Kaifeng Monster

Chapter 133

It's clearly winter, but in the past two days, it has been raining endlessly.There was nothing to do in the mansion, Gongsun Ce read and wrote in the room, and tended the flowers and plants in his spare time, he was quite at ease.

Duanmucui came to live in the mansion a few days ago, and Zhan Zhao has been away on business for a while, it is really boring for her to live in such a big house by herself, and she can't talk to a few servants, so she simply went to live in Kaifeng mansion again.

Yes, came and lived again.

Basically, Gongsun Ce has already summed up the rules. Once Zhan Zhao goes out, within ten days, Duanmucui will definitely come to live in Kaifeng Mansion.

"The house is lively." If you ask her, she will probably say so.

In fact, Gongsun Ce really didn't think there was anything lively about it, it was because he and his lord had been stationed all year round, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and the others often came in and out, oh, yes, there was also Miss Keziqinke.Her marriage with Zhang Long has almost been finalized, and she frequently goes in and out of the mansion these days.

But after thinking about it, compared to the big house where she and Zhan Zhao lived, um, it was much more lively.

Speaking of it, why did the emperor grant such a freshman to enter the house?

Gongsun Ce had discussed this issue with Mr. Bao.According to Mr. Bao, the emperor did not grant this mansion solely for the purpose of protection. It is said that other factors were also taken into consideration, such as the collection of monsters in Jinyang, the epidemic situation in Xuanping, and the elimination of evil in the imperial city.Of course, the Empress Dowager also contributed a lot, she said to the emperor with emotion: "It turns out that the guard Zhan married that girl. I've seen her before, and she's very pleasing."

So he detoured three times and detoured twice, and came out of this house that made Duanmucui extremely resentful.

Once, Gongsun Ce came to visit the two of them.In front of Zhan Zhao, Duan Mucui sighed at him: "Such a big house can be used for grazing, and Zhan Zhao is away every three days. I can't see it for two years, and I will become a boudoir."

At that time Zhan Zhao was drinking tea next to him, and when he heard the words, he spit out and coughed continuously.

Gongsun Ce held back his laughter until his stomach ached. He had never seen Duanmucui such a spirited and resentful wife.

Thinking about the past, Gongsun Ce smiled unconsciously, dipped the inkstone in his hand and was about to write, when suddenly there was an ouch from outside the door.Hearing the voice sounded like Duanmucui, Gongsun Ce was startled and hurried out.Sure enough, Duanmucui was sitting on the ground by the steps of the corridor, rubbing his ankles, his hair and clothes were completely wet by the rain.

Gongsun Ce didn't bother to open the umbrella, so he hurried over to help her up, and when he looked down, he saw a trace of moss on the steps, so he knew that she had slipped.

He went into the room and sat down, lifted up his clothes and looked, his ankles were indeed bruised and purple.Gongsun Ce found the medicated oil, handed it to her and sighed, "I'm still not a martial artist, I can't even walk properly."

Duanmucui smeared medicated oil on her ankle while sucking her breath, but she didn't care about Gongsun Ce.Gongsun Ce didn't take it seriously, and asked her after a pause, "What's the reason for coming here in such a hurry?"

"It's nothing. I just passed by the kitchen and asked what my husband would like to eat tonight."

"The servants in the kitchen don't know how to behave. When did they ask you to do things?" Gongsun Ce was a little displeased.

"It's not that they ordered me." Duanmu Cui smiled, "Anyway, I'm idle, and I don't want to watch Xiao Qinghua play flower cards with Zhang Long, so I found an excuse to come here."

"Still fighting?" Gongsun Ce was speechless, "Why aren't Zhang Long and the others on duty?"

"In the beginning, they fought against Zhao Chao and the others. Later, Zhang Long and the others came back to change shifts, and then joined forces with Zhang Long and the others." Duanmucui pursed his lips and smiled. Yes."

"That's right, I've been afraid of losing for a long time." Gongsun Ce also smiled, "What about the other side, my lord?"

"I've been writing notes in the study, and I'm thinking about the embezzlement of the relief money for the flood in the Yellow River. I heard that Wang Qianzhe, who is in charge of allocating the relief money, is a disciple of Taishi Pang. It seems that this trip is going to fight with the Taishi again."

Gongsun Ce spread his hands: "Anyway, it's not a day or two since we got into a fight with the Grand Master. That day I told Zhan Weiwei that it's fortunate that our Kaifeng mansion is not next to the Grand Master's mansion, otherwise we would quarrel in the court hall and quarrel when we returned to the mansion. , that will never be peaceful."

