Sheng Shi Merciful Light

Mu Ci took the residence newspaper from Mu Ruosong, said "sorry", put all the paper aside, and opened the residence newspaper to read.

If the other sons were so "not motivated" and refrained from making progress, the Emperor Tianshou would have spanked his butt long ago, but facing his family's Xiao Jiulang, he had no position, no temper, and there was really no way to deal with him confidently.

Su Yan was not used to holding a quill pen. Mu Ruosong saw that His Royal Highness had entered the mode of reading newspapers and could not disturb him, so he consciously began to guide his calligraphy teacher to hold a pen and write... and brainwashed himself by Mu Ci Some of the things said.

"Teacher, quill pens are easy to obtain, easy to make, easy to carry, less waste ink, and small characters save paper, which reduces the cost of reading and learning for children from poor families. Don't you want to benefit more children from poor families to study?"

Daxing's literacy rate has reached 60%, but it obviously cannot satisfy many literati, and besides being an upright liberal arts master, Su Yan hopes that Daxing's literacy rate will reach 100%. The only son's saving a wife is a later matter.

As a calligrapher, Su Yan is so poor, and he is so rich in spirit and prestige.

Mu Ruosong is the one who understands and respects this teacher the most, and that's why he said the above words.

Su Yan wrote a few strokes and fell into deep thought—this feather pen has many advantages, if it can be popularized, more children can learn to read and practice calligraphy.But he worries that if people become more accustomed to writing with a quick and easy-to-control quill, calligraphy will slowly lose its heritage.

He felt the need to think about it.

It has to be said that Su Yan is very professional in calligraphy and has advanced consciousness, he has the truth.After the development of Huaguo, water-based hard pens became popular, and calligraphy declined. Most people wrote like dogs. It is true that one generation is not as good as the next generation. Later, calligraphy became a way of corruption in the officialdom. When he was in power, there were thousands of paintings. , Can't sell a picture for a few dollars... that's the real insult to calligraphy.

Emperor Tianshou watched from the sidelines, proud and sad.

(ㄒoㄒ)/~~ It can be said that the servant was "young and ignorant" when he was abducted. Now even the teacher has been abducted.He is also very proud that his own son can turn Su Yan, who is like a stinky rock, into a pit, and follow his way of thinking.

Just at this time, He Shun brought up a saucer, quietly put a pot of tea by Mu Ci's hand, and poured a cup of tea.

Several people smelled a sweet tea fragrance.

Mu Ci served tea, took a sip, nodded slightly, and commented: "It's eight points, tell Ah Shan to taste more and find out and improve by himself."

He Shun nodded and went down to pass on the message.

Mu Ci likes to drink tea, not only knows how to taste it, but also communicated with friends who are immersed in this way about the method of frying.He really couldn't stand Daxing's tea porridge, the taste was too weird to eat.I had no choice but to tell Qin Shan some frying methods and precautions, and asked Qin Shan to try frying with fresh tea leaves.

It was rare for Emperor Tianshou to see his son drinking anything other than water, so he leaned over and asked, "Jiulang, what are you drinking?"

"Clear tea." Mu Ci said, not intentionally greedy for the emperor, and asked, "Would you like a drink?"

This must be done, the Emperor Tianshou immediately nodded.

Mu Ci looked at Su Yan and looked at him, and asked: "How about a drink, sir?" Without waiting for an answer, he ordered, "Ziren, bring a set of tea sets and a pot of boiling water."

Mu Ruosong quickly took the boiled water and the roasted tea leaves, and presented them on a big bamboo tray.The Emperor Tianshou saw that the Hall of Hehuan was really deserted, and even the tea set had to be handled by the attendant himself, so he frowned subconsciously.

Wei Zhong quickly captured this moment and planned to step forward to show it.

Seeing that Mu Ci personally took the tea set and started to make tea, Emperor Tian Shu's eyebrows stretched, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and Wei Zhong quickly retracted his hand.

Daxing is popular in tea ceremony performances. Mu Ci’s tea making is a bit like a tea ceremony, but he does it differently. The movements are not so complicated, but it is leisurely and pleasing to the eye.

