Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Du Ruyan had no intention of resisting and leaned on his shoulder. The two of them looked up at the quiet and vast night sky together!

The years are peaceful and the world is stable!
If so!

"What a nice view."

The stars were shining brightly, and she gradually became fascinated by them. Her watery autumn eyes seemed to be dotted with stars.

"yes….."

Li Kuan also murmured and sighed.

"Sometimes I really want to go up there and see what's there. Your Highness, do you think my idea is naive?"

As she spoke, Du Ruyan couldn't help but chuckle, at her extremely childish idea.

How can people fly to the sky?
Although some ancient books record that some kites can carry people to fly

But those are just legends. Who has seen it with their own eyes?
"No. Actually, there's nothing in the sky. It's just a little colder, and we can see the beautiful mountains and rivers better..."

he smiled.

Du Ruyan is like a little woman now, which can be considered a good thing.

In fact, no matter how strong a woman is, there is always a soft spot in her heart. All she needs is to tear off that layer of disguise.

"Your Highness, you sound as if you have seen it before." Du Ruyan couldn't help but tease.

"Hahaha~"

Li Kuan didn't want to continue dwelling on this topic, he just secretly made a note of the matter in his heart.

Isn’t it just God?

Will it be difficult?

Then he changed the subject: "Xiao Yanyan, is she still quarreling with you?

"Humph!"

Speaking of this, Du Ruyan was furious and said, "Isn't it? You have spoiled this girl! How dare you ignore me? You have grown wings!"

"Who told you..."

The two of them were chatting idly, and the little girl was lying in her room, snoring softly and falling into a deep sleep.

There was a serene smile on her lips, and she was obviously dreaming!
It’s March with green grass and singing birds!
A gust of spring wind blew, awakening the sleeping earth overnight and melting the snow...
The sun is warm, the flowers are colorful, and everywhere is full of vitality!
It has only been a month or two since the New Year, but Chang'an is still becoming more and more festive. Walking on the streets, you can feel the lively atmosphere everywhere.

The tenth day of April!

Everyone will remember this great day!

The Du Mansion was decorated with lights and lanterns, and everyone had a smile on their face.

Guo Shoujing and his men also gave Li Kuan a large mansion, which was named "Li Mansion". They dispatched all the maids and servants in it, and there were about 20 to 30 people.

The Ministry of Revenue also has to allocate monthly allowances to these people!
After all, Li Kuan had no intention of moving there, and was too lazy to take care of it, so the court had to manage it on his behalf. In fact, it was nothing more than spending a little more money every month.
It doesn't matter!
The Li family has also been busy these days!

The bride must be welcomed at Han's house, and then taken to the residence of the Great General Protecting the Nation, where they will be married, have a banquet, stay overnight, etc...

Anyway, this is the main house!
As for whether Li Kuan wants to live in the Du family, the palace, or the Li Mansion after the marriage is completed, that is his business, and others have no right to ask...
After a busy day, the wedding date is approaching, and in the blink of an eye it is already April 7th!
Xin Qiji, Li Xiaogong, Yue Fei and others also received the last wave of envoys from the Western Regions countries, who were rushing back and were expected to arrive in the next two days.

Li Kuan has been back for a few days and has not been idle. He has been making arrangements, so he has enough time.

In fact, he doesn't need to do anything. He just needs to give orders and someone will naturally complete it.

That day he was pulled by the little girl to fix the broken swing!

After checking, Li Kuan also looked depressed.

This is not just a little broken, it is completely in pieces, it is completely damaged, I don’t know what happened to it before...

"Brother-in-law, how are you? How about making a new one?"

The little girl stuck out her cute little tongue, feeling a little embarrassed.

"This is the only way." He said helplessly.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

After working for nearly half an hour, they finally finished tinkering with the thing. Little Yanyan happily sat on it and started playing:
"Oh hoo! Brother-in-law, come and play!"

Li Kuan just watched quietly. After a while, Du Ruhui, Mrs. Du and their group came to the yard.

"Xiao Yanyan!"

Princess Changle was also there, and she shouted excitedly.

