Chapter 691 Jingdong Teahouse

“Of course it’s true. How can I joke about this matter?”

Hua Mingrui looked enthralled. She recalled the scene at that time and said, “When the Nihon people came to challenge us, we didn’t take them seriously. But their skills were really better than ours.”

“Although they learned many things from us, their achievements are no worse than ours. If it were not for the appearance of Medical Sage, we would have been completely defeated.”

Speaking of this, she turned her head to look at the painting on the wall. “Unfortunately, when the challenge ended, I returned to the capital. I didn’t see him. At that time, I brought the painting back as a keepsake.”

“Are you in love with him? Wei Yanran said, “No wonder you refused to give me this painting. It turns out that you want to keep it so you will remember him.”

Hua Mingrui blushed and said, “I don’t love him. After all, we have only met once, but he is definitely the person I respect most in my life.”

“Since I was a child, I had never admired anyone, especially in the aspect of the tea ceremony. I was given the nickname of the Tea Fairy, and I accepted it.”

“But since I saw his tea ceremony, I knew that I was too weak. How could he have reached the supreme realm of the Pervading Fragrance so easily?”

“After seeing his tea skills, I also benefited a lot. Even after so many days of hard work, I barely reached the primary level of the Pervading Fragrance.”

Wei Yanran said, “Judging from the expression of worship on your face, you must really like him. If you like someone, you don’t have to meet him many times. Just like me, although I have only seen this painting once, I have fallen in love with him at first sight. I am willing to marry him.”

“Of course you’re willing. Hua Mingrui said, “Medical Sage is an extraordinary person. Not only is he proficient in medical skills, but he is also proficient at playing all kinds of instruments, chess, calligraphy and painting. Generally speaking, God is fair and will not give such outstanding talents to a person with such good looks.’

“But he is not in this range. His talents are amazing and he is handsome at the same time. He has a good temperament and his words and deeds are very elegant and refined. Who can refuse an outstanding man like him?”

Wei Yanran looked at the Cold Plum Painting in front of her and said with a fascinated look, “If I hadn’t grown up with you and know that you are generally arrogant and never the type to praise anyone, I would have thought that you were lying to me.”

“Is there really such a perfect man in the world? Why can’t I meet him?”

Hua Mingrui said, “Medical Sage is absolutely a perfect and respectable person. The reason why I named this teahouse Jingdong Teahouse is to express my admiration for him.”

Wei Yanran said with a surprised look on her face, “I see. I’m wondering why you, such a refined person would give this name to the teahouse. Please explain to me. What’s the meaning of Jingdong?”

“Dong is his name, Medical Sage is called Qin Haodong. So I named the teahouse Jingdong Teahouse as a mark of my respect.”

“What? His name is Qin Haodong?”

As soon as Hua Mingrui finished speaking, Wei Yanran screamed.

“What’s wrong? Why are you making such a big fuss? Is there anything special about this name?”

Wei Yanran said, “If I remember correctly, the fiancé that my family arranged for me seems to have the same name. He comes from the Qin family in the capital and his name is Qin Haodong.”

Hua Mingrui shook her head and said, “It’s not a big deal. There are too many people in the world who have the same name. Medical Sage is born and bred in Jiangnan City and has nothing to do with the Qin family. He is in Jiangnan City, so it’s impossible for him to be in the capital.”

Wei Yanran felt Hua Mingrui’s words made sense. She sighed and said, “I think so. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?”

“It is said that Qin Haodong has very excellent skills. He reached the terrifying level of a level nine Supreme Power Realm at such a young age. Unfortunately, he is not my cup of tea. I do not like warrior artists. I prefer those who have literary talent.”

“I wish we could do an exchange. If God can send the Medical Sage you mentioned to me, then I will die with no regrets in this life.”

Hua Mingrui said, “Don’t think so much about it. It’s very likely that there are some unsatisfactory things in the world. I believe they are talking about women like us.”

Wei Yanran said, “You’re good. At least, you won’t have a hard life like me. You will not be forced by your family to marry someone you don’t like.”

“Now I really want to go to Jiangnan City to find Medical Sage, but I also know that the Wei family is powerful. I am afraid that I can’t be with him when I go to Jiangnan City. I will only bring disaster to him.”

“But if I can’t find the person I like, what’s the difference if I marry him or not?” Hua Mingrui sighed and said, “Forget it, don’t think too much about unhappy things.”

“Today’s tea fair is about to begin. Let’s wait and see if someone will spring some surprises on us.”

Wei Yanran said, “I don’t think it’s possible. The purpose of your tea fair is to find someone who can surpass you in the art of tea, and then improve your own realm in the art of tea ceremony.”

“But I think the chances are slim. With your tea skills, Medical Sage is the only one who can surpass you in the whole world.”

Hua Mingrui said, “Forget it. Let’s not talk about it anymore. It’s better to have hope than to have no hope at all.”

Wei Yanran suddenly remembered something and said, “Mingrui, since your grandfather is seriously ill and the medical skills of Medical Sage are so good, why didn’t you invite him to the capital to treat your grandfather?”

“If only you could invite him here. Even if I can’t stay with him until the end of my life, it will be good just to see him. Otherwise, it will be my lifelong regret.”

