Kaifeng Monster

Chapter 132

"Zhan Zhao, have you really thought it through?"

Zhan Zhaofang skimmed up to the roof, and threw a wine jar towards him.Zhan Zhao raised his hand to catch it, and when he looked down, Bai Yutang was lazily leaning on the ridge of the roof, his legs raised high, holding another jar of wine in his hand, which had already been unsealed.

His long and narrow phoenix eyes narrowed, a narrow smile flashed across his eyes, and he repeated the question again: "Zhan Zhao, have you really thought it through?"

The corners of Zhan Zhao's lips raised a slight smile: "Why, you beat Brother Bai, is Brother Bai unhappy?"

"Tch." Bai Yutang snorted.

After a pause, he continued: "Zhan Zhao, you're such a good relative, you're very impressive. I heard that the emperor even gave him a house?"

Zhan Zhao smiled: "Yes."

"I also heard that relatives and friends from all over the world are invited?"

"Yes." Zhan Zhao nodded, "Duanmu likes to be lively."

Bai Yutang snorted: "Then what about her, no one came?"

Zhan Zhao's eyelashes drooped slightly, but he didn't respond.

"Some people with good things in the rivers and lakes have already asked around. What is the origin of Nan Xia's wife who has never been in the family? They only say that she is the master of Xihualiu. Xihualiu has been active in the past two years, but what is it for? No one can really explain. How does the bride look like, what is her family background, what is her character, whether she is worthy of Nan Xia, and whether Nan Xia is worthy of her—these are all hot topics in the world."

"Brother Bai is also interested in this?"

"What am I interested in?" Bai Yutang rolled his eyes at Zhan Zhao, "Don't forget, I met that girl before, not to mention her bad temper, she was also very arrogant, so I ask you, have you really thought it through? ?”

Zhan Zhao took a selfie to open the mud seal of the wine jar, raised his head and took a drink, with the light moonlight on his shoulders, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he didn't look at Bai Yutang: "What exactly do you want to know?"

"Is there a need to ask?" Bai Yutang rested his hands comfortably on the back of his neck, "There are many beauties in Jianghu who miss Nanxia. There are basket after basket of beauties with good looks, good family background and gentle temperament. What, don't look any more?"

"I won't watch it." Zhan Zhao smiled narrowly, "I'm dizzy after watching too much, since Brother Bai likes it, let's keep it and watch it slowly."

"Yes, Fifth Master is thinking of you, you won't listen to it." Bai Yutang spread his hands, "That can't be helped. In the future, if you regret it and bang your head against the wall, don't complain to Fifth Master."

"Definitely not." A smile appeared in Zhan Zhao's eyes.

Bai Yutang was bored, so his expression became a bit sullen: "The date has been set? The ugly words are up front. When the date comes, my brothers and I will just drink and eat, and we won't listen to your random orders."

It was late at night, and Duanmucui was still asleep. She rested her chin and looked at the busy little blue and white flowers on the table, and yawned very untimely.

"When the time comes, the wine will be delivered by Taibai Building, with a deposit of 50 taels of silver paid in advance, and the gifts will be Nurhong and Pear Blossom White. Hmm, Pear Blossom White is not good, it is stained with white, and I will talk to Mr. Gongsun tomorrow...

"When the time comes, the mansion bestowed by the emperor will be usable. The banquet will be placed in the front yard? Then there will be twenty tables, no, thirty tables! Here are Zhan Zhao's family members, and here are people from Kaifeng Mansion. It is said that There are also friends from the rivers and lakes...

"When the time comes, will the bride leave from Kaifeng Mansion or from here? It will be more lively from Kaifeng Mansion, and the sedan chair will be easier to drive; this side is a little bit off, and it will be crowded when there are more people watching the excitement...

"Dowry, yes, there is also a dowry. Our gods marry, we pay attention to an aura! We must not lose to ordinary people, those dowry, put it in a hundred and eighty boxes..."

Duanmucui's upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and when Xiao Qinghua raised her eyes and saw her drowsy appearance, she immediately became dissatisfied.

It trotted all the way, crossed half of the table and walked in front of Duanmucui, and tugged at Duanmucui's sleeve: "Hey, master, master, will I marry Zhan Zhao or you will marry Zhan Zhao? Can you be more careful?"

Duanmucui was shaken awake by it for a moment, she glared at Xiao Qinghua: "I also said, I am not in a hurry whether I marry Zhan Zhao or you marry Zhan Zhao, why are you so anxious!"

Little Qinghua's eyes were about to pop out of her sockets: "The key is momentum, momentum! Master, you don't know that the mortal world pays attention to being well-matched, and Zhan Zhao's official is not young. Let's get married, and this ostentation can't be shown. flat..."

"I was the one who married!" Duanmucui reminded Xiao Qinghua that her wording was inappropriate.

