Chapter 230: Jingjiao Station
In the yellow sand of the official road, a silent convoy drove on the edge of the sky at dusk. Wan Ying has been a little sullen since noon. Prince Rong was worried that Wanying would be sad, so he abandoned the horse and boarded the carriage, and the two sat in the carriage together.
"Isn't the car too bumpy, I see that your face is not good!"
Wan Ying smiled, shook her head, and said, "No. ”
"Still worried about the noon?"
Wan Ying smiled, shook her head, and said, "No! ”
Prince Rong bent down slightly and hugged Wanying over his shoulder.
Wanying said lightly: "My chest is so tight that I always want to vomit." ”
Prince Rong lifted the curtain and said to the attendants, "Bring the candied fruit box." ”
Wan Ying pointed to the black lacquer food box under the thin blanket and said, "There are still dried plums here, don't toss them." ”
Prince Rong waved his hand, lowered the curtain, and bent down to place the food box on his lap. Buckle the lid of the food box, pinch a dried plum and put it in Wanying's mouth.
Wanying had a sour dried plum in her mouth, and the vomiting in her abdomen was slightly better.
About dark, a group of people arrived at the post station, sat on the carriage for a day, Wanying was sour and sleepy, when getting out of the car, Prince Rong directly met everyone's eyes and carried Wanying to the guest room.
Hongfu also experienced the turmoil at noon, and also saw that Wanying was sullen all afternoon, so she deliberately took advantage of Prince Rong's absence, squeezed around Wanying, and said: "The prince treats his mother so well, he is really afraid of breaking it in his hand, and he is afraid of melting in his mouth." ”
Yun Niang placed her luggage, took a piece of dim sum and handed it to Wanying: "It's not enough to just eat candied fruit, the more you eat the more sour your stomach becomes, the more sour you are, the more you want to vomit, eat a snack, press it." ”
"I don't want to eat, I don't have an appetite."
"Niangniang, let's rush outside, although the post station is also doing its best, after all, it still can't get in, Niangniang walked all the way and vomited all the way, and I didn't have a good meal in the past two days! If you are hungry, the son in your belly will not be used! Hongfu said.
"Niangniang, let's eat together, you don't necessarily have to make some dishes for dinner, Niangniang is hungry, and Xiao Shizi is also hungry." Yun Niang said and handed the snack to Wan Ying.
Wanying thought of the child in her belly, took the snack, and reluctantly took a bite, the unbearable smell of the ninja, and finally swallowed a few bites.
Hongfu and Yunniang breathed a sigh of relief. As a result, before she finished eating a piece of dim sum, Wanying suddenly churned in her abdomen, and before Hongfu could hold the spittoon over, Wanying had already spit out the sour water in her stomach and a few mouthfuls of the freshly swallowed dim sum on the ground.
Yun Niang hurriedly looked for tea, but the teapot was empty, so she ordered Hongfu to fetch it, and lay on the ground to clean up the mess of Wanying's morning sickness.
Wanying's mouth seemed to be coated with a layer of sour juice, and her mouth was astringent and swollen. In my heart, I was tired of trouble. When I looked up, I saw Yun Niang lying on the ground wiping, and the confusion in my heart turned into apology.
"Yun Niang, let the people below clean up these jobs."
"Niangniang, I don't feel at ease when people outside come in and out."
Wanying's heart warmed, and her annoyance also volatilized a lot, "It's good not to eat this snack." We're all less hardworking. ”
"Mother, how can you say that! It is only natural that we serve our mothers. Now that she is pregnant with a child, even if she vomits after eating, she can't go hungry. ”
Wan Ying leaned on the edge of the table and muttered to herself: "I didn't eat the dim sum in my stomach, but I made you busy in vain." ”
Yun Niang knew that Wan Ying was still framing Master Shi for someone else at noon, and she was troubled, and wanted to go over to appease Wan Ying, but she had no choice but to hold a filthy rag in her hand, so she could only say: "Niangniang, I'll go wash my hands and come over to talk to Niangniang." ”
Wanying nodded, Yun Niang got up, and Hongfu came in with a kettle. After making tea, I mixed the washing water again, walked to Wanying's side, and whispered: "Niangniang, rinse your mouth, wash your face, and go to remove the dust on your face." ”
Wanying got up in a deep manner, took the hot towel handed over by Hongfu, and put it on her face, and after a long time, she felt a little lighter around her. Hongfu handed over a cup of tea that was neither hot nor cold. Wanying rinsed it a few times before she felt that her mouth was no longer sour.
