The daily life of Jiufu Jin in Qing Dynasty

Roujia and his family of three stayed very carefree in the other courtyard these days. After breakfast in the morning, they took Hongjing out to explore the new world while taking advantage of the coolness. For the little ones, the other courtyard is really It is like a new world.

Everywhere is different from the place where they originally lived. Although it is not as exquisite as the Nine Brothers' Mansion, there is a wildness in the roughness.

After the sun gradually shone, Rou Jia and Jiu A Ge took Hong Jing back to have lunch, one on the left and one on the right, and then took a nice nap.

Of course, all kinds of teas and desserts are indispensable. In fact, Roujia’s favorite drink is lemon tea. Unfortunately, there is no lemon now, so Roujia had to settle for the next best thing and choose honey grapefruit tea.

After the sun had subsided, Roujia and Brother Jiu took Hongjing to go fishing, picking fruits and even riding a horse, touching fish and catching shrimp.

Of course, Roujia and Brother Jiu are very measured. They didn’t really ask Hongjing to go directly to the river to catch fish and shrimps. Instead, they specially asked someone to build a large round basin with a diameter of about three meters. After moving it outside , fill up the water and throw some fish and shrimp into it to let Hongjing feel the fun of touching fish and catching shrimp.

There were so many people watching around, and the water in the big round basin was not too deep, so Rou Jia and Brother Jiu were not worried about any accidents.

Needless to say, it’s delicious at night, let’s go!

Although Hongjing is only over one year old, the parents of Brother Jiu and Roujia have already paid tribute to their sons, the fish and shrimps he touches with his own hands, the fruits he picks with his own hands, and even plucked with his own hands Various vegetables and more.

"Finally, I understand why people say that raising children is good for old age." Rou Jia said that it is really delicious to eat the filial food that her son respects.

But of course, no matter how delicious Hongjing Xiaojing's food is, it's not as delicious as the chicken wings, fish balls, mutton skewers, sausages, etc. on the barbecue grill.

After putting their son to sleep, the couple set up a barbecue grill to enjoy this rare two-person world. You must know that their son gave birth to a dog-nosed son with a very keen sense of smell. If the two of them steal something behind his back, he will smell it out in all likelihood, and then clamor for it.

But today is different, Hongjing has already fallen asleep, they can eat as much as they like, anyway, they have to take a shower and change clothes after eating, and when Hongjing wakes up the next day, all the smells are gone.

Brother Jiu handed the grilled sausage to Rou Jia, and hinted to her: "Master thinks this is wrong, people of our status, are you afraid that no one will take care of you when you get old?"

It is true to say so, but Rou Jia did not believe that Brother Jiu just wanted to say this, so she asked him while taking the sausage: "Then what should I say?"

"Of course it's young couples who have come to keep company." Brother Jiu said naturally, "Think about it, even if the children grow up, even if they don't separate families, they will have their own small families, and they will be able to stay with each other for a long time. Isn't the only one around me the other half of me?"

There is nothing wrong with saying this, but the problem is... "The first half of the sentence is quite reasonable, but the second half of the sentence... who can guarantee that your significant other will live a long life?"

Brother Nine: "..."

Did she curse him or her?

Brother Jiu thought about the lifespan of the men in their Aixinjueluo family... I can't tell whether they will live long or not, because it is slightly uneven, like his emperor Mafa Shunzhi, who was only 24 years old, and The regent Dorgon, who was pulled out by him to flog the corpse after his death, was only 39 years old when he died.

But their great-grandfather Huang Taiji was 52 years old, and their great-grandfather Qing Taizu Nurhachi was 68 years old. At this time, when the average life expectancy of men is 45 years old and women are 50 years old, the men of the Aixinjueluo family To say long life is really long life, to say short life is really short life.

Brother Jiu felt that the lifespan of his ancestors was not of reference value to him, but he felt that he should not die so early, because he didn't look like a short-lived person.

So Brother Jiu, who put the question aside, looked at Rou Jia: "Do you still want to eat the food that Grandpa baked for you?"

Does brother Jiu think that saying this can threaten Rou Jia?

Ha, he succeeded.

Rou Jia, who took the initiative to become good in front of the delicious food, smiled at him, clenched her fist with her right hand and patted his chest lightly like a beckoning cat, saying, "Why are you doing this? I said that just to... well, to inspire you Take good care of your body, and you must live a long life~"

Brother Nine: "..."

When it's leather, it's real leather, and when it's good, it's really good.

