Datang Imperial Physician

Chapter 179 It's New Year's Eve

"boom……"

"boom……"

"boom……"

This is not the sound of gunpowder. There is no gunpowder yet. Wei Chi is not a doctor of chemical engineering, nor is he a military genius. He does not know how to make artillery. This sound, no doubt, is the sound of popcorn.

Poor Wei Jia, since the popcorn was delivered, it has become very popular. First of all, Mr. Cheng Zhijie rushed to the door shamelessly to ask for it.

"Wei Xiaosi! You are so unkind! You only know how to honor your adoptive father, but not your uncle, you should be beaten!"

Early in the morning, Wei Jia was woken up by Cheng Zhijie's loud voice, rubbed his eyes, and came out yawning. When he saw Cheng Zhijie's black face, he woke up from any drowsiness, and asked quickly: "Uncle Cheng is here. What's wrong with my nephew?"

Cheng Zhijie waved his hand and said: "I know you are ignorant, don't pretend to be a gentleman. Say, why did you send some popcorn to your adoptive father's house, why didn't you send some to my Cheng's house? Wei Xiaosi, who has no conscience, usually I hurt you for nothing!"

Wei Chi felt dizzy when he heard it, and hurriedly said voluntarily: "What did Uncle Cheng say? How dare my nephew forget your old man? No, I'm going to make some more today and send them to the houses of several uncles." .”

"Count your acquaintances!"

Cheng Zhijie claimed that Wei Chi, as a nephew, respected his adoptive father but not his uncle. It should not be done, and should be treated equally. In short, it was repeated, meaning that as much as Wei Chi sent to the Qin family, the Cheng family had to have as much .Wei Jia agreed in a hurry, but his skill was really not as deep as others, so there was really no other way but to agree.

After satisfying his intention, Cheng Zhijie left contentedly. Poor Wei Jia spent the whole day in the sound of popcorn popping, which made his ears ringing, his eyes blurred, and his face was black and gray.At the end, I sighed: "Labor is the most glorious!"

Originally, I wanted to shout "Down with the feudal landlords", but it seems that he himself is also a member of the landlords. Isn't shouting "Down with the landlords" the same as "Down with yourself!"Pure nonsense!

Xie Jiu probably saw that he was pitiful, so he kindly comforted him: "If you don't experience wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow, you just treat it as a practice. When you can compare with Uncle Cheng, you will be a teacher."

Thinking of Cheng Zhijie's rascal, Wei Jia's eyes were full of tears, and he looked like he was speechless, and sighed: "I have experienced countless winds and rains, but why the hell hasn't the rainbow appeared yet? Isn't this tossing people?"

Xie Jiu laughed for a while, patted Wei Jia on the shoulder casually, and said, "It means that you haven't experienced enough wind and rain. If you don't go through a bit of cold, how can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms. Right?"

Wei Chi was speechless. In other words, this sister was not able to speak like this before, but now, she has practiced.Rainbow pinch?The rainbow in his house seems to be in the foreseeable future.

Two days before the Chinese New Year, His Majesty Li Er held a New Year's dinner. Officials of the fourth rank and above were allowed to participate. Wei Chi just reached the edge and was eligible to participate and could bring his family members.It's time to attend the dinner party, Wei Jia remembered what happened in the palace, so he hurriedly told Xie Jiu about it, and the two of them discussed it in detail.

Xie Jiu pondered, and asked, "What's your opinion?"

Wei Chi said: "The one named Li You last time, do you remember?"

Xie Jiu frowned slightly and nodded.Wei Chi said: "I heard that he is not in the ranks of returning to Beijing this time."

Xie Jiu's expression turned cold, and he said, "In this way, that Li You was deliberately released by that person to test us?"

Wei Chi said: "[-]% yes."

Xie Jiu thought for a while: "The subsequent attack should not have been instigated by that person. No wonder Li You was not in the ranks of returning to Beijing under the order."

Wei Chi said: "Li You is nothing to be afraid of. We are in the capital, and he is out of town. The traffic is not developed now, and the mountains are high and the roads are far away. Don't worry about him. But that Li Yuanchang, and Li Yin, that stupid man, although both of them are He is not the prince favored by His Majesty Li Er, but he still has a bit of a headache, if he is not afraid of thieves stealing, he is afraid of thieves thinking about him."

