Chapter 692 To See Tea Fairy Again
Ye Qing continued, “Qin Zhong came here to pursue Wei Yanran. I heard that he really spends a lot of money picking up girls. He hired several of the best tea art masters in the capital to be his teachers to teach him the tea ceremony.”
Now his achievements in tea making are quite good. He is ranked among the top three every time and meets Wei Yanran and the Tea Fairy, enjoying the first-class tea and talking about life.”
At this moment, there was a commotion in the hall. “The Tea Fairy is here, the Tea Fairy is here…”
“And Miss Wei, I learned a new tea ceremony today. I must make it into the top three, so I can have a cup of tea with the two beauties.”While the crowd was talking about it, two graceful figures appeared behind the beaded curtain area.
After sitting down in front of the tea table inside the beaded curtain area, Hua Mingrui said to the people outside, “Everyone, welcome to today’s tea party. First of all, please have a taste of my tea.”
After that, the maidservants with trays in their hands, came out one by one, and the aroma of tea filled the air.
“The tea is here. The tea is here. Finally, I can drink the tea of the Tea Fairy again…”
“I’ve drunk a lot of tea from teahouses, but none of them can compare with the Tea made by the Tea Fairy. This tea is really delicious…”
“It’s a pity that the tea party is held only once a week. Why can’t it be held once a day? In that case, I’ll be truly blessed…”
All the guests present were talking about it. In short, they were full of praises for the tea made by the Tea Fairy.“I’m telling you, this is not the greatest level of tea from the Tea Fairy. Last time, when I got into the top three ranks, I finally tasted the tea made by the Tea Fairy in person. That was immortal tea, and every sip I took left me with endless aftertastes…”
“You want to show off, don’t you? I also want to enter the top three ranks and drink tea with the Tea Fairy face to face, but I have to have the ability…”
While everyone was talking, the maids quickly distributed the tea cups one by one, to the guests present, Qin Haodong’s table was given two cups of tea in total.
As the Emperor Green Wood, no one knew about tea better than him. Generally speaking, making tea was divided into three levels. To make the fragrance of tea was at the first level and to return to the original taste was at the second level. Pervading Fragrance was at the third level.
Although the tea in front of him was fragrant, it was only at the first level of the tea ceremony. However, to be able to brew so many cups of tea for so many people to such an extent was enough to show that the tea maker’s achievements in the tea ceremony were extraordinary.
Seeing that Qin Haodong did not touch the teacup in front of him, Ye Qing quickly grabbed it and said, “We agreed that you should give me this cup of tea.”
The tea made by the Tea Fairy was in a top-grade purple sand teacup. This kind of teacup was good, but unfortunately it was too small. Ye Qing could not enjoy it.
Qin Haodong said with a smile, “It’s just a cup of tea. If you can help me contact the National Museum tomorrow, I’ll make you a real good pot of tea so that you will have enough to drink.”
Ye Qing said in surprise, “You also know how to make tea. You are not fooling around with me, are you?”
“Not only do I know how to make tea, but no one can compare with me in making tea.”
Ye Qing sneered and said, “How dare you blow your trumpet in the Tea Fairy’s teahouse? No matter how good you are, can you compare with the Tea Fairy?”
Qin Haodong smiled and did not say anything. There was no need to argue about this kind of thing at all.
Soon, everyone drank up most of the tea in their cups. Hua Mingrui, who was inside the beaded curtain area, said, “Dear friends, you have already tasted the tea made by me. Next, let’s go to the second stage.
“After seeing your tea skills, I will give you my judgement. The top three can come in and have a cup of tea with me.”
“I’ll go first!”
As soon as Hua Mingrui finished speaking, a young man in his twenties rushed to the front desk. He was the one who claimed to have just learned how to make tea.
There was a table at the front desk and on the table was a set of high-quality purple sand tea set, which was for the guests to make tea.
The young man picked up the tea set and began to warm the kettle and the tea. His series of movements were quite good.
Qin Haodong shook his head as he watched. It was obvious that this man had just learned how to make tea. His attainments were very shallow and merely in form only. It was impossible that he could make good tea.
Soon, the young man finished making his tea. A maid brought the cup of tea into the beaded curtain area. However, Hua Mingrui just looked at it and frowned slightly. She put the cup aside. She could not drink this kind of inferior tea at all.
The young man stood outside the beaded curtain area. Although he could not see the Tea Fairy’s appearance clearly, he could see her movements. Seeing that the Tea Fairy did not even taste his tea, he immediately knew that he had failed and could only walk away resentfully.
After that, several people went to the stage, one after another, but their efforts were not very good. The Tea Fairy Hua Mingrui did not give any comment.
At this time, there was a burst of applause. The young master of the Qin family, Qin Zhong, stepped onto the stage.
Compared to the people in front of him, Qin Zhong’s tea skills were indeed much better. His series of movements were smooth and he quickly poured out a good pot of tea that had a fragrant smell.
Qin Haodong smiled slightly. In order to pursue Wei Yanran, this guy had indeed put in a lot of work in the tea ceremony. In time to come, he would be able to reach the higher level.
Although Qin Zhong was wearing a hat, he could still see the pride on his face. This guy poured the tea into two cups and asked the maid beside him to send them into the beaded curtain area.
He stood outside and said, “Miss Hua, Miss Wei, please have a taste of the tea I made.”
Wei Yanran picked up the teacup and took a sip, but she did not make any comment.
Hua Mingrui picked up the tea in her hand and sniffed it with her nose. Then, she took a small sip and nodded slightly.
“The progress of your tea making skill is indeed amazing. You are about to step into the threshold.”
