Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Okay, okay." Defang looked at Zhang Laosi, "Old man, you can take it, ah, go and sue."

Zhang Laosi looked at Defang, then at Baili, and seeing Baili frowning at him, he had no choice but to nod, but still refused to accept the case, the old lady came over to smooth things over, "Baye, it's not a matter of one or two complaints." The matter of the day, the old man and I will think about it again, you see it is getting dark today, I will cook some food, you two will eat first."

Defang looked outside the house, it was not dark, Defang said anxiously, "Oh, what time is it, it's too bad if you can't go back, what should I do?"

"Ba Ye, the city gate will be closed in a while, why don't you just stay at my house for one night."

Baili turned around and said, "What? Live here? Can you live in this house?"

"Baili! What are you talking about!" Defang reprimanded, "No matter how simple the house is, it's still a place for people to live in. If you can't go back to the city, are you going to sleep outside tonight?"

Baili looked aggrieved, "I know I was wrong."

"Know your mistakes and never correct them!" Defang looked at Zhang Laosi, "Old man, I'm really sorry, it seems that we really can't go back to the city today, so I will disturb you for one night."

"Where is the eighth master, you don't mind it, you just sit down and rest, my wife and I will cook, and it will be ready soon." Zhang Laosi took his wife out of the house, Defang looked at Baili, and saw He lowered his head, so he said, "What? Did you say the wrong thing?"

"No...it's the little one who made a mistake."

"Look at you like that, with your head drooping and your waist straightened."

Baili looked at Defang, straightened up slowly and said, "Master, look at his broken house, how can he sleep on that bed?"

"Then what do you think we should do? If it wasn't for you, my lord, I would have gone to Cai's Village. I don't know how anxious Madam is."

"It's all small faults, sir, don't be angry."

"I'm too lazy to be mad at you"

"Master..." Baili looked at Defang with a pleading look on his face, and Defang wanted to laugh when he saw it, "Look at your rambunctious appearance, go back and add fifty more boards!"

"Okay, sir, don't be angry, just add five hundred boards."

Defang patted Baili's head and smiled. The two talked for a long time. Defang picked up the bowl and took a sip of water. Suddenly, her stomach growled. Defang patted her stomach and whispered, "Baili...I'm hungry .”

"Master, please drink some more water. I'll go and see if they're ready to cook." Baili hurried out of the house to find Zhang Laosi, and Defang looked at Baili's back and said, "I still drink water, no matter how much I drink, I will still drink more water." Can be eaten, stupid guy."

Baili ran to the firewood room next to him, and found that there was no one there, and there was no cooking on the stove. Baili was wondering when Zhang Laosi and the old lady walked in. Baili looked at them and said, "What are you doing? Why didn't the fire start? Don't you eat?"

"Eat, eat." Zhang Laosi and the old lady hurriedly put the two baskets in their hands on the stone table, and Baili approached and took a look, "Didn't you just buy the vegetables?"

"No, no, there is no firewood at home. I borrowed the stove from the neighbor's house. The meal is ready and I can eat it right away." Zhang Laosi took the food out of the basket. I went to a few neighboring households to buy some ready-made meals with a few copper coins, including vegetables and meat, and a small pot of wine to take away. It looked really good, but the amount of food on each plate was small, probably enough for two people. Baili looked at the dishes, "I said old man Zhang, today is the winter solstice, isn't this dish too bland?"
