Shanjian Academy

Chapter 41

The majestic Tiannan Mountains.

Mu Zhengyang wandered around the mountain for a long time with a medicine basket on his back, and found a cardamom fruit in a cold and damp ravine, and found a white lilac tree on the mountain south of the second peak, cut it by the wet stream. A small piece of green Maoxiang, and several auxiliary materials for making Dongpo Wensixiang have collected more than half of them.

However, the critical sandalwood was almost completely felled in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At present, most of them are imported from India, Thailand, Malaysia and other places. Even though Tiannan Mountain has a reputation as a natural medicine storehouse, the probability of finding natural sandalwood is very small.

Mu Zhengyang didn't find Zhantan, which was expected, and he didn't feel any disappointment in his heart. He also found more than a dozen wild osmanthus trees by accident.

It's the golden autumn season.

More than a dozen wild osmanthus trees are full of small yellow and white flowers, and a few colorful birds stop and chirp on the treetops. The mountain wind wandering in the forest is also infected with the fragrance of osmanthus, which can be smelled from a distance. See.

Mu Zhengyang thought of Yang Wanli's "Ode to Osmanthus", "It is not a human species, but it is moved from the middle of the moon. It has a little fragrance of Guanghan, and it blows all over the mountains."

Among the wine recipes deduced from the "Beishan Wine Classic", the core raw material of "Osmanthus wine" is sweet-scented osmanthus.

"Zhantan can be met but not sought after. Dongpo Wensixiang is far away, so let's make a pot of 'osmanthus wine' first!"

Mu Zhengyang did whatever he wanted in the mountains, doing whatever he thought of, and collected half a basket of sweet-scented osmanthus from the tree.

Back at Wangri Cliff Nanshan Academy, he started to brew sweet-scented osmanthus wine.

Mu Zhengyang got inspiration from the fragrance spectrum, and added some medicinal spices collected when brewing sweet-scented osmanthus wine.

the next day.

Sweet-scented osmanthus wine is made, and the fragrance floats for ten miles.

The villagers in Zhangshu Village under the cliff could smell the faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus, but since it was the season of sweet-scented osmanthus, no one paid attention to it.

"The name 'Osmanthus wine' is too vulgar, let's change it to 'Autumn Breeze'!"

"Autumn Wind Lai" brewed with sweet-scented osmanthus is sticky and sweet. Mu Zhengyang sat in the yard while reading "Qin Cao" and drinking "Autumn Wind Lai" from a small cup.

at this time.

There was an old man and a middle-aged monk in yellow robes walking on the road from Zhangshu Village to Wangri Cliff of Tiannan Mountain. The old man was Zhao Yushi who had visited yesterday, and the middle-aged monk was from the county seat of Xizhong County. Yuantong, the presiding officer of the Gate Temple of Tieshan Jinyu Lake.

Yuantong walks on the mountain road like a flat ground, but in addition to being the host of Tieshan Jinyu Lake Gate Temple, he is also a strong player in the calligraphy circle of Ze'an City, and even has the reputation of the best running script in Ze'an City. Except for a few big names in the calligraphy world, there is no one who can match him.

Zhao Yushi took two photos of Mu Zhengyang's "Bamboo and Stone" and "Drinking Wine" with his mobile phone yesterday, and sent them to the WeChat group of Ze'an City Calligraphers Association after returning home. Let's take a look, and Zhao Kangping, Qiu Dingli, Wang Ligang, Wu Jianguo and others are all busy with work, and they don't have time to accompany Zhao Yushi into the mountains again to find Mu Zhengyang, and they are happy to have Yuantong as a company.

"There seems to be a smell of sweet-scented osmanthus wine in the air!" Yuantong sniffed.

"Really, Mr. Mu is a master brewer. He must be brewing wine, but we are still at the foot of the mountain, but we can smell the aroma of the wine. When we go up the mountain, what kind of aroma will it be?"

Zhao Yushi also took a big sip, and said with a look of joy on his face.

"Haha, when we go up the mountain, we must ask for a glass of wine!" Yuantong patted his belly and laughed.

"Let's go!"

The smell of wine came from the mountain, indicating that Mu Zhengyang might be at home, and Zhao Yushi was full of energy.

Nanshan Academy.

Mu Zhengyang was drinking cup after cup in the yard. The sweet-scented osmanthus wine 'Autumn Breeze' adhered to Mu Zhengyang's consistent style. It was only a dozen degrees without distillation and purification, and there was no intoxicating feeling in the mouth.

It is said that Li Bai wrote hundreds of poems by drinking this wine, so literati all the time came to Chang'an to drink osmanthus thick wine exclusively.

Some students want to be poets. Every time they go to the hotel to drink and find inspiration, they will get drunk after three bowls, and they will be incoherent and unable to return.

Mu Zhengyang drank a little too much, felt a little bit over the top, and also had an urge to write. He spread a piece of snow-white rice paper on the long table, dipped his pen in ink and wrote down Li Bai's "Future Advance" liquor".

"If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and will never return. If you don't see it, the mirror in the high hall is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like blue silk and the evening is snow. Life is full of joy, don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon. I am born with my talent It will be useful, and it will come back when all the gold is gone. Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle is a pleasure, and you will have to drink three hundred cups at a time. Mr. Cen, Dan Qiusheng, will drink, and the cup will not stop..."

After finishing writing, I was exhausted, and threw the brush out of the academy.

Just as Zhao Yushi and Yuantong walked outside the gate of Nanshan Academy, an unknown object suddenly flew out from the academy.

Yuantong responded quickly and stretched out to hold the unknown object firmly in his hand, but a few drops of ink on the pen tip splashed onto his bare forehead.

"Haha, Master Yuantong, your posture is very handsome, but our country abolished the practice of spotting scars in the 80s!" Zhao Yushi joked.

"It's too fast to see clearly, who knows it's a pen..." Yuantong said awkwardly.

Mu Zhengyang heard the voices outside, opened the door of the academy, and saw the old man he rescued in Tiekou Lane that day, and a monk with a brush in his hand and a few ink dots on his head. He recognized that this pen was the one he had just lost.

"That... I'm really sorry. There are almost no people on my mountain all year round. I didn't expect such a coincidence to happen."

Seeing the monk's appearance, Mu Zhengyang immediately understood what happened just now, and apologized to Yuantong.

"It's okay, it's okay, you were practicing calligraphy just now?" Yuantong asked happily, breathing in the nearly substantial aroma of wine in the air.

"Just writing for fun, did you come to the mountain to look for me?"

Mu Zhengyang heard that this old man was the father of the magistrate of Xizhong County, but he had rejected their banquet at the beginning. At this time, the old man came up the mountain with a monk.

"It's good to see you. I'm the one you rescued in Tiekou Lane. I wanted to treat you to dinner and thank you in person. Unfortunately, my son didn't manage well. We went up the mountain together yesterday, but we couldn't see you." Mr. Mu, I finally saw you today! Here are some calligraphy and paintings from my collection, and I gave them to Mr. Mu to express my gratitude!"

Zhao Yushi originally planned to give Mu Zhengyang a few of his favorite works, but after seeing Mu Zhengyang's handwriting yesterday, it was difficult for him to take out his own proud works, so he treasured them for many years. Several famous calligraphy and paintings brought to me.
