Chapter 268: Life in the Mountains
"People aren't afraid that something will happen to you!" Mrs. Zhuge shut up, she didn't know that Emperor Tang Yuan's siege of Baiyun Mountain was a rumor, was it true, but the emperor was here, how could they escape? Leaving the emperor's family behind is not the way of a courtier. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
She will accompany Da Dow, life and death.
Zhuge Qianying, Mu Mian, Sheng Jinyan and Lu Yun are the people who understand in their hearts, but the four of them are tight-lipped and Sheng Jinyan's relatives are far away, but the close relatives still stay.
Some people will settle accounts, if it is so dangerous, why doesn't the emperor run, there are shrewd people and smart people, there are ready-made food and drink here, and there is no danger for a while. ć
It's not easy to go to any relative, who wants to be in trouble? Raise you for nothing, who is so kind, there is nowhere to run to, and the courage to live.
The turmoil in the mountains calmed down, and it was the New Year, this year was particularly lively, and the villagers who went home brought the grain from the strong walls and ran up the mountain again, and they felt that the mountains were good.
They felt that they were not safe at home, if it wasn't for Emperor Wangxing to save them, they would have died, and the children were still safer by Emperor Wangxing's side, the formation in the mountains was too strong, and Emperor Tang Yuan's army would not be able to enter.
They came even more lively, and it was boiling, and every house built a simple wooden house, and the outside was covered with mud, in order to prevent fire.
The flat valleys and slopes are all small wooden houses, and every family is hung with red lanterns, pasted pairs, and the words of happiness, blessing, and door gods are checked, and the sense of security in my heart is stronger.
Mu Mian is like a commoner, although he was a family of eunuchs in his previous life, he always dealt with civilians.
The memory of this life is only that he has lived in the mountains for seventeen years, there is no nobleman's style, even if he is an emperor, he is also reckless, he will not put on a score, he will not play prestige, he will not oppress the people, and he does not want to be high, at this time he is the most ordinary.
The mountain people are close to Mu Miante, many old men are close to him, and Mu Mian has nothing to do, playing chess with the old man. Youth wrestling, target shooting, hunting.
The people in the mountains don't have any martial arts, they can shoot and hunt, and some people even wear a hundred steps.
Such young people Mu Mian were all included in the guards, there were as many as 3,000, and the mountain people in the distance were also light and strong, and there were also those who came to join Mu Mian's army, which were brought by these light people.
Mu Mian's guards had reached 25,000 people, and Mu Mian couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the team that was training in the valley.
Once he became emperor, he left these family members behind, and this is his guard=, his henchmen.
The team in the distance arranges the troops, the formation of the army is skillful, and they are all elites when they are put together.
The modern grappling skills are excellent, and Mu Mian has passed them all on.
Ten juniors are teaching them formations, and the generals like tigers and leopards listen to orders like sheep, and such an army is highly disciplined.
More loyal than the dead......
Mu Mian's heart was relieved, his generals, one top ten, these people are 250,000 troops, the army led by Xiao Tao is weak against Emperor Tang Yuan's army, he helped her, and a thousand flying cannons are enough to deal with Emperor Tang Yuan.
Mu Mian guessed that the flying cannons left by Emperor Tang Yuan might not be stored in one place, and he didn't pay attention to them at the time, so it couldn't be so few, right?
If Emperor Tang Yuan still hid elsewhere and gave him two hundred, his would still be less than Xiao Tao's.
Emperor Tang Yuan's 100,000 troops defended the city, and Xiao Tao had more than 200,000, although her army was not sophisticated, but there were many people. If you help Xiao Tao again, so that Emperor Tang Yuan can't move the reinforcements, Xiao Tao will have the upper hand. Dow Jr. has a lot of flying cannons, and it also has the upper hand.
It would be good if Xiao Tao could have 20,000 left in the end, Emperor Tang Yuan would be wiped out, let's see how a few princes fight?
"Amiens!" Sheng Jinyan shouted delicately, pulling back Mu Mian's distant thoughts: "Ayan! ā
"Amiens! Don't you feel cold? Sheng Jinyan was a little distressed, although Mu Mian didn't want to be the emperor, but the emperor wanted to kill his son, which also made him feel bad, Mu Mian's dullness was broken, and his eyes flew when he saw his lover.
"How can it be cold? The people in the mountains are the most afraid of the cold. Mu Mian said with a radiant look, his eyes were full of love mixed with a hint of melancholy: "Your physique is cold, and it's a cold day, don't worry about walking around." After saying that, he approached and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, his broad chest blocking the cold wind on her back: "Go back to the house!" ā
"Amiens! You forgot? My chills have healed. Sheng Jinyan's warm heart was full of gratitude, and her face was full of smiles like flowers.
