Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 104
The tea club is held in the sub-building of the county school library. The tea club has a total of 44 members, including 20 students from the upper dormitory, ten students from the middle dormitory and ten freshmen from the lower dormitory.

There are also four special members of the teaching order, and Fanning is one of them.

Every member of the tea house wears a white satin uniform, a black gauze cap on the head, a leather belt around the waist, and new white socks on the feet. The shoes are all taken off outside the door, and no shoes are allowed inside.

More than forty members all sit on the floor, using the traditional kneeling method, with their buttocks sitting on their heels. After five generations, with the popularization of high chairs, this sitting posture has gradually disappeared.

It is only preserved in some ancient families and traditional ceremonies.

Last year, the well-known old-fashioned professor Wang Xu guided the tea house, and he set the rules of kneeling and sitting.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Fanning couldn't hold on anymore.

Not only him, almost all the freshmen showed pain on their faces, and their bodies twisted from side to side.

But no one laughed at them. Everyone has experienced it and knows the pain of kneeling and sitting at the beginning.

"Old man Zhang Ruoying, the professor of Hongyan Academy, starting this year, I will guide everyone's tea art."

Fan Ning recognized Zhang Ruoying, who was the chief examiner when they participated in the second county magistrate selection competition. In his impression, he was a very upright old man.

Zhang Ruoying was really understanding. He saw the pain on the faces of the freshmen, so he smiled at everyone.

"I don't ask everyone's sitting posture. Keeping it clean is necessary, but you can feel free to sit in such a formal way."

Fanning breathed a long sigh of relief, straightened his feet, and then sat down cross-legged, feeling much more comfortable.

With Fan Ning taking the lead, the freshmen changed their sitting postures one after another, and even the middle school students and the upper school students were reluctant to keep kneeling.

Zhang Ruoying nodded to Fan Ning, and continued: "Tea art is a means of communication that literati in this dynasty must master. Scholars can learn at home, or go to teahouses to learn from teachers.

Now that you have chosen the tea house, I am obliged to let you master some basic tea art. Today I will tell you about the identification of tea cakes. Next, please take out the tea cakes. "

Fan Ning opened the tea cake box on the table and took out half a tea cake. Although Biluochun from Pingjiang Mansion was good, the output was too small to meet the huge demand of the Song Dynasty society.

The popular tea cakes in the market are all Jianzhou tea, that is, tea from the Fujian area. It has a large output and high quality, and was once listed as a tribute.

Fan Ning carefully looked at the tea cake in his hand. It was a sample provided by the tea house. The inside of the tea cake was light yellow. He sniffed it close to his nose. The tea was very light and slightly bitter.

"Everyone is optimistic about the tea cakes in your hands. They should be light yellow. Tea cakes are divided into grades. The best are Longcha and Fengcha, followed by Jingting and Sanbai, and the worst are called skulls and subbones. The tea cakes in your hands It is the skull, which belongs to relatively low-end tea cakes. Good tea cakes should be pure white.
The reason why dragon tea and phoenix tea are called the best is not only that they are made with extremely high craftsmanship, but also that they have been preserved for many years. "

. . . . . . . . .

The tea class on the first day today was only about tea cakes and tea sets, and there was no practice of ordering tea. However, Zhang Ruoying specifically talked about fine tea when explaining tea sets, and introduced some characteristics of fine tea.

It's a pity that the fine tea is not in his hand, Fan Ning is very regretful, he puts the tea set on his bookcase as a decoration, he knew that he would bring fine tea to class, why must he use this set of white porcelain tea set?

After class, he rushed to the dormitory.

Fan Ning ran back to the dormitory in one breath, only to see Duan Yu and Su Liang standing in front of their bookcase admiring the tea set.

"How about the tea set? It can still catch the eyes of the two of you!" Fan Ning walked in with a smile.

"Fanning, where did you get the tea set?"

Su Liang looked at Fan Ning with admiration, "We just found out that it's fine tea!" He pointed to the box Fan Ning threw at the foot of the bed.

Even Duan Yu, who has always been introverted, couldn't hide his inner excitement in front of Jianci Rabbit Haozhan, and he looked fascinatedly at the teacup in his hand.

"Fanning, this is the first time I've seen a rabbit."

They are all children of a scholarly family, and they learned to make tea at home since they were young. A pair of top-quality tea sets has a strong attraction for them.

"Fan Ning, put this pair of tea sets away. I mean, it's best to put them in a box. People will watch them outside. Our county school may not be safe."

Su Liang dragged out a heavy sandalwood box from under the bed and put it on the table, "Listen to me, put it away!"

Fan Ning thought of his own Taihu Stone, and he nodded, "You're right, it's really not appropriate to put it outside."

Fan Ning put the sterling silver teapot into the box, and he asked curiously: "Today, someone asked the professor, who is the number one tea ceremony master in Pingjiang Mansion? Professor Zhang said it was a young woman, but he refused to say more. You know this woman who is it?"

Su Liang and Duan Yu looked at each other, and they almost said in unison, "Of course it's Shi Xiaoya!"

"Who?" Fanning couldn't believe what he heard.

Su Liang said with a smile: "Shi Xiaoya, who is known as the most talented woman in Pingjiang Mansion, is one of the top ten masters in this dynasty for her tea dividing skills. She can divide a peony into tea, so she is also called a peony." hand."

"Who is this Shi Xiaoya?"

Fanning was really curious about Jupe's master.

