As soon as he passed through the shadow wall and turned the corridor, Song Chongjin saw a thin man standing at the door of the study, looking at his face was still young, but his hair was half a hundred, with a thin beard under his chin, holding a bowl of tea, and he was lowering his head to skim the tea foam with the lid of the teacup.

As soon as Song Chongjin saw it, he knew that this person was that Jian Huaifeng.

strode forward slowly, walked in front of Jian Huaifeng, and made a big bow in a dignified manner: "Junior Song Chongjin pays a visit to Jian Shibo." ”

"Song Chongjin?" Jian Huaifeng muttered a sentence before he said lazily: "Are you a relative of Lord Gu?" Why haven't I heard of it? ”

Song Chongjin said respectfully: "Lord Gu is the uncle of the younger wife. ”

Jian Huaifeng raised his eyelids, glanced at Song Chongjin, and stretched out his hand: "What about the letter?" ”

Song Chongjin took out the letter written by Gu Changqing from his arms, and presented it to Jian Huaifeng with respectful hands.

Jian Huaifeng took the letter and opened it, scanned it, and then looked at Song Chongjin again.

Song Chongjin stood straight, his eyes were clear, and he didn't see any crampedness even if Jian Huaifeng looked at it for a long time.

After a long time, Jian Huaifeng sneered, put the letter into his sleeve, and said lazily: "Okay, come in." ”

As he spoke, he entered the study.

Song Chongjin gave Ambassador Yao a look and followed.

The study room is simple, except for the table against the window, half of the wall is full of bookshelves, and it is tired of books.

"Sit down!" Jian Huaifeng pointed to a chair next to the bookcase.

After Song Chongjin thanked him, he sat down.

Jian Huaifeng said: "Are you this year's herald?" It's young and promising! ”

Song Chongjin got up and said humbly: "Don't dare to be a false praise!" ”

Jian Huaifeng laughed briefly, with an indescribable meaning, and then said: "Believe me, Master Gu can afford me, let me mention you, I have failed to take the exam for many years, what do you want to talk about?" ”

Song Chongjin hurriedly got up and said: "Uncle Shibo's ability has been mentioned to the juniors many times, and he is very respectful, and the juniors also sincerely ask Shibo to give him some advice." ”

"What am I capable of? What am I capable of? Jian Huaifeng laughed self-deprecatingly.

Song Chongjin was silent for a while before he said: "Shibo has been working for Lord Yu of Luzhou Governor before, and during Shibo's service, Lord Yu has been assessed as superior every time. Four years ago, after Shibo said goodbye to Lord Yu and returned to Feng County, Lord Yu's assessment was only mes-"

Jian Huaifeng glanced at Song Chongjin: "This is what Master Gu told you?" ”

Song Chongjin nodded.

"Then now that you know, aren't you afraid that I will do the same to you in the future? Putting you in the air? Jian Huaifeng looked at Song Chongjin playfully.

Song Chongjin smiled: "If the juniors are so incompetent, they can only accept their fate!" Why don't you give it a try? ”

When Jian Huaifeng heard this, he glanced at Song Chongjin again, and seemed to have found something interesting.

smiled: "Then you are not afraid, if I am tired of it and quit, how will you stay?" ”

Song Chongjin said: "Shibo is not such an irresponsible person. Shibo said goodbye to Lord Yu, and naturally there was a reason for Shibo. The younger generation treats the younger generation with sincerity, and the world uncle will not bear the younger generation! ”

Jian Huaifeng was stunned for a moment, and his eyes became a little fluttering, "How do you know that I am not an irresponsible person?" If you are responsible, if you are grateful for kindness, how can you betray your friends who have been friends for more than ten years? ”

Song Chongjin took a deep breath: "Shibo and Lord Yu turned against each other, I'm afraid there is another inside story, right?" Did Lord Yu do something that didn't live in Shibo back then? ”

