Chapter 237 Qin Wangzhuang Tea Ceremony

Sure enough, once others think you are a good person, they will think of you no matter what you do.

Because the seven daughters are the future concubines of Qin Wang, they don't think that Qin Wang has lost his aristocratic dignity. Instead, they think that His Highness Qin Wang is busy with state affairs and has no time to enjoy delicious meals.

The cake is extremely delicious, whether there is cream or not will not affect the deliciousness of the cake.

What's more, the cakes made by Qin Wangzhuang are not the simplest whole eggs, but very technical egg-divided cakes. Just the powdered sugar alone, the cook was amazed when he first saw it.

After the seven girls actually went to eat the cake, their faces were no better than Wu Zhao's.

After all, he was still a child, and he would go to grab the last piece of cake. When he found Li Yuanxing watching them, he pretended to be dignified and smiled awkwardly.Li Yuanxing didn't laugh, why did he force some girls who were still children to become noble ladies who had to always pay attention to their words and deeds.

Breakfast is easy, DIY and fun to eat yourself.

By the time Li Yuanxing had breakfast and came to the living room of the conference, all the guests had already arrived.

Li Yuan was wearing a casual dress!

dress!Li Yuanxing was stunned for a moment, he never thought that Li Yuan would wear a dress, why would he wear a dress?

Observing the others again, Li Yuanxing was really taken aback.

Everyone who is qualified to sit in this hall is wearing a dress. Wang Jishan, Cui Junsu, Liu Zhenghui, and a well-known scholar Yao Silian all wear a Confucian dress. The style of this dress is definitely an authentic Hanfu.Great Confucians, there is only one exception, and that is Yu Shinan, who is wearing a set of academic uniforms.

The biggest difference between this kind of bachelor's uniform and the Confucian dress is that the clothes are more like the clothes of the Spring and Autumn Period.

In Li Yuanxing's words, that sleeve can hold a person, and definitely let that person carry luggage.

Seeing Li Yuanxing coming in, Yu Shinan straightened up and gave a salute, and then flung his wide sleeves with both hands. The two sleeves were spread out behind him for a full five feet long. These sleeves alone are more than enough to make a suit of clothes for a poor family. .

After saluting with the great Confucians one by one, the next step is Taoism.

The six respectable Taoist priests headed by Yuan Tiangang wore identical Taoist robes. Yuan Tiangang was obviously a wealthy Taoist priest, and his Taoist temple was completely made of silk, while Sun Laodao's was made of linen, but the style was the same.

Next, there are some dignified officials in the DPRK.

Then, there is the class of tea merchants. No matter how rich the tea merchants are, they are still the lowest class here.

Cui Yiye has been following Li Yuanxing, when Li Yuanxing returned to his seat, Cui Yiye said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the abbots of several famous Buddhist temples in Chang'an have also come, but they are not allowed to enter unless they have received an invitation. They asked to also participate in this tea ceremony!"

Li Yuanxing was stunned for a moment, and the monks came.

When it comes to tea, the monks are really good at playing, and what they say about Zen rituals is very good.And according to historical records, many famous teas were first planted and fried by monks.

Li Yuanxing didn't answer immediately, and signaled Cui Yiye to prepare for the tea party first, and then talk about the monk's affairs after the meeting.

"This king is not the protagonist today. The way is in the heart, and there is a way in the heart. Everyone has their own way. This king believes that keeping the heart is the way. Don't impose your way on others. This is the right way. Tea This is the way of cultivating the mind, not the way of fighting the mind. Today, it can be contested, debated, tasted, learned, and appreciated. Ask the tea ceremony with courtesy, virtue, and heart."

Li Yuanxing was a little proud of fooling around, and his ability to fool him was improved.

After finishing speaking, Li Yuanxing was very satisfied with his speech.

Yuan Tiangang was naturally the first to support Li Yuanxing, because Li Yuanxing was talking about Taoism, and those monks were still outside the door. Just because of this, Yuan Tiangang was in a very good mood.

"Today, a cup of tea." Li Yuanxing pointed to the row of long tables: "Each box is different, and there is a note under each box that writes the king's knowledge of some teas. Appreciate first. It's not too late to open the note."

A maid picked up the wooden box, and then picked up the note for everyone to see.

Li Yuanxing went on to say: "Second theory of art! Naturally, tea ceremony has tea art and tea ceremony. As I said just now, Dao Xin is natural. I believe that everyone here also has their own tea ceremony."

Everyone said yes, and called King Qin wise.

"Three arguments! When it comes to tea sets, what is the best? I don't think there is any best, only better, or what is my favorite, or it may be the most suitable." Li Yuanxing nodded slightly after speaking. Nodding, Cui Yiye stood up and shouted loudly: "Bring up the tea set!"

lift!Cui Yiye used the word "raise", which surprised everyone.

In fact, it is lifting.

A dozen tall wooden frames were first brought in by servants, and then servants carried boxes one by one.Finally the maid came in and opened the case, and put hundreds of different sets of pots, cups, cups, bowls, etc. on the shelves.

It can be said that many of these tea sets were bought from the street market in Chang'an City.Only a few sets were brought by Li Yuanxing from modern times, but more were fired by porcelain craftsmen in Qinwangzhuang according to Li Yuanxing's request.

