The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1802 Dog Training

Looking at the long sword hanging at Qiao Rong's waist, even the Imperial Academy couldn't find a match for him. The plump and fair-skinned Hong Yuncong also knew how sharp the sword at his waist was.

He shook Cheng Youning's arm: "Brother-in-law, your people are bullying me!"

He was much fatter than Cheng Youning, and he was shaking Cheng Youning's arm. If there weren't so many people around, Cheng Youning would definitely have pushed him away with her foot.

Cheng Youning looked at the arm that was being held by someone. Those chubby little hands had been beaten into two red buns by the old teacher's ruler. She cursed in her heart that he deserved it, but she couldn't be harsh with him, after all, so many people were watching!

"If Qiao Rong says there are no jujube cakes, then there aren't any left. If you want some, I'll have someone send some to the Imperial College tomorrow so we can all share!"

Just then, the copper bell under the eaves rang again. The bell rang at the perfect time. Cheng Youning ruthlessly pulled her arm away and patted Hong Yuncong's shoulder to appease him, "Class is starting! Want some jujube cakes tomorrow?"

Cheng Youning walked in front, and Qiao Rong walked behind. "Your Highness shouldn't have spoiled him. You shouldn't have given him jujube cakes tomorrow!"

"Don't you know his own brain? He's troublesome. If he shouts a few times, he'll only embarrass me, the Crown Prince." Cheng Youning has already lost face enough because of Hong Yuncong, and he doesn't want such embarrassing things to happen again!

Qiao Rong said, "He cheated and took shortcuts; he doesn't deserve to eat jujube cakes!"

"There are plenty of poor students from the local area. If he has money, let him spend it! Let's make things easier for those poor students."

"This is against the rules!"

"Didn't you hear that too! The old teachers have sharp eyes; let them cheat if they're not afraid of getting beaten." Thinking of Hong Yuncong being beaten by the old teachers and screaming in pain, Cheng Youning couldn't help but curl her lips upwards. When the bell rang again during the lunch break, Cheng Youning was the first to run out of the classroom, with Qiao Rong chasing after her, carrying a stack of books. "Your Highness, slow down!"

Su Changjing also ran out: "Where is Your Highness going in such a hurry?"

Song Qianyuan pursed her lips and shook her head, her eyes full of disapproval. "He came with a hunting dog. He ran so fast, he probably skipped class this afternoon!"

"Big Yellow is here too, let's go see him!" Several students from the advanced class ran towards the gate of the Imperial College. They were all dog lovers and wanted to tease the dogs they saw.

Beside the carriage, Da Huang was wagging its tail and shaking its head around Cheng Youning, who was teasing Da Huang with a small piece of dried meat in her hand.

"Your Highness, aren't you going to the dining hall for lunch? Today we have deep-fried small yellow croaker!" Su Changjing knew that Cheng Youning liked this dish, so he deliberately revealed today's menu to Cheng Youning!

The cooks in the dining hall probably knew that the prince loved to eat deep-fried small yellow croaker, so this dish would appear on the dining hall's menu every three to five days!

Cheng Youning patted non-existent dust off her hands and said with a smile, "I'm not eating the deep-fried yellow croaker either, I'll go eat it at Manjiang Bridge!"

Upon hearing the name Manjiang Bridge, the students all thought of Four Happiness Meatballs. It was lunchtime, and their stomachs were rumbling. Some even drooled at the thought of Four Happiness Meatballs. Su Changjing was one of them. "Your Highness, do you need us to keep you company? We all have time at noon!"

Cheng Youning glanced at the group of scholars before him, feeling no goodwill whatsoever, and said perfunctorily, "This Crown Prince will just grab a bite at Manjiang Bridge, and then head to the hunting grounds outside the South City! I'll bring you jujube cakes tomorrow!"

"Your Highness is leaving the city?"

"I, the Crown Prince, am going to discipline Big Yellow!"

