Dragon Pattern Roll Set

When Zhan Zhao and the others returned to Kaifeng Mansion from the palace, Tianzun and Yin Hou had already returned.

Apparently they just arrived, probably hungry, Chen Xing'er and Yue Yue'er were cooking noodles for them for supper.

Bai Yutang glanced at Tianzun who was sitting at the table and yawning.

Zhan Zhao also glanced at Yin Hou who was about to wash up and go to bed.

Everyone looked at each other—how could you tell a few old people about letting them go to Taixue to teach...

At this time, Hong Jiuniang came out of the room and asked Cui'er who was passing by, "Tui'er, do you have a thicker quilt?"

"Yes." Tweety nodded, "But the winter quilt hasn't been dried yet..."

"It's okay, hang it up." Hong Jiuniang pointed to the shelf beside her.

Tweety went to hug a thick quilt, and as soon as it was hung on the shelf, she saw Hong Jiuniang lighting the fire to roast the quilt, so startled that Tweety yelled, "The silk quilt is going to catch fire!"

While speaking, sure enough, the quilt made a "boom".

Everyone was shocked, and saw Jiu Niang raised her hand and waved... the fire went out instantly.

Look at that quilt again, it's fluffy.

Jiuniang picked it up and patted it, then ran into the house with her arms in her arms.

Everyone looked at each other and looked into the room curiously.

I saw that Jiuniang had covered the quilt on the bed. There was a person on the bed who was sleeping, and Jiuniang had covered two quilts.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Zhan Zhao who was having dinner with Yin Hou, and everyone in the Demon Palace who was not curious at all—who is on the bed?

After counting the number of people, everyone found out—it should be Wu Yifu, a sick scholar.

Sure enough, when Jiuniang covered the quilt and stood up, twisted and twisted and walked out, everyone glanced at the bed, and the sick scholar seemed to be asleep, and his forehead was exposed outside.

Gongsun blinked and asked, "Are you sick? It's not cold today, so it doesn't matter if you cover so much?"

"It's okay, this sick bag has been a little sick recently, his hands and feet are cold, and he sleeps better with a hot spot." As she said, Jiu Niang reminded everyone, "Also, don't bother him to sleep, this sick bag usually Like a sick cat, you just rub it round and flatten it casually, you just get up so angry, if you don’t sleep well and get woken up halfway, the consequences will be serious.”

Everyone raised their eyebrows—how serious?

"Hoho..." Granny Heishui seemed to remember something and shook her head, "It's quite serious."

Everyone gasped, feeling dangerous...

"Speaking of..."

Long Qiaoguang, who was sharing a grapefruit with the fourth son, suddenly asked, "Wu Yifu knows how to shoot arrows?"

Everyone swiped and turned to look at him.

Master Guang chewed on the grapefruit and looked at the crowd puzzled, "What are you doing?"

Everyone stared at him for a while, then went to do other things tacitly.

Zhao Pu kicked him, "What are you doing here? Go back to your own home."

The corner of Long Qiaoguang's mouth twitched, and he pointed at Zhao Pu, "You don't seem to be from Kaifeng either..."

Zhao Pu pointed at Gongsun, "Family!"

Gongsun gave Zhao Pu a blank look, and everyone touched their chins, as if something was wrong...

Zhao Pu blinked, moved his arm to the side, and pointed at the fourth son, which meant—family member!

Little Sizi blinked, nodded, and said - that's right!family!

Everyone thought about it, and subconsciously went to look at Bai Yutang again.

Right now, Bai Yutang was looking at the white note that Tianzun silently stuffed in, on it was the amount he lost to Hong Jiuniang and the others today.

Bai Yutang handed the note to Chen Xing'er, and said, "Let Bai Fu deliver the money tomorrow."

Chen Xing'er nodded, and ran away with the note.

All the aunts in the Demon Palace nodded—family members!

Both Zhan Zhao and Yin Hou supported their foreheads.

At this moment, Lord Bao came in and said, "Are you discussing about going to the Taixue to teach?"

Everyone was taken aback, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao scratched their heads, and several old people asked curiously, "Teaching?"

Lord Bao stroked his beard, "Hehe, it happens that Lin Xiao is arranging the courses for the new semester these few days, and the emperor seems to have asked him to arrange them together."

After speaking, Mr. Bao happily left.

