Dragon Pattern Roll Set

All the way into Changzhou Mansion, the people onlookers on the street were all looking for him, "Where is Zhan Xiaozhao?"

"Oh, I was only sixteen or seventeen when I left Changzhou Mansion, so I should be a handsome guy in his 20s by now."

"Where is it? Why don't you see me?"

"He was handsome when he was young, and he is probably even more handsome when he grows up."

"I liked him when I was a kid!"

"Where are you? Tell me to meet up. I don't know if you have a sweetheart."

A group of girls shouted from upstairs to the downstairs, "Brother Zhan."

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, and they said to themselves, "Brother Zhan is now under the dark clouds and the disaster is shining brightly. You should pay attention to the bracelets on your wrists, don't fly down and hit your brother Zhan."

……

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao who was holding his fourth son in the carriage, "Cat, are you sure you don't want to go out?"

Zhan Zhao frowned, "Hmm..."

"Maomao, why don't you go out when you get home?" Little Four asked Zhan Zhao while chewing something like grass, "You owe him money?"

Zhan Zhao rested his chin and looked at the fourth son in perplexity, then asked curiously, "What are you eating?"

The fourth son smiled, "Dried bitter melon."

Zhan Zhao's eyelids twitched, and he held him down, "Are you still eating bitter melon so happily?"

"The bitterness is gone, it's marinated with sugar, it's delicious." As he spoke, the fourth son took out a long strip of green oil from a paper bag, and handed it to Zhan Zhao, "Taste it."

Zhan Zhao reached out to take one, chewed it, and raised his eyebrows, "Huh? It's not bad, it's sweet and sweet."

"Yeah." The fourth son nodded, "If you get angry and dispel the heat, eat two more."

Bai Yutang looked at the one who was successfully eaten and turned his attention away, and discussed with his fourth son which kind of preserved fruit and pickled vegetables tasted better, Zhan Zhao, feeling a little helpless.

Fortunately, there are enough people outside, Master Bao is dark enough and interesting enough, and the people in the city probably think that Zhan Zhao may have gone to investigate the case, or want to keep a low profile... Watching the patrol team all the way to the government office of Changzhou mouth.

When Bao Zheng arrived at the gate, he frowned, and saw that there was still blood stains at the gate, surrounded by a few yamen servants, it seemed that the scene was well protected.

Everyone went in and took a look... Good guy, the whole government office feels particularly bloody, with blood splattered everywhere, and the wind is blowing.But the bodies had all been hidden, frozen in the basement.

Gongsun first checked the bodies of Liu Zhifu and his mad lady, but found nothing unusual.

After tossing around, it was almost dark, and the people did not eat or drink, the key is that there is no place to live, hundreds of people have to settle down, but the Yamen of Changzhou Prefecture is the scene of a murder, can they live here?

At this time, Zhan Zhao waved to everyone, "Otherwise, come and stay at my house."

Everyone was taken aback, and turned to look at Zhan Zhao.

Gongsun rubbed his chin, "Can it accommodate hundreds of people?"

"Hmm...squeeze, it should be..." Zhan Zhao counted with his face up.

"Wow, I'm going to Maomao's house." The fourth son jumped aside.

"It's not far." Zhan Zhao led the crowd and headed home...

The crowd walked around a few streets, Zhan Zhao had to lead the way, so he didn't have to take the carriage, but he led the fourth son all the way, and the people didn't talk about him, probably to rub off on the fourth son's fairy spirit.

Sure enough, there were people greeting each other along the way, and there were various ways of addressing Zhan Zhao. Some called him Zhan Xiaozhao, Zhan Xiaomao, Zhan’s Young Master, and the most interesting one was Zhan’s Little Cat Master.

Everyone is curious, how predestined is Zhan Show and the cat?

Finally, everyone came to a small house and stopped.

Zhan Zhao reached out and knocked on the door.

Everyone looked around, and saw that it was just a small two-story building, not to mention hundreds of people, dozens of people could not fit in it.

So Grand Master Pang patted Zhan Zhao lightly, "Then what, guard Zhan, don't force yourself..."

