The scumbag son-in-law dressed as a husband

Lang Jun's voice is delicate and sweet, and it turns a thousand times.

Xie Shu lowered his brows and smiled softly: "I was wrong, I should be called Fu Lang."

Yu Chuxi's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes flickered. He stopped talking to him and asked people to bring all the utensils needed to make tea.

This ordinary family needs tea to receive guests on weekdays, and cooking tea is a kind of elegance.

There is an extremely cumbersome method in the process of making tea, which is to first grind the tea cake into powder, adjust it into a tea paste, and then brew it with hot water. This is called ordering tea.

Of course, not everyone knows how to order tea. How can ordinary people have the time to be so particular about it?Only wealthy and leisurely people or literati will study more.

Yu Chuxi would naturally do it too, but he didn't have much thought about it.

But when Xie Shu mentioned it like this today, Yu Chuxi also felt a little bit of elegance.

After a while, Fenghe brought a set of tea sets. The process of ordering tea is so complicated, of course there is no shortage of utensils.

As for the most orthodox tea-ordering utensils, there are a total of twelve pieces. Although Xie Shu saw Wang Jing using them at the teacher's house before, he still couldn't help but marvel at the ingenuity in them.

Yu Chuxi said lightly: "The key to this tea is the quality of tea powder, water quality, heat and tea sets. Let's talk about tea powder first, and white tea is the top tea."

As Yu Chuxi said, he opened the tea cage where the tea balls were stored, and took out the tea cakes inside. He saw that the tea cakes were really as Mr. Lang said, covered with pekoe, like silver and snow, Xie Shu also I recognized it, this is the silver needle of silver needles in white tea.

Then, Yu Chuxi picked up the tea mallet and smashed it into small pieces, then ground it into powder with a small stone, and finally took out Luohe, which sifted the tea powder, and filtered it again. When he did this, his movements were light and soothing, so that Xie Shu could see clearly.

Xie Shu sat at the side and looked straight at Lang Jun. When Xie Shu watched Wang Jing order tea before, he only felt that his movements were smooth and natural, but today when he saw Lang Jun, Xie Shu knew that there was another kind of tea called Qingyun cover. In the month, the wind returns to the snow.

When Yu Chuxi finished grinding the tea powder, seeing Xie Shu's eyes were fixed and serious, he couldn't help but smiled and said, "Why don't you try it too?"

Xie Shu shook his head, and said seriously: "It's still not possible, the tea powder that I grind is as fine as snow, but I'm afraid that the tea powder I grind will be as rough as wheat grains, which will tarnish you. Wait for Lang Jun to order After the tea is over, would you please guide me personally again?"

How can anyone say that about themselves?

Yu Chuxi was amused by him, his dimples bloomed, and in the floating candlelight, his temple hair was like clouds, shining brightly.

Then Yu Chuxi continued: "The finer the tea powder, the better, so that when you order the tea, it can enter the water lightly, and the surface is smooth, showing the color of the tea itself. This level is not bad. As for the water quality, Mountain water, river water, and well water. Therefore, it is best to use mountain spring water to make tea, but mountain spring water is inconvenient to obtain, so under normal circumstances, well water is used. But it is even better than mountain spring water, which is Heavenly spring water, as the saying goes, lightness is the most precious water, for example, the snow water that fell on the plum blossoms every other year is very good."

It turns out that there is such a saying.

Xie Shu looked at a small azure pot that Lang Jun took out, and he understood that this was the snow water that Lang Jun said. The ancient environment had never been polluted, and whether it was mountain spring water or well water, it was very good, but these are in people's eyes. There is no natural spring water, that is, the four things of "rain, dew, snow and frost" are cleaner.

The white snow is condensed at low temperature, it is pure white and flawless, and it is also the lightest.

Yu Chuxi took out half of the snow water with a wooden ladle, put it into the tea kettle, simmered it over the fire, and waited for it to boil. At the same time, he took out a black tea cup and poured the tea powder into it. When holding up the teacup, he slightly raised his eyebrows and said: "This is a teacup made by my Yu family, named 'Jianzhan', the tea color is white, and the cup should be black. This cup is exquisite and fine like jade. It's been made, it's been hot for a long time, it's hard to get cold, look, how about it?"

