Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 143 The Du family is shocked, Du Ruhui, what do you mean?
Although it tasted good, he didn't know what the deeper meaning behind it was.

So Li Yuan stopped guessing and asked directly.

He knew very well that although Li Shimin had always regarded himself as his subject, this world was no longer his.

Li Shimin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.

"Father, no, no, no! I have absolutely no such intention. This pork was obtained from Wangyun Inn. This afternoon, I, Fu Ji, Wei Zheng and others also feasted on it."

Li Shimin said quickly.

Li Yuan was slightly stunned when he heard this.

Did Li Shimin and the others eat it too?

Judging from the way Li Shimin spoke, it seemed that he was not lying.

"Is this...really pork?"

Li Yuan asked again.

Li Shimin nodded heavily and replied, "Father, I saw it with my own eyes. It was really pork! And it was pork from Wangyun Inn!"

Li Yuan was silent.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the jar that was still steaming.

"Then why....it smells so good?"

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and told everyone what he had seen and heard at Wangyun Inn today.

Li Yuan listened very carefully.

When Li Yuan finished speaking, two rays of light that seemed real suddenly shot out from his originally puzzled eyes.

His body suddenly stood up.

Confused!

Unbelievable!

incredible!

He lowered his head and stared at Li Shimin, then looked at the jar, his lips trembling slightly.

"This...this...Second brother, what you said...is it true? Gulp..."

"Master Qin has created a good prescription for the world, a good prescription!!"

"He...he...how on earth did he come up with this!"

Li Yuan's words were intermittent and his speech was unclear.

The shock in my heart was like a volcanic eruption.

He was an emperor.

He knew what Li Shimin said meant.

If people all over the world could eat meat, and such delicious meat, what would the Tang Dynasty be like? !
Incredible!

Unpredictable!

Li Yuan knew very well that if all this was accomplished, the son in front of him would become the greatest monarch in all dynasties!
Everything Li Shimin experienced during this period of time was shocking and horrifying.

He was emperor for nine years.

but….
He had nothing to say.

"Father, please sit down."

Li Shimin quickly helped Li Yuan sit down.

"Father, come, drink some wine. This meat should be worthy of the wine tonight!"

Li Shimin also raised his glass.

Li Yuan laughed out loud.

"Second brother, you are right, come! Drink!"

The two of them clinked their bowls and drank the wine in one gulp.

They drank and chatted until late at night.

In the end, Li Shimin left drunkenly and was supported by his mistress.

At this time, Li Yuan could no longer stand up.

He lay sideways in the seat, arms open, right leg straight, left leg bent, one hand supporting the body, the other resting on his bent knees.

Staring at Li Mingdong's staggering back.

His gaze is profound.

"Second brother, this scene is so similar to what happened between you and Jiancheng Yuanji in the past. You blamed me at the beginning. I was the one who caused you two brothers to turn against each other. But today... the crown prince, and Qingque..."

"You, must not let them make the same mistake again."

"We, the Li Tang clan, can't just mess around for three generations, right? You...ah...I've seen Qingque. It's a pity that Qingque is so talented but he doesn't become the emperor. But...you must not favor Qingque and you must make use of the crown prince."

"You, please think it through carefully!"

After Li Yuan said this, he fell down and lay flat, with the corners of his mouth curled up wildly.

"We have Young Master Qin in the Tang Dynasty. This is the protection of our ancestors!!"

"Master Qin, you are the greatest auspicious sign for our Tang Dynasty. Auspicious sign! An indisputable auspicious sign!!"

Li Yuan kept mumbling to himself, and finally fell asleep.

….……….….…

Du Fu.

Du Ruhui sat on the stone table in the yard, waiting eagerly.

"Master, eat something first. That meat is considered as 'divine meat' and it will take some time to be cooked. If you are hungry like this, you will feel uncomfortable. Aren't you the one who is suffering?!"

Mrs. Du advised earnestly.

She was really tired.

Du Ruhui came back from outside and got ten pounds of meat from somewhere. He insisted on eating it and refused to have dinner.

Until now, I am still waiting.

"Yes, Dad, you can have some snacks first. I don't know when the meat will be ready. Dad, you can eat something first."

His daughter Du Ruyan also agreed.

"No, no, no."

Du Ruhui glared at them and shook his head like a wave drum.

