Duan Shaojun thanked him and lifted the tea bowl to sniff lightly, the color of the tea soup was thick and almost brown, the fragrance was very light, but there was a smell of grass, or the natural aroma of trees, and there seemed to be a faint aroma of wine. Taking a sip, Duan Shaojun couldn't help frowning slightly, and gradually stretched out. "This tea soup is like amber, with a mellow taste and a unique fragrance of herbs and trees...... The taste is astringent and heavy, but the aftertaste is still sweet, just like life. ”

Master Mengzhen raised his eyebrows, looked at Duan Shaojun with some surprise, and said in his heart, "Does this young man think that I, my uncle, is not at your mercy?"

But Tian, but Shaojun looked serious, and couldn't help but groan slightly and then said lightly. "Tell me, what is the connection between this tea and life?"

"And say this tea word, folded out, that is, people between the grass and trees, when people taste tea, the most artistic conception, so carved, hundreds of trees into a forest, cicadas chirp between the sound of birds, Sanskrit sound faintly, tea can be calm......"

Master Mengzhen bowed slightly, this kid's words were appropriate, and he happily took a sip of tea, as if listening to him say this, it seemed to be true to his words.

"Let's say that this tea and water, leaf water meet, is it a torment, or the fulfillment of each other, there is tea, no water, how can there be a hundred flavors of tea soup? The same is true with water and without tea. Duan Shaojun sighed lightly and said.

This sentence shocked Master Mengzhen, and the tea soup in the bowl couldn't help but be stupid for a while. There is tea, but there is no water...... The old tea is still there, but there is no water to make it happen......

#####

The real master was stupid about the tea, and he was silent for a long time, Duan Shaojun grinned, Damn, why is he so cheap, this is not to say that tea is like life, how did it involve the encounter between tea and water? Isn't this a professional poke at the sore spot?

Duan Shaojun sipped his tea in horror, while carefully observing the change in the expression of this Mengzhen master, for fear that he would suddenly jump like thunder like his hot-tempered master, and then beat himself up in order to understand his thoughts.

Fortunately, after observing for a long time, I saw that Master Mengzhen had a sad face, but there was no sign of anger, Duan Shaojun finally breathed a sigh of relief, but after drinking a bowl of tea and soup, Master Mengzhen didn't move as if he was in a daze, Duan Shaojun couldn't help but be a little flustered, and coughed dryly. "Uncle Shi, what do you want?"

Master Mengzhen took a deep breath, calmed down the fluctuations in his heart, and said with a slight bow. "Huh? Hehe...... It's nothing, Amitabha, I occasionally remember some of the past, you continue to talk about it, and the old sleeves are listening. This time, the tone was a little less careless.

"Do you really want to listen?" After Master Duan Shaojun's mellow and peaceful gaze, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

Master Mengzhen's face was straight. "This is natural, the old man is good at tea, but he likes it, but he doesn't want to, you are young at a young age, you can understand such a truth from the tea, the old man has no reason to listen?"

Duan Shaojun could only bite the bullet and continue to squeeze those various fables about tea, or things like chicken soup for the soul from his brain. Fortunately, this guy has goods, although he is not his own goods, but since he has traveled to this era, the knowledge in his mind has become his connotation and talent.

But these jokes, which have long been familiar in later generations, have the power to shake people's hearts in this era. Master Mengzhen is a young man who is no more than twenty years old, and uses things as a metaphor for people, or in the way of things to convey feelings, to tell the relationship between people and things.

After a long time, Master Mengzhen let out a long sigh and said. "The old man came with you, and he wanted to teach you some insights of the Book of Changes according to your master's instructions, but I never imagined that you could come up with so many truths with just a quiet and clear mouth...... Alas, if you like this tea, take some back, and forgive the old man for not keeping you as a nephew. However, the old man has to tell you that your master specially explained to the old man that before your imperial examination, you must not leak your own identity, otherwise, he will not recognize you as a disciple. ”

At this moment, Duan Shaojun, who had been proudly showing off for a long time, was suddenly dumbfounded. Is his mother-in-law too much boasting about selling melons, and his master is too much, right?

