly for some reason, and tears fell down, drop by drop, in clusters.
People nearby were startled and looked over in surprise.
Wei Yu was helpless, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears as usual, and comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay, can I help the princess to rest?"
Mingda was also startled and quickly supported Changyu to help.
Wei Yu stopped her and said with a smile: "Thank you princess, I can do it alone."
He helped Chang Yu toward the garden. As she walked, she sobbed aggrievedly, and tears fell down her face.
Wei Yu felt distressed and helpless, so he could only silently hold her in his arms and walk toward the garden.
Mingda frowned and couldn't help but look for Zhou Man.
Man Bao was still looking at Bai Shan and giggling.
Mr. Zhuang couldn't stand it, so he coughed slightly and pulled everyone's attention back, and continued to the next step. The next ritual was also the last step - giving Bai Shan a word.
The calligraphy had already been taken, but Mr. Zhuang still had to give it in front of the guests.
"The Supreme Good," Mr. Zhuang's wise eyes fell, and he looked deeply at Bai Shandao: "The way of a university lies in three things, being clear about morality, being close to the people, and ending with the Supreme Good. Self-cultivation is a lifelong matter, and you have always been smart.
, I have done well in the past two years since I became an official. I hope you will be as good as ever in the future and be worthy of your heart and worthy of heaven and earth."
Bai Shan bowed down seriously, and even the guests who were watching couldn't help but become solemn and looked at Bai Shan with serious expressions.
Someone looked at Bai Shan and then looked at Mr. Zhuang, and commented privately: "It's no wonder Master Zhou's three sisters and brothers are so outstanding. You have such a master."
"Is Master Zhuang now the prince's teacher?"
"In the Chongwen Hall, the prince only listens to two people's lectures now. One is Kong Jijiu, and the other is Master Zhuang. But Master Zhuang didn't serve tea, so he doesn't count as a teacher, right?"
"A teacher is also a teacher, so why doesn't it count?"
"Keep it quiet, Kong Jijiu is here too. When it comes to being the prince's teacher, only Kong Jijiu is the only one in the world who can teach you."
After the ceremony was completed, Bai Shan kowtowed to Mr. Zhuang and thanked the teacher for his years of teaching and cultivation.
Mr. Zhuang stood and received one, then stretched out his hand to stop him from kowtowing again. After pulling him up, he pointed at Kong Jijiu who was watching the ceremony and said, "Go and bow to Kong Jijiu."
Bai Shan then went over to salute and hold the disciple's ceremony.
Kong Jijiu only accepted half the courtesy, and then said with a smile: "The calligraphy your teacher gave you is very good. I hope you will not disappoint him and your father's expectations."
"yes."
General Qibi Heli squeezed up from behind and laughed loudly: "Master Bai, I gave you a gift carefully. I don't know if you like it or not. If you don't like it, tell me later and I will give it to you again."
Find something you like."
Bai Shan was stunned for a moment and then immediately said: "The gift represents the general's intention. Since it is his intention, the boy will naturally like it."
On the side, Kong Jijiu's face turned a little blue, and he couldn't help but glance at General Qibi Heli, and also glanced at General Ashina who was standing beside him.
General Ashina smiled apologetically at Kong Jijiu. Kong Jijiu looked away and looked at Bai Shan, but he hesitated to speak.
When Bai Shan saw it, he couldn't help but become curious. What did Qibi Heli give him to make Kong Jijiu look so ugly?
The crowning ceremony has ended, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng, together with the Zhou family, invited the guests to sit down in the front hall for a meal.
Man Bao and Bai Shan sneaked back into the house together. They had to change out of their formal clothes into homely clothes and the crowns on their heads.
Bai Shan took out the green crown given by Mr. Zhuang and asked Man Bao to tie his hair. Both of them were very curious, "I wonder what gift General Qibi Heli gave."
"Why don't you find it and take a look?"
Bai Shan hesitated, "The guests in front are still waiting, please wait."
Man Bao: "Let Daji find it. Let's go out for a walk and come back to take a look. The gift that can make Kong Jijiu turn blue must be a very special gift."
Bai Shan thought so too. He couldn't suppress his curiosity and nodded.
