The mountain forest that looked like a blazing fire was still several hundred meters away from the cloud scenery, and he still felt a little regretful that he couldn't go deep into it to appreciate this unique scenery.
But that's someone else's territory, and if he's not allowed to go there, it's hard for him to force his way in. You still have to be reasonable as a human being, right?
I have seen introductions to trees with fiery red leaves in books. They are called red resin trees. Their stems are solid and their leaves are fiery red. It may be an exaggeration to say that it is full of treasures, but it is a very good economic plant.
.
The sap of this tree has certain medicinal value. The trunk is dense and is a good material for making furniture. The charcoal made into it is very resistant to burning. Many wealthy people like to use the charcoal made from this tree, which is very expensive.
Its leaves are the most valuable part. You can collect the leaves, crush them, filter the juice, dry the juice and grind it into powder. It is a good rouge with a light special fragrance, so this tree got its name.
Red tree.
The sap of its leaves can also be used for dyeing. Most of the red fabrics in the world use the sap of this tree as a dye.
Therefore, the Chixia Sect's control of the red resin forest with a radius of dozens of miles is equivalent to controlling a steady stream of gold mines.
Of course, they are just a martial arts sect after all. No matter how much they earn, they will have to pay taxes. The saying that the whole world is the land of kings is not just talk.
But then again, such a large red-grey forest is an extremely huge wealth. It is impossible not to make people jealous. It is reasonable for people not to let people go up casually, but Chixia Sect can guard it.
If you live in this property, you don't have to think too hard to know that people must have the ability.
When Yun Jing was at the foot of the mountain, he felt the aura of more than one innate master deep in the mountain. This Chixia sect was a big sect, definitely not comparable to a small family like Fengdaomen in Xinlin County.
Hearing the kind reminder from the man in white, Yun Jing turned around and saluted, "Thank you for reminding me, brother. It's a pity. If you miss this kind of scenery, it will be difficult to see it again."
"You're welcome. We are all scholars. It's our duty to remind you that Jianghu is not in the same circle as us scholars. It's okay and it's better not to mess with it. And you don't have to feel sorry. Although you can't go deep into it, you can watch it from a distance.
After all, it can be considered that I have seen it before." The other party cupped his hands and smiled.
What he said about not provoking anyone is not because he is afraid of people in the world, but there is a vague meaning in it that I have to think about it if you invite me to go.
Scholars, to put it bluntly, have a higher social status in this era than people in the world of martial arts. There is no contradiction in appreciating the beautiful scenery but not appreciating the martial arts in the martial arts world.
Yun Dingding nodded and said: "Yes, there are so many beautiful things in the world, but you can't get them when you ask for them. Although it's a bit regretful, I still have some thoughts in my heart. Isn't it a blessing? The bright moon still waxes and wanes, so
Ah, how can everything be perfect in this world? Although this trip is not entirely enjoyable, don’t worry if you miss it.”
Hearing Yun Jing's words, the man in white was stunned for a moment, then turned to Yun Jing and bowed his hands and said: "I have been taught a lesson. After listening to your words, I finally realized that I have been here many times and was fascinated by the scenery, but I have fallen behind."
Next time, when the scenery is in your heart, why bother to look closely? The world is peaceful and perfect. It is enough to have this sentence. The result is not important. What is important is that I have been here. Why regret it? This trip is worthwhile. This trip is not worthwhile.
, It’s okay if you don’t stay here, go and take a break, take your leave.”
After saying that, the man turned around and left. He didn't miss the unique beauty of the mountain at all. He was so fascinated by it before.
So will love disappear?
This made Yunjing stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that this guy is also a man of temperament, and then he looked at the flaming scenery of mountains and fields not far away. There were obstacles in the way, and there were obstacles to get up. He had no idea of breaking in...
…
Then I leave?
Before he could think about whether to go or stay, the man in white just left and came back. He came over and said: "Look at me, I was just happy with my thoughts and made my brother laugh. I didn't ask for my name? My surname is Huang.
, a single name with the character Tao"
"Brother Huang, you're welcome. My surname is Yun and Jing." Yun Jing said with a smile. The two parties only met by chance and were not friends, so there was no need to tell him his last name.
