Chapter 362: Full Fire

Zhang Sizhi left, and Yang Wang's family lectured the maids and mothers-in-law around him, as if he was a housewife. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The maids and ladies have just experienced terrible things, and they have seen the powerful methods of the six rooms, and at this time, the six ladies admonished, and they all kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said yes again and again.

"Everyone's hearts are like mirrors, and since this is the case, let them go their separate ways. Yang Wang waved his hand, motioned for everyone to retreat, and instructed the housekeeper to invite the immortal to Qiufeng Garden to clean up, so as not to let unclean things disturb Mrs. Tai.

After ordering everything, Yang Shuyue had warmly invited General A Nian to go to the sixth room for dinner.

Ah Nian was not polite, and immediately said that he had been working non-stop to investigate the case, and went to Yang Shigui's house to investigate the matter of Yang's Yuanshu, but he really didn't care about eating, and he was hungry.

"Besides, I heard that Yang's six-room new dishes are emerging one after another. Now, I am more respectful than obedient. He said, his eyes swept over.

Jiang Chengzi pretended not to see it, and only said to Xiao Lingling: "Sister-in-law, you will also eat in the sixth room today." ”

"Yes, I originally planned to invite my aunt to join me, but now that the old lady is not in a good condition, I don't dare to disturb it. I had to wait two days to invite my aunt. Yang Ruyu also interjected.

Xiao Lingling was originally an extremely assertive person, but from this morning to now, she feels like she is in a dream.

Aunt Fang has always been powerful, and she usually has to let this woman talk and do things. Even his mother-in-law has never been this Aunt Fang. This mother-in-law is not only the old lady's right-hand man, but also deeply appreciated by the Yang Elder Association, neat in everything, and has her own power.

Originally, she was still worried about being in power in the future, how to clean up this mother-in-law, and see that the mother-in-law was so tough that she didn't know how many years she would live.

can go from the sixth room to Aunt Fang's fufa, which is only half a day. It's so powerful, it's scary, and Aunt Fang, who controls how many lives of the Yang family, kills-

And from beginning to end, the sixth room was in the upper hand, and it didn't suffer any losses.

Xiao Lingling was a little confused as if she was in a dream, and she was stunned when she was invited to lunch by the sixth room, and she didn't know whether she should go or not.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" asked Yang Ruyu.

Xiao Lingling shook her head and said, "It's just a little tired." ”

"My sister-in-law has been working hard for us to go back to our ancestral home, and I got up early today, so I must be tired. Yang Wang affectionately took Xiao Lingling's hand and said, "The children are not sensible, but you don't have to be embarrassed, and go back to rest." Tomorrow, I will have a dinner party prepared and invite your family to come. ”

"Yes, Aunt Six. Xiao Lingling bowed, "Lingling will go back and talk to her husband and mother-in-law." ”

"Go ahead. Yang Wang's face smiled lovingly, as if Fang Cai's-for-tat confrontation with Aunt Fang was someone else's illusion. The maid who witnessed the whole process felt a chill down her spine.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After Aunt Fang's affairs were dealt with, the sixth room of the Yang family no longer bothered the old lady. Originally, I got up to ask the old lady to say goodbye, but unexpectedly, the invitation failed, but such a big event happened. All of a sudden, all the rooms of the Yang family felt the horror of the powerful six rooms, and everyone was in danger, so they had to close the door to discuss how to treat the six rooms.

The six-room is from Qiufeng Garden straight back to the six-room house.

The subordinates of the sixth room have already begun to prepare lunch, and the specifications of lunch still follow the standard system of Jinyuan County. Because it is a wealthy family, the rules cannot be abolished. Ordinary meals are divided into separate systems, one table per person, one person for various dishes, one plate, one bowl, one small pot, etc.

After waiting for the people to return to the sixth room, the people had already set up the tables and chairs, and the tableware was washed and ironed. Yang Shuyue ordered someone to set up a table for Ah Nian, and then ordered someone to open a meal.

After eating, it is the usual time for tea and drinking. Yang Shuyue, Yang Qingrang and Jiang Chengzi often have to read and write, and if they don't have the habit of taking a nap, they will make tea after lunch to discuss major events in the world, or the way of benevolence. And Yang Wang, Yang Ruyu and Xiuhong's mother and daughter all have to take a nap to maintain their beauty, and they drink alcohol after lunch. But this wine is not the bland wine in the wine shop, but the cocktail of various fruit wines brewed by Jiang Chengzi himself.

Originally, she had nothing to do in the summer, and when she saw that Jinyuan County was rich in all kinds of fruits, she picked some to make fruit wine to taste, but she was unexpectedly liked by the female dependents, so she took Yang Ruyu, Yunzhu, Zhou Mama and Xiuhong mother and daughter to make some. As for the practice, it must not be disseminated.

