Zi Chu took a few deep breaths and said, "Help me up." ”

Zhu Xiang helped Zichu up: "Since you can go, why do you lie down." ”

Zi Chu said weakly: "The limbs are weak." ”

Zhu Xiang was speechless: "Then what are you doing when you get up?" Lie back. ”

Zi Chu muttered: "Shame." ”

Zhu Xiangle said: "You are not ashamed now? But it's true that lying down is more humiliating. ”

He crouched down: "Come up." ”

Zichu: "Huh? ”

Zhu Xiang turned his head: "I carry you into the carriage, which is a little more face-saving than being carried into the carriage." When you get home, I'll make you a wheelchair before you go out. ”

"Just go back and rest, you don't need a wheelchair." Zi Chu thought about it, and it was indeed a little more face-saving to be carried on his back than being carried by others, so he lay on Zhu Xiang's back with the support of his servants.

Zhu Xiang can carry a basket of millet, and his back is not a problem. He even felt that Zi Chu was lighter than Gu Zi.

"Ji Weng, you talk slowly, I'll take Xia Tong back to rest first." Zhu Xiang said unceremoniously. Who made the King of Qin not the King of Qin now?

King Qin held Ying Xiaozheng with one hand, and waved his other hand: "You are good to take care of Zi Chu, when Zi Chu is well and take him around, I will be accompanied by Li Mu, Meng Wu and Zheng'er, don't worry about me." ”

"Zheng'er, take care of Ji Weng." Zhu Xiang said.

Ying Xiaozheng hugged King Qin's neck and nodded solemnly: "Uncle don't worry." Father takes good care of his body. ”

Zi Chu had already lost face, and he didn't bother to be reckless, so he said in a weak voice: "Okay." ”

So under the watchful eyes of the local Wuyue nobles who were not qualified to come up at all, Zhu Xiang carried Zichu out of the crowd of onlookers and boarded the carriage in the regretful eyes of the Wuyue nobles.

Zhu Xiang carried Zichu on his back, because there were too many people to greet him, and the dock was blocked. Many people are speculating about who the distinguished guests of the three high-ranking officials of the Qin State came to greet in person this time, and if they want to take the opportunity to show their faces, it is best to find an opportunity to talk.

To carry Zichu out of the crowd, it is better for Zhu Xiang to carry him out in person, so that his face looks a little better.

"Why are you here?" After Zhu Xiang carried Zi Chu to the carriage, he checked Zi Chu's pulse, looked at his eyelids, and frowned, "You didn't tell King Qin that you were seasick?" Seasickness can kill people if it's severe! You don't want to die! ”

Zi Chu saw Zhu Xiang close the carriage door and immediately changed his face, only to understand that Zhu Xiang's "ridicule" just now was because he didn't want King Qin to see Zhu Xiang's complaints.

He immediately explained: "I didn't have the symptoms of seasickness before, but when the weather got hot, I felt a little unwell, and I sat on the boat for too long, so I was a little dizzy, but it was not serious, rest assured." ”

"After I arrived in the Qin Kingdom, when did I reunite with you after a long absence, weren't you sick? The last time you went to Rongdi, you were carried back, and this time you came to Wucheng and you were carried out, how can you reassure me? Zhu Xiang lowered his voice and scolded, "How many times have I said it, your life is gone, what you are pursuing now is gone, you just don't listen to persuasion!" Don't you have a little bit of a count on your body? King Qin asked you to come, so you followed?! ”

Zi Chu smiled bitterly: "It's really just a slight seasickness...... Will you still take the pulse? He quickly changed the subject.

Zhu Xiang's dampness tea was handed to Zi Chu: "After learning some fur, I can barely deal with some simple diseases, so as not to have no first aid when I feel unwell." ”

Zi Chu said: "You can really learn anything." ”

Zhu Xiang scolded: "It is said that a long-term illness becomes a doctor, can you learn a little?" ”

Zichu: "......" failed to change the topic.

He sighed, and while drinking the damp tea, he listened to Zhu Xiang scold him all the way.

If it were to other people, Zi Chu could say a lot of explanations. But for Zhu Xiang, he didn't dare to quibble at all.

King Qin chose him to go out with him, in addition to his identity being the best cover for King Qin, there were also considerations for the succession of the throne.

The worst consequence of King Qin's trip was that he died of illness halfway. Although the crown prince sits in Xianyang and holds the power of supervising the country, the king of Qin is very suspicious and sick, and he still has to prevent him from dying of illness in the distance, and some people fabricate his edict to provoke a struggle for the throne.

The throne of the crown prince pillar must be very secure, but the next two generations of heirs he fancies, Zi Chu and Zheng'er, are not necessarily. Therefore, the king of Qin wanted to keep Zichu by his side, so that when he died unexpectedly, he and the prince Zhu quickly stabilized the situation.

