"I deposited money here?" Ling was stunned for a moment, and then understood that this was a nice saying that Qiu Lulan sent silver, so as to avoid him not being able to get off the stage.

If Ruan Qingyan gave it, he would have accepted it; But he has always softened his bones when he sees beauties, especially in front of a little beauty like Qiu Lulan, who is at the national level, and it is too late to spend money to show off his arrogance, how can he pull his face down to accept it? smiled lightly at the moment, "Sister Ning Yi remembered wrong, right?" I don't remember sparing the silver at the Nguyen family. Taking advantage of this, he shamelessly changed his name to affection.

But as soon as he refused to accept it like this, Qiu Yulan became annoyed in his heart: "What did this person want to do when he came here today?" Don't pull your cousin to give Penglai Yue Yingzhou Yue's cheers, right? ”

Because he had never dealt with Ling Zui before, and he didn't know his temper, Qiu Yulan pondered the wording, and didn't know how to speak for a while.

It's Ling drunk, who likes to talk to beauties the most, and now seeing that Qiu Yulan doesn't speak, he leaned over and took the initiative to ask: "How old is Sister Ning Yi this year?" I look about the same age as one of my cousins—my cousin is thirteen. ”

"Me too." Qiu Yulan said casually, and only remembered when the words fell, it seems that it is inconvenient for girls to report their age to strange men in this world, but Ling Zui has been through the wind and moon for a long time, and first said his cousin's age, and sure enough, Qiu Yulan was accidentally tricked by him - God knows if he has such a cousin?

Sure enough, Ling Zui's eyes showed a touch of pride, and said, "Sister Ning Yi is in her youth!" ”

You're so young! Lolicon!

Qiu Yulan muttered in his heart, and said lightly: "The little marquis is also just Shaohua." ”

"I don't think there are any girls in the Ruan family who are about the same age as Ning Yi's sister, what pastime does my sister usually have?" Ling Zui saw that she was not very enthusiastic, thought about it, and changed the topic, "Recently, the noble girl in Beijing has been raising lion cats from time to time, do you need me to bring one to you next time?" ”

Qiu Yulan was surprised: "Lion cat? Immediately, I remembered Jiang Yashuang's "Nian Xue".

Ling Zui nodded and said: "Now the noble girl will raise one, it is the Tao family that raises the best, I have a lot of dealings with his son-in-law, and there are newborn kittens to pick and choose...... I don't know what kind of appearance Sister Ning Yi likes? Dragging a gun in the snow? Whipping hydrangeas? Dark clouds cover snow? ”

Hearing the word "Tao family", Qiu Yulan suddenly remembered what he overheard in Ganli Palace last time, so he asked tentatively: "I heard that this Tao family is the maiden family of the Duchess of Qin?" ”

"Exactly." When Ling Zui saw her asking, he immediately shook his spirits and said with a smile, "The Tao family was originally a veteran of the Three Dynasties, although it had the glory of a seven-jinshi, father and son and three prime ministers, but there were also many unscrupulous children - cats and dogs, cockfights and horses, relying on family history, playing many tricks, and actually becoming famous far and near!" If Sister Ning Yi is interested in this kind of thing, it is definitely right to find their house. ”

Qiu Yulan thought to herself, no wonder Jiang Bagongzi wanted to talk about Qin Guogong's marriage to the Tao family as a continuation of the string, in order to win over the Tao family, it turned out that the Tao family was so brilliant before. But in recent years, it has declined badly, she has only heard of the Jiang family's hidden name Jiang Banchao, but she didn't expect that this Tao family, who had never heard of it, was once prominent to the point that a family had three prime ministers - you must know that the Jiang family is now only one person in the cabinet as a prime minister!

…… Speaking of which, the old lady Tao can also be regarded as indirectly saving Qiu Yulan, that is, she was enjoying the plum blossoms next door to the Xihe Palace, and she thought that Qiu Yuqing and others beat Qiu Yulan and made too much noise, so she sent Jiang Yashuang to ask for the crime, and asked Qiu Mengmin to personally urge Qiu Yuqing and others to temporarily rest the matter, and Qiu Yulan was spared from being beaten to death.

