Regent sucks cats daily

Early the next morning, Xiao Jumao woke up under the warm blanket, seeing that Tan Shiguan was not there, he shook his hair and jumped out of bed.

Yunxiao Villa can be regarded as one of the best martial arts sects in Jiangling City. As the front of the Tan family, this house is naturally not much worse, at least in Xiao Jumao's eyes, it is much better than Dingguo Duke's Mansion.He was thinking about whether to repair Dingguo's mansion, or rebuild a house and give it to Tan Shiguan.

This idea only flashed in his mind, but he denied it. Dingguo's mansion is a bit broken, but he likes it very much. What's more, from now on, Tan Shiguan will live in Wende Palace, Guan Zhaizi Does it look good?

When Xiao Jumao stepped out of the yard, he heard Ji Changxuan's hearty laughter. He looked up and saw a tall young man leading a thin Xiao Fan not far away, practicing sword.

"No, your posture is wrong, it should be like this." Ji Changxuan pointed out with a smile when he saw that Xiao Fan's movement of swinging the sword was flawed.

Xiao Fan's little face was full of excitement, even though he could not hold the sword firmly, he still enjoyed it.

Xiao Jumao watched from afar, suddenly his heart moved.

Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan... His surname is also Xiao.

If you start cultivating it from now on, with the intelligence of the Xiao family, in time, you will definitely be able to shoulder the important responsibilities of the Xiao family, and you don't have to spend the rest of your life in a daze in the cold and quiet Jingquan Palace.

But, is Xiao Fan willing?He has the right to choose his own life, even if he is his uncle, he can't interfere too much.Xiao Jumao thinks he can't do the things he doesn't like to a child.

"Maomao!" Seeing Xiao Jumao, Xiao Fan immediately called him, with a bright smile on his pretty face.

Xiao Jumao closed his eyes, he used to laugh like this when he was a child, but since his mother's concubine passed away, since he ascended the throne, how could he remember what it was like to laugh?Xiao Fan is very happy now, is it really going to drag him into the quagmire of power struggle?

Xiao Fan returned the sword to Ji Changxuan, walked over and squatted in front of Xiao Jumao, stretched out his hand to touch the hair on Xiao Jumao's back, Xiao Jumao conditioned reflex to dodge, but when he touched the expectation in his eyes, his heart softened.

Seeing that Xiao Jumao didn't reject him, Xiao Fan was very happy, he hugged Xiao Jumao, turned to face Ji Changxuan, "Brother Changxuan, show me your sword dance!"

Ji Changxuan nodded with a smile, waving his sword, his posture was as graceful as a swimming dragon, Xiao Fan looked at it, envy gradually emerged in his eyes.

Xiao Jumao saw it and sighed in his heart, that's all, we will talk about this matter later.

After Ji Changxuan danced the sword, he made the last move. Seeing Xiao Fan's admiring eyes, he was very happy, and then he heard a scolding from behind: "I have no momentum at all! What kind of sword are you practicing? You think you are embroidering?"

Tan Lie came striding over, with a gloomy face and red eyes, looking as if he was about to eat people, Ji Changxuan was really taken aback by him.

As long as the adoptive father got angry, he would not dare to speak at all. Who provoked the adoptive father this early in the morning?

Fortunately, Jin Lan arrived in time and comforted Tan Lie for a while before Tan Lie asked them to have breakfast together.

Xiao Jumao hadn't seen Tan Shiguan until now, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He struggled to jump off Xiao Fan's arms, but he didn't know where to look for it.

"Maomao, where are you going?" Xiao Fan ran to meet him.

Xiao Jumao came under Jin Lan's skirt, stretched out his paws to touch it, his big eyes were watery, and instantly captured Jin Lan, she was always smart, thinking of the stickiness between Xiao Jumao and Tan Shiguan last night , then understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Shi Guan is in the ancestral hall, I'll take you there."

Xiao Jumao immediately followed her footsteps.

In the Tan family's ancestral hall, Tan Shiguan straightened his back and knelt on the ground.He knew that he was sorry for the Tan family, but he didn't want to go against his will, so he could only atone for his sins as much as possible in this way.

Xiao Jumao followed Jin Lan in, and saw the tall but stern back of the man, kneeling alone in front of the memorial tablets, without a look on his face.

Xiao Jumao thought, he must be having a hard time.

Tan Shiguan heard footsteps, did not turn around, and only said: "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

Before Jin Lan could answer, Xiao Jumao came to him and looked up at him.

The cat walked too silently, and was covered by Jin Lan's footsteps, Tan Shiguan really didn't hear it.

"Yuanbao wanted to find you, so I brought it here, no wonder you dote on it so much." Jin Lan walked to his side and praised with a smile.

