Chapter 12 Adopting a Little Monkey



"Stop it!"

The righteous boy Zhao Youning couldn't help but stepped forward, "How could you hit someone?"

"Haha, young master, how can a beast be a human? This monkey is very cunning, so this is how you deal with it. You don't understand, so don't worry about it. Go home and find your parents."

If it weren't for the silk clothes and jade pendants and sachets Zhao Youning was wearing, which made it obvious that he was a young master from a wealthy family, the monkey trainer would not have been so polite.

Zhao Youning was very angry, but there was nothing he could do, this was not his thing.

【Please pay for it.】

Zhao Letong gave him an idea, and Zhao Youning's eyes lit up: "I bought it. Tell me, how much is it?"

The monkey trainer's eyes flashed with brilliance as he calculated the appropriate price for the monkey. He said, "One thousand taels of silver, not a penny less."

"One thousand taels? You're asking for too much. The child is so young, you can't cheat him like that. One thousand taels can buy a small house."

The onlookers could not stand it anymore and started to scold the monkey trainer.

"What do you know? This is my bread and butter, my family, my son, my lifelong support. What's a thousand taels? I don't even want to sell it."

Monkey show can bring him hundreds of coins every day. He won't become rich, but he can have delicious food and drink easily. He only needs to feed the monkey a couple of steamed buns. It is really profitable.

What if I sell the monkey and all the money is gone?

That's why he asked for a sky-high price of one thousand and two taels of silver, but he actually didn't want to sell it.

No one noticed that Zhao Letong walked to the monkey, stroked it gently, and secretly loosened the chain around its neck. The little monkey did not move, with a glint of humanity in his eyes.

If he doesn't want to sell it, forget it. Let's go. Out of sight, out of mind.

Zhao Youning was unwilling to give up, so he left obediently. Still thinking about the little monkey, he said, "I'll go find my father and ask him to buy it for me."

[Can my third brother give it to you? ]

Zhao Youning was discouraged and was sure he would not give it to him. His father had money but he was still tinkering with his junk. His pockets were cleaner than his.

Let's sit here and rest for a while.

The two men sat with her on the steps, both with dejected looks on their faces. The child couldn't understand how there could be such cruel people in the world?

No sympathy, so evil.

Zhao Letong yawned. Children tend to feel sleepy and want to sleep.

Unconsciously, she fell asleep leaning on Zhao Youning. Not long after, she heard a commotion in the distance and a miserable cry: "My eyes, beast, I'm going to kill you."

Before they knew what was happening, a gray shadow flashed by, and several little monkeys appeared beside Zhao Letong, hugging her tightly and shivering.

"Oh, the little monkey escaped. How clever!"

Zhao Youning was very happy, but he was afraid that someone would find out, so he hid it under his robe.

Zhao Letong was sleeping soundly and had no idea that the little monkey was moving so quickly. The monkey trainer chased him here, but because they were sitting on the ground and there were many people around, they didn't notice.

One of his eyes was bleeding because the monkey had scratched his eyeball. His face was covered in blood and it was scary. Everyone around him avoided him.

Half an hour later, Zhao Letong woke up again. Zhao Youning said mysteriously, "Auntie, I have something good to show you."

"What?"

A monkey face appeared in front of her. Zhao Letong remained calm and rubbed his head: "Not bad, you are quite clever."

"Auntie, how do you know it will escape?"

[There was no chance to create one. I loosened the chain, so of course it escaped. Fifth nephew, learn from this next time.]

Zhao Youning: "..."

It turns out that my aunt asked me to buy a monkey just to cover up her tricks. My aunt is so smart.

This is called making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.

Zhao Youning said that his studies were wasted.

【Hurry home.】

Zhao Letong was also afraid that the man would chase them. After all, they were all children and had no ability to protect themselves.

The waiting coachmen and servants breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them come back. They would never dare to let their masters go out to play alone again. What if something happened?

But they really couldn't catch up. Who would have thought that the children ran so fast, like rabbits, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Finally, I waited for them to come back and hurried back home. From then on, I dared not let them go out alone.

Before Zhao Biao came back, Zhao Letong played with the monkey, bathed it, fed it, and even asked the maid to sew clothes suitable for it. The originally dirty little monkey was now clean and cute, with big timid eyes. The maids were all attracted by it and couldn't help wanting to touch it, but the little monkey only let Zhao Letong hold it and didn't let anyone get close to it.

Zhao Letong got his first pet. When Zhao Biao came back, he showed it to him first. Zhao Biao was also quite surprised: "Why do you have a monkey?"

Zhao Letong, [I rescued it. It's so pitiful, being abused and starving. Daddy arrested that person and sent him to do hard labor. He doesn't work hard himself, but relies on a monkey and abuses others. People like him should always be hard laborers, so they know how hard work is.]

Zhao Biao smiled. His daughter was so kind.

"Okay, Dad got it. Tongtong, are you hungry? Do you want some snacks?"

Zhao Letong asked someone to bring back the snacks she brought back. [These are for Daddy. I met a very handsome uncle today, and he gave them to me.]

"Oh, my daughter is so filial. She even knows to bring delicious food for her dad. That's great."

The housekeeper watched him and the young lady communicate smoothly, and felt that the old general was now content with his daughter. No one could understand what the young lady meant, but the old general was talking lively.
