103. One zero three
A few years ago, Mrs. Bai took her young son back to her parents' house to visit relatives, but Bai Jintang was stumped by things and did not accompany her, but she didn't expect that this was a trap carefully set by someone. On the way back to her mother's house, Mrs. Bai and her party were robbed and killed, and the guards around them only used their fists and feet, and the people who could do it were also crawling in the rivers and lakes. Although it can resist, it is only like a mantis arm blocking the car, a drop in the bucket.
In the end, the Bai family's guards were all killed, and Mrs. Bai had already turned over the contents of the secret cabinet in the carriage to make room for her son to hide in. No matter which way the person came, when things were done at this point, they would naturally not show mercy, Madame Bai was stabbed several times, and when she was desperate, Hua Manlou, who was also in a hurry but heard the sound of fighting in the distance and noticed that something was wrong, rushed over.
Those people can crush the guards, but they are not even third-rate masters in the rivers and lakes, and it doesn't take much effort to solve it with Hua Manlou, and after subduing them, they all clicked on the points and let them fall to the ground. He didn't come early, but it wasn't too late, Mrs. Bai was seriously injured but saved her life, and Bai Yunsheng, who finally heard his mother's painful cry, crawled out of the dark cabinet and took a look at the heroic appearance of the flowery building.
From then on, the big hero in his heart was no longer his father Bai Jintang, nor his uncle Bai Yutang, but Hua Manlou, who was held by his leg and wanted to apprentice.
Zhan Zhao seemed to remember something, "No wonder Bai Daxia moved a little more in the rivers and lakes a few years ago. ”
It's just a humble remark, Bai Jintang almost didn't turn over half of the rivers and lakes at that time, Zhan Zhao vaguely heard some rumors, and before he had time to inquire about anything, Bai Jintang ended it suddenly like when he suddenly made a move.
"Since those rats dare to provoke my Bai family, they naturally know the consequences of doing it." Bai Yutang was still a little angry when he talked about this matter, "If it weren't for Qitong, my family still doesn't know what would have happened." He was soft-handed, and he always wanted to leave a leeway in doing things, so that the eldest brother left the group of people with a dog's life and threw everyone into the yamen. ”
Of course, the last ones didn't end well.
This approach is very much to Zhanzhao's appetite, "Such a character, please also ask Brother Bai to introduce you." ”
Bai Yutang snorted loudly, and remembered that this cat was also raised by the Yamen, "You two can get along!" Although he said this, he didn't refuse, he originally planned to introduce these two people to each other.
"Since Brother Bai said so, it must not be wrong." Zhan Zhao smiled good-naturedly.
Bai Yutang said that he was unhappy, so he skipped some things and waited to see Zhanzhao's surprised look when he saw Hua Manlou.
Hua Manlou is stroking the piano, he will stroke the piano when he is in a happy mood, he will stroke the piano when he is depressed, he will stroke the piano when he cultivates his sentiments, and when he has nothing to do...... I can also play the piano. Expressing his heartfelt feelings with the qin, Bai Yutang heard the sound of the piano from a distance, and concluded: "It seems that Qitong has been in a good mood recently." ”
In the middle of the night, the sound of the piano stopped, and the sound of the flower building came from afar: "There are friends from afar, and they don't want to say anything." Why didn't Brother Bai go inside? ”
"Naturally, I'm afraid of disturbing your Yaxing who plays the piano and plays the music." Bai Yutang laughed, picked up the light work and went directly over the wall to enter the hospital, and happened to stop in front of Hua Manlou.
Zhan Zhao followed.
Hua Manlou had a smile on his face, and was about to speak, but he paused again, "Brother Bai also brought a friend?" The landing was silent, if he hadn't heard the sound of clothes flying, I'm afraid he wouldn't have noticed it for a while. Not to mention anything else, just by virtue of this light skill, the person who came to the rivers and lakes is by no means unknown.
"In Xia Zhanzhao, I've seen Brother Hua." As soon as Zhanzhao saw the flowers full of buildings, he was impressed by his temperament. He likes to make friends, and when he heard about Hua Manlou's deeds from Bai Yutang, he was naturally even more happy.
"Zhanzhao?" This name turned around in Hua Manlou's mind, and he quickly matched a person, "But Nanxia Zhanzhao?" ”
"It's time to call it the Royal Cat Zhanzhao." Bai Yutang said deliberately.
