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

Chapter 131
The sun rose in the sky, casting shadows on the gazebo.

Among the vines climbing up the gazebo, there are birds chirping, excitedly tumbling to eat the fruit, or flying away with small dead branches in their mouths.

Li Xian was listless and half lying on the seat, his whole body was paralyzed, his limbs were hanging down.

Li Er, the robber, snatched his glass and took away the freshly brewed tea.He also dropped the offering of two boxes of tea leaves for one month, and left happily.

This was a pain for Li Xian who concealed the truth. Thinking of this, Li Xian felt distressed. Even if it was a small box containing rare treasures, there were not many boxes.It would take half a day for me to toss around.

Fortunately, Li Er discovered his conscience this time, and promised to use half of Huangzhuang's tea as compensation.Only then did Li Xian feel slightly comforted in his heart.After all, tea trees need to be pruned every three to five years to preserve their quality.There are some specific tea trees in later generations, which are picked once a year.The quantity is difficult to guarantee, of course, it will be different if there is supplementation from Huangzhuang Tea Garden.

"You didn't say it yourself, you have to suffer yourself."

Li Zhi glanced at the weak figure, carefully inspected the place that Li Xian had pinched, and added another sentence.

"If you had said it earlier, maybe the emperor would be able to provide some money and silk to hire more craftsmen."

"Look! It's all going to fall on your head now, let's fry it slowly."

Li Xian squinted this eye slightly, glanced at Li Zhi beside him, and breathed out from his nostrils.

"Hmph! It's easy to say."

"Your father is a master who eats and drinks for nothing. Want to deduct some money from his teeth? It's a good idea!"

"How many times have you eaten barbecue, how many times have you eaten fried vegetables? Have you seen him say thank you? Didn't he wipe the corner of his mouth, slap his ass and leave?"

Li Zhi, who is favored now, must be displeased after hearing Li Xian's words, and the corners of his mouth curled up to fight back.

"Then who can blame? You don't tell me yourself, but you still bully me!"

"Being punished by the emperor is what he deserves."

During the debate, a muffled but unusually long voice came from the front yard.

"Mr. Liu of the academy pays homage to the mansion, and pleads guilty to Mr. Li."

The quarrel gradually subsided, and the two pricked up their ears to hear the voices outside the mansion, looked at each other, snorted, and looked away at the same time.

Li Zhi waved the servant's report, and after a while, an old man with gray beard came slowly.

Passing the corner of the corridor, seeing Li Xian getting up, Mr. Liu hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and saluted.

"Liu has come to make amends to Mr."

Just as he was about to bow down, he was supported by Li Xian, who welcomed him to the stone bench and sat down.

"Old Liu is the master of the academy, and he represents all the beings in the academy. How can he salute like a student like me?"

"Can't stand it, can't stand it."

A casual sentence invisibly made the misunderstanding between the two fade away a lot. Mr. Liu's heart felt hot, and a smear of guilt appeared on his face. He grabbed Li Xian's arm and patted it.

"Mr. Li is generous, and he has reached the pinnacle of mathematics, which is really admirable."

"Hey, the old man is superficial."

Mr. Liu continued to speak the respectful words interrupted by waving his hand.

"After thinking about it, the old man, what Mr. Li said earlier makes sense."

"If you have the heart to explore knowledge, but don't put it into practice, it's just a guise of practice, eating more free food, and consuming the national treasury."

"Today, the old man is willing to be educated with humility and learn from Mr. Li the knowledge that will benefit the people of the Tang Dynasty..."

The nagging words lingered in his ears, and Li Xian didn't listen to the following words at all, but it seemed that Liu Lao seemed to be genuinely moved.

"Mr. Liu wants to combine arithmetic with life?"

"Please enlighten me, Mr. Li."

"Do you want to build chimneys?"

Mr. Liu was a little dazed. Chimneys are not uncommon. Is there any knowledge in this?

He stroked his beard under his jaw and said solemnly.

"Can the old man learn some knowledge?"

Li Xian frowned, his face solemn.

"Yes, measuring angles, cutting edges, and calculating dimensions, these are all knowledge."

A flush of excitement gradually appeared on the old man's face, and Mr. Liu nodded slightly.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Li, the old man will pick up a group of smart disciples when he returns home."

Watching the old man go away in a hurry, it seems that there are words floating in the breeze.

"Liar, liar, how could you fool yourself into the academy..."

"Father, if he finds out that you tricked the pillars of the Tang Dynasty into the workshop, I'm afraid he'll be pissed off.

……

A sneeze.

Li Shimin who had just stepped into the palace sneezed.

Looking at the treasure-like cup in his hand, he raised his thick eyebrows.

"You, Li Xian, are really stingy. I just took you a cup of tea, but is it worth thinking about you so much?"

"Hmph! It seems that these two boxes of tea leaves are not enough!"

In the words, walking up the corridor, I saw a figure stepping out of the threshold and stepping on lotus steps.

"My concubine has seen Your Majesty."

Looking at the smiling figure, Li Shimin felt more at ease.

"Guanyin maidservant, here we come."

"How is your recovery now?"

In recent days, he was busy with the reconstruction of the north, and he didn't go to the Lizheng Hall for a long time. Looking at the figure next door, Li Shimin felt somewhat guilty.

Empress Changsun raised her rosy cheeks and responded gracefully.

"Thanks to His Majesty's concern, I have taken two doses of the medicine stone sent by Li Xian, and it is almost healed."

"A few days ago, Li Xian took the time to visit the concubine once, and said that after a few days of acupuncture, he would be fully healed, as long as he rested with peace of mind."

Hearing this, Li Shimin's heart also settled down, and Long Yan was very happy.The cup in Yang Yang's hand.

"I got a treasure today, and I will share it with Guanyin's servant later."

In fact, Empress Changsun had already seen the cup, and when she heard Li Shimin talking about it this time, she swept her eyes and was very surprised.

"What is this?"

"Bicui is transparent and clear in color, but what kind of panacea?"

It seems to be rhetoric, but it is actually more pleasant than rhetoric!Li Shimin laughed, and took the cup carefully.

"It's no exaggeration to say it's a panacea!"

"It is fragrant and mellow and long-lasting. This is Li Xian's new invention, clear tea."

"In the future, we won't have to drink those sticky teas in the court. I order Li Xian to offer two boxes every month. One box is for the royal family and the other box is a reward from the court."

During the words, the two had arrived at the Tai Chi Palace.

Empress Changsun took the cups and poured tea, pushed a cup to Li Shimin, and sat beside the emperor herself, went to take a sip.

There were some doubts before, but when the tea entered, her beautiful eyes lit up.

"This kind of beautiful thing rewarding courtiers is no worse than playing with gold, silver and jade!"

"This Li Xian is really a strange person, how could he invent such a wonderful thing!"

The two of them chatted about some homely things, drinking tea in general, and Empress Changsun just got down to business.

"When Li Xian is mentioned, the concubine thinks of the marriage. I don't know when His Majesty will grant the marriage?"

Li Shimin squeezed the cup, put it on the desk, and said with a smile.

"It depends on how the quality is determined. I have no second opinion."

The marriage was considered to be a conclusion, Empress Changsun put down her teacup, frowning slightly.

"Recently, Zhi'er mentioned one thing to his concubine."

"The concubine also can't make up his mind, so I came here today to let His Majesty make a decision."

"About a sale."
