Chapter 20: The Scramble

Situ Chenlei stood beside Situ Yingsleeve with a smile in his arms holding the little black cat, completely unaware of what was going on.

Situ Yingsleeve fixed his mind and asked Caiqin: "...... Why did you suddenly ask about the cat? ”

Cai Qin glanced at it, and saw that the eldest young master was holding a little black cat in his arms......

"Miss, the slave doesn't know." Cai Qin tried to retract her gaze and didn't look at the little black cat in the arms of the eldest young master, "That's what the mother-in-law of the second door passed just now." ”

Situ Yingsleeve wanted to mix in for a while, so he said that he didn't see it, and he would tell his father about the little black cat tomorrow, but when he heard Cai Qin say that it was the mother-in-law of the second door, he suddenly sighed in his heart and secretly screamed that it was not good. - Because it was on the second gate that they met this little black cat just now, and the mother-in-law guarding the second gate could see it clearly, and she asked Caiqin to pass the word, in fact, to remind her of her meaning......

But if you hand over the little black cat like this, my brother will not be willing.

Situ Yingsleeve lived a lifetime before he rescued his younger brother, and he didn't want him to be sad and disappointed at all.

Besides, when he saw the little black cat, he began to speak, and based on this alone, Situ Yingsleeve was even more reluctant to send the little black cat back.

This little black cat seems to have only been born for a few days, so it shouldn't be too close to its original owner, right?

Situ Yingsleeve knew that if a cat owner had a kitten, he would give it away and would not stay at home.

Situ Yingsleeve immediately began to calculate how much money she had in her private house, or how much money she could borrow from her father, no matter how much it cost, she had to leave the little black cat behind......

Situ Yanxiang stood next to him for a long time, and saw that Situ Yingsleeve had been silent, and whispered: "Sister, it's just a cat." Since Xiao Lei likes it, let him stay. As he spoke, he said to Cai Qin: "Tell the master that we want this cat, it should be fine." ”

Situ Yingsleeve also thought so, but she thought about it one more layer than Situ Darkincense, that is, she wanted to compensate the other party with silver.

Even if it is raised by someone in the family, it is also someone else's thing, not your own, you can't say to stay, just stay.

Situ Yingsleeve turned around and was about to tell Cai Qin to reply, when she heard a burst of talking and footsteps coming from the courtyard gate of Zhiguitang, as if there was her father's voice inside.

Situ Yanxiang also heard it, walked down the steps with her skirt, and asked curiously, "Dad, are you here?" ”

"yes, Daddy is here. Dark incense, why don't you wait for you to have dinner? Situ Jianren led a few people to turn around the shadow wall with a smile and came to the open space under the front steps of the Zhigui Hall.

"My little black!" A servant-like man jumped out from behind Situ Jianren, pointed to the little black cat in Situ Chenlei's arms and shouted excitedly, "Sure enough, I ran to your house!" ”

Situ Yingsleeve glanced at him, and his heart moved: This person is a little familiar......

She walked down the steps, squinted her eyes and looked up and down, and suddenly remembered that this was the person who asked her to make way for Xie Wugongzi on the barge when she got off the boat!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Are you again? Situ Yingsleeve said lightly, "Why do you say it's your little black?" ”

The servant looked up at her, clasped his arms dissatisfied, and looked up at the sky: "What if it is me?" It's okay for you to hold someone else's cat! ”

"I said, how do you prove it's your cat?" Situ Yingsleeve said impatiently, "You should call it a little black to see if it will run to you!" ”

"That kid is holding my little black, even if I call it, it can't run away if it wants to!" The servant lowered his head and stared closely at the little black cat in Situ Chenlei's arms.

"Xiao Lei, put Xiao Meow down." Situ Yingsleeve said softly.

"Sister! Xiao Meow is Xiao Lei's! Situ Chenlei was anxious when he heard this, and he hugged the little black cat and didn't let go.

Situ Yingsleeves became more and more pleasantly surprised. Xiao Lei can not only say other words, but also sentences!

All these transformations are because of a little black cat!

Or, from the time Xiao Lei left her the hope of life in the previous life, she knew that Xiao Lei was not really stupid......

The fool who couldn't speak until he was eight years old suddenly spoke, and Situ Yingsleeve was naturally ecstatic.

Situ Jianren was also stunned for a moment, plucked out his ears with his hands, walked to Situ Chenlei's side, put his hands behind his back, and asked suspiciously, "Did I hear it wrong?" ”

Situ Chenlei didn't look at him, only stared nervously at the little black cat on the ground.

The cat was indeed very small, and very fat, and it couldn't stand on the ground, and its little short legs didn't seem to be able to support its chubby little body, and it was shivering all the time.

Can't even stand steadily, how did it run from someone else's house to the courtyard wall of the second gate of the inner courtyard of his own house?

This question suddenly flashed in Situ Ying's mind, she looked at the servant, and asked indifferently: "You said that this cat belongs to your family, do you have a certificate?" ”

"Credentials? What credentials do you need? I Xie family can smash a hole with spit, you don't believe me? The servant was very annoyed, and looked around the courtyard.

He knew that this was the Situ Mansion, and the Situ family was just an imperial businessman, so he dared to argue with the Xie family!

While sending people to beat their Xie family's slender man, he also grabbed the road with their son-in-law when he got off the boat, and on the other hand, he dared to occupy their cat! -- I really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall!

The servant rolled up his sleeves and looked like he couldn't give up.