Xie Shu naturally nodded in praise, Mr. Lang has always had the best taste, so there is no need to have any doubts.

Seeing him praising herself in such a sincere tone again, Yu Chuxi felt her ears burn slightly, and continued: "The heat is the most difficult thing, if it's not enough, the tea powder will float, if it's over, the tea powder will sink again , it is best just after the second boil."

After a while, as expected, a small airflow began to rise above the water surface, and some small bubbles popped out from time to time, but Yu Chuxi still held his breath and did not make any movements, only fine droplets of water were blown out of his face by the heat.

After a while, the bottom edge of the teapot was bubbling continuously like a fountain. Yu Chuxi's eyes lit up, and he immediately scooped up a spoonful of boiling water and poured a spoonful of tea into the powdered tea he had just made. Dot it, make it into a paste, and then start to order tea.

However, Lang Jun’s ordering tea is completely different. He shakes the tea whisk lightly and pours hot water at the same time. The water veins change and become disillusioned, and finally the milky white tea powder is like auspicious snow, and the lines are like sparse stars and pale moons.

Yu Chuxi's eyes were bright, she took a short breath, and then said with a smile: "This is the skill of dividing tea."

And Xie Shu's eyes were fixed on the teacup, and then returned to Yu Chuxi's face. If Mr. Lang hadn't shown it, Xie Shu had never thought about it before. When it is brought to the extreme, such a wonderful scene can be drawn with tea veins and veins through the reaction of tea powder and boiling water.

Yu Chuxi glanced at him lightly, and said in a manly voice: "If you learn how to share tea, you can fight tea with others. I heard that you literati like to hold tea parties, and you will fight for the top and bottom. If you know how to share tea How difficult is it to bite a cup? But there are very few of you who know how to share tea, do you think this is strange?"

Xie Shu heard Langjun teasing himself like this, not only did his smile not decrease, but it became more intense. He couldn't help holding Langjun's hand, pinching it back and forth, and whispered in Langjun's ear: "This is actually true. It's not surprising that Mr. Lang doesn't know something. There are very few people in this world who are as smart as Mr. Lang...and I am even more stupid. I hope Mr. Lang will take pity on you and teach me. …”

Yu Chuxi had never seen Xie Shu like this, and he still used the word "pity", as if he disagreed and was bullying him.

But how can anyone teach...

In the end, Yu Chuxi still didn't break free from his hand, but gently held it back.

Xie Shu looked at him with a smile, never feeling so satisfied in his heart.

It turns out that this is the wind, flowers, snow and moon, singing together.

After a few days, Xie Shu began to draw up matters for the literary conference.

In this era, literary clubs and poetry clubs are very popular, and everyone often gathers friends through literature, which is considered elegant.

However, Xie Shu found that most of these gatherings would become arty, especially some gathering places are set on cruise ships, restaurants, not limited to hundreds of plays, jugglers, divas and actors, called discussing poetry, but in fact It's just fun.

Xie Shu didn't like this kind of atmosphere, and since he wanted to make this article famous, he naturally wanted to be different.

Xie Shu thought for a long time and decided on the theme of the essay meeting.

Before that, Xie Shu still needs to choose a place to hold the cultural meeting.

I don’t know whether I should sigh or not, but the literary society in Jinling seems to value the environment very much. If it is an elegant and luxurious place, for example, the poetry meeting held by Gu Yuanke last time was chosen in the West Garden, and everyone will flock to it. They all praised it and passed it on as a grand event.

But Xie Shu didn't intend to do that, as long as the environment was clean and elegant, he didn't need to show anything to others.

It's just not easy to find the right place.

Fortunately, Mr. Lang solved the urgent need for him. There is a tea house in Yu's family called the painting building, which has always been sought after by scholars in Jinling. Snow Sencha.

However, due to the high price, there are not many people coming and going to the painting building on weekdays, so it is just right to use the painting building as the place for this literary meeting.

With the help of Mr. Lang, Xie Shu no longer worried, and started making invitations.

