The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Then, call Dai Zhou." Changsun Wuji said.

Dai Zhou was also summoned into the side hall, and Changsun Wuji repeated Li Shimin's meaning to Dai Zhou.

"Then where should we start?" Dai Zhou asked.

"Your Majesty means that I will be responsible for drafting new laws, and we should make them more lenient and simplify them. According to your opinion, how should we start?" Changsun Wuji asked.

"It is not difficult to sentence according to the law, but there are often repetitions in the details. If we can simplify and summarize the repetitions, it will not be too complicated." Dai Zhou responded.

"Remember, the law is the clothes for the people to wear. It is not good to be too tight or too loose. Therefore, I let you discuss the revision. Leniency means that it is easy for the people to understand and the officials to implement. Tightness means that once it is decided, it should not be easily changed." Li Shimin urged.

"Yes..."

The court officials nodded in response.

On the way back from the New Year's Day celebration, there were still not many people walking around in Chang'an.

After such a long time, people were tired.

On the way back in the carriage, Li Fu kept dozing off.

After arriving at the Jingyang Wang residence, Li Fu went straight back to his own yard.

The quilts on the kang in the room had been laid out, and the kang was heated, so the quilts were warm.

Xiao Tao knew that Li Fu was back and immediately came to this yard to serve Li Fu.

As soon as he entered the door, he took off his heavy cloak and threw it on the shelf. Then, under Xiao Tao's service, he changed out of his official uniform, put on only his inner clothes, and got into bed on the kang.

Finally, he could catch up on his sleep peacefully.

"Even if the sky falls outside, let it fall first. I need to catch up on my sleep. If I can't get up at night, I don't need to have dinner yet. Just ask the kitchen to keep the dinner warm in the stove. Eat when you are hungry." Li Fu told Xiao Tao.

"Yes, my dear, don't worry. I'll tell everyone that no one will disturb you from catching up on your sleep." Xiao Tao smiled.

Li Fu is young now. Even if he didn't sleep the night before, he would be full of energy the next day, but he couldn't resist the hypnosis of the long speeches of the people at the court meeting.

It's like having to go to Chinese class early the next morning after staying up all night in school.

That pure sleep aid...

On the second day of the first lunar month, it is time for each family to visit each other. The New Year's gifts have been sent before the 30th. After the New Year's Day, it is nothing more than taking turns to host and invite guests to dinner.

The business of major restaurants in the East City has also become hot.

Cheng Yaojin's family invited some old friends from the Qin Palace.

Several people sat in the front hall of Cheng Yaojin's house, looking at the decorations in the front hall.

"The popular home decorations in Chang'an City now, I didn't expect that Zhijie's house had already been replaced. It looks really good."

"Yes, yes, before the New Year, my wife also discussed with me about changing furniture. I asked her to do it. Until now, the workshop is still waiting for it, but I don't know when I have to wait."

"It's the same in my family. I have to say that the business of this home furnishing workshop is too good. I can't wait for it."

Everyone present was talking about it.

Cheng Yaojin was happy to hear it.

Right, right, you don't have it, but my old Cheng family has already used new ones.

Cheng Yaojin was good at face, and this time he really earned enough face.

"Come on, serve tea."

Cheng Yaojin sat at the top, recalling the smooth and elegant movements when Li Fu ordered the servants.

Sure enough, once these words were spoken, the style was much higher.

The maids in Cheng Yaojin's house carried trays with three-color covered bowls on them. Several maids came to the crowd and placed the tea bowls on the table beside them. Then they put away the trays, bowed, and left the hall one by one.

"Everyone, please have tea." Cheng Yaojin also looked very elegant and easy-going.

This image of Cheng Yaojin was very different from the impression they had of Cheng Yaojin in the past. It was completely different.

This Cheng Da Laocu, has he changed his character today?

Can't he study hard and stop being a military general? He wants to be a civil official, right?

Is this possible?

Cheng Yaojin held the tea bowl in a proper manner, skimmed off the foam, and took a sip.

The tea leaves Li Fu gave him were only about two taels, not much, and Cheng Yaojin had kept them all the time, waiting to show off in front of these people during the New Year.

And his relatives, especially his wife's family.

Now it is different from the past. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he, a former subordinate of the Qin Palace, also rose with the tide.

Others in the hall also imitated Cheng Yaojin's "elegant" appearance, picked up the tea bowl, and began to taste tea.Tea leaves, what else can it do? Can you taste more delicious tea? It's not like they haven't drunk tea before, what's there to brag about?

But the moment they opened the lid of the bowl, they were confused.

Is this tea?

No, it's different from the tea they drank before.

Cheng Yaojin, who was sitting at the top, was also secretly looking at the expressions of these people.

Hahaha, stunned, right? Uninformed, right?

This is the latest tea, not like tea, which is hard to swallow.

You don't have such good things at home.

In the whole Chang'an City, if you want to say who has more new things at home, the first one is the Prince of Jingyang, and the second one is the Da'an Palace of the Emperor. Cheng Yaojin dare not argue about this, but the third one, hehe...

"Everyone, why don't you drink it?" Cheng Yaojin asked with a smile: "But I have somewhere, I'm not entertaining you well?"

When Cheng Yaojin said this, everyone hurriedly shook their heads.

"No, no, it's not General Cheng's fault, but this is the first time I've seen such clear tea soup."

"Yes, yes."

"Hahaha." Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "Everyone, don't think too much, this is the latest tea, not like the boiled tea soup, you will know after tasting it, this is good tea."

Hearing Cheng Yaojin say this, they also followed Cheng Yaojin's example and tasted tea.

After taking a sip, everyone's eyes lit up.

It's really different.

The seven necessities of life are firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

Nowadays, most people only have the first six, and tea is something that rich people with good conditions enjoy, especially boiled tea.

But the bowl of tea in front of me tastes completely different from boiled tea.

It's sweet aftertaste, and the fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth.

Literati and scholars also have seven things, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea.

But they never thought that in terms of drinking tea, they are not as good as Cheng Yaojin.

"General Cheng, where did you buy this tea? I've never heard of a shop in Chang'an that sells such good tea."

"This tea can't be bought outside now. It's very precious." Cheng Yaojin responded with a smile on his face.
