Chapter 148: Etiquette
The two teapots on the tea table are steaming, diffusing the fragrance of tea, which is very light and refreshing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The teenagers on both sides drank two cups of tea, one brewed by Mo Qian and one brewed by Wenxi, and when the tea was entered, a trace of shock flashed in their eyes.
They know very well that the two cups of tea they drink are probably not even the level of tea making by some masters who have studied the tea ceremony for many years.
Mo Qian also reached out and picked up the teacup in front of him, sniffed it gently, and then closed his eyes slightly, with a faint smile on his face.
After he opened his eyes, he took a sip of tea, and the tea was in his stomach, and there was still a faint aftertaste in his mouth, which did not dissipate for a long time.
He drank this cup made by Wen Xi, and Wen Xi drank the tea made by him, both of them drank the tea made by the other party, and a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes.
After drinking the tea in the cup, several teenagers on the side, when they looked at Wenxi and Mo Qian, they couldn't help but show respect in their hearts, because from the whole process of making tea between the two of them, it can be seen that both of them are people who keep the etiquette in mind, and they have reverence for the former sages in their hearts.
A person with a sense of awe is worthy of the respect of others, a person with a sense of awe, and a person who can self-restrain himself, and will have a sense of proportion and bottom line in everything he does.
Ritual law is passed down from generation to generation, as thick as history, and is one of the basic laws that constitute the world order.
In the imperial court, there has always been a great sage in ancient times who said, 'The Tao is governed by government, all are punished, the people are free and shameless, the Tao is virtuous, all are courteous, shameful and qualified', and this is used as an epigram to govern the world, which shows how important the existence of etiquette and law is for the order of the world.
The great sage felt that if the people were governed by government decrees and rectified by criminal law, the people only wanted to be free from punishment for crimes, but they had no sense of shame, and if they used morality to guide the people and assimilated them with etiquette, the people would not only have a sense of shame, but also a heart of submission, and only by governing the world in this way could the world be truly peaceful.
After drinking the tea in the cup, even Gu Xuan's eyes when he looked at Wen Xi changed a little, but he soon returned to normal, because he knew Wen Xi's nature very well, even if he didn't have much contact with Wen Xi, he still felt that Wen Xi just regarded etiquette as a weapon to establish his own image, and he was definitely not the kind of person who really kept etiquette in his heart.
"Good tea!"
Mo Qian put the teacup back on the table, with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but admire.
He drank this cup of tea, the taste was light, like drinking a sip of sweet spring, but with a slight astringency, sweet and astringent at the same time in the mouth, feeling refreshed and endless.
"Brother Mo's tea art is really admirable. ”
Wen Xi also exclaimed without hesitation, but there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes, which was like a monarch looking at a courtier.
The cup of tea he drank tasted very light, and after the tea was in his stomach, if he had a piece of fresh tea in his mouth, the fragrance of the tea made him feel very peaceful in his heart, as if he had been isolated from the hustle and bustle of the world.
Mo Qian can have such a tea art, which really makes him cherish his talents, and he really wants to recruit Mo Qian under his command.
"Good tea must have good water, and the same is true for the throne, where there must be capable people. ”
The look of appreciation in Wen Xi's eyes was undisguised, how could Mo Qian not see it, he frowned slightly, then stretched out, and said with a smile.
"I don't know what Brother Mo thinks of etiquette?"
Wen Xi poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then looked at Mo Qian and asked.
He didn't respond directly to Mo Qian's words, but wanted to talk about etiquette with the other party, which made the eyes of several teenagers behind him flash a glimmer of light.
"Hmph! How can a person with etiquette in his heart do things that attack the weaknesses of others with his own strengths, and he has etiquette in his heart, shouldn't he understand courtesy and be honest?"
Gu Xuan was already angry when he saw the hint of appreciation in Wen Xi's eyes before, and now Wen Xi was going to discuss etiquette with Mo Qian again, which made him snort coldly, and a mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he glanced at the other party contemptuously.
He felt that Wen Xi was a hypocrite, and he had already calculated how to suppress and humiliate Mo Qian before he entered the private room.
In terms of combat power, Wen Xi and Brother Mo are between Bozhong, Wen Xi can only use the etiquette he is good at to learn from Mo Qian, and he wants to defeat Mo Qian in the field he is good at.
He knew very well that the Wen family had a lot of research on etiquette, and Wen Xi, as one of the two most outstanding geniuses of the Wen family, must have memorized the etiquette by heart since he was a child.
If Mo Qian is defeated by Wenxi in etiquette, once it is passed out, it will definitely have a great impact on Mo Qian's future competition for the throne.
After all, the Nanchuan region has always paid attention to the auxiliary government with etiquette, although it has not yet reached the level of ruling the world with etiquette, but with the court's emphasis on etiquette, it will definitely choose someone who understands etiquette better to sit on the throne.
Wenxi's city is too deep, and before the battle for the king has begun, he has already begun to calculate strong competitors, and it is really not an easy character to deal with.
"You don't want to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, adults just want to exchange etiquette with Brother Mo and learn from each other, you slander adults so much, do you think that Brother Mo will be weaker than adults in etiquette? I don't think Brother Mo is a person who doesn't understand etiquette. ”
A young man standing behind Wen Xi suddenly responded to Gu Xuan, his words were really vicious, not only debunking Gu Xuan's mind in order to maintain Wen Xi's image, but also insinuating that Mo Qian was a person who did not understand etiquette.
He also deliberately accentuated the tone of the address between Wenxi and Moqian, putting Wenxi and Moqian at two different levels, calling Wenxi the master, but intersecting with Moqian's peers, and his intentions were really vicious.
"People who don't understand etiquette are just vulgar people, how can this kind of person be worthy of competing for the throne of Nanchuan. ”
Another teenager behind Wen Xi also stared at Gu Xuan and refuted.
"The etiquette is the ultimate in debate, the foundation of a strong country, the way of authority, and the sum of names. The reason why the prince won the world is not because of the fall of the society. ”
Mo Qian saw that Gu Xuan was about to open his mouth to reprimand the two of them, and hurriedly glanced at each other, then looked at Wen Xi with a smile and said.
He had already guessed that Wen Xi's layout was to suppress himself in terms of etiquette, from the previous tea art to the current discussion of etiquette, everything could be a game laid out by the other party.
If all this is really a game set up by Wen Xi against himself, it can be imagined how difficult Wen Xi has to deal with this person, which is by no means comparable to Qiao Liang and his ilk.
Therefore, he stopped Gu Xuan from arguing with the two teenagers and responded directly to Wen Xi's words.
His posture completely reflects 'etiquette in the heart and practice in action', which is equivalent to invisibly giving the two teenagers behind Wen Xi a slap.
