Chapter 166 Buying a Pet
After finishing the affairs in Heshui Village, we will go to other villages to make arrangements. It’s all the same.
Every village hired them and gave each of them one or two taels of silver every month. If they were paid more silver, they would work harder.
After finishing this matter, I will return to the palace, but there is still one thing I have to do before returning to the palace.
Xia Qingqing was sitting in the carriage waiting, and Chuntao came out from somewhere.
"Princess, I found it."
Xia Qingqing nodded, "Let's go and take a look."
They followed him into a yard, and before they entered they heard some dogs barking.
When the people in the yard heard the knock on the door, they immediately shouted and the dog's barking stopped immediately.
The person in the yard opened the door and was visibly stunned when he saw Xia Qingqing.
"Princess, why are you here?"
Xia Qingqing didn't expect anyone to recognize her. She originally thought that not everyone in the capital would know her.
Unexpectedly, it was someone who knew me.
She smiled at him and said.
"I'm here to buy a dog. I heard you have a lot of puppies here? Where can I take a look?"
There was nothing uncomfortable in what Xia Qingqing said, so of course the man was very happy.
The princess bought his dog, and she will be proud to tell others about it in the future.
"Sure, sure, take a look around. There are lots of puppies here."
As soon as Xia Qingqing entered the yard, several puppies ran up to her, sniffed her, and tried to rub against her.
The owner of the yard wanted to take the puppies away when he saw this. What a joke! This is a princess, and she is not to be messed with. If you are not careful, you will lose your head.
"No, let them rub against me. They like me."
The little puppies surrounded Xia Qingqing, their tails wagging wildly behind them, like a little airplane.
He reached out and touched them one by one.
Then we walked inside and saw some big dogs locked up. These dogs were very fat and looked like a big truck.
"Why do you have so many dogs here?"
The owner of the yard was stunned for a moment, then looked at the dog in the backyard. The dog ran over excitedly when he saw the owner in the backyard.
Xia Qingqing looked up at him at this time and saw that he looked at the dog with very gentle eyes.
He raised the corner of his mouth and said.
“These are all what I saved from the mouths of diners, but there aren’t many.
I raised a dog when I was young, but it was caught and eaten by someone. I was very sad because I raised it since it was young and I had deep feelings for it.
When I saw it becoming someone else's food, I collapsed. I went over and overturned their table, and the dog meat in the pot poured out directly.
They beat me up and said that everyone keeps a dog to eat, and they accused me of making a big deal out of nothing.
But I am not like that. I raise them sincerely and I have never thought of eating them. They are so cute. "
Xia Qingqing felt a little touched. After all, she also had Dabai. If Dabai was hurt, she would definitely kill them all!
"Then why are you selling it now?"
The owner of the yard scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
"Actually, I just don't have enough money on hand, so I have no choice but to sell it to you when I heard you wanted to buy it to raise."
Xia Qingqing pondered for a moment and said.
"Have you ever thought about selling the puppy to someone else to keep as a pet?"
The owner of the yard was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "How could anyone buy a dog as a pet?"
"Yes, I am, am I not?"
The owner of the yard was suddenly choked and didn't know what to say for a moment, as if she was just here to buy a pet.
"Can I choose these dogs myself?" Xia Qingqing didn't continue the conversation and changed the subject.
"of course."
Xia Qingqing returned to the front yard. When the little puppies saw her, they jumped on her, each one full of energy.
It can be seen that they are all well cared for.
Xia Qingqing bought fifteen males and fifteen females and took them all home. Among them was a puppy that looked different from the others.
It seems to be a mixed-breed, looking very much like a Tibetan Mastiff, with long hair and a broad face.
"What kind of dog is this?"
The dean took a look and said, "I don't know. I saw this on the street a few days ago. I don't know where it came from. I saw that it was a little creature that no one wanted, so I brought it back."
I scanned it with my own encyclopedia and found that it was indeed a Tibetan Mastiff, and the more valuable Ghost Mastiff.
This made Xia Qingqing very happy, "Then I want this one too."
The owner of the yard was very happy that these little guys no longer had to suffer with him.
There was one carriage when we went out, and two carriages when we came back.
The carriage was driven into the harem, and other people's carriages had to stop there, but this was Xia Qingqing's carriage, so she could drive it to the gate of her own yard.
Because this was the emperor's personal order, and he didn't want to tire Her Royal Highness the Princess.
It was almost evening, but it was not yet time for dinner, so Chuntao and the others called all the concubines to the amusement palace.
The horse-drawn carriage carrying the dogs was already at the entrance of the amusement palace. Someone was asked to take the cages down and cover them with cloth.
To create a sense of mystery, Xia Qingqing then went to the Queen's palace and asked the Queen to go to the amusement palace together.
When the two of them arrived, the concubines were already waiting. When they saw Xia Qingqing coming, they couldn't wait to ask.
"Little princess, why did you call us over here? What is this thing in the middle? There is a sound coming from it."
"Yes, Princess, is there anything good here?"
The Queen didn't know what this thing was either. Xia Qingqing didn't say anything along the way, but just said there would be a big surprise.
“This is a surprise!”
With a wink, the servant lifted the cloth covering it, revealing a cage, but only a small gap could be seen in the cage.
There was no way to see what was inside. Xia Qingqing walked forward and opened the door of the cage, and the things inside immediately jumped out.
A large group of puppies ran out very lively, with their tails wagging behind them and their pink tongues sticking out, making the concubines exclaim in surprise.
"Oh my god, so many little puppies!"
"How cute! It's licking me."
There was also one that walked to Concubine Lin's feet and rubbed against her, it was so cute that it was enough to melt your heart.
I couldn't help but hug her, and once I hugged her, I couldn't let go.
Even the queen was holding one in her arms.
