Datang Imperial Physician

Chapter 180 It's New Year's Eve

The Spring Banquet seemed to be really popular with the monarchs and ministers. Wei Chi looked around and wondered if it would be better if it were a buffet reception!However, it seems that Chinese people's habits and current customs are not very suitable for buffets. When Wei Zhi went to the countryside, he once encountered the kind of people who went to eat, as long as the host did not take the initiative to add food, he would rather be hungry than eat the first meal. The shyness of the people in the second bowl is amazing.

Wei Chi didn't like to drink, and he didn't drink unless necessary. His hands were busy taking care of Xie Jiu's meals, and his ears were erect, listening to everyone's poems.However, it seems that the art of poetry in the early Tang Dynasty was not as developed as it was in the later period, and there were not many excellent works. However, Wei Chi believes that those who can abide by the mediocrity and write smooth poems according to the format are better than him, and the education they receive is different. The gap is the gap, there is no way, and it cannot be smoothed out by pirating one or two poems.

"I won't eat, I can't eat anymore."

Wei Jia piled up a pile of food like a hill in the bowl for Xie Jiu. Xie Jiu ate slowly, and saw the hill getting higher and higher, Wei Jia felt that it hadn't become less.

Covering her mouth with a handkerchief, Xie Jiu looked at Wei Jia sadly, her eyes were accusing, as if Wei Jia was forcing her to eat, Wei Jia was covered in cold sweat, and stammered: "Well, I was too involved for a while, I forgot If you can’t eat it, then I’ll eat it instead.”

After exchanging the bowls, Xie Jiu looked away in satisfaction, and took out a small bottle from his pocket, which contained the strawberry jam that Wei Zhi gave her, which was sweet and sour, very suitable.When you want to vomit, eat a small spoon, Xie Jiu likes it very much.

As for hawthorn and pickled plums, you can only eat a little occasionally, not too much.Hawthorn can promote uterine contraction, eating too much is easy to miscarriage, pickled plum, too much nutrition loss, contains nitrite, eating too much is not good for the fetus and adults, but occasionally when you are greedy, give Xie Jiu two try it.

Wei Jia buried his head in destroying the food, and felt his sleeve being pulled. He turned his head and saw that the little princess Sizi was leading his younger sister, Princess Xincheng, who had just learned to walk. The two of them looked at him together. The one who pulled his sleeve was the little princess .The two little sisters, standing together, are like two cute dolls, one big and one small.

Princess Xincheng can't speak yet, she can only pronounce some monosyllabic, meaningless words, and her little hand clearly points to Xie Jiu's jam bottle, obviously wanting it very much.

Sizi, the little princess is very well-behaved, so she called out first, "Hello, Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Wei."

Xie Jiu is pregnant, and now Wei Jia sees that the children of other families are full of fatherly love, let alone the little son of Princess Jinyang whom he loves and loves.

For today's banquet, there are cakes ordered from his cake shop, and Wei Jia also has them on the table. Xie Jiu has no appetite, Wei Jia doesn't like it, and the cake hasn't moved yet.Wei Jia and Xie Jiu looked at each other and smiled, Xie Jiu contributed her jam, Wei Jia picked up the cake, smeared it with jam, broke off small pieces and fed them.

In other words, because only one bottle of jam was successfully preserved, Wei Jia kept it at home to enjoy it very unkindly, and occasionally made jam cakes for his family Xie Jiu to enjoy, which made the beautiful sister very happy, and praised Wei Jia several times capable.

"What's on the cake? Master Wei's exclusive recipe?"

The taste of the jam was very fragrant and very attractive. The people next to him saw that Wei Jia was messing around with feeding the two little princesses, but they were too embarrassed to ask. In the end, it was Gao Xing, who had just become friends with Wei Jia, who asked.

"Oh, it's called jam. You can spread it on cakes and eat it with some pasta. It's strawberry jam. My wife is pregnant and likes sweet and sour things, so I bring a small bottle with me."

Gao Xun said: "Oh, it really is Master Wei's exclusive secret system. Master Wei's life is really enviable."

The jam is just a small bottle, and if you give it to the two little princesses, there will be nothing left. Gao Xingzheng is embarrassed to snatch food from other pregnant women and children, and swallows with the people next to him, making Wei Zhi smile secretly.

