Volume 4 Return to Xi XVII, the grandson is Su Shi



Jinling Zhou Xuanzhi's scholar fighting tea won the top ten tea tasters ranked ninth Lu Hongji, which made the major tea merchants and tea tasters present amazed, Zeng Daqian was ecstatic, fat face red, rich, really rich, Xie Yuan tea down, after Huangshan Rongcheng tea is the top tea in Shezhou, tea prices doubled is not unusual, he bet on Zhou Xuan right.

The chief steward of Fu signaled everyone to be quiet, and said: "Everyone, up to now, a total of 98 kinds of tea have come to participate in this Shezhou tea party, 191 tea merchants, more than 1,000 tea merchants from all over the world, and 52 kinds of tea and 89 tea masters under their names have passed the three passes of the bamboo shed to enter the tea battle hall. ”

Zhou Xuan whispered in the ear of Fairy Jingyi: "Sister Daoyun, you are so strong, you already enjoy the treatment of the top ten tea tasters, and I have to fight from the first round." ”

Fairy Jingyi smiled slightly: "Brother Xuan, let's fight." ”

Lin Hanyun wrinkled her nose and said, "Brother Zhou Xuan, my sister can't help you now, you are alone, don't fail the first round!" ”

Zhou Xuan glared at her: "Can't you say something nice?" ”

Lin Hanyun let out an "oh" and said with a smile: "I wish Brother Zhou Xuan all the way through the test and break into the top ten." ”

Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "It's pretty much the same." ”

Lin Hanyun sighed: "Alas, if you are loyal to your ears, you love to listen to good things." ”

In addition to Lu Hong's gradual withdrawal from the top ten tea tasters last year, there was one person who did not participate in this year's tea party, and there were nine people on the wall together with Jingyi Fairy, and the remaining eighty people had to go through three more levels, that is to say, they had to go through three patios, each of which had exam questions, all of which were related to tea.

Eighty people were divided into four groups, "Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow", each group of twenty people, and went out through the doors on all sides of the hall in turn. After going back to the hall after three patios, it means that all three levels have been passed, and those who fail to return to the hall have failed to pass the customs and go directly out of the "Ming Zhan Hall".

Four groups of customs clearances are carried out at the same time. Anyway, there are many patios in "Ming Zhan Tang", isn't it called the thirty-six patio?

Zhou Xuan was divided into the tenth of the "Xuan Group", and when it was his turn, a "Ming Zhan Tang" guy led him out of the west gate of the hall, passed through a short corridor, and turned into a patio, which was surrounded by beautifully carved railings, and a steward said expressionlessly: "This first level is a poem title----

Zhou Xuanxin said: "There are also poetry questions here, and poetry buddies are the best." I listened to the steward and said: "----, please recite the poem "Drink Tianmu Mountain Tea to Lu Xun." In Jiyuan Jushi Sheng". ”

Zhou Xuan was dumbfounded.

The steward waited for a while, and when he saw that Zhou Xuan didn't react, he said, "Can't you answer?" If you can't answer, please pass through this small door. Through the corridor, you can go straight out of the tea battle hall. ”

Zhou Xuan asked: "Tea fighting, tea fighting, what poems do you remember?" ”

The steward said: "This is a question prepared by several veterans in the tea industry, we can only implement it, and if you can't answer it, please go out." ”

Zhou Xuandao: "Slowly, listen to my recitation---- I am happy to see the ghost meeting, and the first wild guest tea." The day becomes the east well leaf, and the dew picks the north mountain buds. The simmering incense is favorable, and the cold spring flavor turns to Jia. Throwing bells and foaming, bowls gather flowers. A little closer to the Zen scriptures, talk about sleeping on credit. Zhijun is in Tianmu. There is no end to this. ”

The steward opened the door behind him and made a gesture of please.

Zhou Xuan strode through the hurdle with his head held high, and felt the joy of cheating in the exam in his heart, he really didn't expect that the old man who cooked tea in the bamboo shed was actually a veteran of the tea tasting industry! Haha, buddy is lucky. If you don't get that teapot, you really don't know that there is this poem, this poem is not a famous poem after all, although the buddy has a good memory, but it is impossible to memorize all the ancient poems, it would be too obscene!

That's right. There's a poem on the teapot. I wonder if it's going to be used in the next level?

When I came to the second patio, I was a steward again. said: "This is another poem ----"

Zhou Xuanxi smiled, it was more pleasant to know the test questions in advance, and listened to the questions with a smile.

