Said it was a trip, Meng Chuan and Meng Rong seemed to have a destination, rather than just wandering around.
Meng Zhao inquired on the road and learned that the zoo in Nan City in the city had a new batch of ferocious beasts today. It was said that they were quite rare, and there was also a red-tailed fox that was very popular with girls, so Meng Rong wanted to see it. The zoo, also called the zoo, is similar to a pet shop in modern society, specializing in the business of various birds and animals, such as ferocious mastiffs used by wealthy families to guard their homes, and cats owned by noble ladies and rich ladies.
Most of the rabbits come from the zoo, and the most important revenue is from various ferocious beasts.
Ferocious beasts are different from ordinary beasts. They have extraordinary powers, are ferocious in nature, and are difficult to capture, but their value is equally astonishing.
First of all, no matter how ferocious the beast is, its flesh and blood contains the essence necessary for martial arts practice. The scales and fur of some ferocious beasts contain special powers and can be peeled off and made into various treasures.
Secondly, although most of the ferocious beasts are like ordinary beasts and follow the instincts of beasts, there are also a small number that can activate their spiritual intelligence and are cultivated as spiritual beasts for protection and mountain protection. Even if their spiritual intelligence is not activated, they can still be cultivated through continuous
Repeated training can drive away viciousness and be used by others.
For example, the Meng family's black-scaled horse contains the blood of a murderer. It can be ridden and used like an ordinary horse after being tamed. It is also the work of the Beast Garden.
The zoos in Nan'an County are all monopolized by the Huang family, and there is also a lot of business in the nine counties of Jizhou.
And this Huang family has a good background. His ancestor was a fourth-rank internal official who took care of the royal garden of the palace. He was very important. At every state banquet, he would bring rare and exotic animals from the royal garden to the princes and ministers.
It made me laugh out loud and made many connections.
Later, he retired and returned to his hometown. With the help of the Meng family, he started the zoo business.
Over the years, I have made a lot of money, and I belong to a powerful group that is not well-known but has a strong foundation.
Meng Zhao had also heard that the Huang family had inherited the palace secrets, so their ability to tame wild foxes was much stronger than those of the folk. Therefore, the business could be so big. In addition to the help of the Meng family, the Huang family's own abilities should not be underestimated. "So, this is the first time I've heard of my Meng's ginseng in the Hundred Beasts Garden."
When the Hundred Beasts Garden was built, the Meng family contributed a lot. The Meng family was also very popular in Jizhou at that time, so the Hundreds of Beasts Garden was established in cooperation with the Huang family.
However, the Meng family is only responsible for connecting various local links. The specific capture, taming, and sale of animals are handled by the Huang family. The Meng family probably only enjoys the right to dividends, but not management rights.
Of course, this is not a bad thing. Professional matters should still be handled by professionals.
Even if the Meng family is a martial arts family, they are not as sophisticated as the Huang family in controlling beasts.
Anyway, Meng Zhao estimates that the benefits the Meng family has gained from the Beast Garden over the years will definitely far exceed the original investment.
For example, the Meng family's black-scaled horse was obtained through special experiments by the Huang family. It was bred from a ferocious beast called the black smoke beast and a mare. The flesh and blood of the ferocious beast consumed in daily martial arts training is basically the same.
It's provided by the Huang family...
The head of the contemporary Huang family has three sons and two daughters. The population is not large, but everyone is talented. They are either good at business, good at controlling animals, or good at dancing, and are good at socializing. In short, none of them is a waste.
This time, Meng Rong learned from Huang Ning'er, the youngest daughter of the Huang family, that among the new ferocious beasts, there was a red-tailed fox, which was extremely rare. You could come and have a look, and if you like it, you could just take it away. Little girls like cute little animals. How can they not be tempted when they encounter a rare thing like a red-tailed fox?
Hearing this, Meng Zhao gave Meng Chuan a questioning look, probably meaning, can the little girl really have the heart to raise a red-tailed fox?
It's not that Meng Zhao is throwing cold water, but that Meng Rong has raised many small animals in the past.
I have raised kittens, puppies, rabbits, and even a macaw. Without exception, the result is three minutes of heat. I turn around and forget about these little cuties. If the Meng family didn't have someone to take care of the food, I'm afraid that
I have long since starved to death.
One of the big white cats was later given to her eldest brother as a gift by her, which was the big fat cat that Meng Xi often petted and played with.
Facing Meng Zhao's glance, Meng Chuan understood it, but he could only smile bitterly and spread his hands, shrugging his shoulders, pretending to be helpless. Whatever the little girl wants to do, just follow her?
As for the red-tailed fox, is it any different from those cats and dogs? The only purpose of its existence is to make my little sister happy or unhappy. Haha, then I will peel off the fur and make it into a fur coat. It must be winter
, it will be very warm.
Fortunately, Meng Zhao didn't know what Meng Chuan was thinking, otherwise he would have to ask, why are you so bloody and cruel?
Of course, this is all a joke. Anyway, according to the little girl's temperament, even if the little fox is forgotten in the future, it will definitely be taken care of by the servants, and the weight ratio will definitely not be smaller than Meng Xi's big fat cat.<
/p>
The journey was uneventful.
Nanshi is relatively far from Meng's Mansion. The three of them walked out of the Xiyuan side gate of Meng's Mansion and hurried on their way.
Normally, Meng Rong would have screamed squeamishly like she was tired, hungry, and didn't want to leave. But this time, in order to see with her own eyes the cute little fox that her best friend Huang Ning'er said, she couldn't help but muster a sigh of relief.
Feeling angry, I want to persevere to the end.
However, this anger probably vented too early. About halfway through the journey, Meng Rong yelled that she couldn't walk anymore.
Meng Zhao suggested hiring a carriage to go there, but Meng Rong was sometimes stubborn and said that she had finally gone out once, but she couldn't stay in a small carriage and miss the scenery along the way, so she refused.<
/p>
Finally, Meng Rong looked at Meng Zhao strangely, looking at his tall and strong body, with gorgeous eyes, and said coquettishly,
"Fourth brother, my calves are almost swollen. I really can't get down to the ground, and I don't want to take a carriage. Otherwise, will you carry me?"
To be honest, Meng Rong, a stunning little beauty, has such a coquettish attitude that it will harm the country and the people when she acts coquettishly. If it were another person, she would definitely agree to it without even thinking.
Such a good thing, why should you hesitate?
Meng Zhao hesitated. He was not afraid of being tired or being noticed, but because of his instinctive sense of precaution.
Carrying someone on your back is equivalent to taking off all vigilance and defense, and leaving life and death in the hands of others.
With Meng Rong's skills, even if she couldn't kill Meng Zhao, she could seriously injure him in a surprise attack.
Meng Zhao, on the other hand, is a very careful and prudent person, especially since he has a different identity.
Even if they trust Lu Zhong and Lu Le, they only have 90% trust and leave no room for error.
As for Meng Rong, she naturally did not dare to expose her back to the other party.
Therefore, after thinking about it, I gave it to Meng Chuandao.
"Fifth brother, I'll give you a chance to show off and carry my little sister to the Beast Garden. Is that okay?"
Meng Chuan touched his ears, feeling a dull pain. He didn't know what he thought of, and shook his head like a rattle.
"That won't work. I'll leave this matter of deepening the relationship with my little sister to you, Fourth Brother!"
