Chapter 6, a cat with oranges
After dinner, Su Yu brought up the white fungus lotus seed soup.
This soup is very good, the soup is thick, the entrance is smooth, sweet but not greasy, in the dry winter, it is most suitable to eat a white fungus lotus seed soup.
Yao Jiaxin ate two in one go, her stomach was round, and she was about to fall asleep, but she heard two subtle "meow" sounds outside. Tonight was windless and quiet, so even the slightest meow of a cat was clear.
Su Yu said: "I'm afraid it's a wild cat from nowhere, so the slave will go and drive it away." ”
Yao Jiaxin hurriedly said: "It's so cold outside, let's let it in." If it is an adult wild cat, it is fine, but a small milk cat is afraid that it will not survive the long cold night.
Su Yu knew that his master was soft-hearted, so he hurriedly said "yes", walked out of the side hall quickly, and followed the meow sound, and found the little guy from the corner outside the window. This little lump is also obedient, fluffy, soft, slightly trembling, as weak as a chicken cub.
Su Yu carried the gadget back to the house and held it in front of his little master.
Yao Jiaxin wiped the corners of her mouth and looked at the skinny little thing in Su Yu's hand, about two palms the size, with messy fluff, and a lot of dry grass and debris on her body, looking miserable. What's even more eye-catching is the face of this little milk cat - half snow-white, half orange-red, contrasting and distinct, such a color is rare!
Yao Jiaxin smiled and muttered in her heart: The co-author is still a little milk cat with a yin and yang face.
"Meow~" The little milk cat with a yin and yang face barked at her pitifully, a pair of wet eyes, coupled with the gurgling sound of the stomach, and the trembling little appearance, it was called a pitiful one.
Yao Jiaxin glanced at the plate of red bean cake on the kang table, and then instructed Su Yu to pour half a bowl of hot water, throw the red bean cake into it, melt and mash it, and then gently put it on the ground, and said to the skinny little thing, "Oh, eat it." ”
The little thing was obviously hungry, and immediately struggled to pounce on it when it smelled the fragrance, and the little pink tongue licked and ate quickly, and the little tongue slipped and slurred, and a pair of front paws were pulled out of the bowl, and the whole cat was eager to get into the bowl. Yao Jiaxin couldn't help but smile when she saw it in her eyes.
Su Yu couldn't help but ask, "Little master, do you want to ...... Get this cat, right? ”
Yao Jiaxin glanced at her with a smile, "What?" Isn't it forbidden to have cats in the palace? ”
"That's not it, it's just ......" Su Yu showed a little hesitation, "The emperor likes dogs, so no one in the palace has cats." "For example, the main concubine Niangniang raised a Pekingese dog, and specially arranged a little eunuch to serve her.
"Oh?" Yongzheng likes dogs, Yao Jiaxin knows this, but she didn't expect the concubines in the palace to drive to such a point. However, it can also be seen that this yin-yang-faced little milk cat is indeed an ownerless wild cat, and she can adopt it with peace of mind.
Su Yu immediately sighed, "If the little master likes it, just keep it, just to relieve boredom." "The age of the little master has long passed the time to compete for favor, and there is indeed no need to be busy with those who have and don't.
While talking, the little milk cat licked the bottom of the bowl clean, and the little belly was round, but the pair of black cat eyes were still full of desire for food, "Meow~" The milky cry was soft and cute, and it made people's hearts melt.
Su Yu was not soft-hearted at all, and picked up the skinny half-big milk cat again, "Little master, this little thing seems to be full, so the slave will take it down to take a bath." ”
Yao Jiaxin hurriedly instructed: "Use warm water, wipe it well after washing, but don't freeze it!" ”
Su Yu couldn't help but slander, when serving the little master, the little master didn't necessarily have so many orders...... She's picked up a master and came back!
"And after wiping it, I will take it back and put it on the edge of the charcoal basin!" Seeing Su Yu walking fast, Yao Jiaxin pulled her throat and admonished.
If you ask Yao Jiaxin whether she is a cat party or a dog party...... In fact, she does not refuse to come, as long as it is a fluffy and cute little animal, she can be cute, a little rabbit, a little hamster, and Yao Jiaxin, who is fraternal, said that she wants them all. It's just that I have no choice but to go abroad to buy on behalf of others, and naturally I have no time to take care of pets, so I planned to earn the last money and raise a cat or dog, but the result was ...... She's dead.
Unexpectedly, not long after the crossing, a milk cat took the initiative to come to the door, Yao Jiaxin was itchy, and she couldn't wait to get her hands on it herself.
