Chapter 119: It's time to harvest
The tea fragrance is everywhere, not strong, but the fragrance is unique.
At this time, many people were attracted by the fragrance and looked straight at Li Lingyue carefully pouring the tea in the teacup into the cup, while the tea residue was left in the teacup.
This is a kind of tea soup with a bit of turbidity, but it is crystal clear. At first glance, it gives people a comfortable visual enjoyment.
This... is also tea.
Many people's perception of tea has been shaken.
In this era when tea was still boiled, the turbid and strong tea water was the tea soup they knew. The fragrance exuded like this, and the elegant way to make tea, and the amber-like orange-yellow liquid immediately subverted all their understanding.
only……
Just by the elegance she showed just now and the refreshing fragrance, the refreshing fragrance that made people feel energetic is enough to make people feel the urge to taste it.
Wu Zetian looked at her daughter motionlessly. She could see the details of Li Lingyue's fingers trembling slightly when she picked up the teacup because she was scalded by the hot tea water. This detail was enough to impress any mother who was even cold and ruthless.
She saw the sweat on Li Lingyue's forehead gathering, slipping down the bridge of her nose, then condensed on the tip of her nose, and finally fell quietly to the ground.
Princess Tea…
Wu Zetian likes Buddha. People who like Buddha like tranquility, simplicity and elegance, and that faint feeling. Even if they eat and drink normally, they try not to eat meat. Therefore, Wu Zetian actually does not like tea because the tea in this era is really thick and the taste is too strong. But now, Wu Zetian can't help but feel shocked.
Because she smelled the fragrance of tea, and the fragrance of tea was so refreshing when she smelled it.
After all, Wu Zetian is old, and when she gets old, she will inevitably lose energy. But she has too many things to do and too many things to think about, and this sudden energy makes her feel more excited about this tea.
Li Lingyue took a small cup of tea and walked onto the imperial desk carefully.
Wu Zetian was busy getting up. She didn't want her daughter to work harder, so she took the tea.
The tea fragrance became stronger, but this fragrance did not look like incense. Although it was strong, it was still the same fragrance. Wu Zetian leaned over with the tip of her nose and took a sip. Suddenly... she felt refreshed. Wu Zetian's eyes lit up. She carefully pursed her lips and pursed the edge of the cup, and took a sip of tea very lightly.
A slight bitterness came into the tip of the tongue, and Wu Zetian frowned slightly, but... in an instant, a afterglow suddenly hit her taste buds, a clear and sharp feeling spread throughout her body, the tea entered her throat, and the afterglow began to echo. A mellow and sweet feeling appeared on the tip of the tongue.
This feeling is hard to describe, but there is a faint, faint sweetness, but also a little bitter. There is a fragrance between the mouths and mouths.
The feeling of being indescribable is this kind of indescribable feeling, but it gives people a taste of endless aftertaste.
Wu Zetian continued to drink.
The taste was different at this time, because the taste buds had already tasted that bitterness. Therefore, the bitter taste had dissipated, and followed by a strong mellow and sweet feeling.
Wu Zetian's eyes opened, and a hint of surprise flashed through her.
Besides, she rarely eats tea. Now, when she eats it suddenly, the strong impact makes her spirit look refreshed. After half a day of birthday celebrations, her fatigue is wiped out at this moment.
"Good tea, there is such a good tea in the world. Yue'er is delicious. This is princess tea, but was it created by Qin Shaoyou?"
Qin Shaoyou stood up with a tough bullet and said, "I am very ashamed. This is the tea I made unintentionally."
Wu Zetian hurriedly said, "Is there anything else? Give me a try?"
Then, she took Li Lingyue's hand and looked even more kind. Although this gift was not expensive for Wu Zetian, it was unique.
Li Lingyue is not a good person, and knows that he should use his trump card at this time: "If the Queen Mother likes to eat, I will brew it for the Queen Mother every day. Qin Shaoyou also plans to make tea with the Queen Mother. Even the Queen Mother likes it, and it will definitely be a best-seller in the future. Queen Mother... Are you watching the Queen Mother's business? Isn't it really rare? But, the Queen Mother always wants to do something to share the worries of the Queen Mother..."
Needless to say, these words were of course what Qin Shaoyou taught. The so-called two bed bugs are together and have similar smells. Li Lingyue tasted the sweetness from popsicles. The profits of this tea may be more abundant in the future. However, if you want to specialize in this kind of tea, if you do not have Wu Zetian's approval, there will be no guarantee. So at this time, taking advantage of Wu Zetian's happiness, you will naturally have to settle the matter quickly.
