Aotian the domesticated miniature dragon

Lu Qianshan patted his head affectionately, feeling that this little guy was not easy.Although his life was not easy as a beggar before, he has never been betrayed by those around him, let alone hunted down... Well, there are, but it's all for the sake of the magic weapon.

"Let's not talk about that." Zhong Yulin was quite optimistic, "Master Lu, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

Excitedly, he stood up and turned around twice, "I want to eat with chopsticks and a big bowl!"

Lu Qianshan: ...

It can be seen that the child who has been eating pilaf before has caused a lot of shadow, but now he is so excited to be able to use chopsticks and a big bowl.

Before Zhou Shi left, he cooked porridge and warmed it in a jar.They brought a lot of candy and hair cakes this time, and they probably won't be back until after noon, so they let Lu Qianshan eat at home by himself.

Lu Qianshan took the porridge to his small courtyard, put it on the small stove next to the big stove and continued to heat it, then went to the big vat in the courtyard and brought back a basin of frozen buns, poured water into the pot, put the steamer on and started steaming steamed stuffed bun.

Zhong Yulin drank two big bowls of sweet potato porridge with stick stubble, and ate five or six big buns, and finally put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand with satisfaction.He stroked his belly contentedly, and said, "Master Lu, how long can I last like this?"

Lu Qianshan shook his head and said, "I don't know, after all, this is indeed the first time I've dealt with this kind of charm."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Zhong Yulin's body glowed with white light, his eyes shrunk, and the cotton robe fell to the ground without support.

Lu Qianshan picked up the cotton robe, and saw the little thing lying on the floor and hitting the ground angrily.

"Okay, okay, you can still grow bigger in the future, don't worry." He held back a smile, picked up the little thing, wiped it with a clean handkerchief, and then put on his clothes.

Zhong Yulin lay on the kang with a numb expression, and finally sighed: "At least I can have a normal meal, and I am content." What if I am not satisfied?I just hope that he won't be this big and small all his life, he can't bear it.

The jade buttons on the kang that were used to set up the array were broken into powder, Lu Qianshan cleaned them up with a broom, and felt a little distressed to see the little thing looking so unlovable.

"How about I show you a way?"

Zhong Yulin looked up at him, "What is the way?"

Lu Qianshan thought for a while and said, "See if I can let my parents know about your existence, so that at least you can be properly taken care of. You know, I'm not good at taking care of children, especially you are so young. "

Zhong Yulin said frustratedly: "I'm not a child anymore, besides, can you be sure that your parents won't treat me as a monster?" After he finished speaking, he paused and said, "Do you know? I am the head of the four most beautiful men in Zhao Kingdom Woolen cloth."

Lu Qianshan said calmly.

Zhong Yulin finally regained his energy. He sat up awkwardly, leaned against the kang cabinet, and continued, "The four most beautiful men in Zhao Kingdom, you saw my real face just now, how is it? Isn't it very handsome? All the girls and boys who have seen me don't like me, you..."

Lu Qianshan had a headache, and quickly waved his hand to stop the other party's narcissism, "What four beauties? If you are not the prince, the name of this beautiful man can fall on you? Little thing, others brag about you because of your status, you brag about it yourself I'm just shameless."

"Presumptuous, where am I shameless? I'm just telling you a fact!" Zhong Yulin finished talking with his neck straightened, then became depressed again, and muttered: "Forget it, how many men have you met? Of course I don't know what Called the Four Great Beauties, I don't care about you."

After he finished speaking, he tried to stand up, walked unsteadily to his quilt, took off his heavy coat, stuffed himself into the quilt, and told the other party that he was unhappy, unhappy, and had to Need to be coaxed.

Lu Qianshan stroked the other party's exposed loose hair. The hair bands were all broken just now because they got bigger, and now the hair is messed up, looking pitiful.

"What's the use of the four beautiful men? Is it to keep you from being cursed or to keep you from being hunted down?" He spoke slowly, "It's important to look good, but there's no need to put this Treat such things as your own capital, after all, a good-looking face is given by your parents, and your own things are the most important, isn't it?"

