After the group left the yard, the royal mansion had already arranged an inconspicuous Qingpeng carriage to wait outside the yard gate.

After rendezvousing with the servants, Li Longji looked back at Wang Renjiao. Although the scene of having no money to check the account just now was really embarrassing, Wang Renjiao's act of taking off the brocade half-armed scripture to make money for wine still greatly increased Li Longji's favorability for him.

"Where is Ah Zhong going? I don't have any important matters today, so I'll just send you a ride."

Looking at Wang Renjiao, Li Longji said with a smile.

"I am in the capital. I know each other less and have no trouble. Even if I visit other people's houses, I will only get bored. I will talk all night and I will be home now. Since the husband is willing to take him to take him away, he will be disrespectful."

After hearing this, Wang Renjiao did not refuse, and raised his legs and walked towards the car. Li Longji was even more happy when he saw this. He raised his hand and invited Wang Renjiao into the car, not caring about the other party's smell of alcohol. After all, he hadn't been much better.

After getting on the bus, Wang Renjiao explained that his defense zone was Guiyifang, located in the west of the city. He had to go from Anyifang where the Yang family lived, and to pass through most of the city. It was a matter of relying solely on his feet, so he would have to take a whole morning.

Li Longji was born in a noble family, and when he was a teenager, he lived with his family in the Dongdu Danei. After returning to Beijing, he did not have much leisure to visit the capital, so he was also full of curiosity about the various livelihoods in the Beijing area. Whenever the car drove through the downtown area, he ordered the coachman to slow down, lift the curtains, and look out with great enthusiasm.

Wang Renjiao was not unfamiliar with the appearance of the Tian family being curious about folk customs, so he explained it casually in the car. In a trance, he seemed to have returned to the scene when he was in Luoyang, the eastern capital, where he accompanied another nobleman to travel around the market. Therefore, a few traces of gloom appeared in his eyes, but they were all covered up by him and did not fully reveal it.

Although Chang'an City is more prosperous than in previous years, the basic pattern of being noble in the east and cheap in the west, poor in the south and rich in the north has not changed much. Guiyifang, where Wang Renjiao's family is located, happens to be located in the southwest city area, which is both poor and lowly.

Of course, there are still specific changes. Originally, there were many idle houses in the southwest of the city, with weeds and few people, and at night it was even more deserted. However, in recent years, most of these places have been transformed into various public and private workshops. Of course, the environment is not as good as the Liyouyuan and the Qujiang River, but because it is located in the city, it is much more convenient for people and goods to gather and disperse.

Another change is the use of water in the city. Today, Chang'an is not back to the beautiful water and soil of the Bachuan River converges. The open channels on the ground are controlled by the government, which ensures transportation and farming. The salty water drawn from the ground well is as bitter as it is, making it hard to swallow.

Therefore, although there were still many empty houses in the city in previous years, the people would rather live outside the city than live in the city for a long time. But now, the waterway made of bricks, tiles and pottery pipes are built to transport water flow to the fangs in the west of the city. Although the water quality is not very good, it has at least improved greatly compared with previous years, which can meet the basic needs of ordinary households.

After nearly an hour of parade in the city, the car driver came to Guiyifang outside Wang Renjiao's house. Wang Renjiao got off at the gate of the house and looked at the car with his hands crossed and said respectfully: "I live in this side house. The door is simple and I dare not invite noble people, but if the man is willing to move the car and stay for a while, he will do his best to entertain him."

"All have already reached this point, how can you not get through the door?"

When he arrived here, Li Longji clearly felt that the street was far cleaner than Dongcheng, and there were many Hu Wulang and others wandering between the alleys, but he didn't care about it. He heard Wang Renjiao say this and helped the cart fall.

Seeing this, Wang Renjiao went in front of the front and helped him, pointing to the wandering people on the street and said, "The house here is far less peaceful than the east city. Guiyifang has many villains living together. These lowly slaves may be cowardly in the blue sky and the sun, but when they are behind the people at night, they still don't know what kind of evil things they will do. The husband may love to collect folk songs, but if he is not accompanied by his strong servants, he should try to avoid such land and exits in daily life."

