In the county office, there is a row of staggered stone courtyards. Because Zhu Tao was the monarch of the palace, he pried open countless bluestones in the courtyard and moved them to the flowers and trees in all seasons. If the matter in the county is not related to the gentry, he will have his own county magistrate and be responsible for the thin dishes. He will stay among the flowers and trees all day long, carrying beautiful maids, singing in autumn and sad in winter.
At this time, under the plum tree, a layer of water-washing reed mat was laid. Zhu Tao, Xi Jian, and Liu Nong sat around a short wooden plum table, and two beautiful maids stood beside him.
Liu Xun and the followers brought by Xi Jian were waiting far away, talking about the customs and customs of Jiangdong and Yanzhou. As soon as the young man entered the court, the big man he was leading came in a ox cart. After asking carefully, he entered the inner courtyard of the mansion. He leaned on the ox cart obliquely and felt relaxed. As expected, he had to have a cup of tea, and the followers came to call each other, saying that the young man was invited by the mansion and was having a talk in the inner courtyard of the mansion and asked him to go and serve.
A twist of wind and clouds stir up water, in the eyes of the children of aristocratic families, it is just clouds and mist.
A maid brought a kettle and served a tea-making stove. Liu Nong called Liu Shi, took some tea dried from the ox cart, and began to roast the fire and make soup.
The famous scholars in the Jin Dynasty loved wine and tea, but the wine was as light as water when Liu Nong tasted it. The tea was too strong. They used the method of stir-frying tea to cook. Although they could drive away fatigue, they could lose their spirits, which was far less than the unique method of the master in later generations. Liu Nong had wanted to learn tea with him, but the master said that his heart was not right and only let him watch and not teach.
After a brief discussion, Xi Jian and Zhu Tao had already asked about his life experience. Originally, Liu Ling, the wine fairy, they all said that it was no wonder that they were so arrogant. When they learned that Wei Jie would help him find Wang Gong's book, they stopped asking. Xi Jian had a good tea and drank it whenever he talked about it for a long time. However, Liu Nong was really not used to the cooking method, so he recommended to make tea himself.
But when he first met the wind, he closed his eyes and pondered. When he opened his eyes, he smiled slowly, and did not lift his sleeves. He waved his wide sleeves and held the stove to adjust the heat. When the water rolled, he pinched the green tea in the saucer and boiled the water and then started the tea. He snatched the tea with a small silver thread and placed it in three tea bowls. At this time, he carried the bronze chicken head pot and poured water lightly. The water lines were like beads, crystal clear in them, just like dragonflies sifting water, which made the fragrance of tea in the bowl overflow.
Zhu Tao smelled the fragrance and soaked his spleen. He couldn't help but want to reach out to get the tea bowl. Liu Nong smiled slightly and stopped him, "Don't be anxious, wait for a while."
As he said that, he carried half a pot of boiling water and brushed the tea leaves hidden in the tea bowl to a height of nine. After a while of rolling, it was exactly seven minutes full, with a green color, just like a lake of autumn. Looking carefully, the green tea with full roots stood up on the water, as if it had not yet sunken. He picked up the tea bowl and swung it slightly.
Suddenly, the clear fragrance of Xu Huai floated around the whole of Xu Xiang, who seemed faint and non-stop, but clear. A beautiful maid couldn't help but say in surprise: "Oh, it's so fragrant."
Liu Nong smiled calmly, put the tea bowl in his hand to Xi Jian, and said, "Please watch first, then smell it, drink it quickly!"
When Xi Jian watched the tea, he saw that the tea leaves seemed to come alive, trembling with the clear water, dancing gracefully. He placed it under his nose and sniffed it secretly, and immediately a wisp of elegant fragrance penetrated straight into his mind and swayed completely. The spirit of the clear mind wandered all over his body, as if he was in the autumn wind of the green mountains, and he was so unhappy.
"It's wonderful!"
Xi Jian sniffed the fragrance of tea, shook his head, and praised it again and again: "Before drinking your throat, the fragrance has already surrounds the soul, this tea is wonderful!"
Zhu Tao had been waiting aside for a long time, but it was difficult to compete for tea with an elder like Xi Jian, who was both noble and respectful. He hurriedly said, "It's really a unique tea fragrance, tiger head, hurry up and have a bowl with me!"
Liu Nong swept a bowl for him and smiled and said, "Mr. Fu, please use it slowly!"
The two of them drank the tea lightly, and they both sank deeply into the color of tea, the taste of tea, and the meaning of tea, and they could not come back to their senses for a long time.
