[Rat cat] Jade Xu Luo Qianqiu

That night, Bai Yutang lived comfortably, but the heavy two were very entangled.

backyard.

Chong Suchen stood in front of Bai Fengche with his hands behind his back, looking up at the crescent moon in the sky, insects chirping softly, and the night wind blowing gently.After a while, Chong Chong Suchen lowered his head, turned around and said to Bai Fengche, "I vaguely heard you call me 'Your Majesty' before Wangling fell into a coma. How much do you... know?"

"..." Bai Fengche froze for a moment, and then explained everything in detail.While listening, Chong Suchen frowned slowly following Bai Fengche's words.

"According to what you said, the reason why I became what I am now is because I am going through life and death?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Then...you help me search for a person named Mu Yunfeng and find his... bones." Chong Suchen slightly closed his eyes, against the moonlight, making it difficult to see the expression on his face at this time.The Green Snake's words were still in his ears, and he had to wonder whether that person really had the bones of his senior brother...

"...As ordered."

Chong Suchen watched Bai Fengche's clothes disappear around the corner, and said to Shen Jingtong who came behind him at some time: "...you heard it all?"

"Yes." Shen Jingtong replied, then paused, "Ah Chen..."

"...In that case, let's separate for a while."

"Ah Chen!" Shen Jingtong turned pale with shock, stepped forward and stretched out her hands to hold Chong Suchen's shoulders tightly, and pulled his body forcefully so that he was facing her.

"Life and death, I don't know life and death. If you can't get over it, the body and death will disappear. If you get through it, I... will go find you again." Chong Suchen's voice was very soft and calm, without any emotion, as if to say It is not himself.

Shen Jingtong listened, and her subordinates couldn't help pinching Chong Suchen's shoulders, almost crushing the shoulder blades.He closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time, then slowly opened his eyes, let go of the hand that was clamping Chong Suchen, and embraced him gently in his arms.He looked straight into the eyes of the person in his arms, and his tone was decisive, "...Ah Chen, no matter how long, I will wait for you." Therefore, you must not want to leave me alone in the world...

The words of youth are always submerged in the torrent with the passage of time, and none of them expected that this parting is almost forever.

The next day.

"Ah——! Bai Yutang, how do you want me to see people!" The exclamation in the morning startled the birds on the tree, and the white birds flew into the sky with a clatter.

When Zhan Zhao woke up, he was ready to get dressed with his arms aching, but he didn't expect that he just passed the bronze mirror and glanced at it casually, which almost scared him.Zhan Zhao doesn't want to care about the hickeys on his neck anymore, what he's mad about now is—why did he become a demon? !Although he didn't know why, he had a deep intuition that this situation had something to do with Bai Yutang!

Hearing Zhan Zhao's exclamation, Bai Yutang thought something had happened, hurried up the stairs with a tray in one hand, pushed open the door and entered the room.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhan Zhao, who was only wearing his underwear, sitting in front of the bronze mirror in a daze. When he saw himself coming in, he said listlessly, "... Yutang."

"Cat, you..." What's wrong?After seeing Zhan Zhao's situation, Bai Yutang swallowed the last three words automatically.What's the situation now... Pointy cat ears are hidden in Zhan Zhao's thick black hair, golden vertical pupils are full of dissatisfaction, and... a fluffy black tail is dangling behind him.

"Cat, cat?!" Bai Yutang felt the urge to have a nosebleed again. "Cat, why did you become like this?" Putting down the tray and walking over, when he got closer, he found that Zhan Zhao's mouth had also grown small fangs, and the nails on his hands had also become sharp. It was really a cat's. appearance.

Zhan Zhao glared at Bai Yutang dejectedly, "How do I know? Meow~!" He quickly stretched out his hands to cover his mouth, it was too embarrassing, why did "meow" come out as soon as he said it!

"...you go eat the porridge first, I'll go find that fox and have a look." Bai Yutang said, but he took two steps closer and rubbed Zhan Zhao's cat ears, feeling good. So desperately reached out and touched the cat's tail.Anyone with a little common sense knows...a cat's tail can't be touched... So Zhan Zhao lives up to everyone's expectations with a "meow!", and his fur explodes, almost scribing two paws on Bai Yutang's handsome face.

"Bai Yutang! Have you touched enough? Believe it or not, Master Zhan scratched you!" Zhan Zhao was already in a depressed mood, but now that Bai Yutang made such a fuss, he immediately puffed out his beard and stared at the cat's eyes, puffed up his cheeks and sat on his buttocks. I drank porridge on the chair.

