Chen Qingdong studied Chinese at university, so he was naturally very interested in traditional Chinese culture, especially poetry. For a while, he also found a notebook to excerpt poems and recite them in the morning.

Because drinking tea is highly respected by Chinese literati and elegant guests, so many celebrities have left tea-related poems, Chen Qingdong has also read a lot, one of his favorites is Bai Letian's "Ask Liu Nineteen", in which the language is shallow and deep and meaningful artistic conception, so that Chen Qingdong has been very admired.

It's just that since the third year of college, due to the acceleration of the pace of life, Chen Qingdong has not read much poetry, and now in addition to this famous poem, Chen Qingdong really can't think of a complete tea-related poem for a while.

However, this kind of scene, if you can't memorize a song, it's really not easy to deal with Sun Liangyong.

Chen Qingdong racked his brains and really came up with a famous poem, although the theme of this poem is not to recite tea, but fortunately, there is something to do with it, it is better than not being able to memorize it, so Chen Qingdong gently cleared his throat and foreshadowed and said: "Director Sun, I am only a shallow learner, and my thinking is not as agile as you, and I can't think of too appropriate poems for a while.

Sun Liangyong smiled: "What's this, aren't we holding any commentary meeting, what kind of poem, recite it?"

Chen Qingdong said: "The taste of the world is as thin as a veil, who makes the horseback rider Jinghua." Xiaolou listened to the spring rain overnight, and sold apricot blossoms in the Ming Dynasty in the deep alleys. The dwarf paper is oblique and idle, and the fine milk plays tea in the sunny window. Plain clothes don't sigh in the dust, and they can go home as if they were Qingming. ”

Sun Liangyong laughed after hearing this: "This is Lu Fangweng's "Lin'an Spring Rain and Early Ji", but Lu Fangweng's poem is mainly to lament the cold world and the unsmooth political career, not with tea as the theme, but it also involves tea, which can be regarded as barely passing." ”

Chen Qingdong smiled and said, "Thank you Director Sun for passing the test." ”

Chen Hongbing was a little nervous, he didn't like to study since he was a child, and he had never memorized ancient poems, even famous poems like "Silent Night Thoughts" that primary school students could recite completely, let alone ancient poems with the theme of tea.

Therefore, he was very worried about Sun Liangyong's whim, and also asked him to recite an ancient poem with the theme of tea.

Although during this period of time, Chen Hongbing has made great determination to change himself, actively join the WTO, and force himself to learn a little thicker and blacker, and say some scenes, but because he really lacks knowledge, he is very inferior to the aspect of uneducated, and he really does not want to make a fool of himself in this regard.

However, Sun Liangyong did not talk to Chen Hongbing about the meaning of tea, but chatted with Chen Qingdong very enthusiastically: "Qingdong, if you want to talk about ancient poems related to tea, in addition to this poem "Ask Liu Nineteen", there is also a poem, which can be called my favorite. Moreover, the author of this poem is a layman monk. ”

Sun Liangyong stopped talking here, obviously meaning to let Chen Qingdong pave the way for him, although Chen Qingdong didn't have much interest in talking about this topic, but he still had to follow his words and said: "Oh, Director Sun said to listen, let us also have a long experience." ”

Sun Liangyong said with interest: "This monk is called Jiaoran, and he is a famous monk of the Tang Dynasty. ”

For Chen Qingdong, an outstanding graduate of the Chinese Department of Huaihai University, he still knows the name of Jiaoran, this person is a generation of famous monks in the Tang Dynasty, but also a generation of strange people, and he has a close relationship with a generation of tea saint Lu Yu, and some people say that in fact, Jiaoran's achievements in the tea ceremony surpass Lu Yu, which can be called the ancestor of the tea ceremony.

In addition to the tea ceremony, Kyaukran also wrote a lot of poems, and was known as one of the three great poets and monks, along with the other two famous poet monks Guan Xiu and Qi.

Although Chen Qingdong knows Kyaukran quite well, in order to highlight Sun Liangyong's knowledge, Chen Qingdong still said: "It's really ashamed, although I studied Chinese in college, I really don't know Kyaukran's name." ”

Sun Liangyong laughed and said: "Qingdong, it turns out that you are still a high-achieving student who graduated from the Chinese Department, if you are studying other majors, it would be fine, but you are studying in the Chinese Department, and you still don't know the name of Kyaukran, it is really unforgivable." ”

Chen Qingdong said: "Ashamed! Ashamed!"

Sun Liangyong said: "Speaking of this poet monk Jiaoran, but also one of the most famous poets of the Tang Dynasty, his achievements in the tea ceremony are not at all under the tea saint Lu Yu, but Jiaoran is an outsider, not as active as Lu Yu to enter the WTO, love fame, so when people now mention the ancestor of the tea ceremony, they think of Lu Yu, which is really an injustice to Jiaoran." ”

Chen Qingdong made a look of worship and said, "Director Sun is really knowledgeable. ”

Sun Liangyong looked very happy and said: "My favorite poem is a poem written by this monk Jiaoran. ”

Hearing this name, Chen Qingdong thought that he had also read this poem, and he only remembered that this poem had a unique charm and a distinctive artistic style, but he didn't remember what it was written.

