Chapter 172 Doctor Xue is also a gossip
The stall owner originally wanted to attract customers by having riddles and sell more lanterns.
He deliberately found some relatively difficult riddles, making it difficult for everyone to guess the answers, so that no one could get his dragon head lantern.
I didn't expect to meet such a great person today who guessed the answers to two riddles at once.
But doing business requires honesty. If the other party really guessed the third riddle, he would have to consider himself unlucky and give up the dragon head lantern.
He pretended to be calm and said, "This young man is very clever. I wonder if he can guess my third riddle!"
Xiao Ran made a gesture of invitation, indicating that the stall owner could ask any questions he wanted.
The stall owner thought about it and found the most difficult one among the many riddles he had prepared.
"This young man is quite good. The third riddle is, 'The moonlight shines through the window during the Lantern Festival.' What is the word?"
When this question was asked, everyone frowned.
This is too difficult!
Just as everyone was trying hard to guess the answer, Xiao Ran immediately thought of the answer.
"The answer to this question is the character 'one'!"
After hearing the answer, everyone was puzzled and the stall owner was shocked.
"How did you know the answer, sir?"
A beautiful curve appeared at the corner of Xiao Ran's mouth.
"It's very simple. The "moonlight" and "window" in the word "Yuanxiao" have both disappeared, and what's left is just the character "one."
After hearing this analysis, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
The stall owner forced a smile.
Today was a really bad start. I met a strong riddle guesser. There was nothing I could do but admit defeat.
"Young Master is amazing! Amazing! Today, the Lantern King belongs to this young master!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at him with envy and applauded.
Xiao Ran bowed to the people around him.
"Concession! Concession!"
He took the dragon-headed lantern from the stall owner and handed it to Su Chengen.
"Take it!"
Su Chengen cast an admiring gaze at him, "Thank you, Brother Xiao!"
"You're welcome!"
A few people left the crowd and continued walking forward.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "I didn't expect you to be so good!"
Xiao Ran was pleased with himself. "That's right. Let me tell you this. When I was studying, I was also what the teacher called a rare good student!"
"Then why don't you continue studying?"
"Studying is too boring. It's not as interesting as making money!"
Su Xiaoxiao really wanted to scold Xiao Ran for being stupid. As a man, he should naturally focus on studying. But thinking that everyone has their own aspirations and everyone has the right to choose, she had no right to interfere and said no more.
Xiao Ran saw some food being sold on the roadside and guessed that Su Xiaoxiao and Su Chengen had never eaten there before, so he pulled Su Chengen over.
"Would you like to try this?"
"Is this delicious? Has Brother Xiao ever eaten it?"
"I've had it, it's super good. Should I buy some for you and your sister to try?"
"Okay, thank you, Brother Xiao!"
"I've already told you, you don't have to be so polite to me!"
Xiao Ran immediately asked Donglai to pay and bought some snacks to try.
Several people ate while walking and watching the lanterns.
During the rest of the journey, whenever Xiao Ran saw something delicious or fun, he would take the initiative to buy it for Su Chengen, which made Su Chengen very happy.
Looking at the smile on Su Chengen's face, Su Xiaoxiao thanked Xiao Ran from the bottom of her heart.
She also suddenly realized that Xiao Ran was a pretty good guy and not as bad as he looked.
After they had enough fun, they returned to the inn to rest.
The next morning, after breakfast, I left the city and headed for the Valley of Divine Doctors.
The Valley of Miracle Doctors, as the name suggests, is located in a valley.
A group of people came to the valley and explained the situation to Doctor Xue's disciples, who hurriedly led them.
"My master is refining medicine in the pharmacy. Please follow me!"
When I arrived outside Doctor Xue’s pharmacy, I could smell the strong aroma of Chinese medicine from afar.
Doctor Xue was standing with his back to the door, looking at the rows of medicine with a worried look on his face.
He frowned and rubbed his chin with one hand.
"Which one should I add?"
He didn't even notice someone walking in. It was the disciple's report that interrupted his thoughts and brought him back to reality.
"Master, the distinguished guest has arrived."
He turned and looked towards the door.
When he confirmed that the other person was Xiao Ran, he immediately smiled with joy.
"Oh, brother Xiao Ran, you're finally here. I missed you so much!"
Xiao Ran also took a few steps forward and reached out to hug Doctor Xue.
"Brother, you're making fun of me. You didn't even take me with you when you went on your trip, and you even said you missed me! Liar!"
Doctor Xue patted Xiao Ran on the back and laughed.
"It happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to inform you. Don't blame me, brother. I will definitely go with you on my next trip."
"You promised me this, don't break your promise!"
"I definitely won't, I definitely won't!"
The two smiled at each other.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Doctor Xue carefully.
Doctor Xue looked to be in his forties, with long hair half tied up and half loose, two very eye-catching white strands on his temples, a palm-long goatee, and an immortal-like appearance.
Standing together with Xiao Ran, it is not an exaggeration to say that the two are father and son.
Su Xiaoxiao was really curious about how Xiao Ran became friends with Doctor Xue, who could be his father?
Moreover, Doctor Xue has superb medical skills and is known to be as good as Hua Tuo.
Look at Xiao Ran again, he is just a playboy from a rich family.
No matter how hard I try, I can't put these two people together.
I must ask Xiao Ran about it later.
Doctor Xue focused all his attention on Xiao Ran and pulled him out.
"Come on, let's go to my study and talk. This place is filled with the stench of medicine. It's so awful. If it gets annoying to my brother Xiao Ran, what shall I do?"
Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Then I'll just rely on my elder brother. Anyway, my elder brother has superb medical skills and will definitely cure me. What do I have to worry about?"
"You, you are still so careless!"
"Isn't that the same thing with my elder brother?"
While the two of them were chatting and laughing, they arrived at Doctor Xue's study.
Su Xiaoxiao and others followed closely behind.
Doctor Xue pulled Xiao Ran to sit down and casually said something to Su Xiaoxiao and the others.
"You guys can sit anywhere, you're welcome."
He took Xiao Ran's hand, leaned closer, and said curiously, "I received your letter. I'm just a little curious. We've known each other for so many years, but I've never heard you ask me to help treat someone's illness. Who is this person you are talking about? Is he someone very important to you? Come on, tell me, big brother!"
Su Xiaoxiao didn't expect that Doctor Xue was also so gossipy. She subconsciously looked at Xiao Ran, wanting to know how Xiao Ran would answer.
Unexpectedly, before Xiao Ran could open his mouth, Dong Lai came over and said, "Doctor Xue, you may not know this, but the person my young master asked you to treat may very well be his future brother-in-law. Of course, it's important!"
After these words were spoken, Xiao Ran's cheeks turned slightly red.
Seeing Xiao Ran's reaction, Doctor Xue determined that what Dong said was true and pointed at Xiao Ran with a smile.
"Good boy, you didn't even bother to tell me, your older brother, about the happy event of having your beloved."
"Brother, I like her, but I don't know if she likes me back!"
"My brother is so outstanding, how can he not be liked by others? I wonder which girl my brother likes? Let me see!"
Xiao Ran looked at Su Xiaoxiao, and Doctor Xue then noticed that there was a woman among the servants who followed Xiao Ran.
