Be a sick and weak noble son in Daqin

Duke Wei put away the bamboo slips, coaxed his precious brother to rest, and then went back to the study. Only a few rolls of bamboo slips could not write many words. He was very curious about how to make sugar that everyone could afford like salt .

Caramel candy is indeed very popular, but only the nobles can afford it. It is rare for ordinary people to have enough to eat, and they will not waste food to make caramel.

After reading a volume of bamboo slips quickly, Duke Wei put the things back on the table, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing when he remembered the expression on his precious brother's serious talk with him just now. It can be made. If the raw materials are sufficient, it is not a problem for caravans to sell them all over the world, but the problem is that the sugar used to make sugar is not so easy to get.

Chu State has Zhejiang which is sweet and delicious. It is rare in Chu State, and even fewer are transported to the Central Plains countries. The nobles of the aristocratic families don’t think it is so rare, but the caravans below know it very well. How hard it is to travel between the nations.

The caravans of the Kingdom of Wei are said to be all over the world, but in fact, more of them are in the Central Plains. They rarely go to remote places like Yan, Chu and Qin. Can't protect the goods on the car.

If you really meet a shameless guy who disguises the army as bandits and comes up to grab things, and then turns his face and refuses to recognize him after the robbery, if you really can't beat him, you can't do anything about him.

However, what is recorded on the bamboo slips is indeed a good method. Rare things are more expensive, and less things can be sold at a higher price. For a wealthy family, money is not important as long as they eat happily.

Before that, let the kid get some out for him to taste. You can't get all the good things to the Qin State. In that case, where will he put his brother's face?

The handsome young man in brocade clothes put away the bamboo slips, yawned and then slowly got up, thinking that there was still something in the palace that could be pretentious for his precious brother, he arranged things in his mind for two days, and then he was satisfied Go back to the dormitory to rest.

The next morning, the sky was dim, and Wei Ji woke up in a daze as usual. Before he could call someone in, Xiao Yi, who heard the noise, appeared in front of him holding a water basin.

The little servant had a somewhat excited expression on his face. He waited on his young master to wash his face and dress, tied up his hair and said impatiently, "My lord, your majesty sent a lot of things over early this morning, saying that your lord is useful."

"I don't want anything." Wei Ji looked over in a daze, arranged his clothes and went out to see what his brother had brought.

In the yard, Xiao Jia was circling around a few sugar canes, not quite sure what they were, the thin and long ones were too soft for a stick and too hard for a rope, could it still be eaten?

The little guard poked the sugarcane root with dirt, and crossed out the possibility of "edible" in his heart. It is so hard and thin, and it must not be eaten with such a shape.

"Xiaojia, take this to the dining room." Wei Ji looked at the sugarcane that was not in good condition, rubbed his head and understood what his brother meant, didn't he just make some sucrose for tasting first, He understands.

These few seem to be a little small, but they are enough for experimentation. Brown sugar seems to be simple to make, but that is just a look. Although he is an ordinary little genius, there is no guarantee that he will succeed the first time.

Xiao Jia blinked, and was shocked when she saw the sticks on the ground, "Master, are these really edible?"

"Yes, but it's a little troublesome." Wei Ji tilted his head and thought for a while. Sugar cane is indeed rare in the Central Plains. It's a bit troublesome to eat this thing directly. It's too much effort to eat it. It's just because there is a beauty from Chu State in the palace. Son, that's why I often prepare some special products from Chu State.

He himself has never eaten this kind of thing before, his brother was afraid that he would accidentally hurt himself when eating, so even he and Prince Xi hadn't touched sugarcane much, his side and the harem are very different, so people around him don't know this What is normal.

Xiaojia easily moved the sugarcane to the dining room, and turned to see their son frowning standing on the edge of the stone mill, looking at the sugarcane sticks placed on the ground, and then at the stone mill used to grind soybeans. I scratched my head and didn't understand what the relationship between the two was.

I originally thought that this thing has soil on its roots. Although it looks weird, it may be edible after peeling off the skin. Now that the young master is standing next to the stone mill, could it be that this thing is ground and eaten?

