24-A Peaceful and Prosperous Time (End) (1/2)

After all, cats are not children of a few years old. They can do well with a little encouragement. The next morning, when the alarm rang, they all got up from the bed.

Although they were a little tired from running the day before, after Si Qingyan's massage, they felt comfortable when they woke up, without the fatigue after excessive exercise.

After washing up, it was the most anticipated meal time.

A row of cats stood neatly, drinking milk.

Si Qingyan also sat on the side to drink milk, but he drank it from a glass cup. After a few sips, he held his chin and looked at the cats.

No matter how I look at it, I can't see enough...

These cats have beautiful fur, clean and neat, plump, soft paws, and a serious face. They are so cute.

After they finished eating, they began to review what they learned yesterday, and Si Qingyan went to clean up the dishes. If you live with friends, things like washing dishes will become easy.

The cats who were studying occasionally looked at the kitchen and saw the young man with waist-length hair lowering his head to wash the dishes seriously, holding the tableware in his white jade-like hands. They felt that they should study hard and live up to his kindness no matter what.

In the past, the cats took it for granted when they saw He Yu working, and they didn't feel guilty about eating for free. Now they feel embarrassed when they see Si Qingyan cooking and doing all the work. A person as extraordinary as the prince should be clean and spotless, just drinking tea and listening to music, living in the boundless wind and moon. Once such a person washes his hands and cooks soup himself, the kittens who are fed will be speechlessly moved.

Suddenly, the cats studied more seriously.

Si Qingyan continued yesterday's class and mentioned the common types of fraud again. For example, pretending to be relatives or friends, or saying that you have won a prize, committed a crime and are about to be arrested, etc., these are all scammers' routines. There are also some technical ones, such as sending a certain link, and when you click on it, the money in the account will be stolen. Or the social account is stolen, pornographic pictures are posted in the space and chat group, and friends in the account are borrowed for money, etc. This is just a telecommunications fraud.

There are also many frauds in life. For example, many stations will have charity activities for the disabled. The scammers will pretend to be deaf and dumb, take a small notebook, and ask for donations. If you really want to do some charity work, it is safer to find a formal platform. Those people who say that their wallets have been stolen and kneel on the ground to beg for fares are mostly scammers. In the past few years, many disabled children performed on the streets. Most of them were deformed and very pitiful. These children were abducted. If you give money, they will not fall into their hands. The kittens were all shocked. It turns out that no matter what era, there will be some people who lose their conscience to make money.

Although it is illegal to privately check the privacy of some people, Si Qingyan still feels that at least one of these cats must learn it. In the future, when he is not with them, they may encounter all kinds of troubles. If they don’t learn more, they may be caught and sliced.

After teaching them a little skill in this area, Toffee has the best talent among all cats. She was very sensitive to these things and her intuition was very accurate, so Si Qingyan asked her to learn hacker techniques and ask him any questions she didn't understand. Before learning, she also made three rules in advance: she could only protect herself, not seek profit, and not attack regular platforms for fun.

The afternoon training class was still to understand the body structure of cats, and then run, the distance increased from three kilometers to five kilometers.

After running, the cats collapsed on the ground, like useless cats, and it was time for Doctor Si to take action to solve the problems for the cats.

This move also consumed a lot of spiritual power, and Si Qingyan set the price for ten yuan each time.

Last night, I heard the cats say that they wanted to save their pocket money to buy a mobile phone and secretly take turns to use it, so Si Qingyan decided not to let them save it.

Ten yuan per cat a day, a total of ninety, saving for more than ten days can buy a thousand-yuan phone with good cost performance. Instead of confiscating it at that time and making them despair, it is better not to provide any hope at the beginning.

Looking at the cats lying on the ground, Si Qingyan smiled and said:

"The ancestral massage is open, 10 yuan per session, and you can get a 10% discount if you sign up for a monthly card."

The cats who were looking forward to the massage were shocked.

The round eyes were all shocked.

They actually have to charge! So soon!

"Who will go first!" Si Qingyan asked.

The cats were silent and communicated with each other with their eyes. In the end, they resolutely handed over the 10 yuan banknote that Si Qingyan gave.

Looking at the brand new money in hand, Si Qingyan smiled.

After giving massages to the cats one by one, Si Qingyan was very satisfied.

The college area was cleaned by cats, which meant watching the sweeping robot go around. If the robot was trapped, help it.

It was another sweet night.

Si Qingyan had a great time playing with his mobile phone. He went to confiscate the mobile phones at a certain time. After all the cats' mobile phones were confiscated, he continued to play with his mobile phone.

