"By the way, he gave me a private seal." Xu Chenlin took out the seal and handed it to Yan Lu.

Yan Lu took it and took a look, it was carved from a piece of high-quality blood jade, engraved with the word 'Xi Dynasty', which should be the name of the owner of the private seal, as for the name or the word, it is not accurate, the private seal in the hand of the view should be often played, it can be seen from the above pulp, it is obvious that the owner of the private seal is often brought with him, which can be said to be the most advantageous way to prove his identity.

"Shiochao?" Yan Lu doesn't feel like a person's name, but like a person's name without a surname, or a character?

"It's too early for him to take the word when he's underage, so it should be his name." Xu Chenlin had thought about it when he saw the words on the seal before.

"He couldn't have made it up?" Yan Lu asked when he had doubts.

"No, this private seal is really useful." Xu Chenlin was afraid of being deceived at the beginning, and only after using it did he confirm the authenticity of the seal.

"Even if you have a name, you can find out your identity." Yan Lu didn't know why Xu Minglin couldn't find out.

"Could it be someone from the palace?" Yan Lu has no doubts, what a huge back, with the eyes and ears of the Xu family all over the three countries, it is impossible not to find out, even if you can't find all of them, there are a few signs.

"How can there be a boy as big as him in the palace?" Xu Chen looked at his friend's expression, and suddenly smiled: "You don't want to say that it is those masters in the palace, right?" ”

"Oh, you have a judge?" Listen to Yan Lu.

"The master of the palace can count on ten fingers." Xu Chenlin said: "The two eldest ones are adults, and only one small one can no longer be used by other men, and besides, this little one is older than the young man, and I heard that he has never been out of the palace." ”

"Speaking of which, there are a few princesses." Xu Chenlin was even more happy when he said this, "You don't think that a young woman pretends to be a man, a princess of a country who grew up in a deep palace doesn't have the same means and mind as a teenager." ”

"In the middle of the family." Of course, Yan Lu would not think that the young man was a royal princess, and his all-round bearing really did not look like a delicate girl's family.

"It's not easy to check in the family, and there are many branches on the side of the lineage, so if you really want to find someone, you don't have enough time." Xu Chenlin also sent someone to investigate, although the scope was set, but it was really laborious to investigate, so he did not continue.

"Wait, Shio." Yan Lu suddenly remembered something: "Do you know that there is a daughter in Ouyang Mansion named Ouyang Xichao." ”

Xu Chenlin was stunned when he heard this: "You mean that the young man is the prime minister's daughter!" It's unlikely, right? He couldn't believe that a prime minister's daughter ran out to do business, which is really ridiculous.

"I heard that this prime minister's concubine is favored and has been canonized as the lord of Zunyi County." Yan Lu Yan said: "She also likes to show up in men's clothes, and no one dares to bully her in Beijing." ”

"After you mentioned this, I also know that there is such a person." Xu Chenlin still couldn't believe it in his heart, "It's just that she's a county lord who came out to do business, what is it for?" He also did not shy away from taking out the seal letter engraved with his name, for the Prime Minister's Mansion or the one above? "No one can say this, because things are too unbelievable to think in that direction.

"If it's for the Prime Minister's Mansion, it doesn't make sense, it's good to show up with a daughter's family when she goes out to deal with men, and if she is found to be spread by others, won't it ruin her reputation, and how will she marry in the future." Xu Chenlin analyzed: "Besides, the Prime Minister's Mansion is already a big family, and you still need to stretch out your hand to us businessmen who are covered in copper stench?" In case the boss knows that it is to be asked, if this time it is for the above, it is even more unreasonable, and the boss can't send a daughter's family outside to make money, so he has to send a credible person to come forward, no matter how he doesn't count, he has to be the eldest son in the prime minister's mansion, and this county lord has been in poor health since he was a child, and he needs to recuperate for a long time, and you also said that Cheng Dù, who is favored by the above, is absolutely impossible to let him out of Beijing. ”

"Besides, this county lord is arrogant and ruthless, and he really doesn't look like a teenager." Yan Lu smiled and took over the conversation and said, "All these things are enough to prove that this Xi Dynasty is not another Xi Dynasty. ”

"Well, that's what I meant." Xu Chenlin was beaten to death, and he didn't want to believe that he was pitted by a little girl.

