Before the meal was ready, Li Rui received a call from Zhuang Haixia, and when she saw that the caller ID was her, her face turned green, and she said that she was having an awkward relationship with Qingman. I wanted to refuse directly, but I found that Qingman had already glanced at it, and if she hung up at this time, she would inevitably want to cover up, but it aroused her suspicions, and she was very helpless, so she could only answer embarrassedly.

Zhuang Haixia asked, "Have you arrived?"

When Li Rui heard this question, he was almost so depressed that he foamed at the mouth, and said in his heart that this beautiful reporter is really persistent, do you have to invite guests to dinner in Beijing, if you go alone, you can happily go to the appointment, but now there is a sensitive and jealous Qingman around her, where is the courage? Seeing that Qingman was looking at herself, lest she arouse her suspicion, so she said loudly: "Reporter Zhuang, can you let me take a break during the holidays, I don't want to talk about the matter of the Heiyaogou Coal Mine, I'm sorry, hang up." After finishing speaking, he hung up and complained to Lu Qingman: "Reporter Zhuang in Beijing called me again to learn about the progress of the case in Heiyaogou Coal Mine, but it annoyed me to death. Didn't she know that she was on vacation? Alas, depressed. ”

Lu Qingman turned his gaze away from his face and said, "It just so happens that you are going to Beijing this time, so take the time to meet with her and tell her everything you know in person, isn't it over?" Li Rui didn't know if she was testing herself or being sincere, and shook his head and said: "A holiday is a holiday, don't talk about work, and don't talk about business." I was ashamed in my heart. Lu Qingman said: "People have provided you with important clues, otherwise without her, how can you catch that coal mine boss? Lu Qingman said lightly: "You are not in a hurry, but people will never forget it." ”

Li Rui heard her use "never forget" to describe Zhuang Haixia's mood, and her heart moved, this beautiful reporter wanted to invite herself to dinner wholeheartedly, but where was the meal itself worthy of her many urgings? Could it be that she was a little interesting to herself? But no, the two had conflicts since the beginning of their acquaintance, and they had never been harmonious and friendly, even if they finally sent her away from Qingyang, they were almost stiff, how could she like herself? I thought again, from these four words, it seems that we can hear Qingman's inner jealousy, which is a bit bad. In the future, you still have to pay attention and try not to receive calls from any woman in front of her.

After the meal, while he went to the bathroom, he blacklisted Zhuang Haixia's mobile phone number, so that the mobile phone system would automatically intercept her calls and text messages, and he would no longer receive her calls and text messages in front of Qingman, and it should be much more peaceful in the next few days. As for the numbers of other women stored in the mobile phone, they have not been touched for the time being, because these women will not easily call.

After eating and continuing on the road, Lu Qingman wanted to open for Li Rui for a while, but he refused. Driving is a man's business, not to mention, how can he be willing to let his wife-to-be be tired?

At this time, there were two routes into Beijing in front of the three of them, one was to take Handan, Xingtai, Shijiazhuang, and Baoding to Beijing, and the other was to take Handan, Hengshui, Cangzhou, and Langfang to Beijing. The two routes are almost the same, and for Li Rui, the driver who came to Hebei Province for the first time, they are both unfamiliar routes, and it seems that it doesn't matter which one he takes.

He asked Lu Qingman's opinion, and Lu Qingman didn't have any ideas, so he asked Du Weiyu's opinion.

Du Weiyu is not very old and has a lot of ideas, saying: "I read history and know that Baoding, like our Qingyang, is a famous historical and cultural city, and it has been the provincial capital of Hebei for the past few hundred years, and there are many historical relics and historic sites. Why don't we take the route of Baoding, and also play in Baoding Mansion. Li Rui said with a smile: "When you talk about Baoding Mansion, I think of Guo Degang's cross talk, which always mentions donkey meat fire, and I want to taste it this time." ”

Lu Qingman frowned and said, "How do you listen to Guo Degang's cross talk?" Li Rui said: "Oh, is there anything inappropriate?" Lu Qingman said: "How vulgar his cross talk is, he makes fun of Yu Qian's family at every turn, and he doesn't smash it like this, it's shameless." Li Rui said: "When you talk about this, I'm also very helpless, do you think I don't like to listen to the works of cross talk masters, but the masters such as Ma Sanli have passed away, and these step-children behind them have almost nothing to listen to." Coupled with the political atmosphere in recent years, cross talk has completely declined. I really don't have anything to listen to, so I listened to Guo Degang. His cross talk, at first glance, is very vulgar, vulgar and kitsch, but do you think he wants to be so vulgar? Isn't it to cater to the tastes of the broad masses of the people? Besides, cross talk is just to have fun, and you can have fun, what kind of bicycle do you want? Let's make do with it. ”

Lu Qingman smiled and said, "What you say is indeed a little reasonable. Let's take "Wulin Gaiden", at first I also felt vulgar and didn't want to watch it, but then I watched a few episodes, hehe, and I got used to it. Li Rui nodded and said: "Now that the whole society is vulgar, don't force elegance." ”

Du Weiyu interjected and asked, "Brother, what does the decline of cross talk have to do with the political atmosphere?" She already regarded Li Rui as a quasi-cousin-in-law, so she called her more affectionately, and called him "brother" directly, unlike Song Xue who called him "Brother Xiao Rui".

