Chapter 267: The Little Fox Can't Afford It
The next day, Xi Cheng came with her mother.
The mother and daughter are both talkative and good-natured, Xi Cheng and the Wen sisters tease the cat together, and the Xi family wife and the Cao family talk some interesting things in Beijing.
Cao's family is a delicate person, but unfortunately after entering Beijing, he lost the wives he used to get along with, and he was still a little embarrassed.
Xi Cheng was extremely curious about Ebony, she naturally knew that there was a cat who had been crowned an official, and she also heard that this official cat could ride a horse.
It's also a cat, your own raccoon cat, how can you just know how to eat and sleep.
Ebony was standing in the water tank watching the fish, and was unhappy to be looked at by Xi Cheng, and meowed twice.
The fish in the water spit bubbles, as if mocking the "feng shui turns".
Wen Hui measured the shape of the tanuki cat and recorded them one by one.
Wen Jing observed carefully and discussed the style, materials and details with Xi Cheng.
The stone table in the courtyard was spread out with pen and ink, and Wen Jing pondered and painted at the same time, revising from time to time.
It's all about doing what you like, and no one will get bored of it in the afternoon, but will never get tired of it.
Mama Wu prepared Lin'an-flavored dim sum, Xi Cheng liked it, and finally brought back a small box.
The next day, the Xi family sent cloth accessories to Yanzi Hutong, a total of three sets of clothes.
After half a month, life passed smoothly and comfortably.
The weather is getting warmer, and even the night breeze brings warmth.
Xi Cheng came to visit once, brought a friend who also has a cat, and was looking forward to a basket of cut cloth.
That friend is also a cool one, first gave the fixed silver, and then said good things to Wen Hui, asking her to leave her time for herself after finishing Xi Cheng, and don't cut the queue for others.
"It's hard to say," Xi Cheng poured cold water on the side with a grin, "Niangniang is also worried." ”
Concubine Ying can still bear it at this time, and when she sees the new clothes of the tanuki cat, she must be tickling in her heart.
If she has no relatives and no reason, it is inconvenient for her to invite the Wen sisters, but she can ask Cheng An to summon her on her behalf.
Wen Hui didn't dare to schedule too much time, their sisters still had to learn to ride horses, and they had to go to Zhuangzi in three or five days.
She had already mastered a little bit of the doorway, and it was the time when the learning mood was at its highest.
In such a stable life, if there is anyone who is not satisfied, it must be Ebony.
Its dark horse is still only appreciable, not playable.
Wen Yan hasn't been to Xihua Hutong recently, because Huo Yixiao is so busy that he can't go back to the house for dinner.
The six views on politics are very important to any prince.
Even Zhu Huan, who was intoxicated with calligraphy and painting, did not dare to slack off in government affairs, let alone live in a daze.
Zhu Huan was serious, he arrived at the household yamen early in the morning, and after staying at the yamen, he would also follow a few old officials to study and sort out, and look through the documents of previous years in the treasury little by little.
In addition to breakfast, Zhu Huan's lunch and dinner were all used in the yamen.
Huo Yixiao naturally couldn't be lazy, and he wouldn't be empty until Zhu Huan returned to the palace.
By this time, it was already nightfall.
Huo Yixiao didn't want to go back to Shuyu Palace, so he simply went to Xihua Hutong.
The house was quiet, Huo Yixiao didn't let the hidden thunder light the lamp, but only brought a small stove, and the stove warmed the wine.
Huo Yixiao took a sip of wine.
The altar was newly opened, and the hidden thunder had just been brought out of the cellar.
The wine is still the same as before, but in this batch, I don't know what ingredients were added to Wen Yan, and the taste is completely different.
The entrance is more and more soft and mild, with a sweet aftertaste, which is very palatable.
And he sat in the courtyard and drank alone.
Speaking of which, since he went to the Yamen, Huo Yixiao has not been happy, but he is not so bad.
Probably don't have to see Zhu Mao and Zhu Yu all day long.
The two of them are also focused on government affairs, even if the six yamen are next to each other, they will not wander around the door when there is nothing to do, and there is a lot more distance than when they looked up and didn't look down in the Xi Yuan Hall before.
If there's anything bad about it, it's that it's too quiet.
I've heard a lot of little foxes and black cats muttering, and I'm really not used to such quietness.
Suddenly, Huo Yixiao heard a slight noise, as if something had broken the silence.
There is no moon tonight, and the light source only comes from the almost negligible fire around him, Huo Yixiao frowned, and searched for it quietly.
Fortunately, the other party had no intention of hiding with him.
In the dark night, the black cat meowed.
Huo Yixiao relied on his good night vision, and from the trembling of the branches, he saw the cat that jumped off the courtyard wall.
Ebony took a step and arrived in front of Huo Yixiao.
It came to see the big carp.
Several times I went to Zhuangzi, but the black horse refused to pay attention to it.
Wen Yan has not come to Xihua Hutong recently, and Ebony can't even look at the big carp.
Neither of them was found, which made it very itchy, and tonight after reading and reading, it slipped out to see the fish.
Unexpectedly, Huo Yixiao was here.
Ebony tilted her head and whined to beg for a horse.
It's a pity that Wen Yan is not there, no matter how much praise and appreciation it has for the dark horse, Huo Yixiao can't understand it.
One person and one cat, with big eyes and small eyes.
Before Huo Yixiao reached out to touch Ebon'er's head, the black cat dodged and went to the stone slab to watch the fish.
Anyway, Huo Yixiao didn't understand, and it would be a waste to say anything.
People drink wine, cats watch fish, and the two sides are appropriate.
In the alley, the husband passed by.
The wine jug was empty, and Huo Yixiao didn't add any more.
Yin Lei extinguished the fire and asked in a low voice, "Master, Hei Tan'er went out, does Miss Wen know?" ”
Where did Huo Yixiao know the answer, and glanced at Yin Lei.
Yin Lei said again: "If Hei Tan'er doesn't return overnight, Miss Wen is afraid that she will be in a hurry, in the past, didn't the palace still have to find Bai Yutuan from time to time?" ”
Huo Yixiao laughed.
As for the ghost spirit of Ebony, don't go to scare Amitabha Buddha at night, what else can it do to be anxious?
Wen Yan also commented, saying that Ebony was hungry and wanted to go home to drink fish soup.
"Ebony went back by herself, and sent it back to Miss Wen for her, that's different." Hidden Thunder Road.
Huo Yixiao scoffed.
What's the difference?
Selling favors to little foxes?
If you really want to count it as a favor, nothing else, just 10,000 taels of silver, the little fox can't afford to pay it back.
Oh, it's the other way around.
It was he who filled in the silver, and then followed up with all kinds of things, preparing fur for her, asking for a doctor for her, and now ......
Now I have to carry Ebony back for the little fox.
Tut! This trade has gone to heaven!
Huo Yixiao pursed his lips, and between his mouths, the sweetness of the wine was still there.
Forget it, for the sake of these wines.
The tea leaves in Wenyan are also quite good.
At this hour, the warm banquet should not have stopped.
"Ebony," Huo Yixiao got up, called, saw Ebony followed the sound and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back to Yanzi Hutong." ”
