Chapter 50: Checks and Balances

The two of them looked in the direction that Fangcao was pointing, and saw a huge mouse crawling at the foot of the table, and at some point it silently burrowed under the table. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Haitang was poor when she was young, and she was very familiar with this thing, she calmly picked up the small stool on the side, stood lightly on the side, watched the mouse climb onto the table along the table leg, and pounced on the riding suit of Zhou Yanzhi SH Tang shook the riding costume, but it refused to let go, but grabbed its claws even more deadly.

The rat was different from other rats, its head was a little crooked, its movements were not very sensitive, its two small eyes were red as if it were oozing blood, the fur on its body was also yellow and red, and its tail was like a small broom. It grabbed Zhou Yanzhi's riding suit and was about to bite, but Fangcao rushed over, grabbed the scissors next to it and poked it down.

Begonia slapped the stool on the spot, and the mouse suddenly lost his breath. Fangcao hurriedly called a little girl in and packed up her things.

"The front yard where the carriage is parked is so far away, how did this rat run over?"

The three masters and servants looked at each other.

Begonia was even more puzzled, "This is not the same as the mice I have seen before, the tail is so long and so big, and if it grows for a while, I am afraid it will be comparable to a fox." ”

In the Hui Garden, Han Gongsu squatted on the ground, concentrating on the orchid seedlings that had just been divided, and his usual servant trotted out of the house with a white face, holding a sleeve in his hand, and said in a whisper: "Master, I seem to have pinched the fragrant mink to death." ”

Han Gong stood up abruptly and asked hurriedly, "What's the matter?" ”

The servant spread the sleeve out of his hand, revealing a mouse-like creature with four paws facing the sky, with its fur red and yellow, its sharp mouth wide open, its eyes red, and its whole body stiff, as if it were dead.

Han Gongsu tried to pinch it, but before it touched it, it suddenly turned over, jumped onto the waist of the servant, drilled down its legs, and plunged into the flowers in the blink of an eye.

Han Gongsu was angry and funny, and said to the servant: "Why are you stunned, don't call someone to arrest you!" ”

When the little servant saw that the fragrant mink was alive, he was so happy that his tears were about to come out, and he hurriedly stumbled out to call someone, and in a short time more than a dozen family members each raised nets, buckets, pots and other things to surround him, and first surrounded the large piece of flowers with a net, and then went in to catch the mink.

The servant kept shouting outside the net: "There, east, run to the south again, be careful, don't hurt it!" ”

More than a dozen people grabbed half a cup of tea before they caught the fragrant mink, and the servant thanked everyone for his kindness, and then he carried the small cage, laughed with tears, and cautiously ran to confess to Han Gongsu.

Han Gongsu took the cage, sent the servant away, picked a few peony branches from the basket on the side, and came to the little mink's mouth. The mink bit it, dragged the flower branches in, and ate them one bite at a time, and in a short time ate all the petals, but pushed the branches and leaves out of the gaps in the cage.

"Little cunning ghost!"

Han Gongsu scolded with a smile, and was about to open the cage to drag the mink out, but he heard someone in the distance greet him with a smile from afar, "Uncle Han is so Yaxing, he actually raised mice." ”

But it was Zheng Chan who came over with a grin.

"How did you have the guts to come out?" Han Gongsu said with a smile.

Zheng Zhan's expression was quite relaxed, and said: "There has been no movement in recent days, I think it is because Shi Shenzheng has not taken a fancy to me." ”

He asked again: "I don't usually see Uncle Han raising these, why did he suddenly find a mouse?" ”

Han Gongsu sold a pass, "You take a closer look before you speak." ”

Zheng Chan was a little curious, honestly and unceremoniously stretched out his hand, opened the cage, pinched the mink's head and wanted to bring it up to take a look, but was violently struggled, and he used a little more force in his hand, but the mink stopped moving.

Zheng Chan was startled, and hurriedly let go, and the mink fell back into the cage, motionless.

"Didn't make much effort, didn't you die?" Zheng Zhan was a little worried, and looked at Han Gongsu with a worried face.

Han Gongsu laughed, "This is called a fragrant mink, I spent a lot of effort to find it from Dashi, this little thing is the most cunning, it will pretend to be dead when it touches its neck, you don't pay attention to it." ”

Zheng Chan couldn't help but take a closer look at what he said, and sure enough, the mouse-like animal had a long and big tail, and if you looked closely, its eyes were red, and its hair was different from that of ordinary mice.

He closed the door of the cage, and after a long time, the mink seemed to see that no one had been fooled, so he had to turn over and crawl to the corner of the cage.

"Strange smart, where did it come from, Uncle Han will find me one too?"

Han Gongsu said with a smile: "I met a big food seller selling gem blankets outside the gate, he raised them privately, there were only two pairs in total, and he sold one to others, I asked him to give me the rest, he refused, only gave one." This little thing has been fed with flower petals since childhood, and its nose is the most sensitive, as long as it is fed a spice for half a month, it can dig out all the raw materials of spices within a radius of twenty miles. ”

Zheng Chan's eyes couldn't help but light up, "This little thing can be used to find a recipe for exotic incense......

Han Gongsu smiled proudly and said: "You and I have a piece of together, I got a batch of exotic rose water from the big food a few months ago, and those big food merchants have all got into the eyes of money, and the prices are higher than the other, I plan to use this little thing to find out all the raw materials, and make it myself, see if they dare to slander me!" ”

Zheng Zhan sweated for a while, and hurriedly diverted the topic and discussed with him the problems he encountered when raising flowers.

They were talking about some wind and snow here, and in the vertical arch hall, Shi Xuan said with a solemn face: "This matter must not be done!" ”

Empress Dowager Tian frowned.

Shi Xuan explained: "Although it is no obstacle for the Protector to take over the forbidden army, Li Xuan has always been just a deputy, and his qualifications and abilities are not enough to sit in the first army. ”

Empress Dowager Tian pondered for a moment and said, "What if Li Di is transferred to pick up Zhou Yan?" ”

Shi Xu's heart jumped.

Li Di is the military general he recommended to the emperor, he is fifty and two years old this year, old in the military, and has outstanding talents, but unfortunately he is unlucky, and he is too peaceful to go to the place, and he is blocked by the Privy Council, and he has not had the opportunity to make any great achievements, and now he is just a lieutenant in the light car.

If Li Di can replace Zhou Yan......

That's the Northland!

The Privy Council will not agree!

But is there really no room for maneuvering?

Chu Zhen has always wanted to find a general Jin Wuwei, but he was stuck by himself.

General Jin Wuwei could never give it, but Wang Qin of the Privy Council could be transferred to succeed Li Di, so that the Privy Council had another vacant seat, and it happened to transfer Zhou Yan back and stuff it.

Once Zhou Yan returns to Beijing, Chu Zhen will naturally fight with him, and the scene is still controllable.

So how do you get the Privy Council to say yes......

Unconsciously, Shi Xuan really began to think about Empress Dowager Tian's suggestion.
