Chapter 8 Zhang Hao is in action, do what he likes
Chapter 8 Zhang Hao is in action and serve his preferences
Recently, Fang Xuanling’s Fang’s house has been very lively because Fang Xuanling is about to celebrate her fifty birthday, and there are endless guests entering and leaving the Fang’s house.
Visited in advance, and many gifts were given.
Li Bai and Chongzhen received an invitation from the Fang Mansion.
A few days before the birthday, Li Bai brought Zhang Hao and several servants in charge of transporting things to Fang Mansion.
Send some to Fang Mansion in advance.
"It turns out it's Brother Sun Bai. I have long admired Daming. I like your poems very much!"
Fang Xuanling was not at home, and Fang Yiai received Li Bai and Zhang Hao.
"Brother Fang is raising me."
"This is my sixth brother Sun Hao. He has made some new things and specially sent them as a gift for the Prime Minister's birthday. I hope he doesn't dislike it."
Fang Yiai didn't care much at the beginning. There were too many people giving gifts these days, and they basically wanted to flatter the Fang family, because Fang Xuanling was the prime minister and the left minister, equivalent to the chief minister.
There are too many people who want to curry favor with Fang Xuanling's fiftieth birthday, so many people are taking action.
Zhang Hao also wanted to establish some relationship with the Fang family to facilitate his future work.
"My father has a word first, so he should not accept gifts from others casually, so..."
Fang Yiai looked apologetic and refused.
Zhang Hao hurriedly said, "It's just some expensive things, wine, mirrors, cups, etc. Brother Fang can take a look first before making a decision."
Wine, mirror, cup?
Fang Yiai was surprised. Unexpectedly, Zhang Hao gave these things, and he was a little unhappy.
Others give money, ink and treasures, antique calligraphy and paintings, you can give wine, mirrors, cups, who is so cold!
Fang Yiai was holding her breath and thought that after seeing it, she would drive the two of them away without any accidents.
Zhang Hao asked someone to bring a bottle of wine, a mirror, and a cup.
"this……"
The first thing I saw was the wine, but the bottle was made of glass, which was transparent and unique, extremely novel, and was eye-catching.
There is a paper sticking on the wine bottle, with the words "Tangren Wine" on it!
Generally, wine bottles are made of ceramics, and there are many exquisite ones, but compared with the novel and beautiful glass wine bottles in front of you, they are completely faded!
"I haven't seen this bottle before, is it really wine inside?"
Fang Yiai expressed her doubts.
Zhang Hao smiled and took off the bottle plug, and a strong aroma of wine drifted away.
"Scent, what a pure wine fragrance!"
Fang Yiai likes to taste wine, and his eyes lit up.
Zhang Hao took the opportunity to get a needle, took out the wine glass, poured out half a glass of wine: "Brother Fang, try it first."
Fang Yiai stared at the glass of wine curiously. The glass was small and transparent, like a gem.
I took the wine glass and looked at it for a while, then smelled the wine. It smelled so good. I took it to my mouth, took a sip, and immediately looked shocked.
Strong, mellow!
This was the first time Fang Yiai had drunk such a strong and mellow wine, and she couldn't help but scream: "Good wine!"
Then I slowly tasted the wine in the glass, and then I still felt unsatisfied.
Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Brother Fang thinks this kind of good wine is used to entertain guests for the Prime Minister?"
OK!
It will definitely surprise all guests and satisfy the old man!
I don’t want to refuse this gift room, and I’m afraid I can’t buy it.
After thinking about it, I decided to decide my subordinates: "Brother Sun Hao is intent, thank you."
Zhang Hao was kind, then pointed to the wine glass and said, "There are also many such wine glasses, and it is just right to pair them with good wine."
Fang Yiai couldn't help but nodded, not refusing.
Then Zhang Hao took out a mirror, "This is a new type of mirror, and the figures reflected are clearly visible."
After saying that, he faced Fang Yiai with the mirror.
Fang Yiai was shocked when she saw herself clearly in the mirror. How could there be such a clear mirror? Those bronze mirrors were smooth, and the figures that were reflected could not be so bright and clearly visible!
