Xu Ke walked out of the Chang'an County Ya and was about to go north to return to his Tsing Yi Wei, but saw Zhou Tong's immature voice behind him again:

"Big brother, big brother!

Xu Ke turned around, only to see Zhou Tong holding the iron cage in his hand, and striding after him, with a panting Zhou Shoulders behind him.

Xu Ke stopped and said with a smile:

"***, are you okay?"

"Big brother, this little flower cat, you better take it away!"

"Why? Don't you like it a lot?"

"The little cat seems to like you very much, and he really wants to go with you!"

"Oh...... Really?"

Xu Ke looked at the little flower cat in the iron cage intently, and saw that the kitten was also looking at himself pitifully at the moment. After Zhou Tong finished speaking, the kitten nodded magically, as if he could understand Zhou Tong's words. Those cat's eyes were watery, as if they were about to shed tears.

Xu Ke suddenly felt very interesting, and he took over Zhou Tong's cat cage casually.

"But, ***, I can't ask for your kitten for nothing......! Which one do you like about my objects?

The people behind him hurriedly waved his hand to stop him, but because he ran too fast, he was still panting in place, and he couldn't speak.

"Big brother, I want your sword!"

Zhou Tong pointed with his small hand, and actually pointed to the Kunwu sword that Xu Ke hung on his waist.

"This ...... I can't give it to you!"

Zhou Shouju hurriedly held back his breath and said loudly: "Tong'er Hugh wants to mess around! This is the Kunwu Sword given to Lord Xu by the Holy Emperor!"

"That'...... Big brother, can you give me this sign?"

Zhou Tong pointed to the "gold-inlaid tiger card" hanging from Xu Ke's waist.

"This ...... I can't either!" Xu Ke scratched his forehead with his hand, a little embarrassed. He said in his heart that this gold-inlaid tiger plaque can represent supreme power! Holding this tiger plaque, he can freely enter and exit the major city gates of Chang'an; he is not subject to curfews and checks at night; he can travel freely in all the roads of our country without the need for road guidance; and the local governors of all provinces, prefectures, and counties can see the sign as if they were visiting Qincha...... How can I give this sign to you at will!

He immediately thought to himself, this little child, I really can't see that he is so young, and his heart is so big! As soon as he opened his mouth, it was either the emperor's imperial sword or Tsing Yiwei's thousand-household waist card, these two things, each of which is the dream of ordinary people in this world!

The little flower cat in the iron cage, for some reason, actually "meowed" a few times, as if urging Xu Ke: "Just a broken sword and a broken brand, how much can you value?

"Hmph! This can't work, that can't either! Big brother is so stingy! I'm leaving!"

Zhou Tong pouted, immediately turned his head around, and ran back to the inner courtyard of the county government in a huff.

Zhou shouldered a huge hurry forward and bowed his hand to Xu Ke, and said ashamedly:

"Lord Xu, children are unscrupulous, and I hope adults are not strange!"

"Eh! Ling Lang is right! It's because what I said before is too full, and I can't do it now! This ......" Xu Ke took out a silver ticket from his arms, with the words "one hundred taels" written on it, and he forcibly stuffed the silver ticket into Zhou Shouju's hand.

"You give it to Ling Lang, and the right is that I exchange it with him for cats!"

"This ...... How can a kitten be bought for only ten cents on the market, how can an adult be so expensive?!"

"Don't talk nonsense! If you accept it, you will accept it! This is what I gave to Ling Lang, what does it have to do with you?!"

"Yes, yes, yes!

was reprimanded by Xu Ke coldly, and he didn't dare to say anything when he was shoulder-bearing.

Xu Ke immediately lifted the cat cage, no longer paying attention to the terrified look on his shoulders, turned around and strode away.

Leaving his shoulders standing at the gate of the county government in a daze, he looked at Xu Keyang's back, and then looked at the "one hundred taels" silver ticket in his hand, and was surprised in his heart.

It has always been subordinates who salute their superiors, how have you ever heard that Shangguan gives silver to subordinates?

