Chapter 38 Cats and Women
Fu Jiuqu did not steal the chicken or pet the dog, but went to... pet the cat.
Outside Dongshui Gate, east of Hongqiao.
There is a building that is different from Zhuangzi in Kaifeng Prefecture.
With its back to the Bian River, it occupies a large area, surrounded by water on three sides and high walls on all four sides. The entire Zhuangzi is completely covered, with turrets built at the four corners, and the imperial guards are on guard all year round. It can be said that it is heavily guarded.
No one knows who the owner of this mysterious village is, but they all consciously stay away.
In fact, this is the secret cat residence of the Prince of Guangling.
He called it "Li Nu Village".
Fu Jiuqu loved cats, but the eldest princess was in poor health and could not see the cats. Fu Jiuqu took care of his mother, so he built a cat farm outside, which fulfilled his filial piety and was in line with his own wishes.
In Bianjing City, many people keep cats as pets, but there are often those who refuse to keep them well, or the cats run away on their own. Fu Jiuqu had people pick them up, clean them up, and keep them in Linu Village. Linu Village
Of the cats, less than half are rare breeds collected from various places in Fu Jiuqu, and more than half are stray cats of all kinds.
At this moment, the sky is getting brighter, and a group of cats are wandering in the courtyard to bask in the sun. They are either leisurely, lazy, or curious. They lie down, lie down, lie sideways, or jump and play on the wooden fence and wooden house.
Fu Jiuqu was surrounded by cats, leaning on a rosewood couch under the eaves. His half-closed eyes, uninhibited smile, and lazy movements gave him a bit of a cat look, like a cat demon.
Sun Huai sighed inwardly after seeing this.
The prince of Guangling County is still in his prime of life. He doesn’t sleep with women but loves to sleep with cats...
What a pity.
A waste of natural resources.
I don’t know what kind of woman can take in this cat demon master...
Duan Sui reported at the door, "Sir, Tan Nu is here."
Fu Jiuqu hummed, and slowly stroked the soft cat's back with his slender fingers.
A girl wearing a bright red straight-collared double-breasted gown and an azure skirt walked in. She was cleanly dressed and looked upright and elegant.
"Tan Nu has seen me..."
There were twenty-eight cat slaves in Li Nu Manor, all of whom were girls in their mid-20s. Sun Huai was afraid of staining his master's eyes, so he chose all beauties who were delicate, beautiful, kind and gentle.
This woman's original name was Luo Tan. She was the oldest among these cat slaves and was the one in charge.
She carefully saluted Fu Jiuqu, spoke slowly, but clenched her fingers slightly, looking very nervous.
"Master Jiu has not been to Li Nu Village these days. He has added several new little ones. Except for one adult cat, the remaining three or five are less than a month old. They are fed with goat milk and are just waiting for me to name them..."
Fu Jiuqu raised his eyes: "Where is Jinzhan?"
Luo Tan shivered, her knees seemed to be weak, and she stammered.
"Jinzhan, Jinzhan's maids... are looking for you."
"Looking for?" Fu Jiuqu slowly stood up from the rosewood chair. His voice was not loud, and the tone was pleasant and pleasant, but it was as cold as a sharp knife scraping bones, which was creepy.
Luo Tan knelt down with a thump, her raised face was as pale as paper, and her shoulders were shaking non-stop.
"Master Jiu, it's all your maid's fault. It rained that day and I wasn't feeling well. After feeding me, I told Bi Yan's little hooves to keep an eye on the golden lamp, and then I went back to my room to rest... Who would have thought that when I got up the next day, my maid would
Found, discovered that the marigold was missing."
Jinzhan is the name of a cat.
Also known as the Golden Quilt and Silver Bed, Fu Jiuqu is fond of Fu Jiuqu because of his beautiful appearance.
"If you can't even look at a cat, what use do you have?"
Fu Jiuqu's voice was cold, while Luo Tan raised her pale face and begged.
"It's all my fault that my maid trusted Bi Yan too much and thought she would take a good look at Jinzhan. My maid deserves death. Please punish Master Jiu..."
