Kaifeng House Small Dining Table

Zhao Hanyan looked at Bai Yutang cautiously: "Others?"

"That cousin of yours must be a decent person from his speech and attire. His shoes look simple, but they are made of brocade as a tribute that only royals and nobles can get, and it is the finest Shu brocade." Bai Yutang When explaining, his eyes did not leave Zhao Hanyan's face for a moment, as if he was waiting to see Zhao Hanyan show his flaws.

Zhao Hanyan took a breath slowly, and looked at Bai Yutang frankly, "You also discovered it."

"Really?" Bai Yutang asked puzzled, "Could it be that Mr. Bao has already found out?"

"It's not just Mr. Bao, Mr. Gongsun must also know." In fact, there is also Zhan Zhao, Zhao Hanyan thinks that Zhan Zhao must understand, maybe because of her feelings, he pretends to be confused.

Bai Yutang wasn't surprised, the little cook didn't behave like a child from an ordinary family. Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun saw countless people, so it was normal to see her through.

"Then who are you, and who is that cousin of yours, and what does it have to do with the Grand Master's Mansion?" Bai Yutang asked.

"I said you will keep it a secret for me?" Zhao Hanyan knew that as long as Bai Yutang agreed, he would keep his word and keep his promise.

Bai Yutang noticed that Zhao Hanyan was staring at him with a pair of serious and nervous eyes, and couldn't help laughing.

"In your eyes, I, Bai Yutang, am a person who picks and chooses the status of friends? Will I dislike the brother I know because he has a good background? Use your brains."

"Others may not, but you are different."

Zhao Hanyan was a little worried. Bai Yutang had always been proud and didn't care about people's background at all. What he cared about was 'concealing' things.It's not good to hide it, even though she has no choice but to.The point is that this situation is too unfavorable to her at the moment. It happens just after she wins the bet. If she had known that Bai Yutang would talk to her about this, she would have bet on Bai Yutang to win even if she did so at the cost of missing a day. A very exciting match.But when you should be a dog, you still have to be a dog, and you are a man who can stretch and bend!

Zhao Hanyan's mood at the moment is very "overwhelming". While observing Bai Yutang's reaction secretly, she estimated several possibilities in her heart, and then made plans to deal with these possibilities, and even predicted it thoughtfully. result.

After all, as long as Bai Yutang doesn't kill her immediately with a knife, there is room for things to turn around.In fact, Zhao Hanyan also believed that Bai Yutang would not be too cruel to him even for the sake of grilling fish.

But after making such a comprehensive estimate, the result is not the worst, she still feels very uneasy, what's going on?

"I understand, you come with me." Bai Yutang led Zhao Hanyan to the side room where he lived.

Zhao Hanyan followed slowly, and after entering the house, she stood there awkwardly, not daring to sit casually.Bai Yutang looked back at her, and suddenly rushed forward with his whole body, and his arm swished past Zhao Hanyan's ear.Zhao Hanyan was stunned for a moment, and the faint fragrance of plum blossoms entered his nose. He raised his head and just saw Bai Yutang's chin, and almost touched it. It was only a finger away from the tip of her nose.Zhao Hanyan even felt the wind brought by Bai Yutang, and he was warm.

With a bang, the door closed.

It was closing...

Bai Yutang lowered his head and looked at Zhao Hanyan while laughing at her: "You don't know how to close the door when you come in. Since your identity is a secret to be concealed, if you are not careful, how can you let people listen casually."

Zhao Hanyan nodded, thanked Bai Yutang, and then lowered his head.

Bai Yutang turned around and sat down, poured two cups of tea casually, turned his head and saw Zhao Hanyan standing there still huddled, like a beautiful little quail being bullied.

"What are you doing, sit down." Bai Yutang sighed amusedly.

Zhao Hanyan obediently came across to Bai Yutang, sat down, and looked at him politely.Like a good student, always ready to listen to the teacher's teachings.

Seeing Zhao Hanyan like this, Bai Yutang couldn't get angry at all. He hadn't started to question him harshly, but he had already assumed an obedient attitude of admitting his mistakes.The entanglements, doubts, and all kinds of guesses in my heart these days, both good and bad, were all emptied from my mind at this moment.

