Chapter 45 Tea Night Talk
Long Shaocong knelt in a beautifully decorated wooden house, in a daze, at this time, it was already past three watches in the night, like the moonlight of water, through the pane, hanging obliquely on the painted screen, sprinkling silver colors.
When he was just hit, Long Shaocong suddenly had a feeling of being on the gold list, I really don't know, among the crowd, why did Miss Green Pothos choose him, could it be because he was tall compared to others, and he seemed to stand out from the crowd? Thinking about it like this, Long Shaocong suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart, and it seemed that the advantages of the human race were still quite important.
But when I thought of what Iida Sheng said just now: "All the people who entered Miss Luluo's incense house woke up the next day and felt very **, but no one remembered what happened overnight." Long Shaocong felt nervous, especially the word "**" made him think about it, and he couldn't help but feel grass growing in his heart, and it was extremely itchy.
These two sisters are really weird, when dancing, they both appeared, and they were guests at night, but there was never only one sister Luluo, and the person who picked it up was selected by the younger sister Qingwang, this peculiar way suddenly made the whole city of nobles and ministers flock to it, and they will be able to be selected by Miss Qingwang, and stay in Miss Luthos for one night, as a capital to show off.
Thinking of the envious, jealous, and resentful eyes of Oda Katsucho and Aoki Saemon, Long Shaocong felt comfortable. Especially Aoki Saemon, when he heard that Long Shaocong was selected, he was stunned at first, cast a puzzled look, pondered for a moment, and then looked at him with envy, such a complex reaction made Long Shaocong a little unclear; On the other hand, Oda Katsucho is much more normal, with a resentful expression from beginning to end, eager to peel off his own skin.
"I really didn't expect that I, Long Shaocong, would have such a glamorous blessing......" Just when he was thinking nonsense, eating and laughing, there was a sound of opening the door from behind the screen, and then a burst of fragrance came to his face, and Long Shaocong, who was only drunk, was relaxed and happy, and his heart beat "bang" faster.
Leaning less, I saw a green shadow, curling out from behind the screen, and holding a set of exquisite tea sets in his hands.
This set of tea sets is very valuable, it is produced in the Ming Dynasty, it is the top grade of cloisonne porcelain, and the whole body exudes a crystal and blue light. Of course, Long Shaocong didn't know anything about this, at this time, his mind was completely attracted by the beauty in front of him, how could he have the heart to pay attention to other things.
I saw that the pothos took off the wide robe and big sleeves, and changed into a water-green close-fitting kimono, which looked more graceful and charming, and in a step-by-step shake, the cherry lips were red and bright, and the eyebrows were affectionate. In terms of appearance, this woman is far from being peerless, but she has a quiet orchid temperament and is out of the ordinary.
Long Shaocong saw that the pothos black hair hung down her shoulders, and the silk kimono was still dotted with daffodils and scattered flowers, and the fairy bones were not reduced by half, it seems that this woman has a soft spot for daffodils, and she is so gentle and elegant temperament, she is really like a narcissus, and she is endowed with Luoshen, graceful and jade.
"What's so unusual about the little woman's dress? It's so obsessed with adults. ”
A heavenly sound woke Long Shaocong from his delusion, he couldn't help but show shame, and said stupidly: "The girl is beautiful and charming, extraordinary, Shaocong can't help but look at it a few times, and I hope the girl will forgive me." Long Shaocong said and bowed down.
Hearing this, the pothos sneered: "It's the first time I've seen such an honest guest today, since the adults like it, it doesn't hurt to take a few more looks." ”
"Huh? Don't dare, don't dare ......" Long Shaocong suddenly restrained.
"Why don't you dare? Is the slave's appearance too ugly to dare to look at again, or is it afraid that the slave will be angry and punished afterwards? ”
"It's neither, it's the girl's natural face, and she can't bear to blaspheme at will."
