treacherous world

Seeing that the auspicious day for engagement wine is getting closer and closer, everyone in Kaifeng Mansion is also busy.

Basically, everyone has their own things to do.

Gongsun is the most shrewd at accounting. Although I don’t say it’s extravagant this time, it’s still a lot of expenses. All the accounts and scheduling are all in charge of Gongsun. Bao Yan is his right-hand man. Well organized.

Pang Yu is out to the outside world. Recently, many people gave gifts that were close to each other. Pang Yu helped send them away one by one. This time, only his own people are invited for this engagement, and no outsiders are invited.

The rest of the people, Zhanbai's parents are in charge of preparing all the necessities for the wedding, half of the shadow guards help to move things, half help to decorate the wedding hall, and all the servants of Kaifeng Mansion are responsible for sweeping the dust.

A group of people from Tianmo Palace and everyone from Xingkong Island arranged the boat.Bao Zheng has already approved Zhan Zhao's vacation, and after the engagement banquet is over, Zhan Zhao will go out on a boat with Bai Yutang.

The first stop is to go north, to Yingxue Palace in the extreme north, and stay there for three days; then go south to Hongyin Village, stay for another three days; go to Tianzun’s Baihua Valley, stay for another three days; Then they went south all the way to Changzhou Mansion, where Zhan Zhao lived in his hometown for three days; then went to Xingkong Island, stayed a few more days; Tang and them, the house has been built on it, and the island has not been named yet, waiting for them to pick it up.

The itinerary was roughly arranged in this way, so everyone was so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground, and even the fourth son ran around carrying things all day long.

In comparison, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are relatively free.

On this day, Zhan Zhao woke up early in the morning and felt the dust was flying. When he went out to look, he saw that everyone was covering their mouths and noses with square scarves, feather dusters were flying in the yard, and everyone in Kaifeng Mansion was sweeping the dust collectively.

Bai Yutang was most afraid of dust, so he simply retreated into the room. Zhan Zhao looked around and wanted to help, but Yin Lanci drove him back, "Go, sweep the dust today, Kaifeng Mansion, and the boat, the most important thing is to clean up before getting engaged. You two are not allowed to participate."

Zhan Zhao was speechless, "Then where shall we live?"

"You two are not allowed to participate because you are not allowed to clean these places, because there are not enough people." Yin Lanci said, handed two feather dusters to Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, and waved to the door, "Come in."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked up and saw four people walking in from the door, the youngest son was carrying a bucket, Xiao Liang was holding a pile of rags, Yin Hou and Tianzun were holding a broom.

Bai Yutang raised his eyelids, "No way..."

"Your new house has been cleaned once before, and it is relatively clean, so you guys are responsible for cleaning the new house." Yin Lanci smiled and ordered.

Lu Xueer brought a big bundle from outside, "This is a new bedding, take them all, the bed needs to be made."

"Okay." The fourth son reached out to catch it, Lu Xueer let go, and with a "poof", the fourth son was crushed under a stack of quilts.

"Jin'er!" Xiao Liang quickly dug up the quilt and rescued the fourth son.

The two mothers were about to leave, but Bai Yutang suddenly said, "I apply for a replacement!"

Yin Lanci and Lu Xueer looked back at Bai Yutang, "Substitution?"

Bai Yutang put down the feather duster, sat down and held a teacup, "I want Bai Fu, Bao Fu, Pang Fu and Xiao Yu, the four of them are useless at all."

Zhan Zhao nodded again and again, "Yes." He said, pointing at Bai Yutang, "Find any servant and replace him too, this rat is too lazy to look good, the most useless person to sweep the dust is him !"

Both Yin Hou and Tianzun nodded!

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao resentfully, but he could just replace him, at worst, go to Taibaiju for a drink.

The fourth son was also very happy, and leaned over to Xiaoliang, "Little Liangzi, shall we go to the opera? The other day, sister Yuanyuan said that Shen Yuanzi's theater troupe had made a new play called Mouse, Cat and Heavenly Fairy. Look!" "Really? "

As soon as the fourth son's words came out, half of the people in Kaifeng Mansion ran over and leaned over to ask him, "A rat, a cat, and a fairy?"

"Yeah." The fourth son nodded happily, "Sister Yuanyuan said that she would invite her into the palace to perform for the Queen Mother and the others that day. Everyone said it was good-looking!"

"Brother Zhan and Brother Bai are playing?" Bao Yan was curious.

"right."

"Oh, it's better to reserve the venue." Pang Yu hurriedly asked people to locate the place, and some said they would bring their family members to watch together, while Bao Yan counted the number of people.

"None of you are allowed to go!" Yin Lanci and Lu Xueer slapped the table, kicked everyone out, and turned their heads to warn Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, "If there are rules in engagement, you must tidy up the room. No dust is allowed. I'll check it out later, clean it up for me!" After finishing speaking, he glared at the fourth son and the four of them, narrowing his eyes and threatening, "Sweep the dust! Sweep the dust!"

