After Laba, there are not many festivals in the twelfth lunar month. Every family is preparing for the New Year. The streets are also selling peach charms, peach boards, Zhongkui and door god stickers. kind of stuff.However, the Han family's ancestral house, which was extremely busy in previous years, was condensed and silent this year, and even the people below were walking around a little more lightly, as if they were afraid of disturbing some existence.

Xie Shi woke up in such a strange atmosphere. As soon as he opened his eyes, the whole Han Mansion came to life, and even brought the whole Three Lanes and Seven Alleys back to life.

Nothing to do in winter, free to watch the snow.

On this day, Xie Shi was lying on the imperial concubine's couch under the north window, with a thick cashmere blanket under his body, a brocade quilt covering his body, and a hand warmer just replaced by a servant in his hand. Although his body was warm , the whole person is like a snowman, his face is bloodless, but his expression is exceptionally peaceful, and he is looking at the snow falling outside the window to enjoy the scenery.

Like a lazy domestic civet cat.Han Ning, who was finally allowed to visit Mr. today, thought of it at the first sight.

In the yard outside the window, there are not only graceful plum blossoms blooming on the branches, but more interestingly, the yard is full of various shapes and naive snow lions, and there are also crystal clear snow lanterns hanging on the treetops. , Looking out from the position where Xie Shi was lying down, it can be said to be too beautiful to behold, with all the wonders in sight.

Cen Yu gave Han Ji the idea of ​​making snow lions and hanging palace lanterns in the yard. These were originally necessary viewing items for banquets at home in the winter when dignitaries and aristocrats have nothing to do.In the past, Han Ji was not at all interested in the entertainment among these high-ranking officials, but this time he took Cen Yu's advice and sent skilled craftsmen to pile up various shapes of snow overnight in the courtyard where Xie Shi lived. Lion and Snow Lantern.

At night, there will be clusters of warm yellow light from the snow lanterns. Xie Shi was shocked when he saw it for the first time. It is a pity that no one dared to disobey Han Ji's order and let him go out of the room and look in the yard.Let's put it this way, after a long sleep, when even the bones are limp, Xie Shi will not even be allowed to get out of bed, let alone the act of going out.

Xie Shi jokingly said to Han Ning, who came to visit him together: "I'm like a paralyzed person in bed now, your uncle is too careful, I'm not a three-year-old child, I have to be fed even to drink saliva " What Xie Shi didn't say was that he would feel embarrassed too.

Han Ning, however, acted like a young adult, persuading him sternly: "Mr. is not in good health yet, so I can't be too careful. Mister should listen to what my uncle says."

Han Ning couldn't laugh or cry, what's the matter with the tone of coaxing the three-year-old?Although this is a bit ridiculous, but now everyone treats him like a fragile doll, and it is really uncomfortable to have someone serve him for everything, let alone Han Ji serving him.

Suddenly, Xie Shi became quiet, he listened attentively, and suddenly said: "Brother Ning, listen, is there a kitten meowing outside?"

Han Ning's ears were not as sharp as Xie Shi's. He didn't hear any cats meowing in the house, but he knew that his husband's ears were good. He said that if there were cats meowing, there would definitely be one.Han Ning asked Xie Shi to wait for a while, walked out of the room by himself, and asked people to check around the corner of the yard.

After a while, someone came to report that a litter of newborn kittens was found in a bush in the east corner. It is estimated that a female cat gave birth last night, but unfortunately, all three of them have passed away. Frozen to death, only a yellow and white raccoon cat was left alive, it was the one who had been barking just now, but the sound was too weak, only people with abnormal hearing like Xie Shi could hear it.

As soon as Xie Shi heard that there was a kitten, he wanted to lift the quilt and get out of bed to have a look. Not only the attendants who were waiting on the side almost knelt down for him, but even Han Ning was frightened by him. Live the action of Xie Shi.

"Sir, don't worry, I'll ask someone to clean it up, wrap it with a quilt to keep warm, and bring it here for you to watch?"

Seeing that he was so nervous, Xie Shi knew that he was frightening other children, so he nodded and said, "Go ahead, let someone get some goat milk for the kitten, just like a human being, a newborn kitten can only drink milk. .”

