Beyond Gold and Jade [Rebirth]

Funing Courtyard has always been peaceful, with only a few girls chatting and laughing at most, but today it is noisy.

Ye Chongjin was sitting on the Arhat bed, holding a trembling and quacking parrot in his arms, and a cute little white tiger lying on his feet, tilting his furry head and "owling" in a milky voice. Ye Chongjin seemed to be I saw a child begging for food acting like a baby with him, and his well-behaved appearance was hard to refuse.

The child squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the stupid bird in his arms. The parrot trembled all over, flapped its wings and called: "Good luck, big luck!!"

Nanny An presented today's soup, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "This parrot is a smart bird, and knows how to say auspicious words to please people."

Ye Chongjin was speechless, because this stupid bird could only say this.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the darkness outside the door, but it was Xia He and a few maids who led the charge, followed by a group of servants and servants. He probably heard that the young master got a rare white tiger, and he was curious and afraid, so he hid behind the door. People who peek outside and put it in other yards don't have the guts, and the people in his yard are unruly and courageous.

Ye Chongjin put the little parrot in his arms into the birdcage, and asked Mammy to hang it on a high place, so as not to let the little tiger eat it.He said to the outside: "Come in, this tiger doesn't bite."

Xia He smiled and walked in first, followed by a few maids. Others did not dare to enter the house, so they just looked around at the door.

"Master, where do you think His Highness found this little white tiger with such a beautiful fur?"

Ye Chongjin really knew this.Last year, he happened to be taken by Gu Chen to join in the hunt in the Western Mountains. On the last day of the hunt, the mighty general Meng Tingwei hunted an adult tiger deep in the forest and dedicated it to the emperor.Because it was a rare white tiger, Emperor Qingzong didn't let people kill the tiger for its skin, but brought it back to the palace to raise. He never thought that a few months later, the white tiger would give birth to an heir, and it was this little guy in front of him.

An ordinary female tiger can give birth to three to five cubs in one litter, but this white tiger only gave birth to one white tiger cub, which is also white with black lines embedded in its fur. Wanting it, even His Royal Highness would rarely praise this young tiger for its cleverness.

Finally, Emperor Qingzong rewarded it to the prince.

After listening to him finish speaking, Xia He suddenly realized: "Your Highness asked the emperor for it, and he definitely wanted to give it to the little master."

Ye Chongjin's eyes flickered slightly, and he bent down to caress the little guy's fur. Obviously, Gu Chen took good care of it. The fur is not as rough as a wild tiger, but smooth and warm. You can see the pink tongue when you open your mouth. There are also snow-white fangs and sharp claws that have been trimmed clean. From the outside, they are indeed harmless.

The little white tiger stared at a pair of bright yellow round eyes, and rubbed against his palm, very well-behaved, and I don't know what method Gu Chen used, this little thing just met him for the first time, so it got close like this.

He patted the little guy's head and said with a smile: "This is not like a tiger, it's more coquettish than a cat."

Recalling last year in the Xishan paddock, the majestic adult white tiger was trapped in a seven-foot-high iron cage. Ye Chongjin and Gu Chen sat side by side on the horse, watching from a distance. It was the first time he saw such a beautiful tiger. Taking advantage of Gu Chen's inattention, he couldn't help but secretly ran to touch it, but just as he touched the tiger's butt, he was flicked by the injured white tiger's tail.

Although it didn't hurt, he was terribly frightened. When Gu Chen saw it, he rarely scolded him loudly. At that time, he was afraid and wronged, and shouted angrily: "Ah Jin just likes big tigers, and he would be willing to be eaten by them." , I don’t want you to worry about it.”

Thinking of the stunned look on that man's face, Ye Chongjin couldn't help but curl his lips, perhaps, there was still some change.

He poured some water into his palm, and stretched it out in front of the little guy. The little white tiger stretched out his pale pink tongue and licked it. Its tongue coating was rough and warm, and it felt numb and itchy when licked on the palm, which was more of a novelty.

Mother An turned pale with shock, and said repeatedly: "Little master, you can't do it, you absolutely can't do it, this is a tiger, and it will bite people when it goes crazy..." Although this little white tiger is small, if it stands up, it can She's about the same height as her little master, so it's scary to look at.

Ye Chongjin said indifferently, "It's fine." Since the man dared to send him here, he must have been well trained.

Xia He saw it and wanted to touch it. As soon as he got close to the little white tiger, the little guy suddenly raised his defensive posture, bared his teeth, and showed a fierce look in his eyes. Just when everyone thought that the little tiger would also show its power, it "wow!" With a sound, he hid in the arms of the child.

Ye Chongjin reeled from being hit by it and sat on the ground.

"..."

There were laughter inside and outside the house, saying that their little master had a big cat, and the cat would stretch out its paws to scratch a few times when it was anxious, but this little thing would only crawl into the owner's arms when it was frightened.

Ye Chongjin was deeply convinced.

Someone urged: "Little master, give this big cat a name. By the way, there is also that parrot. Since it is going to be raised, it should have a name."

Ye Chongjin thought for a while, the parrot was okay, Ye Yunzhe had already given it to him, so it was up to him to deal with it, but the little white tiger was not easy to deal with, it was more than half a year old, there must be someone in the palace to train it, Maybe it already has a name, so I have to ask Gu Chen before making a decision.

"The parrot is called Xiaojili."

Xia He asked: "Then what about this little white tiger?"

Ye Chongjin said: "I haven't thought of this yet, I'll think about it again."

Seeing that the soup was getting cold, Madam An dispersed the onlookers and served the children to drink the medicine.She has taken care of Ye Chongjin for several years, and she can tell at a glance if she has something on her mind.

Ye Chongjin finished the medicine, wiped her lips with a handkerchief, and said, "Nurse, if you have anything to say, just say it, why can't Ah Jin not listen?"

Mother An blessed the blessing, and said: "The old slave knows that the young master has always had his own ideas, so there is no need for others to be nagging, but there are some things that I feel uncomfortable if I don't say them out. Once. The parrot given by Master Yunzhe is actually out of bounds. In our scholarly family, it is not a good thing. Since the old man doesn't pursue it, we don't care about it for the time being. But the tiger given by His Royal Highness... At the foot of Guanhuang City, most of the dandies, no matter how incompetent, are walking birds and amusing dogs and crickets, but I have never seen a tiger raising, if it spreads in the future, I am afraid it will not be well-known.”

Ye Chongjin already knew what she was going to say. Nanny An is an old man in An Taishi's mansion. She has spent most of her life in the back mansion. She is the most respectful of rules. If she is not persuaded, she will probably talk about it endlessly in the future.

The child rubbed the little white tiger's head, raised his eyes, and said innocently: "But didn't the emperor also raise a big tiger?"

Nanny An choked and couldn't say a word.If she said that raising tigers is not a proper job, wouldn't she be scolding the current emperor as well.
