I, the fox clan, Arita!

Shen Ziyue wasn't angry when his wine glass was robbed, he just smiled and said, "Of course I won't forget about Yu'er."

"Then tell me quickly," Yuzhang said.

Shen Ziyue turned to Lingshu and asked: "My Yu'er wants to open a shop for fun. I heard from him that you have a business that is sure to make money without losing money. What kind of business is it?"

Ling Shu stopped his chopsticks and said with a smile: "It's just a small business, it's nothing compared to the property under Shen Jiushao's hands, but I have something I want Shen Jiushao to help you with. How about these 'Green Ruyi' dishes?"

"The food is really good," Shen Ziyu nodded, "it even exceeded my expectations."

Except for those dishes whose main ingredient is green bean sprouts, other dishes are also ingenious. Lingshu only introduced some of them, and there are a few dishes that everyone on the table should see often, so he didn't say much.

"Then how about I teach you the planting method of 'Lu Ruyi' for free in your subordinate Zhuangzi, and give you the recipes of hawthorn sauce, preserved fruit, and hawthorn cake for free?"

Hearing this, Wei Xiuya looked at Lingshu slightly in surprise, and asked, "Xiaoshu, what do you want to do?"

He has lived here for such a long time, so he naturally knows that the methods of making hawthorn are the most important part of the Yan family's income, and the green soybean sprouts grown in Lingshu now, even a layman like him knows , "Lvruyi" will make more money than hawthorn sauce and the like.

These two things are created by Lingshu, and the entire Daqing Dynasty is unique, and no other family will know it. If it is any other family that has mastered this unique skill, it will definitely do everything possible to hide it. I am afraid of being learned by outsiders.

If you are worried about the crime of being pregnant, as long as you are a businessman with a little brains, you will resell your unique skills at a high price, or get a backer and cooperate with the powerful.

Now that Lingshu said that he wanted to give the prescription to his little uncle, did he also have such an idea?

If this is the case, Wei Xiuya has to sigh, the young man in front of him is really too smart.

Ling Shu glanced at Wei Xiuya, then at Shen Ziyue, gestured as if he was at the negotiating table, and said, "These snacks made from hawthorn and green bean sprouts are really cheap. They are comparable to silk, The profiteering trade of ceramics and salt is incomparable, but in the Daqing Dynasty, the powerful and rich were a minority after all, most of them were ordinary people, and most of the people who bought these cheap snacks were them. You are wise, you should know how much demand this is!"

"My family can't meet this kind of demand, even your Imperial Merchant Shen's family can't meet it. There are endless businesses in this world," Ling Shu said clearly, with confidence all over his body. Fa, "Besides, the Shen family is in the capital city, separated from our Dingchun town by thousands of mountains and rivers. Of course, I won't worry that the Shen family will steal our business by imitating my family's craftsmanship."

"Having said so much, I certainly didn't give Shen Jiushao the prescriptions and methods for nothing. If so, let alone Jiu Shao, even I would suspect that I had ulterior motives," Lingshu laughed, "Actually, I just I want Shen Jiushao to help deliver 'Lu Ruyi' to the emperor."

After Lingshu's last words, the eyes of the whole table fell on him, and the whole room fell silent.

After a long time, Shen Ziyue took the lead in applauding, and said without hesitation: "It's wonderful! It's also very ambitious, I like it! It's not in vain that I ran all the way from the capital to this small village to be wronged. For nothing!"

If before, Shen Ziyue only thought that Lingshu, a peasant boy, had some brains and some good ideas, but they were all small troubles, and Shen Jiuye couldn't let him take him to heart, but now, after listening to what Lingshu said, With these words, Shen Ziyue immediately looked at Ling Shu with admiration.

Now in Shen Ziyue's eyes, Lingshu = pretty good-looking, good at cooking, and talented little beauty.

Wei Xiuya glanced at Shen Ziyue warningly, which meant: Don't get distracted, this is my man.

Shen Ziyue held Yuzhang's hand under the table to play with, and gave Wei Xiuya a look, saying that I already have a beauty now, so I don't care.

Wei Xiuya withdrew his gaze, the cold and hard lines on his face softened, and he patted Lingshu's head lovingly.

