back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 427
The three Wang Anshi brothers took advantage of the time when Wang Yu was reading the newspaper, picked up the teacup in front of them at the same time, and drank the fragrant tea in the cup.It's just that the expressions of the three people are different, Wang Anshi is full of thoughts, and the movements of drinking tea are clean and neat, without any sense of taste.

Wang Anguo, on the other hand, took a sip and closed his eyes as if he was playing with an antique, as if he had endless aftertaste.Wang Anli touched his lips lightly, as if he was afraid that the water would be too hot, and then he drank it all in one gulp. Like Wang Anguo, he squinted his eyes and recollected it.

Wang Anshi looked at them, smiled wryly and said, "Big Brother, Fourth Brother, it's just a cup of tea, how about it?"

Wang Anguo opened his eyes, sighed, and said, "It's still the tea from Brother San. We don't have access, so we can't buy such good tea. Surely this tea is comparable to tribute tea?"

When it comes to the tea ceremony, Wang Pang is very excited.He didn't succeed in his studies, the only thing he wanted was good tea, and he continued following Wang Anguo's words: "Uncle, this tea is comparable to tribute tea in my nephew's opinion."

"Oh, have you ever drank tribute tea?" Wang Anli also came back to his senses and asked with great interest.The three of them, uncle and nephew, are all tea lovers, and they are obsessed with drinking tea.

Wang Pang smiled and said: "Father Ji was joking, how could my nephew drink tribute tea. This tribute tea is produced on Fujian Road. It is called white tea and is the best tea. This tea is different from ordinary tea. , whose leaves are thin and thin, between the forest cliffs, born by chance, although it is not caused by manpower. There are only four or five plants; the living ones are only one or two plants; the production is limited to two or three hips. There are not many buds. It is especially difficult to steam and roast, and once the soup and fire are lost, it will become a regular product. It must be made delicately and carried out properly, and the surface and interior will be as clear as jade in the rough. It is incomparable. Light roasting also exists, but It is not as good as it is. It is so precious that ten or twenty thousand gold is not an exaggeration. It is regarded as a tribute tea and deserves its name. In addition, there are dragon and phoenix tea, Beijing collar, stone milk, tea milk, white milk, Longtuan Shengxue, More than forty kinds of tribute tea, including Gongxinkui, Shixinkui, and Beiyuan Xianchun, are all good teas in the world. It is a pity that my nephew has only heard of their names but never tasted them. It is another kind of tea in Fujian, called Late Ganhou. According to legend, during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, this tea was offered to King Wu of Zhou along with the princes of the Pumin tribe. .”

Wang Anguo was very surprised: "Unexpectedly, Pang'er is not talented in reading, but this study of tea scriptures is quite insightful."

Wang Pang smiled shyly and said, "My nephew is good at the tea ceremony, which made my uncle laugh. If my uncle is not used to drinking Ganhou this evening, my nephew has other famous teas, such as Dongting New Blood Tea, Yongchun Bergamot, Gu Zhu Purple bamboo shoots, Yangxian tea, Ruilong tea, Rizhu tea, Shuangjing tea, Xieyuan tea, Ya'an Luya, Mengding tea, Linjiang Yujin, Yuanzhou gold slices, Qingfengsui, Naxi Meiling, Padang Zhenxiang, Long Buds, Fangshan dew buds, Wuguo tea, Puer tea, Jiukeng tea, Waterfall Ridge tea, Wulong tea, Zhenru tea, Ziyan tea, Hushan tea, Luyuan tea, Dakun tea, Xiaokun tea, baked pit tea , Xikeng tea, Jingshan tea, Tiantai tea, Tianzunyan tribute tea, Xi'an tea, Shijianling tea, Yashan tea, bird's mouth tea, Baoyun tea, Longqiu tea, moon rabbit tea, Huawu tea, cactus, Ziyang tea, Xinyang tea, Huangling tea, Longjing tea, Huqiu tea, Dongting tea, Lingshan tea, Shaping tea, Qiongzhou tea, Emei Xueya tea, Wolong tea, Xiuren tea..."

Wang Pang talked vigorously, like a few treasures, he said all the tea names in Dashun.But Wang Anshi was restless, and before he finished speaking, he drank, "Chachacha, I only know how to drink tea all day long, so why don't you learn from your elder brother and read more poems and books?"