Xie Shu didn't plan to write this invitation by himself, it would be a waste of time and effort, not to mention that Xie Shu wanted to invite quite a few people this time.

Before, Xie Shu learned from his teacher that woodblock printing already exists, but it is not commonly used. Fortunately, the Yu family has an industry to do this, so Xie Shu started to design it.

Just like modern invitations, Xie Shu plans to divide the invitations into cover and inner pages.

On the cover, Xie Shu drew a sketch according to the appearance of the painting building. He sketched it carefully with a fine brush, and saw that the house was rubble step by step, and the grid stripes were clearly visible, as if tracing.At the same time, Xie Shu added a few bunches of plum blossoms at the corners of the picture. Plum blossoms have always been known as one of the four gentlemen, symbolizing noble character, so the plum blossoms should be thin, with well-proportioned branches, and leave the flowering part blank, which is the most wonderful mood.

As for what to write on the inside page, Xie Shu had already thought about it.

After Xie Shu finished writing, check it again before handing it over to Mr. Lang.

Yu Chuxi said curiously: "Your invitation card has other ideas. I have never seen it before. This painting is also lifelike and very vivid. I suddenly had an idea to engrave a few copies of this painting. If there are guests in the painting building Come, how about giving a pair?"

Speaking of this, Yu Chuxi shook his head again and said: "The plum blossoms in your painting are so noble, I shouldn't have thought of such an act of attracting customers..."

Xie Shu smiled softly, and said softly: "Mr. Lang likes my paintings. I am too happy to be happy. Mr. Lang has helped me a lot. Now I also hope to be useful in some way.

Mr. Lang has a very good idea, to engrave this thing as a souvenir and give it to the guests, in this way, it will leave a deep impression on the teahouse..."

Hearing what he said, Yu Chuxi's lips curled up briskly. Although he had never heard what Xie Shu meant by "souvenir", he understood the meaning, and he was praising himself again.

After these more than 100 invitations were made, Xie Shu asked Ximo to send them to Jinling Academy, as well as to other talented scholars and celebrities in Jinling.

Of course, the main people Xie Shu invited this time were people from Jinling Academy. As for those talented scholars and celebrities, they just followed the etiquette. After all, these people are so arrogant that they would not come here easily.

And Xie Shu chose Jinling Academy not only because the only people he knew, but also because his original classmates were all here.

Jinling Academy is the official school of Jinling. It can be said that all the young Confucian scholars in Jinling gather here, and most of them are selected as scholars.

In addition, it is also related to the theme of this literary meeting.

Before Xie Shu held the essay meeting, he was thinking about what kind of theme he would set. If it was too ordinary to do some essays, Xie Shu was worried whether others would come.

In fact, what Xie Shu knows is that he has nothing else to praise except for winning the first prize at the poetry meeting last time. These days, he lives in seclusion. If he hadn't become the teacher's disciple, he might have been forgotten by others. .

He suddenly wanted to hold a literary conference, and it was actually a very abrupt move to send out such a large number of invitations. Presumably, many people would guess his intentions and wait and see, so he had to come up with something that made people have to come. reason.

Soon, Xie Shu's invitation had been delivered to them.

Because some people in Jinling Academy, such as Zhang Enshi, Xu Shengkai and others, lived in the wing of the academy and didn't go home often, so it was better to send the invitations to the house, so Xie Shu asked Ximo to go to the academy to deliver theirs first.

Before class that day, Zhang Enshi and Xu Shengkai couldn't help being surprised when they heard that someone had sent an invitation to the academy, but it was still for them.

It is helpless to say that these poor children, although the state will distribute food subsidies to them every year, it is no more than four taels of silver a year.

These four taels of silver are indeed a huge sum of money in the eyes of ordinary people, but the cost of studying is far greater than imagined. Which one of the ink and paper, books and books, and the four treasures of the study does not cost money?

So these children from poor families really live in a bit of poverty.

And Jinling Academy originally recruited many wealthy landlords or sons of local officials. Although these people were not good at studying, they paid a lot of bondage money, so the academy did not refuse them.

These people usually have a lot of friends, and they often go to places like restaurants and tile shops.