Huang Tao is only about 20 years old, not as tall as Yun Jing. At a glance, it can be seen that the two of them are about the same age, but Yun Jing is obviously younger, and he is also a million points more handsome than the other.
"It turns out to be Brother Yun. I have benefited a lot from what you said just now. I feel very lucky. If Brother Yun has nothing to do, how about finding a place to sit down and have a drink? I wonder if Brother Yun can give me a favor?" Huang Tao invited with his hand in hand.
.
This era is like this. Some people get into a fight if they disagree with each other, and some people say something that touches people's hearts and are invited to talk to each other as friends. Similar things are very common.
Communication is inconvenient and transportation is inconvenient. It is not easy to meet someone who suits your taste. If you meet someone, you have to get along well.
Studying abroad and going out not only increase your knowledge, but also a process of making friends. Many scholars go out for a trip and come back with a lot of friends from all over the world. Some of them may never see each other in their lifetime, but they often exchange letters, which can be regarded as
A major feature of this era is that in the era without the Internet, letters became the link between friends.
Yunjing is also happy to make more friends. Although such friends are not as good as the friends he grew up with, it is easier to travel with more friends. If he encounters any tangle in the future, he can also go out to visit friends.
In the name of avoiding it, there was still a place to go.
So he thought for a while and said: "Since Brother Huang invited me, and I have nothing important to do, it would be better to be respectful than to obey."
"Haha, very good, very good. Brother Yun, please, where is my bicycle frame? You and I can go to the county town together. It's only about ten miles away. I know a good leisure place in the city. I guarantee your satisfaction." Huang Tao
said enthusiastically.
After looking at the sky, the sun was high in the sky. Yunjing thought that the other party would not drag him to visit the brothels in broad daylight. The so-called leisure places were nothing more than teahouses and taverns, so he went there angrily.
In this era, it is not unusual for scholars to be taken to a brothel when they meet for the first time. It is an elegant place where you can drink wine, listen to a tune and watch the young lady twerking and twerking, and there are other places like that
Is it more suitable for entertaining friends? Not only is it not embarrassing, but it is also a good conversation.
Well, I came here with great interest to see the blazing mountain-like scenery, but Cheng Yaojin came out halfway and ended the trip early. Plans can never keep up with changes.
After all, the vast majority of scholars in this era are from wealthy families, and there are too few grassroots counterattacks like Yunjing. Therefore, it is normal for Huang Tao to have a bicycle with him when he travels, and it is also normal for a scholar to guard his maids.
He has three maids and four guards... I'll go, it's a big business.
I was a little surprised to see Huang Tao's lineup, Yun Jing.
His carriage was extremely gorgeous and exquisite, and the interior was elegantly decorated and spacious. There was a small table inside, where Yunjing, him, and three maids sat down, and it didn't seem crowded at all.
This guy is so good at enjoying himself. Yun Jing is not envious at all. Really...
After getting in the car, Huang Tao said to the three maids: "This is a friend I just met. You must take care of me. Don't neglect me. Xiaoyu, go and take care of my brother Yun."
"Since you are the young master's friend, I will serve you well and never embarrass the young master," the maid named Xiaoyu said, and then moved to Yunjing's side.
No, what kind of rhythm is this? Using your own maid to entertain friends? Yunjing was a little dumbfounded. Do all rich people lead such unrestrained lives?
Well, the maid named Xiaoyu calls herself a slave. She is a slave and has no human rights. How dare she disobey her master? Otherwise, she will be beaten to death with a stick and there will be no room for reasoning.
She looks to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a sweet appearance. She is in the best years of her life. Well, in fact, if she is not good-looking, she is not qualified to accompany a big dog like Huang Tao. After all, she only sees guests.
Sometimes, it would be a shame to have an ugly girl next to you.
Yunjing, the big dog owner, was just talking in his heart and had absolutely no intention of belittling the other party.
Xiaoyu came to the edge of the cloud scene and touched a certain mechanism on the carriage. A wooden board covered with cushions actually rose up. People could just sit on the carriage and lean against it. In this way, they could lean against the carriage with their legs.
