Cub Nursery

Yan Xun, who hadn't shown up since returning to the capital, finally appeared, but others still had no chance to see him because he had entered the palace.

"Eunuch Zhang." Yan Xun cupped his hands at Zhang Rui.

Zhang Rui also hurriedly cupped his hands, and said in a low voice: "It's still the same in the palace, but Concubine Jia has been ill again these days. Mrs. Jia went to the palace to see her a few times, but her face was washed with tears. Hey, when will this day be the end?" ah."

With just a few words, Yan Xun knew what he wanted to know.

The little prince was in Yan Xun's hands, and Concubine Jia had been recuperating from illness. It was originally a fake recuperation, but after a long time there was no news of the little prince, and it turned out to be a real recuperation.

Even though the little prince hadn't received the jade certificate yet, he was extremely favored and had countless eyes staring at him.

This time the little prince disappeared suddenly, the concubine Jia was seriously ill, and the emperor kept silent, because he didn't know how many mouths he needed to find out the truth.It's just that there are very few people who know the truth, and besides the emperor's confidant Yan Xun, they can't find out the truth at all, so they can only guess.

The little prince in the palace suddenly didn't show up, and the mother and concubine were seriously ill, so the emperor kept silent. It's not like this happened before. Any old man in the palace can guess that the little prince must have died young.

There are quite a few people guessing like this, even the Jia family got the news.

Mrs. Jia entered the palace in person, only to see Concubine Jia who was getting more and more haggard and her face was almost destroyed, but she couldn't see the little prince, and couldn't hear any news about the little prince.And no matter what Mrs. Jia asked, Concubine Jia kept silent.

Mrs. Jia thought she had guessed the truth, but her eyes were full of tears, and she washed her face with tears.

This time Yan Xun entered the palace, Zhang Rui said so, Yan Xun knew what the emperor was concerned about these days.

So as soon as he entered the imperial study, seeing that the left and right were being pushed back by the emperor, Yan Xun said: "The little prince can be saved."

"Really? How did you save it?" The emperor straightened up and asked hastily.

"I'm not sure yet, but the little prince no longer has to sleep all the time, he can get up and eat something." Yan Xun said, "In a few days, we should be able to find a definite solution."

In a few days, when Dan Honghong breaks her shell, she will be able to find out if the little prince has been saved by asking Dan Honghong.It's just that Yan Xun wouldn't say such things, even if the emperor forced him to ask him, he wouldn't show Dan Honghong.

The emperor calmed down a little, and sighed, "It's better to take your time."

Yan Xun heaved a sigh of relief, as long as the emperor didn't ask questions.

"Then the Shen family..." The emperor suddenly remembered Shen Qianyin, and hurriedly said, "Shen Qianyin paid a lot of money to build roads, but she has a kind heart."

There are more and more concrete roads in the capital, and they are more and more accessible. In winter, you don’t have to worry about the roads being icy and hard to walk. Someone will always remove all the ice. In summer, you don’t have to worry about the muddy roads, even if it rains It will also go away quickly.

It is not easy to build so many roads, and money, manpower and material resources have to be worried about. If the imperial court can't afford such money, it can only rely on donations from some people.

The Shen family is very rich and donated the most money, even the emperor has already remembered him.

Yan Xun paused and said, "It's nothing."

Since the emperor said so, then he will not be in trouble with the emperor again, and in this way, the disaster that brother Dan caused will be written off.

"Yan Aiqing stay and have dinner." The emperor said again, "Concubine Jia is getting more and more uncomfortable these days, and the imperial physician can't see anything, why don't Yan Aiqing take a look."

"Yes." Yan Xun hurriedly agreed.

The imperial physician in the palace is no worse than Huo Lao, and he has never seen any illness, the emperor feared that Concubine Jia had the same illness as the little prince, so he asked Yan Xun to have a look.

Yan Xun naturally understood the meaning of this, so he agreed without hesitation, otherwise he really wanted to see a doctor for Concubine Jia, fearing that Concubine Jia would not be favored again in the future. foreign minister.

Plates of imperial food were served, and Zhang Rui personally set the dishes for the emperor.

