"Defu Building, that's a place for rich and noble people, one of the three most expensive restaurants in the capital."

After listening to what Su Hao said, Xu Guangzu smacked his tongue and said, "Su Hao, it seems that this eunuch still values you a lot." ”

Su Hao didn't know what Defu Building was in advance, and when he heard Xu Guangzu say this, he was also startled, and wondered: "My friendship with that Li Long doesn't seem to be up to this level, how could he choose such a good restaurant to invite me?" ”

Xu Guangzu said: "Whatever, let's go eat first." If you don't want to go, let me go for you. I have only been to Defu Building once in my life, and it was still a guest invited by Xu Shangshu in the past, and the porridge in that place was much better than other places. ”

"Uncle Xu, I'll invite you another day." Su Hao smiled, "This time, it's better for the little nephew to go by himself, whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, I haven't figured it out yet, how dare I let Uncle Xu take this risk." ”

Xu Guangzu laughed and said: "If Lao'er, my enemy can invite Lao'er to Defu Building, even if I bury a thousand sword and axe hands, I dare to go." Don't worry, this eunuch is inviting you to Defu Building, and he must want to make friends with you, it seems that you are really going to be developed. ”

Su Hao shook his head and said, "Li Long is so attentive, but it makes me a little unsteady." To be honest, I really don't want to get too close to these eunuchs, who knows if it's a blessing or a curse. ”

Xu Guangzu patted Su Hao on the shoulder and said, "Change, the most important thing in being a man is to have your own principles." As long as you have principles, you can be pampered and not shocked. This Li Long set up a banquet for you, and his intention is very clear, that is, he wants to snare you into his hands. Whether you want it or not, think it out for yourself, don't be confused for a while, and you will get on the thief ship by mistake. ”

"I understand, thank you Uncle Xu." Su Hao replied solemnly.

At the appointed time, Su Hao took He Bencheng and Xiong Minyang as his entourage, and followed the route pointed out by the little eunuch Jiang Di to Defu Building. The three of them approached and looked up, including Su Hao, they were all shocked by the magnificence of Defu Building, and words such as carved beams and paintings, golden brilliance and so on were not enough to describe the luxury of this restaurant. Su Hao has every reason to believe that in such a place, even if he just drinks a bowl of porridge, it is estimated that he will have to use up the expenses of ordinary people for a month.

"How many masters, do you have an appointment?" There are still more than a dozen steps away from the gate, and a small servant comes forward to greet him, and it is impossible for people who are not qualified to even come forward to smell the vegetables.

Su Hao took out Li Long's name card and handed it over. The little guy took the name post, just glanced at it, the expression on his face completely changed, his mouth seemed to have a mouthful of honey, and the words he said were extremely sweet:

"Oh, it turned out to be a guest invited by Gonggong Li, the little one was really blind, and he didn't even see your master. Please, Gonggong Li's Tianzi room on the second floor is already waiting for you to get old. ”

The little guy said babbling while bringing Su Hao and his party into the Defu Building. As soon as he entered the gate, the little eunuch Jiang Di greeted him and greeted Su Hao.

"These two brothers are my entourage, please take a pause in Gonggong Jiang." Su Hao pointed at He Bencheng and Xiong Minyang, and said to Jiang Di. Li Long invited him to the banquet, and he naturally couldn't bring idle people to see Li Long, so he had to entrust He and Xiong to Jiang Di to entertain them.

"It's good to say, the two brothers will wait downstairs for a while, and the younger one will come to dine with the two brothers." Jiang Di responded shrewdly, and a little servant who was already waiting on the side stepped forward, brought He and Xiong to a table, asked them to sit down, and then brought tea and fruits for them to enjoy.

Su Hao followed Jiang upstairs and walked into the so-called Tianzi room. As soon as he entered, he saw a large round table in the middle of the room, and some cold dishes were placed on the table, presumably until he had arrived as a guest. Although the table was large, there were very few people eating, and there was only one person sitting on the main seat at the top, and this person was naturally Li Long. Vientiane, the little eunuch who brought Su Hao back to the capital from Chongqing, stood behind Li Long, respectfully, ready to respond to all of Li Long's requests.

That's a big enough score...... Su Hao thought to himself in his heart. When Vientiane was in Chongqing, he was also arrogant, and in the process of going north, he drove the post men to provide services at various post stations, which can be described as majestic. But when he arrived at this place, standing beside Li Long, he couldn't even get a seat. Looking at his low-eyed appearance, it really makes people wonder if it is a different person.

"Ho ho, Brother Su is here, please take a seat."

Seeing Su Hao enter the door, Li Long stood up with a smile and beckoned Su Hao to take a seat. How dare Su Hao lose his courtesy, he took a step forward and bowed, and said, "Father-in-law Li, the student Su Hao is late, and I ask Father-in-law Li to forgive me." ”

"Oh, change it, why be so polite. Let's make an appointment for noon, you came on time, please take a seat. Li Long took Su Hao's hand and asked him to sit next to him, with a kind smile on his face, as if he really had eight friendships with Su Hao.

Su Hao said some kind words again, Li Long slapped his face, called the little guy in the restaurant, and ordered the food to be served.