Everyone present looked on with envy, except for Song Qianyuan, who kept a straight face. "Isn't the Crown Prince going to class this afternoon?"

"I'll send someone to let you know, sir! You won't be coming this afternoon!"

"The imperial examination is just around the corner. Doesn't Your Highness want to achieve good results?"

Cheng Youning was furious; this person was even trying to control him, the Crown Prince. But he had to maintain a facade of composure, so he said casually, "Your Highness will make up for any missed lessons!"

With that, he slapped the dog's head, and both he and the dog got into the car!

To train the dog, Cheng Youning even invited his father, a hunter by trade, to help.

Upon receiving his son's message, Cheng Feng assumed it was about going hunting outside the city, so he brought all his hunting gear. When he learned it was about training the dog, Cheng Feng stared at Da Huang for a long time. "Son, you asked your father to come just to train it?"

Cheng Youning nodded seriously, "Father, you don't know, in yesterday's competition, my dog ​​didn't live up to my expectations. I want Father to help me train it!"

Cheng Feng was in a dilemma. He should agree to the child's request, but! "Daddy has never trained a dog! Besides, this is an adult hunting dog, it's already been trained. You'll have to raise a new one and train it from a puppy before it'll be close to you!"

Cheng Youning hooked her arm around Da Huang's neck. "Daddy, Da Huang is also very close to me. It's good in every way, except it's not so good at hunting!"

"If this is a good prospect, it'll bite any rabbit it sees!"

In short, Cheng Feng's idea was for Cheng Youning to raise a cub, which was the same as Wan Lianxing's opinion! But Cheng Youning liked Da Huang, so there was nothing he could do. Thus, the father and son began training Da Huang while hunting in the hunting grounds.

In one afternoon, the two of them harvested a large number of rabbits. Cheng Feng took half of them back to Prince Pang's Mansion, while Cheng Youning sent the other half to the Imperial Kitchen. Under Cheng Youning's direction, a table was set with rabbit meat: cold-served rabbit, spicy rabbit cubes, spicy rabbit legs, Zigong-style fresh pot rabbit, pan-fried rabbit, hand-shredded rabbit with dipping sauce, boiled rabbit, cold spicy rabbit cubes, rabbit with mugwort dipping sauce, and some other dishes that Wan Lianxing couldn't even name. In short, the main ingredient was rabbit. Wan Lianxing was so surprised that he almost jumped up.

Cheng Youning, however, took a plate and chopsticks and served food to Wan Lianxing. "Grandpa, this boiled rabbit is a must-try!"

"Didn't we eat rabbit meat yesterday?"

Cheng Youning said, as if taking credit, "We didn't hunt many rabbits yesterday, so we didn't make as many dishes as we did today. Grandpa, this stir-fried rabbit meat with Buddha's hand is also very tender, you should try it!"

Wan Lianxing meant that he didn't want to eat rabbit meat, just like Cheng Youning didn't want to eat jujube cakes!

"You went hunting again today?"

Cheng Youning sounded a bit dejected when the topic of hunting came up. "That big yellow dog wasn't very good at hunting, so my grandson asked his father to train it for me."

Before Cheng Youning disciplined Da Huang, he still had some hope for Da Huang. But after he disciplined Da Huang, he was completely disappointed!

"You even hired your dad to train dogs?" Wan Lianxing was thinking, did your dad really train dogs for you?

Cheng Youning stuffed a piece of white-cut rabbit into her mouth, her eyes squinting from the aroma. "Dahuang isn't as fast as me, and it's not as good at catching rabbits as my dad. My dad and I have caught more rabbits than Dahuang. My dad said the same thing as my great-uncle: if you want to be satisfied, you have to raise a small one, provided it's a good breed. Great-uncle, have some!"

As she spoke, Cheng Youning picked up her chopsticks again, took a piece of diced meat from a plate, and placed it on Wan Lianxing's plate. "Grandpa, this dish is good too, it's spicy!"
