Seventy-one, married couples
Ever since he heard about Gongsun Jingsheng and Wei Ling and the two princesses at Zhu Lilun's place, Lu Fu had a strong heart to leave Chang'an and return to his hometown in Handan. He has been looking for an opportunity to tell Gongsun Yu and Su Su, of course, it is best to meet Jia Chang'er and ask him to convey it to his nephew, Queen Weng Su.
Coincidentally, Jia Chang'er happened to come to the medical hall to find Lu Fu on this day, and as soon as he entered the door of the medical hall, he congratulated Lu Fu: "Congratulations to Brother Lu, the imperial concubine is happy." ”
Hearing this news, Lu Fu naturally laughed from ear to ear, and hurriedly pointed at Yi Susu and wanted to say that it was her credit, Yi Susu squeezed his eyes, and signaled Lu Fu not to tell her about taking the beetle pill to Wang Weng to eat, because of course, the palace including the imperial palace cannot bring medicine into it privately.
Yi Susu asked Jia Chang'er: "Mr. Jia, how many months has the imperial concubine been pregnant?" ”
"It was only diagnosed two days ago, and it was said that it had been two months."
Lu Fu counted and said, "I won't be born until next spring." ”
Gongsun Yu saw Lu Fu's anxious appearance, laughed, and said, "Brother Lu doesn't need to worry, you wait to be your uncle." ”
Seeing that everyone was happy, Jia Chang'er also smiled: "Come here today to say hello to everyone, and also to say goodbye to everyone, I have resigned from the position of the Taigong musician, and I am going to return to Handan with my wife in a few days, and I will have the opportunity to come to Chang'an to see you again in the future." ”
It is estimated that Jia Chang'er also messed up the matter of interceding with Jiang Chong last time, and felt that he couldn't get along with the prince, so he had the idea of leaving. When Lu Fu heard that Jia Chang'er had the same thoughts as himself, he asked, "When is Mr. Jia going to leave for Handan?" ”
"At the beginning of next month, I still have to pack up my things these days, and I have to organize the scores for other musicians."
At this time, I saw Lu Fu looking at Gongsun Yu and Yi Susu with a solemn expression, and said affectionately: "Brother, Susu, there is a sentence I have always wanted to say to you, but I always can't say it, for so many years, we have been together day and night, as if we are a family, but Ye Luo always has to return to the roots, I plan to go back to Handan with Mr. Jia, can Mr. Jia go back with me?" ”
Gongsun Yu and Yi Susu suddenly heard Lu Fu say that they wanted to go back to Handan, the two looked at each other, and they didn't know how to say yes, but Jia Chang'er understood Lu Fu's return, and knew that Lu Fu felt the same way as him, so he said: "Brother Lu, aren't you in Chang'an to accompany Weng Su?" ”
Lu Fu smiled and said: "Weng Xu doesn't need me to accompany her, I see that the emperor's grandson Liu Jin is good to her, and he dotes on her very much, I am happy for her, after you go back today, say goodbye to her for me, and say that my uncle will go to her parents and tell her parents about her situation in Chang'an, so that she can rest assured." ”
"Brother Lu, don't worry, I'll tell her when I go back, I'll arrange another carriage for you."
"Mr. Jia doesn't need to arrange a carriage, I still have an old horse here, who has been with me for many years, and has traveled with me to many places, and I can't bear it."
At this time, Yi Susu's eyes were already moist, and he said with a crying voice: "Brother Lu, why do you suddenly want to leave us and go back to your hometown?" We are reluctant to let you go, who will concoct the medicinal materials after you leave? ”
Lu Fu stepped forward with a smile, touched Su Su's head with his hand, and comforted her: "Silly girl, my three-legged cat kung fu has long been learned by you, and you are better than me in concocting medicinal materials now, besides, I can't stay here forever, I am most worried about the two of you now, and I won't do your business sooner." ”
Gongsun Yu also stepped forward to take Lu Fu's hand, and said in a choked voice: "Brother Lu, it's been seven years, we get along day and night, and we have long been a family, you can stay, anyway, you don't have any relatives in Handan, and we will live together in the future." ”
"My stupid brother, who said that I have no relatives, Weng Xu's mother is my own sister, although they live in Guangwang, but it is also very close to Handan, I can also live with them, or I can also bring them to Chang'an if I have the opportunity in the future, it doesn't mean that I won't come to see you in the future, don't cry."
No matter how Gongsun Yu and Yi Susu stayed, Lu Fu had made up his mind and made an appointment with Jia Chang'er to return to Handan together at the beginning of next month.
Before Lu Fu left, he also wanted to pass on his concocting skills to Gongsun Yu and Su Su. Lu Fu's concoction skills were taught to him by his cousin and uncle, who had learned alchemy, medicine collection and concocting from an old Taoist when he was young.
Of course, in the past few years, Yi Susu has also been with Lu Fu and learned a lot of skills, but there are some core things that need to be broken by Lu Fu.
Gongsun Yu has always had the habit of recording his concoction skills, but he only recorded them piecemeal, and there was no system to sort them out, and Lu Fu did not say everything. While he is leaving, he will pass on everything he has learned in his life to this pair of young people, which can be regarded as the reward of these seven years of getting along day and night.
Lu Fu said: "There are four methods for the preparation of medicinal materials, one is repair, one is water, one is fire and water and fire, what is repair, generally those who do not use fire are repaired, so that the water system is also repaired, in fact, there are differences, low-temperature water system, such as drenching, washing, soaking, moistening, and bleaching, these are repairs, and the others are water systems. ”
Gongsun Yu and Yi Susu listened to it with relish, and Gongsun Yu also took a brush to make notes from time to time.
