Chapter 493 Liu Ertiao’s Trouble (2)

In the past few days, Princess Yuzhang has been staying in the mansion of Changsun Wuji, Duke of Qi, and has been accompanying Princess Changle day and night. She has never left the door and has rarely heard of things outside. Therefore, when she heard what Li Chengqian said, she was shocked. Why did Liu Ertiao leave the mansion and bear the marriage again and cut off contact with the family? Why?

"Well, it's refreshing and calming, and the fragrance in your mouth makes you feel sweet and sweet. This 'Sanyuan Tea' is really good!" Li Shimin picked up the hot tea that Princess Yuzhang had just brewed on the table, placing a sip, closing her eyes and savoring it, and opening her voice softly.

"What my father said is very true," Li Chengqian ordered and deliberately ignored Yu Zhang's question just now, and tried his best to distract Yu Zhang's words, saying: "It is said that the secret recipe for tea making in the 'Liu Family Tea House' is the new tea made from the secret recipe left by Mr. Liu before he retired. Every piece of it is a rare and good product."

When he said this, Li Chengqian's eyes shone brightly. In the eyes of many people, the secret recipe that Liu Yi left for the mansion was countless money.

Li Chengqian has always admired Mr. Liu's ability to make money. In the past, he had been very much benefiting from Liu Yi. Whether it is the "Liu Plough" used for agriculture, the "Liu Water Wheel" used for water irrigation, or the seemingly useless and filthy night fragrance and "Liu Feifang", and the things that are already very cheap and humble now seem to be useless and inconspicuous, as soon as they are passed by Mr. Liu's hands, they immediately become treasure basins that can make infinite wealth.

In this regard, Mr. Liu is really worthy of admiration. At least, in terms of making money, Li Chengqian believes that he is still far from Liu Yi.

"Oh? Is that?" Shen looked at Li Chengqian, and Li Shimin took a sip of the strong tea in the bowl again and said, "This tea is indeed a good product. Well, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a magical product. However, this tea is different from the plow, the water wheel, and the fertilizer, and has no much connection with the country and the people. It can be regarded as a complete private property in the Liu Mansion. Since the Liu Mansion has opened this "Liu Family Tea House", it further illustrates the identity of the merchants in the Liu Mansion."

If the "Liu Family Tea House" is forced to be conscripted by the court again, it is not that Li Shimin would be embarrassed, but that if there is no good excuse, he will inevitably be told and be said to be unvirtuous by the royal family, and it will also cause the thoughts of merchants all over the world. This is something Li Shimin would not want to see.

Li Shimin put down the tea bowl in his hand, looked at Li Chengqian again, and said, "The tribute tea used in daily life in the harem in the future should be advanced from this 'Liu Tea House'. The prince will handle this matter! Remember to accept it with reality, don't treat the Liu family unfairly."

"Yes, father, son, remember!" Li Chengqian bowed and answered.

"Father! Prince Brother! Ru'er is asking you something! You haven't told Ru'er yet why Liu Ertiao left home with his back?"

It was not beyond Yu Zhang's expectations that the "Sanyuan Tea" could be called a tribute tea by his father. After all, although "Sanyuan Tea" is a new product, its reputation and grade are there, and no one will give up the best and take the worst. The wise monarch of the father, even more so. So when Li Shimin and Li Chengqian calmed down, Yu Zhang asked the two of them at the right time.

"You girl don't need to know too much about this kind of thing. You know too much but it is useless. Don't ask again!" Li Shimin turned his head and looked at his precious daughter with some unwillingness. He said to Yu Zhang with a slight stern voice, then waved his hand slightly and said to Yu Zhang softly: "Okay, Ru'er, the father and your prince and brother still have official duties to discuss in detail. You should go back to Lizheng Hall to accompany your mother. Well, bring some of this "Sanyuan Tea" to the queen."

"Oh, yes, father!" Yu Zhang pouted his mouth, looked at her father and prince brother with resentment, bowed to the two of them reluctantly, and turned around and left the study with a box of "Sanyuan Tea".

"You, don't be angry," Empress Changsun held her little daughter Hengshan in her arms, looked at Yu Zhang with a despicable look, and said, "Your father and prince and brother don't want to tell you, because she doesn't want you to come into contact with those intrigues too early. You are still young now."

"And, as a woman and a royal princess, you don't need to know too much. These are all their men's affairs."

Queen Changsun's voice was very soft. Seeing that Yu Zhang was still pouting, she stood beside her, and chuckled and waved her hand, signaling Yu Zhang to sit down next to her and comfort her softly.

"But, mother..."

