[mouse cat] special way

In the Nanqing Palace, the Eighth Prince Zhao Defang was also playing with the same porcelain vase. He had been sitting silently for a long time, so long that everyone waiting outside was uneasy.

The old butler wiped the sweat from his forehead, and took a sneak peek into the room: the prince's face was ashen, and the veins on the back of his hands were exposed, as if he was about to crush the porcelain bottle in his hand.

He knew that the prince was angry, and it was only related to the one in the palace.This kind of anger is like a mountain fire after an earthquake, suppressing the erupting power, at first glance it looks the same as usual, but the hot flames hidden below will destroy everything.

"Come on."

The old butler was startled by the sudden deep voice, he hurriedly responded and straightened his clothes quickly.

"My lord please tell me."

"Prepare the sedan chair, the king is going into the palace."

After a stick of incense, the Eighth Prince is already in court clothes.After thinking for a while, he put the porcelain vase in his arms, flung his robe sleeves and got on the sedan chair.And this time, Zhao Jue also left the teahouse and went to Jing'an Xiaozhu.

Right now, everyone is busy, but each has its own merits.

Probably because he ate too much at noon, and the cool breeze was blowing really comfortably, Bai Yutang only felt very sleepy, but he drank too much tea, which made him want to sleep but couldn't fall asleep. Waking up in a dazed state is really exhausting, and the foot-high pile of ledgers is even more of a headache for him.

That kid Yunsheng handles his affairs well and keeps his books carefully, but it's a nuisance if so many accounts are piled up under his nose all at once.Alas, growing up so big, it was the first time that Bai Yutang felt that the family business was too big, and the business was too good to be a trouble, and it was time-consuming and labor-intensive to take care of it.

If he had known earlier, he should have asked Yunsheng to pack these ledgers back home, but when he thought of his nephew's unhappy look, Bai Yutang's heart softened for some reason.It is very lucky to be able to escape from this royal conspiracy. Although the official punishment is not severe, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the official career of those two people has come to an end.

How could someone as smart as Bai Yunsheng not understand the meaning behind it?Therefore, he set off to return to Jinhua three days ago, the Li family was finished, and there were no demon moths in the side branches of the Bai family, so he should still be a simple businessman.

and so……

All the business of the Bai family in Bianliang is left to Bai Yutang...

"These account books are just a piece of cake for you." Someone smiled honestly, "Anyway, second uncle, you are idle, so why don't you help your nephew look at the account books, so as not to bother Mr. Zhan all the time."

What does it mean to be idle and idle, a piece of cake?How much time he wasted in teasing cats!

These killing books!

Complaints belong to complaints, and the things that should be done will not become less just because of complaining.Bai Yutang poured down who knows how many bowls of tea soup, resignedly checked the ledger, picked up a pen to write and draw on the paper from time to time, and the time passed unknowingly.

After fighting alone for several hours, he finally sorted out all the ledgers. Bai Yutang yawned, stretched and felt sleepy again. Life without cats is hard...

He thumped his sore shoulder, thinking about whether to go out to find Zhan Zhao who was patrolling the street, when he heard a rumbling thunder outside the window, low and hoarse.When I looked up, I could see the dark clouds and waves rolling, and I was afraid that it would rain cats and dogs in an instant.

The weather is getting really fast.It was still sunny in the morning, but it rained heavily in the afternoon.

Remembering that Zhan Zhao went out without rain gear, Bai Yutang casually took an oil-paper umbrella and was about to go out, but that man called off work early and returned home.

"Huh, Yutang, have you finished it yet? So fast?" Zhan Zhao's hair was wet, and the official uniform on his body was still dripping, obviously soaked through.

Bai Yutang threw away his umbrella, frowned and said, "It's not raining yet, cat, where did you get all the water? Did you forget that Mr. Gongsun said you can't catch the cold? Hurry up and take a hot bath to drive away the cold." .” Immediately took out a change of clothes, and pushed the unconscious person to the bathroom.

"Saved a civilian who fell into the water." Zhan Zhao was helpless, didn't he rush back immediately to change his clothes?

"Just you landlubber..." Bai Yutang curled his lips, raised his hand to pour the third bucket of water into the bathtub, clapped his hands and said, "What are you still doing standing there, are you using a small waiter to undress Mrs. Zhan?" He raised his sword eyebrows, It really came together.

Zhan Zhao squinted at him, seeing that this person didn't have the self-consciousness to go out to avoid suspicion, so he didn't want to just take off his clothes like this.

At this time, the sky that had been gloomy for a long time finally began to rain.Thunder chased a few bolts of lightning and passed by, the sound of rain outside the window became louder and louder, and soon there was a torrential rain, and the strong wind blew open the doors and windows of the bathroom room, bringing in a burst of cold air.

