Chapter 272 Gift Box
It is very normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines these days. Even though Zheng Erba has passed the time, Chu Nanzhi dare not force Xiaobailian not to take concubines, let alone that she is ready to reconcile with him.
Hearing what the quadruplets said, she was a little at a loss.
In front of Liu Yun, Chu Nanzhi couldn't say much, so she could only coax her with a forced smile: "Well, in your father's heart, you only have mother and the four of you. women give birth to babies."
Such confident words directly blocked the mouths of everyone, Liu Yun was very satisfied, and the quadruplets were also very happy.
Dabao Lin Ruiwen held a small wooden sword in one hand, and pulled Chu Nanzhi in front of the two tiger treasures in the other, and said cheerfully: "Mother, look, tiger treasure is much more energetic than yesterday after drinking milk, even the color of his fur has turned white gone."
Chu Nanzhi took a closer look, and couldn't help showing surprise.
I saw that the hair color of the two tiger treasures changed from orange-yellow with black stripes to white with black stripes.
In the bright light, you can clearly see the pink noses, white to cream fur, and amber eyes of the tiger cubs, which are indeed somewhat different from ordinary tigers.
When I took out the two cubs from the tiger mother’s belly yesterday, they were covered in mucus and dirty. It was already late when I got back to Chu’s house, so I didn’t pay much attention to the two cubs. Now I’ll take a closer look. It suddenly reminded her of a rare animal she had seen when performing missions abroad—the Bengal white tiger.
That is an albino individual produced by a genetic mutation of a Bengal tiger.
In ancient times, this kind of tiger was usually regarded as a kind of fetish, and it would only appear when the emperor had a virtuous government or the world was peaceful.
Liu Yun also looked at it in disbelief, and said dumbfounded: "When I cleaned the sleeping nests of the tiger cubs in the morning, I saw that the tiger cubs were dingy. I thought the tiger cubs had some strange disease. How could it take so much time for a meal?" It has changed, the white tiger is an auspicious beast."
"There are no strange beasts."
Chu Nanzhi immediately interrupted Liu Yun, trying to be calm and said: "The tigers obviously have albinism, this is a disease, and it needs to be cured."
After finishing speaking, he quickly picked up the frame and walked upstairs to the west wing, and told the quadruplets: "The tigers have albinism and can't be taken around. I will put them in the upstairs wing first, Dabao, the four of you If you want to see Tiger Treasure, you can go upstairs to see it, but you have to promise your mother that you can't bring others up with you."
"it is good."
Dabao believed it was true, and answered decisively, and then showed worry on his face: "Then Aunt, will tiger treasures die if they get albinism?"
"Well, no, as long as we feed them milk every day, they will grow well."
Chu Nanzhi didn't dare to mention the white tiger to the little ones, it was just an ordinary animal, but if it was over-interpreted by the world, the white tiger is not only a divine beast, but also represents killing. It will inevitably lead to disaster.
Dabao was convinced of his mother’s words. He believed that mother would be able to heal the sick tiger babies, so he pulled his mother and said obediently: “Mother, from then on, I will come to feed the tiger babies drink milk every day.”
Chu Nanzhi nodded, leaving the little ones to practice calligraphy in the wing room, and went downstairs to prepare lunch with Liu Yun.
As for these strange things that came out of her dream, she still can't understand the mystery of them for the time being.
Luyan Port County Government Office
After arranging all the affairs in the yamen, Lin Jinxiao returned to the back hall and looked at the county affairs documents sent by the county magistrate Sun Wucai and the chief secretary Wen Liang.
Not long after, Dian Shi Li Ce walked in with a bag of things in his hand.
Lin Jinxiao saw that he was mysterious and didn't know what his intentions were, so he raised his eyes and asked, "Sanlang, why didn't you go to the county captain's mansion, what did you come here for?"
Li Ce covered his mouth with a smirk and said, "Brother, I gathered the deer whips, deer tails and antlers that the cooks cleaned for you. I think sister-in-law's cooking skills would be more to your liking. When you go back, remember to take it away and let my sister-in-law make it for you to take good care of your body."
"Li Sanlang, you just took office today, why are you so out of shape."
Lin Jinxiao reprimanded him angrily, looked at the package in his hand, which was still in a delicate box, and couldn't help but sneered, "Take it back and let your younger siblings make it for you, I think you are more useful than me. Got it."
"Brother, don't make fun of me. I don't need these, I'll put them away for you."
Li Ce put the exquisite gift box wrapped with deer antler and deer tail on the edge of the desk, moved closer to Lin Jinxiao, and continued in a low voice: "Brother, there is something else, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"
"What's up?"
Lin Jinxiao casually put down a roll of documents, and glanced at him lightly.
Li Ce looked at him cautiously: "Chen took Lin Jinyun and Qin Xianglian to kneel outside the county government office."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jinxiao's handsome expression immediately darkened, and then fell into an angry silence.
After a long time, he suddenly raised his head and sighed softly: "Since they like to kneel, let's kneel."
"Brother, this is not very good for your official voice."
Li Ce reminded worriedly.
Lin Jinxiao closed his eyes: "Then say I'm out."
"But what if they keep kneeling and refuse to leave?"
"Wait until after dark."
Lin Jinxiao thought for a while, then said sadly: "If they are still kneeling after dark, you can bring them in again."
"it is good."
Li Ce responded and left, although he hated the mother and daughter, but just after his elder brother took office, they knelt down at the gate of the county government office, this was obviously an embarrassment for his elder brother.
After all, he wasn't playing around in the village, so he didn't dare to underestimate him.
Arriving at noon, Lin Jinxiao had just finished eating when he saw the chief secretary Wen Liang leading a few people in.
Lin Jinxiao saw at first glance that it was the clan uncle Lin Tingzhen who led the three elders from the clan to enter.
Not allowing him to get up, Lin Tingzhen greeted him first, and said with a smile: "Good nephew, ah, Mr. Lin, you sit down, don't bother you to get up, the old man will come by himself."
After speaking, he led the three elders to find their own seats and sit down.
Lin Jinxiao glared coldly at the master secretary Wen Liang, who was so frightened that Wen Liang stroked his beard and immediately lowered his head, revealing a bitter expression on his face.
He had a good relationship with the Lin clan, and now Lin Tingzhen, who called himself "Uncle Emperor", came here, and there was no time to report, and several people broke in without authorization, and he had nothing to do.
After all, he is an old man in the county government office. Lin Jinxiao didn't want to scold Wen Liang in front of everyone on the first day he took office, so he suppressed his anger and said in a cold voice: "My lord, you should go out first, please send someone to deliver some tea." Come in."
After finishing speaking, continue to look through the documents and volumes on the desk.
Regarding the purpose of the Lin clan's visit today, one doesn't need to think deeply about it, and one knows that there is no good intention.
