The road back(32)

Throughout the winter, all the noise was about autumn and the expectation for next spring.

Jia Xia didn't have Qiu Wei, so he was far worse than the level he had participated in Chun Wei. On the other hand, Yang Geer, Qiu Wei lived up to expectations and came back with a Jie Yuan. Many people said that the emperor was a wise king, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to

That’s three yuan in a row!

The fourth master won three yuan in the first place, and now Brother Yang has also won the first yuan. If Chunwei can take the Huiyuan exam, he will basically win the top prize. This kid is quite modest and never socializes outside.

He only studied with the door closed, and occasionally came out to ask for advice. Lin Ruhai was already at home, and there was also the fourth master here. Because of the Spring Festival, he came more diligently. He often stayed to eat. Lin Yutong followed his previous routine.

I like it, make food for him, not to mention, look at him like that, he still likes to eat. Seeing that he eats well, it is snowing today, and I have to go back very late, seeing that he borrowed it from the fourth master.

There are so few books, but I hold them in my hands so much that I cherish them. I’m afraid I’ll still have to stay up late and study when I go back.

She put the large platter of braised meat and vegetables in a food box and took it back. This thing was put aside. It can be eaten as a snack, and it will not be so watery that it will splash on the book. She gave it to the plate.

There are small toothpicks inside, which is very convenient to eat, and it is not as dry as dried meat.

Brother Yang didn't refuse even a little bit of food and took it home.

Wen Tianfang happened to be there when he got home. He had just arrived for a while. Lin Ruhai was waiting for guests. He just said that he would leave if he was not free, but he didn't want Brother Yang to come back. He didn't have anything important to do, he just came over to take a look and see him.

Seeing these two siblings and seeing them doing well makes me feel relieved. This has become a habit.

When Brother Yang came back, the two uncles had to sit together. By the way, Brother Yang asked someone to boil the wine: "Go and get rid of the cold." After saying that, he rubbed his hands and put them on the charcoal basin: "Seriously, who

Mr. Jia really has some ingenious methods. In the field of investigating things, few people can match him."

Wen Tianfang couldn't help but prick up his ears. He had always paid close attention to this Master Jia.

Brother Yang didn't know that this was something the other party paid special attention to, so he just treated it as gossip and said: "To be honest, if I study, I like to go to their house. Especially in winter, the house is very warm."

There is also a warm place at home, but it is just one or two warm pavilions in a yard. I rest in the warm pavilion at night, but on weekdays I study and read, and I always feel that such a place is not good. The warm pavilions are generally small, and most of them are kangs.

It is upside down and crooked, and does not look like reading at all. In the eyes of today's scholars, reading must look like reading, and it is best to have a straight board. In the study rooms of wealthy families, there are usually two extra pots of fire.

It sounds like it's not cold, but it's not as cold as a house where you can come and go freely just by wearing a thin jacket. No matter what the weather is outside, it's as warm as ever inside. A house with a charcoal pot in it feels like

Not very nice anymore.

If you are a shallow person, you will definitely say that this family lives a luxurious life, especially since it is said that their house is so warm even for the servants. But people like Yang Geer realize that it is not that people live a luxurious life,

It’s people who have the ability to spend a small amount of money to accomplish big things.

Now that I talk about it, I have more praise for the fourth master in my words: "...Farming and mulberry trees are the foundation of the country. He promoted rice in Gyeonggi Province for generations. Many people couldn't bear to offend the old sage, so they kept silent.

But those people secretly thought that this Master Jia was trying to coax the old saint. The success of the one and a half acres of careful cultivation does not mean anything. They have written down the notes one by one. If it were this year

If they want to promote it, how can they refute it? Unexpectedly, they are cautious by nature and only built a farm in the capital to promote this matter. The farm has such a good harvest this year, but there is no indication that it will be promoted on a large scale next year.

I’m afraid I’ll have to try it again. This year there are more greenhouses there, so my brother-in-law will come with me to have a look when I have time..."

While talking, the wine was served.

Warm wine, paired with such a large basin of various kinds of marinated food, is simple but also full of flavor.

