Chapter 094: Xiangming Offensive
The most annoying thing in the world is to disturb other people's meals! What is more annoying in the world than disturbing other people's meals is disturbing other couples to eat the reunion dinner after a long absence. But there are such eyeless guys who like to do such uninteresting things. Who is this person?
Anyway, Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao are having a good time! The doorman in the house outside the door suddenly came to report: "Master Qiqi, Lord Changshi Zhang Zhao took a group of adults to ask to see the master outside the door!" ”
Zhou Yu, as the governor of Jiangdong, naturally has thousands of opportunities every day, and his military affairs are very busy. Therefore, Zhou Yu can not spend much time with his wife Xiao Qiao. So when Zhou Yu was away, Mrs. Xiao Qiao was responsible for all the big and small things in the Zhou Mansion. For a young woman, it is not easy to take on the responsibility of a family. What's more, Mrs. Xiao Qiao is at a prime age, and a girl of this age is the time when she needs her husband's careful love, but our Zhou Yu is involved in the secular affairs of the army, but she is flawless. In this regard, Zhou Yu has always felt sorry for Xiao Qiao.
Originally, I came back this time to accompany Mrs. Xiao Qiao for a few days. But where can these Wenchen generals in Jiangdong stop the governor of Zhou? No, I just returned home after Sun Quan's banquet, and my buttocks were still hot, so these guys followed, obviously not wanting to let the husband and wife make out a good time!
Zhou Yu looked at Xiao Qiao helplessly, "Madam, look ......"
Xiao Qiao was naturally unhappy in his heart, but the young lady from a big family naturally had her own knowledge. Seeing Zhou Yu's helpless and pitiful look, Xiao Qiao said with a smile: "Husband, go quickly!" National affairs matter! Now that the husband's favor is in full swing, and all the civil and military are visiting, if the husband doesn't go, won't it make others think that the husband is pampered and proud! That's not good! ”
Zhou Yu got up with a smile and gave Xiao Qiao a smile: "Thank you Madame for your understanding!" Thank you Madame for your understanding! Husband go and go back! Then he turned to Menzi and said that he wanted to change his clothes, and asked Menzi to take Zhang Zhao and them to the living room to wait first.
Zhou Yu wears casual clothes at home, but if you see guests, you can't wear casual clothes anymore! That would be rude! So Zhou Yu went back to his bedroom and ordered the maid to change into a more formal wide-robed and long-sleeved coat for herself when she met guests.
At this time, in the hall of the Zhou Mansion, the representatives of the Jiangdong Lord sent by Zhang Zhao basically came. A group of people discussed how to persuade Zhou Yu to join the big camp of the surrender faction.
"Hahaha, I've kept you waiting, it's really Zhou Yu's! Don't blame you! Zhou Yu has a wide robe and long sleeves, and he is dressed as a Confucian. In the era when Confucianism was prevalent in the Han Dynasty, Zhou Yu also received a good Confucian education since he was a child. People say that Zhou Yu treats people like a spring breeze and drizzle, which makes people unconsciously intoxicated. This is actually due to the orthodox education of Confucianism that Zhou Yu received from an early age, which attached great importance to the warmth and warmth of interpersonal communication.
When everyone sitting in the column saw Zhou Yu coming out, they also quickly stood up, saying "I don't dare".
"Oops! It's all your own people, so don't be polite! You may be seated! You may be seated! Boy, serve tea! Zhou Yu smiled and greeted Zhang Zhao and others.
After a while, the servants of the Zhou Mansion served each guest a cup of tea.
The tea ceremony is a traditional Chinese culture, and many people in later generations believe that China's tea culture originated in the Tang Dynasty, but this is actually wrong. In fact, as early as the ancient Shennong clan, tea has been used by the Chinese. However, at that time, tea was not used as a daily drink, but as an herbal remedy for detoxification.
Lu Yu, the tea saint of the Tang Dynasty, pointed out in his book "The Book of Tea": "Tea is drinking, originating from Shennong's family and smelling from Lu Zhougong." In the Shennong era (c. 2737 BC), it was discovered that the fresh leaves of the tea tree could detoxify. "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica" once recorded: "Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, encountered seventy-two poisons every day, and got tea to solve them".
