Chapter 73 Boiling Tea
"Xiao swallowed, Qin E dreamed of Qin Louyue. Qin Louyue, willow color every year, Baling hurts goodbye. The autumn festival of the Qing Dynasty in the original Leyou Yuan, the sound of the Xianyang ancient road is overwhelming. The sound is absolutely dusty, the west wind is still shining, and the Han family mausoleum. ”
The "que" mentioned in this poem is a building used to record officials and merits in front of city gates, palaces, ancestral temples, and mausoleums in ancient times, and is made of wood or stone carving.
In the Han Dynasty, it was widely used in palace buildings, gardens and mausoleum buildings. The appearance is roughly divided into three parts: the seat, the body and the eaves.
According to the number of the body has a single out, double out and three out (only the Son of Heaven can use three out), in ancient times, the word "missing" and "que" word are universal, and the vacancy between the two is used as a road.
The purpose of the que is to indicate the gate, and the castle can also be climbed to the lookout, so there are also "que" called "view". Sometimes a short eaves are attached between the two ques to emphasize the effect of their entrances and exits.
When Wang Donghua came to Renfu, the first thing he saw was the unicorn gate carved from white marble.
The carving technique is completely realistic, the unicorn of the dragon horn deer body is carved vividly, coupled with realistic painting, as if it comes to life in a gorgeous auspicious cloud.
As a former Sima, Ren Fu of course used a double-que structure, and what attracted Wang Donghua's attention was not this unicorn gate, but another relief carved with a unicorn.
You must know that in the history of the original time and space, there was no such thing as a unicorn in the legends of Huaguo, but here, Wang Donghua saw the kind of Pegasus with long horns in Western legends.
What made Wang Donghua even more puzzled was that on the top of the unicorn's head, there was a half-naked figure flying in the sky, and the appearance of the statue turned out to be a typical Western beauty.
Seeing Wang Donghua's puzzled eyes on this relief, Ren Xing hurriedly explained: "Does Xianjun feel that this statue is different from usual?" ”
Seeing Wang Donghua nodding, Ren Xing continued: "The original picture of this carving comes from the extreme west, and the extreme west belongs to the yin. ”
It turns out that the original manuscript of this statue really came from the West. And this style of painting, which is very similar to the Renaissance period, will not appear in the original time and space for thousands of years, and it seems that in this time and space, not only the Asian continent has changed, but also the Western Europe.
After looking at this exotic style relief for a while, Wang Donghua walked into this huge mansion with carved beams and paintings under the guidance of Ren Xing.
The architectural style here is mainly wooden buildings, but the walls are inlaid with exquisite painted bricks, which are so fine that Wang Donghua has the illusion of being covered with tiles.
The cloister leads to the main hall, which is located in the center of the complex, more than three feet above the ground, and is enclosed by a beautiful white marble balustrade, and the foundation of the building is made entirely of massive granite barriers.
Such an exquisite and detailed building is rare even in later generations, let alone in the Han Dynasty, where the productive forces were backward, which shows how much manpower and material resources were spent to build this mansion.
Just when Wang Donghua lamented the corruption of these bureaucrats in feudal society, Ren Xing did not have this kind of awareness, but felt complacent because he saw Wang Donghua's surprised expression, but he still said modestly:
"Immortal Monarch, can you still enter the Immortal Monarch's Law Eye in this humble room?"
"Hehe, such a beautiful building, it's rare to see it in my hometown, Lord Ren, you're too modest."
Looking at Ren Xing's smug face, Wang Donghua couldn't wait to slap him twice, how much people's fat and people's ointment this has! You're still so complacent.
But after all, he is an outsider, and he doesn't want to have much to do with this era for the time being, so these are just thinking about it in his heart, and he is still polite to Ren Xing on the surface.
But let's be honest, it's worth the trip to see such a beautiful building.
"Xiaohua, have you ever filmed these pictures?" With such a beautiful view, how could Wang Donghua not take a souvenir? In his heart, he quietly asked the intelligent program Xiaohua.
"Don't worry, host, I've been recording the whole process since you came to Earth."
The intelligent program Xiaohua doesn't know what he's been busy with recently, anyway, since Wang Donghua came to this time and space, except for necessity, the intelligent program Xiaohua has been silent, which also makes Wang Donghua a little puzzled in his heart.
What made Wang Donghua even more depressed was that he was very passive with Xiaohua, Xiaohua could clearly feel his thoughts, but he couldn't know Xiaohua's situation.
But thinking about the intelligent program Xiaohua is his own assistant robot after all, it seems that it will not be unfavorable to himself, so Wang Donghua quickly put these depressions behind.
Came to the main hall and sat down, to be precise, "kneeling", in this time and space and the original time and space are still the same, there is no chair, Wang Donghua, who came to this era, is indeed a little unaccustomed, so he directly sat cross-legged in his position.
Seeing Wang Donghua's rude behavior, Ren Xing didn't dare to say anything, after all, Wang Donghua's identity was there, so he hurriedly ordered the maid to serve the tea set.
The people of the Han Dynasty did drink tea, but the method of drinking tea was completely different from that of modern times, and drinking tea in this era was simply a high-end and atmospheric artistic behavior.
When the maidservants brought a set of cumbersome tea sets, Diao Chan knelt down in front of the coffee table and began to boil tea like a dance.
Tea ceremony etiquette such as placing carbon, burning the stove, boiling water, roasting tea, steaming tea, ordering tea, dividing the lamp, and serving tea made Wang Donghua, who saw such a tea for the first time, stunned, but because of the beautiful woman Diao Chan performing, it also made Wang Donghua pleasing to the eye, otherwise this set of tea art would be "thirsty to death".
When Diao Chan's footsteps moved lightly and brought a bowl of steaming tea to Wang Donghua, Wang Donghua came back to his senses.
"The grace of the immortal monarch to save his life, the slave family has nothing to repay, but to offer this tea to express gratitude!"
Diao Chan came to Wang Donghua with hot tea, knelt down on his knees and brought the tea bowl above his head, bowing his head and saluting in a playful voice.
"Thank you! It's just a gesture just now, Miss Ren doesn't have to mind. Seeing Diao Chan like this, Wang Donghua also quickly knelt up and took the bowl of hot tea from Diao Chan's hand.
Seeing Wang Donghua pick up the tea bowl, the rest of the people also picked up the hot tea brought by the maidservant.
After this bowl of hot boiled tea was drunk into Wang Donghua's mouth, Wang Donghua's brows were imperceptibly slightly furrowed.
It turns out that the tea brewed by this seemingly gorgeous tea art is so unpleasant, and Wang Donghua, who is used to modern tea, is indeed very unaccustomed to this bitter and astringent drink.
"****, where is this tea! This is obviously Chinese medicine! Finally swallowing this bitter tea into his stomach, Wang Donghua couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
