The spring breeze picks up and everything revives.
The willow branches in the yard have sprouted buds, and the goose-yellow warmth reveals the freshness of spring.
The house has become a large construction site, and the construction team from the Ministry of Industry has already been stationed. In addition to building a brand new courtyard for the princess to live in after she gets married, several important buildings in the house are also being repaired and decorated at Fang Jun's request.
This includes the residences of Fang Xuanling, his wife and Fang Yizhi.
You can't make your own house beautiful and magnificent, but your father and eldest brother's residence is still the same as before, right?
Tian Wenyuan came to ask for instructions from time to time, keeping a low profile. This was not only because of Fang Xuanling or the emperor's relationship, but also because of his regard for Fang Jun. Ever since the Ministry of Industry took over the construction of Fang Mansion, Tian Wenyuan was at odds with Fang Jun.
Zhang Liang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, has never expressed rejection or resistance, let alone secretly stumbling upon him. Ever since Fang Jun "defeated" Jiangnan Confucian Wang Xue'an in Chongxian Hall, Zhang Liang has been even more hostile to Fang Mansion.
Turn a deaf ear to the matter, treat it like air and ignore it, and completely let Tian Wenyuan take responsibility.
He slapped a prince in the face, but he was already doing well and no one could do anything to him. Fang Jun's strength was already at the top level in the court. Tian Wenyuan was shocked and worked harder and harder. But Fang Jun
Whatever the requirements are, they will be completed perfectly. All the wood and building materials required for house construction are made of the best materials without exceeding the specified standards.
However, Fang Jun didn't have many thoughts about this new house.
He likes the antique Tang Yun and Tang style very much. In his previous life, he had dreamed of owning a house like that after he was released from the system. Now that it has come true, he will naturally not go to death to get any modern style...
…
*****
In the flower hall of Fangfu.
The wooden floor is clean and shiny, and the window is half open, letting in a gentle breeze.
Lu Dongzan sat upright on his knees on the floor, looking at a jar carved with fine flowers on the coffee table in front of him.
The lids of the jars are sealed with homemade thick rice paper. In the center of the rice paper is printed a large golden word "Fu". The gold color is a bit dim but very eye-catching. The four corners of the paper are ink-colored silhouettes of the Five Blessings. The bottom of the rice paper is covered with gold threads.
The rope was tightly wound, and the lid of the jar was tightly sealed with clay.
This is a jar of Huadiao wine from Jiangnan...
"Huadiao is different from the strong wine that northerners often drink. When drinking, you must warm the wine before drinking it. Only then can you relax, have a good taste, and appear elegant."
Fang Jun spoke slowly, while opening the mud seal on the jar, lifting it up with a straw, and poured it into a copper pot next to it. The fragrance of wine suddenly filled the air.
Lu Dongzan was slightly impressed.
The young man in front of him was dressed in a soap-colored straight suit. The fabric was made of ordinary kudzu, which was refreshing and breathable, not luxurious. But what he wore was clean and tidy, with a restrained nobility. He had clear and profound facial features and eyes.
Like a star, with haircut like a knife, a well-proportioned and strong body, wearing snow-white socks and sitting cross-legged on the floor mat, exuding a refreshing and natural temperament, even with such an extremely inelegant posture, it did not make her feel uncomfortable at all.
Lu Dongzan felt the slightest bit unhappy about being slighted.
Fast forward half a year, this young man not only made a name for himself among the scholars of the Tang Dynasty, but also became famous all over the world. His free and easy temperament became more charming and restrained, and the aggressiveness of the past had completely disappeared.
He will definitely be a troublesome person in the future...
Lu Dongzan thought with a sigh.
After all, the Tang Dynasty was a super empire with a vast territory and outstanding people, and a few outstanding talents would emerge at random. And the more outstanding a rising star like Fang Jun who has the ability, skills, and background is, the better it will be for Tubo. It's difficult...
The barren and cold Tubo not only lacked survival materials, but also lacked all kinds of talents. I am afraid this is the real gap between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty.
Fang Jun can be casual and comfortable in what he wears, but he is not stingy when it comes to life enjoyment. The mahogany bookcase, the sandalwood coffee table, and the coffee table are even decorated with finely carved tea trays. The purple sand in the tea tray or the dazzling white Xing Kiln white porcelain tea sets are even more noble and elegant.
The remaining wine on the outside of the copper pot made a squeaking sound as soon as it was placed on the stove burning briquettes, and soon there was a banging and drumming sound from the pot.
Fang Jun quickly took the wine pot from the stove, poured it over, and said in a pleasant tone: "Huadiao wine is brewed from Jiangnan white glutinous rice. It is rare and expensive. It must be rarely seen in Tubo. I hope you have a good taste today. This is an old wine sent by merchants from the south of the Yangtze River yesterday. Please taste it carefully."