"Sister Changle!"

The little girl was also very happy. She jumped off the swing, ran over and pulled little Changle to play together.

Ever since these two little girls hung out together once, they became addicted and became a pair of close playmates!
Occasionally, Changle would run out of the palace, or bring Xiao Yanyan into the palace...

Xiao Yanyan and Xiao Changle, these two little girls can play together. Since Li Kuan ascended the throne and moved into the palace, he has been living in a prison, and each of them has become a canary.

Every move is watched by the censors, and any violation will be an impeachment warning!
But these days, Li Kuan believes that he has finally walked out of that cage.

But, it's just him.

As a result, many people in the palace grew up in a tense atmosphere. Now that my mother, Concubine Qin, is in charge of the harem, it is considered better.…

The entire palace seemed harmonious on the surface, and there weren't that many bad things going on!
And if something unexpected happened to Concubine Qin, it was obvious that with the ability of those "bone-changing dragons" to commit suicide, it would be difficult to calm down.

Princess Changle suffered from an inherited respiratory disease since she was born, which caused her to be weak and sickly since childhood.

But this girl was extremely sensible and well-educated, which naturally made her loved by Emperor Li II and Empress Changsun, who wished they could make her happy.

pity!

After coming to Dayan, she felt bored in the palace and was unhappy all day long. Fortunately, Li Xueyan came and things got better, but she was still unhappy sometimes, which made Li Kuan even more worried.

More than a month ago, by chance, Li Kuan took her to the Du family and became good friends with Xiao Yanyan.

That time...

It was the first time for her to see her elder sister, and she could be so happy!
Since then, Li Kuan has of course resisted the pressure from the ministers and let the two little kids get together. What royal majesty, what dignity of a princess...

It's all fucking bullshit!

Is it important to have little Changle happy?
In the yard, the two of them sat together, swinging on the swing and eating, and soon bursts of silvery laughter were heard.

"Hee hee hee"

The childish and innocent smiles on their faces also infected everyone in the venue!

"Kuan'er! Don't stay at home all the time. Come to the palace more often when you have time."

"By the way, bring the little girl with you, so Changle won't be worried about her all the time."

Du Ruhui spoke.

He came to Dayan, and as the situation became clearer and clearer, he gradually went to Dayan to help handle government affairs. So he was very busy most of the time and couldn't go out often. Most of the time, little Yanyan played alone.

He felt really bad watching this!
"No, it's too big and I'll get lost."

Li Kuan’s words are concise and to the point.

There are many fuel-efficient lamps in the palace.

It's still comfortable to stay here.

"You! Hey, Kuan'er..."

Du Ruhui's tone stagnated, but he had no better reason to refute. He glanced at him and said unhappily:
"Others are eager to enter the palace and have a look around more often, but now that you've become the emperor, you're starting to despise it?"

Mrs. Du, Du Ruyan and others beside them were also smiling!

Of course, several people could hear the sarcasm in his words!
But it’s true, Li Kuan is a troublemaker. No matter where he goes, there will always be trouble!

"Hahaha!"

Li Qiu just smiled and didn't say much.

He knew Du Ruhui's way of educating his children: daughters were usually spoiled, but sons were more miserable.
He has a stern face all day long, looking like a strict father!

Especially Du He, as the son of a duke, was surrounded by a bunch of old antiques. If he relaxed for a moment, his palms would be severely beaten.

The way they lived was so heartbreaking that anyone who heard about it would cry.

"Okay! Kuan'er, I came to see you because I have something important to do! Let's go to the lobby."

Without waiting for Li Kuan to say anything, Du Ruhui walked straight towards the front yard.

A group of people hurried to catch up, and there were only about twenty maids and guards left to look after the two little ancestors.
"Sister Changle, let me give you a try of this! It's delicious!" Little Yanyan stuffed a piece of candy into Changle's mouth.

"Ok!"

Little Changle's eyes lit up immediately, "Delicious! Xiao Yanyan, I also brought some delicious food! Sister Honger, come here quickly..."

……

The group of old men in the mansion went out early in the morning, probably to gather information. The old man and Mr. Tang were not there.