Lingshu's face was flushed, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she asked Shen Ziyue: "Then——can Shen Jiushao help me with this?"

Shen Ziyue asked with great interest: "How do you know that I can see the emperor? Although it is true that my family is an imperial merchant, I am not the one who is in charge now."

Wei Xiuya glanced at him, then turned to Lingshu and said, "You don't need his help, I will help you."

"Really?!" Ling Shu was overjoyed and grabbed Wei Xiuya's hand.

He had already guessed that Wei Xiuya's status was extraordinary, but he didn't expect Wei Xiuya to talk about meeting the emperor so easily.

With a smile in his eyes, Wei Xiuya held Lingshu's hand instead, affirming, "Of course it's true."

Lingshu reacted a little slower, only then did he realize what he had done just now, and pulled his hand back with a flushed face.

"I said," Shen Ziyue looked at the dishes made of green bean sprouts on the table and raised his eyebrows, "If it's just these dishes, I'm afraid they are not qualified to present to the emperor, right?"

Lingshu immediately said: "These are home-cooked dishes, and the emperor will definitely not like them, but I also know one dish that is most suitable for sending to the palace. I can guarantee that it is unique in the whole Daqing Dynasty! It's just that the workmanship is very complicated. It also needs special tools, and I can’t do it by myself, and if I really want to present it to the emperor, I have to ask some experienced chefs to help.”

"Okay, let's just trust you. My family needs a lot of cooks," Shen Ziyue said, "But even if it is to send the dishes to the palace, it is best for you to go to the capital to give advice. It is almost the end of the new year, and we have to When you go back to Beijing for the New Year, you, Lingshu, will go with you and cook the dishes you mentioned during the New Year's Eve."

"Master Shen Jiu is willing to help me too?" Ling Shu said.

Shen Zi smiled and said: "The Zhuangzi in my hands will also grow the 'green ruyi' vegetables from now on, so helping me is the same as helping myself?"

Ling thought inadvertently that Young Master Shen Jiu was going back to the capital for the New Year, so what about Wei Xiuya?

"Are you going back to the capital too?" Ling Shu looked at Wei Xiuya and asked him.

"Go back," Wei Xiuya said, "you come with me."

Wow--!Very good!

You don't have to separate from him!Lingshu thought secretly.

It is said that the farthest place he went to in the Daqing Dynasty was a few small towns around him, and he had never even been to the county seat. Now he will go to the capital all at once, and he is a little excited.

Don't know what the capital looks like?The ancient bustling city must have a unique style!

After agreeing on the itinerary, Lingshu also breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to talk about the store that Yuzhang was about to open.

"Sell some delicate pastries," Lingshu said, "It's not the same as what everyone usually eats. I'll just give the recipe to Yuzhang. Young master Shen Jiu, don't you mind?"

Shen Ziyue didn't pay attention to the small business of cakes, so he naturally didn't mind it, raised his hand to shave Yuzhang's face, and said, "As long as my Yu'er is happy."

"Okay, I'll write all of these into the terms in the future," Ling Shu said.

Wei Xiuya asked, "Is it the kind you made for me?"

He was talking about the cream cake that Lingshu made for him before.

Lingshu nodded.

Wei Xiuya laughed, and looked at Shen Ziyue meaningfully. He had a premonition that his little uncle, who was always in danger, was going to overturn this time, "Shen Ziyue, you will regret it."

"What regrets?" Shen Ziyue misunderstood, and said disapprovingly, "It's just a pastry shop, no matter how much it loses, where can I lose it? For the sake of my family, Yu'er, can I be reluctant to part with this little money?"

Lingshu just laughed and didn't speak.

Wei Xiuya said to Shen Ziyue again: "Eat quickly, let Wei Ba take you to the town while it's still early, and Uncle Wu is at home, just tell him if you have anything to do."

"I'm not leaving tonight," Shen Ziyue said, "I haven't lived in a farmyard yet, since I've been here once, I have to feel it."

"There are no extra houses here." Wei Xiuya said.

Shen Zi looked at Cheng Yi more, "Then I'll stay at Brother Cheng's house for one night, Brother Cheng, don't you mind?"

