"Hiss~" The lady in the air suddenly took a deep breath and her fingers were retracted like an electric shock. She saw a small eye had been pierced from the tip of her fingers, and a drop of crystal blood was emitted. She had become accustomed to this situation. She put her fingers in her mouth and sucked for a while, and then continued to embroider the unfinished embroidery.

It was already late at night, and the wardrobe felt tired and sleepy, but the embroidery was already at the end. If it could be finished today, then the powder could be sold tomorrow. In this way, the family can have an income and improve their current life. At least buy some meat and other food to improve their food. The powder has lost a lot of weight during this period.

Thinking of the situation at home, Yi Niang couldn't help but cheer up and speed up the embroidery movements in her hand. When it was almost three o'clock, she finally completed a picture of a peony. She actually didn't like peony very much. She always felt that the peony was too gorgeous. However, this colorful embroidery is very popular with the public, so Yi Niang embroidered this picture of a peony, hoping to sell it for a good price.

After completing this embroidery, the lady finally felt sleepy coming like a tide. So she didn't care about packing her things and came to the bed to lie down to rest. As for the powder on the other bed, she was sleeping soundly and even made a slight snoring.

The lady was so tired that she fell asleep as soon as she lay down. When she woke up, it was already midday. The breakfast prepared by pink was placed on the table in the outer room. Because the weather was too hot, it didn’t matter how hot and cold. The lady ate some of it, and then checked the embroidery of yesterday, and then shouted: “Pink!”

Yesterday, Yi Niang told Fan'er not to go out today because she was going to go to the city to sell the embroidery. However, what made Yi Niang feel strange was that she shouted a few times but didn't hear Fan'er's response. This made Yi Niang very strange. She left the living room and came to the yard. She heard that there seemed to be something in the kitchen, so she walked over, but before she could enter the kitchen, she was smoked by a burnt smell inside.

"Font, what are you doing inside?" The lady in the clothes said anxiously when she smelled the burnt smell in the kitchen. She wondered if it was on fire?

"Ah! Wait a minute!" As soon as the Yi Niang finished speaking, Fan'er's voice immediately came from the kitchen, and then there was a sound of pots and pans colliding. Fan seemed to be very panicked. Then Fan'er ran out with a gray face, looking very embarrassed.

"Fan'er, what are you doing inside? Why is it so scented?" The lady in the air asked again with some concern. In fact, from a few days ago, she found that Fan'er had become a little mysterious. She didn't stay in the living room to cool off in the hot weather, but instead went into the stuffy kitchen to tinker with something. She didn't say anything. She wanted to go in and see, but was always stopped. This was the first time Fan'er had something to hide from her.

"Hehe, sister Yi Niang, don't ask, I will definitely surprise you in the future!" Fan'er still did not answer positively, but said with a smile on her face. She has been answering Yi Niang this way these days.

"As long as you don't light the kitchen, I'll be grateful!" The lady in the air has asked Fan'er more than once, but she just didn't say it, and she was too lazy to ask again now. Moreover, she had something to let Fan'er do, so she took out the embroidery that she had just embroidered last night and said, "Fener, I've made this embroidery. You can take the time to sell it in Chang'an!"

"Okay, Sister Yuechan also wants to go to the city to buy things in the afternoon. I can go to the city together in their carriage." Fan'er nodded immediately, and said as she reached out to take the embroidery, but found that her hands were covered with black and gray, which made her smile and hurriedly pulled her hands without taking the embroidery, so that it would not be worthwhile if it was dirty.

Seeing Fan'er's face and hands full of black and gray, the lady in the clothes also wanted to rush into the kitchen to see what she was doing, but she finally chose to respect Fan'er's privacy. After all, she didn't tell herself that she must have her own reasons, and she also believed that Fan'er would definitely not harm her, so she didn't say anything in the end. She went back and took a bag and wrapped the embroidery and gave it to Fan'er for her to go to the city to sell it in the afternoon.

After seeing the angel leaving, the pink breathed a sigh of relief, and then rushed into the kitchen with great enthusiasm. After a while, the burnt smell was emitted again. However, if you carefully distinguish it, you will find that the burnt smell was vaguely filled with a little tea fragrance.

Li Shimin left Chang'an again. This is also the news that Li Xiu had just received. It is said that there was an incident on the Turks, which seemed to be related to Xue Yantuo. Xue Yantuo was an important chess piece that the Tang Dynasty restrained the Turks. Although this strategy was first proposed by Li Xiu, it was improved in the hands of Li Shimin and he reported it to Li Yuan. Therefore, he has always been responsible for this matter. Now that there is a problem with Xue Yantuo, Li Shimin naturally has to deal with it himself.

In addition, Li Xiu also learned about some things in the court through Ma Ye. For example, the power of the Crown Prince Li Jiancheng in the court is becoming increasingly powerful. Almost most of the court officials are inclined to him. Even Pei Ji, who Li Yuan trusts the most, has had some contacts with Li Jiancheng during this period. In addition, Li Shimin is now leaving Beijing, which makes most people more optimistic about Li Jiancheng. Even the concubines who have children in Li Yuan's palace are scrambling to curry favor with Li Jiancheng, hoping that after he ascended the throne, he can arrange a good place for his children.

