When it was almost noon, Bai Jingping and the other officials were finally here.
Of course, Gu Chengrui was a third-grade official, after all, so he did not go to welcome the guests.
Instead, he, Mr. Gu, and Second Uncle Gu helped the patriarch entertain the guests near the ancestral hall.
Bai Jingping and the others were led in by Gu Chengxi. After arriving, he immediately came over and bowed, "I am Bai Jingping (Tian Jingzhong). Greetings, Lord Gu."
"The two of you, please get up. We have really gone through thick and thin together. Everyone, there's no need to be so polite." Gu Chengrui stepped forward and greeted them.
"Also, I haven't congratulated the two of you for your promotion."
"Same here, same here. How long do you plan to stay this time? Let's meet up when you're free?" Bai Jingping suggested.
"No problem. I'll go to the county town when I have time. Let's have a good gathering at Hongyun Restaurant." Gu Chengrui replied.