Before he could finish speaking, the door creaked open, and an old man ran out. When he saw Zhan Zhao, he became excited, "Ah! Master, you are really home!"

Zhan Zhao scratched his head, "Uncle Fu."

Everyone tilted their heads.

Zhan Zhao introduced, "This is Fu Bo, my housekeeper."

Everyone raised their faces and looked at the small building again, wondering—it's such a small house, but they still need a housekeeper...

"Oh, there are so many people." Forbe looked at it.

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Can the old house live in?"

"I can live there, I cleaned it a while ago." Uncle Fu ran into the house, got a bunch of keys, and took Zhan Zhao to a distance.

Everyone looked at the small building, oh, it turned out to be the official's own house, so they followed Zhan Zhao together.

Uncle Fu was very talkative, he got to know everyone one by one, and even said a few polite words to Lord Bao and Grand Master Pang, asking them to take care of the young master and so on.

Everyone was a little puzzled... How far would this go.

Just as he was talking, he turned into an alley, and there was a gate in front of him.

Uncle Fu went forward and opened the door, and said to Zhan Zhao, "But there probably aren't enough people, do you want to hire some?"

Without waiting for Zhan Zhao to speak, Bai Yutang shook his head and said, "No need, we'll bring someone by ourselves."

Fu Bo nodded, opened the gates on both sides, and said that the other end is a stable. If there is not enough space, there is a horse farm behind, but it has not been used for a long time. If you need to camp there, it is quite suitable.

At this moment, everyone except Bai Yutang and Bao Zheng opened their mouths wide open, looking up at the huge mansion in front of them... It's so spectacular!

I saw that Zhan's house was built almost like a manor, with a huge wall outside. I dare to say that they walked through a long alley just outside the courtyard wall of Zhan's house.

After a long time, the fourth son asked Gongsun, "Daddy, is Mao Mao's family rich?"

Gongsun rubbed his chin—it looks like he was born into a wealthy family.

Bai Yutang stood next to the two of them, leaned over and said in a low voice, "Zhan Zhao's father is a well-known businessman in Changzhou Prefecture. He has a big business, but he lived in seclusion with his mother a long time ago, and doesn't care about world affairs."

Everyone opened their mouths.

"But Zhan Zhao can't tell at all..." Gongsun was curious.

"It's no wonder, he doesn't seem to live at home very much, he always lives in the magic palace." Zhao Pu was a little curious, Zhan Zhao's parents didn't know what it was like.

Zhan Zhao stood in front of the gate, he had only lived in this house occasionally when he was a child, and he didn't even know the way inside.

Zhan Zhao turned around and asked everyone, "Shall we go out for dinner? There hasn't been a fire at home for a long time..."

Before the word "fire" was finished, Bai Yutang suddenly pulled him, and the others also stretched out their hands, which seemed to mean pulling him.

Zhan Zhao was dragged down the steps by Bai Yutang, and then he heard a "step" sound behind him.

Zhan Zhao turned his head to look at the ground... and saw the plaque above his head that said "Zhan Mansion". I don't know if it was in disrepair or something, it fell down and broke in two.

"oops."

At this time, Uncle Fu ran over and asked, "Did you take a picture?"

The corner of Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched.

Uncle Fu went to pick up the plaque and frowned, "Oh, this plaque is all rotten." As he said, he asked someone to check all the plaques or hanging things in the Zhanfu. A lot, don't drop it and hurt people when the time comes.

Zhan Zhao frowned, looking at the broken plaque.

The fourth son held his face while Xiao Liang curled his lips aside, "Oh, this is too unlucky..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Lin Yehuo crackling and swearing from a distance. Everyone followed the sound and saw Lin Yehuo jumping under the eaves, as if he had been hit by a bird's nest.

Lin Yehuo fiddled with tree branches and bird feathers all over his head, jumping up and down angrily.

Zou Liang helped him pick off the branches on his head.

Everyone silently glanced at Zhan Zhao again, the bird's nest was the most soiled, but if Zhan Zhao was hit by the plaque just now...

