The refreshing breeze caresses the low-hanging green pines on the shore, the buds that are enjoying the warm morning sun, and the small stone pavement carries a few green and yellow fallen leaves on the wide lake to stir up layers of subtle ripples on the wide lake. The koi fish who got up early to forage for food were disturbed by Ling Bo and fled in all directions, and the fallen leaves broke free from the embrace of the wind and drifted to the surface of the lake, and the breeze that disturbed the koi fish was like a lively urchin, climbing over the windowsill and breaking into a tea room adjacent to the water in the courtyard of Ji no Kuni's main house.

In the simple and elegant tea room, there is nothing but a pot of flower arrangements that must be changed every day on a low coffee table, and a calligraphy scroll hanging on the wall facing the main entrance, which is written by the first head of the Kiyuki country, the purpose of the tea ceremony, 'Harmony and Seishing'. In the tea room, the surprisingly quiet Kino Kuni Mae and the president of the Kanto Cuisine Association kneel face to face on the tatami mats, their eyes are facing each other and they are speechless, and the top position is empty, except for the boiling spring in the iron kettle on the clay stove, which is the only source of sound in the tea room.

A slight but penetrating sound of the door sounded, and Kinokuni Mae broke the silence and whispered a word of please come in. The paper door was opened, and the old housekeeper Mura Yulingyin's rickety body trembled slightly, but the hands holding the tea vessel and the plate were unusually stable. After coming to the top position and taking a seat, he put the plate in front of him, and the village rain Lingyin first whispered to apologize, "It's really rude to let the lady and the distinguished guest wait for a long time." ”

Kinokuni shook his head with a smile and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation to the chairman who was sitting next to him, and the president of the Kanto Cuisine Association also smiled. The real painting of Ji Zhiguo was pulled up from a young age and taught a full set of etiquette, and the village rain Lingyin naturally understood what this gesture meant, so he whispered a word, please wait a while, and carefully opened a plain square black lacquered wooden box in front of him, and two pieces of the world appeared in front of the three people, respectively, a Ming Dynasty official kiln doucai chicken bowl cup and a Song Dynasty Jizhou kiln black glazed silver rabbit tea cup.

When the president saw the two pieces of porcelain, his eyes were straight, and his eyes were not greedy, but full of satisfaction with his appreciation of art and finally seeing his true face. These two pieces of tea ware are the first generation of the head of the family of the country of Ki to travel to the mainland of China to exchange and compete in cooking, fortunately received the gift of the Chinese master, carefully brought back to Japan, become the country of Ki heirloom inheritance for nearly 500 years, only in the house to entertain the most distinguished guests is to take out the use. Although the number of bucket cups is scarce, half of Japan's museums have collections. The black glazed silver rabbit tea cup is different, there are only two in Japan, one is carefully collected in the Tokyo National Museum or the bowl mouth is broken, and the other has been perfectly preserved in the hands of the Ji Zhi family, and now it appears in front of his eyes at close range, so how can the president, who has studied Chinese culture, not be excited?

Murayu Suzune gently took out the two pieces of porcelain from the silk base of the wooden box and placed them on the low table in front of him, and after stabilizing them, he took out the handkerchief in the cuff of the kimono and wiped the sweat from his palms. Although this kind of action has been performed countless times, every time he holds these two heirlooms with both hands, he can't help but be nervous. When the lid of the kettle was lifted, the water vapor came out of the crack and diffused in the tea room.

The iron lid was put aside, and Murayu Suzune replaced it with a long bamboo spoon with a thin handle, scooping the boiling mountain spring in the iron kettle and pouring it into the two pieces of porcelain to raise the temperature of the porcelain itself. The mountain spring that has cooled down slightly is poured out, and the water stains on the tea vessel are wiped off with clean silk. Murayu Suzune twisted open a wooden pot with red lacquer and gold dust depicting the pattern of cranes, scooped out two spoonfuls of green matcha powder from a bamboo teaspoon, poured it into the rabbit spoon, and gently tapped the edge of the tea, shaking off the remaining matcha powder in the spoon.

