"Your Highness, do you still remember tasting tea that day? Today is a good time, would Your Highness be willing to accompany you?"

"Haha, what's so difficult about that? This palace accepts you."

Zhao Yi's generous and hearty voice echoed in the air.

"Xiang Nong, go and fetch the tea set."

The aroma was so strong that the tea set was brought in after a while, and Jiang Yushu took it over and put it all in place.

Zhao Yifeng knelt on the ground with a look of astonishment: "Master Yu, this teapot has never been seen in this hall."

The man held the pot, and said leisurely: "I said that I want to drink tea with His Highness, so I want to treat you with good things, so that you can show your sincerity."

Zhao Yifeng: "This pot is unusual, it is very small and exquisite, but it has a story."

Jiang Yushu raised his head and smiled to himself, his hands kept moving: "Your Highness, you are smart!"

Zhao Yifeng pouted unnaturally.

The man held the pot and explained calmly: "This pot is also called rib pattern pot. The whole body is covered with landscape textures. The common name is also called 'Chong Can', and there is also 'Su Can'. It is the smallest type of Yixing Zisha teapot."

"The smallest?"

Jiang Yushu waited quietly for the fire, and then said: "Although this pot is small, it can cover the universe."

Zhao Yifeng only focused on the story, "What is the story?"

Jiang Yushu raised his head lightly, squinted at him, and finally said slowly: "It is said that a hundred years ago, there was a village without water for many years, and the peasant women had to go to a place twenty miles away from home to fetch water. One day, a woman in the village On the way back from fetching water, I saw a white-haired old man, his eyes were blind, the corners of his lips were broken, and he only breathed a sigh of relief, begging for help from a woman. The woman thought it was difficult to fetch water, so she immediately hesitated."

"The woman didn't save the old man!" Zhao Yifeng said bluntly, and gave the answer. Jiang Yushu didn't want to pause for a while, and then heard Zhao Yifeng's decisive answer. absolute!"

"How is that?"

Jiang Yushu smiled slightly: "Your Highness, don't be impatient. Brewing and drinking tea should focus on nourishing the mind and nourishing the spirit. The heaven and the earth are one. Please look, Your Highness, surrounded by cherry blossoms, covered with emerald green, and the spring is fine. It's a rare beautiful scenery, making tea is the best. Your Highness, calm down , and listen to the minister."

Zhao Yifeng was ashamed, and he blushed for a moment because of his impatience. After restraining himself, "Then what happened next?"

Jiang Yushu saw that the stove was on fire, so he immediately scooped up clear water, filled a pot, and continued to cook, "The woman hesitated, thinking that it was not easy to get water, so she raised her feet and prepared to leave, and did not give any help." Zhao Yifeng laughed instantly when he heard this. Yes, with a smug expression that I said I had the answer a long time ago.

Jiang Yushu shook his head, then said with a smile: "The woman saw that the old man was still breathing. She couldn't bear him and died of thirst on the side of the road. She thought that she would go one more way, but the old man's life would be gone once he died, so he immediately went back the same way. Give the old man all the water in the clay pot, and the old man was saved."

The man sighed, still curious in his words: "So that's the case, what does it have to do with this pot?"

"Your Highness, don't worry."

"The old man drank the water and his life was saved. The woman saw that there was not a drop of water left, so she went back the same way and went to fetch water again."

"Why does she insist on fetching water?" Zhao Yifeng interjected questioningly.

"In a woman's house, the mother-in-law is very fierce. If the woman has a little trouble, she will be beaten and scolded, and she will say that she will quit the book and go to court. The woman has no choice but to get up early and be greedy every day. It's all spent."

"That's how it is. Her mother-in-law is too powerful." The man was not aggrieved, and his resentment was light.

Jiang Yushu sighed, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you can't say that. It's just that human affairs are not easy. She can't do anything about it."

"What then?"

When Jiang Yushu saw that the first pot of tea was boiled, he held the teapot in his hand and poured it into the tea table, scooped up some more water and continued to boil.

"The woman thought about her mother-in-law's blame. When she came back from fetching water, she didn't see the old man. The mountain road was slow, and there was a deserted village on the left and a cliff on the right. The old man disappeared like that. The woman was shocked. She thought it was getting late, and she was afraid of wolves. Hubao, hurry up and go back to the village."

