He felt uncomfortable all night, he didn't feel it himself, but Ji Hong was so frightened that he didn't sleep much all night, wishing he could have eyes on Yu Jinnian, lest he wake up at night, hungry and thirsty but no one to serve him. The master didn't rest, Duan Ming and the others didn't dare to close their eyes, they took turns guarding outside the door until dawn.
Although the facts proved that it was just a false alarm, when Yu Jinnian completely sobered up, there was no one in the yard who didn't know about his condition. Min Mao came over and made fun of him.
Yu Jinnian supported his slightly aching head, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the big face of the youngest of the Min family, who was afraid of chaos in the world, and he was laughing and laughing as he looked at him, and said with a hypocritical joke, "What kind of fairy wine are you drinking? It actually makes people so intoxicated, give me a cup and taste it quickly"? He was so angry that he "turned into anger from embarrassment", sat up and kicked the young master.
Min Mao yelled to dodge, the second brother and the third brother yelled wildly, and then a figure crossed between the two of them, stretched out his hand, firmly grasped Yu Jinnian's ankle, and reprimanded him helplessly: " Arguing with him just after waking up, doesn't your head hurt?"
Yu Jinnian raised his eyes and saw that it was Ji Hong, he immediately became fatigued, changed from baring his teeth and dancing claws into a shy flower, honestly hid his feet, arranged the obscene clothes under the quilt, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and replied : "It's all good, nothing serious, but the head is still a little sore... Oh, by the way, is the doctor still there?"
Ji Hong handed him the coat: "I went back last night."
"Forget it," Yu Jinnian said, "I also know what's going on."
He walked out in a hurry, wanting to ask the little lady ahead to ask for a piece of meat mushroom to take a closer look to verify his idea. Yu Jinnian's appearance last night was really scary, even if he woke up from the wine today, Ji Hong was still worried, so he went with him.
When the two arrived at the door, they met people from the Lu family across the street carrying luggage. Surrounded by two wives, older and younger, Lu Yanjia walked out of the house in a breezy manner, apparently having slept well last night. Lu Yanjia also saw the two of them, and couldn't avoid them, so he came over to exchange some pleasantries, and said, "Morning, I heard that young master got drunk last night, how are you doing now?"
Yu Jinnian wondered why everyone knew about his drunkenness, but he said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, please remember, Mr. Yu is well."
"That's good." Lu Yanjia didn't care if he was okay, but just used this as an excuse to stir up the topic, and took the opportunity to say, "Just now I sent someone to scout the road, and we should go down from here. Go east. Thanks to the young master’s care along the way, Wen Jun’s body has gradually stabilized, and it takes only half a day to go east to Heluo City, where everything is convenient.”
It was time to part ways with them.
Yu Jinnian has delayed Lu Yanjia for so many days, and he really can't find any other excuses right now. He and Qi Wenjun sisters are not related, and it is the utmost kindness to be sent here. If he asks to keep Lu Yanjia, he may be suspicious, so he has no choice but to Follow his words: "If that's the case, then let's say goodbye, Mr. Lu, be careful on the road."
He took a look at Hanxiao, and found that Hanxiao's face was calm, not only did he show no anxiety about it, but also had a hint of anticipation.
It is also strange.
This Mr. Lu is a young leader among the foreign officials in Beijing, with elegant armbands and elegant eyes. Now it is the time for the central government to employ people. It is presumed that within a few years, he will become an upstart in the court. And his two beautiful wives and concubines on the left and right, each with their own merits, the three of them are harmonious and harmonious, which is really enviable. But who knows how many dirty lice and fleas are crawling behind the glamor and the truth.
The Lu family rested their horses and horses outside the old house, and Han Xiao and Qi Wenjun were whispering beside the car.
Yu Jinnian wrote a prescription for recuperation and pregnancy, and asked someone to take it to Lu Yanjia, and especially instructed that Qi Wenjun's body is weak, and he should not be affected during the pregnancy, otherwise if the fetal gas is moved, there will be another miscarriage, which may affect the baby. Mrs. later conceived.
After giving these instructions, he and Ji Hong went to the kitchen, and saw the aunt squatting by the well, washing vegetables and soaking rice, he followed him to have a look, and saw some unwanted roots and rotten leaves thrown in a dustpan beside her. He picked up a weirdly shaped mushroom from it, it looked like an unopened umbrella, with a round head, a skirt made of white hair, and a layer of soft scale-like burrs on the outer layer.
He had only had some vague guesses about this thing last night, but now he saw the Lord, and he suddenly felt relieved.
He patted his clothes and stood up, while Ji Hong took the mushroom and looked at it.
The aunt reminded: "That root is broken, you can't eat it, you have to pick these white and fat ones."
Ji Hong nodded to her, took the mushroom and walked to the side of the young man who was looking around, and asked in a low voice: "You last night... but because you ate this poisonous mushroom?"