"It's the same anyway." Xiao Qinghua waved her hand angrily, "Master, tell me, how much dowry do we want to receive?"

"No matter how much the dowry is, you still have to take it with you in the end." Duanmucui lost interest, "Stop busy work and go to sleep."

"Can't sleep!" Xiao Qinghua was so excited that she spit all over the place, "Tomorrow I will meet with Mr. Gongsun to discuss the marriage. Mr. Gongsun is in charge of Zhan Zhao's side, and I'm in charge of your side. I didn't do well what I was responsible for, Isn't it a joke?"

Duanmucui really wanted to cry: "Then what else do you want to watch?"

"Look at this!" Xiao Qinghua brought over the distribution map of the banquet that she had painted like a ghostly talisman just now, "Look, twenty tables...is thirty tables enough?"

Duanmucui picked up the picture and looked at it carefully, Xiao Qinghua stretched her neck and waited for Duanmucui to show her with piercing eyes, but Duanmucui suddenly threw the picture away.

"Whether it's thirty tables or three hundred tables, they are all Zhan Zhao's relatives and friends, not mine."

"How could it be?" Xiao Qinghua quickly flaunted her own value, "There are me, Dayin and Xiaoyi, there are three of them!"

"You?" Duanmucui said angrily, "You three are at the banquet, why are you afraid that you won't scare anyone to death?"

"Then what should I do?" Xiao Qinghua looked at her eagerly.

"I don't know." Duanmucui said angrily, "I won't marry."

"I seem to have heard a girl say that she is not married anymore." A familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door, and Zhan Zhao stepped in with a smile, "Duanmu couldn't have said that, could it?"

Duanmu Cui snorted and pointed his chin at Zhan Zhao.

Xiao Qinghua sighed, looked at Zhan Zhao and Duanmucui, then voluntarily climbed into the food box on the table, did not forget to put the lid on the food box, paused for a while, and then suddenly put the lid on Lifting it up: "Well... When you are done, call me."

Seeing that Zhan Zhao glanced at it, looking like he was going to show off his sleeves, Xiao Qinghua knew something was wrong, and put the lid on with a bang.

Zhan Zhao pulled Duanmucui closer, wrapped his arms around her waist lightly, and kissed her temples: "Aren't you married?"

"They're all your relatives and friends, it's boring." Duanmucui curled her lips, stretched out her hand to twirl Zhan Zhao's clothes, twirled and twirled, as if she wanted to twirl a hole there to relieve her anger.

"Who said that?" Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, with a look of surprise in his eyes, "Duanmu has relatives here, don't you know?"

"Yes?" Duanmucui was quite surprised, "Why don't I know, who is it?"

"Really don't know?" Zhan Zhao reached out and knocked her on the head, "Can't guess? Could it be a ball of paste in this brain?"

Duanmucui was unhappy: "Hey, Zhan Zhao."

Zhan Zhao suppressed a smile: "Go, I'll take you there."

Duanmucui couldn't help herself, and was dragged out by him: "Hey, Zhan Zhao, is this the eldest brother? When did the eldest brother come? Why didn't you tell me?"

The sound faded away.

a long time……

Xiao Qinghua's muffled voice came from the food box.

"Are you leaving?"

"Then can I come out?"

"Is it okay to squeak? I still have a lot of things to do..."

Zhan Zhao took Duanmucui all the way to the front of a tall mansion.

"Isn't this..." Duanmucui wondered, "Isn't this the mansion bestowed by the emperor?"

She stepped forward and pushed the door, which was locked.

"It has just been cleaned up in the past two days, and the furniture and other items will be delivered tomorrow. Only the janitor is left, and I am afraid he is asleep now." Zhan Zhao smiled, "Duanmu, let's walk through the wall."

"In my own house, I have to walk over the wall." Duanmucui muttered.

Zhan Zhao's heart warmed.

my home.

Those three very common words, with such a slightly complaining tone, were indescribably beneficial to the ears.

my home.

He repeated these three words again very lightly in his heart, he was not willing to say it, just kept it hidden.

Jump off the courtyard wall and enter the front yard in such a spacious way.Duanmucui came here for the first time, she took a few steps forward, and looked back at him: "Zhan Zhao, why did the emperor grant such a big house, where can we live?"

"Duanmu doesn't like it?" Zhan Zhao took two steps forward and stood next to her.

"No, I just prefer the house I live in now, it looks compact." Duanmucui frowned, "This house is so big, it will not be easy to call you for dinner in the future, if I am in the backyard and you are in the front yard, how can I call you you?" Can't hear you."

She put her hands around her mouth and mouthed to him: "Zhan Zhao eats, Zhan Zhao eats."

Zhan Zhao smiled and hugged her waist: "It's messing around again."

After all, she was still thinking about the previous matter, and she tugged on his sleeve and said, "Where's big brother?"

"Don't worry, since you're here, let's take a look around first."

