Volume 8 Chapter 42 Small Days
Has Wei Yan been beaten?
Of course it won't, just returned from a catastrophe, don't say that the delicious food and drink hurry up and make up, and then go to be beaten, it seems unlikely, the old man is just talking about it, scolding two sentences out of anger, really let him do it, for a while, he really can't do it, and finally has to hum two sentences: "You just got injured not long ago, wait until you get well, and the old man will teach you a lesson." ”
At this time, you must go down the steps, and if you don't know each other, it is not filial piety, but disobedience. Wei Yan nodded hurriedly, his face full of righteousness: "Father-in-law is merciful, I really deserve to be a child so much, Dad, you can 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 care?" Hurry up, get up and cook, and try that pumpkin you mentioned. ”
"Okay, father-in-law, eldest brother sit down for a while, I'll be fine for a while." Wei Yan smiled, jumped up, and slid into the kitchen.
Pumpkin is a plant, planting is not difficult, Wei Yan remembers that when he was a child in the countryside, in front of the house and behind the house, almost every household has planted, it is very common and easy to survive a plant, and the harvest period is long, melons, leaves, flowers, vines can be used in vegetables, and the taste is still very delicious.
Pumpkin flowers can be fried and eaten, or they can be fried with rice and noodles to make cakes and eat; The melon can be fried and eaten, and it can also be stewed in soup, and there are various methods; The leaves and vines should be picked when they are tender, washed and fried with garlic cloves, tender green and delicious, and the taste is very good.
After going out for so many months, the pumpkin planted before going out has now produced a few small and tender pumpkins, and the melons at this time are picked and cut into shreds and fried to eat, or stewed with pork ribs. They are the most delicious side dishes.
Pumpkin flowers are also particular when picking vegetables, so you should observe carefully and choose those flowers that will not bear fruit, and it is most suitable when they have just opened or are still flowers. The pumpkin vine, on the other hand, is to pick the tender ones when they have begun to bear fruit, and will not affect the harvest field, and rub and wash off the white fluff on the pumpkin vine. Put some garlic cloves, fry in the oil pot, the method is simple, the taste is good, it is a seasonal fresh dish that is often available in farmers' homes.
Before going out, Wei Yan specially explained the places that needed attention, so the pumpkin grew very well, so it was planted in the garden of Wei Mansion and crawled all over the ground. Wei Yan deliberately chose two larger ones. I went back to the kitchen to cook, I haven't fiddled with these things for a long time, and now I'm starting to ** again, but I feel very happy, this is called life.
Make the ingredients, put cold water in the pot, put the sliced pumpkin and pork ribs in it, and pat the ginger and garlic cloves into it. Add the salt again, cover the pot and simmer slowly. There is a saying in the countryside called the cold water melon of the cabbage, which means that the boiled cabbage must be boiled before the vegetables are put in, and the boiled pumpkin must be put in cold water, and the water can not be boiled before boiling.
The degree of the guard is very fast. That's half an hour. happily got a table of dishes out, asked someone to bring them to the dining room, washed their hands, cleaned up, and followed them to the dining room. Southerners eat light food, while northerners eat greasy food, and every meal is meatless.
This diet. Harmful to health. When you are young, you don't feel that your body can't bear it when you're old. In the past, Old Man Qin was also in this habit. I was twisted by Wei Yan, but now that I am used to eating, I feel that it is more comfortable to be lighter.
The family happily eats around the dining table, Xie Jiu and Wei Yan sit next to a baby, the chair that the Qilin sisters and brothers sit on is special, with a high back chair for the dining table, and a small table in front of them, where they can put their small bowls, and they don't have to worry about them falling down, and they won't add chaos to the dining table.
After eating, Xie Jiu beckoned someone to clean up, and then went to clean up the Qilin sisters and brothers who had eaten well but were covered in oil, and Wei Yan and his son went for a walk after cooking, and walked around their own garden. Xie Jiu asked someone to put tea in the pavilion, and left the father and son to go there to drink tea and chat after walking.
