"Even Paimon doesn't believe you!"

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Hug and chat with each other. It's nothing strange, right?"

Linghua, who was exposed, smiled naturally, and then asked back: "It's strange, teacher, why did you come to the house with the travelers? What's the relationship between you? You deliberately lied to me silently, just wait and see I pay for the food, right? The machine is thousands of miles... Zhong... Well, it turns out that I was a clown all the time just now, huh, teacher, you still cooperated with her, when did you become so bad, teacher? This is not what a teacher should do, right? ?”

Linghua chattered uncharacteristically, looked at Zhongli resentfully, and wanted him to give an explanation, but he just shook his head and smiled: "Water turns easily, but rocks don't move. It's just acting on the human side."

He looked at Ying with a sense of affection and dependence, Linghua's heart moved, and she understood the general idea.

Getting along with her in the past made her know that Zhongli was Liyue's fairy, but the feeling given to Linghua by the teacher at that time was slightly different from that given to Linghua at this time, and it was more human-like. Traveler...she changed the teacher...not herself...

Linghua had mixed feelings in her heart.

"Anyway, since the teacher is here, let me entertain you first... I'll go and order the maid to make some food, and you wait in the tea room next door."

Saying so, Linghua trotted open the door and left the living room, Pimon couldn't help but nodded, "Then I'll be ready for you, Linghua, I want to eat tuna sushi!"

"Then I want Sancai dumplings!"

"Okay Traveler...0"

The compartment is a tea room, made of bamboo, wood and reed grass, with a small area, only four and a half stacks, small and elegant, and compact in structure, which is convenient for the host and guest to have a heart-to-heart conversation.

There are alcoves, floor stoves and various wooden windows in the tea room. On one side, there is a water room for boiling water, making tea, tea tasting utensils and cleaning utensils. The man in Liyue, next to him hangs a bamboo vase with camellias in it.

The three of them took their seats, thinking that Linghua was just going out to order the maid and would be back soon, but for some reason, it took a lot of time.

After waiting in the tea room for a long time, almost grinding the calligraphy and painting thoroughly, Linghua came late.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long, um... let's have some snacks first, the food will be served soon."

The maid who was following Linghua brought a few plates of Inazuma's desserts such as three-color dumpling and sakura pancake, and then knelt back and closed the door.

Linghua sat on her knees, lit the tea kettle to boil water, took out a little incense from the incense box and lit it, and while the water was being boiled in the stove, Linghua asked casually: "Master, did you come here today because of the traveler?"

"Um.""

Zhongli nodded slightly, and Linghua glanced at Paimeng, who couldn't sit still, who was floating around, and then glanced at Paimeng, who was concentrating on these cumbersome tea ceremony utensils and picked them up to observe with a curious expression on his face.

Ying, feeling a little depressed.

"I think so, the teacher will never come to visit for no reason.

After all, now I have learned enough to be a teacher, so Mr. Zhongli came less and less often, so that after that, I didn't come to Shenli Mansion 2.4 for a long time.

Although Immortal Liyue is detached from the world, but after all he has his own territory and people who need to be protected, it is impossible for him to care about himself wholeheartedly.

If, if I could pretend to be a little stupid...

But that won't work. Although I don't know how my father invited Mr. Zhongli as a guest to act as my tutor, but Linghua didn't want to deliberately make no achievements in kendo, tea art, calligraphy and painting because of her own selfishness, so that she was punished. Father looked down upon the teacher.

The water was already boiling, Linghua put the very fine tea powder sieved by Si Luo into a bowl, and filled it with boiling water.

When he was stirring and beating the tea soup with the tea constitution quickly, he heard Zhongli say again:

"There are also reasons for wanting to see you."

Linghua's heart skipped a beat.

Raised cheeks, brows stretched slightly.

Sure enough, the teacher has changed...become more humane. .

Chapter 23 On Tea Ceremony

"When stirring and beating, don't stop."

"Ah... yes, teacher."

"You shouldn't be distracted at times like this."

"Well... what the teacher taught is..."

"This tea has been under the sun for a long time, and it is light and powerless. If it is good, it should be as light as the tip of a sword, and it will not foam when it comes out."

"Yes, I'm sorry, the maintenance is not good, I'm really sorry! I clearly know that the teacher is very particular!"

"I don't blame you, I just said that casually,"

"Next time I will treat it well. This time I was in a hurry. I didn't expect the teacher to come..."

"It means that you only do these superficial tricks when you know I'm coming?"

"Ah, no, no..."

Paimeng, who was eating snacks, and Ying, who was observing the water injection, looked at each other, and both looked at Zhongli and Linghua.Ling Hua, who lowered her head slightly and kept nodding to admit her mistake, her eyes seemed to be filled with tears, felt that she was getting farther and farther away from the aloof young lady before.

"Okay Zhongli, why are you so serious all of a sudden, Linghua is frightened by you.

No, I want to be criticized more, and 30 to be more serious, because I like this the most... Linghua's careful thinking, how could Paimeng know that this is the first time Paimeng has seen Zhongli's side, It feels... quite interesting! Especially the humble person is still the young lady of the Shenli family who treats her and Ying as tool people, which is so cool!

"Well, teacher... have some tea.

Ling Hua held the bowl in her left palm, and held the edge of the bowl with five fingers in her right hand, and lifted the tea bowl respectfully to Zhongli.

Zhongli took a sip without making a sound, and passed it to Ying to taste.

Ying blinked, and held the tea bowl in a natural way, aiming at the mouth of the bowl that Zhongli had touched, and drank all the tea in it.

Ah, the smell of Mr. Zhongli, this is an indirect kiss, right??