"Why?" asked Xiuhongsheng's eldest daughter.

"Second sister, the so-called secret recipe is the method that is not passed on. This fruit wine making is one of the secret methods of the Yang family's six-room daughters, and if it is needed in the future, it can also become a means of livelihood. Jiang Chengzi said.

When the sisters heard this, they didn't know why. Making a living or something, it's really a distant thing for the ladies who live in the famous family.

However, the down-and-out Yang Wang, Mama Zhou, and Xiuhong, who was struggling to run a family in the ancestral house, all nodded with deep sympathy.

"Ah Zhi is thoughtful and takes a long-term view. Woe and blessing rely on, blessing and misfortune rely on. This prosperity is also to prevent decay. It's good, it's good. Yang Wang sighed.

Xiuhong couldn't help nodding and said, "This fruit wine is delicious and soothing, and it won't hurt your body, it's really a jade dew." This kind of secret recipe is the treasure of the sixth room, the daughter of the sixth room will marry in the future, don't say that she is down-and-out to make a living, when she is in the scenery, she takes it out at the banquet of her husband's house, and she also has a long face. ”

Mama Zhou was also excited that Miss Nine could tell her such a secret recipe.

Jiang Chengzi didn't say that he made fruit wine because he was greedy. Since the value of this fruit wine has risen to the height of the secret recipe of the six chambers, it must be the secret recipe.

"But, why can't tea become a secret recipe?" Yang Ruyu suddenly thought of the tea drinking style that has become popular in Chang'an, Luoyang, Yangzhou and other major cities. This is from the Yang family's six rooms, which is led by the Yang family's six rooms, and is a must-have for the wives of Yizhou officials and nobles.

"How is it not a secret recipe? Can they make it?" Jiang Chengzi asked rhetorically.

Yang Ruyu was silent, don't say that it was someone else, it was Jiang Chengzi who taught her by hand, and she didn't learn it. She felt that tea picking was the work of inferior peasants, and the nobles disdained it, and that the method of making tea was much more difficult than playing the piano and embroidery. Therefore, she only learned the elegant tea ceremony. Because in her opinion, it is an extremely elegant thing, and it can bring the true cultivation of the famous family to the extreme.

Yang Ruyu was silent, and Jiang Chengzi continued: "This style of eating tea has existed since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the upper class scholars all respect eating tea. It is rumored that Sun Hao of the Three Kingdoms even gave tea to his subordinates. Moreover, the demand for tea among ethnic minorities is huge. ”

"I don't understand. Yang Ruyu shook her head.

"The reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to defeat the Xiongnu was due to the cavalry of Huo Qubing and Wei Qing. But when it comes to horses, they have to be Western horses. The eldest sister grew up in the deep boudoir, and she didn't know that in this trade, tea was a sought-after commodity, even if the Hu people exchanged it for a high-headed horse, they were willing. Jiang Chengzi said.

Yang Ruyu said "oh", in fact, she still didn't quite understand, but she just didn't want to continue. In the past, she felt that she was gifted and intelligent, and even the teachers in the clan studies praised her. But since A-Niang and her younger siblings came back, she felt that she was the most ordinary person in the six rooms, and she often felt panic and inferiority.

"Ayu. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, just learn it. In the future, I have to look at the history books, which is always of great benefit. Yang Wang suggested.

"Yes, A-Niang. Yang Ruyu replied obediently.

Jiang Chengzi said again: "This tea is extremely liked by the Hu people, and sooner or later the imperial court will be included in trade." Rather than when the tea-making process of the six rooms is codified, it is better to use it as a research institute now, and also increase the weight of the father and eldest brother to enter the court as officials. Besides, even if this tea production is widely spread, who can make such a high-quality product as Yang's Liufang? What's more, even in the future history, when it comes to tea, it has to be said that it is the craftsmanship of my Yang's Liufang. ”

"What Ah Zhi said is very true, this will go down in history in the future. "Xiuhong has rarely spoken since she returned to the sixth room, and this time she also agreed.

"Don't say that in the future, it is now, you see how many noble ladies in Yizhou have befriended us, and they want this tea craft openly and secretly. Moreover, looking at the major cities, Azhi's tea making method is popular. Mama Zhou was very excited.

Jiang Chengzi saw that everyone was quite excited, but he smiled and said, "You can rest assured, in the future, the Gewu Academy will be established." There are many more rarities in this world. ”

"Ah, that's excellent. The ladies of the six rooms smiled.

It was also from that time that the people of the Yang family's sixth room, if they wanted to continue to deal with affairs after lunch, they would burn incense and drink tea, and chatted casually. If you want to take a lunch break, you will drink a glass of fruit wine and fall asleep peacefully.

Today, Liufang got up early in the morning, and after such a battle of wits and courage, everyone was tired.