Knowing that Xie Shi misses it, several servants moved quickly and cooperated with each other, quickly cleaned up the cat, wrapped it in a small quilt like a swaddling baby, and put it in a small bamboo basket for the time being. in front of time.Coincidentally, the servant who went to the kitchen also brought a bowl of warm goat's milk.

Xie Shi was on the couch, and no one dared to let him get out of bed, so he acted as the conductor, teaching people to feed the kitten with goat milk according to the cloud raising cat video that he had watched before.Han Ning is the main force for breastfeeding. The young boy, as if he was facing a big enemy, refused the servant's help. He scooped up a little goat milk with a small spoon and brought it to the kitten's mouth. The kitten didn't even have eyes. Open it, but it may be that it smells milk, and it reflexively starts to lick.Although only one drop can be licked at a time, at least it was fed in. Han Ning fulfilled her husband's request and breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, slowly, in the warm spring-like room, the little kitten's body, which was frozen into a popsicle, slowly recovered its warmth, and its stiff limbs began to move. Goat milk bowl to lick.Xie Shi watched it with a smile all the way, and saw that it was full, its limbs curled up, and it fell asleep in a bamboo basket no bigger than a palm.

When Han Ji came back, he saw such a scene. The beauty's waist-length black hair was tied loosely behind her head with a jade hairpin, and a few broken hairs fell from her forehead. He looked at the things in the basket next to him with his chin in his hand, with a smile on his lips.

"What is this?" Han Ji said, Xie Shi looked up, the smile on his face was even bigger, he waved to Han Ji, and said softly: "I picked up a kitten in the yard today."

Han Ji was about to frown, but was interrupted by Xie Shi who knew him well, "Don't worry, I didn't get out of bed, I asked Han Ning to look outside."

Only then was Han Ji satisfied, nodded to Han Ning who was standing beside him and said, "Well done, the pony born to that Tianfang BMW in the stable will reward you."

Tianfang is the name of the Arabian region in ancient China. There are countless good horses in Han Ji's stables, including the famous bloody BMW, the Ahajie Golden Horse. However, Han Ning only loves the black horse from Tianfang. The divine horse, tall and majestic, with a dignified body, is black in color, gallops up and out of thousands of miles, named Xuanying, and is Han Ji's most commonly used mount when traveling.Naturally, Han Ning would not take advantage of his uncle, but instead fell in love with Xuanying's child, a pony who inherited Xuanying's outstanding appearance and ability.

However, Han Ji had been refusing to give it to him because he was underage before, but today he let go for some reason.Although he liked the Tianfang pony very much, Han Ning shook his head in front of his uncle and said, "This is what a nephew should do. Uncle doesn't need to reward me."

Han Ji raised his eyebrows, but when Xie Shi poked his head out from behind Han Ji, he said with a smile, "It would be nice to have a gift, there's no reason to push it away, Brother Ning, agree quickly, what's so embarrassing?" Yes, last time in Lidong, I saw Brother Ning riding a pony, and I thought it was very cute."

Han Ning: ...Although, sir, can you use another word when you compliment me next time?It's too awkward to be cute or something.

In the end, Han Ning still liked to mention the BMW mount that he had been thinking about for a long time. Xie Shi also made an agreement with him that when he recovered from his injury, he would go to the stable to see what the BMW from Tianfang looked like, and then examine Han Ning's riding skills.

After Han Ning left, Han Ji unceremoniously approached and sat beside him, lifted Xie Shi's robe, and carefully inspected his wound.Xie Shi was stabbed in the chest and abdomen, but luckily it didn't go deep into the flesh, and the wound was not big, but it's not suitable to pull it, as the wound would burst and bleed, so Han Ji had to check it several times a day.

Xie Shi turned his head and looked out the window. He couldn't hear anything unusual in his voice, so he had nothing to say: "It's not cracked, I don't feel any pain."

Han Ji nodded, nodded, bowed his head, and helped him tie his belt carefully again. The atmosphere between the two was quiet and comfortable, and there was a sense of tugging for unknown reasons.

After Xie Shi was seriously injured and woke up this time, he found that Han Ji's attitude towards him had changed. Xie Shi couldn't say what the specific change was, but he was more active and close than usual, and occasionally Xie Shi even noticed some of it. A bit strong, but this strength was used to take care of him, Xie Shi didn't feel disgusted.

