Chapter 63: A Friend
"Oh, we only sell hemp seeds in our store, which are used to moisten the intestines and laxative, but there is no hemp seed pollen, and now it is also past the picking season, and it was picked last month, and now it is all fruitful, if Lang Jun wants to buy it, it is estimated that it will be next year."
"I wonder if there's anywhere else?"
"I haven't heard of what it is used for, and its fruit is useful, and it is rare to pick the flowers, Lang Jun can go to the medical insurance hall in Gusu to inquire, there may be there."
"Then bring me a pound of hemp seeds, and licorice?" Chen Fan remembered that licorice was used for detoxification and expectorant, and could be used to detoxify the poison of mandala, so it was natural to prepare some. “
"Yes, Lang Jun wait." After speaking, Shi Langzhong turned around, opened the medicine cabinet quickly, and grabbed two packets to Chen Fan.
"How much?" Chen Fan didn't take it, but asked.
"This is my return gift to Lang Jun, please accept it."
"You have to collect the money, if you want to give me a gift in return, can you arrange someone to help me pick some hemp seed flowers next year, dry them in the shade, and grind them into powder?"
"Okay, then listen to Lang Jun, this medicinal material has a total of ten texts."
"Okay, Hou Feng, pay one hundred and ten wen, and the one hundred wen is the deposit for next year, and Lang Jun will bother with it."
"One hundred is too much, I'll take ten wen."
"A hundred is not much, I need a large amount, Shi Langzhong will do it with money first."
"Okay, then you're welcome."
Chen Fan nodded, said goodbye to Hou Feng, who was holding the medicine, and went out. Where to go? Chen Fan decided to go to Gong Qing's house first, the reason is very simple, it is close to Gong Qing's house.
"Hou Feng, let's go to Qingpu Town in the afternoon, is there a carriage?"
"Yes, I don't know how many people Lang Jun is going to?"
"Four, if Aqing wants to go, let's go together." Chen Fan decided to only call Shang Aqing, and an important task to go this afternoon was to meet the daughter of the shopkeeper, the female crown of Sanqingguan, to see if he could inquire about the situation of Sanqingguan, as for Feng Can and Gong Qing, since they were not from the Daomen, it might be a little inconvenient to talk, so they didn't shout.
"Okay, then just call a carriage, and when I come back, I'll call the carriage."
"Okay, no hurry. Stay and eat lunch first, which one do you think is better in the county? ”
"Mochizuki Tower, the place is not far away, fish and shrimp are the characteristics there, and most people in the county like to go. There is also a place, which is Qingxiang Pavilion, where the beef and mutton are a must, and the belly and lung soup is good, if you like to eat meat, you can choose that. ”
"Okay, I'll stay." Chen Fan decided to seek the opinions of Gong Qing and Feng Can before deciding.
The two walked while talking, and arrived at Gong Qing's house after a while.
The porter obviously knew Chen Fan, and when he saw Chen Fan coming, he said, "Please wait a while." "Fei also ran in and reported.
Listening to the movement, Gong Qing greeted him, "Why is Fa Sheng free today and coming to the cold house?" ”
"It's not that I miss you, I just came back last night, and I was the first one to come to see you today."
"Why don't you come in and sit down, what are you doing standing at the door?"
"No, let's go find Feng Can first, and have a meal together at noon, do you think it's the Moon Tower, or the Qingxiang Pavilion?"
"Is the South Wind Pavilion okay?"
"Yes, you can invite me to go."
"Then it's still Mochizuki Tower." After Gong Qing finished speaking, he said hello to the doorman at home, and walked towards Feng Can with Chen Fan.
"Well, why are you cowardly when it comes to treats? This is not the Gong Qing I know. ”
"I'm going to eat you first, it's called order."
"When is the follow-up?"
"In a few years, when I come out of Tianshui Academy and find a suitable job, I will invite you to Nanfeng Pavilion at that time, how about it?"
"That's what you said, you won't forget it in a few years, right?"
"How come, when did I forget what I promised you?"
It's hard to say, the key is that I forgot about Chen Fan and didn't know, so let's believe it for the time being, "Okay, although the time is a little long, but I'll just listen to it." ”
"Don't worry, I'll invite you when the time comes."
"You went to Tianshui Academy, how are you preparing?"
"There's nothing to prepare, the freshman will report on the 29th, just go to the people, how are you?"
"I have to go to the Taoist temple to study, this is not in Gusu for more than ten days, I met the Taoist priests such as the master of the temple and the hall master, and then practiced for a period of time, and now I have been included in the Taoist temple under the door, and I also went to report on the 29th."
"Fa Sheng, you're going to fly solo."
"No, I have an aunt and cousin, named Xiao Qing, I originally planned to go to the Dry Dao Academy, but now he also goes to Zhenwuguan to cultivate, even if he has a companion, I called him at noon, and you also know him."
"What am I talking to him about, you, forget it, don't talk about it, you have changed a lot during this time, especially your head, which is much better than before."
"No matter how big the change is, we are not friends from childhood to adulthood? Don't worry, I won't leave you, and when I get rich in the future, I will definitely take you with me. ”
"That's what you said, then I'll wish you a fortune as soon as possible." Gong Qing suddenly came to his senses and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll borrow your good words."
The two chatted while walking, and after a while, they arrived at the door of Feng Can's house.
"I'm not going in, you go and call him." The main reason is that he doesn't know Feng Can's family, how to greet him after entering, Chen Fan simply didn't enter.
"Okay, I'll call him."
After a while, the two of them walked out of it.