"Didn't it mean that the country is politically sound and people's livelihood are peaceful? Why is there such dangerous and filthy existence in this important place in the capital?"

After hearing this, Li Longji didn't feel afraid, but he couldn't help but sneer and sneered.

After hearing this, Wang Renjiao just laughed apologetically, and then he led the way first, and the group walked into the gate.

Entering Fanghoufang Street is quite clean, but most of the houses in Fangzhong are slightly narrow, and there are not as many magnificent houses as Dongcheng. Wang Renjiao led Li Longji and others into Qu Lane, walked into the depths of the alley for about half a quarter of an hour, then pointed to a low earth wall and a half-meter-old house and said, "There is a humble house."

Li Longji looked up and saw a strange look flashing in his eyes. He thought that Wang Renjiao was a glorious person, but even if he was frustrated, he should have saved some money. However, he didn't expect that what he said along the way was really not a humble person. This residence is really not even as good as the dog pen in his own mansion.

"Since the time when Dongdu returned, there were still some fine and soft goods around me. However, the old business was sold for sins and settled in the household, and everything was not short of money. Even if you encounter old people, you can't make a living. If you want to save them, you don't have the skills to open a business, so you have fallen into this situation. The house is not beautiful, and you can only cover your body, which makes your husband laugh."

Seeing Li Longji's expression change, Wang Renjiao explained a few more words, and his face also showed a little embarrassed.

"A person's character depends on his character, not on the lack of external enjoyment. Being poorer and stronger, without losing his ambition, Ah Zhong's slums are more sane and pure!"

Li Longji replied with a smile to Wang Renjiao. After the man walked into the courtyard first, he raised his hand to summon a slave to give him a few instructions, and then walked in again.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard a fierce barking of dogs. The yellow dog tied to the dog pen on one side of the yard looked fiercely at the strangers and yelled.

Hearing the dog's barking, Li Longji was very happy and simply walked out of the dog pen and looked at the yellow dog and grinned his teeth and teased him.

He is lively and active, and he loves leisure plays such as cockfighting and walking dogs. When he was in Dongdu in his early years, his father didn't like him to get involved in these tricks of abuse of creatures too early, so he didn't show it. Now he has no control. After returning to the capital, he has his own mansion and the dog pen and chicken coop have been built. However, the time is still short and has not been managed yet.

He was still teasing the evil dog here, and a figure flashed across the corner of his eyes. When he turned around, he saw a little girl in a cloth dress standing on the side of the dog bar, pinching her waist with one hand and knocking on the dog bar with the other, and looking at Li Longji with an unhappy look, and hummed, "Aye said that there are distinguished guests in the house. What kind of distinguished guests? If you don't find the owner's living room, you will disturb my creatures?"

Li Longji was stunned when he heard this. When he looked at the girl, although her face was simple, she looked red in lips and white in teeth. She was happy and angry, with slightly raised eyebrows and staring eyes, giving people a sense of vivid beauty without repair.

Then, he showed a hint of shyness, took a step back slightly and said with a smirk: "What the little lady taught me is that I was rude."

The girl did not answer, but turned her head to comfort the yellow dog in the dog pen. With her gestures and shouting, the barking yellow dog quickly calmed down.

Li Longji just stood on one side, smiling at the girl's move. The little girl looked like Wang Renjiao's daughter, who was in her early teens or because of her poor family background, and she did not have the spoiledness of an ordinary wealthy woman, but because of her delicate appearance, her words and actions were simple and rude, but this offense did not make people feel angry, but instead she felt a little itchy from her heart.

Especially when the woman turned her eyes and turned her head, there was a moment that made Li Longji stunned for a moment. She felt that the flashing side face was like the dancer Yin Niang who had been humiliated in the palace earlier, but couldn't help but miss him.

Wang Renjiao hurried into the hall, set off the utensils for the guests, and then turned around and asked the nobles to enter the hall, he saw the King of Linzi standing in the yard, staring at his daughter with his eyes, and his steps were slowly moving.

