Chapter 286: Everything for Brain Generation (1)
Chapter 286
In terms of vanity, being favored by the Tang Dynasty princess is indeed something that makes Li Muyun very proud.
But he was not a child of seven or eight years old after all. The thinking of an adult told him that in the Tang Dynasty, if you want to live better, you must not rely on things like vanity. Better reflect your value is the foundation for living in this aristocratic family.
Although later generations have always talked about the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the rule of Zhenguan, it is all the big situation.
When you are really in the Tang Dynasty, you will know that this place is still a society where the emperor wants to cut down whoever he wants to move.
Moreover, in the Tang Dynasty, in addition to emperors, there were also families, gentry, and nobles. The concept of class was not completely eliminated even in later generations, let alone in the Tang Dynasty, when people were as cheap as grass.
Therefore, if Li Muyun really wants to live well in this world, he must reflect his own value. Only when he reflects his own value will he be recognized by the upper class. Only when he is recognized by the upper class can he live comfortably and according to his own ideas.
This is the survival experience of the Tang Dynasty summarized by Li Muyun over the past year!
"Mr. Li, we are here!" Just as Li Muyun was thinking about his own affairs all the way, the eunuch leading the way stopped and stood in front of the gate of a small house.
"So fast?" Li Muyun looked back in surprise and looked at the road. It seemed that he could still see the walls of the palace from afar: "There hasn't been out of the palace yet?"
"This is Chongrenfang, which is separated from the palace by a street so that Your Majesty can summon him at any time." The eunuch explained the location of the house and the reason why Li Shimin placed someone here in a simple way.
Li Muyun nodded mechanically. He now hoped that Li Shimin would never think of him again. It would be better to summon him at any time or not, otherwise his head would not be able to be saved at any time.
After entering the house and walking around for a few times, I found that the house was not very big, but there was no problem with living in ten or eight people.
The maids and servants sent by several eunuchs and provinces had already arrived. At this time, half of the house had been cleaned and some essential daily necessities were moved in one after another.
It’s different if an emperor speaks. Think about it, if an ordinary person moves, not to mention an hour, you may not be able to get a house with two entry points for a week.
While enjoying the convenience brought by power, Li Muyun cursed the evil feudalism in his heart. By the way, he also called on the eunuchs who guided him: "I said, father-in-law, please ask, where can I find a blacksmith near here?"
"Blacksmith?" The eunuch thought for a while: "As far as I know, the closest place to this place, and there is also a blacksmith. One is Lord Changsun's mansion, and the other is the general's supervisor!"
"Can you please ask my father-in-law to find one for Li?" Li Muyun thought about these two places. It seemed that he could not enter now. In the end, he had to give up his plan to find it in person.
"No problem, I just don't know when you want someone?" The eunuch had an order before coming. To meet all Li Muyun's requests, he would naturally not make things difficult for him in such small matters.
“The faster the better.”
"Okay." The eunuch agreed, turned around and gave a few simple instructions, and came back again: "The person you are looking for will arrive in about half an hour. In addition, if you have nothing to do, you can go back."
"Brother-in-law, you can go slowly!" Li Muyun was not a ignorant person either. The eunuch obviously didn't care about him anymore. He wanted to go back to serve the emperor. Of course, he would not drag others away and hug him and sent him away.
"What are you looking for a blacksmith?" The eunuch left, and Gongsun Lan appeared from an inconspicuous corner.
"Make a good thing, don't worry about what it is. Go and buy some dried jasmine flowers and peony flowers." Li Muyun said as he pushed Gongsun Lan outside the door of the house and waved his hand to signal him to go quickly.
As a result, Gongsun Lan not only did not leave, but instead stretched out her hand.
"What are you doing?" Li Muyun took a step back.
"Give money!" Gongsun Lan said angrily.
"You can put it on the cushion first, and then give it to you later. It's not a valuable thing." Li Muyun waved his hand very scoundrelly. He doesn't have much money in his hands now, so he should save some money.
...
Li Muyun made an afternoon to make a struggle. After the blacksmith was found, his biggest task was to connect a pipe to the lid of a steamer. This was simple and it took less time to complete it.
Gongsun Lan's task is much more troublesome. She needs to make all the jasmine and peonies into powder or flower mud, which is indeed a very troublesome thing in the era without a juicer.
And by the time everything is done, it is already evening.
What happened next made Gongsun Lan even more difficult to understand. After Li Muyun drove everyone out of the kitchen, he put all the wine he carried on into the steamer, and after adding the firewood, he started to steam it.
"What are you going to do? The mysterious thing is not going to do something bad, right?" Gongsun Lan looked at Li Muyun with a look of exhaustion suspicion, with some uncertainty.
"What else can I do? Of course I am preparing a birthday gift for the queen. I will tell you that this is a big deal. Even if the Emperor's Majesty's affairs are not done, I have to do the queen's affairs first, otherwise you will immediately know how powerful the pillow style is." Li Muyun chatted with Gongsun Lan indifferently, while paying attention to the movement of the steamer.
After half a night, the few kilograms of wine he brought were only less than half a kilogram, but the concentration of the 'wine' was so high that it was so scary.
Gongsun Lan wanted to know what the use of Li Muyun creating this thing, but before she could ask, she saw someone separate the "wine" with the jasmine powder and peony mud that she had previously ground.
Then in her suspicious eyes, Li Muyun stuffed one of them into her hands: "Please shake it, you won't have to sleep tonight!"
"Why?" The bottle handed over by Li Muyun was sealed very tightly, but there was still a strong smell of alcohol. Gongsun Lan received it in confusion and asked uncertainly: "Is it really going to shake until tomorrow?"
"To be precise, it's tomorrow afternoon!" Li Muyun shrugged: "Although I'm a little tired, I'll help you for my head and don't be lazy! Otherwise, if you want to see me in the future, you can only burn paper."
