This year's monsters are super fierce [75]

Thank you, do not choose.

Neither the cat school nor the dog school, Yan Buzhou, as a former hawk school, just envies the eagles to fly freely in the sky.

Now that she has experienced falling into a pit from a high altitude, she has long since given up on the idea of ​​raising animals, maybe they will become smart in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Zhao, why do you ask this question? People like me who travel far away from time to time are really not suitable for keeping pets."

Yan Buzhou kept smiling, completely disbelieving that Zhao Zhen didn't know that Liu E had summoned her.It's fine to be tacit about these things, and it's fine to catch monsters, but don't make any pet trusteeship and other entrustments.

Zhao Zhen was taken aback for a moment, it seemed that he really didn't know the latest news if he didn't speak well.

"Don't Ah Yan know the most famous cat in the capital recently? Master Bao thoroughly investigated the case of the shortage of the granary in Chenzhou. Counting from rushing for the exam, it was the fourth time he was rescued by Nan Xia.

Bao Zheng implored the emperor to issue an order, hoping that the Kaifeng government could get the help of such a talented person as Zhan Zhao, so as to better eliminate the unhealthy atmosphere in Bianjing.Three days ago, the emperor sealed Zhanzhao as a guard with swords in the first four ranks of the imperial court, appointed him to serve in Kaifeng Mansion, and named him a royal cat. "

Zhao Zhen raised the corners of his mouth when he said this, and couldn't help smiling a little smugly, "No one in Bianjing doesn't love cats. Sometimes cats have a higher status than people. Cats can be cute or noble, cunning and gentle. I think Yu The title of cat has completely got rid of the dull and boring official titles in the past. It is both down-to-earth and mysterious, and it also reflects the emperor's love and care. You think it's great too, right?"

This time it was Yan Buzhou who was stunned, she had just returned to Beijing from the countryside, how could she have time to listen to gossip, and it would be better to inquire about the rental situation of a suitable courtyard first.

Since the end of August, Yingwang has traveled eastward through the mountains and forests to arrange the renovation and building materials of Huangfu, but the construction team is still unknown.

Right now, it is winter, and Zhixuan and Zhibai don't realize there is something wrong with living in a windy room. The bodies of the two demons are stones, and they are insensitive to changes in cold and heat.But Ying Wangdong was used to the temperature in spring, and he wanted to find another place to live before the doors and windows were repaired in Huangfu.

Before Yan Buzhou left Beijing, he asked Lin Yuan, Bai Sheng and other well-informed people to check whether there were any small courtyards with suitable rental prices in the inner city.Considering that Huangfu is located in the northwest corner of the outer city of the capital, it is really far away from Qushuxuan, which is located on the edge of the imperial city.In winter, horse racing is strictly prohibited in the city, so it is necessary to rent another courtyard in the center of the city.

Lin Yuan gave an inside message that the original location of Huixianguan was being sold at a low price.

Huixianguan is located in the inner city, and its scale is not large, so it can barely be regarded as a second-entry house.

During Bai Tan's tenure as the master of the temple, even a statue of a righteous god was never enshrined.Since the incident of the mercury monster, that piece of land lost its successor and was confiscated.

This place needs to completely wipe out all the existing buildings, and expose it to the sun to completely dissipate the evil spirits.After half a year in the sun, the imperial court approved the land to be sold.

It's just that the source of Sun Changxi's case has not been fully investigated, and the name of this murderous place is still floating in the real estate circle. Without strong skills, you are not afraid of death or evil, so you really dare not buy this land.

Lin Yuan felt that Yan Buzhou should not care about any evil spirits, so he told her the news of the leak.Lin Yuan's idea is not wrong, because he doesn't care about the bad reputation of the land, but he cares about the price of the land.

Even if it is said to be sold at a low price, the land in Bianjing will never be sold at a low price, and there is no 1 taels to avoid negotiation. 1 taels was a cheap sale in the eyes of the court, but it was enough to dissuade ordinary people from leaving. Yan Buzhou only had less than 1000 taels of cash in his hand, so he had no ability to join in the fun.

In this case, he lamented that money seemed to never be enough, while in that case Zhao Zhen was proud of his most satisfying title.What the two of them thought was irrelevant, they couldn't run together at all.

At the moment, Yan Buzhou faced Zhao Zhen's expectant eyes begging for approval, and she didn't know how Zhan Zhao accepted the appointment without complaint, but she could only nod helplessly.

"It's really great. Yumao is a title that has both charm and heart, and it vividly reflects the sincere expectations of the emperor. It can be said that there is no one before or after, and it is really rare to see in a thousand years."

