Chapter 533 Heart
Zhao Lian'er likes to drink Taoyao tea.
Taoyao tea is not expensive, but it is very precious.
Only the head of the Gu family in Yizhou can grow peach trees.
The head of the Gu family in Yizhou gave away peach trees based on the personal relationships and social customs.
Chen Mingan originally wanted to borrow a pack of Taoyao from Zhu Huaizhen.
Chen Ming'an had thought about this as early as Chang'an, the capital of Northern Jin.
However, he shouldn't hurt Zhu Huaizhen for Zhao Lian'er.
After much deliberation, he asked Emperor Hui of Jin for help.
Take the peach blossoms on the third day of March and the white dew on the third day of September, and set out a set of tea-making utensils including a copper wind stove, willow charcoal, wrought iron fire tongs, small green bamboo clips, locust wood water cubes, and Yuezhou jade bowls, and wait for the first boil to produce small bubbles, the second boil to produce gushing springs, and the third boil to produce surging waves.
Zhao Lian'er also likes to eat Danai cake.
To make Danai cake, pick plums, peel them, remove the pits, and blanch them briefly in water boiled with white plums and licorice to remove the sourness. Then, let them air-dry and cool thoroughly. Then, mix in a variety of nuts—Zhu Huaizhen likes pine nuts, Tu Mi likes walnuts, and Lou Li likes cashews—and mix them with honey. Roll them into small balls. Finally, fill the plums with the nut and honey filling, steam them until cooked through, and then let them cool.
Zhao Lian'er also likes to eat light dishes.
Dishes such as Bijian Soup, Banglin Fresh Soup, Taishou Soup, Vegetarian Steamed Duck, Qingjing Rice, Roasted Yuanyang, Suhuangdu, Shanhaidou, Shanjia Three Crisps, and Lotus Pod Fish Buns look particularly elegant.
"Zhenzhen, can you go with me?" Chen Mingan asked softly.
"Ming'an, I'm afraid Zhao Lian'er will be upset." Zhu Huaizhen touched his chin, surprised.
"It's okay." Chen Mingan shook his head slightly.
He and Zhao Lian'er should make a clear break.
This way, it would be good for both Zhao Lian'er and Zhu Huaizhen.
So Zhu Huaizhen reluctantly agreed.
There are also private rooms in the dungeon, which was specially ordered by Concubine Bai.
A mahogany bed with brand new bedding.
Zhao Lian'er asked for some extra incense, which was a gentleman's incense.
The main ingredients of gentleman incense are agarwood, jasmine flowers, and fresh cypress leaves. The production process is relatively simple. First, the agarwood is ground into extremely small particles. Next, dried jasmine flowers and fresh cypress leaves are stacked into a round cake, with the cypress leaves on top and the jasmine flowers on the bottom. The cake is then tightly pressed together. The agarwood particles are then pressed into the jasmine flowers, creating a thin, portable incense cake.
"Brother Ming'an, you are finally here. I thought I would never see you again in this life..." Zhao Lian'er burst into tears when she suddenly saw Chen Ming'an.
However, Zhu Huaizhen slowly walked out from behind Chen Mingan.
"Brother Ming'an, save me! Chen Liang really designed this to frame me just because of a nightmare from his previous life." Zhao Lian'er suddenly fell into Chen Ming'an's arms, trembling.
Chen Mingan let go gently and sighed.
"Lian'er, your past life is not a nightmare, but a reality. A few days ago, it was rainy, damp and dark in Chang'an, and I also had a dream about my past life. I dreamed that after Zhenzhen fell from the building, my heart was torn, and I was in agony. I kept drinking to drown my sorrows. Until Tumi appeared, intending to assassinate me and tell me the truth. Then I realized that Zhenzhen was killed by you. You are so cruel, it would be a waste if you don't feed her to the poisonous snake." Chen Ming'an's voice suddenly became cold.
In his previous life, he had never experienced vicissitudes of life, so he could not be soft-hearted.
Therefore, he wanted Zhao Lian'er to be buried with Zhu Huaizhen, a life worse than death.
"Brother Ming'an, it's not like that..." Zhao Lian'er shook her head vigorously and burst into tears.
"Lian'er, in your next life, don't like me, and don't resent Zhenzhen. After you die, I will collect your ashes and bury them under the Swallow Tower. The Swallow Tower was built for you, but you didn't cherish it." Chen Ming'an put down the food box, took the stunned Zhu Huaizhen, and turned to leave.