I only heard Lu Fu continue: "The first one in the fire system is stir-frying, stir-frying and stir-frying, stir-frying is also divided into stir-fried yellow, fried coke and fried carbon, this discriminator is better than me, she can see at a glance that I am a little old and dizzy now, haha." ”
Yi Susu also stuck out his tongue and looked at Lu Fu mischievously.
Lu Fu continued: "The second method of fire is called burning, and the cooking is also to add auxiliary ingredients to fry, but the ingredients added to the burning are honey, wine, vinegar, ginger juice, salt water, and even some use children's urine, haha. ”
Speaking of which, everyone laughed together.
"The third one of fire is calcining, calcining has direct calcination and indirect calcining, Jin Shidan is to use direct calcining, which takes a little longer, and simmering, that is, indirect calcining, can not directly use fire calcining of medicinal materials; Fire and simmering, that is, using a moist cloth or moist flour to wrap the medicine and put it in the fire to burn, remember, the most used in the preparation is fire, there are four methods of fire making: frying, broiling, calcining, and simmering. ”
Yi Susu was fascinated by what she heard, and continued to ask: "Brother Lu, what about the co-system of fire and water?" Although I know how to make many methods, I don't know which method to use when I encounter new medicinal materials. ”
Lu Fu looked at the eyes of the two of them with a strong desire to learn, and still said with a smile: "There are also four methods of water and fire, the first is quenching, and the harder medicinal materials should be quenched; Then there is burning, which is to quickly put the herbs into boiling water for a short time, and pick them up immediately; And then there's steaming and boiling......"
In the past few days, Lu Fu explained to them whenever he was free, Yi Susu had concocted with his father-in-law and Lu Fu before, but she was just a helper, Gongsun Yu had less contact, and it was usually Lu Fu who was concocting, and now that Lu Fu was leaving Chang'an, they could only do it in person.
Wu Youhuan knew that Lu Fu was leaving, and he also came to say goodbye to him, that night, the two really drank a lot of wine, anyway, Lu Fu was drunk and unconscious, and Wu Youhuan was carried back by his men.
As for Jiang Chong and Lu Ji, I don't know if they broke Lu Fu's heart or if there were other reasons, anyway, Lu Fu didn't say goodbye to them, but just told Gongsun Yu and Yi Susu, and if he saw them, he would tell them on his behalf.
In the blink of an eye, next month has passed, and the time for Lu Fu and Jia Chang'er to agree on Gray Handan has also arrived. Tomorrow is leaving, and Lu Fu has already packed his bags. Tonight, he specially cooked a dish, and also took out a jar of Xifeng wine that had been treasured for many years, and Gongsun Yu and Yi Susu also made an exception to drink with Lu Fu.
After everyone drank a bowl of wine to each other, Lu Fu looked at the pair of young people in front of him and said affectionately: "Brother, Su Su, I thought about a wish before leaving. ”
Yi Susu probably guessed what Lu Fu wanted to say, so he kept silent, and Gongsun Yu hurriedly asked, "Brother Lu, if you have any wishes, we can help you." ”
Lu Fu raised the wine bowl, raised his head and drank it all, pursed his lips and said, "My wish is to see you get married." ”
Yi Susu lowered his head and remained silent, Gongsun Yu didn't expect Lu Fu to suddenly ask this question, he seemed at a loss, and he didn't know what to say. Lu Fu looked at them silently, and continued: "You are all the eldest and should have been married a long time ago, I know that you have not dared to mention it because there is no one to help you make the decisions; Su Su, your parents died early, and your adoptive father also passed away, I can make decisions with you, brother, your parents are in their hometown, far away from Chang'an, and my uncle is not in Chang'an, I will also call the shots with you, be your matchmaker, you can see if it works. ”
Gongsun Yu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I am willing, but..."
Before Gongsun Yu finished speaking, Lu Fu immediately asked Yi Susu: "Susu, what about you?" ”
After being silent for a while, Yi Susu still didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement. This made Lu Fu laugh out loud, poured three bowls of wine, and said loudly, "Let's all drink this bowl of wine for your marriage." ”
After finishing speaking, he raised his head and finished drinking, and Gongsun Yu and Yi Susu also finished drinking, at this time Lu Fu felt as if there was something missing, so he said: "You are husband and wife after drinking, but it seems that there is a lack of a ritual." ”
At this time, Yi Susu finally spoke, only to see her say a little shyly: "Brother Lu, it is enough for you to testify, what more ceremony is needed." ”
Gongsun Yu also said with a smile: "Yes, do you still have to carry the sedan chair eight times, and you have to worship the church to get married." ”
Lu Fu still smiled, and said, "That's not necessary, according to the custom, you should take a hair from your head and put it together in a knot, and you will be husband and wife." ”
"I see."
Gongsun Yu immediately pulled out a hair on his head, Yi Susu also pulled out a hair and handed it to Gongsun Yu, Gongsun Yu hurriedly knotted the two hairs together, and from then on, they were married couples.
Loufo watched their hair tie up and burst into tears.
The next day, Jia Chang'er drove a carriage to the hospital to meet Lu Fu, they said goodbye to Gongsun Yu and his wife, and also said goodbye to Wu Youhuan, the marquis, and left Chang'an.
