Qiao Yi

Chapter 160, Preparation

Every year in the Great Yan Dynasty, when the Xiaonian day came, the emperor would seal the jade seal, and the officials in the court would not have to go to the court every day, and the yamen of each government would not have to go to work, which is equivalent to the annual leave for the officials. Go home for the New Year.After the Chinese New Year, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the yamen of each prefecture will officially open, and the officials will go back to work.

So every year at this time, most of the officials in the capital are on vacation.

Of course, the patrolling soldiers on the street and the soldiers guarding the city gates had no time off, and they were still at their posts every day.

In the past few days, the capital city has been extremely lively. The streets are full of pedestrians, carriages and horses, and caravans from all over the country bring goods to the capital city to sell things.The shops selling grain, oil and cloth on the street are crowded with people every day, and the restaurants and teahouses are full of people every day. The half-month business at the end of the year can be said to be the best in a year, and the merchants are all working hard. I sell things and want to make more money so I can go home and have a good New Year.

It just so happened that the two of them had nothing to do that day, and both of them happened to be at the house, so they made an appointment to drink tea outside.

"Okay, okay, take you and take you."

When going out, the little white tiger clung to him, so Qiao Yi had no choice but to bring Xie Xiaonian out with him. Since he brought Xie Xiaonian out, he took Qiao Xiaole along with him by the way.This child has been detained in the palace all day long to read and write with his husband, and he is afraid that he will be exhausted.

The three of them were sitting in the carriage with a little tiger, and there were noisy sounds from outside.

Even though she was very afraid of the prince opposite, Qiao Xiaole was very happy to be able to come out to play.Hearing the lively sound outside, the child quietly pulled up a corner of the curtain of a car and looked outside, fearing that someone would find out, he took a second look and put it down again.

This was repeated twice.

"Look at it if you want. You don't have to hide it. I won't punish you or anything." Qiao Yi said aloud when he saw the child's movements.Did the kid really think they couldn't see his little tricks?He felt like laughing again.

He sometimes felt that this child was too timid, but thinking about what happened to this child, the current appearance of this child was considered cheerful.

In the past, he had never raised a child by himself, but watched others raise it.At the end of the world, there were also children in the base they established. Most of those children were picked up by them because their parents were no longer there. There was a special person in the base who was responsible for raising those children. He just went to check up on those children regularly. Or if a child is sick, he will go to others to have a look.

Some children there are afraid of him, because he will prescribe bitter medicine and give them injections, so some children will be afraid of him.But some children are not afraid of him. When they see him, they call him doctor and doctor, which is also very cute.This is also the reason why Qiao Yi likes children when she sees them. Cubs like this are very rare in the last days.

"Hey..." Qiao Xiaole let out a chuckle, then pulled up the curtain, and looked outside openly.

Qiao Yi raised her head and met Xie Yin's gaze. He didn't see in the eyes of a man that he didn't like children, probably because he was born not knowing how to get along with children?So when the child sees this person, it will be like a mouse seeing a cat.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.

Seeing the boy smiling, Xie Yin didn't know what the boy was smiling at, but seeing the boy smiling, he also felt very happy

The carriage stopped in front of a restaurant, and the group of them went upstairs to the wing.

Qiao Yi was holding the little white tiger in his arms. The little thing was covered in snow-white fur. Most people wouldn't recognize it as a little tiger, let alone bring a tiger into the street.The little tiger sees a lot of people on weekdays, and he is not afraid of people. Let him hug him, and he is very well-behaved all the way.

After entering the house, the little thing was about to come down, so he had no choice but to put the little white tiger on the ground.

As soon as he arrives in a strange place, the little white tiger will go around to inspect his new territory, walking here and smelling there.

"There's no need to wait here, you all go out." When the servants brought up the tea and snacks, Qiao Yi let people go down.The boy responded, turned around and went out, closing the door behind him.

There are two guards standing at the door.

It just so happened that their box was facing the street. Qiao Yi opened the window and saw passers-by on the street.