"Did the old man be rescued, or fell off a cliff?"

The man glanced at the tea, and then said: "When the woman returns home, the mother-in-law still scolds her, and the harsh words can't be heard. The woman is an honest person, and accepts it out of filial piety.

From the next day, when I went to the courtyard, I saw the old man from yesterday. The old man was rescued by her. Unlike yesterday, his strength recovered. When he saw the woman, he wanted to ask for water again.Seeing that he was helpless and helpless, the woman told the old man to wait for the water to come back. "

"Why did the old man come again and pester him endlessly?" Zhao Yifeng was not happy.

Jiang Yushu chuckled: "No way"

"When the woman came back from fetching water, the old man waited quietly in the courtyard. The woman handed the water to him, but the old man didn't recommend it, so he took it. The water that the woman took after traveling a long distance disappeared in an instant. The woman had no choice but to return to the original way. It was already dark, and the mother-in-law beat and scolded again, the woman became impatient and vowed not to save the old man."

"My hall said that if things go on like this, I will lose all patience."

Jiang Yushu lowered his head to look at the tea on the stone table, because he thought it was already boiling, so he poured the tea again and started to boil again.

"Women don't want to give, but how can they ever think about it? The old man seems to be staying in the woman's home. He only drinks water and eats nothing every day. Every day when the woman wakes up at home, she will see the old man. The old man always She drank the first bucket of water in the morning, and as time went on, the woman also treated the old man as if she were her own."

Seeing that the water was boiling, Jiang Yushu immediately took out a cup. The boiling water was like a cup. When the cup was full, he added another cup and waited for it to cool down.

"Speak quickly!" Zhao Yifeng urged.

"Your Highness, listen to stories and drink tea together, and don't be impatient. Huh?"

Zhao Yifeng sat upright, his face blushing.

"The woman felt uneasy and treated the old man, but she still had to endure the beating and scolding by her mother-in-law. She was exhausted physically and mentally, and became thinner day by day. The old man saw everything in his eyes. One morning, when the woman walked into the courtyard, the old man was no longer there. It was an old man, dressed in white, with a fairy-like demeanor, holding a whisk in his hand. He was originally a fairy.

Seeing this, the woman was terrified, fearing that the man would take her life. The old man thought of the woman's kindness, and immediately gave her a teapot. The woman didn't know, and the old man smiled and replied, "I was originally the Jade Emperor who sat down on the fairy grass. The food of nectar was demoted to the mortal world to practice, and waited for someone who was destined to give half a month of water to save me. You saved me, and I will give this pot as a gift to repay my kindness'.

The woman took the teapot tremblingly, and saw that it was small and not like the usual things—it was huge and round, thinking that the gift from the immortal must be precious, so she tried to hide it. "

"that's it?"

Jiang Yushu smiled slightly, his moon-white robe fluttered, his movements were smooth and flowing, without dragging mud.

Poured out the cooling tea on the stone table, took the pot again, rinsed all the cups with boiling water, checked the fire, saw that the fire was too hot, took tweezers, picked up a piece of charcoal, and scooped out the deep water that had been prepared. Store snow water, put it into the pot, and start to boil.

Zhao Yifeng saw that he was concentrating on his mind, focused on playing tricks, and kept silent. He was very curious about what happened to the woman and what the teapot had to do with it.

"What happened to that woman?"

Jiang Yushu raised his head, looked at the tea, and began talking.

"The woman hid the teapot until her mother-in-law found out. The mother-in-law saw the teapot as precious and cherished it even more, so she put it indoors every day for viewing.

The woman was still fetching water and returning home, she was very thirsty, when she saw the tea on the table, she poured a cup, the tea was cool but sweet, and relieved her fatigue, the woman was overjoyed, looked carefully, the whole body was smooth, only then did she realize that the pot was a gift from the old man My own, I immediately poured the water in the teapot, but something unexpected happened, the water in the teapot seemed to be gushing like a spring, and it gushed non-stop.