The fourth son got behind Yin Hou, Yin Hou pouted with a broom, "Overqualified."

Soon, everyone arrived in front of Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao's new house.

It was the first time for the fourth son and the others to come here. When they entered the door, they couldn't help admiring, "Wow... what a beautiful house!"

"Master Bao is really interesting." Yin Hou clicked his tongue twice, "I also gave you a house."

The fourth son walked around the room a few times, "There are so many little mice and kittens!"

Zhan Zhao took the feather duster and walked to the eaves, looked up at the beautiful wooden rafters above, and the exposed cornices, there really was some dust accumulated.

Xiao Liang was the most reliable of these people. He brought a ladder and climbed up with a rag to clean the windows.

The fourth son went to fetch water with rock-scissors.

Yin Hou took a look at the broom, raised one eyebrow, and studied how to use it.

Tianzun sat gracefully on the edge of the stone table waiting for tea, while looking around, "This house is quite old, tsk tsk, the bamboo and chrysanthemums are pretty good, quite elegant."

"I asked you to sweep the floor, who asked you to come and enjoy the flowers." Yin Hou pulled him up and gave him a broom.

"How could I sweep the floor?!" Tianzun turned his face away.

Yin Hou felt that if Tianzun didn't sweep the floor, he would sweep one more person's share, so what should I do? !He said, "Old man, his muscles and bones are too old to move, right? If you're afraid of losing your waist, just say it straight!"

"I am." Tianzun was not convinced, "You and I are the same."

"I'm different from you. I'm good at sweeping the floor." After saying that, Yin Hou really started sweeping the floor.

Tianzun was a child with a temper, seeing that Yin Hou knew no reason why he couldn't, so he took the broom and swept it twice like Yin Hou did.Sweeping and sweeping, Tianzun thought it was quite fun and could be used to write calligraphy, but the broom was not very good.

At the other end, the little four wandered over with a wooden bucket, humming and singing little songs, followed by Rock and Scissors, each with a mop in his mouth.

"Little Four." Yin Hou called him, took the bucket in his hand, took another mop, and started writing on the ground after wetting it.

"This is interesting!" Tianzun jumped up and started to write calligraphy on the ground. The fourth son clapped his hands while watching, "Wow, Tianzun is great!"

Yin Hou leaned on the broom and looked at it, "I'm quite proud of it. You are famous all day long, and I don't see anything particularly good. Look at mine."

After finishing speaking, Yin Hou also grabbed the mop, and compared with Tianzun who could write better.

As the two came and went, the ground in the yard was polished brightly.

The fourth son watched and clapped his hands, Zhan Zhao dusted the dust with a feather duster, and said, "This is a good way to wipe the floor." As he said, he turned to look at Bai Yutang.

I saw him sitting leisurely beside the stone table, playing with the stone with a feather duster in his hand, watching the excitement.

"Bai Yutang!" Zhan Zhao hadn't called Bai Yutang by name for a long time, which startled him.

Looking up at him, "Cat? Do you want osmanthus tea?"

"What tea do you want?" Zhan Zhao pointed to the feather duster in his hand, "I want you to sweep the dust, who told you to drink tea, get up."

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao foolishly, he had never been ordered like this in his life, he shrugged, "No."

"No? You don't even know how to sweep the dust?"

"Never scanned."

"No, I'll teach you. Look at you, you don't know the grains if you don't work with your limbs."

Bai Yutang still smiled calmly, "Why do you want to divide the five grains? Can it be enough if you can eat them?"

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes and ticked him with a feather duster, "Are you coming?!"

Bai Yutang was helpless, but did Zhan Zhao's words have magical power? Uncle Bai stood up obediently, holding a feather duster as if he was holding some famous utensil, and walked over slowly, with his hands behind his back, he raised his head, and a black thing came down... Quickly took a step back.

With a "snap", a dirty rag fell onto the floor in front of Bai Yutang's eyes.

Bai Yutang looked down, looked up, and saw Xiao Liang apologizing, "Ah, Brother Bai, don't stand there, I'll throw all the rags I used there."

Seeing that the surrounding area was indeed dangerous, Bai Yutang jumped to Zhan Zhao's side and patted Zhan Zhao lightly with a feather duster.

"I didn't ask you to dust me, dust me." Zhan Zhao pointed to the eaves above.

Bai Yutang raised his face and took a look, feeling that it was not difficult, he stretched out his hand and dusted off like Zhan Zhao did.

I just scanned twice, and immediately covered my eyes, "Hui..."

"Grey?" Zhan Zhao turned his head and saw Bai Yutang rubbing his eyes.

"Hey!" Zhan Zhao quickly grabbed his hand, "You're still rubbing your eyes when it's dusty, come with me!" After speaking, he pulled Bai Yutang to sit beside him, and stretched out his hand to break his eyes.

