Chapter 138: Angry Wei Guifei
The most beneficial thing from the tea fire is the Qinglou, which is a gathering place for literati and artists. In the past, they used to talk about wine, but now they drink tea for fun, which looks so elegant.
Among them, the two top brands of Yirenju are the most eye-catching, and the two learned Li Shen's tea art and played the tea ceremony to the fullest.
makes a group of Chang'an sons and brothers even more fascinated, and many rich children are willing to spend a lot of money in order to be able to have a cup of tea with the two. The old bustard smiled even more and increased the publicity of the two top brands.
But it's just to recruit more people, come out every day to show your face, and whoever rewards him more will make him a pot of tea.
As for being accompanied, don't think about it, since Li Shen said that he wanted to buy Yirenju, Lao Bustard didn't have the idea of letting Su Xiaoxiaoliu pick up guests. If King Ji is for the two of them, then didn't she die miserably?
--------------
Wei Guifei's father is called Wei Yuancheng, the eldest son and eldest grandson of Yunguo Gongfang, who attacked Yunguo Gong, but passed away early, and the title was passed to his brother Wei Kuangbo, which can also prove that Wei Guifei has no brothers.
This day was Wei Yuancheng's death day, and Wei Guifei went out of the palace to worship. The Wei family in Chang'an all went out to help prepare sacrifices and clean the cemetery. Originally, Wei Guifei's mother was buried in Luoyang. Later, Wei Guifei went to Chang'an to become a concubine, so she arranged for her parents to be buried together in Chang'an.
The concubine must have been a large number of honor guards when she traveled, and Wei Guifei's parents were buried in Weiqu, the ancestral land of the Jingzhao Wei family. (The place name of Weiqu is similar to a village or town, as the base of the Wei family.) The Du family also has Du Qu. )
When Wei Guifei came here, everything had already been packed up, and the next thing was the cumbersome memorial process. It took more than an hour to end, and then Wei Guifei went down the mountain to Wei Ting's mansion, and Wei Guifei should call Wei Ting uncle.
Wei Guifei's great-grandfather and Wei Ting's grandfather were brothers. It is calculated that Wei Guifei is exactly the fifth generation. Therefore, it can be regarded as a relative who has not left the house, otherwise Wei Guifei would not be able to promote Wei Ting many times.
The officials of the Wei family in Beijing have all come, and there are more than two dozen of them. Now everyone knows Wei Guifei's status in the harem, and the purpose of coming here is also to see if Wei Guifei can be lifted in front of Li Shimin.
Wei Ting stood up and said to Wei Guifei: "Niangniang, we will clean the mausoleum of Brother Yuancheng regularly. Rest assured, it is. It's a pity that the eldest brother left early and didn't see the current scenery of the mother. Wei Ting sighed as he spoke.
"Uncle, thank you for helping to take care of my father's mausoleum for so many years. Everyone is a family, so let's just say anything. Wei Guifei said solemnly.
"Niangniang, this is what we should do, just like Niangniang said, we are all a family. In fact, there are some things that a family should help each other with.
It's just that Niangniang also knows that the tea accounts for 20% of the income of my Wei family's main inputs, and the new tea sold in the boutique pavilion of His Royal Highness King Ji in the past half a month has made our Wei family lose a lot.
In addition, I also lost a lot of money in the matter of the book, I don't know if Niangniang can think of a way, and Niangniang doesn't want the Wei family to suffer losses. Wei Ting told the story again.
Wei Guifei is not an ordinary person, everyone is from a beautiful background, and her two marriages have made her see the warmth and coldness of the world. So he didn't answer and threw the question back and said, "What does the uncle think should be done to avoid the loss of the Wei family." ”
"It would be best if King Ji could not sell tea, but this is difficult. So the best way is for Niangniang to persuade King Ji, since they are all a family. You might as well share the method of making tea with the Wei family. In this way, King Ji has nothing to lose, and my Wei family has nothing to lose. Wei Ting stroked his beard and said.
"Hehe, uncle, you mean to ask my son to hand over the method of making tea to the Wei family, so that the Wei family can make a lot of money. So what good will I get? Wei Guifei sneered.
If other people had something else, Wei Guifei would definitely help if she was in the way, but these people wanted to touch her son's things, how could they agree.
"Niangniang, the Wei family is also your mother's family. Is it also appropriate to do something for the family, not to mention that we don't take it for nothing, we will pay 5,000 yuan to buy it as you see it. Wei Ting's face was not good, he heard the reluctance in Wei Guifei's words.
"Uncle, have you heard that half a month ago, His Majesty summoned the generals of the six departments of the three provinces and the sixteen guards to drink tea." Wei Guifei asked expressionlessly
"Of course I heard about it, and that was the first time that new tea appeared." Wei Ting didn't understand why Wei Guifei asked this
"Then have you ever heard that Your Majesty's tea is one or two tea leaves and one or two gold?" Wei Guifei said, and finally her voice was a little louder.
"A tael of tea and a tael of gold?" Everyone present was taken aback, they heard about Li Shimin's convening of the minister to taste tea, but no one revealed the specific details.
"It's impossible for Niangniang, the first-class tea in the boutique pavilion is only five or two, where do you want a tael of gold." In the matter, Wei Kun said that the relationship between Wei Kun and Wei Guifei is closer than Wei Ting, and they belong to four generations
"Uncle, you can go and ask Fang Gong, Wei Gong, and the eldest grandson. The emperor drank a special tea, which belonged to the tribute tea specially made by my son for His Majesty.
The taste is far more mellow than first-class tea, only His Majesty and the queen have a tube in the palace, that is, one catty, the prince has two tubes, Changle has a tube, and the rest are in the palace.
Do you know how many fiefdom princes can't buy a tube if they want to pay 100,000 guan, and you actually want 5,000 guan to buy the production method. Has the Wei family now fallen to the point of forcible seizure? Or the meaning of the big house, "Wei Guifei didn't give in at all."
"Guifei Niangniang, you are also from my Jingzhaowei family. Shouldn't you do something for the family, the family has cultivated you for so many years, and now that you are above 10,000 people in the harem, shouldn't you give back something to the family. Wei Ting's face was not very good. Since ancient times, women have been sacrificed as a sacrifice.
"My current status is earned back by my son with money, do you know how much money my son has asked me to send to the treasury in the past few years for my position in the harem. More than a million habits!
In order to complete the task given by His Majesty, my son will also lose one or two million yuan to the capital every year. Do you really think that I am in such a position because of you? Don't forget, you can have today because I have elected you many times in front of Your Majesty, so you have today.
And you, you, you, and a few of you, which one didn't I help you get into the shi, is the Wei family so ungrateful now? "Wei Guifei is very sad, her parents are no longer there, and her uncle is gone. There are also a few cousins who don't have much to say at home now.
Everyone was silent after hearing this, and at the same time, they were shocked by Li Shen's wealth. Millions of dollars a year, say take it out, take it out.
Wei Ting was also angry for a while. If this is an ordinary Wei family woman, she can still teach a lesson, but this is a concubine, a concubine who is particularly favored now.
Wei Guifei stood up. He said to a few cousins: "Siyan Siren Si Si Si Li, let's go, and there will be fewer people here in the future." With that, he got up and walked outside.
