Chapter 68: Did I Drink an Antique?

“In traditional Chinese medicine, observing, listening, inquiring, and feeling the pulse are enough to determine someone’s health,” Song Mian nodded .

At Song Mian’s level, a glance at a person’s face was enough to determine their health . Compared to Western medicine who only looked at data, traditional Chinese medicine was more detailed . However, reaching that level was difficult .

“I’ll have Song Qian get you some medicinal soup . Take it according to schedule after you go back . ”

“Is there any problem with me?” Yun Xiangxiang got nervous immediately .

You have Gonghan [1], but it’s not serious . You still need to recuperate though . ” Song Mian answered .

Women in this era would more or less have Gonghan . There was just too much great food that was cold in nature . Those that could resist the temptation simply weren’t human .

Yun Xiangxiang even fell into a pond when she was little . Every time the time of the month came, her lower abdomen bloated even if it did not hurt . She would be listless for a few days . She had already wanted to search for a cure from a doctor that practised Chinese medicine . She didn’t expect to have a miracle working doctor to make her prescriptions .

“Thank you,” Yun Xiangxiang wouldn’t reject it .

The eyes of the girl before him curled into the shape of the moon in a chilly night, dispelling the darkness with its blinding light .

Song Mian’s mood became better for no apparent reason . It was as if whatever he did was worth it as long as she could be happy and smiled .

“I hear that you like to drink tea?” Song Mian brought Yun Xiangxiang to the tea room . The tea room was filled with a variety of tea cubes . The fragrance of tea was palpable once they stepped into the room . Song Mian took a cube and started boiling it .

Yun Xiangxiang was perplexed . When did the rumour that she liked tea spread? However, she didn’t blurt it out when she saw Song Mian’s actions .

Fresh aqua boiled by the vermilion blaze; verdant fragrance beckoned by its grace .

Emerald surfaced in the twirling wisp; into the windowsill the melting warmth seeped .

Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t someone who liked to be poetic . That was because it was too hard to find poetic stuff in modern society .

She had always been someone who went with the flow . She wouldn’t beg for things that were hard to get . She believed that happiness lay in contentment .

However, Song Meng’s every action today was utterly picturesque . Even so, he did not feel distant .

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t feel bored even if all she did was look at him quietly .

Under the twirl of the fragrant tendrils of mist, the man’s face started becoming misty . The aesthetic blurriness engrossed those who saw it .

“Have a taste . How does it compare to Darjeeling tea?” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t regain her wits until a cup of tea was sitting in front of her .

Yun Xiangxiang smiled abashedly . She lifted the tea up to her nose and took a whiff, “It’s so fragrant!”

The tea had a rich fragrance . There was a hint of bamboo, orchid, sandalwood, and earthy clay in it, making it as fresh and clean as nature . It was refreshing just like the autumn moon with fragrance predominant to the orchid field .

The taste of the tea lingered within her mouth and mellowed out slowly . It caused her to indulge in it .

Old Man Min’s Darjeeling made people feel refreshed; this tea made people feel light both in body and mind .

“Have some more if you like it . It’s good for your body . ” Song Mian poured another cup for Yun Xiangxiang .

“Is this herbal tea?” Yun Xiangxiang knew nothing about tea . However, this tea’s fragrance was one of a kind . It didn’t feel like it was emitted from the tea . On top of that, Song Mian said that it would benefit the body .

“This tea can clear the heart and mind . It can work up your appetite, heal your spleen, sooth your throat and make it easier to swallow . If you drink it regularly, it can also facilitate the metabolism, lower your blood lipids, regulate and suppress cholesterol levels . Also, it can freshen you up and make you sober,” Song Mian explained to Yun Xiangxiang, “It’s not a medicinal tea for prescription . ”

“Then what kind of tea is this? It’s so magical,” Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t help but to feel curious .

“Golden melon . ” Song Mian answered .