So don't say that Zi Chu really didn't show signs of seasickness before, even if there were, Zi Chu had to lie down and come together.

With Zhu Xiang's intelligence, he could naturally realize this quickly, so Zi Chu had nothing to say. It was indeed he who came with him.

The purpose of the king of Qin to let him travel with him was to further consolidate his inheritance, and if he fell ill, he would put the cart before the horse, and he could have used his illness as an excuse to stay, and the king of Qin would find another way, such as letting Meng Wu or Zhu Xiang take on his role.

When Zhu Xiang scolded him for being thirsty and poured water hard, Zi Chu said, "After drinking some tea, I am already much better." You listen to me, and your voice is full of breath. ”

Zhu Xiang glanced at Zichu: "Zheng'er didn't lose the scale when he went out, you raised it well in Xianyang, and he lost a handful of bones." ”

"First of all, Zhu Xiang, what you said before, you only said the scales when you talked about the little piglets." Zi Chu saw that Zhu Xiang had lost his anger after scolding, and his tone became casual, "Besides, I just couldn't eat a little when I was on the boat, so I lost a little weight." ”

"I collected some non-poisonous mushrooms, and dug up spring bamboo shoots to make you a refreshing appetizer." Zhu Xiang observed through his shallow medical knowledge that Zi Chu should be seasick caused by too much humidity and physical discomfort, first use fresh vegetables to cook with ginger and garlic vinegar to dispel dampness and appetize, as for chili peppers, it depends on whether Zi Chu can withstand it.

"Well, listening to it makes you have an appetite." Zichu complained, "I don't want to eat fish anymore." Jun Shang is fishing every day, and he can catch fish every day. I really smell the fish and I want to throw up. ”

Zhu Xiang said: "It seems that you are seasick, and you eat fish every day, and you lose your appetite after getting tired of eating." Rest assured, no fish are on the table. Do you eat shrimp? ”

Zichu waved his hand vigorously: "I don't want to eat anything in the water." ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Kelp seaweed can still be used for seasoning, which is very delicious. ”

Zi Chu said: "Don't eat anything that smells fishy, and you can do whatever it takes." ”

He rubbed his hands together and complained, "I shouldn't have learned how to cook with you." The fish you caught didn't worry about other people cooking, so I had to watch the chef cook it together. ”

Zhu Xiang's stiff face finally showed a slight smile: "Then your hands are probably pickled in the fish, go back and find you a few bottles of Zheng'er hand and face ointment to wipe it." Why don't you get tired of eating fish every day? ”

Zi Chu looked helpless: "I also want to know the reason." ”

Zhu Xiangqi came and went quickly. When he got out of the carriage, he was no longer angry with Zichu.

He knew Zi Chu's thirst for power, and he knew that Zi Chu was struggling on the thorny road of the King of Qin. Zi Chu took every step of the way to the King of Qin, even if he had gained a great advantage, he was afraid that he would make a mistake and lose everything.

Even compared with Yingzheng in history, Zichu's road to the King of Qin is more difficult.

Therefore, when Zi Chu thinks that he can hold on, even if he will get sick and injured, he will definitely walk on the most "correct" route, if Zhu Xiang is not angry faster, he will already be angry with Zi Chu.

Fortunately, his housekeeper is not like Zichu.

"This courtyard is chic." As soon as Zichu entered the courtyard where he lived, he liked it.

"Only Sue ...... Only in the vicinity of Wucheng can there be such a view. Zhu Xiang introduced, "The small bridge is flowing water, the white walls and green tiles, and the green bamboo is verdant, is it very comfortable to look at?" ”

Zhu Xiang's "decorated" small courtyard uses some framing techniques of Suzhou gardens that he has seen in later generations, and the emphasis is on a small and chic, using many plants that are only available in the south, giving the Qin King from the Qin State a little "exotic shock".

Zichu's aesthetics are not much different from those of the old Qin King. Zi Chu is satisfied, and the old King Qin will definitely be satisfied.

Zi Chu pulled the bushes and said with a smile: "I knew that you would definitely grow vegetables on the flat ground in the courtyard." ”

Zhu Xiang helped Zichu and said, "That's." These vegetables I grow can also be regarded as rare plants, and they can be eaten and picked at any time, no fresher than the vegetables shipped from other villages? You rest first, and when you can walk on your own, I'll introduce you. ”

Zichu said: "Okay." ”

The water had already been boiled, and Zhu Xiang ordered someone to serve Zi Chu to take a bath, and he rolled up his sleeves to make some porridge for Zi Chu to cushion his stomach.

Zhu Xiang rummaged through the ingredients in the kitchen and found that the person who sent the bamboo shoots this time actually picked a cherished wild mushroom - bamboo sunflower.

It looks like a white plastic net, and it is a valuable fungus that grows in bamboo forests and has a delicious taste. When Zhu Xiang ate Bamboo Sun in later generations, he generally drank the cucumber soup directly to bring the delicious and light taste of Bamboo Sun to the extreme.