Naturally, they couldn't afford to go to such a place, and at the same time looked down on these people's neglect of their studies, so the grievances between the two sides deepened.

The other party laughed at them as poor scholars, but every year there are always a few of them who can be admitted to Juren, which is a shame.

At this time, Zhang Enshi and Xu Shengkai were surprised to receive the invitation suddenly, and they were even more stunned when they heard that it was sent by Xie Shu.

The poetry meeting half a year ago is vivid in my mind, and it is still indelible in everyone's mind.

Whether it was the bustling scene in the West Garden or Xie Shu's uninterrupted peach blossom poems that amazed others, it was far beyond their imagination.

Before that, they never knew that during the three years of silence, Xie Shu had unknowingly developed such a skill.

Even Xu Shengkai was convinced and changed his impression of Xie Shu, but at that time both Xu Shengkai and Zhang Enshi were a little envious and sour towards Xie Shu, so after seeing that Xie Shu didn't contact anyone again, they I didn't get any further.

Soon after, Xie Shu became Jiang Hong's disciple again.

At this moment, there was a gap between Xie Shu and them, as radiant as Wang Jing, with a stalwart future, which was no longer within their reach, so even the emotion of envy disappeared.

However, at this time, what they didn't expect was that after several months, Xie Shu would suddenly send them invitations!

Several people couldn't help but looked at each other with complicated expressions, and were quickly attracted by the cover of the invitation.

I saw a teahouse was carefully depicted on the cover with fine brushwork, outlining the clearly visible blue bricks and green tiles, the vertical and horizontal courtyards, and a few bunches of red plums beside it, vivid and vivid on the paper.

Although the color on it is single, it is already a novel and elegant thing they have never seen before.

Moreover, the paper of this invitation card is thick and smooth, with gilding and silver painting on it. Nowadays, the paper on the market is mostly grass paper or bamboo paper, which is either uneven, or brittle and easy to break. Paper with such exquisite craftsmanship cannot be found anywhere else. If you can't buy it, you can simply collect it and enjoy it.

At this time, seeing these humble students holding the invitation cards, their expressions were different, and those people in the academy who usually did not deal with them couldn't help but join in. They couldn't appreciate the painting or not, but they just recognized the painting The teahouse here is clearly a picture painting building.

This painting building is also one of the top teahouses in Jinling. Could it be that someone invited them to that teahouse?

This is like a stone stirring up a thousand layers of waves, everyone is excited, rushing to come over to watch.

Under the urging of those people, Xu Shengkai felt awkward, but slightly relieved, and then opened the inner page of the invitation.

I saw that it was written in Qingjun Gongwen's handwriting, inviting him to participate in a literary meeting in the painting building on the [-]th day of this month's rest day. The theme of this literary meeting is 'examination-taking'.

During this period, as long as it is about the content of the exam, people with real talents and knowledge can come up to give lectures, and as the host, he will also come forward to share lectures.

Signed by: Xie Shu.

When he saw this passage, Xu Shengkai's eyes straightened. He never thought that Xie Shu would do this!

As the saying goes, if you are good at learning, you will be an official. Now that the imperial examination is booming, all scholars in the world aim to obtain fame.

This is especially true for the students of Jinling Academy. Next year is the year of the provincial examination. The students need to make preparations and strive to be admitted to Juren, but how many people can pass each time?But very few.

Even so, no one is giving up.

Everyone knows that Xie Shu has now worshiped Jiang Hong as his teacher. Three months ago, when they heard that Jiang Hong arrived in Jinling, everyone was envious.

This is not only because Jiang Hong once sacrificed wine for the Imperial Academy and taught a disciple like Lu Shuo, but also because of his high reputation and is the most famous Confucianist in the contemporary era.

Being able to worship a great Confucian as a teacher is something that countless people dream of, because once they can become a disciple of a great Confucianism, they will already stand out from the crowd.

Great Confucianism is known for being studious but impermanent, and Broadcom's internal and external illustrated books. Before that, there is also a premise that they have a collection of thousands of books, so most of them are from family studies.

The vision and knowledge of great Confucians are unimaginable, so they can look at the situation in the world and learn classics. On this basis, the imperial examination is not a problem.