When he scalded the cup with boiling water, Emperor Tianshou couldn't help exhorting, "Be careful of scalding!" Mu Ci glanced at him, and replied "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion." She was not as cold as usual.

Soon, Mu Ci lifted the pot high, and poured the tea into the cup in a thin line without splashing much.The light-colored tea soup is contained in the Nanyao celadon teacup, which is slightly white with a little emerald green, so beautiful and clear no matter how you look at it.

The fragrance is also fresh.

Mu Ci offered a cup to the emperor: "Please use it!"

Emperor Tianshou hurriedly said the second sentence, "Be careful of being hot!" He quickly reached out to pick up the teacup, but unexpectedly it was not hot, and then he realized that Jiulang finally raised the teapot to pour tea, and the thin water line had already made the tea not hot.

The second cup was brought to Su Yan, and Mu Ci gave it to herself, and poured a cup for Mu Ruosong by the way.

After Tianshoudi tasted a cup, he asked his son to pour it for him. Mu Ci said softly, "It's still a little hot, don't drink it too fast." He poured another cup for Tianshoudi.

Emperor Tianshou was overwhelmed by flattery, and was a little confused about the key point of his son's random switching between indifference and gentleness. After careful observation, he found that Mu Ci's eyebrows stretched when he sniffed the tea lightly and sipped it slightly...

Emperor Tianshou finally discovered that his son, who was not moved by the world of mortals, actually had something he liked-green tea.

This is a good thing, the son gradually opened the clam shell in front of him, revealing a gap, allowing him to see a bit of reddish soft flesh.

Su Yan also thinks that Changle King is a little bit better, at least he knows how to respect his father and teacher, and drink tea happily.He didn't admit at all that he was overwhelmed by Changle King's appearance - just looking at his beautiful appearance and movements is a visual feast.

Tea is also good, there are a few tea needles with one leaf and one bud floating and sinking in the Weibi tea, the soup is clear and fragrant, slightly bitter in the throat, but gradually a sweetness gushes out from the throat.

Not bad.

Mu Ci said: "I'm not used to drinking strong tea, I just like this simple clear tea, I don't know if it suits your taste."

Emperor Tianshou immediately said: "It's delicious, light and fragrant, with a sweet aftertaste."

Su Yan, as a master of arts and sciences, although his family is poor and cannot afford good tea, knowing the tea ceremony is an essential skill for literati, and if he understands it, he will double his favor for Mu Ci.

Su Yan asked: "What kind of tea is this?"

"I don't have a name yet. I asked someone to pick the autumn tea from Lishan Mountain. The imperial chef Ashan roasted it. Today is the first time that I have produced tea that can be eaten. Mr. is the first person to taste tea. Why don't you choose a name?"

Su Yan waved his hand: "Don't dare to be the name, it's better to be named by His Highness."

"I'm not that elegant, and I really can't come up with a good name. Don't be modest, sir. Tea is good, and it's better to have a good name that complements each other." Mu Ci said.

Emperor Tianshou knew that Jiulang was not a person who liked to talk about scenes, and he also agreed with Su Yan's naming. The most famous literati in the literati named the new tea made by his family Jiulang. This is a good story-it can gain reputation!

Su Yan didn't think much about it. Literati are a bit arty. After thinking for a while, he picked up his pen and wrote the word "Qing Hao".

Mu Ci took the characters, and asked Su Yan to cover his own name seal, and then greeted Mu Ruosong: "Tell me two craftsmen to carve out engraving blocks according to these two characters and stamps, and print them on paper. In the future, the tea leaves made in this way will They're all wrapped in paper like this."

It is one thing to push or not to promote, but there must be brand awareness.

Mu Ruosong left and came back soon, bringing two packs of tea leaves with great insight.

Mu Ci took it and gave each person a bag.

Emperor Tianshou had a bumper harvest today, and it was the first time he drank the tea brewed by Xiao Jiulang himself, and Jiu Lang respected the tea leaves.Although it was just incidental, he was still very happy. After drinking the tea, he held a bag of 'Qinghao' in his hand like a treasure and refused to put it away.

