After Lin Yiqing sat down, he found that in the pavilion, there was no one else except himself, Saigo Takamori and Kirino Chiho.

"Hehe, this is Chiho, the beloved daughter of General Kirino Toshiaki, the tea art is exquisite, and there is no one else in Satsuma who is unbeatable." Saigo Takamori introduced Lin Yiqing with a smile, "However, you have to be patient when drinking her tea, hehe, without an hour, I'm afraid you won't be able to drink it." ”

Lin Yiqing smiled slightly: "Being in this fairyland, accompanied by a peerless face, you can forget the troubles of the world, why are you afraid of the passage of time?" ”

Listening to Lin Yiqing's answer, Saigo Takamori couldn't help but slap his hands and admire, "Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

At this time, Chiho Kirino had already taken out a white towel from her kimono, and began to gently wipe the tea set that was already extremely clean, she first carefully wiped a delicate bamboo ladle with a long and slender handle, then gently wiped the small bowls of white porcelain and celadon in turn, and then used the bamboo ladle to scoop the spring water from a clay pot into a small porcelain pot, put it on a delicate copper stove and burn it, and then poured the fine green tea powder from a small white porcelain jar into a small bowl, and slowly swirled it with a bamboo brush...... All this was done very slowly, some procedures were done repeatedly, and it took nearly half an hour to wipe the tea set alone, Lin Yiqing watched her do all this intently, and her originally somewhat restless heart slowly calmed down.

Although her movements were very slow, Lin Yiqing did not feel the slightest boredom, and Chiho Kirino's gentle and flowing movements seemed to have a hypnotic effect, which fascinated him. From time to time, a cool breeze blows from the air outside, and Chiho Kirino's jade arm seems not to be moving by itself, but is blown by the breeze, and her slender jade hand is not like a tea set, but something softer, like a light veil, like a white cloud, like a ...... Time, yes, she was caressing time, and time became soft and sinuous in her hands, flowing as slowly as the mist in the bamboo forest. This is another time in which the history of blood and fire disappears, and the earthly world retreats into a distant place where it does not exist, with only white clouds, bamboo forests, and the fragrance of tea, and this is really the world of "Wakei Seishi" in the Japanese tea ceremony.

I don't know how long it took, the tea was finally boiled, and after a series of complicated ceremonies, it was finally handed to Lin Yiqing and Saigo Takamori. Lin Yiqing tasted the turquoise tea, a bitter fragrance refreshed people's hearts, and something seemed to become clear and transparent in his mind.

"As long as I drink Chiho's tea, no matter how much trouble I have on weekdays, it will disappear." Saigo Takamori put down the teacup and looked at Chiho Kirino, a hint of tenderness and love flashed in his eyes, "With a girl like Chiho, the world is very beautiful, but our world is also fragile, we men, we should love all this." Saigo Takamori said, his tone becoming agitated, "What do you think?" Hanpeng? ”

"That's what Mr. Nanzhou said. People's hearts are beautiful, and beautiful people and things are worth guarding with life. ”

Listening to Lin Yiqing's answer, Chiho Kirino glanced at him, smiled gently, and made him tea again.

Lin Yiqing looked at Chiho Kirino, who was pouring tea for him, and unconsciously compared her with Xiaotong in his heart.

Compared with Kirino Chiho, Kirino Chiho seems to be a beauty who came out of the painting, like a fairy, giving people a sense of unreachable, although Koki is not as quiet as Kirino Chiho, but her beauty and agility are also unforgettable. If Chiho Kirino is a fairy in the sky, then Koki is an elf who has fallen into the mortal world......

Lin Yiqing suddenly found that he was indulging in the comparison between the two girls and couldn't extricate himself, and he couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment on his face, and he tried his best to suppress his "evil" thoughts from his mind.

"Hanpeng is so talented, I think he was born in a big family, right?" Saigo Takamori asked.

Lin Yiqing knew that Xixiang Longsheng would have this question, he had already thought of the words before, and nodded very calmly, "The family can't be said, in the ancestral home of Fujian, the Fuzhou family, the ancestor is also a distant relative of Lin Wenzhonggong, but later the family fell into the middle of the road, and had to give up school to engage in business and drift overseas." Lin Yiqing said, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

After Lin Yiqing said this, he secretly screamed "ashamed" in his heart.

The only historical celebrity he can think of now is the famous late Qing Dynasty national hero Lin Zexu, but he doesn't know whether Lin Zexu exists in this time and space, and he also calls it this name, so he uses the term "Lin Wenzhonggong".

"Hanpeng turned out to be Lin Wenzhonggong, and he was disrespectful and disrespectful." After listening to Lin Yiqing's answer, Saigo Takamori was in awe and bowed as a salute, while Lin Yiqing hugged his fists and bowed in return.

"Why did Hanpeng come to Japan?" Saigo Takamori asked again, he said, staring at Lin Yiqing's eyes, "I think that Han Peng should have a deep meaning when he came to see me like this." ”

Listening to Saigo Takamori's words, Lin Yiqing knew that he had bluffed him, and he snickered in his heart.

Where does he have any deep meaning, and everything he has said so far is completely to cover up his own travel experience.

Lin Yiqing casually glanced at Chiho Kirino, and found that her face was a little flushed, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange, but he immediately understood.

At that time, the woman sitting in the small shoulder behind Saigo Takamori should be Chiho Kirino!

Thinking of this, Lin Yiqing's face was also slightly feverish. The atmosphere in the pavilion is a little subtle.

"In the next place, it is indeed for Mr. Nanzhou." Lin Yiqing calmed down, recalled the history of this period in his mind, and said, "Mr. Nanzhou can still enjoy the beauty of the tea ceremony here today, regardless of the world, you must know that the dark tide outside is turbulent, and they are all coming to Mr. Nanzhou." ”

Listening to Lin Yiqing's words, Saigo Takamori took a sip of tea quietly, while Chiho Kirino raised his head and glanced at Lin Yiqing again.

"Oh? Is it that serious? Saigo Takamori smiled, "I'm retired now, I don't care about political affairs, but I'm just a field house, why are you staring at me?" ”

"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty." Lin Yiqing said, "With Mr. Nanzhou's great talent, even if he retires, some people will not be at ease." Don't Mr. Nanzhou understand? ”

"With the motto of 'overthrowing the wisdom and courage of the first generation and opening up the mind of eternity', Mr. believes that as a person, he should learn from Sima Wengong (Sima Guang), and there is nothing that cannot be humane with others, and he will always be admired in the future." Lin Yiqing stared at Saigo Takamori and carefully observed his reaction, "Sir may think that now that a new Japan has been established, all internal political and military affairs should be done impartially and no longer resort to trickery, but the world is deceitful, and not everyone may be like Mr. If you don't prepare in advance, you are afraid that a catastrophe is coming. ”
