Chapter 51 Tea in the Bamboo House

"Sir, is there anything wrong with the little girl's face?" Although Song Qingshu was rude because he kept staring at her face, the woman in green clothes was not angry, but chuckled lightly.

"Uh, I'm being rude." Song Qingshu, who had woken up, shook his head, bent down and apologized, "Just because I saw the girl's beauty, I felt like she was an orchid in the empty valley, and I was in a trance for a moment. It's rude to invite the girl.

Forgive me."

"Okay, you don't need to be polite, sir." The woman in green shook her head and signaled to Song Qingshu that he didn't need to be polite, "In the deep mountains, it's often hard to see a single person for several months. It's rare for the gentleman to visit me tonight. It's really an unexpected surprise."

"Haha, I'm staying in the mountains for the night. I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet the girl and hear the beautiful flute sound. It's really a worthwhile trip." Song Qingshu said with a smile.

"Master, please sit down. There is nothing to entertain you in the deep mountains, only a cup of tea." The woman in green clothes made a cup of tea for Song Qingshu and said, "Please!"

"Thank you!" Song Qingshu was not polite. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip gently. A bitter taste suddenly filled his taste buds. He frowned slightly and took a second sip.

The feeling immediately changed. The previous bitterness seemed to have become sweeter. After finishing the third sip, Song Qingshu could only feel the lingering fragrance between his lips and teeth. He couldn't help but close his eyes and experience it carefully.

Song Qingshu was a layman in his previous life. He never liked drinking tea and only loved carbonated drinks. Even now, he doesn't like drinking tea. Today, he drank it for the beauty. He didn't want to leave a bad impression in front of the beauty, but he didn't

Thinking that today I can drink three flavors in a small cup of tea, I used to often hear people lament that tea is like life. At that time, Song Qingshu didn't understand it and sneered at it, but now he felt it, with the first sip of tea

The bitter taste in the mouth reminds me of the setbacks I encountered just after leaving college in my previous life, as well as the difficulties of practicing martial arts in this life. Isn't my mood at that time very similar to this sip of tea?

The second sip of tea turned out to be sweet and delicious, which is quite similar to my own experience. In my previous life, since I quit my job and started my own company, everything went smoothly. But in this life, when I practice martial arts, every time I make a breakthrough,

, that kind of joy cannot be described in words.

After three sips, only a faint lingering fragrance was left. Doesn't it mean that the prosperity of the world has faded away? Is it true that it is dull? Although it is not possible to understand this meaning now, Song Qingshu's mood became much duller at this moment. The feeling in his heart in the past

The depressing and dusty mood seems to be less intense. It seems to be as ethereal and quiet as this valley.

When Song Qingshu opened his eyes, he saw the woman in green looking at him with a smile.

"Sir, how are you?"

"After living for more than ten years, it's only today that I understand what tea tasting is." Song Qingshu shook his head and said.

"To be honest, what I called tea drinking in the past was totally bullshit. Today, I didn't want to be rude in front of the girl, but I didn't expect that I tasted tea as if it were life. It's true that 'if you plant flowers with intention, they will not blossom, but if you plant willows with willows, they will shade'."

"

Song Qingshu is not afraid of exposing his shortcomings. If you don’t understand, you just don’t understand. There is nothing to be embarrassed about.

"Oh, the tea ceremony has been around for a long time. Most people can't taste it once or twice. My master is very perceptive. After just one cup, I understand what tea is like life. Can you tell me about it?"

The woman in green clothes smiled, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.

"Uh?" Song Qingshu was choked and smiled bitterly, "Young lady, you're just kidding me."

"Now, there are only two of us in the valley, so what's the harm in talking, young master? It's just to relieve our boredom." The woman in green chuckled.

"Since the girl said that, I have no choice but to take the risk and ask the girl for advice if I don't do anything right." Song Qingshu shook his head and said with a bitter smile.

After Song Qingshu thought hard in his heart, he said, "Liu Zhenliang of the Tang Dynasty clearly stated in "Ten Virtues of Drinking Tea": 'Tea can be used to practice morality, and tea can be used to cultivate elegance.'"

"The ancients paid attention to the beauty of the five realms when drinking tea, namely tea leaves, tea water, heat, tea sets, and environment, as well as emotional conditions and other conditions, in order to achieve the highest enjoyment of "taste" and "heart"."

"At the same time, tasting tea also pays attention to the spirit of the tea ceremony and tea ethics. That is, "honesty, beauty, harmony, and respect."

"Tasting tea must also follow certain rules. In the Tang Dynasty, in order to overcome nine difficulties, they made, separate, utensils, fire, water, broiled, minced, boiled, and drank. In the Song Dynasty, there were three points and three no points for tea tasting, "Three points"

"Dian" means new tea, sweet spring, clean utensils are one, good weather is one, elegant and refined people are one, and good guests with similar smells are one; otherwise, it is "three no points"."

"I have read a sentence before, which seems to be able to contain the essence of tea, that is, "Brew a pot of fragrant tea that has been nurtured by the eternal beauty of the three mountains and five mountains, and ignited a pillar of dense Zen Buddha nature to calm the mind and calm the mind.

"The soulful sandalwood", three or five friends sat and discussed, "This life is enough. This is my personal opinion, which made the girl laugh."

Song Qingshu searched his guts and racked his brains, integrated some of the knowledge about tea tasting in his memory, and then said it out, and then let out a long breath.

What Song Qingshu didn't see was that when he was telling his story, a strange look flashed in the eyes of the woman in green.

"I didn't expect that the young master actually has such a profound understanding of the tea ceremony. The little girl is so generous." The woman in green said with a smile, "I brewed a pot of fragrant tea with the eternal bells and graces of the three mountains and five mountains that nurtured creation, and lit a pillar of dense Zen machine.

"Buddha's nature is the sandalwood that soothes the mind and calms the soul." Three or five friends sit and talk about the Tao. This life is enough. The master's words are so mysterious that one sentence can reveal the essence of tea. "

"Young lady, you deserve the prize, but you are just knowledgeable and knowledgeable." Song Qingshu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I am trying to do everything in front of the girl to make her laugh."

The woman in green shook her head and said nothing more. Instead, she asked, "Young lady, I haven't asked you for your surname yet."

"I'm Wudang Song Qingshu." Song Qingshu said with cupped hands. The reason why Song Qingshu added the word Wudang in front of him when he introduced himself was because he saw the long sword on the table of the woman in green and felt that the woman was no weaker than his uncles.

Although I don’t know why women are not well-known in the world, since they are members of the same profession, they naturally want to report it to the family.

"Wudang Song Qingshu?" A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the woman in green. She obviously did not expect that Song Qingshu would appear here, "I didn't expect that the young master is actually Song Qingshu, Song Shaoxia, the third generation disciple of the Wudang sect. I'm sorry, little girl."
