Dragon cubs are the group pet of the Qing Palace

"Brother Ten..."

Yin'e heard the little guy's voice, and immediately looked down at him: "What's wrong?"

"When are we going back?"

It was lively in cafes and streets before, and there were many things that could attract the attention of the little guy, so he would stay in a quiet room, and he immediately began to think about Kangxi and Qingxi Bookstore.

"Is it okay to talk after dinner first?" Yin'e could only coax him first, and then he simply took him to recite the book.

"Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou Wu, King Zheng..."

Yinzhen had already arrived downstairs when the sound of the little guy's childish voice reading was heard in the room.

The first floor of the hotel was arranged as a tavern, and there were already many people drinking in it.

Although the arrival of the cafe has attracted many regular customers from the tavern, the charm of alcohol is still great, and there are still customers coming in at the door.

Yinzhen originally wanted to talk to the people in the hotel, and asked them to bring some food to the room before going up, but just as he went downstairs, he was hit on the shoulder by a blind drunk.

Yinzhen thought that the little guy was still waiting for him upstairs, and he was too lazy to argue with this person who was not sober at first glance, so he raised his hand and lightly brushed his clothes before going around him to leave, but the person raised his finger and pointed at him instead stand up.

The other party is a middle-aged man with brown hair, tall and tall, and looks like he has a bad temper.

Yinzhen didn't fully understand what he was scolding, but she knew from his expression and movements that it was definitely not a good thing.

In this strange country, Yinzhen with his two younger brothers doesn't want to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean he's afraid of trouble.

When the opponent's hand was about to point to Yinzhen's face, Yinzhen grabbed his hand directly, and the backhand was a catch.

Even though Yinzhen deliberately wore a hat, the long robe and mandarin jacket on his body still felt a bit out of place in the tavern, so many guests noticed him as early as when he went downstairs.

Seeing him collide with that middle-aged strong man, the guests in the tavern have already mourned for him in their hearts, and are waiting for the next excitement.

However, there was excitement, but it was not as the guests thought, and many people suddenly cried out in surprise.

Obviously, the guests in the tavern did not expect that the middle-aged man who looked taller and stronger would be so easily subdued by Yinzhen, and even begged for mercy.

The hotel owner ran over after noticing the commotion here, and with a bit of apology asked Yinzhen to let go of the guests who already knew they were wrong.

The drunk was a little sober because of the pain from his hand. The boy looked thin and small, but he couldn't move when he stretched out his hand. He was so fierce just now that he begged for mercy.

Yinzhen threw the man out of his hand, flicked his palm in distaste, and said a few words to the shop owner.

"Okay, sir, wait a moment, I'll get someone ready right away."

The hotel owner probably found that Yinzhen was not easy to mess with, and his attitude was more enthusiastic and cautious than when he first came to the store.

As for the drunk who fell to the ground because of Yinzhen's actions, he quickly turned around and ran outside when he got up.

After a while.

Yinzhen went upstairs again, followed by two hotel clerks, one holding a candlestick and the other carrying food.

"Yin Russia."

In the room, Yin'e heard Yinzhen's voice and immediately carried the little guy to open the door.

"Ninth Brother!"

Seeing Yinzhen entering the door, the little guy immediately reached out to him.

When Yinzhen reached out to take him into his arms, one of the two hotel clerks who came up lit the candlestick in the room, and the other put the food in his hand on the table.

When they exited the room, the room suddenly brightened up and exuded the aroma of food.

"Where are the chopsticks?"

The little guy was carried to the table by Yinzhen and sat down. After looking for it on the table, he didn't see the chopsticks.

"Nine Brothers feed you." After Yinzhen finished speaking, he picked up the spoon on the table, dug potatoes from the plate and fed them to his mouth

.

In addition to potatoes, there are also fried fish, some grilled meat, and chopped and boiled vegetables on the table. To be honest, compared with the imperial meal, these foods look less appetizing.

Originally there was still some wine, but Yinzhen ordered someone to take it away.

