Zhao Mingfeng picked up the teacup and let Fang Guolian leave, and said, "Brother Xian, please use tea." Seeing that Fang Guolian looked at the petals in the cup and was puzzled, he smiled and said: "This tea is mixed with dozens of flower juices and tea, and some flower petals are picked for the 'tea introduction' to draw out the fragrance of flowers in the tea. This is a unique tea ceremony created by the deceased florist master Gao Sanniang of the Baihua Hall, which ordinary people can't taste. ”

Fang Guochuan heard it strangely, so he took a sip of the cup, tasted it carefully for a while, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "This tea has a fragrant taste, although the taste is different from ordinary tea, but I can't taste anything special." Of course, I don't usually pay much attention to the tea ceremony. ”

Zhao Mingfeng said: "Baihua tea lies in the subtlety, especially the university question, Lu Yu's "Book of Tea" is the masterpiece. Lu Yuqi not only has a great deal of research on the color, processing, origin and variety of tea, but also has a unique insight into tea utensils and water quality. ”

Fang Guohuan smiled and said: "It seems that Brother Zhao is also good at this, and he is willing to hear about it." Zhao Mingfeng said: "Let's just talk about the water quality used to treat tea, and most of them are based on spring water." For example, the Baotu Spring, the head of the seventy-two springs in Jinan, is known as the first spring in the world, the water quality is clear and mellow, and it is the most suitable to boil tea, and it is the best to rank the top grade. The second spring in the world is Huishan Spring in Wuxi, the water quality is sweet and smooth, especially suitable for making tea. The third spring is the Hupao Spring in Hangzhou, the water quality is sweet and mellow, soaked in the dragon well, and it is called 'double unique' at the time. ”

After hearing this, Fang Guochuan exclaimed: "Hearing Brother Zhao's discussion of tea ceremony, it is really a great knowledge. Then he smiled: "The water quality of this Baihua tea is smooth, and the taste is smooth, I don't know how many springs to take?" Zhao Mingfeng said: "The three famous springs are too far away from the villa, it is not suitable to take them, but there is a spring in the garden, the name is 'night spring', the spring water is out of the day at night, it can be called strange, so it is often taken at night for backup, and the water of Baihua tea is taken from it. The water quality of this spring is sweet and sweet, and after several famous people have tasted it, it is considered to be no less than the second spring in the world. ”

Fang Guochuan was surprised when he heard this: "There are such strange springs in the garden, why does no one know?" Zhao Mingfeng said: "Only because the spring is located in the villa and is used exclusively by my Zhao family, so the world does not know, otherwise it will be listed on the "Book of Tea". ”

After Fang Guohuan tasted the hundred flower tea for a few days, he tasted a faint fragrance in his mouth, and he felt it carefully, as if he was in the midst of a hundred flowers, and he couldn't help nodding and said: "Hmm!" Good tea! Now it's interesting. ”

Zhao Mingfeng said with a smile: "Brother Xian's taste is not low. Fang Guochuan seemed to have an understanding: "The wonder of the tea ceremony seems to lie in the tasting, not in the preparation of thirst. ”

Zhao Mingfeng said: "The ancients said: one cup is the taste, the second cup is the drink, and the third cup is the donkey. With that, the two laughed.

Leaving the Hundred Flowers Hall, Zhao Mingfeng led Fang Guolian to swim in a few more scenes. While walking, Fang Guolian saw that not far ahead, under the shade of weeping willows, there were several wooden houses, and there was a plaque with the words "Drinking Zhai" on the door.

When they got closer, two servants greeted them, and one of them said, "Young master, the young lady has prepared wine and food, and the special villain is waiting here." Zhao Mingfeng said: "Got it, you guys go." And the two servants bowed and withdrew.

