Chapter 104: The Sword Society Turmoil

The tea house is held in the annex building of the county school library, and the tea house has a total of 44 members, including 20 students from the upper house, 10 students from the middle house and 10 new students from the lower house.

There are also four special members of the Teachings, and Fanning is one of them.

Each member of the tea house wore a white satin scholar's suit, a black gauze hat on his head, a leather belt around his waist, new white socks on his feet, and his shoes were taken off the door, and no shoes were allowed inside.

More than 40 members sit on the floor, using the traditional kneeling method, with their hips on their heels, and this sitting position has gradually disappeared five generations later, with the popularity of high chairs.

It is only preserved in some ancient family and traditional ceremonies.

Last year, it was Wang Xu, a well-known old-fashioned professor, who guided the tea house, and he set the rules for kneeling and sitting.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Fanning was a little overwhelmed.

Not only him, but almost all the freshmen had a painful look on their faces, and their bodies writhed from side to side.

But no one laughed at them, everyone was from the past, and they knew the pain of kneeling at the beginning.

"The old man Zhang Ruoying, a professor at Hongyan Academy, will guide you in tea art from this year onwards."

Fan Ning recognized Zhang Ruoying, who was the chief examiner when they participated in the second county taxi selection competition, and he had the impression that he was a very upright old man.

Zhang Ruoying was indeed empathetic, he saw the pain on the faces of the freshmen, so he smiled at everyone.

"I don't ask everyone to sit, it's necessary to be clean, but the form of sitting is casual for everyone."

Fanning breathed a long sigh of relief, stretched his feet straight, and then sat down cross-legged, feeling much more comfortable.

With Fanning taking the lead, the freshmen all changed their sitting postures, and even the middle and upper students were reluctant to maintain a kneeling position.

Zhang Ruoying nodded to Fan Ning and continued: "Tea art is a means of communication that the literati of this dynasty must master, and the scholars can learn at home, or they can go to the teahouse to apprentice.

Since you have chosen the tea house, then I have the obligation to let you master some basic tea art, today I will tell you about the identification of tea cakes, and please take out the tea cakes. ”

Fan Ning opened the tea cake box on the table and took out half a tea cake, although the Biluochun in Pingjiang Mansion was good, but because the output was too small, it could not meet the huge demand of the Song Dynasty society.

The popular tea cakes in the market are Jianzhou tea, that is, tea in Fujian, with large output and high quality, and was once listed as a tribute.

Fan Ning looked carefully at the tea cake in his hand, this is a sample provided by the tea house, the tea cake is pale yellow inside, he leaned close to his nose and smelled it, the tea fragrance is very light, slightly bitter.

"Everyone is optimistic about the tea cake in their hands, it should be light yellow, the tea cake is divided into grades, the best is dragon tea and phoenix tea, followed by Jingting and Sanbai, the worst is called the skull and the second bone, the tea cake in everyone's hand is the skull, which belongs to the relatively low-grade tea cake, and the good tea cake should be pure white.

The reason why dragon tea and phoenix tea are called the best is not only that its production process is extremely high, but also that it has been maintained for many years. ”

.........

Today's first day of tea class is only to explain tea cakes and tea sets, and has not yet reached the practice of ordering tea, but Zhang Ruoying specifically talked about fine tea when explaining tea sets, and introduced some characteristics of fine tea.

It's a pity that the fine tea is not in his hand, Fan Ning is very remorseful in his heart, he put the tea set as an ornament on his bookcase, he already knew that he would bring the fine tea to class, why do you have to use this set of white porcelain tea sets?

As soon as class ended, he rushed to the dormitory.

Fan Ning ran back to the dormitory in one go, only to see Duan Yu and Su Liang standing in front of their bookcase admiring the tea set.

"How's the tea set? You can also enter the eyes of the two! Fanning walked in with a smile.

"Fanning, where did you get the tea set?"

Su Liang looked at Fan Ning with admiration, "We just found out that it was actually refined tea!" He pointed to the box that Fanning had left at the foot of the bed.

Even Duan Yu, who has always been introverted, couldn't hide his excitement in front of the porcelain rabbit jar, and he looked at the tea cup held in the palm of his hand in fascination.

"Fanning, it's the first time I've seen a rabbit."

They are all children of scholarly families, and they have learned to order tea at home since they were children, and a pair of excellent tea sets has a strong attraction to them.

"Fanning, you put this tea set away, I mean it's best to put it in the box, it will be peeped at outside, our county school may not be safe."

Su Liang dragged out a heavy sandalwood box from under the bed and put it on the table, "Listen to me, put it away!" ”

Fan Ning remembered his Taihu Stone, and he nodded, "You're right, it's really not appropriate to put it outside." ”

Fan Ning put the sterling silver teapot into the box, and he asked curiously: "Someone asked the professor today, who is the first tea ceremony master in Pingjiang Mansion?" Professor Zhang said it was a young woman, but he didn't say more, do you know who this woman is? ”

Su Liang and Duan Yu glanced at each other, and the two of them almost said in unison, "Of course it's Shi Xiaoya!" ”

"Who?" Fanning didn't believe what he heard.

Su Liang said with a smile: "Shi Xiaoya, who is known as the first talented woman in Pingjiang Mansion, is one of the top ten masters of this dynasty in her tea-splitting skills, and she can divide a peony into tea, also known as the peony hand." ”

"Who is this Shi Xiaoya?"

Fanning was really curious about this master of Jupei.

"She is the granddaughter of the former county school professor Shi Shi, and her grandfather specialized in teaching poetry, so he named her Xiaoya."

