Chapter 263 Visitors from the Western Regions
"Slow down, slowly..." Li Mu got off the carriage, holding a panda cub in his hand, as if holding a glass doll, for fear of waking up the little guy's sleep.
This is a panda!
As he came back, Li Mu's heart was pounding. He never dared to think that he would be able to raise a panda one day.
It's great to travel through time!
Li Mu was so moved that he was crying.
He liked Panda very much in his previous life, and even set up a member of a live broadcast website. He set up shortcuts on the desktop. When he had nothing to do, he clicked in to watch Panda's 24h live broadcast. He was under a lot of work pressure, watching Panda eat bamboo is one of his ways to relieve compression. It's really hard to say, it works very well.
This feeling is like some people like walking dogs, some people like petting cats, and Li Mu likes cats, but it’s just pandas. Today, the dream is fulfilled and he actually got a panda. Li Mu was so moved that tears were about to fall. It’s good to travel through time, it’s great to raise pandas through time!
Li Mu secretly scolded himself, why didn’t he think of this? It was not difficult to build a panda with his status and financial resources. But it seems that it is not the case. If it is obtained for the sake of getting it, someone will inevitably hurt the panda to cater to his preferences. The pandas of this era are not as kind as seen in later zoos. They are beasts. If people hunt them, there will definitely be death and injury. Injuring people and pandas is not the result he wants to see.
It’s better to do this. By chance, I got a panda and the psychological burden was much smaller.
No matter how excited Li Mu was in his heart, it was something that others could not understand. Everyone felt very strange when he saw his hands trembling with excitement. When they were about to part, Li Shimin also specifically instructed Dugu Jiu that if Li Mu's "symptoms" worsened, they must ask Sun Simiao to treat him in time, and regard his excitement as a brain disease!
Li Mu turned a deaf ear to this and did not want to explain it. He knew it and couldn't understand it.
As a time traveler, in the era he lived in before, the symbolic meaning of pandas was something that people of this era could not understand. In his previous life, pandas were known as national treasures. To a large extent, people from many countries did not understand China, but they liked pandas and started to come into contact with China from pandas. After domestication, pandas have a gentle personality and also have the meaning of peace and unity.
But this is not the point. The point is that Li Mu finally found a familiar mark in this world after traveling through time. This mark is a panda. The pandas of the Tang Dynasty looked exactly the same as the pandas in their previous lives. This familiar feeling made him feel that he was not lonely.
"I will definitely raise you well. When you grow up, don't be like your mother. If you think of her so irritable, I will have to send you back to the mountains. Your temper must be smaller so that you can stay by my side. Do you know?"
Li Mu held the sleeping cub and was muttering like a lunatic. At this time, Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien got the news and came from the back house. Seeing Li Mu holding a 'big mouse' in his hand, he was shocked and asked, "Husband, what is this?"
"It's called a panda." Li Mu carefully showed Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien, and said in a divine manner: "Sound it softly, don't wake it up. It will be my adopted son in the future."
"Ah?" Bai Qiaoqiao was stunned for a moment, then her eyes turned red, she bit her lower lip and said, "Husband, are you hysterical? Or are you blaming me for not having children?"
"Ah?" Li Mu didn't react and said blankly: "What and what, why did you get a baby again?"
"Then why do you want to take a wild beast as your adopted son?"
"No!" Li Mu corrected seriously: "It is not a wild beast, it is called a panda." Li Mu was a little tired and turned around and entered the studio, took off the tiger fur on his body, placed it on the workbench, and then carefully placed the panda on it. He took a piece of paper from the side and sketched a panda for Bai Qiaoqiao.
"Madam, look, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here, they are all black. This is how it looks when it grows up. Isn't it very cute?"
"Well..." Some people in this era cannot get what people in later generations like pandas. In Bai Qiaoqiao's eyes, pandas are bears with strange fur color. Bears are beasts, so they are cute.
But Li Mu said this, so she had to try to accept the setting of "Panda is cute". But after looking at the little guy on the tiger fur, it was really hard to connect with each other, and she couldn't help but say, "Husband, have you made a mistake? Is it really like this when it grows up?"
"It's not wrong." Li Mu put the painting next to the panda and said very seriously: "Don't look at it's ugly now. This is because it's too small. It will be opened in less than two months. It will be like the picture."
"Then you don't have to accept it as your adopted son..." Bai Qiaoqiao muttered in a low voice. She still felt that Li Mu was blaming her for not having children when she did this.
"Madam!" Li Mu suddenly hugged Bai Qiaoqiao, raised his hand excitedly, and said, "Madam, I really don't mean to blame you. I just like pandas. Can you please let me take it as an adopted son? Please, Madam, I like it so much."