"Uh..." Bai Yutang rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and was about to take two more steps, but when he saw Zhan Zhao waving his paw in front of him in a demonstrative manner, he stopped walking immediately, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said He said, "Cat, be careful the porridge is hot." Then he turned and went out to find the fox.

When Bai Yutang brought Bai Fengche into the door, Zhan Zhao had just finished his last mouthful of fish porridge, and licked the corner of his mouth contentedly. He was obviously in a much better mood, and he was no longer the dejected and listless look just now.

When Bai Fengche came in, he turned a blind eye to the strange atmosphere in the room. He only turned his eyes around Zhan Zhao's face twice, and then said, "Did you have sex last night?" Zhan Zhao, who was drinking tea, choked.

"Cough, cough..." Zhan Zhao coughed with his face flushed, this flushed face, cough, was half ashamed and half out of breath.Bai Yutang walked over quickly, put his hands on Zhan Zhao's back, patted him lightly, and nodded cheekily at Bai Fengche as he answered.

"...That's right. The seal on Zhan Zhao's body is not very stable. If you make such a fuss, the seal will be loosened, and it will naturally become the current monster."

"...Can it change back?" The golden vertical pupils were full of hope.

"...I can't," Bai Fengche said after carefully inspecting the seal on Zhan Zhao's body, which almost scared Zhan Zhao to death, but the next sentence pulled him back from the abyss of hell , "But... you can change back to your original form, and then turn back into a human form after the seal is automatically repaired, otherwise, you can only maintain this demonized form until the seal is repaired."

"...Then please brother Bai teach Zhan how to transform into its original form." Zhan Zhao said that turning into a cat is better than the demonized form now; however, Bai Yutang expressed that it's a pity that the cat's appearance is so evil Well, cat ears and cat tails couldn't be better.But after thinking about it, it's not bad for the cat to change back to its original shape. It can be held in my arms all the time so as not to be carried away by others, so I feel better again.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone went on their own way.Bai Yutang hired a carriage, carried two bundles on his back, carried the Juque and Huaying, and held a black cat in his arms but with bright golden eyes, and set foot on the journey back to his hometown in Jinhua.

"Yutang, what did your elder brother say in the letter? Why did you have a weird face after receiving the letter?" Zhan Zhaowo rolled over comfortably in Bai Yutang's arms, yawned, and his eyes were sleepy. hazy.

"...It's okay, just tell me to go home and have a look." Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to tease Sao Zhanzhao's chin, then rubbed his ears, until Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes comfortably.

Bai Yutang comforted Zhan Zhao, but his heart kept sinking.A few days ago, I received a letter from Bai Jintang, the letter only said to let me go back to my hometown in Jinhua, I didn't take it to heart.However, just two days after Bai Jintang's letter arrived, a letter from the sister-in-law of Trapped Sky Island arrived, saying that Bai Jintang did not agree with the matter between himself and Zhan Zhao.

Both of Bai Yutang's parents died when he was young, and Bai Jintang single-handedly brought him up, so he also respects this elder brother very much, but if he wants to separate from Zhan Zhao because of this, it is absolutely impossible.

Thinking of this, Bai Yutang's expression darkened again.Forget it, the soldiers come to block, the water comes to cover, I have taken care of the empty island and the godmother, can't I still convince the eldest brother? !

He lowered his head and saw that Zhan Zhao was still looking at him, his golden pupils did not hide his worry, he smiled slightly, reached out and touched Zhan Zhao's head, "Cat, remember not to speak out in front of others in the future, it will scare you." dead person's."

"...I forgot, but I called meow, Yutang, do you understand me?"

"……Can't understand"

"..."

Jinhua Baijia.

When he was about to enter the Jinhua territory, the seal on Zhan Zhao's body was finally repaired automatically, and Zhan Zhao returned to human form as he wished.Bai Yutang watched from the side, expressing that he was really not used to having a cat in his arms.

When I returned to Bai's house, it was early winter, snowflakes were flying, the north wind was howling, and the wind blew on my face like a knife.Bai Yutang hopped off the carriage, rubbing his hands while breathing in the heat, and pulled Zhan Zhao into the door together.

"Yutang, you're back." A calm and peaceful voice came, and Zhan Zhao looked up, and his gaze was right on the owner of the voice. The man was wearing a white fox fur, and his face was seventy percent similar to Bai Yutang's, very handsome , although he is only slightly older than Bai Yutang, he is much calmer and more serious. He presumably is Bai Yutang's eldest brother, Bai Jintang.

When Bai Yutang saw the person coming, he grinned and said, "Brother."

Bai Jintang's eyes turned around Zhan Zhao's body twice, his expression was so calm that he was a bit bluffing, and when he turned his head and saw Bai Yutang shivering from the cold, he smiled, "It's cold outside, let's go in if you have anything to say." After finishing speaking , lead the way into the hall first.

