Chapter 10 Red Pepper and Milk Tea
On this day, Shen Minghuang passed by the back garden of Jiang Wang's Mansion and saw Wei Yangyang rowing on the lake alone, she didn't care about the scenery by the lake, she was just practicing her boating skills seriously. It can be seen that she has gradually mastered the essentials, and she can already use the pulp to control the boat and not turn around. Shen Minghuang asked his entourage: "Why is she alone?" What about General Wei? Ren Jiaxu said: "Back to Your Highness, today General Wei went to find General Wang, and Miss Wei came back first." ”
When she came ashore, Shen Minghuang said to her, "You practice very seriously." Wei Yang said: "Yes, my brother promised me that if I can walk on the ground on the ship and kill pirates, he will let me go on the warship!" Shen Minghuang showed a look of disbelief: "Oh? Can you kill pirates too? Wei Yangyang thought to himself: What do you mean I can too? If he weren't the fifth prince, I would have to scold him today!
She raised her arms and showed her clothes to Shen Minghuang, she wore the same clothes as Wei Bingyue every day, today, the brother and sister wore an aqua blue middle coat and a blue coat. She said, "Does Your Highness see that I am dressed the same as my brother?" Take a closer look? ”
Shen Minghuang had already seen Wei Bingyue in the morning, and the brother and sister were indeed dressed exactly the same, but when he heard Wei Yangyang ask, he still looked at it carefully and said, "It's the same." Wei Yangyang lifted the jade pendant tassel on his placket and said, "Your Highness, take a look again!" Shen Minghuang looked at the tassel, which was indeed a little different from Wei Bingyue's, and he said: "The tassel on his body has more blue silk threads and bigger jade beads, right?" ”
Without waiting for Shen Minghuang to ask again, she revealed Suizi's secret and discernment: "Yes, the number of silk threads represents the battles in which she participated. And the size of the beads is divided into five grades, with the beads at the bottom representing one and the beads at the top representing five. If the fifth-class pearl is enough for ten, it is a fourth-class pearl, and if the fourth-class pearl is full of ten, it is a third-class pearl. When she said this, it was the same principle as the abacus beads, so Shen Minghuang didn't wait for her to finish speaking, so he said, "The beads on your body are one hundred and twenty-nine, and the one on your brother is five hundred and twenty-five, right?" Wei Yangyang's eyebrows fluttered happily: "Yes, yes, Your Highness is really fast!" That's it! ”
Shen Minghuang asked suspiciously, "Then what does this number represent?" Wei Yang said: "On behalf of the enemy we killed!" Each enemy is a number, in our Wei family, if anyone has too few beads on their body, they will not have a face! ”
Shen Minghuang knew that the seven generations of the Wei family guarded Haixi Mansion, forcing several neighboring countries around them to dare not come to the border. But he never expected that this fifteen-year-old girl would kill one hundred and twenty-nine enemies, but thinking about the day she first came, she didn't care if she held a human head in her hand, and it must have been a commonplace thing for her to kill enemies.
So Shen Minghuang didn't show surprise, and asked, "What does the blue silk thread represent?" On behalf of him and you, both stationed in the Blue Camp? Wei Yangyang nodded and said, "Yes, my brother has a first-class pearl on his spike and I don't have it, that's because he is the banner master of the Blue Camp Banner." ”
Shen Minghuang said casually: "So that's the case, I really can't see that Miss Wei is still a little Mulan." Wei Yangyang obviously liked the title "Little Mulan", so she smiled and said, "Then I'm not as good as Mulan, but I'll work hard." She is not very humble, apparently because she grew up in the barracks and does not understand the reasons of human feelings. Shen Minghuang had a better impression of her, and said, "It's dark, let's go to dinner, you can practice again." ”
Wei Yangyang only has brothers and no sisters, and she has been surrounded by soldiers since she was a child, so she is not afraid of contact with men. But having dinner with someone like Shen Minghuang was the first time for her. She really had never seen anyone go to such trouble as having to eat a meal, washing their hands three times, and rinsing their mouth twice. And she can't share the table with the prince yet, Shen Minghuang sits at the big table, and she sits at the small table next to the big table. Each dish was tested for poison by the waiter with a silver needle, and then the waiter could only eat it after tasting it, and the dishes could not be clamped casually, what she wanted to eat, she had to say it, and the maids sandwiched it on the plate for her, and the chopsticks could not touch the plate to make a sound. Before Wei Yangyang came, she was specially told by her mother to go out to have a food appearance and not to embarrass the Wei family, so although she was very greedy, she did not eat as usual, but ate slowly.
