treacherous world

"set off!"

On the prow of the gigantic Xuetai Sui boat in Yingxue Palace, the fourth son pointed his finger forward, and the boat started to move slowly...

"Little four."

Chen Xing'er held a plate of white fungus and red date soup, and beckoned to him, "Come here for some dim sum."

The fourth son ran back, the curtains in the big boat were down, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were holding their chins, watching Tianzun and Yinhou playing chess.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's vacation began. After Zhao Pu arranged the military affairs in the north, everyone went to the extreme northern iceland island, and wanted to visit Bai Yutang's grandfather and uncle first.

However, Lu Tianhan and Lu Dong were not on the island, so they ran somewhere wild, and they ran into the big boat from Yingxue Palace for nothing.

It turned out that Chen Xing'er and Yue Ya'er came to the extreme northern ice island to dig ice jade.Bingyu is a special product of Iceland Island. Its texture is similar to that of jade. It is crystal clear like frozen ice, and it is bitingly cold.

It has something to do with Lu Xueer's recent whim, wanting to get a piece of ice jade to make a set of ice furniture, and ask two little girls to fetch the stone.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang happened to take the boat to Yingxue Palace to visit relatives in Yingxue Palace.

Tianzun and Yinhou are not used to playing Go recently, because they play Gobang every time, so they changed to backgammon, and they still fought in the dark.

Sitting on Xue Taisui, Zhan Zhao felt that a living boat was different, it didn't sway at all, and he didn't get seasick, so he asked Bai Yutang, would this boat bite people?

Bai Yutang carefully explained to him what Tai Sui is, and at the end of the explanation, Zhan Zhao said, "Can I eat it?"

Bai Yutang completely gave up...

A large group of people sailed from the extreme north to Yingxue Palace.

Chen Xing'er asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "Master, husband, shall we go to Yingxue Palace or Yinhong Village?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and thought of a serious problem - Yingxue Palace and Yin Hongzhai are at the two ends of the waterway, and the distance from left to right is similar, what should we do?

"Tsk."

At this time, Yin Hou held the chess piece in a dilemma, "Which side should I put it?"

"There is no edge at both ends, and you will lose wherever you put it!" Tianzun was proud.

Yin Hou curled his lips, and broke a chess piece into two, one half, curled his lips, "Block both ends!"

After a moment of silence, Tianzun lifted the table, "Old devil, can you play chess? You can do such a thing!"

"It doesn't matter, it's blocked at both ends anyway!" Yin Hou made a face at Tianzun, and the two old men fought on the boat.

The fourth son was holding the white fungus soup, drinking it while watching Yinhou and Tianzun circling around in front of him.

Gongsun set up the chessboard and hooked his fingers at Zhao Pu who was yawning beside him.

Zhao Pu had some free time recently. After returning from the battlefield, he felt that there would be no more troubles in the near future, so he accompanied Gongsun and the fourth son, and followed Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang to visit relatives everywhere.The two of them were the exact opposite of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, Zhao Pu and Gongsun had almost no relatives, and Zhao Pu's only relative was an old lady, and the rest were in Kaifeng Mansion and the frontier.I have seen those in the frontier fortress before, the ones in Kaifeng Mansion... Everyone felt that going back to Kaifeng Mansion was not a vacation.

So... Zhao Pu and Gongsun took their fourth son and became the "guests" of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

Seeing that Gongsun was about to play chess, Zhao Putting his chin leaned over, "What are you playing?"

"Gobang!" Gongsun took the pieces, "Let me have two!"

The corner of Zhao Pu's mouth twitched, and Gongsun said, let alone give up two, let's give up five!

Gongsun placed the chess pieces and began to fight Zhao Pu.Speaking of it, Gongsun's wisdom should never lose to Zhao Pu, but wisdom and cunning are two different things. Zhao Pu has always played the game of cunning people like chess best. Gongsun is weak because he is really anxious to lose. There is no way to break the pieces apart.So, after about three sets, Zhao Pu finally couldn't help pinching Gongsun's cheek and said, "Stupid..."

Gongsun ran away completely, overturned the chessboard, and ran after Zhao Pu.

