Chapter 160: Zhuge Brand Liver Protector Treasure, the Liver Emperor said it was good after eating it
Five or six days later, Shangyuan Festival is also the day of Li Su's wedding.
Except for Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and their generals who were not in Shu, other officials from Liu Bei's camp up and down, as long as they were around Shu County, were invited to come to the Hou Mansion in Pi County on time to attend the ceremony.
Liu Bei also sat in a shrunken version of the Jingen car with a shortened wheel, and came to Li Su's place early before noon, even with the meal during the day.
The golden root car he sat in was left by Liu Yan, and Liu Yan originally built the "Six Wheel Golden Root Car" to drive the six horses, which was completely the pomp of the Son of Heaven Luanyu, and Liu Yan was received by Liu Bei after his death.
It is also a waste of these finely carved things to burn, so Liu Bei, who is frugal by nature and has lived a hard life, decided to rest with the people, cut off the gold-covered chariot, and reduce two horses, which is not considered to be used by the emperor.
The car left Chengdu early in the morning and walked forty miles to Li Su's fiefdom. The convoy also bumped into Zhang Fei who came from behind on the way.
Zhang Fei went out much later, but he didn't bother to take a car and came on horseback with a few retinues, so he caught up with Liu Bei.
"Third brother, how can you be so anxious. Didn't you say that it was good for the evening, since you went out late, you should walk slower. Liu Bei was very easy-going and caring.
Zhang Fei Lema talked about it: "Big brother, Boya has good things every time he holds a banquet, this time it is rare for him to get married, and he has just returned from Nanzhong, maybe he has found a lot of treasures, how can he not rub him twice." β
Liu Bei said with a smile: "You let the servants come on horseback, wouldn't the congratulatory gift be bumpy." β
Zhang Fei patted his chest proudly: "It's okay, I didn't prepare any jade jewelry, so I drew a picture of the guest of the vice Hongyan by myself, all of which are things that can't be broken, and I can handle it if you want to be vulgar or elegant." β
The two brothers chatted and soon arrived at the door of the Hou Mansion.
Liu Bei heard Zhang Fei sucking and hissing slightly through the car curtain, and was curious, thinking that Zhang Fei had seen something weird.
He hurriedly lifted the curtain and went down, looking up? Only then did you notice the decoration of the faΓ§ade of Li Suhou's mansion? It's different from the Chinese New Year half a month ago.
Not only is it more gorgeously decorated, but there are also two white marble bears and beast statues at the door.
White marble is not jade? Just a more expensive stone? The chemical cost is only calcium carbonate, but it is much more delicate than ordinary limestone? It's about the same as calcite. Therefore, the cost of making sculptures and relief walls is also within the acceptable range of top nobles.
Can make Liu Bei surprised? Is this white marble statue still engraved with obsidian glass on the outside? The degree of luxury has increased a lot all of a sudden, and at the end of the Han Dynasty, in the jurisdiction of Han culture, obsidian glass was still much more expensive than white marble, after all, the scope of trade with the Xiangxiong Kingdom in the snow area was very small.
"Boya...... So extravagant? Aren't you afraid that passers-by will pick out this obsidian glass? Obviously chiseled? The chisel is not necessarily tightly embedded. Liu Bei is also a person who is used to "beautiful clothes", but he can understand Li Su's extravagance, but he always feels insecure.
"He won't go to Nanzhong to get a vote!" Zhang Fei thought about it, snatched a gift box from the entourage's hand, and took it from the ten horseshoe gold gifts that he originally planned to give? Four were drawn, and only six were ready to be given.
Hum? Brother Boya is so rich, why don't you give these vulgar gifts a little less? He's not bad for money anyway! The painting gave the heart, and it arrived.
Liu Bei was still looking at the statue, and Li Su had already greeted him in person: "Thanks to the two brothers, they arrived early." β
The clothes worn by the people of the Han Dynasty for marriage were mainly black robes? Li Su can't be a maverick? So a black robe today? It's just that the neckline of the cuffs is red - the Western Han Dynasty followed the Qin system, which was directly all black, and the Eastern Han Dynasty was "Yan Han", so the red edge was added, which seemed to have both inheritance and innovation.
