Chapter 478 (1/2)
Xiong Gongming, as the master of the city, is not as good as the big crocodile like Luo Tianhan, but the arrangement of food and accommodation is still good. Soon, Xiong Gongming arranged a table of delicious food for Li Yuanhe and others in the best restaurant in Yucheng, which should be a good place for Li Yuanhe and others. Meanwhile, the luggage of Li Yuanhe and others was also sent to Xiong Gongming's residence, where he was arranged to rest that night.
When everyone sat down in the elegant room on the second floor of the restaurant, the food and wine were also served one after another. At this time, the lights were on. Xiong Gongming took Li Yuanhe, Wang Ye and Luo Yan as the top seats, while he was the last one. Even Chenghu and others and Wang Ye's guards, Xiong Gongming arranged them in several elegant rooms next door.
Xiong Gongming first raised his glass of wine and said to Li Yuanhe and others with a humble smile: ”it's really lucky for me to meet the three outstanding talents of the imperial court! Here, I'd like to propose a toast to the three adults. I wish them a good journey to the capital and a prosperous official career in the future! The future is bright
”Ha ha! Mr. bear, you are welcome Wang Ye and Luo Yan raised their glasses one after another, smiling back, although their official positions were much higher than Xiong Gongming. However, Xiong Gongming was polite to them, and they also wanted to give the Lord of the city some face.
”Eh?” When Wang Ye and Luo Yan just raised their glasses to Xiong Gongming, they found that Li Yuanhe, who was at the same table, did not stand up. Moreover, he did not even put his mind on the table. It turned out that he was sitting by the window and was looking out of the window. He was so distracted that he didn't know what he was looking at?
”Brother Li?” Luo Yan, who was sitting beside Li Yuan and saw that Xiong Gongming thought he was dissatisfied with him. His face was so white that he felt pity for him. Even though he patted Li Yuanhe on the shoulder and called, Li Yuanhe was still unmoved, which made Luo Yan and Wang a little strange.
Then, Luo Yan and Wang comforted Xiong Gongming with a smile. Then they left the table and came to Li Yuanhe. They looked out of the window to see what Li Yuanhe was looking at. They were so absorbed. Li Yuanhe seemed to have noticed that Luo Yan and Wang had come to his side, and did not look back. Instead, he pointed out the window and said, ”look at that man, two old brothers!”
Following Li Yuanhe's fingers, he saw an old man in rags lying on the corner of the street opposite the restaurant. As soon as he saw it, he was a beggar. But now it seems that the beggar is dying, but he has been lying there for a long time without moving. Even passers-by passing by him can't help but detour.
At this time Xiong Gongming also came to have a look, but his face turned pale again. He was sweating and said, ”well, this, your honor! This beggar is not a resident of Yu City, but a vagrant from other places to Yu city only yesterday It turned out that Xiong Gongming was afraid that these adults would regard the beggar as a resident of Yucheng, and that he would be regarded as his own political failure, so he quickly explained it.
However, Li Yuanhe did not wait for Xiong Gongming to explain, but turned to Luo Yan, Wang Ye and Xiong Gongming and said, ”two brothers! Mr. bear, excuse me for a moment! ” After that, he rushed out of the door in a big stride. After a while, he came back. However, he took several kinds of food and wine from the table. He apologized and laughed at the crowd, and then ran out again.
Xiong Gongming was completely confused by Li Yuanhe, but he only looked at Luo Yan and Wang Ye with a puzzled face. Wang also did not understand what Li Yuanhe wanted to do, but only Luo Yan understood Li Yuanhe's mind, but he had no intention to explain. Wang also came from a well-known family, and Xiong Gongming's family background is also rich, even if Luo Yan said it, they may not be able to understand. Only Luo Yan himself and Li Yuanhe were born into poverty. He could see at a glance that Li Yuanhe saw himself before from the old beggar, or thought of the old man who raised him.
Since he knew that Li Yuanhe had nothing to do, Luo Yan didn't say much. Now he was smiling and said to Xiong Gongming: ”Lord bear! I'm really sorry. My brother may have remembered something. We don't have to wait for him. Go on! ” Then he patted Wang Ye on the shoulder and went back to the wine table directly. Although Wang didn't know what it was for, Luo Yan said hello to himself. He thought there was nothing wrong, so he followed Luo Yan back to the wine table.
As for Xiong Gongming, although he was a little nervous, Wang Ye and Luo Yan both went back to the wine table. It was not good for him to stand at the window alone. Then Xiong Gongming returned to his seat with a smile and wiped his sweat. He began toasting Wang Ye and Luo Yan. After all, in his opinion, Li Yuanhe is also from the eighth grade, only one level higher than him, mainly depends on Wang Ye and Luoyang, the two officials from the fifth grade.