"This capital city is really lively." In the past, he was either on his way to the medical center or on his way back to Prince Ming's Mansion. He was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery on the street, and now he was standing upstairs here. Looking down, the mood is completely different

of.

Qiao Xiaole also stood by the window and stood there looking down.

Qiao Yi went back to her seat and sat down, picked up a piece of pastry, took a sip, and took a sip of tea.

Seeing the man on the opposite side drinking tea, he felt that the dim sum tasted good. After finishing one piece, Qiao Yi ate the second piece and said, "I heard that it snowed a lot outside the pass this year, and many places have suffered severe damage. Snow disaster." Although he was not in the court, the news was circulating in the capital, and he didn't need to inquire about some things, he would hear people outside, so he would hear some of them more or less.

As Xie Yin was above the court, he naturally knew these things better than Qiao Yi.Hearing the young man's words, Xie Yin nodded, hummed, and said: "There is an urgent letter from the border. There is such a thing. Every year at this time, many places are hit by snowstorms."

There was a snow disaster outside the pass, and so many cattle and sheep died, I am afraid that the Hu people will do something in the coming year.

As early as the year before last, the barbarians on the other side of the pass were ready to attack, but they dared not attack because of the guards at the border pass.These years, Dayan's surroundings have not been very peaceful, and foreign enemies invaded from time to time, those people ran away after grabbing things, and by the time they rushed over with their people, those people had already run away.But Xie Yin didn't talk about these things with Qiao Yi, he subconsciously didn't want the young man to know too much about these things.

In this era, natural disasters and man-made disasters are always inevitable. In the final analysis, it is caused by the word "poor". If the people live a prosperous life, why would they starve to death or freeze to death?Both of them knew this in their hearts, so they didn't continue talking about this matter.

Qiao Yi mentioned that he picked up two children to go back to the medical center some time ago, and mentioned that he wanted to train some children to study medicine. In fact, the best thing is to open a medical school to train these people systematically. But obviously he doesn't have the conditions and ability to do this now.

"Do you want to keep those two children here to teach them?" Xie Yin was obviously used to his little princess always picking up people from outside, but he still agreed with what Qiao Yi said.

"Still in the observation stage." Qiao Yi said so, but in her heart she felt that those two children were pretty good.

Even if he knew what the young man did outside and who he met, Xie Yin still liked that the young man would talk to him about these things, ask his opinions and thoughts, and treat him like a family member. Generally speaking, if there is anything, I will talk to him.

He will also appropriately mention his opinions and thoughts, and give the boy a reference.

The two people are in different positions and do different things, but if you think about it for a while, it is not completely unrelated.

United.

He has already asked people to do the two prescriptions given to him by the boy before.As long as there are no accidents, the benefits those two prescriptions can bring him are unimaginable.What he has to do now is to need a lot of money to raise soldiers and buy weapons. Everything is a huge expense. He has made a lot of money over the years, but the money he earned is not enough He used it to raise troops.

Hearing that the young man said that he wanted to train more people to study medicine and open a school, Xie Yin thought the young man's idea was very good.If one day he can sit in that position, he will definitely fully support the boy to do what he wants to do.

Now that they came out, they had dinner outside before going back to Prince Ming's Mansion.

In winter, the days are short and the night is fast. When they returned to the house from outside, it was already dark.

At night, two people lay on the same bed. At the beginning, each of them covered a quilt, but every day when he woke up, he ran into other people's quilts. I don't know if he rolled over by himself or was hugged in the middle of the night. , In short, he has not solved this mystery until now.

After so many times, Qiao Yi gave up the principle of covering one quilt for one person.Anyway, I'm sleeping on the same bed, but it's just a quilt, and I just cover it, whoever is afraid of it.

Of course, His Highness Prince Ming was never afraid of anyone.

When they woke up the next day, both of them were still in bed. It was really not easy for their prince to sleep late.

Qiao Yi yawned, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Usually when I wake up, you've already got up and gone out.

