Don’t be too poisonous to the concubine of the Wu family who was born in Wu

Chapter 3550 609. Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water (Yahe and Marquis Shangguan taste tea and discuss Taoism)

Not long after, a voice came from outside the door——

"The Second Prince has arrived——"

Yahe stood up slowly, and before opening the door, he glanced at the little fox cub on the dressing table, couldn't help but smile, and walked out the door in a hurry.

There was just a "squeak" sound, and the door opened. Shangguan Marquis had a dignified appearance and deep eyes. He was obviously only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he showed a maturity that should not be expected of his age.

"The second prince is here after all?"

Yahe smiled slightly, and there was actually a bit of pride in his smile.

Marquis Shangguan also smiled in response. He stepped in and motioned for the people behind him to close the door. He was calm and generous, obviously not taking Yahe's words to heart.

"The final word is enough to show that Young Master Yahe is sure of winning against this prince."

After walking into Yahe's room, the second prince subconsciously looked around the environment. Through the officialdom of a person's room, he would establish an overall impression of that person.

The room is filled with the fragrance of flowers. Various potted flowers are placed in the room. There are many Chinese works on the table, tea table and even on the wall, which has a unique style.

Seeing this, Shangguan Marquis couldn't help but flash a figure in his mind, that was his brother Shangguan Zhuhou.

For Marquis Shangguan, he has special admiration for those masters who can calm down, and he is also particularly wary of them.

What I admire is that these people are extremely scheming. Anyone who can calm down is someone who can use their brains to think about problems, and they are not ordinary people.

But even scheming people can quickly see through the essence of things. In the eyes of such people, they seem to be transparent.

Being with such a person will make you feel particularly uncomfortable, because you have lost from the beginning.

"It seems that Mr. Yahe is also an extremely elegant person. Look at the flowers all over the house, they are so beautiful and fragrant."

Yahe smiled slightly, then came over, walked to Shangguan Marquis, and said warmly——

"Only elegant people can understand elegant things. It seems that the second prince is also of the same mind. In the eyes of outsiders, these flowers are just playthings for people to enjoy. Only in the eyes of knowledgeable people, flowers are a kind of thing." A work of art.”

With that said, Yahe raised his hand to invite Marquis Shangguan into the tea bureau. He had prepared tea early and was waiting for Marquis Shangguan to arrive.

Marquis Shangguan glanced sideways at Yahe and said: "I am just a layman, and I don't know much about flowers and plants. It's just... my eldest brother likes flowers and plants. This has followed him. He has been hearing about it for a long time, so... I scratched the surface a little bit, but as far as my eldest brother is concerned, I can’t handle such flowers and plants at all.”

Yahe understood very well what Marquis Shangguan meant by saying this. It was a nod to himself. It is good to go with what suits you, but you must also be careful about who you choose.

Yahe still smiled and sat dignifiedly in front of the tea table. He poured the previously brewed scented tea into a cup and responded while pouring tea for Marquis Shangguan. "Yahe loves flowers, and has studied ikebana. He never thought that the eldest prince is also a member of the same profession. The last time he went to the villa, Yahe gained knowledge and co-authored the eldest prince's study of ikebana. The degree of liking for Yahe is just a small thing, and it is not worth mentioning at all. Yahe really fell in love with her by mistake. "

Yahe answered this question very artistically. It seemed that there was no deliberate explanation, but it was the best explanation.

"Please, Second Prince, this is scented tea specially prepared for you. I don't know if it will taste to the Second Prince's taste."

Shangguan Marquis couldn't find fault with the opponent for a while, so he could only follow the opponent's rhythm first.

He first glanced at Yahe, then slowly sat down, picked up the tea she had made, and just put it on the tip of his nose, a faint floral fragrance rushed into his nostrils, leaving an endless aftertaste.

Unable to resist the attraction of the aroma, Shangguan Marquis took a cup and drank it. After one sip, he felt refreshed.

"Huh? Pretty good, this is..."

Marquis Shangguan was immediately impressed by the aroma emanating from his mouth and asked out of curiosity.

"This is the scented tea I specially prepared for the Second Prince. It's called Qu Bing Xin."

"Go to Bingxin? Haha~ It's a very poetic name, but I don't know if the efficacy of this scented tea can bear such a good name."

"The second prince is indeed a very particular person. Since this scented tea is named Qu Bing Xin, it naturally has a deeper meaning."

"Then please tell me, Master, the profound meaning of this scented tea."

"The effect of this tea is to clear away heat and eliminate internal heat. It is made of the finest chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, green tea, jujube rings, and rock sugar. The chrysanthemum clears away heat and detoxifies. Boiling it in water can relieve liver fire; honeysuckle tea is cold in nature and cools the blood. , detoxify and dissipate heat, drink it in moderation, it can disperse heat and evil, detoxify and reduce swelling. It has certain effects on internal heat, exogenous wind-heat, upset and insomnia, etc. It can improve microcirculation, promote metabolism, moisturize and remove freckles."

Hearing this, Marquis Shangguan lowered his eyes, examined the tea cup with a faint smoke floating in his hand, and then took up what the other party said -

"There is no need to mention the efficacy of green tea. The tea is bitter and cold. It can reduce fire and relieve the poison of alcohol and food. It makes people feel refreshed and not lethargic or sleepy. This is the function of tea. Tea is the medicine for all kinds of diseases. , its taste is sweet and bitter, slightly cold in nature, and non-toxic. Its functions include lowering qi, removing phlegm, heat, and thirst, making people sleep less, eliminating food intake, promoting urination, and treating fistulas, etc. Later generations of doctors all adhere to its theory. Continuously explore the medicinal effects of tea."

Although Marquis Shangguan was not interested in ikebana, he had considerable insights into tea ceremony, and he could talk eloquently about things he was interested in.

"Tea first belongs to wood. Lu Yu incorporated the 'Five Elements' into the tea ceremony of 'sencha'. He believed that only the combination of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth can make good tea. The wind furnace used for sencha belongs to gold; the furnace standing on the drawing belongs to Earth; boiling water in the furnace belongs to water; charcoal under the furnace belongs to wood; using charcoal to make fire belongs to fire. These five elements complement each other and harmonize yin and yang, thus achieving the health-preserving purpose of tea. In modern tea-making technology, picking The green tea (belonging to wood) is 'cured' in a hot iron pot (belonging to metal), rolled and then roasted over a slow fire (belonging to fire) to become dry tea. 'Metal' overcomes 'wood', and is overcome by 'fire', so its properties change drastically. , thus making finished tea. The boiling water (belonging to water) and tea sets (belonging to earth) required to brew tea also belong to the five elements. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that a person's five elements are balanced and balanced, and they can strengthen their health. "

Hearing this, a smug smile appeared on Yahe's face, because this was his purpose, to use his own means to pry open the mouth of Shangguan Marquis and shorten the distance between himself and the other party.

Whether it's flowers or tea, they are all ways to attract the other person's attention. After achieving the goal, you can move forward with the next step of the work...
