Chapter 4 Meeting Zhang Yuanwai again(3/3)
Zhang Yuanwai suddenly felt that the quiet atmosphere was quite pleasant.
It seems that the fatigue from today's journey has dissipated with this cup of tea.
Rested for a while again.
Zhang Yuanwai looked at the repaired books in front of Ninghe's desk, looked at the names on the covers, and was about to take out the tea money.
Ning He did not stop writing or rejecting the call.
Although these spiritual teas cannot prolong life and eliminate disasters, they can still restore some physical strength.
Twelve bowls of spiritual tea, exchanged for twenty-four coins and a meal, is still fair.
Take the tea money.
Because Zhang Yuanwai had to rush to the next county or town before dark, he said goodbye and left.
Ning He saw them leaving and continued to repair the books.
And in officialdom.
After the convoy traveled five miles.
Zhang Yuanwai frowned and recalled the peaceful feeling just now, but suddenly said to the guard: "Did you feel a sense of purity when you were sipping tea at Mr.'s tea stall?"
"After hearing what the uncle said, I also discovered..." When the guard heard Zhang Yuanwai's inquiry, he nodded thoughtfully and said: "It seems that his heart suddenly became quiet?
Just like a carefree childhood?"
"Exactly." Zhang Yuanwai nodded and found that the feeling of purity seemed to be the same as when he was a child.
It's just that he has reached his forties and has long forgotten what this feeling is. It just feels quite pleasant.
Zhang Yuanwai thought to himself and recalled the tea, "Is it because of the tea leaves?"
"How could it be tea?" The guard touched the stubble on his chin and said, "I think it's because of my husband.
Just like when facing a county magistrate, my nephew feels that the magistrate is majestic and dare not speak loudly.
It was also like meeting my baby's private school teacher. I also felt that that gentleman was so talented that my nephew unconsciously wanted to imitate that private school teacher, no matter what he said.
It’s just that the way he learned it was completely different, which made the gentleman shake his head repeatedly.”
The guard leader said this and looked at Zhang Yuanwai.
When Zhang Yuanwai heard what the guard said, he seemed to think it made sense.
This peaceful feeling was infected by Mr. Ning.
So, he told the guard: "When I go to the city this time, I will leave the cargo to you first."
"Is there something wrong, uncle?" the guard asked curiously: "Uncle, are you going to find Mr. Jin Cao after entering the city?"
Zhang Yuanwai shook his head and said: "I'm going to go to some old bookstores to have a look.
Because I saw that Mr. Ning seemed to like to repair some old books, and I couldn't let go of the things I had been waiting for a few days, so I planned to collect some old books and give them to Mr. Ning when he comes back."
"How about my nephew go?" When the guard heard this, he volunteered: "I know a scholar in the city, and sometimes I ask him to bring some books to my baby.
I heard him say that he still had some miscellaneous old books from the previous dynasty, but the price given by the collector was too low, so he never sold them and asked me if I would accept them.
It seems to be a ten-article book, and the price is not expensive.
It’s just that I thought these were useless, so I didn’t respond.
When I arrive in the city in a few days, I will go find him again, collect these books, and ask him to take me to find some old bookstalls.
It’s better to have a scholar lead the way than to have a rough search like us.”
"Then I'll leave this matter to you." Zhang Yuanwai nodded, "I think your husband is also a tea lover. When you come back, we will go to Baiyunfang to buy some tea.
I have long heard that the tea in Baiyunfang in the city is good, so we take this opportunity to go there and have a taste."
"I guess uncle will be disappointed." The guard said with a smile: "A friend of mine in the city who loves tea has had it and said that the tea there is only second-rate in the city.
The main reason is that the owner of the teahouse takes people to the forest outside the city every day before dawn to collect dew and use it to make tea. He only sells a hundred cups a day, which makes this tea famous.
Just like us, all we earn is hard-earned money."
"So that's it." Zhang Yuanwai nodded silently, looked at the guard again, and said with great relief: "I'll leave the tea to you as well."
