Kaifeng House Small Dining Table

Zhao Hanyan turned his head to follow the source of the fragrance, and saw Bai Yutang sitting on the edge of the bed, with his arms resting on the edge of the bed, and fell asleep with his head resting on his arms.

Martial arts practitioners are highly vigilant, and Zhao Hanyan found that Bai Yutang was fast asleep, so he didn't dare to move casually to avoid waking him up.

After Zhao Hanyan thought about this first, he remembered and wondered why he was lying on the bed.She seemed to have fallen asleep while reading a book last night. In her memory, she was sitting at the table. Besides, no matter how sleepy she was, she would definitely not do such a rude thing as just running to someone else's bed to sleep, especially if it was a man's bed.No matter how you think about it, you can only use one explanation. After Bai Yutang came back, he saw that she was asleep and hugged her to the bed!

Put it on the bed?Why doesn't she feel anything at all?And...it seems...as if...it can only be hugged by a princess.

Why didn't Bai Yutang wake her up?Why hug her!A big man princess embraces another 'big man', no matter how you think about it, hey!

Zhao Hanyan took a breath slowly, trying to slow down his beating heart.

Zhao felt very hot, and folded down a few quilts on her body with her hands. It was already autumn and it was very cold. It was probably because the quilt was thick and too warm.

After a moment of calm, Zhao Hanyan went to see if Bai Yutang was awake.

Looking over Bai Yutang's forehead, first there was a pair of bushy sword eyebrows, then the tightly closed phoenix eyes with unreasonably long eyelashes.The bridge of the nose is very straight, like a high straight ridge.The sleeping face was calm, restraining all the coldness of the past.

This young man acted 'viciously', but his appearance was picturesque.

Just imagine if Bai Yutang was more aggressive, the number of people who would be afraid of him would definitely be three times as high as now, why is he so good-looking.

Zhao Hanyan put his head back on the pillow again, thinking about what to say to Bai Yutang when he woke up for a while.

Ask him 'why put me on the bed'?

Everyone is a man, if I say that, will it seem too fussy.

What about 'I was waiting for you last night but I accidentally fell asleep'?

It seems to sound a bit ambiguous, which is not good.

Why don't you just ask him directly, 'Is there any gain from visiting the Grand Master's Mansion at night'?

That's a good sentence. One can tell at a glance that she was waiting in his room last night because she was more concerned about the case and was anxious to know the result.One sentence can explain why she is here, and it is not so embarrassing.

After Zhao Hanyan finished thinking about this question, he relaxed, and nervously waited for Bai Yutang to wake up, and immediately said this sentence.

But waiting and waiting, Zhao Hanyan gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Bai Yutang slowly opened his eyes when he heard the gentle breathing, and quietly raised his head to look at Zhao Hanyan.Pulled the quilt, covered her under the neck, and tried to touch her forehead with her hand, but it was no longer hot.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhao Hanyan's sound asleep, and smiled silently.After looking at it for a long time, he turned his ear to the door and noticed it, then got up, walked to the table and finished.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

Bai Yutang poured himself a cup of tea, and said calmly, "Come in."

Xiuzhu pushed open the door cautiously, and first saw Bai Yutang sitting at the table with her head.Xiuzhu saluted him respectfully, and quickly scanned the rest of the room, only to be surprised to find that her princess was lying on the bed!

Xiuzhu's complexion suddenly changed, and she hurriedly turned around and closed the door, for fear that someone would discover the secrets in the house.Xiuzhu awkwardly pointed in the direction of the bed, and signaled to Bai Yutang that she was looking for someone. Seeing that Bai Yutang was drinking tea without saying a word, she hurried over to the bed.She wants to wake up her princess quickly and take her away!

Zhao Hanyan vaguely heard the noise, opened his eyes, calmed down, and woke up.When she realized that she had fallen asleep again, Zhao Hanyan sat up quickly and turned to look for Bai Yutang, only to see Xiuzhu rushing to her side with an incredulous expression on her face, staring at her with rounded eyes.

"Well... I was waiting for him last night, but I accidentally fell asleep." The words didn't go according to plan, Zhao Hanyan felt very embarrassed after explaining, and hurriedly added, "I'm anxious to know the results of Bai Shaoxia's investigation."

