Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 927 The first tea is going to be poured out [Ask for a ticket! 】

Feng An has the right to show off in front of him.

Fang Jun bowed slightly, cupped his fists and saluted: "Junior Fang Jun, I have met Duke Yue."

Feng An straightened his back, he was more polite this time, and he stretched out his hand to signal: "Sit down, there is no need to be polite."

Fang Jun smiled and said: "Courtesy cannot be discarded, and it is not surprising that there are many people who are polite."

Feng An is tall and has broad shoulders. Even if he is kneeling there, he still looks like Yuan Yuan and Yue Zhi, exuding a majestic and domineering spirit.

Hearing this, Feng An looked indifferent, and just stretched out his hand to stroke the white and neat beard under his chin: "There is so much hypocrisy in etiquette. How do you know that you are polite and respectful, but you are scolding others for relying on the old and selling the old?"

This old man is quite interesting.

Fang Jun knelt down in front of Feng An.

Well, I really hate sitting on my knees...

I complained in my heart, but there was a respectful smile on my face: "If there is an old man in a family, if there is a treasure, when an old person is old, he probably has seen the world, knows how to advance and retreat, and knows how to choose, but it is not comparable to us young boys. "

Feng An laughed when he heard this.

When he smiled, the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, and two shallow nasolabial folds appeared at both ends of his nose. Not only did he not feel the slightest smile, but he felt a creepy sense of crisis.

It's like facing a hungry lone wolf...

"But there is another saying, old age is a thief!" Feng An looked at Fang Jun and said.

Yuan Rang, an old friend of Confucius, sat with his legs apart and waited for Confucius. Confucius scolded him and said, "When you were young, you didn't respect filial piety. When you grow up, you don't have any achievements to speak of. If you grow old and don't die, you are really a pest." .” As he spoke, he tapped his calf with a cane, blaming him for his disrespect, being old and immoral.

Why was Confucius taught me a lesson when I spread my legs apart?
The ancients sat on their feet with their knees on the ground, which is similar to kneeling, but the kneeler is straight and his hips do not reach his ankles.If the soles of the feet are on the ground, the buttocks hang back, and the knees are raised in front, it is called squatting, which is also called squatting.Sitting on the ground with buttocks, stretching both feet forward, shaped like a skip, it is called skipping.Han people sit on their knees, while barbarians squat down.

So Confucius looked down on Yuan Rang and called him immoral...

Fang Jun would also read popular classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics in his spare time. After all, he bears the name of a "literary hero". ?

So he still understands the meaning of this sentence.

Then he laughed and said: "The rich take the ability to give as the virtue, the poor take the lack of seeking as the virtue, the noble takes the inhumanity as the virtue, and the humble takes the forgetfulness as the virtue." With virtue and no virtue, you know yourself in your heart, but seek to look up to the world. And do you care about the praise and slander of the world?"

This is a famous sentence by Lu Kun in the Ming Dynasty.

Rich people should regard generosity as a virtue, poor people should regard wanting nothing as a virtue; noble people should regard respect to the virtuous and corporal as a virtue, and low-status people should regard contempt for the powerful as a virtue.

Whether a person is virtuous or not, it's not someone else saying it, you know it clearly in your heart...

Feng An's long eyebrows moved slightly, and he stared at Fang Jun in surprise.

Ever since Fang Jun entered the room, Feng An had completely suppressed his momentum, and he wanted to take an advantage of his upcoming conversation.Unexpectedly, this young and powerful young man who is not too old has always looked calm and indifferent, and has been refusing Feng An's words in a subtle way, especially the last sentence is a bit of a warning to the world. How can Feng Ang not be surprised?

The most important thing is the phrase "know how to advance and retreat, and know how to choose". He doesn't think it was Fang Jun who said it unintentionally, or the attitude that His Majesty or Fang Xuanling accidentally leaked?If this is the case, it will be serious.

There is nothing in vain under the prestigious name, but I still underestimated the number one favorite of His Majesty...

After a little probing, Feng An knew that Fang Jun should not be underestimated, and his attitude would naturally change.

The boiling water in the copper pot was gurgling and steaming. Feng An stretched out his hand to lift the copper pot, declined Fang Jun's offer to do it for him, and said with a smile: "I got some top-quality Longjing from my old friend. I can't wait to see it. If you want to try it, you have to throw an ax in front of Erlang."

Longjing was created by Fang Jun. In front of him and Longjing, it is really "hands-on-hand"...

But Fang Jun was not surprised by this, but by Feng An's words.

Just got the best Longjing from an old friend?
People with Feng An's status are like high-ranking officials of later generations. They have too many interests involved, and their every move will be infinitely magnified. Therefore, when facing subordinates or colleagues, no word is nonsense. Every word has a special meaning.

Feng An's words were definitely not casual, because the output of the best Longjing is very rare. On the one hand, it is because the production method is complicated, and on the other hand, it is also Fang Jun's method to improve the quality of Longjing.

And Fang Jun gave Zhang Zhongjian two catties of tea just a few days ago...

But didn't Zhang Zhongjian say that he had a rift with Feng Ansu?He would rather go to Lin Yiguo but ask for weapons and armor instead of Feng An, so why did he turn around and give Feng An the Longjing tea "blackmailed" from Fang Jun?

