Time flies, and March has passed in a blink of an eye.

According to the season, this is already December of the second year of the general chapter, and Emperor Gaozong ordered the six departments and nine temples to take stock of the gains and losses of the government in the past year, and make a summary. Because of the severe drought in Kannai this year, grain production has decreased, and it was decided to visit the eastern capital in the first month of next year.

Qingxinkan has become famous in Chang'an, sugar gourds are even more well-known, and as for popsicles and shaved ice, they are seasonal food, so Qingxinkan has changed its business content. Wu Qing shamelessly introduced gaiwan tea, which would prevail hundreds of years later, and the tea also removed condiments such as spices and salt, which were more popular in the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, Wu Qing also admired the learning and imitation ability of the people of Chang'an, and the sugar gourd was decently made, but it was a pity that it still did not have the taste of Qingxin Pavilion. What's more, there are still books to listen to in the Qingxin Pavilion.

In the past three months, after Wu Qing checked the accounts, he actually earned as much as five hundred taels of silver. Of course, there are one or two hundred taels of this that are rewarded by the visitors, like Princess Taiping once directly rewarded the five Kaiyuan Tongbao.

Wu Qing earned the first pot of gold in his life, so he naturally couldn't let it go, so he put the silk shop next to him down. After some modification, it became a teahouse room, modeled after the private room of the orchid restaurant, and the entire tea room was divided into a private room for two to four people to sit. In the private room, there are futons and low tables, and on the low table are the Yue kiln celadon tea sets specially ordered by Wuqing, and a qiē is in accordance with the shape of the tea set imitated by the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations.

When it comes to tea, it is sad that although the tea culture in the early Tang Dynasty has started, it did not form a certain style in the early days, and the aristocracy did not like tea very much. Unlike Japan, the tea drinking culture was introduced from the Tang Dynasty, and eventually transcended life and formed the tea ceremony, which has to be said that the Japanese are paranoid in one aspect to the extreme.

Although he appreciated the tea ceremony culture, Wuqing did not want to introduce the tea ceremony, after all, tea is a part of life and should not rise to the spiritual level, not to mention that he does not have a good impression of Japan.

Anyway, Wu Qing made this tea room, mainly so that those dignitaries and nobles who wandered around the East Market had a relatively quiet and special resting place here. If you are interested, you can also go to the side to listen to books, drink gaiwan tea or something.

For this reason, Wu Qing bought eighteen cardamom girls from the traffickers, and some guys, for these cardamom girls, Wu Qing invited Shangguan Wan'er to teach them tea cooking skills, Datang's tea cooking style was completely copied, and from the tea cooking, it can also be seen that Datang at this time is as broad as the sea.

The cooking of tea in the Tang Dynasty was very particular, first of all, it was necessary to choose tea cakes that had been made, and in this era, after the tea leaves were picked, they were to be made into tea cakes for storage, which was not like loose tea in later generations. The second step is to grind the tea cake and wash the dust and debris inside with clean water. The third is to choose water, the first choice is mountain springs, followed by lake water, well water, and river water. The fourth is sencha, which needs to master the heat, and it is also the step that tests the most tea cooking skills, and often the artistic conception of tea is cooked at this stage. Finally, there is tea making, which needs to filter out impurities such as tea powder.

Wu Qing didn't know how to make tea in later generations, so he taught those girls the tea art and could only ask Shangguan Wan'er, the goddess who had learned various skills from her mother's womb. Of course, it was Wu Qing's sacrifice of hue and more than a hundred strings of sugar gourds in exchange.

Fortunately, those girls are ingenious and learn quickly, so the tea room was opened soon.

Now Chang'an's noble sons, celebrities and noblewomen, grass people, and prodigal rangers all come to listen to Wu Qing's storytelling, and they also like what Wu Qing says, and every scene is almost full. If it weren't for the minimum consumption of two cents to enter the Qingxin Pavilion, it is estimated that it would be crowded.

Fortunately, Wu Qing's "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" was also written, and after March storytelling, it was basically finished. In particular, Bao Gong's dragon, tiger and dog three-seat guillotine knife is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Of course, under Wu Qing's deliberate rendering, chivalry and righteousness are things that people pay attention to.

On this day, Wu Qing snapped a slap and said: "The three heroes are loyal to the liver and brave, and the five rats are generous to death, this is the great man of chivalry, for the country and the people." As the people of the Tang Dynasty, my generation should serve the imperial court, and then die. ”

"Good, good! Well said! ”

"Although the five rats are the generations of the rivers and lakes, they serve the court and eventually sacrifice their lives for the country, which is really a model for our generation!"

The praise was endless, and Princess Taiping also burst into tears when she heard that the brocade mouse dressed as a man finally died in the copper net and iron rope array. She likes chivalrous people, often disguised as men to go out of the streets, she especially likes the brocade mouse Bai Yutang from the beginning, and later asked Wuqing the brocade rat how it ended up many times. I didn't expect it to be such an ending, and I almost scolded, but when I thought of maintaining the princess's demeanor, I glared at my big beautiful eyes, and I threw my sleeves away angrily.

