This morning, after finishing the divination with yin and yang money, I went to Yi Ba's Anqing Temple as usual, preparing to do morning exercises with him.
As soon as I walked to the gate of Anqingguan, I saw Bai Mengting's Z4 approaching.
"It's quite early!" I shouted to Bai Mengting and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
"I went to Anqingguan to look for you and found no one, so I I know you came here." Bai Mengting glared at me and said, "I have something important to tell you and Yi Ba."
Important thing? What's important? Judging from the serious look on Bai Mengting's face, she must not be joking, and indeed must have something important to tell us.
"Sister-in-law is here too?" Yi Ba came out yawning.
“Have you been to Gouzi Village?” Bai Mengting asked us.
"Yes!" I nodded and said, "It happened two days ago. What happened?"
"Someone died in Gouzi Village last night, and it was a widow. , named Zheng Xiaoyu, committed suicide by hanging. Judging from the police investigation results, Zheng Xiaoyu had the idea of committing suicide because of the long-term depression due to the death of the man.
Hang yourself? Zheng Xiaoyu hanged himself? This news was like a bolt from the blue, hitting my head directly and leaving me stunned.
Zheng Xiaoyu's man has been dead for two years. Even if he is depressed and wants to commit suicide, there is no need to wait until now! The most important thing is that Zheng Xiaoyu committed suicide after Yi Ba and I went to Gouzi Village and met her. My intuition tells me that Zheng Xiaoyu's suicide has something to do with Yi Ba and me.
"Why did you come to tell us the news?" Yi Ba asked Bai Mengting with some confusion.
"Mr. Bai asked me to come. She said that not only have you been to Gouzi Village, but you have also met Zheng Xiaoyu." Bai Mengting did not hide anything and confessed honestly.
"Tell us this, what does Master Bai mean? Is she reminding Brother Chu Yi and me that Zheng Xiaoyu's death has something to do with us?" Yi Ba asked.
“I don’t know about that.” Bai Mengting glanced at me helplessly and said, “If you want to find out, you can go to Sanheyuan and ask Master Bai yourself!”
"We should ask Mr. Bai, otherwise we will be kept in the dark. How passive we are!" Yi Ba said, then he reached out and opened the Z4 passenger door and got in.
Damn Yi Ba, you took the seat from me again. Why do I have such a short memory? Every time I take a beat, I have to sit in the trunk!
“We haven’t had breakfast yet, why don’t we go eat something first, since we’re not in a hurry right now.” I made this suggestion wittily.
After breakfast, if I go faster, doesn’t the co-pilot belong to me?
“If you’re hungry, brother in the first year of junior high school, go over there and buy some bread! You have to do business first, so you can put breakfast aside first.” Yi Ba smiled and said : "I can't give up the co-pilot I finally got for a breakfast."
"You are really my brother!" I said.
"Buy more bread when you buy it. My sister-in-law probably hasn't had breakfast either!" Yi Ba obviously wanted to eat it, but he dragged Bai Mengting into it.
"I want cake and yogurt." Bai Mengting ordered the meal.
After arriving at the bakery, I originally wanted to buy just one for myself and Bai Mengting, but after thinking about it, I bought one for Yi Ba. Although he stole my co-pilot, are we brothers after all? If you don't bring him breakfast, it won't be good if he gets hungry.
Every time I went to Sanheyuan before, I could hear the sound of the piano. This time, we all walked through the door, but it was still quiet and there was no sound at all.
"Master Bai didn't play the piano today?" I asked Bai Mengting.
“If you don’t want to play, don’t play. No one can predict Master Bai’s temperament.” Bai Mengting said.
"Master Bai, where are you?" I shouted when I saw that Master Bai was not there in the pavilion.
"Mengting, bring them to the tea room." This was Master Bai's voice.
Bai Mengting took us to the teahouse, where Master Bai was making tea!
"Good tea requires good water. Mountain springs are at the top, river water is in the middle, and well water is at the bottom." Master Bai pointed to the kettle that was burning on the charcoal stove and said: "In order to entertain the two distinguished guests, I stayed at Dishui Rock for most of the time. It took me an hour to receive such a pot of mountain spring water."
