255 Rumors(1/2)
The permanent website address, please remember!
Everyone had a great time having dinner. Bai Xia was a good drinker. He pulled the Heavenly Master Yin Hou Bao to fight for the wine. A group of adults were playing crazy than the young people. Please remember the website address of this site:.
Bai Yutang was taking care of picking up food for Zhan Zhao, Zhao Pu took care of picking up food for Gongsun, Gongsun was taking care of feeding Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang, Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang were quarreling while eating... Ouyang Shaozheng was holding a bowl and squatting on the roof and watching everywhere... He was not keeping a watch, but there were too many beauties in Yingxue Palace! He walked over the Ten Streets of the Courtesan who had been thrown away by a maid, and Ouyang Shang was here to feast his eyes.
After dinner, Bai Xia put everyone down alone. Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang in horror, "Why is your father not good at kung fu?"
Bai Yutang was helpless, "He has been like this and has never been drunk."
Zhan Zhao touched his chin, could Yutang's alcohol tolerance be his father...
"Yutang."
At this time, Lu Xueer sat down next to Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao. She didn't have dinner with everyone, so she picked up food. Mrs. Bai was careful to maintain her beauty. After the afternoon, she stopped eating. She ate fruits or drink some desserts when she was hungry.
Zhan Zhao held his chin and felt that it was the same - it would be a waste of talent if such a beauty was not well maintained.
Lu Xueer sat down and handed Zhan Zhao a bowl of snow clams and white fungus soup. While holding her bowl, she fed Bai Yutang a mouthful.
Bai Yutang doesn’t like sweet food, so Lu Xueer is used to feeding him a few bites when she eats. However, judging from the situation of her meal just now, Lu Xueer found that her son, who has not been very concerned about eating since childhood, is much more obedient now. The main thing is that Zhan Zhao puts it for him, and he will try his best to finish it...
Lu Xueer narrowed her eyes - show her love or something, tsk.
When Bai Yutang saw his mother sitting beside her, she knew she had something to give, so she asked, "What are you doing?"
Lu Xueer smiled and said, "You can help your mother go out to the street later."
Bai Yutang nodded, but was still a little puzzled - what did her mother need him to go to the night without giving instructions to the servants?
Lu Xueer was mysterious and looked at Bai Xia beside her... and saw Bai Xia was having a drink with Ouyang Shaozheng, but she didn't notice this place.
Lu Xueer stuffed a note into Bai Yutang's hand, "Go to this address to get something."
Bai Yutang looked at it and it was an address, just in the street market not far south of Yingxue Palace. Bai Yutang probably understood that it might be the birthday gift he prepared for his father or something.
So Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao who was drinking the soup carefully, "After dinner, go out for a walk?"
"Okay." Zhan Zhao nodded, "I'll take Xiaowu to Liuliu too. It's so fat that it takes up too much space recently..."
"I'll go, too."
A voice came, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang lowered their heads, and saw Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang at some point, tilting their faces, that meaning - eat well! You have to go out to digest food.
Gongsun was going to continue practicing boxing at night. He rushed to the car and was a little negligent about boxing, so he asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to bring Xiao Sizi with him.
The two agreed happily, but when they finished supper and went out, they followed Bao Yan and Pang Yu.
Bao Yan heard that there were many books in the market in the south of the city. This time he followed Mr. Bao on a tour. In addition to assisting in investigating the case, he also had a special job, which was to buy books. The local chronicles and geographical chronicles in the places where he passed, including customs and humanities, would collect as much as he could, and go back to expand the library in Kaifeng Prefecture.
Pang Yu was responsible for helping him move books and asking for gossip along the way... Although he always asked some questions about some or no, sometimes it could come in handy.
Four big and two little girls, plus Xiaowu, left Yingxue Palace together. Not far away, Ziying and Zheying also arrived, following behind and chatting
It was almost dark at this time. Bai Yutang told everyone that the market in the south was very lively, and there were many fun and delicious foods at night.
