Chapter 44 Jianzhan
Cao Shujun applauded: "Good, really good, great." I hope that the world is in good times, live up to the years and live up to love, even the little lady's tea ordering skills are a must, and the skills are overwhelming in the capital, and no one can match. β
Zhang Hou also nodded again and again: "It's wonderful." β
Shen Bao was stunned for a moment before he sighed: "So young, so beautiful, so versatile, even the little lady can be called the best in the world, and I admire it very much." β
Shi Er's eyes widened, and he exclaimed "wow", his eyes lit up: "It's amazing, it's amazing, I want to learn too, and I also order tea." β
Several people were amazed, only Xia Xiang and Mantuo remained silent. Mantuo lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, not caring at all, and he didn't care about Lian Ruohan's tea.
"Brother Xia......" Zhang Hou saw that Xia Xiang was silent, thinking that Xia Xiang didn't know how to order tea, and said with a smile, "I'm listening to Brother Xia's opinions, and I also ask Brother Xia to give us some advice." β
"Well said, well said." Xia Xiang smiled, hugged his fists and shook everyone, looking like he was unyielding, "The quality of the tea can be judged from two aspects, one is the color of the soup, and the other is the soup flower." The color of the soup is the color of the tea, with pure white as the first, and green and white, gray and white, yellow and white, etc. The color is pure white, the tea quality is fresh and tender, and the heat is just right when brewing. The color is blue, which is due to the lack of heat during brewing. The color is grayish, and the heat is too old when brewing. The color is yellow, which means that the tea leaves are not picked in time, and the tea leaves are too old or too tender. The color is red, which is because the tea is fried and roasted too much. Even the little lady's tea, the color is pure white, which is first-class. β
Zhang Hou's jaw almost didn't fall into the teacup, he thought that Xia Xiang was born in a family of ordinary people, and grew up in a poor and remote Zhongshan village, he had not seen the world, but he had just read some more sage books. Although the book of sages has the way of life and the foundation of life, there is no record of strange and ingenious things such as ordering tea, if you know how to order tea, you must see and hear with your own eyes to know one or two.
How can Xia Xiang know how to order tea? Zhang Hou believes that there are also people in Zhongshan Village who can order tea, but needless to say, the skills must be average, and there will be no good tea. So Xia Xiang has such an opinion, could it be hearsay?
Zhang Hou's expression fell in Xia Xiang's eyes, Xia Xiang smiled silently, even Ruohan's tea-ordering skills are perfect, and Xiao Jia's tea-ordering skills are not far behind, but this matter is not enough for outsiders, he continued: "Tanghua is the foam of the soup noodles. The first is that the color of the soup flower is pure white. Because the color of the soup flower is the same as the color of the soup. The second is that after the soup flowers are blooming, if you can bite the cup, it is the best. β
"What do you mean by biting the cup?" Shi Er didn't understand what he meant, and bit his lip with a smile, "Is it just biting your lip?" β
Cao Shujun let out of his nostrils and snorted disdainfully: "Summer insects can't speak to ice, well frogs can't speak to the sea, and Qushi can't speak to Dao......"
"What do you mean?" Shi'er looked innocent, and looked at Cao Shujun with blank eyes, "Cao Sanlang, can you teach me?" β
Zhang Hou's face sank, Cao Shujun was ignorant when he was mocking, he wanted to have a seizure, but was gently pulled by Shen Bao, Shen Bao whispered: "Brother Zhang doesn't have to care, Cao Sanlang and Shi'er, one is honest and the other is naΓ―ve, even if the two of them quarrel, they don't have to worry about it." β
Cao Shujun threw a meaningful glance at Shen Bao, and then raised his right hand at Zhang Hou as if demonstrating, before he said: "Xia insects can't speak to ice, but to time; The well frog cannot speak in the sea, and is confined to the void; Qushi can't be said in the Tao, bound to the teaching, which means to say......"
