Tibetan Sea Pearl

Chapter 6 Catch the Thief

On the second day, in order to prevent the fat cat from stealing food again, Su Yue asked Hongjiao to block the cat hole, but the cat slipped in through the small window in the kitchen.On the third day, the small window in the kitchen was closed, and the cat jumped down from the high wok-er gable, grabbed the squid, climbed up the wok-er gable and left.

It doesn't steal the dried fish on the dustpan next to it, but it steals squid every day. Su Yue can see that this is a cat that likes to eat squid.

Su Yue watched the cat slip away from under her nose, and decided to follow Hongjiao secretly to see, whose family raised the cat so boldly?

With a squid in its mouth, the cat walked leisurely through the alley next to Dongchang Street, walked past the big lychee tree, turned into Osmanthus Alley, and jumped into the cat hole left on the courtyard wall.

Looking at the familiar cat hole on the wall, isn't this the place where she gave Liu Fangfang the bank note last time?This is the Liu Mansion, no, it is the current Lin Mansion.After Lin Zhifu took office, he directly moved into the original Liufu.

In the blink of an eye, the cat was gone.

The big rock from last time was still there. Su Yue stepped on the big rock and lay down on the cat hole to see where the cat had gone. Hong Jiao hurriedly came to help Su Yue's hand.

Su Yue stood on her toes and looked in through the cat hole.

The cat walked across a meadow with ease, walked up a gravel path, and came to a boy in white clothes.The young man was dancing his sword, his back was facing her, he couldn't see his face, but from the back, he was tall and tall.

The cat walked up to the boy and threw the squid at the boy's feet.

The boy put down his sword, knelt down and gently patted the cat's head.

Soon a servant came, led a cook-like person, and left with the squid's tail in his hand.

"If you want to eat squid, you don't go to the street to buy it. You can use your cat to steal it." Su Yue muttered to herself.

Standing on tiptoe, she felt a little numb after standing on tiptoe for a long time, Su Yue moved her foot, who knows, her whole body slid down when her foot tilted.

"Second Miss, be careful." Hong Jiao exclaimed loudly, rushing to support Su Yue's body.

Su Yue tightly grasped the edge of the cat hole with both hands, not daring to breathe.

Who will the handsome boy be?Could it be that he is that big shot--Prefect Lin?

Su Yue suddenly became interested, regained her footing, stretched her neck and looked inside.Just looking at it from the back makes people think about it, it must be a handsome young man, but I don't know what the front face looks like?

Hongjiao's exclamation successfully attracted the boy's attention, and the boy looked this way.

Looking over with a deep gaze, a pair of deep and cold eyes made Su Yue shiver as if she had fallen into a freezing hell.

"Ah!" Before he could see the boy's face clearly, he slipped his hands and fell backwards.

"Second Miss, Second Miss..."

The red banana meat hugged Su Yue's back, "I just said, this is too dangerous, what if I fall down, what will happen? If I break my leg, how can I report to the old lady?" Scared He hurriedly carried Su Yue off the boulder.

"I'm not doing well now, nothing is wrong." Su Yue clapped her hands, straightened her clothes, remembered the knife point, and hurriedly pulled Hong Jiao back.

"Don't tell anyone when you get home that I climbed the wall. If my mother finds out, we won't be allowed to go out next time. We'll have to embroider in the house."

"Well, I see...I don't like embroidery the least."

Su Yue looked at Hongjiao's chubby hands and asked Hongjiao to embroider with a small embroidery needle. It was really hard for her.Fortunately, the Su family is a small family, not as many specifications as the big family, so they will not keep the girl at home and not let her go out.

Back home, Su Qing was packing her luggage in the east wing of the front yard.

"Are you leaving so soon?" Su Yue asked from the open window.

"Let's go at dawn tomorrow." Su Qing was very excited when he went out for the first time. "I heard from the pottery master that the best dragon kiln is in Jingdezhen, and the best porcelain is also in Jingdezhen. I have long wanted to go there." Check it out, I wonder if the white porcelain in Jingdezhen is the same as ours, and the blue and white porcelain..."

Su Yue pushed the door open and came in, "Jingdezhen is very far away, it will take a month to go back and forth, should I go back by sea or by official road?"

Traveling by sea by boat is smooth and takes a short time. In the past, merchants would choose to travel by sea.But a while ago, Japanese pirate Liu Jiang led people to kill people, and the sea route was not peaceful. Many businessmen were afraid of encountering Japanese pirates at sea, so they would choose to take the official road by land when they went north.

"Take the official road, father has already hired a carriage, from Guangzhou to the north, via Shaoguan, to Ganzhou, and then to Jingdezhen, rest at the post station at night, at most one month will arrive." Su Qing said more and more excited, "When the time comes If you see something good, I will bring it back for you."

"Okay!" Su Yue also became happy.

"Okay." Su Qing reached out to pat Su Yue's head, but she dodged it.

Su Yue covered her head and ran away, "I'll go to the kitchen to see if Mother has finished the cake."

In the kitchen, Mrs. Wang is making pancakes. There are red bean stuffing, mung bean stuffing, and sesame stuffing. She baked over a hundred of them, big and small, to serve as dry food for them on their way to Suyuan Mountain.

Su Yue went over to help, put the freshly baked cakes on a bamboo sieve to cool, and wrapped them in oiled paper when they were completely cool, and put them in a cloth bag.

"It will take a month at the earliest to go back and forth." Wang sighed.

"Isn't my sister and I still with you? If you feel bored, can we go to Guangxiao Temple to eat vegetarian food? Last time you ate the vegetarian chicken at Guangxiao Temple and came back, always thinking about the delicious vegetarian chicken there." Su Yong knew that Wang Shi was reluctant to part with Su Yuanshan and Su Qing, so she took Wang Shi's arm and said softly, "Didn't you always say that you want my brother to go out to see the world, this time I have the opportunity to go out, my brother is very happy, and said I want to bring back something good for my mother."

"This little bastard." Wang smiled and patted Su Yue's hand, "Okay, okay, okay, mother is waiting for his good things." She sighed in her heart, and she couldn't help herself.

At dawn the next day, Su Yuanshan and Su Qing drove the carriage and set off.

Wiping away her tears, Mrs. Wang straightened Su Qing's clothes, "Listen to your father carefully when you go out." She quietly stuffed a bank note into Su Qing's hand.

"Father, brother, you have to be careful on the road." Su Yue reluctantly waved goodbye.

"Go early and return early." Xiao Hei shouted.

After Su Yuanshan and Su Qing left, Mrs. Wang felt empty in her heart. She was making clothes for Su Qing in her room, and her hands were pricked several times by needles.I went out in the morning to buy vegetables with a basket on my shoulders, but the basket was still empty when I came back, and I didn’t buy anything.

Mrs. Wang is the kind of person who can buy a basket of vegetables even if she doesn't bring any money to go out.

Su Yue looked at Mrs. Wang, without saying a word, took the basket and hung it on the porch, "Mother, let's go shopping in the street, I haven't been on the street for a long time." Mrs. Wang likes going to the street the most. , Going for a walk in the street, nothing to worry about.

Mrs. Wang thought for a while, "I heard people say that Caiyunfang has a new piece of cloth from the south of the Yangtze River. Let's go and see if there is any suitable one, and make two clothes for Ayu and you."

"Mother's hairpin is also old, let's go to Desheng Yinlou to make jewelry." Su Yue happily went to the West Wing to call Su Yu.

"You are the only one who knows how to spend money indiscriminately." Wang Shi said, finally showing a smile.
