After hesitating for a while, the young man answered honestly:
"I got lost in the deep mountains and forests half a month ago and met a lynx that died of illness.
I saw two cute cats next to it . I picked them up and raised them for a few days. I had no money to eat, so I had no choice but to sell them."
Upon hearing the young man's words, the male and female cat cubs suddenly raised their heads and howled, with tears filling their eyes.
Looks very pathetic.
Shen Zhiyu understood immediately and whispered: "Sister, why don't you change to another cat cub?"
After all, it is a lynx cub, very wild and aggressive. What if it is not raised well enough and hurts my sister?
Ruan Ruan raised his head and looked at the third brother seriously and said, "I want these two."
Shen Zhiyu wanted to refuse, but seeing how serious she looked, he couldn't bear it, so he nodded.
"Boss, how much does one cost?"
"How about ten taels of silver each? Master, I will give these three lion cats to the little girl." The young man planned to buy one and get three free, a clearance sale.
Shen Zhiyu said nothing, but stared at the three lion cats in the cage. After careful inspection, he found that they were in good condition.
"Sir, these three lion cats are very healthy. Look how well their hair grows and their eyes are so clear. Their mother gave birth to three of them. If I hadn't been snoozing these past few days, they would have been sold out long ago."
Young The man started the performance of Mrs. Wang selling melons.
"Sister, what do you think?" Shen Zhiyu asked Ruan Ruan's opinion.
"It's okay." Ruan Ruan's expression was indifferent. She was already eyeing another cage, which contained three Kunming dogs and two Chow Chows.
She liked it immediately.
Shen Zhicheng also liked them very much and had already caught two of them to play with.
Noticing his sister's gaze, Shen Zhiyu looked at the puppies, reached into the cage and took out a few puppies.
I found them wagging their tails happily, as if they were welcoming him.
Can you not welcome me?
The puppies were hungry for nine meals in three days and wanted to change their owners for a long time.
It's a pity that the owner who raised them was very poor and lazy. He slept until midnight every day. When he came to the fish and bird market, all the customers were gone.
As a result, they were forced to remain unsalable. Otherwise, given their excellence, there would be no need to worry about finding a new owner who would treat them well.
Seeing that the young lady liked the five puppies in this cage again, the young man was very happy.
"Gentlemen and girls, if you like it, I can sell it cheaply, as long as I don't lose money."
"How much?" Shen Zhiyu didn't say much.
"Fifty taels of silver each, okay?" The young man felt guilty.
Shen Zhiyu glanced at the young man, took out a money bag from his arms, and threw it towards him. "Forty-five taels."
Generally, these puppies cost two or three taels of silver. Four taels are of particularly good breeds. Five taels is indeed a bit expensive, but for the sake of their younger brothers and sisters, Shen Zhiyu is too lazy to bargain with the boss.
Just spend money to buy happiness, not to mention that you don't lack this little money, so there is no need to compete with the people at the bottom for this little money.
"Okay, thank you gentlemen, thank you little girl." The young man was so happy that he opened the money bag and counted the money.
I thought that I had forty-five taels of silver, enough to spend three months.
Shen Zhicheng put several puppies into the cage and asked the three book boys to take the cage together.
The kittens, one male and one female, climbed onto Ruan Ruan's shoulders and behaved like dolls.
She loved it and scratched their necks with her little hands. "You're hungry! I'll treat you to goat's milk when I go back."
"Meow~meow~" They were so happy that they stretched out their little heads to rub against their little master's neck.
He immediately went back home and had been out for an hour.
On the carriage,
"Third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, I want to name them two, but I just don't know what to choose?" Ruan Ruan is a waste of names.
Seeing that her sister was so concerned about these two strange-looking kittens, Shen Zhiyu was embarrassed to say anything.
"Think slowly, don't be in a hurry." He also had a bad name and was embarrassed to help to avoid embarrassment.
Shen Zhijie and Shen Zhicheng were more positive. "Why don't you call me raccoon slave and jade rabbit? Pixiu nine tails?"
"I think it sounds better to call me little black and little yellow, which brings wealth and good fortune. Sister, do you think it's okay?"
"..." Ruan Ruan was speechless, especially to Shen Zhicheng. "Fifth brother, thank you for naming those dogs."
I will name my two kittens myself.
Seeing his sister's dislike of him, Shen Zhicheng pursed his lips in grievance.
Does his sister dislike him for being uneducated?
Shen Zhijie suppressed laughter, but he also felt that his sister disliked the name he chose.
"Sister, can I call them Shan Cang, Gui Qing, Yin Zhu, and Dou Ling?" Shen Zhicheng racked his brains before he came up with the names of the medicinal materials.
Ruan Ruan tilted his head and thought about the possibilities of these names, and asked the two kittens: "Do you like these names?"
Shan Cang and Gui Qing are pretty good and domineering.
The two kittens were a little confused.
Shen Zhijie was anxious, "Sister, I think the names Wuyuan, Moyu, Yunjian, and Xuanmao are pretty good."
Ruan Ruan tilted his head, thinking about whether these names were good.
Shen Zhiyu didn't dare to speak. It would be a mistake to help anyone.
"Sister, I think Shan Cang and Dou Ling are suitable for you two kittens." Shen Zhicheng coaxed her.
"Let's talk about it when we get back!" Ruan Ruan was raising pets for the first time, and she wanted to give them the best names.
"Meow~" The pair of kittens, a male and a female, lay on her legs and fell asleep quickly.
Ruan Ruan stroked their young bodies and just wanted to go back and feed them goat milk.
He was only one month old, but his body was pitiful and skinny.
...
After getting off the carriage, Shen Zhicheng was still competing with Shen Zhijie about who could choose the best name.
The noise made Ruan Ruan want to lose her temper, but she had no time to pay attention to them for the time being.
He carried two kittens in his pockets and quickly rushed into the general's mansion. "Nanny, go and heat up my goat's milk and bring it over."
"Little miss, are you hungry?" the nurse asked, then went to the small kitchen to get a bowl of goat's milk.
There will always be a pot of hot goat's milk in Ruan Ruan's small kitchen at twelve o'clock.
"Give it to the kittens." Ruan Ruan put them on his soft body.
When the nanny came into the house and took a look, she almost frightened her. "You have to change to a small bowl and spoon. You can't use the little lady's."
"It's okay, nanny, there are plenty of silver bowls and spoons. These two are my pets, and they are treated like this lady."
Ruan Ruan gave the two kittens The highest status. In her previous life, she didn't understand that those bullies treated animals like children.
But when she meets a pet that she likes and feels sorry for, she will want to give them the best in the world.
The wet nurse was shocked, but said nothing. "Little miss, let me feed them! You are still young and don't know how to take care of them."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, nurse." Ruan Ruan did not refuse. It was her first time taking care of pets, and she really had no experience.
Wait for her to learn slowly.
The two kittens woke up and smelled the goat's milk. They wanted to eat but didn't dare to rush over.
The wet nurse quickly picked up the silver spoon and fed the two kittens goat milk. One cat took a mouthful of milk and drank it in turn.
The two siblings didn't fight over each other and were very well-behaved.
The wet nurse quickly grew fond of them. "You're so good. Let's go and take a nap when you're full. See how thin you are. There's still a lot of goat's milk. I'll feed you in an hour."
"Meow~meow~" they seemed to understand and called twice softly.
