The two had established an unbreakable relationship, and since they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they didn't feel lonely talking and laughing along the way. They soon arrived at Mr. Xu's private retreat - Chanson.

"Just go ahead. Mr. Xu will wait for you at the same place. I won't accompany you in because I have other things to do." Li Zhengyang turned his head and said to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian nodded knowingly, opened the door and got out.

When I arrived at the box, I found Mr. Xu lying on a bamboo chair with his eyes slightly closed. There was a neat tea set in front of him, waiting for him long ago.

"Mr. Xu, are you looking for me?" As soon as Lin Tian saw Mr. Xu, he tried his best to act coquettishly and cutely.

The trick that had worked well in the past did not work today. Mr. Xu still closed his eyes slightly as if he had not heard it.

Lin Tian still sat obediently beside him, stretched out his hand to touch Mr. Xu's pulse, and examined it carefully.

When Mr. Xu saw that he stopped talking and instead checked his pulse, he felt funny in his heart and thought to himself: "This kid has so many tricks up his sleeve."

Now he couldn't hold on any longer, and finally asked: "What was the result of your diagnosis and treatment just now?"

Seeing that Mr. Xu finally spoke, Lin Tian of course stopped pretending to diagnose and treat, and said truthfully: "I was just resting just now, and I didn't diagnose your pulse."

"You..." Mr. Xu was so angry that he said, "You bastard!"

Lin Tian went over to please him and said, "Mr. Xu, your health is so good, so why do you need medical treatment?"

Mr. Xu stopped arguing with him and deliberately said with a straight face: "Okay, okay, let's talk about something serious!"

"I don't know, Mr. Xu, what do you mean by serious things?" Lin Tian still said with a playful smile.

"I heard that some time ago, you won a great victory over South Korea and the Islands. As a result, things have now developed into apprenticeships, right?"

When Lin Tian heard this, he knew that Mr. Xu had been paying attention to the news recently, and immediately admitted: "It is indeed true. The embassies of these two countries even used the upper-level route to put pressure on Tang Qiuhong, so that I agreed to accept their apprenticeship...

…”

Mr. Xu said thoughtfully and stopped talking.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Lin Tian felt strange and said, "Mr. Xu, did you hear something?"

Mr. Xu glanced at Lin Tian with approval. The reason why he had always been very optimistic about Lin Tian was that in addition to this boy's extraordinary medical skills, he also had a low-key personality. More importantly, he was talented and capable of achieving great things with his poise and stability.

clever.

"Then have you ever thought about why South Korea and Island are so anxious to become apprentices to you?" Mr. Xu did not answer but changed the subject.

When Lin Tian heard him asking this question, he understood most of it in his heart. What did this old man want to remind him?

When he thought of this, he replied seriously: "At first, I just thought that South Korea and Island were just trying to save face and deliberately turned the challenge into apprenticeship, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was wrong..."

Mr. Xu did not interrupt and listened patiently to what he continued to say.

"They must make me agree to this condition at all costs. Is it just to save face? The price is too high..."

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Xu couldn't help but interjected: "If it were you, what would you do?"

"If I were to declare directly to the outside world that the visiting delegation is a non-governmental organization, they can only represent individuals, and all their actions have nothing to do with the government, wouldn't it be enough?"

Lin Tian's words hit Mr. Xu's fancy. He smiled happily and said, "You are really smart, but have you ever thought about why they did this?"

Lin Tian nodded and said: "I have been thinking about this issue these days, and I have roughly two things in mind."

"Tell me about it quickly." Mr. Xu became more and more interested and urged with a smile on his lips.

Lin Tian hummed and said: "First, they want to use the opportunity to become a disciple and alienate me from my team..."

"How do you say this?"

"In view of the fact that the relations between China, South Korea, and the island countries are very delicate, and the disputed conflicts in history have never been disclosed, and the fishing island incident has recently occurred, which has made some angry youths criticize South Korea and the island countries.

They criticized me verbally and writtenly, and once I accepted them, this also gave the angry youth a chance to speak out, and their respect for me turned to hatred. If there were some of them who didn't like me in the first place, they would even curse me, thus making me angry.

My image is damaged."

"Are you very concerned about your own image now?" Mr. Xu's sudden question was very meaningful.

Lin Tian shook his head and replied: "Mr. Xu, I have never cared about personal gains and losses. Moreover, for me, even if I am criticized and criticized, I can accept it calmly. But now, Tang Qiuhong from the Ministry of Health

The minister is working hard to build me into a brand image of traditional Chinese medicine, so as to revive the declining traditional Chinese medicine. Now is a critical moment. If my image is damaged, it will directly lead to the damage to the image of traditional Chinese medicine, which will lead to failure."

Mr. Xu's eyes flashed brightly, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious, but he still did not intend to interrupt the boy's words and looked at him patiently.

Lin Tian picked up the tea cup in front of him, took a sip of tea to moisten his dry throat, put down the tea cup and continued: "Second, I suspect that they are using the apprenticeship as a teacher, and then backhanded me so that I can't interfere..."