Wen Tianfang was about to agree to Brother Yang's words. He was also about to get in touch with Mr. Jia, who was like a stranger from outside the world. However, he didn't want to try to take a bite of braised food. He was stunned and asked directly: "Your sister

made?"

Brother Yang shook his head: "Sister, I'm afraid I've had an early break today, so I won't have time to cook." But he didn't want to tell the Jia family. After all, it was his cousin from the Yu family who cooked it for him. From the perspective of etiquette, he had no time to cook.

He is a cousin and a relative, so there is nothing wrong with eating like this. But the brother-in-law is different. It is best not to mention the female relatives. I will not say it here, and I have no intention of explaining it deliberately.

Wen Tianfang felt uneasy for no reason. He stuffed the braised food into his mouth one by one. It was this familiar taste that was unmistakable. Brother Yang said if it was not made at home, it was bought from outside.

.

So the next day, he asked people all over the capital to buy braised food and come back to try it. He didn't know exactly what he was looking for, but he just felt that he should look for it.

As a result, I could buy half a truckload of braised food before I found one with a very similar taste.

That is the braised meat sold in Yu’s shop. The taste is very similar, almost the same. The remaining differences can also be explained by the fact that the ingredients used at home are good, the seasonings are good, and they are fresher.

.I’m afraid that the ones sold in the shops are not as good as the others.

But the people of the Yu family have come into contact with it themselves, and they come in contact with it often, and they don't find anything different.

His heart became irritable for no reason, and then he thought that she relied on her pickle skills to support her younger brother. She might have learned these pickle recipes and stewed vegetable recipes from somewhere. Maybe this is the Yu family's stewed vegetable recipe.

The origin of the recipe is the same as the recipe she used at that time. It's just that she has been involved in it in this life, so she has almost no contact with it.

Then he started laughing again, not knowing what he was thinking about all day long.

But when I had some free time, I couldn't help but go to Yu's house and look for Yu Liang. When chatting, I started talking about it: "... I ate your braised food once in a while. It tasted very good."

Yu Liang didn't take it seriously, thinking that the words were just polite, so he said: "If you like the skills passed down by the old lady who served us back then, I will send people to deliver them to your house." He didn't mean to do this.

To be honest, he really thought that his sister's craftsmanship was learned from the old grandma back then. Now the grandma who served his sister is gone, and the grandma's uncle buried the person. But he sent a letter, and he called Xue

My shop helped me send money there.

Wen Tianfang also thought that Yu Liang would not tell lies about this kind of thing. Just like that, he missed it again by some strange combination of circumstances.

After coming out of Yu's house and getting on the carriage, he sent the boy over to buy some braised food. To be honest, this was not the only taste he missed.

Coincidentally, Shao Hua is about to give birth in the twelfth lunar month, and Lin Yutong has been going back to her parents' house almost every day recently, but she can't rest assured when she comes to have a look. Brother Yi was picked up by Lin Yutong, with a big belly and a kid who knew how to run around.

You don't need to ask to know how hard it is. It was the same today. She came in a carriage and just turned the corner. The curtain on the carriage moved. She looked out through the gap and saw Wen Tianfang's boy smiling from the braised food shop.

When she came out, she felt a slight thump in her heart. She didn't know whether it was because the boy wanted to eat it himself, or because Wen Tianfang had discovered something. She moved to the side, opened the curtain, and looked outside secretly. She saw that the boy was holding his hand.

Something was passed through the window of the carriage parked on the roadside. The curtains of the window were lifted, revealing Wen Tianfang's young and excessive face.

Wen Tianfang looked over as if he was feeling something. The two of them looked at each other for a moment, nodded to each other, and then moved away from each other.

Lin Yutong sighed, with a complicated look on his face. He knew in his heart that it was probably because of Brother Yang's braised dish.

But this man's stomach can remember the taste. He has met him three times, but he really can't recognize him.

But despite this, Lin Yutong still felt that in the future it would be better to take things out of the house and give them away less often. It was already like this, and it would be better not to recognize it than to recognize it. If you don't recognize it, this is the destiny of the two of them in this life.

Lin Yutong was so quiet about this matter that she didn't dare to let Fourth Master know that she almost made a mistake. After a few days, Wen Tianfang didn't come to test her. She thought, maybe she was overthinking it.

