Chapter 37: The Distance Between Tea and Salt (Part I)
Drag back the time to five months ago, in Luoyang City, the eldest grandson Wuji led his little sister Li Er, who was befriending him, to taste tea in a teahouse in Luoyang City, "Brother Fuji, come, taste it, it is said that this is the latest way to drink tea....." Li Er said to the eldest grandson Wuji with a bone china teacup, and after he finished speaking, he looked at the eldest grandson Xiao Lori on the side, "What are you thinking about?" ”
Suddenly, when Li Er asked herself, the eldest grandson Xiao Lori, who was fascinated, was stunned, but she immediately reacted, "Second brother (eldest grandson Wuwu has always called Li Er the second brother), I was thinking, this tea is not boiled, but boiled...... I'm afraid this is not the way we taste tea in the Central Plains, right? ”
Li Er didn't answer, and suddenly heard Xiao Er's voice in the teahouse, "Miss, what you said is good, this is indeed not boiling tea, but boiling tea....... our Taibai Lou is a tea master invited from Longxi at a high price..... boiling tea is boiled with brick tea produced in Sichuan and Hunan with water, plus green salt, pepper, ginger peel, nepeta, etc., but no matter how it is boiled, even if there is only one ingredient left, it is also salt.......
"Oh? Listen to what you said, this tea boiling should not be the method used by our Han people to drink tea......" The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly asked after hearing this, although the eldest grandson Wuji was a royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty and a proper Xianbei person, but in his generation, he only thought that he was a Han person......
"Young Master Eldest Sun is right...... Xiao Er said proudly, "This is indeed not the way we Central Plains people drink tea...... This way of drinking tea comes from the West Sea ......"
"Oh? That is to say, the way the barbarians in the west drank tea? The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head, "Tea is a high-level thing..... barbarian drinking tea is not a cow chewing peonies." ”
"Eldest grandson, little master, what you said is a bit too much....." Xiao Er said with a smile, "This method of boiling tea also has a history..... saying that there are two generations of grudge families in Xihai..... they can't get together when they are alive, and they are turned into salt and tea after death.....
Xiao Er said energetically, Li Er and the eldest grandson Wujiquan should have listened to it, and the eldest grandson Xiao Lori, who is a woman, couldn't help but shed tears, "I can't imagine that there are such persistent people in this wild place........."
The words of the eldest grandson Xiao Loli are full of infinite sympathy for the hard-working mandarin ducks in the story, just when Li Ergang wanted to comfort the eldest grandson Xiao Loli who had hurt the Spring and Autumn Period, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the Taibai Building, and then saw a Gaofu family Ding break in, sweating profusely and shouting at the eldest grandson Wuji: "The little young master is not good, what happened to the master, something happened to the master, something happened to the master.........
"What happened to my uncle?" The eldest grandson Wuji stood up straight, the eldest grandson Wuji's uncle Gao Shilian was the support of their eldest grandson brothers and sisters, and he was also a flesh and blood relative, he had an accident, and the eldest grandson Wuji naturally changed color.
"Master, master, he was arrested" The family who came to report the news shouted with a crying voice: "It was Xiaoguo's people who came to arrest the master, and they also directly put the master into the prison of the criminal department, we didn't even have time to say a word to the master, so we could only hurry back to report the news, the family was already in chaos, the little young master ......"
The eldest grandson Wuji was like being struck by lightning, the teacup in his hand slammed to the ground, thanks to the bone china teacup, otherwise it would have been broken a long time ago, the tea was spilled on the ground, and he was stupid, at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji had not evolved to the eldest grandson demon, and he was not an old fox, so it was really difficult for him to calm down.
, Li Er, this guy really deserves to be the son of the plane, the future Tang Taizong, he was very calm, and asked quickly: "Gao Quanfu, tell me, do you know why the imperial court wants to arrest Lord Gao?" ”
"I don't know, we were waiting for the master outside the gate of Honglu Temple, only to see the master followed a few Xiaoguo guards out of the Honglu Temple, and failed to talk to the master, and asked those guards why, and they didn't say." The messenger replied with a sad face.
"Uncle........." The eldest grandson Xiao Luoli suddenly cried, and rushed out with his legs, and the eldest grandson Wuji also ran away, Li Er was shocked, and hurriedly caught up with the eldest grandson brothers and sisters, and shouted: "Where are you going?"
"Let go of me, I'm going to see my uncle, I'm going to see him in the prison of the Criminal Department" Eldest Sun Wuji struggled and shouted!
"What time has it been? The prison visit time of the Criminal Department has long passed, how can you go in to visit? Li Ernu gestured to the west, and the sun in the west was already slowly setting in the west.
The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned and asked dejectedly: "Then ......, what should I do?" ”
"Don't worry. The tall man acts above board, how can he commit a crime, he must have offended someone? ? Besides, he has a good relationship with my father, and my father will definitely not see him die without help........" Li Er comforted: "Master Zheng Shanguo, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is very familiar with my father, I will beg my father to inquire about the situation for you, and your brothers and sisters will now go and comfort your mother and aunt, so that they can prepare for tomorrow's prison visit, so that they must not be in a hurry, and after a while, I will definitely be able to bring you accurate letters." ”
Li Er's father is Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Kingdom, a standard imperial relative, and an important minister of the imperial court, not to mention that Gao Shilian and Li Yuan are old friends, and he came forward to think that his uncle must be safe and sound, right?
Not long after the few of them left the Taibai Building, Xiao Er, who was talking to them, suddenly grinned, "This Li Shimin is really not simple, he must be our great enemy in the Central Plains, the Lord is right, everything Li Yuan and his son want to do, we have to add to the block...... Hehehe, Li Shimin, Li Er, don't you think we are a wild land, okay, I'll let you and your sweetheart become tea and salt, you are tea in the Central Plains, she is salt in Haixi, you want to meet, hehe........."
This hehe-hey Zhile's little second is none other than Li Zheng's hardcore doglegs, Li Jin, the director of the Daxing branch of Yipintang, this is not a good person.
On the other hand, what the eldest grandson brothers and sisters didn't expect was that as soon as they returned to the Gao family, they were blocked in the Gao Mansion by Xiaoguo (the forbidden army of the Great Sui), and they were not allowed to enter or exit.......
Let's say that Li Er returned to his house and went to see his father Li Yuan, "Father, the child heard that Lord Zhililang Gao Shilian Gao was arrested, you are familiar with Master Zheng Shanguo Zheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, can you find out why?" Can you let them visit the tall man? ”
After Li Er finished speaking, the old guy Li Yuan pondered for a moment, and then said, "What are you asking for?" The old fox's face became serious, and he said in a low voice: "Erlang, Dad warns you, you don't have to mix up in this matter, do you know, this is a matter of losing your head........"