Just as he was thinking, Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to pick up the fourth son, and stuffed it into Zhan Zhao's hand.

Zhan Zhao hugged the fourth son who was also puzzled, and Bai Yutang said seriously, "Hold tight, don't let go."

The exhibition is full of hope.

The Zhan family's old house has a lot of rooms, a big yard, and a dozen or so rooms around it, which is very suitable for everyone to live in.

Sure enough, there is a large flat land behind, and the stables can also be used, just add some fodder.Ouyang Shaozheng took soldiers and horses to set up camp, and Long Qiaoguang and Zou Liang raised all the horses in the stables.There is also a smaller stable in the yard, and Hei Xiao and the others keep several horses in front of them, saving them from bullying other horses in the stable.

After roughly sorting out the salute, everyone was ready to eat.

Bai Fu took Chen Xing'er and Yue Ya'er to the shops introduced by Zhan Zhao to buy food and came back. The ones introduced by Zhan Zhao were naturally delicious.

Zhan Zhao ordered a bowl of assorted noodles, and now he wants to eat the noodles and go to sleep.

Just as he was about to sit down, the fourth son was standing behind him. Suddenly, he put his hands on his buttocks.

Zhan Zhao was stunned, turned around, and saw the fourth son blinking, and said to him seriously, "It's not easy to sit."

Zhan Zhao asked him puzzled, "Why?"

The fourth son tilted his head, he didn't seem to be very clear, he just glanced at the stool...

Bai Yutang kicked the stool lightly, and with a loud crash, the stool fell apart.

Everyone gasped, and at the same time, they heard a "crash", and Lin Yehuo sat down on the ground, cursing, "Damn it, I've had eight lifetimes of bad luck!"

The fourth son dragged a stool aside, pointed at Zhan Zhao, "Sit down."

Zhan Zhao sat down obediently.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and picked up chopsticks to eat noodles.

Zhan Zhao was starving to death, in front of him was a bowl of hometown-style assorted noodles that he hadn't eaten for a long time, and just about to put his chopsticks in his mouth, the fourth son suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

Zhan Zhao glanced at the fourth son.

The fourth son stared at his bowl.

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth and kept his bowl and chopsticks in a motionless posture. Bai Yutang looked in his bowl... There was nothing there.

Zhan Zhao loosened his chopsticks lightly, and heard a "ding", and a stone fell into the noodle bowl.

The corner of Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched. It looked like a small stone like beef... If he swallowed it all at once, his teeth might all collapse.

Everyone subconsciously went to look at Lin Yehuo again, and saw that he was eating noodles with great relish. Zou Liang held up his chopsticks and stirred them in his bowl. Lin Yehuo looked at him in amazement, what does that mean - what are you doing? !

Zou Liang raised his eyebrows, indicating that there were no stones.

Zhan Zhao swallowed.

The fourth son looked at his bowl again, nodded, "Eat."

Zhan Zhao ate the noodles obediently, and the trip went smoothly.

After eating the noodles, Zhan Zhao was about to stand up when the fourth son grabbed his arm.

Bai Yutang lowered his head and found that the hem of Zhan Zhao's clothes was caught by a nail on the foot of the stool.

The fourth son helped Zhan Zhao take off the hem of his clothes.

Everyone looked at Lin Yehuo again. He finished eating, and he was happy to go to take a bath and go to bed, and there was no accident.

The fourth son squinted his eyes at Lin Yehuo, and Xiao Liang asked him, "Jin'er, is that guy also in bad luck?"

The fourth son blinked and said, "He should be fine."

Everyone nodded. It is estimated that bad luck has a time limit. Lin Yehuo was only hit by a lump of bird feces, which is probably almost the same. That means, Zhan Zhao will have to have bad luck for a while?

Zhan Zhao asked the fourth son, "Can I go back to my room?"

The fourth son nodded, Zhan Zhao turned around and went back to pack his luggage with Bai Yutang, the fourth son stared at him like a little follower, and everyone followed out of curiosity—what is this?Is it good luck for the little four, is it bad luck for the little group to fight against bird shit?