He understands that the stone grinds the beans. The beans are so small that if you grab them, you will leak them. How can you grind such a big thing?

The little guard watched their son and cook talking in a daze, poked the little partner next to him and asked, "Did the person sent by the king in the morning say how to eat this thing?"

"No, they put down their things and left, saying that the young master knows what this thing should be used for." Xiao Yi sighed quietly, he hadn't been out of the palace very often, it's normal to have little experience, you have been to Qin with the young master Why doesn't the guy know?

Xiaojia: ...

Just because he's been to Qin doesn't mean he's knowledgeable. Besides, Qin doesn't have such a thing.

As usual, the two could quarrel with each other with just a few words. Wei Ji talked to the cook, knowing that the stone mill used to grind soybeans could not be used to grind sugar cane, so he asked them to use the original method to squeeze the sugar cane into juice.

After the Zhejiang was ready, put it in the pot to boil, and they could only decide how long it should be boiled. After all, he had never done this kind of work before.

The cooks are used to their young master's whim from time to time, and they can do whatever they ask them to do. Anyway, every time they listen to the young master's words, the food tastes good, and this time should be no exception.

Wei Ji was very helpless about the confidence that the cooks did not come, touched his nose and then went to have breakfast with his brother, it was still early, the small court meeting had not yet ended, and the side hall was empty and there was no one there.

Hou Zai's servant outside the hall brought up the food table, and saw that his young master had no other orders, so he retreated. Wei Ji found the tea leaves that had been placed here on the shelf next to him, brewed a cup of tea for himself and held it in his hand. , and then walked around to the side of the hall with light steps, trying to appreciate his brother's heroic posture in arguing with the ministers today.

Weiguo is different from other places. They don’t have any serious affairs in the court. It’s his brother Qinzheng who comes to the small court meeting every few days. The previous Wei Jun let alone the small court meeting. .

He grew up with his elder brother. When he was a child, he often hid in the back of the hall to watch the verbal battles. If his brother was in a bad mood, he would end it himself.

Holding the teacup, the young man took a sip, feeling the bitter taste spread on the tip of his tongue, and could not help but squint his eyes and let out a comfortable breath.

In the main hall, Wei Gong propped his face and looked at the two old men below, who kept on talking about trivial matters. He heard the movement behind his ears, and changed his posture to glance to the side. As expected, there were many people behind the curtain. A little guy who joins in the fun.

A smile flashed across Duke Wei's eyes, and he suddenly missed the few years when he first took the throne. During the few years when he took the throne, the palace was not stable, and he didn't feel at ease to put his precious brother there. Unruly people kidnapped him and threatened him.

Normally, he could watch him all the time, but it was outrageous to bring a milk doll during the court meeting, so he came up with a brilliant idea, let his precious brother "listen to the government behind the curtain", and listen to the ministers quarreling in the palace by himself, so that You can see if someone is there just by turning your head, which is much more reassuring than letting other people watch.

Later, the palace stabilized, and the baby brother became more sensible, knowing that he would be distracted by being here, and he would stop coming. It was indeed a bit unexpected for him to sneak over at this moment.

Duke Wei unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, listening to a few old men quarreling, how could he be happy with his younger brother, so he directly announced the end of today's court meeting, and threw the two groups of people who hadn't enjoyed half of the quarrel into the hall, flicked his sleeves and directly leave.

The courtiers hadn't seen their monarch like this for a long time, subconsciously turned their heads to look at the curtain, saw the young man inside who seemed to be eating snacks on a plate, then turned his head, stroked his beard and greeted each of them to leave.

The young master is watching from the side, it's no wonder that your lord is here to listen to the quarrel between two old men.

Their lord looks at Young Master Ji like looking at his eyeballs. Over the years, he has been talked and persuaded to let him take it easy and not be so spoiled, but he just doesn't listen. Fortunately, Prince Xi has a lenient personality, and Young Master Ji He doesn't seem to have any ambitions, otherwise the palace will probably be full of blood and blood in a few decades.