He was half-lying with his side stretched out.
Yun Jingxin said that it was great to have money, and such a carriage must have been customized.
After sitting down, the maid named Xiaoyu said softly: "Master, please relax. You must be tired after going out to play, right? Let me squeeze your feet."
As she said that, she knelt down in front of Yunjing, took off Yunjing's shoes and put them away, then took one of his feet and put it in her arms to massage it. From time to time, Yunjing's soles could touch a soft place...
It was not that Yunjing had never 'washed feet' in his previous life, but this was the first time he had experienced such a thing in this life. He was a little uncomfortable. He looked at Huang Tao opposite, who was being treated similarly, and said, "Brother Huang, this...?"
Huang Tao, who looked like he was enjoying himself, even deliberately rubbed his feet against the maid. Hearing this, he frowned slightly and looked at Xiaoyu reproachfully: "Brother Yun, is there anything about Xiaoyu's inconsiderate service?"
The maid named Xiaoyu almost cried on the spot, and said anxiously to Yun Jing: "Sir, did you do a good job?"
For her, if the details are not done well and the master's guests are offended, the consequences will be very miserable. However, Xiaoyu feels in her heart that being able to serve such a good-looking young master may be worth her death, right?
"No, no, it's just this... Well, to be honest, Brother Huang, I have never experienced such service before, and I am a little uncomfortable, which makes you laugh," Yun Jing said quickly.
Huang Tao then smiled and joked: "I see, Brother Yun, don't think so much, just relax and enjoy it. But then again, from what Brother Yun said, his tutoring is very strict. I think I missed out on a lot of fun."
"My family background is average, I don't have a maid to take care of me, and I have to do a lot of things myself. I can't compare with Brother Huang." Yun Jing said with a smile, not feeling embarrassed at all. There is nothing difficult about his family's situation, so he should be more open-minded as a person.
.
Huang Tao did not neglect Yunjing because of his ordinary family background. Instead, he said: "No wonder Brother Yun can say those thought-provoking words. I guess it has to do with experience. I am not as good as you."
"There, there, Brother Huang has promoted me," Yunjing said humbly.
Xiaoyu was still concentrating on pinching Yunjing's feet without disturbing their conversation. She had clearly learned the technique. Not to mention, it was really comfortable and relaxing. She glanced at Yunjing from time to time, her cheeks were slightly red, and she thought to herself that this
The young master is so handsome. I am willing to do anything for him. It is a blessing to be able to serve him. I will not wash these hands for the next few days!
To be fair, he was at a disadvantage if he grew up like Yunjing...
Yun Jing and Huang Tao enjoyed the maid's foot massage service, while the other maid burned a small red clay stove in the corner and made tea with elegant and skillful techniques. Even on the somewhat bumpy carriage, there was no mistake.
After the tea was brewed, she gave Yun Jing and Huang Tao a cup respectively and placed them on the small table without making a sound, waiting in the corner for more tea at any time.
"Come on, Brother Yun, this is this year's new tea. Try it and see how it tastes." Huang Tao picked up the tea cup and made an invitation gesture.
Yunjing picked up the tea cup and held it in both hands: "Brother Huang, please invite me too."
"Please," Huang Tao nodded and smiled.
The details can be seen in the details. Yunjing’s mere movement of holding the teacup is so hard to fault. This makes Huang Tao confirm that Yunjing’s identity as a scholar is definitely not something that ordinary people in the world can pretend to be.
Etiquette in elementary schools is something that is engraved in the bones. Ordinary people who pretend to be pretentious will only add to the laughter of those who are like tigers.
When facing real scholars, Huang Tao is obviously much more formal. Before that, Yunjing was just a random person he picked up who had similar interests, so he became more casual. That kind of casual person is not worthy of his serious treatment.
.
When drinking tea, you should pay attention to one look, two smells, three tastes and four aftertaste. Look at the color of the tea, smell the aroma of the tea, taste the taste of the tea, and aftertaste the aftertaste...