No matter how many times Brother Jiu yelled that he doesn't eat this kind of thing, in fact, people who are not blind can tell whether he eats or not, otherwise Roujia wouldn't be so stupid as to repeat Use this trick.

After all, the bridge is not afraid of the old, the most important thing is to accept.

Seeing Brother Jiu obediently go back to grill something, Rou Jia bent her eyes and took a bite of the sausage that had just been baked. In the past, Rou Jia’s favorite was the black pepper sausage. Unfortunately, after passing through, Rou Jia couldn’t find it if she wanted to eat it. to where it is sold.

Fortunately, looking at history can prove that the wisdom of the ancient working people is really endless. Sausage was not a particularly new thing for the Qing Dynasty people, because sausage has a long history in the history of human food, and it is said that it can even be traced back to the Northern and Southern Dynasties. .

So with the wisdom of the predecessors, coupled with the enlightenment of Rou Jia, a descendant, soon, someone made the black pepper sausage that Rou Jia wanted.

Among so many kinds of peppers, Roujia personally thinks that the aroma of black pepper is the most intense. When you bite down, if you happen to bite into black peppercorns, then a strong spicy taste will burst in your mouth immediately, mixed with roasted pepper. The fragrant sausage meat is so delicious that people feel that every bite is enjoyable.

Especially the two spikes on the front and back of the sausage, which Roujia especially likes to eat, but she also knows that it is impossible for the horse to run and not to eat grass, so after eating one spike, Roujia put The remaining tip is left to Brother Nine.

"How is it? How am I treating you?" Rou Jia and Nine Brothers asked for credit.

"Cut." Brother Jiu said disgusted, but this did not prevent him from eating the remaining point into his mouth.

Rou Jia didn't care about his duplicity. After eating two sausages, the oysters on the other side were about to be cooked. Rou Jia picked up the oyster meat with chopped garlic, green onion and millet pepper rings in the shell with chopsticks. Just put it in your mouth.

Although Roujia was scalded after one bite, I have to say that the oysters eaten while they are hot are really fresh, the meat is plump and tender, and it is hard to stop eating with the soul ingredients.

Rou Jia didn’t like to eat oysters before. This was due to her failed “eating” experience. It was probably because the roasting was not cooked enough or the heat was not enough. The food of oysters is very rejected.

Until one day when her parents went out for a walk at night, they packed a few dozen oysters for them. Before eating, she reluctantly said that her greatest filial piety to them was that she could only eat one oyster. In the end...

Mmm, it smells so good.

She was right that she ate the most that night.

Originally, Roujia planned to just sit and wait to eat, but she couldn't help but do it herself. Brush the leeks and potato slices with oil, put them on the grill, and brush the secret chili sauce while roasting. The potato chips brushed with a layer of chili sauce are crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside, and the spicy but not salty chili sauce is delicious.

"Come and taste this fish ball." Brother Jiu ate the grilled leeks that Rou Jia had given him, and then handed the grilled and slightly cooled fish balls in front of her.

The slightly burnt fish balls taste not only springy but also full of burnt aroma. After the rich seafood flavor is mixed with the sweet and spicy sauce, the spicy taste is fresh, fresh but not salty.

After eating and drinking enough, Roujia and Brother Jiu lay on the rocking chairs in the yard. It was indeed scorching hot during the day in June, but it was much cooler at night. The sound of frogs and insects, looking at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, and the countless shining stars scattered around, I just feel that the years are quiet for a while.

After resting enough, Rou Jia and Brother Jiu got up and went back to the house. As for the things in the yard, someone would naturally clean them up. The two of them didn't go back to their room first, but went to see Hongjing first.

Hong Jing, who fell asleep early, should be immersed in a sweet sleep at the moment. No wonder others say that it doesn't matter whether a child is a little devil when he is awake, but he must be a little angel when he is asleep.

Coupled with the presence of the parent/parent filter, Brother Jiu and Rou Jia couldn't help but look at the sleeping little guy's stomach rising and falling due to breathing.

That's right, silly daddy/silly mommy.

This kind of picture is obviously warm, but the warmth is only three seconds, and Rou Jia and Brother Jiu, who still have smirks on their faces, saw Hong Jing, who was sleeping unconsciously, suddenly wrinkled his nose, as if he smelled something good Like something to eat, his little head moved accordingly.

Roujia: "...!!!"

Brother Nine: "...!!!"

Can't be bothered.

Fearing that the smell of barbecue on their bodies could really wake up the sleeping Hongjing (emphasis added), Rou Jia and Brother Jiu got up quickly and slipped away.

