Chapter Seventy-One: Old Acquaintances

"Childe, please stay. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "The stall owner walked out from behind the stall and handed Tang Xu a small jar.

"This! You still say you don't know Liu Shenxian? "This jar Tang Xu is very familiar with, it was Tang Xu who gave the small medicine jar to Liu Shenxian in the first place. Now that he is back in his hands, Tang Xu has mixed feelings in his heart.

"I really don't know the old gentleman, but the old gentleman said that if two young men come to inquire about him, he will hand over this little jar." The stall owner replied.

"But if someone else comes to ask, wouldn't it be a staggered thing?" It was the first time Tang Xu encountered such a casual entrustment.

"The old gentleman said that the two sons were good-looking, and they would reward me with a lot of money regardless of whether they asked the results or not." The stall owner smiled, his face slightly embarrassed.

"I take the liberty of asking, but the stall owner is waiting for money at home?" Tang Xu had an idea, and suddenly felt that Liu Shenxian seemed to be playing a game with him in the air.

"How do you know?" The stall owner was stunned.

"What do you need money for?" Tang Xu asked again. The stall owner was extremely embarrassed and said that because he was too poor to handle the marriage, his childhood sweetheart's fiancée was about to be married to someone else by her father, and he was so worried that he couldn't eat or sleep well these days.

"Brother Tai's surname?" Tang Xu asked, and the stall owner said that his surname was Zhong, and his single name was Li. Tang Xu nodded, saying that his marriage was wrapped up in himself, and let him just go and appease his fiancée.

"If you can't do it, you won't be able to do anything, how can Zhong Li receive this great favor." Zhong Li resigned again and again.

"I can have today all thanks to Mr. Liu, and now Mr. Liu has the heart to let me help you, I must help with this favor." Tang Xu said. Zhong Li was surprised, it was not too late for Tang Xu to talk about gossip later, now he will organize the wedding first, and say that he will come to discuss with him again tomorrow. Zhong Li was grateful after hearing this, and only gave up after thanking her.

"The old fairy asked us to help him?" On the way back, Xiao Cui was still very confused, feeling that Tang Xu was talking like he was playing a dumb riddle just now.

"The first time I met Liu Shenxian, he used my money to help a pair of orphans and widows, and later said that he knew that I was generous and would not ask him to get it back. He never asks people for money, unless there is a reason, such as the big brother Zhong just now. Just now, Brother Zhong said that Liu Shenxian expected that I would reward him with a lot of money, and then I guessed that this person should be waiting for the money. Tang Xu replied to her.

"It's really like a god." Xiao Cui admired it very much, and suddenly remembered the small jar that Zhong Li gave Tang Xu, and asked him what it was?

"Immortal Liu said that this medicine is rare in the world, I didn't expect him to return it to me, did you expect that I would be able to use it?" Tang Xu said as he opened the cover of the mouth of the small jar and sniffed it.

"Huh?" Tang Xu was surprised when he smelled it, he had just forgotten that this medicine was colorless and odorless, and he didn't remember it until he reached the mouth of the jar, but there was some pungent strange smell in it that he had never smelled before. Tang Xu borrowed the light to look inside, and it was no longer a clotted white paste, but some gray powder.

"Show me." Xiao Cui was very curious, and after taking the jar, she exclaimed in a low voice, saying that this was the medicine that the old fairy gave herself. Tang Xu was so excited when he heard this, and said to Xiaocui that he would take it away and think about it when he got home.

"I'm hungry." Xiao Cui and Tang Xu touched their stomachs when they passed by a steamed bun shop on the street. Tang Xu said that the steamed buns didn't eat the head, let's go eat something good. After speaking, he took Xiaocui into a restaurant.

"It's too expensive here, I'll just eat steamed buns." Xiaocui was born a commoner and didn't enjoy anything in the palace. Huixian Building, which Tang Xu brought her to, is a famous restaurant in Kaifeng City, not to mention the exquisite and luxurious interior, even the guys in the running hall are wearing clothes sewn from high-quality fabrics. The guy came over to say hello enthusiastically, and without saying a word, he recognized Tang Xu, and immediately ran to inform the shopkeeper.

"Imperial Doctor Tang is coming from afar, you two wait a minute, I will arrange a private room for you." The shopkeeper said.

"The shopkeeper is not busy, just clean up the table by the window." Tang Xu said. The shopkeeper smiled even brighter when he heard this, presumably there was already someone in the private room, and Tang Xu didn't mind sitting in the lobby to save him from offending others.

"You come often?" Xiao Cui followed Tang Xu and received more hospitality.

"Today is the second time, and the last time was when I first entered the Imperial Doctor's Hall, Imperial Doctor Ge invited me to come." Tang Xu replied. Xiaocui was surprised and said that she didn't believe it, she had been here once, how could she know everyone who was in charge of the shopkeeper's hall?

"This is Kaifeng, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, which is not to see the six roads and listen to the eight directions, any person you meet on the street may have something to do with the emperor's relatives and important ministers of the court, and the shopkeeper can't afford to offend, so you can only keep your eyes open and remember. However, it is not all for fear of offending people, and it is also very beneficial if you have a deep friendship with the powerful people in the DPRK and China. Tang Xu said to Xiaocui. Xiaocui understood, but she didn't quite understand, but her lover was also the object of the shopkeeper's stammer, so Xiaocui was very happy when she thought about it.

