Seventeen, grandson is Su Shi

Zhou Xuanzhi, a book-teacher in Jinling, won the ninth place in Lu Hongjian, who ranked the top ten tea tasting masters, which amazed the major tea merchants and tea tasting masters present. Zeng Daqian was ecstatic, his fat face turned red, and he became rich, and he really made a fortune. He compared Xie Yuan tea. In the future, Huangshan Rongcheng Tea will be the top tea in Shezhou. It is not uncommon for the tea price to double. He bet on Zhou Xuan.

Manager Fu Da signaled everyone to be quiet and said, "Everyone, as of now, there are 98 kinds of teas coming to participate in this Shezhou tea party, 191 big tea merchants, and more than 1,000 tea merchants distributed in various places. There are 52 kinds of tea leaves and 89 tea tasting masters under their name through the three passes of the bamboo shed. Now, tea fighting has officially begun. Last year, the top ten tea tasting masters, and the book boy of Zhou Xuanzhi, temporarily watched the wall and entered the top 36."

Zhou Xuan whispered in Fairy Jingyi's ear: "Sister Daoyun, you are so strong. You have already enjoyed the treatment of the top ten tea tasting masters, and I will start from the first round."

Fairy Jingyi smiled slightly: "Brother Xuan, fight."

Lin Hanyun frowned and said, "Brother Zhou Xuan, my sister can't help you now. You are fighting alone, but you can't pass the first round!"

Zhou Xuan glared at her: "You can't say something nice?"

Lin Hanyun said "Oh" and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Zhou Xuan, who has passed the hurdles and entered the top ten."

Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "This is almost the same."

Lin Hanyun sighed, "Oh, honest words are unpleasant, I like to listen to good things."

In addition to Lu Hongjian, the top ten teapots in the teapot last year, there was another person who did not attend this year's tea party. There were nine people watching the wall and Fairy Jingyi, and the remaining eighty people had to pass three more levels, which means they had to pass three patios. Each patio had test questions, which were all related to tea.

Eighty people were divided into four groups: "Heaven, Earth, Xuan, Huang", with twenty people in each group. They went out from the doors on all sides of the hall in turn, and walked back to the hall through three patios. This means that all three passes were passed. Those who could not return to the hall were unable to pass the checkpoint and went directly out of the "Ming Zhan Hall".

The four groups pass the test at the same time. Anyway, there are many patios in "Ming Zhan Hall". Isn't it called 36 patios?

Zhou Xuan was in the tenth place of the "Xuan Group". When it was his turn, a "Ming Zhan Hall" friend led him out from the west gate of the hall, passed a short corridor, and turned to a patio. There were exquisitely carved railings around the patio. A manager said expressionlessly: "This first level is a poem title-"

Zhou Xuan thought to himself: "We also test the poems and the poems are the best friends." Then he heard the manager say: "—Please recite the poet monk Jiaoran's "Drinking Tianmu Mountain Tea to Lu Xun, and sending to Yuan Jushi Sheng."

Zhou Xuan was stunned.

The manager waited for a while, and saw that Zhou Xuan had no response, he said, "Can't you answer? If you can't answer, please pass through the small door here. You can go straight out of the 'Ming Zhan Hall' through the corridor."

Zhou Xuan asked: "When fighting tea, what poems do you still recite?"

The manager said: "This is a question drawn by several veterans in the tea world. I just need to execute it. If you can't answer it, please go out."

Zhou Xuan said: "Let's wait, listen to me. I'm happy to see the meeting of the quiet people, and the first time I opened the tea of ​​wild guests. The leaves of the east well are formed, and the dew is harvested from the north mountain buds. The fragrance of the fire is better, and the taste of the cold spring is good. I throw a gang into foam and gather flowers in a bowl. I'm a little closer to the Zen scriptures, and I'll sleep on the net. I know that you are in the sky, and this is endless."

The manager opened the door behind him and made a gesture of asking for help.

Zhou Xuan strides forward with a high head, feeling the joy of successfully cheating in the exam. He really didn't expect that the old man who cooked tea in the bamboo hut was actually a veteran of the tea tasting industry! Haha, my buddy is lucky. If I hadn't got that teapot, I really didn't know that there was this poem. After all, this poem is not a famous poem. Although my buddy has a good memory, it is impossible to memorize all the ancient poems, that would be too much!

By the way, there is another poem on the teapot. I wonder if it is used for the next level?

When he arrived at the second courtyard, he was a manager and said, "This is another poem title-"

Zhou Xuan smiled happily, and no longer knew about the more pleasant things in advance, so he listened to the topic with a smile.