Li Rui explained: "Cross talk is an art of satire, which comes from life, satirizing and degrading the ugly side and dark side seen in daily life, and fully exposing the most unbearable side of human nature in society, and the leaders of our country, from top to bottom, like to be praised and praised, and they are willing to see a harmonious and happy society, which produces contradictions." It is only ordinary artists who talk about cross talk, but the leaders all have power, and they exchange fire, do you say that cross talk dares not to retreat? This is why, now cross talk is no longer satirical, but has become a tool for singing praises of virtue. You see, the two clowns are either scolding each other and daring to make fun of themselves, or they are doing their best to praise and praise. The current cross talk is no longer the original taste. ”

Du Weiyu nodded as if she didn't understand, and said: "I said why I can't see any cross talk in the Spring Festival Gala in the past few years, and those cross talk actors have also changed careers, it turns out that there is a reason for this." Li Rui added: "Speaking of the decline of cross talk, of course, there are other reasons, but compared to martial arts, it is much better." Martial arts have undergone large-scale extermination campaigns at different times......" Lu Qingman shook his head with a smile and said, "What are you doing with Xiaoyu to tell this, don't let her get in touch with society too early, it's not good for her." Drive your car well. ”

After driving for more than four hours, the three of them arrived at Baoding Mansion before five o'clock. At this time, it was almost autumn, and it was dark early, and it was already dark before five o'clock.

Although it is about a two-hour drive to Beijing, Lu Qingman does not want Li Rui to be so tired, so he suggests staying in Baoding at night, waiting for a few historical and cultural attractions in Baoding tomorrow morning, and then driving to Beijing.

Li Rui has no opinion on this, the three of them found a hotel to live in, Li Rui himself lived in one, and the two sisters lived in one, and the dinner of the same day tasted the Zhili Baoding cuisine with local characteristics: the taste is salty, heavy, and fragrant, giving people a feeling of being wrapped in thick history and culture.

After eating, the three of them didn't sleep for the time being, so they went outside to hang out and feel the local customs. After talking with the locals, two attractions were identified for tomorrow morning, one is the Naoli Governor's Office, and the other is the Lotus Pond Academy. Then I went back to the hotel and rested early to prepare for tomorrow's activities.

After Li Rui took a shower, he sent a text message to call Lu Qingman to his room.

Seeing that he was only wrapped in a bath towel around his waist, Lu Qingman smiled with a strange expression, and asked, "What are you doing? Drying meat?" Li Rui took her into his arms all of a sudden, looked at her delicate eyes and asked, "Wife, are you angry with me?" Lu Qingman shook his head and said, "No, what are you angry about?" Li Rui said: "I told you about socializing the night before yesterday, and you have been messing with me all the time, don't think I can't see it." Lu Qingman said with a gloomy expression: "I'm really not angry, you didn't do anything to be sorry for me, I'm very happy." But it's a little annoying to think that you're doing this kind of socializing all day long. I also thought, our father, our uncle, are they all like this......"

Li Rui was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The matter of the elder, let's not speculate as juniors, what is the benefit to you after thinking about it? Besides, what you think must be correct?" Lu Qingman pursed his lips and nodded, and said, "Okay, I don't want to." In fact, it is not easy for you men, in order to gain a firm foothold in officialdom and have a good development, many things must be done even if you are not willing to do them. This is the person in the officialdom, and he can't help himself. Li Rui said: "Actually, it is not easy for you women. You're okay, you have a good father, don't you know, some women have to be forced to sacrifice themselves in order to keep their jobs. ”

Lu Qingman sighed and said, "Since you came out to play, why are you talking about this? Go to bed early, I'm going to visit the attractions tomorrow, and I'm going to drive a long-distance car." Li Rui said: "This is the first night of coming out to play, don't you express it?" Lu Qingman's face turned red when he heard this, his face turned unnatural, and he said in a low voice: "What do you mean? Xiaoyu is still waiting for me to go back and sleep together." Li Rui said: "Is it okay to kiss a few times?" Lu Qingman couldn't help laughing and said, "I haven't taken a bath yet......
