Chapter 90 Yunxuan's Elegance

There is a "Yunxuan" in Bianjing City. The owner of Yunxuan is next to the king of Meyer Mansion. Is there anyone else in Bianjing City who doesn't know next to the king? From the fragrant cake coal in Jincheng to the Jinxiu Pavilion, which is famous for "frying" and "explosing" in the capital, these are all the handwritings of the king.

On the day when "Yunxuan" removed the fence cloth at the door and dismantled the fence shed, there were many people around the door, but this tea shop was very different from the usual tea shop. The door of the tea shop did not greet the guests, but was replaced by a strong gatekeeper. The porch on the second floor of the teahouse was also demolished, and the window was replaced. It is impossible to see the layout inside from the outside.

In the early morning of that day, a team of girls came out of Meyer's house, with more than a dozen people, each with a slim figure, beautiful appearance and the same clothes. They walked from Meyer's house to "Yunxuan".

These girls are not like ordinary maids, let alone prostitutes or prostitutes. Every smile shows the demeanor of a lady. These girls are dignified, kind but have few thoughts.

These girls walked on the street, attracting passers-by to stop and watch. Some of them followed these girls and saw that the girls had entered Yunxuan, and they were even more curious about Yunxuan.

There are several sedan chairs parked at the door of Yunxuan, and everyone who can enter Yunxuan holds a silver medal. There is a corridor on the foundation of Yunxuan. The tables and chairs in the corridor are reserved for the attendants of their peers. Each person who enters Yunxuan can only bring in at most one book boy.

You can't enter without a silver medal. This rule is posted on the bulletin board outside Yunxuan.

Shen Kuo just came out of the printing factory, and it was almost ready there, so Shen Kuo arrived at Yunxuan at the latest today. Before he arrived at the door of Yunxuan, he saw that the door of Yunxuan was surrounded by water. Some looked inside with their toes, and one person looked back and saw Shen Kuo. He shouted, "Lord Shen is here."

Some people surrounded Shen Kuo. Shen Kuo was shocked. Although Shen Kuo can only be regarded as a small official in the capital, Shen Kuo likes to visit folk novelties. The reason why he was able to write the book "Mengxi Pen Talk" later naturally had a lot to do with his usual accumulation.

Curious people surrounded Shen Kuo, and some asked, "Lord Shen, are you going to Yunxuan?" Shen Kuo was confused. Is there anything wrong with going to Yunxuan? He arched his hand to the crowd and said, "Guys, let it be"

"Lord Shen, what's so rare in Yunxuan? Tell us about it. Is it possible to enter only when you are an official? Someone in the crowd asked.

Shen Kuo can't figure out who is asking at all: "No, no, Yunxuan is just a tea shop, but those who can go to Yunxuan are not necessarily officials. They mainly look at each other and learn."

As he answered, he walked in. He didn't say that it was good to learn from this, but there were more people around Yunxuan. This period is wonderful. According to the past system, the number of people in the world to the capital is no less than 3,000. At present, all the big and small mansions in Bianjing City are full, and the streets are full of children, and more than half of them are people who are self-taught.

I heard that Yunxuan was talented, and many people inquired about how to get the silver medal. Shen Kuo really didn't know that he finally rushed through the enclosed crowd and entered Yunxuan, but he was embarrassed, and his hat was crooked and his shoes were almost stepped off.

After entering the door, the scene in front of him made Shen Kuo even more dumbfounded. First, he saw a screen blocking the scene inside, bypassing the screen, and dozens of people on the first floor. They are all top three and calligraphy and painting celebrities in the past ten years. Most of these people have been officials in the dynasty, such as Zeng Gong, Zeng Bu, and even young princes, like Yuan Ze Zhongzhen, and romantic talents who think of Su Xun and Su Ze. Even the book children around them are all beautiful and shrewd.

In short, these people are all in today's literature, calligraphy and painting. Except for those who are officials far away from Bianjing, all those who can come in the capital or near the capital have come. Shen Kuo sighed, no wonder there are so many people at the door of Yunxuan,

Some of these people are holding a plate in their hands, either standing, or sitting, or chatting together. The plates in their hands are full of fruits or pastries. Some were holding wine glasses, and the exclusive girl was holding the pot. Seeing that the wine in the glass was gone, she came over and took the initiative to add it.

