The few of them chatted for a while. Xiao Xian wanted to ask what Xiao Wen asked him to ask. Xiao Wen meant that Ling Xuzi seemed to know something. Ling Xuzi obviously had some relationship with Xiao Xian.
But now Xiao Xian felt that he didn't know how to ask, because if Ling Xuzi had something to do with him, it should also have something to do with Xiao Wen.
After all, Xiao Wen is the late emperor's son, so who is Ling Xuzi?
But Ling Xuzi looks older, maybe even older than the emperor.
Ling Xuzi's long, fluttering beard can confuse people when it comes to judging his age, making it difficult for people to tell his true age.
Because nowadays, people over thirty will grow beards, but the quality of beards can be as good or bad as hair, especially for a Taoist priest like Ling Xuzi who looks like an immortal, it is really difficult to judge.
Moreover, Ling Xuzi's tone seemed a bit harsh now. If he asked what his relationship was with him, he would definitely laugh at him.
Just when Xiao Xian was hesitating, Shen Mingzhu had already said with a smile: "We have a lot of fun here in Daizhou. If Taoist Priest has nothing urgent, you might as well stay here for a longer time, or go around and have fun."
Hearing her active invitation, Ling Yan's eyes lit up and she looked at Ling Xuzi eagerly.
Ling Xuzi narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at him. He seemed to understand something and quickly became serious again.
Ling Xuzi thought about it and said, "My master and apprentice are also traveling around anyway. Since we are here with our old friends, we might as well stay for a while."
Seeing that Master agreed, Ling Yan said happily: "Yes, that's right, Master, by living here, we can save money on staying in an inn and paying for food."
They didn't have any money along the way. If the master hadn't been a master of medicine and helped others check it out, they would probably have suffered from the northwest wind. But the master was a generous man and often didn't treat people who were poor when he saw the doctor.
He was willing to ask for money, and sometimes even used his own money to help others, so there was no need to talk about being chic on the way, and he could only stay in the worst inns.
Xiao Xian was relieved when he saw Ling Xuzi agreed to stay. It's hard to ask about things now, so he should ask slowly.
Shen Mingzhu stood up and said, "You guys talk first, I'll go instruct the kitchen to prepare a meal for you two, and also decorate the yard."
With that said, he said goodbye and left.
Ling Yan wanted to chase her out and tell her that she didn't want fast food, but big fish and big meat. He hadn't seen meat in days, and now he could smell the aroma of barbecue when he saw live cattle and sheep.
Especially at meal time, the aroma of stewed meat was already wafting out of the big kitchen. The aroma was simply floating ten miles down the wind, and his stomach couldn't bear it for a long time.
If it weren't for those refreshments that cushioned the bar, he would have rushed over.
Soon, Shen Mingzhu sent a boy to invite the two of them over so they could wash up and prepare to eat.
The master and apprentice went to the quiet and quiet courtyard specially prepared for them.
The boy who led the way and the other two boys were responsible for following their orders. There were two women sweeping the house, but no one else.
This small courtyard is far away from the backyard and away from the street, so it is very quiet. Although it is late autumn, the courtyard is still covered with sparse vegetation, which is very artistic.
Two young men fetched water and prepared happy clothes for the two of them, and then Ling Yan ordered them to leave first.