This means that the insects in the summer should not talk to them about ice because they do not know that there is winter and have never seen ice, so they will not believe it. The frogs in the well are not allowed to talk to them about the sea, because they have never jumped out of the well, and they do not know that there is a sea between heaven and earth that is innumerable and larger than the bottom of the well. Scholars in the countryside are not allowed to talk to them about the Great Dao, because they have little knowledge and little reading, and they do not know that there is a blue sky above their heads, and there is a great road above the blue sky. Shi Er pursed his lips and smiled slyly, "Cao Saburo, I don't know if I answered correctly?" β
Cao Shujun was stunned on the spot, and was stunned for a long time before he smiled: "Shi'er Bingxue is smart and answers correctly." β
"There is something wrong, Cao Saburo has to teach people tirelessly, remember to teach me, I am very modest and studious." Shi Er blinked and grinned, "Then may I ask Cao Sanlang, what is a bite?" β
Cao Shujun said in a whisper: "The so-called bite is the soup flower...... Xia Langjun, you come to teach me. β
Xia Xiang laughed, Shi Er was cunning and smart, her knowledge was not much less than Cao Shujun, but sometimes she liked to deliberately play tricks on people, he swept his eyes, and saw that Lian Ruohan looked indifferent, and he had a plan in his heart, "The so-called 'biting the cup' is not just to say that the soup flower bites the edge of the bowl, but that as long as there is a soup flower floating in the bowl, no matter where the soup flower is, look through the soup flower, and the rabbit lines or oil droplet patterns at the bottom of the bowl in the corresponding part have been bitten." If the soup flower flutters in the bowl, the rabbit pattern or oil drop pattern at the bottom of the pot seems to be pulled, which is very vivid and interesting. It is precisely for this reason that tea lovers will have to use rabbit hair or oil droplets to build a lamp when ordering tea. β
After Xia Xiang finished speaking, the four words "good times are always there" in Jianzhan have not yet dispersed, Lian Ruohan picked up Jianzhan, shook his wrist slightly, and the soup flower suddenly dissipated, and the words "good times are always there" also turned into bubbles, and she smiled lightly: "The little girl is not good at learning art, she can only write and not paint." If you are a skilled tea master, you can draw a picture that can change. β
"How?" Although Shen Bao had also heard that the art of ordering tea had reached a certain level, it could be unpredictable, he didn't believe it originally, but now he saw Lian Ruohan's technique with his own eyes, and he believed most of it.
"I once saw a tea master draw two birds on the soup flower, and then they didn't disperse for half an hour, and after the tea master picked up the teacup, he flicked his wrist, and in the blink of an eye, the two birds became a horse." Lian Ruohan remembered the scene at that time, and still yearned for it in his heart.
"What's so hard about that?" Mantuo, who had been absent-minded, suddenly stood up, got up and came to Lian Ruohan's side, "Lian Niangzi, please let me go, I'll come." β
Lian Ruohan was slightly stunned, then smiled indifferently and got up to get out of the way. Mantuo was not polite, and after sitting down, he asked Ling'er to boil water for her again. Ling Er hesitated and was reluctant, Xia Xiang saw this, smiled, and personally boiled water for Mantuo.
Xia Xiang burned the stove, put down the soup bottle, and after the water boiled three times, he handed the soup bottle to Mantuo. The technique of ordering tea is the same as that of Lian Ruohan, but the difference is that her technique is softer and faster, and when she holds the tea whisk to stir and hit the tea soup, her wrist strength is stronger, and her wrist flips like a fly, making it almost impossible to see the movement.
Xiao Wu was standing in the distance, eager to get closer to see some good mantle techniques, Xia Xiang didn't speak, he didn't dare to take a step forward. It's just that he also knows that even if he stands in front of him, he can't see the mantra's magical technique.
Soon, the tea of Mantuo was ready, and it was better than Lian Ruohan whether it was soup or soup flower. Even Ruohan was convinced, Mantuo's technique, not to say that she was the most clever tea master, because Mantuo used martial arts to order tea, wrist strength and finger flying skills, ordinary people have no possibility of learning.
