0629 No invitation

Mosquito's eyes suddenly lit up, and he cheered "Long live my brother-in-law" and jumped forward happily. The frightened tiger quickly pulled her: "Slow down, slow down, don't get pregnant."

Mosquito broke away from his hand nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? With my brother-in-law, a miraculous doctor, it doesn't matter even if I have fetal force."

"That's true, but it's better to be careful."

Ding Ning shook his head dumbfounded, why did Mosquito's eyes sparkle with stars when he saw the supreme beauty, which was the same as Ling Yun's feeling when he saw a pile of money.

"Huzi, hurry up and pack up all these cosmetics and take them away. These days, I am almost annoyed to death by those who want the goods. My brother-in-law has helped me a lot."

Mosquito happily held a set of cosmetics and caressed them fondly, and gave orders casually.

"Okay, I'll find some big bags to put them in so they can be taken easily."

Huzi rushed to the waiter to ask for a plastic bag. It seemed that he would be eaten by mosquitoes in this life.

Watching this scene, Ding Ning felt dazed for a moment. Mosquito had been in love with Dai Zhefeng for many years but had no results.

Now, she has finally found her destination. Maybe Huzi cannot bring her a vigorous love like Dai Zhefeng, but a plain love may be more suitable for her. Even the smile on her face looks so happy.

"Brother-in-law, what are you looking at? I have flowers on my face? Or have you fallen in love with me and fallen in love with me? Why don't you take me to elope while Hu Zi is away? Buy one, get one free!"

Seeing that Ding Ning was looking at her in awe, Mosquito joked fiercely, touching her belly that was not pregnant and giving her a wink.

Ding Ning's face was filled with black lines, "Don't joke around, Huzi listens, I have to be in a hurry with you."

"He dares!"

Mosquito raised his eyebrows and said fiercely: "If he dares to harm me, I will beat his son to death."

As he spoke, he clenched his fist and gestured on his lower abdomen, as if he was considering where to strike.

"Okay, I'm convinced!"

Ding Ning hid her face and was defeated. This girl was so cruel.

It's really strange, how come such a lovely woman like Xiao Nuo is called a witch by them? That Nizi won't pretend to be a lady in front of me, but she is actually so fierce behind her back, right?

Mosquito smiled proudly. She discovered that Ding Ning was actually quite thin-skinned. It was fun to tease him when he had nothing to do, and it was helpful for prenatal education!

Huzi went upstairs and downstairs several times before putting three hundred sets of cosmetics into the trunk of the car. Like a little eunuch supporting Lafayette on a trip, he carefully waited for the mosquitoes to go downstairs.

The look made Ding Ning lament that her husband was weak.

Babaoshan, located in the west mountain of Yanjing, is the burial place of revolutionary martyrs. Being able to enter Babaoshan after death is indeed the last honor in the lives of some officials, and it is also an affirmation of their identity and status.

Early this morning, before dawn, a huge motorcade drove into Babaoshan Cemetery.

The motorcade slowly stopped, and Bai Qing, who was sitting in the lead car, hurriedly got out of the car, came to the second extended red flag car in the motorcade, opened the door, and helped an old man with white hair and beard in a Tang suit get out.

Bai Juran, the head of the Bai family, got off the third car, and those who got off the cars after that were all members of the Bai family.

It was Old Master Bai's 100th birthday. The first thing he did after getting up was to come to Babao Mountain to pay homage to the heroic souls of his comrades who sacrificed their lives.

He said that without the sacrifices of these comrades, New China would not be what it is today. If it were not for the steel wall made by these comrades with their lives and flesh and blood to resist the long guns and short artillery of the invaders, his preparations for the war would not be in vain.

today.

Although everyone in the Bai family felt that it was unlucky for the old man to come to the cemetery early in the morning for his 100th birthday, the old man always kept his word and kept his word. Therefore, if everyone in the Bai family did not want to come, they could only accompany him and make the old birthday boy unhappy.

Then no one can be happy.

Mr. Bai refused everyone's company, so he asked Bai Qing to follow him alone with a box of Maotai and a wine glass in his hand. He stayed for a while in front of the tombstones of his old comrades, toasted a glass of wine and talked for a while.

Bai Juran's face looked a little ugly. He, the dignified head of the Bai family, was not qualified to follow the old man, but he only brought Bai Qing with him. The signal he wanted to send was too obvious.

There are five brothers in the second generation of the Bai family. Bai actually ranks second. The eldest brother Bai Juhao passed away early, so he took advantage and became the head of the Bai family. He has worked hard for the Bai family over the years and has always hoped to become the head of the family.

The bit remains in the hands of their second wife.

It's a pity that Mr. Bai is very wise and has always favored Bai Qing, the most outstanding fourth generation of the Bai family. The ownership of the position of the head of the family has gradually become clear.

This made Bai Juran feel so happy. He glared at Bai Yuan who was yawning beside him, and asked in a low voice: "How did you go about what I asked you to do?"

"What's going on? Grandpa."

Bai Yuan asked with a confused look on his face. Bai Ju was so angry that he was so angry that he was trembling all over. He was really a helpless Adou.

Grandpa Bai Yuan's face turned the color of pig liver with anger. Then he slapped his forehead and said angrily: "Grandpa, it's not that I won't do it. That little miracle doctor has been elusive all day long. I went to Yanjing Hotel two times in a row.

Oh my God, the front desk said he went out early in the morning."