"Today, I am going to eat that meat. Tsk tsk tsk… that meat and that taste… you guys should try some later. Humph, it's so delicious that it'll kill you!!"

"Now any other taste in your mouth is a blasphemy to meat!"

Du Ruhui said this with great determination.

Mrs. Du and Du Ruyan were helpless.

"What kind of meat is this? My Lord."

Mrs. Du really had no way to deal with him, so she usually kept a strict control over Du Ruhui, but this was the first time she had seen such a situation, and she had no way of scolding him.

After all, it's just stuttering.

However, the master was so amazing that he even stopped eating the meals in the mansion just to have a bite of this meat.

At worst, I can eat it tomorrow.

I have to eat it today.

Du Ruhui hummed twice, looked at the stars in the sky, felt the dancing of the evening breeze, and said leisurely and expectantly: "Pork, how is it? You haven't eaten it before, right?"

Du Ruhui didn't beat around the bush and said it directly and clearly.

pork?!!

But these two words made Mrs. Du and Du Ruyan frightened and their expressions suddenly changed.

Oh my God!
What did the master/father say?!
pork?!
Can this food be eaten?
How could a piece of lowly flesh like me be worthy of marrying into a noble family like the Du Mansion?

Especially when Mrs. Du heard this, her anger suddenly came out.

She was originally the head of the family, and Du Ruhui was usually strictly controlled by her. But now, he has been reduced to eating pork.

Mrs. Du couldn't accept it.

pork!

This thing is pork!

Du Ruhui actually wanted to eat something that even dogs despised.

Think about how others will view the Du family if you tell them about it. How will other wives of the Dukes view you? How will people view Du Ruhui in the outside world...
Also, when she went to bed at night, Du Ruhui was right beside her, but he actually ate cheap meat!!!
The pots in the mansion were also directly contaminated.

Thinking of this, she immediately lost control of herself.

"Du Ruhui! What do you want to do? Make a fuss? Huh?"

"How dare you bring cheap meat into the mansion, and...and...want to eat it."

"Du Ruhui," Are you tired of living? Go, go, throw away the meat now! Throw it away! Go and give me a bath right now, or you won't be able to enter the room again!"

Mrs. Du's hair was all blown up.

The whole person was confused.

crazy!

This is really crazy!!
This is the mansion of a dignified Duke, yet they actually brought in cheap meat to be cooked. That’s not all, the Duke actually wanted to eat it! !
This, this, this, this!
How can you still have the nerve to live in Chang'an if this gets out?
I guess his spine is about to be broken by someone!
Du Ruyan smiled bitterly, but she also knew that her mother was right.

This is the Duke's Mansion.

She couldn't accept what her father had done.

Cheap meat!

This thing can be said to be something that the upper class people in Changan would not touch, let alone touch it, they would not even look at it.

but now!

hiss…….
Not only touch it, but also eat it!

Oh my God!
crazy!

It's really crazy!!

"Yes, Dad, don't be angry with Mom. What kind of meat do you want to eat? Your daughter will buy it for you, but throw away this cheap meat."

"It's not like our family can't afford other kinds of meat. Dad, you're a duke, and a duke eats pork. If this gets out, how can you survive?"

"By then, all the officials in the court will probably look down on you. You are the prime minister of our Tang Dynasty, you can't afford to eat that!"

Du Ruyan also tried to dissuade him anxiously.

Du Ruhui looked at his wife and daughter in front of him, chuckled, his expression unchanged, as steady as a rock, he just shook his head and said, "It's just a woman's opinion."

"what?!"

"you…."

Hearing this, Mrs. Du reached out to pull Du Ruhui's ears. When had Du Ruhui ever spoken to her like this in this family?

Too much!
It’s really too much!
Earthshaking!

This is really going to be a big deal!

However, this time Du Ruhui did not resist as usual, but directly reached out and grabbed Mrs. Du's wrist.

"What do you want to do? Humph! You are still not convinced by my womanly opinion? This meat is the best meat in the world, what do you know!!"

"It won't be long before this becomes popular in all places of Chang'an City. Women's opinions are just right for you!!"

Du Ruhui said directly.

He had never been so tough before, but this time, for the sake of pork, Du Ruhui really stood up completely.