Duanmucui suddenly became suspicious: "Zhan Zhao, you lied to me again, the elder brother is here, why did you look for you first?"

Zhan Zhao couldn't help saying, took her hand and walked forward: "I told you not to worry... Since it's my home, why don't you take a look first?"

Duanmucui couldn't resist him, so she had to follow him.Zhan Zhao pointed out to her one by one, here is the front yard, there is the back yard, here is the hall, and there is the bedroom.

Duanmucui couldn't hold back her breath, and when she reached the door of the bedroom, she refused to leave and grabbed Zhan Zhao, "Where's the eldest brother? I want to see the eldest brother."

Zhan Zhao looked at her with a smile: "I said Duanmu has relatives coming over, but I didn't say it was the elder brother."

"I knew it!" Duanmucui glared at him bitterly, "I knew what you were going to say, your relatives are my relatives, cunning!" She ignored Zhan Zhao, went straight to the steps and sat down angrily.

Zhan Zhao held back his laughter, sat down next to her in a serious manner, and said slowly after a while, "I don't mean to say that my relatives are your relatives... I just want to say that when the time comes, at the banquet table, Duanmu's husband is here, isn't he the closest relative?"

"cunning!"

The smile in Zhan Zhao's eyes didn't diminish: "On the wedding day, whether there are thirty tables or three hundred guests, Duanmu is the only one who will live with me for the rest of my life. I should care about what they do ?”

"Cunning." She still said the same words, her face was still tense, and a smile escaped from the corners of her pursed lips little by little.

"Finally willing to laugh?" Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to scratch her nose.

Duanmucui avoided with a giggle: "Zhan Zhao, go and see the room."

The household items have not been delivered yet, and the bedroom is empty. There is no lamp in it, and it is not very clear.Duanmucui looked at it for a long time, and finally asked Zhan Zhao in a low voice: "From now on, will you live here?"

"Yes." Zhan Zhao answered seriously.

"Will you move?"

"maybe."

"Then I will follow you!" Duanmucui reminded him.

Zhan Zhao gave her a white look: "If you don't follow, are you still asking to move?"

"Too."

She was full of smiles, and her bright black eyes twinkled like stars.In a moment of emotion, Zhan Zhao pulled her into his arms, rubbing his chin on the top of her hair affectionately.Duanmucui lay quietly in his arms, and suddenly whispered: "Zhan Zhao, don't go back tonight."

"Sleeping here?" Zhan Zhao was startled, "It's empty here, not even a bed."

Duanmucui smiled: "There is no bed, but there are pillows."

Pillow?

Zhan Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly came to his senses, rolling his eyes at her boss: "No."

"You gave way when you were in the Underworld." Duanmucui was dissatisfied, "Zhan Zhao, you went back more and more."

"Why do I always make pillows?" Zhan Zhao was also dissatisfied, "This time it's your turn."

Duanmucui's eyeballs rolled: "That's guessing punches."

In the first round, Zhan Zhao won.

"Not counting, do it again." Duanmucui waved his hand.

In the second round, Zhan Zhao won again.

"No, no, come again."

In the third round, Zhan Zhao still won.

"No, come again."

Zhan Zhao quit, sat down against the wall, and sighed, "It's unreasonable."

Duanmucui came over with a smile, leaned into his arms comfortably, and when meeting Shang Zhanzhao's helpless eyes, she made a face at him and said, "Pillow."

Zhan Zhao is not angry either: "Hedong in 30 years and Hexi in 30 years, there will be days when the pillow will turn over."

"That depends on when you turn around." Duanmucui deliberately challenged him, "One year? Two years?"

Zhan Zhao didn't pay any attention to her, and if no one spoke to her, she would naturally get tired of it.

Sure enough, after a while, she stopped making trouble, and when she spoke again, her voice was soft.

"Zhan Zhao, if I hadn't met you, what would I be doing now?"

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao didn't react for a while.

"If I hadn't met you," Duanmucui frowned slightly, "I finished collecting the monsters in Kaifeng, have I returned to Yingzhou now? I should have stayed in Yingzhou..." She looked up at Zhan Zhao, "Zhan Zhao Zhao, what about you? What are you doing? Will you marry another girl?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head and said in a low voice after a long time, "Perhaps, I'm already dead."

For a while, it was strangely silent.

Duanmucui bit her lips, smiled suddenly, and stretched out her hand to smooth his slightly frowning brows: "Zhan Zhao will not die, he will be safe for a long time."

Zhan Zhao smiled back, bowed his head and kissed her forehead.

"Duanmu, I've been thinking about things in the world. It's really hard to say clearly. If we weren't together, you would be alone in Yingzhou, and I might have died in the mortal world. Two people, no one can be called happy. But after being together, I suddenly have no regrets, is it strange to you? How did such a reversal come about?"

Duanmucui shrank into his arms, saying vaguely, "That's why... we want to get married."
