Time has entered the end of October and the beginning of November before we know it, and the weather has turned cooler.
The climate in the Tang Dynasty was relatively similar to that in the 1920s. It seems that the scientific community generally believes that the climate is gradually returning to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
However, Chen Jingke's on-the-spot investigation found that the climate in the Tang Dynasty should be warmer than before he traveled there. There are actually wild rhinos in Shaanxi and wild elephants in the Huaihe River Basin.
But even so, it should still be cold in winter.
It's just that Zixiaoguan is not afraid of the cold. As mentioned before, the heating issue has been considered when building the house. The fireplace, fire wall, fire kang, and stove can be used to have a warm sleep at night.
When I got up the next morning, I found a thin layer of snow outside.
Yi Nu and Yu Zhu were so happy that they shouted regardless of their appearance. Yi Nu even danced in the snow, and Chen Jingke couldn't help but admire it.
She really didn't lie, she danced at a very high level. Especially the sword dance, with special costumes and two daggers dancing like flowers, it was quite pleasing to the eye.
Knowing that Chen Jingke likes to watch her dance, she seems to be deliberately acting out and does it at every turn.
Watching the dance in the snow today was a different kind of beauty. But the emperor was coming soon, and it was obviously not the time to appreciate the dance, so he left after watching it for a while.
Zhang Shigui's imperial army officially took over the security work in the Taoist temple's backyard, focusing on the courtyard where the banquet was about to be held.
However, the front yard was not touched and it did not affect the people burning incense and worshiping gods.
In the past, when Li Shimin and Changsun Wugao came for a private visit incognito, they brought a group of guards with them and did little to protect them.
But this time it can only be regarded as a semi-incognito private visit, and the family is brought to eat. If something goes wrong, they will be in trouble, so they are so careful.
…
Chen Jingke went to the kitchen to take a look again. Given his status, no one could stop him.
The chef and helpers had gotten up early and were preparing the ingredients according to the process so that they could be put into the pot. Naturally, the whole process was monitored by the guards.
Because Chen Jingke didn't tell them that the emperor and empress were coming, they thought they were just bigger dignitaries, so they weren't nervous and it seemed normal.
After going around in a circle, a Taoist boy came to report: Duke Yi Guo is visiting, and the master of the temple invites the real person to come.
Chen Jingke was not surprised by his arrival. He knew about Zixiaoguan's banquet with the emperor today, and he would definitely come as long as there was no problem with his health.
I followed the Taoist boy to the backyard, where I met the door god who was chatting with Sun Simiao, Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao.
Qin Qiong obviously knew something. As soon as they met, he stood up and said, "Qin Qiong thanks the real person for surviving."
Chen Jingke first turned sideways and received a half salute, and then returned the salute: "Shibo is so out of touch. Brother Yandao and I hit it off as old friends. His elders are my elders, and we should help each other."
"Haha." Qin Qiong laughed and said: "Yandao's qualifications are average. I used to worry that he would not be able to support the family. It is rare for a real person to not despise his despicableness and be willing to be friends with him. This is his honor."
Chen Jingke said seriously: "Everyone has his own strengths and weaknesses. It is not the behavior of a wise person to compare one's own shortcomings with others' strengths."
"Brother Yan Dao also has strengths that others cannot match. It's just that you, Shi Bo, have too high demands on him. You only see his shortcomings and not his strengths."
Qin Jia on the side was very happy to hear this, and she was also simply grateful and a little more fond of Chen Jingke. Who doesn't like to hear people praise their son.
Qin Yandao was even more excited. He had wanted to say this to his master for a long time, but he didn't dare to say it.
Qin Qiong obviously didn't expect that Chen Jingke would say that, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then instead of getting angry, she felt relieved and said with emotion:
"That's it. That's how we were as a group of old friends back then. We helped each other with courage and courage along the way. I hope you can always be like this and don't be like Pusangong."
Pushan Gong was Li Mi, who killed Zhai Rang and caused Wagang to split. To Qin Qiong, Li Mi was a treacherous villain, so he ran away with Cheng Yaojin and others.
And Wagang finally got up early and rushed to the late market, which had to be said to be directly related to the split.
What he said was completely from the perspective of an elder, so Chen Jingke and Qin Yandao said together: "Here, I would like to follow the teachings of Uncle Shi."
Sun Simiao then checked Qin Qiong's body again, and her condition indeed improved a lot.
The most intuitive manifestation is that there is a little more color on the face, the spirit is much better, and the pulse and heartbeat have been greatly improved compared to before.
According to Qin Qiong herself, she felt less tired and much warmer than before. The most important thing was that she finally had a peaceful sleep.
I had a blood transfusion yesterday and took tranquilizers. I slept until midnight before waking up. After a simple meal, I felt sleepy again and slept until dawn.
"I haven't had such a good night's sleep in at least five years, and I haven't had such a good conversation in a long time."
Chen Jingke nodded and said: "Severe anemia is indeed like this. You have just received a blood transfusion and your body has not fully recovered. In two or three months, the symptoms of dizziness, tinnitus, and vertigo will disappear one after another."
"As long as you follow Master's prescription and don't dare say anything else, you will have no problem having your great-grandson."
Qin Qiong smiled and said: "Then I will listen to the real person and wait to hold my great-grandson."
Qin Yandao will marry Yuchi Gong's granddaughter this winter. If it goes well, he will have a child next year. If not, he will have a child the year after next. When the child reaches fifteen or sixteen, they will get married and have children... Calculated, it will take twenty years.
Qin Qiong is forty-one this year, and will be sixty in twenty years. In ancient times, it can be said that he has lived a long life, so he is naturally very happy.
At around three o'clock, that is, almost ten o'clock, Li Shimin, dressed in casual clothes, came to the banquet with his entire family.
Naturally, the eldest grandson Wugu would not be absent. Li Zhi, Princess Chengyang, Princess Jinyang, and Princess Xincheng all came, and even Princess Gaoyang and Li Tai also came. Only Li Chengqian was reportedly detained by the teacher.
Li Zhi was very polite, but Princess Gaoyang still didn't want to see him. Princess Chengyang asked him to tell the story of Journey to the West as soon as they met.
Princess Jinyang continued to hug and lift her up. The little girl was completely won over by his toys and she liked this brother very much.
Li Taihe has undergone a completely different change from before, from a big fat guy to a medium-sized fat guy, with a rosy face and a lot of muscles on his body.
But one thing has not changed. He is still so talkative. As soon as they met, he took Chen Jingke's hand and said, "Brother Xian, you don't know how my brother has been able to persist these days."
"I get up earlier than a chicken, go to bed later than a dog, eat worse than a pig, and work more than an ox... I'm miserable, I'm miserable."
Li Shimin's eyes twitched when he heard this. He seemed to want to expel him from the house and sever the relationship between father and son.
Changsun Wugou slapped him and said angrily: "Speak carefully, my brothers and sisters are watching."
What could Chen Jingke say, he could only console him: "It's all for the sake of your health. Brother, continue to persevere. It will be fine once you lose weight."
Soon Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong arrived with their families.
Cheng Yaojin came here with his second wife, Cheng Cui, Cheng Hualiang, and Cheng Chubi. Yuchi Gong did not continue his marriage after his wife died of illness, so he only brought his grandchildren.
Chen Jingke mainly secretly observed the bride-to-be, Miss Yuchi, who was very beautiful. She smiled before she spoke. Qin Yan said, you are so lucky.
When everyone arrived, the kitchen started cooking.
The advantage of stir-frying is that it is fast and the feast will begin quickly.
