Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 385 Natural Fragrant Body——
Wan Guifei Palace

Xu Qing thanked her, and a eunuch moved a small table.In fact, it's not too small, it's about the same as the one at home, but compared with Li Yuan's table, Wan Guifei's, and Er Xiao's table, it looks shabby.Li Yuan's Duba had a big table that he could lie on and roll around on. Concubine Wan Gui's was not bad either, he could barely sleep two thin ones, and the second small one was comparable to a single bed. Only Xu Qing's was of normal size.The level of class is so obvious, Xu Qing sighed slightly.

The eunuch picked up a wooden board in the middle of the pot, opened it, and found a hole hidden underneath, Xu Qing was amazed, the hole in the middle of the table happened to be under a round carving, if you don’t observe carefully, no one will see it. Know there will be a hole here.The eunuch sent another small pot with a pot of charcoal burning just to the bottom of the pot, which was obviously a hot pot.It seems that Li Yuan really loves this hot pot.

At this time, Concubine Wan Gui hadn't come out yet, and after all the eunuchs had prepared the dishes, and Li Yuan gave orders, Concubine Wan Gui came out slowly.I saw her wearing five phoenix hanging bead pants, a red gold plate with tassels and tassels, a golden gown with a hundred butterflies wearing red clouds, an emerald flower skirt, and a pink face that does not reveal spring, and she looks like a fairy concubine.Xu Qing looked at it but shook his head, no wonder he came out so late, didn't he just go get these things, and it's no wonder Li Yuan's new favorites came one by one, it's not hard to take off so many clothes?

Xu Qing slandered for a while, and everyone chatted about the daily life, and everyone seemed to have a good understanding, and did not mention government affairs.After this meal, Xu Qing was full.Afterwards, the diners were removed, and the maids brought tea and hot water to wash their mouths, and everyone washed up, and sat around in a circle.

Concubine Wan Gui went back and changed into a plain casual dress. It turned out that she was wearing a swallow suit just now, which is equivalent to an evening dress. She only wore it like this because of the presence of an outsider like Xu Qing.But after the dinner party, you can change back to casual clothes.

Sitting around the fire, everyone chatted freely like ordinary people, without the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, without the red tape outside.

"Huh? Wait..." Concubine Wan Gui suddenly said something, attracting everyone's eyes, she continued: "You guys smell, there is a special fragrance today, one of you has changed the sachet."

Concubine Wan Gui glanced at the waists of Li Yuan and Er Xiao respectively, and saw that the sachet pinned was still the same as before, and then swept to Xu Qing's waist, only to see Xu Qing had a belt, nothing else, she couldn't help but Asked: "Xu Qing, why does your fragrance smell like you?"

The second child also leaned over to Xu Qing, sniffed it and said, "Yes, it's from Brother Xu, this scent is so good."

Concubine Wan Gui covered her mouth and smiled, and asked: "Xu Qing, what kind of sachet did you buy, why is it so fragrant in your pocket?"

Xu Qing spread his hands and said, "I didn't buy any sachets, I never bring that thing..."

Concubine Wan Gui became angry, and said to Er Xiao: "Chengqian, Chengdao, you go and search to see what flowers and materials he uses."

"Here!" The second child flanked Xu Qing's arms and dug out of his sleeves for a while. Xu Qing couldn't help but Li Chengdao took out something from Xu Qing's arms and shouted: "Haha, I found it."

Then, running behind his father, Li Chengqian also left Xu Qing, standing between Xu Qing and Li Yuan, looking at Xu Qing very vigilantly.Li Chengdao unfolded it and saw that it was the Arabic numerals written by Xu Qing earlier, oh no, it was Xu's numerals.However, seeing that it wasn't a sachet, he sighed: "Oh, it's just a piece of paper, and I don't know what it's written on..."

Concubine Wan Gui and Li Chengqian both sighed when they heard the words, and hurriedly asked Xu Qing: "Quickly, take out the sachet, be honest!" But Li Yuan became interested, took the piece of paper in Li Chengdao's hand, and looked at it.

Xu Qing replied: "Young concubine, I really don't have a sachet, no matter how hard you look for it, you won't be able to find it."

Concubine Wan Gui and Er Xiao Qiqi squinted at Xu Qing, with suspicious expressions on their faces, at this moment, Xu Qing let out a sigh: "Actually..."

The three of them listened closely, wanting to know the reason why Xu Qing exudes fragrance and does not have a sachet.But Xu Qing said: "I am born with a fragrant body. When spring comes, look, the butterflies and bees are all around me."

"Tch!" The three said at the same time, "Who will believe your nonsense?"

Xu Qing had no choice but to whisper mysteriously: "Actually, I used a new kind of bath beans, which left the fragrance of flowers on my body."

"What bath beans are so effective?"

Xu Qing was about to answer, but Li Yuan squeaked. He patted his thigh and said, "Wonderful! Xu Qing, the twists and turns you made look very useful! All the official account books are left half……"

"Your Majesty? I write it casually on weekdays. I use it privately, but I can't go to the hall." Xu Qing was surprised. Li Yuan was able to know the purpose of the book on the paper by the word "number". He explained: "Today Those who were going to teach Lu An County King and Zhongshan King were called here for dinner."

Li Yuan pulled Xu Qing over, casually took out a small one from the charcoal, and asked Xu Qing: "I understand the zero to nine, come and tell me how to express the eleven."

Xu Qing took the charcoal and wrote a 11. Then, the second elementary school also came over, and Xu Qing simply wrote the four symbols of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.Concubine Wan Gui was speechless at this time. She had the most fun at first, but she suddenly became cold now, and she also came to Xu Qing to listen to Xu Qing's lecture.Xu Qing gave several examples and explained the use of the four symbols. Concubine Wan Gui was also surprised and said: "Your Majesty, this calculation method is much simpler, even the concubine can understand it."

Xu Qing smiled and said: "There are even more powerful ones, Your Majesty, please listen to the imperial concubine, this is the vertical method of addition and subtraction, this is the method of multiplication, and the method of division..."

He roughly told Li Yuan and several others about the calculation skills and rules that can be used in elementary school.It's just that Li Yuan and others are still half ignorant, but they are still very interested.

Half an hour later, Xu Qing came out of Wan Guifei's palace, holding an imperial decree in his hand, ordering all the old doctors from the Taixue Computing Department to come out, and together with Xu Qing, they published a book on the use of new numbers.In addition, there is Kaiyuan Tongbao worth 500 taels allocated by Li Yuan.The money wasn't much, but it relieved Xu Qing's embarrassment. In the past few days, he could practice martial arts with the soldiers again.

The next day, Concubine Wan Gui let the eunuchs take a car with her early, and selected a few capable guards, quietly left the palace, and went straight to Xu Qing's house outside the city.Last night, when Li Yuan and others were thinking about Xu's numbers, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep because of the fragrance on Xu Qing's body.

How can you smell your whole body without a sachet?This is a question worth pondering, because when serving the emperor, one cannot wear a single thread.