"You're welcome," Cheng Yi said with a smile, "but my place is poorer than Lingdi's place, I'm afraid Brother Shen won't even come in when we see him."

Lingshu said: "Why don't you stay in my room, the furniture is all new."

Yuzhang looked up and asked him, "Then where do you sleep?"

Of course I slept with Wei Xiuya!

Lingshu almost blurted out the words, but fortunately he covered his mouth with his hands at the last moment.

Seeing Lingshu's action, Wei Xiuya couldn't help thinking of the little fox that climbed up his window every night.

Many of the little fox's little movements were exactly the same as Lingshu's.

"I'll just make a floor bed in my parents' room." Lingshu said.

"No," Wei Xiuya resolutely denied, he didn't want Ling Shu to sleep on the floor, "Let them go to Brother Cheng, and Xiao Shu doesn't need to worry about it."

Ling Shu thought, I haven’t stayed in my room for one night since I finished it. When I was trying to grow bean sprouts, it was full of wooden boxes. I would lay the floor in my parents’ room, or I would become a fox and stay with you. Sleep, Shen Jiushao and the others don't live in that house, which is also empty.

But seeing that Wei Xiuya was so firm, he had no choice but to give up.

After the meal, Shen Ziyue took Yuzhang and left with Cheng Yi.

Ling Shu and Wei Ba cleaned up the dishes, quickly went back to the room to wash up, and turned into little foxes, they couldn't wait to sneak into Wei Xiuya's room.

Wei Xiuya ate a bit too much at night, so he didn't sleep at the moment. He was sitting in front of the desk and practicing calligraphy. There was a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, but he didn't drink a sip. With two chicken legs.

The little fox ran to Wei Xiuya's feet with ease, raised his front paws and pulled the skirt of his clothes.

Wei Xiuya put down the brush in his hand, bent down and picked up the little fox to his lap, reached out and took a chicken leg from the plate on the table, and handed it to the little fox's mouth.

"You did a good job, I'll give you a reward." Wei Xiuya patted the little fox's head lightly, "Eat it."

Lingshu: ...

Who told you that foxes like to eat chicken legs? !

And this chicken leg is obviously what I cooked for dinner, okay!

No wonder at that time I saw you picked up two chicken legs and didn't eat them. I thought you were going to have a midnight snack by yourself.

It turned out to be for the little fox, ah no, it was for me.

What's the matter with being a little upset all of a sudden?

I knew I was thinking about the little fox!

Can't I be a big living person in front of you?

The little fox angrily pushed the drumstick away with his paws, and turned his head away.

"Don't like to eat?" Wei Xiuya held the little fox's pointed chin to make him turn around, and asked, "Aren't you happy?"

The little fox had "I'm not happy" written all over its body. Wei Xiuya found it very interesting. The little fox seemed to be getting more and more energetic. Could it be because of being with people for a long time?

"Who bullied you?" Wei Xiuya asked again.

you.

Lingshu felt wronged.

Why are you so gentle with my fox body!

How dare you be so kind to my human form!

Sure enough, you only like fluffy, right?

Wei Xiuya put the chicken legs back, wiped his hands, rubbed the little fox's head and said, "Has Xiaoshu ever made a cake for you? It's soft and sweet, you must like it, I'll let him make some tomorrow, okay?" good?"

not good!

Don't do it!

Wait, don't you want to eat it yourself?

Speaking of which Wei Xiuya has lived in Yan's house for so many days, Lingshu has never made cakes for him again, all because the cakes use milk, no one in the village raises cows, and now there is no tool for making foam. Eggs and milk had to be frothed by hand. In the Shangwei Mansion in Dingchun Town, the kitchen boys helped to beat them, but there was no one to help them in Yan's house, and Lingshu didn't want to beat them by himself.

Wei Xiuya scratched the chin of the awkward little fox in a funny way, hugged the little fox to the desk, put it aside, and said, "Let me draw a picture for you, would you like it?"

The little fox instantly pricked up his ears, wanting to!want--!

Ink painting hey!

Draw me, draw me!

The little fox opened his eyes wide, and looked at Wei Xiuya with very, very, very expectant eyes.

Wei Xiuya nodded the little fox's nose and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll draw you."

Wow!marvelous!Give you a thumbs up!