Mantuo took another bamboo stick and sketched for a moment, and two lifelike birds jumped on the tea. Shi Er was stunned, standing with her hands apart in front of her chest, even forgetting to applaud, she opened a pair of almond eyes, and only one voice echoed in her head: "I want to learn, I want to learn to make some tea." β
Mantuo gently picked up the building lamp with both hands, and drew a circle in front of everyone like a treasure, and after everyone had finished admiring it, she suddenly flipped her wrist, and the building lamp in her hand suddenly buckled downward.
"Ahh Everyone exclaimed in unison, and under a button, the tea poured out, wouldn't it be wasted? Even Xia Xiang was taken aback, and he subconsciously took a step forward, stretched out his right hand to snatch Jianzhan in his hand.
Unexpectedly, he didn't pay attention to his feet, and stepped on Lian Ruohan's feet, not to mention, and his right hand also drove Lian Ruohan's sleeves. Lian Ruohan was caught off guard, her body shook, she wanted to take a step forward to adjust her balance, she didn't want her feet to be stepped on by Xia Xiang, she couldn't move, she lost her up and down at the same time, and she couldn't stand steadily, so she was about to fall.
Xia Xiang was shocked, if Lian Ruohan fell forward, he fell on top of the soup bottle, and in the soup bottle, there was still half a bottle of boiling water, if it was scalded, it would definitely be seriously injured. He didn't dare to slack off, and he didn't care about much, he wrapped his hands around him, hugged Lian Ruohan by the waist, and retracted it hard, which could stop Lian Ruohan's fall.
At the same time, the Jianzhan in Mantuo's hand was also turned over, the tea in the cup did not leak, and the voices of everyone who exclaimed instantly turned into exclamation, and above the soup flower, the two birds were gone, and instead of a tall horse, it was a tall horse with a swagger!
"Ahh
Everyone couldn't suppress the surprise in their hearts, and they praised in unison.
"Good! It's wonderful! β
"The taste of the tea fight is light, and the tea fight is fragrant and thin. In the meantime, Pindi Hu can be bullied, ten eyes and ten fingers. If you can't climb to the immortals, you will be shameless if you lose and surrender. Calling for the natural production of Shi Shangying, the merit is worthy of the front step. I can clear the turbidity of everyone, and I can wake up after a thousand days of drunkenness. Qu Yuan tried to summon spirits, but Liu Ling had to hear thunder. Shen Bao was excited, and while beating the teacup, he sang "Tea Fighting Song", with a deep and majestic voice, "Lu Tong dares not to sing, Lu Yu must make a scripture." In the forest, there is no tea star. Shangshan Zhangren Xiu Ruzhi, Shouyang Mr. Xiu Caiwei. The price of wine in Chang'an has been reduced by one million, and the Chengdu pharmaceutical market has no glory. It's not as good as a sip of the fairy mountain, and Ling Ran wants to fly in the wind. Jun Mo envy the girl among the flowers only fights grass and wins the pearls. β
Although tea ordering is popular everywhere in Great Xia, it is rare to see the art of ordering tea as superbly as Mantuo, or rather, I have only heard of it but have not seen it with my own eyes. Shen Bao knows best, however, there are countless tea masters in his hometown, and there are countless people who can draw one bird, and there are very few who can draw two birds, just because the soup flower lasts for a limited time in the soup. He also heard several tea masters say that this skill has been lost, and looking at Daxia, I am afraid that few people can do it.
I don't want to have a legendary lost stunt, but I can actually see it with my own eyes, and it is performed by a young lady, how can it not be surprising?
When everyone was admiring the wonder of Mantuo's tea, Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan hugged each other, one was stunned and didn't know what to do, the other panicked and didn't know what to do.
Shi Er's eyes were sharp, and everyone was scrambling to appreciate the highest skill of ordering tea from birds to horses, but she suddenly realized that something was wrong, and there seemed to be less applause from Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan in her voice, so she looked curiously in the direction of Xia Xiang - she was stunned at that time.