The steward said: "Collecting snow on pine branches to make tea, there is a fragrance of pine nuts, please name which poem mentions making tea with pine snow?" ”

Zhou Xuan laughed and said continuously: "Good questions, good questions, the tea tasting qualification exam has to be so elegant." ”

The steward smiled and said, "It seems that this question is difficult for this son, please answer it." ”

Zhou Xuandao: "Tortoise Meng's poem "Boiling Tea" mentions making tea with pine snow, do you need to recite the whole poem? ”

The steward said: "Just answer the poem question-

Zhou Xuanxin's poem didn't let him recite it, he was uncomfortable, and said: "It's better to memorize, answer the questions and answer them all---- sit among the pines and watch the snow on the boiled pine." When it is in the waves, and it is at the end of the blue Ying. The rest of the essence is refreshing and healthy, and suddenly the atmosphere is extinguished. It is not suitable for other books, but it is appropriate to peek at the jade. ”

The steward opened the door behind him and said with a smile: "Son, knowledgeable, please enter the third level." ”

The two poems have passed two levels, it's really effortless, cool, so what is the third level?

The third patio, a rectangular table, and six tea bowls, this time it's a real skill, distinguish water!

No matter how good your luck is, no matter how others help you, but in the end it depends on your real ability, the strong are lucky, and I have never heard of any weak people who are lucky together.

Zhou Xuan's tongue is jumping happily in his mouth, moving activities, warm up before tasting water, these days often play with Lin Hanyun's mouth, that chick likes to suck his tongue, suck it, the tip of the tongue is sucked by her, I'm afraid the taste buds are damaged, wait until you can't distinguish the smell of water, go back and hit Lin Hanyun's buttocks.

The steward said: "This is the world's famous spring water and river water, and I will never deliberately scoop a bowl in a small river ditch to make things difficult, please taste it." ”

Zhou Xuan picked up the first cup of water, tasted it, and said: "This is Lushan Zhaoyin Spring Water." After picking up the second sample, he replied: "This is the cold spring water of the Yangtze River." ”

In Jinling, these world's famous springs are available in the market, a bucket of a few dollars of silver, Zhou Xuan followed Jingyi Fairy to learn the tea ceremony, without leaving home, the world's famous springs, famous water have tasted enough, just drinking water has drunk at least a hundred taels of silver, the so-called poor and rich martial arts, want to be a tea master is the same, you have no money. You can't taste all kinds of water in the world, or you have to travel thousands of miles and miles to find water to drink, but that also requires money, Xu Xiake, a great traveler in the Ming Dynasty, is a wealthy family. Therefore, it is necessary to engage in art for money, and it is necessary to pay for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, cockfighting and insect fighting.

Zhou Xuan took out the remaining four lamps of water one by one, namely: "Guangling Shugangfeng Spring Water, Jixi Water, Zhuli Water, and Luyu Spring Water of Xinzhou Guangjiao Temple." ”

The steward praised: "The son is very good at tasting and has passed the three levels, congratulations." ”

Zhou Xuan arched his hand and entered through the door behind the steward, and it was the hall.

Lin Hanyun cheered. Ran over and jumped by his hand.

Zhou Xuan walked to Fairy Jingyi and told her about passing the three levels, and Fairy Jingyi smiled and said, "This is a good result of Brother Xuan's love for tea." The female Taoist must have stumped many tea tasters in the first two levels, and many tea tasters don't understand poetry. ”

After a while, all 80 people in the four groups of "Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang" broke through the three levels, and only 23 people were able to return to the hall, and it is estimated that the vast majority of them were stopped in the first two levels.

Suddenly, a tall and thin tea taster rushed in at the main entrance of the hall, shouting, "I'm not convinced!" I'm not convinced! He was followed by two "Pinmingtang" guys, and the guys shouted: "He broke through!" He's hard! ”

Zhou Xuan saw that this thin and tall man had just met once, and he was the tea taster of Meizhou white bud tea. It is estimated that he failed to break through, and he rushed back to the hall to shout injustice again.

The chief steward Fu said: "Mr. Su, you don't treat everyone equally, why don't you accept it?" ”

The tea taster surnamed Su said indignantly: "I was ranked eleventh among the tea tasters at last year's tea party, but this year I couldn't even pass the first round. Is this fair, the tea taster talks about the art of tea, but what kind of poetry is tested, the vassal is elegant, and it is ridiculous. ”

This Su's tea taster is full of ambition and is ready to enter the top ten at this year's tea party. Then recommend their white bud tea from Meizhou. That's a few thousand taels of silver, but I didn't expect to be dumbfounded at the first level. How did he know who the poet monk Jiaoran was? So I was not convinced, and I came back and questioned.

