Cub Nursery

Jing Fengye would go out with black and white cubs every night, and sometimes with other cubs.

Because the convenient place of Honglu Temple is outside, there are occasional cubs going out at night for convenience, and the stove over the workshop does not cease fire at night, so that it can be used quickly the next day.

During the day, I couldn't see anything at all, so Yan Xun never noticed.

Until this day, Yan Xun went into the bathroom to take a bath, and when he came out, he found that Jing Fengye and the cubs were not guarding him, but were all in the room.

"What's the matter?" Yan Xun wondered.

The cubs are much more lively now, but they are still very sensible, basically they won't let Yan Xun worry about them.Jing Fengye was even more so, he never asked Yan Xun to help him, instead he would always help him by Yan Xun's side.

"My lord." Jing Fengye stood at the door, feeling a little nervous.

"My lord." The little cubs sat obediently on the kang, they didn't come to Yan Xun's side like before.

Yan Xun caught a glimpse of something behind Jing Fengye, and vaguely guessed something in his heart, but he still pretended not to know and walked forward.Very close to Jing Fengye, Yan Xun was completely blocked.

Looking down at Yan Xun, his eyelashes were long and curly, Jing Fengye swallowed, and slowly stepped aside and said, "A gift for my lord."

"Courtesy? Let me see." Yan Xun got on the kang.

It really is a wooden box, the outside is very smooth and nothing can be seen.The little cubs all looked at Yan Xun eagerly, their eyes were full of anticipation, the snake body cubs were too nervous to breathe.

Opening the wooden box, there was a layer of soft fur inside, Yan Xun felt very familiar, this is not the same as the wooden box given to Wang Zhener by the cubs, but this wooden box is much bigger.

Jing Fengye also got on the kang at some point, secretly looking at Yan Xun.

Open the fur, there is a big glass box outside, after Yan Xun saw the inside clearly, he just felt sour in his heart, as if the softest part had been touched.

Inside the big glass box, the small glass Yan Xun leaned against Jing Fengye's arms, as if falling asleep every time after taking a bath, but Jing Fengye looked dignified, if it wasn't for the dragon scales on his cheeks, It looks no different from ordinary people.

The two are in the middle, surrounded by cubs, snake body cubs, black and white cubs... Surrounding Yan Xun and Jing Fengye.

The appearance of the cubs was different from what Yan Xun saw when he first arrived. They were all dressed, chubby, with round faces and big eyes, all staring at Yan Xun in the circle.

Originally, the cubs told Yan Xun to make their own glass statues. At that time, Yan Xun didn't think much about it, and he didn't see these little guys busy with these things on weekdays, including Jing Fengye. .

"Very good." Yan Xun felt his nose was a little sore, he patted the cubs' heads one by one, and said happily, "Very good gift. I think it is most suitable to be placed in the middle..."

He went out with the wooden box in his hands, there was a wooden frame in the middle of the room, Yan Xun took the glass box out, put it on carefully, fixed it, and made sure there would be no problem, then he nodded in satisfaction.

The next day Pei Yu'er came and saw the glass box, stepped forward to take a closer look, and enviously said: "Your Excellency is really kind."

"It's the cubs who are sensible." Yan Xun said with a smile, "If brother Yu wants, you can discuss it with them."

Pei Yu'er was hesitant to talk at every opportunity, Yan Xun naturally knew why he came here in the first place, today Yan Xun was happy, so he took the initiative to talk about it.

"En." Pei Yu'er was naturally happy, and suddenly looked at the glasses Feng Ye, and slightly lowered her voice, "My lord, don't you really want to be with him?"

"Brother Yu, why do you ask like that?" Yan Xun was surprised.

He is the young minister of Honglu Temple, and the cubs are very special. Even though Yan Xun lives in Honglu Temple and even runs such a large stall, many people say something behind his back, but he and Jing Fengye are not mentioned. of.

At this time, Pei Yu'er actually saw it, and even said it.

"My lord, isn't it easy to see?" Pei Yu'er smiled and said, "Your lord is so handsome, but he doesn't often appear in front of people, otherwise all the brothers in the capital will be compared, and those guys can't do it. Lovesick every day?"

"No way." Yan Xun always felt that he looked ordinary, at first glance he couldn't tell that he was a brother at all, he was almost like a man, and he never shy away from getting along with Jing Fengye on weekdays.

