Chapter 231: Conversation at the Banquet

After chatting for two or three quarters of an hour, Chen Erlin and his wife entered the hall with various plates of dishes, nervous and a little flustered.

Fang Jing hurriedly got up, moved the table over, and after putting the dishes away, he also followed Chen Erlin and his wife to the stove room to help.

"Uncle, aunt, you don't need to be nervous, how you used to get along with each other now, they are all random people, besides, they are also ordinary people, the same is born from the mother's womb, the same to eat and drink, the same old will die, don't be nervous." Fang Jing was in the stove room, comforting Chen Erlin and his wife.

For the Zhuang family, the emperor and the empress, that is really a person who can only be imagined, not to mention seeing or meeting, and even cooking for the most noble person in the world today, I am not nervous, it is fake, Chen Erlin and his wife just want not to do anything wrong, and they have not made any mistakes today, but the nervousness in their hearts is naturally brought to this kind of person, and it cannot be avoided at all, it can also be said that Chen Erlin and his wife are only afraid and nervous about these nobles because they have received less education and less cognition.

"Jing Wazi, what we know is that they are the emperor and queen, and we will inevitably be nervous, and there is no way to do it." Of course, Chen Erlin hopes that there will be an emperor and queen at home and sit at home for a meal, which is also the most glorious thing in the world, and this can be boasted of for a lifetime in the future.

"Uncle, aunt, if you are really nervous, take a deep breath." Fang Jing can't help it, this kind of nervousness is only slowly generated because of lack of knowledge, and the later education is even more inseparable, without self-confidence, the inferiority complex in his heart arises spontaneously.

"Jing Wazi, you can bring these dishes over, we will eat in the stove room today." Zhang Xiaoxia was the same, she was nervous, and pointed to a few dishes still on the stove and said.

"Alas, okay, then you can eat in the stove room, I and the little babies will eat in the hall, and call me if you have something." Fang Jing began to take the other dishes and went to the hall.

After setting up the dishes, he began to serve the meal on the table together, and invited Li Shimin and his wife and a few little babies to sit down.

Fang Yuan looked like I was the master, climbed into a chair and sat down, set up the dishes and chopsticks, and began to eat for himself, in the past, Qingque basically had to eat by themselves, or give Li Dexian and Li Mengjiang two younger girls to eat, of course, today is no exception.

Li Shimin and his wife saw straight eyes, they had never seen Qingque and Lizhi eat by themselves, and they had never seen their own sisters, when they were in the palace before, if the subordinates did not give them a good meal for half a quarter at night, they would inevitably have a colorless face, angry eyes, and even pointed at their subordinates to preach or scold, but now, it has only been a few months since they came to Fangjia Village, and there has been such a big change, Li Shimin and his wife are very relieved in their eyes.

The other little babies are quite conscious, in addition to helping to serve the dishes, put the dishes that the little babies need to eat on the small table, take their own meals, sit around the small table, and wait for Fang Jing's meal, which has already formed a family motto of Fang Jing's family.

"Holy Lord, Queen, it's time to eat, please." After Fang Jing finished speaking, she picked up her chopsticks and sandwiched some dishes for Li Shimin and his wife, which was considered to be an official meal, of course, this is also a set of processes that must be exercised as a host, similar to picking dishes for guests, indicating that you should not be polite.

Fang Jing's family eats, there are no public chopsticks or unfair chopsticks at present, in the Zhuang family's house, where can there be this kind of thing, ordinary Zhuang family, it is already good to have a full meal, and it is also divided into public and private chopsticks, it is estimated that it can be sprayed to death by the family or other villagers, and Fang Jing will not pay attention to these small details.

"Brother, the braised pork is delicious, and the dishes made by my aunt are getting better and better, I almost forgot about the dishes you made, brother." Fang Yuan took a piece of braised pork by himself, put it in his mouth and chewed.

Li Shimin and his wife, as well as a few little babies of Qingque, will not be unkind, after taking a bite of the meal with chopsticks, stretching out the chopsticks to eat the dishes on the plate, although Li Shimin and his wife are relatively reserved, but Qingque They will not be like this, as many dishes as they can clip, they will clip as many dishes.

"Sir, this dish is really delicious, after eating it in the palace once last time, I miss it very much." Li Shimin also put a piece of braised pork in his mouth and chewed it, but the same dish in the palace was not as good as Fang Jing's family, Li Shimin felt that he was not as good as Fang Jing's family.

"Sir's food, I have always missed, the months I lived in my husband's house before, although it was more bitter, not as good as it is now, but this meal has not changed its taste, it is still so delicious." The queen was holding chopsticks and eating, but her mouth kept talking about the past.

"Holy Lord, Queen, if you like to eat, then eat more." Fang Jing looked at the sound of the little babies eating in the hall, and rarely spoke, which was very different from usual, the arrival of Li Shimin and his wife made the little babies dare not talk more.

"Well, Mr. is right, I must eat more, otherwise I won't be able to eat when I leave Fangjia Village." Li Shimin was no longer polite, and took a big bite of the meal with the dishes, with a sense of satisfaction.

"My husband's food is delicious, but I can only eat less." Although the queen wanted to eat more, she gave birth to the county lord of Chengyang a few months ago, and her body had not fully recovered, so she had to eat some light dishes at will.

After Fang Jing listened to the words of Li Shimin and his wife, he didn't feel anything in his heart, and he didn't care much about the queen eating less, maybe it was because of her physical problems, Fang Jing had read the history books that the eldest grandson queen seemed to have some kind of qi disease, which may be a hereditary heart disease or respiratory disease.