Li Yuanxing picked up one of them while the maids were laying it out: "The king likes this pot very much." Li Yuanxing slowly raised his hand to let everyone see that this pot is a bamboo-jointed pot, a purple sand bamboo-jointed pot , Li Yuanxing continued: "The reason why I like it is that this purple sand is the best among tea sets."

The wind blows with laughter, and the rain is as clean as washing.

Sometimes the bright moon comes, playing shadows in the high windows.

Li Yuanxing also pirated a poem from later generations. The main reason for picking this passage was that it was short, with only twenty characters, so it was easy to memorize.

"Bamboo, bamboo is proud." Li Yuanxing put down the pot with a smile. "There is a way in tea, there are thousands of ways, and all ways are unified. Please!"

After speaking, Li Yuanxing took a few steps back and stood beside Li Yuan.

Whether Li Yuanxing's poems are good or bad, there will be no praise or evaluation.It's just because Li Yuanxing is the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Yuanxing is notorious for not listening to those false flattery.Good or bad, there will naturally be reviews.Great Confucians don't know how to comment, and tea merchants have the slightest qualifications.

Li Yuanxing had signaled to start, but everyone sat still.

Li Yuanxing stood beside Li Yuan with a smile on his face, but he wondered why Li Yuan was dressed so formally today.And the attitude is so serious.

"Father, is this interesting?" Li Yuanxing thought about coming. If it was boring, Li Yuan probably wouldn't come.

Li Yuan replied in a low voice: "Wulang, the royal family should have a royal aura. Yesterday I learned a brilliant idea from you. Swordsmen have the power of swords and soldiers. This is the power of anger. But your tea has another kind of power, the power of power." Prestige. The royal family wants all people to admire it, but this kind of prestige is a good thing!"

Li Yuanxing was very surprised.

This is the person who has really been an emperor, a word like the power of the royal family.

The royal family should have a royal demeanor, just putting on the several miles long guard of honor is just the appearance, Li Yuan has already seen the inner meaning.The tea ceremony is a kind of connotation, so Li Yuan is so solemn.

Think about it, how can ordinary people drinking water in a big bowl compare with the royal family's full-bodied tea.

When Li Yuan and Li Yuanxing were talking, it was you who pushed me to give way.Yuan Tiangang, Wang Jishan, Yu Shinan, and Yao Silian are all qualified to show the tea ceremony in their hearts first.If you push it down, there are at least a dozen people with sufficient status, but these four people represent different circles.

Taoism, gentry, sages, Confucianism.

Yesterday was tea made by Wu Zhao, Cui Shuli had described it, and the four of them were astonished after hearing it, but it's a pity that they can't ask Mingyue Gong to make tea for everyone again today.

At the end of the day, Cui Shuli was chosen, and he was No. 1 according to Wu Zhao's method yesterday.

There were six of them, naturally the four who gave way, and the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan.Here, the tea merchants are naturally not qualified, but there have been some disputes secretly about the sixth place. Although the officials are giving way, they all want to sit on the sixth place.

Li Yuan finally opened his mouth and nodded to Xiao Yu.

After all, he is a veteran, but also a great scholar, a great Confucian, and is also proficient in other schools of thought.

Since Li Yuan had chosen, the others naturally had nothing to say.But it is also a courtesy to sit here, from the left or the right.Is it to salute first and then sit down, or to sit first and then salute.Do you salute the tea maker first, or salute the venerable first.Should I sit on this kind of desk and chair, or should I use a few soft cushions.According to the ancient etiquette, how should the direction of this seat be placed, where is the upper seat, and where is the second seat.

This has not yet sat down, and it has already started a tepid debate citing classics.

Li Yuanxing took a few steps back, and beckoned Cui Yiye over: "Continue to say, if the Buddhist family came without an invitation, it would be an evil guest. Who ordered this invitation, and why?"

"Return to Your Highness, Cui Changshi made it."

Li Yuanxing understood that it was because of Yaozhou's affairs, and Cui Dunli was afraid that Li Yuanxing would be unhappy seeing the monk.

"Wait a while, you ask Cui Changshi, this king wants the Buddhist sect to come to the tea party tomorrow, but I still have to block them today. How to deal with it. The reason must be sufficient, so that the Buddhist sect will not have any extra thoughts. Understand ?"

"I understand?" Cui Yiye nodded, and then said: "Just now, when His Highness was speaking, the back hall came to report. General Li came back from Lingzhou and asked to see His Highness. General Qin Qiong sent a messenger. He has some official business. To deal with it, we can only arrive at Qinwangzhuang in the afternoon today."

After hearing Cui Yiye's report, Li Yuanxing nodded slightly: "Take care of this place, don't mess it up."

Li Yuanxing left quietly, but no one noticed him leaving, and everyone's attention was focused on the debate at that table.Others were also arguing. Some of the tea merchants who were qualified to enter the hall were listening very carefully, and some were even recording.There are also a few well-learned ones who occasionally offer a few thoughts and opinions of their own.

Not eligible to enter the hall, the tea merchants and officials outside all tried to get as close to the hall door as possible, hoping to see and hear more. (To be continued.)