She felt that she had tried to eat as well as she could, but when she saw Shen Minghuang eating, she thought of her mother's scolding of her, saying that she was eating like she was in a hurry to reincarnate. This person really deserves to be a prince, and he is also Sven for a meal. She had to watch how Shen Minghuang used chopsticks, and then she followed along, but after learning for a while, she suddenly found that the other party's movements were too elegant, and she didn't seem to know how to use chopsticks!
Shen Minghuang saw that she was a little uneasy, and said, "Don't be nervous, just have a light meal." Wei Yangyang asked: "Poop, light meal?" Shen Minghuang nodded: "Well, piracy is rampant, this year has repeatedly offended the provinces of our sea realm, and a while ago I almost rushed into Gusu City to loot, the people were displaced, the land was barren, and there was a shortage of food." In addition, the soldiers from all over the country rushed to help, and it was not easy to raise military rations, so in terms of food, I wronged you. ”
"Is this still called, grievance?" Wei Yangyang pointed to the table of dishes in front of him. Shen Minghuang said: "Hmm. Gusu is the land of fish and rice, and has always been rich in products, if it weren't for the rampant piracy, you should have been entertained with better ones. Wei Yangyang shook his head: "No, this is already very good, I think, the entire Haixi, no, even if you add Houwan County, has not eaten so well." ”
Shen Minghuang put down the dishes and chopsticks, pointed to the newly served braised spring bamboo shoots and said to her: "This is the newly dug bamboo shoots today, you can taste it." The maids listened to him and put it on a plate for Wei Yangyang. Wei Yangyang took a bite and said, "This dish is so fresh." Shen Minghuang said: "This is not a vegetable, it is bamboo shoots, that is, the kind of bamboo you see outside." Wei Yang was shocked: "Bamboo? How is it possible that the bamboo is so hard? Are these leaves of bamboo? ”
Shen Minghuang thought about it and didn't know how to explain it to her, so he had to say: "This is when bamboo is small." He stretched out his hand and compared: "It's only so small." Wei Yangyang felt that this was the most outrageous thing he had ever heard: "Bamboo was so soft when I was a child? Grown up so hard? It's fun. Shen Minghuang introduced her to a few more dishes. Each of them was something she had never heard of in Hercy.
She pointed to the plate of green plums and asked, "What kind of fruit is this?" I've never seen one. Shen Minghuang said: "That's Qingmei, you should have seen it, usually you are in Haixi, have you ever eaten Huamei?" That's it. Wei Yangyang felt that this was even more outrageous than the "bamboo child", she said: "How can it be, that word Mei is completely different from this one!" Shen Minghuang said: "Because this is the origin of green plums, they are all fresh from the trees, and you can't preserve them there, so they are pickled, and after sprinkling salt and sugar, the plums will become very small." ”
Shen Minghuang pointed to the double pepper fish and said to her: "This is made of red pepper from the Western Regions and our Dayang peppercorns, the fish is caught from Taihu Lake, it is very fresh, you can taste it." Wei Yangyang shook his hand: "I, I don't eat spicy things." She refused in person, and although Shen Minghuang was a little displeased, he still explained: "Are you afraid of spicy? I have told the cook to put less spicy food, can you try it? Wei Yangyang had to say: "I can't eat chili peppers, and I can't eat a mouthful." When I eat it, I get a rash all over my body. ”
Shen Minghuang didn't expect such a strange illness, but he thought that there was nothing strange in the world, so he no longer forced her.
