Jixian Restaurant and Zhang Bin met for the first time, and Cao Huachun was drunk.

The grief and anger in his heart had been accumulated for five years, and he had nowhere to confide in him, but on this day he finally found someone who could speak freely, and once he confided it all, he felt much more relaxed.

He even chatted with Zhang Bin about his brother, it just so happened that Zhang Bin was also five brothers, and he was also the eldest, and the two talked about their families having a common language, and he suddenly felt that this Zhang Bin was closer.

After drinking, he couldn't remember what he said, he felt that Zhang Bin was a very good person, full of righteousness, arrogance, and more importantly, there was no official arrogance, and there was no discrimination against him, a eunuch who was guilty.

Even when he mentioned Engong Wang'an, he was extremely respectful and admired Engong Wang'an.

It is difficult for people to meet a close friend, and some people can't even meet a friend who can make friends in their lifetime.

Of course, Cao Huachun is not the kind of hot-headed reckless person, the two only meet once, he can't treat Zhang Bin as a close friend at once, he just thinks that Zhang Bin is the kind of person who can be introduced as a close friend.

Especially at this time, he was sent to Jinling, living a precarious life, his heart is extremely hesitant, he needs a close friend, even if the other party doesn't do anything, it is good to be able to listen to him complain from time to time.

Wang Chengen's impression of Zhang Bin is also very good, this foreign man of the Ministry of War, from the official of the fifth grade, is no longer small, but he has no shelf at all, and even to him, a little eunuch, is very polite, and often personally serves him vegetables.

The food is delicious, I haven't eaten it for several years, this foreigner's attitude towards him makes him feel like a spring breeze, he has been a eunuch for so long, and he has never met a court official who is so good to him, so he thinks that this Lord Zhang is a good person.

This seemingly accidental meeting was naturally arranged by Zhang Bin, he sent people to inquire for more than a month, and finally found out that Cao Huachun was an ordinary handyman in the inner palace of Jinling Imperial City, although there was nothing to do all day long, but he could not easily leave the imperial city.

Zhang Bin didn't dare to go to the imperial city to tie up with Cao Huachun, although there was no emperor in the Jinling Imperial City, there were still a lot of eunuchs and palace maids, it was inevitable that there would be Wei Zhongxian's eyeliner, it was difficult for him to run in and not attract people's attention, and it would be troublesome if Wei Zhongxian knew about it when the time came.

Not only will he be in trouble, but Cao Huachun will also be in trouble, and it is even very likely to harm Cao Huachun's life.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian was focusing all his energy on dealing with the Donglin Party, and five years ago, Cao Huachun, who was sent by him to Jinling to be convicted, was not an important person, and he may have forgotten it.

If he suddenly went to the Jinling Imperial City to find Cao Huachun, and the eyes and ears of the eunuchs in the imperial city made a special report, then Cao Huachun, the remnant of Wang An, would be in danger.

Can't go to the palace, then you can only wait for someone to come out, fortunately, at this time the management of the Jinling Imperial City is not very strict, the eunuch is out of the holiday or no one cares, after many inquiries, finally inquired about the day of Cao Huachun's vacation, and then found out that he consigned calligraphy and paintings, borrowed wine to drown his sorrows.

So, there was his first meeting with Cao Huachun.

Zhang Bin also knows that it is impossible to make Cao Huachun lead him as a close friend after a meeting, and making friends must also be "attentive", and continuous communication is required.

No, ten days later, Cao Huachun came to the place where he consigned a few calligraphy and paintings, and the last batch of calligraphy and paintings on consignment were sold out again, just enough for him to have a drink.

The habit he has developed in the past few years, with a little money, he can't help but want to get drunk, and Wang Chengen naturally follows without abandoning.

However, this time, before he could start ordering, Zhang Cha ran downstairs from the second floor and respectfully bowed his hand: "Mr. Zixu, my lord invites you to go upstairs for a while." ”

When Cao Huachun heard this, he immediately became puzzled.

He is not a stupid person, he does hope to meet Zhang Bin's friend, but this is too coincidental, how could he meet it when he first came!

It is very likely that people are waiting for him here on purpose.

The deceit in the palace made him full of vigilance about the things around him, and at this moment, he already understood that this Lord Zhang appeared in front of him twice, definitely not by coincidence, but deliberately.

What is this Lord Zhang trying to do?

Cao Huachun really can't understand this question, because now he has no master, he is still a guilty person, he has no power, and he doesn't even have a fortune, so he really has nothing to plan.

Since you don't have anything to plan for, what else do you want, isn't it good for people to come together and make friends with you, when you are the emperor's companion?

He smiled self-deprecatingly, and then took Wang Chengen and followed Zhang Cha upstairs.

At this time, he really needed friends too much, so although Zhang Bin did it a little deliberately, he also selectively ignored it.

If you want to say that he is at this time, he really has nothing to plan.

However, he didn't know that Zhang Bin could be an "unpredictable prophet", and he would really become the emperor's companion in the near future!

It's still the same seat, and it's still a few sturdy guys guarding outside, and everything is just like the last time we met.

However, this time, after Cao Huachun went in, he didn't see a table full of wine and food, and the round table on the elegant seat turned out to be a pen, ink, paper and inkstone!

As soon as Zhang Bin saw Cao Huachun coming in, he stood up and arched his hand: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Zixu, I really can't wait to ask you about the skills of calligraphy and painting, so I want to ask Mr. for some guidance, and then drink later, I don't know if it's good." ”

Cao Huachun asked in surprise: "Although the miscellaneous family has a little study of calligraphy and painting, it is far worse than those old scholars in the Hanlin Academy of the Southern Capital, even if there are many people in the six yamen who are stronger than the miscellaneous family, Master Zhang, how can you think of looking for a miscellaneous family to learn calligraphy and painting?" ”

Zhang Bin said slightly embarrassed: "I patronized and drank last time, I forgot to say, I only came to Jinling last month to work, I don't have any acquaintances, and I don't stay here for long, I don't want to have too much intersection with them, I just saw Mr. Zixu's calligraphy and painting last time, I admired it very much, so I wanted to let Mr. Zixu guide one or two, presumptuous, presumptuous." ”

When Cao Huachun heard this, he asked with interest: "Oh, what do you mean, you still have a chance to go back to the capital?" ”

Zhang Bin smiled shyly: "It's not a secret, my ancestor is a general of the King of Dingxing, and the current grandfather of the country still takes care of me, and this time he came to Nandu to serve is also arranged by his old man, mainly because Wei Zhongxian's traitor refused to give up the position of the head of the military department, and the grandfather of the country had to arrange for me to come to Jinling." ”

When Cao Huachun heard this, he was shocked: "Grandpa Guo, you said that you are a British duke?" ”

Zhang Bin smiled and nodded: "Sort of, I admire his old man very much, but I don't know if his old man can look at it." ”

Cao Huachun smiled with relief: "Don't worry, the British prince generally doesn't make a move, and if he can make such an arrangement for you, it proves that he values you very much, young man, the future is immeasurable." ”

Zhang Bin still smiled and said: "Borrow your auspicious words, borrow your auspicious words, I don't know, now, can Mr. Zixu guide and guide?" ”

Cao Huachun's doubts were gone, and he nodded with satisfaction: "I don't dare to advise, since adults don't dislike miscellaneous talents, let's learn from each other, and ask adults to write a word to see." ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, his face was happy, and he immediately picked up the brush and wrote seriously.