In fact, Hua Mingrui’s words were vague. It could be said that she was praising Qin Zhong. However, from another perspective, she was reminding Qin Zhong that he had not stepped into the tea ceremony’s threshold yet.
According to the rules of the tea industry, only by making a cup of tea that was fragrant could one be considered to have crossed the threshold. However, Qin Zhong’s level was clearly still a little lacking.
However, Qin Zhong did not understand the meaning behind her words. In his opinion, this was the biggest reward that Hua Mingrui gave him. He raised his head and glanced around the audience, feeling proud of himself.
In his opinion, he would be among the top three today. He could go in and enjoy the tea with Wei Yanran and the Tea Fairy.
Looking at Qin Zhong on the stage, Qin Haodong remembered that when he was in primary school, the teacher praised a student. “You have made great progress recently. Your grades actually rose from 20 to 59 points quickly. If you try a little more, you will pass…”
The Qin Zhong in front of him was very similar to the student. However, it was obvious that Qin Zhong did not have that sort of humility. On the contrary, it was as though he had won an international prize. Qin Haodong could not help bursting into laughter when he thought of this.
Qin Zhong was standing on the stage showing off. His expression immediately sank when he heard this ridicule. He could be considered a big man in the capital. Who dared to mock him so publicly?
He looked in the direction of the laughter and saw Qin Haodong and Ye Qing. His expression suddenly changed.
It was that young man who shaved off his hair and that of his grandfather and father. Because of this, his father had to leave the Qin family. He could not raise his head in the Qin family again. He did not expect to meet him here.
He hated Qin Haodong to the bone, but he was also aware of the gap between them. If he fought with Qin Haodong, he would only humiliate himself. He could only glare at Qin Haodong, but he did not dare to say anything.
Suddenly, he had an idea. “I can’t defeat you, but I can always humiliate you.”
“Qin Haodong, what are you laughing at? If you have the ability, come here and make a pot of tea. Let everyone see your tea skills.”
In his opinion, for Qin Haodong to be able to reach the level nine supreme power realm at such a young age, he must be obsessed with cultivation all day. It was impossible for him to be aware of the tea ceremony. As long as he dared to go on stage, he would be humiliated and laughed at by others.
When the two people inside the bead curtain heard what he said, their bodies trembled slightly.
Then Wei Yanran’s expression changed greatly. The person who was known by this name in the capital must be Qin Haodong, who was engaged to her, not Medical Sage, whom she had always admired.
This annoying guy even had the same name as her idol.
When Qin Haodong saw Qin Zhong calling him to the stage, he shook his head and said, “Not interested!”
His tea skills didn’t need anyone’s approval. If he competed with these people on the same stage, it would really harm his identity.
Hua Mingrui originally wanted to comfort Wei Yanran, but before she could speak, she suddenly heard Qin Haodong’s words. She suddenly trembled as if she had been struck by lightning.
Although she had only seen him once, Qin Haodong’s voice was deeply imprinted in her mind. When she heard him speaking, she immediately realized that the person outside was the Medical Sage in her heart.
Seeing that Qin Haodong did not dare to go on stage, Qin Zhong became even more arrogant.
“Are you not interested or afraid? Since you don’t know anything about the tea ceremony, don’t laugh at others. The tea I made so randomly will be a hundred times more fragrant than yours…”
As he was talking, he saw the bead curtain being gently lifted. Hua Mingrui came out in a hurry. She looked around the hall anxiously, looking for that person.
Wei Yanran did not know what was wrong with her best friend, so she followed her out.
When Qin Zhong saw the Tea Fairy and Wei Yanran coming out, he couldn’t help but be overjoyed. This was absolutely something that had never happened before. Today, these two beautiful women must have been amazed by his tea skills, so they came out from behind the bead curtain.
He quickly ran over and said, “Yanran, the Tea Fairy, I’m scolding that shameless person. He obviously doesn’t know how to make tea, but he still dares to laugh at others. This kind of person should not be allowed to come to the Tea Fairy’s party in the future…”
While he was talking, he saw Hua Mingrui’s expression change. Then she ran hurriedly toward Qin Haodong.
Everyone was shocked. The Tea Fairy had always been graceful and elegant. She paid great attention to her appearance. She would never panic whenever she encountered anything. What was going on today?
Hua Mingrui came to Qin Haodong’s tea table and said excitedly, “Is it really you, Mr. Qin? When did you come to the capital?”
Hearing her question, Wei Yanran, who followed her closely, trembled. Although Hua Mingrui did not say much, it was enough to prove that Mr. Qin was Medical Sage from Jiangnan City and her idol whom she wanted to elope with.
She had fantasized about Qin Haodong’s appearance countless times, and had heard Hua Mingrui’s praises many times, but she had never thought that he would be so handsome.
For a moment, she stood there in a daze, as if she were a sculpture made of wood and mud.
Qin Haodong did not expect that the Tea Fairy here was the one he knew. He quickly stood up and said, “It’s the Tea Fairy. I didn’t expect to meet you here. It seems that we are really fated.”
He had just said it casually, but when Hua Mingrui thought of the conversation with Wei Yanran before, her cheeks turned slightly red.
At this moment, Qin Zhong followed closely behind. When he saw the situation in front of him, he felt that something was wrong. He said to Hua Mingrui, “Tea Fairy, do you know him?”
Hua Mingrui turned around and said to everyone in the hall, “Everyone, let me introduce this person to you. This is the tea ceremony master I mentioned before. He is Mr. Qin Haodong, who can make tea at the Pervading Fragrance level!”
