Chapter 1011： The belated cat guy

Chapter 1011: The cat brother who is belatedly aware of the situation

Brother Cat was also happy and asked, "Guardian Mu, where does this come from?"

Mu Jue raised his hands in salute and responded, "I was about to go to the barracks dock. The princess asked me to bring some snacks to General Li. I heard that the seventh young master was here, so I came up to take a look."

Brother Cat nodded, quickly asked him to sit down, and asked about his sister's situation in the palace.

He has been writing an overseas travel diary recently. He stayed in the academy to check some ancient books for the past two days, but he still doesn’t know about the palace gate.

Mu Jue didn’t talk too much, and only picked up some trivial things to talk about, such as the emperor’s constant rewards and the freshly baked snacks in Zhilan Palace every day.

Brother Cat was naturally relieved and wanted to ask about the military camp on the pier, but the students next door became more and more clueless, and the noise became louder and louder. They even started to attack the southwest border gate guarded by the Lu family.

Brother Cat put down the tea bowl heavily and wanted to go over and say a few words.

Mu Jue pulled his arm and said with a smile, "Seventh Young Master, do you think Prince Lu is who he says he is?"

“Of course not!” Brother Cat frowned and shook his head.

Mu Jue smiled more and more confidently, "Then what these people say is not the truth. Since it is not the truth, the seventh young master should not care. After all, the pure will self-purify.

“And to say the least, Prince Lu must have countermeasures against the recent rumors, and he will not allow outsiders to slander him like this.

“If you go over and argue with these people now, it will harm your own business. It may also make the rumors worse and cause more trouble to Prince Lu.”

Brother Cat thought about it for a while, but didn’t insist. He simply responded, “Forget it, out of sight is out of mind, I’d better go buy a birthday gift.”

"That's right," Mu Jue also stood up and said with a smile, "The one the princess is most concerned about in the palace is the seventh young master. I will be happy to know that you are so stable now."

Brother Cat's face improved a lot after being coaxed. After chatting for a while, they went downstairs together.

Mu Jue went to the backyard to get some snacks. Brother Cat said hello to Shopkeeper Peng and went out to the street.

After a while, I chose two pieces of good ink in the calligraphy and painting shop. As soon as the sun flickered when I went out, Brother Cat suddenly felt a tremor in his heart and turned around to ask Zheng Qi.

“Zheng Qi, you said that Guard Mu just tried to stop me in every possible way...didn’t he want me to get involved too much with Brother Lu?”

Zheng Qi scratched the back of his head and chuckled, "I don't know either, young master. However, Brother Mu is the smartest and has never suffered a loss in his actions. We all feel that it is right to listen to his words."

Brother Cat still felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out, so he simply threw it behind him and hurried back to the academy.

Li Laosan was repairing two rickety benches in the cafeteria yard. When he saw his nephew coming back, he smiled and said, "Brother Cat is back. Are you hungry? Do you want to make you something to eat first?" abdomen?"

Brother Cat tucked up his gown, stepped forward to hold his hand, and said, "No need, Third Uncle, I ate snacks among the white clouds and my stomach is full. I also met Guard Mu and asked how my sister was doing in the palace. "

Li Laosan is also thinking about his niece, so he quickly asked.

Brother Cat simply said something, and finally told those students what Mu Jue said to dissuade him from gossiping.

“Third Uncle, am I too worried?” Cat Brother moved a step and let Third Uncle stand in the shade of the tree.

Li Laosan patted his nephew on the shoulder and said without further explanation, "Guard Mu is a mature young man, and now he is helping our family. He must be more considerate than you when encountering problems. You should be right to listen to him more. He just can’t harm you!

“Your second uncle sent a message saying that the city has not been quiet recently and asked you to go less often.”

"I understand, Third Uncle." Brother Cat quickly responded, "I'm not buying birthday gifts, and I won't go into the city. I won't leave the academy for a while. I'll stay here with you."

"Good boy!" Li Laosan was coaxed by his nephew into smiling, "Your brothers have all gone out to be officials, but luckily you are still here. Just now, some big fish were brought from outside, and I will cook boiled fish for you in the evening. It makes you sweat profusely and relieves the heat."

At this time, Zhi Min, Xiu Jie, and Guo Wenhao happened to come in from outside. Hearing this, Xiu Jie, who has the most lively temperament, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Uncle, do we have a share in the boiled fish?" I want to eat, too!"

Li Laosan smiled even more heartily and shouted over and over again, "Yes, there is everything! Our family is short of everything except food, so you can eat freely."

The boys all laughed and shouted for help. There are just two chairs, so why do we need so many people?

So Li Laosan sent them to drink juice and chat.

Four boys gathered together, some were handsome, some were elegant, some were cheerful, some were reserved, each with his or her own characteristics. When they were laughing and joking, the look in their brows would make even the scorching sun shine...

Outside Xindu, only a dozen miles away, a group of carriages and horses was approaching.

Although there were only a dozen or so cars, they were fully loaded. The drivers and guards were all very tired, and it was obvious that they had traveled a long way.

Soon, they arrived near the city gate.

Some idlers waiting to enter the city saw him from a distance and couldn't help but talk about it.

“Which state capital is sending tribute again?”

“I don’t know, look at it, there are a lot of good things in the car.”

Those who say this are all envious people, but there are also people who say the opposite and curl their lips and say, "Even if it is a good thing, so what? It has nothing to do with us!"

"That's true!" His friend agreed, "The good things have entered the palace, and I am afraid that they will be sent to the noble concubine within a short time."

“Your Majesty is really devoted. He has pampered your concubine for a long time and he still doesn’t get bored.”

"You didn't know this, but the emperor doesn't like his concubine very much. It's because of the second prince. A mother is more valuable than a son!"

"That makes sense! The emperor really values ​​the second prince. No wonder everyone has been trying so hard to fawn over him recently. They all know the emperor's thoughts."

Everyone spoke without any sense of propriety, and gradually their curiosity about the motorcade shifted to the affairs of the court and the harem.

As a result, the convoy passed by the city gate but did not enter. It turned down the path and went straight to Broken Gold Beach.

Everyone was surprised and changed their words again.

“Oh, we all guessed wrong. This is the Li family’s motorcade.”

“I heard that the number one scholar who had been sent to the Li family had gone to take up his post. He has returned successfully.”

“Thousands of miles away, walking so fast?”

"The Li family's convoy is used to traveling outside. Others may find it difficult, but it is very easy for them."

“I just don’t know what good things I have brought back this time.”

“Don’t worry, if there are good things, you can buy them at the Li family’s shop in a few days.”

“That’s right, hurry into the city and eat a bowl of ice cream among the white clouds to relieve the heat. It’s so hot.”

“Don’t talk about ice cream, just an ice brick! My throat is on fire!”

The common people are like this. No matter what happens, they are just gossip to relieve their boredom. What they really care about is always their own eating, drinking and urination.

In a blink of an eye, the Li family's motorcade passed by and the idlers entered the city, ending their temporary interactions and going their separate ways.

 Broken Gold Beach became a lot more lively because of the return of Lao Hei and others.