"It's all here, why don't you come in?"
"Isn't that afraid of causing you trouble? Besides, in order to come to see you earlier, my Gong Qing family didn't even enter, so it's not good to favor one over the other. ”
"Well, where to go now? Mochizuki Tower? ”
"Yes, choose one of the two in Mochizuki Tower or Qingxiang Pavilion, Gong Qing chose Mochiyue Tower, and I will pass by my house in a while, I will call my aunt and cousin Xiao Qing and his master, and the six of them will eat together." After speaking, Chen Fan led everyone and walked home.
"Is your relationship with Xiao Qing getting better now?" Feng Can asked.
"How can you say that it has become better? It's been good. ”
"Didn't you say he was bad?"
"How did I say he was bad? You say, come and listen, why don't I remember? ”
"Gong Qing, I found that some people have thickened their skins now."
"You just found out?"
Chen Fan decided not to answer this, anyway, he wasn't talking about me.
"Hou Feng, you go to the Moon Tower to book a place first, we will include you at noon, a total of six people." Seeing that he is almost home, in Hudu County, safety is not a problem, it is better to let Hou Feng book a place first.
"Okay." After Hou Feng finished speaking, he had to leave like a gust of wind.
"Is this your guard? I haven't seen you bring it before. ”
"When you're away from home, safety comes first. In a place like Gusu, there are a mixture of fish and dragons, which is like our simple and simple people, safe and secure, so my mother arranged a person for me to follow me in the future. When you two go to Tianshui Academy in the future, you should also pay attention to safety, and it is best to walk together and be careful in everything. "It's hard to say about Gong Qing's family, but Feng Can's family probably won't arrange guards for him.
"Tianshui College is not far from our county, and besides, you should live in the college in normal times, and safety should not be a problem."
"I will be with Feng Can in the future, you don't have to worry about us, you still have to worry about yourself. You go to the Taoist temple to study, those people are older than you, and you haven't practiced martial arts, don't be bullied. ”
"I'm also worried, this Hou Feng can't always be by my side, he can't go to school in the Taoist temple, he can't follow him, so I have to tie that Xiao Qingba well."
"Why slap him?"
"He can fight! You don't know, he is actually a martial arts wizard, in the Taoist temple by the hall master of the real martial arts hall to take a fancy to him, he has to accept him as a personal disciple, it is estimated that in our group of students, in terms of martial arts, he wants to say second, no one dares to say first. ”
"He's so good?"
"Yes, when you stay at noon, you coax him more and let him show you his hands. Also, don't spread the news that the hall master of the Zhenwu Hall wants to accept him as a disciple, this is all kept secret in our Taoist temple, you know, those Taoist masters are all about face. ”
"Don't worry, Gong Qing and I understand this."
"What I'm not worried about is you, the little fat man with a black belly, in terms of confidentiality, Gong Qing is much more reliable than you, fortunately, this is not a confidential matter, it doesn't matter if it spreads, if you really want to pass it on, I don't dare to tell you." Chen Fan scolded Feng Can in his heart, and said: "You see that the guard I was just now, if you want to talk about martial arts, he is not Xiao Qing's opponent. "That's the truth.
"Then you want to have a good relationship with him, your parents are not around, if he bullies you, you will be miserable."
"If he dares to bully you, you tell me, and I will call someone to clean him up." Gong Qing took over and said indignantly.
"Alas, it's hard to go out, if I don't hurt my soul, if I don't cultivate the truth, I won't live long, I don't want to go to the Taoist temple to practice." Chen Fan said duplicitously, thought about it, and added: "This can't be heard by others, especially that Xiao Qing, if he spreads this word to the Taoist chief, it will be miserable if I can't get the true transmission in the Taoist temple." ”
"Well, don't worry about this, we'll keep it a secret for you." Feng Can continued.
As for Gong Qing, who usually talks a lot, he is a little absent-minded today and doesn't answer much, most of the time Feng Can is talking.
"Okay, let's go to my house, don't mention any of this, let's have a happy meal, and I'll tell you good news then."
"What's the good news? You say it now. ”
"Stay for a while, I'll call someone, you wait for me." Chen Fan flashed into the house and called Xiao Qing and Huang Shi to come out and go to dinner together.
"You can say it now, what's the good news?" Seeing Chen Fan, who called someone out, Feng Can asked tirelessly.
"It's what I promised you last time, go to Gusu to participate in the chess game, I have helped you implement it, the game is starting on the twelfth day of the lunar month, and you will set off on the tenth day of the lunar month, when my father will send someone to call you, go to Gusu in advance, and you can also play in Gusu." Chen Fan, who originally planned to introduce several people to know each other, had to answer Feng Can's question first.
"That's great, all-inclusive food and lodging, right?" Feng Can blinked at Chen Fan and asked, without the slightest sense of embarrassment.
"That's nature, you just have to take you with you."
Looking at the frolicking Chen Fan and Feng Can, Gong Qing's face was much better, "When the time comes, you will take us to visit Gusu." ”
"Okay, no problem." Chen Fan readily agreed.
"This is Xiao Langjun, Fa Sheng often mentions you in front of us, saying that you are good at martial arts, why do you go out with a sword? It's still relatively safe. Gong Qing saw Xiao Qing and took the initiative to say hello.
"This is Gong Qing, this is Feng Can, the two of me are small, Xiao Qing doesn't need me to say it, this is Xiao Qing's master, you can just call Huang Shi." Chen Fan interjected on the side.
Several people nodded to each other, which was considered a courtesy.
