!”

However, the old man disagreed and said proudly: "Brother Chongyuan is wrong. Making tea requires precision in technique, while boiling tea requires the control of heat."

"Although this tea is good, if I don't cook it carefully, it won't be able to fully display its mellow aroma. If it is cooked indiscriminately, it can only quench your thirst!"

Hearing this, Kong Yingda burst into laughter. This old friend's talent was definitely the best.

His reputation among scholars can be called a literary figure, and there are few people in the world who can compare with him.

Usually talented people have a somewhat eccentric temperament. This is the case with this old friend, whose arrogant and conceited character is as famous as his talent.

However, even if a capable person is too proud, it is hard to argue with. Who says you are inferior to others?

Kong Yingda blew it, took another sip, put down the tea cup, and sighed: "Your dog's nose is too sensitive. Every time I come to check in, you just seem to see it. If I come again a few times, my little inventory will be enough."

If it’s gone, what will we do next?”

This tea is Tegong Longjing tea!

It is said that it is still the best spring tea. The tea farm of Zhongyi Hou Mansion in Hangzhou only produces a total of more than 20 kilograms a year.

Not only is this tea worth gold, but it is also priceless.

Thanks to his great reputation, Yang Fan gave away more than half a catty last year, and this year he was even more generous, with a full catty due to his friendship at Wangyue Tower.

Originally, Kong Yingda was not a person who liked to take advantage, but this kind of top-quality tea was simply too attractive to a person who likes tea!

Ever since, Kong Yingda could only accept it with a shy face...

But after this old friend knew that he had Tegong Longjing tea, he always came here every now and then. The consumption of tea was increasing day by day. I don’t know if a pound of tea this year will last a whole year.

Once he finished drinking it, Kong Yingda felt very distressed when he thought that he could only drink low-quality tea like boiled water in the future!

The old man didn't take it seriously. He drank the tea in one gulp, chirped a few times and said, "Brother Chongyuan I know is not such a stingy person. It's just tea. You are so stingy, how can you treat guests?"

"Besides, this tea wouldn't have such a fragrance without my tea-making techniques. Besides, Marquis Zhongyi, who is known as the best in Chang'an, is about to publish a book. As a great scholar among scholars, you can help him stand up.

."

"In this way, that boy must not dare to be ungrateful in return. From now on, Brother Chongyuan will be the elder. Isn't there endless enjoyment of this kind of tea?"

Proud people are always like this, and are always unconvinced by other talented people, so they did not have a good impression of Yang Fan.

It seems that he was very unhappy with Yang Fan writing books and preaching at such a young age. You must know that now that he was over fifty, he was recommended by Fang Xuanling to participate in the interpretation of the Five Classics, and he was only an assistant teacher at the Imperial College.

For Yang Fan, who was already the Minister of Rites at a young age, of course he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.

He believed that Yang Fan was just opportunistic to win the emperor's favor.

Kong Yingda smiled indifferently and did not take his words seriously.

This old friend has been persistent throughout his life, experienced the Sui and Tang dynasties, and was tirelessly obsessed with fame.

In the Sui Dynasty, he was a doctor in the county, but now he is only an assistant professor in the Imperial College. Although he also participated in the interpretation and writing of the "Five Classics", his rank is the lowest.

Now that I am nearly seventy years old, my official career is no longer promising. I think this will be the case in this life!

It's understandable that I can't stand a young talent like Yang Fan who has risen through the ranks, but in fact it's just jealousy.

Although he didn't want to argue with his old friend, Kong Yingda believed that his old friend's ideas were too extreme and that fame had blinded his mind.

Yang Fan was entrusted with an important task by His Majesty Li Er before he even reached the crown. How could it be achieved by opportunism?

When they met at Wangyue Tower, Yang Fan left a deep impression on Kong Yingda.

He was proficient in all poems, lyrics, and songs, and his mind was agile and intelligent. He could make Xu Jingzong, an old fox, fall into the trap with just a few words. How could he be such a simple person?

When I lamented that Yang Fan's talent dominated the world, it was not just talk.

Thinking of this, Kong Yingda said solemnly: "Well, you can know autumn by looking at a leaf. Brother Cai Zhang can only see with a leaf. As a senior scholar, how can you listen to some rumors?"

"Marquis Zhongyi is a man of erudition and talent. This book was written by him. It quotes scriptures, is easy to understand, and has strong knowledge points. It is a treasure book for children to learn literary words."

"It is no exaggeration to say that just this book "Yang's Enlightenment" can make Yang Fan famous throughout the ages. Although we are only known as 'Great Confucianists', compared with it, we are far behind."

As he spoke, Kong Yingda picked up the book Yang's Enlightenment and touched it gently. In addition to shock, there was also a trace of yearning and envy in his eyes.

As a literati, who doesn’t want his or her works to be passed down through the ages?

Obviously, Kong Yingda is also very optimistic about this book as an enlightenment.

Although "Yang's Enlightenment" has not yet begun to be promoted throughout the world, Kong Yingda has already foreseen the achievements of this book.

Enlightenment is the most difficult, but the biggest feature of this book's writing is that it has three characters in one sentence, rhymes with each other, is catchy, and the language is easy to understand.

Moreover, the content is arranged in a very orderly order, reflecting allusions from past dynasties and dynasties, and even instills Confucian etiquette, filial piety and brotherly thoughts into the article.

This shows that this book is not a simple knowledge transfer, but allows people to learn about integrity, shame, filial piety and brotherhood in the process of learning.

That is to say, children are taught from an early age to be morally based. This is the essence of Yang’s Enlightenment.

It can be said that this is not only a textbook for children to learn literacy and Chinese characters, but also a masterpiece that teaches people how to behave and do things, which is enough to make people famous in history.

Hearing Kong Yunda's high praise, the old man was a little stunned.

It seems that Kong Yingda did not expect that Kong Yingda would have such a high opinion of the mallet that everyone praised in Chang'an City, and he even spilled hot tea into his hands without realizing it.

But then he felt a little dissatisfied. Even if Yang Fan was really talented, how could he study classics all his life?

Their talents and knowledge are already among the best in the world today. How can they still be inferior to a child with a yellow mouth who has not reached the top level?

If Yang Fan was not the emperor's son-in-law, how could he have reached the high position of Minister of Rites at such a young age? The emperor was obviously suspected of nepotism!

When the old man was about to retort, the door to the check-in room was pushed open, and a clerk said respectfully: "Master Jijiu, Marquis Zhongyi asks to see you!"

Kong Yingda was slightly startled, and then said: "Please come quickly!"

Soon, Yang Fan walked into the check-in room and bowed to Kong Yingda: "As a junior, Yang Fan has met Mr. Kong. Please forgive me for visiting me rashly..."

Kong Yingda stood up and laughed loudly: "No wonder I heard the magpies chirping today! It turns out that a talent has come to my door. I am really lucky."