Seeing this scene, Wang Renjiao subconsciously frowned, turned to his daughter and scolded, "Say that this slave has a distinguished guest, and I will not greet you immediately, but I will fiddle with the dog! Where did the usual tutors go?"

When the young lady heard Aye's angry scolding, she was shocked and turned around quickly, but in a hurry, she didn't know what kind of etiquette she did. After seeing this, Li Longji hurriedly went in front of her and waved her hands, "I don't do anything to my little lady, and I don't know how to be favored by anyone. I suddenly saw a stranger coming, barking constantly, as if I was banishing guests."

"Go and find the debt-collecting thing quickly! I don't know how many lives I owe him, but if I lose my discipline, I don't know where to wander around!"

Wang Renjiao waved his hand and urged his daughter to find her son again. He hurriedly went up to invite the King of Linzi to the hall, and ordered the young lady who bowed her head and walked out and said, "I will tell the uncles at the end of the street that if there is nothing to do at home, I will gather my family to entertain guests!"

He was also worried that Li Longji might not like to see strangers, so he explained to Li Longji after the orders: "The people who can still walk around now are mostly those who have been in the military gates in the inner gates. The court has cut off the military governments and each has lost their livelihood. Only by gathering one place can we avoid being bullied."

After hearing this, Li Longji was even more happy and waved his hand and said with a smile: "A guest follows the host's will, and he follows the customs of the countryside. How can I be a good friend to A Zhong? I will force you to cut off a different kind of relationship!"

Seeing that Li Longji did not blame himself for his own actions, Wang Renjiao breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand to urge his daughter who was still waiting for the order to go quickly, so he invited the distinguished guest into the main hall.

Usually, the middle hall of a family is the most carefully arranged place in a house. However, Wang Renjiao's house is less than one acre in length and width, so naturally there is no division between the front and back. A main hall is separated from left and right, and several door panels are barely separated from each other. A brief look can see a bed and curtain placed under the window. Obviously, the living and hospitality are all in the same place.

Such a shabby environment can no longer be described as simple, and it is simply embarrassing. After Li Longji barely sat on the seat of the quilt that was peeled off from the bed, he also understood a little why Wang Renjiao was also quite eager to maintain a relationship with him.

Although he is not old, he has a little ability to observe his face and look at his face. It can be seen that although Wang Renjiao is already quite depressed, he is actually quite reserved for his kindness in his heart. It is obvious that his evaluation in his mind is far inferior to his former master.

But no matter how arrogant a person is, he will eventually bow to reality. Last night, Wang Renjiao enthusiastically gave him advice, and when he left this morning, he gave up the old things given by his former master and made a more obvious hint. As for the invitation to come to this humble house for a while, he probably wanted to take this opportunity to show himself how many connections he still has.

Sitting in the table and recalling the changes in his series of words and attitudes after meeting Wang Renjiao, Li Longji's thoughts gradually became clear and understood that Wang Renjiao was indeed a person who could win over. As for whether it is worthy of being a confidant, he still needs to observe it.

As for the heart, Li Longji is certainly unwilling to be lonely, especially since he can't stand being neglected and rejected by the world for a long time, so he is eager to manage some personnel relationships now.

But this does not mean that he has any sinister plan in his heart. Although he vaguely regards the saint as a life goal, he actually understands that the saint's opportunities and the process of struggle have their own unique background and times, and it is difficult to completely copy them.

Especially now that it has reached the Kaiyuan New Year, although there are still some emotional bias in my heart, Li Longji has to admit that the saint's power monopoly has far surpassed his Aye back then.

And now the saint is old and strong, and his prestige is getting higher and higher. If he wants to make a great wish in such a situation, he is simply overestimating his own ability and seeking death.

But the world is so vast that there is never a reason that only one person can enjoy the glory, and the rest are all in a daze. The saints are indeed prejudiced and wary of their brothers. Even if their brothers accept it and are tolerant, their situation may not be much improved. Instead, it is better to strive for a way out through their own efforts on the premise of not violating the great ban.

