Forty, graceful maid
Forty, a graceful maid
The facts once again proved that Zhou Xuan's concerns were correct. In the evening, the four scammers returned to Zhou's mansion from the "Super Qiu Zhantang". There was a big leather bag on the mule's back, and it was filled with a lot of things.
Zhou Xuan asked: "Second, what's the big bag?"
Sizi said with a smug look: "There are all kinds of famous teas, such as small copper stoves for making tea, wood milling, silk joints, water tables, water bags, cups, tea cups, and all kinds of famous teas."
Zhou Xuanxin said, "Okay, you fourth brother, you really play this set for me. If my buddy wasn't good enough, I would have fallen into your trap." He said in surprise on the surface: "Didn't you say you didn't bring a tea set? Where did you buy this?"
The Sizi looked like he had a brilliant plan: "It's funny, will I buy tea sets temporarily? I travel around the world and spend my home everywhere. I carry these tea sets with me, otherwise how can I drink tea? Do I go to the teahouse to drink those unsavory teas?"
Zhou Xuan pretended to be frustrated and said, "The fourth brother, you are too cunning, you are so cunning! I, Zhou Xuan, think you are very wise, but I didn't expect that I would be at a disadvantage before I even started fighting."
The four fools were proud and said, "Forget it, I won't make things difficult for you if I win the tea fight. I'm still staying in the 'Super Qiu Zhan Hall' and then leave with my third brother after 'untouchable'. How about it? It's so kind."
Zhou Xuan laughed in his heart and said, "Fourth Brother, won't you join Beijing with me to participate in next year's Lantern Festival Chess Club? The top ten Protectorates of the Tang Kingdom recruited world-class Go masters. It's a pity if you can't participate in the top three-year chess battle!"
The Sizi said: "My third brother and I will naturally go to watch the battle at that time."
Zhou Xuan shook his head and said, "Watching the game is just a fun thing, so how can I enjoy myself on the stage?"
Sichi opened his eyes wide and asked, "What does this mean? How can I play in person?"
Zhou Xuan said: "The three chess players selected by the Fenghua Protectorate are me, Zhou Xuan, Gu Liuquan, Fu Yannian, Lin Dunian and Xu, considering that Fu Yannian's chess skills are weak, so I entrusted me to pay attention to another one. I originally thought about letting the fourth brother over, but it's a pity that you want to leave!"
The four cynical men opened their mouths and couldn't speak for a long time.
Sanchi spoke: "Master, let Jiannu take over. Jiannu had already swore that day and served the master for the rest of his life. Even if my fourth brother beats the master with tea, Jiannu will not leave."
The Siqi was anxious: "Third brother, why are you doing this? I worked hard to fight for freedom for you, but you said that I would not leave if I win, and I would still compete for chess quota with me!"
Zhou Xuan used a chess quota to make the two brothers turn against each other, which was very swaying to kill three soldiers. He laughed and said, "Since my sword slave is loyal, you don't need to fight tea. The fourth brother won the battle, it would be useless. Once you lose, you will become a tea slave, an insect slave, and a chess slave. Hehe, maybe this is exactly what the fourth brother wants."
The Siniang stared at his cousin, then stared at Zhou Xuan, and said angrily: "Tea must be fought, but since my third brother is willing to be a slave, I can't control it anymore. The bet has to be changed. I won. As one of the three chess players in the Fenghua Protectorate's Mansion, I will participate in next year's chess battle. If I lose, I will be a slave and a servant, and I will follow the emperor."
Zhou Xuan has this ability to guide the progress of the gambling game and make the situation more and more beneficial to him. You see, he is now sure to win and not lose. The three fools who are famous all over the world must fall into his hands. The more things you are obsessed with, the easier it is to deal with. The four fools are easier to deal with than the three fools, as long as they can hold on to his vitals.
Zhou Xuan said: "The fourth brother, you are so treacherous. Wouldn't you win or lose like this? You have become my tea slave and a chess slave. I still have to find a way to let you participate in the chess battle of the top ten chess battles in the tea battle. This is the result if you lose, and this is the result if you lose. How can you win?"
The Sichi said: "That's different. If I win, I am free and not bound by you. If I lose, I will be like my third brother who will be a slave for life."
Zhou Xuan retorted: "Why is your third brother not free? As long as he does not harm my interests, he should do whatever he should do. He is very free. Look at him fighting insects all day long, playing chess, and being at ease, but not as strong as before. The so-called master and servant are just a status. When did I treat him like a slave, I am respectful."
Sanchi said respectfully: "Master is right. Fourth brother, you should serve Master with Brother Yu. These days, Brother Yu has seen you have been much happier. In Hongzhou, you always smile all day long."
Sichi stared at his eyes, and it was clear that black and white: "Third Brother, you are accomplice for the tiger! I am not happy at all, I am angry when I see Zhou Xuan."
Zhou Xuan said: "Fourth brother, you are stubborn and happy, and you are unwilling to admit it. Since this is the case, then the tea room will see the best. I will defeat you in your proud tea ceremony, save you from the miserable world, and live a happy life from now on. Oh, my mind is so broad!"
