[Zhan Zhaotongren] Hongchen

"Miss, Mr. Zhan is waiting for you outside." Xiaolan pushed Su Xiaoxiao twice, and said cautiously.

"Oh," Su Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and continued to argue with Duke Zhou, "What time is it?"

"It's almost Chen's hour." Xiao Lan said while standing beside the bed.

Su Xiaoxiao snorted, but there was no movement. She slept very late the night before, and after thinking about it all night, she still couldn't figure out what Zhan Zhao had said to her father.

However, when he sent Zhan Zhao out later, he told her that the adults said, let us go to Sichuan after the new year, this case involves a lot, so you have to be careful.

What he meant was, can she follow?Or, this is what Bao Zheng meant, he just conveyed it.

In short, for unknown reasons, she was allowed to leave the gate of the Liu family, but... But, what did Zhan Zhao tell her father?Su Xiaoxiao frowned lightly and rubbed herself under the quilt, but she still couldn't think of...

"Miss..." Xiaolan looked at her own lady after protracting the end of her voice, "Master Zhan has been waiting for a long time, let the master know that you should be scolded again."

Climbing out of the quilt in winter is a very painful thing. Su Xiaoxiao finished her work after several times of urging and struggling, and then handed a written letter to Xiaolan, "I won't give it to my father. Mother bids farewell, when father wakes up, you give this letter to him, take good care of my mother for me, and I will ask her to adopt you as a goddaughter later, and then I will find you a good family."

"Miss..." Xiaolan's eyes turned red, and she looked at Su Xiaoxiao's teasing eyes and said, "Xiaolan doesn't want any good people, why don't you take Xiaolan with you, there are people to serve you on the way."

"Don't be stupid," Su Xiaoxiao patted Xiaolan's head, "You can help me take care of my mother at home, I am even more worried when she is alone at home, take good care of her, and take care of myself, I will soon I'm back."

She didn't let her mother give it to her because she was afraid of seeing tears, and now this girl made her feel sad again, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly laughed and picked up the little bag and left, the sorrow of parting is not suitable for her...

In the early morning, the mist in the south of the Yangtze River, the courtyard and the corridor were very quiet all the way, and there was no one there. When she walked to the gate, she couldn't help but look back. The indifference of her parents is still there.

Going out of the side door, Su Xiaoxiao saw Zhan Zhao standing in the mist in a blue shirt. He was so cold and dusty, but it was nothing more than that. Coupled with Zhan Zhao's gentle but inaccessible temperament, it was a perfect match, like a dream.

"Let's go." Seeing Su Xiaoxiao coming out, Zhan Zhao took the package from her hand and put it on the carriage, "Come with me to a place first, and then we'll go back to Kaifeng Mansion."

"Oh." Nodding, he walked halfway around the carriage.

Zhan Zhao was driving the carriage, and Su Xiaoxiao was sitting next to him. The carriage was not too big or elegant, but the one pulling the carriage was actually Zhuiyue.

Fresh, when did this horse have such a good temper?Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help being surprised, the little bit of sleepiness that was left just now was gone.

Because of the Chinese New Year, there were no people on the street. When they arrived at the gate of the city, they saw the soldiers guarding the city struggling to open the gate. The people who left the city were in twos and threes. Get off their carriage.

"That..." Su Xiaoxiao couldn't hold back, "Zhan Zhao, what did you say to my father yesterday?"

"I didn't say anything." Zhan Zhao looked at the road ahead without turning his head.

No wonder, Su Xiaoxiao curled her lips, and didn't say anything that her father could let her out so happily?

"Well, I..." The atmosphere was a bit cold. Su Xiaoxiao still wanted to find some topics to talk about because it was not easy to get too cold in winter, but when she turned her head and saw Zhan Zhao's expression, she gave up completely. This guy is so focused on driving. Have no distractions! !

All the way without distinction, Su Xiaoxiao was silent and could only sit beside Zhan Zhao and yawn. Originally, she wanted to hide in the carriage and go to sleep. It's not good to just fish it out and throw him outside alone.

In fact, Zhan Zhao felt that what he said to Liu Yuanwai was not good for Xiao Xiaoxiao. After all, it was between men, and he didn't want to make Xiao Xiao think too much because of those words. He is not very good at talking. So, even though she knew she might be upset, she didn't know how to explain it.