"What does this mean?" Mr. Xu was confused by Lin Tian's words.

Lin Tian said seriously: "I have accepted them as apprentices. When the time comes, they will have another medical exchange meeting, and as their master, I will definitely not be able to interfere, but they can openly communicate with other people in the name of Huaxia, and even

Going in my name will not only attack the traditional Chinese medicine in China, but also ruin my reputation everywhere. This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone. It makes people shudder to think about it..."

Mr. Xu laughed so happily that Lin Tian was a little confused.

"Mr. Xu, why are you laughing so well?"

Mr. Xu laughed, sat up and straightened his wrinkled clothes and said: "You are really smart, you think about the problem without revealing anything. I was worried about you at first, but I didn't expect that it was me who was overly worried.

"

"But..." Lin Tian was not complacent after hearing his praise. He admitted frankly: "Although I thought of their next plan, I haven't thought of how to deal with it. Moreover, they were ahead of the enemy.

I took the upper-level route when I came up and had no intention of giving me a chance to make a comeback. I fell behind step by step and fell behind step by step. The current situation makes me very frustrated."

After hearing what he said, Mr. Xu thought for a while and felt that this was indeed the case. He said: "I have also inquired through some acquaintances, and it is true that some people have taken advantage of it, which has made things difficult. Now it is still

We can't touch the person who took the bribe, otherwise he will alert the enemy, which will affect our overall plan, so now we can only find another way."

Lin Tian did not ask further who was the person who received the benefits in Mr. Xu's mouth. Of course he understood that there were some things he should ask and some things he should not ask. However, Mr. Xu always thought of him and let him

Really touched.

Although he was moved, he was also more puzzled. He said in surprise: "Mr. Xu, there is something I don't understand very well. Can you tell me directly?"

"But it doesn't matter!"

"I don't have any conflict of interest with you. At most, I have saved your life. If I wanted to repay you for saving your life, you would have repaid me long ago. But you still continue to give your greatest support. I want to know what this means.

Why? Do you really want to see how high I fly, as Uncle Li said?"

After Lin Tian clarified the question that had puzzled him for a long time, he felt relieved.

Mr. Xu chuckled and said: "Actually, I didn't think that much. I just think that you are about the same age as my grandson, but more capable than him. Therefore, I can't help but love talents and think about doing things that are easy to do."

You do it.”

To be honest, Lin Tian was not satisfied with Mr. Xu's answer, but he could also see that Mr. Xu was sincerely helping him and did not hide any selfish motives, nor did he ask for anything, just for this reason.

, Lin Tian felt that Mr. Xu was trustworthy.

"Okay, no matter what, Mr. Xu, I believe in you." Lin Tian said solemnly.

Mr. Xu waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite to me, I will stand on your side no matter what."

"Thanks!"

"You brat, I'm so polite to you old man." Mr. Xu glanced at him, laughed and scolded him, and then continued: "Wait a minute, don't go and watch the show with me. Someone else is coming in the evening, so I will

Let me introduce you to him."

"Who is it?" Mr. Xu's seriousness inevitably aroused Lin Tian's curiosity.

Mr. Xu chuckled and said, "He is an old friend of mine. When he heard your name, he knew that you have excellent medical skills, so he strongly requested to get to know you. He is also the one who arranged the dinner tonight."

Listening to what Xu Lao said became more and more mysterious, Lin Tian felt more and more miraculous. The Yanjing pool is very deep and there are many smart people in all aspects. In addition, Lin Tian has indeed shown his sharpness recently. Someone wants to know him.

It's really normal.

Since they had to meet anyway, Lin Tianbian stopped asking any more questions and sat obediently next to Mr. Xu, watching the Kunqu Opera "The Peony Pavilion" being performed on the stage on the first floor.

The full name of "The Peony Pavilion" is "Resurrection of the Peony Pavilion", which together with "The Purple Hairpin", "Handan" and "Nanke" are collectively known as "The Four Dreams of Yumingtang". The play praises the bold pursuit of free love by young men and women.

, firmly opposed to feudalism

The spirit of ethics exposed and criticized the hypocrisy and cruelty of Cheng (Cheng Hao, Cheng Hao) Zhu (Zhu Xi) Neo-Confucianism of "preserving natural principles and destroying human desires", forming an impact on the ideological and cultural autocracy of the period of anti-feudal society's decline.

More importantly, "The Peony Pavilion" is the representative work of Tang Xianzu, a great composer of the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Tian didn't know much about Kunqu Opera, but he had heard of Tang Xianzu as a person who had read history. Besides, there was nothing much to do with the old man except watching the opera, so he enjoyed watching it with great relish.

Unknowingly, the sky gradually became dark, and the mysterious figure mentioned by Mr. Xu also surfaced, which inevitably made Lin Tian feel a little excited. Li Zhengyang also finished his work and parked the car outside the Chanson gate to pick them up.

and pass.
