Landlord of the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 137 Speech Quotient
Chapter 137 Speech Quotient (3)
Huang Shimei smiled like a flower, like a ten-mile spring breeze, she opened her arms and was about to hug her. Ouyang Zhendong thought that Huang Shimei was going to throw herself into her arms, and his jaw almost fell to the ground in shock.
"Cousin, you... well, although I know you shouldn't, but... Huh?"
Ouyang Zhendong only saw Huang Shimei passing by his side, pounced on Xu Qing, rubbed against Xu Qing's chin like a kitten, and called out: "Brother Xu..." At this time, Huang Shimei , the female heroism was gone, and the prestige of power was gone, Ouyang Zhendong lost his mind.
But Xu Qing has goosebumps all over her body...
"Shimei, I came to see you today for something..."
"Hmph, you, you, you won't come to see me if you have nothing to do?" Huang Shimei's small resentful expression was close to Xu Qing's mouth, which made Xu Qing freeze for a while.
"I'm busy, wait for you..." Before Xu Qing finished speaking, Huang Shimei covered Xu Qing's mouth, shook her head slightly and said, "I know..." Xu Qing understood that there were outsiders here, so it was inconvenient Talk more about your pillow.But Xu Qing was strange again, isn't that man Huang Shimei's cousin?How could Huang Shimei be so out of touch? Could it be that she is another Liu Wanjin type character?
Ouyang Zhendong has come to his senses at this time, he frowned and said: "What are you doing, what are you doing, what are you doing? Shimei, I didn't mean you..."
"I don't want you to care about it." Huang Shimei turned her head and said coldly to Ouyang Zhendong, the original aura of the mistress of the Huang family appeared again.
"Uh..." Both Xu Qing and Ouyang Zhendong were speechless.Xu Qing once heard a story. The story said that when Liu Bang married Lu Zhi in his bridal chamber, he said something like this to Lu Zhi:
"Pheaser, in the future, when you encounter difficulties, you can cry, but you can only cry in front of me, not in front of others; when you encounter troubles, you can also be angry, but you can only cry in front of others, not in front of others. Get angry in front of me."
Only now did Xu Qing understand what it was like.
Some people are happy and some are sad, the double standard of ice and fire, what Ouyang Zhendong can feel is the weight of ice.Seeing that Huang Shimei couldn't be provoked, he naturally wanted to threaten Xu Qing. He said: "Boy, you are so disrespectful. If Huang's elders find out, this kind of anger is not something you can bear!" Ouyang Zhendong Having been in Cangzhou for more than ten days, I naturally know that the Huang family is now in full swing in Cangzhou, unmatched by anyone.
Huang Shimei looked at Xu Qing's black hair, and was about to refute Ouyang Zhendong, but Xu Qing laughed and said, "Hahaha, there are people in Cangzhou who I, Governor Xu, can't mess with?" Huang Shimei had nothing to do with him before, he And help her humiliate Liu Wanjin, now that Huang Shimei has almost recovered, why don't you take the initiative to protect her?Huang Shimei smiled in satisfaction, sniffed lightly, and led Xu Qing into her small courtyard, leaving Ouyang Zhendong stunned.
"Inspector Xu, that is an all-powerful character!"
Entering the inner courtyard, Huang Shimei's courtyard is simple and simple, without any special boudoir atmosphere.This is very consistent with the ethos of worshiping Taoism in the early Tang Dynasty. Of course, there are many kinds of people who worship Taoism. different, or even completely opposite.
Huang Shimei put down the book in her hand, deliberately covered the cover, and ran into the room to entertain Xu Qing.Xu Qing walked over on his own, picked up the book and read it—"Xu Zi".Randomly turned a page, shit, isn't this Li Weng Duiyun?No, isn't this the rhyme scripture written by the young master...
"Oh, brother Xu, mess with other people's things!" Huang Shimei put down a set of utensils, and quickly snatched the "Xu Zi" from Xu Qing's hand.
"Hmph, Xu Cishi has a lot of research on poetry, doesn't he?" Ouyang Zhendong walked in with a sullen expression on his face.
"Uh, dare not dare..." Xu Qing shook his head hurriedly. He is Wen Chaogong, so how can he really study poetry?
"Don't be modest, Governor Xu, let's see how this "Xu Zi" is written? You and Master Xu are from the same family, and you are in the same grade as him..." Ouyang Zhendong didn't connect Governor Xu with Xu Zi, but rather I want to satirize Xu Qing with Xu Zi's youth and promise.
"This book, hehe...it's so-so, but that's it..." Xu Qing smiled and returned, isn't it all about humility making people progress?
"You, what are you talking about?" Ouyang Zhendong was frightened and angry, held back for a long time, and asked with a dark smile: "What's the origin of Governor Xu?"
"One mansion soldier..."
"Haha, that's true, Shimei, it turns out that Governor Xu is a soldier of the government, so I even discussed poetry with him!" Ouyang Zhendong turned his head to look at Huang Shimei, but found Huang Shimei's contemptuous eyes.Uh, shouldn't you be laughing with me, the worst is not happy, why...
"This "Xu Zi" is Brother Xu's anthology. Brother Xu is being modest!" Huang Shimei looked at Xu Qing with a proud smile.
"No, no, impossible, how is it possible! Xu Zi, Xu Qing? No, Xu Zi's name is only three words!"