Su Yan couldn't wait to open the tea bag and grabbed a handful of tea leaves, which turned out to be loose tea.

The most popular thing in Daxing Dynasty is to drink pressed tea cakes similar to Pu'er tea, add pepper, pepper, star anise and other spices to the water to cook a pot of porridge, called tea porridge.Loose tea is leftovers bought by people who can't afford tea.

But the loose tea in the hands is different from the loose tea in the common people's home. Each one only picks one bud and one leaf, which is uniform in thickness, dry but tough, and exudes a light and refreshing tea fragrance.

Su Yan lamented what a special tea! The name "Qinghao" is really good, but it's hard to ask how to fry it.

In Daxing, the method of making tea and making spices are all secret recipes handed down by a family. They belong to the accumulation of the real family of Shixun Shilu for hundreds of years, and they are not passed on to the outside world.Anyone who is sensible will not ask this secret recipe.

But there is one thing that I am very puzzled - how can a Prince of Changle, a prince in the cold palace, fry this kind of green tea?His mother family, the Xie family, has never heard of this kind of tea, either?

Is that popular in the palace?

Su Yan couldn't even ask about the secrets in the palace.

Mu Cidong looked at the fire and said, "I don't care if the method of frying tea is learned, and the process of frying tea will be sent to your house in a while."

Su Yan immediately refused. It is a great favor to take someone's secret recipe, and it is not easy to repay it.

Mu Ci said indifferently: "I got your inscription 'Qinghao', and I exchanged it with a frying method. Neither of them can be measured by money. Let's count them as equivalent. You don't take advantage of me."

Su Yan couldn't refute, and immediately understood why everyone liked this young man - when dealing with him, he would never have to worry about being at a disadvantage, who wouldn't like such a person?

Mu Ci said again: "Drinking too much spices for making tea is not good for your health, so I suggest you also drink clear tea."

Emperor Tianshou nodded immediately: "Okay, Jiulang, I will also give my father a copy of the method, and my father will ask you to make more types of green tea for you."

Mu Ci didn't like the fact that "a concubine laughing in the world of mortals" happened to her, so she immediately recovered her indifferent look, and said, "Please don't bother everyone for my personal hobbies."

Emperor Tianshou didn't like his son, so he also considered the influence.

Knowing that the Emperor Tianshou also had good intentions, Mu Ci said, "Why don't you disclose the method of frying 'Qing Hao'? As an introduction, you can encourage more people to try making clear tea. If you have good tea, you can buy some to taste, and give 'Gong Cha' 'What about the title...? I think this is a beneficial thing for the individual, the family, and even the entire country."

Tea is one of Daxing's pillar industries. Mu Ci never planned to swallow the entire tea industry. He hoped to guide the ancients to develop Biluochun, Yuqian tea, and Qingming tea. Natural, organic and pollution-free tea must be It will surprise him.

And this can definitely be developed, because no one can underestimate the wisdom of the Chinese people.

Su Yan absolutely agreed, and even the Emperor Tianshou listened solemnly.

To be honest, they didn't think of national interests for a small cup of tea or a pack of tea leaves, but Wang Pianchang could always think of it.If the method is really made public, and everyone develops more types of tea, then the tea trade will be more prosperous, which will even involve the foreign trade interests of overseas neighboring countries.

Taxes in the treasury will also increase, and everything is a circle of conscience.

Emperor Tianshou looked deeply at his own Jiulang.

Maybe Su Yan didn't understand, but Emperor Tianshou did—his family, Jiulang, had always stood in the position of a leader, no matter how small it was, he could always think of national interests.

What a son!

Su Yan didn't think too much about it, he just loved and admired this young man, and wanted to be his teacher... He didn't mean to place a bet, it was just a pure liking.

He made the last effort and said seriously: "Your Highness, since you like the tea ceremony, it and calligraphy are the essence of Chinese culture. I wonder why you don't plan to practice calligraphy at all?"

Because Su Yan started persuading again, Mu Ci put down the teacup and pretended to listen attentively to show respect.

