Chapter 154 Old Friend
Hearing this, Xiao Tingshan turned to look at Shen Shuyi and reminded her, "Miss Shen, Mr. Liancheng has a hot temper and is not easy to get along with. He will not easily see you."
He has been here for several days, and only today did he have the chance to meet Liancheng.
After spending a lot of effort, he didn't get a good ending. Instead, he became enemies with Liancheng because of taking risks.
Fortunately, as long as Forsythia suspensa can be found, his body can be cured and the poison can be detoxified.
Shen Shuyi smiled, her palm-sized face was as white as snow, and she looked at Xiao Tingshan with a smile: "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't do it, and besides, didn't Mr. Liancheng meet you once?"
Xiao Tingshan just felt that she was overestimating her own abilities. He pointed to the many people guarding on the other side and said softly, "Those people all wanted to ask the medicine boy to treat them, but they couldn't get their wish. What's more, the person Miss Shen wanted to see was Mr. Liancheng."
Shen Shuyi looked up and saw that indeed, there were many people gathered at the foot of the wall, including servants of wealthy families, poor people in tattered clothes, and patients who were carried over with their last breath and terminal illness.
But no matter what, I won’t be open for business today.
Neither of the two medicine boys had any intention of saving anyone.
They were waiting here because they didn't know when the pharmacist would start seeing patients, so they could only wait here and try their luck.
Shen Shuyi retracted his gaze and said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Song."
After saying that, she ignored Xiao Tingshan and looked at Yuping and said, "Yuping, go knock on the door."
The old copper bracelet on the wooden door rang. The medicine boy was scolded and was in a bad mood. He opened the door angrily and asked angrily, "What's the matter again?"
"Young man, our young lady is an old acquaintance of Mr. Liancheng. We heard that you have arrived in the capital, so we prepared two jugs of light wine. I wonder if you are interested in reminiscing about the past." Yuping spoke in a gentle voice.
The girl in front of him was wearing a goose yellow long dress, with two buns on her hair. She had a gentle face and round, bright eyes.
Although his tone was bad, the girl didn't care at all, which made the medicine boy feel a little embarrassed.
"Sir, you are in a bad mood today and will not see any guests. You can go back now." The medicine boy said to send them away.
Xiao Tingshan stood not far away, watching this scene with a cold smile on his lips.
He wanted to see how this Second Miss Shen could accomplish what he couldn't do.
Songbai, who was standing by, couldn't help but say something sarcastic: "You really don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is. You are so arrogant, but you can't even get in the door!"
Xiao Tingshan didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he didn't agree or comment on this.
Yu Ping was not annoyed, and said in a gentle voice: "In that case, we will not bother you today. However, our young lady has come all the way here, and has received great kindness from Mr. Liancheng, so I would like to ask you to pass these things to Mr. Liancheng as a token of gratitude."
After saying this, Yuping handed two jugs of wine and a painting box to the medicine boy.
Seeing that she didn't bother him any further, the medicine boy breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at the two jugs of wine, which were exactly the ones his master usually bought, and then he reached out to take them.
"Okay, I'll pass it on to you, but I'm not sure if Master will accept it."
Yuping smiled and said gently, "There is nothing valuable in this box. It is a painting made by our young lady herself. It is a token of our love. If Mr. Liancheng does not want to accept it, you can just burn it."
Hearing this, the medicine boy was secretly shocked and couldn't help but look up and glance at Shen Shuyi behind Yuping.
The girl was wearing an orange-pink dress, which made her skin look as white as jade. Her almond-shaped eyes were calm and cold, neither earnest nor impatient. She was like a pool of spring water under a scorching autumn day, inexplicably calming people's hearts.
The medicine boy withdrew his gaze, said nothing more, slammed the door shut, turned around and ran inside.

"Miss, what should we do now..." Jinzhu asked in a low voice.
Shen Shuyi said: "Let's go sit at the tea stall."
After Songbai and Songren helped Wenren Zong up, the group walked to the tea stall. After all, there was really nowhere else to go except this makeshift stall.
Xiao Tingshan's eyes fell on Wenren Zong's swollen arm, and he asked gently, "How is it?"
Wenren Zong's eyes were filled with gloom: "You won't die."
Xiao Tingshan said again: "Why not let Songbai take you to see a doctor first."
Wen Renzong sneered: "No need, the old man didn't kill me, I know my own body! Besides, I also want to know whether this Second Miss Shen can enter this house today!"
Hearing this, Xiao Tingshan didn't force it anymore and his eyes fell on Shen Shuyi and his group not far away.
His eyes were gentle, and he said softly, "It's just two paintings and two pots of wine. Liancheng will never meet her."
Wen Renzong nodded: "Indeed, from the previous news, Liancheng has no interest in painting. He does have wine in his hand, but the two bottles of wine are ordinary. According to Liancheng's personality, he will just drink it and will not look at her differently because of it."
Song Bai couldn't help but interrupt, "The second young lady of the Shen family is just overestimating her own abilities and doesn't know what's good for her. The young master kindly reminded her, but she just ignored him. I want to see how embarrassed she will be when she gets turned away!"

At this moment, in the courtyard.
The medicine boy came back in a hurry, carrying two jugs of wine and a box in his arms.
Lian Cheng had now fallen back onto the recliner under the tree, probably because he had run out of wine, or because he had just been upset by Xiao Tingshan and Wen Renzong, so he looked to be in a bad mood.
"Master, someone claimed to be your old friend and sent two pots of wine and a painting." The medicine boy spoke cautiously, standing aside.
Lian Cheng glanced at him and sneered, "You are the only one who believes this kind of nonsense!"
The medicine boy wanted to scratch his head, but he couldn't open his hands. He stood aside for a moment, at a loss, and said, "I told you not to see guests, and they didn't force me. They just said that the painting was painted by the young lady herself. If you don't like it, I can burn it."
Lian Cheng stretched out his hand and said calmly, "Bring the wine."
The medicine boy responded and quickly placed the painting box on the low table beside him and handed over the wine first.
Liancheng opened the lid of the wine jug, took a sniff, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Bamboo Leaf Green...from Guo’s Liquor Shop.
That girl has good taste!
Lian Cheng didn't say anything more. He put the other pot of girl's red wine aside and started drinking Bamboo Leaf Green.
Seeing that he had no intention of touching the painting, the medicine boy did not dare to speak again.
Liancheng held the wine jug in one hand and looked up at the sky along the wall.
He has saved countless lives in his life, but what did he get in the end? This life is really boring!
Erbao never went back to the room since he was called out of it. Now he was squatting in front of a stone pillar not far away and eating chicken.
Lian Cheng ignored him and closed his eyes, feeling a little more drunk.
In the dream, he was still in the front of the village, treating the victims, and Lian Qiao was following not far behind him, sorting herbs.
A few years had passed, and he could hardly remember what Nannan looked like...
