The Palace of Peach and Plum

Chapter 6:

There are restrictions on these mansions with different official positions and different titles. But this has nothing to do with the size, but with the building.

If you have money, even a businessman can buy a large piece of land to build a house.

What I said above is just to show that when Li Yin bought the earl’s mansion next door, he really wanted to flatten all the buildings, and then he started to practice martial arts…

Therefore, the training grounds and other schools seem to be more high-end.

Of course, Ling Wei could not understand this kind of thinking.

Li Ying had already stepped into the door, and Ling Wei quickly followed in.

As Ling Wei is lucky, Li Ying has not had time to demolish the house. If it is completely demolished and the martial arts field is already being built, Ling Wei will have to build his own house.

He didn’t have that much money, so he had to ask the princess and his eldest brother would be making trouble again.

The Earls Mansion was originally embezzled because of corruption (of course, this is just one of the handles), so the buildings, gardens, furniture, and so on, are all very magnificent. Although all the furnishings and other items have been auctioned off, some things left in the house can still be seen how exquisite the owner of this mansion lived.

Just looking at the way Li Yin frowned, he obviously didn’t appreciate the taste of the mansion owner.

Ling Wei was very satisfied.

Perhaps what is more satisfying after the crossing than before the crossing is that the house is bigger. These courtyards, which come in and out, also have their own gardens, which are simply beautiful. Fortunately, he has the identity of a feudal lord who oppresses the toiling masses after he crossed. If he crossed to the bottom of the people, the days would be too sad.

“The contents inside can be changed at will, and the Ministry of Industry will send someone to change the over-commitment area.” Li Ying kindly took Ling Wei around, and then summoned the Ministry of Industry officials who had been waiting for Ling Wei to get to know him. .

Although Ling Wei did not have an official position, he was the youngest son of Lord Lu and Princess Changle, and he was loved by the emperor. The officials of the Ministry of Industry treated Ling Wei respectfully.

It’s just that even if Ling Wei has a good memory, he doesn’t know anything about architecture. In the end, he only talked about the approximate effect he wanted, and then let go.

It’s good to have a house, but it’s so beautiful to have a big house and a beautiful garden. If you want to rebuild or something, leave it to a dedicated person.

The Ministry of Industry official looked at Ling Wei’s good-talking look, and he was also relieved.

Like helping to build a garden or something, although there are oil and water, but the status is really not high, especially when encountering some honorable people, there are many picky people who are screaming and drinking. In the end, if it is not built well, it offends people. Although I had heard that the youngest princess Changle was kind and humorous, and didn’t have the nostrils like ordinary nobles, the official had never seen a real person, so naturally his heart was still empty.

Although Li Ying looked cold on the surface, in fact he seemed to have a good temper. He even accompanied Ling Wei to finish all the trivial matters, and the sun was leaning to the west.

Ling Wei naturally thanked him in every possible way. Suddenly he patted his forehead and said annoyed: “Speaking of rebuilding the other courtyard, but Xiaomin still has no money! Is it necessary to reach out to the princess?!”

The princess? What is this name… Li Yin thought to himself, he really came back from overseas, even the name is unique.

“Princess Changle has already entrusted someone to bring it to the emperor brother. You just use it.” Li Yin explained, “not only the cost of the renovation, but also the other furnishings and furnishings. Princess Changle will know it. There are arrangements.”

“How much is that?” Ling Wei bowed his head, “Even if the princess has money and spends such a large amount of money to build a yard for Xiaomin, Dad and Brother will definitely scold Xiaomin. Or else… forget it. ?”

“This is from the emperor’s brother.” Li Yin reminded. Although he bought it, Li Li said that as a gift, it was bestowed by the imperial court. Even Duke Lu and the son of Duke Lu did not dare to say no. The courtyard of the godsend is not to be well repaired. But it was given to Ling Wei to live first.

Regardless of the facts, this is the truth that is shown to outsiders. Even if Duke Lu and the first son of Duke Lu were dissatisfied, they did not dare to show it.

Ling Wei sighed. I always feel that some people dare not go back, what should I do? Although he is not afraid of his eldest brother’s cold words, he is indeed very irritable.

Li Yin probably understood what Ling Wei was worried about, but he was not easy to talk about other people’s family matters. He waited for Ling Wei to finish the trivial matters. Naturally, he was not really passionate about the old ways, but the chatting was fun when he entered the palace. Now I saw the other courtyard, and the official from the Ministry of Industry who was in charge of repairing the yard also saw him. He took Ling Wei and said that at first sight, he wanted to invite him to dinner and continue chatting.

Ling Wei happened to not want to go back early to make people feel uncomfortable, so he readily agreed.

Li Ying decided on the position of a good restaurant, and made up his mind to talk more with Ling Wei. Only when the food was complete, Li Yin ate meat and drank, only to find that Ling Wei was lacking and ate very little.

“But the wine and food are not to your appetite?” Li Ying asked.

Ling Wei is good at observing words and colors, but I don’t know that Li Ying didn’t ask him how the wine and food taste, but rather dissatisfied with his twitchy eating, which made people unhappy to watch. Li Ying has been in the military camp all year round, and his natural behavior is a bit bolder than ordinary people. His movements are elegant or reserved in the eyes of scholars, but soft and contrived in Li Ying’s eyes.

Forgive me, Ling Wei is really because the food is not appetizing.

