Datang Imperial Physician

Chapter 396

Was Wei Chi beaten?

Of course not, just came back from the calamity, don't talk about delicious food and drink, hurry up to make up, and then go to get a beating, it seems impossible, the old man just talked about it, scolded a few words to vent his anger, really Asking him to fight, for a while, he really couldn't do it, and finally he could only hum a few words: "You have just recovered from your injury, and I will teach you a lesson when you recover."

At this time, one must go down the steps, and no matter how ignorant one is, it is not filial piety, but disobedience.Wei Jia nodded hurriedly, with a righteous face on his face: "Your foster father is merciful, and I am really ashamed of the fact that you love me so much. Dad, you should teach the child a lesson, so that the child will have a long memory."

The old man snorted and said, "Okay, don't pretend, who can you hide from your little thoughts? Hurry up, get up and cook, and try that pumpkin you mentioned."

"Okay, foster father and elder brother sit down for a while, and I'll be fine in a while." Wei Chi smiled, jumped up, and scurried to the kitchen.

Pumpkin is not a difficult plant to grow. Wei Zhi remembers that when he was a child in the countryside, almost every household planted it in front of and behind the house. It is a very common and easy to survive plant, and the harvest period is long. Both flowers and vines can be eaten, and the taste is very delicious.

Pumpkin flowers can be fried and eaten, or they can be fried and eaten together with rice noodles; melons can be fried and eaten, or stewed in soup. Stir-fried with garlic cloves, it is green and delicious, and the taste is very good.

After going out for a few months, the pumpkins planted before going out have now produced several tender pumpkins of small size. At this time, the pumpkins are picked and cut into shreds to be fried and eaten, or stewed with ribs , are the most delicious side dishes.

Picking pumpkin flowers for cooking is also very particular. You should observe carefully and choose those flowers that will not bear fruit. It is most suitable when they are just blooming or when they are still flower buds.As for the pumpkin vines, it is necessary to pick the tender ones when they have already begun to bear fruit, and when the harvest will not be affected. Rub and wash off the white fluff on the pumpkin vines, put some garlic cloves, and put them in the oil pan Stir-fried, the method is simple, the taste is good, and it is a seasonal dish that is often found in the farm.

Before going out, Wei Jia specifically explained the places that need to be paid attention to, so the pumpkins grew very well, so they were planted in the garden of Weifu, and they crawled all over the ground.Wei Jia deliberately chose two bigger ones, and went back to the kitchen to cook. He hadn't played with these things for a long time, but now he started to play with them again, but he felt very happy. This is life.

Prepare the seasoning, put cold water in the pot, put the cut pumpkin and spare ribs in, put in the ginger and garlic cloves, put in the salt, cover the pot and simmer slowly.There is a saying in the countryside called swelled cabbage and cold water melon, which means that the cabbage must be boiled before putting the vegetables in, and the pumpkin must be boiled in cold water. It cannot be boiled before boiling. Melon, not only can't be boiled, but it even feels hard when biting, without the whirring feeling of pumpkin noodles.

Wei Chi's speed is very fast, that is, in half an hour, he cheerfully brought out a table of dishes, asked someone to bring them to the dining room, washed his hands, cleaned up, and followed him to the dining room.Southerners eat light dishes, while northerners eat greasy food, and every meal is full of meat and joy.

This kind of eating habits is harmful to health. If you don't feel it when you are young, your body will not be able to bear it when you are old.In the past, Mr. Qin also had this habit, but he was twisted by Wei Zhi. Now that he is used to eating, he feels lighter and more comfortable.

The whole family ate happily around the dining table. Xie Jiu and Wei Jia sat next to a baby. The Qilin siblings sat in special chairs with high backs at the dining table and a small table in front for their little ones. bowls, you don’t have to worry about them falling down, and you won’t make a mess on the dining table. When you see a dish you want to eat, the two siblings will point with their oily little fingers and ask their parents to pick up the dishes.