Master Bai first washed the teacup and teapot with boiling water. This was the Mu Lin Ou cup. The Ou here refers to Ruochen Ou, which is a small thin porcelain cup for drinking tea. It is as thin as paper and as white as snow.
The second step is for Guanyin to enter the palace, that is, to put Tieguanyin into the covered cup with the help of a tea bucket and a teaspoon.
When brewing Tieguanyin, the emphasis is on high flushing and low pouring of tea. The high flushing of the hanging pot allows the tea leaves to tumble in the lidded cup, allowing it to develop its fragrance early.
The next step is to gently scrape off the foam on the surface of the tea leaves with the cup lid. Afterwards, the aroma is brewed in the pot by letting the tea leaves soak in the covered pot for one to two minutes.
The aroma of tea was slightly wafting. Master Bai used the thumb and middle finger of his right hand to clamp the edge of the lid, and his index finger pressed the top of the lid. This is the three dragons protecting the tripod. Then she lifted up the lid and circled the edge of the tray, letting the water near the bottom of the pot drip. This is called flowing clouds and flowing water.
The subsequent Guanyin's voyage to the sea, also known as Guan Gong's inspection of the city, is to pick up the lid and pour the tea into the cup in order. The final pouring of water, also called Han Xin's pouring of water, is to keep the consistency of each cup of tea, pour the remaining tea in the pot into each cup, and also to express equality and respect for all tea drinkers.
When tasting Tieguanyin, you need to use all five senses, and the six senses agree, that is, appreciate the color of the soup, smell the fragrance, and taste the sweet rain.
I picked up the Ruochen Ou, took a sip, and sipped slowly. I first felt the sweetness and freshness of the taste, then I felt the fragrance lingering on my teeth and cheeks, and then I had endless aftertaste.
“Good tea!” I praised sincerely.
"Thank you for being a good friend." Yi Ba said something to me and said: "The word "good tea" alone is not enough to set off the beauty of this tea."
"Then you can say a few words!" I said.
"It smells good! It looks good! It tastes good!" Yi Ba, I thought he could talk about flowers, but in the end he just used three useless words.
"Zhu Yi's comment is easy to understand, but it doesn't tell the whole story." Master Bai said with a smile.
"Isn't that right? The nose, eyes and mouth are all covered, how can it be incomplete?" I teased that guy Yi Ba.
"The tea has been drunk, should we talk about business?" Yi Ba asked Master Bai.
“If you have anything to ask, just ask!” Bai Fuzi said.
"Zheng Xiaoyu hanged himself, is it related to Bai Yonggui?" Yi Ba asked bluntly.
"What is relevant? What is irrelevant?" Master Bai asked back.
“If you say that, we won’t be able to communicate happily!” Yi Badao said.
"There is no doubt that Zheng Xiaoyu committed suicide by hanging herself. Therefore, at least according to the police, her death has nothing to do with Bai Yonggui." Bai Fuzi said.
"In the world of materialism, it really has nothing to do with it, I know that. What I want to ask is, in the world of metaphysics, does Zheng Xiaoyu's death have anything to do with Bai Yonggui?" Yi Ba asked.
“It is not only related to him, but also to you, isn’t it?” Master Bai took the words and said: “If you and Zhao Chuyi don’t rush to Gouzi Village and walk there, "Hey, can you involve an innocent person like Zheng Xiaoyu?"
After Master Bai said this, my heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Yi Ba and I went to Gouzi Village to investigate the matter of Bai Delu's Yin Mansion. The affairs of the Bai family have nothing to do with Zheng Xiaoyu. If we hadn't gone to her house, Bai Yonggui would not have been able to do anything to her. In other words, although Zheng Xiaoyu was not killed by Yi Ba and I, her death was related to my and Yi Ba's rash actions.
"What do you want to say?" Yi Ba asked Master Bai. "It's a pity that Zheng Xiaoyu died, but at least it can make you see clearly what kind of opponent you are facing. Next time you act, you should be more cautious and don't implicate innocent people anymore." Bai Fuzi looked serious. Looking at Yi Ba and me, he said: "Your opponents are not only as capable as you, but also far more ruthless than you. If you don't act carefully, you will suffer big losses."