It was dinner at night, and the post station was full of energy and sent a table of chicken, duck and fish. Wanying was in the room, through the door, smelling the meat of a table, and the vomit that was not easy to suppress, and kept rolling up.
"Lord, I received your letter a few days ago, and I thought I should have come over last night. It just so happened that yesterday I got a few live sweetfish, all of which were already steamed on the cage, and the post station where the prince stayed overnight yesterday came to report the news, saying that the prince was staying with them today, and he could only grieve the prince about these chickens and ducks. It's all killed and slaughtered, and the live fish is thrown into the oil pot and flicks its tail! ”
The post man outside the door spoke vividly, and Wanying in the inner room covered her chest and sighed several times.
"Your mind, this king knows, if there is some light porridge, get a few bowls."
"Yes, yes, let's get it."
After a cup of tea, Yi Cheng personally came in with a few bowls of white porridge. He groveled and said: "Lord Wang, I only care about buying chicken, duck and fish, and I forgot to buy some eight-treasure materials to come back, today there is only clear porridge, the prince drinks it first, and the slave has already sent someone to find five-color rice, and when I have supper, I will send a few bowls of good porridge over." ”
Seeing that Yicheng still looked talkative, Prince Rong said lightly: "Why don't Yicheng sit down and eat together." ”
Yi Cheng was so frightened and frightened that he patronized and patted his ass, forgetting that the dishes should be eaten while they were hot, and he was pestled here, and the prince couldn't use the food. Thinking of this, he twisted his face with shame and said: "The prince has golden branches and jade leaves, how can you accompany this humble face, the prince has raised the humble position, and there is no fodder for the humble position." ”
After Yi Cheng finished speaking, he closed the door with a red face and withdrew.
Yun Niang breathed a sigh of relief and helped Wanying out of the room.
As soon as he pushed open the door, he bent over with his mouth covered, looking around for the whereabouts of the spittoon.
"Niangniang, Niangniang......" Seeing this, Hongfu hurriedly hugged the spittoon and came to her.
Prince Rong looked distressed, he didn't expect the woman's pregnancy to be so hard. Wanying really couldn't spit anything out of her stomach. Just keep grunting.
After another toss, the churning in her abdomen was finally suppressed, Wanying vomited tears in her eyes, and said weakly: "I really can't eat it, you can use it first!" ”
Hongfu glanced at the dishes on the table in the outer room, shook her head and said: "These dishes are either fried, fried, or fried, greasy, not to mention that the mother has no appetite when she is pregnant, even if she has never eaten such a greasy meal." ”
Hongfu's words were an understatement, Yun Niang frowned and said: "There is no village in front of this, there is no store in the back, there is a table in the post station, and it must have been busy for a few days." Niangniang is tired of eating fish and meat, likes light, and naturally doesn't like greasy, but in this place, she can be willing to put so much oil, which shows that Yicheng respects the prince in his heart. ”
Yun Niang's words are true, in order to welcome the arrival of Prince Rong, the post station has been busy for several days since the day he received the news, since yesterday before dawn, he began to arrange meals, and finally made a big table, and waited until nightfall, and the result was a small house from the previous post station. There is no way, the money spent can only reward subordinates for a table of good dishes.
Before dawn today, Yi Cheng personally rode a fast horse, ran to a place dozens of miles away, purchased chicken, duck and fish meat again, and came back in a panic. After another busy day, I finally received the true God.
Yi Cheng thought that he had spent a lot of effort, and he always wanted to show his face in front of Prince Rong. Prince Rong also knew that it would be really embarrassing to get such a table of chicken, duck, fish and meat for dinner, but he was worried that Wanying hadn't eaten for two days, so he didn't have the heart to listen to the flattering words.
"Remove all those dishes, I smell nauseous." Wanying said with tears in her eyes.
Prince Rong was about to beckon someone to serve the food, Yun Niang rushed forward, leaned in Wanying's ear and whispered: "Niangniang, hurry up and stop the prince, that Yicheng has also been busy for a few days, just like this, the chopsticks don't move down, Yicheng's face can't be hung up, and his heart is uncomfortable." ”
Wanying suddenly realized, and quickly raised her voice and said, "Liulang, wait a minute." ”
"What's wrong?"