Tan Shiguan and Xiao Jumao looked at each other, their hearts moved slightly, and then said: "Go and have breakfast with elder brother and the others first, it won't be good if you are hungry."

Xiao Jumao lay beside him, took a look at him, without you feeding me, what else would I have breakfast?

Seeing this, Jin Lan said: "It seems that Yuan Bao is reluctant to part with you, and he is hungry with you. I will bring some food over later. It will be bad if you really starve."

"Thank you sister-in-law, you can just bring some to Yuan Bao, I don't need it." Tan Shiguan stretched out his hand and hugged Xiao Jumao into his arms, the ground was cold and couldn't be frozen.

Xiao Jumao shook his head at him, if you don't eat, I won't eat either, I will be with you.

Tan Shi observed his mind, and when his heart was moved, his heart ached.He understands that Xiao Jumao, as the king of a country, cannot immediately abandon the country of Xiao and stay with him forever. Apart from Xiao Fan, he is the only blood of the late emperor, and it took great difficulty to take over the power. It is too difficult for him to give up now. What's more, the birth of an heir is not a matter for the emperor alone, but a major event related to the entire Xiao Kingdom.

Just because of understanding, he can't extravagantly ask Xiao Jumao to give up the throne and starve in the ancestral hall with him, Tan Shiguan is already content.

Jin Lan sighed softly, "Shi Guan, your elder brother told me about you last night."

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law."

Jin Lan smiled softly, "You are not wrong, Shi Guan. In fact, it is Ariel and I who are unfilial. He did not take concubines for me, and did not continue the blood of the Tan family. He pushed this burden forcefully to the On you, he didn’t ask if you were willing, and even beat you. He didn’t do it if he could, and he forced you to do it when you couldn’t. In the final analysis, Ariel and I were too selfish.”

Before Tan Shiguan could respond, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Tan Lie strode in with red eyes, "Alan, why do you say that about yourself? It has nothing to do with you!"

Jin Lan didn't turn around, but just stood there quietly, and said in a gentle voice, "Why do you want to do things that you don't even want to do yourself? We have traveled all over the world before, what things haven't we seen? Long Yangzhi has seen a lot too , are you going to force Shi Guan to marry a girl? This is not only harming Shi Guan, but also harming an innocent girl. If you really want to leave blood for the Tan family, you might as well divorce me and marry another."

When Tan Lie heard this, his heart ached like a twist, and he immediately held Jin Lan in his arms, tremblingly said: "What nonsense are you talking about? You can tell me to do anything, just don't say such things."

Xiao Jumao: "..." Sister-in-law Jin Lan is the best.

It's not that Tan Lie doesn't understand these truths, it's just that he couldn't accept it for a while last night, that's why he beat Tan Shiguan. Although the sons and daughters of the world are informal, it's understandable to like men, but when he thinks that his future sister-in-law will be a man, he feels a little bit Not very comfortable.

Jin Lan left his embrace, a smile bloomed on Xiuya's face, "Okay, since you have figured it out, let's go have dinner together. Shi Guan, don't kneel."

Tan Lie is naturally what the daughter-in-law says, so she said angrily: "Get up and go eat, and since you said you like men, you must bring one back."

Xiao Jumao: "..." I am right in front of you.

Tan Shiguan stood up, "Thank you brother and sister-in-law for your understanding. I will introduce you when I have a chance."

"Huh!" Tan Lie's face was stinky, he snorted coldly, and flung his sleeves out of the room.

While eating, Tan Liehu made a face, "You haven't come back for more than ten years, Jiangling City has changed a lot, after dinner, I will ask Changxuan to take you out for a walk, Changxuan, you don't have to go today It's the training ground."

"Yes, foster father!"

This decision is exactly what Xiao Jumao wanted. They came to Jiangling City this time to thoroughly investigate Cai Li's case. The Cai Mansion is just south of Jiangling City.

After breakfast, Ji Changxuan happily led them out of Yunxiao Villa.Yunxiao Villa is located in the north of Jiangling City, separated from Cai Mansion by a whole city, it would take a long time to walk slowly.

But things can't be done overnight, Liu Wei has already led people to investigate secretly.

Ji Changxuan has a cheerful personality, while Xiao Fan happens to be a bit restrained. When they are together, one talks and the other listens. It happens that Xiao Fan is very interested in the bustling and bustling Jiangling City. Ji Changxuan talks wherever he goes, and whenever he sees Xiao Fan The wonder in his eyes gave him a sense of accomplishment.

As soon as the two became interested, they put the silent Tan Shiguan behind them, Tan Shiguan didn't care, just wandered around the wide streets of the city with Xiao Jumao in his arms, but they still followed at a distance. behind them.

