69. Family banquet

Ying Sheng walked in was a jade-faced boy in a blue satin suit, and his appearance was Zhou Zheng, but Fang Ping had an indescribable disgust at a glance.

"Wen Cong, you're back!" Li Maochun's tone softened a little.

This person is Li Maochun's adopted son Zhou Wencong, who is four or five years older than Li Menglong. The industries under the name of the Li family are all taken care of by Zhou Wencong, which shows that Li Maochun has great trust in him.

Zhou Wencong stepped forward to gently stroke Li Maochun's back, and then bent down and whispered: "Godfather, Menglong is still young and ignorant, so you don't have to be angry with him." ”

"Still young?" Li Maochun was furious, "It's time for the people of the year of their establishment!" ”

He turned to Li Menglong and said, "Can you be as sensible as you Wen Cong, and you will know how to hang out with your fox friends and dog friends all day long." If you can have half of Wen Cong's success, the old man won't be so angry! ”

When Li Menglong heard this, his eyebrows suddenly rose, and he glanced at Zhou Wencong, but before he could speak, Zhou Wencong had already snatched the conversation.

"Xiuyuan, didn't my brother say you, my father is also old, can't you save some snacks." Zhou Wencong persuaded hard, glanced at Fang Ping again, and said disdainfully, "What's the use of making friends with people like this?" I'll take you to meet the sons of the capital another day, that's interesting......"

"What does my family's family affairs have to do with you, an outsider?" Li Menglong pointed at him and said coldly, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, don't forget, you are always surnamed Zhou, not Li!" ”

"Presumptuous!"

Li Maochun slapped it heavily on the table.

"The old man is not dead! The Li family can't take your turn to speak! ”

Li Menglong was extremely aggrieved, but he couldn't tell Li Maochun clearly. He always felt that Zhou Wencong was a white-eyed wolf who couldn't be raised.

Li Menglong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Dad, you're luring the wolf into the room, look at it, sooner or later you will regret it."

"Get out!" Li Maochun couldn't help but roar when he saw that he was going too far.

"Master Hu, let's go."

Li Menglong said, pulling Fang Ping's sleeve.

Fang Ping looked at the development of things, the dispute between his own son and his godson, although objectively speaking, it was indeed Li Menglong who was wrong first, but Fang Ping just looked at Zhou Wencong unpleasantly.

That guy looks like a red wine duck no matter how you look at it......

Zhou Wencong saw the two of them step out, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a hint of arc.

"Godfather, dissipate your anger!"

He handed over a cup of tea.

Li Maochun sighed and waved his hand rather depressedly: "If you don't drink it, you can't drink it." ”

Zhou Wencong hurriedly spoke: "Godfather, this is the big red robe of Lingnan. I know that my godfather loves to drink tea, and this time he specially brought it from Jiangnan. ”

"In that case, then I have to taste it." Li Maochun showed a hint of a smile, took a sip of the blue and white porcelain cup, closed his eyes and tasted it carefully, and nodded slightly.

"Yes, it's good tea. How is it, Ruping has taken it back and settled down? ”

Zhou Wencong said with a smile: "Naturally, don't worry, cousin Ruping is talking to her godmother." ”

"Well, this time I went down to Jiangnan to work hard for you." Li Maochun patted Zhou Wencong's hand, "You go down and rest." ”

Zhou Wencong bowed down and said "yes", and the resentment in his eyes flashed.

On the other side, Li Menglong took Fang Ping to the back garden, and poured bitter water with him all the way.

It turned out that soon after Li Menglong was born, his nurse came to the Li Mansion with the child. Zhou Wencong's father died early, and the kind-hearted Li Maochun saw the pity of their orphans and widows, so he accepted Zhou Wencong as his adopted son. After more than ten years, Zhou Wencong also grew up, and gradually showed his talent in business, and was trained by Li Maochun to become the chief shopkeeper of the Li family's business.

After Fang Ping listened, he felt suspicious. First of all, the most difficult thing to understand is, why would Li Maochun accept Zhou Wencong as his son when he has a son? In ancient times, as long as you got a "daddy", you could get a part of the family property, which was undoubtedly digging a pit for your own son. Is it just because of kindness? Or is there something else going on in it?

