Five hundred and twenty-four: Tea on a rainy night
The nun calmed down and immediately thought that this could not be a dragon robe, it could only be a python robe! It happened to be said that the marquis in the East Mansion was only a marquis, but he was extremely favored by His Majesty. He used to wear pythons!
So the nun immediately understood that the person in front of him was the Ning Hou who had never met before! He immediately bowed and bowed quickly, "I don't know that Ning Hou is coming far away! His sins are sins! I hope the marquis forgives him!"
Ning Hou?
Miao Yu, who was behind the palace, turned around and leaned gently on the door. Listening to the movement inside, the little nun beside him also looked at the man in front of him in surprise.
Jia Jing smiled bitterly at the little nun's expression. It was boring to show his saint in front of a group of nuns, so he just waved his hand and said, "I am here to shelter from the rain, you should be busy with yours."
As Jia Jing said that, he bowed to the Buddha statue in the Main Hall, and the nun hurriedly said, "How can this be done? This is the first time that the Marquis has visited my Changcui Temple. Please wait a moment. The nun will come and invite the presidency."
When Jia Jing heard this, he said, "No need to worry. I will sit here for a while and not disturb your monks' practice. If the rain stops for a moment, I will leave."
As he said that, he lifted up his robe and sat on the cushion, quietly staring at the heavy rain in front of him with his back to the Buddha statue. The two nuns looked at each other and saw that Jia Jing did not seem to want to be disturbed, so he did not dare to say more, and bowed silently and wanted to leave.
At this moment, Miaoyu slowly walked out from behind the door. Seeing this, the two nuns whispered to him and said hello. After Miaoyu returned the greeting, she looked at the man sitting on the cushion in the middle of the hall with a calm expression.
Seeing this, the older nun hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It's Ning Hou, you can see..." Miaoyu nodded and said, "Prepare my tea set......... Take the gourd in my kang cabinet."
The two nuns took the order and went like this. Miaoyu stepped forward and said softly: "I don't know that the marquis is here, and I'm not here to welcome you. I hope the marquis will forgive you."
Jia Jing looked up and saw a beauty with a beautiful head, wearing a moon-white plain sleeve jacket, a long vest with paddy green satin border, tied with a silk ribbon with autumn fragrance, and a white silk skirt with a light ink painting under his waist. He held a rosary with a slight hang on his hands, his eyes drooped slightly, and his hands were squinted, which had a bit of ancient charm.
Jia Jing knew that this was Miaoyu, so he stood up and nodded and said, "I am just passing by. It started raining heavily outside. Then he borrowed Baosha to hide from the rain. Are you?"
Miaoyu bowed slightly and said, "I am the old lady in the mansion who invited me to take care of this Yangcui Temple." Jia Jing nodded and said, "I heard from the old lady mention it once... Then, then, you should be the host of this Yangcui Temple?"
Miaoyu bowed slightly and said, "The Taoist practice is shallow, and I dare not call him a host, I just take care of it on my behalf." Jia Jing smiled and said, "If you have ambitions, don't you have a high age."
Miaoyu seemed to smile, but Jia Jing didn't see clearly, but soon Miaoyu regained her calm expression and said to Jia Jing: "The Marquis is here, and the rain will probably not stop for a while. Please use a cup of hot tea to warm your body."
Jia Jing hesitated for a moment, then turned to look outside, but the rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, so Jia Jing could only helplessly close his hands at Miaoyu and said, "Then I have to disturb you."
Miaoyu put his hands together and said, "Please here." Jia Jing followed Miaoyu, and the two of them walked around the Main Hall to the back hall. They saw that there were tables and two cushions in the meditation room of the back hall.
Miaoyu bowed to Jia Jing and said, "Please." Jia Jing nodded and sat on the cushion. Miaoyu also sat opposite Jia Jing and began to fiddle with the things on the table.
Jia Jing just looked silently. Miaoyu first opened the lid of the three-beast-footed bronze incense burner on the edge of the table, then slowly compacted the loose incense ash with an incense scale, took out the best sandalwood from the small box beside it and lit it and put it in the incense burner.
