Lu Xiaoxian glared at Wu Yanxiu, thinking that he was troublesome. Mu Qianren also felt funny, it seems that Wu Yanxiu has been in the Turks for so many years, and his temperament has not changed at all.

Anyway, Chen Song was also kind, which made Lu Xiaoxian feel grateful, but he really couldn't answer Chen Song, so he had to smile at Chen Song: "My name is Lu Xiaoxian, and it is fate to meet Chen Xiaoxian." I happened to make a small fortune today, so I'll invite the two of you to eat and drink, let's talk while eating, how about it? ”

"Then Chen is welcome." Chen Song agreed with a smile, and looked at Wu Yanxiu again: "I don't know what Wu Gongzi wants?" ”

Wu Yanxiu bowed slightly: "It's better to be respectful than to obey!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian invited Chen Song and Wu Yanxiu to come to the autumn breeze, and in the private room, Lu Xiaoxian ordered a large table of dishes, and even the best "daughter red" in Zuixiaolou also served on two altars.

Glancing at the table full of wine and food, Chen Song smiled meaningfully: "Little brother, if I guess correctly, after these drinks and dishes, I'm afraid the silver you earned today will be almost gone." ”

Lu Xiaoxian said with admiration: "Shopkeeper Chen is worthy of being a businessman, his vision is really poisonous, you guessed correctly, a total of ninety-six taels of silver was spent." Two jars of 'daughter red' will cost eighty taels, and the vegetables will be sixteen taels of silver. ”

Chen Song has seen the world, and the banquet of a few hundred taels of silver in Chang'an City is nothing at all, but Lu Xiaoxian was so generous to the two strangers he met for the first time, which surprised them.

Wu Yanxiu smiled again, if Shopkeeper Chen knew about the relationship between Lu Xiaoxian and Qiu Fengpo, he probably wouldn't have said this.

While speaking, Lu Xiaoxian had already poured a full bottle of wine for Chen Song, and said with a big grin: "Shopkeeper Chen, Master Wu, don't be polite, please eat!" ”

"You're welcome!" Mu Qianren took the lead in picking up the chopsticks and picking up the dishes.

Seeing Mu Qianren's style, Wu Yanxiu couldn't help frowning, how could Lu Xiaoxian make such a friend.

Chen Song nodded, and just picked up the chopsticks, but saw that Lu Xiaoxian had already started it, and picked up a pork knuckle and nibbled on it.

Wu Yanxiu was stunned, how similar were the eating looks of these two people back then?

Chen Song didn't care, he took a bite of food and chewed it slowly.

Lu Xiaoxian nibbled on the pig's knuckle, his mouth was not idle, and he asked indistinctly: "Shopkeeper Chen, I don't know what big business you are doing in Chang'an?" ”

Chen Song said modestly: "I can't talk about big business, I just run a restaurant and barely make a living!" ”

"Huh?" Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said: "No wonder Shopkeeper Chen has such an accurate estimate of this table of wine and food, it turns out that you are in the restaurant business!" ”

Chen Song and Wu Yanxiu haven't eaten three or two bites of food, the pork knuckle in Lu Xiaoxian's hand is only Bai Shengsheng's bones, Mu Qianren is not bad, the two plates in front of him have already bottomed out, and the speed of the two of them is jaw-dropping.

Lu Xiaoxian put the bones aside, wiped the grease mouth with his sleeve, picked up the chopsticks and stretched them out to the plate, and in a few breaths, most of the plate of braised meatballs had been gone.

Wu Yanxiu stared at Lu Xiaoxian with a smile: "Little brother, you poured us wine, but you only let us see it and not let it drink, and I don't know how many glasses of wine to toast Shopkeeper Chen?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian listened to the meaning of Wu Yanxiu's words: Hurry up and get Chen Song drunk, he has something to say!

Lu Xiaoxian patted his head embarrassedly, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass: "Look at my memory, patronizing and talking, is it mine, come on, come on, I will toast you two with a glass!" ”

Chen Song picked up the glass and asked, "Little brother shouldn't be shallow in drinking, right?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian said modestly: "The amount of alcohol is average, maybe I can't accompany the two of you, but I will do my best!" ”

The four of them ate food and drank wine, and after a while, they became acquainted.

"Little brother, we don't know each other, and we let you spend so much money...... Come, I'll borrow flowers and offer a cup of Buddha to you! Chen Song was a little overhead, and he didn't speak very well.

Lu Xiaoxian drank it all, put down the wine glass, and said to Chen Song: "Shopkeeper Chen, you don't have to be polite, if you can look at me and call me Xiaoxian!" ”

Chen Song nodded: "Xiao Xian, speaking of which, I am also from Youzhou!" ”

Shopkeeper Chen is also from Youzhou, which Lu Xiaoxian didn't expect, and he couldn't help asking, "Is your home also here?" ”

Chen Song shook his head, his eyes were a little confused, as if he was talking to himself: "Our Chen family is a big family in Youzhou City, and the family has a lot of wealth, and I was a rich son when I was a child. However, no one could have imagined that this huge family property would become a talisman for the Chen family. One dark night, a gang of strongmen came into my house and kidnapped everyone for torture. In the end, they robbed the Chen family of money and property, and did not forget to set a fire when they left. Count my fate, I happened to live in my classmate's house that day, and escaped this catastrophe, and I was the only one in the entire Chen family who survived. One of my father's close friends found out about this and made a special trip from Chang'an to Youzhou, where he took me, and since then I have lived in Chang'an with this uncle. Later, before my uncle died, he left the Yonghe Building he ran to me. All in all, it's been more than thirty years since I left Youzhou City! ”

On the way to Youzhou, Chen Song did not tell Wu Yanxiu about it, and Wu Yanxiu also knew for the first time that Chen Song had such a bizarre life experience, and he was embarrassed to hear it at this time.