After the fourth son finished his snacks, he waved to Xiao Liang who was still practicing kung fu and studying art of war every day, "Little Liang son, shall we play chess?"

Xiao Liang ran over with a smile, "Okay."

The fourth son set up the chessboard, and set up chess pieces with Xiao Liang.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were turned dizzy by the four of them.

Zhan Zhao grabbed Yin Hou's sleeve, "Grandpa, stop making trouble, are you dizzy?"

"I'm not making trouble, this old ghost is chasing me!" Yin Hou curled his lips at Tianzun, "You are an old man, you have been chasing me all over the street for so many years, you are shameless!"

Tianzun was so angry that he almost drew his sword, Bai Yutang hurriedly stopped him, thinking that his master was the same, and usually Taishan collapsed in front of him, but he never changed his face, and his half-dead temperament carried through to the end, even with Yin Hou, he started to quarrel within three sentences, If you can't agree, do it.

Over there, Gongsun pinched Zhao Pu on the ground and strangled his neck. Zhao Pu took advantage of the opportunity and was very happy to be strangled.

Finally, the four of them became quiet. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang turned to look at Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang who were "fiercely fighting"... They were also speechless for a while.It turned out that no matter how many chess pieces Xiao Liang placed, as long as the little four pieces didn’t find out, he would not win. In the end, the little four pieces set up a kitten and puppy on the chessboard, and even said they wanted to set a panda, Xiao Liang would only look serious. He praised, "Jin'er is smart and dexterous!"

Coaxed the fourth child to smile sweeter than the bowl of white fungus and red date soup just now.

Zhan Zhao couldn't stand it anymore, shook his head and leaned against the railing, and saw a familiar figure standing on the pier in front of him, waving at them.

"Isn't this Hong Hou!" Zhan Zhao also waved to him.

"Brother Zhan, Brother Bai! Grandpa!" Standing on a wooden stake beside the pier, Hong Hou kept waving his hands with amazing balance.

Yin Hou came to the side of the boat, "Isn't this a little monkey, and it has grown a lot taller!"

The boat from Yingxue Palace slowly drove into the fork, and Hong Hou jumped on board, "Brother Zhan, Master asked me to come out and pick you up for lunch."

"Oh..." Zhan Zhao just yelled, and Chen Xing'er jumped out, reaching out to stop Hong Hou, "You red-haired monkey, how can you rob people, my palace master ordered, the young master and the young master's husband are going Yingxue Palace eats lunch."

"It's all at the door of the house, go to Yinhong Village for lunch first, and then go to Yingxue Palace for dinner!"

"Why!" Chen Xing'er refused.

The two were deadlocked.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Yinhou and Tianzun helplessly, what did they mean—the elders should come out and say something!

Yinhou and Tianzun look at the sky together, who can offend those two girls!

In the end, Zhan Zhao had no choice but to ask the fourth son, "Where to go for lunch or dinner? The fourth son has the final say!"

In a word, the fourth son immediately opened his eyes wide and looked left and right, what?

Gongsun squinted at Zhan Zhao—look at how promising you are!But also, at this time, the youngest son has the best idea, and the two adults will not be angry with him.

"Of course I went to Yingxue Palace for dinner."

At this time, a large boat came from the side of the fork in the road, Lu Xueer stood gracefully at the bow, behind her, Bai Xia reached out to greet the two sons, "Zhaozhao, Yutang!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were just about to say hello to their father, when another voice came from the other end, "Yutang, Zhaozhao!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang turned their faces to look over, and saw that it was very lively, Yin Hongzhai's boat was also coming, Yin Lanci was standing on the bow, Zhan Tianxing waved behind him, and greeted Bai Xia, "Dear family!"

Bai Xia jumped up and down, "Dear family, I have good wine here!"

Compared with the mutual love between the two fathers, the two mothers are very close to each other.

Yin Lanci crossed her arms, "Hehe, of course I'm going to Yinhongzhai for lunch. I started preparing three days ago!"

"What's delicious?" Zhan Zhao sounded fresh, prepared it three days ago?How rich would that be?

