Although Ma Jin attached great importance to Yan Bai's affairs, he did not regard them as a top priority.

However, Ma Jin was very particular about planning ahead when doing things, and asked Yan Xiao to collect the case and secretly sent people to stare at Anyang Mansion just in case. Ma Jin had not yet figured out a constitution for how to deal with Yan Bai during the matter.

After all, no matter how stupid Yan Bai is, he is still the prince. He is the serious Yan family. In this world where Yan's surname is the leader, it is not easy for Ma Jin to quickly defeat him.

Unless Ma Jin reveals the truth about the Nanjiao Assassination, this can solve Yan Bai quickly. However, this matter is too sensitive, and Ma Jin is afraid that it will involve him.

What's more, the achievements of saving the Lord were extraordinary. If the truth of this matter was revealed, even if Ma Jin was not held accountable, his previous achievements in saving the Lord in the southern suburbs would be greatly reduced, and even reduced his impression in front of Emperor Jingkang, which Ma Jin did not want to see.

Even if the matter was finally investigated, Ma Jin had to grit his teeth and insist that he had no idea, and he was separated from the relationship, and bit himself to think that someone was attacking the king and trying to protect him.

Therefore, if there is no need, Ma Jin would not want to do such a dangerous move. Anyway, he is not afraid of Yan Bai's power now, so he can fight slowly with him.

If it really doesn't work, Ma Jin will wait until Yan Yi ascends the throne. It is estimated that with his power, he will deal with Yan Bai with just a handful of things...

………

Putting Yan Bai's affairs aside, Ma Jin's most concerned about these days is that he is busy with his birthday.

November 13, 18th year of Jingkang, was Ma Jin's 25th birthday. Of course, this is the birth date of his original body. Ma Jin's subsequent birthday is not this day.

However, Ma Jin is not a pretentious person when he comes to the countryside. Since his original body has passed the birthday of this day for twenty years, he will not have to find some trouble to show his presence for a vain celebration and commemoration.

In fact, Ma Jin was not interested in "his own" birthday, but it was the same. He just couldn't resist the enthusiasm of Zhou Fuhai and his disciples, so he let them do it.

This is actually considered the three birthdays since Ma Jin’s rebirth, and it is the first time someone celebrates.

Ma Jin's first birthday was when he had just taken over Xinhua Bookstore and was busy telling stories in Dingxianglou. It was the stage of his career development and he had no intention of eating a bowl of longevity noodles, which was considered to be the birthday of him.

At that time, he was directly in Yanzhou. Although there were Zhuhu and Niu Ben next to him, who could point at them to remember Ma Jin’s birthday? Although Ma Jin himself remembered it, he didn’t take it seriously. Therefore, Ma Jin’s second birthday passed in a confused manner.

Until this time, before Ma Jin could remember, Zhou Fuhai volunteered to arrange it. In Lao Zhou's words, the Ma Mansion is now in a better life, so we cannot treat Ma Jin, the leader. Although Ma Jin did not make a living this time, we cannot be ambiguous.

Zhou Fuhai's words won the warm response from the disciples. So, under the overall control of Lao Zhou, several disciples performed their own responsibilities and held a lively celebration for Ma Jin's birthday party.

Ma Jin's attitude towards this doesn't matter, but since everyone is so enthusiastic, he doesn't want to be embarrassed, so he just treats it as a party with his relatives and friends.

He just told the disciples to not do it too grandly and aroused criticism, so Ma Jin went back to the study to write a book.

Compared with birthday banquets, Ma Jin valued more the benefits of the court's birthday on all officials, which were given three days off.

Three days ago, I didn’t seem to have an appointment with Yan Yi for a long time, Yan Yuan went out to play, and by the way, I haven’t seen my wife for a long time...

………

November 13th

The weather was ready, and the heavy snow fell in the capital for two days. Early in the morning, Zhou Fuhai brought a group of Ma Jin men to remove snow in the mansion and surrounding areas so that guests could come to visit.

