Chapter 425: Mutual Affection
After coming to the restaurant, he saw Dong Huailong sitting on the main seat, Tang Yuan didn't care where he was sitting, what he cared about most was what Zhang Lijing cooked, and looked at the table, Tang Yuan couldn't believe his eyes.
"Auntie, did you do this?" Tang Yuan thought about it for a long time, and decided that it would be more appropriate to call her Auntie.
After Zhang Lijing listened to his question, her beautiful cheeks turned red: "I instructed the chef to make it, come, how about you taste it!"
Tang Yuan was relieved after hearing this, it seemed that he didn't need to eat her dark food today, and at the same time sighed that the two buckets of instant noodles he bought were wasted, and he thought about whether to give it to the little princess for a while, so that she could prepare for emergencies!
After sitting down, Dong Huailong took out a bottle of Moutai from his wine cabinet, and under his greeting, he began to eat.
The little princess peeked at Tang Yuan from time to time, and after meeting his eyes, she immediately lowered her head with a red face, like a girl in Huaichun, which made Tang Yuan quite puzzled, scratching and touching, what else was there to be embarrassed about? Of course, his scratching and touching refers to the time when he rescued her at the beach, as for the scratching and touching when he stole her house for the first time, Tang Yuan had long forgotten it.
After eating, Tang Yuan was called close to his big study by Dong Huailong again, there was a sea of tea in it, and after the two of them sat down, he began to skillfully warm the cup and wake up the tea, looking extremely professional.
"Xiao Tang, have you studied the tea ceremony?" Dong Huailong asked with a smile while scalding tea, as if testing Tang Yuan.
In fact, the tea ceremony originated in China, and the Chinese people, at least before the Tang Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, were the first in the world to drink tea as a way of self-cultivation. This is the earliest extant record of the tea ceremony. It can be seen that the earliest and most complete tea ceremony process is the sencha tea ceremony created by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty. In the Preface to the Tea Banquet on the Third Day of March, Lu Wen made a very vivid description of the elegant atmosphere of the tea banquet and the wonderful charm of tea tasting.
During the Tang and Song dynasties, people were very particular about the environment, etiquette, operation and other tea drinking rituals for drinking tea, and there were some conventions and rituals commonly known as the tea banquet.
The role of tea in self-cultivation also has a very deep understanding, Song Huizong Zhao Ji is a tea lover, he believes that the fragrant taste of tea, can make people leisure and quiet, endless fun: "If the tea is a thing, good at the beauty of Ou Fujian, the spirit of Zhongshan and Chuan, the stagnation of the placket and stagnation, to the clear guide and, then the non-mediocre children can know." Leisurely and clean, high rhyme and quiet ......"
Tang Yuan talked eloquently, the reason why he knew this, and he also wanted to thank the old man, he usually likes to drink tea, so he instilled some knowledge in him from time to time, when he was a child, he didn't feel that the old man was powerful, but as he grew older and expanded his horizons, Tang Yuan found that the old man was an encyclopedia at all, and it seemed that there was nothing in the world that he didn't know.
"Yes, there aren't many young people who know about this now!"
Dong Huailong had a feeling of being amazed, at the beginning, he thought that Tang Yuan was a stunned young man, and he couldn't compare with Li Xiang, the young master of the Li family, but with the retirement of time, he found that his idea was wrong, and it was a big mistake, Tang Yuan not only had the ability, but also the means, it can be said that he now admires this young man more and more.
"As you said, the tea ceremony is our Huaxia, according to records in the Southern Song Dynasty Shaoxi two years of the island country monk Rongxi brought tea from China back to the island country, from then on the island country began to grow tea.
At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zen Master Zhaoming of Nanpu came to Jingshan Temple in Yuhang County, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province to learn scriptures, exchanged the tea banquet rituals of the temple, and introduced the Chinese tea ceremony to the island country for the first time, becoming the earliest disseminator of the Chinese tea ceremony in the island country.