When the two of them were about to finish eating, another maid brought a bamboo tube. Shen Minghuang said: "This is milk tea made by boiling Biluochun with milk. You grew up in the North, so you probably like to drink it the most. Wei Yangyang hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I, I can't drink cow's milk." Shen Minghuang was already very dissatisfied and asked, "What will happen if you drink it?" Wei Yang replied: "If you drink it, you will die." ”
This girl, a few days ago, lied and said that she didn't know herself, and today she lied to people that she couldn't eat chili peppers and milk? It's a bit of a clumsy lie. Shen Minghuang has been with their brothers and sisters for a few days, and he knows the habits of their army, and they all gobble up their meals, but today he is pushing back and obstructing, what do you want? Thinking of the scene when I met her in Bibo City again, did you offend her last time? So she won't eat the food she invited?
After Wei Yangyang saw him in the past few days, he just saluted normally, and did not deliberately please him because he was the prince. He knew that the army was respected for his military exploits, he had always been in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and he had never had military exploits, and it was understandable that the daughter of the Wei family would not care about him, but he had never been rejected so much when he was so old, and he was inevitably angry. So he said: "Who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard work, and I want you to eat all the fish and this bucket of milk tea today." Not at all. ”
If he wasn't the prince, Wei Yangyang's fist would have smashed on his head at the moment! But under his gaze, Wei Yangyang could only start drinking milk tea and eating fish.
The next day, outside the city of Gusu, the big camp.
Today's deliberations are over again, and Wei Bingyue is preparing to walk out of the big tent. "General Wei", Shen Minghuang's voice came from behind him. Wei Bingyue turned around and saluted the other party: "Your Highness." ”
Shen Minghuang said: "It seems to be a lot quieter today, why is no one singing?" He asked Wei Yangyang, who followed Wei Bingyue to the barracks every day, but today he didn't see her. The blue camp where Wei Bingyue is stationed can be said to be the loneliest place in the world, and they usually sing for fun to pass the time. When Wei Yangyang came to the Splendid Jiangnan, he couldn't change this habit, and he sang one or two songs every day when he was happy. The sergeants rarely saw a woman when they were fighting, she was cute, and she was the daughter of the guard, so naturally no one stopped her from singing.
Wei Bingyue's heart sank, since the day she came to Gusu, this Fengquan King has targeted her sister everywhere, but when she went back and interrogated Xiao Pomegranate carefully, she didn't know the five princes. Although the emperor has six sons, he has not yet set up a prince, and the military department has always been in charge of King Baiquan, and he is not familiar with King Fengquan. Why did the emperor send him a layman to meddle in the affairs of the military department this time? Perhaps, this is what the emperor means by respecting him?
Wei Bingyue said: "Back to Your Highness, she was sick this morning, so the last general allowed her to stay in King Jiang's Mansion to rest." "Sick?" Shen Minghuang asked, "What disease?" But I had a bad stomach last night? Wei Bingyue said again: "Oh, that's not, she can't eat chili peppers and milk since she was a child, and His Royal Highness entertained her last night, thinking that the dishes were too delicious." The child was greedy, ate a whole double pepper fish head, and drank a bucket of milk tea. At night, I vomited and diarrhea, and my whole body was covered with rashes, and the sun became more and more painful, so I could only stay in the house. ”
Shen Minghuang was shocked: "Is there really such a disease in this world?" Wei Bingyue nodded: "Yes, she will vomit and diarrhea when she drinks cow's milk since she was a child, not only cow's milk, but also human milk. Our family watched her tightly and didn't allow her to eat indiscriminately, so she was fed corn juice. ”
Wei Yangyang didn't lie to himself last night! Listening to Wei Bingyue's description, she didn't tell her brother about forcing her to eat. Shen Minghuang asked a little worriedly: "Then, can you ask for a doctor?" Wei Bingyue said: "Thank you Your Highness for your concern, this is a disease brought by the mother's womb and cannot be cured, so the last general just asked someone to apply anti-itching medicine to her, and told her to stay in the house and not go out." ”
Shen Minghuang thought for a moment and asked, "Then, what can't she eat yet?" Wei Bingyue shook his head: "There should be none, if she touches something she has never eaten, I will let her taste a little bit, and when she is okay the next day, she can eat more." Shen Minghuang nodded.
