When Chu Xiuming finished his work and found Chu Xiuyuan and Shen Jin, he saw Chu Xiuyuan carrying a cage and said, "Brother will definitely not let you raise it."
"Why?" Shen Jin looked at the pup in the basket, with pure white hair and a foolish look, not to mention how cute it was, "Why won't my husband let me raise it?" Her ears were still drooping on her head, her eyes were innocent He looked at Chu Xiuyuan intently.
"This dog will grow very big." Chu Xiuyuan said, "Didn't you notice that its paws are very thick?"
Shen Jin is not unreasonable either, "I can raise big dogs too."
"Little lady, why don't you ask your husband to make a decision?" The dog seller said, "This is a cub born by our own dog. Although it is not a rare breed, it can be herded."
"What's wrong?" Chu Xiuming came over and asked.
When Shen Jin saw her husband, she said expectantly, "Husband, can I have a puppy?"
"Brother." Chu Xiuyuan actually likes this puppy, but he is afraid that it will grow too big and hurt Shen Jin.
Chu Xiuming didn't answer right away, but came over to see which pup first. The pup was not as harmless as it was just now, and the fur on its back was about to explode, and it whined softly at Chu Xiuming. It was the dog who felt threatened, "Is the big dog mated with a wolf?"
Shen Jin found that she couldn't understand Chu Xiuyuan's words again, and the accent this time was still a little different from when she bought the leather, "Husband is very good."
"Brother can speak many local languages." Chu Xiuyuan said in a low voice, "I just can't understand the words on the coast."
Shen Jin nodded, "I don't understand either." In fact, she has never heard of it, but she only knows Mandarin.
"Yes." When the dog seller heard this, his face became more sincere. People who can speak their language are usually friends, and it is the first time he has seen this puppy like this , usually half-dead, "I won't lie to you, there were three in that litter, and this one is weak, and the color is not good." White looks good, but it's too conspicuous, and it's not as effective in the woods as a dark dog .
Chu Xiuming nodded, reached out and pinched the dog's neck to lift the dog up, the dog and Chu Xiuming looked at each other for a while, and then whined, and didn't struggle anymore, being extraordinarily honest, Shen Jin was stunned watching , and then Chu Xiuming put the puppy into Shen Jin's arms. The puppy whined twice, then looked at Shen Jin, lowered his head and licked Shen Jin's hand. Fat and soft, except for the eyes, nose and small black lips, the rest is white, like a cotton ball.
Chu Xiuyuan also liked it, and reached out to touch the puppy, but seeing the obedient and soft puppy in Shen Jin's arms, he ignored Chu Xiuyuan, and returned to the way it was when Chu Xiuming didn't come.
"This dog is very smart, I want it." Chu Xiuming said.
The dog seller didn't say much, after quoting the price, Chu Xiuming paid the money directly, and then took the basket handed over by the dog seller.
"Going back." Chu Xiuming looked at the sky and said directly.
Shen Jin bought a rabbit and a puppy, feeling very satisfied, nodded and said, "Okay."
Chu Xiuming saw that Shen Jin was holding the puppy in both hands, his eyes darkened for a moment, and after handing the empty basket to Chu Xiuyuan, he put his arms around Shen Jin's shoulders, and walked away with her half in his arms, while Chu Xiuyuan followed In the back was a cage in one hand and a basket in the other. For some reason, the honest rabbits began to huddle together and urinate sparingly, making Chu Xiuyuan's clothes dirty and smelly.
Shen Jin hugged the puppy and sat on Chu Xiuming's horse. It's a pity that the rabbits couldn't be taken back together today, and even a lot of things they bought with them were entrusted to the chariot dealers. They will send them to the General's Mansion in the border town tomorrow. , which is specially used to help people transport goods between the border town and the market, and of course there are people sitting there.
Stretching out his hand to touch the soft fur on the puppy, Shen Jin lowered his eyes slightly and didn't ask why Chu Xiuming specially asked some vendors to deliver things to the General's Mansion in person since he had such a business, as if this market is what it is? Who is managing such things? Shen Jin discovered that when the exchange market opened, she could find a lot of news. She heard people discussing it, and it seemed that some tribes had wars, so no one came to the exchange market this time. Shen Jin couldn't understand people's words, but what about Chu Xiuming
Shen Jin poked the puppy's stomach, this husband was very mysterious, the first time I met the bearded man who looked like a door god, and then he looked cheerful and careless in front of outsiders, and he looked silent and seldom talked in the mansion... and She doesn't talk like that kind of non-human fireworks, I always feel... Squeezing the dog's tail, Shen Jin no longer thinks about it, anyway, she married this man, and this man will let her sit on his shoulders , protecting her and sheltering her from the wind and rain, that's enough, and by the way, I will buy her a puppy, eavesdrop on her and correct her in a serious manner, and let the kitchen make food for her...
"Husband, will Madam Zhao give us food?" Shen Jin asked while hiding the dog in Chu Xiuming's cloak.
Chu Xiuming hummed and didn't open his mouth to speak, because the horse ran fast, and his mouth was full of dust when he opened his mouth.
Shen Jin nestled in Chu Xiuming's arms contentedly, pinched the puppy's tail, the puppy shook it impatiently, Shen Jin thought for a while and said, "Husband, what do you think the puppy should be named?"
