[Rat and Cat] Han Palace Autumn

"Cat..." Bai Yutang couldn't see the sadness in this thoughtful cat's eyes, he just wanted to chase after him so as to comfort him, but the four elder brothers couldn't pass this test either.

Min Xiuxiu, who followed Zhan Zhao out, smiled meaningfully. The relationship between Zhan Zhao and his fifth child is really not simple, as can be seen from the two people's names, that is, the four who have no eyesight. , just... She snorted softly - she has long seen that their unreasonable cynicism is not pleasing to the eye, so it's fine, let the old five kill their arrogance.

Seeing that Zhan Zhao's figure disappeared, Bai Yutang turned to Sishu angrily, "That cat is not that kind of person, you all misunderstood him."

"Why did we misunderstand?" Han Zhang said, "Old Five, what kind of ecstasy soup did Kitten Zhan give you? When you heard that he was appointed, wasn't it you who jumped the most out of anger?"

"That... that is," Bai Yutang's face blushed for no reason, "I wasn't angry with him at the time... well, let me just say it straight, I grew up with that cat, and the cat's The title is something I have been used to since I was a child, and when I heard that the emperor conferred such a title, I just..."

Jiang Ping looked at his stammering expression and was amused: "What's the matter, it turned out to be a taste - it's just that the cat entered the public house, it can't be faked."

Bai Yutang said solemnly: "The cat has entered the Gongmen, but he pretends to be the people of the world in his heart, and guards the blue sky for the people with his sword - Brothers, think about it, how many people can we save as a hero, just like Mr. Bao Such a blue sky, how many people can be benefited by serving as an official—that cat is for this purpose, but it is definitely not for glory and wealth."

Several people nodded secretly after hearing this, Lu Fang said: "It turns out that your sister-in-law often persuaded us in this way, but not as thoroughly as you - well, it may indeed be that we are too prejudiced and misunderstood him..."

Among them, it was Xu Qing who noticed what Bai Yutang said just now, put the sledgehammer on his waist, and said: "Old Wu, how did you know each other since childhood, and why have you never heard of it?"

Bai Yutang smiled: "The cat's second sister is my sister-in-law, and our two families are family friends."

"The eldest lady of the Jinhua Bai family..." Jiang Ping, who is most familiar with these things, was startled, "Could it be that the kitten is..."

"Yes," Bai Yutang grinned, "He is the third son of the Zhan family in Changzhou—now you can believe that he didn't enter the palace for some shit and wealth!"

"So that's how it is..." Several people suddenly realized that the business of Zhakong Island is very big, and they also have a lot of contacts with the Bai family Zhan family known as Jiangnan Double Wall, so they know how much money the Zhan family has, not to mention the Kaifeng mansion. Qingshui yamen, even the residence of any prince in Beijing, may not have the rich and noble style of the Zhan family.

The four mice sighed for a while: "It seems that our knowledge is indeed narrow... This Zhan Zhao is really, let the world be free and not go wandering, but instead enter the Gongmen with all the resentment, really..."

Bai Yutang smiled wryly: "That cat has such a temperament, he pretends to be the world in his heart, but he can't pretend to be himself—but it is also this kind of temperament that makes Fifth Master appreciate him so much."

The four mice all nodded, and Xu Qing, who was the most forthright, yelled, "This Zhan kitten is really cute, and I, Xu Qing, are the first to admire him! Fifth brother, brother, please apologize to him now!"

"Hey, wait a minute," Bai Yutang pulled him back, "The cat is injured, and it's been a hard journey, so I asked my sister-in-law to show him, so I can rest for a night, and come back tomorrow to see the four of you." elder brother."

"Alright," Lu Fang pondered for a while, "Since that's the case, fifth brother, you should go back first—can you have dinner?"

Bai Yutang nodded indiscriminately, and could not wait to fly away. After explaining to his brothers for so long, he was really worried about the cat.

The jade universe is boundless, the galaxy is already bright, and it is a clear and picturesque night.

The moonlight filled the courtyard like water, and a gust of evening wind blew gently, and the moonlight also seemed to ripple and sway, which only set off the bright moon as if it was soaked in water, full of transparency, emptiness, and deepness.

Bai Yutang pushed open the door, and Mrs. Lu was gone. Only Zhan Zhao was sitting on the bedside, holding a volume of books between his slender fingers. Void was in a trance quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Cat..." Bai Yutang gently stepped forward and put his arms around his thin waist, resting his chin on his shoulders, blowing lightly into his small earlobes, and teasingly said, "I'm so engrossed, but I'm thinking about it." Fifth Lord?"

Zhan Zhao froze, then softened, and smiled slightly, but pursed his lips and remained silent.

After a long while, a muffled voice came from behind the neck: "Cat, today... I'm sorry."

"What's the matter?" Zhan Zhao shook his head with a faint smile, "I've been mentally prepared for this since the day I entered the public school, and now I'm used to it."