Then the lid of the small red mud stove on the other side was opened. The melon seeds and silver frost and charcoal inside were burned with charcoal. Miaoyu used her hand lightly and used a small wooden clip to clip two pieces of new charcoal and threw them into the stove.
Then he opened the blue and white porcelain jar next to him, scooped two spoons of water into it with a wooden spoon, poured it into the purple clay pot, and put it on the stove.
Every step looks pleasing to the eye, the movements are gentle but skillful, and the control of each step is orderly. In summary, it is just two words, elegant.
Although Jia Jing didn't have to learn tea art in the palace, he had seen many of them. At least, Li Miaojin had been soaked for him. But now Jia Jing's most intuitive feeling is that Miaoyu is at least in terms of tea art, I don't know how many streets it is to surpass Li Miaojin...
When Jia Jing was watching Miaoyu's tea art, wasn't Miaoyu secretly looking at Jia Jing? Miaoyu had always been arrogant about her beauty. Now she was secretly observing Jia Jing and found that there was only appreciation in his eyes and no disrespectful expression.
Miaoyu couldn't help but nodded slowly in her heart, but she didn't know that Jia Jing actually felt that she was not very familiar with Miaoyu. Besides, Jia Jing was a marquis after all, and at least she could do it when she saw people talking to others, but she could still talk to others.
He could tell at a glance that Miaoyu was a noble female literary youth, and maybe even more serious than Daiyu's literary youth. Of course, it would be better to be honest with such women. If you are taller than her, she will naturally not hate you.
Miaoyu looked at Jia Jing secretly. Seeing that Jia Jing was covered in rain, the corners of her mouth bent, and then whispered to the nun behind: "Go and prepare two towels for the marquis."
The nun responded, and Jia Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly and thanked him twice. Miaoyu just shook her head, then said indifferently: "There are still several sets of clean monk's robes in the temple, which no one has worn. If the marquis doesn't dislike it, you can change it first. It's more comfortable than wearing wet clothes. It takes some time for the tea to be cooked."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! As he said that, he was still washing the tea set in his hand without any haste. Jia Jing hesitated and nodded and said, "Okay, I'm working hard." Miaoyu shook her head gently, and then said to one of his maids behind, "Take the marquis to change clothes."
The maid responded softly, and Jia Jing couldn't help but look a little strange. People who become monks use maids? What's that monk?
However, Jia Jing is not the kind of person with low EQ. He asked him what he was doing for a long time. So he just smiled at the maid and said, "I'm working hard."
The maid looked at Jia Jing's unreasonable handsome face, and her face suddenly turned red. She stammered and said that the marquis was so polite. Then she asked and took Jia Jing to the back Zen room to change her clothes.
Miaoyu always lowered her eyes and was washing the tea set in her hand. She only turned around and looked at Jia Jing's back after Jia Jing left. If it hadn't been for this contact just now, Miaoyu would have a little affection for Jia Jing, and said that Jia Jing could only go back in wet clothes today...
Jia Jing came back after a while. He said it was a monk's robe, but it was actually a white wide-sleeved dress, so Jia Jing was not very repulsive, and his hair spread out and dried. Then he stopped putting on the purple gold crown. He just tied a bun on his head with a hairpin, which was quite like a fairy-like trait.
No matter how Miaoyu saw Jia Jing, she couldn't help but be stunned. It was indeed Jia Jing's appearance that was good. She didn't think it was just now when she described her embarrassment, but after changing into this monk's robe, it was indeed dazzling.
However, Miaoyu had no special situation. After thanking the maid, Jia Jing also left the seat, and then thanked Miaoyu, half-jokingly thanking Miaoyu for taking him in.
Miaoyu just nodded and didn't say much. Jia Jing didn't think Miaoyu was rude. Miaoyu himself was a young lady who was not a member of the world. It was understandable that she had a lower emotional intelligence.