Seriously, she is really more beautiful, Mu Ruosong was in a trance again...

Su Yan is still persuading: "Know that calligraphy is not only beautiful, but also extremely fair - no matter your status or status, you only need to devote a little time every day, whether you are a prince or a butcher in the market. Son, as long as you persevere and practice diligently day after day, there will always be a day when you can write the charm of calligraphy."

Emperor Tianshou: "..."

All the market butchers lying on the ground: "..."

Mu Ci: "..."

Mu Ci calmly asked: "Your father is a butcher?"

Su Yan: "..." Why is there always a deviation in the focus of this attention?But he still nodded sincerely, "My father used to be Butcher Su in Tongdefang."

Mu Ci saw that he was not ashamed of being born from a poor family, and that he had achieved his current fame and status through his own efforts.

Su Yan was not arrogant, and asked very reservedly: "Is Your Highness..."

Mu Ci has his own pace in doing things. It is not enough for anyone to persuade him once, but there is no need to get angry and quarrel over such a matter. He decided to be frank and honest, and first said to the emperor: "I understand your painstaking efforts, but I know better what I am doing. What to do, what is more suitable. In the future, when I need to study and live, I will tell you that if you have any arrangements, please consult me ​​in advance, is that okay?"

Emperor Tianshou had already respected Jiulang as a mature, wise and excellent leader. Facing Jiulang's calm eyes, he spoke a gentle tone, and there was no way to refuse him, he could only nod.

Mu Cicai looked at Su Yan: "Mr. Please come here, I'm just sorry, I don't disrespect the art of calligraphy, but I pursue efficiency and convenience more. It is more convenient to use a hard pen than a brush, and you will soon understand this. At the same time, the writing speed of the hard pen is faster and more in line with my needs."

Su Yan admitted that the writing speed of the feather pen is indeed faster than that of the flying script.

Mu Ci said frankly: "I don't judge which form of writing is better, only who is more suitable. I will not succumb to the pressure of the mainstream society to practice calligraphy, nor will I perfunctorily do any writing when I am not interested. This is not only my own time wasted, but also my husband's good time. My husband's time is limited, so I should teach..." Mu Ci pointed to the stack of Wang Ziguang's practice paper, "People who understand and cherish. "

Speaking of this, Su Yan knew it was useless, and sighed.

Emperor Tianshou couldn't help sighing, and grabbed Mu Ci's hand: "Jiulang..."

Is there really no chance at all?

"No more persuasion, I've made up my mind." Mu Ci calmly looked at Emperor Tianshou, "Life is bestowed by parents, young and ignorant, and raised by parents, so it is right to be the child that parents expect. But I have already I don’t need to be responsible for anyone’s expectations anymore.” Mu Ci reached out and patted the back of Tianshoudi’s hand lightly, “I don’t mean to complain, I just stated a fact again—no matter what I like or dislike, what I want to do and what I don’t want to do anything, only I can decide! Got it?”

Emperor Tianshou: "..." md.

Everyone: "..." You cow!

……

Su Yan left, but the old man was very research spirit, not only took away the tea, but also took away the pot belly porcelain vase and a few quill pens on the table.

Emperor Tianshou also had his own affairs to deal with, and he did not forget to grab the tea leaves when he left.When he returned to the Chuigong Hall, he not only had memorials waiting for approval, but also Tianshu was waiting for the emperor to look at him with the locked file of the Night Walking Guard.

Emperor Tianshou opened the secret files and read each one. When he saw one, he squinted his eyes, pointed and asked, "What's going on with Jun Feng? How could Jun Feng go to Cuihong Tower to serve as a soldier during training?" Divas are jealous? This is not right... what is even more wrong is how could he lose the battle and be seriously injured and unconscious?"

Junfeng is Bai Lin's surname, and he is currently the general of the Guangsheng Army in the Sixth Guards Army.But Bai Lin's previous status was very good. He was the commander of the imperial forest army before Mou Yu, and one of the people most trusted by Emperor Tianshou. The several great generals in the army were appointed by the Emperor Tianshou himself.

