Chapter 184: The Order of Tea Ceremony
"Nothing, Mom, let me come!" Hearing Zheng Huilan's words, Lin Jinghan suppressed her laughter and patted her grandmother's hand gently, the old lady did not stubbornly grasp it this time, let go of Lin Jinghan's hand, Lin Jinghan got up and took the tray in Zheng Huilan's hand, put the tray on the coffee table, and then took out a few teacups, rinsed them three times with piping hot tea, and then lifted the teapot, poured eight teacups in turn, and then held one half of the teacup in her right hand, held the bottom of the cup with her left hand, and put the first cup of tea in front of the old lady.
"Grandma, you drink tea!"
"Good, good!" The old lady applauded excitedly, and some couldn't wait to pick up the teacup, gently blew the tea noodles, and blew up a curling mist.
"Grandma, slow down, it's okay." Lin Jinghan saw that the old lady seemed to be about to drink the tea regardless of the temperature and hurriedly stopped it, she gave the tea because she felt the love of her family and elders, she didn't want to let the people who loved her be hurt because of her relationship, then she was really to blame.
"Hehe, it's okay, grandma knows how to measure, just because our Hanhanjing's tea is too fragrant, grandma can't wait!" The old lady smiled happily, that kind appearance made Lin Jinghan sound the grandma of the director of the orphanage, Lin Jinghan believed that her grandmother would definitely be able to talk to the grandma of the dean.
It's just that the old lady's words made Lin Jinghan a little embarrassed, this tea was made by her mother, not her, she just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha.
"Grandpa, you drink tea!" Lin Jinghan held the teacup and put it in front of the old man, with big amber eyes, looking at the old man who exuded an elegant temperament between her gestures, Lin Jinghan thought in her heart, her mother's maiden home should be a scholarly family!
"Okay, okay, girl, grandpa has been waiting for you for fifteen years, and finally, I finally let my grandfather wait!" The old man didn't serve the tea first, but reached out and touched Lin Jinghan's face, looking at Lin Jinghan's big amber eyes, he remembered that Lin Jinghan was two or three years old, and he also looked at him with these beautiful and clear eyes, and called him grandfather sweetly, he always thought that he couldn't wait to see his good granddaughter again.
"Grandpa, I'm back, I will always be with you and make up for the days I owe in the past fifteen years!" Hearing similar words from the old man's mouth again, Lin Jinghan only felt tears welling up, thinking that at the beginning, grandpa also said the same.
Lin Jinghan turned her head to look at her grandfather who was sitting in the middle, suppressed the surging tears, and showed a bright smile to the old man, which was also said to the old man.
"Okay, okay, even for the sake of the girl's words, grandpa and I have to live a few more years!" The old man picked up the teacup and said loudly, the curling mist was just enough to block the mist flickering under the old man's eyes.
The old man saw his baby granddaughter smiling so brightly at him, and the trace of unhappiness he felt because the baby did not have the first tea to salute him disappeared in an instant, and his hard face instantly eased, revealing a gentle smile to his baby granddaughter that seemed frightened to outsiders.
Why are you afraid? Because the old man Lin is notoriously hard-blooded, except for those old friends, he may laugh heartily, but that smile is a hearty laugh, there will be no such gentle smile at all, and at other times the old man is very strict, young people will involuntarily become strict and cautious in front of him, as long as the old man is not angry, it is all good, how dare you expect the old man to laugh, let alone smile gently.
"Grandpa, it's not about living a few more years, it's about living a long life, grandpa, grandma, grandpa, you all have to live a long life!" It's just a few more years, how can it be enough, now that she is here, there are so many cherished medicinal materials, it is only a matter of time before she advances to a senior alchemist, when the time comes, she must refine the best pill, so that her relatives can be safe, healthy and long-lived!
"What about the girl, as a teacher?" Chen Lao has been watching quietly from the side, originally didn't want to say much, waiting for his baby apprentice to talk about it after the recognition meeting, but now, hearing that his baby apprentice wishes a long life and a hundred years old, there is no one of his own, Chen Lao is gone, isn't he an old man? Could it be that his precious apprentice doesn't want him to live a long life?
Chen Lao's sudden opening of his mouth made all the people in the living room look over, for this old man who was arranged by Lin Jinghui to the old man's side, they were quite curious, and the person who could sit side by side with the old man was not ordinary.
And the word "for the teacher" also made the people in the living room hear it quite clearly, and their hearts moved, and they knew a little, if it was Lin Jinghan's master, then it was okay to sit with the old man, but I didn't know if he was the master who taught Lin Jinghan anything?
"Master, you drink tea!" Lin Jinghan first brought the teacup and put it in front of Chen Lao, and then looked at Chen Lao with a smile, his voice was quite gentle, so gentle that Chen Lao couldn't help but tremble, and his hand subconsciously stroked his snow-white beard.
"Master, do you still need an apprentice for you to give you a lifespan? Or do you think that with your current skills, you won't be able to live a hundred years yet?"
"Hehe, this tea is so fragrant, so fragrant, it deserves to be a national treacherous!" Chen Lao took the cup of tea in front of him, regardless of whether the temperature would be hot, and drank it directly, decisively changing the topic.
Woo, why is he so stupid that he forgot about his cultivation? According to his current cultivation, it is no problem to live to be one hundred and twenty years old, why did his brain suddenly punch in and go to jealousy? Chen Lao lowered his head and seemed to be drinking tea seriously, but his heart was roaring endlessly, in front of the apprentice's family, the first time they met, they were embarrassed, woo!
The dialogue between Lin Jinghan and Chen Lao is quite simple, just two sentences, but it can make people catch a lot of information.
First of all, this old man has a good relationship with their baby and is very close!
