74 The Prince's Covenant
In the private room of the Chinese-style hotel, Yelena was dressed in a rose-red fox fur jacket skirt, with a black fur collar raised very high, which made her face smaller, her complexion whiter, and the lipstick on her lips was much darker red, plus her cold face, it was a little more weird. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info but she opened the window at this time, looking at the people outside the window, as if back to the past, the master is still there, she smiled to buy snacks, and smiled to please the master and his wife. They all like to eat snacks and snacks.
When Fujita entered the door, he saw her back, and her long black hair was the longest and most beautiful hair he had ever seen, black and straight, like a waterfall. As beautiful as poetry, Fujita Ichiro saw such a figure, he couldn't help but want to get closer, and when he saw the rose-red tweed cloak on the back of the chair, he couldn't help but touch it, picked it up, and secretly put it on his nose and smelled it, it was so fragrant, he approached slowly, and wanted to put it on for Yelena, but he didn't want Yelena to turn around at this time,
"Yelena......" Fujita Ichiro muttered, his voice was very soft, he was still holding Yelena's cloak in his hand, Yelena's appearance was originally suitable for both Chinese and Western, but a Chinese-style dress, oriental temperament, but with a pair of purple eyes, coupled with peerless perfect facial features and flawless skin and hair, then people who looked at the past will only have one feeling, monster! But the more dangerous a woman is, the more attractive she is to men. At this time, in the eyes of Fujita Ichiro, or His Royal Highness the Prince, he is even more enthusiastic, he wants to have her, even if it is to trap her, he is willing to do it, as long as he gets her, even if he only has a pair of skins, even if it is only for a short time, he is willing.
Yelena glanced at him and said, "Mr. Fujita." After a pause, he continued, "Or should I call you, Your Excellency." "At this time, Fujita Ichiro, wearing the uniform of the Japanese army, will be shining stars, it is difficult to ignore.
Fujita wanted to say something, but Yelena didn't look forward to it, but turned around and closed the window, as if she didn't see him holding his cloak, and made it to the side of the square table, which was a place to drink tea, and a round table was placed in the room, which could seat many people, but obviously Yelena didn't mean to stay to eat.
Obviously, Fujita had prepared it in advance, and at this time there were chairs on each side of the small square table, and a set of tea sets were placed on the table, and it was a full set of tea sets. But at this time, there was something on the table that Fujita had never seen, a very delicate tin can, which must have been brought by Yelena. He sat down and said,
"I wanted you to taste the tea I made for you, the Japanese tea ceremony, but it's so famous, I think you've tasted it."
Yelena picked up the cup on the table, turned it around, frowned, and said,
"I have been in China for so many years, I am a master of traditional Chinese medicine and a master of Chinese culture. For tea, no less than you. ”
"Oh? So what tea did Yelena bring me? ”
"It's just that my favorite flower tea, jasmine tea, jasmine almost represents China. It's one of my favorites. With that, Yelena put the teapot in front of Fujita.
In front of Yelena, Fujita opened the tea can, the lid was tight, opened it, and immediately smelled a very fresh and long jasmine fragrance, this fragrance filled the nose, but it was definitely not pungent, and even had a feeling of physical and mental comfort, and couldn't help but sigh, "Good tea, really good tea, I don't know where Yelena you got it from?" ”
Yelena smiled and said, "There are many places where flower tea is produced in China, and each place is different, and the one I like is from Sichuan." ”
"That's nice, but Yelena doesn't seem to like the Japanese tea ceremony?"
Fujita obviously forced Yelena to express her position, Yelena still had a cold face, a faint look, her eyes stayed on the cup, and said, "Chinese rarely call anything Tao. The word Tao is very sacred in traditional culture, and the highest praise for someone's skill is "skill is close to Tao". Note that it is close to the Tao!! There are very few things that really dare to call themselves the Tao. Saying this, Fujita seemed to disagree, but still tried his best to endure it, Yelena continued,
"Before Lu Yu wrote the Book of Tea in the Tang Dynasty, China, as the origin of the tea plant, had a long history of using this plant.
