Chapter 738: Tea Ceremony
Shi Hanshan and the three of them whispered here, over there, even if Zhao Chang finished drinking the tea, the tea show was over, and everyone was still immersed in the shock brought by this tea show.
I don't know if the sound of the piano is too moving, pulling out the string that everyone needs to be soothed the loneliest, or the movement of the monk tea master and the creation of the tea ceremony arranged on the opposite boat, bringing everyone into a certain artistic conception, everyone present was deeply shaken in their hearts, and stood there for a long time without moving.
Or Du Jinning said: "Everyone, please sit down." Everyone woke up from a dream and sat down.
"Master Du, how did you come up with the idea of holding a tea party like this?" Zhao Chang was most deeply impressed by this performance, and he was shocked when he asked.
And all the people pricked up their ears and listened.
The people present are all scholars, and they have more or less participated in various poetry meetings, literary meetings, and tea parties. But in these gatherings, tea is just like a snack, it is meant to be drunk. Even if it is nominally a tea party, and the organizer invites a tea maker to make some tea, it is just the word "taste" in tea tasting. Everyone watched the tea master order the tea, and then praised the taste of the tea, and then ordered the theme of the tea party, the most important thing is to communicate and expand contacts.
No one has ever used the environment, the sound of the piano, the tea mat, and the tea master to create an atmosphere that makes people immersed in it and achieve such a shocking effect.
Until now, everyone still has that feeling in their hearts, as if the aftermath lingers for a long time.
Du Jinning didn't answer Zhao Chang's question, but looked around and asked, "How do you feel about the tea incident just now?" ”
"It feels so peaceful."
"It's like being in a hut deep in the mountains."
"Wan Lai is silent, but Yu Zhong is chime." Lu Jiuyuan quoted a Tang poem.
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone echoed: "Yes, yes, this sentence is well versed in the way of the tea matter just now." ”
Du Jinning nodded, and looked at Zhao Chang with his eyes: "This is the way I want to express in the tea ceremony, which is called the tea ceremony." ”
"Tea ceremony? The way of tea? ”
"Is there a way in the tea? What way? "Everyone was puzzled.
Du Jinning smiled: "The Tao is in people's hearts." Each and every one of us will understand his or her own way. Why don't we write an essay to remember it and write out the way we have learned? ”
"Okay." Everyone responded with a bang.
Everyone is a reader, and writing articles is the best. Now that everyone has something to do, it's natural to write an article.
"Let's write the article later, let's enjoy the tea show again." Du Jinning said.
Needless to say, this time everyone immediately fell silent. At this time, the sound of the piano resumes; Accompanied by the sound of the flute. After a while, the sound of the slap joined in. Immediately afterward, the chanting of seven or eight people sounded.
Immediately, a woman dressed in white and dressed like Guanyin Bodhisattva walked in chanting sutras. Behind her, there were four maid-like women, each holding a bunch of things in their hands.
"It's ...... What kind of 'tea ceremony' are you going to perform in the hall? So thought to the hearts of the people.
Originally, such gatherings were attended by men. If there are women to participate, this banquet must be with "color", and the women are all invited by the Qinglou to serve everyone.
But in front of this scene, everyone's thinking did not associate with that kind of "colored" banquet. Either because the aftermath of the previous tea performance is still in my heart, or because these women are dressed very holy, as lay people, and are members of the Buddhist family.
The hall was originally arranged according to Du Jinning's design, and in the hall next to the lake, the ground was raised, and there were only a few tables and stools covered with tablecloths, and nothing else.
At this time, the maids put the things in their hands on the table one after another, and in a short time they arranged a tea table.
Next to the table, there is a small jar, and the water lily leaves in the jar are beginning to appear. On the table, there are some tea sets. However, these tea sets, Rao is well versed in tea affairs, and those who are familiar with tea cannot recognize the origin and usage of these tea sets.
Remembering what Du Jinning said at the beginning, everyone secretly said in their hearts: Could it be that this is a tea set created by Master Du?
If someone travels to the scene is present, they will be able to recognize some of the things in the tea ceremony. For example, covered bowls, tea lotus, red sandalwood six uses, water recipes and so on.
The tablecloth is a very dark ink, and the tea set is very clean and pure white. The woman dressed as Guanyin led the maids behind, and in the bursts of bells accompanied by the sound of the piano, lifted the lid, scalded the cup, threw tea, and flushed the water, the movements were slow and graceful. When the fragrance of tea permeated the entire hall, the sound of chanting from the window became more and more obvious, so that everyone in the hall was once again immersed in a solemn and solemn atmosphere.
This kind of solemnity and solemnity used to only appear in the temple to watch the practices of the monks, but now it appears in the tea party.
The sound of chanting faded away, the sound of the piano and the flute became louder, and the woman led the maids down from the stage, handed the tea cups in the tea tray to the guests one by one, and saluted them one by one. After the tea ceremony, he went out of the door and floated away.
Although Du Jinning brought the Gaiwan cottage that only appeared in the Qing Dynasty to this Great Song Dynasty, he was afraid that everyone would not use it, so he came out to explain its usage in such an atmosphere and spoiled the scenery, and simply used the tea cup for everyone when serving tea.
This kind of tea cup is slightly larger than the modern tea cup, shaped like a hat, the style is simple and elegant, and it is deeply loved by Du Jinning.
"Ah, what kind of tea is this? It smells so good. One of the guests exclaimed.
You don't need to bring the tea cup to the tip of your nose, everyone can smell an unusually fragrant tea smell in the air.
Du Jinning said with a smile: "This is a new fragrance created by my tea garden, called jasmine tea, which is made from jasmine flowers. ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but put the tea cup under their noses and smelled it: "It's so fragrant." ”
"It smells so good!"
Some people who are anxious can't care about the tea being too hot, so they take a sip gently, and suddenly feel a faint fragrance filling the entire lips and teeth, which does not disperse for a long time, refreshing people's hearts.
"It's so fragrant, it's so delicious."
"This fragrant fragrance is integrated with the clear taste of tea, and it is not abrupt at all, but it feels natural and intoxicating."
Du Jinning's flower tea, in order to be a hit, a blockbuster, she asked the people in the tea garden to work hard, enough to make nine times, with better green tea to make tea blanks, the taste is excellent, that is, modern people who are used to drinking good flower tea have to applaud, not to mention these ancients who have never tasted this taste.
This herbal tea is truly amazing.
"This is called a tea party, a real tea party." Zhao Chang, who has participated in countless tea parties, sighed.
He looked at Du Jinning, his eyes burning: "Du Jinning, how many surprises do you have for us?" ”
In order to hide his identity, he should have called Du Jinning "Lord Du", but this time he was directly called "Du Jinning".
Du Jinning raised his glass to him and said with a smile: "This surprise is given to us by the prince." How about you write an article about the tea ceremony published in the Shengshimin Daily? Sign your real name. ”
