Chapter 701 Treat it as garbage
Lin Xuan didn't know about Changsun Chong being fined and exiled into the army, so he couldn't guess Changsun Wuji's intention, and asked, "Madam, do you think we should go?"
"Husband, after all, Duke Zhao is the concubine's uncle. It would be bad for him to formally send someone to send invitations."
Li Lizhi knew that the relationship between Lin Xuan and Changsun Wuji was not very good, and wanted to take the opportunity to ease the relationship between the two.
Lin Xuan didn't know what Li Lizhi was thinking, but what Li Lizhi said made sense.
In ancient times, filial piety was emphasized, and Changsun Wuji was an elder after all. People didn't know the relationship between the two. Now that he officially sent the invitation, if he didn't go, it would be his fault.
"Since that's the case, it's getting late, madam, let's change our clothes and go." Lin Xuan said.
He was also a little curious about why Changsun Wuji was in such a hurry to ask them to go.
Normally, guests would send invitations a few days in advance, but Changsun Wuji did not send invitations until noon. If there was no purpose, Lin Xuan didn't believe it at all.
After the two of them changed their clothes, the carriage was ready, and they boarded the carriage and headed for Chang'an.
……
Changsun Wuji arranged for someone to watch the movement of Lin's mansion, and when Lin Xuan set out, he got the news.
When Lin Xuan and Li Lizhi were about to arrive, he came to the door and waited.
When the carriage stopped, Lin Xuan and Li Lizhi got out of the carriage. Changsun Wuji hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said, "Mr. Changsun Wuji welcomes the eldest princess."
"Uncle, you don't need to be too polite." Li Lizhi said with a smile on her face, and gave her a little support.
"Thank you princess."
Changsun Wuji was polite to Li Li, but not so polite to Lin Xuan. He cupped his hands casually and said, "It's been a long time since I saw you, but the son-in-law is still as handsome as ever."
"I have met Zhao Guogong." Lin Xuan bowed slightly and saluted.
Changsun Wuji nodded, and said to Li Lizhi, "Princess, consort please."
"Didn't uncle say that this is a family banquet? As an elder and the host, uncle should invite you first." Li Lizhi smiled.
Seeing Li Lizhi, who was smiling all over her face and speaking impeccably, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but think, if Changsun Chong married Li Lizhi, the current mess would not happen.
Although what happened this time seemed to be because of some quarrel between the two, Chang Sun Chong beat Princess Gao Yang out of anger.
However, Changsun Wuji thought about it carefully for the past two days, and found that this incident was not accidental.
Princess Gaoyang is naturally beautiful and smart. Li Shimin likes this daughter very much. Coupled with the noble status of the princess, she has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child, which has also formed her domineering and domineering character.
It's okay in the palace, because of the existence of Empress Changsun, Princess Gao Yang still restrained herself.
But after leaving the palace, there are not so many worries.
And when Changsun Chong was half a year old, Empress Changsun became a queen. The Changsun family was not only a relative, but also very valued by Li Shimin. It can be said that he was the most powerful person in the Tang Dynasty.
Growing up in this kind of family, coupled with the fact that he often went to the palace to play since he was a child, caused him to be a little supercilious.
When two people with such personalities are together, it's only a matter of time before something happens.
If Changsun Chong married Li Lizhi, Li Lizhi's identity alone could make Changsun Chong calm down.
He watched Li Lizhi grow up, and his personality is very similar to that of Empress Changsun.
Even if he doesn't have the status of the eldest princess, Changsun Wuji is willing to let Changsun Chong marry Li Lizhi back.
However, all of this was destroyed by Lin Xuan. Although Wei Zheng told Li Shimin about the danger of inbreeding, after so long, Changsun Wuji had already found out, and it was Lin Xuan who brought it up.
Therefore, the hatred for Lin Xuan was very deep in his heart.
But what kind of person Changsun Wuji is, and the city is extremely deep, so naturally he won't reveal it at this time.
Hearing what Li Lizhi said, Changsun Wuji did not refuse, and said with a smile: "Since the princess said so, the old minister respectfully obeys."
Even so, Changsun Wuji is only half a body ahead.
Lin Xuan has been to many Duke's mansions, even the Prince's Mansion of Hejian County. These mansions can only be compared with Duke Zhao's Mansion of Hejian County.
Along the way, there are pavilions, terraces and pavilions, rockery and flowing water, which are extremely luxurious.
When they came to the hall, after the host and guest were seated, the maid served tea.
"I heard that the tea leaves were made by the son-in-law, and the princess gave some to the old man. This old man is borrowing flowers to present to the Buddha." Changsun Wuji said with a smile.
It is also heard that in Chang'an, anyone with a certain status does not know that this tea is made by him.
The drinking method of tea in the Tang Dynasty was boiled tea or fried tea.According to the "Tea Classic", the production process of tea in the Tang Dynasty was "picking it, steaming it, smashing it, shooting it, roasting it, wearing it, sealing it, and the tea is thousands of years." When drinking, first put the cake tea on the Roast on the fire, then use a tea mill to crush the tea cake into powder, then use a sieve to sieve into fine powder, and put it in boiling water to cook.Finally, scoop the brewed tea soup into a bowl for drinking.The first three bowls taste better, but the last two bowls are worse.Beyond the five bowls, there is "nothing to drink unless you are thirsty".This was the most popular way of drinking tea in the society at that time.
Therefore, tea leaves in ancient times were all made into tea cakes, and it is very rare to preserve tea leaves like Lin Xuan.
However, Lin Xuan also had to admire Changsun Wuji, the words that were obviously sarcasm, said very plainly from his mouth, as if they were just commonplace words and had no other meaning.
"Since Zhao Guogong likes it, I'll ask someone to send some over later." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
This year's new tea has come down, and the method of roasting tea is still used. Compared with directly brewing the dried tea leaves, the taste is more mellow.
It just so happened that I didn't know what to do with the tea leaves before, so I gave some to Zhangsun Wuji and treated it as garbage.
Presumably Changsun Wuji will know that he has better tea leaves, which he does not want, and his face must be very exciting.
Changsun Wuji didn't know what Lin Xuan was thinking, and thought that Lin Xuan also wanted to ease the relationship with him, and the smile on his face grew stronger.
The next few people chatted and sipped tea. Changsun Wuji didn't reveal his purpose, so Lin Xuan naturally wasn't in a hurry.
"Sir, lunch is ready," said the butler.
Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Let's pass on the meal."
"Yes."
The butler stepped back, and not long after, the maids lined up to deliver Jiayao one after another.
I don't know if it's following the ancient rituals, or I don't want to use something invented by Lin Xuan.
Changsun Wuji's banquet for Lin Xuan and Li Lizhi this time still adopts a meal-sharing system. Not only that, even the dishes are made by cooking methods such as steaming, boiling and roasting, and there is no frying.
"Princess, son-in-law, try the food to see if it suits your appetite." Changsun Wuji said with a smile.
Li Lizhi smiled slightly, elegantly picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks, tasted it, and said with a smile: "The taste is very good. Compared with the imperial chef in the palace, it is not too much of a show."
"Haha, the cook used to be the imperial cook in the palace, but he retired when he got old, so the old man invited him to teach the cooks at home. This time he heard that the princess came, so he cooks for himself." Changsun Wuji laughed.