If the saint is so mean that they do not allow their brothers to show any sign of making a name for themselves, even if their brothers are obedient, the saints may not allow them to survive for a long time.

On the contrary, the more their brothers influenced the current situation, the more people are concerned about the world. If the saints want to trick them, they will have more concerns. As long as there are no sinister sins and conclusive crimes to provoke the saint's tolerance bottom line, it is not a big taboo for their brothers to maintain a wealthy life that will not be neglected and overlooked.

As for where this scale is set, Li Longji is not clear and still needs to try it out. As for showing kindness and winning over Wang Renjiao, it is his first step.

Even if the saint does not allow him to do such a behavior, the blame will most likely fall on Wang Renjiao. At most, he is careless in making friends or has other sins. He will not die, and he will be detained more severely.

Li Longji is not the kind of timid person who dares not even try. Even if he is content with the status quo, the world and human nature are in the walls, and although he is uninhibited, it is better than detention.

If the saint is lazy to ask about this, he will undoubtedly give their brothers a standard for communicating with others. Other identities are not as sensitive as Wang Renjiao. If they communicate with their brothers, they will not have too much psychological burden.

Thinking of this in his heart, Li Longji looked at Zhang She in the hall casually, and accidentally found a blue bird embroidered on the quilt laid under the seat with a spreading wings embroidered on it. When he touched it, he found that the quilt had a broken hole, probably bitten by a mouse, so he embroidered something to cover it up. In his poverty, he revealed a love and interest for life, which made people feel rippled in his heart.

At this moment, Li Longji realized that the fragrance of cattails was emitted from the table, which was vaguely similar to the aura that the girl had just passed by mistake. She felt even more excited for a moment, and her mind was also filled with distractions.

Perhaps because he was embarrassed by his own simplicity, Wang Renjiao sat in the hall, but he didn't say much, but looked out the door frequently. Not long after, footsteps came from outside the door. Wang Renjiao apologized first, and then hurried out.

Several burly men walked into Wang Renjiao's house one after another. Some called him his name directly, and some called him aloud, which shows that Wang Renjiao was quite prestigious in front of these people. These people did not come empty-handedly, and were carrying some chicken, duck, fish, meat and other ingredients in their hands. Some women who followed him directly set up a stove in the not-so-spacious yard and began to get busy rectifying them.

Such a city-rich life scene also made Li Longji quite interested. He did not feel boring, but instead watched it with relish.

Wang Renjiao did not let the King of Linzi wait for too long, and soon led several people to the hall. He did not point out Li Longji's identity, but introduced everyone to him one by one. Although there were no prominent figures among these people, after listening to Li Longji, he found one thing in common, that is, most of them were military officers who were abolished by the court.

The system of military service in Guanzhong has been popular for more than a hundred years and has a profound foundation. Although the number of troops in recent years has been severe, the generals and officials of the government have clashed and fought against each other, and there are not many official officers who have received the salary of the court. Although the court has previously reformed the military and had various orders to absorb and arrange these officers, the loss of personnel is inevitable in this deep reform of overthrow and reconstruction.

Although everyone was not sure about Li Longji's identity, although he was not old, Wang Renjiao was very respectful to him and did not dare to neglect him for a while. After seeing him, they each attended the banquet.

Wang Renjiao's hall was not big. After squeezing in more than a dozen people, he seemed cramped. So someone just moved the door panel and sat on the master's bed. Seeing the familiar movements, it was obviously not the first time he did this. Li Longji glanced at the blue bird on the quilt on his mattress, but couldn't help frowning, but he didn't say anything.

The women outside the hall were busy preparing the meal, but the men in the hall had already started to drink loudly. The atmosphere became more enthusiastic as soon as they drank, and it was inevitable that they would talk nonsense about current affairs and express various emotions.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, it is not a secret that Wang Renjiao misses a great opportunity in some fixed circles, and those who can still maintain close contact with it can also tell that they are not a proud person.

Although Kaiyuan politics is orderly and the prosperity in Chang'an City is better than in previous years, these have nothing to do with them, so they are naturally full of resentment when talking about them.