*Cough!* Yun Xiangxiang almost spewed the tea she drank . However, she then thought about how expensive this tea was before forcibly gulping it down . It didn’t take long for her to be choked .

“Be careful,” Song Mian stretched his hand to pat her back . It was a special patting technique . He only took a stroke or two to make Yun Xiangxiang breath smoothly .

Yun Xiangxiang who had calmed down said stupidly, “So what I drank just now was antique?”

Even though she didn’t know much about tea, Yun Xiangxiang did act in an epic ancient drama in her previous life . She did know what golden melon was!

Golden melon tribute tea was called as “Pu’er of the Emperors . ” It was a tribute item for ancient emperors . The tea leaves were specially picked from Wuliang Mountain in Yunnan . The leaves were sitting at two thousand meters above sea level . It was a craft that followed the ancient ways .

Old Man Min’s Darjeeling tea was still purchasable . However, it was said that there were only two lumps of the authentic version of this tea left in the world . They were displayed in museums . Of course, there were some that were scattered among the common folk .

This was no longer a tea leaf . It should have been an incomparable treasure .

Song Mian couldn’t help but let out wisps of laughter when he saw Yun Xiangxiang’s adorable face . “This tea might have been a priceless treasure for other people . However, what I have can provide for you for lifetime .

Yun Xiangxiang missed Song Meng’s double entendre . She was too shocked about the fact that the legendary tea that was rumored to be extinct was inexhaustible here . She shook her head vigorously, “I can’t accept that . I’m afraid that I won’t be able to sleep at night . ”

This stuff was more expensive than gold and diamonds . She would rise to the heavens if she were to drink it every day!

“Shall I take you out for a stroll?” Song Meng didn’t expect Yun Xiangxiang’s reaction to go that way . He couldn’t tell her that he would give her the tea leaves and could only divert the topic .

“Will I hold you up?” Yun Xiangxiang thought that Song Mian might be someone who took care of a million things a day .

“Coincidentally, it’s my off day today,” Song Mian answered with a smile .

Song Yao, who was at the entrance, overheard that sentence . He almost tripped and fell!

Oh my, young master . How bold of you to even say that . You don’t know how many people are going insane just because you suddenly decided to take a day off . That earl nearly busted my phone just through calling!

“Then I guess it would be impolite to decline . ” Yun Xiangxiang was looking forward to a tour in the yard that was built in perfect recreation of ancient style .

“Young master…”

Both of them heard Song Yao gently summoning him with an expression of reluctance . Yun Xiangxiang automatically took a few steps forward .

Song Mian walked over to face Yun Xiangxiang after he finished listening, “Have Song Qian take you on a stroll . I’ll be back quickly . ”

“Eh…” Yun Xiangxiang was just about to tell him that she wouldn’t want to trouble him if he was busy and that she would go back .

She didn’t expect Song Mian had already gone through the moon gate just after she blinked . He didn’t run nor walk in haste . It was absurd!

“Xiangxiang,” Song Qian’s voice suddenly rang our behind her . It made her jump .

“Please be considerate of the feelings of a mortal like me, young masters,” Yun Xiangxiang complained .

Song Qian smiled at her sweetly, “Let’s go . I’ll show you around . ”

“Can’t we just leave right now?” Yun Xiangxiang lowered her voice to ask .

“It wouldn’t be too nice . You have to say goodbye to the young master yourself . ” If I leave with you just like that, I would probably get taken off the Song Family’s family tree! Song Qian criticized silently in her heart . “On top of that, the young master ordered us to get your medicine . ”

Yun Xiangxiang also thought that it was impolite that way, “Alright, we’ll take a stroll . ”

Yun Xiangxiang said to Song Qian after a few steps, “Call Song Yao and ask him to make a lunch that mortals can eat . ”

She would have to stay for lunch at this rate . Yun Xiangxiang already had a lingering fear of golden melons . She didn’t want the dining table to be full of food that would cost a house for every bite!