Yinhou Tianzun and the others looked at the little ones curiously—what do you mean?

The corners of Zhan Zhao and the others twitched——Zhao Zhen's hands and feet were too fast!Damn it!Now there is no room for turning around!

……

And at this moment, old master Lin Xiao is the first and the second oldest.

The old master scratched his head and looked at the list of people who were going to teach under the order that Zhao Zhen gave him. He couldn't laugh or cry. The old man always felt that the new Taixue was in danger of collapsing again.

At this time, a family member ran in, "Master, someone is looking for you."

Lin Xiao was puzzled... who was looking for him at such a late hour?Just ask, "Who is it?"

"I don't know him. He seems to have just arrived from another place. He asked me to give you a letter." The family handed the letter to Lin Xiao.

The old man took the letter and opened it, and saw that the letter was written by an old friend, Chen Zigui, a former academician of the Imperial Academy, who recommended a scholar to study at Taixue.

The letter stated that this student was the son of a friend of Chen Zigui, whose family members passed away prematurely, but this son was by no means extraordinary, a rare talent.His grades in the local examination met the standard for admission to the Taixue. Although he is not from a famous family, he can also accept the children of ordinary people, as long as someone recommends him, so he recommended this person to Lin Xiao.Moreover, Chen Zigui wrote in the letter that this person is very interesting and has a relationship with Lin Xiao, hoping that Lin Xiao can take care of his life in Kaifeng.

After reading the letter, Lin Xiao hurriedly said to his family, "Please come in."

Putting down the letter, the old man was quite surprised, Chen Zigui was a noble man, and had served in the Imperial Academy, with an extraordinary status, he seldom recommended anyone.Among so many people, the only one he praised as a "rare talent", as far as Lin Xiao knew, was Bao Zheng back then.Being personally recommended by him, it can be seen that this son has real talent and learning.Lin Xiao was thirsty for talent, so he really wanted to meet this scholar. At the same time, he was also a little puzzled, what does it mean that this scholar is destined to be with him?

After a while, the butler walked in with a tall and thin young man.

Contrary to Lin Xiao's expectations, he originally thought that this young man would be a quiet and intelligent scholar similar to Bao Yan, or as elegant and honest as Wang Qi.

But the young man who walked in made it impossible for Lin Xiao to connect with Mr. Wen Sheng.

I saw that he was very tall, about the same as Ge Qing, with a tall and straight figure. He was wearing a slim black dress with a white cloak outside. , walked in slowly.He is only seventeen or eighteen years old, with fair skin, outstanding appearance, a pair of phoenix eyes, a high nose and narrow cheeks, and a casual look, how should I put it... like a good-looking homeless man...

Lin Xiao must have a very shocked expression on his face at this time, the man is obviously also looking at the old man in front of him.

Lin Xiaoci has a good-natured face, and at first glance he looks like a learned old man, but he seems to be quite old-fashioned.

The boy raised his eyebrows at the old man, reached out and put the wine jar on the table in front of Lin Xiao, and said with a smile, "Meeting ceremony."

The corner of Lin Xiao's mouth twitched, and he asked uncertainly, "Are you..."

At this moment, the boy was looking around Lin Xiao's study, and said, "My name is Lin Xiao."

Master Lin Xiao's mouth twitched, "Lin..."

The young man spread his hands, "The sky in the sky."

Mrs. Lin Xiao finally understood what Chen Zigui said in his letter, what it meant to be "destined" with him, the name has the same pronunciation, this is ridiculous.

Lin Xiao nodded, and also felt that his expression might be a little rude, so he said, "Oh, please sit down."

The boy put down his luggage and sat on a chair, and the butler brought him tea.

Lin Xiao glanced at the young man's luggage, and saw a very simple bag, an umbrella, and a long cloth bag, which seemed to be a knife or a sword.

He looked at the young man again, and for some reason, this young man always gave Lin Xiao a sense of quackery close to Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang, so he asked, "Mr. Lin, do you know martial arts?"

Lin Xiao blinked, seeing Lin Xiao looking at the cloth strip, he stretched out his hand to pull the cloth cover, inside was not a sword, but a long bamboo flute.

Lin Xiao suddenly realized that he might have thought too much, but he was curious, "This flute seems to be longer than ordinary flutes."

Lin Xiao nodded, "Well, it's easy to use if it's long."