Hua Manlou didn't know why the emperor gave people the title of a royal cat, but at this time, when he heard Bai Yutang deliberately provoke such a thorn, he felt a little unkind, and he didn't want to embarrass his new friend, so he said: "It can be seen that it is specifically to kill you, a white mouse." ”
Bai Yutang couldn't help but jump to his feet, "Nonsense! Obviously, his stupid cat was trapped to death by the fifth master! The two of them had reconciled a long time ago, but in front of those who knew why he was hostile to Zhanzhao, he still wanted to save face.
Zhan Zhao suddenly smiled, "Brother Bai is very innocent and cute, and Zhan Mou can't say who is whom." ”
Bai Yutang directly fried his hair, this stinky cat actually dared to say that the fifth master was innocent and cute, since the fifth master was five years old, no one dared to say so in front of him.
Hua Manlou listened to the movement of you coming and going in the courtyard, and shook his head secretly, it seems that the rumors in the rivers and lakes are not credible, and they all say that Bai Yutang has been pestering Zhanzhao all these years just to make trouble for him, and at this time, seeing the two of them at the same time, Hua Manlou felt that the relationship between the two of them was not ordinarily good.
Before the winner of this playful competition could be decided, he was interrupted by Bai Yunsheng's surprised voice: "Uncle, you're back!" Is it specifically for Daddy's birthday? ”
Brother Bai Yutang looked at his little nephew's innocent eyes, his face was a little feverish, but he still held up his dignity as an uncle, "Since that's the case, I also brought my friends to celebrate my birthday." Come, I've seen you Uncle Zhan. ”
Bai Yutang seemed to be just introducing friends to his family, but he was still apprehensive in his heart. The Bai family is considered to be a wealthy person in Jinhua, but his eldest brother is also a real Jianghu person, and the Jianghu people's evaluation of Zhanzhao is ......
Bai Yutang decided that if Xiao Yunsheng said that he didn't like it, he would definitely give him some love and teaching from the elders.
However, Bai Yunsheng did not disappoint him, the child raised his head and looked at Zhanzhao with a little star: "Is it Uncle Zhanzhao Zhan from Kaifeng Mansion?" ”
"It's Zhan." Zhanzhao's smile was gentle.
This kind of gentle and careful look is somewhat similar to Hua Manlou, Bai Yunsheng found a familiar feeling, and also relaxed, "I have long known Uncle Zhan's name, and Mr. said that Uncle Zhan is a great person who sacrifices small righteousness and takes great righteousness." ”
Bai Yunsheng's husband is Hua Manlou, and Hua Manlou's position, do you need to talk about it?
It's just that this childish words make Zhanzhao's heart extremely warm, he entered Kaifeng Mansion just to be worthy of his heart, the insults in the rivers and lakes don't understand, he has always ignored it, and now he is told by a child, even he can't be moved. Thinking of this, his gaze at Hua Manlou became even closer.
Bai Yutang grinded his teeth silently on the side, he only knew that Hua Manlou didn't speak ill of people on weekdays, and even if he didn't agree with some things, he wouldn't interfere with other people's ideas, but he didn't expect him to have such a high opinion of Zhanzhao. Although what he said was the truth, why did he look so unpleasant when the fifth master looked at the stinky cat's touched look.
Why is there an illusion that a hard-earned cat is going to run away to someone else's house?
It turned out that this was not Bai Yutang's delusion, but an incomparably accurate premonition. Zhan Zhao hit Hua Manlou at first sight, Bai Yutang is not a character who can be idle, the two of them are complementary personalities, but Hua Manlou has always been very stable, which makes Zhan Zhao have a kind of sympathy between the same kind, and Hua Manlou is open-minded, it is difficult for ordinary things to bother him, talking to him, Zhan Zhao has a feeling of sudden enlightenment, if it weren't for Bai Yutang reminding them that it was time to eat, the two would sooner or later develop into a night talk.
"Is it time for dinner?" Hua Manlou couldn't see it, and he had a good time with Zhanzhao, and he forgot the time for a while.
"It's already time to hold the lights." Zhan Zhao looked at the dancing candle flame and realized that he hadn't noticed.
"Huh." Bai Yutang, who had been ignored and couldn't interject from talking, sneered.
