Zhu Xiangru landed on the bow of the painting boat with his whole body wet, but when he saw the white-clothed boy looking at him with a smile, he hugged his fists and said, "Brother Tai, what a handsome skill." Zhu Xiangru saw that he was dressed in white, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, jade face and red lips, and he was really a graceful and beautiful son. Zhu Xiangru's face was originally quite handsome, but compared with it, it was much inferior.

Zhu Xiangru also said politely: "Brother Tai has a good reputation, there are many disturbances!" The man in white said with a smile: "Brother Tai's clothes are all wet, and there are extra clean clothes in the boat, if you don't dislike it, you can ask Brother Tai to change it." Zhu Xiangru thought to himself that it was really inappropriate for the two parties to wear each other's clothes when they first met.

As he was groaning, the man in white smiled again: "I think my brother should be a bold and open-minded person, why is he so restrained about this trivial matter?" Zhu Xiangru thought about it and hesitated again, and it seemed hypocritical. Then he nodded and said, "You're welcome to do that." The white-clothed boy instructed a servant in green clothes standing beside him and said, "Ah Yun, take the boy to the back cabin and take a set of my clothes for him to change." ”

Ah Yun raised his eyes and looked at him, with a hint of cunning in his eyes, the man in white gave him a blank look, and shouted softly: "Go quickly!" Ah Yun responded: "Yes." He said to Zhu Xiangru again: "Son, please come with me." Zhu Xiangru saw it in his eyes and said strangely: "How can this white-clothed boy and this servant be like this?" ”

Zhu Xiangru followed Ah Yun to the rear cabin, as soon as he entered the cabin, he faintly smelled a peculiar fragrance at the end of his nose, only to see that the cabin was very luxuriously furnished, a color of mahogany furniture, a bed near the window, a brocade embroidered quilt, gorgeous as fire, and a picture of a lady embedded with gold wire was hung on the bulkhead. On the table across from the bed were a few playthings, all of which looked like they were expensive and expensive. Although Zhu Xiangru is a royal emperor, he was born in the countryside and has lived a hard civilian life since he was a child.

Li Xiangru was guessing the identity and origin of the young man in white, Ah Yun had already taken out a set of clothes from a box with a cover inlaid with gold and jade, and said to Zhu Xiangru: "Son, you will change into this set of clothes, and after changing the wet clothes on your body, put them on the stool, and I will order someone to take them and help you dry them." Zhu Xiangru thanked him, and Ah Yun walked out of the cabin and closed the door.

Zhu Xiangru shook off his clothes, only to see that the clothes were made of royal blue brocade, new and eye-catching, the texture was smooth and soft, and it was extremely comfortable to the touch. He took off his wet clothes and looked at the letter in his arms, it turned out that he knew that the letter written by the Yushu Taoist was particularly important, so he wrapped several layers of oiled paper and pasted it.

He changed into clean clothes, which were a little shorter, but barely fitted. Then he wiped his hair with the face towel that Ah Yun had prepared, saw a comb made of mahogany on the table, picked it up and combed his hair neatly, and hid the letter close to him, and then he left the cabin.

Before he was poured by the heavy rain like a chicken in soup, his hair was messy, and he was embarrassed, but now once he cleaned up, he put on gorgeous clothes, and he looked even more heroic and extraordinary, handsome and outstanding, as soon as he got out of the cabin, the man in white stood outside the cabin door, and couldn't help but light up his eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Tai wears this clothes, he looks even more handsome!" Zhu Xiangru blushed and said: "Childe is smiling, you are the most beautiful boy in a thousand!" The boy in white heard him praise his appearance, and his heart was happy, and he stepped forward to take Zhu Xiangru's hand and said: " I am fortunate to know Brother Tai, why don't you sit down and drink a cup of tea, enjoy the rain and taste tea on Dianchi Lake, isn't it a beautiful thing in the world?" Zhu Xiangru saw that his ten fingers were slender, and one hand was white and transparent, and he thought in his heart: "How can this young man be like a daughter's family." ”

The man in white took Zhu Xiangru to the outer cabin of the painting boat, Zhu Xiangru took a closer look at the entire painting boat, and saw that the painting boat was very large, divided into two cabins, one for the outer cabin, one for the inner cabin, and Zhu Xiangru was the inner cabin for the right clothes. Outside this cabin is very spacious, can accommodate dozens of people, the whole boat inside and outside are painted with red lacquer translucent, the cabin is carved everywhere, carved dragon and painted phoenix, the carving is exquisite and ingenious, a look is made by skilled craftsmen. Seven or eight servants were busy in the cabin, and there were two copper stoves in the cabin with charcoal fires, and the fire in the furnace was blazing.

