Zhao Pu led the generals in his camp into the city in a mighty way, and the people were welcomed by the red carpet. Kaifeng Mansion, which had been quiet for a while, finally became lively again.

The battle of the Evil Emperor City won beautiful things, and the border was stable at this point, and the Western Regions were peaceful. In addition, the fire dragon gold was retrieved and the Silver Demon King was brought in. Zhao Zhen, who won both the battle and made money, was naturally in a good mood.

Originally, according to Zhao Zhen's personality, he must have to have a three-day banquet for the ministers in Daqing. However, no matter how good the martial arts of all the heroes are, they are still ** mortals. Heifeng City traveled to Kaifeng Prefecture for hundreds of miles, and it is inevitable that the boats and cars will be exhausted. And he hasn't come back for a while. Some have to go home to meet their parents, some have to go back to the Imperial Academy to study, some have to go back to the yamen to report their duties, and some have to go home to count the money. In short, everyone has their own things to do.

As a considerate emperor, Zhao Zhen asked everyone to repair their minds for ten days, and then come to the palace to have a banquet. At that time, he would reward everyone.

So, the team of cars and horses entered Kaifeng City, walked through the red carpet and greeted the neighbors' homes, and everyone dispersed and went back to their own houses.

This time, Zhao Pu brought all the four major generals, first took four brothers to the royal palace to meet the imperial concubine, and then went to the General Ouyang's mansion to see his godfather. Although He Yihang and Long Qiaoguang returned to Kaifeng for a few days, they had their own residences in the city and wanted to settle down. In the future, officials from various departments might come to visit, and there were many things.

Lin Yehuo also came with him. Huofengtang bought a few houses in Kaifeng Mansion and built a Huofeng Village, which was quite close to Zou Liang's General Mansion. Some of the small sects that were previously merged by Huofengtang opened martial arts escort shops and other sects to recruit apprentices. The deputy masters of Huofengtang also understood that since their master refused to leave Kaifeng, he would pile up his work in Kaifeng and let him do it.

Huo Feng hugged his arms and complained at the door of Huo Feng Village that the manor was not gorgeous enough, the courtyard wall was not red, and why the housekeeper at the door was a Qilin and not a dog, and he was kicked into the door by his deputy hall master Su Qing.

Bai Yutang was kidnapped by Bai Fu halfway. It is said that the Bai Mansion's treasury could not be piled up, and there were a few cabinets of the account books. The fifth master looked unhappy and said, don't go back to the Bai Mansion to count the money first.

Originally, Bai Yutang wanted the Silver Demon King Yin Hou to live in the Bai Mansion with Tianzun, but the Demon King seemed to be very interested in Kaifeng Mansion and did not reject living in the yamen.

The Heavenly Lord also criticized his disciple, "You are in Kaifeng Mansion for 400 days a year. Why do you want this Bai Mansion? Just burn it, so that you can avoid going home all day long to count the silver and affecting your cat raising!"

The fifth master really thought about it seriously and inexplicably felt that the Tianzun’s words were very reasonable.

In front of the Grand Master's Mansion, the Grand Master had already been waiting with several wives.

After not seeing each other for many days, Pang Yu had been tanned a lot. The Grand Master looked at his son and took him home for dinner happily.

The other students of the Imperial Academy also went home. Lin Xiao carried a few jars of good wine in the Western Regions and went back to the Imperial Academy to find Master Lin. Zhao Lan was also taken back to the palace by Ge Qing.

After the "family members" left the team, Zhan Zhao and Gongsun finally returned to Kaifeng Prefecture with several old and young people.

In front of Kaifeng Mansion, Lord Bao and Mrs. Bao had been waiting for a long time. Bao Yan got off the carriage with a small bag and rushed towards his parents.

Lord Bao smiled and Zhan Zhao checked it out. After a long time no see, he seemed to be a little darker again.

Gongsun and his son brought a large amount of medicinal materials from the northwest and sent them to the clinic first.

Speaking of the clinic, there was originally a shop at the entrance of Kaifeng Mansion where Gongsun was treating people. Several famous doctors in Kaifeng City who had a good relationship with Gongsun also came back to take the clinic.

Before Gongsun went to the northwest, he cured Shaodong, a rice expert in Kaifeng City. The owner of the rice shop, Chen Yuanwai, only one of his precious sons. The young master was still a talented man. After sudden illness, he was bedridden. After Gongsun's treatment, he was now able to go to the Imperial Academy to study. Chen Yuanwai wanted to thank Gongsun, but Gongsun was the chief clerk of Kaifeng and could not give away money, so he simply bought all the shops next to the clinic, expanded the clinic, and hired many doctors to help him.

Gongsun was shocked when he came back this time, but fortunately the shop had expanded, otherwise the medicinal materials would not be able to be put down.