Duanmucui burst out laughing.

In winter, the sun sets early, and it rains for another day, and it is even colder at night.Duanmucui went to bed early, and she slept in the same room where Zhan Zhao lived before leaving the residence.After Zhan Zhao got married and left the mansion, this house has been vacant all the time, the adults might say that the Zhan guards would still live there in the future, but unexpectedly Zhan Zhao lived there very rarely, on the contrary, Duanmucui visited more often.

Gongsun Ce stayed up late as usual, read a few chapters of "Huainanzi", and copied a few pieces of "Preface to Lanting", Fang stretched himself to wash up.Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps outside, followed by a cautious knock on the door: "Mr. Gongsun, Mr. Zhan is here, saying he is taking his wife back."

Gongsun Ce was taken aback for a moment, and quickly put on his coat and took an umbrella and came out.The little yamen servant who knocked on the door stood respectfully, Gongsun Ce asked him, "Where is Mr. Zhan?" Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhan Zhao coming from the corner door holding an umbrella.It was raining heavily, and the hem of his blue clothes was a little wet.Gongsun Ce waved his hand to let the servant go down, then bent down and put the umbrella in hand by the wall.

"Mr. Gongsun." Fang Zhi stood up, and Zhan Zhao was already in front of him.

Gongsun Ce smiled: "Guard Zhan, when did you arrive? In the afternoon, I told my lord that you won't arrive until two or three days ago. Don't worry about that girl and rush back all night, right?"

Zhan Zhao didn't respond, but Gongsun Ce knew he had guessed right again by looking at his expression, he shook his head and smiled, "If you don't worry next time, just take this girl with you, even if she can't help, it won't be a bad thing. "

Zhan Zhao also knew that Gongsun Ce was teasing him, so he said with a smile, "This trip went well. I was going to report to my lord, but my lord has already gone to bed, so I can report tomorrow. Is Duanmu asleep?"

"No, I went to bed early." Gongsun Ce looked towards Duanmucui's room, "I turned off the lights early. Don't bother this girl, it won't be too late to pick her up tomorrow."

Zhan Zhao hesitated for a moment, neither saying yes nor no.

Seeing him like this, Gongsun Ce suddenly came to his senses, and secretly scolded himself for being confused: he came back in such a hurry, presumably because he wanted to see Duanmucui earlier, so he asked him to come back tomorrow, wouldn't it be a big mistake?
He hurriedly changed his words: "It's raining heavily outside, and it's not convenient to go back on the way, why don't you stay here tonight."

Zhan Zhao stood outside the door for a while, listening to the steady breathing inside, with a smile on the corner of his lips, he pushed the door very lightly and walked in.

This girl forgot to lock the door again.In the past, when the two were together, he was always the last to lock the door, and she always couldn't remember.When I asked her, she was reasonable: "I have been in Yingzhou all these years, and I didn't lock the door."

If you tell her the reason that the world is different from Yingzhou, she will make a lot of nonsense: "Zhan Zhao, when it comes to locking the door, guard against gentlemen but not against villains. If those thieves want to come in, they can't get on the bar. They can all come in."

Either way, she is right.

Zhan Zhao closed the door, and walked to the bed very lightly.The room was not very dark, and she could be vaguely discerned when she was asleep.Zhan Zhao smiled and bent down, hugging her through the quilt.

As soon as she stretched her body, she woke up immediately, her eyes flashed with fear, and she suddenly came to her senses again, and said joyfully, "Zhan Zhao."

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and scratched her nose fiercely: "Going back, sleeping so hard, no one else knew when they entered the room and went to the bedside, what should I do if someone kidnapped me?"

Duanmucui was scratched hard by him, she stretched out her hand to rub the bridge of her nose, she was very reasonable: "This is in Kaifeng mansion."

Zhan Zhao glared at her: "No matter where it is, you can't take it lightly."

She was giggling, not annoyed, and finally said softly: "When did you come back?"

Zhan Zhao didn't answer, he lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek, reached in and hugged her slender waist, and suddenly let out a gasp: "You're skinny again."

Duanmucui became anxious: "No, you can't punish me for eating."

Zhan Zhao couldn't help laughing, and burst out laughing, Duanmucui saved him from teasing her, and said angrily, "Cunning."

