Xu Mingyi lifted an exquisite bamboo basket from the empty chair next to him, gently placed it on the table, pushed it in the direction of Wu Chao, and said, "Let's see if it matches the eye compatibility."
Wu Chao cast his gaze away.
The bamboo basket was padded with a thick lotus-pink fine silk cloth. Inside, a snow-white kitten with a red gold bell tied around its neck was sleeping inside.
Probably awakened by the silence, the furry little thing opened its eyes for a moment, looked around, let out a sweet "meow--", then buried its head again and fell asleep with a purring sound.
"...It is somewhat similar to the Third Eye." Wu Chao commented pertinently.
Xu Mingyi nodded in agreement.
"Lazy is a bit lazy, but he can eat and sleep well. Because of this, his temperament is also the best among his brothers and sisters in the same litter."
She thought about it, after all, the Crown Prince's wife had never seriously raised a cat that had always belonged to her. After all, there was a difference between a wild owner who just ran away and a serious owner.
Without experience, it would be bad if you encounter someone with a wild personality and get scratched.
"And I carefully selected it, and I think it is the most beautiful." Xu Mingyi gently poked the cat's face with his finger, and said with emotion: "When it gets older, this rare beauty should be able to turn all cats upside down.
exists."
Wu Chao had a smile in his eyes.
However, his eyes unconsciously moved to the face of the cat-loving girl.
The girl's eyes were half-closed, her thick eyelashes cast thin shadows, and two dimples on her cheeks were faintly visible.
Looking at such a face, a voice popped up in the young man's mind - when it comes to beauty, he still thinks Miss Xu is the prettiest. Whether compared with people or cats.
Xu Mingyi took back the hand that smoothed the cat's hair, and then opened a box at hand.
Wu Chao looked over subconsciously.
"These are all used to relieve its boredom -" Xu Mingyi dug out a few small balls of thread, and then took out a slender green bamboo stick with a few feathers hanging from brocade on one end.
Wu Chao took a look and felt something was wrong.
Why do those feathers look familiar to him?
Before he could ask, Xu Mingyi coughed lightly and explained: "This is the hair that fell out of the third eye... I just took it and used it."
Throwing it away is a waste.
And since we are all a family from now on, just treat it as a meeting gift from Tianmu, who is your elder brother.
When Wu Chao heard this, he took another look.
I was already bald and was losing hair all the time.
The lost hair will also be used as a tool to please the new pet in the family.
I have to say, this slightly tragic experience is really quite relieving.
Although the big bird will choose to stay at home most of the time during these days, don't think that he can't see that the bird's intention is just to keep a bowl of water flat, so as to satisfy its intention of feeding two families with one bird.
"This is for eating. It is still young, so it can be fed by soaking it in boiled water until it becomes soft." Xu Ming pointed to a paper bag in the box and said, "This is specially prepared by the Princess Royal Palace.
I made the recipe for feeding the cat. It was too hot to store it for a long time, so I didn’t take too many of it. But the recipe was collected together, and it’s all in the box. I’ll just ask someone to make it later.”
This cat is coming from Tong Jiaojiao.
Her family, Jiao Jiao, takes care of cats even more than she does with Mianshou.
Wu Chao was a little surprised when he heard this.
Is raising a cat so complicated?
Looking at the full box again, he couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect Miss Xu to be so patient."
She agreed to help, and he was sincerely grateful. And the person who could have put a cat in front of him had prepared these things so carefully.
In the past, he would have thought too much.
Xu Mingyi glanced at him.
Listening to this, in his eyes, she is actually an extremely impatient person?
Hey, you can see it quite accurately indeed.
"I don't have the patience to raise these myself. But since I want to give it away, I should still be more careful."
If you don't do it, you won't do it. If you do it, you will naturally be responsible to the end.
Hearing what she said, Wu Chao felt admiration in his heart.
"Thank you so much, Miss Xu."
only--
"What Miss Xu just said is that this cat belongs to the eldest princess's house?"
"Well, the two lion cats I mentioned earlier were raised by Princess Yufeng."
"Miss Xu is very close to Princess Yufeng?" Wu Chao asked.
The reputation of Princess Yufeng is quite resounding.
In addition to being difficult to get along with, it is also known to everyone that women inherit their mother's business and raise their reputation.
Xu Mingyi nodded and said truthfully: "Princess Yufeng and I have been in love since childhood."
——Fate?
After receiving this answer, Wu Chao felt inexplicably uneasy.
After taking two sips of tea, I still couldn't help but ask: "What does Miss Xu think of women raising their faces?"
He felt a little uncomfortable when he asked this question.
He has never been one to judge people behind their backs.
If anything, in his opinion, it is not enough for many men to have three wives and four concubines. In addition, they also go to brothels to raise wives. From a fair point of view, it is not impossible for a woman to not marry and raise a wife.
But in this world, it is indeed not something worth advocating.
All in all, his attitude towards this matter can be summarized in one word - it has nothing to do with him and he has no feelings.
As for why he wanted to ask Xu Mingyi at this time, he actually couldn't explain it.
"As long as it's not taken by force and it doesn't interfere with others, there's nothing wrong with you being willing to do it." Xu Mingyi said in a casual tone: "Of course, there must be two conditions -"
"What conditions?" Wu Chao calmly held the tea cup tightly.
"First of all, of course you have to have money."
After all, raising noodles is very expensive.
"Second, you have to not care about other people's opinions." Xu Mingyi said: "If you meet these two conditions, you will naturally be happy and live."
After hearing this, Wu Chao felt very excited.
It's over.
Ms. Xu seems to be completely satisfied with these two conditions.
"Miss Xu——" The young man thought carefully before speaking.
"Huh?" Xu Mingyi looked at him.
"Actually, there are many things in this world that can make people happy." There was a hint of persuasion in the young man's serious tone.
Xu Mingyi couldn't help but laugh.
Wu Chao was worried that she would also learn to keep her face beautiful!
"I don't even bother to raise a cat. How can I have the leisure to raise a group of living people." The girl answered directly without hesitation.
But she had heard from Jiao Jiao that those men would also be jealous of each other, and they would not risk their lives if they made trouble.
Wu Chao breathed a sigh of relief.
He suddenly felt that Miss Xu's impatience was also a great advantage.
"Besides, living is already very happy." The girl's eyes were full of contented smiles.
Being able to reunite with my family, being able to do what I want to do, being able to sit here and steal half a day to have tea and chat, being able to listen to the soft kittens meowing, and sitting in front of me is such a beautiful Wu Shisun——
