Chapter 160: Auntie's Gift
The largest pet market in Bianjing is near Daxiangguo Temple, not far from the Eldest Princess's Mansion.
Xin Yi took the beloved and had to accompany Xiao Sannian, drove the donkey cart out of Mahang Street, and went all the way to Daxiangguo Temple. The road was full of pedestrians, talking and laughing, and she found the happiness of "Bianjing Tour".
When she arrived at the pet market, she parked the donkey cart and hurried straight to the cat market.
There are a lot of kittens, one is more cute than the other, Sannian looks at the eyes bright, and can hardly move. Xin Yi looked at this pet market and urged her with a smile.
"Hurry up, we're going to choose a cat for your Uncle Fu."
"I'll choose, I'll choose Uncle Fu."
"Okay, you chooseβ"
Before Xin Yi's words fell, a faint sixth sense made her reflexively raise her head and look into the aisle on the left.
There was a gaze staring at her.
It's Zhou Yiliu, followed by a little girl, carrying a bamboo cage in her hand, with a kitten in it, exactly the kind that Xin Yi wants, tiger head, ugly and cute, that looks like a moving emoji.
Xin Yi's eyes lit up slightly.
"Three thoughts, Mrs. Zhang." Zhou Yiliu took the lead in greeting and walked towards Xin Yi, "Are you also here to buy cats?" β
Xin Yi hesitated, smiled and hummed, and squeezed Sannian's little hand.
"Call Auntie."
Sannian hadn't seen Zhou Yiliu for some days, and she was a little rustier than when she was in the eldest princess's mansion, and when she heard that the little girl called "auntie", she retracted back to Xin Yi's side, sticking to her tightly, pulling the corners of her clothes, very close and dependent.
Zhou Yiliu's pupils dimmed slightly, and he smiled slightly, "Do you have a cat you like?" β
Before Xin Yi could speak, San Nian rushed out and pointed to the bamboo cage in Zhou Yiliu's hand, "San Bao likes the kitten in my aunt's cage, it's so cute." β
Zhou Yiliu was dumbfounded.
Stunned, he lifted the cage to take a look, and said with a smile: "Yes, we will really choose Sannian, this cat is well-behaved and supple, and my aunt also likes ......"
Sannian's small fingers tugged at Xin Yi's clothes uneasily, and his voice was small, "That aunt gave the kitten to Sanbao, okay?" β
Zhou Yiliu obviously didn't expect Sannian to speak directly, and didn't answer for a while.
Xin Yi looked at her expression, reached out and gently touched the door of Sannian's small brain, "You! How did my mother teach you? A gentleman does not take the love of others...... How can you ask someone for ......?"
"Aunt is none other than that." Sannian tilted his head and secretly glanced at Zhou Yiliu, "Auntie, is Sanbao right?" β
Xinyi: ......
This little Sannian let Zhou Daozi teach, eccentric, and his brain is really ghostly, doesn't this make Zhou Yiliu unable to come to the stage, so he has to give her the cat?
If you refuse to give, won't your aunt become "someone else"?
Xin Yi smiled: "Xiao Zhou Niangzi, you don't have to worry about this little girl, let's go to the market to have a look, and if we see anything else, she won't like this." β
"No, I like my aunt's."
Zhou Yiliu glanced at Sannian, hesitated for a moment, squatted down and looked at her, "Sanbao, shall we pick another one?" What kind of kitten San Bao likes, my aunt will buy it. β
Sannian frowned and looked at the cat in the cage.
"Auntie, Sanbao wants this ......"
Zhou Yiliu glanced at the girl beside her and shook her head a little embarrassedly.
"This aunt can't give Sannian, shall we change one?"
"Why?" Sannian pouted in bewilderment.
Zhou Yiliu suddenly blushed.
She didn't speak, but the little girl beside her couldn't help it.
"Hey, what's so bad about that. Third girl, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess raised Xiao Zhou's lady, and in the future, our eldest princess's mansion will have one more lady like Madame. This kitten is not bought, it is hired, we have already promised the dowry of the cat owner's family, today is just a full two months, the eldest princess let us take it back. β
The little girl said with a smile, but she couldn't hide the envy in her tone.