After settled for a while, Xiao Sizi and Gongsun settled, they were busy in the shop to store medicine. For this reason, Xiao Liangzi was very dissatisfied. He had to hire more people in the clinic, otherwise Jin'er would be even busier and no one would play with him.

Lord Bao and the Silver Demon King greeted each other and personally led the Demon King into Kaifeng Mansion.

Next to Zhanzhao's Meow Meow Building, Lord Bao had already made a secluded and quiet yard for the Demon King and the Heavenly Master Yin.

Zhan Zhao took care of several old people and helped to unload the gifts and clean up the house. Xiao Wu was busy walking around Zhan Zhao. Yaoyao flew to the top of the Meow Meow Tower and flapped his wings. When he saw the familiar whole picture of Kaifeng City, it whistled happily a few times.

Zhan Zhao wanted to take a few old people to Taibaiju for dinner or something later. The maid Xiao Cui suddenly asked him, "Sir Zhan, don't you go back to your room to take a look?"

Zhan Zhao blinked, "Meow Meow Tower?"

For some reason, several maids all "pu" and asked Zhan Zhao to go back to the room to take a look.

Zhan Zhao's first reaction was that if he was not here for a while, didn't that rat make something?

He took Xiaowu back to the yard first. Before entering the yard, guard Zhan first looked at him... Except for a few more potted plants in the yard, there seemed to be nothing unusual, and there was no pagoda or pool.

Touching his chin, Zhan Zhao took Xiaowu to the yard. He glanced at the wall and a few kittens squatted there, quite handsome. It was probably because he was not born yet.

When he arrived at the door, guard Zhan reached out and pushed the door. Xiao Wu rushed into the door. He didn't come back for a while, Xiao Wu missed his big soft blanket in the Miaomiao Building, and was about to go in and roll and stretch...

But as soon as Xiao Wu rushed in, he heard a series of "meows" sounds one after another. When he looked up, Xiao Wu turned around and ran out, and ran away with Zhan Zhao who was entering the door.

Zhan Zhao caught Xiaowu and looked up, okay! Meow Meow Tower has become a veritable cat nest. It turns out that he is not here for a while, big cats and kittens are here for winter. Zhan Zhao took a rough look and found hundreds of cats, all kinds of them are available.

When the cats saw Zhan Zhao coming back, they rushed over with a cry.

...

Tianzun and Yin Hou accompanied the Silver Demon King to visit Kaifeng Mansion. The Demon King was very interested in the Miaomiao Building next door.

As soon as the three old men entered the door, they saw Zhan Zhao being pressed by Xiao Wu, with a bunch of big cats and kittens on his body, and they were getting out.

Fortunately, several servants came in with two buckets of food and knocked on the bowl before pulling the kitten away.

Zhan Zhao struggled to crawl out of the pile of cats, and rescued his own king of beasts. He sat down at the stone table, stroked his chest and suppressed his shock.

The little maid told Zhan Zhao that this year, there are always cats coming, and there are more and more big cats. A few days ago, Mr. Bao had already issued a list of documents, and those who wanted cats came with notes. In the past few days, the yamen runners went to deliver them by address, and more than half of them had been sent away.

Zhan Zhao was quite puzzled, "So many families want to keep cats?"

"Sir Zhan, think about it! This is a cat sent out from the Kaifeng Prefecture Office!" Several maids chirped, "Then our Kaifeng Prefecture cats will catch each mouse!"

Mr. Yin and the Heavenly Lord were both very happy, and Zhan Zhao felt that it was very helpful. He ordered everyone to send him off and sweep the dust after delivering him, otherwise his mouse would not dare to stay.

Just like that, the Silver Demon King and the Heavenly Master Yin were drinking tea in the yard, watching Zhan Zhao catch cats in the yard.

...

In a blink of an eye, five days have passed.

Everyone's lives gradually returned to the formality.

After spending three days with his mother, the Ninth Prince ran to Gongsun’s clinic to join in the fun again.

Seeing that Zhao Pu came to take care of his father, Xiao Liangzi went to meet Man Muhua with him. He brought back the Xingxing Candy recipe given by Qian Tianxing. Manji was preparing to launch a series of Xingxing Candy during the Chinese New Year. It is said that the two children told Manmuhua the story of Xingxing Candy, which moved the young master of Manji to cry. He waved his sleeves and said that Xingxing Candy was given for free!

The Silver Demon King really went to Taixue to teach. This man is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is well-versed in ancient and modern literature. Every time he goes to class, even the teachers who have no classes will move chairs to the door to sit and listen.

The demon king went to teach the Taixue a class every morning or afternoon. After the class, Tianzun and Yin Hou came to the Taixue to pick him up, or they would go to have a meal together, or they would go to have a tea, or they would ask Xiao Sizi and others to go to the theater to listen to opera, or to Nan'an Temple to find Weichen Wusha and others to play chess, and their lives would be very comfortable.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang have always been happy that the two old people in the family are happy. Tianzun and Yin Hou are now revisiting Buddhas. They follow the Silver Demon King to walk around the city, and they are always happy like two children. Therefore, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are in a very good mood.