After Duanmucui returned to the mortal world, she was able to eat some meat, but her appetite was always a little bit, sometimes not much more than Xiao Qinghua's.When Zhan Zhao was around, he always forced her to eat more. He couldn't supervise her when he went out, so he made an agreement with her to eat well and sleep well. If he came back and found that she had lost weight, he would punish her with an extra bowl of rice for every meal in the future.Duanmucui was very apprehensive about this bowl of rice, she racked her brains to avoid it every time, whoever said she lost weight, she must be in a hurry.

Zhan Zhao changed his clothes and went to bed while talking to her.The bed is not too wide, so Duanmucui moved in to make room for him.Fang covered her with the quilt, and suddenly felt her waist tighten, Zhan Zhao hugged her waist, then hugged her to the outside, and said softly: "It's hard to cover such a small place, what are you going to do in a cold place?" ?”

Duanmu Cui giggled and said, "What if I fall off while sleeping outside?"

"Catch it up."

In the darkness, Duanmucui sticks out her tongue towards Zhanzhao, but I don't know if he saw it or not.

After a pause, Zhan Zhao's breathing gradually grew evenly, and Duanmucui couldn't fall asleep because he was thinking: if he really fell, would Zhan Zhao know?

Thinking of this, his narrow heart suddenly arose, and he quietly moved his body to the side.Fang moved an inch, and Zhan Zhao's arm suddenly passed under her body, and with a little force, he hugged her to his body.

Duanmucui was startled, and when she lowered her head, she saw Zhan Zhao's eyes flashing a narrow smile, she also laughed before she knew it, and said in a low voice, "Are you still asleep?"

Zhan Zhao kissed her on the lips: "I really fell asleep, what if you fell?"

As he said that, he turned around slightly, and sent her back inside, where it was already warmed up.Zhan Zhao helped her tuck the corners of the quilt, looked down and saw that her eyes were shining brightly, so he knew she was still not sleepy, and asked with a smile, "What have you been doing at home these few days?"

Duanmu Cuiwei really couldn't think of anything new, and after thinking for a long time, he said honestly: "Today I fell down."

Zhan Zhao was taken aback: "Where?"

"On the feet."

Zhan Zhao subconsciously wanted to get up, Duanmucui hurriedly pulled him back: "Zhan Zhao, don't get up and sit down, there is only such a little heat in this quilt, let you let it go."

Zhan Zhao laughed, "Have you applied any medicine?"

"Ah."

"Does it hurt to walk?"

"A little bit, it will be fine in two days."

There was no words for a while, the two faced each other quietly, listening to the sound of rain outside.

After a long time, Zhan Zhao asked in a low voice, "Duanmu?"

"Ok?"

"I'm going out these days, and I'm at home by myself, is it boring?"

"Not boring."

In the darkness, Zhan Zhao's lips curled into a smile.He stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, thought for a while and said, "I've been away for another fourteen days this time."

"Sixteen days." She quickly corrected him.

Zhan Zhao smiled, looked down at her tenderly: "I still don't say I'm bored, I remember it so clearly for many days."

Duanmucui was speechless for a moment, bit her lip and said in a low voice, "It's not boring anyway."

"Are you angry?"

"What are you angry about?"

"I'm not always there, and I ran out every two days, almost turning Duanmu into a boudoir."

Duanmucui let out a burst of laughter, shrank into Zhan Zhao's arms, and after a pause, said softly, "I'm really not angry."

"Why aren't you angry?" Zhan Zhao asked her in a low voice, stroking her long hair that fell like a cloud.

She raised her head, leaned close to Zhan Zhao's ear and whispered, "Because Zhan Zhao waited for me much longer than I did.

"When you were waiting for me, you didn't know whether I was alive or dead. When I was waiting for you, at least I knew where you were.

"If I hadn't waited for you, how would I have known how hard it was when you were waiting for me? Even if I had to wait for you longer, it would be fine."

She spoke very seriously, and the warm breath when she spoke made his ears itch.Zhan Zhao suddenly turned over and looked down at her seriously: "I was wondering if there is a way to make Duanmu less bored when he is alone."

"It's not boring anymore." Duanmucui frowned, after thinking about it, she was curious, "What's the way?"

"If..." Zhan Zhao said slowly on purpose, "Wouldn't it be better if Duanmu had a child?"

"Isn't that not there yet?" Duanmu Cuibai said to him.

Zhan Zhao smirked: "Yes, so work hard."

Duanmucui suddenly understood what he was talking about.Her face flushed instantly, she bit her lip and turned her head away, but Zhan Zhao was condescending and couldn't avoid his gaze no matter what.

"Whatever..." She was very embarrassed, "You...you can figure it out."
