Chapter 212: Feng Caidie as a concubine
After the villagers came, the village chief looked at An Ruqing with an oath: "Nobleman, what are you looking for?" There are stout men and delicate women in our village, and as long as this thing exists, we will definitely be able to find it for you! ”
For the sake of a thousand taels of silver, even if this thing didn't exist, they would have to make it without sleeping.
"I want to find a bird that can learn to speak, with a black and white body, long and straight feathers on the forehead, and yellow beaks and feet. An Ruqing looked at these people in front of her and said what she needed.
Starlings are widely bred in modern times, but here, no one knows if there is such a bird, and if not, then she can only think of other ways.
"Noble, isn't that thing you're talking about a monster? I met it when I was hunting in the mountains before, and I was so scared that my ass urinated, and I was afraid that the monster would eat people! A voice suddenly came from the crowd, and An Ruqing looked at it, and it turned out to be an honest and honest man.
When the village chief heard the word monster, he was so angry that he stared at it, it was something that the nobleman wanted, it was a thousand taels of silver, and it was clearly a divine bird.
This is a monster, in case it scares people away, who will give the silver at that time?
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he roared directly: "Old Li Tou, look at your good son, how do you speak?" If you're clumsy, keep your mouth shut! ”
Lao Li Tou reacted instantly, slapped his son directly on the head, and scolded in his mouth.
"You stinky boy, you talk nonsense every day, how can there be monsters in this world? I think you've read too much of the book! If you hang out with those indiscriminate bastards in the future, I'll break your dog's legs! ”
When An Ruqing saw this scene, she immediately cried and laughed, and hurriedly stopped them: "This bird is called Starling, and he was born smart, so he will learn to speak, and he is not a monster, my lord's birthday is coming, and when the time comes, teach this bird to say a few auspicious words, and coax the old man to smile, we are all happy, but there is one thing, I only need to live this bird!" ”
After saying this, the villagers understood that this was a kind of smart bird, like a cockfighting cricket, specially coaxing those rich and idle lords to be happy.
Since they are not monsters, and they give so much silver, then they have to take everything they say about this job.
"Two nobles, leave this matter to us, three days, ah no, within one day, I am sure to send you a live starling!" The village chief swore an oath.
There are so many people in their village, everyone goes into battle, and one day is enough time to catch birds, and as for the silver reward, when the time comes, according to the head of the person, each family can get dozens of taels of silver, which is also worth the harvest of the previous year.
An Ruqing nodded with satisfaction: "I'll come to pick it up in person tomorrow, by the way, you must keep this matter secret, and I plan to surprise the master!" ”
The villagers repeatedly said that it was, such a lucrative job, even if they were to say it, they would not be able to go out and make a noise, if everyone knew about it, everyone went to catch birds, could they still earn money for silver?
Everything that makes money has to be done behind closed doors, and fools will go out and shout!
After sending An Ruqing and Xiaoying away, the men, women and children in the village went into battle together, making bird traps and setting traps, working for a day and a night, and finally caught a fat starling in the early morning of the next day.
The village chief put the starling in the cage, carefully took it home, and put all the food in the house in front of the starling, more attentive than serving his father.
In the afternoon of the same day, An Ruqing and Xiaoying, who were dressed in disguise, came over again, handed over the money with one hand, delivered the goods with the other, and took away the starling.
On the way back to the palace, Xiao Ying stared at the starling for a long time, and couldn't understand, how could this bird eat so much silver?
"Miss, even if the starling can speak, at most he can say a few simple words, is a thousand taels of silver too much? I don't think this bird is very valuable. ”
Before the words fell, the starling suddenly shouted, "It's worthless, it's worthless, it's worthless!" ”
The carriage was instantly quiet, and Xiao Ying looked at the starling in surprise, unable to believe that the sound just now came from its mouth.
I just said that it was worthless, and the bird shouted, it shouldn't be learning from itself, right?
Xiao Ying was full of doubts, and said a few simple words, the starling couldn't remember the complete words, but he could remember a few words and kept repeating them.
"Now you understand why it's worth a thousand taels." An Ruqing smiled: "If this bird is taught carefully, it can say complete words, and it will be of great help to us in the future." ”
People may lie, but birds will never do, the words that come out of the bird's mouth must be what the owner often says, she wants to see what reason Mo Yuan can find to prevaricate!
After returning home, An Ruqing directly took the starling to Liuyue Pavilion and specially found a side room for it to live in.
"Miss, this starling brother is so blessed to occupy a room by himself!" Xiao Ying couldn't help but sigh.
"Because it's very important, you will take care of it yourself in the future, and you must not let others see it, if the news leaks, this starling may be of great help." An Ruqing explained, and then solemnly admonished.
Although Mo Yuan was arrogant, he was not stupid, and only if he felt that he had found a rare treasure and picked up a big bargain, he would willingly take this starling away.
Xiao Ying also became serious and nodded vigorously: "Miss don't worry, besides me, even Minghui will never let him know about the existence of this starling!" ”
On the other side, with the help of his staff, Mo Yuan successfully found a beautiful woman, and after making sure that the other party was loyal to him, he sent the emperor's dragon bed that night.
When the emperor saw a strange and familiar face, he was stunned for a moment, and did not dare to ask confidently, "Is this a dream, or is it reality?" You're back? ”
"Your Majesty, the name of the people's girl is Caidie, and it is a blessing for the people's daughter to be able to serve the emperor, if the emperor doesn't look down on the people's daughter, then the people's girl will leave."
Caidie got up and saluted, and halfway through the line, her clothes suddenly slipped off, revealing her fragrant shoulders, and she was about to tidy up her clothes, when she was suddenly held by the emperor.
"Butterflies, huh? I will make you a concubine, and you will stay in the palace to accompany me in the future. The emperor directly picked the person up horizontally, put him on the dragon bed, and pressed him with his body.
At this moment, he didn't care about the origin of Caidie, he just wanted to vent all his thoughts over the years.
The next day, the news that the emperor had a new concubine quickly spread in the queen's palace, especially when she heard that this was a folk woman who suddenly appeared, all the concubines were shocked, and they went to greet the queen in a swarm, talking about it inside and out.
