Seventeen,

After all, the Chinese books in Zhou Xuan’s two years were not read in vain. Not only could I memorize a few poems, but I was also interested in some ancient idle books. He fell in love with fighting insects because he read Jia Sidao’s "The Story of the Bottle" by Yuan Hongdao in the Ming Dynasty, he was fascinated by the art of vase flower that rose in the Tang Dynasty and was popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties for a while. He participated in the school’s "Vase Flower Club", and the club was full of girls.

The two copper vases from the Wei and Jin dynasties were inserted with early osmanthus flowers and chrysanthemums respectively. The bottles where chrysanthemums were also set against a begonia. The branches and leaves were trimmed, and the flowers and leaves were complemented by each other, with fresh and beautiful and fragrant appearance.

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "It is best to enjoy the flowers in the clear view of the flowers. I will come to learn tea art tonight and bring two bottles of flowers and sister Daoyun. Unfortunately, I can't find a better porcelain bottle in a hurry, so I will replace it with bronze bottles. The chrysanthemum is not Xishi chrysanthemum, otherwise it would be better."

Seeing that his sister was silent, Lin Hanyun asked, "Sister, do you like these two old bottles that Zhou Xuan gave you?"

Fairy Jingyi replied, "Yeah, I like it very much."

Lin Hanyun was stunned, but she didn't expect that Zhou Xuan would really talk. Her sister really liked these two bottles of flowers. After thinking about it, she said angrily: "Zhou Xuan, you will please my sister. She is so fierce to me. You won't take me to see the insect war, you will bully people."

Fairy Jingyi heard her sister say that Zhou Xuan pleased her, and her cheeks under the veil couldn't help but feel hot, and she said angrily: "Hanyun, don't talk nonsense." But she thought to herself: "Did Zhou Xuan mean to please me? The bottle matches Hua Ji, it took a lot of effort."

Lin Hanyun said: "That sister promised me to go to the 'Super Autumn War Hall' in three days to watch the insect war. Zhou Xuan said he would come to pick me up."

Zhou Xuan said: "Didn't you say I'm bullying? I won't come to pick me up."

Fairy Jingyi saw the two of them quarrel, shook her head, and said, "It is not advisable to make noise in the tea room - Hanyun, you should go to see the fight insects, and promised my sister two things. One is not to run around. Last time, I ran to the riverside and then had a big incident-"

Lin Hanyun interrupted and said, "Sister, if I hadn't taken Zhou Xuan to the riverside, I wouldn't have met the Sanzi Chi, then Lord Li would have been helpless. Isn't it all my credit? Lord Li is also very grateful to me."

Fairy Jingyi had no choice but to this thick-skinned sister and said, "Anyway, you have to listen to him when you go out with Mr. Zhou. If he says you are naughty and disobedient outside, then don't think about going out in the future. I'm afraid of dad's punishment."

Lin Hanyun opened her mouth and stopped talking.

Zhou Xuan took out the flower and bird beauty from his arms and gave it to him. Fairy Jingyi opened it carefully and exclaimed softly: "I didn't expect that Mrs. Zhou not only had excellent medical skills, but also had the ability to embroider. She was really clever."

Lin Hanyun said: "Sister, Zhou Xuan has two wives. It should not be embroidered by the doctor's wife, but another one. I heard that it was the palace maid who returned home this time. Somehow Zhou Xuan married him again!"

Fairy Jingyi heard her sister's tone was dissatisfied, as if Zhou Xuan was forcibly robbing a girl from the folks, and said, "Okay, thank you Mr. Zhou for your gift. The female doctrine is very grateful. She must not think that this is a ceremony for apprenticeship. The female doctrine also asks Mr. Zhou for advice on the music and bottle flowers."

Just like Lin Hanyun refused to call him brother, Fairy Jingyi didn't want to call him brother Xuan.

Zhou Xuan was respectfully prepared to listen to the class.

Fairy Jingyi asked: "Does Mr. Zhou know the origin of the allusion of the word "Nine Difficulties" in the Jiunan Mountain House?"

Zhou Xuan thought to himself: "I know there is a Master Jiunan in "The Deer and the Cauldron", but you are a Taoist nun. Do you still want to enter the Buddha through Taoism?" He said: "I am ashamed, I don't know, please let me know."

Fairy Jingyi nodded in praise, very satisfied with Zhou Xuan's attitude. People feel so strange. The first impression is good, but they like it everywhere afterwards. Even if they can't answer questions, it is a manifestation of good moral character.

"Taoism has the saying "Nine Difficulties and Ten Demons". Lu Yu's Tea Classic also says "Nine Difficulties". The "Nine Difficulties Mountain House" of the Female Taoism has these two meanings. It is not necessary to mention Taoism. It only talks about the "Take Classic" with nine difficulties, one is made, two is separated, three vessels, four fires, five water, six roasts, seven powders, eight boils, nine drinks, and the "drink" is ranked in nine. It can be seen that it is the most difficult. There are many people in the world who are good at making tea, but few guests who know the taste. So when I heard the two friends of Mr. Zhou last time, I was very touched. Mr. Zhou wanted to ask whether Mr. Zhou would rather be the eight difficulties before school, or should he specialize in the ninth difficulty?"

Fairy Jingyi crossed her hands on her chest, her waist and back were straight, and her sitting posture was very beautiful. Her voice was soft and gentle. She didn't have to listen to her at all. The voice of her speech was fascinating.

Zhou Xuan said: "I hope to learn the ninth difficulty."

