As the hour passed, Hua Yunfeng closed his books and was about to leave the study to go to bed, but suddenly found a person standing in front of him.

"Black-faced swordsman? It's you! Hua Yunfeng frowned.

"Just call me Pei Yue, there is no such thing as a black-faced swordsman in this world!"

"It's okay, Pei Yue! How did you get in? How long has it been in? ”

Pei Yue pointed to the half-hidden window and said, "I came in from there, and it was about half a pillar of incense!" ”

Hua Yunfeng smiled bitterly: "It's worthy of being a master, I didn't find out after half a pillar of incense under my nose, I'm really ashamed!" ”

"It's Hua Langzhong who is too engrossed in reading!" Pei Yue said indifferently.

Hua Yunfeng knew that Pei Yue was putting gold on his face, so he didn't care, but asked directly: "I don't know if you have any advice for coming late at night!" ”

"My housewife asked me to inform Hua Langzhong that she answered what you said, but I have to go with the little master!"

"You're going with you?"

Pei Yue's eyes flashed: "Hua Langzhong, you should understand!" ”

"Alright then!" Hua Yunfeng hesitated for a moment and agreed.

……

Hua Jingjing was glaring at Li Tao all the way, eager to swallow him alive. She really couldn't understand why her father, who had always been obedient to her, had become so abnormal.

Although Hua Jingjing has always looked down on Li Tao, no matter what, Li Tao saved her life, Hua Jingjing went to thank Li Tao, but she didn't expect to be humiliated. When she Hua Jingjing cried to her father, her father ignored his grievances and spoke to Li Tao wholeheartedly.

This time, it was even more bizarre that my father asked Li Tao to accompany my grandmother to celebrate my grandfather's birthday with an outsider. She repeatedly asked her father to theorize, but her father ignored her.

In desperation, Hua Jingjing had no choice but to resort to a killer trick - to complain to A-Niang. This trick Hua Jingjing has tried many times, in the past, as long as A-Niang came forward to intercede, Daddy would always lose.

But this time, when Hua Jingjing found A-Niang, A-Niang's words made her want to cry without tears: "Jingjing! Your father has his own considerations, and you are not too young to do everything by your own surname! I see that Li Tao is a good child, and your father has discussed the matter of letting him go to pay homage to his birthday together, and I agreed! ”

Listening to A-Niang's words, Hua Jingjing was dumbfounded: When did this Li Tao become a fragrant bait in the eyes of her father?

Li Tao couldn't see Hua Jingjing's dissatisfaction, he pretended not to know, but just talked and laughed with Pei Yue all the way. Li Tao is in a good mood, he has traveled for so long, except for being to Shucheng County, he has not been to any further places. Nowadays, being able to go out for a walk is indeed a thing that makes him feel happy.

The carriage in front stopped, and Mrs. Hua poked her head out and asked kindly, "Li Xiaolang, are you tired, do you need to rest?" ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Hua, I'm not tired, let's hurry!" Li Tao replied with a smile.

The two carriages continued on their way, one after the other.

Mrs. Hua's real name is Liu E, and her maiden home is in Tong'an County, which borders Shucheng County. The Liu family is a well-known scholarly family in Tong'an, Mrs. Hua's father Liu Gui once won the lift, the ancestors left a lot of family property, Liu Gui has a good heart, often help the villagers, so there is the reputation of Liu Shanren.

Liu Gui has six children, Mrs. Hua is the eldest daughter in the family, and there are five younger brothers under her. Perhaps because of the lack of girls, Liu Gui did not love Mrs. Hua's younger brothers, but Mrs. Hua herself, and even Hua Jingjing was doted on by Liu Gui.

……

On the eighteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the courtyard of the Liu family is lit up everywhere early in the morning, and the people come and go very lively.

Li Tao and Hua Jingjing stood in the shade opposite the gate of the courtyard, coldly watching the guests pour into the courtyard one after another, and the voices of congratulations were endless.

"Why don't you go in? Why do you want to stand here and watch the excitement? Li Tao had nothing to say.

"It's full of people, noisy people! It's better to stay here and be quiet! If you don't want to stay, just go inside! Hua Jingjing still doesn't have a good face for Li Tao.

Li Tao has long been accustomed to Hua Jingjing being like this, he is not in a hurry or annoyed: "Forget it, I'll stay here with you!" ”

After a while, Li Tao said again: "I'll tell you a joke!" Have you heard the story of Yugong moving mountains? ”

Seeing that Hua Jingjing was noncommittal, Li Tao said to himself: "Once upon a time, there was a man named Yugong, and there were two mountains in front of his house, and he was determined to remove the mountains. Zhisu laughed at him and said, "Human life is so long, how can it be?" Foolishness and justice, after I die, I will have a son. When the son dies, there will be a grandson, and the children and grandchildren will always move the mountain. The Jade Emperor was very moved when he heard this, and sent two strong and powerful men to help their family......"

"Come and help them move the two mountains, right? It has long been recorded in "Liezi Tang Wen", which is also a joke? Hua Jingjing scoffed.

"No, my ending is different from "Liezi Tangwen", the Jade Emperor sent two strong and powerful men to help their family...... Giving birth to a son......"

Hua Jingjing was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing out loud.

Li Tao made persistent efforts: "I'll tell you another joke about beggars...... Hey! It's really evil, say Cao Ye Cao is here! ”

Sure enough, not far away, a middle-aged beggar in rags, holding a dog beating stick in one hand and a broken bowl begging in the other, swaggered with the flow of people and wanted to mix half of the delicacies of the mountains and seas.

Hua Jingjing also saw the beggar, she smiled and said: "My grandfather is the most kind-hearted, even if it is for good luck, he will reward him with food, drink and a few small money."

The middle-aged beggar was stopped by the housekeeper Liu Zhong waving his hand at the entrance, but he didn't expect this beggar to be a thief, and he still kept waving his stick and shouting to break in. At this time, Liu Gui led his five sons out to welcome guests. Seeing this scene, he was about to speak,

The fifth son, Liu Hua, took the first step, rushed forward with a few punches and kicks, and threw the beggar to the ground with a scream.

Afterwards, Liu Hua scolded angrily: "Stinky flowers, thinking of my father's 60th birthday today, let's spare your life, don't get out of here!" ”

Hua Jingjing and Li Tao frowned at the same time: This Liu Hua is too disagreeable, today is a day of great joy, how can he add fists and kicks to people? Isn't this clear that Liu Gui will lose his life?

The beggar lay on the ground, squinting his swollen eyes and glancing at Liu Hua with hatred. He rubbed his broken leg and struggled to get up, but he didn't leave right away. Instead, he put the dog-beating stick and the broken bowl in his hand on the ground, picked up a handful of sand from the ground, held it to his chest, and said something in his mouth. Then he sprinkled at the gate of Liu's house with a "whoosh", and then the guy who picked up the food limped and disappeared into the huge flow of people amid the ridicule of everyone

Li Tao looked at Hua Jingjing suspiciously: "Do you know what he's doing?" ”

Hua Jingjing shook her head blankly: "I don't know!" ”
