Chapter Ninety-Six: The Beast
The three of them walked out of the compound of the VIP building, went around the road, and walked to places that they couldn't go to. Walking and walking to the door of a compound. Li Chun went to knock on the door, and a eunuch came out of it, and when he saw that it was the adults coming, he quickly saluted.
Ji Laishui said: "The king wants to send two Rui beasts to Yan Kingdom, you go and find a pair." ”
The eunuch answered the promise and took the three of them inside, and the young lady saw that the courtyard was more than 500 square meters and had several rooms. The young lady thought to herself what kind of beast was placed here, and was thinking about a few peacocks coming out of a room.
A few people came to a room, and the people in the room heard the movement and came out early.
The eunuch asked a few people who came out of the house to find a pair of Rui beasts to put in a cage, and a few people hurriedly grabbed a pair of peacocks for a long time. They are here every day, and they know which two are a pair, and although they rush to and fro, they catch them very accurately.
Several people took out two large wooden cages from one room and put two peacocks inside.
The young lady didn't know the peacock, and when she saw a few people put the peacock in a cage, she said, "The beast is magical, and I'm afraid that no one in the Yan Kingdom will be able to feed it." ”
Ji Laishui said: "The ambassador can rest assured, the king has taken this festival into account, and there are two finching slaves with the Rui Beast. After speaking, he said to the eunuch: "It is best to find two to serve the Rui Beast." ”
The eunuch ordered the two slaves and said, "All are ready, will they be transported now?"
Ji Laishui said: "Please wait in front of the gate outside the palace, and the two finch slaves will wait." ”
The eunuch complied with his promise and let a few slaves carry the wooden cage to the palace gate.
Ji Laishui led Li Chunhe to the courtyard where the slaves lived in the outer palace, and the guards and eunuchs came out to greet him, and Ji Laishui said: "Go find a groom and drive a carriage to the gate of the palace to meet the beast." "The doorman and eunuch answered the promise.
The young lady said, "Later, the two lords, the lower officials will also go to call the groom to the gate of the palace to listen." After saying that, he walked a few steps to the groom's yard and knocked on the door.
The groom opened the door and saw that it was the young lady, and was about to greet the young lady, but the young lady said, "Don't bother, hurry up and pack the carriage and go to the palace to wait." ”
The groom said no more, pulled out the horse and began to set the cart, and the young lady turned back to Ji Laishui, and said, "The king gave back the Rui beast and the bird slave, and the lower official should thank him in person." ”
Ji Laishui said: "No need, the king is now summoning Guan Fengzi and asking me to pass on the word, the king is very satisfied with the national rites of Yan Kingdom, and there is no need to do more vulgar rites." ”
Miss thought to herself that it was rumored that King Zhou Ling did not like vulgar etiquette and longed for immortal paths, which seemed to be the case.
The three of them came to the gate of the palace, and the eunuch and the two finchmen were waiting.
After a while, two carriages came along the western wall of the palace, both passenger carriages. When the carriage approached, the two slaves went to the carriage of the slave groom they knew, got into the carriage, unloaded their seats, and threw them on the ground, one jumped out of the carriage and lifted a cage, and the other took it on top, and settled the two beasts in a moment.
The eunuch said to Ji Laishui and Li Chun: "The Rui Beast has been settled, and you can ask the Rui Beast to move in." ”
Ji Laishui turned to the young lady and said, "After the Rui Beast settled in the Yan Kingdom, the horseman and the bird slave stayed in the Yan Country to serve the Rui Beast, and they didn't have to come back. ”
The young lady bowed her hand and said, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness, there are still some things in my family, and I have taken my leave." With that, he turned around and got into the carriage.
Ji Laishui and Li Chun saw that the young lady's convoy had gone away and went back to the palace to report to the king.
The eunuch picked up the carriage seat on the ground and returned.
At four o'clock, the team returned to the Yanguo Mansion, Bi Jiu and Ying Ning were in the house, heard the movement and looked out, saw that it was the young lady who came back, and went out to greet her, and the young lady told Bi Jiu about the matter.
No one had ever seen a peacock, and Bi Jiu asked, "Does this Rui beast have a name?" and thought to himself: "It looks like a good-looking pheasant." ”
The young lady said, "It's called Rui Beast." ”
Bi Jiu said: "Let's invite Rui Beast to live in the west room first." ”
The two slaves moved the two beasts to a west room, where the servants and guards lived, and together they helped settle the beasts.
The young lady said: "Tonight, the handyman and the doorman will go to live with Mo Qing first, these two finch slaves can live here and serve the beast at any time." ”
Bi Jiu said: "I can only squeeze it first." "The groom lived in one room, and now there was another groom, and the two grooms packed up the wagons and went into the house to clean up, and had to live together for the night.
Seeing that she was almost settled, the young lady called out the two finch, put her right hand into her arms, took out a few handfuls of shellfish coins and gave them to the finch, and told the finus to buy what the finus beast needed, and be sure to serve the good beast. Then went back to the house, and Bi Jiu and Ying Ning followed into the house.
Miss asked Ying Ning Moqing why she went, Ying Ning said: "Yesterday a big man came, claiming to be Hua Leopard, to see Miss, only the doorman was there at that time, saying that all the adults were not there, let him come back another day." The big man was in a hurry, so he just sat at the door and waited, and waited until Lord Bi Jiu came back before leading him into the courtyard. ”
Bi Jiu took Ying Ning's words and said: "This big man said that he knew the adults and Mo Qing, and I saw him dressed as a ranger and carrying a stone axe, so I asked him to wait in Mo Qing's room." ”
Ying Ning saw that Bi Jiu didn't say anything, and then said: "Mo Qing came back after midnight yesterday afternoon, and saw that the two of them had a very speculative conversation, and today we went to show the horses to the bank. ”
The young lady said, "Where is the seal, show me."
Ying Ning took out the seal from her arms and handed it to the young lady. The young lady saw that this seal was made of bluestone, two fingers together long and wide, one finger erected high, so she picked up the lacquerware and poured some water into the inkstone on the cabinet, polished the inkstone a few times, and there was a dry inkstone residue in the inkstone that had been used last time. Seeing that the water had turned black, I picked up the seal and dipped it in some water, pressed it lightly on the cabinet, and looked up, the handwriting was very clear.
The young lady handed the seal to Ying Ning and said, "It's a good carving, you take it and run around, and then go here to engrave five of the same." Ying Ning answered, took the seal and left.
The young lady said to Bi Jiu: "The king has now given back the Yan Wang Rui Beast, and he can't be lazy, and he has to bother the adults to care more." ”
Bi Jiu said: "I don't know anything about the living habits of this beast, and I have to rely on the finch slave to take care of it. ”
The young lady said, "I still have some things to do these days, and Lord Lao has asked the bird slave to take care of the beast." ”
Bi Jiu said: "When the adults go out to do errands, of course I have to take over everything here, please rest assured." After saying that, thinking that there was nothing to do, the young lady said goodbye and left.
The young lady picked up the pen and inkstone on the cabinet, put it on the table, opened the cabinet, took out her baggage, took out the clothes to be changed, chose a green robe, came to the kang, took off the official hat and official uniform, changed into a green robe and put it on. Came to the cabinet, took out the big bag that was wrapped in tiger skin hemp bags, repacked the luggage, packed the big bags and put them away, covered the cabinet and returned to the kang to sit down.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and the young lady didn't want to waste time, so she moved to sit in the kang and played the jackfruit heart sutra.
