Chapter 9 The Cat Called Xiao Hei

Of course, it was impossible for Cheng Zian to find a cat to feed the cub, not to mention that the Cheng family didn't have a cat at all, and he really didn't have so much time to find a nursing cat.Besides, a cat is no better than a dog, and it cannot be tied up with a chain. If you really get a cat to nurse, you don't know how many troubles can be caused, let alone the existence of this kitten.

Cheng Zian knew that she would not drink dog milk after calling for a few times but did not see the kitten come back.

With a little helplessness, Cheng Zian led the innocent-looking dog nurse away again.On the way, I also thought about it. Since the kitten is afraid of dogs and won’t drink milk, can it be fed directly with milk?He turned his head and laughed again. He had heard of milking cows, but he had never heard of milking dogs.

The back and forth in the early morning really delayed some time. When Cheng Zian led the watchdog back to the backyard again, there was already someone in the empty backyard——a gray-haired old man was squatting in front of the kennel. Probe to look in, then look at it and mutter: "Where is the dog? Where is the dog?"

Of course there were still dogs in the kennel, and the bitch's five puppies were all in there, sleeping soundly in a huddled ball.But what the old man was looking for was obviously not these puppies. He still had a food bowl full of food by his hand, and it was here to feed this big dog.

"Uncle He." Cheng Zi'an, who took the dog away privately, felt a little guilty, but he couldn't hear anything in his cold voice when he spoke.

Uncle He raised his head when he heard the sound, with a kind smile on his face: "Young master, why are you free to come to the backyard this morning?" After speaking, he glanced at the dog led by Cheng Zian, and was a little puzzled: "Is Dahei the dog?" Did the young master take you away?"

Cheng Zian pursed his lips, and couldn't explain further, so he could only say vaguely in the end: "Well, I needed it to help with some things, but now I don't need it, so I sent it back."

Fortunately, Uncle He didn't ask any more questions, he took the dog's rope with a smile, and said: "Leave Dahei to me, it's getting late, young master, let's go to the main courtyard quickly." , the old lady and madam are probably already waiting."

Hearing this, Cheng Zian hurriedly raised his head to look at the sky, seeing that it was getting late, he hurriedly said goodbye and prepared to leave.Just after taking two steps, he seemed to remember something, turned around and asked, "Uncle He, do you know where I can get cow's milk or goat's milk?"

Although the topic changed abruptly, Uncle He immediately replied: "It's in the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of our house." After speaking, he was a little confused, so he asked: "Young master, do you want to drink milk? Didn't you Don't you think it's too fishy?"

Of course Cheng Zian didn't like that stuff, it should be said that the whole Cheng family didn't like it, they disliked the strong smell of milk and wouldn't drink it unless necessary.Usually, I have heard that ladies in Beppu like to drink and use it, and it is said that it can beautify the skin.Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng have no interest in this, so the Cheng family has never had the habit of preparing cow's and goat's milk.

Now that he has asked, Cheng Zian can't say that he has a cat that needs milk, so he can only explain dryly: "Oh, I went out to meet Li Lin and the others yesterday, and I heard from them that you should drink more. Those with cow’s milk and goat’s milk will grow taller.”

Obviously, He Bo believed it.Although Cheng Zian's height is taller than boys of the same age, young people are particularly obsessed with growing taller.His parent's grandson is fifteen years old, one year older than Cheng Zian. He heard people say that drinking bone soup can grow taller, so he saw Tian'er pestering his mother to make bone soup. high.

Thinking of his eldest grandson, Uncle He's expression became softer, and the smile in his eyes was undisguised: "I've heard this saying before, the young master will be a handsome man in the future, so of course he has to be tall. If it doesn’t start tomorrow, I’ll ask Zhuangzi to deliver cow’s and goat’s milk, right?”

The Cheng family's Zhuangzi outside the city is a bit far away, and they usually don't come to the master's house, and only occasionally send some produce.It would be too troublesome if people really sent cow and goat milk to the mansion every day, he just wanted to raise a cat, he didn't want to bother others like this, so he waved his hands and said: "Zhuangzi is too far away, why bother. Uncle He, I'm just asking casually, I don't like drinking these things at all, so don't take this matter to heart."

The conversation was delayed for a while, Cheng Zian looked up at the sky, and found that it was a little later than usual to go to the main courtyard, so he didn't care so much right now, and left quickly after saying goodbye.

He Bo held Dahei by the hand, and laughed while watching Cheng Zian's back leaving in a hurry.He shook his head, led Dahei back to the kennel, turned his head, went to the stable to fetch a horse, and then went out.

************************************************** ****************

Hurry up, Cheng Zian is destined to be late when he arrives at the main courtyard.

Standing outside the door and tidying up his clothes, Cheng Zian just stepped into the door of the dining room when he heard a majestic old female voice: "Today is half a quarter late."

Cheng Zian's heart skipped a beat—his family's tutoring was different from other families', and punctuality was especially important.The situation on the battlefield is changing, if he leads troops to cooperate with others in the future, being late for half an hour may decide the victory or defeat of a war.

Cheng Zian, who knew he was wrong, quickly lowered his head and obediently admitted his mistake: "Grandmother calm down, it's my grandson's fault. I've been delayed for a while because of something today, and I didn't send someone to say it. Grandmother and mother have been waiting for a long time."

