Wan'er pouted and said:
"What this slave said is true, and...and...Wan'er is not young anymore.
On Zhuangzi, many girls of the same age as the slaves are already married. "
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming joked: "Oh, what Wan'er means is that she also plans to get married?
If there is someone you like, tell the young master, and the young master will promise to prepare a generous dowry for you and marry you off in style. "
Since Wan'er came to the Qin family at the age of eight, she has never thought about getting married one day.
At first hearing this, I thought the young master disliked her. Tears fell instantly.
Sobbing, she said: "Master, do you dislike Wan'er? Wan'er promises to work more in the future and listen to the master in everything."
Wan'er can only eat one meal a day from now on.
Please don’t drive Wan’er away, okay? "
Qin Ming didn't expect that Wan'er would have such a big reaction to his unintentional words.
But I understand after thinking about it. After all, Wan'er has been in the Qin Mansion since she was a child and has always been a personal maid.
And if Wan'er really left him one day, he would definitely not be able to bear it.
Seeing the little girl's tearful eyes, Qin Mingye's heart ached.
He walked over, hugged Wan'er, held Wan'er's waist with one hand, stroked Wan'er's hair with the other, and said softly:
"Wan'er, be good. It's the young master's fault. The young master swears that he will never drive Wan'er away. Please stop crying, okay?"
But if one day you meet someone you like, you must tell the young master. What the young master just said is true.
Young master will not force you to stay with me for his own sake. "
At this moment, Wan'er only felt that the master's arms were so warm, and she wanted to be held by him like this for the rest of her life.
However, after listening to the young master's words, I still felt scared, so I buried my head in Qin Ming's arms.
In a voice that only he could hear, he murmured:
"Wan'er won't leave. Wan'er only likes the young master."
a while
Qin Ming saw that Wan'er had stopped crying, so he let go of Wan'er and said:
"Okay, silly girl, put the writing on the table away. When you get back from Chang'an, ask the craftsmen in Zhuangzi to frame the writing."
Wan'er had just left the young master's arms, and she felt a little disappointed. After hearing this, he quickly put away the words on the table.
After everything was packed up, Qin Ming took Wan'er to the restaurant for dinner.
...
Chang'an City, Tai Chi Palace, Li Zheng Palace.
A beautiful woman in palace attire was making clothes with needle and thread in her hand. This person was Wugu, the eldest grandson of Queen Wende.
At this time, outside the main hall, there was a sound of salutes and greetings from the palace maids.
"My slave, please see your majesty. May your majesty be safe."
"My slave, please see your majesty. May your majesty be safe."
Empress Changsun put down her work and looked up to see Li Shimin walking in with a package in his hand.
She immediately stood up and bowed: "I see you, Your Majesty. May your Majesty be safe."
When Li Shimin saw Empress Changsun making clothes, he quickly approached Empress Changsun and put down the package.
He took Queen Changsun's hand and said:
"Guanyin Maid, how many times have I told you not to call me Your Majesty in private.
I'm still used to hearing you call me Erlang. "
Empress Changsun stood up and smiled sweetly at Li Shimin and said, "Yes, I understand. Erlang."
As she spoke, she looked at the package brought by Li Shimin and said:
"Erlang, did you get anything out of the palace today? Hey, what are you holding in your hand?"
Li Shimin said:
"Well, there are some gains. I will tell you about these later.
This package contains a gourmet dish, as well as some new tea leaves. I specially brought something to eat with you, Guanyin maid. "
When they heard that there was food, the three girls standing outside the door immediately walked into the hall. The leading girl said:
"Father, is there anything delicious? Li Zhi also wants to try it."
Li Shimin turned around and saw Princess Li Lizhi of Changle, Princess Li Lixian of Chengyang and Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang walking in together.
Li Shimin smiled and said:
"Come here and try it together. But you guys have to wait a while, this dish needs to be reheated."
After saying that, he took out two mud lumps and asked the maid of Li Zheng Palace to roast them over the fire.
Princess Changle was a little confused when she saw her father taking out two mud lumps and asking the palace maid to heat them:
"Father, these are obviously two mud lumps, how do you say they are eating? Could it be that Li Zhi saw them wrong?"
Also confused are Queen Changsun and Princess Chengyang. As for Princess Jinyang, she is only three years old this year and is a snack.
Even if Li Shimin told her that the mud dumplings were delicious, she would still taste them.
When Li Shimin heard this and looked at it, Empress Changsun was equally puzzled and said:
"Guanyin Maid, this dish is very unique. The chicken is first wrapped in lotus leaves, then wrapped in mud, and then baked.
I also had it at Qinjiazhuang at noon, and it was delicious. These two are specially brought here for you to try. "
After hearing this, Empress Changsun suddenly realized, and then said:
"Thank you Erlang for thinking about me."
Li Shimin continued:
"In addition to the beggar's chicken, there are also some tea leaves. This tea is also very special. This tea does not need to be boiled, it only needs to be brewed with hot water.
I will also make you a cup to try this time. "
Queen Changsun heard this and said:
"Erlang, since we only need hot water to brew it, let me do it."
Li Shimin did not force himself and handed the tea to Queen Changsun.
After a while.
The tea soup was brewed, and everyone who was drinking fried tea for the first time couldn't help but be a little surprised when they looked at the clear tea soup.
At this time Li Shimin said:
"Come, let's all try it together."
As he spoke, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
Li Shimin put down his tea cup and sighed:
"It's really good tea. The more I drink it, the better it gets."
At this time, Empress Changsun also took a sip and said:
"Well, this tea is a little bitter at first, but after drinking it, it has a faint sweetness. It is indeed a good tea."
Li Lizhi also said:
"Yes, Father, this tea is very light. I think it tastes better than the previous tea soup. This is the real taste of tea."
Instead, Princess Jinyang on the side said:
"Sizi, I don't think it tastes bad. The taste is too bland. I don't like it."
Hearing this, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun both smiled slightly.
But then I heard Princess Chengyang say:
"Father, this tea is good, but it doesn't seem to be much at Father's place.
What will we do after we finish drinking? Is tea like this available in Chang'an City? "
Queen Changsun and Princess Changle heard this and looked at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin thought for a while and said:
"I heard from Mr. Qin that this was made by a maid named Wan'er in their family. By the way, the beggar's chicken was also made by that little girl."
After hearing this, Empress Changsun thought about it in her mind and said:
"Erlang, since we all think this tea is good, it should be very promising, and only Qinjiazhuang can make this kind of tea.
If you sell it in Chang'an City, it should be easy to make money.
It will be difficult to keep the internal funds this year until the end of the year. The royal family happens to have a few tea gardens that can be used to start this business with Qinjiazhuang.
Erlang, do you think this is feasible? "
