Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 485 Gossip
The windows on the side of the waterside pavilion facing the lake are all open, and the breeze is blowing, blowing the light gauze.

The thin smoke in the incense burner curls up, changing various postures with the wind.

Amidst the joy, Su Yue's voice was soft and hearty, and when he talked about interesting things, the emperor laughed constantly, and when he talked about some knowledge, the emperor frowned slightly.

What Su Yue said didn't have any coherence and logic, she just thought about it and talked about it.

When talking about the interesting things about making tea, I will talk about the scenery in the south, and the scenery in the north, and then I will say a few words about my knowledge.

She said that she went to the north and saw the scenery in the north. It was very beautiful, but it was also very cold, and the road was very difficult. The carriage she took was very good, and she could only walk a dozen miles a day.

She said that she saw a team transporting grain on the road. Those people were so pitiful. In such a cold weather, the mule carts were stuck in the snow. Many people took off their shirts and were bare-armed to drag those carts. Those people said, If the food is not sent over, many people will die in the army at the border, and their homes will not be able to defend.

She said that the weather this year is good, and the quality of the tea produced is very good, and because the tea is lush and green, the output is also large. She also specially made more varieties, thinking that this year's tea farmers should have a better life.

From the mountains in the north to the flowing water in the south, from the Fujian tea gardens to Longjing and Biluochun, and then to the spring in the south of the Yangtze River and the lotus in Hangzhou, Su Yue laughed and said that she went to Beijing from the south of the Yangtze River At that time, I saw tank boats on the road, and there were many of them, one after another. Fortunately, there were no other boats on the road. Otherwise, the river would have been blocked, and she would have to spend more than ten days at night Arrived in Beijing.

"So, that's really fortunate." The emperor nodded in agreement after hearing this, and said, "Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't arrive until after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

This mid-autumn festival is a day for family reunion. In fact, his mother, wife and children are all there, but the night before, when he saw the gradually rounding moon, he couldn't help thinking of Su Yue.

He thought of the girl who would only make him feel warm together.

No matter how ignorant he is of common affairs and scheming, he is a child of the royal family after all. He has seen too much since he was a child, and he has been deeply victimized by those conspiracies. People from Concubine De's palace came to report the day before yesterday, saying that Su Zhaorong's prince was calling every day to ask him to go to the Leng Palace to see what it meant to be a commoner Su (now degraded as a commoner).

Although Kang Wang is very affectionate and friendly now, but Governor Chen returned so forcefully, and someone came to him privately and said that Kang Wang donated food. To guess his mind, but what the person behind this represents, he also knows a little bit.

It was those women in the harem who looked like they were wearing masks now, and the deep meaning behind that made him shudder.

Only Yue'er, only his Yue'er, has always been thinking of him...

Only when he is with Yue'er can he be completely at ease, without having to learn to guess what is behind those words.

It's really great that she can come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Su Yue raised her eyes and glanced at the emperor, seeing the sincere and loving smile on his face, her heart trembled, she thought for a moment and then smiled: "Yes, I could have come back one day earlier, but I met you on the road Governor Chen's family, their boat is so big, they heard that it came directly from the Yangtze River, and they were in a hurry, so they let all the boats ahead give way, so our boat stopped in Shangqiu overnight. "

"Governor Chen?" The emperor frowned unconsciously, and displeasure flashed across his eyes.

Governor Chen is only a second-rank foreign official, but he actually forced Su Yue to make way?

"Yes, I heard that it was the Governor of Shu Prefecture, and it was he and His Highness Kang Wang who donated food, so no one died of starvation in the capital." Su Yue said with a full face of admiration.

The emperor snorted softly and said, "You can't say it's an offering, but Liu Qi bought a load of four strings and bought it for the imperial court."

Although Liu Qi then sold it at twenty cents a liter all the way down to ten cents a liter, and when the price of grain was suppressed, he made several times more money, but how could he say he offered it?Dedication means free of charge, he still understands this!
"Really? Your Majesty is really benevolent!" Su Yue raised her thumbs up, and then said with a smile: "By the way, Your Majesty, speaking of the Chen family, Yue'er saw an interesting story in Shangqiu."

As he spoke, he learned with a smile how the Chen family's maid went to Shangqiu to buy clothes because she didn't have enough clothes, but she almost smashed the shop because the shop in Shangqiu didn't have this year's new crepe.

She was cute at first, and it was even more interesting to imitate the maid's appearance, pointing her eyes sideways with her hands on her hips and pointing at her. The emperor laughed and said, "This Chen family is also from the capital, but he went to Shuzhou to learn from the magistrate." It’s been almost 20 years since I started, and I think these maids are all found locally, so they don’t know what they mean.”

Su Yue also smiled and said: "Yes, I was really anxious to see that they were making new clothes. I happened to bring some on board, so when I returned the gift to Mrs. Chen, I specially sent four extra bolts of crepe."

(Tang Bing: Didn’t I deliver it for you?)

"Madam Chen's return gift?" the emperor asked.

She thought to herself, if Mrs. Chen knew how to return gifts, it meant that she didn't despise Su Yue, maybe she was really in a hurry.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty, our boat belongs to Lord Xie, under the banner of a third-rank official title." Su Yue smiled gratefully at the emperor, and continued: "Then Mrs. Chen knew about it, so she sent two A piece of Shu brocade came over, and I heard people say that although the Shu brocade was not very good, it was worth three or four taels of silver, and I thought it was embarrassing, so I sent her back twenty bolts of silk."

After finishing speaking, he heyed at the emperor again, with a playful smile in his honesty, as if I had money and could afford the ceremony.

The emperor couldn't help being amused by her appearance, he laughed twice, and then his face darkened slightly.

When he was the prince, although he didn't need to take care of the general affairs, but there were few people available in the palace, he would also look at some of the emperor's rewards and gifts.

Shu brocade is a rare and valuable item in the capital, but it is also divided into grades, and the gap between high and low grades is not small.

At that time, he was not favored, and the Shu brocade rewarded from the palace was much worse than that in other palaces.

He more or less knew the difference.

Mrs. Chen gave Su Yue two pieces of Shu brocade worth 40 taels of silver, not as a gift at all, but because she looked down on Xie Jue, a third-rank official, so she sent them to slap her face.

What I want is Su Yue's gift in return!
Although Su Yue only said it was Ling Luo, but with Xie Jue's family background, and looking at Su Yue's belongings, what Su Yue brought must be top-quality things, and these twenty horses are not a small amount.

Mrs. Chen dared to do this, it was Su Yue's status...

(Su Yue: Your Majesty, you think too much, I didn't give you the best Lingluo)
Glancing at the emperor's face, Su Yue took out a small bag from her sleeve.

The small bag contained scented tea that she added jasmine to. She made this tea for fun. The taste was naturally not as good as others, but its fragrance was very unique. Before she got off the carriage, she suddenly thought of , took a bag at hand.

Pour out the tea leaves in the small bag, and slowly pour hot water into it, Su Yue said with a smile: "Yue'er made this kind of tea for fun, Xie Ye said it doesn't taste very good, but it smells good, Your Majesty Try it too."

The emperor withdrew his wandering thoughts and said with a smile, "Yes, it smells delicious, Yue'er, how is Xie Jue treating you?"

There was a faint blush on Su Yue's face, and she said shyly: "Well, Xie Jue is very kind to Yue'er, Your Majesty, Yue'er also came to tell you today, Yue'er asked the master, and counted the day , Said to be married on September 22, Yue'er, think about that day."
