Chapter 249 Tang Zhonglao Pills

The hot spring villa is located on Tangquan Mountain, forty miles away from the outskirts of Beijing. Tangquan Mountain is green and winding, with beautiful scenery. Because of nearly a hundred hot springs of all sizes in the mountains, the trees on the mountain are evergreen and the mountains are stacked, which makes His Highness Longwei County Prince who is admiring the mountain along the winding mountain road.

Walking four or five miles on the mountain, I saw a pavilion called "Welcome Guests". When I turned left after the pavilion, I suddenly realized that an ancient manor was hidden among the green cliffs. A plaque was hung on the gate of the manor, engraved with three ink-colored ancient seal characters "Wen Spring Palace".

The servants in the mansion had already been informed, and ran out in a mess, divided into two rows in front of the gate, kneeling to welcome the prince's car. The black-clad guard stepped forward and opened the middle gate, and the convoy drove straight into the other courtyard. Qin Lei looked out of the car window, but saw that the hot spring palace was large in scale and the courtyard was deep, with towering ancient trees and carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, which was indeed a great scenic spot on earth.

The carriage stopped in the inner courtyard. Xu Tian opened the car door and saw Ruolan standing under the carriage, waiting with a smile. Qin Lei smiled at her, jumped out of the carriage, and used one hand to habitually embrace Ruolan's willow waist. However, she avoided it lightly, smiled apologized to Qin Lei, and said softly: "The princess and sister Shi Yun are inside."

Qin Lei scratched his head and laughed, "I'm sorry, I'm used to the movements." He asked softly, "Yongfu isn't angry, right?" He was still worried about his quiet departure for two days.

Ruolan shook her head slightly and whispered: "The princess has always been depressed and has never asked her where she has been."

Ruolan's answer made Qin Lei feel like he was a failure, and he laughed dryly: "Is that so? Then I'll go and have a look."

At this time, Shi Yun also welcomed Qin Leifu and said softly: "Prince, please stay. Your Highness, the princess, just took medicine and went to bed, so it is inconvenient to disturb him." As he gave Qin Lei a look, Qin Lei nodded understandingly, then grabbed Ruolan's little hand, followed Shi Yun to the side hall to talk.

After entering the house, Shi Yun closed the door, took off Qin Lei's cloak, and gently cleaned the dust on his body with a broom. His movements were gentle and natural, just like a little wife who welcomed her husband's return.

Qin Lei smiled and looked at Shi Yun's every move, and said softly, "Thank you." Shi Yun shook her head slightly, smiled gently at Qin Lei, and then led him to sit by the table. He brewed a wolfberry tea with the right temperature for Qin Lei, and Shi Yun sat opposite him, looking at him with a smile.

Qin Lei picked up the teacup, took a few sips, and then put it down and said, "I have calmed down, you can say it." He was tired of traveling, but after he arrived at the place, Yongfu did not see him, and he was naturally anxious. At this time, he would inevitably speak and talk to him, and he had some misunderstandings. He used the poetic rhyme to relax his mood before he talked to him.

Taking advantage of Qin Lei's time to eat tea, Shi Yun also made a draft of her belly and said softly: "The princess is fifteen years old this year."

Qin Lei nodded and said softly: "No, my birthday just celebrated last month."

Shi Yun said 'um' and continued in a low voice: "Some things that were originally ignorant were explained by the poem that day, but His Royal Highness began to understand."

Qin Lei frowned slightly and didn't say anything. He just looked at Shi Yun quietly and listened to her, "But things are a bit cruel, so the princess couldn't accept it for a while." He sighed and said in a low voice: "The smarter the person is, the more he likes to be stubborn, let alone she is still a child."