"Xia Langjun, why are you rude to the little lady? The saint has words, don't look at the incivility, don't move the incivility, don't speak the incivility, don't listen to the incivility, you, you, you don't listen to the words of the saint. Shi Er was angry and anxious, tears rolling in his eyes, "In vain, you read the books of sages and received the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, how can you insult the little lady in broad daylight?" I really misjudged you, and I'll never pay attention to you again. β
As soon as Shi Er's words came out, everyone's eyes were on Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan.
Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan hugged each other in a posture that was not very elegant, and his behavior was indeed not very in line with the words and teachings of the sage, but he was also helpless, Lian Ruohan leaned forward, with a soup bottle in front of him and a window behind him. On the left is Mantuo, on the right is Shen Bao, he wanted to take advantage of the unpreparedness of Lian Ruohan to quietly understand this sudden wind and snow, so as not to be misunderstood, but he didn't want to shout when he didn't want to.
Everyone's eyes were like arrows, Zhang Hou was shocked and jealous, Shen Bao was surprised and envious, Mantuo was surprised and disapproving, Shi Er was surprised and angry, Xia Xiang was like a mang, and he hurriedly explained: "Things are not what you think, it's like this......"
As soon as the words came out, Lian Ruohan gently stroked a wisp of green silk on his forehead, and said generously: "Xia Langjun is not to blame for this matter, it is my fault." β
To put it mildly, I don't explain it too much. At this time, Ling'er helped Lian Ruohan up, Lian Ruohan stood upright, and took a step back.
Everyone looked at each other, and couldn't help but guess what was going on, Xia Xiang smiled slightly embarrassed, took a step back, saluted Lian Ruohan, didn't say anything, and sat back in his seat.
Cao Shujun took the opportunity to get to Xia Xiang's side, quietly pulled Xia Xiang's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Xia Langjun, it's a great opportunity, can the emblem let Lian Xiaoniang take a look?" β
Xia Xiang thought for a moment, shook his head, and responded in a low voice: "Here and now, it's not a good opportunity, I'll talk about it next time." β
Although Cao Shujun wanted to let the little lady see his masterpiece immediately, he still forcibly pressed the eagerness in his heart to try, and returned to his seat unhappily, playing with the jade chain in his hand, wanting to be hugged by Xia Xiang, even the little lady was neither ashamed nor embarrassed, compared to the sister's beautiful demeanor, more sassy, could it be that the little lady is the descendant of which gate valve family in the Central Plains?
However, among the gate valve families in the Central Plains, there are Cui family, Lu family, Li family, Zheng family, and no Lian family...... Cao Shujun couldn't figure it out. He grew up in Beijing since he was a child, and he didn't know anything about Lian Ruohan's life experience, but when he saw Lian Ruohan so young and beautiful today, he was even more curious about her origin and life experience.
After Xia Xiang sat down, even Ruohan sat back in his place, and Shi Er wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Shen Bao, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing for a while, and he fell into a dull state.
"Xianyun is clever, the flying star spreads hatred, and the silver man is dark......" Just when everyone was searching their intestines and didn't know how to open their mouths to resolve the embarrassment at the moment, suddenly there was an urn sound from the corner, "Sir, I suddenly remembered a word, but I forgot the next sentence, please teach me." β
"Stupid goose." Shi Er took Xiao Wu's words first, and continued, "Xianyun is clever, the flying star spreads hatred, and the silver man is dark." As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless ...... in the world As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world? Xiao Wu, do you mean the hug between Xia Langjun and Lian Xiaoniang just now? Oops, you're not a stupid goose, you're a magpie from Magpie Bridge. β
Xiao Wu waited in the corner not far away from beginning to end, without saying a word, and suddenly said at this time, there was a finishing touch, but he didn't know it, he smiled, scratched his head and said: "I'm just a stupid goose, not a magpie, Shi'er, what is Magpie Bridge?" β
Shi Er's mind was shallow, and the jealousy he had for Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan disappeared in a blink of an eye, and he was happy: "You are pretending to be stupid, aren't you?" What you just read is the word "Queqiao Immortal", and the second half is - tenderness is like water, the best period is like a dream, and you can endure the return of Queqiao. If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight? β
"Tenderness is like water, and the best period is like a dream...... for some reason, Lian Ruohan's heart suddenly stirred up, and he made big waves, recalling Xia Xiang's sacrifice just now, and there was a strange sweetness in his heart.