"you--"

"My status is a bit noble, but please believe me, I have something to hide, and I have to do it. I came to Kaifeng Mansion simply because I wanted to be a cook, and I didn't think about anything else. My background gave me a very good brocade Jade food, but it also hinders me from doing what I want and like to do the most. Life is to live in the present, who can think of what will happen tomorrow, so I am quite self-willed, and I want to do things according to my own will. This is The reason why I came to Kaifeng Mansion to be a cook." Zhao Hanyan explained.

Bai Yutang listened intently, and looked at Zhao Hanyan even more intently. He used to think that the little cook's earnest look was the most attractive when he was cooking, but now listening to her talk about her love and her life choices still attracts his attention as always. .

Most people in this world go with the flow, mostly because of "I have to do it", "I have to do this", and "I can't help myself", but when I really think about it, there are so many excuses, it is nothing more than two choices, want or don't want to.Even if you can't reach it after working hard, it is better to die on the road of hard work than to die in the abyss of self-destruction.

Just like learning martial arts, how many people only see him young and handsome, with such strong martial arts, how envious they are, but they don't know how much he has practiced hard for ages, and how many pains ordinary people have experienced.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhao Hanyan now, as if he saw himself back then.

to blame?He couldn't blame it at all.

"Then what is your real identity?" Bai Yutang asked again, and then added, "Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you."

"I belong to the Eighth Prince..." Zhao Hanyan glanced at Bai Yutang. She didn't want to lie to Bai Yutang again, but she really couldn't tell the identity of the woman, so she would play tricks in the second half of the sentence, and let Bai Yutang "pretend" .Looking back, if there is a next time, when Bai Yutang discovers her identity again, she will still be able to make excuses and quibble.

"Are you the son of the Eight Kings?" Bai Yutang frowned at Zhao Hanyan, his eyes couldn't hide his surprise.

Zhao Hanyan brought the tea cup to his mouth, pretended to drink water, and then rolled his eyes at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang naturally thought that Zhao Hanyan had admitted it, and was even more surprised.He had thought that the little cook had status, and the little cook had indeed told him that his status was noble just now, but the status of the son of a prince who is in charge of real power is still too high, which he did not expect.

Although Shu brocade is a tribute, it is not difficult to obtain. There are many high and low ranks of princes and grandchildren, and there are the most imperial relatives in Tokyo City, so many that they are all over the street.Bai Yutang had seen some of them, most of them were relatives who had little or no relationship with the emperor.He really hadn't seen someone like the little cook, a real and serious son of a prince.The most important thing is, who would have thought that the son of the dignified prince would go to Kaifeng Mansion to be a cook.

No wonder it was so difficult for the little cook to say just now. With such an identity, the devil would let him out to be a cook!

Zhao Hanyan found that Bai Yutang was so surprised now, how surprised he would be if he knew that he was not only the son of the Eighth Prince, but also a woman.

Will you be so angry that you swing your knife?Forget it, I still pray that he never knows.

"It's my fault, don't be angry, I'll make amends for you. Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you, how about that?" Zhao Hanyan blinked her cat-like eyes, and looked at Bai Yutang with clean eyes.

Bai Yutang originally had another question, but looking at the pitiful appearance of the little cook, it was not easy for her to make up her mind to make a choice that everyone would be surprised or even laughed at.As for his suspicion, which could hardly be called doubt, there was no need to talk about it.Otherwise, it seems that he questioned too much, as if he was very caressing and unwilling to forgive others.The little cook is already having a hard time, so please be considerate.

"It's over, I don't know." Bai Yutang said.

"Thank you very much!" Zhao Hanyan hurriedly got up, and happily thanked Bai Yutang.

"You don't have to—" Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to stop her, just as Zhao Hanyan moved his hands down, and bumped into her.

Bai Yutang: "You don't have to be so polite, your status is so noble."

The body temperature from the opponent's palm turned into a heat wave, spreading from the arm to the cheek.

After Zhao Hanyan nodded, he silently drew his hand.

