Seeing Shen Yian get off the car, the two men immediately walked towards this side quickly, respectfully calling Shen Yian "Marquis".

It was Lord Yao, the Minister of Works, and Miss Yao Wu.

Shen Qing raised his eyebrows slightly. Lord Yao came so quickly. Was he afraid that he would lose his official hat?

Shen Yian had no idea what happened. After Shen Shuyu explained it to him, he said with displeasure: "Lord Yao really raised a good daughter. He even ignored Princess Jing'an and my daughter from the Marquis of Yining Mansion. How come your Yao family is the only one in Shengjing now?"

Lord Yao was shocked by these words. Shen Yian dared to say that he dared not listen!

"Lord, you are embarrassing me. It is my fault. I usually neglected to discipline my daughter, which led to today's mistake. I will let her reflect on it after I go back."

Lord Yao looked flattering, which made Miss Yao Wu even more scared.

Even her father, a second-rank official, had to kowtow to him, how could she afford to offend him!

Fearing that Shen Qing would secretly trip her up, Miss Yao Wu quickly spoke up, saying the lines that Miss Yao San had taught her before coming: "Princess Jing'an, Miss Shen, Zhiyue really knows she was wrong, and shouldn't act arrogantly based on her status. Zhiyue promises to reflect on herself after returning and never do such stupid things again. Please forgive Zhiyue this time, Princess and Miss Shen."

As she spoke, her head had already lowered to her chest.

Her attitude was completely different from this afternoon.

A hint of interest flashed across Shen Qing's eyebrows. Yao Zhiyue was not the type to be humble. This was probably taught by Miss Yao San.

Miss Yao San was also a smart person.

"Forget it, it's not a big deal. Today is New Year's Eve, and it's getting late. Lord Yao should take Miss Wu back to rest."

Shen Qing had already spoken, so Shen Yian naturally didn't say anything else. He waved his hand and let the two go.

Until they walked a long way, Lord Yao said to Yao Zhiyue with a look of disappointment: "It's just that you performed well just now, otherwise I would punish you severely no matter what."

When he thought that Yao Zhiyue's words just now were taught by Miss Yao San, Lord Yao couldn't help but sigh. Among all his children, he was most optimistic about Miss Yao San, but she was the one who got into trouble.

If Miss Yao San hadn't had an accident, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne and the harem is empty, she would be the most suitable to enter the palace as a queen.

Originally, Lord Yao was thinking of sending Yao Zhiyue to the palace if Miss Yao San was not good enough, but until today's incident, Lord Yao completely gave up this idea.

Sending Yao Zhiyue to the palace, wasn't he afraid that their Yao family would not die fast enough!

The next day, at the beginning of the year, the sound of firecrackers could be heard outside the mansion just after dawn. The noise was so loud that even Shen Qing, who lived in the center of the mansion, could hear it.

Tuanzi, who was lazily lying in Shen Qing's arms, meowed in dissatisfaction, with a look of grievance on her round little face, and then opened her eyes, revealing a pair of golden eyes to Shen Qing.

Shen Qing stroked its fluffy head and said in surprise: "It's only been seven or eight days, how come both eyes have turned pure gold?"

As if sensing the changes in his body, Tuanzi picked up Shen Qing's finger, looked at Shen Qing with a pair of golden eyes, and then lowered his head and bit it directly.

"Hiss!"

Shen Qing felt pain, but did not pull back her finger.

Tuanzi has always been docile, and he shouldn't bite her for no reason.

Bright red blood oozed from the fingertips and condensed into blood beads the size of soybeans.

Tuanzi slowly leaned over and rubbed the drop of blood. The bright red blood rubbed on Tuanzi's white hair, which had a strange beauty.

At this moment, Shen Qing saw that her blood strangely disappeared on Tuanzi, as if it had been completely absorbed.

At the same time, Tuanzi's white hair became brighter and brighter, and a few noble golden colors could be seen faintly.

Shen Qing was even more puzzled. Could it be that it had awakened some blood again?

But awakening blood shouldn't be so strange.

The next moment, Shen Qing only felt that a few strange messages suddenly appeared in his mind. After feeling it clearly, Shen Qing was speechless.

It was Tuanzi, it said it was hungry.

But what shocked Shen Qing was why she could feel Tuanzi's thoughts?

Could it be that Tuanzi was also a Gu worm? A large Gu worm?

And the drop of blood just now was the contract.

Shen Qing had seen the scene of Lu Yan's contract with Fusang Gu before, and it was probably like this.

As soon as Shen Qing finished thinking, Tuanzi's thoughts came again--

It is not a Gu worm, but a complete Gu beast, male.

And the drop of blood just now was indeed a contract. From now on, Shen Qing is its contract master, just like Lu Yan and Fusang Gu.

Shen Qing was a little caught off guard when he suddenly joined the ranks of raising Gu, but he still did not forget his original intention. What exactly is a Gu beast?

This involves Tuanzi's knowledge blind spot, so Tuanzi just responded to Shen Qing vaguely--

It doesn't know what Gu beasts are specifically, but only knows that Gu beasts are more advanced than Gu worms. The best proof is that they can restrain Gu worms and have perfect expression ability as soon as they are fully awakened.