Zhao Mingfeng invited Fang Guolian into the drinking room, and a table of exquisite banquets had been set up inside, and the two of them sat down to use it. After drinking a few cups, Fang Guolian couldn't help but say: "After visiting the garden for half a day, I have a feeling of not wanting to return for ten years, which shows that the wealth and leisure are good for people!" ”

Zhao Mingfeng said with a smile: "With the elegance of a virtuous brother, there is a sense of infatuation, it seems that a person is only a person who seeks glory and wealth." Fang Guochuan shook his head and smiled: "Not really, the so-called state is born from the heart, and it depends on the state of mind of the person." Zhao Mingfeng smiled: "That also varies from person to person." ”

The two toasted each other again, and Zhao Mingfeng said: "Chess is the first elegant art in leisure time, and I have to ask my brother for advice when I go back." Fang Guochuan said with a smile: "It's good to say, this drinking and playing chess, forgetting the landscape, and then tasting delicious food, and no miscellaneous things, it seems that only Brother Zhao can enjoy this great blessing." Even the Son of Heaven in the palace knows about it, and he will look at it. ”

Zhao Mingfeng said with a smile: "In the eyes of the world, Zai Xia is just an idiot who has nothing to do (eating)." After speaking, the two laughed.

After the wine and food were used up, Zhao Mingfeng and Fang Guolian left the drinking fast and moved to a place where buildings and palaces gathered. There is a big hall, named "Qiren Palace", the building is high and open, magnificent and magnificent, it is the place of discussion of Baguio Villa. Some maids and servants saw that the young master was coming, and they were busy separating to greet each other, and Zhao Mingfeng invited Fang Guolian to enter the Qiren Hall to watch.

The hall is arranged rich and gorgeous, the gold is brilliant, especially in the middle hall hangs a large "Fu" word, the most dazzling, the pen body is thick and vigorous, vigorous and powerful, the shape is convex and wants to fall, there are three words of "Xu Jinglun" at the place of the drop. When Fang Guochuan saw it, he remembered that the four words "Baguio Villa" on the door of the village were also inscribed by this person, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Zhao, who is this Xu Jinglun?" What an extraordinary stroke! ”

Zhao Mingfeng said: "Mr. Jinglun is a famous person in the south of the Yangtze River, a famous calligrapher today, living in Suzhou City, and a close friend of his father. Jiangnan scribes are proud of Mr. Jinglun. ”

When Fang Guohuan heard this, he watched the word "Fu" again, nodded and exclaimed: "Everyone's handwriting, it gives people a different feeling, this word has reached the realm of form and spirit!" Then a servant offered tea, and the two took a few sips and left.

After visiting a few more scenic spots, it was getting late, and Zhao Mingfeng was afraid that Fang Guolian would be tired after walking for a long time, so he led him back to Cuiyuxuan. The two talked about some poetry and songs, and Fang Guolian pointed out Zhao Mingfeng on chess again, and then the two returned to the food building.

At this time, Han Xing'er had already prepared a table of sumptuous wine and food, and told her that Song Luyang had come, and when she heard that Zhao Mingfeng accompanied Fang Guolian to visit the garden, she left her house. After using the wine and food, Zhao Mingfeng sent Fang Guolian back to Cuiyuxuan to rest, chatted for a while, Zhao Mingfeng didn't go, and made an appointment to continue visiting the garden tomorrow.

Fang Guohuan took a nap for a while, and was amazed by the beautiful scenery of Baguio Villa, but he was worried about chess in his heart, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, so he got up and walked out of the door, holding on to the bamboo fence by the water to take a few breaths of fresh air in the evening. The two servants who were waiting, one named Zhang Zheng and the other named Wang Bing, saw Fang Guolian go out of the room, and they hurriedly came out of the other room for fear of having something to order. Wang Bing stepped forward and said, "Young Master Fang, is there anything you want the villain to do?" Fang Guochuan said: "It's okay, just take a walk." Zhang Zhengdao: "The fragrant tea is almost ready, and the son will go back to the room to use tea later." Fang Guohuan thanked him, and then leaned on the railing to look at the opposite scene.
