Chapter 69: Datang's Tea
Li An was slightly overjoyed when he heard this, saving Xia Yue'er's mother and daughter is just a gesture, even if they are not Gaolis's family, Li An will not stand idly by, this is the nature of an excellent Tang man, the next time he encounters this situation, Li An will still come forward.
And Colliers showed that he would remember his kindness, which was to hint to Ang Lee that he was a person who knew how to repay his kindness, and if Ang Lee encountered tricky difficulties in the future, he would also lend a helping hand to help Ang Lee tide over the difficulties.
Of course, Colliers is cautious and has limits to helping others, if Li An causes a big disaster and faces the danger of overturning, he may not lend a hand, lest he fail to save people, but trap himself in it.
Li An got up and arched his hand and said: "The general forgives the sin, when he was in Changping, Li An was short of food for a while, and forcibly borrowed dozens of taels of food from his wife, and he has not returned it yet. ”
When Gao Lishi heard this, the corners of his mouth laughed, Li An's words were clearly a joke, and he would pay it back when he had enough money, as if dozens of deniers of grain were very valuable, even in Chang'an, the rice was only twenty wen, once the rice was two hundred wen, the grain and rice that Li An forcibly borrowed was only worth a few yuan, that is, the value of one tael of gold, and Li Longji just rewarded Li An with fifty pieces of gold, that is, five hundred taels, and the money on hand was enough to be rich.
"The grace of saving lives is greater than the sky, Li Shaolang Hugh is going to mention those little things about grain and rice again, and inviting Li Shaolang to come today is not only the meaning of our family, but also the meaning of today's son."
Gao Lishi's eyelids lifted slightly, and he looked at Ang Lee with a little meaning.
When Li An heard this, he was slightly shocked, Gao Lishi invited him to visit the mansion, but it was not all his own meaning, but also the emperor's will, which naturally made him very surprised, and at the same time very happy, Li Longji let Gao Lishi see him, what was he going to do, did Li Longji have any secret will, and he wanted to complete it himself.
"General, does Your Majesty have something to tell Li An?"
Li An asked tentatively.
Gao Lishi smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth: "Everyone let our family tell Li Shaolang that he values you very much." ”
'Your Majesty thinks highly of me. ’
Li An'an was overjoyed, no wonder Li Longji suddenly canonized himself as the captain of Xuanjie, and also rewarded him with silk and gold, it turned out that Li Longji valued himself very much.
"General, I don't know when His Majesty summoned me."
Gao Lishi glanced at the family next to him, and replied: "Li Shaolang has arrived in Chang'an, are you still afraid that you won't be able to see everyone?" Why not wait a few more days? ”
When Li An heard this, he hurriedly nodded yes.
At this time, the family brought a vessel that looked like a copper tripod, and put a burning charcoal fire underneath, and put water and some ingredients in the tripod.
"General, what is this?"
Li An looked puzzled, what is this copper tripod, is it used to cook rice?
Gao Lishi pointed to the copper utensils, and introduced with a smile: "Li Shaolang, this thing is a wind stove, which is specially used for sencha, this is the abbot of Baoshou Temple, just sent a few days ago, and has not been used once, today Li Shaolang came, our family just remembered such a thing, drinking tea is the habit of monks, Li Shaolang must not have tasted the taste of tea!" ”
When Li An heard this, he was about to laugh in his heart, he had never drunk any good tea in his previous life, and the quality and taste were a hundred times stronger than Datang, but after coming to Datang, he had never drunk tea, which is an indisputable fact.
The boiling tea in the stove exuded a strong milky fragrance, which made Li An wonder whether it was tea or milk that was fried.
However, Datang's tea is indeed like this, at this time, Datang's tea fairy Lu Yu is still a ten-year-old child, and he will have to wait for another eighteen years before he will write the tea scripture that will have a great influence in later generations, so as to standardize the process of drinking tea.
It doesn't matter how the tea tastes at all, what matters is the attitude of the host, and Gao Lishi asked Jia Ding to taste the sencha for Ang Lee, which is a great courtesy, which shows that he values Ang Lee very much.
While drinking the milky tea and talking about the process of his meritorious service in Ulzhou, Ang Lee was in a good mood, and Gao Lishi's eyebrows also revealed excitement and appreciation.
###
On the street south of Yongxingfang, Gao Fu rolled off his horse panting, panting heavily.
Ten paces ahead was the gate of Colliers' mansion, where he had been for decades, but he could not move.
He was extremely uncomfortable in his heart, both guilty and angry, Yue'er was kidnapped by a group of unknown people, just when he was distracted.
Actually, it's not his fault, at that time, Yue'er was picking rouge with a little lady, and he also happened to meet an old acquaintance and greeted each other.
When he heard the scream behind him and turned around, Yue'er had already been escorted into the carriage and left quickly, he chased after him for more than a dozen steps, but he was too old to catch up at all.
Angry, he slapped the groom in the face a few times and told him to go to the county government immediately to report to the official, while he unmounted his horse and rode back to the mansion, ready to report the situation to Gao Lishi.
