A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Osmanthus should not be too thick." Gu Qing said and took some dried mint from Sun Simiao's room. Mint was used by Sun Simiao for herbal medicine.

After several times of fiddling, Gu Qing dripped out another drop for Li Zhi to smell, "How does His Royal Highness King Jin feel now?"

"Well, it's much better!" Li Zhi nodded, "The scent of osmanthus is weakened, and the dried mint is used so it won't be too cold, and the fragrance lasts for a long time."

"That's all." After Gu Qing prepared it, he prepared the cauldron and started to make it.

Li Zhi has been helping out with the gang, Gu Qing didn't hide it but taught himself very carefully.

"Gu Qing, you really don't plan to use this to make money?" Li Zhi was puzzled, "If this thing appears in the market, it will drive the women in Chang'an crazy."

"As the saying goes, if a good mountain is not high, it will be famous if there are immortals. If the water is not deep, there will be dragons." Gu Qing waited for the essential oil of the flowers to drip and said, "The so-called perfume is actually not difficult to make, but rare things are more expensive. , Only with perfume can you reflect the dignity of your mother's queen."

"If the mountain is not high, it will be famous if there are immortals. If the water is not deep, there will be dragons." Li Zhi thought, "Is that what you really mean?"

"Isn't it?" Gu Qing was puzzled.

"Probably not." Li Zhi thought and then stomped his feet, "Gu Qing, what perfume are you talking about, what a good sentence, why are there so many ambiguities in your hands! You..."

More than 30 bottles of perfume were made, and Gu Qing handed them all over to Li Zhi, "Take it to visit your mother."

"Okay!" Li Zhi understood Gu Qing's meaning, "But I have learned your perfume making method, so you are not afraid that I will steal your business in the future."

Gu Qing waved the fan in his hand, "His Royal Highness Jin Wang must want to hand over the method of making perfume to your mother."

"I really have thought about it." Li Zhi nodded.

"Then tell your mother." Gu Qing said calmly.

After thinking about it, Li Zhi always felt that something was wrong, and stomped his feet after careful consideration, "Gu Qing, are you using me again?!"

"His Royal Highness, you are overthinking!" Gu Qing put away the fan in his hand.

"You deliberately taught me how to make perfume. You know that I will definitely hand over this method to my mother, because I am a prince. I was taught by my father when I was in the Chamber of Commerce. You expected that I would not come to steal your business! Yes! No! You do this because you don’t want to make perfume for my mother in the future, because you are lazy! If you let me deliver it, you can also separate yourself from the harem from now on. Gu Qing, you are really calculating!"

"His Royal Highness, you have learned badly." Gu Qing said with a smile.

"Hmph!" Li Zhi stomped his foot unconvinced, slammed the door and left.

After taking a sip of hot tea, Gu Qing heaved a sigh of relief, Li Zhi is getting smarter and wiser, and he might not be able to bully him in the future.

Chapter 4 Sixty: Snow in Chang'an ([-])

The autumn wind in Chang'an was bleak, and Empress Changsun also received the perfume sent by Li Zhi, and immediately summoned the concubines in the palaces, and began to distribute perfume to them. stuffy.

"Young slave, what's the matter?" Li Er walked over at a leisurely pace.

"Father." Li Zhi hurriedly saluted.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Er looked at his youngest son and asked.

"My son can figure it out for himself." Li Zhi bowed and said, "Father, Gu Qing's boat has been out to sea for some time."

"I know." Li Er nodded, "There must be some news in a few days, tell me what you don't understand."

"It's still Gu Qing, I always feel that this Gu Qing is out of tune, but my son is sometimes unconvinced." Li Zhi said, "Will you say that if the mountain is not high, there will be immortals, and if the water is not deep, there will be dragons, good sentences. Gu Qing's mouth is always full of market spirit."

Li Er also shook his head and said, "Gu Qing is just an ordinary person who is too vulgar, but he also understands it."

