Good Life in Qin Dynasty

Yang Feiying, who had cleared her doubts, went back, and Li Jiyang slept happily all night.

The next day, he went to the harem and told Zhao Ji about dim sum.

"It's better to let the empress dowagers of the two palaces take the lead. I'll just be a handyman. For such a matter of reputation, it's better for the elders to come." Zhao Ji now has a young son, and she is devoted to her son. The boss no longer needs her to care about it. The little one was only a few months old, and it was the time when he couldn't live without his mother.

"Okay, I want some dim sum recipes." The first thing Li Jiyang contributed was biscuits, but they were too brittle, and they tasted dross.

It has been changed to moon cakes, but it needs to be baked. There is no oven yet!

After much deliberation, I chose a simple bamboo leaf cake!

It is to mix glutinous rice with rice, steam it, wrap it with bamboo leaves, and press it into a square long strip. You can mix some brown sugar or sesame seeds into it.

It is said that this thing was originally the food that Zhuge Liang brought to the soldiers in Shu when he was marching.

Nutritious and anti-hunger, it can be eaten cold or hot!

The second one is wild vegetables, which can also be eaten cold or hot.

There is another one, which is the unique Roujiamo and Caijiamo in Qin State. In order to let everyone eat well, they are all mixed with vegetables and meat.

The last one is the only jujube cake that Li Jiyang knows.

Speaking of this, it depends on the birthday cake of a fellow villager, and he uses the jujube cake made at home. He only knows how to make the jujube cake, but he can only say that it is up to the Queen Mother and Queen Mother of the Two Palaces to find out.

However, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces was really idle and bored, so she quickly researched it, and chose a cool and cloudy day, took the Queen Mother and the young son in her arms, and went to the Yizheng Hall in a mighty manner.

"The Queen Mother is here!"

"The Queen Mother is here!"

"Young master, please see me!"

After the three servants yelled, the Yizheng Hall was as quiet as a chicken, and Ying Zheng also stood up: "Welcome, young master Xuan will see you!!"

Children who are not yet full moon, see you!

Don't worry, take it with you wherever you go.

Although the queens and queens of the two palaces are not very old, they have a long history. The grandmother of the king, the queen mother can't stand with a child in her arms!

So Yingzheng gave up his left and right sides: on the left sat the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, and on the right sat A Niang and his baby brother.

Li Jiyang who sat closest to him?

Li Jiyang was pushed to the bottom and sat with Gan Lei.

"The Ai family knows that the lord and grandson of the country have not yet ruled in person, and rely on the ministers to manage the Qin State. The Ai family and the queen mother and the queen mother are harem women. They do not interfere with the government affairs. They just see that the sky is long and the night is short. Apart from two meals, Fearing that your lords will be beating drums in their stomachs, I specially made some food, which only represents the little thoughts of the three Ai family members, so this food is called dim sum."

The Empress Dowager Huayang was the one who spoke. The Empress Dowager Xia Ji saw so many people, and it was already a remarkable change for her to be able to sit on top.

Zhao Ji, on the other hand, focused on looking at the eldest son and the younger son, and she was too busy with both sons.

What's more, Zhao Ji couldn't say what the Queen Mother of Huayang said, let alone that kind of momentum.

The Empress Dowager Huayang has gone through four dynasties, what else is she afraid of now?

have nothing left!

That's why she was able to say those words with the aura of a queen mother!

"Thank you, the queen mother of the two palaces, thank you, the queen mother!" What else can the ministers do?I can only thank you.

The Empress Dowager Huayang herself was good-looking, but she was a bit haggard at first, but after being mended by Li Jiyang, even the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes faded a lot.

The Empress Dowager Xia Ji can only be handsome in appearance, but she has a natural gentle temperament, which makes up for her lack of appearance, which makes people feel good.

Since coming back, Li Jiyang has given the two of them good things, but Li Jiyang has pushed most of the benefits to the newborn young master, saying that only when they have the focus of life can they look radiant.

