Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 142

After the dinner was over, Li Shimin, reeking of alcohol, was helped into the side hall by Empress Changsun.

When stepping into the chariot, Empress Changsun helped her staggering figure into her seat, and handed over the hot tea brought by the maid.

Li Shimin took the hot tea and talked in a drunken way.

"This Li Xian is really a second person."

"Fry green tea and offer horseshoes."

"It's worth it, the value given to me by this Hanlin scholar!"

Speaking the truth after drinking, the things buried in the heart are also revealed in one brain.

Empress Changsun was not as surprised as she imagined, and a look of joy floated on her slightly suffocated jade face.

"Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch, so how could he recognize the wrong person?"

"This kid has always been introverted. He can make green salt and make plows. It's not surprising that he has ideas in the military camp."

Beautiful eyes looked at the flickering candles in the car, and a gratified smile floated on the jade face of Empress Changsun.

"Previously, my concubine had some prejudice against this person, and her words were inevitably a bit sharp. A few days ago, when Li Xian was rectifying this concubine, his words were full of concern. Speaking of which, this concubine is still a little ashamed."

"It's really rare to have this talent at such a young age. One-handed acupuncture and moxibustion pierced into the head of the concubine. It looked horrifying, but it seemed to clear the stuffy breath in the concubine's heart. It was quite refreshing."

Li Shimin raised the corners of his mouth, his eyelids were a little heavy, he blinked and said with a smile.

"That's fine, that's fine."

The candle was flickering, Empress Changsun looked at the bright yellow wick, and remembered something in her heart.

"Your Majesty mentioned the marriage contract earlier, but our son has always been reserved and shy. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get it done without His Majesty's decree..."

"If not, His Majesty will issue a decree..."

The words came to an abrupt end, and Empress Changsun turned her head slightly, looked at the sleeping figure leaning on her shoulders, and pursed her lips into a smile.

"Marriage, marriage, such a big event, you can actually fall asleep..."

……

Outside the palace gate, civil and military bid farewell.

Being mentioned by His Majesty twice at the banquet, the status of the Cheng Mansion has risen unprecedentedly.

There were so many people who came to congratulate, it was only a few steps away, but Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chumo couldn't get on the carriage.

Seeing Wei Guogong and his son walk out of the palace gate, Cheng Yaojin crossed the crowd with his fists in his arms, and he bowed his hands in return before he escaped.

Striding in the direction of Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin let out a howl with the smell of alcohol all over his body.

"Duke Wei, Mr. Li wait a moment!"

During the words, he already ran over, patted Li Xian's shoulder with his big hand, and laughed.

Regardless of the many courtiers around him watching, they simply raised their arms and bowed.

"Mr. Li, thank you Brother Li!"

"In one day and one night, Cheng's mansion wiped away all the bad luck, and became Bi Xiao's favored minister."

"Such a great kindness, the Cheng family will never forget it."

Li Xian had no interest in arguing with Cheng Yaojin about these trivial matters, he frowned and leaned into his ear.

"General Cheng, be careful with your words and deeds."

Instead, let Cheng Yaojin and Li Jing talk, and then Cheng Chumo, who was on the side, pulled aside.

"In the future, I'm afraid that the tea business will not be profitable, and even if there is, we can only order a small amount of supply."

"Brother Cheng, Mr. Li has already made arrangements for the blacksmith shop, so we can only wait for the furnace to come out of the kiln to make a profit. I, Li Xian, owe the Cheng family the tribute tea."

"It's just that Li will be at the Prince Jin's mansion in the future. If there is an emergency, it won't be too late to find Li."

It has always been a flat life, and it has been a bit busy recently. Li Xian, the hands-off shopkeeper, felt uncomfortable, so he wanted to take the opportunity to escape.

The great work was done by the Cheng family, so it is natural to know that it was Li Xian who assisted him behind the scenes, and this time it is not good for Li Xian to do it himself, he put his arms around Li Xian's shoulders and said with a smile.

"Brother Li, thank you very much this time."

"For the matter of the workshop, Cheng will definitely be able to study hard and hurry up to produce."

"At least I won't disappoint Brother Li."

Just a few words is the last farewell. After all, one of them is going to supervise the work of the Ministry of Industry, and the other is going to develop in the workshop. Both of them are important positions, and they don't know when they will meet.

……

The autumn wind is bleak, rolling over the only dead leaf on the tree.

Amidst the swaying, the yellow leaves drifted away and fell to a brand new shop in front of the noisy long street.

The four big characters of Lu Yu Tea House are embedded with a black-bottomed plaque. The handwriting is neat and restrained, like a scholar who has read poetry and books, but has profound connotations and does not easily leak his talents.

Inside the house, lifelike picture scrolls are hung on the walls of the wooden house, the nanmu tables and chairs are square and elegant, and a preface to the Lanting collection in the hall is the finishing touch, which adds a bit of literary talent to the whole antique wooden house.

Green potted plants, without luxurious embellishments, but people can feel the strong aroma of books when they are in it. It is really an excellent place to taste tea.

Across the street corner, many people gathered together, looking at the newly opened shop, talking about it.

"The tea house? Which prince or lord opened this? The furnishings are simple, but there is a sense of nobility everywhere."

"Look at the scrolls of calligraphy and painting, all of them are from the hands of famous people in the past. If you can gather such calligraphy treasures, I'm afraid this imperial city will not find many!"

"Hearing what you said, the entire Cheng family was looking for shops in the city a few days ago. Could it be the eldest son of the Cheng family?"

"Hey! Don't say it's possible. I heard that the Cheng family was favored a while ago. It's very prestigious. If His Majesty rewards some calligraphy, it may not be impossible."

There was a lot of discussion on the street corner, all discussing the ownership of this tea shop.

The noble lady in Chinese clothes walked by gracefully, swaying her figure, stepped into the eye sockets of everyone, and said something lightly.

"If you want to know, why don't you go and ask?"

Cai Zhuang was so timid, he walked to the shop in three steps and knocked on the door.

"What about people?"

After the words fell, a figure dressed in silk came out, bowing gracefully.

"The store has not yet opened, and the tea products are still being prepared. Please wait for two days."

The woman glanced at this valuable young servant, she felt a little more afraid of the master behind her, and her words changed from the previous momentum, and softened.

"What kind of tea is being sold in the shop?"

The servant was very courteous, with a slight smile on his face, and a slight salute.

"Royal tribute tea."

"Open every other day, and only sell [-] pieces each time."

Hearing this, the noble lady's complexion turned pale, and she almost couldn't stand still.

How can this be consumed by ordinary nobles?
Royal tribute tea!

Even if they are among the princes of the imperial city, they might not be able to bear it even if they come every day!

Watching people behind him lined up.

"My God, this is tribute tea, something His Majesty tastes!"

"The people behind this are as capable as the sky. I'm afraid the Cheng family doesn't have the ability to open a family alone."

"Let's go away, let's go, those who can make tribute tea are living among the royal tributes and the folks, let's ask the smell, it can be regarded as the light of the sky, taste it? Don't think about it..."

Strange things are always spread quickly, and it seems that such a thing has been spread everywhere in the entire imperial city within a few days.

Poor people are mostly curious, wondering who will taste such expensive tea, and rich people often touch their wallets, imagining that they can have a seat on such an occasion to show their status.And the powerful ministers and aristocrats are already ready to move. After all, being able to step into such an occasion is either rich or expensive, and maybe they can knock on the door of their own promotion.
