Sick Man Turns Out to be a General - C280
Because the emperor wanted to have dinner in the mansion, the food of the prefectures’ mansion tonight was very good. Before the meal, there were appetizing turtle soup, and then there were four meat dishes, four vegetable dishes and a cold dish. There were both mountain delicacies and seafood, and fresh wild vegetables from Zhuangzi.
After Li Dehai tried poison, he filled the emperor with a bowl of soup, and then stood beside him, giving him dishes at any time.
Although he had known that the emperor had to go through such a procedure when he was dining outside, Shen Jingli was still surprised by his real experience. Did the emperor really have to go through such a troublesome meal? The emperor drank the soup and ate the bean curd dregs. He felt more comfortable than ever before. When he looked up, he found Shen Jingli standing beside him in a daze, while xun’er and Huaixin stood beside him, salivating at the food on the table, drooling and holding on.
“What are you doing standing? Sit down and eat. ” The emperor reached out to greet them, “xun’er, the emperor’s grandfather will give you meat to eat.”
After playing with the emperor in the afternoon, xun’er was very fond of the emperor. After hearing his words and regardless of Shen Jingli’s advice, he ran to him and pushed his own chair to Li Dehai. Then he pointed to the tender steamed fish and said, “grandfather Huang, xun’er wants to eat fish, the most tender fish.”
The emperor turned back and motioned to Li Dehai. Li Dehai immediately took xun’er’s small bowl and filled him with most of the bowl of rice. The emperor then took a piece of fish, picked a bone and put it in his bowl.
Xun’er immediately grabbed the spoon and dug the fish to eat. While eating, he also pointed to the braised pork ribs in the middle and asked the emperor to clip it to him.
When Shen Jingli saw xun’er commanding the emperor to pick vegetables for himself, he was very skillful. He did not know what to do. He pulled Huaixin’s chair and sat with him in his arms. He first filled him with a small bowl of soup, watched him drink it, and then served him a small half bowl of rice. He put some vegetables in his bowl. Huaixin was very sensible, delicate and sensitive, I can feel that this “grandfather Huang” is a great man, so he didn’t ask Shen Jingli to take food for him, nor did he fight with xun’er, but he ate quietly.
Shen Jingli is also rare quiet, because he has been opposite the scene of granddad’s kindness and grandson filial piety too lazy to speak. I really can’t imagine when the emperor is so grounded? I’m happy to be ordered by xun’er.
The emperor really liked xun’er very much. He was more happy to see xun’er eat his dishes than to finish a big event.
“Full? Would you like another meatball The emperor put a beancurd ball into xun’er’s bowl. In fact, he had many grandchildren. There were at least ten grandchildren. However, he had never eaten with them like ordinary grandchildren, and they never acted like ordinary children.
It’s hard to guess the mood of the emperor. All the children who come out of the royal family are human beings. They know how to observe things at a young age. His children, who respect him, respect him and admire him, just don’t get close to him.
“Grandfather Huang eats it.” Xun’er took a piece of fish to the emperor with a small spoon. “The food cooked by the cook is very delicious. Grandfather Huang eats more. Dad likes this fish best, and xun’er also likes it.”
Good things should be shared. This was taught by Shen Jingli, so xun’er generously picked out his favorite dish folder and asked him to eat more. Shen Jingli thought that the emperor would not eat it. As a result, the emperor ate with gusto and ate supper. The emperor took a fancy to several rocking chairs in their house and asked people to move to the courtyard and sit on the rocking chairs to enjoy the moon.
Shen Jingli was bored to death. He was looking forward to the emperor’s leaving soon. The house would return to normal. He did not see the people in his house. They were all trembling and walking on thin ice, like birds attacked by hawks and falcons.
However, the emperor did not let him go as expected, and asked him to sit by and chat with him.
Chatting with the emperor, if he says something wrong carelessly, he will have to fall to the ground. He cherishes his life and doesn’t want to do such a dangerous thing.
Reluctantly, he moved a stool with a smile on his face and sat beside the emperor.
When the emperor saw him holding a quilt and looking at the distance expectantly, he knew that he was probably thinking about Mu Chen. He was a bit amused. In front of him, he dared to be distracted and think about other things. He was really brave.
“Listen to Zi an, you think movable type printing is your idea. How do you think that printing books in this way will be more labor-saving?”
Hehe, he didn’t think of it, but he copied it. Shen Jingli laughed awkwardly and began to sing with tea. He wondered what kind of statement would the emperor accept? In front of the emperor, he did not dare to show off. If he was careless, he would be finished.
After thinking about it for a long time, Shen Jingli didn’t come up with a good idea. He had to say, “reply to your majesty, I read it from a book left by an old carpenter. With some minor improvements, I have become what I am now.”
It’s not a lie. He did read it from the book, but it wasn’t a book left by an old carpenter. He was very interested in it at the beginning, and compared it with relief printing. Although after the comparison, he was completely uninterested.
