053. Midsummer Tea Party (3)

After a while, Mengye and Miyagi were picked up by Mie.

As the only second descendant of the Chi Family of the Sect, Chimengye needs to be responsible for guiding guests to the tea room. Misaki Misaki, Miyagi, is responsible for standing by as the eldest disciple of Chimengya.

According to the tea ceremony etiquette, the mistress in the tea room was generally responsible for the guidance. According to the arrangement, Qian Mengye was the one who played this role, but Liuriko insisted on being responsible for the guidance at morning, so she pushed Mengye off and asked her to attend in the afternoon and evening.

After letting Mengye and Miyagi go to another rest room, the two continued to wait in the reception room. Before leaving, Miyagi came back and looked back, giving Qian Linya a thumbs up.

Qian Linya sweated.

But it seems that what she has to prepare is all prepared.

Then, people from Xiyuan Temple, Komsui, Huashanyuan and other families were taken to the rest room behind.

The people who come are basically women. The only exception is Hideka Takashi of the Takashi family, who is the only male descendant in this generation, so they are usually sent to participate in such activities.

I don’t know if this is the reason, but he looks weak and is no different from a girl.

After everyone arrived, Qian Linya went back to the tea room and placed a tribute fan at the door.

This ritual fan was not the one he had been circulating in Zong Qian's family for a long time, but was made by himself. The fan had new content written on it. It was a ritual fan he specially made for this tea party.

He held a broom in his hand and began to clean the yard.

According to the tea ceremony etiquette, before the guests arrive, the pavilion owner needs to sweep the courtyard, so that when the guests arrive, they will know that the host welcomes the guests when they see the open ground sprinkled with water.

The courtyard was already very clean, and sweeping again was only a symbolic meaning, but Qian Linya still did it meticulously.

Then, he entered the "water house" behind the tea room and checked the charcoal fire again.

These charcoals are all charcoals he carefully washed and then dried. In the tea ceremony, the charcoals burned are also very particular (to be precise, everything is very particular, including charcoal).

There are ten specifications of charcoal for tea ceremony, each of which has different lengths and thicknesses. Before entertaining guests, the charcoal chips need to be removed and then washed and dried so that the sparks will not splash when adding charcoal.

Then, Qian Linya scattered the made base ash carefully in the breeze furnace and carefully flattened it with utensils.

The bottom ash used for tea ceremony is formed by mixing tea and charcoal ash, rubbing it repeatedly by hand, and then drying it. The particles are distinct and the function is to prevent sparks from splashing.

He brought this bottom gray from his own home. Qian Linya used to make a lot of it, but unfortunately, it was impossible to consume it because he had no business.

After laying the bottom ash on the blast furnace, Qian Linya wiped the blast furnace again.

The wind furnace is a prop that has been passed down from the Tang Dynasty to this day and is specially used as a prop for making tea.

According to the tea ceremony, after the beginning of summer every year, the fire used for burning charcoal should be replaced with a blast furnace; after the beginning of autumn, the blast furnace should be placed in the center of the tea room to add warmth; after the weather gradually cools in November, the blast furnace will no longer be used, and will be used instead to use a floor furnace, which will last until the beginning of summer of the following year.

The midsummer tea party is held at the end of early summer, so naturally it is also a breeze stove.

The air furnace used this time is made of iron, and it was also made by Qian Linya using high-pressure wrists to make craftsmen handmade, which is expensive.

In contrast, the finished product is also extremely beautiful. It has a blue-black shape and looks like it.

After everything was ready, Qian Linya stood up, moved her body outside the tea room, and then went back to check the state of the refreshment.

After checking the refreshments, he walked to the door and removed the fan at the door.

The tea party is ready to begin.

Liulizi walked under the eaves of the corridor with guests from famous families.

The old lady from Dedoji was walking in the front. She had difficulty in legs and feet and asked Liuliko to support her, which slowed down the entire team, but no one dared to rush her.

Qian Linya had already knelt at the door, with a expressionless face, looking at the Taihu stone in the courtyard.

As the voices got closer, his heart became calmer and calmer.

The old lady from Deda Temple walked to the door, knelt down, and saluted Qianlinya.

Unexpectedly, although her legs and feet are inconvenient, kneeling is more convenient for her than walking.

Then, the guests behind entered the salute one after another, sat in the tea room, and even Liulizi came in to sit.

Looking at the rows of people with old and young, sitting in a manner that Qian Linya suddenly felt that he had become an elementary school teacher.

He bowed again, then stood up, went to the water room, and used a charcoal bucket to remove the charcoal fire.

When he left, the guests dispersed and began to discuss the tea room.

“It’s very beautiful.”

"Yes, it's very beautiful!"

Mrs. Yi and Nijo covered their mouths and praised Liuriko repeatedly. The wife asked Liuriko: "I heard that it was designed by Mr. Qian himself?"

Liuriko nodded.

The wife of the Komway family said next to her: "Hey? Really? Is he taking over everything, or is he just asking for ideas?"

"He even became half the chief engineer." Liuriko couldn't help but feel a little proud.

The young lady from the Kujo family said sarcastically: "Your boyfriend is really young and promising."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be my boyfriend." Liuriko said with a smile, covering her mouth.

The lady from the Nishiyuanji family next to her (22 years old, currently a college student from Tok University), her eyes widened and she asked in a cute tone: "Hey? Is it your boyfriend?"

"yes."

Although Ryuriko wished she could swear sovereignty all over the world, Miss Nishiyuanji didn't happen to hear it just now.

"Wow, he looked very serious just now, but since he is Ryuriko's boyfriend, he must be a very good person." Nishizoji said.

"Who knows?" Liuriko was stingy in front of others and praised her boyfriend.

The lady from the Nishiyuan Temple family pointed to the lonely peak stone in the courtyard with a little cuteness: "Does that mean anything?"

"That," Liuriko looked at the stone outside the courtyard depressedly, "I don't know either."

"Can you ask Teacher Qian later?"

On the other hand, the 40-year-old fat uncle from the Juting family pulled Yingsi Xiuhe to discuss the calligraphy in the niche.

"What is this word?"

"sleep."

"Where is this?"

"Day.Day."

“Read it.”

"The wind in the willow garden is quiet and people sleep in the daytime, and people sleep in the daytime, people sleep in the willow garden is quiet and people sleep in the daytime."

Uncle Juting grabbed his head: "It's so complicated!"

Xingsi Xiuhe explained to him, and the uncle said, "To put it bluntly, is it just a day sleep?"

Hideshi Hidea secretly covered her mouth and laughed: "This seems to be Kujosan..."

Nine who were sitting there hugged their arms in their chests. When they heard what they were talking about, their eyes glanced at Eagle like lightning, and he immediately stopped.

Qian Linya walked in, holding a charcoal bucket in his hand, and the discussion in the tea room stopped, and everyone sat around.