Actually let himself not expose him, Nima, he means to let himself rely on his real skills to take the test? Duan Shaojun couldn't help but feel a heart jam.

"Of course, what do you want? Beat the gongs and drums so that the Manjing master knows who you are? Master Mengzhen glanced at this lazy bastard nephew angrily.

Duan Shaojun, who came back to his senses, quickly wiped the white foam on his lips and said with a smile. "Eh, eh, what are you doing here, I really don't understand the "Book of Changes", I hope you can explain it to me, don't make trouble."

"When your master mentioned you, he said that you kid is astronomy and geography, all of which are proficient and understandable, and there are still reasons that you don't know in this "Book of Changes"?" Master Mengzhen is half-true and half-fake.

Duan Shaojun touched his nose with a smile on his face. "Uncle Shi made fun of it, that's my master, so naturally I have to brag about how good my disciples are."

Master Mengzhen couldn't help but laugh out loud. "You kid, it's really, as long as it's good for you, you dare to say anything, if your master hears such words, you have to jump up in anger."

Duan Shaojun smiled, anyway, we are juniors, and Master Mengzhen seems to be a civilized person, well, he doesn't like to move his hands and prefers to move his mouth, so this cheeky guy naturally let go even more.

Master Mengzhen is indeed a kind and funny person, witty words, talking nonsense with Duan Shaojun, and being able to chat together, it really makes Duan Shaojun feel good, this master is really a wonderful person.

Regarding Hu Xiaoniang and Chen Jian, who were punished by the uncle, Duan Shaojun felt that the uncle did the right thing, and a kind and generous person like Master Mengzhen must have been angry by those two obstacles, so he would come up with the punishment method of the scholar.

It can only be said that those two guys deserved it, they had a good chat, and the tea and tea had been changed several times, until it was almost dusk, and Duan Shaojun was shocked to realize that he had stayed in this Wenzhi Temple for a whole day.

"Okay, you kid should go back too, right? Lao Gao's old tea, but you have drunk a lot of it today. The tea box beside Master Mengzhen's eyes couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Uncle Shi, look at what you said, let's do it, tomorrow my nephew will bring you a bag of tea, so that next time I come, you can entertain me with water on the grounds that there is no tea." Duan Shaojun said with a smile.

In exchange, Master Mengzhen laughed and scolded and got out. Duan Shaojun laughed and left, his clothes fluttering, walking through the forest, humming an unknown melodious tune, and gradually drifting away.

#####

Shaojun's chic and uninhibited and calm figure, Master Mengzhen shook his head again and again. "No wonder the junior brother is tempted, he actually accepted such a far-sighted, knowledgeable talent, even the old man is a little moved."

"Master, if you let Uncle Shi hear this, he will definitely have to stare at you again." The middle-aged monk smiled, stepped forward, and helped Master Mengzhen clean up the tea set, while saying.

Master Mengzhen laughed. "Okay, you are a star, don't say that about your uncle, although your uncle is a little quick-tempered, but if you talk about the opportunity to change the plot, it is indeed a hundred times better than the old man."

"That being the case, why doesn't Uncle Shi come to Jingshi, but let Shizun live in Beijing for a long time?" Monk Jianxing put away the tea set, sobered up in the wooden basin on the side, and asked puzzledly.

Master Mengzhen's smile gradually faded, and he sighed lightly: "It's not that he doesn't want to come, but he can't come." ”

Monk Jianxing couldn't help but be stunned, slowed down his hand that was washing the tea set, and looked up at the master.

"Being in the high temple and worrying about its people, being far away in the rivers and lakes and worrying about its people...... Brother, how many people in the world can know about your hard work? Master Mengzhen slowly recited the letter sent to him by Mengfu, and the two famous words left by Duan Shaojun's kid who occasionally patted on the back were just like the portrayal of Abbot's own life.

And the mind of the Son of Heaven, how many people in the world can guess it? Perhaps, only his junior brother, who is the younger brother of today's son, can find out a thing or two. It is precisely for this reason that he can't and can't stay in Beijing, and he is far away in Jiangnan, but he can make the Son of Heaven feel the old love and still be a brother.
