Chapter 80 Tea Thoughts (1)

In the early morning, the red sun rises eastward. The green bamboo forest sends out a guest in the sun.

"Oh, it's a failure. Brother Lu didn't even show his face this time." As he murmured to himself, Ouyang Tu stepped out of the bamboo garden.

"You stop here. Please tell your master for me and say I am grateful for his hospitality. If I have the chance, I will visit again." Ouyang Tu bowed and walked into the distance without waiting for the other party to respond.

At the entrance of the bamboo garden, the boy stood in the local area and watched him look away.

After a long time, he turned around and closed the gate of the bamboo garden.

"Sir, the guest has been sent away. Before leaving, he expressed his gratitude to you and said he would visit you again." In the bamboo forest, the boy repeated the other person's words to his husband.

"Ouyang Tu is actually a lobbyist for a vassal commander this time, which is interesting." Lu Yuqing and a pleasant male voice chuckled softly.

"Sanlang, what do you think of Wang Hongyi?" After a moment, Lu Yu continued to ask.

The boy was actually a relative. He thought for a while and said, "I have never seen him, so it's hard to comment."

"Haha, that's the reason. Even you understand these things, Brother Ouyang must understand them too? Okay, you go down."

"promise."

The footsteps were getting farther and there was only one person left here.

This mountain is not high, only hundreds of meters, but the bamboo forest is deep, with green bamboos, wild flowers and old vines along the way, and mountain birds and birds singing, all of which make people feel refreshed. Standing in one place, I saw the mountain wind gusts and the bamboo forest roaring like a tide. The sunshine seeped from the bamboo forest reflected into the deep eyes.

At this time, Lu Yu sighed quietly and said to himself: "Brother Ouyang, if I guess correctly, you have some connection with the Hidden Sect. Back then, there were many coincidences when you met me. This time, I didn't hesitate to come here again and be the last lobbyist. Could it be... Is this Wang Hongyi the one you chose?"

"Even if it is Qianlong in Shu, so what? How can this heavenly way be controlled by mortals? If it is mixed with it, it will only lose its blessings and lose its life in vain!"

This sigh surrounds gently among the bamboo forest and lasts for a long time.

"Master, you can go to Hehou Town for another ten miles."

Along the way, there were small households. When Wang Hongyi saw a small town street from a distance, he wiped his sweat and said, "I understand, let's rest, it's the morning, it's just so hot!"

"Master, the hottest months in July and August!" said a servant.

Wang Hongyi looked around and said, "I have heard of this Hehou Town. It's not the same as the May Day episode today, and there are not many people on the road... Huh?"

I saw a ox cart with a scholar on it. I slowly came over. The man's face was slightly longer and decorated very neatly. He had a smile between his eyebrows and eyes, and his eyes were clear and beautiful.

When he saw the group of people, the man just bowed and continued to move forward.

There are no windows on both sides of the ox carriage, and there is a thin bamboo mat on it. People are in it, and they are very leisurely and comfortable.

"Master, is there any problem with this person? Do we need us..." The captain of the guard Gan Hou saw Wang Hongyi staring at this person, so he asked for instructions.

"No need, keep on rushing." Wang Hongyi said, urging the horse to move forward.

Gan Hou turned his head to look at the man and rode his horse to chase him.

"It's really surprising. I saw the prince in this kind of place. Could it be that he was visiting Brother Lu? This is a coincidence." Seeing that the team had passed, Ouyang Tufang chuckled.

However, the ox cart continued to walk slowly towards a road, and disappeared in just a moment.

"Master, the person who was so arrogant just now was coming out of Zhulin Town again. Could it be the one you are visiting?" At this time, Gan Houzheng had already followed, and finally couldn't help but talk to Wang Hongyi with his doubts.

After hearing this, Wang Hongyi said, "He is not."

Seeing Wang Hongyi's affirmation surprised Gan Hou very much, but he didn't dare to ask too much. He thought to himself: "Can the Lord know the Master of Zhuyuan?"

Wang Hongyi did know Lu Yu, but he was in his previous life.

The team continued to move forward and reached the foot of the mountain. Looking up, it was seen that the mountain was not high, almost hundreds of meters, and most of it turned into a bamboo forest.

When they arrived at the manor below, everyone dismounted.

"Master, this is Zhuyuan. I'll go call the door?" Ganhou said with an instructor.

"Yeah." Wang Hongyi nodded.

I was so happy that I walked over and knocked on the door.

After a while, the bamboo door opened from the inside and a boy walked out from the inside.

"What's the matter with you?" The boy was stunned when he saw the many people outside the door.

"My lord came to visit Mr. Lu and asked this little brother to come in and report it." Gan Hou said politely because Wang Hongyi had given instructions before.

"Your lord?" Looking at the people behind, his eyes fell on Wang Hongyi. The boy bowed to Wang Hongyi and asked, "I don't know what you call me? Xiao Dahao reported to the master."

"Wenyang Mansion, Wang Hongyi." Wang Hongyi said with a smile.

Hearing this name, the boy looked a little strange, but he still replied politely: "Okay, please wait a moment, and the younger one will come in and report it."

As he said that, he walked quickly inside.

After a while, two people walked out. Following the boy, there was a man with a handsome manner and a gentle smile, which made people suddenly feel like a spring breeze.

"As soon as I came down from the mountain, I heard the birds singing. I was thinking that it was General Dingyuan who arrived. Lu had never met him. He asked the general to forgive him."

After Wang Hongyi looked at it, this person overlapped with Lu Yu in his impression. When he focused his mind, he saw that this person's Yunqi was different from the people he had seen before.