Speaking of this, Duan Yu couldn't help but yearn leisurely, "Three years ago, she won the first place in the four items of piano, poetry, tea, and painting in one fell swoop at the Tiger Hill Literary Conference, and her name shocked the south of the Yangtze River, and she was known as the first talented woman in Pingjiang Mansion, and she was only sixteen years old this year!" ”

Hearing that Shi Xiaoya was only sixteen years old, Fan Ning longed even more in his heart, when he could meet this talented woman.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, only to hear someone shouting: "Stop the bleeding for him first!" ”

The three of Fan Ning glanced at each other and hurriedly walked out of the dormitory, but more than a dozen students supported a student with a bloody face walking towards him, and the student was crying as he walked, his expression was very painful.

"It's Lu Youwei!"

Su Liang recognized the student at once, and Fan Ning also recognized it, it was really Lu Youwei, he was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly ran up.

"What's wrong?" Fanning asked in a deep voice.

"He was injured by Yang Du!"

One student said angrily, "They are deliberately bullying our students in Luming Academy. ”

Lu Youwei reported the Sword Club, in his words, he was relatively timid, and practicing swordsmanship could strengthen his courage, so it must have happened during the Sword Club activities in the afternoon.

Everyone stopped the blood for Lu You, and Fanning pulled one of the students and asked, "What happened?" ”

The student said angrily: "Today's sword club class was held, and later it was changed to one-on-one practice chopping, and more than 20 people from Gufeng Academy came to provoke us.

Yang Du took the lead in challenging us, everyone was silent, he began to insult the Zhao master, saying that an old turtle taught a group of small turtles, Lu Youwei could not tolerate him insulting the master, so he stepped forward and accepted his challenge. ”

The student sighed, "As a result, Lu Youwei was not Yang Du's opponent, and the two swords were defeated, he abandoned the sword and admitted defeat, but Yang Du refused to stop, and continued to slash him, and his attack was very vicious, specifically targeting Lu Youwei's face." ”

Fanning frowned, "Didn't you practice with a wooden sword?" ”

"In fact, the edge of the wooden sword is also very sharp, and it can also cut through the flesh and skin."

At this time, several students shouted angrily: "It's too much to be injured like this!" ”

Fan Ning hurriedly walked back, the blood on Lu Youwei's face had been washed away, and he saw that a big hole had been cut on his left cheek, and the skin and flesh were turned over, looking very hideous and terrifying.

The anger in Fanning's heart suddenly burned, although it didn't hurt the muscles and bones, but leaving such a long scar, it was a broken phase.

This will affect Lu Youwei's future.

"This is Gu Feng Academy bullying us, we must not swallow our anger!"

The students were excited, shouting that they wanted to stand up for their classmates.

Su Liang asked Fan Ning in a low voice, "What should I do now?" ”

Fan Ning sneered and said: "Swallowing your anger will only go away, and only by making a big deal can you get justice!" ”

Fanning walked quickly to the front and shouted, "Everyone, please be quiet, listen to me!" ”

The students quieted down, and Fan Ning said in a loud voice: "This matter is Gu Feng Academy bullying our Luming Academy, we should tell the oracle and ask the oracle to ask for an explanation for Lu Youwei and apologize!" Punish severely! ”

"That's right, we apologize! Punish severely! The crowd shouted along.

"Everybody come with me!"

In response, more than 50 students from Luming Academy followed Fan Ning towards the main building, the Qinxue Building.

A mass incident broke out in the county school, and the county school has not had such a situation for more than ten years.

Soon the professors of the county school were alarmed, and Zhao Xiuwen, who had just returned to the county school from outside, also hurriedly came down from the second floor.

The news had spread, and more and more students were coming from all directions, and hundreds of students surrounded the more than 50 students on the steps.

"What are you doing?"

Zhang Yi, the chief professor of Gufeng Academy, took the lead in running out and shouted angrily at Fan Ning and the others, "You don't study well, why do you come here to disrupt the order of the school?" ”

Fan Ning pulled Lu Youwei up, pointed at his face and said to Zhang Yi, "This is a good thing your disciple has done, please Professor Zhang give us an explanation!" ”

"We're going to say the law!" More than 50 students raised their arms and shouted together.

An indescribable pride flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes, and he pretended to be surprised: "This.... Who did this? ”

"This is your disciple Yang Du's murder and injury!"

Hearing that it was Yang Duchuang's fault, Zhang Yi's face suddenly became complicated.

"Who did that?" An angry voice came from behind him.

Zhao Xiuwen walked in separately from the others, and when he saw Lu Youwei's bloody face, he was also extremely angry in his heart.

Fan Ning stepped forward and saluted, and then told the original story of what happened in the Sword Society class.

When Zhao Xiuwen heard that Gu Feng's students scolded him for being an old turtle, he glared at Zhang Yi very resentfully, which was what Zhang Yi often scolded himself behind his back.

His students actually scolded themselves, needless to say, it must have been Zhang Yi who instigated behind his back.

He then said to Fanning and the other students: "I already know the reason for this incident, and I have seen the injury with my own eyes, now you go back immediately, don't gather to petition again, this will affect the students' studies, I believe the school will deal with it fairly!" ”

Zhang Ruoying also said: "Fanning, take everyone back, it's suitable!" ”

Fan Ning brought everyone to the main building, as long as he attracted enough momentum and attention, he would achieve his goal, and if he made too much trouble, Zhang Yi would catch the handle.

Moreover, Lu Youwei's injury cannot be delayed.

Fanning glared at Zhang Yi angrily, turned back to the students and said loudly: "We can go back, but we must express our attitude, we have to apologize!" Punish severely! ”

More than 50 students raised their arms again and shouted: "Apologize!" Punish severely! ”