Bai Yutang also explained to her earnestly: "If you are so polite to me in the future, I will get angry."

"Okay, I won't do it in the future, I treat you as my own." Zhao Hanyan pressed his warm cheeks, then pointed at the door in a panic, "Then I went back to the house?"

"En." Bai Yutang responded lightly, and casually glanced at Zhao Hanyan's face, "Why is your face so red?"

"I drank too much wine just now, and it's a bit hot." Zhao Hanyan held his forehead, feeling his face getting hotter and hotter, "I didn't expect that mincemeal wine didn't feel good after drinking it at first, but it has such a strong aftertaste."

"Drink this cup of tea quickly." Bai Yutang poured another cup of tea for Zhao Hanyan, telling her that tea can relieve hangover.

Zhao Hanyan drank it all in one gulp, then wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and bid farewell to Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang: "Well, cover the quilt at night." After drinking, the whole body becomes hot, and it is the easiest to kick the quilt. Now that it is autumn, the weather is getting colder, especially in the middle of the night. If you kick the quilt, you will definitely catch cold and get sick.

Zhao Hanyan nodded, ran out in a hurry, and quickly closed the door.

Xiuzhu, who was waiting outside the courtyard, heard the sound of the door opening, she poked her head around, and when she saw her princess, she hurried in from outside the courtyard, and happily asked Zhao Hanyan, "Did you tell Shaoxia Bai that I will move back tonight?"

Zhao Hanyan suddenly remembered that he hadn't said anything about it, so he turned around to say it, but saw that the lights in Bai Yutang's room had gone out.

"Forget it, I'll talk about it tomorrow, I just forgot." Zhao Hanyan sighed.

Xiuzhu then waited for her princess to enter the house, and after simply listening to what happened, she was afraid again and again.

"It was exposed so easily, then—"

Zhao Hanyan pointed at Xiuzhu, and Xiuzhu's half-open mouth closed immediately.

"So pay attention in the future, no matter when, if it's just the two of us in private, call me the right name, and don't say a word where you shouldn't say it."

Xiuzhu should be right again and again.

Zhao Hanyan rubbed his head, and then wrote a letter to Zhao Zhen, telling him not to come if he can't come in the future, and be careful when he really wants to come, so as not to cause trouble for her.Of course, the letter will not be so direct, and express this meaning euphemistically.

The next day, after Zhao Zhen received Zhao Hanyan's letter, he smiled helplessly, "I still think of me."

Zhao Zhen immediately ordered someone to check the situation of Bai Yutang again. Later, when Bao Zheng came to see him, Zhao Zhen asked about the cost of personnel in Kaifeng Mansion as if it were a small talk.Bao Zheng naturally frankly said that this year Kaifeng Mansion has two more geniuses.

When Zhao Zhen heard that there were two of them, he hurriedly asked who they were.When he learned that he had his cousin Zhao Hanyan, Zhao Zhen had mixed feelings.Happily, his good cousin was really talented and could not be stopped, and was discovered by Bao Zheng's insightful eyes.What is worrying is listening to Bao Zheng's narration, his cousin seems to have seen a man's naked body?Although it is a dead man, this is really...

After all, the fact that his cousin went to Kaifeng Mansion to work as a cook must not be leaked.Otherwise, such a beautiful girl would not be able to marry.It's a pity not to mention, the queen mother will definitely not let him go, maybe she will beat him with a stick.

"Your Majesty?" Bao Zheng talked for a long time, and suddenly realized that Zhao Zhen didn't listen to him at all, as if he was lost in thought.

"Uh, this Bai Yutang, as a man from the rivers and lakes, can give up his freedom and go to the government to uphold justice for the people. It's very good." After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he said to Bao Zheng, "The imperial court should give him more praise to attract him. More geniuses like him and Zhan Zhao will be used by us. Just like Zhan Zhao, how about being a fourth-rank guard with a sword in Bai Yutang?"

Bao Zheng quickly knelt down to thank him, thanking the Holy Spirit for his wisdom and insight into talents.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help sighing again: "He's a nice person." It just looks like he has a temper, but that's fine, Kaifeng Mansion lacks a temper.After all, it is the capital of the Great Song Dynasty. If there are no two powerful people, how can the city of Tokyo, where the streets are full of royal relatives, be able to hold down.

