Minglan's eyes lit up when she heard this, but she didn't answer immediately. Instead, she sat on the ground and held her chin in meditation, and whispered to Xiao Tao for a long time.
In the end, Minglan and Xiaotao reached a consensus that they were tired of eating big fish and meat, and now they just want to eat barbecue.
They have just tasted the taste of grilled fish. For their next meal, they want to taste the taste of grilled bird, and it must be caught by Wei Chen himself.
Birdie?
Seeing Minglan's successful look, the corners of Wei Chen's mouth twitched feebly a few times, and he felt a headache.
However, a man is a true man, and since he promised Minglan and Xiaotao, Wei Chen will not regret it, and he will do it no matter how difficult it is.
Wei Chen called his scholar Yuan An: "Go to your sister Bai Zhi and ask her to find a net for catching birds. Find some rice grains and mix them with sesame oil."
Seeing that Wei Chen was really going to catch the bird, Minglan and Xiaotao became inexplicably excited: "We're here to help too!"
"Okay, come with me to clear the snow."
Wei Chen picked up the big broom on the porch and led the two jumping little girls to the pond in the courtyard.
Beside the pond, a thick layer of snow covers the nearby flowers and plants. There are dozens of golden-scaled red carp in the pond. When feeding the fish, a lot of rice grains and rice residue will always fall out.
In this snow-covered land, when there is nowhere to find food, this is undoubtedly a paradise for birds to inhabit.
At this time, more than a dozen small birds of various colors have fallen on the snow in a radius of several feet, and they are looking for food.
Perhaps because they were used to being pampered in the house, these little birds were not very afraid of people. It wasn't until Wei Chen and the two little birds came close that they started to flutter and fly.
When Minglan saw the birds flying away, she quickly jumped up and wanted to pounce. As a result, the birds landed on the wall not far away and looked at her with their heads tilted, as if they were laughing at her short stature and weakness.
Minglan grinned in anger, but there was nothing she could do about them, so she turned to look at Wei Chen.
Wei Chen said with a smile: "Don't worry, the birds will come down after the arrangements are made."
"Hurry up, hurry up." Minglan pulled Xiao Tao and urged.
Wei Chen smiled, picked up the broom and began to sweep away the snow, sweeping out a clearing about ten feet wide.
At this time, Yuan An arrived with the net, followed by a few people, but it was Bai Zhi, Banxia, Xiaodie and the others, surrounding the pregnant Wei Shuyi.
"Auntie!" Minglan threw herself into Wei Shuyi's arms, nuzzling her and coquettishly.
Wei Shuyi pushed his daughter away and scolded with a straight face: "You are getting more and more courageous, and you dare to light a fire in the courtyard yourself. Do you want to burn down my Qinyun courtyard?"
"My daughter has realized her mistake and will never dare to do it again." Minglan stuck out her tongue and hugged Wei Shu tightly without letting go.
Wei Shu shook her head helplessly. Of course she knew that her daughter was not born to be a peaceful person.
In the past, mother and daughter were in a difficult situation at home, and Minglan was still a little reserved.
Now with Wei Chen's support, Qinyun Courtyard is its own entity in the Sheng family, and its food and clothing expenses are no worse than those of Wei Ruixuan and Lin Qige. Minglan has no burden in her heart, and is carefree all day long, with a smile on her face day by day.
The number is increasing, but the rules are becoming less and less regular.
Feeling the changes in his daughter, Wei Shu didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
At this time, Wei Chen stepped forward to greet him: "Aunt, why are you out here? It's windy outside, be careful to catch a cold."
When Wei Shuyi heard Wei Chen's words of concern, his heart warmed, and he said softly: "It's okay, it's Mother Zhao who said that the fetus in my belly is a bit big, so I need to eat lightly and walk more. It's just right. Listen to Bai Zhi
You said your place is lively, so I will come out and take a look."
"It turns out that it was Mother Zhao who told me."
Wei Chen was stunned when he heard this. Mother Zhao in Youyang was known as a living bodhisattva who was responsible for resuscitating babies and saving lives. In terms of obstetrics and gynecology alone, she was probably more proficient than those doctors outside. She could
It’s not surprising to see that Wei Shu thinks the fetus is too big.