These words made Bai Yutang's heart ache even more. With a slight force on his hand, he pulled Zhan Zhao's body, looked straight into his clear eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Mao'er, people in the world have misunderstood you deeply. The same is true for my brother, I have already told them, and the third brother was still calling for an apology, but I stopped him anyway... Remember, in the days to come, I, Bai Yutang, will face it with you. Don't say these things that make Fifth Master's heart hurt!"

Zhan Zhao couldn't help smiling when he saw his seriousness, and his whole face suddenly became lively like a spring breeze: "Yes, Zhan has made a note... Those brothers of yours are really bold and generous people."

"Really?" Bai Yutang was complacent, but suddenly thought of something, nervously groping around Zhan Zhao, "Did sister-in-law show you today, did you say anything?"

Zhan Zhao felt that he was touching the weak points of his body, and he almost didn't laugh out loud, and angrily knocked off the mouse's paw that was still moving around: "What are you moving about, my sister-in-law just told me to have a good rest, and I will study the pulse case when I go back." gone."

"Hey, cat, don't worry, my sister-in-law is very skilled in medicine, and she will be able to raise you fat and white for a month... Puff!" Bai Yutang said, imagining a fat and white cat. The cat in front of him couldn't help laughing as he stepped on the swallows and fell from the sky.

Zhan Zhao also laughed, the bright moon is in the sky, the years are quiet and beautiful, I wish to join hands with you to enjoy the bright moon and the breeze.

————————————————————————

In the morning of the next day, after Zhan Bai and his wife woke up and had breakfast, they were taken by the servants to the meeting room where five rats gathered.

When the four mice saw Zhan Zhao, they all looked a bit resentful, but on the contrary, Zhan Zhao showed a calm and unrestrained attitude, and greeted them without any grievances.

"Hey, Zhan Zhao, it was our brothers who misunderstood you before, you...you should be more considerate." Jiang Ping rubbed his palms and greeted him with a smile.

"That's right, Kitty Zhan, we were the ones who let you down!" Xu Qing's rough voice also rang out like thunder.

"No, no," Zhan Zhao quickly waved his hands, "There is no need for the four island owners, you are all heroes of the rivers and lakes, and Zhan has admired him for a long time..."

Min Xiuxiu grabbed him and said, "Don't worry about it, let them apologize. All the bosses are old, and they can't tell right from wrong, and they shout and kill at every turn. I don't like them a long time ago."

"Xiuxiu..." Lu Fang looked embarrassed and begged for mercy in a low voice, "In front of Brother Zhan, save us some face."

Min Xiuxiu glanced at the four dejected mice, La Zhanzhao sat down, and put his bare hands on his wrists—after she went back yesterday, she heard Lu Fang relay Bai Yutang's words, and immediately scolded the four of them.She already had a very good impression of Zhan Zhao, but now that she saw how badly he was hurt, and heard how he endured the humiliation, she felt sorry for him as if she were her own younger brother.

After a while, Mrs. Lu sighed, "I looked at your pulse case carefully last night, and your internal energy was extremely depleted at that time. In addition, you were injured by a poisonous weapon, and nine out of ten of your vitality was injured... Coupled with these years of constant injuries, worrying too much and not knowing how to recuperate... Alas, but fortunately, there is no danger of life, during this period of time, I only care about my life, after all, my inner strength is very good, it is not impossible to make up for it."

Zhan Zhao nodded, then stood up and saluted gratefully: "Thank you so much, Mrs. Lu."

"Hey, what is this for? Don't be too polite. You are about the same age as Lao Wu, and you are also a brother since childhood. Just follow Lao Wu and call me sister-in-law!"

"This..." Zhan Zhao's face turned red, and he took a sneak peek at the proud rat who seemed to have stolen oil.Bai Yutang noticed it, and gave him a wry smile: "Sister-in-law is absolutely right, cat, call!"

Zhan Zhao's face turned even redder, and he could only call out in a low voice: "Sister Lu..."

Min Xiuxiu looked at them "eyebrows expressing love", his eyes flashed, but he pretended not to notice it, and only enthusiastically said: "You child, what's the matter, you are really too shy. Go back with the fifth child, sister-in-law to give it to you." You decoct the medicine—Old Five, the kitten will be handed over to you, don’t let him get angry and use force during this period, so he can rest, you hear me?”

"Yes, yes, yes," Bai Yutang grinned, and scratched Min Xiuxiu's shoulder with the mouse's paw, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, it's just a sick cat. It's very easy for Fifth Lord to take care of him!"

Zhan Zhao had no choice but to be obediently "destroyed" back to Xueying Residence, and Bai Yutang also followed up erratically, leaving four mice staring at each other in the living room.

Jiang Ping twirled a strand of mustache on his lips, and said in doubt: "I see that there is something wrong with the relationship between the fifth child and Kitten Zhan..."

Min Xiuxiu gave him a blank look: "What's wrong, I think it's normal, go and go, don't get in the way here," said Min Xiuxiu and took out a prescription from his sleeve, "If you have spare time, help me get the medicine... ...Hey, don't run, you guys, come back to me!"