The little thing under the blanket moved, but remained silent.

Lu Qianshan really didn't know how to coax people. Seeing that the little thing didn't respond, he stopped coaxing at all, and continued to read the script.

After a long time, Zhong Yulin poked his head out, blinked his big eyes, and said softly: "Well, Mr. Lu, can you teach me the method of cultivation?"

Lu Qianshan said casually, "What?"

"I also want to practice, and I want to become stronger. Even if I can't be as powerful as Mr. Lu, I can still protect myself." The voice of the little thing is very firm, "Many people want to sit in that position, but only I am more suitable , That's why someone wants to take my luck. I can't retreat, because as long as I retreat, I will definitely die. I want to protect myself and the people I want to protect, so, Mr. Lu..."

"Okay," Lu Qianshan continued to flip through the storybook, "it's no problem to teach you some basic and introductory exercises. As for whether you can go further, it depends on yourself." Qi, it should be easier to practice.If you have the skill of being a dragon, the road to cultivation will be smoother.He had thought about teaching this little thing some cultivation techniques before, but thinking about his attitude towards outsiders before, that was all.

It's just that he didn't expect him to bring it up by himself today, which saved him a lot of tongue.

"Master!" The little thing happily crawled out of bed and was about to kowtow to Lu Qianshan.

"Wait a minute," Lu Qianshan closed the scripture book in his hand, "I can teach you, but don't call me a master." He doesn't want to be a master, after all, he plans to... so what is good at absorbing dragon energy, call him a master. What's it like?

Zhong Yulin was stunned, "Don't you call me master?"

Lu Qianshan nodded and said: "It's just some basic things, so you can teach it after you teach it. And it's not right for me to accept you as an apprentice, so let's forget it."

"But..." Zhong Yulin lowered his head, with a little reconciliation in his eyes.He always felt that Lu Qianshan was indifferent to him. Sometimes his attitude was very good, and sometimes he was very cold, which made him at a loss as to what to do.

Lu Qianshan looked at him firmly, and said, "Do you think that if you don't recognize me as a teacher, I won't teach you everything?"

"No!" Zhong Yulin raised his head, looked at him with big watery eyes, and said loudly, "I was afraid that you would leave me in the future! The only person I can trust now, apart from my father, queen and queen, is you , if you leave me in the end, what should I do?"

Lu Qianshan laughed and said, "What kind of frustrating words are these? Maybe you left earlier than me." He is a person who wants to ascend to the fairy gate, and he can spend at most a hundred years with this little dragon cub. After a hundred years, little dragon cub To transform into a dragon, he still has to continue to practice.

Xiaolong Zai'er's frustration became more obvious, he murmured: "That's right, I'm still older than you, if I practice hard, can you spend more time with me?"

Lu Qianshan said seriously: "You said just now that the position belongs to you, but have you ever thought about how exhausting it is to govern a country? At that time, would you still have time to practice? I can only teach you the basic skills of cultivation. It's just to strengthen your body and strengthen your spirit. Besides, you have your way, and I have mine. I will stay with you as long as I can, but you are the future king, king The road is lonely."

Zhong Yulin tightly grasped the quilt under him, bit his lips hard, and said, "Then what if I marry you? Will you stay with me forever after I marry you?"

Lu Qianshan seemed to have heard a big joke, so he laughed out loud, "Not to mention whether I want to marry or not, now my family is just a farmer in the countryside, and I am a little brother who has been divorced, so even if you marry me, Where can you put me? If you want, what about others? Bai... No, I should call you the third prince. Third prince, it is good to have dreams, but you must also know that dreams are just dreams. If you want to marry me, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than you getting into that position."

Zhong Yulin was so angry at being laughed at, he poked his neck and said, "No matter how difficult it is, I will do it!"

Lu Qianshan was about to burst into tears, he waved his hands and said, "Okay, you can do it, but little thing, oh, third prince, you'd better get yourself settled first, and you'll marry me even if you're so small, haha Hahahaha... Marry me, no, I'll laugh for a while."

