Good Life in Qin Dynasty

What Li Jiyang was worried about didn't happen, because the foreigners knew about the power of the Great Wall, but they came here with their cattle and sheep, and exchanged some salt with the army for the winter.

The matter was mentioned in the military newspapers flying over like snowflakes from all over the country. Ying Zheng pinched the military newspaper and asked Qin Anjun who was lying lazily and doing nothing beside him: "Say, do you want to change them? Their cattle and sheep are also Not very fat."

"Change, but don't need cattle and sheep, but war horses." Li Jiyang said directly: "Although our horses are better than theirs, their horses should be the most suitable for their local soil and water, otherwise our war horses have to adapt for a while in the past. In time, their war horses can be used to ride and fight."

"That's right, then you need war horses. What do you want them in the south?" Ying Zheng asked Li Jiyang again: "The ones in the mountains and forests in the east want medicinal materials; the ones in the west don't produce much, so they can only ask for some local specialties. What about it? Didn’t you say that there are so many good things over there?”

"Medicinal materials, spices, um, there are some rare things." Li Jiyang was also worried: "I don't know what good things are in the south, let's see what they give. Anyway, they will be on the market next year, so I will temporarily buy them with them this year." Just change some crystal salt so that they don't starve to death."

Ying Zheng thought about it, and issued the approval to carry it out.

Li Jiyang looked at the piles of memorials in front of him, and still felt it was an eyesore, and he had allocated some to the emperor's younger brother Fusu to deal with, otherwise there would be more!

Compared with Ying Zheng's conscientiousness and looking at his own idleness, he finally felt a little guilty and got up straight away.

Ying Zhengzheng was tired from sitting, and tapped his lower back lightly. It was actually annoying to read these memorials all day long.

Li Jiyang hesitated for a moment, then turned to Ying Zheng's back, and gently helped him lift his shoulders.

Although he was an archaeologist in his previous life, Li Jiyang has never done any heavy work, whether in later life or now!

Not to mention that he has been pampered since he was a child, but he is not very strong.

It's just that he wanted Ying Zheng to relax, so he gave him a hammer and a hammer, and he was very busy.

In fact, Li Jiyang didn't press well, he didn't have a special kneading servant who was comfortable, but such a gentle beating and kneading as if scratching an itch made Ying Zheng feel that there was nothing more relieved than this.

I couldn't help closing my eyes leisurely, enjoying it for a while, feeling the comfort of being kneaded and pressed by my beloved.

It's just that he couldn't bear to make Li Jiyang too tired, so he reached out and held his little paw in a short while: "Okay, I'm comfortable, take a rest."

"You've been looking at so many things for a long time, why are you looking at them endlessly all day?" Li Jiyang complained.

"National affairs never end." Ying Zheng was amused by him.

"Fusu is 19 years old, and the coming-of-age ceremony will be held soon. After wearing the crown, I will find him a wife!" Li Jiyang couldn't wait to grab a coolie to share Yingzheng's affairs.

"Okay, tonight, my mother made a big pot of stew, and when I went to eat later, I just had a discussion with them!" Ying Zheng said: "He should grow up too!"

It's time to take up the country!

Li Jiyang’s favorite food is stewed in a big pot. In fact, Chinese cabbage, green rapeseed, white radish, frozen tofu, pork bones and lean meat are put together, and some seasoning powder and dried chili are added to the stew. Pot dishes.

This is the idea of ​​the cook in Qin Anjun's mansion, because he wants the young master who only comes home once a long time to eat delicious food, but there are so many good things, how can the young master eat them all?

So there was the birth of this big pot of stewing.

The cook wished to throw all good things into it, and finally found that pork bones without any peculiar smell were the most suitable. Lean meat was also pork, and beef and mutton could not be combined with this pile of things.

Later, when Ying Zheng found out about it, he asked the royal chefs to learn this dish as well, but the chefs' skills were very superb, and this dish was improved without much difficulty.