"Who is your son's delicious temperament after?" Rou Jia and Brother Jiu dared to speak after they walked out of the room, thinking that this would be in the 21st century, and she would worry every minute that someone could eat it with a single piece of candy. He was cheated.

Looking at Rou Jia who ate the most barbecue just now, Brother Nine: "..."

At this time, is his son not her son?

and also……

"Don't you know who our son is with?" Brother Jiu said with a glance at Rou Jia.

"Oh?" Rou Jia looked at Brother Jiu with a smile and asked, "Who did your son follow?"

Brother Nine said loudly, "Of course I followed my master."

Seeing Brother Jiu say the most cowardly words in the strongest tone, Rou Jia couldn't help laughing immediately: "You recognize counseling quickly."

"What do you mean by admitting counsel? Master, is this called admitting counsel?" Brother Jiu insisted, "This is called a strategic concession."

Roujia: "..."

Hahahahaha This is the first time I've seen someone speak so freshly about admitting counsel.

But Rou Jia didn't argue with Brother Nine, and the two quickly went back to their room to take a shower and change clothes.

After waking up the next day, Roujia and his family of three were eating breakfast while talking about making a small wooden horse for Hongjing. Brother Jiu took Roujia and Hongjing to ride a horse before. Falling in love with this exciting sport, he was not happy when he left with him.

There was no other way, so Roujia had no choice but to coax him, saying that he would find a pony for him to ride when he got back, and that was how he coaxed Hongjing.

Roujia has always kept her word, mainly because she tried to be let off by her parents when she was a child, so she said that when she grows up and becomes a parent, she will definitely not lie to her children.

Later, when Roujia grew up, she gradually understood the difficulties of her parents. It was not that they wanted to break their promises to their children, but that they had to break their promises for their livelihood and life.

But understanding is understanding, Roujia's thinking has not changed, let alone now that she has such ability, she will naturally be able to do what she promised to Hongjing, it would be too difficult for her to do it, but it will be fine if she uses her brain.

It is impossible for the real pony Roujia to be given to Hongjing, not because he cannot afford it, but in other words, he is too small, but the Trojan horse is different and has higher security.

Regarding this, of course Brother Jiu has no objection, let alone a small wooden horse, as long as his son wants, he can make any animal for him to ride.

"I also want someone to make a moving wooden horse." Roujia said.

"Able to move?"

"Yes." Roujia nodded. She wasn't whimsical. In fact, the famous Mr. Wolong in history once invented the means of transportation called the wooden ox and the flowing horse, which can not only carry more than [-] catties of grain, It can even travel dozens of miles a day.

And these two means of transport are made of wood, no need to charge or refuel, just use the principle of leverage to make it move.

Whether the wooden cows and horses in history really existed, and how they were made, Roujia was not quite sure, but she had seen a running wooden horse invented by an uncle, and she explained the general principle to Brother Jiu, and then said: "Do you think such a small Trojan horse can be made?"

Brother Jiu thought about it carefully, and felt that there was no problem. He even designed a chariot, let alone a small wooden horse that can run?but……

"Wouldn't Hongjing be able to ride after it's done?" Brother Jiu thought to himself, their son is still too young.

"Then let it go for now." Roujia said, "The child grows fast, maybe he will be able to ride in a short time."

Brother Jiu thinks about it, and besides, even if his son can't ride for a while, there are still so many children who can ride, so this little wooden horse that can run has been done well.

That's right, brother Jiu is thinking about making money again. After the opening of Ruyi Building, the business is good, but the puzzle shop specializing in selling toys is also doing well. Dolls and puppets are favored by children, not to mention some jigsaw puzzles, nine chains He Huarong Road is even very popular with adults.

Brother Jiu can imagine that once this small wooden horse that can run is made, the business of Puzzle Shop will definitely usher in another boom.

After discussing with Brother Nine, Rou Jia asked someone to go to Si Ye's Mansion. They had already stayed in the other courtyard for several days, why didn't Si Fujin bring Hong Hui and their little Ge Ge over?

In the end, who knew that Zhang Laishu actually brought back bad news after a visit to Si Ye's mansion. Rou Jia was stunned on the spot: "The condition got worse? How is this possible?"

She clearly remembered that Honghui was getting better a few days ago, right?Why is it getting worse now?Moreover, Zhang Laishu's tone was vaguely ominous.

"No, I have to go there." Roujia felt a little nervous because she knew the history, but Brother Jiu knew that children would die easily these days, so she saw that Roujia was going back to the city to go to Si Ye's mansion , He didn't refuse, but said, "Master, let's go with you."

Roujia originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she still said: "Okay, then let's go quickly."