"Don't worry about me, go to Yan Aiqing's side." The emperor laughed loudly.

"Yes." Zhang Rui hurriedly came over with his back bowed, and lightly poked the corner of Yan Xun's clothes while arranging the plate.

Yan Xun understood instantly, and hurriedly pulled himself together.

After a short while, two sturdy maids came in carrying the concubine Jia who was describing the bitterness.

"Your Majesty." Yan Xun hurried forward and saluted.

"Master Yan." Concubine Jia was weak, her lips were pale, she was sitting crookedly on the side, and she had to be supported by a maid, barely able to hold the chopsticks.

The palace maids and eunuchs who used to be around Concubine Jia were all gone, and replaced with new faces, people who had never seen her would not be able to tell.

Yan Xun watched Concubine Jia struggling to eat a few mouthfuls of food before leaving, he also had no appetite, he just waited until the meal was finished and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty is losing both energy and blood, and your appetite is not very good. The humble minister looks at her face, could it be that she is pregnant?"

"Really?" The emperor paused.

"Please ask the imperial physician to take the pulse and know." Yan Xun said.

The emperor hurriedly stood up, ignored Yan Xun, and hurried out.

After a while Zhang Rui came back and said to Yan Xun, "Lord Yan, go back. The Emperor wants to accompany Concubine Jia..."

Yan Xun raised his eyelids, knowing that he guessed right.

Coming out of the palace, seeing Jing Fengye waiting outside, Yan Xun smiled helplessly and got into the carriage.

"Go to the mall." Yan Xun said.

"My lord seems a little unhappy?" Jing Fengye asked in a low voice.

This time entering the palace should be very smooth, otherwise he would not come out so soon, but Yan Xun was not as happy as usual.

"Hey." Yan Xun sighed, stepped forward and leaned into Jing Fengye's arms and asked, "Master Jing, you said that if something happens to Xiaodan this time, if I get pregnant again, will you be happy?"

Being pregnant is certainly a good thing, but if something happens to the baby, Yan Xun feels that he will definitely not be happy.

Jing Fengye said softly: "Xiaodan will be fine. Don't worry, my lord, I will never let Xiaodan have any accident, nor will I let other cubs have any accident."

"What if? We are just hypothesizing now, you should think about it carefully." Yan Xun said.

"I can't imagine it." Jing Fengye said honestly, "We have prepared so much for the cubs, even if the big monster makes a move, it is not impossible to fight back. If something happens, everyone must be together, and no little egg will be alone. something happened."

They may not be able to deal with the big monster, but they have shells, which can always be blown up, and in the worst case they will die together.

Jing Fengye didn't dare to imagine that kind of situation, he would feel very scared, and he would feel very useless.

"The emperor is very happy to know that Concubine Jia is pregnant again." Yan Xun moved his fingers, holding Jing Fengye's hand and said, "The little prince can only wake up for a while now, I told the emperor truthfully... "

However, the emperor knew that the little prince was only rescued, not fully rescued, so he did not continue to ask further questions.

Didn't ask what the little prince said when he was awake, didn't ask if the little prince missed the emperor and concubine Jia, didn't ask how the little prince was doing.

After falling asleep for so many days, the little prince already has a bitter face, more terrifying than Concubine Jia. Even if he can wake up a little with the help of Egg Honghong these days, he can't eat much and is still skinny.

"The shopping mall is here." Yan Xun said, "Don't tell the little prince about this, and don't tell the cubs either."

"Okay." Jing Fengye hurriedly agreed.

It's spring, and all the cotton in the mall has been evacuated, only some cotton cloth is still on sale.

Many people came to the shop in the shopping mall to eat together, and when they saw a small group of cubs hula la running past, they would smile knowingly, and they would no longer be surprised by seeing monster cubs, or even back away in fear.

"Daddy is here." Brother Dan rushed to the glass wall, shouted at Yan Xun while waving his paws, "Here, Daddy!"

"Here we come." Yan Xun hastily waved.

There are several noodle restaurants opened in the shopping mall, and the noodle tastes are different, each tastes different. This time, the noodle restaurant chosen by the cubs is newly opened, and Yan Xun has never been to it.