"Sometimes I admire Gu Qing, sometimes I have nothing to do with him!" Li Zhi looked helpless.

"If you can see Gu Qing clearly, you will really be able to stand alone." Li Er continued, "You are a prince, you don't need to learn too much, but you must learn one thing, and that is to look at people! You have to look Clear everyone who follows you or does not follow you."

"My son understands." Li Zhi replied.

Li Er nodded, "Go back and rest earlier."

"My son will leave." Li Zhi bowed and left.

Looking at his youngest son from a distance, Li Er knew very well that Li Zhi was still too young, Li Zhi is only 14 years old now, and he still doesn't understand some things.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late." Wang Qin whispered.

"Go to Lizheng Hall for dinner." Li Er nodded.

When Concubine Wei came out of the Lizheng Hall, she bumped into Li Er's car, bowed and saluted in anticipation, but Li Er didn't even look at her when she entered the Lizheng Hall, and went back to her bedroom in silence.

Concubine Wei put down the perfume in her hand, and Empress Changsun distributed a bottle of perfume to each of them, this was to warn herself not to think too much, and to find her, the queen, if she needed anything.

Although he didn't say it clearly, his face still had a burning pain. As soon as his own family left the Gu family, the eldest grandson's empress's people arrived at the Gu family. Anyone with a discerning eye could clearly see the back and forth.

The country of Wa, at this moment, the war is raging here. Li Junxian and Shangguanyi led three thousand elite soldiers and [-] civilian husbands, marched forward triumphantly, and entered the hinterland of the country of Japan. At the same time, the king of Koguryo once again exerted his strength. Break through the coastline defense of the Wa country, and kill the land of the Wa country.

This is at the foot of a mountain. Shangguanyi made a big discovery. This mountain is connected to a small mountain range. Copper was found in the stones that fell from the mountain. This is not just a mountain range, it is a copper mine!

Li Junxian saw that Shangguanyi's map was drawn on the map he made, and he would draw a map all the way to the hinterland of the Wa country, marking several places on it, some places similar to ore.

"There are copper mines here." Shangguanyi said.

"Okay!" Li Junxian nodded, and ordered the soldiers around him to leave someone to take care of this place.

"Report!" A soldier came to report, "General, the village ahead has also surrendered."

There were wailing and screams everywhere Tang Jun went, Shangguanyi said in a low voice, "Hasn't the king of the Wa Kingdom sent a letter yet?"

"No." The soldier replied.

"Goguryeo is also launching a fierce attack on the Wa Kingdom." Li Junxian said, "It should be a mess at the moment. We will fight all the way in and take down the capital of the Wa Kingdom. I really want to bring a large army. The Wa Kingdom is really fertile. It's no wonder that Gu Qing will spend such a large amount of money to go to sea."

"There are still two months to go." Shangguanyi said, "We will return to the seaside in the middle of winter, and we will return in spring. It's just that we don't have enough manpower right now, and the wind direction can't return."

"You can go from Goguryeo." Wu Laoqi took this opportunity to speak.

Hearing these words, Shangguan Yimao suddenly realized, Li Junxian also understood, and immediately sent soldiers to pass the message to the other side of the Wa Kingdom.

When the northwest wind is the coldest, the winter in the Central Plains is also here.

Gu Qing looked at the dark clouds, and a heavy snow was coming. Sun Simiao packed the herbs and said, "It's just the beginning of winter. It seems that this year's winter will be difficult, and it will be even colder."

Today is a big day, Wu Mei is in the delivery room, the baby is about to be born, Gu Qing waited anxiously outside, he heard the baby's cry, and then he was relieved, and hurried into the room, the midwife hugged the baby and said, "Congratulations Hou Lord, it’s a young master!”

"Hahaha!" Gu Qing said with a smile, "There are rewards!"

"Thank you, Lord Marquis." The seven or eight midwives beamed with joy.

Holding the child, Gu Qing came to Wu Mei's side, "Girl, you look so much like you."