Fortunately, Hongjing is taking a nap at the moment, so there is no need to be afraid that he will not be able to leave. As for whether he will cry or something when he wakes up...

I had no choice but to let Putao and the others coax them first.

On the other side, Siye and Sifujin knew about Zhang Laishu's visit, but they didn't expect that after Zhang Laishu left, Rou Jia and Brother Jiu would come over in person.

"Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law." When Rou Jia and Jiu elder brother saw the appearance of the fourth master and Si Fujin, their hearts suddenly sank. If it wasn't for Honghui's serious condition, how could the two of them have become emaciated? like this?

"I heard from Zhang Laishu, how could this happen? Sister-in-law, Honghui is almost healed a few days ago?" Roujia looked at Sifujin, who couldn't hold back his tears when he heard her asking this. "It was like this at first, but I didn't expect his stomach to feel uncomfortable again that night, and he started to have diarrhea again the next day."

A healthy adult may die if he has more than one diarrhea, let alone Hong Hui who is only eight years old?

Rou Jia followed Sifu Jin to Honghui's room to see him. Although Honghui looked a little pale a few days ago, his face was not as blue as it is now. Just by looking at him, you can tell his condition How bad it is.

"What did the imperial physician say?" Rou Jia asked.

"It is said that the reason has not been found yet." Si Fujin said, "Originally, if you take the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, the situation should get better and better, but who knows that you can't even drink the medicine now."

Thinking of Honghui's vomiting or diarrhea these few days, Sifujin was heartbroken, wishing to suffer for him, she grabbed Roujia's hand and said in a low voice, "The doctor said, if the situation continues to deteriorate like this , Hong Hui, he...he might not be able to hold on."

Hearing Si Fujin's words, even Rou Jia felt uncomfortable, let alone Si Ye?It never occurred to him that just eating a few extra pieces of iced watermelon would kill his child.

"Are there any problems with the medicine and food that Honghui takes?" Roujia couldn't help asking, she knew that she was a bit out of line, but she saw that Honghui was not usually a sick person, even the pox was so serious. He has passed all the dangerous hurdles. How could a mere diarrhea be so serious?

Sifujin knew what Roujia meant, but...she shook her head and said, "The imperial doctor has checked everything, and there is nothing wrong with it."

"No, I'm not talking about poisoning or medicine. I'm asking if the things he eats are clean?" Roujia said, "If Honghui has diarrhea, his intestines and stomach must be very fragile now, it doesn't have to be medicine. Or poison, as long as the food is not completely clean, it is likely to make his condition worse."

This is the only possible reason Rou Jia can think of. The current imperial physician can check whether the food has been poisoned or not, but there is no way to check whether the food is completely clean, right?

Just like the food that Joo Chia ate in the 21st century, if he hadn't looked at it under a microscope, who could guarantee that the food he ate was free of bacteria?

It's just because they are usually healthy and have enough resistance, so for them, the big bacteria are small bacteria, and the small bacteria are supplements. But for the sick Honghui, a little bit of bacteria may kill him. life.

Rou Jia's words stunned Si Fujin, even the fourth master who was outside the screen did not expect that what Rou Jia said was unclean meant this kind of uncleanness, they were not sure if what Rou Jia said was true, but if it was true If this is the case, then they are too hard to guard against.

Because every food has passed through many people from the initial state to when it is made into food and sent to Hong Hui, and these people, Si Ye and Si Fujin, can't guarantee that they are trustworthy.

Let alone food, they couldn't guarantee even water.

so what should I do now?

If what Rou Jia said is true, does it mean that someone in the mansion is attacking Hong Hui?Who is this person?Who is the person who helped him?

Si Fujin turned his head subconsciously, and looked through the screen at the fourth master standing outside the screen, and the fourth master didn't know if he and Si Fujin had a heart-to-heart, and he walked out of the screen in the next second.

He first gave Si Fujin a comforting look, and then said: "I have an unfeeling request here, I hope the ninth brother and the ninth younger siblings can agree."

Rou Jia and Brother Jiu who came out from behind the screen with Fourth Master looked at each other, both of them probably guessed what he wanted to say without Fourth Master opening his mouth. As expected, Fourth Master hoped that Hong Hui could go to their other Hospital for a while.

"Of course there is no problem with this." Brother Jiu said, "Fourth brother, Hong Hui is also my nephew, I naturally hope that he can get better, but if this guess is wrong..."

"...That's probably Honghui's fate." The fourth master was heartbroken when he said this, but he saw that Honghui's condition in the mansion was getting worse day by day, and his health was getting worse day by day. Weak, fourth master can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor now.

