"Thank you just for your help, hahaha......"

In the side hall, Li Gongzi, who had reorganized his clothes, was talking and laughing with Fang Ping, but in fact, the two did not know each other's names and surnames so far.

This Li Gongzi is indeed a weirdo, but this kind of open-mindedness and uninhibited makes Fang Ping appreciate it very much.

"By the way, I haven't asked ...... yet."

"Hu Guide, from Heluo."

Fang Ping had already made it up. He wanted to use this Li Gongzi to listen to the news, but he didn't dare to reveal his identity, so he could only do so.

"It turned out to be Hu Gongzi!" Li Gongzi clasped his fists and smiled, "My name is Menglong." ”

"Dream Dragon?"

The corners of Fang Ping's mouth twitched: "Could Li Gongzi be born from Ling Cimenglong?" ”

"Huh, how do you know...... I've been with you at first sight before, and really, why do you have a heart! Li Menglong shook his head and sighed.

In order to gain his trust, Fang Ping could only accept it against his will.

The two sat down and began to talk.

This Li Menglong is really a weirdo, he doesn't like fame and fortune, but he knows all kinds of miscellaneous books and miscellaneous studies very well. All kinds of strange talks, strange people and strange things, the story is really like a treasure.

Fang Ping was just responding to peace, but gradually became interested.

"The most mysterious thing in this capital is the Night Patrol Division, which is said to specialize in dealing with fox ghosts......

"Brother Li, have you ever seen ghosts and gods?"

Li Menglong shook his head, and said with a longing on his face: "When I was born, a Taoist priest came to my family, saying that I was a bad star, a ghost and a god, and I could not be transferred until I was twenty years old...... I used to go to those haunted places, but I didn't see even a shadow of them. ”

Fang Ping nodded, and said in his heart that nine times out of ten, the old Taoist priest came to cheat and eat and drink, otherwise this Li Menglong is so old, isn't Li Shilang's family also good.

However, looking at Li Menglong's appearance, it seems that he can't see ghosts.

"The old Taoist priest has one thing to say." Li Menglong touched his chin and said, "Today happens to be my twentieth birthday, but I didn't expect it to be thundered." ”

"So evil?" Fang Ping was also a little surprised, he felt that something was wrong as soon as he said this.

Li Menglong nodded and pondered: "I haven't done anything bad, how could I be struck by lightning?" You were there, tell me, is that thunder a mistake? ”

"Perhaps...... Right? Fang Ping shook his head slightly, where is this.

The atmosphere is also in place, and it's time.

Fang Ping suddenly spoke: "Li Gongzi ......"

"Brother Guide can call me Menglong." Li Menglong said, reaching out and patting Fang Ping's shoulder affectionately.

"Brother Menglong......" Fang Ping said in a low voice, "Do you know anything about the affairs in the court?" ”

"I know a little bit about it." It seems that Li Menglong is not very interested in the affairs of the court. However, as the only son of Li Shilang, he must be more well-informed than ordinary people in terms of information.

Fang Ping covered his mouth with his hand and said, "Brother Menglong, do you know the history of Fang Yu?" ”

"Which Fang Yushi? Why is it so familiar...... Could it be the Supervision Department......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a light cough outside, and a kind voice called outside the door: "Xiuyuan, Xiuyuan!" ”

"Xiuyuan?" Fang Ping looked at Li Menglong in astonishment, there were only the two of them in this hall, obviously not calling himself.

Li Menglong covered his mouth with his hand and said, "Menglong is my nickname, and my big name is Li Xiuyuan." ”

Li Xiuyuan? Fang Ping only felt very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

At this time, a middle-aged man in plain clothes walked in, with a hint of kindness in his eyes.

"Xiuyuan, I heard from the housekeeper that you are disgraced again, you are all in the old age, can you be more stable......" Although it was a reproach, the concern in his tone was even worse.

Li Menglong smiled: "Dad, don't mention this." ”

He is Li Maochun, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites?

Fang Ping secretly observed Li Maochun, and at this time, Li Maochun also noticed Fang Ping on the side, only glanced at it, and then asked, "Xiuyuan, who is this?" ”

"Dad, he's my friend Hu Gongzi."

"Hello Master Li, in Xia Hu Guide."

Li Maochun said "um", and secretly said in his heart that although this Hu Gongzi was dressed plainly, he had an extraordinary bearing between his eyebrows, and he didn't seem to be a mediocre talent.

