Chapter 241 Discovered   "Going to the college? Which college?" Xie Cheng asked.   "Qingfeng College."   "Yeah." Xie Cheng nodded, "This college is good, and the way down the mountain into the city is not too far. It will be there in about two quarters of an hour."   Tang Xi nodded, "I plan to buy a yard near the shop, but I don't know any brokers."   "Hmm?" Xie Cheng narrowed his eyes and said with some displeasure: "Looking for a broker, have you ever thought of looking for me?"   "It's not that I don't want to find you, but I see that you are too tired and don't want to trouble you."   She explained, but Xie Cheng was still a little dissatisfied.   She said unhappily: "What's wrong with you? Is it wrong to feel sorry for you?"   "That's right, but..." He curled his lips slightly, stared at her, and said with a doting look: "As long as you look for me, I won't feel tired."   He wished she could bother him all the time, so that he could always see her.   Tang Xi really didn't expect that Xie Cheng, who was cold in the past, would say a lot of love words.   Not to mention Tang Xi, even Mo Yi, who had been with Xie Cheng since childhood, couldn't help but be stunned.   After being stunned, he couldn't help but envy that if he was half as good as his master, he wouldn't be alone until now.   "It's getting late, you, you should go back to the city earlier."   Tang Xi pulled her hand back and urged with her eyes down.   Her skin was so white that it was particularly obvious when it turned red.   The little girl looked so beautiful when she was shy!   Xie Cheng smiled, rubbed her head gently and said, "Then I'm leaving."   "Yeah." Tang Xi nodded.   "Remember to think of me."   Tang Xi nodded again, but still didn't raise her head.   Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Don't you have anything to say to me?" "   Have a good trip."   Okay, there's no rush anyway.   Xie Cheng smiled and whispered, "Go back."   Tang Xi shook her head, "I'll go back after you leave."   "Okay!"   Xie Cheng smiled silently, walked to the front of the carriage, and turned around again.   Tang Xi met his eyes, smiled at him, waved and said, "Goodbye."   Xie Cheng nodded slightly, "This time, I'm really leaving."   Tang Xi nodded, "You go quickly."   In order to prevent the little girl from standing in the wind, Xie Cheng had to get on the carriage.   However, when the carriage left, he still lifted the curtain and kept looking at her, until he turned the corner and the carriage was hidden in a forest, and his gaze finally disappeared.   Tang Xi looked at the direction where the carriage left, and a peaceful smile rose at the corner of her lips.   "Axi, you and City Lord Xie..."   Tang Zheng had stood behind her without knowing when, with shock and suspicion in his eyes.   Tang Xi was slightly stunned, "Dad, when did you come?"   "I just wanted to see City Lord Xie off, but I didn't expect..." Tang Zheng coughed lightly, "Axi, City Lord Xie and us are not the same kind of people after all, have you thought about it?"   He had lived in Xie's mansion, and such a family was incompatible with them after all.   Knowing what he meant by "not on the same path", Tang Xi smiled and said, "If we are not on the same path, then try to become his companion."   "Well." Tang Zheng nodded and sighed, "You have grown up now. Dad respects your choice."   Tang Xi smiled calmly and said nothing.   "You went to Zhongwang Village today and met Liu and the others?"   The smile on Tang Xi's lips paused slightly, and she said calmly, "Why do you ask this?"   Could it be that Tang Zheng is still thinking about Liu?   She said with a serious expression, "Dad, I said that if you can't let go of Liu, you can go back and be with her, but from now on, I will treat you as an old father."   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 242 The reason why Yang is   so arrogant "Dad knows what's going on. How could Dad still miss her after she treated you like that?" Tang Zheng said helplessly, "Dad just heard your cousin's wife mention it, so I wanted to ask, did she do anything to you?"   Hearing this, Tang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "What can she do to me? Don't worry, Dad. Things are different now. She can't bully me."   "That's good!" Tang Zheng nodded, as if he remembered something, looked at her and said, "Dad heard from your cousin that your aunt sent someone a letter a few months ago, saying that she wanted to come and see us. However, we were fleeing in a hurry at that time, and the person couldn't find us, so he told your cousin."   Tang Xi really didn't have much impression of this aunt, mainly because she hadn't seen her for too long and could hardly remember what she looked like.   "Dad, what you mean is that your aunt may not know about the disaster that happened in our Luobian Town?"   "Yes." Tang Zheng nodded. "Your aunt married far away, and it takes a month to ride in a carriage to come here. Dad is afraid that she will go to Gaopo Village and not see anyone."   