    If he saw it correctly, the entire Liuhe Hall was clearly made of golden nanmu. From this look, he knew that all the aniseed materials were used.  If this Liuhe Hall was left to future generations, it would probably be possible to change it to at least seventeen or eighteen villas without any problem.  Seeing that Wen Fei had been paying attention to the Liuhe Hall, Cai Jing suddenly laughed: "If Father Shang is interested, I will ask the craftsmen to build a bigger one for Father Shang's house tomorrow." Damn, Wen Fei heard this.  sentence.  He almost drooled, but he still said with a bachelor's face: "Thank you very much for your love. I also have something to give to your husband. I just hope that your husband won't dislike it!" After hearing this, Cai Jing's heart suddenly moved.  He knew that Wen Fei had many treasures in his hands. The telescope given to Tong Guan, the crystal cup given to Wang Fu, and the fine wine and jade dew given to the state leader Zheng Shen were all rare treasures in the world.  But he doesn't know what kind of treasure Wen Fei will give him today?  Wen Fei smiled slightly, feeling very narrow-minded.  This guy is quite stingy, even if he gives gifts, they are all free things.  He took out a box from his arms and handed it over.  Cai Jing is a bit sarcastic. China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times.  Gift-giving is a knowledge and an art, and it is important to be subtle and not show it.  Where can I hand a gift directly to the host so straightforwardly?  It doesn't matter if Cai Jing picks it up, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't pick it up.  Wen Fei has been in the Northern Song Dynasty for so long, so of course he knows the secretive habit of giving gifts at this time.  Especially among the scholar-bureaucrats, they are ashamed to talk about profit.  No matter how greedy you are secretly, you can be greedy, but on the surface, you must adhere to what Mencius said: a gentleman does not talk about profit.  These gifts and so on are all passed between servants, and the master must not touch them.  Otherwise, you will be despised by others "This is definitely a good thing. Although it is not a valuable treasure, it is suitable for my husband's use!" Wen Fei said with a smile.  Hearing what Wen Fei said, Cai Jing finally took the box, opened it and took out a strange thing.  It looks like two crystal lenses, somewhat like Tong Guan's telescope, but different.  The two lenses seemed to be connected by something unknown.  Although he still doesn¡¯t know what this thing is, Cai Jing is amazed just by looking at the workmanship.  Wen Fei snickered in his heart and gestured for Cai Jing to bring it to his eyes.  Cai Jing followed the words in confusion and immediately exclaimed.  My old eyes, which were originally dim, still couldn't see clearly at night like this, even though there were lanterns and torches everywhere.  However, at this time, with this useless thing, the world in front of him became particularly clear.  It was as if he was suddenly back when he was young "This is this is" Cai Jing was excited for a long time. He took off his glasses and put them on again, put them on and took them off again, and experimented back and forth several times.  Finally he sighed: "Good baby, good baby. With this thing, my eyes can finally see clearly!" It turns out that these are just a pair of reading glasses, and Cai Jing is not young anymore.  He studied hard when he was young, and when he became prime minister, he had to deal with official duties every day. Wen Fei had long expected that this guy would not have very good eyesight.  As soon as they made contact, they discovered and confirmed this, and Wen Fei sacrificed the prepared "killing weapon", which indeed made Cai Jing extremely satisfied!  A pair of glasses costs only a few hundred yuan, and with Wenfei as stingy as he is, it is naturally impossible for him to buy a pair of brand-name glasses as a gift.  But it already made Cai Jing extremely happy, and he naturally became a little more affectionate towards Wen Fei.  Wen Fei was also very satisfied. Trading such a pair of glasses for a big house made of golden nanmu was a great deal no matter how you calculated it!  Today, Cai Jing hosted a banquet for Wen Fei. Although the ceremony was grand, there were not many people there.  Cai Jing was also an elegant person, so he arranged the banquet in a small building in the backyard of Cai Mansion.  Hundreds of lamps illuminate the backyard as bright as day, and from time to time there is an extremely pleasant smell, like the fragrance of flowers, but better than the fragrance of flowers, floating in the air, emanating from those lanterns.  Although Wen Fei is a loser from a later generation and has not been exposed to many perfumes, he can still distinguish the quality of the fragrance.  Intuitively, this fragrance is vague and vague, but it is everywhere. When you smell it, your chest will be lifted.  How transparent is Cai Jing?  Naturally, he noticed it and said with a smile: "My official family is versatile and is a rare wise emperor. This spice is called ambergris, and it was made by my official family!" It turns out that Zhao Ji once discovered it in the inner treasury.  Precious exotic spices left behind by the previous dynasty.  Once this spice is burned, the fragrance is extremely charming, and it was named "ancient ambergris" by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty.  It was popular among eunuchs to wear this kind of "ancient ambergris" on their chests, and as a result, people everywhere imitated it.  But none of them had such a fragrance. Later, Zhao Ji mixed the fragrance himself and tried hundreds of formulas, and finally came up with the new "cologne", which tasted even better than the original cologne.  Cai Jing is a close official around Zhao Ji, so he will naturally be rewarded.  After Wen Fei listened, he sighed?Speechless.  I thought to myself: Damn it, I originally wanted to get some perfume to sell, but I didn¡¯t know that perfume making was already so developed in the Northern Song Dynasty.  The customs of the Northern Song Dynasty were extravagant, and the dignitaries at that time liked to drink the long night the most.  Surround the entire room with black cloth and light candles inside.  There they drank and had fun day and night.  The singers and dancers sang and danced, drank and joked (it would definitely turn into a promiscuity convention in the end).  It usually lasts for three or four days, and it is quite common to have a night of banquets.  However, this Cai Jing did not come like this.  Just opening all the doors and windows in the pavilion, a charcoal fire was lit again. Although it was in the cold winter, it was not cold at all.  One night the bright moon was in the sky. Although it was not quite round, it was extremely bright, hanging high in the sapphire-like night.  It has to be said that the air quality in this time and space is incomparable to that of modern times "The moonlight is beautiful today, so I just want to drink in front of it." Cai Jing said with a smile.  Although there were many people going out to greet Wen Fei, there were only five or six people who were qualified to come up and drink.  In addition to Cai Jing and Cai You, there were several Taoist priests. Cai Jing introduced him. One was Xu Zhichang, a monk from the left street, and the other was a Taoist with an unkempt appearance. He actually had a peony flower on his head, which was as big as a bowl of ocean. The flowers were colorful and colorful.  , how could this guy find such a flower in such a winter, but this man is named Zhang Huaisu.  Wen Fei thought: It's him.  Wen Fei still remembered that after Zhao Nian bought the sutra urn from him, he was the first to find this piece of Huai Su. Then this guy discovered his round light technique, which was much better than his own.  I can't help but feel fear in my heart.  (To be continued.