After dinner, Xie Jiu asked someone to clean up, and then went to clean up the Qilin siblings who had eaten a good meal but were full of greasy food. Wei Jia and his son went for a walk after cooking, and walked around their own garden .Xie Jiu asked someone to put tea in the gazebo, and left it for the father and son to go there to drink tea and chat to reminisce after their walk.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of taking a walk, Wei Zhi told his adoptive father and elder brother about going out this time, and let's take a look at the details together by the way.After listening to what Wei Chi said, the old man said: "I'll talk about the matter of going to Dali Temple to check the files later."

Wei Chi said: "Father, don't worry, I understand that now is the cusp of the storm, and it's too late to keep a low profile. It's not appropriate to go to Dali Temple to check the files at this time."

Qin Wei said: "Qi Wangyou was arrested, Han Wang was also arrested, and Hou Junji was defeated. These people don't have to worry about them causing troubles in the future. The outcome is almost certain and nothing to worry about. Li Yin, the king of Shu, is a fool, but Fortunately, there is a shrewd mother and elder brother who can restrain themselves, after this time, they will restrain themselves, and the fourth younger brother will have a much easier life in the future."

Wei Jia nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, from now on we may be able to hold our heads high and live our lives straight. Now thinking about it, I feel happy."

The old man rolled his eyes at him, and said earnestly: "In this court, where can there be a truly stable life, I always teach you brothers to be cautious in your words and deeds, and self-cultivation, which is better than anything else."

"Yes, the child only obeys the teachings of his father." The two brothers responded respectfully, and Wei Jia listened very carefully. He is a modern person. There are differences in values ​​and outlook on life between modern society and ancient society, not to mention the difference of more than a thousand Years, even if there is a difference of ten years, people of two eras also have something called a generation gap.Surviving in the society of Datang, the old man had more experience than him, so it always sounded right.

The father and son walked around the garden twice and walked to the gazebo. Seeing that the tea had been set, they sat down and continued talking.Speaking of the suggestion given by His Majesty Li Er, and speaking of the Han King Li Yuanchang, the father and son all expressed regret.Before he retired, the old man was a general in the court. In order to avoid suspicion, it was common sense not to deal with the vassal king, and he didn't have much contact with Li Yuanchang.Frightened by His Majesty Li Er's majesty, Li Yuanchang didn't dare to make friends with ministers, but just wandered among a few princes.

"People's hearts are separated from each other, but it's just like this. Looking at such a refined and refined person, but with such sinister thoughts, it's really chilling."

The old man sighed, the people he was used to in the army were straightforward, and he hated this kind of people the most.Wei Jia just smiled, the same rice supports all kinds of people, everyone in this world is different, there is no need to be surprised that there are such and such people.

Talking about chatting, we talked all afternoon, and when the gate of the city was about to be closed, the father and son of the Qin family left and returned to the city, and asked Wei Jia to "pretend to be sick". This order made Wei Jia hear black lines all over his head , I really didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while, they all bullied him, they were all bad guys.

*********
Wei Zhi, Wei Ziyue, Wei Da Miracle Physician happened to be on a cold tour with His Majesty in Beijing, and was sick at home. After the news spread in Beijing, everyone he knew sent them more or less comfort, and Xie Jiu received them all. Wei Chi is a patient and it is inconvenient to see guests, so he can only hide in the bedroom and play with the children.

Two days later, in order to better recuperate the sick body, the Wei family decided to move to Zhuangzi, which is far away from Chang'an, for two days. The Qin family also followed in order to take care of Wei Chi nearby.

After leaving the capital, the "patient" Wei Jia came back in good spirits. Going up the mountain to hunt is impossible. He has no martial arts. Chi wisely chose to use fishing, and forget about going to the river.

Wearing a broken bamboo hat, carrying a fish basket, and bringing homemade bait, I led the tiger to sit by the river, no matter whether I could catch fish or not, it was very comfortable to bask in the sun leisurely like this things.

Erhu's mother-in-law, Yunniang, gave birth to a fat boy for Erhu, and that guy was so happy that he smiled foolishly all day long, saying that he would train his boy well in the future, and continue to protect the young lady and young master of the Weifu.There is a new kid in the family, Dahu is also very happy as an uncle, and he is busy, and wants to hug the baby, but he is afraid that he will be clumsy, and his hands will hurt the baby, clumsy , he is more cautious than himself as a father, and occasionally seeing Erhu and Yunniang in harmony, there will be a hint of envy in his eyes.