"Husband, what are you doing? Don't be excited, you..." Bai Qiaoqiao suddenly remembered Li Chongyi's notification of the news, and mentioned what Li Shimin said. She couldn't help but feel worried. Did Your Majesty guess that his husband's brain was offended?
When it comes to Li Mu's safety, Bai Qiaoqiao dared not say anything anymore and hurriedly said, "Okay, I promise. Husband, don't be excited. Take it away, it is our adopted son!"
Li Mu hugged Bai Qiaoqiao and kissed him fiercely, and shouted: "Madam, thank you!"
He saw Li Zhien, who was a little confused next to him, and also gave her a sip: "Thank you too, his little mother!"
"Why am I a little mother..." Li Zhien was a little confused and wanted to ask. Li Mu had already gone to find materials and wanted to make a cradle for his godson.
Bai Qiaoqiao reached out and pulled Li Zhien. The two girls came outside the house. Bai Qiaoqiao lowered her voice and said, "Zhien, my husband may be sick."
"Ah?" Li Zhien said panic: "Is it because of a brain disease? What should I do?"
"You can stay here with your husband for a while. I will ask Xiaojiu to invite Doctor Sun. Please follow him and don't make him excited."
Li Zhien focused his head, Bai Qiaoqiao turned around and left to search for Dugu Jiu. Li Zhien took a deep breath, entered the room again, stood at the door and watched Li Mu working. He held a ruler and measured it on the panda, and then sawed off the fine wood, not knowing what to do.
"Master, what are you doing?"
"I want to make a cradle, coax my son to sleep, and also make a slide. When my son grows up, it can climb up and slide down...whoosh~"
"..." Li Zhien didn't know what to say, what evil wind was like to kill him? Why suddenly, there was a young master at home! Oops!
I really didn't expect that the position of the "first son" was not allowed to be the wife's offspring, nor was it cheaper. Wang Ou was snatched by a bear! Li Zhien suddenly felt a headache. Suddenly she heard the "心" sound and searched everywhere for where it came out. But Li Mu threw down the wooden saw in his hand and stood up, picked up the panda, his face full of worry, and said, "What should I do? It's so small, what should I eat?"
"Master, is sheep's milk OK?"
"Is it OK?" Li Mu searched for his memories. He seemed to have no memory of pandas eating goat milk, but he didn't care about it at this moment and said, "Go and get some, try it first, I can't let my son starve to death."
"!" Li Zhien responded and went to find goat milk. Li Mu held the panda with both hands and coaxed him: "Little thing, I have no place to get panda milk for you. You can deal with it. It will be easier to deal with it when you grow up. I will make whatever you want to eat."
...
The latest news about the Zhulu Marquis Mansion can never be hidden. Not only the so-called "mind people", but the people of Chang'an City are also particularly concerned about the affairs of the Zhulu Marquis Mansion. Li Mu's brain disease relapsed, and he collected a Pixiu to do his adopted son, as if he had wings. It spread throughout Chang'an City in just two days.
In the southwest corner of the west city, there is a "soup cake shop" and several vendors are talking about this.
"...tsk, this person has no place to talk about it. Like our hard life every day, we only have a few hundred citations of money in a day. It's wind and rainy, but not even these hundreds of citations. We live like a Pixiu. Have you heard of it? People drink goat milk!"
"What Pixiu, what goat milk, when will it be news?" A Yangjiaohu took over the conversation and said, "One of my cousins was the night fragrance for the Hou Mansion. He saw with his own eyes that Pixiu, it doesn't mean it, it's called Panda. That panda, drinks human milk! Twenty or thirty nurses serve him, which is more expensive than humans!"
"Just brag, how much does it cost for twenty or thirty nurses?"
"Bad!" Before Yangjiaohu could retort, the person next to him said, "Just say this to you, you are a foreigner. Do we have money to you? Do we know what wealth is to rival a country? No one knows that Marquis Zhulu has money, let alone twenty or thirty nurses, even twenty or three hundred. As long as the Marquis wants, he can afford it!"
This statement was immediately unanimously responded by everyone. When the interest came, everyone started to popularize the "outsiders" about Zhulu Hou's everything about Zhulu Hou, as if they had seen it with their own eyes, which was more wonderful than the newspaper readers on the street corner. Some of them had heard it, and some of them had not heard it, and they kept asking with their eyes, and the soup cake shop became lively.
In the corner of the soup cake shop, two merchants dressed in Hu also listened with relish. One of them, who was about thirty years old, looked very handsome, but he had a small Western-style beard, adding three points to the "Western-European style". However, such people were not aware of them in Chang'an. Many merchants in the Western-European region dressed like this, only half a man and half a beard could make the best.
The little beard rubbed his beard and lowered his voice: "We have been to Chang'an for two days. The three words "Zhuluhou" are almost called out. Who is he? Why is he so famous!"