A cold light flashed in Xie Jiu's eyes, and he said, "It's better to strike first, and to suffer later! Tell me, if Your Majesty knows that Li Yuanchang often cares about Prince Chengqian, what will he think?"

Wei Chi laughed, and said, "Husband..."

As soon as he uttered a word, he immediately woke up, stopped quickly, and turned to another place: "The grand shape of Fubal Mausoleum is in a lake in Dongting. With a distant mountain in its mouth, swallowing the Yangtze River, the vast soup is endless; , the atmosphere is myriad; this is the grand view of Yueyang Tower, which has been described by the predecessors."

Xie Jiu's head was full of black lines, looking at Wei Jia's eyes, he was very pointed and tangled, and sighed: "What are you doing with Yueyang Tower?"

Wei Chi was serious, without changing his face: "I miss my middle school days. I was punished by the teacher to copy this article three times!"

Xie Jiu was speechless, and continued: "Let's think about how to let His Majesty Li Er know that Li Yuanchang often cares about Prince Chengqian!"

Wei Jia frowned and thought for a while, when he saw Xie Jiu's jewelry box, he remembered that when she gave her those gems and jades, she looked like a happy little woman, not because of the value of those things, but because Wei Jia gave her gifts. And rejoice.

Wei Chi suddenly remembered, and laughed.Xie Jiu frowned, and said coldly: "Don't be distracted! Concentrate!"

Wei Chi said: "I'm not distracted, I think His Majesty Li Er already knows."

Xie Jiu was shocked, and quickly asked: "How?"

Wei Jia hurriedly told the story that Prince Chengqian said that the treasures given by Li Yuanchang would be put into the inner treasury. How could His Majesty Li Er not know that a batch of valuable things were put into the inner treasury!Knowing that, you will definitely be curious about where Prince Chengqian came from. Prince Chengqian, that honest boy, will definitely tell the truth about the origin of the treasure to his emperor’s father, and he must also explain why he did this. what!

Xie Jiu smiled helplessly, and said, "Why is your luck so good? Li Yuanchang is nothing to worry about, but what about Li Yin? There's no good way to deal with foolish people!"

"Isn't his elder brother Li Ke still there? By the way, the throne of the King of Shu doesn't seem to be granted by a very favored child. I remember that later, when Li Tai and Chengqian failed to compete for the throne, one of them also became the king of Shu." Wang’s, isn’t Li Ke Taizong’s favorite child? Why was he named King of Shu in the first place?”

Xie Jiu smiled and said, "I'm not sure about this. The old and new Tang books say that Li Ke is very popular with Emperor Taizong. However, it seems that he made some mistakes in the early stage and even became the king of the county."

The two talked royal gossip for a while, packed up and prepared to enter the palace.Xie Jiu doesn't like wearing fancy dress and make-up. He just lightly embellished his eyebrows and red lips. Not to mention Wei Jia, who dares to put powder on his face, he will definitely fight with others.

Wei Jia brought Xie Jiu into the palace, and consciously found a seat at the end. As soon as he took Xie Jiu to sit down, Cheng Zhijie's loud voice rang out: "Wei Silang, come now, come here, and see the elders."

Wei Zhi gave a wry smile, helped Xie Jiu up, and the two of them went over together, and from a distance, they saw Cheng Zhijie and his old adoptive father standing together to greet each other, and there was also a tall and burly man in brocade clothes with a middle-aged face, with handsome features and dignified features , very heroic, with a pair of eyes, peaceful and clear.

After saluting, Mr. Qin said: "Si Lang, come here and introduce to you. This is King Zhao Jun, an old comrade-in-arms of my father."

Who is King Zhao Jun? !
By the way, Wei Jia didn't specialize in history, so he really didn't know. Looking at Xie Jiu, Xie Jiu also shook his head.Prince Zhao smiled kindly and said: "I haven't been out for a long time, so it's understandable that Shi Lang and his wife don't know me, so does Li Xiaogong."

Just say the name, Wei Jia and Xie Jiu knew it, so they saluted quickly.This old prince is one of the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, he is loyal and generous, and has a good popularity and reputation in the royal family of the Tang Dynasty and among the generals.

After seeing the ceremony again, the old prince smiled and said: "I like the tea made by Shiro very much. It tastes fragrant, quiet and far-reaching, which is very unique. I have always wanted to meet the person who can make such wonderful things. Today I saw it, and it really lived up to its reputation. .”