The ministers talked and left in twos and threes, slowly as if they were going out for an outing. The guards outside the palace stood there in good posture, but their eyes were blank and they didn't know where they flew.

After his elder brother got up, Wei Ji hurried back to the side hall, found a cup and filled it with tea, and handed it over graciously, "Brother has worked hard at the meeting, drink some tea to moisten your throat."

"Did you see the zhe that I sent you?" Wei Gong was very grateful for his baby brother's hospitality. Although he was still a little uncomfortable with the bitter tea, he could taste the sweetness in the aftertaste.

"I see, that thing takes up space, just send it to the dining room, why bother to go to my place again?" Wei Ji said half complaining, asked the waiter to bring the food, and then went back and sat down obediently.

Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. His brother refused to drink tea at first, but now he has a tea-tasting posture after being influenced by his ears and eyes. As expected of his brother, he is better than other brothers.

Most of the tea leaves at this time were used as medicinal materials. Not only were there tea trees in the south, but they were also common in Wei and Song countries in the Central Plains, but the output was not as good as that in the south.

Spirits are not very popular in Weiguo, and he doesn't have the time to study them. Although tea leaf stir-frying also requires skill, it's actually not bad compared to spirits. If you don't make wine successfully once, you don't know how much food will be wasted. The tea leaves are ready to drink after the second time he roasted them.

Wei Gong didn't want to drink tea at first, and he didn't think Wei Ji had a good habit of making a cup of tea, because in his eyes, tea soup was no different from medicinal soup. It's medicinal soup.

After finally taking care of my body, I started to keep soup and medicine on my body again. No matter how I look at it, I feel unlucky, but my baby brother likes it. What can he do? Of course, drink with him.

Duke Wei sighed helplessly, and asked someone to wake up the sleepy Wei Xi, and then signaled that it was time to start eating.

Wei Ji watched his elder brother start chopsticks without saying a word, hesitated for a while and asked, "Wait no more for Xi'er?"

"He sleeps too much, who is to blame for not being able to eat in time?" Wei Gong didn't think he was wrong at all, he didn't arrange much homework for that boy, so he couldn't stay up half the night to finish his studies, so it's reasonable for him to sleep all day long?

"Okay." Wei Ji looked at the height of the sun outside, and couldn't plead for his elder nephew anymore. He was weak since he was a child, and he rarely slept until dawn except for illness, so he never had the same relationship as his elder nephew. Energy, it's better not to talk at the moment.

When the little prince took care of himself, the two brothers in the palace had almost eaten. Wei Gong wiped the corners of his mouth clean, looked at his son who moved over from the corner and smiled, "It's free today, father is going to take your little one. Uncle is going out for a walk, Xi'er gets up late, so let's have a good meal at home."

Prince Xi:! ! !

"Why didn't you say anything about going out yesterday?" Prince Xi was in a hurry, and would rather go out together without eating, but this idea was suppressed by his father and uncle, and in the end he could only hold the bowl and chopsticks and watch them go away miserably .

His prince is really miserable. Other princes can do whatever they want, and he has to be bullied by his own father at home. Is there any justice in this world?

Prince Xi was dejectedly biting the meatloaf. It tasted good and he took a big bite. His father only bullied children because of his age, and he would definitely bully him back when he grows up.

The little boy looked fiercely at the meat sauce on the plate, his mind was full of how to torment their father, anyway, he was a filial and good boy, and everything he did was for the good of his father.

The first step in revenge is to have someone wake him up every morning, and no one will stop him.

The second step of revenge is to dig out all the books such as "Shangshu" and "Zhouli" from the study room, and write an article after reading each article. You must write one article, and you will not be allowed to go out if you can't finish it.

The third step of revenge, uh... I haven't remembered it yet, I will add it when I think about it.

The sky is clear and the weather is clear, the wind is breezy, Duke Wei arranged the affairs in the palace, and then took his precious brother out to play outside the palace. how to do it.

