Cub Nursery

Yan Xun returned to Beijing, entered the palace to return the tiger talisman, returned the seal of the imperial envoy, went back to Honglu Temple, and never showed up again.

Ruan Duanxi, who was tremblingly waiting for Yan Xun to make a move, waited for several days before he dared to come out to inquire, but found that Yan Xun had almost 'disappeared'.

Yan Xun didn't go to court, didn't come to Honglu Temple, and didn't even show up in the capital. He seemed to have disappeared completely, and he couldn't get any news at all. Even those who knew Yan Xun kept secrets, no matter what. Ken revealed a little bit of information.

The Danxin Bridge that was originally open suddenly changed overnight. The Taoist soldiers stationed at the bridge head intercepted the Danxin Bridge again. People passing by will be carefully interrogated, stricter than those in the capital.

The people Ruan Duanxi sent were stopped even before they could go up the Danxin Bridge, and they were driven back directly.

"What about him, others?" Ruan Duanxi always felt that Yan Xun was doing this on purpose, and was going to deal with him secretly, "Where are Lord Yan, Lord Yan? He is on the other side of the river from time to time, isn't he?"

He couldn't help but think of what Yan Xun did when he escorted the envoys from the demon country to the border town, and how cruel and domineering Yan Xun was when he returned to the capital from the border town.

Yan Xun didn't leave him a penny of those coins.

Every time he went to a city, Ruan Duanxi felt that Yan Xun was like a ghost in the night, omniscient and omnipotent, he could always get the ledger easily, and go from house to house to search for the money one by one, so that’s not counting, Yan Xun You have to bring the money to Ruan Duanxi and let him nod.

Those experiences haunted Ruan Duanxi like a nightmare, every time he thought of everything related to Yan Xun, he would break out in a cold sweat and wake up shivering.

"My lord, someone came outside and said it was..."

Ruan Duanxi listened to the servant in a daze. He watched the servant's mouth opening and closing blankly, his body trembling uncontrollably, and murmured: "Monster, monster, he is definitely not a human, but a devil! Ah...he is not Human, he is not human..."

"Those adults said that when they spent money to watch the big monster, they all fell ill. Master Yan brought good medicine, and the money was extremely expensive, which was exactly the same as the money spent on buying a seat. Now several adults say that they don't have much money at home, so they want to ask Ask the adults, can you think of a way..."

"My lord? My lord?"

"Come on, Master Ruan has passed out for some reason."

"Come on someone."

Ruan Duanxi could actually hear the boy running around shouting, but he couldn't move his body, he couldn't open his mouth, and he couldn't even see anything.

He could feel his heart 'thumping' as if it was about to jump out of his chest, he could feel that he seemed to be distorted and broken, as if he was no longer alive.

At the beginning when Qi Daxi led the monster to yell at the people on the side of the road, Ruan Duanxi didn't take it seriously. He vaguely knew that this was inappropriate, but he didn't have the guts to stop it, let alone know what happened behind him.

Those people were all sick, good medicines cost thousands of gold, and Yan Xun still raised the price.

So much money, all went into Yan Xun's palm, so it didn't count, he took away all the money that originally belonged to Ruan Duanxi, and sent them to the palace with flowers and offering Buddha.

"Monster." Ruan Duanxi murmured.

"Wake up, wake up. Doctor, what's wrong with my master?"

"You're frightened, take care of it, maybe you'll get better in a few days, if you can't, don't come to me. You have to tie the bell to untie it. Think about it carefully, who is it that Mr. Ruan was frightened into? So-so."

"Doctor, doctor..."

"I can't do anything, maybe you can find a way to cross the Danxin Bridge and go to the Baoyutang Medical Center."

Ruan Duanxi shook his head, telling him to go to the Baoyutang Medical Center, it would be better to kill him.If he really went, Yan Xun would definitely not let him go.

These days, Yan Xun doesn't see anyone, except he is busy with the cubs and wandering by the river.

