Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 83 Chapter 85: Wu Zhao

As soon as Li Hao opened his mouth, he praised the samurai Xun, which made Wu Yuanqing flustered, but Li Hao still did not declare his identity, and Wu Yuanshuang, who was beside him, was a little irritable, raised his head and asked, "Who are you?"

Li Hao cupped his hands again: "This is Li Hao in Lantian, the word Yuanhao, it's abrupt."

"Lantian Li Hao?" Wu Yuanqing groaned for a moment, his eyes lit up, "Are you Li Hao, a man from Lantian County?"

Li Hao opened his eyes wide and asked in surprise, "Master Hou actually knew that he was here?"

Samurai Wok is Ying Guogong, and Wu Yuanqing's succession to the title will be reduced by one level and become Ying Jungong. Wu Yuanqing is very excited at the moment. After the death of Samurai Wok, the Wu family has declined. There is no way. He was willing to be a salted fish, so he often sent people to Chang'an to inquire about the direction of the court, and occasionally sent people to give gifts to big shots like Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, but every time the gifts were returned, this made him Very depressed.

Although gift-giving has never been successful, he has heard that a young man named Li Hao has risen in Chang'an in the past few years. The funeral was cut, but the crown prince, Wu Wang, Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji all pleaded for him. It can be seen that Li Hao is extraordinary. Even though Li Hao has no official position now, he is definitely a potential stock with a bright future. Oh, Wu Yuanqing is determined to be a salted fish that can stand up, but unexpectedly, Li Hao suddenly appeared in Jingzhou, and even came to worship at his father's grave. Smoke rose from the ancestral grave.

This is a rare opportunity, how could Wu Yuanqing miss it, and hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Li Xiannan quelled the plague in Henan, captured Tuyuhun Khan alive, and quelled the severe drought in Guanzhong. Even the Holy Master praised him as a young hero of the Tang Dynasty. How could I, Wu Yuanqing, not know that?" .”

Li Hao quickly put on a flattered expression: "Your Majesty has praised me so much, I have already been deprived of my title, the word "county male", don't mention it again."

Wu Yuanqing continued to flatter and said: "Brother Yuan Hao is a young talent. He was knighted at the age of 16. The reduction of his title is only temporary. With the talent of a king, how difficult will it be to be a marquis in the future?"

Wu Yuanqing can put a high hat on Li Hao, Li Hao can be modest, talking and talking, even if everyone knows each other, Wu Yuanqing saw that the time was almost up, and said: "Yuan Hao, today you and I are destined, why don't you go to me?" The house uses a cup of tea so that Yuan Qing can enter into the friendship of the landlord."

Li Hao had been waiting for his words for a long time, and hurriedly said: "Hou Ye is so kind, how dare Hao refuse, please!"

Everything is so logical, it is so logical, Lu Yun on the side is a little confused, he really doesn't understand what Li Hao's mind is made of, and why everything is as he has arranged.

In fact, Li Hao was just taking a gamble. He guessed that Wu Yuanqing should be a salty fish who wanted to stand up and would seize every opportunity to climb up. Wu Meiniang is gone.

It was just after noon when he entered Wufu, Datang didn't have the habit of having lunch, so Wu Yuanqing first invited Li Hao to the living room, and then served tea.

As soon as Li Hao saw the tea, Li Hao suddenly had an idea in his mind. He picked up the tea bowl and looked at it, then put it down again. Seeing this, Wu Yuanqing hurriedly asked, "Yuan Hao is not satisfied with the tea in my house?"

"Of course." Li Hao nodded and smiled, "Master Hou may not know about it. Hao has invented a new way of drinking tea, breaking the ancient tea ceremony, and he has his own family. I wonder if Master Hou is interested in trying it?"

Wu Yuanqing wanted to curry favor with Li Hao, so naturally he would not refuse, and nodded happily: "Yuanqing is very honored."

Li Hao asked his servants to fetch new teacups and boiling water, put some tea leaves in each teacup, pour boiling water, and said: "Okay, you're done!"

