Chapter 67: Mid-Autumn Festival
Li Yue looked at the title on the wooden board and the two drawn examples, frowned on his little face, and began to calculate.
The weather after autumn is somewhat dry.
The day was the same as usual, Zhang Yang saw a notice on the street, which said that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming, and His Majesty had decreed that the curfew would be lifted for one day.
Chang'an City has always had a curfew rule.
Every time it is time for the Chinese New Year, the curfew will also be lifted for a short time.
It's about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It is a day to eat mooncakes.
Zhang Yang went to the street to buy some red beans.
Li Yue washed the red beans and said, "What are we going to do to eat?" ”
Zhang Yang said: "Of course, it is to eat moon cakes. ”
Li Yue said curiously: "Moon cakes? Would you still do this? ”
Zhang Yang grinned, "I did it myself when I was a child. ”
While kneading the dough skillfully, Zhang Yang said to Li Yue: "Soak the red beans first." ”
"Hmm!"
Li Yue rolled up his sleeves and began to work.
In the palace, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, and the court and the central government have also begun to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
A group of royal relatives of the Guogong clan were invited to the Taiji Hall by Li Shimin.
In the Wude Palace, the current Emperor Taishang is playing cards with several eunuchs, and it is Xingtou at this moment.
Li Chengqian stood aside and said, "Grandpa Huang, everyone has arrived at the Taiji Palace, and the time has come." ”
Li Yuan held the card in his hand and said, "What's the hurry, wait for me to finish." ”
The three eunuchs then trembled with the cards in their hands.
The trembling of one of the old eunuchs made a Zhang Er.
"Huh?!"
Li Yuan stared, and his old face darkened suddenly.
The old eunuch hurriedly took back the two that had just been played, "The old slave played the wrong card, the emperor forgive me." ”
After saying that, he took out another five.
Only then did Li Yuan's expression soften and hit a six, and said in a low voice, "I'm done." ”
Cleaning up the cards on the table, Li Yuan said: "It is said that there are no regrets, and you people must also play cards without regrets, you know?" ”
The two eunuchs smiled and nodded vigorously.
After arranging the cards, Li Yuan said, "Come again!" ”
Still coming? Li Chengqian wanted to cry, stood aside and said anxiously: "Grandpa Huang, what time is it?" ”
Li Yuan sneered: "What's the hurry? ”
The game of playing cards is very good, and now Li Yuan doesn't lose his temper, doesn't smash things, and doesn't complain.
The Emperor Taishang was obsessed with playing cards all day long, and sometimes he didn't sleep for a day and a night.
Everyone was surprised to find that the temper of the Emperor Taishang was much better than before.
The Taiji Hall is very lively, and the table is full of ministers.
Li Shimin looked at everyone with a smile, but there was a vacant position.
That was the position of the Emperor.
Let Cheng Qian go and invite him for so long and still haven't come.
A little eunuch hurriedly came to report and said: "Your Majesty, the emperor is still playing cards, and the prince is persuading him to refuse to come." ”
Li Shimin let out a long sigh, "Okay, let Cheng Qian come back." ”
"Whoa."
On the other side of the palace, Empress Changsun, who was the mistress of the harem, also entertained the daughters of various ministers here.
Empress Changsun had the soap cut into pieces and distribute it to the ladies.
They looked at the small piece of jade fat in their hands and were curious.
They whispered.
This thing still smells good.
Women like fragrant things, so soap is also very rare.
Empress Changsun said to everyone: "This thing is called soap, it was made by Qingque, we were finally able to move around, and this palace wants to share it with you." ”
It's a rarity, and no one has ever seen it.
Something with a scent is also a good thing.
This also shows that the eldest grandson queen is generous.
Empress Changsun continued: "This thing can be used for bathing, washing hands and face, and leaving a residual fragrance after washing. ”
After speaking, there was another discussion.
Inside the Taiji Hall is a group of men, and there is a group of women standing in front of the Lizheng Hall.
The man is responsible for letting Li Shimin win over, and the woman is responsible for letting the eldest grandson and queen take care of it.
The bright moonlight shone on the entire Chang'an City.
Zhang Yang and Li Yue sat in the courtyard, looking up at the bright moonlight in the night sky.
I won't do the questions tonight, and I won't make clothes.
The two of them did nothing and sat quietly in the courtyard.
After eating a bite of the moon cake filled with bean paste, Li Yue took another sip of wine, and his little face was full of enjoyment.
Zhang Yang looked at the bright moon in the night sky, no matter how many tens of thousands of years it was, this moon was still eternal.
The night wind was a little cold, Zhang Yang put on a coat for Li Yue, "Although the body is warm while drinking, don't catch a cold." ”
Li Yue smiled and nodded.
The moon cakes filled with bean paste have completely conquered Li Yue, and sure enough, girls have not had much resistance to desserts throughout the ages.
After a night, there was a knock on the door of the mansion of Li Tai, the king of Wei.
Li Tai, who had been sleeping until the morning, was woken up by someone at home.
The attendant stood aside and said, "His Royal Highness King Wei wake up." ”
Li Tai still closed his eyes and muttered, "What's wrong?" ”
The attendant opened his mouth and said, "There are people outside who want to see His Royal Highness King Wei." ”
Li Tai turned over and said, "No." ”
After another half an hour, the attendant walked into Li Tai's bedroom and said, "There is someone outside His Royal Highness King Wei again. ”
Li Tai whispered, "No." ”
“……”
Another hour passed, and the front of King Wei's mansion was full of people.
This time, the attendant came to Li Tai's bedroom again with a flustered expression, "His Royal Highness King Wei, it's not good." ”
Once or twice, forget it.
How come it again.
At the age of ten, Li Tai sat up on the bed and said angrily: "Disturb the king's sleep three times and five times, don't you want to live!" ”
The attendant knelt on the ground with a puff, "His Royal Highness King Wei, ...... There were a lot of people out there. ”
Li Tai's face was full of disappointment, he got up and got dressed and asked, "There are a lot of people outside?" ”
The squire nodded.
Xin said that he was quite honest during this time, and he didn't get into trouble.
After getting dressed, Li Tai asked again, "What are they coming for?" ”
The attendant whispered, "I'm here to buy soap." ”
"Buy soap?"
Li Tai looked at him, hurriedly washed up and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier." ”
The attendant said with a bitter face: "The villain wants to talk about it, but His Highness ......"
Li Tai walked out of the door and admonished: "In the future, this kind of thing should be said earlier." ”
"The villain understands."
The attendant looked aggrieved, His Royal Highness the King of Wei will not drive the villain out, thinking of the consequences, the attendant sniffed and wanted to cry.
Li Tai walked to his yard and took out a box of soap that had been prepared a long time ago, these soaps had chrysanthemum flavor, mint flavor, peony flower fragrance, and some unknown fragrance.
Even Li Tai himself can't remember what he added to these soaps, it was Zhang Yang who said boldly unleashing his imagination.
There was a noise of people outside the mansion.
It seems that Zhang Yang is right, after you have target customers first, business can naturally be done.
