Chapter 1665 Hua'an Questions and Answers (Part 1)
After Zhang Jing walked away, the atmosphere of the reception banquet plummeted. The remaining officials were also a little absent-minded. They wanted to flatter and flatter Zhao Wenhua, but they were also worried that he would not be able to do it again. If you stay, you will be liquidated by Zhang Jing.
However, if you follow Zhang Jing directly, you will offend Zhao Wenhua again. Zhang Jing had the capital to go. He was the governor of Jiangnan. He held a high position and had a large number of troops. He was deeply trusted by the emperor, but they did not.
It doesn’t matter if you leave, it doesn’t matter if you stay; if you don’t dare to leave, you don’t dare to stay.
As a result, all the officials were fidgeting in their seats as if they had hemorrhoids on their buttocks, feeling tormented in their hearts.
Finally, Zhao Wenhua was considerate and stood up to thank all the officials for helping him clean up the dust and ended the banquet early.
Everyone bowed their hands and thanked them and dispersed. Zhao Wenhua said goodbye to all the officials, big and small, at the door, which greatly moved all the officials, especially the middle and lower-level officials.
In the end, everyone dispersed at the banquet, except for Zhu Ping'an.
No choice, before the reception banquet started, Zhao Wenhua stopped Zhu Pingan in public and asked Zhu Pingan to stay and taste tea after the banquet. Zhu Pingan couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
"Zihou, let's go, follow me to the study and try the tea I brought from the capital." After Zhao Wenhua saw everyone off at the door, he patted Zhu Pingan on the shoulder and said with a smile on his face.
Zhu Pingan followed him all the way to the study.
“Come on, have a taste.”
After a dazzling series of tea art operations, Zhao Wenhua poured a cup of tea with his own hands and handed it to Zhu Pingan, gesturing for Zhu Pingan to taste it.
"Thank you, teacher."
Zhu Pingan thanked him and took the tea cup with both hands. The tea in the cup was green tea. The soup was bright green and exuded a refreshing tea aroma.
Zhu Ping'an is actually not good at tea tasting, but he has never eaten pork and has seen pigs running away, so it's okay to comment on it.
Zhu Pingan took a sip lightly, closed his eyes and pretended to reflect for a moment, then opened his eyes and commented, "The soup is green and bright, the entrance is pure and refreshing, the fragrance is refreshing, and the aftertaste is long. It is really a good tea, student It’s a blessing.”
“Good tea, haha. , this is half a catty of tea given to me by my adoptive father before leaving Beijing. It is the world-famous usnea tea. The usnea tea given to me by my adoptive father is even more precious among the rare usnea teas. Brother Donglou asked my adoptive father for it. After asking for it many times, his adoptive father only gave him two taels, "Zhao Wenhua laughed and said with a proud look on his face.
There is a difference between closeness and distance. No matter what happens, he is still his biological son. You are just your godson. What is there to be proud of?
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but secretly curse.
"Does Zihou know about Usnea tea?" Zhao Wenhua asked.
"Students are ignorant and ignorant, so please ask the teacher for advice." Zhu Pingan shook his head slightly and said with cupped hands.
Whether in modern times or in ancient times, Zhu Pingan was not from a high background, and he did not have high requirements for tea. It does not matter whether it is new tea, old tea, or even green tea and black tea. Brewing a pot of tea can quench your thirst and Just refreshing and relieving tiredness.
After living with Li Shu, the quality of the tea I enjoyed improved. I always drank good tea and new tea. Now when you taste tea, it can be divided into new tea, old tea, good tea and ordinary tea. If you want to go further, I can't do it.
As for the usnea tea mentioned by Zhao Wenhua, Zhu Pingan had never heard of it and really didn't pay attention to it.
"This Usnea tea is produced in Usnea Mountain. There are poems that say: There are not many famous mountains in Huijun, but only Usnea has a good situation. The mountains are surrounded by colorful lights, and the pines and cypresses are often surrounded by white clouds. Usnea Mountain is uniquely endowed by nature, and good mountains are good for pregnancy. Tea, this is usnea tea. Usnea tea has only become famous in recent years. For a time, it was hard to find a fortune. The reason why he was famous was because Monk Dafang lived and practiced in Songluo Mountain. He loved making tea and was exquisite in making tea. He studied Buddhist scriptures for thousands of years and achieved enlightenment. Improve it again. The taste is unparalleled in the world, and it quickly became famous after being spread by people who worshiped the Buddha. One tael of Usnea tea is worth one tael of gold. Although it is expensive, the supply exceeds the demand, and people are eager to get it. They are all for profit. In the end, even the generous monk couldn't bear it. I took advantage of the inducement and went back to tea-making and selling. I heard that I am now very wealthy. I have married three wives and four concubines, and have many servants. I have become one of the most wealthy families in Hui County."
Zhao Wenhua said with a smile. The origin story of usnea tea was briefly told to Zhu Pingan.
Uh.
This usnea tea, in today’s terms, was the most popular internet celebrity tea in the Ming Dynasty.
A monk returns to secular life and sells tea, which is like a Buddha jumping over a wall. It has the ability to spread the topic. Everyone wants to try the taste of the tea that even the eminent monks can’t stand the temptation to sell. So it spreads all of a sudden and becomes an internet celebrity. .
Zhu Pingan suddenly understood.
“However, although this generous monk made a fortune, his reputation is also despised by others, especially among Buddhists who denounced him as a scum of Buddhism and expelled him from the Buddhist scriptures. This happened in many temples.” Monk Da Fang and dogs are not allowed to enter. There are rumors that fabricated Monk Da Fang When he was in the temple, his six roots were impure, he harassed good girls from good families who worshiped the Buddha, became rich and unkind after returning to secular life, bullied men and dominated women, forced good girls into prostitution, etc. His reputation was ruined. Although the generous monk is rich, he can't stop everyone in the world from talking about you."
Zhao Wenhua looked at Zhu Pingan with a smile and said slowly.
Is this what Zhao Wenhua means? Zhu Ping'an noticed in his heart and vaguely guessed Zhao Wenhua's intention.
"So, Zihou, three people become tigers, one person makes gold with his mouth, and destroys his bones. This man's words are terrible. If this generous monk had been in the imperial court, he would have been impeached to death long ago. ." Zhao Wenhua said with emotion.
"Zihou, as you see, I have been slandered by others. What can I do?" Zhao Wenhua looked at Zhu Ping'an and asked slowly.
"Real gold is not afraid of fire, and an upright body is not afraid of slanted shadows. You can prove your innocence by yourself." Zhu Ping'an replied.
"Okay, a good man is not afraid of fire, and his body is not afraid of slanting shadows." Hearing this, Zhao Wenhua clapped his hands for a while, then looked at Zhu Pingan with a smile, and asked leisurely, "Zi He is knowledgeable and talented. Do you know about the case of Yue Fei and Yue Wumu being killed by Qin Hui on unfounded charges? Is Yue Wumu actually a real person? When Yue Fei fought against the Jin Dynasty How could Yue Wumu prove his innocence when there were many unfounded "crimes" such as supporting troops and refusing to save his troops? When jointly launching a mutiny How can Yue Wumu prove his innocence? When the old Han Shizhong complained about Yue Wumu and questioned Qin Hui, Qin Hui replied that there was no need for it. How did Yue Fei prove his innocence? "
How did Yue Fei prove his innocence? Prove innocence?
Cannot prove it. (End of chapter)