Seeing his embarrassed face, Luluo couldn't help but sneer again, thinking that this nerd was very interesting, so he changed the topic and said: "I just let the adults wait for a long time, it's the slave family, and the slave family will make tea for the adults to make amends." After speaking, he knelt opposite Long Shaocong and put the tea set on the bamboo mat.
Long Shaocong saw that the other party finally stopped holding on, and secretly breathed a long sigh of relief. He belongs to the typical theoretical school, and has no practical experience in the affairs of men and women.
"I wonder what adults have about the way to drink tea?" Pothos asked casually while placing the tea set.
Long Shaocong was stunned for a moment and said: "For the tea ceremony, Shaocong doesn't know much, only knows that there are black tea, green tea, and flower tea, and the best tea leaves include West Lake Longjing, Biluochun, Qimen Kung Fu, etc. ”
Lu Luo smiled: "My lord is really modest, as soon as he speaks of Zhongtu tea, such as Qimen kung fu, the slave family has never heard of it, and today it is an eye-opener." ”
When Long Shaocong heard this, he subconsciously scratched his head and smiled. This is indeed not his talent, one to occupy the light of later generations, and the second is that Qimen Kung Fu tea did not officially appear until the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, and at this time it was the early years of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, needless to say Xianfeng, even his ancestor Nurhachi, is still working hard for the unification of the Jurchen tribes, pinching his fingers and counting, the difference between before and after is more than 200 years, where will the pothos know?
"It seems that the adults like the Middle-earth tea ceremony, and the slave family uses the tea leaves of the Ming Kingdom to entertain the adults. In fact, Japanese matcha is deliberately pursuing Zen, and the taste is quite bitter, but it has lost the true nature of pure heart and indifference, and the slave family is not very happy. After the pothos finished speaking, he didn't wait for Long Shaocong to answer, stood up, turned his waist, moved the lotus step lightly, and walked behind the screen.
The broken steps shook gently, the body was elegant, and the fragrant "buttocks" were pretty, only to see that Long Shaocong's blood veins were a little swollen, and he almost couldn't restrain himself.
After a while, an intoxicating voice came from behind the screen again, "The Qimen Kung Fu that the adults are talking about, there is really no one in the slave family here, but there is another kung fu tea produced in the Ming Kingdom - Biluochun." ”
People followed the voice, Long Shaocong was still enjoying the sound of nature, and the green pothos knelt down in front of him again, and no longer raised his eyes to look at him, but burned a sandalwood with his slender hand, inserted it on a delicate small incense burner next to him, and said: "This is the first kung fu of tea tasting, burning incense and channeling." ”
Before Long Shaocong could react, the pothos poured water into the teacup one by one, his movements were delicate and elegant, and he said in a coquettish voice: "Fairy bathing." ”
Long Shaocong really didn't know that there were so many ways to drink tea, and every step had such an elegant name, which was really unheard of and unseen, so he couldn't help but appreciate it and stopped talking.
Immediately afterwards, the pothos poured hot water into a delicate purple clay pot, and suddenly the spout of the pot was steamy, and after another sentence "the jade pot contains smoke", the teacup and the water in the pot were poured into a porcelain basin.
Long Shaocong thought, this is the so-called cleaning the tea set, the whole process is beautiful and elegant, it is simply intoxicating, and I don't want to wake up.
The pothos didn't care about the change in Long Shaocong's expression, but opened a fine porcelain vase, put it in front of Long Shaocong, and said, "This is the appearance of Biluo, please appreciate it." Biluochun has 'four uniques', that is, the shape is beautiful, the color is bright, the fragrance is strong, the taste is mellow, and the tea appreciation is the first to appreciate it: 'the beauty of the shape'. ”
Long Shaocong leaned over to take a look, and found that this tea strip is slender, curled into a snail, the color is silver and green, fresh and attractive, raise your nose and smell it, it is more tender and fragrant and quiet, and suddenly fade away from a day of sorrow, and the feeling of clear eyes and clear heart.
"What do you think of this tea?"
