  Master Neng stroked his beard, neither confirming nor denying Ye Zhuo's comments, and threw out another question: "People often think that the fragrance of Tieguanyin is better when it's stronger, to the point where it's overpowering. What do you think?"

  Ye Zhuo smiled slightly. Master Neng Ren didn't praise her, but asking such a professional question was a kind of affirmation of her previous comment. She calmly poured herself a cup of tea and drank it slowly before saying that this was actually a misunderstanding. The characteristic of Tieguanyin is not its high-flying fragrance, we usually say that Tieguanyin has orchid fragrance, but what it means is that its fragrance has the same characteristics as orchids, which are elegant, rich, and lasting, rather than being overbearing and showy. Of course, this doesn't mean that low fragrance is better, but rather that it should be clearly perceptible yet subtle, with a rich and penetrating quality.

  Hearing this, Du Haoran's eyes became even brighter.

  "Good, good, excellent!" Master Nengren clapped his hands and laughed loudly, then shouted to the monk brewing tea beside him, "Change to new tea leaves and brew a fresh pot of tea."

  "After three rounds of tea, Master Nengren and Du Haoran were playing chess, while Old Na watched from the side."

  Du Haoran didn't decline either and sat beside the chessboard, making a gesture towards Ye Zhuo. "Miss Ye, please."

  Ye Zhuo smiled and nodded, sitting down in front of the chessboard. Du Haoran was straightforward and grabbed a handful of white pieces, letting Ye Zhuo guess first. As Ye Zhuo showed two black pieces on his palm, although his hand was slender and long, it didn't look like an ordinary girl's hand, not only was the skin rough, but there were also some scars on it. He suddenly raised his head in surprise, looking at Ye Zhuo. The first time he saw Ye Zhuo, she was still pale and delicate, smooth and shiny. What had happened to her during this period?

  Master Neng Ren furrowed his brow. The last time Ye Zhuo came to play chess, he noticed that her hands were slightly rougher than those of ordinary girls. He thought she was having a hard time at home and had to do a lot of manual labor. But this wasn't something an old monk like him could point out, so he pretended not to see it to avoid embarrassing Ye Zhuo. However, now, just ten days later, her hands looked even worse. The scars on them looked as if they had been cut by a knife, shocking to behold. He couldn't help but say, "Miss Ye, your hands..."

  As soon as Du Haoran noticed her hand, Ye Zhuo quickly withdrew it, looking a bit embarrassed. No matter how calm she was, as someone from her past life who valued refinement, showing off such rough hands in front of people made her feel uneasy. Hearing Abbot Ren's inquiry, she hastily explained that she was just being careless and had accidentally injured her hand while trying to learn woodcarving with her grandfather, but it was nothing serious.

  "Are you also learning jade carving?" Du Haoran, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

  "Yes." Ye Zhuo smiled slightly. As Ye Yu had instructed, now should be the best time to speak up, but she really didn't want to. If Du Haoran was Nie Zhongkun's disciple, she might still ask him for guidance and show off her skills in front of him, which would also give her an indirect opportunity. But Du Haoran's identity was very special, he had abilities that made even Nie Zhongkun not dare to ignore him, but asking him to speak up for a stranger to request Nie Zhongkun... it seemed unlikely he would be willing to do so. People like him, without a net, should have a transcendent status, above the Southern and Northern factions, perhaps even related to the emperor and politics. If Nie Zhongkun had a request of him in the future, would he help or not?

  Du Haoran nodded and directly picked up the black chess piece, placing it on the board. Since he had guessed correctly earlier, he won the right to make the first move.

  Ye Zhuo picked up the white chess piece and concentrated on making his move.

  Watching chess is like watching people, this statement is not false. Du Haoran's chess style is completely different from Master Nengren. Master Nengren is a monk, naturally calm and composed, when playing chess he only pays attention to the layout and defense, his demeanor is transcendent, not caring about temporary gains or losses; whereas Du Haoran emphasizes offense more, starting from the 20th move, he begins to attack, using offense as defense, his attacking momentum is fierce, making Ye Zhuo somewhat flustered at first, unable to settle down. However, fortunately her chess skills are excellent, her style is steady and stable, after a dozen or so moves she stabilized the situation, adopting the strategy of "surrounding Wei to rescue Zhao", firmly suppressing Du Haoran's offensive momentum.

  Half a time later, the game ended, and Ye Zhuo still won by half a point as before.

  "Yè Gūniáng's chess style reminds me of someone. ()" Dù Hàorán gazed at Yè Zhuó, his eyes carrying a hint of contemplation.

  "Oh?" Ye Zhuo raised her eyes, "I don't know who it is."

  Qin Ruotong.

  With a "crack", Ye Zhuo's chess box fell to the ground, and the white pieces inside scattered all over the floor.

  "Yehu Niang, what's wrong?" Master Neng Ren asked hastily as he saw Ye Zhuo's face suddenly turn pale and her body slightly trembling.

  "It's okay, I'm fine." Ye Zhuo Qiang smiled slightly and got up to squat on the ground, wanting to pick up the chess pieces. But those chess pieces were scattered even more by her.

  "Here I come." Du Haoran squatted opposite, calling Misa to bring a wooden basin, and picked up the chess pieces one by one into the basin. These chess pieces had fallen on the ground and got dirty, so they needed to be washed and dried before use.

