[Old Nine Gates] The concubine is polite

Sleep less and get up early, and after explaining to the kitchen to make some easy-to-absorb recipes for the Buddha, Li Yan took Qi Ba to the flower and bird market. There are ready-made Fengshui masters, so don’t use them for nothing, I’m afraid Qi Ba After finding out that she was not the original owner, Li Yan dared not say that she was plagued by nightmares in the middle of the night, but only said that because the Buddha was injured, she felt that the feng shui in the house seemed wrong, and hoped that Qi Ba could help give some pointers.

Qi Ba didn't dare to say anything else, but when it came to his old profession, he was eloquent.Li Yan followed her mother to believe in Buddhism, and now she has become a descendant of a "cult". It's like worshiping Qi Ba as a Feng Shui fortune teller.So according to Qi Ba's instructions, after Li Yan bought the flowers and plants to be replaced and sent them to Zhang's house, Li Yan thought about it and bought a pair of parrots to put in the living room to increase the popularity.

It is said that the mansion of Master Zhang Dafo is gorgeous, with exquisite and luxurious decoration, and all the antique ornaments are good, but the whole mansion has the same temper as his old man, quiet and coquettish.After only staying for a few days, Li Yan felt that after he had visited every corner of the mansion, he would probably feel bored. No wonder the original owner wanted to run to the Liyuan all day long, and his feelings were boring.In order not to repeat the same mistakes, Li Yan made up his mind to change the atmosphere of the mansion. Since the overall atmosphere of the Zhang Mansion is quiet, it is necessary to use movement to control the stillness. The popularity and vitality of the mansion, and some cute decorations and accessories fully show that there is a mistress in this mansion. The more Li Yan thinks about it, the more proud she is, and the more she thinks about it, the more she feels that her future life can also be beautiful.

Li Yan swept his eyes and saw that the dog and cat seller next door to the parrot shop had a litter of newly weaned young Tibetan mastiffs. He leaned over in surprise and squatted in front of the iron cage to carefully look at these future powerful thugs: "Come on, put these two A mastiff with fierce eyes was also packed for me." Surprisingly, I was able to see two small milk dogs with unusual eyes among the five. They have such evil faces since they were young, and they must have the potential to rob houses in the future. Shares, you have to get them home.

"Ah, Ayan, what are you buying them for? This kind of dog breed is not easy to get close to." Qi Ba saw that Li Yan bought two vicious dogs without saying a word, expressing that he couldn't understand.

"I don't buy them for the sake of being close to them. If you don't want to be close to them, you are a good dog to watch the house. If you want to be close to them, of course I buy cats. I don't like dogs." Li Yan said that he doesn't like dogs as a matter of course. As soon as the mastiff was taken to the Zhang family, it has lived a life of ice and fire since then. While being fed by Li Yanru as warm as spring, it is also being trained harshly by the guards, hoping to cultivate them into two loyal dogs. Guard dog.

"Speaking of cats, I'm really going to buy two more. Ah, my loving cat, your adoptive mother is here, waiting for me to adopt you back." Li Yan clapped her hands together and threw a pile of cat baskets with a smile. run away.

There are not many breeds of cats in this shop, and there are only three or four breeds sold in the store. The most common ones are rural cats and Persian cats. Li Yan only looked at each one, and did not see any eye-catching ones, but compared After all, Li Yan loves the fluffy beauty of long-haired cats more than short-haired cats. In order not to leave any regrets about coming out this time, Li Yan plans to go to the next door to see if there are any cats he likes.

"What's the matter, don't you like anyone?" Qi Ba saw that Li Yan got up and was about to go out, so he hurriedly followed and asked.

"Yeah, there are too few varieties, and there is nothing particularly eye-catching and resonant." Li Yan pouted regretfully, looking around at the surrounding shops.

"If you want to buy a dog, I know Fifth Master has a lot of dogs. If you're interested, you can visit his house." Qi Ba sold out his fellow disciples, and it was easy.

"Most of the dogs in Wu Ye's family have been trained. I like to train them by myself. They are so loyal." Li Yan said this, and suddenly thought of a message in Baidu, saying that Wu Laogou later The dogs bred are military dogs in the army of later generations. If that is the case, can Li Yan also encourage Buddha to start domesticating a group of military dogs as a helper now, not to mention other things, the search ability of light military dogs is also second to none of.Thinking of this, Li Yan was shocked immediately, and patted Qi Ba's shoulder appreciatively: "Old Ba, you are indeed our Buddha's lucky star. From now on, Buddha and I will rely on you to guide us."

"Of course, but what did I say that made you feel this way?" Qi Ba followed Li Yan into a cat shop with question marks all over his head.

"I haven't met the fifth master for a few times. I used to follow my father to visit Wu's mansion on the fifth master's birthday. What about you, how is your friendship with the fifth master?" Li Yan thought about it carefully. In the memory of the original owner, Old Dog Wu had a casual relationship with everyone.I remember that Du Niang mentioned that when the Nine Gates were washed, Old Dog Wu got the wind and escaped. He went to the Songhua River to find Zhang Qishan, and Zhang Qishan suggested that he go to Hangzhou. The door-to-door son-in-law.He has three sons: Wu Yiqiong, who is Wu Xie's father.Wu Erbai, and Wu Sansheng, in "Tomb Raiders Notes", Wu Xie met Poker Fing, Zhang Qiling through Wu Sansheng's uncle.

"I don't have any friendship. Except for dealing with him in goods, I rarely have contact with him on weekdays. However, Fifth Lord is generous and kind, and loves to make friends. If we really get along, it must be because we are both members of the Nine Clans. He is also I won't refuse." Qi Ba replied uncertainly.

