Zhang Dashu, who was not driving in Suzhou, was an accompanying officer. Hearing that Li Yuanxiang wanted to go to Sumen Island, he silently clenched his fists: Your Majesty, you must agree to King Jiang's request. I really don't have the energy to look for him anymore. He disappeared. he! If you don't agree, one day he will get lost again and run to Yizhou. Should I look for him or look for him?
"Brother, drink tea." Zhang Da'an, a member of Prince Teng's family, poured a cup of freshly brewed tea and placed it in front of Zhang Dashu, with a hint of reminder in his tone.
No matter how unreliable Prince Jiang is, he is still His Majesty's biological brother and a genuine Prince of the Tang Dynasty. Besides, he was not simply lost. The second brother was more or less like a ghost.
Zhang Dasu pretended to glance at Li Yuanying casually, picked up the teacup and drank tea...looked at Zhang Daan in surprise, and asked for confirmation: "Orchid fragrance?"
"This tea comes from Nan'an, Quanzhou. It is fragrant, strong, mellow, and sweet. The water is preferably stone spring. It still has a lingering fragrance after seven brews. It is called Oolong." Zhang Da'an filled the pot with water and explained softly. "The teapot is made of purple clay found in Yixing County. When brewing tea in a purple clay teapot, the tea will be rich in color and fragrance. It will not go rancid over time in the summer months. Even if it is left unused for a long time, it will not be contaminated with harmful odors."
If there is any unpleasant smell, just fill it with boiling water before use, pour it out immediately, and then rinse it in cold water. The vitality will be restored and the tea will still have its original flavor. When you make tea for the first time, the whole teapot is like steaming steamed buns that have just come out of the cage. The best ones even have "sweat beads" condensing on them.
None of the above is the point. The point is the discovery process of purple clay. When King Jiang was chasing wild boars, he accidentally discovered purple sand mud. He thought its color was very unique, so he brought back two boxes and gave them to King Teng. King Teng gave the mud to Du Shaoqing, who studied it and gave it to Xiao Sima.
Xiao Sima made a teapot in the style of a bucket with a small top and a large bottom. It is square in shape and has a circle in it. It is engraved with running script: There is no labor shape on the case. After the firing was successful, King Teng couldn't put it down and played with it for three days and sent someone to send it to Chang'an. His Majesty asked the young governor to open a kiln and bake pots in Yixing, and prohibited private mining of purple sand mud, which was hard to find.
Zhang Dashu: "..."
The purple clay teapot is made from Yixing purple clay. It’s not about the two big boxes of mud that King Jiang insisted on bringing back, right?
Abba Abba Abba? ? ?
"King Jiang once saw a mountain stream with rocks stacked like a city, which were clean and lovely. He brought some of them back and said that he would give them to Prince Teng." After Zhang Dashu drank three cups of tea, his mood calmed down and his brain could function normally. His curiosity Gradually, he asked.
The reason why I thought of those square creek stones first is because they are indeed as dense and soft as jade, and their green-black surface is dotted with gold dots. Some are as small as dust and sand, and some are as large as grains; It is also like the slanting wind and drizzle, or the heavy rain hitting the banana trees. It gathers and disperses differently and has different shapes.
"Prince Teng personally carved the inkstones and gave them to His Majesty, Duke Yu and Duke Ouyang respectively." Zhang Da'an pushed the tea in front of Zhang Dashu and reminded him with a smile. "Use some sweets to avoid tea drunkenness."
Seeing Zhang Dashu pick up the tea, he continued: "Yu Gong spoke highly of the inkstone, saying that it produces ink like an oil pen without any damage and can be cleaned immediately. Ouyang Gong said that it can also store water in the cold winter without freezing, and it can store water in the midsummer. The advantage of not being corrupted.”
The eldest brother has inherited the title of Duke of Tan. As long as he doesn't do anything too outrageous, even if he can't be a minister, there is still no problem in becoming a minister of the Ministry of Rites. They do not have the capital to be willful, especially this kind of willfulness that has nothing to do with government affairs.