At this time Pei Yu'er said it suddenly, Yan Xun couldn't help but look at Feng Ye in glasses, he didn't reject it in his heart, but felt that the current status quo was very good.

"My lord has great talent, this is what the emperor said in a succinct way." Pei Yu'er said in a low voice.

Yan Xun now understands a little bit, indeed, these days the commotion in Honglu Temple is getting bigger and bigger, so that now everyone knows about the 'Conservation Hall', and everyone knows that Yan Xun is talented and can create something that ordinary people don't like. Dare to think of something.

Maybe because of this, Yan Xun looks better?

"Thank you, I will pay attention." Yan Xun whispered.

"That's good." Pei Yu'er breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to talk to the cubs.

The more talented Yan Xun is, the more important it is. If people know that he and Jing Fengye are so close, it may backfire.Not to mention that almost everyone now hates the monsters who invaded the border, but even talking about monsters has turned pale. People like Zhou Guang who really know that the Conservation Hall is Honglu Temple may not agree to Yan Xun and Jing Fengye being together.

"My lord." Jing Fengye walked over as usual, but didn't get too close.

He was keenly aware of the change in Jing Fengye's attitude. Although the two of them spoke in a low voice just now, Jing Fengye's hearing is much stronger than ordinary people, so he must have heard them all. Yan Xun smiled easily and said, "It's still the same as usual. , I can’t do without your help.”

"But." Jing Fengye still hesitated, the last thing he wanted was to embarrass Yan Xun.

"What brother Yu said is indeed the same thing, I will pay attention to it. Usually we don't have outsiders here, why should it be like this." Yan Xun laughed, "What's more, our Honglu Temple is protected by Taoist soldiers. Nothing will happen."

Those Taoist soldiers almost never show up, and Yan Xun can count every slap he has seen, but these Taoist soldiers do exist, and Honglu Temple is always like an iron bucket.

After Yan Xun finished speaking, he ignored Jing Fengye, and stepped forward to move the tofu tub, which was full of water, Yan Xun tried his best to move it up a little bit.

"I'll do it." Jing Fengye hurried forward to help lift the tub.

The pressed tofu is different from the usual ones. It has almost no moisture and is still hard, and all the clear pulp inside has been pressed out.Yan Xun had already prepared salt water and put the dried tofu in.

The spices that Yan Xun found were boiling in the big iron pot, and after a while, the unique smell of the spices was emitted.

Put the soaked dried tofu into it to cook, Yan Xun also specially found the dyed gardenia grass, the color of the cooked tofu is like smoked, and the taste is different from tofu.

Yan Xun fried a few dishes with the dried tofu and asked everyone to try them.

"It's delicious." Pei Yu'er only took a bite, said something, and hurriedly continued to eat, and quickly finished everything on her plate.

"What if I take it out and sell it?" Yan Xun said with a smile.

Nowadays, beans are no longer vulgar. Poor people only cook beans and rice. Tofu made from beans is almost a must-eat food for rich people. People who are more particular in the capital have to buy the brine from Yan Xun. Tofu.

The taste of dried tofu is different, and the deliciousness is even higher.

"My family definitely wants to buy it." Pei Yu'er said, "The business must be very good."

Every few days, Yan Xun delivered the dried tofu to Du Qinsheng.

These days, Du Qinsheng is guarding the cement workshop, taking care of the entry and exit of cement, cement boards, and money every day.Du Qinsheng asked Du Qinsheng to tidy up the originally empty house, and it was very suitable for people to live in.

The stoves are also at the cement workshop, and the cubs come here almost every day, and Du Qinsheng has long been familiar with it. This time, he only saw Yan Xun but not the cubs, and looked behind him curiously.

"This is dried tofu, best served with wine," Yan Xun said.

"New food?" Du Qinsheng looked at the dried bean curds, they were not very good-looking, and hurriedly bought some by himself, and asked the cook to eat them. The taste was really good.

So Du Qinsheng bought all the dried tofu that Yan Xun brought out for the first time and sent them back to Du's mansion.

When dried tofu was sold like tofu, it set off a trend in the capital again.

It was because Song Feiliang loved to eat dried tofu so much that he even wrote a poem, which made those scholars want to try what this dried tofu was, which made Song Feiliang think twice a day.

When Yan Xun came out for a trip, he couldn't help laughing when he heard that the beans were dry.