"But Xu Chuliu? My young man is cheap, and his name is very vulgar. I don't want you to know it..." Xu Qingwen's appearance made Huang Shimei smile.
"No, no, no, I don't believe it. How could you, a government soldier, write this article!" Ouyang Zhendong lost his mind, babbled nonsense, and stumbled out lonely.
"Shimei, is he your cousin?" Xu Qing looked at Ouyang Zhendong's back, and seemed to feel a little familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't find that person in his mind.
"Not really. I've seen it a few times. I just came from Chang'an a few days ago. I didn't have any money to live in Huang's house." Huang Shimei spread out the utensils on the table, and it turned out to be a tea set.
"Chang'an?" Xu Qing nodded, and then asked nastyly, "Shimei, what do you think of your cousin?"
"Neither male nor female, it's disgusting..." Huang Shimei smiled indifferently, playing with the tea set in her hand quickly.
Xu Qing knew it in his heart, this is it, Hebei is the land of Yanzhao, most women like bold men, Ouyang Zhendong looks like a young boy, he is not popular here.This is a pity, if it is put in later generations, maybe it is also a man like a god.Xu Qing touched his face, after these days, he finally figured out the level of his appearance, to put it more nicely - Pingzheng.To put it bluntly, it is... still a person.Not handsome, not ugly, not feminine, not heroic, with good facial features, honesty with a touch of wretchedness, and ordinary with a lot of filth.
Tea in the Tang Dynasty was mostly made into tea cakes, which were ground before drinking and then cooked. The "Tea Classic" says that sencha is to boil water in a teapot. After the water is boiled, measure out the tea powder and throw it from the center, then stir it with bamboo until the surface is full of foam, and then add green onion, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper according to taste. Condiments, even beans and rice, are then poured into bowls for drinking.
The so-called tea soup is drunk in this way. Even in later generations, there are still many places that like to put "salt ginger" when drinking tea, especially beneficial Yanglei tea and bean tea.
Xu Qing also drank it here in the Tang Dynasty. He didn't know the taste of the later generations, but the tea soup here, the taste is really not flattering.
Xu Qing saw that Huang Shimei made the teapot, saucer, tea bowl, tea bottle, tea mill, tea Luo and other tea sets look like flowing water.The tea was boiled, and the three square inches of charcoal had just been burned...
"Brother Xu, great talent, try the tea I made..." Huang Shimei took a bowl with satisfaction, raised the tea bowl to her forehead, and brought it to Xu Qing respectfully.It's just that she was not yet familiar with the operation, so she almost pushed the bowl directly onto Xu Qing.
"Hmm... not bad." Xu Qing showed enjoyment on his face, but in fact, the dumb man ate Coptis chinensis. He couldn't tell the bitterness, sour, bitter, astringent and salty all gathered together, and a strange smell rushed into his nostrils, just like the first time he ate it. Same as mustard.
After hearing Xu Qing's words, Huang Shimei's eyes flashed with confidence: "Really, let's have another bowl..."
"Leave it alone and drink later." Xu Qing quickly shook his head: "I want to tell you something serious..."
"I know, isn't it just for the Huang family to join hands with merchants around Cangzhou to build a chamber of commerce?"
"You know?" Xu Qing really wanted the Huang family to lead a chamber of commerce, so as to know the market conditions, so as to prevent merchants from changing prices arbitrarily to evade taxes.
"Didn't expect that?" Huang Shimei smiled slyly.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect, Shimei, you are so smart!" Xu Qing really wanted to praise Huang Shimei from the bottom of his heart.
"Oh, great talent, how is it compared to Xue'er in your family?" Huang Shimei dragged her chin and blinked.
"Here, she is pregnant with a child. You can't compare to this for the time being..." Xu Qing knew that Huang Shimei had always wanted to "become a regular". material.If the main wife has a son, then nothing can be done.
"What? I'm pregnant! Hmph..." Huang Shimei really pouted, feeling unhappy.
"Well, don't be angry, I will make you pregnant in a few days, no, you can't conceive together, otherwise who will serve me?"
"Who cares about you..."
"Hahaha, can I take care of you?" Xu Qing said, picking up the tea set, wanting to drink a cup of tea.
Unexpectedly, Huang Shimei was unwilling, so she stopped Xu Qing and said, "No, let others know about it, then it's fine..."
"It's nothing, I cook three meals a day at home..."
Huang Shimei's eyes widened when she heard this, as if she saw a stone lion flying in the sky.
Boiling water, making tea, drinking tea, I heard that the tea ceremony has been studied to the extreme, and these three most authentic things are left.
After the tea was brewed, Xu Qing saw the familiar blue tea soup, poured a cup for Huang Shimei, poured a cup for himself, took a gulp, smacked his lips, it was not bad.Although it does not have the fragrance of the fried tea of later generations, it is still a bit mellow.
"This... maybe this means that when you see a mountain, it becomes a mountain, and when you see water, it becomes water again?" Huang Shimei asked, remembering the three lines written by Xu Qing,
"No, this is to make tea, and then drink tea..."
When talking to smart people, you only need to say half of what you say, and when you do things with smart people, you only need to do one-third of what you do.Xu Qing wanted to establish a chamber of commerce, so he only mentioned to Huang Shimei some simple policies such as halving the tax for joining the chamber of commerce, escorting state soldiers, etc. Huang Shimei immediately understood and went to work.
No wonder officials must choose a good secretary!Still beautiful...
