Cub Nursery

Chapter 759

Evening came quietly, the demon lamp was lit, and the room was still as bright as day.

Yan Xun leaned on the soft cushion, busy working quickly.

'Toot toot'.

Jing Fengye knocked on the door outside, "Dinner is ready."

"Leave it alone." Yan Xun shouted and continued to work.

After working for a long time, when his stomach was growling with hunger, Yan Xun realized that he hadn't eaten yet, so he put aside the work at hand and opened the door.

The dinner was really placed outside and kept warm on top of the demon pot.

Yan Xun brought the dinner in, turned off the power of Yaoguo, and quickly closed the door.

A bowl of consommé bone soup, crispy pancakes filled with sesame seeds, prunes and vegetables, and a fruit platter cut into small pieces.

It's all Yan Xun's favorite food, but he doesn't care about enjoying it now, he finishes eating in a hurry, sends out the bowls and chopsticks, and continues to work.

Outside, the cubs who had finished their day's work gathered together for dinner as usual, but because Yan Xun was not there, it was a bit different from usual.

"I don't know what Dad is preparing." Brother Dan has always been curious, and even asked Yan Xun specifically, but he didn't ask anything.

"I'll know when the time comes." The baby was very calm, although he was also very curious, but he also knew that when that day came, he would definitely know.

Brother Egg pursed his mouth, ran over to pick up a boiled egg, and ran to Egg Juju, ready to share the egg with him.

Eggs boiled in white water are very authentic, which is the original taste of eggs. The egg brother likes to eat egg whites most, not egg yolks. Every time, he divides a piece of egg white by himself, and takes a small spoon to scoop it up in small pieces. , The egg yolk is given to the egg giant.

Anyone who comes to the egg giant will not be rejected, and they will help Brother Egg to finish eating.

After eating, the cubs ran to wash up together, and then ran back to rest together.

Yan Xun also locked himself in the room when he was sleeping, and did not go out until the work at hand was finally completed, carefully packed in a wooden box, and then painted with the image of a short and fat war rabbit cub. Finally done.

Coming out with presents, Yan Xun immediately saw Jing Fengye waiting outside.

"How many more days?" Yan Xun hurriedly asked.

"Three days later." Jing Feng said at night.

Yan Xun let out a long sigh of relief, "Finally caught up."

Chain monster.

Because of the need, the monster started to hold a birthday banquet.

Xiao Shitou was busy running back and forth. He prepared the best invitation cards. He also invited famous calligraphers to help write them. Some people were in a hurry to arrange for people to deliver them. Basically, the famous people in the capital would deliver them.

But the reactions of those who got the invitation were different.

Some were panicked and began to reflect on whether they had offended the monster unintentionally. The invitation seemed to be for him to attend a birthday banquet, but it was actually a warning to him; The cooperation between the two parties is mutually beneficial, but it is a pity that we have never found an opportunity. Now that we have an invitation, we have to make good preparations for the door-to-door visit.

There are even some people who think twice, hesitate, want to consult with others, and are afraid that others will know that they have received the invitation.

There were also people who dismissed invitations. It would be no good to go to the monster's birthday banquet, so he wouldn't go.

However, almost all the people who got the invitation were sneaky, afraid that others would find out, and they didn't dare to discuss it with colleagues and other acquaintances, so that they didn't even know that the invitation was owned by a prestigious family.

"I don't know how many will come." Xiao Shitou was worried.

"Come as much as you can, don't worry about it." The monster still does whatever it wants.

"But..." Xiaoshi knew the purpose of the monster's birthday banquet.

The capital is going to be chaotic, and the monster doesn't want the capital to be chaotic, so he held a birthday banquet, intending to stabilize all the respectable families in the capital with his own strength.

It's just that if there are too few people coming, the monster may not be able to achieve its goal.

Little Stone was very worried, and he didn't show it in front of the monster, but he turned around and began to arrange people.

When the day of the birthday party came, Xiao Shitou was the first one to get up, and he planned to find some diehards to make a side note.

Some people disdain to be with monsters, and their attitude is very clear, and they even insult monsters at home and insult everyone related to monsters.

High-profile, not afraid of death, even a group of people gathered around him.

Xiao Shitou went straight to the door with people, ready to kill chickens and monkeys.

The concierge of this house was a thin and weak boy, when he saw Xiao Shitou approaching the door, his legs were so frightened that he couldn't stop Xiao Shitou at all.

"Please go in and tell your master." Xiao Shitou stood at the door and cupped his fists.

The concierge stood up with difficulty and hurried in.

After a while, the porter ran out, trembling and speechless.

"Don't let me go in, right?" Xiao Shitou sneered, "The concierge hides behind and curses secretly, but let the concierge come out to report, calling me a lackey and having no conscience. Live under my hands?"

Xiao Shitou waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately arrested the porter.

"Go in!" Xiao Shitou raised his voice, "You claim to be upright and innocent, but you don't know that you have hurt your concierge by swearing behind your back."