The clear light is faintly condensed in the body, and the mind is of great significance, but it is not a rich person.

When the second generation reunites, Wang Hongyi helps the other party up and says warmly: "It was Wang's sudden visit, not Mr. Mr. Wang's fault. This sudden visit was caused by Wang's disturbance. But I heard that Mr. Mr. Wang is a good person of tea ceremony. He also knows that Mr. Li lives in seclusion here. If he doesn't ask Mr. Mr. Li for advice on tea art, wouldn't it be a pity?"

"The general has been too much. Lu just understands this. He is not a master. This statement is just a casual statement from the people outside. He really dares not take it, he really dares not take it."

After the two of them said a few words at the door, Lu Yu invited everyone into the bamboo garden.

Regardless of the bamboo forest on the mountain, there are also places to see the bamboo garden at the foot of the mountain. I saw that they were all small monuments, without glass, and were made of window paper. In the yard, against the wall, there were plum trees all over the yard.

Wang Hongyi smiled and said, "A real elegant man, if I came earlier, I would have seen the plum blossom scene."

"The countryside is not worth mentioning. However, it is indeed a blessing to have tea tasting among the plum blossoms." Lu Yu replied with a smile: "Of course, it is better to be in the bamboo forest on the mountain at this time."

"Mr. Wang has such honor? I am willing to play tea with my husband." Looking at the bamboo forest on the mountain, Wang Hongyi said with a smile.

The mountain is not high, only a hundred meters long. Although Lu Yu had just come down, he didn't object to going up again. He said casually: "Since the general is happy, let's go up and play."

As he said that, he ordered the servant to go and prepare.

The guards were all left in the village, and only Ganhou, followed Wang Hongyi and Lu Yu to the mountain together.

The bamboo forest is deep and I don’t know where I am. As soon as I enter the bamboo forest, Wang Hongyi narrowed his eyes. The bamboo forest is a bit strange. It’s not that it is a magic circle, but it can make the breeze slow and suddenly make people feel like a valley.

"The small building has arrived and the chessboard has not been set up yet. Are you willing to go upstairs with Lu first?" Lu Yu glanced at the busy boy next to him and invited him.

Wang Hongyi naturally responded. The two of them then stepped up to the bamboo building and climbed to the second floor.

I opened the window and looked down from the window. A bamboo forest swayed in the wind, green and picturesque.

As he spoke, there was a sound of footsteps coming from below. A girl came up, holding Xiao Heqi in her hand. The girl was wearing a moon-colored skirt, with white wrists and crystal white and her fingers as thin as scallops. She just glanced at her and treated her as a tribute.

"What do you think of here?" Lu Yu asked while staying beside Wang Hongyi.

"This place is a place of seclusion, with elegant scenery and artistic conception. Mr. Lu is indeed a person who can enjoy it." Wang Hongyi said with emotion.

Lu Yu was obviously very satisfied with Wang Hongyi's answer: "The general is right. It is a great pleasure to live in life when tasting tea and living here. Even those who are as high as the general will inevitably be troubled by political affairs in their spare time."

Wang Hongyi raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he could hear the meaning of the other party's words.

But when Lu Yu saw that he said, "The chessboard has been set up here and the spring water is ready, he asked Lu to show his skills to the general to repay the distinguished guests."

The two of them placed a stone table on the stairs.

There are chessboards on it, and each piece of chess piece is ground into jade. It is cool to touch, and it is very suitable for summer play.

Before the game, Lu Yu personally cooked tea for Wang Hongyi, and the tea ceremony was indeed very exciting.

Wang Hongyi was a tea lover. After tasting tea, he gave a comment, which made Lu Yu nodded repeatedly.

The gift Wang Hongyi brought was several bags of new tea. Although this new tea seemed simple, it was unique, which made Lu Yu very interested and happily accepted it.

The two sides had a game, and they were always happy.

After the three plates were over, it was already afternoon. Wang Hongyi said, "Sir, why not take office if you have such talent?"

Lu Yu was sorting out the chessboard at this time and replied: "General is very grateful. Lu is very grateful. Apart from the tea ceremony, Lu is not good at other things and cannot be competent for the position you have taken. I am really sorry, please forgive me."

"Then I'll ask sir to take up the position of Tea Chess PhD, and spread this unique art to the world." Seeing that he was reluctant, Wang Hongyi smiled and was prepared for it, so he hired him as Tea Chess PhD.

This tea chess doctor is very leisurely and does not belong to a minister, but is actually a guest official.

In my spare time, I can do whatever I want, play chess from time to time, and give preferential treatment in terms of personal and tax matters.

The monthly salary is ten taels, not a small amount.

Lu Yu thought about this and agreed: "Dare you not obeying?"

They were very scheming with Lu Yu. The two talked for a long time. As dusk approached, Wang Hongyi left Zhuyuan.

Lu Yu also gave it to him personally and watched Wang Hongyi leave.

Leading the team to ride a horse for a half mile, strangling the mount back to Zhushan, Wang Hongyi sighed inwardly.

Today, Lu Yu was hired, but the other party's attitude showed that he had not met the other party's clear standards.

"Give me some more time, I will definitely expand my territory, swallow the entire Shu area, and become the well-deserved King of Shu." Wang Hongyi thought secretly, but then sighed: "If Lu Yu and others become ministers, wouldn't they have lost their tea art?"

The great king has a broad mind and uses people as if he is a palace. This tall house is majestic and powerful. It is the artifact of ministers and generals. The winding paths of the garden are deep and unique, making the king feel happy to forget his worries. This is Lu Yu, so why bother to ask him to enter the officialdom?
