As soon as the ambush was set, the weather suddenly became hot, and the sun, which had been a little gentle a few days ago, suddenly became hot. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info stand under the sun for a while, and if you are not careful, you will take off a layer of skin.

In the back garden of Xufu, a small river flows out of the middle of two hills, bypassing a dense bamboo forest to the right, and then it becomes wide and becomes a large shallow bay. The bay is full of lotus water chestnuts, and the lotus leaves are covered with green in this season. The pretty lotus flowers stand tall in this emerald green, graceful and colorful, swaying with the wind.

After the bamboo forest, there is a meadow by the inlet, green as a carpet, and from time to time a few unknown small flowers poke their heads out of the grass. On the other side of the meadow, against the inlet, there is a row of a dozen large willow trees, which shade the great shade. Outside the willow trees, small flowering trees such as maple, magnolia, pomegranate and hibiscus are planted.

Where the meadow was against the inlet, an earthen embankment stretched into the lotus bushes, and a pavilion was built at the end, just to catch the shade of the large willow tree next to it. From the pavilion, the cool breeze is blowing, and the eyes are full of beautiful scenery.

This is the place where the people of Xufu rest in summer, and no matter how hot the weather is, it is still full of coolness.

Xu Ping sat in the gazebo, looking at the lotus flowers in his eyes, and drank tea slowly.

Sun Qilang stood behind Xu Ping boredly, looking around incessantly, looking a little untenable.

According to the habits of this era, Xu Ping wanted to find someone to study and manufacture new clocks, so he set up a club, which was actually similar to the club in his previous life, named the Leak Society. Speaking of which, there are no certain rules for this kind of organization to call the society, and sometimes it just depends on how to come by the mouth.

Generally speaking, the association is more organized than the club and the collective, with a fixed initiator, the membership of the member is more formal, there are collective activities held on time, and some even have membership fees. Often in religious activities, the form of a meeting is more used. The club is looser, often the members are not fixed, most of them just get together because of common hobbies, and the activities are often improvised. As for the collection, it is basically held temporarily, and the most typical is the elegant collection held by the literati, the poetry and literature meeting. Like Xu Ping a few days ago, he recruited people to come to his house to have fun, which can be regarded as a kind of elegant collection. There were poems on the scene that day, and after they dispersed, some people wrote poems to describe this incident, and they will be collected and published in the future.

Before the Song Dynasty, especially during the Tang Dynasty, Yaji prevailed. The early such as the two Jin Dynasty Lanting Yaji, Wang Xizhi for this "Lanting Collection Preface" has been passed down through the ages. In the Tang Dynasty, every time you go to the spring, there are countless elegant collections on the original music, and I don't know how many poets' poems have been passed down to future generations through this occasion.

In this era, gatherings between literati and doctors were held occasionally, but they were not many anymore, and various associations were more prevalent. Not to mention the poetry clubs with a wide variety of names, others such as the chess club, the mirror club, the lotus club, the peony club and the chrysanthemum club, the bow and arrow club, the stick club, etc., have countless patterns.

Of course, the largest is the Qiyun Society, also known as the Circle Society, which has members all over the world. Qiyun Club has gone far beyond the scope of Xu Ping's previous life club, and is more like an industry association. The rules of Keju are formulated by the Qiyun Society, the competition is organized by the Qiyun Society, and the level is assessed by the Qiyun Society. Later, there were people who were professionally engaged in Keju, and the qualifications were also determined by Qiyun Society. The functions of Xu Ping's previous sports associations, such as the World Football Association and the Badminton Association, are basically all in the current Qiyun Club.

Keju is the largest sport in the world at this time, from the princes and nobles, down to the street idlers, all dislike, and all kinds of masters are endless. It is precisely with this foundation that Qiyun Club was born.

It is often said that social existence determines social consciousness, and Qiyun Society is an example. With this kind of movement in which members of society participate extensively, trade associations will naturally emerge in this relatively relaxed social form.

Kemari is a men's sport, and girls have a girl's game.

On the grass in the shade under the willow tree, Pan Pan is kicking the shuttlecock with Xiuxiu. Although this sport is not as extensive as Kemari, it is so large-scale, and there are many people who like it, especially for little girls. Xiuxiu came back, Pan Pan has a playmate, and recently he has been extremely keen on kicking shuttlecocks, such as cheap, dragging, shrugging knees, protruding belly, Buddha top beads, all kinds of fancy, even Xu Ping was amazed when he saw it. A small shuttlecock flew up and down on her feet like a butterfly. While looking at it, it is extremely pleasing to the eye. Xu Ping saw that sometimes he couldn't help but kick her twice.

Not far from Panpan and Xiuxiu, two puppies, one black and one yellow, were lying on the ground, sticking out their tongues to probe their brains.

These two puppies are not simple, they were carefully bred by Sun Qilang. The horses on Xu Pingzhuang were selected by artificial insemination to breed good breeds, and Sun Qilang learned to breed excellent dog breeds. In Zhongmu Village, Sun Qilang's favorite thing is to set up eagle lackeys, chase rabbits and hunt foxes, and is extremely interested in good dog breeds.

