On the second day, Hu Yuchun sent his younger brother Hu Yuzhen to Huazhou to pick up Zhang's home, Li Mao wanted to go west with Hu Yuzhen, but Hu Yuchun stayed there.

Meng Yingchun changed into new clothes, re-combed her braids, applied a little powder, and became a noble lady from a big family, Li Mao didn't dare to recognize it at first sight.

Yingchun Yingying bowed down and gave Li Mao a salute, Li Mao said: "Thank you for what I have done, you have today It is your pure goodness that has touched the world, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

Meng Yingchun said: "The first time I saw you, I thought you were a blessed nobleman, you know, we sell a bowl of tea is one, but I take two for most of the guests, but I just think you are rich and powerful, so I didn't dare to make a mistake." ”

Li Mao smiled: "I didn't expect that Yingchun turned out to be a profiteer. Meng Yingchun pouted and said, "No business, no treachery, what's so strange about this." The two were talking enthusiastically, Meng Yuanba helped Li Shi over, Li Shi coughed from a distance, and said to Li Mao: "Don't beat her idea, my daughter will never be a concubine." ”

In a word, Meng Yingchun's face was flushed, and Li Mao was also full of embarrassment. Li said to Meng Yingchun: "As a concubine, entertain people with sex, and love to run when you are weak, when you are young, you will be held in the palm of your hand as a treasure, and when you are old, you don't know where to leave you, you must not take this road, even if he is rich and rich!" ”

Li Mao smiled awkwardly and glanced at Meng Yingchun, it just so happened that she was also looking at Li Mao, looking at each other, and the two of them dodged separately.

After living in Hu's house for a day, Li Mao said goodbye to Hu Yuchun, but Hu Yuchun couldn't keep it again and again, so he asked people to take a plate of gold beads worth 100,000 yuan. Li Mao refused to accept the resignation, Hu Yuchun said: "The eldest husband has made a word, the horse is difficult to chase, my brother does not accept, how can Hu be a person in the future?" Qingmo was quick, grabbed two stuffs from the plate, and said, "There are too many things, cumbersome, and the rest is ...... I will store it at the house, and I will need to pick it up again in the future, how about it? ”

Seeing Hu Yuchun's hesitation, Li Mao said: "There is an orphan, I want to take him as a righteous son, see the old Qiu family store on the roadside of Jiaobeidian in the southeast of the city, please ask Dalang to send someone to take him for a few days, and I will come to pick it up again in the future." Hu Yuchun was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to fetch it. When the people arrived, they prepared an incense hall and asked the child to recognize Li Mao as his father-in-law, and asked for his name, called Qian Duoduo.

Hu Yuchun said with a smile: "Your parents are really experts in trading, and they gave you such a good name." He suggested that Li Mao change the child's name.

Li Mao said: "How dare you, his family has only this single seedling left, and his parents are still waiting for him to continue the incense and shine on the lintel." Mo Qi asked Qian Duoduo where his hometown was, but he didn't know.

Li was very happy to see the child, Hu Yuchun and Zhang have been married for many years, nothing came out, Hu Yuzhen has three daughters under his knees, the old lady misses her grandson very much, and when she sees this child, she empathizes with him and treats him as a baby.

Meng Yingchun asked Li Mao's address with a smile, and said that he would send a letter in the future, Li Mao was secretly shocked: This child is really smart, how do you know that I will not come to see this child again?

Out of Zhengzhou to the west, one day came to Luoyang City. Luoyang is also known as the eastern capital, for the Tang Dynasty to accompany the capital, and Chang'an is equally famous, its prosperity is not less than Chang'an, but after the destruction of the Anshi Rebellion, Luoyang's prosperity has been greatly inferior to before, plus the Anshi Rebellion after the emperor lived in Chang'an, no longer toured the east, Luoyang became more and more dilapidated.

However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the scale of the city and the magnificence of the palace are far from being comparable to the famous cities of Chengdu, Yangzhou, Bianzhou, and Weizhou, and they still deserve the name of the eastern capital.

