When he heard that Li Xiu brought new tea and said that it was different from the previous tea, it immediately aroused the interest of Princess Pingyang. He asked Li Xiu to cook tea for them. Changsun was also very interested in Li Xiu, so he also looked at him with an enthusiastic look, wanting to see what kind of tea he could produce?

Li Xiu immediately asked his helmet to take away the boiled tea from the charcoal stove, and then changed to a new kettle, and it must be an iron kettle, and then boiled it on the fire. Then Li Xiu opened the bamboo tube and borrowed the teaspoon that Princess Pingyang had just used to take out the tea leaves and put it into the tea bowl. When he saw that the tea that Li Xiu took out was grains, rather than the tea cakes they brought, and when they used it, Princess Pingyang and Changsun also showed surprise expressions.

Then Li Xiu poured the boiling water into the tea bowl, but he only shook it for a few seconds before pouring out the tea. When he was discussing business in his previous life, he also met customers who liked to drink tea. Sometimes he would talk about business in the tea art hall. Under the influence of his eyes, Li Xiu also knew some of the steps and steps of making tea.

For example, the first sap of water is called washing tea. It needs to wash away the dust on the tea leaves, so it has to be poured out and not drunk. Then the water is poured for the second time. After the tea leaves stretch out in the water, the tea also turns transparent and golden, and smells a faint tea fragrance. Although it is not strong, it has a refreshing feeling.

"Okay, princess, please use tea!" Li Xiu presented the tea bowl with both hands and said, "You must abide by the corresponding etiquette when making tea, which is also part of the tea ceremony. Unfortunately, he only knew a little bit of fur in later generations, but it is still okay to fool Princess Pingyang and Changsun's laymen.

"This... is so simple?" Princess Pingyang asked in disbelief. Li Xiu actually boiled the water and poured it on the tea leaves without adding anything. Is this kind of tea still called tea?

"As the saying goes, the way is simple. Tea is a gentleman's drink. Just rinse it with white water. Why do you need to add those pickled items?" Li Xiu said with a faint smile. At the same time, he finally said what he had always wanted to say. The mess that was not called tea, but Wuwei Soup.

"The way is simple? I didn't expect that drinking tea can make Li Ji drink some philosophy!" Changsun couldn't help but smile when he heard this, then picked up the tea sent by Li Xiu and tasted it. He found that the tea tasted slightly bitter, but after a little aftertaste it was a bit sweet. When she wanted to taste this sweetness carefully, she found that the sweetness just now disappeared without a trace, leaving only a faint tea fragrance between her mouth.

"What a gentleman's drink, it really has a unique flavor!" Changsun recalled the taste of tea, and couldn't help but praise it loudly. At the same time, he looked at Li Xiu with a little more praise. In the past, she had heard her husband Li Shimin praise Li Xiu a lot, especially for his erudition. She seemed to know endless novel things. She was a little unbelievable, but now it seems that Li Xiu is indeed extraordinary.

Princess Pingyang also picked up the tea bowl and sipped it. She soon had the same feeling as Changsun, which made her praise the tea. After savoring a few more sips, she found that the tea was gone. So Li Xiu filled her with water again, which was also bright in color. However, when she finished drinking the cup of tea, Li Xiu refused to pour water again, because after three times, the essence of the tea leaves had been leached, and the water soaked was also light and tasteless.

"This tea is good, and it has a bit of unspeakable aftertaste. In contrast, the tea we drank before was a bit strong." Princess Pingyang also praised Li Xiu's tea at this time. She has a quiet personality and a light taste, so it is not surprising that she likes to drink this kind of tea.

"Since the princess likes it, I'll give this tube of tea to the princess!" Li Xiu smiled and sent the tube to Princess Pingyang and said, "It's just a can of tea, but at worst I can buy some from the fans tomorrow."

If it was something given by someone else, Princess Pingyang might hesitate or refuse, but she didn't have to be so polite to Li Xiu. She immediately smiled and took it away. Changsun originally liked this tea, but she saw that there were not many teas in the bamboo tube, so she was embarrassed to speak.

However, Princess Pingyang noticed the expression on Changsun's face. She looked at Li Xiu and smiled, then sent the tea to Changsun and said, "My brother and sister, I think you like this tea too. Why don't I lend flowers to you and offer it to you. Anyway, I live so close to Li Jijiu, so I want him to help me make some more in the future!"

When Li Xiu heard that Princess Pingyang thought the tea was made by herself, Li Xiu did not defend herself. When Changsun saw Princess Pingyang give the tea to her, she hurriedly refused. It was not until Princess Pingyang persuaded her several times that she took it down and thanked Princess Pingyang and Li Xiu. She said that she really liked the tea.