Hua Mingrui said, “I’ve mentioned about Medical Sage before, but my uncle does not believe in Chinese medicine practitioners at all, so he refused directly.”

“Although Grandpa is nice to me, it’s necessary to get my uncle to agree to the treatment, so I don’t dare to invite the Medical Sage to the capital, rashly.”

“Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if my uncle did not allow him to treat grandpa when he came all the way here.”

Wei Yanran nodded. She agreed with Hua Mingrui’s words, but her face was full of regret.

Qin Haodong and Ye Qing arrived at the Jingdong Teahouse. He looked up at the antique teahouse and couldn’t help but sigh, “This teahouse is good. From the design alone, it can be seen that the owner has a very high artistic conception of the tea ceremony.”

“You are a visionary. The owner of this teahouse is called the Tea Fairy. Her tea skills have reached a superb level.”

“Everyone who comes here to participate in the tea fair can have a taste of a cup of tea made by the Tea Fairy. The taste is really wonderful. It’s hard to describe it. So every weekend, I will come here to have a cup of tea.”

Ye Qing licked her delicate red lips with her tongue and said with an expression of infinite aftertaste, “A cup of tea is really not enough, so I will get two cups of tea today since you are with me.”

“Uh…”

Qin Haodong said, “You brought me here to attend the tea party just to have another cup of tea?”

Ye Qing said with a smile, “Of course not. It’s just one of my purpose.”

“In the past, when I came here alone to drink tea, there were always some annoying guys who came to harass me. Now with you by my side, it will save me a lot of trouble. I can enjoy my tea in peace.”

Qin Haodong had a wry smile on his face. There were two uses for him today. First, he could be swapped for a cup of tea. Second, he can be used as a shield.

While they were talking, they walked into the teahouse. The people who came to the teahouse had be members of the teahouse. Ye Qing showed her membership card and then took Qin Haodong’s arm and walked into the lobby together.

The lobby looked very wide, about 100 square meters, and was filled with tea tables.

At this time, the hall was almost full of guests, and there was only a table in the corner, where they could sit.

“Fortunately, we came in time. Otherwise, we would not have a seat.”

Ye Qing took Haodong’s arm and walked toward the corner.

When a rich playboy saw Ye Qing, he was about to come over and say hello, but he saw Qin Haodong. He frowned and said, “Miss Ye, when did you start having a gigolo to keep you company?”

Ye Qing glared at him and said, “What does it have to do with you? That’s what I like.”

The man blushed with embarrassment, but he had no choice but to shake his head and sit down. The other people who wanted to flirt with Ye Qing also gave up when they saw this scene.

After they sat down, Ye Qing said with a smile, “It’s really useful to have you with me. It’s much quieter.”

Qin Haodong said, “Sister, when did you start keeping me? Why didn’t I get paid?”

Ye Qing said with a smile, “There’s no need for us to talk about money. If you think it’s unfair, you can take me as your lover. I don’t want a penny.”

Qin Haodong knew that it would not be advantageous to quarrel with her. He looked up and saw an area which was cordoned off by a beaded curtain on the other side of the hall, which looked very elegant. There was a tea table in it. He asked curiously, “What is that place used for? Why is it separated?”

“That’s the Tea Fairy’s seat, Ye Qing said, “The tea party is held by the Tea Fairy. This is done once every week and the person who comes here can get to taste the tea made by the Tea Fairy.”

“After that, you can show your tea skills separately. Finally, the Tea Fairy will choose the top three. As long as you are selected, you can sit and drink tea with the Tea Fairy inside the beaded curtain area and have a cup of the best tea brewed by her.”

“Oh!” Qin Haodong nodded. “The Tea Fairy must be a beauty. Are all the people here waiting for the Tea Fairy?”

He saw that most of the people who were drinking tea were men. So far, Ye Qing was the only woman. As for the title of the Tea Fairy, there were many people who had such a nickname. It might not have any connection with Hua Mingrui.

“Of course she is a beauty, a superior beauty,” Ye Qing said, “but not everyone is here for the Tea Fairy. Some of them are here to see Wei Yanran, one of the three beauties in the capital.”

“Wei Yanran, what is she doing here?”

Qin Haodong was a little surprised. Wei Junzheng had just come to propose marriage today and he had planned to marry Wei Yanran as part of his strategy to conquer the Wei family. He didn’t expect that they would meet so soon.

“What’s wrong? Are you nervous? Ye Qing laughed and said, “Wei Yanran is the best friend of the Tea Fairy. She will make an appearance every time. If you can go inside and drink with the Tea Fairy, you will be lucky to see her actual face.”

“Therefore, most of the people who attend the tea party are here for the sake of these two beauties. Their dream is that one day they can become the guest of honor.”

“These young masters of aristocratic families only know how to drink tea before, but they do not know how to make tea. However, for this purpose, many people have started practicing tea skills, including the eldest young master of the Qin family, Qin Zhong.”

While they were talking, a man came in from outside. It was Qin Zhong, who had just been shaved by Qin Haodong.

Qin Zhong’s dressing today was a little different from his usual style. There was no longer any shiny hair on his head. Instead, he had a hat on his head.

As the young master of the Qin family, someone had already reserved a seat for him. After Qin Zhong came, he was busy looking at the inside of the beaded curtain area and did not see Qin Haodong and Ye Qing at all.
