At the time of Shen Zheng's reign, Yang Anxuan, his eldest brother, and Hu Fan jointly asked to see Xi Hui, the governor.

Xi Hui heard that Yang Anxuan had arrived and met him happily at Qixin Hall.

Yang Anxuan put the basket in his hand on the ground, got dressed, stepped forward and bowed solemnly, saying: "I have seen Mr. Xi before."

It was the courtesy of a junior, but it was very much in line with Xi Hui's wishes.

Speaking of which, Xi Hui was rewarded twice by the emperor because of Yang Anxuan. Once, he was rewarded with 100,000 yuan and 300 bolts of silk for offering a plow to the Yang family; the other time, he was promoted to General of the Conqueror and Governor of Qinzhou for offering a gold crown.

This was his reward for supporting Yang Anxuan. Xi Hui felt that he had a good eye for recognizing people, and he was particularly pleased with Yang Anxuan.

"Little friend An Xuan, I haven't seen you for several months, but you still look like you. What's in this basket? I'm here to give you a gift. If it's melons and fruits, I can accept it. If it's money and silk, you bribed the governor, so you should be held accountable."

Everyone laughed when they heard Governor Xi's ridicule.

Yang Anxuan opened the cloth on the basket and said with a smile: "Mr. Xi guessed that I am indeed here to give a gift, but I am confident that Mr. Xi will like this gift."

Xi Hui glanced at the debris in the basket, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I'll wait and see."

Yang Anxuan took out the tea utensils in the basket one by one and arranged them neatly. He asked someone to bring purified water and started boiling the water.

After returning from Yinjiazhuang, Yang Anxuan repeated the etiquette of making tea many times.

Fetching water, boiling it, washing cups, and making tea, the whole sequence of actions is calm and unhurried, like flowing clouds and flowing water, and the style is excellent.

Xi Hui, Yang Anshen, Hu Fan and others watched Yang Anxuan's performance with great interest. Seeing that his movements seemed to have rhythm, Xi Hui signaled to light the incense and asked the maid to play the Yaoqin behind the curtain to add to the fun.

When Yang Anxuan brought the tea cup in front of him, Xi Hui took a look at the tea leaves in the cup, which were like new buds and upright trees, floating and sinking in the cup.

Looking at the clear blue color of the soup and the tangy aroma, Xi Hui couldn't help but ask: "An Xuan, what is this tea? Why does it look like new leaves?"

Yang Anxuan smiled and said nothing, indicating to Xi Hui to taste the tea first.

It has a light aroma in the mouth, is sweet and refreshing, and has a long aftertaste. It is not as thick and astringent as the original tea.

Xi Hui praised: "This way of drinking tea is very elegant and wonderful."

When Xi Hui finished drinking the tea in his cup, Yang Anxuan took the pot and brewed it again, saying: "The first taste is delicious, and the second time is sweet and mellow. Please taste it again, Mr. Xi."

Xi Hui sipped the tea slowly, savoring the fragrance and mellowness of the tea. After two cups of tea were in his stomach, he was still unsatisfied. He pointed to the empty cup and said, "Can you do it again?"

Yang Anxuan picked up the pot and filled it with water, and said with a smile: "Three of them are enough."

Hu Fan sighed: "Drinking this tea makes people forget their worries."

Yang Anshen also said: "If you take three cups into your stomach, you will be happy and happy, and you will feel as if you are an immortal."

Yang Anxuan lowered his head and fiddled with the charcoal fire and said: "To drink this tea, you need to choose the mountain spring as the top, the river water as the second, the well water as the bottom, the water boils until the crab eyes will appear..."

From choosing water to making fire, from making tea to choosing utensils, from etiquette, environment to mood, Yang Anxuan talked for half an hour. The tea leaves in the cup were changed three times, and everyone at the table listened with gusto.

After drinking the remaining tea in the cup, Xi Hui smiled and said: "An Xuan, I have been listening to you for a long time, but you still haven't told me what the name of this tea is?"

Yang Anxuan cupped his hands and said: "The year before last, Anxuan came with his father to pay homage to Duke Xi. He favored him with his favor and looked after him all the way. When Zhongzheng evaluated the boy, he rated the boy as a top-middle grade. Anxuan was grateful and always wanted to repay Duke Xi for his kindness.

.”

Xi Hui stroked his beard and smiled. Yang Anxuan repaid his kindness and his support to him was well worth it.