Li Longji also noticed that these people were sought after by various meats, and they were almost wiped out as soon as they were sent into the hall. It can be seen that daily life must be as clear as it is, so I took advantage of this opportunity to relax my appetite.

But these people brought not much meat, and soon the table became messy. Perhaps the hall was too noisy, and the yellow dog outside the house barked wildly. Someone took advantage of the alcohol and scolded: "This evil dog barked and disturbed people again, so he killed him to cook!"

"Let's go and make it, add another dish!"

After hearing this, Wang Renjiao threw out the knife from the case and said with a smile.

After hearing this, the man's eyes suddenly lit up, and naturally he didn't know what it was. He picked up the knife and jumped out of the hall. Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter again. Before Li Longji could stop him, he heard a yellow dog cry outside the hall, and then he disappeared.

Everyone was not concerned about this. After half a quarter of an hour, the undercooked dog meat was sent in. A jar of it was also filled with li Longji's desk, but he couldn't get down. Seeing that everyone was sharing food lively, he couldn't help saying, "I heard that there is an old clothes club in Beijing, and veterans help each other to support each other, so that they can maintain their lives..."

"The old clothes club teaches people to raise silkworms and hemp, raise ducks to get eggs. Such a lowly life, except for those who have no plans, who is willing to lean over and hold on? We are the children of the military, who are good at raising merits and wealth, but have a killing knife, and do not have the power to penetrate silk..."

When everyone heard this, they shook their heads and waved their hands, and were very disgusted with the business of the old clothes club.

While talking, a noise sounded outside the hall again. A teenage boy in his teens was dragged into the yard by someone. After getting off the car, he shouted loudly: "I know that Aye is having a banquet today. I am killing all over the place in Jiliao. I took advantage of the remaining money to bring a cart of wine and meat for my uncles to enjoy the fun!"

When everyone in the hall heard this, they all called out that they were really good boys, and they had a strong military aura. Wang Renjiao was angry that this boy was stubborn, but now he felt a light on his face. He pulled the boy to Li Longji and introduced with a smile: "A little dog is not bad, but he is so arrogant that he is more popular in the streets than me, a father."

When Li Longji saw Wang Renjiao, a son who was much younger than him, he looked liked it. He also liked it in his heart. He took it to the table to listen to him brag about the music of cockfighting in the shop, and felt that this kid was a talent.

No matter how lively the banquet was, there were times when it ended. In addition, the entourage of the royal palace saw that the qualities were complicated, and they had already urged him secretly for several times. Although Li Longji was a little reluctant, he still stood up to say goodbye when he saw that the sky was getting late. When he was about to leave the hall, he saw Wang Renjiao's daughter crying at the bloody yellow dog skin.

He moved his heart and took Wang Renjiao's hand to one side, and said, "The most wonderful eye relationship is. Although some people have never met each other, they are unforgettable at first sight and deeply imprinted in their hearts. The little lady of the mansion will get my eye relationship. So I would like to ask if... the flow of the grades here is quite messy, and I am really unbearable to Lan Zhi's growth!"

"Who is my husband looking at me? Do you think I am a person who sells women to seek honor! Don't mention this, otherwise this little fate may not continue!"

After hearing this, Wang Renjiao shook Li Longji's arm and said angrily.

After seeing this, Li Longji stopped saying anything and accused him of guilt. Before leaving, he looked at the little lady and then walked away with reluctance.

"Aye, is this rogue a lot of people? I am not satisfied with the food and entertainment, so I dare to be greedy for my sister! You tell me where I live, and I will invite everyone to block him on a date, and give him a lesson. I know that my son-in-law of Ganquan Mansion should not be insulted!"

Wang Renjiao's son Wang Shouyi also said angrily.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

After hearing this, Wang Renjiao glared at him, raised his hand and slapped his son, and then whispered: "I will take advantage of the remaining money and don't waste it. I will add clothes and make-up for your sister. If my father and son want to show off, they still need to get it from this person, but whether it is a right or a wrong person is still waiting to see!"
