Tang Sha walked out of the courtyard gate and walked towards the small pavilion of the lotus pond. He saw a black figure in the distance.

It is said that Ning Xiaoming and Ning Ge have not seen each other for two years, so it stands to reason that it is not unusual for them to have some changes.

Ning Ge kept staring at the courtyard gate waiting for Ning Xiaoming. Her sister was finally willing to see him. Was she complaining that he had sent her to the palace without asking her, or was she complaining that he had left her alone?

.My sister is such a weak person. Thinking that she might be bullied, Ning Ge felt a little hot in his eyes.

Tang Sha approached the pavilion, and the man kept looking at her, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Tang Sha was thinking, how should she speak? To her, Ning Ge was just a stranger she met for the first time. Even if she was thick-skinned, she would be embarrassed to borrow so much money through Ning Xiaoming's relationship, which was a bit difficult.

.

As soon as Tang Sha entered the pavilion, before she could speak, she was hugged by the person in front of her.

"Sister." Ning Ge murmured.

Ning Ge is the same age as Ning Xiaoming. He is only seventeen years old, but he is already over 1.8 meters tall. It is inevitable that he will grow to 1.9 meters. Is this a sign of genetic strength?

The sudden hug startled Tang Sha, and he subconsciously wanted to push him away. But the younger brother hugged him tighter and tighter. No matter how strong Tang Sha was, he was still far behind military commanders like them.

"Little brother, please put me first..." Well, before she finished speaking, Tang Sha couldn't continue because she felt that he seemed to be crying.

Damn it! You're crying before I even start pretending to be pitiful! But it seems that Ning Ge has very deep feelings for Ning Xiaoming.

"Sister, I miss you." Ning Ge said with a tearful voice. If Zhao Li and the others saw this scene, they would be stunned. Ning Ge, who is usually aloof and taciturn, mature and steady, never changes his demeanor on the battlefield, is cold and bloodthirsty.

General Ning actually acted like a child at this time, hugging his sister and crying. In Tang Sha's eyes, he was indeed just a child.

Tang Sha was so numb that she had goosebumps. She didn't know what to do for a moment, so she let Ning Ge hold her.

After a while, Ning Ge let her go. Looking carefully at Ning Xiaoming's face, she saw that she was thinner, taller, and darker. She was completely different from the white, tender and plump girl she used to be. She looked like two different people.

Tang Sha stared at Ning Ge helplessly, and saw that Ning Ge's eyes began to turn red again, and immediately said in a panic: "Why do you cry so easily? I didn't do anything to you."

After hearing Tang Sha's words, Ning Ge also smiled awkwardly. He cried in front of his sister when they first met. He has grown up. But why does his sister look at him with such eyes? She feels a little helpless and a little... strange.

.

"Sister, how have you been in the past two years?" Ning Ge asked.

Tang Sha walked to the stone table in the pavilion, sat down, pointed to the seat next to him, and motioned for Ning Ge to sit down too.

Ning Ge obediently came over and sat down.

"I haven't had a good life in the past two years. I have experienced a lot and suffered a lot. Do you think those women are very kind? So in order to live a better life, now I don't even recognize myself." Tang Sha smiled bitterly.

Go ahead and fool around.

"They bully you?" Ning Ge frowned, a hint of indifference flashing in his eyes.

"It used to be, but now no one dares to bully me. If they bully me, they won't get a good ending. Haha, Ning Ge, do you think I have become a little scary now? I don't look like your sister anymore?" Tang Sha said.

The wry smile turned into a sneer. To be honest, she felt that her acting skills were a bit awkward, a bit artificial, and a bit bloody.

"Sister will always be sister." Ning Ge suppressed the slight discomfort in her heart, feeling a little surprised and a little distressed.

"So you came here just to see me?" Tang Sha asked, looking directly at Ning Ge.

"I... Your Majesty asked me to return with him in three months. I just want to come and see my sister more. Now I don't know when I will be able to come back. It's possible..." Ning Ge thought of something and suddenly fell silent.

, just smiled at Tang Sha.

Tang Sha guessed what he wanted to say later, and he might never come back. She didn't understand what kind of thoughts these teenagers had when they went to the battlefield, and what they were thinking when they faced life and death.

In fact, she really wants to go and see it, and also wants to be on the battlefield. She wants her life to have other values. The pursuit of value is endless. It doesn't matter, sooner or later there will be such a day, so she should put the things in front of her first.

Get it done.

"So, what should I do then?" Tang Sha asked.

"I left everything to my sister. I have saved a lot of money in the past two years. If I..., this money can also make my sister worry-free for the rest of her life." After Ning Ge finished speaking, he felt that he had not expressed enough and continued: "

Tomorrow I will, no no, I will have someone deliver it to my sister this afternoon."

Tang Sha thought to himself: He doesn't know his purpose, he hasn't spoken yet.

"Do you think what I want is money?" Tang Sha said without changing his expression.

"Sister, what do you want? I will get it for you." Ning Ge was a little panicked.

Tang Sha did not answer this question, but asked him another question: "Ning Ge, do you regret going to the frontier fortress?"

Ning Ge didn't expect Tang Sha to ask this question, so he didn't react and was stunned for a while. Then he stood up, his expression suddenly became serious, even pious, looked at Tang Sha and said: "It is an honor to fight for the country."

After hearing the answer, Tang Sha was stunned for a moment, then stood up, no longer pretending to be indifferent, patted Ning Ge on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "Ning Xiaoming is so honored to have such a younger brother."

She knew that apart from money, Ning Ge could only give Ning Xiaoming the friendship thousands of miles apart. This child was very upright! He was the kind of person she had always admired.