"This thing is not a bronze mirror, right?"
I can't tell what material it was made of for a while.
Zhang Hao nodded: "Made of special materials, it's just a small gift."
Wine, wine glass, mirror!
It sounds very ordinary, a bit sour, and it is a small gift.
But Fang Yiai understands that these novel things are definitely not so good.
However, it is precisely because it is a novel thing that is difficult to measure value, and it will not be inappropriate to accept it.
I believe women at home will definitely like this kind of mirror, men at home like it, and glasses are beautiful and novel, and everyone will also like it.
It was a matter of negotiation with everyone in the Fang Mansion that this gift was given with great care.
The gift room Yiai accepted it, and his attitude towards Zhang Hao and Li Bai became enthusiastic.
"Brother Fang, I have made these new things and are planning to come to a store in Chang'an City. When Brother Fang is free, please support me."
Depending on the time being, Zhang Hao explained his intention. It would be better to say this kind of thing.
Fang Yiai was obviously relieved and understood what Zhang Hao meant. It took some relationship to do business in Chang'an City, but this was a trivial matter for Fang Yiai: "Brother Sun Hao wants to do some business, no problem. As long as it does not violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, I will support you."
Li Bai smiled beside him, and admired Zhang Hao's methods in his heart.
Fang Yiai was about to keep them for dinner, but Zhang Hao and Li Bai declined.
After Zhang Hao and the others left, Fang Yiai took a set of mirrors and wine glasses to his mother's yard and gave them to his mother.
"Sun Bai? I'm thinking quietly at night, looking at Sun Bai who is in the waterfall of Mount Lu?"
"Did his sixth brother do these novelties? If you want to do some business in Chang'an City, do you need some care?"
Understanding the process, my mother did not blame Fang Yiai, but instead felt that he was properly dealing with it.
"These novelties, especially this mirror, are very good. Remember to give some to each room so that you won't be gossiped about."
Fang Xuanling has more than one wife, several wives and concubines, and several children. Fang Yiai is the eldest son.
Fang Xuanling returned home in the evening and found out about this, he felt a little funny: "The six brothers of the Sun family are not simple. They first pleased the emperor, but now they come to me again. It's really interesting."
Although I don’t care much about this matter, I still reminded Fang Yiai not to involve too much, let alone violate the law.
"Good wine!"
"Huh? Why are you familiar with it?"
Fang Xuanling accidentally tasted it again.
That's right, I drank this kind of wine a few days ago. Emperor Taizong of Tang invited him and Du Rumei and some ministers to drink it.
"Care to do things!"
"I guess the Du family will have it too!"
It turned out that Li Bai had already given wine, mirrors, cups and other things to Emperor Taizong of Tang first. No wonder Fang Xuanling could have drunk it before.
This morning, Zhang Hao and Li Bai also visited Du Rumei's mansion, delivered almost the same thing, and then arrived at Fang Mansion in the afternoon.
The emperor first gave it to him, and then Du Rumei was the chief examiner of Li Bai's imperial examination, which was equivalent to Li Bai's disciple. He gave Du Rumei first and Fang Xuanling. This is what it should be, and no one can say anything.
"Your Majesty and the Du family also have this kind of wine?"
Fang Yiai was surprised, and then suddenly realized: "Yes. If someone knows that we have this kind of thing first, how can His Majesty and the Du family get along well, they have planned it in advance."
Fang Xuanling nodded: "Yes. That's why I said that the six brothers of the Sun family are not simple. I heard that Sun Fei, who is in the army, is very talented in leading the army and has already received the attention of Li Jing.
Sun Bai's poems are great, Sun Zhen has talent for governing the country, Sun Fei has talent for generals, Sun Liang has talent for business, and the rest, Sun Qi has great martial arts, but he has no intention of joining the army. Sun Liang is knowledgeable, but he is willing to be a teacher... I really don't know where the six of them will go in the future?"
Is it so powerful?
Fang Yiai didn't believe it very much and thought he would not be worse than them.