Xiuzhu promised without saying anything, and waited for Zhao Hanyan to get up, and helped her tidy up her clothes, but Zhao Hanyan's eyes were full of words.Even without Xiuzhu translating it into words, Zhao Hanyan has already grasped all the meanings of 'Master Xiuzhu'.

Xiuzhu turned her head to look at Bai Yutang over there, and although she was afraid, she still had the courage to ask: "When did Young Master Bai return last night?"

"Before dawn." Bai Yutang replied briefly.

Xiuzhu understands that the moment before dawn is just before dawn, and it hasn't been dawn for a long time, so it's okay, there should be nothing wrong.

"Miss Su has already made breakfast. Why don't you just eat here with Young Master Bai? I'll serve the meal." Xiuzhu deliberately wanted Zhao Hanyan to stay, so she could confirm the situation with Bai Yutang.After all, she slept here last night, and she was still in the same room alone with him, checking out the other person's reality and making sure that she was all right.

Zhao Hanyan agreed with a headache.

After Xiuzhu left, Zhao Hanyan glanced at Bai Yutang, and suddenly remembered that he had just woken up and didn't know what he looked like, so he hurried to look in the mirror. , luckily, there is no eye gum.

Zhao Hanyan combed her hair in front of the bronze mirror, and it was probably all right, and she would ask Xiuzhu to comb it for her when she went back later.

"Sit." Bai Yutang walked over and said.

Zhao Hanyan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Bai Yutang puzzled.

"Sit down, I'll help you comb." Bai Yutang repeated.

Zhao Hanyan swallowed in fright, "You? Help, me, comb?"

"Seeing that you can't even comb your hair well, you are indeed from aristocratic background, which is different from us ordinary people." Bai Yutang's eyes fell on Zhao Hanyan, whose body had already stiffened, and asked her if she would sit or not. He pressed her to sit down, "They're all men, just comb your hair, why do you look scared?"

"It's just combing my hair, what am I afraid of! I'm afraid, but I'm afraid of trouble you. The majestic young hero Bai combed my hair. I'm too talented, so I don't need it." She was still very timid and didn't want Bai Yutang to comb her hair.

Bai Yutang lightly pressed Zhao Hanyan's shoulder, Zhao Hanyan turned his head to look at Bai Yutang, and when he met his eyes, his butt sat on the stool somehow.By the time she realized that she wanted to get up, the original bundle of hair had already been loosened.

what--

Boom!

My heart skipped a beat.

Zhao Hanyan froze, unable to move a bit, staring blankly at himself reflected in the bronze mirror in front of him.

The heroic sword eyebrows are still there, fortunately, fortunately.But she has a pair of almond eyes, fair skin, and loose hair, which is too delicate.

Zhao Hanyan was worried that he would be exposed, and his heart beat even more violently than just now.

Suddenly, a fingertip gently slid across the back of her head, and with a twist of her wrist, she gathered all her hair together and held it in the palm of her hand. The technique was very fast and skillful.

Zhao Hanyan raised his eyes, watching Bai Yutang's actions through the mirror.His actions were so calm and smooth, and he didn't ask much. It really was his own guilty conscience, overthinking, and delusional thinking.

Bai Yutang combed Zhao Hanyan's head from the back of his head to the top of his head with a sandalwood comb, and combed everything neatly. He held his long hair in a bun, tied it up, and tied a green hair band for Zhao Hanyan.

Bai Yutang's head-tying technique is definitely on par with his saber technique, the speed is crisp and neat, and it is very beautiful.

Zhao Hanyan's mood has changed from being nervous to being amazed at Bai Yutang's craftsmanship.

"Amazing!" Zhao Hanyan deliberately raised his buttocks, leaned closer to the mirror, and took a good look at his hairstyle. "It's more beautiful than Xiuzhu, and it's even faster!"

Bai Yutang looked at Zhao Hanyan's face in the mirror with a smile, "So, if I can't hang out in the rivers and lakes in the future, I can still make a living by your side by combing my hair."

"what?"

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, "Why, you're not welcome?"

"No, no, how can I not welcome it, but you are such a talented person, how can you not be reduced to combing my hair." Zhao Hanyan laughed and thanked Bai Yutang for his help, "Although this hypothesis is impossible to happen, But if you are really embarrassed to the point you said, I will definitely cover you, no matter what time it is, we are good brothers!"

The corners of Bai Yutang's mouth curled up in the happiest way, and he simply responded to Zhao Hanyan: "Okay."