Now the kittens have gotten used to this kind of routine. They can't sleep when they suddenly lose their phones. They chat about the past, entertainment stars, or plots in online novels... They chat a lot. It was rare to see them love to talk so much in the past, but this time they burst out with great enthusiasm.

Si Qingyan listened to their chats from time to time. If she found any common sense errors, she would write them down and use them as the content of future courses. After learning about common types of fraud, she would learn about laws and regulations to let them know what they can and cannot do.

The cats learn common sense very quickly, and Si Qingyan feels that they can completely adapt to this world. It's just that the cultivation problem is a bit troublesome. After the morning course is finished, the whole day will become a cultivation class.

A week later, the cats' expected outing project is finally coming true!

Si Qingyan added illusion to each cat and planned to take them to a scenic spot, but the cats had seen more natural scenery and were not very interested in it. Si Qingyan took them to the movies and claw machines.

The first time they went out to play in this state, the cats were very excited, but there were too many cats, and the illusion did not last long. They went out in the evening under the afterglow of the sunset and had to come back at nine o'clock in the evening.

Under the offensive of money, the claw machine also spit out a lot of dolls, and each cat had one. After washing up, the cats returned to their respective rooms, still reluctant to leave. After living in the dormitory, they could find roommates to chat and talk by just looking out their heads. Living in a separate room was a bit uncomfortable.

Another week, the cats were immersed in the pain of learning the law. Fortunately, Si Qingyan did not have high requirements. He only asked them to remember what they could not do, and there was no problem. Under normal circumstances, it is enough not to hurt others, not to smash, steal, and rob, and live a stable life for the rest of your life. If others do not offend me, I will not offend others. If you really encounter trouble, you must learn to fight back. Si Qingyan taught them the speed of counterattack. That's all. As for the specific grasp, the cats should know it themselves. They were not ordinary people. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are the best among people. Most of the time, they can understand it at a glance without Si Qingyan repeating it.

The body structure has been learned. Si Qingyan taught them to practice in turn, upgrading from the simple version to a little more complicated. It doesn't matter if they forget. Si Qingyan slowly led them to practice, so that they can regard the operation of spiritual power circuits as instincts, and practice while eating and sleeping.

The spiritual power concentration in the practice area is high, and there are big guys teaching. The cats progress very fast. Si Qingyan thought that he could teach for two months, but he didn't expect that it would be about 20 days faster than he expected. These days, the cats have worked very hard to get the little red flowers. Later, in order to transform into human form and go out to play earlier, they even tried their best. It's not surprising that they have such achievements.

Originally, Si Qingyan thought that they might need four or five years to completely transform, but now it won't take that long. At the earliest, three months, at the latest, a year, they can all transform into human form, and no longer worry about the disclosure of their identities.

Everything should have gone peacefully, but suddenly, a cat that was doing well in the live broadcast room attracted everyone's attention.

The cat was extremely fat, with two bright eyes, and it was obviously a smart fat cat.

It became popular on the Internet because it could cook and the food it cooked tasted good.

The cat owner was a girl, who often shouted when the cat was cooking, "Old friends, double-click 666", "Old friends, send a plane", "Old friends, cat wants a cruise ship", etc.

Of course, the rice and dishes it cooked were very simple. It couldn't make complicated dishes. It looked strange and shocking, but it didn't become a monster.

"This cat should be the imperial chef in the palace. Last time, it secretly cooked in the Forbidden City and was regarded as a supernatural event. It also did an episode of "Approaching Science". Later, it was filmed by surveillance and taken away by people from scientific research institutions."

"It looks like he is doing well. He has gained a lot of weight."

"We all thought it was sliced, but it was still alive."

"Do you want to touch it?" Si Qingyan asked.

"If it's not dangerous, you can give it a try." Nan Qiao touched his chin, feeling that this live broadcast could be a way to make money.

Everyone agreed to try to contact without danger, so Si Qingyan gave them a break and went to the host's location alone to see what was going on with the cat.

The status of the Royal Chef was not equal to that of other cats. He was usually not sociable and rarely appeared in the dark room. Even so, the cats still wanted to find out about his recent dynamics to see if he needed help.

The owner of the Royal Chef Cat was not very old. When Si Qingyan went over, she was making cat food.

The Royal Chef Cat slept lazily on the pink sheets, with a lazy posture.

"Thank you for your hard work, Bai Cai. Can we have fish tonight?"

"Meow~" The Royal Chef Cat meowed very politely.

"Okay, I'll make fish."

She was busy in the kitchen, her movements were still a little clumsy, and she didn't seem to be very good at cooking.