There are no cucumbers (i.e., custarks) here, so Zhu Xiang thought about it, hung a broth with a pigeon, added bamboo sunflower and bamboo shoots and stewed until soft and rotten, and then took out the pigeon.

Zhu Xiang put on cotton gloves scalded with boiling water, tore off the pigeon meat, and cut it into minced meat.

He strained out the pigeon soup again, picked out the bamboo shoots and bamboo shoots that were still intact inside, washed them and chopped them.

After that, Zhu Xiang took out the casserole, put the pigeon minced meat, chopped bamboo sunflower and bamboo shoots into it, poured in the filtered pigeon soup, grabbed two handfuls of rice, covered the lid and simmered over low heat.

When the crockpot porridge boiled, Zhu Xiang put salt in it while stirring clockwise to prevent the porridge from simmering.

When Zichu came out of the bath, the crockpot porridge had already been boiled.

Zhu Xiang took out a handful of green vegetables from the jar and shredded them, mixed them with a few drops of sesame oil and chili oil, and brought them out with the crockpot porridge.

As soon as Zi Chu, who had lost his appetite, smelled the smell of crockpot porridge, he realized that he was not really losing his appetite, but he hadn't eaten anything delicious for a long time.

"This pickle tastes different than the pickle you sent me." Zichu didn't pay attention to food or sleep in front of his friends, and said while drinking porridge with kimchi.

Zhu Xiang introduced: "What I sent you is dried pickles, this is kimchi, although they are all salted, the pickling methods are different, and the taste is naturally different." I put ginger, chili pepper, and pepper in this pickle, and I took it out and ate it after soaking it for a few days. ”

Zi Chu said: "No wonder the tip of the tongue is a little numb." This red oil does not have the bitterness of dogwood oil, is it the chili oil you are talking about? ”

Zhu Xiang said: "If you can't get used to eating chili peppers, I'll change a stack for you." ”

Zichu protected the kimchi: "I'm used to eating." ”

Zhu Xianghu wondered: "Could it be that the imperial doctor will make you taboo, you haven't eaten spicy food for a long time?" ”

Zi Chu immediately said: "No taboo! ”

Zhu Xiang understood that the imperial doctor must have made Zi Chu jealous.

But just a few drops of chili oil won't get in the way, Zhu Xiang saw that Zichu was eating happily, so he pretended to be deceived.

As long as you can eat, the consequences of eating a few drops of chili oil will not be too serious.

After eating his stomach, Zichu felt that his body finally had strength.

He slept a lot on the boat and couldn't sleep for a while, so he was accompanied by Zhu Xiang while walking, and asked Zhu Xiang about his experience after leaving Xianyang.

Although Zhu Xiang sent a letter back to Xianyang, what could be said in the letter was naturally different from what Zhu Xiang said after the meeting.

For example, Zhu Xiang would not write in detail in the letter that when Zheng'er lost his teeth for the first time, Zhang Ruo, Meng Wu, and Li Mu were almost scared to death.

Zi Chu smiled: "Even Zhang Qing has become your friend?" ”

Zhu Xiang rubbed his nose and said embarrassedly: "It's an elder, not a friend." ”

Zi Chu said: "I read your previous book, and I was obviously not very satisfied with the county guard of Shu County. ”

Zhu Xiang said: "I'm not right about things, Shu County does have many unsatisfactory places, but it is also a fact that Zhang Gong has achieved the ultimate in what he can do." In the past, Shu County needed a county guard like Zhang Gong who could lead troops to fight, and now Shu County needs a county guard like Li Bing who can engage in infrastructure construction and care for the people, and they are not superior or inferior. ”

Zi Chu said: "You lie, you obviously think Li Bing is more powerful." ”

Zhu Xiang said with a smile: "I can only say this after Li Bing repairs the water diversion dam." ”

Zi Chu asked, "This is also a kind of right thing or not right person?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Yes." How can you not eat seafood when you come to the beach, and when you no longer hate the fishy smell, I will take you to eat seafood. Zheng'er especially likes to eat a kind of bug on the beach......"

"Stop!" Zi Chu scolded, "You don't want to take Zheng'er to eat strange things!" ”

Zhu Xiang spread his hands: "Xia Tong, you have to learn politics and eat anything, so that you can grow strong." I think Zheng'er will be able to carry you on your shoulders with one hand if she grows up for a few years. ”

The corners of Zichu's mouth twitched: "What kind of unfilial son is it to carry my father on his shoulder?!" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "When you fled? ”

The corners of Zichu's mouth twitched even more: "I'm going to be carried on the shoulders by Zheng'er to flee, why don't you say that the Qin State is dead?" ”

Zhu Xiang said seriously: "Xia Tong, don't worry, you will definitely not survive the destruction of the Qin State." ”
