The three people walked on the bluestone palace road, and along the way they met the maids bowing to salute the imperial concubine. The eunuchs also held various things in their arms and were walking in a hurry.
When one-and-a-half-year-old Yin Xiaozhen saw this scene, her first deep impression of the Spring Festival formed in her little mind: the palace people would become extremely busy as the festival approaches.
Qingyan couldn't help but feel a little emotional, "This is her fourth year in the palace, but because in the previous three years, bad things happened in the palace every time she came to the twelfth lunar month, so the Spring Festival will also be clouded accordingly."
The previous layer of shadow.
To be honest, this year was the first time that she felt the lively atmosphere of the New Year in the Forbidden City, and she also realized how particular the Spring Festival was in the Qing palace.
Because of the cold weather, the master and servant walked very quickly. After more than a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the Royal Beast Garden in the west.
The little eunuch guarding the door saw a beauty in palace clothes walking this way from a distance. When he squinted his eyes and recognized that the person was Concubine Jing, who was currently the most troubled in the harem, he hurriedly walked forward and brushed his sleeves.
Bow down and salute:
"My servant wishes you the best of luck to the noble concubine."
"Get up and take me to the cat and dog room. I want to pick up a dog and take it back to Chuxiu Palace to raise."
"Yes, my wife, please come here with me."
After hearing Qingyan's words, the little eunuch hurriedly turned left and walked diagonally ahead to lead the way.
Qingyan raised her hand and lifted up the dog hat on her son's head, exposing his pair of slender red phoenix eyes, which also allowed him to see the scene of the Royal Beast Garden clearly, and kept following her footsteps.
Go to the little eunuch.
When the young eunuch led Concubine Jing to a small courtyard with four houses connected in a row, he stopped and turned around and said to Qingyan:
"Mom, this is the cat and dog room. The cats and dogs in it are kept separately according to age. I wonder how big a dog you want to have?"
"Are there any puppies that are just one month old?" Qingyan thought for a moment and then said.
The average lifespan of a dog is basically more than ten years, and most of them reach adulthood at the age of one.
This life span is far inferior to that of humans, so she thought that if she raised a full-month-old puppy Zaizai, she could stay with Yin Xiaozhen for a longer period of time.
Xiaosi raised his head and looked at his mother. He didn’t understand this knowledge yet, so he chose not to speak and listened to his mother’s words.
"Yes, yes."
The little eunuch took off a bunch of keys from his waist, walked forward, opened the door to the last room, stepped aside and said with a smile on his face:
"Your Majesty, you are so lucky! Last month, more than twenty puppies were born smoothly, and some of them were brought in specially by foreign envoys."
"This room is full of full-month puppies. Why don't you go inside with me and see if there are any that suit your taste."
The little eunuch stretched out his arms and made a "please" gesture. Qingyan had never seen a full-moon puppy. After hearing that there were so many puppies here, she also held her son up out of curiosity.
He crossed the threshold and walked in.
As soon as they entered the puppy room, the mother and son instantly felt a spring-like warmth. It was obvious that this house was also burned by earth dragons.
The house was also very clean, and there was no unpleasant smell. Instead, there was a faint scent of milk. Presumably, these puppies had just been brought to their mothers for feeding by the palace officials not long ago.
There are rows of cages with wooden railings stacked on the three walls of the room. The bottom of the cage is covered with soft cotton pads, and a small wooden bowl filled with water is hung on the railings with wires.
A few people looked over and saw a group of fleshy, fluffy puppies. Most of them were lying on the cotton cloth and sleeping sweetly. There was a long, transparent horn hanging from the corner of their mouth, and some even blew it.
A round snot bubble.
When the "Dog King Xiaosi" came here, he felt like a mouse falling into a rice barn. He felt that his eyes could not see clearly. He wished he could pack up all the little puppies and take them back to Chuxiu Palace.
If you raise them in a medium-sized household, you can always afford to raise them if you have a big business.
Qingyan also used her lack of pet knowledge to carefully identify the breeds of these dogs.
The most popular dog here is the Pekingese, which is also a lion dog. It has short limbs and a cute and naive attitude. It is the favorite dog of the nobles in the Forbidden City.
