Half River Autumn Moon and River Spring [Rat and Cat]

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang led Young Master Long into the Kaifeng mansion, guessing that Mr. Bao was reading a file in the study at this time, so they went straight to the study, Mr. Bao happened to walk out of the study, and saw Zhan Bai and the two facing each other with a worried look. He came and was about to ask a question when he saw a distinguished guest looking around behind the two of them.

Bao Zheng hastily saluted and said: "My humble minister, see..."

"Bao Qing is free of courtesy, I just came to chat with you, don't worry too much about the etiquette of monarchs and ministers."

Bao Zheng nodded and said, "Observe the order."

Bao Zheng arranged a seat for Zhao Zhen, and saw that Zhan Bai and the two were standing in place, neither standing nor walking, so he rescued them and said: "Guard Zhan, you and Shaoxia Bai go to Mr. Gongsun to see if there is anything that needs help. Bar."

"Yes!"

Finally able to get out of the sea of ​​suffering, Zhan Zhao was so excited that he dragged Bai Yutang and ran away, thinking that Mr. Bao really has a heart of compassion for all people, so it's really not Gai.Zhao Zhen stared blankly at the backs of the two leaving, until Bao Zheng handed him a cup of tea, and he was holding the teacup, and he came back to his senses.

"Bao Qing, what is the relationship between Bai Yutang and Guard Zhan?" Zhao Zhen blew on the tea mist and asked in a casual manner.

Bao Zheng blinked and looked at Zhao Zhen: "Why did Your Majesty suddenly ask this?"

Zhao Zhen said: "I think that Bai Yutang is a rare talent, and I am considering recruiting talents."

Bao Zheng said clearly: "So that's the case, it's just this matter..."

"What? Is it difficult?"

Bao Zheng frowned, and the moon on his forehead also frowned: "It's not just that it's difficult... Judging from how I got along with that young man Bai, he won't belong to this temple."

Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Let's hear it."

"Your Majesty, that Young Master Bai was born in the Jianghu. People in the Jianghu will uphold their own justice, have their own perception of right and wrong, and judge right and wrong according to their own methods. This is the so-called Jianghu Matters. And We are different. Those of us who are in the government and the opposition must be loyal to the emperor and worry about the emperor. We look at things from different angles and handle things differently. We cannot restrain them with our words and deeds, nor can they. If we are framed by their Jianghu morality, there is a huge contrast between the two aspects. Therefore, since ancient times, the imperial court has not interfered in the affairs of the Jianghu, and the Jianghu has not involved the court party. "

"What about Guard Zhan? Isn't he also a member of the Jianghu?"

Bao Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Zhanwei is different."

"Why is it different?"

Bao Zheng said: "He understands Zhanwei."

"kindness?"

"Your Majesty will understand in the future, because there is only one Zhan Zhao in this world."

"Bao Qing," Zhao Zhen shook the rocking chair, looking at the sky in a daze, "then the only Zhan Zhao in this world will belong to me?"

Bao Zheng paused, then suddenly said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I didn't hear anything just now."

Zhao Zhen was slightly astonished, and then he pressed his head and smiled lightly: "Well, I was talking nonsense just now, maybe I'm tired... I want to go back to the palace first, Bao Qing will inform the king of Zhongzhou later, I will go first step."

After finishing speaking, he got up and stood up, and Bao Zheng also stood up hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I have sent someone to send His Majesty back to the palace."

Zhao Zhen shook his head: "No need."

"But……"

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Why, besides Zhan Zhao, is there anyone else who can compare to the shadow guards beside me?"

Bao Zheng was choked, Zhao Zhen shook his head and left with a smile, Bao Zheng looked at Zhao Zhen's leaving back and sighed.

On the other side, Gongsun went to see Jiang Ping again. Pang Tong planned to follow, but was thrown out by Gongsun, so he sighed while carrying the food box, and finally handed the food box to Zhang Long, and went back by himself.