Situ Yingsleeve pursed her lips and said, "Where do you live?" ”

The servant was stunned for a moment, "What? He tilted his head and pointed his ear at Situ Yingsleeve, "I heard you right, right?" ”

He's here to find the cat! How was he asked where he lived?!

"Does it have anything to do with me coming to the cat?"

"Of course it does." Situ Yingsleeve took a step forward, secretly blocking the little black cat's pace moving on the ground, and said with a stern face: "It's very related." ”

"Does it really matter? Don't bluff me. The servant was obviously frightened by Situ Ying's sleeve.

"Look at this little black cat, so fat, and obviously only a few days old, it may not even be able to stand up. You sue me, how did it run from your house to the courtyard wall of the second gate of my inner courtyard?! -- It's impossible to be good or bad. Situ Yingsleeve spread his hands and pointed out the problem.

The servant stayed for a long time, and when he saw that the people around him were looking at him suspiciously, as if he were a liar, he was furious for a while, and put the child's instructions behind him, and pointed in the direction of the north, saying, "My house is in ......."

"What are you arguing about?" A low, majestic voice came in, interrupting the servant's speech.

The people in the courtyard turned their heads in unison and looked at the shadow wall.

Situ Ying was stunned.

This person's voice is really special, just like the mandarin duck double purple and semi-porcelain Xun that her mother blew to her when she was a child, the sound quality is mellow, intriguing, vigorous and gentle, but it is not calm and detached from the world, but a kind of indifference with strong aggression.

The man walked around the shadow wall, standing in the backlight of the shadow wall, and his face was not visible, only a tall figure.

Although Situ Yingsleeve didn't see his face clearly, he immediately understood when he saw this shelf and this momentum. - Isn't this the fifth son of Xie who used to despise her and Zheng Hao with his back!

Of course, the servant of the Xie family immediately ran over and saluted him, "Gongzi is here." As if he had come to the backer, he turned around and pointed to the ground in front of Situ Yingsleeve, and said, "Look, Childe, our little black is there!" ”

"Now that you've found it, what's the delay?" The voice rang out again.

The people in the courtyard couldn't help but crane their necks, trying to get closer to the beautiful sound......

Seeing everyone's appearance, Situ Yingsleeve said a little angrily: "What your little black!" As I said earlier, you bring the voucher here! ”

"Childe, look, that girl has been messing around and refusing to return our little black to us......" The servant said aggrievedly, glaring back at Situ Yingsleeve.

Situ Yingsleeve was stunned by the servant, and his heart became nameless.

She didn't know why, but when she saw the servant relying on Xie Wugongzi's mighty appearance, she couldn't get angry.

Originally, this matter could have been solved in a more moderate way, but when she saw the white eyes of the servant, her mind buzzed, she couldn't care about anything, waved her fist, and said angrily: "I said earlier, this cat can't even walk, how can it run from your house to our inner courtyard?!" ――If you insist that this is your cat, please show up the certificate! ”

Situ Darkxiang was shocked when she heard it next to her, and couldn't help but tug at the placket of Situ Ying's sleeve, and said softly: "Sister, don't be angry...... Don't make noise, scare Xiao Lei......"

Situ Yingsleeve lowered her head and saw Xiao Lei looking at her with tears in her eyes, with a frightened face.

Situ Yingsleeve hurriedly softened his voice, patted Xiao Lei's shoulder, and coaxed him in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Lei, my sister will help you fight the bad guys, and the little black cat can stay ......"

The servant on the opposite side listened to Situ Yingsleeve's words, jumped up and shouted: "Who do you say is the bad guy?!" ”

"Shut up." The voice sounded again, stopped the servant, and asked Situ Yingsleeve again: "What do you say you want to do to return Xiao Hei to us?" ”

Situ Yingsleeve's eyes rolled and said, "It's better to be like this, the kitten is in front of everyone now." You and my brother have come to call it by its name. Whoever the cat crawls towards, it is anyone's. ――Isn't that fair? ”

"Fair size!" The servant was about to jump to his feet again, but when his master saw him, he immediately shrank aside, and bowed his head in despair and counted his fingers.

"Well, you go and call Xiao Hei." The man commanded his servant.

Situ Yingsleeve also hurriedly pulled Situ Chenlei over, pointed to the little black cat on the ground and told him, "You call its name." If it crawls to you, it's yours. As he spoke, he whispered, "...... It doesn't matter if you don't climb...... "At most, she will discuss with the fifth prince of Xie later, and take the money to talk to him about the ownership of this little black cat......

The people in the courtyard automatically let go of an open space, leaving the little black cat in the middle, and the servant and Situ Chenlei stood not far from the little black cat on the left and right, and began to call its name.

"Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei, come here, I'll take you home to find your mother's ......" The servant said as he glanced at Situ Yingsleeve proudly, because the little black cat had already begun to crawl towards him!

"Little meow, little meow, little meow, little meow......" Situ Chenlei didn't say anything else, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and kept shouting.

Situ Yingsleeve also stared at the little black cat nervously, eager to find a mouse to tempt it......

"Xiao Meow, come here, I'll find you something delicious......" Situ Yingsleeve couldn't help but help Xiao Lei and said.

The little black cat heard this voice, paused, turned around and crawled in the direction of Xiao Lei.

"You're cheating!" The servant fell short, and he was so angry that the green tendons on his neck came out.

Situ Chenlei cheered, squatted down and hugged the little black cat in his arms, and kept calling it "Little Meow!" Little meow! He also picked it up and rubbed the soft fur of the little black cat with his little face.

The little black cat meowed and licked Situ Chenlei's little face, and Situ Chenlei giggled happily.
