"Weilai?" Assistant Jin was dumbfounded when he saw the car parked at the gate downstairs.
"Is there any problem?" Shi Wangyue had just finished handing over the car to the person who delivered the car in "future tense".
"Why?" You bought such an affordable car?
"Buy a house and get a car as a gift." Shi Wangyue curled her lips slightly, "I had better luck today. I smashed the eggs and got the biggest prize."
"?" Assistant Jin.
Shi Wangyue threw the keys to him and said, "Go and park the car."
…
The office of Shi Wangyue of "Starlight Investment Fund" is upstairs.
"So, you didn't buy a car, but a house?" Assistant Jin asked in shock.
Shi Wangyue nodded lightly.
"Does the house need decoration, or is it a fully furnished room that can be moved in directly?" Assistant Jin asked.
"Finely decorated, many places need to be changed, so we can't move in soon." Shi Wangyue thought for a while, "I still need to ask for some suggestions."
"Boss, have you confessed your love to Miss Ning?" Assistant Jin couldn't help but gossip when he heard his boss said that he wanted to discuss the decoration plan with Miss Ning.
Shi Wangyue turned to look at him with deep eyes.
"I'm going out to work, I won't disturb you anymore." Assistant Jin ran away with a wink.
…
A few days after returning, Ning Youguang received a WeChat message from Xia Fanxing.
[Xia Fanxing: Teacher Ning, have you returned to the capital?]
[Teacher Ning: I’m back. I’m free on Thursday afternoon.]
[Xia Fanxing: Okay.]
Ning Youguang conveniently sent him the location of a teahouse called "Wu Jian Zi Zi".
Xia Fanxing was stunned, [Teacher Ning, have we changed places?]
[Teacher Ning: Yes, this is my friend’s tea room. It’s very quiet. I’ll treat you to tea.]
Don’t worry, you won’t be charged more.
Xia Fanxing was a little dumbfounded, [Okay, thank you.]
Soon the day agreed upon by the two came.
"Noontime" is a quiet place in Beijing. It is a two-story building with its own courtyard and small garden. It is decorated in Japanese dry landscape style and looks very elegant and peaceful at first glance.
Ning Youguang arrived half an hour early in case Xia Fanxing felt uncomfortable in a strange place.
But she didn't expect that Xia Fanxing arrived earlier than her.
She pushed open the teahouse door and saw Xia Fanxing standing in the courtyard, quietly admiring the flowers in the courtyard.
"It's the lilac blooming season now, it's beautiful." Ning Youguang walked towards him.
The environment in the teahouse is very beautiful and quiet.
Traditional music is also played indoors, the sound is like birdsong and mountain streams.
Xia Fanxing was a little nervous before arriving, but as soon as she entered the courtyard, she felt much more relaxed physically and mentally.
"It's very beautiful." Xia Fanxing nodded slowly, "A cup of tea, a sense of clarity, and endless freedom."
Ning Youguang chuckled, "It seems you have already met the boss?"
"I just chatted with him for a while." Xia Fanxing pursed her lips.
"Not bad." Ning Youguang chuckled, "Why are you here so early today?"
"I don't want to be late." The real reason is that I want to see you early.
…
The two stood in the courtyard and chatted for a while, then entered the tea room together.
Perhaps after hearing their voices, a handsome young man with fair skin wearing pure white clothes came up to them.
"Teacher Ning, you're here." He smiled, his eyebrows curved, and the scent of agarwood lingered around him.
"Yu Xian, is 'He' still there?" "He" is an elegant room that Ning Youguang often chooses when he comes here.
"Yes." The young man smiled and led the way.
Ning Youguang asked Xia Fanxing next to him, "What kind of tea do you want to drink?"
Xia Fanxing shook his head slightly, "I want to see the tea card first."
Ning Youguang said, "Okay."
Soon, the two of them sat down on the tatami mat of "He".
This is a small private room on the first floor of "Wu Jian Zi Zi". It has good privacy and a good view. The large floor-to-ceiling glass windows allow those sitting inside to clearly see the scenery in the courtyard outside the window.
There are purple lilac flowers, green Xiangfei bamboo, and small butterflies flying in the sun.
Ning Youguang picked up the tea card placed on the tea table and handed it to Xia Fanxing, "Take a look."
After Xia Fanxing looked at it carefully, he chose an ancient tree white tea.
Ning Youguang chuckled after seeing it, "The white tea here in Yu Xian is very good. The tea tree was picked by him from a tree he raised in Mengmeng, Yunnan. It is pure material from ancient trees."
Xia Fanxing couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that you and the boss are really familiar with each other." Even he knew that he was maintaining tea trees in Yunnan.
"Because his tea tree and mine are neighbors." Ning Youguang's clear eyes flashed with a cunning light.
Xia Fanxing was stunned, "You don't have any shares in this teahouse, right?"
Ning Youguang looked at him seriously and shook his head, "Unfortunately, no."
Xia Fanxing had seen too many serious looks on her face, and it was rare to see her relaxed posture in a daily life. If he was mostly relaxed when he first came to "Eternal Freedom", then, now, he is very relaxed.
