The shadows of the trees are whirling, and a thrush is singing in a low voice, which is gentle and melodious; the breeze is caressing your face, and the fragrance of flowers is blowing in the wind, refreshing your heart and mind.

In the pavilion in the back garden, Ye Tang, Mr. Shui Qing, Chen Du, and Lin Wu sat opposite each other. On the stone table, there were seven or eight exquisite side dishes. In front of the four of them, there was also a white jade wine glass each with turquoise inside.

Grape wine, mellow and fragrant.

Mr. Shui Qing raised his cup and said, "Come, Ziqing, Yuan Tao, little girl, let's have a drink together."

Ye Tang and the others all picked up their cups, and Mr. Shui Qing added: "This is Taohuazhuang's hundred-year-old grape wine 'Shangyu', brewed using ancient recipes that have been passed down for thousands of years. Only a hundred bottles are produced every year, so you are all in for a treat."

"

Taohuazhuang’s ‘Shangyu’ grape wine has been famous for its aging quality for a long time. I exclaimed: “It turns out to be ‘Shangyu’. No wonder it has such a color. I’m really lucky today.”

Ye Tang had never paid attention to wine, and he was not good at wine. He was a little surprised when Chen Du lost his composure, but he didn't say much. The color of this 'Shangyu' grape wine was indeed extraordinary, like jade divine liquid.

Very pretty.

Moreover, the aroma of the wine is mellow, and just smelling it makes people want to drink it all in one gulp. The locusts are scurrying around, which is extraordinary even if you think about it.

Mr. Shui Qing said: "This was sent over from Taohuazhuang yesterday. I only have this bottle here. You can't see it on the market. Come on, have a taste... Little girl, have a drink too. It's okay. This

You won’t get drunk after one glass of wine.”

Mr. Shui Qing spoke to Lin Wu, and Ye Tang couldn't wait to take a sip. The green 'Shangyu' is not only beautiful in color, but also has a crystal clear aroma. The thick wine is dry and mellow in the mouth, and nectar enters the lips, with a pleasant and sweet fragrance.

Slowly overflows, tantalizing your taste buds.

"Good wine, so fragrant." After taking a sip, Ye Tang couldn't help but praise it.

The delicate and smooth nectar slowly swirled in the mouth, and the fascinating fragrance swayed gracefully. It slid into the throat, and a soft and warm feeling spread. Ye Tang had never tasted such a good wine, better than 'Flame Red Lips'

Better by more than one level.

Mr. Shui Qing smiled slightly and said to Ye Tang: "Wine has an aged aroma, and the longer it is stored, the more mellow it tastes. This 'Shangyu' has been stored in the wine cellar for a hundred years, and its taste is naturally mellow."

Ye Tang nodded, naturally understanding this truth. The taste of nectar and jade liquid described by the ancients was probably just like this.

Mr. Shui Qing, Ye Tang, and Chen Du all raised their heads and drank from a glass of 'Shang Yu', while Lin Wu took a sip. She didn't like drinking, but if she only drank a small glass, it would be fine.

After just a small sip, Lin Wu's face turned red. Mr. Shui Qing laughed and said, "If you can't drink it, just don't drink it. Eat vegetables." She blushed after just a little drink. The little girl's drinking capacity was really light.

‘Shangyu’ only has about twenty degrees, and to Mr. Shui Qing, it is no different from water.

"Stop drinking, let's eat vegetables." Ye Tang also said, picking up a handful of bamboo shoots for her, and the 20-degree 'Shangyu' was considered to be quite high.

Lin Wu said "hmm" and gave the cup to Ye Tang. The century-old "Shangyu" made no difference to her, it was still wine.

"Ziqing, did you bully her today? Little girl, did he bully you? Let me hit him later." Ye Tang took the cup, and Mr. Shui Qing suddenly laughed and said, "I was stumbling upon you before."

The hall noticed that Lin Wu's eyes were a little red, as if she had cried, and then she looked sad and weird, which was very strange.

Putting the cup in front of him, Ye Tang also smiled and said, "Yes, I used to bully her a lot, but I won't do it anymore." From now on, he should be more serious in front of Lin Wu. It seems that she doesn't like his playful smile very much.

Mr. Shui Qing was happy, but did not take Ye Tang's words seriously. In his heart, with Zi Qing's surname, he would not bully a little girl.

Chen Du also laughed out loud. Although it was his first contact with Ye Tang, judging from his surname, he had the demeanor of a gentle and gentle teacher, and he would never bully others without reason.

If you really want to bully someone, it's probably just a matter of "a fair lady, a gentleman is a quarrel", and it's not a big deal.

Lin Wu felt a little inexplicable when she heard that. She had written two such sad poems before, and now she said such words, what happened to him today? Looking at Ye Tang's serious look, she said to Mr. Shui Qing

: "He didn't bully me...it was my fault."

Lin Wu's words were meant to explain, but they always sounded a bit aggrieved. Mr. Shui Qing glanced at Ye Tang and said, "Ziqing, are you really bullying me?" He wouldn't have done this if he hadn't been bullied.