"Don't rush to make up your mind." Yan Lu's thoughts are the same as Xu Chenlin's, but there is always a case in the matter, who can dare to make a solid conclusion.

Xu Chenlin felt a little impetuousness after hearing this, and suddenly spoke: "Why don't you and I take some time to meet me for a while." "If you get up close, you may be able to find out what your friends can't tell.

"It's fine." Yan Lu also wanted to meet the young man, but he couldn't see anything at all just by one side, he didn't want Xu Chenlin to be framed and end up miserable.

I haven't seen my friends for two years, Xu Chenlin and Yan Lu chatted very happily, and stayed in this restaurant when it was late, and went to see the boy together after finishing the private salt business tomorrow.

Xi Dynasty has liked to practice calligraphy in the past two days, and it is necessary to write three or five sheets a day, and today after lunch, let Hongrui prepare paper and ink and write a poem of seven words.

"Master, Gongzi Xu is here, and he has brought another son." The green sound outside the door came into the house.

"Oh?" The tide of the pen in his hand turned to the phoenix, and he didn't particularly care about the guests who came to the door when he swayed his pen and ink.

"Practicing calligraphy again?" Xu Chenlin smiled on his face, and when he entered the house, he saw that the young man who didn't raise his head was practicing calligraphy again.

Yan Lu followed behind Xu Chen, and as soon as he entered the room, his eyes naturally focused on the young man holding the pen behind the table, and looked at it closely, but it was a little different from last night, compared to the coldness under the glimpse last night, the current teenager is more gentle and quiet, and the two completely different temperaments are actually highlighted in the same person, which has to be surprising, and it is indeed much younger at the age of the teenager.

Yan Lu noticed that the four little guys around the young man had a hint of femininity no matter how they looked at it, and they were slightly shocked when they looked closely, these four people were clearly women, so his eyes once again turned to the young man who was writing by himself.

No, the boy is so young that he can't see the femininity, could it be that he guessed wrong, Yan Lu couldn't help frowning slightly.

"This handwriting is quite in the style of everyone." Xu Chenlin did not introduce his friend Yan Lu first, but stepped forward to admire the young man's calligraphy.

"What, you're interested?" Xi Chao put down his pen and took the wet handkerchief handed by Hongming to wipe his hands.

"Just for appreciation, if the little boy is not stingy, you can give it to me." Xu Chenlin is not a sycophant, the young man's handwriting is indeed relaxed, and if he practices this calligraphy for a few more years, it should be covetous.

"Xu Gongzi is really good at laughing, the master's words are to be taken out and sold, how can you say that you can give it away." Hongrui chuckled and served good tea for Xu Chenlin and Yan Lu.

"Want to sell?" Xu Chenlin was surprised and said, "How many taels of silver is still missing for the little boy?" "I can afford to open several shops, where can I miss the silver flower, and where can I start with this selling word?

"No, the master's words have been sold several times, each for ten taels of silver." Hong Ming took over and said: "The master only writes three or five sheets a day, which is nothing more than to earn a few taels of silver for recreation, so that he is not really short of silver flowers." ”

Xu Chenlin couldn't understand the young man's mind of selling words, so he didn't ask too much, so he directly took out ten taels of silver and put it down, took the cursive and put it away carefully.

Hongming took the money and found a box for Xu Chenlin to put it.

"Who is this?" Xi Chao looked at the handsome man in ink and guessed the man's identity in his heart.

"This is Yan Lu, my confidant and friend, and I came to visit the little boy today." Xu Chenlin came out to recommend.

"Under the strict law, there are many disturbances." Yan Lu clenched his fists and saluted, his eyes looking directly at the young man in front of him.

"Sit." Xichao raised his hand and asked Yan Lu to take a seat.

"You seem to be interested in me?" Xi Chao smiled at Yan Lu, and this was obviously said to Yan Lu.

"Ahem." Xu Chenlin almost choked on his own saliva, and the young man was really shocked, startling himself.

Yan Lu didn't expect the young man to break his mind in one word, and said without changing his face: "I'm just curious." ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. Xi Chao waited for Yan Liu's next words, she wanted to hear how this person judged herself.

