[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

The Imperial Palace Museum is at the peak time of the year for tourism.

Because of children’s summer vacation, graduate school trips, family outings and other reasons, there are countless people who come here. For those who come to the imperial capital for the first time, no matter how many times they complain in their hearts, “What’s wrong with the Forbidden City?” In the end, most of them still come here.

In recent years, due to the vigorous development of Internet self-media, this ancient palace has also kept up with the times, and successively launched the Forbidden City official blog, official Weibo, APP, and Taobao store.

The Palace Museum, taking advantage of the country's drive to promote Chinese traditional culture, has become an Internet celebrity.

In addition to the Forbidden City tape, jewelry, fans, stationery, etc., the Forbidden City also has a special existence that maxed out the Internet.

The cat of the Forbidden City.

Among the glazed tiles and red brick walls, tourists can occasionally see these little creatures strolling leisurely in a glimpse.They are either stray cats outside, or descendants of imperial cats whose ancestors lived in this palace.

In short, the end result is that they have become the last corrupt bureaucrats of the country's inheritance system - the Forbidden City rat catchers.

The kind that eats imperial food.

Many cat lovers are very curious about these cat owners who haunted the most noble places in China. After all, no one dares to say that they are the masters of the Forbidden City. Only cats shuttle between each palace wantonly. They dare to go to the roof Dare to tease the fish in the pond in the imperial garden, dare to pat the fruit of the imperial tree, dare to leave a plum blossom mark at the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony covered in pure white snow, and lie on the stone lion to bask in the sun fearlessly.Although the cats couldn't speak, all of these wanton attitudes were saying - we are the masters here.

During those days of rest in the Forbidden City, the Forbidden City without tourists has become a place for cats to run. The staff understands the hobbies of young fans and they have picked up the telephoto lens to take pictures of cats. .

Today, Guan Bojun suddenly posted a picture, @宫宫室园: Today, the editor found a kitten that I hadn’t seen before, and it seemed to be seriously learning how to become a qualified Forbidden City cat.

The accompanying picture shows a 5- to 6-month-old tortoiseshell cat sitting upright with a serious face observing how another three-colored cat is licking leisurely.The official blog took several pictures, and saw Sanhua finish licking her paws, licking her calves, and washing her face after licking her calves. In each picture, the little tortoiseshell had a serious expression, her eyes widened, and her little head looked at it from various angles Looking at the three-colored cat, as if he wanted to record this scene in his mind.Don't be too funny when you are serious.

The comment area quickly piled up,

Hahahaha official blog, wake up, there are not many cats in the Forbidden City doing serious things at all.

Don't talk nonsense upstairs, every Forbidden City cat has the task of being cute and attracting customers!

Am I the only one who met the particularly indifferent Forbidden City Meow?Don't even touch it!

Upstairs, you may have encountered temporary workers!Look for the cats in the Forbidden City, don't be tricked by the snack workers!

...Well, I know there must be a typo upstairs, but I always feel that the snack worker seems to be right.

Hahahahaha snack worker hahahaha! !

Soon the comment section of the official blog was distorted, and they didn't know that the joke that the official blog's mother made was actually a crooked one.

The little tortoiseshell in the photo is indeed learning how to be a cat.

Because he was not a cat.

The tortoiseshell kitten found that the junior flower had turned over comfortably after licking its fur and was about to go to sleep. It suddenly felt that it was time to find the next one.

There seems to be nothing more to learn from this one.

The kitten was shaking its beard as it shuttled between the courtyards and corridors. His original name was Xia Anran. He had just graduated from university. Before he could decide whether to continue his studies or work, he suddenly turned into a milk cat.

A cuddled kitten.

The one holding it should be a girl, uh, because she's holding it to her chest.Before Xia Anran could react, she was shy and let it go.

There is delicious cat food and drinking water in front of it, and the girl also poured some canned kittens for it.

The unsuspecting little summer cat swallowed cat beans instinctively. Later, it learned that the girl who picked it up was a staff member of the Palace Museum. That day, it huddled in a small black ball at the north gate of the museum early in the morning. The corner was trembling, and the girl who came to work had a moment of kindness, picked it up, and placed it in the place where the staff fed the cats.

This is the Forbidden City!The little summer cat, who suddenly ran thousands of miles away from S city where he was studying, crossed the side corner of the palace wall with small steps.He now thinks back to the time when he stared dumbfounded at the trash can with the words "Forbidden City Museum" and the shock when he heard the tourists chatting, and he feels that he must have been scared stupid at that time.

Who is not stupid, he didn't do anything, he just fell asleep, and when he woke up, his diploma and people were gone, and he turned into a cat.

The sun doesn't shine here, and the floor tiles are still cool.

The inexperienced summer cat once put its paws on a stone brick at noon in midsummer, and immediately let out a sharp meow, which caused pain in the pads for many days.

Thinking about it makes me shudder.

He trotted, through the shade of the trees, and ran to the West Sixth Palace area, where there were very few people in the afternoon, because most first-time tourists must go to the East Sixth Palace to visit the Treasure Hall and the Clock Hall, relatively speaking.People who come to West Sixth are usually fans of court dramas, and they want to see what the place where those ladies live is like.

But Jiao Didi's girls will definitely be weakened at noon. The mouse catchers of the Forbidden City are usually very clever at this time and hide in the West Sixth Palace, where they can sleep comfortably in the shade.

It has been more than two months since Little Xiamao became a cat, and he has also changed from a cute little milk cat to... a vicious kitten.

After struggling for a month, struggling with ideas for a month, and thinking about who I am, where I am, and what I should do next with a cat's not too big brain capacity, Xia Anran felt that even if it became Cats, don't give up hope either!The most urgent thing is to live well, as long as you live long, there will always be a way.