The kitchen knife fell to the ground with a loud bang. The Royal Kitchen Cat rushed over at an unreasonable speed. Seeing that she was safe and sound, he was relieved.

"Sorry, I scared you."

She squatted on the ground and suddenly cried. The Royal Kitchen Cat licked her face twice, which was very comforting.

She hugged the cat, stroked it twice, picked up the knife, and started to scale it again.

The Royal Kitchen Cat looked disgusted, and hesitated between taking action and not taking action.

Thinking of some of the horror experiences in the past, he still held back.

Seeing that the two of them got along well, Si Qingyan did not show up for the time being.

The Royal Kitchen Cat's owner made two simple dishes and one soup. The person and the cat ate, watched TV together, and then went to bed. They slept in the same bed, and the Royal Kitchen Cat was a little satisfied.

Everything was quiet, and Si Qingyan whispered:

"Do you want to transform into a human?"

The Royal Kitchen Cat suddenly opened his eyes.

There was a kitten in the room that was very similar to Nan Qiao's fat orange cat.

The kitten walked through the door and came to the balcony.

This move through the wall shocked the Imperial Kitchen Cat completely. He got off the bed carefully and went out to the balcony, with a look of alertness on his face.

"I am a friend of Nan Qiao and the others." Si Qingyan said straight to the point.

"How is your majesty now?" The Imperial Kitchen Cat was still very defensive.

"They are all doing well. After a while, they should all be able to transform. Do you want to stay with them?"

"I... can't leave for the time being." The Imperial Kitchen Cat hesitated.

"Is it because of that girl?"

"Yes." The Royal Chef Cat's eyes were very bitter, but there was also tenderness in them.

"I can take the time to come over and teach you. If you don't go to Nan Qiao's place, it will take four or five years for you to transform. During this time, she may get married."

"I don't have anything. It might be better for her to get married." Yuchu Mao sighed softly, looked at the few stars above his head, and said with far-away eyes:

"The lifespan of a cat is not long. I can only accompany her for more than ten years at most. Whether she transforms into another or not does not make much difference to me."

"Practice can extend life. The spiritual energy of this world is relatively exhausted. Even if you succeed in transforming, you will only have a lifespan of a hundred years, which is not much different from other people." Si Qingyan said lightly.

"Then...what do you want from me?" Yu Chumao really didn't understand Si Qingyan's purpose.

"It's just an entrustment. If you have any unique recipes, you can teach them to me." Si Qingyan thought for a while and said.

"good."

Chef Cat agreed.

He is definitely different from other cats.

Nan Qiao and Ayun are both somewhat idealistic, and their every move exudes the aura of being of noble birth and never worrying about food, clothing, housing, and transportation. The Royal Kitchen Cat is very down-to-earth. His mind is filled with money, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. He will be moved when he meets a girl he likes.

Si Qingyan then led a life of supervising the cats to practice during the day and running a small stove for the royal kitchen cats at night. In order to learn the recipes of the Royal Kitchen Cat, he would also bring some ingredients over. As long as he added a soundproof barrier to the kitchen, he would not be discovered.

Si Qingyan no longer has to eat anything she wants, and can eat whatever she wants. Teach it day by day. The royal chef cat showed off its skills, and Si Qingyan had a feast.

After about two months, the Royal Kitchen Cat was able to practice alone, with a solid foundation, and the cats in the Cat Academy could also take the initial form. Although he can't maintain it all the time like Si Qingyan, he can still go out for a walk.

Si Qingyan finally made up his mind to leave. On a Friday night, he brought a pot of good wine and came to drink with the imperial chef cat.

The Royal Kitchen Cat did not prepare a large table of dishes as usual, but only made a few side dishes that Si Qingyan liked to go with the wine. He set up a table on the balcony and was able to turn into a human form for a short time with the help of Si Qingyan's light. The two looked at the moon. Let's sit down and chat about trivial matters.

"When I was six years old, there was a famine in my hometown. No matter what, surviving was the best thing. I entered the palace and became a little eunuch, specializing in lighting fires for the big eunuch. It was common to starve and freeze."

After the Royal Kitchen Cat transformed, he turned into a handsome and kind-hearted man, who looked to be in his thirties and very calm.

"There are a lot of little eunuchs like me in the palace. Little palace maids like Lingdang are rare. She is from Concubine Rong's palace. When she comes occasionally, all the old and young eunuchs in the imperial kitchen gather around her and are extremely enthusiastic. Yes, one bell at a time, sister.”

"She looks good, and she has two sweet dimples when she smiles. I can't even look at her."

"The prince born to Concubine Rong died of illness. During that time, Concubine Rong had a quarrel with the emperor, saying that the emperor didn't care about their prince at all, and they made a big fuss. We eunuchs all know that, let alone other places."