Xu Chenlin looked at the young man in surprise, why did the young man generously allow others to ask, the sun came out in the west? Or is it that Yan Lu is more youthful than himself.

"The four little guys around the little boy, but women disguise themselves as men?" Yan Lu went straight to the point and directly asked the doubts in his heart, so as to find out the identity of the young man's true knowledge.

Xu Chenlin, who was on the side, opened his mouth when he heard Yan Lu, and secretly said that it was broken, he was happy to patronize last night and forgot that the four little girls around his friend were women's affairs, and he was a little embarrassed to be asked today.

Xu Chenlin glanced at Yan Lu beside him, and secretly asked Yan Lu directly.

"Yes, four flower-like women." Xichao did not shy away from giving the answer.

Yan Lu didn't expect the young man to answer so happily, without the slightest fake, and he was a little too late to react.

"So, the words on this private seal?" Xu Chenlin took the opportunity to interject, it is rare to have such an opportunity, maybe the young man is in a very good mood today, and he happened to catch up, if he misses this village, he will not have this land, such a good opportunity to know the answer in his heart, how can he let it go.

"So be it." Xi Chao tapped the edge of the table with his fingertips and said, "For the sake of fairness, why don't you play a game?" ”

"Games?" Xu Chenlin listened to it with a mushy head, why did he get involved in it?

"The game is what you two can ask and want to know, and it's up to me whether the answer is up to me, and I ask what I want to know, and the two answers, back and forth, how?" Xi Chao also doesn't like others to test her, but this time she is an exception, she wants to see the purpose of the man in ink.

"It's not good, if I ask you and you don't answer, and if you ask us and don't answer, no, there is still no result, how can we continue the game?" Xu Chenlin didn't think it was a good game to know the secrets of teenagers.

"Of course, there is a premise for the game." Xi Chao said: "You ask, I answer, then when I ask, you also have to give an answer, if both parties can't answer the other's question, then you can reveal and ask the next one." ”

Xu Chenlin and Yan Lu glanced at each other, feeling that this method was feasible, without hurting each other's harmony, and knowing what they wanted to know, neither of them would suffer.

"As the little boy said, the little boy will invite first." Yan Lu was the first to agree and made concessions.

"Yan Gongzi knows martial arts?" Although he didn't see Yan Lu wearing weapons with him, with the intuition of fellow warriors in the Xi Dynasty, he keenly felt that Yan Lu must be from an extraordinary background, and this was just the beginning.

"Yes." Yan Lu has nothing to hide from the practice of martial arts.

"What about the private seal?" It's time for Yan Lu to ask, Xu Linchen couldn't wait to speak first.

"Where?" It is impossible for Xi Chao to be stupid enough to say everything, Xu Chenlin asked too generally.

"The words on the private seal are the name of the little boy?" Yan Lu added from the side.

"So to speak." It's not wrong to have a name, as for the surname, that's another matter, as for how Xu Yan and the others think that it is not in the consideration of the Xi Dynasty, since the private seal was given, it has been considered that Xu Chenlin will start to check from the private seal, and everyone knows how much they have found.

After getting the young man's reply, Xu Chenlin and Yan Lu relaxed a little in their hearts, if they wanted to find out the identity of the young man, they really started with the private seal, and as for whether it was as Yan Lu had guessed before, they had to further investigate.

"Where does Yan Gongzi's family live?" Xi Chao is also not lacking in curiosity about Yan Lu.

Yan Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "Jiangning Yan Mansion." "It's not that he can't say this, even if he doesn't say that he wants to check as a teenager, he can find out, but it's just a matter of time.

"The little boy is a person from Beijing?" The words have to be asked little by little, and the set has to be taken step by step to make people relax their vigilance, Yan Lu is well versed in this and handed a look to Xu Chenlin beside him, so that he can be at ease.

"My family lives in Beijing." Xi Chao didn't mind telling the two of them about this question, and he could clearly see that the questions asked by the two were being pressed step by step, but there was a trace of excitement in his heart.

"What does Yan Gongzi's family do?" Shiochao moved on to the next question.