"Dahu, do you want to get married?" Covering his face with a bamboo hat, Wei Zhi asked someone to spread a straw mat on the grass by the river, and lay down on the grass by the river with his legs crossed and a stick in his mouth. Grass, asked.Du Hu nodded, and said honestly: "Think about it, who doesn't want to get married, but there is no one, master."

"People in the Weifu are looking for a partner. It's not just a matter of one sentence. I asked you a few years ago, and you said you still want to play. Now that Erhu is ahead of you to become a father, you know that you are anxious. Don't worry. Well, Madam has asked someone to find a matchmaker, and I will definitely find you a good wife."

"Then thank you, Master and Madam."

Du Hu smiled innocently. Compared with his younger brother, he was even more inarticulate and straightforward.These two brothers... Wei Zhi couldn't help but think of the way they looked when they first met, and couldn't help but sigh, it seems that time has slipped by for so many years without knowing it, and his meowing time is like running water, never gone Turn back.

"Is that Master Wei Ziyue in front?"

Chatted with Duhu one sentence at a time, asking what requirements Duhu had for finding a partner. The conversation was lively, when a coquettish question came from afar.

Wei Jia took off the bamboo hat, got up and looked, but there was a group of people parked on the official road not far away, a big carriage, and a woman stood on the carriage, who looked like Princess Yuzhang.Wei Chi hurriedly stood up and saluted: "I've seen the princess, I'm the one here. I didn't expect the princess to come here."

Princess Yuzhang returned a salute with a smile, walked over, and said with a half-smile on her face, "I heard that Lord Wei was caught in a cold on the way back to Beijing, so he came here to take care of himself. However, looking at Lord Wei's posture now , seems to have recovered?"

There was some teasing in his eyes, but Wei Jia said without changing his expression: "Princess Lao asked, it is indeed almost healed, our man is in good health, and the wind and cold are just minor illnesses. After two days of treatment, he will be almost healed. The princess's posture , it seems that you just came back from a visit, do you want to go back?"

Princess Yuzhang smiled and said, "I'm going back. The weather in Beijing is uncomfortable, and many sisters have come here. It's also good for everyone to walk around while you are free. How did Master Wei gain today? Have you ever caught a fish?" Big fish?"

Wei Zhi knows his own affairs, and when it comes to fishing skills, he doesn't have the slightest bit, and he just comes out to pass the time when he is idle and bored.When Princess Yuzhang asked this question, the guy said seriously: "The joy of fishing lies in catching rather than fish. It doesn't make any difference to Yu Wei whether he catches a big fish or not, it's just for entertainment."

Princess Yuzhang smiled again, and said: "It's getting late, Mrs. Wei, don't indulge in entertainment, let Mrs. Wei worry about it, go back. My palace is also going back, by the way, since Mrs. Wei is here, Mrs. Wei Definitely coming, I will come to visit tomorrow, and get together with Mrs. Wei, I want to ask Mrs. Wei some questions."

"Okay, goodbye princess, I will tell my wife to prepare for the princess' visit when I go back."

Princess Yuzhang smiled again, and after a salute to Wei Chi, she returned to the carriage and left with her subordinates.Wei Jia looked up at the sky, and it was indeed time to go back, so he called Duhu: "Dahu, let's go, go back, by the way, did you catch the fish soup this afternoon?"

Dahu wondered: "Master, fish soup is probably a bit difficult, why don't we eat stir-fried shrimp?"

Wei Jia never cared about the harvest of fishing all afternoon, and had been dozing off on the grass. Hearing Dug's words, he was taken aback for a moment. He poked his head to look at the fish basket, and there really were fish besides a basket of live shrimps. Two more, but only half the size of a palm, boiled fish soup, probably not enough for one person.

The technical problem is a big one, and it can't be solved in a short while. Wei Jia can think about it, and waved his hand in high spirits, and told Du Hu to pick up the fish basket and go home. The fish soup will continue to work hard another day.