Seeing this, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang were stunned at the same time. They thought that Li Hao had created such a powerful new tea, but they never expected that there were only two steps from the beginning to the end, putting the tea leaves and pouring the boiling water. It was... too hasty. , Their faces were full of disappointment.

Li Hao had expected their reaction in this way, and said with a smile: "You two, my tea is called making tea. It seems simple, but it is actually not simple at all."

Wu Yuanshuang sneered when he heard the words: "Oh? Why isn't it simple?"

Li Hao smiled like a spring breeze, and explained with his hands: "Of course brewing tea is very simple, but not all teas can be brewed, at least not your tea."

Wu Yuanqing nodded when he heard the words: "I can also see that your tea seems to be different from ours."

"Your Majesty has good eyesight." Li Hao smiled unabated and continued to explain, "My tea is also called stir-fried tea. Stir-fried tea is naturally fried in a pot. You can't use any spatula when frying, you must use Frying in the pan by hand."

Wu Yuanshuang stared and exclaimed, "Isn't that hot?"

"Of course it's hot." Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "That's why I said that my tea is not simple. The process of frying tea is quite complicated. If it is not for a person with superb skills, it is absolutely difficult to complete the process of frying tea. Now you two should know that I Tea is not easy."

Wu Yuanshuang rolled his eyes and snorted coldly: "So what if it's not simple, the most important thing about tea is the taste."

Li Hao said with a smile: "Speaking of the taste, my tea is quite different from the tea you drink. The taste of my tea is simple. When you drink tea, you drink tea. Everything will affect the taste of tea, this is the principle of simplicity and simplicity.”

Hearing what he said so magically, Wu Yuanqing couldn't help asking: "May I have a taste of your tea."

Li Hao spread his hands: "Please."

Wu Yuanqing picked up a cup of tea, looked at it, and found that more than a dozen pointed and long tea leaves were suspended in the tea water, with only small sharp corners protruding from the water. At the moment of holding the teacup, I could smell a fresh fragrance coming to my nostrils. I couldn't describe that feeling, it seemed that my head was awake for a moment.

"It smells so good!" He couldn't help but praised, took a sip, and felt a little bitter taste in the mouth. After swallowing, the fragrance lingered in his tongue and nose for a long time, Wu Yuanqing's eyes lit up, and said : "This tea...is very interesting."

Hearing this, Li Hao laughed and said, "Young Duke, Duke Lu, Duke Zhao, and Duke Ying also said the same thing when they tasted this tea for the first time."

Wu Yuanqing was surprised when he heard the words: "These three princes also drank this tea?"

Li Hao nodded with a smile: "I've always been stingy, and I don't want to share good tea with others. Only friends or distinguished guests can drink my cup of tea. The three princes are distinguished guests, so naturally I can't neglect you. It's my friend, so I can't be stingy."

Lu Yun on the side suppressed his smile when he heard the words, and thought to himself: "Oh, this Li Hao doesn't know what kind of reincarnation he is, he's full of bad things, he's a liar, and he's still a friend? He's trying to beat your sister Woolen cloth."

Wu Yuanqing was very honored to hear Li Hao's words, and hurriedly said happily: "Okay, Yuan Hao is my friend, I have made it."

Seeing that he has already entered the set, Li Hao pushed the boat smoothly and said: "Actually, I have always wanted to promote this tea, so that people in the Tang Dynasty can drink my tea, and at the same time I can make money. This is really the best of both worlds. It’s a pity that we haven’t been able to find a suitable partner.”

Wu Yuanqing said happily after hearing the words: "Why does Yuan Hao need to find other people, I am willing to cooperate with you."

"Oh?" Li Hao pretended to be surprised, "Mr. Ying is really interested in this tea business? But I can say my ugly words first, there is no business that is guaranteed to make money, and you don't know how we drink tea in the Tang Dynasty." I know, they are used to the previous tea, it’s hard to say whether they can accept my fried tea.”

Wu Yuanqing laughed and said, "Yuan Hao has done so much business in Chang'an, when did he lose money?"

