Gu Huaiqing rode his horse and galloped all the way, and soon arrived at Lion Alley.

When passing Duan's house, he deliberately slowed down, listened carefully to the movement inside, and found that there was no sound of monks knocking wooden fish and chanting scriptures.

Gu Huaiqing's brows were slightly relieved, the one-month ritual was over, and this might be a good start.

Gu Huaiqing handed the horse over to the boy, pushed the door open and entered the house, just as he walked into the yard, he heard a familiar meowing sound from the corner.

"Niu Niu, come here!" Gu Huaiqing looked over after hearing the prestige, and waved to Hu Niu with a smile.

Usually when Hu Niu saw Gu Huaiqing coming home, she would run over immediately, rubbing her trouser legs, rolling over her belly, and purring cheerfully, making her very affectionate.

But today was a bit abnormal, after Gu Huaiqing greeted Hu Niu, Hu Niu hesitated for a while, but she still stayed in the nest and did not lean over as usual.

"Niu Niu, what's wrong with you?" Gu Huaiqing wondered, is Hu Niu sick?

Gu Huaiqing walked to Hu Niu's side, knelt down and touched her little head: "Little boy, what's the matter?"

Huniu is now five months old. She is a half-sized civet cat. Because of the good food, she is round and plump, with smooth fur, strong and strong, full of air, especially a pair of green and watery cats. Big eyes, revealing a witty vigor.

Huniu sniffed at the master's finger, rubbed against Gu Huaiqing's palm twice, then carefully moved away a little, turned her head to look behind her, then turned her head and called out to Gu Huaiqing.

Gu Huaiqing looked in through the gap exposed by Huniu, and saw a snow-white ball of fur, which was a kitten, only the size of a palm, probably only a month or two old.

The kitty also found Gu Huaiqing, and shivered a few times, as if he was a little afraid of strangers.Hu Niu stepped forward and arched it with her head. Encouraged by Hu Niu, it opened its short legs, moved a few steps outside the nest, raised its head, and let out a baby-like cry.

Gu Huaiqing's first reaction was, Hu Niu gave birth?But when I think about it, it's impossible. Huniu is still young, and she is under my nose every day. If she becomes pregnant and gives birth, it is impossible for me not to find out.

So, this little white cat was picked up by Huniu?

Gu Huaiqing looked at Huniu, and Huniu also stared at him with round green eyes, there was a bit of begging in the eyes.

Gu Huaiqing laughed and said: "You are quite caring. If you get it back, what if its mother can't find it?"

Hu Niu flicked her tail and gave a dissatisfied glance, as if to defend herself.

Gu Huaiqing guessed that the little white cat might have been separated from its mother cat, or it was abandoned and homeless, so Huniu picked it up.

Gu Huaiqing pinched the little white cat's neck and lifted it up. The little white cat curled up in Gu Huaiqing's hands, looking cute and cute.Gu Huaiqing checked it carefully, and found that it was a little male cat. The whole body was snow-white without any stray hair. The most interesting thing was that it had a pair of mandarin duck eyes, one blue and one yellow pupils of different colors, very energetic and healthy.

Gu Huaiqing asked the servant to bring some leftover fish meat and fish soup from Hu Niu, and put them in a small earthen basin. The little white cat immediately rushed up and began to eat.

Looking at the little white cat eating well, and then looking at the wall next door, Gu Huaiqing suddenly had an idea...

Gu Huaiqing wrapped the little white cat in a soft thick cotton cloth, hugged it and jumped over the wall, quietly looking towards the mourning hall of Duan's family.

Unexpectedly, Duan Mingchen was not in the mourning hall. The monks who chanted scriptures and practiced rituals were all removed, and the paper money, wreaths and white flags were also put away. Only a white elegiac couplet was hung on the door, and a pair of white candles were burning in front of the hall.

Just as he was guessing where Duan Mingchen had gone, he heard familiar shouts from the Duan family's yard, mixed with the sound of punches and palms piercing the air, the corners of Gu Huaiqing's mouth slightly raised. It seemed that Duan Mingchen was practicing kung fu!

Gu Huaiqing was still feeling awkward, and didn't want Duan Mingchen to find out that he came to him on his own initiative, so he stood far away and eavesdropped for a while, until the movement of martial arts training stopped, and Duan Mingchen's footsteps sounded, as if he was walking towards the back hall.

Gu Huaiqing was startled, and quickly put the little white cat on the only way Duan Mingchen walked, then quickly turned over the fence, and slipped back to his home like a thief.

Duan Mingchen heard the sound of clothes flapping in the courtyard, and hurried over, but the courtyard was empty, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, he refused to show up when he came, Huaiqing was still blaming himself, right?

He was hesitating whether to chase after him, when he suddenly heard a shrill meow.

Duan Mingchen followed the prestige, and saw a cotton bag lying on the ground, a little white cat crawled out of it, it was not afraid of strangers, raised its small head, and stared at Duan Mingchen curiously with a pair of mandarin duck eyes.

Yo, what a cute cat!

Duan Mingchen was stunned for a moment, then slowly bent down, stretched out his hand, gently touched the kitten's head, and sighed: "You are also an orphan without father and mother?"