Because of Hong Hui's illness, the two imperial physicians stationed at Si Ye's Mansion came and heard Rou Jia's guess and Si Ye's proposal, and after discussing for a while, they also agreed.

So after the two imperial doctors packed up their things, they followed Hong Hui to another hospital outside the city of Jiu Ao, and Si Ye, Si Fujin and their little Ge Ge were also there.

After Hong Hui's incident, even if their daughter is a little princess and is still healthy, Si Fujin dare not let her stay alone in the house.

Little Gege and Honghui are the flesh that fell from Sifujin's body. If Honghui recovers and Xiaogege stays in the mansion but is murdered, it will be heartbreaking for Sifujin as well.

Fourth Master has always been strict with others, and even more strict with himself. If Hong Hui's illness was really a conspiracy, then it would undoubtedly be a slap for Fourth Master, but compared to Hong Hui's recovery, this It's nothing.

Because if this is really the reason for his deterioration, then the chances of him getting better will be much higher.

To know whether Rou Jia's guess is right, it is indeed a way to let Honghui move to their other courtyard, and it doesn't take much time, and the effect can be seen in two days at the latest.

For others, two days may pass quickly, but for Si Ye and Si Fujin, these two days are like years.

Because it is related to Honghui's life and death, the fourth master has not left Brother Jiu's other courtyard for two and a half days, and has been guarding Honghui with Sifujin. When they saw Honghui eating a small bowl of porridge, they didn't With vomiting and diarrhea as before, both the husband and wife couldn't help showing a hint of joy on their faces.

Two days passed, and although Honghui didn't jump up and down immediately, anyone with a discerning eye could see that his condition had improved. When he took the initiative to tell Si Ye and Si Fujin that he was hungry, Si Fujin endured even more. I couldn't help crying with joy.

During this period of time, Honghui suffers from eating everything, and later on he would rather be hungry than open his mouth to eat. Now that he takes the initiative to eat, how can Sifujin not be excited?

"Okay, tell Erniang what Honghui wants to eat, and Erniang will make it for you."

Sifujin hugged Honghui with tears in her eyes. This is her and fourth master's first child, which is of great significance to her and fourth master. But it turned out that because of their carelessness, people who cared They took advantage of it and nearly lost him.

Now that it is lost and recovered, it is a great joy for both Sifujin and Siye.

But happy to happy, Rou Jia on the side reminded rationally: "Sister-in-law Si, Honghui is only suitable to eat some light food now, as for other things he wants to eat, he can only eat after he is fully recovered."

"Yes, yes, your ninth aunt is right." Sifujin came to his senses all of a sudden, and said to Honghui, "Then wait until you are fully recovered, and I will make you whatever you want to eat."

Hong Hui is not a willful child, so he was not unhappy when he heard Si Fujin say that, but stretched out his little finger and said to Si Fujin, "Then let's pull the hook."

"Okay, let's pull the hook." Sifujin hooked Hong Hui's little finger, making an agreement with him.

Seeing this scene, the always serious fourth master couldn't help showing a smile. He reached out and touched Honghui's head, and said, "Didn't you say that the food in Ruyilou is delicious? After you recover, Ah Ma will take you to eat."

"Really?" Hong Hui's eyes lit up, it's not that fourth master treated him badly, but he was always serious, so Hong Hui wanted to get close to him but was also afraid of him.

"Really, so you need to get better soon."

"I will."

After Honghui drank the porridge and fell asleep again, the people left his room. The fourth master turned to Roujia and said, "This time it is really thanks to you, the ninth brother and sister. If you hadn't reminded us, we would have been afraid I don’t know what happened even if I lost Hong Hui.”

"Your fourth brother is right." Sifujin and Roujia are both women, so she doesn't have so many taboos. She reached out to hold her hand and said, "We really don't know how to thank you."

"Don't be like this, sister-in-law." Rou Jia held Si Fujin's hand instead, and then said to the fourth master, "And fourth brother, you don't have to be so polite, just like Jiu brother said, Hong Hui is also my nephew, I How could it be possible to see death without saving it? Just don’t blame me for being troublesome.”

Siye and Sifujin are naturally not to be blamed, although Honghui's situation has improved now, let alone Siye and Sifujin, even Roujia and Jiu elder brother dare not let him go back to live now.

So for the next period of time, Sifujin took Little Gege and Honghui to continue living in Brother Jiu's other courtyard. As for Siye...

"I will go back and find out the truth." Fourth Master assured Si Fujin.