"Let's save that meal for dinner, it's only been three days!" Lu Xueer was not to be outdone, "I've been here for half a month!"

"One month on my side!"

"I've been here for two months!"

"I've been here for three months!"

……

By the time the bows of the three ships touched each other, the two had been arguing for three years and four months.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang supported their foreheads.

Bai Xia and Zhan Tianxing didn't care about these things, they boarded Zhan Zhao's boat and clinked glasses with Yin Hou Tianzun and the others with good wine.

"Mother, stop arguing." Zhan Zhao grabbed Yin Lanci.

"Forget it, it's different where you eat, and if you say that, I prepared the meal before I was born." Bai Yutang pulled Lu Xueer.

"No!" Lu Xueer grabbed Zhan Zhao with one hand, "Go to my mother's house for lunch!"

Not to be outdone, Yin Lanci grabbed Bai Yutang and said, "Go to Mother's place for lunch!"

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were pulled by their sleeves. Looking back, Zhao Pu and the others had already drank a pot, Hong Hou also started to tease Chen Xing'er, and the fourth son and Xiao Liang were still posing on the chessboard. small animals.

Yue Yue'er took a pole and poked at the boats that were blocked in the boat's way, so that they could change their way and continue on.

Those boats managed to bypass the three big ships, and several boat owners complained, "I said that your two families have to block the boat lanes several times a month. Why are you arguing every day? You just love being in the middle of the road..."

Before they finished speaking, the two mothers turned their faces together, staring at each other with almond eyes and raising eyebrows, "Do you have an opinion?!"

"No..." The boatman was so shocked that he quickly shut up and left.

In the end, it was the youngest son who came up with an idea, how about a rock-paper-scissors game between the two mothers, the one who wins will have lunch, and the one who loses will have dinner.

But when this idea first came out, everyone thought it was a good idea, but after Yin Lanci and Lu Xueer continued to scissor the stone for an hour and still couldn't decide the winner, everyone felt that there was something wrong. Thousands of flies buzzed around his head, chanting, "Rock paper scissors, rock paper scissors..."

"Okay, okay." Bai Xia stood up and poked Lu Xue'er, "Look at you, how difficult is it for Yutang Zhaozhao? I'll go to Yinhongzhai for lunch and Yingxue Palace for dinner, it doesn't matter!"

Lu Xueer pouted.

Zhan Tianxing also stood up and poked Yin Lanci, "You too, let them go to Yingxue Palace for lunch, and come back for dinner, isn't it the same? They are all my family."

Yin Lanci also pouted.

Finally, the two fathers began to tug-of-war.

Bai Xia was polite, "Let's go to Yinhong Village first."

Zhan Tianxing was polite, "No, no, let's go to Yingxue Palace first."

"Let's go to Yinhong Village first."

"Go to Yingxue Palace first."

This tug-of-war is another hour.

The two fathers here don't talk up and down like the two mothers. They basically have no tone, and the one tone is polite and soft, so everyone feels that there are ten thousand mosquitoes whistling past, buzzing and buzzing. hum...

Finally, the fourth son shook his head and said, "I'm dizzy!"

The ships behind were blocked for a few miles, and several officials in charge of shipping anxiously bowed to Lu Xueer and Yin Lanci, "You two heroines, you two are blocking the road every day and arguing like this will kill you! Xiaguan still has a family to support, so show your hands high!"

"Otherwise." Xiao Liang gave an idea, "Today, go to Yingxue Palace first, go to Yinhong Village at night, and spend the night in Yinhong Village by the way. Tomorrow, I will have lunch and dinner at Yinhong Village during the day Go to Yingxue Palace and spend the night at Yingxue Palace..."

Everyone raised their faces together and made the final decision—a good idea!

The fourth son patted Xiao Liang, "Little Liangzi is so smart!"

Xiao Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he just didn't understand, what's there to argue about, we've been arguing for two hours...

When they arrived at Yingxue Palace for dinner, Yin Lanci suddenly remembered something and proposed marriage to Lu Xueer, "Give your Chen Xing'er to my Honghou."

