The next morning, Li Maocai came to the door again to welcome his master to the house for a banquet.

The Li Mansion is also located on West Chang'an Street, adjacent to the former Xujie Mansion.

When passing by, Zhao Hao found that the plaque of the 'Xu Mansion' was not taken off, and there were still people living inside.

Following the master's gaze, Li Maocai said from the side: "This is the private property of Xu Ge's hometown. Now there is a manager named Xu Wu who is taking care of him. A while ago, a man named Lu Guang came and worshiped gods everywhere in the capital."

Zhao Hao glanced at Li Maocai. Needless to say, Lu Guang must have been to his house.

He knew that Lu Guang was a social activist as famous as Shao Fang. Well, he was actually a broker.

Speaking of which, the hero Shao is also in the capital, and has been working hard for Gao Gong to recover, and there is a sense of the fact that the demons dance around.

While talking, Li's mansion arrived. But the carriage did not stop. Because there were people queuing up at the door to pay homage, Li Maocai told his master that he wanted the coachman to drive to the back door.

Zhao Hao looked through the car window and looked at the well-dressed crowd, posting and queuing, and there were hundreds of people in total.

Mr. Zhao couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Everyone said that Li Chunfang was the chief minister who was made of paper, but there were many officials who came to worship God. That sentence was indeed true. People respected your official position, so no matter whether the person sitting in the seat was a human or a dog.

~~

Li Chunfang was resting today, wearing a home-based Yuanse, waiting for Zhao Hao in front of the Huayin Hall in the backyard with a smile.

"Meet Yuanfu."

"Hahaha, after Mr. Zhao has been separated for many years, his youthful style is better than the past." He grabbed a step, held Zhao Hao who wanted to salute, and pulled him into the table intimately. "You are the teacher of the dog, so we should not be polite."

The chief assistant is approachable and better than his ex.

The two sat down in the Huayin Hall. Li Maocai stood by, took the teacup sent by his maid, and personally presented the two with incense tea.

"This is the Mingqian Longjing given by Your Majesty the day before yesterday. Mr. Zhao probably hadn't come down yet when he left Jiangnan." Li Chunfang picked up the teacup and gently stroked the cup lid.

"No." Zhao Hao smiled and shook his head. In fact, among the various generous gifts he brought to the prime minister, there were ten jin of Longjing, Mingqian.

He took a sip, praised a few words, then put down the teacup and started greetings with Li Chunfang.

Li Chunfang's speech does not break away from the ruling of traditional literati. She likes to lay out subtlety, and talking to him is just the same word, and it is tired.

Zhao Hao was patient and heard that he was covered in mist. At least he understood that he wanted to take care of Mr. Xu and told Hai Rui not to kill him.

Mr. Zhao was secretly amused when he heard this. It didn’t work for the Prime Minister to write a letter in person. He actually asked him for it again. What kind of decent thing is it?

If it was a peaceful situation, the sea was peaceful and the river was clear, it would be better to have such a good temper and not to bother with a big leader.

Unfortunately, the big ship of the Ming Dynasty was already full of holes from front to back, from inside to outside. However, the helmsman was still lukewarm and did not want to offend others, that would be a big mistake.

Zhao Hao responded with a wry smile, saying that he would try his best to persuade him, but who could shake people like Hai Gong? So he should not have too much expectations.

"Oh, yes..." Li Chunfang closed his sleeves with deep understanding and smiled bitterly: "This Haigangfeng is not right to be dedicated to the people, but it is too fussy. Huating Duke has made contributions to the country, to the officials, and to him. He has no room for nothing to do, and he will inevitably be said to be 'ungrateful' by the way."

"You don't know that now there are not one or two people who impeach him. They say that Hai Gangfeng is a man who seeks fame and makes trouble for the law and discipline, and is completely inconsistent with the way of becoming an official. He allows the unruly people to sue the gentry and the fish gentry. This has led to the news that "it is better to complain about thinness than to plant fat fields." After a pause, the chief assistant sighed again:

"I'm also saying that Hai Rui forced his new policy to Yingtian, which led to the precious silver and goods being cheap, the luggage is blocked, the fireworks are cut off, and the people are in trouble. These bullets were suppressed by me, but he was also restrained. It should be noted that the public is angry and I don't have the ability to cover the sky with one hand."

When Zhao Hao heard this, he couldn't help but feel angry and sneered: "I've seen this very much today. What a fish and meat guru, who turned black and white to this level. No wonder people say, 'All censors can be killed'!

"Haha, Mr. Zhao is still young and energetic." Li Chunfang couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's fine to say this to me, but don't say it when you go out."

As he spoke, he advised Zhao Hao earnestly: "Those censors are very difficult. If you want to make a difference, try not to mess with them."

"I'm sure to be taught." Zhao Hao nodded. This was a good word. The censors of the Ming Dynasty were worried. Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng couldn't stand it. The past two years were a critical period for their career growth. If they were on the line against Wangwang team, even though they would not be bitten away, they would be very dragged.

Li Chunfang said that he would stop when he was right. Since he had already expressed his meaning, he would not talk about it anymore. So he changed the topic and asked about some scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, news about old friends, etc., and asked Xu Wei specifically.

When the painter Lonely Dian was still Shuangdan, he had a class at Li Chunfang's mansion. Although it was a bad time at that time, the time had changed. Of course, the Prime Minister had to show his prime minister's mind. In fact, when Zhao Hao was able to run for Xu Wei's execution outside the prison, Li Xianggong wrote a note to the Southern Ministry of Justice.