A small amount of boiling water is poured into the rabbit bowl, and Murayu Suzune gently mixes the matcha powder with the spring water into a green viscous liquid with a hand-kneading whisk (a brush made of bamboo in the Japanese tea ceremony', a step called 'toning ointment' in the Japanese tea ceremony. The remaining mountain spring water cups in the bucket cup are all poured into the rabbit cup, and the village rain suzune shakes his wrist, and the tea whisk is also stirred rapidly, the viscous liquid is diluted and scattered, and a layer of foam floats on the green tea soup, this step is called 'ordering tea', and the village rain suzune puts the tea whisk on a special bracket and holds the tea bowl and puts it in front of Ji no Kuni Shin-e.

Ji Zhiguo Zhene gently picked up the rabbit with green tea and handed it to the president, and said humbly and decently, "The president is coming, and the humble house is shining." Hereby, prepare a thin cup of tea, which is not a tribute, and I hope that Your Excellency the President will not dislike it, please use it slowly! ”

"Mrs. Madame Mae is serious, it would be rude for me to wait uninvited to disturb Madame Madame's early morning practice." The president took out his own handkerchief and carefully wiped his hands to prevent the sweat and grease on his hands from damaging the glaze of the tea ware. After respectfully taking the rabbit cup and thanking him, he rotated three times on the palm of his hand and took a small sip, and then slowly drank the tea vessel in his hand and returned it to Ji Zhiguo Zhenhua with emotion: "The family heirloom tea ceremony of Ji Zhiguo is really worthy of its name, and I can use the silver rabbit of the Northern Song Dynasty Jizhou kiln to drink the special Isuzu of Uji Koyama Garden, I have no regrets in this life~"

"Your Excellency, President, please have refreshments." Kinokuni Mae took the rabbit and handed it to the village rain bell at the top of the table, and placed a small plate of traditional Japanese sweets in front of the president, with a light and elegant movement.

The chairman cut off a portion of the confectionery with a bamboo skewer and put it in his mouth, praising the cuisine of Kino Kuni, and at the same time intentionally or unintentionally bringing up the topic of the failure of the halberd last time in the course of greeting and conversation, and also knocking on the side to find out the reason for the failure. The implication is to accuse Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning of being absent-minded and perfunctory.

The traditional Japanese tea room is strictly forbidden to talk about all topics related to money, politics, and worldly interests, and the president of the association constantly breaks the rules and challenges the bottom line, which makes Kinokuni Mae very unhappy, and when she is about to give an eviction order, she is reminded with her eyes, even if she is unhappy, she must maintain the etiquette of the main house, and do not neglect the guests.

Ji Zhiguo Zhenhua forcibly suppressed the anger and displeasure in his heart, and the indifferent and warm smile on his face did not change, and said elegantly, "The so-called suspicious people don't need to be used, and the employment is not suspicious." Your Excellency, President, if you are worried that the strength of our Ji no Kuni's sect is not good, you can ask for another master. ”

The president of the association was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that it was his own side knock, and the insinuation angered the noble lady in front of him. Please be smart? How easy it is to talk about~ I know very well what crooked melons and cracked dates are in the Kanto Cuisine Association, those guys who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, see the wind and rudder, and will only fall into the well, let them gnaw on Jiang Yunfeng's hard bone will only bring humiliation on themselves. Yuanyue School Park showed that it was out of the way.,And the graduates of the Yuanyue Department who have their own restaurant in Tokyo.,It's just that the friendship platform doesn't pay attention to the association's recruitment.。

The president of the invincible soldier is also in a dilemma, since the topic has been clarified, let's put it on the table and say it clearly, "Mrs. Mada, please don't be angry, I'm also in a good heart." After all, this halberd is a live broadcast to the outside world, which is related to the century-old reputation of the country. ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your concern, the halberd duel is all up to you. As the old saying goes: Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and joy and sorrow are common feelings. The Iki no Kuni has stood with Japan for hundreds of years, and it will not fall because of a single failure. "Ji Zhiguo's words are full of domineering and open-mindedness.

"It's a trespass, thank you very much for Mrs. Zhen's hospitality, I can't afford to bother for a long time, so I'm leaving, Madame, please stay." The president bowed down and said goodbye.

