"Hong'er, go get the charcoal stove from my room. I want to try osmanthus tea with my cousin."
The objects used by Wen Ziqiu were all very exquisite. Even the charcoal stove used to boil water was made of the finest golden charcoal.
The charcoal fire was lit, but there was not a trace of smoke in the room.
When making tea, Wen Ziqiu made tea for Ye Jintang himself without letting the maid come forward to serve him.
As soon as the boiling water was poured on the tea leaves, a strong scent of osmanthus filled the room.
“What a fragrant tea.”
"Our Wen family has been in the tea business for decades. The tea sent to us by the tea shop owner has always been the best tea. Even the emperor in the palace can drink it."
The two of them sat at the tea table and chatted.
Ye Jintang discovered that although Wen Ziqiu was young, he was a business wizard. He had many novel ideas, but these ideas were not recognized by the clan elders.
"The clan elders always defend the city blindly, but they don't know that sometimes the family business cannot be defended."
"Let's wait and see. Today's Holy Emperor is fatuous. Concubine Dehui has the final say on many things in the court. Even the disaster relief money and food for Yuezhou City some time ago were distributed by Concubine Dehui."
"If a country allows a noble concubine to control the government, it is likely that the people will rebel."
"The elders in the clan only want to please Concubine Dehui, but they don't want to think about the fact that neither of the two princes born to Concubine Dehui is an emperor. No matter which one of them ascends the throne, our Wen family It’s not a good thing.”
"Currently, the fourth prince is the most vocal. Many veterans in the court want the emperor to make the fourth prince the crown prince. Why doesn't my cousin think highly of the fourth prince?"
"The fourth prince is too tyrannical and greedy for beauty. How can such an emperor become a wise king?"
"Being a minister to such an emperor, you have to keep your head on your waist every day. You never know when your life will be at risk. If someone kills everyone again, the whole family will suffer."
Ye Jintang was surprised, Wen Ziqiu saw things very clearly.
In the original work, the fourth prince became emperor only a few years ago, and the court became chaotic. Later, someone rebelled, and his death as an emperor was not ordinary.
I have to mention Ye Yanran here. She, the queen, actually married a rebel and continued to be the queen.
That is really the emperor of flowing water and the queen of iron.
During the chat, Ye Jintang also felt that life was not easy for young Wen Ziqiu. The elders were like a big mountain, weighing him down and making it hard for him to breathe.
If Mr. Wen hadn't been alive and silently supporting him from behind, he would have been ignored by the clan elders long ago.
"The most effective way to deal with clan elders is to have absolute strength. Only when they are crushed by absolute strength can they completely listen to their cousin."
"this?"
Wen Ziqiu looked at Ye Jintang with some surprise. He really didn't expect that the weak Ye Jintang could say such words.
"I'm just talking casually. If my cousin thinks it's useful, he can use it. If he doesn't think it's useful, there's no need to think too much about it."
"These are all what I read from the story book."
Ye Jintang quickly added a few words, fearing that Wen Ziqiu would see some clues.
Her personality is completely different from the original owner's delicate and frail appearance. In order to prevent herself from being exposed, she still has to be careful.
"Sometimes the words in the book make some sense. Cousin, thank you for clarifying my doubts today. In the past, I always thought of putting the overall situation first and caring about the face of my ancestors. But now it seems that I still go too far. The heart is kind and the hand is soft."
Wen Ziqiu and Ye Jintang drank tea for a while, then hurriedly got up and left.
After he left, Ye Jintang didn't see him for a few days, but he still sent her small things from time to time as before.
Sometimes it's a box of snacks, sometimes it's a painting, and occasionally some small gold and silver jewelry.
Ye Jintang felt warm in her heart that such a cousin cared about her.
She has recently planted some fruits in her space, and she will also give some to Wen Ziqiu as a gift in return, so the two of them can be considered as reciprocating.
Ye Jintang has never been very satisfied with her physical fitness. As the weather gradually cooled down, she began to exercise in the yard.
Liuli saw Ye Jintang skipping rope in the yard, panting from exhaustion, and stepped forward and asked, "Girl, what are you doing?"
"Exercise your body. My body is too weak. I can't carry it on my shoulders or lift it with my hands. If the wind gets a little stronger, I don't dare to go out."
"I want to exercise more and make myself stronger."
"Have you ever heard of Baduanjin?"
"I heard about it."
"Ba Duanjin can also strengthen the body, and it is better than a girl who dances red-faced."
Ye Jintang had also heard of Baduanjin in her previous life, but she gave up after practicing it with her master twice.
At that time, she was very busy with work and was upset and agitated all day long, and could not calm down to practice Baduanjin.
Now that Liuli mentioned it again, she was very interested.
Ye Jintang now lives in the Wen family without too many worries, and his mentality is naturally incomparable to that of his previous life.
"I have practiced with the girl for a while, and the girl will naturally know the benefits of Baduanjin."
"Okay, then let's practice together."
The movements of Ba Duan Jin seem to be gentle, but after practicing one set, Ye Jintang is also sweating profusely.
"The girl's body is indeed a little weak. Why don't I give her a medicinal diet to strengthen her body and nurse her back to health."
"Can you also make medicinal meals?"
"My mother-in-law was injured during childbirth. She drank medicinal food for two years before she recovered. I serve my mother every day, and I also learned a bit about medicinal food."
"Okay, you can write a medicinal diet recipe and use all the precious medicinal materials that can be used to replenish my little body."
When Ye Jintang heard that he could recuperate his body, his eyes immediately lit up.
After she strengthens her fragile little body, she will find a martial arts master to teach her kung fu.
That day she saw Jiang Mo perform a set of flying knife skills, and she was extremely jealous.
She had been a surgeon for several years and still liked all kinds of knives very much. Unfortunately, she gave up medicine and went into business and never touched a scalpel again.
"There is a saying that goes well. What is weak cannot be replenished. The girl's body is a little weak and needs to be nursed back to health slowly."
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, as long as it can be nursed back to health within a year."
A year later, she was almost ready to marry King Qin and go to Ningchuanzhou together.
The climate in Ningchuanzhou was harsh, and she didn't want to fall ill as soon as she passed there. Only by having a strong body could she survive in the harsh environment.
Liuli not only knows Ba Duan Jin, but also Wu Qin Xi.
Practicing Ba Duan Jin every day is too boring, so he occasionally takes Ye Jintang to practice Wu Qin Xi together.
"Girl, you need to stand up with your hands straight and raise one foot, that's right. Don't let your arms dangle."
"It's too terrible for Golden Rooster to be independent. I still can't stand still for most of the day."
"It's okay. We'll get good at it after we practice a few times."
Ye Jintang was practicing vigorously in the yard when he saw Nanny Ji hurriedly coming from the front yard.
"Girl, Mrs. Gu is here with Miss Gu. The master asked the girl to meet her in the front yard."
