Jiang Bai was chatting and drinking with friends here, but Hu Tao was not very happy. Diaphragm

She hung upside down in the gazebo in Zhongli's courtyard with her legs hooked to the beams, her long hair hanging down and almost falling into Zhongli's cup.

"Ah, I'm so bored......" she muttered as she swayed, her hair hanging down like swaying seaweed.

Zhongli removed his teapot and teacup so that no hair would fall into it.

"Hasn't Jiang Bai come back yet?"

"yes, that guy has been in Mondstadt for a week, and I'm bored without anyone to play with......" she said with her hands down, her expression expressionless and loveless.

"Then the hall master might as well come with me to dinner, a new winter man I know invited me to dinner in the Liuli Pavilion."

Hu Tao's eyes lit up when she heard this, and the fun people finally had fun that they were interested in, and she came back to life. Diaphragm

With a force on her waist, she turned back from her upside-down position, and with a flip fell off the beam, and sat down opposite Zhongli.

"Solstice? Do you come to Liyue for business? Interesting? When did you meet? Why did he invite you to dinner? "Hu Tao's questions are one after another.

Zhongli's tone was not hurried, "I met some time ago, he took the initiative to find me, but I am indeed an interesting person, and the hall master should be interested." ”

"Interesting people?" Hu Tao became even more energetic when he heard this, "Looking for you?" What are you looking for? Authenticating antiques? Tasting paintings and calligraphy? Or do I want to ask you to do something? ”

"The hall master is so curious, won't you know when you see it in the evening."

"If you say that, then this person is definitely not an ordinary person, and I am even more curious about his identity!"

"It just so happens that I'm going to bring a gift to this new friend as a return gift, and the hall master will help me with the staff." Diaphragm

Curious, Hu Tao followed Zhongli to the place where he bought gifts, and when he saw the things on the shelves, Hu Tao felt a little bad.

"Hall Master, do you think it is better to give a gift than this pair of [Coiling Dragon and Withered Phoenix Fast], or this pair of [Golden Jade Qilin Fast]?"

Hu Tao covered his heart, these two pairs of fast children, one pair of 128,000 Mora and one pair of 185,000 Mora, neither pair is cheap.

"Can you not send Kuaiko?" Hu Tao felt his throat a little dry.

"If you don't send Kuaiko, then send a set of teapots." Zhongli lowered his gaze to the teapot on the other side.

Hu Tao glanced at the price of a set of teapots, and her eyes were stung by the zero on it.

Hu Tao quickly took out his wallet, "No, no, let's buy Kuaizi!" This double-disc dragon withering phoenix is very good soon! Boss, wrap me up with these fast boys! "Ahh

"Thank you, Master." Zhongli smiled very happily.

Heart-wrenching to pull out Mora, Hu Tao glared at him viciously, "Your salary is gone this month!" ”

Carrying a fast son worth 120,000 yuan, Hu Tao followed Zhongli into the gate of the Liuli Pavilion.

"Mr. Zhongli, please." The shopkeeper led the two into a private room.

In the box, a young man with light brown hair sat in it, holding a pair of tachyon in his hand, and was struggling to learn how to use it. When he saw Zhongli, his eyes lit up and he stepped forward to greet him.

"Sir, you're here, take a seat."

His gaze fell on Hu Tao, where Zhongli lived, "Who is this?" "Ahh

Zhongli gave him a brief introduction, "This is the hall master of our Afterlife Hall, surnamed Hu. ”

"It turned out to be the master of Hu Hall, and I have admired it for a long time! Come on, come on, please be seated! ”

"Keqing, introduce me quickly!" Hu Tao sat in his chair and winked at Zhongli.

"I don't need Mr. Zhongli to introduce me, my name is Tartaglia, I am the envoy of the Solstice, the eleventh seat of the Fatui executive officer, codenamed [Childe]." Tartaglia smiled brightly.

From the outside, this is a sunny and confident person who has no shelves and is easy to get along with.

"Is it such a big shot! Shake hands, shake hands! Hu Tao looked extremely surprised, stretched out his hand and shook it vigorously.

"Joke again, in Liyue, a figure like you, Master Hu, is the big one!" Tartaglia blew each other very highly, "I've been hearing Mr. Zhongli talk about you before, and today I can finally meet you, you are as beautiful as rumored!" "Ahh

Listening to this Tartaglia's praise, Hu Tao inexplicably remembered Jiang Bai.

Compared with Jiang Bai's rainbow farts stacked with a bunch of words, this praise is a little less meaningful.

Hu Tao waved his hand, "Praise is praise, beauty is just a very worthless advantage for me......"

"Hahaha, Hall Master Hu's personality is really different!"

After a pleasantry of greetings, the atmosphere also came alive.

Even if there are only a few people eating, the table is full of food, showing the wealth of the person who entertained the guests.

"I don't know your taste, Mr. Zhongli, I ordered the specialty dish recommended by the store." Diaphragm

"Thank you for your hospitality, I wonder how your fast son learned [Childe]?"

Tartaglia's face was a little distressed, "Even though I've lived in Liyue for a while, I still don't need to ...... Kuaiko."

"For people who don't usually use tachyons, it's really hard to learn how to use tachyons." Zhongli handed over the wrapped gift, "This is a gift I bought on the road, I hope Childe will practice more and master the use of Kuaizi as soon as possible." ”

Tartaglia took out the fast son and smiled bitterly, "It seems that you have to master it now......

"By the way, how did you meet?" Hu Tao was quite curious about how Zhongli knew this Fatui executive.

"I heard that Mr. Zhongli is a Taoist and knowledgeable, so I want to make friends."

Hu Tao raised his eyebrows, "Our Death Hall is a serious organization, and we never do anything that violates the law and discipline, if you want to find us to do something shady, I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person." "Ahh

"How so?" Childe waved his hand, "I admire Mr. Zhongli's knowledge, and I want to know more about Liyue, after all, I still have to stay in Liyue for a long time, so I don't know how to do it?" ”

"If you want to know more about Liyue, you can't go to him, we are very familiar with Liyue's customs and habits, and he can tell you a thing or two about even a pot of ordinary dishes......

】

Zhongli drank tea quietly, listening to Hu Tao and the envoy of the Solstice.

Obviously, the host and guest of this banquet are him, but Hu Tao looks like a rice eater when he comes.

But Hu Tao's next sentence made his calm expression change a little.

“...... Didn't you say that you often hear Keqing mention me, what does he usually say about me? ”

Tartaglia glanced at Zhongli, who looked up, "Uh, this is ......."

It's just polite words that often mention something, and Zhongli only mentions this Hu Hall Master once or twice.

And every time he mentions it, he shakes his head, sighs, and then there is no follow-up, what do you want him to say?

In Zhongli's gaze, he saw sweat on his forehead, "Mr. Zhongli said that Master Hu has a unique personality, a flexible mind, and a lot of wonderful ideas......"