Back in the room, Zhan Zhao put the burden on the table, and the fourth son stretched out his hand...

However, his hands are short and he can't reach them. Fortunately, Bai Yutang has been watching his movements, so he stretched out his hand to block it...

At the same time, the oil lamp on the table suddenly fell down... Bai Yutang picked it up and put the oil lamp away, otherwise Zhan Zhao's clothes would probably be burned.

Zhan Zhao tremblingly walked to the bed, ready to put down the bed curtain and shake the ashes, but before he touched the bed curtain, the fourth son tugged at the hem of his clothes.

Zhan Zhao quickly stopped his hands... and saw a big black spider crawling out from the folds of the curtain, and fell to the ground... Xiao Wu, who followed in, slapped it out.

Zhan Zhao subconsciously pressed the twitching corner of his mouth, walked over to open the cabinet door and prepared to put his clothes.

The moment he opened the door, the fourth son yanked him aside, Zhan Zhao quickly dodged, and heard a crash...

As soon as the cabinet door was loosened, a large pile of books fell out like a landslide.

Zhan Zhao squatted down to look, they were all his father's books, maybe the study room couldn't fit him here.

Two servants came in and cleared out all the books, and the servant girl beat the wardrobe with a feather duster and then helped Zhan Zhao put away his clothes.

Zhan Zhao was quite embarrassed, so, "I'll come, I'll..." But just as he walked to the cabinet, the fourth son yanked him again, and Zhan Zhao quickly took a step back when he heard a "bang bang". , Someone put a porcelain Buddha statue to ward off evil spirits on the top of the cabinet... It was a good one, and it fell to pieces.

The maid hurried to get the broom, Zhan Zhao opened his mouth wide in horror.

Bai Yutang rubbed his chin and watched from the side, and everyone at the door looked at each other. At this moment, they didn't know that they should lament Zhan Zhao's misfortune, but Xiaosi's luck, or...he was one step ahead and predicted the danger. Ability.

Zhao Pu rubbed his chin, "Oh, you're so powerful now, what was the Silver Demon King like before?"

Gongsun looked around vigilantly, signaling to everyone not to be too obvious, it's just luck!luck!Nothing to do with predicting the future!

Finally, the work is over, and it's time to take a shower and go to bed.

Zhan Zhao sat on the edge of the bed dejectedly. After the fourth son helped him fold a piece of clothing, he said, "Maomao, I'm going back to sleep."

Zhan Zhao looked at the fourth son, "Then will I fall asleep at night and be crushed to death by the collapsed bed?"

"No, it's okay." The fourth son smiled and stretched out his hand.

Zhan Zhao picked him up, and the fourth son put his arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek, then rubbed him twice, got out of bed, and ran outside.

Gongsun held the fourth son in his arms and looked at the door, wondering if he should stay with Zhan Zhao to sleep with him for the night, so as to save him from any accidents at night.But the fourth son firmly said that it was all right, so Gongsun and Zhao Pu also took their son back.

Zhao Pu also asked the fourth son curiously, "How do you know that there are books in the cabinet, and something will fall?"

The fourth son touched the soft flesh on his chin and shook his head, he seemed very puzzled, he just felt that there would be danger, and which direction the danger probably came from, so when he realized it, he had already grabbed Zhan Zhao.

Gongsun and Zhao Pu looked at each other, really don't know if this ability is a blessing or a curse.

Zhan Zhao sat by the bed for a while, then stood up and suddenly stepped aside to look at the roof.

Bai Yutang was arranging clothes beside him, looking at a certain startled cat dumbfounded.

Zhan Zhao looked up for a while - nothing fell from the beam.I went to pour water behind the screen again...the tub didn't leak.

Guard Zhan took a bath, put on his clothes and lay down on the bed, but he didn't find anything wrong.

Finally, he reached out and touched the edge of the bed, and found something hard. He took it out and saw a silver coin.

Zhan Zhao blinked and asked Bai Yutang, "Your money?"

Bai Yutang was coming out of the shower and brushing his hair, puzzled, "What?"

Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang's purse on the bedside table, then looked at the money in his hand, and suddenly remembered that it might be someone's pocket money when he was a child, but he didn't find it after it fell into the crack of the bed.

Zhan Zhao lay down comfortably, moved the pillow, and found it quite comfortable.

After rubbing it a few more times, Zhan Zhao felt that there seemed to be something in the pillow, and reached out to feel it out, it was a red envelope.

Zhan Zhao suddenly remembered, it seemed that it was the New Year's money given to him by the Marquis of Yin one year during the Chinese New Year here.

Zhan Zhao smiled and blinked at Bai Yutang, "Luck has changed!"

Bai Yutang nodded happily, and he was relieved to lie down—it seems that no matter how bad the crow dung is, no matter how unlucky it is, it can't match the power of the little four's lucky dumpling!

Zhan Zhao had a problem on his mind, he lay down peacefully, slept for a while and got up several times, whether it was to harass Yin Hou, dig out the wine buried in the yard and have a drink with Bai Yutang, or go to the opposite door Eating a bowl of hot dry noodles at a nightclub is not only not unlucky, but also extremely lucky.For example, when he harassed Yin Hou, he discovered that there was a jade pendant hidden in Yin Hou's room when he was a child, and two jars of copper coins buried with the wine jar, and when he ate hot dry noodles, he ate double-yolk eggs...

In short, Guard Zhan crawled over Bai Yutang in the middle of the night, and when he lay down and hugged the mouse's arm, he was in a good mood, "It's really a change of luck!" He said, rubbing Bai Yutang twice.

Bai Yutang, still asleep, looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao rubbed him twice again, "I'll give you some luck..."

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly, he heard a scream from outside.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang sat up in a huff. The cry came from outside the house, it should be quite far away, it was a woman's scream.

The two put on their clothes and went out, only to see the night watchmen and shadow guards coming out, even Master Bao woke up, and asked, "What happened?"

At this time, Ziying fell from the roof, and the cry came from a small building called Linchun Mulou in front.

"The Linchun wooden building is a furniture shop." Zhan Zhao said, "The owner Wang Linchun is the best carpenter of this generation. He sells a lot of wooden furniture made by him in his small building, specializing in dressing cabinets, dressing boxes and mirrors for ladies. .”

Everyone rushed to the Linchun Mulou. As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw a wounded young man crying at the door of the small building. Come down, fall to your death..."

Zhan Zhao frowned, stepped forward, "Xiaoye."

"Brother Zhan...wow...my wife is possessed by a ghost. It's so scary."

The child named Xiaoye burst into tears when he saw Zhan Zhao, and Gongsun treated his wound.

Xiaoye, whose full name is Ye Quan, is Wang Linchun's apprentice and has been living with the couple.Zhan Zhao knew him when he was very young. Wang Linchun and his wife had no children. The Ye family in the nearby Kaimihang adopted a son for them, and he also became an apprentice to learn the craft. In the future, they will inherit the wooden building, and the family has always been together. very good.

Zhan Zhao comforted Xiao Ye outside, while Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu walked into the small building curiously.At the bottom of the stairs, lay a woman with a broken neck. Her eyes were bulging fiercely, her clothes were messy, blood was splattered on her chest and hands, including her face, and a bloody knife was in her hand. She looked distorted and hideous.

Bai Yutang unconsciously thought of the wife of the magistrate's family, and she seemed to have the same expression, like a ghost.

Zhao Pu frowned, "Hey, another crazy one."

Bai Yutang looked around and asked Zhao Pu, "Do you feel a little weird?"

Zhao Pu nodded and looked around, "Why is this place arranged like this? Good people will go crazy if they live there for a long time."

At this time, Zhan Zhao also walked in, and was shaken by something as soon as he entered the door.

Looking around again... I saw that the entire spacious hall was filled with all kinds of dressing cabinets, and there were mirrors on the dressing cabinets, including bronze mirrors and glazed mirrors.

It's just that the black light is blind, the mirror reflects the moonlight, and it's a little white, and then the figures of the people are reflected on each mirror, which is a little distorted and weird.