In the strong wind, Zhan Zhao shivered slightly. Although his movements were slight, they could not escape the eyes of others.Bai Yutang didn't bother to get angry with him, and hurriedly walked out with the bucket: "Well, I don't want to look at it. You go in and make some bubbles, and I'll get you another bucket of water."

When Bai Yutang came back, Master Mao was already leaning comfortably in the bathtub.The man's black hair was scattered on the edge of the bathtub, still dripping water, and the window next to him was blown halfway, but he didn't care.

"Lazy cat, I don't even know that half of the window is open. Master Bai saw nothing wrong, so don't make it easy for others." Bai Yutang slammed the window shut, pulled a dry cloth towel and headed towards Zhan Zhao. Put on the mask, "The hair is still dripping and I don't wipe it. Be careful of headaches."

"Bai Yutang, what nonsense are you talking about..." Zhan Zhao hilariously blocked the mischievous hands on his forehead, "You don't need to wipe your hair if it's soaked through, I'll just wash it later."

"I'm afraid you'll forget it when you get busy later, so I'd better wipe it off first." Bai Yutang gently pressed the cloth towel in his hand, as if treating some rare treasure, and the water droplets on his shiny black hair were quickly absorbed clean up.

Zhan Zhao pursed his lips and smiled at this awkward mouse, but let him play with it on the head in a gentle way: "Then I will trouble you~" He closed his eyes slightly, and shrank into the water again.

The bathroom was filled with the unique bitterness of herbs, and the faces of the two were blurred by the rising steam.It was still stormy outside the window, but inside it was warm and peaceful.

While wiping his hair, Bai Yutang chatted with Zhan Zhao without saying a word.Today he buried himself in the study all day to check the accounts, and he never moved the nest except for eating, and there was no one around him to help him, which made him very bored.I wanted to ask Zhan Zhao to care, but I didn't expect that the cat not only didn't sympathize with him, but laughed instead.

Bai Yutang felt a little wronged, he was indeed proficient in organ formations, and had dabbled in Qimen Dunjia, but this didn't mean he was proficient in calculations.Speaking of which, Bai Yutang looked down at Mr. Mao who was soaking in the medicine soup. This guy must be the one who is so good at calculating accounts.You must know that there is no special accountant in Kaifeng Mansion, only apprentices who are responsible for recording expenses.It's not that the Kaifeng government is short of money to hire people, but that most people can't keep up with Mr. Gongsun's rhythm of settlement—except Zhan Zhao, who is young and blue.

If there is no interference from foreign affairs, these two people can sort out all the accounts of Kaifeng Mansion for one year within half a day.Therefore, the Kaifeng Mansion never worried about the accounting issues, just spare an afternoon, and the clean and orderly accounts will be released.

Having said that, Mr. Gongsun is also a genius. In addition to his obsession with mathematics, the ability of the second-hand bookcase to answer questions with evidence is admirable.Sometimes Bai Yutang also thinks, Mr. Bao is really lucky. From the fact that he is often "bullied" by Mr. Gongsun, it can be seen that he is not as good as Gongsun Ce in some aspects.However, he was able to gather a group of loyal subordinates around him, and let such powerful people as Mr. Gongsun and Zhan Zhao follow him all the way. Maybe this is a kind of ability in itself.

Uh, I also joined the Kaifeng Mansion, so it seems that I shouldn't read Mr. Bao's jokes.

Bai Yutang was lost in thought, and suddenly realized that he had strayed far from the topic. He was talking about the ledger, but it turned out to be Mr. Bao.snort!It's all the fault of the ledger, Bai... Yun... Sheng...

"Ah..." Thousands of miles away, Bai Yunsheng sneezed several times in a row.

"Grandfather? Do you want some more clothes?"

"No need." Bai Yunsheng rubbed his nose, "Probably someone is not good at teasing cats, so speak ill of me."

"Teasing the cat?"

Cough cough... Uncle Mo Ruo nephew... Mr. Bai, you've got the truth!

"Hey, hello, lazy cat?" After talking for a long time, the people in the water didn't respond at all, Bai Yutang gently removed the cloth towel.

The man leaned against the edge of the tub, his chest rose and fell slightly, his lips were slightly parted, and he slept soundly.

What a lazy cat... However, this period of time has really exhausted him.

Bai Yutang squatted down, admiring Zhan Zhao's peaceful sleeping face: Although the back of the hair was half-dried, there were still a few strands of black hair scattered around, a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows under the smooth and full forehead, long eyelashes covering the deep eyes, With that handsome nose and moist lips...

Moisturized...lips...

Bai Yutang's heart fluttered, and the soft part of his chest throbbed accordingly. The sound of wind and rain seemed to be fading away, and his ears were filled with the most primitive throbbing of his heart——

"Bang, bang, bang, bang—"

Well, it seems...it's...a chance to steal...a kiss...