Ning Ge was very pleasantly surprised. She remembered that when she said she wanted to go to the battlefield, her sister was very angry and did not support her. Now her sister agrees with her approach and even regards him as her pride. What could be more joyful than this?

Something?

Thinking about wanting to hug Tang Sha, Tang Sha immediately took a step back and said to Ning Ge: "It's so big, don't keep touching it."

"Yes, sister." Ning Ge agreed shyly.

Since Ning Ge was busy doing the things Ye Xuanyuan assigned him these days, time was a little tight. It was rare for him to take time to see Ning Xiaoming. So he just chatted for a while, and Ning Ge felt reluctant to leave.

The emotion is gone.

As for what they were talking about, of course it was Ning Ge’s idol Ye Xuanyuan. Tang Sha said that he rarely saw Prince Dao and didn’t understand him. Then Ning Ge started to talk about Ye Xuanyuan’s various things, which were in line with Tang Sha’s general impression.

Apart from the appearance, nothing is the same.

Tang Sha also knows that you can't judge a person based on one or two things. What others say can't be used as a standard, and can only be used as a reference. It's not inconvenient for her to make more evaluations. If she has the opportunity, she can get to know the person Ning Ge talks about.

A "god"-like figure.

After Ning Ge left, Tang Sha went back to the courtyard directly. If Ning Ge gave her money, even if she thought it was a loan, it was still Tang Sha who owed Ning Ge. What she owed was not just money, but love. She occupied

He took Ning Xiaoming's body and accepted the love that belonged to Ning Xiaoming. I'm afraid it's still unclear.

But these things have been destined since she became Ning Xiaoming in the eyes of others. This is fate and cause and effect. Follow your heart and do what you think is right. There are some things that even if you don't take the initiative to owe them, you still know how to pay them back.

It’s not clear, but it must be paid back.

"Xiao Ming, you're back, come and try the lotus tea I just ordered." Qing Lan greeted Tang Sha as soon as she entered the door.

Lian Xin and Que Ling were both sitting at the coffee table, with tea cups in front of them.

"Lotus tea? Let me try it." Tang Sha felt a little new, so she walked over, sat down, and waited for Qinglan's tea. She didn't particularly like this bitter thing, so even though the streets and alleys of the imperial capital were filled with teahouses and tea shops

, she never went in either.

I knew that tea and wine culture was very popular in Chen Guo, but I didn’t expect that there was such a thing as scented tea.

In fact, Chen Guo's tea culture is much more than what Tang Sha saw, and there are many varieties. As long as you go out, you will definitely find a lot of tea fighting.

There are also rich varieties of tea. Among the scented teas, the most famous Sichuan summer crabapple tea is delicious and sweet, but the quantity is very small. Only the princes, nobles and extremely wealthy families can use it.

On the other hand, lotus tea is quite common and tastes very beautiful.

Qinglan used a teaspoon to put a small amount of lotus tea powder into the tea cup, then poured a little boiled dew water into it, and mixed it into a paste. Then, while pouring water, she stirred it with a tea spoon (Xian Shangsheng), and the tea soup gradually turned into a soup.

, and finally Tanghua was turned into a lotus shape by Qinglan. This series of operations made Tang Sha amazed.

"Sister, you are amazing!" Tang Sha praised without hesitation.

"That's not true. Sister Qing's tea art is not comparable to that of ordinary people. It's not the first time you have seen it." Que Ling was so arrogant that it seemed that it was not Qing Lan who had such tea art but her. It seemed that they still respected her very much.

Tea ceremony.

"Yeah." Lian Xin nodded in agreement.

"Sister, how do you make this lotus tea?" Tang Sha asked Qinglan directly, regardless of whether they thought she was stupid.

"This lotus tea is very simple to make. When the lotus blooms, pick some half-open lotus flowers, put the tea leaves into the lotus stamens, then tie the lotus flowers together with a rope, and dry them in the sun. This lotus tea,

It was just made a few months ago, and the floral fragrance is very strong." Qinglan explained.

Qing Lan made them a cup each, and it tasted really good. But they all put some licorice in it, but not the Tang Sha, because it was very bitter.

Tang Sha finished the tea in just a few sips. He put down the tea cup and saw that they were all taking small sips. He immediately felt that he and they couldn't get along with each other in this regard.

Forget it, let's go read a book and take a day off. I'll be busy tomorrow.

After talking to them, he left and went to the cubicle. He found a book called "Tea Drinks of Today" from the bookshelf and read it. The book not only talks about various teas, but also many drinks, most of which are made from fruits and herbs.

, both delicious and healthy.

How can these people enjoy themselves so much? Tang Sha secretly clicked his tongue.

Time passed and it was noon.

Since the last Mid-Autumn Festival, they had three meals a day in the Youth Courtyard, one in the morning and one at noon. In the evening, they took turns going to the dog hole in the back wall of the palace to get Tang Sha for the takeaway they ordered from the restaurant outside.

For the sake of business, those businessmen don't care so much. They often secretly give it to the young ladies from wealthy families who can't go out, and they get used to it.

Qinglan Queling and the others also truly experienced the fun of the market.

After lunch, Tang Sha went to the yard to bask in the sun and sweat a lot. Qiu Laohu was not that easy to mess with, and his roommates were used to it.

At the end of the day, around three o'clock in the afternoon, someone sent a box to the Fanghua Courtyard. It was said that General Ning gave it to Mrs. Ming. In addition, the prince personally ordered an additional twelve taels of monthly payment for each courtyard.
