Chapter 132: The First Snow of the Great Song Dynasty (Part II)
The first snow fell in the first year of Jianlong, and the relatives of the Wei Wangfu were also tasting tea and enjoying the snow, and the little county lord Fu Li took matters into his own hands to cook tea for his parents. Without adding any seasoning, the red clay stove is only cooked with water, which is fragrant and sweet, and the taste is very good.
This is the method that Zhao Zheng taught her when she was in Heyang, and she was not used to it at first, but now she likes it very much, and she has deliberately promoted it to her relatives and friends. Fu Yanqing and his wife are now also in love with this way of drinking tea, Fu Li is very happy about this, maybe this way his parents can slowly accept him.
Today is even more extraordinary, the palace sent some tea, saying that it was a reward from the official family, and it was a famous tea from the south of the Yangtze River. Jiangnan, when he heard the name of this place, Fu Li understood that he brought it back from Jinling, and then sent it to his home by the hands of the official.
The tea leaves he brought back, he taught the way to cook tea, and then combined with the snow water of the first snow, the tea cooked was more fragrant and pleasant, and the taste of happiness in the mouth was more.
"Father, how is it, does it taste good?" Fu Li asked with a smile.
How could Fu Yanqing not know her daughter's thoughts, alas, there is no way, now she is still in the boudoir, and this elbow has already begun to turn outward, and it is really a woman's big mistake.
These gadgets are also a little interesting, but they are also low-level, but after all, they still can't get into the eyes of Lord Wei, what he cares about is something else. For example, today's official informal order, he likes it very much, a rookie who is not prominent enough instantly becomes the prince of the king, and there is an intriguing ranking, which means a lot!
Fu Yanqing smiled and nodded: "Yes, it has been rare for Bianliang to drink Jiangnan tea in the past two years, and this kind of tea cooking technique is also very wonderful......
He naturally understands his daughter's thoughts, but in a day or two, his attitude has changed a lot. To be precise, this is the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty's hint to his own family, why did he reward Zhao Zheng for the tea he brought back from his envoy to Jiangnan? Why is there an extra side room in the sixth son-in-law's house? Zhao Kuangyin's intentions were very clear in his heart.
Although the Fu family is not as good as in the past, it is still strong and worthy of the efforts of the Great Song royal family. But at the same time, there is little to be wary of. It's just that you have to grieve your children, born in a princely family, their marriage is destined to be complicated, and you can only try to make them happy.
"Yes, if my father likes it, my daughter will cook tea for you every day!" Fu Li smiled, she had also heard the information from the outside world, how could she not understand the deep meaning of Lan Xinhui? Now the purpose of knocking on the side of my father's ear is obvious.
Fu Yanqing said with a smile: "The last time I invited him to the banquet, something went wrong and I couldn't make the trip, so ...... Invite him again, as a father! ”
"Thank you, Father!" Fu Li's heart suddenly bloomed. My father finally relented, and the dawn was just around the corner. At this time, I was looking forward to meeting sooner.
Fu Yanqing smiled and feigned anger: "It's really a woman's big mistake!" ”
"Father, what do you say?" Fu Li suddenly looked shy, at the age when love first opened, it was normal to react like this.
"It's just that in winter, your mother concubine is not in good health......" Fu Yanqing couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Princess Qin's family fell ill when she gave birth to Fu Li, and she was particularly cold every winter. There was a lot of discomfort in his body, which made Fu Yanqing quite worried.
"yes!" Speaking of her mother, Fu Li couldn't help but be a little worried, and the first snow fell. Winter is coming, and my mother's life must be difficult. I can still serve at bedside at home, but what if I am not at home in the future?
……
The first snow is beautiful. fluttering and sprinkling, or how long it will take, Bianliang City is covered in silver. It has become a world of whitewashed jade bricks entirely.
Walking on the royal road of the palace, Zhao Zheng thought about the season of last year, with the hit of a certain TV series, fried chicken and beer were almost popular in the East, and it was also a very romantic bridge between lovers.
In Da Song, fried chicken may be cooked, but beer, you can only think about it. Besides, the same good thing needs to be enjoyed with a specific person to be romantic. Therefore, Zhao Zheng, who did not take it seriously and was ready to pounce on the case, received an invitation from the Wei Wangfu again.
At that time, Zhao Zheng happened to report the case to the emperor in the palace, and after hearing the news, Zhao Kuangyin laughed and said: "Go ahead, you have already scared the snake, now just wait and see what happens, you can also be busy, Lord Fu is full of hospitality, you must not live up." ”
"Yes!" Zhao Zheng was really a little excited in his heart, the last trip was ruined by Zhao Anbang, which made him very regretful, and even worried, and worried about how to apologize to the Fu family, and whether he could get the Fu family's understanding is also a question. Well, now that the Fu family's invitation again is enough to illustrate the problem, at least it did not damage the minimum friendliness. Before he came to the door, he made his father-in-law dare to be vicious, and it would be troublesome.
When Zhao Zheng was about to hurry back to the concierge and choose a few more gifts, Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, just go directly, just bring a few jars of fine wine." ”
The value of the wine in the house may not be as good as those rare treasures, but it will definitely save face, which is also a special care of Zhao Kuangyin for Zhao Zheng.
