In the blink of an eye, it’s August 15th.

In the capital, many wealthy families hung up lanterns, which was the scene of family reunions and friends meeting. The imperial court held lantern festivals in the east and west cities and relaxed the curfew. After nightfall, the city was bustling with activity, and a group of people gathered together to enjoy the lanterns.

Ju looked at the moon and guessed lantern riddles, which suited the occasion.

Baihua Tower is brightly lit and crowded with people.

Originally, today was a good opportunity to attract business. In previous years, many dignitaries, gentry, wealthy businessmen, and literati came here to listen to music and enjoy the lanterns. This year is particularly different. On the contrary, there are many more people from the world.

The commotion raged for several days, with Xiaosheng Jianghu adding fuel to the flames, Fan Xiaodao and Tuoba Bai's duel was scheduled to take place at Baihua Tower, and the busybodies from Beijing and Jianghu came here to join in the fun.

Fan Xiaodao booked a room in Baihua Building in advance. Of course, it's a separate courtyard or something. Just talk about it. That kind of place is elegant, but the cost of elegance is too high. The starting price is ten taels. Fan Xiaodao has less than five taels of silver in his body.

, reserved a seat directly in the lobby.

Although he had an IOU for the ten ingots of gold from the Consort Qian, he had not seen the Consort Qian since that day. In addition, he was busy with special training and had no time to ask for an account from him.

Of course, the main reason is that I am afraid of not being able to come up.

When Fan Xiaodao, Zhao Xing, and Niu Dafu arrived at Baihua Building, Li Beihai, who was dressed in plain clothes, had been waiting for a long time. When he saw that the reserved seat was in the lobby, his face immediately became unhappy.

After all, he is a person of status. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to dine with ordinary people and people from the world? Fan Xiaodao smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Li to be so concerned about this matter. Please sit down quickly."

Li Beihai was about to take the guest of honor seat when Fan Xiaodao said, "Sir, I also made an appointment with a friend, how about you be the deputy guest?"

Li Beihai put his hands behind his back and said proudly: "What kind of friend is so arrogant? Is it an official body or a white body?"

"He's an official, I guess."

"What rank? Is your rank higher than mine?"

Li Beihai, the deputy chief of the Tiluosi, was only from the sixth rank at best, but he concluded that Fan Xiaodao had just arrived and did not recognize any dignitaries, so he put on airs.

Fan Xiaodao scratched his head, "I really didn't ask about this."

Li Beihai immediately sat at the guest of honor seat, "I've already arrived, but he hasn't come yet. This is obviously not giving me face. Fan Xiaodao, there's something wrong with you."

Niu Dafu said: "It doesn't matter whether it's appropriate or not, as long as you have wine to drink and a girl to accompany you."

A waiter brought candied fruit and a cup of tea. Fan Xiaodao took a sip and smacked it, "It tastes pretty good."

Zhao Xing, Li Beihai, and Niu Dafu were gargling with tea. When they heard these words, they almost spit out their mouths.

"This is mouthwash."

Fan Xiaodao's face turned red.

Li Beihai said: "I'm a timid old man who has never seen the world. I'm hungry and it's late. Let's start the food and serve the wine!"

The waiter brought four cold dishes, six meat and six vegetables, and a jar of red meat. When Li Beihai saw it, he was unhappy, "I usually eat at home, and there are six cold dishes, eight meat and eight vegetables, nothing.

Xiaodao, you are not careful enough."

Fan Xiaodao said: "Sir, I'm new here. I haven't received my salary yet, and the subsidy money issued by the yamen is not in our hands. This table of food is just money borrowed from Niu Dafu. I was not sensible before.

I would also like to ask your lord Haihan, I will propose a toast to you first."

Li Beihai said: "You have invited us, and you have taken care of your wishes. There is no need to drink wine. I have also made an appointment with friends. I will skip all the steps and go directly to the main topic."

Fan Xiaodao asked, "What's the main topic?"

"Fuck girl!"

Fan Xiaodao smiled and said, "I have specially prepared four girls for you."

"How does it look?"

"It's so beautiful that it's hard to choose one from a thousand miles away."

Li Beihai felt itchy in his heart, "Then what are you waiting for?"

Fan Xiaodao called to the waiter, "Please come out with your four talents of spring, summer, autumn and winter."

The waiter hesitated for a while and said, "Sir, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival and all four girls are on holiday. I'm afraid it might be inconvenient to come out now."

When Li Beihai heard this, he immediately became angry, "Inconvenient? I am from the Sixth Door, what's the inconvenience? If something happens, I will take care of you! Hurry up!"

Seeing Li Beihai's insistence, the waiter went to the back hall. After a while, the aroma was fragrant. The waiter came up with four girls from spring, summer, autumn and winter. The four of them covered their faces with gauze scarves, not because they were being mysterious, but because they were afraid of affecting the surrounding people.

of guests.

When Li Beihai saw this, his face suddenly showed joy, and he said to Fan Xiaodao, "You kid, why are you still trying to create a sense of mystery? Although the food and wine are not that good, there are quite a few tricks like this."