It's bound to happen.

The atmosphere relaxed, and Zhao Hanyan was not as nervous as before. He asked Bai Yutang about last night, did he really put her on the bed?

It's a bit awkward to think of a big man hugging another big man to bed.This reason should be pursued, so that I can feel at ease in my heart.

Bai Yutang: "You had a fever last night."

"Fever?" Zhao Hanyan wiped her forehead, she almost forgot that she seemed to have a little cold yesterday.

"Your face was burning like red charcoal at that time. It's not good to leave you alone, but I just lay on the bed and slept." Bai Yutang had already seen through Zhao Hanyan's intention of questioning, so he explained to her carefully.

"That's right, if you don't care about me, you will really lose your conscience. I usually cook so many delicious things for you." Zhao Hanyan felt relieved, completely relaxed, and said to Bai Yutang with a happy smile, "Then thank you last night gone."

"My honor." Bai Yutang also responded to Zhao Hanyan with a gentle smile.

Didn't say 'you're welcome', but said 'honour'.

It seems to mean the same thing.

Zhao Hanyan didn't think too much, she had thought too much before, but nothing happened.

"Hahaha..." Zhao Hanyan said cheerfully, "I'll thank you for making delicious food later."

"you got me."

Bai Yutang not only had a smile at the corner of his mouth, but also gently rippled his eyebrows.Perhaps due to staying up late, Bai Yutang's voice was deep and slightly hoarse, but it was more sexy and pleasant to listen to.

Such a beautiful voice paired with an extremely good-looking face is simply unreasonable.

Zhao Hanyan thinks that Bai Yutang's character setting is a bit out of line. His eyeballs glance up, down, left, and again... In any case, no matter where you look, as long as you can perfectly bypass the male sex, you can strengthen your resistance.

"What happened to your eyes?" Bai Yutang asked with a smile.

"Ah, it's a little sore. Rolling your eyes will help relieve it." Zhao Hanyan replied foolishly.

Bai Yutang walked around and nodded, thinking it made sense, and by the way, he felt that Zhao Hanyan knew a lot.

"Breakfast is here." Xiuzhu shouted outside the door with a smile, then went in and put the breakfast for the two of them on the table, serving them.

Zhao Hanyan and Bai Yutang sat across the table, and they were silent while eating.After dinner, Zhao Hanyan washed his hands, and Bai Yutang handed over the handkerchief.

"Thank you." Zhao Hanyan said goodbye to Bai Yutang after wiping his hands.

Zhao Hanyan pursed her lips seriously, walked quickly all the way, and returned to her room with Xiuzhuhui.After closing the door, Zhao Hanyan exhaled the breath she was holding.

Zhao Hanyan patted his chest.

Xiuzhu asked nervously, "How is it? Is there anything wrong?"

"It's okay, I had a fever last night, so he helped me to the bed." Zhao Hanyan was afraid that Xiuzhu would make a fuss, so he deliberately used 'support' instead of 'hold'. Tang has always done things frankly, talking about everything. He must have been tired when he came back from the night visit last night. How could he deliberately doubt whether I am a man or a woman. If he really knows that I am a woman, with his character, Will you leave me in his bed?"

Xiuzhu felt that her princess spoke in a very orderly manner, so she nodded.

"Okay, don't think too much about it." Zhao Hanyan asked Xiuzhu to make some ginger soup for herself. She always felt hot and might have a fever again.

Xiuzhu hurried to do it.

After drinking the ginger soup, Zhao Hanyan felt that he had calmed down a lot. When he heard that Bao Zheng was back, he rushed to Sansi Hall to hear the news.

Bao Zheng is discussing matters with Gongsun Ce.Since Zhao Hanyan didn't want to disturb him, he ran to Zhan Zhao and asked him how he was doing.

"Last time we had contact with Qu Changle because of shopkeeper Xue's case. At that time, we thought he was not a bad person after listening to his speech. After Mr. Bao talked with him last night, I heard his attitude. When mentioning Qu Shangshu, Qu Changle felt unspeakable pain, at first he refused to say anything, but after Mr. Bao talked with him, he gradually revealed that he didn't like his father.

The general situation is just like Master Yan said, Qu Changle has a heart knot, and has always cared about his father abandoning him back then.But in fact, he didn't hate Qu Shangshu because of this. The reason why the relationship between father and son became worse and worse was because he later looked down on his father's behavior more and more and helped the evildoers. " Zhan Zhao explained to Zhao Hanyan.