In addition, there are also silly Chow Chows with fluffy hair, eyes that are almost squeezed out of sight, and a sad expression.
There were also several puppies that looked exactly like the roaring dogs that followed Erlang Shen. She tried hard to recall that these dogs were called "thin dogs."
She couldn't name the remaining dogs.
However, seeing that these puppies were of good quality and very clean in appearance, she felt relieved and let Yin Xiaozhen raise them.
"Xiaosi, go and see for yourself."
Qingyan saw that her son could hardly stay in her arms, so she had to bend down and put him on the ground.
As soon as Yin Xiaozhen's feet touched the ground, he immediately took his short legs and ran towards the puppy that was locked in the wooden cage.
But because he was too short, he couldn't touch these dogs, so he had no choice but to raise his similarly furry little head and look up.
A pure white little Pekingese was awakened by Qingyan's voice. It shook its head and yawned. It stood up unsteadily and walked to the cage door. It felt thirsty and was about to lower its head.
While drinking some water, I was frightened by the "strange two-legged beast" standing under its cage.
Little Jingba looked at Yin Xiaozhen who was looking up at him with his head raised and his eyes shining brightly. He couldn't help but widen his big round eyes like black pearls and felt that he was greatly frightened.
Its walnut-sized brain really couldn't figure out why the young Twoleg standing on the ground looked so much like a "dog"?
Or maybe the "peculiar dog" down here who is gifted with the ability to stand upright actually looks too much like their poop shoveler?
I can’t figure it out, I can’t figure it out!
Little Jingba stretched out his pink tongue and licked his triangular black nose, then glanced at the "strange species" standing below, and couldn't help but scream "woof, woof, woof".
A dog barked, which directly caused the barking of dogs in the entire kennel. The weak barking of the dog echoed throughout the house one after another.
Qingyan and Bai Lu were communicating with the little eunuch and listening to him explain how to take care of the full-moon dog. Unexpectedly, more than 20 puppies suddenly barked out in unison.
The sound was so loud that a puppy sleeping in a wooden cage next to Little Jingba was frightened so much that it screamed out. After getting up from the cotton cloth in a panic, it rushed towards
He ran towards the cage door, and then with a bang, his little head was stuck directly in the gap of the wooden fence.
Xiao Si was attracted by this sudden accident and turned his gaze to the side.
Then Yin Xiaozhen felt that he had found his "dream love dog", and then turned around and shouted to Qingyan in his tender voice:
"Eliang, Eliang, come here quickly, Sisi, we need to raise it!"
Qingyan followed the sound and saw at a glance a noble and elegant little pure white long-haired Pekingese squatting on the cotton cloth with its two paws facing forward and sticking out its pink tongue. She couldn't help but nodded secretly in her heart, feeling
Xiao Si has a good eye, and this is indeed a very beautiful little poodle.
"Ouch! Oh my god, why did you get into the railing again!"
The little eunuch also turned his head, but he immediately saw the familiar puppy stuck in the railing with his head down.
He hurriedly stepped forward, shouting in pain and collapse:
"Grandpa Dog, I'm begging you, please, can't you just stay still for a while? This is the eighth time you've stuck your head in."
Qingyan also walked over and stood next to her son. She was dumbfounded when she lowered her head and saw the little puppy stuck in its furry head.
I saw it opening a pair of blue, almond-shaped eyes that looked like translucent gems, looking at their group of people with intelligent yet impatient eyes.
There are three eye-catching and iconic white flames directly above its eyes, and two triangular ears standing straight above its head. The outer ears have black hair, and the inner ears have white hair. Because it has just been full moon, the inner ears are white.
The down is still a shallow layer, and people can still vaguely see the pink skin exposed underneath.
Qingyan was completely confused at this time. She couldn't figure out why there were huskies here? Erha was not a dog native to China!
"Why is there a Erha here?" She didn't understand, so she pointed her finger at the pup that was barking "Ouch, Ouch, Ouch" and asked the little eunuch.
The little eunuch who was gently stuffing the unfortunate puppy's head back heard the name "Erha" for the first time. When he realized that the dog Jing Guifei was talking about was the one in his hand, he smiled.