"Everyone, please." The Queen Mother Huayang had said so much, the Queen Mother Xia Ji finally opened her mouth, but she could only say something simple, the Queen Mother Huayang did not talk to her, He even secretly taught Queen Mother Xia Ji what to say.

After all the ministers got up and sat down, Lu Buwei peeked at Zhao Ji several times.

Today's Zhao Ji, because there is no need to live carefully, her mind is broadened, and she has her youngest son by her side, her eldest son has grown into a talent, and her godson is always giving good things to her. Life is much smoother.

Even the empress dowagers of the two palaces are more kind and loving to her, because after all they are not empress dowagers, but empress dowagers.

In addition, Li Jiyang has been taking care of Zhao Ji since the beginning. Zhao Ji drank spiritual spring water when she was pregnant.

Zhao Ji was already beautiful, but now she is in her 30s, which is the time for a mature beauty. In addition, her noble temperament has also been cultivated, and she looks like a mature lady!

But she is the Queen Mother, not something anyone can imagine!

Lu Buwei thought that he had a romantic relationship with her once, seeing Zhao Ji like this, can he not take a second look!

Others couldn't see his expression, so could Ying Zheng, who was sitting in the highest position, not see it?

Also kneeling and sitting cross-legged, Yingzheng's place is a little higher than other places, in order to show the different status of the king and ministers, but this also allows Yingzheng to see Lu Buwei's face more clearly!

Yingzheng was disgusted at the moment!

Li Jiyang has been paying attention to the godmother and A Chang, seeing that Ying coup has changed his face, Li Jiyang follows his gaze, okay!

It's Lu Buwei!

Zhao Ji was coaxing her youngest son with her head down, she didn't glance at Lu Buwei, of course she didn't know, Lu Buwei looked at her so lingeringly!

Li Jiyang is also very angry, what are you doing?What's up with the public teasing?

He is sitting next to Gan Lei, every move, can Gan Lei not know?

So Gan Lei also found out that Lu Buwei was going too far. After thinking for a while, he secretly glanced at an old servant behind him and immediately greeted him quietly. After a while, he brought out a lot of clay pots of sour plum soup from the ice mirror—— — This thing was made by Li Jiyangsu to cool off Yingzheng’s summer heat. It’s not difficult to make. Nowadays, common people’s homes also have this thing outside. Black plums can be grown here, and licorice is also available. Boil water and add some honey and put it in the well. Serve it out after it cools down, and take a sip to cool off the heat!

Of course the palace is put in the ice mirror!

It can not only cool down the room with Bingjian, but also chill the sour plum soup, killing two birds with one stone!

There were people walking back and forth, of course Lu Buwei didn't dare to make any further moves.

But I started thinking about it in my heart....

The actions of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother of the two palaces were reported on the second day, and spread throughout the Qin Kingdom at a flying speed!

Uh, the state of Qin is actually not that big, and rumors spread in several provinces that the Queen Mother is kind and the Queen Mother is virtuous, and dim sum has become popular among the people.

Li Jiyang never kept the method of making dim sum secret, he would tell anyone who asked, and even let people watch how to make dim sum, and he actively gave it a name: Qin Dian!

Compared with eating meat, snacks certainly cannot fill your stomach, but when you are hungry, eat a little, at least you can fight hunger!

When the autumn is clear, Qin Dian has already swept the rest of the vassal states!

Zhou Tianzi is also indispensable, but he can only eat a little millet bowl cake and the like, and he still can't make it if it is a little troublesome.

This is a later story, let's not mention it for the time being.

After the court ended that day, Li Jiyang didn't stay for dinner and asked Ying Zheng to accompany three women and a baby to have a reunion dinner. He followed Gan Lei to Sheren Mansion.

After dinner at Mr.'s house, Li Jiyan followed him to the study and chatted with Li Si, "Sir, this person is very hostile to you most of the time!" Li Jiyang wanted to remind Gan Lei that Li Si should pay attention up.