Forgive her, watching Zhao Zhen seem to be proud of his tail, she really can't make it up anymore.

Yan Buzhou decisively changed the topic, "New Year's Eve is only two days away, I have to hurry up and go to the small courtyard introduced by Boss Bai to see the situation. Brother Zhao is busy with personnel, so we can just come to Fu Xiaoguan to meet at night. "

"Not busy, what can I be busy with." Zhao Zhen didn't feel guilty at all when he said this.As New Year's Eve approached, there was no major event in the court, and I just read various New Year's memorials in the palace.As for matters such as sacrifices, the people below will arrange the specific details, and he will just wait until the New Year's Eve to go through the process. If there is anything that requires him to personally supervise the field.

Ever since Liu E revealed the truth about the past, she was even more aboveboard and didn't want to see Zhao Zhen, saying that she should let her spend her last days quietly.Except for the Queen Mother, there is no one who is worthy of Zhao Zhen's hard work and has to stay in the palace. That is not as comfortable as outside the palace walls. Even the heavy snow can't stop him yearning for the outside world.

"Hehe." Relying on Zhao Zhen's inability to understand the profound connotation of the word, Yan Buzhou smiled unabashedly, "Brother Zhao can do whatever he wants."

The rental house that Baisheng introduced was his own set of shops. Not long after the tenants in front checked out, there were already a bunch of people who made an appointment and lined up to rent, so I reserved it for her for the sake of not being familiar with Yan Zhou. with.

The storefront is not big, and there is no aisle for four or five dining tables, but it is located near Fanlou, one of the major downtown areas in Bianjing. cheap.What's more, there is a small courtyard at the back, and there are four or five vacant rooms for people to live in. It can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

Yan Buzhou is very satisfied with just one glance, she doesn't care that the small courtyard is located in the middle of the commercial street and it is too lively, this just fits the ordinary flower and tree business planned by Ying Wangdong.

The tenant in front opened a rouge and gouache store, and the facade is not bad in part, so there is no need for major changes.If you rent this place and pack it up quickly, you can earn your first money as soon as possible during the Spring Festival.

It is said that Song people are very elegant, rich or poor, and the demand for flowers and trees is staggering.

The beauty of garden plants, the beauty of indoor bonsai, the beauty of flower decorations for men and women, flowers and trees can be seen everywhere, rich and rich play, poor and poor have fun.

Ying Wangdong's newcomer did not want to focus on large orders for garden flowers and trees when he entered the industry. With his expertise in flower cultivation, he first wanted to break into the flower market that most needed fresh-keeping methods.

During the Spring Festival, every household is looking for festive decorations, which increases the demand for indoor flower arrangements. Besides, people pay attention to New Year's dress when visiting relatives and friends.It just so happened that the previous trip around Bianjing brought back several carts of flowers. Others were probably worried about their withering, but it was not a problem for Ying Wangdong at all.

"Ayan, you just signed it? Don't look at it anymore?"

Zhao Zhen followed Yan Buzhou to the store on Cross Street.Walking around from the front shop to the backyard, he saw that he hadn't made a decision and decided to rent it immediately, so he rushed back to Qushuxuan and called Shang Baisheng to go to Kaifeng Mansion to register the lease. "The previous tenants sold rouge, and you sell flowers. Don't you think the place is a bit small?"

Small?It must be smaller than the palace.

Yan Buzhou didn't think it was a small thing, the rental price offered by Baisheng was fair, and with Qushuxuan's popularity in Wazi, Beizhou, the effect of an advertisement for the opening of a flower shop posted at the door was very good. Landlord's light.

"You can't chew too much. It's hard to find anywhere in Fanlou, and the flower shop doesn't need to be too big. If I hesitate, I don't know how many people will rush to ask for it. What's more, the demand for fresh flowers is soaring during the Spring Festival. Such an opportunity to make money is a must. Lost never to return."

I didn't have time to talk to Zhao Zhen. After registering the lease contract, I had to clean up the shop as soon as possible before it was dark today, so that I could complete a series of things such as moving and putting flowers on the shelves before New Year's Eve. "There are a lot of things to do in the afternoon, I'm afraid I'll neglect Brother Zhao. Why don't Brother Zhao stay in the tile first and listen to the play?"

Zhao Zhen understood that it was because he thought he couldn't come up with useful suggestions, and would just stand aside and get in the way, but what drama can he listen to today?A few days before New Year's Eve, the Goulan tile shop had a short period of closure until the official resumption of work on the sixth day of the first month, so it would be better to let him go shopping on the street.

