Tang Dynasty good husband

Chapter 134 Chumo, come here! (ask for the first order!)

Pei Ji's purpose is very simple, which is to encourage Li Yuan to marry Qin Chao, so as to completely disrupt Li Shimin's arrangement.

Although the possibility of success in doing so is very small, Pei Ji still wants to do it.

And there is the shield of the Supreme Emperor in front, saying that Pei Ji is complaining about Li Yuan, and it is right to make trouble for Li Shimin with all his heart, and it is right to say that Pei Ji himself is dissatisfied with Li Shimin, so he is trying his best to make trouble for him.

After all, during Li Yuan's time, Pei Ji was the number one leader in the dynasty, whether it was family affairs or state affairs, Pei Ji could intervene.

After Li Shimin came to power, Pei Ji, an important court official who monopolized power, turned into a Chihuahua-like character in an instant, and it was completely normal for his mentality to explode.

Li Yuan did not listen to Pei Ji's persuasion, the person who was able to create the Tang Dynasty in the troubled times, even though he has lost power now, is by no means a person who does not understand the general situation.

This behavior of Pei Ji made Li Yuan a little suspicious, and Li Yuan, who had calmed down, had time to recall the previous events one by one. Li Yuan gradually understood what Pei Ji did.

Now Li Yuan doesn't move Pei Ji, just to find someone who can talk to him. It is already impossible for Li Yuan to follow Pei Ji's suggestion again.

And Li Yuan is more afraid of the family than Li Shimin. The Tang Dynasty was brought down by force and also with the support of the family. Li Yuan knows the ability of the family, so even if he is dissatisfied with Li Shimin at this time, Li Yuan will not He will hold Li Shimin back on this matter.

Pei Ji, who failed to get what he wanted, felt a little bit disappointed, but there was nothing he could do. Except for Yuwen Shiji, the three people present were all old guys who had lost their power. What else could he do other than sulk?
……

In the Cheng mansion, Cheng Chumo was still fiddling with the pressure well. The ground next to it was covered with cement blocks waiting to dry. The previous experiments all ended in failure.

Although the hardness is harder than any building material in the world, it still cannot meet Qin Chao's requirements.

As for Qin Chao, he is also happy to live such a life, living in Cheng's mansion, not worrying about food and clothing, and having spare money to do his own things, why not do it?
However, staying under the glass for a long time is not an option after all, so Qin Chao is more concerned about cement.

A rocking chair made of bamboo is covered with a thick layer of silk cushions, and a brazier is placed in front and on both sides to raise the surrounding temperature.

There was a table on the right hand side with several tea sets on it. A maid was making tea according to Qin Chao's instructions. The drowsy maid also confirmed how boring Qin Chao's way of making tea was.

The tea in the Tang Dynasty is not used to drinking. It has the sweet taste of Yi, the salty and astringent taste of salt, and the spicy and sour taste of pepper. Green onions, ginger, and garlic are all frequent visitors of ancient tea, and occasionally they will be added. Add some mutton oil, such a cup of tea, Qin Chao consciously has no life to enjoy.

After drinking it once at Qututong Mansion in Luozhou, Qin Chao never wanted to get close to this kind of tea again.

The tea that the maid is making now is tea in a pure sense. Qin Chao doesn't know how to make tea, but after getting addicted, Qin Chao can only drink some.

The method is the simplest, take off some of the tea cakes, but do not crush them, just throw them into the pot and boil.

Although the taste is worse, it is much better than the tea in Tang Dynasty.

Seeing Cheng Chumo scratching his head from time to time, Qin Chao continued to enjoy his beautiful life without any intention of stepping forward to interrupt.

Cheng Chumo, the water-lifting equipment for hand-pressed wells, has mastered all the production methods, but he is still very ignorant of the principles. Qin Chao can't explain some academic problems. Talk less and do less, so that you won't reveal your secrets , Qin Chao secretly praised his wit.

The peaceful and beautiful life has ceased to exist since Cheng Yaojin appeared.

Cheng Chumo dropped the hand-pressed well device he still didn't understand and stood beside Cheng Yaojin honestly.

'puff……'

Cheng Yaojin picked up a cup of boiling hot tea, but it didn't feel hot, he took a sip into his mouth, and it was sprayed out directly.

Putting down the teacup, he looked at Qin Chao with a strange look, and said, "What kind of tea is this? It tastes like a bird..."

Cheng Yaojin sat on the other rocking chair with his buttocks. With a little effort on his back, the rocking chair swayed back and forth vigorously, and he seemed to be enjoying himself.

"Uncle, this is the way to drink tea, but drinking tea according to the ancient method is a bit wasteful. The real tea should be roasted, and you only need to brew it with boiling water to enjoy it. Although the taste is light, But it has an unusual effect. Light tea can dilute and remove the oil in the body, thereby reducing the occurrence of diseases. In addition, it can also eliminate fatigue, refresh, improve eyesight, digest food, diuretic, prevent bad teeth (dental caries), Eliminate bad breath, etc..." Qin Chao explained the efficacy of tea in a good mood.

Well, in fact, it was to trick Cheng Yaojin into finding more fresh tea leaves, so that he could use them to develop the method of frying tea.

Tea was not cheap in this era, and it was not abundant in the Guanzhong area. In order to facilitate the transportation of tea to various places for sale, tea merchants processed the tea at the place of origin. Each piece weighed about one catty and was very convenient to carry.

The production method is also very simple. Put fresh tea leaves into the mold, then put a heavy object on top. After the tea leaves are dried, the tea brick is made.

"If it is really as miraculous as you said, how could the predecessors have not discovered it?" Cheng Yaojin said disdainfully, and then continued to exert strength, and the rocking chair swayed even more, and continued: "Today your father-in-law is here I read a book of yours in the court, and your words are very unpleasant, and His Majesty has no choice but to call you into the court tomorrow to confront him."

"En? Didn't uncle already ask someone to go to the palace to propose a marriage?" Qin Chao was stunned for a moment and said in astonishment.

Liu Cen was the first to say that he would be impeached, but this matter has no further details.

Unexpectedly, Wang Gui, a silent guy, was the first to impeach him. This made Qin Chao, who had never entered the center of national power, somewhat... flattered and humiliated?
"Well, I was rejected." Cheng Yaojin said calmly.

"Rejected? When did it happen?" Qin Chao was a little surprised, but it wasn't that Wang Gui refused, but because Mao himself didn't know anything?

"After the court yesterday!" Cheng Yaojin glanced at Qin Chao, and continued to ask: "Boy, are you afraid?"

"Afraid?" Qin Chao was slightly startled, and then said carelessly: "If the boy was afraid, he would not propose this marriage. The young lady of the Wang family is beautiful and well-educated. In ancient times, it would be a disaster for the country and the people. Well, it would be a disaster for the country and the people now. As an official of the Tang Dynasty, how can I let others do whatever they want? If I take the Miss Wang family this time, it will be a disaster for the country and the people, so let's do it for the kid..."

"Well, you have a future, the old man is optimistic about you!" Cheng Yaojin was so shocked by Qin Chao's shameless spirit, he glanced at Cheng Chumo standing behind him, and then at the objects all over the floor, He couldn't help but say: "Chu Mo, has anyone told you that decorating your home like this will make adults unhappy?"
