The end of Si Shi
The gray-haired Sun Simao, led by Xia Zhu, came to the backyard of the Qin Mansion.
Also coming with him was Dean Li.
After Qin Mingchao greeted everyone, he first said to Li Chun:
"Dean Li, please go to the study and wait for me for a while. I will take Dean Sun to the backyard to check on the old man."
"Yes, sir."
Then Qin Ming took Daozhang Sun and his party into Li Yuan's courtyard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Qin Ming heard Li Yuan's hearty laughter, which was also mixed with the collision of mahjong.
Qin Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly, smiled awkwardly at Dean Sun, and then took the lead in entering the door.
After entering the door, Qin Ming immediately saw Li Yuan and Madam Zhang surrounding the mahjong table.
He quickly walked a few steps towards Li Yuan, saluted respectfully and said:
"grandfather."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan turned around and waved to Qin Ming:
"Grandson, come here quickly and see if your grandfather's cards are powerful."
Qin Ming cast an apologetic look at Sun Simiao, then leaned into Li Yuan's ear and whispered:
"Grandpa, your cards are really good, but my grandson asked an old god to come over and take your pulse. How about you close the cards first and play again later?"
Li Yuan waved his hand when he heard this and said nonchalantly:
"I'm in good health, so there's no need to look at me! Besides, I'm accompanied by a doctor. I just need him to check my pulse."
Qin Ming heard this and advised:
"Grandpa, just listen to your grandson and let Master Sun show you."
Li Yuan waved his hand again and reiterated his thoughts again.
Just when Qin Ming wanted to persuade him again, Taoist Sun behind him smiled and patted Qin Ming on the shoulder and said:
"Chief, let the old man do it."
After hearing this, Qin Ming thought for a while, then moved back and gave up his position.
Sun Simiao smiled and put the fly whisk on his left arm, then walked to the side of Li Yuan, bowed to the sitting Li Yuan and said:
"Old Taoist Sun Simiao has met Mr. Li."
After hearing this, Li Yuan dropped the card in his hand to the ground with a clatter, and then turned around little by little like a robot.
Only then did Sun Simiao see Li Yuan's appearance clearly, and he was shocked.
[Didn’t Qin Ming say he was treating his grandfather? When did his grandfather become the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan? 】
........
Li Yuan took advantage of Sun Simiao's distraction to come back to his senses. He stood up and deliberately turned his back to Qin and Ming.
Li Yuan grabbed Sun Simao's arm, winked and said:
"It turns out that Master Miaoying is here, and I, the Li family of Longxi, and Li Tan are not welcome from afar!"
Sun Simiao was also a mature man, and he immediately understood what Li Yuan meant.
The corner of his mouth twitched, and then he said bravely:
"It turns out to be Patriarch Li!"
Qin Ming, who was behind Li Yuan, heard this and said with some surprise:
"Dean Sun, do you know my grandfather?"
Li Yuan turned around and said melancholy:
"I met Miao Ying a few years ago. At that time, I was still the head of the Longxi branch. Hey, I didn't expect that in just a few years, I had stepped down from the position of head of the family and became a widowed old man who no one cares about! Hey! .”
Qin Ming rolled his eyes when he heard this and thought to himself
[You are always really good at being careless. Is there a widowed old man like you in the world who can fight against three people? 】
Although he complained in his heart, Qin Ming was still very worried about the old man's physical condition, so he struck while the iron was hot:
"In that case, wouldn't it be better? I think my grandfather also knows that Master Sun has great medical skills, so why not let him take your pulse?"
If it were anyone else, Li Yuan would really look down on him, but it was different with Master Miao Ying.
Just because Master Miaoying is more than twenty years older than him, Li Yuan, yet younger than him.
Li Yuan wished he could have Taoist Sun check his pulse every day.
As soon as Qin Ming finished speaking, Li Yuan grabbed Sun Simiao's arm and said with a smile:
"Then there is Taoist Master Lao Sun."
Sun Simiao nodded slightly, then pointed to the chair on one side and said:
"Then let's go over there."
After a while
Sun Simiao smiled and stretched out two fingers and gently placed them on Li Yuan's wrist.
But after a while, Sun Simiao's face began to look serious.
This scene fell in the eyes of Qin Ming and others, and their hearts tightened. Even Li Yuan, who was originally smiling, couldn't help but restrain his smile.
After a while, Sun Simiao finally released his fingers from Li Yuan's wrist.
Qin Ming felt that his heart was about to jump into his throat. He grabbed Sun Simiao's arm and said eagerly:
"Dean Sun, how is my grandfather doing?"
Sun Simiao smiled and said to Qin Ming:
"Mr. Li's body is still strong and there is no serious problem. The old man will prescribe a prescription and just adjust it a little."
Qin Ming couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard this.
"Hey, it's fine if nothing happens, it's fine if nothing happens."
After speaking, Qin Ming said to Xia Zhu:
"Xia Zhu, hurry up and prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones."
"Yes, slave, go right away."
Not long after Xia Zhu went out, Qin Dafei walked in hurriedly. He first saluted Li Yuan and others, and then said to Qin Ming:
"Sir, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Yue, and Minister Duan of the Ministry of Industry have arrived. Son Shu has already led them to the front hall."
Qin Ming nodded when he heard this, then saluted Li Yuan and said:
"Grandpa, there is something in the front yard that needs to be dealt with by my grandson. Please forgive me."
Although Li Yuan is old, his ears are very good, and Qin Da's voice is very loud, so he can't stop listening even if he wants to.
Knowing that the two imperial grandsons and Duan Lun were coming, Li Yuan did not show any nervousness at all. He waved his hand towards Qin Ming and said:
"Brother Ming, go and do your work. In a moment, ask Wan'er to make some delicious dishes and bring them to me. I haven't seen Daoist Master Sun for many years, so I just want to take this opportunity to catch up on old times."
Qin Ming nodded when he heard this, and then said to Sun Simiao:
"Dean Laosun, you are so troublesome. Just prescribe whatever medicinal materials you need. If you don't have them at home, I will order someone to go to Chang'an City to buy them."
Sun Simiao smiled and nodded when he heard this:
"Well, don't worry, Chief Shan. The old Taoist knows the importance."
After hearing this, Qin Ming saluted the two of them again, and then led Qin Da out of the room.
After Qin Ming left, Li Yuan said to Zhang Meiniang and others in the room:
"You guys go back to your house first, while I and Master Miaoying catch up on old times."
"promise."
After saying this, Zhang Meiniang took Chunhua and Qiushi out of the room. The old eunuch who was guarding the door waited for a few people to go out, and then stood guard at the door alone.
Sun Simiao stood up and saluted Li Yuan and said:
"The poor Taoist Sun Simiao pays homage to the saint. May the saint be safe."
Li Yuan stood up and helped Sun Simiao up with a smile, and the two sat down again.
After a few words of greeting, Li Yuan asked abruptly:
"Master, tell me the truth, am I running out of time?"