"Have you been persuaded in the end?" Zhao Hanyan asked curiously.

Zhan Zhao sighed with a smile: "How can I convince you once? This has to be done step by step, slowly. I think it is possible, and the two of them agreed to talk about it next time."

Zhao Hanyan nodded, "Then I will wait for your good news."

After Zhao Hanyan came out from Zhan Zhao's place, she realized that she forgot to ask Bai Yutang if she had found any news in Pang Taishi's mansion this morning.Then he turned to look for Bai Yutang, knocked on the door, and after a while, Bai Yutang opened the door with a tired face.

"Resting? Sorry to bother you, I was not thinking well."

"Heretics." Bai Yutang sighed, telling Zhao Hanyan to ask if he had anything to say.

Hearing that Zhao Hanyan asked about visiting the Grand Master's Mansion last night, Bai Yutang shook his head and told Zhao Hanyan that he had gained nothing and planned to go again tonight.

"Since the search didn't yield anything, why go there again, the Grand Master's Mansion is heavily guarded, and it's quite dangerous." Zhao Hanyan told Bai Yutang not to take another risk.

Bai Yutang looked at her specially: "Are you worried about me?"

"Yes, of course I'm worried about you." After Zhao Hanyan agreed, he casually glanced at Bai Yutang, and happened to meet his eyes, what a coincidence.

Bai Yutang laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed, "It's enough to have your words, and I'll be fine. Besides, I didn't finish the search last night, so it's very necessary to go again."

Zhao Hanyan nodded, and asked Bai Yutang where he searched last night.

Bai Yutang coughed, "It's dark at night, and I haven't identified exactly where it is. After all, the house is very grand."

"Then you have to be more careful tonight." After Zhao Hanyan instructed, she told Bai Yutang that she would go to the kitchen to cook something delicious to reward him, let him rest well first, and then he would have something good to eat when he woke up.

Bai Yutang watched Zhao Hanyan leave with a smile, and closed the door immediately.Thinking of what he heard in Pang Taishi's mansion last night, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

By coincidence last night, after Bai Yutang entered the Grand Master's Mansion, he happened to encounter a group of people patrolling, and hid in the Yanhuo Pavilion nearby, but he heard Pang Yanqing and his guard Wangchen talking, and the two also talked about Pingkang Princess.

It turned out that Pang Yan had known early on that the little cook was Princess Pingkang.

Although the patrolling people walked away, Bai Yutang still chose to stay and listen.He originally wanted to make sure whether Pang Yanqing would reveal this secret, and it would be difficult for Zhao Hanyan.As a result, he listened and found that Pang Yanqing was actually an admirer of the little cook, and he had secretly liked him for a long time.

The waiter Bai Yutang didn't have the heart to investigate other matters at all, so he simply went back to Kaifeng mansion.He was in a bad mood at first, but when he came back, he saw that the light in his room was on, and when he opened the door, he saw that delicate little face he was familiar with had fallen asleep against the page of the book, and he was sleeping very soundly, Bai Yutang couldn't help it. Laughed.I don't know what kind of dream the little cook had, and there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his sleeping position was not very good, and his white and tender face was already red from pressure.

Bai Yutang really wanted to gently hug Zhao Hanyan to the bed to rest.But he didn't dare to make a move, after all, the other party was already asleep, and he suspected that men and women could not understand what he did.Bai Yutang went through a lot of entanglement and struggle in his heart, and decided to wake Zhao Hanyan up, but then he couldn't wake up no matter how much he shouted, and found that her forehead was sweating, and her face was redder than before.

Bai Yutang went to check Zhao Hanyan's forehead, only to find that she had a fever, Bai Yutang carried Zhao Hanyan to the bed without hesitation, moved a stool and sat by the bed, applied Zhao Hanyan's forehead, and changed it from time to time, and took care of it until dawn Finally, she waited until her fever subsided.Bai Yutang couldn't control himself, he still sat by the bed and looked at Zhao Hanyan, planning that if she woke up, he would go and sit at a place far away, but he fell asleep with his hands on the bed up.