"Ah Yan is so busy, it doesn't seem too good for me to go shopping on the street to see what's new when I meet him."

Zhao Zhen said politely, shopping alone is not fun, he was wondering whether to go play with the newly appointed Royal Cat, and take Zhan Zhao to see the scenery of Bianjing before he officially took office.

Yan Buzhou squinted his eyes. Since this guy was wandering around with nothing to do, she dared to let him experience what it means to be down-to-earth, and handed Zhao Zhen the store key she just got.

"Brother Zhao, if you want to help, just tell me, I am very happy. You just recognized the door. First, take all the cleaning tools that you borrowed from Boss Bai to the cross street, saving me from running back and forth. At most half an hour, I will register If you have a good lease, let's go clean the store together. Brother Zhao must be quick to do the housework to welcome the New Year so quickly, and today you don't have to worry about cleaning up."

How good it is to fulfill the Zhao Liuqiong scholar personality you want to maintain, and to fulfill your expectations of integrating into the lives of ordinary people.

"Remember to start a fire to boil hot water first. In winter, don't treat your hands badly, mix it with warm water and then soak the rag."

Yan Buzhou didn't care whether Zhao Zhen would start a fire, he recruited a group of hidden guards to do all the work within half an hour, which saved her from having to work. "Brother Zhao, thank you for your hard work. I invite you for dinner today."

"Ah?" Zhao Zhen didn't expect to be directly set to mop the floor and wipe the table on this day. Is his labor worth a meal?

Yan Buzhou and Baisheng had already jumped on the donkey cart and set off for Kaifeng Mansion.

Only Zhao Zhen was left standing there with a bunch of keys in his hand, looking sideways at the buddy of Qushuxuan who came to urge him, who was waiting for him to pull the cart of cleaning tools.

Hei Yi watched Zhao Zhen take the reins of the donkey cart in the dark, the emperor really wanted to do a year-end cleaning in person.

In consideration of Zhao Zhen's personal safety, he could not be allowed to set off the stove as a novice. When he arrived at the cross street store, Hei Yi took the initiative to show up and rushed to the door of the back kitchen and asked, "Master, can you make a fire?"

"What do you think!" Zhao Zhen gave Hei a sideways glance. This question is out of standard. Where can he learn how to make a fire?If he had learned it, there would have been rumors of black smoke coming from the imperial dining room in the palace.

On New Year's Eve, stay at Cross Street.

Not getting lost flower shop has not had time to make a plaque, but everything in the shop is properly arranged.

Yan Buzhou chose Fan Lou's New Year's Eve banquet delivery service and ordered a table of delicious dishes, so he could eat directly with a few monsters without the fatigue of cooking himself, celebrating the first New Year's Eve after coming to Song Dynasty.

New Year's Eve in Bianjing is never deserted.

Although the theater troupe in Wasi was closed, and only rich families would invite the theater troupe to perform alone at home, but when it was completely dark, at the beginning of the Xu Dynasty, they heard the drums and thunder in the palace, and a troupe walked out of the Donghuamen of the palace. Ghosts and gods.

There are only two streets between Shizi Street and Donghuamen, and you can walk straight out of Donghuamen for a stick of incense to get to the Flower Shop.

At such a close distance, after Yan Buzhou faintly heard the beating of the inner drum, he opened the door after a while and saw heavenly soldiers and generals wearing masks or makeup, Yan Luo judges, demons and ghosts dancing with weapons and colorful flags, coming from the store door. What used to be like a gathering of gods passed away like a group of demons dancing wildly.

"This year's dress is better than last year's."

"However, I still don't see the goddess. I hope to see the Queen Mother of the West or Chang'e next year."

There are many people who open the door to watch the ghosts and gods parade the streets after eating enough. This team of ghosts and gods jointly dressed by the Royal Forest Army and the Jiaofang Division is going on a New Year's Eve exorcism trip.

During the daytime of the New Year's Eve, there will be Nuo opera dances in the imperial palace, and a ghost exorcism ceremony will be staged with people pretending to be ghosts. At night, professional people and horses will walk around the city to drive away hidden ghosts in the capital.Like setting off firecrackers near midnight, these are must-have items on New Year's Eve.

It was the first time for Yan Buzhou to see the night-hustle of the official team, and it happened that after a meal, it was better to walk around to see something new.

From the east to the south, the ghost exorcist team danced happily all the way, which made her wonder, would there be real monsters mixed in to join in the fun?It's also a good thing that Zhan Zhao is working for the Kaifeng Mansion and not for the Imperial Forest Army, otherwise he will be busy on New Year's Eve next year.