Several disciples also came to the Ma Mansion in bright clothes early and were energetic. Under the leadership of Ma Jin, they went out happily to welcome guests.

...

The earliest ones came were Ma Jin's subordinates, An Yi, Dong Lichun, Xu Xu, Sun Youfu and other shopkeepers in charge, who brought several backbones to come here together, like Ma Jin to celebrate his birthday.

After everyone was happy, they exchanged greetings with Ma Jin, and Ma Jin sent an apprentice to lead everyone into the mansion.

Following An Yi and the others were Mei Fang and Zhu Yunfeng, who led several famous actors from the garden to support him. Mei Fang also brought a guy and said that he would go on stage to celebrate his birthday later.

Ma Jin thanked him and sent his apprentice to invite someone in. As soon as Mei Fang entered, Fatty Wu and his son and uncle Niu Hong's family came. The two of them were old acquaintances, so they made an appointment to arrive together.

Niu Hong and the others were elders. Ma Jin personally introduced them to the mansion. After the arrangements were made, all of Ma Jin's colleagues in the Censorate and subordinates from the Censorate Office of the Hall of the Palace also came.

However, some of these people are in official business. After entering the mansion, they chatted with Ma Jin for a while, then put down the gift and left. Those who did not leave were greeted by Ma Jin's apprentices.

………

This time, Ma Jin knew the benefits of having too many disciples. The people from the Censorate here had not made any arrangements, and some officials in the Suwang Party who were friends with Ma Jin also came.

The most exaggerated one is Bai Wu. Not only did he come to pay his birthday, the birthday gift he gave was even more eye-catching. It was five feet tall, and it was worth thousands of taels of silver outside. Even if Ma Jin had a wealth of money, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

However, although Bai Wu's birthday gift is luxurious, it is not the most precious among the gifts.

Although he had no good expression when he saw Ma Jin, the old man Zhuge was still a little grateful to Ma Jin and thanked him for his plan for his master and apprentice. So Ma Jin celebrated his birthday and the old man gave him a pill at the bottom of the box.

Ma Jin didn't know what the medicine was made, but he heard from the pretty doctor who came to deliver the medicine that the raw materials of this medicine were extremely precious and extremely rare. Even if his master kept the most, it was only five fingers. Giving Ma Jin one would definitely cost a lot of money.

As for what effect this medicine is, you can tell it by its name. Soul Recovery Pill - as the name suggests, as long as you have a breath, this pill can snatch you back from the Hall of Hell.

After hearing the pretty doctor's mother's words, Ma Jin immediately hugged the medicine box tightly and returned to the study and hid it in the secret room.

………

After the pretty doctor's mother delivered the medicine, she returned to Xingyuan, but her senior brother Ding Chi stayed and sat down with Dong Lichun and the others.

With Ma Jin's identity and popularity, he rarely held a banquet or even a birthday party. Naturally, many people came to celebrate the birthday with various purposes. In front of the Ma Mansion, guests were like clouds and traffic was full of traffic.

From the beginning of Ma Jin's welcome to the guests in the morning, until the birthday party started, there were still a steady stream of guests coming to the door, which made everyone who came to celebrate the birthday shocked Ma Jin's connections, and also made Ma Jin feel very distressed.

From morning to now, he was so busy that he didn't even drink much. Ma Jin also swears in his heart that he would never be able to have a birthday party in the future.

In fact, Ma Jin is also blamed for not having any experience. No birthday stars go out to welcome guests by themselves. Except for a few who are respected by their identities, all other disciples can come forward. He just waits to greet him in the hall.

However, since Ma Jin, the guest ahead, is welcomed by himself, he cannot favor one or the other to the guests afterwards.

No matter how tired Ma Jin was, he had to open the door to welcome guests with a smile on his face.

Fortunately, when the birthday party was about to begin, there were fewer guests at the door. Ma Jin had just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to greet the birthday party.

The real birthday party is here...