Later, Bai Yutang woke up immediately out of vigilance when he heard a slight noise on the couch, but because he didn't know how to face the newly awakened Zhao Hanyan, Bai Yutang simply pretended to be asleep and did not look up.His heart was full of turmoil, and he was thinking about how to solve the embarrassment in front of him, but he fell asleep again.

……

Today, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Qian are going to take Lan'er away. Zhao Hanyan brought them the dry food and other things prepared earlier, and wanted to say a lot of advice, but before she could say anything, she saw Lan'er crying into tears.Zhang Shi and Qian Shi also shed tears, thanking everyone in Kaifeng Mansion for saving Lan Er.

Seeing them off was the most difficult parting, Zhao Hanyan didn't say any more, and sent them out of the city on horseback. After saying take care, he watched them leave with red eyes.

After Zhao Hanyan came back, he ran back to the kitchen to cook pork knuckles.She was afraid that she would lose control of her thoughts about Lan'er, and it would not be easy to get distracted when she was concentrating on cooking, so she could avoid this for the time being.

Zhao Hanyan boiled the half-rotten pig's trotters in white water, added a catty of green plum wine, tangerine peel, sauce and four or five red dates, and simmered them until they were rotten.Stewing is the most important step. The more mellow the plum wine, the better. For the sauce, choose broad bean paste with the strongest fresh flavor, and choose the thickest and sweetest red dates. Stew it slowly and slowly, and the aroma of the sauce will slowly and completely penetrate into the meat. In the trotters, the smell of meat evaporates with the wine, leaving only the sweet and fruity aroma.After cooking, pour the diced pig's trotters with hot scallion oil with pepper, and it's done.

The pig's trotters are soft and chewy, and they are gluten-like when eaten. Because the pig's trotters have no fat, and because they have been simmered in wine, they do not have the slightest fishy smell. When you enjoy them, you feel that there is no end to the deliciousness, no matter how many pieces you eat. , still want to eat.

After Bai Yutang woke up from a nap, he was in a great mood to eat such a delicious pig's trotter.

The satisfaction brought by the tip of the tongue can drive away the fatigue in the body and restore strength after a full stomach.What's more, the person who makes this dish is very special to him, so it will also add joy to him spiritually.

When Zhao Hanyan was watching Bai Yutang tasting the stewed pig's trotters, he heard Bai Yutang's heartfelt thoughts by the way.

'If you eat the cause of fish species, you deserve today's fruit. '

Zhao Hanyan wondered what Bai Yutang was thinking? If 'eat fish' refers to the first thing I cooked fish for him, what does 'today's fruit' refer to?Eating trotters?If you eat fish, you deserve to get the fruit of eating pig's trotters today?

What is the logic!

Bai Yutang probably lost his mind due to lack of sleep.

Is it necessary to seriously consider supplementing Bai Yutang's brain?Get some walnuts, pig brains, fish heads...it should be right.

For dinner that day, Zhao Hanyan really made these: amber walnuts, roasted brain flower, fish head tofu soup, spicy chicken head and so on.

The people at the small dining table followed suit and ate three meals. Although the dishes were varied, everyone found that the last three meals were inseparable from 'walnuts' and 'heads'.

After the third meal, Zhan Zhao, who was elected by everyone to be in charge of negotiating with the little cook, came to the small kitchen.

Zhao Hanyan is cleaning up the fish heads for the next meal.

"This... plan to make it at night?" Zhan Zhao tentatively asked, still thinking about how to express it euphemistically, after all, everyone had never raised any objection to the dishes cooked by the little cook before.I suddenly brought it up today, so as not to let the little cook misunderstand, and feel that it is not good to be injured.

"Braised fish head." Zhao Hanyan rubbed the fish head with salt and put it on a plate.

"It seems like you always make fish heads lately?" Zhan Zhao deliberately asked Zhao Hanyan in an uncertain and puzzled tone, intending to remind her to let her realize this problem, so that it can be solved without him talking.

"I've done three meals." Zhao Hanyan said to Zhan Zhao with a smile, "I still haven't done five things!"

Zhan Zhao: "..."

After Zhan Zhao drank a cup of hot tea, he changed the phrase: "More than that, you seem to like making all kinds of 'heads' recently, such as chicken heads, duck heads, and pig heads."

"Did everyone see it?" Zhao Hanyan asked with a smile.

Zhan Zhao nodded.

"It's a waste of brains to solve a case. It is said that this is complementing the shape with the shape." Zhao Hanyan explained.
