The Fragrance Attracted the Court Officials
Zhangsun hurriedly wiped away his tears and pretended to be fine. He stood up and smiled."Erlang is back, what are you bringing for me?”
After so many years of ups and downs, Li Shimin did not put on any airs in front of his grandson. His grandson also did not like to call him His Highness or His Majesty in private. He still liked to call him Erlang like before.
Seeing that his children were here, Li Shiming quickly shouted,"Men, men, cloth the bowls and chopsticks."
Where did Erlang go? Why are you so happy to be back?
But Zhangsun didn't dare to ask. If the Turks were mentioned, the good atmosphere would be gone.
"So many Bi Luo? It's extremely beautiful." Zhangsun smiled.
"Let me teach you." Li Shiming taught him how to eat. Zhangsun was curious. When he drank a mouthful of soup, his eyes sparkled as if all the stress he had been under recently had been swept away. He didn't expect that this little Bi Luo could have such a miraculous effect.
"Men, while it's still hot, immediately send four baskets to the Retired Emperor, two baskets to Concubine Yang for him to eat with Ke 'er, two baskets to Concubine Wei, and one basket to the Eldest Princess. He told them to be careful and not get scalded. Call Qin Que over."
In the blink of an eye, nine out of ten trays of buns were sent out. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and he kept one tray.
Zhangsun was still blowing buns for Chengqian and Changle, carefully feeding them. Li Shi Min was extremely satisfied. Such a woman was truly a gift from the heavens.
Out of the ten trays of buns, Zhangsun gave out nine trays, three for each of the three children, and only one for himself.
Li Shimin also blamed himself. His wife could only eat one of the ten trays of Soup Dumplings.
The shopkeeper was to blame for selling it at such a high price. Even Tian Zi didn't have any money now, especially after being robbed this morning. If there was nothing wrong, how could a man ask his wife for money?
After the child finished eating, Zhangsun carefully tasted the remaining one. After a long time, he opened his eyes and smiled."Where did Erlang buy the food? I've never eaten such delicious food before.”
"It's just opposite our Vermilion Bird Sect. That little shopkeeper is also a strange person. His craftsmanship is not to be said, but it's too expensive. A tray actually costs fifty wen.
If you like it, get someone to buy it. I bought ten trays of steamed buns and you only ate one. I was careless. It's been hard on you during this period of time.”
Zhangsun was originally quite happy, but when he heard that the steamed buns cost 50 wen per steamer, he instantly became a miser. He was about to go crazy from poverty, yet he could still spend money recklessly. Damn it, it's so expensive."
"Achoo!"
Mo Ran was happily cleaning his parents 'bodies when he sneezed. He looked left and right. That bastard was scolding me behind my back?
However, on second thought, business was good today. He would have to buy more later.
The court system of the Great Tang was inherited from the Sui Dynasty, and it was equivalent to five o'clock in the morning in the future. But unlike modern people, who woke up at four o'clock, there was still time. It was common for officials to wake up in the middle of the night.
After changing clothes, they had dinner. At three o'clock, they gathered in front of the Vermilion Bird Gate. At four o'clock, the Vermilion Bird Gate opened and people entered one after another. At five o'clock, the morning court session started. Then, they started to argue. Who knew when the court session would end?
Qin Song leaned against the door and looked at the endless convoy. He could not help but shake his head."The armored general passed through the pass at night, the courtiers waited until the fifth watch, and the eminent monk did not wake up. It seems that fame and fortune are not as good as leisure!”
In the blink of an eye, he looked at his own shop. It seemed that it was not as good as others. He woke up early, and others were also princes and ministers. He woke up early, and he was just selling steamed buns.
Fang Xuanling hadn't slept well last night. It had been less than two months since the new emperor had taken the throne, and he had just sent off the Turkic army. He still had to deal with the messy affairs of the court. He had to think of all aspects, or His Majesty would suffer.
"Master, Lord Du is here."
"Please get in the car!"
Du Ruhui was already forty-two years old. He could be considered an old man in the Great Tang. His health was poor all year round, and he had to get up so early every day. He really didn't know how long he could last.
"Brother Keming, come up quickly." Fang Xuanling helped him up and smiled.""Did you sleep well last night?"
Du Ruhui shook his head with a bitter smile. I came here to chat with you. It's good to take a nap."
The two pillars of the Great Tang exchanged a bitter glance.
Fang Xuanling took out a lunchbox." Quick, try it. This is a pastry made by a servant." He couldn't enter the palace gate for a while, so he had to fill his stomach. I woke up early in the morning and couldn't eat anything.”
Du Ruhui took the pastry and tasted it."Tell me, when we go to court later, His Majesty will definitely ask about the strategy of governing the country. How should we answer?”
"How else can I answer? He had thought about it a lot these days, but he had no clue. Presumably, all the ministers would have a way. You, on the other hand, have a lot of ideas. You should think more about it.”
"I don't have as many ideas as you. Haha." After Du Ruhui finished speaking, his nose twitched and he sniffed around."Where did that fragrance come from?"
Fang Xuanling opened the curtains and looked outside. Not far away, there was a small stove with layers of steamers placed on it. The fragrance was coming from the steamers.
"Look, when did a shop open there? It's called Good and Breakfast. It smells good."
"Just in time, there are still some hours before the court session. Why don't we go there to eat?”
They smelled it, and so did the others. At this moment, Qin Song's Soup Dumplings just happened to be out of the pot, and the fragrance instantly spread.
"F * ck, where's that fragrance coming from? Old Cheng's drooling…Second Brother Qin, quick, quick come down, there's a small shop over there.”
For a moment, many officials smelled the fragrance and looked over.