Wei Ji listened in amazement to his elder brother's story about where in the city lived a great talent who lived in seclusion, and which one lived in the emperor's hills to raise his status and wait for other countries to invite him. He only felt that it was a pity for his elder brother to be a conservative monarch.

"Don't think about it, you can torment the state of Qin, but the state of Wei can't stand it." Duke Wei raised his hand to block the increasingly intense sunlight, rubbed his baby brother's head twice with the other hand, and said casually, "Your brother, I don't have any big ambitions in this life. I'm satisfied to see the Qin State destroy the Wei State next door."

Wei Ji: ...

Doesn't that count as a big ambition?

The young man looked at his elder brother with an indescribable expression on his face, and saw that the bicycle frame was parked on a familiar street, muttered a few words in a low voice and returned to his usual appearance in the blink of an eye.

Wei Gong's reaction to him was just to smile, and when the frame stopped, he stepped on the stool and asked someone to knock on the door, while he just waited behind.

He knows what the old man Wang Xu is capable of, and he also knows how capable the apprentices taught by this old man are. A Pang Juan can make King Wei laugh and feel that Wei Guo can always dominate the Central Plains. Sun Bin and Wei Yang go to Qin State together, even if Qin is now If the country is weak, two-on-one can always get back some benefits, right?

Wei Yang's heart is high, and the small land of Wei State can't accommodate him. If Wei State can reuse him, Gong Shucuo won't die with hatred. Now that the man has gone to Qin State, I don't know if the old uncle can do it underground. Sleep well.

"Brother, what are you doing here today?" Wei Ji asked in a low voice, seeing his brother's gentle smile and feeling a little trembling in his heart, although Mr. Guigu had been persuaded to go to Qin State with him, it is hard to guarantee that the old man will change his mind and stay.

"Don't worry, brother, I wish he could stay in Qin with his apprentice forever." Duke Wei was in a good mood looking at the closed wooden door. Not many people knew about Wang Xu's stay in Diqiu, but the kings of all countries always got something. The way of news, the gates of Diqiu seem to be open in all directions, and it is not difficult for people to come and go wanting to know what to do.

This old man became famous more than ten years ago, and when all the princes of the world wanted to get him, he suddenly lived in seclusion. It is really loved and hated by people, but there is nothing they can do about him.

The country of Wei has a lot of talents, and almost all the countries in the world have Wei people as officials. He, the king, sees it, and always feels that they are at a disadvantage in this matter. So many people go to other countries to be officials, dragging their families with them. What should we do if there are fewer defenders in the future?

That old man is good, not only watching him worry, but also holding back his energy to select good talents to teach in Weiguo, just teach, ordinary scholars can benefit all people in their Weiguo, but he can teach them well. The students in the school all went to neighboring countries, which is a bit too much.

The more Wei Gong thought about it, the more angry he became, unconsciously showing some emotion on his face, Wei Ji looked at his brother in fear, fearing that the two of them would fight directly when Mr. Wang Xu came out later.

"Why are you nervous? It's just a visit, not a war." Wei Gong was looked at a little helplessly, and the guard opened the door for others to guard outside. He only brought his precious brother in, "Ten years If you want to drive him out, you should have done it long ago, and you will never wait until this time."

"Your Majesty welcomes you when you arrive. This old man is very polite." As he spoke, Mr. Guigu, who didn't even comb his hair, saluted in a serious manner. It's just that this politeness is matched with his messy hair. Look how funny.

"Get up, sir, Wei Bushi came here uninvited, and please don't blame me, sir." Wei Gong raised his eyebrows at his younger brother, and hurried forward to help him up. If he had known that this old man was not serious, it had been more than ten years Who doesn't know who?

The young man looked at these two people in a daze. You are polite and I am humble. Those who didn’t know thought that the two of them fell in love with each other at first sight. The baby-faced young man sitting in the wheelchair touched his nose, waved to Wei Ji who was a little stupefied, and then He said narrowly, "It's okay now. When Bo Ling lived here with the teacher, the emperor's temper was not so good."