Then Miaoyu handed Jia Jing a cup. Jia Jing took it and saw an ear next to the cup. The cup was engraved with three official characters "Huaqiu" and a line of small characters "Wang Kaizhenwan, Jin Dynasty", and a line of small characters "Su Shi, Meishan, saw in the Secret Mansion in April of the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Song Dynasty".
After reading this, Jia Jing smiled and said to Miaoyu, "I'm intent." Miaoyu looked up at Jia Jing when he heard this, and then smiled, because this sausage was not a cup that Miaoyu picked casually, but had a deep meaning.
"Shuowen: Doubu" says: "Jing is a jade lord, Xia is called Zhan, Yin is called Yu, Zhou is called Jue." That's right, this gourd is actually the kind of wine lord that everyone knows during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Jia Jing studied history in his previous life, so he actually didn't study the Redology deeply, so he only knew that this was a tea set prepared by Miaoyu for Baochai. The purpose was to Cao Gong's slandering the character characteristics of Baochai and Daiyu.
Jue is a wine vessel and a ritual vessel, and it is also solemn, with a retro Zhou ritual charm, so it is given to Baochai, who has always been polite.
But the intention for Jia Jing at this time was not the case. It was just that Jia Jing was a king and a prince. This title was originally a king and a king and a prince prepared in ancient times. It was not a king and a prince, so Miaoyu prepared this cup for Jia Jing.
Just now, while Jia Jing was playing with this cup, Miaoyu was also secretly observing Jia Jing. He only stayed on the two lines of small characters for a moment, and then thanked Miaoyu for his feelings. Miaoyu knew that Jia Jing did not thank him because of the preciousness of this cup, but really knew his intention.
Miaoyu couldn't help but feel moved. She actually smiled at Jia Jing, nodded and said nothing. She always thought that no need to say anything about the people who understand people, if she really only saw the value of this kind of literary and entertainment, it would be vulgar.
Although Jia Jing knew Miaoyu’s intention, to be honest, when he saw "Wang Kaizhen in Jin", Jia Jing was actually shocked!
This is Wang Kai, the one who fought with Shi Chong, when these two fought with him, used sugar water to brush a pot and burned candles as firewood. The forty miles of the road leading to their house were woven with purple silk to form a barrier! The two-foot-high coral tree was smashed and smashed, and then he gave you a bunch of three or four feet tall!
People at that time like to enjoy extravagance, and these two brothers are among the best! So do people have things that are not worthy of the table? The ancients liked and cherished things very much, and basically engraved their own names or poems on them as souvenirs.
For example, in Fuchun Mountain Residence, Emperor Qianlong wrote more than 80 poems on it... The titles were almost gone...
So since Wang Kai personally engraved his name, he also said "Qianwan" is something I like to play with and cherish very much. Think about it, how precious is this thing?
And Miaoyu can actually take out two such things at once...
It is right for Suzhou people to be rich, but they won’t be as rich as this? Can they be as rich as this? Jia Jing has long become a monk! So while Jia Jing was a little surprised, he couldn’t help but become very interested in Miaoyu’s life experience.
There is no excessive description of Miaoyu's life experience in the original book of the Red Mansion. It is just that Miaoyu's ancestors are also family members of scholars and officials. Moreover, Miaoyu seemed to have had a relationship with Xing Xiuyan when she was practicing at Panxiang Temple in Suzhou. All the remaining pasts about Miaoyu were not mentioned again.
Maybe it wasn't time for Cao to mention it, or maybe it wasn't important? Jia Jing didn't know, but what Jia Jing knew was that unless it was Heshen, if it was simply a "family of scholars and officials", he would never be able to take out the gourd!
Miaoyu also cooked tea at this time and everything was done. After pouring tea for Jia Jing, she asked for it, and then quietly watched Jia Jing use tea.
Jia Jing took a sip and then smiled and said, "Good tea, it's really a waste of resources to drink it for people like me who don't know how to drink tea." Miaoyu smiled slightly and said, "The Marquis doesn't look like someone who can't drink tea."
