Chapter 290: King Wei Wailing
Li Yue carefully observed the cotton cloth, "Got it." ”
Aunt Yang smiled and nodded.
"Husband!" She walked into the house with the cloth in her hand, "Look at the cotton cloth we make in our village." ”
Zhang Yang put down his hand and still needed to polish a few iron pestles, took off his leather gloves and took over the cotton cloth.
In her eyes, the cotton cloth produced in her village is better than silk, which is the so-called Aiwu and Wuba.
Zhang Yang tried the feel of the cotton cloth: "It's not bad." ”
"Well, although it is not as silky as silk, I think it is already very good, and in addition to our own labor costs, the price of this cotton cloth can also be very low, and the palace also arranges autumn gardens."
took Li Yue's invitation again, Zhang Yang opened it and looked at it.
The people who can go to this kind of garden are all royal relatives and clan members, as well as Li Shimin's trusted courtiers, and there will be many nobles there.
Zhang Yang looked up at her.
Li Yue was a little twisted, "I listen to my husband." ”
Putting the invitation aside, Zhang Yang said with a smile: "The garden is in the second half of this month, so we won't make a decision first." ”
The husband and wife are far away from the clan and the powerful, maybe the people who participate in the garden are Li Shimin's relatives, and they are all Li Shimin's relatives, and everyone's life is irrelevant to others.
Those in the clan are no different from strangers.
After a grinding of rice, the bear was aggrieved and could not crawl on the ground.
Zhang Yang came to the mill to clean up the rice, and said in a low voice: "You just eat too much, look at what you have become fat, and Dora Mill will give you weight loss in the future." ”
The bear shook his ears and opened his mouth very lazily.
The rice is soaked for a day and night, then boiled twice and allowed to cool for fermentation.
Now that the weather is cool, it's a good day to ferment sake.
These days, in addition to going out to buy groceries, they go to the palace every few days, and the couple are basically at home.
After handing over many errands in the East Palace to Zhang Da'an, and establishing a good relationship with the prince, it is much more convenient to send some rice into the East Palace.
These days, the food at home is very good, and all they eat is rice.
Xiao Wu's activities on weekdays are either bullying the bear, or playing with shuttlecock by himself, and most of the time he is still doing questions.
The rice has been fermented for about ten days, and Zhang Yang has seen the color and can make wine today.
Zhang Yang added an extra distillation in the process of brewing.
Start distilling from the pot and start distilling, in the matter of drinking, Li Yue is very attentive to Xiao Wu and does it himself, one big and one small sit on a small bench, controlling the heat.
Zhang Yang watched the wine slowly distilled out, and reminded: "This heat is good, the fire must not be too big, and it should not be small." ”
Li Yue nodded vigorously, "You can drink home-brewed rice wine tonight?" ”
"Hmm."
Soon the courtyard was filled with the smell of wine, and Zhang Yang put the first bowl of distilled wine aside.
When people are unlucky, they will swallow cold water, and when they are unlucky, there will be uninvited guests when they brew a drink.
Li Shimin came, not only did he come, but he also brought Li Chengqian and Li Liqing.
"Sister Huang!" Li Lizhi still threw herself into Li Yue's arms as always, and then she looked at Xiao Wu happily, "Senior sister! ”
Xiao Wu saluted solemnly, "Senior sister." ”
Li Shimin took Li Chengqian into the courtyard, but he was not polite and occupied the only rocking chair in the courtyard.
This is Li Lizhen's first time to come to the house as a guest, she glanced at the courtyard, "Sister Huang's home is so small." ”
Li Yue held her and said with a smile: "The size of the home is not important, the important thing is whether you live happily." ”
Li Lizhi raised her head and asked, "Is the imperial sister happy?" ”
Li Yue smiled softly, "You'll know when you get married in the future." ”
"Hmph, I don't want to get married." Li Lizhi turned her head willfully.
Li Shimin smelled the aroma of wine, "I heard that there have been a lot of voices talking about Young Master Zhang of the East Palace recently, and he is on duty for three days a day, does my errand make you feel so idle?" ”
Li Chengqian smiled apologetically.
Since the prince can accompany Li Shimin to visit so calmly, it should not be a big deal.
"Chen has been feeling unwell recently, and I don't know what's wrong with it lately, and I've always caught a cold, and my body's immunity has dropped a lot."
