Chapter 83: Ledger
Shi Gui hurriedly stood up: "I was passing by and heard the sound of a cat, thinking that the yellow civet came last time, and I wanted to give it something to eat, but I didn't know that even the kittens and cubs were born." The three kittens were all yellow, white and black, fluffy and huddled together, one next to the other, squinting and barking.
Song Mian remembered the last time the cat tickled people, he had met Shi Gui a few times, and he was familiar with her, so he smiled and said, "I only learned yesterday that it gave birth to a cub here." โ
Shi Gui took a closer look, and there was indeed a gray cloth under the cat, I was afraid that it was Song Mian's old clothes, and it was strange that the female cat was not there, and there was a credible person watching the child for it.
The female cat threw this litter of children to Song Mian, and after giving birth to the child, she brought it to Song Mian to see, Song Mian didn't know it, and quickly took a sweat towel to wrap them up, this time it's bad, the female cat only wanted three of them, and turned around his feet several times, rubbing and grinding, and finally meowed twice, turned around and left.
Song Mian was dumbfounded, this litter of kittens hadn't even eaten a few mouthfuls of the female cat's milk, and the hair on her body was thin and short, looking like she had been skinned, how could she live.
Song Mian squatted down to see this litter of cat cubs, he was also born in the countryside, he had seen a female cat give birth, at this time he brought porridge soup, and took out a brush from the cup, the pen head was bald, and the hair fell scattered, he took off the pen and fed the cat porridge soup with this hollow bamboo tube.
The little three cat cubs were hungry for a long time, their voices were weak, their eyes were not open, their noses were arched back and forth, and they would not eat the porridge bowl in front of them.
The tongue was pink and tender, the eyes were squinted, and the two small paws supported the upper body, and they didn't even have the strength to push on the hind legs. The fine fluffy hair, the pink and tender little claws, Song Mian reached out and touched it, squeezing his head one by one and arching up, afraid that he would treat Song Mian as a cat mother.
Shi Gui smiled when he saw it, but Song Mian frowned, how can he live with such a small size, he looked at Shi Gui and asked in a low voice: "You said last time, there are cats and mice in the kitchen?"
It's true that the kitchen wants a cat, but it's the big female cat, who enters the kitchen to regenerate the baby, there is food and drink and the female cat is protected, these small things can grow big, and now the female cat is gone, only the small ones remain, which one is still willing to raise.
What's more, life is cold at the bottom, and there are still people who peel their skin and eat cat meat in the famine years, so the three of them are sent in, and I don't know which one to give as a snack.
Shi Gui looked at these three little things really pitiful, if no one took care of them, they would freeze to death overnight, Song Mian couldn't take care of his own family, how could he still feed these three milk cats, so he simply pulled out his clothes: "Young Master Tang gave it to me, I raised it in the yard, and I said that I picked it up halfway." โ
Song Mian frowned: "I don't want the kitchen, can you keep it in the yard?"
Shi Gui laughed: "The sisters and girls in the courtyard are merciful, and they will definitely be willing to feed." "It doesn't take much trouble for a girl to have a cat in the yard, and it's the same when she's older and then she takes it to the kitchen, except that she is not allowed to enter the master's house.
Song Mian was stunned, followed by a warm expression, knowing that Shi Gui was thinking about him, Shi Gui didn't know why, but when he looked at him, he smiled again, and fed most of the half bowl of porridge and soup, and this little thing was in his hand, so that Shi Gui hugged him back.
She walked all the way Song Mian also sent all the way, thinking about the cat, and followed her all the way to the boundary where the bamboo forest first appeared, Shi Gui waved at him: "Don't worry, Young Master Tang, you can't follow anymore, there is a backyard in front of you." โ
The middle garden is a garden, and the back garden is a place where a few girls stay, Song Mian can't go in, so he just don't pass by the corridor, and he wants to say a few words to her, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, and watched Shi Gui hug the cat and bring it into the secluded fence.
