Cub Nursery

Wash the paws carefully, warm water, soap once, wash with water again, wipe dry and then apply a little rouge, and finally put on the little gloves sewn by Yan Xun, and the claw cubs ran outside .

There are ten concrete statues of cubs in the courtyard, and Cub Claw ran to his own concrete statue and looked at it carefully.

The concrete statue is similar to the soap pattern, but bigger, fatter and shorter, and the claw cub needs to step on a small bench to see clearly above his head.

"My eyes are not round enough." The black and white cub was also looking at his cement statue, and there was a bronze mirror beside it. The little cub looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and then at the statue.

"Let me shave it for you." The claw cub hurried over.

The black and white cubs hurriedly gesticulated, and let the claw cubs shave a little bit.His eyes are not as big as other cubs, but he has big dark circles, and his eyes are usually big and round, but the cement statues are all the same color, and there are no dark circles, black and white cubs are particularly concerned about their eyes Round is not round.

The snake-body cub is also looking at his own statue. He is wearing thick clothes. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell it is a snake body. However, the tip of the tail is clearly exposed, and it is very flexible.

"All checked?" Yan Xun touched the head of the snake cub, then touched the cement statue, and said with a smile, "It's exactly the same."

"Check it out." The snake cub leaned against Yan Xun's thigh, rubbing its chubby face.

Ten cubs, ten statues, no Jing Fengye.

The little cubs ran back one after another, rushed up the stairs, went up to the roof, and hid behind the wooden fence.In this way, they could not only see the courtyard, but also the concrete road outside Honglu Temple, but people outside could not see them.

Jing Fengye took the initiative to walk back, stood in front of the window and looked outside.

"Next time you have a chance, you can all go out." Yan Xun said, "Let these statues go out first this time."

Under the comments of the cubs, Yan Xun called someone to carefully move the cement statue out.

On both sides of the gate of Honglu Temple, there are boiled grasses that have been placed in advance, and the base of the statue is stuck inside.Yan Xun personally ordered them to be placed one by one, and then went to remove the fence of the concrete road with his own hands.

"This cement road is used for running horse-drawn carriages. People walk on both sides, and you can also set up stalls." Yan Xun said, "No matter which way you go, you must keep to the right, otherwise you will not be able to run this cement road in the future."

Could it be that the emperor was the first to run the cement road, but the emperor didn't come in person, so Yan Xun invited Zhou Guang to lead the dragon carriage in the palace back and forth.

As soon as the dragon chariot came out, people in the distance shouted "Long Live the Emperor".

Pei Yu'er also followed Shan Hu, watching the dragon chariot go away, hurriedly got into the chariot, and whispered to the coachman sitting on the shaft, "Brother, we are coming soon, you should drive more carefully, this one is a little bit worse today." People are watching."

"Don't worry." The concrete road in front of him is smooth, even if you close your eyes, you won't roll over.

After Yan Xun finished speaking, the tall horse pulling the cart snorted and walked forward.

The carriage was so stable that it couldn't feel the bumps at all. Pei Yu'er opened the curtain and looked outside, and saw the same carriage coming from the opposite side. The driver was also young and handsome, and the person sitting in the carriage was also a young man. He immediately blew his beard and stared. .

"Brother Yu, how did you get this opportunity? Did you cry to your father?" Wang Zhen'er also lifted the curtain to look out, and said with a smile.

"How did I hear that some people spent all their private houses in order to get this opportunity?" Pei Yu'er was not to be outdone, of course he was talking about Wang Zhen'er.

Wang Zhen'er blushed, and shouted, "Humph, I see that your cheeks are red from the cold, did you not buy rouge? I have an extra box here, how about selling it to you for 200 taels of silver?"

"I don't think you have any rouge." Pei Yu'er saw that the carriage was staggered with Wang Zhen'er, so she had to put down the curtain angrily, sat in the carriage and slammed her own thigh fiercely.

The carriage came to the end, turned a corner, and went back from the other side of the cement road.

In this way, anyone can run on the cement road.

Little Yu'er was the first to step on it, and ran towards the cub statue.

Yan Xun asked someone to set up two stalls, one selling soap, ordinary soap, transparent floral soap, and fragrant rouge; the other selling square tofu cubes.