In the evening, I went to Changle Palace. The Changle Palace is now brightly lit, and the family gathered together. Because Yao Jiang's confinement period is not over yet, Li Xin is at home with his wife and children.

"Sit down and have a rest!" Empress Dowager Zhao Ji smiled and ordered: "Hurry up and bring milk tea!"

"No!" The little maid hurriedly went to Zhang Luo.

After a while, dim sum and milk tea came. Now there are all kinds of dim sum, not to mention the Qinhuang Palace, there is even a tea house outside. The dim sum is fresher and more varied!

Li Jiyang drank half a cup of milk tea before he breathed a sigh of relief: "The milk tea here is still delicious!"

"Really?" Ying Zheng also took a sip, but he didn't think it was so delicious!

"What's delicious?" Empress Dowager Zhao Ji couldn't help but smile: "It's just that there is a lot of sugar in it. Fusu likes to drink it, but the two of them have the same taste."

"But it's not sweet, is it?" Ying Zheng looked at his milk tea.

Zhao Ji poured Li Jiyang's pot of milk tea into a cup and gave it to Ying Zheng: "Try it again!" Li Jiyang pouted, he just likes something sweet, milk tea is not sweet, can you still drink it?

Ying Zheng picked it up and took a sip, but never took another sip!

It's really...smooth, soft and sweet!

"I'm coming!" The voice of the Fusu man also came, and after seeing the ceremony, he made a cup of milk tea first: "One more cup!"

Ying Zheng also laughed when he heard it: "No wonder...."

Because what he drank was from the same pot as what Li Jiyang drank, both of which were sweet.

After a while, the empress dowagers of the two palaces also arrived, and everyone saluted before moving to the dining hall.

"Ai's family heard that there is a Shixiang dim sum shop, and the dim sum inside is very special?" The Empress Dowager Huayang asked Li Jiyang specifically: "Is it true?"

"Where did you know that?" Zhao Ji was curious.

"I saw it in the newspaper, and the advertisement said that they make new dim sum every day, and they never sell overnight ones. Ai's family wondered, where did the overnight dim sum go?" I like reading newspapers.

"I went to the eighth dim sum shop two streets away." Li Jiyang replied quickly.

"How do you know?" Empress Dowager Xia Ji was surprised.

"Because the Shixiang dim sum shop and the eighth dim sum shop are in the same family, the eighth dim sum shop is opened by his son, and the ten fragrance dim sum shop is opened by my father, a family!" Li Jiyang explained: "And the Shixiang dim sum shop is leaving Most of them are in the high-end market, which are sold to those big families, and the rest are transferred to the eighth dim sum shop, where there are many common people living, so it is very good to eat fresh dim sum, regardless of whether it is the same day or not. Fresh from the oven."

"Aijia read that there are missing person notices and missing items in the newspapers. Can you really find them?"

"Yes!" Li Jiyang nodded: "It's just that the efficiency is not high. After all, some people are no longer there, or the mountains are high and the roads are far away, so they can't meet each other, so they can only communicate with each other."

After chatting for a while, the empress dowager asked someone to prepare meals.

After a while, a small iron pot was brought up with a stove underneath, and silver frost charcoal was burning in it, the kind without smoke, but the pot on top was always on.

The fragrant food hall is fragrant.

"Wow!" Li Jiyang was drooling.

"I asked someone to put pork belly stew here. Although it has fat, it is delicious with a little oil." The empress dowager first honored the two palace empress dowagers. It is full of soup and very flavorful.

He also gave Ying Zheng and Li Jiyang a piece of meat and bone, and gave the emperor Taidi a piece of pork belly with chopsticks and vegetables.

The whole family sat down to eat together, and continued to chat about gossip. When the meal was finished, they moved to the flower hall. This is a large place with glass on the south side. Because there are many flowers and plants in it, people in Changle Palace call it "" Flower hall".

