strayed into the mouse's nest

"Don't worry, the big owner and the big lady, this matter is on my shoulders. The two of them are talented and beautiful, and they are a match made in heaven. The girl from the Jiang family is one of the best in appearance and character..."

"So thankful for Mother Li."Min Xiuxiu personally sent the matchmaker out, and when he saw Zhan Zhao who had obviously been drinking and was stunned aside, he was also taken aback, "Brother Zhan is back, and the fifth child is at Xueyingju."

Zhan Zhao nodded his thanks and walked straight to Bai Yutang's residence.

Xueyingju is located in the southeast corner of Sunken Island. The terrain is quite high, and it was originally independent from other directions. Bai Yutang built his own small courtyard on it. An iron chain was built in the air, so it would be convenient for him to come and go.

Zhan Zhao lived on the island recently, so he was used to walking the iron chain, not to mention his lightness kung fu was two or three points better than Bai Yutang's.Today, for some reason, when passing over the iron chain, he suddenly remembered something and couldn’t catch it, so he was a little dazed, and even slipped. Although he quickly stood still, Zhan Zhao was suddenly bluffed, and his whole body was shocked. Cold sweat, just remind yourself to drink in moderation in the future.

Zhan Zhao knocked lightly on the study door twice, and walked in without waiting for an answer.Bai Yutang was standing in front of the desk, concentrating on painting, and didn't pay special attention to the footsteps.Walking over and taking a look, it is a freehand landscape, the picture is loose and empty, but the two pine trees stand out on the top of the mountain, making the whole structure compact and vivid.Bai Yutang is writing the inscription "There are trees in the mountains, and there are branches in the trees".

For some reason, Zhan Zhao's heart suddenly tightened, as if he was suddenly injured by an invisible sword energy, and felt a sharp pain even though there was no wound. "Fifth brother is good at calligraphy and painting, reading this sentence is deeply thought-provoking."

Hearing this sentence, Bai Yutang raised his head to look at Xiang Zhan Zhao, his eyes sparkled brightly, and he even blushed slightly, as if Zhan Zhao had discovered what was on his mind, and he felt a little embarrassed.

Chinchilla has always been active and flamboyant. When did Zhan Zhao have such an expression, and before he had time to think about anything, he blurted out: "It's just used in this picture, but don't you think it's uncoordinated?"

Nan Xia has always been gentle, and it is rare for him to say a rude word, but when he said this, his voice was sharp and his face was stiff, as if someone had offended him severely.Bai Yutang felt strange in his heart, and the next moment he smelled the strong smell of alcohol in the air, he frowned slightly, and smiled again, "Could it be that you're actually drunk? Tell me, why is this sentence uncoordinated?"

"Who in the rivers and lakes doesn't know that Bai Wuye has countless beauties, and he is the most straightforward and romantic young man. If there is someone he likes, he must be there. Why do you need to play such secret guessing tricks?"

Bai Yutang couldn't help but blushed slightly when he heard Zhan Zhao's words breaking his mind.Yes, although the painting is a landscape, and the writing is "the mountains have trees and the trees have branches", what Bai Wuye thinks in his heart is the next sentence "the heart is pleasing to the king, and the king does not know".Unexpectedly, Zhan Nanxia, ​​who is usually gentle and refined, would make fun of it like this. Just as he was about to refute, he heard Zhan Zhao hastily continue.

"What's more, the boatman had the heart of 'being in the same boat with the prince'. Although it was accepted at the time, such a taboo feeling will inevitably be criticized by future generations and made him laugh." Zhan Zhao turned his head and looked at the cliff opposite Xueyingju. , I don’t know what I thought of, the sharp and eager tone calmed down, and then I even spoke a little leisurely and softly, as if talking to myself inadvertently. "In today's Jianghu, people sometimes hear about the relationship between Longyang and Yang, but most of them separated due to various reasons. Presumably, this kind of behavior is not even blessed by God."

"Brother Zhan is wrong. How can everything go well in life, but it's just a question with a clear conscience. So what will be judged by future generations, it is the right choice to follow one's heart."

"Fifth brother..." Zhan Zhao didn't seem to have expected Bai Yutang to answer so seriously, and was a little stunned for a moment, looking at Bai Yutang's side with his head slightly lowered, speechless.

When Zhan Zhao saw Bai Yutang's calligraphy and painting, he thought of what Mrs. Lu and the matchmaker had heard in the front hall. Bai Yutang...he should also be married, right?Mountains have trees and trees have branches... He and Miss Jiang are childhood sweethearts, and they are in love with each other. How can there be such a thing as "the heart is pleasing to the king, and the king does not know it".

Talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven... Although he is young and unruly, Bai Yutang will be a good husband, and he really likes Miss Jiang.From now on, Bai Yutang will stay with his wife and children on Xingkong Island for a long time.Even if he wants to travel around, there will be someone to accompany him. He will never pass by Tokyo again, and he will not suddenly break into his room in the middle of the night, saying that he wants to drink in the middle of the night...

Zhan Zhao suddenly felt a pain in his heart. This pain was different from the clear and direct pain when he was injured by the enemy in the past, and it was not like when he saw Bai Yutang who was soaked in blood all over the sky. The pain was deep and fragmented. Since the beginning of the island, he has been tossing in his heart, I am afraid, it will be like this in the future, always...

Taking a deep breath, Zhan Zhao came back to his senses, and turned his gaze to Bai Yutang, "Fifth Brother, you are in a loss today. Brother Yu bought 20-year-old Zhuyeqing in Wangminglou. It is pure and sweet, and it is really a rare good wine." However, his gaze seemed to be looking into the distance through Bai Yutang, and he didn't even see the puzzled expression of Chinchilla in front of him.

Something is wrong with this cat today, Bai Yutang's thoughts turned quickly, and his mouth was not idle. Hearing Zhan Zhao's mention of Wangminglou's Zhuyeqing, he smiled lightly and said, "Wangminglou's most famous is the 18-year-old daughter Hong, Didn’t Brother Zhan try it? But it’s so difficult, as long as you’re in Jinhua, there’s nothing Bai can’t get.”

Leaning slightly, wrote a note on the table, then raised an eyebrow at Zhan Zhao and turned around.Bai Yutang went out the door, and a thin rope under the eaves led directly to the opposite bank of Xueyingju. He raised his hand and tied the note to a bell attached to the string, exerted a little force on his arm, and heard the crisp ringing of the bell. Fly along the rope to the opposite bank.

Standing in the house, Zhan Zhao watched Bai Yutang's smooth movements, and knew that this was a message from him to the servant on the other side, and it was probably the idea of ​​Wang Minglou's daughter Hong.

In fact, what he wanted to stop was that he had drunk a lot today, not to mention that it was already dark and it was close to dinner time, so there was really no need to send someone out to buy wine.But when he saw Bai Yutang's smile when he got up, he suddenly didn't want to say anything. There won't be many opportunities for the two of them to drink together in the future, so it's okay to get drunk today.

"Brother Zhan, I haven't been able to accompany you properly because of Sister Manglan's affairs during your visit these few days. Today, my younger brother will take you to a good place to drink."

After Bai Yutang finished speaking, he did not seek Zhan Zhao's opinion.He started to pack his things by himself, carefully rolled up the calligraphy and paintings he made earlier, put them on the easel next to the desk, and put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone back to their original positions, then picked up his Shadow Shadow Sword, and signaled Zhan Zhao to follow.

Zhan Zhao took the giant que, and when he was about to go out, he subconsciously looked back at the roll of drawing paper on the easel, and then he followed without a word.