  She took a deep breath to calm the turmoil in her heart, raised her head and asked Du, "Do you know Qin?" Calling Qin Ruo Tong as Qin was a move to cover up her embarrassment, also to conceal her previous loss of composure. Qin Ruo Tong had passed away. Before she died, she left the capital city for several years and worked in various places. It was normal that she knew this five-year-old girl. Hearing others mention someone who had passed away, she lost her composure a little, which was also normal.

  "I don't know." Du Haoran gazed at her with his dark, ink-like starry eyes. "I only met her once in a public match when I was 15 years old. After that, I've been wanting to find an opportunity to play chess with her again. Unfortunately, she got married soon after, and..." He didn't continue.

  Ye Zhuo nodded. In her previous life, she liked the excitement and enjoyed participating in various Go tournaments. It was also at a tournament that she met him, when he had just been appointed as the county magistrate after being awarded the title of "Flower Official". He was handsome and elegant, with impressive chess skills. So she decided he was the one for her, ignoring her family's objections and insisting on marrying him. After their wedding, she faded out of the social scene in the capital city and accompanied him to his new post elsewhere. This Du Haoran was the same age as her, if he were a person from the capital city, he would have seen her play publicly at the tournament before, it wouldn't be strange for him to recognize her now. But, did she really have such a unique chess style that after five years, he could still recognize her at a glance?

  Dai Du Hao Ran picked up the chess pieces one by one, and Ye Zhuo Ping calmed down a bit before going over to help.

  Master Neng Ren sat cross-legged on the ground, and the eyes of the two people who were not far apart from him, which usually seemed a bit dull, became extremely bright.

  The chess pieces have all been played, and just hearing the name of her past life, she met someone who had heard of it before. Ye Zhuo's heart couldn't calm down. She picked up the last chess piece into the wooden basin, then bowed and said: "My grandfather is not feeling well, yesterday I bought a new workshop, there are many things to worry about, and at home there is no father or brother who can help, so I won't stay long, this is goodbye."

  Master Nengren waved his hand and said kindly: "Go now, come back and play chess with Lao Na when you're free."

  "Yes." Ye Zhuo bowed again and was about to turn around and leave.

  "Yè Niángzi," Du Haoran suddenly spoke up.

  Ye Chou stopped in his tracks and turned around.

  "In a pitch-black room, burn incense. If you can hit three times out of ten knives, it will be extremely beneficial to your carving." Du Haoran said.

  Ye Zhuo gazed at Du Haoran, slightly bowing his head in gratitude. "Thank you for your guidance, I will work hard." Seeing Du Haoran nod slightly, without another word, he turned and left.

  As I walked into the house, Ye Yuxi was just entering the door, with a look of excitement on his face. He said that when we were transferring the deed to the workshop, Gong Shubao had tried to make things difficult for me, but unexpectedly, Du had guaranteed the contract, and he was so scared that his face turned pale, and he kept bowing and apologizing to me. Haha, it was really too satisfying!

  "Don't talk rudely in front of Tuo Er," Guan Shi scolded.

  "Good, good, no, no." Ye Yuxi repeatedly responded.

  "How's the adoption of Yu'er going?" This was the thing that Guan Shi cared about most. The more she interacted with him, the more she liked Ye Zhuo. Now if anyone were to let Ye Zhuo go back to the second house again, she would fight them to the death.

  Zhao also pricked up his ears and stared at Ye Yiqi.

  "Do you still want it? Originally, it was the vicious woman of the Gong family who forced Zhuo'er to leave the second house. I went to do the procedures, and there is also an unlucky word that cannot be jumped."

  "She's quite right, this is the life I want." Yezhu said with a smile of satisfaction. Back home, she was asked about her well-being by Guan and Zhao, and her mood had already improved greatly.

  "Haha, no way, I really have to thank her." Ye Yuqi burst out laughing.

  Guan's family was shocked, and she wished to cover the mouths of Ye Zhuo and Ye Yuqi. "This matter cannot be casually discussed, if that vicious woman finds out, who knows what other evil things will happen."

  "Hey, okay, no problem." Ye Yuxi sat down and turned to Ye Zhuo, "Zhuo'er, just now when I went there, Old Man Zhou recommended Master Huang and your two cousins to me. They used to work at Ruyi Fang, but now that I've taken over the workshop, I also want to invite Master Yuqiao. Keeping them is actually quite suitable, so I won't have to go find another jade carver again. What do you think?"

  Guan and Zhao are not comparable, they are completely different from Ye Zhuo. After what happened yesterday, Ye Yuqi has already considered Ye Zhuo as one of the pillars of the family, so whenever there's something to discuss, he will consult with her. In the future, when Ye Zhuo gets married and brings in a son-in-law, this household will still have to rely on her to hold it up.

  "Huang Shifu is not bad, but my two cousins are still quite good. If you think it's okay, keep them." Ye Zhuo actually didn't want to hire relatives to do things. After all, there was a face to consider, and if problems arose, it wouldn't be easy to handle. But the Zheng family was indeed hardworking and honest, and knowing their roots, using them would also make Liu's family have some scruples, which would be a win-win situation.