Huazao looks just like these cement statues. Many people think nothing of it when they see it. Except for a few who know, they don’t even know that these are cubs, and they don’t know that the stone building is Honglu Temple.

On the contrary, many people know that Shitou Building is the Conservation Hall, and those three big characters are very clear.

"My lord." Little You'er ran over to help, and quickly settled the accounts.

Curious people who stepped on the cement saw the soap and couldn't help but buy a few pieces, because the price is affordable.

Watching so many soaps quickly turn into money, a piece of tofu is sold, and it is worthless money in the blink of an eye.Yan Xun casually put the money into the cloth bag, apparently not paying attention.

Hu Ru's eyes widened, and only then did he realize why Honglu Temple was like this. The household department only gave 20 taels of silver, but they were able to pay for such a long cement road by themselves. It turned out that it was so easy to make money.

"Hmph, Lord Yan, tell me, what's the reason for this?" Hu Ru asked angrily.

Everyone followed Yan Xun to show their faces, and now the cement road can also run a horse-drawn carriage. Pei Yu'er and Wang Zhen'er haven't had enough fun, and the carriage keeps turning around.

But after the busy work, besides Yan Xun who made a lot of money selling things, there are also many small vendors who plan to set up stalls. For the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, it seems that there is no benefit at all.

This section of the road was completely cleared. Seeing how stable the carriage was, many aristocratic families in the city were very moved.And it won't be muddy when it rains in the future, and it's just right to set up stalls on both sides. This credit is naturally given to Yan Xun, and Yan Xun has the final say on how much the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry can share.

"Of course this is for your own good." Yan Xun said calmly. "Extending from this road, there is a street outside. Whoever pays for repairs can erect a stone monument. The Pei family and the Wang family are still there. Grab this section of the road, when they have discussed it, we will start working at that time."

The sons, brothers, and sisters of wealthy families in the capital love the limelight the most on weekdays. Whoever gets the most limelight will not only be more famous, but also their own development will be better. .

This time Yan Xun gave him a chance, and the aristocratic family in the capital had already robbed him in order to get the money to build the road in advance.

"I hope so." Zhao Yuanting said lightly.

Yan Xun said this because he didn't want to give up the credit for this section of the road to anyone, even if he couldn't drink the soup, he just gave up the rest of the road, but that's not ready-made credit.

"It should be like this." Yan Xun was not angry, seeing that everything was sold out, he moved everything back with Little Yu'er.

"My lord." Zhang Si just came at this moment.

Yan Xun knew that Zhang Si would come late, and said, "Here I am, I just need your help."

The cement road outside is fresh and tight, and many people drive their carriages around specially to feel the stable and non-bumping carriage.There were also some children who wanted to step on it. It happened that it was raining lightly in the afternoon, and the ground next to it was a little muddy even though it was clean. The road paved with bluestone was better, but it was not smooth enough.

The rainwater from this section of concrete road quickly flowed to both sides and entered the sewer through the reserved hole. Not only was it not muddy, there was not even excess water on the ground, and more and more people came here at once.

On the third floor, I saw that my own statue was well placed. Seeing that Yan Xun had sold out the soap and led little Yuer in, the little cubs hurried down from the roof.

First ran into the house, took out the straw sandals in the cabinet, made tea again, and then hid in another small room.

Hu Ru and the others entered the room with serious expressions.

If we want to continue to build roads later, if we want to claim credit, we have to ask Yan Xun to do less work. It is best if he only needs to take out the cement and does not need to help with anything else.

Yan Xun saw the plan of these people, he was happy and relaxed, and went to another small room.

There were also hot tea and snacks on the kang, Yan Xun got on the kang, saw the cubs looking at them eagerly, he smiled and said, "Did you see that? There are kids sitting next to you."

The concrete statues of the cubs are big, and there are concrete benches for sitting beside them. Many children will try to sit on them when they see them.

The eyes of the little cubs were shining, they nodded together, yes.

"Little You'er and Zhang Si are here today, how about we make dumplings together?" Yan Xun said with a smile.

Although I still eat dumplings on weekdays, I also eat dumplings during festivals or when good things happen.Obviously something good happened today, and the cubs were all happy, trying to remember the appearance of the people outside when they saw it on the roof.