However, Xie Shi had something strange in his heart, and he would dodge a little at first, but I don't know if Han Ji didn't notice it, or what, anyway, Han Ji's posture and actions have not changed back to the previous calm and polite manners.Xie Shi slowly got used to it, but he was still a little embarrassed when changing the dressing and checking.

"Have you investigated the forces behind the assassin?"

When Xie Shi woke up for the past two days, Han Ji had been accompanying him and rarely left. Even if there was something urgent, he would discuss or review official documents in a small room separated by a wall.But today, uncharacteristically, he went to a study a little further away to discuss matters with Cen Yu and the others. Xie Shi guessed that it was about the assassination.

Han Ji nodded, not hiding anything from him, but telling him about all the forces involved in this assassination.

"Fuyun Temple is also involved?" Xie Shi was surprised.

Han Ji looked condensed, "As long as you give them money, they will do anything. This round of siege and search of Fuyun Temple not only confiscated more than [-] boxes of gold, silver, jewelry and various treasures from the underground palace, but also found that these monks used incense to unravel." In the name of signing, they did all kinds of crimes, abduction and trafficking of women."

Xie Shi was so angry that he scolded: "This is a den of thieves! Under the Buddha, they did such treacherous and evil things. If these bald donkeys don't believe in Buddhism at all, they will not be afraid of the Buddha's blame. Their crimes must be blamed. Make it public, otherwise those believers would still be foolishly kept in the dark, why would they hate you in their hearts."

When Han Ji heard his last sentence, a smile appeared in his eyes, "Okay, after all the confessions are made, I will post all the evidence and crimes and tell the people."

Xie Shi nodded, "As for those women who are persecuted, if they have no place to go and are willing to live in another place, they can also go to the Nursing Home in Le County. I plan to expand it in the next year and recruit a group of Le County Orphans, after they go, they can also help take care of the children, as long as people are alive, life will gradually get better."

Han Ji nodded, "Don't worry about this, I will arrange it. Think about what you want to eat today."

When it came to food, Xie Shi frowned, "Brother Ji, can I eat whatever I want? Then can I have beef hot pot, braised prawns, spicy crab, sweet and sour pork tenderloin or fried beef river? "

Han Ji didn't shake his head, but just looked at him quietly and said, "Okay, wait until you recover from your injury."

Xie Shi helped his forehead, "Then why don't you tell me what to eat today?"

"In addition to medicinal food, the doctor said that you can drink a bowl of sweet soup. What would you like to drink?"

Xie Shi didn't expect such a surprise. After thinking about it, he said: "Then eat the noodles, I'll write a recipe, and you can follow it to the kitchen."

It’s rare to have something you want to eat when you’re thankful and don’t need to be taboo, Han Ji naturally indulges, “You say it, and I’ll write it.”

"Qing Jialu" introduces the powder balls in this way, "the big ones with fillings are the powder balls, which are the first products of the winter solstice night; However, this kind of food is not only found in Quanzhou, but also in almost all parts of Fujian, even in Chaoshan and Taiwan.However, the methods are different in different places, and the names are also different. For example, as far as Xie Shi knows, the preparation of Qingxin Wan in Chaozhou is actually similar to that of powder.

Because cassava is still in the distant American land, when Xie Shi wants to make noodles or Qingxin pills, lotus root flour and glutinous rice flour must be mixed in proportion to replace cassava flour, so that the noodles can be tough but not stiff, and It can also present the shape of a transparent Q bomb.

Mix pumpkin puree, carrot juice, red yeast rice powder, etc. with the mixed powder, knead it into a dough, and then knead it into colorful small balls. Finally, add mung beans, lily, lotus seeds, ginkgo and buffalo milk to cook together. Sprinkle with a little icing sugar and serve.If it is summer, you can also add some crushed ice to make an iced drink, and the taste is quite good.

This winter, Xie Shi drank hot sweet soup. After eating the strange medicinal diet, there was a bowl of sweet and sweet soup to wash away the medicinal taste in his mouth. Even drinking the medicine and eating the medicinal diet was not so hard up.While Xie Shi was drinking, he glanced at the cat sleeping in the bamboo basket, and suddenly suggested: "Why don't you name the cat 'Fen Yuan', I think the whole cat is round, and its nose is still pink. Wouldn’t it be just right to call it Fenyuan?” The name Fenyuan is pretty good, but it’s because it’s delicious.
