Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 272: Crops grown from overseas seeds have matured

Maybe it was because she drank too much medicine, but Murong Jiu didn't feel any swelling in her chest. When she finally stopped taking the medicine, it was already half a month later, and she couldn't breastfeed even if she wanted to.

At the end of the New Year, the palace was decorated with lanterns, hanging peach charms, and writing couplets. Jun Yuyan became extremely busy and made many red lanterns himself. Animal shadow.

Murong Jiu saw a row of twelve zodiac signs hanging under the eaves, not missing any of them.

Jun Yuyan said to her: "This is the first New Year for you and me, and also the first New Year for our family of four. I hope it can leave you with different memories. Although Xiaojin Xiaoyu is young, she can't Just fool them, and when they grow up, they might have to ask their dad what he prepared for the New Year in previous years."

Murong Jiu saw that he was very energetic, at least much more energetic than the previous court, so he let him go.

Unexpectedly, after he finished making the lantern, he carved small animals out of wood. The carvings were two lambs. The carving was very detailed, so he couldn't go very fast.

Needless to say, this must be a New Year gift for the two children, wood carvings of their zodiac signs.

Jun Yuyan said that next year, the Year of the Monkey, he would carve little monkeys for them, and when they were 12 years old, they would have collected all the twelve zodiac animals, and not one of them would be missing.

Murong Jiu laughed and praised him for his thoughtfulness in the gift, and the children would definitely like it very much.

Put yourself in his shoes, if your father carved zodiac wood carvings for you from the year you were born, you would be very happy and cherish it. This represents your father's love.

She didn't expect that on New Year's Eve, not only would the two children have gifts, but she would also have a gift, which was a rabbit carved out of wood, her zodiac sign.

The carving is lifelike, the eyes are lively, there are traces of rubbing on it, and it is very smooth and shiny. I don’t know how long it took for the carving to be completed.

"It was carved before I went to the border. I took it with me to the border and carried it with me day and night. I wanted to bring it back and give it to you personally on New Year's Eve. What I thought at the time was that I must come back before New Year's Eve, little one. The rabbit is a reminder to me. Fortunately, with Ajiu's fire thunder, I was able to come back so early and be with you when you gave birth to your child."

Murong Jiu was so moved that she shed tears. Before going to the border, she and Jun Yuyan met almost day and night. She didn't know when he took the time to carve it, let alone that this little rabbit had such meaning.

Jun Yuyan's kindness to her was always so inadvertent.

Fortunately, she got this little rabbit and let her know the story behind it. Otherwise, wouldn't she have been kept in the dark and not know about him carving the zodiac wood carving for herself?

In that previous life...

Thinking of this, she hammered Jun Yuyan's chest several times.

Jun Yuyan didn't know why, but she had small hands, so even with a little force, it didn't hurt at all when she hit her body. Instead, he asked her if her hand hurt.

"Stop crying. Uncle Zhai said that women should not cry during confinement. It's all my fault for making you cry."

"These are called happy tears. They are sweet and will not affect the body!"

"Are happy tears sweet? Not salty?"

Jun Yuyan seemed to be suddenly filled with curiosity, so he tapped her tears with his fingers to taste them, and then kissed her face as if he couldn't taste them.

I don’t know if I tasted tears in the end.

Murong Jiu was originally a little sad when he thought about the past, but after being manipulated like this, there were no thoughts left in his head, and he was confused and distracted.

The reunion dinner was still served in Qiyun Courtyard, a large table full of Murong Jiu's favorite dishes.

Her body was wrapped tightly by Jun Yuyan, and even the slightest bit of wind could not come in through the cracks in the door. There were many pots of smokeless and odorless silver charcoal in the room, which was as warm as spring.

<divclass="contentadv">It's a pity that although Murong Jiu likes to eat the dishes, they are all very light. I think she started to pay special attention to her diet when she was raising a baby. Now that it's been a month since she gave birth, she still has to pay attention. diet.

None of the dishes on the table contained cornel, pepper or other spices. Fortunately, she was greedy at first, but now she's used to it.

She laughed and said, "I can't eat strong food. Why are you eating these dishes with me? Why don't you let the kitchen make something you like? Are you afraid that I will eat it secretly?"

Divine Doctor Zhai said: "If you see this, how can you not be greedy? I remember when you followed me to the south, your favorite food was the dishes with dogwood added. It was really spicy. There are also those with Western spices added. You also like to eat vegetables, stews and the like. To be honest, old man, I feel greedy when I smell the spice stew, let alone you! But you still have to avoid eating it. After a hundred days of confinement, Once your body and bones are fully nourished, you can eat whatever you want in the future!"

Murong Jiu covered his face and said, "Master still knows me best."

She really wanted to smell the spice stew, it felt like she hadn't smelled it in months.

However, some spices conflict with the medicinal properties. Although she does not drink as much medicine as before, she still eats medicinal food, so she should be careful about her mouth.

General Fu said with a smile: "Xiaojiu, we just want to eat something light. If we eat greasy food during the New Year, we will feel uncomfortable throughout the first month. These dishes are so good, full of color, flavor and flavor. The chefs in your palace are good."

Jun Yuyan said: "If my father-in-law likes it, I will send the cook to my house later."

General Fu immediately waved his hand: "No, no, no, no, these cooks are good and ingenious, so that Xiaojiu's food is different every day. When it comes to our general's house, it will be a waste of the chef's talent. The four of us have never been particular about eating."

After saying that, everyone gave each other gifts first, and then started eating the reunion dinner together with chopsticks.

Firecrackers were roaring outside and the sky was filled with fireworks. Their room was full but extremely warm.

The child was sleeping soundly in the crib, and the table was full of laughter and joy.

This was the happiest year Murong Jiu had ever lived.

On the first day of the new year, the first crop of ripe fruits and vegetables arrived from the glass shed, bringing Murong Jiu the first good news of the new year.

The crops that bloomed that day have finally matured.

"This is a kidney bean, a seed brought back by the fleet when it passed through the Kingdom of Spain!"

Murong Jiu first picked up a palm-length kidney bean from the vegetable basket on the table. It was the most popular vegetable in the basket. Jing Niang said that kidney beans grow the fastest and most, and half of the basket can be picked off one vine.

The reason why Murong Jiu recognized the seeds was because after Shopkeeper Chai got the seeds, he asked someone to draw a picture album and send it to them. It showed the mature appearance of the crops and how to cook them.

"It must be cooked before eating, otherwise it will cause poisoning and abdominal pain."

Jun Yuyan took one and put it under his nose and smelled it. When he pinched it open, he could smell some green leafy vegetables. He asked with a smile: "How does it taste?"

Murong Jiu said happily: "I'll let the cook fry it and try it later!"

Jun Yuyan picked up another fruit: "What is this red one? It's a bit like a persimmon."

"It's called persimmon, a persimmon from Fanbang, and this red-purple-skinned hard fruit called sweet potato. It has a sweet taste when eaten raw, and can also be fried or cooked. This is potato, and it has the same yield as sweet potato. Gao. These are all named by the Dayan people on the sea ships themselves. The overseas names are too long, like birdsong, and they can't remember them."