Ying showed a look of intoxication, reluctantly put down the tea bowl, and praised "It's delicious! Miss Shenli's tea art is good!", but seeing Linghua looking at her dumbfoundedly, Paimeng also stretched out his hand to him, opened his eyes looking at her.

...Traveler, your "tea art" is not bad!

"Huh? What's the matter, looking at me like that, is there something wrong?"

Ying cast a puzzled look, Zhongli burst out laughing,

"There's nothing wrong with it, but according to Inazuma's tea ceremony, we should take turns taking a sip of Linghua's tea bowl to savor its taste, and you should give it to

Paimon, let her have a drink too.

"...What a faux pas! "

Ying clasped her hands together to apologize, and Pai Meng, who was holding a bunch of dumplings, mumbled, "I don't know how to do as the Romans do, Ying is such a villain, I am so thirsty! I was waiting for this bowl of tea from you to quench my thirst! "

"It's okay, let's keep it simple."

Zhong Li smiled and shook his head, "This is not a tea party, so it can't be considered rude, it's just a bowl of tea among acquaintances, Linghua, let's make a bowl of tea for Paimeng first."

"Okay, teacher."

After a while, the maid opened the door again and informed that the dishes were ready to be placed in the compartment.

"Speaking of which, this tea ceremony is too cumbersome, it just doesn't follow the formal procedure, it feels completely opposite to Liyue's."

Ying couldn't stop muttering, Zhongli smiled and nodded:

"Inazuma's tea ceremony has a strong religious color from the very beginning, and the essence of the tea ceremony is harmony, respect and tranquility.

Inazuma's tea art was inherited from Liyue, but Liyue paid more attention to the practicality and artistic beauty of tea sets, and did not consider the tea ceremony from a metaphysical point of view. The root of it is the profound historical and cultural factors.

Liyue's tea culture was developed from bottom to top in the countryside and in the folk soil.Liyue first had the tea culture of the common people, and then the tea culture of the palace.

Say.

For Liyue people, tea is the folk custom first, and the spiritual enjoyment second.

Daozu is different. Since the introduction of Liyue thousands of years ago, tea art was first used as a high-level cultural form and circulated among the royal family and nobles of Daozu. And form a social consensus.

Therefore, under the choice of the history and culture of the two countries, the tea culture has developed along two diametrically opposed paths, just like the contract is to Liyue, and eternity is to Dao's wife, one side is water and soil, and the other side is raised. "

"Liyue is from bottom to top, and Dao's wife is from top to bottom... It feels very similar to the current ruling situation between the two countries!"

After listening to Zhongli's explanation, Ying thought deeply, "Now that the God of Rock has abdicated, the people of Liyue are in charge of Liyue, and Dao's wife is under the jurisdiction of General Lei Dian and is limited by the shogunate army. rule…"

"Tea culture has penetrated into every aspect."

Paimon also clicked her tongue slightly, she stretched out her hand to take the newly ordered tea that Linghua handed over at this time, and drank it in one gulp.

Linghua stared at Ying, and also replied out loud, "Yes, the cultures between Liyue and Inaozuma seem to be the same, but they are actually quite different, and the tea aspect is even more vivid.

Liyue's tea culture is advancing with the times through the pursuit of the color, fragrance and artistic conception of tea. Its tea making method is developing in the direction of natural simplicity and life. More and more pursue the natural color, fragrance and shape of tea itself, endowing tea with the artistry of rich aesthetic appeal.

It conforms to Liyue literati's nature of advocating nature and pursuing the unity of man and nature.

On the other hand, Inazuma introduced the tea-ordering method abandoned by Liyue Xiang, and gradually developed into the matcha ceremony with a strong religious color. The unchanging steamed green tea powder, using the set of cumbersome tea ordering utensils and methods that Liyue no longer uses, has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

This really coincides with the eternity pursued by General Lei Dian. "

"Miss Shenli is so thorough. She is indeed the famous princess Bailu with Dao's wife."

"The 690 miles are just the teacher's good teaching in the past."

With a look of admiration in her eyes, Linghua quickly waved her hands. If it weren't for the presence of the teacher, she would not be able to have such a comprehensive understanding of the tea culture between the two countries.

"Then Linghua, do you prefer Inazuma's or Liyue's way of drinking tea?"

Paimon blinked and asked curiously.

Linghua held her white chin in thought, "If you want me to say it, it's Liyue..."

"why? "

"Let's put it this way, Daofu people pay more attention to the form and teachings of the tea ceremony, far more than the pursuit of the aroma of tea soup. They have a strong sense of ritual and a very cumbersome process. It is precisely this pursuit that leads to the same extremely complicated The outdoor culture and tea room culture.

Liyue does not have a complicated tea house culture, but only teahouse culture and tea stall culture. In the land of Liyue, tea is a daily need, it is the seven things to open the door, it is a pastime for listening to stories, and it is a rest for laborers. When the big mouth carefree.

The teacher once told me: You can drink tea while listening to books in Heyu Teahouse, or you can drink a refreshing big bowl of tea while listening to old people chatting about housework in Shimen.

You can only expect that this book is not enough to listen to, the tea bowl is not big enough, and you will not pay attention to the beauty of art and illusion. Quiet tea room culture.

I like the human touch better.

Chapter 24 Ling Huaxin

"Ayaka spoke well!"

Paimeng applauded again and again, "Even I, a layman who knows little about the tea culture of Liyue and Daozuma, is the first to know that there are so many ways in it! Linghua, you are really too strong!"

"No, the teacher taught well."

Linghua waved her hand in embarrassment, showing shyness on her face, Zhongli shook her head and said: "There is no need to belittle yourself, since you have learned this, then it is your own. Some of the insights are also conclusions that only you can draw. "

"Well... yes, yes, teacher, I shouldn't be humble..."