"Mr. Xi has a noble temperament. I think that if I use some money or silk to repay him, I will definitely stain Mr. Xi's eyes." Yang Anxuan said in a small way.

Sure enough, Xi Hui laughed heartily and said, "An Xuan knows me."

Yang Anxuan smiled and said: "I remember that when I first met Mr. Xi, Mr. Xi treated me with tea and mentioned my relationship with Master Huiyuan, so I thought about making a new tea and inviting Mr. Xi to taste it."

Xi Hui was deeply moved and sighed: "Young friend An Xuan, you are determined."

"The boy has a close relationship with the Yin family. When he learned that new tea would be released in mid-February, he went to the Yin family village. After asking the tea farmers for advice, he thought hard for a long time and came up with this method of making tea." Yang Anxuan smiled and said to Xi Hui, "This is it."

The tea was a gift from Yu Xian to Duke Xi, so I asked Duke Xi to name it."

Xi Hui shook his tail and looked at Yang Anxuan gently. From his experience, he knew that the introduction of new tea would inevitably lead to changes in tea drinking, and as the person who named the new tea, his name would be passed down through the ages. This was an immortal gift.

Make a name for yourself.

After pondering for a moment, Xi Hui put down his tail and said warmly: "My friend, I mean it in a disrespectful way. The color of this tea is clear and green, like spring grass, so let's call it Bichun tea."

Yang Anxuan said with a smile: "Thank you very much, Mr. Xi, for the name, and please give me the calligraphy treasure. The Yin family will make this new tea for sale this year. With Mr. Xi naming it in ink, the Bichun tea will definitely be a hot seller. This money to polish the pen is not considered a bribe, Mr. Xi can

Don’t forget to ask for it from the Yin family.”

Xi Hui was very interested and ordered: "Bring paper and pen."

Xi Hui's calligraphy is of the fourth grade. The two characters "Bichun" in regular script are strong and powerful, and his pen is full of ink. Yang Anshen and Hu Fan stood by and watched and praised him in unison.

After looking at the blank space on the paper, Xi Hui still felt unfinished and said with a smile: "An Xuan, you are known for your poetic talent. How can this new tea not have a poem? Just recite a sentence."

Yang Anxuan smiled and said: "The elders have their orders, how dare they disobey them."

I went through the tea poems in my mind, picked a tea couplet that suited the occasion, changed it, and chanted: "Suspicion is like the top of clouds and mist, and tea brings out the fragrance of green spring."

"Good", "wonderful", Xi Hui happily took up his pen and wrote two lines of small characters next to the two big characters "Bichun".

After putting away the copybook and returning to the table, Yang Anxuan took out six boxes of tea leaves from the bamboo basket and said with a smile: "This is Bichun tea. Please accept it with your smile."

Xi Hui asked the maid to put them away, glanced at the tea sets on the ground, and said: "An Xuan, these tea sets of yours are very elegant. I would like to order someone to make a few more sets. You can leave the tea sets here first and wait for them to be made.

I will pay you back again."

Hu Fan smiled and said: "An Xuan, you can't favor one over the other. How can such good tea be given only to the governor Xi? How can it be less foolish?"

Yang Anshen also pretended to be unhappy and said: "Third brother, there is also your eldest brother."

Yang Anxuan took out four more boxes from the basket and gave them to the two of them respectively. He said with a smile: "They are all here. If you want more, you have to wait until Yinjiazhuang's new one comes on the market."

Xi Hui said: "After I made the tea set, I simply gave it to you, but you have to buy the porcelain cup yourself. This thing is expensive."

The two laughed and said they didn't dare, and thanked Xi Hui for his kindness.

Yang Anxuan stood up and bowed again, saying: "I have something to ask of you. Last time I heard Mr. Xi said that Master Huiyuan also likes tea. I thought I would pass by Donglin Temple to pay homage to Master Huiyuan and ask him to taste Bichun tea. I heard that Master Qingxiu

We rarely see lay guests, so I would like to ask Mr. Xi to write a letter to introduce him."

Xi Hui was slightly surprised. He originally thought that Yang Anxuan wanted him to write a letter to a friend in Beijing to introduce him to him, but he didn't expect that he was sending tea to Master Huiyuan.

After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but smile, and Xi Hui said: "Very good. Master, good tea. If you can taste Bichun tea, you will definitely be happy. I will write a letter later and give it to you when I pick up the tea set."