Tang Xi pondered for a while before saying, "Or, I'll go back to Beisang City to take a look, and visit my grandparents by the way."   "You want to go back to Beisang City?" Tang Zheng said, "Or, Dad will go back with you."   "If Dad follows me, what about Xiao?" Tang Xi shook her head. "It will take two months to go back and forth, and Xiao is still young and can't stand the trouble."   The main reason is that she is being watched by the people in Anyang Palace. She is not afraid of herself, but if she takes Tang Zheng with her, she may not be able to distract herself to protect him.   "Forget it." Tang Zheng's eyes darkened. "You go to your grandmother's house. If they are willing, you can bring them over for dad. I will help out at the farm next door these days. I can earn two taels of silver a month. Although I can't give them a rich life, they should be able to have enough food and clothing. It can be considered that dad is doing his filial duty for your mother."   "The farm next door?" Tang Xi raised an eyebrow. "What do I do?"   Tang Zheng said, "Miscellaneous work, such as weeding and picking fruit. Oh, these two days, I helped pick pears in the pear orchard near our farm."   "Ahem..."   Tang Xi couldn't help coughing a few times after hearing this. "Dad, actually, you don't have to do anything. If you feel free, you can help me look after the herbs in the shed. I can support you."   "It's not far anyway. It's next door, separated by a forest. Dad asked your Aunt Qin to ask the manager there for help to find this job. Two taels a month is not a small amount."   "But Dad, don't you know how to farm?" Tang Xi was a little skeptical.   "It's just that I'm not good at it, not that I can't do it." Tang Zheng smiled and said, "Dad grew up in the countryside since he was a child, how could he not know how to farm?"   "But I've never seen you farm before, and you sold our family's land to my uncle."   Tang Zheng sighed, "That's because I don't want to embarrass your uncle. You also know your aunt's temper. Can you get back anything that falls into her hands?"   "My aunt is just a woman, why is my uncle so afraid of her?" Tang Xi was puzzled.   "I'm not afraid of your aunt, but her brothers and sisters." Tang Zheng said, "Your uncle has resisted before, and in the end, he was almost strangled to death by the fifth son of the Yang family."   Tang Xi was stunned. The original owner rarely cared about the affairs of Tang Yong's family, and rarely interacted with Yang, so he didn't know how many people there were in Yang's family.   No wonder the people in the village let Yang do whatever she wanted at that time. It seems that there is such a large group of people behind her.   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 243 Qingfeng College   A few days later   , near the mountains in the south of Hanshui City, a carriage slowly moved from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, until it reached the gate of a college. The woman in black reined in the horse and stopped the carriage.   The curtain was lifted, and the girl's fair and rosy face poked out. On both sides of her, two small blue heads poked out.   "Sister, are we there?" Tang Xiao asked.   Tang Xi stared at the "Qingfeng College" plaque hanging high on the gate and nodded, "We are here."   Qingfeng College is surrounded by mountains and rivers, far away from the hustle and bustle, suitable for students to study in peace and quiet.   Kong Yue said in a light voice: "I won't go in."   Tang Xi nodded, "Then you wait for us here."   Kong Yue nodded slightly and leaned against the carriage and waited.   The gatekeeper was a white-haired old man in his seventies. Hearing the sound outside the door, the old man leaned on a cane and hobbled over to open the door.   "Miss, what are you..."   Seeing one adult and two children, the old man asked in a hoarse voice.   "Hello, old man!" Tang Xi held Tang Xiao's left hand and Tang Zhaodi's right hand, and bowed slightly to the old man, "I am sending my younger brother here to study."   "Study!" The old man nodded, "Did you bring the recommendation letter?"   "Yes, it's here." Tang Xi let go of the two, took out an envelope from the cloth bag, and handed it to the old man.   After taking it, the old man looked at it for a long time, nodded, and returned the recommendation letter to Tang Xi, "So it was recommended by Master Guan, go in quickly."   Tang Xi nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, old man!"   Qingfeng College is a college with a long history in Hanshui City. The students here are either excellent in academic performance or rich or noble.   It has an admission threshold, which is that it needs a recommendation from a prestigious person. Master Guan is the cousin of Doctor Guan. He has been teaching here for more than 20 years and can be regarded as an old man in the college.   It was the time for school to end. Under the big tree, the corridor was full of people, including children of a few years old, teenagers, middle-aged people and even the elderly.   