The next morning, Li Maocai came to the door again to welcome the master to the banquet.

The Li Mansion is also on West Chang'an Street, adjacent to the former Xu Jiefu.

When passing by, Zhao Hao found that the plaque of 'Xu Mansion' had not been removed, and there were still people living in it.

Following the master's gaze, Li Maocai said from the side: "This is the private property of Xu Ge's hometown, and now there is a steward named Xu Wu who is taking care of it, and there is a man named Lu Guang who worships God everywhere in the capital a while ago." ”

Zhao Hao glanced at Li Maocai, needless to say, Lu Guang must have also been to his house.

He knows Lu Guang, a social activist as famous as Shao Fang. Well, actually, it's a broker.

Speaking of which, that Shao Daxia is also in the capital now, and he has been working hard for the recovery of the high arch, and there is some meaning of the demons dancing wildly.

While speaking, the Li Mansion arrived. But the carriage didn't stop, because the door was full of people waiting in line to pay respects, so Li Mao confessed to the master and asked the coachman to drive to the back door.

Zhao Hao looked at the well-dressed crowd through the car window, and there were hundreds of people who posted and queued.

Zhao Gongzi couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said that Li Chunfang was the first assistant of the paper paste, but there were many people who came to worship God. That's true, people respect your official position, so it doesn't matter if it's a person or a dog sitting on the seat.

~~

Li Chunfang was resting today, dressed in a homely Yuan color, smiling and waiting for Zhao Hao in front of the Huayin Hall in the backyard.

"Meet Motosuke."

"Hahaha, Zhao Gongzi has been going through the years, and his youthful demeanor is better than in the past." He took a step, supported Zhao Hao, who wanted to salute, and affectionately pulled him into the seat. "You're the dog's teacher, so let's not be formal."

Shousuke-sama is approachable and better than his predecessor.

The two sat down as guests of honor in the Huayin Hall, and Li Maocai stood aside, took the tea cup sent by the maidservant, and personally served fragrant tea to the two.

"This is the Longjing given by His Majesty the day before yesterday, when Zhao Gongzi left Jiangnan, he shouldn't have come down yet." Li Chunfang picked up the teacup and gently stroked the lid of the cup.

"Nope." Zhao Hao smiled and shook his head, in fact, among the various generous gifts he brought to Shoufu, there were ten catties of Longjing in front of the Ming Dynasty.

He took a sip and praised a few words, then put down the teacup and greeted Li Chunfang.

Li Chunfang speaks, does not get out of the trap of traditional literati, likes to be subtle, and talking to him is just a word, tired.

Zhao Hao was patient, and listened to him covered with clouds and mountains, and finally understood that he wanted to take care of Xu Ge Lao by himself, so that Hai Rui would not be killed.

Zhao Gongzi was secretly amused when he heard it, it didn't work for Lord Shoufu to write a letter in person, and he actually asked for it on his head, what kind of system is it?

If it is peaceful and the Haiyan River is clear, it is not bad to have such a good-tempered and untossed leader.

It's a pity that the big ship of Daming, from front to back, from inside to outside, has been riddled with holes. The person at the helm is still tepid, and he doesn't want to offend people, which is very inappropriate.

Zhao Hao replied with a wry smile, he would try his best to persuade him, but who could shake a person like Haigong? So don't expect too much.

"Alas, yes...... Li Chunfang clutched his cuffs in disapproval, and said with a wry smile: "This Haigang Peak is right to serve the people wholeheartedly, but it's too serious." How Hua Tinggong said that he also contributed to the society, was kind to the officials, and was even more kind to him, he left no room for it, and it was inevitable that he would be said to be 'ungrateful'. ”

"You don't know, it's not one or two people who impeached him now. They said that Hai Gangfeng was a person who sold his reputation and caused chaos in the law, and he was completely unfamiliar with the way of being an official. Let Diao people arbitrarily sue the squire, the fish and meat doctor. As a result, there is a rumor among the people that "it is better to plant fertile fields than to be thin". After a pause, Lord Shoufu sighed again and said:

He also said that Hai Rui forcibly pushed his new policy of Yingtian, which led to the cheap silver, cheap luggage, no fireworks, and poor livelihood. These bullets have been suppressed by the old man, but he is also restrained and restrained, you must know that the anger of the public is difficult to commit, and the old man does not have the ability to cover the sky with one hand. ”

When Zhao Hao heard this, he couldn't suppress his anger, and sneered: "Today is really a great experience, what a fish and meat doctor, he actually reversed black and white to this extent." No wonder people say, 'Anyone can kill anyone'!

"Hehe, Zhao Gongzi is still young and vigorous." Li Chunfang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's just a matter of talking about this kind of thing here, don't talk about it when you go out." ”

Saying that, he persuaded Zhao Hao earnestly: "Those officials are very difficult, if you want to make a difference, it is better not to provoke them." ”

"Be taught." Zhao Hao nodded, this is a good word. The Ming Dynasty's officials are worried, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng can't stand it, their careers in the past two years are a critical period for their careers to rise, if they go online with the Wang Wang team, although they will not be bitten off a piece of meat, they will be very delayed.

Li Chunfang is talking about stopping at the point, and since he has already said what he means, he will not talk about it anymore. So he diverted the topic and asked some Jiangnan scenery, old people's news, etc., and specially asked Xu Wei.

When the lonely egg painter was still a double egg, he was a western seat in Li Chunfang's mansion, although he was unhappy at the time, but time has passed, and Lord Shoufu of course wants to show his prime minister's mind. In fact, when Zhao Hao was able to serve Xu Wei outside of prison, it was Li Xianggong who wrote a note to the Southern Criminal Department.

