Inside Xianyang City.

Bai Yan took the war horse, and after returning to his mansion, he took off his rank and official uniform.

After putting his clothes back on, Bai Yan arrived at Xiaoyuan.

When I came to the study, I saw Mr. Bao counting the financial gifts that he would give to Feng Nian in the next few days. He looked at the rolls of cloth, including two or three rolls of silk cloth. Then he saw another roll.

On a huge plate, there were stacks of Qin half coins tied with red silk.

Seeing all this, Bai Yan looked at Bao with gratitude.

This is not the first time Bai Yan has seen wedding ceremonies, but those were the weddings he saw in his hometown of Shuicun in Qi State when he was a child.

At that time, when men in the village married wives who were first cousins, they would only be given some fish or chicken.

If that relative is more generous and gives a few dozen dollars, the wedding will be quite honorable, and the relative who gave the gift will be talked about by the villagers for years, and everyone will talk about how generous that relative is!

Therefore, if Bai Yan and Feng Nian were ordinary people in Linzi, Qi State, then Bai Yan would know better.

But now.

Bai Yan is no longer the lonely young man who sat at the edge of the village and was laughed at by others.

As Zuo Geng of the Qin State, with his current status, Bai Yan really didn't know how to properly grant a new year.

First, Feng Nian is now a general under his command.

Secondly, let alone Qin, he is the only one in the world who would give such a big gift to Feng Nian, so this gift needs to be appropriate.

This appropriateness is in line with the identity and the relationship between the two people.

Not too much, not too little, so that no one will talk about it, and it can also give enough face to Feng Nian, so that the woman’s family can see it, and even if it gets spread, no one will look down upon it.

Therefore, Bai Yan really didn't know how to arrange it for a while, not to mention that he still had the king's life on his shoulders and couldn't get away at all.

"General!"

"General!!"

When Xi and several maids saw Bai Yan entering the study, they quickly prepared the ceremony.

Bai Yan nodded.

After seeing Bai Yan, Bao stood up and took the bamboo slips and came to Bai Yan.

"This is my gift to Feng Nian this time. General, let's see if there is anything missing!"

While Bao was talking, he handed the bamboo slips to Bai Yan.

Bao Shi, who was dressed in Qin clothes, glanced at Bai Yan, and then turned sideways to look at the gifts prepared around him.

Among the gifts sent this time, there was not a grain of gold, and the currency was only half of Qin's money. This was to prevent if gold was given, it would be bad for Bai Yan once word spread.

However, although the Bao family did not prepare any gold, knowing the relationship between Bai Yan and Feng Nian, she intentionally gave a large pile of cloth scrolls in addition to a pile of Qin half coins.

Cloth rolls can also be exchanged for goods, and the silk fabrics among them are even more valuable.

It's not as high-profile as gold, but it's not much worse than gold. Even if word gets out, it won't do anything to Bai Yan, and it will give Feng Nian face.

"Fortunately my wife is here!"

Bai Yan read the contents of the bamboo slips and looked at Bao with a smile.

Looking at the financial gifts that had been prepared in the study, Bai Yan sighed for the first time. With a woman like Bao at home, there was no need to worry at all outside.

He is virtuous and virtuous, gentle and courteous, and he has full control between advancement and retreat. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has a virtuous wife.

"Does the general have any appointments today?"

When Bao heard Bai Yan's words, she couldn't help but smile on her pretty face. Although she was a young woman, her appearance was touching and had a hint of youthfulness.

During this smile, even Bai Yan couldn't help but look to the side slightly, without looking directly.

This charming woman is like an eldest sister.

Unlike Wu Yun and Zhao Qiu, Bai Yan really can't be indifferent or hard-hearted.

"There is another person who I happened to meet outside Xianyang City before, and we agreed to talk today."

Bai Yan said.

After finishing speaking, Bai Yan looked at Mr. Bao with some guilt. Speaking of which, after returning to Xianyang, Bai Yan had not officially had dinner with Mr. Bao once.

There are always social activities around.

However, while Bai Yan was thinking about it, Bao Shi nodded even though he was a little disappointed.

"It gets cold late at night, General, you should bring some clothes to keep out the cold!"

Bao Shi whispered an instruction.

Perhaps he was someone who had been there, but Bao knew that Bai Yan was very busy now after his promotion. Whether it was for personal connections or for banquets hosted by colleagues, Bai Yan needed to be present.

After all, whether it is as small as a court or as big as this world, no matter how powerful a person is, he will always encounter things that require help in the future. Having multiple connections is always a good thing.

Maybe one day I will need these relationships.

"I'll bring out the clothes later and put them in the carriage first."

Bao Shi said.

Bai Yan glanced at Mr. Bao gratefully, nodded slightly, and then watched Mr. Bao turn around and walk out of the study.

Waited for a while.

When Bao Shi came over with the clothes, Bai Yan took them and saw Bao Shi bring his own sword.

"Madam, I won't take this sword with me!"

Bai Yan said to Mr. Bao that the sword just now was placed at home specially.

When Bai Yan saw Lu Sheng, he didn't want to bring his sword with him.

After all, he was in Xianyang City at this time, and he had close relatives with him, so there was no need to worry about his safety.

However, to Bai Yan's expectation, after he finished speaking, Bao, who had always listened to his words in the past, did not put down his sword at this moment.

"The general is not at home, but I still take him with me!"

Bao Shi looked at Bai Yan.

With these words, Bai Yan, who originally didn't want to carry a sword, nodded.

"good!"

Bai Yan looked at the look in Bao's beautiful eyes. At this moment, he knew that since he was not having dinner at home, Bao could feel at ease with his sword.

He stretched out a hand and took the sword from Bao's hand.

After Bao Shi said to pay attention to safety, Bai Yan left the mansion.

With the sunset.

Inside Xianyang City.

On the street, Bai Yan was riding a carriage. Accompanied by the noisy sounds outside the carriage and feeling the slow movement of the carriage, Bai Yan was thinking about Lu Sheng's affairs in his mind.

Bai Yan owed Lu Sheng a favor regarding Master Xu. He had promised Lu Sheng back then, so Bai Yan would not break his promise.

Besides, now in Handan, Bai Yan also needs help.

But Lu Qi is now in Yingchuan, and he still can't get away. After digesting Yingchuan County, the people around Lu Qi who can be trusted are no longer enough to occupy several cities in Zhao.

Then excluding Bai Ping, Bai Bo and others of the Bai family.

Lu Sheng is Bai Yan's best choice!

Bai is a well-known sect general. His reputation, prestige, and voice are destined to make Uncle Bai and others care about face and reputation in many matters. They may even have disputes with Bai Yan on many matters. When the time comes, Bai Yan will not say anything, nor will he take action.

no.

Thinking room.

When he heard the groom outside the car saying that he had arrived at the restaurant, Bai Yan came back to his thoughts.

I was about to get up and get off the carriage, but when I saw the cold-proof clothes that Bao had prepared, I saw my sword on the neat clothes.

Bai Yan thought for a while, and finally reached out and picked up the sword.

After getting off the carriage.

Bai Yan took out some money from his arms and gave it to his cronies, asking them to eat later, and then called some women to accompany him in the restaurant.

"hey-hey!"

Wu Huai, headed by his confidants, took the strings of money from Bai Yan with a smile on his face.

None of the other soldiers rejected Bai Yan's kindness. After all, everyone has emotions and desires, and if he stood in the corridor of the restaurant with a sword like this, he would definitely attract too much attention. It would be better to listen to the general and call a few people.

The woman spends time with him in the private room.

As long as you don't drink, take turns paying attention to the general's movements.
