Tea fragrance overflowing [reverse wear]

According to the logic of a normal novel (?), Xu Yuqing should wake up at this time.

But in fact, until the opening ceremony of the World Tea Ceremony Crystal Cup officially came to an end, the man who was supposed to represent Huaxia to give a speech at the competition was still lying on the hospital bed and fell into a deep sleep, showing no sign of waking up.

Huo Shaoze stayed in front of the hospital bed for two days and two nights, watching the clock on the wall when it was time for the official opening of the World Tea Ceremony Crystal Cup, and the man on the hospital bed was still not awake.He finally lowered his head in disappointment, and murmured in a low voice: "Old Xu... you used to say that you would participate in that tea ceremony cup this year, but... you still couldn't participate in the end..."

What responded to him was the still steady sound of the monitor in the ward, implying the only normal beating heart of the man on the bed.

……

The World Tea Ceremony Crystal Cup was held at the General Assembly Hall of City B. This was a newly built assembly hall at the beginning of the century. The entire design was made of transparent large glass, allowing the sunlight outside the window to fully shine into the building.

Although the venue is large, it only has one floor. Now, representatives from many countries are sitting in distress, waiting for Du Lao, the chairman of the Huaxia Tea Ceremony Association on the rostrum, to announce the start of the competition.

"...I declare that the 37th World Tea Ceremony Crystal Cup-officially opened!"

Thunderous applause rang out throughout the venue, and everyone applauded excitedly to celebrate the opening of this annual event.

In the past few years, China has paid great attention to the inheritance and dissemination of culture, and the World Tea Ceremony Crystal Cup has finally been held in China, and the higher authorities have attached great importance to it, directly broadcasting live broadcasts on two national channels.One is the foreign exchange channel, and the other is the most important channel No. 1, which shows that Huaxia officials are paying attention to the tea ceremony crystal cup.

This undoubtedly put a certain amount of pressure on the Huaxia Tea Ceremony Association. Before the start of the competition, Chairman Du Qifeng, one of the three leading figures in the industry, specially approached Li Yunshu and asked him if he was confident that he could win the individual competition in the competition. three.

Seeing Mr. Du's concerned and anxious expression, Mr. Li smiled helplessly and made a promise.

It's not that Chairman Du doesn't believe in Li Yunshu's strength, but that Li Yunshu is really too young.Before this World Tea Ceremony Crystal Cup, the youngest contestant was 25 years old, but now... Li Yunshu is only 22 years old, which is three years younger than the youngest contestant ever.

In this game, there are top tea ceremony masters like Tanaka Renye from the island country and Park Zhengjun from the stick country. In the absence of Xu Yuqing, the entire Huaxia side is at a huge disadvantage.At least... Not to mention Li Yunshu, but no one dared to say that Huaxia could win the team championship.

"If... Yuqing is here..." Sitting on the judging panel, Master Gao shook his head lightly.

When that name was mentioned, the corners of Old Gao's eyes shone again. The old man sincerely saw his only apprentice as his own grandson, and his feelings were not much worse than that of Old Li.Although not directly related by blood like Mr. Li, Mr. Li also has Li Yunshu and other grandchildren, while Master Gao... really only has one apprentice.

"It will be fine, it will be fine, the doctor said yesterday that the brain waves are more stable than before." Sitting beside Gao Qiuming, Li Yuanguang said softly, "Yuqing will definitely wake up, we...have confidence in him. "

Elder Gao nodded lightly and did not speak again.The originally black hair on his head has long since turned gray, and he has completely lost the image of the eccentric and savage little old man before. He looks like a tired elder who has broken his heart for the younger generation he loves.

There were a total of ten people sitting in the judges' seat.

The Huaxia side is naturally the three leading figures in the industry, Master Gao Qiuming, Master Li Yuanguang and Chairman Du Qifeng.On the stick country side is Kim Sung-ho, the team leader. In addition, there are Mrs. Elizabeth from the rot country and three representatives from other western countries.

On the island side, apart from Yuichi Ueda, who was the team leader before, there is also Master Yasuhide Yamaguchi who just arrived yesterday.

In the past few years, every time Elder Gao saw Yasuhide Yamaguchi, his teeth itch with anger, eager to compete with him.And Yasuhide Yamaguchi naturally knew that he was no longer Gao Lao's opponent at this moment, and he repeatedly admitted defeat, but he was unwilling to fight.

The relationship between the two is like water and fire, incompatible.

But this time, Yasuhide Yamaguchi wisely did not provoke Gao Qiuming much, but instead sat honestly on his own jury seat.He watched the contestants representing various countries on the field have already started to prepare tea, sighed softly, turned his head and said to Ueda Yu: "Ueda-san, this time...is really a pity."

Ueda Yuichi asked suspiciously: "Yamaguchi-kun, what are you?"