"Ji Changxuan! Ji Changxuan!..." Not far away, a fat boy waved his arms in the crowd and shouted excitedly.

Ji Changxuan knew who it was without looking.

"Brother Changxuan, is that your friend?" Xiao Fan tiptoed to look at Zhu Hongye.

Ji Changxuan nodded, reached out to hold his arm, "Come on, let me introduce you two."

The two came to Zhu Hongye, Zhu Hongye looked at Xiao Fan with his slender eyes, and asked Ji Changxuan, "Who is this?"

"The younger brother brought back by my second uncle is called Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan, he is Zhu Hongye, my friend."

Zhu Hongye nodded to express his understanding, his face was immediately covered with a smile, his chubby face squeezed his eyes away, "So it's your cousin... Hey, no, why isn't his surname Tan? Could it be that he is Tan like you? The adopted son of the family?"

Ji Changxuan actually didn't understand this question, because Xiao Fan, like him, called his second uncle Second Uncle.

"That's it."

Zhu Hongye narrowed his eyes, and put his fleshy white right hand on Xiao Fan's shoulder, "Since he is Changxuan's brother, then he is my brother. From now on, in Jiangling City, where Ji Changxuan can't cover, I will cover for you!"

Ji Changxuan thumped his shoulder, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xiao Fan grinned, "Thank you Brother Hongye."

"Go, I'll take you to play." Zhu Hongye is much more familiar with the places to play in Jiangling City than Ji Changxuan, and Tan Lie is quite strict with Ji Changxuan, he rarely comes out to play.

"Wait, my second uncle is still behind, I want to tell him." Ji Changxuan turned around and saw his second uncle walking towards them.

"Second Uncle, Zhu Hongye said he would take us to play together, do you want to go together?" In fact, he didn't really want the adults to follow.

Tan Shiguan also wouldn't play around with their children, so he said, "Go and play on your own, I will walk around by myself, pay attention to safety."

yeah!

Ji Changxuan nodded fiercely in his heart, "Then let's go first."

Tan Shi waited and watched the few people leave, anyway, Yunxiao Villa and the Zhu family's influence in Jiangling City is not small, no one should dare to bully the three of them.

Xiao Jumao was busy marveling at the beauty and lingering beauty of the city. Compared with the simplicity and solemnity of the capital, the warmth and lingering here really makes people feel as if they have entered a land of tenderness. Once they fall into it, they cannot extricate themselves.

The song building music workshop, the nephrite jade is warm and fragrant, the beauties lean on the railing, laughing and talking, the pollen pilgrims linger ambiguously, outside the building, there are many painting boats on the river, and the sound of silk strings is endless.

Xiao Jumao marveled at the luxury, the magnificence, the muddiness and sinking here.

Of course, apart from these, there are quite a lot of bookstores in the market. There are outstanding people and talents in the south of the Yangtze River. These bookstores are full of literati and poets, lingering.There are also many people who sell calligraphy and paintings on the street, probably educated and poor people in order to earn some money to subsidize their families.

Every time Xiao Jumao came to a scholar's booth, he would take a closer look, these were all talents and scholars of the Xiao Kingdom, he couldn't miss them.Confidently selling calligraphy and paintings on the street in Jiangling City, where there are many talents, these people's calligraphy and paintings are definitely good, Xiao Jumao has indeed seen many excellent works.

Went to a booth again, there were calligraphy and paintings on the booth, a thin scholar sat with his head down and read a book, when he saw someone coming, Fang raised his head and looked at Tan Shiguan, the next second, both of them were stunned .

Xiao Jumao was about to jump up, his eyes were wide open, isn't this Lin Jingshu!

Fortunately, Tan Shiguan and Lin Jingshu are mentally strong, and they did not show any abnormalities in the street. Lin Jingshu first smiled lightly, with elegant eyebrows like the person in the painting, "If you like it, young master, you can take it. Just put it in this clay pot Put fifty coppers in it."

Xiao Jumao saw a painting signed "Lin Shu".

As the number one talented woman in the capital, Lin Jingshu's calligraphy and paintings are naturally extraordinary. As far as the calligraphy and paintings she put on display, only fifty copper coins are a waste of money. It's a pity that "Lin Shu" is just a nobody, and the works of nobody can't be sold at a good price. Thank you so much if someone sells it.

Suddenly, Xiao Jumao's eyes fell on a painting of cats fluttering butterflies. Why is the cat in this painting so familiar?

"This one is not bad." Tan Shiguan stretched out his hand to pick it up. The orange cat in the painting was cute and interesting. He said and put a tael of silver into the pot.

Lin Jingshu's eyes fell on Xiao Jumao, she smiled, "I can't find it."