Yan Lu thought for a while and said, "The family is in the medicinal herb business. ”

Xi Chao was more interested when he heard it, since he was in the medicinal materials business, he must know a lot of people, and it was best to inquire about the whereabouts of the famous folk doctors.

"Is the little boy the eldest daughter of the Ouyang family in the Prime Minister's Mansion in Beijing?" Yan Lu asked this sentence out of temptation, no matter whether the young man answered or not, he could guess one or two from the young man's expression, and the probability of having this two points was probably not far from the truth.

"Heh, Yan Gongzi is so anxious to confirm." Hongrui smiled and added tea to the three of them, and looked at Yan Lu with a smile that did not decrease, this person is really kind-hearted, but his temperament is really interesting.

Xi Chao lowered his eyes, pulled out the tea leaves tumbling up and down in the cup with the tea lid in one hand, and said leisurely: "Yan Gongzi is really bold and careful. There was no positive answer, but the meaning of the words was obvious.

Yan Lu and Xu Chenlin couldn't help but be stunned at first glance, is this an admission? Still not admitted. Impossible, the young man in front of him doesn't look like what his daughter's family should look like, should the young man use this to let the two of them speculate wildly, the young man did not give a clear answer, but how to listen to that sentence has another meaning.

"Can Yan Gongzi know medical skills?" Xichao asked unhurriedly.

"Slightly proficient." It is impossible for Yan Lu to lie about such a thing.

"Oh?" This is really sleepy, someone sent a pillow, and a flash of light flashed in Xichao's eyes.

"Are you really the Lord of Zunyi?" Xu Chenlin desperately wanted to know whether the answer was true or not, and if so, how should they deal with themselves in the Xu family.

Yan Lu sighed helplessly, why couldn't Xu Chenlin wait, asking these questions at this juncture, even if it was true, it was impossible for the young man to admit it generously.

"Last question, can Yan Gongzi know what famous doctors there are?" Xi Chao didn't answer Xu Chenlin's question, but instead asked Yan Lu.

"You haven't answered my question yet?" Xu Chenlin emphasized: "Yan Lu can choose not to answer. It's not that he's impatient, but he can't help but ask the facts, this is related to the fate of the Xu family in the future, the reputation of the county lord is too great, and their Xu family can't afford it.

Xi Chao smiled, looked at Xu Chenlin and said, "You have to know that there are some things that the clearer you know, the more you can't get out." This is a tactful reminder that Xu Chenlin should think carefully about whether he should ask some things before asking the bottom line.

Xu Chen was dumbfounded for a while, the young man was indeed right, the more he knew, the more trouble it would bring, and sometimes he would get killed, but instead of burying his doubts in his heart and not being at peace, it was better to spit it out as soon as possible, even if he heard the answer he didn't want to believe, he could make effective preparations for the predictable results in the future earlier, which was the most correct way.

"Does the little boy need a famous doctor at home?" Yan Lu suddenly asked this question, if the young man is really the daughter of the prime minister, the lord of a country, even if there is a person in the family who is really sick and needs to ask a doctor, he will not rashly ask him, an outsider who is not familiar, there are many imperial doctors in the royal family, and there are many precious medicinal materials, why do you want to come to the people to seek medical advice, this is too unreasonable.

"Yan Gongzi needs to be cautious when he speaks!" Hongming kindly reminded.

Yan Lu frowned and stopped speaking, the young man's meaning was already very obvious, and if he wanted to know a more exact answer, he had to pay the price. He agrees with the boy's approach, at least he has no other bad intentions.

Xu Chenlin thought quietly for a moment and said: "Anyway, I have signed a deed of sale for five years, and I have been in the same boat for the past five years. He had already figured it out, no matter what, he had to know the true identity of the teenager, so that in the next five years, they would be able to weigh the pros and cons and make the best choice.

Yan Lu didn't open his mouth to stop it, Xu Chenlin's concerns were there, if he didn't figure out the identity of the collaborators, there would be disagreements in dealing with some things in the future, and it was difficult to say whether he could not be affected.

"Swap." Xi Chao saw that Xu Chenlin had already said that this had come up, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and she never suffered a loss.