Ordinary people learn the mysteries of the great Confucianism, but hide it and don't talk about it, how can they share lectures!

For a moment, Xu Shengkai didn't know what he was feeling, what was Xie Shu thinking?

But within a short moment, Xu Shengkai came back to his senses. He and Zhang Enshi looked at each other, and they both saw the determination in each other's eyes. They had to go.

They are now in their twenties, and if they can’t pass the provincial examination next year, they will have to waste time. If they are older, Jinling Academy will not accept them. At that time, they will either return to their hometown to start a private school, or go to the county. If you find a job as a master, you will have no hope of official career in your life.

So there's a little bit of hope that they'll grab that as well.What if it is true?

And the others were also stunned, and at the same time, their hearts were hot, not only because of the name of this lecture, but most importantly, this Xie Shu is no longer what it used to be, and the Yu family is the leading wealthy family in Jinling. Building a palace, I don't know what kind of prosperity will happen in the future.

They are told by adults every day, how can they not remember it in their hearts, besides, they have to go to a place like the painting building.

It's a pity that the invitation was not sent to me, and the rest of the people couldn't help scratching their heads, feeling itchy, wishing they could have a copy,

Seeing such a situation, only Wan Tianyun was disdainful. This Xie Shu didn't know what idea he was planning to invite these people to. He had been silent before, so why did he suddenly become active, and what kind of "examination" would he hold? Wenhui.

Is this Xie Shu some kind of saint?Are you really that kind?I'm afraid you don't want to gain fame, do you?

But it doesn't matter to yourself.

It's just hateful that others don't know his true face, and even his father often praises him!

Wan Tianyun originally wanted to vent his grievances to a few friends, but seeing that they didn't want to listen to what he had to say, he had no choice but to give up.

As soon as he got home, Wan Tianyun heard his father ordered him to come over, so he had no choice but to meet Wan Linming first, and muttered in his heart, he didn't seem to have committed any crimes these days, right?

When I saw Wan Linming, I saw Wan Linming rarely had a smile on his face, looking at him with his beard stroked.

Wan Tianyun couldn't help feeling his scalp go numb, what is the reason for his father's behavior?

Before he could say anything, Wan Linming took out an invitation card and said: "This morning, Xie Shu sent you an invitation card for the Wenhui. I didn't expect you to have a good relationship. Will you go?"

Wan Tianyun accepted the invitation stiffly, unable to say "no" under his father's "kind" eyes.

But Wan Tianyun suddenly felt a little inexplicable, Xie Shu even invited him, he was really... ingenious.

On the day of the fifteenth day, more people came than Xie Shu had imagined. Not only people from Jinling Academy came, but even some well-known talents from Jinling also arrived.

This surprised Xie Shu.

In fact, the reason for this is very simple.These talents are indeed arrogant, Xie Shu's own reputation is not enough to qualify them to attend.

But Xie Shu is Jiang Hong's disciple after all, and Jiang Hong's reputation has always been thunderous, and everyone admires him very much.

In addition, the theme of the literary meeting held by Xie Shu turned out to be examination-taking. As the former Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, could Jiang Hong still be unclear about the imperial examinations?

Even though some of these talents already have the fame of juren and hold their own identities, they are afraid of other people coming, and how many of them can bear their "competitors" to be one step ahead?So even if you don't want to come, you are there.

Of course, there is another point, that is, the painting building chosen by Xie Shu is very elegant, and the invitations sent by him are ingenious and noble. came.

Xie Shu was the host for the first time, and he had to greet so many people. Fortunately, he made friends through writing, so there was no need to talk about it between the host and the guests.

After Zhang Enshi and Xu Shengkai, two people he knew, arrived, Xie Shu asked them to help together, which saved a lot of effort.

During the period, Zhang Enshi and Xu Shengkai hesitated to talk, but they didn't ask in the end. Xie Shu actually knew why they were like this, and he could explain their doubts to them in the Wenhui.

When it was almost time for people to come, Xie Shu went in to preside over the painting meeting.

I saw that the entire teahouse was full of guests, Mai Shengxue, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