The manager said: "Collection of snow on the pine branches to make tea, and there is a fragrance of pine nuts. Please tell me which poem mentions making tea with pine snow?"

Zhou Xuan laughed and said repeatedly: "If you ask good questions, you will have to be so elegant when you ask good questions.

The manager smiled and said, "It seems that this question is not difficult for this young master, please answer."

Zhou Xuan said: "Lu Guimeng's poem "Booking Tea" mentions the use of pine and snow to make tea. Do you need to recite the whole poem?"

The manager said: "Just answer the poem's title--"

Zhou Xuanxin's poems were not allowed to be recited, and he said, "It's better to recite them. You have to answer all the questions. When you are free, sit in the pine tree and watch the boiled pine tree on the snow. Sometimes you are in the waves and put down the blue ingredient. You are so refreshing and healthy, and suddenly it seems that the atmosphere is gone. It's not suitable to read books, but you should look at the jade letters."

The manager opened the door behind him and smiled and said, "Young master is a talented man, a good scholar, and you are a good writer. Please enter the third level."

It’s really easy to pass two levels of the two poems, and it’s so exciting. So what is the third level?

The third patio is a rectangular table and a row of six tea bowls. This time I compare my true skills and distinguish water!

No matter how lucky you are, no matter how others help you, it depends on your true ability in the end. The strong are lucky. I have never heard of any weak person who will be lucky together.

Zhou Xuan's tongue was dancing happily in his mouth, and he was warming up before tasting water. He often kissed Lin Hanyun these days. The girl liked to suck his tongue and kept it in sucking it. The tip of her tongue was hurt. I'm afraid her taste buds would be damaged. If you can't tell the smell of water later, you will hit Lin Hanyun when you go back.

The manager said: "This is all famous springs and rivers in the world. I will never deliberately scoop a bowl into any small river to make things difficult. Please taste it."

Zhou Xuan picked up the first cup of water, tasted it, and said, "This is the Zhaoyin Spring Water in Lushan."

After picking up the second cup of the sketch, he replied: "This is the cold spring water of the Yangtze River."

In Jinling, there are many famous springs in the world that can be bought in the market, a few coins a barrel. Zhou Xuan followed Fairy Jingyi to study tea ceremony. He didn't leave his home. He tasted all famous springs and famous waters in the world. He drank at least a hundred taels of silver. The so-called poor, rich and martial arts, and wanted to be a tea tasting master. If you don't have money, you can't taste all kinds of water in the world. Otherwise, you have to travel thousands of miles and find water to drink. But that also costs money. Xu Xiake, a great traveler in the Ming Dynasty, was rich, so doing art requires money, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, cocks and insects, all cost money.

Zhou Xuan sent out the remaining four cups of water one by one, namely: "Guangling Shugangfeng Spring, Jixi Water, Bamboo Water, and Luyu Spring Water in Guangjiao Temple, Xinzhou."

The manager praised: "Young Master is very good at appreciating it. Congratulations."

Zhou Xuangong bowed and entered through the door behind the manager, and it was the hall.

Lin Hanyun cheered and ran over to take his hand and jumped.

Zhou Xuan walked to Fairy Jingyi and told her about the three levels of passage. Fairy Jingyi smiled and said, "This is a good result of Brother Xuan's love for tea. The female Taoist must have stumped many tea tasting masters when these first two levels are coming, and many tea tasting masters do not understand poetry."

After a while, all eighty people from the four groups of "Heaven, Earth, Xuan, Huang" passed the three levels, and only twenty-three people were able to return to the hall. It is estimated that most of them were stopped in the first two levels.

Suddenly, a tall and thin tea-piper rushed in from the main entrance of the hall and shouted: "I don't agree! I don't agree!" Two "Pinming Hall" guys followed behind, and the guy shouted: "He forced him! He forced him!"

When Zhou Xuan saw that this tall and thin man had just met, he was a tea tasting master from Baiya Tea in Meizhou. He probably failed to pass the barrier and rushed back to the hall to shout for justice.

Manager Fu Da said: "Mr. Su, you are treated equally by passing the barriers. Why don't you accept it?"

The tea-speaking master named Su said angrily: "I ranked 11th in the tea party last year, but I can't even pass the first round this year. Is this fair? The tea-speaking master discusses tea art, but he tests what poetry is it, and it is extremely ridiculous."

Su's tea tasting master was confident and prepared to enter the top ten at this year's tea party, and then recommended their Meizhou Baiya tea, which would be a few thousand taels of silver. Unexpectedly, he was stunned in the first level. He didn't know who the poet's monk Jiaoran was? So he was dissatisfied and rushed back to question.