Qin Lei closed his eyes and recalled the poem that Ruolan retold that day, "'joy and joy, secretly groping' means that there is some happiness in his heart that cannot be said, but the 'water moon, mirror flowers in the sky' hope is to become a bubble, and the 'carves of the water and moon fill the sea, throwing pearls and bullets of birds' no matter how hard it is, it is in vain. However, 'turning blindly, it becomes delayed' means that there will be something missed in vain because of this, 'The Tao is dark and the flowers are bright, but it is unexpected that it will be difficult to get it after all' will be happy. 'If you meet, if you meet, the moon sinks to the bottom of the sea, people are in dreams', and you meet someone you shouldn't meet, and you will escape in your dreams all your life."

Thanks to his amazing memory, he recalled the judgment word for word. After pondering for a moment, Qin Lei whispered: "Did she fall in love with someone? I remember she was asking about marriage."

Shi Yun's smooth forehead suddenly felt sweaty and nodded with difficulty, thinking, this man was really insensitive in some aspects. Just as he was about to say a few words to wake him up, he heard Qin Lei slamming the table, almost scaring her to death.

Qin Lei was shocked by Shi Yun and was embarrassed to apologize. Shi Yun held her heart and shook her head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "It's not important, please don't be excited, please don't be excited, do you have anything to say slowly?"

Qin Lei scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I'm just frustrated, let's vent it." He said, shaking his head and said, "I don't believe there is something I can't do?"

Shi Yun opened her mouth slightly and said softly: "Although the prince is amazing, no one can do this."

Qin Lei frowned and said angrily: "No, tell my sister who she likes. I'll catch him now. Even if she is a married man, I'll let him divorce his wife and marry him again!"

After hearing this, Shiyun wanted to laugh but couldn't. She said quietly: "The prince was thinking a little bit, and the princess didn't fall in love with others. She has been in poor health since childhood and has been living in seclusion for many years. How could she have ever contacted others?"

This was straightforward, and Qin Lei was not stupid. He understood the meaning in a blink of an eye. His eyes were as if they were like a copper bell, and he said in a lost voice: "This matter is not easy to joke about."

Seeing his at a loss, Shi Yun comforted her softly: "The princess is just a ignorant, specious, and confused family and friendship with that... for a while. We just need to guide us well. The princess is smart and elegant, and we will definitely be able to distinguish it. The prince doesn't need to be too anxious."

Qin Lei also felt that he was too fussy and said embarrassedly: "Indeed, the teenage kid knows what it is. I am afraid I can't even tell what family affection is or what that is. But I'm a little nervous."

Shiyun chuckled and said, "The prince is also concerned and confused."

The two of them smiled and regarded this matter as a matter of determination. They both said that it was just a little girl's puberty. Qin Lei said with a long sigh: "Although it's not a big deal, there is still a solution, and we can't hurt Yongfu." Qin Lei was so terrified about this little sister who fell from the sky. After thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "How about I move to the farm first, and you can relieve her. After waiting for a long time, her heart faded. I'm looking for a good man for her."

Shiyun thought for a while and said softly: "No matter what method the prince uses, he must first meet the princess, otherwise she will think more."

Qin Lei nodded, closed his eyes and recalled the past, and blamed himself: "I just thought she was a child. It was indeed a bit too intimate, but I never thought that the little girl would grow up so quickly. I am all blamed for not being blessed forever."

Shi Yun shook her head slightly and comforted her softly: "What's wrong with brother loving her sister? How can the prince give up because of choking?" As she said that, she looked at Qin Lei with her bright eyes as bright as the star of the night, she said shyly: "Every time I see the prince carefully making the princess happy, I am very... envious," she felt that this was too ambiguous, and quickly added: "I envy your brother-sister relationship."

Qin Lei's mood improved when he heard this, and he didn't want Shi Yun to worry. He smiled hurriedly: "Then you can be my sister too."

This was too shameless and too difficult to answer, but it was not difficult to defeat Bingxue's smart Shiyun. She saw that her little face turned slightly red, then she looked at Qin Lei with a smile, and said crisply: "Thank you for your kindness, please accept the third begging for your younger sister." As she said that, she was about to get up to salute Qin Lei.