Riding an iron donkey on the concrete road, going to the school to see the children, going to various workshops to see the workers, going to the seaside to see the salt field, going fishing by boat, and feeding the bloodthirsty fish monster. Life is not too leisurely.

"Father, Fourteen is here!" Brother Dan came running rumblingly on a miniature iron donkey.

"Let him come over directly." Yan Xun wiped his hands, looked at the gradually forming giant, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Brother Dan rode a miniature iron donkey around the corner, and ran to pick up Qin Shishi.

Yan Xun found an empty place to wait for Qin Shishi.

The daily shipment volume of the shopping mall in Beijing is huge, and there are many people coming and going. Almost everyone in Beijing has been to the shopping mall, and whenever there is a discount in the shopping mall, the team can go around outside the shopping mall.

Yan Xun can see Wang Zhen'er, Qin Shisan, Qin San and others, but he can't see Qin Shishi.

Just seeing this, Yan Xun can no longer disappear from anyone.

"Master Yan." Qin Shishi cupped his hands at Yan Xun.

"Fourteenth Prince." Yan Xun also cupped his hands, and said with a smile, "I've grown taller, and now I have the appearance of an adult."

"Father also said that." Qin Shishi smiled briskly. He had just come out of the palace, and when he met Brother Lu, he really grew a lot taller, and he looked quite imposing.

Brother Dan put the little iron donkey in the distance, put it together with the brothers' little iron donkeys, ran up and shouted at Yan Xun, "Daddy, let's eat noodles today, the noodle press made by brothers It's very useful."

"Okay." Yan Xun nodded with a smile.

When making mechanisms according to the drawings, the cubs used discarded scraps to build a noodle press. The principle is very simple, and the assembly of parts is also simple, but it is very convenient to use.

Jing Fengye brought the charcoal stove, took out the small iron pot, and took out cotton pads and placed them around.

Not far away, Brother Dan ran in the front, and Black and White Cub and Flame Cub came out carrying a heavy noodle press.

"Put it on the table." Brother Dan jumped onto the table, patted the front and said, "Put it here."

Jing Fengye took out the dough, flattened it, and put it into the noodle press.

"I'll come, I'll come." Brother Dan stretched out his hand to grab the handle. He was too small, although he had great strength, but the handle was too high, and the whole cubs ran up to it, without any focus. The anxious Brother Dan turned somersaults and jumped Come down, throw a rope around the handle, and stand on the table to pull it.

The baby also jumped onto the table, stood aside with a serious face, watching Brother Dan cleverly wrapped the rope around the handle, and said comfortingly, "My brother is very smart."

"Of course." Brother Dan raised his smiling face, signaling to continue pressing the noodles.

The pressed noodles are more firm, put them into the big bone broth, boil them and put them in a bowl, put a poached egg on top, put a few slices of marinated meat, Yan Xun can eat a big bowl at once.

Qin Shishi was no longer restrained, and stopped after eating a large bowl of noodles. He glanced at the huge mechanism not far away, and seeing that Yan Xun didn't intend to say anything, he naturally wouldn't ask, but It's about the palace.

"A lot of people have come to the palace in the past few days, and my father has seen them all." Qin Shishi said in a low voice, "Father asked me to remind Lord Yan that the capital is not going to be peaceful."

"It doesn't matter, the more people target me, the less trouble will happen to me." Hearing what Qin Shishi said, Yan Xun heaved a sigh of relief, "Is there any news about the barren mountain in the demon country?"

Qin Shishi shook his head, "There is a lot of quarrel in the court, and the people of His Royal Highness are also gone. They all want to know how and what they can do in the barren mountains of the demon country. But now everyone doesn't know anything, so they have been nominating candidates."

"Is there someone who recommended me?" Yan Xun asked.

Qin Shishi shook his head again.

