Zhong Gu laughed out loud. Whenever he mentioned these people, he really missed the days when they studied and rode and shot together in their childhood.

"You must get drunk today!"

"That's natural!"

The Zhong family was originally from Bian Jing, but moved to Jingzhao with their father in the early years, and the ancestral home was left to the care of the elder sister who married into the Prince's Mansion of Runan County.

However, no one lived in the house for many years and many things were not purchased, so Zhao Chengyan brought Zhong Gu back to his own house. There were many empty houses, and he could choose the one he liked.

Zhong Gu strolled around, sighing, and coaxed Zhao Chengyan to sell his house. The silver he got from it would enrich the national treasury and be enough to fight a small war.

Zhao Chengyan laughed and scolded him for having bad intentions and for coveting his money and house as soon as he came, and drove him to take a bath and change his clothes.

Zhao Chengyan also changed into an ordinary lounge suit. Today he was dressed like this for Yun Qing to see. It would be a shame if anyone else looked at him for even a second.

Who would have thought that by the time Zhao Shijin and Zhang Youzheng arrived, Zhong Gu had not yet come out of his shower.

The three of them walked away chatting and laughing. When they pushed the door open, they saw him soaking in the bathtub, sleeping with his head tilted back and his mouth open.

Among the four of them who grew up together, only Zhong Gu did not stay in Bian Jing. Looking at the new and old scars on his chest and arms, one can know how he has survived these years.

Everyone was considerate of him. Zhao Chengyan called a little servant and asked him to refill Zhong Gu's bath with hot water from time to time, and asked him to soak for a while longer.

The noon banquet could be moved to the night. Except for Zhang Youzheng, everyone else present was idle and could naturally wait.

It was not far from Zhao Chengyan's residence to the Imperial College, so Zhang Youzheng strolled there by himself, carrying his books, and waited to come back to eat at the rich man's house at night.

Knowing that the drinking party was moved to night time, Zhong Gu did not bother to be polite with Zhao Chengyan. He was extremely tired after traveling for so many days. He asked someone to inform Zhao Chengyan, then he ate a few bites of food and went to sleep.

When I woke up again, it was dark and the room was pitch black.

Zhong Gu was a little drowsy in his sleep. When he rubbed his face and turned over, he suddenly found a soft, warm, furry little thing in his arms.

He reached out and touched it, and the little thing chirped.

The eight-foot-tall, dark-faced man Zhong Gu was so frightened that he screamed and jumped three feet high.

The slaves outside heard the noise and hurried in with lights on. What they saw was a little kitten pushing the little general to the foot of the bed and making him tremble.

Zhao Shijin's laughter was heard outside the door, followed by Zhao Chengyan and Zhang Youzheng.

It's no wonder that a few people laughed, it's just that the scene was really funny, not to mention that the guy got into bed right after taking a shower and now he's naked...

The hairy legs are also very eye-catching.

Zhao Shijin walked forward, picked up the kitten, and returned it to the white cat A-niang who was spinning anxiously under his feet.

This kind of person is very good at choosing a place. Zhao Shijin had let the white cat and its two cubs live in this small courtyard. In the afternoon, the white cat went out and left the two cubs at home. Who would have thought that an uninvited guest would move in.

Although cats usually don't go into the house and go to the bed, maybe the kitten was looking for its mother. It crawled all over the yard, and probably felt that it was warm around it, so it got into his bed.

"Aren't you afraid of mice? Why are you afraid of kittens now?"

Zhao Shijin handed the clothes beside him to someone, and put them on in front of everyone without any shame.

"Well, I thought it was a mouse. I heard a chirping sound and it was pitch dark. How could I not be scared?"

"Why do you keep a litter of cats at home, Ah Yan? Didn't you always dislike cats when you were a child?"

Zhao Chengyan really had no affinity with animals before he met his little monster.

Not to mention cats, even dogs wouldn't wag their tails at him. He once raised a bird, but it died soon after for unknown reasons. Since then, he never talked about raising anything again.

People say cats have spirits. Maybe these little creatures saw through him and knew that he was not a good person.

But things are different now.

Zhao Chengyan was not showing off.

"Things are different now. The cats are very kind to me now. They come over to eat something from time to time before leaving. It's all because of my good wife, and the cats think I'm good too."

Zhong Gu only half understood what was said and thought that Mrs. Tuan was a human being. He was so curious that he winked at Zhao Chengyan.

"This is incredible. You who didn't raise a cat now have one, and you who didn't like women now have a companion. Who knows, when I come back next time, your children may be running around. I wonder which young lady is so capable?"

Zhao Shijin couldn't help but laugh first: "What do you mean by Jiao Niang? My uncle has a cat called Tuan Niangzi. What's the matter? Are you expecting Tuan Niangzi to give birth to a litter of kittens for my uncle?"

"What nonsense! You're acting stupid before you even have a drink!"

Zhao Chengyan couldn't stand people teasing his little monster like that, so he urged them to go to his main courtyard to eat.

Just after leaving the courtyard, Zhang Youzheng came to watch the fun and told about what he saw and heard at Qingxi Bookstore today.

"Mrs. Tuan is not a delicate lady, but I think Ah Yan has someone else in his heart. Ah Yan has always been stingy with his calligraphy, but today he gave away four pairs of calligraphy at once!"

"Even several adults in the Imperial College were alarmed. I originally thought it was a gimmick spread by Madam Liu for business, but who would have thought that when I went to take a look, it turned out to be true!"

Zhao Shijin and Zhong Gu became very excited upon hearing this and insisted that Zhao Chengyan come up with an answer.

If you don't want to say anything, just drink to your heart's content. Today, several people just tried to get Zhao Chengyan drunk, and in the end, they still had to carry him to the bed.

Zhong Gu was just about to call Mao'er to come over and help their husband undress, but when he opened the door, he saw a cat with a tortoise shell pattern on its head sitting upright at the door.

This kitten is several times cuter than the one that crawled into the quilt today. Zhong Gu couldn't help but raise his hand to touch it, but the cat dodged cleverly and ran straight to the bedroom to look at Zhao Chengyan.

Seeing that the kitten didn't mind Zhao Chengyan's drunkenness and was arching his neck to act coquettishly, Zhong Gu was so envious.

Now I finally figured out who the cat in front of me was.

He leaned over and tentatively called out "Tuan Niangzi", and only then did the cat look at him straight in the eye and sniff his outstretched hand, without showing any energy to act coquettishly or clingy.

Looking at Mrs. Tuan's amber eyes again, Zhong Gu felt that she seemed particularly human. It was no use trying to coax her with snacks. Finally, Mao'er came and brought new food, and Mrs. Tuan finally accepted it.

How strange!

Zhong Gu was not able to get close to Tuan Niang, which was more and more strange to him. However, he did not want to disturb Zhao Chengyan's rest, so he had to inform Tuan Niang and come to play with her tomorrow.

He said that he would play with Tuan Niangzi tomorrow, but Zhong Gu went to the palace to see the emperor early in the morning. Even if the city wall was to be repaired, there had to be a plan, and they had to talk about it.

In the afternoon, Zhao Chengyan took him to "accidentally" encounter Shi Er Lang having a secret meeting with his mistress, and beat Shi Er Lang up in the street.

When my sister had just gotten married, the Qi Langjun incident happened. Twelve Lang had an affair with the maid beside him, and caused his bride to give birth to a son just three months after she got married. It was simply unbelievable!
