Chapter 21: The Cat's Entrustment
In the pale yellow light, the black cat stood tall, but it had something in its mouth.
"Old ...... Mouse? "Don't be surprised.
Minghui gasped: "It seems to be ...... Cat. ”
The black cat seemed to be waiting for Minghui to speak, and now that it heard Minghui speak, it lowered its noble head and put the gray-black thing in its mouth on Minghui's pillow.
I didn't hesitate to lean over, and finally saw that it was really not a mouse, but a cat, a kitten.
"How did it get a cat? Was it born? Is it a female cat? "Don't be too late to be curious.
Minghui shook her head: "It's a male cat, it doesn't give birth to kittens." ”
Minghui stretched out a finger and touched the kitten's head, and the kitten raised its head, fortunately, it had already opened its eyes.
"You're a male cat, this kitten must not have been born by you, could it be your child, you are its father?" Minghui looked at the black cat, and the black cat barked at her, and actually stretched out her front paws and pushed the kitten towards Minghui's side.
Minghui smiled and asked, "You brought the kitten over, do you want me to help you raise it?" ”
The black cat meowed, and was actually a little impatient, as if to say: Isn't this an obvious thing? You just understand?
Minghui looked at the kitten again: "Hey, why doesn't your child look like you, it's not black?" Are you happy to be a father? ”
And then...... Minghui found that the black cat was glaring at her viciously!
Minghui was speechless, and said after a while: "Your child is too young, I am worried that I will not be able to support it." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the black cat turned and jumped out of the window.
"That's it? You...... You're too unreasonable. Minghui muttered.
It's not too late, but it's already busy: "Miss, let's keep this kitten, if you raise it since you were a child, it will definitely not be like that black cat, you can't raise it after saving your life." ”
"This cat hasn't been weaned yet, so it's not easy to raise." Minghui said.
"It's okay, it's okay, the slave will cook it and eat it." Without a long time, he went back to his house, found a piece of furoshiki, and wrapped the kitten.
Minghui didn't bother to pay attention, closed the window, and continued to sleep.
Unexpectedly, after sleeping for an hour, there was a rustling sound outside the window again, and the black cat was back.
At the moment when she turned the light again, Minghui was really worried that the black cat would bring another kitten, and cats rarely gave birth to only one litter, so it was possible for the black cat to send the whole litter of kittens over.
Fortunately, this time, the black cat did not hold a kitten, but a purse, it put the purse next to Minghui's pillow, and then glared at Minghui, as if to say: I didn't let you raise the child for me, look at what I brought.
Minghui hesitated for a moment and picked up the purse.
The purse embroidered with water ripples in the blue of the lake exudes a faint luster under the light, and Minghui checked it, with a bit of weight.
She poured out the contents of her purse, which contained two pieces of broken silver, two golden broad beans, and a piece of paper folded into a small square victory.
Seeing the contents of the purse, Minghui understood, she said that she was worried that the kitten would not survive, so the black cat sent gold and silver, well, it costs money to raise a child.
Who owns this purse?
Could it be Aunt Liu's thing?
Minghui carefully folded Fang Sheng and flattened the paper.
On the paper, a line of words was written in small block letters: Zou Muhan on the eighth day of the third month of the Wuchen year
Minghui was stunned, is this her birthday?
Zou Muhan, who is this?
Minghui suspects that this person is the owner of the purse, and the purse is not Aunt Liu's.
She took the purse to the end of her nose and smelled it, there was a faint scent of rosewood.
She folded the piece of paper into Fang Sheng again, put it in her purse, put the broken silver and gold beans in it as well, and put the purse back at the black cat's feet, and said, "This is stolen, where you stole it, send it back." ”
The black cat looked at her with disgust and turned her face away.
Hypocritical human beings!
Minghui picked up the purse and shook it in front of the cat's face, and this time, the black cat simply jumped on the chair and fell asleep.
Minghui ...... What does that mean?
It seems impossible to get the black cat to return the stolen purse.
Minghui casually threw the purse into the sewing basket and left it alone.
The next day, when the black cat woke up, he saw that he had fed the kitten with a spoon and ate the paste, as if he was relieved, went out of the house, jumped on the wall, and disappeared.
Not too late and not too late, I found rags and cotton, made a cat nest and a small mattress, and asked Chunmiao and Chunyu to inquire where there was a female cat who was breastfeeding.