“You eat pork? You…you…”

"Believe it or not, I will go find the Queen and let her teach you a lesson, Du Ruhui, you can't eat this meat!"

Mrs. Du was also anxious and her voice became louder.

"Looking for the Queen? Look! Go find her now! You are so rebellious! Do you know that the Queen ate a big bowl of meat at noon today? You are a woman with a narrow mind, and you dare to look for the Queen. What do you know? Humph!"

Du Ruhui simply flicked Mrs. Du's wrist and felt very satisfied.

Damn it, when did I ever say something like this at home?
I didn’t expect that he would stand up because of pork.

Du Ruhui looked at Mrs. Du, whose face was changing from gloomy to happy, and remained extremely calm.

"You...you...it's impossible, it's absolutely impossible! How could the Queen eat cheap meat!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, you are talking nonsense!"

Mrs. Du pointed at Du Ruhui, unwilling to give in.

Du Ruhui slapped her hand and said angrily: "What are you pointing at? Don't you believe it? Go ask His Majesty, ask the Queen, ask Qin Wenyuan, Master Qin. Humph! To say that you have a woman's opinion is an understatement. You are so brainless!!"

"Take a look and taste it for yourself later. Pork will be the most favorite meat of the people of our Tang Dynasty from now on. Do you know that?"

"This is the meat cultivated by our Master Qin. Do you know what is meant by universal meat? Humph, you know nothing!"

"Your Majesty has said that this pork will be the pillar of the people of the Tang Dynasty in the future. It is the auspicious sign that Master Qin has brought to the Tang Dynasty, comparable to the book. What do you know?"

Du Ruhui exploded.

This output is so refreshing.

It was as if all the frustration of the past few years had been released.

pork!

How could I allow such an ignorant woman like you to insult me?
how is this possible! !
Du Ruhui did not give in at all.

That's hard steel!
There were tears in Mrs. Du's eyes.

I felt very upset after hearing what Du Ruhui said.
Over the years, she has always been talking about Du Ruhui, but when has Du Ruhui ever talked about her?

Moreover, today, just for a piece of cheap meat, he actually scolded me like this, in front of my daughter.

"Dad, Mom! Oh, stop arguing. It's just a pork dish. Mom, it's okay, it's okay. The pork is fishy and smelly. When the meat is served, you can talk about Daddy later."

Du Ruyan hurried to comfort her.

"Your Majesty, how can pork be made into a popular meat? It's impossible! This meat is simply unpalatable! Dad, you are really going too far. You say this about Mom just for a piece of cheap meat."

Du Ruyan glared at Du Ruhui.

Du Ruhui looked at his daughter, sighed, shook his head and said, "My daughter, I thought you had studied for so many years and would have your own opinions instead of just following others and having fixed impressions."

"Things are always changing, and pork is also changing. How can you be worthy of Master Qin?"

"Originally, I was thinking of finding a time to tell His Majesty about you and Young Master Qin, but now it seems that you are so stubborn that you will never change if you follow your mother. How can you understand Young Master Qin?"

Du Ruhui couldn't stop shaking his head.

The last time his daughter met Qin Changye, she was somewhat attracted to Qin Changye. Du Ruhui saw all of this, so he thought about proposing marriage.

When Du Ruyan heard this, her face turned red.

Tell me about yourself and Master Qin?
this…….
Changle, what can we do?
Her heart tightened, and she was actually a little speechless. She opened her mouth and said, "Dad, daughter...daughter..."

He hesitated for a long time and couldn't say the next words.

"But, Dad, even if you don't tell anyone about my daughter and Mr. Qin, you are still wrong in this matter."

"Daddy, you're lying. I can't eat cheap meat."

Du Ruyan changed the subject and this time spoke in a voice full of certainty, and continued: "Even if it's Master Qin, he can't make cheap meat taste good."

“Oh…” Du Ruhui shook his head and sighed.

This is prejudice.

And just at this moment, a servant finally came carrying someone over.

"Master, Master, this meat is prepared as you ordered."

Du Ruhui hurriedly stood up and directed that the pot be placed on the table.

"Hey, Master, what kind of meat is this? Why is it so fragrant? When we were cooking it, we couldn't help but want to steal a piece. We really have never seen such fragrant meat before."

A servant wiped his nose with his sleeve and said excitedly.
