Cheng Shizhao was furious and lifted the red cloth on his head.

Kick that Huang Tian Gu to the ground.

Huang Tiangu fell to the ground and shouted, "Miss, how much did you beat your husband?"

Cheng Shizhao didn't say a word, pulled out a sharp blade he was hiding, and pierced it against Huang Tiangu's chest.

Huang Tiangu hurriedly rolled away, narrowly avoiding it.

Suddenly, he felt a heavy weight on his back, and was stepped on by a small exquisite foot.

I saw the little maid, stepping on him, and said with a smile: "Could it be that the uncle is drunk, so you are in a hurry to go to the bridal chamber with my cousin?"

Huang Tiangu was about to jump up, how could he know that the maid was so powerful that her back was like a mountain, so that he couldn't move.

Cheng Shizhao rushed over and slashed his neck with a knife.

One of the bullies, the fierce god of Zhenshan, died just like that, and went to the underworld to have his sweet dream of the bridal chamber.

The servants who had been tied up the mountain before shouted in unison, jumped up, broke the ropes, and rushed towards the other thieves.

It turned out that these were all carefully selected by Cheng Shizhao from the guards.

I was at the foot of the mountain before, so I didn't do anything and drank medicinal wine. In fact, it was quietly splashed in the dark, with knives hidden on his body, pretending to be in a coma. When he was tied up the mountain, he was unprepared, and he had already quietly cut the rope. Only when they are on the way, they will make a sound of harmony, and they will attack together immediately.

One more person rushed out of the hall and released a signal.

I only heard the sound of killing at the foot of the mountain, and I don't know how many people were killing them up the mountain.

All the scoundrels on the mountain all drank so much that their legs and feet became weak, and when they saw Huang Tiangu's death, they panicked.

Unwilling to resist, they scattered and ran everywhere.

Killed to kill, captured to capture. Cooked clean in no time.

Yu Xingzhi untied Cheng Shiqi's rope.

Cheng Shiqi was paralyzed on the ground, crying and crying.

Cheng Shizhao stomped his feet and said, "Cry so much! Look at you, you are a shameful bear, you are not even a mother-in-law. Don't get up for me."

Cheng Shiqi cried and said: "I'm fortunate that my brothers came in time, otherwise my life would end. Woohoo, my legs are as soft as dough, I'm so weak, I really can't get up."

King Yan had no choice but to reach out to help him.

Cheng Shiqi was crying with snot and tears, but when he raised his head, he saw the usually domineering and fierce imperial brother, now wearing a bun, messy golden hairpins, broken Luo skirt, blush lipstick on his face, eyebrow painting Eyes, beautiful and moving.

He burst out laughing out loud.

"It turns out that my brother pretends to be a woman, but he is so beautiful."

King Yan immediately raised his eyebrows and turned into anger. He pushed Cheng Shiqi down with his backhand and walked away.

Turning to the apse, waiting to find a place where no one else was found, I changed into this shameful women's clothes.

But it happened to see Yu Xingzhi still wearing a skirt, and Zhou Xiaoxiao and Juanzi, huddled in front of the platform, washing rice and vegetables, busy.

Cheng Shizhao was stunned and said, "Xingzhi, what are you doing here?"

Yu Xingzhi raised his face and replied with a smile: "Everyone has been busy all day, and their stomachs are full. Xiaoxiao is rectifying and eating. I am afraid that she is too tired and I will fight her."

Yu Xingzhi's beautiful and charming face under the woman's dress overlapped and separated several times with the appearance of a modest gentleman in memory.

Cheng Shizhao felt powerless for a while, and he couldn't even say a word from a gentleman who was far from the kitchen, so he walked out slowly while leaning on the wall.

Zhou Xiaoxiao and Juanzi, if you push me, I will pinch you and watch from the back giggling.

Juanzi: "The first time I saw His Royal Highness King Yan, I just said that he was a black-faced Yama, and he fooled me to death. Now it seems that he is not scary at all, and he is quite kind."

Zhou Xiaoxiao: "Hey hey hey."

Bullying him is fun.

"Xingzhi, go and change your clothes, there's nothing to do here."

Yu Xingzhi stood up and said with a smile before leaving, "You should restrain yourself, don't bully your cousin too hard."

Although it was in a temple, the group of strong men were not real monks who ate vegetarian food.

In the kitchen, there are large strips of fat and thin meat, and big live fish with thick bowls.

Zhou Xiaoxiao first steamed rice in a large wooden bucket.

Then cut the three layers of meat with the belt meat into cubes. Put a spoonful of lard in a large pot, and when it is boiled, add sugar. Wait until the sugar dissolves, turns into a golden-yellow thick liquid and foams slightly, then put the pork in the pot. Stir-fry back and forth until the meat is caramelized. Add cooking wine, five spice, star anise, cinnamon, and a little salt. Transfer to a large casserole and simmer over low heat.

Another slaughtered live fish, deboned and sliced, marinated the fish slices, rolled them in hot oil, and put them out of the pan for later use. Restart a new pot, put a little oil, stir fry the fish bones back and forth separately, add boiling water and shallots while it is still hot, boil a pot of creamy white soup, add sauerkraut and bamboo shoots. After the soup is cooked, spread the oiled fish fillets, and then take it out of the pot when it is slightly scalded.

Everyone really tossed around for a whole day today, and the upper and lower people did not even get a drop of water.

Smell an alluring meaty aroma.

I saw Zhou Xiaoxiao holding a pot of crystal clear and oily braised pork, and Juanzi carrying a bucket of milky white and fragrant fish fillet soup.

Putting it on the table, he shouted with a smile, "Dinner!"

For a while, there was a sound of saliva swallowing in the hall.