"Where is Hu Gongzi from?"

"People in Lower Luoyi."

Li Maochun said "um", asked a few more casually, and felt that Fang Ping could talk freely, so he planned to invite him to dinner together.

"Xiuyuan, this is also your friend?"

Li Maochun couldn't help frowning when he noticed the big beggar cowering on the ground.

Fang Ping glanced at Li Menglong, but saw that he stepped forward and grabbed Li Maochun's shoulder, and quickly whispered: "Dad, this matter is a long story, so I'll make a long story short." I was struck by lightning on the street just now, and it was this beggar who carried me back, so it can be said that he is my savior! ”

Li Maochun is no longer surprised by this only son of the dissolute skeleton, and gradually likes this kind of intimacy.

"Son, dad doesn't object to you making friends, but you also have to make some useful people......"

He cleared his throat and said in a dignified manner: "Since it is my son's benefactor, he naturally has to be hospitable." ”

Li Maochun glanced at Da Chong and ordered: "Come on, bring this ...... I went to wash up and was entertained with delicious food and drink. ”

He really didn't know what to call a big beggar.

Fang Ping also knew that it was impossible to get Da Chong to sit and eat with them. This Li Maochun is also a good person, and he must not treat the big seed badly, so he will go.

The two family members came up to guide the big seed, but the big seed was a little cramped, and glanced at Fang Ping worriedly.

Li Menglong waved his hand: "Go." ”

Da Chong was dragged down by the two family members, and Li Menglong led Fang Ping to the dining room, where the table of the Eight Immortals was already full of various dishes.

"Young Master Fang, please take a seat!" Li Maochun greeted.

Fang Ping politely replied with a few words, and then sat down. At this time, he realized that all the eighteen dishes on the table were all vegetarian dishes.

Li Menglong saw that he was stunned, so he explained in a low voice: "My father believes in Buddhism, so he eats vegetarian food...... Eat casually first, and then open a small stove later. ”

Fang Ping nodded, eating was not the goal, his intention was to listen to information.

It's just that in the face of Li Maochun, he didn't dare to speak rashly, for fear of arousing his vigilance.

With a few chopsticks casually, Fang Ping was thinking about how to open the topic, but Li Menglong took the initiative to ask: "Dad, has the imperial court decided the case of Heluo Imperial History?" ”

"You have never cared much about the affairs of the court, how can you ...... today?"

Li Maochun glanced at Fang Ping intentionally or unintentionally, and seemed to have guessed everything.

"Oh, no. I listened to the common people discussing on the street today, saying that Fang Yushi was a good official, alas, ......"

Li Maochun put down his chopsticks, sighed and said, "Fang Yushi is indeed a good official, alas, it's a pity." ”

"Master Li, I don't know how the imperial court will judge?" When Fang Ping heard this, he couldn't hold it anymore.

Li Maochun looked at it with a fierce voice: "I knew that the person who came was not good." ”

Fang Ping got up and arched his hand: "It's not a secret, Fang Yushi is gracious, and I hereby come to Beijing for this matter." ”

"A scholar, even food and clothing are a problem, what can I do?" Li Maochun was quite disdainful, and continued, "For the sake of you and Xiuyuan being friends, don't blame the old man for not reminding you, the water here is very muddy, no matter who you are, Mingzhe is the best choice to protect yourself." ”

Seeing Li Maochun so serious, Li Menglong couldn't help but feel that he was a little too unkind to Fang Ping.

"Dad, Hu Gongzi is also a person who values love and righteousness...... As the saying goes, the grace of a drop of water is reciprocated by a spring. Li Menglong persuaded, "Dad, you can tell us, what is the history of this party?" ”

Li Maochun was rarely angry, but this time he really couldn't be calm.

He pointed at Li Menglong and admonished: "Xiuyuan, you are idle all day long, and my father won't talk about you." But there are some people who can't be acquainted, and that's going to be fatal! ”

Li Menglong was also angry, threw his chopsticks on the table, and said angrily: "Isn't it just a matter of three or two sentences, you don't want to say it!" ”

"You, you!"

Li Maochun's face instantly turned red into a lantern, his chest rose and fell violently, and he gasped:

"Evil obstacles, what evil obstacles!"

Fang Ping didn't expect that Li Menglong and Li Maochun's father and son would have such an unpleasant quarrel, and they were about to open their mouths to mediate, intending to retire, but they heard an elegant and easy-going call from outside the house:

"Godfather, don't be angry!"