In the end, the nursing female cat was not found, and everyone in the house knew that the eldest lady had a cat.
Minghui ignored these things, she drew three portraits by herself based on the portraits she had seen in her previous life, and the three portraits were all the same boy.
Liu Sanniang's son Wan Mingyang, whose name is Wan cub.
Minghui originally wanted to leave the house not late and send the portrait to the small courtyard, but after thinking about it, she decided to go by herself.
It's been three days, and I don't know if Aunt Liu has climbed out.
In addition, she also had to ask about the situation of Renyazi from Aunt Liu.
Half an hour later, the big girl next to Miss Ming was not too late, and went to the cards again.
Hu's mother said that she was sick and on leave, and the eldest lady was also sick, and the cards were temporarily handed over to the second girl, Mingya.
I heard that it was not too late to get the right cards, Ming Ya asked the maid to send it out, and after leaving not too late, Ming Ya turned around and went to the courtyard of the big lady.
It just so happened that Mingda was also there, and Mingya told the eldest lady about Minghui letting the maid out of the house again, but the eldest lady had not yet spoken, but Mingda twisted her eyebrows and said unhappily: "Mingya, you are in a panic, the small matter of sesame grains, you also have to tell your mother, your mother is sick, you don't know, your mother always says that you are sensible, where is this sensible?" ”
Mingya was robbed by her eldest brother for no reason, she was stunned, and tears appeared in her eyes: "Big brother, what are you talking about...... Mother let me manage the cards, of course I have to tell my mother, where am I ignorant? ”
Mingda saw Mingya crying, and suddenly became angry: "Crying, crying, crying, my mother is sick, do you still have to cry and cry, are you annoying?" ”
Mingya felt aggrieved, turned to look at the eldest lady leaning on the couch, and before she could call out "mother", the eldest lady rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Okay, your eldest brother should say a few words to you, I know, you go out, I still have something to say with your eldest brother." ”
Mingya bit her lip, saluted the eldest lady and Mingda, and withdrew with the maid.
When Mingya left, the eldest lady complained: "What's wrong with you, you are angry at your sister for a little thing?" ”
"Mother, let's let Cousin Zhu come to the house less in the future, look at it, the second sister was originally a person who was in the wisdom of the show, and now let Cousin Zhu bring it, what has become of it." Mingda doesn't care whether Wu Lizhu is the eldest wife's niece or not, no matter how close the niece is, she can't kiss his son.
The eldest lady frowned: "What's wrong with Lizhu, how can you bring Ya'er bad?" ”
"What's wrong with her? If she's good, then girl...... Will the little aunt slap her? Why don't you slap others, only slap her, and she didn't ask for it? Mingda's voice grew louder and louder, and the maids in the room were so frightened that they all held their breath.
The eldest lady was displeased: "Lizhu and you are childhood sweethearts, she was bullied, you, who are brothers, are facing outsiders?" ”
"Outsiders? We are all surnamed Ming, how can we be outsiders, but Wu Lizhu, who is almost a childhood sweetheart? Then wouldn't I have to have one hundred and eighty childhood sweethearts in Baoding Mansion? Mingda said in a rough voice.
The eldest lady closed her eyes angrily: "You don't get angry with me here, what's wrong with Lizhu?" Your father also agreed to the relationship between you and Lizhu, if it weren't for the old lady's affair, our two families would ......"
Without waiting for the eldest lady to finish speaking, Mingda flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked out, saying as he walked: "Since Wu Lizhu is so good, you should leave it to Mingxuan." ”
The eldest lady was so angry that she threw out the small pillow at hand.
Leave it to Mingxuan? He could figure it out that Ming Xuan was only seven years old this year!
After Mingda finished his wife, he went back to the study to play with the pitcher, and in a blink of an eye, he threw what he had just done out of the clouds.
On the contrary, it was Mingya, who came out of the big lady's house, did not return to her yard, took the maid Angelica Angelica, and sat for a long time in the greenhouse where flowers were planted.
Mother is too partial to the eldest brother, and always has been.
When I was a child, there was a banquet at home, and when the children were playing together, when the eldest brother pushed her, she didn't stand firmly, her feet slipped, she fell into the lake, and almost drowned.
The father beat the eldest brother for this, but after the mother knew the reason, she not only made her kneel, but also beat her with a feather duster, saying that she had caused the eldest brother to be beaten......
