Because of the Bai family's teahouse, Kungfu tea had become popular in the capital.

Kung fu and Gongfu is the same. Gongfu is the pinyin of the two Chinese characters 功夫, and I would imagine it was called Kung Fu in English, mainly based on someone mis-hearing the pronounciation. Anyway, Kung fu / Gongfu is actually not necessarily martial arts but just to be skilful in something. Hence it is also used in other circumstances than fighting

He would likely prefer the immortal to be fake. A dead guy is no threat to his throne, but if Shi Qingluo used the reputation on herself, she would rival his fame. Having a dead guy and using him to promote the Emperor and the kingdom is by no means a bad thing
So the old immortal must have heard his wish to ask for a son just now, right?

To quote H. C. Anderson’s ‘it’s quite true’ where one hen lost a feather, but as the story was retold numerous times, five hens had been killed.
Hence, some people in the county town started to guess whether the illegitimate daughter of the Wu family was pregnant with the child of Fourth Son Shi.

Honestly, I think they have messed up ‘Gongzi’ (公子) with duke. It’s a polite way to address a young man of a certain rank. Either a son of an official or noble heritage, or if he has a special identity of his own.
He immediately looked away from Dumby and yelped at Xiao Hanzheng, "Hello, Duke Xiao."

I would assume they refer to courtesy names here. It would be somewhat weird to use these as nicknames.
Mo Qingling's nickname was Shaoqing, and they usually called their close friends by their nicknames.

Wool answas quite late to be introduced into China for making clothes. At the start, it mainly made felt or more rough fabric which was associated with border-citizens. Cotton arrived much earlier than wool, so it’s not that unlikely to be like this.
Other than leather, wool was an excellent cold-proof material during winter.

Yes, but if they figure out the right formula with the not-so-effective bomb, they will still be able to make more powerful versions. By adding numerous medicinal herbs, it will confuse them and take them on a great detour to reinvent the bombs
The Wu family wouldn't be able to develop the formula after the mixture.

Novels tend to lack logical thoughts or reasoning. It depends on the individual reader what they can accept while reading and what they can’t. I generally find it interesting and have a ‘how much b*llsh*t can I accept before quitting this story’ level that determines if I keep reading or not. Also, what some considers really annoying cliche’s, others consider classics and enjoyable parts
If she knew that chongxi would really wake him up, she would have let her second or third daughter do it. How could she let her vile eldest daughter benefit from this?

What I say now is not meant to be degrading, nor negative in any means, but to be vegetarian and vegan, you need to have a certain understanding of nutrition and the balance of food. In our current world, this is possible because of the development of trade and the ability to mix and match food as we please. During these times, food options were very limited. Although you could live with only plant-based meals, it was not often able to fully energise the working group of citizens, and the children’s growth would be affected. That being said, meat was very expensive so many were vegetarians for most of the time, but they did not choose so, it was their only option.
After not eating meat for many years, Shengyuan's nutrition was out of balance.

He could have been a military official (not sure what the official name is) There were two ways of becoming an official - one would be the civil officials where the examinations were necessary for higher ranks, and the other would be those who rose in ranks due to military exploits and merits. I would imagine he was one of these
In addition, all his relatives were still alive, so it was necessary for him to take a formal imperial examination to become an official scholar.

I would imagine that she either took her old name as her courtesy name, or she was only nicknamed Shenyuan, but did not have an actual official name, after which she just picked her old name. All the blame can be pushed to the old Taoist priest

It makes everything seem bland. My mother suffered from severe depression before and she couldn’t enjoy her food at all. She felt that eating was a chore, and even chewing her food wasn’t fun. She didn’t to face the world at all and get it would be easier to just ignore meals. Fortunately she is past that now
This was the first time in at least a few years that she had enjoyed her food.