They were either reciting, or discussing the questions raised by the teacher in class today, or gathered in groups of three or five to chat and laugh.   Seeing Tang Xi and the other two approaching, they all stopped to watch.   "What are you doing here, girl?"   A well-mannered and handsome boy holding a textbook came forward and asked softly.   There were "ah~" sounds all around, and the boy's face was slightly dry, and he glared at the group of people who made the noise with displeasure.   Someone teased, "Brother Qu, did you see the little beauty and forget about our junior sister?"   "Nonsense!" The handsome young man frowned again and said unhappily, "The master said that we should help others. I saw that this girl seemed to be looking for something, so I asked kindly. I have no other intentions."   Tang Xi saw that he was serious and felt amused. "I am indeed looking for someone. Sir, do you know where Master Guan is?"   "So, you are here to find Master Guan?" The young man smiled slightly, "I know where he is. Please follow me."   "Then thank you very much!"   "Please!" After the young man said this, he put his hand holding the book behind his back and made a gesture of invitation with the other hand.   Tang Xi nodded slightly, took Tang Xiao and Tang Zhaodi, who were looking left and right, and followed the young man.   "Is the girl the granddaughter of Master Guan?" The young man asked, looking at her curiously.   "No!" Tang Xi said, "I know Doctor Guan. My younger brother wants to study at Qingfeng College, so Doctor Guan told me to go find Master Guan after I come to the college. He will help with the follow-up."   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 244 Doctor Guan   "I see!"   The young man glanced at Tang Xiao beside her and said with a smile, "I guess this is your brother?"   Tang Xi smiled and nodded, "That's right!"   "Hello, brother!" Tang Xiao greeted him obediently.   The young man smiled and nodded at Tang Xiao, and then turned his gaze back to Tang Xi. "   My name is Qu Yi. May I know your name, young lady?" "Qu Yi?" Tang Xi was curious. "Who is Qu Jing to you?"   Qu Yi was slightly stunned and said in surprise, "Young lady   , do you know my brother?" "So he is the son of the Qu family. I have met your brother twice," Tang Xi said, and introduced, "My name is Tang Xi, this is my younger brother Tang Xiao, and this is my niece Tang Zhaodi."   "Tang Xi?" Qu Yi's eyes suddenly widened. "Are you the little genius doctor that your brother mentioned?"   Tang Xi smiled slightly. "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be me."   "It's really you!" Qu Yi bowed slightly to her and said, "I didn't expect to see the little genius doctor in the academy. It's really an honor!"   Tang Xi took two steps back. "Young Master Qu is too polite.   " "I'm sorry to scare you!" Qu Yi scratched the back of his head awkwardly.   Tang Xi smiled and shook his head. "It's okay."   "It's here!"   Not long after walking, Qu Yi stopped in a small courtyard full of flowers and plants.   He looked at Tang Xi and said, "Wait here for a while, I'll go knock on the door."   Tang Xi nodded slightly, Qu Yi stepped forward and knocked on the door a few times, then said to the courtyard, "Master Guan, someone is looking for you, are you there?"   Not long after, an old man walked out of the house calmly, "Qu Yi, why are you here?"   Qu Yi said, "Master Guan, there is a girl looking for you!"   "Miss?" The old man frowned slightly, and then suddenly realized. He stepped forward to open the fence door, looked past Qu Yi and looked back. When he saw Tang Xi, his face was serious and he said, "Are you the little Miss Tang?"   Tang Xi took the uncle and nephew forward, bowed slightly to Doctor Guan and said, "It's me."   Master Guan nodded slightly, "Come in first and talk."   Several people followed him into the yard. Qu Yi whispered to Tang Xi, "Doctor Guan's conditions for accepting students are too strict. Although your brother has a letter of recommendation, if he can't pass this test, he still can't enter Qingfeng College to study."   Tang Xi was a little worried after hearing this. Tang Xiao has been familiar with "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names" recently, but what if Doctor Guan is strict and asks something else?   "Sit down."   After Doctor Guan entered the house, he took the first seat, and then stretched out his hand to signal several people to take a seat.   After everyone sat down, Master Guan's eyes fell on Tang Xiao, "What books have you read?"   Tang Xiao stood up and saluted in a formal manner, saying, "Master, I have read "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names."   "How old are you?" Master Guan asked again.   Tang Xiao replied obediently, "I am already six years old."   "Yeah!" Master Guan nodded with satisfaction, "How many sentences are there in "Three Character Classic", do you know?"   Tang Xiao nodded, "Yes, there are a total of 378 sentences."   