Chapter 136: The Way of Tea

"So, I'm relieved?"

Chen Jingzhi let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Did Miss Rou give birth to a boy or a girl?" ”

Wu Qing was puzzled in his heart, this Chen Jingzhi is a big official, the governor of Yangzhou is led by Li Xianyao, the king of Zhou, so Changshi is the leader of the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion, and the power is not something that an ordinary person can imagine, but why do you care so much about Pei Rou? Could it be that he has a crush on Pei Rou?

However, Wu Qing still immediately said: "Back to my lord, I gave birth to a girl." ”

Chen Jingzhi said with a smile: "I once had a relationship with Master Pei Qing Pei, so it is appropriate to take care of his daughter a little, but you, son, I am afraid that once the Pei family knows about it in the future, it will be hated by the Pei family. ”

Wu Qing sighed in his heart, it turned out that Chen Jingzhi thought of this, and couldn't help but feel ashamed of his dirty heart, but he didn't want to explain, so he arched his hand and said: "The adults are coming to the cold house, and I invite the adults to drink tea in the cold house." ”

Chen Jingzhi was not polite, and said: "I just happened to discuss poetry with you, Gongzi." ”

Wu Qing's heart tightened, can this be so polite to himself from the third-grade master. But as a last resort, he followed behind Chen Jingzhi, and entered the study under the guidance of Wu Qing. Wu Qing immediately instructed the maidservants to bring a tea ceremony utensil, and he wanted to make tea for Chen Jingzhi himself.

The guest sat down, of course, Wu Qing did not sit in the main seat, but went to Chen Jing's head, and the maid brought the tea set.

Wu Qing said: "My lord, please sit down for a while, and cook tea for my adult in the evening to show my respect." ”

The way of tea, since the south spread to the north, the northern scholars began to accept the custom of drinking tea, to this day. There are many ways to drink tea. However, in recent years, with the introduction of the novel way of drinking tea by Qingxin Tea House, it has gradually been accepted by the world. Under the deliberate promotion of Wuqing, the way of tea was gradually recognized by the literati of the Tang Dynasty. And cooking tea for someone is the same as toasting, it is a form of respect for the other person.

Chen Jingzhi naturally liked this feeling, he couldn't help but look at Wu Qing carefully, and said, "That Jingzhi is ashamed!" ”

Wu Qing smiled, then lit the charcoal, put it in the furnace, and took the specially customized mandarin duck purple clay pot. The ornamentation on it is extremely exquisite, Wuqing first washed it with spring water three times, and then poured in half a pot of mountain spring water, and then put it on the charcoal stove to increase the charcoal fire. Wait for the water to boil in the pot when the water is boiling. Then pour it into the glass teapot that has been prepared. The tea set has already been put into the Huangshan Maofeng prepared by Wuqing.

Huangshan Maofeng was named after Wuqing. Produced on the peak of Huangshan Mountain in Shezhou, where almost all the tea mountains were bought by Wuqing, someone was responsible for the tea field in that area, every year in the Qingming Dynasty, the first fat and strong buds were selected and fried. It became green tea, which is Wuqing's favorite tea.

The moment the boiling water rushes into the glass teapot, the tea gradually turns pale yellow, and there seems to be a mist condensing at the mouth of the cup. The tea soup slowly turns green, the tea fragrance is tangy, take a deep breath, and the charm is deep.

Chen Jingzhi looked at Wuqing, who was so careful and serious, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, when he was in charge today, if this son entered the court, the future would be limitless. I had some thoughts in my heart, and then said with a smile: "Childe is really a wonderful person, such a way of drinking tea, being shown by Childe, is really an eye-opener for Jingzhi." ”

Listening to the compliments, Wu Qing smiled: "This is just a very ordinary way to drink tea, and it is not a tea ceremony." ”

As he spoke, Wu Qing put the purple sand sieve into the open glass teapot, picked up the brewed tea, filtered out the tea leaves, and saw the pale green juice flowing out slowly, and finally after thinking about it, Wu Qing turned over the white porcelain teacup, poured the tea, and handed it to Chen Jingzhi with both hands.

