Chapter 138: Little Milk Tiger Falls from the Sky
"Seventeen Aunt ......"
Knowing that she felt uncomfortable, He Xiaoqiao patted her on the shoulder, used her chin to nu Ruyi's position, and changed the topic, "Didn't you say that you were going to teach her a lesson?" If you don't go to someone's house, you'll leave. ”
She is not a good man and a woman, and when she is unhappy, she still agrees with solving everything with her fists.
Jinghe nodded vigorously, and finally returned to the previous smile on his face, and winked at He Xiaoqiao, "Look at me!" ”
After saying that, he rolled up his two sleeves to the position of his arms, and he was about to rush over with a fierce momentum.
"Princess!"
He Xiaoqiao turned his head suspiciously, and even Jinghe stopped to look back.
"White head?" Seeing that it was an acquaintance who went and returned, He Xiaoqiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "What's wrong?" ”
"Stinky white hair!" Jinghe blew up on the spot, and as soon as the limelight turned, he immediately quickly transformed the object he wanted to beat from Ruyi to the enemy who made him angry not long ago, "It's just right, look at the move!" ”
As he spoke, he looked left and right, untied the horsewhip that hung on his waist as an ornament, and threw it in his face.
Before He Xiaoqiao could shout, Bai Shou over there raised his hand without blinking and firmly grasped the whip tail in his hand, and looked at He Xiaoqiao without changing his face, "Princess, the military advisor is back." ”
"Strategist?" He Xiaoqiao was at a loss, "Who?" ”
“…… Hu Qing," Bai Shou was silent when he saw this, and then added succinctly, "The princess said that he looks like a magic stick. ”
He Xiaoqiao frowned and thought for a while, and then suddenly high-fived as if he realized, "I remember, it's the old man who was with you in the Random Garden before!" ”
“……”
Bai Shou was silent.
In fact, Hu Qing is only thirty-nine this year, but he looks old-fashioned, if he knew that He Xiaoqiao called him an old man, it is estimated that he would be so heartbroken that he went directly to jump the moat to destroy himself.
"But then again," He Xiaoqiao was surprised, and then began to raise his eyebrows, "What does it matter to me when he goes back to the house?" ”
rushed over to tell her so much, did you want her to come forward to hold a welcome ceremony?
I had long expected He Xiaoqiao to ask such a question, so Bai Shou was very conscientious and immediately gave a reason, "There is a gift for the princess, which was escorted all the way to Beijing by the military advisor." ”
In other words, what Jiang Fenghao wanted to give her also came back.
"Gifts?" His mind was spinning quickly, and he remembered that Jiang Fenghao had said that he wanted to give her a gift, and he immediately became interested, "What is it?" ”
"The military advisor is already waiting in the front yard, the princess might as well go and see for herself." Wouldn't it be more surprising to uncover the mystery yourself?
"Good!" He Xiaoqiao nodded very dryly, grinned and happily accepted the gift.
Ruyi and the servant woman didn't know when they disappeared, and for a while, only Bai Shou and Jing and the two of them were left face to face in the courtyard, staring at each other with big eyes.
Jinghe also wanted to follow to see the excitement, but the horsewhip was grabbed tightly by Bai Shou, and she couldn't pull it back after pulling it several times, but she was tired and sweaty.
couldn't help but glared at the incomprehensible man in front of him, Jinghe frowned and scolded, "Don't let go yet!" ”
He Xiaoqiao didn't feel embarrassed when he was there just now, but now facing Jinghe alone, Bai Shou couldn't help but start blushing, and was glared at by her, so he quickly let go of his hand and took two steps back, "I'm sorry!" ”
"I'll settle accounts with you when I come back!" Jinghe snorted, put down a few cruel words that were not deterrent at all, stomped his heel and chased after He Xiaoqiao.
Seeing her leave all the way, Bai Shou still had that cool expression on his face, but his eyes slowly brought a smile, like a hairy boy who was in love for the first time, shy and happy.
He Xiaoqiao went all the way to the front yard, and sure enough, not far from the entrance of the hall, he found an object covered with a black cloth, boxy, not small, and he didn't know what was inside.
Just when He Xiaoqiao couldn't help but want to reach out to uncover the black cloth to see what was going on, a thin middle-aged man with a bun on his head and two mustaches on his lips suddenly turned out of the hall next to him.
Seeing He Xiaoqiao looking at him, he took two steps forward with a smile and saluted her from a distance, "Subordinate Hu Qing, I have seen the princess." ”
A little unaccustomed to this kind of crepe greeting, He Xiaoqiao thought for a long time before holding back a sentence, "...... The military advisor has worked hard. ”
Hu Qing seemed a little surprised, but after thinking about it, Hong Fang and Bai Shou have been by her side these days, and He Xiaoqiao will know her nickname, and most of them will have nothing to do with those two guys.
"It's not hard, it's not hard." Hu Qing shook his head, holding a feather fan in his hand and bent down again, "I also want to thank the princess for not blaming her subordinates, if it weren't for the negligence of her subordinates, she wouldn't have missed the time, and she would have sent things back now." ”
I heard that the eldest of their family also caused trouble because of a stall of red face and trouble, and by mistake made the princess in the vinegar vat mistakenly think that it was a 'big gift' to give her and gave her a bad meal - it was a pity that she couldn't rush back to watch the live broadcast.