It's just that the sixth room has returned to the ancestral house, and now it is considered to be a return to the hometown, and the Yang family's other room will definitely have to make a move, and I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep in this nap. But Yang Wang said that he was sleepy and tired on the way back, and he didn't want to greet irrelevant people today, especially those concubines, who wanted to take a nap.

Yang Shuyue loved his wife, and immediately said that the female dependents were resting, and only let Yang Qingrang greet the guests with him. Of course, General A Nian was a guest at this time, so after lunch, he urged a female family to rest, invited General A Nian to move to the flower hall, and ordered the maid to boil water to make tea.

The maid who made tea was named Ming Qing, who was personally selected and trained by Jiang Chengzi, and her gestures were picturesque. As soon as the Yang father and son and General A Nian sat down, Jiang Chengzi followed with his skirt.

"Ah Zhi, is there anything else?" Yang Shuyue asked in surprise.

Jiang Chengzi shook his head and said, "I can't sleep in the afternoon, I have a lot of things to deal with." ”

"I slept late last night, I woke up early today, and you've been tossing all morning, and you're very tired. Yang Shuyue felt very sorry for his daughter.

"Father, I'm fine. Jiang Chengzi said.

"This afternoon, people come from all rooms, and I will socialize with your eldest brother. You don't need to see guests, you can move it, and you can recharge your energy. Yang Shuyue continued to persuade. In his opinion, no matter how smart Ah Zhi is, he is only ten years old, and this morning's accident may not be able to withstand even adults. Moreover, her face didn't seem to be very good, and her reaction ability was not as fast as before.

"Father, I'm fine. Today, I really don't want to take a lunch break. Besides, as you know, I don't have a lunch break. Jiang Chengzi said as he moved a soft cushion and sat down at the end of the seat.

Yang Shuyue still wanted to continue to persuade, but Yang Qingrang smiled and said, "Father, you just go with Azhi." She has her own measure, besides, General A Nian and her are old friends, so she wants to reminisce about the past. Let's talk about Chang'an's, ease, smell, fun, and things. ”

Yang Qingrang's last sentence was word-by-word, completely teasing her to stay this time, but she wanted to hear Li Ke's news.

Although, as an elder brother, Yang Qingrang doesn't like his sister to follow a prince who is sharp and every step may be a disaster. But in all fairness, Li Ke is extraordinary, full of grace, talented, civil and military. Yang Qingrang admired it very much, and secretly felt that in this world, he was afraid that only this person could be worthy of Ah Zhi.

Therefore, for Li Ke, Yang Qingrang's attitude and mood are very complicated.

Yang Shuyue originally didn't expect this, but when his son mentioned it, he was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, and then smiled and said, "That's it, that's it, you may not have had tea with your father and brother for a long time." Besides, General Ah Nian and you are old acquaintances, just right, let's have a small talk and pass the time. ”

"Thank you, father. Jiang Chengzi sat upright, but her face was hot because of her father and brother's jokes, so she only cared about drinking tea.

Yang Shuyue opened the conversation box and asked General A Nian about the drought in the north.

"The drought in the north is quite severe. There has been no rain since the land froze. The soil was parched and unsown, and the overwintering wheat seedlings withered. The major villages are sincerely afraid. Ah Nian replied.

"Ah, this is serious?" Yang Qingrang was quite surprised.

Last year, he listened to his sister chatting with Li Ke and said that looking at the climate this year, he was afraid that there would be a big drought in the spring of next year, so he had to prepare early. The king of Shu also said that Li Chunfeng had calculated that there would be a big drought next year, and the imperial court was already making preparations.

Although Yang Qingrang was skeptical, Li Chunfeng was a capable person and was known to the world. Moreover, the King of Shu went to Qingcheng Mountain the day before yesterday and visited Yuan Tiangang, a Taoist priest from Linqiong who saw the beginning and the end of the dragon, and also revealed that there would be a big drought next year.

Therefore, for this year's drought, Yang Qingrang has long known about it. But he didn't expect it to be so serious, affecting the north and south of the country. It's just that the south is rich, the water is abundant, and it is drizzling, which is far less serious than that in the north.

Ah Nian nodded solemnly at his doubts. Yang Shuyue also frowned and asked: "If there is no rain for a long time, the people will be uneasy, and they are afraid that the society will be turbulent." General Ah Nian, I heard that the imperial court has been preparing for a long time, but I don't know how long this preparation will last?

"The imperial court stockpiled grain last autumn, dug wells to store water, and although there was a severe drought in the north, the imperial court took appropriate measures, and there have been no displaced people now. It's just that I don't know when it will rain, and the emperor is also anxious about it. As for Li Chunfeng, what he said was all a heavenly opportunity, not a little person like this. Ah Nian drank a cup of tea and replied slowly.

"It seems that I have to leave for Chang'an as soon as possible and make a modest contribution. Yang Shuyue was quite excited. (To be continued.) )
