Kaifeng House Small Dining Table

"Hey, have you heard that the champion of martial arts hand-picked by the Holy One today is called Bai Yutang!" Zhao Hu came back from outside excitedly.

"Which Bai Yutang, but the Bai Yutang we know?" Wang Chao couldn't believe it, "But I chased the thief together with him last night, and I didn't go to sleep until after midnight, so it's unlikely."

"I also think it's impossible. If he wants to participate in the martial arts, he will say such a big thing. It's a coincidence that the name of Wu Zhuangyuan is the same as Bai Shaoxia. Then this martial arts champion should not come to our Kaifeng mansion for business." , otherwise the two Bai Yutangs wouldn't know how to call them." Zhao Hu laughed.

"Dabai and Xiaobai? I guess Wu Zhuangyuan is probably older than Bai Shaoxia, so he will be 'Xiaobai' from now on." Ma Han pondered.

Zhao Hu and Wang Chao spouted tea at the same time when they heard the words.

"If you dare, you can call, we all want to hear it."

Ma Han shrank his neck and quickly shook his head to express that he didn't dare.

"But when it comes to children, I suddenly thought of Little Cook." Zhao Hu sighed and rubbed his stomach with his hands, "After all, he has been away for almost a year. How could he be so cruel and not even have any news."

"Maybe he is going to take the imperial examination. Before that, he had to study hard, but now he has to work hard for the imperial examination." Wang Chao comforted, "So there is no time to contact us."

"If a person is in the capital, there is always time to write a letter." Ma Han said, "Unless he can't help himself, but I can't think of any reason why he can't help himself. After thinking about it, it's just complaining, blaming him Unfeeling, don't miss us."

"Oh, forget it." Wang Chao patted Ma Han on the shoulder, telling him not to be too sad. It has been a year since the incident, and they still couldn't help talking about the little cook from time to time, and they didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Alas!" Ma Han sighed, rubbing his stomach again, "The old cook from the small kitchen is a nice person, smiling all day long, but his cooking skills are a bit poor. And there are only a few dishes every day, Doing it back and forth, I'm already tired of eating. I also blame the little cook for cooking so delicious food, otherwise we might not be thinking about him so frequently."

"It turns out that you are greedy for their stuttering! No wonder the little cook is gone, what are you doing raising your pig here." Ma Han joked, and Zhao Hu immediately chased after him.

In the evening, Zhao Hu and the four of them found an excuse to drink together and called Zhan Zhao.I wanted to wait for Bai Yutang too, but after waiting for a long time, no one else came back, and I didn't know where he went, so I just didn't wait, and the few of them drank happily under the plane tree in the small kitchen.

Wang Chao ate a piece of crispy fried meat and lamented that the taste was not enough, "The dishes in Zhuangyuanlou always feel that they are not as delicious as before."

Zhan Zhao remembered something, got up and went to the kitchen, and after a while brought a plate of sour pear sauce for Wang Chao to dip into.This dipping, the crispy fried meat is wrapped in the sour sauce, which really relieves the greasy and refreshing taste.

"It's so delicious, what kind of sauce is this?" Wang Chao asked in surprise.

"Have you forgotten? Last autumn, the little cook made a few jars of fruit jam, but now there is only pear jam left." Zhan Zhao said.

Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu all froze when they heard this, and bowed their heads without speaking.

It was late at night, and the doorman rushed to tell Zhan Zhao that Bai Yutang had just returned.

"Bai Shaoxia is very strange today. He is wearing a red dress. When the villain opens the door, he still smiles at the villain." The gatekeeper patted his chest and asked Zhan Zhao and others if Bai Yutang was outside. What a thrill.

"It's hard to say, after the little cook left, I haven't seen him happy." Ma Han sighed.

"Could you be overly sad and get mad? Have any of you ever seen Young Master Bai wearing a red dress?" Zhao Hu asked,

Several people shook their heads.

Afterwards, led by Zhan Zhao, the five came to Bai Yutang's room together.