"I know," Empress Changsun handed the Princess Hengshan who had just fallen asleep in her arms to the wet nurse on the side, signaling the wet nurse to take Princess Hengshan to the inner hall to rest. She turned around and interrupted Yu Zhang's continued words, saying: "Actually, you should be able to see the mystery in this matter, but you didn't think about it carefully."

"What mother's meaning is because of this 'Sanyuan Tea'?" Yu Zhang looked at the tea box on the table and asked Queen Changsun softly with some uncertainty.

"It's not just these teas, but also the coal yard in Liu Mansion and the identity of Mr. Liu's merchant, these are the reasons." Empress Changsun glanced at Yu Zhang and said, "The reason why Liu Ertiao did this is just to avoid trouble as much as possible."

"After more than a month ago, when your father ordered Liu Erzhao to be the county magistrate of Sanyuan, he was once controversial by some court officials because of his family background." Seeing that Yu Zhang was puzzled, Empress Changsun continued softly: "Officials do not speak about business, and business cannot be traded. This is the rule given by the ancestors of all dynasties. Liu Erzhao's origin is somewhat less glorious than those officials of the scholarly disciples."

"I think it was Mr. Liu who had made plans early in the morning to let Liu Erzhao leave his home and leave his home," said Empress Changsun: "Mr. Liu is unwilling to enter the government, but he will never delay the future of his brothers. There is also the newly established "Liu Family Tea House" in Liu Mansion. Once the "Sanyuan Tea House" becomes a tribute tea, the "Liu Family Tea House" will also become famous inside and outside the Tang Dynasty. If Liu Erzhao stays in the palace at this time, can he, the county magistrate of Sanyuan, still be able to do it?"

"Even if Liu Erzhao has broken off contact with the Liu Mansion, with the emergence of the "Liu Family Tea House" and the "Sanyuan Tea", his troubles will definitely be limited."

Although Empress Changsun is a woman, after experiencing many ups and downs, her mind becomes more mature and steady. She can see and understand many things clearly and thoroughly, whether it is the court affairs or life. These Yuzhangs are not as good as the prince, and even many old ministers in the court are not as good as the ones. However, this Empress has always lived in the deep palace and does not participate in political affairs, which is not very noticeable.

"My mother said," Yu Zhang got up and brewed new tea for Queen Changsun himself, and asked in a low voice: "With the mother's intention, wouldn't Liu Ertiao still have some danger now? The father wouldn't have deposed him because of this?"

"These are political affairs. The mother is not good at speaking. Everything depends on your father's meaning." Empress Changsun said nothing about this matter. She looked at every step of Yuzhang's tea making. When she thought of something, she asked Yuzhang softly, and said, "After Ru'er returned to Chang'an, she has not yet met Mr. Yifan?"

"Well, Erchen has always been with Sister Changle, and he has no chance to meet Mr. Yifan." He handed the kettle back to Xiaotong, Princess Yuzhang slowly covered the bowl and sat down next to Empress Changsun, and said, "But some time ago, Erchen had always heard that Zhinu and Yizi mentioned Mr. Yifan, and could see that Zhinu and Yizi were very happy with their new gentleman."

"Well, this is true," Empress Changsun glanced outside the hall and said, "It's almost noon, and the morning's schoolwork is over. Xiao Dezi, go to the study and invite Mr. Yifan to come over, and taste these three original new teas."

"Yes, Empress!" Xiao Dezi responded, turned around and walked out of the hall gate, and headed towards the study room of the side hall.

"Speaking of this, Ru'er and Mr. Yifan are old friends, so there is no need to avoid too many taboos in a while. After tasting Xiangming, let's have lunch with my mother." Seeing Xiao Dezi go out, Empress Changsun smiled and looked at Yu Zhang with a gentle smile.

"Yes, Mother!" Yu Zhang nodded.

"Well? The tea fragrance is really unique." After a while of brewing, there was a faint tea fragrance in the tea bowl in front of Queen Changsun, and the fragrance spreading was very attractive.

"Empress," Just as Empress Changsun raised the tea bowl and prepared the drinks, Xiao Dezi brought the two little princes, King of Jin and Princess Jinyang, back from the study room, and went to the Lizheng Hall, bowed and bowed to Empress Changsun, and replied sharply: "Mr. Yifan is not in the study at this moment. He heard the eunuch who was serving in the study room. Mr. Yifan seemed to have been summoned to Taiji Hall by the emperor."

"Oh? Mr. Yifan was summoned by the emperor?" Putting down the tea bowl in his hand, Empress Changsun couldn't help but look at Zhinu, Yizi, Xiao Dezi and others, with some confusion on her face.
