Li Yue looked at the title on the wooden board and the two drawn illustrations, frowned, and began to count.
The climate after autumn is a bit dry.
The day was as usual. Zhang Yang saw a notice on the street, which said about the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival was coming, and His Majesty had ordered to cancel the curfew for one day.
Chang'an City has always had a curfew.
During every Chinese New Year and holiday, the curfew is also temporarily lifted.
It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival.
This is a day to eat mooncakes.
Zhang Yang went to the street and bought some red beans.
Li Yue washed the red beans and said, "What are we going to do?"
Zhang Yang said: "Of course it's mooncakes."
Li Yue asked curiously: "Mooncakes? Do you still make this?"
Zhang Yang grinned and said, "I made it myself when I was a kid."
While kneading the dough skillfully, Zhang Yang said to Li Yue: "Soak the red beans first."
"Um!"
Li Yue rolled up her sleeves and started working.
In the palace, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and the court has begun to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
A group of royal family members were invited by Li Shimin to the Tai Chi Hall.
In the Hall of Wude, the current Supreme Emperor was playing cards with several eunuchs, and was in high spirits at the moment.
Li Chengqian stood aside and said: "Grandpa Huang, everyone has arrived at Tai Chi Hall, and the time has come."
Li Yuan held the cards in his hand and said, "What's the rush? Wait until I finish playing."
The three eunuchs trembled with the cards in their hands.
One of the old eunuchs trembled and played a Zhang Er.
"Um?!"
Li Yuan stared, his old face suddenly darkened.
The old eunuch quickly took back the two he had just played, "Old slave, I played the wrong card. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
After saying that, he took out a five.
Li Yuan's expression softened and he played a six, saying in a low voice: "I'm done."
Putting away the cards on the table, Li Yuan said: "They say you will have no regrets when you make a move, you guys must also have no regrets when you play your cards, do you understand?"
The two eunuchs smiled and nodded vigorously.
After sorting out the cards, Li Yuan said: "Come again!"
Are you coming again? Li Chengqian felt like crying. He stood aside and said anxiously: "Grandpa Huang, what time is it?"
Li Yuan sneered: "What's the rush?"
Playing cards is a very good game, and now Li Yuan doesn't lose his temper, doesn't break things, and doesn't complain.
The Supreme Emperor was obsessed with playing cards all day long, and sometimes he would play cards all day and all night without sleeping.
Everyone was surprised to find that the Emperor's temper was much better than before.
The Tai Chi Hall was very lively, and the tables were full of officials.
Li Shimin looked at everyone with a smile, but there was only one empty seat.
That is the position of the Supreme Emperor.
I asked Cheng Qian to invite him for so long but he still hasn’t come.
A young eunuch hurriedly came to report and said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is still playing cards. The Prince is trying to persuade him but refuses to come."
Li Shimin let out a long sigh, "Forget it, let Cheng Qian come back."
"Here."
On the other side of the palace, as the hostess of the harem, Empress Changsun also entertained the female relatives of various princes and ministers.
Empress Changsun ordered the soap to be cut into pieces and distributed to the ladies.
They were curious about the small piece of jade-like substance in their hands.
They all discussed in low voices.
This thing actually still has a scent.
Women all like scented things, so soap is also very rare.
Queen Changsun said to everyone: "This thing is called soap. It was made by Qingque. We are finally able to move around, so I want to share it with you."
The thing is a rare thing that no one has ever seen.
Things with fragrance are also good things.
This also shows that Queen Changsun is generous.
Queen Changsun continued: "This thing can be used for bathing, washing hands and face, and leaving a lingering fragrance after washing."
After speaking, there was another discussion below.
There are a group of men in Tai Chi Hall, and a group of women standing in front of Li Zheng Hall.
The man is responsible for Li Shimin to win over, and the woman is responsible for letting Empress Changsun take care of her.
The bright moonlight shines on the entire city of Chang'an.
Zhang Yang and Li Yue were sitting in the yard, looking up at the bright moonlight in the night sky.
There will be no questions or clothes tonight.
The two of them did nothing and sat quietly in the yard.
After taking a mouthful of mooncakes filled with red bean paste, Li Yue took another sip of wine, with enjoyment on her face.
Zhang Yang looked at the bright moon in the night sky. No matter how many thousands of years passed, the moon would remain unchanged.
The night wind was a bit cold, so Zhang Yang put a coat on Li Yue and said, "Although your body will be warm while drinking wine, don't catch a cold."
Li Yue smiled and nodded.
Mooncakes filled with red bean paste have completely conquered Li Yue. As expected, girls throughout the ages have not had much resistance to desserts.
One night passed, and there was a knock on the door of Wei King Li Tai's mansion.
Li Tai, who slept until morning, was woken up by the servants at home.
The attendant stood aside and said: "Your Highness, King Wei, wake up quickly."
Li Tai still closed his eyes and murmured, "What's wrong?"
The attendant said: "There is someone outside who wants to see His Highness the King of Wei."
Li Tai turned over and said, "No."
After another half an hour, the attendant walked into Li Tai's bedroom again and said, "His Royal Highness, there is someone outside again."
Li Tai whispered: "No."
"..."
Another hour passed, and people gathered in front of Prince Wei's residence.
This time the attendant came to Li Tai's bedroom in a panic and said, "Your Highness, King Wei, it's not good."
Once or twice forget it.
Why are you here again?
Ten-year-old Li Tai sat up on the bed and said angrily: "You have disturbed my sleep over and over again, do you not want to live anymore?"
The attendant knelt on the ground with a thud, "Your Highness, King Wei, there are...there are many people outside."
With a disappointed look on his face, Li Tai got up and put on his clothes and asked, "Are there many people outside?"
The attendant nodded.
Xin said that he has been quite honest during this period and has not caused any trouble.
After getting dressed, Li Tai asked again: "What are they doing here?"
The attendant whispered: "I came to buy soap."
"Buy soap?"
Li Tai had a look in his eyes, quickly washed up and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The attendant said with a bitter face: "I want to say it, but your highness..."
Li Tai walked out of the room and warned: "Such things should be discussed earlier in the future."
"I understand, villain."
The attendant looked aggrieved. His Highness, King Wei, would not have kicked the villain out. Thinking of the consequences, the attendant sniffed and wanted to cry.
Li Tai walked to his yard and took out a box of soap that he had made a long time ago. These soaps have chrysanthemum scent, mint scent, peony scent, and some unnamed scents.
Even Li Tai himself couldn't remember what was added to these soaps. Zhang Yang said to boldly let go of your imagination.
There was the noise of people outside the mansion door.
It seems that Zhang Yang is right. After you have target customers first, business will naturally start.