The little fox suddenly became happy, stood up straight, put two small front paws on Wei Xiuya's shoulders, leaned over and licked his face fiercely.

"It's alright, alright, alright," Wei Xiuya helplessly grabbed the little fox away, "Are you happy now?"

Uh-huh!happy!

The little fox is nodding.

Wei Xiuya's pupils suddenly shrank.

This time he was absolutely right!

The little fox really nodded!

Then the last time he saw the little fox shaking his head, it must not be an illusion!

Is it a ghost?

Wei Xiuya took a deep breath secretly, hiding his complicated thoughts, and instead of reminding the little fox to scare the snake, he only raised his chin and said, "Go and pose in a pose you like."

His tone was not as soft as before, and became a little stiff.

Ling Shu was in high spirits, so he didn't notice Wei Xiuya's slight change at all.

He was walking up and down on the desk, a little too excited, the picture that the beauty made for me!

Thinking about it, I really feel a bit evocative, hehehe.

Lingshu sat down next to the pen stand for the last time, and then posed in a side-lying position, with his big fluffy tail in order, raised his chin, and looked sideways at Wei Xiuya.

Lazy and elegant, isn't it!

Hmm... there should be a little temptation.

If the opponent is a fox male, he will definitely be fascinated by me!

It's a pity that Wei Xiuya is not...

It's not bad anyway, Wei Xiuya already likes fluffy fluffy.

But at this moment, Wei Xiuya stared deeply at the little white fox in front of him.

The little fox can not only understand what he said, but also make such a humane response.

If it were any kittens, puppies, or wild foxes in the mountains, no matter how clever they were, when it heard the words "Pose in a pose you like", Wei Xiuya dared to say that those little animals would definitely do it. With a ignorant face, he might turn around and point his butt at himself, or just play on his own.

It is absolutely impossible for them to pose in such a beautiful pose like the little fox in front of them.

Wei Xiuya closed his eyes and suddenly felt dizzy in his brain.

Now the little fox lying on his desk has become a spirit.

It's a real monster.

The vixen in the story book is designed to become a beautiful woman, seduce and seduce men, and suck their energy dry.

Will this little fox turn into a human?

Does it fancy itself?

It's better to take advantage of it not paying attention... Wei Xiuya touched the dagger hanging on his waist that he never left his body.

No.

Still calm down first.

Wei Xiuya's mind started to run at high speed.

If the little fox wanted to suck his energy, it would be too stupid.

Besides, since he lived in Yan's house, no mountain elves and ghosts have ever heard of troubles near this village, which means that this little fox has never done anything harmful.

Moreover, it was raised by Lingshu, the master and pet were so similar in their movements and demeanor, presumably Lingshu should love this little fox very much, if this little fox disappeared for no reason, Lingshu would be sad.

Of course Wei Xiuya didn't want to make Lingshu sad.

But he wouldn't let Lingshu know the truth either.

Let Lingshu always treat this little fox as an ordinary fox.

Wei Xiuya took a deep breath, and made a decision, if this little fairy does not harm anyone in the future, he will keep it, but if it does something bad, he will kill it immediately.

After thinking about it, Wei Xiuya relaxed slightly, and picked up a brush.

He would never admit that he didn't do anything to the little fox now, because he slept with the little fox almost every night during these days, so he was reluctant to part with it, and his heart softened.

Seeing that Wei Xiuya had been silent and not drawing, Ling Shu couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and urged him with a "woo woo".

You should draw quickly!

It's tiring to keep this posture, okay?

Wei Xiuya smiled at him and comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll start painting right now."

Lingshu didn't know that he had walked through the gate of hell just now, so he just adjusted his posture and raised his small chin again, looking proud.

Wei Xiuya drew very quickly.

Originally, he had been familiar with the little fox for a long time these days, and he was very familiar with the expression and behavior of the little fox.

After about half an hour, Wei Xiuya stopped writing.

"It's painted."

call--

Ling Shu let out a long breath.

I saw the elegant and beautiful little white fox half-lying on the desk, suddenly collapsed, like a discouraged ball, with a face full of lovelessness.

I'm almost a useless fox.

I really want to stick my tongue out.

No no no!

I am a reserved fox, how could I do such an indecent move!

