"Sit casually. Yang Meng led Feng Nanzheng and the others into his study: "Tea or drink? Or drink two glasses of champagne? Look at your hot ones." ”

Feng Nan said: "Just drink tea." When I saw Mr. Yang's big tea sea, I knew that Mr. Yang was a tea lover. I've seen a lot of carved tea, but yours is really good. To tell you the truth, I have a big black gallstone tea sea at home that is expensive, but if you tell me to exchange, I will not hesitate to exchange it with you. ”

In the study, there is a large sea of root carved tea.

The term 'tea sea' first came from Fujian. Today's tea sea refers to craft furniture similar to tea tables, and the earliest meaning of tea sea over there is actually 'fair cup'.

Many people over there like to drink oolong tea, but oolong tea brewing is actually very time-conscious. In order to avoid uneven taste of tea soup, they will pour the tea soup into the 'sea of tea' first, and at the same time, they can also precipitate the tea residue, just like a teapot without a mouth.

But now the word 'tea sea' has given a new meaning to merchants, that is, what kind of bamboo, wood, stone, or even purple sand is used to make a tea table------ how elegant does drinking tea sound with this?

After hearing this, Yang Meng beckoned a few people to sit next to the sea of tea and said: "If you change with me, you will definitely suffer a big loss, I built an artificial lake later, didn't I? At that time, when I was repairing, I dug out a big tree root, and I don't know what kind of wood it is." But we can't be a good wood here. I was going to have someone throw it away, but a little girl next to me wouldn't let me throw it. Gave me the whole thing. No matter the material or anything, it can't compare to your black gallstone big tea sea. ”

Mr. Yang joked, how can such a thing be measured by material. The point is that the artistic value inside is immeasurable. Feng Nanzheng said: "I usually call myself an 'elegant person', and my family's study has always been my pride, but I am ashamed of myself when I come to Mr. Yang." Just like this "Swimming Fish Picture", I don't have to look closely to see that this is the handwriting of Bada Shanren. The price of this painting alone is in the tens of millions. ”

Yang Meng smiled slightly: "Good eyesight." President Feng also likes calligraphy and painting?"

"yes, how can you not like this as a national treasure? Feng Nanzheng said.

A young girl next to her asked curiously, "Governor Feng, how can you be sure that this is the real thing?"

Feng Nanzheng said with a smile: "Bada Shanren is Zhu Qi's self-name, and he has a characteristic of painting, especially in the late stage of his career, whether it is a character or a flower, bird, fish or beast, all of them 'roll their eyes'." ”

"Hmm, why did he draw 'Roll His Eyes'?" the young girl continued.

Feng Nanzheng explained: "Zhu Qi should belong to a particularly typical school in the entire history of culture and art of the Han Kingdom, called the 'aristocratic and persecutive school of the former dynasty', for example, Li Yu and Li Houzhu, 'Van Gogh of the Han Dynasty' Zhao Mengfu are all from this 'school'. Mr. Yang, am I right?"

"Don't call me 'sir' or 'posterity', just call me Yang Meng. Yang Meng smiled: "You continue." ”

"Then I'll get an axe!" Feng Nanzheng continued to explain to the people around him: "This Zhu Qi is the same as Zhao Mengfu, both of them are the royal family of the previous dynasty, Zhu Qi is a direct descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang, born a descendant of the royal family, it is said that he can recite poetry at the age of eight, and he can paint at the age of eleven." And according to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty back then, the descendants of the royal family did not need to participate in the scientific examination, and he had to take the examination himself and won the show in one fell swoop. ”

"It's a showman. After hearing this, the girl pouted and said, "It is said that poor Xiucai is poor Xiucai." Isn't that great?"

Feng Nanzheng glanced at the girl and said with a smile: "Xiao Xuan, don't be misled by movies and television, thinking that the title of 'Xiucai' is easy to test, but in fact, if you want to become a Xiucai, you must go through the county examination, the government examination, and the academician three exams." The real show talent is good, every day the state gives a liter of rice and fish and fine salt, the official does not need to kneel and kowtow, the county lord wants to play the board and first ask the superior to reform the Xiucai status before he can play, the new official must first understand how many local talents, these people can not touch, and there is no need to pay taxes and do not serve forced labor. Because Xiucai has a high political status, being admitted to Xiucai means that the people who propose to show their relatives have broken through the threshold, and all of them are young ladies from famous families, otherwise they are embarrassed to propose marriage! In ancient times, as long as you were admitted to Xiucai? No matter how poor Xiucai was, he would be richer than you are now. Mr. Yang, am I right?"