Seeing that Tuanzi didn't know much, Shen Qing didn't ask again, but it can be expected that if Nanjiang really returns to attack Da Chu in the future, Tuanzi will definitely play an unexpected role.

After all, he is more awakened than his parents and brother, so he should be able to play more roles.

"Princess, you're awake." As soon as the thought came to an end, Chanyi's voice came from outside the door.

Shen Qing responded, Chanyi pushed the door open, and waited for Shen Qing to get up and get dressed. Tuanzi lay lazily aside. When Shen Qing was about to go out, he skillfully jumped onto Shen Qing's shoulder, and he had to follow. Let's go have a meal together.

Perhaps because of the contract he had just made with Shen Qing, Tuanzi would always stay close to Shen Qing during meals today. Chanyi could see such an obvious change at a glance, "What's wrong with Tuanzi? He seems to be particularly clingy to the princess today." ”

Shen Qing continued to eat without raising his head, "Don't worry about it, it's probably because it's New Year and the cat is lonely, so it wants to find someone to keep it company."

Chanyi felt that what Shen Qing said made sense, and nodded in agreement, "What the princess said is, I remember that Young Master Mo said that Tuanzi was born on the first day of the year two years ago. In this way, today is exactly two days old." Years old, it’s grown up among cats, and it’s time to find a little female cat for it.”

Xu Shi understood Chan Yi's words, and the dumplings, which were leisurely licking the bird's nest in the bowl just a moment ago, suddenly stopped and subconsciously looked at Shen Qing.

Shen Qing was a little confused, could Tuanzi still understand human speech?

Sure enough, the next moment, Tuanzi's message came to my mind——

Don't find me little female cats, they are not worthy of my noble bloodline.

Shen Qing: "..."

Why did the world become so mysterious after just one night?

Her mind became increasingly restless, fearing that Tuanzi would surprise her again. After breakfast, Shen Qing asked Chanyi to take Tuanzi back to her room. She had to be quiet!

As soon as Chanyi walked away with the dumplings in her arms, the secret guard responsible for delivering messages from Prince Jing'an's palace came from behind.

Shen Qing was a little surprised. It had just been delivered yesterday, so could it have arrived again today?

The secret guard stepped forward and explained, "Princess, the prince sent back a total of two letters yesterday, but I told you in advance that this one will not be sent to you until early today."

Shen Qing understood it immediately. He took the letter from the secret guard and opened it. Inside, there was still the familiar handwriting of Lu Yan——

Jiaojiao, today is the first day of the year. As expected, you should be at the Yining Marquis Mansion now, right?

I heard from the secret guard that the weather in Shengjing has been bad these past two days, and it has been extremely cold outside. However, it is the time for a gathering, so you must go out, so remember to wear more clothes.

The New Year gift I prepared for you cannot be delivered to you in person, but you have to open it in person...

The three pages of eloquent letter paper were filled with Lu Yan's longing for Shen Qing. It was not until the last two lines that the topic always changed——

If I guess correctly, yesterday's reply is already on the way. You will definitely have to reply to me today, so you should give more monthly money to the secret guards who deliver the letter.

On my first day in the border area, I really miss sharing the same bed with you. I haven't slept well for several nights in a row and have a bit of a headache. I hope the war will calm down soon so that I can return to Shengjing to see you soon.

After reading the entire letter, Shen Qing felt warm in her heart. She obviously had the same wish as Lu Yan: the war would be stable and Lu Yan would return to Beijing as soon as possible.

After calling the girl to prepare some food for the secret guards, Shen Qing returned to her yard and began to reply to Lu Yan. She originally wanted to write one page, but the more she wrote, the more she couldn't hold it in. In the end, she wrote five pages before she gave up. When Lu Yan was away, her heart was always empty. Fortunately, there were letters from Lu Yan, which gave Shen Qing some comfort.

In order to enhance his sense of existence, Tuanzi also stepped in the soil of the flower pot and printed a small paw print of his own on the end of the letter paper.

Shen Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud, but he put the letter and Tuanzi's paw prints into the bamboo tube.

When Shen Qing came out of the house again, she saw several people standing at the door, including Shen Suyu, Yun Yichen, and Meng Guanlan and Lan Yin who came at some unknown time.

"Why don't you go in?"

Lan Ting said with a smile: "You are busy replying to your prince, so we don't have the nerve to bother you."

Shen Qing smiled, a hint of shyness flashing between his eyebrows.

He handed the bamboo tube in his hand to the secret guard, and asked the secret guard to collect ten taels of silver from the accountant every time he went to southern Xinjiang. The other secret guards did the same.

The secret guard's eyes flashed with deep gratitude. He nodded and said to Shen Qing: "Princess, there is a gift prepared for you by the prince in the carriage outside the door."

Hearing this, expressions of surprise flashed across the faces of the four people behind Shen Suyu. Then Shen Suyu and Lan Yin looked at each other, with obvious meaning in their eyes: Sure enough, when it comes to discussing the girl's favor, Jing'an is still the one to choose. Wang knows it best.

Seemingly sensing something slightly wrong, Meng Guanlan and Yun Yichen also looked at each other.

Meng Guanlan: It seems that we didn’t perform well when compared to each other by Lu Yan. Do we need to make amends later?

Yun Yichen's eyes were full of approval. If Shen Suyu hadn't been there, he would have nodded crazily: "It must be made up for!"