However, Shangguan Wan'er in the corner liked the royal cat Zhanzhao quite a lot, but unfortunately Zhanzhao also died, which made her not sad, looking at Wu Qing who was walking towards her, staring at Wu Qing angrily.

There was a lot of discussion in the lobby, some people were very dissatisfied with such an ending, and some people even scolded, complaining about the idol in their hearts, but Wu Qing could only show his Mona Lisa smile.

Suddenly, a shout came from outside the door.

"Get out of the way! There's a guy named Wuqing here? ”

It turned out that the catcher from Wannian County rushed in with a few officials.

Wu Qing stopped, separated the crowd, and arched his hand: "It's Wu Qing down there, I don't know what happened to adults?" ”

Catch quickly couldn't help but say, and shouted, "Take it away!" ”

The official immediately set up Wu Qing and walked directly out of the door, and the people in the lobby reacted at this time, and they didn't know what to do, after all, they were just listening to books.

Shangguan Wan'er's originally angry little face showed a touch of anxiety, she knew that Princess Taiping was also listening to books in the museum, and she searched with beautiful eyes, but there was no figure of Princess Taiping and her group. At this time, Aunt Wu heard the news from Lao Li Tou, and also came downstairs, and when she asked, she knew that Wu Qing had been arrested by Wannian County, and she didn't know what was going on. It stands to reason that the taxes that should be paid have also been paid, and she really doesn't know what crime Wu Qing has committed.

Lao Li Tou comforted: "Madam, let's close the door first, old man, I will go to Wannian County to inquire first, what did you do?" ”

Aunt Wu could only do this, so she asked Xu Xiaoying and Wang Xiu to command the men to close the door, and Lao Li Tou went to Wannian County to inquire about the news.

As for Shangguan Wan'er, she is a Yun Shao of the Teaching Workshop Division, and she has no power, so she can only go back to the Teaching Workshop Division to consult with her mother.

Wu Qing didn't know what he had committed, and he was directly locked up in the county jail, and no one interrogated, as if no one cared about it. He asked the soldiers, and the soldiers didn't pay any attention to him, and he shouted a few times, and then he lost his strength, and his heart couldn't help but be clouded, who was trying to harm himself?

Lao Li Tou came back from the inquiry and said to Aunt Wu: "Madam, the county lieutenant said that the son has committed three major crimes of killing his head." ”

"The great crime of killing the head?" Aunt Wu almost fainted, and hurriedly asked, "What is the sin you asked?" ”

Lao Li Tou said: "The county lieutenant said that it is already a felony for someone to report that Gongzi opened a literature museum privately, it is a felony to gather a crowd to bewitch the people, and it is also a felony to evade taxes, and these are all crimes of killing heads." ”

Aunt Wu suddenly felt that her eyes were dark, and she fainted. Lao Li Tou hurriedly asked the maids to hold on, and asked Xu Xiaoying to press hard among Aunt Wu's people.

It didn't take long for Aunt Wu to wake up and cry loudly: "We are a family of duty, and we have to do business for a living, and we have committed a capital crime if we think about it." Qing'er, my son, how good is this? ”

Everyone had tears in their eyes, although those maids had come to Qingxin Hall for a relatively short time, they had never been beaten and scolded, and the lady treated them very well, and now seeing this qiē, I couldn't help but feel sad.

Since Empress Wu ascended the throne of the queen, clear dissidents, the whole ** no one against Empress Wu, Empress Wu's power can be said to be in full swing, her mother Yang, was named Mrs. Rongguo, sister Wu Shun was named Mrs. Korea, Mrs. Han entered the palace and had a personal affair with Gaozong, and later Wushun's daughter Helan Minyue was also favored by Gaozong and named Mrs. Wei, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, Wushun and Helan Minyue died successively, as for the cause of death, there are different opinions. However, Wushun's son Helan Minzhi changed his surname to Wu, inherited the title of Zhou Guogong from Wuhou's father, a bachelor of Hongwenguan, and Lantai Taishi Ling, and left a cavalry attendant.

Mrs. Rongguo's Yang Mansion is in Pingkangfang, and now Mrs. Rongguo is a relative of the emperor, and her status is extremely honorable, and it is difficult for the ladies of Chang'an to see each other, not to mention that the Yang family is eighty-six years old, and she is too lazy to move around.

On this day, I just appeased Taiping, who came angrily for some reason, and felt a little tired. I don't want a maid to tell her that a woman who claims to be a member of her family wants to see her.

After thinking about it, does Yang have any other family members? Is it the cousin's heir? So I decided to meet him.

Soon, Yang saw a woman hurrying over, and Yang felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

When the woman saw the old Yang, she knelt on the ground, wept silently, and cried: "My mother, do you still know Lan'er?" ”