The woman was shocked, felt the treasure, and hid it privately.When the woman and mother-in-law returned home, they saw that the house was full of tea, and wanted to scold them, so they served the neighbors who came to fetch water. The woman took out teapots and gave them away one by one. Later, the woman's reputation for benevolence and filial piety became prominent, and the village no longer lacked water. One village and one happy. "

After Jiang Yushu finished speaking, he seemed to be tired. He looked at the teapot, and the green smoke was curling up. He lifted the pot and asked in a polite voice, "Your Highness, what kind of tea do you like?"

The man said without hesitation: "Thousand Island Jade Leaf"

Jiang Yushu paused with the hand holding the pot, and poured the tea on the stone table, stained with fine dust. The man smiled, and took the thousand island jade leaves with his left hand, put them into a pottery urn, added water to brew, and covered the pot. "Your Highness, I used to like Gentleman's Tea, Qiandao Jade Leaf, just like its name, the tea is clean and free of impurities, the tea leaves are all ups and downs in the water, and the clear water and green leaves are very clear when viewed from a distance."

Zhao Yifeng paused when he saw him holding the pot, felt helpless, and smiled to himself: "Of course, the jade leaves of Qiandao, the clear water, the jade leaves are fluttering, like a gentleman, warm and light like water, not stained by worldly colors."

Jiang Yushu smiled back: "Your Highness, I am your bosom friend in tea."

The man smiled slightly, his heart wavering.

The man poured the tea in the earthen pot into the white jade blue and white cup, turned the cup upside down and turned it back and forth three times, the tea was good and fragrant.

"Your Highness, try it."

Zhao Yifeng held the cup, tasted it, and frowned.

"How is it, Your Highness? Not to your liking?"

The man shook his head with a deep expression.

Jiang Yushu said with a smile: "Your Highness, the spirit was absorbed by the story of my minister, so I can't taste it. If I don't tell the result, I guess Your Highness won't be able to taste the taste of this tea, haha!"

Zhao Yifeng smiled, put down the cup in an instant, as if waiting for the details.Jiang Yushu shook his head, and the white jade glass hairpin stood still in his black hair, as if his heart was firm.

"Her mother-in-law didn't like her being kind and benevolent. One day, when she was arguing with that woman, the teapot broke and flooded the sky in an instant.

The woman pieced together the pieces, holding her hands tightly to stop the water. The woman was afraid that the water would come out again, so she held it tightly all year round. When the woman died, she didn't let go of her hands. A statue stood at the entrance of the village, but there was no more water in the pot. Anhydrous is desirable.

In order to get water like back then, the villagers kneaded soil to burn the kiln, trying to restore the original pot, but every time the pot was fired, there were cracks, like the veins and veins of the human body.Also called tendon pot. "

"At this time, the hall knows that this pot has such an origin. It's a pity, a pity..."

"Your Highness, now that you know the result, you can drink tea with peace of mind, otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of your heart?"

The man was hearty and generous: "Haha, good, this hall accepts you."

"Your Highness, do you know that making tea is taboo?"

"My hall is very curious, let's talk about it."

"No, I can't talk about it because my heart is not calm and my breath is not smooth when I make tea today."

"Your Highness, please!"

The man holds the cup, takes a sip, settles impetuousness, retreats from the noise, closes his eyes and touches lightly.back again

"Where the tea is eaten, the fragrance will remain on the lips and teeth, the taste will be green and astringent, the end will be clear and peaceful, the spirit will be clear, good tea, good tea."

"Your Highness, drink a few more glasses."

"No, I'm afraid that after drinking too much, the things I eat will be tasteless, and everything in the world will lose its color. Without Qingyu's tea, this hall can't survive."

When Jiang Yushu saw that he was a rascal, secretly and explicitly, he was talking about letting him make tea, so he just smiled and didn't speak.

Zhao Yifeng drank another cup, staring at the rim of the cup, unable to see clearly.

"Qingyu would like to accompany the hall to make tea and chat about life all the time?"

The man smiled amiably, and his fair face was smudged by the scent of tea, like a lotus springing out of water under the caress of a June breeze.

"Your Highness, you are my tea friend and bosom friend, aren't you?"

Zhao Yifeng smiled.

Whether it's a bosom friend or a bosom friend,

At least, you still accept it.

How nice it is to be by your side.

Jiang Yushu looked around and let out a long sigh.

I'm afraid it will be hard to see this time!
