This tea word, Tang Jin's Chinese teacher talked about its evolution when he was in middle school, and when he was in college, the history teacher also talked about this word when he talked about ancient tea culture, so Tang Jin's memory is very profound.

It is understandable that Nangong Wan and the three daughters do not know, after all, there are still very few critical works on tea in the Northern Song Dynasty, and most of the literati and writers who love tea have also read the "Book of Tea", and this has run to the field of text evolution, so it is even more unknown.

Seeing Meihua's puzzled expression, Tang Jin was still slightly excited, and replied with a smile: "Definitely." During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court compiled a "Kaiyuan Character Yinyi", which was prefaced by Tang Xuanzong himself, and the book was changed from "Tu" to "tea". When Lu Yu wrote the "Book of Tea", he also wrote "tea". Therefore, there is such a saying. ”

Meihua took it this time and didn't refute it again, but she still had doubts and vigilance about Tang Jin in her bones. After all, they have the identity of a guard in addition to the maid.

Nangong Wan was also convinced, she really didn't know this kind of abducted knowledge, and couldn't help but praise: "It seems that the rumors can't be trusted, and the erudition of the son is amazing." ”

"Miss praises. Sometimes what you see with your own eyes may not be true, let alone rumors. Tang Jin said with a smile. The heart said, this is thanks to the blog post in the previous life.

"It seems that Miss Ben really almost missed out on talent." Nangong said gracefully, with a thirsty expression. There is indeed a shortage of talents now. The so-called thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one will be hard to find. Now it seems that this Tang Jin may really be a talent.

It's just that the master is thirsty for talent, but the maids have to guard against wolves and deception, after all, the relationship is not deep, no matter how talented Tang Jinbiao is, it may not be true to have real talent and real learning. Even if you have real talent and real learning, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are virtuous, right?

So, Meihua retorted: "Miss, it's Tang Jindao's hearsay that these tea ceremony stories are just a fluke, not really talented and not necessarily learned." ”

Tang Jin glanced at the plum blossoms, girl, I didn't offend you, master, right? Master, I know that you are a practitioner, wait for Master and I to practice Tai Chi for a few more days, and see if I don't clean up your chick.

"Miss, what Plum Blossom said is very true. However, it is easy to judge whether there is real talent and real learning, Miss, you can personally test a few questions to know whether it is true or false. Chrysanthemum also bowed down.

Tang Jin glanced at the chrysanthemum again, these two girls are trying to fight against me, right?

Nangong smiled and said: "Tang Gongzi, you have also seen that the two slaves and maids are still skeptical about whether you have real talent and learning, I wonder if Gongzi can teach you another lesson or two?" ”

Tang Jin took a look at the two maids, grandma's, didn't the two of them talk about endocrine disorders, why did they all carry it with me?

Well, since you are suspicious, then make a move.

"It's okay, I don't know what Miss is going to do?" Tang Jin asked.

"Is it okay to write a poem?" Nangong said gently.

"Good." Tang Jin nodded.

"Then I'll make a link."

Nangong Wan looked at Tang Jin, saw his simple clothes, yellow and thin face, and thought of the rumored unbearableness, and felt a couple.

"There it is."

"Recalling last year, during the famine in May, June and July, the firewood and rice were scorched and dried, there was no inch of poverty, no credit, no arrears, although there were close relatives and distant relatives, who was willing to send charcoal in the snow."

"Tang Gongzi, please couplet."

Tang Jin said in his heart, I'll go, you will give me the whole difficulty at once? Fortunately, this is famous all over the world, and Tang Jin is naturally familiar with it.

It is said that during the Tang Kaiyuan period, a certain student was poor and borrowed money from relatives and friends, but he was rejected. After the move, relatives and friends came to tie the knots one after another, and they flocked to it. The scholar was full of emotion, and posted a couplet at the door, and the upper couplet was what Nangong Wan said.

This couplet has a story background, which doesn't seem to be difficult, but it's really difficult to pick out a couplet alone to give people the right one, and it's really difficult to go to the right one more than the original.

Tang Jin smiled slightly and replied: "Fortunately, this year, in the first, second and third fields of the imperial examination, the articles are all suitable, and I won the Five Classics, the name is also fragrant, the surname is also fragrant, and the three and Li Si are not restricted, all of which are the icing on the cake." ”

This couplet is very neat, the three girls have nothing to say, right? Unexpectedly, Meihua said: "Miss, let's have another original sentence, this sentence is too famous, I'm afraid he overheard it." ”

Tang Jin rolled his eyes and responded, you want to be original, right? I'm not afraid, sir. I still know some formulas for the pair master, which is the basic skill.

Heaven to earth, rain to wind. Continents against the sky. Mountain flowers to sea trees, red sun to the sky. The thunder is faint and foggy. The sun goes down against the sky.

The river is against Han, and the green is against red. Yu Bo to Lei Gong. The smoke tower is against the snow cave, and the moon hall is against the heavenly palace. The clouds are shining, and the sun is hazy. Sandals on fishing canopies.

Mountains to the sea, China to Song. Four Peaks to Three Princes. The palace flower is against the forbidden willow, and the goose is against the river dragon. Qingxia Palace, Guanghan Palace. Pick up the green on the topic red. Zhuang Zhou dreams of butterflies, and Lu Wangzhao flies to bears.