During the meeting, Si Ping and Qin Shisan both came to help, Hu Ru and the others felt embarrassed, but they also came over with a straight face to have a look, otherwise they would feel that eating at Honglu Temple every day was very delicious in their hearts. Hu Ru and the others felt uncomfortable thinking about it.

"Did you see Brother Yu in the carriage?" Yan Xun suddenly remembered that when talking about the outside world before, the cubs didn't see too many people, so they imagined that those people belonged to Yan Xun appearance.

I saw a lot of people today, Yan Xun deliberately mentioned it to let the cubs know more about the people outside.

The snake body cub curled the spoon with the tip of its tail, trying to stir the dumpling stuffing round and round, and said, "My lord, I saw it and heard him talking."

"Then is he good-looking?" Yan Xun smiled, but he knew that Pei Yu'er was a very good-looking brother, well-known in the capital, and he was not a flamboyant, literary talent, and also practiced martial arts. dear.

Even Yan Xun himself thinks Pei Yu'er is very good-looking.

The snake-bodied cub looked at Yan Xun seriously, and said, "It's still a good-looking adult."

"Then... Where is the real brother?" Yan Xun has seen many times of himself in the bronze mirror, and his appearance is quite ordinary.

Brother Zhen is even more famous for her beauty, she is very talented and has a big temper, and there are countless men who propose marriage.

"Adults are the prettiest." The snake-bodied cub said firmly, "Brother is really good-looking, but not as good-looking as adults."

Yan Xun hesitated, and hurriedly asked the other cubs.

The little cubs shook their heads one after another, their opinions were the same as those of the snake body cubs.Even Jing Fengye said seriously, "My lord is the prettiest, the best buddy."

Brothers and men are actually similar, Yan Xun thinks he is also a man, and he is really not as good-looking as those two famous brothers, but ordinary, but the little cubs just recognize the reason and change everything no.

Zhang Si helped for a long time, before leaving, Yan Xun sent him to the door alone, handed him a few pieces of soap, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

"My lord, how did you do that?" Zhang Si was flattered.

"You should." Yan Xun said.

Today went so smoothly, on the one hand, Yan Xun personally invited Zhou Guanglai, and Zhao Yuanting and other officials were present; on the other hand, Zhang Si naturally helped, otherwise Mrs. Zhang would definitely come back and make trouble.

Now the statues of the cubs are successfully erected outside, and everyone can see the concrete passers-by, even those who know that these are monsters don't say anything.

Yan Xun ironed it in his heart.

Qin Shisan has learned to keep accounts from the old accountant of the Du family these days, and has made great progress. The two people from the household department have to listen to him.Now that the road construction has come to an end, Qin Shisan has to return to the palace.

The old accountant gave Qin Shisan a piece of jade pendant, and said: "Concubine Xian asked my master to hand it over. You can go to Concubine Xian if you have anything."

The quality of the jade pendant is excellent, and it feels extremely warm to the touch. It is priceless at first glance. Qin Shisan squeezed the jade pendant and said lightly: "I see."

When he said goodbye to Yan Xun, Qin Shisan's eyes were red, and he couldn't bear it from the bottom of his heart.

He used to be an unfavored prince, living in a cold palace, he had never seen an emperor in his life, and his life was not as good as some dignified maids and eunuchs.But after coming to Honglu Temple, Yan Xun didn't treat him very specially, but he always cared about him in his heart, and the little cubs regarded him as their best friend.

It is said that the Tian family is ruthless, Qin Shisan naturally knows, but in Honglu Temple, he feels that this should be his home.

"This time the errand is done well, I'm afraid you will have to come to build the road in the future." Yan Xun patted Qin Shisan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't do this, there will be opportunities in the future, why worry..."

"En." Qin Shisan sniffed and secretly hid the jade pendant, completely devoid of other thoughts.

Yan Xun sent Qin Shisan away, and asked him to help him carry a brochure.

When the emperor met Qin Shisan, he saw that he was neither humble nor overbearing. Although he was young, he already had a lot of momentum. It was obvious that he had begun to mature. Immediately, he was overjoyed and rewarded a lot of things. .