Xiaoxincheng is small, even if Wei Chi is feeding him, a small circle of mouth corners is covered with jam. After eating happily, he smiles at Wei Chi with a small grin, and sticks to him very rudely, dipping Wei Chi in jam.Wei Chi looked helplessly at the red mouth mark on her body, took out a handkerchief, and wiped it off for her.

"What would the little princess want to eat? Shrimp?"

Wei Zhi patiently took care of the two children to eat, but unfortunately did not make fish soup today, otherwise it would be nice to bring a bowl of fish soup to Xincheng.The life of this child is bitter. In the original history, she was only a little over one year old when the eldest grandson died. It is estimated that the eldest grandson's illness has something to do with her. She is not loved by her emperor's father. Her father took her by her side to raise her. Since she was a child, her father didn't love her, and her brother didn't love her. She was killed by her own son-in-law at the end of the day. Her fate was tragic.

With Wei Jia taking care of her, Empress Changsun was not worried, she just asked her nanny to come and take Xincheng away, but Jin Yang stayed with Wei Jia and handed it over to Wei Jia to take care of.

"Sizi is full!"

Squeezing her greasy mouth, Xiao Si said.Wei Chi smiled and helped her wipe her mouth, and asked a few questions about her daily life. Xie Jiu smiled lightly at the side, looked at one big and one small, and communicated very seriously.By the way, the two haven't seen each other for a long time.When he was talking happily, a voice said: "It's surprising that Master Wei and Jin Yang are so close."

Wei Chi looked up and saw that it was Lu Wang Li Yuanchang.Wei Chi said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. I don't know much about this little minister. He just has a bit of a childish affinity. This child likes to play with me, and laugh at me."

Lu Wangdao: "That's how it is. I just found out today that Master Wei is not only a doctor of Shangyao Bureau, but also a young minister of Sinong Temple, and a post in the Ministry of War. He can be said to be both civil and military. On this festival, should Master Wei show his talents? How about a poem?"

Ah, it was definitely to save him on purpose!
Wei Chi was not angry either, but frowned, with a troubled expression on his face, and said, "My lord, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. I'm not good at writing, I'm not good at martial arts. If I write poems and articles, I feel sleepy when I pick up a pen. Fighting a war, I'm afraid I will become a deserter as soon as the war starts. The so-called getting on the horse will delay the military plane, and dismounting the people will delay the people. I am talking about it. People value self-knowledge, both civil and military. Such words are scolding me. Fortunately, I can still be a little bit Small medical skills, for a living, it is better to practice medical skills."

King Lu laughed and said: "According to what you said, it would be good to let you be a doctor of the Shangyao Bureau. This young minister of Sinong Temple, if you do it, I am afraid that you will also be a vegetarian."

Wei Chi looked surprised, gave a thumbs up, and said to King Kualu, "My lord is so wise. I didn't even look at it, so I knew that the minister's corpse was a vegetarian meal. It just so happens that the minister is also worried about being a bad official." Well, I also want to tell my old man to go back to my hometown, or else, my lord can help me talk about it, let's go home and farm!"

King Lu was about to speak, when His Majesty Li Er spoke up and said, "Okay, okay, Ziyue, please don't say a few words. Yuanchang, you are new to Wei Ziyue, and you don't know him. This kid is very talkative." If he can talk, the dead can make him talk alive, you have to pick and listen to his words, otherwise, he will faint you."

Wei Chi laughed and said, "Your Majesty, do you praise your ministers so much or scold them? The minister's position is low and his talents are low, so he really cannot deserve His Majesty's compliment."

His Majesty Li Er said: "I scold you, not praise you!"

"Oh, that minister would like to thank Your Majesty for his guidance. If there are mistakes, we must resolutely correct them, and strive to make persistent efforts and reach new heights under His Majesty's guidance."

Wei Chi said with a smile without changing his face.His Majesty Li Er laughed out loud, and all the ministers also laughed together.King Lu squinted his eyes and looked at Wei Chi coldly, and said in a low voice to Prince Chengqian who was sitting above him: "Your Highness should stay away from this kind of eloquent talker, so as not to spoil His Highness and make you unable to explain to His Majesty."

After hearing this, Prince Chengqian looked at Li Yuanchang, frowned slightly, and did not speak.He remembered what His Majesty Li Er ordered him to tell him after he went to put those treasures in the inner treasury.His father, the emperor, told him that he is the crown prince, the future master of the Great Tang Dynasty. People with ulterior motives, how to distinguish between talented and untalented, this is up to Chengqian himself to comprehend, it cannot be taught by others, for those in high positions, knowing and employing people is a lifetime test.

