Chapter 691 - Jingdong Teahouse (1/2)

“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.”