"It's okay, it's not good, if you're not sick, you'll freeze out." Mu Mian hugged his wife in his arms, and walked for a while, he felt slow, picked her up, and put her in his arms, although Sheng Jinyan was tall, she was more than half a head lower than Mu Mian, not as wide and thick as Mu Mian, shrouded by him, and the cold wind couldn't sting her at all.
A few maids saw Mu Mian hugging Sheng Jinyan, it had become a habit, and they didn't feel anything awkward, and several guards also learned from Mu Mian and secretly hugged them in the house, and they didn't blush now.
Hurriedly making tea and pouring water, setting up snacks, Lu Yun said: "The emperor and Niangniang will make a cushion first, and lunch will be ready immediately." "When Mu Mian abdicated, he objected to anyone who called him the emperor, and Sheng Jinyan didn't call her Niangniang.
There are more than 30,000 mountain people, even if they don't change that title, now Mu Mian can't stop it, anyway, he wants to be the emperor, so he will call it with them.
Of course, the girls are reluctant to change their words, they have been calling for several years, it is not easy to change, and they are not willing to change, the emperor and queen in their minds have been positioned, and they will not recognize others.
Only their emperor and queen are competent, no one else has that qualification, their emperor loves the people like a son, and their queen cares about the people.
It's not just them, it's more than 30,000 mountain people who say it.
They all thanked the emperor for saving his life.
Today is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the new year! The heavens say good things, the lower world keeps peace, the old stove king is sent to heaven, the new stove king is invited, and the sacrificial stove is also a very sincere and solemn ceremony.
The door god was invited to guard the gate, and the courage of the people was extraordinarily strong. Sacrificial stoves, sweeping houses, steaming rice cakes.
On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, every family stewed meat, yellow mutton, wild venison, pheasant, hare, mountain people will hunt, people in this era, do not like to eat pork, the ancient pork is not right.
People in the mountains raise sheep, dumplings are stuffed with mutton, it is forbidden to kill cattle in ancient times, and Mu Mian also brought cattle and sheep when he entered the mountain.
The guards had horses, and they did not plow the land with oxen, and the cattle and sheep ate meat.
Thinking of modern braised pork, Mu Mian felt very greedy, the boar's meat was angry, the sow's meat was okay, Mu Mian personally started to make the right ingredients, he knew how to make Dongpo meat.
A big iron pot stewed in a large pot of braised pork. It didn't follow the original method of Dongpo meat, after all, it was in the mountains. How can you bring so many ingredients?
Ten sows of 200 catties, raised for a year, but have never given birth to cubs, remove ribs and big bones, pig's trotters, elbows, and pig's heads.
Clean all the five organs, boil the large intestine, boil the waist flower, boil the tip of the liver, and fry the lungs.
The ribs are all made of braised pork, and the tenderloin and back are wrapped in dumplings, Sheng Jinyan said happily: "The dumplings with pork stuffing are delicious." ā
Mu Mian commanded a few maids to chop the meat filling, the pork here is not filled with water, the meat filling is sticky to the knife, and the chopping has to be mixed with water into the pork, or it will not be chopped.
After chopping, he taught them how to add water to the meat filling, and Mu Mian told them to take chopsticks: "Go in the direction, turn in a circle, don't turn around." ā
A few people quickly learned, not knowing what the water was for? Lu Yun was curious, and hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty!" Why fetch water? Green Cloud has 100,000 whys, and is a curious baby.
"It's done, and you'll understand when you eat the dumplings." Lu Yun didn't ask anymore, she worked quietly, she didn't dare to talk to the emperor much, she was in awe of the emperor.
Qian Mo's belly was very big and she was about to give birth, Sheng Jinyan persuaded her to rest: "So many people don't want you to work, your legs are swollen, and you are sinned!" ā
Qianmo didn't care: "Mother! It's not a disease, Mrs. said it's good to give birth. ā
Sheng Jinyan smiled: "It's not a crime!" You go play with Zhen'er and Chen'er! Qian Mo left obediently, she was afraid that her mother would be in a hurry, so she sat next to Mrs. Zhuge and Da Tao, watching Chen'er and Zhen'er laugh, and the two little guys laughed vigorously.
Zhen'er was crawling all over the bed, and Chen'er was catching up with the horse: "Drive!" ā¦ā¦ Drive! ā¦ā¦ Drive! ......" Zhen'er laughed, and Chen'er shouted more happily.
Qian Mo also laughed with them.
Today is the New Year, the little moon, the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month. The dumplings for the evening were all wrapped.
Today is the conference dinner, 50 people from Sheng Jinyan's research institute, plus Sheng Jinyan's aunt's family of 10, aunt's family of 30, Sheng Jinyan's parents and family, all of these families threw their concubines at home and did not let them follow.
Sheng Jinyan's aunt is not easy to handle, her uncle-in-law has two concubines, and she was sent to the countryside, and the Wei family also did it, Tao Qianxun was guarding in Western Xia, far away, and the Wei family would not take the concubines as treasures, this is to take refuge with the emperor, and it is disrespectful to the emperor to bring those things, the emperor has no concubines, how can the concubines who can't get on the stage take the emperor tired?
