Chapter 68: The Gift A long-suppressed anger
Bailiyun was stunned for a moment, then nodded firmly, and said, "I know, thank you, Brother Keming!" From now on, call me a word-free! ”
Du Ruhui smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, this is the you I know, self-confidence, that indomitable momentum, no disease, congratulations, with your master's expectations, live well!" ”
Bailiyun nodded and said, "I will!" ”
Du Ruhui chuckled lightly and said to the family who had not left yet: "Du Zhong, don't hold on, hurry up and serve tea!" ”
Du Zhong, who was very surprised by the content of what the two said, nodded and said, "Yes, my lord!" With that, he went down to make tea. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Bailiyun hurriedly stopped: "Slow, Du Zhong." ”
Du Ruyan was surprised: "What's the matter, no disease?" ”
Bailiyun smiled, pointed to the gift on the desk and said, "This is the gift I brought to Brother Keming." ”
Du Ruhui shook his head and said, "Hey, what other gifts do you bring, didn't I say it, I just want to talk!" ”
Bailiyun waved his hand and said: "Etiquette is not costly, this is a must." ”
Du Ruhui joked and said: "I see that you make all kinds of accusations against Confucian culture in the Taiji Palace, and I think you don't like these rules!" ”
Bai Liyun was suddenly a little embarrassed, and explained: "There, Brother Keming is laughing!" I'm not a radical and I denigrate all Confucian culture. It's just that we are dissatisfied with some dogmatism and those who are full of benevolence and morality but don't do the right thing, and Confucianism, especially Confucianism, which has gone through various fusions, still has a lot to offer. ”
Bai Liyun continued: "Besides, no one said that all etiquette and other things are Confucian, in the final analysis, Confucianism is just one of the hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the truth has existed since ancient times. Without Confucianism, some things will not be broken, but it is just a change of inheritor! ”
Du Ruhui nodded and admitted: "This is true! ”
Bailiyun said: "That is, don't forget, I am also in the Taoist lineage, and I still understand these basic etiquette." After all, the biggest difference between humans and animals is to know etiquette and observance, and without these, wouldn't we be beasts walking upright! ”
Du Ruhui laughed: "This metaphor is very apt!" ”
Du Ruhui asked again: "Then what kind of gift did you bring, is it tea?" ”
Bai Liyun said: "That's right, it's tea, but it's not ordinary tea, it's different from what you've drunk before." I made this myself. ”
Du Ruhui looked at him curiously and asked, "Do you still make tea?" ”
Bailiyun said proudly: "Of course, Taoism is a hodgepodge, and there is nothing that cannot be involved. I'm the same, except for the hard work of having a baby, which I can't do, there are few things I can't do, and making tea is nothing. ”
Du Ruhui played with taste: "I won't be surprised when you can have a child!" ”
Bailiyun said angrily: "You can't see it in this life, in the next life!" Maybe she will be reincarnated as a woman after reincarnation! ”
Du Ruhui said: "It's impossible in the next life, I'm so much older than you, I'm definitely ahead of you." ”
Bai Liyun didn't speak, because in his memory, if he remembered correctly, Du Ruhui seemed to have died early due to stomach problems in the fourth year of Zhenguan.
Du Ruhui took the tea bag, opened it and looked at it, one by one. Smelled it, and said, "It's very fragrant, it seems that your craftsmanship is really good!" ”
Baili Yun said: "Of course, I'm not blowing!" ”
Du Ruhui asked again: "But why didn't you crush it!" ”
Baili Yun said: "Ah, this is a new way, you don't need to crush it, and the way to drink it is different!" ”
This is true, at this time, the tea saint Lu Yu of the Shangyuan Dynasty has not yet been born. At present, tea is mainly used with various spices and traditional Chinese medicine, as a way to eliminate food and relieve greasy, and as a substitute for vegetables in other places to supplement the trace elements required by the body, so most of them are milled into powder, and a small part is made into large tea bricks.
Du Ruhui asked: "Then what kind of tea are you?" ”
Baili Yundao: "This is just the initial product, called Maojian, and it will be more comprehensively subdivided in the future." ”
Bailiyun said to Du Zhong who was waiting next to him: "Du Zhong, you go and boil a pot of boiling water and then those two tea bowls." ”
Du Zhong nodded and went out to make arrangements.
Du Ruhui asked, "What, don't you need to boil?" ”
Baili Yun said: "No, in fact, it is still boiled more fragrantly, and the process of brewing tea is a rare enjoyment, but the utensils he needs are different, and it is better to be professional." I brewed it directly today, so I can drink it too. ”
Du Ruyan said: "It's really a lot!" ”
Bai Liyun frowned and said: "That's right, I knew that I would have brought you a set of tea sets, but I was in such a hurry that I forgot!" ”
Du Ruhui waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll go to your place another day, and you can do it for me again." I've heard from Zhijie that what you have built there is like a paradise, and it is a rare and good place, so you must go and see it! ”
Bailiyun frowned, and then said: "Then I will welcome you, and I will treat you well!" ”
Du Ruhui had been looking at Baili Yun, and although the frowning action was soon gone, he still asked him to catch it.
Du Ruhui asked with a smile: "Why, are you still worried about the matter of Zhijie?" ”
Bai Liyun didn't expect him to ask like this, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's nothing!" ”
Du Ruhan smiled: "No disease, are you worried about me?" ”
Bailiyun sighed and said with a wry smile: "How can you forget!" ”
Du Ruhui said solemnly: "You must know that he is thinking about His Majesty, this is not a private matter!" ”
Bailiyun looked at Du Ruhui and said with some excitement: "So what's the matter, no matter what the process is, the result is the same anyway, isn't it?" ”
Du Ruhui tried to defend: "At least, he has no selfish intentions, he is just doing his duty, isn't he?" ”
Bai Liyun clenched his fists and said: "I only know that just a moment ago I was still silent, that is, Cheng Yanjin's eldest son made plans again, I gave him a lot of benefits, and I didn't avoid him for many things, and even later I changed my original method of doing it completely by myself because of him, and turned to cooperate with the imperial court." ”
Bai Liyun asked: "Brother Keming, you have also seen the world, you should know how much interest it is, and how big a choice it is for me to make this kind of decision." Do you think it's possible to change someone? ”
Du Ruhui didn't know what to say, indeed, after learning about it later, he knew what a huge industry it was, not to mention a part of the dividends, that is, the daily output would be an astonishing number.
Du Ruhui nodded and said, "That's right, probably no one would do this." ”
Bailiyun roared: "But I did it, I could, just because they were the closest people I had since I came to Datang, I did it, and I did it without hesitation." I don't regret it because I have nothing, and I cherish this hard-won friendship. But look, what did he do to me? He played with me without even saying hello. ”
Bai Liyun asked excitedly: "You were there at the time, and even before their discussions you knew better than me, you should know how difficult my situation is, if it weren't for the weight I threw later, if it weren't for the fact that my martial arts were too strong, so strong that they could hardly control me completely, what do you think would happen to me?" ”
Bai Liyun said angrily: "Wanted, secretly executed, or directly treated as a hostile element?" ”
Du Ruyan was speechless, these are all possible, he has been in officialdom for a long time, especially before Li Shimin ascended the throne, he has seen too many such things, and even experienced them personally.
