The small courtyard was built much prettier than they had imagined. According to Xie Jingxi and Gu Yun's request, the eaves were built with bamboo plates, and there was enough space for resting and moving around along the stage. Inside the courtyard, there were grape arbors, similar to the one in Marquis Mansion, which could be used to eat grapes after sitting under the grape arbors in two months. There were also a few rows of fine bamboo plants that filled the flower beds beside the wall.

The courtyard was beautiful indeed, but there were not many places that could stand on foot, and it was practically filled with all sorts of flowers and herbs that Xie Jingxi wanted. When Gu Yun came in, he couldn't help but laugh, ”My wife, it's fortunate that we didn't dig a pond to raise fish in, otherwise we would probably have to swim over.”

Xie Jingxi was very satisfied, ”What's wrong with that? It's fine to get a large vat here, but I think that's good. It's very lively, but it's actually just watching the show, and it's different in the winter.”

”Lady! Look at the road, I don't even know where Xiao Jiu went. Be careful not to let him run into me. ”

Before even seeing a shadow, Ming Yu had already started clamoring. She had stayed over a month to clean and decorate the house, the courtyard was so beautiful, it had helped a lot, but what the hell was this Xiao Jiu?

Gu Yun used his eyes to look around, and saw a black mass of thing under the grape arbor.

Xie Jingxi followed Gu Yun's line of sight and looked at him with a straight face, ”Ming Yu, where did you get such a little thing? A cat and a dog, and it's even a rabbit.

Ming Yu ran over and held up that shivering guy, as if he was offering a treasure to his daughter. ”Miss, quickly take a look, is it really similar to 8 pieces?

Xie Jingxi and Gu Yun stared at each other, unable to say a word as they stared at the thing. From its outer appearance, it looked as fat as Xie Bakuai, but its black fur looked thinner than Xie Bakuai, and its glass-like eyes were even more beautiful than Xie Bakuai's. In truth, it was not a problem with that, it was just that its expression was too cowardly.

Every single strand of hair on its body showed that no matter where the old man squatted, it was like a king who looked down on everything. Even if the one in front of him was a tiger, the other party would remain calm, but Xiao Jiu was the exact opposite. He was so cowardly that he didn't even dare to lift his head, turning white from a pair of beautiful cat eyes.

Xie Jingxi laughed unkindly, ”So you gave it the name of Xiao Jiu?”

”Yeah, going down the eight pieces, nine pieces is too hard to listen to, so let's just call it Little Jiu. Miss might not look fat, but it's very young, and it can be compared to us for a few years. Little Jiu also has some fate with us, he came to our yard by himself, I saw that he looks pretty good, so I decided to keep him, but at night you have to be careful when you come out, and you can easily step on him.”

Therefore, she had to be careful. For such a black thing, other cats would be able to distinguish it with their cat eyes. Xie Xiaojiu wished that she could close his eyes and stomp it to death.

Gu Yun carried Xie Xiaojiu over, and started to play with its claws, ”Have you checked carefully if you've carried it back? It's not easy to find unclean insects hidden in the black fur, so you have to wash it every day. Xi, stop playing with it, it's not good to scratch it with unfamiliar little toys.”

I don't know where it came from, but Ming Yu said: ”Young Master, please be at ease. I am very careful, I have checked back and forth several times and my claws are also pruned every day. Next door, Miss Zou Ling has already helped me look over them, and said that there is nothing wrong with it.”

Xie Jingxi asked her: ”Zou Ling will come to help often, let's move in today and invite her to a meal. It's not good for me to always trouble you.” She looked at Xie Xiaojiu, who was in Gu Yun's embrace, and was already trembling like a sieve. ”Quickly put it down, eight pieces are convinced upon seeing it. Xie Xiaojiu is so cowardly, don't scare it to death.”

Gu Yun laughed and casually threw it away. Xie Xiaojiu trembled so much that she couldn't even stand straight. She hid her neck in the flowers and grass and didn't dare to come out.

”Miss Zou Ling did indeed come to help out a lot. Almost all of the family's food was given by her, and many of these flowers and plants were picked for me by her. She's a good person.”

Xie Jingxi looked at Gu Yun with a smile that was about to break into a smile, ”Alright then, let's go invite her to dinner.”

Gu Yun came over to pinch her face, ”I've never seen you this magnanimous before.”

Whatever, we can't pretend that we don't know each other. Regardless of what other people are thinking, at the very least, they treat us very well on the surface.

The most amazing thing was that Xie Xiaojiu actually came out from the pile of flowers and grass with a trembling body, walking towards her direction. Although she was a little hesitant, she was really obedient, and with one hand, Zou Ling held it up, spun in the air twice, and then threw it upwards to catch it. Xie Xiaojiu looked as if she was going to be picked up by her master the entire time, and even opened her eyes in a very respectful manner.