"Farewell Zhang, please come and have a meal." Cui Xingzong walked over with a tall and elegant figure, a standard polite smile on his face, showing eight white teeth, which matched well with the autumn sunshine and could blind the eyes.
With King Jiang's character, it was impossible for his subordinates to come back to the dock after lunch. His Majesty originally did not want to take King Jiang with him. He was worried that he and King Teng would combine to "poison" Qiantang City. He was even more worried that he would accidentally get lost and "take" King Teng to Yizhou. He would also look for him in three to five years. There is no way back.
"Thank you, Cui Sheren." Zhang Dasu hurriedly stood up and bowed his hands. Biejia's rank was indeed higher than that of the Prince's Mansion, but Cui Xingzong was born in the Boling Cui family, and his mother was the Princess Zhending... It's not surprising that so many people greeted him. , making two more bows is nothing.
Zhang Da'an shook his head secretly. His brother's behavior was a bit eccentric. To use the common expression of Prince Teng's house, he said: You are so arrogant that you have low self-esteem, you are so low-esteem that you are a little wretched, and you are so wretched that you are a little arrogant.
As Cui Xingzong walked, he introduced water shield whitebait soup and wine-steamed white fish.
There are also spicy river shrimps... He sat down at the dining table and just finished the introduction. He said with a smile: "The dishes on Suiyuan's menu are getting more and more abundant. Zhang Biejia will definitely go down in history with Jiang Wang's menu. I'm so envious." Shame on others."
Da'an's elder brother is quite a good person. Not to mention other abilities, his ability to find people is definitely among the top five in the Tang Dynasty. No matter where Jiang Wang wanders, he can find it in the shortest time, only a little slower than Xiao Shiyi, but Xiao Shiyi cheated... To be more precise, he has a plug-in that allows him to fly with his sword.
Zhang Dashu: "..."
This opportunity is given to you, do you want it?
…
"I've given you the opportunity. Whether you can seize it or not depends on your ability." Qu Zhaorong smiled like a flower, picked up a melon seed, put it gently into Xu Zhaoyi's hand, and said slightly provocatively.
Originally, His Majesty only wanted to take her with him, but Xu Hui took a letter and said with tears in her eyes that she was worried about her sister. She had not seen her for several years and wondered if she was still as lively and lovely as before. His Majesty felt soft-hearted and agreed to take her with him. He also said that having Emperor E'e and her daughter by his side could be regarded as imitating the sages.
"What my sister said is so strange, I can't understand it." Xu Hui let the melon seeds fall back to the lotus celadon plate, raised her hand to brush her temples, and smiled timidly, like a little white lotus just out of the water.
"I heard from my Ayan that Qu Sanniang is still the chief kabuki actor and has not been able to become a wife. Qu Zhaorong should be more attentive to prevent her from wasting her best years and having to fill a house for someone else."
Even if she is willing to fill a house, she still cannot marry into a good family. Princess Chang Le is not a fool and will not make calculations about losing money. Besides, she is not her biological daughter, so of course she wants to maximize her profits.
There was a flash of coldness in Qu Zhaorong's eyes, like a wolf on the grassland staring at the herd of yellow sheep. He had enough patience and perseverance, and was always ready to bite him when the opportunity came... He pulled out the golden hairpin on his head and ran his fingers across the cold Jade smiled brightly and openly and said: "I don't dare to bother Zhaoyi with all the troubles about my sister's marriage. Your Majesty will definitely find her a suitable husband. I heard that Prince Teng helped her prepare all the county affairs." The dowry regulated by the Lord will be cheaper for some young man."
Haha, it is true that Sanniang is in charge of kabuki theater, and the pavilions in Hironezawa and Hongze Lake are also under her control. How can she be compared to that silly Xu family? The two sisters are not very clear-headed, so it is no wonder that they were tricked into being unable to reincarnate. It is better to think about how to raise a parrot to relieve boredom than to rely on men's guilt to win favor.
"The dowry regulated by the county chief?" Xu Hui's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief.