"Why, let's ...... today Two? Su Hao pointed to the table and asked strangely. In fact, Vientiane was also in the room, and Su Hao had the heart to say that it was three people, but after thinking about it, since Vientiane had no intention of being seated, he naturally couldn't be counted among them. If he rashly included Vientiane, he was afraid that he would provoke Li Long to have a bad feeling for Vientiane.

"Today, you and my brothers will get together, and the rest of the people, our family has not invited." Li Long said.

Su Hao said: "Father-in-law Li, students must not dare to be called brothers to their father-in-law. The student is only a hundred households, how dare he climb his father-in-law. ”

Li Long said: "Change, in this house today, you and our family should not be polite." Our family can have today, thanks to the help of change, our family is not an ungrateful person, and what we promised to change will naturally be done. Of course, in the future, above the court, if we meet our family, we still seem to be more estranged, those rotten Confucians look down on people like our family, and don't be affected by our family. ”

"Where did Gonggong Li say, how dare he have such an idea?" Su Hao hurriedly said.

Li Long waved his hand and said: "What our family says is true, change it and do what our family says, our family will not remember it." ”

"Uh...... Then you can only follow the teachings of your father-in-law. Su Hao replied. Li Long's attitude seems to be very sincere, it seems that he really has the heart to cultivate Su Hao.

The little guy began to serve the dishes, and Li Long enthusiastically introduced the name, origin, and beauty of each dish to Su Hao, and Su Hao looked at these dishes and was secretly surprised. With the knowledge of his previous life, some of the dishes were not seen before, and this luxury can be imagined.

The two of them ate for a while, persuaded them to drink, and gradually began to get to the point. Li Long didn't hide anything from Su Hao, and directly told Su Hao and Pan about his situation for more than half a year.

It turned out that after Su Hao presented the Tonggushi gold mine to Li Long, Li Long immediately mobilized soldiers and craftsmen to mine. The mine offered by Su Hao was very shallow and of high grade, so it quickly smelted red gold.

Li Long sent people to send the mined gold back to the capital and presented it to Wanli, which was praised by Wanli. Since Jiajing, the inner government has continuously sent mine supervisors to various places, but there are very few who can really mine gold, let alone find a large gold mine out of thin air like Li Long, and the reserves are extremely rich.

Previously, Li Long had asked someone to dedicate the small makeup mirror given to him by Su Hao to Wanli's favorite concubine Zheng, this kind of glass mirror that could not be seen was really compared to the bronze mirrors of other concubines in the palace, Concubine Zheng was very happy, and outside the words, she blew a lot of pillow wind on Wanli.

The great merit of discovering the gold mine, coupled with Concubine Zheng's pillow wind, made Li Long's dream come true. He was soon appointed as the young eunuch of the internal official prison, and Wanli also promised him that in a few years, he would let the eunuch of the inner official eunuch retire and go to Nanjing to retire, and then straighten Li Long and become the leader of the internal official prison.

"Now that our family is in the palace, although I dare not say that it is under one person and above ten thousand, there are few people who can show our family's face." Li Longzhi said to Su Hao proudly.

"Congratulations to Grandpa Li." Su Hao flattered.

"It's thanks to you." Li Long said, "Our family has found someone to tell their fortunes, saying that you will change it to be the lucky star of our family's life, as long as you change it by our family's side, our family's good luck will never come to an end." ”

I see...... Su Hao seemed to understand a little. It seems that Li Long is not as grateful as he said, but he just regards Su Hao as his mascot, so he wants to be surrounded by him.

"This is Gonggong Li's own blessing, how dare he be greedy for heaven. By the way, Gonggong Li, I don't know what happened to the Holy Lord's announcement that I entered Beijing this time. Su Hao asked.

Li Long said: "Xuan you enter Beijing, this is what our family proposed to the saint." Didn't our family promise you, as long as our family is rich, we will definitely not treat you badly. Our family's plan is to announce that you will enter Beijing first and find a chance to meet the saint. When it comes to the Holy Dragon Yan Dayue, our family is beating the side drum next to us, what kind of official the Holy Lord wants to seal you, it is not a matter of words. ”

"That doesn't seem like a rule, does it?" Su Hao said, "Isn't this official requiring an exam?" ”

Li Long said: "Ten years of cold window, how hard it is, if you can recommend officials, why do you have to endure this hardship?" If the saint wants to use you, find someone to recommend you, and you can become an official. With our family's idea, you can go to the Ministry of Industry, first be a six-grade director, and after a few years, then be promoted to be a Langzhong, a waiter or something, which is very simple. ”

When Li Long talked about Lang Zhong and Shi Lang, it was like an old lady talking about the cabbage in the vegetable field, which made Su Hao feel emotional. As the saying goes: If there is no one in the court, it is too easy to be an official, on the other hand, if there is someone in the court, it is really easy to be an official, which makes those students who have their heads hanging from the beam and the cone thorn how embarrassed?

"Gonggong Li, when do you think the Holy Lord will summon us?" Su Hao asked.

"This ...... It's a bit of a hassle. Li Long, who was still in high mood just now, suddenly got stuck, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
