Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

A north wind blew up overnight, and it snowed heavily in Chang'an City.

Tai Chi Temple.

All the ministers took their seats, and Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair.

This summer, Li Shimin specially remodeled the Tai Chi Hall.

Heating pipes were installed inside, and the surrounding walls were rebuilt with cement bricks. In winter, it is very warm inside.

Every time he went to court, there were always some old and frail ministers who did not stand, so Li Shimin moved chairs, and everyone sat and talked.

"My dear friends, do you have anything to say?"

Li Shimin took a cigarette out of his pocket slowly and lit it.

A smoke ring spit out from the mouth, looking very comfortable.

The ministers were very surprised to see Li Shimin smoking, they had never seen cigarettes before.

Only Li Jing was not surprised, he had seen it in Yizhou City.

He also wanted one at the time, but Su Yu refused to give it to Li Jing, saying that smoking is harmful to health, so don't imitate it.

Li Jing thought it was Su Yu's stinginess and refused to give it.

When all the ministers were surprised, Cheng Yaojin also took out a pack of cigarettes and lighted it up slowly.

Taking a sip, he turned his head and sprayed it on Xu Shiji's face.

Xu Shiji took a deep breath, the smoke entered his lungs, and he choked.

"Cheng Mangfu, what are you doing?"

Xu Shiji was not happy.

Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "Mr. Ying, this is a cigarette. You haven't seen it before."

"It's uncomfortable when you first smoke it, but after you learn it, Bashi."

Cheng Yaojin took another puff, and slowly exhaled smoke rings, looking unpredictable.

These ministers are not fools, they have seen such a scene a long time ago.

"Your Majesty, where can I buy these cigarettes?"

Fang Xuanling asked.

Seeing someone asking, Li Shimin said with a smile: "There are shops in Chang'an City, and there are also Yongyangfang. They just went public not long ago."

"This thing, refreshing."

"When I'm tired of reviewing memorials at night, I'll take one to refresh my mind."

The ministers below already knew in their hearts that this cigarette must have Li Shimin's shares, so they promoted it so hard.

And Cheng Yaojin might have it too.

Cheng Yaojin echoed: "I've been studying until late at night recently, so I want to have one, and the learning effect will be doubled."

Du Ruhui sarcastically said, "Maybe drinking until late at night."

The crowd laughed.

Cheng Yaojin said disdainfully: "My old Cheng was better than you when he was motivated."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Yaojin said: "This stuff is most suitable for smoking when going to the toilet, it can cover the smell, and it's very relaxing."

This sentence touched the hearts of some veterans.

They are older and have trouble with the toilet and need this.

"Lu Guogong, are you serious?"

Yu Shinan asked.

Cheng Yaojin nodded, took out one and threw it to Yu Shinan.

"Keep you safe."

Yu Shinan picked it up, and Cheng Yaojin specially lit the fire for him.

After taking the first sip, Yu Shinan was choked to the point of tears.

"It's not easy to smoke."

Yu Shinan said.

The other ministers didn't expect cigarettes to be so bad.

Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "You are not used to it, but when you get used to it, you will find the beauty in it."

Yu Shinan took another sip and felt much better.

Seeing that the ministers understood the meaning, Li Shimin got up and said, "Okay, let's go back to buy cigarettes."

All the ministers withdrew from the Tai Chi Hall and went to buy cigarettes at the joint store of Li Shimin and Su Yu.

A few days later, Li Shimin asked about the situation.

The report said that under the encouragement of the minister, all those who heard Li Shimin's endorsement started smoking, and the sales quickly increased.

Li Shimin was overjoyed and waited for the money to be collected.

Lizheng Hall.

When Li Shimin came in, the queen was preparing gifts.

"Who are you giving presents to?"

Li Shimin asked.

The queen said: "How did the emperor forget that tomorrow is the day when Su Yuna Xueji will be a concubine."

Last time Li Shimin said that he would give Xue Ji the title of marquis, and then Su Yu would take a concubine again.

Su Yu has a special status, Changle and Xiao Sizi are both princesses, it would be difficult for Xue Ji to get in if she doesn't have a title.

Li Shimin patted his head and said, "Yes, I almost forgot."

The queen laughed and said, "It must be that the business is too profitable, the emperor forgot to count the money."

The queen knew about Li Shimin's tobacco business.

I heard it made a lot of money.

In addition to spending it myself, the rest is used for disaster relief.

Every winter, there are always people who suffer from disasters.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Don't say it, this kid's tobacco really made me a fortune."

The queen's gift is sealed.

"What gift does the emperor prepare?"

the queen asked with a smile.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "I told Eunuch Gao to prepare to go. Since I met Su Yu, Xue Ji has taken care of us a lot."

"Changle and Xiao Sizi were brought up by her and must be given away."

Speaking of Xue Ji, both Li Shimin and the queen praised her highly.

"By the way, who did Su Yu notify?"

Li Shimin asked.

The Queen said: "It's the few ministers who often come and go to Sujiazhuang on weekdays, and no one else will participate."

"The other is the people in Zhuangzi."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Of course the officials from Sujiazhuang participated."

The queen smiled and said, "In this way, half of the ministers in the court have participated."

There are many officials from Sujiazhuang, and they are all important positions.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "That is."

"Tomorrow, let's go together."

The queen agreed.

Sujiazhuang.

The heavy snow fell, and the land in Guanzhong was completely white. Sujiazhuang stood there, and the red lanterns and red flowers looked particularly festive in the snow.

The village is full of excitement, adults and children are busy.

Today is the day Xue Ji marries Su Yu.

Although she is a concubine, in the eyes of Sujiazhuang people, Xueji is the most qualified to marry Su Yu.

In terms of appearance, Xue Ji did not lose to anyone.

In terms of talent, Xue Ji is taking care of the affairs of Sujiazhuang.

Especially Xue Ji took care of Su Yu since childhood.

People in Zhuangzi had long hoped that the two of them could become a pair.

It's just that after Su Yu married several princesses in succession, everyone felt that Xue Ji had a humble background after all, and they were afraid that she would have no fate in this life.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin suddenly made a marquis.

Hearing that Xue Ji was going to marry Su Yu, the people in the village were overjoyed.

Aunt Song held a big iron basin to pluck chicken feathers, squatted on the ground and smiled, "This girl Xue Ji has achieved a good result."

Aunt Li echoed, "That's right, she is busy with everything in this village."

Aunt Song smiled and said: "If you want me to say that Xiao Li should have given our Xue Ji the title of Marquis long ago, it was delayed until now."

Everyone is very happy when you say something to me.

In the room, Chang Le and Xiao Sizi were putting on makeup for Xue Ji.

"Bring that purple gold crown here."

Chang Le said.

The girls in Zhuangzi filled the room, all helping.

Holding a purple gold crown and putting it on for Xue Ji, it looks extremely rich.

"My little brother and I pooled money to make this. How about it? Isn't it very expensive?"

Chang Le laughed.

Everyone said Xue Ji was so beautiful today.

"Sister Xueji is really beautiful today."

"This purple gold crown is so luxurious."

The women laughed.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin and a group of important officials who often went to Sujiazhuang entered Sujiazhuang.

And Li Xiaogong came over in a carriage. The last time he had surgery, it was thanks to Xue Ji who took care of him.

Wei Wang Li Tai studied medicine in Sujiazhuang, so he naturally participated.

All the officials in Sujiazhuang asked for leave to attend the wedding.

Because it was winter, the wedding was held in the auditorium of Sujiazhuang.
