"Bachelor Li has admired the name for a long time, and has admired the name for a long time, thank you for the face of the student, take a seat quickly, take a seat quickly." Since he invited him here, if he talks about what Li Yifu is like now, and what will he become in the future, at least Helan Minzhi doesn't have any other better choice now. In other words, he didn't want to choose anyone else at all.

Therefore, he must be polite to him, and no matter what his character is, at least there is no problem with courage, knowledge, or ability. Now facing such a behemoth as Eldest Sun Wuji, he can't help it.

hurriedly stepped forward and walked two steps to Li Yifu's side, although Helan Minzhi's development was quite early, and his height did not look low. But Li Yifu is definitely a standard beautiful man, this height is at least a head taller than Helan Minzhi, and there is still a sense of oppression standing in front of him.

"Helan Dalang? I've admired the name for a long time. "Li Yifu doesn't trust him, and he has nothing to trust at this time. He arched his hand with that gentle smile on his face.

The bachelor laughed, laughed. You are a famous man, the boy is just an apprentice who has just been enlightened, how can you dare to be called the slightest reputation? Saying this, he took Li Yifu and sat on the guest seat.

"Hahaha, this sedan chair is all the rage in Chang'an City now. Who doesn't know that it was your Helan Dalang's clever hand? This filial piety alone makes me admire. ”

In order to prevent it from being said to be studying strange and obscene skills, the sedan chair was said to be developed by Helan Minzhi as early as when it was first sold, and he saw that Mrs. Yang was old, and it was really unbearable to ride back and forth in a carriage, so he tried his best to make his grandmother more comfortable.

However, the spread is not too widespread, even if they buy a sedan chair, most of them don't know this story, and today Li Yifu is actually clear. Helan Minzhi was a little embarrassed by a young man, and said with a slightly shy smile: "It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning." Then he waved his hand to Ah San outside: "Tell the waiter to serve the food, don't use wine, serve a good pot of tea." ”

Ah San arched his hand and said that he was going down quickly.

"Minzhi is really young, and his mother told him not to drink, and asked the bachelor to forgive me."

"Ah, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I'm not good about what is in this cup, the wine is too misleading, the wine is too misleading. Li Yifu said with a pun: "This tea is good, the tea is quiet and elegant." I just didn't know that Da Lang still had such a hobby. ”

"My mother doesn't let me drink alcohol, but this tea is not very restrictive. After all, it tastes better than white water. I often go to Master Xuanzang to listen to the teachings, and the master has a deep study of this tea ceremony, which brings me to like this mouthful. Helan Toshiyuki also responded with a smile.

Taking advantage of this topic, the atmosphere in which the two of them talked about Xuan in a row did not seem so awkward. Helan Minzhi also invited others for the first time, and it was a separate banquet. I was still afraid that the atmosphere would be a little awkward. It was too smart to take over Li Yifu, as soon as he entered the door, he could see Helan Minzhi's youthfulness, and he also knew that he would definitely not attend this kind of banquet in the officialdom for a long time. Although he has not been invited to many banquets himself, after all, he has followed Shangguan so many times, and he also knows how to speak so that people will look a little embarrassed. casually took advantage of Helan Minzhi's mention of Master Xuanzang, and deliberately turned the topic to the likes of Buddhism.

Although he didn't particularly like it, the literati of this era always had to communicate with this monk and Taoist priest. Moreover, with the easing of the relationship between Confucianism and Buddhism and Taoism, many literati in the Tang Dynasty, especially in the Shengtang Dynasty, already have the temperament of Buddhism and Taoism. Even though there is no so-called integration of the three religions, there are many trends in this direction. Therefore, Li Yifu knows a lot about the things between Buddhism and Taoism. As for Helan Minzhi, he was interested in Xuanzhi and Xuanzang, and he was taken by Master Xuanzang to learn a lot, and now the two have a common topic.

Though... Both of them knew that this was not the point of chatting, nor was it the purpose of coming today, but the conversation was relatively harmonious.

It wasn't long before a leading waiter arrived with sixteen maids. Each of the sixteen maids carried a plate of dishes in his hand, and the leader carried a pot of tea.

I don't know what the taste of Li Yifu is, but there is absolutely no problem with the dishes of Sijizhai. Among these sixteen dishes, there are meat and vegetarian, bright colors, and good placement.

"The little one will add tea to the two of you." After the waiter bowed his head and added tea to Helan Minzhi and Li Yifu respectively, he bowed down. According to the ordinary restaurant, the waiter is left to serve, but this Shijizhai may be to let the guests enjoy this kind of private treatment, most of the waiters have served food, added a glass of wine as a courtesy, and then quickly left. Today, it's just a matter of replacing wine with tea.

"But you think this tea is too bitter without flavoring?" Seeing that Li Yifu looked for things without pepper, orange peel, salt and other seasonings with his eyes, he was a little surprised, and Helan Minzhi asked.

"Officially. Although I don't have the habit of drinking tea on weekdays, I also know that this tea should have spices to enhance the flavor, otherwise the earthy smell will be too strong. Seeing that his mind was actually seen by the young man in front of him, Li Yifu was a little embarrassed.

"Don't hesitate to try this tea. In the next home and the four seasons of Zhai have some business dealings, some of the dishes on the Zhuangzi are supplied here, so I am also familiar with the big shopkeeper, today's tea for the bachelor is the tea I brought myself, the taste is not earthy, not bitter, you will know as soon as you taste it. Saying that, Helan Minzhi picked up the teacup in front of him, wrapped it around his nose, sniffed it, and then gently smacked it twice, looking like he was enjoying it.

This is a novelty, but I've never heard of it being possible to use your own things when eating out, and it's often considered disrespectful to this restaurant. But since there is that explanation before, it naturally doesn't matter. Li Yifu was still a little moved when he looked at this tea, after all, after so many years, let alone feasting himself so seriously, even if he didn't even invite himself by the way.

Gently took two sips of the tea in front of him, seemed to be still around the tip of his tongue, and tasted it in his mouth: "This tea is really good, not only does it not have the slightest earthy smell, but it has a faint aroma." The entrance is fresh, and it is really comfortable to drink, and it is better than the tea you drink on weekdays. Li Yifu did not hesitate to praise, this tea is really delicious.

"Does the scholar know where this tea comes from?"

"Could it be that Da Lang brought it from Master Xuanzang? I'm afraid that this kind of good tea can only come from this pure place of Buddhism. ”

"Hahaha, the bachelor is half right. This tea is indeed from Master Xuanzang, and it was given by an apprentice of Xianyun Yehe when the master returned from going to sea. But I didn't bring it from the master, I came from this palace. ”

When Helan Minzhi said that he was from the palace, Li Yifu's originally relaxed expression immediately converged, and the essence in his eyes instantly bloomed.