There is a clear record of this in the island country's "Examination of Similar Clusters and Objects": "The beginning of the tea ceremony, in the Zhengyuan Dynasty, Chongfu Temple opened the mountain, and Nanpu Zhaoming was introduced by the Song Dynasty. The island country's "Biography of the High Monks of this Dynasty" also has: "Nanpu Zhaoming returned from the Song Dynasty and brought the tea table and tea props to Chongfu Temple.
It was not until the island country of Toyotomi Hideyoshi that Sen no Rikyu became a senior monk of the island country tea ceremony, that the banner of "tea ceremony" was held high, and the four rules of the tea ceremony were summarized: "harmony, respect, purity, and silence", apparently this basic theory was formed under the influence of the essence of the Chinese tea ceremony, and its main ritual framework specifications still originated from China.
The tea ceremony in Huaxia appeared very early, but it is a pity that although Huaxia put forward the concept of "tea ceremony" very early and continued to practice and explore in this field, it was not able to develop this cause in the name of "tea ceremony" in a clear banner, nor did it standardize the traditional tea ceremony etiquette.
The Chinese tea ceremony can be said to emphasize the spirit and ignore the form. Some scholars believe that the necessary rituals are more important to the banner of the "tea ceremony", and that there is no ceremony just to claim to have a "tea ceremony", although it cannot be said that it is not okay, and it can be praised if there is tea, then it seems to be generalized, and in the end it is also "the way can be the way, the very way".
Making tea is a very simple thing, and it is so simple that you only need two actions: put tea leaves and pour water. But in the tea ceremony, that set of rituals is too complicated or too elaborate, and ordinary people will definitely not make this little thing of daily life so complicated.
In fact, the Chinese tea ceremony is not only satisfied with the invention of tea self-cultivation and the norms of rituals, but more boldly to explore the true meaning of tea for human health, and creatively combine tea with traditional Chinese medicine and other natural raw materials, so that the role of tea in health care can be greatly enhanced, and make it gain a greater space for development, which is the most practical value of the Chinese tea ceremony, and it is also the charm that has been valued and loved by people for thousands of years. ”
Speaking of these times, Dong Huailong was a little excited, it seems that he also hates the island country, no wonder, for a character like him, it is strange that he does not hold a grudge against that period of history!
"Haha, it seems that I am playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong! Uncle Dong has made me gain knowledge again!" Tang Yuan said with a smile, of course he was not a compliment, he had only heard part of what the old man said, and he didn't know anything about the records that Dong Huailong said.
Xiao Tang, I have also heard about what you have done in the capital, we are all Chinese, there is no need to fight to the death and let outsiders take advantage of the loopholes, we should focus on the overall situation of the country!"
The reason why Dong Huailong said this was because he knew who Tang Yuan's opponents were, if one of the families was destroyed, then the rest of the families would not be comfortable, he knew very well how powerful the four major families in the capital were, if they all rose up with each other, then it would definitely damage the interests of Huaxia, which was not what he wanted to see.
And the key to all this is Tang Yuan, so the purpose of calling Tang Yuan over today is to talk to him about these things.
How smart Tang Yuan is, how could he not know what he means, but there are some things that must be done, of course, he will not harm the interests of the country, this is also what he and Prince Long Hao promised, so he looked at Dong Huailong with a smile and said, "Uncle Dong is afraid that I will do something that harms the interests of the country?"
"Yes, the people of Huaxia have finally lived a good life, I don't want to break this balance because of your personal grievances, Huaxia is everyone's Huaxia!" Dong Huailong said seriously.
If these words came out of someone else's mouth, someone would definitely scold him for pretending to be forced, but it would be different when it came out of Dong Huailong's mouth, which made Tang Yuan feel a sense of awe, and his heart was full of emotion, if there were more such characters in Huaxia, why not prosper?
"Uncle Dong, you can rest assured of this, have you forgotten my other identity?" After speaking, he took out the black notebook from his arms.