…
Soon, Yu Xian gave them tea sets, water, a bag of white tea and two plates of exquisite refreshments.
A plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and a plate of butterfly cake.
After drinking most of the tea, the topic gradually opened up. Xia Fanxing asked Ning Youguang:
"Why do I find it difficult to learn things? If what you say is true, why don't you tell me exactly how to do it? Wouldn't that save a lot of time?"
"I don't know if you are sure what you said, but what I can tell you is that no one forces you to learn anything. I just give you suggestions and encourage you to improve and grow yourself. All decisions are made by yourself.
"Ning Youguang looked at Xia Fanxing intently.
"What else?" Xia Fanxing was just a little out of breath from the knowledge he needed to absorb recently. He wanted to get something from Ning Youguang to relieve stress.
"Also, if there is a better way, I would have told you a long time ago. If I haven't told you, then you need to explore and verify it yourself. I can't tell you."
"It's so difficult." Xia Fanxing rubbed his face.
"Xia Fanxing, you are already halfway along this road, there is no turning back." Ning Youguang said seriously.
"I don't understand what you mean." Xia Fanxing covered her face and said, "You make it sound like I have to make a choice, right?"
"Yes, how long will you continue to blame others for your own unhappiness?" Ning Youguang asked.
"Do you want me to admit that all my misfortunes and unhappiness are caused by myself?" Xia Fanxing broke down emotionally.
"Instead of admitting that all this is your fault, how about you change your mind and be willing to take responsibility for all your unhappiness and misfortune?"
After a long silence, Xia Fanxing said: "I don't know what it would do for me to change my mind."
"The benefits are huge." Ning Youguang picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, "You will realize that you have autonomy over yourself, so you will know that you have the power to change the situation, and more importantly, you have the power to change
yourself."
Xia Fanxing fell into deep thought.
Ning Youguang asked: "Have you noticed a change in your thinking?"
"A little bit, but if nothing happens, the familiar feeling of sadness and loneliness will come back and make me uncomfortable for several days. Every time I stay at home, I feel like a sad caged bird. "
Can I really break free from this kind of life?
Xia Fanxing wanted to know how Teacher Ning would answer him.
But Teacher Ning did not answer her, but told him: "I am going to Qinghai in the next two weeks, and I will go to see the sky burials. At that time, if you are interested, send me a message, and I will share the stories of the journey with you. "
…
After sending Xia Fanxing out of "Infinite Freedom", when Ning Youguang found Yu Xian, he was making incense in the incense room.
Teacher Ning's friend and teahouse owner Yu Xian is a tea artist and a fragrance maker.
"I want to play too." She walked into the incense room and sat down opposite Yu Xian.
"The guest has left?" Yu Xian temporarily stopped what he was doing.
"Well, I'm home." Ning Youguang smiled.
Yu Xian was kneading the fragrant mud in the bowl, "When I finish kneading the fragrant mud, you can squeeze the fragrant mud into the incense squeezer."
Ning Youguang just waits obediently for Yu Xian to knead the fragrant mud.
Bian Xian rolled the fragrant mud in his hand into a long strip and gently placed it in her hand.
She tried putting the rolled incense sticks into the incense squeezer.
Yu Xian gave her another incense squeezing tool. She took it and slowly inserted it into the incense squeezing device, and then began to turn the incense squeezing tool.
Line-like fragrant mud slowly squeezed out from the small holes.
"You arrange them on this incense net." Yu Xian patiently guided beside him.
Ning Youguang followed suit and coiled the incense sticks back and forth on the incense net.
Wait for her to put all the fragrant mud back and forth on the incense net.
Yu Xian stood up again and took out a box of tools from the cabinet next to him, including scissors, rhizome, etc.
Ning Youguang began to do the work of cutting and sorting incense under his guidance.
"After sorting out the incense sticks, put them on the incense net to dry for two days and then you can use them." Seeing that Ning Youguang had almost finished the work, Yu Xian said.
When Xian Xian took the incense net to dry, Ning Youguang received a message from Shi Wangyue:
[Child: Where is sister? I found a delicious barbecue stall and want to eat with you tonight.]
Summer nights go perfectly with barbecue. Ning Youguang smiled and sent Shi Wangyue the location of the teahouse.
Putting down the phone, she smelled her fingertips, "It smells of osmanthus and agarwood."
Yu Xian just opened the door curtain of the incense room and came in. When he heard her words, he smiled softly and delicately, "Yes, the osmanthus flowers are blooming in the yard. When I got up two days ago, I smelled the scent of osmanthus flowers and found it so fragrant. Ah, I decided to use it as incense."
Ning Youguang listened carefully, with a smile on his picturesque face.
"I made some pure osmanthus fragrance and found that it tasted sweet and greasy, so I thought about what accessories could be used with it. After doing a lot of experiments, I finally chose agarwood. After I finished it, I tried it and found that it smelled good. of."
Ning Youguang became interested, "Do you have the finished product? Can you smell it?"
"Of course." Yu Xian stood up gracefully.
He took one from the row of glass bottles containing handmade incense placed on the window table, took out one and lit it carefully, inserted the incense stick, and placed it in front of Ning Youguang.
"Smell it and see how it tastes." 1314