Zhan Zhao knocked on the door, because he knew that Bai Yutang was an arrogant person, he would definitely not like people coming to persuade him directly, and would definitely feel ashamed, so he used the excuse of inviting Bai Yutang to have a drink, and asked him to come out to meet them.

Bai Yutang in the house agreed, but refused to see them on the grounds of changing clothes.

After exchanging glances with each other, they had no choice but to separate.

But on the second day, the five of them got together again and called Bai Yutang to have breakfast together early.There was no response after knocking on the door, and Fang learned from his servants that Bai Yutang had gotten up early and had breakfast, and had already gone to see Mr. Bao at this time.

Zhan Zhao and the others hurried to the Sansi Hall, and before entering, they heard the laughter of Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce.

The five entered the door without knowing why, and saw Zhan Zhao holding a stack of red invitation cards in his hand.

"This is?" The five asked in unison.

As soon as the words were finished, five big red invitations flew in front of each of them in turn.All five of them were born in kung fu practice, so they instinctively accepted the invitation.

After Zhan Zhao read the invitation first, he was surprised and asked, "Are you going to get married?"

"Married?" Zhao Hu grabbed the invitation, surprised and happy, but some monks Erzhang couldn't figure it out.Wang Chao and the others were also puzzled, but they were all happy for Zhan Zhao and asked him to explain what was going on.

"The Holy Majesty bestows a marriage, and an imperial decree will be issued soon."

Several people later learned that it was Bai Yutang who became the No. [-] martial artist in the martial arts, and was bestowed by the emperor to marry Princess Pingkang. Everyone was very happy.

"I heard that Princess Pingkang is very favored by the Queen Mother and the Holy Majesty, and that Young Hero Bai is really powerful." Ma Han was filled with admiration, "Maybe it's because of the sudden news that he always felt that Young Hero Bai, the champion of martial arts, would come here casually." gone."

"Then I will go to participate in martial arts later on, maybe I will encounter such a good thing!" Zhao Hu sighed.

"Forget it, you can't do that kind of kung fu."

Everyone laughed for a while, and blessed Bai Yutang one after another. They only waited for the seventh day of the third month in the spring of the coming year, when the two got married.

Princess Pingkang's wedding was naturally full of dignified guests, very grand.

Zhao Hu and others saw a lot of nobles who are not usually seen, the wedding banquet was also very delicious, and even the Holy Majesty came to see the emperor's demeanor.But no matter how they look at it, they all feel that the two guards next to the Holy Father are familiar. Why do they look so much like the brothers Chunlaichunqu who had resigned and returned to their hometown before?

But the scene was too lively, and we were far away, and the Holy One just had a face-to-face meeting with everyone, so no one looked into it.Everyone ate and drank happily, today's wedding banquet was very delicious, every dish was gourmet, and there was an indescribably familiar taste, in short, it was delicious.

Everything is good, but it is a pity that I can't see what the bride is like.

On the fourth day after the marriage, the bride had finished 'returning' from the palace, so she was leisurely and first, so she asked Bai Yutang to spread the word and invite Zhan Zhao, Zhao Hu and others to come to the house for dinner.

"Finally I have a chance to meet my siblings!" Wang Chao sighed, "I have grown up so much since I was a child, and I have never seen what the princess looks like."

"Me too!" Zhao Hu and the other three agreed.

The five of them brought gifts to Princess Pingkang's mansion. They met Bai Yutang first, and they felt that Bai Yutang was a heroic figure after marriage, and they were in a great mood.Seeing the maids passing by the courtyard non-stop, bringing the dishes to the side hall, and smelling that everything was delicious, I couldn't help swallowing secretly.

"Put those things on the side, put grilled fish and dessert in the middle, and move to the small table next to it." The voice of the female steward came from the side hall.

Zhao Hu picked his ears, and whispered to Ma Han beside him, "I seem to hear Xiuzhu talking."

"How is this possible? It's been two years, and you still miss her?" Ma Han asked back.