The next moment, it seemed that Cao Cao Cao Cao had arrived.Zhan Zhao's voice sounded from around the corner, "A Yan, are you from Ansu Gate?"

Yan Buzhou saw Zhan Zhao in the crowd, and secretly thought that some people showed up because they couldn't stand the nagging.It was also a bit of a surprise that Zhan Zhao would be at Xiatuqiao, which was a bit far from the address of the inn he said before, which was one south and one north.

"I just moved to the vicinity of Donghua Gate in the morning, and I just walked around to see the excitement. I haven't seen you for several months, and I haven't congratulated Mr. Zhan on his promotion. Mr. Zhan is very interested. He came to Xiatu Bridge from Beiwai City to watch the evil spirits."

"Congratulations? Where does the joy come from?" Zhan Zhao didn't feel a little happy about being an official in the court.This matter was not his original wish, but he could not refuse Bao Zheng's kind invitation, and he also recognized that entering the public school can do more things for the people, not to mention that the emperor even issued an imperial title.

As soon as he entered the public school, there were some things that he couldn't explain clearly to his former friends in the world.

After all, people in the Jianghu are used to freedom, and they can't understand the rules of the Gongmen, but how can they explain it clearly to their colleagues in Kaifeng Mansion.

At the moment, Zhan Zhao blurted out the words "where did the joy come from?" It was the first time he had expressed a little depression after receiving the appointment, but he didn't want to talk too much about it. Since he had already accepted the appointment, he didn't need to complain anymore.

"I didn't come here specially to see the evil spirits. I changed to a different inn these days, which is next to Huixianguan."

Zhan Zhao pointed at the opposite corner, and smiled, "It's a good thing we met tonight, otherwise, I'm afraid it would be a waste of time to pay a New Year's greeting to Ah Yan tomorrow."

Yan Buzhou somehow guessed that Zhan Zhao prefers the freedom of the world, and there is no pot that he can't open or lift.She wondered why Zhan Zhao didn't find one near Kaifeng Mansion since he changed the inn.This person is smiling so nicely now, maybe he wants something else. "Just looking for me to pay New Year's greetings? You have nothing else to do?"

Zhan Zhao still nodded slowly, "There is indeed a non-urgent matter that I need to ask Ah Yan for help. I bought the land in Huixianguan, and when I build a house later in the year, I will also ask Ah Yan to help me. Point out one or two."

The so-called advice is to find out where there are still evil spirits left, and whether they can all be purified.

"You bought it!" Yan Buzhou couldn't help looking up and down at Zhan Zhao.It's no wonder that he is poor and rich in martial arts. I don't see how luxurious this person usually enjoys, but he can get 1 taels in one shot.

Zhan Zhao saw that the expression was complicated, and he told the truth, "Since I work in Kaifeng, I will live in Bianjing for a long time. The price of this land is cheap now, and what other people are worried about, Ah Yan is in the capital." Not a problem. Why should I hesitate?"

Can Yan Buzhou say that she has experienced an inhumane experience?I also want to thank Zhan Zhao for believing in her ability.

"You don't need to hesitate, just take the shot when it's time to take the shot. If you come across this, just take a look. I haven't been here since the last time I searched Bai Yi Dan's room."

The two left the bustling street where the exorcist team was marching, turned into the alley and walked towards the Yuanhui Xianguan.There is only a circle of outer walls that have not been demolished, and not a single floor tile inside has been leveled.

However, at this time, there were sparse sounds from the cracks under the wall, which made the two of them stop. Didn't it mean that there was nothing inside?

Not long after, a fluffy puppy head protruded from the crack. It had dark red fur, fluffy and clean, not like a stray dog ​​at all.The hole under the wall was a bit small, and the little fat dog got out after twisting for a while.As soon as it came out of the hole, the dog froze, and it found that there were two pairs of human feet in front of it.

The little fat dog raised his head blankly, and when he saw the person coming, he was so frightened that his hind legs limp and sat on the ground.Goutou turned to the left and glanced at Yan Buzhou, then turned to the right to glance at Zhan Zhao, as if mustering up the courage to stand up again, he trotted towards Zhan Zhao's position.

Before Zhan Zhao figured out what the little fat dog, which was less than a foot long, was trying to do, he had just stepped back when he saw the little fat dog running up to him, and fell down on his side on the flat ground.

This makes the dog completely dizzy with his eyes closed.

Yan Buzhou blinked, this dog has a faint evil spirit, obviously it is not a simple dog.But let her laugh for a while first, I just witnessed a little fat dog touching porcelain royal cat.

"Brother Zhan, you were touched by a little fat dog, how do you feel?"