So aggrieved.

Lin Wu looked a little weird, and Ye Tang smiled bitterly: "I'm ready to let you make the decision later, but today it was really because of me that I made her cry." Alas, the saddest thing in life is nothing more than this.

Ah, reluctance is indeed the original sin.

"It's not true, Mr. Shui Qing, it was me who cried." Lin Wu was a little anxious, why couldn't she understand what she said? It was clear that she was crying by herself and had nothing to do with Ye Tang.

Lin Wu looked very anxious and looked like she was about to cry. Mr. Shui Qing quickly waved his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. If he really bullies you in the future, just tell grandpa and let him

Take care of him."

Both of them are children, so there is really no need to care.

Ye Tang also said: "Okay, it's okay, let's eat." Lin Wu felt very strange today. Ye Tang felt a little inexplicable and couldn't understand what she was thinking.

I gave her two more chopsticks to pick up some side dishes. It seemed like she was a little timid outside and didn't take the initiative to hold out her chopsticks.

Lin Wu hummed. She felt weird without her mother, and there was also a stranger, so she felt a little uncomfortable.

Ye Tang was serving Lin Wu some food. Chen Du picked up the cup and said, "Teacher, what happened today is all Yuan Tab's fault. Yuan Tab will admit your mistake." He was talking about Chen Wenhao's matter.

Although Chen Wenhao was angered by his younger brother and ran away in the end, the teacher was indeed disgraced today. Thinking about the heart-wrenching words Chen Wenhao said made Chen Du break out in cold sweat. It was a big mistake to bring Chen Wenhao here. He was blind.

ah.

Chen Du admitted his mistake sincerely, but Mr. Shui Qing waved his hand and said: "Yuan Tao doesn't have to be like this. Let it go as it has passed. Don't take it to heart." It is indeed embarrassing to be disgraced by a junior, but this matter

What he did was indeed inappropriate. Who can blame him if someone takes advantage of him?

"Teacher..." Mr. Shui Qing was smiling, but Chen Du's voice was choked with sobs. It was all because of him that the teacher was harmed. He, Chen Du, was unworthy of being his teacher's student.

"Okay, Yuan Tao, you don't have to act like a little girl, it's not embarrassing." Mr. Shui Qing laughed and said: "The Master said: People are not sages. Who can have no faults? If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is no great good. What's more, you are not a sage.

It's your fault, I don't blame you."

If Chen Du is wrong, it is because he does not know people well and makes friends carelessly. But today's incident can be regarded as teaching him a lesson. When dealing with others, he should think twice before acting and be cautious in his words and actions in order to stand up for himself. Book.

"A gentleman has three warnings: when he is young, his blood energy is not stable, and the warning is about appearance; when he is strong, his blood energy is strong, and he should be careful about fighting; when he is old, when his blood energy is weak, he should be careful about fighting, and I have committed this crime. I have been coveting this piece of jade, Ziqing. What happened today can be regarded as a wake-up call and enlightenment for me. It is not a bad thing."

Mr. Shui Qing said again, his expression not unpleasant.

Ye Tang sighed and said: "I don't think it matters whether a gentleman abstains from it or not. There is no need to have too many rules and regulations in life. Just follow your heart. All conditioned methods are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning. They should be done If you look at it this way, if you are too persistent, you will fall into the lower vehicle."

Ye Tang felt, so what if he broke his oath? Life, life, and survival are not easy. As long as it is not illegal, you can do whatever you want. Others can chew their tongues if they like. How can you care so much? It is purely selfish. Looking for trouble.

Chen Du nodded and said: "Junior Brother Ziqing's words are right. In this world, you should live with a clear conscience. You don't have to worry about so much. Teacher, you don't have to worry about it."

Mr. Shui Qing didn't mind at all, and said with a smile: "A gentleman should be cautious and self-reflective. This can be regarded as a reflection for myself. Zi Qing, do you like Buddhism? I am indeed obsessed with it." Ye Tang came to the question. The Buddhist saying is quite strange.

Ye Tang said: "It's not that I like it very much, I just think that people should live a simpler life. If they can't live true to their own surname, they should live as freely as the wind. Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself, and be magnanimous." .”

"What a man who is as at ease as the wind, what a gentleman who is magnanimous and open-minded." Mr. Shui Qing laughed loudly and drank a glass of wine. A gentleman stands upright and focuses on self-cultivation. Being too persistent is indeed a sign of failure. inferior.

Ye Tang's words gave him a feeling of enlightenment, like Huang Zhong Da Lu, who was deafening and enlightened.

"Live as freely as the wind, don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself, well, my junior brother, this is a great kindness, I'd like to toast you a cup." Chen Du said with an excited face, Ye Tang's remarks are really every word. He felt it in his heart.

Mr. Shui Qing also said: "Ziqing, I would like to propose a toast to you."

Ye Tang burst into laughter and said: "We should respect the teacher. Cheers to be as comfortable as the wind."

"Cheers to be as free as the wind." Chen Du said.

"cheers."

The three people's wine glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound, and then they all laughed happily. (To be continued.)