"What exchange?" Xu Chenlin became more and more unable to see through the young man's thoughts, "It's all grasshoppers on a rope to exchange something, and it's not you who suffers." ”

Yan Lu was slightly stunned, the boy meant that he still wanted to exchange at an equal price, but he really had a big appetite, and he had to admit that the teenager's methods were slick, which made it really impossible for people to deal with it.

"What does the little boy want?" Yan Lu now has to ask clearly, what did the young man fancie?

"News of a famous doctor or a famous doctor himself." Shio's face calmly opened the condition.

Xu Chenlin and Yan Lu couldn't help frowning, and said in their hearts: "It seems that the final purpose of the young man is to find a famous doctor." "Could it be that who has a strange disease, even the imperial doctor in the palace is helpless?

"That's all?" Yan Lufu asked again, afraid that the young man had other ideas.

"That's all." Xi Chao affirmed, and looked at Yan Lu with a look of vigilance, this person really has a lot of scruples.

"I know a famous doctor." Yan Lu made a bold decision.

Very good! Xi Chao was quite satisfied that Yan Lu could be on the set, "I need a famous doctor to go out once." "It's been made very clear.

Yan Lu thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "Yes." ”

"Hongming." The tide summoned Hongming.

Hongming put the written deed on the table, and while the master was talking about the conditions, she had already begun to study the ink and write this deed in black and white, and she was not afraid that things would change in the middle.

"You ......" is simply ...... Xu Chenlin and Yan Lu looked at the deed on the table and were completely dumbfounded, it was the first time in these years, the young man had already prepared, purely digging a pit to let the two of them take the initiative to jump down, and the bait placed on the edge of the pit was the true identity of the young man, the good guy was really generous.

The deed is written on the things just discussed, one by one, as long as Yan Lu can accompany the famous doctor on a long trip, the Xi Dynasty they want to know will be truthfully explained to show their sincerity.

Xi Chao signed his name, raised his eyes and motioned for Xu Chenlin and Yan Lu to sign and draw.

Yan Lu looked at the boy funny, he was really deceived by the boy's appearance.

Xu Chenlin only had a wry smile, what is this? In desperation, they signed the names of the two.

Xichao is satisfied with the contract.

"Can you say that?" Xu Chenlin looked at the young man very depressed.

Xi Chao took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and put it on the table, this jade pendant was enough to answer any questions Xu Chenlin had before.

Xu Chenlin took it and took a look, oh the good mutton fat white jade ring pendant, carved with auspicious cloud patterns, this is not the main thing, the most important thing is that there is a symbol of the identity of the owner of the jade pendant, and the word 'Zunyi' is impressively imprinted into the eye.

"Honorable County Lord." Yan Lufu looked at the young man again, smiled helplessly, went around in a circle and returned to the same place.

"I heard that the lord of Zunyi is handsome and incomparable." Xu Chenlin stared at the young man's barely delicate face, and became suspicious.

"But the rumors can't be trusted." Xi Chao took back his jade pendant.

"I don't think so." Yan Lu had already determined the identity of the young man, so he was sure that the young man in front of him was not the original face of the county lord of Zunyi.

"It's very clearly written on the deed." Xu Chenlin's mind moved slightly, and he wanted to meet this Zunyi county lord, who was known as the first talent in Shangjing, whether he was really as handsome as rumored.

Xi Chao looked at the faces of the two of them showing a look of must see the true face, and helplessly glanced at Hong Ming on the side, the corner of Hong Ming's lips smiled and took the handkerchief to moisten, and stepped forward to remove the disguise on his face for his master.

The human skin mask is made very realistically, the seams are not easy to find, and it is naturally not easy to remove lightly, first soak the edges of the dough with water, and then rub on the special ointment and wait for a while to completely remove the mask.

Because of wearing a human skin mask for a long time, his complexion is slightly pale, but it is indeed an unforgettable handsome face.

Xu Chenlin and Yan Lu couldn't help but praise after seeing the young man's true face, and sure enough, as rumored, their hearts were finally steady.

"When can I go?" Xi Chao took the wet handkerchief handed by Hongrui and wiped her face dry, what she is most anxious about now is her father in the palace, the famous doctor can go early for a while, he can be cured earlier, even if he can't be cured, he can prolong his life for a few years.
