Mingmen Family

Chapter 64 The Master of Intelligence
In Chongshan Temple, Ye Chongming, who was mentioned by the tea guests at this time, was leading Ye Jiaxing and Ye Yaming brothers and sisters into the Zen room of Master Zhizhi, following a young novice monk.

As soon as he entered the meditation room, Ye Yaming was stunned.

In addition to an old monk, there were two young men in the room.And these two people were exactly Lu Guanyi and the magistrate Qi Ji whom she had met when she and Ye Hongsheng delivered tea a few days ago.

The two parties met and introduced each other.

When introducing Ye Jiaxing and Ye Yaming to everyone, Lu Guanyi and Qi Ji just greeted each other with them, and did not mention that they met Ye Yaming once.

Ye Yaming breathed a sigh of relief.

If they had met before, they would have to mention the fact that she and Ye Hongsheng went to the Lu Mansion to collect Tuancha.A person like a smart master is the best of the best.Needless to say, with just a few words, one can guess that what the Ye family recycles is private tea of ​​poor quality.

Although this matter was reported in front of the magistrate, the less people know about it, the better. After all, it is not a good thing, and it will damage the Ye family's reputation.

Hearing Master Zhizhi's introduction, Lu Guanyi, who is slightly heroic, is the eldest son of Xuanwu Hou's family from the capital. Ye Chongming was taken aback, and hurriedly raised his hand in salute: "I have long admired and admired him."

Ye Yaming was not surprised either.

Being able to live in such a house, he is also close friends with the magistrate, and judging from the seats before they got up just now, Lu Guanyi is obviously sitting on top of Qi Ji, which shows that he is not only rich, but also has a certain status.

The identity of the eldest son of the Hou family is not surprising.

However, since Lu Guanyi is an adult and the eldest son of Marquis Xuanwu, shouldn't he be called the son of the prince and called "the son of the prince" when he was introduced?Why did Master Zhizhi only introduce him as the "eldest son"?
This matter has nothing to do with her, and her doubts passed in a flash in her mind.After Lu Guanyi, Qi Ji and Ye Chongming gave up their seats, they sat down in the last seat.

Ye Chongming sent someone to deliver a greeting card yesterday, saying that he had good tea for Master Zhizhi to taste.

So after exchanging a few pleasantries, Master Zhizhi asked, "What good tea did Mr. Ye bring? The poor monk can't wait to taste it."

"Haha, Master Zhizhi, taste it first. As for whether it is good tea, you have to make a conclusion, Master, I can't say." Ye Chongming said.

Ye Jiaxing stood up at this moment, and handed the box in his hand to the little monk.The little monk opened the lid of the box and held it in front of Master Zhizhi.

Smart Master looked inside: "Loose tea?"

He was not surprised.He is a pure tea drinker, and he doesn't like the complicated production process of Tuancha whose true taste is concealed by spices. He usually only drinks loose tea.

The reason why he has friendship with Ye Chongming is because he likes to drink the best loose tea from the Ye family, and he buys some from the Ye family every year.

In fact, there is also a tea garden behind Chongshan Temple, which also produces some tea every year.However, Master Zhizhi and the monks in the temple are still not as good at making tea as Ye Hongsheng, and the taste of the loose tea they make is slightly inferior, so Master Zhihui bought it from Ye's family.

And in view of Master Zhizhi's status, he has friendship with many dignitaries, and he has a reputation as a tea fanatic. He likes the Ye family's loose tea, which is also beneficial to the Ye family's tea in improving the character and reputation.

Therefore, Master Zhizhi said it was a purchase, but in fact the Ye family refused to accept the money. Even if they did, they would donate it to the temple in the name of offering incense money, and the donation was more than what he paid for tea.

In addition, every time the Ye family makes good tea or new tea, they will send some to Master Zhizhi for tasting.

This is how the friendship between Master Zhizhi and Ye Chongming came about.Although the two don't know each other very well, Ye Chongming always has a place among Smart Masters.

Now seeing that Ye Chongming brought loose tea, he was not surprised, but just curious.

He stretched out his hand to pick up a handful of tea leaves, put them in front of his nose and smelled them.

"Huh?" He raised his head and looked at Ye Chongming in surprise, "Osmanthus fragrans?"

Ye Chongming smiled and nodded, pointed to Ye Yaming and said, "This is developed by my three granddaughters."

Master Zhizhi also has friendship with Ye Hongsheng, and he admires Ye Hongsheng's tea-making skills very much.Just because the tea-making skills are the Ye family's housekeeping skills, it is not easy for him to ask Ye Hongsheng for advice, otherwise the friendship between the two may be deeper than that of Ye Chongming.

Ye Chongming knew this, and during the introduction just now, he specifically named Ye Yaming as Ye Hongsheng's eldest daughter.

Master Zhizhi was taken aback, and then carefully looked at Ye Yaming for a few moments, then nodded and praised: "A tiger father has no dog daughter. Miss Ye is so powerful at such a young age, it is really rare."

He turned his head and told the little novice: "Hurry up and taste it."

Ye Chongming brought Ye Yaming here today. In addition to letting Ye Yaming meet Master Zhizhi, he also wanted to show off his granddaughter's tea-making skills in front of Master Zhihui.

Seeing Master Zhizhi calling the young novice to drink tea, Ye Chongming turned his head to look at Ye Yaming.

Ye Yaming shook his head slightly at him.

Although Ye Chongming was puzzled in his heart, he was used to listening to Ye Yaming now, knowing that she must have her reasons for what she did, so he stopped thinking and turned back to watch the little novice making tea.

The eyebrow-eye lawsuit between the grandparent and the grandson was naturally noticed by Master Zhizhi.He glanced at Ye Chongming.

Master Zhizhi was born in the royal family, and he is a cousin of the current emperor who has not appeared in the fifth server, and has a prominent status.It's just that he was weak and sickly since he was a child, and he almost died of illness several times before he was ten years old.The eminent monk said that he had a predestined relationship with the Buddha, and his parents let him become a monk in order to keep him alive.

Now that he has become a monk, he has jumped out of the world of mortals. He is very impatient to entertain those guests who come to visit with various purposes.Only some relatives who can't get rid of it, or those who have friendship with their parents and relatives, will meet each other.

And those who can see him have a good status.This is why the saying "Masters of intelligence make friends with powerful people" has been passed down by outsiders.

Ye Chongming can have a position with him, apart from Ye Chongming being able to catch his eyes with tea leaves from the Ye family, and Ye Chongming's personality is also excellent, it is also because of Ye Chongming's knowledge and interest.

He never bothered Master Smart, at most twice a year.Even if you want to meet, people will send a greeting card in advance, and Master Zhizhi said that you can meet, so you come to meet.

It is not like some people who come to temples under the guise of offering incense, and then either "wreck in" or beg the monks to intercede with them.Usually, I will "untiringly" send greeting cards.

And their goal is not him as a monk, but those so-called "nobles".

In order for Ye Chongming not to breed such ambitions, Master Zhizhi never met him alone.Even if there are occasional unavoidable guests, they will send Ye Chongming away first, and see the guests again.
