Master of the House [System]

Because they were out of tune with the guests who came to celebrate the birthday, they sat there all the time and no one came to greet them. It would be a bit embarrassing or awkward for others, but the three of them didn't react at all at the time, and sat there by themselves We had a good time chatting.

The host, Du Hongyun, also breathed a sigh of relief. These three people suddenly came to celebrate his birthday. He didn't know how to entertain them, and what attitude to entertain them. No, it's too indifferent. The other party is the emperor and general of the empire anyway, which really gave this person who has done research all his life a headache for a while.

One of his students also came to him and asked, "Teacher, what are they doing here?"

"Maybe they want pottery or porcelain, don't worry about it, just treat them well." Du Hongyun waved to him.

The young student looked back at those people again. He was different from Du Hongyun. This young man hated their so-called "superior people" the most. Moreover, in his eyes, these people who wielded knives and used guns The warriors were really vulgar, which made him look down on him even more. He snorted disdainfully in his heart, and said to his teacher with a smile on his face: "Teacher, don't worry, leave it to me to entertain them."

"That's fine, you can go and talk with them." Du Hongyun didn't know what he was thinking, so he asked him to entertain them.

The young man went to Du Hongyun's tea room and asked someone to take out 24 tea sets, held them in their hands, and followed him to the place where the three were sitting.

Bu Qingcang and the others were chatting when they suddenly saw him walking with two waiters carrying tea sets, and they all looked over curiously.

Ye Fengxie saw that the man brought a bunch of bottles and cans, and there were spoon-like things, even a small stove, and couldn't help but joked: "What are you doing with these things? You plan to use this for us. Do you cook?"

After all, Hong Yi was a successor trained by the royal family, and he still knew the tea set. Hearing him say it, he immediately felt extremely ashamed. The generals of the empire are so uneducated, and they are really ashamed to face others.

The young man glanced at him, smiled immediately, and said: "I heard that Major General Ye is a very remarkable supernatural being, he should be inseparable from tea, why don't you even know these things?" He said and looked around At a glance, there were a few people from the tea industry sitting next to him, and they all looked over after hearing the words, their eyes were a little disdainful, but they all knew his identity and didn't want to cause trouble, so they behaved more cryptically.

Bu Qingcang looked up at him, patted Ye Fengxie's hand, and said to him gently: "These are tea sets, and he brought a total of 24 pieces, named tea stove, tea baking, tea tripod, Teapot, tea mill, tea grinder, teaspoon..."

He patiently showed him 24 tea sets, one by one, and carefully told him the function and usage of each tea set, without any intention of disliking him for being uneducated.

Ye Fengxie naturally also saw that the young man was deliberately targeting him, so he listened carefully when Bu Qingcang explained to him, and took the trouble to write down all these things, so as not to encounter such a situation next time. It's okay to embarrass yourself, but don't embarrass Mr. Bu, who has a lot of common sense.

Seeing that Bu Qingcang knew these tea sets very well, the young man asked people to put everything on the table in front of them, and said to Bu Qingcang with a smile: "This gentleman knows these tea sets so well. Is it very good? How about showing them a hand?"

"No problem." Bu Qingcang smiled gently, took the tea set, and gracefully washed the tea, brewed it, sealed the pot, and divided the cups...

His whole set of movements was unhurried, those complicated procedures and utensils seemed to have life in his hands, following his palm movements gracefully and freely, and finally poured the tea soup with the perfect color, aroma and taste into Wenxiang He poured a [-]% full cup and gave it to all the guests who were attracted by his actions or the fragrance of the tea. Those who knew tea immediately took the teacup and sniffed the lingering fragrance in it, all showing expressions of enjoyment.

Although Hong Yi likes to tease people on weekdays, he is a serious noble boy. He is completely different from Ye Fengxie, and his movements of drinking tea are also very elegant. Tea is for enjoyment, and I thought they were lying, and I finally felt it today."

Others also admired it one after another. Some of them are also masters in the tea ceremony. Bu Qingcang's movements are not as standard as those in the textbook, but they are natural. For a person who just loves the tea ceremony It's already pretty good.

"It's really enjoyable. Did you learn from a special teacher before?" An old man next to him asked with a smile.

"I'm sorry, it's just that I like to play with myself on weekdays. When I was a child, I learned the tea ceremony from a teacher who taught me tea ceremony for a period of time. It's nothing more than brazenly playing tricks in front of the masters." Bu Qingcang smiled modestly at everyone.

"Not bad, young people don't like this old routine anymore, alas." The old man couldn't help sighing.

Bu Qingcang comforted him a few words, and the two talked happily.

Du Hongyun's young student's face was a little ugly. He originally wanted to see the jokes of these people, but he didn't expect them to be a little real!