"An Xuan, I'm going to Jiankang to join the Guozi School. With your talent and learning, it will not be difficult for you to become famous and be seen by everyone." Xi Hui gently stroked his beard and said: "However, there are many powerful people in the capital, and most of the Guozi School is from the clan.

, the emperor's relatives and the children of important ministers, these people are arrogant and extravagant. An Xuan, you have an upright temperament, I am afraid that you will quarrel with others."

Xi Hui's words were the earnest teachings of an elder. Yang Anxuan sat upright and listened quietly with his hands folded.

"You were originally destined to be in the upper or middle grades, but the King of Kuaiji demoted you to a lower grade on the grounds that you are young and frivolous and need to be tempered. This is both a bad thing and a good thing."

Yang An asked in confusion: "How can it be a good thing if your rank is downgraded and your career is correspondingly hindered?"

Hu Fan explained: "What Mr. Xi means is that An Xuan is young and successful, and is easily jealous. The Yang family has a shallow foundation and cannot protect each other. It is better to keep a low profile and accumulate more."

Xi Hui nodded and said: "That's what I mean. An Xuan, make friends with more knowledgeable people in the capital, be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, and you will be in the heart of the emperor."

Taking a sip of tea, Xi Hui continued: "You can be appointed after you are crowned weak. An Xuan can first practice in the pavilion for a few years, and then serve as county magistrate. The prefect will accumulate experience in politics. I believe you don't need to be forty years old to do it."

But sitting on one side, my position is just a matter of time for you."

If the world were at peace, the path mentioned by Xi Hui would be the safest way to be promoted, but Yang Anxuan knew that it would not take long for the emperor to die unexpectedly.

After Sima Yao's death, fighting resumed, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty perished.

If he followed the path pointed out by Xi Hui, he would not be qualified to participate in the struggle for the world at all.

In a time of great chaos, one can only cut through thorns and thorns, move forward bravely, and fight for a glimmer of opportunity.

Yang Anyuan stood up, bowed his head to the ground and said, "Thank you Mr. Xi for your kind words. I will definitely keep them in mind."

Xi Hui didn't say anything about introducing the gentry in the capital for Yang Anxuan, and Yang Anxuan didn't mention it either. Some things don't need to be made clear, and things will fall into place naturally.

…………

After dinner at Qixin Hall, Yang Anxuan, Hu Fan and Yang Anshen went to the east school field again to compete in archery. Yang Anshen returned to his residence at the right time.

After joking with Mr. He for a while, Yang An said deeply: "Tomorrow I will take a rest and prepare to pay off the debt. The extra gold will be converted into copper coins. An Xuan will travel eastward the day after tomorrow. As the eldest brother, I want to buy a gift for him."

He had a dangerous heart. If he hadn't gone to the gold and jade shop to return the jade hairpin and gold jade shaker, and returned the dress, Yang Anshen would have been angry when he found out that he had spent more than half of the gold.

He stood up, knelt down in front of Yang Anshen, and said softly: "Shen Lang, I went to the Jinyu Shop to buy something today and spent some gold. Please forgive me, Shen Lang."

Yang An frowned deeply, he knew that He had wanted the hosta for a while, but he had repeatedly told her not to use the gold to pay off the debt, but He still didn't listen, which was really annoying.

Seeing Yang Anshen's gloomy face, Mrs. He pretended to be pitiful and said: "I saw that the jade pendants on Shen Lang were damaged, and I took a fancy to a set of jade pendants in a gold and jade shop, so I used gold to buy them without telling Shen Lang. I didn't know this before

Report it to Shen Lang and ask Shen Lang to punish you."

It turned out that the money was not to buy a hosta, but to spend it on his own family. Yang Anshen was greatly moved, stood up and helped He up, and sighed: "It is a blessing for An Shen to meet my wife. After I pay off the debt, what is left will be

Gold Lady, please go and buy back the hosta."

"I come from a humble background, and I am so grateful that I can be loved by Shen Lang." Mrs. He said with tears in her eyes: "I have nothing to ask for, I only wish to give birth to a boy and a half girl for Shen Lang, and I will be a cow in the next life.

The horse repays the deep affection of the man."

Yang Anshen took He into his arms, stretched out his hands to wipe away her tears, and said, "Madam, please rest early."

After making love, Yang An fell into a deep sleep. He crossed her legs, caressed her abdomen, and secretly prayed to God to give her a son.
