The Taoist Child Rejected, Chang 'an Promotions!
"Prime Minister, please enter the side hall."
Li Canglang could not help but ask when he saw Fang Xuanling looking around the temple like a headless fly!
"Haha." Fang Xuanling smiled embarrassedly.
Although he was the prime minister of the Great Tang and had seen a lot, he had never seen such a luxurious and magnificent Taoist temple, so he was naturally curious!
Under Li Canglang's invitation, Fang Xuanling followed him into the side hall!
"Dao Child Salvation, here are 100 taels of gold. This is the best Su embroidery, and this is the best Mengshan tea in Shu…"
Fang Xuanling instructed the guards to arrange the gifts one by one before introducing them.
Li Canglang glanced at them and knew that they were all good stuff!
Since Fang Xuanling didn't want to get straight to the point, Li Canglang wasn't in a hurry. He simply took some boiled water and started making tea!
Li Canglang had yet to drink the top-grade Meng Mountain Tea from the Great Tang era. He took out the tea leaves and placed them into the teapot that he had already prepared!
Fang Xuanling, who had been talking non-stop, was stunned by Li Canglang's actions.
"Dao Child Salvation, how can you brew tea like this?”
"It's not brewing tea, it's brewing tea!" Li Canglang corrected.
“？？？”Fang Xuanling was stunned!
Li Canglang knew that the tea in the Tang Dynasty was first ground into powder, then boiled with water for the first time, then boiled with salt. After the second boil, the ground tea leaves were poured in and boiled for the third time!
At this time, he could divide the tea into teacups. This was not enough. He had to add onions, ginger, dates, orange peel, Zhu Yu, mint, and so on according to his personal taste. He could add whatever spices he liked!
The final taste was imaginable! It was really strange!
Li Canglang couldn't drink this kind of boiled tea, so he could only stubbornly choose to make tea!
"Forget it, these are not important." Fang Xuanling waved his hand.
"The current Emperor wishes to see this Daoist child. I wonder when Tong will have the time to come with me to the capital to meet the Emperor?”
"I haven't had the time." Li Canglang didn't want to see the heartless Li Shiming, so he rejected him immediately.
Fang Xuanling was helpless when he saw that Li Canglang did not give him any face." The Runan King who exploited the villagers at the foot of Crouching Dragon Mountain has been stripped of his title by His Majesty and sent to the imperial prison. He will be executed after autumn! The land under the Runan King belongs to Dao Tong. If Dao Tong is willing to enter the capital, he can be granted the title of Marquis!”
Fang Xuanling looked at Li Canglang expectantly!
Marquis!
What kind of glory was this? Even if the Daoist child had extraordinary abilities, he was still in the secular world!
As long as one was in the secular world, there was no one who did not want to have the great honor of being a marquis!
Fang Xuanling knew very well that the Dao Child Salvation must be having a fierce battle of ideas right now!
Unfortunately, Fang Xuanling was wrong. Li Canglang's heart was still as calm as water!
"The Great Han War God Huo Qubing was conferred the title of Marquis at the age of seventeen. Now, I, Li Canglang, am only six years old and I'm already a marquis. I'm afraid there's no one like me in the future!”
Li Canglang said with a smile!
"Unprecedented! Hmm, that's a good sentence!" Fang Xuanling nodded repeatedly, cheering for the Daoist child's literary talent!
"Unfortunately, I'm still unwilling." Li Canglang shook his head and said calmly!
"Why?"
Fang Xuanling's expectant expression changed drastically, turning into one of utter astonishment!
He really couldn't understand why Li Canglang would reject such an honorable offer!
However, Fang Xuanling did not know that as long as Li Canglang entered the capital and revealed his identity, what awaited him would not be a Marquis but a King!
Hence, Li Canglang didn't care about a mere Marquis!
"Prime Minister, please return! Deep in the mountains and deep in the valley, I have the company of a green ox. It's wonderful to live alone in a Taoist temple!”Li Canglang waved his hand to send them off!
