Chapter 4 Friends
For a while, even if she was flamboyant, she was also a little moved under such sincere words.
Sighing slightly, she smiled faintly: "It's just a gesture, Brother Luo doesn't have to take it to heart." ”
With that, she picked up the bowl of noodles and began to eat.
This noodle is very soft and melts into the soup, although it does not have the taste of big fish and meat on weekdays, but it also has a unique flavor.
By the time she finished eating, the man cleaned everything up. Chengyun wanted to wash the dishes, but he didn't expect the man to snatch the bowl directly and wash it in a few clicks.
As the man cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Chengyun glanced at his hands.
These hands are not rough, although they have calluses that fall from writing, but they are obviously not a pair of hands that do rough work. From this, it can be seen that his previous life was not very good, but at least he didn't have to make a living by doing such work.
Seeing that he had packed everything up, Chengyun followed him and left the back kitchen full of the smell of oil smoke.
Tonight's wind is still so gentle, blowing through people's faces, with a hint of coldness, as if winter has not passed, but the smell of snow has long been lost.
Chengyun is a talker, and now when he sees the two of them silent like this, he feels really uncomfortable in his heart, so he said first: "Brother Luo likes painting? ”
The man nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
Chengyun was already familiar with his character, so he didn't force him to answer more, but just said to himself: "How many years have you practiced painting?" ”
The man lowered his head, and after a while, he said slowly, "Fifteen years..."
It's been so many years? It seems that this person really loves painting, but judging from his previous skills, it is also mediocre, so it can be seen that he is just pondering by himself.
Thinking of this, Chengyun couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Luo is a person with perseverance, and ordinary people can't practice for these years." I would venture to ask, how old are you this year? ”
The man was still expressionless: "Twenty." ”
Chengyun nodded: "Brother Naluo is two years older than me, and I am eighteen." Have you been reading all these years? ”
The man snorted, and then added rarely: "Luo's family is poor, in addition to reading, he just copies articles for people, sometimes paints, but can't sell them." ”
For a while, Chengyun didn't know how to comfort him, so he just smiled: "At first, I thought that Brother Luo was silent, but I didn't expect that Brother Luo was just a good man, and I admired him." ”
She originally thought that the man would say something grateful, but she didn't think that he just said coldly: "You don't have to be insincere, I am indeed clumsy." ”
This time, it was Chengyun who was stunned, she originally wanted to explain, but when she saw the man's calm expression, she felt that he might not care about other people's opinions at all.
With a long sigh, she tried to start a new topic: "Where does Brother Luo want to be an official?" ”
The man smiled rarely: "It's good to have a place to go." What about you? ”
This rare rhetorical question made Chengyun not feel that the previous politeness had finally paid off, and her voice also added a bit of cheerfulness: "I want to go to the Ministry of Rites, I have always longed for the rule of Yao Shun in ancient times, and I want to return to the world of great harmony and mutual affection and harmony!" ”
Hearing her words, the man's expression suddenly became very serious: "Then I will also go to the Ministry of Rites." ”
Chengyun was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why do you suddenly want to go to the Ministry of Rites?" ”
The man nodded: "I want to be the same as Brother Ji." ”
After that, he said again without a beginning or an end: "I have a single name, and my home is in Huai County next to Huaishui." ”
Chengyun was stunned again, and finally picked up his words: "My name is Chengyun, and my father hopes that I can ride the clouds to go straight up." I believe that we can all fulfill the wish in our hearts, and see you at the Ministry of Rites when the time comes! ”
Luo Huai nodded seriously: "I know Brother Ji's name, you are very famous in this session." ”
Such a wooden person would actually say such good things? It's a bit surprising...
Outside the small building where he lived, Chengyun said sincerely: "It's about to take the test, we can test each other together." ”
Luo Huai still looked serious: "If Brother Ji doesn't think Luo's residence is shabby, let's talk about it." ”
When he said these words, he still didn't have any inferiority complex on his face, but he was very calm, which made Chengyun can't help but feel a little appreciation.
Skirting the winding corridor, Luo Huai's footsteps stopped in front of the smallest room.
This guest house was originally divided into a first-class room and an ordinary room, Chengyun naturally lived in the best, while Luo Huai lived in the most shabby one.
As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by an old, moldy smell. Looking inside, the few objects are pitiful, and it can be said that there are four walls of the house.
Luo Huai pointed to the chair, motioned for Chengyun to sit down, and then stepped back to sit on the bed, then directly took a book and discussed it with Chengyun.
Chengyun knew that this person was a high school, so he deliberately picked up some questions to ask, pretending that he didn't understand. Luo Huai didn't notice her disguise, but just answered seriously.
To tell the truth, his knowledge is indeed not small, but he only has a hard work on rigid reading and memorization, and he does not have much understanding of policy and current affairs.
But it is not difficult for such a person to pass the world, after all, he has learned very solidly, and he has completely memorized the content of any book and has not omitted anything.
People like him really fit in with the atmosphere of the Ministry of Rites.
Unconsciously, the two of them talked about it in the middle of the night, and when they saw that it was not early, Chengyun got up and left.
Before leaving, she stopped Luo Huai: "Brother Luo, I want to buy a new dress tomorrow, do you have time?" ”
Luo Huai nodded: "Yes in the morning, I'll look for you tomorrow." ”
After the two men exchanged time and place, they prepared to disperse. At this moment, Luo Huai's voice sounded from behind him: "Brother Ji's coat is hanging at the elbow of the thread, I will sew the clothes, leave them to me, and give them to you tomorrow morning." ”
Chengyun didn't say much, just handed him the clothes. Luo Huai is a straight person, with clear grievances, since he wants to repay the little favor at that time, let him be.
After a tired day, he returned to the room and lay down on the bed, and Chengyun soon fell asleep.
The next morning, as soon as she was freshening up, she heard a knock at the door.