Du Ruhui, Li Kuan, Du Ruyan, and Madam Du were sitting in the lobby. There were also Eunuch Cao and several guards in the room, and some maids waiting.

"Kuan'er, actually... I'm a little thirsty."

Du Ruhui suddenly hinted, then smiled and said, "Madam, tell me! Is this his fault?"

As they got along better in Dayan, Du Ruhui began to treat Li Kuan more and more like his own son, so he spoke to him without so many formalities.

But Li Kuan had been on the battlefield all his life, he came from a family of generals, and he had stayed at the border for such a long time, so of course there was not much to say.

If He Shen was in the house, it would be fine. At least he would have someone make some tea and bring some cakes. As for Li Kuan...

I'm hoping these uninvited guests will leave as soon as possible!
Still want tea?

what are you thinking about!

Li Kuan's mouth twitched, and Du Ruyan's pretty face turned red. She was about to stand up, but Madam Du smiled and said:
"Grandpa, don't you just want me to show off my skills? There's no outsider here, just say it directly! Why are you beating around the bush like this?"

With just a few words, the relationship between everyone in the room was brought closer!
"Haha! I haven't tasted Madam's cooking for a long time. Is there no other way?" Du Ruhui said with a smile.

Mrs. Du didn't say much, just rolled her eyes at him. Han Ruxue also gave a few instructions to the maid, and soon a set of tea set was served.

Mrs. Du stood up and walked straight over, and Du Ruyan also lent a hand.

Wash tea sets and cups, boil water..
Every move shows the demeanor of a great man and is quite pleasing to the eye!

Du Ruhui looked very proud:
"The art of tea contains all the flavors of life, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty. Kuan'er, you are in for a treat today!"

Making tea is a science!

The ancients have always highly respected the tea ceremony, emphasizing the unity of man and nature, and being able to understand the philosophy of life from the tea soup.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, tea has been recorded as a medicine in ancient books, and its price was extremely high. It was not until the Western Han Dynasty that the situation improved.

However, only in Shu is there a culture of everyone drinking tea!
People from other places also look at people from Sichuan in this way: what are those idiots drinking medicine all day long for no reason?
Arrived at the Tang Dynasty
The tea ceremony has become extremely popular, and almost all wealthy families like to have a few sips of tea when they have nothing to do.

Li Kuan has never been interested in this stuff!
Very simple!
That can't be called tea at all, it's called tea soup, it's basically a dark dish!
In addition to the aroma of tea, there may also be...
The spicy flavor of onion, ginger and pepper; the sweet fragrance of jujube and osmanthus; the cool flavor of orange peel and mint; the milky aroma of butter cheese; the oily smell of beef, mutton and pork.
All kinds of things, everything available!
There is nothing a tea maker can’t make, unless you can think of it!
As for how complex the taste is, it is hard to describe in a few words. It is beyond the scope of description in words!

That's why Li Kuan didn't bother to pay attention to his father-in-law Du Ruhui's boasting. He thought that there was no way he would drink it no matter what, not in his entire life!
Du Ruhui was still feeling proud and watching Mrs. Du's performance with great interest!

Even making tea is not that simple. There is a very strict process. Some tea masters, when they come across those tea sets...
Every move is destined to be extremely pleasing to the eye!
Although he had no feelings about the tea, Li Kuan still looked at it with interest. Suddenly, something came to his mind.

Tea Saint Lu Yu!

It is rumored that the one who lived during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty was not fond of dark tea and believed that tea was better with just salt.

There must be a reason for him to be the Tea Saint!

This shows what?
It’s not that there’s something wrong with people’s taste buds these days, but that they haven’t seen better!
炒茶
Who knows, it might really become popular!
Li Kuan was a little worried before, whether tea could be sold as a luxury product to countries like India and the Arab world.

After all, there has to be a demand relationship to establish a market effect. What if people simply look down on you and you still want to extort their money?

Ha ha!

In fact, this is completely unnecessary, because tea has been tested by history for a long time, and it is not difficult to export it! (End of this chapter)