Fu Jiuqu narrowed his eyes, looked at Luo Tan coldly for a moment, and suddenly raised his lips into a smile.
"There is no need to die, just one death is enough. Sun Huai, take him down and kill him with a stick!"
Kill with a stick?
Luo Tan swayed and kowtowed desperately.
"Master Jiu, please spare this maid. Spare your life. I will work for Master Jiu in the next life..."
There was silence in the courtyard, and no one dared to persuade him.
No one knows why Fu Jiuqu can be so gentle and affectionate towards a cat, but shows no mercy for such a beautiful maid.
The prince loves cats and is quite paranoid when it comes to cats, but this is the first time he is so angry that he wants to take a human life.
Sun Huai's eyelids twitched.
Seeing that Luo Tan's forehead was smashed and the blood splashed on the ground and turned into a bloody flower, he forced himself to apologize and smile.
"Sir, Tannu made a big mistake when he lost the golden cup, but I will send someone to look for it... maybe I can get the golden cup back..."
Fu Jiuqu looked at him coldly and laughed.
"Get it back?"
His cold gaze slowly fell on Luo Tan's head.
"How can I find something that I lost intentionally?"
Luo Tan raised his head and looked at Fu Jiuqu with a prepared face. His lips kept squirming, and he repeatedly wanted to explain something, but not a word came out.
Fu Jiuqu waved his hands, looking bored.
"Pull it down."
"Master Jiu..."
A short cry of fear rang out,
Luo Tan then fell softly.
Duan Sui held the handle of the knife in his hand, seemingly still confused that he had knocked someone unconscious with the back of the knife. He looked at the knife over and over, and then smiled awkwardly at Fu Jiuqu.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates don't know about this girl, so why don't they knock her?"
Fu Jiuqu's face was expressionless, as if he didn't see through his little thoughts, and he slowly turned his face to look at Sun Huai.
"Master..."
Sun Huai didn't need anyone to call him, he knelt down as soon as his body went limp.
Sun Huai has made many mistakes over the years, and has been kicked hard by Fu Jiuqu, but he has never worried that Fu Jiuqu will kill him... In the past, Sun Huai always thought that it was the temper of Prince Guangling.
Well, now it seems that I am completely lucky.
"Young man was confused just now. You shouldn't speak for your sinful servant..."
"madness."
Fu Jiuqu smiled coldly.
"You and Duan Sui will each be fined half a year's salary."
Sun Huai said nothing, and Duan Sui sighed, pointing at his miserable face.
"Why am I here again? What did my subordinates do wrong?"
·
Sun Huai went out cautiously, his legs felt like they had been filled with mercury, and he couldn't find consciousness for a long time.
After he arranged for someone to drag Luo Tan down and walk around the garden several times, he finally understood why Fu Jiuqu called him stupid and why he got so angry——
Not even a mouse can escape from the Linu Village, so how could the cat be lost?
Luo Tan is lying.
"Sir." Sun Huai ran back quickly, knelt down heavily in front of Fu Jiuqu, and slapped himself in the face willingly.
"I'm stupid, now I realize that Tannu is not a good person. She is deceiving me."
Fu Jiuqu raised his eyelids and said nothing.
Sun Huairui approached him with a crooked face, "Just tell me, I'm the best master in the world, so I won't kill my servants casually..."
Fu Jiuqu said with a cold face: "If you talk nonsense again, I will cut off your flesh and feed it to the cat."
Sun Huai quickly smiled and said serious things.
"I don't understand. Tannu has been favored by me and raised cats in Linu Village with good food and drink. What else is there to be dissatisfied about? Why would he betray his master..."
"If a person's heart is not as good as a snake swallowing an elephant, if he wants to look forward to Shu, how can he miss her?"
Fu Jiuqu chuckled and suddenly changed his face.
"Don't go to trial yet!"
Sun Huai shivered and rolled up his sleeves in a fierce gesture.
"Young ones are going to be interrogated right now. They are eating the food inside and out. It is really unreasonable. How dare you make trouble under the eyes of the master. See if I won't skin them today, father-in-law..."
Fu Jiuqu kicked him on the butt.