Jian Huaifeng's body was shocked, his eyes were staring at Song Chongjin tightly, and his voice trembled a little: "You, what do you mean by this?" ”

Song Chongjin said calmly: "As a person, since he has been able to serve Lord Yu for more than ten years, how can he turn his back on him because of some trivial things?" Uncle once said that Uncle Shi has a good chest, but he is a frank and honest gentleman, otherwise he will not gain the trust of Lord Yu for many years. ”

"It is an extremely serious matter to make Shibo and Master Yu turn their faces, and it has stepped on Shibo's bottom line. Rong Juniors dared to guess whether Shibo would have an accident every time he had a spring back then, not by providence, but by man-made? ”

As soon as these words came out, Jian Huaifeng's face changed.

looked at Song Chongjin in disbelief, as if he wanted to see something from his face.

Song Chongjin quietly let Jian Huaifeng look at him, his expression was calm, as if it was not him who had just spoken the amazing words.

After a while, Jian Huaifeng laughed out loud: "Sure enough, it's terrifying!" The afterlife is terrifying! Brother Gu, this is a discerning eye! I'm ashamed of myself, I'm ashamed of myself! ”

The laughter was endless, and in the end, there was a little more loneliness in this laughter.

In the courtyard, Yao Da and the little boy, who were sitting quietly, couldn't help but stand up when they heard this laughter, and looked at the study in disbelief.

After a while, the laughter faded down.

Yao Da and the little boy glanced at each other.

Yao Dacai asked in a low voice, "Little brother, what's your name?" Why do you only see you and your master for half a day? Is there no one else in your family? ”

The little boy had sugar in his mouth and muttered: "My name is simple, we still have a dumb mother-in-law and a lame uncle, the lame uncle went out yesterday and hasn't come back yet, and the dumb mother-in-law is cooking behind." ”

Yao Da asked in surprise: "Then your master doesn't have any relatives?" ”

The little boy simply pursed his mouth, and his eyes turned red: "The old lady and the old lady of our family went in the early years, and Mrs. and Brother Guan had an illness in Luzhou, and it was gone." Our lord returned to his hometown in discouragement, and only a few of us came back with him. ”

When Yao Da heard this, his heart moved, and he carefully put on simple words.

Simply where is Yao Da's opponent, it didn't take long for Yao Da to tell him everything he knew.

It turned out that Jian Huaifeng's wife and children were in Luzhou, and somehow, they got sick, and the mother and son were gone. Jian Huaifeng lost his wife and children in middle age, and he was suddenly decadent and locked up at home for several days.

When he came out, his hair was half white, and then he said goodbye to the owner and came back with his bags.

At the beginning, the subordinates in the family were dismissed, leaving a lame man, a mute mother-in-law, and him, he was an orphan picked up by the lame uncle, and he was originally intended to be a scholar for Brother Guan'er, but he never thought that Brother Guan was gone, and he had nowhere to go, so he brought it back, and now he is doing chores at home.

After coming back, there have always been so many people in this family, and there were still people who asked to see them, but their master didn't see any of them, only saying that he was disheartened and planned to close the door in the future, but he was dead.

Gradually, fewer and fewer people came, and in the past year or two, no one came.

As soon as Yao Da finished inquiring, he heard the door of the study creak open, and Song Chongjin walked out first.

When he went out, he respectfully said inside: "Shibo, please stay, I'll come back tomorrow!" ”

No one answered at the door.

Song Chongjin didn't care, and took the gift that Yao Da put down, and left.

When Song Chongjin and the two of them left, they simply approached the door of the study and went in to take a look.

Seeing that his master was smiling, he found that he was peeking at the simple and raised his head: "You don't go to guard the door, what are you peeking at here?" ”

He asked simply and cautiously: "Master, that person said that he would come back tomorrow, will I still open the door for him?" ”

Jian Huaifeng sneered: "He likes to come, let him go!" He glanced at the corners of his mouth again, "Let you eat a few more days of candy and sweet mouth!" ”