In the desolate suburbs south of Hangzhou Fucheng, there is a green bamboo forest with a radius of hundreds of miles. A small road leading to the main road winds into this lush bamboo forest.

Few people come here, and even fewer people will step onto the path and enter this bamboo forest. At this moment, Zhan Zhao's carriage is at the turn of the road and path.

Su Xiaoxiao saw a stone standing by the side of the path, with three words "Ghost Bamboo Forest" written on it in ocher.

People are in awe of ghosts and gods, but when Zhan Zhao drove the carriage into the path, Su Xiaoxiao didn't feel scared at all. She looked up at the bamboo leaves that blocked most of the light, and thought, it must be cool and pleasant here in summer.

The bamboos on both sides of the road are dense and dense, and some bamboos have grown as thick as the bowl of the sea. It can be seen that the people living here love bamboo very much.

At the end of the path, there is a row of fences that are waist-high, and the firewood doors are closed. In the courtyard are three houses in the shape of "pin", which are not very delicate and quiet.

Zhan Zhao threw off the rein and jumped off the carriage, gently pushed open the wooden door and walked into the yard, then stood still in front of the door of the room in the middle, and said respectfully, "Master, this apprentice is here to wish you New Year's greetings. "

It turned out to be the master, Su Xiaoxiao also got off the carriage, checked her attire carefully, and then walked into the yard and stood five or six steps away from Zhan Zhao.

"Since you're here, come in." Just as Zhan Zhao finished speaking, a confident voice came from the room.

Zhan Zhao opened the door and walked in, but Su Xiaoxiao stood there without moving. The master and apprentice were reunited, and maybe she didn't want to see outsiders, so she thought she should wait outside. Just thinking of this, the voice asked again One sentence, "Girl, are you standing outside, aren't you cold?"

It was still quite cold, Su Xiaoxiao walked towards the house, since people said, it would be hypocritical for her to stand here again.

The room is not big, and there are not too many things, but it is clean and tidy, and the incense smoke on the table is slowly lingering upwards.

Zhan Zhao was standing on her left facing left respectfully. In the partition on the left, an old man leaning on a soft couch was playing chess on an arhat bed. On the small table on the bed was a chess board, a tea set, and a... …a plate of dim sum.

Su Xiaoxiao stood behind Zhan Zhao and looked at the man. He was dressed in a coarse hexagram shirt. He was tall but not burly. His gray hair made him look a bit like an outsider. Baby face, and a little bit of baby fat...

Su Xiaoxiao has to admit that when God created man, there was indeed a bit of a spoof in it—the outsider suddenly became the grandfather next door.

"Fei'er, master is right. The capital city is indeed a world of flowers and flowers. It's not bad that you kidnapped a daughter-in-law after less than a year." Zhan Zhao's master, Chong Jiu, squinted at his apprentice, then turned his gaze It landed on the person behind him, "Well, yes, you are very brave, when are you going to give birth to a grandson for the master to play?"

The daughter-in-law already made Zhan Zhao a little embarrassed, and when he heard his master say that he had a grandson for fun, Zhan Zhao's face was bloodshot and turned the color of a pig's liver, and he hurriedly stopped him, "Master! That...she... ..."

Chongjiu ignored Zhan Zhao, just asked Su Xiaoxiao with a smile, "Baby, what's your name?"

Su Xiaoxiao thought this person was cute, so she replied with a smile, "My name is Su Xiaoxiao, and another name is Liu Wan'er."

"Xiao Xiao," Chong Jiu nodded, "Can you play chess? Come play a game with the old man."

"I won't," Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Let Zhan Zhao accompany you, and I'll cook for you."

"Oh?" Chong Jiu's eyes lit up when he heard the word "cooking", and then he muttered, "I won't play with him. I haven't won since he was ten years old."

Su Xiaoxiao laughed out loud, she really likes this old man, it's interesting.

The three of them were talking in the room when they heard a boy's voice outside the door saying, "Master, Senior Brother Bai is here to wish you New Year's greetings."

"Him?" Chongjiu glanced at the closed door, then asked Zhan Zhaodao, "Have you discussed it?"

"No," Zhan Zhao said calmly, then turned around and opened the door.

Su Xiaoxiao gave way, and there was a little boy standing outside the door, with lowered eyebrows and bowed head, standing in front of the door, about eleven or twelve years old, a little farther away, the chaifei door was open, and in the courtyard...

She was dressed in white clothes, and there was that white horse... Su Xiaoxiao thought she was wrong, but how far could it go, that person was clearly Bai Yutang!