Pang Tong walked halfway, and suddenly felt something was wrong around him. Turning his head, he saw Zhan Zhao looking at him with a smile, and at the same time followed Bai Yutang who seemed to have nothing to do with him and was bored. I have never noticed that I was being followed by these two people. Is it because I was negligent in guarding against it or the martial arts of these two people are too high?

"General Pang," Zhan Zhao saw Pang Tong looking at him, and leaned over to say hello, "Do you want to go back to the general's mansion?"

Zhan Zhao seldom greeted him proactively, and he usually just nodded his acquaintance when they met, so for a while, Pang Tong felt a little "flattered".

"Brother Zhan, what's the matter?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, squinting his eyes and smiling: "The two hot spring tickets that you agreed on just now?"

Unwilling, Pang Tong took two exquisitely wrapped envelopes and handed them to Zhan Zhao: "Oh, I originally planned to take Gongsun there, but I was kicked out without saying a word."

Zhan Zhao said with a smile, "In that case, I would like to thank the general for letting go."

Pang Tongtong had a helpless face: "..."

……

In the evening, when Zhan Zhao was on duty in the palace, he didn't expect that Zhao Zhen ordered someone to prepare a table of dishes. The key was all meat, such as braised elbows, Dongpo pork, steamed pork with powder, and a hot pot. Sheep scorpion...

The little emperor didn't hide it, and directly called Zhan Zhao to eat, and said that it was prepared for him.

At night, Zhan Zhao was tired of eating, but he didn't dare to say anything. After finally getting through the shift, Zhan Zhao rushed back to Kaifeng mansion without stopping, thinking that he would be able to go to Yutang to relax at night after taking a rest during the day. After soaking in a hot spring, I feel good for a while.

When he arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, he didn't see Bai Yutang, and Zhan Zhao didn't pay much attention to it. He thought that the mouse might have gone to the fourth brother's place, so he went to catch up on sleep first. When he woke up, it was already noon, and he saw Bai Yu Tang came in with a bowl of dark stuff.

Zhan Zhao sat up, exchanged glances with Bai Yutang, then glanced at the bowl of things in his hand that couldn't be seen clearly, and asked, "Yutang, who is this?"

Bai Yutang coughed twice, and turned his face away in embarrassment: "I came back in the morning to see you asleep, so I went to the kitchen to learn how to cook with Aunt Wang."

"Ah, is that so?" Zhan Zhao looked at the bowl of vegetables in his hand in shock, "You? Learn to cook?"

Bai Yutang nodded: "Braised pork."

Zhan Zhao looked at the black charred pieces in the bowl, is the braised pork in this color?

"Maybe it's too hot and burnt. Forget it, let's not eat it." After Bai Yutang finished speaking, he wanted to take it out, but was stopped by Zhan Zhao, who picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

The first bite was bitter, Zhan Zhao smiled while eating, "Have you ever eaten it yourself?"

Bai Yutang shook his head, Zhan Zhao said: "Your sugar color has been fried, so it has a bitter taste."

Bai Yutang nodded, then reacted and said, "You don't want to eat it if it's too hard!"

Zhan Zhao took the bowl: "It's your first time cooking, so don't let it go to waste."

After finishing the sentence, he ate the whole bowl of meat in one bite, and looked at Bai Yutang while eating, and said, "I don't know what's wrong with Your Majesty, but I had to eat a table of dishes last night, but I think his table of delicacies Nothing compares to your bowl of braised pork that makes me feel better!"

Hearing this, Bai Yutang had mixed feelings, this cat, after all, was still towards him, and it was not in vain that his majestic Bai Yutang was scolded by the cook and aunt for a long time in the kitchen.

After eating, Zhan Zhao said, "I'll take care of the Kaifeng mansion in the afternoon, and when I have time in the evening, let's go to the hot spring together!"

Bai Yutang said softly, "It's all up to you."

……

That night, in the suburbs of Beijing, Four Seasons Pavilion.

