Chapter 382: The Princess's Revenge
The car was like a mobile cabin, divided into two parts by a door, the inside was the main house, and the outside was the place where the maids in the car stayed, and it was not crowded at all if three or four people were seated. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The main house inside is more spacious, but the layout is low-key luxury, this luxury is not inlaid with gold and jade to express, but reflected in the humanization of the design and arrangement, every corner, every decoration, makes people feel very comfortable.
After sitting down, the carriage set off, very smoothly, the maid quickly sent tea, Liu Han felt a little bored, took a sip of it, only to find that it was not tea, but an unknown drink, after the entrance, the initial astringency, the throat is a little sweet, into the stomach is warm.
"What do you think, sir?" Princess Jingming looked at him with a smile and asked, Liu Han savored it and said, "Very good." ”
Princess Jingming was slightly disappointed, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Perfunctory." ”
"The entrance is astringent, the throat is sweet, and the abdomen is warm," Liu Han said, "It can be described as three changes." ”
Princess Jingming clapped her hands and smiled: "Sir said it well. ”
"What kind of tea is this?" Liu Han looked at the water in the cup, this water was not simply white, slightly yellow, it looked a bit like tea, but it was obviously not tea, but he didn't know what to use to describe this thing for a while, so he called it tea.
"Sir, you can guess. "Princess Jingming sold it.
Liu Han smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There are so many things in the world, Liu is lonely and unheard, and I ask the princess for advice." ”
Princess Jingming frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "Sir, since you got into Jingming's car, you are Jingming's guest, Mr. is respectful to Jingming, but in fact he is distant and cold, Jingming doesn't understand, and is very aggrieved, Jingming doesn't know that he offended Mr., and please tell Mr. ”
Liu Han was stunned, this woman is not only poisonous, but also very direct, in this polite society, this is extremely rare, no wonder the imperial capital has a bad opinion of her.
"Mr. refused to say, but Jingming knew," Princess Jingming's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and her expression added a little sadness: "Jingming is a weak woman, or a widow, the folk say that there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, not to mention, Jingming also has the title of princess..." ”
"Your Highness," Liu Han hurriedly interrupted her, and if she continued, the woman's tears were probably about to fall: "Liu,.. After a pause, he quickly changed his words: "I don't have the slightest disrespect for you, call Your Highness, yes, it's me, I really don't know what to call it, so as not to be rude, I also have to explain, the princess has been invited more than a dozen times, I know the princess's kindness, but ,... In my opinion, poetry is a good thing, but it is not very useful, the princess has been dressed and eaten since she was a child, and I don't know the difficulties of our small people. ”
Princess Jingming shook her head slightly, and the jade steps between her hair swayed slightly: "Mr. is wrong, Jingming is not a person who does not eat fireworks in the world, and knows the difficulties of the people's life. ”
Liu Han didn't speak, just sighed softly, took a cup and took a sip, letting the astringency stay in his mouth for a while longer, and gradually become sweeter.
"I made this tea myself," Princess Jingming said, "I used five or six kinds of materials, well, if Mr. likes it, the slave family can copy the recipe to Mr. later." ”
Liu Han couldn't help smacking his tongue, this liquid with a slight yellow color was actually a synthesis of five or six things, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if this woman was in her previous life, she could definitely serve as the chief developer of a beverage company.
He thought and asked, "It's a lot of money." ”
Princess Jingming pursed her lips: "Mr. is worthy of being a businessman, and he thinks of making money, but the slave family doesn't know, these things are quite common, and they are sold in pharmacies, so I don't think it will cost much silver." ”
"Pharmacy?" Liu Han looked at the tea again and asked tentatively, "Do you dare to make this a medicine?"
"Sir is right, this is actually a kind of medicine," Princess Jingming nodded appreciatively: "The slave family is flustered, and the effect of finding a few prescriptions is not good, and I have nothing to do, so I got such a prescription, although I am still flustered, but the taste is not bad, so I stayed." ”
Liu Han smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and saluted Princess Jingming: "If this thing is not expensive, it should be a good drink in winter, if Your Highness is willing, I can promote it in the market, maybe I can earn a sum of silver." ”
Princess Jingming sneered, this smile was as bright as a bright glow, making people dare not look directly, Liu Han felt that her lower abdomen was hot, and she quickly gathered her mind, turned her inner breath darkly, suppressed this restlessness, and picked up the teacup again, and used tea to cover it up.
Princess Jingming's princess mansion was originally called Dong Mansion, although the Dong family is Yanzhou Gate Valve, but the door is really not high, there is no chance to enter the inner city, after Princess Jingming married to the Dong family, the emperor did not reward the house in the inner city, but only allocated funds from the inner government to expand a house of the Dong family on Yangliu Street, Yangliu Street heard the name is similar to Liuyin Street, but it is actually far away.