Could it be Bai Yutang, when he saw the door opened, he flicked the rein in his hand and walked in, passed Zhan Zhao and Su Xiaoxiao, and politely saluted the old man on Luohan's bed, "Master, master let me I came to visit you old man, originally the master wanted to come in person, but my elder brother wanted to keep him on the island for fifteen years, so he sent his apprentice to come."

"Am I very old?" Chongjiu touched Mo's own cheek, a little unhappy, "You and Feier stay and eat before leaving, by the way, you go and cook the meal, and the girl stays with the old man Play chess."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't look at anyone, they turned around and left the house after hearing the order, only Su Xiaoxiao and Zhan Zhao's master Chongjiu were left in the room.

Chong Jiu beckoned to Su Xiaoxiao, then pointed to the position opposite the small table, "Come, play chess with the old man, I will teach you if you don't know how."

Su Xiaoxiao moved forward and saw that there was almost a whole board of black and white chess pieces. She asked hesitantly, "You won't teach me indiscriminately just to win, will you?"

"Haha~~" Chong Jiu was very happy, and after laughing, he said to the closed door, "Song Rong, come in with a plate of dim sum."

Su Xiaoxiao could only sit down obediently. Chong Jiu looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a smile in her eyes.

So Chong Jiu taught Su Xiaoxiao how to play chess while inquiring about Su Xiaoxiao's life, "Girl, how old are you?"

"fifteen."

"Who else is there?"

"Father and mother," Su Xiaoxiao added after thinking about it, "There is also a younger brother who is less than one year old."

"Well, how can your father feel relieved that you will come out with Fei Er? Isn't he worried?"

"Zhan Zhao is honest, my father shouldn't be worried."

"To be honest, he's still a man."

"Uh..." Su Xiaoxiao didn't know how to answer this sentence, so she could only lower her head and ask, "Is this move okay?"

"Okay," Chong Jiu glanced at it, and then asked, "Do you like Feier?"

"It's okay." The two of them said "like" with different meanings, and Su Xiaoxiao felt that it was better for Zhan Zhao to be a friend than a lover.

"Then you still follow him!" Chongjiu looked at Su Xiaoxiao puzzled, if he said he liked it, then he followed him, but saying "it's okay" is not the case at all, the reputation of the daughter's family is important .

"I feel lonely after being alone for a long time," Su Xiaoxiao stared at the chessboard, not knowing whether it was herself or Zhan Zhao.

"Hmm..." Chong Jiu nodded, "Fei'er has been alone since he was a child, and his brothers didn't even get close to him. Afterwards, they became even more boring after following me. None of his senior brothers and sisters wanted to play with him." , that is, Bai Yutang, the two of them have always fought since they were young, but speaking of it, the two of them are actually closer."

Uh~haha... Su Xiaoxiao still can't accept that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are brothers, "How can it be better to fight all the time."

"You don't understand, girl," Chong Jiu said, "Fei'er never fights with others. He is very sensible since he was a child. Yutang's child is even more arrogant. Let alone fighting, my junior brother He doesn't even have to look directly at those apprentices, let alone fight with them, so it's not easy for the two of them to fight."

"Oh," Su Xiaoxiao nodded, "Who wins the most?"

"Basically, if Feier wins, Yutang will definitely win back the next day," Chong Jiu sighed, "If we hadn't come up with such a way, Feier and Yutang wouldn't know how to fight." When will it be?"

"The idea you came up with must be a good idea," Su Xiaoxiao flattered, thinking that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had a grudge because of cats and mice, and it turned out that the co-authorship had a deeper relationship.

"Hey..." Chongjiu said happily, "I made a bet with Yutang's master. Whoever loses three games in a row will have his apprentice become an official in the court. We are all indifferent to fame and fortune. It's natural to be an official or something." It's a punishment. Fei'er and Yutang have always been competitive since they were young, so it's good for both of them to keep them separated."

"Oh," Su Xiaoxiao nodded, thinking in her heart, this idea must have come from Bai Yutang's master.

"So, misfortune is where good fortune rests, and good fortune is where misfortune rests." Chong Jiu said without blushing at all, "If Feier didn't go to the capital, how could he meet you, isn't she a girl?"

"Hehe..." Su Xiaoxiao was completely speechless, this old man is really good, he has exported all his apprentices, and it is only natural that he can still lose.