Chen Xing'er pouted, "Who wants to marry that monkey." After speaking, she blushed and ran away.

Yue Ya'er kept on winking at Lu Xue'er, which meant—it was done!

So, another happy event came to an end, and Hong Hou happily planned how to make Chen Xing'er, who was already round and beautiful, fatter again.

In fact, Chen Xing'er is not the only one who wants to gain weight, everyone has goals.

For example, when Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, he thought he was skinny, and this cat was also strange. He was reincarnated as a foodie, and loved to eat basically everything, but he just couldn't get fat.

In the same way, Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang as thin as he looked at. This mouse doesn't eat or eat vegetables at all, and has no desire for food at all, so it's strange if he isn't thin.

As a result, the process of eating has become a process of interlocking each other, trying to pile up the other side's bowl very full.

Yin Lanci gave Zhan Tianxing food while winking - the relationship between the two is very good!

While scooping up Bai Xia's soup, Lu Xue'er winked at the same time - I know it hurts!

Zhan Tianxing and Bai Xia were so focused on stuffing their daughter-in-law's mouths that they didn't remember arguing.

Gongsun's family is even more funny.

Zhao Pu felt that Gongsun was too skinny for a long time, so he stuffed him with food.Gongsun stuffed his own mouth full, and stuffed food into the mouth of the fourth son, and greeted people by the way, and served Zhao Pu with food.

As soon as Zhao Pu put down the bowl, Gongsun saw it and immediately waved, "Put rice!"

In the end, Zhao Pu stared at Gongsun at the never-ending rice bowl, "You really treat me like a rice bucket?!"

Gongsun looked surprised, "But Ouyang and the others clearly said that you are the number one idiot in the Western Regions!"

Zhao Puqi's nose was crooked.

Frontier Fortress, Ouyang, Zou Liang, Qiao Guang, and He Yihang are having a dinner party. Too much pepper is put on the barbecue, and they sneeze while eating.

Zhao Pu slandered his group of men who didn't give him face, and dragged Xiao Lianglai who was trying to stuff food for the fourth son, and stuffed a few mouthfuls, talking nonsense, "Eat more, you're an attacker!" They're all rice buckets."

In a word, I heard a "pop" from the back, and Ziying's tea was sprayed out. Looking at the pile of food in her bowl, and looking at the small half of Zheying's bowl, Ziying leaned over to ask, holding the rice bowl. Zhao Pu, "Really?!"

Zhe Ying snatched him back, "Don't learn such nonsense!"

After everyone's hard work, during the more than half a month in Yingxue Palace and Yinhong Village, everyone really gained some weight. Afterwards, they bid farewell to the two mothers who waved their handkerchiefs and their father who continued to be polite. Go to the empty island.

When they got to the island, they divided into two groups. Zhao Pu's family left Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang and went back to Xiaoyao Island. The two of them will spend their time on the island until the spring of next year before returning to Kaifeng Mansion. Whether they want to go back at that time can be discussed later.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went to Xingkong Island. Tianzun and Yin Hou originally went with them, but halfway, Yin Hou said that they were going back to Tianmo Palace. General Assembly.As soon as Tianzun heard that he was interested, Pidiandian also followed, and went to Tianmo Palace to eat and drink.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang returned to Xingkong Island alone.

But I found no one on the island...

"Eh?" Bai Yutang turned back and forth, only a few servants were left on the empty island, and the other brothers and sisters-in-law were not there.

"Fifth Lord, Mr. Zhan, are you back?" Bai Fu greeted him.

"Where's my elder brother?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.

"Hi!" Bai Fu waved his hand, "Fifth Master, don't mention it, since you bought up all the fish in the nearby ten miles and eight villages, the island hasn't eaten seafood for a month, and Third Master has become irritable. Did the whole family go out to eat fish?"

Zhan Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, Bai Yutang really killed all the fish in the empty island!

"Where did they go to eat fish?" Bai Yutang was curious.

"Changzhou Mansion."

Zhan Zhao heard, "Isn't Changzhou my hometown?"

"That's not true." Bai Fu nodded, "Uncle Zhan Hao invited his family to stay in Changzhou for a few days."