Master Guan nodded slightly, "Recite sentences 9 to 16."   "Yes!" Tang Xiao bowed respectfully, and then recited: "If a child is not taught, it is the fault of the father. If the child is not taught strictly, it is the laziness of the teacher. If a child does not learn, it is not appropriate..." He recited it fluently   , with almost no pause.   Tang Xi smiled with satisfaction, and Tang Zhaodi admired him, "Uncle Xiao is really amazing!"   Doctor Guan glanced at Tang Xi and the others, and said to Tang Xiao, "Remember, when you are praised, don't be arrogant or impatient. Come to the academy for class tomorrow morning."   "Yes, I remember! Thank you, Master!"   He answered in a serious and childish voice, and Tang Xi thought he was cute.   (End of this chapter)

Chapter 245 Picky Eaters   After Qu Yi led Tang Xi to pay the tuition, he escorted the three of them out of the academy.   "Thank you so much for today, Mr. Qu!"   "You're welcome! You cured my grandparents of insomnia, so this little favor is nothing," Qu Yi said with a soft smile, "In the future, if the little doctor needs my help in other areas, Qu Yi will definitely be there for you."   Tang Xi smiled, "I have nothing else to say. My little brother will study here in the future, so please help take care of him, Mr. Qu." Qu Yi smiled and   nodded, "Of course!"   After bidding farewell to Qu Yi, Tang Xi led Tang Xiao and Tang Zhaodi to sit in the carriage and left the academy.   "That was Mr. Qu just now?" Kong Yue asked.   Tang Xi lifted the curtain and said, "It was him."   "Do you know him, young lady?"   Tang Xi said, "This is the first time we met today."   She raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at the dark back of Kong Yue's head and said, "Why are you asking this?"   "No, I just don't believe it. That's the young master of the Qu family."   "Why don't you believe it?" Tang Xi was puzzled.   Kong Yue said, "I believe you have seen the appearance of Mr. Qu. I have seen the master and the lady of the Qu family. They have good temperament, but their appearance is ordinary. I didn't expect that the young master of the Qu family is so handsome."   "Maybe the young master of the Qu family takes after the old lady Qu?" Tang Xi said, "Although the old lady Qu is old, you can tell from the look of her that she must have been a beauty when she was young."   Kong Yue smiled faintly, "Maybe."   "I didn't expect you to pay attention to these things."   She thought that the shadow guards were all aloof.   Kong Yue said, "I pay attention occasionally. Are you going to Xie's mansion?"   Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, "What am I going to Xie's mansion for?"   Kong Yue: "Miss, when you go to the city, don't you want to see the master?"   Tang Xi smiled lightly, "See you tomorrow, go to my shop."   Kong Yue took the order, and after the carriage went down the mountain, he drove directly to the direction of the shop.   "Sister, didn't the city lord brother say that he would ask someone to make stewed elbows for us? Aren't we going?"   Speaking of the stewed elbows in Xie's mansion, Tang Xiao couldn't help swallowing her saliva.   Tang Xi said, "Actually, the braised pork elbows made by my sister are not bad either. How about we go buy some pork elbows today and wait until we get back to the farm, and my sister will cook them for you?"   Tang Xiao curled her lips, "My sister's cooking is not as good as Aunt Qin's."   Tang Xi: ... This naughty child has only lived in Xie's house for a short time, how come he is so picky?   Tang Zhaodi said, "Aunt Xi's spicy stir-fried pickled cucumbers are the best."   "Xie's spicy stir-fried winter bamboo shoots are also delicious, as well as eggplant roast chicken, peach kernel chicken, candied apples, braised spareribs, almond tofu, wheat ear shrimp rolls, etc., all delicious!"   Seeing Tang Xiao counting the dishes one by one with his fingers, Tang Xi was simply at a loss whether to laugh or cry.   She didn't even remember what she had eaten, but this little foodie even remembered the names.   She raised her eyebrows slightly and pretended to be serious and said, "Have you forgotten what elder sister told you?"   "I know!" Tang Xiao replied, "You can't be picky about food, but elder sister herself is picky about food. Elder sister doesn't even eat radishes."   The voice of Kong Yue's faint smile came in, and Tang Xi was embarrassed. How could this child remember all these and not something else?   She really didn't like to eat radishes, not any kind of radishes.   She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Who said elder sister doesn't eat them? Think about it, has elder sister ever eaten the radishes that our family used to grow?"   She didn't like to eat them, but the original owner had eaten a lot of them because there was no choice at that time.   Tang Xiao thought about it and it was indeed the case. In the past, elder sister was really not picky and would eat whatever was given to her.

