Chapter 25 Tracing the Hehan Magpie Bridge 1

When Master Li turned around, he saw that it was Yang Xuanqing.

Chuxiu stood up and shouted, "Fourth Master."

When Yang Xuanqing saw that Li Yaoshi and Chuxiu were together, he quietly pulled Li Yaoshi and smiled ambiguously: "Pharmacist, I don't know that you and Chuxiu..."

Pharmacist Li interrupted him: "Don't guess, I'll only help the two children catch the grasshopper!"

Yang Xuanqing smiled and said, "I'm not guessing. I'm thinking about coming out of the mountains here, and I'm working hard on coming out of the world!"

Li Yaoshi was shocked and was about to ask in detail, but he saw two more coming.

One is Yang Xuangan, and the other is his "Brother Li Dibo".

Miao Chang ran over first and shouted, "Dad! Dad! We have caught a lot of grasshoppers, Dad, come and see!"

Yang Xuangan smiled and said, "Pharmacist, Xuanqing, why are you all here? Pharmacist, I'll introduce you to you. This is Duke Tang."

Li Yaoshi had no choice but to step forward and bow to see him: "Sanyuan Li Yaoshi, pay homage to Duke Tang."

Li Yuan never expected to meet Li Yaoshi here. He was shocked and suspicious, but his face did not show his expression and said, "Good to know, lucky to know, don't give a big gift."

Yang Xuangan said to Li Yuan: "Brother Li, the pharmacist is the son of the prefect of Li in Zhao County and the nephew of Lord Han of Shangzhu Kingdom."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "It turns out that he was the general Shizhou who was disrespectful and disrespectful."

Yang Xuangan said again: "By the way, the ancestral home of the Medicine Master is Longxi, and he and Brother Li are of the same clan."

Li Yuan seemed a little surprised: "It turns out that he is his own person, so he has to bother Brother Yang to introduce him."

Yang Xuangan smiled and said, "Don't say much now. We are waiting for the meal to start. Please go to the meal first. What are you saying? Let's talk about it after you finish your drink!"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "That's right."

He lowered his head and asked Miaochang again: "Miaochang, are you following your father or your mother?"

Miaochang acted coquettishly and said, "Miaochang must follow the world."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Well, just play here, don't be tired of Sister Xiu!"

Miao Chang cheered and found out again.

On this side, Li Yuan and Yang Xuangan went to the front hall to enter the seat, while Li Yaoshi and Yang Xuanqing walked hand in hand toward the inner palace.

Yang Xuanqing said as he walked, "Pharmacist, if you are attracted by it, don't hide it from me."

Just now, Li Yaoshi heard Yang Xuanqing say, "Those who think about coming out of the mountains are working hard on coming out of the world." He also heard Li Yuan's repeated warnings from Miaochang, "Don't be tired of coming out of the mountains," and he already knew the key points in his heart.

He was an extremely intelligent person, and he had already had some conspiracy for a while, so he said, "Don't guess, I'll find out that Xiu has something else."

He actually took a dangerous move and decided to tell Yang Xuanqing about the matter of entrusting the matter.

Yang Xuanqing was shocked when he heard this: "Is there such a thing? Why did she entrust such a big thing to you?"

Li Yaoshi said: "This matter is a long story, let's talk about it after drinking! We are not as close as others. Apart from you, I have never even mentioned this by my own brother."

When Yang Xuanqing saw that Li Yaoshi valued him, he was overjoyed and pointed at the sky as a mantra and vowed not to reveal the matter.

The two came to the inner palace and each attended the seat.

***************************

At the end of the birthday party, Yang Xuanqing was busy seeing off the guests on behalf of his mother and had no time to ask Li Yaoshi about the incident.

However, Li Yaoshi understood that Yang Xuanqing was anxious to know the reason for this matter, so he would come to ask him in a few days, so he only waited for news at home.

As expected, within three days, the Yang family sent servants to invite Li Yaoshi, saying that the four young masters wanted to repay him for his hard work over the past few days.

Yang Xuangan had already been named Yitong at this time, and Yang Xuanhui was already the Duke of Qinghe County.

Li Yaoshi had no official position and was young, so he and the two of them just sat with him for a while and left immediately.

After Yan Drinking, Yang Xuanci also asked to leave, and Li Yaoshi was able to tell Yang Xuanqing about Princess Lechang in detail.

Yang Xuanqing is also a smart person. He has been thinking about this matter over the past few days. At this time, he smiled and said, "Pharmacist, you will tell me about this matter. I guess you have asked me for it?"

Li Yaoshi got up after leaving the table, smiled and bowed to Yang Xuanqing, and said, "My brother is indeed a clever. I can't hide my brother's worries from me. Since that's the case, I'm just talking straight. I really want to ask my brother for help."

Yang Xuanqing pulled him down and smiled and said, "Pharmacist, don't do this like this, my brother, I'm so awkward. What can I help? Just tell me quickly!"

Li Yaoshi smiled and said, "This matter is very simple. Xuanqing, you think, after the birthday party, I will not be able to go to and from the palace often. How do I contact the matter of selling mirrors?"

Yang Xuanqing smiled and said, "I understand. But..." He changed his teasing expression: "Pharmacist, do you want me to be the double carp that passes on Sushu, or the black magpies that cross the Tianhe River?"

Li Yaoshi smiled and said, "This is because I ask you for everything. It's just that the magpie has built a magpie bridge, but it's a little bit of bald feathers; the pair of carp passed through the plain books and they were cooked and eaten!"

Yang Xuanqing couldn't help laughing: "How many bald feathers can be reborn in new feathers; if they are cooked and eaten, there will be no more time to turn over! Well, the so-called "benefit without paying, and work without complaining." A gentleman has the beauty of becoming a man, so why should I be stingy with how many feathers? But..." He stared at Li Yaoshi and teased: "Why do you thank me after the matter is done?"

Li Yaoshi smiled and said, "No need to wait until things are done, I will let you have the sweetness first. The master likes tea and has given you a few cakes of good tea. Do you want to taste it?"

Yang Xuanqing said: "Tea drink?"

He changed his mind a little and figured out what Master Li wanted and smiled and said, "Good idea, let's do it like this."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Tea trees were not grown in the north. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the scholars and officials of the Northern Dynasties were accustomed to drinking cow milk and the butterfly made from goat milk. Only the Southern Dynasties paid attention to drinking tea.

Yang Xuanzhi of the Northern Wei Dynasty wrote "The Record of Jialan in Luoyang", two interesting stories represent the impression of the scholars and officials of the Northern Dynasty at that time on tea drinking.

Officials from the Northern Dynasties went on missions to the Southern Dynasties, and they drank tea and drank to entertain distinguished guests.

Officials in the Northern Dynasties drank the soup and felt unhappy, and called this incident a "water disaster".

Another interesting story records that officials from the Southern Dynasties surrendered to the Northern Dynasties and could not get used to the food in the North, and still "eat crucian carp soup and drink tea juice thirsty".

The scholars and officials of the Northern Dynasties described his belly as a container that was always unsatisfied, and jokingly called him "Liaozi", which was a pot of ancient utensils.

Northerners also find that the tea soup is light and tasteless and cannot be compared with butterflies, so they call tea "cheese slaves".

However, after Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty implemented the sinicization, cultural exchanges between the north and the south became increasingly frequent, and tea gradually spread to the Northern Dynasties.

Butterfly represents the Hu culture, and tea represents the Han culture.

Yang Jian ruled the world as a Han Chinese, and the style of tea drinking gradually became accepted by scholars and officials in the early Sui Dynasty.

Because tea in the north is rare and rare, tea drinks have become popular among the nobles.