There are many small trees with fruit in it. The empress dowager likes this kind of fruit tree here, the kind with fruit, which can be picked at will here, and can be eaten after washing.

After chatting for a while, Yingzheng saw that the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager of the two palaces were very happy, so he casually mentioned Fusu's marriage: "I will be crowned next year, what about the marriage?"

When mentioning this matter, the empress dowagers of the two palaces were also worried: "The daughters of each family are good, but I don't know which one is suitable."

As the mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji was even more anxious: "He doesn't like those palace maids either, but I don't think he likes servants or guards?"

Fusu couldn't listen anymore, and explained with black lines on his face: "Mother, I only like women, my elder brother is a special case!"

Li Jiyang smiled: "Then tell me, do you have someone you like?"

Fusu blushed!

Ying Zheng slapped him across the face: "What are you doing? Be like this woman!"

But Li Jiyang was shocked: "There really are!"

Everyone was taken aback, Qiqi asked him: "Whose family's daughter?"

Fu Su curled her lips: "I like him, but he may not necessarily like me!"

"Whose family is it?" Everyone was even more surprised, and there was a girl who the emperor's brother had no confidence?

"It's the niece of General Wang Jian." Fusu said, "Both her parents died, and she has been raised by General Wang Jian. Mrs. Wang is also very kind to her. Like me, she is young and senior. .”

And that girl is not pretentious at all, she is very generous, she does everything in a hurry, and she has the upbringing of everyone's noble daughter.

It's very relaxing to be with her.

Wang Ben grew up with Ying Zheng, and his cousin is indeed worthy of Fusu.

Because General Wang Jian's younger brother was not in good health, he did not join the army. After getting married, the couple died of illness as soon as they had this daughter. He has always taken good care of such a niece for him.

Since she was a child, she was afraid that her niece would be as ill as her younger brother, so this girl learned how to swing a horsewhip without learning how to draw!

Li Jiyang thought that there are records in the official history that Fusu and Wang Jian were related by marriage. It is recorded in Qin Hanzhi that the first emperor did not like Fusu, and Fusu asked his uncle Wang Ben for advice. It can be speculated that his wife or one of his wives was surnamed Wang. , according to the ancient way, the standard name should be Wang.

There is also a saying that it is called Zheng Shi, which cannot be investigated. If it really exists, it is at least one of his wives.

It can be deduced from this that Fusu may have more than one wife!

"Then what, you two will get married in the future, and something goes wrong in your life, what if she beats you?" Li Jiyang imagined, a queen who can't make clothes and can whip a horse....

"She dares!" Fu Su stood up unconvinced: "I can't deal with her!"

Li Jiyang glanced at Yingzheng, and Yingzheng remembered what Li Jiyang had said. With such two people together, it is really easy for the harem to stage full martial arts!

"What nonsense!" Zhao Ji slapped her youngest son on the back of the head: "My daughter-in-law will spend the rest of her life with you after marrying her. You have to love her and spoil her, not to make you get angry and fight with her!"

Fusu covered the back of his head and remained silent.

The empress dowagers of the two palaces did not get used to him this time: "That's right, your mother is right, a woman depends on her husband and son all her life, do you understand?"

"If you don't love her as a husband, who can love her?" The Empress Dowager Huayang said: "Also, no matter what, the position of the main room is the most important. You are the emperor's younger brother, your main room She will be the queen in the future!"

Status determines the influence, and this cannot be explained by casual couples fighting. If the emperor's younger brother and his wife are in a fierce fight, how will outsiders think of the East Palace?

"We don't know how to fight either!" Fusu squatted there depressed.

"There is no smooth sailing in life, and I even quarreled with your elder brother!"

Li Jiyang opened his eyes and told nonsense, he was never angry when he was with Ying Zheng!

"Really?" Fu Su didn't believe it, his elder brother almost spoiled Brother Yang!

"Of course!" Ying Zheng nodded: Brother Yang, you always let me eat vegetables instead of meat!
