Chapter 338 Raising Silkworms
......
"Get up quickly, something has happened."
The courtyard of the little clam clan was suddenly brightly lit with candles.
Everyone was still sleepy-eyed and a bit grumpy from waking up.
"What's wrong? It's the middle of the night, can't a person get any sleep?"
"Something terrible has happened." The little clam girl pulled her companions up: "The chieftain has summoned Rabbit Fur."
"what!"
The little females were instantly wide awake.
They quickly gathered around.
"What's going on? Why did the clan leader summon Rabbit Fur so late?"
"Who knows?" The little female was extremely anxious: "I went to the backyard to fetch water and happened to run into Sister Sang'er. It was Sister Sang'er who told me herself."
Upon hearing this, it would be a lie for the little river clam girls not to be anxious.
Just look at the Eagle Clan and you'll know.
The Eagle Clan's forging skills have earned them a place in their own clan.
The pottery of the Tiger Clan is also highly regarded.
Not to mention the Night Bird Clan.
Sang'er's banquets are renowned throughout the land, and no one in the family dares to disrespect her.
Only them, only their six clans.
He has made no contribution to the family so far, lives in constant fear, is always cautious and careful, and is always watching how others behave.
Now that the clan leader had personally summoned them, how could they not be anxious?
Being one step behind others can lead to falling far behind.
They understand this principle.
"No, we can't just sit here and wait to die."
The older female stood up and pulled a small animal skin bag from under the mattress.
"Aunt Luo!"
The little females' eyes instantly welled up with tears.
"This is your savings for your retirement; you absolutely cannot touch it."
Their little clam clan was cruelly wiped out in their early years. Aunt Luo raised them herself. In order to take care of them, she suffered all kinds of humiliation in the bear clan, which ruined her health at a young age, and she didn't even have any offspring.
These sea coins are her means of support in her old age; how could they take them!
"Stop crying! What's there to cry about!"
Aunt Luo glared at them, opened the animal skin bag, and found about thirty sea coins scattered inside. The edges of the sea coins were rounded and smooth, obviously collected over a long time and secretly touched countless times.
"If we don't plan now, when will we? For the sake of the future, we can't skimp on these sea coins." She placed the animal skin bag in the little female's hand: "Use these sea coins to bribe officials and ask the rabbit tribe what they're up to. Building good relations with the rabbit tribe is our only way out."
"Aunt Luo..."
"Take it!"
The young females could only accept it with red eyes.
Of course, thirty sea coins were definitely not enough, but the family had given out celebratory money for both births of cubs. With that, the group managed to scrape together over seventy sea coins, which gave them some confidence.
the other side.
The fox clan also received the news.
They were shocked: "What's going on? Why call someone over so late?"
"Who knows, I heard it's been three hours and Rabbit Fur still hasn't returned. The Little Clam Clan even sent gifts over. Should we also give something in return?"
Three hours...
Hearing this, they became somewhat uneasy.
The clan leader has been calling people over for so long, it can't be because he's taken a fancy to that kid Rabbit Fur, since Rabbit Fur has already formed a bond with someone.
Then there is only one possibility.
The chieftain wanted to promote the rabbit clan, as they possessed the skill of silkworm breeding.
"Boss!"
"So noisy!" The fox leader was extremely annoyed. It wasn't that they hadn't tried to curry favor; when the rabbit clan was currying favor with the North Sea, they had sent gifts, but the rabbits refused to accept them and returned them untouched.
"Boss, why don't we ask Sister Sang'er?" someone suggested.
The fox leader looked up, his eyes lighting up.
"That's a good idea. Go and find out. Even just showing your face would be helpful." We can't let the clan leader forget about them, can we?
The little foxes all agreed and hurried off.
......
Here.
Bai Sang'er felt a little helpless.
I didn't sleep a wink all night. People came to give gifts and inquire about things, one after another. Even the Tiger Clan and Eagle Clan came.
However, looking at the handsome young fox spirit in front of her, she still couldn't bear to refuse.
After all, the little foxes are all outstanding in appearance, speak sweetly, and know how to coax people.
There's always "Sister Sang'er" on one side and "Sister Sang'er" on the other, and she even has two little dimples when she smiles, which makes people's hearts melt.
"Actually, it's nothing serious," Bai Sang'er said. "The clan leader just asked about raising silkworms with rabbit fur and asked what kind of satin they wanted to weave."
satin?
The little fox didn't quite understand.
However, when the chieftain summoned people to inquire about silkworm farming, it meant he was truly preparing to promote the rabbit clan.
He couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "Sister Sang'er, if we're talking about raising silkworms, my fox clan can do it too. Could you let our leader meet the clan leader?"
“The clan leader isn’t someone you can just meet whenever you want; I can’t make that decision.”
Bai Sang'er instructed the little slave to bring over the animal hide.
"It's chilly early in the morning, hurry back, don't catch a cold."
The boy blushed and accepted the animal skin; he wasn't actually cold.
"Thank you, Sister Sang'er. I'll head back now."
And this scene was witnessed by Ying Ming.
He came to discuss the day of the grand ceremony.
According to clan rules, it was inconvenient for his family members to stay over before the contract was formed. After Feng Lin returned, they went back to Yanshan.
"Sister Sang'er, what's going on here?"
He stared at the two of them without blinking, looking aggrieved.
Bai Sang'er hadn't expected him to arrive at this time. Just as she was about to explain, the little fox clan member spoke up first: "Brother, please don't misunderstand, there's nothing between Sang'er and me..."
His face turned red with anxiety, and he looked completely at a loss.
This infuriated Ying Ming to no end.
"What are you pretending for? How disgusting!"
"Ying Ming!"
Bai Sang'er scolded.
"The clan leader is still inside, what's all this commotion about?"
"Sister Sang'er!"
Ying Ming was so angry he had a headache. He had come over full of joy, only to see this sly fox putting on an act. How could he not be angry?
He still felt wronged.
When he came over, he personally picked some small red berries. There weren't many small red berries this season, so he climbed over two mountains to pick the best ones. He finally managed to pick a bagful and wanted her to try them. But then he saw her exchanging glances with someone else.
"I told you not to misunderstand. He didn't come to see me specifically. He just came to inquire about the clan leader. Why are you getting so angry?"
Bai Sang'er stepped forward and patted him on the back to help him catch his breath.
The two rarely acted so intimately, and Ying Ming blushed, but her expression softened considerably.
"Really?" he asked again, "Then what did he want to know about the clan chief?"
Bai Sang'er told him the truth, not wanting him to misunderstand.
Hearing her explanation, Ying Ming blushed deeply.
Their ambiguous relationship was suddenly exposed, and he just wanted to disappear into the ground.
"Then why did you give him animal hides?" he questioned in a low voice.
Bai Sang'er said helplessly, "If you don't like it, I'll have a slave take it back."
"Forget it, why should I bother arguing with him?"
He knew that she held a very important place in the clan leader's heart. Everyone in the clan wanted to find out what the clan leader wanted to do from her. He could understand that, but of course, he couldn't be too careful.
"You are not allowed to flirt with the fox clan from now on."
"Okay, whatever you say."
"The rabbit race won't work either."
"definitely."
"The tiger clan won't work, and neither will the eagle clan."
"Good good."
That's more or less.
Ying Ming was satisfied.
"By the way, what did the Great Chieftain want to see the Rabbit Clan about?"