Fan Xiaodao laughed, "That's right, the money is mainly spent on this."

Dong Chong saw Fan and Zhao and recognized them, "Two guests, have we met before?"

Li Beihai smiled. It seemed that these two boys came here often. These four people must be their best friends. He patted both sides and said, "Four beauties, no matter what they do, I am the protagonist today.

Why are you still standing there, sitting next to me?"

The four Yingying Yanyan leaned against Li Beihai, and Li Beihai said: "Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four wonders, let me guess which of you is spring, who is summer, who is autumn, and who is winter, how about you?"

"

Qiu Fei said: "If you guessed it right, we'll reveal our faces. If you guessed it wrong, let's have a drink. How about it?"

Li Beihai laughed heartily, "Just what I wanted! Your name is Chun, right?"

"Wrong, adults are drinking!"

Li Beihai drank a cup and said again: "You are Qiu!"

"Wrong again, adults are drinking!"

After guessing four times in a row, Li Beihai drank four glasses of wine in a row. He was already too drunk. After four glasses of wine, he was already flushed and slightly drunk. "Come, beauty, let me see if you are as good as the little one."

As Fan said, pick one out of ten thousand."

As he went to unveil Chun Liao, Chun Liao quickly stopped him and said, "Sir, you can't even call me the slave's name correctly, how can you unmask me? You're too rude and don't understand the customs. I'll punish you with a glass of wine!"

She has four unique features in spring, summer, autumn and winter. She has a strange appearance, but her voice is indeed sweet and delicate. In addition, there have been few guests in the past two days. It is not easy to be noticed by others. Naturally, she is flattering and flattering, which makes Li Beihai feel a little elated.

Li Beihai said: "The beauty is right."

While drinking, he raised and lowered his hands on the spring lice, making all kinds of ugly appearances.

Niu Dafu said: "I come to this Baihua Building often, how come I have never heard of the Four Wonders of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter before?" Seeing Fan Xiaodao, Zhao Xing had a sly smile on his face and said in surprise: "You guys

What are you laughing at?"

Zhao Xingdao: "You will know in a moment."

After drinking a few more drinks, the four of them still refused to take off their veils. Li Beihai was a little impatient and prepared to do something hard. Xia Cao said, "Sir, don't be anxious. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why don't we guess the lantern riddles together? What do you think?"

By the way, how about we reveal our faces?"

Li Beihai said hello repeatedly, "I love guessing riddles the most. You can come up with the questions."

Xia Cao said: "One head is hairy, the other is bare, white liquid is coming out and coming in and out. Hit something."

Li Beihai had a lewd smile on his face, "Xiao Lang Ho is really good at asking questions. I almost got into trouble with you. It's tooth powder, right?"

Xia Cao said: "Sir, you are smart!"

Li Beihai stretched out his hand to lift Xia Cao's veil. At this moment, a person came outside the door and said, "Brother Fan, I'm late. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Yingxiong came over with four retainers. Unexpectedly, today he was wearing the python robe of the Jin Yiwei. Fan Xiaodao said, "It's just the right time. How come you are dressed like this?"

Xue Yingxiong laughed and said, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is a female lion at home. How can we get away if we don't say that we have official business?"

Li Beihai was already drunk. When he saw Xue Yingxiong's dress, he didn't take a closer look and said, "This is your friend. Which theater troupe is he from?"

Xue Yingxiong said: "I'm Xue Yingxiong."

The voice was not loud, but as soon as the words came out, the whole hall fell into silence.

Seeing this, several tables of guests quietly settled their bills, covered their faces with their sleeves, and slipped away against the corner. They were all in the officialdom, and during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was inevitable that they would have some social interactions. At this moment, when this god and Buddha came, they were afraid that someone would

Recognize that the thirty-six strategies are the best.

Li Beihai said "oh" and pointed to a seat next to him, "Please find a seat and sit by yourself. Don't delay me from drinking." He then reached out to lift the summer grass veil.

Xue Yingxiong frowned, "I'm Xue Yingxiong."

Li Beihai said: "I heard it. Which yamen are you doing business at? They are all friends of Xiao Fan. Today, Xiao Fan invites me to drink, just to give him a favor. On weekdays, officials lower than the sixth rank will be seen by me.

None of them are seen.”

Xue Yingxiong said for the third time: "Old man Xue Yingxiong."

"You said you heard it, do you think my ears are not working well?"

Xue Yingxiong said: "I'm afraid your eyes won't work well."

Li Beihai narrowed his eyes and looked at Xue Yingxiong. Suddenly he saw the big python on his chest and the four guards he had brought with him, including the embroidered spring knife and the flying fish suit. His heart skipped a beat.

Oops!

bad thing!

Suddenly the alcohol was gone.

First of all, I was surprised, Fan Xiaodao, Fan Xiaodao, there is smoke coming out of your ancestral grave, why did you invite this big Buddha? No, not only is there smoke coming out, it is simply on fire. Why didn't you tell me earlier?
