Chapter 223 Pagoda Poems, Agarwood Building
"I heard that Gongzi wants to buy a tea mountain, do you know where this tea comes from?" Chu Lingye, the boy in white, looked at Jiang Han and said.
Is this an examination of me? Chu Lingye is one of the three great talents in Kyoto, and his knowledge must be very good. Listen to the ...... I don't know if it has anything to do with the eldest princess Ning Yue, or is it just a coincidence?
Jiang Han thought in his heart and said: "The tea man, the Jiamu in the south, one foot and two feet, or even dozens of feet, there are two people hugging the Bashan Gorge River, and they will be cut down. Its trees are like melons and reeds, the leaves are like gardenias, the flowers are like white roses, the fruit is like palmetto, the pedicles are like cloves, the roots are like walnuts, the trillions are rubble, and the seedlings are pumped. ”
Chu Lingye's eyes lit up, this Jiang Han actually understood this, she smiled again and asked, "Does the son know the way to pick tea?" ”
Jiang Han replied: "Where tea is picked, it is between February, March, and April. The bamboo shoots of tea, the rotten stone fertile soil, four or five inches long, Ruowei, fern began to smoke, Ling Lu picked. The buds of tea are born on the thin clumps, and there are three, four, and five branches. On that day, there is rain but not picking, sunny and cloudy not picking; Sunny, picking, steaming, pounding, baking, wearing, sealing, and drying. ”
Chu Lingye said: "What about the way of boiling tea?" ”
Jiang Han groaned: "Where the tea is burned, be careful not to burn it among the wind embers, the flame is like a drill, so that the cold and heat are uneven." In particular, he forced the fire, repeatedly corrected it, waited for the cannon to come out of the back of the toad, and then went to the fire for five inches. Roll and Shu, then the beginning, and burn. If the fire is dry, it will be stopped by gas; The day is dry, to the soft, at the beginning, if the tea to the tender, steamed and pounded, the leaves rot and the buds and shoots remain. If you use strength, you will not be rotten with a thousand pestles, such as lacquer beads......"
Speaking of tea, we have to mention the tea saint Lu Yu, the tea saint has written a book of "The Book of Tea", what Jiang Han said is the content of the "Book of Tea".
Chu Lingye was convinced when he heard it, and said, "Son, great talent! I have such an opinion on the tea ceremony! Chu's family has a tea mountain and has been drinking tea for more than ten years, but when he heard Jun's words, he also felt suddenly enlightened. ”
Jiang Han was a little embarrassed, just let him copy the poem, and he blushed a little if he took the "Book of Tea" for himself.
"Brother Chu praised it, in fact, these are also what Jiang Mou saw from a book." Jiang Han said.
Chu Lingye hurriedly asked, "Oh, what book?" ”
Jiang Han said: "A copy of the Book of Tea, when Jiang was young, he strayed into a cave and got it by chance in the cave. ”
Chu Lingye said, "Childe, can you borrow this book?" ”
Jiang Han shook his head and said, "That book was already in tatters when I got it, and when I turned it over a few times, it had turned into powder. ”
Chu Lingye sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity! ”
Jiang Han said: "But I also remember some, if the girl likes it, write it down another day and give it to the girl." ”
His title was changed from "childe" to "girl", but Chu Lingye didn't notice any difference, and said happily: "Then thank you Jiang Gongzi!" ”
The girl's eyes flashed with excitement, obviously she was very obsessed with the tea ceremony, and she was also very looking forward to the "Book of Tea" that Jiang Han said.
Jiang Han said: "Brother Wang said, Miss Chu's family has a tea mountain, and Jiang is trying to buy it, I don't know what Miss Chu's selling price is?" ”
When it came to business, Chu Lingye also put away his excitement and said with a slight smile: "It's good that my family has a tea mountain, but my family is in the tea business, so I don't need to sell the tea mountain...... However, I heard that Brother Jiang, you are unparalleled in poetry, and some people even call you a poet immortal of Dayu, if Brother Jiang is willing to write poems with tea, it is not unavoidable that this tea mountain will be sold to Brother Jiang for two. ”
You want to compose your own poems...... Jiang Han was silent, not embarrassed, but thinking about the tea poems he remembered.
Li Haitang next to him said crisply: "Jiang Gongzi's poetry is talented, and it is not easy to compose a few poems, so it is better to increase the difficulty and make a pagoda poem." ”
As soon as these words came out, Wang Fugui suddenly said with a sad face: "Brother Li, this pagoda poem is also ......."
Pagoda poems are poems of one to seven characters, with one word in the first sentence, two words in the second sentence, four words in the third sentence, and so on.
Pagoda poems are extremely difficult and rarely tried.
Li Haitang said this, obviously with the intention of making it difficult for Jiang Han.
Li Haitang said with a smile: "Ordinary quatrains, legal poems, didn't Jiang Gongzi get it by hand?" Add a little difficulty, that's the fun! ”
Chu Lingye also looked at Jiang Han with a smile.
Jiang Han said: "Okay, since the two girls have this kind of request, then I will write a pagoda poem." ”
All three were watching.
Jiang Han groaned slightly, and chanted softly:
"Tea.
bay leaves, young shoots.
Mu Shike, love monks. ”
Hearing this, Chu Lingye nodded slightly, these few sentences are in line with the specifications of pagoda poems, but they are also very ordinary.
"Grinding white jade, weaving red yarn.
Cho fried astragalus, bowl twisted dust flowers.
After the night, invite to accompany the bright moon, and be alone with the morning glow before the morning.
Wash away the tirelessness of ancient and modern people, and you will know how to boast after being drunk. ”
Jiang Han recited the last sentence, Chu Lingye's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he high-fived and praised: "Good poem!" A good sentence 'Wash away the ancient and modern people are tireless, and you will know how to boast when you are drunk'! ”
Li Haitang was also pleasantly surprised, and said, "Childe is really talented!" If this poem is spread, when it comes to pagoda poems in the future, it will definitely come to mind. ”
Wang Fugui laughed and said, "What do you need to say about my brother Jiang's poetry?" ”
Jiang Han said: "Praise! Miss Chu, this tea mountain ......"
Chu Lingye said: "Chu never broke his word, Begonia, go and get the title deed." ”
……
The two finally agreed to buy Chu Lingye's three tea mountains at a price of 90,000 taels, which was a bargain, and Jiang Han originally thought that it would triple it.
Jiang Han's tea scripture and the pagoda poem still got Chu Lingye's favor, so he sold it to Jiang Han at this price.
The two went to the government and signed a contract to buy and sell the tea mountain in the presence of the government.
In the end, Chu Lingye invited: "I have a friend who has a poetry club in the Agarwood Building today, Brother Jiang might as well go to the Agarwood Building to discuss poetry and talk about the mysteries." ”
Jiang Han pondered for a while, this agarwood building also belongs to the Fengyue place, but the women in it do not sell their bodies, so it has become a place frequented by literati and ink writers.
He didn't want to go, but he had just done business with Chu Lingye, so it was not easy to refuse the other party.
"Since the girl invited, Jiang was disrespectful, so he went with the girl."
Chu Ling said happily: "Brother Jiang, let's go!" ”
Chu Lingye had a sedan chair by herself, she and Li Haitang got into one, and Jiang Han got into one with Wang Fugui and went to Agarwood Building.

PS: The title of the previous chapter was written incorrectly...... When I started writing, it was Xiao, and I didn't know why it was written as Chu.