Taking the opportunity to take a walk, Wei Yan talked about the incident with his father-in-law and eldest brother about going out this time, and by the way, he went into detail together. After listening to what Wei Yan said, the old man said: "Go to Dali Temple to check the file, let's talk about it later." ”
Wei Yan said: "Father-in-law, rest assured, I understand, now is on the cusp, it's too late to be low-key, at this time, it is not appropriate to go to Dali Temple to check the files." ”
Qin Wei said: "Qi Wangyou was arrested, King Han was also arrested, Hou Jun was defeated, these people don't have to worry about them setting off waves in the future, the outcome can be almost determined, there is no need to worry." Shu Wang Li is a bad person, but fortunately, there is a shrewd mother and elder brother who can control it, and after this time, it will also be somewhat restrained, and the fourth brother's life will be much better in the future. ”
Wei Yan nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, in the future, we will be able to raise our eyebrows and live with our waists straight, and now I feel happy when I think about it." ”
The old man glanced at him and said earnestly: "In this court, where can there be a truly stable day, I always teach your brothers, to be cautious in words and deeds, and to restrain yourself and cultivate yourself, which is better than anything else." ”
"Yes, the child only obeys his father's teachings." The two brothers said in unison, Wei Yan listened very carefully, he is a modern person, there is a difference in values and outlook on life between modern society and ancient society, not to mention that there is a difference of more than a thousand years, that is, a difference of ten years, and there is also a person of two eras, and there is also a kind of thing called the generation gap. Surviving in the society of Datang, the old man is more experienced than him, and it is always right to listen to it.
The father and son went around the garden twice, walked to the gazebo, and when they saw that the tea was arranged, they went over and sat down and continued. Speaking of the mention given by His Majesty Li Er, and speaking of Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, the father and son were all embarrassed. The old man was a general in the court before he retired, and in order to avoid suspicion, it was common sense not to associate with the vassal king, and he didn't have much to do with Li Yuanchang. Li Yuanchang was intimidated by the majesty of His Majesty Li Er, and he did not dare to make friends with the ministers, but just wandered among several princes.
"People's hearts are separated from their bellies, nothing more than that, looking at such a gentle and elegant person, but such a sinister mind, it is chilling."
The old man sighed. The people he is used to mixing in the army are used to being straightforward, and he can't see such people the most. Wei Yan just smiled, the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, everyone in this world is different, there are such and such people, there is no need to be strange at all.
Let's talk about it, we talked about it all afternoon. Considering that the city gate was about to be closed, the two fathers and sons of the Qin family said goodbye and returned to the city, and told Wei Yan to "pretend to be sick", this instruction made Wei Yan listen to the black lines all over his head, and for a while he really didn't know whether to cry or laugh, they all bullied him, they were all bad people.
Wei Ziyue and Wei Da Divine Doctor accidentally had a cold when they went out to Beijing with His Majesty, and they were sick and at home, after the news spread in Beijing. The people I knew were more or less comforted, and they were all received by Xie Jiu, Wei Yan was a patient, and it was inconvenient to meet guests, so he could only hide in the bedroom and play with the children.
Two days later, in order to better recuperate, the Wei family decided to move to Zhuangzi, which was far from Chang'an, to live for two days. In order to take care of Wei Yan nearby, the Qin Mansion also followed. Leaving the capital, the "patient" Wei Yan came back in spirit, it was impossible to go up the mountain to hunt, he had no martial arts, he went down to the river to fish---- take a look at the deep river, and then estimated his own swimming skills, Wei Yan wisely chose to use fishing, and went down to the river or forget it.
He wore a broken hat and carried a fish basket. Bring homemade bait. It is also very comfortable to lead the big tiger to sit by the river, regardless of whether he can catch a fish or not, just basking in the sun leisurely.
Erhu's mother-in-law, Yun Niang, gave birth to a big fat boy to Erhu, and the guy laughed stupidly all day long, saying that he would train his kid well in the future, and continue to protect the young lady and young master of Weifu in the future. A new kid has been added to the house. Big Tiger this is a big uncle. I'm also very happy, and I'm busy with it. I want to hug the baby, but I'm afraid that I'm clumsy, my hands hurt the baby, and he is clumsy, more careful than his own father, and occasionally looks at Erhu and Yun Niang Hele, and there will be a trace of envy in his eyes.
