Chapter 18O On the Tea Ceremony

Wang Kang said that if Zheng Zheng wants to break the things, he can also say them very smoothly, anyway, as long as he pulls it up to the mysterious and mysterious "Dao", it will naturally make people feel unclear. But Zheng Zheng's old man has educated Zheng Zheng that even if he doesn't drink tea in the future, don't talk about any "Tao" when drinking tea, when Zheng Zheng asked why, the old man said with a coaxing expression, "The Tao is wrong as soon as you say it, the more you say it, the more wrong it is, it's better not to say it, the interest in your heart is real." ”

So firstly, his own style of turtle really has nothing to do with the tea ceremony, and secondly, he is also influenced by the old man and does not like to talk about any mysterious "Tao", so Zheng Zheng drank tea there by himself when Wang Kang was talking about it, which was also very relaxed and happy. However, this cup of tea, which is only the size of a watch dial, really can't keep up with the rhythm of Zheng Zheng, who likes to use a space cup, after drinking a cup of tea, Zheng Zheng pondered that it was a pity: Damn, it is better to bring a space cup over, this smoking is too dry mouth, and a small cup of tea will not quench your thirst......

After Wang Kang finished speaking, Old Man Xu applauded lightly on the side, and his face was undisguised with appreciation: "Okay, good." It's not easy to have such an understanding of the tea ceremony at such a young age. The young people now can't bear to ponder this, like Xiao Wang, it's hard to find it......"

"You're overrated. Wang Kang received such a compliment, but there was no particularly smug expression on his face, and he was still respectful when he spoke.

Old man Xu waved his hand: "How can it be regarded as an excess, you are humble, you are humble, you are humble......" As he was talking, Old Man Xu looked at Zheng Zheng, who was sitting on the side, and the tea in the cup had already been drunk, and said: "Xiao Zheng, you are also a person who follows Lao Bai, and you should have learned a lot of Lao Bai's elegance." Come, tell me about it. ”

Zheng Zheng, who was thinking about how to refill his cup, was stunned when he heard Old Man Xu say this, but he immediately reacted. Zheng Zheng glanced at everyone's faces, and felt like a mirror in his heart: This is to compare himself with Wang Kang, he not only represents himself, but also represents Bai Peng's face. Old man Xu also took this opportunity to let Wang Kang step on himself and improve his image......

It's not okay if you don't continue this thing, but it's not easy to take it if you take it. I don't know how much Wang Kang said before was really his own feelings, but what he said explained the tea ceremony quite thoroughly, and Zheng Zheng had to overlap with his statement no matter what he said. With Wang Kang in front, if Zheng Zheng's talk is a little similar to Wang Kang's statement, no matter what, others will think that Zheng Zheng is picking people's teeth.

Zheng Zheng glanced at the smiling old man Xu again, and said secretly in his heart: Either it is the old fox and the old fox, this murder is not bloodless at all, and people have to send their heads up to kill themselves...... It's a goddamn trick.

Old man Xu's approach Zheng Zheng can also understand, he is not deliberately targeting himself, but this matter just happened to fall on Zheng Zheng. If Zheng Zheng is the old man Xu at this time, Zheng Zheng may also do this kind of thing to enhance the prestige and face of the person he fancies. So from the bottom of his heart, Zheng Zheng can understand Old Man Xu's approach, and he can't talk about hating him for doing this.

However, understanding is understanding, but Zheng Zheng categorically cannot let Old Man Xu get his wish.

Zheng Zheng smiled, looked at the smiling old man Xu, and said without changing his face: "Quenching your greasy and quenching your thirst is a good thing." ”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions on the faces of everyone present were extremely wonderful. Bai Peng's face was an expression of wanting to die, looking at Zheng Zheng's continuous pouting and shaking his head, how hard and hard the expression was, the expressions on the faces of those buyers were quite surprised, there was a subtle expression that wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, and at the same time, he had to take into account Old Man Xu's face was tense - let's put it this way, the expressions on the faces of those buyers were almost the same as when they were constipated.

Old man Xu looked at Zheng Zheng with a smile, his eyes were strange, but there was no hostility, more like he was a little curious about Zheng Zheng, and Wang Kang, who had just said a lot of truth, raised his eyebrows in surprise when Zheng Zheng just spoke, and then looked at Zheng Zheng with a smile, without the slightest smug expression of "this turtle is lost".

The expressions of everyone in the private room were complicated, and after Zheng Zheng said this, he lit a cigarette and did not speak.

After being silent for a while, Old Man Xu asked with a smile: "Is there only one sentence? That's an interesting thing to say. ”

Zheng Zheng nodded, flicked the cigarette ash, pointed to the tea set on the table, and said: "These teapots, teacups, teaneedles, teaspoons and other things are indeed professional enough, Uncle Xu, the way you cleaned up that pot of tea just now is also very good, and the taste of this tea is also good." It's just that no matter how this tea is served, it is for one purpose in the end, that is, to drink tea. ”

"I just talked about the tea ceremony...... Once something is stained with the word "Tao", it becomes mysterious and mysterious, and it reveals a high-end foreign atmosphere on the grade, in order to show the high-end foreign atmosphere on the grade, there is a very heavy sense of ritual tea pouring and tea making techniques, that is, tea art. As long as this means is put out, even people who don't know tea will know that this is very awesome. ”

As soon as these words came out, there were several people with bad faces, including Bai Peng.