After a while, Xi Jian held the tea bowl and stared at Liu Nong, who was sitting opposite him. At this time, the plum blossoms were not blooming, but the branches were tall and arrogant. The young man sat under the tree with his knees, leaned forward slightly, and his pink face was smiling calmly. He was praised but was not surprised. A little breeze came, stroking the corner of his robe, making him look even more fairy-like.
Empty and handsome, like a pine tree in a distant mountain.
Such a person is also a descendant of a famous family. Although he will be registered as a family member, he will definitely be able to join the gentry with Wei Shubao's recommendation and his own romanticism. Xi Jian was poor when he was young and didn't care much about his disciples. As long as he could make sense, he could be talented and capable. Well, he must not miss it. He made up his mind, put down the tea bowl, and asked with a smile: "Tiger head, do you have any words?"
Liu Nong said: "The boy is young and has no words yet."
Xi Jian said "Oh" and said with a smile: "What if I give the word "Tiger Head"?"
What's going on!
Liu Nong was shocked and couldn't help but lean back slightly. At this time, only the elders or teachers could give the word "Title" can be given. He was still so young, it was too early to be away from Guanzhi. Even if this famous refugee general took a fancy to him again, he shouldn't have given the word "Title" at this time. When he looked at him, he found that Zhu Tao beside him was also shocked, but he was very concealed. His two fingers were lightly clasped on the table, indicating that he agreed.
Xi Jian smiled and asked again: "Didn't Hut think my knowledge is not enough?"
General Cheqi, Duke of Nanchang County, Taiwei, Taizai, and those books and texts that have been passed down from generation to generation. Su Dongpo even wrote poems and praised: "How can people know Xi Jian? Heaven does not leave their loyalties." How can such a civil and military figure be without knowledge?
Liu Nong straightened his clothes, tied his crown and tied his head, bowed and said, "Why would you dare to say goodbye to the elders? Liu Nong thanked Mr. Xi!"
Xi Jian helped him up, and he became more and more happy as he looked at him. He smiled and said, "If you want me to give me a word, please change it. Call me, uncle. Let's wait for the next day, and then change it."
Uncle? What's the change...
Liu Nong's heart was beating. Now even a fool knew what Xi Jian wanted to do. Xi Jian, Xi Jian, the son-in-law of the East Side! Ah, he is Wang Xizhi's father-in-law.
Seven or eight years later, he chose a son-in-law for his daughter. Director Wang placed all his children in the east wing room and asked them to choose at will. When the Wang family heard that he came to choose a son-in-law, they dressed up their good life and hoped that Que Ping would choose. Wang Xizhi was a smart man who knew how to stand out in the crowd. So he ran to the bed, lying with his chest and a belly exposed to drink tea in a daze. As a result, Xi Jian felt that it was different and married his daughter to him.
This, this...
Liu Nong's chest was turbulent. He heard that his daughter was a talented and beautiful person, but she had never seen her face before, so how different is it to marry her? However, Xi Jian did not say it clearly, and he couldn't hold on to the deadlock anymore. He calmed down, took a step back, and bowed to the ground: "Liu Nong has met Uncle Xi!"
"Okay, OK!"
Xi Jian smiled with his beard and stood up, turned slightly along the plum blossom tree, and ordered his followers to take a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, holding a pen, and writing in a straight wrist.
Zhu Tao looked ahead and saw a line of cursive script on Zuo Bo's paper with unique brushwork. It was deep and steady, lush and magnificent, and the strokes were clear and unstoppable. It was indeed a famous calligraphy master.
Yin'e said: "There are no gentlemen who cannot be ignored. Look at the secrets of the world, and the green bamboos are like gifts."
Xi Jian helped Liu Nong, who was still lying on the ground, held hands and came to the desk, and said, "Tiger head, although you are temporarily in trouble, you are far away from the forest. You must not be arrogant. You need to practice poetry and books diligently, be clear and mysterious. I would like to give you this sentence to a gift!"
As he said that, he took off another jade cui from his waist and handed it to Liu Nong. This was an orchid jade, with fine carvings and a bright color. Obviously, Xi Jian was always scrubbing, which should be his beloved thing.
Liu Nong paused again: "I must remember my uncle's encouragement in my heart. I am ashamed to receive this book. How dare I give my uncle a beloved Gui again!"
Xi Jian smiled and said, "A gentleman is like jade, a gentleman is like bamboo, and a gentleman is like pine. Giving you this thing is to hope that you will not forget the nature of a gentleman. Taking jade as the appearance and pine and bamboo as the inside, you must not refuse again."
"Thank you uncle!"