"I haven't tasted tea yet, just looking at Miss Luthos's elegant movements, and this smelling fragrance, Shaocong already has a sense of beauty in heaven and earth."
The green pothos smiled intoxicatingly and said: "My lord is really good at talking, I want to come to the slave family's maid Zen Yu is still boiling water, if my lord wants to drink this Biluochun, I'm afraid I will have to wait for a while." Taking advantage of this good night, the slave family dared to ask the adults for the true meaning of this tea ceremony, I wonder if the adults can teach them? ”
When Long Shaocong heard this, he secretly thought that ** a moment is worth a thousand gold, this woman didn't mention some serious things, but discussed the tea ceremony, what a waste of time, but the beauty wanted to ask, but she couldn't help answering, but she answered truthfully, saying that she didn't know anything about the tea ceremony, wouldn't it be very faceless?
So, he thought for a while, leaned over and replied: "Shaocong is a guest from outside, and I also ask Miss Lusheng to solve my doubts first, and Shaocong listens." ”
"In this way, the slave family will throw bricks and lead the jade first." Green Pothos did not shirk and continued: "The Japanese tea ceremony pays attention to the bitterness and realizes the Zen of life, and advocates that life is the same as tea tasting, which is a hard journey. In this regard, the little woman said that the nature of tea is light, but many constraints are artificially added, and she inevitably loses her authenticity. ”
"The slave family feels that different people taste tea, and their perceptions are very different, but they can be roughly divided into Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. The Taoist tea drink seeks ethereal and quiet, escaping the world and transcending the dust; Confucianism, on the other hand, uses tea to inspire each other, open-minded each other, and actively enter the WTO. ”
"The little woman's view of these three families is really the Confucian way of tea tasting, which is the most suitable for men to stand in today's troubled times and make contributions, I don't know which one is respected by adults, what are their ambitions?" After saying this, the green pothos had bright eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and looked at Long Shaocong without blinking.
Although Long Shaocong is shallow, he is not stupid, and he also understands the essence of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddha, so after listening to the words of the pothos, he thought about it for a while, and then said: "I just listened to Miss Luthos's opinion, it is really an enlightenment, but Shaocong thinks that what the girl said is only the superficial difference of the tea ceremony." ”
Hearing this, Lu Luo's pretty face raised slightly, staring at Long Shaocong, waiting for his next remarks.
Long Shaocong coughed lightly twice, peeked at the pothos but asked for a puzzled expression, and couldn't help but laugh secretly because he was clever and successful.
I saw him sit up straight and said loudly: "The origin of the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism mentioned by Miss Fangcai all emphasizes self-cultivation, and the selflessness of Buddhism, the non-action of Taoism, and the cultivation of Confucianism are all the pursuit of harmonious coexistence with nature, of course, the scope of Confucianism is broader and more positive. But I look at the way of tea tasting, the truth is in the mean, to be calm, impartial, and stable, then I know the wonder, just the so-called pampering and humiliation are not surprised, and watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court; Go and stay unintentionally, wandering with the clouds outside the sky. ”
"Therefore, the girl's theory only sees the appearance of tea tasting, just like the east and west, giving people the feeling that they are only blowing in different directions, but in fact, they are all winds, and they are all fluttering clothes and feeling cold when they blow on their bodies, but there is no essential difference."
After speaking, Long Shaocong bowed slightly, bowed and said, "Shaocong is talking nonsense, I hope the girl is not strange." He only talked about the tea ceremony this time, and avoided answering the sentence "What ambitions" was, because he had crossed over to this era by mistake, and he was already full of sorrow, and he really didn't dare to have any ambitions, just to spend the rest of his life in peace, and his wish was enough.
Green Pothos knew in his heart that he was using the topic to play and use strong words, but it was not good to blame him in person, so he could only shake the fan lightly and sneer at him.
Long Shaocong only pretended not to see it, and looked down at the delicate tea set, stunned......
At this time, I heard the paper door being opened, and a voice like a silver bell said, "Miss, the water is ready, and you can make tea." ”
