Chapter 498: Three Tails, Three Times!

ard of the Hot Springs Valley, then brought back jade gourds and fragrant melons to resell at high prices or as gifts.And nearby at Dahuai Tree Village and Xiaowang Village and Dawang Village, men, wo...Soon, the table was cleared. Before everyone could leave, Jia Yin had already taken He's grandmother's hand and gone to the Ye family courtyard to learn.

Tao Hongying considered herself to know her mischievous daughter very well and guessed she was up to some trouble again.

So, I secretly followed her and took a peek. As a result, I saw my daughter earnestly reciting the rules of the palace, so she quickly retreated when she saw me.

Li Laotai was just about to take advantage of the good weather and sunbathe her quilt. Seeing her daughter-in-law frowning as she walked in, she asked, "What's wrong, Funiu Did you slack off again"

Tao Hongying shook her head, hesitatingly said: "Mother, Fu Niuer is studying very hard."

“Isn't this a good thing” Old Madam Li instinctively replied, but then she remembered the morning’s strange feeling. She tugged at her daughter-in-law and asked, “Don't you also think Funiu is acting strange It’s like she grew up overnight. She's not necessarily more sensible, just...just not mischievous anymore, not making a fuss!”

"Yes, yes!" Tao Hongying nodded repeatedly, "This child used to be all about slacking off, couldn't wait to learn for a while and rest for a day. Now he's suddenly diligent and serious, how come my heart is trembling Did someone knock some sense into him!"

Old Mrs. Li quickly waved her hand, "It's not me! I have such a smart and filial child at home, I could even dream about it and wake up smiling. What would I be doing to beat the child when I have nothing to do"

"That's not what I meant, mother," Tao Hongying said. "I left the mountain early yesterday. Did something happen after that"

Old Li quickly called out to Li Lao Si and inquired about it. Li Lao Si was even more confused when he heard, "No, everything is fine."

Three people sat opposite each other, confused and suddenly realizing they might have overreacted.

After all, the child has stopped slacking off and is studying seriously. This is a good thing.

It's just that putting it on a lazybones is a bit out of place.

They had no idea that just because of a seat issue, the lazybones' sensitive point would be triggered!

It’s just that, they probably don’t understand either.

After all, before that person, everyone should be kneeling, it's only natural.

The Li family was lucky to even stand on the side; getting a seat would be an honor...

Fortunately, the lord soon returned with people. As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and asked: "Where is Fu Niuer I brought her good things!"

Li Laosi smiled and said, "Is it the one we caught in the mountains"

The marquis nodded, and he dashed over to the next courtyard, carrying his daughter back.

Jiao Yin was also delighted to see the Marquis, and she stepped forward to embrace her godfather's arm.

The lord stroked her hair, “Last time, during military drills, your father and I went up the mountain. We happened to catch a little fox. These past few days, we’ve had the imperial palace’s animal handlers examine it. Its claws have been trimmed and its sharp teeth broken. Today, I’m bringing it back for you to see if you like it”

As he spoke, he signaled his bodyguard to come forward.

A soldier carried in a two-foot-square cage, placing it on the table. Once the black cloth covering it was removed, everyone got a clear view.

A little fox was locked in a cage.

It stood a foot tall, its entire body covered in snow-white fur. Its eyes were like amber, small and thin, squatting halfway, staring warily at the crowd. It occasionally bared its teeth, as if warning people not to come closer.

But it's really too small, this kind of behavior is even more pretentious and cute, fierce yet adorable!

Jiayin almost fell in love with it at first sight, rushing forward and excitedly exclaiming, "It's a fox! It's so small and cute!"

The lord let out a quiet sigh of relief. If the child liked it, then all the effort hadn't been in vain.

You see, they had three hundred people out there, working all day and night before finally scaring away the big fox. They managed to bring the little thing back successfully.

He called his soldiers, took an egg from them, and put it in the corner of the cage.