It's just that when he really returned to the mansion, he was scared again, he didn't know how to report to Gao Lishi, so he said that he was careless and let Yue'er be robbed, although Yue'er is Gao Lishi's adopted daughter, but Gao Lishi is a eunuch and can't give birth, and the adopted daughter is like his own child.
Looking at the wall beside him, Gao Fuxin slammed into it hard, and his forehead was suddenly full of blood.
Gao Fu touched the wound on his forehead, as if he suddenly had confidence, strode towards the mansion, and went straight to the main hall.
At this time, Li An was telling the classic battle example of 300 elite warriors and 5,000 elite soldiers of the Tibetan army, and Gao Lishi also nodded with satisfaction while drinking tea.
"General, general, Yue'er was snatched away."
Gao Fu ran into the main hall and knelt on the ground with a thud, gasping for air.
When Gao Lishi heard this, his expression suddenly turned cold, but he quickly returned to normal, and Li An was greatly surprised, Chang'an City is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how could it happen to rob the people's daughter?
"Gao Fu, do I still have guests here? Why are you so reckless? ”
Colliers opened his mouth and scolded.
"General, Ang Li is just a junior, and he won't get in the way." Li An got up and looked at Gao Fu: "Fu Bo, who was Yue'er robbed?" And the wound on your forehead? ”
Gao Fu was emotional, and said with added vinegar: "General, Yue'er wants to go to the West Market to buy clothes and rouge, the old slave is not at ease and follows, how do you think that a group of thieves suddenly appeared in the West Market, snatched Yue'er into the carriage, the old slave went up to reason with them, and reported the name of the general, but these thieves are really bold, not only did they not stop, but also beat the old slave, the old slave was incapable of beating them, so he could only let the groom go to the official, and then come back to tell the general. ”
"Who is so bold that he dares to rob the people's daughter at the feet of the Son of Heaven."
Ang Lee's eyebrows were full of anger, he met Yue'er, and he really didn't want Yue'er to have an accident.
Gao Lishi's expression was as calm as water, but there was obviously a murderous anger in his eyes, and he couldn't find it without careful observation.
After staying by the emperor's side for decades and experiencing too many things, Gao Lishi's state of mind has long been perfected, no matter how big the mood fluctuations in his heart are, it will not be written on his face, but his eyes are beyond his control, after all, the eyes are the window of the soul, and whatever he thinks in his heart will leak out through his eyes.
"Could it be the Tibetan assassins, they even dare to assassinate the Queen of the East."
Ang Lee guessed casually.
"Tubo assassins, what are the Tubo assassins doing to rob the moon, the general has never offended the Tubo people."
Gao Fu touched the wound on his forehead, looking puzzled.
Gao Lishi slowly got up and looked at Li An: "No matter what the identity of this gang of thieves is, Chang'an Ling will definitely find out, I was going to talk to Li Shaolang for a while today, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen." ”
Li An understood that Gao Lishi wanted to send off the guests, after all, Yue'er was snatched away by thieves at this time, where was he still in the mood to listen to Li An tell about his meritorious service in Ulzhou.
"General, Li An has nothing important to do in the capital, he must assist Chang'an Ling and find Yue'er as soon as possible."
Ang Lee clasped his fists and saluted, ready to leave.
Gao Lishi nodded lightly: "Okay, so there will be Lao Li Shaolang, in a few days, our family will invite Li Shaolang to come to the cold house for a gathering." ”
"The general invites, Li An will definitely come, the general rests, and Li An farewell."
Ang Lee clasped his fists and saluted, turned to leave.
After Li An left, Gao Lishi glared at Gao Fu: "It's all injured like this, don't go to see Lang Zhong." ”
"General Xie cares, General Xie."
Gao Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and got up to see Lang Zhong, he felt that Gao Lishi asked him to treat the injury first, indicating that his bitter meat plan was successful, Gao Lishi because of his forehead injury, so he couldn't bear to deal with him harshly.
"Why bother hurting yourself like this?"
After Gao Fu left, Gao Lishi sighed slightly, although Gao Fu's acting skills were very good and deceived Li An, but Gao Lishi saw the flaw at a glance, whether he was injured by someone or himself, it can be seen from the location of the wound and the angle of the injury, and Gao Fu's situation is obviously hit by himself.
It's just that Gao Fu has followed him for decades and has always been loyal, just like he did to Li Longji, so he naturally won't expose Gao Fu, and besides, this kind of thing is not all Gao Fu's fault.
Although Yue'er was robbed, he was very anxious, but he knew that it was useless to be anxious, Chang An Ling knew about this matter, and he would definitely do his best to investigate, and he just had to wait quietly.
After leaving the Gaolishi Mansion, Li An has been thinking about who plundered Yue'er, and the suspicion of the Tibetan assassin is undoubtedly the greatest, after all, these fanatics even dare to assassinate the Queen of the East, and what else do they dare not do.
However, Yue'er doesn't have much use value, who can these Tibetan assassins threaten if they take Yue'er, can they threaten Gaolis? Gao Lishi is a cautious and loyal person, and he will never be used by the Tibetan assassins for the sake of Yue'er, even if he loses this adopted daughter.
So, who took Yue'er?