Zhan Zhao subconsciously felt that he didn't eat much at night, and it wasn't very good. In addition, he walked so far... he probably could have something delicious in a while.
Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "Where did your mother ask you to get things?"
Bai Yutang looked at the note and was a little puzzled, "Qijia Hutong west of Xinghualou, follow the second turn... There is a stone monkey at the innermost part of the house."
"Stone Monkey?" Zhan Zhao was curious, "Just like the stone lion, stone kirin, used to protect the house?"
Bai Yutang shook his head, "I don't know, it's the first time I heard that I have never been to this family before. However, the people living in Qijia Hutong are all weirdos."
"How strange is it?" Zhan Zhao was curious.
"Well, they are all buyers and sellers. The things they sell are not rare, but they are all rare." As he said, Xiao Liang and Xiao Sizi, who were walking in front of him, said, "You two can buy something in the shop at the entrance of Qijia Hutong later."
The little fourth son and Xiao Liangqi.
Xiao Liang asked, "Is there anything rare in that shop?"
Bai Yutang nodded, "The two shops, one sells rare candies. The owner of the candy shop is a Persian. He has been traveling around. The candies in his shop are unique, not only delicious but also beautiful."
The little Sizi and Xiao Liang's eyes lit up.
"Then the house next to sell candy sells toys." Bai Yutang continued, "There are many strange things inside. Then I knew that the row of book shops in the first turn was sold, selling various ancient books."
Bao Yan opened his eyes wide, "What an attractive look."
"I have never been to the second turn." Bai Yutang shrugged, "I always thought that the alleys were residents."
The market is not far away, not close, and everyone is not fast, so it took more than half an hour to walk. Fortunately, Xiao Wu carried Xiao Sizi so he would not be tired.
After entering the market gate... the lights were just around the corner.
Zhan Zhao and others have always thought that the market was probably a market or a place where many shops gather, but now it looks like... it is a very large city. Although it is relatively small, the sparrow is small and has all the organs, and it is very lively.
"Wow!" Xiao Sizi hurriedly grabbed Xiao Liang's hand beside him, "Xiao Liangzi, there are so many people here, you must be careful to get lost!"
Xiao Liang grabbed Xiao Sizi's hand and rubbed it - Jin'er is so good and cute!
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at the little fourth son with some powerlessness - although he was the most useless dumpling, he was quite protective, and he couldn't figure out the situation. This was somewhat following the Heavenly Lord... tribal bloodline? But where is he like Yin Hou?
Maybe the people from the Jianghu Prefecture who came to the market to visit at night also came to visit this market, so there were a lot of people. Zhan Zhao was afraid that Xiao Sizi would be squeezed, so he reached out to hold him and walked away. Pang Yu and Bao Yan clamped Xiao Liangzi in the middle, holding each of them with one hand. Fortunately, Xiao Wu was walking beside him, and many passers-by ran away with a "scream" when they saw it.
"I'm a little thirsty," Xiao Sizi said, hugging Zhan Zhao's neck.
Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang, who pointed to a teahouse in front of him, "It's just right, let's go and take a rest."
Walking down the teahouse, I looked up and saw the three words "Xinghualou" on the plaque.
Zhan Zhao was a little surprised, "Is it here so soon?"
Pang Yu took a few steps back and looked aside. Sure enough, there were many alleys. Although it was north, the structure of the houses looked like a family in Jiangnan... There were many alleys, with glazed tiles and white walls on both sides.
"Xinghualou dim sum is the most famous." Bai Yutang brought everyone into the door. Sure enough, the guy who came out knew him, "Oh! Fifth Master!"
The guy said, the original noisy teahouse suddenly became quiet. At the same time, many people looked back. Their gazes were shifted from Bai Yutang to Zhan Zhao, and from Zhan Zhao to Pang Yu Baoyan. The Shadow Guard and the two children... including the big tiger were all looked at.
All this happened in an instant, and the man said the second sentence, "Fifth Master, you haven't come some days!"