"Thank you for telling me, but now that my grandfather is sick on the couch, my cousin is about to die, and I am lacking in skills, so I am afraid I have no time to raise pets." Qiu Yulan groaned for a moment and said.

Hearing the meaning of expelling customers in her words, Ling Drunk was a little stupid, but was swept away by the peach blossom eyes of Qiu Wanlan, and felt that he was in a good mood again, and said with a smile: "Sister Ning Yi said the same thing...... But the lion cat is not a difficult thing to serve, I will send someone to send it back, you send a careful little maid to raise. Even if you die, it doesn't matter, anyway, there are many Tao families. ”

Qiu Yulan didn't want to accept Ruan Qingyan's things without asking him, and said, "But ......"

"That's it!" Ling Zui stood up and said sternly, "Brother Ruan and I are friends at first sight!" His cousin is just like my cousin! I only sent a lion cat to each of my cousins two days ago, how can I treat you badly Sister Ning Yi?! If you don't accept it, you won't give me face! ”

"Thank you very much!" Qiu Yulan saw that he was a drunkard and didn't mean to drink, but Ling Zui even said the words "don't give him face", he is the best face for a gentleman, and it will be embarrassing to refuse again, besides-with the silver Ruan Qingyan threw on this little marquis, it is also appropriate to take some gifts occasionally!

Ling Zui turned his anger into joy at this time, and asked again: "What kind of appearance does Sister Ning Yi like?" Oh, the so-called snow drag gun, that is, the whole body is snow-white, and the tail is black......"

"You can just send a white one." Qiu Yulan was anxious to send him away, but of course he didn't bother to listen to it, and intercepted.

Ling was drunk but stunned for a moment, and muttered, "Pure white? ”

"If it doesn't work, you can pick it." Qiu Yulan said busily.

"Of course, I remember that the Tao family happened to have such a ...... I'll send it to you when I get back! Ling Zui immediately said when he heard this.

…… Sending Ling drunk away, Qiu Lulan asked where Qing Kang Lizhang was detained, and was about to go over to interrogate, but he didn't know that the next person came to tell him that Deng Yi was back.

Qiu Yulan was a little ridiculous, looked at the sky and said, "Isn't he going home?" It's only been a few hours and you've been running back again? ”

"Deng Gongzi said that he had already brought the things he got home." The subordinate coughed dryly.

It seems that the reason why Deng Yi ran back was that he was actually going home to get something......

Qiu Yulan said: "Look at him!" Don't let him get near his grandfather and cousin - besides, the meat was made for his grandfather. ”

The subordinate answered, but did not leave, and said, "Deng Gongzi said that he wanted to see you." ”

"Nope!" Qiu Yulan said simply, "Let him continue to squat and walk!" A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and the horse steps are unstable, what kind of martial arts do you practice?! Who does he think he is?! Can you casually meet a thousand-year-old ginseng and 10,000-year-old He Shou Wu that can increase your power for 300 years?! ”

On the side, Ruan An exclaimed: "Millennial ginseng, 10,000 years, why is Shou Wu so effective?" ”

“…… Just kidding. Qiu Yulan secretly wiped her cold sweat and forced a smile to divert the topic, "Is my grandfather awake now?" I'm going to stay with him. ”

went to the main room to talk to the old general Ruan, who woke up, and saw that he was tired again, so Qiu Yulan retired.

Before leaving, he tiptoed to the study next door to peek, and saw Ruan Qingyan leaning on the back of the chair, closing his eyes to recuperate, and he didn't know whether he was really asleep or pretending to sleep, afraid that he would find out, Qiu Yulan gestured and shouted out Winter Dye, and learned that Ruan Qingyan was not disturbed today, so he was relieved to go.

Back at the Green Rose Garden, Su He excitedly started needlework.

Qiu Yulan was very surprised to see that she was sewing some rags: "What are you going to do?" ”

"The kitten has to have a place to live!" Su He said while flying the needle, "Make a nest for it!" ”

“…… What if the little marquis said it casually? Qiu Yulan reminded her speechlessly.

