Rebirth of the Noble Concubine

Chapter 72 72. Lost

Yun Xu's eyes were filled with surprise. This fire fox's sense of smell must be too sensitive. It takes at least more than an hour to get here from home. How did it find it?

He rubbed its head and asked curiously, "Your nose is too good. I'm afraid the dogs raised in the second courtyard are not as good as you."

Chi Ling seemed to understand and bared her teeth at Yun Xu.

Comparing a spirit fox to a dog? You are really ignorant.

Chi Ling has been raised in Ning'an Courtyard for some time, so the maids below have a general understanding of its temperament and will not really make it angry.

The master and servant teased each other for a while, before Yun Xu carried Chi Ling down to eat something.

Chi Ling's appearance was so sudden that it also woke up the orange cat next to him, but everyone's attention was just on Chi Ling.

But he never thought that the orange cat looked at Chi Ling with an unfriendly look, as if he was a foreigner trying to grab territory.

Likewise, Chi Ling's hair stood on end and she bared her teeth at the orange cat.

People say that when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. Between the cat and the fox, I really don’t know who will win and who will lose?

Xu Mingyue came out of the soup pool and happened to see the orange cat in an attacking posture. From her position, she couldn't see the fire fox held by Yun Xu, and she thought the orange cat was barking at Feng Jinyao.

So he scolded, "You can't make mistakes with your hair."

When the orange cat heard the familiar voice of its owner, its barbed back immediately softened, and it turned to look at Xu Mingyue with an expression like an innocent child's.

His face changes so quickly. This cat is also very understanding of human nature.

The opponent put away his attack state, and Fire Fox Chi Ling naturally did not take the initiative to provoke him. He snuggled into Yun Xu's arms, looking very cute and well-behaved.

Xu Mingyue had previously wondered why Yunxu's arms were so red. When she got closer, she realized that it was actually a little fox, a rare fire fox!

There was surprise in his eyes, "Where did you get it?"

Yun Xu smiled and quickly replied, "This is the fire fox my second son gave to the young lady to raise. It's called Chi Ling. The young lady didn't come back today, but it's quite powerful. It came here just after looking for the scent. No, it just came in."

When faced with Tuanrong, he has an intolerable temper."

There was both love and affection in his words, but also a few words of teasing about the fire fox.

Xu Mingyue wanted to touch the hair on Chi Ling's forehead, but she saw it raise its eyebrows and look at her, which seemed to say don't touch it.

As a result, Xu Mingyue was even more surprised.

"What a clever fox!"

Knowing that it didn't want to, Xu Mingyue didn't force it.

"What fox?" Bai Siruo came up behind him. When he saw the little guy, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes showed joy.

I didn't care if it wanted to do it or not. I just stroked the hair on its head and it was so soft.

"The color of the hair is so perfect. I remember my grandmother had a firefox cloak, which was also this bright red color. It was so beautiful."

Chi Ling was originally so angry that he wanted to bite her, but when he heard this, he was so frightened that he crawled into Yun Xu's arms, fearing that the aunt would really use it to make a cloak.

His butt was facing Bai Siruo and his tail was wagging, making everyone laugh.

"That's right, that's right. I know you're afraid of people, so I'll keep you for now. When you grow up, you'll be able to wear a big cloak and you'll be warm."

He deliberately gave a sinister tone, which scared Chi Ling to the point of crying. He was not at all as arrogant and domineering as before.

Yun Xu admired this cousin from the Bai family from the bottom of her heart. It seems that evil "foxes" have to be punished by evil people. My ancestors will not deceive me!

On the first night of staying in the mountain, the three of us, one cat and one fox, were not lonely anymore.

Talking by candlelight all night, I forgot the time, and it was almost late when I fell asleep.

Early the next morning, several people were awakened by the sound of the temple bells, and all three of them were covered in black and blue.

There are three rooms in the main house, just enough for each person, so it's not crowded.

It was brighter in the mountains earlier. Feng Jinyao got up first and called the clouds and wintersweets outside to come in and help them wash themselves.

The two of them had already prepared hot water, and when they entered, there was still the smell of mountain dew. Feng Jinyao felt that the smell was particularly pleasant, but it had a bit of a biting chill.

What Lamei is holding is the clothes that Xu Mingyue sent yesterday. The clothes are brand new and have not been worn yet. The color and style are elegant and simple, similar to what Feng Jinyao wears on weekdays.

While helping Feng Jinyao get dressed, he asked in a low voice.

"Miss, do you want to go to the temple fair today? I heard that more people will come today."

His words were full of excitement. It was the first time since wintersweet came into the house to offer incense, and he was very interested in the temple fair.

Yun Xu glanced at her excited expression and said jokingly, "You want to go shopping, right?"

Lamei's thoughts were exposed, her face turned red with embarrassment, she looked at Feng Jinyao and nodded, and said a little shyly, "I went to temple fairs several times when I was a child, but unfortunately my memory is blurred. I remembered it after I came here yesterday.

There are many things in the past, so..."

After all, she is a girl in her teens, so it is normal that her thoughts are not as stable as Yunxu's.

"It doesn't matter. You and I have nothing to do now. After breakfast, you can see if the ladies and maids in the courtyard still want to go. Let's go together. We'll be back before lunch."

"Thank you, Miss, thank you Miss." After receiving the approval, Lamei was even more happy than receiving the reward during the Chinese New Year.

He also became more attentive to serving Feng Jinyao and grooming her.

Breakfast is simple, a bowl of pearl balls stuffed with rice wine and osmanthus, and a plate of chestnut cake.

Feng Jinyao likes sweets, so she eats them with gusto.

As soon as I put down my chopsticks, I heard an exclamation from next door.

That was Sister Xu's house! But what happened! Feng Jinyao frowned, got up and rushed over. As soon as she reached the door, she saw a sleepy Bai Siruo rushing over. She was still wearing a moon-white undergarment under her cloak.

At first glance, he suddenly woke up from the bed.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" the two asked as they pushed the door open.

Xu Mingyue looked anxious, and the girls under his command were also rummaging around, all with serious expressions.

"The dough is gone."

That was Mr. Xu Ge's favorite orange cat, and no one would touch it casually. Now that the cat was lost, if this news were known to Mr. Xu Ge, he would probably vomit three liters of blood even if he was not sick.

"Don't worry, maybe I woke up in the morning and saw that everyone was sleeping and ran out to play."

Feng Jinyao comforted and said that although she did not keep cats or dogs, she also knew that this orange cat was raised by the Xu family since she was a child. She was very attached to her owner and would not run away easily. Maybe she was given to him by something.

Only when you are attracted will you leave.

"Yesterday at the temple fair, I saw a stall selling fried fish. Miss, do you think the tuanrong ran away because of the smell?"

Yun Bai, the maid next to Xu Mingyue, said anxiously.

"It's possible. You guys should go out quickly and look for her along the road. We'll be here later."

"yes."