Since history has been different since the Han Dynasty, there is no such thing as the Three Kingdoms and Five Random China. The history and direction of this China are different from those experienced by Ling Wei.

In terms of time, it is almost the same as in the early Tang Dynasty. It’s just that the political system and the social system have blended some of Song Ming’s things, such as the mature imperial examination system and Yan Jin’s six departments. In terms of technological development and living standards, they are similar to those of the Tang Dynasty.

However, the development of the countries surrounding Yan Dynasty did not seem to have changed much. There was still Turk in the north, Tubo in the west, Goryeo in the east, and Nanshao in the south.

However, Yan Chao’s military capabilities are also very strong. The Turks have been beaten by Li Yin and he dared not to violate the border again. Li Yin was called back to the capital to rectify the military affairs in Beijing.

However, this standard of living is indeed similar to that of the Tang Dynasty. For example, the cooking method of frying and frying is not common nowadays, and more are all kinds of stewed and grilled. There are not many condiments, like peppers are still in the American continent, and peppers are still used as spices. As for other condiments, some are only sold in pharmacies.

Although there are various sauces, it is really not a taste to eat in Ling Wei’s mouth.

Although it is pretty good to eat the original flavor at the beginning, but it is all the original flavor, and I am tired of eating it. Although Ling Wei is not a heavy taster, he is used to eating all kinds of delicate flavors. This cooked thing is dipped in various sauces, and it is really tasteless to chew.

Ling Wei is not a particularly picky eater, although the food is not appetizing, but he is full with every meal. It’s just that compared to Li Ying’s cheerful way of eating, he always seemed a little reluctant.

And Ling Wei didn’t like drinking and tea anymore.

Yan Chao’s winemaking skills are similar to those of the Tang Dynasty. Do you know “Green Ant New Brew”? Talking about the wine of the Tang Dynasty, the liquor is turbid. Even if Ling Wei is not a good wine, even a low-end wine like Erguotou Jiang Xiaobai is definitely much better than this wine—at least, there is no turbid sediment at the bottom of the cup.

As for tea, I can’t get used to it. Yan Chao’s tea is still group tea, which is boiled and drunk with various things. Drinking it in Ling Wei’s mouth, it is not drinking tea, but drinking Chinese medicine, or Chinese medicine with strange things added!

Even foreign teas are just milk, sugar and chocolate. Yan Chao’s tea, salt will definitely be added, and there are also some onion, ginger, garlic, cheese and even meat fat… The first time Ling Wei drank it, he couldn’t bear it. Stop vomiting!

What the **** is this? Even if you add something, whether it is a foreign milk tea or Mongolian butter tea, it will taste a lot better than this! What mess is added to it, can I still drink it? Is this still tea? Shouldn’t Hua Guo’s tea be fresh and elegant?

Then Ling Wei didn’t want to drink tea anymore, he only drank white water…

Obviously, he only drank white water and was misunderstood as a scholar’s nobility.

Noble ghost, he just can’t drink…

Faced with Li Yin’s misunderstanding, Ling Wei was embarrassed to say that after two or three years, he is still not used to eating and drinking, right? So I can only swallow the misunderstanding silently. Think of him as a scholar of tortoise hair…

Fortunately, Li Yin doesn’t have much prejudice against scholars, but his living habits are different, so he doesn’t force it. Although Ling Wei was not very outspoken in eating and drinking, he did not show any other uncomfortable expressions in the face of Li Yin’s unruly eating. Li Yin felt that even if Ling Wei had the habit of a scholar, he was always different from a nerd.

In order to restore his favorability, Ling Wei tried his best to flicker, making Li Qian a confidant. He once again remembered the idea of digging Ling Wei into the barracks to do something, and brought it up.

Ling Wei took a sip of white water, suppressed the taste of salty sauce in his mouth, and smiled and said, “Thank you, the lord, but the lord, do you know what is on paper?”

Li Yin thoughtfully.

“Xiaomin knows so many things, not because Xiaomin is really a military wizard, but because he has seen a lot. When Xiaomin wandered around with Master, Master deliberately collected this information and asked him to remember Live. Xiaomin didn’t know the meaning of Master’s doing this. Now I want to come. Master hopes that I will bring as much overseas news as possible to Yan Chao. What Xiaomin understands is only a drop in the bucket, but after all, there are strange people in the DPRK. For example, the prince is. The prince listened to Xiaomin’s words, and if he has an insight, it is the master’s wish.” Ling Wei paused, and continued, “For Xiaomin himself, he actually doesn’t understand military affairs. The prince can also know by listening that what Xiaomin says is something he has seen before, and he didn’t think of it himself. Don’t say that Xiaomin himself can’t think of any good ideas, even if he uses the knowledge he knows to arrange troops. The formation is probably a mess.”

“Xiaomin wants to take a shortcut, go to the sky in one step, and serve in the army. It is best to make some credit. Anyway, with the appearance of Xiaomin’s weak culture, it is probably to make suggestions behind the scenes. There will be no danger, why not? But? Major events in the military are not a trifling matter. If the military planes are delayed or the strategy is wrong, many good elders in the military will be killed.

Li Yin sighed: “Jintang has humbled himself. It is the king Menglang.”

Ling Wei nodded. With my covetous temperament, I still feel a little uncomfortable living in the capital. I just go to the army to find hardship. Is it sick? Just forget about making meritorious deeds. He will quietly brush up on the emperor, queen, prince, and princess’s favorability, and just be a comfortable leisure minister.
