Chapter 813 Dizziness
Thinking of this, she told Zhou Yunsheng: "Go to Prince Jing's Mansion."

As she said that, she smiled apologetically at Lu Qian: "My coachman is from Runzhou, and I am not very familiar with the roads in the capital, so I may walk slowly."

"Lead the way ahead, you just follow me." Lu Qian said, without waiting for Du Jinning to be polite, he rode in front.

Arriving at Prince Jing's Mansion, Du Jinning had just entered the gate when he saw Zhao Chang coming out.

In the past year and a half, because of Zhao Chang's lack of fame, wealth and loyalty, Zhao Hu also gave him a lot of honor, and praised him on various occasions from time to time. His position is no longer as embarrassing as before. Wherever he goes, everyone They all warmed up to him a lot, and he was more frank and open in front of Zhao Yu, Queen Mother Zheng and others, which was what Du Jinning mentioned about him.

Coupled with the benefits he received at the tea ceremony, Zhao Chang was sincerely grateful to Du Jinning.

You must know that in this capital city, there are really not many people who are qualified to welcome Zhao Chang to the gate.

"Jinning." Zhao Chang yelled to Du Jinning more affectionately than others, "I really didn't expect you to actually develop high-yielding rice. I thought you would have to be at least ten or eight years old for such a difficult task. To think you've done it in such a short amount of time."

"Thanks to the emperor." Du Jinning said with a smile, "Without the stable environment and unconditional support from the emperor, no matter how capable I am, I would not be able to research so quickly."

This is her truth.

If it weren't for Zhao He, who is a good person, a good emperor who is dedicated to serving the country and the people, even if she has this ability and the heart to benefit the people, I am afraid she would not dare to show her sharpness in such a short period of time. Learn to take it out.

She knew that Zhao Chang must be surrounded by Zhao Hu's secret son, monitoring Zhao Chang's every move.And her words will also reach Zhao Wei's ears, and will win a bigger chance for everything that follows.

After getting along for several years, Zhao Chang knew Du Jinning very well, and knew that she was not a flattering person.That's what she must have thought.As for whether there is any deep meaning in these words to remind him, I don't know.If so, he is only grateful to Du Jinning.

There was no displeasure on his face, and he followed Du Jinning's words: "That's right, Brother Huang is a good emperor. Under his rule, the Great Song Dynasty prospered, and the country was prosperous and the people were peaceful."

In order to show that what he just said was sincere, Zhao Chang took Du Jinning inside and said, "Jinning, you should know that your teacher has made amazing achievements in the south. Last year's tax revenue It has doubled from the original; I didn’t expect it to be even worse this year. Now it’s only half a year, and the tax revenue has doubled on the basis of last year. The local people’s life is extremely prosperous, and there is no longer a hungry The female phenomenon occurs."

Du Jinning has been communicating with Guan Lehe all the time. She knows about these situations, and she knows more details than Zhao Chang.She also knew that in order to expand the implementation of this new policy, the conflict between Zhao Wei and the aristocratic family intensified, and the situation suddenly reversed.

But she wouldn't say these words to Zhao Chang, she just echoed a few words, and the topic turned to the matter of Lu Jiuyuan and the others going to Japan.

Zhao Chang really wanted to go to Japan to see different scenery, but he also knew that it was impossible in his capacity, so he just said with great interest: "Jin Ning, the scented tea you made is really amazing. I was inspired by you, recently I’m also researching new teas with a group of tea friends, but they haven’t succeeded yet.”

"Oh, really? We'll wait and see." Du Jinning said.

At this point they have come to a place.

This is not the hall or study where Zhao Chang entertained Du Jinning, but an open pavilion. The surrounding scenery is very similar to a certain scenery in the garden designed by Du Jinning.Facing the pond, a rockery was built on the other side. A few evergreen trees were planted beside the rockery, and the surrounding area was composed of moss, sand, gravel, etc., without any flowering plants. The essence of Zen in garden dry landscape courtyard.

Du Jinning also created this kind of artistic conception in a corner of the garden in Runzhou.

She looked at it curiously, and asked, "Did you design this scene yourself, or did Master Watanabe come to give you pointers?"

"Watanabe?" Zhao Chang asked in surprise, "He can also design gardens?"

He shook his head and said, "Didn't you design such a scene in Runzhou? I learned from you."

It was only then that Du Jinning remembered that Japanese benzene gardens did not develop so early. It was not until the thirteenth century that static elements were used to create dry landscape gardens for the purpose of self-cultivation.

Zhao Chang raised his hand, motioned for the servants to bring over the boiled water, took a porcelain pot himself, opened it and handed it to Du Jinning: "Look, we developed this, I don't know if it will be successful or not."

Du Jinning looked inside, then poured out some tea leaves and put them on the palm of his hand.

I saw the shape of the tea leaves, most of which were dark brown in color, but not oily enough, and the uniformity was not good, some were long and some were short with fragments, and the color of a small part was blue or red.

This is a typical Huaqing tea.

She was about to speak, when she saw Zhao Chang has already made a pot of tea with flower green tea quickly, poured a cup for her and himself respectively, and said, "Taste the taste."

Du Jinning knew that the tea must not taste very good without tasting it.

And it was a critical moment, even if she knew that Zhao Chang would not harm her, she was cautious and did not intend to drink anything given to her.

She didn't reach for the cup of tea, but just looked at Zhao Chang.

Zhao Chang didn't persuade her, picked up his cup of tea to cool it down, and took a sip.

"Is there an obvious green smell?" Du Jinning asked with a smile.

Zhao Chang was extremely surprised: "How do you know?"

"Because after I developed scented tea, I also tried to make other teas. I have also made this kind of tea." Du Jinning said.

"Then try what you made and mine, and see what the difference is in taste. Then let's take a look at the similarities and differences between our methods, and find out the reasons." Zhao Chang said.

This request couldn't be more reasonable, but Du Jinning didn't want to touch that cup of tea.

She said: "This needs to be calm and savor slowly."

She pointed to the tea pot: "Well, you pack some for me, and I'll take it home to taste. I have something to do today, and my heart is not calm enough, so I can't taste it even if I taste it."

Zhao Chang raised his head, took a deep look at her, and when Du Jinning thought he was going to say something, he slowly said to his servants: "Take a greased paper bag and wrap some for Master Du."

As he spoke, he apologized again: "We just made one pot, and each shared a little bit. I have nothing else but what's in this pot. So I can only share a little bit with you, and I can't give you the whole pot. "

It's really not rare.

Du Jinning said in his heart.

She opened her mouth to speak when she suddenly felt dizzy.

She shook her head, thought quickly, then staggered to her feet, rushed over, grabbed the incense burner burning beside her, and threw it outside.
