book of ten thousand words

Chapter 14 Rizhu Snow Bud


Early in the morning on the eighth day, Mr. Lin's mansion came to spread the word that Mr. Lin would bring people to drink tea at noon.

So, after the sun passed the highest point, I saw two young men in green clothes carrying a load to the door.All of them are dusty and dusty, their faces are like peach blossoms in shallow spring.On the burden is a very delicate bamboo box.A small urn with several green leaves and red mud sealed inside.In the other, there are gold boxes, stoves, equipment boxes, and so on. "Drinking tea" is the epitome of a well-done and refined elegant scholar's life.Suzhou is the birthplace of this kind of life.

The master who taught me how to draw is a perfect example... He is a typical tea maniac, tea maniac, tea maniac.He is not young, but his children and grandchildren are not prosperous. The place where he lives is very poor, but the tea room is very luxurious.The old master has an extremely well-developed and sharp tongue.The days are long, and several female disciples often accompany the old man to drink tea while studying painting.Once we also served as examiners and set extremely harsh conditions.Ask him to taste it blind.Relying on a good tongue developed by drinking tea for many years, under my repeated difficulties, he actually lived up to expectations and identified the origins of thirty kinds of famous teas.

"Ge'er, come and try it, is this tea made from Huiquan water?...What about this cup?" After getting the water, he would often make things difficult for me on purpose.I'm not a tea drinker like him, and I don't have such a fine tongue, so the answers are often wrong.The old man sighed for a while, said something that is not as good as it used to be, and then tirelessly instilled in me his experience in identifying springs in various places. When he was young, he must have been a romantic and interesting young man; The past is lost, and I know that each of his tea sets is actually not a tea set, but a memory bead of the past.Knowing that this childhood pleasure is the only proof of his noble and elegant soul, knowing that this hobby until death is the sustenance of his life, knowing that his heart that has been broken by current events has actually lost its vitality long ago.

... Every three years, he used to put away his wandering mind and go to Beijing to take the exam.After the fall of the previous dynasty, he refused to let his son study anymore.In addition to painting, he is also obsessed with writing Ming history.He never refused to show it to others, because he said, "This is my own history of Ming Dynasty."Therefore, except for himself, no one knows what kind of past events are recorded on it, not even his wife and children.Once he drank tea and got drunk, he suddenly smiled mysteriously and told me quietly that this book... will be his most beloved funeral object. ...

The past is like flowers, but it has clearly fallen into mud. ...

Mr. Lin is coming soon. I haven't accepted the good spring water he sent, but I relive the scent of tea in the heart of the old man of the Ming Dynasty again.Oh, but, sorry, this is the Qing Dynasty, a prosperous and prosperous age.Life should be fresh, gorgeous and sparkling.

In front of the teaware, Pearl and I looked at each other and smiled, and we both had small ups and downs in our hearts, just like an old friend saying goodbye, there is a kind of spontaneous joy when we meet again for the first time. "Could it be the water from Huishan Spring?" The boy saluted and wiped his sweat.After a while, he said, "Girl Hui, it's not so far away. It's the water from the well in our Shangshan ancient temple."The first pump in the morning is for well water.It is actually not easy to drink such a sip of water.

"Then you have worked hard." I said.The boy said, "That's right. We set off at noon yesterday and dug out the well water twice in the evening. We didn't sleep all night, and the next day when the sun came out, we only drew the water." The other listened and sighed. Said, "I'm exhausted. I don't know why this water is different. If you want me to say, the well water in our house is also very sweet." Mrs. Xu heard our gossip and came out to the little brother Said, "You don't know about that. This spring water is clear and bright, and slightly sweet. The water you have drawn from the head is even more amazing." After hearing this, the young man sighed: "What good water? The two of us drank it and ate two meals of cold steamed buns. I don't think there is any beauty in it." Mrs. Xu waved her hand and said with a smile: "The men here are not here, so let you talk nonsense Let's just rely on your tongues, what can you drink?" After finishing speaking, he left.The boy spat on Pearl and me in one breath, "Our fate is cheap, we are born to be cattle and horses, can it work? My sister collected the water. Let's take care of it later." Pearl heard this, frowned and said, "What? Serving and not serving, your words are too ugly." The boy sneered: "Young lady is really cleaner than water! It's hard to say that this kind of thing was done before." Pearl was almost blown away by him.