Li Yuanchang saw that Prince Chengqian did not speak, and continued: "Your Highness is still young, and you still know people by likes and dislikes. This is wrong, and it will not be good for Your Highness in the future, Your Highness..."

Li Yuanchang wanted to say more, but Prince Chengqian interrupted him, saying: "Chengqian thanked Uncle Qi for his teaching, Chengqian saved how to sit, today is a good day, don't talk about unhappy things, Uncle Qi, please."

Not to mention Prince Chengqian and Li Yuanchang, let's talk about Li Ke and Li Yin brothers.The two are located in a similar position, sitting next to Concubine Yang, and both of them can see their emperor's father teasing Wei Chi.Li Ke said in a low voice: "Did you see that? The royal father loves Wei Jia so much, and the holy family is Zhenglong, you bastard, you almost got into a catastrophe."

Li Min is straightforward, but he knows that his elder brother is always kind to him. He scratched his head and said, "Brother, I know I was wrong. At most, I won't provoke him in the future, okay? Brother, sit next to Wei Chi." Little daughter-in-law, is Wei Chi's wife?"

Li Ke knew his younger brother very well. Hearing this, his face became angry, and he stretched out his leg and kicked Li Yin hard. What idea, do you want to kill yourself? Wei Jia’s wife Xie Jiu is the queen’s savior. Do you know why Li You didn’t come back this year? It was because of molesting Xie Jiu that he was punished by the queen and kicked out of the capital by His Majesty Yes. You bastard don’t want to live anymore, Wei Niang would rather beat you to death by herself than drag Wei Niang and your brother into trouble.”

As she said that, Concubine Yang's eyes turned red, which frightened Li Ke and Li Yin. Li Ke hurriedly comforted his mother, and gave Li Yin a hard look. Wrong, that bastard Li You wanted to harm me, he told me that Shaoqing of Sinong Temple in Jingli had a beautiful little daughter-in-law, a petty official with little power, he said that he had already tasted it and wanted to share it with me. You shouldn't be confused, I will never believe what Li You says in the future."

Li Ke sighed: "Brother, how can you believe Li You's words? He dragged you into the fire pit and harmed you. Brother Wei told you earlier that you have a straight heart, so be careful of other people's schemes, and let you guard it in the fief." , how did you get mixed up with Li You?"

Li Yin said: "Little brother listened to what my elder brother said. It was Li You who suddenly started writing to me a few months ago, talking about eating, drinking and having fun. I thought it was all right, so I didn't take it to heart."

"In the future, no matter how big or small it is, except for me, as long as brothers or ministers write to you, you must tell my mother and me to avoid being plotted against."

"Got it, brother."

Wei Jia didn't know what to say here, he was telling a story to the little princess Sizi of Jinyang.Anyway, poetry and songs are not what he is good at, so it is better to amuse children.

"...Xiao Ma's mother asked Xiao Ma to test the depth of the river. Xiao Ma carefully tested and crossed the river step by step. Oh, he understood that the river is neither as shallow as Uncle Niu said, nor It's not as deep as what the little squirrel said. You can only know if you have tried it yourself. The pony looked at its mother affectionately, and said in his heart, thank you, good mother. Then he turned his head and ran to the village. This Is the story fun?"

The little Sizi nodded again and again, and said: "It sounds good! Sizi still wants to listen."

Wei Chi frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, let me tell you another story. The name of the story is Little Tadpole Finds His Mother. Does the little princess know what a little tadpole is?"

Xiao Si shook his head, there were three black lines on Wei Jia's forehead, this child is too protective, right?He doesn't even know what the little tadpole looks like, so how can he tell his story!
"Uh... then I won't tell this story. I'll take you to meet the little tadpoles in the spring and then tell this story."

"Okay, tick it!"

"Tick the tick!"

Gao Xing said with a smile: "Master Wei will definitely be a good father in the future. Not only children will like the stories he tells, but even adults like me will like to listen to them."

Wei Chi chuckled and said modestly: "I was too naughty before. In order to make me sit down, my teacher and parents told me a lot of stories. No, just copy them."

While joking, the spring banquet was over, and Wei Jia took Xie Jiu back to the house.I don't know how much turmoil and joy there are in this spring banquet because of his participation.