"Oh, I'm looking forward to it." The shopkeeper of the teahouse who was busy settled the score behind the counter came out in person, saying, "I don't care. I must use my Xinghua Building's birthday bag for Mr. Bai's birthday! I'm ready."
Bai Yutang smiled and nodded, "That's certain, it's the same as in previous years. You should put osmanthus flowers and not lard."
"I understand!" The shopkeeper led everyone upstairs with a smile.
At this time, the many guests who had originally looked at Bai Yutang and others had already returned to their original form, so they should do whatever they should do... Of course, it was just on the surface.
Zhan Zhao carefully observed and found that almost everyone was looking at this place... and tried his best to be calm.
Zhan Zhao hugged Xiao Sizi and went upstairs. The two shadow guards had already discovered that something was wrong. Even Bao Yan and Pang Yu felt inexplicable hostility - in fact, this was a state of snooping and defense. Whoever hates you or spying on you, normal people would more or less feel a strange thing in the air - what's going on?
After going upstairs, I arrived at a elegant seat. The shopkeeper enthusiastically introduced Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang to the store's signature snacks.
Xiao Sizi ordered some for everyone.
Recently, he has been ordering dishes... The main reason is that Xiao Sizi is too unintentional and is often in a hesitant state, and the adults have the final say in everything. Gongsun is a little troubled about this. Seeing that Zhao Pu teaches Xiao Liang so well, he asked him to train Xiao Sizi to give him some advice. Zhao Pu came up with Xiao Sizi's trick to order dishes.
Speaking of which, although Xiao Sizi is usually dull and plays with her own things, she is always dazed and distracted. In fact, this kid is very good at observing and understanding. He can order food at no more or less every time, and he also knows almost everyone’s preferences. Even Zhao Pu’s large group of shadow guards, although Xiao Sizi is confused about his name, he knows who likes to eat and what he doesn’t like to eat... In Ouyang’s words, this is called - attracting people! Who does he love?
When the snack came up, the guy closed the door and left. Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "Is it because you recruit people like this every time you go on tour... Or is it a little special this time? I didn't see so many people watching you when I was in Kaifeng."
Pang Yu and Bao Yan also nodded.
Bai Yutang shook his head, "I have never been before, and most of them are martial arts practitioners, don't you think?"
Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "Those people in the martial arts world seem to be mysterious and secretly trying to speak... Is there something they know, don't we know?"
Bai Yutang thought about it and frowned slightly. Zhan Zhao's seemingly unintentional words really gave him a reminder.
After thinking about it, Bai Yutang walked to the window and looked down. After searching for a while, he suddenly whistled...
Then everyone saw Bai Yutang throwing a ingot of silver down and said, "Call Bao Bao to find out."
"Okay." The person below agreed.
Bai Yutang returned to the table.
Zhan Zhao knew that Baochao was not a specific person, but a profession in the martial arts world, usually from the Beggars' Sect or a gangster... They are basically the most well-informed people in the local area.
After a while, someone knocked on the door.
"Come in."
The door opened, and a thin middle-aged man in his forties and fifties leaned in and came in, "Yo! Wu Ye."
Bai Yutang waved to him.
The man ran in and rubbed his hands, "Fifth Master hasn't seen him for a while."
Bai Yutang threw a ingot of silver for him, "What's wrong?"
"Hehe." Bao Chat put the heavy silver into his arms, and seemed quite satisfied. He leaned closer and lowered his voice to everyone, "Fifth Master, something happened, but no one should dare to chew this tongue with you."
Zhan Zhao was curious, "What can I say?"
"It's not that I can't say it, but I might be chopped up by the fifth master." Bao Chat laughed helplessly, "Besides, it's just a rumor. It's just a rumor that has just been spread recently. Some people believe it and some people don't believe it, and most people just wait and see."
"I've talked for a long time." Bai Yutang frowned, "What the hell is it?"
Bao Tak and thought about it, "Hey, Master Wu, you asked me to say it. I said you can't be angry with me!"