Bai Yunsheng held his chin on the side, watching very happily.
"It was my negligence." Hua Manlou stood up, "Why don't we go to dinner first?" ”
Bai Yutang immediately got up, "Quickly take out your Baihua wine, there are cats here, you can't be stingy." ”
"The housekeeper keeps it......" Before the words fell, Bai Yutang was gone.
Zhan Zhao said with a smile: "Others always say that the little mouse steals oil to eat, but this is the white mouse who wants to drink." ”
"That's good enough." Hua Manlou remembered Bai Yutang's behavior before, and shared with Zhanzhao, "In the past, in the courtyard, it was often not long after I buried the brewed wine in the ground, and it was secretly dug up and drunk by this rat that smelled the wine. If it weren't for the fact that he had been staying in Kaifeng Mansion with Brother Zhan in the past few years, I might not have been able to keep these ten jars of wine. ”
"He's such a quick temper." Zhan Zhao agreed.
"And he loves wine as much as he lives." Hua Manlou sighed, "If he has the opportunity to meet another friend of mine, they will definitely be able to become confidants, and they must have a lot to say about stealing my wine collection as well." ”
Speaking of this, Hua Manlou was a little depressed, I don't know if he can see Lu Xiaofeng in his lifetime.
A few days later, Bai Jintang, who received the news that his younger brother had gone home to celebrate his birthday, also rushed back, and Bai Yutang was surprised to see him: "Didn't the housekeeper say that the eldest brother went out for at least half a month?" ”
Bai Jintang suppressed the joy in his heart, and said with a straight face: "I'm just afraid that if I come back in half a month, you will disappear again." ”
Bai Yutang was a little weak-hearted.
Bai Jintang ignored him anymore and instead exchanged greetings with Zhanzhao. Although the people in the rivers and lakes now depreciate Zhanzhao more than praise, as far as Bai Jintang is concerned, he is very happy to have a rope to tie up his younger brother who likes to cause trouble.
So, Zhanzhao met a pleasant white brother.
After washing away the dust, Bai Jintang brought people together, several outstanding young people got together, there were too many things to talk about, especially Bai Jintang was not a simple Jianghu person, and there was no rejection of the government. In other words, for the sake of his family's business, he is more willing to say hello to the government, although Kaifeng Mansion is not close to Jinhua, but many friends are always right.
While thinking about it, Bai Jintang's gaze inadvertently turned to Hua Manlou, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Qitong, you may be able to ask Brother Zhan to help you with that matter." ”
Zhan Zhao came to the spirit, "I don't know what, Zhan is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”
Hua Manlou hesitated for a moment, "It's looking for someone." ”
"Who are you looking for?" Although he is at a loss to find Li Niangniang, in fact, Zhanzhao is still very experienced in finding people.
"It's my brother." Hua Manlou seemed to be considering, "His surname is Yu Mingsheng, and he was separated from me due to an accident, I only know that he will do business, and the business is not small." ”
Bai Jintang sighed secretly, he always felt that Qitong had been deceived, and his business was not small, but if there was really a rich businessman surnamed Yu, how could he not know. Now that he is turning to Zhanzhao, he just wants to use him to check whether there is such a person as Yusheng, and as for the other conditions, they have long been abandoned by Bai Jintang.
Zhan Zhao agreed very happily, but was called by Bai Jintang to remind him separately afterwards.
Bai Jintang's original intention was not to want Zhanzhao to do more useless work, but Zhanzhao himself is a careful person, and he has been by Bao Zheng's side for a long time, so he can be regarded as sensitive to certain things. Hua Manlou's vague words made him feel that there was something else going on in this matter, and he should ask more about others at the moment.
"Qitong still has an aunt by her side, but she is weak and not common, maybe you can learn something from her." As soon as Bai Jintang was reminded, he immediately thought of the candidate, and secretly annoyed that he hadn't thought of it for so many years, "When Qitong rescued Humble Jing, she stayed with this aunt, and she should know the Yusheng that Qitong wanted to find." ”
Zhan Zhao was very interested in his new friends, and immediately took action, and Bai Yutang naturally did not fall behind.
"Brother Bai, have you seen that aunt of Brother Hua?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"There is only one side." Bai Yutang replied, "I only know that her surname is Li, she is a widow, and later she was blind because her son was gone. ”