As soon as Shi Guicai entered the courtyard, he called Liuchu to see it, stretched out his head to see that it was such three cat cubs, and said with his tongue: "It's so small, where did you catch it?" โ
Shi Gui sighed: "Where did I catch it, I went to see my sister, came back and took a shortcut, and saw these little things on the edge of the grass, and waited for a long time without seeing their mother, so I brought them back." โ
Six out stretched out his fingers and touched his head, the kitten trembled and screamed, not even "meow", the voice was thin, the eyes should not be opened, one was more yellow, one was white hair, only a little yellow on the forehead, and one was still with miscellaneous colors.
Shi Gui went back to the house, took out a small embroidery basket and came out, put a soft cloth in it, and put these three small things in it.
Liuchu looked interesting, hugged the embroidery basket, took this to Ye Wenxin, and covered it with a layer of floral cloth, which looked like a food basket, used for snacks, and sent it to Liuchu, Ye Wenxin shook his head: "It's โกโก dim sum again, I don't use that, I'm very tired." โ
Liuchu couldn't help but smile: "Girl, look at it, it's a milk snack, but it's not greasy." Saying that, he lifted the cloth, Ye Wenxin sighed, and then he didn't think that it would be a litter of milk cats, so he pursed his lips and smiled: "How did this come about?"
Liuchu pointed to the side of the door: "The girl's good disciple specially took out the female cat's nest, and this basket is worth ten bunches of bacon." She smiled as she spoke, and pulled Shi Gui over: "Hurry up and give this to your master." โ
Ye Wenxin immediately smiled, it turned out that he was resting on the couch for a long time, and he was still lazy, but now he became more and more arrogant, and raised a hand: "Good man, have filial piety." โ
casually gave a plate of milk cakes to Shi Gui to eat, Shi Gui took it and smiled: "I waited for a long time and I didn't see the female cat there, there are big mice in the yard, so don't let the mice eat it, so I brought it back." โ
Ye Wenxin hugged the embroidery basket, stretched out his fingers to rub the cat, the fingertips touched a little bit, the kitten opened its mouth, as if it wanted to feed, Ye Wenxin had not smiled so comfortably for a long time, wanted to hug but didn't dare, and ordered Liuliu to go out to the kitchen to ask for some milk and milk, and turned it open for these cats to eat.
Shi Gui hugged these cats, he wanted to raise them at home, and now Ye Wenxin is willing to ask for them, so it would be great, but several people have never raised kittens, and they are worried: "It's so big, how can you live without your mother, and the family has only raised parrots and poodles, and no one has ever touched this thing." โ
"Chunluo in the old lady's house specializes in cats, so it is better to call her to ask. "Mrs. Song originally raised a big white cat with mandarin duck eyes, and lost it when she stopped on the shore to rest on the way back.
Chunluo was a girl given by the Ye family, and when she heard Ye Wenxin calling her, she naturally hurried over and stretched her neck to take a look: "This is just a few days after the mother's womb came out, and the milk has not been eaten, so I have to drink some rice soup paste." โ
Don't dare to touch it, but she lifted it up with the back of the kitten's neck and looked at it: "Since the white civet slave was lost, the old lady has always read it, it is better to show it to Sister Yingluo, I can't say that it will meet the eye." โ
The original white raccoon slave was gone to the ferry port of the water, and he turned the boat over and didn't find it, and there were so many people coming and going in the town, a white cat, how could he find it.
Because the cat ran away, Chunluo was also punished, saying that she was not doing well, deducting her monthly money and not enough to compensate the cat, and now she is thinking hard to please the old lady, the old lady has always chanted Buddhism, saving the cat's life, and it can be regarded as making merit.
The golden civet cat fell into the jade beads, the old lady had raised it, and it didn't take long for the white civet slave to get it, there was a ready-made one at this time, just to offer it, Ye Wenxin naturally nodded, and asked Chunluo to send the embroidery basket over.
Mrs. Song couldn't stop laughing when she saw it, and she really picked one: "Those famous breeds are better than raising them from childhood to adulthood." "I picked one of the mixed suits, and the remaining two were returned.