"You're out, you won't wait?"

Bai unexpectedly yelled in a low voice, hating that iron could not become steel.

"I...it's already night waiting for him to come back. What's the point of waiting for him."

Bai Yuan lowered his head and muttered with some guilt. He had been singing and dancing every night for the past two days. It was almost noon when he arrived at Yanjing Hotel. It was strange that he could find Ding Ning.

"Why!"

Bai Juran sighed in disappointment and remained silent. The third generation of the Bai family has its own development in politics, military, and business, and has achieved considerable achievements. It has no idea about the position of the head of the family.

Therefore, the position of the head of the Bai family must be passed directly to the top figures in the fourth generation. Unfortunately, his most promising grandson Bai Yuan is not even a bit worse than Bai Qing.

Could it be that the Dafang lineage, which has the thinnest population, is really going to rise again and take over the power of the Bai family? A gloomy look flashed in Bai Juran's eyes, and he secretly regretted not making a decisive decision to get rid of Bai Qing.

The old man of the Bai family was so shrewd that he didn't know if he had seen through his thoughts. He sent Bai Qing to his hometown of Ninghai when he was still very young, and sent a special person to protect him, making him suspicious and never dare to act rashly.

At present, Bai Qing has matured, has shown extraordinary business talents, and is quite popular in the family. Now that Mr. Bai has expressed his intention to let him take over, this means that Bai Qing is fully prepared and has enough ability.

If you have the confidence to deal with any danger, it will not be so easy to touch him again.

Thinking of this, Bai Juran regretted that his intestines turned green. If he had known that Bai Qing could pose such a big threat to the second wife, he should not have taken chances and hesitated, and missed the best opportunity.

Bai Qing, since you want to seize power from my second family lineage, don't blame me for being ruthless. Bai Jue's lowered eyes flashed with frightening cold murderous intent.

At eleven o'clock, the Bai family courtyard was already bustling with people. Everyone in the Bai family was beaming with joy, and they greeted people from all walks of life in the courtyard to celebrate their birthdays.

Perhaps the older generation has a tradition of hardship and simplicity. Mr. Bai originally wanted to have a small gathering of his family and friends, and did not want to be so public. However, the Bai family refused to say anything, saying that the 100th birthday must be a grand event.

once.

It was hard to disobey the public opinion, and the children were filial, so Mr. Bai could only let them do what they wanted, but he proposed that he would never go to a five-star hotel to have a banquet, and would simply organize it at home.

Although Bai Juran agreed immediately, if the old man's 100th birthday party was a shabby one, where would the Bai family's reputation go?

Therefore, although the birthday banquet was held at home, the chefs were all famous chefs invited by five-star hotels. Even though the guest list was repeatedly reduced, 500 tables of flowing banquets were set up in the Bai family courtyard.

At this moment, celebrities from all walks of life were swarming in, and disciples of the Bai family had traveled thousands of miles to come. It was the most sensational event in Yanjing in recent years.

Every guest is proud to get an invitation from the Bai family, which is a symbol of status and power.

It was just eleven o'clock, and the five hundred tables were already almost full. The guests were either high-ranking officials from the frontiers, giant businessmen who dominated the business world, or high-end talents who had made outstanding achievements in various industries.

There are also many people carrying generals on their hands and walking back and forth among the crowd to call for friends.

Uncle Zhong, the chief butler of the Bai family, was in a neat suit, his gray hair was combed meticulously, and his face was filled with deep joy. He stood at the door of the Bai family's courtyard to act as a welcome guest, chatting with people who came from all walks of life to celebrate their birthdays.

Since Mr. Bai was determined not 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.

Of course, this is only done by ordinary guests. Like some precious gifts sent by guests with high enough status, the Bai family will separately register them in a booklet, and the gift list will be publicly called before the banquet begins.

This is a traditional habit of aristocratic families. First, it is to show gratitude to the person who gave you an expensive gift. You can't just give someone a gift worth 50 million. There is no benefit in just eating it. Some people deliberately do this.

To attend a birthday banquet and give generous gifts is because you want to be famous on this occasion, want to gain face, and take the opportunity to make more connections. The host must satisfy others;

Second, we can't just let the person who gives the gift have face. The host also wants face. Look, when our old man celebrates his birthday, so and so gives gifts of any value. People in sedan chairs carry people. This is called mutual support. You give

I give you a big gift to give you face, and I give you face to express in public that I like the gift you gave me. This is an unwritten rule among wealthy families, and reciprocity is the way to go!

Of course, in modern times, this method is no longer advocated. It is usually the children of the Bai family who give gifts to the old birthday star. There is a sense of competing with each other, competing with each other, and competing for favor in front of the elders. Only some people with particularly noble status or

Guests with particularly valuable gifts will be specifically named by the host to show respect and honor.

Ding Ning didn't have an invitation, and Huzi and his wife were still parking the car. He planned to go to Bai Qing first, but was stopped by Uncle Zhong, who said politely: "Sir, since the space is limited, please show me the invitation."

"I don't have an invitation!"

Ding Ning didn't expect such a thing to happen, so he said a little embarrassedly.

"Sorry, sir, you can't go in without an invitation."

Uncle Zhong said apologetically, secretly wondering that this young man didn't look like an ordinary person in his dress and demeanor. Whose young master was he? How come he had never seen him before? What's more, he didn't even understand the rules of asking for an invitation to a banquet.
