The ground is covered with pebbles, and the water on the rocks flows down and flows through the waterways, causing the deer on the shore to be surprised and knocking on the water surface, plus the bamboo bushes beside the water, a quiet and lively courtyard The landscape, to the common people, is like a fairyland.
After Maitreya handed over his knife and cane, he walked through the corridor with his servant lightly, and came to the floor by the water. There was sitting an old bald monk in a sack bag and a young man in a blue scaly kimono next to him. The tea vessel is making tea under the eaves.
The servant bowed to the old monk who was sitting cross-legged, and then retreated to the side, kneeling down and listening, while Maitreya looked at the situation, bowed slightly to the old monk, and tentatively asked:
"Master Nagazuna?"
"Oh, the guest is here!" The old monk seemed to be in a trance. Hearing the voice, he suddenly regained his senses. He turned his head and revealed a kind old face with a smile in his eyes.
"In Xia Zi Mi, I have seen Master Chang Gang, but I don't know what Master Chang Gang wants to see next. What's the important thing?" Maitreya gave the old monk a little bit of his jaw, and then knelt down behind him, in front of the servant, like a guest.
"In autumn, the tea is good..." The old monk Hojo Nagazuna did not reply, but turned to greet the man in blue clothes next to him. As soon as the words fell, he heard a scream. The handsome and gentle man accidentally beat the tea cup. flipped.
"Sorry, Lord Nagazuna." The man named Qiushi grabbed the bamboo spoon and hurriedly helped the tea cup up, while crying and pleading guilty.
"Oh, you've been like this since you were a child. It's too bad manners. It's too rude to let guests watch jokes." Hojo Nagazuna taught Qiushi, and at the same time turned his gaze to Maitreya.
"It's normal for people to lose their hands and horses to lose their feet. This is normal. As long as there are no accidents during major events, it's nothing ridiculous." Maitreya put his palms on the base of his legs in a serious manner, but it was a bit of guidance. However, he is not afraid to run into others, because he has no intention of official career, so he does not need to kneel and lick the Hojo family.
"Oh, these words are all the same!" Hojo Nagazuna's eyes opened slightly, and his expression was astonished.
"Where is the truth, there are eight points in the world. These nine points are in the words, and the remaining one is in people's hearts." Maitreya smiled, making the man named Qiushi next to him stretch out his finger, a little bit confused. , There is a bit of room for truth in this world.
"Tea soup!" Maitreya could not help but reminded him when he looked at the autumn time when he was breaking his fingers. It was only then that he woke up suddenly in autumn time.
After finishing things in a panic, Qiushi's complexion was also broken, because the process was all messed up, the taste of tea was gone, and the artistic conception was destroyed.
"Don't you serve the guests with tea?" Hojo Nagazuna recovered from the words, and did not realize what it meant. He looked at Maitreya, and then reminded him.
"But, yes..." Qiushi originally didn't want to serve this failed tea, but when he saw Hojo Nagazuna, he could only lower his head and send the tea cup to Maitreya.
In the face of the tea that was delivered in front of him, Maitreya was not wordy. He held it up and rubbed the edge of the next cup, drank a little, and felt the bitter taste. Then he pulled the paper prepared next to him and held the tea cup, facing the cup. The bitter face in autumn is slightly jaw-dropping:
"It's delicious."
"Really?" The man named Qiushi raised his head, his eyes full of expressions of "Don't lie to me".
"The pleasure of drinking tea, but friends of the meeting, taste the taste and appreciate the scenery, what do you think of Lord Chang Gang?" Maitreya smiled and nodded. He is not the kind of tea ceremony.
"Exactly!" Hojo Nagazuna nodded with a smile, and the man named Qiushi was immediately inspired.
"Then Lord Changgang would like to drink it?" Maitreya asked with a smile, and Qiushi also cast a hopeful look, but the old monk couldn't help it.
"That's not it..." Hojo Nagazuna repeatedly declined, he didn't drink the overcooked tea soup.
"That's really a pity, it can only be enjoyed exclusively in the next." Seeing Hojo Nagazuna's refusal, Maitreya couldn't help laughing, holding the cup and taking another sip, feeling quite quenching his thirst, and regardless of etiquette, he pushed the cup to add tea in autumn and at the same time Look at Hojo Nagazuna.
"Master Nagazuna, you called me today, not just to invite me to drink tea!"
"I just want to get to know you, the boy Shixin, who said he knew a great guy?" Hojo Nagazuna returned to his smile.
"Master Shixin is absurd. I'm just a somewhat crazy traveler." Maitreya shook his head and humbled himself.
"Everyone from Ningguo, Tang Yin, has a poem, saying that the world laughs at me too crazy, I laugh at others and can't see through it. Xingzhe has this three-point charm." Hojo Nagazuna laughed.
"I don't understand such things as poems and songs. I have a headache when I see them." Maitreya took the opportunity to drink tea and curled his lips secretly. This old man was called the "No. Liange, what do you do when you are looking for someone who is not well-known and who is not good at book music
"Actually, I called Xingzhe here today. I mainly want to ask Xingzhe. Do you know a mage named Mibao." Hojo Nagazuna felt Maitreya's impatience, and was not upset. On the contrary, it felt normal, young man. It's all like this.
"Master Chang Gang knows my grandfather?" Maitreya put down the tea cup and was a little stunned. Mi Bao was his grandfather. Compared with the mediocre and mediocre, early death Mi Fang, this grandfather seemed to be a strong man back then, and Master Mengxin was also A lot of praise, in my own memory, the other party seems to be quite powerful in the plot, but I don't know where the power is.
"Oh, it turned out to be the descendant of Lord Mibao. That's really rude. May I ask if the wind cave curse in your house has been cured!" Hojo Nagazuna's expression was surprised, and he cast his gaze on the palm of his right hand.
"Not yet, Zai Xia is pursuing the Four Soul Jade and Naraku's traces, trying to destroy him. I don't know who is Lord Changzhang and his family ancestor?" Maitreya was a little surprised, and pointed out his family's affairs. This should be an acquaintance, don't he. Enemy!
"Master Mibao was a great help to our Hojo family back then! That said, it was my father's time." Hojo Nagazuna knew Maitreya's identity, and his attitude became correct.
Fortunately, he was not an enemy. After hearing the words, Maitreya sighed slightly, but then became curious again. Hojo Nagazuna's generation is very high. His father is not Hojo Soun, the first generation of the Hojo family. I don't know the old man and this. Hojo Soun, what kind of relationship did he catch up with? What story happened!
Perhaps he saw Maitreya’s doubts, and Hojo Nagazuna didn’t hide it much, so he told the matter directly. It had to be talked about by Hojo Soun, the ancestor of the Hojo family, who was also called Ise Naga.
Although the Ise Choshi was a close member of the general in his early years, but because of the position of the heir to the general, the war broke out in Kyoto and the central authority fell. His position has also declined since then, and he has lived in the Kanto area and served as a guest samurai in the Suruga Imagawa family. .
