The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 60 Who do you want to marry
But it is said that Wen Shi sent his confidant nanny to Feixue Temple to give his son and An Ran a combination of horoscopes, which was originally a trivial matter, and it did not take much effort.Although Feixue Temple is outside the city, it is not far to go there by carriage. It stands to reason that if Master Mingjing is not busy, he will be back at noon. Even if Master Mingjing is delayed, he should reply in the afternoon.However, Mother Wang, who was in charge of this matter, came back in the evening, and did not bring back Master Mingjing's approval, but instead brought back a message from Master Mingjing, asking Lord Qian to go to Feixue Temple when he has time.

Wen could not help being surprised, how could this be?Could it be that the girl's horoscope doesn't match her son's?If that's the case, Master Ming Jing gave an honest reply, so why invite the master to meet him in person?
In the evening, Wen informed Qian Pengyang of the matter.Qian Pengyang also found it very strange, but it was just a combination of horoscopes. If it is good, it is good, if it is not good, it is not good. What do you just ask him to go over?
Qian Pengyang was curious, but there were many things in the county, and it took him several days before he had time to go out of the city to Feixue Temple.

Feixue Temple is located on the mountainside of Cuifeng Mountain outside the city. There are many cherry trees planted inside and outside the temple. During the flowering period, the white cherry blossoms rustle down in the spring breeze, just like snow in winter, hence the name.

Qian Pengyang got off the carriage at the foot of the mountain and slowly climbed up the long stone steps. After walking for about three quarters of an hour, he arrived in front of the temple.

Qian Pengyang and Master Mingjing are old acquaintances. They both like to play chess and have been chess friends for many years.Speaking of playing chess, Qian Pengyang found a few chess friends in the small county town of Hejiang, such as Zhao Shihua, who is very capable in all aspects, but he can't play chess.Here, apart from Master Ming Jing, Master Zhou from the county school can barely play a few games with him.

Qian Pengyang walked into the temple with ease, and went straight to Master Mingjing's meditation room. He saw that Master Mingjing had burned incense and set up the chessboard, and was waiting to make tea.

"Hey, this tea smells so good!" Qian Pengyang sniffed, and immediately walked over to follow the scent of tea. "Why is this tea so fragrant?"

"Hehe, isn't it fragrant? This is the rumored Dou's green tea!"

"Dou's Green Tea?" Qian Pengyang was startled, got up and ran to the door to have a look, he was relieved that he didn't see anyone.He closed the door and came back to sit down again, and then whispered: "Master, where did you read it? You can't even mention this name, don't you know?"

"Amitabha, it's just a pot of tea. Your Excellency, why should you be so careful. It's not Taizong's reign now. This tea is handed down from the palace. Your Excellency, please rest assured." Master Mingjing looked disapproving, making Qian Peng Yang couldn't help but settle down.

"Oh? Did it really come from the palace?" Qian Pengyang took the tea handed over by Master Ming Jing, first took a deep sniff of the tea fragrance, and then took a shallow sip of the tea. "Good tea!"

"It is said that the third prince saw the record of Dou's clear tea from the inner study, and ordered someone to fry it successfully. Now, this kind of clear tea in the capital costs ten taels of silver." Master Mingjing played a good game of chess, and even more It's good tea. I traveled to the capital last year, and it's not long since I came back.

"Ten taels of silver? Isn't it too expensive?" After all, Qian Pengyang is only a county magistrate, and his monthly salary is limited. If it weren't for other filial piety and family support, relying on his little salary alone, let alone hiring a master , even those concubines at home might not be able to support them. "Master, is this tea a gift from others?"

Qian Pengyang understood very well that although Master Mingjing's Dharma is high and he is respected by people, he is following the path of penance.He never collects money, and if someone offers sesame oil money, he will hand it over to the temple without keeping a tael of silver.Every time he went out for a wandering trip, he practiced medicine while seeking alms.

Master Mingjing nodded, as if he was thinking of the benefactor who gave him the tea. After a while, he sighed softly: "I didn't really understand what tea is until I ate this Dou's clear tea. By the way, with this Dou’s clear tea, there is also a tea pagoda poem circulating in Beijing, have you ever heard of it?”

Qian Pengyang shook his head, he had been away from Beijing for a long time, although the imperial court kept sending reports from his residence, how could he write about such trivial matters?

With a smile on his face, Master Mingjing turned around and took out a plain note with writing on it from the drawer behind him and handed it to him.

Qian Pengyang took a look and couldn't help but his eyes lit up.I saw the words on the plain paper:

tea

Fragrant leaves, buds,
Mu Shike, love monk home.

Grinding carved white jade, weaving red yarn.

Chrysanthemum fry yellow core color, the bowl turns to dust flowers.

Invited to accompany Mingyue after night, and ordered Zhaoxia before morning.

People of the past and the present have never tired of washing, but they will know how to boast when they are drunk.

"Sure enough, good poetry! Good poetry and good tea, today's trip is worth it, it's worth it!"

Qian Pengyang looked at the poem and read it twice in a row, quickly memorized it, and then recited it silently again, the more he read it, the more he felt that the poem was better.Master Mingjing just glanced at him quietly, sipped tea by himself, and said nothing.

After a while, Qian Pengyang seemed to calm down.He returned the plain paper to Master Mingjing, took another sip of tea, and felt the fragrance lingering in his mouth, and he couldn't help sighing again: "It turns out that nothing is added to the tea, but it is more refreshing, which shows the original taste of tea and makes you feel refreshed." People have endless aftertaste! By the way, the master specially invited me here to taste tea?"

Master Mingjing has a round face and a pair of small eyes. He usually smiles and looks very kind, but after listening to Qian Pengyang's words, he suddenly put down the teacup and asked seriously: "A few days ago? The horoscope sent by Mrs. Ri belongs to the second young master? Has the marriage been settled? I wonder how the woman is related to the adults?"

Qian Pengyang couldn't help but feel heavy when he saw Master Mingjing's cautious appearance.

"Why? What's so bad about that horoscope?"

Master Mingjing frowned and shook his head, and said with some doubts: "Judging from the horoscope, this girl was destined to die young, and she should not live until now, so I can't figure it out."

"Ah?" Qian Pengyang was shocked, that girl died young? "But, I think that girl is in good health and smart..."

Master Mingjing nodded and said: "This is where the old man's doubts come from, so I want to ask clearly, which girl is this? Is there someone who helped her change her fate?"