Turning to this kind of topic, the atmosphere of the conversation is much more harmonious.

After chatting about tea again, the housekeeper came over and invited the guests to move to the front hall for dinner.

Zhao Hao and Li Chunfang and his son came to the front hall where the breeze was gentle and the flowers were full of shade. I saw four meats, four vegetables and eight cold dishes on the huge round table, and sixteen exquisite Huaiyang dishes.

The tableware is also a complete set of kiln multicolored. Don't look at Chenghua less than a hundred years ago, but this is the most valuable porcelain in this dynasty, known as 'a pair of cups, worth 100,000 yuan'. I'm afraid there are dozens or hundreds of pieces in this whole set, right?

Shousuke's family banquet was really extraordinary.

Fortunately, Zhao Gongzi is also a person who drinks tea with Jianzhan now, and he is immune to these things worth hundreds of millions of dollars in later generations.

Li Chunfang invited Zhao Hao to sit at the table, and the two sat down as the guest of honor, and Li Maocai accompanied him in the last seat.

Zhao Hao can now drink some vegetarian wine, so he drank it with Li Xianggong.

"Come, try this famous dish of our Xinghua, 'braised wild soft-shelled turtle pigeon eggs'." Li Chunfang personally held a spoon and chopsticks, sandwiched a soft-shelled turtle leg for Zhao Hao, and scooped a pigeon egg. The spring breeze greeted him and said, "Let's see if you are qualified to eat the taste very fresh?" ”

Looking at the soft-shelled turtle leg pigeon eggs in the colorful plate, Zhao Gongzixin said that this is not a 'bastard'?

Zhao Hao secretly smiled and tasted it, the meat was indeed tender, fragrant and delicious, and it could be regarded as a treasure of the feast. Naturally, you have to follow the table manners and praise it well.

"It's a pity that the local soft-shelled turtle is used, not the old turtle in our Gaoyou Lake, and the taste is still a little worse." Li Chunfang sighed regretfully: "Hey, I don't know when I will be able to taste the turtles in my hometown again?" ”

Zhao Haoxin said okay, in ancient times, there was the thought of Zhang Jiying of the Jiangdong infantry, and now there is the thought of Li Shilu of the Huaizuo cavalry. Li Xianggong didn't let the ancients specialize in beauty.

complained in his heart, but nodded with a look of agreement on his face, and said deliberately: "Indeed, now that the canal is cut off and the north and south freight are not connected, at least if you want to eat the ingredients from the south, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." ”

"yes." Li Chunfang nodded and sighed: "Say less about two years, Cao Yun, I can't count on it." ”

Zhao Gongzi smiled and said: "But Yuanfu wants to eat Xinghua old turtle, what's so difficult?" I'll let the fleet of ships in the next sea bring you dozens of them. ”

"Hahaha, why do you want so much?" Li Chunfang couldn't help laughing and said, "I'll eat nosebleeds." ”

"Raise it and eat it slowly." Zhao Hao smiled and said: "But shipping is more convenient, from the south of the Yangtze River, you can get to Beijing in ten days, and you don't need to transport so much at once, just eat as you go." ”

"Don't bother, just try it." Li Chunfang nodded vaguely, and then sandwiched another dish for Zhao Hao and said, "Come, taste this taro stew again, this is made with authentic dragon taro." ”

Meaning, this is our local Xinghua, you don't have anything to say, right?

Zhao Gongzi tasted it, and sure enough, the more he chewed the flour and glutinous, the more fragrant it became, and he put down his chopsticks and said, "The Yuanfu family's dragon taro stock is not much, right?" Next time, I'll have a few baskets brought over by sea. ”

The corners of Li Chunfang's mouth twitched, and the spoon in his hand almost landed. The heart said that this kid is really persistent, and he doesn't leave the sea at all. It seems that as long as he doesn't express his position, this meal is something he wants to eat.

He smiled and pointed to the fish plate, learning from Zhao Hao's words: "This is Huaiyang's famous 'first-grade white fish'." It is said that this white fish usually lives in the canal, and they eat the rice that leaks from the boat, so it is fat, big, and delicious. ”

Zhao Hao's heart moved, was Lord Shoufu talking about himself? It shouldn't be, then it's Caoyun Group.

"But although this white fish is delicious, it is very ferocious, and if you don't pay attention when you catch it, it will bite." Li Chunfang said meaningfully.

Zhao Haoxin said, bullied me for not fishing before? To say that a black fish bites a person, a white fish can bite a king?

However, Li Shoufu is a comparison, of course he can't dwell on this kind of detail, so he nodded with a teachable face.

"With this break in luck, these white fish have a hard time, and they are even more ferocious." Li Chunfang looked at Zhao Hao deeply and said, "Don't push them too hard, otherwise not only will you not be able to eat the meat, but you will also have to be bitten hard." ”

"Just don't touch them." Zhao Hao smiled faintly: "In fact, river fish are fishy and prickly, far less delicious and easy to eat than sea fish. ”

"But everyone is used to eating river fish, and they may not be able to accept sea fish." Li Chunfang sighed lightly.

"That's because they haven't eaten it, and they get addicted after eating it a few times." Zhao Hao smiled firmly: "The sea fish is very delicious, but anyone who has eaten it will say that it is delicious." ”

"Uh-huh." Li Maocai nodded from the side and said: "Last time, I ate a steamed rhubarb flower, which is extremely delicious, melts in the mouth, and has not been stabbed, it is indeed ......better than this white fish."

"Shut up!" Li Chunfang glanced at her son unhappily.

"Eat your meal." Zhao Hao also said to him helplessly

"Oh......" The current pollution-free Xiaoge old shrunk his neck, and said in his heart, I thought I was really talking about fish.