How so? Lian Ruohan could no longer sit next to Xia Xiang, and got up to leave. As soon as he stood up, before he could speak, he suddenly heard the neighing of a horse outside the window, and a man's voice came from far and near: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Urgent official business, no matter what you are injured! β
Standing at the window and looking out, I could see a man and a horse galloping in the distance, immediately a person, with a big face and big eyes, a beard, a burly physique, and a tall horse, but he was disheveled, his cloak was scattered, and the blood behind his back penetrated his clothes, which was a round blood stain, and the insiders could see at a glance that he had been wounded by an arrow.
Everyone was shocked, it has been a long time since Chengping in Beijing, and it is rare to fly away in the city, but today there are people who are not only riding horses but also seriously injured, which is really a strange thing.
Mantuo's face suddenly changed after just one glance, and she clasped her fists at Lian Ruohan and Xia Xiang: "Thank you for the kindness of the little lady Lian." Xia Langjun, don't say goodbye. β
As soon as he finished speaking, he flew out of the window, floated to the ground, and disappeared into the crowd in a flash, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Lian Ruohan didn't know the person on the horse, and he was very sad in his heart, the mantle came and went like the wind, so he didn't see each other again. She shook her head slightly, said goodbye to everyone, and turned to leave.
walked to the door, but was stopped by Zhang Hou again.
Zhang Hou remembered what happened just now, and asked, "Even the little lady, why did you say that Brother Xia was a step higher?" I also hope that the little lady will not hesitate to advise. β
Lian Ruohan's eyebrows were lightly relaxed, her eyes jumped a few times, and she suddenly smiled: "If you can't even figure this out, Zhang Langjun, you are not even as good as Xia Langjun, compared to Shen Langjun, you are also inferior." β
Ling'er and Lian Ruohan went downstairs and walked far, Ling'er quietly glanced back at Zhang Hou, who was still standing at the top of the stairs, and smiled: "Lady, why is Zhang Langjun not as good as Xia Langjun?" β
Lian Ruohan's face was as calm as water, but a trace of imperceptible joy flashed in his eyes: "Xia Langjun took one finger as the theme, Zhang Hou said that he only hit one, which shows that he is extremely conceited and thinks too highly of himself, he said that only one must be talking about himself." Shen Bao said that he missed one and hit two, and his heart volume was a little bigger than Zhang Hou's. Only Xia Langjun said that he was all in the middle school, and his mind was broader than Zhang Hou and Shen Bao. β
Ling'er tilted her head and thought about it, and suddenly "poofed" for a while: "But the lady likes Xia Langjun?" β
"Don't talk nonsense." Lian Ruohan's face sank, and the majestic aura on his body burst out, and his momentum was like a rainbow, "Although Xia Xiang is talented and open-minded, he is still just a cloth cloth. Unless he has gained fame and background, it will be difficult for him to make a difference, no matter how talented he is. Even if you can get into my eyes, it is difficult to enter the eyes of good times. β
Ling'er shrank her neck in fright, her little face turned yellow, and she whispered, "Yes, Ling'er doesn't dare anymore." However, Xia Langjun is so talented, it should be no problem to pass the Jinshi examination. If Xia Langjun is a jinshi and becomes an official, the lady ...... him"
Lian Ruohan has already walked outside the building at this time, the sun is shining, the sky is clear, the midsummer has passed, and the autumn will come, the sky is exceptionally clear and high. She stared for a moment, put her hand on her forehead, looked into the distance a few times, and said indifferently: "Although Xia Langjun is highly talented, he may not be a hero, and the road ahead depends on how he goes." β