"Foreigners are really strange. They don't even have chopsticks to eat, and what are they eating..." Yin'e couldn't help but said.

Hearing what he said, the little guy raised his head and said, "This meal is not delicious!"

"Eat more, or you will be hungry." Yinzhen coaxed.

"Okay, can I go back after eating?"

The little guy opened his mouth and asked.

"Let's finish eating first."

After a not-so-delicious dinner, the sky completely darkened, and they faced another problem, which was washing.

As elder brothers who are used to being served by others, Yinzhen and Yin'e not only have to be self-reliant, but also have to take care of the little ones.

"Why don't you just go to sleep?" Yin'er felt dizzy after thinking about it, so he proposed.

However, Yinzhen felt that they were flying in the sky, landing, and wandering around again this day, and felt that washing could not be saved.

When the waiter came up to collect the dishes, Yinzhen asked someone to bring hot water over. After he and Yin'e took turns washing up, they began to help the little guy bathe.

Cheng An liked water, and when he saw the basin was full of water, he would take off his clothes on his own initiative.

Seeing that he cooperated so well, Yin'e even praised him a few words, thinking that he deserves to be his younger brother, that is to say, he is sensible.

However, he boasted too early, and he didn't realize what a big head was until he officially started bathing the little guy.

"Cheng An, don't play with the water with your hands, the water will splash on Brother Ten..."

"You can't do it with your feet, Brother Ten has already bathed, so you don't need to wash it again..."

"If you are disobedient again, brother ten will tickle you, believe it or not?"

His non-serious tone will only make the little guy feel that it's no big deal, so he continues to play with the water while giggling.

Yinzhen didn't know how long he would have to wash until he saw that he continued to make trouble, fearing that he would catch a cold, so she sternly shouted: "Cheng'an!"

Seeing his serious expression, the little guy immediately put his hands and feet back obediently, and honestly let his two older brothers help him take a bath, but occasionally he couldn't help shrinking his neck and laughing when he was itchy from being washed by them.

After bathing, the little guy also put on the new clothes he bought here.

Just now when Yin'e put on the clothes here, she felt disgusted in all kinds of ways, thinking that the style was strange, it was not made of silk, and the pattern was not delicate enough, so she laughed when she saw the little guy put on the clothes.

"Cheng An really looks good in anything!"

After speaking, he conveniently put the hat on the little guy, feeling that none of the foreign kids he saw on the street during the day was as good-looking as his younger brother.

The little guy thought it was fun to wear new clothes, but when he heard his brother's praise, he immediately rolled his eyes with a smile: "My brother looks good too~"

Until this moment, the atmosphere among the three brothers was rarely relaxed for a while.

But when the little guy was picked up and put on the bed, the relaxed atmosphere suddenly disappeared because of his words.

"An'an is not sleepy, we should go back!"

Yinzhen didn't avoid talking about this topic anymore, but said to him seriously: "This place is a bit far from the capital, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back today, Cheng An, be good, rest first."

"Is it because An Anfei is too fast?" The little guy raised his face, and couldn't help but grab his clothes with his little hands.

Seeing the little guy getting depressed, Yinzhen stroked his head and comforted him: "It's none of Cheng'an's business, Cheng'an is ready to stop, it's the bad wind that brought us here."

"Yes, it's all to blame for the gust of wind." Yin'e also echoed.

Hearing what his brothers said, the little guy clenched his fist and said, "Bad wind!"

Knowing that he couldn't go back today, although the little guy was a little disappointed, he didn't make trouble anymore, and after being hugged and lay down by Yinzhen, he obediently closed his eyes.

Yinzhen and Yin'e were lying on both sides of him. They didn't feel sleepy for a while, but in order to let the little guy fall asleep quickly, they didn't speak.

"An'an misses Ama..."

After a while, the little guy couldn't help opening his eyes and said.

Yinzhen heard his words, looked sideways at him, and coaxed in a soft voice: "Cheng An sleeps first, and he will go back after resting."

Although the little guy turned into a dragon and flew a little unreliably, for example, he ran to the West now.