In the middle of the room, there is a table one foot long and seven or eight feet wide. The table is full of wine, melons and fruits, and all kinds of cakes. Everyone can take it at will. To the east of the room is the stairs leading to the second floor. Shen Kuo nodded to the person who was talking while chatting, and Yuan Ze greeted him. Shen Kuo couldn't help asking, "What are you doing?"

Yuan Ze also rushed through the crowd to enter Yunxuan. Seeing that Shen Kuo was so embarrassed, he couldn't help laughing: "If only I knew, my brother's novelty all day long actually sued everyone and let everyone help themselves."

Shen Kuo was very confused: "What is self-help?"

Yuan Ze pointed to the food on the table and looked at the people in the room: "Just help yourself and eat and drink at will."

Shen Kuo asked Yuan Ze in a low voice, "To be honest, if there is no brother's business like this, if we really pay for money, we won't spend all our old capital."

Wang was walking from the steps on the second floor. He saw Shen Kuo, who came in at the door, talking to Yuan Ze. He came closer and asked, "What are you two brothers talking about here?"

Shen Kuo glanced at him and said, "Let's talk about your new things."

"Come on, Brother Shen, do you want to visit the second floor?" The king smiled and motioned to them.

Yuan Ze said, "I'll take Brother Shen there. I just want to go up for tea." After saying that, the two of them walked upstairs.

Wang said hello to the guests downstairs. After a while, Lu Shenyan came back from the outside, and Wang was happy to see him. Lu Shenyan walked to the king and whispered, "Son, I have heard about it. Now the bidding outside has reached 80 taels of silver and a silver medal. After saying that, Wang had no other expression except that the corners of his mouth were raised slightly.

Eighty taels of silver is not enough for the cost of this silver medal. Before the blockbuster has arrived, the king doesn't like the dozens of taels of silver. While waiting, a small sedan chair stopped under the foundation. A man came out of the sedan chair and lit up the silver medal. The gatekeeper let the man in,

There was a noise outside the door. I heard someone say again, "Isn't that Lord Ouyang Xiu, who took the examination of the imperial examination last time?" Some shouted behind them, "Lord Ouyang Xiu, can you reveal this year's scientific examination questions?" This attracted more people around the gate of Yunxuan.

Ouyang Xiu heard the noise behind him, and also knew that there were many children in Bianjing, especially in the year of scientific examination. He stood on the Yunxuan platform and looked back. He saw dozens of candidates being stopped outside. Some shouted, Lord Ouyang Xiu, and some even shouted, Lord Ouyang Xiu asked. Ouyang Xiu was proud of himself.

Wang saw that important people arrived, and Su Shi and others also saw their teachers coming. They were all busy gathering to salute. Ouyang Xiu quickly waved his hand. They all came to drink tea and talk about learning. Different officialdoms, don't be unfamiliar. Despite this, there is also joy in my heart. Who doesn't want to be praised? Especially the sensation just outside Yunxuan.

When Wang saw Ouyang Xiu's expression, he knew that his careful arrangement had worked. He smiled and arched his hand and said that his father was waiting for Lord Ouyang Xiu in the tea room upstairs.

Ouyang Xiu, like Shen Kuo, was surprised to see the layout of the hall, and then he was happy to see everyone talking and laughing. He was not as reserved as usual, not to mention that it was normal for the teahouse to decorate some fruit cakes. Take it for yourself to eat, this situation is also novel and interesting.

When he went up to the second floor with the king, it was even more eye-catching. The second floor of the teahouse was divided into two parts, one of which was composed of a group of bookshelves, several rattan chairs and a large case. In contrast, the second floor is much quieter than the first floor. People who come can choose their favorite books from the bookshelf and then sit on the rattan chair and read slowly.

People who come can also recite poems and draw before the case. The top of the case is neatly placed with a pen holder, pen washing, Yantai, and good paper under the paperweight.

Ouyang Xiu walked past the bookshelf next to the king. Behind the bookshelf was the tea room. The tea room was actually divided by several partitions by fences, with a low table and four futons in each partition. Tea sets are placed on each low table. Those who come to drink tea sit on the futon, and there is a special tea doctor toast tea for the tea drinkers.