Fairy Jingyi said again: "This ninth difficulty is not just a matter of sitting and drinking. If you want to taste like your friend Zhang, you must identify the water of famous springs in the world, the level of tea sets, the types of famous teas in various places, and whether the picking and making is timely? Is the time for cooking tea boiling time and the degree of degree? All of these must be clear about it - Master Zhou, are you still willing to learn it?"

Zhou Xuan thought to himself: "It's okay anyway, come and listen to your words and you will be able to keep your ears." He said without hesitation: "I am willing to learn."

Fairy Jingyi was secretly happy and called her maids Mingfeng and Jianyue to ask them to fetch water. After a while, the two of them came with three celadon tea cups. The six identical tea cups lined up on the ebony tea table in front of Zhou Xuan.

"Mr. Zhou, these six types of water are Lushan Valley Curtain Spring Water, Lushan Zhaoyin Spring Water, Wuxi Huishan Shiquan, Qizhou Lanxi Spring, Xinzhou Luyu Spring, Guangling Shugangfeng Spring - Mr. Zhou is an overseas visitor. He naturally hasn't tasted these spring waters before. Please savor them one by one. If you can distinguish the nuances, it will be considered successful."

The elegant and lovely maid Ming Feng smiled and took a black ribbon and said, "Mr. Zhou, please blindfold your eyes."

Zhou Xuan knew that blindfolding his eyes was helpful to improve his tongue's discernment ability. It was best to block his ears, immediately took the black ribbon, blindfolded his eyes, and tied a knot on the back of his head.

Mingfeng's voice: "Please please savor these six kinds of spring water in turn." As he said that, a soft little hand pulled his hand and handed a celadon cup to his hand.

Zhou Xuan held the teacup and lit the water in the cup with the tip of his tongue. The pure spring water was not teacup. So he calmed down and savored it for a while, then put it down and spread his palms to indicate that the second cup was coming.

After savoring the six spring waters one by one, Zhou Xuan felt it in his heart and said, "I can already tell the difference between each spring water."

"Is that?" Fairy Jingyi's beautiful voice was filled with a hint of surprise: "Mingfeng, disrupt the order, and then bring the spring water to Mr. Zhou to taste."

Zhou Xuan savored Mingfeng and handed over the first cup, and hesitated and said, "It seems to be the fourth cup before."

Fairy Jingyi said nothing and signaled to bring this cup to Zhou Xuan again.

Zhou Xuan savored it again and said with a smile: "Mingfeng is here to tease me too. This is the one I just saw, and I can still tell this."

Ming Feng chuckled with a "ge" and took another cup for Zhou Xuan.

After reading one by one, Zhou Xuan reported the rankings of the spring water in the order of the first time.

Fairy Jingyi's voice said: "Young Master Zhou, you can untie the ribbon."

Zhou Xuan let go of the blindfolded ribbon, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Sister Daoyun, am I wrong a lot?"

Lin Hanyun was banned from speaking by her sister, and she spoke at this time: "You are almost wrong, you are confused."

Zhou Xuan was so ashamed.

Fairy Jingyi quickly said, "Don't listen to Hanyun's nonsense. Mr. Zhou tasted it six times, and by the way, it was already very rare. It's really a mistake to learn tea ceremony for women's Taoism."

Zhou Xuan became proud again and thought to himself: "It seems that my taste buds are well developed. Is it because I have kissed a lot these days? Haha."

Fairy Jingyi said: "This pure spring water is easy to taste, but it is difficult to taste after cooking tea. Because the fragrance of tea changes the taste of water, Mr. Zhou has to do it step by step. The female thought that Mr. Zhou can eventually reach the taste of your friend named Zhang."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "It depends on the cultivation of Sister Daoyun."

Fairy Jingyi couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm here today. I can't be anxious about tea art. I need to be influenced by it for a long time, gain knowledge, and taste famous tea."

Lin Hanyun had been impatient for a long time and quickly stood up and said, "Then let's go, Zhou Xuan, I'll take you out of the house."

Zhou Xuan sat still: "It was still early, and it was not yet the second day. I want to listen to Sister Daoyun's flute playing again. When I entered the mountain room just now, I heard my sister playing. It sounds so nice."

Zhou Xuan has a special hobby for beautiful women playing flutes. When he saw the beautiful women holding a shakuba flute with their hands up and up, exhaling like orchids. The sound of the flute was whispering and after a song, he couldn't help but breathe shortness of breath, so his cheeks were flushed and his chest was undulating. It was so beautiful that if he thought of another thing, he would be even more distracted.

Fairy Jingyi did not refuse, but took a purple bamboo flute and played a song, which was the song "Red Bean Song".

Zhou Xuan got what he wanted and saw the chest undulating under Fairy Jingyi's Taoist robe, but because of the veil, he only saw his pointed chin, which looked a bit like Lin Hanyun, which was more beautiful and exquisite than Lin Hanyun.

Zhou Xuan shamelessly created another lyric song "Song of Zi Lingzhou". He used the harmonica to play the song, and he sang the lyrics, and Fairy Jingyi wrote them down one by one.

Before the second update was over, Zhou said when he left: "Thank you sister Daoyun, it was such a pleasant night."

Fairy Jingyi's happiness was beating in her heart, but she was always suppressed by something, and she said lightly: "Young Master Zhou comes when you have time, and the female saying is always there."

When sending Zhou Xuan out, Lin Hanyun said: "It was a really dull night, with no meaning at all."

Zhou Xuan felt a slight pain in his stomach and said, "No, I'm drunk too much cold water tonight, I'm afraid I'll have a stomachache. I have to go back quickly."