Yan Xun tried his best to facilitate the renting of the barren mountain in Yaoguo, but he didn't have a chance to get the barren mountain. Now the court quarreled three times a day, and quarreled once every three days, all because of this barren mountain.

"If Mr. Yan wants to go, I can..." Qin Shishi said, he can help, now he is in charge of the capital shopping mall, the contacts in his hands have accumulated, and he has some right to speak in the court, even the emperor has no choice but to Seeing him.

If he speaks...

"No need." Yan Xun leaned against the cushion, took a noodle and handed it to Qin Shishi, and said with a smile, "For the time being, I can't run away, and I can't ask for it. You can go back and rest assured." Take care of the shopping mall and don't worry about other things, so that Brother Lu can rest assured."

"But..." Qin Shishi also wanted to help.

Yan Xun shook his head lightly, poked the egg-loving brother with his fingers without any trace, and asked the egg-brother to open his mouth and help.

"Here we come." Brother Dan was holding a small bowl that was the same as his head, holding small chopsticks, and was struggling with a piece of noodles. He quickly ate the noodles and took another sip of soup, and then said, "Fourteen, Just listen to Dad. These things are very complicated, let's not get involved in them, if you have that free time, why not think about other things..."

The little cub spoke directly to Qin Shishi's heart in a few words.

After all, he is not one of those princes who have been scheming since elementary school, and he has no big picture. Even if he got the opportunity to manage the shopping mall, he relied on Yan Xun's fox and tiger's prestige, and relied on the cubs to teach him everything. Now he is slowly opening his eyes. , I feel that I have grown my ability, but it is not enough.

Yan Xun didn't let him help, not because he looked down on him, but because he was protecting him.

If he fell into the vortex of fighting for power, Qin Shishi had no background and no helpers behind him, he would instantly become a fish.

"Let's do another wave of activities in the mall. I will give some money to subsidize." Yan Xun said suddenly, "Many children are short not because they are born short, but because they have not had enough food since childhood and have no chance to grow taller. If the Fourteenth Prince If you want, you can take out some subsidies separately, subsidize eggs, and sell them to children."

"I am willing." Qin Shishi hurriedly said.

If so, he can be regarded as helping Yan Xun, and he can have a clear conscience!

Leave Yan Xun's side, return to the capital, enter the shopping mall, look at the people coming and going, look at those conscientious work, with the salary they earned, smiling beauties, look at those families with several The people who came to the mall to see if there were any discounts, watched the weather-beaten man take his son to eat noodles, and gave his son all the meat in the bowl, and watched the young son walk over laughingly, Qin Fourteen seemed to understand something.

Mose suddenly understood.

He finally understands something, the more people are targeting Yan Xun at this time, the emperor has to help Yan Xun in order to balance, and now Yan Xun has offended so many civil and military ministers in the capital, and offended more people all the way from the capital to the border town , The more they try to go to the palace to sue, the more they want the emperor to convict, the more the emperor can't.

On the contrary, the more this is the case, the safer Yan Xun will be.

It's ridiculous that he didn't understand anything, so he went to help out of his stupidity.

"That's it, and he gave me a way to help, but it's just some money..." Qin Shisi murmured, "Which prince can't get out such a small amount of money? Come, let me get the money, I will We need to subsidize some, specially for children..."

Along with these because of Yan Xun leading soldiers to see a doctor, he put everyone together indiscriminately, but the decoction was asking for a lot of money, such arrogant and arrogant behavior spread in the capital, and the activities of the shopping malls were also brought out of the capital by some people, bring home.

"The number of outsiders entering the city these days has increased a lot," Jing Feng said at night.

"Is it because of the activities in the shopping mall?" Yan Xun saw Jing Fengye nodding, and said clearly, "In the past, the Sun Family Village used to escort their women to Beijing at least twice a month, just for the sake of entering the capital." Buy some cheap eggs and meat in the mall. It’s cold in winter, and the meat can be stored, and you can eat a piece for a long time. No matter how far away people are, it’s not a loss to buy some paper, pens, cloth, eggs and meat to go back.”