From the late Western Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, tea gradually developed into a high-end drink in the imperial court. For example, in the Han Dynasty's "Farewell Biography of Zhao Feiyan", there is a record of drinking tea. Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty collapsed, "After (that is, the emperor) slept in horror for a long time, the waiter called out, Fang Jue, and said: I saw the emperor in my dream, the emperor gave me to sit in the clouds, and the emperor ordered to enter the tea." Left and right to play the emperor, after the emperor to the sun is not careful, do not suck this tea. This shows that at that time, tea had become a drink in the royal family.
From the Western Jin Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, tea gradually became a common drink. There are also increasing records of tea drinking. "Guangling Wu Lao Biography" contains: "When Emperor Jin and Yuan, there was an old grandmother who mentioned a vessel every day, left it in the city, and the people of the city bid for it", indicating that tea has gradually become an ordinary drink.
In the Tang and Song dynasties, tea has become a common drinking product that is "indispensable for everyone".
The history of tea drinking is also very old. Tea drinking originated in the southwest. Before the Qin Dynasty, tea was mainly produced and drunk in Sichuan. Gu Yanwu's "Rizhilu" in the Ming Dynasty wrote: "The Qin people took Shu, and they knew what to do. It can be seen that the custom of drinking tea came from Sichuan. Because of the thousands of mountains and rivers, the "Shu Road" is dangerous, and tea planting and drinking are limited to Sichuan.
It was not until the Qin unified China and promoted economic exchanges between Sichuan and other regions that tea cultivation and tea drinking gradually spread from Sichuan. It first spread to the Yangtze River basin, and in the 5th century, tea drinking in the north became popular. In the sixth and seventh centuries, it spread to the northwest. With the widespread spread of tea drinking habits, tea consumption has increased rapidly, and since then, tea has become a common favorite beverage of people of all ethnic groups in China.
It can be seen that tea existed as a drink during the Three Kingdoms period. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han family declined, and tea, which was originally used as a royal drink, gradually spread to the people. Like Zhou Yu, the children of a family who have been high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the Eastern Han Dynasty for generations, are even more familiar with the food culture of the court and actively imitate it.
Zhou Yu has loved tea since he was a child, and there is a tea garden in the manor of Zhoufu in Jiangdong that specializes in planting and supplying Zhoufu drinking tea.
Of course, tea at this time was not popular after all. So even the children of Jiangdong's big families like Yu Tuo, there are not many opportunities to drink tea. Therefore, it was still a luxury to entertain guests with tea in this era.
"Hahaha, the tea in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is different! Sweet and pure, it makes people have an endless aftertaste! After Yu finished drinking, he smiled and praised.
"Praise from Brother Zhongxiang, Yu is overjoyed! If my brother likes it, I'll let the servant send a few pounds to my brother's house! Look good! "Generous people are always liked by the world, and Zhou Yu is such a person. At this time, due to the limited level of tea, the yield is not high, and it is already very difficult for people to have a few taels of tea. This guy has to give a few pounds when he opens his mouth, which is too fucking bold. Touched by Yu turned over Wuyang Wuyang.
"People say that Gong Jin is elegant and generous, and today I realized that Lu Dao is true! In this way, brother, I will be ashamed! "Yu has turned over so many tea leaves, of course he has to pat Zhou Yu's ass.
"Why be polite between you and my brothers! After drinking, just come to my house and pick it up! ”
Hearing this, everyone in the audience said that they also wanted to have it. Zhou Yu did not refuse, and ordered the boy to pack the tea leaves in the house and send them to the mansions of the adults. This can make this group of Jiangdong's dirt buns happy. Oh my god! I'll go back and try it out!
At this time, China's political and economic centers were mainly in Guanzhong and Hanoi, with Luoyang and Chang'an as the center. In the eyes of the Central Plains scholars, Jiangdong is still an uncivilized barbarian land. So don't look at Yu Fu and Lu Ji, who are very dragged on the ground in Jiangdong, in fact, they have a natural inferiority complex for the scholars of the Central Plains.
This is also one of the important reasons why Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao, a group of scholars who migrated south from the north, have always been in a dominant position in Jiangdong.
As the saying goes, "the hands of people are short, and the mouth of eating people is soft"! Zhou Yu is so treacherous, decisively resorting to a drink offensive! Let your mouths be soft first!