Su Yiyi was stunned and said, "He is the little marquis!" How can you not talk without words? ”

Qiu Yulan thought to herself that Ling was drunk with such a gentleman, and lying was probably a natural skill...... But seeing that Su He's eyes were full of disappointment, he still touched her head and comforted: "I'm afraid he will forget, but if you like cats, he won't give them back, let's buy them ourselves-didn't he say it, then the Tao family has it?" ”

Speaking of this, Qiu Yulan's mind moved, and suddenly thought: "When I lived in the Ruan family from the Xihe Palace, I didn't raise lions and cats like this in Beijing?" ”

Ling Zui said that almost every noblewoman in Beijing now has a lion cat - Qiu Jinzhu, the lord of Ningtai County, is also one of the nobles, and Kang Lizhang does not belong to the noblewoman in terms of identity, but in fact the enjoyment is higher than that of Qiu Jinzhu! According to memory, both of these people are very strong, and the popularity of Beijing is not in vain!

If the nobles of Kyoto started raising lion cats, how could they be exceptional?

"Could it be that this is what happened in the past half a month? But in this world, a thing or an ethos, it is not as simple as in the previous life......" Qiu Yulan thought suspiciously, "Could it have something to do with the Tao family?" ”

As far as she overheard the secret news of the Jiang family on Chinese New Year's Eve, Jiang Bagongzi, a grandchild, does not have much respect for his step-grandmother Tao - but behind the scenes, Jiang Bagongzi is still jealous of Tao.

In other words, even if the Tao family was married by the Duke of Qin in order to win over the once glorious and famous Tao family, his status in the Jiang family is not weak. It is enough to make Jiang Bagongzi, a favorite concubine who dares to communicate with the emperor's uncle. The grandson of the traitor only dared to say a few powerful words in private.

"It can't be that the Tao family is planning to rise, right?" Qiu Yulan muttered, "But he has been out of the family of the three prime ministers of father and son, and he has risen by selling lion cats...... It's too mysterious......"

She had a headache for a while, and suddenly came to her senses: "Even if there is a problem with the popular lion cat in Beijing, what does it matter to me?" Xihe Wangfu hasn't solved it yet! ”

In this way, he put aside the matter of the lion cat and thought about how to find Kang Lizhang to "talk".

However, Ling Zui was trustworthy, and actually sent someone to send a little lion cat with a snow-white body and blue and yellow mandarin duck eyes the next day.

The palm-sized lion cat was carefully held by the brocade pad, a small fluffy ball, the pink paw pad, and the curious look of the pair of mandarin duck eyes, it was so cute that people died and came back to life - suddenly even Qiu Yulan was left out in the cold, sitting alone in the hall, and there was no one to make tea......

Qiu Yulan ran to make a pot of tea with a gloomy face, sat back in place and waited...... Wait, wait, wait, wait...... Finally, Su He ran over with his skirt and shouted, "County Lord! ”

Hum! You know it's wrong, right? It's just a cat, and it's going to be like me! You unconscionable people! Don't hurry up and say I'm the most important one!

As a result, Su He continued: "The lion cat doesn't have a name yet, can you give it a name?" ”

"......" Qiu Yulan said expressionlessly, "Do you want me to do such a simple thing?!" It's so white, it's called Dabai! ”

Su He was stunned and said: "But General Jiang's lion cat is also this pure white, I heard that one is called 'Nian Xue'!" ”

is also a white cat, one is called "Da Bai" and the other is called "Nian Xue", do you want to have such a big gap?

Qiu Yulan continued to be expressionless: "Don't you know that it's easy to feed with a cheap name?" Changbai can be raised, not what is called Dabai! ”

Su He thought for a while and was convinced: "Oh, too...... Sister Spring Dye, Sister Summer Dye! The county lord named the lion cat, called Dabai! ”

Then, she ran back to the house where the lion cat was housed, and once again there was a lonely autumn troll, sitting alone in the hall, looking sadly at a pot of tea that had run out of heat......