Liuyin Street is the most prosperous neighborhood in the outer city of the imperial capital, but it is named because of Liuyin Wharf, similarly, Yangliu Street is also named because of Yangliu Wharf, these two wharves are on the Changqing Canal, Changqing Canal from south to north, zigzag in the city, walked dozens of miles.
But there is more than one Changqing Canal in the imperial capital, in addition to the Changqing Canal, there are four canals, these four are from south to north, or from east to west, communicating the entire imperial capital canal, the water transportation in the imperial capital is developed, there are many bridges, at the same time, there are many docks, Liu Han said to five docks, referring to five freight docks, although there are many docks in the imperial capital, but there are only five docks that can get on and off goods, all kinds of goods from all over the empire to the imperial capital are unloaded at these five docks, and other docks can get on and off passengers, but it is forbidden to get on and off bulk goods。
If Liuyin Street is the core CBD of Chengxi District, Yangliu Street is the cultural street of Chengxi District, there are many calligraphy and painting shops on this street, and there are also many teahouses.
After Princess Jingming died, she changed the Dong Mansion to Princess Jingming's Mansion, and the Dong family didn't care, even if she wanted to, she couldn't manage it, Jingming was actually her title, and her maiden name was Yanluo, but the people of the imperial capital still felt that the name Jingming was more palatable.
The carriage did not stop in front of the mansion, but drove straight into the mansion, stopped in the vestibule of the mansion, and the coachman quickly brought a wooden ladder and put it in front of the carriage, and the maid went down first, and then Princess Jingming came out and helped the maid to get out of the car.
"At the end of the day, it's the princess, look at your house, it's much more beautiful than my broken grass hut. Liu Han got out of the car and looked around and teased.
Princess Jingming smiled, and then sneered: "Sir, that mansion is also called a broken grass shed, and most of the mansions in the imperial capital are not even grass sheds." ”
Liu Han smiled, Princess Jingming did not lead him to the main hall of the front yard, but walked to the backyard from the corner gate next to him, Liu Han wondered in his heart, could this tea party be held in the backyard? This is surprising.
In this era, men and women do not have the kind of big defense in their previous lives, but entering the backyard is different, the backyard is the residence of the family, that is, the residence of the master's wife and concubine, and generally people who are not very familiar with it will not be invited to the backyard.
However, after passing a corner gate, Princess Jingming did not continue to enter the backyard, but turned to the corner gate to the east, Liu Han was a little relieved, and then, after passing two more doors, she entered a courtyard.
As soon as he entered the yard, Liu Han couldn't help but light up in front of him, a burst of vitality came to his face, although it was early spring, the yard was already lush, full of green, there was a small ditch in the middle of the yard, the meandering passage from the middle of the yard, the canal was surrounded, a small peninsula was enclosed in the yard, there was a rockery on the peninsula, the rockery was soaked in water, full of moss, but there were several dwarf green pines on the cliff in the middle, the green pines were verdant, trembling and towering.
There were already seven or eight people chatting in the courtyard, and when they saw Princess Jingming coming in, these people all stood up one after another, and saluted Princess Jingming together, Liu Han swept his eyes, and saw an acquaintance, Qiu Ge, Qiu Ge also saw him, and glanced at him, taking advantage of Princess Jingming's inattention, showing a helpless smile, obviously, he also came reluctantly.
Princess Jingming waved her hand and said loudly: "Thank you for coming, please sit down, it's still the old rules, casual, you can't commit so many courtesies." As he spoke, he turned sideways to reveal Liu Han behind him, and introduced in a coquettish voice: "I would like to introduce a new friend to you today, this is Liu Hanliu of the three earthquake emperor capitals, today I specially went to invite him to come over, Mr. Liu is usually busy with affairs, and it is rare to have leisure, so it is a great honor for Jingming to come today." ”
Liu Han's head became big all of a sudden, this woman is poisonous enough, since ancient times, there is no first, there is no second martial arts, after her words came out, wouldn't she become the public enemy of all the scholars present!
Looking at those scholars again, sure enough, there were already a few scholars who showed hesitation, and a few young ones seemed to be unable to hold back, eager to attack, only Qiu Ge was still serious, but looking at Liu Han's eyes showing sympathy and pity, it was obvious that this guy didn't dare to offend Princess Jingming, and wanted to stand by.
"Liu has seen all the sons," Liu Han took a step forward and hugged the fist group to give a salute: "The princess overestimates Liu, Liu is just a villain, doing nothing all day long, that and your sons are well-read, your sons are from famous families, they have been taught by famous teachers since childhood, and they are fortunate to see your sons today, and Liu is fortunate to have three lives." ”
Listening to Liu Han's humble words, several eager sons suddenly eased up, while Qiu Ge showed disdain, grinning at Liu Han, as if he was scolding him for being shameless.
Princess Jingming did not interrupt or continue to "appreciate", after Liu Han finished speaking, she invited him to take a seat, Liu Han hesitated slightly, or followed Jingming over, and now there are only two empty cases in the field, obviously, this is left for the two of them.