Li Yan rolled her eyes, nodded, and patted Qi Ba's shoulder with a smile: "Then this arduous task is entrusted to you. Whether our Buddha can have a group of well-trained military dogs depends entirely on You are a master."

At this moment, Qi Ba understood Li Yan's purpose of looking for Wu Wuye, and he was dumbfounded: "What, what? You want me to snatch Wu Ye's dog? That can't be done, you don't know that these dogs are all Wu Wu's dogs. Grandpa's treasure, other things are easy to talk about, as for this precious bump, Fifth Master will never sell it."

"It's worthless! How do you know it won't work if you haven't even tried it? It really doesn't work, you encourage Xie Jiuye to persuade him. Jiuye is a master planner, so he's sure to get twice the result with half the effort." Li Yan followed up with an idea.

"Hey, speaking of Master Jiu, I remember that your Third Master has a good relationship with Jiu Ye and Fifth Master? You can go back to Li's Mansion and ask Third Master for help?" Qi Bayi thought of this for a moment, and suddenly felt quite There is a sense of relief in passing the burden on to someone else.

"Are you crazy? You asked me to go back to Li's mansion to find my third uncle? Don't you know that my third uncle is what I fear most? Ever since he was framed and broke his leg, he has been suffering from paranoia and suspicion all day long. I think His eyes are hairy." Li Yan looked at Qi Ba who came up with such a bad idea with an unreasonable expression.

"That's true, third master, but he is the most ruthless character in Changsha. Even when I meet him, I feel terrified. All right, I'll ask Lord Jiu to see if there is any way." Qi Ba looked sympathetically. Eyeing Li Yan who was shivering, "Hey, do you still want to buy a cat?"

"Buy! Of course, hey, there is a litter of cats there that looks good, let's go and have a look." Li Yan accidentally glanced at a small alley between the two shops, and an old man in gray linen sat cross-legged at the entrance of the alley. There was a basket of tabby cats sleeping in a group.

"Old man, how do you sell this cat?" Li Yan straightened her skirt and squatted down, looking at the old man with old bark on the opposite side and asked softly.

The old man looked up at Li Yan's attire, and then replied in a hoarse voice: "These are all unweaned bobcats. When you buy them, do you raise them or stew them for health?"

Li Yan, who is a member of the Cat Lovers Association, turned green: "Of course I have raised it. Hey, this is a bobcat? No wonder it has stripes all over its body. Oh, the fur is quite long and the ears are also pointed. Can this be raised well? I’m afraid that it will run away after being half-dead.” As he spoke, he stroked the fluffy cat’s fur with both hands.

"Ma'am, don't get too close, the bobcat has a wild temper, be careful of being bitten." Erya, who was following beside him, immediately knelt down and stopped.

"... Crow's Mouth." Li Yan looked at Erya speechlessly. Just after Erya finished speaking, one of the kittens that was touched turned around and bit Li Yan's finger. Fortunately, the wild cat didn't have all its deciduous teeth. , but it didn't prevent it from grinding Li Yan's fingers vigorously, trying to gnaw off a piece of meat.

"Ah! Ma'am, stop quickly, this little bastard, who knows how to kill his master at such a young age, must not be a good thing." Erya cursed anxiously.

"This girl is wrong. Since this lady is interested in this lynx, she must have taken a fancy to its unruly wildness, and it is precisely this kind of wild cat that has just been born and has not been weaned. If you take it home and raise it properly, the future Only then will it be possible to become its recognized owner. An aggressive lynx as a pet, can be a family pet in leisure time, and can be worth a guard dog in time, isn’t it the best of both worlds.” The old man squinted his eyes and was not in a hurry Slowly talking about the benefits of raising bobcats.

Li Yan, whose hands were itchy from being bitten by the bobcat, withdrew her finger, touched the grumpy wild cat, and said with a smile, "If it's for the old man, I'll take both of them!" Turn: "However, the old man doesn't speak like a villager in the mountains. He can be said to have a degree of advancement and retreat. In the end, I didn't know how to raise this bobcat, and it was because I didn't raise it well?" Hearing Li Yan's words were wrong, he guarded The bodyguard immediately made a defensive action.

"My wife flattered me, the old man, but I like to listen to teahouse stories in my spare time. After listening to a lot, I will naturally be able to talk." The old man counted the money in his hand as calmly as a mountain, and patted the money bag after confirming that the amount was correct. : "Thank you, madam, for the reward. The old man's livelihood this year depends on it."

"What does the old man usually do for a living?" Qi Ba asked curiously.

"Old man, I'm getting old. My wife left me long ago. People say raising children to prevent old age, but in this world, it's useless to raise anything. Three children, the eldest died young, and the second died of starvation. It was hard to feed them. A young son has just been raised and was dragged off to join the army. Now, as an old man, I rely on being an apprentice in a pharmacy when I was young, knowing a few herbs, and relying on mountains to support me. Well, these two bobcats Ah, I picked it up when I was looking for medicinal materials, and I was reluctant to eat it, so I just brought it out and sold it." The old man knocked his leg and sighed.

Li Yan suddenly became interested, and took out a few blueprints from his arms and handed them to the old man: "Old man, I have some herbs here, you can see if you have seen them, if you have, sell them to me next time you go down the mountain, okay?" ? I recycle at a high price!"

Little theater of life:

Madam Hongfu was curious: "Ayan, you and Buddha have been married for so long, do you still feel your husband's heart beating faster when you look at him now?"

Li Yan said as a matter of course: "Yes, every time he suddenly asked me where the money went? My heart beat instantly! I don't know where the money went! Anyway, it's nothing, nothing... ···”