Bao Zheng happily thanked Bai Yutang for his gratitude, and after receiving the imperial decree, he hurried back to Kaifeng Mansion to inform Bai Yutang of the news.

When everyone heard that there was another fourth-rank guard with a knife in the Kaifeng mansion, and that things would be smoother in the future, they all felt happy and congratulated Bai Yutang.Bai Yutang didn't feel anything about this, he thanked him lightly, and left.

"Have you seen that, this is what it means to regard fame and fortune as floating clouds, floating clouds..." Ma Han looked at Bai Yutang who left gracefully and gracefully with admiration, and said with emotion to the dynasty.

"Well, it is indeed like a cloud, and the clothes are all white." Wang Chao echoed.

Zhao Hu pursed his lips and said to Ma Han: "We also competed last night, why didn't we get promoted?"

"Yes." Ma Han also felt regretful.

"You have a good idea, if you don't work hard, the sixth-rank captain will lose!" Wang Chao told them to leave.

"Where are you going?" Ma Han and Zhao Hu quickly put on their knives and asked Wang Chao as they walked.

"The Grand Master's Mansion."

Ma Han and Zhao Hu glanced at each other, and stopped at the same time, "No, what are you doing at the Grand Master's Mansion!"

Wang Chao looked back at the two quarrelsome people helplessly, "Treasures have been stolen from the Grand Master's Mansion, report to our Kaifeng Mansion, do you want to take care of it?"

"Of course it doesn't matter. There are so many guards in such a big Grand Master's Mansion. If they don't guard their own treasure, it's none of our business!" Zhao Hu pouted, determined not to go.

Ma Han didn't want to go either, "This is obviously trying to make things difficult for us, and if we go, we'll be tricked."

"Even if you deliberately make things difficult, you have to go. If you don't go, you really have a reason to make things difficult for them." Wang Chao urged them to hurry up.

"But what can we solve with our stupid brains?" Ma Han then asked Wang Chao if he had reported it to Mr. Gongsun. After getting an affirmative answer, he was a little desperate, "Mr. Gongsun probably trusts the three of us too much."

"It's just a perfunctory, just go and have a look." Wang Chao urged them to leave quickly.

At this moment, Gongsun Ce came out with a smile, and called Wang Chao to him, "Tomorrow is the day of Pang Ji's execution. I'm afraid there is something wrong with the Grand Master's Mansion at this time. I just discussed it with the adults, and you three are the only ones to be afraid." No. In this way, call Bai Shaoxia and Little Cook. One of them is a kung fu master, and he is a fourth-rank guard with a knife in the imperial seal; .”

"Okay, okay!" Wang Chao, Ma Han and Zhao Hu nodded repeatedly, thanking the savior Gongsun Ce for thinking about them.

After a stick of incense, Zhao Hanyan and the other five rode to Taishi Mansion.

There was a heroic guard in black clothes standing in front of the Grand Master's Mansion, and when he saw them coming, he asked without any surprise: "But the official of Kaifeng Mansion?"

"Exactly." Zhao Hanyan said.

"My name is Wang Chen, and I am the bodyguard of the third son of my family. It is our third son who threw things. Please follow me." After taking care of the horses, lead them in through Eryi Gate.During the period, I saw that the houses and pavilions were everywhere, so I don't need to say more.

A group of people went to the Firework Pavilion.

"Firework Pavilion, is this the place to set off fireworks?" Zhao Hu sighed softly after reading the name.

Bai Yutang glanced at it, and said coldly: "The whole building is made of Jinsinan, will there be fireworks?"

Wang Chao and the others were astonished, and hurriedly looked carefully at the gate and pillars, no wonder they thought this pavilion was particularly eye-catching when they first opened their eyes.

"Please come in, the stolen treasure is on the second floor." Wang Chen raised his right hand, indicating the location of the second floor.

Zhao Hanyan looked up and walked ahead.

Bai Yutang glanced at Wangchen's motionless left arm, and then followed him upstairs.