"Su Yu, have you washed it?" Yao Jiaxin raised her voice and asked, "Why don't you just bring it in and wash it, there is no charcoal basin outside, I'm afraid it will freeze." ”
"Little master, this is almost good!" Su Yu had no choice but to hurriedly raise her voice to reply. Then speed up the movements of the hand, this piece, naturally it is inevitable that it will be a little rough, rubbing the little milk cat meowing and screaming in pain.
Hearing the screams of the milk cat, Yao Jiaxin was a little anxious: "Su Yu, you light!" It's only a little bit, you can't be gentle. ”
Su Yu glared at the miserable little milk cat in the basin, and reprimanded with resentment: "It's all because of you, the little master has never trained me!" ”
The little milk cat shrunk its neck, pitiful.
Su Yu snorted, picked up the towel on the pestle next to him, carefully wrapped the "cat master" in it, carefully wiped it, and then walked into the inner room with it.
The cat that has just come out of the bath has a very elegant image, especially such a thin cat cub, with a red and white yin and yang face, and the white and red hair are soft and messy and collapsed, revealing a little funny.
Yao Jiaxin couldn't help laughing, "Look at this little miserable scene." ”
Su Yu couldn't help but think: "Where is this cat cub miserable?" I don't know how many wild cats freeze to death in the palace every year, it is blessed, it is raised by the master, and it will not worry about eating and drinking in the future, and I don't know how much to enjoy! ”
Yao Jiaxin was stunned for a moment, how could she say this, how is it sour?
"Meow~" The little milk cat wrapped in a towel made a grandmother's call.
Yao Jiaxin's attention returned to the little thing again, "Don't call it a cat cub in the future, just call it a mandarin duck." ”
Su Yu said sourly: "Mandarin ducks? This is a better name than a minion! ”
Yao Jiaxin joked with a smile: "I just looked at its face like a mandarin duck hot pot, so I gave it this name." ”
Hearing this, Su Yu couldn't help but laugh "poof", "Little master, do you want to eat the pot?" It's just that the taste of mandarin duck hot pot is too heavy, and your spleen and stomach are weak, so you can't eat spicy things. ”
Yes, her body is really weaker than a little milk cat!
Yao Jiaxin looked at her thin hands, hoping that her body would get better as soon as possible, she didn't dare to hope to be stronger, at least she couldn't fall down when the wind blew.
The second year of Yongzheng has reached the end of the year, Yao Jiaxin still knows the history of the Qing Dynasty, and he also has a certain understanding of his own situation. Yongzheng Dynasty officials purge, the internal affairs government must not dare to deduct too much, she is the main concubine is a "good person" who eats fasting and recites Buddha, she is peaceful, mixed and waiting for death, it is not difficult to ask for a long life.
At her age, she is twenty-eight years old...... Ah no, it is the "advanced age" of twenty-eight years old, in the eyes of others, she is already an old woman who is impossible to be favored, and naturally she will not be regarded as a competitor, which means that her living environment should be relatively peaceful. However, her popularity doesn't seem to be very good, and in the past few days, except for the main concubine who sent someone to send two boxes of white fungus, no one else has visited her.
But think about it, women who have a common man, even if their sisters and sisters are affectionate, they must be more plastic than plastic flowers. What's more, it's the end of the year, everyone is preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, who is willing to provoke illness?
The fourth master of Yongzheng has to keep filial piety for the first emperor for three years, and the concubines of the six palaces must be lonely and ruthless.
In fact, Yao Jiaxin's historical impression of the four masters of Yongzheng is quite good, diligent government discipline, rectification of the rule of officials, cleaning up the finances, changing the land and returning to the stream, apportioning the land into the mu, and the integration of the officials and gentry to pay grain can be said to be a move to lay the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and the reign of Yongzheng is also the best period of the Qing Dynasty's officials, but it is a pity that because the heir was not selected, many policies have died in government.
As a small citizen of Dousheng, Yao Jiaxin can't help but admire such a character. Similarly, she also understands that the fourth master of Yongzheng is a very difficult character to mess with, he is mean and cold, and none of the people who oppose him have a good end, but of course, as a member of the concubines of the harem of the fourth master of Yongzheng, her brain was squeezed by the door, so she went to oppose the fourth master - well, in fact, she didn't have the ability to go against the fourth master.
To be honest, she is not very interested in the current fourth master, Yao Jiaxin remembers that the fourth master seems to have ascended the throne at the age of forty-five, and now he is a bad old man who is almost fifty years old. She's not interested in soaking in an old man!
In the heart hall in the middle of the night, the "old man" who was correcting the folds suddenly had a very itchy nose and a big sneeze came out.
The eunuch in front of the emperor trembled three times.