Manager Fu Da lowered his face and said, "Mr. Su, when a tea tasting master reaches a high level, it is not just a skill, but an elegant art that can be known as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It must be influenced by poetry and calligraphy. Only poetry and books can complement the tea ceremony. This is the purpose of using tea poetry as the test question."

Zhou Xuan whispered to Fairy Jingyi: "This manager Fu is very insightful."

Fairy Jingyi nodded: "Poetry and wine, poems and tea have always been like sisters."

After Fairy Jingyi said this, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but look at Lin Hanyun and thought to himself: "Shi and tea are sisters, Daoyun's sister is tea, will Lin Hanyun be poetry? No, what kind of poem is this!"

When Lin Hanyun saw Zhou Xuan looking at her, she smiled sweetly at Zhou Xuan. The girl was still charming. She had achieved remarkable results in the past few days. How should she train her next step?

The tea-pepper named Su kept shouting: "I don't agree! I don't agree!"

Manager Fu Da said majesticly: "Shopkeeper Liao of Meishan Baiya Tea, hurry up and take your tea tasting master out, otherwise, if you disturb the venue, you Baiya Tea will be punished."

Manager Liao knew that the Tea Merchants Alliance had a great influence, and he couldn't stand the punishment, so he hurried to persuade Mr. Su: "Mr. Su, let's go out first. With Mr. Mr. Tea Art, he will be ranked among the top three next year."

Mr. Su paused and said, "I must read thousands of books when I go back to Meizhou and then go out. I hope that my future generations will express it into poetry." After that, he left the hall with Manager Liao.

Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "This person named Su is a character, it's a pity to get out like this."

What Zhou Xuan didn't know was that it was because he returned home in a desperate situation at this tea-fighting conference because he could not recite poems. Mr. Su worked hard and studied poetry hard. He did not read anything. He told his son Su Xu to read and write poetry at the end of his death. Su Xu was the most outstanding, and he was able to write poetry. However, his poems were average and had not been passed down. Su Xu's son was named Su Xun. Su Xun was good at poetry and literature and had outstanding talents, but he gave birth to a bunch of good sons. Two of the most amazing ones were Su Shi and Su Che!

Su Shi is the super writer Zhou Xuan admires the most. It turns out that the great poet was born because of his ancestors' failure in a tea fight, which no one expected!

The "Ming Zhan Hall" tea-fighting event continued. The nine tea-smelling masters who were originally watching on the wall joined the battle group, and combined with the twenty-three tea-fighting masters who had passed through the three passes of the courtyard to the top 32. They drew lots to catch the tea-fighting match.

Zhou Xuan's opponent is the tea-tasting master of Jingzhou Xianren Tea. He entered the top 36 last year and entered again this year. He wanted to go further, but he met the mysterious Zhou Xuanzhi. Zhou Xuanzhi's book boy defeated Lu Hongjian. The book boy was like this. The master was even more powerful. So he couldn't help but be afraid. This tea battle is the same as a chess battle. He pays attention to cultivating his mind and nature. He is timid before he even takes action. He is inevitable that he will fail. The tea tea-tasting master performs abnormally. After the heat is over, the tea powder is stuck on the cup and is sentenced to be lost.

Zhou Xuan was lucky enough to enter the top 16, and Fairy Jingyi also advanced smoothly. However, when he drew two draws, Zhou Xuan actually drew Fairy Jingyi. He was stunned and asked Manager Fu Da to change his opponent.

Manager Fu Da said: "Young Master Zhou, the opponent cannot be changed. This is the rule of Ming Zhan."

Fairy Jingyi whispered: "Brother Xuan, why don't I quit."

Zhou Xuan said: "That's not possible. I know my strength and it's already very lucky to be able to enter the top 16. My sister should strive to enter the top 3. This way, it would be powerful to recommend Rong Chengcha."

Fairy Jingyi said: "Brother Xuan, I lost this game in the female road, and I still have a chance to compete for the top ten."

Zhou Xuan thought, yes, the winner occupies the quarterfinals, and there are two places for the eight losers to compete for, and said, "Okay, sister, be careful, don't miss it. Let's join hands to enter the quarterfinals, how happy!"

Fairy Jingyi said "um" and the two began to fight tea. Fairy Jingyi was defeated and Zhou Xuan entered the quarterfinals.

In the two tea fights for the last two places in the top ten, Fairy Jingyi defeated her opponent with "illusion tea technique" and finally reached the top ten. The two "illusion tea techniques" were one to show an old tree and the other to show a stone bridge. Although it dispersed in a moment, it was also amazing.