The kitten unceremoniously hugged Duan Mingchen's finger and gnawed it twice, but it didn't have all its deciduous teeth, and biting was just like scratching, not threatening at all.

Duan Mingchen hardly struggled psychologically, picked up the kitten, took a meaningful look at the fence of the Gu family, and then walked back slowly into the house.

On the other side of the wall, Gu Huaiqing kissed Hu Niu's head and made a gesture of victory.

Gu Huaiqing didn't rush to meet Duan Mingchen. The last time they broke up, even though he was wrong for beating someone, it's not impossible to ask him to take the initiative to apologize, but in case Duan Mingchen doesn't accept it, you can put a What about the stinky face?It's too embarrassing to put a hot face on a cold butt, so he won't do it!

However, maybe my slap is still useful. It seems that Duan Mingchen has come out of the trough, and if he is given a little more time, he should be able to fully recover, right?It's not too late to find him again.

After Huu Mu, Gu Huaiqing was so busy that he hardly had a chance to meet Duan Mingchen.

The Empress Dowager holds a Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party every year in this season. Not only the concubines in the palace, but also court wives and noble ladies are invited. It can be described as an annual event.

As the admiral and eunuch of the East Factory, Gu Huaiqing was responsible for the safety and security of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Club. In addition, Concubine Ning Gui was pregnant, and Xiao Jing also requested to strengthen the supervision of the palace. His work suddenly became heavier.

On the contrary, when Duan Mingchen and Ding You were at home, they were too busy to panic.He is a person who is used to being busy, and he is really not used to being idle suddenly.Gu Huaiqing also couldn't see anyone all day long. They used to be very busy, but they could always meet each other when they went to court, but now that Ding You was at home, he didn't have to go to court, so naturally he couldn't see Gu Huaiqing, which made him feel very disappointed.

In the middle of the night, with the rain falling in the sky, Gu Huaiqing dragged his exhausted body and rode back home.Although he was wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat on his head, his clothes were still wet.

The housekeeper welcomed Gu Huaiqing into the door, and quickly asked the servant to bring him hot water to wipe his face, and prepared clean clothes for him to change.

After Gu Huaiqing changed his clothes, he walked out feeling his hungry stomach, and saw a large pot of steaming chicken soup on the table. The chicken soup was golden yellow, but not greasy at all, and smelled carefully, it still had the fragrance of traditional Chinese medicine.

He knew his own cook well. He knew how to stew chicken soup, but his skill was not so good, nor did he know how to use such exquisite condiments.

Gu Huaiqing raised his eyes and glanced at the housekeeper. The housekeeper grinned while filling him with chicken soup, "Master Duan next door brought it over in person, and specifically asked me to simmer it on a low fire until you come back and drink it while it's hot."

The corners of Gu Huaiqing's mouth turned up slightly, he hummed in his nose, and asked again: "What else did he say?"

"I didn't say anything, I just ordered some fresh small miscellaneous fish back, and said it was for the kittens." The butler said, and slapped his head again, "Ah, look at my memory, I almost forgot, Mr. Duan I gave this ointment to remind you to apply the wound."

Gu Huaiqing lazily took the ointment, opened it and smelled it, it should be a good medicine for scalds: "Hmph, I will only send it when the wound is healed, it will be an afterthought!"

As he said this, there was a bit of joy on his face that couldn't be concealed.

The housekeeper peeked at Gu Huaiqing's face, worried for them.These two masters were originally as good as glue, wishing to stick together every day, but who knew that after returning from this errand, they became so stiff, and they didn't know what went wrong.

Gu Huaiqing had a gloomy face all day long, which made the servants tremble with fear, for fear of stepping on a thunderbolt.According to him, what can't be said in person? What's the point of sending it back and forth? It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry to kill the eunuch, oh no, the eunuch is not in a hurry to kill the housekeeper!

But the butler is just a butler after all, and he can't talk about the master's affairs, so he can only slander a few words in his heart.

Gu Huaiqing drank three bowls of chicken soup in a row, ate some chicken, and ate some rice. His stomach was full and he went for a walk in the yard to digest.

At this time, the rain has stopped, the clouds have dispersed, the air is filled with a touch of humidity, and a new moon is like a hook, quietly climbing up the treetops.

It was quiet all around, and suddenly there was a flute sound from the next door, the tune was melodious and lingering, as if a lover was whispering softly, and it seemed to be expressing lovesickness, faint sadness, and deep yearning.

Gu Huaiqing stood quietly and listened for a while, his heart seemed to be involved, and he involuntarily approached the wall.

The flute was played several times, but it stopped abruptly. Gu Huaiqing couldn't hold back, and jumped onto the wall. Almost at the same time, someone jumped onto the wall at the other end, and the two almost collided.

Duan Mingchen grabbed Gu Huaiqing and brought him into his arms. Before Gu Huaiqing could react, he sealed his lips with a wet kiss.

"Hmm..." Gu Huaiqing's eyes widened at first, but soon his body was weakened by the domineering kiss, and he was pressed in the arms of the man and rubbed wantonly.

Duan Mingchen kissed Gu Huaiqing so softly that he jumped off the wall and carried him into the back room.

When Gu Huaiqing regained her strength, she found that her clothes had been unbuttoned, and her bare chest was exposed, which was chilly.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Gu Huaiqing was taken aback and struggled hard.