When it comes to this topic, the atmosphere of the conversation becomes much more harmonious.

After chatting about another cup of tea, the butler came over to invite the guests to move to the front hall for meals.

Zhao Hao and Li Chunfang and his son came to the front hall where the breeze was breeze and the shade of flowers was covered with flowers. They saw four meat, four vegetables, eight cold dishes, and sixteen exquisite Huaiyang dishes on the huge round table.

Tableware is also a complete set of Chengkiln colorful. Although Chenghua is less than a hundred years old, it is the most expensive porcelain of this dynasty, and it is said that "a pair of cups is worth 100,000 yuan." Is this whole set of one, probably dozens or hundreds of pieces?

The family banquet of the chief minister was indeed extraordinary.

Fortunately, Mr. Zhao is also a person who drinks tea with Jianzhan now, and is immune to these things worth billions of dollars in the future.

Li Chunfang invited Zhao Hao to the seat, and the two of them took the seat separately, and Li Maocai was with him.

Zhao Hao can drink some vegetarian wine now, so he started drinking with Xianggong Li.

"Come on, try this famous dish from Xinghua, 'Spread wild turtle pigeon eggs'." Li Chunfang personally held a spoon and chopsticks in her hand, picked up a turtle leg for Zhao Hao and scooped a pigeon egg. She greeted him with a spring breeze on her face and said, "Let's see if you are qualified to be very fresh?"

Looking at the turtle legs and pigeon eggs in the colorful disc, Mr. Zhao thought to himself that this is a 'bastard'?

Zhao Hao secretly held back his smile and tasted it. It was indeed tender, fresh and fragrant, and it was considered a treasure for the banquet. Of course, he had to praise it according to the etiquette of the dining table.

"It's a pity that I used local turtles, not the old turtles in our Gaoyou Lake, and the taste was still a little bad." Li Chunfang sighed regretfully, "Hey, I don't know when I can taste the turtles in my hometown again?"

Zhao Hao thought to himself, there was the thought of Zhang Jiying, a Jiangdong infantry, in ancient times, and now there was the thought of Li Shilu, a turtle of the left cavalry of Huai. Li Xianggong did not allow the ancients to be beautiful in front of him.

He complained in his heart, but nodded with agreement on his face and deliberately said: "Indeed, the canal is now cut off and freight is not available from the north to the south. At least it is probably a bit difficult to eat the ingredients from the south."

"Yes." Li Chunfang nodded and sighed: "At least two years, the canal transportation is no longer worth it."

Mr. Zhao smiled and said, "But Yuan Fu wants to eat Xinghua old turtles, what's the problem? I'll let you bring dozens of them next time the fleet will bring you."

"Hahaha, why do you need that much?" Li Chunfang couldn't help but laugh and said, "You will get nosebleeds."

"Seal it and eat it slowly." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "But shipping is better than convenience. You can get to Beijing in ten days by departing from Jiangnan. You don't have to transport so much at a time. Just eat as you arrive."

"No need to be so troublesome, just try it." Li Chunfang nodded in a vague way and picked up another dish for Zhao Hao: "Come on, taste this taro stewed meat, which is made of authentic dragon taro."

It means, this is from our local area in Xinghua, you have nothing to say, right?

Mr. Zhao tasted it, and it turned out that the more the powder and the more fragrant it became, the more fragrant it became. He put down his chopsticks and said, "The Long Xiangtao in Yuanfu's family is not in stock, right? Next time I will ask someone to transport a few baskets from the sea."

Li Chunfang's mouth twitched, and the spoon in her hand almost landed. She thought to herself that this kid was really persistent and never left the shipping line. It seems that as long as she doesn't express her opinion, she won't be able to eat Ansheng for this meal.

He smiled and pointed at the fish plate, imitating Zhao Hao's words, "This is the famous 'first-grade white fish' in Huaiyang. It is said that this white fish usually lives in the canal and eats the rice leaked from the canal ship, so it is fat and big, and the taste is extremely delicious."

Zhao Hao's heart moved. Is the Prime Minister talking about himself? It shouldn't be so, so what he is talking about is the Caoyun Group.

"However, although this white fish is delicious, it is very fierce. If you don't pay attention to it when fishing, it will bite people." Li Chunfang said meaningfully.

Zhao Hao thought to himself, have I never caught fish by bullying me? If you want to say that black fish is almost the same as biting people, can white fish bite a turtle?

But Shoufu Li is just a comparison. Of course, he can't get involved in such details, so he nodded with a teaching.

"With the canal transportation, these white fish have a hard time, and it will be even more fierce." Li Chunfang looked at Zhao Hao deeply and said, "Don't force them too much, otherwise they will not be able to eat meat, but they will also have to be bitten hard."

"Just don't touch them." Zhao Hao smiled faintly and said, "In fact, river fish are fishy and thorny, far less delicious than sea fish."

"But everyone is used to eating river fish, and may not be able to accept sea fish." Li Chunfang sighed softly.

"That's because they haven't eaten it, and they get addicted after eating it a few times." Zhao Hao smiled confidently and said, "The sea fish is delicious, but it's delicious if you have eaten it."

"Yeah." Li Maocai nodded from the side and said, "Last time I was in the hottest taste, I ate a steamed huanghua. It was extremely delicious and melted in the mouth. It had not been thorny yet. It was indeed more capable than this white fish..."

"Stop!" Li Chunfang glanced at her son unhappily.

"Eat your meal." Zhao Hao also said helplessly.