Going around the door, seeing the cubs that had been prepared long ago, Yan Xun smiled and said, "Have you thought about something better?"

"Thought it out." Brother Dan said happily, "I heard that the fried noodles here are very delicious. My brothers and I want to eat fried noodles, and we also ordered a plate of cold bean sprouts and cold tofu. Dad, look at it Menu, there are other sides here..."

A bowl of noodles is only ten renminbi without adding anything. The most common semolina is used, and the big bone soup is boiled. If you want more noodles, you can add [-] renminbi. full.

There are also noodles made of fine white flour, broth with bones, sliced ​​meat, braised eggs, bean sprouts, meat sauce, sesame oil, etc., as long as you want to add, you can add some money.

"And fried tofu? I want to put fried tofu in the noodle soup." Yan Xun said, "It's thoughtful to cook the fried tofu again."

Yan Xun also made fried tofu and boiled it, it tasted very good, but he didn't tell anyone that the chef of this shop obviously thought of it himself.

"I want fried tofu too!" Brother Dan said happily, "I'll try it later."

After a while, bowls of noodles were served, Yan Xun looked at his own first, and saw that the fried tofu was golden brown, and when the soup was boiled, the flavors all penetrated into it, and underneath were sticky noodles with a few pieces of meat , plus a cut egg, really good.

Baby, like Brother Dan, is too small to reach the table if he sits on the bench. He stands on the table with shoe covers on his feet and eats noodles with his own special chopsticks.

The baby took a sip of noodles and asked, "Father, Shen Shulang hasn't shown up for several days, do you want him to come back?"

Now, although there is no evidence to prove what Shen Shulang has done, but he has been to Shen's house, Shen Qianyin can make the men under his hands make so many preparations, maybe it is the information revealed by Shen Shulang.

On weekdays, the cubs would not deliberately hide anything from Dashan, Tieniu, and Shen Shulang. Sometimes they used umbrellas, even when discussing the transformation of institutions.The reason why the cubs did this was just to let Dashan and Tieniu know more about these things.

"Go to his house and ask, I'll go in person," Yan Xun said.

Originally, he turned a blind eye to Shen Shulang, because he didn't take him seriously, but also because he cherished his talents. If Shen Shulang can successfully enter the high school, he will surely rise to the top in the future.Yan Xun didn't think about using Shen Shulang for anything, he just thought that he could be a good official and treat the people well, so that would be fine.

However, this time the baby was injured and almost disappeared, and even more implicated Bei Qi, Yan Xun could no longer sit idly by.

"Can I go?" Baby raised his head and looked at Yan Xun expectantly.

Brother Dan also walked over and stood beside the baby, clenched his fists, and stared at Yan Xun with his big eyes flickering.

Both cubs wanted to go to Shen Shulang's house.

The baby wants to continue investigating the case, which is where the responsibility lies.

"Brother Dan, do you want to go too?" Yan Xun stretched out his hand to poke Brother Dan in the face, causing him to stumble.

Brother Dan rolled a few times on the table, hurriedly got up by himself, and said excitedly: "My lord, I want to go. After my brother finishes checking the clues, I want to ask Shen Shulang why the lord treats him so much, but he wants to repay him with revenge." ! And why did he go to find Shen Qianyin, and what is his relationship with Shen Qianyin? I still think Shen Qianyin is weird, why did he treat my brother so cruelly for no reason!"

"Benefits." Yan Xun said casually.

"That's not necessarily true." Brother Dan said with his hands behind his back, "As long as there is half a profit, some people will take risks; as long as there is a ten percent profit, some people will lose their conscience; It can trample on everything in the world. My brother is just an investigator, he is not an arrester, even if he is caught, he will not get so much benefit, but will offend us, Shen Qianyin is not that stupid!"

Brother Dan with his hands behind his back, circling around the baby.

The baby picked up his own noodles and fed them to Brother Dan, who quickly opened his mouth to swallow it, hiccupped and continued, "I think there must be something else going on."

"Yo, brother Dan is also following my brother's example in investigating cases, and he still looks good." Yan Xun said with a smile, "Well, it's just you two."

"Oh!" Brother Dan cheered immediately.