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "I don't care about your affairs in the East Palace, but this time you have to go to the autumn garden." ”
Zhang Yang brought a bowl of wine to Li Shimin, "The wine just brewed, Your Majesty will taste it." ”
Li Shimin picked up the wine bowl and tasted it when he heard this, "Well, the sweetness is very light, and the wine is fragrant." ”
Feeling that something was wrong, Li Shimin took another sip, "Your wine has no sour taste, but it is a rare good wine." ”
Zhang Yang arched his hand and said: "I added a distillation process, Your Majesty quickly drank it while it was hot." ”
Watching Li Shimin pour another sip, Zhang Yang asked again: "Does Your Majesty need to serve with snacks?" ”
"No need." After taking a sip of rice wine, Li Shimin was still savoring.
Feeling that someone was twisting the muscles in his back, Zhang Yang turned around and gave Li Yue a reassuring look.
Then a gust of cold wind blew, and the strength of the wine began to rise, Li Shimin frowned and held his forehead, "This wine tastes bland to drink, but it is so intoxicating." ”
"Your Majesty, is this drunk?"
Li Shimin staggered to his feet, "You can rest assured of my drinking." ”
After speaking, he was about to fall down, but Li Chengqian hurriedly supported him, "Father, let's go back to the palace first." ”
Li Shimin couldn't support his body anymore and nodded.
"I just arrived at the royal sister's house, and I haven't sat down for a while."
Li Lizhi was aggrieved.
Li Chengqian said: "You can come again another day." ”
Zhang Yang handed her two meat buns that were still hot, "Next time, I will bring you delicious food into the palace." ”
Li Lizhi chewed the meat bun in her mouth, looked at the cauldron that was making wine with a small face, and then left with her.
When everyone left, Li Yue closed the door of his house, "How do you take the first pot of wine for my father to drink?" ”
Zhang Yang said melancholy: "Your father and the emperor finally came to be a guest, of course, you have to use good wine." ”
Li Yueqiao glared, "You obviously did it on purpose." ”
"Yes, I did it on purpose, and I can't get rid of your father, anyway, he drank it himself."
Li Yue sat down again, "Lizhi is a smart child, she must have seen the clues, and she also glanced at the wine pot before leaving." ”
"So what? Anyway, your father said it was good wine. ”
The wine in the pot continued to brew.
Li Yue likes wine, and sitting by the pot and smelling the richest aroma of wine and guarding the fire is a great torture for her.
Seeing that her husband returned to the house, Li Yue took out her small wooden bowl and scooped a small bowl and took a sip, and then smiled happily, she hadn't drunk for a long time.
Seeing Xiao Wu looking at him, Li Yue put down the wine bowl with a weak heart, sat down again and explained, "Is it right to taste the taste of wine?" ”
This time Li Shimin came in a hurry and left in a hurry, and he said one thing, that is, the garden of Qujiangchi cannot be shirked, if you don't go, you will have to investigate the affairs of the East Palace.
The hateful Li Shimin can do anything to blackmail his courtiers, and he used to think too well of his character.
For dinner, there was wine at home, and Li Yue carried a small pot.
It is rare to be able to drink wine once, Li Yue tasted it carefully, and drank every sip very carefully.
Zhang Yang took a sip of vegetable soup, "This wine is not strong to drink, but it has a lot of stamina, so don't drink too much." ”
"Hmm." Li Yue squinted and nodded with a smile.
Xiao Wu got off the table very consciously after eating, she took the bowl and used some broth with rice, and then covered it with two or three pieces of salted meat, according to the master's words, this salted meat can give Xiao Xiong the salt he needs.
Pouring the rice into a bowl on the floor, the bear buried his head and ate happily.
Xiao Wu put away the corners of his skirt and squatted down to stroke its smooth hair.
Drinking with a daughter-in-law is a very painful thing, and it should be said that drinking with a woman who drinks a very terrible amount of alcohol is like this.
A pot of wine went down, and Li Yue showed no signs of getting drunk.
After drinking a pot of wine, she still blushed and couldn't get enough, "Sure enough, the home-brewed wine is different, it's delicious." ”
Zhang Yang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, "Drink up to three times a month." ”
"Is this a house rule?"
"Yes." Zhang Yang nodded, "This is a family rule, I'll write it later." ”
If there is one more family rule like this on weekdays, she will have to theorize a little, and today she is in a good mood and has no objections.
Taking advantage of the fact that his daughter-in-law was still a little drunk, maybe she would regret it when she woke up, Zhang Yang hurriedly wrote this family rule.
Look at the family law on the side, there is only one tickle in the family law, and then look back at the daughter-in-law, she is sitting in the yard looking at the moon beautifully.
Zhang Yang wrote another family law: If you violate the house rules, you can't drink alcohol for a month.
The stamina of rice wine is still very large, and Xiao Wu doesn't have to do it tonight, Li Yue sat in the courtyard for half an hour and then went back to the room to rest.