"If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it; if a person is beautiful in the crowd, the crowd will push it away." Gan Lei said flatly: "Don't mind him."

Sooner or later, he will kill himself!

Well, this is Li Jiyang's understanding, and that's what Gan Lei said.

But then, Gan Lei cast a sidelong glance at Li Jiyang: "And you, you have to learn how to stand tall in the woods without being pushed by the wind"

Li Jiyang was at a loss: "It's none of my business!"

Gan Lei's head buzzed: "Get out! Get out! Get out! Go back and think for yourself!"

Qin Anjun has now become someone who is closer to the lord of the country than he is, but he doesn't realize it!

Is such a guy really the closed disciple of the hermit expert?

Gan Lei not only lit the wax for the mysterious hermit expert: What kind of brats are these!

The next day was a new day, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Li Si proposed something. Li Jiyang didn't go to the Yizheng Hall because he went to the harem to see the baby.

Although the weather is hot, the baby can’t use too much ice. Fortunately, the house is also cool. Most of the palaces in the Warring States period were built very high, so it’s not stuffy. Li Jiyang also suggested that Zhao Ji take him out to bask in the sun once in a while Sun, he can’t say that it can supplement calcium, he only told Zhao Ji that he can be more healthy ^ Li Jiyang was still in the palace at night and was about to leave the palace, but Yingzheng had nothing to do, so he sent him out of the palace , although he can't go out, but he can be sent to the gate of the palace.

Two people were chatting on the road, and the servants followed from a distance, and the guards even cleared the way ahead, guarding left and right, and there were chariots and horses following behind.

"Li Si's performance today is still interesting." Ying Zheng naturally mentioned Li Si.

"What did he invite?" Li Jiyang didn't listen to the government affairs very carefully today, and what Li Si posted was a memorial on bamboo slips. He is not qualified to go to the Palace of Political Affairs after the morning court, so he can only hand in the memorial at the court meeting.

"Maintain the weapons in the army, and take care of the wear and tear." Ying Zheng said: "This is very important. The army has always done it by itself, and it consumes a lot of money."

Li Jiyang nodded: "It should be, in fact, it would be better if the weapons were also released in the court^"

At this time, the general trend is that people who join the army bring their own weapons. This is also a helpless thing. There are so many soldiers, and the country cannot afford such complete equipment. Generally, it is good for officials to be provided by the court. Ordinary people use their own weapons. Buy or build a spear, dagger and other weapons yourself. Bows and arrows are not used, and there are ready-made bows and crossbows in the court.

Moreover, people cherish things in this era. In order to prevent their weapons from rusting, they always use sheep oil, tallow or lard to maintain them. How can we say that tetanus was rare in ancient times? Things are well maintained and clean. , no rust!

Because Li Jiyang's attitude was very casual, Ying Zheng was a little surprised.

Li Jiyang doesn't like Li Si, and now Li Si regards Gan Lei as the biggest obstacle in the way, so his attitude towards him is even colder, not as good as when he first met him!

"You don't like him?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Jiyang suspiciously. The two of them had always talked about everything.

"You think he's nice?" Li Jiyang asked Ying Zheng back.

That small look made Ying Zheng's heart tremble, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "No, I don't think he is good!"

No matter how good it is, in his heart, he is not as good as Li Jiyang!

"That's about the same!" Li Jiyang felt much more at ease.

"It's just that he is talented. You have always been very polite to talented people, why are you so indifferent to him? Did he offend you?" The more Ying Zheng said, the more he felt that this was the case. The attitude can't help but plummet.

The little heart of cherishing talent that was just born is also gone because of this!

Instead, he remembered that Li Si Nai was from Lu Buwei, and he began to feel awkward again.

"That's not true. He looks talented, but his spirit is too high." Li Jiyang pursed his lips: "Those who don't plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a region, and those who don't plan for eternity are not enough to plan for a moment."

What you said is Ying Zheng!