The little fox hesitated for a moment, but perhaps because he was too hungry, he quickly turned his head and ate the bird's egg.

As soon as he turned, everyone noticed something amiss and gasped in shock.

This little fox actually has three tails!

Li Lao immediately said, "This fox won't be a spirit, will it There's an old saying that foxes can turn into human shapes after growing nine tails!"

The Lord shook his head, "The eunuch who took care of the beasts in the palace has looked at it, this is an ordinary snow fox, not even two months old."

"At the Emperor's place, I also said a few words. Don't worry about offending anyone. In the future, Fu Niaoer can raise this little fox and it can also be a companion."

If it were a normal day, Old Lady Li and Tao Hongying might have objected, but they were both uneasy about the little girl's sudden diligence. This little fox companion had arrived just in time.

Before the sound of a response, they had already nodded.

Li Laotai hurriedly replied, "Good, good, stay and play with Fu Niuer together."

Tao Hongying asked, "What should the little fox be fed Is it not difficult to raise"

The lord smiled and replied, "Raw meat, chicken eggs, bird eggs, and fruit are all fine. But this fox is still young; it would be better to feed it some rice porridge with minced meat."

Shuiyun immediately went to the kitchen to prepare, while Shui Ling followed Jiayin and chirped around the little fox.

In her past life, JiaYin had once wished to be a cat, but sadly, she fell ill and died. After that, she never kept another pet again.

She had no resistance to this fluffy little animal. Her happy face was flushed red, and she exclaimed joyfully, "Uncle, does the little fox have a name"

"You are its master, give it a name!" the Marquis laughed.

Jia Yin propped her chubby chin and thought for a moment, "The little fox's fur is snow-white and its eyes are amber. How about...San Tiao!"

"Poof!" Everyone burst out laughing.

They heard the first two sentences and thought that Jia Yin would choose a name like Xue Tuan or Hu Po, but they didn't expect it to be San Tiao!

Is it to emphasize that the little fox has three tails

What about fur color and eyes first

Pure misdirection!

Jia Yin played a little prank on Xiao San, laughing triumphantly and tapping the cage. "Xiao San, did you hear that From now on, your name will be San! Be a good boy and follow me, we'll eat delicious food and drink spicy things together!"

The little fox didn't know if it understood, disdainfully rolled its eyes, and finally turned its head, only facing Jia Yin with its rear end.

Everyone laughed even harder.

This little cutie, Jia Yin, has finally met someone who doesn't like her. Her position as the darling of the group is in jeopardy...

After chatting for a while, the Lord and Lao Si Li were about to set off.

The emperor has agreed to go to war. These days, as soon as there is any movement from the barbarians, the border troops will be ready to cross the river at any time.

Some people were reluctant to part, unsure when they would meet again.

Especially Li Laotai and Tao Hongying, they wanted to bring all their belongings with them.

All the prepared clothes, shoes, socks, and provisions were packed up and given to my personal guards.

Jia Yin hugged her father, feeling a little regret.

Before I was only focused on playing, how could I not have gone through my storage and gathered some good materials to make another weapon for Father

Fortunately, the Lord had gotten a good bow from within the palace, and the military-issued saber wasn't too bad either.

Li Laosi didn't think much of it. He put down his daughter and again told his mother to take care of herself.

The lord picked up the chubby girl and still said the same thing, "When your godfather comes back, he'll bring you good things."

Jia Yin hugged her godfather's neck, suddenly feeling a pang of sadness.

Xincun, Xindu, and even the entire Tianwu regarded their foster father as a protector deity.

But no one knows how hard and dangerous his years of travel, with life hanging in the balance, truly were!

She couldn't help but pat her stepfather's thick shoulder and said, "Stepfather, you've worked hard. From now on, Funiu will help you."

This sounded a bit incoherent, but the Marquis understood it nonetheless.

He was stunned for a moment, then slowly smiled and nodded emphatically, "Good, godfather, I'll wait for that day!"