But compared to going back by boat, flying back is much faster, and when it comes to risks, the risks at sea are not small, so if possible, Yinzhen still wants to fly back directly when he can turn into a dragon, otherwise it will take a long time. Ama didn't know how anxious to get angry.

Although Cheng An is still young, he also knows that he is the one who brought his brother so far. This meeting is rare and well-behaved. Even if he really misses Ama and wants to go back, he still closes his eyes again, and even puts his little hand on his chest. patted himself in front of him.

After an unknown amount of time, the three brothers in the room finally fell asleep.

"Ama woo...An'an wants Ama..."

In the middle of the night, the little guy who was half asleep and half awake suddenly burst into tears for some reason, and Yinzhen, who was not very sound asleep, woke up immediately, hugged him in his arms and coaxed him for a while before coaxing him back to sleep.

As for Yin'er, it may be that he was exhausted after the day, but he slept soundly, and the crying of the little guy didn't wake him up.

When he woke up the next day, Cheng An no longer remembered what he cried that night, but when he opened his eyes and saw the two older brothers, his first reaction was to ask: "Can we go back?"

The little guy who just woke up had a flushed face, lying on the bed with his round eyes wide open, looking at people, he was milky and obedient, so Yin'e couldn't help but reach out and rub his face.

After pulling Yin'e's hand away, Yinzhen directly hugged the little guy, put his arms around him and asked, "Can Chengan become a dragon now?"

Hearing this, the little guy shook his head after trying to feel it.

"Does An'an have to become a dragon to go back?"

Seeing the little guy looking up at him, Yinzhen didn't want to put pressure on him: "No, it's just that it's faster to fly back."

"Then what should I do if I can't change?" The little guy suddenly became anxious.

Yinzhen reassured: "There's no rush, if it doesn't work, we'll go back by boat."

It's all here, and they can't put all their hopes on the little guy becoming a dragon. If he can't change in a short time, they can't stay here all the time.

Out of this consideration, Yinzhen decided to go out for a walk after simply having a very ordinary breakfast.

Probably because he had gone shopping yesterday, and when he went to the street again today, Cheng An, who was thinking about Ama, was not as active as yesterday. He leaned his small face on the shoulder of Yinzhen who was holding him, and only looked around occasionally.

"This place really looks completely different from Daqing..."

Even though she had seen it yesterday, Yin'er still couldn't help sighing while walking on the street at this time.

The three brothers, who put on local costumes and hats, were not as conspicuous as yesterday, only occasionally being glanced at by passers-by.

Yinzhen was more perceptive than Yin'e, and he found that Western business was more prosperous than he had imagined.

Even though she had already learned about the general situation in London from Brooke yesterday, but with her two younger brothers by her side, Yinzhen still didn't dare to take them around.

He thought about it, and simply went to the cafe from yesterday again.

"I don't drink medicine!"

As soon as the little guy saw the cafe, he thought of the "bitter medicine" he drank yesterday, and immediately raised his head and said.

"Who told you to drink the medicine?" Yin'e rubbed his head with a smile.

As Brook himself said, he really loves to come to this cafe when he has nothing to do. When Yinzhen and the others entered the door, he noticed it immediately and greeted them warmly: "Oh, I'm so glad to see you again!"

I don't know if it was because of his hair color, but the little guy immediately smiled when he saw him.

"Hi An An!" Brook saw this cute little guy

Smile to yourself and say hello to him happily.

The little guy raised his little hand and waved at him, imitating his accented tone and replied: "Hello~"

"He's so cute!" Brooke couldn't help boasting to Yinzhen, and then added, "I forgot to ask yesterday, is this your son?"

When Yin'e heard this, she almost choked on her own saliva, and when she turned her head to look at the gesture of her brother Ninth hugging the little guy tightly, she suddenly felt that it really looked like that.

Yinzhen glared at him before saying to Brooke, "This is my younger brother."

"An'an is Ama's son!" The little guy also reacted and raised his head.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I mean, you guys look alike..."

To apologize, Brooke offers to buy them coffee.

