Dong Xiaokui responded, turned from the main hall to the back room, and saw several sets of tea sets, purple sand, celadon, white porcelain, and it seems that there are blue and white porcelain, and the other sets are also colored glaze, with different shapes. There are also different tea trays, among which there are tea trays carved from black wood, which look heavy and calm.

If this is not the old house of the Xu family, it will still make people feel that this is a tea shop. There are several cans of tea on the shelf, and the workmanship and storage of these tea leaves do not need to be put in the refrigerator, otherwise the texture will be spoiled.

Dong Xiaokui walked over, and there was no label written on these jars, and it was clearly a test for her. She gently opened one of the jars, looked at the shape, sniffed it, and denied it. If it is repeated, choose for a while, and then choose the Ming Qian tea that Grandpa Xu wanted.

In fact, the more suitable tea set for this kind of Ming Qian tea is the thin white porcelain cup, because the white porcelain will be clean and the soup color of the Ming Qian tea will be vividly expressed, which is more pleasing to the eye. Dong Xiaokui was a little hesitant, what Grandpa Xu said was about taking the celadon tea set, what should I do. She hesitated, but still took the celadon tea set, because she thought that Grandpa Xu was born in the military, with military orders like a mountain, and the character of commanding for a long time, he always hoped that his subordinates would carry out orders, rather than make their own decisions.

Celadon with black wood carved tea tray, Ming Qian tea placed on it, this wood carved tea tray is solid, I am afraid that there are dozens of catties, but some test physical strength. Especially in this kind of old house, the threshold is always very high, and it is indeed difficult to take this tea tray out for unfamiliar road conditions.

She cautiously came out of the back room, to the main hall, to the backyard, the dusk sunset fell all over the courtyard, the courtyard grapefruit leaves green, between the light and shadow there is a wonderful mystery.

Grandpa Xu was under the eaves of the porch, standing with his hands in his hands, looking towards the depths of the courtyard. This so-called backyard is actually not a classical house, it belongs to the living place of the next person. This is the garden outside, and it is a private space.

The grapefruit tree in the courtyard, like the front yard, is sparse flowers and trees under the grapefruit tree, and the shadow is sufficient. Dong Xiaokui walked down the eaves of the porch with a tea tray and shouted, "Grandpa, where is this medicine?" ”

"Let's go, the flower pavilion over there, the sunset at this time is just right." Grandpa Xu said that he walked towards the depths of the flowers and trees with his hands, and he walked steadily step by step. It seems that in addition to a bad heart, this body is very healthy.

Dong Xiaokui stood under the eaves of the porch, and carefully went to the depths of the flowers and trees step by step. The trail is paved with green bricks and fine stones, with the occasional dead green leaf on the ground. The summer in Shu was a little damp, and there was moss on the bluestone slabs, so she walked very slowly. Turning around a flower garden planted with ligustrum leaves, I saw a corner of the pavilion with flying springs flowing from the rockery, revealing the corner of the pavilion.

Turning around slowly, Grandpa Xu was already sitting in the pavilion. Dong Xiaokui put down the tea tray, tea set and tea leaves, and then looked at the flower pavilion, there were a lot of cannas planted around, blooming warmly, the sunset happened to be projected from the recess of the wall, and fell on the stone table of the flower pavilion, and Grandpa Xu sat on the rattan recliner.

Dong Xiaokui looked around, there were no utensils and facilities for boiling water. She secretly thought that this should be the same as the Dong family's house, and there were not many lines lined up, for the sake of the integrity of the house. Then, to make tea in the garden, you can only use the stove to boil water. It seems that Grandpa Xu's pot of tea is drunk tricky. However, when I came here today, I was originally here to experience the test and see the tricks. Therefore, even if there is difficulty, you have to be patient, not to mention that this Grandpa Xu is still polite to himself, at least he is not like the elder in the dog-blood TV series who sharply said how she is not worthy of Xu Zhonglin.

"Grandpa, wait a minute, I'll go get the kettle and the stove." Dong Xiaokui said.

Grandpa Xu said "um" and said, "You can go and ask Uncle Li to prepare it for you, and come and talk to me when you are ready." ”

Dong Xiaokui responded, and walked quickly to the main hall, Xu Lingxiu was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, but she seemed very worried, and when she saw Dong Xiaokui walking in, she breathed a sigh of relief and shouted in a low voice: "Second sister-in-law, are you okay?" I just wanted to tell you about tea. ”

"It's okay, I just like tea, and I can see the tea that grandpa wants." Dong Xiaokui said that he asked the old man Li on the side for a stove and a kettle. Old man Li had already prepared, Dong Xiaokui went over to lift the stove, and saw that this stove was also very exquisite, with a three-legged small tripod shape, and the charcoal fire was flourishing inside, and in the small basket next to it was a delicate charcoal fire hook, charcoal fire tong, and well-proportioned and well-textured charcoal.

Dong Xiaokui was secretly surprised, this furnace is also an antiquity of some years, looking at this pattern and workmanship, it must be an object of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, according to Xu Zhonglin's standards, not all antiquities can be called antiques, and such objects used by the people are just antiques.

Old man Li fetched water again and said, "Xiaokui, let's go, I'll go with you." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Lee." Dong Xiaokui nodded slightly to him and saluted. Old man Li smiled and said, "Xiaokui, just be yourself, this old mansion is of great significance to the old man, and it is a very high treatment to let you come to this place." So, come on. ”

"Hey." Dong Xiaokui responded and went to the flower pavilion together.