Seeing that Wang Anshi was angry, Wang Anli hurriedly persuaded him: "Third brother, it's not that you don't know what kind of temperament Panger is. Don't make things difficult for him. It's rare that he is interested in tea art. It's not a bad thing to study it. You see , don't you also agree with him to set up this tea house?"

Wang Anshi said bitterly: "At the beginning, I agreed with him to build a teahouse, so that he could cultivate his moral character and settle down to read classic historical books. But he was lucky, put the cart before the horse, and memorized the "Tea Classic" upside down. He didn't even touch the Four Books and Five Classics. ,you say……"

"Brother, forget it, drink a cup of tea and calm down!" Wang Anguo also persuaded.

Seeing that he had offended his father again, Wang Pang quickly knelt down, made a cup of tea for Wang Anshi respectfully, and said sincerely, "Daddy, I know I was wrong."

Wang Anshi looked at his honest and honest appearance, and sighed slightly. This child is filial. He has three sons and three daughters.A son and a daughter died young.There are not many grandsons, but Wang Pang gave birth to a grandson named Wang Tong.But Wang Yu has been married for a long time, but because of his health, he has never had a child, until today he adopted one from his fourth brother Wang Anli.Thinking of his filial piety, he became less angry, took a sip from the teacup, calmed down, and said: "Get up, you go back to the house, I have something to say to your uncle and elder brother."

Wang Pang knew that he had no room to interrupt what they were discussing.Fortunately, there is also a tea set in the room, so I am not lonely.It's just that the sound of the pipa in the teahouse was missing. Thinking of the pipa played by the singer, Wang Pang couldn't help sighing in his heart: "If you hear this music, you should be able to embrace the moon in the sky." Then he got up silently and walked to the study.

Wang Anguo and Wang Anli looked at each other, and they both saw worry in each other's eyes.The Wang family was in bad luck. Although they took off the title of a family of merchants and merchants, they obtained the qualifications for the scientific examination.But among their generation, the most outstanding eldest brother Wang Anren, second brother Wang Andao, and Wang Anshi's second brother Wang Anshi all passed away early.Among Wang Anshi's brothers, he was the oldest, followed by Wang Anguo, Wang Anshang and Wang Anli.At this time, Wang Anshang was out of town and couldn't come back.But in terms of the Wang family's family prestige, he will definitely go home to take the scientific examination.

It's just that their descendants have nothing to achieve.The most outstanding Wang Xi was born unlucky and sick.If you can't grasp the opportunity, relying on the next generation will be even more slim. When will the Wang family truly become a scholarly family, a family of officials and eunuchs?

At this time, Wang Yu finally finished reading "Dashun Minbao", handed the newspaper to Wang Anshi, and fell silent.Wang Anli wondered, "Yuanze, do you have any insights?"

Wang Yu nodded and said: "Uncle, according to my nephew, the ten-rank official system promoted by the Holy Majesty is consistent with my father's idea of ​​employing people, and it is only useful. It's just such a strong implementation, I am afraid that scholars in the world will refuse to accept it. From this point of view, my Dashun is about to come again..."

Wang Anli laughed and said, "If you had the Holy Majesty's temperament, you would definitely not forgive Enke to win over the minds of the scholars in the world. It must be the elder Xu Ge who gave the advice to the Holy Majesty."

Wang Anguo nodded, and said: "The third brother is right. With His Majesty's temperament, he must want to take drastic measures. Think about the case of the supervisory department a few years ago. More than 200 officials lost their heads, and it was King Zhou of Shang. I have never done such a thing like wantonly hunting down and killing officials. Although there is a reason for the incident, the methods used by the Holy Majesty are too ruthless. If Grand Master Yang did not take care of the overall situation and refused to fight with the Holy Majesty, I am afraid that Dashun would have already been in turmoil..."

(Note: Wanganhou is a kind of rock tea in Wuyi Mountain. Dongting New Blood Tea is another name for Dongting Biluochun. The ancients also called Biluochun "Kung Fu Tea" and "New Blood Tea". Now Guangdong still retains "Kung Fu Tea" "This kind of name.)