Zhan Zhao felt apprehensive at Bai Jintang's gaze, like a rabbit, and felt that this visit to the Bai family was not easy.

The guests and hosts are seated, and the family banquet is full of common dishes, but they are exquisitely prepared.Bai Yutang picked up a piece of fish, carefully picked out the bones and put it into Zhan Zhao's bowl, "Cat, this fish is very sweet, try it." He didn't care about the jaws of the servants around him about to drop to the ground situation.My God, when did Er Ye learn to take care of people?

Zhan Zhao saw that Bai Jintang's complexion was getting darker and darker with Bai Yutang's more and more outrageous actions, so he quickly pinched Bai Yutang's thigh under the cover of the tablecloth, signaling him to restrain himself.The force was so great that it only made Bai Yutang tremble in pain, and his expression changed.Ahhh, the thighs must be bruised, why is the cat so cruel...

Bai Yutang was taught a lesson, and under Zhan Zhao's disapproving and threatening eyes, he finally curled his lips and stopped this act of showing singleness and blood all over his face.

Bai Jintang glared at Bai Yutang indiscriminately, picked up his chopsticks to pick up vegetables again, and pretended not to care while picking up vegetables, "I heard Mr. Zhan hasn't married yet?"

"Yes, Zhan is busy with official duties all day long, and lives a life of licking blood. He really doesn't want to marry prematurely and wrong the girl." Zhan Zhao smiled a little shyly, and used the excuse he used to refuse the matchmaker.

Listening to Bai Jintang's question, Bai Yutang shook his hand, and the chicken he picked up almost fell back into the plate again.Hearing Zhan Zhao's impeccable answer again, he let go of his concern a little, but his complexion began to darken.

"Master Zhan's dedication to serving the country and the people is really admirable, but such a handsome young man is too wronged to have a family. How can he miss the important event of starting a family because of official duties? This matter of passing on the family can't be sloppy! "As Bai Jintang said, he deliberately bit down on the pronunciation of the word "inheritance of the family", and as expected, he saw Zhan Zhao's body froze and his face turned pale.

Pretending not to see Zhan Zhao's pale face, and not giving him time to answer, Bai Jintang continued: "I also know a lot of ladies who are knowledgeable, sensible, and understanding, and Bai can't bear to see Mr. Zhan alone, Why don't you let Bai be the master and hold the red line for Mr. Zhan?"

Fang Xixi, who was at the side, frowned when she heard her husband's words getting more and more wrong, and wanted to pull Bai Jintang's sleeve to remind him.Unexpectedly, before he made a move, Bai Yutang's face was already sinking, and he put the chopsticks back to the original place with a black face, and the sound made Bai Yunsheng who was sitting beside him jumped.

"Brother, don't you think you're taking too much control?" In his deep voice was suppressed anger, Bai Yutang glanced at the people at the table, and he was glad that all the servants were sent out by Bai Jintang just now, otherwise he wouldn't know What will happen tomorrow.Frowning, ignoring what the people at the table thought, he just said "I'm full, brother and sister-in-law take your time.", pulled Zhan Zhao up and walked out of the hall.

"Yutang!" Bai Jintang was also angry, and slammed his chopsticks on the table.Originally, he wanted to reprimand him, but his wife pulled his sleeves. Bai Jintang also said that he had lost his composure. He took a deep breath, calmed down the rising anger in his heart, and said in a fairly normal tone: "Yutang , come to my room tonight."

Bai Yutang paused as he walked out, nodded his head, and accepted it.

Seeing Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao disappear from sight, Bai Jintang sighed heavily, his brows knit together.Bai Yutang was brought up by him, but he was only three years older than Bai Yutang, how could his personality be so different... He put his hand on his forehead, looking tired and tired.

Seeing this, Fang Xixi came over and reached out to gently rub Bai Jintang's temples, and said softly, "... Husband, what's wrong with you? Isn't it good that Yutang came back, why...?" Fang Xixi, who has always been considerate, could not see Out of the wrong between the brothers.

"...Yunsheng, you go out to play first, Dad has something to say to your mother alone."

Bai Yunsheng put his fleshy fingers under his lips, looked at Bai Jintang, then at Fang Xixi, finally nodded obediently, and left the hall.

Where should I go?Are you looking for the second uncle, that blue-clothed brother seems to be there... However, the second uncle's face was so ugly just now, so it's better not to provoke him, then I... Ah, yes, I can go and play with the housekeeper uncle!Having figured it out, Bai Yunsheng grinned, and went to look for the housekeeper, Bai An.