After all, this is the Forbidden City and the imperial capital.The place where the dragon energy gathers may be, maybe he will meet a powerful person who can guide him in the maze and visit the Forbidden City.

So Xiaoxia Mao is learning how to become a popular cat every day. Only by becoming a popular cat can he approach Da Neng!

To be honest, although she has never raised a cat, Xia Anran feels that she can still figure out how to make a cat with her human thinking.

For example, he has now learned how to lick his fur, how to use cat litter, and how to roll his tongue to drink water-don't laugh, these are very serious issues.

It's just that he still can't accept his own ass licking at present, every time after going to the toilet, he always rushes to the stagnant water to wash his butt hastily.

Now he is learning how to be a star cat.

"How to make a cute cat?" The big cat, who was dozing in the shade, was confused by the question that the junior ran over to ask. It turned over on the spot and waved its paw, very confused "Why?" We're trying to please... oh, you're doing it for the snacks, aren't you?"

The big cat sat up, showing a comprehension expression, and looked up and down the tortoiseshell kitten, black and yellow, like the mottled shadow of the sun through the leaves, the kitten that has not completely changed its lanugo hair The fur looks long and fluffy, and although it is not a conventional attractive color, it looks good to the cat's eyes.

It tilted its head and thought about it seriously, and said to the junior cat, "Your fur doesn't look very clean...Humans...well, maybe they hesitated before touching you."

Xiaoxiamao was a little anxious immediately, "I'm not dirty, I lick my fur every day..." This is a matter of personal hygiene, so it must be made clear!

The big cat gave him a blank look... I don’t know how to use the cat’s eyes to roll its eyes. It hates iron and steel. "Stupid human beings judge whether they are clean or not by the color of their fur. For example, when they see a white cat, they feel Clean, gray cats feel dirty when they see them, they are not like our cats, they are fussy."

……oh.Xia Anran touched her nose with her paws in embarrassment, and licked it habitually, "Then, what should I do?" If humans look dirty, he, he will definitely not be able to be a star cat. .

"Well... When I wake up, I will teach you a trick." The big cat yawned big. "Go to sleep for a while, it's time for cats to rest."

Impressed by the big yawn, Xia Anran also felt a little sleepy inexplicably. He stepped on his paws alternately, but finally failed to overcome his instincts, and fell asleep on the cool tiles.

The hot summer wind blows through the hall, bringing the cicada's cry in the distance. Far, far away, there seems to be the sound of human laughter.

The tortoiseshell cat flicked its ears, turned over and slept more soundly.

...It turned out that he was woken up by the big cat. The two cats took a nap, and it was already westward when they woke up.

Now the Palace Museum adopts daylight saving time, and the closing time is later than winter time. Many tourists avoid visiting when the sun is strongest and the most people are there, so there are more people now.

The big cat signaled Xia Anran to follow, and they strolled all the way to the central axis of the Forbidden City, then the big cat asked him to wait where he was, and walked slowly to the steps of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

The tourists who noticed the two cats screamed a little, and saw the big cat walking on catwalks, flicking its tail, walking slowly and gracefully, following the screams, the little ones tilted his head.

The girl who was stared at by it seemed very excited. She squatted down and made a "tsk tsk tsk" sound while calling "Mimi, Mimi, come on Mimi~"

The big cat looked a little indifferent. It flicked its tail. Just when everyone thought it would run away, it walked up to the girl and sat down. Putting his hands together, Xiaoxiao stroked the big cat's forehead, and seeing that it didn't object, he patted along the back of the big cat, and skillfully rubbed the base of the cat's ears.

It looks very comfortable...

Xia Anran looked at the big cat from a distance and narrowed her eyes, thinking about it, but found that the big cat glanced over with sharp eyes.

It seems to be saying [learn from my mother. 】

Then it fell down with a clatter, with its two small front paws tucked in front of its chest, revealing its fluffy little belly. The little fat meat created a small wave the moment it fell to the ground, and it was still twisting and shaking Tighten her waist to make her fur look softer.

Immediately, the girl who was taking pictures next to her with a calm expression couldn't hold back, and reached out to touch the cat's soft belly.

Tortoiseshell cats have grown their mouths and have been taught perhaps the most important lesson in cat life by their predecessors.

"Have you learned?" The big cat, which has been slapped so well, shook its fur, and walked towards the tortoiseshell kitten amidst the girls' reluctance, "That's it, it's very simple, spot a person, lie down and go good."

"This, is that so..." Little Xiamao hesitated, "Learn, learned."

"Tsk," the big cat seemed very dissatisfied with it, as if it was looking at a fool who couldn't even catch a mouse, the more it thought about it, the more worried it became, and it patted the kitten on the back, "Go and test it for me." .”

Xia Anran hesitated for a while, thinking that he should be able to do it, he stepped forward and walked out. While he was hesitating, the girl just now had already walked away. He shook his head left and right, and saw a pair of long legs in suit pants. Walking here, I didn't care what the person looked like, ran over and lay down on the ground, just like the big cat just now, turned out its belly, curled up its fur claws, and looked up at it with small eyes Long legs, small eyes that say "Come on, come and touch me~"

...Xia Anran, who has been a cat for two months, obviously forgot that besides being cute, there is another word for his behavior——Pengci.

The author has something to say: Many people have come to tell me that tortoiseshell cats are female cats. First of all, the protagonist is not a real cat!He is a monster!It’s just the appearance of a tortoiseshell cat, and the tortoiseshell cat has a coat color, which is actually a rural cat. It is true that most of them are female cats like the Sanhua cat. of.

Read it with me: the protagonist is a little monster who looks like a tortoiseshell cat!

It's not a real cat!
