People's hearts are separated by the belly, and a knife can be hidden in a smile.
The students are well aware of the purpose of Wang Song coming forward to find them to have fun together, but they also have their own ideas. Because they have been warned by the Wu family.
If Wang Song's family is compared to local tyrants, then Wu's family is a giant. Although they are classmates with Wang Song and have a close relationship, they give Wang Song special face because he is rich in money and has a family background as a country gentleman.
Otherwise, they are just ordinary classmates, why can they come when they are called
Now that the Wu family has come forward, Wang Song's words are naturally weaker by more than twelve points.
Although they are all scholars, some have loyalty first, and some have many worries. Facing Wang Song's words at this time, all the students present looked at each other face to face.
Everyone felt very embarrassed, but they didn't make a sound.
Chen Guhong frowned slightly, feeling uneasy and chilling in his heart. "The four Suihan friends, I met Wu Zhengchun and Zheng Chong by accident, but when things come to an end, they can come forward, even if they cannot be rescued, they can still wave the flag. But here are friends who have studied together since childhood."
Wang Song became angry all of a sudden, and said angrily: "Why are you all dumb? It's true that Gu Hong offended the Wu family, but we are friends."
The faces of the students were hot, but they still didn't say anything.
There is no sound in the private seat, and the drop of a needle can be heard. It seems that the bustling and drinking orders not long ago were just a dream.
Seeing this, Wang Song became even angrier, and suddenly turned his head to a classmate and said, "Jin Feihong, you are the oldest among us. And we are all together in the previous years. Come out and say something."
Although Wang Song said so, Jin Feihong was only two or three years older than them. The older children gave up the exam and went to earn a living.
Although he is the oldest, he has an honest personality. Hearing this, his face turned red, and he said, "Xiang Wang, it's not that we don't help. It's that the Wu family has already spoken. Others can pass the examination for talents in their teens, but we are all in our twenties. In a few years, if we still can’t pass the examination as a scholar, we can only find a job in the city to make a living. And the Wu family is so powerful, if the Wu family trips us up and wears small shoes, I’m afraid it will be difficult in the future.”
"What is the Wu family? Even if he covers the sky with one hand, so what if he ruins his family for the sake of his friends?" Seeing Jin Feihong's cowardice, Wang Song couldn't help but shout out.
Jin Feihong looked at Chen Guhong and Wang Song, his face was flushed, he opened his mouth but did not speak, and finally fell silent.
Wang Song was furious, but he didn't scold anymore, but looked at another classmate and said, "Wu Yan."
Wu Yan is the same age as Wang Song and Chen Guhong, and the relationship between the three has always been good. But at this moment, he gave a wry smile, cupped his hands and said, "My uncle is still a teacher of the Wu family, old Wang, don't make things difficult for me."
"Nah!"
Wang Song scolded again, and asked another question. Asked five times in a row, but no one opened up to make friends with Chen Guhong, and there were only a dozen people present.
Wang Song scolded one by one, each time becoming more fierce and angry each time. Everyone present panicked, fearing that Wang Song would scold him next, they felt ashamed no longer, their faces turned redder and their heads lowered even lower.
After Wang Song scolded the fifth one, he planned to find the sixth one. Chen Guhong waved his hands, and said calmly: "Brother Wang, stop scolding. Everyone has difficulties."
As soon as these words came out, the people present felt even more guilty, but they also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Wang Song came forward, Chen Guhong was the party involved after all. Now that the parties have spoken, Wang Song has no reason to embarrass them.
"Guhong." Wang Song turned around and shouted, really worried for Chen Guhong in his heart. There are indeed a lot of children in their county, but their friends are only present.
And now that friends don't help, who else can help Chen Guhong
Isn't the county test in vain? Leaving aside the grievances with Wu Xiude, this future is also over.
"Forget it." Chen Guhong waved his hands, then sighed, bowed his hands to his classmates and friends around, got up and walked out of the private seat.
"You bastards, I will break all ties with you." Wang Song was not as good-tempered as Chen Guhong, turned around and cursed, and then rushed to catch up with Chen Guhong.
"Guhong, Guhong, etc."
"Hey!" All the students sighed, feeling even more ashamed and guilty, but no one chased after them.
"Guhong, the most reliable person seems to be unreliable. What should we do now?" After catching up with Chen Guhong, Wang Song shook his head and said dejectedly.
"For the time being, let's put aside the matter of mutual ties. Let's find a scholar to give us a guarantee." Chen Guhong laughed.
"You can still laugh?" Wang Song hated that iron can't be steel, but then he sighed: "I'm afraid no one will guarantee you." Then he said angrily: "If I beg my father, my father will agree Yes. But my father has gone on a long trip, and I'm afraid he won't be back in three months."
"Why can't you laugh? Could it be that you still have to cry?" Chen Guhong was indeed a little chilled just now, but at the moment he also feels good. Stern is a loyal minister, and the strong wind knows the strong grass.
We are friends only if we share weal and woe.
Immediately, Chen Guhong patted Wang Song on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "There is nothing you can do if uncle is not here, Brother Wang, don't blame yourself." After a pause, Chen Guhong said: "Let's try it first."
"it is good."
Wang Song nodded.
Immediately, the two went to the vegetable market and bought five catties of pork, one catty of carp, one catty of lotus seeds, one catty of longan, and one catty of lychees, and they went to visit.
Finding someone to guarantee, of course, has to pay a price. However, talking about money among scholars is too vulgar, so the gifts are just these homely things. These gifts are useful, tasty and not tacky.
And the person they were looking for was also a guarantee for them in previous years. An old scholar in this county. This old scholar was friends with their deceased first teacher.
My family is not very rich, so I can't wait for this kind of thing.
In previous years, they were very politely invited to sit in, drink a cup of ordinary tea, and sign the papers very readily. But today Chen Guhong and the two came with large and small bags, but they were rejected directly.
Facing the closed and silent door, I asked my neighbors to find out that this old scholar had gone to live in the countryside with his family. The countryside is not far away, and it can be reached in a day by horse-drawn carriage.
"This is obviously avoided." Wang Song scolded, smiling wryly. Then he asked Chen Guhong: "What should I do? Do you want to go to the countryside to see?"
"Forget it, since you can't avoid it, why bother to come to your door?" Chen Guhong smiled lightly.
"Then what should we do? Neither knot nor bond can help you. Now you really have nowhere to go." Wang Song said with a mournful face.
"It's natural to pass it to the bridge." Chen Guhong laughed loudly, and then left with his head held high, not feeling weak, but even more proud.
It is the wind that knows the strength of the grass, and you can see the real heroes even against the trend.
Just like all the students who are resigned to it, like this old scholar who escaped.
And Chen Guhong would only feel more inspired.
"Look at me piercing the net."
