Chapter 760: Watanabe's Invitation

The three of them muttered and discussed for a while, and finally settled on a plan.

So when the monk went out, he heard someone chatting next to him, saying that the most authentic tea ceremony in the Great Song Dynasty was in Runzhou. The tea ceremony performance in the Jingwang Mansion in the capital was learned from Lord Du Jinning in Runzhou.

The method they adopted was to cast a wide net and focus on fishing.

Because there is more than one monk in Japan, and the temples where the orders are placed are different, this situation has been staged in several places.

Afraid that it would not be safe, Lu Jun and they also prepared a set of combination punches, planning to come up with a few prongs. If the monk didn't hear it or didn't take it to heart, they also prepared several plans.

But they still underestimated Du Jinning's reputation in the tea ceremony world.

Zhao Chang is a conscientious person, although he promotes the tea ceremony in the capital, he has always said that it was invented by Du Jinning. The influence of "Tea Ceremony Collection" is quite great, and those who like tea ceremony all buy a book to study carefully, Du Jinning's article on it plays the finishing touch, which is better than Zhao Chang's article, and the elaboration of the tea ceremony is more incisive and profound, so Du Jinning's reputation has also spread with the spread of the tea ceremony.

So when he heard Du Jinning's words, Monk Riben hurriedly inquired about the officials of Honglu Temple or the monks in the temple.

There was nothing to hide about this kind of thing, so everyone introduced the origin of the tea ceremony and Du Jinning's situation, and gave them a copy of the "Tea Ceremony Collection".

The Japanese monk was very interested and immediately said that he wanted to go to Runzhou.

The monks who can come to the Great Song Dynasty to travel to Yunyou belong to the Yunshui monks. The word "cloud and water" is in the Buddha's house, one refers to the monks who travel to the side are like flowing clouds and water, free and unhindered; The other refers to them living freely like clouds in the sky and water in bottles.

Since you pay attention to freedom and no obstacles, it is natural to go and go, without worry. Therefore, after a few days, three Japanese monks came to Runzhou one after another, all of whom were looking for Du Jinning.

This time, Du Jinning did not push the matter to Lu Jiuyuan and them, but personally received these monks, invited them to watch a few tea performances she had newly conceived, and talked about some tea ceremony theories.

Du Jinning has been to Japan a lot in his last life, and he also knows a lot about the culture of Japan. The Buddhist culture of the Tang and Song dynasties flourished, and she read a lot of Buddhist scriptures in the library, and now she is doing her best to fool the three Japanese monks again.

"Master Du, I wonder if you can go to my country to preach Buddhism and the tea ceremony?" A Japanese monk humane.

This monk's name is Watanabe Yamano, who comes from a large temple in Kyoto, and is one of the more famous monks in Japan, with a higher status than the other two.

Based on his understanding of the official rank of the Great Song Dynasty, Du Jinning's rank as an official does not seem to be high. He felt that if he made an invitation, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty would definitely give Riben a face and allow Du Jinning to go to Riben.

Du Jinning's goal was achieved, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but his face showed embarrassment: "I am an official of the Great Song Dynasty, how can I go to your country?" I can only be sorry for Master Watanabe. ”

Watanabe also knew that Du Jinning could not be the master himself, so he secretly made up his mind, and after returning to the capital, he mentioned this request to the officials of Honglu Temple.

The three stayed in Runzhou for a few more days. Du Jinning had already instructed everyone not to mention the matter of rice to them. During the time Watanabe Shanye was in Runzhou, she didn't even go to the Zhuangzi courtyard a few times, and only instructed Aoki to take care of the seedlings according to her requirements, so as not to let Watanabe and others put their ideas on the rice seeds.

A few days later, Watanabe and the others left Runzhou, and after returning to the capital, they asked the officials of Honglu Temple to invite Du Jinning to Japan to give lectures.