Bai Yutang felt that he couldn't open his eyes, so Zhan Zhao opened them to look.

"Huh..." Zhan Zhao blows the wind on Bai Yutang's eyes, and sighs - the eyelashes are so long!

"Cat, don't blow the drool in."

"That's cheap for you." Zhan Zhao got a clean wet veil and wiped his eyes.Bai Yutang's eyes were fine immediately, except that they were a little red.

"Is it still hurting?"

Zhan Zhao took a closer look.

"Huh?" Bai Yutang looked up at him and said intentionally, "There seems to be a little more."

"What else?" Zhan Zhao stared seriously at Bai Yutang's eyes, turned upside down and turned upside down, twisting his body, he couldn't see clearly, so he simply pressed Bai Yutang on the rattan couch, climbed up to look, "Lie down and don't move." !"

Bai Yutang leaned on the rattan couch and looked at Zhan Zhao casually. Zhan Zhao tossed and turned, "Why is it still hurting? It's strange, do you have trachoma?" What trachoma? Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to roll Zhan Zhao's eyes, "Different from yours?" "

"There seems to be some?" Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand, "Little Si, give me that mirror."

After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, the crowd fell silent, and turned around to see that the fourth son was looking at them stupidly, not even Yin Hou and Tianzun beside him, looking at them speechlessly.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, only to realize why they were so close, and then looked at each other's current situation... Zhan Zhao quickly got up and coughed awkwardly.

Bai Yutang also stood up and patted his clothes.

"The eyes don't hurt anymore."

After a long time, Bai Yutang said cheekily.Zhan Zhao looked at him speechlessly, it was clearly an act!

Yin Hou and Tianzun held back their laughter and moved aside, continuing to mop the floor with "calligraphy", while the fourth son carried a small bucket to help Xiao Liangzi sweep the dust.

Zhan Zhao was left behind to "hand in hand" teach Bai Yutang to sweep the dust.

"dust……"

As soon as Bai Yutang raised his hand, dust fell into his eyes again.

Zhan Zhao is depressed, this person is really rich and lucky, just sweeping the dust, as for the dust in the eyes after sweeping?

"Raise your head to sweep the dust, how could it not get in your eyes?!" Bai Yutang still felt that he was quite reasonable.

"You're stupid." Zhan Zhao supported his chin with one hand, "Raise it a little bit, then avoid it a little bit, and spot where the dust is!"

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao with admiration on his face, "Will you dust off or practice?"

After tossing and tossing for a long time, the final result was that the Zhan guard was busy dusting the dust, while Bai Wuye was drinking tea gracefully at the side, and continued to tease the stone with the feather duster.

In the evening, when Bai Yutang went out to buy dinner, everyone was exhausted, but the house was cleaned spotlessly, especially the floor.

Yin Hou and Tianzun are worthy of their deep internal strength, the floor tiles have been ground down and are shiny!

The fourth son was so tired that he lay on the back of the stone, and Xiao Liang squeezed his arm.

Bai Yutang took out all the food and looked around, "Where's Zhan Zhao?"

Yin Hou pointed to the back and said, "It's in the backyard, I just said to wash my hands."

Bai Yutang put down his things and went to the backyard to look for Zhan Zhao.

At this moment in the yard, Zhan Zhao didn't know what he was looking for, he was squatting on the ground, looking at the floor tiles bit by bit.

"Cat." Bai Yutang came behind him, "What are you looking for?"

"Well...something."

"What?" Bai Yutang felt a little nervous, "Thunderstorm? Poison?"

"Wow, Young Master Bai, why are you so dark?" Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and pulled him to squat down, watching with himself.

"What?" Bai Yutang squatted down and realized that there were some pictures carved on the ground.As if carved by a child, the paintings on the floor tiles are connected one by one.I drew two children. They were childhood sweethearts playing together. They were very happy. They seemed to live in this yard, chasing and chasing each other all day long.

So, the two followed the stone bricks until they saw the wall, watched the two children grow up, one went to school, and the other went out to the rivers and lakes. They were very knowledgeable in both literature and martial arts. They knew that they were back in their 20s. Kaifeng.Finally, in front of a small bush, the picture stopped.

"Is it gone?" Bai Yutang frowned, "After all, they will be gone when they grow up?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, and when he pushed aside the bushes, he saw a painting on the wall, which was a scene of getting married.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang smiled knowingly.

Bai Yutang put his hand on Zhan Zhao's shoulder, "Mao'er, we're going to have a wedding drink the day after tomorrow, are you ready?"

Zhan Zhao looked at him sideways, "What about you?"

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, "I've been ready for a long time."

Zhan Zhao bumped him with his elbow, "How long?"

"Longer than you."

"Cut, you obviously don't remember me from the very beginning!"

"You admit that you have had a crush on me since you were a child?"

"Stupid rat!"
