Picking a Name

The magnificent Gongsun Mansion was still full of flowers, but Gongsun Li was not in the mood to appreciate it.

In the past few days, his youngest son fell ill again, with the same symptoms as on the ship, foaming at the mouth and shaking all over.

I consulted numerous famous doctors and finally concluded that I was suffering from hysteria.

Apart from prescriptions for recuperating the body, the doctors could not prescribe any other medicine.

It is said that heart diseases require heart medicine, but what kind of heart problems can Yuer have at such a young age?

Alas, nothing can come out of a child's mouth.

Gongsun Li sighed and looked gloomy.

"Master! Master! It's not good!"

The second housekeeper of the Gongsun family ran in from outside holding a tube of bamboo salt. He almost tripped and fell to the ground before entering.

Gongsun Li scolded angrily: "You unlucky slave, what are you yelling about!"

"Oh, Master, no, look at this quickly." The panicked second housekeeper handed over the bamboo tube.

Gongsun Li picked up the bamboo tube and took a look inside: "What is this white powder?"

The second butler cupped his hands and said, "Come home, it's salt!"

"Salt?" Gongsun Li was shocked after hearing this, then dipped his finger in a little and put it in his mouth.

After Gongsun Li tasted it, his expression changed greatly. This salt was indeed better than his sea salt. The color was as white as snow. There was only a pure salty taste in the mouth, and there was no other peculiar smell.

"Where did you get this salt?"

Second Steward: "Come home, Master, I bought it at the newly opened Xuji Salt Shop. It only costs one tael per pound."

"What?" Gongsun Li stood up from his chair after hearing this: "What is Xuji Salt Shop? Where does their salt come from?"

The second housekeeper looked embarrassed: "This little guy doesn't know."

"I don't know, why don't you go check it out quickly!" Gongsun Li picked up the tea cup on the table and threw it to the ground, causing the porcelain to fly everywhere.

At this time, Gongsun Li was furious that someone dared to sell private salt under his nose.

Moreover, it just happened to exploit the gap where Dayuan's laws were not yet complete.

What a ulterior motive, insidious and cunning!

Gongsun Li knew very well that salt was the economic lifeblood of a country, and it was also because of this that King Yuan won him over.

We cannot allow this Xuji Salt Shop to continue to operate, otherwise it will disrupt the Gongsun family's monopoly on the salt industry.

"First Steward! You and the Second Steward will go check it out together. You must find out the results for me tonight. Also, take people to the streets tomorrow and smash up Xu Ji Salt Shop!"

"No!" the butler who had been standing nearby responded quickly.

Gongsun Li took a deep breath. It seemed that he wanted to report to the Holy Emperor immediately and issue laws to punish these cunning and unruly people.

In Erlitun, a suburb of Changchun City, several men from the Xu family gathered together to discuss hiring people to build a house.

The women are filling bamboo tubes with salt to sell in the market tomorrow.

The children were all around the warm fire, watching the wolf cubs drinking goat's milk.

In the evening, Haoyue exchanged two bags of rice for a lactating ewe.

This goat's milk has just been squeezed from the ewe, and has a very rich goat's smell.

The little guys stuck out their pink little tongues, chirping, chirping, chirping.

"His fifth aunt, you don't care about him, how can you let Yue'er raise wolves? It's so dangerous." Erya Niang glanced at the little wolf cub on the ground.

Shen Yinxing: "Oh, it's okay. I told you it might be a wolf dog. If you want to raise a child, you can raise it. We'll see if it grows up."

"Whether they can be raised is another question. Once the children's freshness wears off, they might be lost." Aunt Seven interjected.

The five furry little wolves started wreaking havoc everywhere after they were full of milk.

It's biting here and there, and it's obvious that I can't even stand firmly when walking.

"Ouch. Ouch."

These five cubs all look similar, and Haoyue can only tell them apart by their body shape.

"Okay, don't run around. Sit down in a row for me. I'm going to give you names." Haoyue held down a little wolf that was about to run away with one hand, causing the little wolf to howl.

Then she arranged the five wolves according to their size.

The largest wolf cub, it walks in a somewhat majestic manner.

Wuyue thought for a while: "Then I'll call you Xiaotian from now on."

The second child is quieter and has whiter fur.

Longyue wanted to give it a literary name, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with it. Finally, she nodded her forehead and said, "Then I'll call you Jingjing."

The third child is agile but has a bad temper. He starts baring his teeth when someone comes near him. He looks very fierce.

As soon as the third child bared his teeth at Wuyue, Xu Ajiu slapped him in the face, even though he was hit many times without long memory.

Haoyue felt that this guy would be a thorn in the future, so she touched its little ears and said, "If you are so fierce, you won't be able to find a wife in the future, so I'll call you soft."

Well, I just want to give the craziest wolf the most adorable name.

The fourth child is lively and active. He wants to go up and have a bite of everything he sees, causing chickens and ducks to run all over the yard.

"Then I'll call you Pippi."

The fifth child is the youngest, but has the biggest and roundest eyes among the siblings. He likes to grin and always looks smiling.

"Well, I'll call you Coke from now on."

After naming the cubs one by one, Hazy Moon realized that she had made a mistake.

Xiaotian, the biggest one, is actually puffy. He doesn’t have much flesh on his body, but his hair is thicker.

After taking the names, Haoyue spread a thick layer of straw into the bamboo basket where the little ones slept, and then put the bamboo basket into an empty tent.

Because it was getting colder at night and the temperature had dropped, she was afraid that these little ones who were not yet full-term would freeze to death at night.

Tomorrow my father is going to hire some masons and carpenters to help build a house. I heard that the best craftsmen in Changchun City can build a house in half a month.

The weather will get colder in another half month, and it will be time to live in a warm house.

I made thirty taels of silver today, bought a lot of stuff, and adopted five cute little cubs. It was such a wonderful day.

Haoyue felt a little excited as she thought about it, and gradually lost her sleepiness.

Then she stared at the roof of the tent, calculating the date, and found that tomorrow seemed to be the beginning of winter.

In her hometown, dumplings are eaten on the Beginning of Winter and glutinous rice balls are eaten on the Winter Solstice.

How about teaching the aunts how to make dumplings tomorrow?

Hee hee, she wants to eat stuffed with cabbage and pork, stuffed with fresh mushrooms, stuffed with corn and shrimp, stuffed with leeks and pork, she wants to eat everything.

As she thought about it, Longyue felt sleepy, and then she went to eat dumplings in her dream.

Outside the tent, the night was like ink, the sky and the earth were pitch black, except for a full moon hanging high in the sky.

About three miles away from the outskirts of Changchun, a majestic silver giant wolf was howling into the sky under the moonlight.

Ouch~

This long roar, full of sadness and concern, was carried far and wide by the night wind.

At the same time, the wolf cubs in the tents in the camp also heard the noise, pricked up their ears, and then responded one after another.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, thank you guys for accompanying me.

I wish you all a Happy New Year in advance~

Okay~
Chapter completed!
