Chapter 43: First Sight of Fan Xian
Xu Chuan waited for a while, and a very good-looking young man trotted over with a curious face.
Xu Chuan looked at him and knew in his heart that this was Fan Xian.
After seeing him, Xu Chuan found that although Fan Xian was a boy, the word beautiful was used on him, which was really not inconsistent at all.
Eleven or twelve-year-old Fan Xian, his facial features are delicate and delicate, but there are three points of maturity in those dark eyes that do not match his age, which is very special.
He quickly leaned over and asked aloud, "Are you the apprentice of the Great Grandmaster Sigu Sword?" ”
He looked Xu Chuan up and down, and then came to the conclusion that this person looked no less than him.
Xu Chuan smiled and spread his hands and said, "What, isn't it like it?" ”
Fan Xian has always felt that people who always have a smile on their faces are either smiling with a knife hidden in their smile, or they are a honey sword with a belly full of bad water.
But at this moment, Xu Chuan's smile made him feel a trace of relaxation and happiness that he had not seen for a long time.
No, he also laughed and said, "I have always felt that apprentices like such masters have cold faces and sharp looks, it seems that I am wrong." ”
Hearing this, Xu Chuan remembered his senior brother who was always unsmiling, and couldn't help but say: "Actually, it's true, I have a senior brother who is what you say, with a cold face, and he always feels like everyone owes him money." ”
Although the two met for the first time, they had a lot of fun chatting.
There seems to be a special tacit understanding between each other, which is difficult to say, but it is real.
Probably because they all came to this world from a highly developed modern society.
The underlying macro cognition is similar, which makes them feel familiar in this strange world for a long time.
Some of Xu Chuan's original plans have also changed in this chat.
At this time, a maid came over, quietly leaned into Fan Xian's ear and said, "Young master, the old lady is in a hurry, and you still don't invite guests in?" ”
Fan Xian patted his head and said, "Oh, I forgot to talk about it, big brother, let's talk about it first." ”
Xu Chuan, who was stunned by this big brother's call, glanced at Fan Xian, who was smiling brightly, and smiled: "Then disturb." ”
Fan Xian led him into the Earl of Sinan's Mansion, and Tayun, who stayed in place, also had someone to take care of him.
In the dining room, an old lady with snow-white hair and very good care sat on the Taishi chair and looked at him quietly.
Xu Chuan stepped forward and said: "I have seen the old lady, the younger Xu Chuan, the teacher of Jianlu, passing through here, I came to visit." ”
The old lady looked at him for a long time before she said softly, "It's a guest from afar, let's sit down and have a meal together." ”
Xu Chuan didn't know what impression he had left in the eyes of this old lady, but even if this old lady's identity was not simple, there should be no conflict with him.
What's more, in his eyes, this is just an old lady, that's all.
He nodded and sat down on a chair facing southeast.
Fan Xian also quickly sat on the other side.
After the hosts were seated, the people all moved up and began to serve the food.
Soon, there were more than a dozen dishes on a large table.
After the dishes were served, all the subordinates did not leave to go to the backyard to eat, but looked at their beautiful little master, swallowing saliva.
Of course, it's not that they want to eat Fan Xian, but the rules in this mansion are that whenever he eats in the mansion, he must taste every dish and express his satisfaction before others are allowed to eat.
It stands to reason that Xu Chuan doesn't know this rule, but he is a guest, and if the host doesn't say it, it will naturally be inconvenient for him to move the chopsticks first.
Fan Xian pulled a few dishes, glanced at Xu Chuan and said: "Big brother, you don't know the customs of our Tangzhou, but whenever a guest comes, the host must try the dish first, and only after being satisfied can he give it to the guest to show respect for the guest." ”
Xu Chuan nodded, indicating understanding, and stretched out his hand, signaling that he could start.
As a result, the entire canteen was left with only the slight sound of Fan Xian snorting as he chewed his food and drank the soup.
Fan Xian eats very slowly, and it looks very fragrant, but eating under the gaze of many pairs of eyes, it is difficult for him to get used to Xu Chuan.
He could only say that in order to prevent the people who wanted to poison him from implicating the people around him, Fan Xian had worked very hard.
Compared with novels and TV, seeing this scene with his own eyes made Xu Chuan have a deeper touch on Fan Xian.
After a long time, Fan Xian finished eating everyone's dishes, smiled sweetly, pointed to a plate of stir-fried bamboo artemisia, and instructed his subordinates: "I like to eat this dish." ”
The maids and servants suddenly smelled fairy music, and those who were okay could finally go to the backyard to eat first, of course, there was also a servant who went to the kitchen alone, brought up all the remaining fried bamboo artemisia, and put it in front of Fan Xian.
After he saluted the old lady and handed over the food, he said to Xu Chuan with a smile: "Big brother, you can eat." ”
Xu Chuan picked up the chopsticks, pointed to the two plates of fried bamboo artemisia in front of him, and said, "I really like to eat this, why don't you share a plate with me?" ”
Fan Xian made a difficulty, his eyes rolled, and he said: "Big brother, this thing is cold, and it is easy to hurt the stomach when eaten, so forget it." ”
Xu Chuan said with a smile: "I'm in Dongyi City, I've eaten countless delicacies, and I really want to try it if it hurts my stomach." ”
Fan Xian wanted to persuade again, but the old lady suddenly spoke.
"Okay, since the guest wants to eat, give him a good meal, you are so piety, you still think that our Nanbo Mansion has neglected the guests of Dongyi City."
Seeing the old lady speak, Fan Xian could only helplessly bring a plate of fried bamboo artemisia to Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan looked very gentle when he ate, but the speed was really dissatisfied, Fan Xian had just eaten two chopsticks, and the plate of fried bamboo artemisia in front of Xu Chuan was eaten cleanly.
Fan Xian watched this scene dumbfounded, and he couldn't stop it.
He looked at Xu Chuan and asked tentatively, "Big brother, are you uncomfortable?" ”
Xu Chuan glanced at him in surprise and said, "Why do you ask that?" He reached out and grabbed a piece of meat and said, "Do you think I feel uncomfortable?" ”
He took two bites, and suddenly pointed to the plate of fried bamboo artemisia in front of Fan Xian, and asked out loud, "Or I can get this plate too." ”
Fan Xian looked at him in a daze and began to doubt his judgment.
He didn't believe in evil and grabbed a chopstick and began to chew it, and soon, his expression changed, and if nothing else, this dish must be poisonous.
And it is very likely that the highly toxic 'cat button' commonly used by those secret agents of the inspection institute.
The poison does not attack immediately, but only when the poison enters the body with the bloodstream before it kills.
However, if the dose is large, the time of attack will be much earlier.
And that whole plate of fried bamboo artemisia, no matter how you look at it, the dosage has seriously exceeded the standard.