Cheng An naturally wouldn't touch coffee again, so he served him a cup of milk as usual.

The local breakfast is really mediocre. It is rare for the little guy to stop and refuse to eat when he is half full. When he sees milk, he immediately hugs it and drinks it.

Brooke liked to chat with them very much. While introducing them to the situation in Great Britain, he also asked them a lot about the situation in Qing Dynasty.

Although he can speak Chinese with an accent, he is not particularly proficient, at least not as good as those foreign ministers or missionaries in the capital, so he often speaks a few words of foreign language.

Therefore, the main conversation partner with him is Yinzhen, and Yin'e is responsible for taking care of the little guy while listening, cleaning him up when his mouth is full of milk, and feeding him a small biscuit on the table.

"I've always been curious, why is your Qing Dynasty unwilling to open up trade?"

While chatting, Brook suddenly asked a question.

The Brooke family was a businessman, and he was well aware of the great demand of Great Britain for tea, silk, porcelain and other commodities from the Qing Dynasty, so he felt sorry for not being able to trade freely.

After the ban of the Qing Dynasty, Western countries could only take the opportunity to trade in the Qing Dynasty under the guise of "tributary".

In order to increase the frequency of trade, the Netherlands even took the initiative to send a navy to help Kangxi conquer Xiamen. This will change the trade from once every eight years to once every two years.

The Forbidden Sea started from Emperor Shunzhi, and Yinzhen, as a grandson, naturally couldn't say anything, so he brought up this topic very naturally.

Brook just asked casually, and soon chatted with him about other things.

Afterwards, Brooke, who learned that they wanted to visit London, enthusiastically offered to lead them.

It is indeed much better to have a local with you, at least you don't have to worry about getting lost.

Along the way, Yin'e and the little guy just watched the excitement, while Yinzhen observed everything they saw.

Because of Yinzhen's curiosity, Brooke took them to visit his factory.

Excuse me, Yinzhen specially invited Brooke to have lunch at a tavern at noon all morning.

In the afternoon, Brooke took them to some nice places in London, and the two parties parted ways.

At the same time, it was already late at night in Qing Dynasty.

There is no news so far, Kangxi can only hope that the person has already arrived at Yinzhen's side, but because the distance is too far, the news has not yet come.

"It's true that the bigger you get, the more disobedient you are..."

In the study, Kangxi looked at the portrait on the wall, couldn't help but took two steps forward, raised his hand and knocked on the head of the little guy with a bright smile.

In the portrait, the little guy is admiring the flowers. His white and tender face is in front of the flowers. His smile is brighter than the blooming flowers. There is even a butterfly on his shoulder.

"Still laughing, wait until you come back to see how I deal with you!" Kangxi moved his fingers to pinch his little face, but only felt the warm drawing paper.

"Long live, it's late at night..."

After Liang Jiugong reminded him in a low voice, Kangxi stood in front of the painting for a while before turning back to the dormitory.

The next day.

When Kangxi woke up, the first thing he said was: "I dreamed last night that Cheng An was calling me..."

Liang Jiugong felt that he was thinking day by day and dreaming at night.

Consolation: "Long live Lord, don't worry, with Jiu Beizi here, I will definitely take good care of my little elder brother."

As for Yin'e, he knew that Kangxi would not like to hear it, so he didn't mention it.

Although Kangxi disliked Yinzhen's business and competing for profit with the people, he was quite at ease with him in other respects. Hearing Liang Jiugong's words, he rubbed his brows and got up from the bed.

Now he can't do much, he can only wait for good news from Tibet.

outside the capital.

After finding the present along the way, Yinfeng inexplicably felt that it was unlikely that the little guy was nearby.

He recalled the description of Liu Cai and others that day, saying that after Cheng An brought Yinzhen and the others, they flew away in a flash, and they couldn't even see their shadows. He felt that at this speed, they might have reached Tibet.

Thinking of this, Yinfeng simply let most of the people around him continue to search along the way, while he rushed to Tibet with a few guards.

Great Britain.

When shopping in the afternoon, Yinzhen passed by a bookstore and went in for a stroll, and finally bought a bunch of books.

