The trees are towering, keeping out the scorching sun. The bamboo forest next to the Pen, Fun and Pavilion www.biquge.info is windy, and the water is murmuring, and the pomegranates outside have turned red. Under the rockery made of stones in Taihu Lake, Feng Shiyuan was lazily lying on the bamboo couch, drunk and hazy.

Several young women with thin gauze sat or knelt around him, took all kinds of seasonal fruits from several plates next to him, and brought them to his mouth.

Feng Shiyuan opened his mouth slightly, took a small bite of the soaked bayberry, and said with a smile: "I will eat the bayberry in Qingmei's hand." One day, the officials will gather all the beauties of the world here, and the good things they want to eat will have names for them! ”

Several young women laughed coquettishly and pretended to beat Feng Shiyuan.

When it was in a mess, a subordinate came in from outside the bamboo forest and saluted Feng Shiyuan: "Official, there are two down-and-out scholars outside, who want to see the official, saying that there is a wealth that has fallen from the world-"

Feng Shiyuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Needless to say, it's nothing more than a stupid poor person who is studying and studying again, and he came to me to fight the autumn wind." Just give them dozens of copper coins, two steamed buns and a piece of meat, and let them walk when they are full. ”

The servant said, "These two people are a little different, they don't look like they're here to eat and drink." They also brought gifts, which looked like wine and candy, and they were carried by one person. - Oh, here's the list. ”

A young woman got up, smiled and took the gift slip from the servant's hand and handed it to Feng Shiyuan.

Feng Shiyuan took the gift slip in his hand and said with a smile: "The world is not as good as before, have these measures also learned to give gifts?" When they came to me before, they came to ask for rewards, but one by one, their nostrils were facing the sky! ”

Among ordinary people, white sugar is still a precious thing, and it is a very important gift to go to other people's homes and carry a bottle of wine and two packs of sugar, which is very face-saving. No, Feng Shiyuan didn't bother to look at it.

Unfolding the gift list, Feng Shiyuan glanced at it twice, and unconsciously his eyes widened and his mouth widened. After a while, he slapped the gift slip on the bamboo couch and looked up to the sky and laughed.

The person next to him was inexplicable, and a young woman who knew some words picked up the gift list, unfolded it, and couldn't help but hide her mouth and laugh: "What kind of madman is here, who dares to entertain the official-"

The little sisters were anxious, and begged the woman to read the gift list to see what kind of rare treasures it was, so that their own officials, who had seen a lot of treasures in the world, were also out of shape. It's not a boast, in addition to the Imperial Palace, how many places are more treasures than the Feng Mansion?

The woman secretly glanced at Feng Shiyuan, saw that he was smiling, she was not angry, she cleared her throat and read: "Under the saint's door, Jinghu Road Li Zhongtan, Zhu Qi worships the feet of Taiwei Feng, and now brings a altar of clear water and two bags of loess to build the gate of Taiwei and discuss the plan of wealth and wealth." Born with wealth, a virtuous person takes it, and the captain is not a virtuous person? ”

Feng Shiyuan couldn't hold back any longer, looked up to the sky and laughed, and pounded the bamboo couch with his hand: "Where did these two madmen come from, it's interesting!" Interesting! How many guests do I have in my house every day, I have never seen these two! ”

When the servant heard the contents of the list, he could not help but sweat from his forehead. The two down-and-out scholars outside the door had to let themselves open the gift list to see, and they had to let the owner open it himself, it turned out that they were sending this kind of thing, is this a clear pastime?

Bowing to Feng Shiyuan, the servant said: "It turned out to be two ignorant fanatics, the little one went out and beat them away!" ”

Feng Shiyuan waved his hand: "No, no, such a wonderful person, how can I not see it?" You go out and let them wait in the little flower hall, and I'll be there right away!" ”

The servant was full of suspicion, and he didn't know what Feng Shiyuan meant, so he had to bow and agree, and withdrew.

Zhu Qi looked at the servant who had just come inside with a blue face coming out of the door, and couldn't help but feel weak, and said to Li Zhongtan: "Brother, I see that the master of this house doesn't like the gift we brought, so let's leave quickly." ”

Li Zhongtan said proudly: "If you want to achieve great things, how can you detain these small sections? He doesn't accept it, so let's change it. There are not many others in the capital, many are the homes of the powerful, and they walk over one by one. Listen to what this guy has to say! ”

The servant arrived in front of Li Zhu and the others, and arched his hand and said, "The two of you will go to the small flower hall and wait for a while, our master will come soon." ”

Li Zhongtan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, looked at Zhu Qi and smiled, and said to the servant: "Please ask the supervisor to lead the way." ”

Feng Shiyuan didn't change his clothes, just a white gauze robe, a pair of bast shoes with bare feet, his hair was scattered, and he slowly turned to the small flower hall. Before entering the small flower hall, I saw two men sitting there, both dressed in tattered green robes, with so many holes, that they couldn't even make a patch. Sitting on it was a medium-sized man with a white face and a rather large skeleton. , although down, sitting there is arrogant. The other was a little shorter and had a reserved expression.

The servants who wanted to come to the house were quite dissatisfied with these two people, and sat here for a long time, and they didn't even have a cup of tea.

Entering the Xiaohua Hall, Feng Shiyuan casually gave up his hand: "Two, it's slack!" ”

After saying that, he sat down on the main seat and let the servant standing on the side serve tea.

The servant brought the tea, Feng Shiyuan took a sip casually, and didn't speak, just looked the two people in front of him up and down.

These were dried here, and the tea couldn't be drunk, just like a monkey being played, Li Zhongtan couldn't hold back any longer, and protested: "Corporal Taiwei Lixian, everyone in the capital knows it, and it is called 'Xiao Meng'." Today, it is better to meet than to be famous! ”

Feng Shiyuan said with interest: "Why do you say that? But I'm slacking off in my house? ”

Li Zhongtan raised his head and said: "The two of us have been sitting here for so long, but there is no tea, no greeting. The captain came out of the mansion to meet guests, but he was wearing civilian clothes, how can this be the courtesy of the heroes of the world! ”

"Are you a hero? Don't see it? Feng Shiyuan smiled and shook his head. A jar of clear water, two packs of loess, my family is full of high-quality tea, please drink it, this business is not a big loss! ”

Li Zhongtan stood up and bowed his hand to Feng Shiyuan: "I think it's because the Taiwei doesn't know our methods, so he is so lazy." To tell you the truth, we scholars, our heroic methods are different from others, and we are clever and exquisite! ”

As he spoke, Li Zhongtan patted his heart hard.

Feng Shiyuan crossed his legs and said happily: "What do you have in mind, let's listen to it and see what kind of seven-trick exquisite method it is!" ”

Li Zhongtan said: "What I want to tell the captain next is a big deal, but this is not the place to speak——"

"In the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, which of the ministers in the imperial city is not shaking the world, that is the big deal! How can I believe what you say is a big deal? My little flower hall can't be come to anyone, why isn't it a place to talk? ”

Li Zhongtan sneered: "What if I'm talking about tens of millions of dollars?" Moreover, I have a way to send this money to the hands of the Taiwei, I don't know if it is a big deal in the eyes of the Taiwei? ”