In any case, seeing Zhou Wencong just like that, Fang Ping also knew that he was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Brother Hu, it's not that I'm targeting Zhou Wencong everywhere, it's really this guy with bad intentions, pure on the surface, and bad in heart."

Fang Ping nodded: "I also think Zhou Wencong has a bit of a problem." ”

"yes!" Li Menglong saw that Fang Ping supported him so much, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became.

"When I was about six or seven years old, I went to the back garden with Zhou Wencong to catch butterflies, but I fell into the pond in a daze and almost drowned! Afterwards, Zhou Wencong was still acting in front of my father, with a handful of snot and tears, saying that he couldn't take care of it well and knelt all night. ”

"Another time, when he was fifteen years old, he actually dared to bribe other sons and daughters with money, and after my father found out, he began to act again to win sympathy......"

Listening to Li Menglong's example of Zhou Wencong's words and deeds from childhood to adulthood, Fang Ping also sat down in his heart, Zhou Wencong is a white-faced and black-hearted guy.

"Alas, the more I talk about it, the more angry I become!" Li Menglong said angrily, "I have a hunch that our Li family will be harmed by this Zhou Wencong sooner or later." ”

"Brother Menglong, it is a scripture that is difficult to read. Have you ever told Ling Zun about these things? ”

"Why didn't I say it, but he just didn't believe it, and said that I was a gentleman with the heart of a villain. It's infuriating! ”

"In that case......

Fang Ping was thinking about it, and another family came running over and hurriedly said:

"Childe, it's not good, then, that Hanako is gone."

"What do you mean by Hanako...... That's my savior! Li Menglong got up suddenly, "How could it be gone?" ”

The housekeeper said in a low voice: "I don't know the little one, it's just the blink of an eye when the food is served, and there is no one in the room." ”

Li Menglong glanced at Fang Ping: "Why don't you go and find it?" ”

Although Fang Ping and the big beggar were also meeting for the first time, they couldn't bring people into the mansion and ignore them, so they also nodded.

The two of them led them to the backyard guest room, which was specially prepared for the big seeds, with various meat dishes on the table and a bucket behind the screen still steaming.

The Li family really didn't treat the big seed badly, but they just don't know where this guy ran away without saying a word.

Fang Ping observed the surroundings, and when he was hesitating, he heard a dog barking from the courtyard.

He felt a bad feeling, and walked to the door to look into the backyard, and saw a dark shadow lying next to the kennel gobbling up.

"Brother Hu, this ......" Li Menglong twitched the corners of his mouth and shook his head, "To be honest, I've never seen such a personality when I'm so big." ”

It's really a dog that can't change eating!

Fang Ping walked over and pulled the big chop up.

At this time, there were still a few golden grains of glutinous rice and vegetable stalks on the corners of Dazhong's mouth.

With a "zila" sound, he stretched out his tongue and licked it along the corners of his mouth, licking the dregs from the corners of his lips clean.

"Dazhong, what are you doing!"

When Da Chong saw Fang Ping, his eyes dodged and said, "I just saw that there is food here, and it's a waste for this big guy not to eat it......

"Woohoo!"

The wolfdog barked wildly, as if accusing the shameless guy of stealing his dinner.

"There is wine and meat in the house, and you don't eat it, so you come to grab food from the dogs?" Fang Ping was speechless.

Da Chong waved his hand with fear on his face and said, "I don't dare to eat the food in the room!" ”

"Hey, is someone embarrassed for you?" Li Menglong thought it was something that his subordinates said.

Dazhong shook his head and said, "The people of the Gongzi Mansion are very good to me, the key is ...... I'm used to eating leftovers, but I can't eat big fish and meat. ”

"Damn, it's really hopeless." Fang Ping stroked his forehead with his hand, completely losing his words.

Li Menglong beckoned, and the other party said in a low voice: "I heard Taoist priests say before that everyone has bones. Good people have good bones, so they are willing to give. Wicked people have evil bones, so they do no evil, and if they don't do bad things, they will be miserable. The poor have poor bones, and the lazy have lazy bones, so they are all down and down all their lives...... I think that nine times out of ten, this big brother is a ...... with cheap bones."

Li Menglong's words sounded like a curse, but Fang Ping thought so, the two of them looked at this big beggar together, could it be that he really had cheap bones, so he was so cheap!
