Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1196: Can we get the best of both worlds?

After returning home, Li Shan went to the backyard immediately. His wife had a good appetite this morning and didn't have morning sickness. She didn't know how she would feel at noon.

"I ate a piece of steamed fish." Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, and then said angrily: "I still want to eat fish vermicelli!"

"Absolutely not allowed!" Li Shan was shocked. The sashimi of this era was filled with parasites.

If you are infected, you have nothing to do. Although Chinese medicine also has the theory of corpse worms, the success rate is very low.

"If you don't want to eat, don't eat." Cui Shiniang puffed her mouth, holding a pear in both hands and nibbling on it.

"My expression has improved a lot." Li Shan observed, "Stewing an old hen tonight?"

"With a belly full of butter and a thick layer on top of the soup, it must be delicious!"

Cui Shiniang’s eyebrows were raised and her eyes were wide-eyed. You know clearly that I can’t eat greasy food recently due to morning sickness, but you actually...

Cui Xin, who just arrived, is about to blow his beard. Li Huairen, you are looking for scolding!
Nowadays, rumors about Cui Shiniang being a shrew are flying all over the sky. There is nothing we can do. It is said that King Wei Si personally admitted that he washed his wife's feet every night.

Well, the most famous shrew in the early Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling's wife Fan, was groundless, but in this life, Cui Shiniang's name will be passed down to future generations... But Cui Xin doesn't want this kind of reputation.

Just when Cui Xin was about to curse loudly, Mrs. Zhang took her daughter and whispered a few times.

"what?"

"I really don't want to vomit!"

Cui Shiniang, who was holding her chest, was surprised to find that she was no longer sick.

Li Shan felt completely relaxed. Generally speaking, pregnant women's morning sickness only lasts for a certain period of time and is very concentrated. Once it passes, it rarely recurs.

Mrs. Zhang heard her son-in-law explain a few words, took her husband and laughed softly: "They all say that Huairen is proficient in the art of war, and it is true."

Cui Xin blushed. At this time, he could naturally see that his son-in-law was deliberately testing him.

"Let's make a bowl of vegetable soup tonight." Li Shan turned around and said with a smile: "Now that the heat has dissipated, but the cold has not yet arrived, it is the right time."

So, that night, Li Shan cooked the food himself, and not only his wife, but also his father-in-law and mother-in-law were very satisfied with the meal.

The so-called vegetable soup is made from tofu, marinated meat, dried bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, dried shrimps and other raw materials, chopped and added with water to make a pot of thick soup, and finally thickened with lotus root starch.

Li Shan was a little regretful. There should have been another step, using tomatoes to make juice. This would make the vegetable soup slightly sour, which was very appetizing.

I guess I will never have the chance to see tomatoes, peppers, corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes again in this life.

Li Shan once carefully thought about it. If he traveled through Europe, there might be hope. After all, those pirates' desire for wealth is endless.

But the same cannot be said for China. For thousands of years, the people of this land have always looked at the land beneath their feet.

Therefore, I will never be able to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, and the most regrettable thing is chili.

In his previous life, Li Shan could eat spicy food, but he didn't really like it. But after he lost it, he realized that... he actually liked Chili Pepper so much.

However, mother Zhu didn't seem to have much of an appetite, and even Mrs. Zhang noticed it... Cui Xin was also thoughtful. It seemed that ever since she temporarily moved to Sun Moon Lake, Madam Zhu had always frowned.

Others didn't know, but Li Shan knew it well. After Cui Shiniang fell asleep, he carried a wooden tray to the main room in the backyard. Sure enough, his mother had not fallen asleep yet.

"Why are you here if you don't accompany Eleven Niang?" "I'm afraid my mother will be hungry, so I'll make some midnight snacks." Li Shan said with a smile: "A bowl of mung bean and red bean porridge, with side dishes to accompany it, will stop you from being hungry immediately." As for fullness.”

Zhu was a little surprised, but also a little relieved, and ate slowly while holding the bowl.

In fact, Li Shan didn't know what his mother was worried about now and why she was in a bad mood.

These two questions seem to be the same question, but the answers are actually inconsistent. The reason why Zhu is in a bad mood is largely due to his son's meticulous care for his daughter-in-law.

Even Cui Xin reminded the rumors several times. At first, his son turned a deaf ear to it, but in the end he just let it go. I just washed my wife's feet!
What's going on? !

It was a joke to others, and a shame to many men, but when it fell into Zhu's ears, it caused strong fluctuations in her emotions.

No way, the contrast is too strong.

A father abandons his wife and son, but a son takes care of everything.

Although Mrs. Zhu and Cui Shiniang have very good tempers, they are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after all, so they are naturally on opposite sides.

Although she had no objection to her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhu always felt that her son had been snatched away...especially after Li Shan drove back to Chang'an and returned to Sun Moon Lake, he rushed to see his wife first.

Although Mrs. Zhu didn't say anything, she didn't have anything in her heart. Even Cui Shiniang even apologized tactfully in private... But it was inevitable that Ms. Zhu felt unhappy in her heart.

So, Li Shan sent this midnight snack... Hey, actually Li Shan didn't notice it at first, but he has a good wife at home.

And what Zhu is worried about... Li Shan said softly: "Don't worry, mother, the child met with his uncle today."

Zhu regained her energy, dropped the spoon, and grabbed Li Shan's arm, "How's it going, brother?"

"Not bad." Li Shan said slowly: "The prince trusts you more..."

Of course, if Wei Zheng hadn't rushed to Renzhi Palace and the prince hadn't rushed to Phoenix Valley, even if Li Yuan didn't want to and even if Li Shimin felt rushed, Yang Wengan's rebellion would have prevented the prince from getting away.

And all of this stems from Er Zhuhuan's report to the prince... Can the prince not trust him?

But that's not what Zhu was worried about, "His Royal Highness King Qin..."

"It's over." Li Shan sighed, "It's okay for now. I'll think of a way to get the best of both worlds in the future."

Zhu rubbed her eyebrows with her other hand and opened her mouth, wanting to say something but still nothing came out.

Zhu knew clearly that her son could help if she wanted to keep her brother safe, but while helping, the relationship between her son and her brother might be exposed?

These truths were unexpected by Zhu. It was Ling Jing who came to visit and analyzed them with Li Shan to Zhu.

Li Shan comforted his mother casually while thinking about what his uncle said today.

Er Zhuhuan had already made up his mind. He would find an opportunity to escape and live in seclusion in the south of the Yangtze River. As long as he changed his surname to Er Zhu, it should be safe.

Er Zhuhuan and Li Shan knew in their hearts that using Qi King and Feng Lun's secret collusion as an excuse to fool them was only temporary. Although betrayal was not Er Zhuhuan's original intention and was even the key to Li Shan turning the tide, on the Qin King's side, the stain was It can never be washed clean.

Li Shan neither agreed nor objected to this plan, but proposed to wait until the prince was defeated.

Li Shan hopes to find a way to get the best of both worlds.