Zhao Hu lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Lang Jun's meals are all ready, and the princess will be here soon."

Guided by Bai Yutang, the group sat down at the table, and then all of them were attracted by the grilled fish in the middle of the table, which was a red carp.

Several people couldn't help but think of Little Cook.

"The Princess is here!" shouted the servant outside,

Everyone had suspicions in their hearts, and they all looked at the door by coincidence, and saw an extremely elegant and graceful woman walking over surrounded by a group of young maidservants, with a pair of clear almond eyes and a smile at the corner of her mouth, so charming.

No matter how familiar the facial features of the princess are, everyone carefully identified them, and suddenly realized that this person is very similar to the little cook Zhao Han.Looking at the big maid who followed her, it was undoubtedly Xiuzhu.

Zhan Zhao opened his eyes slightly, and Ma Han, Zhao Hu and others were even more exaggerated, all of them had big mouths, completely shocked.

"Brothers, please sit down. Since you are my husband's friends, you are my friends. Everyone is informal, so don't be polite, use whatever you want." Zhao Hanyan spoke to them in the original voice.

"This voice is also a woman's." Zhao Hu sighed softly, and then asked Zhao Hanyan stupidly, "Does the princess have any brothers who look very similar to you?"

Ma Han reacted very quickly, and the case kicked Zhao Hu, "Don't talk nonsense, you offended the princess."

"There used to be one, and I went to your Kaifeng mansion." Zhao Hanyan smiled, and invited them to sit down again.Then he ordered the maid to pour mincemeal wine for them to drink. The familiar taste aroused their familiar memories before. After a few sips, everyone let go.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!" Zhao Hu slapped his thigh angrily.

Zhan Zhao smiled: "I guessed wrong too." Then he asked Zhao Hanyan if Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun knew about it.

"They already knew."

After Bai Yutang finished speaking, Zhan Zhao and the others ordered him to punish himself three cups, because he blamed him for holding back such a big secret until two years later before telling them.

"I'm afraid there won't be a more suitable couple in this world than the two of you. I wish you a happy life together." Zhan Zhao said respectfully.

Zhao Hu and others echoed and toasted.

Zhao Hanyan thanked them with a smile and asked them to eat more, "I see that you are much thinner than before? Could it be that there are many big cases in Kaifeng Mansion in the past two years?"

"There are, but they are not as good as those back then."

"Actually, life is not bad. When there are no cases, it is quite leisurely. When it comes to thinness, I have to blame a certain little cook back then."

"What does this have to do with him?" Zhao Hanyan asked puzzled.

"He spoiled our appetite, but he suddenly disappeared. Since then, we have eaten any food that is not delicious. Do you think it will make us lose weight?"

Several people immediately began to complain about all the unpalatable meals they had eaten, and even Zhuangyuan Building was among their complaints.

Zhao Hanyan was amused by them all the time during the banquet.In the evening, when they were being sent away, Zhao Hu, who was half drunk, was playing tricks and didn't want to leave.

"Is your princess mansion short of manpower, sweeping the floor is fine, I want to stay."

"Then I also think that there is no need to pay wages, as long as there are delicious meals every day." Ma Han echoed.

In the end, the two mischievous people were taken out by Wang Chao.Zhan Zhao said goodbye to them, and Zhao Hanyan gave Zhan Zhao a box of chicken butts that he had prepared earlier, and asked him to bring them to Bao Zheng.

"But you are not allowed to see what's inside, and give it to Mr. Bao privately." Zhao Hanyan ordered.

Zhan Zhao agreed, and then said goodbye to Zhao Hanyan and Bai Yutang with a smile.

After watching them go, Bai Yutang immediately grabbed Zhao Hanyan's hand and intertwined his fingers.

"Why? Are you still here?" Zhao Hanyan glanced at Bai Yutang fearfully, "I can't do it tonight. I made a whole table of meals, and my back hurts."

Bai Yutang smiled and brought his thin lips to Zhao Hanyan's ear, and murmured softly, "You don't need to move while lying down, I'll just do it."