After that, she glanced at Zhou Yiliu, whose face was full of crimson, "The eldest princess has always been unhappy that the ninth master has a cat, but this time for the sake of Xiao Zhou Niangzi, she is relieved, and let Xiao Zhou Niangzi take the cat to live in Linqu Pavilion before the ninth master's wedding, and be the ninth master's big girl...... After Miss Cao passes the door, our little Zhou lady will be lifted into a side room and be Mrs. Ru in the house. β
The Song people raised cats, and there was a saying that they were "hired home". If you fancy someone else's kitten, you should prepare sugar, or salt, or a fish, and then use wicker to string it and send it to the cat owner's house, which is considered a dowry.
In other words, the cats raised by the Song people are already treated as family members, and the side reflects Zhou Yiliu's identity.
Such as Madame, the side room is a nice saying, but in fact it is still a concubine.
But this cat makes a difference.
The eldest princess allowed Zhou Yiliu to take the cat and stay in Linqu Pavilion before the eldest girl married into the eldest princess's mansion, not so much to let her be Fu Jiuqu's big girl and cooperate with the ninth master to "practice the big wedding skills", but to give Cao Yilan the most powerful counterattack to the green hat joke brought to the eldest princess's mansion by the incident that Cao Yilan made in Wuzhang River.
The eldest princess didn't want to suffer this secret loss.
In this regard, Cao Fu must dare to be angry but dare not speak.
From another level, it skillfully balances the Zhang family's resentment against the marriage between the two governments.
Those who don't know how to read see a beautiful story.
Those who can see see what they see are the means and tilting of the former harem.
Then, whether this person is Zhou Yiliu or Wang Yiliu, they are just a chess piece.
This cat, whether it is black, white, ugly, beautiful, is also a chess piece.
Xin Yi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Because her plan fell through.
Fu Jiuqu already has an ugly cat, what's the point of her giving him another one?
"Sannian, my aunt will give you a small gift." Zhou Yiliu untied a small jade plaque from his neck and hung it on Sannian's neck.
"Do you like it?"
Sannian reluctantly glanced at the cat and did not speak.
Xin Yi looked at the jade plate and said with a smile: "Little Zhou Niangzi, this gift is too expensive for the child." β
Zhou Yiliu shook his head: "No, my aunt's gift to my niece is not heavy." β
"Three Treasures." Xin Yi saw that Sannian didn't speak, and tugged the child's arm, "What about aunt talking to you?" β
Sannian lowered his head, hummed softly, and his little face, which was originally elated, drooped down for some reason, and the person became much more well-behaved, untied the jade plate around his neck, and stuffed it back into Zhou Yiliu's hand.
"Auntie's things, Sanbao can't ask for them."
looked back at Xin Yi again, "Mother, let's go, there are still a lot of cats in there." β
"Okay." Xin Yi smiled and hugged Sannian, and bowed slightly to Zhou Yiliu, "Then let's congratulate Xiao Zhou Niangzi first, and when the time comes, please drink, and I will let Sanxiao come over to add makeup to my aunt." β
"Thank you." Zhou Yiliu smiled slightly.
"Then let's see the cats. Goodbye. β
"Goodbye."
When Zhou Yiliu was far away, Xin Yicai criticized Sannian in a low voice, saying that her behavior was wrong, and she should not be repeatedly entangled when others hesitated and embarrassed......
Sannian pouted and didn't say a word.
There are also many cats in the cat market, and there are also ugly cats.
Xin Yi was in no mood and didn't want to buy any more, but when she saw that Sannian liked it, she patiently accompanied her-
However, all kinds of cats looked at it, but they didn't want any of them, they didn't speak, they didn't pay attention to Xin Yi, their little bodies stiffened, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
"Hey, a little tantrum?"
Xin Yi and his lover glanced at each other, lowered their heads and asked Sannian with a smile.
"Do you want cats? Why don't you just go home? β
"Don't." The three thoughts are still puffing up.
Xin Yi sighed secretly and said with a smile: "Are you angry with your mother?" My mother is not teaching you, she is teaching you the truth of how to behave in the world......"
"I don't want that cat myself." Sannian suddenly raised his head angrily, looked at her and said, "Sanbao saw that his mother liked it, so he asked his aunt for it." β