"Taste tea, please!"

Chen Jingzhi also took it with both hands, and then felt that the tea was already warm, so he slowly put it into his mouth, let the tea slowly flow into his mouth, and a feeling of bitterness spread throughout his tongue.

Suddenly, he realized that this was tea tasting, and this was the so-called tea ceremony in Qing Xue!

Chen Jingzhi finally understood, he was happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "It turns out that this is the real tea ceremony, and it is really extraordinary." Then he picked up the teacup again and tasted the tea slowly, feeling the endless aftertaste.

Wu Qing took a sip of tea and appreciated it in his heart, this is real tea, he likes this kind of thing, this feeling. Seeing Chen Jingzhi's smile, he said, "If the adult likes it, you can give it to the adult." ”

Chen Jingzhi asked strangely: "Could it be that this tea is exquisite?" ”

Wu Qing said with a smile: "In the way of making tea, the most important thing is to choose water, the water of mountain springs, followed by well water, then the water of rivers and lakes, and finally rain." The water is selected, then it is the tea, the tea in the south and the north are different, the southern tea is moisturized by rain and dew, the quality is good, and the tea taste is fragrant; Northern tea has less rain and more drought, and the tea taste is a little more bitter. What adults are producing today is the Huangshan Maofeng produced in Shezhou, which is just at the boundary between the north and the south, so there is both, there is a fragrance, and there is a bitterness. ”

Chen Jingzhi didn't expect that there was such a knowledge in this tea, and he was very happy in his heart, and today can be regarded as a great knowledge.

"Childe's breadth of knowledge is very admirable. In particular, the song created by the prince in the Tengwang Pavilion is now spread all over the world. ”

Wu Qing smiled, although he plagiarized the songs of later generations, his face was not red and his heart was not beating now, and he arched his hand and said: "That's just a work of the Qing Dynasty, it can't be counted." ”

Chen Jingzhi has never doubted Wuqing's talent, not to mention that he has read the two books "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" and "Fengshen Ji", and even studied Wuqing's poetry and writings, so he can be regarded as a fan of Wuqing. Therefore, when Wu Qing was pardoned to visit Jiangnan, he sent his servants to wait outside Yangzhou early.

didn't expect Wu Qing to have something to do with Miss Rou in Qingxianglou, and this Girl Rou was Pei Rou, the daughter of the Pei family, although he didn't know the reason, why did this girl want to break away from the family, but in line with morality, he also took care of it.

After some inquiry, Chen Jingzhi guessed that the child in Pei Rou's belly was related to Wu Qing, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this swinger in Luoyang is really not ordinary. This is why there is a visit, one fulfills his dream of meeting an idol, and the other is also for the future advancement.

Wu Qing and Chen Jingzhi talked about the shortcomings of today's literary world from poetry and writing, and then talked about the selection system of the imperial court. In Wu Qing's view, the method of bolting and selecting not only blocked genius-level figures, but also prevented people with expertise from being used by the imperial court.

Chen Jingzhi had reservations about Wu Qing's opinion, although he also felt that what Wu Qing said was very reasonable, but it still couldn't convince him.

Wu Qing naturally will not break the existing concept and let this master of the third rank completely admit his thoughts, but at least let him understand that if he Wu Qing is in charge of the center, it will be the time for reform.

After sending Chen Jingzhi away, it was almost dusk, and Wu Qing wanted to go to Pei Rou's room to see his daughter, and he didn't want a slave to come to tell him.

"Childe, there are more than a dozen Yangzhou Prefecture students waiting outside the house, and they implore Childe to meet."

Wu Qing was stunned, he had not been here in Yangzhou for a few days, how could these students know? He didn't know that the scene where he flew to hug the beauty in Qingxiang Building was seen by a student who came to listen to the piano. When the student inquired later, he learned that it was Wu Qing, the number one talent in the world!

Wuqing can't have a shelf, and there is no future for any era to pretend to be high, so he took a wash, and then walked towards the outside of the house. (To be continued......)