It doesn't relate to myself at all.

Okay! We can’t even let Fourth Master know about this.

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Shao Hua took action and gave birth to her and Yu Liang's second son, who was named Yu Zeyu.

They have two sons, which made Wang Xifeng's eyes turn red with envy: "You said this is the same for the wife who gave birth to a child. Doesn't this mean that the drought will kill the drought and the flood will die?"

Then he sighed to Lin Yutong: "In my whole life, there is no place where I am not better than others. Only this heir, why is it so difficult?"

Lin Yutong said: "Accumulate more virtue..."

"What a shame for you, are you trying to bully me with such unworthy words?" She laughed, "You sound exactly like the bastards from Qingxu Guan."

"Hurry up and shut up." Lin Yutong glared at her: "You just want to be happy with your mouth, why don't you think about how your baby bump became what it is now? How did the good-looking Baoyu lose its spirituality?

Yes? And that Ma Daopo, do you think those are all fake tricks? You must be a little in awe!"

Wang Xifeng stopped talking. After returning, she couldn't help but think about Lin Yutong's words and murmured in her heart. The wife also worshiped the Bodhisattva all day long, but she didn't see the Bodhisattva appear to bless the empress and Baoyu.

She said this to Jia Lian, and Jia Lian said to her: "What kind of sutra is your aunt reciting? There are so many gods and Buddhas in the sky that she can't tell what is true and what is false. She treats Bodhisattva with false intentions, and still expects Bodhisattva to protect her?"

"

"Quickly silence yourself." Wang Xifeng glanced at him: "I was so angry when I saw someone else giving birth to a baby. What do you think...should we..."

"A second wife? As long as you are happy with it, I will be happy with it." This is what Jia Lian really thinks Wang Xifeng means.

After saying this, he didn't see the other person speaking. He turned his face and looked over, and saw that his face was pink and frosty, and he was very angry.

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "I'm kidding you, why are you still angry? All the children are legitimate sons. It makes no sense for me to have one born from my aunt's belly. Let's not talk about others, let's talk about Baoyu and Brother Huan. One is a legitimate son, and the other is a legitimate son.

It's like the heaven has gone down to the earth. Even Baoyu is now a hundred times better than Brother Huan. I'm not stupid. Why don't I understand this? I won't talk about these small details, but I will only talk about the future title. Your Majesty

They all value their legitimate son so much, and I'm afraid that without a legitimate son to inherit the title, the title will not be passed down." He said this. He was trying to coax Wang Xifeng, but he didn't want to be convinced by himself. When he thought about it, it seemed that it was really possible. He couldn't help but think about it.

He brought it up: "We don't have a son, so it's still unknown whether the master can give us this title."

Seeing that he was serious, Wang Xifeng seemed a little anxious, so she took it seriously. But who was she, so that she could easily blame herself for not having a son? She immediately cried: "If you were at home wholeheartedly,

, I can’t conceive a son like this. Now that I’ve raised him for so many years, I’ve given up on housework. Could it be my fault that I can’t conceive? You’re out having fun and having some seeds, but I don’t know, they’re all cheap.

Which one? If you come back and do that, you won’t be able to do that. If you can’t do it, you’ll have to rely on the land..."

The more you say it, the more vulgar it becomes.

When Jia Lian was told by Wang Xifeng, he also murmured in his heart: "Is this really the reason?"

He was looking for the Fourth Master because he wanted to use the Fourth Master's name to see the imperial doctor. There were some imperial doctors that the Jia family could hire. There were some imperial doctors that the Jia family simply couldn't get access to. For example, the old sage

Who can hire the royal physician?

The great thing about this imperial doctor is that his patient, the old sage, is now at this age, and there are two young nobles who are pregnant one after another. It is doubtful whether the old sage can still fight with ease now.

You know, but if you can get a woman pregnant, it at least shows that you are a very capable person.

Fourth Master thought he had something serious to do, but it turned out it was for this.

He said: "He lives in the palace all the time, so you won't encounter him when he is free. I have heard him say that you really need to be self-disciplined. You don't need to ask a doctor about this. It's all in the medical books. Just ask any doctor and he will know it."