"The military advisor is too worried." He Xiaoqiao laughed dryly, and was a little unable to answer, so he had to change the topic, and curiously pointed to the thing that was blocked by the black cloth, "Is this what Jiang Fenghao sent back?" ”
Hu Qing smiled slightly, nodded and gave an affirmative answer, "Exactly." ”
"Aunt Seventeen!" Jinghe, who was a distance behind, finally rushed over out of breath, because he was running fast, and his face was still flushed.
Hu Qing had seen Jinghe before, so he naturally recognized who she was, so he immediately bent down and bowed his hand, "I've seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
"No courtesy, no courtesy." Jinghe waved his hand impatiently, ran to He Xiaoqiao's side again, and looked at the behemoth in front of him curiously, "Aunt Seventeen, is this the gift that Uncle Seventeen wants to give you?" ”
He Xiaoqiao nodded, "It is said that this is the case." ”
"What's in there?"
He Xiaoqiao didn't answer, but directly turned his head to look at Hu Qing, who always smiled like a good man, "Trouble the princess and Her Royal Highness the princess to step back first." ”
Needless to say than He Xiaoqiao, Jinghe consciously followed her and took a few steps back, Hu Qing estimated that this distance should be considered safe, and then beckoned Hong Fang to come over to help, and the two worked together to lift the black cloth covering their heads.
Hidden underneath was a huge cage with a post made of thigh-thick logs, a boxy cage with thick straw at the bottom, and even a quilt that had been bitten to tatters.
Probably stimulated by the sudden light, the little thing in the cage immediately blew up the cat, hunched its back and shrunk in the corner, its mouth open to show its small fangs, and let out a threatening roar with a fierce face.
He Xiaoqiao sighed, and impulsively stepped forward and pressed his face to the cage post.
With white fluffy hair mixed with black stripes, fluffy round ears that shrank back in horror, eyes as pure blue as ice cubes, and a long tail like a stick coiled tightly around his feet, he looked like a slightly overdeveloped domestic cat.
I have never eaten pork, but I have seen pigs walk, and I have run to the zoo a few times in my previous life, He Xiaoqiao quickly recognized that this was a rare white tiger cub, about three or four months old, and the whole body was still hairy, and the childishness had not been shed.
"It's so cute!"
Jinghe couldn't help but move forward, but she didn't have He Xiaoqiao's courage, so she only dared to look at it from a distance, "This is a tiger?" How is it so small? ”
Hu Qing originally wanted to stop the two of them, but seeing that the little thing seemed to have no intention of attacking except for the little thing that had been shrinking into the corner, he relaxed a little, and just motioned for Hong Fang and Bai Shou to watch firmly beside him, in case something unexpected happened.
"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, this is a cub, because it has just turned five months old, so it is inevitable that it will be a little smaller."
He Xiaoqiao's face was full of excitement, and he turned around the cage twice excitedly, and he couldn't wait to get the little cute thing out of it immediately and play with Shunmao, "The white tiger has always been rare, where did you find it?" With such a small cub, didn't the tigress follow along? ”
His eyes followed He Xiaoqiao a few times, and the little tiger dodged left and right and turned a little dizzy, and roared a few times unhappily, but because it was small, the voice sounded like it didn't have the slightest deterrent, but it made people feel very funny, as soft as a little milk cat angry, very cute.
He Xiaoqiao thought it was interesting, so he stopped and stretched out his two index fingers to pull his mouth open to the left and right, and at the same time made a provocative grimace with his eyes hanging his eyes, the little tiger was stunned, took two steps back, and roared louder.
The people around them all laughed, and Jinghe was even more happy to straighten her waist.
Hu Qing looked at He Xiaoqiao's gaze and couldn't help but have a hint of admiration, "In order to take care of the tiger cub before, the boss ...... The prince did order to bring the tigress with him. It's a pity that the tigress is not adapted, and she is dying after less than four or five days. The subordinates had no choice but to send someone to make another cage and send it back overnight. ”
Fortunately, the cub's vitality is relatively tenacious, and the motion sickness has only been two days, and then he bites the cage pillar and drinks goat's milk all the way to the capital without danger - fortunately, this little guy is still alive and kicking now, otherwise he would really not be able to give Jiang Fenghao a bad deal.
"I see," He Xiaoqiao nodded, seeing that the little tiger had calmed down, he turned his head and asked again, "Can it eat meat now?" ”
Hu Qing thought for a moment, nodded and replied, "If it's just minced meat, it should be fine." ”
When they came, they only brought two milking ewes with them, and they spent most of the time feeding their cubs with goat's milk.
Although it is sometimes fed some raw meat, in view of the lack of resources, the meat is usually eaten first by its own people.
It's freezing outside, and the little ones can't starve to death if they have a ewe, but if they don't have anything to eat...... That's going to be tough.
Probably not used to having so many people around to watch, the little guy in the cage flicked his tail back and forth a few times, probably thinking that the space was too small and oppressive, and from time to time he stretched out his paws and scratched twice on the cage wall, looking a little anxious, but the ears and tail that drooped slightly seemed a little unrefreshed.
He Xiaoqiao looked at it for a while, and suddenly beckoned to a familiar cook not far away, and when she got closer, he ordered, "Help me bring some raw minced meat, any meat is good...... Remember to chop a little. ”
"Don't worry, the princess, the slave knows." The cook nodded, and went away with a smile on her face.