He replied:
"Your Majesty, this is the famous Western dog that the foreign envoys came to offer."
"At the beginning, a total of three pairs of big dogs were sent. Last month, a pregnant female dog gave birth to three puppies. This one was kept here alone because it was strong, and the other two were slightly weaker.
Still staying with the bitch.”
"My servant doesn't know the name of this famous Western dog yet. I just heard from the eunuch in charge that this dog is a sled dog. It is energetic, has slender limbs, is beautiful in appearance, and is very smart."
The little eunuch was so excited when he said this that it could be seen that he also liked this breed of dog very much.
Qingyan felt extremely complicated. This dog was indeed energetic and good-looking.
But it also has a resounding reputation as a "demolition professional" and is famous among dog circles for "let go"!
"Can it grow into a big dog?"
Yin Xiaozhen stood on tiptoes and wanted to reach out and touch Xiao Erha's head. However, he couldn't reach it, so he looked at the little eunuch and asked.
"As for Si Age, this kind of dog can grow up. Both its parents are over half a meter tall."
"Eliang, half a meter, how high is it?"
Xiaosi thought for a while and realized that he really had no concept of height, so he eagerly pulled the hem of Qingyan's flag uniform and asked.
"One more head taller than you."
Qingyan stretched out her right hand and gestured to Xiaosi's head, then explained to him in words he could understand.
"That Erliang, just give it to Sisi and raise it!"
Yin Xiaozhen raised his head and looked at Qingyan eagerly.
Qingyan wanted to reject him cruelly, but she had already promised her son to let him choose the dog of his choice, and when she saw the little Erha who had rescued her dog's head from the wooden railing, she squatted
He tilted his little head and looked at them.
The fur on the limbs is snow white, but the fur on the back is black, as if wearing a black cloak. Paired with the pair of blue eyes, it really looks cold and cool. Moreover, it is also
She was kept smooth and chubby by the palace people. When she yawned, her little pink tongue in her mouth could be exposed. She also looked like a fool and was very easy to touch.
Thinking about its "record" of being able to get its head stuck in the railing eight times in one morning, it also reflects that it is an authentic husky with a very pure bloodline!
When the little eunuch heard that Brother Si wanted to keep this dog, he quickly tried to persuade him:
"Brother Si, although these dogs look good, you need to take them out for a run every day. Not only do they exercise a lot, but they also like to cause destruction."
"Those three pairs of big dogs lived alone in a room in the backyard. The slave had to change everything in the house inside and out in almost two days, including the two sturdy red-painted wooden doors that were bitten by them.
The paint peeled off, revealing the messy, unseemly white wood stubble inside."
"If you really want to raise a dog, I recommend you to raise this little white-haired Pekingese. It has a docile temperament and is small and exquisite. You can hold it in your arms and stroke its fur to your heart's content. It is very suitable for masters to keep and pass the time."
After listening to the little eunuch's pertinent advice, Yin Xiaozhen looked at little Jingba and felt extremely embarrassed. In fact, he wanted both dogs, but E Niang had already said before that he could only have one.
He then asked doubtfully: "Can a white dog grow big?"
"Uh, no, Pekingese is just a small ornamental dog. It's basically this tall and can't grow very big." The little eunuch immediately shook his head and rejected it.
Yin Xiaozhen couldn't help lowering his head and frowning, weighing it in his mind, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the two dogs.
After all kinds of tangles, he thought it would be better to get a big dog!
The prince's brother once said that when he was his age, he and his eldest brother rode bulls and ran wildly in the palace and experienced the feeling of freedom like the wind.
Now that Mo Mo has been sent to the Imperial Mansion on the outskirts of Beijing to marry Fujin and start a business, he has no chance to experience what it's like to ride a bull in the palace again.
He raised his head again and looked at Xiao Erha's beautiful blue eyes, and decided in his heart that he would raise this big dog. When it grows up, he can ride the big dog to find the prince brother!
There were no cows, but dogs. He could also ride a dog and run wildly! He couldn't help lowering his head and frowning, weighing it in his mind, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the two dogs.