Took away a cat cub, supplied Ye Wenxin with a pair of gold bracelets inlaid with red sapphires, Qiong Ying collected it, opened the makeup box, picked out a ring at random, and gave this to Shi Gui, the small box was specially used by Ye Wenxin to reward people, and the gold and silver coins and small Ruyi longevity fruits were all rested here, and I didn't know which one was given to the ring that I touched, the red gold plate flower, with a blessing word engraved on it, and rummaged inside:
"I remember that there is a pair of rings, why can't I find the other one. โ
The other one had already been awarded to Shi Gui, Ye Wenxin
There are so many gold and silver bills in the box, where can Mama Feng remember, Ye Wenxin swept his eyes: "Mama Feng wants to ask, just ask her to ask me." โ
The gold ring was given to her by Ye Wenxin when she asked Shi Gui to inquire about things, and she wanted to ask how she was rewarded, but she couldn't make up words to prevaricate, so she simply didn't admit it, Ye Wenxin stubbled this matter over, pointing to a cat called Erlang God, with a yellow hair between her eyebrows, as if she had three eyes, Qiong Ying hurriedly chanted the Buddha: "This can't be done, where can the gods in the sky joke at will." โ
Ye Wenxin frowned, he really can open the eyes of heaven to save the suffering, where are there so many bad things in the world, and he didn't rely on her in the two things, he simply waved his hand, leaving only Shi Gui: "Come on, I'll tell you a book." โ
Shi Gui listened to Ye Wenxin for half a day during the day, and he had to talk for an hour when he returned, and then assigned Shi Gui homework, dipped a brush in cinnabar, picked out the words she wrote well, and drew a circle on it.
Shi Gui has a foundation and is diligent, Ye Wenxin realized more and more that this apprentice received the right one, and a thousand-character text made Shi Gui memorize it all in a few days, and then took it out sentence by sentence to explain, and read all the "Kindergarten Learning" and "Disciple Rules".
The little girl is a master, where is the rule, pulling a sentence from east to west, and adding her own annotations, and everything is taken out, but Shi Gui listened carefully, not only listening, but also asking questions, Yu Xuan Qiongying was still Ye Wenxin at the beginning, how do you know that this lesson is getting more and more energetic.
Ye Wenxin said a mixture, but Shi Gui was in his arms, there are sages like Confucius and Mencius, there is still a statue of Confucius in the Taoist temple, worshipping the true prince of Tai Chi, and the rest, she pulled it back from Ye Wenxin's words, and slowly understood that the person who came first in this world is considered to have done a great career.
Ye Wenxin sighed once, and said that he only respects two people in his life, one person in the world, one person in the world, one person in the world, the one who is alive is the Yan family, opening a women's school to teach women's classes, the Suizhou generation has already changed customs, and the number of people who give birth to girls and spoil girls is gradually decreasing, but it is not as easy as the girl's family when the man grows up to find a living, just this is a great merit.
The person who passed away was Penglaike Zheng Houye, Zheng Houye called himself Penglaike, but it was really like an immortal who fell from the sky, regardless of poetry, he could not only steam wine and build ships, but also burn glass, and now the large piece of glass embedded in the window was burned by him.
The more Shi Gui listened, the more his eyes widened, so he took the meaning of this Penglai guest, and it was really a visitor from outside the world, Shi Guiyuan didn't think that he could do a big job, she knew in Lanxi Village, what kind of goal to set up in a place, and her goal was to redeem herself.
Ye Wenxin touched two booklets and showed them to her, saying that they were the poems of Marquis Zheng, Shi Gui can now read through the whole book, it is not difficult for her to be difficult to read rare words, and the benefits of literacy are becoming more and more apparent, Ye Wenxin thought about handing over the account in the house to her, and writing on the booklet if she got anything, which is much easier to recognize than sticking a red sign and painting on it.
Marquis Zheng's poems are nothing more than words and phrases such as "the scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice", but there are also "If life is only as first seen", it can be bold and graceful, Ye Wenxin sighed: "I hate that I was born late." Saying that, he gave the poetry collection to Shi Gui: "It's time for you to read Tang poems." โ
Shi Gui took the book, and before he left the house, he heard Ye Wenxin say to Qiong Ying: "In the future, the account in this house will be handed over to Shi Gui, she can read and write, but she can't remember it better than you, I can understand it." โ
Qiong Ying was stunned when she heard this, her eyes flickered on Shi Gui, and she calmed down before she said, "I have to tell Mama Feng about this." โ
