Chapter 198: Datang's Sugar
Cheng Yanjin got up early, grabbed a large handful of sugar and put it in a small cloth bag, and then happily went to the court.
Sitting cross-legged, listening to the constant ruffling of those Wenchen, Cheng Yanjin secretly put a piece of white sugar into his mouth, and then tasted it slowly.
Sweet, so sweet, so happy, the emperor didn't have a certain amount of sugar.
The imperial envoy not far away saw Cheng Biting Jin's actions, and wanted to impeach him several times, but he still calmed down. Cheng Yanjin is a big bastard, he made a statement to impeach him, and it is estimated that he was beaten up by him on the way back, this kind of thing has happened many times.
After the court dispersed, a group of ministers stood under the palace, talking in a low voice. The emperor is going to give food again, which is a great honor, so many ministers who are lucky enough to be given food are full of smiles on their faces, and they are talking about something.
Cheng Yanjin came to the side of the eldest grandson Wuji with a smile on his face, slowly took out a white sugar from his arms, slowly put it into his mouth, and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with a smug face.
The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but feel a little strange, this old man took the wrong medicine today.
"Squeak ......"
One by one, there was a loud sound, and with a "grunt", the crushed sugar entered the stomach. The teeth are good, and the bite is very cool.
After eating one, Cheng Yanjin walked to Wei Zheng's side, took out another piece of white sugar, slowly put it into his mouth, bit it 'squeak', and then swallowed it 'gurgling'.
"Ahh It's delicious! ”
After sighing, he walked slowly to Li Jing's side, slowly took out the candy, and concocted it according to the law, his face was full of pride, as if to say, I have candy to eat, do you have it? .
The ministers couldn't help but show a strange look on their faces, and Li Zhong, who was not far away, was ready to call the imperial doctor to see if Cheng Yanjin was hysterical.
Then he walked next to Wei Chigong, took out a piece of candy, and ......
However, before Cheng Biting Jin put the sugar in his mouth, Yu Chigong's big black hand had already caught it, put the white sugar into his mouth, and chewed it with a grunt.
Let you be scared, let your old thing be scared!
"You horseman, why did you rob so-and-so of sugar!" Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but be furious, he didn't expect Yu Chigong to be so shameless, but the sugar had already been swallowed by Yu Chigong in his stomach.
"Sweet, really sweet, Cheng Pifu, where did you get this candy? Could it have been stolen from His Majesty's inner treasury? Wei Chigong couldn't help but say, drooling.
"Quick, quick, give another piece, give another piece!" As he spoke, a black hand took it out of Cheng Yanjin's arms, and several other ministers couldn't help but look at each other and said in unison: "Sugar? ”
The sugar production in this era was very low, and it was also a royal tribute, which ordinary people could not eat, and even if they were for these feats, they were only eaten when the emperor rewarded them.
Seeing this situation, Cheng Yanjin hurriedly ran to the side, but Wei Chigong had already hugged Cheng Yanjin, and then the two of them rolled on the ground.
Among the exploits of the entire Tang Dynasty, the two most shameless people are Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin, these two old people once scuffled in the court, just like two street ruffians. It is precisely because of this that the emperor trusts them very much, and the two big bosses are worthy of trust.
"Don't make any more trouble, don't make any more trouble."
"Insulting Sven, what kind of system!"
"Don't hurry up yet!"
"They are already grandfathers, how can they be like this!"
“……”
The crowd hurried over to persuade them, and then pulled both of them up. The chubby eldest grandson Wuji took advantage of Cheng Biting Jin's inattention, took out a small cloth bag from Cheng Biting Jin's arms and opened it.
There were more than a dozen thumb-sized pieces of white sugar in it, and they quickly divided it with everyone.
"You ...... You bandits! Cheng Yanjin was helpless, he was stopped by Niu Jinda and Wei Chigong, and he couldn't snatch back his sugar at all.
"Zhijie, this is your mistake, we are also old friends, how can you eat it yourself if you have sugar?" The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile that he snatched the sugar bag and ate the most.
"It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, I want to share half of your mouth with a piece of bread."
"It's just that, you old thing, you have candy and eat it yourself, it's not good."
"O Zhijie, we are helping you to destroy the evidence of your crimes, and you should be grateful to us."
"You're welcome, you don't have to thank me."
“……”
Everyone said, with a smile on their faces, which made Cheng Yanjin quite helpless, you bastards, robbed the Yang family's country, and Li Jiancheng's country is not counted, and now you are actually coming to rob my sugar!
Of course, Cheng Cheng didn't dare to say these words, after all, these words can be heavy and light.
Seeing that his sugar was eaten up, Cheng Biting Jin pointed at everyone and said, "I have never seen such a brazen person!" ”
Tan Binh Princess Mansion.
Although it was the first time to spend the night in Princess Xinping's Mansion, Xiao Er'er had never slept so sweetly, and the big bed in Princess Xinping's Mansion was really comfortable.
Can it be uncomfortable? The bed was made of more than a dozen layers of brocade, and it was very comfortable to sleep on.
Under the waiting, after washing, they came to the lobby, at this time, Princess Gao Yang and Li Zhi were already sitting in the lobby, and there were two plates of sugar on the table, one plate was white sugar, and the other was brown sugar.
Seeing that her son was coming, Princess Gaoyang stood up happily.
"Er, come on, come on, this is the sugar that was boiled overnight last night, it's fragrant, we must eat enough today." Princess Gaoyang was overjoyed that she finally had candy to eat, and there was so much more.
Of course, although the sugar is delicious, you will get tired of eating too much, but even if you don't eat such a large plate, you will be happy to look at it.
picked up a piece of white sugar and handed it to the little girl's mouth, and the sweet, happy little girl squinted her eyes.
"Is it delicious?" Princess Gao Yang asked.
"Eun." It's so sweet, it's really sweet.
"I'm here to try it, it's brown sugar, and it's delicious." Princess Gao Yang picked up a small piece of brown sugar and handed it to Xiao Er'er's mouth, and said, "Wait until we go back, we have to take a hundred catties." ”
"So much?" Er'er couldn't help but say.
"No more, no more, there are a lot more over there in the Lu Guo Mansion." Li Zhi said happily.
"Where's my brother-in-law?" Seeing that there was no figure of Cheng Chubi in the hall, Yu'er couldn't help asking.
"He's like crazy early in the morning, and he's getting food in the kitchen, don't pay attention to him, we'll eat ours." Princess Gaoyang was overjoyed and said, "We will try to eat all his sugar." ”
Sugar was indeed not affordable for everyone before the Song Dynasty, and the new book is being updated in an effort to support everyone~