Yu Jinnian picked up a few white-colored mushrooms from the basket. He thought they had just been picked from the forest, and there was still some soil on the mushrooms. , frowned and said: "The mushroom itself is not poisonous, but this kind of mushroom can't be used with wine. And once the umbrella is opened, the black edge will melt, and you can't eat it anymore."
Ji Hong has never heard of such a statement, and it is quite strange.
Yu Jinnian recalled: "I didn't eat this food often before, so I didn't have a deep impression on it. Only once, I saw a patient who was like me at that time, but he was much more serious than me, almost Passed out. It was later learned that he picked a white mushroom in the wilderness without authorization to eat with wine—it was this.”
He pointed to the mushroom that had already opened the umbrella in Ji Hong's hand: "This mushroom is called a ghost umbrella. As the doctor said yesterday, it can help wine. But in fact, it is not that it helps wine, but that it hinders wine. Eat After eating this kind of mushroom, the alcohol cannot be transformed by the liver and stomach, so people who would never get drunk after a thousand glasses will drink it immediately. In severe cases, there is a danger of life.”
Presumably most people know that certain antibiotics cannot be taken with alcohol, otherwise it will cause serious adverse reactions and even threaten life. But few people know that this kind of reaction, which is called "disulfiram-like reaction" in medicine, is similar to that of the condylarin contained in the ghost umbrella. It's just that there are many varieties of ghost umbrellas, and the content of toxins also varies. After eating with wine, they will naturally behave in different degrees.
And according to Yu Jinnian's personal experience, the ghost umbrella here is quite vicious. Fortunately, he can drink very well, so he just passed out all night. Otherwise, if he capsized on a plate of fried vegetarian mushrooms, it would be ridiculous and generous.
However, in Yu Jin's previous life, the ghost umbrella had already been cultivated artificially, and the toxins in it had been weakened to the minimum. It was known to thousands of households under the name of Coprinus comatus and became a rare delicacy on the table. However, at this time and this place, there is far from such advanced cultivation technology. These ghost umbrellas picked directly from the forest are the most primitive and natural, and naturally it is impossible to estimate the amount of toxins in them.
This village is very barren, and they often use this mushroom as a vegetable. Maybe it was lucky that no accident happened, or maybe when the accident happened, it was simply ignored by people as drunk, so no one has ever paid attention to this problem. And even the barefoot doctor simply thought that this mushroom was good for drinking, obviously no one was aware of the toxicity of this mushroom.
Although the ghost umbrella is a kind of mushroom with extremely tenacious vitality, it can be seen everywhere in the north and south, especially after the rain, it will emerge endlessly on the wet mud of the forest shade, but because of its terrifying appearance after opening the umbrella, not everyone dares to enjoy this mushroom. tasty. Compared to Beidi, Nandi seems to have unique courage in eating mushrooms.
Yu Jinnian tried the method last night and experienced it himself. From now on, he is afraid that he will have a huge psychological shadow on this mushroom, and he will not dare to eat it again.
He put down the meat mushrooms in his hand, and a young servant walked in cursing outside the door. He came to fetch things for Lu Yanjia. As soon as he entered the kitchen, he said in a loud voice: "Is the thing my son wants ready? What's the matter?" slow?"
My aunt saw that he was not pleasing to the eye, and was about to get up to scold him. The little lady who was tidying up in the kitchen ran out quickly, took the basket of meat mushrooms in Yu Jinnian's hand, and handed it to the boy. Seeing the disgust on his face, she hurriedly explained: : "Okay, okay, you see. Once washed, this mushroom is easy to spoil, and it is not good to eat if it is soft, so it will be put with some mud."
The boy reluctantly accepted this statement, dropped the money, and was about to leave when Yu Jinnian called him back.
"What are you doing again?" The boy stepped back vigilantly after having suffered more than one loss from Yu Jinnian, "Don't come here."
Yu Jinnian smiled and said: "No, brother, we are friends if we go all the way together?"
The boy rolled his eyes, who is your friend now? It's just that this young man is also strange, insisting on sticking his hot face to someone's cold ass, he asked himself: "I don't know where your young master is, but if there is a fate in the future, invite your young master to drink!"
"..." The young man looked at him inexplicably, and thought that Yu Jinnian had opened his eyes and wanted to hug his master's thigh, so he said arrogantly, "My son doesn't like to drink, and he doesn't like wine on weekdays. If you are at the mansion, just have a drink or two, and drink...forget it! If you have the heart, you can treat my young master to a cup of high-quality Longzhi Yunwu at the Tianxing Tea House in Dongjun Mansion."
"That is, it should be, it should be." Yu Jinnian responded with a smile, and then asked quietly, "Hey, where are your two wives from? When we come to visit in the future, we can also prepare some small gifts that suit our wishes."