"I was suddenly hungry and wanted to take a few bites."
Prince Rong was overjoyed, and Yun Niang Hongfu hurriedly helped Wanying to sit down. Sitting in front of the table full of meat, Wanying's chest was turbulent, and the clouds and rain were overturned. Forcibly picked up a bowl of rice porridge.
Before he picked up the soup, he wanted to vomit, but Hongfu came over with a spittoon, but it was a false alarm.
After drinking a few sips of rice porridge lightly, Wanying also felt that her stomach was moisturized a lot, and she was a little overjoyed when she looked at a plate of green vegetables in front of her, and put a chopstick in her mouth. A peculiar smooth and crisp texture that quickly swept through the taste buds, and the vomit was firmly covered.
"What kind of dish is this? It's so delicious. ”
Prince Rong also took a chopstick and tasted it, and his face showed surprise, "Sure enough, it tastes a little, I've never eaten this before." ”
"yes, I haven't eaten this dish at home."
Yun Niang looked at the leaves of the vegetable, like shepherd's cabbage, and Hongfu also seemed to see it, and was about to speak, but was pressed behind by Yun Niang.
"Have you ever seen this dish?" Prince Rong asked.
Yun Niang shook her head, "It's better to ask Yi Cheng to come in and ask, and we will also follow the princess to see for a long time!" ”
Wanying grabbed another pair of chopsticks and said: "That's exactly the truth, I also want to ask, what kind of dish is this?" ”
Prince Rong looked happy and called Yicheng in.
Yi Cheng came in with a happy face, knelt down to meet Prince Rong and Wanying, and then chattered happily: "I didn't expect this dish to come out on top, it's really unexpected." ”
Yun Niang stood behind Wan Ying, of course she understood the truth of Yi Cheng's words. But Prince Rong didn't understand and asked, "Yicheng, what do you mean by this?" Don't you think the top dish should be the first dish? ”
"If you go back to the prince, you haven't spent a penny on this dish. Lord Wang, you don't know that since you received the letter, you are sincerely afraid of your humble position, for fear of neglecting the prince and her mother. The prince and the mother are the gods in the sky, the humble position is just the mortal mud fetus in the world, the prince and the mother have naturally eaten the dragon liver and phoenix marrow, but the humble position has never even seen it, so they can only rely on their own brains to make the best for the prince and the mother. A table of chicken, duck and fish is bought with the best, freshest and fattest ones. Lord Wang, you said that this dish is called camellia, it is a wild vegetable in the countryside, this morning I saw a lot of in the backyard, when the prince entered the yard, let the little ones pick a handful, wash it with water, and directly pull it in the hot oil pot, and sprinkle some salt. ”
"Only salt? Hongu thinks it's very delicious. ”
Yi Cheng smiled honestly and said happily: "Back to Niangniang's words, this thing is also stained with the word 'fresh', Niangniang is used to eating dragon liver and phoenix marrow, and occasionally tastes the wild vegetables in the field, changing the taste, and it can also be renewed." Therefore the lowly office has the courage to make his own decisions. ”
Wanying 'Gege' smiled, laughing without saying a word. Prince Rong was happy to see Wanying's face, and his heart was also comfortable. Yicheng's words were a little suspicious, but they were also heartfelt, Prince Rong smiled and said: "Yicheng has worked hard, in the wilderness, it is difficult to prepare these for you." ”
Yi Cheng listened to the praise of the prince, his heart blossomed, and he continued to babble: "Prince, the humble post has been in this small post station all his life, and he has never even seen a governor. ”
"Shouldn't it? Your post station is just 200 miles away from the capital, and it is also the only way to enter Beijing and return to your hometown. ”
Yi Cheng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Lord Wang, you are a nobleman, I don't know the pickling rules below, a small post station every fifty miles on the official road of the imperial court, a big post station every two hundred miles, it stands to reason that my post station is not close to the capital and just two hundred miles, it should be the regulation of a big post station, when the emperor reigned a few decades ago, it was also a big post station, and the small post station in the first fifty miles of the past ten years has become bigger and bigger, and we are next to them It is gradually declining, and it has become the current situation. ”