It was the appearance of Lu Yu that raised the tea in firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea to the level of obsession with the government and the opposition, and raised tea drinking from a daily life to a spiritual level and a cultural system.
The Japanese tea ceremony originated in the Tang Dynasty in China, that is to say, Japan first absorbed from China is already a complete cultural system about tea summarized by Lu Yu. Although this cultural system is centered on tea, it is not limited to the matter of drinking tea.
Therefore, it can be said that the Japanese tea ceremony and the Chinese tea ceremony are not the same in terms of the starting point.
Since Japan is not the origin of tea trees, Japan's tea trees were first brought to China to cultivate, basically have been artificially cultivated relatively mature varieties, and Japan's suitable areas for tea planting are much narrower than China, and the geographical environment is not as different as China's various tea regions, so it is relatively single.
China is different, because the origin of tea trees is in China, so that the cultivation and domestication of tea plants have continued for a long time in China, and Chinese have made different attempts in tea planting, breeding and tea processing. It is precisely because of the above-mentioned variety advantages that Chinese tea has the opportunity to make a variety of tea leaves of different quality through different processing techniques on the basis of rich tea tree resources. ”
When Yelena said this, Fujita's face was already ugly, and it was obvious that he thought Yelena was sarcastic about him, Yelena continued,
"China's tea art is not just the skill of making tea, but a complete system from breeding, planting, processing to final brewing and drinking, each tea-producing region has its own unique tea varieties, and has its corresponding set of planting, processing, brewing system. This system of tea products, which is based on different tea plants in different regions, is the most important component of the Chinese tea ceremony. To ignore this and limit the Chinese tea ceremony to the front of the tea table, above the tea tray, is to underestimate Chinese tea. ”
Fujita snorted coldly and said, "In your eyes, do you look down on Japanese tea ceremony?" ”
It seems that she is about to draw a knife, if it weren't for her own depression, if it weren't for the other party wearing a military uniform, I'm afraid Yelena would have given a smile, Yelena raised her eyes and continued, "The traditional Japanese tea ceremony also has strict requirements for the taste of tea soup, but this requirement is not just about the taste of sensory experience, but through a series of ritualized procedures, this pursuit of taste is transformed into a pursuit of "taste" other than taste, and it is also the pursuit of this "taste". As a result, although the Japanese tea ceremony has inherent limitations in breadth, it has developed greatly in depth.
To use a metaphor, Chinese tea culture is like the leaves on the tea tree, which is the basis of all tea-related cultural existence, while the Japanese tea ceremony is like a camellia, although people can't make a cup of fragrant tea from flowers, it can bring other experiences. This is a fair assessment, but Fujita is very dissatisfied with this statement and Yelena's reflection.
Yelena looked at the water in the small pot and cleaned her hands beside her, and then started the brewing process of a set of Chinese tea, Yelena's fingers were slender and white, her movements were elegant, and her demeanor was serene. Let Fujita look fascinated, as if sitting opposite is a Japanese lady who thought it was a thousand years ago, and in the heart of every man, there is an ancient love dream, there is an ancient goddess dream.
Yelena put the brewed tea in front of Fujita, and left a cup in front of herself, smelling the fragrance in the air, closing her eyes, savoring it carefully, Fujita sighed, and then said,
"How rare it is to be able to have a moment of tranquility in such a world. Is that right? ”
Yelena slowly opened her eyes and said, "Indeed. Led Fujita to continue,
Fujita looked at the tea in his hand, he liked it very much, he liked it so much that he wanted to swallow it all in his stomach, Yelena in front of him, gave him the same feeling, and said, "Last time you were caught, I heard that you mentioned me, in fact, you should know very well in your heart that I can provide you with protection, provide you with a sense of security, I can give you such tranquility, and no one will disturb your life again." ”
"Everything, there is a price, so what are the conditions for getting your protection, for a peaceful life, from the war? Betraying my motherland, betraying my mentor, betraying people's conscience, and even betraying the love that I most desire as a woman and the pursuit of building a beautiful family. Is that right? "Yelena's meaning is very clear, and the other party's meaning is also clear, to put it bluntly, you are my mistress, and I will protect you. also politely said what kind of pressure will be carried behind this proposal, or rather, it is not pressure, because it is said that it is pressure, and it can only be said on the premise that Yelena is willing to commit herself to this devil.
