Be a sick and weak noble son in Daqin

Riding alone out of Hangu alone can't bring much. What else can someone send to Diqiu on purpose besides the seeds he has emphasized many times before?

Wei Ji looked at his elder nephew with sparkling eyes, his face was flushed with excitement, although the summer has passed, what does it mean to find the watermelon seeds, it means that next summer he will be able to eat iced watermelon with an ice bowl in his arms!

The king of fruits in midsummer is coming, plums, apricots and peaches have to stand aside, and take out a big round watermelon from the cold well water under the scorching sun. Is there anything happier than this?

Prince Xi packed up the slips and saw that his uncle became excited for no reason. He blinked his eyes and asked in a daze, "What's wrong? What's wrong with Qin Guolai?"

"There is nothing wrong, let's go and see what he brought." Wei Ji's mind is full of iced watermelons now, and he can't wait to see watermelon seeds. From the Western Regions to Liyang to Diqiu, these Seeds are so hard-won, and we must take good care of them to be worthy of the hardships on the road.

There must be seeds in the cloth bag. If two pieces of sweet potatoes are really sent from a long distance, even if his elder brother stops him, he must rush to the Qianfu of Prince Liyang with a knife in his hand. You can’t make a joke like this. I don’t know how easy it is to overdo it. Did someone die?

Prince Xi got up and patted the hem of his clothes. The young boy had grown a lot in the past two years. When he frowned, he looked almost carved out of the same mold as Wei Gong. He was more reassuring than Wei Ji, who was an uncle. "It's just a small cloth bag. You'll see it when you eat later. Don't worry."

"I know you have to remember to read these things. Ji'er has never cared so much about my brother. My brother is really sad." Just when the uncle and nephew got up and were about to go out, Wei Gong came over with a cloth bag while sighing, and put Put the things in front of Baby Brother and continue to be sad, "Ji'er's heart turns out that these weird seeds are more important, brother is sad!"

Wei Ji and his eldest nephew looked at each other, let his brother/father sigh beside him, untied the rope on the cloth bag and began to study what was inside.

Duke Wei: ...

The rebellion of my son and my brother breaks my heart.

Fortunately, the cloth bag that was related to the life of Young Master Qian did not disappoint. There were several paper bags inside that contained different things, and their names were written in Western Region characters. Wei Ji didn't know the words on them, but he could guess from the appearance of the seeds. Find out what it is.

The small thing full of seeds in the first paper bag was a grape seed, not only he knew it, but also his eldest nephew. Grapes are not unique to the Western Regions, there are also wild grapes in the Central Plains.

"Book of Songs" has words: June food depression and azulene.

Among them, "Azulene" refers to wild grapes. As early as the Yin and Shang Dynasties thousands of years ago, all kinds of wild grapes have been collected as edible fruits, but they are not very delicious.

The grapes from the Western Regions are the grapes that later generations are used to talking about. It is not sure if they are good or not, but his parcel contains the most popular grape varieties in later generations. If they are mixed together, as long as one plant can grow, future grapes will grow Don't worry anymore.

"Uncle, this is Shu." Prince Xi opened another paper bag, looked at the contents inside and curled his lips. There is no shortage of beans in Weiguo, and they don't need Qin Guo to send things to help him. OK.

Because tofu and other tofu products spread all over the world, soybeans, which were only reluctantly imported by common people who could not survive in the past, had the opportunity to be served on the tables of nobles, and their value doubled in an instant.

Every time Wei Ji tinkers with new things, his brother and their eldest nephew are the first to benefit, so Prince Xi knows a lot of ingredients now, but he is a prince of a country after all, so he can only recognize the general shape and other nuances I can't tell the difference.

"This is not a bean, this is a lentil." Wei Ji picked up two "beans" and looked at them, carefully put them back and said, "It's useless after we planted them, let the courier keep them for two more days, and by the way, put these Take the bag back."

"Is there a difference between lentils and beans?" Prince Xi was a little confused, so the names are so similar, and they should not be much different when they grow up. He said that Weiguo does not lack this kind of thing. Sure enough, my uncle thought so too, Qin Guo It's enough to take care of yourself, you don't need to take things out of your teeth and send them to Weiguo.

"Lent beans are also called croissants, clover, and alfalfa. They are not the same kind of beans we eat." Wei Ji said as he unpacked other paper packages, "Maybe they can be used for horses."

In fact, it’s not maybe, but definitely. The most famous alfalfa among alfalfas is known as the “King of Grass”. When he saw this thing, he didn’t remember it. They don’t have a horse farm in Wei, but Qin is different. The state of Qin started out raising horses, and pastures are very important to them. You must know that the quality of pastures is directly related to the life and death of livestock. Why didn't he think of such a good thing before?

Oh, even if I think about it, I can’t take it out. It can be said that ordinary alfalfa was discovered by accident in the wild. The flowers of alfalfa are very beautiful, and they grow together in large areas. The scenery is very good, so beautiful that he can’t even make up lies.

It’s not too late to find out now, alfalfa can be planted twice in spring and autumn, two months before winter, just when the moisture is good, there are few weeds, and the survival rate is high. Qin is good at raising horses, and there must be research on forage. They saw that in the future, all countries in the world would rush to buy the pasture grass of Qin State.