There was still some gold in the little guy's purse, but Yinzhen thought about it, but he still didn't spend it. Instead, he exchanged his jade pendant for the book.

The jade pendant he wears is not to mention the jade carving, even the knots on it are exquisitely woven.

The bookstore owner was not willing at first, but when Brook rushed to express that he would pay for it and asked Yinzhen to give him the jade pendant directly, he immediately agreed.

But Yinzhen finally gave the jade pendant to Brooke. After all, even if this jade pendant is not his favorite, it is better to give it to someone who knows the goods than to someone who does not.

After returning to the hotel, the little guy stood in front of the chair and played with those books.

"Pile it so high, be careful not to hit your head." Yin'er saw that he piled the books higher than his head and said, but when he saw that he was still putting them up on tiptoe, he couldn't help but help.

After helping him, Yin'e couldn't help turning her head to look at Yinzhen: "Brother Ninth, what are you doing after buying so many books? You can't even read them."

"Learn if you don't understand."

In fact, Yinzhen is already learning by himself with this book.

His language talent is already good, and he has a foundation in many foreign languages. He even asked Brook for advice during the day today. It is not too difficult to learn by himself.

Yin'e was not a studious person since he was a child. He picked up a book and opened it, but there was not a word he knew.

"Where do we start to learn..." Yin'er sighed and dropped the book, thinking that Yinzhen would learn if he wanted to, but he would definitely not know how to learn anyway.

"Cheng An, are you hungry?"

Yin'e asked after playing with the little guy for a while.

The little guy nodded and shook his head when he heard his words.

"What do you mean?" Yin'er asked puzzled.

"An'an is a little hungry, but doesn't want to eat."

"Why don't you want to eat?"

Yin'e thought he was missing Huang Ama again, but he said, "The food here is not good!"

Not only is it not delicious, it is simply unpalatable!

Yin'e agreed with his words in his heart, but he didn't say it out of his mouth, otherwise he was afraid that the little guy would really refuse to eat later.

Hearing what they said, Yinzhen put down the book in his hand, got up and asked someone to bring dinner.

"Ah~"

When the meal started, the little guy couldn't help but sighed while looking at the food in front of him.

Although Yin'e also disliked the food here, but seeing him sigh after eating, he suddenly felt a little funny.

But after laughing, thinking that the little guy was supposed to be eating the dinner carefully prepared by the imperial chef in Qingxi Bookstore at this time, I feel a little distressed that he has to suffer here at such a young age.

Next time I talk nonsense, I will be a pig!

Yin'e finished talking to herself in her heart and then said to the little guy: "Cheng An, good boy, when I get back, brother ten will buy you the Gu Gu chicken from the shop in the east of the city, and I will also buy you candied haws and donkey rolls..."

"Shut up!" Yinzhen saw that the little guy in his arms was about to drool at what he said,

I think he is deliberately not letting the little guy eat well.

"Brother Jiu, An An wants to eat Cuckoo Chicken."

In fact, since the occasional gourd chicken is served in lunch and dinner, the little guy is not so greedy for gourd chicken, at least not thinking about it every day.

But this time, after eating local food for two days, he became greedy for gourd chicken again.

"Okay, I'll eat when I get back." Yinzhen coaxed him and fed him, so that he could fill his stomach anyway.

After dinner, the three brothers rested for a while, and sat on the bed after a simple wash.

"Brother Ten read to me~"

Probably Yinzhen had already made it clear that he could not go back until he turned into a dragon, but the little guy didn't make a fuss about going back tonight, but said with a book in his arms.

Yin'e looked at the book in his hand and waved: "Brother Ten doesn't know how to read this book, let your Brother Ninth read it to you."

"Brother Nine~"

The little guy immediately turned around with the book in his arms and called another brother.

Yinzhen took the book in his hand, and with a good memory, he recognized it from the cover. It was the book "Robinson Crusoe" highly recommended by Brooke during the day, and it was said that it was a writer named Defoe that he particularly liked. The latest book.