The two servants took out the wet clothes that Li Xiangru had changed, and with four hands on them, they were baking on the fire. In another furnace, three or four servants were cooking tea on the stove with a delicate tea set. There is a tea table on the right side of the charcoal stove, and a pair of tea sets and teacups are placed on the tea table, and the teacups are made of fine magnetism, which looks crystal clear and delicate, thin as cicada wings, as if transparent, and makes people happy to see. In the middle of the cabin, there is a guqin, the body texture is delicate, the shape is simple and elegant, there are a few incense sticks lit in an incense burner next to the piano, the smoke curls, the fragrance enters the nose, it makes people feel refreshed.

I saw that the servants were extremely respectful to the white-clothed man, except for Ah Yun, they all lowered their heads, and they didn't even dare to look at him. Zhu Xiangru thought to himself: "This young man is so magnificent, I don't know what it is?"

After a while, only the smell of tea overflowed, filling the entire cabin. Zhu Xiangru couldn't help but praise: "Good tea, good fragrant tea!"

The white-clothed boy smiled slightly and asked, "Does Brother Tai also like the tea ceremony?" Zhu Xiangru remembered that when he was a child, his grandfather Wu Wenru often drank tea and read, so he accompanied him and listened to him talk about Ziri Shiyun and the old things of the previous dynasty. He replied, "I only know a little bit." This tea smells like an aged Pu'er, fragrant but not greasy, mellow but not demonic, and it is the best in tea. The white-clothed boy was overjoyed, stroked his palms and said: "Brother Tai is very knowledgeable, the tea cooked in the pot is the best Pu'er, and it has been stored for hundreds of years." In the tea, my father loves Pu'er, and I have learned some since I was a child. ”

Zhu Xiangru said: "In the Tang Dynasty, Lu Hongji's "Book of Tea" has a cloud: the way of tea is cooking, the way of cooking is in the fire, and the way of fire is in the furnace. I see that the childe stove is the upper furnace, the fire is warm, and the cooking is evenly cooked, and it seems that it has entered the tea ceremony. ”

The boy in white laughed and said: "Brother Tai has won the award, the old saying is hard to find, today I met Brother Tai by chance, and I met a bosom friend in a tea, which is really lucky." The poem 'Liuhua purifies the muscles and bones, and cleanses the heart. "With two or three best friends, in the spring season, a good tea, isn't it a great pleasure in life?" Zhu Xiangru listened to him speak elegantly, and had good knowledge, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart.

The first time he met someone of a similar age, and this person was handsome and elegant, he was also happy in his heart, so he said: "Childe is really an elegant person." The beauty of tea tasting, the ancient sages have a lot of praise, I don't know if the son knows it?" The white-clothed man glanced at him and said: "Brother Tai really knows this way, and I wish to hear it in detail." ”

Zhu Xiangru said: "Since Lu Hong gradually had the "Book of Tea", tea tasting has become a great thing in the world. Especially the literati and writers, chivalrous and philosophers, have a high opinion on tea tasting. Su Dongpo, a great poet of the Song Dynasty, said: "The red roast shallow Ou is new and alive, and the dragon group is small and fights the window." Lu You said again: "The dwarf paper is slanted and idle, and the eyes and windows are fine and the milk is divided into tea." 'How wonderful is this situation?'

The boy in white praised again and again, and said: "A good sentence, 'Red roasted shallow Ou new fire, dragon group small grinding eye window.'" It was in line with the scene in front of me, but it was raining heavily outside the window. After that, he smiled again, and walked to the tea table with Zhu Xiangru and sat down.

The white-clothed man hugged his fists and said: "I've been talking with my brother for a long time, and I haven't asked for my name?" Zhu Xiangru thought that his identity was special and secret, and he didn't know the details of the other party, so he couldn't take the liberty of telling him his real name and surname, and after thinking about it for a while, he thought that he had temporarily fabricated a Taoist name called "Qingxuan" at that time. Then he smiled and said: "My surname is Li, and my name is Qingxuan." The man in white said, "Good name." A good name, it's really a human being. Zhu Xiangru said: "When I was bothered for a long time, I was asked to change my clothes by Gongzi, and I wanted to ask Gongzi's name to thank him." The man in white smiled: "It's a trivial matter, why bother." Under the surname... Old... Chen, whose name is Diqiu. Zhu Xiangru said: "The name of the son is also extraordinary. The boy in white said: "I was born in autumn, so I named it Ogiqiu." At this time, Ah Yun, the servant standing behind him, pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this. Chen Diqiu turned his head and glanced at him again, and Ah Yun hurriedly suppressed his laughter, pretending to be serious.

While they were talking, several servants had already cooked the tea, poured it into a magnetic cup, and brought it to the two of them. Chen Diqiu picked up the teacup, saluted Zhu Xiangru, and said, "Brother Qingxuan, please." Let's try how this pu-erh tastes. He took a sip. Zhu Xiangru also picked up the tea, said "please", raised his head and drank the tea in the cup.