However, even if it is the same red and black, the texture of the fabric can be very different, Li Su and Cai Yan must be wearing the best Shu brocade, and different levels of patterns can be refracted under different lights.
With a few polite words, Li Su led Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, the two most distinguished guests, in, anyway, the other guests today don't need him to go out of the house to greet them in person, at most they will go to the second and third inner doors to pick them up.
Those who greeted them at the second gate had to be at the level of Lu Su, and they were almost unworthy.
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei asked their entourage to hand over the gifts to the servants of the Hou Mansion, and Li Su also immediately said that there were some local specialties from Nanzhong, and everyone would bring a little back in a while.
Liu Bei also politely refused: "Today is the wedding of the virtuous brother, how can there be any reason to return the gift." β
Li Su: "It's not a return gift, it's that I returned from Nanzhong and brought some souvenirs. It's not worth anything, so why bother. β
Liu Bei didn't say anything yet, Zhang Fei directly agreed, but his wife Zhen Dao was very envious of Cai Yan's aesthetics, and Cai Yan had to imitate anything new here.
To be precise, it is the three married little girls of the Zhen family, since they have been friends with Cai Yan for several months in the past few years, they all take Cai Yan's aesthetics as the fashion, and feel that they are the taste of the scholarly and elegant lady.
The group talked and laughed, and the Hou Mansion had already set up a flowing water banquet, which could sit and eat and get up to visit the garden, which was very free and comfortable.
And what is amazing is that other people's meandering water is sitting next to the natural river and flowing wine glasses, but Li Su is here to create a flowing water in a private courtyard, in fact, he hid a waterwheel behind the yard, which can be twisted to pump the water to a low place again, like the fountain water method can be circulated by itself, and the machine that eats Japanese flowing water noodles in later generations is almost the same pattern, but in the eyes of the Han Dynasty people feel exquisite and luxurious.
Although Liu Bei's arrival made everyone stand up and salute, Liu Bei was good at winning people's hearts, and soon mingled with his subordinates and dissolved everyone's restraints.
Zhang Fei smiled and asked: "Boya, I have eaten all these dishes today, are there any novelties?" You just went to Nanzhong, you won't find anything good, and you won't take it out on your wedding day. β
Li Su scolded and asked: "I went to Nanzhong to appease Manyue to do business, do you think novelties are so easy to find." Now, these two beasts can be used as ornaments, and there is no food left, why not come to a bowl of coix soup? If you don't feel sweet enough, you can add mourning wolf sauce. β
Zhang Fei looked dissatisfied: "I've eaten coix several times since it entered Shu, and I also ate wolfberry sauce when I was in Nanzheng, although it's quite rare." β
Li Su spread his hands: "This time, the wolf sauce was just sold to Zhu Ti by the Ailaoyi merchant of Yongchang County, and it is fresh, why don't you try it?" By the way, I also went to Nanzhong, and I found out what kind of fruit is made of wolfberry sauce, do you want to see the fruit? β
Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and others were a little interested: "Oh? There is fresh fruit, take it and take a look. β
With a wave of his hand, Li Su brought some of the fruits he had obtained through the expedition and barbarian merchants on his way south, and even brought a small sapling planted in a huge clay pot.
Li Su: "The name of this tree is Citrus aurantium, also written as Citrus aurantium, and the medicinal effect of Citrus aurantium on the boundary of Ailaoyi is slightly different from that of the north, and the local common name is Jujube. The wolf-paste we used to eat when we were in Nanzheng may not be made from mourning jujubes, and I have heard that this batch of corrections is good for people who drink too much and hurt their liver. Yide, you drink so much, don't you take a few bottles with you? β
It turned out that Li Su also went to Nanzhong this time, and he completely figured out what kind of fruit the "Yelang Wolf Sauce" he brought to Luoyang to give gifts at the beginning, because during the expedition, the Nanzhong barbarians finally pointed out the tree to him.
When he saw this name and tree species, Li Su reacted immediately in his mind - this is not the "Citrus Citrus Liver Treasure" that the local tour guide desperately promoted when he went to South Korea in his last life!
Anyone who has traveled to South Korea knows that Liver Protector is second only to Korean ginseng in terms of sales strength, and it has been blown out, but it is actually a kind of sauce, but it is not the same as the jam method in the Han Dynasty.
