In other words, since Zhou Ang spent five taels of silver to "visit the prison" and borrow books, the two have known each other for two or three months, but in fact, they have not dealt with each other much.

However, many times the interaction between people is like this: between people who really have a deed, they don't need to have too much contact, they can intuitively feel that they are like-minded with each other.

The so-called confidant, about that.

Zhou Ang and Lu Duan, one is young, the other is dying of old age, one is at the beginning of life, barely a young man, and the other has been trapped in a corner for more than 20 years, it is boring to be old, but they have become friends with each other because of books, but after two or three months of work, they gradually have a tacit understanding - Zhou Ang asked sincerely, studying in Lu Duan, this is a pure study that has abandoned all other utilitarian goals, and Lu Duan greatly appreciates Zhou Ang's studious and diligent thinking, and is also surprised that this person's thinking is completely different from the vast majority of people in the world, and the freshness is outstanding.

So, in the academy, Zhou Ang bowed his head, which made each other quite happy at that time.

A feeling of fulfillment of a wish.

Although there was already a faint reality of master and apprentice in the past, but at this time, the name was set, and the relationship between each other inevitably became closer - not to mention anything else, at least at noon, Lu Duan kept the meal very seriously.

Zhou Ang did not shirk, and in this academy, he had a meal with his new teacher.

In other words, the "teachers" of this era and the teacher-student relationship are very different from the teacher-teacher relationship in schools after the popularization of basic education in later generations.

If you barely make an analogy, it is probably a little similar to the mentor when I was studying for a doctorate, but there is still a big difference - the so-called master "father", one day is a teacher and a father for life, and the status of the teacher is similar to that of the father, and once the two parties form a master-apprentice relationship, it is a lifelong bondage.

The rise and fall of each other, glory and disgrace, are all one.

Of course, when he first apprenticed, Zhou Ang didn't say a word about it, but still just seriously discussed with Lu Duan a few of his recent experiences in reading history, and Lu Duan obviously only enjoyed the happiness of sitting and discussing the Tao between the master and apprentice, and didn't mention anything irrelevant to it.

In fact, for the two people now, it is indeed not very easy to say.

Lu Duan's political career has already fallen to the bottom for many years, and he at least for the time being, he does not seem to have the desire or impulse to go out again, besides, even if he wants to go back out of the mountain, it is obviously impossible to expect Zhou Ang, a disciple who stays in the county-level yamen to eat and eat, to help much.

As for Zhou Ang's side, first of all, he doesn't have any ideas about being an official and being a big official, and secondly, he is relatively clear about the current situation of the teacher he worshipped, so he doesn't plan to borrow anything from him at all - if he wants to borrow, he also shows that he has no power to borrow.

When it comes to cultivation, there should have been a lot of questions to ask, but with the successful promotion to the eighth order not long ago, he already has a certain in-depth understanding of the particularity of the "mountain gate" he worshipped at the beginning, so although he has saved up a lot of questions, he doesn't know whether to ask for advice or how to ask for advice.

Lunch was over, the old servant came over and removed the dishes and chopsticks, and after the master and apprentice each had a cup of tea and drank a few sips to eliminate food, Zhou Ang stood up, bowed flutteringly, and said that he was going to leave and go back to the yamen.

At this time, Lu Duan didn't forget to tell again, "Zixiu, what Fang just said about being diligent and doing the right way, don't be ridiculous and don't fall, you have to keep it in mind!"

Zhou Ang said goodbye when he heard this, and seriously said that he had written it down.

After Zhou Ang left, Lu Duan got up and stood under the porch in front of the room, looking up at the scorching sun in August, feeling both happy and happy, thinking about it, and having nowhere to express, he simply went back and sat down, studied the ink seriously, spread out a piece of paper, and wrote with a pen:

"Brother Zishi: In a hurry, like a meeting.

I have a new disciple, that is, the five taels of silver mentioned in the previous letter to visit me, its dragon scales and phoenix chapters, bright and bright, although you and I are young, it is still not as good as just in case, and the previous book is prepared.