This is not eye-catching: even the way of drinking tea is innovative, which is different from ordering tea in the past. Those who toast tea are all young girls, who look like uniform clothes, just like replicators. Everyone even speaks and explains tea, and even smiles are very similar. I really don't know how to choose a person and **. It's so exquisite.

Wang Anshi also saw Ouyang Xiu coming. When the girl who served tea saw that Wang Anshi had the idea of getting up, she helped the adult get up, which was very thoughtful.

"Jifu has arrived first, and Ling Lang is really unique ingenuity." Ouyang Xiu greeted and praised.

Wang Anshi was proud of himself, but he still said modestly and low-keyly, "The dog is not talented. He is stained with copper rust all day long. Today, Yunxuan said that he only does articles, calligraphy and painting, and communicates, which is also his intention."

At this time, the people upstairs who drank tea, read books and painted had already seen Ouyang Xiu. Everyone greeted each other and set up novelties for Yunxuan.

At this time, everyone downstairs also came up. The king saw that everyone had arrived and placed everyone in the teahouse. Arched his hand and said to everyone, "Everyone here is full of knowledge. You all come to Yunxuan to shine."

Wang Bian paused for a moment, and the previous paragraph was really very popular. Among them, there were many people who nodded and smiled. Seeing this, the king continued to say, "I'm not talented. I usually do some business and neglect my studies. However, I dare not slack off on poetry, calligraphy, painting and even learning, but Xiao Ke is stupid. Today, Yunxuan is specially built for you. Anyone who can enter Yunxuan must have some attainments, so everyone's consumption in Yunxuan can be borne by Xiao.

As soon as everyone heard it, the king arranged it like this, which is free to eat, drink, read and taste tea. Yun Xuan is just used to talk about poetry and painting articles. Isn't that like what Shen Kuo said: "The family has not been lost"

Wang heard everyone talking and laughed without saying anything. Next, the female tea doctor, whom he specially **, offered tea to you. The king knew that these young women were a little beautiful. If they were placed in an ordinary restaurant and teahouse, it was inevitable that there would be disciples who would think about it. However, the women here are extraordinary. They are all literati and self-proclaimed gentlemen.

Looking at the special teapot, the tea cup is in the fingers of Qianqianyu, the process of flying one after another, the beautiful tea, and the incense burner specially arranged by the king, the burning incense inside is different from the ordinary fragrance. It's a special incense made by the king.

This incense is made of the spice trees of Jinxiangfu. After crushing and grinding, add a small amount of straw, the fine powder, and add an appropriate amount of water to stir together. After being squeezed, the thin strips in the shape of incense are cut and air-dried.

What's more unique is that a kite is placed in a corner of Yunxuan, and a kite girl plays it gently. The zither column is diagonally, and the woman's pink nails fluctuate on the kite, like peach blossoms falling, and the kite is more like high mountains and flowing water, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Lord Ouyang Xiu listened to the faint voice while tasting tea, and praised for a long time: "This is really elegant!"

What kind of person is Ouyang Xiu? Today, the first person of Hanlin's bachelor, Su Xun, Zeng Gong, Wang Anshi, Su Shi and Su Ze are all out of his door. The achievements of creation are also brilliant, and poetry, lyrics and prose are the best for a while. Its prose is smooth, lyrical and euphemistic; its poetic style is similar to prose, which is powerful and can be smooth and natural; its words are deep, euphemistic and beautiful, inheriting the aftertaste of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

It is often said that Ouyang Xiu is elegant today, with a collection of 10,000 volumes of books, a piano and a game of chess. In the second year of Jiayou, Ouyang Xiu presided over the Jinshi examination as a bachelor of Hanlin, and admitted Su Shi, Su Ze, Zeng Gong and others. In June of the third year of Jiayou, Ouyang Xiu knew Kaifeng Mansion as a bachelor of Hanlin and a bachelor of Longtuge.

Now the people in Yunxuan listened to Lord Ouyang Xiu's admiration of the elegance here, and they all agree. Suddenly, someone said, "This tea shop is elegant, but there seems to be something missing?" Everyone looked at it and turned out to be a beautiful little book boy.