...

On the sixth day after everyone returned to Kaifeng, it finally started to snow the first snow of winter.

Early that morning, three "tuk tuk" knocks came from outside the door of the Miaomiao Tower.

Zhan Zhao had already gotten up and was washing his face. He took the wet veil and flashed to the door to open the door.

The fifth master looked at Zhan Zhao with a little admiration. This cat was walking while washing his face, and his body was not wet!

When the door opened, Xiao Sizi was wearing a small red cloak, stomped the snow-covered boots at the door, and ran in and rushed towards Xiao Wu first.

Xiao Wu hooked his tail and let Xiao Sizi lie on his furry belly.

Zhan Zhao looked outside the door and was curious, "Little Four, are you the only one? Where is Gongsun and Xiao Liangzi?"

Xiao Sizi pouted, "Xiao Liangzi and Jiujiu are going to take the exam."

"Exam?" Bai Yutang sounded fresh, Zhao Pu still watched the exam?

"Oh." Zhan Zhao remembered, "It's the first test of the martial arts top scholar."

Bai Yutang is also very interested, "Is it good-looking?"

"Well... the first test is actually not good, I'm trying it out a little better." Zhan Zhao said, "Zhao Pu probably went to select people. There were many people coming to the army this time, and it should be the purpose."

"Xiao Liangzi said that there are more candidates here to take the exam this year than in previous years." Xiao Sizi took a comb and combed Xiao Wu's hair.

"What about your father?"

"Dad has dig a grave..."

Xiao Sizi said something, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang froze on the spot. The two heroes looked at Xiao Sizi quietly - Haven't they just returned? There is no case, what grave will the sir be digging?

"Is it an ancient tomb in the western suburbs of Kaifeng?" Bai Yutang asked.

Xiao Sizi nodded, "It seems that, Xiao Mantou and Xiao Xiaopang and the others went together today, Yaoyao also went."

"There is an ancient tomb in the western suburbs of Kaifeng?" Zhan Zhao was surprised, "I haven't heard of it!"

"My master bought a bowl yesterday, and it was given to him by the shopkeeper of the antique shop he knew." Bai Yutang said while wearing boots, "It was said that a few quarry workers had used thunder to open stones on Yuxin Mountain in the western suburbs. Who knew that a cave was blown up with a thunder in the sky. There was a coffin in the cave, and there were many copper and ironware around the coffin, broken pots and bowls. They brought some porcelain back and sold it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper could not tell which dynasty it was from, and they thought it was a fake. It happened that my master and your grandfather passed by, and they thought it was very beautiful, so they bought it, and only cost 200 taels of silver."

Zhan Zhaohe’s little fourth son silently looked at Bai Yutang, who was talking lightly - rat! Buy a broken bowl for 200 taels of silver. Do you think it’s cheap?

"Is it a fake bowl or a real bowl?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"Zun Zun said it was true, and Yin said it was false. They quarreled until the Imperial Academy yesterday." Xiao Sizi said, "Then the masters also started arguing in the Imperial Academy, some of them said it was true and some of them said it was false. Then my father was more interested in the coffin, so he went to dig a grave today."

Zhan Zhao was helpless, "Did your father go there alone?"

"No, Yaoyao, Zunzun, Yin Yin, and Xiao Mantou..."

The more the little fourth son said, the more inappropriate the fifth master, the more he felt it was wrong. "Only they? Then don't you demolish the ancient tomb?"

Zhan Zhao also thinks it is not very reliable.

"There are also little Lüzi and many old masters." The little fourth son smiled.

"Little Luzi?" Zhan Zhao wondered, "What new friends have you met?"

"Just... is Baobao's good friend, Dad's good friend, very handsome Xiao Luzi who always holds a compass." After combing Xiaowu's hair, Xiao Sizi took a veil to wipe the scales of Yaoyao beside him.

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "Oh! Lord Lu from Si Tianjian, right?"

Xiao Sizi nodded and nodded.

"That should be Lu Lin." Zhan Zhao gave Bai Yutang peace of mind. "If he goes, everyone from Si Tianjian and Hanlin Academy should have gone there. It is probably a recorded ancient tomb."

Bai Yutang nodded, "It sounds interesting."

The little Sizi continued to pout, "I want to go too, but my dad doesn't let me go."

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "The noodle restaurant I went to send cats to is also in the western suburbs. Why not take a look?"

Bai Yutang nodded in agreement, and the little fourth son raised his hand.

Zhan Zhao reached out to pick him up, "Of course I'll take you with me, but you're not allowed to run around!"

Xiao Sizi nodded, "Yeah!"
Chapter completed!