Ye Fengxie glanced at him and didn't bother to pay attention to him, it's just a little kid with no hair growing up.

After Bu Qingcang finished dealing with the old man, he turned around and saw Ye Fengxie looking at him with bright eyes, and asked with a smile, "Anything you want to express?"

Ye Fengxie immediately gave him a thumbs up and exclaimed, "You're so handsome!"

"Then your husband is so handsome, would you like to offer a kiss?" Bu Qingcang asked with a smile.

Ye Fengxie stared at him in astonishment, looked around, and said in a low voice: "It's a big crowd! You still have to be shameless!"

"Naturally, it's more important to want benefits, so what's the point of having face?" Bu Qingcang kept laughing inwardly.

Ye Fengxie said seriously: "You are shameless and I want more! Stay away from me!"

"Your words really make my husband sad." Bu Qingcang looked at him with a heartbroken expression.

Ye Fengxie couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

His Majesty the Emperor was sitting at the side listening to the corner, and couldn't help but interjected at this moment: "You should be gentle anyway, and be careful that your husband doesn't want you if you are so aggressive."

Ye Fengxie's forehead twitched, and he turned around and glared at him, "None of your business! Shut up!"

"Loyal words are harsh to the ear and good for deeds!" His Majesty the Emperor said to him earnestly, "I tell you, if you are not gentle, your husband will be snatched away sooner or later." He pointed to a person sitting not far in front of the two of them. tell him.

Ye Fengxie followed his gaze, and saw a very beautiful woman looking in their direction, her eyes vaguely fell on Bu Qingcang, her brows frowned.

They didn't sit for long, and when it was time for the dinner, they sat down according to the host's arrangement.But because the young man who entertained them hated them very much, he arranged their seats far away, and deliberately arranged a few people away from each other, so they didn't sit together. After all, the emperor is the emperor, so he was specially invited to the main table , Ye Fengxie arranged next to him, but he was not willing to separate two tables from Bu Qingcang, and insisted on sitting with Bu Qingcang. The young student was very angry, but he didn't dare to express it in front of the teacher. Neglecting him, he could only hold back his anger and invite Bu Qingcang to the main table.

Before the feast, everyone gave their birthday gifts to the old man one after another. People in this era like to open gifts in front of everyone. Du Hongyun is in good health, so he personally opened the gifts one by one, no matter how expensive the gift is. Or not, he acted like it very much.

His student has always hated Bu Qingcang and others, and sat beside him to help him collect the presents. When the things were almost collected, he smiled and said: "It's rare for His Majesty the Emperor and Major General Ye to come today, teacher can't Forget about them."

"Yes, yes, His Majesty the Emperor and the Major General are distinguished guests. Du really didn't expect that, please forgive me for the poor hospitality!" Du Hongyun hurriedly turned to the emperor and others, and said very apologetically.

"Master Du, you are polite." His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand at him, signaling that he should not be polite. "We came here this time to ask Master Du to teach us something. It is our fault to come here uninvited."

His student interjected with a smile: "Is the matter you want to ask for advice related to pottery and utensils? Then you are late. The teacher said that he does not plan to do it himself after the age of 60. Why don't you go to other places to ask?" Ask some masters?" There are quite a few masters who came to celebrate Du Hongyun's birthday, and he said that if they didn't express their views on the spot, or showed contempt for the other masters, they would probably offend people.

His Majesty the Emperor glanced at him, then turned his head to look at Bu Qingcang, and said with a smile: "The things belong to you, you can decide for yourself."

Seeing that they didn't seem to be giving gifts, the others all looked at each other, not knowing what they were going to do.

The young student was also a little confused, and looked at the three of them suspiciously.

Bu Qingcang nodded slightly to everyone, then got up and walked in front of Du Hongyun, smiled and said to him: "Master Du, I have something that I would like to ask you to look at, I think you should be interested in it."

"What is it?" Du Hongyun was very kind to the junior, and didn't care about his excessive demands.

"Yes, does this gentleman have any treasures? Why don't you show them to everyone to appreciate?"

"Yes, yes, don't hide good things." Others followed suit.

The young student also looked at him with a spectacle.

Everyone in Bu Qingcang smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, this baby cannot be announced to the public for the time being, please forgive me."

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard the words, but when they thought that it was the emperor and a major general who came with him, they more or less had some guesses of their own in their hearts. Those who were knowledgeable naturally shut up and stopped asking more questions, and those who were not knowledgeable just muttered Forget it twice, only the young student was too young and impulsive, and couldn't help but sneered and said: "How many things do you big men keep from the public? Secretly, one or two with the clown Like..."

Ye Fengxie narrowed his eyes and glanced at him, then sneered, "So what if I told you, can you help me go to war?"

