When old friends met, Yuan Yao was not as close to him as before, and he was more talkative than before, but he didn't know whether it was Gong Mengbi who had influenced him or whether his carefree uncle had a profound influence on him.
When talking about life in Qiantang, Gong Mengbi asked: "Have you ever met Yan Chixia?"
Yuan Yao shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before."
Before Yuan Yao came, Gong Mengbi told him about Yan Chixia, but it seemed that the two of them were not destined to meet each other.
Gong Mengbi said: "I will find him in a few days and introduce you to him."
Yuan Yao said: "I know what he does."
Gong Mengbi said: "It's always good to have more friends, and it's better to have someone to take care of you."
Yuan Yao muttered a few words, but did not firmly refuse his kindness.
As they were talking, they saw several richly dressed men coming from a distance with lanterns and holding a red lacquer plate in their hands. As they walked back, they said: "The Lord is drunk and has seen enough of the show. I'll wait." Send the god back."
Yuan Yao saw it from a distance and said, "My uncle is back."
Gong Mengbi looked over and saw a frog sleeping in the red lacquer plate. It was as big as a Shunkang coin, with a green back, a golden streak around its waist, shining brightly, and its belly was red and white like peach blossoms after rain. , cheeks are flushed, there are golden circles in the eye sockets, the eyes seem to be closed but not closed, and you can vaguely see the paint-like eyes, glowing with a slight divine light.
Excellent presentation.
Yuan Yao said: "I'll pick him up, please wait a moment."
The men carried the red lacquer tray to the vicinity of the Jinhua General Temple. Before they even got close to the temple, their hands were suddenly empty.
There was no trace of the Frog God on the red paint plate. The men were not surprised and shouted: "Honor the God, come back home!" Then they worshiped at the Jinhua General Temple from a distance, and then gradually left with lanterns.
Yuan Yao grew bigger and entered the temple holding General Jinhua, who was snoring slightly. The frog god suddenly burped, jumped off Yuan Yao's arm, jumped onto the altar table, and asked: "Yuan Yao , your friend is here?"
Yuan Yao was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, from Dongyang."
The Frog God said, "Why don't you come in and let me see you?"
Yuan Yao sighed and came out to invite Gong Mengbi.
When Gong Mengbi entered the temple, he saw the rather cute frog god looking at him with bright eyes, his eyes seemed to be shining.
Gong Mengbi greeted him and said, "I have met General Jinhua."
General Jinhua nodded and said: "What a talented person..." his voice gradually became quieter.
Gong Mengbi saw that his eyes were still open and was waiting for him to continue talking when he saw Yuan Yao covering his face with his hands and saying, "He is asleep."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said: "Then it's better not to disturb the general's rest."
Yuan Yao said: "Don't worry about him, he will be fine when he wakes up tomorrow."
Yuan Yao was already very experienced, so he went out to talk with Gong Mengbi again.
After chatting for a while, Gong Mengbi excused himself and said, "I will take Yan Chixia to see you another day. I will leave today."
Yuan Yao asked: "Do you have a place to stay?"
Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "I live by the West Lake, not far away."
Yuan Yao said nothing more and said goodbye to him.
After Gong Mengbi left and Yuan Yao returned to the Jinhua General Temple, the Frog God suddenly said slowly: "What a handsome man... with a good appearance."
Yuan Yao said: "Uncle, he has left."
The Frog God was startled for a moment, looked at it carefully, and said: "Why don't you stay? There is no way to entertain guests."
Yuan Yao said in a muffled voice: "Go to sleep and talk about it tomorrow."
The Frog God muttered, and as his snoring gradually increased, he lost his words again. When Yuan Yao looked again, he had disappeared in front of the statue.
Gong Mengbi returned to West Lake, and the second son of the Shen family was still lighting lamps and reading books.
Gong Mengbi looked at it for a while, nodded, and returned to the shrine to rest.
Three days later, Shen Qiao, with dark circles under his eyes, looked completely different from the confident Shen Yan.
Shen Qiao came to invite Gong Mengbi and said, "Uncle, do you want to go up the mountain with us?"
Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "I'm going to see my old friend."
Shen Yan said: "Mr. Liu Nan lectures, and all the students in Qiantang come to listen. No one will notice if my uncle sneaks in."
Gong Mengbi followed them out and met Liang and Zhu in the streets.
Shen Qiao introduced: "This is Liang Shanbo, this is Zhu Yingtai, they are our friends."
Zhu Yingtai glanced at Gong Mengbi and whispered, "Does your uncle also want to go with us?"
Shen Yan said: "My uncle is going to visit friends."
The five of them entered Wansongling together, and many students came here in admiration.
Zhu Yingtai said: "With so many people here today, I'm afraid the cultural conference will not be easy."
Shen Qiao rubbed his eyes and said, "I have been preparing for these days, hoping nothing will go wrong."
Zhu Yingtai glanced at him and said with a smile: "As for you, I dare not say, but Shan Bo and Shen Yan are definitely fine."
Shen Qiao suddenly showed an angry expression and said: "There is nothing I can't do, I will definitely do it!"
With Gong Mengbi here, he would not give in casually.
Gong Mengbi just smiled and watched them talk and laugh, and occasionally joined in the fun. He fulfilled his duties and acted like an elder.
It's just that his appearance is really young. Although he has been able to restrain his almost Taoist charm after reaching the sixth level, it will still be a shock to people just because of his skin.
Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai refused to follow Shen Qiao and Shen Yan in calling them uncle, and it was difficult for them to call Gong Mengbi their brothers, and their words were vague.
Fortunately, Gong Mengbi understood their difficulties and did not take the initiative to talk to them, which made them relieved.
When we got to the mountain, we saw crowds of people. Mr. Liu Nan was giving a lecture in the Mingdao Hall of Wansong Academy. The Mingdao Hall was full of people. The students who came to listen to the lectures surrounded the Mingdao Hall. They stuck their heads out from the door and windows, and a wall of Mr. Liu Nan style.
Before Mr. Liu Nan arrived, these people had already set up the scene.
Zhu Yingtai groaned and said, "It's broken, don't squeeze us out."
When Liang Shanbo saw him running forward, he quickly said: "Slow down, sir, he has already reserved a place for us, don't panic."
They are serious disciples who have entered Wansong Academy. Of course, they will not be occupied by outsiders. However, seeing so many people, they will inevitably feel panicked.
Liang Shanbo told him not to run away, but he hurried forward as he spoke.
Shen Qiao and Shen Yan looked at Gong Mengbi, who nodded and said, "Go ahead."
The two of them followed and got into the crowd. Liang Shanbo led the way and protected Zhu Yingtai. Shen Qiao and Shen Yan followed beside them and worked hard together to finally squeeze in.
As soon as I squeezed in, I heard Xue Yu coming in a hurry and said, "Why did you come here? If you come later, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your position."
Gong Mengbi smiled and shook his head. He did not squeeze into the crowd. He only looked around, looking for Yan Chixia's figure, but he did not find it.
Suddenly I heard someone hurriedly running outside and saying, "Mr. Liu Nan is here!"
Gong Mengbi followed the sound and saw an old man with gray hair and a kind face coming towards Mingdaotang.
The old man was accompanied by the dean and professor of Wansong Academy. Behind them, Gong Mengbi saw an impressive scholar, Yan Chixia.