A few new shops were added in the shopping mall, Yan Xun hadn't seen them before, so he went in to have a look.

"Hey, the guest officer is buying clothes?" The waiter with a happy round face turned red quickly when he saw Yan Xun coming in, but he still hurried over.

"There are quite a lot of clothes here." Yan Xun picked up one and looked at it, then asked casually, "What's the price?"

The waiter hurriedly turned around and pointed at the clothes in front of him as he introduced them endlessly. He didn't see Jing Fengye who followed in, nor did he see the cubs who ran into the next shop, and he didn't see the cubs who were only the size of an egg. The egg brother who ran in.

"I want this, this, these, wrap them up for me." Yan Xun said.

"Okay. Sir, you bought a lot, so you don't need to use paper bags, I'll pack them in wooden boxes for you." The waiter picked up the clothes and sent them to the side, and ran over to guide Yan Xun forward, "Guest officer, This is the counter, pay here."

The waiter is a foreigner, and the shopkeeper in the shop is the elder of his family. He has been in the shop for a long time now, and it is not like he has never seen a handsome brother. Today, the one he sees has a certain air, and his appearance is even more unique. It's nice to wait.

This appearance is nothing more than the best.

"Let Master Jing give the money." Yan Xun said with a smile, "I don't care about the money."

The money at home was never on Yan Xun's body, and he never brought any money with him. Jing Fengye usually kept money bags in his arms, and even the cubs had accumulated pocket money.

Jing Fengye took a step forward, holding a silver ingot and handing it over.

The traces of dragon scales on his hands are very obvious, and the nails are also slightly different from ordinary people's. When the waiter looked up and saw Jing Fengye's face, his heart skipped a beat.

This is obviously not a human being, but a monster.

But in an instant, the waiter of the kung fu shop realized that this should be Mr. Jing who the shopkeeper was giving him advice, wishing to mention him a hundred and eighty times a day, and the one next to him must be Mr. Yan.

The waiter in the shop understood instantly, no wonder he looked at that person handsomely, it turned out to be Lord Yan.

"Xiaoer, I want this wooden hairpin!" Brother Dan ran to the foot of Xiaoer, pointing to the wooden hairpin on the wall.

Most of the clothes in this shop are sewn clothes, which are hung row by row. There are only a few wooden hairpins on a small part of the wall. I looked at it several times.

"Xiao Er, look down." Brother Dan's voice was loud, but he was too small.

The waiter hurriedly lowered his head, and sure enough, he saw a little cub, he hesitated, and asked, "May I ask you, are you Master Xiaodan?"

It is rumored that Master Yan's sons are monster cubs, all of them are small in size. Among them, Xiaodan followed Peking University to investigate cases and found out many unjust cases. Almost predicts things like a god, and there are no cases that cannot be investigated clearly. He is a very powerful arrester.

Brother Dan shook his head, "I'm Xiaodan's brother, I'm Brother Dan. Brother is in the shop next door, you can see him when he comes over later."

"Brother Egg." The waiter hurriedly confessed, took the ladder, and helped to take down the wooden hairpin.

Brother Dan took the wooden hairpin with both hands and looked at it carefully, and said with satisfaction, "It's really good, wait a minute, I'll go to my brother to get the money. My money bag is on my brother, and the money bag is too big, I carry it on my shoulders." inconvenient."

After finishing speaking, Brother Dan returned the wooden hairpin to the waiter in the shop, and ran to the next door shop.

After a while, Brother Dan really came back with his small purse on his shoulders, and said with a wheezing voice, "This is the pocket money I saved up, and I don't usually have a chance to spend it, so I'll just buy a hairpin now."

"Who does my brother buy the wooden hairpin for?" Bao Bao came from the shop next door, ran to Brother Dan with his hands behind his back, and asked with a smile.

The other cubs from behind also entered the shop and moved to the side of Brother Dan.

"This wooden hairpin is really pretty." Shaking Mountain cub looked at the wooden hairpin on the wall again, hesitated and said, "I won't buy it this time, and I will bring him back when Jiaqing comes back from the border town next time." Pick the right one."

