Volume 1 In Search of a Thousand Years Chapter 20 Tea on the World

The two walked through the bustling street market, leaving the capital all the way north, and the weather became even hotter when the sun rose.

Qu Yuan held up an umbrella for Zhaoyue, which was very intimate.

Zhaoyue: "Lingjun, don't hold an umbrella, it's troublesome, let's go faster, get over there early"

Qu Yuan was unmoved, and Zhaoyue had no choice.

Zhaoyue: "Lingjun, do we still want to buy some small saplings and flower seeds to bring over, I always felt that there were shortcomings last time I went."

Qu Yuan: "I still have some space over there, and I'm going to plant some osmanthus chrysanthemums."

Suddenly, Zhaoyue's mind showed the beautiful scenery of the cherry blossom avenue of Wuhan University, but I don't know if there is such a tree as cherry blossoms in this era, but it is not bad to plant cherry trees, and you can eat cherries.

Zhaoyue: "I like peach blossoms, peach blossoms, scorching bloom, I like peach blossoms and cherry blossoms blooming, of course I know that Lingjun likes this kind of fragrant grass and trees the most, why don't we plant some osmanthus and cherries, these two trees are practical, cherry blossoms are gorgeous and poignant, and they can bear fruit." ”

Qu Yuan listened to Zhaoyue's plan, kept talking, and looked at her seriously in a daze.

Then when he came back to his senses, he heard Zhaoyue asking himself, "Lingjun, what do you think?" ”

Qu Yuan smiled gently: "Well, okay, I'll listen to you"

Originally, Zhaoyue also wore Hanfu to go out to play in modern times, but wearing light Hanfu in summer is also a sin, I really don't know how the ancients spent summer.

Fortunately, this dress was prepared by the daughter-in-law, and the original owner of this body also brought clothes, as well as a change of underwear, the clothes of the ancients were really cumbersome, and it took me a long time to figure it out.

I have to admire the wisdom of the ancients, their textile technology is already so powerful, and now it is the height of summer, wearing this loose wide-sleeved clothing is comfortable and breathable, so as not to heat stroke...

It's better not to change the plan at the last minute, although I want to plant some more plants in that secret place, but since I decided to go there early in the morning, it will still delay the preparation of these small saplings and tools halfway.

The two finally decided to talk about it later when they had a chance. In fact, Zhaoyue also wants to build another grass shed, tidy up the flowers and plants in the garden, and it is not bad to make tea and enjoy the scenery and read books there, whether it is the scorching sun or the heavy rain, there is no need to worry. However, these can be included in the renovation plan.

After about an hour, I finally saw the familiar grove, surrounded by trees and bamboo, which completely obscured the small stone pool inside.

Zhaoyue: "Lingjun, do we have any activities here today, Zhaoyue's curiosity is surging. ”

Qu Yuan was deliberately silent: "Guess, you'll know when the meeting arrives, let's go."

Zhaoyue expressed helplessness: "Alas, Lingjun will also sell Guanzi..."

Qu Yuan found a flat land with shade, the grass under the trees spread to the small stone pool, unwrapped the package on his body, Zhaoyue took some water in the stone pool, and handed the wet handkerchief to Qu Yuan to wipe his sweat.

Qu Yuan: "Thank you, Xiaoyue, you can sit down and rest first, I'll leave for a while"

Zhao Yue was alone under the tree to cool off, and it didn't take long for Qu Yuan to come over wearing a package, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a delicate stove, as well as a teapot and a teacup and a tea barrel.

Zhaoyue was surprised: "Wow, Lingjun, you hide so many treasures"

Qu Yuan: "Yes, I come here every three or five times, and after a long time, I have slowly prepared a lot of things, these tea sets I prepared myself, as well as this piano, are hidden here and no one has found out."

Qu Yuan explained with a sense of meaning, and Zhao Yue looked at it with a confused expression.

Qu Yuan didn't stop explaining: "There are also cups and plates and utensils we brought from home today, which are also going to stay here."