The young student's face was livid with a sentence, and he wanted to refute his words loudly, but his teacher stepped on the table. He immediately choked his words, his lips trembled with anger, and he didn't slow down for a while. Come on.

"Haha, the young man doesn't speak out loud, Major General Ye, don't be as knowledgeable as him." Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Du Hongyun hurried out with a smile to smooth things over.

"Of course, I'm teasing him." Ye Fengxie smiled at him.I don't know if it's because he has killed too many enemies on the battlefield, or his temperament or even his appearance is sharper, as long as he doesn't really want to smile, that smile looks a bit permeable, and it's easy to look at it He was completely suppressed.

Du Hongyun gave a dry laugh, and looked away from his eyes.

Bu Qingcang took out the box he brought. The box was made of wood with delicate carvings on it. be so cautious."

"Okay, okay." Du Hongyun nodded in embarrassment. In fact, he was still somewhat displeased, but he covered it up.

Bu Qingcang smiled, moved the box in front of him, and then only opened an opening towards him.

Du Hongyun originally had the attitude of dealing with things and not causing trouble, so he sent people out of the house, but when he saw the dirt in the opening, he took a deep breath and stood up directly from his chair. She looked at the things inside with a face full of shock, and tremblingly stretched out her hand to touch it.

But Bu Qingcang closed the box and took it away, and Du Hongyun looked at him eagerly as if someone had snatched his grandson, "This, this, this, can you show me this again. "At the end of his speech, there was a hint of begging in his tone.

His appearance made others puzzled, and they were even more curious about what was in Bu Qingcang's box, but they just said that it would not be made public, and they were really embarrassed to ask.

In fact, it wasn't just them, even Ye Fengxie and Hong Yi were very surprised. Hong Yi had never seen what Bu Qingcang prepared, and Ye Fengxie didn't know it at all, so both of them were guessing, Bu Qingcang Did he hide his little grandson in that box, otherwise how could he provoke him like this?

Bu Qingcang nodded to Du Hongyun, and said with a smile: "Of course, but why don't we find a quiet place to talk about it?"

"Of course." Du Hongyun nodded again and again. He turned around in front of the chair before remembering that his study was the safest, so he said quickly, "Go to my study, is that okay?"

"Yes." Bu Qingcang nodded, went to hold his arm, and let him lead the way to his study upstairs.

Ye Fengxie was a little worried about Bu Qingcang, but he was also worried about leaving the emperor alone in the crowd, hesitating whether to bring the emperor along with him.

"Feng Xie, wait for me downstairs, I'll be back soon." Bu Qingcang turned around and said to him.

Ye Fengxie clicked his tongue, thinking that Bu Qingcang was still wearing the safety bracelet he had given him on his wrist, so he could only rest assured that he went upstairs alone and waited downstairs.

Du Hongyun led Bu Qingcang into the study, and then anxiously looked back at the box in his hand. If he hadn't been born gentle, he probably would have snatched it long ago.

Bu Qingcang didn't intentionally torture him, and opened the box in his hand as soon as he entered the door, and handed it to him.

Du Hongyun held the box in his hands, trembling and stretched out his hand to touch the soil inside, but as if he was afraid that he would crush the soil, he stroked it carefully, and murmured: "Rich soil, rich soil! , black purple mud...I really never thought that I would have the opportunity to see it in my lifetime..."

Rich soil, also known as purple sand ore, purple sand mud, etc., is the main raw material for making purple sand pots and purple sand utensils.In addition to purple clay pots, there are also various handicrafts such as purple clay pots and purple clay vases.Tea culture has a long history in the ancient oriental countries of the ancient earth, so purple clay teapots are the most common. Its characteristic is that it does not take away the aroma of tea and has no smell of cooked soup. The wall of the pot can absorb tea gas. Tea fragrance.After being fired correctly, the purple sand mud forms special pores, which can not only breathe and enjoy fragrance, but also retain water and heat. In this way, the temperature, color, aroma and taste of the tea soup can be well preserved, and it has the reputation of "the best tea set in the world"[Note] .

Zisha clay was originally a rare treasure when it was on the earth. Only a few places produced this kind of clay, so some people call it rich and noble soil, which means that if you have this kind of soil, you can be rich and prosperous. In this era , People have been away from the earth for thousands of years, and the purple sand crafts that were originally handed down have already become antiques and locked in layers of vaults. In reality, there are very few that can be seen, let alone making them They have long been turned into a thin piece of paper, or a string of simple data, deposited in the vast history of human civilization, and will not be easily dug out by people.

Du Hongyun held the box in both hands, and tears filled his eyes at some point.

"Master, don't get excited, sit down and rest for a while and watch again." Bu Qingcang was a little worried that his excessive excitement would affect his body, so he helped him sit on the chair.

"Where did you get these things?" Du Hongyun took the towel he handed over and wiped the corners of his eyes, and finally smiled sincerely when he looked up at him.