"Walk slowly." As the owner, Ji Zhiguo Zhene, who should have enthusiastically gotten up to send it off, also borrowed the donkey from the slope and asked the village rain bell sound to send it off instead of himself. The president's back disappeared at the end of the corridor, and at the same time as the paper door on the side of the tea room opened, Ji Zhiguo Ningning walked out and sat down next to his mother, and said with a low expression, "It's all because I don't have enough strength to let my mother be questioned in person." ”

Again, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. Ningning, don't go to your heart, don't put too heavy a psychological burden on yourself. Zhenhua caressed her daughter's hair dotingly, covered her lips and said with a smile, "Actually, I like Jiang Yunfeng's young man, he is strong and can protect you, and his personality and temper are very good." The most commendable thing is that he is also funny and humorous, compared to the Huijun of the Isshiki family, I personally prefer him after all, he is one year younger than you, according to my unique vision and wise analysis, he must have sister control attributes! If you are together, your life will be wonderful in the future, full of passion, and it will not be dull at all. ”

Although he knew that his mother's personal view of the so-called son-in-law was absurd and bizarre, it was difficult to cry and laugh, and he still embarrassed Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning with a big red face.

。。。

The black car was speeding on the wide road in the Yuanyue School Park, Jiang Yunfeng looked at the scenery outside the window with his chin pinched, and every grass and tree remained the same and still so familiar. Nonsense! The time of leaving is less than a month in total, what changes can be made for the vast Yuanyue School Park?

The car stopped in front of the Polestar Liao, and the accompanying Xinhu Scarlet Shazi was a little embarrassed and said, "I'll go and pick up the others, Jiang Jun, you can go into the house and rest for a while... And also.. If... Don't be surprised if you see something strange. ”

"Peculiar pictures? What is it? ”

"No. It's nothing... Xinhu scarlet sand unclearly put down a sentence, and hurriedly got into the car and left.

"What's going on~ It's mysterious." Jiang Yunfeng is really confused by the second monk, forget it~ Don't waste your already small brain cells. Turn around and walk into the iron gate of the Polestar Liao compound.

Or that familiar landscape - remote.

It's still the familiar smell - eerie.

Hold the door handle and twist it gently, no lock! Jiang Yunfeng, who pushed the door in, found that the decoration of the living room was still the same as if he left, and there was no change in the slightest, and a burst of intermittent singing came, ethereal and quiet, as pleasant as a pearl falling into a jade plate.

The person who sang was in this living room, Jiang Yunfeng followed the prestige, and saw a pair of fair-skinned feet popping up from time to time behind his couch in the living room, the jade fingers were as smooth as cardamom, and the arch of the foot was slender and the arc was perfect. People can't help but hold it in their hands and play with it. Jiang Yunfeng walked around to the sofa and took a look。。。。。 I can't believe my eyes!!

I'll go!! It's so peculiar!!

A slender and slender jade figure is lying on a soft sofa with a pillow on his chest, headband and headphones, holding a bag of potato chips in his hand, reading comics and listening to music. The upper body is covered with a wide black round-neck T-shirt, the loose neckline has been pulled down to reveal half of the fragrant shoulders, and the jade people don't know it, the long T-shirt hem covers the round buttocks, and the slender straight and fair legs stretch out directly from under the T-shirt. If it weren't for the playful bending of his legs from time to time, revealing the edge of his pink hot pants, Jiang Yunfeng would have thought that this jade man was not wearing pants.

Although the brilliant blonde hair was tied up in a ponytail by leather bands and scattered on the beautiful back.

Although the forehead bangs were suspected of being in the way by the jade people, they were clamped to the side with a hairpin.

Although the graceful figure was covered by the pure cotton police black crewneck T-shirt he got from his father.

Jiang Yunfeng still recognized at a glance who this jade man with his back to him and enjoying his leisure time to the fullest - the one that the whole of the Far Moon had to look up to, the Supreme Queen, the third seat of the Ten Masters of the Far Moon, Lord Erina Nagiri!!

However, at this moment, Jiang Yunfeng did not feel even a trace of the noble queen's majesty, but all of them were decadent otaku atmosphere...