Zhou Xuan, the three cynical and four cynical, took a horse and mule out of the west gate, crossed the small bridge, and came outside Baiyun Temple. The four cynical said sarcastically: "Zhou Xuan, have you chosen the place for tea fighting in this female Taoist temple? Have you arranged it long ago?"
Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "Of course there must be arrangements, specifically to ask you to fall into the trap."
Sichi sneered: "Tea fighting is not fighting insects, it is useless if you even eat Xiaomi pills."
Lin Hanyun was waiting in front of the Guanmen. Seeing these two great killers accompanying Zhou Xuan, one on the left and one on the right. Although they had seen a lot these days, the legend of their murder in their minds could not be eliminated. They were still a little scared and did not dare to speak much, leading the three of them to the Qing Dynasty temple on the side of the Sanqing Hall.
Zhou Xuan said: "The owner of Baiyun Temple is my distant aunt, so he uses this elegant place to make tea. There are ready-made tea sets and famous springs in various places that can be stored. The fourth brother can show off his skills."
The four of them entered the tea room. Fairy Jingyi, dressed in maid, stepped forward to salute and said, "Young Master". She was still covered with a veil.
Zhou Xuan's feet were stuck and his eyes were a little straight. Fairy Jingyi used to have simple chessboards or apricot yellow Taoist robe. Today, to dress up as a maid, she wore a green onion dress and a long silk scarf with tender lotus color. She walked with grace and graceful posture, and her hairstyle was not a simple Taoist bun. She combed it into a pretty fallen horse bun, making her look even more gentle and graceful, like a fairy.
Sichi put down the big leather bag in his hand, looked at Fairy Jingyi and asked Zhou Xuan: "Who is this woman?"
Zhou Xuan said: "It is my maid Yunyi, who also loves tea ceremony. I often give her advice on tea. Today, she is my girl tea boy, fanning the flames and pouring water to serve tea. The fourth brother, do you want me to find a tea boy for you too?"
Lin Hanyun, on the other hand, secretly scolded Zhou Xuan for being shameless and gave his sister Yunyi's name, and said that it was rare that his sister was so thick-skinned that she was learning tea ceremony from him.
Sichi looked at Fairy Jingyi again and shook his head and said, "I don't need any beautiful girls to serve tea. Tea ceremony emphasizes clear thoughts. Beauty will affect the tea art and chess skills, so I hate beauty the most in my life."
Zhou Xuan thought to himself: "Can you really practice the "Sunflower Book"?" He smiled and said: "Before fighting tea, I will tell you a little Zen story--"
When Lin Hanyun heard that Zhou Xuan was going to tell a story, he immediately pricked up his ears and heard Zhou Xuan say:
"The two monks and a beauty crossed the river. There was no bridge, so the water had to flow over. The beauty asked the monk to carry her across the river. Monk B refused to carry her and said that she could not get close to the female. Monk A did not say anything and she carried her back and drifted over. The beauty thanked Monk A and each set off on his own. Monk B walked for a long time and accused Monk A of not being strong in Zen and getting close to the female. Monk A said that he let go after crossing the river, but Monk B still kept thinking about it - Mr. Fourth is that Monk B."
Lin Hanyun covered her mouth and smiled.
The Siqi said angrily: "I am Monk B, you are the Monk A who is good at getting a bargain."
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, the fourth brother, you just said that the tea ceremony is about Cheng Xinche. Why is he so angry? Do you want to make tea with your mouth?"
The Siniang said loudly: "Let's talk less, start fighting tea. The nine difficulties of tea are the five stages. They are distinguishing the creation of tea, identifying the taste of water, how fast the tea is, how high the color of tea is, and finally drinking - tasting the taste of tea. You have to tell what kind of tea is and what water is used to make tea?"
Zhou Xuan said: "Okay, come on one thing, first identify the tea making."
To distinguish tea from the eyes and nose, you should tell what kind of tea is, and when it is picked?
The Siqi untied his great leather bag, took out six fist-sized pots from it, and arranged them on several tables, saying, "Zhou Xuan, I have six famous teas, you can identify them first."
Zhou Xuan knelt straight on his back and said carelessly: "Yunyi, take the pottery jar one by one, and wait for me to identify it."
Fairy Jingyi stepped forward, picked up the first pot with her jade hand and turned around and walked towards Zhou Xuan. She quietly uncovered the lid, took a look, sniffed it, and raised her little finger when she handed the pot to Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan stared at Fairy Jingyi's little finger, which was as white as a freshly peeled onion tube, until she retracted her fingers, then raised her head, pretended to look and smell, and then said, "Jianzhou March Beiyuan Tea."
Sichi nodded and said, "Beiyuan tea is easy to distinguish, so let's distinguish it again."
Fairy Jingyi went to bring in the second jar of tea and raised her white and tender middle finger.
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Changzhou Yangxian Tea in April."
The four fools don't speak.
Fairy Jingyi went to pick up the third can, the fourth can, and the fifth can, and Zhou Xuan mentioned the origin of the tea and the month of picking.
The four fools looked ugly.