"Feng Xie bought it unconsciously, but I have to ask Master Du to keep it a secret for us for the time being." Bu Qingcang sat opposite him with a smile.

Du Hongyun nodded, agreeing to help him keep it secret, and then said with some surprise: "It's really hard for a young man like you to know these things. I'm afraid few people like this kind of old things will know their usefulness, right? "His words are completely questionable.You must know that even among his students, not many of them know this kind of pottery clay that only exists in legends.

Du Hongyun is an out-and-out literati, an artist, and his personality is not as convoluted as a businessman. If he has any questions, he will ask them directly. Bu Qingcang replied with a smile: "I learned ancient tea culture from a tea ceremony teacher when I was young, so Know a thing or two.” In fact, when he lived with his grandfather when he was very young in his previous life, his grandfather had a friend who specialized in the research and production of this kind of purple clay crafts, and he also saw this kind of thing commonly known as "rich soil" with his own eyes. , he himself also learned to make pottery and porcelain for a period of time. Of course, things like purple sand clay would not be willing to let him lose.

"Not bad, Mr. Bu Xiao is really knowledgeable. It seems that the rumors are not all falsehoods." Du Hongyun praised again and again. The rumor he was referring to was that Bu Qin had taken a lot of degrees before he was 30 years old. matter.

Bu Qingcang said a few words modestly, and then turned the topic back to the purple sand clay, "I still have some of this kind of clay in my hand, and I am planning to make a batch of purple sand utensils. I wonder if Master Du is interested."

"Uh, can I participate too?" Du Hongyun couldn't help becoming excited again when he heard the words. He originally thought that it would be a luxury enough for him to see this legendary "purple sand mud" in his life. How can he not be excited about making a batch of tea sets by himself? !

"Of course, if you can get Master Du's personal guidance, I don't think anyone will refuse." Bu Qingcang nodded with a smile.

"Okay, okay." Du Hongyun nodded repeatedly, stood up from the chair quickly, and asked, "When do you plan to start making? I, I have to prepare first."

"If it is convenient for Master Du, the matter of the purple clay pot is very important. We are going to start as soon as possible, but before that, we must ask Master Du to sign a confidentiality contract and help us select a group of suitable students to teach. The emperor and I Your Majesty and Feng Xie have discussed it, and will give you [-]% of the profits from this batch of purple sand teapots. In the future, the students taught and guided by you will help us make purple sand tea sets, and they will also give you a certain share. Cheng, what do you think?"

"No problem." Du Hongyun nodded and agreed without even thinking about it. He is now famous in the Milky Way, and his money is already outside his body, and he is lucky enough to make a purple sand pot by himself. ah!

"Students, can I bring some of my own students?" He knows his own students quite well, and it's easy to bring them along.

"Of course, but in the end we have to investigate the character background and character. After all, Feng Xie and His Majesty the Emperor have participated in this matter, so we can't be negligent." It's all included, especially the young man who dared to confront Feng Xie just now, it's one thing whether he will reveal the news, and he shouldn't be disgusted if he is recruited back.

"Okay, okay, then I'll go and prepare first." Du Hongyun didn't think so much, he only had the excitement and joy of being able to make a purple clay pot in his heart, so he naturally had to make good preparations. Recently, all invitations have to be postponed. If you have family affairs, you have to arrange them in advance, so don't delay things when the time comes.

When the two came out of the house, everything was settled. Du Hongyun even temporarily signed a non-disclosure contract with Bu Qingcang, who had been prepared for a long time. Both of them were beaming, and Du Hongyun was even more red. They all smiled and narrowed their eyes.

His student glanced at Bu Qingcang suspiciously, guessing what he and his master had just said in the study, which made the teacher so excited.

Bu Qingcang returned to Ye Fengxie, still holding the elegant wooden box in his hand. For the sake of safety, he did not leave the things to Du Hongyun, so his birthday gift to Du Hongyun was to hand it over with a pile of mud. Give him a look, yes, the birthday gift is to "take a look"...

Seeing that he was safe, Ye Fengxie was relieved, and when she sat beside her, she asked, "How's the matter?"

"It's settled, we have to go back and get ready." Bu Qingcang smiled at him.

Hong Yi next to him hadn't figured out which song he sang, and asked curiously, "What exactly did you show him?"

"You'll know when we start working." Bu Qingcang has always kept secrets very well. When he doesn't want to say anything, even Ye Fengxie won't reveal a word.

Hong Yi had no choice but to turn his attention to his major general of the empire. Ye Fengxie spread his hands at him, expressing that he didn't know, and of course he wouldn't tell you if he knew. If you want to keep it secret, you must keep it secret!

Hong Yi: "..." What's the use of this kind of general who only knows the love of his sons and daughters!