Empress Changsun, the wife of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang people's family, the small character Guanyin, there is no record of her name in the annals, the sister of the Tang Dynasty Prime Minister Changsun Wuji, married Li Shimin at the age of thirteen, and had children, Li Gaoming, Li Tai, Li Lizhi, Li Mingda, Li Zhi, Princess Chengyang, Princess Xincheng seven, died of illness in June of the tenth year of Zhenguan (636 AD), nicknamed Empress Wende, at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve six, and was praised as the first virtuous queen in the world by the later dynasty.

"Shengshang, queen, if the queen is sick, please ask the imperial doctor to check, I have heard that there is a holy hand of medicine in Zhongnan Mountain, Sun Simiao, the saint can ask him to come out of the mountain for diagnosis and treatment, and it is better to feel at ease." Fang Jing remembered that the queen had a physical problem, so she admonished.

"Sir, Guanyin's body is indeed not very good, but the imperial doctor said that it is a qi disease, and he only needs to rest and recuperate, and he will be fine, but what Mr. said about Sun Simiao and Sun Daochang, I know it, but I heard that Sun Daochang has been traveling around for many years, and I also ordered someone to invite him to Chang'an, but he is unwilling to go to Chang'an, it's a pity." After listening to Fang Jing's words, Li Shimin put down his chopsticks and explained.

"Shengshang, if Sun Simiao and Sun Daochang don't want to go to Chang'an, you can send someone to invite him to our village, and he will come to our village if you think he comes." Fang Jing actually wanted to see in his heart, this generation of medicine kings recorded in history, this master has a very high status in the history of Chinese medicine in China, not to mention that Fang Jing still has some things in his heart that he wants to see Sun Simiao, as for what it is, only Fang Jing himself knows.

"Sir, is that good? Although the good Sun Daochang is a traveling doctor, I have also heard that he does not charge much for diagnosis and treatment for others, and he is a good doctor for my Datang Dynasty, but his personality is extremely withdrawn, and he will not be willing to come to Fangjia Village if he wants to come. Of course, Li Shimin hopes that there is a medical saint master in his hands, so that he doesn't have to worry about Guanyin.

"Holy Lord, after eating, I will write a letter and hand it to you, and then hand it over to Daoist Sun Simiao, I believe that he will be willing to come to our village." Fang Jing said with great certainty.

"Xiao Tuanzi, what are you doing here? We haven't finished eating yet, look at you, you've eaten all this dish. After Fang Jing finished talking to Li Shimin and his wife, he was about to pick up chopsticks to pick up vegetables, but there was not even a piece of braised pork on the table on this plate.

"Hmph, bad brother, I didn't finish eating, they all followed me to eat it." Fang Yuan was a little unhappy by Fang Jing's words, although there was a lot of soup everywhere on the corners of his mouth, but he was unhappy.

"Sir, it's okay, it's okay, this dish is made to eat, it's a good thing that the little babies like to eat, I'm afraid they don't like to eat, it's delicious, so I rush to eat it." The queen also took a look at her little baby at this time, just like Fang Yuan, there were still a few pieces of braised pork lying in her bowl, and her face was covered with soup.

"Then let's eat first, and then talk about other things after eating." Li Shimin also felt that his little baby had lost some etiquette, which was not very good, and glared at the four of them.

Qingque Li and the four of them didn't care about Li Shimin's glare, they could eat braised pork once, even if you stared a few more times, it didn't matter, anyway, the meal was the biggest, this was what their brother Jing said, and now they are pursuing Fang Jing's words.

A few little babies on the small table, not to mention, the dishes on the plate are basically shared, but they will not eat the vegetables honestly like adults, just hold the dishes on the plate, pick up some vegetables in everyone's bowl, and eat them with the rice, maybe Fang Jing's family has always pursued the instructions of not wasting food and dishes, plus the deliciousness of the dishes, it is impossible to have many leftovers, not to mention that braised pork is not a chance to eat every day, it is possible to cook it once in a week or even half a month.

After lunch, Chen Erlin and his wife came from the stove room to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and the little babies also began to help clean up, and washed their own dishes and chopsticks, which was also a rule that Fang Jing had set a long time ago, but Fang Jing, the old lady, could be an exception, even Li Dexian and Li Mengjiang took their own dishes and chopsticks to the small ditch to wash the dishes.

Seeing the situation in front of them, Li Shimin and his wife were greatly admired, and secretly said in their hearts, this Fang Jing's education method is so simple and rude, but the effect is so great, a prince and three county lords, who have been here for less than half a year, are already so sensible and well-behaved, Li Shimin and his wife are very relieved in their hearts.

Fang Jing sat in the hall with Li Shimin and his wife, chatting with them, and the little babies at home, after washing the dishes and chopsticks, returned to the pool by the ditch, ready to get back the watermelons or melons soaked in the pool.

"Sir, don't these little babies need to enter the hall today?" The queen saw that the little babies were doing nothing all day today, so she asked Fang Jing.

"Holy Lord, Queen, this is the time for the school to rest, and this time is the time to harvest rice, so the school is closed for two months, so it is good to give the students a vacation, rest and rest, and relieve the tension caused by learning, the method of the Fang family school is formulated according to the actual situation, but it can not be compared with the Guozijian in Chang'an, where it is basically based on learning Confucianism, and the Fang family school is currently mainly about literacy and Confucianism, plus some arithmetic and some knowledge I teach."

Fang Jing explained to Li Shimin and his wife, but he didn't want Li Shimin and his wife to misunderstand, not that they didn't teach the little babies, of course, they could also go to the three gentlemen to ask about the situation, but they could understand something, but they still explained it themselves in a measured way.