Lin Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and the tone of his speech didn't look like a scholar. Is Chen Zigui trying to make fun of him?

"That... Mr. Lin, where do you live? Do you have relatives at home?" Lin Xiao inquired.

The young man shrugged, "I'm from Hangzhou. My parents made umbrellas and passed away ten years ago."

Lin Xiao nodded, and at the same time, he also noticed a paper umbrella that Lin Xiao put under the burden.

Taking a look, Lin Xiao frowned slightly. It was a white paper umbrella with a simple snow bamboo painted on it and the word "bamboo" written beside it.

Master Lin Xiao stood up, stared at the umbrella, walked over unconsciously, and reached out to pick it up.

Lin Xiao was looking left and right at the moment, whether he was sitting or not.

But Mr. Lin didn't care at all, instead he opened the umbrella and looked at the picture of snow bamboo and the word "bamboo" on the umbrella.

After a long time, the old man raised his head and asked Lin Xiao, "Who made this umbrella...?"

Lin Xiao glanced at it and said, "I did it."

The master blinked, looked down at the umbrella again, and sighed in his heart-both calligraphy and painting!The word "bamboo" is perfect!And with a madness.

"You like it, I'll give it to you." Lin Xiao said, rubbing his belly, "I'm so hungry, is there a kitchen? I'll eat a bowl of noodles..."

The old man held the umbrella, "It's so precious, can you give it to me?"

The young man was amused by him, "What's the price, it's very quick to make, there are four bunches of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum in total, one is exchanged for money, and two are exchanged for wine, how many more would you like to make for you when you have time? "

Master Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows.

The boy stood up, "Eating noodles..."

"What kind of noodles are you eating?!" The old man put down the umbrella and grabbed the boy, "Go, I invite you to eat some delicious food!"

After finishing speaking, he dragged the young man and ran out the door, and went to Taibaiju to order a banquet for him.

Taibai Juli, Lin Fuzi rested his chin, watching the young man in front of him eating big mouthfuls, his appetite is not small...

Taibai Juli's buddy is still curious, where did Mr. Lin find this idiot?

While eating, the boy suddenly raised his eyes, glanced out of the window, and stared in a certain direction in a daze.

Master Lin saw that he had stopped listening, so he looked in the direction he was looking in a blink of an eye.It was pitch black outside the window, and it was late at night after all, so I couldn't see anything... However, in the distance, the arrogant Miaomiao Building in Kaifeng Mansion towered into the sky.Lin Xiao thought he was looking at the building, so he said, "That building belongs to Kaifeng Mansion."

Lin Xiao froze for a moment, stuffed another Sixi ball into his mouth, chewed, and said to the clerk, "Oh, close the window, it's windy at night."

Little Six ran up to help close the window.

Master Lin Xiao held the wine glass, took a sip, raised his eyebrows, "Good wine!"

Lin Xiao stuffed the old man with a mouth full of food, which meant—it’s delicious!

The old man laughed out loud, feeling that Chen Zigui was really not teasing him, but sent him a strange and amusing little friend.

After eating, the two just left the gate of Taibaiju, and met Ouyang Shaozheng who was returning home with a troop of soldiers from the imperial city.

Ouyang took Chunhua back home after eating supper in Kaifeng.

At this time, Chunhua was dozing off while sitting on the horse.

Ouyang Shaozheng saw Master Lin Xiao and a young man at a glance, wondering.

"Master." Huo Qilin sat on the horse and greeted the old man, "Why don't you bring a few followers when you go out at night?"

The old man waved his hand, "It's only a few steps away, what followers do you bring?"

Ouyang nodded and looked at the young man behind Lin Xiao.

"Oh, I'm a nephew." Lin Xiao introduced.

Ouyang nodded, and patted Chunhua who was dozing off.

Chunhua woke up with a start, rubbing her head and subconsciously covering her buttocks.

Ouyang Shaozheng was speechless, and motioned him to say hello to Master Lin.

Chunhua hurriedly saluted Lin Xiao, Ouyang told the old man to go home as soon as possible, and ordered several soldiers to send Lin Xiao back to the mansion safely.

Lin Fuzi happily took Lin Xiao away.

As Lin Xiao walked, he looked back at the soldiers and horses of the imperial city who were walking away.

Master Lin smiled and said, "Have you heard of it? Pioneer Officer Ouyang Shaozheng."