When the servant heard this, he felt that it made some sense, and thought that Yu Jinnian was very upright, so he replied tirelessly: "Our eldest lady is from the Dongjun Prefecture, and the young lady... Although she was brought back from the Changdu Mansion..." He After thinking about it, "But it seems that the girl who served her mentioned that she seems to be from the north, but I don't know the specifics."
Northerners
Yu Jinnian pondered for a moment, then quickly smiled and sent the boy out.
—
The chariots and horses of the two families have all rested and put on their saddles, just waiting to set off.
Yu Jinnian was stuffed with a lot of souvenirs by his aunt's family, and he got into the car after a long chat. The little carrot hadn't had enough fun with him, so he waved at him reluctantly. Seeing that the baby was crying so much, he was really reluctant to part with it, so he rummaged through the box that he carried with him at the back of the car, found a pen wrapped in nanmu wood, brand new, not stained with ink, and threw it to Xiaoluo through the window Her mother.
Then he leaned on the window with one arm, and said with a smile: "Don't cry, don't you love to write, I will give you a pen! Study hard in the future, become the number one scholar, and come to Beijing to find me."
The little baby sobbed and said something like "I will definitely be admitted to the first prize", but his mother was flattered: "It is difficult for us to accept such an expensive pen..."
"It's just a pen, I think this doll is a top pick!" Yu Jinnian waved his hand, "Okay, let's go!"
The Lu family had gone far ahead, Yu Jinnian put down the curtain of the car, got back into the carriage, leaned on someone's body limply, and raised his legs. Ji Hong adjusted his sitting posture to make his pillow more comfortable, and then lightly tapped on the car wall twice.
Also hit the road.
Four or five miles out of the village, there is a fork in the road, one goes north, and the other goes diagonally southeast. If you keep going, you will be able to connect to the official road leading to Heluo City in the east.
Ji Lu's two teams separated here and went their separate ways.
Yu Jinnian raised the curtain of the car and looked to the east. He didn't look back until he saw the last footman of the Lu family disappearing into the dense forest road, and sighed lightly.
Ji Hong touched his forehead and asked, "What's wrong? But it's uncomfortable again?"
Yu Jinnian shook his head: "I hope it's not what I thought."
…
After parting with Lu Yanjia and his group, the road was calm and smooth. After passing this mountain pass, further north is an endless plain with uneven official roads and row upon row of towns. Compared with the warm and soft climate in the south, the north is another kind of awe-inspiring sassy. Xia Jing's singing and dancing continued until here, and it became a dazzling and prosperous atmosphere.
The Min brothers have long been tired of riding in carriages, and they each abandon their carts and ride horses. One is "Gallery" and the other is "Amber", and they are carrying two handsome young men in riding attire. Seeing Yu Jinnian enviously, he felt that being able to gallop a horse is the true quality of a man.
All the descendants of the aristocratic families in Beijing were excellent at archery, and they were all brought up since childhood. Ji Hong would naturally know how to ride a horse, but he was in poor health when he was young, and no one dared to ask him to ride a horse unless it was necessary. Besides, he himself didn't have much interest in riding horses, only occasionally being dragged out by Min Xuefei to relax.
Seeing Yu Jinnian was really greedy right now, Ji Hong asked, "Want to ride?"
Yu Jinnian nodded vigorously: "But I won't."
Ji Hong smiled and said, "That's not difficult."
So he also got out of the car halfway, and picked a docile horse from the team. Ji Hong stepped up first, then bent down from the horse's back, grabbed Yu Jinnian's hand, told him to step on the pedals firmly, and pulled him up—Yu Jinnian felt himself spinning, and he was sitting on the ground. He got on the horse and was firmly held by Ji Hong in front of him.
Ji Hong waved his whip: "Sit still."
The rest of the people took it for granted that they heard Yu Jinnian's screams coming from the car.
When the carriage drove down the city, the first ones were a few aristocrats on tall horses, who could be called unparalleled in romance. The Min brothers no longer deliberately concealed their whereabouts, while Min Xuefei directly revealed his identity, and the road was unimpeded. Perhaps it was because the group of them was too conspicuous and attracted the attention of passers-by. Yu Jinnian looked around excitedly, his eyes were full of prosperity that he had never seen before.
Different from the prosperity he had seen in his previous life, and also different from the peace and tranquility of Xin'an County, the town at this time was full of an indescribable style, the noise of people, the flying of dust, and even the chaos under the bright blue sky. Yelling, there is a different kind of fresh feeling.
Yu Jinnian forgot the pain in his butt for the time being, and asked curiously, "What is Xia Jing like?"
Ji Hong led him off his horse: "It is several times more prosperous than here."
Before Yu Jinnian had time to sigh, he heard a sudden commotion behind him. Between pointing and throwing things, he vaguely heard someone scolding and shouting: "Good you quack! You turned me into ashes I know you! Don’t try to run away—give me back my life! Give me my life!”