However, no matter how turbulent the outside world is, all this has nothing to do with Li Xiu. He still sits firmly on his own Diaoyutai. It is certainly delightful to take the fish on the bait, but he will not be discouraged. The apricot that the powder behind him often picks is finally ripe. Pick one and wash it in the clear river water, stuff it into his mouth and take a bite. It is sweet and has a big appetite. This feeling is probably something that people like Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin will never be able to understand.

Lunch was brought to him by Yuechan. Li Xiu found that eating in the wild would feel very fragrant. He ate two dishes, one soup and two steamed buns. This made Li Xiu feel a little wary of whether his figure was starting to gain weight.

Just after Li Xiu had lunch, he saw another fish taking the hook. As a result, Li Xiu suddenly lifted the rod. As a result, the fish under the water was very cunning and actually left the hook and ran away. This made Li Xiu smile helplessly. It seemed that the fish was lucky. I hope it could remember this lesson and not be caught by itself in the future.

"Young Master~Young Master~, I...I succeeded!" At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind. When Li Xiu turned his head, he happened to see Fan Er running from the river panting, waving a bamboo tube in his hand, running and shouting at him with excitement.

"Run slowly, don't fall into the river. My swimming skills are not very good!" Li Xiu looked at the fan who was running around rashly and immediately reminded him loudly. This little girl is frivolous and has fallen from a tree for no reason, and it is not impossible to fall into the river.

Fortunately, although the fan was excited, she was not yet so fond of her mind. She quickly ran to Li Xiu, then raised the bamboo tube high and said, "Look, young master, this is the tea I fried!"

Seeing the happy look of the pink, Li Xiu couldn't help but laugh. He took the bamboo tube and opened it and looked at it. It was indeed green tea leaves inside. It smelled and emitted an attractive tea fragrance. Judging from the appearance and fragrance, it was similar to the tea leaves in later generations, but I didn't know how it tasted after brewing.

"It's not bad, this is what the tea should look like. Thank you for your hard work," Li Xiu praised him. That day he told the fried tea and promised her that if she could make fried tea, he would buy it with a lot of money. However, although he had drunk a lot of tea in later generations, he didn't know much about fried tea. He only knew that it was made by stir-frying tea in an iron pot. As for how to stir-fry, how many times, and what other processes were there, he knew nothing about it. Everything needed the fried tea himself. Unexpectedly, she made the fried tea in just a few days.

After receiving Li Xiu's affirmative answer, the flour jumped up excitedly. During this period, in order to make stir-fried tea, she started thinking during the day and at night. At the beginning, she wanted to fry the tea directly, but she was frying every time. Until today, she suddenly had an idea. She first stir-fry the tea and then fry it softly, then bake it in the sun for a while and then stir-fry it dry on low heat. In this way, she finally fry the tea.

After the fan was excited, he immediately looked at Li Xiu with a embarrassed look. He wanted to speak several times, but in the end he didn't make any sound. Li Xiu couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. He looked at the tea in the bamboo tube, and then said generously: "These teas are not too much or too much, you can count as one hundred ounces, but I didn't bring any money now, I'll bring it to you tomorrow!"

The tea made by powder is less than one yuan, and the quality is also very average. It was not worth so much. However, when Li Xiu saw that powder was burning a few water on his hands because of stir-frying tea, he had to burn it on his face without washing black and gray on his face. In addition, in such hot weather, she had to stay by the fire to stir-fry tea, which was extremely hard, so she offered a rare high price.

"One...one hundred ci!" Fan'er fainted happily when she heard this price. She thought that only ten cents would be enough for such a small amount of tea, but she didn't expect that Li Xiu would pay ten times the price. If she adds tricks to stir-fry more tea tomorrow, wouldn't she be able to exchange for more money, and she wouldn't even need to embroider the garment lady to do it, and she could support them herself.

"That's great! Thank you... Thank you young master!" Fan'er was so excited that she was a little incoherent. In fact, she still didn't know Li Xiu's name. She usually only called "young master", and she didn't know that Li Xiu was actually the one whom Yi Niang was going to marry.

Seeing Fan'er's excited look, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a little funny. He comforted her a few words. At this time, Fan'er remembered that he would enter Chang'an in the afternoon while Yue Chan's car was taking advantage of Yue Chan's car, so he hurriedly left after thanking Li Xiu again.

When the flour left, Li Xiu couldn't sit still. He wanted to taste the tea fried with the flour? And the good things were to be shared with others, so Li Xiu immediately came to Princess Pingyang's house. After asking about her location, she didn't need to be led by her servants and went straight to the back garden. But what Li Xiu never expected was that Princess Pingyang actually had a guest today, and she was also a female guest. (To be continued.)