"The only concubine in the palace who does not give honor to the emperor is Concubine Rong. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. It is no wonder that the emperor tolerates her countless times."

"After Concubine Rong quarreled with His Majesty, she closed the palace and refused to leave. The Emperor was not allowed to enter."

"During that time, Concubine Rong was treated coldly by His Majesty and fell ill. People in the palace said that Concubine Rong had fallen out of favor and was afraid that she would die soon."

"Ling Ding was beaten by other concubines. Her face was swollen and red. The group of snobbish eunuchs in the imperial kitchen also laughed at her for being stupid and doing many things."

"I secretly boiled two eggs and rolled them in her face, and they were cooked like this. It turned out that she and I were from the same hometown, and she also entered the palace because of the famine."

"We have become acquainted, and I call her Sister Lingdang."

"Later, with the intervention of the Queen, Concubine Rong regained her favor. Thanks to Sister Lingdang's care, I was able to find a great chef and learn good cooking skills."

"Sister Lingdang will leave the palace to get married when she is twenty-five years old. I only hope that she can marry a good man and be happy and worry-free for the rest of her life."

"I have saved all the money in the palace for her, and I plan to buy more for her when she gets married. Concubine Rong has chosen a general for Sister Lingdang. He is a hard-working, steady and loyal person. Sister Lingdang said that she would have more children. Son, give me a refill."

"I thought life would go on like this forever, with everyone having a way of living and a goal to pursue."

"Who would have thought that the barbarians used firearms to invade the palace that day, and the fire filled the sky. I hid in the stove and escaped."

"It was raining heavily. I went to Concubine Rong's palace. When I opened the door, I saw Ling Dang sleeping on the ground, her body and head separated."

"Her head rolled to my feet and her eyes were still open."

"I have had this dream day and night, and I still think about it often."

"Then it was like a big dream. I didn't know how long it took, but when I woke up, I became a cat in the palace. The emperor, the queen, and Concubine Rong all turned into cats."

"I had never been able to talk to such a big shot before, and I didn't want to talk to him anymore."

"I've been looking for the bell. There isn't one in the palace. I wanted to go outside the palace, but I still couldn't find her."

"Sometimes I don't know what to do with my life, so I just cook in the kitchen and practice my skills. I didn't expect that I would be captured by surveillance cameras and sent to the laboratory."

"I kept silent, and the surveillance camera didn't capture it clearly. They just thought I had learned a lesson from others and didn't pay much attention to it. Later, they temporarily kept me in a cage. I escaped while the cage door was not locked tightly. , encountered the present bell.”

"She looks so much like Ling Dang, even the position of her birthmark is exactly the same. I don't know if she is the reincarnation of Ling Dang, but all I want in this life is to be with her and see her happy. It took a lot of effort for me to find such a person. We can’t lose her.”

The Royal Kitchen Cat drank one glass after another, and became drunk, and his eyes became heavy because he had hidden too much sorrow. Thinking of those precious memories of the past and the smiles of old friends, I felt tender again.

"The first time I saw her, she was about to jump off a bridge."

"The little girl has been unhappy all day long since she was young. Now she has to support me, which is much better."

"When I make some more money from live streaming, I can let her buy a big house."

When the chef cat said this, he smiled even more happily.

Si Qingyan drank two glasses of wine and said:

"After suffering all the hardships, it's not bad. If you have the heart, just pursue it directly after transforming. This life is hard-won, so do it and cherish it."

"If you succeed, Nan Qiao and the others will definitely give you some good things."

"I am so humble, why should your majesty and the others care about me?"

The imperial chef cat offered Si Qingyan a glass of wine, hoping that Si Qingyan would express his gratitude to Nan Qiao and others on his behalf.

"Everyone is equal now, and those old rituals are no longer in use. Get used to it, Nan Qiao and the others will treat you as a friend."

"It was an honor."

"By the way... I have a question I've been wanting to ask you. Please tell me the truth." Si Qingyan said solemnly.

"You ask." Yuchu Mao became nervous.

"You haven't been sterilized in this life, right?" Si Qingyan asked in a low voice, and quickly added:

"If it's anything like that...I can also cure it for you."

"Cough cough cough..." The Royal Kitchen Cat coughed violently, his face turned red from coughing, and he said:

"Excuse me, I don't have this."

Si Qingyan saw that there was really no problem with Yuchu Mao, so she felt relieved and returned to the villa.

The poop shoveler of the Royal Kitchen Cat family smiles with crooked eyebrows and sweet dimples. He is clumsy, but has a pure heart and may make a good couple in the future.