Li Jie was obviously very familiar with Luoyang, he persuaded Li Mao not to go to any inn, and led him to a friend's house, the friend's gatehouse was open, and there were Dawan famous horses on the horse piles outside the door.

In the Tang Dynasty, Qinghai horses were the most durable, and Dawan horses were the most majestic and precious.

Qingmo glanced at those famous horses, and praised them: "All the taxes in a state are here. ”

Li Jie smiled: "I'm afraid it's not enough, all the good horses are kept in the back house, and those who are tied here are not in the stream." ”

Qingmo was speechless for a long time, and whispered to Li Mao: "I'm afraid I can't afford to buy a horse in my life." Mo Qi Shentong urn said angrily: "Even if you buy it, you can't afford it, no, don't worry!" ”

Qingmo scolded with a smile: "Look at this beard, the stinky temper has been committed again." ”

Li Jie communicated his name with the porter, but the porter did not report it, and directly led the four people into the house, this house is no worse than Hu Yuchun's house, and it is even more refined.

When he entered the third door, a young man with a handsome face and elegant posture came out to greet him, in his twenties, dressed in brocade and hat, and wearing a white face. powder, sprayed with high-quality perfume, seeing that Li Jie was very respectful, Li Jie raised his hand and returned the salute, so he introduced Li Mao, only by name, saying that he was from Caozhou, and he did not know his official position.

When the young man saw that he was Li Jie's friend, his expression suddenly became a little more respectful.

Lead everyone to a magnificent palace, the hall is brightly lit, the sheng song soundtrack, the aroma of fat powder mixed with the aroma of meat, wine gushing out one after another.

Qingmo's stomach grunted uncontrollably.

Knowing that Li Jie had brought his friends, the hall immediately vacated the seats of the four honorable figures.

Li Jie entered the hall, the music and dance paused, and a group of half-smoked sons and grandsons in the hall stood up respectfully to salute, calling "Mr. Bantang", seeing that these sons and grandsons were all dressed beautifully, with graceful postures, and the arrogance between the eyebrows was born with its own command, which made people look at it and feel pressured.

Qingmo has also seen big scenes with his conceit, but when he is here, he can't help but turn pale, his hands and feet tremble, his body is stiff, and his demeanor is sluggish, like a hairy boy who has never seen the world.

Li Jie walked calmly, others bowed to him, he only raised his hand slightly in reply, and his feet did not stop at all, and went straight to the throne vacated for him.

The host of this night banquet is surnamed Zhang Hongjing, in his thirties, with white skin and elegant **, when he heard that Li Jie arrived, he walked to the bottom of the corridor, held Li Jie's hand and said: "I heard that you went to travel to Runyang, when will you come back?" Li Jiedao: "The spring and summer in the south of the Yangtze River are the most charming, and in the autumn, everything is depressed, and I can't bear to look at it, so I come back." ”

Li Jie recommended Li Mao: "Zhang Yuanli, the official worships Lantian Wei, and he is a secretary in the Du Shangshu shogunate. I have no hobbies in my life, so I love to make friends from all walks of life. Especially heroes like Mao Hua. ”

The eastern capital stayed in Du Ya, and the official visited and inspected the school officials' department Shangshu, and Li Jie said that Du Shangshu was this person.

Qingmo glanced at this magnificent palace, and secretly said to the Mo Qi God Channel: "Obediently, the land of the Eastern Capital is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and a secretary can have such pomp and circumstance." Is this going to Chang'an? ”

Mo Qi has never experienced such a scene, and he can't help but feel a little nervous, but his concentration is good, and he sits like a mountain, so that people dare not underestimate him, and when he heard this, he snorted and said: "It's all two nostrils and two eggs, what are you afraid of him." ”

Qingmo sighed slightly, shook his head, and said sincerely to Mo Qishentong: "Brother, I'm not as good as you." (Dissertation College)