"I like to hear that." Li Hao said with a smile, "I have never lost money in business. Since you trust me so much, let me tell you the details of this tea business cooperation. I supply fried tea and you are in charge. Sell, but your selling price must be determined by me, and you can set the price if you want, as long as I nod."

Wu Yuanshuang screamed angrily when he heard the words: "Fart, since we are responsible for selling, why do you set the price? If you set a low price randomly, then we will drink the northwest wind!"

"Yuan Shuang! Shut up!" Wu Yuanqing yelled angrily when he heard the words, and stopped Wu Yuanshuang. Wu Yuanshuang was very upset, but his elder brother was the head of the house, and he didn't dare to resist, so he could only roll his eyes at Li Hao sullenly.

Wu Yuanqing bowed his hands to Li Hao and said apologetically, "Yuan Hao is not to blame, my second brother is outspoken, extremely reckless, and always likes to offend people. I believe you will never set an outrageous price for us."

Li Hao said: "Of course not. Since it is a cooperation, I must ensure that you make money first. Only after you make money can you make money for me, right?"

"That's right, that's exactly how it is." Wu Yuanqing laughed heartily, "If you want to make a fortune, everyone should make a fortune together. This is cooperation."

Li Hao said: "This is just a verbal agreement. I will send you a detailed contract tomorrow. When you confirm that the contract is correct, we can sign it."

"Okay, let's do it like this." Wu Yuanqing nodded happily.

Li Hao got up and looked around, and said: "Mr. Ying, the courtyard of your house is so beautifully arranged. After all, it used to be the residence of the Duke, and it is hundreds of times better than my kennel."

"Where is it?" Wu Yuanqing smiled modestly, "If yours is a dog's nest, then I am a pig's nest, hahaha."

Li Hao also laughed dryly, and said, "You don't mind if I stroll around your house, I want to see the garden layout of your house, and when I go back, I will change it to look like your mansion."

Hearing this, Wu Yuanqing hurriedly spread his hands and said, "Please feel free, please!"

Wu Yuanqing wanted to show Li Hao around as he said that, Li Hao smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Ying, you are busy with your affairs, so you don't need to accompany him in person. You can just have a housekeeper to lead the way."

After Li Hao said this, Wu Yuanqing couldn't insist, and said to the housekeeper, "Steward Liang, this is my master's friend, please take him for a stroll around our house, don't be negligent, you know! "

He spoke very loudly, as if he was afraid that Li Hao would not be able to hear him, his acting skills were exaggerated and he didn't care about it, so he got a bad review.

Butler Liang hurriedly agreed and led Li Hao around.

The Wu family's mansion is really big. After all, it was the former Duke's mansion. Can it not be big, but many gardens have been abandoned. It seems that the Wu family's financial situation is not very good now, and they can't bear to spend the money to repair the gardens.

Li Hao likes to wander around the gate of the inner courtyard, because his purpose is not to hang out, but Wu Zhao. He wants to see what the only female emperor in Chinese history looks like. To be honest, from rare To a certain extent, Wu Zetian is even rarer than Li Shimin. After all, there is only such a female emperor in history, and the giant panda is weak compared to her.

Hard work pays off. When Li Hao passed by the gate of the inner courtyard for the fifth time, he happened to see a girl in a light yellow dress coming out of the inner courtyard. Although Li Hao had never seen Wu Zhao before, he knew it at a glance. It must be Wu Zhao, the future Empress Wu Zetian, because... she is very beautiful and seductive. Although she is only 13 years old, she is already slim and graceful, with creamy skin, cherry red cheeks, willow leaves, and apricot eyes. Hua, she glanced at Li Hao casually, and Li Hao felt the hairs all over his body stand on end, and his little brother began to move around uncontrollably.

"Be good." Li Hao felt terrified, and thought to himself, "No wonder Li Zhi is so devoted to her, this is simply the reincarnation of a vixen, it's terrible, hey, this guy Lu Yun actually peeped at her sleeping naked, how could he stand it When thinking of the last moment, he couldn't help looking at Lu Yun's crotch with strange eyes, and then at Lu Yun's hands, which made Lu Yun look dazed.