"I heard that something big happened in the Imperial College." Yan Xun said with a smile.

"What's the matter?" The snake cub swam over curiously and asked.

Every time after Yan Xun went out and came back, he would always talk about things outside, just like telling stories, and the cubs liked to listen to it.

"It's about General Yang's family." Yan Xun remembered what he had heard from himself, couldn't help it, laughed for a while before speaking.

This is because of Yan Xun, he suggested to Zhou Guang that the students of Guozijian have to do it every time they go to class, and the teacher will do it. If they don't do it three times, they have to ask their parents.

The students themselves were not afraid of anything, but they were still afraid of the head of the family. In the first few days, most of the students did go to class obediently, but there was one person who was not convinced.

This person is quite famous, his name is Yang Qiong, he is well educated and good at martial arts, he doesn't go to the Imperial College all the year round, let alone attend classes.

This time when the news of Dianmao came out, Yang Qiong even made a point of saying, "I just don't go to Dianmao, what else can I do? If Mr. really goes to my house, I'm afraid he will type it out."

After clicking three times, Yang Qiong didn't show up.

Mister actually went to Yang's mansion in person, but he was called out by the servant before he entered the door.The husband was not injured, but he was frightened, so he sued Zhou Guang when he came back.

The next day Zhou Guang went to Yang's mansion in person, found Yang Qiong's father, that is, Yang Shuning, and talked about it well.

Yang Qiong felt that her family belonged to a family of military generals, and she was very knowledgeable, so she refused to obey the discipline, and even called her husband out when he came.Even if his father Yang Shuning knew about it, it must be just a joke.

But Zhou Guang didn't say anything when he came here in person, and even said it when he went to court, which made the emperor even concerned about whether Yang Shuning disciplined Yang Qiong.

All of a sudden, Yang Qiong became famous in the whole capital.

"General Yang was so angry that he whipped Yang Qiong a lot, and sent him directly to the Imperial College to recover from his injuries." Yan Xun said with a smile, "I heard that Yang Qiong was very dissatisfied and beat him every day in the Imperial College. It's really a joke."

"Why doesn't he learn punctuation obediently?" The flower tree cub held his face, "If there is no punctuation, there may be misunderstandings."

"Because he doesn't know the importance of punctuation, he just thinks he has what he has now." Yan Xun said lightly.

The flower tree cub rested his chin on one hand, and squeezed the noodles on the table with the other hand to eat, "There are people beyond people, and there is heaven beyond the sky. What if he encounters misunderstandings caused by punctuation in the future?"

The other cubs also looked over.

Yang Qiong is the son of Yang Shuning, and Yang Shuning is a general with countless monster blood on his hands.These little cubs were very afraid of Yang Shuning, but they didn't just take pleasure in Yang Qiong's misfortune.

Yan Xun's heart moved, "Then why don't I invite him here, and you guys try to make it clear to him?"

"En." The flower tree cub nodded heavily.

Now the cubs have learned a lot of characters, and naturally they have also learned punctuation. This is what Yan Xun taught them, and it is very important in the hearts of the cubs.

Yan Xun personally went to the Imperial College.

He is the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, although he is not very old, he is also a fifth-rank court official.

Although the students of Guozijian say they can supervise the country, they have no rank, and they have to salute Yan Xun when they meet Yan Xun.

In the room, Yang Qiong was sitting lazily by the window, playing with a round stone in his hand, not reading a book.Before Yan Xun entered the room, Yang Qiong suddenly turned his head and said with a sneer, "I know who you are, and you don't need to declare your family name. I don't know how to talk to people like you, it's really dirty my mouth."

"Aren't you talking to me just now?" Yan Xun said indifferently, "I have already asked your husband for leave, so I will go to Honglu Temple to attend lectures today."

"Impossible! I won't go to that place. If you tell me to go, I will kill all the cubs in my heart." Yang Qiong fiercely pushed the small stone in his hand, staring at Yan Xun like an enemy.

Yan Xun wasn't afraid, and said calmly, "It's nothing brave to bully the weak, if you dare to go and make those weak and weak bow down to you, that's your true skill."

What happened to the cubs sent as hostages by the Yao Kingdom, Yang Qiong's father was Yang Shuning, so he naturally knew very well.

Those cubs were either very vicious or not capable at all. Yang Qiong thought that he was not afraid of them.