"Yelena, I have protected you far more than you think, do you think that after you have done so many things, you can still be so safe and sound, how much effort did it take me?"
Yelena knew in her heart that if she really knew what she had done, I was afraid that Fujita would be a prince, and there would be no way to protect her. Yelena knew that this was a real showdown, so she poured another cup of tea for Fujita in a hurry, and added a cup herself, saying,
"You didn't have an open invitation, you already gave me face and thought about me. I'm grateful. However, I don't think you must know what the price you will pay if you provoke me, or if something happens to me. Fujita, I dare to come here alone, but not by those few bodyguards, let alone by relying on Shanghai here. I still have my hole cards, and you know them, but you don't know what my hole cards are. Given that we had been friends, I could advise that if I were provoked, Japan in China would lose no less than five divisions. If I die, I promise, Japan will disappear from the face of the earth within three years. ”
"You're alarmist."
"Try it. Or we can make a bet and see if you can get out of here. ”
Fujita's face flushed, and he said angrily, "You set up an ambush? ”
"No, that's not my habit."
"You were poisoned?"
"Hmm...... Poisoning is also acceptable. Do you want to try it? Yelena smiled for the first time,
Fujita narrowed his eyes and said for a long time, "I have read the report that someone used an unknown weapon to put my soldiers into a coma and freeze to death on the battlefield. It's your masterpiece, right? ”
Yelena still smiled and didn't speak. At this time, Fujita didn't know how to react, two or three hundred people were anesthetized, how did this happen? There were also exploding tanks and trucks, and Tengtian's heart was even more frightened.
Yelena put down the teacup at this time and said, "You are wearing a military uniform, and you have the heart to make tea for me, this is a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other, but I do things and live with my heart, if I can't, it's better to live than to die, I can't be friends with you and the army you delegate, whether you can become a real enemy, see what you do." I'm Soviet, and you didn't name me to make trouble, even if there was hostility, it was limited. But I also hope that you can understand such a tacit understanding. ”
"In other words, if there was a war between the Soviet Union and Japan, or if we exposed your life in broad daylight, all that would change, and you would come to the stage, wouldn't you?"
Yelena nodded, "Everyone has things that they can't give up and can't abandon, and sometimes, even if an individual has great ability, he can't stop the trend of the times after all." No one can do anything. ”
Fujita was anxious, stretched out his hand, held Yelena's hand that was not holding the tea, and said, "Yelena, you know that I love you. ”
"You also know that from the moment I met you, I had great prejudices." Yelena didn't hide, she didn't get angry, but the words she said were heartbreaking,
Fujita's hand grasped tighter, both hands held Yelena's hand, and said eagerly, "Yelena, as long as you agree, as long as you want, I can take you away, leave the battlefield, leave the army, and even leave Japan, as long as you like, we can live in the United States." You'll never know how passionate my love for you is, and this feeling torments me, I've tried, but I really can't get rid of it. ”
Yelena dipped her finger in the tea, wrote two words on the table, 'wabi-sabi' and then stood up, took her cloak, and said, "Farewell." ”
'Fujita' looked at the two words on the table, and then at Yelena, after all, he didn't say anything, just looked at Yelena stupidly, until she left. Wabi-sabi is a thought, an aesthetics, and a worldview. The essence of the Japanese tea ceremony, in simple terms, refers to an intuitive way of life that emphasizes the discovery of beauty in imperfection and the acceptance of nature's cycle of life and death. It originates from the three seals of Hinayana Buddhism, namely impermanence, selflessness, nirvana silence, and especially impermanence. It's just that these two words represent too many meanings. Fujita also received enough answers.