"She is the granddaughter of Professor Shi, the former county school instructor. Her grandfather specialized in teaching the Book of Songs, so she was named Xiaoya."

Speaking of this, Duan Yu couldn't help but yearn for it leisurely, "Three years ago, she won the four first prizes in piano, poetry, tea, and painting at the Huqiu Wenhui. , only 16 years old this year!"

Hearing that Shi Xiaoya was only 16 years old, Fan Ning yearned even more, that he could meet this talented girl sometime.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and someone shouted: "Stop the bleeding first!"

Fan Ning and the three looked at each other, and quickly walked out of the dormitory, only a dozen students came supporting a blood-stained student, who was crying as he walked, with a very painful expression on his face.

"It's Lu Youwei!"

Su Liang recognized the student at once, and Fan Ning also recognized it. It was really Lu Youwei. He was startled and ran up quickly.

"What happened?" Fanning asked in a deep voice.

"He was injured by Yang Du!"

A student said angrily: "They are deliberately bullying the students of our Luming Institute."

Lu Youwei reported to the Sword Club. In his words, he is relatively timid, and practicing swordsmanship can strengthen his courage. It must be that something happened during the activities of the Sword Club in the afternoon.

Everyone rushed to stop Lu You's bleeding. Fan Ning pulled a student over and asked, "What happened?"

The student said indignantly: "Today, we had a class in the sword club, and later changed to practice one-on-one chopping, and more than [-] people from Gufengyuan came to challenge us.

Yang Du took the lead in challenging us, but no one said a word. He began to insult Master Zhao, saying that an old tortoise taught a group of young turtles. "

The student sighed, "It turned out that Lu Youwei was not Yang Du's opponent, and he was defeated in two sword strikes. He gave up the sword and conceded defeat, but Yang Du refused to stop, and continued to hack him. His attack was very vicious, and he specially targeted Lu Youwei's face. Let's do it."

Fan Ning frowned, "Didn't you practice with a wooden sword?"

"Actually, the edge of the wooden sword is also very sharp, it can also cut through the flesh."

At this time, several students shouted angrily: "It's too much to be hurt like this!"

Fan Ning came back in a hurry, the blood on Lu Youwei's face had been washed away, only a big gash was cut on the left cheek, and the flesh was opened, looking very hideous and terrifying.

The anger in Fan Ning's heart suddenly burned. Although he didn't hurt his muscles and bones, leaving such a long scar would be disfigured.

This will affect Lu Youwei's future.

"This is Gufeng Academy insulting us, we must not swallow it!"

The students were excited and shouted to stand up for their classmates.

Su Liang asked Fan Ning in a low voice, "What should we do now?"

Fan Ning sneered and said: "Swallowing your breath will only let it go, and only by making things worse can you get justice!"

Fanning walked quickly to the front and shouted: "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me!"

The students quieted down, and Fan Ning said loudly: "This matter is that Gufeng Academy bullied us at Luming Academy. We should tell Jiaoyu and ask Jiaoyu to seek an explanation for Lu Youwei. We must apologize! We must be severely punished!"

"That's right, we want to apologize! We need to be punished severely!" Everyone shouted together.

"Everyone come with me!"

In response to all calls, more than 50 students from the lower dormitory of Luming Academy followed Fan Ning and walked to the main building, Qinxue Building.

A group incident unexpectedly broke out in the county school, which has not happened in the county school for more than ten years.

The professors of the county school were quickly alarmed, and Zhao Xiuwen, who had just returned to the county school from the outside, hurried down from the second floor.

The news had already spread, and more and more students came from all directions. Hundreds of students surrounded the more than [-] students in the lower dormitory on the steps.

"What are you doing?"

Zhang Yi, the chief professor of Gufeng Academy, ran out first, and shouted at Fan Ning and others, "You don't study hard, why did you come here to disturb the order of the school?"

Fan Ning pulled Lu Youwei up, pointed to his face and said to Zhang Yi, "This is a good deed done by your disciple, please give us an explanation!"

"We want to speak!" More than [-] students raised their arms and shouted together.

An indescribable pride flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes, and he pretended to be surprised: "Who did this...?"

"This is your disciple Yang Du's murder and injury!"

Hearing that it was Yang Du who caused the trouble, Zhang Yi's face suddenly became complicated.

"Who did it?" An angry voice came from behind.

Zhao Xiuwen separated from the crowd and walked in. Seeing Lu Youwei's bloody face, he was also extremely angry.

Fan Ning went forward to salute, and then told the story of what happened in the sword society class.

When Zhao Xiuwen heard that student Gu Feng scolded him as an old turtle, he gave Zhang Yi a very resentful look. This was what Zhang Yi often scolded himself behind his back.

His students also scolded him, needless to say, Zhang Yi must have been instigating behind his back.

He immediately said to Fan Ning and the other students: "I already know the whole story of this incident, and I have seen the injury with my own eyes. Now you go back immediately and don't gather people to petition again. This will affect the students' studies. I believe the school will definitely Handle it fairly!"

Zhang Ruoying also said: "Fan Ning, take everyone back, as long as it suits you!"

Fan Ning brought everyone to the main building, as long as he attracted enough momentum and attention, he would achieve his goal. If there was too much noise, Zhang Yi would catch him.

Besides, Lu Youwei's injury should not be delayed.

Fan Ning glared at Zhang Yi, turned around and said loudly to the students: "We can go back, but we must express our attitude, and we must apologize! We must be severely punished!"

More than [-] students raised their arms and shouted again: "Apologize! Severe punishment!"
