Chapter 451 Not happy
Zhang Lianchuan responded upon hearing this: "Let me see if my second uncle is here."
"Your second uncle?" Bai Minshan was a little surprised: "Isn't your second uncle not interested in Chinese medicine?"
"Yes, your second uncle is actually willing to participate in this exchange meeting. Has the sun risen from the west?" Fang Peizhen asked curiously.
Speaking of Zhang Lianchuan's second uncle Zhang Wenqi, almost everyone in the entire traditional Chinese medicine circle knows him. The Zhang family is a famous medical family in Nanshi. Although the turmoil in the past few years affected them slightly, there was basically no major impact.
Zhang Lianchuan's father had three brothers. The eldest was Zhang Lianchuan's father, Zhang Wenxin, who is now in charge of the entire Zhang family. The third brother, Zhang Wenlin, disappeared a few years ago and his whereabouts remain unknown until now. He was the only member of the Zhang family who died in those years. As for the second brother, Zhang Wenqi, he had no interest in traditional Chinese medicine since he was a child. Instead, he was very interested in antiques. In the words of Zhang Lianchuan's grandfather, he was not doing his job properly and was uneducated.
Because he has no interest in traditional Chinese medicine, Zhang Wenqi never participates in anything related to it. But unexpectedly, he would come to attend the exchange meeting today!
"Yes." Zhang Lianchuan said, "I was also surprised. He said he would arrive later and even asked my dad for an invitation. I just wanted to see if he would come."
Zhang Lianchuan was very curious about his second uncle's abnormal behavior today.
Looking around, Zhang Lianchuan didn't see any trace of Zhang Wenqi. He sighed and said, "Forget it. I guess my second uncle won't come today. I guess he just said he was coming to attend the exchange meeting with my dad."
Zhang Lianchuan felt that his second uncle must have gone to the antique market in Beijing. He heard that there was a famous ghost market in the antique circle in Beijing. It would be strange if his second uncle was not interested in it.
"Let's not talk about my second uncle. What were you talking about just now?" Zhang Lianchuan was busy looking for his second uncle and didn't pay attention to what the other people were talking about.
Bai Minyun said it again, and Zhang Lianchuan smiled and said, "Okay, my dad will be in Beijing for five or six days anyway, so which day should we choose?"
Bai Minyun looked at Su Qing. Among the six of them, Su Qing was the only student.
Bai Minyun is the same age as Su Qing and plans to take the college entrance examination this year. The remaining four are one or two years younger than them and have no plans to take the college entrance examination for the time being. Instead, they are learning Chinese medicine from their elders. Therefore, this time they all followed their elders to Beijing to attend the exchange meeting.
Su Qing smiled and said, "This Sunday, I will have time this Sunday. After all, the final exam is about ten days away, and I don't think I can take a day off."
"Okay, then let's do it on Sunday." The others all agreed with a smile. Today is Wednesday, and there are only three or four days left until Sunday.
"Let me make it clear first, I'm treating this time, I'm the oldest, don't argue with me." After the dinner was scheduled, Bai Minyun hurriedly said that she and Su Qing were born in the same year, but her birthday was older.
"Okay, you treat me, I'll do it next time." The others said with a smile. Anyway, they were all rich and would not fight over this. Anyway, they would just invite him back next time and take turns to be the banker.
"Okay, I'll make a reservation when I get back in the evening. This time I'll treat you to a private meal, and I guarantee it's so delicious that you won't be able to get lost." Bai Minyun said with a smile.
"I want to order some food. I want to eat roast duck." Fang Peizhen said hurriedly.
Bai Minyun smiled and said, "Okay, as you say."
A few people were chatting and laughing, telling each other some interesting stories. Su Qing also talked about some of her experiences in the mountains, which made a few people stunned.
Zhang Lianchuan's eyes widened: "Sister Su Qing, aren't you afraid of going into such a deep mountain alone? What if you encounter a wild animal?"
"Hey, Zhang Lianchuan, could you please stop being such a pessimist and just say spit. Good luck and no taboos." Bai Minshan hit Zhang Lianchuan on the shoulder. Bai Minshan had some psychological trauma about going into the mountains to collect herbs. Once, he went into the mountains with his family elders to collect herbs and encountered a wild boar weighing three or four hundred kilograms. If the wild boar had not been injured at that time, he and his elder would have been injured by the wild boar. Even though he managed to escape, he sprained his ankle because of panic. After that trip, he didn't dare to go into the mountains for a long time.
So, when he heard Zhang Lianchuan talk about encountering a wild beast in the mountains today, that horrible memory suddenly hit him.
"Ah, bah, bah, bah, I just said it casually. We will definitely not encounter any danger." Zhang Lianchuan also felt that he should not have said it. After all, people who go into the mountains to collect herbs are afraid of encountering ferocious beasts. The lucky ones will get injured, but those with bad luck can lose their lives.
Su Qing smiled and didn't mind: "I'm fine, I can beat them away."
"What!" As soon as Su Qing finished speaking, several people's eyes widened, looking at Su Qing in disbelief. However, when they thought about the time when Su Qing went into the thieves' den in the mountains and went very deep into the mountains, they felt that Su Qing was telling the truth, and immediately gave Su Qing a thumbs up, saying, "You are awesome!"
As he was talking, Tang Mo pointed to the door and said, "Hey, Zhang Lianchuan, your second uncle is really here."
"Ah!" Zhang Lianchuan was also surprised: "My second uncle is here?"
As he spoke, Zhang Lianchuan looked towards the door and saw his second uncle coming in. However, there was a young man beside his second uncle. He asked curiously, "Hey, my second uncle brought his friends here!"
Su Qing also looked in the direction where the others were looking, and saw a middle-aged man in a gray-brown tweed coat walking in with a shorter young man, talking and laughing. He greeted the host with a smile. The middle-aged man in the tweed coat looked 50% similar to Zhang Lianchuan. Obviously, this was Zhang Lianchuan's second uncle.
"Sure." Bai Minshan said to Zhang Lianchuan, "The age of your uncle's friends is getting younger and younger. That person is only a few years older than us."
"Yeah, he looks to be in his twenties." Zhang Lianchuan nodded: "But, this person is also studying Chinese medicine? When did my second uncle make friends with people studying Chinese medicine?"
In Zhang Lianchuan's impression, his second uncle only made friends with people in the antique circle, who were all quite old, and he rarely had friends as young as him.
Listening to what several people said, Su Qing narrowed her eyes slightly. She didn't know why, but she always felt that she disliked the feeling of the young man who came in with Zhang Wenqi.
Ever since her wood-type ability was upgraded to the sixth level, she has become more sensitive to people's aura. The aura of some people makes her instinctively feel very uncomfortable.
For example, the young man who came with Zhang Wenqi was still far away at this time, but such a long distance already made Su Qing feel a little disgusted.