No matter what Jiaqing has done to him and what he has done to the guard city, he has rescued the Shaking cub after all, and secretly fed the Shaking cub, otherwise the Shaking cub would not have survived to the capital. It is even impossible to survive.

This kindness will never fade away, and the Shaking Mountain cub will always remember it in his heart.

"I want to give it to Xiao Huanzi." Brother Dan said loudly.

The baby was taken aback.

Among the people they know, there is no Xiao Huanzi, only brother Huan who lives in the border town, and brother Huan is older than them, brother Yidan's upbringing should not directly call him that.

"Brother, it's him." Brother Dan pulled his cheek, grimacing and looking crazy.

"He." The baby understood immediately.

Now the only one who is crazy is the little prince.

"Let's go." Seeing Jing Fengye coming out with the packed wooden box, Yan Xun hurriedly said to the cubs.

Brother Dan quickly hugged the wooden hairpin with one paw, while carrying his own purse, and ran out following the cubs.

The shop was quiet for a long time, and the shop waiter slowly came back to his senses, walked over excitedly and said to the shopkeeper: "Uncle, their house is different from the rumors. It's not that Master Yan only loves his own children, other cubs Are you having a bad day?"

The shopkeeper had a gray beard and snorted, "Don't listen to those gossips. There are also people who say that Lord Yan treats his two children badly in order not to make the world laugh at him. He beats and scolds every day and only treats other cubs well. Why don't you believe those words?"

"Is there such a thing?" The waiter's eyes widened, "Uncle, I believe it. There is such a family in our village. The eldest daughter in the family was picked up outside. In order to prevent the villagers from gossiping and for my own face, I only treat the eldest daughter. Good girl, give the big girl something to eat and drink spicy food, meat to eat every day, eggs to eat every day, and new clothes to wear every day; the little girl is my own, so she never wears new clothes or eats meat. I saw with my own eyes that little girl eating grass leaves outside hungry."

"Is it the old Shen's house? It's still the same now?" The shopkeeper hasn't returned to his hometown for many years, but he still remembers this. "I went back ten years ago, and the old Shen's house is like this. Doing so much harm to the little girl..."

"That's not the case. The old Shen's family recruited a son-in-law for the eldest daughter, and the younger daughter didn't care about it. Now that the younger daughter wants to come out to work, the old Shen's family disagrees with life and death. Every day, she will die..." The waiter sighed, " Uncle, why do you think Lord Yan didn’t only treat other cubs well for his own face, and not treat his own cubs badly?”

"Old Shen's family is sick." The shopkeeper finished speaking slowly, but did not mention Yan Xun.

The little cubs who had run far outside all pricked up their ears, hearing these words clearly.

The long-haired cub puffed up his chest, got into the carriage with a smiling face, and smiled at Yan Xun. He liked the word 'home' that the waiter said very much.

Brother Dan jumped into the carriage with the purse on his shoulders, and carefully put away the wooden hairpin he bought, "Father, are there really such stupid parents in this world?"

"What's wrong?" Yan Xun naturally couldn't hear what the waiter and shopkeeper said.

Jing Fengye looked up at Brother Dan and said nothing.

Brother Dan then Balabala repeated what the waiter and the shopkeeper had said, and then hugged his little arms and said very unhappy: "Father, do you think there will really be such parents? I heard from the waiter in the shop that the pair of parents The mother wanted her own little daughter to work for the eldest daughter without giving a penny, and said she wanted to treat the eldest daughter well all her life. The eldest daughter can't sew clothes or cook, and the man she married was a Zhongshan wolf, who only knew how to eat, drink and play , just like that, in order not to let people say that they are not good to the eldest daughter, the parents still have to serve the eldest daughter and son-in-law. The shop assistant said that the younger daughter seems to be crazy, and no one in the village dares to care..."

The cubs got into the carriage one after another and sat in rows.

They also heard those words, and they all looked at Brother Dan silently.

Although the cubs didn't change their name to Yan Xun's father, but everyone got along like this all the time, just like a family.There are many times when the cubs themselves wonder, do they take up too much of the adults' time?

Obviously the baby is the adult's own cub, but they get together less and leave more, sometimes not as long as the cubs they spend together.

After all, their identities are different, and the eyes of outsiders will also be different.