"So, Shopkeeper Chen came back this time?" Lu Xiaoxian asked.

"That's not it, I'm going to run errands elsewhere, and I happen to pass through Youzhou, so I stopped by the way to take a look." Chen Song pointed at Wu Yanxiu: "No, having Wu Gongzi as a companion along the way also exempts the loneliness of the journey!" ”

"Shopkeeper Chen, can you still find your former home?" Lu Xiaoxian asked with concern.

"Time has passed, and the former Chen Mansion is long gone!" Speaking of this, a smile suddenly appeared on Chen Song's face: "Although the Chen Mansion is gone, I met you at the old site of the Chen Mansion!" ”

"Won't it?" Lu Xiaoxian's eyes widened: "Shopkeeper Chen, do you mean that the Good Luck Gambling House is the former site of the Chen Mansion?" ”

Chen Song's voice was a little indescribable and unclear: "That's right, the former home has now become a gambling house, which is probably a portrayal of the ups and downs of life." ”

Wu Yanxiu persuaded on the side: "Shopkeeper Chen, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, no matter what, it is a blessing to meet Brother Xiaoxian today, and it is not in vain!" ”

Listening to Wu Yanxiu's words, Lu Xiaoxian was very grateful, he picked up his wine glass and said to the two of them proudly: "Wu Gongzi is right, come, I will give you a glass!" ”

After that, Lu Xiaoxian drank it all.

Wu Yanxiu wanted to get Chen Song drunk, but he didn't expect that Chen Song's alcohol consumption was not bad, if he continued to drink like this, Chen Song would not be much better when he was drunk, so he had to give up.

As if unintentionally, Lu Xiaoxian casually asked Wu Yanxiu: "Young Master Wu, are you on an errand or a game this trip?" ”

Chen Song and Wu Yanxiu have been together for so long, and he hasn't heard Wu Yanxiu mention the purpose of this trip, so it's hard for him to inquire. At this moment, Lu Xiaoxian asked about this, and he also wanted to know the answer, so he set his eyes on Wu Yanxiu.

"Me?" Wu Yanxiu glanced at Chen Song and hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaoxian said apologetically: "I just asked casually, don't mind Master Wu!" ”

Seeing this scene, Wu Yanxiu sighed and said, "I won't hide it from you, I came to Youzhou this time to find someone!" ”

"Who?" Lu Xiaoxian and Chen Song asked in unison.

"He's my best friend, he suddenly disappeared a few months ago, and I'm here to find him!" Speaking of this, Wu Yanxiu hesitated for a moment and apologized to the two: "Forgive me for having something unspeakable, his name and identity can only be kept secret from the two of you for the time being!" ”

Mu Qianren on the side seemed to be choked, and suddenly coughed violently.

Lu Xiaoxian hurriedly patted him on the back and muttered: "You, you're a poor life, I haven't seen you like this when you eat bran on weekdays, I finally ate something delicious, but don't spit it all out for me!" ”

Mu Qianren finally recovered his strength, and he didn't forget to glare at Lu Xiaoxian fiercely.

"Wu Gongzi, are you sure this friend is in Youzhou?" Lu Xiaoxian no longer paid attention to Mu Qianren and continued to ask.

Wu Yanxiu nodded: "According to the reliable information I got, he should be in Youzhou City!" ”

"Alas!" Lu Xiaoxian took a sip of food, as if talking to himself, "A lot of this so-called reliable news is unreliable, sometimes it's better not to believe it!" ”

Wu Yanxiu's eyes were blazing and said: "I have to believe it, because I have to find this friend, he is very important to me!" ”

"I hope so!" Lu Xiaoxian picked up the wine and said to Mu Qianren beside him, "Brother Mu, come, let's have a toast too, I wish Gongzi Wu can find his friend!" ”

Mu Qianren nodded heavily, and drank all the wine in the cup with Lu Xiaoxian.

"I don't know what the characteristics of this friend are of Wu Gongzi?" Chen Song asked with concern.

"He's twenty-four years old, about the same age as me. Six feet seven inches tall, about the same as me. He is a good gambler and has a lot of gambling, according to the time, he will only be in Youzhou City for two or three months at most! ”

"Did you hear it, his friend is a good gambler, and he gambles a lot!" Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said to Mu Qianren, "If it weren't for this, I'm afraid we wouldn't have had the chance to meet Wu Gongzi in the gambling house!" ”

"That's supposed to be a fresh face! That's right! Lu Xiaoxian seemed to think of something, he pointed at Mu Qianren, and said to Wu Yanxiu, "This Brother Mu will only be in Youzhou City for two or three months at most, could that friend of yours be him?" ”

Wu Yanxiu said angrily: "Do you think it will be him?" ”

How could Lu Xiaoxian not know Li Chongjun, just Mu Qianren's appearance and figure, he couldn't fight with Li Chongjun, this was obviously teasing himself, Wu Yanxiu couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

Mu Qianren said to Wu Yanxiu: "Young Master Wu, since you are Xiaoxian's friend, you are also my friend!" If you need it, I'll help you find it too! ”

"Thank you so much!" Wu Yanxiu arched his hand and said: "I have his portrait and put it in the inn, I'll show it to you another day!" ”