Jia Jing laughed dryly, and played with the gourd in his hand and said, "I am a vulgar military man. Miss Miaoyu may not know that I have never been able to drink any good and bad tea, but I am just a cow drink."
Miaoyu's face was stunned and looked at Jia Jing and said, "How did the Marquis know my name?" Jia Jing's heart skipped a beat, it was broken! She had never mentioned her name just now, and it was hard for a man to ask her name. Even though it was a magic number, it was not easy to ask randomly.
Who knew that Jia Jing was almost talking about it! Miaoyu clearly remembered that she had never mentioned her magic number to Jia Jing, so she couldn't help but look at Jia Jing with some strangeness at this time.
Jia Jing smiled without changing his expression and said, "Oh, my family raised it when I picked you up your mansion before, I remember it." Miaoyu raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, and said, "Is that true?"
Jia Jing smiled and looked at the rain outside the door to drink tea. Who knew that Miaoyu got up and walked into the house, and said to Jia Jing: "Please wait for a moment."
Jia Jing nodded, then Miaoyu put his hands together and walked backwards. After a while, she came back, but she walked out with a large cup with nine curved, ten rings, one hundred and twenty-sections in her hand.
Jia Jing was stunned when he saw this, but Miaoyu put the big cup in front of Jia Jing and said, "Do you want to use this?" Jia Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, I'm not too thirsty now."
Miaoyu smiled, but did not really use the big cup for Jia Jing. She just put it aside, and grabbed two melon seed charcoal in the stove, and said to Jia Jing: "I heard that the Marquis had also built aisles in his early years?"
Jia Jing was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and said, "I practice Taoism to correct my heart and nature, and I do not seek to become an immortal." Miaoyu looked at Jia Jing in surprise when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "Does the marquis think that our practice is all about becoming immortals and Buddhas?"
Jia Jing was speechless for a moment. When Miaoyu saw Jia Jing like this, she couldn't help laughing out loud. Jia Jing smiled bitterly and said, "You are not for becoming an immortal or a Buddha, but how do you know that what the world does is not like?"
Miaoyu couldn't help but feel a little thoughtful when she heard this. Jia Jing shook his head and said, "In this world, it is originally a practice. How many people can know that the true meaning of practice is not for the result, but for the cause on the road?"
Miaoyu nodded slowly, then smiled and said, "The Marquis seems to have a good understanding of Zen Buddhism?" Jia Jing said, "The three religions are perfect and integrated and absorbed each other for so many years. In fact, their thoughts are quite different."
When Miaoyu heard this, she was itchy and couldn't help but start discussing Buddhism and Taoism with Jia Jing. Jia Jing had nothing to do, so she chatted with her, just as she was passing the time. The two of them chatted from the afternoon until the time when they were holding the lights!
Only then did Jia Jing realize that Miaoyu was not as difficult as it seemed to be on the surface. Although she was indeed arrogant and noble, she was all people who looked down on her. In fact, if she caught her eyes, she would be extremely enthusiastic.
The only difference between her and Daiyu is that Daiyu is just arrogant on the face, but actually has her own scheming in her heart. Daiyu can see many things clearly, and she also has her own unique insights in dealing with people and life. Miaoyu is a simple little fool...
Originally, it was the age of a little girl, so she was inevitably a little competitive and occasionally she would play tricks with Jia Jing like a child. Jia Jing didn't know her like her, so the two of them naturally became more and more speculative.
When Miaoyu realized it, the sky outside had already turned dark and the fire on the stove had already been extinguished. Miaoyu said in surprise: "Has it been so long?"
Jia Jing smiled and teased, "Don't this just prove that Miss Miaoyu, you have entered the realm of transformation now? You are not moved by external objects!"
Miaoyu couldn't help but smile when she heard this, then got up and walked to the door and looked at it, "The rain doesn't seem to be about to stop..."
Jia Jing looked outside with a little worried look and nodded a little low. Seeing this, Miaoyu asked, "The Marquis seems to be very worried? Do you have something to be busy with?"