"

"Well, that's true."

Thinking that he used to get up and go out before dawn, and the boy was still sleeping when he got up.And he couldn't bear to wake people up, so every day after getting up, he put on his clothes lightly, washed up outside, and then went out.Seeing the laziness of the boy waking up at this moment, Xie Yin felt a little itchy in his heart.

Facing the look in the man's eyes, Qiao Yi immediately became vigilant, and subconsciously wanted to move back. The hand on his waist did not let go, and he didn't intend to let go at all, so he gave a dry laugh. , he discussed: "Let's, shouldn't it be time to get up?"

"No hurry." Seeing the young man's expression of wanting to run, Xie Yin suddenly smiled and asked, "Are you disappointed that you didn't see me when you woke up?"

"...How could it be!" Qiao Yi stared, with an expression like who would miss you.

His Royal Highness King Ming narrowed his eyes, with danger in his eyes, and asked: "Why not? It seems that this king didn't work hard enough to make the little princess not remember me."

"..." Little Doctor Qiao, we have agreed, wait a minute...

"Wait a minute! If you have anything to say, let's talk about it, don't get so close to me!" Seeing Xie Yin getting closer and closer, Qiao Yi felt a deep danger, and he wanted to run subconsciously.His Royal Highness King Ming turned over, pressed the person under him, then bent down, opened his mouth...

Pain in the neck.

Qiao Yi was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

asshole!are you a dogEven biting people!

When the cat's hidden guard on the beam heard the sound, he was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground. It's early in the morning, so it doesn't have to be so intense!

A group of people in the next yard were lying on top of the wall, staring at the closed room.

The two got up from the bed, dressed neatly, looked innocent, and sat at the dining table in the front hall to eat.

Today, Qiao Yi deliberately wore old clothes to cover up the bite marks on his neck, but why did he feel that the people around him were looking at him a little strangely today?Facing Zhang Jiu's gaze at him, Qiao Yi remembered the cry she yelled in the morning, probably everyone in the Ming Palace knew about it?

Joey: ..

This time is approaching the Chinese New Year, and the price of goods in the capital has risen a lot. For ordinary people, this price is definitely unacceptable, but for many wealthy households here in the capital, even if the things are a little more expensive, they will buy them. afford it.

But knowing that the price of the meat he bought was so much higher than before, Qiao Yi still felt a little pained, and turned to discuss with the butler, "I saw that the village on the outskirts of Beijing is so big, why don't you let someone do it over there?" Raise more pigs?"

"Can I grow some vegetables?" It happened that he had seen people grow greenhouse vegetables, but he could grow some off-season vegetables, so he didn't have to eat Chinese cabbage every day?

Steward Cui looked at their little princess with disgust in his eyes, a dignified princess wants to raise pigs and grow vegetables?The butler said that they could still afford this kind of meat in Prince Ming's Mansion.

Looking at the big butler with disdain, Qiao Yi shut up, "Pretend I never said that."

"However, let's really not think about it?" Doctor Qiao asked a little bit unwillingly.

"..." Steward Cui, don't think about it!

"Okay, that's just forget it." Qiao Yi thought to himself, when he went to plant herbs over there, he would have people raise pigs and grow vegetables over there! When they come back, they won't be eaten by you!

The meat purchased by the family was sent to the kitchen and handed over to the chef.

The chef bought the pork, according to the instructions of their princess, cut out the two most beautiful pieces of pork belly, and then cut them into pieces a little bigger than a palm, and put them in cold water to soak them one by one. After a complicated process, fry them into pieces and put them in a basin for later use.

The meat is not edible just after frying, and it has to be stewed in a small pot until the meat is tender and delicious, so it is only semi-processed at this time, and it is not considered a finished product.

But even so, the scent in the big kitchen attracted people from the whole house to run to the kitchen from time to time.

Even if you can't eat it, it's good to smell it first.

Until this day, everyone in the Ming Palace is looking forward to the New Year in their hearts...