"Okay! Let's go then!" Yang Qiong was moved by Yan Xun's words.

Before arriving at Honglu Temple, there is a long cement road outside, and there are people working in full swing.Seeing Yan Xun coming, they would smile and shout, "My lord."

"Zhang Si is here?" Yan Xun was a little surprised to see Zhang Si standing next to Little You'er, obviously also here to work.

Little You'er and Zhang Si ran over and were very happy to see Yan Xun.

"My lord!" Zhang Si cupped his hands and said, "Little You'er can read more than I do. I'm about to learn more, and I happen to be working here to earn some money."

"Zhang Si?" Yang Qiong looked at Zhang Si incredulously, "Why do you call him Sir? Do you know that he is..."

"Young Master Yang." Zhang Si cupped his hands again, "I know, but this is all voluntary."

Finding that Zhang Si's respect for Yan Xun really came from the heart, Yang Qiong snorted and stopped talking.

Along the way, Yang Qiong already knew that the cement used for road construction was produced by the workshop of Honglu Temple. These men and brothers who served in the army were also because of Yan Xun’s proposal. , My brother can have wages and take care of meals.

The road is very smooth, like a huge rock, with drains on both sides, even if it rains, it will not be muddy or stagnant.

It had just rained a few days ago, and other roads were a bit muddy, but this road was clean, and now it was very dry, and Yang Qiong felt much lighter walking on it.

He was not afraid of entering Honglu Temple, because Yang Qiong knew that there were Taoist soldiers around.

"It's a guest." The little cub hurried into the house when he heard the movement.

The table was wiped clean, snacks, fruits and tea were served, and the windows were closed because of the cold weather.

Swaggeringly changed shoes and entered the house, and went to the kang again, Yang Qiong looked at these little cubs coldly.

The cubs are all dressed in clean and soft clothes, and they look human-like.Yang Qiong snorted coldly. He had been to the battlefield and seen those ferocious monsters. They were all disheveled and shameless.

"He is Yang Qiong." Yan Xun also got on the kang, and said calmly, "If you want to convince them, you can use other things besides force."

"Oh?" Yang Qiong sneered, "What do they know? Literacy, or poems and songs?"

The little cubs were a little scared and hid behind Yan Xun.

Touching the little cub's head, Yan Xun said: "I don't think it's better than this. You ask a question to see if they know it, and then they ask you another question."

Yan Xun's proposal seemed fair, but extremely unfair.At least the monsters that Yang Qiong had seen before could only say a few simple words, they didn't think about things, killing and eating people was all based on instinct.

These little cubs are well dressed, but in Yang Qiong's view, they are the same as those monsters.

"Okay." Yang Qiong agreed.

"The visitor is a guest, you ask first." Yan Xun said calmly.

Finding that Yang Qiong's expression was a little off, and he didn't make a move, the cubs became more courageous, came out from behind Yan Xun, and sat in a row in front of Yang Qiong.

Near the window, Zhang Si and Xiao Youer followed and sat there, watching Yang Qiong silently.

With a cold snort, Yang Qiong just happened to see the sunlight coming in through the bright window, a slightly weird smile appeared on his face, and he asked, "Tell me, is the sun in the sky round or not?" square?"

Zhang Si and Xiao You'er were taken aback for a moment, and even Jing Fengye suddenly fell in love with Yang Qiong.

"It's okay if I can't tell for a while, I'll wait." Yang Qiong only felt elated, looked at Yan Xun triumphantly, and waited for him to admit defeat.

Playing with brains, especially playing with monsters, Yang Qiong thinks it is as simple as eating and drinking.If only killing monsters at the border was so easy, he really liked this feeling.

"You really want to know?" Yan Xun asked.

"Yes." Yang Qiong was decisive.

The cubs on the opposite side suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the snake body cub swam to a cabinet and opened it with its tail.The flower tree cub hurried over and took out some weird things from it.

The cubs started to fiddle with these things on the table, a piece of white cloth, very flat, and a board as thin as a cicada's wing, which looked very strange.

Yang Qiong looked at it for a long time but didn't understand it, so she said coldly: "What? Are you pretending to be a ghost?"

"Of course not, Honglu Temple never pretends to be a ghost, don't forget there are Taoist soldiers watching outside, they are more capable than you." Yan Xun said calmly.