It turns out that this hot spring in the suburbs of Beijing was excavated recently. Some people thought it was a treasure land for making money, so they bought it and converted it into a hot spring inn, named Sijixuan. The rich children in the capital love this four seasons Come to Xuan to soak in a hot spring, enjoy writing and playing with words, arty.And because of Pang Tong's high position and weight, and his young age, those rich kids love to curry favor with him, and they will honor Pang Tong with anything interesting and amusing, and he will always come to him, so Pang Tong is naturally clear about the boundaries of such a good place, but He originally wanted to bring Gongsun here to soak in the hot springs, but unexpectedly, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang took the lead.

Zhan Zhao changed into casual clothes and Bai Yutang came to the Four Seasons Pavilion. There were many famous second-generation ancestors in the capital in the Four Seasons Pavilion. They were usually friends with each other, and they knew each other very well. Unconsciously, everyone's eyes were on Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

In fact, Zhan Zhao is also a well-known figure in the capital. However, those rich children are quite jealous of Kaifeng Mansion. After all, they are afraid of Bao Qingtian's reputation. They may still be recognized by the government. Now that Zhan Zhao is dressed in plain clothes and he is surrounded by the extravagant Bai Yutang, those princes and buddies will naturally regard them as fellows, and they don't think about the government, let alone Kaifeng. house.

Bai Yutang frowned when he saw that there were quite a lot of people in the inn. Zhan Zhao seemed to know what he was thinking, tugged at his sleeve and said in a low voice: "Pang Tong said that this inn has a single room hot spring room, you cleanliness rat Don't worry about it."

Bai Yutang grabbed Zhan Zhao's hand with his backhand: "Cat, what do you mean, only the two of us will wash together later?"

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang: "What's the matter? Still not feeling well? Then I ask the boss to open two rooms, how about one for each person?"

Bai Yutang laughed: "You misunderstood, I just didn't expect that Mao'er, you are so sensible today..."

Zhan Zhao thought that Bai Yutang meant that he knew that he was obsessed with cleanliness and couldn't accept washing with strangers, so he teased the white mouse's pretty chin with a smile: "I don't know you, who else knows you? Beauty... "

Zhan Zhao was used to playing around with Bai Yutang on weekdays, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with his actions, but this action was watched by those young men who were in the romantic field, so he didn't think it was so simple.

Zhan Zhao was so habitual that he dragged Bai Yutang to find the boss to open a room, planning to soak in a comfortable hot spring.When the shop owner heard that Zhan Zhao was introduced by Pang Tong, he immediately said that he wanted to find the best hot spring room for Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang. Zhan Zhao thought to himself: So Pang Tong's name is very useful!So they dragged Bai Yutang to go to the room with the owner of the store, but before they had gone a few steps, someone stopped in front of them.

Zhan Zhao looked at the person in front of him, and asked, "What's the matter, brother?"

The man looked at Zhan Zhao, then at Bai Yutang, without hiding his fiery eyes, then stroked the cuff of his left hand with his right hand and said, "The two of you are also on the same path? It's better to be alone than to be happy together." ?”

Zhan Zhao didn't understand what the man meant, and asked a little puzzled, "A fellow?"

Bai Yutang on the side smiled coldly with sharp eyes.

The man was startled by Bai Yutang's eyes, and ran away in fright.

Bai Yutang pushed Zhan Zhao, who hadn't figured it out yet, and told him to move on. Zhan Zhao took a few steps inexplicably, and asked Bai Yutang, "What the hell is he talking about in the same way? And what is that cut-off hand?" mean?"

Bai Yutang shook his head: "Stupid cat, that's not cutting hands."

"It's not cutting hands, what is it?"

Bai Yutang really wanted to slap the cat on the head, how could he be so smart when it came to this kind of problem...

"Silly cat, what he chopped off was not the hand, but the sleeve."

"Sleeves? Eh? But why do you want to cut off the sleeves? If you cut them off, wouldn't the sleeves be broken? Then how do you wear them?"

That's why it's called "Broken Sleeve", Bai Yutang was a little bit dumbfounded.

"Cat..."

"what?"

"How can you be so cute?"

"..."