Wei Xiuya couldn't help but want to laugh at the little fox's appearance, but when he thought that this was a vixen who had become a spirit, Wei Xiuya held back again.

"Why don't you take a look?" Wei Xiuya said.

Not coming!

Being a model is so tiring!I will never do it again!

My poor little paws are stiff!

The little fox lay paralyzed on the desk, raised the tip of Mao Mao's tail, and swayed weakly from side to side, indicating that he didn't want to get up.

Wei Xiuya rested his chin on one hand and looked at the little fox.

This little fox... fine, the whole body is exposed in front of him, he is so undefended to himself, if he stabs it now, the little thing may not be able to react.

so silly.

Is it really a qualified fairy?

Regardless of whether the little fox in front of him... is fine, whether he is qualified or not, Wei Xiuya doesn't care much now.

He had beheaded countless enemies' heads on the battlefield, and he was full of evil spirits. He didn't believe that there was any spirit in this world who would dare to kill him!

What's more, this little vixen is very soft-tempered, Wei Xiuya even has some doubts, the little thing will be frightened when he sees a dagger.

Since the little thing is willing to accompany him, he is willing to make it happy.

After Wei Xiuya figured it out, he leisurely blew on the little fox, causing the soft fur on the little fox's body to sway and create a vortex.

"If you don't want to see this painting, then I'll put it away." Wei Xiuya said.

Don't take it!

The little fox came back to life in a second and bounced up violently.

I want to see it!

Seeing the little fox rushing towards him, Wei Xiuya couldn't help shaking his head amusedly.

The little fox stepped on the paper with four short legs, looking at the painting in front of him.

A fluffy little fox is lying on the drawing paper, with a bit of baby fat on its face, with an innocent and charming expression, from the tip of its ears to the tip of its tail, the words "I'm so cute!" are written all over its body. People can't help showing a knowing smile.

No, no!

this is not me!

What about the lazy, elegant, noble and reserved fox handsome boy? !

Wei Xiuya, you liar!big liar!

What you draw is not me at all!

Ling Shu was so angry that he ground his teeth.

No!

No one can see this painting and laugh at me!

Lingshu's eyeballs rolled around, and his eyes fell on the inkstone next to him. He raised a paw and dipped the ink in the inkstone, and then stepped on the painting!

I step on, I step on!

Eh?What about painting?

Lingshu saw a flash in front of his eyes, and the painting disappeared. He stared at the desk in bewilderment.

Holding the painting in his hand, Wei Xiuya blew on the two small paw prints on it, rolled up the painting calmly, and said, "This is just right, originally I wanted you to step on it a few times." A seal, it seems that you also like this painting? I haven’t said it yet, you can’t wait, don’t worry, I’ll put it away for you, and it won’t be lost.”

Ahhhh stop!

You put down the painting for me!

Lingshu rushed towards Wei Xiuya suddenly, but he didn't know what cleverness Wei Xiuya used to avoid the little fox's claws easily.

Lose it, lose it!

Shame!

Even if I was killed, I would never admit that the painting was me!

Wei Xiuya finished the picture scroll and put it on the side of the desk, the little fox immediately rushed towards the picture again, only to find that his entire fox was in mid-air.

He was hugged by Wei Xiuya.

put me down!

I must destroy that painting!

let me down!

The little fox was so angry that he patted Wei Xiuya's face with his paw.

"Hey, don't make trouble," Wei Xiuya grabbed his little paw and said helplessly, "Why are you still so hot-tempered? You are so cute in the painting, I like it very much."

Lingshu:! ! !

Ahhhhhhhh really? ! !

The little fox looked at Wei Xiuya with bright eyes, as if he was asking him, asking him for proof.

Wei Xiuya smiled and said, "Of course it's true."

He said this with all his heart.

Just now he grabbed this little thing casually and hugged it in his arms. It is so weak that it can't reach him any threat at all.

Wei Xiuya originally thought this little fox was very cute, but now that he has let go of his defenses, his love for the little fox remains the same as before.

He even thought in his heart that since this little thing knows everything, it should be easier and more harmonious for them to get along in the future.

Ling Shu wagged his tail and licked Wei Xiuya's lips.

I like you too!