After receiving the tea, Changsun remembered the main purpose of seeing Li Xiu today. He hurriedly said, "Li Jijiu, Chengqian has undergone great changes during this period. He even knows not to waste a grain of food when he eats. This also makes me and the King of Qin quite pleased. But he had learned well, why did he suddenly have a holiday? I think it would be better to let him continue to follow Li Jiu. Even if he doesn't study, he can help him get rid of many bad habits through your words and deeds."

When Li Xiu heard that Changsun was coming for this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. He had finally had a few days of leisure. If that kid Li Chengqian came, then he would be leisurely? Of course, he couldn't say that directly, so Li Xiu smiled at this time and said, "Princess, studying is important, but the combination of work and rest is also important. Moreover, for a child as old as Chengqian, parents are actually their best teachers."

When he said this, Li Xiu suddenly thought of a problem that he had wanted to tell Li Shimin a long time ago. Since Li Shimin was not here, it was the same as Changsun. Therefore, he continued: "In addition, I found that although Chengqian is very smart, he is a little spoiled in normal times and his mind is not as broad as other children. These should be caused by excessive spoiling in daily life. I hope the princess can pay attention!"

Changsun's heart is naturally not comparable to ordinary women when he was able to become a virtuous queen of a generation. When Li Xiu mentioned in person that Li Chengqian was too spoiled, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, but she didn't make any excuses. She immediately said, "Thank you, Li Jijiu, I will pay attention in the future!"

Next, Li Xiu mentioned Li Chengqian's own minor problem and discussed the education issue with Changsun. It was almost equivalent to holding a separate parent-teacher meeting. However, at this moment, the maid just now walked over quickly with Changsun's daughter in her arms. The beautiful little girl in her arms kept crying and clamoring for her mother. This made Changsun smile apologetically and said, "The little girl is sleepy, I'll coax her to sleep first. Li Jijiu, you can chat with the third sister slowly!"

Li Xiu smiled understandingly when he saw this, and stood up and sent Changsun away. However, Princess Pingyang finally sighed to Li Xiu and said, "Li Jijiu, you were actually wrongly blamed Guanyin maid just now!"

"Oh? Why did the princess say that?" Li Xiu said in confusion. He knew that Changsun's nickname was Guanyinbi. What's also very interesting is that women in this era seemed to like to use Guanyin as their name. For example, Li Jiancheng's wife was called Zheng Guanyin. Moreover, she was not killed after the Xuanwu Gate Incident. Instead, she lived longer than Li Shimin and Changsun. She did not die until Li Zhi became emperor.

"You just said that Chengqian was too doting to have some personality problems. In fact, it was not Guanyin maid who really doted Chengqian, but my second brother. On the contrary, Guanyin maid was very strict with Chengqian and had repeatedly advised the second brother not to dote on his children, but the second brother could not change this problem." Princess Pingyang sighed again at this time. As Li Shimin's elder sister, no one knew Li Shimin's shortcomings better than her.

When talking about Li Shimin's education of his children, Li Xiu thought of the miserable consequences of Li Shimin's children in later generations, and he couldn't help but speak: "No one is perfect. His Highness, the literary and military talents of the King of Qin are very comparable, but he does have some problems in educating his children."

"It's not just a problem. In my opinion, the second brother will not take care of the children at all!" Princess Pingyang suddenly said with a stern face at this time. It seemed that she had a lot of opinions about Li Shimin's way of educating children.

"Oh? Why did the princess say that?" Li Xiu said with interest. He wanted to hear Princess Pingyang's evaluation of Li Shimin's shortcomings.

"Oh, it's actually a bit one-sided to say that the second brother is doting on his children. He is particularly close to the children he likes, especially the children born in the legitimate family. It makes no sense to spoil him. Even if the children cause trouble, he will help him carry it. However, he doesn't like those children born in a bad mood. Occasionally, he will say a few words to the children when they are in a bad mood. He will be cold and scared the children at home so that he doesn't even dare to say something. How can you educate the children well like this?" Princess Pingyang said in anger at last.

Li Xiu shook his head helplessly when he heard this, "So that's it. It seems that the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate is really harmful to others. I am an example. His Highness the King of Qin comforted me at the beginning, but unfortunately he didn't see the problem in himself. If he did not correct his own fault, he would probably lay a huge hidden danger for himself."

Princess Pingyang nodded in agreement with Li Xiu's words, but she could only persuade her to persuade her to do so, but she could not help Li Shimin correct her. So she was helpless and could only think secretly that she could ask Changsun to pay more attention in the future and advise her from time to time to avoid Li Shimin from teaching her children.

Li Xiu felt the topic was a little heavy at this time, and he smiled and changed the topic: "Your Highness, do you know who made the tea that kind of tea just now?"

"Aren't you?" Princess Pingyang couldn't help but look up and widen her eyes when she heard this. She was about to ask Li Xiu for more tea. If it weren't for him, it would be a little trouble. (To be continued.)