Chu Xiuming was not ready to answer, he had already discovered that sometimes this little wife doesn't really ask you, "Why don't you call me little one."
Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, the corners of Chu Xiuming's eyes twitched when he heard the name, and Shen Jin was still expressing his beautiful wish, "Although Xiuyuan said it would grow very big, I still want to give it a big name." Let's hope it's not too big, or I won't be able to hold it."
"Little one, you can't grow too big, but I like you very much when you grow up." Shen Jin rubbed the puppy's stomach and scratched his chin, and muttered.
Before the sun set, several people rushed back to the general's mansion in the border town. This time Chu Xiuming didn't bully Shen Jin anymore, he untied his cloak first, and then went down first, then hugged Shen Jin down again, and said, "Let it be by yourself. run."
"Okay." Shen Jin's arms were tired from hugging all the way, so he squatted down and put the little one on the ground. The little one was very wary when he arrived at a new place, and followed Shen Jin's feet closely, not running around at all.
Chu Xiuyuan looked at the little snowball-like body of a puppy and asked, "Brother, do you need to be trained for a while?"
"No need." Chu Xiuming said, "I'll do it."
Chu Xiuyuan looked at the puppy and said with a smile, "If this dog is raised carefully, it will definitely be a good dog when it grows up."
"En." Chu Xiuming also found out that the most important thing is that this dog is very smart, and after being tamed and kept by Shen Jin's side, it can protect him a little bit, but the foundation is a bit poor, and it takes a lot of trouble and money to raise it.
"By the way, to name this dog, it must be majestic." Chu Xiuyuan's eyes showed longing, "Sister-in-law, I will go hunting in the future, so you can lend it to me."
"Okay." Shen Jin said with a smile when he heard that the puppy would not be taken away, "It already has a name."
Chu Xiuyuan asked, "What's it called?"
"Small." Shen Jin said happily, "You said it would grow big, but I still hope it's smaller so I can hug it."
Chu Xiuyuan looked at Chu Xiuming, with accusations in his eyes, "Brother, what do you think of the name?"
"Very good." Chu Xiuming didn't even look at Chu Xiuyuan, "Madam's dog can be called anything."
"Sister-in-law, it's fine even if it's called Laifu and Lucky." Chu Xiuming felt wronged for the puppy. This dog will definitely grow up. You can tell by looking at the dog's legs, which are thick and shapely, with thick paws.
Shen Jin smiled sweetly, and refused without hesitation, "No, names like Laifu and Zhaocai don't sound good."
Chu Xiuyuan felt that he might not want to take it to hunt anymore, and he would be laughed at.
Hot water was already prepared in the mansion, Chu Xiuyuan took a melancholy look at the little one, and then went back to the yard to wash it, while Chu Xiuming sent Shen Jin back, and said at the gate of the courtyard, "I will take the little one away first. "
"Can't you be in my yard?" Shen Jin asked with some reluctance.
Chu Xiuming raised his eyebrows, "Can you raise them?"
Shen Jin really didn't know how to raise it, squatted down and touched the puppy's head, picked it up and put it in Chu Xiuming's arms, then said, "Okay then, don't hold it by the neck anymore."
Chu Xiuming didn't speak anymore. Shen Jin walked a few steps and turned back into the yard. When Shen Jin entered, Chu Xiuming walked to his yard with the dog's neck in his arms. He still had to let the craftsmen speed up. What does it look like to be so far away.
The little guy knew that Chu Xiuming was not easy to mess with, and he accepted his fate, like a dead dog being carried away without moving, and occasionally wagging its tail to make people think it was still alive.
Zhao Nanny smiled and said, "Madam, if you don't want to part with it, just go to the general's courtyard to see it."
"Oh." Shen Jin responded, "By the way, is there a place for dogs to sleep?"
No one knew that the general and his wife would come back with a dog in their arms, so there was no kennel prepared in the mansion. Mother Zhao said, "Don't worry, madam, after a while the old servant ordered someone to find a small mattress and sew it together. The dog sleeps."
After thinking for a while, Shen Jin gave Anping the big cushion on her bed that Anping had just made not long ago, and said, "Send it to the general, and say it is for the puppy to sleep on the cushion, making it softer."
After Anping agreed, Shen Jin went to clean up. After all, she had walked a lot, not only her clothes and shoes were dirty, but she also had a smell on her body.
Nanny Zhao said while helping Shen Jin wash her hair, "The two envoys sent a message today, saying that they are going to return to Beijing in two days."
"But my husband bought some skins, and I'm going to send them to the capital to give some to my concubine, but those people won't be able to deliver them until tomorrow, so I'm afraid it's too late for them to take them back." Shen Jin said, "Why don't you discuss it with them? , later?"
"The old slave will send someone to pass on the message later." Zhao Momo said, anyway, the later the two go back, the better for the general's mansion, and the general's book should have been sent to the capital, but the two adults were first Shen Jin was locked up in the General's Mansion openly, and later directly sent someone to guard him. There was no time to write a secret letter to the capital, not to mention that they didn't find out any news about the General's Mansion. The most wonderful thing is that Shen Jin didn't realize that she helped How busy the general is.