These are all things I have learned before. The course of etiquette can be said to be all-encompassing. There are things to pay attention to when getting along with different people. Drinking tea is actually part of the course of etiquette.
Yunjing took a sip of tea, tasted it briefly, put down the cup, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then opened his eyes and said: "The color of the tea is light green like spring water, the fragrance of tea enters the nose and the head is clear, the tea enters the throat and the body is slightly sweaty, the aftertaste is bitter but sweet on the lips and teeth,
Good tea, I think this is the famous tea 'Spring Green', right?"
From Yun Jing’s point of view, there is a saying. In the circle of scholars, many times they are either pretending or on the road to pretending. But the pretense of people in this circle is not about who has a bigger fist, nor who is better at speaking.
It's irritating. Those are vulgar people pretending to be low-class and cannot be put on the stage.
As for scholars who pretend to be knowledgeable, detailed and knowledgeable, pretentiousness is also elegant pretense. Vulgar language and style will only make people laugh, but if something is said clearly and clearly in an indifferent tone, it is pretending to be pretentious.
Once in place, Yunjing is almost like this at the moment, just drinking tea, looking so elegant.
Yunjing doesn't want to do this either. Just drink tea and quench your thirst. But people in this circle are like this. If you don't pretend to be cool, it won't show that you are knowledgeable. He can't use vulgar words and deeds to lose face as a scholar, right?
So I have no choice but to do it the way a scholar would. It’s not like he doesn’t know how to do it, it’s just trivial.
Hearing what Yun Jing said so eloquently, Huang Tao's eyes lit up and he said: "Brother Yun is also a person who knows tea. Yes, this is spring green. I managed to get a few taels of it, but I usually can't bear to drink it."
"Then I'm in for a treat," Yun Jing said with a smile. Then he drank the tea in the cup in one gulp. He tasted the tea first to show off his knowledge and knowledge. After getting the other party's approval, he drank the tea again. That would be a compliment to the other party.
"Respected" means that if you give me the tea, it doesn't count as giving it to the wrong person.
In fact, in addition to the superficial meaning of Huang Tao's words, he also said subtly that this tea is very expensive and I would not usually serve it out to entertain people. If you know tea, you have not let me down.
Therefore, it is very tiring for scholars to get along with scholars. If you are not knowledgeable enough and cannot appreciate many details of getting along, it will be difficult to survive in this circle. Only truly knowledgeable people can navigate this circle with ease.
This is also the reason why the gangsters and ordinary people cannot integrate into this circle. Just like Yang Yungong, who taught Yunjing and the others etiquette, said, scholars often scold you and you don’t even know it. You are still involved in this circle.
I don't know how to laugh at you.
This kind of getting along with each other is very formulaic. People who are not in this circle will be very tired, but in this circle Yunjing has to do it this way. In fact, he prefers to get along with Wang Bolin and others. There is no need to pretend, just do whatever you want. It's very
Relaxation, this is the difference between getting along as ordinary friends and brothers.
Fortunately, Yunjing has a solid knowledge and is able to move around in this circle with ease. However, he is a little pretentious. Everyone is like this, so he can only do this.
Yunjing kind of misses the life of picking his toes, drinking beer and making skewers, which is called comfort. He can also pretend to be elegant as a scholar, but he is 'tired' because he only does it for others to see.
After drinking the tea, it was still some time before going to the county seat. Yunjing suggested: "Brother Huang, if you have nothing to do, why don't you talk about it?"
"That's what I meant," Huang Tao said without hesitation.
In an era when entertainment is scarce, playing chess is one of the few things that can pass the time well.
The maid next to me very wisely started to prepare the chessboard.
Chess quality can reflect your character. Playing chess is entertainment and a time to understand your opponent’s character.
Although the two did not hit it off, they talked happily. If during the chess game, they feel that the other person's character is not good, then it can only be a casual acquaintance. But if the other person's character is similar, then it will be a real friendship.
Can be used as a confidant.
When playing chess, winning or losing actually does not matter. What matters is what you understand during the game.
The tricks of scholars are very deep, and if you are not careful, you will not even know where you failed...
