Some of these rumors were true and some were false. However, regardless of whether they were true or false, what they said had a nose and eyes. In the end, even Qin Feng, the person involved, almost believed them.
However, no matter which version of the news, Qin Feng was not exposed. After all, most of the scholar-bureaucrats did not know Qin Feng, and he was coincidentally not present on the day they met him. In addition, the three brothers of Cheng Chumo kept their mouths shut, so outsiders did not know who this mysterious young immortal poet was.
No matter how the news spread in Chang 'an, Qin Feng did not care at all. He continued to eat and sleep every day.
After all, he was now the Count of Lantian. The Count of Lantian's mansion in Lantian County had been completed in half a month.
Originally, it could not be built so quickly. A few years ago, the former Crown Prince, Li Jiancheng, wanted to build a palace here. Halfway through the construction, the then Emperor, the current Retired Emperor, Li Yuan, rejected it, so it was shelved.
After Li Jiancheng was killed by Li Er, the palace was naturally abandoned. This way, Qin Feng benefited. Not only did the mansion occupy a large area, but it also saved the cost of building the foundation. The remaining houses were trimmed in just half a month under Qin Shoucai's heavy spending.
Although Qin Shoucai was usually reluctant to be extravagant, his son becoming Count Lantian was a great opportunity for their ancestors. Moreover, the more imposing the mansion of Count Lantian was, the brighter their faces would be.
After finding a Feng Shui master to pick an auspicious day, the Qin Manor moved to the Lantian Manor.
Red lanterns and banners were hung all over the Palace of the Earl. In order to add to the festive atmosphere, Qin Feng wrote a poem on a stone tablet outside the Palace.
"There are fifty strings on the zither for no reason, and each string is a pillar of thought. Zhuang Sheng dreamed of butterflies in his dreams, and the emperor's spring heart entrusted cuckoo. The moon in the vast sea has tears, and the sun in the blue field is warm and the jade produces smoke. This feeling can wait to be remembered, but at that time it was already lost.”
It was still written in Qin Feng's unique regular script. Those craftsmen who chiseled and carved words on the stone tablet all year round did not dare to take over when they saw this word. Without decades of immersion, it was impossible to carve such words on the stone tablet.
Therefore, those words could only be left on the stone tablet. A shed was built on it to shelter them from the wind and rain, and people were sent to protect them.
Everyone who came to the Qin Manor stopped in front of the stone tablet to look at it. They were both amazed by the vigorous strength of the brush and convinced by the emotions contained in the poem.
From this poem, it could be seen that this was the poet's recollection of the lost years.
The first couplet is "Qi", which uses the 50 strings of the zither to describe the 50 years of life; The second couplet was compared to "Cheng", and life would come to an end without knowing it. The triple was "Zhuan", which used pearls and precious jade as a metaphor for his talent. The last couplet was "close", time urged people to grow old, everything was lost!
Many people were speculating who the poet who could write such a vicissitudes of life was. The author of the poem said that he had lived through fifty years. There didn't seem to be anyone who matched the characteristics of the Count of Lantian. Could it be that he had hired someone to write a poem to support the scene?
On the day of the relocation, the big shots who were on good terms with Qin Feng gathered and came to congratulate him.
Qin Shoucai couldn't stop smiling. The congratulatory gifts these people brought were all extraordinary, such as luminous pearls, hundred-year-old ginseng, and jade pendants.
Those who cooperated with Qin Feng in salt production, wine production, and even the new Chang 'an magistrate who had just taken office and whom he had never met before came.
Others might not know the twists and turns, but the new Chang 'an Magistrate Cao Yanfu knew everything. Fan Jian was impeached by Minister Sun and sent to prison because he offended Qin Feng.
Fan Jian could be considered to be close to the Minister. Minister Sun had killed the Chang 'an Magistrate for Qin Feng, which showed how terrifying Qin Feng was. Therefore, no matter how busy Uncle Lan was, he had to pay a visit to Qin Feng.
He did not expect that he would not know if he did not come. When he came, he found that many of the big shots who were at the core of power had also come to congratulate him. In the end, even His Majesty had come.
Cao Yanfu's forehead was covered in sweat. How could he dare to offend Qin Feng again? He had long classified him into the ranks of people who could never be offended.
The hierarchy of the Tang Dynasty was still relatively strict. The housewarming party naturally had to host a banquet to entertain the guests, and those congratulatory guests had long been divided into three, six, and nine grades.
The lowest ranking were Qin Shoucai's friends, most of whom were landowners and merchants with no status. Next were some small officials that he had known for many years.
Next were the officials who had a cooperative relationship with Qin Feng or wanted to make peace with him. These people came for Qin Feng's face. Naturally, they wouldn't be together with the other people. They would have a banquet in a separate courtyard.
Qin Feng didn't like crowds by nature. He drank a cup of wine in each courtyard and left after showing his face. Although he ate a few mouthfuls of food, he was still very hungry.
The Qin Residence should be called the Lan Tian Residence now. The servants in the residence were all busy taking care of each other. Moreover, the dishes they made did not suit Qin Feng's appetite. He went to the kitchen to prepare some dishes to eat.
Tang Dynasty food was mainly raw, cold, or steamed. Qin Feng was not used to it. As a modern person, he still liked to stir-fry more.
In the past few years, he had also used the books in the library to make a lot of seasonings, such as vegetable oil, soy sauce, etc., which could add a lot of flavor to food.
As for the gourmet powder, it was not that Qin Feng did not want to make it, but the raw materials and equipment were limited. He could not make it very well. However, even so, it far exceeded the skills of a restaurant chef.
Before he transmigrated, Qin Feng preferred to eat pork, so he had raised many pigs in a free-range manner. Without pig feed, they would not be raised in captivity. Their taste had already surpassed most of the pork in the future.
However, pigs were not a favorite food of the nobles in the Tang Dynasty. They were usually eaten by ordinary people. Those scholar-bureaucrats and nobles mainly ate mutton. They did not like pork and even thought that chickens, ducks, and geese were not meat.
There was no refrigerator in the manor, but there was no lack of ice. There was a special secret room in the manor, and ice was piled neatly around it as a simple cold storage.
Qin Feng took out two catties of pork from the cold storage and prepared to cook a good meal.
Unexpectedly, just as he came out of the cold storage warehouse, Qin Feng saw a group of people walking into this courtyard.
Qin Feng took a closer look. The person in the lead was Li Er, followed by a boy and a girl who were eight or nine years old. Behind them were Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao, and the others.
Just as Qin Feng was about to bow, Li Er looked at Qin Feng, who was holding the pork, and waved his hand."There's no need to bow today. Why aren't you accompanying the guests in front?”
"Your Majesty, I don't like crowds, so I want to prepare some food myself." Qin Feng replied.”
"Oh?" Li Er raised his eyebrows and asked. Zhen remembered that you said in the palace last time that the imperial cuisine was only so-so. Could it be that you can make something better than Zhen's imperial cuisine?”