This time, without waiting for Chen Qingdong to pave the way for him, Sun Liangyong chanted by himself: "The Yue people left me to make the river tea, and I got the gold tooth and the golden tripod." Plain porcelain snow color is ethereal and fragrant, how similar to the immortal qiongrui syrup. A drink cleanses the sleep, and the love is refreshing. Drink my mind again, and suddenly sprinkle light dust like rain. Three drinks will be the way, why bother to break the troubles. This thing is unknown to the world, and people in the world drink more self-deception. Sadly looked at Bi Zhuo's urn at night, and smiled at Tao Qian's fence. Cui Hou sipped endlessly, and sang an amazing song. I know that the tea ceremony is all true, only Danqiu has to be like this. ”

This poem is a bit long, and the words are relatively awkward, when Sun Liangyong recites this poem, the words are not particularly clear, Chen Qingdong because he has a good literary background, and he has also read this poem, so it sounds good, and some feel the witty charm of a generation of poetry and tea monks.

However, for Chen Hongbing, who has a low level of education, it was very uncomfortable to listen to Sun Liangyong recite this poem, and he finally listened to it patiently, and had to compliment Sun Liangyong with Chen Qingdong for his knowledge, outstanding memory, elegant quality, and other hypocritical and obedient words.

Sun Liangyong listened to the compliments of the two and said with a smile: "The two brothers are really ridiculous! There is a reason why I like tea." Speaking of which, I have worked for most of my life, but I have never achieved anything, and after a long time, I have gradually lost my sharpness, so I am in love with the tea ceremony, just to have a clean heart. ”

Chen Qingdong listened to Sun Liangyong's words, and didn't understand what he meant, so he said: "Director Sun is really too humble, speaking of which Director Sun is in the prime of life, it is the time to do business, and there is a broader world in the future." ”

Sun Liangyong laughed: "Brother, this is Chrysostom Yuyan!"

Chen Hongbing listened to the conversation between the two of them, and he couldn't interject at all, and he couldn't figure out what Sun Liangyong meant, so he was more anxious.

Fortunately, after Sun Liangyong recited this poem and received compliments, he finally stopped torturing them with ancient poems.

Since they don't drink, they just eat and talk, but without the stimulation of alcohol, the meal can't raise the atmosphere, and the meal is eaten quickly, and it will be almost full before it happens.

Chen Qingdong tried to turn the topic to the loan several times, but every time he mentioned a reason, Sun Liangyong gently changed the topic.

Sun Liangyong always had this attitude, and Chen Qingdong and Chen Hongbing were a little anxious.

After Sun Liangyong ate a piece of fried lamb, he picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and then said with some meaning: "Two brothers, I am in my forties this year, and I originally thought that I should retire after a few more years, but I didn't expect the leader to add this burden to me and let me be the director of this credit union, especially after Director Yue's accident just now, the pressure on my shoulders is great!"

Chen Qingdong couldn't guess the meaning of Sun Liangyong's words, so he didn't speak for the time being.

Sun Liangyong continued: "In our credit union system, when I reach the age of 50, I should almost retire, look at my age, how many years can I work? ”

Chen Hongbing was even more breathless than Chen Qingdong, and when he heard Sun Liangyong say that he wanted to "plan retirement", he thought that Sun Liangyong was hinting at him, so he said: "Director Sun, don't worry, I'm not a person who doesn't know the rules......"

Sun Liangyong stretched out his hand to interrupt Chen Hongbing's words and said, "I don't understand what Mr. Chen said. ”

Chen Hongbing's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but glance at Chen Qingdong.

Chen Qingdong saw Sun Liangyong say this, and also frowned secretly, thinking that Sun Liangyong had been hiding it today, and he couldn't see his true meaning clearly, and now he had talked about it anyway, so he simply talked about it more openly, and said: "Director Sun, we invite you to come over today, mainly for the loan of the farm." Director Sun, please rest assured, none of our brothers are people who don't know the rules......"

Unexpectedly, Sun Liangyong still didn't want to talk about this topic, waved his hand at Chen Qingdong, and said, "Brother Chen, let's only talk about feelings at dinner today, not work." Isn't it nice for us to talk about tea just now, why do we have to talk about those mundane things, right?"

Chen Qingdong thought to himself, if it weren't for these mundane things, who would have so much leisure to talk about tea and Taoism with you? But when dealing with Sun Liangyong today, Sun Liangyong's performance really made Chen Qingdong a little puzzled, and he couldn't help but be very worried.

Despite this, Chen Qingdong could only follow Sun Liangyong's words and said: "Director Sun, then let's only talk about feelings today, not work." ”

Sun Liangyong smiled and said, "That's right!"