Seeing that Bai Yunsheng had gone out, Bai Yutang sighed, his eyes were heavy, and he said in a hoarse voice: "It's really a crime." He told the things about Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao intermittently.Fang Xixi was also taken aback after hearing this, she kept twisting the handkerchief in her hand, obviously she had no good idea.

night.

"Yutang, are you going out?"

"Yes, cat, don't wait for me, go to rest earlier." Seeing the worry in Zhan Zhao's eyes, Bai Yutang smiled, "Don't worry, what can my elder brother do to me?"

"Yutang...I..."

"Cat, don't worry, I can handle it well, trust me." Bai Yutang hugged Zhan Zhao in his arms, kissed the corner of his mouth, then let go and went out.

Bai Jintang's room.

"Yutang, are you really determined to be with Zhan Zhao?"

"That's right, I've made up my mind, big brother, don't try to persuade me anymore." Put Yutang's face was resolute, unmoved by Bai Jintang's words in the slightest.

"Yutang, you're still young, so why isn't this just a moment of your youthful and frivolous absurdity?" Bai Jintang felt a little helpless, this younger brother was too stubborn, he was so stubborn, it was too worrying, "Besides, if parents spring I know, would they be happy to see you do this?! Being entangled with a man, what do you think they would think?!"

"Brother, I have grown up, don't treat me like a child anymore! I am sincere to Mao'er, we are in love with each other, this is by no means a temporary absurdity, I still have this point of judgment! As for my parents, I believe they will be very happy to see that I can spend my whole life with the one I love." Bai Yutang frowned and argued hard.

"You——! You——!" Bai Jintang was so angry that he couldn't form a sentence. He pointed at Bai Yutang with trembling fingers, his chest heaving and falling, obviously angry.Bai Jintang took several deep breaths, calmed himself down for a while, and said, "Yutang, you and Zhan Zhao are together, do you know how your reputation will be ruined?! Maybe you and Zhan Zhao don't care about other people's opinions. What about our Bai family, and the Kaifeng mansion behind Zhan Zhao?"

Bai Jintang's words were exactly what Bai Yutang had been thinking all along. He and Zhan Zhao really didn't care about their own reputations, but if the reputation of Kaifeng Mansion was damaged, Zhan Zhao would definitely blame himself.He and Zhan Zhao want to be together without any worries, so they can only wait for Zhan Zhao to leave Kaifeng Mansion, but the possibility of this is almost zero...

Seeing that Bai Yutang was silent, Bai Jintang knew what was going on in his heart, and his tone softened, "Yutang, elder brother is not forcing you to make a decision now. Elder brother will give you two years to think it over clearly. If you decide to be with Zhan Zhao, then Eldest Brother has nothing to say and no objection, how about it?"

Hearing this, Bai Yutang was overjoyed, and put aside all his worries just now. The world is big and the world is big, let’s get the family settled first, and was about to reply with a smile, but Bai Jintang continued: "But before that, you first give I will kneel in front of the ancestral hall for three hours, and reflect on my ancestors!"

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and pushed the door out in response, apparently in a good mood.Compared to being able to deal with big brother, going to the ancestral hall to kneel for three hours is too easy, but this day... hah, it's so cold, I have to ask the cat to bring me some clothes.

Guessing that Bai Yutang had left, Fang Xixi came out from the room, took a coat and put it on Bai Jintang, and said softly, "Husband, since they are in love with each other, I see that Zhan Zhao is also a good boy, why don't you just agree?" Let them be together? If we talk about passing on the family line, our Bai family already has Yun Sheng, and as for Zhan Zhao...we have heard a little about the Zhan family in Changzhou, so Zhan Zhao probably doesn't need to care about such things."

Bai Jintang shook Shang Xixi's hand, and sighed, "Xixi, Yutang is the one I look up to, don't I know that this time he is sincere... It's not because I'm cruel not to let them be together, to be honest , I am actually very satisfied with Zhan Zhao, after all, there are not many people who can make Yutang obedient and agreeable."

"It's just... well, I've said it before, people's words are awesome, they are still young, how can they know how uncomfortable it is to be poked at the spine every day? How can I bear to let them live like this?"

"Besides, they are swearing so much now, but who can guarantee the future? Kaifeng Mansion is Zhan Zhao's weakness. Who knows if Zhan Zhao will choose to let go in order to keep the name of Kaifeng Mansion? Isn't it Yutang who is so sad?"

"Then why did you still agree to Yutang's two-year agreement?"

"...I just hope that Yutang can sharpen his temper and see clearly in the past two years. If they can still be consistent after two years, can I still let Yutang be a bachelor for the rest of his life...?"