Zhou Beiju has also served as the magistrate of Chang'an for nearly 20 years. In the past 20 years, I don't know how many high-ranking officials and nobles have come to his Chang'an County office, and I don't know how many of them have openly and secretly asked him for bribes from his Zhou Zhi County! However, he is an honest official, and his sleeves are clean, so where did he get the money to bribe the officials?

Now, there is actually a Tsing Yi Wei Si Pin Qianhu, personally presented him with a silver ticket of one hundred taels, although it is only a silver ticket, but it is more than his silver in a year! At this moment, he is holding the silver ticket in his hand, how can he not be excited in his heart!

......

......

After Xu Ke left the Chang'an County Ya, it was already six o'clock, and seeing that it was time for lunch, he walked into a small restaurant along the way.

Xu Ke looked up and saw that the sign of the restaurant said "Worry-free Residence", his heart is worry-free, if the world can be worry-free, what more can the husband ask for?

When the junior second who ran the hall saw a blue-robed official coming here for dinner, he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, hurriedly left others, hurried to Xu Ke's table, and asked respectfully:

"Hey, this official, what kind of wind is blowing today, and it actually blows you and your old man here......! Want to eat something?"

Xu Ke frowned slightly when he heard this, and then said:

"What's delicious here, feel free to serve a few plates!"

"Okay! The official will be waiting, the wine and food will come soon!"

Before long, the shopkeeper brought several big dishes, including "steamed sea bass", "shredded yam", "Weishui carp stewed tofu", "white cut beef", "Chang'an flatbread" and so on, all of which are famous dishes of this restaurant, and the square table in front of Xu Ke was instantly filled.

Xu Ke lifted the iron cage, twisted his right hand slightly, and opened the iron cage, and the little flower cat inside crawled weakly onto the square table at this time.

The little flower cat lazily looked at the dishes on the square table, and did not eat fish or beef at first, but became very interested in the plate of "shredded yam".

"Uncle, this cat of yours is really good-looking! It doesn't seem to be our breed from the Central Plains, is it from the Western Regions?"

When the diners next to him saw this little flower cat, they couldn't help but admire: "What a cute kitten! The coat color is red and white, white and snow-white, red and bright red, this must not be our Central Plains breed, it should be from Xiao Kingdom, the name is 'Snow Red'......"

Immediately, another diner retorted, "Isn't 'Snow Red' a kind of cherished fox?

The previous diner said, "Alas, are the fox and the cat originally close relatives?"

......

Xu Ke glanced at the shopkeeper coldly, so bluffed that the junior hurriedly lowered his head and retreated.

When others saw this, they didn't dare to openly judge the kitten.

Xu Ke pushed the plate of freshly steamed sea bass to the kitten and said, "Eat! I see you're hungry too! Don't cats eat meat? Where do you eat yams?"

The little flower cat glanced at Xu Ke, and said "meow" in his mouth, as if to say: "Hmph! You tell me to eat fish, but I don't eat fish!"

The little cat ate a few mouthfuls of sweet yams, smashed her tongue a few times, and gradually gained strength all over her body. She walked in front of the big pot of carp soup again, the cat bowed down, drank several mouthfuls of carp soup, and ate a few pieces of tofu with her, and couldn't help but "meow" a few times, as if sighing:

"Wonderful! Such a good carp soup tastes wonderful!"

Xu Ke saw that the kitten was so cute, and the cry was so beautiful, and he loved it even more in his heart. He thought to himself, I have always seen Xiaobei's sister a little depressed these days, why don't I just give this cat to Xiaobei? If I can make her laugh, it is better than anything!

However, he thought about it again, my scholar brother is most afraid of cats, don't you want this little flower cat, and scare him enough?

He was thinking about it, when he suddenly saw the kitten in front of him "whoosh", her red and white figure, already like an arrow from the string, jumped away from the square table in an instant, three steps and two steps, jumped out of the window of the restaurant, and in a blink of an eye, it had disappeared from everyone's field of vision......

"Master, your cat has run away, do you want to chase after it?" The shopkeeper saw that the little flower cat had fled from the restaurant, and said that Xu Ke was going to be angry about it, so he hurriedly ran over and asked.

"Forget it, let it go!"

Xu Ke waved his hand, raised his wine glass and took a sip of the five-year-old "Phoenix Wine", and said lightly.