Lin Xiao nodded, "Fire Qilin."

Master Lin smiled and said, "The boy beside him is also a student of Taixue. You are not familiar with the place here. I will introduce them to you tomorrow."

Lin Xiao nodded, and suddenly asked the old man, "Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy, old man?"

Lin Xiao was taken aback, then waved his hands, "Oh, you were introduced by Zigui, how could you be a bad person?"

"Maybe the letter is fabricated." Lin Xiao shrugged.

Mr. Lin shook his head and said, "Handwriting is like a person. Old man, I see few other things, but calligraphy and painting. You will never be a bad person. Don't worry, you can live in my house as long as you study in Taixue, haha. "

Lin Xiao walked back with the old man. When he turned the corner, he slowed down a few steps, turned his head, and glanced at a dark alley behind him... Lin Xiao's eyes were a little cold, with a faint murderous look.Afterwards, he turned his head inadvertently and continued to return home with Lin Xiao.

At this time, Ouyang Shaozheng's troops were almost at the gate of the mansion.

Chunhua saw that Ouyang Shaozheng was frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something, so he asked, "Uncle, are you thinking about teaching?"

Ouyang came back to his senses, shook his head, and asked Chunhua, "Do you know the young man behind Master Lin just now?"

Chunhua shook his head and touched his chin, "I haven't seen it before."

Ouyang Shaozheng didn't say much, he was a little puzzled - this young man's martial arts is quite good, does Mr. Lin have any relatives who are so good at martial arts?

Ouyang arranged some troops to secretly protect Master Lin Xiao's mansion and Taixue.But if you talk about officials, the least hated person in the world should be this old master who is too learned.The old man is so nice, and he doesn't have much power, just a teacher, so no one should make trouble for him, right?

……

That night, in the dead of night.

After Zhan Zhao washed up, he put on a cloak and rushed to the stables. He looked at Duoduo before going to bed, and he couldn't fall asleep without looking at it.

Bai Yutang also followed him, grabbing handfuls of candies and feeding them to the other horses.

Zhan Zhao leaned against the front of Duoduo's stable, stretched out his hand to gently stroke Duoduo's neck, looking at the bulging belly, he was inexplicably worried, would he give birth tonight?

Yaoyao also came over, and Bai Yutang was afraid that it would make too much noise, so he stretched out his hand to grab its wings and drag them aside.

Yaoyao was used to teasing Bai Yutang on weekdays, thinking that Bai Yutang was playing with him, so he flapped his wings twice, took Bai Yutang into the air, and flew all the way to the roof of Meow Meow Building, where he spread his wings on the roof circling.

Bai Yutang jumped off its back and sat on the roof of Miaomiao Building, watching the night view of Kaifeng City.I haven't been back for a long time. There are some subtle changes in Kaifeng's night scene, probably because many houses have been rebuilt.

Yaoyao landed and lay obediently beside Bai Yutang, with his big wings erected to protect him from the wind.

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand, and lightly touched Yaoyao's big head which was leaning against his leg.

One person and one dragon just sat like this for a while, Bai Yutang touched Yaoyao while looking at the night scene, for some reason, he always felt that there seemed to be something different, obviously he had seen the night scene of Kaifeng many times, but tonight felt particularly different coordination.Fifth Lord has also researched it, so it shouldn't be a problem with the new building.

Finally, Bai Yutang began to look around seriously, and finally, his eyes settled down.

Bai Yutang looked at a few spots of light on the hillside of the West Mountain, feeling a little confused, is there a house in that place?I haven't seen lights there before.

"Yutang."

At this time, Zhan Zhao also came up, landed beside him and reached out to pat his shoulder, "Gongsun said Duoduo probably won't give birth tonight, go back to sleep."

Bai Yutang nodded, but didn't move.

Zhan Zhao knelt down to look at him, "Go to bed early, aren't you tired?"

"Hmm..." Bai Yutang agreed softly, frowned and pointed in the direction of Xishan, asking, "Cat, what kind of house is that?"

Zhan Zhao looked in the direction of Bai Yutang's finger, and suddenly froze.

After staring at the brightly lit house for a while, Zhan Zhao suddenly stood up with a "huh".

Bai Yutang was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Zhan Zhao frowned, his eyes were full of doubts, and he said, "That's the old house of the Jin family!"
