What Mama Qian said about Beiping came to an end, because Zhang Zhaohua would be going there soon, and there was a lot of time to see and feel it with his own eyes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, the long list of levies has not yet been read, and the list of dowries for the kings and concubines is a continuation of the Song Dynasty, in addition to gold, silk, money, silk, Luo, silk, horses, wine, and "tea hundred catties". This tea really has a great origin.

The fragrant tea in the dowry given by the emperor has very elegant names, called "Qiwo Chengen" and "Taiping Jiarui". This kind of tea is not loose tea, it is group tea.

Tuancha is processed and pressed into cake tea, in the shape of cakes and lumps, those who have drunk Pu'er tea know that it is the kind of thick tea cake that needs to be broken, and there are also round balls, which originated from the invention of the Tang Dynasty The technology of steaming green cakes, after all, the Tang Dynasty had a tribute tea garden, that is, a tea factory, and organized officials to study tea-making technology, so as to promote the continuous reform of tea production. The production process mentioned in a series of "Tea Classics" is: steaming tea, deblocking, pounding tea, molding, patting, molding, drying, perforating, baking, wearing, and sealing tea, tea cakes appear.

In the Song Dynasty, due to the rapid development of social economy, tea-making technology developed faster, and the dragon and phoenix group tea in the form of flakes became popular. Tuan tea has a variety of names, but also mixed with a variety of spices, of course, according to the time of harvesting, the site, the bud shape and the grade, divided into many grades, called "Gangji".

The two group teas in the emperor's dowry ceremony are on the outline, but they are not the best, because the best can not be made now, like the first outline of the "dragon baking tribute new", for the earliest grade, ten days after baking will rush into the tribute to the capital, Su Shi also had a sip of such a group tea and was very happy, wrote a poem to praise "dragon baking this year's masterpiece, the valley curtain since ancient Zhenquan".

Tea fighting is often popular in Tokyo's eunuchs, and whoever has a more expensive tea must always carefully mix the spices and then boast about it. Different from the spicy things such as green onions, ginger, garlic or pepper in the "tea soup" drunk in the Tang Dynasty, the tea soup of the Song Dynasty used "borneol and paste, and mixed with precious fruits and herbs to help it fragrance", and added various precious spices.

This kind of dragon and phoenix group tea was originally too finely made, which required huge manpower and material resources, not to mention that the nobles spent a lot of money to "fight tea" to have a really luxurious lifestyle, and only the people of the Song Dynasty could afford to play, and by the time of the Yuan Dynasty, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty who were born in the northern nomads naturally did not like this too fine and euphemistic tea culture.

Emperor Hongwu of this dynasty is even more annoying, the emperor from the grassroots does not have the elegance of the royal family of the Song Dynasty, he can't taste it and can't drink it, and he can't understand the benefits of this kind of wasting people's power to drink tea.

Therefore, in the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, the emperor decreed that "the dragon group should be stopped, but the bud tea should be picked to advance", so that all parts of the country directly offered bud tea, and the group tea was abolished and scattered tea, which was the way to drink tea in later generations - but there was also a group tea in the palace that Hongwu paid tribute to twenty-four years ago, what should I do, the emperor waved his hand, anyway, all the systems in the court were continued in the Song Dynasty, so the Song Dynasty wedding should be hired for tea, and this thing will be distributed to relatives as a dowry.

So Zhang Zhaohua was fortunate to see the precious group tea, and looked at it carefully in his hand for a long time, but it was just a ball of tea twisted together, which looked like a dry branch, and smelled fragrant.

"This name is actually very good," Zhang Zhaohua put down the group tea and said: "Qiwo Chengen, Taiping Jiarui." ”

"This is a name handed down from the Song Dynasty," Qian Mama said, "and the tea for you is not quite the same as the tea for the princess and the princess." ”

According to Mama Qian, the "Imperial Garden Jade Buds" and "Longevity Dragon Buds" were given to the princess, which were one level higher than those given to Zhang Zhaohua, and the "Dragon and Phoenix Group Tea" was given to the princess, and it was also Miyunlong, which was one level higher than that of the princess and princess.