As he spoke, he unwrapped the package, there were still some snacks inside, and there were not many cups, plates, and lacquerware, but it was enough for one person to be here.

Look at it again and bring some books, in fact, I have long found that Qu Yuan likes to read "Lao Tzu", which should be due to the rise of Chu culture, the Central Plains Zhou Li Xing in Confucius Confucianism, and the Lao Zhuang culture of inaction made Chu a big country with Qi for a while, no wonder Qu Yuan likes to read "Lao Tzu".

Zhaoyue spread out the bamboo slips, about Lao Tzu has read the "Tao Te Ching" and "The Tao Te Cheung and the Lost Dao Help", and this "Lao Tzu" records the things are obscure, too far apart, it seems that the ancients' written communication habits are not familiar overnight, but there is no quick way at the moment, and it is not a way to borrow and live in someone else's house, you must be independent......

I think that these ideas of my own may not be applicable in ancient times, but I am not an ancient woman after all, and my advantage lies in advanced thinking, so I can't go back to more than 2,000 years ago.

Thinking about the kung fu Qu Yuan was already on the stove, Zhao Yue hurriedly helped clean up the teacups and tea sets, took them to Shitan to clean, and after finishing the work, Qu Yuan began to hold "Lao Tzu" and read it.

Zhaoyue looked at Qu Yuan reading the book seriously: "Lingjun, I found that you like "Lao Tzu very much", I only know about Lao Tzu Tao Te Ching, can you tell me about the content you read?"

Qu Yuan raised his eyes, and Zhaoyue had been quietly watching by his side, quietly guarding the water on the stove.

If it can continue like this, who knows what the future holds. From the moment he decided to follow Wu Qi's reform, he knew that if the reform was successful, the Chu State would dominate the world, and if he failed, he, the advocate of the reform, and the people who implemented the change, would end up in the same situation as Wu Qi.

No matter how things develop, looking back, there is still one person who silently stays by his side for this life.

Zhaoyue reminded Qu Yuan: "Lingjun, what's wrong with you?" ”

Qu Yuan remembered the question that Zhaoyue asked himself, and opened the chapters of "Lao Tzu" that he often read, these chapters are thought-provoking, if one day he can revise the constitution, the ideas in them are all inspiring.

The song is complete, and the vain is straight; If you are low, you will be profitable, and if you are disadvantages, you will be new; Less is gained, more is confused, it is a saint holding one for the world.

I don't see myself, so I know; is not self-sufficient, so it is revealed; If you don't cut yourself, you have merit; Not self-conscious, so long.

The explanation is: bending can be preserved, but under pressure it is straightened; The depression is filled, and the withering is renewed; Singleness is thus obtained, and manyness is so confused. Therefore, the sage grasps the law of the unity of all things and can govern the world.

Not only based on what you see, but you can see clearly, not self-righteous, but respected, not boasting about yourself, but can see credit, not arrogant, but long-lasting.

After speaking about these, Qu Yuan continued to read: "Good deeds have no traces (zhé); 善言无節 (xiá) 谪 (zhé); Good numbers don't need to be planned; Good closed, irrelevant and unopenable; Good knots, untied and untied. It is a saint who saves people with kindness, so he does not abandon people; Always be good at saving things, so there is no discarded things, which is called attacking Ming.

There is a virtuous king who does things for the people without leaving a trace (the people will not find out); There is no flaw in issuing the decree (and the people will not know about it); planning for the people without utensils (will naturally prosper); The gates of the city are not open without gates (enemies); There is no need to agree with neighboring countries, and no one can be separated. Therefore, the saint always treats the people with kindness, and no one can abandon them; Make good use of things, and there is nothing to discard.

Zhaoyue heard this, Lao Tzu's thought is nothing more than to convince people with virtue, it seems that the rule of inaction is actually like water conservancy and indisputability, good as water can conform to the development of nature without going against the will of the people, no wonder Lingjun can finally consider the implementation of the United States after the change of law, who can think so far in this troubled era of etiquette collapse and happiness. They only think about the monarch, who has to consider the people, Zhaoyue's thoughts also amazed Qu Yuan.
