Ning Ying didn't know much about the breed of dogs, and the puppy in front of her, although Ning Ying didn't know what kind of dog it was, she looked at it...... It's a lot like a Shiba Inu!

She squatted down, first reached out for the puppy to sniff the back of her hand, familiarized herself with her own scent, and then gently scratched the puppy's chin.

The puppy shuddered slightly, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

But it quickly felt Ning Ying's kindness, so it didn't dodge and obediently let Ning Ying scratch it.

Ning Ying scratched tentatively for a while, and the puppy finally closed her eyes comfortably, purring in her throat.

Ning Ying knew that it had let down its guard, so she reached out and touched its head.

Touching it, she noticed that the puppy had a rope around its neck.

The rope was a little tight, sinking into the puppy's fur, and there was already a small wound on the neck.

Ning Ying tried to move the rope, the puppy trembled in pain, and the little paws trembled and stretched out.

Really, this owner is too careless - this rope loop is probably tied to the puppy when he was a child, and now that it has grown up, the length of the rope is not enough, so it is naturally strangled into the neck.

If it goes on like this, and it doesn't adjust all the time, when this Wang Xingren grows up a little more, won't he have to strangle him alive?

Two or three cold raindrops hit Ning Ying's forehead.

It was raining, the rain at the turn of spring and summer, the momentum was not great, but it still drenched the weak puppy with a trembling little body, and went straight into Ning Ying's arms.

The puppy's belly is shriveled, it's pitiful.

Qing Yang looked at the puppy, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and snorted: "Gege, this puppy seems to be ...... It seems to be ......"

She looked hesitant, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Ning Ying raised her head and asked, "Do you know which courtyard it is from?" ”

Qing Yang nodded: "Knowing is knowing...... This was raised in Miss Chen's yard in the past, and Miss Chen, the slave had also heard some things about her......"

The title "girl" in the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion actually refers to the concubine.

Speaking of this concubine Chen, it is really bumpy.

She has a good chess skill, coincidentally, the fourth elder brother is also a chess fan, and he has been to her several times specifically to play chess - it has nothing to do with Fengyue, just a candle is lit, and black and white on the chessboard fight until dawn.

The next day, it spread throughout the house.

is just a concubine, and being treated by Brother Ah like this doesn't mean to be greatly favored?

The people in the house who befriended Miss Chen suddenly became like a carp crossing the river.

probably thought that a great future was just around the corner, and Chen's courage gradually grew, and he actually dared to contradict Li Fangfujin in public several times.

After a while, that is, around the Shangyuan Festival, Chen coincidentally contracted a wind chill.

It's not that there is no good treatment, but the more doctors I seek, the more lingering the condition becomes, and I cough all day long.

Later, Chen's mother's family took her back and raised her with earthwork.

The puppy was abandoned by the Chan family.

The owner of the other courtyard was afraid that it was sick, and refused to accept it, so the puppy could only hide in the backyard, sleep in the open air, and some good-hearted minions gave it some leftovers, so that its puppy life barely survived.

Ning Ying touched the puppy distressedly.

"Wang!" The puppy barked quietly, staring at Ning Ying with black eyes, tears shining in his eyes, as if begging bitterly: "Take in Wang Xingren, don't throw Wang Xingren outside~o(╥_╥)o"

Ning Ying's heart is about to melt - this is a living little life after all.

Qing Yang sighed, and wanted to persuade Gege to leave it alone, no one can take care of it, and he still cares about the dog?

But looking at the puppy's pitiful appearance, she couldn't open her mouth.

Back at the residence, Ning Ying first asked the little maid Ting'er to take a cold towel to put on Qingyang's face, and then found ointment, and when Qingyang's head was placed, Ting'er poured warm water and brought it over and fed it to the puppy.

The puppy was probably thirsty, and after a while, half a bowl of water went down, and he devoured what Ning Ying fed, eating too quickly and almost choking.

After eating and drinking, it stayed by Ning Ying's side and refused to separate.

Ting'er called hot water, and Ning Ying dipped a handkerchief in hot water and wiped the puppy's body clean little by little.

In some places, there are dirty things, and all the dog hair is sticky into a ball, so she uses hot water and soap horns to wipe it a few times, and it is inevitable that the dog hair will be pulled.

The puppy's body trembled slightly, and he didn't say a word.

Qing Yang covered his face with a cold water handkerchief, ran over to see the excitement, and tugged at the puppy's tail with his hand.

After a while, Qing Yang grinned: "Gege, it's a little." ”

"It doesn't hurt anymore?" Ning Ying looked up and asked her.

"It doesn't hurt anymore!" Qing Yang snorted, and said nonchalantly: "Gege, give the puppy a name!" ”

Ning Ying was reminded by her, picked up the puppy, stared at its dark eyes, and said softly, "What should I name you?" ”

"Wang~!" The puppy let out a bark, spat out its little pink tongue, and shook the rope around its neck again.

Ning Ying patted her head and hurriedly ordered Ting'er to find scissors and ointment.

After rescuing the rope ring around the puppy's neck, Ning Ying touched its puppy's head, thinking of today's chicken soup wontons, and suddenly had an idea: "Little wontons...... Let's call you a little ravioli! ”。

The little wonton glanced up at the new owner, and seemed to be very satisfied with the name, "Wang! He screamed, hugged Ning Ying's legs, and rubbed his head on Ning Ying's legs.

……

The fourth elder brother's study.

Although this place is called "study", it is composed of several high and wide rooms, with reading books and places for resting, with high pavilions and clear flowers and trees. On a large square table in the room, a large pile of books was lit next to a very thick lamp and candle, which illuminated the room.

In addition to going to the backyard, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen likes to spend most of his time in the house.

He had just seen Ergege, but he didn't stay at Li's, and went straight back to the study.

Then, sleeping until midnight, he woke up hungry.

When he ate the pot at Li Fangfujin's place, he didn't have much appetite, so he put down his chopsticks without moving a few steps.

Lee guessed he liked to eat pots — and that's right.

But because he guessed correctly, Li began to play too much - all rare and extravagant ingredients were added to the pot, and the taste of mutton in the end was also nondescript.

In the Qing Palace, aside from game delicacies, the most mainstream meat, in addition to chicken, duck and fish, is mutton.

Sometimes there was pork, but not beef – since the Han Dynasty, emperors have had some taboos about killing and eating cattle.

Yinzhen wanted to eat the most ordinary and simple pot shabu mutton - the best part of the mutton was cut into moderate slices, put in the soup base and lightly soaked, and then dipped with sesame paste, pesto, and shrimp oil.

Very good!
