At this time, the people love to raise dogs, but it is for the sake of guarding, and the nobles in the capital often raise some dogs and cats as a pastime in their spare time.

Gu Yanzhang had heard that in the harem, Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Yang both loved to raise cats. King Ji Zhao Hao once gave a long-haired, white and yellow lion cat on the birthday of the former, the cat could not catch mice, but it was charming and charming, and it was very much loved by the Queen Mother.

Once the lion cat was lost, the palace could not be found, and also worked Kyoto government to help find in the market, and then made a big fuss, and was successively played by the imperial history of the great counselor, the son of heaven was scolded as a dog, and later found it back in the palace.

Among the aristocracy, there are many cats, dogs, fish and horses.

However, the ...... of the bird keeper

It's not nothing, but it's generally parrots and starlings, and if they can speak, they can be scarce and expensive.

From Tanzhou to the capital, even if it is non-stop, it will take more than half a month, at this time in the middle of summer, two birds follow the carriage and horse for a long journey, just the manpower and energy to be consumed on the way, not a few, if it is just to send ordinary animals, it is better to buy directly in the capital.

Unless these two fat birds can speak human language......

But whether it is a parrot or a starling, the reason why they can speak, the beak of the bird is almost longer and larger than that of ordinary birds, so that it can hold a dexterous tongue. Like the one in front of me, the beak of the bird is small, take a pine nut and put it next to it, it seems to be bigger than the tip of their beak, can such a bird speak?

Or is this actually a "bluebird diligent for visiting" in it?

Thinking like this, Gu Yanzhang glanced at Zhang Dingya, and overturned this thought in his heart.

Not to mention whether Brother Dingya has this mind, with his martial brain, he should not be able to think of such an allusion......

Zhang Dingya didn't realize it, only pointed to the two fat birds jumping up and down, and asked Lehehe, "Is it good-looking?" When I bought it, the owner of the shop said, this thing is like a ball, the top is pleasing to people, whether it is a girl's house or a woman's house, there is no one who does not love, put it at home, tease it, and can also be a pastime, although it can't speak, but it is more interesting than the parrot brother! ”

Squatted down again, went to pick up the bird, and said with a smile: "My sister is alone in Beijing, and she is very lonely, so it is better to have two birds with her, and it is strange and interesting to chirp." ”

Only then did Gu Yanzhang seriously look at the two birds in front of him.

Plush and fluffy, with two small black eyes, flapping its wings and tilting its head to look out, the left is hopeful, and it looks very lively.

"The shopkeeper said that this bird has been raised in his house for several generations, and he is not afraid of people and loves to be clean."

Zhang Dingya was afraid that the gift he was looking for would not be treated by this brother, so he explained anxiously.

Gu Yanzhang had to get closer and study it again.

Looking at it this way, just looking at the looks, it is indeed strange and cute.

With such a face and such a demeanor, even if you can't speak, it doesn't seem to be a very important thing.

Just isn't it interesting...... It has to be said by Qingling......

As for Qingling...... so as not to be fooled by the appearance of these things!

Gu Yanzhang, who had a sour taste in his heart, had long forgotten the white-bellied black crab he had given himself, which was inferior to these two birds I don't know how many times, if it was only about the skills of giving gifts to the girl's family, Gu and Zhang were actually a pair of brothers, and the two of them were half a catty and eight taels, and no one had the ability to laugh at anyone.

***

Although his heart was sour, Gu Yanzhang still sent the two white and black little fat birds sent by Zhang Dingya to the capital along with his family letter, and had to explain a few words about the origin of the bird in the letter, and asked "Do you like it", and then asked the one in the family if she should add a few lion cats, lion dogs, or beautiful fish to raise for her to play.

When the tuyi, family letters, birds and other things were sent out one by one, the army here was finally rectified, with 3,000 security troops as the vanguard, and the Tanzhou Xiang army as the main force, rising up and going straight to Guangyuan Prefecture.

This time, the counterinsurgency was not as simple as originally expected.

Jizhou said that it was a rebellion of the people, in fact, it was essentially a retrenched soldier in the Guangxin army, if they stayed in Jizhou and Fuzhou, they were born in Sidi and grew up in Sidi since childhood.

The two states were originally clean, although not as prosperous as Gyeonggi Dazhou, but they were also less than the above, more than the bottom, suffered more than a year of natural disasters, the relief of the DPRK and China has never been cut off, and more Yanzhang took into account the fact that Yanzhang was in Ganzhou to care for the displaced people, and after the villagers returned to their hometowns, they each had some surplus money to beg for a living.

This time the rebels were exposed, in fact, when they were really counted, they were not very convincing to the people, but they had to be persuaded by their fathers and villagers, after all, swords and guns are not long-sighted, ordinary people, who wants to fight?

With these prerequisites, it is much easier for the officers and soldiers to persuade them to take up and land.

It is also because of this that Chen Hao was not particularly nervous, but he was confident, believing that as long as 3,000 security troops were in hand, as long as one or two generals were sent into the city to persuade him to surrender, maybe he would be able to put down the rebellion without any fighting.

However, the situation became very fast, and the rebels actually abandoned Honju and went straight to Quang Nam.

At this time, all the information is from the mountains and rivers, the details of which are not known for the time being, but if they really take Guangyuan Prefecture, one Guangxin army has been stationed in that place for many years, familiar with the local environment, and the other is rich in gold mines, if it occupies the place, to the east is Hezhou, to the north is Yongzhou, Yizhou, sufficient weapons, food is enough, stationed for ten or eight years, one is not good, and can hide in the mountains.

What's even more troublesome is that once it is stirred into Guangyuan Prefecture, it will cause a toe touch.

The Great Jin Dynasty and Jiaozhi have been in constant friction in recent years, and because of the affairs of the Northern Barbarians, the DPRK and China have no strength to deal with it, but if there is a new force in Jizhou, which knows itself and knows the other, it is already troublesome to simply call Jiaozhi to borrow to make trouble, and in the end, if the Jin soldiers are cut and voted for Jiaozhi, it will be a big joke.

Not to mention that Chen Hao and Zhang Dingya led the army of the southern expedition to quell the rebellion day and night, and Gu Yanzhang was in the middle of the transfer, and the army made three trips and one trip, from Xiangshui to Lingqu, and in a blink of an eye, it was already in Guangxi. And Ji Qingling, who is in the capital, still doesn't know that after ten months, there will be two white-haired birds coming with the intention of "Brother Zhang".

At this time, she was talking to Liu Muhe, who was serving the sick, at the Du family.

Mrs. Du is not stupid, on the contrary, she is an extremely shrewd old lady, able to calculate, with the cunning of a very villager.

When she calculated for Du Tanzhi and the Du family, she had to compare the baht, and she was not willing to let go at all.

Whether it is the Li family's 70,000 yuan of fat powder money, the courtyard near Tianbo Gate, the fifty hectares of land in Huaxian County, the incense that a woman in the Li family renewed for her second son, or the Confucian background of Liu Muhe's family, she is reluctant to throw it away.