Yasuhide Yamaguchi said: "Before, Tanaka lost to Huaxia's Xu Jun. Since then, he has been working hard to catch up with the opponent, and even has not participated in the World Tea Ceremony Crystal Cup for several years. I really did not expect that Xu Jun would appear like that before the game. It's such a pity."

Ueda Yuichi thought for a while, and asked, "Yamaguchi-kun thinks that Tanaka-kun has wasted years of time researching Biluochun?"

But Yasuhide Yamaguchi shook his head and said, "I regret two points. First, Tanaka came to the competition with confidence, but returned disappointed in the end. Second... is Xu Jun from Huaxia. He seems very It’s hard to wake up again, this is a loss to the tea ceremony world in our world. Moreover, for Tanaka, he will be a knot in his heart in the future, because it is impossible for Tanaka to defeat Xu Jun in his life.”

Although I am very sorry for Xu Yuqing's injury, Yasuhide Yamaguchi is Tanaka Renye's teacher after all, and he takes more care of his apprentices.Before they came to China to compete this time, Renye Tanaka had already thought of giving up.

The only opponent in his mind is no longer able to participate, and the biggest seed player in the whole game has undoubtedly fallen on Renye Tanaka.Renye Tanaka thought that since he was destined to win, what would he do with this false name?

So Yasuhide Yamaguchi persuaded Tanaka Renye for a long time before letting this stubborn and stubborn apprentice leave for China.

Tanaka Renye is a tall young man with a small crew cut. He has an ordinary appearance and dark skin, but his eyes are extremely bright, and his whole body is full of vitality.His etiquette can be said to be the most thoughtful that Li Yunshu has ever seen since he came to this world. Renye Tanaka always listens carefully when talking to people, and his gaze is slightly downward politely, giving people a kind of easy to get along with a feeling of.

Renye Tanaka was very harsh on himself, and Li Yunshu discovered it very early on.When all the contestants were sitting together to watch the opening ceremony, Renye Tanaka was sitting on the island side, standing out from the crowd and being visible at a glance.

His back was straight, and he sat in the first third of the chair, with his hands on his knees, and sat motionless for more than two hours. Even Li Yunshu felt terrible.

For such an opponent, there are probably only two words left in his tea ceremony——

serious.

Everyone has their own tea ceremony. In the last hour before the start of the competition, Master Gao Qiuming found Li Yunshu in the backstage of the venue.

At that time, Li Yunshu was checking the fresh tea he had brought out, when he suddenly saw Master Gao walking in front of him, he was stunned for a while, and then guessed that the other party, like Chairman Du, was worried about his achievements.

"Mr. Gao, don't worry, I will try my best to get my highest score." Li Yunshu smiled and curled his lips, and was still carefully checking each piece of fresh tea in his hand to ensure that there were no mistakes during the competition.

But Gao Qiuming didn't relax at all after listening to Li Yunshu's words.He looked at the handsome young man in front of him with a complicated expression for a long time, and suddenly heaved a long sigh, and said, "Xiaoyun, before you left Hangzhou more than two months ago, I once told you... your tea ceremony heart is close to perfection , just a little bit short, and I can enter a realm that I haven't even reached."

Hearing this all of a sudden, Li Yunshu's expression froze, and he realized that Mr. Gao really had something to do with him.He immediately turned around, looked at Elder Gao seriously, and said, "Yes, Master Gao, you once said that."

"At that time, I thought that what you need is an opportunity. This opportunity may be the insights you get when you get married and have children, or you encounter sudden inspiration when you encounter some events. This is a mysterious and mysterious thing. You Maybe it will happen soon, or maybe it won’t happen in this life.”

Li Yunshu's heart tightened suddenly, as if he understood what the other party was going to say.

"However, what I never expected is that you... would touch that thing in this way."

Li Yunshu lowered his eyes and lowered his voice: "You mean...the car accident?"

As soon as the car accident was mentioned, Master Gao's body trembled suddenly, but he quickly returned to normal. He nodded and said, "Yes, it was the car accident. I heard that Huo Zheng from the Huo family had woken up a few days ago. You and him seem to be in a relationship of lovers, I don't know how you feel about the tea ceremony now?"

Unexpectedly, Li Yunshu suddenly put down the last piece of fresh tea in his hand, looked at Gao Lao with a smile, and said, "Master Gao, I suddenly understand, in fact... what is really the most important thing in my heart. I have always thought that if I finally got the chance to reconnect with tea, in my heart, the tea ceremony is the highest, and no one can match it. But now... I feel that there are many things that far exceed these things. My favorite tea."

"My mother, my grandfather, my grandmother, and all my relatives..."

"Huo Shaoze, Grandpa Huo, teacher, you, and all my friends..."

"Finally... and Huo Zheng."

"I love tea, but I love them even more. If I have to make a choice, I find that I will give up tea, and I will not abandon them. Master Gao, I may disappoint you. My tea ceremony has been completely exhausted. It's gone astray, it's... not as simple and pure as before."

These words are tantamount to betraying the tea ceremony.

