Chapter Eighty-Seven: Reciprocating the Peach
Cao Lingyuan smiled, seeing that Su Wenjin gave Li Xiaotang a face, he didn't want to entangle more. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info then turned to ask: "Brother Yan is erudite and talented, presumably there must be some research on tea culture, I don't know if you can say a few words to open our eyes?" ”
Brother Yan? Everyone looked over, and it turned out that Cao Lingyuan was referring to a friend of his, and Yan didn't hear it. Everyone has heard of this before, and a small poem "Farewell to Kangqiao" is quite interesting. Seeing Cao Lingyuan so respectful, everyone also turned their eyes over: "I didn't expect Brother Yan to be a tea ceremony expert, so I have to tell us about this." ”
"We don't know much about tea, so we ask Brother Yan for more advice."
"Yes, I drink a lot of coffee abroad, but I forgot to study this culture."
"Most of us study abroad in the UK, France, and the United States, and they don't drink much tea, and the United States likes to drink coffee, and the United Kingdom and France like to drink some black tea, but of course the cultural taste is not as rich as ours." Du Xue flue.
Dai Wangyu looked at Yan Buwen in surprise, as if he had discovered a new continent, and then enthusiastically introduced: "This Buwen brother, let me introduce to you, not only is he knowledgeable, he is a talented man who has returned from studying in the UK, and he is also quite accomplished in calligraphy. I've really seen it, so Daxia University specially hired him as a school teacher, and it took us a lot of effort to invite him to class, which is rare and valuable. I didn't think about it, I still have research on tea culture, I don't know my brother, I have to say a few words today. ”
"Oh? It's so powerful. ”
"It looks unremarkable, but the research is quite extensive."
"I don't know what he has to say."
Everyone whispered that their understanding of Yan Buwen had evolved from the author who created "Farewell to Kangqiao" before to a learned person through Dai Wangyu's words, but how erudite he was had to be measured from his writings. But everyone doesn't care, Dai Wangyu has a high reputation among them, and the person he admires very much must not be bad, so Yan Buwen's resume in everyone's hearts has become very exciting.
Su Wenjin also looked at Yan Buwen, not knowing if he really had a study of tea as Cao Lingyuan said.
Dai Wangyu and Yan Buwen hated to see each other late, so naturally they would not deliberately make things difficult, but there was a deviation in their understanding of Cao Lingyuan's words, thinking that Cao Lingyuan and Yan Buwen were friends and must know each other very well. So I really thought that Yan Buwen had studied the tea ceremony. Cao Lingyuan was embarrassed by Li Xiaotang before, but he was saved by Su Wenjin and felt uncomfortable, and then turned his head to make it difficult and ignored it. In this way, under Cao Lingyuan's support, Yan Bu didn't say a reason, I was afraid that he would lose face. All of you here are high-level cultural people, and if this plan succeeds, Yan Buwen's figure will have to be cut in half.
Yan Buwen smiled, of course he didn't know much about the tea ceremony culture, but he still knew a little about some of the origins, qualities, and functions of tea, so he said casually: "I don't know deeply, Biluochun's original name was 'scaring people's incense', one said that it was given by Kangxi during the Kangxi period, when Kangxi visited Taihu Lake; one said that it was the Ming Dynasty, and the prime minister Wang Ao inscribed 'Biluochun'; one said that it was collected from Biluofeng." ”
"I've heard of it." Everyone nodded.
"I don't know what Brother Yan thinks about the tea in our cup?" Cao Lingyuan asked with a smile, shaking the teacup in his hand, and the tea leaves floated in it. There is nothing to say about the history of Biluochun, and whether it is professional or not depends on the analysis of tea.
Yan Buwen said: "The rope is slender, curled into a snail, full of batches, silver-green hidden green, fresh and moist color, tender fragrance and tranquility, sweet and fresh, the soup color is tender and green, clear and bright, and the bottom of the leaf is tender and even. Yan Buwen said casually, he had been to Su Mansion before, and his family background was prominent, so naturally this kind of tea would not be too bad, so Yan Buwen directly said that it was special, and others could not refute it.
Cao Lingyuan looked at the tea in the cup and said in surprise: "Is it really so good?" Yan Buwen was convincing and serious, and Cao Lingyuan didn't understand tea, and he didn't know what was wrong.
Yan Buwen said: "If you don't believe it, Brother Cao can come up with a better Biluochun for us to taste." Yan Buwen smiled, pushed the boat down the river, and reciprocated with peaches. Cao Lingyuan immediately froze, he didn't know what to say, he definitely didn't understand tea, and the words just now were also to make things difficult and keep a hard time, and to get back some face for himself. Now Yan Buwen asked a rhetorical question, but stopped Cao Lingyuan.
Cao Lingyuan couldn't argue, so he could only endure it: "Brother Yan knows a lot about tea, this must be a special Biluochun." Naturally, I couldn't have come up with better tea. ”
Su Wenjin smiled, although he didn't understand tea, Yan Buwen was also an acquaintance, and he didn't forcibly reflect his knowledge, but deliberately belittled it, which made Su Wenjin's opinion of Yan Buwen change a little.
"But I don't know that this Biluochun still has such a reason." Dai Wangyu looked at the tea leaves in the cup, except for being curved like a conch and having a special mellow aroma, he couldn't see the difference between them and other teas.
Everyone took a sip of tea and said, "It's indeed much more fragrant than the guest tea that is usually prepared at home." ”
During the tea, everyone chatted with each other for a while. Tea is just a prelude, everyone is engaged in literature, so naturally we talked about literature. There are scholars, teachers, editors-in-chief, lecturers, etc., and when it comes to literature, everyone's conversation box is opened. What are the famous artists of contemporary literature, some of the more famous works, etc., the interest is getting higher and higher, and after eating, they are still exploring. Although Dai Wangyu and Su Wenjin graduated from the Department of History with a master's degree, they also have a lot of literary research.
Later, someone mentioned Yan Buwen's poem, and after everyone tasted it, Dai Wangyu said: "Not only that, but Brother Buwen also has a book." ”
"Oh? What the. ”
"And."
"Get it out."
Everyone urged, just after eating and having nothing to do, come to taste the poems, although everyone has recently published poems, but after all, they are embarrassed to take them out directly, which is too showy. Now take the lead with Yan Buyi's poems, and everyone will naturally show their poems in the future.
Dai Wangyu looked at Yan Buwen, and saw that Yan Buwen was not unwilling, so he said: "Brother Buwen's poem is very short, only two sentences, but the meaning is far-reaching, everyone can either analyze it." The verse is as follows: The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to find the light. The name of the poem is: A Generation. ”
"Only two sentences?" Everyone couldn't believe it, but they still took out a pen in their pockets, wrote down the verses, and then analyzed them word by word. Such masterpieces are of a high standard as "Farewell to Cambridge", but the emotions contained are different, which is really a genius. All of you here are quite accomplished talents in the field of literature, so the analysis is not from the perspective of readers, but from the perspective of experts.