As long as Sheng Jinyan's relatives thought that the emperor would not accept concubines, they felt that those concubines were very eyesore, and sent them back to their parents' house!
When it was time to have lunch, the dumplings were enough for 200 people to eat, and Lu Yun announced: "The dumplings are enough to eat for the New Year, lunch will start immediately, everyone will wash their hands and face and take the seat!" ā¦ā¦ć ā
A large group of maids are cooks, and they are also running the hall, dozens of people serve food, and soon the table is complete.
There is no royal wine or tribute wine here, only mountain wine made under the command of Mu Mian.
After the wine and food were arranged, everyone was seated regardless of whether they were high or low, regardless of master and servant, and each person had a big bowl of wine. ć
Accompanying Mu Mian were Zhuge Zhan, Zhuge Qianjun, Sheng Jinyan's uncle, three cousins, Sheng Wei'an, and Sheng Yaoqing.
Sheng Jinyan and her mother, aunt, aunt, cousin, sister-in-law, Zhuge Qianying, Mrs. Zhuge and Zhuge Qianhui, sat at a big table.
The four of them sat at a table with Da Tao's Yahuan Shenyu and Luoyan.
The table is full of big fish and meat, and each table is the same meal, braised pork, braised elbow, sliced meat, peppercorn meat, braised pork ribs, Wuchang fish, and stewed pheasant with mushrooms.
Roasted yellow sheep, venison skewers, roasted bear paws.
Lean pork stir-fried bracken, daylily stewed shredded pork, in short, are all meat, in this era, this season is not fresh vegetables, only mountain and wild vegetables, or dry.
Mu Mian taught Yahuan raw bean sprouts, the raw ones are not good, half as long as those sold in the modern market, the table is full of big meat, soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts are particularly popular.
In fact, they are all lean meat, the pigs raised by Mu Mianrang only eat wild vegetables, and they are not willing to feed food at all, the pork is also very thin, and the yellow sheep and wild deer on the mountain only eat grass, which are all lean meat.
These meats are not greasy, and the bean sprouts are refreshing, chewing a mouthful of raw jin.
Drinking sweet and sour wine, drinking wine in large bowls, and eating meat in large pieces, Mu Mian felt that he had the feeling of a cottage, and it was similar to this situation if he was the king of the mountain, right?
Mu Mian felt novel, and drank and laughed with Sheng Wei'an and Zhuge Zhan: "Let's occupy the mountain as the king!" There are so many resources in the mountains! ā
The wine produced by Mu Mian's command is very sufficient, Zhuge Zhan likes wine, but the amount of wine is not large, Sheng Wei'an is not fond of alcohol, it is a soldier's long-term guard at the border pass, and the vigilance developed by fighting with the enemy country, in the border pass, he is easy not to drink, but his amount of wine is not small, Zhuge Zhan drank drunk, Sheng Wei'an is not at all.
Zhuge Zhan's tongue was a little short, and he immediately took Mu Mian's words: "King, it's good to occupy the mountain as the king, see if there is anything on the mountain?" It's easier to worry than being an emperor, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the world, you have enough to eat and sleep, you have enough to eat, how much self-conscious? Is there such a free ride? "He said endlessly, how can he usually have these words, it's really drunk ~ sex. Not self-sustaining.
Sheng Wei'an is suddenly, Mu Mian's talent and wisdom will be here for a lifetime, Qu Cai!
Sheng Wei'an couldn't help but feel sad: How could there be such a Tang Yuan Emperor? is capricious, only one Wu Meiniang killed her son, and now there is another Tang Yuan Emperor.
Sheng Wei'an shook his head, Zhuge Zhan thought that Sheng Wei'an would veto his words, and was unhappy: "You don't agree with the emperor's intentions, you don't want to stay here, you can go and serve Emperor Tang Yuan!" Sheng Wei'an knew that he was drunk and ignored him.
Zhuge Zhan grabbed Sheng Wei'an's sleeve: "If you don't listen to the king, you are a traitor!" Sheng Wei'an shook his head again: "If you are drunk, will you vomit?" ā
Zhuge Qianjun saw his father like that, so he pulled him to leave, Zhuge Zhan shouted: "I'm not drunk!" I'm not drunk! ā
Then he shouted again: "Your Majesty! You're too weak to give way! We are homeless, we can't even sweep the ancestral graves! We are unfilial descendants! ā
Mu Mian sighed lightly: "Drunk people talk in dreams." "Honestly, if no one wanted to kill him, he really didn't want to sit in that chair, but the ancients were different, and there was a chasm between them and their own ideas.
How could they be willing? ā¦ā¦
Mu Mian frowned slightly, if he didn't do this, what should he do? Compete with Emperor Tang Yuan? The father who should be named, he said that he would give it to him a long time ago. (To be continued.) )