Alas, drinking tea is originally an elegant thing, but now it has become trivial before it even starts.

However, after all, "the wonderful and beautiful landscape is said to have been opened by Lu Yu. The legacy of a thousand years is here, and it is wrapped in tea for a hundred miles."This Mr. Lin has worked so hard to get such a handful of good water, he can be regarded as a lover.We didn't dare to neglect, carefully took the water and put it in the house.Thinking of having to serve the generals with care for a while, my heart skipped a few beats.I thought to myself, "Last time I was drinking, this time I'm tasting tea. I won't be as bad as last time." While thinking, he placed the citron, Jingxi pot, Chengxuan kiln porcelain teacup, etc. come out.As I was tidying up, I remembered that my tea-loving master had the rule of "Whenever there is good tea, you must light good incense", which is called "Pearl Dianxiang".

After a while, the room was filled with a scent of fragrance.Although it is fragrant, it is not too sweet. I took a deep breath and asked, "Where did this fragrance come from?" Pearl said, "One day, Miss Lv sent someone to send it to us. I kept it all the time, and I didn't give up. Point." I said, "It smells really good." After finishing speaking, I continued to get busy.I thought to myself: Sure enough, it is the palace, everything is good.

After preparing for a while, the masters finally arrived.Needless to say, Mr. Lin is the one who is ahead of the curve. He didn't wear the eye-catching white fox fur today, but he has a Hetian jade thing in his hand.Mr. Wei was still silent, walking steadily behind.Peiyu on her body made a tinny sound as she walked.One is gorgeous and rich, and the other is as gentle as jade.Under the blue sky and white clouds, walking together gracefully is really a beautiful Chinese painting.

The two people in the painting stepped over the threshold, made way to both sides at the same time, and said, "Please!" Guo Ye, Second Ye, and Third Ye followed closely behind and entered the room one by one.A group of people greeted each other and sat down. "What's the matter, did you drink tea last time?" Master Guo said.The third master still likes to touch his beard, "I heard that Mr. Lin has got good tea these days, so he specially asked us to taste it." Guo Ye waved his sleeves and said disapprovingly: "What's so good about tea? You have to specialize Come here to taste? Then let’s have a drink today. If you can’t get enough, you won’t go back.” Mr. Lin and Mr. Wei smiled, “No. We’re not just drinking tea today. You forgot, we also have to study! Lord Guo frowned, and said, "I haven't forgotten. I'm here to talk about books and make up lessons. The prince will ask about Shiji in two days. Oh, let me tell you, what's so good about an eunuch's book?" Lin The young master smiled: "Since the Lord said so, it really is the right time to come today. It would be bad if he said the same in front of the prince?...

As I listened quietly, my hands set things up.He took the tea leaves and was about to throw them in. Mr. Lin reached out and took some high-quality jasmine from another plain porcelain, put them in the tea leaves and mixed them.Said: "Wait for the water to heat up and fry it together to make a hot soup."

His eyes were still as bright as snow.

I did as he said.After a while, he instructed again, "Take an open porcelain pot and serve it. When the tea soup is cold, pour it with boiling soup." I did as I said.After a while, the fragrance wafted away.The tea soup is as green as fresh bamboo shoots, clear and transparent.There is an indescribable beauty of color and smell: it is not tea at all, it is a fine work of art.

I waited for the fire to arrive and poured tea one by one.The pearls stepped forward and sent them to the masters one by one.Master Guo sniffed it vigorously, and said, "Okay!" All the masters also took a sip of their cups.The third master said: "What kind of tea is this? Has such a fragrance?" Mr. Lin was about to speak, Mr. Wei said, "Don't announce it, Mr. Lin, I will guess."

Tiny raised his head and thought for a while, then said: "Is it Rizhu Xueya?" Mr. Lin clapped his hands and praised: "Mr. Wei has a good tongue. It is indeed Rizhu Xueya. Not enough. This is not only Xueya tea, but also the best of them— —Lan Xue tea." Mr. Wei nodded and said, "That's right. It's really good tea. But good tea should also have good water." Nodding his head and frowning, he said, "Why do you use the well water that the palace usually eats?" Lin The young master was very proud, "Fourth master was wrong. This is the well water from the old spring in Shangshan. I sent someone to go up the mountain yesterday. It was delivered to the house at noon today." Fourth master was stunned, Drank the tea in the cup in one gulp. "Oh, I didn't drink it." So everyone chatted while drinking tea.

