Classmate Chen, what are you Suddenly a classmate Zhou Guoting, who was wearing clothes with many patches, came over and saw a thick pile of paper in Chen Letian's hand and couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing, it's just a letter from a friend. Hello classmate Zhou, I haven't seen you for a long time, but it's okay" As he spoke, Chen Letian stood up and folded the letter into his sleeve while walking up and patting the poor student Zhou Guoting's shoulder, smiling closely.

The relationship between Zhou Guoting and Chen Letian is very good. Although Zhou Guoting is not a student of the cultivation academy, he is only a student of the Six Arts. But the banquet that invited all the students last time made the relationship between Chen Letian and Zhou Guoting go further.

This Zhou Guoting Zhou classmate is not an ordinary student of the Six Arts, although Zhou Guoting's family is poor, very poor, but Zhou Guoting's connections are very good.

Chen Letian asked Qin Tieniu to inquire about Zhou Guoting's situation and found out that Zhou Guoting's poverty was not because Zhou Guoting did not have a way to make money, but purely because Zhou Guoting had his own strong ethics. But as long as there is a little bit of money from the wrong way, he will not take a penny.

For example, the Cao Gang in the capital once saved his life many years ago, and Zhou Guoting often gave advice to the Cao Gang in order to repay the kindness of the Cao Gang. In short, in this regard, Zhou Guoting is a military advisor and strategist who is not resident in the Cao Gang.

And what he paid for the Cao Gang has actually long exceeded the efforts of the Cao Gang back then.

Cao Bang felt that it was always bad like this, so he once proposed to pay Zhou Guoting's salary, even if the two parties take what they need in the future, you will pay you if you work for me.

But Zhou Guoting made it clear that he would never accept any money from the Cao Gang, and the reason he said was that you saved my life, if it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago, so it is only natural for me to help you.

But in fact, Qin Tieniu thinks that Zhou Guoting is because he thinks that the Cao Gang is a gangster after all, and he doesn't collect money, and he Zhou Guoting is repaying his kindness, and this kind of life-saving grace is inexhaustible, and it can only be said that the reward is a little bit. But if you receive money, it's different, it's the relationship between the director and the money.

As a gangster, the Cao Gang is not so clean after all, and although Zhou Guoting also knows that the existence of the Cao Gang has made many poor people rely on it, it is not so pure after all, so he doesn't want the money of the Cao Gang, no matter how the people of the Cao Gang persuade him, he doesn't want it, and even when the eldest prince of the Cao Gang came to tell him in person, he still refused, and even Qin Tieniu also heard that Zhou Guoting had an argument with the eldest prince of the Cao Gang at that time. The eldest prince of the Cao Gang seems to be angry.

It can be seen from these things that Zhou Guoting is a typical upright gentleman, maybe in the future, he may be affected by something and become less pure, but now, standing in front of Chen Letian, this Zhou Guoting, who is full of patches and a full face of vegetables, is definitely the kind of gentleman who is really good.

And after he Chen Letian and Zhou Guoting passed through that big banquet, he asked Zhou Guoting to greet him as a guest, and became a good friend like a classmate in his class, Zhou

The relationship between the court and him is not just that of ordinary classmates. Rather, they can be regarded as friends.

"Classmate Zhou, I'll ask someone to make you a few sets of clothes when you go back, you really can't find a daughter-in-law, do you know it, are you afraid" Chen Letian shook his head and smiled.

"Yes, I'm not afraid. Zhou Guoting also shook his head. Zhou Guoting said, "I heard a few days ago, Brother Chen, that you are back, but we all know that you are busy, so we didn't bother you." ”

Chen Letian said with a grudge on his face, "You are really ruthless, and no one came to comfort me, you don't know, I almost lost my life in Shudi, it's really a little bit of a mistake, I'm afraid to think about it." ”

Zhou Guoting frowned slightly, "Brother Chen, all of us have heard about your deeds, although we have not been able to empathize with all the difficulties you have encountered, we admire you, we admire you, and all of us have taken you as an example." Teachers also often take your case as an example in class, everyone knows that Chen Letian is not only the Qingtian Pavilion student with excellent grades and excellent cultivation, but also the object that everyone from the scholars to the peddlers and pawns in our Great Song Dynasty have to learn

"Okay, okay, okay. Chen Letian hurriedly interrupted Zhou Guoting, hugged his shoulders and said, "Brother Zhou, don't say it, I'll tell you the truth, and if you praise me again, I'm really going to heaven." Today I hand over a task to you, you must let your classmates complete me together, you can't refuse"

Without waiting for Zhou Guoting to agree, Chen Letian said, "Gather old friends tonight, just a few dozen of us, and have a meal at my house." Remember, the key is that, the first point, the banquet between our good friends, the other classmates will not be called, and we can't have that kind of banquet again, then of course I can stand it, but the court may be unhappy.

