The birthday banquet at Dudu's family was extremely extravagant, as can be seen from the copper coin road at the entrance.

People who are rushing to give gifts also lined up two streets behind, and the lights and festoons were decorated, which was more lively than New Year's Eve.

It's just that besides the bustle, there was a slightly uncoordinated sound, that is, a few servants tied an old man and threw it out from the side door.

The old man was dressed in rags and his face was covered with bruises, crying and cursing: "Wang Ronghuo who killed a thousand swords! The whore who robbed my daughter! Eat the flesh and blood of the common people! I, I wish you a happy life! !"

A steward-looking man dressed in fancy clothes shouted viciously at the boy: "What are you dawdling about? Why don't you stop me with mud for talking nonsense!"

So someone grabbed a handful of dirty black soil and stuffed the old man's mouth and nose. The old man struggled twice, unable to resist at all. , throw away! Don't let the governor see the bad luck!"

After three or two strokes, the old man was dragged away.

This little commotion could not even stir up waves in front of the crowded Dudu Mansion.

Gu Fangfei was wearing an old embroidered skirt with buttons and plum blossoms trimmed today. Xu Hang was behind her. The two of them showed their invitations and entered the banquet hall.

It was not yet time for the banquet, and some of the people made friends and complimented each other, and some wandered around in the garden of the mansion.

"Has Mr. Xu been here before?" Gu Fangfei asked.

"No. The noble family of the Dudu's Mansion, I am a casual person, how can I get in so easily."

"The artificial karst cave in the garden here is unique. There are no other gardens this big. I'm here today. I'll take Mr. Xu to have a look."

The karst cave was built by the subordinates when the governor built the mansion. It can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.

Xu Hang and Gu Fangfei went in from one side and went out from the other side, walking along the corridor with few people, chatting happily: "When others celebrate their birthdays, birthday stars will meet guests in the main hall. The governor doesn't seem to like it very much?"

"That's not true, the governor is very lively. It's just that he is very cautious, for fear that someone will assassinate him, so he won't come out until the banquet. Our family has eaten with the governor several times, and he always sat alone. tables, at least ten meters away, with a troop of soldiers behind them."

Turning the corner and walking up the steps, Xu Hang looked at the splendid garden: "The higher the official position, the more unscrupulous they are, and the more enemies they make, it's not surprising."

Gu Fangfei looked at her pocket watch: "It's almost there, let's go back." She turned and walked back, but she was stopped by Xu Hang before she started, and Xu Hang pointed to a step ahead: "Go from there ,closer."

That step leads to a small door, but I don't know where the small door leads to. Gu Fangfei is puzzled: "You haven't been here before? How do you know?"

Xu Hang slid from one end of the garden to the other, pointing to Gu Fangfei: "This garden is neither square nor square. There is a pond on one side, three high-rise buildings on the other, and karst caves in the middle. No matter how you look at it, it is not an orthodox layout."

He gestured with his fingers in the air: "Water, three horizontal lines, one vertical line, is a Wang character. Therefore, the entrance and exit can bypass the pond and return to the main hall. There is no need to take an extra trip to the cave."

Gu Fangfei dubiously followed Xu Hang out of the town and stepped through the small gate. Sure enough, a few meters away was the gate that just entered the garden. She couldn't help but marvel: "Mr. It’s like Feng Shui layout!”

When the two were chatting and laughing, a man with a big belly came up from behind and muttered, "Who are you two? Don't squeeze in the middle, it's blocking the way!"

Startled for a moment, he quickly moved away, the fat man brushed past the two of them, glanced at him, and stopped in his tracks.

He froze at first, feeling something was wrong, then took a few steps back and stood between the two of them.

This person retracted his head, squinted his eyes, looked at Xu Hang, and then cupped his hands: "I've met this gentleman. I'm Peng Bo, the special assistant of the diplomatic consulate. I don't know who is it? You look very kind."

Xu Hang raised his eyes slightly, glanced back at Peng Bo, moved his lips, and replied coldly: "I'm just a pharmacy shopkeeper."

However, the attitude is very neither humble nor overbearing.

Gu Fangfei only said that Xu Hang didn't like strangers, so she came out to smooth things over: "Peng Tezhu, hello, I'm Gu Fangfei from Pengyun Chamber of Commerce, this is a friend I brought, maybe you have bought medicine from his pharmacy before Bar."

"Oh...really?" Peng Bo rubbed his chin, his eyes could be said to swim restlessly on Xu Hang's body, such transparent eyebrows, such a handsome figure, I always feel like I've seen it somewhere before, It's like I've seen it in that painting, but I can't remember the name of the painting now.

The more you can't figure it out, the more closely you stare at it.

Perhaps that probing gaze was too rude, Xu Hang's face was slightly stiff, and Gu Fangfei could even see the slightly protruding veins on his temples, so she smiled awkwardly: "Ah, it's getting late, don't let the governor Wait for us..."

As he spoke, he tugged on Xu Hang's sleeve, and Xu Hang realized that she was making a rescue, so he lowered his head, turned sideways and hurried out.

But at this moment, the perplexed Peng Bo suddenly seemed to have opened his eyes. He slapped his palm with a punch, turned around and grabbed Xu Hang's right arm. He was so excited that Xu Hang's whole body was crushed. Twist it back!

"I remembered! You... aren't you Jin Hongchang's entertainer raised by Jin Jiatang?!"