Wei Ji clutched his chest in shock, and asked in disbelief, "The two of them really fought back then?"

Sun Boling nodded silently. Seeing him standing there precariously, he hurriedly pushed the wheelchair closer, fearing that he would fall down and be unable to hold him up later.

The young master Ji was young, so he didn't know that Wei Gong was also very violent back then. When their teacher first moved to Diqiu, he was full of thoughts of making new knowledge in the busy city, and he was in a bad mood when he was disturbed by the monarch. He didn't talk speculatively. Many, if he hadn't stopped him, the house might have been demolished.

Wei Ji looked at his especially hypocritical brother who was smiling, and then at Mr. Guigu who was squinting his eyes and showing his upper body. He opened his mouth and said weakly, "My brother is usually gentle, but when he is angry, he will only throw bamboo slips. Other important things are reluctant to move."

The baby-faced young man smiled back, and just muttered silently in his heart: Mr. Wei can maintain his image in front of you. If you go to the street and ask anyone, you will know that their lord looks gentle and gentle. Without further ado, let the guards smash the scene.

Don't ask him why he knows, because their teacher is almost one of them.

"I feel that the two of them can continue to be so polite, let's go to the side." Wei Ji glanced at the two people who were humble to each other, shook his head and pushed Sun Dajun to talk, "I will leave in half a month at most. Diqiu, can you start preparing, sir?"

"Don't worry, my lord, Boling can leave at any time, and so can the teacher." Sun Boling said softly, if they hadn't waited for Master Lu to finish the new wheelchair, they should have been in Qin by now.

Wei Ji nodded, "I know, that's why Mr. Gongshuju was the one who asked, not you."

Sun Boling: ...

Young master, let's be more tactful, don't be so heartbroken, okay?

On the other side, the two people who were finally willing to stand up and have a good talk breathed a sigh of relief, turned their heads and were polite again. Mr. Wang Xu led them into the room, sat down before the case and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, The old man will leave Diqiu in a few days, and the old man will not come back if Young Master Ji doesn't come back, so you don't have to worry about seeing the troubled person again."

The old man and Young Master Ji left together. If you want to see your younger brother, you have to see the old man. What is more important is up to you, Your Majesty.

Wei Gong twitched the corners of his mouth, resisting the desire to kick the old man out now, sitting opposite him looking very gentle and polite, "Mr. Wei Bushi is really sorry for leaving this time. Qin Gong is very thirsty for talents. People who can be taught are like carp crossing the river, and I think this is exactly what you want in your heart."

The state of Qin is not civilized yet, you old man likes to teach students so much, Mr. Qin must be very happy, so just stay there and don’t come back. My brother has a brother in his heart, and he will definitely go home to have a look in a few days. You are always dragging the family Forget it.

The two looked at each other, coughed twice and pretended that nothing happened just now, and then straightened their expressions and said, "Mr. Guigu's entry into Qin this time will help Qin Da come out of the world's will?"

Wang Xu stroked his beard, without nodding or shaking his head, "My old man is getting old, and you young people will rule the world from now on. It's good for the old man to teach the students if he has nothing to do, and I can't control so much."

He was already half buried in the ground, in the borderlands of the Qin State, how difficult it is to get out of the east, and it is not easy to survive surrounded by powerful enemies. Who can tell what will happen in the future?

Wei Gong lowered his eyes pensively, thinking that Wei Yang's temper is more stubborn than this old man. Ji'er said that Qin Gong is determined to change his ways, and it may not be impossible for these two people to get together, plus the old man rhetoric...

He has nothing to do in his life, he is happy when he sees the Wei country next door being unlucky, the happiness of the monarch of the Wei country is as simple as that.

Wang Xu's old man Sun Boling and Wei Yang, if they can't defeat Pang Juan in three-on-one, Guiguzi will probably be ashamed to face others. I hope Sun Boling can have the ability of his ancestor Sun Wuzi. The Qin army is already sturdy, so it should be able to train A more powerful soldier than Wei Wuzu.

Well, Wei Guo just wait and see!
