Xu Yun smiled. "Tea is unintentional. If the drinker has the heart, the tea will have its own Zen meaning."
"That's right." Joleshwen nodded thoughtfully. "In this impetuous era, there aren't many people who can really sit down and drink tea to comprehend Zen. Whenever I feel like I'm covered in worldly sins, I like to sit here and brew a pot of good tea."
If Joleshwen wanted to play deep, Xu Yun would play along with him.
"Drinking tea can purify the soul, filter away impetuousness, and precipitate the understanding of life." Xu Yun also put on a look of disillusionment.
To be honest, Xu Yun did not understand what Joleshwen was thinking. In the beginning, he kept asking Xu Yun if he had any requests.
When Xu Yun said that he had some small problems and needed his help, Joleshwen pretended not to hear anything and talked about the Zen meaning of tea.
This old fox was nothing more than testing whether Xu Yun's so-called "problems" were urgent or important to Xu Yun.
If Xu Yun really cared about it, Xu Yun would definitely show that he wanted to bring the topic back to the main topic. In that case, it would mean that Xu Yun urgently needed Joleshwen's help. Joleshwen's help at this time was called timely assistance.
Under such circumstances, Joleshwen would have a certain request of Xu Yun. After all, timely assistance was a kind of kindness.
However, Xu Yun did not show any intention of bringing the topic back to the main topic.
This meant that Xu Yun did not want Joleshwen to feel that he needed his help. For Xu Yun, this was definitely not the feeling he wanted.
What effect did Xu Yun want? He wanted Joleshwen to feel that he might have the chance to help Xu Yun solve his problem. Xu Yun was not helpless without Joleshwen.
This could only be said to be icing on the cake, and definitely not a timely help.
The nature of these two matters was completely different. To put it bluntly, they were two completely different concepts.
It was like a football match. There was only half a minute left and the score was zero. Hua Xia's striker kicked the football directly into the goal guarded by the European players! By the time the European players were done with their stupor, the referee's whistle had sounded. Hua Xia's team had defeated a strong European team with a score of 1-0 and won the World Cup!
This ball was like sending charcoal in snowy weather. He couldn't do without it.
In other words, in the group stage, Hua Xia's national football team had already been defeated 2-0 by a team from a war-torn country in South Asia. The national football team had no hope of advancing, so they gave up. Then, that country scored a one-on-one goal a minute before the end of the game.
This was the icing on the cake. It just made the score look better. Whether they scored or not, it would not change the final outcome of this matter.
Of course, most people would never see the first analogy in their lives. The possibility of the second analogy would be seen once every four years. Fortunately, they were lucky this time and advanced. Xu Yun remembered that the last time he advanced, he was not even as tall as a car. Now, he was even taller than an off-road vehicle.
Back to the main topic, Xu Yun started to talk about the Zen meaning of tea. His words made Joleshwin feel like he was looking at flowers in a fog.
"Life is like tea, and tea is like life. Tea is a metaphor for a person's life. " Xu Yun boasted, "The first cup of tea in life, the first taste, is bitter and tasteless, just like the bitter years at the beginning of life. At this time, one needs to sharpen one's mind, work one's muscles and bones, bathe in the wind and rain, and pursue the fragrance of life's tea."
Xu Yun did not dare to say if Joleshwin would listen to him, but Xiaoya was completely captivated.
She was completely infatuated by Xu Yun's erudition and eloquence.
Of course, Xiaoya knew very well that a woman of her status was not worthy of such an outstanding man in front of her.
However, she was lucky enough to meet such an outstanding man once in her life, so her life was not in vain. If there was another life, she would definitely not choose this path.
In other words, if she had met Xu Yun a few months earlier, she would not have walked this path.
Xiaoya had not been able to endure the bitter years at the beginning of life. She had not been able to endure the tempering of her mind, the fatigue of her muscles and bones, and the bathing in the wind and rain. Therefore, she had not been able to taste the fragrance of life's tea, and had fallen to this point.