After Si Qingyan relayed the current situation of Yuchu Cat to other cats, everyone expressed their blessings and decided to give Yuchu Cat some money. Although live broadcasting makes a lot of money, it is not a long-term solution. If the kitchen cat attracts the attention of others, it will be bad if it is captured again.

Si Qingyan also thought it was good and got a bank card to send to Yuchu Mao. How to use it was Yuchu Mao's problem.

The next day was a sunny day, and everyone decided to revisit their old places and visit the Forbidden City. There were too many people to fit in one car, and when we rented a bus and there were ghosts and animals, the cats had no choice but to turn into their own bodies, and then turn into human forms again when they were about to arrive. Si Qingyan used magic to isolate himself from surveillance, so he wasn't worried about revealing his flaws.

A hundred years ago, they were the owners of this palace.

A few months ago, they were cats in this palace.

Now, they have re-entered the palace as humans.

A newly aired documentary was being played on the big screen, and Lao Xia's face appeared on the screen. He said seriously:

"Why are we talking about the cats in the Forbidden City in this issue? Because now, cats are the little masters who live here."

"According to incomplete statistics, there are currently more than 200 cats in the Forbidden City. These cats are our mouse-catching experts in the Forbidden City, saving a lot of manpower and material resources for our maintenance work. Everyone knows our Internet celebrity cat Fat Tiger , is everyone’s little treasure. During the filming process, we captured a lot of shots of Fat Tiger..."

That was a shot from a long time ago.

Bright yellow glazed tiles contrast with the vermilion palace walls, with blue sky and white clouds overhead. A fat orange cat sleeps lazily on the roof, making people very worried that it will suddenly roll down. It is obviously just a cat, but its eyes are stern, as if it is rich in the world and intimidating the world.

No matter how powerful its eyes are, it still looks cute because of its huge size. It makes people want to get their hands on it very much.

Nan Qiao, who had transformed into a human form, looked at his past self with a complicated face.

Concubine Rong poked him with her elbow and said with a smile:

"Look, Fat Tiger."

Nan Qiao turned around and saw that under the palace wall, a group of beautiful ladies were surrounding a chubby orange cat, feeding it cat food and cat snacks. The orange cat has a royal pattern on its head. Although its eyes are not as domineering as Nan Qiao's, it is unexpectedly gentle and willing to be touched and licked. It is well-behaved and very lovable.

"Nan Qiao, did you fail to control your estrus well when you were in the palace before..." Ayun couldn't help but be suspicious.

"No, it was dyed." Si Qingyan explained to Nan Qiao in time.

"Damn it! You dare to imitate me. In the past, you would have been beheaded!"

As Nan Qiao said this, he went to buy canned cats and started stroking the fake version of the fat tiger.

"It's so damn good to touch!"

"Young man, why do you look familiar to me?" Lao Xia, who came out to bask in the sun while doing inspections, looked at Nan Qiao's face and asked suspiciously.

"Maybe it's because I'm handsome." Nan Qiao touched his face, a little embarrassed.

Lao Xia felt that this was indeed the reason, nodded and moved to the next palace. The sign hanging at the door is - Daqian Memorial Hall.

Lao Xia was suddenly stunned when he saw the portrait hanging on the wall.

The last emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, Yan Nanqiao, died for his country and would rather die than surrender. He was only twenty-six years old when he died. The portrait of him when he was young actually looked a bit like the young man who had just petted a cat.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the aristocratic families took advantage of the chaos and fought back against the royal family. The leader won the world and established the country as Gan. Since then, the emperor and the literati have ruled the country with ease. The Yan royal family established their family with poetry, books and etiquette, and ruled the world with benevolence, reappearing the legacy of Wei and Jin, but with the prosperity of Han and Tang dynasties. However, after the peak of prosperity, it declined. In the last years of the Da Gan Dynasty, the technology lagged behind foreign countries. Under the siege of many countries, the last Han Dynasty perished.

Yan Nanqiao, the emperor of Da Gan, was posthumously named Yingzong by later generations, and the queen who died with him was posthumously named Empress Suwu. When they died, a fire broke out in the palace, and their bodies were incomplete, so there was no imperial mausoleum, and only a tomb for clothes and hats was built in a secluded place outside the capital.

When they were cats before, they never dared to come to this memorial hall.

Today, when I stepped in for the first time, I saw those short comments, and my heart was mixed. The life I had lived was finally condensed into a few lines in the history book. Fortunately, God has mercy on them and allowed them to return to a prosperous era. They can only watch the East rise and receive congratulations from all directions.
