Chapter 270
After some inquiries, it was learned that the marquis mentioned by the people was the strange man.
His surname was Su, and his name was unknown.
Living in a manor not far away, Sun Simiao immediately went to the manor under the guidance of the people...
"Renhai, if you enter the manor, don't judge people by their appearance because they are young.
You must not offend the strange man with your words, do you understand?"
Sun Simiao persuaded Cen Renhai earnestly.
His apprentice sometimes talked a lot and didn't value etiquette.
The image of Su Chen was portrayed by Sun Simiao as a hermit, which was deeply imprinted in his mind.
If he was not a great man, he couldn't explain what he saw and heard today.
About a quarter of an hour later, the master and apprentice arrived at the gate of the manor.
The guard at the gate saw an octogenarian among the visitors and bowed:
"What do you want to do here, elder?"
In the Tang Dynasty, people over the age of 60 can see officials without bowing, just bowing, and the officials must return the greeting.
"I am the old Taoist Sun Simiao. I heard about the good deeds of the Marquis when I came here, and I want to pay a visit.
Please inform him, is it okay?"
Sun Simiao bowed and replied politely.
"So it's Master Sun in person, I'm sorry! Please wait for a moment, I will report to the Marquis immediately!"
When the guard heard the name of the old immortal, his expression became more respectful.
"Thank you, little brother."
The guard said to his companions and ran to the manor immediately.
...
"Butler Wang, Master Sun from the manor wants to visit the Marquis, please tell him!"
The guard ran to the living room and met the butler Wang Xi.
"Sun Zhenren? Could it be Old Immortal Sun?" Wang Xi asked again and again to confirm.
"That's right!" The guard answered firmly.
"Okay, I'll report to the Marquis right away!"
Wang Xi hurried to the study, where Su Chen was drawing a map alone.
When the housekeeper walked to the door of the study, he saw Su Chen was concentrating on painting, so Wang Xi didn't dare to shout.
This was a habit he had developed over the years in the palace, so he walked to Su Chen's side quietly.
Reported in a low voice:
"Marquis, Old Immortal Sun, Sun Simiao wants to see the Marquis."
Su Chen raised his pen and hovered it on the paper, turned his head and looked at Wang Xi in shock:
"Who are you talking about?"
"Marquis, Old Immortal Sun, Sun Simiao wants to see the Marquis."
Wang Xi thought he was too quiet just now and Su Chen didn't hear clearly, so he raised his voice and reported again.
"Hahaha, good, what a coincidence!
Quick, let's go and invite the old immortal into the manor." Su Chen dropped the pen in his hand and hurriedly urged.
However, when he reached the door of the study, he stopped and said to Wang Xi:
"Wang Xi, you go first, I'll clean up the study and come right away!"
Wang Xi didn't think much and followed Su Chen's words and walked outside.
"Please bring out the human anatomy diagram, and the pathological analysis and diagnosis and treatment of common diseases. We'll talk about the rest later."
Su Chen put the one-to-one human anatomy diagram in an empty space and put the pathological analysis under the desk.
After doing this, Su Chen nodded with satisfaction.
He quickly ran to the door of the manor, but Wang Xi did not leave. He was waiting for Su Chen in the living room.
"Wang Xi, prepare watermelon and tea, and get some peanuts and melon seeds."
Su Chen kept walking and instructed Wang Xi at the same time.
Wang Xi is worthy of being the person selected by Lao Wang. He is first-class at observing people's expressions.
Just now, Su Chen said to clean up the study room. Normal people would say, "I'll do it."
Su Chen asked him to go and greet the old immortal first, but he didn't go.
"Okay, Lord!" Wang Xi turned and left.
"Wang Xi is really a qualified housekeeper. He can guess people's hearts.
That's good. Having him as a housekeeper can save a lot of trouble."
Su Chen trotted all the way, unable to suppress his excitement.
Finally, he could see the true face of the old immortal, who was known as the "King of Medicine" in later generations.
"Old immortal..."
"Old immortal, I've kept you waiting for a long time!"
When he was about to reach the door, Su Chen saw Sun Simiao, whose hair, eyebrows, and beard were all white.
It was indeed the old immortal!
His back was straight and he was full of energy!
Su Chen shouted like this, and the image of a master in Sun Simiao's mind collapsed instantly!
Sun Simiao looked at Su Chen who was running towards him in shock.
Too young!
"Old Immortal, please come in, how can I let you wait outside!
This young man, please!"
Su Chen held Sun Simiao's lower arm with both hands and invited him into the manor without saying anything.
Shouldn't normal people be polite first?
"Marquis, you are..." Sun Simiao was stunned by Su Chen's "hospitable" behavior.
We are not too familiar with each other!
This is the first time we meet!
"Old Immortal, please don't call me Marquis, call me Su Chen or Su Xiaozi.
I can't bear your address like that!"
Sun Simiao half-heartedly accepted and was invited into the living room by Su Chen.
"Old Immortal, please take a seat!"
Su Chen enthusiastically helped Sun Simiao to the main seat.
Except for Li Shimin and his wife and Li Yuan, no one has sat in these two main seats!
"Brother, please sit down!"
After Su Chen arranged Sun Simiao, he smiled and asked Cen Renhai to take a seat.
"I am Cen Renhai, and I meet Lord Su!"
Cen Renhai bowed and introduced himself to Su Chen.
"Brother Cen, you don't have to be polite, just call me Su Chen.
Everyone in the manor calls me Lord, and I don't even know what Lord is."
Cen Renhai had just been looking at Su Chen at the door of the manor, and he felt that Su Chen and he were the same kind of people at first glance.
"Hahaha, okay, I am a few years older than you, so I will call you Su Chen.
You don't need to call me brother, just call me Renhai."
Cen Renhai was straightforward and not at all pretentious.
"Renhai, don't be rude!" Sun Simiao scolded.
At this time, Wang Xi and a family brought tea, watermelon, peanuts and melon seeds.
"Wang Xi, meet Master Sun!" After Wang Xi put down the fruit plate, he bowed respectfully to Sun Simiao.
Sun Simiao stared at Wang Xi for a moment, "Are you... the head of the palace?"
Sun Simiao had been to the palace three times to diagnose the royal family, and it happened that Wang Xi followed and led the way every time.
"Master, you have good eyesight, it's me!"
Then Wang Xi bowed to Su Chen and asked the servant to retreat with him to the living room.
"Old Immortal, Renhai, eat some watermelon to quench your thirst, it's very sweet, try it!"
"Okay!"
Sun Simiao hadn't spoken yet, but Cen Renhai was not polite.
About ten minutes passed.
"Lord Su, I have a question..."
"Old Immortal, don't call me Lord, just call me by my name, otherwise I really don't dare to answer."
Su Chen said with a slight smile.
Sun Simiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Chen carefully, his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
Although the old immortal is not good at physiognomy, he has seen countless people after all.
Although I can't say that the face reading technique is 100% accurate, at least it is 80% accurate.
"This young man has a deep fortune, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people! But..."
After a moment.
Sun Simiao nodded, smiled kindly and asked:
"Young friend Su, do you know me?"
Before, outside the manor, Su Chen's behavior did not seem to be heard from others.
It was more like he had known Sun Simiao for a long time.
"That is... the old immortal's name, it is well-known!"
Su Chen almost let it slip out of his mouth because of excitement.
The name of the King of Medicine, who doesn't know it!
...