Fang Xuanling still wanted to persuade him, but Li Canglang had already closed his eyes to rest. He could only sigh helplessly and leave with his guards!
After Fang Xuanling left, Li Canglang opened his eyes again!
It had rained heavily last night, and the mountain road was extremely muddy. However, Fang Xuanling had still arrived at the Taoist temple early in the morning. This was enough to see Fang Xuanling's attitude, and to spy on the attitude of the Tang Imperial Court!
The Great Tang's Imperial Court would definitely want him to come out and help the Great Tang!
But Li Canglang would never agree to it!
Although Li Shi Min was his biological father, he had almost killed his enemy. This kindness and hatred made it difficult for him to choose!
Since he couldn't make a choice, he might as well hide in the Taoist temple in the mountains. He could do both to protect himself and help the world!
……
The Duke of Liang Residence!
Fang Xuanling came back with anger. Just as he reached the gate, he saw Fang Yiai running back, crying and covered in mud!
"What's wrong?" Fang Xuanling asked in surprise.
" Cheng Chumo is too ruthless, he has no rules…" Fang Yi 'ai nagged.
"Tell the truth!" Fang Xuanling said impatiently.
"My son lost to Cheng Chumo!”Fang Yiai lowered his head.
"Coward! How did I give birth to a coward like you!”
Fang Xuanling was furious!
He took the long stick from the guard in front of the manor and hit Fang Yi 'ai's butt with it!
"It hurts! Father, it hurts!" After Fang Yi 'ai was hit, she jumped up instantly.
She quickly rushed into the residence. Mother, father wants to kill son!"
Fang Xuanling sighed in disappointment and immediately ran into the residence to beat him even harder!
When Madam Fang heard the commotion, she quickly ran out and protected her son, Fang Yi 'ai!
"Prime Minister Fang, if you have any unhappy matters in the court, you don't have to bring them home, right? This is your biological son!”Fang Furen was extremely protective of her son!
Fang Xuanling could only give up when he saw that his wife was protecting his son!
Throwing the staff in the courtyard, he sighed and returned to the hall!
Fang Furen let Fang Yi 'ai return to her room and entered the central room. Seeing her husband sighing, she couldn't help but stand behind him and massage his waist.
"Husband, who did you suffer this time?”
"I'm just disappointed that you didn't live up to my expectations! The Daoist child on Crouching Dragon Mountain was only six years old. His Majesty wanted to confer him the title of Marquis, but he waved his hand and refused! Where's my son? She was already seventeen years old, but she only knew how to play every day!”
Fang Xuanling said with grief and indignation.
"The Dao child from Crouching Dragon Mountain? Is there a Daoist temple on Crouching Dragon Mountain?" Mrs. Fang was curious!
"Yes!" Fang Xuanling nodded and explained the matter of the Daoist child and the Daoist temple in detail!
"I thought Crouching Dragon Mountain was so dangerous that there were no Daoist temples! I didn't expect there to be such a magnificent Taoist temple!”Mrs. Fang exclaimed repeatedly!
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and laughed as if the Taoist temple belonged to his family. Looking at his wife's surprised eyes, he was also full of pride!
"I've never heard of making tea?”After hearing Fang Xuanling's story, Madam Fang immediately took out some high-quality tea leaves and started brewing!
After that, Fang Xuanling took a sip and praised,
"Yes! It was full of fragrance, and it was also soft and fragrant when it entered his mouth! It was much better than the tea he had brewed before!”
Fang Xuanling lamented that he had lived for more than forty years before he learned such a wonderful method of drinking tea. He was inferior to even a six-year-old Daoist child!
Mrs. Fang was also full of praise!
Mrs. Fang was also very active in the upper class of Chang 'an City. Therefore, in a few days, the spectacular Taoist temple on Crouching Dragon Mountain and the method of making tea had spread to the celebrities of Chang' an!
