happy rebirth

Xie Jinhua likes cats very much.

During those years of being imprisoned in the Zangzhen Pavilion, even though Xie Jinhua had a scholarly companion, a good person was suppressed to the habit of talking to himself, which shows that his life was extremely lonely.If it weren't for his rather tough character, I'm afraid he would have been driven crazy long ago.Under such circumstances, he entertained himself and made friends with friends.Of course, these three or five confidants are those wild cats who like to hide in the Zangzhen Pavilion to bask in the sun.

There are also wild cats in the palace.

The Zangzhen Pavilion is located at the junction of the inner palace and the outer palace. The large buildings nearby are almost all used for storage, and there is no master living here.The closest palace to Cangzhen Pavilion is Qiuliang Palace, which is also the legendary Leng Palace, so everyone doesn't like to come to these places if they have nothing to do.

So this place has become a safe haven for wild cats.

Some wild cats came in from outside the palace over the wall, and some wild cats were raised by the lords of the palace and sneaked out to steal their lives. In short, they have no legal status.If people find out about their existence, they are afraid that the wild cats will hurt the nobles in the palace, and they will have no choice but to die.

Therefore, these wild cats are very alert.

They can always easily avoid those sweeping eunuchs who are passive and sabotage, and they can always easily catch prey such as mice and cockroaches.Once, Xie Jinhua even saw a three-flowered wild cat eating a fish head, probably stolen from the imperial dining room.How capable is this!

These wild cats couldn't see Xie Jinhua, but Xie Jinhua could see them.

They are always living their lives arrogantly, sometimes jumping in from the window, sometimes just lying on the window sill, sometimes licking their fur freely, sometimes sleeping all day... With them, Xie Jinhua used to be peaceful There is a breath of freshness in the days of stagnant water.

Xie Jinhua took comfort from it.

Before that, Xie Jinhua had never raised a cat.

After that, Xie Jinhua felt that it was too late to meet them.

Because of the companionship of those days, even if the stray cats are sometimes dirty and look very embarrassed, sometimes they hunt and play with their prey, they look cruel, and sometimes they are inexplicably excited and furious, and they look very cruel. Nervous... But Xie Jinhua still likes them.

Ah Huang is not considered a stray cat, it is a resident cat in the grass garden, but it is not a pet cat, but a cat with a legitimate job.

Q The Grass Garden is very large, but there are not many people who live here every day. Even if the servants clean it diligently, it is inevitable that there will be mice infesting it.So we put a cat in the garden.I usually don't care about it, but when the masters come to live, it is forbidden to approach the main house.

As a serious cat who needs to support his family, Ah Huang has obvious wildness in him.

When he first discovered Ah Huang, Xie Jinhua couldn't wait to exchange feelings with it.However, as an attendant, Li Sang must not let the master get close to the murderous thing.Seeing that Xie Jinhua really liked it, Li Sang had no choice but to cautiously step forward to test it out. As a result, Ah Huang swung his paw at him as quickly as lightning.Even though Li Sang reacted quickly and quickly withdrew his hand, the back of his hand was not scratched, but there was still a red mark left.

Ah Huang turned and ran.

In a hurry, Xie Jinhua imitated meowing.He doesn't simply call out "Mimi" or "Meow", but learns it vividly.Ah Huang ran under a tree, then turned to look at Xie Jinhua, and began to observe silently.Li Sang was stunned, he didn't expect his master to have such skills.

Xie Jinhua squatted down and slowly approached Ah Huang.Ah Huang was not particularly afraid of people.Every winter, it will slip into the kitchen to keep warm.The servants sometimes prepare a little food for it.Xie Jinhua showed that he was harmless, and Ah Huang allowed him to approach.

When Ke Qi came over, Xie Jinhua had just held A Huang in his arms not long ago.

Ah Huang said that it is ready, this is a gift for you.Well, you stupid hairless twolegs can stand back.It struggled twice in Xie Jinhua's arms.Li Sang was holding his heart all the time, and when he saw this, he said: "Master, put it down quickly. Don't be scratched by it."

"It... it scratches people?" Ke Qi looked at Ah Huang with vigilance.

Li Sang showed Ke Qi the red marks on his left hand, and said, "It's not as good as a domesticated pet." Li Sang is left-handed.

Ke Qi took another step back.The childhood shadow about the big cat scratching and chirping, even though he already knew that it was a joke made by grandma when coaxing the children.But he had had nightmares many times because of this joke, so at this moment, Ke Qi still couldn't help feeling... the egg hurts.

Xie Jinhua let go of his hand, Ah Huang borrowed some strength from his knees, and jumped onto the tree lightly.

Ke Qi looked at Ah Huang, thinking about the other Ah Huang.

Xie Jinhua thought about Ah Huang, and looked at this Ah Huang.

At this moment, the brain waves of the two people perfectly overlapped.

They all thought at the same time that even though they were all called Ah Huang, Ah Huang was cuter.

Xie Jinhua left Taoyuan step by step.Xie Jinhua has a sense of responsibility as an adult in his heart not to be playful, but to set a good example for Ke Qi.Therefore, when Ke Qi practiced calligraphy, Xie Jinhua silently wrote on the side.Ink is good ink, paper is good paper, pen is good pen, calligraphy is good calligraphy.

