Spring Forest Evening

Chapter 396

"Can rats bite people?" Zhou Heng couldn't help shivering when he asked this question. Rats are horrible creatures. They have never been heard of or seen in the palace before. In the 21st century, it is even more so. Unheard of.

Well, I finally saw that Miss Zhou was frightened, and now I feel like a daughter of a thousand gold again. The boss of the guard hurriedly helped to appease and explain:

"Miss, don't be afraid, the chicken and duck seller also said, as long as you remember to cover the cage tightly at night, it's best to put some heavy objects on it, and then hang it under the beam, generally there will be no problem, everyone does that Yes, and also, I heard us asking just now, and someone next to me said that I can raise a cat, if not, I will buy a few packs of rat poison later, so that the yard will be safe.”

Okay, no puppies, look back to see if I can buy a cat, Zhou Heng heaved a sigh of relief, turned his head and wanted to pull the little guy behind him to the front:

"My dear, we have chickens and ducklings, do you want to see what they look like? Don't be afraid, Auntie will protect you, come and see, it's fun!"

At first the little guy was still not very willing, but fortunately the few big chickens and ducks had been loosened and moved around in the yard at this time. Seeing them run away, the little guy finally became interested, and Zhou Heng He crouched down holding his little body, and he opened the lid to signal the little guy to look inside:

"Come on, Man, let's take a look, the chicks and ducklings are so cute!"

Two goose-yellow fluffy animals appeared tremblingly in the cage.

Seeing the little guy slowly squatting down with interest, Zhou Heng gently guided him to stretch out his little hand to touch:

"Ah, touch it, isn't it cute? My aunt told you that although they look similar, they are somewhat different. Look, this one has a pointed mouth, and the other one has a pointed mouth. Their mouths are flat, and their feet are also different. The flat one is connected in the middle. Auntie, my aunt told you, this is called webs. With this web, ducklings can swim in the water. Swim and swim, so, this is just a duckling, that's just a chicken, you know?"

The guards nearby were also listening silently. When Zhou Heng took the chickens and ducklings out of the cage and put them on the ground, he took a quick look at them and compared the big ones next to them. , It's really bad, I didn't expect this Miss Zhou to observe so carefully.

At this point, the maid woman who came out of the kitchen to ask them to eat did not find it surprising. Who has never seen chickens and ducks, but this group of people just let the chickens and ducks in the yard like this Running around and shitting, it really came from a rich family, so I couldn't help frowning and said to their guards:

"Oh, my little brothers, this is not acceptable. I have to sweep the yard several times a day, my old lady! How about this, you guys work hard and build a fence around it. It doesn't have to be too neat, and it doesn't have to be too neat to enclose them inside. If you can’t get out, it’s fine, and if you have any leftovers, you don’t have to worry about it, just leave it to me!”

"These two little ones should be put outside. Let the young master raise them and play. They can't run away! Take a small bowl and put some water and rice in it. Don't worry, they know what to eat by themselves. Wait until it's over." At night, we caught the big and small ones together and put them in cages and covered them tightly!"

The maid finished speaking in one breath, Zhou Heng couldn't help laughing:

"Okay, then we will follow your command!"

And said with a smile:

"Now our family, Ah Man, has something to do. From now on, he will be responsible for raising these two chicks and ducklings!"

Those who can be selected into the Huben Guard are not bad in mind and ability in all aspects. During the past few days, several guards felt that this Miss Zhou family and the prospective princess of Prince Jing's Mansion were actually far better than most of the Qianjin Misses. , Hearing what she said now, seeing the little prince who was less than four years old in front of him half-understood, and thinking of his murderous third aunt, the few of them thought about it again, and pondered Miss Zhou's intention this time.

When he was about to set off in the afternoon, he heard Zhou Heng tell the second and third children to find a way, saying that they should either bring back two simple and easy-to-learn books from Prince Jing’s side, or from Gyeonggi-do, where they came back. "Whether it's a fairy tale or a historical story, as long as it's a storybook," the guards felt even more admirable.

Although this Ms. Zhou was still a girl in her boudoir, she took orders when she was in danger, and she was calm and unhurried. As soon as she settled down, she began to raise the little prince in a decent manner.

Let him start the enlightenment of history, and at the same time let him get in touch with the basics of farming, especially let him learn to raise livestock by himself. Think optimistically, one day the prince will be crowned a great treasure, at least he will not be as cruel as his third aunt ?

Although they are the emperor's internal guards, and they have witnessed a shocking tragedy in the Taiye Pond before, their hearts are full of flesh. These young people in Hubenwei, because they were just elected, they were born in a time of peace , I haven't experienced the life-and-death struggle personally, and the only time I faced death was the fight in Cuiwei Palace, but I managed to get out of it, so now that I'm in this quiet mountain town, I still look forward to the past. Living a stable and peaceful life, I hope that in the future, I can smoothly protect this little prince to ascend to the throne, and get the merit of being a dragon.

But they have heard the words "accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger", so in their hearts, they still feel that it is best for this little prince to be kind by nature, so that he can become a benevolent king in the future. There has been no war for many years, and what the common people need most now is a successful king.

Forget about the third princess, she has seen too many killings in the past few days, if she becomes the emperor, the people below probably won't be able to sleep well.

If Zhou Heng knew about these thoughts, he might laugh out loud:

Please, let them bring books, just because I'm bored too, okay?I face a three-year-old child all day, can you think about it for me too?

As for raising chickens and ducklings, it’s not that you can’t buy puppies, and the chickens and ducklings are easy to manage and won’t bite people. For children, they are safe and cute.Besides, if they are raised well, they can still lay eggs when they grow up, how nice it is!

Shen Fu, who received the report from the guards that night, learned that his family, A Heng, had lived in the shabby house in Tangquan Town with his little one. Raising chickens and ducklings and living a life like a farm housewife, my eyes were sore, I didn't know how to describe my complicated mood, I just stared blankly at the candlelight, in which there was faintly The beautiful face of the sweetheart with bright eyes and bright teeth, for a moment, the longing that was suppressed due to the busy day suddenly surged up...