After cleaning up the yard, Zhang Yang looked at the storeroom at home again to confirm that the door was locked, for fear that the little bear would smell the wine and eat the wine lees.
Zhang Yang poured some wine into its bowl, and the bear licked it with a puff.
I knew it had been longing for a long time since the brewing began, as evidenced by its obsessive gaze at the door of the storeroom.
The daughter-in-law is a good wine, and the bears she raised are also a little good wine.
The matter of visiting the garden in Qujiangchi can't be pushed off, Zhang Yang held his somewhat drowsy head and looked at the night sky to wash.
The three-star high shine into the cold winter, and the Pleiades high shine from the astrological sign that winter is coming early.
This is the benefit of reading books on weekdays, the ancients' understanding of the starry sky and stars was recorded by the experience of predecessors, and then they came to their own conclusions.
Although they do not understand the revolution and rotation of the earth, they can make their own conclusions by recording them year after year.
This kind of astrological sign is also often learned from reading the books of Chongwendian, but I didn't expect to be able to use some of it, and I benefited a lot.
Because of drinking the night before, Zhang Yang got up a little late, Li Yue made breakfast by himself, and took Xiao Wu to make porridge with salted duck eggs.
Zhang Yang picked up a bowl of porridge and was about to eat.
"Husband." Li Yue interrupted, "Why is there one more family law?" ”
Zhang Yang peeled the eggshell, "I just set it up yesterday." ”
Putting down the chopsticks a little unconvinced, Li Yue sat upright, "Then I will also add a family law." ”
"You say."
"If the husband violates one of the family rules, the husband will be deducted from a month's pocket money."
"How much pocket money do I have saved with you?"
"Two pieces of money."
Seeing that she answered so decisively, Zhang Yang nodded clearly, this kind of family method of his daughter-in-law is not lethal to him.
Li Yue asked her aunt to take care of Xiao Wu for a day, and she went back to the house to change her clothes.
"Husband, I've changed my clothes."
Zhang Yang washed the dishes and chopsticks and walked into the room, opened his hands and let her undress, and then put on a gray and white coat.
Li Yue's coat is white with some pink, which she spent a lot of money to dye by the dyeing people in Chang'an City.
She won't be frugal in this kind of thing, and the rich woman is the most expensive if the rich woman wants to dye it.
The clothes are also embroidered with mottled embellishments, and the style is a couple's outfit.
When I walked out of the house, I saw Li Tai, a little fat man, sitting outside the door.
"Why don't you come in and sit down?"
"I'm not in the mood, I want to go to Qujiangchi with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law."
Li Yue also packed up some food at home.
This little fat man's interest is indeed not high, and he bows his head all the way.
Zhang Yang asked, "Why is His Royal Highness King Wei so depressed?" ”
Li Tai shook his head and sighed, "It's not my father yet, our factory has made a lot of soap." ”
"It's a good thing."
"But my father said that I only cared about buying and selling and had no intention of studying, and even the matter of the Chronicles of the Territory was delayed." Li Tai lowered his head, "Brother-in-law, I want to give up now." ”
Listening to his decadent words, Zhang Yang patiently spoke, "If His Royal Highness the King of Wei is a street vendor, your father will definitely blame you." ”
"Sure enough, even you said that." Li Tai's voice lowered.
"The petty merchant is not important to your father at all, but if you have a very large fortune, and this wealth can be used to support the society."
After listening to what her husband said, Li Yue nodded very approvingly, and took over the words: "At that time, my father will not care whether Qingque is a businessman at all, but will consider how much role Qingque and Sheji have. ”
"This can not only cover up the business affairs, but also make His Majesty rely on King Wei, identity has never been a problem, the point is how big the role of King Wei is."
The husband and wife relay each other with a very tacit understanding.
Li Tai stopped and covered his face, and suddenly cried.
Zhang Yang said impatiently: "His Royal Highness King Wei, why are you still crying." ”
Li Tai choked up, "Brother-in-law, sister Huang, I will definitely do business well, this will be a lifelong ideal, and I will never let my career collapse in the middle of the road." ”
Li Yue shook his head, "It's not appropriate to take out the middle way collapse and use it like this, and you have to read more books in the future to avoid being laughed at." ”
"I know, I will definitely listen to the words of the imperial sister and brother-in-law in the future." Li Tai wiped away his tears.
The collapse of adulthood is often in the inconspicuous words and deeds, and the collapse of children is often related to their own parents.
It is not easy to be the emperor's son, and it is even more difficult to be Li Shimin's son.
Just walked to Qujiang Pond, the more luxuriously dressed people along the way, this is the upper circle of Datang, how many people squeeze their heads to enter.
I didn't know that this was a huge vanity fair.