 Chapter 246 Fang Que is busy on the street   "It's so lively! It's more lively than our Luobian Town."   As soon as the carriage drove into the street, the sound of hawking reached her ears.   Tang Zhaodi, who was entering the city for the first time, lifted the curtain of the carriage and curiously stared at the surging crowd and carriages outside.   Tang Xiao also came over and sniffed hard by the window. "It smells like meat buns, so fragrant!"   Tang Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.   Tang Zhaodi pointed to a place not far away and said, "Uncle Xiao, look, someone is selling candied haws over there."   Because there were so many people, the carriage was moving slower. The two children stared at the food and counted it one by one.   Tang Xi didn't feel hungry at first, but after listening to the two people shouting here and there, plus the various aromas coming to her nose, she couldn't help but be greedy.   "Sister, what is that?"   There happened to be a carriage blocking the way ahead, and Kong Yue stopped the carriage in front of a pastry shop.   Tang Xi looked in the direction Tang Xiao pointed, and saw a tray of three-color cakes in the steamer.   Tang Xi said, "That's three-color cake."   "It looks delicious." Tang Xiao looked at Tang Zhaodi and asked, "Zhaodi, do you want to eat it?"   Tang Zhaodi nodded. Tang Xiao looked at Tang Xi expectantly and said, "Sister, Zhaodi wants to eat three-color cake. Buy her a few pieces."   "Really?" Tang Xi curled her lips and raised her eyebrows and asked, "So, you don't want to eat it?"   Tang Xiao blushed slightly and nodded, "Yes!"   Tang Xi laughed dumbly, "Do you want to go down and walk?"   She had been in Hanshui City for so long, and she really hadn't taken the little guy shopping.   "Yes!" The two nodded at the same time.   "Then we have a deal. After we go down, you have to hold my hand tightly and don't let go. Do you understand?"   The two nodded again, "Yes!"   Tang Xi said to Kong Yue, and then carried the two off the carriage and went to the pastry shop to buy a few three-color cakes.   "What's going on in front?" Seeing that there was no movement in front for a long time, Tang Xi asked the proprietress of the pastry shop curiously.   After the proprietress wrapped the pastries in oil paper, she said, "I heard that it was Fang Que who got drunk from somewhere and is lying on the street cursing the people in the Qu Mansion. Everyone tried to persuade him but to no avail. He just insisted on lying there."   "Fang Que?" Tang Xi raised an eyebrow, "Is he the master of the Fang Mansion?"   "Really?" The proprietress whispered, "Didn't he cause trouble in the Jimin Hall before? It is said that Doctor Guan has some friendship with the city lord, so he wrote a letter and had it sent to the Qu Mansion, asking them to punish Fang Que. Later, Fang Que was taken to the Qu Mansion, where he was scolded by Old Madam Qu, who threatened that if he did it again, she would cut off all ties with the Fang family."   "What happened next?" Tang Xi asked.   The proprietress said disdainfully: "That's why he cursed after drinking some horse urine because he was holding a grudge."   Tang Xi asked curiously: "What did he curse about the Qu family?"   "He cursed that the Qu family was biased, saying that the Qu family favored others but not his relative. Oh, by the way, he even cursed the city lord, saying that the city lord was meddling in other people's business. No wonder..." The proprietress looked around and whispered: "No wonder your parents died early."   Tang Xi's eyes turned slightly cold, "What about now? Are you still cursing?"   "Someone from the government office is here, and they are preparing to carry the person away. Look."   Tang Xi looked in the direction pointed by the proprietress, and sure enough, he saw people from the government office carrying a middle-aged man who was tied up and thrown onto the carriage board.   After a while, the road was open again, and both sides of the street were full of people, who seemed to be talking about what Fang Que had done just now.   The proprietress shook her head. "This Fang Que is really stupid. He doesn't even think about how long the Fang family has been in decline. If it weren't for the help from the Qu family, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to open their shop. Now that he's making such a fuss in public, I'm afraid the Qu family will be disappointed."   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 247 Meeting Hua Xuan Again   "Little beauty!"   A familiar voice came from the side. Tang Xi looked up and saw Hua Xuan, dressed as a scholar, waving at her in front of a mask stall.   Tang Xi frowned slightly, "Why are you here?"   Hua Xuan took a few steps forward and smiled, answering the question irrelevantly: "Is this the legendary fate?"   "Sister, who is this brother?" Tang Xiao stared at Hua Xuan with big eyes, curiously.   Tang Xi said, "I don't know him."   