In fact, it was not a low point in this era. In the early Tang Dynasty, the status of merchants was even very high. After Li Yuan started his career in Taiyuan, a group of noble merchants recruited soldiers and made great efforts, including Wu Zetian's Wu family. At that time, the aristocratic families had a high status and basically controlled many businesses, such as the Cui family, which had controlled many businesses in Jiangbei. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the status of merchants was consolidated and even protected by law. The part of the Tang Dynasty involved merchants was extremely perfect. There were few types of commercial taxes, light burdens, and no donations were paid. Local officials dared to set up checkpoints and checkpoints in private, and they would be punished strictly.
What's more, because there were many foreign wars in the past few years, due to the expeditions that cost thousands of miles, many supplies and trophies were transported by merchants, and soldiers were equipped with weapons, food and grass to maintain themselves.
So it is not an exaggeration to Li Lingyue want to do some tea business at this time. You should know which of the people here are not from high-ranking families, but the family runs business? Just like Cui Xu, their Cui family has a lot of business.
Wu Zetian smiled, but looked at Qin Shaoyou, and there seemed to be a deep meaning in his eyes. The fat water did not flow into the fields of outsiders. No matter how stupid Wu Zetian knew that this kind of tea was so clever that instead of letting Qin Shaoyou get the benefits of five families, it would be better to let his daughter get the benefits.
What's more, the rumors are now clear, and Li Lingyue asked to do some business with Qin Shaoyou. If he doesn't agree, he will be suspected of ambiguousness between the two. The more he pretends that he doesn't care, he can completely break the rumors. So Wu Zetian said: "Since you have the will, you might as well let go."
Li Lingyue was overjoyed and said with a sweet smile: "Thank you, Queen Mother."
As they were talking, many eunuchs came in and began to make tea for the ministers present. They followed suit. After all, they were all exquisite people and their hands and feet were very agile, so they could roughly learn Li Lingyue's score. After a while, many people put a cup of tea on their desks.
Everyone was too late to wait and raised their glasses and drank.
Cui Feng slowly picked up the cup and looked at the crystal liquid without any impurities. He drank it in one sip, and his dim and unclear old face suddenly became different.
Cui Feng suddenly began to regret that this tea... is really a hundred times better than any tea I had eaten before. Whether it is the taste or the feeling of eating tea, there is an urge to make him fascinated. If Wu Zetian feels delicious, for him, this tea gave him a different meaning.
What a pleasure if...it would be... to eat such tea in your thatched cottage, while reading books, or chatting with friends.
Cui Feng slowly began to savor the aftertaste of the tea in his mouth. After a long time, he began to regret it again. If he had known that Qin Shaoyou had such tea, it would be better to win him over and trade tea with him. With the strength of the Cui family and the level of this tea, I am afraid that it would not take long to become popular inside and outside Luoyang.
He felt a little regretful and lost, but the fragrance brought by the tea still had not dissipated. Cui Feng had to look at Qin Shaoyou deeply, and couldn't help but admire the young man.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
But now, it is obviously not the time to admire it, because Cui Yue knew that he had something to do.
Even though Qin Shaoyou and Shangguan Wan'er have no affair, there is a big quarrel outside now. At that time, someone will definitely make a fuss about Qin Shaoyou's beating Zhou Xing. Wu Zetian asked Qin Shaoyou to visit him, and he hinted that he should come out to solve this problem. Things can't be disturbed anymore. If they make trouble, it will not be beneficial to everyone.
So Cui Feng stood up slowly and looked at Wu Zetian respectfully and said, "Sage, I have a word."
"Is that true?" Wu Zetian smiled faintly, asked someone to make another cup of tea, rubbed his fingers and said, "Your dear one, but it's okay to say it."
Cui Feng said seriously: "I heard that Qin Shaoyou beat Zhou Xing, the assistant minister of Qiu, but I don't know what happened?"
Cui Feng's sudden attack made the others' actions of drinking tea come to an abrupt end. Everyone cheered up and thoughtful.
There was no joy or anger on Wu Zetian's face, and she said lightly: "Don't Cui Qing know that Zhou Xing was convicted?"
Cui Feng shook his head and said, "Although Zhou Xing is guilty, even if his crime is so great, he has not been punished by the court. He is still the Minister of the Qiu Guan. Qin Shaoyou beat someone, which is a violation of the rules and regulations. If this matter is not punished, how can he convince the public? If everyone follows the example, how can this rules and regulations exist?"
Speaking of this, Cui Xu glanced at Qin Shaoyou and continued: "Besides, Qin Shaoyou is an academic official, and he is a noble and noble official. Such a move would be a disgrace to such a civility. It is really not worthy of being a saint. I beg the saint to dismiss Qin Shaoyou's position as Ph.D.."
Wu Zetian pursed his lips and was speechless.
Cui Feng knew that the time was coming for bargaining.
Of course he was not a very strong person. In this Great Zhou Dynasty, a person who was not good at compromise had already died a hundred times. The Cui family was able to continue today because of its huge family business and giving people enough shock, but also... it also relied on the art of compromise.