He strode forward, and the people behind him followed closely, and went straight into the innermost part.

The old man who was standing in his yard cursing and yelling suddenly froze. He didn't think of a countermeasure for a while, but let Xiao Shitou lead someone in directly and stood in front of him.

"Continue to scold." Little Stone said softly.

The old man seemed to be strangled by the neck, unable to speak a word.

"Why don't you scold me?" Xiao Shitou saw that the old man was silent, so he said to himself, "You said that there is a lot of corruption in the officialdom, but what does that have to do with me? I didn't serve as an official in the court, my master You didn't become an official in the court either, did you?"

"You said that the people are fat and the people are anointed, but I would like to ask, where did you know it? Is there any evidence?"

The mansion where the monster lives is indeed big and very big, and there are groups of servants in the mansion. Even a little stone like this is surrounded by people who go out, so majestic.

Others only saw the wealth, and began to maliciously speculate that the origin of the wealth was unknown, and even thought that it was the fat of the people.

"Without evidence, it's just nonsense." Xiao Shitou sneered, "I'm not afraid to tell you that the first money I got back then was from a gambling shop in Beijing. There were many people who knew about it at the time. You can find out if you go to inquire. Let me tell you again, the grain and salary that the household department yamen intends to send to the border town this year has been reduced by half before leaving the yamen, and this half, part of it is in your hands, because you helped cover it up. .”

The boss opened his mouth and wanted to refute. He has worked hard all his life and never participated in these things.

"Do you still remember the loss you reported at the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry? Those losses were indeed losses, but there were still food hidden in them and they were shipped out together. Although you didn't know it, someone sent you a sum of money. You didn't I just took it after thinking about it, thinking that I have worked hard and performed well over the years, and finally won Shangguan's favor."

As a matter of fact, he was the one who boarded that not-so-good black ship.

Seeing the old man's expression changed, Xiao Shitou sighed, "Actually, even if you notice it, it's fine if you don't charge money. The person waiting for you is probably dead."

Therefore, in the officialdom of the special period of the Great Qin Dynasty, no one can really be alone, but some people take the initiative to get on the boat, while some people get on the boat passively.

No one is innocent, and those who claim to be innocent, in the eyes of others, are probably very funny fools.

"Don't be angry." Xiao Shitou saw the old man slumped on the ground, looking like a concubine. The nightmare finally woke up and found that it was the real nightmare in front of him. He said kindly, "I heard that there is a county near the capital. There was a disaster, and many people died. They were afraid of being implicated, and kept blocking the news, and killed many people. I don’t think it’s better than this. I’ll get a sum of money and food later, and you take people to help those people secretly. poor people."

"If you agree, go to the birthday banquet."

After Xiaoshi finished speaking, he stopped looking at the old man's face and led the people away.

The concierge was trembling, almost peeing in fear, but everyone left, but he was fine, and he was fine.

Waiting for Xiao Shitou to lead the people away completely, the concierge finally had the strength to stand up, he tremblingly went to help the old man up, and said in a low voice: "Master, shall we go?"

The old man closed his eyes, his voice was barely audible, "Go."

In fact, he knows what Xiao Shitou said, and he can only blind his eyes when he is in the game, so that he can continue to have a conscience and continue to live.

Does he really not know the origin of the monster's money?After all, she has been immersed in officialdom for decades, how could she not know.

He just felt that the monster was already standing high enough, and he didn't care about him as a little Beijing official, so he just yelled a little louder, but in fact, he was still yelling at those people who had lost their conscience.

It's just that he never expected that Xiao Shitou would bring someone to the door, and even gave him a sum of money to save people.

The old man stood up and went back to the study in a daze. In a daze, he seemed to see something reversed, black and white reversed, right and wrong reversed, and it became chaotic again, everything became so unclear.

Beijing.

Three days passed in a flash.

The night before, no matter where the cubs were, they all came back.

Shi Yuanshou and others who are still in the border town, as well as Qin Si from Qiyuan County, Jia Jing from Xiasha County and others, have already sent people to bring gifts in advance, and come to Zhantu when they are free in the future Cub.

The rest of the people who were able to return to the capital basically came back, and those who were originally in the capital also arranged their work in advance, and specially vacated tomorrow.

Those who are close to Yan Xun and the cubs like Little Stone and Little Beggar even came to the cement building one night in advance.

"I'm afraid there will be a lot of people coming tomorrow. I don't know if the number we estimate will exceed." Xiao Shitou sat cross-legged on the kang, lying on the kang table, dragging his chin with one hand, and writing with a pencil in the other. Hua Hua, while calculating with a worried face, "I don't know if the amount of cake prepared is enough. If there are leftovers, it will be difficult to handle."

As long as there are visitors, there are cakes to eat, even those who don't stay for dinner, there are also cakes that can be taken away.

But if there are too few visitors and the cake is left, it's not a good sign...