Secondly, the identity of this old man must not be simple, otherwise such a thing as a long life can be guaranteed?
Again, the longevity that their baby mentioned, can this life expectancy still be increased?
Finally, they just mentioned the skill, right? Skill, can they be understood as internal force? Martial arts internal strength?
Except for the twin brothers, who heard a little foggy and a little unclear, the rest of the people in the living room were not stupid, and in an instant, their minds circled around a few times, and they analyzed everything.
"Grandpa, please have tea!" Lin Jinghan picked up the last cup of tea and handed it directly to the old man, now that the temperature of the tea has dropped, it can be drunk directly, so Lin Jinghan did not put it on the table again.
The old man took the teacup in Lin Jinghan's hand with a smile, and glanced at his father-in-law beside him with some pride, hum, their baby Hanhan was handed to him with both hands, not on the table, only he has this treatment, haha, sure enough, in the eyes of their baby Hanhan, sure enough, grandpa is the most important!
The old man who had already hidden the dampness under his eyes fell to the side a little speechless when he saw the provocative eyes of his father-in-law, what is there to be proud of, the girl also said that she wanted to accompany him more! The old man's recuperation skills are much stronger than the old man's, and the old man's knowledge and cultural level is much stronger than the old man's, he clearly knows the reason why Lin Jinghan is so respectful of tea, and when he saw that the old man felt depressed because he was the last to receive tea, the old man's heart was really quite speechless.
There are rules for tea ceremony, first guests and then hosts, old and then young, ladies first, if they are all family members, respect the elders first, from left to right in turn, and Lin Jinghan officially came in this order, the old lady is the first on her left hand, and is a lady, and is also a guest, so no matter which point, Lin Jinghan must first give this cup of tea to the old lady, and then the old man, Lin Jinghan's master is an elder and a guest, so his order comes before the old man, and the old man is the elder, but the master, So it's the last one.
The old man and the old lady are all scholarly families, they know these rules very well, and they also value them very much, as can be seen from their daughter, Lin Jinghan's mother, which is the result of their upbringing since childhood, gentle and graceful, dignified and courteous, even in ancient times, Lin Mama is also a model of everyone's beauty.
Although the old man and the old lady didn't care if Lin Jinghan could do this, when they saw that Lin Jinghan could know these things and be able to do it very well, the two old people felt very relieved in their hearts, and at the same time felt very proud, worthy of being their Zheng family's cousin!
And the old man, to be honest, was born at the grassroots, he doesn't know so many detours, he climbed out of the war, his excellent combat talent made the old man to today's position, everyone knows the life experience of the founding father, but no one has ever dared to look down on him, the old man today is he fought for from the battlefield of gunpowder.
The old man turned his head when he saw his father-in-law, thinking that the old man had been hit, the old man was so happy in his heart, he raised his head and took a big sip of tea, he never thought that this tea was so delicious, and it was really his baby Hanhan who poured tea!
When the old lady saw the old man's appearance of chewing peonies and drinking the top red robe, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching twice, and the middle-aged man and middle-aged woman who had been sitting opposite and didn't speak also felt that her head was full of black lines.
That's the top big red robe, although it's not on those two trees, but it's also the top big red robe of Wuyi Mountain, it's the country's treacherous, except for a few leaders in power, only a few old men have such treatment, but I met such a person who doesn't know how to cherish it, it's really ・・・・・・
After the tea of the elders in a circle was finished, Lin Jinghan stood up, walked in front of Chen Lao, and solemnly introduced: "Grandpa, grandfather, grandmother, mother, uncle, aunt, and two cousins," called a large circle of people one by one, and when all the eyes of all the people were focused on her, Lin Jinghan continued: "This is my master Chen Lao, the master I met when I was thirteen years old, it is the master's careful teaching that has allowed me to get to this point today, the master is a noble alchemist, The master is one of the most respected people in the world, to be able to meet the master, to be able to worship the master as a teacher, is the luckiest thing in my life, the master taught me alchemy, the master taught me to practice martial arts, if there is no master, maybe my life is the most ordinary life, may just be just raised in an orphanage, the most idle kind of person in this society, a corner of peace, do not want to forge ahead, live in a muddy way, until the end of life, and it is because of my master that my life will become so colorful, Let me have the capital to go to Beijing, let me have the opportunity to meet my parents, let me go home, see my grandfather, grandparents, and see these relatives who love me, so, master, thank you! In the end, Lin Jinghan bent down deeply.
Chen Lao straightened his waist and sat on the sofa, motionless, his face flushed, his hands clenched into fists, suppressing the instinctive trembling of his body, his precious apprentice actually introduced him so solemnly to her family, just for the little jealousy he had before.
If there is such a disciple, what more can the husband ask for!
"Girl, being able to take you as an apprentice is the greatest luck in the master's life!" Chen Lao stood up and helped Lin Jinghan up, looking at the girl who was already about the same height as him with moist eyes, and sighed at the words that sounded most often in his heart.
The old man, the two elders of the Zheng family, and Zheng Huilan all looked at Chen Lao with a grateful face, and the old man took the lead in getting up, solemnly bent down slightly at Chen Lao, and bowed to thank him!
This made Chen Lao startled, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to get up, don't do this, these are all relatives of his precious apprentice, he can't afford it!
"Thank you, Chen Lao, thank you for taking care of our family Hanhan, and teaching her so well, thank you very much!" The old man held Chen Lao's hand, his thin palm was very hard, as long as he thought of Lin Jinghan's words, thinking that if it wasn't for the old man in front of him, Lin Jinghan would probably never be able to meet them, and the old man was endlessly grateful in his heart.
"No, no, really, it's my luck to receive such an apprentice as a girl, you don't have to!" ――
