[Seven Five + Sword Three] White jade dyed bright yellow

Gongsun Ce did not bring a medicine box with him when he entered the palace, and it was not convenient to apply medicine to Bai Yutang at this time, so he had to be patient and wait until the Kaifeng government office to deal with it.

So although Lu Fang and Bao Zheng, who were walking ahead, didn't say anything, everyone could feel that the speed had increased a lot.

However, these few people were quite noticeable walking on the street. It was better in front of the palace gate. After all, there were few people. When they approached the mansion, the number of people gradually increased. It seemed that people from all walks of life recognized people from Kaifeng Mansion.Mr. Bao's face was too majestic, and no one dared to strike up a conversation, so Mr. Gongsun, the genius doctor, and Zhan Weiwei became their main targets for striking up a conversation.

It was the first time that Ye Shulan saw the enthusiasm of the people in Kaifeng Mansion—it was not enough to strike up a conversation, and they also gave things by the way, such as the uncle dressed as a farmer in front of him, while holding Gongsun Ce's hand, he said: "Oh, last time my daughter-in-law brought me something. I went to the city to go to the market and something happened, thanks to Mr. Gongsun who saved me!", handing over a snakeskin bag in his hand, "I know that Mr. does not accept gifts, but this is a purple bag I dug near my field. Su, sir, didn’t you say that it can be used as medicine, and when it’s used to save people, it’s considered a virtue..."

On the other side, aunts and sisters surrounded Zhan Zhao, one said: "Oh, my roof broke last time, and the man was not at home, thanks to the help of Zhan's guard!", stuffing two handfuls of candies; the other said: "Last time I The cat climbed up the fence and couldn't come down because the guards helped bring it down!", stuffed a lively koi; and said: "My mother-in-law was lost once, and it was thanks to the guards that I found it after walking around half of the capital. !", stuffing a bag of dried fruit...

So when they arrived at the entrance of the government office, the two of them were already covered with bags of different sizes and colors.Ye Shulan and the others who had just arrived looked amused, but the servants of the Kaifeng Mansion who came out to greet them were very used to it, and took things from Gongsun and Zhan Zhao without any hassle.Zhan Zhao stopped him when he was picking up the candy and dried fruit at the end: "You can put away the other things as you like, and send this fish to the kitchen while it's fresh." After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he handed the dried fruit in his hand to Ding Yuehua: "Listen Ding Second, you like to eat dried fruit?" Then he gave the candy to Ye Shulan, and patted his head by the way: "Here is the candy, it's a meritorious service to save you, let me reward the little girl!"

"It's not a little girl!" Ye Shulan muttered, but still reached out to take it.

Bai Yutang snorted and turned his head: "Borrowing flowers and presenting Buddhas is nothing like a reward... Mmm!"

——The next second, a candy was stuffed into his mouth.

As soon as she lowered her head, she saw Ye Shulan looking up at him with a smile: "Is it sweet?"

"...It's very sweet." Bai Yutang slurred his speech while holding the candy in his mouth, but Ye Shulan still heard it clearly, and smiled so much that his eyes narrowed: "Then I'll try it too!"

As he spoke, he looked down at the candy in the bag in his hand, tilted his head, and silently picked a yellow candy and stuffed it into his mouth.

Bai Yutang looked down, couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could see the fluttering of long eyelash feathers, like the butterfly in his childhood memory that flew into his dream with trembling wings, which made him move slightly in his heart, subconsciously and quickly Turn your head away.

The hard candy slowly melted in the mouth, and the sweet and greasy taste only permeated the entire mouth, but it seemed that the whole body was soaked in sugar water. It should be annoyingly greasy, but I like it inexplicably.

I like it very much.

Soon entered Kaifeng mansion.

Bao Zheng welcomed several people into the lobby, and ordered tea to be delivered quickly.

Kaifeng Mansion is a Qingshui yamen, so things are naturally not very good.Although the quality of the tea is not bad, it is not as good as Ye Shulan's usual drink, so I drank a few sips, and after Gongsun put the good medicine on Bai Yutang's wrist, while Mr. Bao was discussing with Zhan Zhao and Lu Fang Sneaked out during the assassination.

Bai Yutang saw it and followed him out.Ding Yuehua might have wanted to chase him out, but Zhan Zhao, who was also paying attention to the situation here, stopped him: "Mrs. Bao is in the backyard, she likes girls very much, Yuehua, why don't you go and meet her?"

Huh?Ding Yuehua blinked, but still nodded, letting the little maid who was waiting on her side lead the way.

After Bai Yutang and Ye Shulan left the main hall, they turned into a courtyard. There was a small tree in the center of the courtyard. There was a stone table under it and five stone benches around it. People look very comfortable.

Ye Shulan bounced around and looked around, and finally came to the stone table, and just about to sit down, she was lifted up by Bai Yutang's arm, and was about to ask what's the matter, when suddenly she heard "Meow~~" from below her Looking down, there was a cat lying on the stone bench she was going to sit on. It seemed to be woken up by her, and it was licking its paws to wash its face.

"So cute—" Ye Shulan squatted down and looked at the cat intently.

This seems to be a little milk cat, which can be fully held by two hands. It is dressed in black and white fur, and it is really cute to make such movements.

The little milk cat seemed to have a temper, and didn't respond to Ye Shulan's praise at all. It focused on licking its paws, and changed one paw after licking.

