Han Dao world

Chapter 1158
While the two were talking, someone tapped on the wall of the car.

Liu Xie opened the car window a slit, revealing half of the boy boy He Yan's face.

"Your Majesty, the Yinfang is coming soon."

"Understood." Liu Xie closed the car window and said to Xun Yu, "We'll get out of the car earlier and enter through the side door, trying not to disturb other people. The Yinfang is expanding recently, and the side door cannot be used for driving."

Xun Yu nodded and temporarily interrupted the topic.

The car stopped, and the two got out of the car. Guided by two maids who came to welcome them, they passed the side door and entered the backyard of Yinfang.Except for Xun Wenqian's mother and daughter, only Shi A and another swordsman on scattered horses followed, and the others and their chariots and horses all left far away.

Mrs. Tang was waiting in the backyard. When they met, she bowed and pleaded guilty to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie waved his hand. "Sister-in-law is the owner of the Yinfang, so guests can do whatever they want, as it should be."

Mrs. Tang was a little embarrassed.No matter how you listen to it, Liu Xie's words are a bit angry.

Others can be guests as they please, but the emperor is no ordinary guest.Even if it does not rise to the height of "Under the Putian, could it be the land of the king", as far as Yinfang is concerned, the emperor is the real master.

From the original proposal to the subsequent operation, the emperor is the driving force behind it.

Among other things, without the two stable businesses of Dibao and textbooks, she may not be able to run better than other printing workshops.Without the backing of the emperor, she would not be able to invite Wang Can and others to hold a book recommendation meeting.

"Your Majesty's words make my concubines ashamed."

Just as Liu Xie was about to say more, Xun Wenqian smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about these things, and arrange a seat as soon as possible. The guests will come later, and it's inappropriate for you to not show up."

Madam Tang blushed.

When Xun Wenqian gets along with her, she has always been called her aunt by the relationship of the mother's family, but now she is called sister-in-law by the relationship of the husband's family. Of course, it is to put the emperor before the father's family, but also to remind her that the emperor treats her not only It is the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, and there are family factors.

"Your Majesty, please."

Mrs. Tang walked sideways and led Liu Xie and others to the prepared private room upstairs.There are carved window ribs here, so you can overlook the entire hall without worrying about being seen by people downstairs.

Mrs. Tang also said that in order to deceive people and prevent people from guessing that the emperor was here, she invited the female relatives of several families and arranged them in the opposite room.The two rooms are far apart, so as long as you don't speak loudly, no one can hear what's going on inside.

"Whose family do they all belong to?" Xun Wenqian asked.

"The widow of the former Taiwei Zhang Wen, the wives of the Lou Chuan school captain Lou Gui and the false school captain Huang Zhong, the wife of Zhang Ji, a famous doctor in Nanyang Herbal Medicine Hall, and the wife of He Xian, the treasurer of Baicao Hall..."

Mrs. Tang gave several names in one go, all of them were either rich or noble, and they were all representatives of the big Nanyang family.

Liu Xie nodded and took his seat calmly. "Sister-in-law, go get busy, don't worry about me. Mr. Xun and I still have something to talk about."

Mrs. Tang smiled, served tea with her own hands, and then withdrew.

Liu Xie picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said to Xun Yu, "Taste this tea, Mr. Xun. It's your Yingchuan tea. It's roasted with a new method, and you can't see it outside."

Xun Yu listened, smiled slightly, and picked up the teacup.

Since the popularity of tea, various drinking methods have emerged one after another, making people dizzy.First there was milk tea, then ginger tea, scented tea, sugar tea, and more recently clear tea and bitter tea without any condiments added.Some are boiled, some are brewed, some are soaked, and each has its own advantages.Tea trees have been discovered all over the place. Although there are mountains in Yingchuan, it is not heard that there is good tea.

Otherwise he would have known.

He is not in Yingchuan, but he has always been in contact with his hometown, and he is very well informed.

What's more, Mrs. Tang also kept close contact with him, and often sent people to send him some novelties, including tea from various places.If there is good tea, there is no reason for him not to know it.

After tasting it carefully, Xun Yu had to admit that he had never drunk the tea.

"What kind of tea is this?"

Xun Wenqian said: "The tea my sister-in-law grows herself has just been cultivated. There is only one tea tree, and the yield is only two taels. I don't give it away, I keep it for myself to drink."

"When did she return to Yingchuan to grow tea?"

"When I visited relatives last time, I found the tea species in Songshan."

Xun Yu was puzzled and didn't dare to say more.

Mrs. Tang's home is in Yancheng, which is in a balanced location, not close to Songshan Mountain.What did she go to Songshan for?It is definitely not as simple as just wandering around the foot of the mountain to find tea trees.

"Your Majesty, it seems to be Wang Can's voice." Xun Wenqian said in a low voice.

Liu Xie listened intently, and sure enough, he heard Wang Can's voice.

In fact, Wang Can is not suitable for talking too much. He has a slight stutter, and he can't hear it normally. Once the voice is loud or the debate is heated, it will be more obvious.

He was obviously a little excited today, and he could hear it clearly on the second floor.

"Gentlemen, the purpose of getting together today is not to let you taste the fragrant tea and snacks of Yinfang. Although I admit that the fragrant tea and snacks of Yinfang are unforgettable, I am afraid that you will still be there after you go back. It takes a few days. However, we cannot be satisfied with our appetites, and there are more important things to discuss. This is the karma of a sage.”

The originally noisy downstairs quieted down, only the sound of "papa", which should be the sound of Wang Can slapping the pages of the book.

Liu Xie glanced at the manuscript prepared on the case, and couldn't help laughing.

Mrs. Tang is very careful in her work. She has prepared a copy of the selected articles and books, which are placed in front of them and can be read at any time.The same is true in front of the guests who come downstairs, Wang Can slapped them.

"A sage has three immortalities, one is to make virtue and make meritorious deeds. We, the scholars, dare not speak falsely and make meritorious deeds. We can only make contributions in establishing words. Most of you present here are enlightened with long hair. "As for the Five Classics, I have been involved with hundreds of schools of thought, and have worked hard for more than ten years. Even if the books I have read are not as rich as five carts, I still have one or two carts."

Someone said loudly: "In terms of reading, who can compare with you, Wang Zhongxuan. Before there was a book donated by Cai Bojie, and later there was a collection of Lantai. Those who have read the eyes may be so huge that a hundred carts can't fit it." Bar?"

Everyone laughed, there was no lack of admiration for Wang Can in their words, but there was a sense of banter when they read carefully.

No matter how much you read a book, if you can't grasp its meaning, it is just a mobile library.For Wang Can, who has a photographic memory, this is not so much flattery as ridicule.

"Who was that person just now?" Liu Xie asked softly.

Xun Wenqian frowned, unable to guess for a moment.

He Yan came over and said softly: "If my guess is right, it should be Pan Jun. Pan Jun, whose name is Chengming, was born in Wuling Hanshou. , was a little dissatisfied with Wang Can, and argued with Wang Can many times. There is no reason for him not to come to such a grand event today. It's just that it was so fierce at the beginning, which is a bit unusual."

"Why is it unusual?"

"Although Pan Jun is a scholar, he is good at the art of war. He often said that a battle is like using a soldier. You should stop it with silence and strike later. It's not like his style to be aggressive as soon as you open your mouth like this."

He Yan thought for a while, and a little excitement appeared in his eyes. "Unless... there are reinforcements."

Xun Yu listened from the side, glanced at He Yan out of the corner of his eye, and frowned inadvertently.

He Yan showed aggressive habits before he was an adult, and he was probably influenced by the emperor.