Hua Xuan sighed lightly, looked at Tang Xiao and Tang Zhaodi and said with a smile: "Two little friends, are the cakes delicious? Do you want to buy a mask?"   "You... are not selling masks?" Tang Xi was stunned.   "Life is forced!" Hua Xuan looked helpless.   In order to find Feng Ruoqian, he traveled through mountains and rivers for so long that he had used up all the silver on him. These masks were exchanged with the stall owner with the few dozen coins he had left.   He originally had 100,000 taels of silver notes on him, but because of other things, he spent it all...   "It's really pitiful that the young palace master of the Poison Sect has fallen to the point of selling masks." Tang Xi looked at him and said, "How much are the masks?"   Hua Xuan said, "I bought ten from the stall owner. The purchase price is five cents. My little beauty, how about I sell them to you for six cents, and you be kind enough to let me earn a few cents?"   Seeing that Tang Xi was indifferent, he pursed his lips and said aggrievedly, "Please be kind, I can't afford to eat. When I find the person I'm looking for, I will ask him to return the money to you, double the amount, how about it?"   Now, there are people from the Poison Sect watching his junior sister, and he can't go directly to the Yanhong Tavern. He has all the silver on him, and when he was thinking about whether to rely on his beauty to sell the ten masks in his hand, he saw Tang Xi in the crowd.   "You are looking for someone?" Tang Xi asked knowingly, "Who are you looking for? A man or a woman?"   "I..." Hua Xuan smiled suddenly, "Don't worry about whether I am looking for a man or a woman, just tell me, do you want to buy this mask or not?"   Tang Xi looked at the masks in his hands, each one more hideous and ugly than the other, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "I won't buy the mask. It's so ugly that it will scare the children."   "What's ugly about it?" Hua Xuan disagreed, "I just think it's good."   "You really don't plan to tell me who you are looking for?" Tang Xi smiled, "I am City Lord Xie's... friend. If you tell me, maybe one day when I am in a good mood, I will ask City Lord Xie to find that person for you?"   "Oh!" Hua Xuan suddenly realized, "How could I forget your little lover? It is definitely more reliable to find him than to find that Fei Ge Sect. What a crappy sect. They want to charge me ten thousand taels of silver for a piece of information. Why don't they rob them?"   "Ten thousand taels?" Tang Xi was stunned, "It's so expensive?"   "Isn't it?" Hua Xuan looked disgusted, "You don't even know if the information is reliable, but you want to take money from me? You're dreaming."   Tang Xi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "The question is, can you take out 10,000 taels?"   "Whether you can take it out is my business, but if they take too much, it's their fault." Hua Xuan snorted, "In the past, everyone was respectful to me. Now even a flying bird sect dares to bully me. It's really unreasonable!"   "Big brother, can you sell me two of these masks?" Tang Xiao rummaged in his pocket, and soon he took out a piece of silver and handed it to Hua Xuan, "Is this enough?"   This is all his family assets. He couldn't even afford to buy cakes. If it weren't for the fact that this brother was so pitiful, he wouldn't have been willing to take it out.   "Oh, forget it!" Hua Xuan took two and gave them to Tang Xiao and Tang Zhaodi respectively, "Don't charge, I'll give them to you."   The two thanked him obediently: "Thank you, big brother!"   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 248 Tang Xi takes Hua Xuan to find Feng Ruoqian   Tang Xi sighed, "You can barely afford to eat, and you're still so kind?"   Hua Xuan winked at her and smiled, "Because I'm kind."   Tang Xi rolled her eyes at him, she looked around, lowered her voice and asked Hua Xuan, "Is the person you're looking for Feng Ruoqian?"   Hua Xuan's smile froze, and then his eyes lit up, "Do you know where he is?"   "Yeah!" Tang Xi nodded.   Hua Xuan threw down the other masks piled up in his hands and said excitedly, "Then take me to see him."   This is really a case of looking for something without any effort!   Tang Xi's lips curled slightly, "You can take you to see him, but you have to agree to one condition."   "You tell me, no matter what the conditions are, I will agree to them all." As long as he can see Feng Ruoqian.   "That's right, Feng Ruoqian opened a teahouse, and the tea is too expensive. I can't afford it. Can you..."   "I'll ask him to give it to you for free for life!"   Before she finished her words, Hua Xuan couldn't wait to answer, "Little beauty, take me to see him!"   He was too lazy to find out how Tang Xi knew that he was looking for Feng Ruoqian. He only knew that seeing Feng Ruoqian was the most important thing.   "Wait a moment!"   Tang Xi temporarily handed Tang Xiao and Tang Zhaodi to Kong Yue, and asked Kong Yue to take them to the shop to wait for him, and then said to Hua Xuan: "Let's go."   "Who is that person?" Kong Yue stared at the back of Hua Xuan who was disguised as a scholar with suspicion, and always felt that this person was not simple.   It seems that it is better to inform her master, otherwise, if Miss Tang encounters any accident, she will really be guilty.   After walking for a while, Tang Xi couldn't help but ask the question in her heart, "What is the relationship between you and Master Feng?"   "Master Feng?" Hua Xuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Is that what you call him?"   "I think so." Tang Xi said, "I heard others call him that."   Seeing that Hua Xuan didn't answer, she couldn't help but remind him, "You haven't answered my question yet."   Hua Xuan smiled and said, "A confidant."   "Just a confidant?" Tang Xi didn't believe it.   Hua Xuan hissed softly and looked at her in doubt, "Little beauty is so interested in the story between us?"   Tang Xi nodded several times, her eyes surprisingly bright.   Unexpectedly, Hua Xuan just smiled and said nothing.   Just when Tang Xi sighed in disappointment, Hua Xuan suddenly said, "We have tried our best to find the relationship between each other."   Tang Xi pursed her lips and smiled, "I can see it."   "You don't mind?" Hua Xuan said calmly, "They all say it's disgusting, even my mother said so."   Tang Xi opened her eyes wide and said, "Love has no gender, just like it."   "Do you really think so?" Hua Xuan was surprised.   "Isn't it?" Tang Xi asked back.   Hua Xuan smiled. He didn't expect that those old antiques who had lived for decades could not see things as clearly as a teenage girl.   "I like your personality." He smiled and said, "You are thirteen, and I am twelve years older than you. However, from now on, we will be friends regardless of age."   "Friends regardless of age?" Tang Xi nodded with a smile, "Okay."   In fact, Hua Xuan was only three years older than her, so they could not be considered friends regardless of age.   "It's strange." Hua Xuan looked at her suspiciously and said, "Sometimes I even doubt that you are more than thirteen years old."   Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, "Then how old do you think I am?"   Hua Xuan looked at her seriously for a long time, "On the surface, you are indeed thirteen or fourteen years old, but your speech and behavior are more than thirteen. However, this is not new. He is just like that."   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 249 Is it the same as before   ? "He?" Tang Xi was puzzled for a moment.   "Feng Ruoqian." Hua Xuan smiled and said, "When he was young, he behaved properly and always took other people's feelings into consideration. When I first met him, he was only nine years old, but he really looked like an old man."   Tang Xi was surprised, "You are childhood sweethearts, right? Are you two innocent little kids?"   "Not really. We met formally when he was sixteen. At that time, we were drinking tea in a small teahouse. He thought the tea brewed by the owner was tasteless, so he brewed a pot of tea by himself. I tasted that tea. I have to say that the craftsmanship is good and the taste is excellent. From then on, he was determined to open a teahouse to let more people who like tea taste the taste of good tea."   After saying that, he lowered his head slightly, with a gentle smile on his lips.   Tang Xi sighed secretly, and somehow, he also laughed.   "You have been in Hanshui City for quite some time. The teahouse opened by Master Feng is very famous in Hanshui City. You can ask anyone and maybe you can find out."   Hua Xuan smiled bitterly, "I asked, but no one knows who Feng Ruoqian is."   "No one knows?" Tang Xi frowned slightly, "Could it be that Master Feng does not reveal his real name in Hanshui City?"   Is it true that only Xie Cheng knows Feng Ruoqian's true identity?   "Maybe." Hua Xuan said, "After all, he also has to avoid people in the medical field, so it is understandable that he uses an alias."   "Isn't Boss Lin a member of the Poison Sect? She has lived in Hanshui City for several years. She wouldn't know, right?" Tang Xi was a little skeptical.   "Her?" Hua Xuan snorted coldly, "She should be controlled by the old witch in my house. Even if she knows, she may not tell me the truth."   "Old witch?"   "It's my mother." Hua Xuan sighed and said, "I escaped from the Poison Sect secretly." Tang   Xi raised his eyebrows, "Then you said that you were chased by someone before. Could it be someone from your Poison Sect?"   "No." Hua Xuan shook his head, "It was just some minions I provoked on the road. There is nothing to be afraid of."   "We're here!"   When he reached the intersection, Tang Xi stopped in front of the Linhe Teahouse.   "You mean, Feng Ruoqian is in there?"   Hua Xuan was a little afraid to accept it. After all, he had walked this street several times, but never thought of entering this teahouse.   "Yes." Tang Xi nodded, "I came here to drink tea. Feng Ruoqian is the owner of this teahouse."   Hua Xuan laughed at himself, his eyes slightly red.   That person was in there, but he missed it several times. Could it be that even fate didn't want them to reunite?   