……

With these basic skills, and then reciting thousands of pairs in the stomach, coupled with quick thinking, to respond to all changes without change, then dare to be like Ji Xiaolan in the Qing Dynasty boasted that "there is no unrivaled pair in the world." ”

Of course, if you encounter such an absolute sub as "Shanghai's tap water comes from the sea", if Tang Jin wants to go out, it will depend on chance.

For pairs, Nangong Wan thinks that she is not inferior to men. The non-original just now is just a temptation.,Plum blossom mention yì originality that naturally can't be sought.。

"Well, then I'll be ugly." Nangong said gently.

At this time, Nangong Wan stood up and took a few steps in the hall, gracefully walking a few steps.

Looking at the entire Nangong Mansion from afar, I thought that I was a female streamer who was busy with the family and worried about the three rooms and one vein, but she didn't lose her personal hobbies, and I instantly had an idea.

Nangong Wan turned to look at Tang Jin, and said, "Be busy for others, busy for yourself, take a leisurely time, and have a cup of tea." ”

"Childe, please."

After the pair, Nangong Wan sat back in her position, and said in her heart that the pair seems simple, but in fact, it may take some time to get it right.

The two daughters of plum blossom chrysanthemum looked at each other arrogantly, and their eyes seemed to say, I'm afraid this Tang Jin is going to be stumped, right?

Chrysanthemum smiled: "Tang Jin, you can't come out now, right?" Do you want to go home and think about it?

Meihua interjected: "Miss, if Tang Jin can't get it right in a cup of tea, then it's considered a failure, right?" ”

Nangong Wan smiled secretly, these two Nizi, but still nodded, "Back then, Cao Zhi became a poem in seven steps, how could a small pair take a lot of time?" I think Tang Gongzi can come up with the next couplet in a cup of tea. ”

Tang Jin has the urge to vomit blood, can I compare with Cao Zhi? But thinking about it the other way, it seems that the eldest lady of the Nangong family is really not a vase, even if it is a vase, it is a thoughtful vase.

You're going to play the seven-step poem, right? Then I will fulfill you.

Tang Jin really stood up, walked up in the pavilion, and just stopped after walking seven steps, "There is." I'll just apply for the job. ”

The third daughter was a little surprised, Cao Zhi became a poem in seven steps, and you became a pair in seven steps? So fast? What's the use of speed alone, is there quality? The eyes of the three girls were full of anticipation.

After a while, Tang Jin said: "Seek hardship for food, hardship for clothing, fun in hardship, bring a pot of wine." ”

The three girls were shocked, yes, yes, not only the battle is neat, but also the artistic conception is the same, and it also contains the philosophy of life, which is the best pair. Nangong Wan sighed secretly, if the next link she came up with was compared with others, it would be overshadowed.

This time it's original, Tang Jin is also so neat, the third girl is a little convinced.

Meihua wanted to say something again, but Nangong Wan interrupted: "Didn't you hear, Tang Gongzi said to bring a pot of wine." By the way, use a good wine gourd. ”

Not for anything else, just for Tang Jin to be able to make a better pair than herself, she should express it. After all, there have been many temptations before and there is a lot of disrespect.

Nangong Wan knows that seeking talents is also particular. Don't you hear that Liu Bei looked at the thatched house to seek Zhuge Liang to go down the mountain and protect the Shu country in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms; King Wen pulled the cart for 800 steps to get Jiang Ziya's assistance, and the Zhou Dynasty enjoyed 800 years of country.

If Tang Jin really has the ability, he is afraid that his temper is also weird, and sending a pot of wine should be regarded as the sincerity of solicitation.

"Yes, miss." Plum blossom glared at Tang Jin and left to get the wine.

In this way, Tang Jin's true talent and learning were preliminarily affirmed by Nangong Wan. After a while, as long as Tang Jin accepted the gift wine, there was only a matter of talking about the contract.

"Tang Gongzi, we have tried it many times and hope to forgive me. Now it seems that Tang Gongzi does have real talent and learning, and the rumors in the market are self-defeating. I wanted to invite a housekeeper, but now it seems that it is more than enough to be a steward. Nangong Wan said.

Nangong Wan was thinking that it was time to throw an olive branch. Of course, asking Tang Jin to be the steward is naturally a scene of putting a high hat on him. If Tang Jin really doesn't know that he wants to be in charge, then he needs to examine his emotional intelligence. It stands to reason that people with a high IQ have a low EQ.

The words of the master, the subordinates naturally understand the implicit meaning.

Chrysanthemum hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss, the position of steward is not trivial. Although Tang Jin is a bit talented, but after all, he is young, and the slave maid thinks that it is better to let him start with the family first. If it's hard to even be a family member, let alone be in charge. ”

Tang Jin is naturally not a fool, he heard Nangong Wan's polite words, and said with a smile: "What Chrysanthemum said is very true, the position of steward not only requires ability, but also experience, experience, and loyalty. ”

Nangong Wan listened to the secret joy, you see how considerate and sensible she is.

"Okay, in that case, let's talk about the contract, shall we? I don't know if Tang Gongzi wants to sign a lifelong contract? Or is it a ten-year long contract, or a three-year short contract? Nangong Wan asked.

Tang Jin didn't answer in a hurry, and asked, "What's the difference?" ”