The chief steward Fu sank his face and said: "Mr. Su, when the tea master reaches a high level, it is not just a skill, but an elegant art that can be called the same as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”

Zhou Xuan whispered to Fairy Jingyi: "This Fu steward is very insightful. ”

Fairy Jingyi nodded: "Poetry and wine, poetry and tea have always been sisters. ”

As soon as Fairy Jingyi said this, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but glance at Lin Hanyun and thought: "Poetry and tea are sisters, Sister Daoyun is tea, and Lin Hanyun will be poetry?" No, what kind of poem is this! ”

When Lin Hanyun saw Zhou Xuan looking at her, she smiled sweetly at Zhou Xuan, the chick is still charming, the training has achieved remarkable results in the past few days, how to train next, hit the chest?

The tea taster surnamed Su was shouting: "Unconvinced! Defy! ”

The chief steward Fu said majestically: "The shopkeeper of Meishan White Bud Tea, hurry up and take your tea taster out, otherwise, disturb the venue, and you will be punished for your white bud tea." ”

The shopkeeper Liao knew that the Tea Merchants Alliance was very influential, and he couldn't bear to punish him, so he hurriedly went to persuade Mr. Su: "Mr. Su, let's go out first, with Mr. Di's tea art, he will be among the top three when he comes back next year." ”

Mr. Su paused and said: "When I go back to Meizhou, I must read 10,000 books before going out, and I hope that future generations will export them into poems." With that, he walked out of the hall with Shopkeeper Liao.

Zhou Xuan nodded and said: "This surname Su Di is a character, it's a pity to be out like this." ”

What Zhou Xuan didn't know was that because he couldn't recite poems at this tea fighting conference this time, Mr. Su was angry and worked hard to read poetry and books, he didn't read anything famous, and his dying instructions told his son Su Xu to read and write poems, Su Xu obeyed his father's orders, read books in his spare time, and could compose poems, but the poems were average, and they were not handed down, Su Xun's son was called Su Xun, Su Xun was good at poetry and writing, and his talent was outstanding, and he gave birth to a bunch of good sons, two of which were the most amazing, that is, Su Shi and Su Zhe!

Su Shi is the super writer that Zhou Xuan admires the most, and it turns out that the great poet was born because of the failure of his ancestors in a tea fight, which no one expected!

The "Tea Battle Hall" tea fighting event continued, and the nine tea tasters who were originally watching from the wall joined the battle group, and the twenty-three tea fighters who broke through the three levels of the patio added up to the top 32, and drew lots to catch the tea fight.

Zhou Xuan's opponent is Jingzhou Xianren Tea Land Tea Master, entered the top 36 last year, and entered again this year, with the intention to go further, but saw that he met the mysterious Zhou Xuanzhi, Zhou Xuanzhi's scholar defeated Lu Hongchu, the scholar is so, the master is not more powerful, so I can't help but be afraid, this tea war is also the same as the chess war, pay attention to self-cultivation, and I am timid before I do it, and failure is inevitable.

Zhou Xuan was lucky to enter the top 16, and Fairy Jingyi also successfully advanced, but during the two draws, Zhou Xuan actually drew Fairy Jingyi, and he was dumbfounded, and asked the chief steward to change the opponent.

Fu Da Steward said: "Master Zhou, the opponent cannot be replaced, this is the rule of the Ming battlefield." ”

Fairy Jingyi said in a low voice: "Brother Xuan, or I'll quit." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "That's not good, I know my strength, I am very lucky to be able to enter the top 16, my sister strives to enter the top three, so it is powerful to recommend Rong Chengcha." ”

Fairy Jingyi said: "Brother Xuan, the female Dao lost this game, and there is still a chance to compete for the top ten." ”

Zhou Xuanyi thought, yes, the winner occupies the top eight, and there are still two places for the eight losers to compete for, and said: "Okay, sister, be careful, don't miss out, let's join hands in the top ten, hurry!" ”

Fairy Jingyi said "um", the two of them began to fight for tea, Fairy Jingyi was defeated, and Zhou Xuan entered the quarterfinals.

In the two tea fights for the last two places in the top ten, Fairy Jingyi defeated the opponent with the "Phantom Tea Technique" and finally entered the top ten.

However, the master of "Magic Tea Technique" Zhai Junmo has not shown his "Magic Tea Technique", and he has passed the test with ordinary but exquisite tea art.

It seems that Mingzhan is not very popular, so write less about the trail, and go to Xinzhou tomorrow after visiting Huangshan, fighting local tyrants and suppressing mountain bandits, what else does Xiahou tassel do? Can the Lin sisters be overthrown? Please wait and see.