If you really want to become a sworn brother and sister in the future? I want to be your husband, not your brother, Qin Lei begs for mercy quickly. Shi Yun didn't really want to be his sister. She went around with a few jokes and laughed. For a moment, the house was filled with joy.

Qin Lei felt a little hungry. Seeing that it was almost noon, he didn't want to bother the kitchen anymore, so he picked some fruits and candied fruits from the table to satisfy his hunger. When Shi Yun saw it, she grabbed the plate of snacks from him and smiled and said angrily: "I still eat these when I got home, but I told others that we would not serve others."

Qin Lei laughed and said, "It seems there is a surprise."

Shi Yun nodded and smiled, "I and Sister Ruolan have packed the prison pills in the morning. When we talk, it's time for her to get out of the pot." Before he finished speaking, a knock on the door sounded. After Qin Lei responded, Ruolan walked in with a food box and saluted Qin Lei first. When she was about to salutate Shi Yun, she grabbed her arms and held her affectionately to the table.

One of the two girls packed the fruit and snack plates on the table and put the food box on the table. When the lid was lifted, the steam of heat spread out. Ruolan quickly took out several dishes in the food box, but her fingers were still burned. As soon as she put down the plate, Ruolan hurriedly pinched her hands on her two small earlobes, and smiled at Qin Lei: "Your Majesty, eat while it's hot. This is what Sister Shiyun and I have packed for you together."

Qin Lei took the chopsticks handed over by Shi Yun, smiled and said, "It's good if someone hurts." When the heat dissipated, the three plates had round belly and pointed corners, and the half-moon-like "Tang Zhonglao Wan" appeared in front of him.

The so-called "Soup Zhonglao Pills", as the name suggests, is to wrap meatballs of meat or vegetables in dough and put them in soup, which is the dumplings later. Qin Lei naturally prefers this kind of food that has not changed for thousands of years. He stretches out his chopsticks and picks up a large one to his mouth, blows it hard, and bites it gently. The fresh and hot soup with the meat filling enters the mouth, and when he enters the stomach, he feels that the three and six million pores of his body are extremely comfortable.

Without even having to say anything, Qin Lei extended his thumb to express his approval to the two girls, and quickly picked up one thin skin, thick filling, delicious and delicious pentacle pills into his stomach. After a while, a plate of half a dumplings disappeared like a wind and clouds.

Qin Lei then burped comfortably, took the dumpling soup handed over by Ruolan, and asked himself while drinking it in a small sip, "What is life?"

Shiyun and Ruolan have been with him for a day or two, and they have long been familiar with his famous sayings. When they looked at each other, they smiled and said in a sweet voice: "This is life."

When Qin Lei heard this, his eyes were as bright as a crescent moon, and he patted his stomach and continued, "Life like a pig!" The two girls laughed.

Shiyun and Yun Shang no longer had trouble, so they took a plate of Qin Lei's uneasy food and ate it with his head facing him, even if they had put the lunch together.

While eating, the little girl Jinwen came in and reported softly: "The princess is awake." The three of them looked at each other. Qin Lei asked the two to continue eating, and stood up and said, "I'll go and see." Shi Yun gave him an encouraging look. Qin Lei smiled and accepted it, and followed Jinwen to Yongfu's bedroom.

Yongfu's bedroom is in the best attic in the manor, where it is noon. The room is full of warm and unburning sunshine in late autumn. The temperature is much higher than outside, making people feel comfortable to sleep, especially after a full meal, especially after a long period of silence.

Therefore, Qin Lei, who was sitting by the bed and accompanied Yongfu in a daze, nodded frequently after a while, as if he agreed with the girl's opinion. Yongfu originally felt bored and his face was full of resentment, but when he saw his elder brother's silly appearance, he couldn't help but smile. Unfortunately, Qin Lei was half asleep and half awake and had no chance to see the beautiful scenery of spring returning to the earth.