Yang Meng smiled: "President Feng is erudite. ”

Feng Nanzheng smiled: "It's just a little involved." Xiao Xuan, this Zhu Qi is the kind of person who is better than you and works harder than you today, and he has the power and talent, so it makes it clear? But when his gorgeous life was about to begin, the Ming Dynasty fell, and Zhu Qi, as a member of the royal family, more than 90 members of the family were slaughtered, and his mother and younger brother escaped by hiding in the cave, but his wife and children died one after another in the process of fleeing. So the trajectory of his life changed dramatically. ”

Yang Meng smiled: "This can be understood as a group of people to touch the cards ready to fight - the landlord, you look at the cards in your hand to start five bomb the landlord, the result is not waiting for you to play the cards, everyone throws the cards do not play the fight - the landlord should play mahjong." ”

That's a brilliant description. Feng Nanzheng said: "Zhu Qi had a poem that could represent his state of mind at that time, how did the poem say?' No donkey, newborn rabbit, broken face, helpless. Don't be sad for the people in the world, and in the end they don't know the way to come. He was only nineteen years old at the time, and he described himself as a donkey with no hair, which showed how complicated he was."

A man next to him said, "Then why did he change his name to Bada Shanren?"

Feng Nanzheng said: "Mr. Yang, please explain this matter to my subordinates, I won't get an axe." ”

Yang Meng smiled slightly: "Actually, it's very simple, he escaped into the empty gate at the age of twenty-three and changed his name to avoid pursuit." And this name change is also learned, people are literati who are not as simple as ordinary people to change their names. What is his name? Zhu Qi! The word "Zhu" has the word "ox" which means "eight", and the word "ear" in the word "hang" means "big"; in ancient times, what did "ox ear" refer to? It was power, and this Zhu Qi let people take away the power, and naturally they lost their "cow ears", so Zhu Qi was no longer Zhu Qi, but "Bada Shanren". ”

"But after talking for a long time, I didn't say why these Bada Shanren painted and rolled their eyes. The girl known as 'Xiao Xuan' said.

This time it was Feng Nanzheng's turn to explain: "Zhu Qian wanted to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty all his life, but 'Xiucai rebelled for three years', and when he was fifty-nine years old, he found that it was basically impossible for Emperor Kangxi to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty during his reign of 21 years, so this guy tore off the monk's robe, walked 200 miles and returned to his hometown Nanchang, and was crazy in the city all day long, but that period was also the time when the artistic level of Zhu Qi's works was the highest. Rolling eyes', what flowers, birds, fish, insects, and characters are all rolled their eyes. There are a lot of hard-working artists in the world, but the Bada Shanren who expresses his mood by 'rolling his eyes' is the only one. ”

Feng Nanzheng continued: "In his later years, the Bada Shanren was too lazy to explain his thoughts to others, and he explained all his thoughts with a blank eye. You look at this painting, you don't just look at it and roll your eyes, but combine it with the whole painting to see its artistic characteristics, and you can also see that this ink is very small, as he said in his own poem, 'there are no more ink spots and more tears'. He has a painting called "Involved", which is completed in only seven or eight strokes, but it is definitely a classic painting among the classics. The same is true of Mr. Yang's "Swimming Fish", where a few strokes outline a fish that rolls its eyes, and then a large blank space is stamped with a seal to complete a painting. He uses small pictures and infinite blank spaces to leave people with room for imagination, that is, the more they look at it, the more flavorful it becomes. ”

"And rolling your eyes!" Xiao Xuan added.

Hearing his words, several people in the room laughed.

The young man on the side said, "President Feng and Mr. Yang are both erudite people. Admire, admire, admire. ”

Feng Nanzheng waved his hand: "It's not strange that I am old enough to understand this, and Mr. Yang is worthy of admiration." You see that he is so successful at such a young age, and this is admirable. ”

Yang Meng waved his hand and said, "It's not that exaggerated, please drink tea." ”

Feng Nanzheng picked up the teacup and took a look at it, tasted it, and sighed directly: "Good tea! The tea soup is light apricot yellow, and the taste is fresh and refreshing, hmm。。。。。。 The soup has a mellow flavor and a fragrant aroma. This is white tea, and the taste tastes like white silver needles。。。。。。 But it's not like Fuding, it's like the taste of Yunnan white tea. Mr. Yang, am I right?"

Yang Meng smiled and shook his head: "In fact, except for white tea, everything else is wrong." ”

"Ugh. Feng Nanzheng was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Yang, I would like to hear about it." ”

Yang Meng explained: "When I built an artificial lake in my backyard, I didn't know how to do greening, so I finally planted some tea trees. It's been a good look in the past few years, but we don't know how to roast tea and ferment it. I think it's a pity to waste these teas, so I simply took them off and put them on the main plaque to dry and make this tea, and it tasted good when I drank it. But there aren't many of them, so just drink and play by yourself. ”

Feng Nanzheng was stunned after hearing this: "The natural conditions of our Handong City are not suitable for the growth of tea trees. How can you grow such good tea?"

Yang Meng smiled: "Maybe it's taken care of by the family." ”

Feng Nanzheng tasted the tea again and said, "Today is an eye-opener, this is really a good place for outstanding people." I have heard that Mr. Yang's calligraphy level is extremely high, I don't know if I can ask for a calligraphy?"

"Of course you can!" Beyond Feng Nanzheng's imagination, Yang Meng was so easy to talk to, and directly agreed to his request.

But when Yang Meng finished writing, everyone couldn't cry or laugh.

The four big words on the paper "can really fool!"