But...would it wake up the cat...he was already very tired...and fell asleep without drinking that bitter tranquilizer...how rare...

Uh...if...if you're careful...it shouldn't matter...

Bai Yutang hesitated, hesitantly, not only wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to steal fragrance, but also felt sorry for Zhan Zhao's hard-won sleep.He was in such a dilemma for a while, his legs were numb from squatting.Bai Wuye has never been so timid, he has always been in a hurry, and he dares to be the master.I just met Zhan Zhao...Zhan Zhao...

Mao'er is too serious, and his martial arts are on par with him. It is harder to steal fragrance from this person than anything else!

When was the last time you ate tofu?It seems that Mr. Gongsun took heavy medicine and Zhan Zhao fell asleep.

But when he thought of the cat wiping its face in a daze after he kissed it, and saying "Why are there mosquitoes?" Bai Yutang couldn't help but burst into tears...

It shouldn't happen this time, right?

Bai Yutang clenched his fists, yes!Be gentle with your hands and feet, it doesn't matter!You have to have confidence in yourself, how could he not be sure of this level of strength!If you get a chance, kiss me! ! !

The mouse in white took a deep breath, held his breath, and slowly approached that serene face.

There are three inches...

two inches...

an inch...

"Brother Zhan! Are you inside?!" Zhao Hu's characteristic loud voice came from outside the door, and then he slammed on the door, "Brother Zhan?! Are you there? Just answer~Gongsun Find sir!"

Bai Yutang breathed a sigh of relief in shock, holding on to the rim of the bucket and coughing.

With such a loud voice, the dead will wake up, let alone Zhan Zhao, who is not a good sleeper.Zhan Zhao woke up immediately, and he replied in a daze, "Yes, I'll be right away." Then he got up from the bathtub, and when he saw Bai Yutang, he asked suspiciously, "...Yutang, what are you doing? ?”

"It's nothing, Mao'er, your clothes..." Bai Yutang burst into tears——Zhao Hu, can't you come later...

After Zhan Zhao finished dressing, poor Comrade Zhao Hu was "entrusted" by Bai Yutang to clean up the bathroom, and the two went to find Gongsun Ce together.When Zhan Zhao walked into the study with his robe lifted, a gust of drafts blew his hair, Bai Yutang's eyes were sharp, and he saw the blue mark from before behind Zhan Zhao's ear.

"Cat, I saw it again!" He caught it this time!

"This should be a very special tattoo." Gongsun Ce pinched Zhan Zhao's ear and looked at it for a while, the color of the tattoo was already very pale.

"Tattoos?" Bao Zheng asked, "Xiao Zhao, have you ever had tattoos before?"

"No." Zhan Zhao was about to shake his head, but realized that his ears were still pinched, he answered, thought for a while and added, "This subordinate has never had a tattoo."

"I'm sure I haven't seen it before. This tattoo appears and disappears from time to time, including now it has only appeared twice." Bai Yutang looked at Gongsun Ce, who was looking solemn, and asked, "Mr. Gongsun, is there any tattoo on this tattoo?" What's the problem?"

Gongsun Ce shook his head, let go of his hand and came to the table to draw a few strokes with a brush, and then narrowed his eyes to change a few strokes.

"Gongsun, what's the matter with Xiao Zhao?" Seeing that Gongsun Ce's expression was really strange, Bao Zheng also went to him to observe.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also surrounded him.

Gongsun Ce shook his hand, pointed to the pattern on the paper and asked, "Do you think this looks like a word?"

Bai Yutang turned his head to look for a long time, frowned and said, "It seems to be a word."

"Well, I think so too." Gongsun Ce nodded, "It's just that I saw it too late, and the mark was almost gone."

Bai Yutang flew over and tugged at Zhan Zhao's ear: "I can't see it anymore. What exactly is this?"

Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang, touched his reddened ears and said, "I don't want to bother you about this trivial matter. This subordinate thinks that you should first talk about the matter of calling us here."

"It is true that the big things should be the most important." Bao Zheng nodded and returned to his seat, picked up the tea and said to Zhan Zhao, "But Xiao Zhao, your matter is not a small matter."

Bai Yutang curled his lips, and muttered in a low voice, "Master Bao is not bad~", Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, but didn't answer.

Gongsun Ce was still standing by the table, frowning, as if he was remembering something.

"Gongsun?" Bao Zheng wondered, why are you still thinking, is this serious?

"I remembered!" Gongsun Ce clapped his hands, walked quickly to the bookcase and took out a book, "Sir, do you know 'flowing clouds and flowing water'?"

Flowing like clouds and flowing water?

what is this?
