That night, Chen Chenglu called the housekeeper over for a routine questioning. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Has Lord Huang's Mansion gone up?" Chen Chenglu asked.
"Go, and take all the money!" The butler replied cautiously.
Chen Chenglu snorted coldly and said: "These scholars are also shameless, one set on the surface and one behind the other, they want to be a watch and set up an archway!" ”
"What about Liu Xin?" Chen Chenglu continued to ask.
"Nope!" The housekeeper shook his head and said, "Lord Liu said that he was sick, and he didn't accept the money, and he didn't give a face-to-face meeting!" ”
"Hmm!" Chen Chenglu nodded and said, "Okay, as long as Huang Xiong doesn't come out of the fork, this Liu Xin can't make any waves, you go down and rest early." Bill, by the way, tell the fourth aunt too much, you don't have to come over at night, don't forget to wash the big cat before going to bed! ”
The name of this dog is called Big Cat, which looks not much bigger than a cat, but in fact, few people know that this dog is called Peony Dog, which is a pet specially bred by the royal court, and generally speaking, people are not allowed to feed it privately.
The big cat was made by Chen Chenglu from a certain palace at a great price, but fortunately, no one in the people knew this kind of dog, so no one made a fuss.
"Yes, sir!" The butler bowed and went out.
Chen Chenglu finally put his mind at ease, picked up the book in the study and read it for a while, then lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.
In the morning, a bright light from outside shines into the room.
Chen Chenglu woke up from his sleep, took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes, and the object was a fluffy thing, he rubbed his eyes again, and the thing in front of him became clear.
"Big cat, why did you come to me!" Chen Chenglu was dizzy, talking to himself while stroking the big cat's body with his hand, which was a little wet and sticky under his hand.
He rolled over from the bed in a startled manner, and then, with a loud "ah......" and shouted: "Come on, come on, little tiger, little tiger!" ”
The subordinates ran in from outside, and the housekeeper saw the boss's embarrassed appearance and asked, "Master, what's wrong?" ”
Chen Chenglu raised his hand indifferently and said, "Little, little tiger!" ”
"The young master is having breakfast!" The housekeeper was a little puzzled and asked in a low voice, "Sir, do you have a nightmare?" ”
When Chen Chenglu heard that his son was having breakfast, his heart relaxed a little, but when he saw the bloody dog head next to his pillow, he couldn't help but shiver.
"Bang!"
The dog's head with a little blood was thrown to the ground by Chen Chenglu.
The housekeeper was suddenly shocked and said, "This, this, big cat?" ”
"Master, what's going on?"
"What else do I ask you?" Chen Chenglu was a little trembling.
"Early in the morning, we helped the young master find the big cat and couldn't find it, it turned out that it was killed by someone!" The housekeeper picked up the dog's head, his face was a little sad, and said, "If the young master knows that the big cat has ......?"
"Don't cry!" Chen Chenglu simply put on his coat, "Where is the young master?" ”
"Breakfast in the East Wing!"
"Go, call the old man over, and say that I have 100,000 urgent things!" Chen Chenglu left the housekeeper, pulled his shoes and ran all the way, and it took less than two minutes to run to the east wing.
In the east wing, Hu was accompanying Xiaohu to breakfast, mixed with Xiaohu's noise.
"Little Tiger, Little Tiger!" When Chen Chenglu heard his son's voice, he suddenly felt warm, ran straight to Xiaohu, dragged him into his arms, and hugged him tightly: "Good son, you're fine!" ”
"The master is up!" Hu Shi shouted outside: "Add a pair of dishes and chopsticks to the master!" ”
"No hurry!" Chen Chenglu waved his hand, took a deep breath, and asked calmly, "You slept with Xiaohu last night?" ”
"Yes, didn't you tell me, sir?"
"What about the big cats? When was it lost? Chen Chenglu asked.
"Alas, I don't know where the big cat went, I also washed it last night, and it disappeared when I got up early this morning, and the big cat is usually very well-behaved, so it shouldn't run out by itself."
"Yes, Daddy, you find me a big cat back!"
"Goo, goo!"
On the dining table, there is an iron delicate hot pot, which is heated with alcohol below, and a piece of meat is placed in the pot above, as well as various green vegetables and a few red peppers, plus half a pot of purple soup.
"What is this?" Chen Chenglu asked, pointing to the pot.
"I want to eat!" Xiaohu got out of Chen Chenglu's arms and was about to clip it with chopsticks, but was stopped by Hu Shi on the side.
"Master, this is a spicy hot pot sent by Erniu Restaurant, saying that it is for Xiaohu!" Hu Shi looked at Chen Chenglu's gloomy face, and said: "I'm afraid that they don't have any good intentions, so I will leave it here and wait for the master to deal with it, and I don't dare to give it to Xiaohu to eat." ”
"You did a good job, it's right not to give Xiaohu food, it's right!"
Hu Shi looked at Chen Chenglu a little strangely, and secretly said that the old man was talking today.
"Xianglian, Xianglian!"
Chen Chenglu shouted a few words loudly, and a girl suddenly ran outside.
"You, well, go and the second housekeeper call here!"
Xianglian went out, and not long after entering the room with a fat butler, Chen Chenglu asked the subordinates to retreat, only took the housekeeper forward, pointed to the hot pot and said, "Laifu, you taste this meat, what kind of meat is it?" ”
"This ......" Rifle felt a little inappropriate.
"Hurry up!"
"Good!" Laifu picked up the chopsticks, took a large piece, put it in his mouth while it was hot, and then snorted twice, chewed hard, and after a while, he finished eating a piece of meat, and said in his mouth: "It's so spicy, it's delicious!" ”
"What meat?"
"Back to the master, if I'm not mistaken, this should be dog meat!"
Dog meat!
Dog meat!
These two words hit Chen Chenglu's chest with a "bang", leaving him speechless for a long time. At this time, he suddenly thought of what Liu Yuanshan said to Xiaohu when he retreated.
"Uncle will invite you to eat hot pot tomorrow morning, okay? Spicy fragrant pot, it's delicious! ”
Liu Yuanshan's smile was like in front of him, but Chen Chenglu actually felt that the smile was full of deep malice.
"You, go down!"
"Yes, sir!"
Chen Chenglu sat weakly on the stool, like a defeated rooster.
"Daddy, find me a big cat, I'm going to feed the big cat!" Xiaohu shook his arm beside him.
He smiled bitterly, pointed to the hot pot, and said, "Look, this is the big cat!" ”
"Ah......" Hu Shi finally reacted now, and finally understood what was going on, she screamed in fright, and her face turned pale!
"Someone, someone, Xianglian, Xianglian come here!" Hu Shi gasped, and after Xianglian came over, he pointed to the hot pot that was still boiling and said, "Throw it out, throw this pot out for me, the farther away the better!" ”