The one was black, with a slender body and extremely high limbs. It looks small on its stomach, and when it stands up, its shape can give people a shock, as if it can fly on the ground with a bow. This is an ancient Chinese hunting dog, and the barking dog of the god Gukou Erlang is about this kind, called the thin dog.

The little yellow dog next to him looks a little silly, and everything is not outstanding, but he is smart and obedient.

Since these two puppies were seen by Panpan, they have been dominating and often taking them to play. Sun Qilang wanted to raise him well and follow him to hunt, but no matter what he taught, he was always quickly forgotten by Panpan's inexplicable tricks, and he only remembered running crazy with Panpan every day, making Sun Qilang so anxious.

In the pavilion, Xu Ping sat on a stone bench, brewing and drinking tea alone, unhurriedly. Looking at the beautiful scenery in the lotus pond in front of me, my daughter is playing happily not far away, which is really a joy in my life.

There are no endless people here, no endless things, completely relax and enjoy this rare leisure time. Life is like this, what more can a husband ask for?

Just when Sun Qilang couldn't help it and wanted to find an excuse to slip away, Xu Chang took Yan Su to this side from a distance. Today is the establishment of the Leak Society, the day of the first gathering, Yan Su went down to the court, and he came directly.

When he arrived at the pavilion and talked to Xu Ping, Yan Su looked up and praised: "I don't want Xu to have such a beautiful scenery in the mansion, the mountains and rivers reflect each other, and the cool breeze is blowing, it is really a fairy-like day!" ”

Xu Ping asked Yan Su to sit down and use tea, and said: "Where can it be regarded as a beautiful scenery, it is just a pond of clear water, a few lotus plants, and some cool breeze." Sitting here is just a matter of quietness. ”

Yan Su smiled: "How do you say this? If it is in the countryside, this kind of scenery is really ordinary, but in this Kaifeng city, it is rare. Last year, Xu Beizhi built a lot of construction here, and some people said that if you spend as much money as you want, why don't you go to the city to find a house, which is much more convenient than outside the city. Now it seems that Xu Beizhi still has a vision, how can there be such a big place in the city? There are mountains and rivers in your own home, who dares to think in the city? ”

Xu Ping smiled, didn't answer, poured tea for Yan Su and said, "Yan is to be prepared, use tea." ”

Yan Su drank the tea and smacked his lips: "This tea is good!" In this kind of hot weather, it is really inappropriate to go for tea again. Xu waits for the tea system according to the Yongzhou tea system, I heard that the sales in the past few months were not very good, and the market has risen recently. It's still hot now, and ordering tea is not as convenient as this. ”

The wisdom of the working people is infinite, Xu Ping didn't know much about tea in his previous life, and he could only say a rough idea to the people who made tea when he was in Yongzhou. At that time, the tea made in Yongzhou was only convenient and easy to preserve, and the taste could only be said to be average. Over the past few years, tea growers have been able to make excellent tea by trying it out little by little.

Fang Tianyan switched to the Yongzhou tea method in the southwest of Beijing, took the best buds and leaves before the Ming Dynasty, carefully made a batch of good tea, and sent it to Xu Ping to entertain guests. It was the best production area of green tea in Xu Ping's previous life, and the taste was really good, Xu Ping himself liked to brew a pot and taste it slowly.

After some gossip, Yan Su said to Xu Ping: "A few years ago, Xu Beizhi said that he wanted to make a new one, and we talked about it a few times, but we were riddled with all kinds of miscellaneous things, and there was no result." Now that I have free time, I must make it in one go this time, so that there will be no more delays. ”

Xu Ping nodded: "Yes, this time you can't give up halfway this time, there must be a result." ”

"To do this kind of thing, you need to have manpower, as the saying goes, one person is short, everyone is wise, we have to invite helpers. Didn't Xu Beizhi write a letter a few days ago, asking Su Song of Zhongmu to go to Chongwen Academy to watch the sky with a telescope? I look good at that young man, he has a family history in astronomy, he is honest and cautious, he is good at learning and inquisitive, and he is a talent. After getting the book from Xu Bei, I sent someone to call him along, which can be regarded as a helper and a follow-up. ”

Su Song is a person who has an impression of Xu Ping in his previous life, and he must have made great achievements to leave his name in history, but unfortunately when Xu Ping came back, there was no news of him. But he didn't expect Yan Su to still have an impression of him, and invited him here, which was in Xu Ping's arms, how could he object?

After asking about Su Song's current news, I learned that he went to Chongwen Academy to see the celestial phenomena and stayed for a few days. He not only has a family history in astronomy, but also excels in poetry, literature and classics, and is favored by many people to seek teachers and visit friends in Chongwen Academy. Even Song Qi, who judged the pavilion, suggested that he stay in the Chongwen Academy like Fan Zhen, and when he was a few years old and had completed his poetry and literature, he would be released from Guozijian to participate in the imperial examination. It's just that his family didn't worry that he was outside at a young age, and he was afraid that he would accidentally learn badly, so he still let him follow his father Su Shen's side.

After saying Su Song, Xu Ping pointed to Sun Qilang behind him and said: "This Sun Qilang is now a petty official, and he has done a lot of things in the capital in the past year. (To be continued.) )