Second, students who did not attend should not be unhappy. Don't invite them and make them not angry. ”

Zhou Guoting patted his chest and promised, "You can rest assured, I promise to complete the task." ”

"Captain Zhou, let's go. Chen Letian said with a smile.

So that night, Zhou Guoting invited more than 20 people to Chen Letian's Qiushi Inn. As for the two points that Chen Letian said, the first is that he did it, and indeed only called more than 20 people, and these more than 20 people are equivalent to Chen Letian's most important group of henchmen in Qingtian Pavilion.

At the wine table, Chen Letian smiled and asked Zhou Guoting how he did the second point. Zhou Guoting said, I didn't say that you invited us, I didn't mention you at all. I went to them alone and told them, Brother Chen, you have been back for a few days, we should visit you. Of course, everyone agreed with me. That's why everybody is here.

As for the other students, of course, they also want to come, so I told them, let's go to visit in batches, we this month, you next month, or when you have time, don't go in groups, you can go one by one. I told them to pay attention to Brother Chen's rest, and everyone knows how hard Brother Chen has been in Shu in the past few months, so any behavior should be based on the premise of letting you have a good rest.

Everyone didn't insist on coming. After all, more than 20 of us were the first to bring it up, so of course we were the first to come.

Chen Lotian laughed and slapped Zhou Guoting on the shoulder and praised him for his wit.

More than 20 people were talking in the box on the second floor of the Qiushi Inn.

Chen Letian shared with them all kinds of things he encountered in Shudi. I told them that the people of Shu are really slow, just eating, drinking and playing, and they don't care about other things, which is not at all different from our people in the capital. Go to our Tianhe Avenue to see, everyone is walking fast, in the yamen everywhere, everyone walks without touching the ground to run

Shudi hundred officials, there are really all kinds of things, good and bad, but if you talk about it carefully, everyone has a characteristic, that is, it is almost enough, and there will be no demands.

Unlike our capital, if you make a small mistake, you may be grabbed by someone and you will be beaten by pigtails, and you don't want to live.

There are also merchants in Shudi, who are too closely combined with officials

Everyone is glad that they are in the capital and have such a clear rule, and they also feel unfair for the people of Shu who are thousands of miles away.

The students went down with three cups and two glasses, and the conversation began to increase, everyone talked and discussed the situation in Shudi, and finally came to the conclusion without surprise that the best way is to let the imperial court set up the imperial history platform inspection system. Under the basic premise of retaining the autonomy of Shudi, this is the best way that can be thought of at the moment.

Of course, everyone is touting Chen Letian again, Chen Letian is really avoiding praise now, as long as someone praises him, he will bow his head and drink, or talk to the people around him.

The banquet was almost drunk, Chen Letian picked up the wine glass and stood up and said, "We used to be one heart, we are now, and we will be in the future, friends, toast to the family."

Jian Nanchun's belly, such a good wine and such a strong wine, made Chen Letian look at these classmates with a turbulent heart, and he was really glad that after he returned to Beijing, he could meet so many people who worked hard and were positive, whether it was his peers or seniors, so that Chen Letian could learn a lot of good things from them.

Before they dispersed, Chen Letian gave each of them a small gift, which was not valuable, but had a heart. At least it shows that he Chen Letian knows everything that every good friend likes and cares about it, this is a friend.

The feast was a process of Chen Letian's expression of trust in these friends. After returning to Beijing, I am proud to have met all of you, and what I am happy about in this world is to make friends like you who are trustworthy and can learn from each other.

"In life, apart from relatives, they are just friends. Relatives are responsibilities, and friends are our companions in our common struggle. Before the dismissal, Zhou Guoting summed up for Chen Letian.

Chen Letian gave a thumbs up and said that Brother Zhou was not only resourceful, but also a hot-blooded young man.