Xu Yun was still talking. "Build and taste again, soak in the essence of the tea, and start to feel the rich fragrance and endless aftertaste. At this time, life is in its prime, brimming with youthful vitality, at the peak of one's career, experiencing the taste of sweetness after bitterness. This is the second cup of tea in life. "
These words clearly resonated with Joleshwin.
Indeed, no one knew better than him the taste of sweetness after bitterness. If Joleshwin had been able to reach this point, the bitterness he had experienced in the past was not something that young people nowadays could imagine.
There were not many young people nowadays who could endure the bitter years he had endured in the past.
When Xu Yun said these words, Joleshwin could not help but admire him. To be able to have such deep life experience at such a young age, he was truly a genius!
"Then build again, and the mellow fragrance gradually dissipates, leaving only a faint aftertaste. Just like in the later years of life, when the flourishing disappears and the splendid silence returns to its original state, everything becomes indifferent and indifferent. When one enters the realm of indifference, one will not be affected by favor or disgrace, leaving or staying will not matter." After Xu Yun finished speaking, he drank the tea in his cup. "Big boss, do you agree with what I said?"
"I am truly impressed by such an understanding." Joleshwin's words were sincere, without any pretense.
At this point, Xu Yun knew that Joleshwin wanted to take the initiative to return to the main topic, but he purposely continued to delay.
"Some people say that tasting tea is like tasting life. Only after experiencing ups and downs can the intoxicating mellow fragrance be produced. The fragrance of tea is like the heart of an orchid. While tasting tea and discussing the Dao, between the rush and the sip, between the rise and fall, what is released is the serenity of spring, the heat of summer, the mellow of autumn, and the chill of winter. " Xu Yun spoke loudly without any intention of stopping. "Savoring it carefully, whether it is bitter or sweet, mellow or tranquil, it has a lasting meaning. What is experienced is the fragrance of life."
"Yes, yes, yes." Joleshwin was no longer in the mood to listen.
Although he had good taste in teahouses, he was definitely not someone who truly understood the zen of tea.
Thus, when Xu Yun said these things, Joleshwin was not interested. He was only interested in power and money.
A person who had truly grasped the zen of the tea language would not pursue power and money like Joleshwin.
"Tea is the condensation of a person's life, whether it is good or bad, lonely or regretful … You have to slowly savor it to understand the flavor of life. Just like how one should not be too hasty in life and not miss out on the best scenery along the way, "Xu Yun said as he looked at the scenery outside the window." The scenery here is truly unforgettable. "
"Is that so?" Joleshwin finally seized the opportunity to change the topic. "Downstairs, there are a few suites that I specially decorated. Usually, when friends come, they choose to stay the night."
"Is that so?" Xu Yun pretended to be surprised. "Such a good place. Not many people have the honor of staying here, right?"
Joleshwin nodded. "In my eyes, there are no more than ten people who can stay here. Brother Xu Yun, you are one of them."
"Then I am truly honored. Big Boss thinks so highly of me. I don't even know what to say." After Xu Yun finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Ya.
Xiao Ya knew that her fate was about to change.
"Brother, you have such a beautiful girlfriend. Stay here tonight and have fun." Joleshwin said, "I don't have as good luck as you."
"Big Boss, you are slapping me in the face." Xu Yun said, "Xiao Ya, since Big Boss thinks so highly of you, accompany Big Boss for a chat tonight. How about it? "
The disappointment on Xiao Ya's face was not an act.
This scene was not only reflected in Joleshwin's eyes, but also in Xu Yun's eyes.
Joleshwin's eyes were clearly emitting a green light. For him, he did not lack women. What he lacked was a kind of stimulation. For example, he needed to be tempted by a woman's man. This was the kind of stimulation that Joleshwin needed.
"I will listen to your arrangements." Xiao Ya did not even know how she opened her mouth.