Guo Ye had never read any historical records before.It was just a few masters discussing and saying a few words to him.Listen carefully, it turns out that there are two chapters, "The Benji of Qin Dynasty" and "The Benji of the First Emperor".After finally finishing the speech, everyone asks Mr. Guo to talk about his views.Master Guo thought for a while and said, "Tell me, where are the twelve bronze men that Qin Shihuang collected all the weapons from all over the world and cast into them?" Everyone coaxed: "It's really unreasonable! The prince asked us to read this to understand the history of Taishi Gong. When studying heaven and man, the painstaking efforts of becoming a family are not for novelty." Master Guo sighed, threw the historical records away, and said, "Then let's drink tea."

At this moment, there was a sudden report from outside, saying, "Eunuch Ma is here."Before he finished speaking, he heard his father-in-law's footsteps.Because the father-in-law is highly respected in the mansion, and several masters have always respected him, everyone stood up to greet him.

Eunuch Ma was surprised when he saw the master of this house. "Why are all the masters here?"

Young Master Lin said, "My lord is going to talk to us in a few days. Brothers, get together to review your homework." Then he said, "My father-in-law is here, and you can try my tea too." He made a cup for Ma Gong-gong himself. hold over.The official announced his thanks, tasted the product, and said: "That's right, it's Rizhu Xueya."

"It's not just like that, is it?" Mr. Lin approached and asked, "How about the water?"

The father-in-law repeated the words of Mr. Xialin, "How is this water?" The masters said, "Grandpa, this is the water from the well just drilled today." The father-in-law took another sip and said, "I am a rough man! I can’t drink this anymore. But I just know it’s delicious.” Several laughed and said, “If the father-in-law is still a rough person, there will be no fine people in this world. Mr. Lin was thoughtful, “It’s strange, why today Two master tea drinkers can't drink well water? "

He patted the table and told the people outside, "Call a guy who fetches water." After a while, the boy just came over in fear.He didn't dare to say hello to people, and he didn't dare to look up at people, his legs were shaking like chaff. "What kind of water did you get today?" Mr. Lin looked at him coldly for a while and asked.The servant didn't answer, and knelt down with a plop.Mr. Lin asked again.The young man immediately collapsed on the ground, and told the truth: it turned out that the fruit was not from a well, but from the ordinary well of the Wangfu.The two of them had worked so hard and went up the mountain to get a real well of water.Unexpectedly, when I came here just now, I accidentally spilled a can.Afraid of punishment, we discussed it.One said, "How much difference can there be between water and water? We secretly used the good well water in the mansion, and the men may not be able to taste it." This encouraged the other to change his position.The two of them really quietly tapped well water and brought it over.But, "I didn't expect the tongues of the two masters to be so thin, and I could tell them apart." Mr. Lin was stunned for a long time after hearing this, his face turned pale with anger, and he wanted someone to beat the boy to death.All of a sudden, the atmosphere of drinking tea was completely destroyed by the voice of pleading.In the end, it was really outrageous, Eunuch Ma stood up and said, "I think, this kid should let him go this time." Young Master Lin said, "I should give the face of the father-in-law. But this matter of deceiving the master, If I spare him this time, I don’t know who will have the next time. How can I convince the people in the house in the future?” He must be beaten to death.Eunuch Ma pointed his hand upwards and said, "It doesn't matter if you beat someone to death. What is the status of this old slave? You shouldn't have stopped him. But this is not an ordinary place. If you really want to die, read Fu Jin's scriptures."

Mr. Lin, who was still furious just now, calmed down when he heard this.Lian Rong said to his subordinates: "You drag him down." Turning around, he bowed to his father-in-law, and said, "Thanks to my father-in-law for reminding me." Eunuch Ma laughed and said, "You are almost thirty, and you are still young and ignorant? But It's better to be more lenient with others." After a pause, Eunuch Ma said again, "In the future, you should come to this place less often. Let me tell you, it's better not to come. There are many girls in Huapuli, why bother?" Gua Tian Li Xia, what is causing the prince's heart trouble? What if the copying of scriptures and praying for blessings does not work, do you know who is to blame?"

The masters all said yes, and their expressions were a little weird.