Zhang Zhaohua didn't know what kind of tea Miyunlong was at first, but later learned that it was actually Da Hong Pao!

The big red robe is a famous treasure in Wuyi rock tea in Fujian Province, which is originally small, and the big red robe that was paid tribute at this time is only the leaves of those tea trees on the rock wall of Jiulong.

In fact, when he heard the name "Da Hong Pao", Zhang Zhaohua suddenly remembered the origin of the name of Da Hong Pao, which happened at this time, it is said that this tea cured Queen Ma's illness, so the emperor gave a red robe and ordered someone to go to Jiulong to drape it on the tea tree to show the dragon's grace, and at the same time collect all the tea to pay tribute.

But when she asked like this, Mama Qian laughed at her.

"There is a disease that can be cured by drinking tea," Qian Mama said, "I believe this." But to cure the queen's illness, this absolutely not. The big red robe refers to the red robe on the champion, which is the champion of Enke in the eighteenth year of Hongwu who was saved by this tea, not the first queen. ”

According to Qian Mama, in the eighteenth year of Hongwu, Ding Xian went to Beijing to take the exam, and suddenly got sick when passing through Wuyi Mountain, and the abdominal pain was unbearable. After being saved, he won the champion, and in order to repay his kindness, the champion wore a red robe with a tea tree, so he got the name of "big red robe".

But at this time, the official name was "Miyun Dragon", and the big red robe was just called so by the locals.

Zhang Zhaohua sighed, but this sound made Mama Qian mistaken, thinking that she thought of the grade of tea to the rank and dignity - this is not what should be thought.

"Even if the Xiu Nu sisters have been together for half a year," Mama Qian said solemnly: "There was no distinction between respect and inferiority back then, and now that the name has been decided, you can't trespass and you can't think about it anymore." ”

She thought about it for a while, and then solemnly persuaded: "Only the name and the instrument, not the dummy." ”

There are only rituals and titles, and they cannot be given to others!

The name and the instrument are linked, the name is the name that a person has, and with a certain name, he can enjoy the corresponding object in the name of the right. What Qian Mama means is that if you are not the princess, you can't enjoy everything that the princess wants, and even if you have a deep relationship with the princess, if you ask her to drink her big red robe, the big red robe has no special meaning - but when it is used to distinguish between the grandson and the prince, she will never give you a drink.

Zhang Zhaohua smiled, she was very grateful to Mama Qian for being so attentive to her, with such a person by her side, Zhang Zhaohua felt down-to-earth.

Actually, she didn't think so.

Concubine Taisun, Ma's, it seems that Ma's should be very glorious, and she really should be glorious, because everyone thinks that Taisun is the future emperor, and she is just the princess of the prince's family, and she will kneel at her feet when she is in the middle palace of Chaohe in the future - however, only she knows, but after a few years, Ma's honor will soon disappear, and the rituals and fame will soon come to naught, thinking of this Zhang Zhaohua is happy in her heart, she always remembers how this hypocritical and vicious woman harmed her.

When she saw Ma, she knew that there was really hatred in this world for no reason, and she had never provoked Ma, but Ma had targeted her among so many people, and then almost harmed her.

I didn't know what happened to Ma's, and I thought I wanted to repay her with my own hands, but now that I know what will happen to her, I have to learn to watch quietly and not speak.

"I know, Mama," Zhang Zhaohua said with a smile, "there is a pair of wild geese in the Taisun Concubine's ceremony, but I don't have them; there are six good horses, and I only have two; she has Gu Gui, and I don't have either." ”

"There are many details that remind me of the difference between me and the princess," Zhang Zhaohua said: "Although the grandson and the prince are cousins, but the names and righteousness are different, I don't dare to trespass at all." ”