Seeing this, Ye Shulan cautiously wanted to touch it, but just as she raised her hand, the milk cat suddenly raised its head, startled Ye Shulan, then turned around and jumped onto the stone table, stepped on another stone bench and jumped to the ground , and then ran towards a corner of the courtyard.

"Hey, little cat—" Ye Shulan chased after him without thinking.Bai Yutang could only follow slowly.

After running over there, I found out that it was the kitchen, and there was a circle of cats outside the kitchen, big and small, mixed and pure, so many that it seemed like a pet shop in later generations, a pet shop specializing in cats, And all the cats are looking at the kitchen in the posture of looking at husband stones.

Ye Shulan was wondering why there were so many cats, but Bai Yutang suddenly moved her nose: "So the kitchen is cooking fish."

Sniffing, the air near the kitchen was full of mixed vegetable aromas, Ye Shulan rubbed her nose, and glanced at Bai Yutang - she couldn't tell the smell of fish.

At this time, someone came out from the kitchen, looked at the cats at the door with a helpless expression, then entered the kitchen, brought out a bowl of cat food mixed with small dried fish, and while feeding the cats, he muttered: "Just know how to cook Fish, you guys just come back and watch over it, luckily you have made preparations in advance..."

Ye Shulan and Bai Yutang walked around to other places in Kaifeng Mansion, and didn't go back until someone came to inform them that lunch was open.

During the meal, men and women still sat separately, Ye Shulan and Ding Yuehua accompanied Mrs. Bao in the inner room, while the others were in the outer room.

Mrs. Bao is a standard ancient boudoir daughter, gentle and virtuous, tough and self-reliant, it is easy for people to feel good about her - she always feels that only such a woman can stand beside Bao Zheng, the most upright official in Song Dynasty.

After serving the dishes, I saw sweet and sour carp on the table.

Ye Shulan couldn't help laughing, and told about seeing "Hundred Cats Surrounding the Kitchen" in the kitchen.

Ding Yuehua also felt strange: "Why does Kaifeng Mansion raise so many cats?"

"It's not raised in the mansion." Mrs. Bao was very helpless. "Since Guard Zhan came to Kaifeng Mansion, a lot of cats have suddenly appeared in the mansion. Fortunately, these cats seem to have owners, and they don't need to be fed every day. Delaying the work of the people in the mansion, coupled with the fact that they consume a lot less rats, they did not drive them away."

——Kaifeng Mansion also has its own small granary. The problem of rat consumption is the most worrying on weekdays, and the cats it raises are inexplicably always kept for a short time. In another sense, this group of cats can be considered a credit.

"Zhan Zhao's nickname Royal Cat has attracted so many cats, and they are so-called Five Rats. Wouldn't the sky island become the world of mice?" Ye Shulan's eyes widened—meaning that the sky island was invaded by mice... Stop, stop, stop, if you continue to think about it, you will not be able to eat!

"It's so mysterious." Mrs. Bao smiled and waved her hands, "I guess, it's probably because Zhanwei likes to eat fish. Since Zhanwei came, the mansion has to make fish every now and then, no matter whether it's fried or steamed. Yes, the lady in the kitchen said that the smell of fish can’t be washed away—and whenever the kitchen cooks fish, there will always be a group of cats around outside, which makes them worry. Miss Xiaoye must be watching that scene .”

Ding Yuehua nodded clearly.Ye Shulan tilted her head and thought about it——Zhan Zhao also likes to eat fish?Tangtang also likes to eat, the two of them...wouldn't be fighting at the dinner table?

As for the outside, although there was no fight, it was almost the same.

Regardless of whether Zhan Zhao or Bai Yutang, in the circle they belong to, they are all like the son of heaven, and their comprehensive indicators of likability are comparable, so basically the people around them will let them and subconsciously spoil them ——For example, if Zhan Zhao is in Kaifeng Mansion, if there is only the last bowl of rice left, Mrs. Bao will definitely give it to Zhan Zhao instead of her husband, and Bai Yutang is spoiled unprincipled by several brothers, big and small. Even Ding Er, who always choked with him, would habitually give way to him.This also caused——as soon as the sweet and sour fish was served on the table, no one, whether it was Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce or Lu Fang and Ding Zhaohui, had any intention of moving. Only Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang lifted their chopsticks almost at the same time, and picked up the meat. In the tender position, the two pairs of chopsticks touched each other, making a "snap" sound, and then turned away from each other, and no one could catch the fish.

The two looked up at each other at the same time——

--open!

——You let go first!

--dream!

——Let's see who is the best!

Lu Fang and Ding Zhaohui are martial arts practitioners, and they were the first to notice the undercurrent between the two of them. After taking a glance, they immediately lowered their heads to eat, pretending they didn't see it—they didn't want to risk being blacklisted by Bai Lao Wu risk to persuade the fight.Anyway, to get acquainted with Bai Wu, one must be prepared to be sacked together with the other party.

Bao Zheng also found out after a while, but seeing that Lu Fang remained silent, he simply bowed his head too.

Gongsun was the last to find out. He was sitting on Zhan Zhao's left, so he tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Bai Shaoxia's wrist is still injured."

Remembering this, Zhan Zhao was startled, and immediately let go of his strength, but Bai Yutang was accumulating strength, so after there was no barrier, Bai Yutang's chopsticks stabbed heavily into the fish, and there was only a "click", and the plate containing the fish cracked into several pieces——

Looking at the fish that fell on the table, Zhan Zhao covered his chest with distress: "It's ruined, you white mouse!"

Bai Yutang silently put down his chopsticks and turned his head—you can't just blame me!