Come and think about it, people live for a lifetime, even if they are like you and me, they can live a hundred years old, and eventually they die, what can be enough to drink wine in the grave? Is it thirty years of prime minister? Thirty years of Shuzuo? History has been passed on? There are times of praise? Tian Qianqing, thousands of servants, how many sons, who does a woman marry, and eighty brides? Said: My way is preached.

Oh, my way is rumored today, and you will be the prime minister!"

After writing, he looked at it himself, only to feel that it was not easy to change a word, and when he read it again, his heart became faster and more beautiful, and he was extremely proud, so he happily mentioned the payment:

"Brother bow goodbye. ”

Put down the pen and read it again, it is still beautiful, but suddenly I remembered one thing, hurriedly picked up the pen again, and added two more lines at the end of the letter-

"And: Your previous gift of wine is not beautiful, when you send wine, the children are poor, I don't want to come to taste this wine, if you send it, you can get drunk. ”

Think again, write again-

"And: Recently, there have been frequent demons, and the place is difficult to know and control, my brother is old?"

After writing, he laughed, then calmly put down the brush, picked up the letter paper, and blew it gently, and the ink on the paper quickly dried up, so he said that the letter was simply folded, took a blank envelope, put it in, and wrote the letter: Xu Liang.

After the letter had been written and sealed, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture to the void, and suddenly a bird fell from the sky, with blue feathers and a multicolored crown, small like a harrier, and a short and red beak.

It fluttered its wings and landed lightly on the bookcase, Lu Duan handed the letter over, it held it lightly, and only heard Lu Duan say, "Xu Liang Xu Zishi." The bento immediately spread its wings and flew away, and disappeared into the void in an instant.

Seeing it disappear, Lu Duan seemed to have done a big thing, thinking of the possible reaction of the recipient, he became more and more proud, and couldn't help but get up and walk around, humming two lines of music that he had heard when he was young.

But suddenly, he stopped, thought for a moment, and sat down again to pick up his pen.

He was going to write another letter to each of his two sons, telling them that he had taken in a new protégé—as if he didn't show it off everywhere, and the pleasure in his heart would not be enough.

Not to mention that Lu Duan quickly wrote two letters, but he was suffering from his blue bird not replying, and he couldn't send them out for a while, just saying that in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Xu Liang Xu Zishi, the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, was taking a nap after dinner at this time, a little old man, although his hair was black as ink, he felt that this person was brilliant at a glance, but at this moment, when there was no one, when there was no one, his face was a little inexplicably tired.

If you change into ordinary clothes and go to the street, I am afraid that no one will be able to recognize this powerful minister who has been in power for 30 years, and it is really hard to believe that this person has always been good at managing the army and leading the troops before and after he ascended to the phase, and he is known for being the first soldier and extremely brave when fighting.

At this moment, in an ear room next to the government hall, he was lying on the couch on his side, his eyes closed and pretending to sleep, his face was full of exhaustion, but at a certain moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the void not far in front of him.

A moment later, a blue bird flew out of the void and landed on the small table in front of the couch where the clothes were placed.

Xu Liang rubbed his brows and said disdainfully, "What's the matter with Lu Zhengshan?"

The blue bird held the letter in its mouth and looked up at him.

Naturally, it doesn't speak.

Xu Liang took the letter from its mouth, tore open the seal, took out the inner bag and shook it casually, and after reading it after a while, he scolded: "Fart! Lu Duan, this guy is unreasonable! It's useless to deceive me!"

As he spoke, he had already stood up, and he was so angry that he walked back and forth in front of the couch for a few steps, feeling that he was not so angry when he sprayed Datang Tianzi in front of him this morning.

After a while, he stopped and said, "You thief bird, stay for a while, and watch me write back and scold him!"

Recently, I weaned my child, and I didn't sleep well all night, and I had a headache all day today, but I still wrote a little, don't be too little.
