Chapter 300 and 4 Good Stuff
The officials of Datang do not have modern weekends, but they do have a rest every five days.
Mu means bathing, and Xiu Mu means that the imperial court gives a day off to let the officials go home to rest and bathe.
The system of Xiu Mu was handed down from the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty had no electric heating and no solar energy, and the bath needed to be boiled with a fire, in order to save time and firewood, the people generally only took a bath once in five days, so the imperial court also took Xiu Mu as an official's holiday.
In the Tang Dynasty, this system was also used and became a "legal holiday" for officials.
Gao Ming has never been in the early dynasty, so he doesn't know what day Xiu Mu is, but he is not in a hurry, because he thinks Su Wan'er must know.
"It's really a blessing to have a reliable wife."
Thinking of this, the smile on Gao Ming's face suddenly became a little more, and even the steps back to the East Palace were much brisker.
When Gao Ming returned to the East Palace, it was already noon, and when she saw him coming back, Su Wan'er asked the waiters to bring the food, and she herself made a hot tea and sent it to Gao Ming.
"Lang Jun, this is the tea sent by the martial sister's sister to the concubine, she fried it herself, it is fragrant, Lang Jun, you can also taste it."
Seeing Su Wan'er's happy appearance, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, didn't that girl Wu Mei tell you that the fried tea in this Tang Royal Club was pioneered by Lang Jun and me?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er's eyes suddenly widened.
"This method of roasting tea was also made by Lang Jun? The concubine really doesn't know! Lang Jun, you are too powerful, you can do anything, the concubine really suspects that there is nothing in this world that you will not do. ”
"Absolutely!"
As soon as Su Wan'er's words fell, Gao Ming showed a serious expression.
"For example, I won't have a baby!"
"Uh......"
At first, seeing Gao Ming's serious face, Su Wan'er was stunned for a moment, but after hearing his next words, Su Wan'er suddenly laughed with a "poof".
"Hee-hee...... Lang Jun teased the concubine again...... Having a baby...... Hee-hee......"
Looking at Su Wan'er, who was smiling and trembling, Gao Ming immediately shrugged his shoulders.
"The women of Datang laugh really low."
Thinking of this, Gao Ming suddenly shook his head with a smile, and then hugged Su Wan'er's slender waist and went to eat.
Since the last time he lost the art of war, Gao Ming found that Su Wan'er was much closer to him, calling "His Royal Highness the Prince" less often, and "Lang Jun" more often, which in Gao Ming's opinion, this is a good progress.
After eating, Gao Ming lay under the tree in the courtyard to enjoy the shade, Su Wan'er snuggled in his arms, and from time to time picked up a piece of preserved fruit and put it into his mouth, while the waiter and the servant sword fanned him, and the other helped him pinch his shoulder, so comfortable that he hummed.
"Force...... Uh-huh...... Push harder...... Oooh...... Cool ......"
Listening to Gao Ming's weird yin and yang voice, the girls next to them didn't know what they thought, and they suddenly blushed with shame.
In the end, Su Wan'er couldn't help it first, she bit her lip, and then opened her mouth to interrupt Gao Ming's disease-free groan.
"Lang Jun, I heard that you went to your father's place today?"
Hearing Su Wan'er's words, Gao Ming nodded suddenly.
"Well, go, the old man praised me in heaven and earth, the first good prince of the Tang Dynasty, saying that he didn't want to do it as an emperor, I persuaded him several times, and finally forced him to die to dispel this idea, and I was tired to death."
“……”
Su Wan'er and the waiter have long been accustomed to Gao Ming's full mouth of running trains, of course they won't just believe him, as soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Su Wan'er gave him a pretty look.
"Lang Jun really coaxed the concubine as a three-year-old child, and the concubine didn't believe it."
Seeing that Su Wan'er didn't believe it, Gao Ming immediately shrugged her shoulders.
"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway!"
"Hee-hee!"
Su Wan'er's laughter is indeed very low, Gao Ming teased her casually, and she was so happy that she fell into Gao Ming's arms.
"Lang Jun, it's the height of summer now, why don't Lang Jun go and talk to his father, and in a few days, let's go to Huaqing Palace to live for a few days to escape the heat, okay?"
Huaqing Palace?
Hearing Su Wan'er's words, Gao Ming immediately raised his eyebrows.
"Wan'er, is there a Huaqing Pool in the Huaqing Palace you are talking about?"
"Yes!"
Hearing Su Wan'er's affirmative answer, Gao Ming's eyes suddenly lit up.
"That's Huaqing Pool, Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei's Huaqing Pool, such a good place must go!"
Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately nodded his head like a chicken
"Go, go, go...... Gotta go, gotta go, I'll go back and say to the old man, uh...... By the way, Wan'er, do you know what day Xiu Mu is? ”
"Hugh Mu?"
Hearing Gao Ming ask about this, Su Wan'er suddenly frowned, and then snapped her fingers.