In the evening, as soon as he returned to King Jiang's mansion, he walked towards the water pavilions where Wei Yang lived. In the hall, Shen Minghuang asked Jiang Tiantian, "Miss Wei, what's wrong?" ”
Huadu Tongjitang Jiang's family, whose medical skills are famous all over the world, have produced sixteen imperial doctors. Jiang Tiantian, the daughter of the Jiang family, has always been Shen Minghuang's personal female medical officer, and at noon Shen Minghuang asked her to rush back to Jiang Wang's Mansion from the military camp outside the city, she also thought that Shen Minghuang was making a big fuss, but after seeing Wei Yangyang, the red rash all over her body also shocked her.
So she raised her head and replied: "Your Highness, Miss Wei, I haven't been able to eat since this morning, and I even vomit when I drink water, and my neck and back are covered with red rashes, and the red rashes are scratched by her. Shen Minghuang was taken aback: "How can this be? Is there a cure? ”
Jiang Tiantian shook her head: "I asked her carefully, the Wei family invited a lot of doctors, but they couldn't be cured, but after a few days, they could slowly drink some soup, fortunately, they brought the anti-itch ointment they had used before when they set off from Haixi Mansion, and they checked it for the symptoms, so they applied it to her, and now they can only wait, and after a few days the rash falls, the poison of the milk tea is cleared, and they can eat, and it will be better slowly." ”
Shen Minghuang asked, "Have you seen such a strange illness before?" Jiang Tiantian said: "I haven't seen it in my humble position, but when my father traveled to the rivers and lakes in his early years, he encountered a case where the county master said that a peasant woman poisoned her husband and killed her husband, and the peasant woman shouted injustice. The father carefully examined it, and the husband's body did not show signs of poisoning. Later, she asked the peasant woman, and the peasant woman said that she just picked up a few peanuts that fell when others were shaving peanuts on the road that day, and she was reluctant to eat them, so she marinated them and gave her husband wine, but she didn't expect her husband to die after eating. Come to think of it, the honey of A and the arsenic of B, there are really people who eat peanuts and will lose their lives, and there are really people who can't eat milk and red peppers. ”
At this time, a panicked voice came from Wei Yangyang's bedroom, and Shen Minghuang said loudly: "What's wrong? Wu Lan, the maid he had sent to Wei Yangyang, hurriedly ran out and said to him, "See Your Highness." He turned his head to Jiang Tiantian and said, "Doctor Jiang, Miss Wei has fainted, please take a look." ”
Shen Minghuang was shocked and said to Jiang Tiantian: "You hurry up and take a look, no matter what medicine you use, you must save her." When Jiang Tiantian pushed the door and walked in, he saw Wei Yangyang lying in the maid's arms with a pale face through the door of the bedroom. However, there was a difference between men and women, and he could not go into the bedroom to visit, but could only wait in the hall.
He himself had never been involved in the affairs of the military department, and this time he finally fought for the opportunity to come to Gusu, even if he couldn't increase his experience, he didn't want to offend the Wei family. What's more, Wei Yangyang just offended him without knowing it, even if he felt that she was rude, he really didn't want to ask for someone's life.
In the past few days, he has heard anecdotes about the Wei family discussed by generals from all over the country, and he also knows more or less that since the founding of this dynasty, the Wei family has been all sons, and only Wei Shuping has five concubines, and he has given birth to fifteen sons. And his wife Wei Guo, who has never come out, was almost thirty years old, but unexpectedly became pregnant and gave birth to Wei Yangyang. Wei Shuping was middle-aged and had a daughter, and was the only daughter of the Wei family for more than 100 years, so he went crazy with joy. Everyone in the world is patriarchal, and only the women of the Haixi Wei family are inferior to men. If he dares to say that his daughter is not good, he will not sleep, and he will chase after the other party to kill him.
Shen Minghuang really didn't dare to think that if this Wei Yang died in Gusu, he was afraid that this Wei Yang Ping would never give up, then he would definitely not support himself. After a while, Jiang Tiantian walked out of the bedroom and said, "Fortunately, this Miss Wei just fainted, and she can only drink corn juice for the next few days, and when she doesn't vomit, she can drink some porridge, and she will recover in a few days." Only then did he put his mind at ease and told Jiang Tiantian to take good care of Wei Yangyang.