However, Zheng Zheng didn't look at everyone's faces, and continued: "Let's go back and talk about the 'Tao' thing." Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" says well, the Tao is very Taoist. There are many ways to understand this sentence, but I'll just say the one I understand.

I pondered that Lao Tzu was saying: the Tao can be spoken, but it is not the Tao spoken by ordinary people, nor is it the Tao set off by formalized things, this 'Dao' is completely different from the 'Dao' that has not yet been spoken, that is, the Tao can only exist in the heart, and it is wrong to say it. ”

"Let's talk about the tea art thing, is the tea art thing the tea ceremony? Obviously not, to put it bluntly, this is just a twisted thing, but through a strong sense of ritual to set off the high-end foreign atmosphere on the grade of such a forced posture. What phoenix nodded, what Su Qin carried the sword, what Han Xin ordered the troops...... It's just a formality, is there anything next to the Tao?"

After a pause, Zheng Zheng took a puff of cigarette and said: "The complicated tea art is to use a sense of ritual to set off such a thing as 'Dao', and to talk about Tao when drinking tea is also for the mysterious concept of 'Dao', which seems to be to explore the truth in a cup of tea, but in fact, it has digressed." What is tea?

Is there a tea ceremony? Yes, I believe there is. But can we conclude from the discussion that the 'tea ceremony' is about? I think it's better to forget it. Saying 'tea ceremony' in this atmosphere with a sense of ritual is almost the same as going astray. ”

"Lofty talk will inevitably degenerate into useless talk, and mysterious things are easy to fall into the void, what is the meaning? Isn't it just pretending to be forced to make a pot of tea and have a 'tea ceremony'?

When it comes to what a real tea ceremony should be, I don't know, and I don't dare to say it, because it's wrong to say it, and it's what I feel in my heart. But if you have to say it, I think in the end it still falls on the four words of 'quenching greasy and thirsty', whether it is a peddler or a layman, you can make a cup of tea after a meal or drink it with a cigarette, and whether you drink it is 'full of stars', 'high foam' or Longjing before the rain, it is all for your own taste, which can show some of the "Tao" of the purpose of Pudu the world, everyone is happy. ”

While speaking, Zheng Zheng stood up and took the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, and after speaking, he took the tea and drank it all, and then took a puff of cigarette comfortably. He puffed smoke and smiled at the other people with different colors: "A little shallow opinion, don't laugh." ”

When he sat down, Zheng Zheng saw Wang Kang looking at him with a smile out of the corner of his eye, and he nodded and smiled at Wang Kang very gracefully and sat down. And Wang Kang also nodded lightly to Zheng Zheng, maintaining a very decent smile on his face.

Whatever the reason, neither of the two men who were destined to stand on opposite sides in this matter and in the future, but neither of them showed any hostility towards the other. The reason is very simple, that is because neither of them is a person who is moody, no matter what is calculated in their hearts, unless necessary, they will not show anything on their faces.

Zheng Zheng understood this, and he also knew that Wang Kang was almost the same kind of person as himself, so he would not lower his guard because of this apparent peace.

And Wang Kang may not have known what Zheng Zheng's role was, nor did he know Zheng Zheng's identity, but after Zheng Zheng's words, he understood one thing: Zheng Zheng was used against him. After understanding this, Wang Kang will not despise Zheng Zheng at all.

Bai Peng glanced at Zheng Zheng, who was smoking by himself, with complicated eyes, and then looked at Old Man Xu's face. Old man Xu seemed to be thinking, but he couldn't tell whether he was happy or annoyed on his face. Bai Peng pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "Uncle Xu, the child is not sensible, don't worry about him." ”

There are many places in Zheng Zheng's words just now that he doesn't respect Old Man Xu very much, although he doesn't say Old Man Xu by name, but it is equivalent to firing a map cannon, and Old Man Xu is also within the scope of this map cannon, and it is inevitable that he will be injured by mistake.

"Hey, Lao Bai, where are you talking about? ”

Old man Xu came back to his senses, waved his hand at Bai Peng, and said: "What this Xiao Zheng said is very reasonable, although it is vulgar, but it is from vulgar to elegant, and then from vulgar to vulgar." If you want to talk about the realm, hehe...... I'm just 'mountains are not mountains, water is not water' and this Xiao Zheng is already in the realm of 'mountains are still mountains, water is still water'. There aren't many young people who can have this kind of realm......"

Old man Xu looked back at Zheng Zheng, with a look of appreciation on his face: "You, very good." ”