He has never thought about getting married, let alone marrying, he has practiced for thousands of years before, and he has never thought about it.At that time, he was focused on cultivating immortals, and his mind was full of not to suffer anymore. He wanted to become stronger, as powerful as the third master, and then ascend to the fairy world and live a comfortable life.But now, now that someone actually said that they wanted to marry him, it was really laughable.

Zhong Yulin got angry, he picked up his little pillow and threw it on the kang, "Stop laughing, what's so funny? I just want you to accompany me! You don't want to be my master, and you don't want to be me My concubine, you, how do you want to accompany me? No, you didn't even think about accompanying me, I was overthinking."

He said this, full of grievances.It seems that people have become smaller and have less control, and big and big teardrops are falling down, and they can't be wiped clean.

"Okay, okay, don't cry." Lu Qianshan tried his best not to laugh, and wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

Zhong Yulin pushed his hand away, "Presumptuous, this is for wiping your body just now!"

"You are so hypocritical," Lu Qianshan sighed, "It's only a hundred years, I will be with you. But you should give up on marrying me. I can't marry. I told you before that I will never marry you in this life." impossible."

Zhong Yulin snorted, took out a clean handkerchief from under the quilt, wiped his face, tears and nose.

Lu Qianshan went to wash the veil again, wiped the little thing's face well, and said, "You said that you want to learn cultivation from me, and I can teach you today, you have to remember clearly."

Zhong Yulin hiccupped, his little face flushed, "Got it."

Lu Qianshan taught him the formula, and taught him how to meditate.It's a pity that the current little dragon's cub's fat legs like a lotus root can't be crossed up, sitting there waddling like a fat penguin, it's very interesting to watch.

With a stern face, Zhong Yulin let himself sit on the kang cabinet with his back, put his fat feet together, put his hands on his knees, and silently recited the formula Lu Qianshan taught him.The formula was a bit difficult, but he memorized it after listening to it twice.After reciting silently for more than a dozen times, he seemed to really feel that something in his body gathered in the dantian, and then slowly transported from the dantian to the limbs, and his whole body became warm.

Lu Qianshan looked at him, and said to himself that he really is a person with dragon spirit, and he has mastered the skills of cultivation so quickly.Looking at the aura around him again, strands of strands condensed into thin threads, slowly surrounding Xiaolong Zai'er, slowly enveloping him.

He nodded, and sat on the kang himself, continuing to exercise his body.

When he first entered this body, the body deity was already dead.However, he couldn't see the soul of the deity when he summoned the soul later, probably because the soul couldn't wait to reincarnate and get rid of everything now.This is a good thing, now he just needs to bring this family up in a down-to-earth manner, and he doesn't need to worry about anything else.

But just after practicing for a while, voices came from outside the gate.

Lu Qianshan opened his eyes, straightened his clothes, looked at Zhong Yulin who was still practicing, thought about it for a while, and got off the kang to welcome him out.He has already figured out how to let Zhong Yulin pass a clear path in front of Zhou Shi and Lu Guangming, so that he can better reveal some of his thoughts to Zhou Shi and them.Now it’s not a problem to always say that I have become enlightened. Too much of everything is not good after all, and I need some excuses to make it.

"Shanshan," seeing the second son who became caring, Zhou's originally frowning brows suddenly loosened and a smile appeared on his face.She walked over quickly, "Come into the house quickly, don't stand in the yard when it's cold, it's not money if you make money today, go into the house and count the money with your bridesmaid."

Behind Zeng Hongmei and Lu Qianfan were carrying the steamer, while Lu Qianyou and Lu Qianhai were carrying the stove, with smiles on their faces, they walked quickly to the kitchen.

Holding Zhou's arm, Lu Qianshan led him into the house, and said, "Mother, hot water has been burning in my room, I just brought a pot over, quickly drink some hot water to relieve the cold."

"Got it, mother will drink it now." She unloaded the pannier behind her and slammed it on the bed, "Look, I earned so many copper coins today, and there are still some silver coins."