"If the concubine is not mistaken, it should be three days later, why is Lang Jun asking this?"
"Nothing!"
Speaking of this, Gao Ming gently touched Su Wan'er's hair, and then grinned.
"I plan to talk to the old man on the day of Xiu Mu, and then in the afternoon we will go to Huaqing Pool to live for half a month, what do you think?"
"Well, Lang Jun just decides!"
"Then it's such a pleasant decision, let's let Lang Jun kiss it."
"Hee-hee-hee......"
Just as Gao Ming and Su Wan'er were playing, Li Su's voice suddenly came from the door.
"Big brother...... Big brother, here we are! ”
Hearing Li Su's voice, Su Wan'er hurriedly got up from Gao Ming, and then ran back to the house with a red face.
Gao Ming was disturbed by Li Su and them, and his mood was naturally not very happy, so he immediately snorted with a straight face.
"Hmph, you two don't study hard, why are you here for me?"
After Li Su and Li Yun ran in happily, seeing Gao Ming's straight face, Li Yun immediately lowered his head and stood in place, not daring to approach.
But Li Su didn't care about this, he came over with a hippie smile.
"Hey...... Big brother, I've brought you something good, hehehehehe......"
At this time, Gao Ming noticed that Li Su was still carrying a small wooden box in his hand.
After he came over, he stuffed the small wooden box into Gao Ming's hand with a thief smile, and then raised his eyebrows at Gao Ming.
"Hey...... Big brother, this is a good thing...... Good stuff, hehe......"
“……”
Looking at Li Su's frowning appearance, the corners of Gao Ming's mouth suddenly twitched twice.
"Li Su, this guy is so obscene today!"
Thinking of this, Gao Ming suddenly recalled that once when he went out before the crossing, he met an obscene vendor wearing a thick coat under the overpass on the street.
"Dude, do you want a saucer?"
"What's the saucer?"
"It's that kind of dish, huh...... You know ......."
“……”
At this moment, Gao Ming felt that Li Su and the obscene vendor who bought the dish overlapped.
"Damn, it seems that this kind of obscene guy will not be extinct even in two thousand years."
Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately shook his head helplessly, and then opened the box handed to him by Li Su.
Originally, Gao Ming thought that the box was at most a small yellow book in the Tang Dynasty or something, and at most it was a picture album, after all, with Li Su's economic strength, he would definitely not be able to take out any gold, silver and jewelry.
But when Gao Ming opened the box and saw the contents, his eyes widened.
"This ...... Could it be ......?"
I saw that in the box was a strip of meat about 20 centimeters long, which looked like the small intestine of a pig that had been cut off, and the only difference from the small intestine of the pig was that the front end of the meat strip was densely barbed!
After carefully looking at this thing several times, Gao Ming suddenly gasped.
"Shhh...... This thing is indeed a good thing, sixth, where did you get this thing? ”
Li Su was indeed a little nervous at first, because he was worried that Gao Ming would not like his gift, but after seeing Gao Ming's current expression, his heart immediately relaxed, and then he grinned.
"Hehe, I knew that big brother you would like it, yesterday Huzi told me that you like this thing, since big brother you like it, why do I have to get it for you, brother? Hey! ”
“……”
Hearing Li Su's words, Gao Ming couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hahahaha, that's a good thing to say, I love to listen to it, in fact, I just talked about it yesterday, I didn't expect the tiger to tell you this, but it's a mistake, I really like this tiger whip, the sixth and the seventh, you have a heart!"
The thing sent by Li Su and Li Yun was nothing else, it was the tiger whip!
For Gao Ming, the tiger whip is also a legend-level thing, after all, in later generations, the tiger is a first-class protected animal of the country, and the level is the same as that of a panda.
Because of this reason, the price of the tiger whip is like a rocket, and the dried adult tiger whip is as high as 100,000 to 200,000 yuan, and it is not a theory, but a gram!
Gao Ming remembers that he once saw a news on the Internet, saying that Singapore auctioned a 42-gram tiger whip, and it was auctioned for a high price of 12 million, and the price of each gram is converted into 300,000!
After seeing the news, Gao Ming was shocked at the time.
"Is this a tiger whip? It can't be made of diamonds, right? ”
At that time, Gao Ming even suspected that the tiger would become a rare animal because of its whip.
The tiger is not guilty, but he is guilty!
Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately took out the tiger whip in front of him from the wooden box, and then shook his head while smacking his lips.
"Tsk...... It's not easy to get this thing, tsk...... It's not easy! ”
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Su immediately nodded with deep sympathy.
"Yes, big brother, since yesterday afternoon, Lao Qi and I have searched all over Chang'an and Jingzhao Mansion, and finally found a tiger that was just killed, this tiger whip was just cut this morning, big brother, you should hurry up and stew it, let my brother try it too, hehehehe!"