In his previous life, when he was traveling, Li Su was very disgusted: You just let Lao Tzu buy Korean ginseng, after all, there is no one in China. In addition to Korean ginseng, what other agricultural and sideline specialties are said by Koreans, "China does not produce it, only Korea has it"? So he insisted on not buying it, and after returning to China, he took a look at Baidu and found that the best jujube production area was not the turn of Nanbang at all, and it was still the best in Yunnan and Myanmar. So later, even if he drank and socialized and invited him to buy liver protectors, he didn't buy Korean ones.
This time I went to Nanzhong, and finally came to light, it turned out that this thing was still a tribute specialty of Yongchang County in the late Han Dynasty.
It's a pity that Zhang Fei is obviously very confident in his alcohol consumption and liver function, and he only took a few cans for the sake of the delicious wolf sauce, and he didn't seem to appreciate it.
Liu Bei paid more attention to health preservation and took a little more.
The other guests were in the way of saving face, seeing that the lord and the three generals only took so much, how could they take so much?
This is wolf-sauce, Yelang wolf-sauce is a tribute on the same level as Loulan wine, if you take a few stones to give a gift during the reign of Emperor Sheling, you can get a high-ranking official of a thousand stones.
Li Su saw that Zhang Fei had a bad head, so he took the initiative to start sending it.
He looked around the arena and beckoned to Zhuge Jin, and Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang brothers hurriedly came over to obey the order.
"Ziyu, I remember that Ling Zun was depressed and hurt the liver before his death, although it was a heart disease, but he could hurt his body because of worry, according to the doctor, most of the liver was not good. And you have to help me deal with a lot of chores now, and staying up late will hurt your liver, so you can take a few more cans. β
Zhuge Jin was flattered when he heard this, Fu Jun actually remembered the cause of his father's death and cared about their family's genetic history, which made Zhuge Jin feel the grace of the encounter.
How Zhuge Jue died of illness in the first place, Zhuge Jin of course knows better, after all, he is the eldest son, and he handled the process of seeking medical treatment, of course he knew that when Zhuge Jue died of worry, the doctor said that he hurt his liver.
"I didn't expect that Fu Jun was so proficient in the art of Qi Huang, and he was able to deduce his father's illness through this trivial observation, which can be said to be a kindness to our Zhuge family."
Zhuge Jin sighed, how did he know that the reason why Li Su dared to guess like this was entirely because he knew Zhuge Liang too well.
The history books record the situation of Zhuge Liang before his death very clearly - when Sima Yi was given women's clothes, he asked "how Zhuge Liang eats", and the Han envoy said that "the eclipse is no more than a few liters", and he can't eat, which is typical of the poor spleen and stomach caused by cirrhosis.
Of course, this alone does not prove that Zhuge Liang died of advanced liver cirrhosis, and Zhuge Liang "vomited blood" and "had a sallow complexion" before his death, which are liver diseases.
The most important thing is that Zhuge Liang died of overwork, modern people understand, for an overworked person, he is generally called "Liver Emperor", because staying up late and overwork hurt the liver the most, Zhuge Liang was so diligent Liver Emperor, and finally died of cirrhosis.
Li Su knew that Zhuge had a genetic history and hidden genetic dangers that were prone to liver lesions, so he used the excuse to reward Zhuge Jin with some liver-protecting treasure wolfberry sauce, and let him come to get the goods after eating.
Zhuge Liang was on the side, seeing that his brother had been rewarded by the prince, and he was also a little greedy, he was still a twelve-year-old young man, and he was more hungry for desserts, and there were not many delicious sweets in this era.
"Fujun, can I eat it?" Zhuge Liang couldn't help but ask.
Li Su patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder: "You are still young, you can eat fresh and unfermented food, or if you want to eat fruit, I will bring it to you." You can't drink those that have already fermented the taste of alcohol, and you can't drink until you reach the grade where you can drink. In the future, just ask me to get as much as you want. β
Li Su finished distributing the gifts, and after a while with the guests, it was soon time for the wedding ceremony. In the compliments of the guests, Li Su and Cai Yan completed the procedure indifferently.
After a tiring day, Li Su decided to try the obsidian bath built by his wife for the first time to relieve his fatigue, and by the way, he played some emotional poetry against it.