When Liu Nong heard his words, he had to take Gui in his hand. The jade was warm and warm, and the palm of his hand felt soft. He thought to himself: Today's overturn was an adventure. He was waiting for sin from the hall and met Xi Jian and Zhu Tao. Both of them were intoxicated by the ancients. It was indeed Fengming Qishan. As long as he cultivated his own integrity, he would eventually meet noble people.
Zhu Tao smiled and said, "Mr. Xi gave me a gift of both the words and jade, so Zhu Tao would not let me be more beautiful than before. Well, since I drank your good tea, I am a common person, so I treat it with common etiquette!"
With a wave of his hand, he ordered the beautiful maid to order the followers to prepare two ox carts. As for what was loaded in the cart, he didn't say anything, just laughed, and he would know when Liu Nong left.
The three of them continued the tea again, and Xi Jian and Zhu Tao talked happily. Liu Nong was clumsy but did not speak, and only poured tea slowly. He was as quiet as a virgin, which made Xi Jian even more admired. But he did not go into the following text. This gift of jade was all about encouraging the young man to increase his closeness and distantness in advance. As for the future, it was also necessary to see whether the young man could be as good as Qiao and like a bamboo bag. After all, things that were prematurely wise or lost in prematurely have been happening since ancient times, and he did not dare to settle his daughter's life easily. In this way, with Zhu Tao as a witness, as long as the young man could be consistent in the future, it would be a natural thing.
In this way, it’s a small article!
Although Liu Nong kept his eyebrows silent, he also knew that there was a difference between the scholars and the common people, especially in this strict Jin Dynasty. Take today as an example. If he was really a refugee and had not been at the right time, he would probably let the traitor and the traitor succeed. The county magistrate was also a top official, but Zhu Tao took it as soon as he said he would take it and didn't care at all. This was a clan. Of course, he knew Xi Jian's idea, and everyone stopped it and was tacit. As for the future, it would be too long. Xi Jian was considering him, so why would he not have seen the talented and famous Xi Xuan and Xi Zifang in the future?
The sun was gradually drooping, and Liu Nong was worried about his mother at home, and Xi Jian was going back to Jianye City to meet Sima Rui and Wang Dao, so he left Zhu Tao one after another.
Xi Jian went first, and after a happy teaching, he left reluctantly.
Liu Nong stood under the tree and looked away, feeling a little relieved, and something was added to his waist, which was the orchid jade that was worn by Xi Jian himself. Liu Xu stood beside him, holding the book with a smile on his face, preparing to change the daily roll. He thought to himself: The little man is really extraordinary, and he will give things one after another. Not bad, not bad.
"Moo!"
A sound of a ox sounded, and Liu Nong turned around and saw two ox carts coming behind him. One of them was heavy, with wheels squeaking, and the green cow seemed to be a little overwhelmed. A beautiful maid jumped out of the other car, which was one of Zhu Tao's personal maids.
She walked slowly, and a happy blessing, and said with a smile: "Little Langjun, my name is Yingxue. I came to follow Zhu Langjun. From now on, Yingxue will become Xiaolangjun's person."
As she said that, she was about to stand behind Liu Nong. Liu Nong quickly shouted, "Let's wait! I dare not teach this. A gentleman will not take away what others like, a gentleman..."
"Prince..."
Yingxue smiled in a clever way, her eyes were like water flowing, her eyes were like the moon was reflected, and she owed her body and said, "Young man was really caught by Zhu Langjun. Zhu Langjun said that she had prepared two gifts for her, both of whom Yingxue, and that cart of money. The beauty and money are his beloved things. Since she is loved, it is the right thing to give to others. If the young man wants to refuse, he can only refuse."
Speaking of this, she took a step forward, and the horn of her clothes brushed against Liu Nong's nose, and she smiled and said, "I don't know, Xiao Langjun, what should I refuse?"
Liu Nong smelled the sweet fragrance on her body, her face was slightly embarrassed, and she thought to herself: Zhu Tao, Zhu Tao, you are afraid that I will reject your property, so you deliberately teased me like this. If I really wanted both of them, I don’t know if you would be heartbroken, but it will definitely fulfill your elegant name. If you fulfill your elegant name, it will not fulfill me. I am still young.
Liu Cheng stood beside Liu Nong, looking at his young husband leisurely, looking at how his young husband would choose. Liu Nong did not let them wait for a long time, and bowed to the county office: "I dare not give it to you, I need to thank you for your family, and Yingxue's little wife, please come back."
"It's true!"
Yingxue smiled softly, and no longer spoke, she turned around and entered the ox cart without any delay. This was the time of Jin Dynasty. With the right appetite, Zhu Tao could lose money and get rid of the ox. Even a maid had his own temperament, so he could not compare with him.
