147、Talking about life

Jing Wen talked with the three new prime ministers and went back. Jing Wen’s main task now is to handle the affairs of the Young Master Association so that he can make the best use of those young masters. Anyway, the emperor supports this kind of matter, and the ministers don’t want to care about it, so they are all left to Jing Wen. Of course, Jing Wen has to organize these young masters well so that the emperor can be happy, and all the ministers are happy.

"Jing Wen, thank you!" Xiao Wei said.

"What do you thank me?" Jing Wen asked.

"My father has already said that he will most likely be able to sit firmly in the position of Zuo Pushe this time. Because Du Ruhui can also become the prime minister, and in this case, the emperor does not need to dismiss his father so anxiously. His father can be prime minister in the court for several years, so that our Xiao family can gain longer wealth." Xiao Wei said.

Because Du Ruhui was able to become the prime minister, the emperor did not need to worry too much about Xiao Yu. Because of this, Xiao Yu's position as prime minister was temporarily firm and he could be prime minister for a few more years. As the leader of a family, don't he just hope that his family can be strong and can be passed on with wealth?

"It's okay. If you really want to thank me, then go and have a tea, talk about life, and have ideals!" Jing Wen said casually.

"Talk about life? Talk about ideals? Thank you for your relationship with talking about ideals in life?" Xiao Wei asked in confusion.

Jing Wen was speechless. There was no so-called saying about life and ideals in this era. The so-called talking about life and ideals only happened after more than a thousand years, and he said this only if he had bad intentions towards women. Jing Wen just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't know what this sentence meant.

"Since you have asked, I'll treat you to tea!" Xiao Wei said.

After hearing Xiao Wei's words, Jing Wen immediately said: "What good tea does your Xiao family have? I also want to be arty and drink some high-end tea!"

Jingwen also wanted to see what this ancient tea was like. Later generations said that there were some classic teas in ancient times, but they were all lost later. Now that it is in ancient times, I naturally want to see what the lost tea tastes like. Although Jingwen may not be able to taste it, he also has the idea of ​​being arty!

"What other tea leaves can be there? They are just ordinary things." Xiao Wei said modestly.

"Is there any West Lake Longjing?" Jing Wen asked.

"Where is West Lake? What is Longjing? What tea is West Lake Longjing?" Xiao Wei asked in confusion.

"Well? West Lake is not famous yet? West Lake is not Longjing, either?" Jing Wen thought in a daze.

Jing Wen didn’t know that the West Lake in the Tang Dynasty was not a famous attraction at all, and it was not developed in the south, so it was still desolate! As for the West Lake, it sometimes dried up due to climate reasons, so where did the beautiful scenery of the West Lake come from! As for the West Lake Longjing, it was only found in the Qing Dynasty. How could the West Lake Longjing in the Tang Dynasty have been there?

"So are there any Tieguanyin, or Lu'an melon slices, or any Qimen black tea?" Jing Wen asked.

"I haven't heard of what you said before?" Xiao Wei asked.

"Forget it! Just have a pot of ordinary tea!" Jing Wen said.

Soon, Xiao Wei asked someone to go down to get tea, but it took a long time to get the tea.

"Why did it take so long?" Jing Wen asked.

"Of course the tea leaves have to be cooked, of course it's slow to cook tea?" Xiao Wei said.

"Cooking tea?" Jing Wen was a little confused.

Jing Wen looked at the tea soup poured out, but he smelled a strange smell.

"What kind of tea is this? Why are there anything else, ginger? Who said that tea should be replenished with ginger?" Jing Wen asked.

"Of course, who said that only tea leaves are available for cooking? We put fresh tea leaves in the pot and cook them with other ingredients, of course that's the case." Xiao Wei said.

Jing Wen finally understood that the tea in this era was still boiled. In the Tang Dynasty, there was no tea stir-frying technique at all, so he always drank tea and even added a lot of other seasonings, which became tea brewing. As for tea stir-frying, Jing Wen didn't know when it was found, but Jing Wen roughly knew the technique of tea stir-frying.

"Forget it, don't drink it!" Jing Wen said.

"Okay, let's talk about life!" Jing Wen said.

"Life? What's there to talk about?" Xiao Wei asked.

Jing Wen said very seriously: "Life is a very important topic. It is related to the birth and the emergence of human beings, so it is naturally a very important topic. This is related to the outlook on life!"

"It's like me, as long as I live happily, I have no other ideas. As for anything else, I don't care. From time to time, I invite a few beauties to go out for a trip. I can spend endless money and make me happy for a lifetime." Jing Wen said.

Xiao Wei sighed and said, "You are free and easy!"

"Can't you do it?" Jing Wen asked.

Xiao Wei explained: "How can we be that simple? The young ladies from high schools will probably have plans to be made as soon as they are born. From what age, they will learn something, and even make use of it every day. Some eldest sons are even worse because they will inherit their family business in the future, so they are controlled very strictly. As for other concubines, they have to learn various knowledge from a young age and help the family manage various industries. The ladies are better and do not have to bear so many heavy responsibilities. However, those ladies also have to learn knowledge from an early age, which is not necessarily inferior to the young ladies. In the future, these ladies from high schools will be used for marriage, either marriages among the gentry or to attract talents among ordinary people. Anyway, this is the case."

After hearing Xiao Wei's words, Jing Wen couldn't help but feel a little moved. Because many people envy those second-generation officials, but who can understand the lives of those real senior officials? They have been set up since childhood, and they probably have no chance to walk their own life path. In the future, they will take over the family business and then continue to develop their families. These are from generation to generation, and there is no other way to go. Only by continuing these paths and walking on this same path generation after generation.

"Fortunately I am not those gentry, otherwise I will be in trouble! If I were asked to hold those Confucian classics all day long, I would probably want to jump off the building!" Jing Wen thought to himself.
