Gu Nanxi died from overwork and subsequently bound to a 'Kind Mother System', transmigrating into a book as the matriarch of a Marquis's estate.
The entire Marquis's household...
Chapter 897 Extra: Xiaohua (2)
The days passed slowly, and Xiaohua had to patrol more and more streets.
There were more and more horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians on the streets, and the once vacant houses were turned into shops selling pork patties with pickled mustard greens.
Xiao Hua was dissatisfied and left a paw print on the back door of the shop. Did the two-legged beasts sell braised pork patties in her territory with her permission?!
"Ah! It's Xiaohua! Wife, come and see, it's Xiaohua raised by Duke Yun."
In an instant, the crowd rushed over.
I have always heard that Duke Yun has a lynx, which has a proud temper and appears and disappears mysteriously. It behaves as obediently as a kitten only in front of Duke Yun.
This is what Xiaohua looks like! She looks like a big cat.
Xiaohua jumped onto the eaves of the shop with a little effort.
It did not leave, but stood there, letting the spring breeze ruffle its hair.
"Ah! She is really as arrogant and cold as the rumors say. She is really stylish."
"It is said that pets take after their owners. Duke Yun is amazing, and Xiaohua is amazing too!"
Xiaohua glanced at the person who was speaking and let out a cry.
Who are pets? Two-legged animals are pets.
The shop owner brought a small bowl of cooked meat from the kitchen, with more meat and less pickled mustard greens.
He placed the bowl under Xiaohua and stepped back a few steps: "Xiaohua, I'll treat you to meat."
Xiaohua stared at him for a few seconds before she leaped down and ate the meat in the bowl with dignity.
They ate without saying a word.
Xiaohua's pupils were shaped like needles. No, are all the bipeds outside eating so well? !
How can the food be so delicious?
Xiaohua ate the meal in big mouthfuls and then quickly ran back home. She wanted to tell the two-legged beasts at home not to cook for themselves anymore and to eat out instead.
When she jumped into the kitchen, she heard Lu Mei telling the chefs: "Use less oil and salt when cooking, and keep the food light."
The chef was embarrassed: "If we do that, it might not taste very good."
Lu Mei smiled bitterly: "There is no other way. Little Flower is so cunning. She will find the food no matter where it is hidden. Eating too much salt is not good for her. The master can only accommodate her."
"Ah? Lynx can't eat salt either?"
Lumei was not sure: "Neither cats nor dogs can eat such salty food. Lynx and cats look so similar, so it should be the same."
"Oh!" Xiaohua was angry, especially angry.
It turns out that it wasn’t that the family members couldn’t cook or had poor cooking skills, but that it was Green Plum who did it!
Humph, I'm going to run away from home. I want to eat delicious food and I won't take you with me.
Xiaohua walked and walked, she didn't know where she was going, she only knew that she was far away from home.
When you are hungry, catch a pheasant; when you are thirsty, go to the river to drink water; when you are bored, go and fight with wild cats and dogs.
Life is ordinary and boring, and she just misses her two-legged beast a little.
"Huh? How did you, little kitty, grow so big?"
Xia Lezhi had already noticed this conspicuous cat a long time ago. It had a very different temperament and was full of power.
Xiaohua glanced at him and thought that he was a baby biped, not fun to play with.
Xia Lezhi wanted to take the cat home, so he lured it with the words, "Come home with me. My family owns a restaurant and we have delicious braised lamb. I can give you half of my meal."
Xiaohua's ears stood up and she licked her lips with her tongue.
Anything delicious?!
It stood up, followed Xia Lezhi modestly, and walked into a wooden house.
"Come in quickly." Xia Lezhi scraped half of the dinner on the table into another bowl and pushed it to Xiaohua.
"Mutton soup with rice, super delicious, there are six pieces of mutton, 3 for me and 3 for you."
Xiaohua started eating and found that the two-legged cub was not lying, the food tasted really good.
The news that Xia Lezhi adopted a wild cat quickly spread throughout the mutton restaurant.
Shopkeeper Xia smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes: "This kitten is so adorable, it won't let my wife and I touch it. When Lezhi goes to school, it follows him to Fuming Town, and only comes back during holidays."
"What a clever little cat! When it gives birth, give me one."
“I want one too!”
"Okay, okay, the kitten is still young."
Xiaohua had no idea that a two-legged beast was eyeing her stomach, and she was living a very happy life.
Ever since she ran away from home once, the Twolegs made a tag for her and hung it around their necks, for fear that she would get lost again.
Xiaohua doesn't like wearing this thing, she feels uncomfortable.
Later, she discovered that whenever she passed by the shops of the two-legged animals, as long as she showed this sign, the two-legged animals would feed her food, and she didn't have to queue!
Wow!
Xiaohua’s life has reached a new level of beauty. It turns out that this is how brands are used!
"Ah, Xiaohua, I was wondering why you never eat. It turns out you've had enough outside! Grilled lamb skewers, milk tea, lamb buns, roujiamo... Oh my God, the more I forbid you to eat, the more you eat!"
Lumei was almost furious.
The merchants in Yunzhou naturally would not accept Xiaohua's money, nor would they go to the governor's mansion to ask for money.
In their opinion, it is an honor for Xiaohua to patronize their business, and it also attracted a lot of customers for them.
If Lumei hadn’t seen the Xiaohualu brand while shopping and hadn’t eaten for free, she wouldn’t have known about this!
Gu Nanxi hugged Xiaohua and advised, "Xiaohua is still young, I will teach you slowly. Xiaohua, it is not easy for ordinary people to earn a little money, you can't eat a free meal. I will put some money in your sign, you can buy whatever you want to eat."
Xiaohua is so smart, she can learn things quickly.
After she had money, the first thing she did was to treat Xia Lezhi to ice cream.
Ice cream is made of pure milk and eggs. It tastes milky and can also relieve heat.
Xia Lezhi was amazed: "So your name is Xiaohua, and you are the lynx raised by Duke Yun! Thank you for treating me to ice cream."
"Oh." You're welcome. You even treated me to mutton.
An unknown amount of time had passed, but one day, when Xiaohua went to find Xia Lezhi again, she saw him with his head hung down, almost crying.
"Xiaohua, the Tartars are coming to bully our Yunyun Province again. You have to behave yourself and don't upset Duke Yun. She is working very hard and is under a lot of pressure. Whether we can defend Yunzhou depends entirely on Duke Yun."
Xia Lezhi waved goodbye to Xiaohua, tears in his eyes, wondering if he would have the chance to see Xiaohua again.
Xiaohua blinked in confusion, what happened to them?
On the way back, all the pedestrians he saw had stern faces, and the smiles on the shop owners' faces were very forced. They were all absent-minded and almost settled their bills.
When she quickened her pace and returned home, she saw Lumei putting clothes on the two-legged creature with a serious face.
"Master, I will cooperate with the young lady to guard the rear. You must be careful in everything."
Gu Nanxi looked at herself in the mirror and took a deep breath: "Keep an eye on Xiaohua, don't let her run around. There must be a lot of spies in the city, don't let anyone capture her."
"Ahhh!" Xiaohua walked up to Gu Nanxi and rubbed her legs with her head.
Twolegs, where are you going? Don't you want me anymore?
Gu Nanxi touched her head and said, "Be good, Xiaohua. Help me protect Yunyan."
Don’t worry, the book isn’t finished yet, I’m just going to write a sequel first so you can relax.
When the finale comes, it will be marked in the title.