Zhan Zhao was pleasantly surprised, "Is that so..."

"Why don't we go too? Take a tour by the way"

"Where are you traveling?" Zhan Zhao asked with a smile.

"Well, Luoyang, Guilin, Qinhuai, Jiangnan, famous mountains and rivers in the north and south, there are always good places to go, isn't it?"

When the two looked at each other, Bai Fu had silently helped to lead the two horses into the boat, and said in his heart, let's go, you two, if you get tired, the bees will come.

……

Kaifeng Mansion a year later.

Bao Zheng looked at the gifts piled high on the table, yawned and asked Bao Yan, "Where are Zhan Huwei and Bai Shaoxia?"

"I don't know, the gift was sent from Yunnan. I guess I've played in Dali." Bao Yan opened the bag that was designated for Mr. Bao, "Look, Daddy!"

Bao Zheng took it over and took a look, puzzled, "What is this? Lotus root noodles?"

"Pearl powder, the one who wiped your face said it would be white!"

The corner of Bao Zheng's mouth twitched.

Pang Ji, who came to eat dinner, laughed. Pang Yu unwrapped the gift for his father and handed it to Grand Master Pang, "Daddy, this is for you."

"What is this?" Grand Master Pang took a Pu'er noodle cake and nodded, "Oh! I know I like drinking tea?"

"It's Pu'er." Pang Yu pointed to what was written on the letter, "It's about losing weight!"

The Grand Master and Bao Zheng looked at each other—these two little bastards!

In the palace, Zhao Pu and Concubine Pang gnawed on the cloud-legged mooncake that Zhao Pu sent to them from Yunnan, and watched Xiangxiang and the little prince playing hide-and-seek on the ground, not sure if it was because the first thing they saw was Xiaosi Son, this little prince is chubby and chubby, no matter how you look at it, he is a small version of the fourth son, really pleasing.

"By the way." Concubine Pang asked Zhao Zhen, "Your Majesty, haven't Zhan Huwei and Bai Shaoxia been back to Kaifeng for a long time? Mr. Gongsun and the prince haven't been back for a long time either."

Zhao Pu sighed, "That's right, now the civil servants of Kaifeng Mansion are supported by Bao Yan and Pang Yu, and the military officers are Yue Yang, Tang Shitou, and Xie Bai."

"That means we won't be able to see the four of them?" Concubine Pang seemed quite lonely, "I really miss the fourth son."

Zhao Zhen was also quite bored. At this moment, Chen Banban ran in from outside, "Your Majesty, it is said that a bizarre murder has occurred!"

Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up, and he sat up abruptly, "Then..."

Chen Banban smiled knowingly, "Master Bao wrote a letter a long time ago, saying that the guards of Minger's solo exhibition, Young Master Bai, and the prince and his family will all return to Kaifeng!"

As soon as Zhao Zhen was happy, he heard a "gudong"...Xiang'er, who was dozing on top of him, fell off him onto the bed, rubbing her head and looking at her father in puzzlement.

Concubine Pang patted her son and looked at Zhao Zhen curiously, "Your Majesty, what is so happy? Did you wake up laughing?"

Only then did Zhao Zhen realize that it was a dream!

"Alas..." Zhao Zhen sighed dumbfoundedly, shook his head, and picked up the booklet that he had read halfway through on the table—is it the so-called thinking day by day and dreaming at night? He didn't know that he was missing the four freedoms Free people still envy their free life.

"emperor."

Outside, Chen Banban ran in, "A strange case happened near Kaifeng."

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Well, leave it to Bao Qing."

"Your Majesty." Chen Banban tentatively asked, "Do you want to call Zhan to escort them back to Kaifeng?"

Zhao Zhen put down the memorial, smiled and shook his head for a long time.

Chen Banban turned around and went out.

Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand to pick up Xiangxiang who was helping him grind ink, walked to the window sill to look at the luxuriant crabapple blooming in the imperial garden, smiled and said to the little girl in his arms, "When you grow up, the emperor will Find you a leisurely cloud and wild crane that you like, and then, you go out and fly freely, such a day is better than anything else!"