After reading the notes given by Yan Xun, the emperor remained silent for a long time, and then said after a long time: "This is a great talent. Ask Zhou Guang to come to see me. At this time, we need to make a long-term plan."

After a few days of hard work, the Pei family and the Wang family finally had an argument.

Yan Xun said this with a smile, "The Pei family and the Wang family were originally evenly matched, but this time they quarreled for a long time and couldn't tell the difference."

"Then how did you get them?" The little cubs were all curious, every time Yan Xun talked about things outside, it was like listening to a story, very interesting.

"Wang Zhen'er got a lot of flower soap, which happens to be the pattern that Pei Yu'er likes." Yan Xun laughed, "That Pei Yu'er, after a while, now I like your pattern again..." Saying that, pointing to the sharp claw Cub.

The cubs with snake body were not liked by Pei Yu'er, so he didn't have any regrets, because he knew that Yan Xun liked them cubs from the beginning to the end.

"I see, did Brother Zhen give all the flower soap to Brother Yu, so Brother Yu promised not to fight for road construction?" The snake body cub rolled his eyes and immediately figured it out.

Yan Xun smiled and shook his head, "You guessed wrong. It was Wang Zhen'er who threatened Pei Yu'er with the flower soap, saying that if he didn't give in, he would give the flower soap to others. Pei Yu'er really likes the flower soap, so I can only call it The family agrees."

"En!" Cub Claw nodded hastily.

In fact, the strength of the Pei family and the Wang family are comparable, and it is not good to always be in a stalemate. Wang Zhen'er is smart, and when he found the steps, the Pei family naturally followed the steps and came down.

The two families discussed it the first day, and the next day the Wang family sent the accountant directly to Honglu Temple with a lot of money.

Yan Xun took a look and saw that Wang Zhen'er was also coming, so he smiled and said, "Come in quickly."

"My lord." Wang Zhen'er already knew that this was Honglu Temple, and the cement statues outside were the cubs from the demon country. He was afraid of monsters at first, but the soap he used looked like these cubs, so he was afraid no matter what Can't get up.

This time, Wang Zhen'er came to deliver the money from his own accountant. He was curious, so he followed.

The inside of Honglu Temple was clean, not like a yamen at all.

Followed all the way into the house, suddenly a gust of hot air rushed to his face, and when he got on the kang again, Wang Zhen'er suddenly felt that it was warmer than the yard he lived in, and he didn't want to leave.

"Where are the cubs?" Wang Zhen'er asked Yan Xun in a low voice.

The accountant of the Wang family and Wang Yanqiu, Wang Zhener's elder brother, both froze. It's okay not to see the cubs, but if they do, they always feel that they will be afraid.

Although Wang Yanqiu didn't work in the yamen, he has experienced a lot in these years. He once saw Taoist soldiers come back with the corpse of a monster, like a hill, with poisonous lips, teeth and saliva. I heard that the bulging belly was full of crushed human flesh.

"On the opposite side." Yan Xun smiled, his expression was very calm, and he was not timid.

The cubs on the opposite side were also secretly looking at this side, and Jing Feng guarded the door of the small room at night to prevent the cubs from falling.

Wang Zhen'er looked over there, and saw a pair of bright big eyes flickering. "Oh." Wang Zhen'er couldn't help crying, the little cub was holding rouge in his hand, it was his favorite wooden box!

Yan Xun briefly said a few words, and the rest was for the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry to deal with the Wang family. It had nothing to do with him, so he said to Wang Zhen'er, "If you are curious, you might as well come with me."

"Okay." Wang Zhen'er agreed without thinking, but Wang Yanqiu didn't even have time to stop it.

He happily followed Yan Xun to the opposite small room, Yan Xun knew that Wang Yanqiu was worried, so he opened the door of the small room so that he could see Wang Zhen'er at a glance.

The little cubs sat down obediently and looked at Wang Zhen'er with big eyes blinking.

"This is real brother." Yan Xun explained with a smile, "But now is not the time to play, we have to discuss, if the stone heats up and then heats up, what kind of liquid will it turn into in the end."

Wang Zhen'er was at a loss. He knew that liquid was like water, but could a stone become like that?