Wei Chi laughed and said, "My lord, please don't praise me. Boy, I know that I am too detached, which is very different from the connotation of tea leaves. It is more embarrassing for you to praise me like this than to scold me."

King Zhaojun laughed for a while, and said: "Having such a feeling, it shows that you are extraordinary. Brother Shubao's adoptive son is not a vulgar thing! Brother Shubao got a good son when he was old, and he is very enviable. He is not like my family. Those little bastards! They only know how to cause trouble for me all day long."

Mr. Qin laughed out loud, obviously very proud, but also pretending to be modest: "It's nothing, Shiro is also naughty, he sips my Qin Meng and does a lot of dumbfounding things. A lot of age, and still follow behind the two of them to help clean up the mess."

Prince Zhao laughed and said, "Isn't that the case for Lao Tzu?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the fathers present laughed.After talking and laughing for a while, they returned to their seats and sat down. His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun arrived.

For a New Year's dinner, regardless of past and future generations, the process is similar. First, the leader gives a speech, and then drinks.Xie Jiu was pregnant and couldn't drink, so Wei Jia called the waiter early and exchanged a pot of warm water for Xie Jiu to drink.

Anyway, at this kind of banquet, Wei Zhi, a fourth-rank official, is the role of the last seat. Besides, the young couple doesn't want to attract attention, so they quietly huddle at their tails and eat in a muffled voice.Today's food, in Wei Jia's opinion, is okay, but the mutton doesn't suit Xie Jiu's taste very much. If he wants to eat pork, he doesn't have it, and the palace doesn't like eating that.

"Let's eat more coarse grains. Look, there are corn tortillas and cabbage. Let's eat these."

Wei Zhi picked a lot of food for Xie Jiu, and Xie Jiu lowered his head to eat, enjoying it with peace of mind.Since Xie Jiu became pregnant, Wei Jia single-handedly took care of her meals. It was the same at home. It was even worse on the first day. With a big bowl of food, she smirked by herself, which made Xie Jiu funny for a while, and sweet for a while.Women like the feeling of being held in the palm of their hand.

Greeting Xie Jiu to eat, Wei Jia did not forget to say hello to his colleagues around him. Everyone had cheerful smiles on their faces, and the monarch and his ministers had fun together, but that was all.

"Master Wei, Lord Wei."

A young official next to Wei Jia called him. Wei Jia turned his head and saw a handsome young man he didn't know. He sighed again, why are there so many handsome men in Tang Dynasty!
"This lord is..."

The young man said with a smile: "I'm going to perform at the lower level, and I have admired Lord Wei's reputation for a long time. It is also a good thing to be able to sit together today."

Gao Shixing, Wei Jia has heard of this person before, the one of Princess Shang Chengyang, his father is Gao Shilian, the uncle of Empress Changsun, a famous handsome guy.

In other words, the Gao family and the eldest grandson's family were famous for their beautiful looks back then, which was passed down to the eldest grandson empress brother and sister. The eldest grandson empress is very beautiful, why did eldest grandson Wuji have a round face?So-called genetic variation? !
While thinking about other people's gossip, he chatted casually with Gao Xing. He is a very nice young man, knowledgeable, not pedantic, kind and friendly, not too dandy.

"Why doesn't Master Wei eat mutton? Don't you like it?"

Wei Chi smiled wryly: "My family..."

Just about to say the word Madam, Xie Jiu cast a meaningful look, Wei Jia quickly stopped and changed his words: "Our whole family is not used to eating mutton, it tastes too strong!"

"Then what kind of meat do you usually eat?"

"It's just chicken, duck, fish, and pork."

"Pork? How do you eat it? I heard that Mr. Wei is one of the best when it comes to food. Please give me some pointers. To be honest, I've eaten too much mutton and I'm tired of it. It's good to change the taste once in a while. "

Gao Xing said with a smile, Wei Jia looked at him twice, and he really spoke sincerely, so he simply taught him a few ways to cook pork. In the Tang Dynasty, mutton was a noble food, and ordinary people could not afford it.Pork is the food of ordinary people, and it is only eaten once in a while.

At the banquet, twos and threes, people sitting nearby, talked and laughed together, and the atmosphere was very lively.His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun raised their wine glasses together, and His Majesty Li Er said loudly: "My lords, please drink this cup to the brim, do it!"

"Dry!"

In fact, there is nothing special about the New Year banquet, just drinking and composing poems, and they are not forced. After all, there are many generals present, and not all of them are good at composing poems.