Lu Qianshan poured her a cup of hot water and put it in Mrs. Zhou's hands for her to warm her hands, then carried the basket to the main room outside, and walked back, "Mother, did something bad happen outside?" He didn't miss Zhou's expression when he just entered the door.

Zhou's smiling face suddenly froze, and then he sighed leisurely, and said: "What else could be the reason? I met someone from their family in the town. Everyone is not ashamed, instructing the children to come to our booth It's embarrassing to see someone begging for food."

"Their family?" Lu Qianshan quickly ran through the children in that family in his mind, "Is it Lu Guanghui's family?"

Zhou said: "And your old aunt, bah! What about your old aunt, and their old daughter, a 14-year-old girl, who speaks with a nose or an eye, if it's not because of her age, I really want to slap it. Forget it, what are they doing? Quick, count with mother."

Mrs. Zhou stood up and shouted out of the window, "Hongmei? Youyou Xiaohai, take Yuner Chengcheng and hurry into the house. There is hot water in the house."

Zeng Hongmei smiled and said, and took her younger siblings into the house after a while, first poured hot water for the two little ones for them to drink, and then drank it herself, "Mother, hurry up and count the money, by the way, we What about the things you bought? And the Spring Festival couplets, have you brought them all in?"

Lu Qianyun and Lu Qiancheng said in unison that they brought it in and put it in the main room.

Zeng Hongmei smiled again: "Mother, where are the cloves I bought for Shanshan? Hurry up and wear them for Shanshan."

Lu Qianshan's scalp was numb, "What? Did you buy me cloves?" The so-called cloves are small earrings or studs.His body has pierced ears, and he should have worn them before, but he was taken over by the Lu Zhang family to control the financial power, and he didn't wear them after he was suspended.

Mrs. Zhou took out a small box from her bosom, and when she opened it was a pair of silver cloves, "You always say you don't want this or that, but it's the Chinese New Year, you can't still be naked and don't wear anything, can you? Come, mother, put it on for you. It’s just a pair of silver cloves, and it’s not worth a lot of money. Besides, your sister-in-law and your sisters have them, why can’t you have them?”

Seeing Zhou's happy smile, Lu Qianshan couldn't refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and let them put on the pair of small earrings.This earring is just a silver ring with a flower bud-like pendant, and when you shake your head, the inside of the flower bud is still jingling, it turns out to be a bell.

Zeng Hongmei said loudly: "It looks good. I said that Shan Shan Dai is a good-looking pair. Shan Shan likes the plain ones, but he doesn't like those big flowers."

Mrs. Zhou looked at Lu Qianshan carefully, and smiled all over her face, "It's pretty, it's really pretty. My family, Shanshan, is just beautiful, and he's the prettiest person in our family."

Lu Qianshan's face became tense from the laughter, and he quickly turned their attention to counting the money and told them not to stare at his ears.He hadn't worn anything in his ears for so many years, and now he could hear a thin bumping sound when he shook his head, which made him feel so uncomfortable to death.

"Didn't our family leave a lot of grain at the time? It was kept according to the time when the family was there. Your father distributed all the extra wheat and made several baskets of sugar. I thought it would not be sold. Who knew that when I went today, all the hula la were sold out. But the cakes were not sold out, and there was still half a drawer of stick noodles left. But we ate it for lunch, so it was not wasted." Mrs. Zhou counted them one by one Copper coins, count a hundred, string them up and put them aside.

Zeng Hongmei also smiled and said: "No, there are not many sugar sellers in our town, and those peddlers also sell sugar from other places. It is not as good as our own. Thanks to the Stove Lord, there will be more sugar buyers. Mother also invited the new Stove Lord and the God of Wealth, and bought a pig's head. After sending the Stove Lord, we will stew the pig's head and eat it."

Counting the broken silver this time, they sold more than ten taels of silver. No wonder Mrs. Zhou had to use a basket to carry the copper plates back. This basket full of copper plates was filled with dozens of strings of one hundred and one strings.That's not even counting the money spent on shopping.

