After everyone helped Xiao Jiu to buy, they all returned to Zhou Mansion. Xiao Jiu wanted to go and see the two deer.

He was worried that the two deer would not be seen when he returned to the capital.

"They are so docile and so cute!" Xiao Jiu fed them with elm leaves, feeling a little reluctant to part with them.

Indeed, they nodded approvingly.

They come to feed from time to time, and they also love these two sika deer.

"Are we going to eat them sometime?"

The second child stroked their heads through the fence, frowning and some reluctantly said.

The third child also pulled at the fence, looked at them, and suggested softly: "Let's just stop eating them and keep them like this? It just so happens that they have a male and a female, so they can give birth to cubs."

"Well, don't eat them, let's keep them first. My mother said that their antlers are good things, and it's also good to keep them cut."

This proposal has been unanimously passed by everyone, and after a period of feeding, they have feelings for these two.

Anyway, after eating venison for almost two months, they are not greedy anymore.

There are still venison sauce and venison jerky left at home, and they have nothing to eat. They go hunting and try their luck. They can eat other prey without deer.

Xiao Jiu is excited now, and he can still see them when he comes back, that's great.

"Stop eating them, do we have to give them a name?"

"I'll come, I'll call... call..." The boss thought for a while.

"Well... there! Small spots, small spots. Yes, the name is apt, and the patterns on their bodies are spots."

The third child was the first to object, "It doesn't sound good!"

He is used to contradicting his elder brother.

"Then what's your name?"

"Forehead…"

He is also short of words!

Zhou Shan smiled and said, "Either the male's name is Banban, and the female's name is Ditty?"

The boss rolled his eyes, "Isn't it the same as what I took?"

"It's not the same, the overlapping sounds are better! I agree to call it spots."

"You can pull it down, this is the deer we hunted, what do you want to agree to?" the boss said to Zhou Yi angrily.

"Why can't I agree? I have fed them grass."

"I also agree to call it Banbandian. It sounds better than Xiaobanxiaodian. Second brother and Xiaojiu definitely have no problem, they won five to one! It's called Banbandian, haha!"

The third child smiled and took everyone except his eldest brother with him.

Zhou Yi also winked at the boss with a smirk.

The boss didn't object with a cold snort, and the spots were just spots. Anyway, it was the proposal he mentioned first.

He showed mercy and did not care about the third child.

"My father said that I will leave on the tenth day of the first lunar month. I will go to my master tomorrow to ask for leave in advance. After the tenth day of the lunar new year, I will not go to the academy. I will come back after the new year. Remember me."

"I will definitely miss you, remember to bring us the specialties of Yanyun Prefecture!" The third child said with a smile.

"Our specialty is cattle, sheep and horses,

Am I going to bring you a group back? Ha ha. "

"Is there nothing else?"

"Their fur is also our specialty."

Gu\u003c/span\u003e "Anything else?"

"It's kumiss. We are bordering the border. Those nomads like to drink kumiss. I'll bring you a few jars back then."

"Is it made of horse's milk mixed with wine? Although my mother told us not to drink until the age of fifteen, it is also a special product. We can try it in an open and honest way."

Zhou Yong was very curious about this kumiss.

"Yes, it is mixed with mare's milk, but it is very strong. Milk wine is warm in nature, and has the functions of repelling cold, relaxing muscles, invigorating blood circulation, and strengthening stomach. The weather outside Guan is harsh in winter, so the nomads rely on heating mare's milk to warm their bodies."

Zhou Shan and the others shook their heads in disinterest, they were all still young.

"We are not interested in wine, you can bring a little to Zhou Yong at will."

Zhou Yong nodded, "They don't like it, so you can do whatever you want. It's beef, you can bring a little more into Beijing when the time comes."

"It's still very cold after the New Year, so it shouldn't be bad. All three of us like to eat beef, but our Great Summer Law does not allow the arbitrary slaughter of cattle."

The third child also agreed, "Yes, bring a little more beef. We were all slapped by Zhou Shanyang. We haven't eaten beef for a long time, so we miss it."

Zhou Shan is also helpless, because the cattle cannot be slaughtered at will, and the palace eats mutton more often, and only occasionally kills one head for meat.

Coupled with the cooler weather, mutton is more suitable for tonic, and he hasn't eaten it for a while.

Moreover, he didn't dare to show that he liked to eat, otherwise the palace could accidentally die a cow every day.

This is too extravagant and wasteful.

Although his identity has changed, he is still very simple in his bones.

Farming cattle is very important labor for the common people, and he would rather eat less.

Xiao Jiu grinned and said, "No problem, we don't have anything but meat from all kinds of livestock. I'll bring you a slaughtered cow back then."

The third child looked at him with bright eyes and nodded frantically, "Okay, okay, it's just cold, you can cut it into pieces and freeze it, not afraid of breaking."

Zhou Yi was not very familiar with him, he just smiled and looked at them talking without making a sound. Although he wanted it very much, he was not so cheeky yet.

"I've fed Banbandian, let's go. You can also go and tell my mother about the tenth departure, so that she can prepare the soil ritual for you in advance."

They wandered outside for a long time, and it was getting late now. The boss pushed them out, and by the way, let Xiao Jiu tell his mother the day of departure.

The next day, Xiao Jiu also went to ask her master for leave.

The Master agreed without a second word. Although this son had good qualifications, it was a pity that he was the son of a merchant, and he felt sorry for him.

The master was afraid that he would waste his studies when he went back, so he specially told him, "Reading is not necessarily for being an official. Many poems that have been passed down through the ages are many from the hands of businessmen or women."

"Reading can also extract personal value. When you go home, don't leave your homework behind. You can also pass the time by endorsement on the way."

"Yes, Master, the students follow the teachings." Xiao Jiu respectfully accepted.

Although he was leaving in a few days, he still came to the academy to study every day as usual.

As usual, as it is now, every day's homework has been completed well.

In the early morning, I went to the academy in a carriage, and I also had a scroll in my hand.

The boss sighed when he saw it, "I don't know how to grasp this great opportunity to be lazy. Anyway, I can't take the imperial examinations, so I'll be fine if I read it."

"Why are you still working so hard, you are still holding a book in the carriage, what's the matter?"

"Reading is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. I like reading a lot, and my master also said that reading is not necessarily for being an official. If I'm lazy, I'm afraid that I won't be able to keep up with everyone's progress when I come back after the year."

He felt that what the Master said was right.