Zhou Xiaoxiao, Yu Xingzhi and Cheng Shizhao, Cheng Shiqi sat at the same table.

Here I see Cheng Shiqi choking and chomping on the rice: "Woo woo woo, this meat is oily and not greasy and delicious. Woo woo woo, this fish soup is sour and delicious. The rice is also fragrant. woo woo woo ~~~. I have never been so hungry since I was a child."

Over there, Yu Xingzhi served Zhou Xiaoxiao with vegetables while eating, and Zhou Xiaoxiao served Yu Xingzhi with soup while eating.

Although the food was delicious, Cheng Shizhao didn't know the taste of it, and felt panic in his heart. After a short while, put down the bowls and chopsticks, and come out of the palace.

On the steps outside the hall, the guards sat in twos and threes, each with a bowl of rice and a bowl of fish soup. The white rice is piled high with braised pork, doused with gravy. Those on the march all love this big fish and meat with heavy oil and heavy flavor, all of which are deliciously cooked.

Jingwei from all over the world chatted while eating.

"This meat is so fucking good."

"Eh, Shanxi people like this sour soup, it's delicious if you add it to the dead."

"If you want me to say that this week's lady's craftsmanship is really good, and the characters are also refreshing. Fifth Master Yu's vision is really hard to say. If I marry a daughter-in-law in the future, I can find such a mother-in-law to live a good life."

"That's right. When looking for a mother-in-law, don't look for those delicate eldest and young ladies in the capital. Crying and chirping all day long, taking three to four. To live is to find someone with a cool personality and good craftsmanship on the stage. woman."

"I heard that Mrs. Guogong didn't agree. The father-in-law almost killed Fifth Master Yu for this reason."

"Why do you disagree?"

"What kind of family is the Duke's mansion? Naturally, he wants to be married to the daughter of the noble family. How can you think like a rude person like us."

"Nong doesn't know, if the fifth master Yu and Mrs. Zhou don't get along well, Nong can go and ask Miss Zhou if she looks down on Nong - oops!"

Cheng Shizhao kicked the talking people down the steps from the back, scolding: "A group of filthy scumbags, it's your turn to discuss the matter of the men!"

They were so stunned that they knelt down and kowtowed.

Guo Suren hugged Cheng Shizhao's leg and said, "My lord, calm down. The brothers are all rude, and their mouths are open. Your lord will forgive me."

Cheng Shizhao turned around angrily and happened to see Zhou Xiaoxiao's little white face sticking out from the door of the hall.

When the two were about to pass by, Cheng Shizhao suddenly stopped.

"This time, the king owes you a favor. After returning to Beijing, the solitary king will try his best to deal with you and the two of you in front of your aunt."

Zhou Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, wondering what kind of madness he was suddenly smoking.

However, she still thanked him with blessings: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your fulfillment."

How could he know that Cheng Shizhao suddenly became irritable again: "A woman, she doesn't shy away when talking about marriage, she is shameless!" She slammed the door and left.

"… "

What am I doing wrong again? This mood is cloudy and uncertain, and it is too difficult to serve, Zhou Xiaoxiao spreads her hands.

On the evening of the second day, Yu Xingyi personally led people to come to help.

Seeing that everyone was fine, I just felt relieved.

Yu Xingyi didn't dare to be careless, so he dispatched additional staff to escort him along the way, and everything was safe along the way.

Arrived in Kyoto in a few days.

I saw that Kyoto was prosperous, and it really was extraordinary.

Thousands of doors and ten thousand households, eaves and towers are piled up. Three streets and six alleys, full of people.

The group passed West Street, which coincided with the temple fair market.

Xingxing, civil and military business gathers here to shout and buy, all walks of acupoints performers along the street are very lively, the market is noisy, and the crowds are surging.

Zhou Xiaoxiao knew about Yu Xing: "Xingzhi, I still have other things to do, so I will send you here. You and I will part for the time being. We will meet again at another day."

Yu Xingzhi held her hand, reluctant to part.

Zhou Xiaoxiao took out a piece of secret incense paper folded in half from her arms, stuffed it in his hand, got close, and whispered in his ear, "I'll keep it for you."

Carrying Juanzi, he jumped out of the car and went to the market.

Cheng Shiqi shouted from behind: "Miss Zhou, you are not familiar with the place in Kyoto, where are you going? Why don't you stay in the mansion for a few days?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao waved her hand without turning her head, "Thank you, don't bother, I have my own place."

He Juanzi giggled and got into the crowd of people at the temple fair.

Yu Xingzhi kept watching her walk away until she couldn't see her back at all. Just now, he lowered his head and gently rubbed the slightly scaled dense incense paper in his hand. Slowly unfolding, I saw a cuckoo bird painted on the paper that looked like it was drawn with a black brush. A small poem on the side title: Zhou Shengxiao dreamed of being obsessed with knowledge, and hoped that Emperor Chunxin would support the cuckoo.

Yu Xingzhi stared at it for a long time, and was stunned for a while.

Cheng Shiqi leaned over to take a look, and sighed, "It's like a living thing. I've never seen this painting method before, but it's a bit of a skill. Miss Zhou is really a strange woman."

"Small tricks of carving insects." Cheng Shizhao glanced at it and snorted, "Xingzhi, she is a woman after all, she is so busy in the downtown area, and there is no one to arrange food, lodging, accommodation, and travel, but are you really at ease?"

Only then did Yu Xingzhi come back to his senses, and his face turned slightly red: "Speaking of which, I made my cousin laugh. We used to go all the way from Shu to Hanzhong. I was seriously injured on the way to escape, and it was because of her that she placed my younger brother to live. OK. Xiaoxiao is very independent and self-reliant, so there is no need to worry about such small things. It would be inappropriate to leave her with you and me. "