There is a story in it...

Feng An obviously likes to drink tea, and he is very skillful in making tea, but probably he has never seen the real way of drinking green tea, and it is still similar to the procedure of drinking "tea soup" in the past.

Watching Feng An pour the tea directly into two crystal clear white jade teacups, Fang Jun raised his eyebrows, hesitant to speak.

Because Feng An had already taken a sip, and as he savored it, he praised: "Drinking tea like this is like tasting all the flavors of life. The fragrance is timeless in the ordinary, and the aftertaste is endless. Erlang is indeed a gift from heaven to Datang."

You didn't ask me to drink tea, did you?
From the moment he entered the door, Lao Feng's words were clouded and kept probing. Fang Jun didn't want to continue probing like this. He cut to the point: "The Duke of Yue summoned this junior. If there is anything you need this junior to do, please do it. See you."

Feng An chuckled: "What's the matter? It's just that I reunited with an old friend I haven't seen for many years, and I sighed in my heart that life is too short to pass by. In a blink of an eye, it is yesterday's yellow flowers and blue threads. Lin Yiguo bought two seaports, and got the promise of Linyi Kingdom to garrison troops and collect commercial taxes. I really sighed that a new generation replaced the old ones! Back then, the old man coveted Linyi Kingdom, but in the end he never sent a single soldier. It is a pity in my life. Therefore, when I heard that my slave told Erlang to lead the fleet to arrive here, I wanted to meet you, a young hero!"

Fang Jun grinned, and smiled shyly: "Hehe, Duke Yue made me laugh. It must be because meeting is not as famous as it is?"

Old man, why are you making fun of me?

Feng An, the "King of Lingnan" who is in charge of Lingnan, has nothing to do and called me to see what he looks like?

Feng Ang laughed heartily: "No, meeting is far better than being famous! Youthful spirit, scolding Fang Qiu, opening up borders outside the territory, is a hundred times better than the old man! If you are 30 years younger, the old man will definitely not let Erlang you specialize in beauty In the past, I will definitely compete with you! It is a pity that the years of ruthless ambition have faded away, and the pride of the past is no longer..."

When it comes to the later, it is too embarrassing, full of the sentimentality and helplessness of the hero's twilight and old age.Back in the day, this man was also a gold-armed iron horse, a hero who occupied the south of the Five Ridges like a tiger roaring and a dragon singing!
It's a pity that I'm old and frail now, I'm afraid I can't ride a horse, lift a spear, or draw a bow. All my ambitions have been washed away by the passing years, and only this old and weak body is left, tasting green tea and remembering With the glory of the past...

Fang Junsu said: "Why did the Duke of Yue say this? Your life is a role model that our younger generations admire and yearn for! Being able to guard Lingnan with your own strength has saved countless people in Lingnan from the torment of war, and every family lives in peace. , Every household is happy, isn't such a meritorious service several times better than opening up the territory?"

These words really come from the heart.

Regardless of how much desire Feng An had in his heart to separate the territory and become king, he never took that step from the beginning to the end, so that the land of Lingnan was able to settle down in the turbulent years at the end of the year without being greatly affected. This is the supreme feat!

Then again, who doesn't have desire?
If a hero with 10,000+ generals in several states in the south of the Five Ridges didn't have the slightest bit of ambition in the late Sui Dynasty when all the heroes were fighting everywhere, it would be abnormal!
And Feng Ang only attached to Lin Shihong for a few years, and immediately saw the situation out of order, accepted Li Jing's appeal, and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Since then, Lingnan has become more stable and prosperous, and Feng Ang has contributed a lot.

"Hahaha... To be praised so much by Fang Erlang, the proud son of today's scholars and a hero in the literary world, this old man's life will be a final conclusion. What regrets does he have when he dies? Come and drink tea!"

Not only was he genuinely happy and confused, but Feng An acted very happy, and even gave Fang Jun a top hat.

How could it be Fang Jun's turn to comment on Feng An's merits and demerits in his life?

Fang Jun looked at the teacup that Feng An pushed to his eyes with his own hands, his expression tangled.

Feng An was slightly taken aback: "Why don't you drink?"

Fang Jun pondered for a while, staring at the crystal clear white jade teacup: "Even the best tea leaves are roasted by hand, and there will inevitably be debris and dust contamination during the process, so as long as the tea leaves are roasted, the first brewing is not difficult. It's going to fall..."

What he said was a bit tangled, and he really didn't want to add trouble to Feng An, let alone watch an old man who loves tea ceremony get hurt.After all, drinking bubble tea all the time, this is really not a pleasant thing...

*****
After Fang Jun left for a long time, Feng An still knelt and sat there with an uncertain face.

An old man with the appearance of a servant came in with bowed waist and light feet, put a small porcelain jar on the coffee table in front of Feng An, and said in a low voice: "Patriarch, Marquis Huating has already boarded the ship. Before leaving, he said yes. The tea that I brought with me this time has been exhausted, and I only have this left over, which I will give to the owner. When I return to Huating Town, I will arrange for someone to bring some good tea for the owner to taste."

After finishing speaking, he bowed his head and stood aside, waiting for the Patriarch's order.

However, Feng An remained silent, a little absent-minded.

He is still brooding over the fact that he has been drinking tea for two years...