Then, Yongfu remembered that his elder brother was tired from his journey and had not had a good rest. When he heard that he was in a bad mood, he still wanted to comfort him quickly. Not only did he feel ashamed of his willfulness. When he thought of his chaotic thoughts, he couldn't help but feel worried. Looking at his handsome face in a daze, tears fell silently from his eyes.

The girls’ feelings are the most complicated. They can associate them from falling flowers to passing away, then to time, and then to the flowing water. Others will only think that they think of them from falling flowers to running water, but who knows that in their daughter’s heart, they have already turned many turns and shed countless tears.

Qin Lei opened his eyes as if he was aware of it, and saw his sister crying. He thought to himself, she must be in a bad mood and annoyed me to take a nap. He hurriedly picked up a scarf from the head of the bed and wanted to wipe her tears.

"Bad brother, that's a rag!" Yongfu said depressedly.

Qin Lei quickly withdrew his hand and scratched his head and said, "Is that so? Why are you putting it everywhere?" He looked at the embroidered scarf again, shook his head and said, "But it is cleaner than the eldest brother's handkerchief."

Seeing the funny look of the elder brother, Yongfu couldn't help but burst into laughter. Qin Lei said with a sigh of relief: It should have a child two years later, and it's so tiring to coax him.

After crying and laughing for a while, Yongfu vomited the piles of depression in his chest and said quietly: "Brother, I can't stay for a few days."

Qin Lei knew that the parting between his eyebrows could not be hidden from his beautiful and kind-hearted little sister. He laughed embarrassedly and explained: "Brother is also the main sect of our Zongzheng Mansion. It is indeed a bit busy at the critical moment when winter is approaching."

Yongfu nodded and smiled reluctantly, "Brother must be busy, don't care about my younger sister. With Sister Shiyun and Sister Ruolan accompanying me, my younger sister will not be bored."

Qin Lei would coax Yongfu, who was angry, but would not coax his really sad sister. He could only sit while scratching his head. In the afternoon, the sun shone into the room, and many small dust that was visible were driven by Qin Lei's violent movements, adding a lot of chaos to the room.

After a long time, Yongfu, who was leaning against the edge of the bed like a clay sculpture, suddenly sighed softly: "It's really troublesome to live..."

Qin Lei frowned again when he heard this. Huo De stood up and sat beside Yongfu's bed, looking straight at his sister's big dull eyes. When she focused her eyes on his eyes, Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "Good sister, do you know? Life is not only annoying, but also very hard, very tired, helpless, very sad, very depressed, very shameful, very sad..."

Feeling that her tone was too heavy, she sighed and said softly: "Think about our grandmother, Empress Dowager Wenzhuang, who lost her father at the age of nine, lost her mother at the age of eleven, entered the palace to serve the late emperor at the age of thirteen, lost her son at the age of 27, died at the age of 58, and then lost two sons, leaving only the father and emperor. The entire royal family was in turmoil, and even the Qin Dynasty could be destroyed at any time. She must have been sad and depressed, but she said that living was really annoying? No! She accepted the injustice and torture given by God, and for her own goals, or ideals, she went all out to fight. This is why you and me are today, and this trip to the hot spring palace." The eyes of Yongfu Lake finally shone with light, and obviously she listened. It is necessary to admit that Qin Lei's ability to make excuses was indeed perfect.

Qin Lei was happy, and he tried harder, and raised his voice and said, "I dare say that if you don't think your illness can be cured and you have a future, you will definitely not be like this. You will enjoy every day and be grateful for every day, and will not be bound by any troubles." Yongfu's body was as if struck by lightning. After trembling slightly, he finally nodded slowly, and tears fell down again.

Qin Lei gently held Yongfu into his arms and whispered in her ear: "Little sister, you are only fifteen years old, and the beautiful voice has just begun. You don't even know what life is. How can you deny it casually at this time? Promise me, live well, live meaningfully, and wait until you understand what life is, and then give an attribution to it, okay?"