Old man Li took the kettle and water and put it aside, and told Grandpa Xu that he still had some things to do, and then asked Dong Xiaokui to chat with Grandpa here and make tea. Dong Xiaokui responded, and when Old Man Li took a few steps, she suddenly shouted: "Uncle Li, please let Lingxiu light a stove of smoked mosquito incense, just light incense." ”

When the old man Li heard this, he agreed. Dong Xiaokui stood aside, turned the charcoal fire, and began to boil water. In the process, she couldn't help but sweep Grandpa Xu with her eyes, only to see him closing his eyes and recuperating, lying on the rattan chair. She didn't bother either, just calmly listened to the water boiling, took the time, washed the cup, and then boiled the water, put the tea leaves, judged the temperature according to the time when the water was boiling, and dried the water, which was slowly poured into the teacup, covered with a lid, gently shook twice, and poured out the first cup. Only then did the boiling water be re-injected, and the fragrance of tea wafted out leisurely, Dong Xiaokui respectfully placed it in front of Grandpa Xu and said, "Grandpa, the tea is ready." ”

Her voice was soft, Grandpa Xu slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the tea, and didn't drink it immediately, just sat up straight and asked, "Can you play chess?" ”

Dong Xiaokui immediately replied: "Chinese chess knows some, Go only understands the rules, and has no actual combat experience at all." As for the rest, chess, I just learned a little bit in school. ”

Grandpa Xu nodded, took a sip of tea from the cup, squinted slightly, as if he was stuck in a memory, looking at the celadon cup in a daze. Dong Xiaokui didn't want to go and bring the cup over, so she just stayed on the side. After a long time, I heard Grandpa Xu say: "Time always flies so fast, it seems like it was just yesterday." ”

These words are lamenting time. Dong Xiaokui didn't want to talk about it, but took advantage of the situation to take the empty cup, poured another cup of tea and served it, and then said: "Grandpa is a wise person." ”

"Oh? Where did Xiaokui start with this? Grandpa Xu asked.

"People who understand that time will be lost must know how to cherish every minute and every second, and cherish all the things in life that are worth cherishing. In my opinion, this is the wisest of all. Dong Xiaokui poured out the tea residue and put it in the flower garden, which was the best flower fertilizer.

Xu Lingxiu carried the incense burner and said with a smile from afar: "Xiaokui, we have discussed such a profound topic." ”

"No, it's just a casual chat with grandpa." Dong Xiaokui smiled and poured a cup of tea for Xu Lingxiu, Xu Lingxiu took it over and said mischievously: "This tea is very delicious." This soup doesn't look good. ”

"This is natural, this Ming before the tea is tender, the soup is tender green, if you want to be distinct, you have to use a white porcelain cup. However, the celadon is thicker, and this is enough to drink. Dong Xiaokui replied and dialed the charcoal fire again. Although he warned himself not to be stunned, Grandpa Xu's attitude of not making a move is really maddening.

If one person makes a move, that's good, you can always see the purpose. The most feared thing is that one person doesn't make a move, so that you will show your feet step by step.

"Xiaokui knows a lot, people your age are studying fashion week." Xu Lingxiu said that there was a suspicion of saying good things in front of Grandpa Xu.

Dong Xiaokui smiled and said, "Everyone has a love for beauty." I also want to watch Fashion Week, which is art, the perfect combination of light and shadow. ”

"Huh? You see also. Xu Lingxiu was very surprised, and then muttered: "I thought you only looked at the art of war, history, and mythology." ”

"Hehe, I just like those, I think it's interesting, human experience is actually in history, a person's life is limited, and when you really see yourself, I'm afraid it's too late. But if you look at history, look at the successes and failures, joys, sorrows, and regrets of so many people, and talk about their successes and failures, you can see a lot of truths and many phenomena clearly, and there are naturally hills and valleys in your chest. Reading history can be wise, I'm afraid that's what it means. Dong Xiaokui told Xu Lingxiu that she was becoming more and more generous.

When Grandpa Xu heard this, he was very interested and asked, "Xiaokui still reads the Art of War?" ”

"Nothing. Where is reading, it's just a hobby, just looking at it randomly. Dong Xiaokui said immediately.

"If you have read it, you have read it. It's not for you to lead troops into battle. You're nervous, kid. Grandpa Xu's words relaxed, and he slowly stood up, his eyes kept looking over the wall, looking at the mountains in the distance, where the sun set, and the remnants of Shaoguang fell on the forest.

Dong Xiaokui smiled lightly and said, "How dare you get an axe, besides, even if I know, it's just talk on paper, and naturally it's impossible to talk to people in ordinary times." The art of war is not child's play. ”

When Grandpa Xu heard this, there was a strange smile on his face, shook his head, and said slowly: "This was said a long time ago. ”

"Grandma?" Xu Lingxiu took another cup of tea and said very boldly.

"You girl, you are getting more and more presumptuous, it's all because I usually spoil you." Grandpa Xu's face was flat, and his expression was full of spoiling, where was the slightest hint of blame.

Dong Xiaokui walked on the side with envy, in the past, because her grandfather didn't like her mother, and because she was a daughter, not a man, she didn't have a good face for her. Therefore, until my grandfather died, I didn't get my grandfather's liking. ......
