Rebirth of the best waste material

Chapter 714 The Dining Table of the Yi Family (1)
Kou Xiang nodded and didn't say much. Whether they come back or not has nothing to do with her at all. She came here today to meet Mr. Yi's appointment for tea. Butler Zhao said this, but Butler Zhao was still not happy about it, saying that he went to the manor to pick fresh vegetables early in the morning, so as not to waste them, Kou Xiang could only say that she would eat less and continue to eat at home, so Butler Zhao would be satisfied .

"Do you think I should call you Miss Mu or Kou Xiang?"

Elder Yi threw the question to her in order to let her take the initiative to get closer to him. Most elders would ask this question. This child is always embarrassed to say that you call me Miss Mu.

Of course Kou Xiang wouldn't do that, so she said, "Whatever!"

The corner of Yi Lao’s mouth twitched, as expected, he came from the Capital University, and he immediately threw the question back, not far-fetched at all, casual and simple, with a distinctive personality, which is the rare truth in this circle , making Elder Yi want to frown, but he could only grin.

No wonder, no wonder Yi Xiu, who has never had any feelings for women, fell in love with this girl. This ability to adapt to changes is really perfect, and the thickness of her skin is also very impressive.

For Yi Lao's contempt, Kou Xiang ignored it, she should eat and drink, she knew that this old man had ideas, so she had already made the best preparations, and if she wanted to get close, she had to agree!
Elder Yi was kicked back for this trick again, so he could only justify himself: "Then I'll call you Kou Xiang, is that okay?"

"Okay." Kou Xiang smiled, and immediately changed the subject: "Yi Lao, you Dahongpao brewed well, it seems that you are very particular about tea."

Speaking of the tea ceremony, Yi Lao became more energetic, and obviously talked more: "I usually have nothing to do at home, so I like to study this tea ceremony. Don't tell me, in our Chinese history, tea is the best channel to enhance friendship. If you have If you are interested, I can explain it to you."

"Okay, there is no limit to learning. I like drinking tea very much, but I don't know much about it. If Mr. Yi can talk to me, it will give me a lot of insight."

"There are very few young people your age, especially girls, who like to drink tea. Since this is the case, then I will talk to you."

"Old Yi, please!"

"Actually, according to the way of tea handed down from ancient China, it is a way of art. It is a life etiquette with tea as a medium, and it is also a way of self-cultivation. Through making tea, enjoying tea, drinking tea , enhance friendship, cultivate morality with beauty, learn etiquette, drink tea to calm the mind and spirit, and is more suitable for cultivating sentiment and removing distracting thoughts. Practice thought."

Kou Xiang raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Mr. Yi to have such a deep understanding of the tea ceremony, listening to his words, it seems that there is a guzheng accompanying his ears, and the artistic conception of green water and mountains, which also makes Kou Xiang have a better understanding of the Shenlong Jue. Another layer of understanding.

Tea can cultivate one's body and mind, because drinking tea makes one's mind peaceful, and practicing Shenlong Jue, doesn't one need such tranquility?Maybe she can start from this point, and maybe it will help her practice in the future.

"Old Yi usually drinks tea alone, or does he like to be accompanied?"

"Generally speaking, drinking tea alone is a practice, and drinking tea with two people is a taste, but no one in this family has time to drink tea with me. Junlan has never been interested in tea ceremony. Yixiu's father is busy with work on weekdays. I don't have time to accompany me, when Yi Xuan was at home, he would accompany me to taste a product, but now, he is not at home."

"Yixuan?" Kou Xiang chuckled, she really couldn't imagine what it would be like for this child to drink tea quietly, how could he calm down with his bluffing?
As if he could see through Kou Xiang's thoughts, Elder Yi said with a smile: "Don't underestimate Yi Xuan, this kid is usually not upright, but the good thing is that he is filial. He has put in a lot of effort, but he doesn't want people to feel that he is flattering, so he always pretends not to understand anything, this kid is actually a very sensitive kid."

Kou Xiang got to know a different Yi Xuan from Yi Lao's mouth. Although the time of knowing him was not short, in her eyes, Yi Xuan has always been an image of an ignorant child. It turned out that he just didn't want to show himself Just the delicate side.

"Speaking of Yi Xuan, I want to ask you, have you and Yi Xuan ever been together?"

Kou Xiang was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Why did Mr. Yi ask such a question, do you think Yi Xiu will snatch his younger brother's woman, or a woman whose appetite I really have such a good appetite, I will not let both brothers go."

"I'm just asking casually. If you don't want to say it, just don't say it."

"Yi Xuan and I are innocent, I have no feelings for Yi Xuan, is that clear enough?"

"Clear." Yi Lao nodded, and said to himself: "It seems that Yi Xuan is wishful thinking."

"Huh? Elder Yi also knows about this?"

"I don't know. It's hard to know. That child is too obvious. Every time he eats, he only talks about you, how smart, capable, and beautiful you are. Anyway, I don't care about you." I understand, it all comes from Yi Xuan."

The corner of Kou Xiang's mouth twitched, I hope that kid didn't say anything that shouldn't be said.

"Elder Yi, please tell me about the tea ceremony culture, I am very interested."

"Oh? That's great."

Mr. Yi was obviously very interested in the topic of tea culture, and he soon started talking again.

"Then let me tell you about the spirit of the tea ceremony."

"Okay."

"The spirit of tea ceremony is the core of tea culture and the soul of tea culture. Through tasting tea, one can express a person's etiquette, character, artistic conception, aesthetic views and spiritual thoughts. This is an art of drinking tea. It is the combination of tea art and spirit. Combining, expressing the spirit through tea art."

"The spirit of the tea ceremony flourished in the Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Song and Ming dynasties, and declined in the Qing Dynasty. The Chinese tea ceremony pays attention to the beauty of the five realms. It talks about tea, tea, heat, gaps, and environments. The highest pleasure of the heart."

Kou Xiang listened very seriously, Yi Lao couldn't help nodding, and was even more satisfied with his grandson-in-law.

"Am I talking too much?"

"Not much, I'm fascinated by it, Mr. Yi, do you have any stories about tea?"

"Yes, let me tell you about it." Yi Lao thought for a while and said, "The word tea ceremony has existed as early as in the Tang Dynasty of our country. Liu Zhenliang of the Tang Dynasty described it in "Ten Virtues of Drinking Tea" like this: It is feasible to use tea to be elegant, and it is also recorded in "Fengshi Hearing and Seeing Notes": the tea ceremony is popular, and the princes and courts are all drinkers. The atmosphere and the wonderful charm of tea tasting are very vividly described. You can go and have a look to taste the truth when you have time. In fact, there were many tea lovers in ancient my country, for example, Song Huizong Zhao Ji was one of them.”