Many of the books that Xie Jinhua saw in the Treasure Pavilion in his previous life were actually orphans. Except for the collections in the palace, they are rare in the world.Although Xie Jinhua is very confident in his memory, he still wants to write the lonely copy silently for collection.It gave him a sense of accomplishment.

However, the matter of dictating the lonely copy needs to be kept from Xie's family.

It's not that Xie Jinhua wanted to hide his secrets, but if the eldest brother asked him where he saw these unique copies, what would Xie Jinhua say?He can only find the right time to take out everything in the future.So at this moment, only Ke Qi knew that Xie Jinhua was silently writing.From Xie Jinhua's point of view, Ke Qi knew very little about the Xie family's affairs. As long as he behaved calmly, Ke Qi would take it for granted that what he silently revealed were all Xie's family's books.

Because of these reasons, Xie Jinhua, like Ke Qi, also feels that it is much easier to live in Wencaoyuan, and he no longer needs to be restrained when doing things.

What's more, there are cats here!

As for what Ke Qi said about buying private property, Xie Jinhua thought about it carefully and felt that there was a lot to be done.He has the pride of Xie's family in his bones, so he doesn't feel any sense of crisis. He just thinks that when he wants to buy calligraphy and paintings in the future, will the thousand 800 taels of silver really go to the public to withdraw?As a bastard, this is too arrogant.But if we all point to his little monthly silver, how many calligraphy and paintings can he buy in total?

In this way, it is imminent to buy private property.

It's just that Xie Jinhua is not good at these things, so he entrusted them to the stewards below.

After Ke Qi finished practicing the big characters, he ran to the kitchen to get a rough charcoal pencil.He used the charcoal pencil to draw the design of the nail clippers on the wooden board.He has no professional training in this area, so the design drawing is not professional, but he remembers the simple physical principles in it.

"What is this?" Xie Jinhua asked.

Ke Qi didn't hide it, and said truthfully: "This is a small instrument for cutting nails. Here, you press lightly here, and it will press down..." The ancients were actually very wise. After seeing the design drawing of Lu Bansuo, Ke Qi felt that it was really nothing to draw a nail clipper.

Xie Jinhua, who had never used nail clippers, couldn't imagine the convenience brought by nail clippers.He only thought that Ke Qi's design looked very strange.

Although Chinese paintings sometimes involve perspective, light and dark sides, etc., compared with Western paintings that paid more attention to perspective and light during the Renaissance, the perspective in Chinese paintings is very rough.Ke Qi, as a layman in the field of painting, if asked to sum up the difference between traditional Chinese painting and Western painting, he always feels that Chinese painting requires freehand brushwork, while Western painting requires truth.And the three-dimensional design drawings he drew are of course different from the painting style at this time.

Seeing that Xie Jinhua seemed to be very interested in his painting style, Ke Qi casually drew a perspective view of a cube on the wooden board.

Xie Jinhua stared at the cube for a long time, then murmured: "I seem to understand a little bit..." If he just painted some still lifes, of course he didn't need to study this novel painting method, after all, people at this time don't pay much attention to skills And focus on artistic conception.But if he wants to paint a night banquet, he needs to integrate many characters and decorations into the same painting, and make them look extremely harmonious. It seems that he can use this painting method.

Ke Qi is going to kneel down to Xie Jinhua!If Ke Qi were to talk about perspective in detail, he would not be able to explain it well, after all, these are not things in his specialty.As a result, now Xie Jinhua said that he understood a little bit. Although understanding is different from being able to use it, isn't this comprehension really amazing?

Xie Jinhua is like a born literati.

If Xie Jinhua is given ample opportunities, Ke Qi feels that future generations will definitely add words such as "great writer", "great calligrapher" and "great painter" to the name of Xie Jinhua.However, standing in front of Xie Jinhua like this, Ke Qi would not feel inferior, because what Ke Qi is good at, Xie Jinhua is not good at.Considering Xie Jinhua's character, even if he can be admitted to the No. [-] Scholar in the future, he is not suitable to be an official at all.

"I want to do this business." Ke Qi said bluntly to Xie Jinhua, "After I have calculated and perfected the data, I will ask the craftsman to make a test product according to the drawings. If it is really easy to use, then it can be used with scissors, A file, eyebrow clipper, and ear pick come together in one set."

Xie Jinhua has never paid attention to business matters, but he knows that children need a lot of encouragement, so he said with a smile: "That's a good idea."

"It's just a small business... Fortunately, there will be some income." Ke Qi is very self-aware.If he hadn't been in high society, his nail clippers wouldn't be selling.However, since he has already stepped in, let's take this opportunity to pull Xie Jinhua to make more money.There are so many small things for eating, drinking and having fun in later generations, if he can figure out all kinds of small things, it should be enough for him to open a "Qizhen Pavilion".

But if you really want to build a Qizhen Pavilion, then you need to drag Xie San into the water.

As a prominent dandy in the capital, no one is more suitable to be a promotional spokesperson than Xie San.

Thinking that Xie Jinhua likes cats so much, Ke Qi considered whether to make him a cat teaser and a cat climbing frame.Well, with the cat teasing stick, which is a sacred object in the eyes of cats, cats will never scratch Chichi anymore.It should be too late to secretly please the cat owner from now on... right?

Sure enough, dogs are the best, Ke Qi decided to ask his uncle to add two meaty bones to Ah Huang!