"Big Tiger, do you want to get married?" With a hat on his face, Wei Yan asked someone to spread a layer of straw mats on the grass by the river, lay on the grass by the river, crossed Erlang's legs, and took a piece of grass in his mouth, and asked. Dahu nodded, and said honestly: "I want to, who doesn't want to get married, but there is no object, master." ”
"We Weifu people want to find a partner, that's not a matter of words, I asked you a few years ago, you said you still want to play, and now I see that the two tigers are in front of you to be a father, so I know that I am in a hurry, don't worry, Mrs. has asked someone to find a matchmaker, and I will definitely find a good daughter-in-law for you."
"Then thank you in advance, Lord and Madame."
The big tiger smiled innocently, compared to his younger brother, he was even more unspeakable, and he was more straightforward. The two brothers...... Wei Yan couldn't help but think about what he looked like when he first saw the two of them, and couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that unconsciously, time had slipped over for so many years, and the time of his meow was like flowing water, and he never looked back.
"Is it Lord Wei Ziyue in front?"
There was a sentence with the big tiger, and there was no idle talk, asking what the big tiger had for finding a partner, and the place was lively, and a coquettish question came from a distance.
Wei Yan took down the hat and got up to look, but it was a team of people parked on the official road not far away, a big carriage, and a woman stood on the carriage, but it looked like Princess Yuzhang. Wei Yan hurriedly got up and saluted: "I've seen the princess, it's here, I didn't expect the princess to come here." ”
Princess Yuzhang returned the salute with a smile, walked over, and said with a smile on her face: "I heard that Lord Wei accidentally had a cold on the way back to Beijing, and came here to recuperate, but now, looking at Lord Wei's posture, it seems that he has recovered?" ”
There was some teasing meaning in his eyes, but Wei Yan said without changing his face: "Princess Lao asked, it is indeed almost better, our man has good body and bones, and the wind and cold are just a minor illness, and it will be almost good for two days." The princess's posture seems to have just come back, is this going back? ”
Princess Yuzhang smiled: "I'm going back." The weather in Kyori is not comfortable, and many sisters have come here, so it is good for everyone to walk around while they are free. How is the harvest of Lord Wei today? Have you ever caught a big fish? ”
Wei Yan knows his own affairs, and when it comes to fishing skills, he doesn't have any skills, he just comes out to play time when he is idle and bored. Princess Yuzhang asked, and the guy said seriously: "The joy of fishing lies in fishing, not fish, whether you catch a big fish or not, it makes no difference to Yu Wei, it's just entertainment." ”
Princess Yuzhang smiled again and said, "It's getting late, Lord Wei shouldn't indulge in entertainment, let Mrs. Wei worry, go back." The palace also went back, by the way, since Lord Wei is here, then Mrs. Wei must also come, this palace will come to visit tomorrow, get together with Mrs. Wei, and have some questions to ask Mrs. Wei. ”
"Okay, goodbye princess, I will tell my wife to be ready to welcome the princess when I go back."
Princess Yuzhang smiled again, saluted Wei Yan and returned to the carriage, and left with her subordinates. Wei Yan looked up at the sky, it was indeed time to go back, and called the big tiger: "Big tiger, go, go back, by the way, did you catch this afternoon's fish soup?" ”
Dahu was embarrassed: "Master, if you want to make fish soup, it is estimated that it will be a little difficult, why don't we eat fried shrimp?" ”
Wei Yan didn't care about the harvest of fishing all afternoon, he had been napping on the grass, listening to the big tiger say this, he was slightly stunned, poked his head to look at the fish basket, it was really in addition to a basket of live shrimp, there were also fish, and two, but only half the size of a palm, cooked fish soup, it is estimated that one person is not enough to share a mouthful.
The technical problem is a big problem, not something that can be solved in a while, Wei Yan thought about it, waved his hand in a spirited manner, and asked the big tiger to pick up the fish basket and go home, and the fish soup will continue to work hard another day