At first, Wei Chen spent a lot of effort to invite this mother Zhao to Yangzhou. Now it seems that he really did the right thing. Wei Shu agreed that the hidden danger of having a difficult pregnancy in the future was easily eliminated.
In fact, having an oversized fetus is not a big deal at all. As long as it is discovered early and follows the doctor's instructions, it can be easily solved.
After Zhao's mother reminded her, although Wei Shuyi immediately followed the instructions, she did not regard it as a matter of life and death.
I'm afraid Wei Shuyi never imagined that what seemed to her like a small problem at this time would ruthlessly take away the lives of her and her unborn child in another time and space.
In order to prevent the crowd from scaring the birds, Wei Shuyi and a group of female envoys stood under the corridor and watched from a distance.
Wei Chen followed the direction of the wind and placed a large net on the open space next to the pond. After installing the net, he tried to pull it, and it quickly flipped over. It was obviously very successful.
Xiaodie came over with a basin of rice soaked in sesame oil, and Minglan and Xiaotao volunteered to sprinkle half of the basin of rice under the net.
After setting up the trap, everyone hid behind the corridor and waited for the bird to fall into the trap.
Seeing no one around, a few of the birds flying in the sky boldly flew down and happily lowered their heads to eat.
Minglan was nervous and excited at the same time. She kept urging Wei Chen: "Pull it, pull it! If you don't pull it, everyone will run away!"
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."
Wei Chen remained unmoved, suppressed his temper, and waited for a long time.
After careful observation of the birds, they saw that the few birds that fell first were not in danger, so they finally fell down one after another and started chirping to grab food.
At this time, Wei Chen gave a loud shout and pulled with both hands, and the big net, which was about ten feet square, was suddenly snapped down.
The frightened birds flapped their wings and tried to escape, but they hit the big net held down by the wind. Only a few lucky ones were able to escape, and the rest were caught in one catch.
The moment the big net was buckled, Ming Lan flew out like a gust of wind, circling around the still turbulent big net: "Catch me, catch me!"
Wei Chen, Wei Shuyi and others also came forward to watch. They counted almost twenty birds, mostly sparrows, but also skylarks, willow warblers, spotted thrushes, etc. Most of them were still alive, and they were frightened.
The ground jumps and jumps.
After catching enough birds, it was natural to start roasting them. This time with Wei Shuyi watching from behind, Minglan didn't dare to find a place to light a fire in the yard anymore. She followed Wei Chen and sent a sack of birds to the kitchen.
.
Not long after, Mrs. Zhang brought all the roasted birds to the table. It smelled delicious. Minglan looked at the table of delicacies infatuatedly, and her saliva almost flowed to the floor.
Wei Shuyi couldn't help but laugh, patted her little head and said softly: "Eat!"
Minglan looked at the golden roasted bird in front of her, with its fat oozing out of it. She swallowed and then handed it to Wei Chen: "Cousin, you have done the most credit today, so you eat first."
"Only when I take you to eat delicious food do you remember that I am your cousin, right?"
Wei Chen smiled and shook his head, without refusing, he took the roasted bird and took a bite. Sure enough, it was salty, delicious, and extremely tender. Wei Chen didn't care about burning it, and ate it happily while taking a deep breath. p>
Seeing Wei Chen start to move, Minglan couldn't wait to eat the delicacies on the plate in front of her. Her hands were full of oil after eating, and she didn't even bother to wipe it off.
"Eat slowly, don't choke." Wei Shuyi sat aside and wiped his daughter's face with a smile.
She wanted to eat lightly, and barbecue was too greasy for her, but seeing Wei Chen and Minglan eating so happily made Wei Shuyi's mood brighter.
Minglan ate until she couldn't eat anymore, then she leaned back comfortably on the chair, bulging her belly and burping with satisfaction.
Wei Shuyi told Xiaodie to take Minglan out to wash up, leaving only Wei Chen talking in the room.
After watching his daughter leave the house, Wei Shuyi slowly withdrew his gaze, looked at Wei Chen, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Chen, Minglan's temper is getting more and more wild. I want to send her to Shou'an Hall for a good upbringing."