Although Bai Lin was the general of the Guangsheng Army, he was actually the leader of the entire Sixth Army of Guards, because he was capable enough, and the person standing behind him was the Emperor.

Emperor Tianshou knew Bai Lin's temperament, and his strength was quite high, how could he be jealous and still be defeated?

Tianshu said: "General Bai was alone at that time, and he drank a lot of wine. The villain put drugs in the wine, and it was a trick."

Emperor Tianshou narrowed his eyes: "Huh? Have all the villains been caught?"

"I caught it and pleaded guilty, but there are some troubles... The chief messenger is the son of a righteous merchant who came from another place. He came to the household department to collect silver and was just awarded as a righteous merchant. Because of the pampering of his family, he used the insidious method to win his breath. private means."

When it comes to righteous merchants, Emperor Tianshou also finds it troublesome, saying: "The son of righteous merchants should not be punished, and after careful investigation, I always feel that something is wrong."

"Yes!" Tianshu replied, he also felt strange, and after thinking about it, he informed him of the news that he dared not enter the secret file, "During the investigation, some people said that General Bai had a dispute with His Royal Highness Shou Wang before he was injured."

"Oh?"

"But His Royal Highness King Shou..."

Emperor Tianshou was very conniving and trusting to this only brother with the same mother, and he didn't ask Ye Xingwei to monitor secretly. Anyway, King Shou only dealt with stones, trees, flowers and plants every day.

So Emperor Tianshou only asked about the obvious things: "Shou Wang is training soldiers in the Sixth Army recently?"

"Yes!"

"How is he practicing?"

"Subordinates don't know."

"Forget it, call him."

It was said that Cao Cao Cao Cao was coming, and an internal servant outside told him that King Shou asked to see him.

Because of the friction between the two children last time, Emperor Tianshou, who can love his son by his side, sometimes feels that he has done too much by forcing his younger brother to send away the only seedling.But for the sake of Jiulang's reputation - he didn't want his son to be stained more and more.So he had to do this again, so he could only be more kind to King Shou and make up for it.

I believe my brother can understand, dear brother.It is said that the little lady who sent it over was so powerful that she was already pregnant, and after her brother had a child, the previous mess was exposed.

King Shou did come here for Bai Lin's matter.By the way, he complained and said, "Fifth brother, I'm really not expected to lead soldiers. You better not force me to go to military training. It's better if I don't go. As soon as I pass... that kid Bai Lin actually said that I'm a mess... Now at the Xishan Camp It's all messed up."

In fact, the same is true, the Xishan camp is almost against the camp - several generals are struggling to suppress the conflicts in the army because of Shou Wang's blind command, Bai Lin's accident is the last straw, which directly caused a commotion.

The general was afraid of losing the face of the king, so he was embarrassed to say directly, you take a break, and you directed blindly, which was not helpful, and almost killed General Bai.

King Shou sighed, and said: "I can't get off the stage, so I reprimanded General Bai, unsealed his general's seal and asked him to go home and reflect on it for a few days. He planned to return it in two days. He might be in a bad mood, and ended up with someone else." Arguing in the Cuihong Building, I was plotted against, seriously injured and unconscious. Hey...it's all my fault, now that Bai Lin's cronies have objections to me, I don't dare to go to the Xishan Camp anymore." I'm afraid that I will be sacked sometime.

"Turned against them, dare to disrespect you?" Emperor Tianshou said angrily.

King Shou waved his hand: "Fifth brother, don't get angry, this time it's my fault."

Emperor Tianshou also knew that his younger brother was not expected to lead soldiers, so he had no choice but to comfort King Shou with some kind words, and agreed to let him go home temporarily and rest for two days.He wondered whether he should ask Jiulang to try it. Unfortunately, Xishan Daying is also some distance away from Tianjing City, and Jiulang might not be able to bear running back and forth.

King Shou said again: "I think it looks like some scenery in Jin Garden, and it's annoying to look at after a long time. Can Fifth Brother borrow some young men from Xishan Daying to let me repair the garden?"

Emperor Tianshou couldn't laugh or cry: "You repair your garden every year, so that you can't train soldiers, and now you have to abduct some of them."