There were only two people sitting on the round table in the dining room, an old woman with gray hair and a dignified expression, and a beautiful middle-aged woman with a worried face. They were Cheng Zian's grandmother and mother.And the real Cheng family members in the whole Cheng manor are only the three of them. Cheng Zian's grandfather has long since died in battle, but Cheng Zian's father is not mentioned.

Seeing that Cheng Zian's attitude of admitting his mistakes was not bad, Mrs. Cheng didn't make things too difficult for him, but just looked him up and down, and said: "This is not an example."

Cheng Zian hurriedly bowed in response.

Seeing this, Mrs. Cheng knew that the matter was over, so she stood up and pulled Cheng Zian to sit down, and said in a gentle voice: "Ah Jie, it's getting late today, hurry up and have dinner, sir. coming."

Cheng Zian nodded, but he didn't go to get the chopsticks immediately, but waited for Mrs. Cheng to do it first.Unexpectedly, the old lady glanced at her eyes, but asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"

Subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but forced himself to hold back.Cheng Zian glanced over the back of his hand as if inadvertently, and saw three scratches faintly visible on the back of his hand.It was accidentally caught while bathing the cat cub last night. At that time, there were only three red marks and no blood was seen. I thought it would disappear today, but who knows that it did not disappear, and his skin color is too Fair and fair, the sharp-eyed Mrs. Cheng saw it.

"Oh, yesterday when I was having dinner with Li Lin and the others in Zuixian Tower, a cat broke into the building, and my grandson was accidentally caught by that cat." Cheng Zian said ambiguous words solemnly.

Fortunately, this is not a big deal, the three scratches are already very light, if not for the good eyesight of the old lady, I am afraid they would not be able to see it.Tomorrow morning at the latest, it will disappear as soon as it is certain.

So the three of them stopped talking, and Cheng Zian accompanied his mother and grandmother to eat quietly, and then hurriedly left the main courtyard and rushed to his own courtyard.

The teacher Mrs. Cheng invited was once the teacher of Hongfeng Academy in the suburbs of Beijing. He was impeccably knowledgeable. He only returned to the capital to prepare for retirement when he was old.Mrs. Cheng was able to invite someone here because of some past affection, and everyone knew that Cheng Zian, who was born in a family of generals, did not study for scientific examinations, but for the sake of reading.

For convenience, Cheng Zian's study place was conveniently arranged in his own yard, and he could go back to the study to practice calligraphy after listening to the old master's lecture.Today, as usual, he came out of the main courtyard and hurried to his own courtyard, but when he bumped into a maidservant on the way, he ordered him to send a bowl of porridge and a boiled egg to his own courtyard.

The servant girl was a little puzzled, but still didn't ask any more questions, and hurried to the direction of the kitchen after answering.When Cheng Zian returned to the gate of the small courtyard, someone had already brought porridge and boiled eggs.

"Is Master here?" Cheng Zian took the things and asked the boy who was cleaning the yard.

"Not yet." The servant hurriedly replied.

Cheng Zian felt relieved after hearing this, and went back to his room with the porridge.

After closing the door, the cat who heard the movement looked over.Her Majesty the Empress, who was suffering from hunger, saw that there was no sign of the black dog, so she ran out in peace. When she looked up and saw Cheng Zian still holding a bowl, she became even more excited.

Cheng Zian saw the little thing running to his feet, then suddenly stood up, and two immature kitten paws hugged his calf...

Then his heart softened all of a sudden, Cheng Zian bent down and picked up the cat, put it on the table, put the porridge bowl in his hand on the table, tapped the table lightly with his finger, and asked: "White rice porridge , do you want to eat?"

He still remembered that the kitten was picky last night when he was hungry, but he couldn't find any other suitable food, so he wanted to try it.

Unexpectedly, after Chu Yi went through such a frenzied incident as the "dog nurse", he suddenly felt that the white rice porridge was extremely cute.She was even more afraid that Cheng Zian would find another nanny for her, so she rushed to the porridge bowl without saying a word and started eating.

"..." Is this a picky eater or not picky eater?

Cheng Zian was speechless when he saw that the cat was eating happily with its tail up.But what can you do with a wayward cat?

Picking up the egg with his slender fingers and knocking it lightly on the table, Cheng Zian began to peel the eggshell slowly, with light and elegant movements.His eyes swept over Mao Zai'er, and he suddenly felt that he should give Mao Zai'er a name, it can't always be called "little thing" or "mao Zai'er", right?

Her Majesty the Empress had fluffy black hair, except for her four little paws which were snow-white, there was not a single hair on her whole body.Chu Yi was a little satisfied last night when he was looking after the water, at least she isn't ugly when she becomes a cat, isn't she?

To be honest, with such a coat color, a name like "Treading Snow" is very appropriate—although this name seems to be more suitable for a horse—but Cheng Zian just knew that the black dog at the gate was called "Da Hei" this morning. , seeing Chu Yi's black hair now, what popped into his mind could not possibly be "Treading Snow".

Zi'an looked at Chu Yi who was eating, and suddenly said, "Little thing, how about I give you a name?"

I have a name!ignorant boy...

Chu Yi rolled his eyes, but he didn't pay much attention to it—her name was only taken when the old emperor took him out of the cold palace when he was 12 years old. Before that, she didn't have a name at all.

Then at the next moment, His Majesty the Empress heard the young Zi'an continue in a serious manner: "How about calling him Xiao Hei?"

The author has something to say: If one day, Her Majesty the Empress knows about "Dahei"...

Boy, let's break up! ! !