The emperor laughed and accepted the saying, “as Zian said, you are indeed a smart child.”Shen Jingli smiles and doesn’t speak. Plagiarism is not smart. After all, wisdom belongs to others.
“What do you think of war?” The emperor asked again.
“It costs money to work hard.” War means death, which means life and death. He has not experienced the war, so he can not say that he understands the cruelty of war. However, he died and left his family and friends, which made them sad and sad. Because he did not forget, he could manage the pain of the reed tongue.
When the emperor tasted this sentence, he heard Shen Jingli say: “but sometimes we have to start a war.”
The emperor meditated for a few seconds, and then suddenly he began to laugh. It’s interesting.
“Li Dehai, go back to the palace.”
He said hello to Shen Jingli and took several bottles of fruit wine. The emperor happily took Li Dehai back to the palace.
On the second day, the emperor proposed to discuss peace.
As soon as the proposal of peace negotiation was put forward, many ministers opposed the proposal. The reason is that their country’s army is gaining momentum and won many battles. They will soon be able to repel all the enemy troops and force the other party to cede their territory to negotiate peace. Why should they bow down to the opposite party at this critical moment? Isn’t it encouraging the other side’s arrogance?
In the court, there were many ministers who opposed peace talks, but some agreed. What they advocated was not to cede land and pay tribute to the enemy country to negotiate peace, but to sign an agreement on peaceful coexistence and friendly exchanges between the two sides. Because of the recent foreign and internal troubles, a lot of manpower and material resources were consumed, leading to the emptiness of the national treasury, which was not suitable for further fighting.
The two sides held their own views and argued endlessly. The emperor listened to their opinions and finally did not make a decision, so he withdrew from the court.
Shen Jingli had no idea what happened in the court. He still worked for three days and had a rest for two days. He took care of several children while taking care of his shop.
Twins grow very fast, especially the active An’an, who has already climbed so fast that she always makes Xu Xiaobao cry and often rides on each other, shouting and shouting to conquer each other.
Every time he saw An’an bully pressing on Xiaobao and shouting that he had won, Shen Jingli couldn’t help thinking that if he grew up, he would be suppressed by Xiaobao in turn, and he would not cry.
At the end of October, the sky was clear. Zhao Wenrui took Xiao Bao to visit Shen Jingli’s house. Xu Yanlin was too busy at this time. Some time ago, he took a group of good bred horses from Zhao Wenrui’s horse farm to the northwest. Therefore, Zhao Wenrui and Xiaobao were left in the family. Although Mrs. Xu asked them to go back to their home, Zhao Wenrui thought that since their family had moved out, they would still not often It’s good to go back, so as not to make his sister-in-law unhappy. Besides, he prefers to go to Shen Jingli’s house rather than go home.
It’s a fine day today. It’s sunny and breezy. Shen Jingli asked him to spread quilts on the cushions, and let some children spread mattresses in the yard and sit on the quilts to play.
“Will they get sunburnt if they are exposed to the sun like this?”
Zhao Wenrui sat on the rocking chair, drinking tea and eating snacks. He watched Shen Jingli painting on the table. “It’s good for the body to bask in the sun more, which can promote calcium absorption.”
Shen Jingli didn’t look up. Yang ningxiu recently wanted to make a distinctive bead curtain and ask him to help with the drawing. Recently, he racked his brains and drew several pictures. They all felt that they were too tacky, so he was revising them.
“Calcium?” Zhao Wenrui was puzzled, but he didn’t ask questions. He was used to saying things that people couldn’t understand from time to time. Although he didn’t understand, he knew that Shen Jingli would not harm people. He had a lot of strange things in his head, but they were all very useful.
“Ma’am means to bask in the sun more, people will be more healthy.” Jinyu will just do the sugar water, “Mrs. Xu, you add ice, don’t drink too much, it’s not good for your health.”
Zhao Wenrui likes to eat frozen sugar water very much. No matter in spring, summer, autumn or winter, when he is interested, he drinks a bowl. However, Shen Jingli says that the weather is cold and eating too much ice is bad for his health, so the weather turns cold. Xu Yanlin forbids him to eat more.
Zhao Wenrui took a big gulp of sugar water, and his teeth trembled, but he felt good in his heart. “Your sweet water is good to drink, especially this taro round, which is elastic, chewy, and has too much to eat.”
Zhao Wenrui ate taro balls. He felt it was very chewy. The cook in his house had learned to do it, but he was not so chewy.
“Drink more if you like.” Shen Jingli drew a picture that he was slightly satisfied with. He also took a break and sat down drinking sugar water.
Several children tired of playing, lying on the quilt to sleep, love worried that they would catch cold, each of them covered with a small quilt.
The little ones were sleeping soundly and snoring. Shen Jingli was drinking sugar water and looking at them with joy.