King Shou smiled embarrassedly: "Isn't it because they are all stronger, and when they do the work, they are better than two. Besides, the drill is just a beating, why not go to my garden to carry the work, which is also beating."

"Okay, you are right, how much do you want?"

"Five thousand... three thousand is fine, plus my own staff, it's almost enough. Is my garden big..." Shou Wang smiled shyly.

"Okay! Okay! Don't miss the business." The Emperor Tianshou couldn't do anything about this younger brother, and asked again, "The two little ladies I pointed out to you are pregnant?"

Speaking of this, King Shou smiled with a wrinkled face that looked older than Emperor Tianshou, and said: "Fifth brother, the little lady you ordered is not ordinary, and the imperial doctor in my mansion said that one of them is already pregnant."

Emperor Tianshou nodded: "That's right, my brother specially picked a good child for you. If you think it's good, you can help me to be a side concubine. If you give birth to a son, you will also be half a son. Whether it is me or my son in the future, I will definitely not be in Chengjue." Ups and downs, etc., are all the same as the prince and prince."

Shou Wang was even happier: "Fifth Brother, you said this yourself. No, there is no evidence for what you say. You can write it to me in black and white."

Emperor Tianshou kept his promises, so he was afraid of his son... He simply wrote an imperial decree, and King Shou put it in his arms like a treasure: "It's good, fifth brother, don't go back on your word."

King Shou didn't find out who was succeeding to the throne, anyway, he had to be called uncle, and he had no real power, so he didn't have to be forced to stand in line.

The Heavenly Granted Emperor laughed: "No way."

The two brothers chatted happily for a while, and all grievances disappeared.

The green tea brewed on the Wei Terminal came up, and the heaven-sent emperor said as if offering a treasure: "This is my new Qinghao tea, please try it."

King Shou also felt that the tea was quite fresh, so he just took half a bag of tea from Emperor Tianshou—Emperor Tianshou regretted it to death, but it was his own brother who robbed him, so he endured it.

King Shou saw Tianshoudi's heartache, and teased: "Fifth brother, you are really getting more and more stingy."

Emperor Tianshou and his own brother didn't need to carry it, and said with a painful look on their faces: "This is the first time my little Jiulang has shown filial piety to me."

When Shou Wang mentioned children, especially that Jiulang in the palace, his smile was a bit forced.

Emperor Tianshou sighed, couldn't bear it, and patted his younger brother on the shoulder: "I really don't blame Jiulang, Jiulang is a good boy, smart and kind, and he won't let you suffer in the future..."

King Shou managed to control the expression on his face, pretending not to understand the explosive hint.

The Emperor Tianshou was still there sighing: "Fifth brother, I have realized that children are all debts. If you give birth to a daughter this time, just... take Ah Jin back, and I will keep my promise and make him a prince. I'm looking at Jiulang's face and accumulating virtue for him. But you should teach Ah Jin well, don't spoil the child too much, don't make the child look crooked, and don't hurt me Jiulang. He is not willing to encounter such a thing, it is not him It's my fault, it's only my fault! The child is so young, he doesn't understand anything, and he can't protect himself...I regret it too."

Tianshoudi spoke incoherently, his eyes were red.

Shou Wang's tears also came down, and said: "I know... I know... Fifth brother..." His throat was choked up, he couldn't speak, he took his brother's hand and just nodded.

Sending off King Shou, Emperor Tianshou felt better, and felt that he had accumulated some blessings for his children.He put the remaining half bag of Qinghao in the drawer of Longan, and said to Wei Zhong: "Everything Jiulang gives is good, don't take it out easily." To avoid being missed.

This is petty.

Emperor Tianshou just wanted to ask Wei Zhong to add people to Hehuan Hall, but after thinking about it, it's better to forget it. When Mou Yu comes back, Xihe Plain is not too far from Tianjing City.

He is really happy today, smelling the fragrance of green tea—his Xiao Jiulang's first real filial piety.

The food that Mou Yu secretly packs every time does not count.

I don't know how Mou Yu's investigation in the Xihe Plain is going.