"Little second brother, we haven't ordered food yet, did you deliver the wrong one?" Xiao Cui and Tang Xu were chatting, and Xiao Er had already brought several large plates of hot dishes, and the aroma was full of appetite. It's just that the two of them have been chatting since just now and haven't ordered, probably because Xiao Er recognized the wrong table.

"You're Imperial Doctor Tang, right?" Xiao Er asked, Tang Xu nodded, Xiao Er said that it would not be wrong, and the guests in the private room over there indicated that it was sent.

"Who?" Tang Xu looked in the direction of Xiao Er's finger, and the doors of several private rooms on this floor were closed, and he couldn't tell whether there were people or no one inside.

"You go down first." Tang Xu rewarded Xiao Er with a few dollars, and Xiao Er retreated with a smile.

"Let's go over and have a look." Tang Xu stood up as he spoke, Xiao Cui followed as a matter of course, and the two walked to the door of the nearest private room, but they couldn't tell if there was anyone inside, and even if there was, they didn't know if it was the person who delivered the food. Tang Xu was hesitating, and out of nowhere, a person said loudly, Tang Imperial Doctor invited.

"Who called me?" Tang Xu followed the sound and looked, there was a door behind the bead curtain opposite the hall, and the sound seemed to come from there, but there was a bead curtain blocking it and it was some distance away, so that people couldn't see clearly, and even whether the voice was male or female just now was a little blurry.

Tang Xu glanced at Xiao Cui and asked her to follow him, but the two of them walked towards the beaded curtain. Getting closer, Tang Xu saw that there seemed to be a young man sitting inside, wearing a brocade robe with elegant decorations. Tang Xu took two steps forward, opened the curtain and looked around, there seemed to be only this young man in the room. Although he sent so many dishes to Tang Xu, there was only a pot of tea and a small dish on his table.

"Excuse me." Seeing that the people inside were not in a hurry to let themselves in, Tang Xu simply took the initiative to appear, and after he informed the inside, he pushed the door and walked in with Xiaocui.

"Under Tang Xu." Tang Xu knew that the other party recognized him, so he still reported to his home, and then waited for the other party to return the gift, and he also saw that it was indeed a young man in front of him. But the man did not give his name, only said please be seated, and his voice was not as deep and rough as that of ordinary men.

"This son, have we met somewhere?" Looking at each other's faces and trying to remember, but there was no clue. He is now on an errand in the palace, except for the eunuchs, he has probably never seen a man with such delicate eyebrows.

"We've seen it." The man smiled, as if inadvertently glanced at Xiao Cui a few times, Xiao Cui looked back without stage fright, but forced him to withdraw his eyes.

"Forgive me for being rude, dare to ask Childe, where have we met?" This person spoke strangely, Tang Xu kept searching in his mind, but he still couldn't find a clue.

"Tang Gongzi has now become the imperial doctor of Tang, and the old people don't know it." The other party is still selling Guanzi, which makes Tang Xu uncomfortable, seeing that he is not very old, and he does not look like a person in the officialdom, maybe he is not a local.

"Thank you for the kindness of the son, but it is useless, Tang Xu is afraid that he will not be able to accept this favor." Tang Xu thought that he was sitting upright, and he didn't want to waste any more time guessing riddles with him. I originally wanted to bring Xiaocui to eat something good, don't affect the mood for this person.

"Tang Gongzi doesn't care if you don't eat those tasteless meals, let's have a cup of tea." The man saw Tang Xu speaking coldly, but suddenly became enthusiastic, poured Tang Xu a cup of tea and pushed it in front of him.

"Thank you." Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, although Tang Xu was unhappy in his heart, it was not easy to refuse, so he planned to drink only his cup. But as soon as Tang Xu brought the teacup to his mouth, his scalp suddenly tingled, and all the memories in the depths of his memory were all hooked up by the taste of this tea.

"How about a cup of the little boy?" The man watched as if he had expected Tang Xu's face to gradually change, and turned his head to persuade Xiao Cui.

"You dare!" Tang Xu dropped the teacup and grabbed the man's collar, Xiaocui was about to excuse himself, but Tang Xu was startled by this action.

"Tang Gongzi is angry, it's just a joke." The man sneered, as if he didn't expect Tang Xu's strength to become so great, and he was busy begging for mercy.

"It turned out to be you." Although Tang Xu was still angry, he was so frightened by him that he really remembered where he had seen this person. It was one of the few people who were captured in Lanzhou City and sold poisoned tea with the Khitans, and that person was also scratched and torn by Tang Xu, who pretended to be crazy, and later it was said that they were all executed, but since he was sitting here alive, there was no need to ask why he was still alive. Tang Xu was a little worried, a little scared and a little funny, the last time we met, I set these people up, but this time I was set up by others, which was even. But why did these people suddenly speak Chinese so well?

"It seems that Tang Gongzi remembered it, so good." The man pushed the tea-set aside, raised his hand and slapped it twice, and immediately someone outside the door came in and removed the tea-set, replaced it with a new one, and brought a number of hot dishes, cold cuts, and delicate snacks.

"Why are you here? Seeking revenge or is there another purpose? Although Tang Xu was afraid, it might not be too late to run now, and the person who appeared with the poisoned tea definitely didn't just want to help him recover his memory, but if he was really looking for revenge, he was afraid that he wouldn't let himself sit here properly.
