Chapter 781 Watanabe's Invitation

The three murmured and discussed for a while, and finally settled on a plan.

So when Monk Riben went out, he heard someone chatting beside him, saying that the most authentic tea ceremony in the Song Dynasty was in Runzhou.The tea ceremony performance at Prince Jing's Mansion in the capital was learned from Mr. Du Jinning in Runzhou.

The method they adopted was to cast the net widely and focus on catching fish.

Because more than one Japanese monk came, and the monastery that placed the order was different, so this situation was repeated in several places.

Fearing that it might not be safe, Lu Jun and the others also prepared a set of combined punches, planning to use several prongs.If Monk Riben didn't hear it or didn't take it to heart, they have prepared several plans.

But they still underestimated Du Jinning's reputation in the tea ceremony circle.

Zhao Chang is a conscientious person. Although he promotes the tea ceremony in the capital, he keeps saying that it was invented by Du Jinning. "The Collection of Tea Ceremony" has a great influence. Anyone who likes tea ceremony will buy a copy and study it carefully. Du Jinning's article on it has played a finishing touch, and it is better than Zhao Chang's article. It explains the tea ceremony. More incisive and profound, so Du Jinning's reputation also spread with the spread of tea ceremony.

So when he heard the word Du Jinning, Monk Riben hurriedly asked the officials of Honglu Temple or the monks in the temple.

There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing, so everyone introduced the origin of the tea ceremony and Du Jinning's situation, and gave them a copy of "The Collection of Tea Ceremony".

Monk Riben was very interested and immediately said that he would go to Runzhou.

The monks who can travel to the Great Song Dynasty belong to the Yunshui monks.The word "clouds and water" in the Buddhist family, one means that the wandering monks are like clouds and flowing water, free and unobstructed; the other means that they are like clouds in the sky, like water in a bottle, living freely.

Since we pay attention to being free and unimpeded, it is natural to leave as soon as you say, without any worries.So after a few days, three Japanese monks came to Runzhou one after another, all looking for Du Jinning.

This time, Du Jinning did not push the matter to Lu Jiuyuan and the others, but personally received these monks, invited them to watch a few tea ceremony performances that she had come up with, and talked about some tea ceremony theories.

Du Jinning has been to Japan frequently in his previous life, and he knows the culture of Japan very well.The Buddhist culture was prosperous in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and she read a lot of Buddhist scriptures in the library. Now she has tried her best to make the three Japanese monks limping again.

"Lord Du, I wonder if you can go to our country to promote Buddhism and tea ceremony?" a Japanese monk asked.

This monk is Watanabe Yamano, who comes from a big temple in Kyoto, Japan. He is a well-known eminent monk in Japan, and his status is higher than the other two.

Based on his understanding of the official ranks of the Song Dynasty, it seems that Du Jinning's official rank is not high.He felt that if he made an invitation, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty would definitely give Riben a face and allow Du Jinning to visit Riben.

Du Jinning's goal was achieved, and he was secretly happy, but his face showed embarrassment: "I am an official of the Song Dynasty, how can I go to your country? I can only feel sorry for Master Watanabe."

Watanabe also knew that Du Jinning could not make decisions by himself, so he secretly made up his mind to raise this request with the officials of Honglu Temple after returning to the capital.

The three lived in Runzhou for a few more days.Du Jinning had already told everyone not to mention rice to them.When Watanabe Shanye and the others were in Runzhou, she didn't even go to Zhuangzi's small courtyard a few times, and only asked Aoki to take care of the seedlings according to her requirements, lest Watanabe and the others get their ideas on the rice seeds.

A few days later, Watanabe and others left Runzhou. After returning to the capital, they asked the officials of Honglu Temple to invite Du Jinning to give lectures in Japan.

　Probably because of the cold, this time the pain was particularly severe.Today I asked for leave from school for this reason.People are uncomfortable, and the state is particularly bad. I wanted to post a chapter of [-] words, but no matter how I typed it, it didn't feel right.That's all for today, I'm really sorry everyone.