There is not much work in the field in winter. Most farmers will winter at home. Anyway, if they are idle, they are idle. It is better to go to the city and buy some things to save a lot of money.

"How many high-ranking officials and nobles are there? How many ordinary people are there." Yan Xun was very calm.

At the beginning, Ruan Duanxi divided all the locations on the roadside carefully, and the one with the highest price got it, but how many people could really give the money?Now these people are really trying to go to the palace to file a complaint and go to Beijing to inquire about the news, but how many people can there be if they all add up?

Yan Xun dared to offend the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty in the capital, so how could he be afraid of them?

On the contrary, the common people all remembered the shopping malls in the capital, and also remembered the prices of the items inside. They also knew how these prices were so low, and they would also remember Yan Xun by the way.

The common people are the most.

"Ruan Duanxi seems to be a little crazy." Jing Fengye suddenly said, "When Qin Shishi came yesterday, he mentioned something to Brother Dan."

"He? It shouldn't be." Yan Xun frowned, "Are you really crazy?"

"Xiao Dan went to see it, and said that it is really a little crazy, but it should be nothing serious." Jing Fengye glanced at Yan Xun, a little puzzled, "Ruan Duanxi thinks that you are a monster."

Yan Xun touched the mask on his face, frowned, and said with a smile, "Am I?"

"Of course not." No one knows better than Jing Fengye that Yan Xun is not a monster, but just a very ordinary person.

riverside.

The gigantic steel giant gradually took shape. Looking from a distance, one could clearly see that the steel giant looked exactly like Du Meiqi, even bigger than Du Meiqi!

The steel supports built from the river bank gradually extended, and the heads on both sides of the steel giant's shoulders were being placed on the top.

Yan Xun lay on Jing Fengye's back, and he climbed up with his back.

"Are you ready?" Yan Xun gasped, stepped forward a few steps and raised his head to look at the gigantic head of this giant steel beast.

Unlike Du Meiqi, steel is lifeless after all, it is cold, and you must wear gloves to touch it in winter, otherwise you will get hurt.

The black and white cubs jumped down from the top wearing thick cotton clothes and round gloves, and shouted at Yan Xun, "My lord, it will be healed soon."

"Be careful." Yan Xun hurriedly said.

"I know." After the black and white cub shouted, he ran to the side, picked up a steel ingot, and ran up the ladder.

Yan Xun looked up at the flame cub on the top, thinking it was too high, he could only vaguely see a small black dot, and couldn't clearly see what the flame cub was doing.

"I didn't expect that the cubs could really be made." Yan Xun was a little emotional. "It uses a steam engine, and there are some mechanisms that I don't know. They have really grown up and are capable, so I don't need to worry about it." gone."

"I'm proud of them." Yan Xun wiped the corners of his eyes, and hurried to the side to avoid the wind.

After a while, the cubs finished their work and came down from above.

Brother Dan grabbed the black and white cub's clothes and was blown up by the wind.

"Daddy, it's so big!" When it fell to the ground, Brother Dan rushed over and grabbed Yan Xun's clothes, his eyes sparkling, "It's bigger inside, with many organs! Brothers are so powerful, I didn't see many places I understand."

"When you study in the future, you will be able to understand it." The black and white cub hurriedly said.

"Will you be able to enter the water in a few days?" Yan Xun pulled all the cubs to his side and pinched each one's cheeks, "It's been a hard few days, my face is turning red from the cold, go back and put on more rouge."

"Yes." The black and white cub agreed with a smirk.

In order to complete the work as soon as possible, the cubs did not go back to rest for the past few days, and they lived in the steel giant. Now that the work is finally about to be completed, everyone let Yan Xun come up, because Yan Xun is too thin, and the wind blows, no matter what clothes No matter how thick the clothes are, it will freeze the whole body.