Seeing the two children unpacking the paper bags with great interest, Duke Wei shrugged his shoulders and sat down next to him. He didn't understand what was so fun about it. Although the things in the Western Regions were rare, they only seemed to be rare. In fact, they were no better than those in the Central Plains. How much better things are.

If you talk about exquisite luxury, you have to look at their Central Plains.

The paper packages in the cloth bag were quickly torn apart. Grapes, pomegranates, walnuts and even tomatoes appeared, but there was no watermelon that Wei Ji was thinking about. Could it be that the watermelon has not spread to the Western Regions yet?

The young man put the paper bag on the table in disappointment, and a big plump watermelon seemed to appear in front of his eyes. Unfortunately, this big watermelon still had wings, wandered around in front of him and then flew away leisurely.

"Uncle, there is still something in the bag." Tai Zixi picked up the cloth bag and looked at it, saw that there was a hidden bag inside, then shook it down with the bottom two corners, but after shaking for a long time, nothing came out.

Duke Wei looked at his son's stupidity with his face propped up, and after a while he said slowly, "The messenger said that Ji'er specially told Ji'er to look for the things inside. In order to prevent them from being lost, they specially sewed several layers into the cloth pocket."

Wei Ji: ...

Can it still be like this?Brother, great sorrow and great joy hurt the body!

The young man handed the bag to the waiter who came with the scissors with a sullen face. He felt his heart beating faster and panicked. He specifically told him to find not only watermelon, but this time it will be watermelon?

When the waiter carefully unwrapped the layers of fabric, the paper bag inside finally revealed the true face of Mount Lu, Prince Xi saw the reaction of his uncle holding his heart and breathing lightly, read a few words and then took the initiative to put The paper bag is opened.

What is this?

The young boy held the paper bag in front of Wei Ji, seeing that the man was so excited that he couldn't speak, afraid that he would accidentally spill the paper bag and take it back.

I don't know why, but he always has the feeling that this food is very delicious. If it is not delicious, the uncle will not be so happy, "Father, let's pull out all the radishes in the palace and plant these."

The scheming prince, who doesn't like carrots, suggested solemnly, clenched his fists to speak righteously, and presented a red heart to his uncle. In order to make their uncle happy, he would rather give up radishes that are very good for his body.

Wei Gong looked at his son with ulterior motives with a smile, and dismissed his proposal with a gentle expression, "These things will be planted by farmers, and they won't take up space in the palace. Xi'er doesn't have to worry."

Prince Xi sighed faintly, put the paper bag in his hand with the other piles, and said to the waiter standing beside him dejectedly, "Pass the meal."

Last time he didn't know what Qin Guo sent over, but this time he knew in advance, even if he could grow something, as long as it was as unpalatable as a radish, he wouldn't even think about entering the palace.

Gaining wisdom by eating a ditch, he is a majestic prince of defending the country, and he will never fall down twice in the same pit, even if the uncle likes it, why is he always at a disadvantage?

Wei Ji finally saw the watermelon seeds he had been thinking about day and night, and he was happy at the moment, and he didn't want to care about where the depression in his nephew's eyes came from. There are many children who hate carrots, but those who don't like watermelons in hot weather It's rare, at least he himself can't resist the temptation of iced watermelon at all.

Now that the season for eating watermelon has passed, when he quietly drops the watermelon seeds, the farmers will think about planting them when next spring comes. No matter what the harvest is, he will be able to eat watermelon in summer.

My brother loves him so much, he must not have the heart to let him watch him but can't eat, yes, that's it.

Wei Ji thought happily, and asked someone to go to his palace to get a box. Except for alfalfa, which can be planted twice in spring and autumn, most of the seeds this time can only be planted in spring. Carefully lose it.

"Put the things there first. It's not too late to look at them tomorrow. Eat well." Duke Wei is in a good mood, and it's not all bad to have a good relationship with Qin. Will make Ji'er happy.

As an older brother, he didn't even know when his little brother was so interested in these seeds. If Ji'er liked it, the Weiguo caravans all over the world could add a task when they were doing business.

It is more convenient for Qin to go to the Western Regions than them, and they can't get in the south. Chu has a vast land and abundant resources, and further south, the barren mountains and mountains are densely covered with miasma, but there are many exotic flowers and plants that have never been discovered. The caravan took them along the way It's not a hassle to come back.

Wei Ji suppressed the joy in his heart, agreed, and ate obediently. When he was full, he was about to go back to sleep, but his brother took out a bamboo tube from his sleeve and handed it over, "The envoy of Qin brought you a letter, Sun Boling I specially named it to you, so I didn’t send it to Wang Xu with the previous ones.”

"Senior brother Sun gave it to me specially?" Wei Ji opened the bamboo tube and poured out the bamboo slips inside. He was taken aback when he saw what was written on it, coughed and couldn't help laughing.

The first sentence that catches the eye: Wei Yang is inhuman!

In just a few words, the resentment in Sun Dajun's heart is clearly expressed, not to mention that the rest of the article is full of complaints. If he didn't know that the two senior brothers have a good relationship, he really thought that there would be another drama of senior brothers fighting each other. up.

After all, it is the tradition of Guigu, so it is not surprising that it really fights, isn't it?