Mrs. Zhou was stunned, touched the pile of copper plates and said, "This is much more than what your father and brother earned when they went out to work. With this money, we will sell one of our pigs this year, and we will eat the other if we kill the other." Live a year that eats meat every day!" No wonder she was stunned, after all, a pig can only be sold for six or seven taels of silver, and today it earns more than a pig!

Lu Qianshan smiled and said, "That's because there are a lot of people buying candy in today's small year. I'm afraid there won't be so many people in the future. When the weather gets hotter, most of the candy won't be able to hold on, and the business won't be easy."

Mrs. Zhou was not discouraged, and said: "That's because we made it late this year. We will do it early next year, and we are researching some new tricks. Today, many people asked us how to make those candies. Then I can say?"

Lu Qianshan helped pack all the money, and said, "Isn't it? Mother is tired too, hurry up and rest, where is my father?"

Only then did Mrs. Zhou think of her husband, and said: "Your father went to soak dates, bought yellow rice noodles and Jiangmi noodles today, and made rice cakes for dinner tonight."

When the two little ones heard the rice cake, they couldn't help cheering.

The custom here is to wrap rice cakes before the year, that is, sticky cakes.Knead the glutinous rice noodles into the shape of steamed buns, stick a few dates on them, and then put them in a pot to steam.The steamed rice cake is fragrant, sweet and sticky, which means that every year is high, and the coming year will be sweet, and it can also stick to good luck.And the rice cake is not only delicious when steamed, but also more delicious when it is cooled and sliced ​​and fried.

In previous years, when Mrs. Lu and Zhang were around, rice cakes made with rice noodles would be eaten at their home, or brought as gifts to their daughter's home.They can't even get a few cheap yellow rice noodles at home.Zhou decided to make more jelly this year, eat whatever you want, and eat as much as you want!

Lu Qianshan asked Mrs. Zhou to rest, and went to the kitchen to see Lu Guangming and Lu Qianfan who were meeting, and then dragged Zeng Hongmei to the next room.

"I knew you had to come and ask me." Zeng Hongmei sighed, "What did Mother tell you?"

Lu Qianshan said: "Mother just said that she met a child from their family and came to the stall to beg for food."

Zeng Hongmei said: "My mother has a good heart and a soft heart. Where did their family come to beg for food? They are obviously here to make trouble. The fourth child of the family, Yuan Bao, you know, is buried. When we lived in our house , my mother always helped to wash and sew clothes and so on. Now that they are gone, his mother is too lazy, and the child is even more let down. I think it is also the bad idea of ​​the old girl, let the child come to our booth, Touch what you see. His hands are dirty, can he sell them after touching them? So he put them all on. Then Lu Xiuxiu said that my mother sent her to beg for food, so she just begged for a large bag of sugar and rice cakes and left. "

Lu Qianshan asked, "Sister-in-law just watch?"

Zeng Hongmei chuckled, "How can I? I scolded them, otherwise, seeing that old girl's attitude, I wish I could take all our money baskets away. It's really shameless. But my mother dragged me, I didn't dare Cursed hard."

Lu Qianshan hummed, and asked again: "How did you come back?"

Zeng Hongmei said: "Uncle Jin Zhu sent us back. They sold all the candy they made. They came back early and waited for us. It was also because Uncle Jin Zhu was there. When we left, the fourth child of the family and Lu Xiuxiu followed. I guess I still want to play tricks, but see how far Uncle Jin Zhu is standing there."

Lu Qianshan said: "That's good, anyway, we didn't go out a year ago, let them be greedy. It's just a pity for the food."

"That's right, feeding dogs is better than feeding them." Seeing that Lu Qianshan had nothing to ask, Zeng Hongmei went to help her man with work.

Lu Qianshan thought for a while, then went to the east room again.Mrs. Zhou didn't sleep, but just leaned on the kang to eat a few small fruits. The fruit was Balixiang sent by Wang Jinzhu's family. She usually kept it in the kang cabinet, and when the door was opened, she could smell the strong fruity fragrance.

"Mother, you call Shang Dad, I have something to tell you." He stroked Lu Qianyun's braid, "It's very important."