"No problem, I like this painting very much, in my opinion, it is worth the price." After Tan Shi observed the words, he rolled up the painting scroll.

Lin Jingshu no longer refused, her eyes were calm, "Sir, go slowly."

At this time, a man who looked like a servant ran to the booth and said happily, "My lord, Mr. Fanzhi has published a book again!"

He belatedly saw Tan Shiguan with bruises on his face, he was frightened immediately, and was about to call out in the street, when Lin Jingshu yelled coldly: "Bizhu!"

Bizhu quickly covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes widened, she looked at Tan Shiguan and Xiao Jumao, the regent, ah no, why is Duke Ding in Jiangling City?Didn't you hear that you went to south Yunnan to suppress bandits?

"Didn't you say that Mr. Fanzhi has published a book? See if there is enough money in the jar to buy it."

Bi Zhu carefully moved to the clay pot, counted them, and said with a mournful face, "Master, enough is enough, but there is not much left after buying it, and our rent is about to expire..."

Lin Jingshu was silent, "Then let's buy it later."

Xiao Jumao wondered, who is Mr. Fanzhi?Are you famous?

Tan Shiguan put the finished picture scroll into his sleeve, nodded slightly, "Farewell."

After he left, Bizhu carefully leaned close to Lin Jingshu's ear, "Miss, why is he here?"

Lin Jingshu frowned, she didn't know why for a while, but she can be sure that going to southern Yunnan is definitely a cover, Tan Shiguan's secret visit to Jiangling City must be something important.

"Bizhu, this matter is rotten in my stomach."

Bizhu nodded cautiously.

"Miss, I heard that the Cai Mansion in the south of the city is recruiting servants, and the servants want to try." She can't rely on Miss to sell calligraphy and paintings every day to support her family, she also needs to earn money to support her family.

Lin Jingshu's eyebrows twitched suddenly, and she immediately replied: "No need to go, I heard on the street that day that there was a private school in a town outside the city that recruited students, as long as they passed the assessment, we will try tomorrow."

"But Miss, you are not a man."

"If you don't tell me, if I don't tell you, who will know?" Lin Jingshu got up and put away the calligraphy and painting, "Let's go back first."

Bi Zhu just wanted to say, doesn't Duke Ding know about it?But after thinking about it, how could Duke Ding care about their trivial matters?

"How do you sell these calligraphy and paintings?" asked the young master who was waving a folding fan, followed by a group of servants.

Lin Jingshu frowned and said, "Young master, we will close the stall and not sell it." She turned around and left.

"Chi——" the man smiled, and the servants immediately blocked their way.

"Why are you so ignorant, a scholar? I said that I want to buy calligraphy and painting, but you still don't sell them? What's the matter, do you think this young master is not worthy of your masterpiece?"

Lin Jingshu's face was calm, but her hands in her sleeves trembled slightly. She asked Bi Zhu to spread out the calligraphy and painting again, "If you have something you like, my lord, put fifty pieces in this clay pot..."

"Ding!" An ingot of silver fell into the clay pot. The young man stretched his neck and approached Lin Jingshu, "My young master not only wants to buy your calligraphy and painting, but also your people!"

Lin Jingshu looked up at him suddenly, with anger jumping in her eyes.

"Master Cousin, the master wants you to go home quickly." A soft and charming voice wafted into the young master's ears. He turned around and saw an extremely beautiful young woman shaking a round fan and looking at her with a smile. He looked like a soul-absorbing goblin, and his throat couldn't help rolling.

"You are?" He just arrived at the third uncle's house in Jiangling City today, why didn't he see such a charming and charming woman?

"This is Mrs. Jing from the mansion, Master Biao, the master wants you to return to the mansion immediately." The servant behind Mrs. Jing said.

He nodded repeatedly, his eyes never leaving Mrs. Jing, "Okay, go home."

The group of people turned around and left. Mrs. Jing, who deliberately took a step slowly, turned her head and looked at Lin Jingshu, her eyes were graceful and her beauty was unparalleled.

Lin Jingshu moved her lips to thank, Madam Jing showed a smile, turned her head and left.

After Bizhu waited for them to leave, Fang Chang breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, Mrs. Jing came in time, otherwise we would have suffered."

Lin Jingshu smiled lightly, "Let's go back." Although Mrs. Jing smiled beautifully, her eyes were full of silence. She looked at the clothes of the servants, they should be from the Cai family.

Not far from them, Xiao Jumao nestled on Tan Shiguan's arm, seeing this scene, he always felt that Mrs. Jing's eyebrows were somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"It should be someone from the Cai family." Tan Shiguan said suddenly.

Xiao Jumao was stunned, Jiangling City can be called the Cai Mansion, isn't it the house of Cai Li?