As he spoke, a stream of brown wine juice flowed down the spout into the white porcelain wine glass in front of Lu Dongzan.
Fang Jun said sternly: "The aged wine does not seek sweetness, and the copper pot does not lose color." He glanced at Lu Dongzan and suddenly laughed again: "Haha, come on, the Prime Minister will have a taste first."
It is true that Lu Dongzan is from Tubo, but he is the prime minister of the country after all, and he definitely has a lot of experience. Although this Huadiao produced in the south of the Yangtze River is precious, it is not that he has never tasted it.
The thin and wrinkled old face smiled slightly, as if a chrysanthemum was blooming. Lu Dong praised with a smile: "That is Tuo Erlang's blessing, please!"
Lu Dongzan picked up the wine glass. The glass was crystal clear and as thin as a cicada's wing. The wine was warm, making the thin glass a little hot to the touch. He tried to take a small sip first. The wine was very mellow and a little sour and sweet. Then he took a big sip. When it went down, a hot, sticky and lingering juice flowed straight into the stomach.
“Good wine.”
Lu Dong praised it, and the warm wine went into his throat and slid smoothly into his abdomen, as if the coldness all over his body had been driven away.
Fang Jun laughed loudly and opened the lid of the copper pot, teasing: "Please take a look, Prime Minister, there are all good things in this."
Lu Dongzan curiously picked up the wine bottle and looked inside. It turned out that there were a few prunes, a few slices of ginseng, and even a few irregularly round things in it, which were deer penis...
No wonder this wine gives people a warm feeling all over their body when drinking it, it turns out it has added ingredients!
Lu Dongzan said with a wry smile: "The young hero Erlang is at the right age to whip up his whip and ride his horse across the bed. He should strengthen his foundation and cultivate his vitality and pay attention to health care. He is nearly half a century old and has run out of oil. With the support of such strong medicine, Wouldn’t it cost you your life?”
He said it politely on his face, but he was scolding him secretly in his heart!
I thought this kid had made some progress, but unexpectedly he was still as generous as ever, with a narrow-minded mind that even the old man wanted to tease...
After drinking this Huadiao wine with added ingredients, the fire still rises, and the mind wanders?
If you immediately go to Pingkangfang to find a girl and have fun, you might be laughed at by this guy...
This little bastard is such a loser!
Fang Jun said with a smile: "Don't worry, Prime Minister. This wine is tame. Although a few seasonings are added, it only adds a bit of fun. The south is different from the north. Drinking too strong wine will cause too much heat and the poisonous gas will not escape easily." It is emitted in the body, so you must drink some wine brewed from glutinous rice. When it is cold, you must prepare a few jars of this good wine at home. When guests come, put down a few small pots and drink while simmering. That is the mood. "
Lu Dongzan shook his head and said: "It's spring now. Spring is hot and irritating. Isn't it just that the fire is cooking the oil?"
Fang Jun blinked hurriedly: "So, you have to release it appropriately..."
Lu Dongzan shook his head and was speechless. This boy really has no good intentions...
The two of them didn't talk about business, but just talked about the customs of various places and the magnificent scenery of the country. Lu Dongzan was amazed by Fang Jun's erudition again. Although this boy is young, he seems to have an understanding of the customs, places of interest and scenery of various places.
, and the insights are very insightful, which often makes Lu Dongzan, who is well-informed and known as the "first wise man in Tubo", think deeply...
While chatting first, he accidentally drank two small cups of tea. This time, Lu Dongzan not only felt hot in his heart, but also his feet, hands and face. He also became more interested in Huadiao wine and thought about returning to Tibet.
Now is the time to be extravagant, buy a few more jars, and enjoy yourself with Zamp.
"What is the best temperature for this wine?" Lu Dongzan asked.
Fang Jun drank a few cups, his face became rosy, and he said: "I don't know very well, but the merchant who delivered the wine said that he heard a noise inside the pot, and that he could hold the copper pot in his hand and burn it without hurting anyone."
. If the wine is not simmered enough, the wine will not taste mellow. If it is over-heated, the flavor will be lost. This wine is extremely popular in Jiangnan. People in Jiangnan eat a lot of seafood, so they need to drink a few sips of Huadiao. Seafood is the most popular drink.
It is cool in nature, while Huadiao warms the stomach..."
The two of them chatted away like this, as if they were friends reunited after not seeing each other for many years, and they didn't talk about anything serious for a long time.
Fang Jun can keep his temper, and Lu Dongzan can naturally keep his temper even more.
One old and one young, just messing with each other...