Li Yunshu had already been prepared to be accused by Master Gao, but to his surprise, Master Gao stared at him seriously for a long time, but suddenly smiled with tears in his eyes: "You are really lucky, Xiaoyun, you are so lucky!" I am very lucky. I have walked my whole life, giving up love, family, and everything I could have, and chose to be with these tea leaves for the rest of my life. But when I saw... I saw Yuqing living and dying in the ICU ward When I was uncertain, I suddenly felt..."

"What have I done all my life?"

Li Yunshu looked at Elder Gao in surprise.

"What is the real tea ceremony? Is it to dedicate everything, including one's body, mind and soul? This kind of choice is Yasuhide Yamaguchi's Yamaguchi school. To be honest, Yasuhide Yamaguchi has not done as well as his apprentices in this aspect. His The apprentice Tanaka Renye really dedicated everything to tea art. There is one thing in the tea ceremony circle that has always been controversial. At that time, Tanaka Renye’s mother was seriously ill and he hurried to see her for the last time. In order to cultivate a tea plant Miao Erzhi left, and only saw the mother's body. Do you know what he did at that time?"

Li Yunshu was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know."

"He coughed three times for his mother, knelt in the mortuary for a whole night, and after finishing all the funeral affairs for his mother, he got into his tea seedlings again." As if he could see that scene, Gao The old man sighed and continued: "People say that he is a filial son, and he lost more than a dozen catties when he guarded his mother's coffin. But I don't think so. Since he has that filial piety, why... Among the last face of a tea seedling and his mother, the one who chose...wasn't his mother?"

Li Yunshu was dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"The tea ceremony of the Yamaguchi School is to dedicate yourself to tea, but now I finally understand that this is wrong. If tea is your best friend, he will want you to abandon your lover and relatives, just to be with you He was together, and became alienated?"

"If the original intention of the tea ceremony is like this, then... this is a crooked way, and we don't need to pay attention to it at all. We have touched tea for so many years, and the more we know and get in touch with, the easier it is for us to go astray, just like me, Like Yasuhide Yamaguchi."

Li Yunshu's heart suddenly brightened, and the fog covering his eyes was pulled away at once.

Seeing Li Yunshu's sparkling eyes, Master Gao smiled gratifiedly and said, "If a tea drinker really connects his heart with tea, then...he will only get relief, not shackles. Xiaoyun, Lao Du has always thought that you are much worse than Yuqing. He said that your tea art is not as exquisite as Yuqing's, and your tea making skills are not as mature as his. Even...even your grandfather, although he didn't say it , but in his heart he still thinks that Yuqing is actually better than you."

Li Yunshu nodded modestly: "Although my cousin's tea ceremony is not elegant and elegant, it is mature enough. There are many things I need to learn. Grandpa and the others think it is right."

Elder Gao shook his head and said with a smile, "You don't have to be modest. Your grandfather also knows that in a few years, you will definitely surpass Yuqing. You are much younger than him. This is your disadvantage." After a pause, a rare smile appeared on Elder Gao's face: "But Xiaoyun, I think differently from them. I think...you have surpassed Yuqing now."

Li Yunshu was taken aback when he heard the words: "Old Gao..."

"The tea ceremony is not only about the skill itself, but also the tea heart that only those who are deeply involved in the tea ceremony can understand. Now, you have surpassed..." His voice suddenly froze, and Gao Lao said again: "You have surpassed Yuqing before coma, I believe that you can release your brilliance on the crystal cup of this World Tea Ceremony, and you yourself... have this confidence?"

Li Yunshu will always remember Master Gao's encouraging eyes at that time, and he also nodded solemnly: "Yes, Mr. Gao, of course I... have this confidence."

Elder Gao smiled in satisfaction, said a few more words, and then left without moving.And Li Yunshu was still carefully inspecting the pieces of fresh tea, carefully observing the past from every leaf bud to leaf vein.

What he didn't know was that just after Elder Gao left, the short little old man staggered under the glass window of the town hall in city b, looked up at the blue sky, and murmured in a sad tone: " There must be twists and turns...to mature the heart of the tea ceremony...Yuqing, actually...you were also hit by me?"

Apart from Li Yunshu, those who experienced the car accident—

Xu Yuqing.

For Li Yunshu, this may be a small ups and downs in his life.As for Xu Yuqing, it may even be the greatest ordeal I have ever encountered in this life.

Master Gao once said that Xu Yuqing's Tea Ceremony Heart is much worse than Li Yunshu's. Unless something major happens, he may not be able to reach the perfect Tea Ceremony Heart in his life.

But if Gao Lao has to choose, do he want his apprentice to be more refined in the tea ceremony and live a good life?

Elder Gao tightened his fingers and closed his eyes: "You just keep going, you will never reach that level, teacher... I don't want to see you now..."

The most bitter, except for Huo Shaoze, except for Li Fuzhen, except for everyone who has blood relationship with Xu Yuqing...

And Gao Qiuming.
