When the sun just rose, there were only two stone lions at the gate of Ning Mansion, and not even a servant guarding the gate.

A group of people gathered outside the mansion, looking up at the big words "Ningfu" in a daze.

"This... are you sure this is Mr. Bai's residence?" someone asked his companion.

"It's absolutely true, someone saw them entering here."

"What is the origin of the Ning family? Since Mr. Bai was asked to come and live in the house as soon as he entered Kyoto?"

"It is said that this house was empty a few days ago, but someone just moved in yesterday..."

A group of people were noisy outside. When the door of Ning Mansion was slowly opened, everyone saw an old man with a pockmarked face, no bun on his head, and an extremely lazy person.

Mazi yawned in front of everyone, and then turned his attention to the group of people at the door.

Everyone stared blankly at the pock-marked face. Those who had been noisy and talking had stopped. The next moment, the pock-marked face was surrounded by people, and voices of "We beg to see Mr. Bai" rang out from the crowd.

The pockmarked face was surrounded by people and could not move away. He had never seen so many people around him since he came down the mountain.

"Everyone, don't be anxious. Mr. Bai has invited you, please come in one by one..." Before he finished speaking, everyone rushed in quickly. There was no one in front of the pockmarked face.

Sitting in the main hall of Ning Mansion was a young master. He was tall and tall, with picturesque features. He looked at the people crowded in the main hall with his eyes, and the sight of him was unforgettable.

Next to him stood a young master who looked smaller. Although he was not as tall as the man sitting there, his facial features were as handsome as stars, his eyes were sparkling, and his slight smile made him look charming.

Everyone was shocked by these two young masters for a moment, and some who had never seen them hesitated and did not dare to come forward.

"Which one is Mr. Bai..." They were whispering.

Some people who had met Bai Chengzhi from a distance had already taken out the greeting card. "Master Meng, the Minister of Rites of Dayan, sent a greeting card. Please check it, Mr. Bai."

"Master Qin from the Supervision Department of Dayan sent me a letter asking Mr. Bai to accept the eldest son of Qin as his apprentice. This is my eldest son's usual coursework. Please take the time to check it out, Mr. Bai."

Some even gave money directly. "The head of the Zhou family, a wealthy businessman from the outer city, ordered me to send a letter of greeting, asking Mr. Bai to come to the Zhou family's private school to give lectures to all the young masters." After that, the housekeeper of the Zhou family took out a stack of silver notes.

, said with a smile, "This is ten thousand taels for going out, tuition fees are not included."

…

Everyone was jostling and pushing forward. Suddenly, the table next to Bai Chengzhi was piled with a mountain of invitation lists and children's homework.

Looking at the situation in front of her, Ye Ningyu was almost stunned. She leaned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Do you usually get treated like this in Dayan?"

Bai Chengzhi smiled, turned around and looked at her, and said in a tone that only two people could talk to. "No."

Ye Ningyu breathed a sigh of relief and said that it would be too much to exaggerate if this was true. But the next moment, Bai Chengzhi said again, "Not only Dayan, but wherever he goes, he is treated like this."

Ye Ning glanced at Bai Chengzhi speechlessly, and carefully recalled the time when he was in Dayu. It seemed that Bai Chengzhi was like this, he was so eye-catching wherever he went.

"Cough cough cough..." A soft cough came from the crowd. Everyone who was crowded just now glanced back and then made way.

In the middle, there were four people standing there, three of them were men and one was a woman in her early forties.

Their hands were not like other people's, either holding their master's homework or holding greeting cards. These four people had empty hands, and their expressions were naturally respectful, but they were not respectful.

"The head of the Chang family ordered me to come and see Mr. Bai and invite him to come and have a chat with me." said the middle-aged man standing on the far left.

"Which Chang family?" Bai Chengzhi slightly opened his sleeves.

The Chang family member smiled and said, "Which Chang family is there in Dayan? Naturally, it is the Fuguo General's Mansion."

"It turns out they belong to the Chang family, no wonder it's like this..." someone in the crowd whispered.

Chang Kun, the general of the auxiliary state, was one of the loyal ministers who followed the old Lord Yan to conquer the world. Now he is the general of the auxiliary state of Great Yan, making the Chang family one of the five most prestigious families in the great Yan state.

"The Qi family ordered me to come to visit Mr. Bai and ask about his well-being," said the man standing on the far right.

"Qi family? It seems that Taiwei Qi's house is in trouble?"

"Mr. Bai has extraordinary eyesight, that's right." said the man from Qi Mansion.

Qi Zhongren, the Taiwei of Dayan, can be said to be a powerful official today. Qi Zhongren's father, Qi Xuan, was the founding father of the country and served as the powerful prime minister for the 20 years after the founding of Dayan. Later, Qi Xuan passed away, and Qi Xuan's eldest son Qi Zhongren was very up-to-date.

He worked his way up through the imperial examination, and finally became a second-grade Taiwei when he was less than fifty years old.

Bai Chengzhi smiled at the two of them and said nothing.

At this time, the woman standing in the middle came out. "The old lady of the Yin family ordered me to come and say hello. I would like to ask if Mr. Bai is still used to living in Kyoto. The old lady is old and won't come to see the husband in person. If

If sir, if you need anything in the capital city, you can send someone to the Yin family to deliver a message."

Although the woman called herself a "contemptuous woman", her words and demeanor were not modest at all. She even raised her head high when she spoke and put her hands behind her back, giving a look of contempt.

It’s no wonder that she is arrogant. Although the Yin family is not like the Qi and Chang family, there are men in the family who are firmly in important positions in the court. The Yin family has been doing business for generations. Today, the head of the Yin family has passed away long ago. The person in charge of the family business is one

An old lady in her sixties. After her husband passed away, this old lady became the new head of the Yin family.

There is a saying in the capital of Dayan that the world's wealth is ten thousand, and the Yin family exclusively owns seven and five. If the Yin family shakes, the treasury will be reduced by three points. This shows how important the Yin family is to Dayan.

"Bai is so virtuous and capable, thank you old lady for caring about me. Please also tell the old man that if Bai needs anything, he will definitely send someone to come and bother you." Bai Chengzhi said with a smile.

Seeing this, the woman nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Finally, a middle-aged man among the four who had not spoken to each other came out. He bowed respectfully to Bai Chengzhi. "Mr. Bai is polite. My head said that when Mr. Bai comes to Kyoto, the queen will definitely host a banquet for him."

, the Nangong family will not hold a banquet. On the day when the concubine summons the husband to enter the palace, the head of my family will meet the husband at the palace banquet again."

The man who spoke had a respectful demeanor and a soft voice. He looked like a gentle scholar. And the head of the family he mentioned was naturally Nangong Changqing.

More than 20 years ago, Nangong Changqing's father, Nangong Que, was a general under Lao Yanjun. Later, the founding general Nangong Que died of illness. Nangong Changqing inherited his father's title and was awarded the title of first-class hussar general. His younger brother Nangong Leshan

He is the first-rank privy envoy of Dayan, in charge of military affairs of Dayan.

Now both brothers of the Nangong family hold important positions in the court and are the most prominent among the five major families.

Seeing that this member of the Nangong family seemed to be more respectful than other families, Bai Chengzhi had an idea. "Thank you, General Nangong. If Bai is lucky enough to be summoned by his wife, he should pay his respects again at the palace banquet." Bai Chengzhi said.