"So, thank you official!" Zhao Zheng bowed in thanks.
"It's just a little thing!" Zhao Kuangyin thought in his heart, what is a few jars of wine, the bigger gift has been delivered to Fu Yanqing first, better than anything else.
Zhao Kuangyin immediately ordered: "Bring a team of guards from the Imperial City Division, so as not to travel again!" After speaking, he smiled heartily, obviously not wanting Zhao Zheng's good deeds to twist and turn. Moreover, at this time, Zhao Zheng, as an envoy of the imperial city, has a heavy responsibility, especially if he has achieved good results today, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will have bad intentions and intend to murder, so it is better to be careful.
"Thank you, official!"
Zhao Zheng immediately said goodbye and left, Zhao Kuangyin also returned to the harem, the first snow fell, the cold winter has arrived, as a son, he should go to his mother Empress Dowager Du to say goodbye.
Although she is the queen mother, her food and clothing are the best in the world, but the queen mother Du seems to be unblessed to enjoy it, and her health is not very good after autumn. Now that the climate is getting colder, there is a lot of discomfort, so it was only at noon, and he was bedridden early, and his whole body was cushioned or covered with a good fur that made Li Yiyin attack in the five states of Dingnan.
Zhao Kuangyin entered the door and saw such a scene, and his heart suddenly chuckled, he is also a filial son, his father died in Huainan in the early years, and there is only one mother left, who should be honored. Especially now that he has ascended the throne as the emperor, he should raise the queen mother with the world and let his mother take care of his mother, but his mother's health is not good, which can't help but make him very worried.
"Is the mother okay? Have you seen it with the imperial doctor? Zhao Kuangyin immediately asked with concern.
Empress Dowager Du shook her head and smiled: "It doesn't matter, it's just that it's cold, and it's warmer in bed." ”
"It's cold, and my son will have a bigger stove and charcoal come later."
"You have a heart, but it's warmer on this bed, but it's a little unorthodox!" Empress Dowager Du couldn't help but smile bitterly, as the queen mother, she should have been a mother in the world, but she curled up on the bed all day long, which was somewhat unetiquette.
Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and said: "Where is it, how comfortable is the mother, how to do it, it doesn't matter." ”
"Hmm!" Empress Dowager Du was not informal, and asked instead: "Kuang Yin, your brother sues me, and that Wulang is ......?"
"Yes, that's right, my son has investigated it clearly, and I ask my mother to show ......"
"Oh!" Empress Dowager Du pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "What does Wei Niang say?" What do you and me have to do with the old things of adulthood? Although...... That day in the Dingli Academy, if it weren't for him, who of us girls would be able to take care of it? It seems that it is the will of God, so why bother with those things that are rotten with sesame seeds? It can be seen that he is a talented child, and now that the country has just been established, tigers and wolves are around, and more people close to him should be used to protect the foundation. ”
"Well, what the mother said is that the son has a plan in his heart." The last trace of worry in Zhao Kuangyin's heart was gone.
Empress Dowager Du thought of something, and said seriously: "By the way, now that your brother is idle at home all day, think about it, give him an errand, in the end, he is his own person, and he is more at ease than outsiders." ”
"Well, Guangyi has the ability to use it for his own sake, and his son is already paying attention."
"Good!" Empress Dowager Du nodded, and then said, "I heard that you let Guangyi marry a side room?" ”
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Yes, the daughter of Li Ying, the defense envoy of Qianzhou, is dignified, virtuous and virtuous, and can be a good match." ”
"It's okay, Guangyi is almost twenty-four, and he doesn't have a child yet, and he is a little anxious for his mother, so it's okay!" Empress Dowager Du, who was born as an official eunuch, couldn't understand the other meanings, she didn't want to ask more about politics, but the mood of hugging her grandson was very urgent, although the Fu family was good, it was also a fact that he had not come out for a long time.
After a pause, Empress Dowager Du said gently: "The royal family, it is good for the descendants to prosper." You should also be more attentive yourself, but Dezhao and Defang are not enough; There is also Guangmei, although it is not born for your mother, but it is also your own brother, and now that he is older, it is better to find a good woman to start a family earlier. ”
Zhao Kuangyin bowed and said: "Yes, my son is in mind, and when I have a preliminary candidate, I will let my mother check it." ”
"Good!" Empress Dowager Du nodded with a smile, and suddenly asked: "By the way, Gorou can't forget, I heard your brother-in-law say that Gorou and her little sister are in love, but is there such a thing?" ”
"Yes, they see the truth in adversity, and they are a good match!"
Empress Dowager Du said worriedly: "But listening to your brother-in-law, Fu Yanqing's family doesn't seem to approve of ......."
Zhao Kuangyin replied: "Originally, I didn't approve of it, but now I'm afraid I've changed my mind, and I just invited Gorou to the mansion for a banquet today." ”
"Oh!" Empress Dowager Du pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "This is very good, it is best for the family to kiss each other...... Hehe, the daughters of this Fu family are all blessed......"
"It's not ......" Zhao Kuangyin's smile was a little stiff, Fu Rong and Fu Li may be, but what should the deceased Empress Xuanyi and the Empress Dowager Zhou who lived in seclusion in the West Palace say? (To be continued......)