Tang Xi smiled at him, "Go in quickly, he may be waiting for you."   Seeing him staring at the teahouse in front of him, but standing there motionless, Tang Xi was a little suspicious, "What's wrong?" "   It's been five years, I don't know if he is still the same as before." Hua Xuan looked a little hesitant. He   was full of passion when he didn't find him, but now, seeing that he was about to meet, he was a little hesitant.   Tang Xi said, "Are you afraid that he has changed his mind?"   Hua Xuan did not answer, as if he acquiesced to her doubts.   Tang Xi smiled slightly, "There is a famous tea in this teahouse, called Chujian. The tea is a little bitter when you first taste it, but it leaves a lingering sweetness after you drink it. It is said that it was the first tea that Master Feng drank when he first met his sweetheart. The reason why it was named Chujian was to let his sweetheart know that he always missed the scene when he first met that person. Mr. Hua, have you tasted this kind of tea?"   Hua Xuan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her in shock. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time.   (End of this chapter)  

Chapter 250 Wild Man

  Tang Xi smiled and said, "Go in, he's been waiting for you."   Hua Xuan closed his eyes slightly, and smiled for a long time, "Thank you!"   Tang Xi blinked at him slightly, and smiled, "We are friends regardless of age, go in."   "Yeah!"   Hua Xuan nodded, with a faint smile in his eyes.   He looked at the teahouse where people came in and out from time to time, took a deep breath, and then walked in.   Tang Xi thought about it, and finally decided to follow him in. After all, she also wanted to see what would happen next.   "Sir, would you like some tea?"   When Tang Xi just arrived at the door, Feng Ruoqian was standing in front of Hua Xuan and asked with a faint smile.   "Okay!" Hua Xuan looked straight at him and smiled, "I wonder if I have the honor to drink the tea cooked by Master Feng himself?"   Feng Ruoqian frowned slightly, always feeling that the man in front of him looked at him with a little too hot eyes, and he had never seen this person before.   But... these eyes... seem to be somewhat similar to that person.   His eyes dimmed, but he still smiled and nodded: "Of course! Sir, please come in."   "Sir?"   Seeing Hua Xuan didn't move, Feng Ruoqian was a little confused.   "I heard that there is a tea here, called the first encounter, I wonder if I have the honor to taste it?"   Feng Ruoqian's smile froze, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "Who are you?"   Not many people have drunk this tea, there are only two people who have come and gone, one is Xie Cheng, and the other is Qu Jing, both of whom are good friends with him, and he feels that these two people will not casually tell others about their own affairs.   No, there is another person, the girl that Xie Cheng brought last time.   Could it be that she told this matter?   "A Qian, it's me."   A low and gentle call made Feng Ruoqian freeze in place, staring blankly at the person in front of him with a pair of starry eyes.   Five years, right? It has been a long time since anyone called him like this, only that person...   "You, you are..." His voice was a little hoarse.   Hua Xuan stared at him and smiled softly, "I can't show my true face recently. There are people waiting for me to join the network everywhere. Ah Qian, let's find a place to have a good talk."   "Is it really you?" Feng Ruoqian's eyes were already filled with a faint mist.   Hua Xuan nodded, "It's me!"   At the door, Tang Xi, who was leaning against the door frame with her arms around her chest, watched this scene with a smile on her lips.   Unexpectedly, her shoulders suddenly sank.   She was startled and looked up, only to see Xie Cheng looking down at her with a smile.   "Why are you here?" Tang Xi was surprised.   "I heard from Kong Yue that you brought a wild man here."   "Wild man?" Tang Xi chuckled and pointed at Hua Xuan not far away and said, "Are you talking about him?"   Xie Cheng looked up and couldn't help but smile when he saw Hua Xuan and Feng Ruoqian, "You girl, he poisoned you, and you still helped him so much."   Tang Xi raised her chin and said, "I'm generous."   In fact, she felt that Hua Xuan was not that bad, and even a little pitiful.   Xie Cheng gently rubbed her head and said helplessly, "Silly girl!"   Hua Xuan heard the two people's voices, turned around, and raised his eyebrows when he saw the two people at the door.   Feng Ruoqian also saw the two people. He suppressed all kinds of emotions and looked at Hua Xuan and said, "You...you wait for me here first, we will talk later."   Hua Xuan nodded, ignoring the shopkeeper's puzzled look, and leaned against the counter with his arms around his chest.   "Are you two here for tea again?" Feng Ruoqian asked with a smile.   Tang Xi looked at him sideways and shook his head slightly, "No, I'm here to send someone here for Master Feng."   (End of this chapter)
