Chapter 140: The Stars Hold the Moon, Mu Sucai!

Concubine Wen felt that Master Su was a little tired, and hurriedly proposed: "Oh, Brother Foyin, let Master Su rest for a while, please tell me a story about his tea tasting and tea use, okay?" ”

"Even after telling a few stories, my lips and tongue are already dry, okay. Dongpo loves tea, can be described as an expert in tea science, he knows the benefits of drinking tea, and often describes the effects of tea in his literary works such as relieving difficulties, refreshing, relieving greasy, and benefiting teeth. ”

"Seems to be there." Su Shi said happily.

"What, tea heals? So, what will the dozen or so imperial doctors stationed in the palace do? Isn't it taking away other people's jobs? The eighth sister sighed.

Concubine Wen remembered that she occasionally "took away other people's jobs" during her travels, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"What is Concubine Wen laughing at?" Buddha Yin was puzzled.

"I think, all the extraordinary people will steal other people's jobs."

The crowd burst out laughing.

Lao Wei remembered that one year, the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty celebrated his birthday, and the Liao State sent envoys to congratulate him, and Dongpo's younger brother was entrusted by the emperor to accompany him. The special envoy proposed to visit Wen Yanbo, an old minister who had commanded the storm and galloped on the battlefield, and Su Shi happily accompanied him.

When they arrived at the Taishi Mansion, Wen Yanbo called Su Dongpo aside with a sad face, and whispered: Recently, the old man has suffered from dysentery, and he has to go to Xueyin more than ten times a day, but he is afraid that he will lose his dignity in the banquet. After hearing this, Dongpo smiled slightly, and said calmly: Although Duke Lu replaces wine with tea, I will bring the Empress Dowager to reward my dragon group, you can rest assured to accompany the guests in front of the hall! At the banquet, Wen Lao entertained the envoy with tea instead of wine, and the guests and hosts drank happily. And throughout the banquet, Wen Yanbo always sat upright, and did not go to Shangxue Yin once, and his dignified etiquette completely maintained the face of the Great Song Dynasty. (Note: Xueyin refers to today's restrooms.) īšš

After the state affair ended, Wen Yanbo was puzzled in his heart, and asked anxiously: Su Shi, the old man just feels that the tea is particularly fragrant and delicious tonight, and I don't know why the gastrointestinal disease has improved after three or five cups of stomach? Su Shi replied with a smile: What Lugong drank that day was not a dragon group, but ginger tea.

Why does this ginger tea have such a miraculous effect?

Su Shi said, Wen Lao, there is really no need to make a fuss, the younger brother just took half of the real tea and half of the ginger in Shu and fried it with fresh water. Ginger is hot, can warm the stomach, tea is cool, can go to fire and detoxify. This cold and hot can level yin and yang, drink it without disease to prevent disease, and cure disease if there is disease. The family uses it, and it is very effective, so I dare to ask Lu Gong to give it a try.

After hearing this, Wen Yanbo kept nodding his head and saying yes, deeply impressed. Soon after, ginger tea became popular in the market of Bianjing. In order to remember its origin, people deliberately gave it an elegant name, which is called 'Dongpo tea'. ”

Concubine Wen felt very uncomfortable, and then asked: "Let's share the bachelor's poems and see if they can be refined into idioms?" ”

"I'll give you an example, 'No meat makes you thin, and no bamboo makes you vulgar.' People are thin and fat, but people are not curable. 'You can take the idiom as 'vulgar and untreatable'," Concubine Wen took the lead in preaching.

Then, Foyin's selected poems, everyone looked for creation one by one, and spliced the following idioms: heavy makeup, spring dreams without traces, sea house funding, never tired of reading, from time to time, twenty-eight beauties, turned into nothing, Yan thin ring fat, picturesque, unique, dragon liver and phoenix marrow, the true face of Lushan, snail horn false name and small profits, each has its own owner, perseverance, commendable, the breeze is not prosperous, and the smart is mistaken by the smart. (Note: Sea House Preparation, from a fable by Su Shi, tells about three old people competing to boast of their high life expectancy, and later used "Sea House Preparation" to increase longevity, often used as a birthday celebration.) īŧ‰

"I hope that these treasures of Chinese culture that Brother Su contributed to my Great Song Dynasty will be passed on forever, and nourish the hearts of all dynasties and generations for a long time, not just scholars." Concubine Wen was in awe, and then concluded.

"Lao Wei thinks that he should learn from Concubine Wen, pay attention everywhere, accumulate from time to time, and learn and apply Chinese culture to life, even if he once had a spring dream without a trace." Buddha Yin glanced around at everyone and said to himself.

It turns out that Brother Foyin admires himself, perhaps, once upon a time, he had a traceless spring dream? In an instant, Concubine Wen felt red and hot, and she was a little at a loss, but then she thought about it, isn't everyone like this? Who hasn't had one or two "Traceless Spring Dreams"? After thinking about it, he immediately calmed down, and suddenly the ice and snow melted when he was extremely uncomfortable.

"That is, Mr. Su's poems actually defeated Zhang Yuanbi's twenty-eight beauties and replaced Mrs. Zhang's position, which is really obsessive, and I never get tired of reading it." Concubine Wen exclaimed.

Long Yunfei thought for a moment and praised: "Others are 'smart but are mistaken by smart', and Master Su is 'smart is mistaken by smart, relying on his own genius, diligence and perseverance to achieve the legend of my Great Song Dynasty." ’”

The eighth sister felt that she should not be cold here, and said happily: "Even if I am a delicate flower and a weak willow, we should also practice martial arts to strengthen our body, and also guard against unexpected needs in the future." ”

Su Shi felt that he had been degraded by the court before, in addition to sighing in frustration, close to the poetry to talk about **, now, Concubine Wen and his party deigned to come in person, not only on behalf of the court to visit their old decay, but also to their own talent realm to worship the extreme, really moved inexplicably, he once said that women are the most beautiful in the wine under the lamp, through the beauty of the servant wind, in the haggard, there is a more Chu Chu moving rhyme, it turns out, the light makeup of the beauties is also very fascinating, thinking about the "treasure of Chinese culture" of the Buddha seal, live and learn", staring at Concubine Wen, chanted warmly: "If you want to compare Xizi to the West Lake, it is always appropriate to have a sunny day and a light rain." ”

Concubine Wen remembered the conversation with Ling'er, and her face turned red again, because she had also changed the bachelor's verses.

"Bachelor Su, who likes beauties, actually associated West Lake with beauties twice in the poem, but he has to make us admire." Buddha Yin said.

"Only by loving beauty from the bottom of your heart can you write fiery verses." Su Shi corrected.

"How so?" The concubines asked in unison with wide eyes.

"Both of my wives are virtuous and empathetic, so whether I am in good times or in bad times, I can have a good mood to write good poems, and so a virtuous circle, after my first wife, Wang Fu, left, I planted 3,000 pine trees in front of her grave. Before the second wife Wang Runzhi left, he actually took a concubine for me, and now he swears to follow my wife Chaoyun. With that, he looked at Chaoyun affectionately.

Thinking about the untimely husband in his life, he can't be out of place anymore, and he is busy adding tea for everyone.

Buddha Yin quipped: "The country is picturesque, the beauty is like this, and you can enjoy all the fat and thin in this life, what more can you ask for?" It made everyone laugh.
